The door is closing for US passport holders to access North Korea. As previously threatened the Department of State issued a rule today "declaring all U.S. passports invalid for travel to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) unless the travel meets certain criteria." The rule was published in the Federal Register and takes effect in 30 days.
The Department of State has determined that the serious risk to United States nationals of arrest and long-term detention represents imminent danger to the physical safety of United States nationals traveling to and within the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), within the meaning of 22 CFR 51.63(a)(3). Therefore, pursuant to the authority of 22 U.S.C. 211a and Executive Order 11295 (31 FR 10603), and in accordance with 22 CFR 51.63(a)(3), all United States passports are declared invalid for travel to, in, or through the DPRK unless specially validated for such travel, as specified at 22 CFR 51.64. The restriction on travel to the DPRK shall be effective 30 days after publication of this Notice, and shall remain in effect for one year unless extended or sooner revoked by the Secretary of State.
From an enforcement perspective some questions have been raised around whether the DPRK will cooperate with the ban or not. Given that all visitors must be part of a formal tour group, many of which have ties to the US outside of their operations in DPRK, the financial incentive to cooperate seems pretty solid.
It is also worth noting that this is not the first time such a move has been put in place. In 1987 the Reagan administration issued a similar ban regarding travel to Lebanon. That ban remained in place for a decade, eventually rescinded under the Clinton administration. The passport invalidation is a step beyond the economic travel prohibitions used against Cuba or Libya in the past.
The Lebanon ban was put in place amidst a violent civil war and multiple kidnappings of US citizens. The North Korea situation is different. Ostensibly the ban was triggered by the detention and eventual death of a US college student sentenced to 15 years in a labor prison for attempting to steal propaganda from his hotel room. He was released earlier this year and died shortly after his return to the United States. But the threat of day-to-day violence against visitors is hardly the same as in a country fighting a civil war. Still, the ability of US authorities to react or respond to any incident in DPRK is very, very limited. Arguably that justifies the move in the sense of the US Government taking seriously its responsibility for protecting citizens abroad.
But, yeah, this pretty much cuts off the country now from any US visitors unless they hold a second passport. And it is hard to see the positive value that brings towards the effort of peaceful relations or encouraging democracy.

This is a shame. There's a DPRK aviation tour (Wonsan Air Festival) my friend had wanted to go to in September!
I had also been considering going to that event, though I ended up with a scheduling conflict this year. I know a group going and will be sad not to join them.
Seems like travel there was a pretty stupid decision regardless.
How is it "official"? It's up to the DPRK whether to accept a US passport and issue a visa. Do we share a border somewhere with the DPRK I don't know about?
It is official because the US Government published the new rule in the Federal Register.
Choosing to ignore federal regulations doesn't mean they don't exist.
Also, there have been mixed reports as to whether tour groups will continue to accept travelers on US passports, whether the DPRK will allow those travelers in or if China/Russia will cooperate in reporting the travel details out. But none of that changes the legality question.
legally pass to the US information about Americans legally entering China off Air Koryo flights.
Not my area of expertise but I appreciate your perspective. FWIW, I notified the State Department before my visit.
It's a regulation not law. The biggest issue is if you get in trouble over there. The regulation will block the Swiss (I think) from assisting a detained us national. It's up to the host country to decide what is acceptable for admittance.
What Nathan said is probably the main practical impact: that if something goes wrong while you are there, you are even more screwed than before. Kind of like when some of us might or might not have traveled to Cuba years before those restrictions were relaxed, the main risk wasn't that you would likely get in trouble with the U.S. gov't. It was that if something went wrong in Cuba, you shouldn't have been there and were on your own.
I can only imagine the uproar from the "freedom fighters" if this had been enacted by the "black guy".
So frankly here I can understand a travel ban, especially given the current situation. That said, ramping back up on Cuba… that is stupid for sure.
Just for clarity, this applies to tourism or visits otherwise not in the national interest of the United States. The exception for "national interests" still applies, whether it's related to diplomacy or humanitarian visits. I have several friends who have visited NK on humanitarian (mostly medical) missions, and it is my understanding that they would still be able to do so, despite this new regulation.
Yes, the government can issue exceptions. It remains unclear how successful such requests are likely to be. I'm skeptical.

As Maxwell Smart used to say…
Missed it by THAT much! After a rocky start, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index came within 1 percent of an all-time high last week, reported Ben Levisohn for Barron's. It's significant because the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has been trading below its January record all year. The article suggested the lack of progress begs the question: Are we still in a bull market?
It's the old 'Shrink Global Markets with Corporate Buybacks' trick. Last week, Robin Wigglesworth of Financial Times reported, "The global equity market is shrinking at the fastest pace in at least two decades, as a wave of corporate share buybacks swamps the overall volume of companies going public, issuing new stock or selling convertible debt."
The value of the global equity market is increasing despite the reduction in volume. In part, this is because stock buybacks help push share prices higher.
There is a potential downside to buybacks, though. Nasdaq.com explained, "…rewarding current shareholders so liberally can lead to a systemic extraction of value from companies on a macroeconomic scale. Throw in dividends and little is left for growth and expansion."
Would you believe…the President asked for it? "President Trump on Friday asked regulators to review a decades-old requirement that public companies release earnings quarterly, a change some executives support to promote longer-term planning but that some investors worry could reduce market transparency," reported Dave Michaels, Michael Rapoport, and Jennifer Maloney of The Wall Street Journal.
While transparency is essential to investors, critics suggest quarterly reporting "distracts companies from focusing on longer-term financial and strategic goals and may deter companies from going public," wrote Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson and Mamta Badkar for Financial Times.
REMEMBER THAT SAYING ABOUT THE FOREST AND THE TREES? Some pretty good numbers have been posted for 2018. They're the type of numbers that inspire confidence. For example:
4.1 percent. The United States experienced strong economic growth during the second quarter. The advance estimate for U.S. gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services produced by a nation) during the second quarter of 2018 was 4.1 percent. That was the highest rate of growth since the first quarter of 2014.
24.6 percent. 2017's tax reform, which lowered corporate tax rates from an average of 35 percent to an average 21 percent, boosted corporate earnings, reported Nasdaq.com. With 91 percent of companies reporting in, the blended earnings growth rate for the S&P 500 was 24.6 percent during the second quarter of 2018.
$1 trillion. What are companies doing with their tax windfall? U.S. companies are rewarding shareholders by buying back stock, reported Nasdaq.com, which suggested buybacks could total $1 trillion in 2018.
3,453 days. Depending on how precisely you define the last bull market, August 22 may be the day that marks this one as the longest bull market in history.
While positive economic and market numbers are nice to see, they are trees in a forest and don't necessarily provide a full or an accurate picture. For instance, the length of a bull market is interesting, but it has no predictive value, reported Barron's. The length of the current economic expansion is far more important.
Barron's cited Dr. Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research, who said, "All I'm interested in is how long the expansion lasts…Because the longer it lasts, the longer the bull market lasts."
It's important to understand which numbers are important and how they relate to one another. If you would like to learn more, give us a call.

As the human genome is being explored in more detail, the genetic contribution to obesity is becoming increasingly recognized. While we know of at least 45 genes that contribute to obesity, little is understood about how they work. A new study has discovered a gene that affects how we sense and taste fat in our mouths, and postulates that this gene may be one more mechanism that contributes to the development of obesity in people who are genetically prone.
The study, conducted by MY Pepino and colleagues at Washington University, looked at 21 people with obesity and different variants of a gene called the CD36 gene. They found that people who had two copies of a certain variant of the CD36 gene had an 8 fold lower threshold for sensation of fat than people who had no copies of this gene variant. In other words, people with two copies of the gene variant were far more sensitive to the taste of fat than people without this gene variant.
Exactly how these genetic differences affect food intake is not known. It may be, for example, that people who are less sensitive to the taste of fat need to eat more fat to feel satisfied. Further study is needed to understand how the difference in sensitivity to the taste of fat may affect food intake and body weight.
What is increasingly clear is that genetics have a powerful role in the risk of obesity, in the context of the toxic enviroment in which we live.
Note: you can read more about the genetics of obesity here.

May: Britain Will 'Honor Commitments' as It Exits EU
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May gives a speech in Complesso Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Italy, Sept. 22, 2017.
British Prime Minister Theresa May says a deal on Britain's exit as a European Union trading partner could be "a defining moment in the history of our nation."
She spoke Friday in Florence, Italy, ahead of a fourth round of talks on Britain's departure from the 28-member grouping of European nations.
A number of top British officials were in the audience at the historic Catholic church of Santa Maria Novella, located in the cultural heart of Europe but no European leaders attended the speech.

(L-R) David Davies Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson listen Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May as she gives a speech in Complesso Santa Maria Novella, Floren
May used the speech to reassure EU leaders that Britain's exit will not result in added financial burdens for the European Union.
"The UK will honor commitments we have made during the period of our membership," she said.
She added that Britain wants to continue working together with the EU in ways that promote long-term economic development in Europe. As examples, she mentioned programs that promote science, education, culture, and mutual security.
The British leader emphasized that Britain will continue to work with the rest of Europe on defense, saying, "our commitment to the defense and indeed the advance of our shared values is undimmed. Our determination to defend the stability, security, and prosperity of our European neighbors and friends remains steadfast."
May also said that European citizens working in Britain will be subject to a registration system during a two-year transition period as Britain withdraws from the EU. She called the plan "an essential preparation for the new regime."
The prime minister said she is optimistic about the future, despite the upheaval exiting the European Union might cause.
Explaining the move, she said, "throughout its membership, the United Kingdom has never totally felt at home being in the European Union. And perhaps because of our history and geography, the European Union never felt to us like an integral part of our national story, in the way it does to so many elsewhere in Europe. It is a matter of choices."
Britain's formal departure from the European Union is set for March 29, 2019, with the proposed two-year transition period to follow. Talks on the issue resume on Monday.
Tense discussions

Britain Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond, center, departs with the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson after a Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street in London, Sept. 21, 2017.
On Thursday, May met with her cabinet ministers for more than two hours to finalize Britain's position.
Tense discussions have taken place over crucial issues such as the amount Britain must pay to settle its financial commitments to the bloc and the status of EU citizens in Britain, among others.
The tensions among cabinet ministers exploded into public view last week when Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson outlined his own vision for life outside the European Union. He argued for a sharp break with the bloc, a stance that dismays moderates who fear that will wreck Britain's relations with the world's biggest trade bloc.

Lucknow is a beautiful city.
When I got off the overnight train that brought me to Lucknow from Varanasi at 7.00 am that October morning, I didn't feel like I was in a strange place. Instead, I felt like I was in a familiar place, with the stunning red and white Char Bagh station welcoming me like an old, old friend.
"What do you know about Sarnath?" Premkumar, the guide, asked me.
"Er… not much. Just school book stuff really. The Ashoka pillar, Buddha…," my voice trails off in considerable embarrassment.

"Hmm…," said the guide, eyeing me in much the same way that a teacher may look at a rather stupid student. "Well, then, let's begin !


The second South London kyu players' teaching day and tournament was again at the Croydon Quaker Meeting House. Nineteen students were taught in the morning by four teachers - Andrew Kay, Alex Rix, Tim Hunt and Alison Bexfield. In the afternoon there was a three round tournament.
In the teachers' section the teachers all played each other, in a round-robin tournament, with all games even. In the students' tournament all games were played with handicaps equal to grade difference where appropriate.
Andrew Kay won the teachers' tournament with three wins; he received a prize of a bag of delicious gingerbread men from the organiser's excellent local cake shop.
In the student section, prizes of useful Go books went to Chris Volk (1k) and Colin Maclennan (9k) for winning three games, and to Ben Clark (14k), Charlotte Bexfield (11k) and Richard Wheeldon (4k) for winning two. Robin Patterson (18k) got the fighting spirit prize for losing all his games at his first tournament.

popper 8 months, 1 week ago.
I just woke up a while ago and drank some water. I wasn't really tired (how I can't say) so I got caught up on parts orders and such. Then I set outside on the porch for a minute or two and watched the lightning in the distance.
I have to say, I don't believe I've ever lived in a place with such an open view as I enjoy here. Its amazing. Makes me feel small and blessed both at the same time. There's about 850 yards from my front door to the next hill and only a few trees here and there between.
What was interesting about tonight was that it was raining on that hill, (give or take 100 yards) but not at the porch. I could see lightning far off to my left that lit up the midnight sky, and in front of me, I could hear the pouring rain like a stream flowing, but nothing but a slow drip drip drip from the roof over the porch. Interesting situation.
The joys of watching a storm work it magic !
Long ago I worked a night shift . This one particular night , keeping in mind I was in a high altitude deasert , I was checking warehouse doors walking a dock about 4′ high with rail road rails in front of the dock . It had been raining just enough to mess with the headlights and keep the mud smeered around on the windshield but never enough to wash it off . As I was walking back to the truck I noticed in the lights that the rain looked like it was like a swarm of wasps just going every direction all at once . The top of the dock was as wet as it was dry and the rail iron was dry . It was truly odd to be standing right there were just a few vertical inches made the difference between wet and dry . I miss the ridge tops where you can see from where you are to the next state for 270° and your seeing peaks and ridge lines 200 or miles away .
Years ago on I10 in Fl panhandle, clear skies except a cloud ~ 20mi away. I get there and it's just pouring – only on I10!. Took all of 5 sec. to get through it. Weather is strange.


Pretty, pink, and filled with antioxidants, wild rose is packed with vitamin A. Need we say more?
This revolutionary natural deodorant formulation offers all-day freshness and prevents odours using Canadian-grown Labrador tea extracts and anti-odourant sage oil. Not only this aluminium free deodorant is certified organic, but it is also ultra-nourishing and incredibly gentle on sensitive skin. Let the wild rose work its magic on you.
I've tried a few natural deodorants, and most of them either burnt my underarms, or left me with a weird gross smell after a few hours. But this one is different! It smells amazing, and after my work shift I still don't smell bad even after the rose scent faded. Even the next morning I still didn't smell gross, which I really liked. Will definitely keep buying, and trying out the other scents too.

Q: How to change 'Move to Trash' to 'Move to Draft' for my blog's users? I want that only Admin and Editor roles can use the 'Move to Trash' option in my blog, and other users will get the 'Move to Draft' option instead.
Like inside of the 'Quick Edit' / 'Bulk Actions' options in All posts of the Dashboard, and the Post editor side bar:

A: You can use add_filter() for post_row_actions to filter out the ones you don't want, add in the functions you do want. Like so:
<?php
/** Plugin Name: (wpse) Draft vs. Trash Posts */
add_filter( 'post_row_actions', 'my_plugin_update_actions', 10, 2 );
function my_plugin_update_actions($actions, $post) {

    $capability = 'promote_users';
    $role = 'Administrator';
    // Choose what you want to check against. Better only use one: Capability *or* role.
    if (
        current_user_can( $capability )
        OR current_user_has_role( $role )
    ) {
        unset($actions['trash']);
        $actions['draft'] = 'ID.'&action=draft').'">Move To Draft';
    }

    return $actions;
}

That should get you started in the right direction.

The Villa Park club have secured just one point in their last seven Premier League games ahead of their trip to second-placed Southampton.
Ronald Koeman's Southampton side will be expected to continue Villa's miserable form and make it a miserable landmark game at the helm for Lambert.
The Scot signed a new contract in September, taking him through until 2018, but that was before this long winless run and knows that will count for nothing if Villa continue to struggle.
When asked if he could see himself staying at the club for another 100 games, he said: "I would love to, but you are never sure in football. I know you have to try and get results.
"I am not naive enough to think they don't matter regardless of how long contracts are.
"I know we have to do a lot better, this club is too big a club and too good a club to keep doing what it has been doing. It has to get up there.
"You have to earn the right to get there and work your backside off to get there. It is not just going to come to you.
"You want to make this club vibrant very single week when you play home and away and you want to compete with everybody, including the top six.
"It is a great thing being manager of this club I don't think anyone should underestimate it. It is a magic football club and I am pretty sure I will be stronger for it that is for sure."


The study shows 1,632 people in Quebec received medical assistance in ending their lives between Dec. 10, 2015, and March 31, 2018.
The number of Quebecers seeking medically assisted death has been growing constantly since 2015, according to a report tabled in the National Assembly on Wednesday.
According to the report, produced by the Commission sur les soins de fin de vie, 1,632 people received medical assistance in ending their lives between Dec. 10, 2015, and March 31, 2018.
Ninety per cent had been given a prognosis of no more than six months to live; 87 per cent were under 60 years old; and 78 per cent were stricken with some form of cancer.
Most of them — 67 per cent — received medical assistance in dying in a hospital, while 20 per cent ended their lives at home, 10 per cent in long-term care facilities and one per cent in palliative care centres.
A third of the total requests received — 830 out of 2,462 — were refused. In 23 per cent of those cases, refusal was based on the person's not meeting the criteria for medical assistance at the time it was being sought.
To qualify for medically assisted death, one must be at end of life, suffering from a serious and incurable disease, and dealing with constant and unbearable physical and psychological pain.
Many people who did meet the criteria did not receive medical assistance, with 28 per cent dying before it could be received and 20 per cent changing their minds. In 19 per cent of cases, the applicant had lost the ability to consent to assistance.
The number of palliative sedations is also on the rise since medically assisted death regulations went into effect. More than 1,700 people received medication to ease their suffering and keep them continually unconscious until their death.
Quebec Health Minister Danielle McCann said a panel of experts was studying whether to broaden the eligibility for medically assisted death and expected to produce a report by the end of May.
During last year's election campaign, the Coalition Avenir Québec pledged to begin consultations on whether to broaden such eligibility to those suffering from Alzheimer's or other related diseases.

The recent inauguration of the world's longest sea bridge by China has sent shock waves among the political community in India. Many political leaders couldn't digest the fact that the bridge was inaugurated without any political party fighting over its naming.
"How can you not name a newly constructed bridge after a leader. I mean how. And they call themselves a superpower. Had this been India we would have got at least a 100 proposals for naming," said a former Union Minister.
Many politicians from both Congress and BJP, who couldnt get over the shock, showed signs of indigestion as a reaction to the news. "I have been to bathroom at least 6 times since morning. Just cant get the news out of my head. Hamare yahan toh naam pehle rakhte hai aur fir bridge banate hai. If China has no plans of naming the bridge then we will send a proposal of naming it after Rajiv Gandhi," said a Congress party worker, while reminiscing about the inauguration of Bandra-Worli sea-link.
In fact the party has already started referring to it as RGCHKB (Rajiv Gandhi China-Hong Kong Bridge).
Not to be outdone by the opposition, BJP too is planning to send a proposal. "We have not decided on the name of any leader yet. We will first see which states are going for elections and then send our proposal," said a BJP spokesperson.
Though the lack of any 'naamkaran' has caused a lot of heartburn to the political community, the only news that seems to have had a soothing effect is the fact that the bridge took 10 years to complete. "A bridge that long should have taken at least 25 years with countless cost escalations and protests by locals. But I am fine with 10 years," said an ex-MP, who didn't wish to be named.

Bards Without Borders
Last month in London eight poets and performers from a variety of backgrounds came together to help shape a new project exploring Shakespeare and migration: Bards without Borders. Working in partnership with Counterpoints Arts and Platforma, the session was run by Arne Pohlmeier (artistic director of Two Gents Productions) and the poet and facilitator Laila Sumpton.
The group explored a scene from Shakespeare's Henry VI through drama and creative writing exercises. The artists unpacked the meaning in the text finding their own connections to the themes of gender roles, power and marriage. Two poets improvised the scene in Arabic and Sinti and all participants wrote new monologues for the central characters.
The poetry showed the variety of approaches each artist could take, and were well crafted and performed, showing the potential of performance the group will create.
Bangladeshi poet Shamim Azad asked for more workshops to develop a performance. 'We want to take a slice of Shakespeare to the community and have collective ownership," she said. "This is important to me both as a writer and as a community member."
The artists in Bards Without Borders were from a range of backgrounds: Jordanian, Somalian, Tanzanian, Bangladeshi, British Romani, Nigerian, British and Kosovan. All shared an interest and respect for Shakespeare's work, and really enjoyed finding their own creative responses to a previously unknown text.
Arne and Laila discussed the plan for the artists to create a new performance inspired by Shakespeare's work to reach audiences who might not often access it, and we were delighted to hear the support and enthusiasm for this idea.
British Romani poet Damien Le Bas said, "I find theatre intimidating, even as an educated member of my own community. I believe in this project- Shakespeare is not available to many people. This will be a talked about project, I can see there being professional prestige for us in this project."
Somalian storyteller Farrah Mohammad said, "I want to help bring Shakespeare to young people. This fits in with what I do to engage invisible community members. The project is important for challenging the media bias against migrants and refugees- it is good to help new settlers own Shakespeare."
List of artists: Shamim Azad, Freddy Macha, Damian Le Bas, Farah Mohammoud, Tolu Agbelusi, Alia' Kawalit, Sam Holand, Ardi Mejzini

Iowa woman tricked out of $112,000 after looking for love online
Posted 8:07 PM, January 22, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
CLINTON, Iowa – A Clinton woman is out more than $100,000 because she fell in love with a man she met online who, police say, took almost everything she had.
Police say the "romance scam" is one of the costliest scams out there and can happen to anyone.
"We just started emailing back and forth, and then it went to texting," the woman told WQAD. "Then, after some time, I fell for him."
It didn't take long for an online dating profile to turn into love for the woman WQAD named Linda to hide her identity.
Middletown man killed when car rolls down icy driveway
"[It felt] good that someone was out there for me, that I could find somebody," says Linda.
Without ever meeting in person, Linda went all in with her heart and her wallet.
"It was a factory he was building, and I believed him," says Linda.
The mystery man, supposedly named Mark, told Linda he needed money for this lucrative project, promising to pay Linda back with double the money she gave him.
The first check she wrote was money out of her retirement savings, $48,000. And it didn't stop there.

"I did several charge cards I had, and I maxed them out. He always liked good clothes, good quality clothes," says Linda.
They were separate charges to places like Best Buy, Von Maur, Verison and Federal Express landing Linda a with a grand total bill of $112,513.
After a year, Linda sought help from law enforcement who did some digging on "Mark."
"Anybody who asks for money, it's always going to be a scam. No exceptions," said the head of Clinton County's Seniors vs. Crime unit Randy Meier.

Meier wanted to find out exactly who "Mark" really was.
"He responded by producing a passport. It looks really good, but it's fake. We know they're based in West Africa. We know the money went to Ghana or other west African countries in that vicinity. Other than that, it's difficult to identify the person," says Meier.
Broken-hearted, and just flat out broke, Linda has filed for bankruptcy.
"I just don't want anyone else to get in this situation," Linda said.
Not only is she a victim of the romance scam, Meier says if she sends "Mark" any more money or merchandise, she could go to federal prison for money laundering. Linda said she will never send "Mark" another penny.
She's telling her story of love built on deception as a warning to other people.
"Why are you doing this to people?" Linda would ask the scammers. "You're wrecking their lives, you're wrecking their lives big time."
Meier says the number one way to know if you're falling victim to a romance scam is if the person you are connecting with online asks you to send money. He says the people will be persistent, be hesitant to talk on the phone, and they will tell you anything and everything to get you to send money or merchandise. He says the best thing you can do if you're already in a scam is to stop sending things immediately and to contact police.

You've done your RAP sheets. You know where you want to go in 2019. You know what you want to happen. Great! Now how are you going to get there? Mario talks about the power of project management tools today on the podcast. He shares how the team uses technology to make sure we're on track to achieve what we want to do and shares some tips on how you can use it to make your dreams come alive.


Happy Birthday in Heaven Mommy! Your gift is down here, come and get it!
You have what you always wanted. Your children have love, joy and appreciation for each other without resentments. The things you put in place worked out for the best for everyone. Everything has been taken care of and no mess was left behind. No one has hurt themselves or shattered anything in their lives in the pain of missing you. I miss you terribly but I am at peace with your love and what I know you would want for me is for me to be happy.
Life is good. Anguish and loss do not have to leech away the happiness I have in my life today. For the rest of my life there will be times of sadness about my mom and life will always have something new to throw at me so I am sure there will be more reasons to be sad in the future. But for today, I will allow happiness to pervade the sorrow and enjoy my life.
Work continues to be very busy this week. Let me put it this way: Back in April we had a slow month and I had seven custom events for the whole month (30 days). This month I have seven events in just three days - and that does not include the 14 other events also taking place in August. I will be writing later this week but probably not for the next three days. I am planning my food, getting enough sleep, working out and finding something to laugh at each and every day. And if I feel like crying, I cry.
I think that means I am healthy. Wow, what a concept. Can you recognize healthy in your life?
You sounds strong. Maybe it is good to be busy. You do, do do and then let it go later.


DIS was founded in 1959 by the University of Copenhagen as a Study Abroad Programme. Ramjas-DIS offers university level programmes, taught in English by Danish faculty to be followed later by an exchange programme for students and faculty.
DIS offers a vide variety of programmes and courses within a broad range of academic disciplines. Programmes are built around core courses that normally include a one-week international study tour, curriculum-integrated and faculty-led. These study tours take place during the first week of the three-week mid-semester travel break. The complete course syllabi, including required readings, are posted on the DIS website. DIS courses are taught by mostly Danish professors who teach at institutions of higher education or work in research, government, business, or the professions.
The complete list of DIS course is available at the DIS website http://discophenhagen.org.
The Ramjas-DIS Programme is open to students enrolled at any college or university with at least a second division in their earlier exams. Certain programmes and courses have specific prerequisites.
All DIS academic programmes include one or two study tours in Denmark or Europe during the semester or summer. The study tours, conducted by DIS faculty and staff, access programme related sites such as famous art collections. European Union institutions, multinational companies, marine research facilities, architecture and design objects, medical facilities, and a host of cultural, historical, social, and political institutions which are otherwise restricted.
Most DIS classes include course-integrated field studies in Copenhagen. Several DIS programmes offer internship-like coursework or classes taught at course-relevant sites. For example. Summer Furniture, Textile, and Ceramics Design courses are taught in the workshops of Denmark's Design School.
DIS offers a variety of internship opportunities in its various departments. An internship at DIS offers a concrete work experience, high levels of responsibility, active project development, opportunity to travel in Europe, and a chance to live and work in Copenhagen for one year A DIS intern receives an adequate stipend making it possible to cover living expenses.

For Virginia Tech fans, much of the attention athletically among active sports has been on men's basketball after their win over #4 Virginia, women's basketball with their 13-1 start, and wrestling with their top 5 ranking and status as national title contender. Meanwhile, Justin Fuente and the Hokies have been making some noise in recruiting for football over the past month.
All of these programs would love to be the ones to bring Virginia Tech its first national title with wrestling having the best shot this season of those listed above. However, one program may have a better chance than those listed above.
Virginia Tech's men's indoor track and field team has been ranked fourth in the nation by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The preseason ranking of fourth is the highest in program history and as one of two ACC teams in the top 25, the Hokies are national title contenders and ACC favorites.
The Hokies will be looking to make a big jump nationally this year after finishing 28th in last year's national championship while also winning their third ACC title. Virginia Tech returns nine athletes who received at least some sort of All-American status last season including three ACC Champions in Thomas Curtain (3,000 meters), Patrick Joseph (mile), and Manuel Ziegler (triple jump).
This trio of athletes leads the way for a Virginia Tech program led by the three seniors mentioned above plus thrower Tomas Kruzliak who won an individual outdoor national title in the hammer throw in 2013. These Hokies will know that this year has the potential to take the program to a higher level than previously reached with a national title potentially in reach.
Virginia Tech athletics are headed in a very positive, and Virginia Tech's national title as a team seems likely in the next couple of years. The question is can Virginia Tech's men's indoor track and field team be the ones to bring the Hokies' first national title to Blacksburg in 2016.

5 Strikers That Could Help Arsenal Win the League
posted in Arsenal	on January 21, 2014 by	Admin
This is a Guest Post Written by: Mel
During the 2014 January Transfer Window, Arsenal have been on the hunt for a striker. It has been said to be Arsenal's number one priority since the transfer market has opened. Wenger said if he would sign a striker for the team he would want someone "special".
Well these are the five players I think if they made a move to Arsenal would guarantee us winning the league, most of these strikers have been linked and targeted by Arsenal and would be fantastic signings…
[title]Diego Costa[/title]
You knew he would be on top of the list. Costa recently in this transfer window has been heavily linked to Arsenal and is being targeted by Chelsea and Dortmund as well.
The 25 year old Brazilian is going to cost 32 million with his release clause, we got Ozil for 42.5 million, so we all know Wenger will go out and buy a costly superstar player with tremendous talent. Costa has been in sensational form in 21 games, he scored 23 goals. After signing a new contract extension at Atletico Madrid and how significantly well his team is doing this move would be difficult, and some fans calling it unrealistic.
[title]Alvaro Morata[/title]
This 21 year old is said to be the perfect replacement for Theo Walcott, a short term loan has heavily been in the talks and it would be a great idea considering the complications of January transfers.
Real Madrid has previously mentioned they have no intention for him to leave, however just recently Morata has been keen to grab some first team experience and we could certainly be able to give it to him. Morata has scored 2 goals in his 9 appearances this season with Real , however in his only 11 appearances with Spain's U-21 he has scored 12 goals, showing exactly why he would be a great striker alternative for Arsenal.
[title]Javier Hernandez[/title]
Hernandez has been a player I have been eyeing at joining Arsenal for a long time now. He is the one player at Manchester United who needs a transfer out immediately. His lack of playing time however, has given him a lack of form.
At 25 years old Hernandez is still a young and talented player that still has a lot to offer. Hernandez playing alongside Ozil, Ramsey, and Wilshere him great crosses, and would provide Giroud with healthy competition. This transfer may seem difficult as he is from one of our rival clubs, but for the right amount of cash I'm sure they would accep
[title]Alexandre Pato[/title]
Pato was linked to Arsenal last summer; however we weren't able to reach an agreement with his club Corinthians. The 24 year old previously played for A.C. Milan and now is in his home country Brazil.
He has scored 12 goals in 36 games, though Pato may be out of form now he is player I believe Wenger can shape back into form. He's tall, fast and strong. Valued at about 12 million he may be another striker that Wenger should consider.
[title]Sebastian Giovinco[/title]
The Juventus star striker has the strength and power to score several goals for Arsenal and has been considered a "genius". Though he sounds like a fantastic player he has dealt with problems at his current club having fans booing him, pushing him to think he doesn't belong at Juventus and by barely having any first team playing time.
It has been said the 26 year old has sparked some interest by Arsenal and Arsenal have been in contact with Juventus over the player.
Who do you think Arsenal should purchase in the January Tranfer Window to help them win the League?

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine was recognized as one of the best research-oriented medical schools, 20th in the nation, according to the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings, released today.
This year marks a significant revision to methodology used to compile the U.S. News rankings for medical schools. In particular, the weighting for the reputation score was reduced by 25 percent to allow the inclusion of other new categories of research funding, and many top medical schools saw unexpected shifts in their placements.
This is the 11th year in a row Feinberg has placed in the top 20 of research-oriented medical schools, and several departments ranked highly among the specialty-specific rankings.
In another methodology shift, four of Feinberg's specialty programs were recognized among the best in the nation, with obstetrics and gynecology ranking 8th, internal medicine rising three spots to 12th, pediatrics rising two spots to 12th and surgery ranking 12th.
The newly published U.S. News research rankings are based on National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and other research funding categories, survey assessments completed by deans and senior faculty at peer institutions and entering class data. The magazine surveyed the nation's 140 fully accredited medical schools and 30 schools of osteopathic medicine.
Feinberg, founded in 1859, has built a national reputation for excellence through its leading-edge scientific initiatives, premier clinical facilities and innovative curriculum. The medical school is a central component of Northwestern Medicine, a top-tier academic health system, and currently includes nearly 4,000 faculty members who teach, conduct research and practice medicine. During the 2017-2018 academic year, Feinberg welcomed 663 medical students, 1,159 residents and fellows, 337 PhD students, 391 postdoctoral fellows, and 716 master's and professional program students.

Eesti Televisioon («Televisión estonia»), más conocido por sus siglas ETV, es el primer canal de televisión pública de Estonia, controlada por la radiodifusora pública Eesti Rahvusringhääling («Radiodifusión pública de Estonia»). Tiene una programación generalista compuesta por informativos, entretenimiento, ficción y documentales.

Historia
ETV comenzó sus emisiones regulares el 19 de julio de 1955 como Tallinna Televisioonistuudio («Estudio de Tallin»), y durante más de 35 años fue el único canal disponible en la República Socialista Soviética de Estonia. Cuando el país se independizó en 1991, pasó a ser la televisión estatal.

La radio y la televisión públicas de Estonia funcionaron por separado hasta el 1 de enero de 2007, cuando el gobierno integró ambas empresas en un único grupo de radiodifusión pública, la actual ERR.

ETV cumple obligaciones de servicio público y debe promover la cultura nacional del país, así como dar cobertura a las comunidades minoritarias. Los contenidos originales son en idioma estonio, mientras que las producciones extranjeras se emiten en versión original subtitulada.

Desde la década del 2000 cuenta con dos canales temáticos en televisión digital terrestre: ETV2 (2008, programas infantiles y deportes) y ETV+ (2015, en idioma ruso).

Financiación

El presupuesto de ERR está compuesto en un 85% con aportaciones del presupuesto general del estado, y en el 15% restante con un impuesto a las televisiones comerciales. A cambio, ETV tiene prohibida la emisión de publicidad comercial en todas sus variantes.

Is there a four branch manifold for the 2.0 n/a available?
Lancia Beta Forum > Technical stuff > Exhaust System > Is there a four branch manifold for the 2.0 n/a available?
Fiddling about with the spyder at the moment and I am thinking of a four branch exhaust manifold.
Is there one available and are there any power/torque advantages to be gained from fitting one to a standard engine with the 34DATR carb which is being re-jetted to suit a K&N pancake filter?
Also, are there any improvements to be made to the exhaust which I am sure is no help in standard form?
I would love to go the full twin carb set-up but currently can't afford to.
Re: Is there a four branch manifold for the 2.0 n/a available?
Ansa did one - they sometimes come up on eBay. CSC still do one you can order.
I have a CSC 4 into 2 into 1 manifold that I will not be using still in original paint that I have ported (cleaned off any flow restricting material). I am keeping it as a pattern guide for an exhaust maker until I have a 4 into 1 made in stainless. If I was going to use it I would add a modern flexy section under the rear of the subframe and heat wrap it but other wise it is an improvement over the standard set up. The other way to a better exhaust is to have one made for the car using the sizing uinformation from Guy Croft.
I had the bright idea of fitting a Fiat TC 130 exhaust manifold. i should have asked here first if it had been done before, but one came up on ebay for 30 quid so i thought it was worth a try. i knew it would need a cut and weld to accommodate the beta 20 degree engine lean, and i planned to put heat wrap all along to protect the wiring loom. After lifting the front end to a great (and precarious) height (oh to have a four post lift) i was able to tilt the manifold back enough to clear the drive shaft and maneuver it into position.
1. the pipes come further back towards the bulkhead, so heat diversion (wrap, reflectors etc) would be needed.
2. one of the pipes is in contact withe the drive shaft.
3. it exits a good few inches lower than the original downpipe, so unless manholes are to be avoided modification would be required here too.
This all lead me to re-stud my stock manifold ready to re-fit. i'm sure it could make a good basis for a manifold on the beta if you have the time/skill etc. but i plan to take my beta to Europe in six weeks so its not going to happen this year!

The 170 deputies announce their position on the decision of the Iraqi President
by RamblerNash on Thu Dec 26, 2019 11:07 pm
Shafaq News / The 170 deputies, who signed the specifications of the next prime minister, announced their refusal to present the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, for his resignation or even thinking about it.
And 170 deputies had previously called on the President of the Republic to submit an independent candidate to head the next government, and holders of Iraqi citizenship only, and he had not received any position since 2003.
After we read the President's message to Parliament, we announce our clear position by rejecting Resignation or even hinting at it, as we stress that national and popular options are the final word in the form and features of the next prime minister away from partisanship and quotas and in line with the aspirations of the Iraqi people and the steps for reform and change. "
The Iraqi president, Barham Salih, apologized for assigning the "building block" candidate, Asaad Al-Eidani, to head the government, confirming his personal willingness to resign from the post of President of the Republic.
The president refused to assign Al-Aidani, as a candidate for prime minister, and he is the third candidate who protesters refuse to assign to the position, after Parliament member Muhammad Shi'a Al-Sudani and Minister of Higher Education in the resigned government, Qusay Al-Suhail.
On Wednesday, protestors of Tahrir Square, in the center of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, announced their refusal to assign Al-Eidani to take over the next government, to succeed resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
The protesters forced the Mahdi government to resign in early December, and they insist on the departure and accountability of all political elites accused of corruption and waste of state funds, which have governed since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003.

Can good workplace design attract talent to your company?
Workplace design and facilities sit just behind salary as key influences on a candidate's choice of workplace, according to research from design firm HASSELL and Empirica Research.
When you're expecting someone to spend more than forty hours a week in an office, that office had better be good. If it's good enough, some workers may even be willing to accept a lower salary. In HASSELL and Empirca Research's survey, 24% of candidates reported that they would be likely to accept lower pay than they currently received if the new position came with appealing workplace facilities and culture. Appealing technology bumped that proportion up to 37%.
Pay aside, the survey found that providing an appealing workplace doubled the attractiveness of an employer to candidates, all other variables held constant. While providing facilities like gyms, childcare and outdoor spaces were found to be the most effective way of boosting a workplace's appeal, design was found to count too. 'Creative, modern' workplace design increased an organisation's attractiveness to the prospective candidates by three times over 'conservative, corporate' workplace design.

Though much of this information will come as no surprise to those in the architecture and design industries, HASSELL principal Steve Coster says that the empirical data will go a long way in convincing employers about the importance of design.
"There are people who are converted to the idea that workplace is worth spending time and money and effort on, and there are people who need more convincing. And one of the challenges is that we often don't have rigorous substantiation data to make our argument," he says.
However, he says that employers are starting to realise the benefits of quality workplaces.
"I think that's definitely a generally higher acceptance now of the opportunity that workplace represents than there was 10 years ago, when I started working in workplace strategy type work," says Coster.
Coster often cites SA Water House as an example where workplace design has influenced the organisation's culture and cut costs. HASSELL designed the over 20,000 square metre building, which included office spaces and laboratories.

"They had quite a broad cultural agenda to change the kind of organisation that they were," says Coster.
With mining and engineering companies in Adelaide attracting the majority of engineering graduates, the influx of interest in SA Water from new candidates was a "strategically important issue," says Coster.

IWD 2021: We Choose to Challenge Inequality and to Empower Women to Thrive
By Keeley Aleman March 8, 2021
Today is International Women's Day (IWD), which celebrates "the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women." From its inception in the early 1900s and the first gathering in 1911, IWD has marked a call to action for accelerating women's equality. The global COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for women in the workplace and has emphasized the critical need to enable the women of Waters to succeed and contribute their talents without limitation.
At Waters, we choose to challenge inequality on IWD and every day
"Choose to Challenge," the theme of IWD 2021, encourages us all to "choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality," seek out and celebrate the achievements of women, and ultimately create a more inclusive world.
At Waters, this extends beyond a single day. It speaks to our core values.
Today, and every day, we choose to challenge gender inequality and celebrate the women of Waters.
I was honored to take part in the following video. Watch it to hear from Udit Batra, Ph.D., Waters President and CEO, Belinda Hyde, Ph.D., Waters SVP of Human Resources, and other members of the Waters executive team as they share what they #ChoosetoChallenge.
How compassion and inclusion have shaped me as a female leader
Reflecting on my own path in life, I am grateful for simple acts of compassion and inclusion that empowered me to dream big and provided opportunities for growth. Starting from a young age, my parents created an environment where I could dream big without limits.
Throughout my career, there were many men and women who made space for me to be seen and heard.
Whether it was a former manager showing compassion without judgment when I returned from maternity leave, or a simple act of making space at an already crowded table for me to sit, or the hours of time mentors spent providing me feedback, challenging me to tackle uncomfortable tasks, or listening when I needed support … Each of these acts shaped me personally and professionally.
Today, I choose to create space for women to thrive because together we go further.
Fostering an inclusive workplace that drives diversity and development
As outlined in our 2025 Waters Sustainability Goals, we are deeply committed to "Leading by example in our employee development and engagement." This means focusing on the employees we have today—and the employees we will need tomorrow—through programs and initiatives that drive diversity, inclusion, and development.
To support an inclusive work environment where diversity and innovation thrive, we formed a number of global employee Circles—including our Gender Diversity Circle (GDC).
The GDC seeks to foster a culture of gender awareness and inclusiveness, where differences are embraced and leveraged. Its goals include:
Leading the education and engagement of the organization on the value of diversity and "gender intelligence"
Engaging employees and potential employees through education, dialogue, and participation
Advising the organization on embedding diversity in our processes and culture
Advancing beyond the COVID-19 pandemic to empower women at Waters
Now more than ever before, we must consider gender inequality in the workplace.
"COVID-19 has exacerbated prior [gender] disparities, and it's time that we go further than we have been before," shared Rob Carson, Waters Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.
At Waters, we are committed to placing value on employee capabilities, strengths, and potential, regardless of gender. In order to enable success for all employees, we must continue to further a more gender-balanced organization that empowers women to pursue their full potential.
This is more than a statement.
Like many working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic, I too have struggled with the pressures of home-schooling and childcare while managing workplace demands and priorities. Yet, despite these challenges, at Waters I am supported and encouraged to lead with compassion and inclusivity.
On IWD and beyond, let us choose to challenge the instinct to judge one another or make assumptions. Rather, let us lift each other up and create space for women to thrive.
Learn more about our commitment to gender equality, inclusion, and employee development.

JOHN DEERE EXACTEMERGE™ PLANTER Active pneumatic downforce active pneumatic downforce makes getting the planting accuracy desired even easier. A hydraulically driven compressor works with the SeedStar™ 3 HP system and SeedStar XP system to automate downforce control. Just set the row-unit target margin value and the active pneumatic downforce system works automatically to make sure the planter maintains this value-achieving precise soil penetration, and consistent planting depth, without sidewall soil compaction. This frees the operator from constantly making manual downforce adjustments as conditions change. It also allows the operator to focus on all the other planting factors that drive up yields, like seed singulation and spacing.
This system also offers a split rank control feature for 1795 and DB Split-Row Planters. On top of actively controlling the pneumatic downforce system across the planter, John Deere active downforce will control the front and rear rows of split-row planter independently. This compensates for differing downforce requirements between the ranks that can be caused from things like different tillage or insecticide attachments and will help maintain an accurate planting depth and consistent margin across all the rows.
Active pneumatic downforce is available as factory installed or as an attachment for field conversion. Pneumatic downforce systems are available as base equipment on all 1705 Series and DB Planters.
Active downforce control is integrated into the SeedStar XP monitoring system. Only small changes can be noticed on the display, but these small changes can simplify operation by automating control.
Once a target margin has been defined, enter the value into JOHN DEERE EXACTEMERGE™ PLANTER Active pneumatic downforce SeedStar XP and let active downforce do the rest. The system will actively adjust the air pressure in the air bags to maintain a constant margin across the planter. The changes in air pressure will change the amount of downforce placed on the row unit compensating and reacting for varying conditions through the field whether it is different tillage practices, soil types, or moisture.
A) Margin – Amount of additional down force applied to a row unit above and beyond what is required for penetration to achieve planting depth. This additional weight will ride on the depth gauge wheels.
At approximately 4 gpm, hydraulic demands are low and ties into the machine's lift and Central Commodity System (CCS™) hydraulic circuit so it does not require any additional selective control valves (SCVs). The SeedStar XP monitor works with the compressor and valve assembly to regulate air to downforce springs enabling the active control.
Another feature of JOHN DEERE EXACTEMERGE™ PLANTER Active pneumatic downforceactive downforce is the ability for the pneumatic valve to independently control split rank machines. This system senses the downforce needs from the front and rear ranks separately and independently adjust air pressures with the dual rank pneumatic valve when equipped. JOHN DEERE EXACTEMERGE™ PLANTER Active pneumatic downforce active pneumatic downforce requires SeedStar XP to enable active control.
Each row unit has one rubber air bag located between the parallel arms. The air bags are hooked in series so that air can be added or released from all rows at once from one location.

Extra 51-A Troop Train Collision
Tragedy Near Lettsworth, Louisiana
Photo by Langston McEachern
The passenger train Southern Belle collided with a 15-car troop train (Extra 51-A North) near Lettsworth, Louisiana on the morning of August 10, 1951. The Southern Belle was operated by the Louisiana and Arkansas Rail Company, a subsidiary of the Kansas City Southern Rail Company. The Southern Belle was en route to New Orleans and the troop train was north-bound with 288 US Marines en route to San Diego, California. A sign painted on the side of the troop train read, "Korea Bound". Many of the Marines were in the back of the train having breakfast in a dining car at the time of the early morning collision.
There were nine fatalities at the scene of the wreck and one civilian fatality associated with the accident. Seven crew members, one civilian passenger, and one Marine died. The Marine was trapped in a burning car, wedged so tightly in the debris that he could not be rescued by his fellow Marines before he was engulfed in flames. J.A. Platt, the Pullman conductor on the troop train, said his engineer was thrown about 40 yards into the woods and died from the impact. One passenger died of a heart attack after the collision. A nine-year old boy died when he was hit by a car while riding his pony to the accident site. Dozens of passengers were injured in the fiery crash. Twenty-six Marines were injured--five in serious condition.
The collision took place three miles north of Lettsworth where the flat timber/cotton land was swampy and the railroad track was curved. The accident was caused by human error on the part of a troop train crew member. The Southern Belle was on schedule and traveling at a speed of 55 miles per hour. Although Extra 51-A should have moved over to a side track to allow the Southern Belle to continue on its journey, it didn't. It continued to operate on the main track at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
Four cars and two engines burned as a result of the collision due to diesel oil spillage. Furniture from the cars were strewn across the tracks and the more than 50 nurses and doctors called to the scene found death and injury, bloody bandages and marine shirts splattered with blood when they arrived. Three hospitals and one undertaking business sent ambulances to the crash site and medical personnel brought blood plasma and other emergency supplies. Five nurses and two nurse's aides from the Baptist Hospital showed up to help, as did ten nurses and two Sisters from the Catholic Hospital.
The seriously injured were taken to Baton Rouge and the St. Joseph Clinic at New Roads. Plauche Clinic at Morganza had over two dozen patients from the trains and some nearby citizens took the less injured into their homes. Marines and train personnel made heroic efforts to rescue passengers. Mangled metal and fire hampered them, but they managed to save many lives that morning.

Here's that wacky California again. We just voted for more guns and ammo regulations, a plastic bag ban, legal marijuana, higher cigarette taxes – and in favor of hurrying up the death penalty? Seem quirky for a blue state? Not so much. Hadar Aviram is a law professor at UC Hastings. She volunteered for the Proposition 62 campaign to end the death penalty altogether in favor of life in prison without parole. That lost to Proposition 66, which pledges to speed up the death penalty in California, which hasn't executed anyone in 10 years. The ACLU has already challenged 66 in court. Aviram is following her book "Cheap on Crime" with another on the Manson family's parole hearings, and she thinks the promises of Proposition 66 are impossible to meet.

Verizon has successfully concluded the industry's first field test of 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) optical transmission, on a live, in-service 504 kilometer network route between Tampa, Fla., and Miami.
The test, which utilized a live video feed from Verizon's FiOS TV network as the "payload," was successfully completed on Nov. 16.
The 100 Gbps transmission was conducted on a Verizon Business long-haul optical system carrying other live traffic at 10 Gbps.
The test demonstrated that by deploying advanced electronics, an existing network system can easily and quickly be upgraded to 100 Gbps, Verizon said.


it was a great lesson very interesting!!!, when I lab ( had to use OER instead) it up, it worked but I came up with a couple of question.
If you lab this up, I highly recommend to use PfR. OER is pretty buggy and I had lots of issues with it.
ems to prefer regular routing before using PBR but with the mode route protocol pbr you can force it to use PBR right away.
In an oer-map (or pfr-map) you can match with prefix-lists, access-lists, PfR learned prefixes, and NBAR.
