Astronauts Michael Good and Garrett Reisman carried out a successful six-hour 46-minute spacewalk Friday, completing the replacement of six space station solar array batteries, installing an ammonia coolant jumper and retrieving a robot arm grapple fixture.
Four 375-pound batteries were installed during a spacewalk Wednesday and the final two were replaced today. The six old batteries that were removed from the truss are now secured on a cargo carrier for return to Earth aboard the shuttle Atlantis. The carrier pallet will be mounted back in the shuttle's cargo bay Saturday.
Good and Garrett cleaned up the P6 worksite before moving on to their next task, retrieving a robot arm grapple fixture from Atlantis' cargo bay.
The spacewalkers also got around to a few final "get-ahead" tasks, adjusting an insulation blanket on a robot arm extension and restocking external tool boxes.
They even found time for a bit of sightseeing before returning to the International Space Station's Quest airlock module, marveling at the view of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral from 220 miles up.
"Are we over, like, Bermuda or something?" Reisman asked.
"Yep. The Bahamas," pilot Dominic Antonelli replied from Atlantis' flight deck.
"You can see the Cape if you look back the other way," Antonelli said.
"Runway 15/33 looks pretty clear," someone said.
"You can see it?" Reisman asked.
"Yeah. That's cool," Good replied.
"I can see the SLF, I can see the two pads, I can see the skid strip."
"And Houston, we've got the field in site," Antonelli joked.
"Houston copies. We'd rather you not land just yet," astronaut Steve Swanson replied from mission control.
The spacewalk began at 6:27 a.m. EDT and ended at 1:13 p.m., boosting the crew's total EVA time through three spacewalks to 21 hours and 20 minutes. Total space station EVA construction time through 146 spacewalks now stands at 914 hours and 53 minutes, or 38.1 days.
"It was three great, fantastic EVAs," Swanson called at the end of the spacewalk. "We appreciate all your work."

Most open adoptions lie somewhere in the middle, according to Grotevant and McRoy, exchanging letters, pictures, and phone calls, and having face-to-face meetings once or twice a year. Whatever their situation, many families report that relatives and friends condemn openness, and voice fears that the arrangement will make the birth parent want the child back.
For both birth parents and adoptive parents, the open adoption process can remove the mystery from the adoption process, and can permit a greater degree of control in the decision-making process. The open adoption process also allows adoptive parents to better answer their children's questions about who their birthparents were, and why they were adopted. Open adoptions can also help the child come to terms with being adopted, because the child's concerns can be addressed directly by everyone who was involved in the adoption process.

For many years in New York State, adoptees had to obtain the permission of their adoptive parents (unless deceased) to be included in a state-sponsored reunion registry regardless of the age of the adoptee. In some cases, older adults or even senior citizens felt like they were being treated like children, and required to obtain their parents' signature on the form. In a broader sense, they felt it could be inferred that adopted children are always children, and thus second-class citizens subject to discrimination. The law has since been changed.[6]
In some states, (North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia) the city and county of the adoptee's birth is changed on the amended birth certificate, to where the adoptive parents were living at the time the adoption was finalized. Often, the states will not give the adoptee the correct location of their birth. Some adoptees have been denied passports for having incomplete birth certificates. The hospital may also be omitted on the amended birth certificate, especially if it primarily serves unwed mothers. In the United States, many such hospitals were run by the Salvation Army, and named after its founder, William Booth. By the mid-1970s, all of these hospitals had closed due to high costs and the reduced need for secrecy, as the social stigma of having a child out of wedlock in America had decreased. More and more mothers were raising their child as a single parent (often with the help of the newly created institution of government welfare).
Some states have confidential intermediary systems. This often requires a person to petition the court to view the sealed adoption records, then the intermediary conducts a search similar to that of a private investigator. This can be either a search for the birth mother at the request of the adoptee, or vice versa. Quite often, in the many years which have passed since the adoptee was born, a birth mother or female adoptee has both moved to another address, and married or remarried resulting in a change of her surname. While this can make the search difficult and time consuming, a marriage certificate may provide the needed clue as to the person's whereabouts. If and when the intermediary is able to contact the birth mother (or adoptee), she is informed that her adopted child (or birth mother) is inquiring about her. In the few states that have open adoption records, should this party indicate that he or she does not want to be contacted, by law, the information would not be given out. Upon completion of the search in which the birth mother agrees to be contacted, the intermediary usually sends the adoptee the official unamended birth certificate obtained from the court. The adoptive parents' application to an adoption agency remains confidential, however.
American Adoptions accepts a limited number of families into our gender-specific program. Please contact us at 1-800-ADOPTION to learn whether we are currently accepting families into this program. With this option, families pay an additional Gender-Specific Fee to help our agency locate and work with birth mothers meeting this additional criterion. This fee is in addition to other program fees and covers additional advertising. The fee is not considered part of your adoption budget. Please note that gender specificity will likely increase your wait time significantly.
"It removes the mystery, but it doesn't remove the grief," said Claude Riedel, a psychologist and family therapist who co-directs the Adoptive Family Counseling Center in Minnesota. "The reality is that, at certain stages, it's normal to have questions: why did you choose not to parent me, not to keep me? And there may be complexities: have you kept your other children, but not me?"

We're honored to offer our services to women and couples throughout the United States. If you live in Oregon or Washington and would like to meet in person we have offices in Portland and Eugene, Oregon and Seattle, Washington or we'll come to you. We can also meet via Skype. (OA&FS can place children in adoption up to the age of three and one-half.)
It's important to keep in mind that, while adoption relationships can change, it is more complicated to increase contact than to decrease it. If a birth mother starts with an open relationship and then decides later that she needs distance, she can do this at any time. However, if an adoption is closed and a birth mother wants more contact, then she has to come to an agreement with the adoptive family. Therefore, it is especially important that a birth mother choosing closed adoption is sure that it is what she wants.
Children come into foster care through no fault of their own.  They come into care because their parents are not able to safely care for them, not because of something they have done.  When a child first comes into foster care, the goal — or case plan — is typically to reunify the child with their parent once it is safe to do so.  But sometimes parents are not able to provide a safe environment for their children.  As a result, the Court determines it would be better for the child to find an adoptive home.
The social stigma of unmarried mothers, particularly during the Baby Scoop Era (1945-1975) rendered them social outcasts. By the 1980s the situation improved greatly and the vast majority of unwed mothers kept their babies.[7] In a mother driven society after WWII infertile couples were also seen as deviant due to their inability to bear children. The social experiment of taking the children from "unmarried mothers" and "giving them" to adoptive parents became the norm during the BSE. These adoptions were predominantly closed. The records were sealed, biological mothers were told to keep their child a secret, and adoptive parents told to treat the child "as if born to".[8][9]
Thank you for visiting the Arizona photolisting website to learn more about our wonderful children. Some of the waiting children have special educational, emotional or medical needs; this information is confidential and does not appear in their profiles. More detailed information about the children can be shared with adoptive parents as they complete the adoption preparation process.
After taking adoption training courses, reading books, talking to fellow adoptive parents, and listening to the stories of birth parents and people who themselves were adopted, I decided that open adoption wasn't nearly as bad as I was making it out to be. It could be beautiful. It would give my son the missing link that people in closed adoptions never had access to. It would open our world and grow our family.
American Adoptions gives you the opportunity to choose one of these more open adoptions. In fact, all of the families that work through our agency are ready for an open adoption that includes: pictures and letters sent for 18 years, directly or through the agency; exchanging of personal phone numbers and email addresses for direct communication before and after placement; an in-person visit with you and your child after placement; and more. While these are the standards our agency sets, it's ultimately up to you and the adoptive family to decide how comfortable you feel with varying levels of openness in your Texas adoption.
Adoptive parents may be less likely to consider the possibility that they are doing something wrong, and blame the child's heredity. The parents may even unfavorably compare their adopted child with a near-perfect, genetically-related "fantasy" child. This enables them to blame ordinary problems which all parents face on their child's supposedly "defective" genes. Thus, while non-adoptive parents are focused on nurture, some adoptive parents are solely focused on nature (i.e. heredity) instead. This results in what could have been an easily resolved problem, going unresolved in families with adopted children, possibly accompanied by child abuse.[5]
Unfortunately, there are situations where an open adoption is either not an option or is not the best choice for the child. Some birth parents do not want an open adoption because they are afraid that the ongoing contact will be a constant reminder of the painful decision they made at a difficult time in their life. They may believe that a closed adoption will better allow them to emotionally heal. Other birth parents have not shared the fact of their pregnancy with their family or community and they may fear that an open adoption will undermine their desire for confidentiality. Finally, there are times when open adoption is not in the child's best interest due to the birth parents' circumstances.

Q: Elastic Beanstalk IAM developer permissions I have been trying to figure out what permissions I need to set to let a developer do eb deploy, eb logs and eb ssh on a particular EB environment. I want to set it so that all the developers can do deploy and debug on our develop environment, but that only one can do deploy and debug master.
I also want it locked down so that they can't affect any other EC2-instances, RDS-instances, S3-buckets, Load Balancers and so on.
Has anybody managed to put together an IAM policy (or two...) for this?

A: Elastic Beanstalk composes many AWS services. You need to give all specific permission to AWS resources those are used by Elastic Beanstalk to read and update the environment, including:

*

*CloudFormation

*EC2

*Auto Scaling Group

*Elastic Load Balancer

*CloudWatch

*S3

*SNS

*RDS

*SQS

*Elastic Beanstalk

This is all required policy to allow IAM user access, update, deploy and ssh to Elastic Beanstalk:
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "ElasticBeanstalkReadOnlyAccess",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "elasticbeanstalk:Check*",
        "elasticbeanstalk:Describe*",
        "elasticbeanstalk:List*",
        "elasticbeanstalk:RequestEnvironmentInfo",
        "elasticbeanstalk:RetrieveEnvironmentInfo",
        "ec2:Describe*",
        "elasticloadbalancing:Describe*",
        "autoscaling:Describe*",
        "cloudwatch:Describe*",
        "cloudwatch:List*",
        "cloudwatch:Get*",
        "s3:Get*",
        "s3:List*",
        "sns:Get*",
        "sns:List*",
        "cloudformation:Describe*",
        "cloudformation:Get*",
        "cloudformation:List*",
        "cloudformation:Validate*",
        "cloudformation:Estimate*",
        "rds:Describe*",
        "sqs:Get*",
        "sqs:List*"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    },
    {
      "Sid": "ElasticBeanstalkDeployAccess",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "autoscaling:SuspendProcesses",
        "autoscaling:ResumeProcesses",
        "autoscaling:UpdateAutoScalingGroup",
        "cloudformation:UpdateStack",
        "ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress",
        "ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress",
        "elasticloadbalancing:RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer",
        "elasticbeanstalk:CreateStorageLocation",
        "elasticbeanstalk:CreateApplicationVersion",
        "elasticbeanstalk:CreateConfigurationTemplate",
        "elasticbeanstalk:UpdateApplicationVersion",
        "elasticbeanstalk:UpdateConfigurationTemplate",
        "elasticbeanstalk:UpdateEnvironment",
        "elasticbeanstalk:ValidateConfigurationSettings",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:PutObjectAcl"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The above policy is to allow IAM users to read-only and deploy-only access to any Elastic Beanstalk and related services.
If you want to restrict access the users to a particular AWS resources, you need to specify the ARN and conditions by your self. For example:

*

*Restrict S3 resources to something like arn:aws:s3:::elasticbeanstalk-us-east-1-123456789012/* (Elastic Beanstalk's S3 Bucket).

*EC2 with Resource Tag as conditional (like: elasticbeanstalk:environment-name).

*You can also specify AWS region on ARN.

A: Here is how you can use it. This is no were perfect, but you have some ideas of how you can use it. There is obviously more to narrow this down, but this is enough for me at the moment.
The first section they can't really do any harm with so I let them have full access to them for now. (I should do S3 more granular)
I needed elasticloadbalancing:DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancer so I added so this team only can use that in the Europe region. That is fine for now as they are only there.
The third and fourth section is for my two Elastic Beanstalk apps they should have access to.

I'm a Wife and a Mother of four beautiful children… Three rapidly growing boys followed up by a little girl that has brought so much love to our family (and a lot more pink around)!! I am also a local Real Estate Broker at Platinum Properties NW and have been selling real estate in the greater Puget Sound area of Washington State since 2005. My biggest job of all is baking, cooking, cleaning and feeding this ever-growing family of mine!
So I found myself surfing the web searching for Chinesse chicken recipes… I've conquered a few recipes now Crock Pot Cashew Chicken, Sweet Spicy and Sticky Chicken, Homemade Orange Chicken and now I've come across this Honey Sesame Chicken recipe from CookingClassy. It's moved to my #1 spot for Chinese dishes… Although my husband would probably differ choosing the Sweet Sticky and Spicy recipe… But he likes the spice… when I tend to like the sweet!
I love to serve my Chinese dinners up with either some steamed rice … or if my Husband is feeling lucky I'll make some fried rice… and I do cheat (a little) and I buy the frozen egg rolls from Costco… I haven't quite mastered those homemade… And a Chinese dinner is not complete with out them!
Try this recipe out and don't let Chinese food intimidate you like it did me!
Homemade Honey Sesame Chicken made from scratch just like at a Chinese restaurant.
In a small saucepan combine: chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
Mix cornstarch with cold water, add to sauce and stir till thickens.
Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat (you want it at about 350) in a fryer or deep frying pan.
Dip in egg then flour to bread.
Fry chicken in oil... Do this in batches I did about ⅓ of my chicken at a time. Fry about 5-7 minutes per batch or until chicken is cooked and golden brown.
Transfer to plate with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Put chicken in to big bowl and cover with sauce, stir to completely cover.
Serve over a bed of white rice and top with sesame seed.
Quick side note… The original recipe called for dredging the chicken in a cornstarch/baking powder mix… I changed that! I've had bad experiences with frying with cornstarch… So I always default back to the flour! The original recipe can be found here.
In a small sauce pan combine: chicken broth, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper and bring to boil.
I forgot to take a picture of the adding of cornstarch slushy… So just mix cornstarch and cold water and add to the sauce after you have brought it to a boil. Stir until thickens and remove from heat, cover with lid to keep warm.
Cut chicken into bite size chunks. Dip in egg then flour.
Fry the chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through and is golden brown.
Place on plate with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Place chicken in big bowl to coat.
Add sauce to chicken and stir to cover completely.
Serve over a bed of rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Opps!!! Mommy was busy blogging!
I'm a Wife and a Mother of four beautiful children. My biggest job of all is baking, cooking, cleaning and feeding this ever growing family of mine! I like to make things from scratch as often as I can. hope some of my recipes can help inspire you with your family and their everyday meals! Learn more about me!
I made the original recipe for a Chinese Potluck Dinner and it was great! The two people at the table who are gluten free were glad I made it with cornstarch and not flour so will stick with your original recipe because of this.
Yes that's great! I've just had bad luck working with it!
Honey sesame chicken is the best, and I love your homemade version! I need to try making this myself.
I am with you on making Chinese at home because you don't know what cuts of meat they have used in the restaurant. It only takes one really iffy bite to make a person weary of what the breading could be hiding. Honey chicken is my favorite. I will definitely be trying this one.
YUM!! I've always wanted to try making this dish at home but have always been a little intimidated by it. I'm definitely going to try your recipe out…thanks!
I am addicted to sesame – and I love this dish if I eat Chinese out, but I never imagined it was so simple to make at home! That might be very dangerous for me!

The Hallsville post office is open for regular hours today after a sport utility vehicle crashed into the building yesterday.
No one was injured when a 1998 Ford Explorer driven by 64-year-old Hallsville resident Connie Hickam crashed through the west side of the post office building around 12:45 p.m. Hallsville Police Chief Tony Fields said Hickam told police she was applying the brake when her foot slipped and hit the accelerator, �causing her to crash into the building,� he said.
�That was the best thing for us,� Calvin said yesterday, noting that Lenoir was helping a customer in another part of the building when the accident happened.
Fields said the crash will be referred to the city prosecutor but he does not anticipate that charges will be filed.
The office closed at 2 p.m. yesterday, but U.S. Postal Area Manager Ron Calvin said a Boone County building inspector and Boone County Fire Protection District official deemed the building safe to reopen.
The accident was referred to the postal facility�s insurance carrier, Calvin said. He did not provide an estimate of the damage.
Calvin said future building repairs could cause short-term closure or relocation of the post office.
�We�ll probably have to close or relocate to fix the building because one wall is damaged pretty severely,� he said.

Classroom Esprit de Corps: Creating Community Through Peer Support
Writing is essentially a solitary act wherein writers put their fingers to the keyboard or pen to paper to create something that is truly their own. But writing should also be a communal or shared activity. Most writers, in fact, do their best work when they have the support of their peers. As educators Dan Kirby and Tom Liner state in their book Inside Out, "…learners and writers need to construct personal versions of the world around them, but then they also need to submit those unique versions to peers for response, negotiation, and confirmation."
Peer support can manifest itself in a number of ways. For example, before some writers even get started, they find it helpful to talk with their peers about a potential writing idea. Other writers appreciate specific feedback during the development of their work. Still others find their fellow writers most helpful at the end of the process when they evaluate the finished piece. In truth, a supportive writing community does all of this, and much more.
Establishing such a community in the classroom may not necessarily be easy, especially if students have had little experience with writing workshops, peer responding, authentic writing, and so on. In this blog, I will share with you one strategy that I used early in the school year to help establish a community spirit in my middle-school language-arts classroom.
Community Building Strategy
At the beginning of the year, I had students write in their classroom journals (notebooks) every other day. They could write about anything they wanted, knowing, however, that this was part of a classroom activity. Students were instructed to write nonstop for eight minutes. (I timed them and noted that the number of words they wrote would be counted.)
On the non-writing days, students exchanged their journals with the person sitting behind them or beside them. Partners first counted the number of words and recorded the total above the entries. Then I asked them to read the entry two times: the first time to get an overall feel for the writing (these were far, far from polished pieces of writing and weren't expected to be), and the second time to underline at least one or two things that they liked. They could underline surprising words, clever phrases, interesting ideas, and so on. But they had to find something.
Next, I would ask for volunteers to share with the rest of the class what they had read. I never lacked for a show of hands, since the students would be reading someone else's work. We would have at least two or three readings—each one with the original writer's approval. A brief discussion, focusing primarily on the parts that the reviewer underlined, would follow each reading.
Then all journals were returned to the original writers so they could see how many words they had written and what the reader liked in their entry. (Just seeing that a peer liked something was a confidence builder.)
This strategy got everyone involved in writing, reading, responding, and sharing. The discussions were positive because we focused on the strengths in the writing, and no one was needlessly embarrassed or hurt. More importantly, the strategy introduced students to the type of classroom I wanted to create—a community of supportive writers and learners.
A Simple Request: As a benefit to all teachers, please share a strategy that you use to establish or maintain a writing community in your classroom. Your idea may be just what another teacher needs to make his or her writing classroom operate more smoothly.

Bay Area Victories for Living Wage
by Seth Sandronsky,
On Tuesday San Francisco voters approved by a 77 to 23 percent margin Proposition J, which will increase the city's minimum wage from the current $10.74 per hour to $12.25 per hour by May 1, 2015. The city's minimum wage would climb to $13 per hour by July 2016; to $14 per hour by July 2017 and $15 per hour by July 2018.
"Prop. J will provide a much needed raise to $15 per hour for 140,000 of the lowest paid workers in our city," Gordon Mar, executive director of Jobs with Justice, San Francisco, told Capital & Main. "Prop. J will also raise the bar nationally for minimum wage policies."
The "Fight for $15" to gain a higher minimum wage for workers began in Seattle, Washington. Voters there, with Socialist Alternative city council member Kshama Sawant spearheading a grassroots movement, approved phased-in hikes to the minimum wage, eventually reaching $15 per hour, this year. That momentum in no small way encouraged people in U.S. cities such as San Francisco and Oakland to vote for increasing the pay of low-wage service workers to $15 per hour in this year's midterm elections.
In San Francisco, Prop. J includes an index for the minimum wage to keep pace with cost-of-living increases, or the rise in consumer prices, as Social Security does. That provision could help to lessen the severe affordability crisis of rental housing in the Bay Area, where economic security for low-wage workers remains elusive, according to Mar.
Across the bay in Oakland, 81 percent of the voters approved Measure FF to raise the hourly minimum wage of up to 48,000 workers to $12.25 an hour from California's current minimum of $9 per hour by March 2, 2015. Like San Francisco' Prop. J, Measure FF is indexed to the annual rate of inflation.
"This is a huge win for all low-wage workers and our entire community," said Kate O'Hara, executive director of the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, part of the Lift Up Oakland coalition. "When workers earn more they spend more, and that is good for economy, too."
Measure FF also mandates that employers provide their minimum-wage employees with up to nine days of paid sick leave coverage per year, which San Francisco law already provides.
"Receiving pay when ill and unable to work helps immensely," Burger King security officer John Jones, 40, said in a phone interview. "I missed five days of work due to a sickness earlier this year, lost all that pay, and am still recovering."
With this new pay raise of $2.25 scheduled to take effect next March, Jones' living standards will improve, he said. Now his family will be able to wash laundry once a week versus every two weeks, pay down debt and eat better quality food.
"From my perspective this is just a good first step in Oakland," said Dan Siegel, a civil rights attorney and Oakland mayoral candidate who finished in fifth place with 12 percent of the vote. "Growing income inequality is the most critical issue facing U.S. society, and efforts to raise the minimum wage in San Francisco, Oakland and other cities show that people in the U.S. are ready to address the issue."
Consider this: "The real minimum wage (adjusted for inflation) is lower today than it was in 1956 during Eisenhower's first administration," writes John Bellamy Foster in the Monthly Review. Real wages measure what workers can buy with their pay.
In Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, citizens voted on ballot initiatives to approve increasing the minimum wage incrementally. In Illinois, voters approved an advisory measure to hike the state minimum wage.
Alaska's minimum wage would climb from $7.75 per hour to $8.75 on January 1, 2015. In Arkansas, the state's minimum wage of $6.25 per hour rises to $7.50 per hour on January 1, 2015. Nebraska voters approved increasing the state minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $8 on January 1, 2015. In South Dakota, voters approved upping the state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour to $8.50 on January 1, 2015.
After a deep recession and a weak recovery, American workers need a raise. Tuesday's passage of minimum wage increases across the U.S. is proof that voters are ready and willing to make that happen.

Don't look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them. That is Ethan Chase's unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he's dare to fall for. Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister's world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myths and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten. My name is Ethan Chase. And I may not live to see my eighteenth birthday.
Ok so onto this amazing story. What Julie did was awesome! She brought back all of our old favorites so Team Puck and Team Ash you'll both be happy. But the story was completely Ethan's and it was dark and haunting and breathtakingly beautiful. I loved how Julie showed this other side of the Fey; or what a human caught in their world would feel. His fear was palpable and his need for isolation I totally understood. There are a few people who break through his wall though, an Iron Fey named Keirran (if you've read any of Julie's blog posts, or The Iron Knight you may have an inkling why this dude is important) and a girl, a human girl named Kenzie who doesn't put up with Ethan's crap and is as stubborn as he is (looovvveee her btw!) and together they have this adventure, not a good one mind you, that is very reminiscent of journeys taken by Ash, Megan, and Puck. The new baddies are scary and every bit as evil as the Iron Fey were, maybe worse. I also loved how Julie incorporated the martial arts she's taking in real life into the story. Ethan is a badass in Kali and he's wicked with a sword or a wooden stick! People let me tell you right now when this book goes on sale you must buy it!
"Lindwurm," came the voice above our heads, and Grimalkin appeared in the branches, peering down at us.
"That you know of, human." Grimalkin returned mysteriously, and continued deeper into the wildwood.
Add The Lost Prince to you Goodreads lists!
Awesome review! Julie Kagawa is such an amazing author it's not even funny! And I always found Ethan really adorable so it will be cool to read about him all grown up!
Great review! I loved Kagawa's Iron Fey series though I wasn't a huge fan of this book unfortunately. But I'm still looking forward to reading the sequel.
Yayyyy I'm glad you liked it so much!!! I'm really looking forward to reading it :D Awesome review, now you have me more excited!!!!

Auto Bailout, Rail and Gas Taxes
Should GM build trains?
The federal government is giving General Motors, Ford and Chrysler $25 billion in low-interest loans, and the companies are asking for up to $25 billion more....
The Obama administration should ask the companies, as a condition of financial assistance, to begin shifting from being just automakers to becoming innovative "transportmakers." ...
As transportmakers, the companies could produce vehicles for high-speed train and bus systems that would improve our travel options, reduce global warming, conserve energy, minimize accidents and generally improve the way we live.
... As part of its loan package, the government should insist on the development of "transportmaker business plans" from the car companies, with specific timelines for developing more fuel-efficient cars. The companies should also provide detailed plans to transform some of their factories into research and manufacturing centers for the development of light-rail cars and high-speed trains and buses. (In some cases, these could run on existing tracks and on the median strips of Interstate highways; in others, entirely new lanes and tracks would be built.)
.... In the early 1930s, G.M. joined with other companies to develop the Burlington Zephyr, a radically innovative train that broke world speed records and cut train travel times in half. During World War II, the auto companies converted their factories to build not only military trucks and jeeps, but also airplanes, weapons, tanks and other vehicles. Ford's Willow Run plant built thousands of B-24 bombers, becoming the world's biggest bomber plant....
This will never happen, but probably should:
A price floor for gasoline would ease the bailout's burden on taxpayers. At current prices, a floor of $3.50 per gallon would generate more than $17 billion in one month — a big chunk of a $25 billion bailout. If, without the floor, gasoline averaged $2.50 per gallon over the next year, revenues would amount to $140 billion. That money could pay for a sound transportation policy agenda beyond the bailout.
DP said...
call me a pessimst, but...
Big Three making train/transit vehicles: The only way for them to get into to the market quickly would be to buy an existing manufacturer. First, we'd have to give them the cash for the purchase. But bigger than that, assuming they bought a well-run, profitable manufacturer, what are the odds that it would stay that way under Big Three management?
Price floor for gas - what would stop the gas companies from just never reducing the price below $3.50 (regardless of production cost) and capturing all the surplus revenue for themselves? Seems like it would require a lot of government intervention in the market.
Mark Miller said...
GM's Electromotive Division has been the world's No.1 or No.2 producer (GE is the other) of railroad engines since they entered the business in 1922. They just sold off the division in 2004 to focus on automobiles.
Why should we bailout a management team who sheds it's rail techonolgy at the very moment when rail is coming back? Especially when that was one of its top performing divisions.
It's time for these clowns to be given the ole heave-ho so this dinosaur can finally evolve. That's exactly what Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is designed for. Forget the bailout and let nature take its course.

Award-winning Forensics Team at LSC-Kingwood
Written by Jeffry Tupa
Lone Star College-Kingwood Forensics Team is busy attending tournaments and bringing home trophies. The team is headed to a five-state regional competition. Five team members will then head to Chicago for a national competition. LSC-Kingwood team members are Nathan Byrd, Jeremy Trepagnier, Kelsie Copeland, Alicia Adams, Marisa Brown, Holly Burns, Christian Collins, Fallon Hopper and Mikayla Riddles. Professor Collier Patton, director of forensics and associate professor of speech communication, says participation in forensics helps create a bridge to four-year universities. "Our students are really coming into their own and making quite a name for themselves as they compete against the brightest students from colleges and universities around the nation." "Forensics competition is one of the things that employers say is a great benefit to have on one's resume." Forensics competitions involve three kinds of events: Public Speaking events where students give memorized, extemporaneous, or impromptu speeches; Oral Interpretation events where students interpret a piece of literature; and Parliamentary Debate where students work in teams to debate issues against other teams. Trepagnier was a student in Professor Patton's speech class when he was recruited to the team after arguing with his professor on the first day of class. He says his involvement in the team has helped him enormously. He's become more involved with student activities, made new friends, and improved his grades. "Being on the team has opened doors for me. I received a forensics scholarship and I already have scholarship offers from five universities." The team competed at the Texas Community College Speech and Theatre Association tournament where Byrd won second place in Communication Analysis, eighth in Impromptu Speaking, and seventh in Extemporaneous Speaking. Riddles and Hopper placed fifth in Duo Interpretation. The combined efforts of the team earned the college third place in debate. They headed next to the Speech on the Beach tournament in Corpus Christi where they competed against both community colleges and four-year universities. Byrd and Trepagnier won third place in Parliamentary Debate. Trepagnier won second top speaker in Debate and Byrd brought home an additional five awards in various categories. Riddles and Hopper both won awards as well. The team won the second- place sweepstakes trophy in debate. The Spring Parliamentary Debate Marathon, sponsored by the Houston Area League of Forensics and attended by colleges and universities from across the nation, was hosted by LSC-Kingwood. Trepagnier and Copeland won second place and Trepagnier received the fifth top speaker award for the first half of this two-part tournament. In the second half Byrd won first place with his partner from Central Texas College and Trepagnier won the fifth top speaker. The team earned the second place sweeps trophy in both parts of the tournament and second place sweeps overall. Riddles was involved in her high school debate team and says forensics helped her overcome stage fright and become a more confident speaker. She says she has enjoyed the friends she has made through the Forensics team. Any LSC-Kingwood student may participate on the forensics team and scholarships are available for participation in forensics. For more information on the Forensics Team, contact Patton at 281-312-1764. Registration is under way for LSC-Kingwood May mini-term and summer classes. The first session of summer classes begins June 2 and ends July 8. The second summer session begins July 10 and ends Aug. 14. Register early for best class selection. For more information, call 281-312-1600 or visit Kingwood.LoneStar.edu.

Ritonavir (RTV), vândut sub numele de marcă Norvir, este un medicament antiretroviral utilizat împreună cu alte medicamente pentru tratarea HIV/SIDA. Această combinație de tratament este cunoscută sub numele de terapie antiretrovirală înalt activă (abreviată HAART, din ). De multe ori, o doză mică este utilizată cu alți inhibitori de protează. Acesta poate fi, de asemenea, utilizat în asociere cu alte medicamente pentru hepatita C. Este administrat oral. Capsulele acestui medicament nu acționează la fel ca tabletele.

Printre efectele secundare comune se numără greață, vărsături, pierderea poftei de mâncare, diaree și senzație de amorțeală în mâini și picioare. Reacții adverse grave sunt probleme hepatice, pancreatită, reacții alergice și aritmii. Pot să apară interacțiuni grave cu alte medicamente, printre care amiodarona și simvastatina. La doze mici, este considerat a fi acceptabil pentru utilizare în timpul sarcinii. Ritonavir este parte din clasa inhibitorilor de protează. Cu toate acestea, este de obicei folosit pentru a inhiba enzima care metabolizează alți inhibitori de protează. Această inhibiție permite utilizarea de doze mai mici din aceste alte medicamente.

Ritonavir a fost brevetat în 1989 și a intrat în uz medical în 1996. Se află pe Lista medicamentelor esențiale ale Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății, cele mai sigure și cele mai eficiente medicamente necesare într-un sistem de sănătate. La nivel global, costul en gros în lumea în curs de dezvoltare este între 0,07 și 2,20 dolari pe zi. În Statele Unite costă aproximativ 9,20–55 de dolari pe zi, în funcție de doză.

Uz medical
Ritonavir este utilizat împreună cu alte medicamente pentru tratarea HIV/SIDA.

Efecte secundare
Începând cu 2015, ritonavir este mult mai utilizat pe scară largă la doze mai mici, pe baza activității ca inhibitor de CYP3A4. Efectele adverse la aceste doze mai mici nu au fost caracterizată în mod extensiv. Atunci când este administrat la dozele inițial testate suficient de mari pentru a fi eficient pentru terapia anti-HIV, efectele secundare ale ritonavir sunt:
 astenie, oboseală
 diaree
 greață și vărsături
 durere abdominală
 amețeală
 insomnie
 transpirații
 schimbări ale simțului gustului
 efecte metabolice, printre care
 hipercolesterolemie
 hipertrigliceridemie
 transaminaze crescute
 creatine kinaze crescute
Unul dintre efectele secundare este hiperglicemia, prin inhibarea transportorului GLUT4 regulat de insulină, prevenind astfel intrarea glucozei în celulele musculare și adipoase. Acest lucru poate duce la rezistența la insulina și poate cauza probleme pentru persoanele cu diabet zaharat tip II.

Interacțiuni medicamentoase
Ritonavir induce CYP 1A2 și inhibă două izoforme majore ale P450, 3A4 și 2D6. Terapie concomitentă de ritonavir cu o varietate de medicamente poate duce la interacțiuni medicamentoase grave și uneori letale. Lista de interacțiuni clinic semnificative ale ritonavir include următoarele medicamente:

 amiodaronă
 bosentan
 midazolam și triazolam
 carbamazepină
 chinidină
 cisapridă
 disulfiram
 eplerenonă
 etravirină
 fenitoină
 flecainidă
 Hypericum perforatum
 MDMA
 mescalină
 meperidină
 nilotinib
 nisoldipină
 oxicodonă
 pimozidă
 ranolazină
 salmeterol
 saquinavir
 statine
 tioridazină
 topotecan
 voriconazol

Mecanism de acțiune

Ritonavir a fost inițial dezvoltat ca un inhibitor al proteazei HIV, parte a familiei de inhibitori molecule mici pseudo-C2-simetrice.

Ritonavir este acum foarte rar folosit în afar combinațiilor, fiind utilizat pe scară largă ca adjuvant al altor inhibitori de protează. Mai precis, ritonavir este utilizat pentru inhibarea unei anumite enzime în intestine, ficat și alte țesuturi care, în mod normal, metabolizează inhibitorii de protează, citocromul P450-3A4 (CYP3A4). Medicamentul se leagă și inhibă CYP3A4, deci o doză mică poate fi folosită pentru a spori activitatea altor inhibitori de protează. Această descoperire a redus drastic efectele adverse și a îmbunătățit eficacitatea inhibitorilor de protează și HAART. Cu toate acestea, din cauza rolului general al CYP3A4 în metabolizarea xenobioticelor, dozarea cu ritonavir afectează eficacitatea a numeroase alte medicamente.

Farmocodimanică și farmacocinetică
Capsulele medicamentului nu au aceeași biodisponibilitate precum tabletele.

Cercetare
În 2020, combinația lopinavir/ritonavir a fost studiată și nu s-au găsit dovezi pentru eficacitatea sa în formele severe de COVID-19. În studiu, administrarea medicamentului a început la aproximativ 13 zile după debutul simptomelor.

At Family Promise of Brevard, our mission is to end family homelessness in Brevard County by collaborating with our community to provide families the support and resources they need to put themselves on a path towards long-term housing stability. Our vision is that every family in Brevard County has safe affordable housing and the resource to achieve self-sufficiency and lasting independence.
Right now in Brevard County, there are over 2500 families who have no stable place to call home due to the widening gap between a family's income and the cost of affordable housing. They sleep in cars, motels, or doubled up with others, worrying about their safety and where their next meal will come from.
Imagine being able to make an impact on a family at-risk of or experiencing homelessness. You can change their life – forever. Through our three-pillar programs; Shelter, Prevention and Stability, and our network of community collaborations, we provide effective solutions to ending and preventing family homelessness in Brevard County. We prioritize families and keeping the family unit together as they gain a fresh start and a stronger future.
Our solution for ending family homelessness is through community-driven collaborations. As leaders in Brevard County on the issue of family homelessness, we strive to use existing resources rather than recreate services that already exist. This collaborative approach across multiple organizations, allows us to provide a holistic response to housing instability. Through this model, we are able to focus our efforts and resources on empowering and guiding families toward stronger futures, while keeping them together during one of the most stressful and difficult times in their lives.
Family Promise of Brevard, Inc. is one of 216 affiliates of the national organization Family Promise, which was founded in 1986 by Karen Olsen, and is headquartered in Summit, New Jersey. Family Promise of Brevard originated out of Palm Bay in 2007 and became operational on September 29, 2013.

Q: get information from html table using Curl i need to get some information about some plants and put it into mysql table.
My knowledge on Curl and DOM is quite null, but i've come to this:
    set_time_limit(0);
include('simple_html_dom.php');

$ch = curl_init ("http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1501/");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;     rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept-Language: es-es,en"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$data = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

$html= str_get_html($data);

$e = $html->find("table", 8);

 echo $e->innertext;

now, i'm really lost about how to move in from this point, can you please guide me?
Thanks!

A: This is a mess.
But at least it's a (somewhat) consistent mess.
If this is a one time extraction and not a rolling project, personally I'd use quick and dirty regex on this instead of simple_html_dom. You'll be there all day twiddling with the tags otherwise.
For example, this regex pulls out the majority of title/data pairs:
$pattern = "/(.*?)\s*
(.*?)</?(td|p)>/si";

You'll need to do some pre and post cleaning before it will get them all though.
I don't envy you having this task...

A: Your best bet will be to wrape this in php ;)
Yes, this is a ugly hack for a ugly html code.
<?php
ob_start();
system("
    /usr/bin/env links -dump 'http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1501/' |
    /usr/bin/env perl -lne 'm/((Family|Genus|Species):\s+\w+\s+\([\w-]+\))/ && \
        print $1'
");
$out = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
print $out;
?>

A: Use Simple Html Dom and you would be able to access any element/element's content you wish. Their api is very straightforward.

A: you can try somthing like this.
<?php
$ch = curl_init ("http://www.digionline.ir/Allprovince/CategoryProducts/cat=10301");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$page = curl_exec($ch);

$dom = new DOMDocument();
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$dom->loadHTML($page);
libxml_clear_errors();
$xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);

$data = array();
// get all table rows and rows which are not headers
$table_rows = $xpath->query('//table[@id="tbl-all-product-view"]/tr[@class!="rowH"]');
foreach($table_rows as $row => $tr) {
    foreach($tr->childNodes as $td) {
        $data[$row][] = preg_replace('~[\r\n]+~', '', trim($td->nodeValue));
    }
    $data[$row] = array_values(array_filter($data[$row]));
}

echo '
';
print_r($data);
?>


A Combined Penetrometer–Moisture Probe for Surveying Soil Properties of Natural HillslopesAll rights reserved.

Information on spatial distributions of soil water content and mechanical strength is fundamental to hydrogeomorphological studies in mountainous watersheds. For simultaneous measurements of soil water content, θ, and penetration resistance, Nc, of soil mantles on natural hillslopes, we developed a new type of combined penetrometer–moisture probe (CPMP). The new CPMP has a robust configuration to reduce the frequency of moisture probe breakdowns during penetration into gravelly and rocky natural soils, and it has a penetration depth of up to 552 cm, which is about four to 14 times greater than the maximum measurable depth of any previous CPMP developed for agricultural soils. Laboratory calibrations and field validations showed that the CPMP succeeded in producing vertical distributions for θ and Nc similar to those measured with conventional methods. The CPMP provided less time-consuming and less destructive measurements of θ profiles than conventional methods that require excavation of deep trenches. Because θ profiles consider the stratified characteristics of soil mantles as well as the depths of groundwater tables, the CPMP was more effective than the conventional cone penetrometer for surveying the hydrogeomorphological structure of soil mantles. The CPMP was successful in determining the spatial distributions of θ and Nc in a headwater basin underlain by weathered granitic bedrock. From a direct comparison between two θ and Nc values measured on two different days at nearby points and the same depth, it was shown that Nc tended to decrease when θ increased by more than 0.15.

Reflexion is an expression in honor to Macallan's fifth pillar, which showcases the whisky's deep mahogany color sucked naturally out of the first-fill hogshead casks. These smaller 200-liter casks allow the spirit to interact with a greater wood surface area. Reflexion is presented in a decanter designed to reflect the light in a way that shows off its natural beauty.
"All the classic Macallan notes mingle in this fine expression. Rich caramel bow to spices and candy-floss sugars. The first taste is colossal, juicy sherry with raisins spritzed with the Macallan's signature citrus zest. Crisp oak weaves in and out until the finish snaps to a pleasant citrus bitterness with roasted nuts and chocolate. A soft wave of baking spices coasts by. This whisky won't improve your appearance or help with your spelling, but you feel a little wiser for experiencing it. "

Leicester City's trip to Everton at risk as training ground closed
The match with Tottenham has been called off and with first-team operations at the club's training ground now closed down for 48 hours, their next game is also at risk
Jordan Blackwell
Leicester City's trip to Everton remains a huge doubt after more positive Covid cases in the squad.
City's fixture with Tottenham on Thursday night has been called off after the club resubmitted an application for postponement to the Premier League on the morning of the game.
While City's appeals were rejected earlier in the week, more positive cases left them without the personnel to fulfil the fixture, with the Premier League board agreeing to postpone the game.
In an attempt to stop the spread of Covid within the camp, City have closed down first-team operations at their Seagrave base for 48 hours.
Leicester City issue statement as Tottenham Hotspur fixture postponed
'Lineker allowed to ref' - Leicester City fans divided on Premier League decision to postpone Tottenham clash
They will then return and test again on Saturday to see if they have enough squad members to fulfil Sunday's trip to Everton.
Depending on when the first batch of positive cases occurred, City could have a number of players back.
There were seven players who missed the trip to Napoli last week because of either Covid or illness, one of whom was Daniel Amartey, who returned to training on Wednesday.
Of the other six, if they indeed had Covid and tested positive on Tuesday, the day before the flight to Italy, or earlier, then they will have passed their 10-day quarantine period in time to return to training on Saturday.
That, though, does not necessarily mean they will be available for Sunday's game. One training session after a significant time out may not be enough to get them match ready. For example, Amartey was not considered fit to start Thursday's game after he made his training comeback on Wednesday.
If they did not test positive until last Wednesday morning, they will still be isolating come Saturday, and will not be able to take part in training, placing further doubt over the match at Goodison Park.

Q: About the processing at the home button down I am thinking of a specific process when the home button is pressed.

*

*Purpose

I want a specific processing by using the following logic when the home button is pressed.
And it does not use the KeyEvent and Broadcastreceiver.

*

*Problem

Although the following logic will be worked on Android 4.4, but it will be called also at the time of Activity changes. I mean it doesn't satisfy my purpose from Android 4.4.
I would like to call specific processing only at the time of home button down.

private static final int ANDROID_VERSION_KITKAT = 19;

@Override

protected void onUserLeaveHint() {

    super.onUserLeaveHint();

    ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    List<RunningTaskInfo> recentTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
    for (int i = 0; i < recentTasks.size(); i++) {
        if (recentTasks.get(i).baseActivity.toShortString().indexOf(getPackageName()) > -1){
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= ANDROID_VERSION_KITKAT){
                if (i == 0){
                    // Processing of Android 4.4
                    break;
                }
            } else {
                if (i == 1) {
                    // Processing before Android 4.4
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


The meat industry has been traditionally one of the main sectors of food industry. An excess of meat products consumption has been related to an increased risk of some diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes and some types of cancer. This work deals with the development and evaluation of different strategies to improve the nutritional quality of meat products, maintaining at the same time their stability and typical sensory properties. In consequence, the objectives of the work include the design, elaboration and evaluation of meat products, in order to provide scientific support to their potential functional effect. The main conclusions of the work were: 1.	The dietary use of different sources of ω-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in Iberian pigs caused significant improvement in the lipid profile of the meat products obtained rom the respective animals. The administration of feed enriched in fish oil led to significant increases of EPA and DHA, only comparable with those of DHA obtained with the use of feed enriched in microalgae. The use of linseed oil in the feed was not efficient regarding the long chain ω-3 PUFA deposition, at least in the conditions and products studied. 2.	Dry fermented sausages elaborated with a pre-emulsified mixture of linseed and algae oils (3:2) (as a substitution of 25% of total pork back fat), selenium yeast and iodized salt, in agreement the European legislation, could include the nutrient claims "High in ω-3 PUFA", "High in selenium" an "High in iodine", showing at the same time a good sensory quality. 3.	Dry fermented sausages elaborated with pre-emulsified linseed oil and with a partial replacement of NaC1 by calcium ascorbate could be claimed as "Source of ω-3 fatty acids", "Reduced sodium" and "High calcium", being safe, and showing a sensory acceptability similar to that of traditional formulations. 4.	Lyophilized water extracts of leaves from Borago officinalis showed an effective antioxidant capacity for controlling lipid oxidation in dry fermented sausages elaborated with linseed oil. 5.	Lyophilized water extracts of Melissa officinalis were effective for maintaining the oxidative stability of highly unsaturated oil-in-water emulsions made with a mixture of algae and linseed oils (3:2). These emulsions had been proof to be adequate as functional ingredients in dry fermented sausages without inducing sensory or stability problems along 90 days of storage.

The Bling Dynasty: China's Wealthiest 1 Percent
Welcome to the Good Life
For the newly rich in China maintaining a luxurious lifestyle is a strong indication that you are, essentially, killin' it. From bougie yachting conventions to polo tournaments China's one percent is attracting a host of European and Western brands that are eager to capitalize on the good life in a new market
Click here to read "The Bling Dynasty" article by Devin Friedman.
(upbeat music)
Luxury in China is not frivolous.
It's not superficial.
In China, only one percent would say
that luxury products are superficial pursuits.
Luxury is a tool of success on the battlefield of life.
I'm Delphine Lignières and I created So! Dalian
which is a boating event in the north of China.
In every of the event we are developing,
we are trying to bring lifestyle and to bring experience.
We have to show the customer what you can do on board.
How you can enjoy on board the fine things
like strawberries, champagne, caviar, cigars.
We have to remember, 30 years ago,
China was an incipient basketcase.
I mean it was total isolation.
Having a car was a luxury.
Everybody was on bicycle.
So going from complete isolation to huge transformation,
China is now the biggest market for all
the Western luxury brands.
The new generation now who haven't actually lived the life
of their parents want to discover something new.
When we started to develop the boating industry,
they were quite a challenge because some did not want
to face the sun or couldn't swim.
And that why the key was to bring them on the water.
And to offer them the opportunity
to discover the great excitement of sailing.
I tell all of my customers what is the difference
you have 500 million US, 600 million US.
There's a big difference, you have one million,
10 million or 100 million.
There's a great difference.
But there is no difference anymore you have 500 million
or 600 million, if that's the figure.
Enjoy your life.
We organise the first beach polo tournament in China.
Equestrian activities are considered as noble sports
so that's why it's attracting a lot of upper-class people.
The idea is to develop international communities and club.
You have the same values.
You feel the same things, actually.
Wherever you are from, you are from your same category.
(gentle piano music)
(vocalizing in foreign language)
Face is the currency of forward advancement.
Face is acknowledgement that other people give you
but is translated into getting them to do things for you.
And it's generated according to a very
opaque network of associations.
All those high-end activities in a way will help them
to do networking too because, never forget
that Chinese never disconnect in doing business.
That, like in every country, you want
to belong to the upper class.
That's what you aim to.
When you're working, your trying to do
your best to be on the top.
You show lifestyle, you show in which league
and which level you are playing.
I strongly believe this yachting will be booming.
It's just a question of time.
(energetic music)
The China market is the future of the luxury market.
And there are many people that say
that it's bound to tail off.
But, in my opinion, it's not going to tail off.
Money will not become something that is crude
because it is a meritocratic marker of success.
And one thing about the Chinese is they revel
in the comprique and the quantifiable.
To me, it's still a little bit of a mystery
what exactly the Chinese dream is.
I've asked my friends, I've asked my driver,
I've asked my assistants, I say,
what do you think this means?
I think it's a promise, it's a hope for everybody
to improve their lives in a time, right now,
where there is a big rich-poor divide.
It's something that brings the other 99%
that do not hold the country's wealth,
give them something to work towards.
It's hard if you're not being a communist country anymore
and you're being capitalist, then you are going
to have those differences.
It's natural.
