Two levels of activity can completely undermine your business development efforts: doing too much and doing too little. Think I just won the obvious award? Stick with me for a minute.
It's no secret that doing too little business development activity means you won't build the kind of practice you want without some kind of miraculous intervention. If you want word about you to filter out so potential clients come looking for you, you'd better help that word spread. And if you think you're going to inherit a book from a retiring mentor, you'd better have a parallel plan since clients don't always follow even the best-intentioned inheritance plans. If you sit and wait for clients to come to you, you may find yourself waiting for drips of business that will never quench your thirst.
But can you fail to build a book because you're doing too much? You bet. Even if you're a brand new solo practitioner without much billable work, your time and energy are limited. This is especially true for midlevel associates in larger firms: you have billable responsibilities, administrative responsibilities, professional development responsibilities, and you may well be busy personally as well, with a young family or supporting elderly relatives. And it's true for every lawyer during certain phases of practice.
If you're just starting to take on a particular business development activity (or to take on business development in general), you may be tempted to jump into the deep end and cram in as much work as you can that might lead to business. Unfortunately, that isn't how business development works in most practices. Taking on too much at once is overwhelming and discouraging, and it's more likely to lead to a crash-and-burn than to a brightly burning flame that will power your practice.
Business development is a career-long marathon, an endurance race that requires you to keep moving no matter what. If you try to complete that marathon in short order, you'll discover it can't be done. And far too often, those who try to do it all burn out and give up, at least for a while. So take a step, then another, and keep moving as those steps begin to form a road to success.
Action step: what are you planning to start, or what business development project has stalled? Break it down into doable steps and calendar those. Keep your commitment to yourself and your plan, and you'll see real progress without angst or burnout.

I recently talked with a friend who completed a Tough Mudder. For those of you who aren't familiar, a Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile obstacle race through a variety of obstacles (such as sprinting through a field of live wires) and, you guessed it, lots of mud. Aside from the obstacles, two aspects of Tough Mudder are legendary: the focus on teamwork ("no mudder left behind") and on overcoming fears through the obstacles. And it's definitely tough—or so I hear, since it isn't exactly my cup of tea.
Here's what my friend told me that made me think of the business development journey: "I came to appreciate the obstacles because every time I made it through one, I knew I was that much closer to the end. When I was in the middle of it, I couldn't really tell how far I'd gone or how much I had left to the finish line, but the obstacles helped me know that I was actually making progress." It's a useful lesson.
Approach the race as a marathon, not as a sprint. Although the Tough Mudder is "just" 10-12 miles long, expecting to whip through it would be a huge mistake even if you run that distance every weekend. Likewise, business development will last for the rest of your private practice career, and you'll run ragged if you behave as if it's a goal to be conquered in the short term. Keep your eye on the long-term view even while working to overcome each immediate obstacle.
Realize that you can't do it alone. To succeed in building a successful practice, you'll need help from mentors and colleagues who can give you suggestions and feedback, professional friends who can make introductions and open doors for you, and referral partners who can help you meet the right contacts and potential clients. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to succeed alone—and you'd be wise to invest in your teammates' success as they do in yours.
Take the steps necessary to prepare. Training for the Tough Mudder might include cardio, weight lifting, and body weight exercises, along with finding out the best clothes to wear during the race and other "real life" tips. Preparing for business development may include designing your strategy and laying your business development plan, improving certain skills (networking skills, for example), learning about general principles of marketing, studying your target client's likely concerns and goals, learning more about business principles, and so on. Whether it's a Tough Mudder or business development, you can't expect to go from zero to win without significant preparatory work.
Have a clear objective in mind. In most races, your time is your measure of success; in Tough Mudder, success might be measured in terms of your teamwork or even by overcoming the one obstacle that terrified you. Your personal definition of success should govern your business development efforts as well. You'll likely approach business development differently if you want to become equity partner at a large firm than you would if you want a more lifestyle-oriented practice. Knowing your "why" will let you be sure that you're working to create the kind of success that matters to you.
Decide that you will succeed. Whether it's the Tough Mudder or building a clientele to support your practice, you will hit obstacles—literal and metaphorical. It won't be easy. At times you'll wonder why you started this journey and you'll consider abandoning it. Only your decision to persevere will keep you from giving up. Decide early and don't look back.
Whether you're training for a Tough Mudder or (like me) can't imagine taking on that challenge, absorbing these lessons will help you build a successful practice. What else would you add?
Large law firm partnership models are changing.
An American Lawyer article reports that BakerHostetler (along with several others, including DLA Piper and Akin Gump) has shifted to an "all-equity" partnership model, leaving behind a two-tier partnership system. This doesn't mean that all partners have full equity membership, however: it simply means that all partners have some equity, though a "significant number of partners are both firms . . . . still receive more than half their compensation in the form of fixed pay.
[Roger] Meltzer [co-chair of DLA Piper] also noted that DLA Piper raised more capital from the shift, with all partners required to make some contributions. "It creates more of an equity cushion," said Meltzer, ho declined to specify how much capital was raised.
It's no surprise that large firms continue to evaluate and tweak partnership models, but I'm not sure I'd be dancing just yet if I were a nonequity partner just granted a stake in the firm.
Leadership presence, which includes the ability to project power, is critical in any kind of interaction, whether you're speaking with one person or to a crowd of 1000. Failing to exhibit the kind of power that demonstrates self-confidence may leave your audience uncertain about your skill, but overdoing a display of power may come across as arrogance, which is a turnoff for almost everyone.
Amy Cuddy's presented her research on "power poses," which demonstrates that adopting or even just visualizing a confident pose delivers self-assurance in one of the most viewed TED talks of all time. One of the fascinating aspects of that research is that taking a "power pose" can affect levels of testosterone and cortisol. In other words, this is not just a "fake it til you make it" shortcut: taking a powerful stand causes physiological effects that can change how you present yourself and thus how others perceive you.
Stanford professor Deborah Gruenfeld, who spent years studying the psychology of power, discovered that simply understanding the research is not enough to reap its rewards. She eventually teamed up with a theatre instructor to teach a Stanford Business School class called Acting With Power. Watch her micro lecture Playing High, Playing Low and Playing It Straight on YouTube, and you'll pick up tips on how to project authority and approachability. It's a worthy investment of time if you've ever felt a lack of confidence, if you've ever received feedback that you come across as tentative, or if you've ever worried that you're coming on too strong.
What does this have to do with business development? Simple: no one wants to hire or refer business to someone who may not be able to handle it. While leadership presence isn't necessarily indicative of actual professional skill, it's the stand-in that others will evaluate (consciously or not) as they decide whether you're trustworthy.
Take a few minutes to check out these resources, and if you're uncertain about how you come across (especially in situations that are uncomfortable to you), ask a trusted colleague. Your presence will have a significant impact on your career, so don't delay.
Not getting answers to your biz dev emails?
Email can be a good way to reach out to new contacts (people you've met briefly or with whom you'd like to connect via LinkedIn, for example) or to reconnect with longer-time contacts, but you may get frustrated by slow or no responses.
It's tempting to make email contacts meaty, to give all the detail we feel necessary to justify the contact and to elicit a response, but often the result is a big block of text that the respondent delays reading or answering.
Although you may be unable to limit every email to five sentences or less (especially client communications), taking this challenge will prompt you to be brief, which makes your emails easier to digest and answer.
Why not give it a try with your emails this week?

We use key cards to access your rooms. These are better than normal keys because anyone can copy a normal key. The keycards expire at a certain time, so in the unlikely event that a copy is able to be made, it will only last a short time. You can even keep your keycards as a souvenir. You should always show your card to reception when you walk past, and you will need to use your keycard to enter the hostel after midnight.

Q: Sequence difference and proving Prove that if the sequence $a_{n}$ is arithmetic, then for any positive integer k the sequence:
$$b_{1} = a_{1}+a_{2} +...+ a_{k}, \\ b_{2}=a_{k+1}+...+ a_{2k}, \\ b_{3}= a_{2k+1}+...+ a_{3k}$$ is arithmetic as well. What is the difference of the sequence $b_{n}$ ?
I figured that a given $b_n$ has a form of $b_n=a_{(n-1)k+1}+a_{(n-1)k+2}+...+a_{nk}$. Hence, $b_{n+1}=a_{nk+1}+a_{nk+2}+...+a_{(n+1)k}$. We know that $a_n$ is arithmetic so we may use the sum formula and we get:
$$b_{n+1}=\frac{a_{nk+1}+a_{(n+1)k}}{2}\cdot k \\ b_{n}=\frac{a_{(n-1)k+1}+a_{nk}}{2}\cdot k$$
And further:
$$b_{n+1}-b_n=\frac{ka_{nk+1}+ka_{(n+1)k}-ka_{(n-1)k+1}-a_{nk}}2=\frac{1}{2}k(a_{nk+1}-a_{(n-1)k+1}+a_{(n+1)k}-a_{nk})$$
And I believe it's enough to show that $b_n$ is arithmetic as well. $\frac{1}{2}k$ is constant, $a_{nk+1}-a_{(n-1)k+1}$ are two adjacent terms in an arithmetic progression so their difference is certainly constant and $a_{(n+1)k}-a_{(n-1)k}$ are separated by some term in the middle but as it's arithmetic sequence, $(a_{(n+1)k}-a_{nk}=const \land a_{nk}-a_{(n-1)k}=const)\rightarrow a_{(n+1)k}-a_{(n-1)k}=const.$ Is it enough to prove or this should be done some other way? [this paragraph may be a little off now as I found an error - there is no $a_{(n-1)k}$ here but $a_{nk}$ instead which I plugged into the equations above]
And as regards the difference - I thought about using the formula that $a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$ so we have:
$$b_{n+1}-b_n=\frac{1}{2}k([a_1+nkd]+[a_1+(nk+k-1)d]-[a_1+(nk-k)d]-[a_1+(nk-1)d])=\frac{k}{2}\cdot 2kd=k^2d$$
So the difference of $b_n$ is $k^2d$. Is it OK?

A: It could be organized more clearly, but basically it's fine. Here's how I'd do it.
Let $d$ be the common difference of the original sequence, i.e., $d=a_{n+1}-a_n$ for each $n$. For any $n$ we have $a_{n+k}-a_n=kd$, so for any $n$ we have
$$\begin{align*}
b_{n+1}-b_n&=\sum_{i=1}^ka_{nk+i}-\sum_{i=1}^ka_{(n-1)k+i}\\
&=\sum_{i=1}^k(a_{nk+i}-a_{(n-1)k+i})\\
&=\sum_{i=1}^kkd\\
&=k^2d\;.
\end{align*}$$
This is constant, so the sequence $\langle b_1,b_2,\dots\rangle$ is arithmetic with common difference $dk^2$.
Note that there's nothing wrong with using the sum formula as you did; it just adds some extra work.

Iksha foundation is a public charitable trust to focus on Retinoblastoma (eye Cancer) – to create awareness, to provide aid for its treatment and to support research to improve care of children with Retinoblastoma.
We at Iksha believe that no child should ever lose eyesight or face death to this type of childhood cancer that has one of the best cure rates. No family should have to go through the unspeakable pain of losing a child. We are currently supporting children who have been diagnosed with Retinoblastoma and are being treated at several hospitals in Bangalore.
Retinoblastoma is a life threatening eye Cancer that affects children. The Cancer grows from the retina, which is a sensory layer located inside the eye. As the Cancer progresses, it may be observed by the parents as a white mass from within the eye. Eventually, the eye becomes painful, red and swollen. Once the Cancer spreads outside the eye it becomes a threat to life, especially when it spreads to the brain and other parts of the body.
Iksha Foundation is registered under 80G, all donations will be issued an 80G certificate to be used to income-tax.
If you're convinced to their cause, and the work they are putting into it, do supporting them on TFN by donating any amount you can.

Example of a Level 1 DP Capability plot representing intact as well as WCSF condition.
DNV GL presented its new standard for assessing the station keeping capability of DP (dynamic positioning) vessels at the European Dynamic Positioning Conference in London yesterday. The ability to assess and compare the position-keeping capability of a ship equipped with dynamic positioning technology is vital during the planning and design phases, and provides valuable operational decision support. The DNVGL-ST-0111 standard is the first to provide a unified approach to these assessments, ensuring verifiable results and increasing transparency in the market.
"In the past few years many in the industry had been calling for a new standard that could account for advances in technology and provide reliable data to support owners, operators and other stakeholders in selecting, assessing and benchmarking vessels. This prompted us at DNV GL to take action. We worked very closely with just under 20 industry stakeholders from Norway, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in developing DNVGL-ST-0111, resulting in a standard that truly represents industry-wide best practices", said Aleks Karlsen, Senior Principal Specialist DP Systems Control Systems at DNV GL – Maritime, in his presentation at the European Dynamic Positioning Conference.
"One of the greatest challenges in this field is to be able to compare the DP capability of different vessels. In order to do this, we have developed the Level 1 in the standard, which sets strict requirements for the calculation methodology, enabling consistent vessel comparisons. The other challenges in our industry are the needs for vessel- and operation-specific DP capability assessments and methods that are able to provide DP capability results in realistic dynamic conditions," added Luca Pivano, Principal Specialist DP Simulations, Marine Cybernetics Advisory at DNV GL – Maritime. To cover this, DNV GL has also developed two additional levels in the new standard, providing full flexibility for the stakeholders to choose from based on their needs.
The DNVGL-ST-0111 standard defines clear and consistent requirements for DP station-keeping capability assessments, the calculation method documentation and the presentation and verifiability of the results. Addressing both the intact vessel condition and the worst-case single failure conditions, it also corresponds to the vessel's dynamic positioning class notation. The standard defines three different DP capability levels, each requiring a specific assessment method. The calculations use the Beaufort wind scale as well as significant wave height, wave period and current speed data as input. DP capability plots are generated for each level, and the results of the assessment are expressed with a DP capability number in the format of DP Capability-LX (A, B, C, D), where X is 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to the analysis level. The standard also defines two additional DP capability assessment levels, allowing for the inclusion of site-specific environmental data and external forces (Level 2-Site and Level 3-Site).
In support of the new standard, DNV GL has also developed a web application, which helps users calculate DP capability numbers for Level 1 and is available free of charge on the DNV GL customer portal My DNV GL. It assists users with entering all the required information and feeds back a visual representation as well as a report of the Level 1 numbers in near-real time. Users may then request DNV GL approval of the results through the online tool. In addition, DNV GL's Marine Cybernetics Advisory team also provides services and a web tool based on cloud computing to assess a vessel's DP capability according to Level 2, Level 3 and their site versions.

A novel approach is proposed that satisfies all critical system requirements. The design is based on modification of a waveguide radiating element using high dielectric strength materials. The radiating element design is compatible with a range of high dielectric strength materials. The element exhibits very high overall aperture efficiency (in excess of 98%) with minimal dissipative losses in the order of .1 dB. It will be shown that the design is compatible with several high strength dielectric materials. A robust plan to manufacture the antenna is presented that takes into account manufacturing of the final article that needs to conform to the host vehicle. Based on the past success and studies done in support of preparation for this proposal we believe the overall approach is sound and the risk is reasonable for execution of the program and carrying through to phase 2 and ultimately an implemented production program is low. Broadband, conformal, high power antennas have direct application to EW platforms and electronic attack missions. The technology will directly support a number of ongoing DOD acquisition programs, including weapons and manned/unmanned aircraft. On the civilian side the need for broadband high power communications exists and the technology will resolve key issues. Commercial benefits include high data rate transfer from mobile platforms, both air and ground.

Akiko-Hamilton-Dechter — Equal Time
(Capri Records no#, 2019, CD)
With Equal Time, this trio creates a serious yet fun jazz sound with a simple trio of organ, guitar and drums. Drummer Jeff Hamilton is a veteran player, in addition to his work with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and the many recordings of his own trio, he has supported Woody Herman, Count Basie, Ray Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson and many others. Guitarist Graham Dechter has been a member of the aforementioned Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra for many years, as well as working with Wynton Marsalis, Elaine Elias, Nancy Wilson, Jimmy Heath and others, and has a couple recordings to his own credit. Organist Akiko Tsuruga relocated from Osaka to the USA at the recommendation of drummer Grady Tate, and has since gone on to release over half a dozen releases under her own name, the latest So Cute, So Bad from 2017 features both Hamilton and Dechter. There is a musical telepathy between them that underscores their shared passion for swing, drawing on the tradition of organ trio pioneer Jimmy Smith. "Mag's Groove," one of Akiko's originals opens the proceedings and sets the tone for all that comes after, illuminating a powerful composition with plenty of brilliant guitar and organ solos throughout its six minute trajectory. Dechter's composition "Orange Coals" is up next, a more nimble swing approach with plenty of stylish guitar drive, the busy bass lines coming from Akiko's foot pedals while Hamilton takes a drum solo in the piece's concluding minutes.The appropriately titled "Osaka Samba" is another Akiko original which gives a lot of space to all three players to stretch out. There are a number of covers here as well, the classic "I Remember You" which has been done by everybody and their brother over the decades, but this arrangement is like one you've never heard before. Similarly, the album closer "This Could Be The Start of Something Big" written by Steve Allen, but covered by numerous artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha, Ocar Peterson and Count Basie, offers probably the most familiar tune but its arrangement is a stylistic continuity of the seven tracks that come before it. John Coltrane's "Moment's Notice" from the late 1950s has become somewhat of a standard over the years, and the trio's treatment of it gives Dechter ample room to improvise while Akiko and Hamilton hold down the backing tune and rhythm. This is a great album beginning to end, and I only hope that Equal Time is not a one-off and we here more recordings from this trio in the future.

Dengue Fever Advises Against Sudden Moves


My wife suffers from Parkinson's disease and fell and broke her hip and left elbow on 1 March 2017. She required surgery for a full hip replacement. She spent three weeks in a private hospital and because of the number of orthopaedic patients, per ward, received below average care particularly over weekends when staff reductions were implemented.
Her surgeon recommended "step down" treatment at a rehabilitation centre on her discharge from hospital. But our medical aid offered us a wonderful alternative. They suggested we consider "SA Home Care" for a period of two weeks. We accepted their offer on condition she was cared for by competent carers, both day and night, and that a physiologist visit her 5 times per week.
Physio sessions were also conducted in our home and proved to be more therapeutic.
To sum up, we would recommend "home care" to anyone if it involves a team comprising Carers, an experienced Nursing Sister to mentor and guide them and a qualified Physio.
On the 14th of July I experienced what I can regard as perhaps the most devastating events of my life when my beloved wife Thandeka, passed away.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the dedicated care which you gave my wife in the last days of her life. Though she suffered greatly, she died knowing that there were people like you who did their best to ensure that she was as comfortable as possible in the circumstances of her terminal illness.
I wished that we could have grown old together but alas, it was not to be. I will always treasure her memory and love her in her death as I have always loved her during her life. It is people like you who make difficult situations of pain and the death of loved ones less traumatic. My family and I really appreciate the palliative service and care you rendered to my wife and my family. We have grieved but now have reached a stage of acceptance that she is with the angels. We are learning to live without her physical presence but with her spirit. I dreamt about her last week and it was a beautiful dream.
We were clients of SA Home Care for about two years, and the care service was always thorough and compassionate. The staff are friendly and happy to assist.
I am very satisfied with SA Home Care and endorse them for care of elderly patients suffering from dementia.
Due to financial constraints, we as a family have decided to nurse our father and grand-father ourselves.
Initially we thought that he was so weak, that the inevitable was but a matter of time. Since then he has rallied remarkably.
We would like to thank you all, and especially Matthew Zimmerman for your care and empathy. Be assured, that we only have respect and are extremely greatfull to you all. We will not hesitate to recommend and/or use your company again.
Mr Moagi is doing very well. Thanks for your help with his care.

Funding boost announced to increase recycling rate in Scotland
Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead has announced that he is increasing the amount of funding available to help councils in Scotland in order to increase the recycling rate
Scotland has a 50% recycling target set for the end of 2013.
Speaking at the Scottish Waste and Resources Conference, Lochhead announced that an additional £1.2m of funding will be available to help increase Scotland's recycling rate.
The funding will be available immediately and until April 2013 to help councils meet their target commitments and specifically to fund improvements to household waste recycling centres and for increasing collections of glass from households.
The funds will be administered by Zero Waste Scotland, the Scottish Government's delivery partner.
According to the Scottish Government, this funding is in addition to £5m already made available through Zero Waste Scotland this year to support household food waste collections and will help councils move from the present average recycling rate of 41% to the 50% target next year.
Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "Our vision for zero waste is a long-term ambition – but getting to the point where the majority of our household waste is recycled will be a major milestone, especially considering that before devolution our recycling rate was just 5%.
"We are making funds available to councils to help them meet our ambition. Councils have made huge progress. Seven councils have already hit the challenging 50% recycling target by adopting a 'can do' approach. We encourage all councils to work with Zero Waste Scotland and take advantage of this targeted additional investment to help them make further progress.
"But this is also about a much bigger prize. It is about keeping valuable materials circulating in our economy so we can create jobs and business opportunities here in Scotland."
"The CIWM is delighted that the Minister has made this commitment and offered this financial support above and beyond monies already announced," said Duncan Simpson, chairman of the CIWM Scottish Centre.
"A lot has been achieved by our sector, waste professionals and the public, to date but we all have bigger challenges ahead and the continued support of the Scottish government is greatly appreciated.
"We are further delighted by the fact that the minister has chosen Scottish Waste and Resources event to make the announcement."

On the one hand, progress has been made in all selected indicators and in all world regions. Yet looking at the implementation of MDGs for the selected 10 indicators for Developing Regions 8 indicators were behind the lines for between 4 years and nearly 13 years. The largest delays were for maternal mortality ratio and prevalence of underweight children under-five years of age; by regions in sub-Saharan Africa, Western Asia and Southern Asia.
Official Development Aid: tracking the timetable for reaching the UN target of 0.7 percent of GNI with time distance showed that the performance in 2008 was off the track: the delay of four years for DAC total.
Sub-Saharan Africa by countries: for 8 indicators S-time-distance analysis was in 79 percent of cases behind the lines to target and 21 percent of cases ahead of them. The worst situation was for the indicator percent of the population undernourished. The percentage rule for determining the MDGs target understates the progress made in Africa and puts a much more demanding target in terms of feasibility to regions and countries with more difficult starting positions.
Under-five mortality rate for 150 developing countries: 54 countries were ahead of their line to MDGs target and 96 countries lagging behind.
The application to monitoring of the MDGs gives a new broader understanding of the situation in a dynamic context to enriching the policy debate. The time distance methodology can be usefully applied also in monitoring plans, budgets, forecasts, etc. and SICENTER developed a free web tool to facilitate this for interested users.

Hike minimum wage? Earned Income Tax Credit does better job WASHINGTON – It is not at all hard to understand the fundamental economic logic of the minimum wage: By raising the ... Check out this story on thecalifornian.com: http://bit.ly/1ncEJxS
SNA Published 9:00 p.m. PT May 2, 2014 | Updated 9:08 p.m. PT May 2, 2014
WASHINGTON – It is not at all hard to understand the fundamental economic logic of the minimum wage: By raising the minimum price of labor, you will decrease the amount of labor that employers want to purchase.
This logic is very appealing. I drink a lot of diet Coke. If the price of diet Coke went up 40 percent, I would drink a whole lot less of it. Why would the market for diet Coke be different than the market for labor?
Conservatives should acknowledge that that question has sensible answers. Perhaps instead of cutting back on workers, firms will simply increase prices. Perhaps firms will neither increase nor cut back on workers, but instead will make do with smaller profits.
Ultimately, this is an empirical question. And here again, we have disagreement among economists. A recent poll of some top academic economists asked them whether raising the minimum wage would make it "noticeably harder for low-skill workers to find employment." About one-third agreed, one-third disagreed, and one-third were uncertain.
Count me among the economists who think that it would. My holistic judgment — which is informed by economic theory, the existing empirical economics literature and basic common sense — is that raising the minimum wage by 40 percent, as President Obama and many Democrats want to do, will make it noticeably harder for low-skill workers to find jobs.
The non-partisan and highly respected Congressional Budget Office agrees with me. Analyzing the president's proposal, the CBO found that raising the federal minimum wage from the current $7.25 to $10.10 would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.
That's a high price to pay. What benefit would we get for that cost?
Well, many workers would get higher paychecks. The CBO estimated that these extra earnings will total $31 billion.
But it turns out that 29 percent of the $31 billion of those extra earnings would flow to families with household earnings of more than three times the poverty level. Only 19 percent of the $31 billion of extra earnings will accrue to households below the poverty line.
This demonstrates that the minimum wage is a terribly targeted anti-poverty program.
Why? Because the minimum is agnostic to the household income of workers. I earned the minimum wage as a kid in a middle-class family. Raising the minimum wage would have given my family a very slight income boost, but it wouldn't have taken us out of poverty because we weren't in poverty.
Conservatives should support the government ensuring that no one who works full time and heads a household lives in poverty, by opposing the minimum wage increase in favor of a better targeted anti-poverty program.
One such program is the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a federal subsidy for low-income, working households. It is a remarkably effective anti-poverty program because it targets household income. And it provides an incentive for people to work because it is only offered to working households.
The IRS estimates that in 2009 the EITC lifted nearly 7 million people out of poverty. Right now the EITC is not nearly generous enough for workers with no children. Instead of increasing the minimum wage, the childless EITC benefit should be expanded.
Liberals are wrong that the customers and employers of low-income workers should bear the responsibility of lifting the working poor out of poverty. Google and Microsoft, me and my AEI colleagues — all of society — should pitch in as well.
The EITC channels social resources to meet a social goal. And it does so a helluva lot better than the minimum wage.

Android gaming has been always considered as just another way to refresh your mind. It doesn't have to be difficult and mind gobbling. Well, how about a little change? When you reach the level where you start calling yourself an expert gamer, you need to check out these games which will test your skills.
These android games will get to your nerves and will challenge your gaming abilities. Though these games are entertaining and fun, the difficulty of the game will get you to hit the 'Play Again' button again and again. Actually, the difficulty of the games is what makes it so interesting and you need to be very skilled to pass all the levels.
Let's have a look at the 5 Android games which will make you go crazy for winning.
Hundreds are the kind of puzzle game which can make you feel anxious about mathematics. You need to tap and hold the expanding circles to make the numbers add up to 100. The difficulty in this game is that while you are holding the circles to make them expand, they can neither run into other circles and obstacles nor can they smash into hazards.
The game starts at a simple level with empty spaces and stable circles. In some situations, you even need to hold multiple circles at once to make them grow. The further the game moves, the more difficult it gets.
Impossible Road is a game about speed and hand-eye coordination. The adrenaline sense of speed this game provides is unlike any other game racing games you must have played. You control a white ball which is called "the vessel". Though it is a racing game, but there is no road. It's more of a downward spiralling road, like a rollercoaster ride that you are not strapped into. As the name says, it is impossible to get down that road.
Tap Tap Dash is an amazing and super cute racing game you can play entirely with one hand. This game has just one button using which Tap Tap Dash gives the user a full overhead runner experience.
In this game, the stages are made up of a combination of 90-degree turns and large gaps you'll need to jump over. On each turn or jump, there is a green indicator marking showing when to tap on the screen. And reading the description if you think that this game is easy, you cannot be more mistaken. In this game, there is no place for mistakes and if you make one can never get over it.
This is a game where you can fulfil your dream of having a unicycle. And after playing it, for sure you will wish that you didn't have one.
Pinna Unicycle is an incredibly challenging physics based game where you try to see how far you can get on your unicycle without crashing it. Don't worry about falling over, because you will fall over multiple times. Press and hold the right side of the screen to cycle forwards and the left side to cycle backwards. Remember to keep the balance. This is definitely an interesting challenge indeed.
The developers of this game have expertise in making difficult and addictive games with a minimalistic concept in mind. Super Hexagon present you as a tiny icon at the centre of your screen.
You orbit the hexagon via simple touch controls. Tap left to rotate counter-clockwise and tap right to rotate clockwise. And you are rotating to avoid the endless line coming towards the hexagon, to submerge into it, from all the directions. It sounds very easy as all you have to do is save the tiny dot from submerging into those lines. But this is where the difficulty comes into play. The lines approach in patterns that require quick-tapping and ruthless attention to avoid falling into the lines.


The 429CT is a photoelectric self-diagnostic smoke detector from GE Security designed as a 2 wire smoke detector with a UL listing, 12/24VDC power, a silicon heat sensor, and microprocessor for detecting heat and calculating the rise in temperature. The 429CT security smoke detector comes with intelligent self diagnostics, a plug in terminal block, NFPA 72 testing requirements, plus advanced false alarm protection, and a replaceable optical chamber. This quality photoelectric smoke detector is able to monitor its own operational status and sensitivity with visual indications if there are any problems.


Deepika Padukone has always been the style queen when it came to her casual outings or airport looks. The Padmaavat actress was snapped at the Mumbai airport on June 9, 2018. Deepika looked stunning in a simple white vest top and black track pants but managed to look glamorous at the airport as she left for her hometown Bengaluru.
Padukone was last seen in the film Padmaavat and is currently reading a lot of scripts but has not yet finalized any. On the personal front, there are rumours that Deepika would get married to her long time beau Ranveer Singh.
Her constant outings with her mother Ujala Padukone on shopping have fumed the wedding reports. More reports have said that the Padukone and Singh families have already started preparations of the wedding which is expected to happen somewhere abroad. The couple has so far not come out in open about their relationship but their constant outings and social media updates have told a different story.


Chinese scientist He Jiankui. File photo.
A leading geneticist who ran the conference where a Chinese scientist said he had made the world's first "gene-edited" babies condemned him on Monday for potentially jeopardising lives and having no biology training.
Robin Lovell-Badge, organiser of the November 2018 event where China's He Jiankui made his controversial presentation, described him as a rich man with a "huge ego" who "wanted to do something he thinks will change the world".
Lovell-Badge, a professor and gene expert at Britain's Francis Crick Institute who led the organising committee for the November Human Genome Editing Summit at Hong Kong University, said it was impossible to know what He had actually done.
Chinese researchers say that they have edited the genes of human embryos to try and make them resistant to HIV infection.
Lovell-Badge said he originally invited He to the conference after hearing in scientific circles that he was "up to something". Lovell-Badge hoped that asking He to interact with specialists would encourage him to "control his urges".

The Wanderings and Ramblings
peruse the alleyways of a dusty mind
What? I'm here? Uhhh... (spoilers for SPN 10x08)
Dec. 3rd, 2014 at 12:57 PM
bowtrunckle
So, I don't know what's up with Show, but it's making me want to post things! Maybe that's good? Or bad in the case that probably 3 people on my "flist" remember me and the rest of you are wondering who this random person is. ;)
I just finished SPN 10x08 and, wow, I feel like I've been waiting for that episode since S3 but didn't know it until I actually saw it. I feel like this is what show could be with a cast of supporting characters. As much as I love Sam and Dean and how multifaceted and developed (in terms of, hehem, character development) they've become, they can't be everything all the time. They can't fill the all the edges and corners of a story. And when the story is made so narrow that it pretty much revolves around them (as they have done for the last million years), the story starts to teeter on the edge of feeling claustrophobic.
Yes, there's Cas and Crowley. But, for me, their roles are limited by the characters they play. Cas is an angel, and by being an angel (degraced or not or newly human or not), he has to maintain a certain "angelness" about him, a sort of naive, detached, earnest and literal persona, which I enjoy, but is hard to identify with or develop beyond certain strictures (but, to be honest, I was finding Cas's story interesting this season, especially with Hannah as his foil, but now she's gone). Crowley is ... Crowley. And despite his human blood addiction, apparent need to be loved (which, you know, will probably be played out as a thing with, Rowena, his mother), and his wheeling and dealing amongst his fits of yelling and smooth talk, he doesn't resonate with me (if anyone can figure out why let me know!) despite the fact the writers/show runners have manufactured the story to continually keep him involved season after season.
But Jody and Donna? Now those are two characters I can get behind without blinking an eye. They're funny and crass and lovable and tough. They don't take bullshit even from Dean Winchester. And somehow they can go from cracking jokes to being vulnerable to being funny on a turn of a dime without it feeling contrived. And, a la brothers Winchester, they are complimentary opposites, which makes for interesting and unpredictable scenes. But because by the middle of the episode it was clear there was a growing bond of loyalty and fondness (and protectiveness on Jody's part), "unpredictable" for me never meant uncomfortable or awkward or second-hand-embarrassment inducing. For me, it hit that sweet spot of good unpredictable, vacillating between snort-laugh funny and tragically sad (Jody's dead family scene), giving me that weird lumpy-throat feeling you get when you see someone caught in a vulnerable moment and you don't know if you should hug them or pretend to ignore it (Donna's got that sad puppy-dog eye thing that Sam's got).
But, seriously, I can't remember an episode were I was actually left wondering what was going to happen, not in terms of the story arc or the plot, but in terms of what the characters THEMSELVES would do. We know Dean will always choose Sam, and that Sam will do anything to save Dean. We know they'll do their best to try to save people and kill the bad guys and then drive off and have a deep talk of few words, which will usually resolve nothing but still impart the fact that they care about each other in some backwards-brotherly way. We know they will each silently angst over each other alone and in private (or in Sam's case while gazing out of the Impala on a rainy night). But I didn't know what Jody and Donna would do when Sam and Dean showed up. I didn't know what Donna's reaction would be when she found out "everything". And not knowing was sort of exciting.
If anybody here remembers anything about anything I've written in the past decade while being on LJ (or maybe not), it's the fact that character-driven stories are my thing. And part of the draw of character-driven stories is being able to be surprised in a predictable way. Surprised in that characters do interesting and novel things that are completely believable for who they are and, in hindsight, are 100% predictable. They are moments of insight where a reader/viewer sees new aspects of a character that slot in perfectly with what has come before. It's called character growth. And it a wonderful, marvelous thing if it's done well and with care and consistency because it's a joy to discover new things about someone who feels familiar.
The most interesting thing about the pairing of Jody and Donna this episode was that it highlighted for me just how mundane SPN has become over the last 3 years (I'm not using mundane to denote something negative. I'm using it for exactly what it means … run of the mill). Jody and Donna were literally a breath of fresh air. They reminded me what it's like to watch something that's not a reincarnation of a previous conversation/scenario or the 10th reiteration of a theme/through line. They reminded me of the joy and anticipation of pleasant surprises and how much fun it can be watch what happens when interesting characters are literally thrown in a room together.
But more than anything else this episode demonstrates that there's a place for non-supernatural supporting characters, ones that aren't antagonists or convenient plot points. That Sam and Dean Winchester can and should have friends; that this TV show can and will portray women as independent, well-rounded, and well-balanced characters; and that, since the departure of Bobby, Jody and Donna are exactly what this show needs. I feel like the perception over the years has been that recurring female characters who are not antagonists just "don't stick". And this is me saying that they can and they do. And they should continue to do so.
And to The Powers That Be, THIS IS WHAT A SPIN-OFF LOOKS LIKE.

*sings* I remember youuuu.
and i agree!! I have been really enjoying S10 but yes,the boys need other characters to bounce off, now that they don't have Bobby.. and the girls were BRILLIANT!
Not some typical, generic, looks the same as everyone else but REAL WOMEN, the sort that Sam and Dean would be surprised by and respect.
I hope they don't get a spin off - we need them on SPN.
Also, boys looked really pretty (cough)

*sings back* Yeeaahhh! :D
Exactly. I love Jody and Donna for who they are, and the fact they're not the typical female on a network like the CW endears me more. They're believable. I think it would add some depth and variety to have them around more often.
I love them interacting with Sam and Dean more, yes. But even though I'd love to see them in SPN more often, part of me thinks the reality of that is slim. So instead, having their own "adventures of" would satisfy my itch because I'd just love to see what else they could get themselves into. :) Something similar to how I understand "Arrow" and "The Flash" are set up (the same universe with the potential for continued character crossover) would be great: secondary characters who we can't/don't see on SPN, could pop in on a spin off along with Sam and Dean or mentions of ... ramifications of events from one show affecting the other, it would be a superfan's wet dream. ;)

I totally agree that THIS is a spinoff I would watch.
If the spin off could be made a separate entity AND relevant to SPN proper, meaning major events could cross over with minor characters jumping between shows once in a while (and Sam and Dean of course), that would be AWESOME.
It'll be interesting to see how the new incarnation of the spin off evolves....

Hey, nice to see a post from you. Jody and Donna are a breath of fresh air, for sure. It was a cool idea to put them together in an episode. They play off each other really well.
Hello, there! It's nice to be around again (however brief).
It was a cool idea to put them together in an episode.
I'm curious to know what exactly sparks these ideas in the writer's room. Sometimes it seems like a lot of it has to do with a particular writer's attachment to a character--one they may have created (ex. Charlie, The Ghostfacers)--and their tenacity to reincorporate them into the fold OR else some sort of indescribable "something" an actor possesses that's recognized by TPTB, who want to work with them again.
brightly_lit
YES, fresh new characters! I read this review of yours before I watched the episode, and I kept thinking, "What she said!" the whole time; I LOVED the ep! Would that we could have more eps like this every season; plus then J2 get a break ...
Oo, you read this before the episode! :)
Would that we could have more eps like this every season;
Sometimes I think that SPN would be more powerful it if had a 10-episode cable schedule, but then one-off episodes like this come around and it makes me reconsider. If it weren't for a 23-episode schedule we wouldn't have had some of the best SPN episodes because sometimes they have to be not tightly coupled to the main Sam-and-Dean storyline in order to have the distance to be playful/experimental/delve into secondary characters/plots. I'll just be thankful that we get fun gems like this episode. :)
hugemind
Remind me who you are again. ;) But do keep posting, because YESYESYES.
I would watch that spin-off. \o/
Also, this "finding new things about something that feels familiar" reminds me of the Js talking at one of the more recent cons about how they felt that the MoL bunker did just that. :)
YOU! :D *smish*
I hope you're surviving RL. I've been thinking about you even though I've not been good at commenting/replying finding time to be a presence online. Booo, me.
YES! That's why the MoL reveal was so AMAZING. *dances* I remember being so excited and then freaking out about all THE POTENTIAL on LJ (also, I might've had a little crush on Henry Winchester bec. I have a thing for smarty-pants characters). I'm still hoping that we see the MoL history tie in with the Winchester's personal story, past and present, in the future rather than only using the MoL's bunker for a convenient place to find cases and solutions (the MoL's library is the new Bobby). TBH, I want John Wincheter's story to come back into the fold and by doing so that would drag in Henry's Winchester's story, too. Hell, I want John or some other family member (like Mary or Adam) to be part of Show again to shake Sam and Dean's world. Those boys need some MAJOR life-altering thing to happen so they start doing new things and refresh the story in an old way.

07/02/2018 Rod did an excellent job in diagnosing the problem and installing a new part to my central air unit. Up and running quickly and for a reasonable $$ charge. Stayed a few extra minutes to fully explain the repair and the new warranty on the part installed.
06/28/2018 I have been very satisfied with all the technicians that have come to service my heating and ac units. The last time a gentlemen by the name of Rod came and I was very happy with his knowledge and care of accessing my units. They are very thorough and make sure to inform and answer any questions you may have. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a company to service your Heater and AC units!
06/22/2018 Technician arrived in the time frame promised. He went about his work in a professional manner and explained what he had done.on the furnace which is in a small crawl space. He checked the outdoor air conditioner unit and verified that the surrounding bushes were not encroaching on the unit. I will continue to rely on B&B.
06/19/2018 Rod Davila arrived within the time window. He was very pleasant and diagnosed the problem with our swamp cooler right away. He cleaned it up and switched some pumps and we are good to go. He was very patient showing me how to work the control and even helped with the B&B app. We use B&B every spring to start up the cooler and every fall to shut it down, I hope Rod is our technician. Great job!
06/01/2018 Once again Marco went above and beyond to ensure that my AC is working at capacity for the summer season. Marco has been coming to do my Spring and Fall service for several years. Bay Bridge Condominiums has many residents that rely on Marco to take care of their heating and air conditioners twice a year. I recommend B&B Heating and Cooling because they are prompt, professional and competent to take care of any problem you may have with your heating and AC units. Thanks Marco!
06/01/2018 FANTASTIC! Showed up on time, worked on my issue in a timely fashion at a good price. Same as the first time I had to call them in an emergency situation, professional and work hard to complete the job on time. Jacob was awesome. I would recommend this company to anyone!
05/29/2018 I have had a Residential Energy Savings Agreement with B & B since August, 2015. Since that time I have become acquainted with Marco Arnez, and Nikki Wagner knows that I prefer to have him perform my scheduled maintenance each spring and fall. Marco is not only an extremely knowledgeable technician but is polite, friendly and very well organized.
05/13/2018 Marco did an amazing job fixing my ac unit. He was very thorough, honest, and efficient. He took the time to explain to me the issue and what needed to be done to fix the problem. I will use this company for any future repairs that are needed and recommend this company to everyone I know. Thank you Marco!
05/13/2018 Marco did an amazing job fixing my ac unit. He was very thorough and took the time to explain the issue and what needed to be done to fix the problem. I was impressed with his competency, honesty, and efficiency. I will recommend this company to everyone I know. Thank you Marco!
05/10/2018 I have used B&B for the last 3 years and they have been excellent! They are always professional, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone I have ever interacted with has been a pleasure. I highly recommend B&B...Marco and Rod are both great!
