Vegan Lemon Coconut Pound Cake
Vegan Lemon Coconut Pound Cake is moist, flavorful and perfect for slicing and packing in lunches. The recipe is a lot like my Coconut Cupcake recipe and I think would make a perfect cupcake with lemony frosting added. If you want a moist Tea Time sweet treat, then bake this up today.
I took this to our latest ski retreat for 8 hardy appetites and pre-sliced the servings and wrapped them in cute wax paper bags and taped them shut. Everyone wanted to know where I BOUGHT the pastry! Now that was a compliment. The non-vegans would not believe that it was VEGAN! Try a slice with fresh organic strawberries and raspberries this spring!
Lemon Coconut Pound Cake Ingredients
Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray the pan of choice with a spray oil and dust with unbleached organic flour.
A loaf or bundt pan provides the perfect shape for slicing once the cake is cooled.
2/3 cup Jarrow's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 2/3 cup organic cane sugar
1/4 cup Wildwood Soy Creamer or Trader Joe's Soy Creamer
1-14-ounce can of Trader Joe's Lite Coconut Milk
zest of two organic lemons
1 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
3 teaspoons Flavorganics Coconut Extract
3 cups Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached Flour
try 2 cups flour and 1 cup spelt
2 teaspoons Bob's Red Mill Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Bob's Red Mill Baking Soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup organic shredded coconut
The Lemon Drizzle Syrup
1 cup organic can sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons Limoncello, optional for adult taste (Trader Joe's)
bundt pan, (non-stick is best)
BUY the Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Original Bundt Pan
12 squares loaf pan works well or 12 - 3.25 ounce paper souffle cups
Cuisinart Food Processor
Cuisinart Knife Blade Attachment
measuring spoons and cups
small sauce pan
wooden or metal kebab skewer
Make sure your oven is preheated to 350 degrees F. before mixing the cake.
Spray the pan of choice with an oil spray and dust the surface with a tablespoon of unbleached organic flour to coat the entire surfaces.
The Wet Batter
With the Knife Blade attached to the Cuisinart Food Processor, process the coconut oil and sugar until combined.
Add the coconut milk, soy creamer, vanilla and coconut extract and process till blended thoroughly.
The Dry Ingredients
To the work bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt and pulse till combined, but don't over beat.
Add the shredded organic coconut and pulse till distributed evenly in the batter.
Remove the work bowl from the Cuisinart and use a spatula to distribute the batter evenly in the pan of choice.
HINT: I love a bundt pan for this cake, but one of the new 12 rectangle pans or even paper souffle cupcake cups would work well for this cake.
Set the pan on top of an insulated cookie sheet and bake for one hour.
Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake and if it comes out clean it is DONE!
The Lemon Drizzle Syrup
While the cake bakes, create the Lemon Drizzle Syrup.
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat pour the sugar and lemon juice and stir till the sugar is totally dissolved.
Remove from heat and add the Limoncello if you like… this is an adult taste.
Use a kabob skewer and poke holes all over the warm cake's top while it is still in the pan.
Very slowly drizzle the hot lemon syrup over the top of the cake to allow it to soak into the loaf.
Place the hot baked cake pan on top of a wire cake rack and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes BEFORE inverting onto the cake rack. This allows the cake to pull away from the sides and makes a clean release when inverted.
Once the cake is completely cooled, use a serrated knife to slice and serve.
For a weekend ski trip for eight persons, I cut the Lemony Coconut Pound Cake into serving slices and slipped them into cute dessert bags, folded to close and sealed with a small piece of clear tape. I then froze the cake bags so they would not be crushed during transport.
Everyone wanted to know what bakery I purchase the cake from. It took some convincing that I had prepared it all and that it was VEGAN!
Just set out the cake bags in a basket and see them disappear. Make the Lemony Coconut Pound Cake on the weekend, create wrapped individual servings, freeze and pull out as needed for lunches or a quick afternoon tea time.
SoyaToo, Whipped Topping
For those who loved whipped cream, I just tried a new whipped soy topping, SoyaToo, on top of my tapioca! It tasted good and made a great presentation. It deflates soon, so put the SoyaToo on just before serving. It's in the refrigeration case at Whole Foods... ask your health food store to carry it if they don't have it in stock. Soyatoo comes in an aseptic box like tofu and soy milk and you can whip it yourself... read and see how well it whips for those desserts that call for whipping cream. Now vegans can create any dessert that calls for whipped cream with Soyatoo as the healthy alternative!
Whipped Full Fat Coconut Milk
Rather than using SoyaToo Whipped Topping, use a full-fat organic coconut milk. Chill the can overnight in the refrigerator, scoop the thick fatty part out of the can and save the liquid at the bottom for another recipe. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of agave nectar or sugar and whip on high speed till fluffy and smooth. Scoop into a pastry bag fitted with a large noozle of choice and pipe onto the top of your servings. Soooooo goooooooooood!

Lets take a look at the opening Week 15 NFL odds and see if any NFL picks are showing themselves early this week.
The stretch run is here in the NFL and teams are locked in.
Week 14 saw some huge margins of victory and saw nearly an even split in
favorites and underdogs covering the NFL betting spreads. Will week 15 prove to be similar?
Let's take a look at the early NFL odds boards for week 15.
Detroit Lions at Oakland Raiders
I lead off with this game because it is the most puzzling
game out there, with sportsbooks opening the lines with the Raiders at -1. The Lions had started as one point underdogs, but have quickly moved to one point favorites. I would expect them to continue to
The Raiders got blasted by the Packers 46-16, while the Lions were
able to take care of the Vikings 34-28. Neither of them covered. While Carson
Palmer threw four interceptions against Green Bay, the Lions defense picked off
Christian Ponder three times and recovered three fumbles for a total of six
take aways, (two resulted in a touchdown). This line might end up skyrocketing.
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos
I'm just itching to see this one. The Patriots held on in DC
to beat the Redskins in Week 14, while the Broncos were given an early
Christmas present win from the Bears and Marion Barber in their game. If the
Broncos can pull this one off, I will denounce every atheist I ever meet for
the rest of my life.
The Patriots opened as -5 ½ point favorites and now have
moved to -6. I can see this one sticking. Tim Tebow has been a one man Vegas
killing machine since he took over. I think by now they have learned their
lesson. Every algorithm they have; he blows out of the water. Tebow is
unpredictable and the books hate it.
New York Jets at Philadelphia Eagles
They should call this the trash talk bowl. Philadelphia
hasn't done much talking as of late, but the Jets could make up for a whole
division's worth of trash talk. Both teams won their week 14 games and covered.
The Eagles won convincingly in Miami in Michael Vick's first game back after
breaking ribs. The Jets pounded the Chiefs 37-10.
What's funny is that
Philadelphia opened up as -1 favorites and faster then you can say Dream Team, they have moved to -3. I'm sorry, did Michael Jordan sign with the Eagles? I didn't
think so. Though, these two team's fan bases are crazy; so who knows how many
of them are placing home team bets on their squad. Let's see where it goes
throughout the week. I would be surprised to see the Jets take more then three
Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers
Another game featuring two teams who won their respective
Week 14 games square off here; this time under the lights of Sunday night.
Well, it won't be quite dusk in San Diego on kick off, but either way, it
should be a pretty good game.
The game started as a pick em' and has moved to
have the Ravens anywhere from -1 favorites to -2 ½. Both teams feature high
powered offenses, but the Ravens' defense has been their focal point. An AFC
playoff berth is probably long out of reach for the Chargers, but they have
been playing very well as of late and would love to play spoiler on national

This is a swallowtail caterpillar, Papilio machaon.
Yes, it is about to pupate - the silk girdle is visible.
But... in North Somerset!
That is way outside the normal distribution of the British race (parts of the Norfolk Broads).
Migrants of the continental race have been recorded at many localities in the south of the UK
But it is much rarer for larvae to be spotted...
Do you have any of its foodplants growing nearby?
- Milk-parsley (Peucedanum palustre) - used by the native race
- various umbellifers such as Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) and Wild Angelica (Angelica sylvestris) - used by the continental race
Do you know anybody who rears butterflies locally? (maybe it escaped)
I suggest you tell Peter Eels about this (email@example.com), he runs the website above.
And report it to Butterfly Conservation (http://butterfly-conservation.org/55/contact.html)
Good observation Richard!
Thanks - I thought I was seeing things! I went back and forth through Porter knowing what it looked like and convinced it must be something else. Checking the Millenium Atlas and Butterflies of the Bristol region just made me more suspicious. If an adult had been spotted in the village then I'm sure we would have heard.
Caterpillar is still there this morning and still in the same state. It is on the edge of a patch fennel 6ft tall, which is the closest we've got to anything approaching its normal food plants in this garden.
Will follow up the links you sent.
Thanks for the update; good; keep us posted!
How exciting - yes please keep us updated.
Richard, you are SO lucky! I knew someone who lived on the south coast who saw an adult swallowtail flying in their garden. He assumed it was an escape from a butterfly farm. But there are usually several sightings a year (in the south UK ) of Swallowtails that have flown in from the continent. For you to have a larva about to pupate could point to the fact that continental Swallowtails have come over and bred in your garden. Wouldn't it be lovely if Swallowtails established in southern England?
Thanks for the repsonses. On Bank Holiday Monday morning the larva was still looking very much like a caterpillar. When I got in from work in the evening it had become a pupa, as per the photograph. The general consensus seems to be that it is either the result of an escapee from captive breeding or offspring of one of the European race (gorganus) that have been spotted along the souh coast this summer. Either way it was a bit of a shock!
Now, if it is either captive breed or European race, will it be robust enough to survive our winters? Any thoughts on whether I should/am able to do anything to increase its chances of survival?
Turning into a nice story.
I'd be guided by what BC have to say.
So, the weather has been warm and the swallowtail hatched today, almost exactly 5 weeks after pupating. As you can see one tail was missing, but otherwise it was fine. It spent an hour on the patio warming itself up, not fazed by the visits of neighbours annd then flew high and strong over the trees and is currently visiting local gardens. However, today we were also visited by a party of ten blue tits plus a few great and coal tits and there are plenty of other hunrgy birds about... and the temperatures at night aren't so rosy.
Thankyou so much for this update. I have been wondering what happened. You are so lucky and at least now you can prepare yourself for next year and keep a close eye on that fennel plant of yours and its potential rare and beautiful visitors :-)
Thanks for letting us all in on this story!

Building Your Own Tube Amp
Ambitious title, eh ? Well the intent of this article is to lay out a logical plan of action for those courageous individuals who are contemplating building their own tube amplifier, but just can’t seem to figure out where to start. As a recent rank beginner myself, I can assist you with information on the thought processes I went through when planning and constructing my own amp. This article will point up important things to consider before you lay out your hard earned cash. Naturally it leans toward creating single-ended and push-pull direct-heated triode amplifiers, which I believe are the best sounding, easiest to build, and give the greatest chance for success, but I think this plan will also work for other types of tube amps and preamps as well.
Tube electronics is generally very simple when compared with the current commercial solid-state microelectronics of today. The real magic goes on inside the tubes themselves. You just mount them on a chassis and provide them with the electricity and audio signal they need to do their jobs. Tube amps are very forgiving and will tolerate incredible abuse and misuse for short periods of time, like during initial power up and debugging.
I believe you can build your own amp that sounds as good or even better than a commercial one for half the cost. And with it comes the immeasurable joy of creating a work of true artistic beauty with your own hands and mind, an amplifier that is as pleasurable to look at as it is to listen to, and one that is so well built, it will be around long after we are all dead and gone. You can’t buy anything like that at Circuit City!
I’m telling you that you don’t have to understand tube amp design or even tube operation theory to build a extremely high performance, state-of-the-art triode amplifier from scratch. Man, this ain’t rocket science! If you are at all experienced with soldering, drilling, and a little painting, you CAN do it. All it takes is a few tools, a schematic, a building plan, and some cash. But above all, what it takes is a sincere desire to create the amplifier of a lifetime.
I’m here to give you a building plan that worked for me. But I warn that this article is very generic in nature and does not attempt to cover all components and situations and does make sweeping generalizations for the sake of brevity. And of course it is all my most humble opinion.
Deciding what kind of amp to build
OK folks, this is absolutely the number one, most important thing of all to consider when building your amp. And you thought it was the wiring! Nope. You must have a firm understanding of your power needs and your output tube and topology options before you can make any intelligent choices for building that dream amp of yours. If you blow this step, you’ll be setting yourself up for a big, expensive, time consuming failure, and a great listening disappointment to boot.
It has been said that the amplifier – speaker interface is the most important in audio and you better believe it if you want to succeed in maximizing your audio enjoyment by building your own personal expression of vacuum tube art. If you don’t already have a pair of efficient, good sounding speakers (generally >90db/watt/meter), you know what you need to do first. Otherwise you are relegated to more conventional push-pull pentode tube and solid-state amps with a higher power output (>25 watts per channel).
Below is chart of common direct-heated triode output tubes and their associated power capabilities. I am one of those audio radicals who believe that direct-heated triode push-pull amplification has just as much potential for giving ultimate musical enjoyment as single-ended amplification does. Therefore I am including push-pull ratings in my chart of common output tubes to give you more options to consider in making that all-important output tube selection based on your power requirements and parts cost. Just remember you have to use push-pull output tubes in pairs, so the tube cost doubles versus single-ended.
Common direct-heated triode output tubes and their average maximum power output at average operating points and their least cost:
PP watts (pair)
I recommend that you use the efficiency of your speakers as a guide to your available options as to output tube selection and amplifier topology (single-ended or push-pull). If your speakers’ efficiency is around 90db, then you are pretty much relegated to using the 300B type tubes and their super tube variants (VV32B, VA5300, etc.). This is not a liability at all as the 300B is one of the best sounding tubes ever produced. Even if you have highest efficiency speakers, the golden tone of the 300B tube and extra headroom it provides, are still the safest bet for DHT amplifier success with the most kinds of speakers, especially if they are not horn types.
Push- pull 300B amplification offers the highest output power level of any of the above configurations (up to 40 watts per channel or more in some circuits!).
In the middle of the speaker efficiency range, around 92db/w/m, we have push-pull 2A3 amplification, which is probably the cheapest route to DHT audio enjoyment. With Chinese 2A3 tubes selling for $15 and the availability of used push-pull output transformers from salvage pentode amps selling for pennies on the dollar, there is no economic excuse for not joining the DHT amp party.
For those of you who want to go for that low wattage (< 5 watts) exotic sound, the more esoteric SE 2A3 and 45 tube amplification may just be your ticket to audio nirvana, but you better have a pair of really efficient speakers (>96db/w/m) to have a realistic hope of success, which usually means a speaker with a horn type configuration.
For my initial foray into the world of DIY tube amps, I decided to hedge my bets and go with the 300B single-ended tube topology for higher power and great fidelity.
Building an amp from a kit or from scratch
If you are the type of person that doesn’t like to be hassled with the process of making decisions, locating and purchasing individual parts, drilling, cutting and painting metal chassis, then maybe you should build one of the many excellent complete kits out there which will get you up and running in short order. In the middle ground, there are “parts” kits out there that give you most or all of the parts, but you still have to layout, cut, drill, and finish the chassis yourself. If so, just skip to the appropriate section that you need. But if you’re the type of adventurous soul who wants something beyond what is available in kit form, something that is totally unique in all the world, something that gives the pleasure that only building and owning your own creation can bring, just keep on reading.
Finding a schematic
By now you should know that you want to “do-it-yourself” and also what type of power tube and topology you want to use to build your amp. Getting your hands on a good schematic is the probably the second most important step in the amp building process. Unless you are an experienced experimenter and design your own amps, the safest route is to select a proven schematic from many that are offered for free at sites on the Internet. For instance sites like :
or in magazines like Sound Practices.
A great way to start to learn tube audio is to get hold of as many schematics as you can find and study them closely. If you study them long enough, you will begin to see similarities in circuits and their sections from one schematic to another. Try to view an amp as a combination of different stages (driver stage, output stage, power supply, etc.) and not just a collection of individual parts (resistors, capacitors, tubes, etc.). You can’t see the forest for the trees? Try to see the forest as groups of trees…
Another good way to learn is to get hold of a vintage tube amp and its schematic and spend some time studying the wiring underneath while trying to visualize the circuit flow from input to output. It looks impossible at first, but you’ll be surprised how much you’ll pick up in no time. I’ve found that this is left brain information and sleeping on it will enable you to absorb more than you thought you ever would. Usually commercial push pull designs are much more complicated than what we would normally build, so if you can figure one of them out, our typical DIY amps will be a breeze to understand and build by comparison.
Your amp’s ultimate performance and parts requirements will be dictated by the schematic that you select to build. If you’re not sure which one to pick, try to find one that someone else has built, who can vouch for its performance. Maybe you can even talk them into answering any questions you might encounter as you go along. That’s how I got started. And remember that folks on the Joenet will be glad to help you with any questions also.
(Signal section schematic)
(Power supply schematic)
I’ve always subscribed to the “less is more” and the “keep it simple stupid (KISS)” school of audio design. Luckily both of these prerequisites came together beautifully in a schematic that was given to me by a serious audio experimenter, Gary Dahl. This circuit is exceedingly simple and pure, with no capacitors or resistors in the signal path. And it requires only a hand full of parts to build. I knew the first time I laid my eyes on this schematic that I HAD to build this amplifier. I feel that interstage transformer coupling between the driver and output stages maximizes audio performance while minimizing construction difficulty due to the lower parts count. Please let me know if you need a copy of this interstage coupled 300B schematic or the 2A3, 6B4G, or 45 version of it and I will email it to you. I also have schematics for an interstage-coupled push-pull 2A3 or 6B4G amplifier using the same 5842 driver tube as the single-ended versions. I have built and am currently using the 6B4G version and it is also a wonderful sounding amp. This would be a good choice for those with less efficient speakers or those with PP iron to build with.
In any case, I will also distribute these schematics upon request. These are the same ones that I have offered previously on the Joenet.
There are also many other good schematics that use 2A3s, 6B4Gs, 45s, or other triodes that are capacitor coupled and don’t require interstage transformers to build. There are cap coupled versions of these amps on Angela’s website and on the Aprilsound ‘s website. In any case, you must weigh your options and make your choice before you can begin building. Don’t get hung up here and vacillate endlessly on which one to pick. This article will apply to all of them, as there are only minor differences in building any of them. And ANY triode amp is better than none, so pick the schematic that best meets your needs and budget at this point and let’s get building!
Now that you have your schematic in hand, you can start to collect the parts that are called for in your schematic. This step can be as quick as a single trip to a local ham fest or it could take years if your parts include “unobtainium”. Locating and purchasing parts can be as exciting as any step in the building process if you approach it with the correct attitude. Instead of seeing it as a chore, look at it instead as a treasure or bargain hunt. Finding the best, rarest, cheapest, or whatever, can be very exciting in itself and will contribute greatly to the ultimate sound quality of the amplifier. My advice is to buy the best parts you can afford.
I get a lot of my new parts from Handmade Electronics, Angela Instruments, Triode Electronics, Welborne Labs, Mouser Electronics and believe-it-or-not, Radio Shack. I find lots of non-critical parts there and I don’t have to order them.
For used or vintage parts, I get them from other Joenet members and by shopping at hamfests. I’ve gotten some real bargains on tubes at hamfests, a exciting treasure hunt for sure.
Selecting transformers or “iron”, as it is known to the tube audio do-it-yourselfer, is usually the single most expensive category of parts required for any tube amp building project. The quality of the iron greatly affects the ultimate performance capability of the amplifier.
Surplus or “vintage” push-pull iron can usually be found at a much lower price than new or used single-ended iron, just because there was so much more of it made commercially. But don’t think that because it’s cheaper, the old stuff can’t be very good. In fact, some vintage iron is as good as any commercially available iron being produced today, as the art of transformer production was at a very high level at the time. Also be aware that single-ended iron is usually larger, heavier and more expensive because it requires more materials costs to build in the first place. So generally expect to pay more for the output transformers to go with single-ended topology.
I bought new iron for my amp because, at the time, I had proceeds from the sale of my former amp to apply to the new one and I wanted the security of building with new parts. But if you have more time to scrounge and less money to spend, vintage parts can be a great choice for building your ultimate amp.
Be sure to read, understand, and respect the values and ratings of all parts indicated in the schematic that you are using to build your amp. These are design and safety specifications and must be observed even if you substitute other brands of parts. It is usually OK to use a part rated higher than the one it replaces, but you usually can’t safely use one rated lower. For example, if a power supply capacitor is rated at 350 volts, it’s usually OK to substitute one rated higher, at say 450 volts or more. But you could not use one rated for 250 volts safely in this instance. For a resistor rated at 1/4 watt, you can usually safely substitute one rated at a half watt or higher. To capriciously change any parts specifications without knowing what you are doing is inviting catastrophic failure. This could result in shock or fire, or at the very least an expensive component failure.
Use your head and think about this and it will make sense to you. These specifications include the voltage, wattage, capacitance, resistance, impedance, and current ratings for each component and should be specified for all parts on the schematic. When in doubt, or if it is not specified, ask an experienced builder or technician who would know. Safety first!
Power transformers and chokes can be had new or used and will usually be priced accordingly. Be sure to select transformers that have sufficient voltage and current ratings to support all the tubes that will be taking power from it. Over sizing the current capacity of the power transformer is usually a good thing as it will reduce heat buildup and extend longevity. On the other hand, chokes need to be sized fairly close to the normal operating current load to do their filtering job effectively. You can estimate the total current requirement for your amp by adding up the total plate current used by each tube in the amp.
For my amp it is 2 x 20 ma = 40 ma total for the 5842s and 2 x 60 ma = 120 ma total for the VV30Bs or 40 + 120 = 160 ma total for the amp. So I used 200 ma as a minimum rating figure for selection of my power transformer and choke to allow a little overhead. I usually try to pick the power trannie B+ rating for a choke input power supply and then add some cap input if the B+ falls short. So for 300B B+ rating, shoot for 450 volts, and for 2A3, 6B4G, and 45 shoot for a 350 volt B+ rating.
First, let’s start with the iron. You can get the readily available Hammond power transformers and chokes from many sources such as Handmade and Angela. For a power transformer for the 300B amp I would recommend the Hammond model 278X or 300BX for a stereo amp or the 275X for a monobloc amp.
For a 2A3, 6B4G, or 45 stereo amp, I would recommend the Hammond 273BX or 302AX, or the 273X for a monobloc amp. For filament transformers for the SE 300B amps, I would recommend the Hammond 166L5, and the 166L2 for the SE 2A3 and the 45, and the 166L6 for the SE 6B4G. For push-pull amps you’ll need twice the filament current for two tubes in parallel, so check the filament requirements for the output tube you’ll be using and size the filament trannie accordingly. For chokes, I can recommend the belled Hammond 193J for most all the above stereo amps and the belled 193G or the unbelled 159P for monoblocs. I usually used the belled chokes and mount them up on top of the chassis with the other trannies.
For output iron, Handmade sells the Hammond and the Magnequest SE trannies. Pick the 2.5K or 3K versions for SE 300B, 2A3, or 6B4G. In the Hammond line, it is the 1627SE and in the Magnequest line it is the DS025, or the bigger RS330. For the SE 45 it is the MQ DS050 at 5K. For push pull amps, Magnequest makes the 5K B21 for PP 300B, 2A3, and 6B4G. And the 6.6K B20 for PP 45. ElectraPrint Audio also sells output iron and Steve Berger at Aprilsound sells the full Tango line of output iron. Take your personal choice here.
For interstage transformers, your choices are a little more limited. Magnequest makes the RIT5 for SE and also a version for PP (5K). ElectraPrint makes a SE version for the 5842 (5K) also. Tango makes several suitable interstage models such as the NC-18 and NC-20. And Lundahl in Sweden makes a full line of power, output and interstage transformers for audio use. I have used belled interstage transformers on top of the chassis and the unbelled ones underneath. Take your choice here.
All the other parts, such as tubes, sockets, 50 watt gold-finned cathode resistors, 450 volt power supply capacitors, carbon composition resistors, and other parts, I get from the previously mentioned sources. If you have any questions here, please ask.
Selecting a chassis
Think “big” here. Why condemn yourself to working inside a small, cramped, dark box? For a few dollars more you can have plenty of real estate to spread all your components out and get a soldering iron in there to boot.
Don’t make building harder than it has to be. For a stereo amp, go ahead and get a full size chassis (17″ by 14″ by 3″, Hammond 1441-38, available at Angela) and don’t think twice. For monoblocs, you can adjust the size accordingly. So unless you have shelf or other space limitations, get a big chassis that will work easily for all the components you’re using. You’ll stay calmer while building it and your amp will look and run cooler too. Also, if you have a lot of heavy transformers, you will probably require the extra strength of a steel chassis versus one that is made from aluminum or other materials. This will prevent flexing and bending under the weight of all the iron.
My interstage-coupled SE VV30B amp weighs about 70 pounds (!), so I used heavy steel for my chassis. Also there are even copper and silver chassis available from specialty retailers, so take your pick. Just use your common sense here and pick the best size and material for your amp.
Laying out the chassis
Here is an area where your artistic side must balance with your practical side in order to get a workable component layout. I suggest looking in audio magazine articles and ads for a picture of an amp that you really like the looks of. If you think about it some, you can probably go a long way towards laying out your amp similar to theirs. You may have to move a few things a little here and there, but the layout worked for them and it can work for you too. I emulated the layout of a Japanese amp I saw in the pages of Sound Practices magazine and it worked beautifully for me. It’s the picture I saw in my head when I envisioned my ultimate amp. Be sure to get this right as you’ll probably be living with this baby for a long time to come.
On the other hand, you can be a original as you dare, but practicality demands that there is a circuit “flow” that must be respected.
The components are wired together from input to output, one to another, so don’t make wiring it more difficult by placing consecutive components on opposite sides of the chassis. Doing a logical flow in your component layout means keeping consecutive components next to each other whenever possible. This will insure that all under chassis wiring will be short, simple, and neat.
Perfect your layout by placing your transformers and tubes on top of the unfinished chassis according to the layout you have decided upon. Move them around some and align them, if needed, to get that perfect balance of looks and practicality that makes this your perfect creation. For my stereo amp, I situated the power supply in the middle of the chassis, on a centerline from front to back, and the audio channels on either side, on a centerline, from front to back. At the rear of the amp, starting at each side, I placed the RCA jack and speaker binding posts, with the IEC power cord jack and fuse holder in the middle, all centered on a horizontal line across the rear. Take plenty of time and measure carefully before and after you mark the holes, checking and rechecking your measurements for alignment and symmetry. Any mistakes at this stage can be expensive and detract from the overall looks of the amp. After you’ve gotten your layout perfected, mark the locations of all the component’s mounting holes with a pencil or marker.
Drilling and cutting the chassis
OK, metalwork can be a joy or a pain depending on how well you relate to power tools. This was the most difficult part for me because I didn’t realize beforehand that metalwork is a major part of making your own amp. I advise you to take your time here. You’ll ultimately do a better job and enjoy the experience more.
I used a 3/4 inch hole saw in my « inch drill to cut the two miniature 9-pin tube socket holes that were centered on the marks that I laid out for them. Next, I drilled three 1 1/8 inch holes for the rectifier and output tube socket holes. I was able to make do with just two sizes of metal hole saws because I was careful to purchase tube sockets that were made for these diameter holes. In addition, you may need to cut other holes in which to mount capacitors and other components. I sprayed a little WD-40 on the hole saws and drill bits during drilling, using it as a cutting oil, and it worked great.
Use the mounting holes in the transformer and tube socket brackets to determine the diameter of the drill bits needed to drill the mounting holes that you marked during the chassis layout. Use the mounting nuts on the toggle switches, RCA jacks, and binding posts to determine the correct size hole to drill to mount them. Also you will need to drill holes between the transformer brackets to allow the transformer lead wires to enter through the chassis. I usually drill these access holes big enough to accept rubber grommets, available at Radio Shack, that protect the transformer lead wires from rubbing against the edge of the chassis hole. Grommets are optional, be sure to drill an ample size hole for this, especially if you decide not to use the grommets. After you select the correct size drill bit, drill the appropriate holes to mount the power and audio transformers, grommets, tube sockets, power switches, RCA jacks, binding posts, fuse holders, capacitors, hum pots, chassis mounted resistors and any other components requiring chassis mounting that you have previously laid out.
You will probably need to cut at least one square hole for the IEC power cord socket and maybe others for horizontal mount power transformers, meters and such. I drilled 1/4 inch holes inside the four corners of the square and then used a power jigsaw or nibbling tool to connect the holes and complete the square cut out. In addition, you must center the bottom plate on the chassis and drill holes through both at once to attach the bottom plate to the chassis, unless it comes predrilled. I usually drill eight holes, one in each corner, and one in the center of each side and use small 1/4″ sheet metal screws to attach the bottom plate and they work nicely. Also, I drill four holes in the corners of the bottom plate in which to later mount four big rubber feet to support the amp. You’ll need to source the rubber feet at a hardware store, ham fest, or Antique Electronic Supply, or such and have them on hand in order to gauge the hole size you need to drill here. Also I recommend putting a flat washer inside the rubber feet to prevent it from pulling off the mounting bolt. You can also use the fancy brass cones or squishy balls for feet if you are so inclined.
After all the mounting holes are drilled and cut, you must then file and sand them smooth and clean, getting rid of all burrs and rough edges. Afterwards make sure that the intended component will fit into its mounting hole. If it is too tight or too rough, go back and file and sand some more until the part fits just right, with no binding. Don’t cheat here as any rough edges on the chassis could nick wiring insulation and cause a short or a give you a nasty cut while mounting or wiring components.
Finishing the chassis
The finesse and artistic touch required of this step stands in sharp contrast to the power and brute force required of the previous step. Let your artistic side have free reign as you decide on and apply the finish of your choice. You have many options for a chassis finish such as paint, chrome, powder coat, anodized, brushed etc., but I will cover only painting here, as it is usually cheaper and easier to do-it-yourself. These other finishes usually require the assistance of a professional to apply or purchase preapplied, usually at additional cost, so be aware.
You will need to apply primer to a raw, unfinished chassis or one that is being refinished, in order to prevent rust and to lay a tacky basecoat for the final painted finish. Some commercial chassis, such as Hammond, come already primed. If you are so lucky, you can skip the priming step. First, lightly sand the whole chassis and bottom plate inside and out to provide a slightly rough base for the primer coats. Next, wipe down the chassis with a good cleaning solvent such as alcohol or even a spray cleaner, such as Formula 409, to remove any grease or oils that might interfere with paint adhesion. Let it dry thoroughly and then spray two or more coats of gray auto primer inside and out to protect the interior from corrosion and provide a good base for the paint on the exterior of the chassis. Follow the painting directions on the can and then let the final coat dry overnight.
I decided early on that I wanted a nice metallic gold look for my chassis, so I used a metallic gold lacquer with matching lacquer clear coat that I selected from the auto parts store. I have found Pep Boys to be a source of many different attractive auto body colors to select from. I have also used metallic silver and metallic graphite gray with good results. Other paint options include Hammertite “hammer finish” paints and speckled “faux marble” finishes. Let your artistic side choose your preference for finish choice. Following the directions on the can, spay several coats of the paint on the outside of the chassis and bottom plate, while waiting the directed time between coats. Later spray several clear coats over the paint, again waiting the directed time between coats. Please follow the directions on the paint can as close as possible for the best finish. Be very careful in handling the newly painted finish to prevent smudges and fingerprints. Try to handle it by the bottom edges or by the tube holes if possible.
I advise that you wait several days and let the finish paint cure well before you handle the chassis and continue with the next step. If you rush it here you will create smears, tears, and scratches in the beautiful soft finish which will cause you great distress.
Trust me, I learned the hard way. Let the finish cure and harden for several days before going on to the next step, especially if you used many coats of paint. You’ll be glad you did.
Finishing the transformers and other exterior parts
You may need to sand off and refinish the power and/or the audio transformers if you are using vintage iron or if the new ones don’t look like you want. I usually need to sand smooth and repaint new Hammond iron because it comes sloppily dipped in varnish and I usually want my iron to be a flat or semi gloss black to complement my chassis color. Use the above chassis finishing directions to refinish any iron or other external parts that you need to get the look you’re after for your dream amp. Mounting parts on the chassis
This is a really fun step because you feel a great sense of accomplishment and excitement as you mount the grommets, transformers, tube sockets, switches, jacks, binding posts, etc. onto the beautiful chassis that you just finished preparing. Use screws and nuts obtained from Home Depot or other hardware stores to attach any hardware.
I used mostly 10-32 and 8-32 size screws, nuts, and flat and lock washers to do the job, but use the sizes YOU need to do the job. You can be creative here and use chrome or even brass nuts and bolts for that classy touch. Take care with component orientation and positioning as you mount the components. Also be careful not to scratch your chassis when doing this, as you will have to touch it up later if you do. This step goes fairly quickly and when you’re through, it looks just like that amp you’ve been dreaming about.
Wiring the amplifier
This step is where your practical side comes in and one that makes this amp your unique creation. This is the step that most people can’t envision beforehand and understandably so. Wiring an amplifier is just a series of simple steps, taken one at a time. The sum of them looks complex when you are finished, but taken individually they are quite simple. You must have the faith to go forward with the confidence that it WILL work out.
I have discovered that you can wire an amp exactly like a schematic is drawn and it will work. I used to think there were schematics and then there were real amp layouts, but now I realize that they are one and the same. It’s just that there are many practical ways to translate a schematic into a parts layout and still remain true to the schematic.
Whenever possible, you should wire directly between two components. If you have taken time laying out the components logically, wiring between them should be easy and direct. If you have parts that are not usually mounted directly on the chassis (resistors, capacitors, etc.), that come between two other mounted components (tube sockets, transformers, jacks, etc.), you will need to mount them on an adjacent terminal strip in order to bridge the two mounted components. You can do as I do, and mount them on the bolts that you used to mount the tube sockets, transformers, etc. whenever possible. In my amp, I mounted a five lug terminal strip (from Radio Shack ) adjacent to every tube socket using the bolt that mounted the tube socket to the chassis. I used it to attach the opposite ends of the grid and cathode resistors, bypass caps, and filament dropping resistors and such that were attached to their appropriate lug of the tube socket. If you think about what I just said it will make sense to you
First I connected the AC power socket to the power transformer and the fuse and power switch. Then I twisted and ran the 5842 and 300B filament supply wiring and used cable clamps to hold it down so that it would lie close to the chassis. Next, I installed the 5842 and 300B cathode resistors and bypass caps and the 300B hum pots. After that I wired the power supply caps and choke and the 5842 dropping resistors. Finally, I installed the wiring from the input jacks to the 5842 tube sockets.
Sorry, folks, that’s all I’ve got! If you’ve got any questions, email Ralph directly… He’s a great guy and will be glad to help you out.

Not twenty-four hours after placing my order, Lookmatic was finished with my glasses and they were shipped out the next day. I received my Bel Airs in the mail a few days later–the shipping was insanely fast! Unfortunately, they swapped my lenses’ prescriptions. I figured this out after a headache after wearing them for five minutes. At first I thought it was me adjusting to the new lenses, but then I took a look at the thickness of the lenses. My left eye is much stronger than my right, and I double-checked this with my current frames, this means the left lens is supposed to be thicker. The right lens in my Bel Airs was thicker, so I immediately contacted them and they were super nice about remaking the lenses for me. However, I wanted to at least wear them long enough to get some photos with them on. Took a few days to happen, but here they are!
They are absolutely GORGEOUS. The crystal frame is so pretty. I always worry that my strong prescription will ruin pretty frames, and I think that happened in this case. The thick white border of the frames was pretty prominent against the Citrus, which was more or less in the same color family as my skintone. If my eyes look eerily small here, it’s because I’m trying really hard to focus on one thing.
So unfortunately these didn’t work out for me. No worries, I have my Warby Parker Preston Bellinis to look forward to. I wonder what these would look like as sunglasses, but I don’t wonder that more than I feel anxious to try their other frames! I’ve been in talks with their Customer Service, and they said that they expect to have the Shelby back in stock by later this week. Now the question is… what color should I get them in?! Black Tortoise, Tortoise, or Brown Fade? And if those don’t work out, well then it’s on to the Tippi! One thing at a time, Mayette.

Charles D. King—the producer behind pivotal films like Fences, Mudbound and Sorry to Bother You—recently made a power move in the entertainment industry. According to Deadline, King’s media company MACRO has inked a first-look deal with Warner Bros.
King believes the partnership with Warner Bros. will be instrumental in helping people of color authentically bring their narratives to the big screen, the news outlet writes. One of the projects that King is currently working on through his production company is a film entitled Jesus Was My Homeboy, which is about the life story of Black Panther Party member Fred Hampton. Director Ryan Coogler and WB will work on the project as well. Actors Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya may star in the film.
Through the deal with Warner Bros., King wants to bring more stories like these to the forefront. “We are thrilled to join forces with Warner Bros. Pictures and their visionary leadership team whose bold choices have led to some of our industry’s most successful and impactful films,” said King in a statement, according to the news outlet. “This expertise, combined with WarnerMedia and AT&T’s global assets and distribution, offers MACRO an unparalleled opportunity to expand our reach and further our mission of identifying and producing authentic stories by and about people of color.”
The Warner Bros. leadership team is excited about working with MACRO. WB Production Head Courtenay Valenti and the studio’s chairman Toby Emmerich said that they are looking forward to producing films that “highlight the authenticity and importance of diversity.”
Black producers are landing major production deals. In January, actor Michael B. Jordan’s production company Outlier Society inked a first-look deal with Warner Bros. In February Marsai Martin signed a first-look deal with Universal through her company Genius Productions.

Its Gothic chapel was built in the 13th century with a single nave and equipped with a gallery from the late 16th century, and an apse decorated with frescoes from the 17th. At the end of the 16th century, the Trinitarian Order founded a monastery here. Several objects originating from the chapel are now preserved in the church at Mosset.
In 1989, the buildings were bought by Rosemary Bailey, a British writer, and her partner. Their restoration of the property featured in Bailey's book, Life in a Postcard - Escape to the French Pyrenees. They sold the property in 2006.
In 2000, Corbiac was listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. Corbiac is still a private house and not open to the public.

One randomized trial showed that tandem transplant resulted in a significantly longer EFS and OS in patients failing to achieve CR or near-CR with a single transplant. However, other studies failed to show benefit from a second transplant. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy in terms of response improvement and survival from a second transplant intensification in patients with chemosensitive disease who failed to achieve CR or near-CR with a first high-dose procedure. Patients diagnosed with MM from Oct 1999 to Dec 2004 younger than 70 years received 6 courses of VBMCP/VBAD and responding patients were intensified with busulphan/melphalan or MEL-200 followed by stem cell support. Patients not achieving CR or near-CR were planned to undergo a second transplant (second auto with CVB - cyclophosphamide, etoposide and BCNU or MEL-200 intensification or an allo-RIC with Fludarabine/MEL-140 conditioning, if sibling donor available). Eighty-eight patients received a second autologous transplant while 26 underwent an allo-RIC. Thirty-seven percent of the patients given a second autologous transplant improved their response status (CR 11%, near-CR: 6%, PR: 9% and MR 11%) while 63% showed no change, progressive disease or early death. A response was observed in 45% of patients undergoing the allo-RIC (CR: 33%, PR: 4%, MR: 8%). The CR rate was significantly higher with allo-RIC (33% vs. 11%, p= 0.02). There was a trend towards a higher TRM with the allo-RIC (5% vs. 16%, p=0.09). Although the median EFS (26 vs 19 m) and OS (57 m vs not reached in allo-RIC) from the second high-dose procedure were not significantly different, there is a plateau in the allo-RIC group beyond 3 years of the second procedure not observed in the autologous arm. Conclusions:1) an allo-RIC transplant after an autologous procedure results in a significantly higher CR rate than a second autologous transplant, and 2) despite the lack of significant differences in survival between the two transplant modalities, there is a plateau in the allogeneic group not observed in the autologous arm.

I've got a Maco Seventy-Five that's in mint condition. I've never found any amplifer that was quite as impressive as the Maco Seventy-Five for sheer AUDIO. It takes one 8950 Tube, that I thought used to be very expensive, but I'm starting to find some on the net that are reasonable.
I believe the input wattage for his amp to be around 4 watts and was driving it with my Eagle 2000 and shorted the tube which popped the 47uf capacitors undereneath the tube socket.
I'd really like to get this amp opertational again.
Anybody else out there running one?
Anybody got a schematic for it so I can repair?
Thanks a million!
|Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 8:38 pm: ||
I've got schematics for the Macos, I'll look that one up tomorrow and send it to you. I've had several of those one tubers and also the two tubers, they will make a meter swing. I doubt if it will take your eagle though. Thats an accident looking for a place to happen.
|Posted on Saturday, February 09, 2002 - 12:18 pm: ||
Yeah, the Eagle 2000 is what I shorted the tube with. From now on, I'll be using it with low-output radios like my Browning Mark III's and my Tram.

Contraction of Last and Bastard. Used to describe the person who leaves the empty roll on the paper holder, empty milk bag in the container etc. Lastards also do things like cramming one last thing in the trash rather than taking it out. In some families it also refers to the person who takes the last slice, chip, cookie etc when not everyone has had a first.
Who's the dirty lastard who took the last ice-cube without adding some water to the tray?!
by NevilRead February 01, 2012
1 more definition
The person who uses almost all of the milk in the bag, and does not replace it. The person who takes a coffee and leaves a very little coffee in the pot.
That lastard left the coffee pot almost empty.

[This post is re-blogged from Venus Patrol sister-organization JUEGOS RANCHEROS, our local Austin indie game collective.]
Want to spend your Thursday night wrestling a pitbull to the ground & high-fiving a pizza as you lose yourself in a ‘giddy apocalypse’? Then come join us this Thursday, October 2nd, at 7:00PM at Austin’s North Door as we present the local double-feature premiere of Kevin Cancienne’s local multiplayer dog-em-up Dog Park & Jane Friedhoff’s Slam City Oracles.
Developer Cancienne — also known for his design work on area/code’s early classic iPhone puzzle game Drop7 — has described Dog Park as “a fighting game without the fighting”, a four-‘person’ brawler where players choose their dog & score points for chasing, wrestling, cavorting & gamboling in perfectly-pitched canine fashion.
Various JUEGOS RANCHEROS organizers have also described it as “omg the best game ever”.
Already drawing a number of favorable comparisons to Katamari Damacy from sites like Kotaku for its cheerfully chaotic cartoony slapstick physicality, Oracles is a vertically-oriented game where two girls have four minutes to joyfully & wantonly break the entire world around them.
Both games were commissioned for the NYU Game Center’s No Quarter exhibition — the yearly local-multiplayer focused show which has spawned games like Nidhogg, Bara Bari Ball & Bennett Foddy’s Speed Chess — and were first debuted there September 19th, alongside Naomi Clark‘s consensual card game Consentacle and Corporate Vandals, a physical game from Shawn Allen, creator of Treachery in Beatdown City.
Both games will be making their local debut Thursday, October 2nd, at 7:00PM at North Door, 501 Brushy Street, Austin, TX 78702! The show is free and open to all the public, so come join us as we drink, play and meet the people changing the way we think about games!
One last event recommendation for the day: New Yorkers will get the chance to see Bennett Foddy — creator of QWOP, CLOP, GIRP, PoleRiders, bioethics professor & real actual ex-member of Cut Copy — speak this Friday, September 28th, at the NYU Game Center as part of their regular lecture series.
Foddy will be speaking on “high-level creative procedures for ideation, his iterative design process, and rules of thumb for solid creative process”, says the center, and will have a selection of his games available for public play following the talk, which will begin at 7PM. You can RSVP for the event here, and you definitely actually should, because Foddy’s as super keen a thinker and speaker as he is a game creator.

A Ku Klux Klan rally aimed at raising awareness against “illegal immigration and Muslims” in Anaheim, Calif. turned violent on Saturday (Feb. 27), the Los Angeles Times reports. Hours before the hate group was scheduled to gather, a group of counter-protesters showed up to the scene at around 11 a.m. As Klansman exited their SUV, donning Confederate flag patches, the counter-protesters, who were reportedly armed with two-by-fours, approached them.
The melee left three people stabbed and 13 people arrested. According to bystander accounts, the three stab victims were counter-protesters, one of whom was punctured with a flagpole by one of the Klansman. Martin Buenorostro, a friend of one of the men injured, stated that the Klansman also drew weapons in the confrontation. A Klansman was also reportedly heard saying he acted “in self-defense.”
“They started pulling out weapons,” he recalled. “One of them had the flag, the American flag, with the pointed top and I think that’s what got my friend. It’s a serious wound. It wasn’t like the blood was dripping out. It gushed out of him.”
According to Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, police presence was not on the scene in anticipation for any clashes, calling their delayed response the “longest few minutes.” The Anaheim Police Department took to its Facebook page on Friday (Feb. 26) to publicly share their knowledge of the upcoming rally.
“This group has held similar rallies throughout Orange County over the past few years,” the post reads. “Members of the sponsoring group typically pass out literature and hold signs with messages, which while controversial, are protected by the First Amendment. APD will be monitoring the situation for any violations of law.
Donald Trump recently received an endorsement from former KKK grand wizard, David Duke. The Klansman were arrested for the stabbings. All parties could face assault and assault with deadly weapons charges. Watch video from the scene below:

Actress and musician Hazel O’Connor, who rose to fame in the 1980s with hits such as Eighth Day and Will You? is recovering in hospital after suffering from a bleed on the brain.
The star of the 1980 punk musical Breaking Glass was found at her home in southwest France on Sunday and rushed to hospital after what her family described as a "serious medical event".
O’Connor, 66, was placed in an induced coma for 24 hours, but is now said to be responding to treatment.
Writing on social media her brother, Neil O’Connor, said she had already regained some of her "usual feistiness".
Mr O’Connor said: "On Sunday last, 9/01/2022, Hazel was discovered at her place in SW France and was found to have suffered a serious medical event.
"She was taken to her local hospital where it was determined that she’d had a bleeding on the brain and that she should be transferred to a major hospital where her condition could be more effectively monitored.
"On Sunday things were touch and go and the next 24 hours would determine how her recovery may go.
"She was put into an induced coma for about 24 hrs and brought out of it Monday evening and since then has been showing a lot of progress although, saying that, her recovery is going to take a while but she is tough and is responding to stimuli and to treatment.
"She’s receiving the best of care and I thank the French medical service there for taking such good care of her.
"So, please, all positive thoughts, vibes, intentions are appreciated.
"She’s going to need patience from us and from herself, I’ve already learned that she’s started to show her usual feistiness".
O’Connor was due to begin a new tour later this year, but that has now been postponed. Describing her as "fighter", the singer’s management team said: "No one knows what progress Hazel will make or when.
"You could be thinking, Hazel should not be doing any shows in the foreseeable future, well, yes, that could be the outcome, we just don’t know.
"We know Hazel is a fighter and we think she would like to know there are live shows coming up as something to work towards."

As a central technical building block, we devise the first structure-preserving signature scheme with a tight security reduction. (This signature scheme may be of independent interest.) Combining this scheme with Groth-Sahai proofs yields a tightly simulation-sound non-interactive zero-knowledge proof system for group equations. If we use this proof system in the Naor-Yung double encryption scheme, we obtain a tightly IND-CCA secure public-key encryption scheme from the Decision Linear assumption.
We point out that our techniques are not specific to public-key encryption security. Rather, we view our signature scheme and proof system as general building blocks that can help to achieve a tight security reduction.Category / Keywords: public-key cryptography / Tight security proofs, structure-preserving signatures, public-key encryption, Groth-Sahai proofs Original Publication (with major differences): IACR-CRYPTO-2012

When forming a business partnership - just like a marriage - there are certain key steps to take at the beginning that will help in the transition if your professional relationship should end.
As an entrepreneur, you may at some point consider getting a business partner or co-founder. Maybe you miss working with a larger team that complements your skills, or perhaps you are trying to broaden your market or expand your clientele.
Whatever your motive, you should know that business partnerships always start with excitement, but have the potential to end tumultuously.
Related: What you need to look for in business partnership agreements
1. Perform due diligence
Yes, everyone is fun over cocktails, but when the time comes to sign contracts and do business, you’d better be sober and confident you’re shaking the right hand. Asking for referrals about a potential partner goes beyond contacting common friends and asking their opinions.
Call former partners and business associates, inquire with clients, read comments on their social media pages and look them up on Google. (Keep reading way past page one of the search results.)
By the time you’re done, you should be able to name anyone who dislikes them - from their first high-school enemy to their latest unhappy client. Only then will you be able to either take a calculated risk or a major step back.
2. Make sure you lawyer up
If the legal fees in the beginning of a business relationship don’t make you wince, then you’re doing something wrong. When you partner with other people, every aspect of the business relationship should be put down in writing - including the goals for the company, duties and responsibilities of the partners and an exit strategy.
Every sentence of a contract - no matter how innocuous - should be looked at by a lawyer. Since tax laws can be tricky, have your accounts receivable/payable arrangements scrutinised by an accountant.
3. Ensure you have exit strategy
Ending your business partnership is the last thing you want to think about when you are beginning one. It is similar to thinking about divorce on your wedding day, but you should have a plan.
The business exit strategy should include several legal points including the division of the business assets and how the partner's portion of the business will be handled in case of death.
4. Protect yourself
One of the smartest moves you can make is to protect your personal assets in case of a lawsuit. Whether you choose to incorporate or become an LLC, the top benefit will be shielding your savings, home, car and even your favourite pair of Louboutins from any liabilities associated with the business.

5. Protect your brand
Joining forces with a partner takes a lot of energy, and chances are that somewhere down the line you will lose your focus. Working for a common goal within a new team is really exciting but merging forces does not necessarily mean merging identities.
Don’t lose sight of who you are. If part of the original business plan is to maintain your brand, make sure it doesn’t suffer while you’re giving all your time and energy to your new endeavour.
When you meet a potential partner, your personalities may click and your goals may be identical but to have a successful relationship, clarity is key.
The more precautions you take in the beginning, the happier and more productive you will be later on. And the day you see that the team you’ve tried to build has become nothing more that a group of people looking in different directions, then it’s time to part ways and move on.
Business partnership check list
Every business needs a good mix of talent and abilities. It's great to find a partner whose skills complement yours, but be sure to put your agreement down in writing. As in all relationships, transparency is critical.

They ain’t afraid of no ghost.
Three parapsychologists forced out of their university funding set up shop as a unique ghost removal service in New York City, attracting frightened yet skeptical customers.
Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis as, respectively, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler, a trio of eccentric parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis, and features Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Ernie Hudson in supporting roles.
Based on his own fascination with spirituality, Aykroyd conceived Ghostbusters as a project for himself and John Belushi. The protagonists would travel through time and space to combat a host of demonic and supernatural threats. Following Belushi’s death, and with Aykroyd’s concept deemed financially impractical, he was paired with Ramis to rewrite the script to set it in New York City and make it more realistic. Ghostbusters was the first comedy film to employ expensive special effects. There was concern about the budget it would require, and little faith in its potential for box office success. On an approximate $25–30 million budget, filming took place between October 1983 to January 1984, on location in New York City and Los Angeles, and on sets at Burbank Studios, Los Angeles. Competition for special effects studios among various movies in development at the time meant that part of the budget was used to co-found a new studio under Richard Edlund. He used a combination of practical effects, miniatures, and puppets to deliver the ghoulish visuals.
Ghostbusters was released on June 8, 1984, to critical acclaim and became a cultural phenomenon. It was well received for its deft blend of comedy, action, and horror, and Murray’s performance was repeatedly singled out for praise. The film earned $282.2 million during its initial theatrical run, making it the second-highest-grossing film of that year, and the highest-grossing comedy of all time at that point. It was the number-one film in theaters for seven consecutive weeks and was one of only four films to gross more than $100 million that year. Further theatrical releases have increased the total gross to approximately $295.7 million, making it the most successful comedy film of the 1980s. In 2015, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. Its theme song, “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr., was also a number-one hit.
With its impact on popular culture, and a dedicated fan following, the success of Ghostbusters launched a multi-billion dollar multimedia franchise. This includes the popular animated television series The Real Ghostbusters (which itself spawned a media franchise), its sequel series Extreme Ghostbusters, video games, board games, comic books, clothing, music, books, food, toys, collectables, and haunted attractions. Ghostbusters was followed in 1989 by a sequel, Ghostbusters II, which fared less well financially and critically. Repeated attempts to develop a further sequel had ended following Ramis’s death in 2014. A 2016 reboot, also called Ghostbusters, was released to mixed reviews and financial failure. A second, direct sequel, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is scheduled for release in 2020.

When I think of a jungle, I imagine a happy place with abundant greenery, tigers roaming the underbrush and monkeys swinging through the massive trees on leafy vines. Obviously I’ve totally bought into the Disney jungle vision depicted in “Tarzan”.
I had thought all my imaginings of jungles to be far away from Chicago, thinking I would have to travel by land and sea before reaching one. Until, that is, I devoured Upton Sinclair’s groundbreaking novel The Jungle. I hate to even use the word “devour” when discussing this novel, since so much of it deals with contaminated meat, blue milk and inhumane conditions that completely quell any appetite.
The year is 1905, and immigrants scramble to Chicago to begin a new, better life with the promises of secure jobs and wealth within the Stockyards. Following Lithuanian immigrant Jurgis as he strives to support his new wife, son and her family, it is a true tale of survival that is hard to digest. From the gruesome work conditions to the utter squalor at home, this is a story based on a truth that was debilitating and deathly to many.
Jurgis begins as an optimistic young man, newly married and naive, yet physically and mentally strong. In the beginning he embraces his demanding life at the Stockyards, ignorant to the politics and corruption. As his awareness is raised, his life becomes harder. Through injury and circumstance, the family’s situation at home worsens, and food and heat are both harder to come by. While I’m not a fan of Chicago Winters (you should all know how desperately I’m waiting for spring!), I’ve never had to worry about freezing to death stuck in a snowdrift, literally having my ears break off from the cold (poor little Stansilova) or freezing in my sleep.
More than just a bleak story of one poor family, it is a political piece looking at work conditions and the quality of meat packaged for the United States. Sinclair actually went undercover in Packingtown as the Stockyards were called, so experienced the conditions of the workers and the meat first hand.
“It seemed that they must have agencies all over the country, to hunt out old and crippled and diseased cattle to be canned. (they would come in) Covered with boils. It was a nasty job killing these, for when you plunged the knife into them they would burst and splash foul-smelling stuff into your face… It was stuff such as this that made the ’embalmed beef’ that had killed several times as many United States soldiers as all the bullets of the Spaniards…”
In addition to the spoiled meat, Sinclair tells about workers falling into vats, and when they were discovered all that was left of the human is a pile of bones, since every other body part had gone out packaged as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard (as in, human parts consumed by other people). Minor injuries often meant death, directly or indirectly through blood disease or no money to buy food. Never have I appreciated health insurance so much.
As I read this book I questioned if I would have been strong enough to have survived in this time period. The life depicted is so tough I was depressed while reading it. It seemed to me the people had very little to live for. There was no end in sight to their squalor; they weren’t working to get ahead and have time to relax and enjoy their effort, they were working to stay alive. There as no real home life to speak of, as they were so exhausted from working so long with little nourishment people climbed right into bed upon walking in the door. As a parent, it’s hard to feel right about sending your child to work the streets or in the factories, knowing they don’t have a future but you need their meager contributions to keep the family alive. My mom says hope springs eternal, and throughout this book I’m inclined to agree.
I think everyone should read this book. I wouldn’t even say it’s inspirational exactly, but more a realistic view at how life could be, and how it has been for people in the past and how far we’ve come. It also may make you chuckle at how germaphobic a society we’ve become, since people survived (of course, many did not) on spoiled milk and infected meat. I made a point to eat my asparagus that fell off the side of my plate onto the coffee table today, telling myself it will only toughen me up!
My main complaint is the Socialist rally cry that takes up the last few chapters of this novel. I understand Sinclair considered himself a Socialist, but I thought the political propaganda could have been discarded and a very strong novel would have remained without any stated biases. Just be sure to not eat canned meat when reading! Good news though: this book inspired the Pure Food Act passed in 1906, shortly after the book became a success after it’s book publication in February of the same year.

Carlos Fischer - Refrigerated Vessel
Built to carry up to 37,000t of fresh and concentrated orange juice in bulk tanks, the Carlos Fischer is owned by the Brazilian company Aleuropa, part of Grupo Fischer. This is the first of two sister ships and Kleven Florø delivered the second juice carrier, Premium do Brasil, in October 2004.
The Carlos Fischer is 204.85m long overall, with a length between perpendiculars of 194.25m, a moulded breadth of 32.2m, a moulded depth of 19.2m, a scantling draught of 11.4m and a normal operating draught of about 9.5m.
It is not classed as a tanker, however it is effectively a four-hold refrigerated ship, each hold having four vertical freestanding cylindrical fruit juice tanks. Tanks in the aftermost hold are reserved for natural orange juice which is carried at a nominal 0ºC. 12 tanks out of the total 16, that is those located in the forward three holds, can carry either natural juice or concentrated juice.
The concentrate is loaded and transported at -10ºC and has the consistency of a gruel. Pumping and piping systems are complex and all surfaces in contact with the juice cargo have to be kept in an aseptic condition.
The vessel has accommodation for 30 people. A trim room and a sizeable swimming pool cater for the crew's recreation and fitness.
The bottom of each tank slopes to a definite lower point while the top is slightly conical. Pipe work is connected to the lowest point to ensure that the tanks can be completely drained, while at the top of each tank is a radar tank level gauging system, nitrogen pipes and temperature sensors.
The free-standing tanks have air space all around them. They stand on cylindrical pillars and near the top are braced sideways by girders which also form part of the walkway and ladder system. The boundaries of the holds are insulated using a panel system made up from polyurethane foam slab with a galvanised steel protective jacket on one side and a polished aluminium facing towards the hold. In three of the cargo holds the tanks are arranged with two either side of the centre line.
The refrigerating system is supplied by York and uses ammonia in the primary circuit and brine in the secondary. Three electrically-driven refrigerant compressors are installed in the deckhouse. Brine from the evaporator room circulates through heat exchangers in each hold where large fans lead air to all parts of the insulated holds through strategically placed ductwork.
A service speed of 20.8 knots was specified with the main engine operating at 94% of MCR including a 5% sea margin and a nominal 1,200kW output from the shaft generator. Power is supplied by a Wärtsilä Sulzer 7RTA 84C main engine giving 38,570bhp at 102rpm. It turns a 7.5m dia. Kamewa Ulstein controllable pitch propeller and a Flender gearbox on the intermediate shaft provides power take-off for a 2,000kW ABB shaft generator.
A Becker flap rudder with Frydenbø steering gear provides the main manoeuvring capacity, assisted by a Kamewa Ulstein tunnel bow thruster.
Navigation and communications
Integrated bridge navigation systems were provided by Litton Systems. These include X- and S-band ARPA 340 radars, a Vision 2100 voyage management system, ECDIS planning station, Leica MX420/2 DGPS system, Litton gyrocompass, autopilot, rudder indicator, magnetic compass and electromagnetic speed log from C.Plath, Skipper echo sounder, Taiyo weatherfax, Furuno Navtex, DEIF watch and unfitness alarm system. Communications include a GMDSS Area 3 system, Sailor Inmarsat C, Nera Saturn B and Sperry/Sailor VHFs.
Mooring, survival and materials handling
The Carlos Fischer is equipped with a 30 person free fall lifeboat launching over the transom stern. This lifeboat with its associated davits system and a man overboard boat are from Schat-Harding. Pusnes electrically driven winches and anchor windlasses cover the ship's mooring requirements while hose handling and general stores transfer is taken care of by Normarine cranes on the deckhouse roof and alongside the funnel on the starboard side
The vessel is classed by Germanischer Lloyd with notation +100A5 fruit juice carrier +MC, AUT, KAZ, NAV-OC, IW.

Mark Helfrich, you have just wrapped up your first recruiting class as a head coach. What are you going to do next?
Go back to work.
Helfrich, in his first season after being promoted from offensive coordinator to replace Chip Kelly, had the difficult task of keeping together Kelly’s class with a little more than two weeks to spare.
Helfrich’s efforts to give Oregon one of the nation’s top recruit classes was met with many challenges. The main challenges came from Ohio State’s Urban Meyer—one of the best recruiters in all of college sports—trying to flip four of Oregon’s top commits in Dontre Wilson, Darren Carrington and the dynamic duo of twins Tyree and Tyrell Robinson.
The last minute heroics from Helfrich resulted in the Ducks having the nation’s No. 26 rated class according to ESPN.
Helfrich and his staff did a wonderful job in getting 19 kids to sign national letters of intent with the Ducks, all of whom will solidify Oregon’s standing as one of the nation’s top teams.
Across the board, you can see a plethora of talented skill players and, most importantly, physical defenders and linemen to aid in the Duck’s struggle against SEC teams.
Here are the top signees from the 2013 class. For the full scoop on all 19 signees, click on the link above.
- Joe Walker- LB (JUCO)
- Thomas Tyner- RB
- Tyree Robinson- WR
- Cameron Hunt- OL
- Evan Voeller- OL
- Matt Wogan- K
- Torrodney Prevot- DE
- Johnny Mattingly- LB
1. Dontre Wilson’s decommitment:
Wilson was an Oregon commit since May of 2012, but a last minute push from Urban Meyer and Ohio State caused the Ducks to lose one of their top prospects.
Many thought that Oregon would be able to keep Wilson after his comments following the Fiesta Bowl, and De’Anthony Thomas success at a position many assumed Wilson would be filling within the next few seasons.
2. Johnny Ragin III Sticking with Cal:
It was Ragin's dream to play for Oregon, which makes it odd that he chose to stick with Cal.
Hats off to Ragin for sticking to his commitment to the Golden Bears. Cal is a great school and program, and I wish him nothing but the best of luck in his career, but many are still surprised that he chose to not play for his dream school.
3. Damion Hobbs’ Signing:
Hobbs is a great athlete who had a successful high school career, but his recruitment by Helfrich and his staff is still a little odd to me. Oregon will have a redshirt sophomore starting at quarterback in 2013 and two sophomores as backups.
After Bryan Bennett’s transfer, I would have thought it a better idea to try and get a signature from Tanner McEvoy, a JUCO quarterback who would have given the Ducks a more experienced backup. McEvoy signed with Wisconsin.
4. Torrodney Prevot Flip:
Prevot came out of nowhere when he announced that he was signing with the Ducks. Helfrich and his staff were not only able to get Prevot, the No. 19 DE in the country, to decommit from USC, but they were also able to fight off Texas A&M at the same time.
Overall, Oregon was able to sign a class fitting of the No. 26 ranking in the nation. The Ducks filled their needs at linebacker and offensive line, while also signing some great offensive skill players at the same time.
Tyner is without a doubt the headline of this class, but don’t sleep on guys like Danny Mattingly or Juwaan Williams.
I would have liked to have seen more ESPN 150 recruits, and the loss of Wilson definitely hurt this class ranking.

"Jazziz" May 1990
Excerpts from a story published in the May 1990 issue of "Jazziz" magazine (USA) by Mark Holston
An evening rain shower is pelting Copacabana as I slide into the back seat of jazz critic Arnaldo DeSouteiro's late-model Chevy for a visit to the popular jazz club "People" in neighboring Leblon. A cassette of one of singer Joao Gilberto's late-70s recordings supplies an appropriate mood as Arnaldo, his lovely attorney wife Carol, and I zip through the glistening, neon-accented streets. This is one of those nights when low clouds obscure all but the summits of Sugar Loaf and Corcovado, giving Rio a mystical air. No wonder they call the place "Cidade Maravilhosa" - the marvelous city.
Arnaldo writes about jazz and Brazilian music for the Rio daily, Tribuna da Imprensa. He's the kind of guy who will offer up stimulating arguments on just about anything in jazzdom, from the validity of pianist Bud Powell's early '50s trios to the woes that beset some of his country's best improvisational artists. He also has strong opinions about the kind of Brazilian music that is too often heard in the States.
"Some of the albums produced there may be very well done by great musicians," Arnaldo says, "but the sound is not the real Brazilian sound - it's just fusion made by Brazilians." The writer also notes that, despite a flood of recordings in the U.S. by more contemporary musicians, American perceptions of his country's music remains shaped by the bossa nova revolution of the mid-1960s. "I'm almost sure that when people hear the new stuff, they are a little disappointed," he comments. Not because it's not good, but because it's completely different from what they expect. And I don't see any of the recordings by the new artists going to the top of the charts, as it used to happen."
... "It's sad that Brazilians didn't listen to Nara (Leao) very much in the last years of her career," Arnaldo DeSouteiro laments. Carol, Arnaldo, and I are now in "People" catching a set by pianist Joao Donato's trio. The famous composer/arranger/guitarist Dori Caymmi, a table companion, also decries the fickle nature of his country's record producers, radio programmers, and public. We can only hope that, in the U.S., the current media interest in sounds from Brazil is more than just another fad.

A couple sits across from me on the Daegu subway, playing on their mobile phones. The woman' s clothes are typical Korean weekend-wear; sneakers, jeans, a green sweatshirt with an English slogan not quite suited to clothing (in this case, "Creative Director Style," with a picture of a telephone). She has an orange scarf, a black baseball cap ( "Helmet Game "), and a brown leather shoulderbag. Altogether, the outfit is quite average. However, the boyfriend beside her, without a hint of self-consciousness, is wearing the same thing. Exactly the same thing. The same sneakers, same jeans, same telephone shirt and " Helmet Game" hat, same scarf, and as icing on my this-sure-isn't-Canada cake, the same brown leather purse.
Now I think Korean fashion is altogether quite exciting. The painful high heels, the unapologetic use of rhinestones, the aforementioned English slogans; I think it works. Even the men with their purses are fine by me. But in a country with an anything-goes fashion sense, the one trend I can't quite digest is the one displayed here on the subway; the Couple Clothes phenomenon.
Rest assured, this subway sighting was no rarity. Every weekend in every Korean city, couples shop, dine, see movies, get coffees, all in matching outfits. I had to ask some Koreans about this trend. After all, back in Canada, no one dresses alike except twins or siblings, often under the hand of a zealous Mum during family photo sittings. But the feedback is unanimous. According to Koreans, this trend is "so cute!" Period. In a culture where couples rarely kiss or show affection in public, matching outfits are a non-offensive demonstration of a couple's commitment.
But the eye-rolling cynic in me isn't convinced. "You don't think it's too much? Maybe, a little too cute? " I ask my Korean friends. I try to imagine my couple friends in Canada, joining me for lunch in matching outfits. Even the mental image makes me shiver with discomfort. But the Koreans just smile at my skepticism. "They want to show the world they love each other. You don 't think that 's sweet?"
When I get off the subway, my couple-clothed seatmates stand up too, staring into each others ' eyes through similar thick-framed eyeglasses. The man gallantly takes his girlfriend 's purse, so that he 's now carrying two identical handbags on his shoulder. I admit, they are sweet with each other. Maybe this trend is like the rhinestones. Or the strange English slogans. Or the white leather boots I bought in a Korean mall and quickly regretted. While cute couples are universal, perhaps couple clothing is a concept that only works in Korea.
When I was a student on backpacking trips to Europe, drinking Fanta was a tiny ritual that fit my budget nicely. While most Europeans probably grew up on the stuff, my first tastes of Fanta were during these epiphanous first tastes of travel. I drank it while picnicking along the Seine, exploring Dover castle, watching canalboats in Amsterdam.
Of course, on these trips, I drank other things too. Loads, if I recall correctly. But amidst beers and wines and coffees, Fanta was the newest to my palette. Though the drink is as ubiquitous as juice on every continent, it is virtually unknown in my native Canada.
Tastes are often associated with memory. It's why we crave our mothers' cooking when we're sick. It's why everyone loves birthday cake. For me, Fanta evokes that giddy far-from-home feling, of backpacks and passports and guidebooks. It represents the amiable broken-English chats with absolutely anyone who will chat back. It represents eating cheap picnic lunches on the steps of pricey museums to balance out the funds for the day. For me, Fanta represents adventure; a symbol of the world beyond Canada, of flying away from the familiar and into the throes of the unknown.
Of course, I've gotten older. I've traveled further than Western Europe, and I've lost a bit of tolerance for shabby hostels and cocky gap-year Australians. But wherever I go, I always track down Fanta in these new destinations, and for tradition's sake, I always make sure to imbibe.
I was traveling with a friend in China when I became briefly enamoured with green apple Fanta; a local flavour that was as new to my palette as peking duck. M friend and I had travelled and consumed Fanta together on three continents so far, and had spent many a long bus ride singing the drink's praises. On one ambling walk through Beijing, we cooked up the idea of a Fanta-finding website. People could research the local Fanta flavours of travel destinations around the world. Had this site existed (and not just in the imaginary realm), we would have known that China also sells beetroot and orange-mint Fantas, and that an intriguing toffee-flavoured variety was sold in Taiwan, mere kilometres away.
Fanta flavours, after all, can give us a glimpse into the local palette. Who but the most popular fruits and flavours get idolized into soft drink form? Plum and lychee Fantas are sold in Japan. A handful of Scandinavian countries sell elderflower Fanta; Mexico boasts a tamarind-flavoured option; Grenada sells banana Fanta, and lucky Romanians can sip a seasonal cinnamon-rum Christmas Fanta.
In Thailand, two regional Fantas are so locally-targeted, their names don't translate. Simply, they are "green soda," based on a popular Thai jelly, and "red soda," flavoured like the homegrown sala fruit. Visitors to Thailand will see open bottles of the drink on Buddhist altars outside people's homes. Of course, this is not a worship of Fanta itself, but a gesture of Buddhist faith. The red soda variety is a known favourite of the King of Thailand, and bottles of the drink are now used in religious offerings as a nod to His Majesty.
It's local facts like these which have me happily maintaining my Fanta-drinking tradition. While the new flavours are exciting to try, my taste for Fanta is as symbolic as it is literal. To drink Fanta is to drink abroad, and for me, these travels can be as addictive as any sugary indulgence.
The fake innocence rules in Japan. And it has become a must on the national identity cocktail. Characters with sweet and childish features, impossible drawings and messages more likely to the ones that are about to start their adult life, splash this asiatic country everyday´s life. The sociologists scratch their heads while they design new theories. In order to explain the invasive movement of an style which has been limitated by Otaku´s culture.
The japanese society is living now a moment of discontent, and economy is to blame. Furthermore, its culture´s been progressively affected by the impossibility of accepting a social present unimaginable years ago. “Cuteness” has arised then, as another exportable fact of a culture really stuck on traditional ways.
In this “Cuteness invasion” there is a bunch of teenagers, half women half girls, that consume loads of j-pop, otaku products and clothes. Waiting at the malls doors, they slightly fix their eyes in trendy things while murmuring “kawaii” (how cute!). Keep this funny word in mind, as every wannabe and trendy western mag is using it.
In the 90s Takashi Murakami started his own Kawaii crusader. This japanese artist (yep, the one designing Louise Vuitton bags and fascinating the Americans) decided to create a Pop´s Dream for himself on a Warhol´s way. His creations are cute and somehow weird. He´s been working with traditional technics while keeping and eye on marketing and futuristic creatures. The japanese subculture mixed at last with the old ways. Following his idol, he created “Kaikai Kiki” (first started as Hiropon Factory). A massive “atelier” for young japanese artists and market cute supplies. In the meantime, he fixed as well the settings of a new style: “ the superflat” (clean, with a good quality and of course… flat).
It happens sometimes that the pupil overcomes the master. And there we have Aya Takano, a new target in the visual arts worldwide. This japanese pop artist born in 1.976 is conquering the arty spectrum with her subversive femenine vision and her science fiction moto. She´s been influenced by otaku culture, shiny and futuristic worlds, “girl´s photography”, japanese images and Italian Quattrocento. Her teenagers live in onanist bubbles. These heroines are always painted in ink and acrylics to get a soft and dreamy look. Her works appear to be simple but they hide a pretty virtuosism taken from her comic author side. In fact in her country she is better known for her comic works, whereas in old Europe she is considered an artist.

It is funny how she takes some bits from artists like Hokusai or traditional styles like “Ukiyo-e” (pictures of the floating world). Toulouse Lautrec, Van Gogh and loads of other renown artists focused on this bizarre technics. So what´s wrong with a XXIth girl artist working on them?
Uh! Yes! I can´t help it… art critics I´m pointing at you!
In the late 50s a telephone box was located in Mojave Dessert. It was really isolated, about 15 miles from the nearest highway. Miners had it just in case something happened. Weird. Loads of films, short stories and songs are related to this dusty piece of land. So it was about time someone noticed the decrepit phone box. In the 90s it became a pilgrimage place. During years loads of people phoned there and talked to strangers about the weather, about their lives or miseries. It doesn´t exist anymore.
Being creative involves fascination for little but powerful universes as the Mojave´s telephone box. “Appropriationism” say the art writers.
At the very beginning of the year I went to Paris with one purpose in mind: follow the traces left on the city by the French artist Sophie Calle. I was working on her artworks for my PhD so I got really excited about the fact of poking around her new stuff.
Calle was ruminating for some time about Mojave´s mistery phone. So she decided to create with a little help of her friend F.Gehry a telephone box in the middle of a bridge on a dessert area of Paris. She is the only one knowing the telephone number and she calls five times a week in order to try to speak to strangers.This will last two more years…
Critics are still roaring. This installation belongs to a Public Art Project to promote a new tram on a quite abandoned area of Paris. Money, money. Who is going to be wandering around the phone box at night? And what about mornings, when everybody is supposed to be working?
When I got of the train all I could see was a bright isolated shape in the middle of one of the ugliest bridges I´ve ever seen. Getting closer I got dissapointed because of the colours and materials. Once there I phewww… It was fantastic. Lots of messages, stickers, telephone numbers… The project was alive. And furthermore, people (from around the world) were absolutely respectful with the artist´s ways. So their words had the resonance of Calle´s and their anonimity, a little bit of her voyeuristic nuances.
“Le téléphone” is a lively sculpture. Nobody knows what are all the registered conversations about. Maybe she´s not even calling. Who Knows. Madmoiselle Calle is slick as hell and tricky. I should close this post in a different way. But I prefer to leave it like it is now. This was just an excuse to talk a little bit about Calle and to show the pics I took there.
I had been in Korea for six weeks on the morning the sirens went off. I had just stepped out of the shower, and the sound rang through me like a punch to the stomach.
I scurried around the apartment in a blur, pulling on clothes. As I pulled my shoes on, I pondered the chances of a misunderstanding. Maybe the noise was simply a neighbour's new ringtone. Maybe the siren noises were a sound test before a Korean boyband took the stage at an outdoor concert. Outside my apartment building on a Tuesday morning. It could happen, right?
Regardless, I had no clue what to do. I wasn’t just worried, but in a foreign country, I was completely helpless. And this was a new feeling.
When I arrived in Korea to teach English, I had been pretty confident that I would take to the lifestyle. I had been determined, as every newcomer must be, to explore and be educated in these new surroundings.
But six weeks in, my routine was carved out. True, I still didn't know much of the city's geography, I couldn't identify half the vegetables in my daily rice roll, and 99% of the Korean language remained a mystery. But I could navigate the subway, sing along to Korea's current #1 pop song, and remember my students' names. And this seemed fine; fantastically comfortable. Sometimes, I even had the audacity to be bored.
But that morning as I left my apartment, something was wrong. My 6-lane street, which normally bustles day and night with traffic, was empty. And I mean last-woman-in-the-world empty. The street vendors weren't crowded with hungry students. There were no businessmen sipping energy drinks outside the 7-Elevens. No one was outside the hospital in wheelchairs and crutches, smoking cigarettes. Empty.
I assumed, as anyone would during a South Korean air raid, that the north was attacking. That the nuclear bombs were on their way. That everyone I knew had cleverly evacuated and forgotten to send me a text message. In retrospect, this may have been a dramatic assumption, but my imagination was shaped by North American paranoia. At that moment, nuclear attack was the logical conclusion. My only thought was to run to work, where perhaps they had fashioned a bomb shelter out of the spare classroom.
In the elevator, I clutched my cellphone and scripted the goodbye phone call I would soon make to my parents. I was torn between falsely assuring (“I'm sure I can hop a plane out of here – I'll call once I'm back in the western hemisphere!”), or straight-up hysterical (“thank you for believing in me!”).
I dashed down the hallway and into the school, the wail of sirens still creeping in through the open windows. Inside, our receptionist was making photocopies. Calmly. Huh?
Still gripping my phone, I burst into the head teacher's office. He was at his desk, writing something in his dayplanner. Calmly. Huh? He looked up as I wheezed out questions.
He simply nodded and smiled, as though deciding that my panic was endearing.
“It is....” he paused to search his mind for the English word. I held my breath. “...a drill. Emergency drill. Practice.”
After I caught my breath, I took note of the lessons learned from that stressful morning.
1) Koreans are damn good at drills. How did they clear the streets so quickly? Never again will I moan through a fire drill because I can’t take the elevator.
2) Though I’ve established a routine here, that doesn’t make Korea any more familiar or predictable.
Though I can sense a new grey hair or two from the stress, that panic was a nice wake-up call. When I see Koreans playing on their cellphones, holding hands with their boyfriends, sipping their Starbucks, it’s easy to forget that the culture is foreign from my own. When there’s so much to learn, settling for a routine is like wading the shallowest end of the expat experience. And why travel halfway around the world just to settle? At the very least, I’ll come out with more stories like this one.

The story told to police by the mother of a missing 2-year-old "doesn't add up" and is strikingly similar to an episode of "Law and Order" that aired the day before the child disappeared, police said.
Julia Biryukova, mother of the missing child, has declined to take a polygraph test.
Biryukova has told detectives in Bellevue, Wash., she was driving her two children to Overlake Hospital Medical Center Sunday morning because her youngest child, Sky Metalwala, wasn't feeling well. She said she ran out of gas on 112th Avenue, so she and her 4-year-old daughter trekked about a mile to a nearby gas station leaving Sky in the car.
When she returned to her car, the child was gone, she told police.
Today Bellevue police Maj. Mike Johnson said police will continue their "mechanical inspection" of Biryukova's silver Acura which is housed in a secure vehicle lab.
"Julia's told us that she had difficulties with her car, she's told us that it ran out of gas, she told us that it wasn't running right, so we just want to check all of that out and see how it adds up," he said. "Eventually I expect the detectives will tell me that they want to set up another interview with Julia."
Although Biryukova did walk to the Northtowne Chevron Service on Sunday she never bought gas there, police said. Instead, she spent time walking around a wealthy neighborhood where she reportedly didn't ask anyone for help, according to the cops.
When detectives checked to see how much gas was left in her car, they found enough for her to have continued driving. Today investigators plan to drive her car, to see if it has any mechanical problems that would have forced her to leave it on the side of the road.
Police said that after Biryukova visited the gas station she called a friend who picked her up and took her back to her two-door silver Acura, where they allegedly discovered the boy was missing.
"The story doesn't add up, the whereabouts of Sky are unknown, the mother's story is falling apart, day to day," said Johnson Wednesday.
Her account bears a chilling resemblance to an episode of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" that aired last Saturday, the day before Sky vanished.
The episode, which police say is "strikingly similar in nature" to Biryukova's story, centered around a mother who tries to cover up the death of her child by saying he was taken from her car.
Sky's father Solomon Metalwala has agreed to take two polygraph tests, but Biryukova has refused to be tested, telling investigators that she has been too disturbed to participate.
"To be quite honest, that looks suspicious and we're puzzled by that," said Johnson.
Biryukova's lawyer declined to comment to ABC News.
Biryukova and her husband have been locked in a difficult custody battle. A judge recently denied Metalwala custody of the couple's 4-year-old but granted him limited supervised visits with his daughter.
Biryukova, however, is not permitted to have contact with her daughter who will remain in foster care until the next hearing on Dec. 5.
The couple's troubled history includes a citation for leaving Sky alone in a parked car at a Target parking lot in 2009, and angry accusations hurled at each other during their divorce proceedings.
According to the Associated Press, divorce papers say Biryukova had "severe" obsessive-compulsive disorder accompanied by 10-hour cleaning binges during which she would neglect her children. A doctor, however, testified that she was still able to care for her kids.
Police are asking the public for tips about Sky's disappearance and are offering a reward up to $1,000 for helpful information.
"We have been challenged to try to find evidence and facts to support Julia's story," Johnson said. "We want to believe Julia, we want to help her find her missing child, and we want her cooperation to do that. And at this point, the information she has given us has been problematic and has created more questions than answers."
Sky is half Indian and half Caucasian, with brown eyes and dark buzz-cut hair. He was last seen wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt with blue and gray striped Carter's pants.
Anyone who sees a child matching this description is asked to call 911 immediately. Police are urging anyone who might have traveled along 112th Ave N.E., between I-520 and NE 24th Ave N.E., Sunday morning between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to call Bellevue, Wash., police at 425-452-2564 or email email@example.com.

Position your company to provide solutions for your clients’ hiring needs. Become the go-to source so that your clients see that you have their best interests at heart. With unemployment at an all-time low, there is tremendous competition for labor. This condition is not likely to change any time soon, given a continued healthy and growing economy and key trends in the workplace. These workplace trends are in the direction of contract jobs, flex-time jobs, “gig” engagements, and other non-traditional arrangements. The up-coming presidential election is an additional complicating factor with may cause a significant number of firms to defer direct hire placements because of political uncertainty. The effect of these elements is to increase temp and contract placements to provide staff to keep businesses going.
Just posting a job opening is not going to be enough to be productive in the face of these trends. To ease the pain, more effort will be required to keep up with clients’ labor requirements. Get set up to offer temp and contract placements as a means of satisfying clients’ labor needs if direct hires are not available or if your client’s strategy is to defer them until after the presidential election. Finding a short-term labor solution for your client will enable them to continue their operations unimpeded at minimum risk. Finding the optimal direct hire often takes significant time, and the time required may lengthen in the face of the current trends. Temp and contract placements can fill the void and may even result in a good fit for a direct hire. A beneficial side-effect of the vetting process for direct hires is that you will develop an inventory of potential temp or contract candidates. Keep these candidates in mind and propose them when appropriate as surrogates or provisional workers. You will earn an income stream throughout the assignment duration and earn a conversion fee should the temp or contract hire go direct.
Your relationship with your client is critical to your continued success and you can cement that relationship by offering a spectrum of solutions for their labor needs. Being prepared to furnish them with candidates via direct hire, or contract, or temp-to-hire will enable you to be there first, ahead of the competition. You will establish yourself as the go-to source for solutions. Once established in this positive role, inertia, and providing a valuable service, will help ensure that the client will be coming back to you for their hiring needs. Keep in mind that if you don’t provide this service, your competition will!
You can prepare yourself now by having a contract in place which includes temp and contract as well as temp-to-hire options as a supplement to your direct hire offerings. With a back-office provider, you can be ready to provide these services immediately, if you are set up in advance and can be in POSITION FOR SOLUTIONS.

Brake peddle goes to the floor every now and then but I
still got brakes some what then again when I pump them
before I mash the brakes the are good
Please help ?
Could be a bad master cylinder or air in the brake lines requiring them to be bled. If there is air in the brake fluid you likely have a leak somewhere. I would take it to someone that has experience in repairing brakes before you have an accident.

During “Less Screen” week, Carson was snooping around in our bedroom and found two HUGE three-ring-binders under our bed. One was full of baseball cards, the other full of basketball cards. They are from Trent’s childhood and part of the traditional, coming of age “you finally have your own house so now you have to take your childhood junk out of mine” booty that we were given by my in laws several years ago. Hence–it’s valued under-the-bed location.
Well, within one of the notebooks, Carson came across a memento of Trent’s trip to the Washington DC area with his grandparents in 1989. He was eleven years old: Carson was extremely taken with this old ID tag. He decided to make himself look as much like little Daddy as possible. In fact, I had no idea he had discovered any of this stuff until he came out in an entirely new outfit. He had located the only white, collared shirt he owns (though slightly too small) and put it on. He also changed from jeans to khakis, because “I think that’s what he’s wearing on bottom.” He asked me to put a ribbon on the tag to make it a lanyard, and even tried to pose himself to look like Trent in the picture. The whole exercise was just TOO CUTE! It was a good reminder of the importance of a father/son relationship and just how much this little guy looks up to his Daddy.

Hemp can heal the world.
With human reliance on fossil fuels and synthetic fibers comes mass deforestation for wood pulp agriculture. If a single crop can provide a solution to the environmental destruction for resources, it’s certainly hemp. Hemp is a renewable natural resource that can be used to manufacturer thousands of different products, and when the plant is harvested almost every part of it can be put to use. Also, more uses for the hemp plant are being discovered every day. Although growing any crop as a monocrop is not particularly good for local diversity, hemp is the most environmentally friendly option due to requiring significantly fewer pesticides and providing much larger yields per hectare when compared to other crops, such as cotton.
The bread basket is made of 100% fine hemp fabric and has a double bag structure. When a heated pouch suffer with gain is placed in the inside pocket of the bag, it keeps the bread warm for the duration of the meal.

Update (5/3/16): While this story first ran in the fall, it has been updated with the most recent info we have on Captain America: Civil War. The movie has already been released in some international markets, but we have avoided spoilers in this update. Please do the same in the comments!
The reveal of promotional art from Captain America: Civil War -- thanks to Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner, who tweeted the images out -- has given us a good idea of which characters will be siding with Cap and which will be siding with Iron Man when the Marvel heroes go to war in the film.
But those images have also raised lots of questions. To help figure this all out, we've put together the following slideshows that take a closer look at each team and ponder why the characters might've chosen the side that they did. Let's start with the First Avenger's roster (click through for all the images):
Now let's check out Team Iron Man:
What do you guys think of these teams? Let's discuss in the comments!

Ok, then i spent hours scouring direct and chatting with the 'experts' from aquatic shops in our area for the many accessible for my new, larger, tropical fish tank- To begin on the Fluval Profile 1200 (stainless steel). I'd also considered the Fluval Roma 240 and Juwel Vision 450 but prefered the Fluval Profile 1200 because I preferred the contemporary shop for my newly decorated lounge area!!
Once it had become delivered and set up inside my living area (it looked fantastic by the way!) I produced decision which i may as well go fat hog and to have brand baby plants and decorations instead of recycle my old ones. The question which i have been confronted with was what 'look' decide on? Should I pick a natural looking tank and attempt and replicate my fish's environment from the wild with natural boundaries and realistic hiding places. Would my fish feel more secure within this environment and it could be healthier because of your?? Or, should I let my creative spirit loose and go just a little bit fanatical? Incorporate some unusual floral centrepieces? There are various weird and wonderful decorations around - children's cartoon characters which include Dora The Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Scooby Doo other people., pirate ships, cannons, underwater bridges, colourful skulls, pretend crocodiles, divers etc. along with. Need I go with?!?!?
After much consideration (actually it probably took about 2 minutes!!!) I made are likely to that I would adopt a clean, stylish, natural have a look. I'm sure my fish couldn't present you with a hoot buying and selling domains decorated my tank as long as they were fed and kept healthy but I told myself that the realistic environment would work well for them and help keeping their stress levels down (and as a result keep them healthier!) I shopped around and finished up getting a large amount of my decorations from Aquarium House - considering have a considerable array of some of the best decorations around. Also, if you manage a search via their search bar you can find some plants and decorations which aren't listed on their own product pages. I acquired quite a lot of of live plants as i prefer to oxygenate the water and remove some from the waste products, toxins and so. in as natural how as possible, obviously, may supported the quality filter (Fluval 405 External Filter) and air mattress pump! (Oase Oxytex CWS 2000 Aerator Set). I complimented safeguards with several Trixie Mopani Wood Roots as well as some Jura Stone Aquarium ornaments.
If you are in search of fish tanks for sale (corner fish tanks, marine fish tanks, Fluval fish tanks, Juwel aquariums are used to help.) or aquatic supplies, aquarium air pumps, aquarium heaters, aquarium lighting then I would personally strongly recommend Aquarium House for every one of your wants and needs. Compare and buy Tropical Fish Tanks, Marine Fish Tanks, Corner Fish Tanks, Fish Tanks For Sale and quality Aquatic Supplies from http://www.aquariumhouse.co.uk

This hairy goon (pictured on a boat) is running two ultramarathon trails in two months. The 45 KM (28 Mile) Downlands Challenge on August 18th and 50 KM (31 mile) Tring Ultra on 22nd September. Given the peng summer, I expect to collapse from heat exhaustion and sweat my own beard off.
Unlike baby Anxious (and her mother) I have access to world class health care and a hipster beard technician. So there’s no danger I won’t finish.
Anxious is a baby with a cyst in her eye. It’s very likely to get worse and damage her vision for life. Her mother can’t afford the operation she needs. Help me raise £200 to get her an operation. That’s all, £200.
Incidentally, I’m probably dumb enough to try to live stream from the races. Let’s see how that goes, call it a "bonus?", or proof, or something.
Thanks for reading, even if you can’t help.

Key learning outcomes
The Master’s Degree course in Finance and Risk Management was designed with the principal objective of training professionals expert in the management of financial products and portfolios, the analysis and management of banking and financial risk, and, more in general, of corporate economic risk, the management of financial institutions, and the analysis and management of insurance risk. Particular attention will be dedicated to management roles emerging in the sector of private pension, whose importance is increasing due to the planned reduction of public pension benefits. At the end of the course, Master’s Degree graduates will have mastered the principal themes in the financial area, in particular as regards financial markets and the formation of prices of financial and derivative instruments, the management of financial investments and the measurement and management of financial risk, management and legislation applied to financial intermediation, the management of capital value in financial intermediation, and the management of insurance risks. Master’s Degree graduates will have to be capable of applying this knowledge and these tools to practical work in markets and financial institutions. The professional skills acquired will be hallmarked by a combination of techniques from the major subject areas (corporate, mathematical-statistical, economics and juridical), including the international dimension.The academic syllabus is organized taking into account the fact that some roles in finance and risk management require considerable managerial knowledge, while in other roles it is necessary to be able to use quantitative analytical tools, in particular those supplied by mathematical finance.
With regard to the corporate area, the academic course comprises the following themes: financial analysis, corporate financial risk management, risk management and insurance, financial statements for financial intermediaries, and the relevant accounting principles, marketing and business strategies for financial services, applied finance, risk management and value creation in banks and investment banking, and real estate finance. As regards quantitative analysis, the following foundation areas are studied: risk management tools, techniques in insurance and life insurance, quantitative finance, computational and statistical methods applied to finance, asset-liability management (the latter is studied in an integrated approach, with mathematical and corporate methodologies). It is important to note that the study of subjects characteristic of the sectors SECS-P/11 and SECS-S/06 is approached from an integrated viewpoint, so that Master’s degree students possess knowledge of the most important linguistic areas for finance and risk management. As regards the Economics area, the course includes the study of macro-financial analytical and forecasting methodologies, along with the history of financial markets in order to extend the students’ cultural profile. Lastly, students learn concepts regarding law as applied to financial markets.The degree to which the course’s academic content corresponds to real necessities is constantly assessed with regard to scientific progress in the sectors of finance and risk management (and this is assured by the fact that the professors involved in teaching conduct their own research in these sectors), and by means of interaction with operators working on the market. The latter will specifically be invited to play an active part in academic activities, by means of seminars, personal experience descriptions, and case studies.
Potential employment opportunities for Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management include: savings management companies, supervisory authorities for the financial sector, financial rating companies; technical offices and planning offices in organizations and companies in the financial sector; consultancy in finance and life insurance, risk management in the corporate and insurance sectors; portfolio management, financial analysis services; and the financial management of industrial and commercial companies.
There are constant contacts with professionals in these fields in order to verify the correspondence between the course syllabus and the professional profile required by the market.
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management will have acquired specialist and interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of risk management, and in particular financial and insurance risk. They will have developed a profound mastery of theoretical concepts and practical tools in the subject areas of economics for financial intermediaries and mathematics as applied to finance. More specifically, Master’s Degree graduates:
- understand and are capable of applying mathematical calculation tools to the economics of financial products and markets, and to the areas of finance and insurance in general;
- learn specialist knowledge of corporate risk analysis models utilized by operators in banking, finance and insurance;
- progressively improve their knowledge of themes in economics, acquiring skills in the instruments necessary for analytical processes in financial markets, and for assessing financial forecasts;
- acquire juridical knowledge in the area of financial contracts;
- are capable of defining the decision models typical of players on financial markets;
- are capable of contributing to the determination of management processes typical of the various categories of financial intermediation;
- can contribute to the assessment of company financial structures, and to activities concerning relations with supervisory authorities and the organizations responsible for the regulation of intermediaries and markets.
The academic process comprises frontal lessons, the discussion of case studies, exercises, and meetings with operators from the financial sector, which will enable Master’s Degree students to acquire the knowledge required, and to apply it to the practical reality of financial markets and institutions.
Assessment of the level of learning reached during the course will be performed principally by means of written examinations and oral tests, and possibly by participation in work groups, as well as during discussion of the dissertation.
Applying knowledge and understanding
As a result of the interdisciplinary approach of the course, and the considerable integration applied to the principal subject areas, above all the corporate and mathematical-statistical areas, Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management are capable of applying knowledge and comprehension skills in various professional fields: banks, insurance companies, real estate intermediation companies, savings management companies, consultancy companies, and public administration. More specifically, graduates must have the skills necessary to solve operational problems regarding intermediaries and financial markets, and to suggest and support precisely-argued practical and theoretical strategies. Master’s Degree graduates therefore have to have attained the capability of applying the methods and tools that they have learned to the interpretation and management of the dynamics of modern finance, whether with regard to specific company contexts, or within macro-financial scenarios; and likewise to decision models characteristic of the financial markets and the strategic processes typical of the different types of financial intermediation.
Interaction with professionals from the financial sector (in meetings at seminars and/or during frontal lessons), and likewise the discussion of case studies, will give students the chance to verify their capacity for comprehension and for the application of their knowledge.
Tests consist of written examinations, oral examinations, exercises and problem-solving activities, comprising specific tasks in which students are expected to demonstrate their mastery of tools, methodology, and an independent critical stance.
Particular importance is assigned to the assessment of the final examination.
The course was designed with the intention of developing an interdisciplinary approach encouraging skills in critical reflection and the interpretation of economic and financial processes and scenarios, as well as the capacity for applying models to problems.
Independence of judgement must be demonstrated above all in the application of knowledge for the solution of practical problems. Master’s Degree graduates will have to develop skills at acquiring and interpreting data regarding intermediaries and the banking, financial and insurance markets. They will have to be able to use relevant and appropriate sources of information; they will have to be capable of formulating independent, precisely-argued judgements, developing critical interpretations by using the most appropriate analytical models.
The development of a capacity for independent judgement is principally nurtured by active participation in case history discussions and the presentation of project work. Master’s Degree graduates have the chance to assess their own knowledge and their capability of responding to the practical requirements of financial markets and intermediation – highly complex and multifaceted sectors – by means of contacts with the various operational sectors (provided by means of the preparation and discussion of case studies, and by meeting professionals from the market, and individuals working in diverse financial and supervisory institutions), by passing written or oral examinations, and taking the final examination. The final examination is particularly important in the assessment of the degree of independence in judgement developed by the student.
Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management will be capable of constructing and developing a method of study and research enabling them to continue their studies independently, on subjects related to risk management and finance, as well as permitting them to constantly refine and update their knowledge, essential for maintaining a high-profile professional position in the world of work.
Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management will be able to activate and motivate individual learning processes, enabling them to extend and develop the level and variety of their knowledge, and encourage their professional lifelong learning.
Attainment of results in this field is achieved during the course overall, but in particular through individual study, work on the preparation of individual products, and activities linked to the preparation of the final dissertation.
Assessment of the degree to which these results are attained is performed during the academic process, which requires the presentation of data and information acquired and processed individually, often at high levels of complexity. It is also performed by evaluating learning activities and the quality of the research and compilation of information performed during preparation of the dissertation.
With regard to communications skills, Master’s Degree graduates in Finance and Risk Management acquire knowledge and skills enabling them to:
- express their knowledge with clarity in professional contexts, with specialist and non-specialist counterparts, and in an international scenario if necessary;
- manage information and communications processes effectively, demonstrating satisfactory skills in the comprehension of concepts expressed by others.
Particular attention will be dedicated to skills of expression in the English language.
These results are achieved by means of a combination of methods, such as the lecture-hall presentation of group work, participation in group work studies, the analysis of case-history studies, and the study of papers and documentation in English. These methods will be complemented by the activities performed in the preparation and presentation of the final examination.
Assessment of the results achieved in this area will be performed principally by means of oral tests, lecture-hall presentation of work, and the presentation of the final dissertation. Knowledge of the English language, with specific reference to specialist vocabulary regarding financial themes, will be assessed to ascertain sufficiently advanced linguistic skills.
Final examination, if any
For the final examination, students are asked to prepare a paper, under supervision by a course professor, consisting of a detailed study of themes treated in the course subject areas, developed both from the theoretical/conceptual point of view, and by means of empirical observations.

Has anyone heard of this rule or is aware of this rule?
A cybersecurity company from the US established this "1-10-60 rule” as a benchmark for the average speed needed to defeat hackers and stop the breach: 1 minute to detect, 10 to investigate and 60 minutes to remediate.
How many organizations can claimed to be able to do this? We are not surprised if the response is zero. Nil.

Since November 2014 IDE has been certified as an AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) - “customs simplifications/security and safety” (AEO-F) as defined by the European Union regulations. An AEO who meets the security and safety criterion is considered to be a secure and safe partner in the supply chain. An AEO is deemed reliable in the context of his customs related operations, and therefore, is entitled to enjoy benefits throughout the EU.
European Union has established a risk management framework common to all Member States to promote protection in customs controls for goods brought into or out of the customs territory of the Community. Such a framework ensures a harmonized application of common criteria and requirements.
The economic operator that meets common criteria is granted the status of authorized economic operator (AEO).
The criteria for granting the status of authorized economic operator include:
• Compliance with customs requirements,
• A satisfactory system of managing commercial and transport records
• Proven financial solvency, and
• Security and safety standards
Recognizing the importance of:
• Demand for Securing Global Trade
• Growing demands for trade facilitation
• Advance of globalization
• The fact that International supply chains become increasingly sophisticated,
the World Customs Organization (WCO) advocates the AEO program in different economies and promotes mutual recognition arrangements (MRA) of the AEO programs between interested economies, about which the business sector has strong expectations.
Many customers, especially in USA, are now requiring their suppliers to be strictly compliant with security regulations: being AEO is a good way to show this compliance.
Mutual recognition of AEO status is a key element to strengthen and assist end-to-end security of supply chain and to multiply benefits for traders.
The objective of mutual recognition of AEO status is that one customs administration in one country:
• Recognizes the AEO authorization issued under the other program and
• Agrees to provide substantial, comparable and, where possible, reciprocal benefits/facilitations to the mutually recognized AEOs.
The specific agreed benefits are contained in each individual MRA, but in general the benefit of fewer physical and documented based controls is always considered. Avoiding duplication of security and compliance controls facilitates legitimate trade.
On 4 May 2012, the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), through a decision of the EU-U.S. Joint Customs Cooperation Committee (JCCC), agreed on mutual recognition of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program in the United States (U.S.) and the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program of the European Union (EU). According to the JCCC decision, the EU and the U.S. will take favorably into account in their risk assessment, for the purpose of the conduct of inspections or controls, the respective membership status of certified trusted traders. The favorable treatment provided by mutual recognition will result in lower costs, simplified procedures and greater predictability for transatlantic business activities.

Within our modern culture, we often idolize the largest and cleverest professional athletes on the planet. While their own accomplishments in many cases are impressive, their own sportsmanship, or even lack thereof, leaves something to become desired. Sportsmanship is actually, at it's core, the substance that taking part in competition is performed solely for that enjoyment from the game or even sport itself and never with regards to winning. It has a sense associated with fairness, regard, and fellowship along with one's competitors.
Yet whenever we turn in order to these expert 閳ユdols, ' way too often all of us don't begin to see the sense associated with sportsmanship that people would would rather instill within our children. Rather, we tend to be inundated along with scandals, cockiness, and debate. So just how can we teach our kids the worth of sportsmanship within our modern aggressive culture?
The essence from the game
Games with regard to children are designed to teach all of them rules, competitors, and sportsmanship. Way too often, pressure is positioned on winning and also the rewards with regard to winning much outweigh those that include finishing 2nd. First as well as foremost in a competition with regard to children ought to be the enjoyment from the game, not the actual score or the ultimate result. Does this imply that all competition ought to be eliminated? Absolutely no. What this means is which, for kids, sportsmanship ought to come prior to competition.
Teaching kids sportsmanship begins with setting a perfect example to allow them to emulate. If adults concentrate on the rating, become irritated or as well intense whenever playing a game title, then that's imprinted upon children viewing us. Some easy things to bear in mind to assist teach sportsmanship consist of:
Smile as well as laugh. Whether or not you're successful or dropping, keep an optimistic attitude concerning the game. Smiling is actually contagious and when it's associated using the activity and never the outcome, children may emulate this particular behavior generally.
Reward good participation. Don't concentrate on the outcome. Win or even lose, congratulate the kid. If the kid has an undesirable attitude or even doesn't recognize their competitors, then reward shouldn't be granted.
Turn their focus on positive part models. Perhaps your son or daughter idolizes Terrell Owens. Whilst talented, his conduct and attitude may be the precise description of bad sportsmanship. Point this particular out after which turn your son or daughter onto sports athletes who personify great sportsmanship.
Select simple video games first
A terrific way to teach kids good sportsmanship would be to get all of them playing easy games, for example bean totes. In enjoyable, relaxing atmosphere, winning is not what issues; the times spent with friends and family is.

Best handled LS but poorer in quality
By Guide on
Vehicle2007 Lexus LS 460 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 8A)
ReviewThe overall technology features added on this vehicle enhanced comfortableness, drive-ability, handling, performance, and fuel efficient over the previous LS generations. However, craftsmanship over some area have shown degraded quality controls, i.e.interior parts show symptoms of early wears and tears. Wind noise continued to exist even after replacement of front double layers glasses. This is a disappointment for a luxury at this level. NAV system voice activation is terrible; unable to recognize 50% of commands given. Glove compartment door is already falling apart at 30K miles. Bottom line is it's a great luxury ride with some angrily imperfections.
Best FeaturesPowerful engine. 8 Speeds transmission. Excellent sound system. softer more precise ride compared to LS 430. Friendly electronic controls. XM radio and traffic assistance. Reliability.
Worst FeaturesPoor plastic based parts. Wind noise. Voice Activation is a joke.

My son Nick was turning thirty; (I think I was more shaken by the news than he was). I was told by his wife Chelsea that he really liked red velvet cake. Well, here is what I came-up with. Its relatively easy and fast but best to make over a couple of days in stages. One day to make the raspberry coulis, and chop the pistachios, one day to make the cake and filling. Assembly takes 30 minutes, and voilà! He really liked it.
Chocolate raspberry roll
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 15 minutes
For the cake:
3/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional but it helps with the meringue)
1/2 cup sugar + 1/4 cup of sugar (can be granulated or powdered)
1/3 cup cocoa powder (can replace the cocoa,water and butter with a chocolate bar 70% bittersweet, 100g)
1/4 cup boiling water
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour (all-purpose or cake flour), optional (see note)
1 Tbsp red food color (optional)
For the filling:
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar (can add more to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 envelope whipping cream stabilizer (optional)
For raspberry coulis:
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/2 cup raspberry jelly or preserves
juice of half a lemon
1/3 cup raspberry jelly (store bought to save time)
2 cup of raspberries (may need more)
1 cup of toasted pistachios
2 or more fresh mint sprigs
Making the cake:
1 half sheet pan measuring 15"x10" (it should be deeper than a regular cookie sheet)
2 or 3 spatulas, 2 rubber and one metal for spreading the batter
electric egg beaters or a stand-in mixer
blender or food processor for making the coulis
parchment paper for lining the pan
1 large whisk for folding the meringue into the chocolate batter
measuring spoons and cups
glass measuring cup to boil water and melt jelly
1. Boil water in measuring cup, add the cocoa, butter and vanilla and mix till smooth. Set aside.
2. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with the cream of tartar, adding 3 tablespoons of sugar gradually. Beat until the meringue is shiny and soft peaks form when stopping the machine. Place the meringue covered in the fridge while doing the egg yolk batter.
3.Beat the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of sugar for 5 to 10 minutes until light colored and thick. Add the cocoa cream and mix to combine. If desired, add a tablespoon of red color to get a red velvet effect.
4. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and place rack in the lower third of the oven.
5. Get the meringue from the fridge and start very gently folding it into the cocoa mixture, a little at a time, using a large whisk or rubber spatula. Keep at it until all the whites are mixed in but not deflated. The batter should be thick and delicate like a chocolate mousse. If not, the way to rescue it is to add some all-purpose flour (or cake flour), about 1/2 cup, by sprinkling it over the batter and by folding it gently as well.
6. Spread the batter onto the pan gently, using a long spatula, but without pressing on the batter too much. Insert into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. The cake will look set and will spring back when touched lightly with one’s finger. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle it with some cocoa powder. Then cover it with a wet (but dry) kitchen towel and start rolling it while removing it from the pan, holding the parchment paper and towel. When the cake is shaped like a roll, let it cool a bit. Prepare the filling.
7. Place the whipping cream, vanilla, powdered sugar and whipped cream stabilizer if using in a cold mixing bowl. Whip the mixture for 5 minutes or so until it thickens.
8.Unroll the cake and remove both the towel and parchment paper. Spread it with the whipped cream and roll it back, using the paper for support. Wrap the cake in the towel tightly and place it in the fridge for a few hours.
9.Prepare the raspberry coulis. Place the raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and some raspberry jelly in a mixer and process till pureed. Run the mixture through a strainer to remove any seeds.
10.To garnish the cake: Cut two pieces on the diagonal from both ends of the cake and set them aside (to eat separately). In a microwaveable bowl, place a few tablespoons of raspberry jelly and heat till it melts. Run it through a strainer if the jelly has seeds. Apply a thin coat of jelly on the cake (on top) and immediately press three rows of fresh raspberries onto the cake. Dab the remaining jelly on the raspberries to give them some shine.
11. Plating: Dab some pistachios on one side (over the cream filling if it is visible) or on the side and ladle the raspberry coulis on the other side. Place a couple mint leaves on the corners to add a splash of green.
This cake can be made successfully with or without flour; if the egg yolks are beaten till thick and the meringue is in good shape (firm, shiny), and the folding of the two is done without a problem (keeping the meringue fluffy within the batter), then no flour is needed.
I made it this time without the help of electric beaters or my beloved stand in mixer and so the yolks were not thick at all, and I had to use some flour to give the cake some body and structure. The flour can be added lightly by sprinkling it through a strainer and folding it into the batter gently with a whisk or spatula.
If you don't have cocoa powder in your pantry, you can melt a bar of good quality bittersweet chocolate (about 100 g or 125g the equivalent of 3 ounces) in the microwave and use it instead.

“You know who my gods are, who I believe in fervently? Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson — she’s probably the top — Mozart, Shakespeare, Keats. These are wonderful gods who have gotten me through the narrow straits of life.” -Maurice Sendak author and illustrator
I adore children’s books. The tactile experience of handling a book, sharing a story, taking in the illustrations, warm snuggles before falling asleep it’s easily a highlight in my daily routine. I don’t mind an e-reader for my own use but when it’s story time with Oliva it has to be a page turner, literally. Anything involving Maurice Sendak’s work is preferable.
Do you like e-readers? Do you have a favorite childhood author/illustrator?

That involves removal of excess plants from lawns and floral and garden patches. Weeds are an unwanted form of plant life which is more abundant than flowers and some kinds of lawn grasses. They compete together with garden vegetation for resources, drinking water and sun light, this can make them harmful to younger plants meaning they must be removed. Not only do they take the place of the desired plans, but can also damage plants and your property. By removing weeds we can ensure a healthier, neat looking garden with flourishing patches of blooms and lawn. We get rid of weeds either by hand or using a special chemical which attacks the green pigmentation in the plants and weeds leafs, drying them out by the inside completely.

Here is an updated Peruvian classic for Sean and Sam made dairy-free/vegan! The Aji Amarillos should be fresh or the paste salt free.
- 4 tbsp. of Aji Amarillo fresh, or paste
- 1/2 cup red onion
- 1/2 cup of nut cheese like Kite Hill, traditional is Queso Fresco
- 4 saltines
- 4 cloves of garlic chopped into larger pieces
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1 tbs of turmeric
Remove the stem, seeds and placenta of the Aji Amarillo and chop into small pieces along with the onions and garlic. Keep the garlic apart from the Aji Amarillos and red onions. You will separate the garlic at the end of 10 minutes. Cook all 3 ingredients in a pan with coconut oil for 10 minutes on low-medium.
Put the Aji Amarillo and onions in the blender, leave the garlic in the pan. Add the cheese, saltines, coconut milk, and turmeric. Blend until silky smooth. If you need to add more coconut milk to match your preferred consistency, do it! Mix your sauce back together with the garlic. Done!
Using Huancaína Sauce
It’s very versatile. Either serve cold as a condiment (plenty of options here), or pour on top of your already cooked protein and cook for less than 10 minutes! The traditional dish pairs the Huancaína Sauce with boiled yellow potatoes or chicken. You should also try sweet potatoes cut into slices and baked. Fried tempeh! Huancaína Sauce makes a great dipping sauce! Or, try with veggie burgers, it’s incredible!
Aji Amarillo Paste
Also, instead of preparing the Aji Amarillo by chopping up and cooking with the onion, you can also boil them for a paste. Remove the stem, seeds and placenta and cover the peppers with water in a pot. Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes.
Let the peppers cool a bit and then remove the skin. This makes the sauce sweeter and smoother, however it is more time consuming and requires more peppers.
Vegan Huancaína Sauce
The traditional recipe calls for Queso Fresco cheese—this is easily substituted with several options for nut cheeses. Or, try a mix of nutritional yeast and cashew butter. Be sure to use unsweetened, non-vanilla coconut milk. It’s much more flavorful versus dairy milk and it doesn’t have pus innit!
Also, you should try pepper substitutions, there are tons of options here. The Aji Amarillo might be the real MVP, but you should swap in chinense peppers such as the Aji Panca for more of a smokey flavor.
Mix in other fresh peppers such as the CGN 21500. This will provide some experimental tastes from the future. The key here is to not be a little baby bitch if it’s too spicy.

Summer breaks harken back to our nation's agricultural past, when children would leave the classroom to till the family fields, feed the family livestock, and groom the family ghost. Harvest summer fun with today's Groupon to Camp Courage USA. Choose between the following options:

Counselors closely oversee campers, who are divided into groups based on age, gender, and repertoire of birdcalls. A nurse is on call 24/7 to tend to campers who feel ill or who want to build a back deck onto their tongue-depressor Taj Mahals. Camp Courage recommends resident campers bring this list of items.

The prototype is finally far enough along that we feel comfortable showing our core gameplay systems. Remember, this is just a vertical slice prototype and the final game will look and play even better. Enjoy!
Hi guys, happy Friday! We’ll we’ve covered the design pillars of Project Resurgence in one of my previous posts, and today I want to go a little more in depth on the Exploration pillar: specifically the dialog system. Since Resurgence is such a narrative heavy game, the dialog system (I use the short version of the word, deal with it) is an extremely important element. We’ve spent many hours debating various features and looked to a variety of sources for inspiration, and in the end we came up with the following goals: Continue reading Dialog System: Injecting Gameplay and Reactivity
“Dehrgada City. A shining beacon of light for all Tribes. Once a small settlement for disparate groups dissatisfied with their homelands, after the Twenty Year War finally drew to a close. With the defeat of the Children of Baric and the liberation of their Ashurad slaves, it was established into the sprawling metropolis it is today. It has become the largest trading hub, connecting all of the five Tribal homelands, and has been adopted as a new home by the Ashurad. The very name of the city, ‘Dehrgada,’ is a combination of the word for ‘haven’ in each Tribes’ native tongue. Continue reading A City in Turmoil: Shield Legion vs Opal Truth

–November of 2006
Here on the Hilltop, we have taken the Biblical language of “Seeking Him” as the theme for this school year. The language is found in a number of Biblical passages, but we have chosen Psalm 24:6 as our special passage. The staff and student body has committed themselves to daily seeking the face of the Lord for personal and corporate revival. Each Wednesday chapel is dedicated to a sermon that develops the theme of seeking Him. I began the Wednesday series with the passage from Hosea 10:12 that says, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you”. I found two important truths that I wanted to share with the Revivalist family.
First, there is a process in seeking Him. In the language of farming, Hosea says there is plowing, then planting, and then the exercise of patience. Plowing is the deepest and most painful part of revival. The hidden must be exposed – the hard ground broken up and softened. Planting is the most instructive and enjoyable part of revival. It can be simply glorious to fill our prepared hearts with the good seed of the Word, prayer, and faith. Patience is the most challenging part of revival. We can be highly engaged in the first two steps but only God can send the rain and the ultimate harvest.
Evan Roberts, the human instrument in the 1904 Wales revival, gave the following steps as a process for seeking revival: 1. Confess all known sin to God; 2. Deal with and get rid of any “doubtful” area of your life; 3. Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly; 4. Confess Christ publicly. It was a good process, as over 100,000 people were led to saving faith in Jesus Christ during that move of God.
Second, there is a promise in seeking Him. The Bible is very clear that God delights to respond to His children. James 4:8 says, “Draw nigh to God…and He will draw nigh to you.” The Prophet Isaiah told us that He would “pour water upon him that is thirsty…” (Isa. 44:3). The Apostle Paul gives the most encouraging word of all when he tells us that “all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us” (2 Co 1:20). God longs to say “Yes” to the earnest cry of His children for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit.
This truth is illustrated in an event that happened over two centuries ago. President Thomas Jefferson and a group were traveling across country on horseback when they came to a river which had left its banks due to a recent downpour. The swollen river had washed the bridge away, so each rider was forced to ford the river on horseback, and the swift currents posed a life-threatening situation. A man traveling by foot was standing aside at river’s edge. He watched each of the riders in turn plunge in and finally make it to the other side. When Jefferson was the only rider left to cross, the man asked the president if Jefferson would ferry him across the river. The president agreed without hesitation. When safely on the other side, another rider asked the man, “Tell me why you selected the president to ask this favor of?” The man was shocked, as he didn’t know it was President Jefferson. “All I know,” he said, “was that on your faces was written the answer ‘No,’ but on his face was written the answer ‘Yes.’”
Written on the face of God is the answer “yes” to the cry of His children who long for and seek after a personal revival.

Quick Read: Immigration Bill Could Help Deported Parents Reunite With American Children
When parents of children born in the U.S. are deported, their kids sometimes stay behind. Many live with other family members in the United States, but thousands end up in foster care. The immigration bill being debated in the U.S. Senate could make it easier for these families to be reunited — or stay together in the first place.

Just like the lower 48, NH saw record warmth in 2012
Posted by David Brooks | Wednesday, January 16, 2013
It was also the warmest year for the Northeast region, with state records broken in eight of the 12 Northeastern states: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The average temperature of 47.2 degrees Fahrenheit in New Hampshire was about 4 degrees above the average for the period of 1895 to 2012 and broke the previous record of 46.6 degrees set in 1998, Stampone said.
“This new record makes 2012 the third consecutive year to rank as one of the 10 warmest since 1895 and the eighth since 1990. Four of the top 10 warmest years since 1895 occurred during the last decade, and eight of 10 occurred since 1990,” she said.
The top 10 average warmest years in New Hampshire are:
No. 1: 2012, 47.2 degrees
No. 2: 1998, 46.6 degrees
No. 3: 1953, 46.3 degrees
No. 4: 2010, 46.2 degrees
No. 5: 2006, 46.0 degrees
No. 6: 1990, 45.9 degrees
No. 7: 1999, 45.8 degrees
No. 8 (tie): 2011 and 1949, 45.6 degrees
No. 10: 1991, 45.3 degrees
The coldest year for New Hampshire was 1926 (39.5 degrees), and no other year has ranked within the 10 coldest since.
“In addition, average monthly temperatures were above normal for 10 out of 12 months in 2012, with six months exceeding the range of normal variability and a new average monthly temperature record for March, which was unusually warm,” Stampone said.
The average temperature in March 2012 was 39.6 degrees, which was 9 degrees above the 1981-2010 normal for March and slightly above the previous record of 39.4 degrees set in 1946. Nearly 200 individual station records were also broken during the month, including 168 daily and 21 monthly station high temperatures records statewide.
June and November were the only months in 2012 with an average monthly temperature below normal, however both months fell within the range of normal variability, and the differences are not significant.

One of the major issues modern forces face in the field -- aside from weight -- is how to maintain proper levels of electricity to power their various electronic gadgets and doo dads.
U.S. weapons are increasingly incorporating new sights, pointers and beams to their weapons and those things suck power with a vengeance. How much would it blow if you're a sniper and Ole Osama passes through your crosshairs one night and all the sudden...<blink> goes your night illumination scope.
There goes your $25 million reward...
But the head of Army weapons programs hinted yesterday that his office at Picatinny is working on a project to incorporate a "hot rail" system onto its rifles. PEO Soldier Weapons Col. Doug Tamilio told us:
"It hooks into the 1913 rail system. And what that allows you to do is put a system on [the weapon] and do away with the battery pack. And what you can do is on the buttstock of the weapon or the hand grip you can put batteries in there. So everything you put on this system is already hot wired and can run off that. And you get a lot more battery life out of that too."
Another plus is that the weapon's weight and center of gravity shifts to a more shooter-friendly spot: in the grip and stock, instead of along the rail or forward. This could translate into increased accuracy and less fatigue.
Tamilio said that Congress injected some funds to look into this last FY and he's got some money to continue it in this FY. His office has a prototype ready for testing and if all goes well, this "hot rail" system could be added to the Improved Carbine requirement as it evolves.

Watching the slow motion train wreck that is the European economy right now, and the Argentine economy just about always, I started to wonder – should political leaders be personally liable for their failures? Obviously, there is no way that someone whose ineptitude puts a creates a crash that causes severe economic hardship to other people can make the other affected people whole. Additionally, in most cases, many of the other people affected share some of the blame. Don’t like the fact that GW started a war for seemingly no reason in Iraq and left behind an economic mess? Don’t like it that Obama has not only failed to failed to prosecute the scofflaws who created the mess, he has done as much as humanly possible to ensure they continue to profit using your tax dollars? Too bad, because if you’re over reading this you probably voted for at least one of those two guys.
Holding people accountable also faces the problem of mis-placed blame. There are several think tanks, some which have been around for decades, whose primary purpose in practice appears to be “proving” that the period of fastest measured real economic growth in this country’s history, a period that came scarcely four years after the biggest meltdown in this country history, was the height of economic mismanagement. The end result, of course, is that we haven’t so much as had a debate on using the solutions that worked so well in the previous meltdown this time around, and the economy is still shaky. (For reasons that are obscure to me, much of Europe is actually trying the exact opposite approach to the policies that have worked historically.)
But let us say it was possible to correctly assign blame where it is due. Should we then hold those people who create big economic or political disasters accountable? If their actions lead to the senseless deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands, or the reasonless penury of millions, should they be held accountable? Sure, you could never extract the trillions in lost economic output from those whose decisions made and/or enabled the mess, but it should be possible to punish them in some ways, enough so that the next people in the same position face a different set of incentives.
Bear in mind: leading a nation, holding the fate of one’s compatriots in one’s hands is not a right, its a privilege, and arguably, the ultimate privilege. People put huge sums of money and a lot of effort into attaining that privilege, or even just influencing who gets that privilege. Those who do get it, or even are somewhat close to it, not only enjoy that privilege but also profit immensely. Put another way – being a national leader apparently has nothing but upside. Is that really a good thing? Does it encourage especially inept or corrupt people to seek public office, and make it more likely that such people will win? And what should we do about it?

Over the next year I am going to be writing about Tarot Birth Cards, what they mean and how we can work with them. I use the system of Tarot Birth Cards developed by Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone of the Tarot School (www.tarotschool.com). Using the Seeker’s birth data (month, day and year), pairs of birth cards are defined. (For more information, and to calculate your own Birth Cards, go to http://tarotschool.com/Calculator.html.)
Please note: I have a book being published by Schiffer Books in fall of 2011 – , “Keys To Empowerment”, incorporating images from Karyn’s Easton’s “Tarot Lovers Tarot”. This was to have been a joint project (book and deck published together), but the decision was made to publish both separately, which I find very exciting! Karyn has a Birth Card calculator up on her site, where you can also view her incredible deck (it really is!) –http://paranormality.com/tarot-birth-card-calculator.shtml.
A special thanks to Leisa ReFalo www.tarotconnection.net, who developed the Birth Card Calculator, and graciously gave us permission to use it.
Our third pair of Birth Cards are the Hanged Man (Key 12) and the Empress (Key 3). Some of the associations for these cards are:
The Hanged Man –
Astrological Sign: Water
Keywords: Surrender, acceptance, recognizing the patterns that bind us, a need to consider options, depression, self-imposed limitations, lack of progress, wanting to act, but having no direction, procrastination, boredom.
The Empress –
Astrological Sign: Venus
Keywords: Nurturing, mothering, creativity, fertility, grounding of energy, abundance, harmony, prosperity, self-indulgence, withdrawing from others, frigid, not feeling empowered.
The Theme for this lifetime is: Learning to surrender and accept life, and the ability to give and receive love and compassion.
We can choose to do personal work with our own Birth Cards, we can use Birth Cards in conjunction with a reading for a client (place their birth cards, drawn from a deck other than the one you are reading with, above the spread(s) laid out for them). The spread(s) are then read through the lens of perception of the Seeker’s Birth Cards. As added value, a reader could give their client scans of their Birth Cards, along with a short write-up about them. Readers can also use the Birth Card system to better understand other people in their own lives (family, co-workers, friends etc.).
The key to bringing balance to any lifetime is that of understanding how and where your Birth Cards are operating in your life. The Hanged Man is all about reflection, about taking a time out to look at the bigger picture, to see both the light and the shadow, and to note where you are in the cycle of life.
The Empress, ruled by Venus, places focus on creativity, love and nurturing, of self and others. With the Empress we see the need for the practical application of one’s skills and abilities. The Empress listens to her intuition to know where to place her attention and energy.
The Hanged Man and the Empress set the tone for this lifetime. The path that the individual walks is one that addresses the lessons of life – spiritual life with the Hanged Man, physical life with the Empress. The time out that the Hanged Man needs to take acts as a form of detachment, while the Empress, as she surveys her universe, is involved in the minutia of life.
A 12/3 (Hanged Man/Empress) individual empowers themselves by quieting their minds so that they can look at their lives with fresh eyes. There is a need to see thoughts and actions clearly, so that bonds from the past can be released and the individual can move forward. We need to look closely at eh “why” of our actions, in order to move away from victim mentality. This individual also need to look at their own creative nature, and develop the abilities that they were born with. They need to focus on grounding and centering, and connecting with their natural environment. The Empress brings with her the ability to see abundance and beauty all around us, to view the world as a fertile place in which to grow our ideas and ourselves. The Empress initiates change with her creative thoughts.
We are what we tell ourselves we are. When we understand why we make the decisions that we do, we can look at the decisions that are not bringing us happiness, and rethink them. If our decisions are not taking us where we want to go, we have a disconnect in our life. A 12/3 lifetime is all about where the Seeker is in their life. The Hanged Man is moving away from the details of the physical world. He is looking for enlightenment and inner wisdom. The Empress is intimately involved with the minute details of life, protecting those in her realm, nurturing the life around her and appreciating the abundance in her world.

Wiggins Watch took a bit of a hiatus the last three weeks as there was seemingly always a big trade rumor or something else Celtics related going on on Monday's. But, we're back at it this week, and despite three weeks passing, the tank scene remains similar. We have a ton of teams in the running for the top picks, with other clubs one three game losing streak away from being right in the mix. It's a crowded field - even as we approach the 40% mark of the NBA season.
Before we get to the teams in the race, let's catch up with the top draft prospects and how they've been playing of late.
Andrew Wiggins, Kansas: 15.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 47% FG, 36% 3 PT
Jabari Parker, Duke: 22.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.3 BPG, 0.9 SPG, 54% FG, 47% 3 PT
Julius Randle, Kentucky: 18.1 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 1.7 APG, 0.7 BPG, 56% FG, 72% FT
Joel Embiid, Kansas: 10.5 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.3 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 1.1 APG, 68% FG, 65% FT
Embiid is the big riser since we last checked in, as the seven footer has proven to be a dominant force on defense and his offensive game is not quite as raw as people originally thought. His numbers would be better if he could stay on the court more, but his propensity to foul (3.5 per game) has limited him to less than 21 minutes per game. Wiggins has been overshadowed statistically by both Parker and Randle, but most draft analysts still put him at the top of their big board because he has the highest ceiling and is the best defender. Parker is probably the favorite for player of the year (along with Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State and Doug McDermott of Creighton), and he seems like the most NBA ready guy on this list.
It's also important to remember that the 2014 draft isn't just loaded at the top, but it's considered the deepest draft we've seen in years. Smart, McDermott, Dante Exum (Australia), Aaron Gordon (Arizona), Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky), James Young (Kentucky) and Rodney Hood (Duke) are all guys that should go in the top 15 and have All-Star potential (not that they'll all be stars, but they all have big time talent).
So while a top three or four pick is still the goal for many of the teams we're about to talk about - you don't necessarily need a pick that high to get a really good player come June.
Ok, enough small talk, let's break down the field.
The Top 4:
1. Bucks, 6-24
2. Jazz, 9-24
T-3. Sixers, 9-21
T-3. Nuggets (own the Knicks pick), 14-15
According to John Hollinger's playoff odds (which also computes lottery odds), the Bucks currently have a 21.1% chance of landing the #1 overall pick. It's not difficult to see why. The Bucks are an equal opportunity loser, losing at home (3-12), on the road (3-12), vs the East (6-18), vs the West (0-6), in regulation (5-19), and in overtime (1-5). Milwaukee has a few really nice pieces in Giannis Antetokounmpo (this name is KILLING me..needs to be copy and pasted every time), John Henson, Larry Sanders and Khris Middleton, but their veterans have been so awful that the Bucks have been unable to compete on a nightly basis, even in the East. Now there are rumors that they want to trade Sanders, who just returned from a thumb injury suffered in a bar fight, and who starts getting expensive next season. If they could unload him and a veteran or two (Zaza Pachulia, Caron Butler, Gary Neal, Ersan Ilyasova), this tank train would be tough to catch.
Utah on the other hand has been playing solid basketball of late, posting an 8-10 record after their 1-14 start. Rookie point guard Trey Burke has emerged as a rookie of the year candidate and Utah is a small forward away from having a fantastic young starting five (Burke-Gordon Hayward-Mystery SF-Derrick Favors-Enes Kanter). The Jazz are likely still bad enough to earn a bottom five record, but their recent run of success could end up hurting their chances to land that SF in this year's draft. After all, Utah already dumped all of their veteran talent last season, so short of injury or benching their young studs, there's not much else they can do to worsen themselves.
And then you have Philly, the pre-season favorites for the #1 pick (Vegas predicted 16 wins for them), who got off to a roaring 3-0 start, but have plummeted in the standings since, losing 21 of 27. Hollinger's system has them finishing 22-60 and places them only behind Milwaukee in the lottery standings, giving them a 17.1% chance of grabbing the first pick. No franchise has seen as many ups and downs over the past two years, as the Sixers morphed from up-and-coming Eastern Conference contender (2011-12 season), to franchise ruined by Andrew Bynum (2012-13), to now a team one lucky lottery away from being pretty damn good (2013-14). Philly got a game changing player in Michael Carter-Williams out of a draft that didn't appear to have many, and have a big time big man prospect ready to play next season in Nerlens Noel. If they can land another stud in June, this would suddenly be a team to look out for.
Tied with Philly at 9-21 is another Atlantic division team, only this one was expected to win 48 games (according to Vegas) and contend for a division title. The New York Knicks. Only, the Knicks don't own their 1st round pick, the Nuggets do. This leaves Denver in surprisingly good shape to land one of the top four picks in the draft, as they have both their own pick (currently 13th in the lottery, but only two games from being 10th) and New York's. And it's not like the Knicks are showing signs of breaking out of it, as they have lost three games in a row by a combined 56 points.
You'd think a team with as much offensive fire power as the Kings would fare better than a .310 winning percentage. But you'd think wrong. SacTown is getting break out performances from both DeMarcus Cousins (22.9 PPG, 11.2 RPG) and Isaiah Thomas (19.2 PPG, 6 APG), and the newly acquired Rudy Gay figured to be a huge upgrade over John Salmons. Yet the Kings can't seem to get out of their own way, having won consecutive games just once in the past six weeks, and having yet to win three in a row all season. At the moment Sacramento has a 7.1% shot at landing the #1 pick, tied for the 5th best chance in basketball.
And here's the team they're tied with. The Cavs were picked as a playoff team by many before the season, but it turns out an off-season where you hire Mike Brown as coach, draft Anthony Bennett #1 overall and sign Andrew Bynum wasn't an ideal plan. Kyrie Irving may end up being just too damn good to let this team sink into the top five in the lottery, but until they can distance themselves from the ongoing Bynum disaster (not to mention the reported Dion Waiters-Irving feud), they're as good as bet as anyone to end up at the bottom of the conference.
Hawks (right to swap with the Nets), 17-14
Everything was breaking Atlanta's way. They were 16-13 and in great shape to be the 3-seed in the East, and the dumpster fire known as the Brooklyn Nets were sitting right near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, ready to hand over a top five pick to the Hawks. But then Al Horford went down with what will probably end up being a season ending injury, and suddenly things aren't quite as bright in the ATL. Sure, the East is terrible, and the Hawks may just be able to claw their way towards 35-40 wins and a playoff spot despite losing their best player. But we've seen teams topple when losing their top dog before, and now Atlanta needs to figure out how to survive in a post-Horford world (something they were able to do with Josh Smith and Joe Johnson, and without Paul Millsap, back in 2011-12). Thankfully for the Hawks, while their season outlook is suddenly not looking so hot, the Nets future is as bleak as ever. Brook Lopez is done for the year, Jason Kidd is possibly quitting on the team, and Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett look like they may be toast. And with that in mind, Hollinger's odds give Atlanta a 5.6% shot to land the first pick.
Orlando is moving in the right direction, with a nice young core led by Nikola Vucevic, Victor Oladipo and Tobias Harris. They also have seen Arron Afflalo break out this year, putting up 21.9 PPG with crazy good shooting numbers, prompting some folks to question whether or not they should deal him. Afflalo is 28-years-old and signed through next season (at an affordable $7.8 million). Orlando could probably get quite a haul for him at this year's trade deadline, stocking up on even more young assets while improving their lottery chances. Or they could decide to build around Afflalo, and offer him a big contract extension that would kick in during his age 30 season. If Orlando is really serious about a rebuild, they should do the former.
A five game losing streak. No Kobe. No Nash. No Blake. Pau Gasol on the trading block. Mike D'Antoni at the helm. I mean is it really surprising that Hollinger's system has the Lakers finishing at 33-49 (and gives them the 9th best chance to get the #1 pick)? But for Celtics fans (and I assume Laker-haters), be careful what you wish for while rooting against LA. The absolute best case scenario for the Lakers is landing a big time talent in the draft right as they free up $25+ million in cap space next summer. At the moment, very few teams have a bleaker future than a Lakers team with no young talent and $75 million tied up in an injured, aging Kobe through 2016. But if they were to suddenly add Parker/Wiggins/Randle and a big name free agent this summer - things would change quite a bit.
Wrapping up the top ten in terms of Hollinger's odds are the Rose-less Bulls, who have a 3.1% chance at landing the #1 pick. You've got to give Chicago this — they play their ass off. With or without Rose, they battle game in and game out under Tom Thibodeau. And that alone should help them win enough games to avoid a top five pick. But if they were to trade Luol Deng, things could change very quickly. And if Rose could stay healthy, a Rose-Noah-Butler-Wiggins/Parker core would seemingly be an overnight rebuild for ChiTown.
The Celtics situation:
We're limiting the official Wiggins Watch to the top ten teams (let's be honest, we could go 15 deep if we really wanted to), but we obviously need to discuss the Cs. Boston is at 13-17 and currently holding down the 8-seed in the East. No team has more to gain or lose with a three game winning or losing streak than the Celtics, who are a single game back of the Raptors (the 4-seed) and a single game up on the Bulls (the 9-seed, and more importantly, the 10th spot in the lottery). At the moment, Hollinger gives the Celtics a 1.8% chance at landing the first pick, the 12th best odds in the league (behind the ten teams listed above and the Grizzlies). But that does not take into account the return of Rajon Rondo or any potential trades that Danny Ainge makes. It's possible Ainge adds to the team with a guy like Omer Asik, or subtracts by dealing Brandon Bass or Kris Humphries. Things could get pretty interesting in January as the Celtics head out on a brutal five game road trip (@OKC, @DEN, @LAC, @GSW, @POR) without Rondo. If Ainge then compounds that with a trade, things could unravel pretty quickly. Then again, if Boston gets to late January with a record of 19-26 (or so), and then Rondo returns, they would have a great shot of contending for the division title. It seems like such a cop out to keep saying this — but we still have no idea what the rest of this season entails. 30 games in and both a top five pick and a division title are still in play. The season of the great unknown continues.

Experian Pays $485M for PriceGrabber.com
By Evan Schuman, Ziff Davis Internet
Betting that price comparison sites will play an increasingly prominent role in e-commerce, credit information vendor Experian will spend almost half a billion dollars to take over PriceGrabber.com, Experian announced Wednesday.
Following on the heels of June's purchases—just days apart—where E.W. Scripps paid $525 million for Shopzilla and eBay paid $620 million for Shopping.com, Experian's move seems to continue a trend.
Price comparison sites make their money by charging retailers a fee when customers are sent their way.
The big question is whether consumers will start letting price comparison sites influence their purchases in the same way that traditional all-encompassing search engines impact so many other pageview issues.
Not coincidentally, other major players in the price-comparison space include entries from search engine leaders Google (Froogle) and Yahoo (Yahoo Shopping).
NexTag.com is one of the larger remaining independent price-comparison sites.
Analysts say that the acquisitions are all about future market-share potential and that's why the purchases are happening at such high multiples.
For example, Wednesday's $485 million PriceGrabber grab was buying a company that is expected to deliver only $60 million in revenue this year.
Experian officials point to strong profits being more meaningful than sales, but PriceGrabber's healthy profit margin is still only projected to deliver $25 million this year.
"We believe that we got a fair price for a good business," said Experian EVP Peg Smith.
"The market itself is forecast to grow about 40 percent this year, and we expect to grow faster than the market. The underlying drivers for this business are going in the right direction."
Beyond pure profit growth, the other reason for an acquisition to work is strategic synergy, said analysts.
In other words, if the combination of Experian and PriceGrabber will boost corporate profits for the $2.5 billion Experian more than $485 million, it's a good deal.
Experian's Smith said that the retail vertical represents 17 percent of total sales for Experian, and she characterized that as "a very large portion of the revenue."
For years, she said, Experian has been working with those retailers trying to help connect them with customers. That made a price-comparison site a natural fit, she said.
Some analysts were not so certain that it would be a clean fit.
Sucharita Mulpuru, a senior analyst with Forrester Research, said she had expected someone to buy PriceGrabber, but was surprised at Experian's move.
"To be honest, I'm really baffled by this acquisition. Experian manages your credit report," she said. "They have tons of data about people. They're trying to roll this into their interactive group, but it's not a strong player in retail. The thing that jumps out about this is the price and the acquirer. In the other cases—Shopping.com and Shopzilla—there was more synergy between them and the acquirer. I find it harder to see how PriceGrabber will serve Experian and vice versa."
Forrester's Mulpuru also said she thought Experian paid way too much.
"It was definitely overvalued. I don't see growth being as substantial because PriceGrabber is so much smaller than its competitors," Mulpuru said.
"In the month of November alone, they claim they got millions and millions of unique visitors, but Nielsen NetRatings put them at seventh among the most visited price comparison sites. The top sites had 20 million visitors. They had 7 or 8 million, so they're working off a much smaller base. I don't know how sustainable their growth will be over time."
One justification for the higher price is that not all price-comparison sites are the same.
Harry Tsao is the co-founder of E-commerce site Smarter.com and, as a student of E-Commerce, argues that finding the lowest price is actually a pretty poor indicator of the quality of a price-comparison site.
A recent Consumer Reports story, for example, did a shootout between Froogle, NexTag, PriceGrabber, Shopping.com, Become.com, Shopzilla and Yahoo Shopping.
Froogle and Yahoo Shopping delivered the lowest prices of the group, with Shopping.com coming in third.
But Tsao argues the absolute lowest prices are heavily polluted with fraudulent sites that advertise prices for products they don't have, with the scheme's goal to upsell consumers once they try and buy.
"I think finding the lowest price is a very poor metric" for determining the quality of a price-comparison site, Tsao said.
"Sites like PriceRunner and Froogle include anybody that would sell the product online. Froogle especially tries and list everything under the sun from every single merchant online" including "a bunch of illegitimate retailers."
Tsao argues that PriceGrabber does much more to weed out frauds, so while their prices may not be the lowest, they are a more accurate reflection of the prices available.
Experian's Smith said the vendor screening process was one of the attractive features of PriceGrabber.
"They are very selective in vetting who their merchants are" based on customer reviews and other methods, Smith said, adding that price comparison sites see a lot of customers choosing on non-price attributes, such as the proximity for a brick-and-mortar location or the comfort-food-aspects of a branded manufacturer and branded retailer.
Another differentiation that Tsao argues is SKU-matching to make it more likely that consumers are seeing apples-to-apples product comparisons.
"If they don't do SKU association, it might be a completely different product," he said.
Experian's Smith agreed. "It might be a compatible print cartridge as opposed to the manufacturer's own print cartridge," she said.
"PriceGrabber will not allow that to happen. They will fire merchants if they are misleading consumers."
Another key argument for Experian's acquisition is what company officials said is PriceGrabber's site visitor loyalty, resulting in a lot of repeat customers.
Forrester's Mulpuru agrees that there is a lot of interest in the price-comparison segment today, but she questions the wisdom of that focus.
"I'm skeptical of the future of price comparison sites. On a Forrester survey, e-commerce marketing budgets grew 20 percent, but the price comparison budget was flat to nominal—maybe five percent," she said.
"More money is going to the paid searches like on Yahoo and Google. It's misguided to think the growth in price comparison sites will continue over time."
As a business model, Mulpuru also questions the comparison site's longtime viability.
About "70 percent of people online in the U.S. don't use shopping comparison sites. This is 2005 data I'm referring to. From a retail perspective, I'm becoming more skeptical of these price comparison services. Outside of the holiday season, it doesn't work for most retailers," Mulpuru said.
"At the same time, you're paying for it, it's on a cost-per-click basis. Retailers aren't foolish. If they're paying for clicks and they're not getting the conversions, it's not going to work."

The benefits of an HRMS with self service are extensive and scalable for any size company. With an enterprise software implementation, self-service functionality is as simple as 'plug and play'.
A self-service HRMS will open up data and processes to employees company-wide.
Technology is all about streamlining procedures, saving time and achieving more with less resources. When it comes to the endless detailed queries our employees have about terms, conditions, salary, leave entitlement, and so on, the days of turning to the HR department for answers are over.
The continuing rise of automated HRMS systems with self-service functionality gives the employee direct access to their personal records.
Enhanced Accessibility Creates Smoother Administration
Mobile HRMS self-service allows access anywhere and anytime, anywhere access is convenient and will increase usage of HRMS self-service functions because they offering users genuinely helpful tools. Booking flights for your next vacation and need to check your available paid time off allowance? Easily done. Working on your household finances after dinner and need to check your last few payslips? No problem.
Reduce Administrative Business Costs
Every time an employee or manager uses their direct access to answer a question they'd otherwise ask a member of the HR team, time is saved and productivity - of the enquiring employee and the HR team - is increased. Time is money and, sooner or later, real and measurable savings will emerge will in the HR administrative overheads.
Improve Employee Satisfaction
If you measure employee engagement and satisfaction, HRMS self-service should have a beneficial impact, at least in terms of employee opinion on the available support services. Easy access to information such as benefits packages, open enrolment, or even pensions statements – all issues that tie up HR staff with lengthy and/or complicated inquiries – leads to less frustration with the HR department and a better-informed workforce. What's more, it tends to result in more accurate records being kept; when each individual is responsible for their own employee record, mistakes and errors become far less common.
Leads to a More Strategic HR Function
HRMS self-service frees up HR resources, allowing the HR team to focus on becoming the strategic partner to the business it always wanted to be.
What Are the Likely Savings in Terms of HR Overheads?
That self-service reduces the HR administrative overhead is an accepted benefit. You could potentially see a 20-25% reduction in time spent on routine HR queries and record-keeping. Many organizations find that the demand for HR resources actually increases because the longer-term impact of self-service is a greater involvement in strategic matters and better quality support for labour-intensive functions (and thus more costly) such as recruitment and performance management. Explore the potential admin savings in detail and where those savings can be redeployed within HR.

A 51-year-old North Carolina man is accused of punching an 11-year-old girl in the face during a fight Saturday at the Asheville Mall, according to the Asheville Citizen-Times.
Video of the altercation has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube, drawing outrage against the man and some criticism of a group of teens who appeared early on to be taunting him.
An off-duty police officer arrested David Steven Bell outside the mall Saturday, minutes after he is accused of hitting the 11-year-old and pushing two other 13-year-old girls, the Citizen-Times reported Monday.
TV station WLOS reported Bell lives in Black Mountain and is charged with assaulting a girl under age 12, and two counts of assault on a female.
The Asheville Mall acknowledged the incident on its Facebook page Saturday.
"We are aware of the videos circulating on social media," said the post. "The Asheville Police Department responded immediately and the situation was diffused. An arrest has been made. Please contact the Asheville Police Department with further questions."
Newsweek quoted an Asheville Police spokesperson as saying "a fight involving a group of juveniles broke out at the Asheville Mall ... David Steven Bell, 51, pushed a young girl and hit her."
Videos of the incident have been posted multiple times on YouTube, including one that has been viewed 104,000 times.
In one 29-second video, a man is seen surrounded by a group of teens, one of whom appears to shove him from the back. The man begins to argue with one of the youths, and he then pushes her. The teen gets up and rushes at the man and he punches her in the face, knocking her to the ground, the video shows.
Media outlets did not report what prompted the altercation, and it was not clear if the 11-year-old was seriously injured.
Bell's first court appearance is Feb. 5, according to the New York Post and WLOS.

In this month’s GWC newsletter, our Candidate Action team features two articles that discusses the Black Lives Matter movement and the historic moment of change that we are facing. One article discusses how you can get involved to make change, even while living abroad, and the other discussions the intersections between racial injustice and environmental injustice.
Our Candidate Information Team has been doing great work, and this month, they provide an interview with Wendy Davis, who is famous for her filibuster attempt to stop the closing of most abortion clinics in Texas in 2013, as well as profiles of two Democratic women running for Senate and the House of Representatives to represent Iowa.
The pandemic has sadly caused a substantial increase in domestic violence both in the US and globally, and we feature an article that discusses some of the legislative measures that can be taken to address it.
Finally, June is Pride Month, and we provide the 2nd part of our two-part series of recommendations for books, podcasts, music and more to celebrate LGTBQ women.
BLACK LIVES MATTER: THE TIME FOR HISTORIC CHANGE IS NOW!
Black Lives Matter in the Climate Crisis
By Naomi Ages
We have all watched with increasing horror, and resolve, protests arise across the United States in the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders. Racism in the U.S. is deep, with roots that go back before the founding of the country. And racism in the U.S. is inseparable from environmental injustices. Communities of color, and frontline communities have always borne the brunt of pollution in the air, land and water (remember Flint?), negative impacts from construction and the operation of fossil fuel facilities (“cancer alley” in Louisiana) and even the disproportionate environmental impacts of redlining, which forced African-Americans into certain neighborhoods, and prevented them from living in others.
At the same time, the racist power structures in the U.S. systematically undermined these communities’ ability to build political power and resist these injustices. “The systems of oppression that have led to the deaths of so many Black people,” says Black environmentalist Leah Thomas, “were the same systems that perpetuated environmental injustice.”
Taking Action from Overseas for Black Lives Matter
By Chloe Shin-Gay
Living abroad comes with a mixed bag of benefits and as well as its own pains. The distance is usually the biggest drawback, frequently requiring long and costly flights to get back to your home. During the past weeks of protests over the killing of George Floyd (or Breonna Taylor, or Ahmaud Arbery, or of too many others), that distance has never felt further. Sometimes the distance makes it harder to take action, and easier to explain away when you don’t. It’s easy to say: “That’s happening in America”, or to say, “I’d protest if I was there, but there’s nothing organized here,” instead of finding another way. But this is no longer acceptable.
CANDIDATE INFORMATION TEAM - MONTHLY UPDATE
Wendy Davis is More Determined than Ever
By Naomi Ages
“I want to make sure that we have voices in Congress that will be there as champions of advancing gender equity, which is incredibly important to me. I think we need more champion voices on those issues...Each of us brings our own fight in our bellies from our experiences and I think we need a little more belly fightin’ on gender equity issues that are long overdue.” Wendy Davis
Who is Wendy Davis?
You (hopefully) got to know Wendy Davis back in 2013 when her “remarkable” filibuster in the Texas legislature went viral. Standing in her beloved pink sneakers for 13 hours, Davis stood up to block the passage of a bill that would have closed most of the clinics in Texas that provided abortions. That may have been her most famous fight, but Davis has been fighting for women, for healthcare, for communities, and for Texans her whole life. She had her first child while she was still in high school, and then went on to college and then to Harvard Law School. She survived a brutal opposition campaign that tried to keep her out of the Texas state Senate, and eventually ran for governor of Texas. Now she is running to flip the Texas 21st district from red to blue, a seat formerly held for decades by a climate-denying Republican, and now held by a corporate-PAC-funded Trump supporter.
Candidate Virtual Town Halls, Women to Win, and Primaries
by Kaitlyn Newcomb, GWC Editor for Candidate Information
This month, the Candidate Information Action Team is excited to excited to preview an upcoming series of events: our Candidate Virtual Town Halls! The team has been working behind the scenes to connect with campaigns across the U.S. to bring these fabulous women virtually to your screen. Keep an eye on your inboxes and our social media pages to hear more about the candidates who will be joining us and how to attend these virtual events.
Separately, our Women to Win series features two Iowans this month: Theresa Greenfield is running to represent Iowa in the Senate, and Rita Hart is running to serve Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District in the House.
A Framework for Understanding Biden’s VP Pick
By Kaitlynn Newcomb
Yesterday an episode of the FiveThirtyEight podcast, “What Biden’s VP Picks Say About Him,” popped up on my podcast player and I gave it a listen. In it, Perry Bacon Jr., Julia Azari, and Galen Druke discussed the considerations that go into making a vice presidential selection.
The three compared and contrasted the pros and cons of the women considered to be on Biden’s shortlist for VP: Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, and Catherine Cortez Masto, as well as former Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
THE STATE OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN PROJECT
Domestic Violence & Prevalence of Firearms
By Samantha Borzi-Hedges
Every year domestic violence offenders in the US commit more than a million acts of domestic violence. Pair the prevalence of domestic violence with the ease of acquiring a firearm in America and you end up with an average of 52 women shot and killed by an intimate partner every single month--52 women shot and killed monthly. In fact, if a gun is present in the home, the woman is six times more likely to die. Women are more likely to be murdered with a gun by an intimate partner than every other means combined. A note before we continue: women are not the only ones who face domestic violence; however, the vast majority of victims are women.

Why the famous “Hollywood” sign should consider a vacation home in Switzerland.
The unearthly mountain scenery of the Alps has long attracted film-makers. One of the most visually stunning Swiss settings is in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, where Bond (played by George Lazenbee) travels undercover to the mountaintop lair of the villain Blofeld (Telly Savalas), arriving by helicopter at a sparkling, silver-and-glass structure that looks like a flying saucer perched high on an ice-covered peak. The scene was shot at the actual summit of the Schilthorn, where the revolving restaurant called the Piz Gloria has stunning 360 degree vistas of Europe’s highest mountains. Permission to film was granted on condition the producers refurbished the restaurant’s interior and build a helipad, which they did for the then-impressive sum of £60,000 (about US$1.2 million in modern terms). Today, the peak can be reached by cable-car from Mürren, and the space-age restaurant offers Bond-themed meals and excerpts from the movie in the downstairs cinema. The Alps also had starring roles in the adventure film The Eiger Sanction (1975), the historical drama Chaplin (1992), where several scenes were shot in Charlie Chaplin’s actual estate in Vevey, and kitsch comedies such as The Revenge of the Pink Panther (1975), partly shot in the exclusive ski resort of Gstaad. But perhaps the most imaginative use of Alpine scenery was Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, where Switzerland doubled for the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk. In some ways, it was a logical choice: Anyone today taking a cable car or cog railway to the highest reaches of the Alps feels they have been transported to another world. (One Hollywood footnote: the famous 1937 version of Heidi, starring Shirley Temple, was actually shot in the San Bernadino Mountains in California – but its success inspired thousands to visit the Swiss Alps anyway).

Louisiana residents love to escape life for a little while by going for a cruise, and the last thing they expect is to get hurt on their vacation at sea. Nevertheless, every cruise ship is fraught with dangers and sometimes cruisers return home with serious injuries.
Other times, they don’t even make it home because they died in a catastrophic accident on the boat. When situations like this happen, injured vacationers — and family members of vacationers who die — may be able to pursue financial claims that hold the cruise ship company financially responsible for the incident.
Here are some of the most common accidents and injuries that happen on a cruise boat:
Slip-and-fall incidents: A cruise boat is rocking back and forth through the ocean, and it can be full of slippery areas. Combine this with the fact that most cruise boat passengers have not been on the boat long enough to develop their “sea legs” and you have a recipe for slip-and-fall risks. In some cases, a cruise boat will be liable for the slip-and-fall injuries that happen.
Food poisonings: Cruise boats do their best to remain hygienic with it comes to the food they serve, but given the contained environment off the ship, the slightest hygiene mistakes and negligence on the part of the cooks can result in a serious outbreak of food illness.
Missing people: It’s tragic to think of the possibility but some people who go on board a cruise ship never come back to land again because they fall of the boat and get lost at sea. In certain situations, the cruise boat company will be liable for the death of missing persons.
Assault: With so many drunk people on board, it’s not uncommon for cruise ship passengers to become the victims of assault. These passengers may have viable claims for financial restitution relating to their injuries and damages.
Were you hurt on a cruise boat? Explore your legal rights and options now, as the law may be on your side to pursue a legal claim for damages relating to your maritime accident.

What is Hevrei Mitzvot?
We joke that we gather to Kibbitz and Nosh. And while that is true, because food is always a great hook to get people to come to a meeting, there is a little more to it.
Each of us came to embrace Judaism by an individual and unique journey. For some it was early in life and part of the everyday fabric of the family. For others, the journey was a discovery made later on in life. Each of us has our own path. We gather, among other reasons, to support one another in that continuing journey. We share our stories and viewpoints. We discuss what it means to be Jewish in this time and place. We delve into issues of scripture, Jewish law, customs, practices, and of course politics. We teach each other those things that we may not have learned about Jewish practices such as davening, laying tefillin, and reading Torah. We talk and act upon how to make this a better world both for Jews and non-Jews.
And of course we engage in random acts of kindness, mitzvot, tzedaka boxes for bar and bat mitzvahs, volunteering where we can do the most. And we will let no home lack a minyan for shiva.
We are a very diverse group.
We are sons and boyfriends, partners and husbands, fathers and grandfathers.
We are doctors, lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs, writers, artists, teachers, social workers, students, craftsmen, rabbis, and even a poet.
We range from relative youth to those that escaped the holocaust.
The breadth of knowledge, Jewish and otherwise, and life experiences are tremendous and willingly and openly shared.
We are an ordinary group of men, but also an extraordinary gathering of individuals.
We meet on Sunday mornings each month beginning at 9:30 am. For more information, please email David Goldstone or call him at 413-587-0812

This edition contains contributions on topics such as natural inclusion, managing differences of opinion, and new ways of thinking of business as a human endeavour, along with a young activist’s write up of events that have been unfolding in Venezuela. We also have a very interesting article that challenges practices and perceptions of Islamic Banking.
This edition signifies the beginning of the fifth year that Constellations has been published. We have also been re-evaluating our impact and effectiveness over the past year. Considering that this is a purely voluntary effort, and owing to lack of resources, from the next edition onwards we shall be reducing the frequency of the journal from four times a year to twice annually. We look forward to your continued support following this decision.

This edition is packed with important goods on a number of themes important to the Muslim committed to understanding and making social and technological change. This is after all a space where global, regional and scientific politics can converge.

Prairie Pride Coalition, a human rights group in our area. I love it when the arts and social justice come together, and I get to help out! Titled A Different Time, it's a play about how hard it was to be a gay man in "a different time" than now, and it's still hard. But it sure makes me glad of and grateful for all the advances in human and civil rights during my lifetime. If you're local, come hear the reading on Monday, February 23, at 7:30 p.m. at Kemp Hall. It's free. The playwright will be present!
In the meantime, I will be celebrating Valentine's Day by attending the intercity junior high volleyball tournament. Yes, that's what the love of my life will be doing, coaching his still undefeated seventh grade team, and I'll be there! That's another wonderful thing about the times we live in: girls'/women's sports!
There will be chocolate. Beautiful Uptown Normal is having a chocolate walk next week, and I plan to find some chocolate by walking around. I hope I find it at the wine bar! Next week is also my birthday week, people are taking me to lunch the next two Fridays, and I'm gathering with some women writers on Sunday to share love poems and stories--funny or sad--so it's going to be a good February, indeed, even if the bitter cold comes back instead of the annual February thaw I used to enjoy in my college years and beyond.
Escape Into Life, in two features already up and another coming up on Valentine's Day itself. The first was Looking for Love, and the one that went up today is Ready for Love, with paintings by Maude McDonald, including the one you see here, View from Within, and, above, This Piece of Me. I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day, ready or not.

Four busloads of Calumet Park students set out to change the face of their south suburban school district Wednesday morning with new books in their backpacks and old butterflies in their stomachs.
``I`ve been nervous about this day for months,`` said Byron Williams, a 15-year-old sophomore as he waited for a bus to take him from his
predominately black neighborhood to Richards High School, a predominately white school in Oak Lawn.
``It`s hard enough to go to a new school,`` Byron said just before boarding a school bus. ``But we really have it tough because everybody is going to be watching us to see if this whole desegregation thing works. A lot of people who fought the plan are expecting it to fail.``
But if the first day of classes was an indication, the High School District 218 busing plan that has been at the center of a bitter eight-month debate is an initial success.
The first day of school was the ``the smoothest start we`ve had in four years,`` said Dan McAllister, principal of Shepard High School in Palos Heights, one of the schools participating in the plan.
``Things at both schools are even better than we expected,`` said District 218 Supt. Jerry Peterson. ``I think everyone is bending over backward to make sure everything goes smoothly. Even the people who initially opposed the idea now want it to be a success.``
Under the program, 213 freshmen and sophomores from Calumet Park are being bused this year to either Richards or Shepard.
Several Calumet Park parents who fought the plan said they preferred the district`s original boundaries, which sent Calumet Park students to Eisenhower High School, a predominately minority school in neighboring Blue Island.
``I just don`t like the fact that my son has to ride a bus past his old school to go to a school that is more than 10 miles away,`` said Gloria Lewis, whose son, Joe, now attends Richards. ``It would be easier for all of us if he could have stayed at his old school.``
Students on a bus headed for Richards poked their heads through the windows to yell and wave to friends and siblings standing on the Eisenhower campus as they drove past Wednesday morning.
``One of the worst things about this busing plan is that it separates students from their friends and their community,`` said Bobbie Clay, one of five Calumet Park parents who filed suit against the busing program.
Clay, who still opposes the program, followed her daughter`s bus from Calumet Park to Richards and walked the 15-year-old into the school.
``I graduated from Eisenhower in 1969. I have two daughters and a son who are there now. I really wanted my baby Neschelle (White) to go to Eisenhower. That`s where she belongs,`` said Clay, whose eyes welled up with tears as she said goodbye to her daughter in the Richards` foyer.
``If she has to be here I hope she is happy, but I really wish this didn`t have to happen.``
About 10 percent of the 213 students who were supposed to participate in the busing program did not report to either Richards or Shepard Wednesday morning.
``We are not sure if some of the kids who didn`t show up today are transferring to other schools,`` said Romayne Baker, Richards principal. ``We have had parents and students filtering in the building all throughout the day. I suspect a lot of the absent students will come in later in the week.`` Several Calumet Park parents accompanied their children to the Richards and Shepard campuses Wednesday morning, and though many of the adults were having a hard time accepting the busing, their children appeared to be making an easier adjustment.
``This is easier on us than it is on our parents,`` Tonya Booth, 14, a freshman at Richards, said after school. ``I didn`t think that we were going to be welcome, but we were.``

Digging deep to stem heritage horticulture skills shortage
The National Trust has announced plans to step-up its commitment to heritage horticulture with the launch of its new Heritage Gardening Programme.
The programme will, for the first time, offer comprehensive training for all of the conservation charity’s gardening roles.
From volunteer gardeners and trainees to garden managers, it will put in place a formal training structure to provide development opportunities within the organisation.
Training will largely be internally-led through practical courses, structured training completed in the workplace and e-learning platforms.
To complement the training, internal bursaries will be made available to allow gardeners to travel to other properties in order to acquire new skills.
A key part of the programme will be the launch of Heritage Skills Passports, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The passports will provide volunteers and gardeners with the opportunity to acquire a wide range of horticultural skills by tracking the user’s development and linking to available training courses.
Mike Calnan, the National Trust’s head of gardens, said: “The National Trust's Heritage Gardening Programme is a response to the sector's skills shortage, particularly in heritage gardening.
“It offers more entry points into the sector, more opportunities for staff to share their knowledge with colleagues and for the Trust to develop the skills we need in order to look after the 240 heritage gardens in our care.”
This is the second stage in the conservation charity’s revamp of its gardening training programme. Last year the National Trust announced a partnership with the Historic and Botanic Garden Trainee Programme (HBGTP) funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and run by English Heritage.
The HBGTP aims to help sustain and develop the gardeners of the future with its recruitment training programme. The continued partnership with the HBGTP has secured full-time salaried placements for trainee gardeners across 16 of the Trust’s heritage gardens.
Liz Maynard is beginning her gardening career at Sissinghurst this autumn, following a successful two years on the Historic and Botanic Garden Trainee Programme at the garden. She said, “I’m thrilled to be starting my gardening career at Sissinghurst and building on the horticultural skills I gained on the scheme. This is a fantastic place to learn, working alongside such talented and knowledgeable gardeners and having the opportunity to work across a range of projects.”

"They were like, ‘Cartoon in America? Okay. We’ve done everything else, why not?’ Ami and Yumi are comfortable with what they are, and I think they’re just having fun with it. It’s sort of like if Harrison Ford does a Schlitz ad in Japan — he knows that people in the US aren’t really gonna see it. For Ami and Yumi it’s like, ‘Well, we’re still Puffy and we still have our Japanese thing: this is just something for the rest of the world.’ They realize that their animated counterparts are them and at the same time absolutely not them."
As Ami explained, "The cartoon presents a certain image of us, but I think that the differences [between the characters and us] will be figured out."
Ami and Yumi see the show as a means to an end; they want to be taken seriously as performers. "I like recording, performing, recording again, performing again — I love the cycle," Yumi said. And Register is optimistic. "I want them to be a band long after the animation has run its course. And I think they will. Above everything, they’re still a rock-and-roll band." And they also play one on TV.
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi airs on the Cartoon Network in three-episode blocks January 12, 17, and 18 at 9 pm and January 14 and 15 at 7:30pm

I’m in the process of going through my clothes. The plan is to try to figure out all of my outfits for the days leading up to the wedding (and the honeymoon, of course!) within the next couple of days so I can just pack up and move the rest of my wardrobe and be done with it. One of the things I have going on within the next 2 1/2 weeks is another wedding, since we have some friends from church who are getting married a week before us. I’d been planning on wearing my Dahlia dress, but I may have to rethink that, because….
…look what I found on the back when I pulled it out from the under-the-bed storage! I have no idea what this random brown line is, how it got there, or how long it’s been there. All I know is that my initial attempt to scrub it out with soap and water failed.
This led me to examine the dress further. Which was probably a mistake, because the more I look at the top of this in particular, the less happy I am with several aspects of the finishing on this thing. The lining wants to curl to the outside of the bodice, the width of the top of the bodice is wider than the lower edge of the strap, the lining is all puckered because I think I was struggling with learning how to deal with the thread tension on my serger–I’d only had it for a few months at this point. Plus the top of the zipper is a hot mess. In short, there’s several things about it that just look very homemade in the bad way. (I will not call it a certain phrase that Project Runway popularized, because on behalf of all other Beckys in the world that sew, I hereby proclaim that this particular phrase needs to be tossed back into the fiery chasm from whence it came!)
Even if I can’t get this stain out, I think I can salvage this, because guess what–I still have an entire yard of this fabric left! I’d been tossing around the idea of a Sorbetto, but I could quite happily go for using it to remake the top of this dress and see if I can get it better the second time around. I still like the style, but surely with 5 more years of sewing experience, I can improve on those details, right? Or I could just try to get the stain mostly out and at least add a hook and eye to the back to see if that improves the zipper…
I still need to figure out what to wear to that wedding. Maybe my Lonsdale from last summer?
Sans accessories and required garden center work clothes that I’ve already worn this week and therefore need to be washed, I do have outfits picked out for 10 of the next 17 days. Including the rehearsal dinner–another previous me-made, in case you want to know–and the bachelorette party, and a button-down reserved for wearing over my wedding dress while my hair and makeup gets done. (I tested it before, and I didn’t extend the zipper enough to pull it on over my hips. Drat.) Not bad for a night’s work. Now I just need to get half the contents of my closet off of my bed so I can, you know, attempt to sleep tonight.

Answered by Ustadh Salman Younas
Question: Assalam alaykum
My husband has changed his mind about having kids. It has been a very traumatic experience for me as I love him dearly and I want to have a family with him.
1. My husband argues that there is nothing in Islam that says that a married couple must try to have children. Is it true?
2. If I am unable to convince him, is it haram for me to go off birth control without his permission and pretend to have an accidental pregnancy?
Answer: Assalamu alaykum
1. Having children is certainly something encouraged by our religion as evidenced in the Qur’an and sunna. The Qur’an, for example, describes the Prophet Ibrahim (blessings be upon him) as supplicating to God, “My Lord, grant me a child from the righteous.” (37:100)
Similarly, the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) instructed some of his companions to marry those who would bear them children stating, “I will be proud of your great numbers.” [Abu Dawud]
Having children is not only following in the footsteps of past prophetic figures, such as Ibrahim and our Messenger (blessings be upon them), but it is also a blessing in a number of ways. Children are a means for one’s salvation, they are a source of sustenance, and also a form of continual charity for parents. Importantly, having children can be an expression of one’s love for the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) when done with the intention of making him proud of his communities size in the next life.
2. The majority of scholars have stated that a wife’s consent is necessary for any form of birth control – even simple acts of withdrawal (i.e. coitus interruptus). One of the reasons for this is clear: a wife has a right to have children. This is, in fact, one of the main purposes of marriage and for a husband to deny his wife this right is potentially a sin.
As such, your choosing not to carry on with birth control is your decision. With this said, I cannot give any specific advice regarding whether you should simply cease taking birth control without telling your husband. A healthy marriage is based on mutual respect and an openness that is conducive to a healthy relationship. You should speak to your husband openly and stress that having a family is both something the shariah encourages and is a right of yours. He also needs to understand how you feel and the manner in which this will effect the future of your marriage. A third party, such as a reliable marriage counselor and scholar, may also prove helpful in this situation.
If things do not change then you will have to decide what course of action you wish to take. Keep making du`a to God to bless your marriage and facilitate matters for you. You should also perform the istikhara prayer given the seriousness of your situation.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION & RETAIL
When it comes to choosing food, consumers are influenced by taste, price, and convenience. But they also expect greater transparency as to where and how food is grown and who produces the foods they buy. Now, more than ever, consumers are considering whether it aligns with their personal values associated with health, wellness, society and the environment. Foodservice and retail clients rely on Context to help strategically navigate the realities of food production, processing and distribution while ensuring high standards for a safe, sustainable and affordable supply to help them meet their customer and stakeholder expectations.

The City Council is deliberating a plan to establish bicycle lanes along major roads in the city.
Councilor Nesario Awat, chairman of the committee on legal matters and author of ordinance SDR No. 64-2019, is seeking to promote biking as a mode of transportation in the city. The ordinance was brought to the public’s attention as limited transport services were observed during the imposition of lockdowns, which were further reduced in carrying capacity upon the “new normal” standards set.
Awat initially explained that the bicycle lanes might not be feasible as the roads in the city are narrow, citing “preferential” applications for major and secondary roads.
“Hindi naman masasabi na exclusive talaga. When we say exclusive, meaning kung ‘di naman talaga ginagamit puwede rin magamit ng mga four wheels, but there will be a preferential ride on the part of the riders to use it,” Awat said.
Judge Jose Bayani J. Usman, who participated in the public hearing on Wednesday afternoon as a bike enthusiast, expressed concern about the implementation of biking regulations.
“We understand but the problem is ‘yong implementation. Unang-una, wala tayong mga traffic enforcers sa bawat corner so, we cannot really enforce the traffic rules for the preferences of bikers over all other enforcers natin,” Usman said.
Usman also pointed out that certain “undisciplined drivers” may hamper the ease of bike lane utilization.
“Walang disiplina ‘yong mga tricycle drivers dito, including multicab drivers. Kung saan-saan sila humihinto. Sa ibang lugar nagagawa naman nila. I think we can do this on political will on the part of our government,” Usman added.
City Philippine National Police (PNP) director Sergio Vivar Jr. said that he is in full support of the ordinance, but establishments that “provide no parking area” to their customers should be penalized.
“If that lane will be pushed through and we have 1.5 meters each tsaka maririnig natin ‘yang illegal parking na yan, more trouble para lang ma-implement ‘to,” Vivar added.
The ordinance sits at the second reading pending the Council’s concurrence on the recommendations discussed during the public discussion.

In this first week of June, when the blue skies have been almost dazzling and the temperatures have soared to the mid-thirties, I’ve spent lots of time outside enjoying the sunshine and lots of time inside, trying desperately to cool down again. I’m not very good with the heat – well, not when there’s no sea to hop into – but I can’t complain about having the opportunity to sit in the sunshine and enjoy cold drinks with friends.
This week, I met up with fellow Wiesbaden blogger Annie at the lovely Haselnuss farm shop in the Westend. Since it was our first date, I don’t have a photo of her enormous pear and chocolate brownie, but I believe it comes highly recommended. I also enjoyed a very refreshing strawberry, mint and lime lemonade at Du & Ich; and a wonderfully thick chocolate ice cream and fresh banana milkshake (and, yes, a very tasty cheese and bacon burger) at Jodena’s Diner, Seerobenstrasse (between Sedanplatz and Dürerplatz in Wiesbaden), which opened on Saturday.
It started really heating up here on Friday afternoon, when I hid with friends and babies at the Wellritz Café on Wellritzstrasse, ignoring the lovely sunny terrace to sit inside, where it was a little cooler as well as virtually empty. We enjoyed our food – I had a really good vegetarian chilli – whilst our little ones scrambled up slides and fell head-first into boxes of giant lego.
This afternoon we were treated – and I mean really treated – to a very late lunch (or very early dinner) at Weingut & Weinstube Kruger-Rumpf in the Mainz-Bingen village of Münster-Sarmsheim, where the heat in the flower-filled courtyard was rather stifling but the traditional German dishes were as light and elegant in portions and flavour as it’s probably possible to make them. I’m tempted to go on about how good my cold roast beef with green sauce was, not to mention the mini crème brûlée, but I’m planning to write about it all in detail soon, so it’ll have to wait for today (update: review now up!). Also, I have a feeling my computer’s about to burst into flames if I don’t let it rest. Tomorrow it’s forecast to be hotter than Africa – I think I’m going to relocate to the cellar.
