ANALYSIS: The ever-simmering Israeli-Palestinian conflict is again threatening to boil over
by Hagai M Segal, Lecturer and advisor on Middle-East affairs
Past weeks have seen the firebombing of a Palestinian home in Duma, the 'repeat attack' on the Jerusalem gay pride parade, clashes at Temple Mount, more Jewish settlements announced, the planned demolition of the Palestinian settlement of Susiya, a Knesset law to force-feed Palestinian prisoners and renewed rocket fire from Gaza.

- OPINION – SIR ERIC PICKLES: Israel's leaders must do more to root out the extremists from its society
- Jewish extremists react to crackdown with death threats
- Israel begins fightback against home-grown extremism
Attacks perpetrated by Jewish Israeli extremists have caused shock in Israel. Politicians have used unprecedented language to describe Duma. Benjamin Netanyahu called it "an act of terrorism in every respect" – a rare use of the 'T word' in the context of fellow Israelis. Ministers also announced that interrogation of suspected Jewish extremists could now involve violent shaking, a controversial measure which, until now, was used exclusively on Palestinians. By doing so, Netanyahu is making a statement calculated to send a very specific message to Israeli extremists: 'if you behave like this, you will be no different than Palestinian terrorists, and you will be treated accordingly.'
Yet the actions of Israeli extremists pose a major dilemma for Netanyahu. His government has a razor-thin majority, and is kept afloat by parties from the far-right and the nationalist religious camp, who, while condemning the attacks, represent settler and religious constituencies, some of whom sympathise with the motivations of the perpetrators. They could threaten to walk out if Bibi used these attacks to crack down on rightist activists.
Meanwhile Palestinian anger grows. The PLO was also frustrated by the Iran nuclear deal, because it distracted the world's attention from Palestinian grievances. As Israelis build new houses in the West Bank after knocking down Palestinian ones, and as Israeli extremists attack Palestinians, they see that international focus lies elsewhere. As such, pressure is mounting on Mahmoud Abbas to "do something" about it. Talk of 'intifada' fills the air.
Hamas meanwhile, rearming and rebuilding its Gaza tunnel network, is under increasing pressure from an Egypt seeking to eliminate all Islamists in its environs, and increasing activity by ISIS/Islamic State challenging their rule in Gaza.
In short, tensions could not be higher, or the situation more volatile. That Israel-Palestine is not currently an international priority issue may be the most dangerous element of all.

Then one morning she returns from her run to discover that a terrible incident has shaken her comfortable neighborhood, and the fault lines begin to open: on the block, at her job, especially in her marriage.

From the bestselling authors of "America's First Daughter" comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.
Jenna Fischer | An Actor's Life: A Survival Guide

Ethical Society St. Louis
Doors open at 6 p.m. | Event starts at 7 p.m.
Left Bank Books welcomes actress and St. Louis native Jenna Fischer, who will sign and discuss her new book, The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide! Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt. With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who's made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor.
*Fischer's event is sold out, but make sure to watch her one-one-one conversation with HEC (and all these authors) after their events on hectv.staging.wpengine.com!
Sarah Kendzior | The View From Flyover Country: Dispatches from the Forgotten America
April 17, 2018
Left Bank Books
Doors open at 6 p.m. | Event starts at 7 p.m.
Left Bank Books & Maryville Talks Books welcome St. Louis journalist Sarah Kendzior, who will sign and discuss her new book, The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches from the Forgotten America! St. Louis–based writer and expert in authoritarian states Sarah Kendzior has been called "a Cassandra in Trumpland," and is often credited with first predicting Donald Trump's presidential victory. A clear-eyed account of the realities of life in America's overlooked heartland, The View from Flyover Country is a piercing critique of the labor exploitation, racism, gentrification, media bias, and other aspects of the post-employment economy that gave rise to a president who rules like an autocrat. The View from Flyover Country is necessary reading for anyone who believes that the only way for America to fix its problems is to first discuss them with honesty and compassion.
Nicholas Reynolds | Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy: Ernest Hemingway's Secret Adventures
May 15, 2018
St. Louis County Library Headquarters
Doors open at 6 p.m. | Event starts at 7 p.m.
In 2010, while he was the historian at the esteemed CIA Museum, Nicholas Reynolds, a longtime American intelligence officer, former U.S. Marine colonel, and Oxford-trained historian, began to uncover clues suggesting Nobel Prize-winning novelist Ernest Hemingway was deeply involved in mid 20th Century spycraft — a mysterious and shocking relationship that was far more complex and fraught with risks than has ever been previously supposed. A literary biography with the soul of an espionage thriller, Reynolds's meticulously researched narrative reveals for the first time the whole story of this hidden side of Hemingway's life.

Northern Ireland 2-0 Norway
FIRST-HALF GOALS from Jamie Ward and Conor Washington helped Northern Ireland to a 2-0 win over Norway in Windsor Park this evening.
Michael O'Neill's side remain second in Group C, five points behind leaders Germany who extended their 100% record on Sunday with a 4-1 win against Azerbaijan.
Nottingham Forest's Ward opened the scoring after just 87 seconds before Washington doubled the hosts' advantage in the 33rd minute, keeping a cool head to slot the ball through Rune Jarstein's legs.
Norway did have their chances, not least when Havard Nordtveit's free kick drew a fine save from Michael McGovern.
But Lars Lagerback's first match in charge was to end in defeat, leaving Norway stranded in second last place, seven points behind Northern Ireland.

CLINTON, N.Y. – Freshman Natasha Feenstra was the hero for the Wesleyan University women's squash team on Sunday, winning the deciding match with the score at 4-4 to help the Cardinals defeat host Hamilton College in the seventh-place match at the NESCAC Championships. The 21st-ranked Cardinal squad was pushed to the brink by the No. 22 Continentals, but for the second time this season, Wesleyan prevailed thanks, in part, to strong play at the top of the lineup.
- The match came down to Feenstra and Caitlin Stern, who coincidentally are both freshmen from Greenwich, Conn. After splitting the first two games, Feenstra pulled out an extremely tight third game to go up 2-1 overall. The two were tied at 8-8 in the fourth game, with Feenstra only three points from victory, but it was Stern who stormed ahead to win and push their match into a deciding fifth game. Things looked bleak for Wesleyan as Stern took a demanding 7-1 lead, but Feenstra stayed steady and worked her way back into the game, reeling off seven points in a row and eventually prevailing on her first match ball, completing the comeback and playing the role of hero with a dramatic 11-6, 7-11, 17-15, 8-11, 11-9 win.
- Fellow freshman Aditi Prasad and sophomore Nina Premutico, who both missed action yesterday due to illnesses, came back into the lineup and had key five-game victories earlier in the match. Prasad fought through a tough challenge from Charlotte Zonis to win 8-11, 11-7, 5-11, 11-6, 11-7 at No. 2, while Premutico defeated Katherine Bauer 11-6, 10-12, 11-7, 7-11, 11-6 at No. 6.
- Freshman Ananya Vir was efficient and helped to build some momentum for the Cardinals with a three-game win at No. 3 over Megan Grip 11-4, 11-9, 11-7.
- Senior Laila Samy also played a big role in the win, earning another one of Wesleyan's five points with her win at No. 1. Her unbeaten streak this season continued with an 11-3, 11-2, 11-8 win over Rafiatou Ouro Aguy.
- With its win over Hamilton, Wesleyan concludes its weekend in seventh place in the NESCAC and now looks ahead towards the CSA National Championship, which is scheduled for February 16-18 at Harvard.

More on Apple's two-factor authentication: Apple Watch, app passwords, more
There's still a lot of confusion over Apple's two-step verification and two-factor authentication systems, so here are a few things I've come across since making the switch, which hopefully help clarify the details of this system.
The Apple Watch (at least running watchOS 2) cannot receive two-factor verification codes. However, if you want to take advantage of the Auto Unlock features of watchOS 3 and macOS Sierra, it still seems to require that two-factor authentication be enabled on your account. (It doesn't seem as though the older two-step verification system is sufficient.)
If you want to see a list of trusted devices and those that can receive two-factor codes (which largely but not entirely overlap), go to the iCloud preference pane on your Mac, or the iCloud section of Settings on your iOS device, and look at your account, then select Devices. That'll provide a list of every device logged into your iCloud account; selecting each will tell you if they're trusted and can receive two-factor codes.
- I noticed that some of my devices were not listed as trusted here, including my iPad Air 2. I'm positing that's because before a device can be considered trusted, you need to at some point enter your password and a two-factor authentication code. Easiest way to do this seems to be viewing your iCloud account on that device, as above. Once I entered my password and entered an authentication code, that device was then listed as trusted.
Sometimes the map you get informing you where a login attempt is originating doesn't accurately reflect where you actually are. 1 I'm guessing that's because if the login attempt is made on a device without a GPS unit, Apple defaults to using Wi-Fi-based location, which can be inaccurate, since it's essentially based on a database matching Wi-Fi access points with geographical locations. If routers are moved between locations, the database doesn't always update quickly. (Update: Twitter user Guillaume says that the maps are actually based on looking up the location of an IP. Which would definitely explain why they can be so far off.)
As I mentioned in the original article, some of my devices didn't seem to be automatically receiving two-factor codes. I've since heard this from a few other folks, and though I haven't been able to figure out exactly why this is the case, try the usual suspects: reboot the device, log out and back into iCloud, and, if all else fails, give it some time. My iPhone was not receiving codes yesterday when I enabled the system, but it seemed to be working today.
As mentioned in a subsequent update, two-factor authentication does not remove the need for app-specific passwords, but it does seem that you no longer need them for any Apple services. (However, if you have a Mac or iOS device running on older software, you may need to resort to a workaround wherein you enter your password and two-factor code together to log in.) Third-party services that don't support Apple's two-factor method—and here I'm not clear if it's possible for them to support it or not—may still require an app-specific password, which you can generate at Apple's Apple ID management site. That said, I noticed when I went there to audit my app-specific passwords that they'd all been removed—probably when I switched over to two-factor authentication. 2
That's what I've discovered so far. Got any further questions or observations? Let me know via email or Twitter!
This morning, for example, I logged in to my iCloud account from my local coffee shop, and I was pleasantly informed that an attempt had been made from somewhere in New Jersey. I am pretty sure I am not in New Jersey—though can any of us ever truly be certain? ↩
Apple does not specifically say this will happen, but it does note that if you change or reset your Apple ID password, it will revoke all app-specific passwords. ↩

Currently I am flicking through old and new magazines trying to find inspiration to write about something mind blowing. Although the world is host to many inspiring aspects I cannot find the focus to sit down and write about one in particular and so my head feels full, full of ideas trying to make their way out yet I am finding it particularly difficult putting pen to paper.
Sometimes emotions and overwhelming experiences can prevent a person from thinking straight. Due to working ridiculous hours I am finding myself lost in a trance and walking around in a daydream which for someone who could already be described as a daydreamer surely isn't safe.

EPam Wars Release Details
Friday, May 1st at 5:00PM EDT
DOWNLOAD FREE at 4203.us
EPam Wars will be available to download, this Friday, FREE at 4203.us and EPamWars.com!
- Over 10 playable characters!
- Over 15 hours of gameplay!
- Over 45 Achievements!
- Over 60 unique skills!
- Over 150 unique enemies!
- Over 425 unique items!
- Over 450 "celebrity" cameos!
- (Literally) thousands of references!
- (Oh, and did someone say mini-games? Trust me. There are mini-games…)
As gamers have come to expect from blockbuster Triple-A releases, EPam Wars will enter the world in a slightly less-than-polished state. In the initial release the COMPLETE GAME will be playable ONLY in the JEDI difficulty mode.
On May 8th, the first of two planned post-release patches will roll out. This first patch will include the PADAWAN difficulty mode, as well as any bug fixes that are required after the initial launch.
On June 19th, the second patch will be released. The only core aspects of EPam Wars that are not yet complete are the animations used by some enemies in battle (Aren't those kind've important? Nah!). At present, every player animation and most boss attack animations are already complete. However, a fair portion of enemies use placeholder animations that vaguely approximate the intended representation of a given attack. The second patch will fill in all of the remaining animations as well as any bug fixes discovered after the first patch.
On August 29th, the second patch will be released. This will include a roll up of all previously released patches, additional bug fixes (if there are any) as well as any balance changes suggested by the community. The GOTY Set will also ship with a DVD containing the original EPam Wars film, now with producer's commentary.
[Update: The GOTY Edition is delayed indefinitely. No one gives a fuck.]
So, there you have it. EPam Wars: Summer
2004 2015
The reality of the situation is pretty simple. I set an arbitrary release date based on my "S.O.S." tagline, came a little bit shy of cramming in everything I wanted, but decided to launch anyway. Essentially, I'm doing what Notch did when he moved Minecraft from "Beta" to "Finished." The key differences being that I have plans to actually finish EPam Wars with all previously promised features intact, and I'm not saying it's "done" just to make an extra 25% from each sale… God, I hate Notch…
"Did you even ask anyone else to beta test?"
"I've literally asked everyone."

Dianne says this is THE FINEST game she'll play all year ;(
May 16, 2015 at 1:23 am
Well, tomorrow's the day. Let's see if this shit actually happens.
And what the fuck is this shit? Here we go getting all excited at the prospect of this game FINALLY getting released, and you fuck us over with a bunch of shit like betas and patches and GOTY editions and Future Funland editions and Postpartum Depression editions? What's next, DLC? DRM? Why don't you just FINISH the fucking game, and then release it, you lousy motherfucker! I guess it's easy to release the game after all, if you don't plan on releasing it in its finished form. I'm fully expecting another 'Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing' here.
And you can only play it on Jedi mode? That's like releasing Doom and only letting you play on the fucking Nightmare difficulty. And there's an EPam Wars community now too? Am I the only member? I also don't think May 2015 is quite summer yet, so delay it another month or two. That will give you the time you need to finish it, if you don't slack off. Next thing you know we'll be getting The Daigles in the summer of 2004, but it will be delayed until the summer of 2015, and then it will only be a 5-track EP, and then you'll release the long-awaited full-length LP months later.

India all rounder Yusuf Pathan has been reportedly dropped from the Baroda team which is scheduled to play against Saurashtra in the quarterfinals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday (February 22). Yusuf Pathan will be replaced by Akshay Brahmbhatt in the tournament.
Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) officials said that the player selection committee had seen mixed opinions over the decision to drop a senior cricketer, Yusuf Pathan, ahead of a crucial match.
Poor performance main reason behind exclusion of Yusuf Pathan from Baroda
A Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) member said, as reported by Cricbuzz,
"Yusuf played six matches in the tournament but didn't perform well. So, it was decided to drop him and give chance to another player. His poor performance is the only reason behind leaving him out."
Sources in the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) informed that two selectors in the selection committee were against dropping Yusuf Pathan, as they felt that Pathan brought a winning combination to the squad.
However, the other three selectors on the panel had a word with the Baroda coach, and concluded that the all-rounder and former Team India star should be dropped for the Vijay Hazare quarterfinals against Saurashtra.
The 35-year-old Yusuf Pathan had joined the Baroda squad for the Vijay Hazare tournament at the last moment, just before the kickoff of the domestic ODI cricket competition.
Earlier, Yusuf wasn't even considered in the team of probables for the Baroda squad, but his name was included during the selection of the final 15 only after he passed the fitness test.
Yusuf scored only 79 runs from the six matches he played in the Vijay Hazare tournament, with his highest score being a dismal 28. Pathan had also claimed one wicket, but that was it for the veteran. However, it seems that all is not lost for the cricketing veteran, as if denied for Vijay Hazare trophy, his skills can still be used in other tournaments.
Yusuf Pathan set to feature in Dhaka Premier League
The Baroda cricketer will travel to Dhaka on 22nd February to feature in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) for a second time, after getting a cold shoulder from his domestic cricket team.
Although BCCI is usually uptight about letting the Indian cricketers go to foreign major T20 leagues, the body has allowed a handful of cricketers to participate in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), such as Yusuf Pathan, Unmukt Chand, Manoj Tiwary, and Parvez Rasool.
Yusuf Pathan, who has previously featured in the DPL in 2016, will represent the Abahani Limited in the T20 tournament. Pathan was also picked in the 2018 Indian Premier League auctions by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 1.9 crore, ending the veteran's run with KKR which had been strong so far.

We're not taking out many home improvement loans
Chicagoans are some of the least likely big city homeowners to take out home improvement loans, according to a new study.
Among 50 U.S. cities, Chicago is one of three tied for 45th place on home improvement borrowing, according to the report released July 30 by Lending Tree, the online loan lead generator and mortgage broker based in Charlotte, North Carolina. That is, homeowners in only three of the 50 cities took out a smaller share of home loans. They are Houston, Miami and New York.
In the Chicago area, home improvement loans were taken out on 0.28 percent of all homes in 2017, according to Lending Tree's research, which used Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for that year. The same figure applies in San Francisco and New Orleans.
The figures for all cities seem tiny, said Tendayi Kapfidze, Lending Tree's chief economist, because "a big home improvement isn't something you do every year. Maybe you do it every 10 years."
In the two cities with the highest loan figures, San Jose and Oklahoma City, the percentage of homes with improvement loans was about three times the figure for those in Chicago; at least 0.75 percent of homes in those cities had improvement loans in 2017. And the top nine cities all had at least twice the borrowing rate of Chicago.
Two factors contributed to Chicago's comparatively low use of home improvement loans in 2017, Kapfidze said.
One is that Chicago, like New York and some other cities with a low home improvement loan figure, has a large share of rental housing. Owners of rentals often finance improvements via vehicles other than home improvement loans, he said.
The other factor, which may be more specific to Chicago among the cities low on the list, is the large number of homeowners here who are underwater on their mortgage. Homeowners who owe more on the mortgage than the home is worth generally can't borrow against the home to make improvements. "You usually have to have more than 20 percent equity or you're excluded from borrowing," Kapfidze said.
At the end of 2017, the year that Lending Tree's study covers, Chicago had more homeowners who were underwater than New York and Los Angeles combined.
The lower level of borrowing for home improvements in Chicago means that ownership housing is "absolutely" being refreshed or updated in smaller numbers than in the cities where borrowing is stronger, Kapfidze said.
Home improvement borrowing has risen steadily in recent years, along with the housing market and the overall economy, Kapfidze said, but in the cities with high rates of borrowing, "there is an external X-factor that is driving it." In Oklahoma City, he said, it's the energy boom, and in San Jose, "we've all heard what Silicon Valley is doing to real estate" values.

Catawba, South Carolina is Native American Country. The Indians fought the English for it until the early 1900s. The soil was once perfect for farmland, but then the red clay that lies under it become its downfall. It leads to the soil being washed away with each planting. Eventually, the English turned to the Native Americans and they began to trade so that they could thrive side by side. The Native American culture is still very strong in the area. You can see it in the architecture all through the city.
While you are here, you should visit Landsford Canal State Park. It is perfect for learning the history because it is the original canal system, and you can even take a canoe down this same system today. You will love how the park is perfectly set up to enjoy a picnic with the family. It is a great place to spend the day and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Just sixteen miles from Catawba is Fountain Park. It is worth the trip while you are visiting because it was designed by the students of the area. The fountains shoot up sixteen feet. They are beautifully designed and so perfectly beautiful. It is very much worth the quick drive.

Like eating and breathing, sleeping is an essential part of living. You've probably heard a lot about how much sleep you need—typically 7 to 8 hours for adults. But the quality of your sleep matters, too. So what exactly is considered a good night's rest? And how can sleeping well help your body and mind?
In a recent report, the National Sleep Foundation set out to define quality sleep. Before its report, there was no consensus among health experts on exactly what it meant to sleep well. So the foundation put together a panel. The panel included people trained in sleep medicine. It also had representatives from organizations like the American Academy of Neurology and the Society for Women's Health Research.
The panel reviewed the latest studies on sleep quality. From its review, it identified 4 key markers of a good night's rest. Solid shuteye means:
It takes you no more than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
You don't wake up more than once in a night.
If you do wake up, it takes you no more than 20 minutes to fall back asleep.
When you are in bed, you spend more than 85% of your time sleeping.
Sleeping well in today's demanding, fast-paced society can be a challenge. Ongoing research shows it's worth the effort, though. Here are 3 reasons to put sleep at the top of your to-do list.
If you are struggling for shuteye, you are more likely to become sick. Ever wonder why? In a recent study, researchers may have found the answer. They looked at the sleep patterns of a small group of twins. Each twin set had one twin who slept on average 60 minutes less than the other. The researchers took blood samples from the study participants. After looking at the blood, they were able to see how parts of the immune system—specifically the white blood cells—didn't work as well in twins who usually slept less than their brother or sister.
We tend to forget more as we grow older. A good night's rest may help save some of your memory. So says a recent review in Sleep Medicine. Researchers looked at 18 past studies that measured thinking skills and length of sleep in older adults. They found that sleeping too little or even too much can affect how well your mind works, especially your memory.
Over time, not sleeping enough may affect your overall health. It may lead to serious diseases. One recent study of more than 25,000 people found a lack of sleep may be linked to cancer. Those in the study who said they worked the night shift for more than 20 years were about a quarter more likely to develop the disease in their lifetime. Other past research has suggested too little sleep for too long may raise your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression.

Chinese Influence Operations in the U.S.: Shedding Some Light on All the Heat
Webcast Recap
In 2017, prior to the White House's declaration that China was a "horrible danger" to American interests, economic well-being, and values, U.S. China-watchers had become increasingly alarmed about Chinese political influence on American institutions and communities. Concern about the impact of Chinese Communist Party United Front work, investment, espionage, and market power on American higher education, film, technology, and other industries has grown since and has emerged as a new factor in bilateral relations. Despite the legitimate and serious issues raised under this banner, the "influence" issue is often poorly defined, exaggerated, and abused. In China itself, American worries about the corrosive stateside influence of the CCP are little-discussed.
Please join us for a critical examination of CCP influence — and the influence discourse — in the United States.

THERE'S a new kid on Ballarat's accommodation block, and it's begging to be discovered.
Rich in history and oozing character, the Coach House is the kind of space you never want to leave.
A labour of love for husband-and-wife duo Amy and Dylan De Silva, the guest house is a work of contemporary elegance laden with the beauty of yesteryear.
According to Amy, a mother-of-two, designer and avid renovator, owning a guest house has always been a dream of hers.
"Once we discovered the house, we jumped at the opportunity," Amy says.
"We wanted a space for others to enjoy and discover first-hand what wonderful experiences Ballarat has to offer!"
"As experienced renovators and passionate about design and architecture, we love to embrace new challenges and grow from the journey."
Established circa 1875, the Coach House is a true piece of Ballarat history. The renovated space still boasts its original period features, and is truly a place for admirers of architecture, heritage and luxury.
You'll even see some of Amy's very own art works adorning the walls - further adding to the creative energy of the space.
Sleeping eight guests, the Coach House is the perfect space for a group gathering - whether it be a girls' getaway, a family escape, or a romantic retreat.
"With the interior designed for luxe living, we've included all the finer touches with the highest quality furnishings and we provide our guests with a relaxing and comfortable stay," Amy says.
Born and bred as a country girl, there's no denying Amy is a lover of beauty, calm and serenity.
It's these very elements that have been injected into the Coach House, and which are experienced during one's stay.
"We're excited for each one of our guests to enjoy what we have created - to unwind and escape the busyness of everyday life in an idyllic location, central to all the town's attractions."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The "New Mexico True" tourism brand developed by outgoing Republican Gov. Susana Martinez may be expanded under Democratic Gov.-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham.
The expansion may come amid pressure for New Mexico to join other western states in creating an Office of Outdoor Recreation.
As a candidate, Lujan Grisham promised to seek efforts to attract more visitors to the Southwestern state and strengthen the "New Mexico True" brand.
The Martinez Administration has credited the "New Mexico True" for "record-breaking" tourism during her first seven years in office. The brand uses images of New Mexico's popular tourist attractions in billboards and commercials in Texas, Arizona, New York and Illinois.
The campaign encourages visitors to tagged New Mexico photos on social media with the #NewMexicoTrue hashtag.
The travel show New Mexico True Television has earned three Regional Emmy Awards.

A former Nazi death camp guard dubbed the "Accountant of Auschwitz" has died before he could begin serving his four-year sentence, a lawyer has told German prosecutors.
Hannover prosecutor Kathrin Soefker said a lawyer informed her office that Oskar Groening, 96, died in a hospital last Friday.
The office is awaiting an official death certificate, Ms Soefker said.
The lawyer, Hans Holtermann, did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation.
Groening's death first was reported by German weekly Der Spiegel today.
He was convicted in Lueneburg in 2015 as an accessory to the murder of 300,000 Jewish people.
The Lueneburg court concluded that although there was no evidence of involvement in a specific killing, Groening knew that Jews were being slaughtered at the German death camp and supported the killings through his actions.
Groening testified at his trial that he oversaw the collection of prisoners' belongings at Auschwitz and ensured valuables and cash were separated to be sent to Berlin - the actions that earned him the "Accountant of Auschwitz" label.
He said he witnessed individual atrocities, but did not acknowledge participating in any crimes.
All of his appeals were rejected, and it was only his ill health that kept him from being sent to prison in recent years.
Most recently, his lawyers made one final bid for clemency, a decision on which was still pending.
Efraim Zuroff, the head Nazi hunter for the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said it was unfortunate that Groening's conviction did not result in "at least symbolic justice" for the victims of Auschwitz.
In 2011, former Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk became the first person convicted in Germany solely for serving as a death camp guard without evidence of being involved in a specific killing.
Demjanjuk, who always denied serving at the Sobibor camp, died before his appeal could be heard.
In 2016, former SS sergeant Reinhold Hanning was convicted on 170,000 counts of accessory to murder for serving as an Auschwitz guard.
He, too, died before he could begin serving his five-year sentence.
Hanning apologised for his wartime service, telling Holocaust survivors that "it disturbs me deeply" to have been a part of the Nazis' genocidal machinery.

Mickey Mouse is turning 90 — and he's going all out with his party venue.
A 16,000 square-foot space in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan has been converted into the Micky Mouse Clubclubhouse from the 1990s. That's right, you now have the chance to bop around that classic diner set just like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Ryan Gosling and more did 25 years ago— and EW has an exclusive first look at the space.
In addition to the recreated set, Mickey: The True Original Exhibition includes art and installations including Cosmic Cavern, a Mickey plush tower and many more interactive multi-sensory experiences, photo opportunities.
"For more than 60 years, the Mickey Mouse Club television series brought our True Original into the hearts and homes of millions of kids and families around the world," the exhibition's curator Darren Romanelli tells EW. "We thought it was only fitting to celebrate this pivotal chapter of Mickey's story by bringing to life the iconic set we all remember from the 1990's All New Mickey Mouse Club. We hope fans will love discovering the throwback touches, the curated 90's jukebox, and select archival pieces from each version of the club. Guests might even be inspired to recreate some of the legendary performances that graced the clubhouse stage."
Mickey: The True Original Exhibition will be open to the public Nov. 8 through Feb. 10 at 60 Tenth Ave. in New York City. Tickets can be purchased at disney.com/mickeytrueoriginal.

So who was making the most noise at the launch of the ¡Vamos! festival of Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking cultures on Newcastle Quayside?
No contest. Hannabiell Sanders, who describes herself as an African American Jamaican living in Newcastle, transcended language and culture barriers with the aid of her willing accomplice, Tyler.
Tyler is a bass trombone, a mighty beast almost as long when fully extended as Hannabiell is tall. Together they are a force of nature, sending out compelling rhythms to animate an audience.
The pair have performed with The Drifters, Kathryn Tickell (for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad), New York-based Harlem Symphony Orchestra and ex-Newcastle United player Nobby Solano's band, The Geordie Latinos. As champions of music they are nothing if not versatile.
As other ¡Vamos! participants swayed and tapped their feet, Hannabiell kept going. On a grey day she summoned up rhythms more suitable to sunshine.
When the music stopped, she didn't look even slightly tired. She could, she confided, have kept going for hours, the result of a thorough musical grounding in a succession of tough schools.
"I've been playing trombone since I was nine," she told me as those finnally released from her musical spell began to disperse.
Casting her mind back to childhood days in New Jersey, she recalled local high school students coming to demonstrate their instruments to the younger, elementary school kids.
She told her mother after scrutinising all that was on display: "I want to play the long slidy thing."
There was some doubt over whether her arms would be long enough but she took up the tenor trombone and later graduated to the bass.
She studied music at Norfolk State University, Virginia, a traditionally black institution where the notion of protest music was well understood, and joined its Spartan Legion Marching Band.
The name is a clue to the approach. "We practised every day," said Hannabiell.
In 2001 she became a member of the even more scary sounding Cadets of Bergen County drum and bugle corps, information she imparts as a soldier might own up to SAS membership.
"That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life," she confided.
"We practised for hours, playing music while we made beautiful patterns in a field, and that is why I could now play all day.
"My background in music was pretty intensive."
She completed her American education at Rutgers University, New Jersey, where she ran music workshops and projects before graduating with a teaching qualification.
"I'd say my enthusiasm for working and playing together, the desire to make things happen, came from Norfolk State University and my business knowledge came from Rutgers," she said.
Hannabiell taught in the United States and then, for a time, in South Africa, all the while honing her skills on the bass trombone.
Finally she came here.
"I've been in the North East for the past five years," she said. "I came to pursue my Masters and then embarked on a PhD in music performance at Newcastle University.
"This is the last year and I'm writing it up now. I'll apply to stay another year."
Hannabiell – winner last year of a Journal Culture Award – and her partner, the artist, performer and musician Yilis del Carmen Suriel, are both from New Jersey although Yilis was born in the Dominican Republic, moving to the United States at the age of nine.
Yilis also enrolled at Newcastle University where she attained her BA and Masters degrees in fine art.
For seven years the pair have worked together as The Ladies of Midnight Blue, describing themselves as an Afro-Latin percussion and brass duet who have performed all over the world for festivals, charity benefits, peace rallies and protest marches.
Yes, if you want to protest in style, these particular ladies can help to make it happen.
Recently they returned from a 40-day trip to Malaysia and India where they performed for huge, enthusiastic audiences.
You can hear them again at their own festival, Harambee Pasadia North East, which is taking place for the second year running at The Barn, Easington, County Durham, from May 23-26.
It is described as "a four-day family camping extravaganza in celebration of diverse cultures, foods, music, artists and fusions of the African diaspora". You can opt to camp on the farm, go on guided forest and beach walks, attend African drumming, salsa dancing or capoeira workshops and enjoy live music from Too Spicy, Nansady Kelta, the 10th Avenue Rhythm Band, The Larks and others – including, of course, The Ladies of Midnight Blue.
For Hannabiell and Yilis this year's event marks the launch of their new company, Creative Visions and Rhythms, which aims to bring people of all backgrounds together through music and art.
"It will be great fun," promised Hannabiell. "Last year we expected about 150 people and we got 215. This year we're expecting between 200 and 300 people and we're looking forward to playing. There will be music and workshops and big beach games... that's a big American thing! It'll be great to get a lot of people hanging out together."
It really sounds like fun. There will certainly be a lot of music and a lot of energy will be expended.
All ticket, camping and performance details for Harambee Pasadia North East – along with forthcoming appearances by Hannabiell and The Ladies of Midnight Blue – can be found online at www.hannabiell.com
You can also see Hannabiell in the ¡Vamos! mardi gras procession up Northumberland Street at 12 noon on June 7 – www.vamosfestival.com – and at the Newcastle Community Green Festival in Leazes Park on June 8 – www.newcastlegreenfestival.org.uk
And if you really can't wait that long – she's in demand, this young lady – Ladies of Midnight Blue will be entertaining tonight (7-11pm) as part of The Late Shows. Catch them at the venue known as North Wing (School House Rocks, Uptin House, Stepney Road, Newcastle) where you will also be able to see a print exhibition by Yilis, work by other artists and a screening of People Like Us by film-maker Tina Gharavi.

Modular homes in Ontario have come a long way in the last 50 years. Every year, there are more and more modular home companies being developed who manufacture and sell homes. While traditional home builders are still the dominant choice the tide is shifting. The modular home industry is really reinventing itself with customizable options, onsite additions, and a way better bang for your buck.
In the GTA alone there are over 35,000 new homes built a year, and I can see in the next 5 years hundred's of those new homes built with modular homes. It just makes sense, they are built to the same code, built better, and cost $1000's less. The Modular wave is coming.

Museum Store
Titan Missile Museum
Reservations Required for All Tours
You'll want to browse the Museum Store during your visit to the Museum. You can purchase Titan II, Civil Defense, and other memorabilia, including pocket dosimeters used to detect radiation, rebar salvaged from Titan II missile sites, and replicas of an actual Titan II launch key. The Titan Missile Museum Store is also your source for educational toys and books, adult and children's sweatshirts, tee shirts and caps, as well as those quirky, hard-to-find items for your home, office, or bomb shelter.
I LOVE the Titan Missile Museum. It is a wealth of information and a part of living history. This place is great for anyone who loves aviation, computer programming, Cold War history, or just wants to hear a great story told by someone who actually ran and operated a working missile silo in the 1960's."

I gave her 4.5 stars for value because I always think flowers are over priced, but she was actually the most reasonable quote that I had received. I was very impressed with her work, responsiveness, knowledge and mostly the results. Thank you Darcee!"

My main research interests are in semantics and pragmatics and the interface between them; more specifically I am interested in how meanings are expressed and understood in different contexts of utterance and the discourse factors that allow interlocutors to understand one another.
My PhD research investigated the communicative effects of using conditionals (sentences of the form 'if p, (then) q') in ordinary discourse. Through a qualitative analysis of conditionals using 'if' taken from the International Corpus of English (GB), I argued that in order to account for the fact that conditional sentences using 'if' are not limited to conditional meanings (e.g. 'if you wouldn't mind…', 'if you think about it…', etc), but equally that conditional thoughts can be expressed without using 'if' (e.g. 'take one more step or I'll shoot!'), I offered a pragmatic definition of conditionals. This is a move away from the traditional idea that we can define conditionals through grammatical or lexical cues. The upshot for the semantics of conditionals is that the unit of investigation cannot be limited to specific sentence types; instead, what is said is defined as in the theory of Default Semantics (Jaszczolt 2005, 2010, 2016) in which semantic content pertains to the primary, intended meaning of the utterance.
My current project, 'Pragmatics in interaction: An exploration of miscommunication' takes this idea further, focussing on cases of miscommunication to identify the sources of information that lead to meaning recovery. In particular, I depart from the traditional Gricean view that meanings are determined by the speaker's intention behind a single utterance, but towards the view that participants co-construct meanings in interaction. In taking a broadly interactionist approach to meanings, the aim is then to merge current post-Gricean approaches to meaning with interactional ones to develop a redefinition of 'successful communication'. This will be achieved by examining (i) the sources of information that contribute to meanings (e.g. issues of timings, other utterances in the discourse), (ii) what level we should describe meanings at (utterance, discourse, or both), and (iii) if meanings are co-created 'on-the-fly' by all participants, or if speakers always need to communicate their intentions in order for communication to be successful.

"all in", faith, heart, love, vulnerable
I invest in people. That's what I do. Most every day I invest in someone. It's not just my job, it's my life. When I wasn't paid to invest in people, I still did. For me, life is about investing in people.
All people matter, but I invest in some people more than others. Some are closer to me than others. Some people I have a higher responsibility for than others. Some people are naturally closer to my heart than others. Some of my investments are more personal than others.
The only way to make a true investment in someone is to give them a piece of your heart. The larger my investment in someone the more of my heart they get. Those in whom I am most invested, the ones that are most personal, these receive my whole heart. I hold nothing back from them. They receive all of me—all I have to give.
Something truly magical happens when you give someone your whole heart. It's magical for the recipient, surely, since everybody desires to be loved. But more importantly, something magical happens for me when I open myself up and give of myself freely and entirely. There is nothing like being "all in" with someone. It's the greatest risk. The height of vulnerability. Maximum exposure. Yet with all that comes the freedom to be completely selfless. The freedom to pursue only the other's best interest. The freedom to give without expectation of receiving.
My deepest desire for those in whom I invest is that they would know that they are loved. And for those in whom I am most invested, that they would know they are loved completely. That they would simply receive what I give them. That they would allow me to love them. And that my love would assure them that they can invest with all of their hearts as well.
Yet many do not respond in this way. Many to whom I have given all of myself find it difficult to give all of themselves. Sometimes they can give very little of themselves. Sometimes they just don't trust that they can be loved so completely. They don't believe that it is possible for someone to give all of themselves, especially to them. They don't have faith that such a love is even possible, must less possible for them.
And so I am finding that oftentimes the return on my investment is faithlessness. Those in whom I am most heavily invested frequently respond with distrust. They respond with disbelief. They respond by hiding from me. And this has caused me the greatest sorrow: that those whom I have given all of my heart time after time after time, would still not have the faith to trust that my heart is all theirs. Perhaps, then, the greatest of all pain is that which comes from faithlessness; from loving completely and yet not being trusted.
Is this what it feels like to be God?

To the Editor:
Re "Life in College After a Life in Foster Care" (On Campus, nytimes.com, April 25):
Noel Anaya's experience is the norm for too many youths in foster care. All children deserve to reach their full potential, including being able to go to college and succeed there if they wish.
The landmark federal Fostering Connections to Success Act, which I helped implement in the Obama administration, provided a critical framework to address the educational needs of youths in foster care, minimizing school transfers and building stronger partnerships between child welfare agencies and schools.
We have to do more to create pathways for success through setting high expectations with the support to match them. This means building partnerships among the child welfare system, educational systems, the philanthropic community and business sectors.
Last year, New York City provided assistance to a set of young people in foster care to attend the City University of New York with tuition, year-round housing and living expenses covered. We partnered with CUNY and community-based organizations to provide specialized resident advisers for these students, helping connect them with employment and internship opportunities, as well as support services.
We started with 40 young people, and anticipate that by 2019, 200 will be able to take advantage of this program.
We hope that this partnership can serve as a model for other jurisdictions.

The beauty of our civic life comes from its diversity of people, opinions, and voices. This diversity can also lead to tension and strife. Yet, we all want to live with peace in our hearts and in the world. If we open ourselves up to really knowing others across our differences, then maybe our public life stands a chance.
