It is very important know that the price of lengthy-time period care is expected to develop considerably over the next few a long time. In the next thirty years, the annual value of long-term care is expected to extend over 330% to over $300,000 a 12 months for a home care aide and much more for a nursing house or assisted residing facility. For many of us, that means that the care we want as we age might be greater than we're able to save via investments or different private sources, making Lengthy-term care insurance a smart funding in our future independence and safety.
Now, add it all up, and the plan I am proposing will price around $900 billion over 10 years – less than we've spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans that Congress passed at first of the earlier administration. (Applause.) Now, most of those prices will probably be paid for with cash already being spent – however spent badly – within the current health care system. The plan won't add to our deficit. The center class will understand larger safety, not higher taxes.
Having an office is another thing the house well being care enterprise proprietor may have. The business workplace has a computer, phone, e-mailing system, fax machine and patient files so the patients or aged can contact the house health care during opening hours. Establish as business checking account and credit card account and apply for business loans if required to meet begin-up prices. Set up a computerized accounting system. The workplace can be where the business owner spends time organizing the funds, creating service plans and prepares for visits that should be made for the following day or week on the highway.
For instance – for example, some have instructed that the general public choice go into effect solely in these markets where insurance companies should not providing affordable insurance policies. Others have proposed a co-op or one other non-profit entity to administer the plan. These are all constructive ideas value exploring. However I can't again down on the essential precept that if Individuals can't discover affordable coverage, we are going to give you a choice. (Applause.) And I'll make sure that no authorities bureaucrat or insurance company bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you simply want. (Applause.)
In 1929, a managed care pioneer by the identify of Dr. Michael Shadid started a cooperative well being plan for rural farmers in Elk City, Oklahoma. The members who enrolled in his plan paid a predetermined price and received medical care from Dr. Shadid. In the identical yr, the Ross-Loos Medical Group was established in Los Angeles, and it provided pay as you go providers to county employees and workers of the city's department of Water and energy. Its members paid a premium of $1.50 a month. In 1982, the Ross-Loos Medical Group got here to be often called CIGNA Healthcare.
However, you may nonetheless meet the homebound definition even if you generally leave your house. You'll be able to depart for medical treatment you can not get at home. You can also go away for non-medical causes, if the trip is occasional and just for a short while. For instance, you www may go to religious providers or to get a haircut. You can also be referred to as homebound when you go to a medical adult day care program. It's because the medical day care programs are thought of medical remedy. You cannot be called homebound should you go to a regular adult day care. What does expert care imply?
The primary function of this position is to generate income, budgeting, workers development, operations management, customer service and preserve quality and productivity ranges. The profitable candidate could have responsibility for customer support and requires recent management expertise in a department workplace setting. Qualifications require a minimum of 3 years latest administration expertise in customer support with confirmed management skill. A confirmed track record of reaching gross sales, expense, and working income budgets and expertise with financial planning and budgeting. Have to be capable of building effective gross sales teams and achieving success in a fast-paced setting. Glorious written and verbal communication skills are required and a Bachelor's degree is most popular.
My best recommendation is to only venture into the house daycare enterprise if you happen to actually like to work with children. It can be arduous to take care of all of the different parents on the market. Your love for the kids will all the time shine through whether it is there to start with. You will need to be ready to advertise and begin the method over every time a toddler must withdraw. Even in case you are a dedicated daycare provider, children will always have to withdraw attributable to moving, lack of jobs, mother and father increasing their family and when the child reaches faculty age. Be prepared for those withdrawals.
The seventh step in on the brink of promote to well being care is knowing the enterprise numbers. This needs to incorporate not only if activity is profitable, but also the lifetime worth of a shopper, common transaction measurement, what number of leads it will take to maintain the business going, and many others. This is extremely crucial if a decrease priced front end services or products has been designed to penetrate the market place, so the back finish needs to be profitable sufficient for this to make mathematical sense. If not, the decrease entrance end worth point will destroy an organization.
Most people going for medical remedy abroad tend to mix journey and tourism along with the medical process. Which means the nation where you go for the treatment has to construct extra resorts to accommodate the ever rising variety of patients cum tourists. The government resorts to deforestation to construct extra hotels and provide higher civil facilities because medical tourism is a means of earning revenue and overseas alternate. In addition, medical tourism can be answerable for contributing to increased air emissions, noise, solid waste and littering, releases of sewage, oil and chemicals, even architectural/visual pollution; all which has unfavourable impact on the atmosphere.
Well being Reimbursement Preparations (HRAs) are health care plans paid for by an employer to reimburse the medical bills of its workers, their spouses, and dependents. HRAs are designed to supply more affected person-directed options, that give staff more choice and larger management over their health care coverage (consumer-driven, or consumer-directed health cna certification care). Mostly, the employer would buy basic medical health insurance coverage for its employees, usually with a excessive deductible. Then the employer would arrange an account (the HRA) that the workers can draw upon to pay routine medical payments, and medical bills not covered by the excessive-deductible coverage.
Present employees, former workers including retirees, their spouses and dependents, and the spouses and dependents of deceased staff, could be lined under an HRA. Former staff and retirees can proceed to obtain medical reimbursements below an HRA even if they don't elect COBRA coverage. The HRA can have a provision allowing former employees or retirees to be reimbursed solely up to the unused reimbursement quantity remaining at the time of retirement or termination, and the HRA also can stipulate that reimbursements after retirement or termination are lowered by the executive prices of continuous the coverage.
Some misinformation concerning the health care law has been specifically aimed at seniors, despite the fact that the regulation largely leaves the Medicare program alone. This explicit claim, that older cancer patients will go with out therapy, is mistaken on several levels. For one thing, the health care legislation didn't make changes nursing school to patient benefits in the Medicare program. Cancer treatment will nonetheless be lined by Medicare. Also, there aren't any changes within the law aimed toward people 76 or older. This claim appears to have been invented out of complete cloth as a scare tactic. We rated it Pants on Fireplace.
Now, I have no interest in placing insurance corporations out of business. They provide a reliable service, and make use of numerous our associates and neighbors. I simply want to hold them accountable. (Applause.) And the insurance reforms that I've already talked about would just do that. However an additional step we will take to maintain insurance coverage firms trustworthy is by making a not-for-revenue public possibility out there in the insurance trade. (Applause.) Now, let me be clear. Let me be clear. It might only be an choice for many who do not have insurance coverage.

I won't lie, it's a little hard to sit here and type...that's how sore my arms are. Sore arms from snowboarding, you ask? Ya, it's probably from eating it one too many times! But, hey, who's complaining :) Loved my little mini vacation with my loved ones. Here's how it went:
We woke up at 3:30 am so this little pistol would sleep the whole way, but we were wrong. How could I sleep with this little face staring me down?
Then we made it and the rest of our days looked like this! (picture overload)

I have been carrying one for years, but only today am I thinking of reviewing it. An every-day-carry knife should not be an impulse-buy. You will use it for countless tasks, from opening letters and boxes to saving your life in an emergency. How many times have I heard "Hey, someone got a knife?" How come you don't have one? Is my answer, as I pull my Emerson Commander out of my jeans pocket. The day you need to cut yourself free of a sinking car, or stop someone from choking you to death, I probably won't be there to hand you mine. A knife is a tool, the simplest one of all, and we have been carrying them since we earned the name "humans." They are as vital today as they were back then. What type of knife to carry? You already know what my favorite is, let's see why.
Folding or fixed blade. Any fixed-blade knife that isn't junk is stronger than a folding one. Your choice might be a legal one. Most states or countries do not allow carrying fixed-blade knives. Open-carry raises eyebrows. My friend Kolyma, who works at a farm was once shopping at Whole Foods with his knife on his belt. He was promptly surrounded by police officers who politely asked him not to carry it in the store, even though it was perfectly legal. Next time you go out, pay attention to the little metal clip of a folding knife on people's pants. Nobody pays attention to that, but many do carry them. The legal limit is usually four inches for the blade, single-edge. If you can carry a strong fixed-blade knife, do it. Otherwise, keep in mind that the most important part of a folder is the lock. Since this article is about folders, let's see what makes a good one.
The lock prevents the knife from folding on your fingers while you use it. These days, because one of America's favorite sports is litigation, folders made in the United States have decent locks for normal use. The same can't be said of cheap imitations from China. Stay away from unknown brands, Ebay deals and dubious cheap folders. Your life or your fingers may never depend on it, but why take the risk. I usually shop from three reputable brands, Emerson, Cold Steel and Spyderco. You can read all about locks and watch a great video on Bob's Knife Town locks page.
The grip: I was once looking for a folder at a Manatee Civic Center gun-show. I came upon a large table full of knives and started handling them one by one to find the best fitting one for my hand. This is where hands-on shopping beats the Internet. The salesman was getting impatient, as I took my sweet time to find the best model. I grabbed an Emerson Mini Commander. Love at first grab! The handle was perfect, both in standard and reverse grip. I had never handled a folder that fit my hand so well. It wasn't only my hand actually, since many friends trying my knife made the same comment. Next came the bad surprise, the $175 price tag. I looked at it more closely. The quality was obvious. The knife is very strongly built and looks like it would survive pretty much anything. Five years ago I had a bad motorcycle accident, and while I lay on the asphalt with a broken femur and dislocated shoulder, someone stole my Mini Commander. As soon as I recovered, I immediately ordered the full-size model. I hear they have a super-size one now, guess what I'm going to buy next.. I also own the Commander Trainer for Systema practice. This knife is worth every penny they charge for it.
The blade will most likely be stainless steel. There is no need for a strong carbon steel blade of less than four inches. I prefer straight edges, as they are easier to sharpen without special tools. Spyderco has nice short, serrated blades like the Co-Pilot (not sure if they still make that one), which I used to carry on flights before 9/11. I unfortunately lost it in the snow near the Lille (France) train station more than a decade ago. The blade should be thick enough to be strong, but thin enough to cut efficiently all the way through. Buying from a reputable brand will assure you that it won't be brittle and keep a decent edge. My Emerson Commander had a chisel grind, meaning that it was ground on one side only. I gave it to a friend once for resharpening, and he suggested to turn it into a regular "V" grind, I agreed. The problem was, 154CM steel is pretty hard, and it took forever to get it to cut again. I finally took it to a grinder and at last, it shaves hair again. Fortunately, Emerson listened to it's customers, and the new Commanders do have a conventional V Grind.
Opening your knife is a very important function. You must be able to open your folder with one hand, left or right. Read my story about having to cut a banner towline during a tricky go-around with an ultralight. I can't emphasize enough that you need to practice pulling your knife out of your pocket and opening it. Practice without looking at it, with your knife in any position in your hand. You must get a feel for it, and get proficient at opening it quickly in any circumstances. The Emerson Commander has the advantage here, with it's wave feature:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/5-Rt_a5aQeo" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Self-defense with a knife is a touchy subject. Never pull your knife out of your pocket unless not doing so will result in your death. That might not always be true, so use your best judgment. I once saw a man pull a knife on another in a bar, when the other guy also pulled his. They then looked at each-other with an expression that said "What the hell are we getting into here.." and they simultaneously pocketed their folders, exchanged a few more insults, and the incident was over. That took but three seconds. The outcome could have been much different, but the fear of injury cooled them down. Whether to draw or not is a difficult decision, most of the time, in my opinion, don't. Training is most important here. Pulling a knife without knowing how to use it is not a wise option. Get some Systema or Filipino martial art instruction, it will be time well spent. Keep in mind that no matter who's right, if you use a knife against an unarmed attacker, you will go to jail. Avoid buying a knife that looks too "tactical" or has a name like "Combat Skinner" or anything aggressive. Avoid black-coating blades. Judges and jury do not like tactical looking weapons. If the Commander came in pink, I might be tempted, just for that reason. A Karambit might be a great weapon, but it isn't anything else. Make sure your knife looks somewhat like a regular pocket knife, not a weapon someone looking for trouble would carry.
My best advise to you is, carry a knife. Buy a good one. Ask one for Christmas, it's coming.. I feel naked if I don't have my knife with me, and never leave the house without it. Many times I was happy to have one for simple tasks that would have been a hassle without it. It sucks not to have one when you need it most. Hopefully you'd never need to defend or save your life with it, but if need be, it should be there for you.

Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002) 6.6/10
DVD Release Date: 1900-01-01
The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra bets against the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, that her people are still great, even if the times of the Pharaohs has long passed. She vows (against all logic) to build a new palace for Caesar within three months. Since all her architects are either busy otherwise or too conservative in style, this ambivalent honor falls to Edifis. He is to build the palace and be covered in gold or, if not, his fate is to be eaten by crocodiles. Edifis calls upon an old friend to help him out: The fabulous Druid Getafix from Gaul, who brews a fantastic potion that gives supernatural strength. In order to help and protect the old Druid, Asterix and Obelix accompany him on his journey to Egypt. When Julius Caesar gets wind of the project succeeding, he has the building site attacked by his troops in order to win the bet and not lose face. But just like the local pirates, he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix.

Blade Runner (1982) 8.2/10

Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young
Death Duel (1977) 6.8/10This martial arts spectacular showcases 20-year-old Erh Tung-sheng (a.k.a. Derek Yee). Even Variety noted: "Erh's charismatic screen presence should take him to superstardom like his older brother, David Chiang." The prediction proved correct, and his performance as ace swordsman Third Master is just what any producer would want. He fights evil, saves damsels in distress (including a kindhearted prostitute played by Chow Yun-fat's first wife, Yu An-an), and duels rival swordsmen to the, well, death.
Genre: Action
Director: Yuen Chor

What books were your childhood favourites?
Once I moved on from picture books, I began to devour old-fashioned adventure stories wholly uncritically: from Swallows and Amazons to Treasure Island to Masterman Ready and The Three Musketeers. I read them at a gallop in order to find out what happened next, and would probably be very surprised to discover what I had missed if I reread them now.
You begin your new book Justice Across Boundaries: Whose Obligations? by considering Robert Frost's 'simple and deep' Mending Wall. Have you a favourite poet?
Recently I've gone back to W. B. Yeats. The 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising provoked fears – widely shared – that commemoration might turn to provocative celebration and damage the still fragile political settlement in Ireland. This sharpened my appreciation of those who refused a century ago to celebrate either war or rebellion. Yeats was pre-eminent among them. In An Irish Airman foresees his Death, he wrote "Nor law, nor duty bade me fight/Nor public men, nor cheering crowds/A lonely impulse of delight/Drove to this tumult in the clouds/I balanced all, brought all to mind/The years to come seemed waste of breath…". And in Easter 1916 he captures both the grandeur and the costs of the rising: "All changed, changed utterly:/A terrible beauty is born". In a world in which those who kill others for political ends are all too often misdescribed as "martyrs", Yeats' austere clarity matters.
Justice Across Boundaries' final chapter discusses bioethics, an area of longstanding interest to you. Whose work would you recommend to the lay reader interested in learning more about the subject?
Nearly all writing in bioethics is about medical treatment that individuals may or should receive, including innovative treatments such as those that deploy new reproductive and genetic technologies and various forms of "human enhancement". I'm more interested in the ethics of public health, which does not aim solely at the treatment of individuals. I have enjoyed Norman Fowler's short and compelling work AIDS: Don't Die of Prejudice, which compares what happened in jurisdictions that took a public health approach with what happened in those that took a moralistic approach to the HIV/Aids crisis: the latter have suffered unnecessary and catastrophic rates of transmission. I also liked the reflective approach of Observing Bioethics by Renée C. Fox and Judith P. Swazey.
You became a life peer in 1999, and thus a politician as well as a political philosopher. Whose writing on politics did you find most useful in this new chapter in your public life?
In reading on politics and economics I look for writers – there aren't enough of them – who combine strong commitment to ideals and principles with tough-minded realism about what it takes to live by those principles. Two books that have impressed me recently are Henry Kissinger's World Order: Reflections on the Character of Nations and the Course of History and Colin Mayer's Firm Commitment: Why The Corporation is Failing Us and How To Restore Trust in It. Kissinger is deeply thoughtful about what it really takes to secure even a quite imperfect peace, and Mayer diagnoses the real economic costs of institutions whose only aim is the simple-minded pursuit of the bottom line.
Which recent works of fiction have you, as a philosopher, found most fulfilling and challenging?
At present all too many books that are not classified as fiction are filled with fictions – very often with standardised and irritating fictions. I find myself weary of writing that is predicated on fictitious views of individual autonomy; fictitious views about well-ordered preferences; fictitious views of the possibility of achieving perfection in policy and politics; and many other fictions. Novels can be a way of avoiding irritating fictions, and I enjoy those of Colm Tóibín, Julian Barnes and Sebastian Barry, and Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin.
What was the last book you gave as a gift, and to whom?
Recent presents include Mary Beard's SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome for a classicist son, and Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals for a 10-year-old granddaughter who loves drawing animals.
What books are you presently reading, or are on your desk waiting to be read?
As usual I have a number of partly read philosophy books waiting for the fuller attention they need. At present, they include Rudolf A. Makkreel's Orientation and Judgment in Hermeneutics, Reidar Maliks' Kant's Politics in Context and Kenneth R. Westphal's How Hume and Kant Reconstruct Natural Law. During the past 15 years, I have found Immanuel Kant's late political writings deeply absorbing and it is exciting to find this enthusiasm increasingly widely shared.

As I mentioned in my last post, bringing your own device (BYOD) provides a benefit to businesses that need work done, but don't have the money to purchase the equipment. But there was a caveat, that benefit must be weighed against the risk the business assumes by allowing BYOD.
Second to the businesses employees, the most valuable asset a company has is their information and the information they process. This information is what is at risk if there happens to be vulnerability that is exploited (intentionally or unintentionally) by an employee or other person that gets there hands on the device.
Some threats that pose dangers to your data is
1. Malware/Viruses/Spyware. Introduction of malware, viruses, and spyware into the company IT infrastructure could have a crippling effect on your business. The latest malware also known as ransomware encrypts the data on the users device and there by prevents the user from gaining access to the files needed. If a BYOD user gets hit with ransomware while connected to the business' files, the business may be out of luck.
2. Lost/Stolen device. Perhaps the largest threat. The Veteran's Administration is no stranger to lost portable electronic devices. In 2006 they lost a single laptop that contained a significant amount of information about U.S. veterans. It has not only happened to the Veteran's Administration but also to car manufacturers, HR recruiting companies, etc. Once the device is lost, the data is potentially forever lost and possibly compromised.
3. Rooted devices. Device manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure some level of security on the devices they sell. But there are people that want more access to the inner workings of the device. The super power users inadvertently open their device to being an easier target for malware and misbehaving applications.
4. Outdated software. Numerous times each week, updates and patches to software applications are released to fix flaws within the application that not only affect how the application works, but also affect the security of the device and data.
5. Open WiFi. In this day and age, most are desiring the ability to be able to connect anywhere at anytime. Look at all the places that offer free or pay WiFi… airport, coffee shops, stores, restaurants, just about anywhere you go. When connecting to these WiFi sources, the connections are typically unprotected. Another person at the same coffee shop could snoop on the mobile device's traffic and get all sorts of information. Maybe even get into the computer.
6. Unlocked devices. Locking the device provides a minimal measure of security. This prevents people from picking up the device and scrolling through documents, emails, or other files related to your business. It is a simple mechanism, but is often not implemented.
This just a summary of some of the larger threats associated with BYOD. In my next blog entry, we will look at what can be done to protect a business while still implementing BYOD.
Until then… Think twice and perform a cyber 360.

Manifest Destiny is known as the combination of nationalism and expansionism in the 1840's Everyone decided to move out west. (Westernization) The Westward expansion did not start with Manifest Destiny, it started with the Louisiana Purchase.
The practice of a successful political party giving public office to their supporters. It all started with Andrew Jackson's "loyalty" to his friends. (What is he a dog or something?) In short- he spoiled his friends by kicking out the old party members and placing his friends in office. (Favoritism to the max)
The development of the industry world. Industrialization is close to modernization, urbanization and other words with ization at the end. Without Industrialization we wouldn't have pretty much anything we have today and I wouldn't be making this presentation.
Union- No slaves (free the people) Confederacy- Keep the slaves They fight and the Lincoln frees the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation. (Four score and seven years ago blah blah blah) Confederate states -Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Union states- Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, California, Nevada, and Oregon.
The first military plan offered to Lincoln crushing the rebellion of Southern states was devised by Union general Winfield Scott. Started April 1st 1861 and ended in May. It didn't go through but it was reoffered.
After Atlanta dropped out of the war the Confederates headed west into Alabama and Tennessee and attacked the Union supply lines. George Thomas took 60,000 troops to meet the Confederates in Nashville.
January 1st, 1863 President Lincoln issued his most famous speech starting with "Four Score and Seven years ago� This speech was a direct order to free slaves and give them their freedom. Had a huge political outcome that many did not like.
Born to a war hero Henry Lee on January 19th 1807 He won 7 wars. Chancellorsville, Cold Harbor, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, The Wilderness, Seven Days Battles, Second Manassas. Died October 12th 1870.
counterbalancing influences by which an organization or system is regulated, typically those ensuring that political power is not concentrated in the hands of individuals or groups. No branch of government can be bigger than the other. President has the final power of yes or no when passing a bill.
Freedom of speech, religion, and to have a peaceful meeting Congress can't stop people from having and carrying weapons, even though they're trying. You don't have to let soldiers live in your house like we did back then. Unless someone that lives with you is a soldier. Then that doesn't really apply.
Nobody can search or your house or your papers and stuff unless they can prove to a judge that they have a good reason to think you have committed a crime.
You can't be tried for any serious crime without a Grand Jury meeting first to decide whether there's enough evidence for a trial and if the Jury thinks you're guilty you cannot be tried for it again. DOUBLE JEAPORDY
If you're arrested, you have a right to have your trial and the government can't keep you in jail without trying you. The trial has to be public, so everyone knows what is happening. The case has to be decided by a jury of ordinary people from your area. You have the right to know what you are accused of, to see and hear the people who are witnesses against you to have the government help you get witnesses on your side and you have the right to a lawyer to help you. You also have the right to a jury when it is a civil case
Your bail must be reasonable and no unusual punishments Just because these rights are listed in the Constitution doesn't mean that you don't have other rights too. Anything that the Constitution doesn't say that Congress can do should be left up to the state or to the people.

In his new book, "America in Retreat," Bret Stephens tells a story about Pakistan. After the country was rocked by floods in 2010, "a conspiracy theory that made the rounds in the Pakistani media held that it was the doing of a weather-controlling device based in Alaska," he writes.
A weather-controlling device.
Turn the dial one way, and deliver rain in Pakistan. Turn it another, and deliver drought elsewhere. It's been the dream of would-be dictators for centuries. "Pay us what we demand, or we'll destroy your economy!" the person at the controls of such an invention could insist.
Luckily, it's an impossible dream.
The climate, as everyone knows, is simply too large and fluid to be controlled by a single machine. Still, you don't have to go all the way to Pakistan to find people who think that Americans are controlling the weather.
"You have fires, you have droughts," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy tells USA Today. Humans, she hints, are to blame for these disasters. That's supposedly the reason Americans need to reduce our carbon output.
As weather patterns change, McCarthy adds, Americans will bear the burden. "This is about their own jobs, their own health, their own kids," she says.
According to this narrative, the American economy itself is a vast weather-controlling machine. The carbon we emit as we manufacture products, as we generate energy, and as we drive to work goes into the atmosphere and causes fires in some places, droughts in others.
The difference is that, unlike the Pakistani fantasy machine in Alaska, nobody is actually controlling this weather machine. The machine is simply running amok, causing environmental destruction and endangering our nation and our planet.
EPA's reaction to this unintentional machine is a bit different, too. Instead of insisting you pay up, it insists its moves will pay off.
"Every time that EPA has moved forward on a major law, industry or others have raised concerns, some of them in ways that I don't think are really as honest about what the rule looks like," McCarthy told USA Today. "In the end, when you move, they run and they make money off it. It's going to be the same here."
There's no doubt Americans will make money, no matter what happens. We've been doing so since we were British colonists, existing on the edge of a vast, untamed continent.
The question is: Will we make money doing productive things such as fracking? Or will we do it by finding ways to appease the EPA administrators who think they're at the controls of Washington's vast weather machine? Our national future hinges on the answer.

August 29, 2104--Best of Behind: Velcro Parents
It is still a few days until Labor Day, the traditional end of summer, but already things are getting quieter here on the coast of Maine where many families have been vacationing.
Especially noticeable is the thinning out of the wait staffs at restaurants in the area. They depend on college students during the summer and now clearly older crews are struggling to cover more tables.
Schools for students of all ages are starting their fall terms earlier and earlier. To extend the school year for youngsters in an effort to provide more instruction than in the past; and, in the case of colleges, to get the semester's work done by Christmas so that students do not have to return after the holidays to finish their classes and take their exams.
This means that they, frequently with the help of their parents, have to head off to campus in late August with SUVs loaded with the things college kids these days squeeze into their undersized dorm rooms. I am showing my age, but when I went to college there were no computers and printers, microwave ovens, or stuffed animals and all sorts of non-allergic pillows. Just a bag or two of clothing.
But in addition to what undergraduates transport with them these days, they also, in more and more cases, bring their parents along with them. Not just to help with all the stuff but also to share the college-going experience.
As a result, an increasing number of colleges are concerned about what some refer to as "over-parenting." They are for the most part happy to see an increase in parental involvement--and in response many colleges have opened offices of Parents Affairs to manage and take advantage of this increased interest. But they are also concerned that things for some are getting out of hand. So many parents, they feel, are hovering too close and pressing for more involvement than colleges feel is good for their students that they are instituting practices to help parents and their children go through the adjustment required when a youngster enters college.
After all, they say, college is supposed to be a major step toward young people becoming independent. To help facilitate the letting-go, some colleges have added activities and even ceremonies to wean parents from over-involvement, especially during freshman orientation.
According to the New York Times, Morehouse College in Atlanta now has a formal "Parting Ceremony." After introductory speeches attended by both students and parents at an off-campus chapel, freshman march through the gates of the campus which then are ceremonially closed with parents both literally and symbolically left outside. Emotionally difficult to be sure, but college officials feel it is necessary to help with the complicated transition.
At Grinnell, move-in day for freshmen was last Saturday; and after duffel bags and iPods were dropped off at the dorms, students and parents were invited to the gymnasium where they were placed on opposite sets of bleachers. According to the vice president for student affairs this was designed to be "an aha! moment, an epiphany where parents realize. 'My student is feeling more comfortable sitting with 400 people they just met.'" And then, after that hoped-for epiphany, parents are encouraged to leave campus.
At the University of Minnesota the same goal is being pursued but a bit more subtly and gently. There, when students are finished moving into their dorm rooms, they proceed to orientation activities that are just for them (at many places some parents insist on accompanying their children to these) while parents are invited to a reception held elsewhere.
But in some dramatic instances, after the colleges have done their carefully-orchestrated thing, so-called Velcro Parents manage to find ways to stay deeply involved with their children. Some go so far as to rent or buy apartments near where their kids are enrolled and travel there every weekend. As surprising as it may seem, many children of these parents seem to be happy with this arrangement, even bringing friends along to hang out with their parents and, of course, do their laundry.
School administrators and sociologists are struggling to figure out what is going on. Some say it's because adolescence is continuing longer than in the past--perhaps extending well into children's 20s. Others are saying that parents are living vicariously through their children and, in effect, going to college as if walking in their footsteps. It is also speculated that this is a class-based phenomenon--that it is only middle-class and affluent parents who can afford to do this and/or feel sufficiently comfortable on college campuses to spend so much time there with their children.
Whatever is going on, when I went to college I recall being dropped off on Manhattan's Amsterdam Avenue by my double-parking parents. I think they didn't even accompany me to my dorm room. I schlepped the bags up there myself. They were involved and loving parents and certainly had very mixed feelings about my going off to college, realizing how big a step it was for me and them. But they also knew that if I was to get the most from the experience I needed to do more of it on my own than many today appear to feel.

The Gift- a poem
The Gift
By Tony DeLorger © 2011
Bound I am to this our fractious world,
prone to ride it bare-backed and vulnerable.
Seeking not to tame the beast,
but rather live through it with open eyes.
Five score and seven years of thrashing,
and still the bruises remain.
Intent to not be blinded by the show,
I cling to the strap relentlessly trying to vision the blur of life passing.
How weary I have been,
wanting to let go and suffer the consequence.
But my soul will not abide,
needing the nourishment of understanding.
So here I cling to life, ever vigilant,
hoping the beast will simply relent, find a green pasture.
How often I think it so, to be then wrenched back to the ride,
the beast more determined as ever to unseat me.
Sometimes I want to see the blur for what it is,
delve into its sweet perfection and experience.
But when I do its clarity is confused,
its reality layered too deeply to conceive.
I cling for the sake of me, what I can accomplish,
my vague visions of some essence and truth.
I cling for the sake of living unlived,
that I may miss a second of this calamity called life,
this irreplaceable gift of experience.

There will however, be other times when brands will be challenged by new competitors, ignored in favour of other brands, become outdated, miss the message and struggle to stand out. At this point we can step in to re-invigorate the brand – maximising relevance and cut through.
We've helped many clients at times of transition to help them take their brand to the next level and reposition themselves to continue on to the next upward curve. From start-ups who have needed to review their identity and positioning to be taken more seriously, to established brands in crowded categories looking to establish themselves as the default consumer choice.

Any business whether its small business or medium business or large business, if they want to reach their maximum target audience and appease their expectations and demand, will require a mobile app. This is because now smart phones are really popular and mobile browsing and mobile shopping is at an all-time high. The client is a small business which promises fresh fishes at affordable prices in places around their business location. Their main customers were working class people, who will purchase fish when they leave for home after office. To satisfy their target customers, the client provides pickup and home delivery functionalities. They planned to take their business to a new level and way above their competitors in the area. They wanted to serve more customers and at a faster rate to save customer time. For that they decided to provide custom mobility solutions for their business. So they were looking for a small business mobile app development company, who can develop the mobile app along with the backend system at an affordable price.
The client wanted to have a mobile app for their customers, which is easy to use for the customer and also will enable them to serve their customers better and at a faster. Their main aim with this app was to provide a tool for their customers to browse the available items for today, see the price, select the quantity to order and select the pickup time or the home delivery option. The user will be able to purchase fish from anywhere, even when they are travelling and can also track the status of their order. It is also important for the app to get the necessary information on a daily and timely basis like inventory and price for a particular day from the backend.
The expert team from Schogini made a careful analysis of the requirements and arrived upon a simple yet elegant design with all the features incorporated. The backend was developed in AngularJS framework and the mobile apps were created using the native mobile technologies. The main focus was given on the ease of use. The application did include fetching images and data from the cloud along with a backend web system for the client's team to see and process orders. A reminder system was also put in place to alert the client's team when the pickup or delivery time was near.
With the completion of all the features in the small business mobile app development with cloud backend, the client now has the best in the class mobile solution. The client saved quite a lot of time on each order via the mobile app, which in-turn made it possible for them to serve more customers. The customer convenience and satisfaction increased by a great deal, there by increasing the customer retainership. Because of all these, the overall revenue of the client has considerably gone up.

71% Of Dems Say Hillary Should Keep Running EVEN IF SHE'S INDICTED
According to a new poll from Rasmussen, a majority of Democrats believe Hillary Clinton should continue running for president, even if she's indicted over the current FBI investigation.
Take a look:
50% Say Clinton Should Keep Running Even If Indicted
Most continue to believe likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is a lawbreaker, but half of all voters also say a felony indictment shouldn't stop her campaign for the presidency.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters think Clinton should immediately stop campaigning if she is charged with a felony in connection with her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of State. Fifty percent (50%), however, think she should continue running until a court determines her guilt or innocence.
Voters were evenly divided on this question in January, but at that time we didn't include the name of any candidate.
Among Democratic voters, 71% believe Clinton should keep running, a view shared by only 30% of Republicans and 46% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
The poll also found this among all voters:
Sixty-five percent (65%) consider it likely that Clinton broke the law by sending and receiving e-mails containing classified information through a private e-mail server while serving as secretary of State.
Hillary's actions are going to catch up with her sooner or later.
Hopefully, by November of this year.

We were on a call today discussing the changing landscape in social media and web media in general. Suffice it to say, it was a pretty interesting discussion. If you're not aware, the major social media networks have been criticized in recent months for censorship of conservative voices. Other web media giants, like Google, have also been accused of similar practices in content prioritization recently. The basic assertion by those affected is that the politics of the these web media giants is trumping free speech, free expression and free dialog.
While concerns over censorship began with the far right, mainstream conservatives have also expressed frustration and dissatisfaction with the policies and practices of the major web media companies as of late. Surprisingly, even voices on the left, like Bruce A. Dixon, are starting to express concern that specific political narratives are driving what people see in their Facebook / Twitter feeds and Google / Bing / YouTube search results.
As a result of the growing backlash, a number of promising social media startups have cropped up recently. They aren't necessarily catering to conservatives. Rather, they're building platforms that are firmly rooted on 1st Amendment principles. It seems the free market also favors our basic freedoms. They're starting to get attention in from venture capital world too.
Gab, a direct competitor to Twitter, launched in August of 2016. It recently raised nearly $500,000 through the crowdfunding platform StartEngine. Reports suggest that Gab's membership base is ramping up fast. Consequently, VC's are starting to look for other promising startups in the in the web media arena.
In late August of this year, a new social media platform called InfinitySN will launch. Their business model is designed to attack Facebook with a vengeance. As one InfinitySN insider stated today, their aim is "to turn Facebook into the modern day MySpace" by 2020. One of their founders had an interesting (and historically accurate) perspective on their chances of success. To paraphrase, "It doesn't necessarily pay to be first to market. Others learn from your mistakes, build a better product, and push you out of the category."
Athough there has been a little buzz on social media discussing InfinitySN and what their promising to deliver, it appears the startup is waiting until launch to hype the product through traditional PR channels. They're currently flying under the radar screen and seem to be banking on the fact that growing dissatisfaction with the social media behemoths by the general public, combined with positive word of mouth, will fuel interest in the platform.
InfinitySN started as a social media platform for the Colorado community. They saw an opportunity to expand their market, retooled and will launch globally August 29th. It'll be interesting to see if InfinitySN will live up to the hype we heard on the call. That said, we left the call scratching our heads and wondering why it's taken so long for a serious competitor to enter this market?
You can read an old press release from InfintySN relating to their Colorado launch here.

Since the decline of Google Reader, I have tried a few RSS feed readers before settling on the iPhone app, "Newsify" to perform the same function to curate my appetite for wine related content. A limitation of Newsify (and RSS feed readers in general) is that I just end up reading stories without really interacting with them. This coupled with my tendency not to comment particularly much, means that I read many good wine related articles without really letting the authors know I have done exactly that. Facebook's "like button" can help fill this space, but equally, it would be kind to say more and a "thanks, that was good/interesting" button would suffice for a lot of scenarios! I managed to work out how to put a Facebook like button on grapeobserver.com posts, but it's fair to say it took learning some html code, and it probably shouldn't be that hard.
A second tendency is that the wine media I follow gets trapped in the app (which no doubt is its sneaky point), and I am not sharing effectively. To that end, I've updated my links on grapeobserver.com to wine resources to pickup a few new wine blogs I've been reading in the last while (and in some cases for quite some time). Here are the (new) links I've added in no particular order (well, alphabetical order actually, but you get my drift): Bonnezeauxgonzo, C'est La Vino, Artisan Wine on a Budget, Dermot's Wine Blog, Dispatches from a Grape Nut, Wine Anorak, Lewin on Wine, Perth Wine Enthusiast, Rockss and Fruit, Sediment, Travelling Corkscrew, Vineyard Paul and Vinonotebook. No doubt there are many more. More generally, a few wine blogs seem to stand on their own with no particular reference to others (not sure if this is a new tendency?) which seems just a little bit hermetic. I think wine is best shared and get great value from reading and learning from others' contributions.
Some new reading

Wanting's Debut Album 'Everything In The World' Goes Platinum In China In Its First Week!
Watch the lyric video for "我的歌声里 (You Exist In My Song)," a track recorded in Wanting's native tongue of Mandarin, from her debut album Everything In The World.
Vancouver-based, Chinese-born artist Wanting has gone Platinum in China in just one week with her debut album, Everything In The World, which Universal Music China (via a licensing deal with Nettwerk) released on July 5th. Though based in Canada, Wanting has spent the past few years building a rabid online following via Chinese YouTube, and most recently had the song "Drenched" from her debut album prominently featured in the Chinese indie-flick Love In The Buff.
Nettwerk CEO Terry McBride (who also personally manages this rising talent) comments on Wanting's success in China: "Everything In The World is an album three years in the making. Wanting delivered an authentic and heartfelt album that I believed would not only resonate with her generation, but would also transcend language boundaries and talk to a worldwide audience. It was essential that we had the right partners in China to deliver this album properly, and we found that in Universal Music China."
Everything In The World was released via Nettwerk Records in North America on April 24, and her unique story quickly caught the attention of the CBC flagship nightly news program The National.
Watch The National's segment on Wanting here: http://bit.ly/MkOYS4.
Keep reading for more information on Wanting and her upcoming appearances at various Chinese music festivals...
Whether penned in her native tongue of Mandarin or English (which she only learned to speak at age 16), Wanting's piano-swept music continues to win over the masses because her compositions—pop musings that plumb emotion—resonate universally.
Wanting will continue to support her album in China with appearances at multiple festivals, where she'll perform for up to 40,000 attendees. Stay tuned for updates on North American tour plans.
Wanting upcoming tour dates across China:
Sunday, July 15 @ Nanjing Music Festival Conference
Friday, July 20 @ Shanghai Zebra Music Festival
Friday, Aug 24 @ Nanjing Wutong Music Festival
Saturday, Aug 25 @ Beijing Changyang Music Festival
Wednesday, Sept 5 @ Kitec (Hong Kong)
Thursday, Sept 6 @ Changsha Juzhou Festival

This month is looking to become the second in a row to exceed last year's (same month) dividends. For now we're looking at at least a 7% increase as compared to June 2016. Also are the Adsense and penny-item-thrift-shop-sales continuous in flow rate and direction (so far). You find me in a very happy mood indeed!
Where this blog sometimes celebrates the payment of only a few cents in dividends, another item to add may be the adsense income from both this website as well as some youtube channels I have been populating over the past few years. No big bucks obviously, but a monthly encouragement for the effort.
Youtube is great, tape and upload once and the remainder of forever these videos will pay out a tiny bit. I've been a youtube partner for years now and my videos (in total I believe there's about 150 individual ones uploaded) range from 28 seconds till 5 and-a-bit-minutes. The cumulative revenue has totalled up as far as 150+ euro's ever since 2014 (indeed, peanuts, but still each payment is one). Talking about passive income passion. A separate section in the monthly reports will make note of any Adsense monetizations starting today.
For now, let's have a look at how much I was paid this week, without so much as stretching my legs! This week' s an easy one again, only my USD stocks sprinkled some cash. The table below gives the share names and quantities owned. More visually engaged people can enjoy the graphics further down the road.
