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

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

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

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

Strategy: Knox Forex offers 5 different robots, each with a different strategy ranging from swing trading, support and resistance trading, Heiken Ashi, hedging, metal trading.
These results are not real Knox Forex EA results, just demo. It offers just a measly 30% gain with a 41% drawdown, yuck no thanks! It also appears to be using martingale where their site claims its using Heiken Ashi with custom indicators. Sure that’s great but it’s still martingale.

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

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

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

Rae Begley’s photography practice seeks to document majestic landscapes, a quietening of frenetic situations and intimacy within the every day.
Her reportage style photographs are shot hand held in available light and utilise the nuances of the analogue process. The natural grain of the film encourages an energy, movement or stillness in her subject.
Begley’s photography practice is primarily focussed on working with 120mm and 35mm film formats to produce medium to large scale printed works.
The works maintain a delicate balance of strength and fragility.
Rae Begley was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and is now based in Coledale, NSW.

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

During these challenging times, we believe it is especially important to reach out to those in need. In 2010, our team members did a great job of supporting local charities through our monthly jeans day fundraisers and annual United Way campaign. By wearing jeans we were able to raise over $1,000 that went to the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula, Catholic Charities, Meals on Wheels, Children & Families First, Saint Anthony’s Senior Center, Faithful Friends, Read Aloud Delaware, Alex’s Lemonade Stand and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. We also raised approximately $8,200 for the United Way of Delaware that will support many nonprofit organizations in our local area.

both to ‘s-Hertogenbosch and to the idea of the itinerant stalker. The lone creature slinking in to the activities at the centre of the city. But in this case not hidden while seeking its pray. Instead the wolves come in the disguise of natural outsiders: Tinkers, beggars, buskers, pedlars, thieves, rouges, vagabonds and travelling players. Outcast who during a festival are allowed a place at the edge.
of the Boulardvards Festival, which is centred in the cathedral square. In this potent atmosphere of much older times. The ghost of Hieronymus can be felt at our sides, watching our miniature Mystery Plays. (see HIERONYMUS: A MODEST PROPOSAL). We work the rim of the event in shifts. Occupying the ground for a day each then sharing a half day and passing the pitch onto the next wolf. Thus offering a modest shape shifting presence of great uncertainly to the crowds who pass by. Who are confused, entertained, amused, shocked and bewildered by our pilgrimage of side-shows.

Sweet mango is ideal for frozen treats because it's luscious texture doesn't get very icy once frozen. Blended juice, it's an especially tropical treat. But we're not stopping at the fruit and citrus. No, we're kicking it up a notch with bits of jalapeño. The sweet mango blunts the sharp heat of the avocado. You'll definitely get a warm tingle from the pepper, but it's a delight to eat. You will come back for seconds (maybe thirds). After all, they're only 50 calories a pop.
Don't turn your nose up at this punchy pop. The heat of the jalapeño and the floral fruitiness of the mango are a delightful pair.
In a blender, combine the mango, water, zest, and juice. Blend until smooth. Stir in jalapeno pieces.
Pour into pop molds. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
*Water is a freebie ingredient.

Do you constantly ask yourself, “Can I do this?” Wondering if you are brave enough, worthy enough, trained enough, financially stable enough, committed enough, or understood enough to take on whatever it is you desire?
If you are being true to yourself, then you are simply VALID ENOUGH.
Recently I learned that the part of our brain that makes decisions is also of the same region that controls our feelings, yet is different from the part of the brain that controls language. So we may experience a strong “gut instinct” or feeling to pursue something, but we can't really find the right words to explain it, even to ourselves, our closest friends, our family members, and our trusty confidantes.
Yet, I knew in my heart that I needed to do each of these things to keep pushing in the direction of my dreams, living my purpose, and sharing my gifts with the world. And as time passed, each of these leaps became incredibly valuable to my new venture.
Now, I want you to try it.
It’s simple. It’s powerful. It's non-negotiable to get to where you truly want to be.
Believe in yourself! You are limitless. Spend a few moments today, right now, or this weekend letting your daydreams take you on a journey to living your own unique purpose.
If there's one thing the world needs more of, it's happy people. And doing work you feel deeply connected to is one way to bring a lot more joy into your life, so that you can share it with others.
Let me know in a comment below what you’re dreaming up. I’m here to cheer you on, friends.

Patio dining at La Spiga in Palm Desert Our recent dining experience at La Spiga Ristorante Italiano started with an email from one of my clients. “You always do such a nice job reviewing local restaurants and I am interested in your opinion about La Spiga Ristorante Italiano in Palm Desert,” Julie wrote.
The truth is, my husband, Bill, and I stopped in one evening a couple of years ago when driving by. La Spiga was packed and - without having made a reservation (highly recommended!) - we went elsewhere and frankly forgot about coming back. You see, La Spiga is a hidden gem that’s tucked away from highway 111 in Palm Desert and, in our case, it became one of those “out of sight out of mind” cases.
Thank you, Julie, for jogging our memory. We simply loved La Spiga! La Spiga is a Tuscan-style villa that’s surrounded by rose gardens, herb beds and fruit trees. The patio wraps around the entire building, offering a lovely view of the nearby mountains. We highly recommend that you enjoy La Spiga’s patio (or deck as some refer to it) to maximize your dining experience. Last night, most of the diners were, indeed, taking advantage of the lovely outdoor dining opportunity.
Our server, Aubrey, was fairly new to La Spiga, having been there just two months. But we could tell she was very well trained. It is indeed rare in this day and age for a restaurant to actually invest the time and effort to thoroughly train their wait staff. Aubrey’s service was spot-on and friendly.
For starters I ordered Calamari Fritti. It was crispy and served on a bed of marinated, julienned cucumbers, with a green tomatillo reduction. Bill and I agreed that this was one of, if not the best, calamari dishes we’ve ever tasted. The calamari was prepared perfectly. It was not oily or greasy, nor was it chewy. What really set this dish apart, though, was the chef’s use of cucumbers and reduction sauce. Aubrey suggested that we take the chef’s recommendation and mix the elements with the calamari. In one word, superb!
Bill’s chose the artichoke with mascarpone soup of the day for his appetizer. The flavor blends were perfect and, frankly, we passed our starters back and forth between each other several times since they were both delicious.
For his main course Bill choose the Pappardelle Con Ragu Di Buffalo. This entrée featured pappardelle pasta with Bolognese style in house-ground buffalo tenderloin with red wine reduction. Bill likes the health aspects of buffalo compared to beef, and this dish, again, was enjoyed from start to finish. A real highlight was having leftovers for lunch the next day!
Bing partial to seafood I choose the Risotto Al Pescatore. This dish featured an abundance of seasonal seafood with just the right amount of tomato sauce. Perfection for me personally would have been just a bit more risotto, but the abundance of seafood and wonderful flavors more than made up for it.
I think you’ll agree that La Spiga’s wine list offers a wide selection of wines across a wide array of prices. Enjoy a glass with your Italian dinner or, better yet, share a bottle around the table; you won’t be disappointed!
In summary, the atmosphere and service at LaSpiga’s was top notch. We will definitely be returning to La Spiga several times during the season.
Chef owner Vince Cultraro and his wife/hostess Connie Cultraro, can certainly be proud of La Spiga.
La Spiga Ristorante Italiano is located at 72-557 Hwy 111 in Palm Desert. (760) 340-9318.

The Cancer Assassin: Never a dull moment in the life of The Cancer Assassin!
I am really sorry for your dilemma but you may be overlooking some easy things you can do that do not cost anything. The four areas of cancer prevention are (basically) nutrition...namely a more plant-based diet, meditation, affirmations and physical exercise. even if you choose to do radiation or another "more conventional" type of therapy, these four things can easily be implemented into your routine.
Making lifestyle choices will also empower you (it did for me) in that you will be actively DOING something to reduce your cancer "machine".
Please feel free to e-mail me privately or whatever if you want some help getting started.

Recently, I came across a website that appeared to be in the honeymoon business. A smiling couple in their 60s was sitting on the deck of a cruise ship, gazing rapturously at each other as the wind whipped through their hair. The next photo showed a group of attractive young adults laughing over martinis. A pair of women chatting over fancy hors d’oeuvres scrolled underneath.
I blinked. A funeral home defined by smiles and sunny images? Was this modern marketing having the final say or was something deeper playing between the lines?
I decided to visit Distinctive Life to learn more. Two polished women greeted me chirpily, the foyer exuding a hybrid of chic hair salon and art exhibit. On the walls hung candid blow-ups of people laughing large, the colors vibrant. Chests of diamond rings and blown glass lined the hallway – gifts for the bereaved, the reps explained, created out of human ashes.
Intuitive enough and the market agrees. Business has ballooned since its beginnings in 2012, and the requests get creative. One minister recorded himself on a video to officiate his own funeral. Another was a softball player and asked for her memorial service to be held in the field with the guests signing a ball. A firefighter’s family put his ashes in an urn that was the shape of a fireman’s helmet.
Friedman is a successful player in an industry that is the latest to skim the wave of entrepreneurs looking to innovate in untapped fields.
According to CNBC, death care in this country now rakes in $17 billion per year. What’s new is the social acceptance to treat it as a competitive market.
His enterprising, can-do spirit stands out in a sphere historically shrouded by hush and tears. In a society that flees death with distinction, a business devoted to innovating on its occasion is attracting the masses. I wasn’t sure whether to applaud his genius or recoil.
On the one hand I totally get the need to recreate in a space that’s suffocated by traditionalism sans heart. A truly human life needs a certain level of personalized space, and personalized honoring. Planting a garden for a funeral to be hosted there is a beautiful thing to do for someone who loved roses.
But honoring a person and frosting their end are two distinct things. And it seems we’ve lost a taste for the former as our options for decorating have proliferated. One Distinctive Life rep waxed enthusiastic about serving chocolate-covered strawberries at a reception. “You may never have known that your grandma loved chocolate-covered strawberries!” the rep said.
I couldn’t help but wonder whether people who loved her would really care what her favorite beach was. It seemed a superficial misfire to send friends and family to one’s preferred vacation spot, or to put so much hope in the ability of chocolate-covered strawberries to convey the arc of a life.
It felt like Facebook was having the last word, our attraction to curating one’s image based on consumer identity ruling the roost. Can we no longer agree on communal practices that more deeply acknowledge a person’s inner life and contributions?
Today we have a zillion tools at our disposal to shape the image of someone or something, and there is a tacit pressure to put a smiling patina on most things, almost regardless of their character.
To the degree that “the doom and gloom” of traditional services robs communities of a fuller commemoration of life in all its ebbs, I understand the impulse behind Distinctive Life’s sunnier imagination.
The only puncture I’d lend is a reminder that happy doesn’t equal beauty. The greatest love stories, the most enduring pieces of art and the most admirable biographies all contain a mixture of pain, glory and lots of meanders in between.
Life’s bookends – birth and death – offer a rare glimpse of the vulnerability that lies at the core of each one of us. Honesty before this meaningful human fact can be comforted by chocolate, but probably shouldn’t be covered by it.

So here is a working example of what I was talking about in my last blog post- making Photoshop automation possible without needing to use the win32com module.
This specific example is not cross-platform compatible. It relies on getting the Photoshop application through it's registry entry, but the subprocess module is cross platform so it shouldn't be too hard to hammer this into a shape that can be used on Mac and PC. Or just Mac. Or whatever.
Essentially there is no real magic going on here, just lots of string manipulation behind the scenes. Like I said in my last post, the biggest hole in this right now is the lack of feedback from Photoshop, but that's something I'm looking into when I get a few spare minutes here and there.
And the code! This is a particularly long snippet. Hang in there!
Once the string has been assembled, it is added to the _commands_list object, along with any other commands that will eventually be called.
-Calls the Photoshop executable with the jsx as an argument.
Set up the application path, temp file location and our commands list.
# to the temp jsx file.
Find and return the location of the Photoshop exe from it's registry entry.
I do this because its more robust than an assumed absolute path.
# I use Photoshop V12.0 64x. Change this to whatever version you are using.
Generic method to add commands to the list.
After this is done, empty the command list.
print "No commands to compile."
Call this to make sure the command list is clean.
- Call to Compile the commands in the command list.
# This is the magic part. Subprocess calls Photoshop with the jsx as an arg.
# functions begin to take up a lot of lines very quickly.
Adds a new layer set to the currently active document.
# Because it has the option of adding a fill and a parent.
# With this setup, I'm going to make a new document with a new layerSet.
# Clean the command list first.
# Now add a layer set, making My Wonderful Layerset it's parent.
# Execute the lot of them by calling the Photoshop application.

If you are a carriage operator, chances are you have multiple liability exposures that can be most effectively covered through a Commercial General Liability Policy (CGL). Insurance professionals encounter a vast array of insureds and operations when insuring this risk, from the owner-operator with one vis-à-vis doing the occasional wedding to the commercial hack service in large metropolitan areas employing a small army of drivers who pick riders up at curbside for a tour of the city’s historic downtown district. While the loss exposures vary between insureds, the need for liability insurance remains constant.
Because of the oftentimes unpredictable nature of horses and the risk it presents for bodily injury or property damage, standard insurance carriers have been reluctant to insure these exposures. Usually, carriage liability insurance is placed through a brokerage or a surplus lines agent with an admitted insurance carrier in the state the carriage operator conducts his or her business in.
Insurance companies use actuarials, along with loss experience in a certain class of business, to determine liability rates for a given industry. Underwriter discretion, as well as an insured’s loss history, can play an additional role in determining an individual’s premium pricing. Carriage operators can assist in creating an environment that attempts to minimize and control loss exposures by being proactive in the management of their companies and reducing or eliminating areas of their operations that present high loss potential.
Many insureds choose to have safety and training programs they require their drivers to complete before they can operate on public roads. Having first aid kits on board the carriage, or drivers/assistants trained in first aid, are also ways to reduce the size of losses, should one occur. Having standard safety procedures, such as always having a driver maintain contact with the lines, or having a header for the horse when customers are loading or unloading are just a few additional steps that responsible operators can take to ensure they are providing a safe environment for their drivers, their customers and the general public.
There are multiple reasons why this is of interest to each and every carriage operator, whether your company is loss-free or loss-laden. Losses in a small niche market industry, like carriage operators liability, can lead to industry-wide rate increases. As a line of business experiences more losses it becomes unprofitable for a company to insure. When the loss ratios exceed profitability for the company they are presented with two options: Discontinue writing that line of business, or take an industry-wide rate increase to offset the loss volume.
Often, the first step will be a rate increase, and the second step will be the carrier exiting the market. The ramifications of this can be broad; carriage operators will find it increasingly more expensive to insure their businesses, minimum premiums rise which makes it difficult for small operators to be profitable and justify the operation costs associated with doing this type of business, and, in the event a carrier exits the market, all carriage operators are left with one less option of where to find a viable program to insure their liability risks. Along with the negative insurance effects of high claim volume, public opinion can become adversely affected when individuals and businesses start to view the horse-drawn carriages on their streets or in their parking lots as a high risk to their property or person. The importance of public perception in a time of high industry scrutiny cannot be overlooked.
As an industry, it is more important than ever for carriage operators to band together and provide adequate resources for the new start-up company and veteran operator alike. Networks that facilitate the sharing of safety tips, ideas, and procedures should be cultivated. Those networks and affiliate groups that already exist should be nurtured. Equine professionals, and their resources, should be tapped to provide knowledgeable expertise in the areas of safety and loss control.
Consult your insurance agent about what you can do to minimize your liability exposures. If he or she doesn’t fully understand your operations, find another agent who does. For the horse-drawn carriage operators out there, this is your industry and your passion, it is up to us all to do our due diligence to ensure losses are kept to a minimum so that the future of carriage operators, the availability of insurance programs, and the opportunities for the public to experience a bit of equine recreation remain constant and secure.

Isolates of a common poultry pathogen collected from animals in Indian bird markets were mostly resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics. The study provides the first data on prevalence and isolation of Helicobacter pullorum in India. The research is published November 4 in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
In the study, the investigators sequenced the genomes of 11 isolates of the pathogen, H. pullorum, from broiler and free range chickens from markets in Hyderabad, India. Each contained five or six well characterized antimicrobial resistance genes. The isolates were resistant to fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, and macrolide antibiotics, as well as others. Additionally, they produced extended spectrum β-lactamases, enzymes that rendered them resistant to penicillin family antibiotics.
Virulence screening identified 182 important virulence genes in the isolates.
Coauthor Niyaz Ahmed, PhD, professor of biotechnology and bioinformatics, University of Hyderabad, India, said that H. pullorum could potentially be pathogenic in poultry and in humans, and explained that cases have been reported of human enteric disease caused by this bacterium. He also said that it carries a toxin that can interfere with the cell cycle, and cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer.
H. pullorum could become a public health concern, said Ahmed, because of the cancer-causing potential, and because "in countries like India, H. pullorum from poultry could be multi-resistant already because of the prevailing animal husbandry practices."
The lack of research on the prevalence of H. pullorum in India provided the impetus for the study, said Ahmed. "We targeted wet market poultry outlets for our sampling, keeping in mind that poultry in India are often fed with antibiotics to promote weight gain. These practices most likely boost spread of drug-resistant pathogens among animals and humans, posing a significant public health risk."
"Our study suggests that chickens could be a major source for transmission of emerging MDR pathogen, H. pullorum, from poultry to humans," the investigators concluded. Additionally, they wrote, the study strongly supports the hypothesis that this species is an emerging pathogen, as it is closely related to established pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni. Given the prevalence of H. pullorum in Indian chicken, as described in the study, the half billion Indians who eat chicken, and the fact that chicken consumption is growing at a huge 12 percent per year, the potential for spreading multi-drug resistance is "alarming," the researchers wrote.

Why are Brow & Eyelid Surgeries Requested?
An aging forehead has a negative effect on our facial expressions. We may always look exhausted, bothered, or mad because of a sagging and heavily furrowed brow. There are also individuals who look as if they are frowning, even if they feel the exact opposite. These individuals have genetically heavier and thicker brows, making them appear perpetually sad or mad despite feeling otherwise.
Aging can also change the appearance of our eyelids. Our skin slowly loses its elasticity as it ages, making excess skin accumulate on our upper and lower eyelids due to insufficient elasticity and the constant pull from gravity. Excessive lower eyelid skin results in wrinkles and bulges, while additional folds on the upper eyelids that hang over the eyelashes can impede one’s field of vision. Additionally, bulges in the upper and lower eyelids can be brought about by the protective layer of fat between the eyeball and the skull.
Brow Lift vs. Eyelid Surgery: What is the Difference?
Brow lifts and blepharoplasty procedures are distinct from each other. A brow lift enhances the appearance of one’s forehead and the area at the top of their brows. It can also enhance the area near a patient’s nose. Furthermore, an eyelid lift enhances an individual’s orbital area. The procedure reaches from their cheekbone to the brow bone. Blepharoplasty also eliminates excessive upper lid skin and fat. However, it does not directly alter eyebrow appearance.
What are the Different Procedures Available for the Brow & Eyelid?
Dr. Sedgh offers various brow and eyelid procedures that address the concerns above. These surgical procedures are listed and discussed below.
The primary focus of Asian eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery is on the patient’s upper eyelid. This procedure removes excess skin and fat and creates a crease in the area. Asian blepharoplasty is a common procedure performed in East Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan.
A brow & forehead lift elevates soft tissue and skin to enhance the appearance of these areas including the orbital area of the face. This procedure lessens wrinkle lines across the forehead and the nose bridge and improves frown lines. Brow and forehead lifts also elevate sagging brows and sets the eyebrows to emulate an alert and youthful appearance.
Surgeons perform an eyelid lift on patients in order to correct saggy or droopy eyelids and eliminate excessive eyelid skin. This surgical procedure is useful for improving older people’s eyesight, especially if their vision gets impeded by sagging skin on the upper eyelids.
Similar to an eyelid lift, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty also corrects droopy eyelids. It can also require excessive skin, muscle, and fat removal. Your eyes can look younger and more alert through upper and lower eyelid surgery.
Forehead contouring can completely change the appearance of one’s forehead. Thus, it is deemed as a genuinely useful surgical approach. The procedure requires forehead and orbital bone shaping in order to eliminate the ridge and open up orbital appearance. It also creates a softer and more naturally feminine appearance.
With its primary focus on restoring male eyebrow and forehead symmetry, a male brow lift requires both surgical excision and forehead skin tightening. It can be a possible solution for male patients who want to lessen wrinkles and furrowed brows on their forehead.
Male eyelid surgery helps male patients appear refreshed by eliminating droopy eyelids and eye bags. Surgeons remove or reposition excessive tissue during this procedure, which aids patients in achieving a more vibrant appearance. Depending on the patient’s specific needs, doctors can perform male blepharoplasty on a patient’s upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both parts.
What Should You Expect from a Brow or Eyelid Surgery?
Once you decide to undergo a particular brow or eyelid procedure, you will have to go through three phases: an initial consultation, the actual procedure, and the recovery process. Each stage is thoroughly discussed below.
Dr. Sedgh also offers virtual consultations for out-of-town and international patients. His office can also help patients arrange hotel accommodations, car rental, aftercare, and concierge services before and after the operation.
Both brow and eyelid procedures are classified as outpatient procedures. For brow surgery procedures, surgeons use either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia to perform these types of surgeries. On the other hand, doctors who perform eyelid procedures will possibly use local anesthesia with oral sedation.
Brow procedures use different techniques. For instance, Dr. Sedgh can perform a brow and forehead lift using an open or an endoscopic method. But for male brow lifts, he can utilize various techniques such as trichophytic and coronal brow lifts. The doctor can also use the transblepharoplasty technique for a male brow lift. In terms of forehead contouring, the brow bone and other structural brow and forehead components will be restored and reshaped until Dr. Sedgh achieves the desired result.
Eyelid procedures vary in approach as well depending on the patient’s eye conditions. Asian blepharoplasty can be done using an incision or a suture technique. Upper eyelid surgery eliminates skin and fat using incisions, while lower eyelid surgery can require a transconjunctival approach. This pertains to incisions that are made precisely under the patient’s lash line or in their eyelid.
Depending on the procedure, brow surgery recovery times may vary. Most brow lift patients will be able to come back to school or work within ten days, while male brow lift patients can take about 10-14 days to recover. If you have undergone forehead contouring, you can completely recover within one to two weeks while still being able to perform regular activities within several days.
Furthermore, blepharoplasty recovery usually takes several weeks. Asian eyelid surgery recovery generally occurs between a week to ten days.
Dr. Sedgh will personally observe and evaluate patients’ surgical results, physical condition, and overall health throughout the recovery process. By doing so, he is making sure that they recovery properly. The doctor will arrange a few post-operative appointments beginning from the day after surgery until one year post-op. These appointments can be conducted in person or via video conferencing.
Why Should You Choose Dr. Sedgh?
Dr. Jacob Sedgh is a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon who is highly reputable for patient care and excellent results. He integrates both proficiency in medical knowledge and surgical expertise with the attention and perfectionism of a sculptor. These aspects allow him to provide highly personalized patient care, while mostly keeping compassion and concern for the patient in mind.
Dr. Sedgh’s excellent understanding of facial aesthetics influences each cosmetic or reconstructive treatment that he performs on patients. This lets him create procedures that are particularly suited to the client, leading to a successful result and experience that surpasses every client’s expectations.
Dr. Sedgh has performed a wide variety of brow and eyelid surgeries on patients living in Beverly Hills and abroad. The gallery below shows the before and after pictures of patients who have undergone each of these cosmetic procedures, from upper blepharoplasty to endoscopic osteoma removal.
If you are looking to undergo a brow or an eyelid surgery in Los Angeles, you may want to consider contacting Dr. Sedgh’s office for an initial consultation. With his expertise, you can successfully achieve your desired results.

Plastic surgeon Dr Julia Berkei found the ideal location for her surgery in the centre of Frankfurt, metropolis on the river Main. Situated in a core-renovated historical building, the generous premises allowed the doctor to create a pleasant environment for her select clients that reflects her very own style.
Not that long ago, surgical correction of physical characteristics was considered the privilege of the rich and famous. Now that a perfect body is increasingly seen as an expression of success, expectations of the results delivered by aesthetic and plastic-reconstructive surgeons are very high. Dr Berkei therefore considers initial consultations of supreme importance and wants them to take place in an atmosphere in which future patients are bound to feel good.
Long-standing experience has given Dr Berkei the confidence to put herself in charge of the design of her new surgery premises in Frankfurt am Main. She repeatedly travelled to Italy to track down individual pieces for furniture made by top-quality manufacturers. The generous floor plan on the third floor of the historical building in a prime city centre location provides the requisite space for the beautiful furniture. The modern, almost playful, lighting concept and the minimalist office furniture system in white, which also dominates the reception, provide a welcome contrast.
Constructed in the second half of the 19th century, the stately residential and commercial building was hit by a WWII aircraft bomb which inflicted great damage to the upper floors. Due to the housing shortage in the 1950s, the building was quickly repaired, involving visible interference in the interior and exterior structure. After more than 70 years of compromise, the owner decided to embark on a core renovation to allow the building to blend in with today’s ambience of the Goethestrasse area.
Despite the modern conversion, Dr Berkei had the firm intention to revive the former grace of the building, at least within the confines of her surgery. She had all of the doors rebuilt in the original style and selected the oak parquet floor with herringbone pattern that was prevalent at the time. The special feature of the surgery’s Unopark floor in warm Tabacco hues is its used look. The floor comes with signs of wear and tear that convey its authentic character and natural grace.
The floor perfectly complements the surgery’s unusual furniture selection and modern office equipment. Its oiled surface complies with the hygienic requirements of a modern surgery. More extensive operations are performed in hospitals. Ms Berkei received technical assistance from architect Carsten Eisenecker, Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, who was in charge of the building’s overall renovation. Mr Eisenecker advised Dr Berkei on the implementation of the layout programme. This included, for instance, direct access to the external lift at the backside of the building to safeguard the patients’ privacy.

The TrustTheVote Project team is comprised of social entrepreneurs who are also seasoned technologists with extensive hardware, software, and systems design experience. The TrustTheVote Project is a flagship initiative of the nonprofit OSET Institute, co-founded by Gregory Miller and John Sebes following the mid-term elections of 2006.
The OSET Institute is not a think tank doing a study. And we’re not about lobbying politicians for change. We are change agents. We are building an election technology framework called ElectOS that election officials can freely adopt, adapt and deploy to run on commodity hardware. While the software layer is a public asset and freely available, of course the adaptation, integration, deployment, service and support will be provided by commercial vendors.
Learn more about the OSET mission on the Institute’s corporate website.
Our software is already at work.
The Presidential Commission on Elections Administration (PCEA) featured our voter services technology in the President’s Final Report; portions of ElectOS software already are the basis for Virginia’s voter services portal.

South African President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday survived a no confidence motion by secret ballot.
Parliament Speaker Baleka Mbete announced that 198 MPs voted against the motion, while 177 voted in favour and nine abstained, Xinhua reported.
MPs of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) burst into applause when the result was announced.
Opposition MPs walked out of the chamber, looking crestfallen.
Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane vowed to continue the struggle to remove Zuma from office.
Hundreds of anti-Zuma protesters who gathered outside Parliament, anxiously waiting for the result, expressed disappointment over the outcome.
However, crowds of ANC supporters waiting outside Parliament were jubilant when hearing the news.
“This was a victory not only for Zuma but also for the ANC and the country,” Swowan Laura, a middle school teacher, told Xinhua.
Zuma has survived eight no confidence motion in the past seven years. But this was the first time that a no confidence motion was conducted through secret ballot.
Opposition parties had been pushing for a secret ballot so as to encourage ANC MPs to support the motion.
After Mbete gave the green light to the secret ballot on Monday, the ANC said it has full confidence in the loyalty of the ANC MPs when voting in the no confidence motion.
“We do not nor have we ever doubted their loyalty and discipline in relation to the decisions of the movement,” the ANC said.
The result of Tuesday’s voting once again showed the unity of the ANC and the loyalty of ANC MPs to the organisation, an ANC MP said on condition of anonymity.
He said that by defeating the motion, South Africa has avoided anarchy.
Under the Constitution, if Zuma was removed, the whole cabinet would resign, and if no candidate was chosen from MPs within 30 days to succeed Zuma, general elections would be held in 90 days.
The ANC has warned that any of its MPs who support the anti-Zuma no confidence motion risk being disciplined by the party, insisting that removing Zuma from office would not be in the best interest of the country.
After the vote, the ANC congratulated the Parliament for its robust engagement in the National Assembly that resulted in the “resounding defeat” of the motion of no confidence in Zuma and the cabinet.
The ANC regards it as paramount that not just the elected representatives, but all South Africans are able to engage on the most critical issues facing the country without fear of favor, ANC national spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said.

I need to move from my current shared hosting provider and move to a server. So I guess my main question is what steps do I need to take to host a website on a dedicated server? We are currently using cPanel on our shared hosting account.
Psychz Networks offers a wide range of dedicated servers with managed services. If you order a server with "Managed services" our support team would be glad to help you in migrating your data as well as setting up your server. But if you choose "Self-managed" services, you will have to take care of the migration process.
Now, if you are currently on a shared hosting server and want to move to a dedicated server, the easiest way to do so is to set up cPanel on the dedicated server. With the help of cPanel, you can easily migrate your data from shared server hosting to the dedicated server. But cPanel comes at an additional cost because of the license fee. And at this point you want to save some money and want to buy a plain dedicated server for your HTML based website.
Hence, you can set it up by following steps given below.
We recommend installing CentOS 7 on your machine as it is easy to use and widely popular in the market and the latest version.
Now you must copy your website code to your server. You can transfer files from your local machine using a client like "Filezilla" as it is very easy to use. The default location where apache2 will look for is "/var/www/html" . Once you transfer the files on your server under the desired location, you should be able to access your website with the IP address of your server.
Finally, you should map your domain name to this machines IP address. This can be done by adding an ‘A’ record to your domain.

This is the second Project Life process video in this series. The challenge is to choose five products from your stash to use in a layout. Simple as that!
Only guidelines are that ALL products must appear somewhere in your layout – you don’t have to use up whole packets of things though! The five chosen products cannot be from the same collection, nor can they be five of the same thing (eg. five sheets of stickers).
Please join me as I scrap my stash, I would love to see links to your own Grab 5 layouts!

This is a 2 foot set. Set includes a 2.5mm and a 4.0mm.
Piping is a great accent for tailored detailing on garments and home decor items – in contrast colors, stripes, etc. The deep grooves in the feet guide the piping so it is inserted tightly into the seam line.
Attach strand pearls or beads in a straight or curved line anywhere on the fabric. Take the foot to the next level by inserting piping tightly into the seam or couching trims and braids.

Now in its eighth year, the Clifford Chance Access to Justice Award is a donation of money and time by the Clifford Chance Foundation, to a charitable organisation that promotes access to justice.
Clifford Chance has a longstanding commitment to access to justice, one of the three key pillars in its pro bono activities alongside access to finance and access to education.
The award is open to not-for-profit organisations that help individuals, groups or communities use the law to achieve significant social impact. Applicants should be involved in some way with the legal process to improve social justice in their communities.
The winning organisation will receive a donation of £50,000 from the Foundation and 500 hours of pro bono and volunteering work from lawyers and Business Services professionals across the Firm.
Nominations are now closed. The winner will be selected by a judging panel comprising senior representatives from our existing strategic pro bono partners, our client base, together with partners from Clifford Chance.
Clifford Chance named AdvocAid as the winner in our 2016 annual Access to Justice Award. The charity will received a £50,000 donation and 500 hours of pro bono support towards its mission of ensuring that all women and children in the criminal justice system of Sierra Leone can access their full legal and human rights.
AdvocAid's work involves a combination of hands-on legal aid, innovative outreach programmes and tight collaboration with the justice sector. Clifford Chance's support has come from across the business including lawyers and business services employees with a wide range of relevant skills and expertise. This included providing training for ActionAid's paralegals and young lawyers, research into Sierra Leone's police complaints procedures, and assisting with the development of a strategy for corporate fundraising.
Simitie Lavaly, Executive Director of AdvocAid said: "In Sierra Leone, under-funding and corruption have weakened the foundations of the justice system, and structural and cultural problems lead to girls and women being particularly vulnerable. Furthermore, since the Ebola outbreak, critical funds have been diverted to rebuild the health and education sectors, making it increasingly difficult to secure funding for legal aid. We are delighted and honoured that Clifford Chance has chosen AdvocAid for its 2016 Access to Justice Award and look forward to working with its lawyers and other staff to drive forward some of our most exciting projects to date."

On 30 November, 600 or so representatives of political parties from around the world descended in Beijing to attend a ‘high-level dialogue’ between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the world’s political parties – nearly 300 of them. They were treated with banquets, probably dances and songs too, in the company of members of the Politburo.
The roster of the 300 parties reads like a list of the Workers’ Parties and People’s Parties from the communist bloc of the Cold War era, sending congratulations to Chairman Mao every so often. But in 2017, more embellishment was needed for the theatre: in attendance were ‘VIPs’ representing the United States’ Republican Party, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party, France’s Republican Party, Canada’s Liberal Party, and alas, the UK’s Conservative Party.
The attendees toured the Party School, and by way of an exhibit, were lectured on the Party’s achievements over the last five years. They heard General Secretary Xi Jinping’s keynote speech calling for collaboration for a world free of fear and poverty; his catch phrase has been “a community of a shared future for mankind.” Seminars were held to highlight China’s contributions to the world, while chastising Western democracies for overlooking and downplaying China’s greatness. According to state media, participants gave rousing speeches extolling the CCP’s superior leadership both at home and aboard, China’s contribution to world development and peace, and China’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI).
But something else was also going on in Beijing, as the 600 politicians bathed in CCP’s magnanimous hospitality: around the capital’s outer suburban belt, up to 200,000 migrant workers in over 100 localities were evicted by force in a matter of a few days, sometimes overnight. Men and women, old and young, took what meagre belongings they could carry and trudged out into the sub-zero weather, to train stations that took them back to the villages they had come from, to other temporary lodgings to get their bearings, and through the streets. For those slow to move, their shops were smashed and homes raided by uniformed police or militia. Bulldozers soon came and razed everything into big heaps of rubbish.
The mass expulsion of Beijing has only just begun. Two million will be forced to leave Beijing by 2020, according to municipal planning authorities. Other large urban centres will see the same changes.
The order of this mass clearance came in the form of a piece of A4 paper pasted on walls and doors, mostly in no more than two or three sentences: you must move out of your residence before the end of the day, or before 72 hours, and after that utilities will be severed. Some notices gave the pretext of a fire hazard, while others gave no reason. Observers note that it’s been long in the planning to remove the ‘low-end population’ from Beijing, and one of the considerations is political security.
I look at these flimsy pieces of white paper, rumpled with wet paste, and think: look no further. This is a perfect example of how China is governed, how much power the Communist government has over the people, and how it exercises that power with abandon.
Without the need to expound, these A4 notices tell just how many human rights the citizens of China enjoy. Before entire streets, towns, and properties are bulldozed, no public hearings were held, no consultations were made, no reasons were given. Men in uniform, or sometimes plainclothes, came in with clubs, with a license to strike property and human beings alike without having to show who they are. Most people scurry away, leaving their factories, shops, restaurants, and vendor carts behind. Nobody knows where they are going and how they will rebuild life after being uprooted and thrown out, overnight.
Online, the term ‘low-end population’ is censored; the feeble efforts to provide relief by Beijing residents, NGOs, and a few house churches have been quickly extinguished. A team of college students going to do field work on the eviction are monitored by police.
Over the last five years, the Chinese government has stepped up measures to take an even tighter grip on society. In all aspects of human rights, it has taken away what little space there was for independent action, including news reporting, NGO rights advocacy activities, and the work of human rights lawyers and defenders. Furthermore, it has expedited a series of legislation through its rubber stamp congress to codify long-standing repressive and cruel practices, such as enforced disappearance.
Only recently did China observers begin to use the term ‘neo-totalitarian’ to describe the political reality in China now. The term ‘authoritarian’ has never been accurate, and is even less adequate now to define a wealthier and more powerful China that strong-arms its people and the world. Recent assessments, including the U.K. Conservative Party Human Rights Commission’s report ‘The Darkest Moment: The Crackdown on Human Rights in China 2013-2016’, as well as the European Council on Foreign Relations’ newly published report ‘China at the gates: A new power audit of EU-China relations’, are much needed correctives for our damaging slowness to recognise the menace of a communist China.
We have the banquets and the notices, all in one week and in one city. The banquets, I’m sure, were exquisite — nothing like the flimsy A4 orders of eviction.

[Ask the Gulch] I am trying to understand 'Climate Change'. In ancient times, from the Bible, those guys were always having plagues, storms, floods. I don't think they have this Climate Change down right.
Climate change is very real. Climate has been changing for millennia before us and it will change millennia after we are gone.
The only thing that science should focus on in that regard is passive observation and devising countermeasures in the advent it begins to threaten human life on Earth.
The only thing there is to understand is the climate has always been changing.
Yep, climate is always changing which is why we will always have plagues, storms, floods and nature always trying to kill some of us off.

Over the last five years, Neymar Jr. has rocketed into the public conscious as one of the top soccer players in the world. Neymar burst onto the scene during the 2013 Confederations Cup while playing with his national team, Brazil. In that tournament, Neymar took home the golden ball, awarded to the top player, as he led Brazil to the championship. Since then, Neymar hasn’t looked back, solidifying his spot as one of the best forwards in the world while playing for FC Barcelona.
Coming off winning back-to-back La Liga championships and back-to-back Copa Del Rey championships, Barca is entering the 2016-2017 season ready to tear through the competition once more.

Due to limitations of the Java Virtual Machine, FSI Pages Converter may fail to render very big PDF files, as the maximum amount of RAM accessible to FSI Pages Converter must be defined manually and is limited to 500 MB by default.
If your machine has more than 1GB RAM, you can open the converter.ini in a texteditor and change the line -Xmx500m (which sets the RAM allocated by FSI Pages Converter to 500 MegaBytes) to something higher, e.g. -Xmx1g or –Xmx1024m, depending on the amount of RAM of the rendering machine.
If there is no sufficient physical RAM available, splitting the large PDF file into small, single PDF files will help. Especially when set up to render with Photoshop, which requires quite an amount of RAM itself. There is an option within Adobe Acrobat Professional, found in the Document menu, called Extract Pages. Please check the box Extract pages as seperate files in the dialog, then render the resulting single page PDF files in FSI Pages Converter.

The dipole moment you obtain from a single point QM calculation is the exact dipole moment (for a given QM approximation), it is calculated directly using the electron density. Everything else necessarily is an approximation. RESP and ESP charges are point charges chosen to reproduce as good as possible the electrostatic potential due to the nuclei and electron density at the points of a three-dimensional grid around the molecule.
> I am using RESP program to calculate the partial charges. At the same time, I am interested in dipole moments. When I compare my dipole moments as output from RESP calculation, to which dipole it should be compared? to the original dipole moment (as output from single point energy calculation) or to the ESP dipole moment (as output from my ESP output i.ipop=mk iop(6/33=2,6/41=10,6/42=17)). Where the two are different.
> Which one is the correct?

Happy New Year! As you begin to make plans and plot your goals for the coming year, I have an important question to ask: “How connected are you to your life’s potential?” As someone who researches the brain science of happiness, I want to reveal why connecting to your potential is vital in order for your intentions to become a reality. Having learned about connection to people, purpose, and passion, let’s explore further the “Science Behind Connection” in this series’ final piece that reveals your “Connection to Potential.” Read last month’s article.
I find one of the greatest obstacles that can prevent you from achieving your life’s goals are self-doubt and the self-created excuses we carry in our mind. Trust me, you’re not the only person who’s ever experienced this behavior, nor will you be the last. In fact, Buddhist wisdom seems to align with evolutionary biology and behavioral psychology. When taken collectively, they reveal how your brain evolved to favor operating in selfdoubt and holding on to the negative beliefs we construct over time. Isn’t that just great?
More studies expose a disturbing situation about human behavior—your brain is more strongly wired to remember negative experiences over positive ones. What this means is that every negative experience you’ve ever had or every negative comment anyone has ever said to you—that has convinced you to doubt your own power—is more strongly remembered than all the positive ones you’ve acquired. The research indicates that it generally requires five positive thoughts or actions to counter one negative one.
Why would your brain be so cruel to you? Believe it or not, this aspect of human behavior—known as your “brain’s negativity bias”—is an evolutionary strategy that favored human survival. Our ancient ancestors had to remember more strongly threats in their environment, such as avoiding a predator or a poisonous fruit, than remembering the pleasantries of the day. The rationale? This functional tactic enhances survival. The following phrase I feel best summarizes the concept of your brain’s negativity bias: Your brain is like Velcro for negative experiences but like Teflon for positive experiences.
So how do your brain’s negativity bias and Buddhist philosophy relate to connecting to your potential? Whatever you aspire to in life, I find the biggest sabotage for accomplishing your goals isn’t so much limited by your circumstances in life, but by the negative conditioning literally wired into your brain and imprinted in your mind. It’s precisely what brain science research and timeless spiritual wisdom reveal—all limits exist in your mind. It’s in the mind where you connect to your potential and power.
Here’s a beneficial exercise I engage with my university students and my personal clients in order for them to tap into their personal power and connect to their life’s potential (and purpose). Picture yourself at age 80 reflecting back on your life. What are three goals—you presently haven’t accomplished—that you feel were most meaningful to you and best exemplified your authentic self? Put another way, what are three aspects of your life you don’t want to regret never having accomplished?
While they can certainly be as general as becoming a good parent or buying a home, they can be more specific such as getting your Master’s degree in psychology, running an organization preventing teen suicide, becoming fluent in Italian, or learning ballroom dance. Whatever they are, I encourage you to write them down—of course, they can be more than three.
Here’s the second part of the exercise. As we begin the New Year, what is one concrete step for each of these goals you can accomplish by the end of the year? Notice how I’m not asking you to achieve the goal in its entirety in a year; rather I’m requesting you actualize one major step by the end of the year for these lifelong goals to become a reality. So, if your goal is to be fluent in another language or learn ballroom dancing, by the end of January enroll in a language course or find a dance studio near you. In the following months, accomplish one major step that gets you closer to your vision.
The point I make in the Happiness course is the same for you: “It’s not the promise of happiness; it’s the practice of happiness.” In order to achieve a life of abundance and happiness, you must actively practice and strategize to make it happen. Think of connecting to your potential as the vital fuel that will forever propel you in the direction of your goals. As the opening quote affirms: “There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.” Please enjoy this short video we know will help you start Connecting to Your Potential.

Kuwait borders Iraq to the North and West, Saudi Arabia to the South and the Arabian/Persian Gulf to the East.
Kuwait emerged as an autonomous sheikhdom in the mid-eighteenth century, when a sheikh from the Al Sabah family was chosen as ruler by the six leading notable families. In 1899 Britain acquired control of Kuwait’s external affairs and defence matters until its independence in 1961. Iraq claimed Kuwait both then and during its 1990 invasion.
The total population stands at 2.8 million, 1.8 are non-nationals (www.kuwaittimes.net). Non-nationals compose almost 80% of the work force and consist of Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos, Sri Lankans and others.
Kuwait has been ruled by the Al Sabah family since the mid-eighteenth century. Its 1962 constitution allows for a National Assembly, albeit one that can legally be dissolved by the Emir. In 1986 it was dissolved and the constitution suspended. It was revived after the Iraqi occupation of 1990-91.The National Assembly (50 seats, elected by popular vote for 4 year terms) finally passed legislation in May 2005 allowing women the vote and the right to run for office – although an amendment to the legislation requires women to conduct themselves in accordance with the Sharia in their political activities. This had been resisted by the National Assembly for years, in the face of strong protests. Women now serve at the municipal council, Ministerial, Cabinet and Ambassadorial levels. Political parties are illegal, but clear and openly operating blocs within the National Assembly include those representing Shiis, Islamists and secular liberals. A Salafi Islamist attempt to establish a political party, Hizb Al-Ummah, was quashed. Under civil and parliamentary pressure, the government was forced to accept a rearrangement of the electoral districts, reducing them from 25 to 5 electoral districts, which was thought drastically to reduce opportunities for political corruption.

This experience will strengthen the relationship between Hope For The Warriors® and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, collectively impacting the services we provide military families and caregivers nationwide.
Hope For The Warriors® is pleased to announce that a staff member was awarded the Elizabeth Dole Fellowship for 2015 and 2016. Patti Katter, Veteran & Military Caregiver Program Coordinator with Hope For The Warriors®, was chosen as one of over 50 recipients of the Fellowship, which allows caregivers the opportunity to advise programs and play a leading role in raising awareness for the needs of caregivers throughout the nation. Hope For The Warriors® is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit, and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.
Katter has served as her husband’s caregiver for the past eight years. She will fulfill a two-year commitment as a resource and advocate for fellow military caregivers nationwide. Each class’s fellows give voice to military caregivers by advocating on their behalf for providers to fill the gap in services available to them. Each caregiver in the fellowship aims to educate the public and create awareness based on their own situation. Being a military caregiver is a full-time job, so each fellow uniquely opens the door to fulfill that population through purposeful services.
According to the Rand Corporation, 5.5 million men and women serve as caregivers nationally, and 1.1 million of those caregivers are from the post-9/11 era. The goal of the Elizabeth Dole Fellowship is to have at least one caregiver representing each state, so this year’s selection committee looked at states with heavy military populations, granting a few more to those states. Katter will serve as one of five fellows representing the state of Florida.
"I feel that my roles, as an Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow and the Military & Veteran Caregiver Program Coordinator with Hope For The Warriors®, enhance one another and allow me to provide an advanced level of support and advocacy for the military caregiver community," said Katter.
Senator Elizabeth Dole founded the Fellowship in 2012, and it has since grown in both size and ambition. The mission of the Elizabeth Dole Fellow program is to engage active military and veteran caregivers directly in the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s initiatives, allowing them an opportunity to advise the Foundation’s programs and play a leading role in raising awareness for the needs of caregivers throughout the nation.

• A piece in the Commentary section in this issue of Education Week about the importance of summer learning incorrectly states the timing of the Summer Changes Everything conference. It was in October.
• A letter to the editor, by Mary Bruce, in this issue gives an incorrect statistic. It should say one in four students fail to graduate with their peers.

Although callers to a recent Orlando Sentinel poll were ready to send Mr. Toad packing, the Internet is buzzing with online efforts to save the Magic Kingdom ride.
A "Save Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!" Web site went up on Oct. 23, the day after the Sentinel reported that Disney officials are considering replacing the scary, dark ride with a more kid-friendly adventure based on the wildly popular Winnie the Pooh.
The site -- at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/7073 --- includes the history and storyline of the ride, offers a place for the outraged to post their comments and encourages people to get involved with a list of top Disney executives and their addresses.

Odd that the lady with her child had to wait four hours to see the emergency doctor.
Some 15 years ago I had rammed my head on a customer's low overhead beam. I had to wait four hours with a bruise, while three screaming babies were seen before me. That told me there was not enough emergency room personnel. At least the babies were seen by emergency room folks in a reasonable time. Me, I missed four hours of work. But then that was in the morning.
The other time I had to go to the emergency room, was after 9PM, and was able to get taken care of in less than an hour.
