Guide to the Leonid Hurwicz papers, 1911-2008 and undated
Leonid Hurwicz (1917-2008) was Regents' Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Minnesota and recipient of the 2007 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science for his work on mechanism design. The bulk of the Leonid Hurwicz papers span the years 1930-2008, covering his entire career as an economist, from his early work in the 1940s and 1950s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Chicago, and the Cowles Commission, until his death in 2008. The collection is arranged in the following series: Correspondence, Personal Files, Printed Materials, Professional Service, Research and Writings (about 70% of the collection), and Teaching Materials. Though there are correspondence, legal, financial, and other papers relating to Hurwicz's forced migration to the United States, there have been no items discovered documenting his training as an economist at the University of Warsaw or at the London School of Economics in the 1930s. The majority of the collection focuses on Hurwicz's work after 1970, most notably his collaborations with Stanley Reiter, Kenneth Arrow, Don Saari, Thomas Marschak and Marcel Richter.

Collection Overview
The bulk of the Leonid Hurwicz Papers span the years 1930-2008, covering his entire career as an economist in the United States, from his early work at MIT, the University of Chicago and the Cowles Commission until his death while Emeritus Professor at the University of Minnesota. The collection is arranged in the following series: Correspondence, Personal Files, Printed Materials, Professional Service Series, Research and Writings, and Teaching Materials. Though there are correspondence, legal, financial, and other papers documenting his migration to the United States, there have been no items discovered that document his training as an economist at the University of Warsaw or at the London School of Economics. The majority of the collection focuses on Hurwicz's work after 1970, most notably his collaborations with Stanley Reiter, Kenneth Arrow, Don Saari, Thomas Marschak and Marcel Richter.
Though there is a significant amount of personal and professional correspondence, the majority of the papers reside in the 142 boxes of the Research and Writings Series, which contains extensive files of Hurwicz's research notes, reprints, and revisions of working papers by Hurwicz and others with added annotations. The research files document important developments in postwar mathematical economics and Hurwicz's seminal contributions to this field of study.
Recurring subjects in Research and Writings include Cowles-style econometrics; the stability of general equilibrium; the integrability of demand functions; the study of monopolies and oligopolies, as well as socialized systems; decision-making under ambiguity; the second welfare theorem; the applications of game theory to economic, social and political issues; and the development of mechanism design, for which Hurwicz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2007. With his theories on mechanism design (including the notion of incentive-compatibility), Hurwicz analyzed the functioning of institutions and communication systems such as banking, auctions, and privatized markets, and compared political systems such as socialism and capitalism.
In addition to documenting Hurwicz's work in theoretical economics, the collection also follows his professional activities at the University of Minnesota, both as a teacher and as an active member of the Economics Department, his participation on various committees, and his work with institutions such as the Cowles Commission, RAND corporation, the National Science Foundation, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Also in evidence is Hurwicz's interest in the development of foreign economies, with an emphasis on East Asia, Russia, and Eastern Europe. His numerous travels and presentations during his career as well as his continuous relations with European and Asian economists are documented chiefly in the Professional Service Series. Finally, the Printed Materials Series as well as the Research and Writings Series offer a significant amount of works by others documenting the development of recent economics. Many are heavily annotated by Hurwicz.
Electronic files which were readable have been transferred to the electronic records server. They consist chiefly of word processing documents containing drafts of Informational Efficiency, which Hurwicz co-authored with Reiter in the late 1990s.

Contents of the Collection
1. Correspondence Series, 1970-1980s
Consists of two groupings of professional correspondence maintained by Hurwicz, chiefly from the 1970s and 1980s; there is electronic email as well dating from approximately 1998-2008. There is no significant difference between the two subseries of papers, except that the first is more focused on the 1980s and the second chiefly on the period from 1977-1979. The two collections overlap occasionally. There are a few attached reprints or notes. The files are arranged alphabetically by senders or recipients, or by subject.
Though the files contain extensive correspondence between Hurwicz and his colleagues, these exchanges are for the most part routine and contain few extended conversations on economics. Original folder titles are retained. Additional and perhaps more significant correspondence may be found in the Research Files (particularly in the Arrow, Marschak, Reiter and Uzawa files), as well as in the Professional Service Series. A small but significant amount of correspondence regarding Hurwicz's immigration and earliest years in the United States is located in the Personal Files Series - much of this in Polish.
Electronic correspondence, 1990s-2000s
Approximately 46 folders of email correspondence (2008-0003), along with other account folders. NOTE: Email files must be screened by archivist before use.
[Electronic records have been migrated to a library server. To request access, please contact Research Services before coming to use this collection.]
2. Personal Files Series, 1930-2009
Series includes early letters, memorabilia, and other items documenting Hurwicz's migration to the U.S. from Poland and his early years in the U.S. (1939-1946); curriculum vitae; press clippings and articles; Nobel Prize memorabilia; and obituaries following his death in 2009. Languages include French and Polish. Included are documents from Hurwicz's early student years in Poland and at the London School of Economics, as well as early papers from his first positions in the U.S. Many of the letters written in Polish to Hurwicz in the early 1940s appear to be from his father and other family members, who, with Hurwicz's efforts, also emigrated to the U.S. after he had established himself in the U.S. Folders and their contents have been kept mostly in original order as filed by Hurwicz. Arranged alphabetically by folder title, with the correspondence in chronological order.
Accession 2017-0054, received as a gift from Shomu Banerjee.
Includes a few items from early years in the U.S.
[Newspaper and manifesto removed to Oversize Material.]
Clipping announcing Hurwicz appointment, 1949; two-page copy of resignation letter, 1951; several clippings giving context for resignation.
3. Printed Materials Series, 1940s-2000s and undated
Consists chiefly of reprints and working papers, generally bound printed materials with a few annotations. Hurwicz's reprints and working papers are arranged in chronological order. Printed materials by colleagues are arranged by alphabetical order of the first author's last name. Though these are mainly articles, they also include PhD dissertations, reports or memoranda which are arranged alphabetically by author's name or by the institution for which it was written. The series also contains a full box of various brochures (economics departments, conference programs) and a box filled with unidentified papers in Russian.
Works by Others
Arranged alphabetically. Some folders may contain more than one article or draft.
Topical Files, 1940s-2006 and undated
Includes single subject files, as well as larger groupings of files on Hurwicz's collaborations with Arrow, Marshak, Reiter, Richter, and Saari. These files can contain significant amounts of correspondence. Additional correspondence can be found in the Personal Files and Correspondence Series.
These papers document Hurwicz's works in relation with Thomas Marschak (no relation to Jacob Marshak). They contain drafts and notes on collaborative works as well as reprints of Marschak's works with annotations by Hurwicz. Most of their collaboration took place during the 1980s and dealt with mechanism design (dimensional requirements, resource allocations mechanisms). Arranged chronologically.
Hurwicz's collaboration with Stanley Reiter and Donald Saari represents a significant part of the Research and Writings Series. Spanning over three decades, those are very dense research materials including numerous projects, drafts, revisions, book chapters, proofs and presentations in seminars and conferences. The main output of this collaboration is Hurwicz and Reiter's Designing Economic Mechanisms, published in 2006. Preliminary work in relation with this book begins by 1978. Those papers are divided in two subseries: the Reiter collaboration and the HRS collaboration. HRS seems to be mostly a subdivision of the work by Hurwicz and Reiter, with added commentaries by Saari. Numerous drafts of book chapters with a similar aspect can be found with numerous annotations and subtle differences. One may find seemingly similar materials in the H/R files (11 boxes) on one hand and in the H/R/S files (12 boxes) on the other hand.
The material, dealing with mechanism design, is heavily mathematical with an extensive use of geometric techniques - annotated reprints of Spivak's Differential Geometry are included. Recurring themes are the rectangle method and the condensation theorem. Beside collaborative works, these papers include other works by Reiter and Saari, with light annotations by Hurwicz and/or related correspondences. Each subseries is arranged in chronological order.
Contains drafts and notes on collaborative work as well as reprints of Richter's writings with annotations by Hurwicz. Most of their collaboration took place in the 1990s and dealt with welfare economics. Arranged chronologically.
4. Professional Service Series, 1940s-2005
Documents Hurwicz's professional activities not directly related to research or teaching, such as research funding, publishing, Hurwicz's membership in various associations, participation on panels and committees, administrative tasks at the University of Minnesota, letters of recommendation, foreign travels, and speaking engagements. The materials cover most of Hurwicz's career with a stronger emphasis on activities after the 1980s. There are four subseries: Professional Activities by Subject (3.5 boxes), Letters of Recommendation (0.5 box), Foreign Travel (3 boxes) and Invited Talks (5 boxes).
5. Research and Writings Series, 1911-2006 and undated, bulk 1945-2006
Represents approximately seventy percent of the collection. Contains notes, drafts, working papers, reprints, annotated manuscripts, faxes and letters related to Hurwicz's work as an economist. These papers span Hurwicz's entire career from his work with Kenneth Arrow and Hiro Uzawa at Cowles in the 1940s on the stability of general equilibrium and the integrability of demand functions, to his collaboration with Stanley Reiter on Designing Economic Mechanisms (2006).
For the most part, Hurwicz's original arrangement and folder titles have been retained. The materials are ordered into two subseries: Topical and Other Research. Roughly half of the Research and Writings series (51 boxes) is arranged in a Topical Subseries. File folders represent either an important topic within Hurwicz's work or an extended collaboration with a colleague; there are also geographical files, including one on China. Within folders, materials are arranged in rough chronological order. There are also three boxes of correspondence related to works by others and seven boxes of unbound annotated works by others (in contrast with those included with the Printed Materials series, these are unbound and some are unpublished).
Ninety-one other boxes in the Other Research Subseries contain files that have retained their original order as received by the library and have been given basic processing and arrangement. The descriptions are broad, with significant topics or individuals highlighted; not all folders are represented. There are a number of files related to geographical headings, especially relating to the economies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and in smaller degree to Poland and New Zealand. Hurwicz also was interested in refugees and public policy, and this is reflected by folders of material on that subject.
Other Research and Writings Subseries, 1911-2004 and undated, bulk 1945-2004
Chiefly consists of Hurwicz's research notes and drafts relating to projects and collaborations; correspondence folders; reprints, articles, and other writings by other economists, scientists, and students; conference records; and other mixed papers. May also contain some personal papers and teaching materials. Early dates refer chiefly to reprints and articles, often accompanied by Hurwicz's notes on those early works. Topics covered by research notes and other materials vary, but focus chiefly on mathematical equations and modeling for institutional change, equilibrium, mechanism design, convergence, and condensation. There are many folders with materials relating to Hurwicz's collaborations with Stan Reiter. At least several folders of materials from the 1990s and early 2000s focus on Indian, Eastern European and Russian economic changes.
NOTE: Folders have been given basic processing for access; folder titles do not necessarily represent all materials present in boxes. Materials are in original order as received and are in mixed order chronologically and topically, and many folders are untitled. Series is in queue for further processing.
Includes correspondence from Marschak on informational size of discrete spaces.
Drafts continued from previous box of an unidentified major work; drafts on decentralization.
Names on folders or in content include: Aitken, Boas, Goebel and Kirk, Ljusternik and Sobolew, Edna Loehman, Mark Kilgour, Rockarfellar (integration theorems), Kornai, Findley and Rodriguez, Sonnenschein, and Wright.
Other names on folders include: Jordan, Calsamiglia, Merton, Ostroy, Pratt, Radner.
Majority are folders with single articles, or mixed folders with photocopied articles, mixed topics. Some appear to be from a S-W series of last names. Includes game theory bibliography.
Electronic files contain an abstract and drafts of chapters, along with a few other assorted administrative files.
[Electronic records have been migrated to a library server. To request access, please contact Research Services before coming to use this collection.]

The Solid 2005 Chateau Liot
Chateau Liot is a property located in Barsac near Chateau Climons. It has been in the David family for five generations and is currently run by Jean-Gerard David. The estate produces wine from 20 hectares of vineyards planted with 85% Semillon, 10% Sauvignon, and 5% Muscadelle. The vines are located on gravel, silt, alluvial soils on top of limestone bedrock. The fruit is fermented in vat then matured for 15-18 months in 15% new oak barrels. This was a solid enough Sauternes, pleasing but not exciting. At $19 per half-bottle I would recommend spending an extra $4 to update to the 2007 Chateau Sigalas Rabaud. This wine was purchased at Wide World of Wines.
2005 Chateau Liot, Sauternes – (375 mL) $19
Imported by Ginday Imports. Alcohol 14%. The flavors start off with peach and yellow fruit followed by a touch of black tea. It opens up to reveal fresh apple notes with an autumnal mix of cinnamon. There is a light to moderate sweetness. The aftertaste brings dried fruit. ** Now-2019.

ROY — Roy Police are reminding people to "post wisely" when it comes to what they share on social media after several rumors about serious violence at Saturday's Roy Days celebration were spread online.
Several posts claiming that there was an active shooter and a stabbing at Roy's West Park appeared in a popular Facebook group, "You know your from Ogden if," Saturday night. Other posts in Roy-based Facebook groups like "Roy Utah Community" sought clarification, asking, "Does anyone know if anyone was actually shot and injured at Roy days?"
Neither events happened as reported on social media, according to a Facebook post from Roy Police.
However, groups of teenagers believed to be part of different gangs were at Roy West Park on Saturday evening to "fight each other" and officers spent several hours separating the groups and removing them from the park, police said.
Several juveniles that were "causing the most significant problems" were arrested, one of whom was in possession of a knife, police said. No stabbing was reported to police.
Emergency dispatch also received a third-party phone call from someone threatening to commit a drive-by shooting at the park while this was going on, police said.
"We ask those who are posting or forwarding information on these pages to do so diligently," Roy Police said. "Social media is a great tool for both the public and government agencies that serve the public. However, when misused, social media has the ability to create unnecessary havoc and alarm as well as bad information first responders have to sort through."
Roy Police reminded people who listen to police scanner feeds that several jurisdictions use the Weber County Emergency Dispatch Center and that one dispatcher may be covering more than one incident at a time.
"Also, what you thought you heard may not have actually been said, or misheard, or taken out of context," police said. "Our communication with dispatch is full of code and other jargon."

Product feature
HoodRemovable. Two-way adjustment (height and depth) with an elastic drawcord + toggles. "Storm" hood with excellent coverage and a shaped visor for protecting the face as much as possible.
Pockets2 hand pockets + 2 hand warmer pockets + 1 game pouch. All its pockets close with a zipper.
Recommended complementary productsInverness 500 trousers for protecting the lower body as well, thus providing complete and effective protection from the rain and vegetation.
The component's waterproof propertiesWe measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is. Components scoring 2000 mm can resist the pressure from 2000 mm of water (which is equivalent to a rain shower lasting one hour).
Garment waterproof propertiesThis jacket has passed a shower test under 100 litres of water/sqm/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the same conditions as a heavy storm. For further information, go to the Solognac website.
Component breathabilityThe breathability of a fabric is measured in RET (Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by an active body escapes through the fabric, and the higher the fabric's breathability. The complex RET is the measurement performed on a finished product. complex RET of the Inverness 500 W/P jacket = 12 m/².Pa/W, i.e. very breathable.
Garment breathabilityIn addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, Solognac develops technical solutions (zips, air vents, mesh, etc.) that improve the overall ventilation of all its jackets.
Water repellent fabricA fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved through a treatment applied to the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs reapplying throughout the lifespan of the garment (we recommend it with every wash). Water-repellent treatment products are available in our stores. Solognac waterproof jackets are water repellent treated.
A rating for comparing products environmental impactThe environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labelling scheme. For more info: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/

Thomson: Brian Jean shakes up efforts to unite Alberta's right
In the eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between Brian Jean and Jason Kenney over plans to unite the political right in Alberta, Jean has just blinked.
On Thursday, the Wildrose leader released an online video message saying he now supports the idea of one united party.
It wouldn't be exactly as planned by Kenney, who wants to win the Progressive Conservative leadership and then merge the two conservative parties together. But it's hairsplitting close.
"If our members approve a unity agreement with the PC party, I am prepared to stand down as leader of the Wildrose, and to seek the leadership of our single, principled, conservative party in a race to be conducted this summer," said Jean.
This is huge. For months, Jean has rejected the idea of any structured unification with the PCs. At the Wildrose convention last October, for example, Jean said, "the mood has been away from any kind of formal merger and more toward other options that are possible," and he suggested an informal political détente: "some sort of arrangement where there would be a non-compete clause or something like that."
What's changed? Well, Kenney appears on track to win the PC leadership at the party's convention March 18. And public opinion polls indicate a majority of conservative-minded voters like the idea of combining the forces of the PCs and Wildrose. And they're open to Kenney's idea to have a leadership race for that new party this summer.
But there's something else, too, that Jean couldn't help but notice.
Those polls show that Jean is more popular and better known than Kenney.
When it comes to uniting the right, more conservatives — especially Wildrose members — want to see Jean at the helm of a new party than Kenney.
That's why Jean did his about face Thursday.
So, yes, Jean has capitulated to Kenney's plan. He has blinked. But Jean also has his eyes wide open. By announcing his intention to run for the new party — if Wildrose members agree to it — he is hoping to get out ahead of Kenney, who still has to get through the PC convention.
That shouldn't be a problem for Kenney.
The wheels of the PC leadership race are falling off by the day as Kenney's competitors try to find ways to stay relevant. On Thursday, one of them — MLA Richard Starke — held a news conference to make an announcement that managed to confuse anybody within earshot. Starke, a credible candidate who insists he is in a "close race" with Kenney, wants the PCs and Wildrose to work together not by merging into one new party, but "as separate but co-operating entities."
He says they would still have "two parties, two leaders, two caucuses" to defeat the NDP in the next election. At the risk of mixing my idioms, Starke's plan is something of a Hail Mary pass he's tossing at the wall to see if it sticks.
Starke has come up with what he thinks is a compromise to allow loyalists in both the PC and Wildrose parties to keep their brands.
However, his plan has a couple of major flaws. For one, he couldn't explain how his "common sense plan" would work in the real world of a hotly contested election.
And there's another more troubling flaw: Jean blew Starke's idea right out the window when Jean announced he favours a new conservative party rather than Starke's separate-but-co-operating-entities idea.
One difference between Jean's idea and Kenney's: Jean wants the new party to operate under the "legal framework" of the Wildrose with, probably, a new name.
That would allow the Wildrose to hang on to all its financial assets, which would otherwise have to be turned over to Elections Alberta if the Wildrose was dissolved to form a new party.
Jean's move Thursday was shrewd. He is no longer waiting for Kenney to set the pace.
Jean has fired the starter's pistol for the leadership race of a new "single, principled, conservative party," even before the PC leadership race is over.

There were a lot of rumors encompassing the Apple Apple iphone event. The majority of them dealt immediately with the predicted iPhones – the suggested 5S and 5C. A whole lot of interesting concepts and speculations had been recommended and expressed – from the most clear to people not likely to occur. The keynote alone was not groundbreaking – at minimum such was the first impact. Almost everything we noticed there was anticipated, with a little exception. Now we'd like to guide you through the roundup of rumors that had been circulating around the world wide web. Let's see which of them came correct and which have been still left guiding.
Indeed: two iPhones
Just as it was expected, officially named Iphone 5S and Iphone 5C. The previous has the style of its predecessor, even though the latter has comparable specs. Equally will shortly be introduced with iOS seven aboard. In simple fact, the entire keynote is about these two products. Even the approaching iOS 7 was talked about just to complement the tale.
NO: Apple iphone 5C is a cheap Apple iphone
If when compared to 5S, it is a spending budget Iphone lined with polycarbonate shell. But it's not so low cost as many of us predicted. It's a bit less expensive than the flasghip, but its price is substantial (contract-totally free: $549 for 16GB, $649 for 32GB). To examine, costs of the 5S are $one hundred larger respectively. It's less costly but not low cost.
Indeed: Apple iphone 5C comes in hues
Leaked images confirmed us the fact. We have 5 hues: white, yellow, eco-friendly, blue, pink. No purple or red. This is specifically what Apple hinted at by the tagline 'This should brighten your day'. Nokia discovered this choice resembling the assortment of colours that the Lumia household provides and took an fascinating jab at Apple on Twitter.
Yes: Apple iphone 5S goes gold
There is lastly the 3rd color for the high-finish smartphone – champagne (or contact it gold). What's preferred about this selection, there is no abnormal glitter like in Vertu phones, almost everything is colored with simplicity and elegance.
NO: 128GB option
Regrettably for tunes lovers and motion picture fans, there is nonetheless no alternative of doubling the highest Apple iphone capability. At the very least tunes enthusiasts who have their whole tunes libraries in the pocket, even now can have their vintage iPods.
Yes: fingerprint sensor
A single of the most widely reviewed characteristics launched in the new iPhones. It occupies the house button behind a layer of sapphire crystal. The complete function is called Touch ID and it makes it possible for users to unlock the phone with out entering passcodes.
Even though it succeeded to raise some desire in the world wide web, Near Area Conversation continues to be a niche concept that nevertheless does not obtain a lot useful use and relevance. At the very least for Apple.
Sure: next-generation chip
The 5S introduces A7 which can make it, as claimed by Apple, 5 moments more quickly than Iphone five and forty occasions quicker than the extremely 1st Iphone. It is accompanied by yet another chip – so-known as 'motion coprocessor' M7. O2 iPhone Unlock of other advancements in the 5S are evolution relatively than revolution, just like it was amongst Iphone four and 4S.
NO: a new iPad? An iPad mini with Retina display? A new iPod? Possibly iWatch?
None. The occasion was entirely dedicated to the new iPhones. Everything that Apple is probably preparing to demonstrate, will arrive afterwards this yr. iWatch, which has in no way been confirmed yet, should not be envisioned earlier than 2014 (if it at any time arrives).
NO: something we didn't anticipate
Maybe there was just a single pleasurable bonus that wasn't predictable (properly, other than Elvis Costello): five compensated applications by Apple are free for the new Apple iphone customers – the iWork suite (Internet pages, Quantities, Keynote), iPhoto and iMovie. We can only wonder regardless of whether Apple has anything else to present us. If it has, we have to hold out for the subsequent keynote. Now allow us bide our time waiting around for the release of iOS 7 on September eighteen.

Tip: to view a framed version of a painting, hover over the painting and press either the left or right arrow. Alternatively, use the dots found beneath the painting.
Black-throated Divers remain rare within the UK and are entirely restricted to Scotland. Caithness and Sutherland holds a high proportion of the total breeding population. They are the most magnificent of birds and have very dramatic plumage markings during the breeding season. I set this pair with a backdrop similar to the type of upland loch they frequent.

I painted this picture after watching a flock of pelicans feeding amongst flamingos at Swakopmund, on the west coast of Namibia. A group of birds moved to a sandbank to preen and the contrast between the strong white plumage and plain sand caught my attention.

Tufted ducks have very simple black and white contrasting plumage. I tried to create an attractive image by composing three drakes, together with their reflections and water patterns to complete the setting.

Single swans often look elegant and distinguished and on still water reflections can amplify the effect. For this painting I wanted to focus on a single bird and use its reflection as part of the overall scene. I used paper as the medium to help enhance a watery effect

Whilst on a shopping trip to Worcester I noticed someone feeding swans on the River Severn. They had attracted a large number and I stopped for a while to watch. Whilst competing for the limited food the birds bunched close together and it was the density of the flock and spaces between them which appealed to me. I took a few photographs to help work up this painting.

These drake Mandarins from China were in a collection, but I thought the ridiculously flamboyant colour scheme would make a change for me. I decided to commit fully and added a bold background colour to complete the effect. Despite their over the top exotic appearance Mandarins are very attractive small ducks.

A diminutive goose with lots of character. These are very much an East European species but small numbers occur in northern Scandinavia. I found a few birds in Norway close to the north Finnish border. Here they mixed with Bean Geese on short coastal tundra vegetation.

I am fascinated by the range of chocolate colour combinations on the head of Pink-footed Geese. It varies from light milk chocolate to dark plain and complements a similar range of grey colours on the back. This Icelandic breeding species has been increasing in numbers in recent years and is now quite common in large flocks close to my home in Sutherland from October until April.

These birds do not generally occur in western Europe, the main wintering grounds being in Bulgaria and Romania. I have yet to catch up with flocks in the wild but painted these birds after watching them in a collection. The combination of black, white and russet appealed to me.

We can use biblical principles for successful business, because God's principles apply to our whole life.
Ephesians 4:11 – Apostles – Owner/Visionary
Prophets – Numbers – they see where we are, what the opportunities are
Evangelists – Marketing
Pastors – Manager
Teachers – Trainer/Employee
Know who you are, and bring in people who you are not. If I try to operate in an area I'm not called to, I'm going to mess it up. Success is what makes you happy, gives you joy, and help fulfill what you want to do.
Whenever you do anything, go to the elementary principle of it. Everything is built from elementary blocks. Genesis is the first block. The "Principle of Everything" will be found in the basics. Businesses fail because elementary principles aren't being followed.
Throw the big books away, and buy the "Dummies" books. It will cut through to the chase, and give you the foundation you need to carry the rest of the vision.
Read Simon Sinek's book "Why?"
The "Limbic brain" is the feeling, or "sense" side of the brain. Trust that.
At Chase Bank, I was the highest producing sales person. The reason I was so successful is that people could feel my passion.
Comparative Effort (phrase Ellington coined) – Should you do MLM, or should you chase another business model to accomplish the same thing? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Is the view worth the climb?
"Utility" = Happiness
Comparative Utility – What gives you the most happiness?
Warren Buffett saves Billions of dollars. He's a pathological hoarder. His utility is saving money. He's sad when he spends. I get utility by giving and helping.
What are you pathological about? What flows out of your essence? That's what you should be involved in. Be in the business of your essence.
Get behind other people's passion. Only focus on the passion.
Haywood/Hancock Partners vision is to help Oneness and Apostolic groups. We are starting a fund for clean technology. This is to help Oneness people. It's time we invest in each other's business.
TAC – Think, Act, and Communicate as one – Get in on one accord, and help each other to succeed.
In order to have high probability of success, 1. Start business where your essence is 2. Be part of the group you're a part of (be present and involved).
People don't buy what and how you do it, they buy WHY you do it.
Martin Luther King's followers followed because of the why.
What flips up on your lid? Apple? Apostolic? Oneness?
Money follows innovation.
When you value self, you are good to self; that is good. Demanding respect, however, never gets respect; even if you think you're getting it, you're not. Further, lecturing someone on how you want to be treated does not appear to be the answer, either. Again, people respond in kind. Treat people how you want to be treated is useful. "He who has friends, must first show himself friendly." She who has respect, must first SHOW herself respectful. ~Ellington L. Ellis~
Value begins from within, and permeates outward. Never the other way around. A level playing field enables competitiveness, but as Bishop G.T.Haywood stated, "Discrimination is weak against superior Determination." Have you ever witnessed a beggar beg his way from underneath a bridge? I know, no analogy is perfect, but the SPIRIT of the M.L. King Movement is, "MY Life Matters" Words have spirit's. I believe we must be careful not to be taken up with the wrong spirit in our efforts to bring about positive change. It is important to discern the people behind a movement and not just the movement. ~Ellington Haywood Ellis

6 tips for weaning your vegan baby
If you have made the decision to become vegan, then feeding your baby can pose a bit of a dilemma. The ethical reasons you had for giving up animal products haven't changed, and your instinct may be that you want to raise your baby as a vegan, but friends and family may be very opposed to the idea and their concerns can make you doubt your choice.
Let me reassure you that it's very possible to raise a healthy vegan baby, it does take a little more planning, but you probably already have some of those things in place for yourself anyway. Eating animal products is no guarantee of a healthy diet anyway, a child who eats dairy may not have to worry about calcium, but they could easily be missing out on other nutrients. All parents should be aware and make sure their children get what they need, being vegan just needs a little bit more planning.
Here are my top tips:
- Breastfeed
If possible, it is best to breastfeed your vegan baby until 12 months, infact the Vegan Society suggest that two years is a good goal. (link to https://www.vegansociety.com/resources/nutrition-and-health/life-stages/under-fives) They will benefit from protein and calcium in breastmilk, among other nutrients. If you choose not to breastfeed, or stop before a year, make sure your baby has formula milk as vegan milks are not suitable for under ones except when used in cooking. It's best to speak to your health visitor before using a soy-based formula.
- Give B12 supplements
All vegans need a good source of vitamin B12, and babies are no exception. Adults might get theirs from marmite (best avoided for babies due to the salt content), nutritional yeast and fortified foods but as B12 is so vital for good health I recommend a supplement for babies over 12 months old. Sprays and drops are available and very easy to give.
- Consider other supplements
The NHS recommendation is that all breastfed babies, and older babies who have started to replace formula with solid foods, are given a vitamin D supplement daily. This is especially important for those following a vegan diet. You may also want to consider omega 3 and iodine supplements as your little one starts to eat more food and cut down on their milk feeds.
- Give lots of iron rich foods from 6 months
Babies are born with stores of iron that last about six months, so it is important to include iron rich foods, but there are plenty of plant-based options. Spinach may not be a typical baby favourite, but broccoli, apricots and unsweetened soy yogurts are. Beans, chickpeas, lentils and tofu are all great additions as your baby gets older. You might even consider using an "iron fish" (link to luckironfish.com) to add iron to any sauce, stew, soup or puree.
- Look for foods fortified with calcium
The other concern for growing babies and toddlers who don't consume milk is calcium. There are many calcium fortified products available, from orange juice to bread as well as dairy substitutes, and these can be a great choice. Other options include kale, pak choi, dried figs, chia seeds and almonds (ground for use in baking or as a butter)
- Avoid too much fibre
It's also important to realise that a plant-based diet is naturally high in fibre and low in fat, which is great for most adults but not ideal for young children. A baby or toddler is growing fast and usually very active so they need to get a lot of energy from their food, but their stomach is comparatively small, and fibre can fill them up before they've got everything they need. It's best to give small amounts of "filler" or high fibre foods like potatoes and grains and aim to include more nutrient dense foods such as avocado or smooth nut butters. Nut butter can be a choking risk as it's so sticky but it's safe either spread thinly or melted into a sauce. Of course, if you have any family history of allergies, you'll want to ask a health professional before trying nuts or peanuts for the first time.

Meaning of different colored meditation shawls
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 3:50 am
I see many different colored robes that lay people wear. Sometimes I see the ngakpa shawl, I understand that but sometimes I see people in the same sangha but some might be wearing a maroon and some a white shawl. Is there any rhyme or reason or is it just a preference thing?
Many thanks for any guidelines.

Please see my description in the original version of this recipe as the notes are very similar. I used TFA Strawberry in the original and since I'm somewhat Strawberry muted I was not really getting much Strawberry from that recipe. I played around with several Strawberry combinations and eventually landed on this mix. FA Juicy Strawberry is very jam like to me, and keeping Red Touch in the recipe brings it down to something more realistic. I normally do not enjoy INW Shisha Strawberry as it is just too artificial, but used at a low percentages it really rounds out the Strawberry flavor - but it does require a steep to mellow it out. This is a fairly dainty recipe that, at least for me, goes to nothing if there is any carbon buildup on the coils. I use this recipe daily in my Berserker 24 mm in MTL mode, and I change the cotton and clean the coils after two tank fulls. Otherwise the Strawberry and Licorice goes muted. I apologize for the V2 of this recipe, but a fair number of people viewed the original recipe and I did not want to change it in case someone enjoyed it and was mixing from the ATF post.
