How sad that Stephen Hawking struggles at interviews, has a flippant comment about women ('a complete mystery') widely reported, and lacks consistency in expressing belief or not in time travel via Black Holes/wormholes.
Stephen Hawking's problem is being no physicist while his mathematics of BHs (black holes) has shaky foundations. In 1970 with Roger Penrose, he constructed an elegant topological argument on the premise of a trapped surface taken from the 1939 solution of Oppenheimer and Snyder. Unfortunately this trapped surface arises from an erroneous fit of inner and outer solutions by O&S and is not a property of the Einstein field equation. Going for topological arguments also overlooked the warning of O&S that it's impossible for a singularity to develop in a finite time – the slowing of local time in high gravity means a Black Hole never forms.
The Black Hole idea led Hawking to the 'information loss paradox' and evaporation of mini-BHs, but he never addressed the shaky basis. Moreover, his predicted 'Hawking' radiation depends on uncertain quantum uncertainty. Criticisms and alternative approaches to the Einstein equations are growing in cogency, since Abhas Mitra (1999), Logunov et al. (2006), Marshall (2007), Mitra (2010) and Marshall (2011), with the latter finding an explicit solution for zero-pressure spherical collapse ever more slowly towards a shell of matter.
Though Hawking has spoken of winning the Nobel prize, the contradictions between causal physics and his maths look insuperable.

You could be a driver wanting to document your season on the finest materials, a race-organiser wanting a more dynamic image portfolio or a team looking for someone to really get to know you and capture your essence.
In reality, you want all of these things, whichever one of the above you are.
You have come to the right place, welcome.
about me
With a number of years spent 'on the bank' as a British Motorsport Marshals Club member and active volunteer, I learnt a great deal about motorsport, team dynamics and priorities, car dynamics and a great deal about trackside and pit-lane safety.
Being a Marshal gave me access to the spots photographers could go but not the general public and I started to learn my craft. It wasn't long before my two passions collided and I won my first client who raced an AF Corse Ferrari 458 GT3 in the highly competitive British GT Series.
That first year consolidated my thinking and gave me a vision that was to work with people (drivers, teams, organisers) who wanted something different, something dynamic, something creative from someone who was dedicated to making it happen for them.
I continually develop my style to ensure the images I create are constantly improving and challenge myself each event to find a new approach. Part of that approach was to develop a focus for my business, it has resulted in me developing a service that is not common in motorsport.
I create products that provide my clients with stunning, lasting, tactile pieces that will be viewed time and again.
In the digital age where print has been forgotten, I have embraced print and forged strong relationships with the finest print suppliers in the industry so if you are looking for a one-off piece, or an incredible 'Opus' I have the design skills and print contacts to present you with a product that you will be proud to show friends an family years after the event.
The 2018-19 FIA WEC Super Season is here and it promises to be an absolute blinder and as for SRO's immense Blancpain GT Series this is going to be an extremely exciting year.
Working closely with car manufacturers to understand their brand identity, design philosophy and customer base, I pride myself on delivering images and packages that help set a new standard in exceeding customer expectations.
the Road trip
As well as working closely with manufacturers in controlled studio environments, I also have extensive experience of location shooting on open and closed roads and a range of tools and techniques to maximise return on investment.
I work as an integral part of the team to make sure that all the beauty and drama of the road trip is captured for the participants. I like to blend into the background to get great reportage images, be strapped into the back of an SUV to get great tracking shots and be seen hanging out of windows through cities, forests and seashores!
I love it

New Fitbits, eh?
That's right, pal – as of today, the company's line-up of activity trackers is two wristbands stronger, thanks to the unveiling of the Fitbit Flex 2 and Charge 2.
I think I heard about these already…
There've been some leaks recently, so their launch isn't a huge shock, but at least now we know what they offer, straight from the horse's mouth.
Tell me about the Charge 2, then – just an update of the original Charge?
Not really; this one has quite a bit more about it on the feature front. While the original Charge could only track basic activity and sleep, the Charge 2 also offers continuous PurePulse heart rate tracking, guided breathing sessions (to help you chill out and reduce stress and anxiety), and offers a snapshot of your cardio health, which it compiles by checking your heart rate, exercise data and user profile.
It also sports a screen that is four times larger than that of its predecessor, which makes it easier to see and interact with (it's tap-compatible); while not an actual smartwatch, the Charge 2 is something of a halfway house, because it shows notifications from a connected smartphone, as well as the time.
And the Flex 2?
It's big thing? It's small. 30 percent smaller than the first Flex, in fact, and a sleek wristband with a tracker that can be removed to make it even lighter and easier to wear. The styling is a major focus, in fact, with Fitbit offering stainless steel and gold-plated wristbands and partnering with major designers in order to offer a wide variety of Flex 2 "looks".
But what about its tracking?
It's a much simpler device than the Charge 2, with basic exercise tracking and not heart rate monitor. It does, however, track swimming activity (helpfully, it's waterproof to 50m), including laps, duration and calories burned. It also reminds you to move periodically (because let's face it, you need nagging), and shows your daily goals progress by displaying a line of LEDs.
And when can I buy these fit new Fitbits?
Soon. Both trackers are available on "pre-sale" now, with the Charge 2 priced from £130 and the Flex 2 from £80 with a regular wristband.

C. S. Lewis Quotes
"'Good English' is whatever educated people talk; so that what is good in one place or time would not be so in another."
"'The Lion' all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, 'Let's try to make a story about it.'"
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
"A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride."
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
"Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don't implement promises, but keep them."
"Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn't mean anything else."

I will admit, it was rather luminous standing outside the collapsing Music Business that I called home for over 30 years, and wondering, what the hell am I going to do now?
Now I knew I wanted to start my own company but I had only been in Corporate America. And because of this, I knew what I new and I didn't know what I didn't know. A blessing and a curse because all at once it was all up to me. And so started my journey towards the creation, building and running of a company, my company.
I made my first Vision Board in January 2009 , the first year of my new world.
A Vision Board has proven to be a great tool to keep me on my path. It is filled with pictures that represent my life's goals, personal, professional and creative. It's all the things that make me happy. My dreams in living color, on display every day .
There is no one way to make a vision board. That is up to you. You can use a board any size, shape or color. You can put pictures in a box. You can make a scrapbook or you can frame it. Just make it. Pour yourself into it and then put it in a place that you will frequently walk by, so that it is sure to serve as a constant reminder of the method to your own madness
Give yourself a hand in knowing and remembering where you are going.

My name is Marie Bostwick. I'm a wife to one, mother to three, and grandmother to five. I'm also a New York Times and USAToday bestselling author of seventeen works of uplifting women's and historical fiction, with more in the works, and this is a big, big day for me!
Over a year ago, I bought a domain name and started dreaming about writing and creating something I felt was missing from the blogosphere, a blog for women like me. What do I mean by "women like me"?
Women who are over fifty and happy about it. Really.
There was a time in my life when it was hard to imagine myself even being fifty, let alone being happy about it. As a teenager, I sort of pictured myself getting to twenty-six and holding. Back then I believed that passing the mid-twenty mark meant hitting my prime, finally understanding the world and my place in it.
Boy, was I ever wrong! Sure, my skin looked great but everything inside it was one big, confused, uncertain mess. Much of my twenties were spent second guessing my every move and trying to make everyone I met like me. It was exhausting.
Okay, sure. There are times when I miss my twenty-something face; I admit it. But I see this as part of the cosmic trade-off. Knowing all I know now and having my old face just wouldn't be fair. I mean, the scales can only tip so far in one direction without falling over, right? Seriously, apart from my formerly flawless skin, you couldn't pay me to be twenty-six again.
During my thirties, I was somewhat less confused but I too busy herding kids and driving carpool to care. My forties were hectic as well, taken up with parenting teens and trying to carve out a career path. However, I was definitely more comfortable in my own skin by then and starting to see signs that maybe, just maybe, the day was approaching when I really would hit my stride and come into my own.
In my fifties, I realized those signs were spot-on. Turning fifty truly was a turning point for me, a good one. That's why I decided to start this blog because, contrary to the bill of goods that society in general and fashion magazines in particular, tried to sell me in my youth, fifty is far from the end of the line. In a lot of ways, it feels like the beginning.
For most of us, those first five decades feel like something of an apprenticeship, a time of training and testing so we'll finally be able to live up to our unique potential and unleash it upon an unsuspecting world. At long last, rehearsal is over. The curtain is going up, the play is about to begin, and the woman with the smile lines at the corners of her mouth and the whisper of wisdom in her eyes has been cast in a pivotal role.
Because this is our moment, yours and mine, our time to shine. We're not fading, we're fierce!
The mission of FierceBeyond50.com is to empower women to make the most of their maturity, achieve their full potential, and build a meaningful legacy for good by illustrating, sharing, and celebrating what it means fierce and beyond fifty.
Believe me, there is a LOT to celebrate!
Being fierce beyond fifty means embracing adventure and the opportunity to travel and collect new experiences. It means expanding your mind by reading new books and engaging in conversation with people who stimulate your intellect and encourage you to explore differing viewpoints and new ideas. It means tapping into your creativity through arts and crafts, transforming your home into a place of respite and hospitality for yourself and others, and experiencing nature with fresh eyes.
Envisioning the future is another part of being fierce, looking at where you are this year and imagining where you'd like to be next year, or in ten years, or beyond, creating a roadmap for achieving your professional, vocational, or financial goals, and shaping the legacy you'll leave behind.
Being fierce beyond fifty means loving the body you have now by achieving optimal levels of personal health and fitness, enjoying healthy, delicious recipes designed for grownup palates, and finding fashion and beauty tips that will enhance your unique style and let you like the person you see in the mirror.
Being fierce beyond fifty means cherishing your relationships and nurturing your soul, two things that go hand-in-hand. Why? Because you are wiser today than you've ever been. On this day, at this moment, you have seen more, done more, and experienced more than you ever have at any point in your life. That means you have more to offer than ever before.
Being fierce and beyond fifty means you have so much of value to share with your family, friends, community, and world. And you should! The world isn't exactly oversupplied with wisdom these days, is it? So what right have you to hold back yours? Not necessarily through what you say as by how you live, the example you set, your beliefs and how you act upon them, the manner in which you seek out hope and healing for yourself and others, especially in the way you keep growing, learning, reaching, and becoming all you were created to be.
If fierce, beyond fifty, and far from finished describes you, then you're in the right place, at the optimal time, with the ideal set of traveling companions.
Every message, word, and image of this blog has been designed with you in mind. It's a sisterhood – a safe space to celebrate, share, and stretch yourself to do and be all you can in this amazing season of life.
Our door is always open so I hope you'll visit often. Better yet, add your email to our list. That way, you'll never miss a post and have access to special subscriber-only content, offers, gifts, and newsletters. Be sure to invite your friends too – the more, the merrier!
Once again, welcome. This is going to be a grand adventure. And one hundred percent fierce!

Wow! I just couldn't believe it that in 10 days time I will be celebrating my blogoversary! Which also means that I will be turning 4 years in the blogland! Yay! Praise God for this wonderful blessing! Although I admit I have been so slack in postings the past couple of months due to being busy around the house (cause I still believe that family comes first!) :) I'm still thankful that YOU, my dear followers, never get tired of visiting my blog and following me and leaving me inspiring comments. Actually, even if I don't get comments on my cards or postings, I'm still happy because I was able to share things that I enjoyed creating --- my cards!
The mere fact that my counter gets a bigger number each time only means that someone's taking time to visit my blog either by chance or by searching for something via Google, it doesn't matter really. I'm happy to know that someone spends time looking at my cards or projects and find inspiration from them. Thanks very much!
To all my followers and visitors, thank you very, very much! And as my way of saying thank you, I will come up with a BLOGOVERSARY CANDY as a small treat! Stay tuned for it.
Thanks once again and may God bless us all!
a place where you can find my scrapbook pages, cards, altered projects and DIY crafts that I have created. I'm learning a lot in the process and enjoying the outcome of my creativity that God has bestowed upon me that's why I want to share it with you. GOD gets all the credit for these. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you're having a productive day on your side of the world. :) Just want to share with you a card (and another card) which I made for a friend who will be attending a baby shower this weekend. I haven't done any baby shower card so this one's all new to me ---- it's my first! :)
Here's aother shot:
My friend doesn't know the gender of her cousin's baby so I decided to use colours that's neutral for a baby boy or a baby girl. The dp that I used is from DCWV Nana's Nursery (Boys).
Here's a closer shot:
God bless us all!

North Korean refugees have striking stories of the hardships they have endured and what their difficult lives were like in North Korea. "Mrs. Jo's" story stands apart to many of us who have heard story after story of the suffering that has occurred amidst North Korean refugees. She lost all three of her children to starvation. But her will to survive and thrive are unlike anything we've seen.
North Korea suffered one of the worst famines in human history in the late '90s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country began to flounder. North Korea launched a PR campaign called "Let's eat two meals a day" in 1991 to convince its people to eat less to ease the government's burden of feeding its country. By the late '90s, the country was awash in starvation. It was common to see dead bodies lining the roads and piled in train stations, according to the accounts of North Korean refugees in our care. The death toll from starvation reached seven figures.
Mrs. Jo lived through these times and like many loyal citizens of the communist country, she did her best to keep the country going. In 1998, as the country was deep in the throes of the famine, she lost her 16-year-old daughter to starvation. Later the same year, her husband died of a liver disease. The hospitals did not have the medicine or manpower to treat him.
In 1999 she lost another son. Later that year her last child, a boy, wasted away in her arms as she sat on the floor of her home. He told Mrs. Jo that he wished to eat one bowl of white rice before he died.
"Yes, my son," Mrs. Jo said. "I will go to the market and sell my shirt and buy you a bowl of rice."
He slipped into unconsciousness and when he came to, he smiled, touched the button on her shirt and breathed his last.
Mrs. Jo hadn't eaten in 15 days, she said. But she knew then that she had to leave her homeland or she too would perish. When she made it to a border city in North Korea, she was at the brink of death.
A boy around the age of 11 found her and bought her a bowl of noodles.
"Miss, what's wrong?" he asked.
"I've been starving for so long," Mrs. Jo said. "I want to leave."
"My uncle lives around the border. Go there and tell him that I sent you. He will help you," the boy said. "To get there you have to pass three military gates. If you tell them my uncle's name they will let you pass."
She followed this boy's instructions and survived. Mrs. Jo was now a North Korean refugee.
Part 2 of "Rebounding" will be posted next week.

Apex Pipeline Services, Inc.
Experience - Production - Quality - Safety
About Us
Current News and Projects
Apex Pipeline has a wide array of competitors due to the various segments of the industry in which we work.
Each segment's competitors pose different issues to overcome to be successful.
This is addressed in the following paragraphs by key segment and competitor.
The first segment to address is the gas production segment.
This segment will initially account for a large portion of our business.
The competition in the segment is typically smaller, non-union contractors with limitations on the amount of work they can perform at on time.
Though there are some capable contractors in this segment, the amount of work planned for gas production in our market in the next three to five years will far exceed their capabilities and leave us an opportunity to capitalize on the overflow of projects.
Another limitation some of these companies is the age of their ownership and the lack of continuity for the future, causing the distinct probability of closure in the near future.
The next segment is the gas transmission segment.
This segment forms the foundation for our future expansion and longevity.
It is also the area where we have the strongest and most experienced competition.
The competition in this segment is typically large, union, well-established companies that work in many segments and markets and control large portions of the market share in each one.
These companies are all near or over the twenty year old mark and have progressive management and are well respected by their peers and customers.
This segment will start as a smaller portion of our initial business but will, in all likelihood, become our largest.

What is anthropology?
The Four fields of American Anthropology
In the tradition of American anthropology, the discipline is split into four primary fields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology.
The fields of anthropology are concerned with understanding the diversity of human societies across space and time in different ways. The scope of anthropology is vast. Anthropologists study Japanese fish markets, Brazilian favelas, Lebanese bars, East St. Louis neighborhoods as well as Bronze Age China, 17th century New Mexico, and mortuary sites in ancient Peru — to name a small sampling of research performed by Harvard anthropologists.
There are many different approaches to asking questions about human diversity, but many anthropologists share an interest in the beliefs, actions, and material products of human society, and how they impact what people think of as possible, desirable, or even common sense in different social contexts.
Entering Anthropology
What draws people to anthropology? The following videos share the experiences of two different Harvard community members.
"Step Out of the Book...Into the World"
In conversation with Angela Ortiz & Cengiz Cemaloglu,
Professor Ajantha Subramanian (Anthropology & South Asian Studies) discusses how she came to the discipline of Anthropology. From a background in Religion - with a focus on textual analysis - Professor Subramanian found that she wanted to "step out of the text and into the world" by the time she finished her own undergraduate studies. She worked to understand how "religion and politics [were] lived practices rather than just conceptual frameworks" in the world.
New Ways of Thinking
Cengiz Cemaloglu, '18 is a joint-concentrator in Anthropology and Government. He discusses the experience of reading Marx while taking the Anthropology Sophomore Tutorial at the same time as an Intermediate Macro-Economics Class. Interestingly, this reading connects to his personal background, as well as how he understands the "different perspectives" that one gains from Anthropology.

When I first read the description of this book I was skeptical. And perhaps suspicious. Definitely intrigued. This attempts to rectify the main problem of Victorian novels, namely, the lack of dragons. Your reaction is probably fairly similar to mine. Victorian novel...with dragons? Well, I have to say that I was entirely won over, and came out of the book wondering why no one had ever put those obviously needed dragons into a Victorian novel before. (I was reading this at the same time as Sense and Sensibility, and trust me, that made for a weird mix.)
Are you wondering whether or not I have lost my sanity? Well, I'm extremely low on sleep, and yesterday put one of my sisters on a plane for New Zealand, where she is going to live, so there is that. But I finished this book a few days ago, before the insomnia and emotional leavetakings, so I think I'll stand by it. Jo Walton makes this work, dammit. And I enjoyed it quite a bit more than Among Others, with which I had some issues.
It really is weird how well this works, and I think it does so because Walton has such a keen grasp of those issues at the core of many Victorian novels, and manages to translate them quite brilliantly into a society of dragons. Quarrels over inheritance involve both dragon hordes and whether or not the body of the deceased counts as part of the treasure. The cult of true womanhood and the importance of virginity is vividly portrayed by the tendency of these female dragons to turn pink when they are affianced. Or at least, turned on. And it can't be undone, creating a visible sign of honest affianced love, or disgraceful wantonness. (Or can it?) The exploitation of the poor comes to life when dragon lords literally eat the dragonets of the poor, for their own health.
All of these are deftly explored. The underlying metaphors are so solid that this book sucked me in entirely. It's not done with an anvil, but they are slowly elucidated, and knowing Victorian novels, things fall into entertaining place without needing overly complicated explanations. Just like Buffy uses monsters as metaphors to explore teenage issues, Walton uses dragons to tease out certain aspects of Victorian society and explore about them without needing to talk down to her readers.
The grand old dragon, Bon Agornin, has died. His will states that his three youngest children share his treasure, with his older children and the aristocratic mate of his oldest daughter, taking only a token piece of gold for their part. The aristocratic bully does not consider this to apply to the body of his father-in-law and proceeds to devour most of it, depriving the three youngest of their rightful share, and thereby, their future growth. (Dragons depend on eating other dragons to grow bigger.)
The son so deprived launches a lawsuit against his brother-in-law, sundering the family. The other brother, a cleric, does not want to be called to give evidence in the trial, due to some ecclesiastical irregularities about his father's last few minutes. One of the two unmarried daughters is accosted by another cleric, causing a blush, and forcing her brothers to look to quickly marry her off before she is disgraced. With the help of one of her maid's, she manages to dispel the blush with the help of certain herbs, but will they have further effects upon her?
And when the two sisters are torn apart, will either find love? Will the one who goes to live with her sister, now in her dangerous second clutch of eggs, manage to survive in the household of her avaricious brother-in-law, whose culling of weak dragon stock may have more to do with his appetites than his duties?
This is a strange book, but such a thoroughly delightful one. And when I turned from it to Sense and Sensibility, I was wistfully wondering where the dragons were.

GeoPlatform.gov promises near-real time information
July 15th, 2010 by Susan Smith
"The partner agencies of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) are developing a Geospatial Platform to more effectively provide place-based products and services to the American public.

The Marathon Diver's LGP (Le Grand Plongeur) is a diver's watch with an extra large case and a high torque, accurate swiss quartz movement. Designed for use by Search and Rescue (SAR) divers and manufactured under ISO 6425 standards, the LGP is a watch built to withstand the most extreme of conditions. The LGP is also known as the Jumbo Search and Rescue (JSAR).
The Marathon JSAR is water resistant down to 30 ATM - 300 meters (1000 feet) underwater. Made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel, the JSAR is a hefty, purpose built watch that will not let you down. The glass of the JSAR is in fact not glass, but a synthetic sapphire which will resist scratches, and is coated in an anti reflective coating to ensure maximum dial legibility.
The JSAR is handmade in La Chaux de Fonds Switzerland to guarantee the highest level of quality and accuracy in manufacturing. Inside the JSAR is a Swiss made, 3 jewel ETA F07 high torque quartz movement. The JSAR uses MaraGlo photo-luminescent paint to illuminate its hands and dial markers. MaraGlo requires charging with an external light source and will glow on its own for 8 hours after being exposed to light.
The JSAR combines Military toughness with Swiss craftsmanship in a watch that will get the job done, and look good doing it.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Mavericks Big Wave Champion, professional Speaker and current Stand Up Paddle (SUP) 12hr Open Ocean Guinness World Record Holder Chris Bertish will once again be off on his SUP board to set a new record. This time it's the 12 hour SUP Flat Water record , something never done before in South Africa. In true Chris fashion, he will be doing the 12 hour record attempt all in aid of Cipla Miles for Smiles in preparation for his 3rd attempt at the 24 hour Open Ocean World Record that is set to take place in late June/July this year, off the Marine Sanctuary of Vilanculos, Mozambique.
"I'm excited to attempt setting this new record, as it gives me such a great foundation to build on for the upcoming third attempt at the 24hr World record and will just remind me and help me be more mindful of the numerous obstacles I need to be cautious of, in order to achieve this goal," says Chris Bertish. "It's not going to be easy, but every mile I paddle I will be raising awareness for children born with Cleft lips and palates, and the necessary funds to pay for the operations to help change these kids' lives forever. That's the best reason in the world to do this.
"It would be easier to attempt this record in the daylight hours, but this won't help me prepare for the night time obstacles we have to endure for the 24hr record, which seems to be the hardest stage of the 24hr World Record I am training for, so I decided to attempt the new 12hr flat water record at night. Sometimes it's not about doing what's easier, but rather what is right and will make you better prepared!"
Chris will be starting his attempt at 5:30pm this evening and will be paddling straight through the night, until 5:30am the following morning at an undisclosed venue, in Cape Town. If you would like to donate any funds to the Cipla Miles for Smiles Campaign please visit http://milesforsmiles.co.za/make-a-donation and use #12HrSUPRecord as your reference.
On the 21st of May, the movie, Ocean Driven, about Chris's inspirational story and lead up to his monumental win at the Mavericks Big Wave Competition in 2010, will be airing at the 2015 San Diego Surf Film Festival and will be coming to SA in November/December this year.
For more info on Chris and this South African record attempt, please visit www.chrisbertish.com/projects/project-code-black or follow his updates on Twitter: Chris_Bertish #12hrSup. The attempt is being run in association with Cipla, Miles for Smiles, Island Tribe, One&Only Cape Town and Farm Films.

Being silly ain't humor,and talking sense is not somber!
Adding to the already persistent, vast gamut of misconceptions, people tend to think that if one is trying to communicate ideas or information in a simple and sensible manner, either the content, or the presenter, or both are emanating from some gloomy or hideous origins. This adds to the poor reception amonsgt the people, to the matters of immense import.
But contrarily, people get hooked onto silly, frivolous and futile attempts of some empty heads
(the TRP ratings of the TV shows people watch would prove the contradiction I am trying to etch out here).
|Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp
If humor was only gimmickry, or sarcasm, or plain mockery, we wouldn't have recognized and remembered Charles Chaplin as the Greatest Comedian ever. He used humor as a tool to convey all the tough messages he wanted to. He showed humor to be one of the best ways to lead one's life, lightly and responsibly. But, if people have had it confused with just being silly, he'd be very upset with it.
Likewise, if people attribute sense to somber, it is highly unfortunate, not to the sensibles, but to the rest of the dogmatists.
PS: This speech from The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin is one of the best ever.

Texas Among Most Popular States for Global Home Buyers
Texas is among the top three states for global home buyers, according to a recent article in HousingWire. Here are highlights from the article, along with our own insights!
Data from the National Association of Realtors shows that foreign home buyers accounted for $153 billion in U.S. residential property purchases between April 2016 and March 2017. This is a 49% increase in dollar volume from the prior year, marking a new high.
Transaction volume is also up by 32%. Foreign home buyers purchased 284,455 residential units between April 2016 and March 2017. As a whole, global buyers represented 10% of market activity.
Global buyers are making home purchases in all price ranges, with about 10% of the transactions involving properties priced over $1 million. About 44% of all purchases were cash deals.
Half of all residential purchases made by foreign home buyers occurred in three states: Texas, Florida and California. Foreign buyers are drawn to these states for their climate, recreation, cultural amenities and economic strengths.
Most foreign buyers of U.S. homes come from China, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and India. The largest transaction growth came from Canada, with $19 billion in dollar volume, up from $8.9 billion the prior year. Canadian buyers are increasingly turning to U.S. real estate for vacation homes and investment, a move bolstered by soaring property values in their home country.
What does it all mean for Houston home sellers? As a culturally dynamic city and an energy production leader, Houston attracts new residents from around the globe. When selling your Houston home, it's important to partner with local real estate experts who have a global presence!

My Rating
By Mr. Ngaihte (27 Apr 2011)
After a careless Morgue empties hundreds of bottles of formaldehyde into the sewers near Seoul's Han River, it gives birth to a terrifying mutant with a taste for blood. The Mutant abducts the daughter of Gang-du (Kang-ho Song). Thinking she is dead, the family mourns her loss; until they receive a late-night call from her cell phone. Knowing she is alive, they band together to find and rescue her from the mutant before it is too late.Their attempts are thwarted by a paranoid Government, who is claiming that the mutant is "living biological warfare", after a Marine from the United States contracts a mysterious disease from coming in contact with the creature. Fearing another SARS incident, they seal off the area the mutant is known to patrol and quarantine anybody and everybody who has came in contact with the mutant - including Gang-du and his family - though no virus actually exists.As the U.S Government bears down on South Korea in an attempt to contain the creature and the supposed "virus" it is carrying, Gang-du and his family break free to confront the monster head-on. However, in the midst of all of this, the American Government finally reaches the end of it's rope and carelessly unleashes "Agent Yellow", a dangerous and toxic gas the U.S. Military had been developing to help fight biological warfare. Though the U.S. Government assures it is safe to use, the people of Korea protest its use at the edge of the Han River where "Agent Yellow" will be unleashed - making them an easy target for the mutant.Gang-du, his family, the mutant, and the government all confront one another in a dangerous battle that ends with both the monster - and Gang-Du's daughter - dead.-In a medical facility, an American Doctor tells his Korean assistant to dump numerous dusty bottle sof formaldehyde into a sink that drains to the Han River. The assistant claims that it is only the bottles that are dusty, but the doctor still wants his request carried out.A few years later, two men are fishing in the Han River, when one sees a small, strange creature in the water. He manages to catch it in a coffee cup, but upon trying to touch it, the thing bites him. This causes the man to drop the cup, and the creature falls back into the river and disappears.Four years afterwards, a businessman commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into the Han River, but not before noticing a dark form moving in the waters below him.The film the cuts to the present day at a snack stand near the Han River. Park Gang-du is lazily running the stand, with his father Hee-Bong trying to get him to behave responsibly. Eventually, Park's daughter Hyun-Seo returns from school. Hyun-Seo is embarassed that her uncle Nam-il arrived for a school event drunk. Hyun-Seo and Hee-Bong then retreat to the snack trailer and watch an archery tournament being broadcast.Hyun-Seo's Aunt Nam-Joo is competing, but due to her taking her time, she ends up winning a Bronze medal.Meanwhile, Park and some other people on the riverbank have noticed a strange creature hanging underneath a bridge. It then swims over and begins to attack several people along the riverbank. Park and an American serviceman attempt to stop the creature, but end up only harming it before it attempts to attack the two men. Hyun-Seo emerges from the snack stand and is grabbed by the creature's tail before it plunges back into the river.A makeshift shelter is held in a local center, with photos displayed of the victims. The family membes congregate there, until a group of men in yellow suits evacuates the center, asking if anyone had contact with the creature. When Gang-du explains that he got some black stuff from the creature on him, he is put in a containment suit and whisked off to a hospital with the rest of the family in tow. With no additional word regarding his condition once he's there, the family are forced to remain nearby.That evening, Gang-du's cellular phone buzzes, and he can hear Hyun-Seo's voice on the other end, saying she's in a pit somewhere. Gang-du relays this to the medical staff the next day, but his description of events on how his daughter can possibly still be alive leaves them thinking he's crazy. However, the rest of the family is willing to believe him. Using an outside contact, Hee-Bong is willing to sacrifice his life's savings to hire a group of men to help the family escape from the hospital. They manage to obtain a truck and some plastic hazmat suits, along with a supposed map of many tunnels and sewer openings that lead in and out of the Han River.

Jon Stewart Destroys Fox News For Reveling In Scott Brown Win
Dan Abramson, HuffingtonPost.com: Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts has made for a variety of moods and responses coming from cable news. Jon Stewart mocked the atmosphere of Fox News last night, comparing the network to someone trying really hard to hide an erection and intercutting their reaction with clips of the phallic Shake Weight.
Stewart went on to note that Fox News anchors seemed to be reveling in the fact that Scott Brown and his family are becoming celebrities. Pointing out the hypocrisy of this, he recapped what Fox News has thought of political celebs in the past, as the network has repeatedly bashed Obama for being a celebrity, rather than an experienced politician.
Adding that Fox News apparently differentiates between what celebrities are acceptable for politics, Stewart "agreed," jokingly describing the two types:
"The elitist scum who prey on the dreams of real of Americans. And the ones you agree with."

Jon Stewart Takes On Keith Olbermann, Olbermann Responds
"I think that's the harshest description of anyone I've ever heard uttered on MSNBC," Stewart said of Olbermann's comment that Brown is "an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees."
Stewart would go on to impersonate Olbermann in the same vein that Ben Affleck did on "SNL": a multi-angle, shouty Special Comment featuring many pairs of glasses and utterances of the word "Sir."
Olbermann responded, telling TVNewser, "It was a little bit of a ripoff of the Affleck thing, but overall, I'd give it a B-."

New Mexico State Legislator Introduces Bill To Move State's Money
"I saw the Move Your Money video the day it came out and thought it made a lot of sense," Egolf told HuffPost.
So the Santa Fe Democrat wants to move as much money as he possibly can -- that would be $1.4 billion.
Egolf's bill would direct the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration to "give a preference to a community bank to act as the fiscal agent of the general fund operating cash depository account."
Egolf said the account, which is essentially the state's checking account, holds $1.4 billion and is managed by Bank of America. Egolf's bill directs state officials to study the feasibility of dividing up the account and distributing it between community banks and credit unions throughout the state. He said he discussed the measure with Gov. Bill Richardson (D) for an hour on Thursday, and that the governor supported the measure.
Egolf said moving state funds into local banks or credit unions would benefit the New Mexico economy by freeing up local credit. "The potential size and impact of moving this money is monumental. The biggest bank in the state right now has $2 billion in assets."
He added that he hasn't heard any opposition to his proposal from any of his colleagues in either party in the New Mexico legislature and expects the measure to be taken up in the next three weeks. His goal is to move the money by the end of the year.
"The only concern I've heard really is, 'How soon can we do it?'" he said. "I'm not getting any defense of the big banks. There's a huge appeal to keeping our money local. The income Bank of America earns from managing this money goes straight to New York."
Bank of America doesn't seem very intimidated by the bill.
"We are pleased to have the State of New Mexico as a client and look forward to continuing that relationship," said a bank spokesman in an email.
Egolf said he was in the process of moving his own money to the Los Alamos National Bank.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) Explains Scott Brown's Victory
According to a memo from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), head of the Senate Republican campaign effort, yesterday's stunning upset election of Scott Brown to fill the seat of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, was the result that "voters realize that there is only one party who bailed out the automakers and insurance companies."
Really John? Do you really think Americans are as stupid as you?
The fact is, it was actually fellow Texan, former President Bush who orchestrated the bailouts of both AIG and the automakers at the 11th hour of his second term. Nice try, though.
LSB: From the state that gave you George W. Bush, we're so proud of this dickwad. Ugh!
Howard Dean: "Bush would have had healthcare a long time ago"
"We've got to be tougher. I've said the Democrats are not tough enough. Bush would have had the health care bill done a long time ago. He would have gone through reconciliation."
Quote of the Day
A memo on what happened in Mass., and how Dems should proceed
From: Adam Green, co-founder, Progressive
Change Campaign Committee -- on behalf of the PCCC, Democracy for America, and Credo Action
RE: The right lesson from Massachusetts & the path forward on health care
We wanted to make sure you saw the Massachusetts Research 2000 poll, reported on by the Wall Street Journal, NBC, Politico, Huffington Post, TPM, and others.It polled critical 2010 swing voters: the 18% of Obama voters who returned to the polls and voted for Republican Scott Brown.
• On health care, they oppose the Senate bill because it "doesn't go far enough" and a whopping 82% support the public option.
• On the economy, by 2 to 1 they think Democrats have put special interests ahead of folks like them -- and by large margins think stronger regulation of Wall Street is more important than cutting spending.
• And 57% say Democrats are not "delivering enough on the change Obama promised."
Why did they vote for Scott Brown? They are angry and want Congress to fight on their side against entrenched power. Scott Brown pretended to be a populist, so he won.
Joe Lieberman, Evan Bayh, and Mark Penn are telling Democrats to learn exactly the wrong lesson: Slow down. Give Americans less change.
It's not an accident that each of these men have crashed presidential campaigns into the ground. Don't listen to them -- their thinking got Democrats into this political mess. Voters want bold populism, and if Democrats don't give it to them Republicans are ready to pretend they will.
The best thing Democrats could do in 2010 is fight big corporations like insurance companies and Wall Street. On health care, the path forward is obvious:
Step 1 -- The Senate passes a "reconciliation" bill with the popular public option and other budget-related fixes to the original Senate bill on issues like the national exchange and excise tax. This takes only a simple majority.
Step 2 -- The House passes both the original Senate bill and final reconciliation bill back-to-back and sends them to the President.
Step 3 -- A signing ceremony takes place that Democrats and voters can be proud of.
What would this "public option through reconciliation" strategy achieve? A popular public option, 30 million new Americans insured, pre-existing conditions provisions, a national exchange that "gives people access to the same kind of plan Congress gets," and all the other insurance industry reforms Democrats have been pushing. All without worrying about Joe Lieberman's vote.
Plus, Democrats would be popular -- for finally taking on insurance companies by passing the public option. Again, among the swing Obama voters, only 32% support the current Senate bill but 82% want a public option.
All the old arguments against using reconciliation are gone. It's now the only way to pass a comprehensive health care bill, building off the Senate's prior work. And once reconciliation is being used, the Senate has the votes to pass a public option.
After Massachusetts, passing the public option is a no-brainer -- it's populist, it's good policy, and it's what 2010 swing voters want.
That's why in the 48 hours after the Massachusetts election, over 150,000 people signed a petition advocating the "public option in reconciliation" strategy. More are signing literally every minute, and our three organizations will deliver these signatures to you in the near future.
You can see the Massachusetts poll here and our recent national poll here.
Please feel free to reply with any feedback. And if you would like to be part of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee's ongoing dialogue with Hill staff, please click here and let us know.
Thanks for your time.

{Pam May – Interim President & CEO, Roane Alliance}
Visitors spent $69.82M in Roane County in 2017, based on the latest numbers from the U.S. Travel Association and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. This was an increase of $2.33M over 2016 and one of the largest increases in the past five years. In fact, visitor spending has increased by $7.63M just in the last four years, which is almost double the prior four years that only saw an increase of $2.75M.
How does this affect our residents? Every Roane County household would have had to pay $353 more in taxes last year without the $7.89M generated by visitors who spent money in Roane. In addition, 70 new jobs have been created in the hospitality industry since 2013, now totaling 490 jobs.
The state announced this year that tourism is the 2nd largest industry in Tennessee. Roane County has the perfect location, quality of life and assets to benefit more every year. One of the most successful marketing campaigns, Soak in Roane, continues to market Roane like never before, bringing in more events and more visitors. So next time you see an out-of-state license plate or know someone isn't "from 'round here" welcome them and encourage them to check out your favorite place to eat or shop because the longer they stay and the more they spend helps every Roane County household save money.

You can do things more easily today, with so much technology available. Home design elements are more accessible to the ordinary person than ever before. Do you want advice? Read the following article and learn how you can design your home.
Small baskets and crates are a simple and stylish storage solution for smaller bathrooms. There are many different styles and types of baskets you could use. You can put a basket next to your tub filled with rolled towels or magazines. They can also be mounted on a wall or hidden under a vanity.
You can decorate your basement. Basements tend to be cave like in appearance. If you want to make your basement more pleasant, use a light-colored paint on the walls, install plenty of lighting, and put curtains around any windows.
When you are redecorating your home you should always keep the amount of people living there in mind. Is your social life small and intimate, or big and exciting? Think about what you need in the room. For example, living room designs will differ greatly from the dining area or bedrooms. Always put the function of the room before any other consideration. Then, add your style elements knowing that you have created a room that will work as intended.
One trick that you can use if you are decorating a house that is not large is to include a lot of mirrors. Mirrors make a room appear larger than it is, which should help make the room look better. Don't hesitate to buy an attractive mirror when you are working on decorating an area of your home.
If your home is small, use light-colored decor to highlight your space. Make sure your major pieces, as well as the walls, are light in color so that you can maximize the illusion of space. Dark colors only serve to minimize the feel of the environment's space.
When you are designing a smaller room you should use furniture that has many uses. An ottoman is a great choice. This way you can use the ottoman as both a table and a place to sit down, which in turn maximizes the smaller living space. Using things that have more than one purpose saves money and space.
The color scheme you choose can make or break your next interior design project. Be wary of what colors go together and what colors clash so that you can give your entire room a balanced, tasteful look. Avoid using a lot of bold colors in a single room.
Clutter serves to create a lot of issues when designing. An excess amount of clutter can ruin the look of even the most stylish room, so if necessary, consider a storage unit rental where your extra belongings can be kept. If your property has lots of outdoor space, consider purchasing a shed for this purpose.
Don't you feel like an expert in interior design now? Absorbing all of this information is a great start. It is now up to you to put these ideas into practice in a way that brings out your own style and taste.
