Chevron Corp. Chief Executive John Watson is planning to step down as the energy giant seeks new leadership for a changing oil world, according to people familiar with the matter.
The transition is expected to be announced next month, although Mr. Watson's successor hasn't yet been finalized by the board and could change, the people said.
The leading candidate to replace Mr. Watson, 60, is Michael Wirth, 56, a refining specialist who earlier this year was elevated to the position of vice chairman at the oil company, the second-largest in the U.S. behind Exxon Mobil Corp., the people said.
Chevron directors see Mr. Wirth's years of experience wringing costs out of big plants that process fuel and chemicals as a critical need in a new era for oil markets defined by low prices, the people said.
Such a background has grown far more important for executives at the world's largest oil companies as they seek out investment opportunities that pay back quickly and move to allay investor concerns about when demand for crude will peak.
A Chevron spokesman declined to comment. Attempts to reach Mr. Watson Tuesday weren't immediately successful.
Mr. Wirth's ascent would mean four of the five largest public energy companies -- including Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Total SA -- would be led by former refining specialists, a telling indication of transformation in oil markets. BP PLC's Bob Dudley would be the last holdover from the time of $100-a-barrel crude.
The transition is expected to be announced next month, although Mr. Watson's successor hasn't yet been finalized by the board and plans could change, the people said. Mr. Watson isn't expected to depart immediately and is likely to remain after the announcement for an orderly transition, the people said.
His likely departure underscores the dramatic shift under way at big oil companies as they adapt to a prolonged period of lower prices brought about by the U.S. shale boom. While the companies once favored swashbuckling leaders who bet billions on megamergers and pricey projects in far-flung regions, many are now turning to executives adept at squeezing every last dollar from a barrel through refining, and shorter-term investments that turn a profit faster.
The leading candidate to succeed Mr. Watson, 60, is Michael Wirth, 56, a refining specialist who earlier this year was elevated to the position of vice chairman at the oil company, the second largest in the U.S. behind Exxon Mobil Corp., the people said.
Chevron directors see Mr. Wirth's years of experience wringing costs out of big plants that process fuel and chemicals as a critical need in a new era for oil markets defined by $50 a barrel of crude, the people said.
A Chevron spokesman declined to comment. Attempts to reach Mr. Watson on Tuesday weren't successful.
The executive ranks have turned over at most big oil companies in the last four years. Former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson retired to become the U.S. Secretary of State. Christophe de Margerie, the former CEO of France's Total, died in a 2014 accident in Moscow. Shell's leader Peter Voser retired at the end of 2013. All were replaced by former refining executives.
The expected retirement of Mr. Watson, who has led Chevron since 2010, is taking place on amicable terms: He decided to step down well before Chevron's mandatory retirement age of 65 years for executives to allow some of the company's new leaders to flourish, the people said. His planned departure comes within the period that he had long outlined to the board, they added. Mr. Watson's predecessor as chief executive, David O'Reilly, also retired years before turning 65.
"Big oil is turning toward very disciplined, returns-centric leaders who can manage razor-thin margins in disruptive, volatile markets," said Les Csorba, who advises energy companies on CEO succession at executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles International, and wasn't involved in Mr. Watson's succession. "This is the answer for these companies as low prices continue."
In Mr. Watson's seven-and-a-half years at the helm, Chevron's shareholder returns -- which include dividends -- have increased by more than 80%. That performance has far outstripped that of peers such as Exxon and Shell in that time period, although it fell short of the advance by the S&P 500 index.
He previously played a major role in managing Chevron's absorption of Texaco Inc. in 2000 and served as the company's chief financial officer.
Mr. Watson's tenure was defined by spending on an epic scale to build out projects all over the world as oil prices ballooned, including some in which costs far exceeded initial projections. In Australia, two mammoth gas-export projects cost Chevron and its partners almost $90 billion, or $23 billion higher than initial projections, according to analyst estimates.
That spending was a sore spot for some investors, the people said, although many analysts over the years have come to see the projects in a favorable light because of how much cash they are expected to generate.
Last year, investors came close to rejecting Mr. Watson's compensation in a "say on pay" advisory vote. Although the compensation measure ultimately passed with more than 50% of the vote, company officials and directors made an effort to meet with investors about their concerns and make changes.
After implementing a number of pay reforms, including one provision that holds executives accountable for cost overruns, Chevron's executive compensation package for this year won the support of more than 93% of shareholders who cast ballots at its annual meeting in May.
Among major oil companies, Chevron also has by far the biggest position in the Permian basin in West Texas and New Mexico, among the busiest and most sought-after oil fields in the world. Under Mr. Watson and production chief Jay Johnson, Chevron has moved to exploit the resource at a breakneck pace, a strategy that has been lauded by analysts.
The company's land in the Permian may hold as much as 18 billion barrels of oil and gas, according to Houston energy investment bank Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. Some had pushed Chevron to ramp up drilling sooner, but the company proceeded at a deliberate pace, seeking partners in an effort to understand how to maximize returns.
Mr. Watson, a University of Chicago M.B.A. graduate and fan of free-market economist Milton Friedman, is an unabashed believer in the importance of oil and gas in the world economy.
In interviews, he has extolled the virtues of cheap energy in alleviating poverty as more people around the world enter middle class. He has also expressed concerns about far-reaching interventions by governments to reduce warming temperatures, often making note of the potential costs to societies.
His views on climate change aren't believed to have played any role in his plans to step down, the people familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Wirth, a Chevron employee since 1982, is said to have views on climate change that are more in sync with those expressed by peers at Exxon, whose chief executive, Darren Woods, urged President Donald Trump not to withdraw from the Paris climate accords.
Mr. Wirth oversaw the company's refining and chemicals businesses for about a decade, ending in 2016. Since 2015, profit from that business unit have far outstripped any other operations even amid the price crash. It has booked more than $13 billion in profit in the last 10 quarters, even as the drilling and production business lost more than $2 billion.

So these sore losers will defend anyone who comes to the U.S. illegally. Illegal immigrants are the same as legal ones according to their philosophy. They talked a big game about leaving the country if Trump was elected. But why bother with an immigration website if they had serious plans of leaving? Why give a moment's wonder about checking into such pesky annoyances like immigration procedures? Why not just go?
Hmmm...maybe it's a lot easier to just to stick around and wait for the tears to dry.

Now the "hate crimes" are coming out.
Racist graffiti, hate crimes after Trump's election - CNN.com
But you know damn well it's the sore losers doing this to make Trump supporters look like the racists.
A lot will be written about this election in the coming days, months, and years. I have refrained from putting out any long-winded explanations because, well, quite frankly, I've been too busy celebrating. I haven't stopped smiling in two days.
But as I see many of my more-liberal friends posting their own diagnoses – usually blaming racism, sexism, xenophobia, etc – I think it is prudent to throw my two cents in. You don't have to believe me. Then again, you didn't believe me when I said Trump would win by way of the Rust Belt a year and a half ago or when I said all of the polls were wrong. But these are minor details…
I want to say this as clearly as possible: Liberals, you went too far.
All of the polling data showed that the majority of Americans supported compassionate immigration reform. You turned around and called for a pathway to citizenship that would have shifted American electoral politics dramatically to the left for decades to come. President Barack Obama, after saying no less than 30 times that he didn't have the legal authority to do so, decided to bypass Congress and give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants by executive order. When a Federal judge ordered the administration to stop, they kept sending out amnesty paperwork anyway. When Kate Steinle was murdered by a five-time deported illegal immigrant in a Sanctuary City, you spoke out in favor of letting potential-killers roam the streets to further your commitment to political correctness. Instead of looking at the real pain caused by illegal immigration in this country, you went to bat for people whose first act in this country was to break our laws. You went too far on immigration and you lost.
Most polling data shows that a plurality of Americans support sensible "common sense" gun control. This election season, you defined the term "common sense" for the first time… and it was terrifying. You chose a Presidential candidate who promised to eliminate the individual right to keep and bear arms by reversing the very Supreme Court case (Heller v DC) that affirmed that Americans have the right to own a gun. You nominated a candidate who promised to ban entire categories of weapons based not on their lethality, but on what attachments they have and what they look like. You went too far on gun control and you lost.
The vast majority of Americans supported the idea of revamping healthcare to make it affordable. Instead of working alongside Republicans, you jammed a healthcare bill down our throats using a parliamentary maneuver that allowed it to pass without a single Republican vote. One of your chief architects of the ACA said, on camera, that the law passed because of the stupidity of the American voter. When faced with the reality of premiums skyrocketing and health insurance companies leaving the system all together, you refused to admit that people were upset because you went too far. Instead, you nominated a candidate who argued the system was falling apart because we didn't go far enough. You went too far on healthcare and you lost.
The majority of Americans support the idea of "free trade." But you nominated a candidate who called the Trans-Pacific Partnership the "gold standard of trade agreements," a candidate who celebrated, alongside her husband, when NAFTA passed and when China entered the WTO. When Democrats had the chance to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership last year, 14 Senate Democrats voted alongside Republicans to give the President power to negotiate on it further. Those same Democrats voted for a companion bill (Trade Adjustment Assistance Act of 2015) to set-aside billions of dollars to retrain the hundreds of thousands of Americans who would lose their jobs as a result of TPP. You went too far on trade and you lost the entire Rust Belt as a result.
The country was roughly split 50/50 on the issue of abortion. Donald Trump stood on a Presidential debate stage and say that yes, if elected his Supreme Court judges would overturn Roe v Wade. Four years ago, many said Romney lost the election because of his "binders full of women." By any measure, Donald Trump's statement should have lost him the election. But he only received 1% less support among women than Mitt Romney did. Why? Because right after he said he wanted to overturn Roe v Wade, his opponent declared she believes abortion should be legal up until the date of delivery, which not only terrifies me as someone who was born significantly pre-mature, but it also goes directly against the viability test set forth in Roe v Wade. You went too far on abortion and you lost.
Contrary to the liberal talking points coming out over the past few days, the vast majority of the country believes in equal rights for people of color. Instead of building off of this common ground, Black Lives Matter popped up and the nightly news was filled with images of African Americans rioting and burning black neighborhoods to the ground. Police Officers began getting gunned down in the streets and yet Democratic Congressmen and Senators promoted this organization from the floor of the House and Senate. Even today, after Donald Trump won the Presidency in a landslide, disgruntled African Americans are being caught on camera savagely beating White citizens, simply because they voted for Donald Trump. You went too far on the issue of race and you lost.
Many on the Left, throughout this election, said that Donald Trump's message was devoid of specifics. If you were one of them, then you weren't paying attention. Donald Trump's campaign was completely issue-based. He won by a landslide because he isolated every single thing that the Left went too far on and promised to right the ship.
While you were salivating over the prospect of 11 million illegal aliens being given citizenship and added to the voter rolls, Donald Trump was meeting with families who had loved ones killed by illegal aliens that Barack Obama refused to deport. While you used the San Bernardino attack and the Orlando Massacre to push for more gun control, Donald Trump stood on stage and promised to keep the violent Muslim extremism that caused these attacks "the hell out of our country." While you called Donald Trump the most anti-gay candidate ever, he was going off script at the Republican Convention, thanking delegates for applauding his plan to keep the LGBT community safe. He was standing on stage at a rally in Colorado holding up a gay pride flag.
You believed that Trump's comments about illegal aliens and certain women would spell certain defeat for the maverick billionaire. Now that the dust has settled, exit polls show Donald Trump winning 1% more of the Latino vote and only getting 1% less of the women vote than Mitt Romney did. You were wrong.
By all means, continue to post about how you think Donald Trump's victory was caused by prevalent racism or sexism or some other -ism. That is your right and I will defend it to the death. But Hillary Clinton didn't lose this election because of an –ism. She lost this election because the American people rejected every single part of your platform and until you realize this, you are going to keep losing.
One line that was repeated throughout the campaign when the pundits thought Trump was melting down was a Napoleonic quote: Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. It would be easy to say this now as Clinton supporters blame everyone but themselves for this historic electoral result.
But at the end of the day, this proverb doesn't fit because you're not my enemy. You are my friend, my neighbor, my countryman. We voted to Make America Great Again for all Americans and I sincerely believe that you will be pleasantly surprised.
One of the biggest problems that the Obama administration had when it first got started with a Democrat supermajority is that the establishment leaders didn't want Obama running anything, they wanted him to be a puppet and do whatever they said. It's why nothing was accomplished in 2 years with a ****ing supermajority.
Trump has already made the Republican establishment his ***** with this election. I don't see him passing whatever the Republicans in congress want and doing what they say, I see him telling them what to do.

one gets **** done ..... other creates **** to do

In the years before NFL Films was born, the made-for-TV show "Time For Football" covered the NFL action each week throughout the fall. Each weekly Black & White TV show ran almost a half hour and featured the big plays of every game. Here are two of these shows (55 minutes running time) from the 1960 season - Weeks 4 and 5. Filming was done by Tel Ra Productions of Philadelphia, and narration in 1960 was by sportscaster Jim Leaming. Below is a brief description of each game. All players listed below are actually named in the narrative, with many others also shown.
Browns vs Cowboys at the Cotton Bowl - Halfback Bobby Mitchell scores three touchdowns (one a 90-yd second half kickoff return) and Larry Stephens returns an interception 34 yards for another TD as Browns overwhelm first-year Cowboys 48-7. Jimmy Brown, Gern Nagler and Jamie Caleb also score for Browns. A Don Heinrich to Billy Howton 12-yd TD pass is only Dallas score.
Bears vs 49'ers at Wrigley Field - Two TD runs by Johnny Morris, J.C. Caroline's 57-yd fumble return and an Ed Brown to Will Dewveall 91-yd TD pass (longest in Bears history) help Chicago beat San Francisco 27-10. J.D. Smith's 34-yd TD run and a Tommy Davis FG are only 49'er scores of the day.
Eagles vs Lions at Franklin Field - Two TD's by Clarence Peaks and two Van Brocklin touchdown receptions (Ted Dean and Bobby Walston) pace Eagles to win over Detroit. A Jim Martin FG and a 17-yd interception return by linebacker Joe Schmidt for his first career touchdown highlight Lions effort.
Colts vs Rams at Memorial Stadium - Lenny Moore has great game with four TD's and Steve Myhra adds FG as World Champion Colts beat Rams 31-17. Los Angeles scoring is on Jon Arnett's TD run, a Billy Wade QB TD plunge and first quarter FG by Lou Michaels. Johnny Unitas tosses TD pass in 41st. consecutive game!
Steelers vs Cardinals at Forbes Field - After Bert Rechichar's two first quarter FG's), Tom Tracy and Buddy Dial add TD's as Pittsburgh leads Big Red 20-0 in third quarter. John David Crow TD run and Frank Mestnik TD cuts Steeler lead to 20-14, but then a late Bobby Layne to Jimmy Orr TD pass seals Pittsburgh win.
Redskins vs Giants at Yankee Stadium - This was the most exciting game of the week (we also have nearly an hour of this game available on another DVD - it is the oldest existing kinescope of an NFL game)! Trailing 17-3 at halftime (Summerall FG, Gifford TD run and Shaw to Rote TD pass), 'Skins stage big comeback. Don Bosseler and Johnny Olszewski score TD runs (with another Gifford TD run for Giants in between), and Washington is now within 7 points with less than a minute to play. After Redskins recover desperation onside kick, Jim Podoley's TD reception from QB Ralph Guglielmi ends the game in a 24-24 tie and spoils Giant's four-game win streak!
Bears vs Rams at The Coliseum - Two Zeke Bratkowski to Angie Coia TD passes, including one with less than a minute left, help Bears tie Rams 24-24 (also TD by Will Dewveall and John Aveni FG). An Ed Meador interception return had put the Rams ahead 24-17 in the 4th qtr. Ollie Matson TD plunge and Frank Ryan to Clendon Thomas touchdown pass figure in L.A. scoring.
Cardinals vs Cowboys at Busch Stadium - J.D. Crow TD and a safety have Cardinals leading 9-3 at halftime. L.G. Dupre's TD in final period gives Cowboys hope for their first victory ever, but Jerry Perry's FG with just 43 seconds left once again dooms Cowboys to defeat.
Packers vs 49'ers at Lambeau Field - Lombardi's team is starting to look like a club to be reckoned with, as Packers pour on the points vs hapless 49'ers. Paul Hornung (FG also), and Tom Moore tally two TD's each, and Max McGee has TD pass reception, as Green Bay beats SF 41-14! Only 49'er points come on Tittle TD passes to J.D. Smith and R.C. Owens.
Steelers vs Redskins at Griffith Stadium - Tied both at the half (10-10) and at the end (27-27), Bob Khayat's late FG saves 'Skins from defeat. Exciting, back and forth game all the way!
Lions vs Colts at Briggs Stadium - This 30-17 win over the Champion Colts is the upset of the year! Baltimore leads 17-10 at the half, but winless Detroit holds Colts scoreless entire second half! Lion QB Jim Ninowski's TD run ties game 17-17 third quarter. Two Jim Martin FG's and an 80-yd interception return by Night Train Lane clinches the game!
Eagles vs Browns at Municipal Stadium - This big game was another thriller. Jim Brown's TD to begin the second half gives Cleveland nice 22-7 lead, but two TD's by Billy Barnes and a Tommy McDonald TD catch put Eagles up 28-22. Then, a Plum to Mitchell TD pass seemingly gives Browns 29-28 victory, but Bobby Walston's 38-yd FG with just 16 seconds left gives Eagles early-season revenge win!

Chavez versus golf
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has denounced the "bourgeois" sport of golf.
"I respect all the sports, all of them, but there are sports and there are sports," Chávez said, wearing his trademark green military-style suit and facing supporters attending his national television show this summer. "Can someone tell me, 'Is this a sport of the people?' "
"Noooooo," government ministers and other officials in the audience dutifully replied.
"It is not," Chávez concluded.
It is unclear why Chávez has turned his attention to golf, though the famously impulsive leader has a wide range of adversaries he frequently assails. Along with the CIA, perhaps none is on the receiving end of his invective as much as the rich.
And as Chávez pointed out on his show, Aló Presidente, no sport is as associated with the moneyed class as golf.
During an exchange with one of his red-shirted followers, Rafael Isea, the governor of Aragua state, Chávez asked, "You play golf?"
"I played a while ago," Isea said, stumbling over his words. "No, I don't play."
When the governor tried to explain that there was only one course in the city where the show was being staged, Maracay, a disapproving look crossed Chávez's face.
"You defend it?" Chávez asked.
Isea answered: "No, absolutely not."
Chávez and other government officials have said golf courses could be better used as housing for the poor or as public parks. In Caracas, clogged with traffic and marked by slums and old apartment blocks, there are few who would deny the need for more green space.
Now I don't play golf myself. And even if I did, I would have no objection to the public takeover of a golf course in the middle of a crowded city and its conversion to purposes that would serve more people. But Chavez's denunciations of "bourgeois" golfers seem a little, um, stereotyped.
Here in the US, at least, golf is widely played by members of the working class. When I lived in St. Louis, almost every local building trades union sponsored a golf tournament for its members.
In Venezuela, golf may be a favorite sport of the well-to-do (and these days that includes a lot of Chavez's bolibourgeois supporters), but "working-class Venezuelan golfers are now making a name for themselves on the international circuit. The most notable name tossed about is that of Jhonattan Vegas, whose father worked as a caddie."
I don't know if Chavez ever saw the photo of his revolutionary heroes Castro and Guevara (wielding the putter) engaged in bourgeois activity on the links.
According to Castro, it was intended to mock then-President Eisenhower, a famously avid golfer. For the sake of the revolution, I just hope they didn't enjoy themselves.
There's a less famous photo, of somewhat doubtful authenticity, showing another of Chavez's heroes hitting a long drive on the ninth hole at the Politburo-members-only Workers and Peasants Country Club outside Moscow in 1920.
Of course it would never occur to me that Chavez is raising a fuss about golf in an effort to distract people from such matters as wealthy Chavez supporters and opponents getting rich from the government-backed dual exchange system, or the abandonment of 2,000 of the Barrio Adrento health clinics established by the Chavez regime and staffed largely by Cuban doctors (many of whom are decamping to the United States).
US recognizes opposition leader as interim Venezuelan president

What to give the person who has everything? How do you acknowledge loved ones / friends without cluttering up their life with more, well, "stuff"? Give the gift of time, of experiences shared, and memories to treasure.
At a recent Destress, Dejunk, Declutter workshop I gave out prizes and what did they win? Starbucks gift cards. Why? I encouraged the audience to treasure the gift of a leisurely cup of coffee with a dear friend. What else can you do? Give your grandchildren memories, not stuff. Drop in to see that elderly neighbor who rarely comes out. The gift of a listening ear is more valuable than any doo-dad, tchotchke or souvenir.
Give us a thumbs up and share this blog with your loved ones. You may be the trend-setting pioneer in your family / circle of friends!
What is Heaven at Home?
I remember a friend of a friend in another state. (Note: I was not acting as her designer. I have to say that up front.) She had a lovely home, but she was not happy at all. She said she was simply miserable until she had her kitchen upgraded to the hilt. So she hired someone to install the highest end appliances, custom cabinets with rare woods imported from who knows where, redoing the existing counter tops and so forth. Every time I'd see her at a social event she kept talking about this kitchen, how she couldn't sleep until she had such and such appliance, and the built in cappuccino maker and so forth. In fact, she upgraded way past the neighborhood standard. She spent huge amounts of $ on this kitchen, spending as much as a small home in some areas. At long last the kitchen renovation was done.
But… was she happy? Did she feel she truly made her house into a home? You guessed it. Miss "I Must Renovate My Kitchen to be Happy"… was not happy. Sure the space itself was beautiful, but she was still restless – still seeking something external to make her feel happy at home. So, she turned her attention to her bathroom. Spent HUGE amounts of $ to redo the layout and the finishes in the master bathroom. Again, after thousands upon thousands of dollars were poured into this area – was she happy? Not at all. Don't worry – I did not work on that project, because I realized that redoing every room in the house was not going to make her truly happy at home.
What happened next? I remember her saying, "Maybe I need to get all new furniture." Last I heard she was thinking of selling her house and building a new one. On and on it goes – I lost touch with her years ago, and I really hope she has found true happiness.
Here is the thing I learned by watching her and others like her. So many people THINK the only way they'll be happy at home – truly to have a sense of peace, joy & contentment at home– is for the external reality – the home's finishes and appliances and so forth – there are many that THINK the external reality has to be just "so". Here's the difference – those external things – they're just what makes it a pretty HOUSE.
The square footage of the home does not make your house a home. The PEOPLE and EXPERIENCES and JOYFUL MEMORIES you make in the space – that makes your house a home. Having a piece of whatever artwork you purchased…made by such & such doesn't make your house a home – it's the quiet sense of joy with your four footed friend curled up on your lap, as you have your cup of tea. IT's the pleasure of having your dear friend come for a real in person chat at your kitchen table. That's what makes your house a home.
And that's this month's home tip – in order to have a bit of heaven on earth, do not look for certain materials or finishes or brands to make you happy – be grateful for what you have, focus on the people, experiences and joyful memories you're making in the space, and you WILL experience deeper joy in your HOME.
May your own house be filled with people, experiences, and joyful memories that make your house into a home.
So many people live with blah, boring beige walls. Move beyond beige with some inspiration from Mother Nature.
I was walking on the south side of town, and saw a woman crying and she was standing next to a van and the woman in the van was beaming. What was going on?
Leticia was so proud of her daughter. Leticia's daughter was starting college in St. Louis, new beginnings. So exciting. Much to their shock, Leticia & her daughter realized that somewhere between the drive from Santa Fe NM and St Louis MO, the daughter had accidentally dropped her wallet. Can you imagine how horrifying that would be? Starting school w/o your license, credit cards, the whole bit…. It's stressful enough moving out of state, but it's even more stressful when you don't have your wallet. So many things would go through your mind – what if someone runs up her credit cards? How is she going to get all new ID before school starts… and so on.
Here's where the lady in the van comes in….. Claudia was driving her van in Santa Fe and saw something in the road – she stopped and sure enough – it was the wallet. She made the necessary phone calls and connected with mom Leticia, to return the wallet.
I just so happened to walk by as they were meeting to return the wallet. It was a beautiful thing to behold.
Claudia took the time to do the right thing, and mom Leticia's prayers were answered. There are lovely people doing good things every day. That is indeed good news.
 I encourage you to be on the lookout for good people doing good things. I really believe there is much good in the world – we just need to pay attention and notice.
Recently I was in TX teaching a live Destress Dejunk Declutter workshop, and we talked about a principle that I'd like to share with you. After you've decluttered your home, and everything that you have is really a reflection of who and what you are today, how do you know what to display and how to do it in a way that makes your home look its best? In other words, how can you make sure the things you need every day, don't look, well, junky?
WHATEVER IS VISIBLE IS USEFUL *and* LOVELY.
Repeat after me, "Whatever is visible is useful AND lovely."
How can you apply this in your home? Let's start in the kitchen, probably the most clutter-catching area in the home. After you have decluttered your kitchen counters, you only have out the things you use every day. Let's say you like to cook, but those jars, cannisters and items just junk up the counters - what do you do with them? Corral your clutter by placing baking / cooking items on an oversized tray. Just like that, you have a still life - instead of a mess.
Staying in the kitchen - I see a lot of homes where people have lots of snacks out on the countertops. If this is you, here's a suggestion. Grab an over-sized basket or mixing bowl – like a mixing bowl or an interesting serving bowl you use when you host dinner parties. Place your snacks in the basket or bowl – potato chip bags, granola bars, small tin of nuts… whatever your family likes to nibble on, just put them all in the over-sized bowl on your kitchen counter. Now, instead of a disorderly pile of bags and such, you have one single container with all the snacking goodies. Visible, useful and attractive. See how this works? And the benefit of this particular application of this principle, is that when you have a movie night, you can just grab the bowl and head for the couch.
The next most cluttered room in the home usually is the master bathroom. If you have an assortment of lotion bottles, perfume, hair spray and what-nots, and you want to keep them out, let's take it from cluttered jumble to an attractive display. How? Grab a tray and put all those misc. necessities on the tray. There's a book about how to do the "adulting" thing, and they talk about this principle. Anything and everything looks better when put on a tray!
Or if you're like me and you have a seeming jumble of hair appliances (how many curling irons do I really need?!?), here's another idea. Put all the daily hair necessities into an attractive basket– and you have instant charm. Now instead of jumbled mess, you have an orderly composition – a still life – a study in loveliness on your bathroom counter. Every morning your organized bathroom says, "Well done, you!"
Whatever you have out visible, make it look much nicer by putting things together in a basket, bowl or on a tray. This tip takes minimum effort but has a big impact. Reach over and pat yourself on the back.
Happy organizing, Give this a thumbs up.

Flu vaccine rates low in Michigan, counties work to boost vaccinations
This article originally appeared in WWMT. Read more here.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said they are seeing a significant decline in people getting flu shots so far this year.
Health officials were urging people to get both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine so that cases of both viruses don't overwhelm the health care system at the same time.
The Population Health Alliance of Calhoun county put on a community health event in Springfield Saturday to help boost vaccine rates in the county.
The clinic took place from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
They partnered with Grace Health and other health organizations to offer both flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the clinic.
"If we do get the illness, it helps us to have less symptoms," said Hannah Frentz, a registered nurse at Grace Health. "So it's very important to get vaccinated so our body can build up the antibodies to help protect us."
According to the state's flu vaccination dashboard, flu shots were more than 26% behind where they were this time last year.
Director of the Population Health Alliance Angela Stewart said the way to get more shots in arms is to meet people where they are.
"We're trying to make it as accessible as possible. The best way to do that is to get out into the neighborhoods and so that's why we're doing an event here at the Burma center to really hit the Springfield neighborhood," Stewart said.
The state's goal is to reach 4 million flu vaccinations.
The latest state data shows a little over 25,000 people in Calhoun county have gotten the flu shot. The county's goal is 53,000 people.
Frentz said hesitancy around vaccines is normal.
"I think its really good that you're questioning it and want to find out more information. I would say talk to your doctor or trusted health care professional so they can answer your questions," Frentz said.
By the end of the event, 22 people got the flu shot and 67 people got the COVID-19 vaccine at the clinic.
Population Health Alliance planned to host another vaccine event in December.
To schedule a COVID-19 or flu vaccine in the meantime in Calhoun county, visit the Calhoun county public health department's website.


The New Tempest. An orange one.
I love the way Space Engine render asteroids.
i was then curious to see the atmosphere's color, so i tried an experiment.
i then tried to land on it, and the view was staggering (for me, tho)..... pink clouds!
just accelerate the time speed at x1000 and enjoy.
I highly recommend to anyone to see this!
Wow, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen in SE Funkadelic!
That is really awesome looking. Sometimes space programs and shows make me sad Earth doesn't have rings.
All I'm seeing there is darkness...... Wierd.
Edit: Oh lol, somehow got sent several gigaparsecs away.
Edit2: *facepalm* Turning procedural galaxies on.
Edit3: How far up from the planetary surface should I be? Still seeing blackness.
Edit4: Maybe its because I'm of a later generation than the disco generation, but I fail to see what's psychadelic about long periods of darkness and brief periods of sunlight. It is certainly a nice effect though.

Did you use the exact place code in its entirety? And are you using 0.9.6.2?
I copied the whole thing from the bracket to the end of the p in Place and I have 0.9.6.2 I think the time setting is 2 months too early.
Edit: It starts getting psychadelic around July. Also, maybe I was supposed to go backwards, not forwards or I somehow landed in the wrong place? OR, was I supposed to turn 3D water off?
It starts getting psychadelic around July. Also, maybe I was supposed to go backwards, not forwards or I somehow landed in the wrong place?
Could you screenshot and PM it to me so I know what I'm supposed to be seeing?
the mouvement of the ring's shadow, the clouds and the colors changing make a great effect.
Maybe you just have set the time too fast? try x1000 or less.
Same here ! Funkadelicious is a good word for this one!
I'm sure SE is full of similar wonders..
I don't know why, but it actually sent me to an oceania. I put the stellar remnant numbers back to what they were just in case it somehow had an effect.
Edit: Strange, that apparently DID have an effect. O.o Thought it wouldn't.

Over the coming weeks, Norway plays host to its largest NATO joint exercise since the Cold War.
Trident Juncture is also said to be NATO's largest military exercise since 2002. Here's what you need to know.
What is Trident Juncture for?
Where is Trident Juncture taking place?
Who is taking part in the exercise?
How much does Trident Juncture cost?
What does the Norwegian government say?
Is there any opposition to Trident Juncture?
The main goals of Trident Juncture are to train the NATO Response Force and to test the alliance's defence capability.The exercise will also test Norway's ability to receive and handle support from its NATO allies.
In the run up to the exercise, many soldiers from around the world have been taking cold weather training. The Norwegian School of Winter Warfare holds annual winter courses.
During four weeks, participants learn how to ski, how to dress for the cold, and how to establish a camp out in the field. Some of the skills learned will be put to use during Trident Juncture.
The exercise will mainly take place in central and eastern parts of Norway, and air and sea areas in Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
The scripted field training exercise will centred on areas south of Trondheim in Trøndelag, and north of Rena Camp in Hedmark. Sea-based activity will take place along the Norwegian coastline and in areas of the Baltic Sea, while air-based activities will take place in Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish airspace.
The subsequent desk-based command post exercise will be set at NATO's Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger.
An expected 50,000 participants from over 30 nations will take part. The participating nations are Norway and many of its NATO allies, along with partner countries Sweden and Finland.
In addition to the people taking part, there are reported to be 10,000 vehicles, 250 aircraft and 65 vessels. This includes Super Puma helicopters, the Canadian maritime patrol aircraft 'Aurora', and eight Hornets from the Finnish Air Force.
NATO and the Norwegian defence sector have signed contracts with Norwegian businesses at a total of NOK 1.5 billion.
This includes the establishment of 35,000 beds, 1.8 million meals to be served, 4.6 million bottles of water and 660,000 kilograms of laundry throughout the exercise.
While the exercise is first and foremost a military exercise for the NATO group as a whole, Norway's ability to handle a real military situation will also be put in the spotlight.
The country volunteered to host Trident Juncture and NATO accepted following the success of the first exercise held in Portugal and Spain back in 2015.
Norway's ability to receive and successfully manage so many troops and a huge volume of materials and equipment will be very much in the public eye.
But the event will also test Norway's 'total defence' concept, in which civilian resources including the health sector, the state-run railways, the public roads administration and the Directorate for Civil Protection will support the military.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg backs NATO and the Trident Juncture exercise.
Of course, Norway has a special role in NATO right now given the country's previous Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg, currently heads up the organisation.
"Trident Juncture sends a clear message, to our nations and to any potential adversary: NATO does not seek confrontation, but we stand ready to defend all Allies against any threat. This is a strong display of our capabilities and of our resolve to work together", he said.
Many critics of NATO's recent activities have called the increased presence of troops in Norway and the Trident Juncture exercise a provocation.
Secretary General Stoltenberg said that all members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have been invited to send observers to Trident Juncture. "I welcome that Russia, as well as Belarus have accepted the invitation," he said.
He added that NATO also briefed Russia on the exercise in the NATO-Russia Council earlier this year.
While Norway's ruling coalition has backed the exercise, not everyone in Norwegian politics is behind the event.
Protests have been held in Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen and Kristiansand, led by organisations including the Norwegian Peace Association, the campaign group 'Norway out of NATO', the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions in Oslo, and two of Norway's smaller left-wing parties: SV and Rødt.
Spokesperson Geir Hem told Aftenposten that Trident Juncture simply increases the chances that Norway will become a future venue for war.
He says he is not opposed to defending Norway, but that a real defence to ensure independence must be built from the ground up, not from the top down.

Ex-FBI Agent Says IPRA Considered Clearing Cop Later Charged By Feds
Filed Under:Independent Police Review Authority, Marco Proano, police shooting
CHICAGO (CBS) — The agency charged with investigating police shootings in Chicago was leaning in 2015 toward clearing a cop who would ultimately face criminal charges for wounding two teenagers, a former FBI agent testified Tuesday.
But upon learning of that possibility, then-FBI Special Agent Larissa Camacho said she spoke to the head of the Independent Police Review Authority at the time, Scott Ando, who agreed that Officer Marco Proano's decision to fire at the teens on Dec. 22, 2013, required further investigation, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
It's not clear how much sway Camacho's intervention had over the IPRA investigation. But IPRA recommended Proano's firing in August 2016 under the new IPRA chief, Sharon Fairley. A federal grand jury indicted Proano the next month for civil rights violations. And in U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman's courtroom Tuesday, Camacho did not mince words with Proano's defense attorney, Daniel Herbert.
"I thought your client was completely in the wrong for this shooting," Camacho told Herbert from the witness stand. "Your client shot into a car full of teenagers."
The wounded teens settled a lawsuit against the city for $360,000.
Camacho testified during an hours-long hearing aimed at determining whether legally protected statements by Proano played an improper role in his prosecution. Prosecutors twice asked Feinerman to close the courtroom to the public and the media in an effort to keep such statements out of the press. Feinerman declined to do so until mid-afternoon, forcing the attorneys to steer clear of such testimony.
The judge is expected to rule on the matter Wednesday.
Camacho, who is now retired from the FBI, testified that she met with IPRA investigator Dennis Prieto early in March 2015. During that meeting, she said Prieto told her he was leaning toward a finding that Proano did nothing wrong. She said she then went to speak to Ando and walked him through dashcam footage of the incident. She said he agreed the case required further investigation.
Prieto took the stand after Camacho. However, he said he didn't recall much of the March 2015 meeting, and he pointed out that he eventually found Proano "culpable."
Later, FBI Special Agent Eugene Jackson testified that he witnessed "small talk" between Camacho and Ando, during which Ando agreed to let the FBI handle the Proano case.
Ando could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
On Dec. 22, 2013, a police vehicle's dashboard camera captured Proano firing his handgun into a car full of teenagers who were pulled over for speeding at LaSalle and 95th on the South Side.
At the time of the shooting, the police department said in a statement that officers curbed a stolen car packed with joyriders. Herbert has said one of the teens jumped from the back seat of the car and was operating the gas and brake pedals with his hands while another teen was dangling out of the car.
Herbert has said Proano was justified in using deadly force to stop the reckless driver who was jeopardizing the passenger hanging from the vehicle.
Proano's case is set to go to trial later this month.

Scotland has an international reputation for quality education and this culture and heritage is integral to the success of our events industry.
As covered in the National Events Strategy, Scotland the Perfect Stage, Scotland's culture and heritage is a valuable resource that helps us to attract and develop events, as has been done successfully to date.
This includes our rich history and ancestry, our world renowned food and drink, our reputation as a leading nation in fields of education, architecture and innovation, our museums, galleries and historic buildings, our iconic poets, artists, writers and musicians and the vibrant contemporary cultural scene in today's Scotland including our festivals and Creative Industries.
One of the core pillars of the National Events Strategy is Education and Knowledge Sharing. The resources below aim to assist in the sharing of this information.


You know those "senior moments" people like to claim they have? Well, according to a study quoted in USA Today, these moments are more rare than thought. According to research performed at Duke University, most older adults - almost 2/3 - only experience a small amount of cognitive decline. The study accumulated data for over a century.
To read more on teh study, click here.
Even though our Older Adults guides are about as comprehensive as you'll find, we by no means think we have every topic completely covered. That is what makes the web such a great resource - a good website can always help supplement what you find here. One such website is Help Guide.org. At this site you can find all sorts of helpful articles and tips to help you live a healthy lifestyle. I hope you check it out.
Our internet versions of both the Cincinnati and Youngstown Older Adults guides are now available on the site. You can click on the link at the top of the page for either city and view all the same listing information present in our print editions - from housing and assisted living services, information and referral services for seniors, home health care, meals programs, senior centers in your area, Medicare information, adult day care facilities, and so much more. You won't find a more comprehensive listing of resources for your community anywhere on the web.
As always, we welcome any comments you have regarding our Older Adults guides, whether it be our print editions of online versions. And thanks for stopping by the site.
Does Being Bi-Lingual Help Delay Alzheimer's?
A recent article in USA Today reported on a study whose findings appear to lend credence that learning a second language helps stave off Alzheimer's. While not a cure, older adults can benefit from learning a second language, as it appears that it helps delay the onset of the disease. To read the entire article, click here.

Q: displaying jobs to a user based on the user ID they log in with Presently my site is able to display all jobs which have been posted by the admin to any user logged in. however Im trying to edit my code so that it only displays the jobs which are assigned to each user based on their user id. in a previous page, you would create a job for that user and their user ID is automatically assigned to that job.
heres my code for displaying all jobs to the user:
html page:
<?php
    if(!isset($_SESSION))
    {
        session_start();
    }
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>

       <meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

            <?php

            require_once ("config.inc.php");

try
    {
    $conn = new PDO(DB_DATA_SOURCE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD);
    }

catch(PDOException $exception)
    {
    echo "Oh no, there was a problem" . $exception->getMessage();
    }

            if(!isset($_SESSION["username"]))
{
    //user tried to access the page without logging in
    header( "Location: add.php" );

}

if(isset($_SESSION["username"]))
{
    echo "Welcome, you are now logged in as ".$_SESSION['username'] . ",with the status:". $_SESSION['occupation'] ." "; }
    else {
    echo "You are currently not logged in";
    };

    $login = $_SESSION['user_ID'];
    print_r($_SESSION);

    $query = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE user_ID = :user_ID";
$term = $conn->prepare($query);
$term->bindValue(':user_ID', $login);
$term->execute();

$login = $term->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);

main php coding
function getJobs($conn)
{

    $query = "SELECT * FROM jobs";
    //$query = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE user_ID = :user_ID";
    $stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
    //$stmt->bindValue(':user_ID', $login);
    $stmt->execute();

    $workers=array();
    while($worker=$stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ))
    {
        $workers[]=$worker;
    }
    return $workers;
}

(the function is called in another file so thats fine)
So at the moment it displays all jobs to the user logged in, but I only want to display jobs which matches the user ID of the user logged in.
Ive attempted it by editing the sql statement as commented out but no luck. I also created a table to handle the foreign keys when I try display the jobs (driver_jobs)
tables:
driver_job table: https://snag.gy/Mm5cU7.jpg
Job table: https://snag.gy/T9yXqL.jpg
any ideas?

A: You can save the id of the logged in user in the session on successful login.
$_SESSION["user_id"] = $user_id

Then you can just fetch all the jobs related to that user by using where clause.
$query = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE user_ID = :user_ID";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindValue(':user_ID', $_SESSION["user_id"]);

We are pleased to announce that our March Mathletics Master Class is Miss. Miller's class at Chaplin School in Chaplin, SK. We were impressed by Miss. Miller's dedication to motivate her class in Math by using Mathletics in a fun and creative way! Read on to get some great ideas for your classroom.
"I personally started using Mathletics about 4 years ago at the school I was working at prior to coming to Chaplin School. I started teaching at Chaplin School in September of 2013 and have been using Mathletics from day one. Over the years I have incorporated Mathletics in my classrooms in a variety of ways, but this year has proven to be the most effective. In the fall, we decided as a class to set a goal of acquiring 100 Mathletics certificates. As an extra incentive to my students, I posted a chart in the classroom counting up to 100 so they could monitor their progress. What has ensued has been incredibly exciting to watch. Students are now motivating each other to push themselves each week to get enough points to get a certificate. We achieved our goal of 100 by mid-December 2013 and are already over halfway to our next 100. Each time we reach 100 certificates I reward my students for all their hard work with some fun time. We had a movie morning for our first reward and have discussed having a road hockey game or playing board games. They have decided that they want to achieve a goal of 500 certificates before the end of the school year. With a class of only 20 students this is quite a lofty goal but my students are motivated so I will be excited to see the end result.
Thanks for sharing your great ideas, Miss. Miller! We love your creativity and it seems like your students do too. Read some of her students' comments on Mathletics.
Looking for more of what you see here? Check out Miss. Miller's blog for even more great ideas and thoughts!
If you would like to be featured as our Mathletics Master Class of the month, read on to find out how you could be one too.
Do you love using Mathletics in your classroom? Do you use it in fun and creative ways? We want to hear from our 21st century classrooms!
Every month, we will be featuring a new Mathletics Master Class and it could be you. We want to share with our global community, the exciting ways you incorporate Mathletics in your classroom.

The ICS has changed the publishing pattern of its journal, the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies. We are now publishing themed issues rather than general issues. These appear twice per year.
The subject matter of a themed issue may relate to any area of Classical Studies broadly defined, including archaeology. A themed issue might derive from a conference or seminar series which has already taken place, for example, publishing selected papers from those occasions; it might involve entirely fresh commissions; it might represent a balance of papers which have already been presented, and others which are specially invited.
We therefore periodically ask prospective editors of future themed issues to contact us with an expression of interest. We have recently commissioned for issues which will be published in 2019-2021. We are not formally seeking new expressions of interest at present, but always welcome contact from colleagues who might be interested in editing issues of BICS in the future. We currently anticipate that our next commissioning exercise will take place in 2019.
The subject area of your issue.
Publishing rationale: Why this topic deserves publication at this time, with an overview of the relation of your proposed treatment of the theme to other relevant work in the field.
Contents: A list of articles to be included in the volume, and their authors, with an indication of whether each has accepted firmly or provisionally. (We understand that much is likely to be provisional at this stage.) Please also indicate the level of illustration likely to be required. Editors should further specify how they will bring unity and coherence to the issue, and how they expect to solicit, support, and shape individual contributions.
Length: A complete issue is c. 60-70,000 words; papers in BICS tend to be c. 8000 words, while contributions of over 15,000 words are rarely accepted. 70,000 words is a maximum word limit.
Schedule: An indication of when the papers will be ready for peer review.
Proposals for themed issues are reviewed by the Publications Committee of the ICS. Our first review was conducted in March 2016; the second was in May 2017.
Once a themed issue is accepted in principle, a detailed schedule will be agreed. At this stage, all proposed authors must be confirmed. Among other things, the schedule will cater for peer review: in line with publication standards, all papers will go through a process of 'double-blind' review, and it is proposed that this will be managed in collaboration by the editor(s) and the ICS, in a manner to be agreed in detail once the issue has been formally accepted. The issue editor(s) will take responsibility for delivering final copy in a standard format, of an agreed length (70,000 words max.), by an agreed date, in accordance with BICS editorial guidelines. Copy-editing, layout, and production will then be handled by the Institute, with proofs distributed to all contributors before publication.
For reference, the current issue of the Bulletin is available here. Information about our forthcoming themed issues, which will be published in 2017–18, is available here.
All contacts and queries should be directed to Dr Liz Potter.


Vladimir Muhin belongs to a new generation of Russian artists who survived the artistic repressions of the Soviet Union and are now flourishing in the more open political climate of modern Russia.
Following his study at the Moscow Academy of Fine Art Vladimir's reputation steadily grew and he was invited to take part in exhibitions throughout Europe. His work was influenced by the famous Russian artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries like Ilya Repin, Konstantin Korovin, Valentin Serov and later by Western European masters such as Diego Velazquez, James Tissiot and Anthony Van-Dyke. Today Vladimir Muhin is recognized as one of the premier portrait painters in the world. He represents the very best of contemporary Russian style, a highly skilled technique combined with a strong character that was tested against the wall of Soviet artistic repression.


Anne Wakefield travels halfway around the world for love. But when she arrives in Canada from England at the end of World War Two, she discovers the handsome Canadian pilot she'd fallen in love with has married someone else. Heartbroken, she prepares to return to London, though she has nothing left there to return to. Her former fiancé's mother makes a suggestion: marriage to her other son. Badly wounded and scarred during the war, Erik Gustafson thinks he's a poor substitute for his brother. Although he loves Anne almost from the first time he sees her, he cannot believe she would ever be able to love him as he is – especially as he might be after another operation on his bad leg. Anne sees the beauty of his heart. The cold prairie winter may test her courage, but can she prove to Erik that her love for him is real?

Free airplane rides for kids Saturday at Trenton-Robbinsville Airport

By Sherrina Navani |
PUBLISHED: May 16, 2014 at 4:41 p.m. | UPDATED: August 19, 2021 at 2:55 a.m.
EWING – Kids as young as seven can get a taste of what it feels like to soar through the sky for free this weekend
Skys Unlimited, a flight training school based out of the Trenton-Mercer Airport, will be hosting free plane rides and other flight-oriented family activities on Saturday at the Trenton-Robbinsville Airport in Robbinsville.
'You can start flight training at any age even as young as a toddler,' said David Duvak, Flight School Manager and Instructor who pointed out that the old adage that flying is safer than driving is true.
'So a 4-year-old can fly a plane with an instructor, I wouldn't recommend that but it is possible.'
The difference between driving on the land and soaring through the sky is the amount of stimulus which comes at the person who is navigating the machine. 'On the road everything is coming at you all at once, you don't have all that in the air, everything is sequenced out,' said the 26-year-old pilot.
According to Duvak who started flying solo 10 years ago, a pilot must be a minimum of 16 years old to fly without an instructor, and must log a certain number of air hours to gain their license. However, once they do, flying a plane is actually easier than driving a car. 'When you fly a plane you go by government regulations, when you drive a car you go by state regulations which can vary from state to state,' said Duvak.
'Learning to fly a plane, most people can grasp it in seven hours at least the basics of it however the book work is harder because there is a lot of math and science involved.'
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), will host the free flight training for children ages eight to 17. Volunteer pilots – who are part of the Young Eagles program – will offer the opportunity to spend few minutes as a 'student pilot,' handling the controls of the airplane under close supervision of the pilot.
Visitors will have access to the flight line, giving them a pilot's-eye view of take-offs, landings, and other airport activities. Other free activities at the rally will include a mini-ground school, movies, games, and static displays of aircraft. The event will be held at Trenton Robbinsville Airport, 106 Sharon Road in Robbinsville, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Rain date is Sunday, May 18. For more information contact Lee Goldberg at bearberg@gmail.com or visit Chapter 176's web page https://tinyurl.com/EAA176-Facebook.
'Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally,' said Mike Freidman, spokesman for the event. 'We hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.'
'The activities at our events are designed to stimulate kids' interest in aviation and provide opportunities to become involved in the world of aviation' continued Freidman. 'Our mini-ground school, flight simulator, and introductory flights are designed to show them how they can make flying a part of their life or their career.'

One Sector That Will Thrive in the US-China Cold War
(Beijing)
If one thing has been clear over the last couple of years, it is that US-China relations are getting worse. It started earlier in Trump's term and has escalated in a tit-for-tat battle over the last couple years. Some refer to it as a great "uncoupling" while others say it is a new cold war. Whatever you call it, there are a handful of sectors that will do well as the situation unfolds. One such sector is automation and robotics companies. These companies are likely to do very well as US businesses are forced to re-shore manufacturing from China and seek out automation to make the return more economical.
FINSUM: A major decoupling will be a very ugly event. US companies do $500 bn of sales in China each year. The automation play makes sense. Check out the Robotics ETF (ROBO).

US and China Prepare to Seal Deal
It has been more than 18 months of brinksmanship in the making, but the US and China are apparently set to seal a phase one trade deal. The deal will be signed at 11:30 am in the White House. The deal leaves out a lot of the most difficult and contentious issues between the countries, but is a sign that things are improving. The FT summarizes the substance of the deal this way, saying "It commits China to making $200bn in additional purchases of US goods, including farm products, and other pledges on currency and intellectual property, in exchange for a small rollback in some tariffs and an indefinite hold on further punitive measures out of Washington".
FINSUM: The key thing here is that both countries want this work out and this deal is a step in the right direction. We find this quite positive in the grand scheme of things.
Imminent Stock Rout Looms Says Top Asset Manager
One asset manager called last year's fourth quarter stock rout perfectly, and they are doubling down, saying it will happen again this year. Principal Global Investors' Seema Shah says that stocks are facing another imminent selloff if the US and China can't get a trade deal done before the December 15th tariff deadline. "If that trade deal doesn't happen and if everything falls apart and it feels like tensions are getting worse, then I think we are facing a potential repeat of last year, and it will be worse", said Shah. She says that the shock could be even bigger than in other parts of the year because of how liquidity disappears in December.
FINSUM: So we are dubious on this call, but what is interesting to us is that this argument was published on November 28th, and since then Trump has backtracked on the trade deal timeline.

The Looming "Capital War" with China
Hedge fund icon Ray Dalio delivered a grim speech yesterday at a gala dinner for the National Committee on US-China Relations. The investor is worried about war in all it forms. He said that "There is a trade war, there is a technology war, there is a geopolitical war, and there could be a capital war". Famed former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger also spoke at the event and told both sides that they must avoid a shooting war at all costs, as no side can win.
FINSUM: Everyone on both sides will hopefully be somewhat relieved if a "phase one" trade deal can be reached.

Markets Unconvinced by Trump Saying US-China Deal is "Close"
Trump went on the record yesterday telling investors that the US and China were close to finalizing a trade deal. Markets were unconvinced. Speaking at the Economic Club of New York yesterday, Trump said "We're close to a significant phase-one trade deal with China … It could happen soon, but we will only accept a deal if it's good for the U.S. and our workers and our companies". Markets held ground after the comments, but ultimately fell back as Trump offered little evidence to back up the comments of a deal being "close".
FINSUM: In our view of this situation, a deal is never close to being done, it is perpetually on the edge of falling apart and only truly done when it is signed.

Kat Von D has had her own line of makeup for a few years now. I have often lusted over them when I saw them at Sephora. I was surprised, not sure why though, that I liked how the makeup looked. Whilst shopping for a gift, I found some Kat Von D lipsticks on sale and took the opportunity to finally try it out for myself. I love this lipstick!!!
I like that you can see the lip shade from the bottom of the tube. However, I didn't like that I couldn't read what the color was. The print was miniscule!!….
For my face of the day, I am wearing 'Foam On Top' eye shadow across my entire lid and water-foiled 'The Last Drop' eye shadow as my eyeliner. My foundation is Ivory along with Doll Face blush. I topped it all off with Translucent finishing powder. I used Physician's Formula Brow Tweez 3 In 1 Pencil in Blonde.
Have you tried any of Kat Von D's makeup? What do you like best?
Did you know that I purchased Beauty From The Earth Cosmetics last month? I sure did! And, my very own, first collection is available at BFTE's Coffee Collection v.2, which I used two of the shades for my look here.
