Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Flushing Meadows Corona Park is one of New York's largest public parks, located in Queens and known for its immense green area where people enjoy hiking and picnicking. In addition, the park is near to other tourist attractions in the area. It includes a Zoo, a navigable lake, a baseball stadium, and Queens Botanical Garden. The park is ideal for hiking and outdoor exercises. It has an area of 3.63 square km and has many national and international sports venues.
It has famous landmarks such as the Unisphere, which built especially for the 1964 World's Fair.
This stainless steel sculpture was designed to represent the globe and celebrate the space age being promoted in the period. Nowadays, the grandeur of the monument attracts the attention of those who visit the place, making it a must visit for tourists passing through the park.
In addition to the Unisphere, the New York Pavilion with its towers remains.
This was a structure designed by the renowned American architect Philip Johnson, inspired by the launch platforms of space rockets. The set had an amphitheater and a circular plaza, crowned by the lookout towers.
There is an interesting option for visitors interested in history, which is to go through the Queens Museum, inside the park so, you can learn more about the history of the region and get a glimpse of the importance of the neighborhood to the city.
If you are traveling with children, you may also be interested in visiting the other museum in the park: the New York Hall of Science.
The park hosts important sports facilities such as Citi Field Stadium, the modern headquarters of the New York Mets.
It also houses the National Tennis Center, where the US Open takes place in late summer in New York.
The park is open 24 hours, visiting it at night is not a good idea. It is easy to get lost because of its enormous extension and does not have a good security system.
It is a peaceful place, ideal to walk quietly, lie on the grass and watch the planes take off from the nearby JFK and La Guardia.

Home News Government announces Self-Employed Income support scheme
Government announces Self-Employed Income support scheme
The NHBF continues to support the industry with resources and info over the coronavirus crisis. Here's their latest bulletin. The government has tonight announced a support package for the self-employed. The package will be available for three months, but like other business support measures announced, this will be kept under review.
Key points include:
A taxable grant of 80% of their average monthly profits over the last three years, based on tax returns filed. They must have filed a tax return for 2018-19. The maximum payable will be £2,500 per month, the same maximum as for 'furloughed' employees.
If a self-employed person does not have 3 years of tax returns, the grant will be paid based on whatever tax returns the individual has submitted. If tax returns for 2019 have not yet been filed (they were due by 31 January 2020), self-employed people now have four weeks to get them submitted.
Self-employed businesses which have a trading profit of £50,000 or less and who make most of their income from self-employment will be eligible to claim the grant.
Those who pay themselves a salary and dividends through their own company are not covered by the scheme but will be covered for their salary by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme if they are operating PAYE schemes.
There will be a delay while HMRC sets up new systems to process the grants, which are not expected to be available until early June. HMRC will contact self-employed people who have filed returns to ask them to fill in an online form. The grant will then be paid as a single payment covering three months straight into the individual's bank account.
In the meantime, the self-employed can access business interruption loans which are available interest-free for 12 months.
Self-employed people can access Universal Credit at the same rate as Statutory Sick Pay is paid for employees. The minimum income floor for Universal Credit has been suspended for everyone affected by the coronavirus so a self-employed person with no income should be able to claim Universal Credit at a similar rate to someone who is unemployed. The Chancellor also said that advance payments can be made 'within days' after a claim is submitted, rather than the usual wait of 5 weeks.
Hilary Hall, NHBF chief executive said, "We're delighted that the Chancellor has announced this support for the self-employed, although we would like to have seen payments being processed earlier than June. We know that many self-employed stylists, barbers and beauty therapists have been extremely worried about money and their finances will already be stretched."
She added, "The Chancellor warned that the self-employed will be expected to 'pay in equally' in the future because they don't pay as much into the system as employees do, yet were being provided with government support which is similar to what employees get. He may be signalling changes such as self-employed people making pension contributions, National Insurance Contributions changes or bringing in IR35 sooner. This may prompt self-employed stylists, barbers and beauty therapists to reconsider whether they want to continue as self-employed, or switch to employment."

Why buy in Asturias ?
For those seeking their dream home in the sun, over the last 10 years, Spain has regrettably become associated with empty, faceless housing developments and resorts. Beaches have become overcrowded and restaurants overpriced. Even some of the villages now have more Irish themed pubs than authentic tapas bars. However, all is not lost. There is still one unique gem left in the north of the country. Asturias. They call it the green coast or costa verde. It has been overlooked. And we believe that it will become the new Spanish Tuscany.
The locals call it their "paraiso natural� (Nature Paradise). It is green with lush hills, rough mountains and beautiful white sandy beaches. Asturias has been almost entirely untouched by developers. And the local population and government want to keep it that way!
We believe that if you want to renovate a traditional building, whether it�s a stone cottage or a mill, then Asturias has got the most interesting housing stock, representing the best value for money, in the whole of Spain. With propertyasturias.com you will only find exquisite period properties handpicked to meet your brief.
If you are looking for the real Spain, please get in touch with us and we will show you a side of Spain you would have otherwise never discovered. Come and share the best kept secret in Spain.
We look forward to seeing you in Asturias!

I don't get my gear ready and think, "Wow, I hope I can find some leaves in the ice today!" I tend to come upon things that capture my interest. I have always been drawn to transparency and light. Anything with complimentary colors makes me take a second look. Texture intrigues me.
Sunday I thought I should head over to the mass of daffodils on my hillside when I encountered this – the ice from the top of the birdbath, cast aside and melting into the grass. It stopped me for almost an hour.
I forgot the daffodils, I know they will still be there on the next sunny day. You have to appreciate ice while it's here. It melts is fast and then it is gone forever.

great photos, love the photo of the road through the trees at the top of your blog now.
Thanks – that photo is my road. A few inches of snow and it's transformed into something more scenic than it really is.
These are so beautiful, funny how that happens.
Love the patterns on the ice you've captured.
(I always vow to go for just a 'short' walk and always get distracted and walk in my front door 3-4 hours later, so I know how one can get sidetracked).
Thanks Vicki – I wish I had shot some focussing more inside the ice, but time got away from me. Isn't that the way it goes – I did finally get to the daffodil buds.
Completely agree with your first paragraph. Great photos.
Awesme photos! I love when icicles hang off roofs as well!
I don't know how you ever get anywhere, but I'm glad you stop, click and especially that you share!
Well then, I'm glad you get to your computer!
I have used the same process, gone after a similar leaf in frozen water look and never come away with beautiful photos like these – that is what I saw. I particularly like the last one.
Thanks Lyle – I think that the ice was in the sunlight with grass underneath helped. I have a nice little macro lens that gives me that very shallow DOF on shots like this too.
LOL – I have a 90mm equivalent. It's a Leica and I love it. I have an old bellows macro set up I want to play with this spring.
Ooh love it! I didn't expect that shadow to be from the ice for some reason. I thought it'd be from the curve of the leaf. Then the angles matched the ice. Very cool!
Thanks – I think the leaf started inside the ice and it melted away – those curves just matched too closely.
Gorgeous! A few more weeks and no more ice but plenty of color to keep you inspired!
I am sooooo looking forward to color and springtime, but for now I'll take it where I can find it – Thanks!

Central Ohio Transportation History Through Historical Markers – July 2020
Architecture, History, Museum, Transportation
As you travel around Ohio you will often see historical markers – there are 1700 of them scattered throughout the state. Using sound caution during these challenging times I spent a couple of hours running around the area finding markers that highlight the history of transportation in Central Ohio. This allowed me to start again the photo efforts, as well as history research, while avoiding people.
The National Road
Ohio was still wilderness in the late 1700s, inhabited by only Native Americans. When the Europeans arrived and started to push west from the eastern seaboard the state was one of the first destinations. The primary route for many of these settlers was the National Road.
In Ohio the National Road started on the western end of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River. (this historic marker is from West Virginia)
Initially it was just a trail through the countryside. This non paved alley in a small Ohio town is the exact location of the trail.
The National Road had mile markers indicating how far you were from Cumberland, Maryland, the eastern terminus.
A number of the famed 'S' bridges were along the route. This one dates from the early days of the automobile.
This S Bridge dates from the pre-automotive days.
Of course as soon as you have people and transportation someone is going to go off course.
Not long after the National Road was first completed the canals started to be built. This transportation mode was the primary driver that lead Ohio to become the the 3rd most populated state by 1840, a position it would hold until Illinois passed it in 1900.
The canals opened up the interior of the state with connections to the Great Lakes and the Ohio River.
In addition to the main canals, there were 'feeder canals' branching off to spur industrial development.
The little village of Lockville has 3 locks in a short distance, as well as a vintage covered bridge that would've once crossed it.
The city of Groveport has restored their lock.
The town of Lockbourne is proud of their canal and lock heritage, although their one lock could us a bit of attention.
The canals had their heyday until the trains became prevalent in the 1850s.
While the mainline trains carried commerce and passengers across the state and beyond, Ohio became a center for the 'Interurban'.
The Interurban served as a local transportation option between cities closely aligned, essentially the same as today's commuter rail systems.
The map below shows how extensive the interurban network was in the state.
As one of the larger cities in the state, Columbus was a hub for the interurban transportation.
The line going south out of the city was known as the Scioto Valley Interurban.
Amazingly it had a third rail in the countryside (providing the power from a rail in the ground, not overhead wires). You would think that a number of cows became instant steaks by stepping on these…
The rails are still part of a street in the town of Groveport.
Canal Winchester has restored their Interurban station as a community center.
While nearby the town had a mainline train station.
While the Wright Brothers were the first developers of the airplane in nearby Dayton in the first decade of the 1900s, it took until 1923 for Columbus to have it's first permanent air field.
It was named Norton Field, and as the historical marker indicates, was named after a Columbus native and World War I casualty John Norton. The opening was attended by Eddie Rickenbacker (more below on Eddie).
The field was located east of the city, just south of the current airport.
It was used primarily by the military, and was shut down as suburbia reached the area in the 1950s. Today the only reminder of it's history (other than the marker) is the park in the neighborhood.
Just north of Norton Field is John Glenn Columbus International Airport, whose airport code is CMH – Columbus Metropolitan Hangar – the original name for the field.
The airport location was selected by Charles Lindbergh as the eastern terminus of the Transcontinental Air Transport. This unique design had passengers travel to Columbus from New York on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
From Columbus the passengers could fly to a town called Waynoka, Oklhoma, where they would again get on a train – this time to Clovis, New Mexico.
In Clovis they would again get on an airplane and fly on to Los Angeles.
The photo below clearly shows how close the train was to the airport. Note the T-A-T airplanes in the foreground – they later merged with Western Air Express to become TWA.
The entire concept was a disaster. In 18 months they lost $2.7m, was involved in the first plane crash on a regular commercial route, and eventually became involved in a scandal known as the Air Mail scandal.
But the airport survived. This photo looking southwest shows the field.
Norton Field is in the upper left grassy area, and on the center right is the construction of Curtiss-Wright Airplane factory. This factory built military aircraft until the 1988.
The original terminal sits unused in a distant corner of the airport.
A sign of the times are a number of currently mothballed aircraft – waiting for travel to return after COVID.
Eddie Rickenbacker grew up in this modest house on the east side of Columbus. From this start Eddie lead a most eventful life. He was a World War I fighter pilot – race car driver – automobile designer – and pioneer in air transportation, leading Pan Am Airlines.
Eddie's name graces the former air force base turned freight airport – Rickenbacker International Airport.
Central Ohio has had a long history of transportation – perhaps a Hyperloop is next…

Virtual Travel – Illinois
Architecture, Art, Festival, History, Museum, Nature, Sports, Transportation
Today's stop – Illinois
1959 – With the Interstate's recently been started, Illinois was proud to show one of their's on the cover. At this time the only freeways in the state were in the Chicago area.
The Tri-State Tollway was one of the first completed. It was one of the first to built service plaza over the traffic lanes.
Hinsdale Oasis today
1961 – Cook County (Chicago) Motor Vehicle Office. From 1900 until 1960 Cook County had the largest population of any county in the United States. It has since been passed by Los Angeles, County, but remains 2nd most populated to this day.
By 1961 freeways had been built through Chicago to downtown from every direction. This view is the Northwest/AKA – Kennedy Expressway. Amazingly there are reversible express lanes in the middle.
This view from 2012 looks much the same.
1968 – Celebrating Illinois' Sesquicentennial, 150 years of statehood. Who better than Abraham Lincoln for the cover.
1970 – View of the loop downtown Chicago.
1973, 1975 & 1978 – They must have fired the photographer.
1976 – A tribute to the Native Americans and pioneers. The first European explorers in the region were Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette, which explains the number of French names for towns.
The Native American tribes included the Miami, Winnebago, Fox, Sacs, and of course – the Illinois.
Cahokia Mounds State Histori Site is the location of a pre-Columbian Native American city that they estimate once had 40,000 residents in the year 1100.
They were, as most tribes in this area, mound builders.
1979 – Transportation in Illinois. While Chicago was a center of the early automotive manufacturing by the 1920s much had gone out of business and moved to Detroit.
Today there are 3 automobile manufacturing facilities in Illinois. The most important is the Chicago Ford Assembly Plant.
This factory is the oldest continually operated factory for Ford.
1983 – Frank Lloyd Wright.
Frank Lloyd Wright had a studio in Oak Park, and design a plethora of fantastic homes and buildings throughout Chicago, and the world.
1985 – People's of the Past.
1987 – Festivals. Chicago has some of the country's best festivals.
Chicago Festival
1989 – Another year, another Lincoln map.
World's largest Lincoln statue. 72′ high, hanging out in a campground.
1989 – The hill country of Southern Illinois
1991 – Illinois & Michigan Canal. This canal linked the Illinois River to Lake Michigan, thus providing the first interior route from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
When it was in use mules or horses pulled the barges along the canal. (Photo – Chicago Public Library)
Today you can rent a longboat and spend a vacation on the canal. (photo – iandmcanal,org)
1993 – Celebrating Craftmaking.
1995 – History of Illinois Roads. When the first European settlers began to arrive in larger numbers they made their way inland via 'traces'. These roads generally followed the Native American paths that had been used for hundreds of years.
1995 – Showing the Regions of Illinois.
1997 – Another Lincoln Statue. There are over 200 Lincoln statues in the United States.
This one is in New Salem, Illinois.
New Salem State Historic Site is a reconstructed town that Lincoln lived in from 1831 to 1837. It was from here he was first elected to public office. (Photo from Wikipedia)
Once again in the late 90s and early 2000s a state has chosen to have nondescript scenes on their maps.
2005 – War Memorials throughout Illinois.
2007 & 2011 – Again celebrating the regions of Illinois.
Chicago is easily the most visited part of the state. The architecture here is second to none.
2009 – Lincoln Presidential Library 2015 – Lincoln (again)
Located in Springfield it is an impressive building in a state full of Lincoln tributes.
2013 – Modes of Transportation
O'Hare Airport in Chicago in 1956 (photo from Airways Magazine). For you airport code trivia fans, most have seen baggage routing tags with ORD for this airport.
It was originally a small airport for a factory known as Orchard Place, and gained that code then. ORchardD.
2015 – Mississippi River Bridge. It can easily be forgotten that there the Mississippi River runs the entire western boundary of Illinois. This bridge connects St Louis with southern Illinois.
2017 – Our last stop is at a Lincoln Cabin made out of …. Lincoln Logs.

Cumberland, Maryland – Late Fall 2016 Road Trip – Day 1
History, Transportation
With the Veterans Day holiday I figured out I had enough vacation time for a week long road trip, deciding to take a road trip visiting Washington, D.C., the Eastern Shore, the Outer Banks, and back through North Carolina, Tennessee and eastern Kentucky. We were able to leave home mid afternoon, making it to Cumberland, Maryland by 7 PM. As we were checking in the Fairfield Inn we asked the desk clerk for a restaurant recommend; his was the Ristorante Ottavianni on Center Street
After a nice walk along the canal trail to the restaurant we enjoyed scallop pesto linguine with the best scallops ever, along with a chicken parm meal. After dinner we returned along the canal trail seeing an old canal boat docked behind our hotel.
Historically, Cumberland was known as the "Queen City," as it was once the second largest city in the state. Due to its strategic location on what became known as the Cumberland Road through the Appalachians, it served as a staging point for westward migrations after the American Revolution into the settlement of Ohio Country.
For us it meant it was a good place to stop for the night just a couple of hours from DC.

Troy, OH Area – October 2015 – Airplanes and Airstreams
With a few 2015 vacation days left I opted to take a Thursday off and head back out to western Ohio for a couple of unique stops. First on the agenda the Waco (pronounced like taco) Aircraft Museum in Troy, Ohio. Waco produced planes between 1919 and 1947, starting as the Weaver Aircraft Company, hence Waco. Once they began they became known as manufacturers of reliable, rugged airplanes popular with postal services, explorers and others.
Their first closed cabin models began in the 1930s, before that they were all open cockpit bi-planes. During the second world war they made a number of gliders, as well as some trainers. The museum celebrates all of the above with a nice collection of artifacts and complete airplanes situated along side a grass runway.
The initial building contains models, small artifacts, a library and a couple of planes. The second building contains some beautifully restored wooden airplanes, as well as a aviation fuel truck from the 'teens'.
On the way to our final stop of the day we passed through a small town called Lockington. It is named so after a series of locks that were built between 1833-1845 on the Miami and Erie Canal, consisting of seven locks along with a turn around basin, unique for the time. The locks stretch for almost 4 miles.
There are three in the Ohio Historical Site in the town.
Our final stop for the day was the Airstream Factory in Jackson Center, Ohio. Airstream has been building RV trailers here since the 1950s after starting out in California in the 1920s. After hanging out in the service counter lounge for about 30 minutes our tour of about 12 people took off, lead by two retired workers who had worked for Airstream for 40+ years.
We happened to be there on a day there was no production, which was disappointing in some ways but worked out in others as we could go into each work space and inspect the process closely, just not live. Unfortunately they are fairly restrictive on photographs as well, but did permit any you liked outside, and a few locations inside.
They walked us through the entire manufacturing process, showing us the rolls of the famous silver aluminum, the framing process, quality control and finally the interior fit out. Across the street is another factory that they build out the motorhomes based on a Mercedes Benz van chassis. All in all it was very interesting, free, and a good way to spend a couple of hours. I look forward to going back some day when production is running.

Akron – August 2011 – Aeros Minor League Baseball
Architecture, Sports
A beautiful sunny weekend day with nothing else to do – time for some baseball. A quick trip to downtown Akron brought us to Canal Park, yet another in the retro style stadiums that have been built since the 1990s.
As the name suggests this park sits next to the old 1800s canal that still exists through Akron.
The stadium itself is nice, with a red brick exterior.
The play was good.
The entertainment amusing – especially sumo football.

Q: Simple SQL query to select a max I need a small help with a SQL query.
I have two tables: tbltrans and tbltrans_temp. I want to select the maximum of tbltrans_temp max(tbltrans_temp.transid).
If tbltrans_temp is empty and it returns null, it should then take the max of tbltrans.transid.
If both tables are empty, it should just return 0.
I tried the following but didn't get the result expected.
select ifnull(ifnull(max(t1.transid), max(t2.transid)), 0)
from tbltrans_temp t1
left join tbltrans as t2

A: This works using COALESCE:
select coalesce(maxtemptrans, maxtrans, 0)
from (select max(transid) maxtemptrans from tbltrans_temp) t,
    (select max(transid) maxtrans from tbltrans ) t2

*

*SQL Fiddle Demo

A: Try:
select coalesce((select max(transid) from tbltrans_temp),
                (select max(transid) from tbltrans),
                0)

A: You were close -- just remove the join:
select ifnull(ifnull(max(t1.transid), max(t2.transid)),0)
from tbltrans_temp t1, tbltrans t2

Glyphosate residue found
Jo FulwoodCountryman
Thu, 13 September 2012 2:47AM
A study in the US Midwest has found residual levels of glyphosate in soils previously planted to Roundup-resistant crops.
But a visiting US Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist says these residual levels can be managed on-farm through the maintenance of soil fertility and organic matter.
"After 16 years of Roundup Ready crops, particularly corn and soybeans, researchers are now detecting glyphosate in the soil and run off water in the Midwest of the US," USDA microbiologist Bob Kremer said.
"Residual glyphosate has only just been detected in the last year so it's really difficult to extrapolate that that's going to affect future crops, but there could be a potential," he said
Dr Kremer presented the findings of the study 'Glyphosate relationship with soil biology in glyphosate resistance crops' to farmers at the WANTFA spring field day in Cunderdin last week.
He said it was very important for farmers to maintain a diverse biological system to keep a full nutrient cycle going for plant uptake. "We do know that it takes several micro-organisms to break down the complex molecules of glyphosate," he said.
"There are instances where glyphosate is used for vegetation management in systems such as orchards, where they control the vegetation in the alleys with glyphosate and then it has been determined that, in time, as that vegetation dies, the glyphosate releases from the plants and it may remain in the soil and it can be transferred to the living roots of the orchard crops."
Dr Kremer said it had been related to reduced productivity in those trees, which included lower yields.
"Anything that disrupts the microbiology of the soil could see an impact on plant growth and yield potential," he said.
Dr Kremer said researchers had detected an increase in the fungus fusarium on the roots of plants that had been recently sprayed with glyphosate. "So far we haven't seen that develop into a plant disease but the potential is there," he said.
Dr Kremer said growers should regularly test their soils to ensure adequate levels of soil carbon and the maintenance of microbial diversity.
Practical methods of addressing the issue included stubble retention, no-till practices and crop and chemical rotations.
Dr Kremer's trip to Australia was funded by the Department of Agriculture and Food.

Interviews with experts in longevity, health, wellness, life design strategy, happiness, and work -life balance, Charlie explores how to live our lives from a place of financial abundance, engagement and joy.
Todd had hustle from an early age and started building his empire from scratch. By the time he was 23, he was a millionaire and he retired from his job as a hedge fund manager at 35! Talk about fast tracking retirement! Todd has so much wisdom to share, so join us for the discussion!
Todd has a B.A. in Economics from the University of California at Davis and he's a member of Economics Honors Society and Deans List. At age 23, he had already raised a million dollars using the same strategies found on his website financialmentor.com. He retired at age 35 from his position as a Hedge Fund Investment Manager after producing a 20+ million dollar portfolio. He was an early pioneer and expert in statistical and mathematical risk management systems for investing. Today he is still an active investor who earns consistent investment returns in both up and down markets.
"When I looked at traditional retirement planning, I was appalled!"
Dave Sanderson knows how quickly your life can change in a single moment. He knows because that is exactly what happened to him. While on an ordinary business trip, he had a fateful moment. You see, he was on the flight that due to a bird strike, had to make an emergency landing in the middle of the Hudson River. It's an aviation feat never before accomplished, and after that brush with fate, Dave's life has not been the same! Dave has learned a lot of things in the last 7 years, but one thing he now knows is that each moment in our lives matters.
Dave Sanderson survived the US Airways flight 1549 which crash-landed on the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. The incident has come to be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson". He was the last passenger to escape from the sinking plane after helping others to safety. At that moment, he feared for his own life, but remembered the words of his late mother who always told him, "If you do the right thing, God will take care of you." He did what someone with a Boy Scout's training would. Others helped, too, and everyone survived. His life had changed dramatically from that day. He has become an inspirational speaker and author. His stimulating thoughts on leadership have made him a highly sought-after speaker.

Humans have different levels of thinking. They fall under 2 major categories : 1) Cognitive domain where knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation fall; 2) Affective thinking which include emotions, attitudes, appreciations, interpersonal relations, and values. There are also 2 types of thinking under the Cognitive domain. These are 1) critical thinking which involves logic and reasoning, patterning, analogies, deductive & inductive reasoning, forecasting, planning, hypothesizing, and critiquing; and 2) Creative thinking which involves creating something original and which involves imagery, associative thinking, and metaphorical thinking.

Building a business while growing a family is a very challenging role because we have to nurture all relationships – with the spouse, the children, clients, employees, providers, and the public to keep all situations flourishing and worry-free. Others find it a difficult role so they either choose to do one thing first before adding the other – which means, build a business first and once it has grown then build a family next; or vice versa; raise a family first then build the business later.
Positive relationships at home and at work are the key to a successful business. This consequently leads to happiness and fulfillment. It's critical to maintain and nurture these relationships with people we work with and do business with.
Our guest, Susie Miller, the better-relationship coach, suggests strategies to keep both marriage and business positively nurtured. She is an author, speaker, and is fully dedicated to helping create better relationships . Through her bestselling book Listen, Learn, Love, she has proven that any relationship can be repaired or strengthened.
Susie talks about a toxic kind of conflict and a "good" kind of conflict.
What is the PROFIT strategy in marriage?
What is the Love language? How should couples apply this strategy in their marriage?
How should people apply this in their relationships?
Great relationships have been proven to improve life and business.
Today's episode features the story of spouses Stephen Hnilica and Aris Creates who call themselves Backpack Entrepreneurs. They also call the global group they're forming #digitalnomads while sociologists refer to their groups as transnational entrepreneurs . They use the internet and their travels to grow their cross-border contacts. Revolutionary innovations in electronic communication and transportation technology help them build easy and fast contacts across long distances around the globe.
Stephen and Aris are urban entrepreneurs from Tampa, Florida who set themselves up on a mission to travel the world to speak, teach, and share their business profile. They likewise learn a lot from their growing network of social connections around the world. Stephen originally walked from his hometown Tampa, Florida to Seattle, Washington in 2013 to raise $100,000 for the education of 10,000 poor children in India. He encountered obstacles and a number of challenging situations but his campaign was a success.
When he and Aris met in 2015, they discovered that they share the passions for business development, problem-solving, and technology. They decided to work and live together to share their entrepreneurial knowledge with other people. The couple believes that anyone who has the right attitude, tools, and guidance can live a similar life of freedom. They are having so much fun and are very grateful for the opportunity to travel and share their skills and talents worldwide.
Their challenges, difficulties, risks they face, and fears.
Their tips for other backpack entrepreneurs.
We want to bring together people in a global community where we support one another toward living the life of freedom.
Many young couples dream of owning big homes because part of their dream is to have enormous space for their growing family. However, if you own a big home you also have to deal with expensive upkeep, big realty taxes, and huge worries on paying an army of housekeepers, handyman, landscaper, gardener, communication network technician, and perhaps security personnel. To keep up with the cost of keeping a big home, you have to work awfully hard to earn big so that you can pay your big bills. Moreover, privacy can be compromised because of the presence of a maintenance crew. Family bonding is also adversely affected when there is a problem of tracking down family members. When they are out of speaking (or shouting) range, family interaction is reduced to text messaging or intercom chats.
Our guest, Zack Giffin, host of Tiny House Nation TV show, is a staunch advocate of tiny house movement, a trend in the U.S. housing market where a simpler lifestyle means financial freedom. He and his friend John Weisbarth travel across America to show all the advantages of living in small dwellings and mobile mini-homes. They help families design and construct their own dream tiny-homes. Families are opting to downsize to manageable spaces no larger than 300 square feet or even smaller.
Why you would always need more accomplishments to feel accomplished.
Why we should be constantly looking for bigger achievements.
Zack didn't get paid until he was 29 y old.
How and why people living in tiny homes are happier.
The expenses in our life dictate the way we live.

If you love what you're doing, it's not work at all, it's something else. Want to make another guess?
When you're tired working, don't retire, just continue "desiring" the life of your dreams.
Killing Retirement encourages people to pursue the life they've always desired after decades of working in their government or corporate jobs. Your senior years are just the beginning of realizing your biggest dreams. It's called the shift to "Desirement". Desirement is the time you stop your 9-to-5 hard work and start enjoying life fully and yet never worry about money.

Robert's business model/theory of busting loose from the money game is open to multiple interpretations and applications as he himself has multiple names for his concepts. Yet his business coaching played a major part in the stunning success of Blue Ocean Software, Nike, Starbucks, Virgin Atlantic and Connecting Point of America.
Robert, Father of 2 (Ali and Aidan) is a bestselling author, speaker and coach for what's generally called consciousness expansion, spiritual development, and what he calls ultimate freedom, and now the Truth with a capital T.
Through his request, his grandfather, Aaron Scheinfeld, the founder and owner of Manpower, Inc. introduced him to the world of business. He asked him how he became so successful and famous. His grandpa mentioned something about the invisible power and began to introduce a few concepts to his grandson. Unfortunately, his grandpa passed away without completing the training of Robert. He spent over 3 decades putting the pieces the puzzle together. Eventually, he developed a transformational business model. He specializes in building a business from scratch using only the resources available to him.
He has authored several books, including the Busting Loose from the Money Game, and also the bestsellers The Invisible Path to Success, and The 11th Element.
Robert says that the Money Game is all about feelings, not thinking, logic, or intellect but it is also experiential yet it happens in the mindset. See if you can follow that by listening to his podcast.
About the power source from the invisible world and how nothing in plain sight can be as powerful.
He says the mind has to be reprogrammed.
He says: You + Your Expanded Self = Consciousness. As hard as it may be to believe, when other players appear in your hologram, they're 100 percent your creation. No one has any power or independent decision-making authority in your hologram beyond what your Expanded Self gives them through their "scripts" to support you on your Human Game journey. There's no power outside of you in your hologram—not in anyone, not in anything. You alone have all the power in your hologram.
Phase 2 is the process of drilling through the cloud cover. Your Expanded Self is driving the bus in Phase 2. You can't make a mistake, mess anything up, or blow it. You just trust your Expanded Self and flow with what you feel inspired or motivated to do, moment to moment. As you do the Phase 2 work, you must always remember the treasure that awaits you at the end of the journey. It's worth it!
Phase 3 is playing as new game in the sunshine and with navigation support . It is getting to the point where you can play in the sunshine.
You must always really feel The Truth behind the words you use, he says.
Listen to him talk and share your thoughts with us on Facebook.
My journey into Ultimate Freedom started the day my grandfather, Aaron Scheinfeld, took me aside and started telling me the real reasons behind his remarkable success.
Today's guest has something for Killing Retirement. She has one effective method that can change and make the future better for our children, grandchildren, and future generations – wisdom in behavior, in making choices and decisions in life. Financial literacy and business acumen will surely happen alongside this kind of wisdom.
Gabrielle V. Taylor earned a BA in Economics from the University of Illinois and an MBA in finance and marketing from the University of Chicago's Booth Graduate School of Business. She currently leads a strategic management consultancy based in Littleton, Colorado. Prior to setting up her own firm in Colorado, she was a management consultant with Kuczmarski & Associates (K&A) in Chicago, Illinois where she specialized in developing new products and services as well as marketing strategies. She resigned from K & A to devote time for her family, especially her first daughter, then later on a second daughter born 2 years after. While raising her children, she tried to document the experiences and lessons learned for future reference, but realized that diaries, albums and journals would not serve her long-term purposes well. She decided to write a book dedicated to her 2 young daughters and inspired by her uniquely phenomenal Grandma Valentine. This bestselling book, Legacy of Wisdom, has earned positive reviews from readers for its delightfully engaging story about family values, child rearing techniques, and insightful life lessons that transcend cultures, eras, and generations.
How parents should develop and nurture wisdom in their children.
Gabrielle could not have published her book if her husband had not given her this gift. Listen to the podcast to know what this gift is.
The Legacy of Wisdom is a powerful tool for creating a better future. There should be more such books written for the present and future generations.
There's something really useful that Gabrielle or other authors could include in their next book. What could this be?
Wisdom is knowing and doing the right thing, based on a keen understanding of human emotions and behaviors and the use of experience to develop a better understanding of life. – Grandma Valentine, Grandma of Gabrielle Taylor.
How to take a new business and make it work for you.
What kinds of systems were most important and how Josh determined this.
How to understand what you truly want and set your course.
BONUS: a new app that helps you offer platinum service to your customers - and potential customers.
Our second episode of "Killing Retirement" digs deep into the question: "what do you want to do with your life?" and (more importantly) WHY? She's focusing on the group of parents she calls "helicopter parents" and the children that come from that parenting style.
As part of "Killing Retirement", we're seeking out answers for people who are just starting out in life as well as folks who are mid-career or closing in on retirement. What if you could start your working life off with the understanding that from true passion brings true reward? Listen to this week's podcast to find out more.

By Peter H. Putman
Published: March 1, 1998
Mar 1, 1998 12:00 PM,
If you have kept up with the national magazines, newspapers, television andradio broadcasts, and trade publications, you have no doubt heard plentyabout the "new flat-screen displays" and "Buck Rodgers TV sets"-in otherwords, plasma displays. Perhaps you've even seen a few at CES, NAB,INFOCOMM, CEDIA, COMDEX, and other industry showcases. Plasma displays arecertainly generating a lot of press coverage and industry hype for theirdesign and feature sets, most notably their ability to produce large,bright images in boxes with less than 10 inches (254 mm) of depth. They dothis using a hybrid technology, combining the fixed pixel structure of aliquid-crystal display with tiny phosphors (similar to those used in CRTmonitors and projectors) excited by ionized gas discharges.
Plasma monitor sizes vary from 33 inches (838 mm) all the way to 50 inches(1.3 m) and are available in either 16:9 or 4:3 formats. There arecurrently four major players in the plasma market-Fujitsu, who OEMs a 16:940 inch (1 m) monitor to several companies; Mitsubishi, who has delayed thelaunch of its 4:3 Leonardo monitor until mid-1998; NEC, who offers a 4:3plasma display and has shown a 42 inch (1.1 m) 16:9 prototype, and Pioneer,who will be selling a 4:3 display.
The next waveAre these products the next wave in direct-view monitors? Will theysupplant conventional CRT technology or coexist with it? Given theavailable resolutions and price, the thinking here is that plasma has aways to go before it knocks other display technology off the hilltop. Forstarters, the maximum vertical resolution of any currently available plasmadisplay, whether 4:3 or 16:9, is only 480 lines. NEC and Pioneer both offer640 x 480 (VGA) resolution displays, while the 16:9 displays sold byFujitsu (and its OEM partners) and shown by NEC have an 852 x 480 pixelcount.
This means that a pixel interpolation system must be used to handle signalsat 800 x 600 (SVGA), 1,024 x 768 (XGA) and higher vertical resolutions.Because many of the plasma products available will handle SVGA, XGA andeven SXGA horizontal and vertical scan rates, high-resolution photographyand illustrations will translate over in an acceptable manner. However,small text and icons and the fine lines often found in workstation graphicswill probably drop out or break up.
The second limitation is one that plagues all flat-panel displays, whetherthey be LCD, DLP or plasma: their inability to generate deep, saturatedblacks in the picture, a problem caused by refraction and scattering oflight within the pixel structure. As a result, image grayscales arecompressed, lowering contrast ratios and resulting in pictures of less thanoptimal contrast. It is not as noticeable under high ambient lightinglevels (an area in which plasma displays excel), but the difference isclear when compared to a direct-view CRT monitor.
With these limitations, you're probably wondering why anyone would replacea CRT direct-view with the equivalent plasma product, especially in view ofthe higher price tag that plasma carries. Well, one big reason is weight;33 inch (838 mm) 4:3 plasma monitors tip the scales around 60 to 70 pounds(27 to 32 kg), while a 40 inch (1 m) 16:9 display barely approaches 100pounds (45 kg). Contrast those numbers with 37 to 40 inch (940 mm to 1 m)direct-view CRT monitors at 200 to 270 pounds (90 to 122 kg). As Imentioned earlier, plasma monitors only require about five to eight inches(127 to 203 mm) of depth, 1/4 to 1/3 of the equivalent direct-view CRTmonitor.
>From an environmental standpoint, plasma monitors are very "green". For alltheir light output, they have lower levels of electromagnetic emissionsthan CRTs, levels similar to those in LCD displays. This characteristicappeals to designers of kiosks and interactive displays where a viewer'snose might be parked only a couple of feet from the screen. Additionally,plasma displays consume much less power than a conventional direct-view CRTmonitor.
Carving a nicheManufacturing plasma displays with higher resolutions is a tricky businessat the present time. Unlike LCD panels, there is only one pixel sizeavailable, so increased resolution means larger panels with more weight.These are two technical issues being wrestled with by Pioneer and Fujitsubefore they start selling 50 inch (1.3 m) 1,024 x 768 resolution displaysto the general public. (Look for pre-production XGA plasma monitors to beshown at NAB '98 and INFOCOMM '98.)
As a result, plasma monitors will probably gain acceptance in applicationswhere composite/component video is viewed most of the time and space iseither at a premium or a flush-mount installation is desired. Advertisingkiosks, airport signboards, video conferencing rooms and home theater aresome of the first markets that will accommodate plasma. Classrooms andauditoriums displaying video, VGA- and SVGA-resolution graphics will alsobe able to put plasma to work, provided the price drops to a levelcomparable to direct-view monitors.
Here's a trick that's tough to do with conventional direct-view CRTmonitors: 16:9 plasma monitors have been successfully used in a vertical(portrait) orientation as dynamic signboards, cycling through still imagesand graphics while video plays on another horizontally oriented display. Aslong as we're daydreaming here, plasma monitors could also be incorporatedinto an ultra-slim videowall with some rigging, taking up less than halfthe space required by CRT rear-projection cubes.
A place of their ownFor better or worse, plasma technology is being shipped and installed inapplications where an LCD/CRT projector or CRT direct view doesn't alwaysfit the bill. If a customer wants a flat-screen TV, there's not muchcompetition-neither LCD or DLP technologies can be adapted to makingcommercially available ultra-slim, larger-than-life displays. Sharp didshow a 40 inch (1 m) TFT display at COMDEX in 1996, accomplished bystitching together four 20 inch (508 mm) panels, but it isn't currentlyslated for production.
The continued development of high-quality outboard video scaling engines,such as Snell & Wilcox's Interpolator series, will help the plasma monitormarket. These devices work a lot harder than conventional pixel-mappingprocesses to interpolate lower and higher resolution signals to a plasmamonitor's sweet spot (native resolution). The result is an image that hasmore of a grainy look that resembles film, as opposed to the pixelated lookso common to LCD and DLP projectors.
As usual, the key to increasing the demand for plasma will be expressed indollar signs. To paraphrase a popular film on baseball, "If you lower theprice, they will come." Weight and size notwithstanding, CRT direct-viewmonitors are still considerably cheaper than their plasma cousins, offersuperior colorimetry and grayscale rendering, and require no external imagescaling or interpolation. It's no surprise that two of the major players inthe direct-view market-NEC and Mitsubishi-have retained and even expandedtheir CRT offerings.

2009 Conference: Evanston IL, USA
Official Conference Website:
The ISSID 2009 meeting was held in conjunction with the first free-standing meeting of the Association of Research in Personality (ARP). ARP met from July 16th through July 18th, 2009. The ISSID program officially started on the evening of Saturday, July 18th and continued to Wednesday, July 22nd.
There were two poster sessions, although presenters were encouraged to put up their poster the first day and leave it there for the the duration of the meeting. Presenters had an opportunity to discuss their poster during either the first or second session. The poster boards were 122 x 244 cm (4′ x 8′) landscape.
The program is available as a pdf. There were 6 keynote speakers, 15 symposia, 69 papers and 50 posters.
ISSID had registration and a reception on Saturday, July 18th. The reception (6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.) was held jointly with the membership of ARP and was a chance to meet other personality psychologists. Before the reception, there was a keynote address by James Heckman.
The program for Monday afternoon, July 20th, included free time to take tours of Chicago, visit the museums, and parks, or just talk to friends.
Evanston, Illinois is the home of Northwestern University and is located 20 km from the center of the city of Chicago. Evanston is 20 km from O'Hare airport, 32 km from Midway airport and may be reached by public transportation or car.
The meetings were held at the Orrington Hotel, in downtown Evanston. The Orrington is about 1 km from the Department of Psychology, and about .5 km from Lake Michigan.
Travel and Visas
Getting to Chicago is very easy: O'Hare airport has non-stop flights from many European and Asian cities and most major American cities. Direct (although not non-stop) flights are also available from from Australia and New Zealand. Getting a visa could take some time.
Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. The average high temperature in mid July in Evanston is 80F/26C. The average low is 63F/16C. However, the variance can be substantial. Because Evanston is located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the temperature is somewhat moderated from that experienced at OHare or further from the lake.
