Representative Katrina Jackson
Ask anyone who knew Katrina R. Jackson at age 3 and they could tell you one thing – she was going to be a lawyer and fight for people. And that is just what she does as both an attorney and a State Representative representing Morehouse and Ouachita Parishes in the Louisiana Legislature. She is currently running for Senate, to expand her advocacy as a Whole Life Democrat and advocate for life from the "womb to the tomb."
Katrina was born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Welton and Patricia Holman and Mr. and Mrs. Walter and Linda Jackson.
As a young child, her parents' friends would comment on her inquisitive mind and her friends loved that when they got in trouble, Katrina was always there to stick up for them, even if it landed her in hot water as well. Her mother's mantra that she should always fight for what she believed in, even when others disagreed, because the fight was worth it sticks with her today.
Katina graduated from the University of Louisiana at Monroe where she majored in Pre-Law and Legal Studies. Her commitment to an aspiring career in the legal profession led her to receive her Juris Doctorate from Southern University in Baton Rouge in 2004.
Katrina has been blessed with many mentors in her life, they all shine through in the path she has chosen. From family members that taught her about etiquette and gave her a fighting spirit; to teachers who prepared her for life beyond the classroom, and legal and political minds that taught her life lessons about separating good people from bad ideas.
One force that can't be denied is her love and devotion to her Lord, Jesus Christ. She was brought up in the Christian faith, and accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of her life at an early age and has continued to grow her faith. During law school she began; to study the Word more rigorously. She always knew that God should be acknowledged in all areas of her life, but during her law school years she was away from home for the first time and learned to depend on Him more. It was then that her personal relationship with God became stronger through more time in the Word and in midweek church services. She knows she is an imperfect person doing all she can to submit to the will of God daily in all areas of her life.
Armed with her law degree and several years of mentoring from attorney and former State Representative Willie Hunter, Jr., Katrina came to the Louisiana Legislature in 2006 as a Staff Attorney for the House Committee on Labor & Industrial Relations and as Executive Director of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus. Her exposure to the issues the legislature faced; and the leaders crafting solutions; and fighting for people gave her new insights and opened new doors for her.

Beneath the Dock Leaf
Pat Byrne
Superstitions have always held a core place in Irish culture, but as time progresses, the mischievous and malevolent spirits that once occupied the spoken word and imagination are being forgotten, only to be seen as figures of parody.
Pat's practice explores superstitions and folklore. He takes mythological humanoids and fairies and attempts to portray them in a more realistic and contemporary fashion, rendering them as someone who could possibly pass us by on the street, giving
them invisibility through their normality.

Síoraí: Visualising James Fintan Lalor's Words Today
(Watch the video trailor for the film screening on Saturday here .)
Has nothing changed in Government in over 160 years?
James Fintan Lalor declared the Government of 1847 to be 'Null and Void of Moral Effect'. A New Exhibition of Paintings asks, 'What's Changed?'
Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaoise, 7pm, 3rd October 2014 – Robert Ballagh, Aosdána, will formally open Brendon Deacy's new exhibition inspired by the words of James Fintan Lalor.
Laois native, James Fintan Lalor (1807–1849) dedicated his life to lobbying on behalf of those who were too downtrodden to speak for themselves and had a profound effect on Irish political developments. Pádraig Pearse called him 'one of the four evangelists of Irish freedom'. With austerity, the homelessness crisis & mass emigration still prevalent today, a new exhibition of Lalor-inspired paintings puts the spotlight on over 160 years of Government and asks the stinging question: has anything changed?
The artist responsible, Brendon Deacy, was commissioned by Laois County Council to produce an exhibition as part of the James Fintan Lalor School 2014. His series of iconic paintings revitalise Lalor's words with images of contemporary Ireland. The exhibition runs from 3rd October to 8th November and is accompanied by a newspaper, designed in the style of the publications that Lalor contributed to, that is enriched by incisive commentaries by the likes of Robert Ballagh, Clare Short, Ken Loach, Seán Fleming TD, Mick Heaney, Martin Doyle, Sr Stanislaus Kennedy, Jim O'Brien & Teddy Fennelly. The newspaper will be available at the exhibition opening and a digital version can be seen and downloaded at: http://www.newspaperclub.com/brendondeacy/wy4aps75-siorai
A short film about the making of the exhibition which features Kevin Lalor Fitzpatrick & Robert Ballagh will close the James Fintan Lalor School 2014 at 3pm, 18th October.
Brendon Deacy is a Laois artist who has published two critically acclaimed artist's books, 'The State We're Out' and 'A Life in Relief'. Many notable public collections hold his work. 'Síoraí: Visualising the Words of James Fintan Lalor Today' is his seventeenth solo show. He was recently commissioned to make images in response to a series of short stories by prominent writers on the theme of 'This Means War' that were published weekly in The Irish Times. He teaches at NCAD and has been a visiting tutor to the Universities of Anadolu (Turkey), Birmingham, Helsinki, San Diego and the Royal College of Art.

At the Behest of the Dead by Timothy W Long
An okay start to a new urban fantasy series.
At the Behest of the Dead by Timothy W. Long is a solid urban fantasy, not the best I've read, but far from the worst. If you like the Dresden Files, Iron Druid Chronicles, or the Demon Squad series, you will probably find some enjoyment with this story.
The story follows Phineas Cavanaugh, a necromancer who makes a living working as a supernatural private investigator (big Dresden vibe here). Being a necromancer gives Cavanaugh the type of edge that other PI's and law enforcers could only dream of. Cavanaugh is hired to solve a run-of-the-mill murder, but things go from normal to bad to worse as dark forces come in to play. The threads of this investigation run deep, all the way down to Hell, and the consequences of failure will likely be catastrophic.
Long delivers a complex and intricate story here, and I really enjoyed how it played out. The plotting was often murky and at times it was hard to keep track of where I was and what was happening, but there was always something interesting going on. The ending was pretty cool, and I can see that Long has really set things up for a lengthy episodic series.
The style of writing is very much a hard-boiled detective, with a few noir influences and some snarky humour. The detective and noir stuff is pretty good, but the snarky humour rarely connected for me. It felt too... vanilla? Maybe it's just that other urban fantasy books have trained me to only laugh at the outrageous and the offensive. The world building and magic were great, and Long obviously put a lot of time into crafting these elements. The individual elements aren't all that original, but Long combines them effectively to craft out his own distinct stuff.
Where this story fell down for me was the characters. I found it hard to connect with Phineas and his plight, and I found it hard to differentiate between the rest of the characters. This is kind of exacerbated by the large amount of dialogue that is used - during the rapid fire exchanges I just couldn't tell who Phineas was talking to. It's a shame, I can see that Long has gone to a lot of effort crafting his characters, and I really wanted to like them, but I would be lying if I said that I did.
At the Behest of the Dead is an okay start to a new series. There are a number of issues, but there is also plenty to like. By the end the book the author had really found his feet, and I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that the next book will be a lot better.

Dodge vs Ford! Place Your BETS & ENJOY The DIESEL POWER!
I`m sure that some of you have recognized right away the Prodigy`s lyrics when you have read the title, which we have borrowed in order to describe the following video clip more authentically, in which the legendary truck rivalry between Ford and Dodge, the Dodge vs Ford saga is taking place. Because here we have three diesel monsters, battling each other and making some insanely cool snow donuts, in a way that you do not have a chance to see that often.
This `hot battle` between those awesome, powerful and mighty trucks, 2011 Ford F-350, 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 and what it looks like a GMC Duramax, is happening in a place where there is most definitely no shortage of snow. So their owners had come up with a pretty original idea of pulling battle, by chaining those monsters hard on the rear. With powerful motors under the hood which are generating 600 HP each, I do not think that they could have come up with a better plan to have a great time.
Even though the battle is pretty intense, it appears as if that great Ford F-350 is overpowering the Dodge Ram 3500, and later on when Dodge and Duramax start their own battle, things take on a different course. Anyway, check out the Dodge vs Ford tug of war!


Defence partners last season at the Saddledome, these guys are trending in opposite directions. Giordano, now skating alongside TJ Brodie on Calgary's top duo, is a Norris Trophy frontrunner, and rightfully so. The 35-year-old has racked up 52 points already — heading into Monday's late action, that was tied for best among all blue-liners — and leads the league with a plus-30 rating. The 25-year-old Hamilton, meanwhile, hasn't been nearly as productive as he settles in Carolina. He was the NHL's most dangerous defenceman with 17 goals last winter but has managed just six markers and 10 assists in 48 outings with the Hurricanes so far and his name is once again being mentioned in the rumour mill.
There should be plenty of money on both boards for Tuesday's hey-how-ya-doing? Calgary's bench boss, Bill Peters, coached the Hurricanes for the past four seasons, while three of his lineup regulars — forwards Elias Lindholm and Derek Ryan and blue-liner Noah Hanifin — also relocated from Raleigh this past summer. On the opposite side, smooth-skating defenceman Dougie Hamilton and hard-hitting forward Micheal Ferland are facing their former teammates for the first time since being traded away by the Flames in exchange for Lindholm and Hanifin.
Tuesday's combatants combined to make it a miserable weekend for hockey fans in Edmonton. The Flames prevailed in Saturday's Battle of Alberta, with captain Mark Giordano piling up three points — and keeping Connor McDavid off the scoresheet — en route to a 5-2 victory at Rogers Place. The next night, recent trade arrival Nino Niederreiter scored twice for his new squad to spur the Hurricanes to a 7-4 win over the Oilers.
"I sure hope so." That was the reply from Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour when asked if Ferland would be green-lighted to face his old friends. The 26-year-old bruiser was a late scratch in Edmonton due a cranky back, but he was a full participant in Monday's practice and you know he would hate to miss this one. With his unique mix of skill and wallop, Ferland has 13 goals and 117 hits so far this season.
After Tuesday's tilt at the Saddledome, the boys will split for their beach vacations or whatever else they have planned for the NHL's all-star break and then the CBA-mandated bye. All told, the Flames will be away from the rink for eight straight days. Fans of the Western Conference-leading club will keep their fingers crossed that they don't cool off — they've been on a remarkable roll, with a 10-1-2 record since Christmas.
Flames superstar Johnny Gaudreau is riding a career-high 11-game point streak, with 10 goals and 13 assists during his recent rip … The Hurricanes completed some significant paperwork Monday, with right-winger Teuvo Teravainen putting his signature on a five-year contract extension with an annual cap-hit of US$5.4 million. The 24-year-old Teravainen ranks second on his team with 38 points so far this season.


We all learn in different ways. For some, it's a passive thing, soaking up information as it's presented, for others, it means learning by doing, and for a third group, it's a matter of taking the plunge and throwing themselves into the deep end. For Master of Management (Marketing) alumna Thanchanok Choochart, it was the latter.
Thanchanok Choochart completed her undergraduate studies at Thammasat University, Thailand, where she majored in economics. Upon her graduation, she joined Phatra Securities, a prominent Thai investment firm, as a Customer Service Assistant. One year on, she decided it was time for a change of direction.
With a desire to hone her English skills, Thanchanok cast her gaze abroad, exploring study options in the United States, UK, and Australia.
Thanchanok came to Australia eager to immerse herself in all the country had to offer, travelling up and down the east coast, experiencing Australia's capital cities, environment, and wildlife.
The transition to living and studying in Melbourne came with challenges as well, but Thanchanok says she found the University of Melbourne really supportive.


No hesitation to jump on the preparation of this salad: from the moment I saw the post at Fer's site to enjoying it as our dinner only 20 hours elapsed. Keep in mind that most recipes sit on my "to make soon" folder for months, not hours. Some have been waiting there for a decade! The protein quotient of this salad was increased by the addition of seared scallops on top, with a delicate drizzle of this amazing dressing. One word: awesome.
Simmer orange juice in a small saucepan until syrupy and reduced to about 2 Tbsp. It should take a little over 5 minutes. Let cool.
Roast jalapeño directly over a gas flame, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides. Let cool; remove stem, skin, and seeds, then finely chop.
Whisk shallot, vinegar, reduced orange juice, and the jalapeño in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in vegetable oil, then olive oil. Set vinaigrette aside.
Toss avocados, orange segments, salad greens, and vinaigrette in a bowl. Serve with seared scallops on top, if so desired.
Comments: You might be tempted to use store-bought orange juice for the dressing, but fresh is best, since it will be concentrated by cooking. Also, I wimped out and used only half the jalapeño, but it would be even better with the whole pepper. Go for it and you won't be disappointed. What a great twist the charring of the jalapeno! I do that all the time with bell peppers, but had never seen a recipe applying the same treatment to a much smaller (and hotter) pepper.
Make the gremolata by combining the cilantro, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the peas. Cook until peas are tender. Remove from heat and drain peas, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Combine peas, ginger, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and cayenne in bowl of food processor. Purée until smooth. Add some of the reserved water (approximately 1/4 cup) to thin to desired consistency; the purée should not be too thin. Discard remaining water. Transfer purée to a bowl and keep warm. Pat scallops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Add a sprinkle of Mycryo right before cooking. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the scallops, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining scallops. No need to add any oil to the pan, just the sprinkle of Mycryo will be enough.
To assemble, spoon pea purée on serving plates. Top with scallops. Sprinkle scallops and purée with gremolata. Serve immediately.
Comments: Mycryo is a great product with a poorly chosen name, if you ask me. The word – Mycryo – makes me think of tears, sadness, despair. But that could not be farther from the truth: they gave sea scallops THE most perfect brown ever, even though they were prepared in THE most rudimentary cooking conditions available to a cook (the Drama Queen says hello). I even conducted a small experiment by preparing two batches of sea scallops. One cost a small fortune, they were the ultra-special, huge dry sea scallops. The other was a frozen type that while thawing released a gallon of white milky liquid. No bueno. With a light sprinkle of Mycryo (and no oil added to the non-stick pan), all scallops browned like a Brazilian under the tropical sun! We could not tell the difference in texture or taste between the two types, which was quite amazing to me. Great product! You can order here, they shipped very quickly, contrary to what I heard from customers who got it through amazon.com.
The pea puree competed heavily with the scallops to win the spotlight of this meal. Bright flavor with the ginger and just a slight heat from the cayenne. Lynda really came up with a perfectly balanced side dish.
I close this post with a little snapshot of our laundry room. In one side we installed the induction cooktop + microwave. On the other side, where we do have a large sink, we stuffed together the coffee machine, coffee grinder, and our beloved Penguin Sodastream. It's cozy in there, folks. Cozy.
Ideally, my Wednesday special meal will catch Phil by complete surprise, but this time he had been snooping around the depths of our fridge. Just as I was getting ready to cook dinner, he asked me with a big smile "we're having scallops tonight for dinner, aren't we?". Bummer. Just could not get him this time.
I had the inspiration for this meal when I brought home a couple of heirloom tomatoes, and was blown away by how juicy and delicious they were. I went right back to the store and bought some more. They turned into a fantastic sauce, paired with leeks and a thinly sliced fennel bulb. Scallops crowned the meal with their touch of class, always welcome. Another Wednesday evening made ultra-special!
Boil the water to cook the pasta.
Core the tomatoes and cut them in large chunks, but don't seed them. Reserve.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, then saute the leeks and the sliced fennel for about 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. When they are soft and starting to get some golden color, add the tomatoes and half the orange zest. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to melt and release a lot of juice. Cover the pan, and keep at a simmer.
Cook the pasta, and when it's 5 minutes from being ready, heat a non-stick skillet on high heat, add olive oil just to coat the surface lightly. Pat the scallops dry, season lightly with salt, pepper and ground fennel, and sear them, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Reserve some of the pasta water, drain the pasta and add to the tomato/fennel pan, increase the heat slightly, and let the pasta and the sauce cook for a minute or so together. If needed, add some of the pasta water to the sauce. Add the remaining orange zest, the scallops on top, and sprinkle with minced fennel fronds right before serving.
If you make this dish with "regular" tomatoes, it simply won't be the same, so try to find these funky looking babies, they are superb, particularly the brown ones. We could not get over the flavor of this dish, so few ingredients, but they work together beautifully, and the scallops (make sure you get a nice sear on the outside) are not overpowered by the sauce.
Normally I reserve the pasta water to adjust the consistency of a pan sauce, but in this case it was not necessary to add any. The tomatoes did their job providing all the moisture to coat the pasta strands.
If you don't like scallops, shrimp could be a good option, or chicken breast filets. If you want to keep it vegan, maybe grilled tofu could work too. But don't mess with the heirloom tomatoes!
Put a large pot of salted water to boil. Pat the scallops dry, and place them over paper towels to make sure any excess moisture is blotted out. Reserve.
On a medium size skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the shallots, seasoning lightly with salt and black pepper. When they are soft and getting a light color, add the orange zest. Saute for 1 minute, turn the heat off and close the pan.
Start cooking the black spaghetti, the amount you would normally make for you and your lucky partner. Depending on the thickness of the pasta and the brand, it should take about 8 minutes. While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet on high heat, add a smidgen of olive oil, and once the oil is very hot, pat dry the scallops once more, season them with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of sugar. Sear the scallops about 2 minutes per side, making sure the pan is not too crowded. Don't touch them as they cook, they will release from the pan once a nice golden crust is formed. Reserve (or place in a very low oven – 200 F) to keep them warm).
As the scallops cook, finish the sauce. Heat the orange/shallot mixture, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream, season with a dash of nutmeg. Add 1/8 cup of orange juice and warm the sauce swirling the pan gently over medium low heat.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove a small amount of the cooking liquid, add the pasta to the orange-cream sauce, add some of the pasta water if necessary to thin the sauce. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish, and serve with the cooked scallops on top.
Comments: Black pasta is made by incorporating squid ink in the dough, so I like to serve it with seafood. It can be a bit tricky to pair with a sauce, but I opted for a mild, creamy sauce with a citric component. It worked very well.
Cooking scallops can be intimidating, they are expensive and easy to mess up. A few seconds longer in the pan, and their delicate texture is ruined. Dorie Greenspan, in her book "Around my French Table," offers a great take on scallops, with a sauce that was born to embrace them.
First, make the sauce. Mix the orange juice and white wine in a small bowl and reserve. Sprinkle the sugar into a small saucepan (see my comments on the type of pan I like to use for this). Place the pan over medium-high heat and warm the sugar until it starts to melt and color. As soon as you see the caramel in the pan turning brown, begin to gently swirl the pan. About 3 minutes into the cooking time, when the sugar is deep caramel in color, stand back and add the orange/wine mixture. It will bubble and spatter, just keep stirring with a wooden spoon, and boil until the sauce is reduced by half — you should have about 1/3 cup. Pull the pan from the heat and set it aside. If not using the sauce immediately, you can keep it for a couple of days in the fridge.
Pat the scallops dry between two paper towels. Put the saucepan with the caramel sauce over very low heat so that it can warm while you cook the scallops.
Put a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1 tsp olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the scallops, season them with salt and pepper, add a little more oil if needed, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are firm on the outside and just barely opaque in the center. Transfer the scallops to a serving platter.
Check that the caramel sauce is hot, remove the pan from the heat and toss in the butter, bit by bit, swirling the pan until the butter is melted and the sauce is glistening. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then drizzle some over the scallops, serving additional sauce at the table.
To make the sauce, my favorite pan is this cute little red skillet from Bialetti. I bought it when we were in Los Angeles because our electric cooking stovetop was so tiny, I had no pan that would fit nicely on it. Since the pan is white, it's very easy to see the caramel color, no need to guess or transfer a small amount to a white plate.
I strongly advise you to make a double batch of the sauce, I never seem to have enough, it's so delicious! It would go well on shrimp, and even chicken breasts or pork tenderloin. Slightly sweet, slightly sour, feels complex even though it is made with only a few ingredients.

Gwen Stefani To Headline Opening Night At The Hollywood Bowl
Pop superstar Gwen Stefani has confirmed that she will headline at the Hollywood Bowl's opening night on June 3.
The iconic Hollywood Bowl had last month revealed a star-studded lineup for its 100th season, which will feature performances from Diana Ross, Billie Eilish, The Roots, Duran Duran, Ricky Martin, Grace Jones and more.
The Hollywood Bowl season is scheduled to run from June 11 through September 29. The full list of shows can be obtained from the Hollywood Bowl website.
The opening night, which will be a benefit for Los Angeles Philharmonic's learning and community programs, will also feature music and artistic director Gustavo Dudamel, the L.A. Phil's Youth Orchestra Los Angeles and special performances from ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, saxophonist Branford Marsalis and dancing sisters Let It Happen.
In June, the Hollywood Bowl will host shows with Sheryl Crow, John Fogerty, Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina, CHVRCHES, Boyz II Men, TLC, Pentatonix, a-ha, A.R. Rahman and more.
The venue will also feature a tribute to Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra with special guests Billie Eilish, Debbie Harry, Diane Reeves and Brian Stokes Mitchell.


Hollywood heavyweight Keanu Reeves began Arch Motorcycles in 2015 with a muscle cruiser and now he's adding a sports bike.
But hold on to your wallet for a moment. The KRGT-1 muscle cruiser cost from $US78,000 ($A108,500) and the new Arch 1s shouldn't be any cheaper.
The bike was launched at the EICNA motorcycle show in Milan, along with an updated version of the original KRGT-1 and the "ultra-exclusive" Arch Method 143 concept bike.
For 2018, the KRGT-1 gets new comsetics, upgraded suspension, better brakes, and Euro4 emissions compliance.
Only 23 Arch Method 143 bikes will be made, so you can image how expensive they will be!
Arch Motorcycles is a partnership between Keanu and bike designer/builder Gard Hollinger.
They met in 2007 when Keanu asked Gard to make him a custom bike.
Keanu loved the result and they started making custom bikes for his Hollywood mates.
In 2015 they formed Arch Motorcycles and began making the KRGT-1 in their LA workshop. "KRGT" is the initials of the partners.
It is powered by a 2032cc S&S V-Twin and comes with Ohlins forks, Race Tech shock, Blackstone Tek (BST) carbonfibre wheels.
Now they are expanding the line-up with the Arch 1s which is also powered by an S&S V-twin.
However, the bike has a more sporty orientation like the now-defunct Harley-Davidson V-Rod.
The Arch 1s features a CNC-machined aluminium frame, carbon-fibre seven-spoke BST wheels and optional ABS.
Pricing and delivery of the Arch 1s are not yet known.
Check out the Wired video below about the development of Arch Motorcycles.
Maybe it is simply jealousy at never being able to afford one of these things, but I do not understand why a true motorcycle aficionado would start a company to produce bikes no "average" person will ever get to ride and enjoy. Most "prestige" brands have a bike offering that the average person could afford, because the people behind these companies realize motorcycling is an experience we should all be able to enjoy. Pretentiousness and elitism should be left at the door and I would think anyone who really loves motorcycling and wants to share that by building bikes would be fighting for ways to get everyone they can on something you have had pride in making/designing. This whole company and concept feels like a bunch of rich tossers over compensating, like the 12 year old kid at cricket with all the new, schmick, expensive gear but couldn't hit a ball to save his life, whereas the kid with the old bat and sneakers is having the time of his life hitting all over the pitch..

As high schoolers, we constantly hear nagging adults saying, "get off your phone," or "you're addicted to your screen." Are we, Ariel Arbiv and Carly Wohlberg, really addicted? The average person spends around 1 hour and 40 minutes browsing social media every day, so what would we do with our time now that we have an "extra" hour and 40 minutes? In three days, we attempted to answer the pressing question and document our results. We deleted all of the social media apps we use (Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat) for three days. Email, text and phone calls were permitted.
We are excited to start this challenge. We know at times it will be difficult; however, we think we will be able to handle it.
First, we let our followers know that we were going to be missing in action for the next three days by posting on Instagram.
I keep my favorite apps (which include Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram) in a folder on the bottom of my phone so that it's available on every page. Here are the before and after pictures for proof.
I was ready for school 15 minutes faster than usual today. I think the only thing that could explain this is that I wasn't distracted by my phone.
I always take pictures or videos on Snapchat of funny things I see throughout the day so that I save them to my memories (a Snapchat feature). Today I couldn't do this, so I took pictures with the actual camera app on my phone and saved everything to my camera roll. I'll have to post them next week.
I keep finding myself opening my "♡" folder and reaching for Instagram, which I check whenever I have free time. It's so weird to turn on my phone and see zero notifications. I've been reminding myself not to go on Facebook when I am on my computer, and I've started playing games on my phone instead.
Not even one hour after waking up, I already found myself tapping the spot on my phone where I am used to seeing my social media apps. As I do not use social media much while I am at school, not having my apps did not bother me. In the evening, after I finished my practice and my homework, I usually spend five to ten minutes on my phone and then go to sleep. However, tonight I went to sleep right as I got into bed.
Today felt pretty much like yesterday. I am still reaching for Instagram and Snapchat when I take my phone out. It's my cousin's birthday, so I had my sister log into my Instagram on her phone and post a picture for me. It's agonizing not being able to check it and see if I'm getting likes and comments. I am realizing how much time I've gained, though. I can't take breaks to go on Facebook in between homework assignments. I finished my homework earlier than I'm used to.
Today was easier. I didn't even check my phone when I woke up and immediately started getting ready for school. During my down time between classes today, I talked with the people around me instead of checking my phone constantly. Since I got to pole vault practice early today, and no one was around to talk to, I played games on my phone for ten minutes while waiting. This challenge has begun to feel more like a cleanse. I left my phone in my car while shopping at Target instead of bringing it inside with me. I was more productive and didn't worry about losing it the whole time.
It's finally almost over. I feel like I've missed so much. A friend of mine sent some big news to a Snapchat group, and I had to find out from someone else. We aren't allowed to download our apps back until midnight, and I'm counting down the hours. Since it's Friday, I didn't have soccer practice after school. After dinner with my family, I just wanted to check my Snapchat but I couldn't, so I realized it would be a good time to write this article instead. It's been a good experience and I've realized how much I rely on social media in my down time. It keeps me occupied, gives me a needed distraction, and will usually put me in a better mood. Whether it's scrolling through a funny Instagram account, reading Snapmags, or watching Facebook cooking videos, I know there is always something waiting for me. I think this challenge would be beneficial to other students because it helped me understand that social media can have a positive impact on me and that I can use it in moderation.
Today I took a road trip to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, which took around six hours (Friday Atlanta traffic). Usually during a car ride I spend time on social media, however, I had to spend my time in different ways. On the ride I slept, ate a snack, and watched a movie I had downloaded the day before. After dinner, we went to the hotel and got ready for bed. Instead of spending 10-25 minutes on social media before bed, I fell asleep early and was well rested for my pole vault competition the next day.
Overall, I highly recommend this challenge. I felt more productive these past three days, and am even thinking about doing "no social media" for a few days a month or once a week. Even though I missed out on some information, I was notified about the urgent current events that actually mattered.
Now, it's your turn. We challenge YOU to go three days with no social media. Whether you're a parent, teacher or student, we think this is a beneficial challenge. Let us know how your challenge goes in the comment box down below.

What Went Before: The sale of gov't stake in Meralco to Global 5000
04:26 AM September 25, 2015
In December 2008, three government institutions agreed to sell their combined 10-percent stake in Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) to Global 5000 Investment, an investment fund led by businessmen Iñigo Zobel, former Trade Minister Roberto V. Ongpin and condiments king Joselito Campos, for P9.9 billion.
The state-run Social Security System (SSS), Land Bank of the Philippines and Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) signed a memorandum of agreement to sell about 110 million shares in the power utility to Global 5000 on Dec. 2, 2008.
Global 5000 agreed to pay for the combined 10-percent stake in Meralco held by the SSS, DBP and Landbank in installments until January 2012.
The shares were not to be crossed at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) until full payment. Nevertheless, Global 5000 acquired the proxy votes immediately.
The sale was deemed significant in the power struggle in Meralco then as the investment fund group was widely perceived as "allied" to San Miguel Corp., which in October 2008 bought the 27-percent Meralco holdings of another state-run pension fund, the Government Service Insurance System.
However, on Dec. 16, 2008, Meralco canceled about 42 million shares owned by Landbank and issued new shares in favor of one Josefina Lubrica, an assignee of a Federico Suntay, citing an Oct. 24 order from the regional agrarian reform adjudicator in relation to a contested land under the government's agrarian reform program.
The government bank protested the cancellation without its consent. Landbank said the premise cited by Meralco was null and void as the new Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) regional adjudicator had already issued an order on Dec. 15 that same year recalling and withdrawing the earlier order.
The bank said such an order affirmed that it remained the true owner of 3.8 percent of Meralco's total issued stocks.
Meralco argued that since the cancellation and issuance of new stock certificates were based on an involuntary sale and final decision of the Supreme Court, the consent of Landbank was not necessary to transfer the shares.
In a letter to the Meralco president, Landbank said it should have been notified about the DAR's demand to comply so that the power company would not have rushed into canceling the shares without hearing Landbank's side of the story.
Because of the dispute, trading on Meralco shares was suspended at the stock market from Dec. 17, 2008, to Jan. 19, 2009. The PSE also fined Meralco for its nondisclosure.
On March 18, 2009, Landbank filed plunder charges in the Office of the Ombudsman against former Meralco president Jesus Francisco, Meralco corporate secretary Emmanuel Sison, former DAR regional adjudicator Conchita Miñas, DAR sheriffs Juanita Baylon and Maximo Elejerio and Lubrica for selling the bank's shares of stock in the power distribution firm.
On Sept. 24, 2012, Emilio Aguinaldo Suntay III filed a complaint in the Office of the Ombudsman against Landbank itself, its former president Gilda Pico, former Finance Secretary Margarito Teves, along with Ongpin, over the 2008 sale of shares in Meralco.
Also named respondents were San Miguel Global Power Holdings Inc. officials led by its chair Ramon Ang, counsel Estelito Mendoza, as well as "public respondent" Supreme Court Justice Lucas Bersamin.
Suntay questioned Landbank's decision to sell its shares to the SMC group when a better offer had been made by the rival group, resulting in an opportunity loss for the government.

Алекса́ндр Алекса́ндрович Щелка́нов (род. 5 августа 1939, Ленинград) — российский политический деятель, председатель исполкома Ленсовета (1990—1991), народный депутат СССР (1989—1991), депутат Законодательного собрания Санкт-Петербурга (1994—2002).

Биография
Родился 5 августа 1939 года в Ленинграде в семье кораблестроителей: отец — инженер-кораблестроитель, погиб во время Великой Отечественной войны; мать — техник-кораблестроитель, умерла в 1992 году.

В 1963 году окончил Ленинградский кораблестроительный институт, в 1977 году — Московский военный институт переводчиков (переводчик-референт), в 1994 году — Северо-Западный кадровый центр при Правительстве Российской Федерации (государственное и муниципальное управление).

Служил в ВМФ, уволился в звании капитана 1-го ранга.

Получая военную пенсию, работал на заводе прессовщиком по пластмассам и слесарем-инструментальщиком, затем — грузчиком магазина № 20 Ленинградской торговой фирмы «Берёзка».

Есть сын Александр.

Политическая деятельность

Народный депутат СССР
В 1989 году на повторных выборах при поддержке комитета «Выборы-89» избран народным депутатом СССР от территориального округа 51 (Кировский район), опередив при этом начальника Балтийского морского пароходства Виктора Харченко.

Член Межрегиональной депутатской группы. В 1989 году вышел из КПСС.

В 1989—1990 работал на постоянной основе в комитете Верховного Совета СССР.

В августе — декабре 1991 года — член Верховного Совета СССР, председатель Комитета Совета Союза по делам Вооружённых Сил.

Председатель исполкома Ленсовета
18 июня 1990 года на альтернативной основе избран председателем исполкома Ленсовета — набрал 220 голосов (из примерно 370 депутатов).

По воспоминаниям ряда депутатов, эта должность Щелканову не подходила. Владимир Ёлкин, знавший его ещё по работе в НПО «Уран», где Щелканов был военпредом, голосовал против назначения, считая, что «его отличали точность и исполнительность в выполнении чужих решений», а организаторскими способностями он не обладал. Олег Гапанович вспоминал, что Щелканов согласился занять этот пост, пойдя «буквально как на заклание, ясно видя все предстоящие трудности, но, понимая, что кто-то должен взвалить на себя эту ношу». По мнению Гапановича, Щелканову больше подошла бы роль председателя Совета, а не главы исполнительной власти; исполком же был собран из случайных людей и работал плохо.

С самого начала их общей работы отношения Щелканова и председателя Ленсовета Анатолия Собчака оказались враждебными. Как вспоминал Гапанович, «Собчак не пропускал буквально ни одного повода, чтобы не подчеркнуть некомпетентность щелкановской команды». По воспоминаниям Алексея Ковалёва, Щелканов, будучи мягким человеком, «в конце концов … самоустранился от руководства», после чего фактически руководить исполкомом стал Собчак через заместителя председателя исполкома Алексея Большакова.

12 июня 1991 года Щелканов ушёл в отставку в связи с упразднением поста и избранием мэра Ленинграда. В августе 1991 года вошёл в штаб по организации борьбы с последствиями государственного переворота в Ленинграде.

Депутат Законодательного собрания Санкт-Петербурга
Руководил созданной им независимой общественной некоммерческой организацией «Миссия по альтернативным предложениям».

Избирался депутатом Законодательного Собрания Санкт-Петербурга как независимый кандидат:
 1994 — во втором туре победил депутата Совета Федерации Александра Беляева.
 1998 — во втором туре победил бывшего начальником ГУВД Санкт-Петербурга Анатолия Пониделко.

Восемь лет был единственным депутатом, не входившим ни в одну комиссию и фракцию.

В ноябре 2000 года баллотировался на пост Уполномоченного по правам человека Санкт-Петербурга (был выдвинут правозащитными организациями «Мемориал» и «Гражданский контроль»). Набрав 24 голоса при рейтинговом голосовании, вышел во 2-й тур, где при альтернативном голосовании набрал 10 голосов (его соперник — выдвинутый фракцией «Яблоко» Юрий Нестеров — тоже не прошёл, набрав 24 голоса).

В 2002 году решил уйти из политики и переехал на Валдай.

Q: Popup won't popup in MVC I'm trying to get a popup to appear from a link in an MVC page, but the popup isn't popping up. The partial view is just replacing the current page in the browser. Why isn't is just leaving my current page in place and giving me a popup? My partial view just has a few words of text in it.
@Ajax.ActionLink(
    "Open popup",
    "GetNotes",
    new { id = "5" },
    new AjaxOptions
        {
            HttpMethod = "GET",
            UpdateTargetId = "result",
            InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
            OnSuccess = "openPopup"
        })

UPDATE:
Here's the complete source (from "View Source") I'm currently trying. When I click the link, nothing happens. What's going on? Am I missing a js file or something?
By the way, this URL is returning my partial view (currently just a couple words of plain text):
http://localhost:40353/Quote/GetNotes/5

Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

        <title>Test</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

        <link href="/Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href="/Styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href="/Styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <link href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.8.20/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

 open popup

A: I think you are missing reference to "jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js" script file in the  section of your Layout (Master) Page.

A: The reason the partial view replaces your view in the browsers is @Ajax.ActionLink renders as a formed  tag in the browser. So when your click on the link your actually.
What I presume you want to do is open the popup and place the partial's contents into the popup?
There is a few ways to achieve this.
Change your actionlink to a normal  open popup
 open popup

And add this function
    $("#OpenPopup").click(function() {
      $("#result").dialog("open");
      // This is a neat wrapper that does a get request to the url specified and loads the html into the target div
      $("#result").load("/GetNotes/5");
    });

A: Check as well in your _Layout at the bottom:

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

Remove
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

and the modal pop up will run.

YouTube is now the second most popular site in the entire world, so it seems to be a bit of a no-brainer that marketers are flocking to it to try to gain customers. Video marketing has been on the rise for the past years, growing even more popular and accessible for brands.
Any subject that you can think of has video about it published on YouTube. From van life to physics, movies to food preparation.
But what is it about YouTube that is so amazing?
The total number of people who use YouTube – 1,300,000,000 – which is almost one-third of Internet users.
YouTube is a fertile marketing ground for men – while female users are 38%, male users are 62%.
In the age range 18-49, 8 out of 10 people will watch something on YouTube each month.
6 out of 10 people prefer online video platforms to live TV.
YouTube reaches more 18-34 and 18-49 year-olds than any cable network in the U.S.
The number of hours people spend watching videos (aka watch time) on YouTube is up 60% year-over-year, the fastest growth we've seen in 2 years.
YouTube has launched local versions in more than 88 countries.
The average mobile viewing session lasts more than 40 minutes. This is up more than 50% year on year. People are watching more on mobile than ever before.
YouTube's mobile revenue is up to 2x y/y.
While 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, only 10,113 Youtube videos received more than 1 billion views.
Approximately 20% of the people who start your video will leave after the first 10 seconds. So make sure your first ten seconds are awesome.
The number of advertisers running video ads on YouTube is up more than 40% year on year.
For Youtube top 100 advertisers, the average spend per advertiser is up over 60% y/y.
Since 2007 YouTube has paid $1,250,000,000 to rights holders.
Google paid $1,65 billion for YouTube in November of 2006.
Partners revenue is up 50% y/y for the last 3 years.
The highest paid Youtube partner is Daniel Middleton – DanTDM with annual income reaching $16.5 million for 2017.
The youngest YouTube star Ryan ToysReview who is 6 years old made $11 million in 2017.
The number of channels earning six figures per year on YouTube is up 50% year on year.
How can a savvy marketer take advantage of YouTube?
This is crucial if you want to get the maximum amount of viewers. You can use a keyword tool like KeywordTool.io, which is specific to YouTube, to search for relevant keywords.
Picking a keyword prior to making your video is necessary so you focus on that topic when creating your content. It also helps you to remember to include the keyword organically in the content so it can be found by YouTube when closed captions are added.
Once you've chosen a keyword, check the top ranking videos for that word to make sure you are targeting the right market.
You can use blogs, white papers, tutorials and guides that you have previously written to create content. Not everything has to be brand new. People searching YouTube are specifically looking for video, so they are less likely to have already seen your content in its other formats.
YouTube rewards channels that have high levels of engagement with their audiences – likes and dislikes, comments, overall time spent on channel and watch times all go into the algorithms.
Try to respond to every comment you receive, and make sure you prompt your audience to like your channel and leave a comment with not only audio prompts (the speaker asking for engagement) but also video prompts (words on the screen).
Drive traffic from Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest, as well as your own blog.
The thumbnails you post can have a huge impact on the number of times your video is watched. Make sure yours stands out from the crowd. This will improve your click through rate (CTR).
YouTube is a growing medium for advertisers and marketers – take the time to create great content, brilliant hooks (for your first ten to twenty seconds) and standout thumbnails, and you, too, could be part of the YouTube revolution.

Q: Redesigning schedule value hierarchy I have a couple of schedule value classes that represent the value a schedule holds for a specific slot.
First, there's the ScheduleValue class for schedules with two dimensions, where the first one (rows) is the players and the second (columns) the timeslots (when the players play each match).
I represented the different possible values with public static ints, and this is what you would use to instantiate a new ScheduleValue:
public class ScheduleValue {
    public static int OCCUPIED = 1;
    public static int FREE = 2;
    public static int UNAVAILABLE = 3;
    public static int BREAK = 4;
    public static int LIMITED = 5;
    public static int NOT_IN_DOMAIN = 6;

    private int value;

    public ScheduleValue(int val) {
        value = val;
    }
}

However, there's a special value, OCCUPIED, that demands an integer to be passed, so the localization (court) where the match takes places is represented by the schedule value. So I added another constructor and I was forced to add controls to prevent wrong states from happening:
public ScheduleValue(int val) {
    if (!(val >= OCCUPIED && val <= NOT_IN_DOMAIN))
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal value (" + val + ")");

    if (val == OCCUPIED)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("A localization must be specified if the schedule value is OCCUPIED");

    value = val;
}

public ScheduleValue(int val, int l) {
    if (!(val >= OCCUPIED && val <= NOT_IN_DOMAIN))
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal value (" + val + ")");

    if (val != OCCUPIED)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Only schedule values of OCCUPIED can specify a localization");

    value = val;
    localization = l;
}

I really don't like the way I have done this. Both having to throw exceptions and the way the values are being checked (using relational operations instead of checking if they're contained in a list of permitted values). How could I redesign it? Should I create a ScheduleValueOccupied class solely for the purpose of holding the value of the localization?
Then, I also have a LocalizationScheduleValue that was made for another type of schedules where the first dimension is the localizations where the matches take place, instead of the players (so the matrix is courts by timeslots instead of players by timeslots). And although it looks pretty much like ScheduleValue, it doesn't even extend from it:
public class LocalizationScheduleValue {
    public static int OCCUPIED = 1;
    public static int FREE = 2;
    public static int UNAVAILABLE = 3;
    public static int LIMITED = 4;
    public static int CONTINUATION = 5;
    private int value;
    private List<Integer> playersIndices;

    public LocalizationScheduleValue(int val) {
        if (!(val >= OCCUPIED && val <= CONTINUATION))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal value (" + val + ")");

        if (val == OCCUPIED)
            throw new IllegalStateException("A match must be specified if the schedule value is OCCUPIED");

        value = val;
    }

    public LocalizationScheduleValue(int val, List<Integer> indices) {
        if (!(val >= OCCUPIED && val <= CONTINUATION))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal value (" + val + ")");

        if (val != OCCUPIED)
            throw new IllegalStateException("Only schedule values of OCCUPIED can specify a match taking place");

        value = val;
        playersIndices = indices;
    }
}

I would like to change this class so it relates to ScheduleValue, but I don't know how for the reasons I am going to mention.
My main concern is about the way I represent values internally, should I stick to integers or should I change to enums?
Then, about creating a new hierarchy. If I end up having a ScheduleValue, ScheduleValueOccupied, LocalizationScheduleValue and LocalizationScheduleValueOccupied, how can I represent all the possible values? If I use ints I would have to keep track of the numbers I used in the parent, otherwise there would be a clash; example:
public class ScheduleValue {
    public static int OCCUPIED = 1;
    // ...
}

public class LocalizationScheduleValue extends ScheduleValue {
    public static int OCCUPIED = 1; // clash with parent here
    // ...
}

While if I use enums, how can I only inherit part of them and addionaly throw in some more values? Example:
public class ScheduleValue {
    protected enum Value { OCCUPIED, FREE, UNAVAILABLE, BREAK, LIMITED, NOT_IN_DOMAIN };
    // ...
}

public class LocalizationScheduleValue extends ScheduleValue {
    // I would only want OCCUPIED, FREE and UNAVAILABLE, but not the rest
    // and I would need to add to the possible values LIMITED and CONTINUATION
}

I am pretty confused about how to restructure this whole thing, especially the issue regarding the internal representation and its inheritance. There's also the name redundancy, how could I name the enum?
Maybe I am overthinking this and the solutions is simpler than it seems to me. I hope it's one of this times you say how could I not see this?
Any suggestions?

A: You could opt to use a class instead of the int or enum in your examples. (I do not program in Java so forgive me if I get the syntax wrong)
public interface Value{
}
public interface LocalizationValue implements Value{
}
public class Occupied implements LocalizationValue{
}
public class Free implements LocalizationValue{
}
public class Limited implements Value{
}
//...

this way, you can make sure the contructors can only accept the correct types:
public ScheduleValue( Value val ){
     //...
}
public LocalizationScheduleValue( LocalizationValue val ){
     //...
}

Of course you should not just leave this classes empty. They are real classes now and should start taking some responsibility. For example lets state that there are several if/else statements like this in the codebase:
public void doSomething( Value val ){
    if( val == OCCUPIED ){
         doSomethingOccupied();
    else if( val == FREE ){
         soSomethingFree();
    }
    //...
}

These switches are no longer needed now because you can define doSomething() in the Value interface and implement it in the concrete classes.
public interface Value{
    public void doSomething();
}
public class Occupied implements Value{
    public void doSomething(){
        //...
    }
}
public class Free implements Value{
    public void doSomething(){
        //...
    }
}
//...

public void doSomething( Value val ){
    val.doSomething();
}

When it makes no sense to implement the doSomething method in the Value classes, it can be extracted by using the visitor pattern. I am not going to type out code snippets for this but you should look up the Visitor pattern if you don't know it. This is safer that the long if/else switch because if you would add another Value type, the compiler will complain untill you've implemented the correct functions.

Talatang Sauluhin

> "At hindi tayo binibigo ng pag-asa, sapagkat ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ay ibinuhos sa ating mga puso sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo na ibinigay sa atin" (Roma 5:5).

Kapag nasa iglesia na napaliligiran ng mga nakangiting mga tao, napakadali na magsalita at umawit tungkol sa pag-asa. Subalit kapag nasumpungan natin ang ating sarili na nasa tunawan, ang pag-asa ay tila hindi gayon kadali. Kapag ang mga pangyayari ay nanggigipit sa palibot natin, nagsisimula tayong magtanong sa mga bagay-bagay, lalo na ang karunungan ng Diyos.

Sa isa sa kanyang mga aklat, isinulat ni C. S. Lewis ang tungkol sa kunyaring leon. Sa pagnanais na makatagpo ang leong ito, itinanong ng isa kung ang leon ay hindi mapanganib. Sinabihan ang taong ang leon ay mapanganib, subalit "mabuti naman siya."

Bagaan hindi natin palaging nauunawaan ang Diyos at tila gumagawa ng hindi inaasahang mga bagay, hindi iyon nangangahulugan na ang Diyos ay laban sa atin. nangangahulugan lamang itong wala pa sa atin ang buong larawan. Subalit nahihirapan tayo sa kaisipan na, para sa atin, upang magkaroon ng kapayapaan, pagtitiwala, at pag-asa, ang Diyos ay naiintindihan at mahuhulaan. Kailangan na sa ating pag-iisip Siya ay "hindi mapanganib." Sa ganitong kalagayan, itinatakda natin ang ating sarili sa pagkabigo.

Ang Sanlinggo sa Isang Sulyap: Paanong ang ating pagkaunawa sa karakter ng Diyos ay nakatutulong upang mapapanatili ang pag-asa sa tunawan?

Russia Says Its New Commercial Airliner Is as Good as Any Boeing or Airbus
Flying high in the Moscow sky.
The Russian government is getting into the business of commercial planes. The Russian United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), which is majority owned by the government, has just unveiled the MC-21 300, which it boasts will be a rival to the best planes coming out of commercial aerospace, like the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 737Max.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev praised the plane, which will complete certification in 2017, at a fancy reception in Siberia. He called the plane "cool," and urged that Russia become an elite player in aerospace.
Western sanctions against Russia have led to increasing calls for domestic production, and the MC-21 300 stands to be a shining role model. The plane has Russian-built turbofans and Russian-built avionics. While the plane has gone through delays, there was no sense of caution in Medvedev's speech.
"I only want to say that I am absolutely certain that the airliner will be the pride of Russian civil aviation, and that our citizens and foreign people will take pleasure in flights on MC-21," he said. We'll see!

Interestingly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Rajan are on the same page on the quality of governance in banks.
There are truths and half-truths. What Niti Aayog vice-chairman Rajiv Kumar said about former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan being responsible for the economy's slowdown, not demonetisation, was a half-truth. Due to the banks' burgeoning non-performing assets which they tended to hide or under-declare, Mr Rajan insisted on an asset quality review in October 2015 that saw a jump in NPAs from `3.4 lakh crores to `10.2 lakh crores in the quarter ending March 2018. He also insisted on higher provisioning for bad loans. Mr Rajan's reasoning was that once the banks were strong, they could start lending again. The immediate result of this Operation Clean-Up was that lending slowed as banks became risk-averse. Medium, small and micro enterprises bore the brunt. They depend on banks for loans as borrowing from other financial agencies is very expensive. Easy money was also no longer available to industry on a phone call. To that extent, Mr Kumar is right in laying the reason for the slowdown at Mr Rajan's doorstep. But Mr Rajan's objective was to put banks on a stable footing, and this must be recognised.
Interestingly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Rajan are on the same page on the quality of governance in banks. Mr Modi in fact vindicated Mr Rajan's efforts to clean up banks when he talks of the "phone banking" syndrome of "dynasts". As he noted, any rich man who wanted a loan would make "dynasts" call the bank and the bank would immediately extend loans worth crores of rupees. Such "phone banking", Mr Modi said, led to the loss of crores of rupees for the country. It was a loot of the country's resources by a few, he said. Mr Kumar would do well to take note, and put Mr Rajan's role in the right perspective. Alternatively, as the PM is ex-officio Niti Aayog chairman, the PMO should take note of the vice-chairman's statement and do the needful.
Where Mr Kumar is right is that the slowdown happened after the clean-up measures, but he should also recognise that demonetisation accelerated the slowdown, shaving a little over one per cent GDP. Historically, the slowdown started towards the end of Dr Manmohan Singh's UPA-2 government, when "policy paralysis" set in. Decision-making was slow or non-existent and projects languished due to this. There was high inflation and low investments coupled with external factors like uncertainty over the quantitative easing or rollback of the stimulus by the US Federal Reserve that created global financial upheavals.
The Narendra Modi government tackled this but even as the economy was beginning to look up, demonetisation was followed by the hurried introduction of a flawed Goods and Services Tax. The economy is now getting over the devastating overhang of these two weapons of mass destruction.


Resources 2016 February What Are the Early Signs of Dementia?
It is only natural to feel as though we have lost some of our memories as we age. How do you discern whether or not memory loss is a natural part of aging between a sign of something more serious?
Do you know how to recognize the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's disease? It may begin gradually. It can be as simple as having difficulty speaking with loved ones. They may notice a change in speech patterns, vocabulary, and even personality in the way one delivers his or her speech.
Then, there are also the cognitive functions that may begin showing signs of decline: concentrating, focusing, learning, making judgments, as examples. Those who have Alzheimer's disease or dementia often display a notable difference between who they were and who they are in that present moment.
At All Seasons Residential Assisted Living, we are here to make a difference in the lives of all who come to us for care. Below, we have compiled a list of the typical early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Confusing time, location, or area last traveled.
Losing items or misplacing items, valuable or not, quickly.
Poor judgment or reaction time.
Problems with thinking about complex or abstract concepts.
Showing difficulty with tasks previously familiar.
Trouble with deciphering visuals or spatial relationships.
A noted change in mood, personality, or behavior.
Withdrawing socially, coinciding with the possibility of anxiety or depression.
Many people ask us how to tell the difference between the signs of dementia and normal memory loss due to aging? Dementia is often much more extreme. You might forget portions of memory, but someone who shows signs of dementia may forget that the experience had ever occurred.
If you have any concerns about a loved one, please feel free to speak with a member of our team. At All Seasons Residential Assisted Living, we place others' comfort first.
Contact us if you would like more information about what we can do to help your loved one.

Often referred to as the gateway to Scotland, Glasgow is that - and so much more. Buzzing with cultural, sporting and entertainment activities, it's a lively city packed full of choice. That might be what draws people to Glasgow, but the quality of life and great career opportunities are what keep them.
The city offers a great lifestyle, as it's probably the best shopping and nightlife destination outside of London. If you're looking for a flat here, you're sure to have a good time, and should you need some time out, there are plenty of parks and open spaces. In Glasgow, there's more green space per square mile than any other UK city. Hopefully some will be on your doorstop.
Living in Glasgow
Glasgow doesn't just impress locals and visitors - it impresses the judges of many awards, doing well on those 'best of' lists. To name just two, Glasgow has been named the friendliest city in the world and the UK's coolest city. We're sure locals would have a lot more to add to the list.
As well as being fun, it's an easy place to live. It's well-connected, with good transport links to nearby cities and towns, as well as further away via the international airport. Glasgow also boasts The Clockwork Orange, which is what locals call the subway system. It's efficient and you can get around all 15 stations in less than half an hour.
If you're working in the city centre, it's a great way to get around. But where will you be travelling from? Glasgow has a range of properties, with houses and flats from different eras - one of the most well-known and recognised being tenements.
These traditional Victorian sandstone properties can be full of period features, and are known for space and high ceilings. There's even a conservation area for these tenements in Hyndland.
Where should you look for a flat in Glasgow?
There's a lot more choice than tenements, though. Let's start the suggestions in the city centre - it is, of course, a desirable place to get a flat. Merchant City is just east of the centre, enjoying a great central location near all the attractions of city life.
The West End is another popular spot, particularly with young professionals. Look out for some great townhouse conversions. G11 and G12 postcodes are the most desirable - try any of the following: Dowanhill, Glasgow Harbour, Hillhead, Hyndland, Partick, Partickhill and Thornwood. The Royal Botanic Garden's area is also desirable, with exciting development plans for the future.
Many areas in Glasgow have had a resurgence in recent years, with the area around Argyle Street being the hotspot. Expect a similar thing to happen to Dennistoun, just past Merchant City, but still within walking distance of the centre.
We also can't forget Shawlands, in Glasgow's Southside. With the right balance of accessibility, open space and entertainment, it's a great place to search for a flat, and has become a popular place to live in recent years.
Find your ideal flat with s1homes
Glasgow is often referred to as the UK's second city, thanks to its sheer size and economic performance. Unsurprisingly, it has a competitive property market.
But with s1homes, you'll find loads of flats for sale in Glasgow. With new listings every day and our email alerts, you can always be among the first to find out about new property.

I was walking to my car while on a break from my job. A guy in a car was driving forward in the direction to go out of the parking lot, but then backed up and hit me when someone called him. My body went up against his car backwards (this is what a witness said about the guy driving and me walking).
The police and ambulance were called. The guy said: "I'm sorry." I replied: "It's a good thing you stopped." He said: "I stopped when I heard you scream." I did not remember screaming.
My ER diagnosis was: Concussion with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter – LOC < 1 minute.
In addition, the next morning I saw scraping and a large bruise on the back of my lower left leg. Who's at fault in this accident? (Is the driver always at fault in a pedestrian accident like this?) Is my work insurance involved at all, since I was on break when this happened? What do I do now? Thank you for any information you can give.
From the facts you present, the driver was wholly negligent. Moreover, you didn't contribute to the accident. Because you were not working at the time of the accident, but instead on a break, workers' compensation will likely not agree to pay your medical bills.
While your injuries were originally serious, there doesn't seem to be a protracted recovery period or substantial amount of medical or therapy bills.
Seek immediate medical attention, especially as there was "scraping" and a large bruise on your back. Once you are fully recovered, or your doctor says you have reached a level of maximum medical improvement, you can pursue a personal injury claim against the driver.
In the interim, ask the driver for the name and contact information for his insurance company.
Contact the driver's insurance company and initiate a claim. You will be assigned a claims adjuster who will handle the investigation of the incident. There should be no reason the driver's insurance company won't accept liability for their insured (the driver).
The claims adjuster will ask for copies of your medical and therapy bills, as well as receipts for medications. Let the adjuster now if you've had to miss work as a result of the injury and required treatment.
Keep the adjuster apprised of your medical and therapy treatment, and continue to send the adjuster copies if your medical and therapy bills, along with receipts for out of pocket expenses, and verification from your employer for any lost wages.
Upon completing your treatment and recovery period, the claims adjuster will likely make an offer of settlement. At that point you can enter into negotiations.

El presupuesto con perspectiva de género comprende actividades e iniciativas para preparar presupuestos o analizar políticas y presupuestos desde una visión de género. También se conoce como presupuestos sensibles al género y se vuelve necesario al entender al presupuesto como una de las herramientas principales de redistribución de los gobiernos. Es importante señalar que el presupuesto con perspectiva de género no se trata de crear presupuestos separados para las mujeres, o simplemente de incrementar el gasto en programas destinados a mujeres, sino más bien en abordar las cuestiones presupuestarias que afectan la desigualdad de género, tales como las jerarquías entretejidas en el género y la distribución asimétrica del trabajo doméstico no remunerado.

La presupuestación con enfoque de género cuestiona así la neutralidad de los presupuestos de los gobiernos, destaca las desigualdades entre mujeres y hombres y las necesidades de adelanto y empoderamiento de las mujeres, ayuda a los gobiernos a asignar recursos públicos para fortalecer los medios para abordar estos objetivos y redistribuye recursos para el mismo propósito.

Actividades principales
Tres actividades principales están involucradas en la presupuestación con perspectiva de género:

 Analizar las políticas y planes de trabajo de la institución con el objetivo de comprender las desigualdades de género, sus fuentes y causas.
 Analizar el presupuesto institucional para observar si se han asignado recursos a las actividades de mainstreaming o transversalidad de género.
 Planificar e implementar una iniciativa presupuestaria sensible al género para abordar deliberadamente las cuestiones de género teniendo como objetivo su superación.

La planificación del punto 3 normalmente incluye la reestructuración del presupuesto existente para abordar las cuestiones de género. Por consiguiente, los presupuestos sensibles a las cuestiones de género son enfoques y herramientas que contribuyen a incorporar la perspectiva de género en las políticas y los planes de trabajo de una institución de forma integral, entendiendo que para empoderar a las mujeres son necesarias políticas en diversas áreas que funcionen de forma coordenada e inclusiva.

A su vez para lograr estos objetivos es necesaria:
 La evaluación de las políticas públicas con conciencia de género.
 La evaluación de los beneficiarios desagregados por género.
 El análisis del gasto público desagregado por género.
 El análisis de la incidencia de los ingresos desagregados por género.
 El análisis desagregado por género del impacto del presupuesto en el uso del tiempo.
 La realización del informe del presupuesto con conciencia de género.
 Un marco de políticas económicas a mediano plazo con conciencia de género.

Análisis de presupuesto con perspectiva de género
El análisis del presupuesto con perspectiva de género expone las oportunidades que se presentan para las mujeres y los varones y si estas oportunidades son o no equitativas. En el análisis del presupuesto con visión de género, se abordan las lagunas existentes para que las desfavorecidas se empoderen. Un análisis presupuestario sensible al género incluye todos los esfuerzos realizados para evaluar cómo los presupuestos reconocen y responden a las relaciones de género y a las necesidades diferenciadas de los diversos grupos poblacionales. Por lo tanto, el análisis del presupuesto de género puede utilizarse para evaluar la prioridad dada a la igualdad de género y al adelanto de la mujer en la distribución de los gastos. También puede detectar la presencia de discriminación contra las mujeres y las niñas en la distribución de los gastos. En general, el análisis del presupuesto de género ayuda a comprender el estado de avance y empoderamiento, o la discriminación y la asimetría de poder entre varones y mujeres.

We have created at least two generations of highly educated people who are unwillingly being crushed by student loan debt. The housing crisis will look like nothing compared to the massive hit our economy will take if these student loans are ever called in or forced into default.
The dirty little secret that is keeping these loans in play — and always ready to tip on the borrowers with the slightest nudge — is the ability to "forbear" and "defer" in a vicious circle where you don't have to pay what you owe, but what you owe gets compounded and pummeled and jacked back into what you already owe. Every day you live, you dig your financial grave just a little bit deeper until you know what you've always known: There's no way out; so give in to that punishing reality and live with your ruined financial debt, but never give up.
How do smart people get put into such financial ruin? They were brought up believing that higher education was the only way to live a right and promising life. You had to "pay to play" in the world and if you didn't have any money or connections, you could still make your way by making yourself smarter and working harder.
Unfortunately, none of that is true today. Yes, you can still go deeply into student loan debt, but you won't ever be able to live a good life with a smarter mind because the system is set against you never being able to pay off your loans. You're a slave to the education of your own mind and you're smart enough to know your end is doom. Not even bankruptcy can save you from that infernal debt that follows you around — both up and downhill — like Sisyphus' rolling rock.
How does the housing bubble debt compare? If you add together mortgages and revolving home equity, then from the first quarter of 1999 to when housing-related debt peaked in the third quarter of 2008, the sum increased from $3.28 trillion to $9.98 trillion. Over this period, housing-related debt had increased threefold. Meanwhile, over the entire period shown on the chart, the balance of student loans grew by more than 6x. The growth of student loans has been twice as steep — and it's showing no signs of slowing.
The amount of student loan debt has skyrocketed in recent years to a total of $867 billion last year — or more than the $704 billion in outstanding U.S. credit card debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Of the 37 million borrowers who have outstanding student loan balances as of third-quarter 2011, 14.4 percent have at least one past-due student loan account.
During the 2010-11 academic year, students and families borrowed $104 billion in loans from the Education Department, a 50 percent increase over three years. Private education loans fell by 65 percent in that time, to $7.9 billion in 2010-11.
Is there any hope to solving this student loan debt crisis?
The one salvation we have is that smart people who know they're being purposely ruined by an unfair system that requires massive debt in order to brighten the mind, have the ways and means and the guts to stand up and fight back against any future unfairness that seeks to punish them for bettering their thinking — and that's the great and grave danger for the current political system and their banker backers — furious, but educated, minds know how to win a knife fight against authority when their very livelihoods are being fatefully and purposefully threatened.
This is exactly why we are saving money now for our young son's future university education. 18 years of saving will hopefully put a dent in that debt!
I hope it all works out, Gordon!
That's an increase of 111 percent and 167 percent, respectively, from the average class of 2012 tuition.
Who has the means? They are in debt. Many smart people are too depressed and ashamed to care. Smart people realize that debt is control…and a way for a small group of people to make a whole lot of money. The smart people know that the system cannot sustain itself and will collapse under it's own weight. Your comment to Gordon proves my point.
"Means" doesn't always mean money. It can also construe ways of getting things done.
The day the Federal student loan programs tells people there are no more deferments or forbearances or the entire balance is now due – – will be the day that the downtrodden will finally rise up and fight back. Right now, the indentured are keeping quiet because the system, while suffocating them, is still providing puffs of air to keep them just afloat enough not to go into a total meltdown panic.
The ultimate resolution will have to be total loan forgiveness after, say 20 years or so without any qualifying considerations, or the total dismissal of these loans in bankruptcy so people can actually, truly, start over with their lives on a clean financial slate.
Maybe specificity is required. Aside from splitting hairs by use of the word "means", the problem is systemic and IBR, ICR, PSLF, Deferment and Forbearance give the borrower a false sense of security. I think the lack of jobs to service these debts will bring this problem to a head…regardless of "means" because the system is corrupt, along with most of our politicians and lobbyists. Many of us would love a blank slate.
The system will stay corrupt in stasis as long as somebody doesn't start sending final dunning notices to borrowers. Then everything will change in a revolt by smart, educated, people who are forced to choose absolute death or a chance at living again. That rebellion needs to happen no matter what, so the smart money is on never letting it get that far by just keeping everything the same.
If the student loan debt problem can be played — from a PR angle — as another botched job by a greedy banking industry, then there might be a way out of it for both sides of the aisle; but if the system blames the borrower who was trapped as a young adult with no other way to get a college education other than risking ruining their lives with overwhelming debt acquisition, then those millions of smart people aren't going into a final grave without one last fight to overthrow the oppressive and greedy regime. The basic unfairness of it all will finally come home and the unfairly indebted will start to stand up.
I've been pulling my hair out thinking about what my son is going to be facing when he gets done with his schooling. He's studying for law enforcement; Highway Patrol is his goal. He's only going to a 'technical college', not a major university, and the debt load is still astromical. Partner that with the purchase of a home on a small tract of land in the country, and I fear the worst for his financial future. I dealt with it some myself, and didn't get the loan paid off (from ONE year in University) until 2004. I attended in 1991.
Everybody who attended college over the last 30 years are sinking in this tipsy boat on a raging sea. Doctors, lawyers — they, too, owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Many will never begin to even begin to pay off the balance. It's a horrible catastrophe that will strike the core of the nation if anyone ever calls these loans immediately due and payable.
AND I just read a book called "Confessions of a Surgeon" (Dr Paul Ruggieri)…… Besides the burgeoning debt load that it takes to support a 'well-paying' profession – I note the blog about school drop-outs. No one is attending high school, much LESS college. I'm glad I'm in my 40's. In the year 2090, it's not going to be pretty around here.
We are definitely in for a reckoning. We have been reckless with our wealth and good fortune and punished the wrong people for trying to move up.

In late 1975, Bob and Chris Sutton started dances with a few friends. In 1976 the informal get-togethers developed into a Monday evening dance session at a hall in Museum Street, Perth (since demolished).
Also in late 1975, Eve Blair arrived in Perth with her husband David, and was keen to share folk dances she had learnt in the USA. She joined the group in 1976, sharing the dance teaching with Chris Sutton.
Chris subsequently returned to her homeland, Sweden, and Eve continue for many years as the sole teacher.
In September 1987 the group was incorporated as Perth International Folk Dance Group Inc., a not-for-profit with the aims stated above.
In 2019, our original constitution was replaced by new Rules of Association to meet new requirements for not-for-profit organisations. The new Rules were endorsed by the members on 18 March 2019, and approved and came into effect on 30 April 2019.
