HOW DID I BECOME A HISTORIAN?
Although history has always been a passion of mine, it was only later in life that I decided to make a career out of it.
It was late 2007, and I'd been working in I.T. – the subject of my first degree – for about two and a half years. The people were lovely and the work was okay, but I just wasn't passionate about it. And while I'd always loved history, it seemed to present few job prospects. Fortunately, I.T. teachers with industry experience were in demand, so I decided to do a one-year Graduate Diploma in History followed by a Teaching Diploma. I reasoned that, once my I.T. background had gotten me a plum teaching job at a good school, I would weasel my way into their humanities department.
But once I stepped into the History Department at Victoria University of Wellington, I was hooked. History, I discovered, was not simply the retelling of past events – it was the art of trying to interpret the often fragmented historical evidence, and developing arguments that best fit that evidence. It was about context, and nuance, and about reading between the lines. It was about creating new knowledge, and casting it into the collective pool of historical knowledge so that it could be debated and dissected.
Rather than doing a Teaching Diploma, I went on to do Honours after finishing my Graduate Diploma, and then straight into my PhD (which I completed in 2015). And I wrote – oh, how I wrote. More essays that I'd ever written before in my life, it seemed. But beyond that, I also sought as many opportunities as I could for publication. My first was a space history piece for 'Liftoff', the magazine of the New Zealand Spaceflight Association. Since then I've published four journal articles, three commissioned research reports, a public history piece for NZHistory.net, and over a dozen journalistic and general interest pieces. I've also self-published two oral histories – one for my grandmother, and one for my friend Brian Fox.
In 2012 I started working for the Waitangi Tribunal Unit in an entry level position. I still work there today in a senior technical leadership role. Broadly, my work involves providing procedural and evidential advice and support to the Tribunal in running its inquiries. It allows me to exercise my analytical skills (on both historical and contemporary matters), including the production of commissioned historical research.
WHY DO I WRITE HISTORY?
I write history for lots of reasons. First, and perhaps most importantly, it's because I love doing it! The excitement of poring through dusty old archives, seeking that amazing find that will confirm or shatter your assumptions (I call those 'Indiana Jones moments'); the sudden flash of inspiration where all of the disparate threads of your research suddenly fit together; the sublime agony of writing, as you corral and cajole your thoughts into a coherent structure; and the satisfaction of casting your completed work into the wider world, perhaps therein to challenge what we all take for granted as true.
History, like other humanities subjects, is a heady and unique mix of art and science, of literary inspiration and analytical rigour. The best histories entertain and inform; they draw you in, and pull you headlong to their conclusion without pause for breath. Thus, my second and equally important reason for writing history – because I believe it should be enjoyable and accessible to all. Academic history has its place, but I am a firm believer that history should be well-written, clearly understandable, and widely read. If knowledge is to serve its transformative purpose (as I sincerely believe it should), how else could it possibly be conveyed except in a user-friendly fashion?
The 'history of the right'
A rally of the New Guard of New South Wales swearing an oath to crush communism, 18 February 1932
My primary area of interest is the often-neglected 'history of the right' – conservatism, authoritarianism, fascism, and any number of other 'isms' that fall on the right side of the political spectrum. While my own political views lie on the opposite end of the spectrum, I find myself drawn to trying to understand those who find an ideological home so far from my own.
My thesis looked at several populist conservative movements that arose in Australia and New Zealand during the Great Depression. These movements sprang into being being virtually overnight and amassed a collective membership numbering in the hundreds of thousands. At the height of their influence they posed a direct challenge to the electoral base of mainstream conservative parties. They soon faded away from the political scene and, indeed, from the collective memory of Australian and New Zealand society.

Where had they come from? Why they had amassed such widespread support so quickly? What kind of people supported them, and why? What shared beliefs and assumptions drove them, and what did they hope to achieve? And perhaps most importantly, why did they apparently fail to achieve any lasting success? It is these questions that I sought to answer in my thesis, and which generally feed my interest in the history of similar right-wing movements and ideologies.
Other research interests
I also have a number of other research interests, including environmental history, political history, the Cold War, the politics of space exploration, and historical methodology.

We have done few tests on Smartron LA-E808 and 3M LD-6000 for the purpose of research, these tests are helpful to understand the information that someone may be needed.
Smartron Eye Pro LA-E808 has a evenly luminous intesity distribution than 3M LD6000 as you can see here.
To compare the effect of these 2 LED Lamp comparison. Please must CLICK TO ENLARGE to see the situation to the reduction of the glare, LA-E808 has very less glare reflection in the test while 3M LD 6000's has more glare.
There is absolutely no image modifying software of any kind used in here. Base on Japenese brand Nikon D5200 to make the photo.
By using the Side Double Refraction Technic, Smartron LA-E808 performs a even and smooth light as you can click to enlarge the picture. For 3M LD6000, we discovered a serous blinking strips here.
As you click to enlarge the 3M LD6000 picture, you can see the LED light on the right is much brighter than the left side, the contrast is so obvious and barely can observe the rainbow strips on the right. Smartron LA-E808's light source is stable, even and balanced without flickering and rainbow strips.
Enter a brief description of this pair of images here to help your visitor understand how they're related. If you're showing before and after photos, for example, you might point out some of the improvements from one to the other.

Adapted from Cindy Chupack | The Longest Date | Penguin Books, 2014
No one is ever at her prettiest while at her sickest. It's not just the sniffling and sneezing and watery eyes that mar one's beauty. It's the whining and feigning helplessness and playing up of all other manner of cold-related drama that are sorta unsightly. And it ain't just the ladies who indulge in such unbecoming behavior. If we're frank, it tends to happen more often than not when guys get sick. Many an aspiring Florence Nightingale has unwittingly found herself struggling as a passive-aggressive caretaker with less-than-charitable intentions because of the noxious behavior of their sniveling other half. If we take comfort in nothing else, we can at least be appeased knowing best-selling author and award-winning writer Cindy Chupack is afflicted with the same occasional pang of annoyance. Here, excerpted from The Longest Date: Life As a Wife, are her darkest and most self-deprecating thoughts about playing maid to her better half. See if you recognize anyone.–Renee Schettler Rossi
It was recently pointed out to me that when it comes to dealing with illness in our marriage, Ian is the more nurturing one. The fact that it was Ian who pointed this out (and it wasn't the first time he's done so) makes me feel he should lose a few nurturing points. I can't imagine Mother Theresa bragging about how much more nurturing she was than everyone else in the leper colony, but, putting that aside, I have noticed that whenever I wake up with a sore throat or cold, Ian rises to the occasion almost eagerly, heating water for Theraflu, arming me with the remote, plying me with vitamin C, and getting chicken soup or sometimes even making chicken soup.
I, on the other hand, and somewhat to my surprise, do not enjoy taking care of a sick husband as much as I had imagined I might. I had visions of bringing my spouse soup on a tray accompanied by a flower in a bud vase and a carefully folded newspaper, like movie spouses do. Like Ian does. But that was not to be.
I would like to believe I will get better at nurturing with age (it will certainly become more necessary with age), but despite the example Ian set, I maintain that there is something about seeing your husband with a cold (even if he's a very nice husband) that is just not appealing.
Of course, if Ian were seriously ill, that would be another matter. If he had something life-threatening or immobilizing, I feel certain I would rise to the occasion as I have for many friends over the years, but we're talking about a cold.
I would like to add here that I rarely get sick. I get sick maybe once every year or two, and only for a few days. So taking care of me could be considered almost a novelty.
Ian seems to get sick more often ("like a regular person," he would insist, because he thinks it's weird that I get sick so infrequently). But when the fuzzy sock is on the other foot, when I wake to hear him sneezing in sets of seven without covering his mouth, coughing seemingly for dramatic effect, unable to open his eyes when he hoarsely talks—especially if he was out drinking the night before, which is sometimes the case—he just seems…weak.
By now it should be clear that I don't deserve a husband. If it helps, I am as shocked and disappointed by this failure as Ian probably was. Until I got married, I was completely unaware that I had this bitchy inner nurse who just wants everyone to get up and get back to business, but I do, and—what can I say?—she hates her job.
Maybe I need to try harder. Maybe the next time he is sick I'll make him soup, and bring it to him on a tray with a flower and newspaper.
But I doubt it.

This cracks me up as my wife and I were discussing this very topic in response to a cold/flu medicine commercial that has been recently airing that references the "Man-Flu". I jokingly said the commercial was man-bashing and there would be a commotion if the genders were reversed. While there is some truth to that in my opinion there is also some truth in how hard I have seen myself and other men in my life take getting sick. I am not sure why it is, perhaps because we feel we must be strong in life and when we get sick it is an opportunity to put the defenses down and soak up some attention while exaggerating how weak and sick we are 🙂 I have seen the hardest of men (my dad) reduced to an almost boneless-like body at the sign of a cold. We are an interesting half indeed.
Renee Schettler says:
Mario, glad you can see the humor in this, as that's what we intended. I confess, I agree with you that it is, in a sense, man bashing. I hope it's apparent that my intent was to be playful and not mean. I recently heard a terrific quote about how it's not that stereotypes aren't true, it's that they're not the full truth. I think what you suggest may have a lot of truth in it. I'm going to give guys the benefit of the doubt and say who knows what it is in the physiological makeup of males that makes colds seem more burdensome?! And yes, you said it perfectly, an interesting half, indeed!
Martha in KS says:
I believe in KS grounds for divorce include "mounds of crumpled snot rags."
Would that it were true in AZ as well!
Stu B. says:
Cindy! Are you just now realizing that there are "colds" and then there are "Man Colds". Man Colds are much worse and entail dramatic expressions of hoarseness and loudly blowing one's nose and complaining of migrating aching of just about everything. Nothing cures it. It takes a week. The non-ill partner is best served by leaving the home.
Yup… "Man Colds" are something serious… I hate it when my husband is ill or feels pain in parts of his body and he's acting like almost falling apart…while I'm able to do everything…work at the office, do housework, etc…and not because I'm less ill or something…argh…men 🙂
Understand completely, Jennifer. Completely.
Hah! Stu, I'm answering on behalf of Cindy since I chose to share her words on the site. Your self-awareness and advice are very much appreciated and your proposed solution is the best I've ever heard for the situation!

I came. I slawed. I concasséd (that's chef speak for a fancy method of dicing a tomato). And now that I've graduated from New York City's nutrition-driven culinary school, Natural Gourmet Institute, which focuses on food that tastes delicious but also happens to be good for you, I appreciate a healthy cooking trick more than ever. Here are a few of the best ones I picked up during my adventures in dicing and slicing, along with tips from a few of my favorite registered dietitians.
1. Put nutritional yeast on everything.
Dare yourself to slip some "nooch" (or hippie Parmesan, as I came to call it) into your meals. This flaky food seasoning has a cheesy taste, so it's a great way to boost flavor in your dishes, especially if you're vegan, vegetarian, or trying to cut back on dairy.
It also offers filling protein (3 grams per 20-calorie tablespoon) and a punch of vitamin B12, which is necessary for preventing anemia and maintaining your energy levels by creating red blood cells, and also helps keep your central nervous system healthy.
"Sprinkle nutritional yeast in hummus, grain dishes, soups, and salads for a delicious umami flavor and a hefty dose of bonus nutrition," Julieanna Hever, M.S., R.D., C.P.T., a plant-based dietitian and author of The Vegiterranean Diet and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition, tells SELF.
Harissa-marinated chicken? Don't mind if we do. "Marinate your chicken, fish, or meat before grilling it or cooking it at high temperatures," The Nutrition Twins, Lyssie Lakatos, R.D.N., C.D.N., C.F.T., and Tammy Lakatos Shames, R.D.N., C.D.N., C.F.T., authors of The Nutrition Twins' Veggie Cure, tell SELF.
It's a great way to add flavor via a low-calorie cooking method instead of relying on frying or dredging food in some sort of batter. And research suggests using a spice-rich marinade may help reduce heterocyclic amines, carcinogens created when you cook meat at high temperatures, The Nutrition Twins explain.

A few days ago I watched the first flight of a gulf fritillary butterfly after it emerged from the chrysalis; I was babysitting it for Nancy and had the fun of watching it emerge. The butterfly took a little while to fly off, flapping and drying its wings before it was ready to fly. Then off it went high up into an oak tree.
We're trying a new zucchini seed this year developed especially for container growing, and the plants are great — giant decorative foliage with abundant zucchini tucked into the center of the bush. The variety is called Astia and is sold by Renee's Garden seeds.
If you need to grow your veggies in pots, this is a nice way to do zucchini.
I'm also getting lots of tomatoes and am trying an experiment this year to freeze the excess crop. I'm blanching them and freezing in glass jars to use next winter.
We're having a heat wave right now with temps well over 100 degrees (it peaked at 108 today), and the plants are looking droopy. People are looking droopy too, lol.
Yesterday Forest Walk was reviewed on EauMG — thanks, Victoria!
A few days ago on Bois de Jasmin, Victoria Frolova posted a beautifully photographed story about her visit to Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands. She captured images of fields of dazzling tulips and hyacinths. Do check it out if you are a garden lover.
In light of the restrictions being placed on fragrance ingredients, including many naturals, it is always nice to see some good press about the effects of natural aromatic ingredients. A component of myrrh has been found to have anti-cancer action, and researchers are studying whether it can be used clinically. Frankincense is also being studied for anti-cancer activity.
Today is the artisan fragrance salon in Seattle. Some of my friends are showing there and I hope it goes well!

The Surround Direction and Base Width Controller Dimensions is a unique 5.1 mastering device that allows the modification of the spatial components of surround program. The device is based on the M/S stereo technology that has been expanded to be used with 5.1 surround sound system Additional, fully parametric EQ bands in the M/s chain enhance to possible modifications while the elliptic equalizers maintain stereo and mono compatibility
Surround Direction and Base Width Controller
DIMENSIONS is a unique mastering tool for 5.1 format surround sound. It is an analog processor designed to regulate the base width and depth of 5.1 format audio so as to increase the apparent width and depth of the mix. With the DIMENSIONS, and M/S based processing is now available for the 5.1 format.
There are separate sections for the control of the Width and the Depth of the program. In addition the Elliptic EQ section allows the modification of the low frequency crosstalk between left and right and front and surround independently. A Matrix section makes it possible to convert a 4 channel surround input signal into 5.1 format.
The unit converts the surround input signal into two M/S signals. The first signal describes the left to right relationship; the second signal describes the front to fear relationship. The operation of this processor has no effect on the LFE channel, and it is not integrated into the regulation, its signal bypasses all the processing elements. However, depending on the operation of the unit, the output matrix can affect the behavior of the LFE channel. In addition, there are three switches, which allow additional manipulation of the signals at the input. FRONT-REVERSE and SRD-REVERSE switches the left channel with the right channel, and the left surround channel with the right surround channel respectively. The DEPTH REVERSE switch switches the left and right front channels with the respective surround channels without affecting the center channel.
The Base and Direction Control
With the WIDTH BASE and DEPTH BASE pots, the width and depth of the program can be independently changed. The regulation values are indicated as a percentage of the original base width and there is an adjustment range of 0% to 200%. With the setting 100% the signal remains unchanged. If the WIDTH BASE pot is turned to the left (the 0% direction), the width is reduced. When placed in the 0% position, the sound field narrows to a single point source. Settings above 100% produce an extended base width, and the sound source can appear to be located beyond the borders of the loudspeakers. The DEPTH BASE operates in the same way as the WIDTH BASE except that it regulates the relationship between the front and the surround channels, (the depth of the sound field).
The WIDTH DIRECTION and DEPTH DIRECTION pots regulate the width and depth of the program (independently of each other). In the C position, there is no change in the program. If the WIDTH DIRECTION pot is turned to the left, the sound source shifts to the left and visa versa. In the extreme left position, the right channel signal is completely shifted to the left channel. Unlike a balance or pan-pot control, (that mutes one side of a signal when it is turned completely to the opposite side), this signal is not just simply muted, but is summed with the signal on the left channel.
The DEPTH DIRECTION operates like the WIDTH-DIRECTION (except that it affects the depth of the program). In this case the signal is moved forwards (position F) to the front monitors, or backwards (position S) to the surround monitors.
The SURROUND-BASE and SURROUND-DIR operate like a normal stereo direction mixer, but only for the surround channels. This process is a part of the spatial direction mixer, and is used to adapt the width and the direction of the surround channels to the front channels, and both pots operate as described above. The BASE pot allows the user to change the width of the signal from 0% (mono) up to 200% of extended base width. The direction pot is used to adjust the surround signal from normal (SC) to mono on the left channel (SL), or to mono on the right channel (SR). This pot is also used for the adaptation of an artificially produced stereo signal from a 4-channel input signal.

For a couple an elopement is intimate, often quiet and laid back. It is romantic and planned out. An oportunity to be just the two of you and in a way, fall in love all over again. For me, it is an honour to be there, to sign the papers and both witness and document a couples pledge to each other. I am witness to all the little details of a relationship, the moments that go unseen at times.
Laura & Alex found me at Most Curious and I spent about half an hour chatting to them. We talked about the importance of photography and documenting all the big and little milestones. A few days later, I got a email from them and we met in the pub to chat about their elopement and make some plans.
When it came to the day itself, they both got ready together, in the first home together, with their cat…who really didn't want to be photographed. We hopped into a beautiful car and drove through London to get to their ceremony. Short and sweet and still emotional, I stood and witnessed their vows to each other. We all signed the legal papers and got back into the car to wander the streets of London and take some photos in celebration. We stopped off for hot chocolate to warm up before heading to the Rosewood to get a little quiet and to let Laura & Alex relax and let the events of the day sink in.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos explains his famous one-character emails, known to strike fear in manager's hearts
Julie Bort
Business Insider April 21, 2018
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos still personally reads customer complaint emails sent to him, even though he doesn't reply to many of them, he said during an on-stage interview on Friday.
Often, he'll forward those emails on to the executives in charge with a single character: a question mark.
The manager who receives the email is then on the hook to drop everything, research the situation, and write a well-crafted response.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a notorious habit of sending his executives an email which has a single character: a question mark.
When the executive gets an email from Bezos that simply says "?" they know that Bezos is concerned about something because a customer complained, Bezos explained during an on-stage interview at the George Bush Presidential Center on Friday.
"I still have an email address customers can write to," Bezos explained. Although he doesn't typically answer those emails himself, he does read them.
"I see most of those emails. I see them and I forward them to the executives in charge of the area with a question mark. It's shorthand [for] can you look into this? Why is this happening?," Bezos said.
Getting such an email is a pretty common thing at Amazon, and it's also big deal. The executive, in turn, will often foward it along to the manager in charge of the area who will view the email with a sinking heart, one of them recently told us.
That's because the manager is then on the hook to drop everything, investigate and get back with an answer. Sometimes that means a lot of research over nights and weekends, the Amazon manager recently told us.
But Bezos views that email address, jeff@amazon.com, as a way to stay close to customers, which can otherwise be hard to do as an executive, who is far removed from day-to-day customer service and sees the company mostly through data and reports.
"We have tons of metrics," Bezos explained on stage. "When you are shipping billions of packages a year, you need good data and metrics: are you delivering on time? Delivering on time to every city? To apartment complexes? ... Whether the packages have too much air in them, wasteful packaging."
So those customer complaints gives him front-line insights. If all of his data say one thing and a few customers say something else, he believes the customers.
"The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it," he explained.
This is one of the ways Bezos expresses what he calls one of Amazon's most important values: customer obsession.
"We talk about it, customer obsession, as opposed to competitor obsession," he said. Often companies say they are focused on customers but they really spend most of their energy reacting to and talking about competitors.
"If your whole culture is competitor-obsessed, it's hard to stay motivated if you are out in front. Whereas customers are also unsatisfied, always discontent, always want more. So no matter how far in front you get in front of competitors, you are still behind your customers. They are always pulling you along," he said.

Nichijou-kei stories have became a favourite for anime fans recently. As Tanaka (2014) noted, the popularity this genre started when Azumanga Daioh was aired in 2002, and became more popular by the years after K-ON! started airing in 2009 and many anime has followed this formula until now. The lighter tone from the characters, story, and other elements, makes this genre enjoyable for those who wants something cozy to relax from their exhausting daily life.
Endro~! might be set in a fantasy setting where RPG mechanics are present, but the series has not displayed any traits found in other adventure fantasy series. Instead, Endro~! focuses on Yusha and her friends' blissful everyday lives as they train for the eventual challenge of defeating the Demon Lord. The slice-of-life antics become the main drive in this anime, with the end result being a fluffy and humourous series that, despite drawing so many elements from well-established genres, manages to come across as being quite original and exciting to watch.
Despite having a fantasy RPG setting, Endro~! feels like a typical nichijou-kei anime that can make you smile because of every Yusha and her friends' antics. The story, art, and music aren't really jaw-dropping but at least it will loosen tension from your daily life or as a side to your main anime to watch.

Four points out of six is good return for West Ham

West Ham's venture into south Wales yielded a very valuable point; it was a performance full of grit, determination and stoic defending.
It wasn't a classic; 0-0 draws seldom are and yes West Ham once again assumed their position as the last fixture on Match of the day; but if asked at the start of a triumvirate of difficult games (Spurs away, City home and Swansea away) whether four points would suffice one suspects most fans would've graciously accepted.
West Ham's performance at the Liberty was the hallmark of a side drilled and battle-hardened all week by Sam Allardyce. The 4-6-0 which worked so well at White Hart Lane and not so well at home against Man City once again caused the opposition problems.
For all the Swans slick passing and clever movement, they never genuinely looked like penetrating West Ham's defensive block. It was the type of performance that they simply wouldn't have been capable of under previous regimes; but Big Sam's Irons are made of sterner stuff.
Though however wonderful West Ham were at restricting the opposition; they failed to take a number of chances they created - Guy Demel in particular wasting two amazing opportunities to seal all three points for the Cockney boys.
The Hammers simply look toothless in attack without Andy Carroll. one suspects when he is finally added to this side the team will be capable of going to places like the Liberty and nicking a win, but until then, a draw is perhaps the best they can hope for.
Carlton Cole, making his 2nd debut for the club was a welcome sight, without the aforementioned Carroll, Carlton is without a doubt the club's best option up front.
The upcoming game against Aston Villa at the Boleyn will surely see Carlton start as the game is a must win and whilst the 4-6-0 seems to be working away from home, on the hallowed turf of the Boleyn where the onus is on the home side to break the opposition down; the formation doesn't appear to give the side the impetus needed to put teams on the back-foot.
West Ham only lost four home games the entirety of last season...this season they've already lost three.
The big problem has been scoring goals and though this team was moulded and shaped by big Sam to get the maximum out of Andy Carroll, the torch must pass for now back to his predecessor Carlton Cole.
West Ham boxed clever against Swansea, but they must go for the knockout against Villa.

Good Morning! In today's Blog, we consider the President's visit to address the fiscal, legal, physical, and human challenges to Puerto Rico.
Physical & Fiscal Mayhem. President Trump, visited Puerto Rico yesterday (nearly two weeks after Hurricane Maria, only 6.89% of the island has electricity, 22.54% of the telecommunications towers operate, 24% of the commercial flights operate, while the water and gas distribution problems persist in means of enormous damage to infrastructure. More than 9,000 people still live in shelters, according to official figures.). The President suggested the removal of Puerto Rico's large debt so that Puerto Rico can to respond, short and long-term, to the emergency: "We have to work on something," albeit adding Puerto Rico should be proud that only 16 died, unlike what he deemed "the real catastrophe" of Katrina. The devastating hurricane left some $90 billion in damage—on top of the $74 billion in debt Puerto Rico and the PROMESA Board (relocated to New York City) are confronting. The President added: "You have to look at the whole structure of the debt‒you owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street, and we'll have to eliminate that. We'll have to say good-by to that. I do not know if it's Goldman-Sachs, but whoever it is, you can say goodbye to that. We will have to do something, because the island's debt is huge." The President's remarks, however, coming as the PROMESA Board was meeting in New York City, created a question with regard to his intentions: did he mean the Administration is contemplating forgiving its debts? If so, what would that mean to the territory's bondholders? Moreover, it is unclear whether the President even has such authority.
President Trump has called for Puerto Rico to have its crippling debt forgiven, describing the potential precedent as tough luck for the Wall Street holders of the debt, telling Fox New's Geraldo Rivera: "They owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street, and we're going to have to wipe that out," with his comments coming in the wake of considerable political heat for one of his earliest tweets on Hurricane Maria, in which he had written that Puerto Rico was already suffering because of its huge debt burden, which liberals interpreted as blaming the victim.
He predicted that Puerto Rico could lose up to two months' of tax collections, even as the government lacks resources to finance essential services and other government operations—likely leading to seeking critical assistance from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury—requests, however, already, unsurprisingly, opposed by the territory's existing creditors, who are battling the PROMESA Board for payments on $73 billion in municipal-bond debt—or, as ACG Analytics has noted: a U.S. loan package "would, presumably, be structured to have priority" over payments to current bondholders.
The White House did, this week, act to ease the potential liquidity squeeze, waiving certain cost-sharing requirements for six months. Meanwhile, PREPA creditors offered $1 billion in new loans this week to jump-start rebuilding efforts, an offer which Gov. Rosselló's fiscal advisers rejected as "not viable." In Congress, meanwhile, no immediate action appears likely: Congressional leaders anticipate passing a second disaster aid package later this year with more specific directives with regard to how federal dollars sent to Puerto Rico should be spent, even as the Trump administration, facing criticism for its response to Hurricane Maria, has installed a U.S. Army commander to oversee federal relief efforts, and the PROMESA oversight Board has said Puerto Rico can afford to pay bondholders roughly a quarter of what they are owed over the next decade. While the Treasury Department had considered the option of authorizing so-called "super municipal bonds," the concept found little support in Congress, where there is antipathy about setting any precedents for federal bailouts of financially struggling municipalities.

Our siding replacement and installation process is part of building what's known in architecture as "the building envelope." A building's envelope is what it sounds like: the physical layer separating the outside from the inside.
Your home's energy efficiency, insulation from weather or protection from pests, and of course, its exterior style – begin and end with the envelope.
The work we do focuses entirely on making the home's envelope as strong, smart, and aesthetic as possible. While every component contributes to the quality of the envelope, it's the siding that plays the biggest role.
EvoSiding has its roots in the PNW. Which means one thing for the envelopes we build, they've got to be designed to handle our climate. For us, that means two things: The siding has to be installed precisely, and it's got to be of high enough quality to last as long as our work will.
All homes need and use siding (or an equivalent) to partition themselves from their environment. But where homes in other climates likely have the luxury of drier conditions and less moisture to worry about, homes in great wet North can't afford an envelope that allows permeability – and it definitely can't afford an all-out failure.
Though it's one of the last things to go on your home during installation, siding is first in line when it comes to holding up to the outdoors. Of course your windows, roof, doors and other components must all do their part, but your siding presents the biggest challenge because of the potential for numerous (and hidden) failure points.
Providing homes with unbreachable siding isn't as straightforward as it may seem. There's a lot at play against your home at any given time, and your siding is the primary armor going against it.
Interestingly, the same material used for certain envelopes, are also used for the moisture and weather protection that goes beneath siding. The underlayment, is a layer of added protection to your home's siding. Its job is to form as close to an airtight seal of your home's insulation as possible, which is what makes true energy efficiency possible while also protecting your home's frame and foundation.
Most are surprised to learn that nearly half of a home's heat may be lost through the walls. Siding and insulation installed properly makes sure heat loss is minimized.
Siding's main opposition is moisture. In the Pacific Northwest, your underlayment works double time to make sure weather doesn't penetrate through and weaken the structure of your home.
The combination of your siding and underlayment make up a big portion of the entirety of your home's exterior protection.
Taken with the other components – doors, windows, roof – your home's envelope can be rated on its overall effectiveness at keeping your home comfortable and efficient.
Every piece of the system comes with a unique rating that, when taken together, can add up to a number that provides a quantifiable measure of your home's exterior quality.
Our goal at EvoSiding is to get every home we work on to get the highest score possible.
Interested in learning how your home can improve its exterior quality score? We're always happy to chat. To take your home's report card from average to excellent, get in touch today.

iRobot issues warning for select Roomba i7+ docking stations over potential short circuiting
Brian Heater	@bheater / 1 year
Robotic vacuum giant iRobot this week sent warnings to select owners of the Roomba i7+, noting that the Clean Base docking station has the potential to malfunction and short circuit. According to iRobot, concern stems from "very rare cases," wherein liquids are deposited into the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal unit.
"We learned that certain Roomba i7+ Clean Base docking stations could malfunction and potentially present a hazard if liquids are collected by the Roomba i7+ robot vacuum and deposited into the Clean Base unit," the company said in a statement to TechCrunch. "Our vacuums are only designed for cleaning up dirt and debris from dry floors and carpets and should never be used to pick up any liquids."
The company believes around 222,000 units are potentially impacted by the issue. Of that number, the vast majority (around 210,000) were sold in North America. Emails and app notifications have been sent to users, alerting them of the problem. The company will send a replacement power cord or docking station to those with affected serial numbers.
The i7+ was released in 2018. The system sports some key advancements in mapping smarts, along with the impacted docking, which automatically cleans the Roomba's on-board bin.

REVIEW: Morgan James – Reckless Abandon
She's a New York singer who's done the Broadway thing, and she has a new album out. Her name is Morgan James and the album is the first one she's done as an independent artist, titled Reckless Abandon. I stumbled across her stunning vocals one evening while binging on Postmodern Jukebox videos (including an orchestral version of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" which 30,561 people have granted the thumb of approval). I had the distinct pleasure of listening to Reckless Abandon on a rainy morning.
The album begins with a blast of horns, troubadours announcing a majestic arrival. "Up in Smoke" is energizing like a complicated liquefied beverage. It prepares you for an album of impressive vocal range and funky rhythms. The next track, "Unworthy," features vocals with a pop of modernity over a synth beat. It feels light, like really nice mosquito netting. The lyrics poke at that slumbering beast that rouses from time to time to niggle you with doubt, but the beat protects you from anything that beast could drowsily snarl at you. This track is a prophylactic.
In "By My Side," Morgan's voice flits, floats, spirals, and swoops. Like someone with poor circulation acquiescing to the steamy solidness of a hot beverage between their cold cupped hands, she sings the highs artfully and dips into the lows with comforting certainty. Meanwhile, the beat brings to mind brick surfaces and bouncing basketballs. "By My Side" communicates a meme that appears universally in the human experience, "I don't need to run / I don't need to hide / Because I've got you by my side."
"Lifted" starts with a smooth beat. Morgan comes in, singing in the second person about being "lifted," and she taps into the magic inherent in the four-syllable word with nice use of elevator and detonator. The vocals are belted in such a way I wonder how much effort it would take for Morgan to break glass with her voice. Hours and even days after the first listen, the song reverberates in my mind as I pedal on two wheels past the factories, breweries, and iglesias of South Charlotte.
As if offering a rope to someone hanging on the edge of a cliff, in "Making up for Lost Love" Morgan lets out the lyrics bit by bit in smooth vocals. The more intimate vocal style contrasts with the let-it-all-hang-out style of "Lifted," urging the listener to lean in and pay attention. Then comes the show stopper. "Ransom" is slow and dripping with soul. The track moves along slowly but surely, with piano and gentle percussion behind Morgan's expressive – and impressive – vocals. Her voice paints a picture as she produces the words, "I paid / I paid / I paid / But you killed me anyway." If this is how she sings when she's feeling down, I wonder what magical heights her vocal muscles can reach when she's feeling good. As the song winds up before winding down, Morgan's voice builds gradually, from the depths (sullen and thick) to a bone-chillingly [in a good way] awesome performance. With just "Ransom" alone, Morgan James has achieved the sort of mind-brain connection that Soviet villains in old movies might have attempted with technology (and montage).
If "Ransom" was the sandwich, "Jenny" would be the pickle: triangular and somewhat discordant with the previous track, but on its own, a good song. Morgan's vocals are flawless as she delivers the saga of a woman who has always been "out of reach." The songwriting on this track is impeccable; I do not doubt that Morgan could make it in any genre she chose. The vocal artistry that blues and soul permit provide the perfect home for Morgan, and "Jenny" is evidence. "No Faith" marches the album determinedly forward, with vocals progressing from singular to multitudinous as the lyrics distance Morgan from paired to singledom. The further she gets from that relationship, the stronger she becomes. That's equilibrium for you.

As "Pity" begins, the emotion imbued in the first words is so complex, you just have to keep listening. The song simmers like julienned vegetables bobbing in steaming salted water. Keep it going too long, you'll end up with mushy vegetables. But done just right, and the result is perfection. Morgan's vegetables are definitely not mushy. She uses half steps to pull at the heartstrings and engage the auditory cortex. A brief break with sultry brass adds a layer of ambiance to the tune. Just knowing that some truly loud and fantastic vocals are within reach but never used gives "Pity" a quiet power, like a stained wood accent wall.
"You Thought Not" is the kind of song you sing forcefully while wearing the pants that are so old and out of fashion the only time you wear them outdoors is to take the trash out. The song begins with a slow beat and gentle contemplative mood-setting notes. The lyrics look back on a day when the sun shone bright but left Morgan feeling sunburnt. (It happens when you least anticipate prolonged exposure to harmful rays.) "We used to be a good time / You took me for a long ride / I thought about forever / I thought we had a shot," she sings, distancing herself grammatically from a partnership that went sour with every sighed word. The song ends with backing vocals that hold so much power, they breathe life into the song, like a serendipitous tailwind breathing life into flagging sails.
A beat with the clean simplicity of machine wash clothing laid over simple chords provides the backdrop for Morgan to bare her restless soul In "Need Somebody." Like a python digesting a small mammal, the vocals stretch, expand, and retract in a beautiful dance between the verses and chorus. With vocals like these, no matter what she needs, surely nothing is out of reach for Morgan James. The album ends with the title track. The first bars of "Reckless Abandon" are pure fun, like the pop of pomegranate seeds on an August afternoon and going out in shoes that you know will hurt your feet but that's beside the point. The vocals are luscious and then they are more luscious, joined by the horns for a big blue bang. This is a song made for flouncing. They could sell yogurt with this song. Yogurt: perhaps the most complicated of the dairy products to shill in this country.
Reckless Abandon, as an album, is a masterpiece of vocals as perfected as the firing in a Lamborghini's cylinders and songwriting as sweet and well-crafted as an artisanal doughnut. "Ransom" is the standout on the album; it is brimming with introspection and features that magical marriage of superhuman vocals and astute songwriting that so many seek but so few attain. Morgan James is a hardworking woman with talent that can span the genres, the ages, and the tastes that make all us music lovers such diverse and discerning listeners. Hear her music, see her live, witness something sublime.

T minus 4 weeks! Can you believe it? Can you believe that back to school is around the corner? Summer is once again flying by and before you know it, (if you haven't already), it will be time to make that list of all the things your children need going back to school.

Johnson, Griggs head to Dallas mayoral runoff election
By Amee LaTour
In Local
On May 4, State Rep. Eric Johnson (D) and Dallas City Councilman Scott Griggs advanced to a June 8 mayoral runoff election in Dallas, Texas. Johnson received 20.3 percent of the vote to Griggs' 18.5 percent. A runoff will be held as no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote.
Johnson and Griggs were among nine candidates on the general election ballot for Dallas mayor. The seat is open, as incumbent Mike Rawlings (D) is prevented by term limits from seeking re-election. He was first elected in 2011.
The next highest vote-getters on Saturday were nonprofit CEO Lynn McBee and real estate developer Mike Ablon with 14 and 13.5 percent, respectively.
Griggs has been on the city council since 2011, and Johnson has been in the state House since 2010. They were among four candidates in the race who have served elected office.
Dallas is the ninth-largest city in the U.S. by population. It uses a council-manager system, in which the mayor serves on the city council. The council and mayor appoint a city manager to oversee day-to-day municipal operations and implement the council's policy and legislative initiatives. The mayor of Dallas does not have veto power but appoints city council committee members and chairs, determines what policy-related agenda items will be considered by the council, and makes policy and budget recommendations.
Dallas also held elections for all 14 city council seats Saturday.
