Bolivia ranks #92 in a World Bank list of the world's top economies, just 17 spots ahead of Afghanistan. But even Bolivians got universal healthcare before Americans did.
On Thursday, Venezuelan outlet Telesur reported that nearly six million Bolivians will officially be covered by a universal healthcare plan beginning in March, after President Evo Morales announced an ambitious plan to cover all uninsured citizens by going door-to-door and registering them for the program. That amounts to more than half of Bolivia's population of 11 million people now getting health coverage.
Morales also allocated more than $200 million USD for new hospitals and medical staff to bolster the program:
Starting in March the UHS will provide all Bolivians without insurance with free, quality medical attention that currently citizens have to pay for out of pocket or take out private insurance to cover. The government says that private insurance plans and people over the age of 60 already covered by social security will not be affected by the new plan.
…The administration hopes to register Bolivia's 5.8 million who don't have medical coverage or insurance under the Unified Health System and says it will hire some 8,000 doctors and nurses within the next several months to care for the new members of the system.
The fact that Bolivia has universal healthcare before the United States does suggests that the excuse many politicians opposed to universal healthcare use — that it would be too expensive — doesn't hold water. In terms of global economies, the United States ranks #1 in gross domestic product (GDP), at $19.3 trillion according to the 2017 data from the World Bank. Bolivia's GDP in 2017 was just $37.5 billion USD, making it more than 500 times smaller than U.S. GDP.
And according to the United Nations, Bolivia's economy is on the rise, posting four percent growth in 2018 alone. This makes Evo Morales' socialist government the fastest-growing economy in Latin America, more than three points higher than the average growth rate of other countries in the region. The Washington Post wrote that Bolivia has been posting budget surpluses each year between 2005 and 2014 since Socialists took over the government.
Meanwhile, per capita healthcare expenditures in the U.S. are far greater than in Bolivia, with 2015 World Bank data showing that the U.S. spent $9,535 per capita on healthcare, compared to just $197.26 USD in Bolivia. While 2016 life expectancy was just 69 years for Bolivians and 78 years for Americans, Bolivia's may very well go up as six million Bolivians will now have universal healthcare.
But in the U.S., life expectancy is dropping for the first time since World War I, mostly due to the opioid addiction crisis and a rising suicide rate. A large contributor to the suicide rate is, according to the Magazine for the Society for Science & the Public, economic circumstances like the loss of a job or health issues. A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that American health insurance premiums increased in cost by 200 percent between 1999 and 2017 — the same period studied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in mapping an average 30 percent increase in suicides across all 50 states.
However, the tide may be turning in favor of universal healthcare in the United States. A recent survey conducted by Politico and the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard University found that 68 percent of Americans support a national healthcare plan, like the Medicare for All proposal by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont). That survey came just months after a Reuters poll finding 70 percent national support for Medicare for All — including a majority of self-identified Republicans.

While most landlords pride themselves on playing a responsible role in the housing market, they can be occasionally be portrayed to the contrary.
Some tenants – and sections of the media – may like to paint a picture that landlords are greedy, ignore maintenance issues, and only want to turn a profit. But in reality, the tenant-landlord relationship is far more positive.
- Data reveals most profitable areas for landlords in 2018
- Landlords could earn £162,000 over 25 years
- What will the new housing minister, Kit Malthouse, mean for landlords?
- Find out more about landlord insurance
84 per cent of tenants are satisfied with their property
A new report by the English Housing Survey has found that the vast majority of tenants are far happier than the many articles out there might have you think. In fact, 84 per cent are satisfied with the property they live in.
On top of that, it found that 72 per cent of tenants in the private sector are satisfied with the way that their landlord carries out repairs or maintenance.
Myths about landlords
David Smith, policy director of the Residential Landlords Association - which carried out the research - said: "While we should never be complacent, these results confound the myths that some have peddled about the private rented sector.
"It shows once again that the vast majority of private sector landlords do a good job and look after their properties and tenants properly.
"The Government should recognise this and ensure policy supports the vast majority of landlords who are individuals that continue providing the good quality homes to rent we need while improving enforcement to root out the criminals who have no place in the market."
One in five households are tenants
The English Housing Survey report revealed the private rental sector accounted for 20 per cent of households in England.
The proportion of private rented sector households has doubled since 1996-1997, while the overall size of the private rented sector has increased from 2.1 million households in 1996-1997 to 4.7 million households in 2016-2017.
The report found that while 84 per cent of tenants were satisfied with their current accommodation, 68 per cent were either very or fairly satisfied with their current tenure.
The report also revealed that the three main household types in the private rented sector were 27 per cent being one person households, 24 per cent being couples with dependent children and 21 per cent being couples with no children. The remainder included other types of household, including lone parents with dependent children.

I did not just work out in 2018. I did lots of new things: I took a wilderness survival course, played Dungeons and Dragons, and made my own sourdough bread. I shared some of it here on RSJ, but there are a few that are my favorites.
Winner for the most absurd: Gonna Take Some Time To Do The Things We Never Had, Or Why The Music Video For Toto's Africa Exemplifies Graduate School. I stand by this sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
The one where I really got out of my comfort zone: To Build a Fire. I took that wilderness survival class and now I know what I don't know and know that I would not make it in the wilderness, but I can make a fire.
The one where I admitted I do kind of love my hometown: Thoughts on a Hometown. Still never moving back. Nope. Nope. (Watch it happen.)
Winner for the most accurate: The Dissertation Writing Process. Can you just hear Freddie Mercury and David Bowie singing "Under Pressure" in the background? It worked though. 2019 will see me defended and the little letters P H D after my name. What happens after is TBD.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Latest on negotiations on Missouri's spending plan for the fiscal year beginning in July (all times local):
9:50 p.m.
Missouri budgeters have finished a final version of the state's proposed $27 billion spending plan.
A panel of House and Senate negotiators on Wednesday unveiled the plan for the fiscal year starting in July. It needs a final vote of approval from the Legislature.
The proposal would increase basic aid for public K-12 schools enough to meet funding goals called for in state law.
But public colleges and universities would see core funding cuts of 6.6 percent. In-home care and nursing services for seniors and people with disabilities also would be reduced.
Other changes made Wednesday include giving $250,000 to Harris-Stowe State University for graduate programs.
Lawmakers have until Friday to send a final budget to Republican Gov. Eric Greitens.
7 p.m.
More than 8,300 Missouri seniors and people with disabilities would lose in-home care and nursing services under the latest state budget proposal for next fiscal year.
Budget negotiators on Wednesday unveiled a plan to cut funding for those services, which would mean people would need to demonstrate greater need in order to get state help.
Republican Gov. Eric Greitens initially proposed cutting the services in response to lower-than-expected revenues this fiscal year. He later backtracked.
The latest proposal would save the state more than $19 million.
House Budget Committee Chairman Scott Fitzpatrick said those services could be spared if lawmakers end a tax break for low-income senior and disabled renters. But that bill is stalled in the Senate.
Lawmakers have until Friday to pass a budget. Negotiators still need to sign off on the plan discussed Wednesday. It also needs final approval from the House and Senate.
6:33 p.m.
Funding for Missouri's public colleges and universities is set to be cut roughly 6.6 percent next fiscal year under lawmakers' latest budget plan.
House and Senate negotiators on Wednesday unveiled the proposal. Budgeters still need to sign off on the plan, and then it needs final approval from the House and Senate.
Lawmakers face a Friday deadline to pass a budget for the next fiscal year beginning in July.
The cut is less than the nearly 10 percent core reduction Republican Gov. Eric Greitens had recommended.
Budget negotiators also on Wednesday declined to give $1 million to Harris-Stowe State University for graduate programs.
St. Louis Democratic Sen. Jamilah Nasheed called for that funding and more money for Lincoln University — the state's two historically black universities.

D – On April 12, 2013 German distributor company Viering filed for insolvency at the District Court of Coesfeld. "Due to the negative special factors within the full-service business, which have had a direct effect on the liquidity of the company, the management saw itself forced to take this step," according to the official statement. It was also stated that one could however already announce that a "positive prognosis for the continuance of the concern together with a strategic investor" is in sight. Allegedly a recovery plan involving this forward-looking cooperation is currently being worked out with the provisional insolvency administrator, Michael Mönig.
Viering was founded in 1976 as Peter Viering GmbH and has been under the direction of Mark-Oliver Schrader since 1996. The company has particularly made a name for itself as a creative full-service provider and as an innovative exhibition organiser on the promotional products market, i.e. with the annual trade show Promotion Days.

Stand Alone Database -- 2
Ngân sách $250-750 USD
We are finishing a database in filemaker 18 pro.
I would guess its about 60% finished.
The database is for auto repair shops. It stores customers, vehicles and periodic maintenance items. It also functions as an inspection database. The program uses previous visits to estimate mileage per day.
That per day estimate allows us to estimate when mileage based services are due by date.
The software must be a standalone system. What I mean by that is it must Install and then operate without outside software being installed.
One report pulls all vehicles that have outstanding maintenance due it can pull many vehicles. Each vehicle report needs to be able to be sent to the owner without the software operator setting up and emailing each vehicle owner individually. Clicking "email" sends each individual their part of the report.
The email portion has not been started
Once we have it complete we will sell it as a PC based program or later possibly put it online.
The database needs to be able to be locked for non payment and we also want a 30 day trial period. This portion of the program has not been started.
The main calculation is not programmed correctly and needs adjustment.
Most of the tables and forms are there but need some adjustments.
We also want an inspection page which has not been started.
The reports are rough and need fine tuning.
I can share screen shots and answer any questions before you bid.
I am open to any suggestions that would make this software program better.
I've attached a couple screen shots to give you a feel.

Following hours of peaceful demonstrations, Baltimore police Commissioner Anthony Batts pronounced the city "stable" at a news conference Tuesday night, saying, "The curfew is, in fact, working." Now video of protester Joseph Kent being arrested is showing just what the commissioner means by "working."
Footage appears to show National Guard soldiers descending upon Kent, a 21-year-old protester violating the curfew, and forcibly bundling him into the back of an armored car. Kent was walking and had his hands up when the abduction occurred. The suddenness and speed of the maneuver had many online calling it a kidnapping.

As soon as we unloaded the gear the kids were running out into the surf, like little (or big) seals themselves, jumping in the crashing foam, catching waves and body surfing into shore. These are powerful waves, and frigid water, and loud spray, churning, wild. I was the last in, and the very first wave knocked me right under, disoriented and startled. A good warning. This is not the Atlantic. We had some surf like this in the Indian ocean when we got out past the reef, but most of my ocean experience has been more tame. To avoid being pummeled I swam out through the breaking waves and bobbed in the swell, before they crested. I was with Julia and Caleb, then they rode some waves in, and I drifted a little further out and down. Then I wanted to swim in. But I couldn't. I kept paddling, and getting no where. My feet could not find the bottom anymore, so I was surging up and down with the incoming breakers, but never being carried any closer to shore. The wet suit felt constricting, heavy, awkward for swimming. I was afraid, but telling myself not to panic, I could see everyone on shore, setting up the volleyball net, playing in the surf. I called to Julia to ask Caleb to help me . . but she never heard me. I just kept treading water to keep my head up, but making no progress towards shore. The ocean's power made my efforts irrelevant.
Then I saw Scott coming out with one of the "boogie boards", which he had somehow managed to get a turn on from the kids. As he paddled out to catch a wave I called him, and he finally saw me, and realized I was too far out. He came on his board, and I was so relieved when I could hold onto the board and to him. Now we're fine, I thought, I could catch my breath, and wouldn't have to face being smashed in the waves alone. But the two of us kicked on that board for a minute, for five minutes, and again were unable to get closer to shore. We were in a rip tide, one of the powerful currents, undersea rivers that flow parallel to shore or out to sea. Scott is strong, and he was working full-steam, with me adding all I could. When we saw we weren't moving, we changed out angle, going up-shore a bit to see if we could get a different approach that would put us in the right currents. It took a long time. Later Sonja told us that they had noticed on shore how long we were out there and how little we were moving and Kevin had just been preparing to come out on the larger surf board to rescue us when we finally broke out of our stalemate and started to inch towards the breaking waves. Even when we could finally touch bottom, the current was so strong I would not have been able to stand without holding onto Scott. At last we were pushed into the cauldron of shore-smashing waves and came out.
We were both very tired, and very thankful. Sonja's friends showed up about then and told her this was NOT a safe beach, that the tides here were unpredictable and dangerous, that it was better to swim a little further north. I had thought I was just weak, or scared, or unused to the wet suit . . but in reality it was a dangerous situation. If Scott had not been coming out to surf with the board I don't know how long it would have been before I was able to attract attention for help. Everyone was a bit sobered. We decided to stick with beach volleyball the rest of the afternoon. Which was a lot of fun.
All Myhre vacations have to have that little edge of potential death to make them full. It's not usually me who strays out too close to the edge, though. I'm thankful for my rescue by my husband, and thankful it was not one of the kids who discovered the rip tide. Nature, like God, beautiful but not "safe".

Hello blog world, I am Hubster and I am filling in for StorkChaser (SC) today. I guess I will just cut right to it. On Friday, we got the Big Fat Negative (BFN) and Aunt Flo (AF) arrived later that evening. For the first time since we have started Trying to Conceive (TTC), I did not take the BFN/AF very well. Don't get me wrong, I am always disappointed, but I haven't felt the room spinning, break something, shakes-fist-at-sky, tear filled disappointment that SC has felt until this weekend. I guess that's why I am posting.
Before I get into it, let me tell you a little about myself. Unlike SC, whose Infertility (IF) journey started years ago, mine started much more recently. Although SC told me about her history shortly after we started seeing each other, I never really thought a whole lot about it. I figured that even though she got the devastating news that there was a chance she may never be able to have kids after AF went missing after she completed her endo treatments, AF had since returned and had been back for awhile when we started dating. I knew there was a chance that SC and I may not be able to conceive without intervention, but as a predominant optimist, I always just assumed it would work out.
A little more history — when I was a younger man, my ex-girlfriend and I had an accidental pregnancy. We were young and not in the financial position or maturity level necessary to see it through. We ended up terminating the pregnancy. It is something I will always think about, but I do not regret. I most certainly would not be married to the wonderful SC if anything back then went differently, which is the main reason why I don't regret it. Before I started my own IF journey, I would sometimes wonder if I missed my shot at fatherhood with the decision we made back then, but it was always a fleeting thought. It's still not something that I believe is true now, but for some reason, it seems important to mention.
So, when do I consider my IF journey to have started? I would say when we officially began Trying to Conceive (TTC.) Up until this month, the fact that we have only been TTC for a little over a year was something that helped me move past every BFN/AF. I would always tell myself that we hadn't been trying very long, and considering the timing and odds of conception for even fertile people, we were doing just fine. Each month it got progressively harder, but it helped that each month I thought of some reason to not to feel hopeless or crushed. When we had our first visit to the doctor for IF, everything he told us was positive. He didn't see any reason for us to be worried and advised that we keep trying naturally. When that didn't work and we started clomid, it seemed like I could reason away my disappointment with the fact that something went wrong with the timing that month (I was too sick to do anything during the window, or I was still figuring out how to not psych myself out of the bedroom on those critical days.) When it was time to take a break from clomid, we got SC to ovulate naturally after adopting the PCOS diet and starting up acupuncture, I could block out the disappointment of the BFN/AF on that positive note. When we started visiting our new doctor, we got better than expected news and his optimism really helped out that month. Compared to SC, my IF journey was a figurative walk in the park.
But then this month came. We started a new round of clomid and the side effects didn't seem to be as bad as last time. So far, so good. Then we went for the mid-cycle ultra sound. The doctor was thrilled at what he saw – lots of follicles and one great big one that was ready to pop! He said everything looked so good, he wanted us to trigger that night.
Trigger? Wait a second, that is something new. During our previous rounds of clomid we were relying on Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPK) to time our baby making. We were doing it all wrong! If we had just triggered, we would have been able to time everything perfectly. Duh, no wonder this wasn't working! All this new information brought on a wave of hope the likes we I had never rode before.
I gave the injections like a pro and I actually did a good job managing the pressure of baby making and had no bedroom problems for most our window. A quick aside – I know SC never writes about it, but starting around 7-8 months of TTC, the pressure of baby making has led to my fair share of bedroom failures. Sso during the window, we really celebrate my bedroom successes. The work I did in the bedroom was just more good news, which meant more hope.
Coincidently, the tail end of our window fell within our visit with our new perfect little nephew. My brother and his wife just delivered their son and hey, we had just finished up making our little bundle of joy. I was feeling pretty good. I held my nephew and for the first time, I was holding a little person that kind of looked just like me. I was going to be a daddy soon, I knew it.
A few negative feelings managed to creep in during our visit. What if this was the closest I was going to get to holding a little version of myself? My IF aunt and uncle were there too — It never worked out for them. I overheard SC talking with my aunt about her experience. Would we be the same? No, Hubster, hop back on the wave of positivity! This is going to be the month.
After our window closed, I went to get my swimmers re-checked. Good news, I have B+ sperm! Not the head of the class, but ahead of the curve. Fantastic, this is totally going to have to happen, especially since we are using the soft cups this month to hold my army of B+ students hostage in the classroom. Look who is back on the positivity wagon!
During the Two Week Wait (TWW), I was doing a great job spotting symptoms. SC's tired all the time, boobs are going bananas, all sorts of stuff. Towards the end of the TWW, I am having almost nightly dreams of the Big Fat Positing (BFP.) THE EXPECTATIONS ARE GROWNG! In retrospect, I also did a great job blocking out the not so promising symptoms, but that's another story.
One day before we can take the test! The new tests that SC ordered online weren't going to arrive on time, so I went out at midnight to get some tests with the pink dye (less chance of a false positive, SC tells me.) I can't sleep. In the morning we are going to get some pee on the stick and make some colors appear. OH BOY (or hopefully girl!)
The sun is up and SC is rolling out of bed to stick pee. I pretend to sleep because all of sudden, I'm terrified that the second pink line isn't going to be there. I hear the pee trickling down. And that's all I hear. SC comes back to bed and I already know.
BFN. BFN!? It was too much. We laid in bed and held on to each other and I dropped my first set of IF tears. My born to be a mom wife kept her emotions in check for a second to comfort me, which made it all worse. So this is what she has been feeling? Or at least just a fraction of it? It hurt, and I felt like a little bit of jerk for not totally getting it until just now.
We had our moment, but we had family on the way to stay with us over the weekend, so we had chores to do. SC went for a mind-clearing run and I went outside to mow the lawn. While I mowed the lawn, I had all sorts of emotions. I don't know how many times I stopped with the mower in the middle of the lawn to stare at the sky. Man, those were some strong feelings, and I am not a very feely guy. This sucks.
Like I said, I am pretty sure whatever I am feeling is just a fraction of what all of you ladies and SC feel every month. I hate that people have to go through this. I hate how my awesome wife, the most extroverted person and most textbook example of a social butterfly I have ever known, becomes so introverted and has to pass on so many social events now. I hate how our house, which used to be filled with laughter and fun, is heavy and quiet so often now. It just doesn't seem fair. This is all feeling so real now.
So there it is. Another part of our IF story in the books, and for the first time, I feel like one of the characters.
BUT. This is the month! It's going to happen. I have a friend that was able to get the BFP almost right away. His secret? Wear one black sock into bed. Of course, that's just a joke, but I have my best black sock clean and ready to go this month. I have to try everything! This is going to be it!!!!
In all seriousness, I know this is going to be rough journey. I don't know what else to do except be positive. I will do whatever I can to help SC make it through this, because she is always there for me. I feel like I can do a better job supporting her now that I have crossed this line and felt these feelings. Or, at least I hope so. I know there is a positive somewhere in this jumble of emotions!
I guess that's my post. I feel a little better, I think. Oh, and about the spelled out acronyms – that's for all you new readers or guys out there that need help with them. I have to ask more often than not what all these acronyms mean, so hopefully I saved at least one person some breath.
Before I post this sucker up, I want to say thank you ladies for sharing your stories with my wife and coming here to read hers and provide support. It helps and I'm glad that the internets is being used for good, making this type of support so easy to access. I hear your stories from SC every day and I am sending out positive thoughts to all of you and your partners – This is the month! 🙂

Brazil is on the brain.
Big time.
Whenever it's been a long day of tours and talking, I find myself fantasizing about the 2 and a half months I spent in South America. I dream of once again doing some (pseudo) samba in the streets of Lapa or of taking a midnight buggy ride round the sanddunes of Natal. I envision myself floatin' seaside with half a dozen dolphins or simply starfishing in my bed after too much Carne de Sol (face down, pants unbuttoned).
And I know I'm not the only one whose mind has been infiltrated with thoughts of Brazil.
The start of South America's summer season is fast approaching, the World Cup is now less than a year away, and all of the political riots plaguing the country at the moment have put Brazil in the center spotlight. It seems as if the entire globe is watching and waiting to see if Brazil — a country with a long history of political corruption and high crime rates — can successfully and safely host one of the biggest events on the planet.
It's tough to predict what will happen. I'm hopeful, and have a lot of faith in my beloved Brazil. However, I also realize that those who are planning trips down there to witness the World Cup first hand are nervous about what to expect in terms of safety.
Lately, 80% of the poor souls who accidentally stumble across my blog are searching things related to Brazil, and of those, a majority are seeking out information on safety.
Understandable. One day I should tackle the topic, methought every time I saw this.
But then, two days ago, I saw that someone had found my blog after punching in "safe to travel to brazil while blonde?"
Good lord.
And that was it. The public has spoken. It's about damn time I write about the issue of safety in Brazil.
Is Brazil safe?
This is really a moot inquiry. First, keep in mind that Brazil is HUGE. The country is the 5th largest in the world, and even bigger than the continental United States. It's also incredibly diverse. Cultural traditions, accents, and landscape vary greatly. Approach the question of safety in Brazil in the same manner that you'd approach safety in your own country — totally relative to specific location, time of day, and situation.
Back when I wrote the post on 6 things to know before traveling to Brazil, I revealed that Brazil is my favorite country. I absolutely fell in love with the people, the culture, the food — sigh, the list could go on and on. If during my time there I felt constantly unsafe and ill at ease, then Brazil would never have made it to the top of my list. That being said, there are certain things — whether they be cultural idiosyncrasies or basic travel know-hows — that I believe everyone should be cognitive of before heading to Brazil. Hence, the following.
Backpacking Brazil while female (and blonde)
Mia and I are both tall, blonde, fair-skinned, blue-eyed American gals. I've got the upper-body strength of a seal and zero experience in self-defense (minus 3 months of Tae Kwon Do in the 7th grade — but let's be real, I just wanted to wear the pretty white robe). Mia is equally nonthreatening — though her early morning stanky face is fierce — and she even has the misfortune of being somewhat attractive . In other words, by genetic default and statistically speaking, we are the type of travelers most commonly targeted in cases of sexual assault and theft.
I take safety very seriously. Ask any of my close friends and they'll confirm that I ebb on the side of hypochondria. I don't mess around when it comes to the possibility of endangering myself.
However, I'm also a stubborn feminist who really doesn't believe women should feel afraid or limited in their travels because they are women. The unfortunate reality of traveling as a female is that there are extra precautions that need to be taken for the sake of safety. However, those precautions are exceedingly easy to adhere to. Familiarize yourself with the country and adjust to the circumstances. Avoid walking alone at night. Pay a few extra bucks to take a cab when necessary. Don't get so drunk that you lose control of your senses. Use common sense.
Sure, there are some things that Mia and I had to deal with while traveling that two dudes in our place probably wouldn't have, namely shouts, whistles, and other forms of verbal sexual harassment. Brazil is a patriarchal culture. Though the constant catcalls can be bothersome and are clearly disrespectful, feigning ignorance to such pursuits was usually enough to end the badgering. As a side note, I'll mention that we definitely received more attention in the northeast of the country. Fair features are far less common there than in the south where there is a much greater European influence. Thus, we gained quite the celebrity status as being the "tall, blonde, American girls" during our month bartending in Natal.
Occasionally, the advances of strangers escalated beyond the average hoot or holler. We found some Brazilian men to be quite aggressive in their desire to play boyfriend for the night. Fortunately, good ol' Jenna Marbles taught me how to cope with this years ago (apologies for the explicit language, but you'll thank me later for the hilarity that ensues).
Dealing with transportation: buses, trains, cabs, and ride shares
The bus system in Brazil is pretty awesome. Long distance buses vary in quality, but generally speaking they are much more luxurious than buses in the US or Europe. The seats are more comfortable, there is more leg room, and they are extremely safe. For long ride, the bus will stop every few hours to allow guests to sit down for a meal. Occasionally, a person selling drinks and snacks will be picked up along the way, sell said items on bus, and then be dropped off at the next stop. If traveling with a backpack or some sort of large luggage, you'll be asked to store it beneath the bus. Each item is tagged and the guest is then given a receipt. When you arrive at your destination, the bus driver will assist in fetching your luggage, and most are very strict about requiring guests to show their receipts before their luggage can be returned. This is good, as it ensures the security of your bag — but just be sure not to lose that receipt!
Local buses are a different story. Though probably the most efficient way to get around a city, local buses are far less safe or comfortable. It's important to pay close attention to your belongings during the ride. I'd avoid taking the bus at nighttime or when traveling with all your belongings in tow. On the first night Mia arrived in Brazil, we had the intention of taking a bus to our hostel. However, when we walked over to the bus stop, we got some really bad vibes. There were lots of men at the bus stop, and many began to ogle us or incessantly ask for money — which in itself isn't particularly dangerous or (unfortunately) unusual as we'd later learn. However, there was something particularly unnerving about that situation that made us decide to head back to the airport and hail a cab, rather than risk getting on the bus with all our stuff. I was glad we made this decision. About an hour after we arrived, two Aussie girls showed up at our hostel in hysterics as they told the receptionist that they'd just been robbed of all their belongings while taking that same bus from the airport to the hostel. I rode public buses many times, and I'd highly recommend them as they're cheap, (relatively) reliable, and an experience in themselves — just be sure you assess the situation beforehand.
Trains are less commonly used, more expensive, and less reliable. I never used a train while traveling in Brazil, so I'll refrain from commenting — other than to say that I have only heard bad things about the system.
Taxis are a less affordable, but an extremely safe way to travel through a city. If you're ever in a precarious situation, don't hesitate to catch a cab. However, also expect to pay the "Gringo" rate rather than the local rate, which can be astronomically higher. I found cab drivers in Salvador to be the worst for this.
Ride shares. These are very popular in Rio, and by far the fastest and cheapest way to get around. The vans run up and down the main streets of the city (essentially along the streets that line Leblon, Ipanema, and Copacabana beaches), and pick up pedestrians on the way. One man drives the van and then another has his head out of the window, hollering at people to see if anyone needs a ride. If you're interested, just wave them down and hop inside, and then when you near your destination, tell the driver and they'll let you off. I absolutely loved this system as it was MUCH faster than taking the bus, and also a lot of fun as the van was usually bumpin' good music. Plus, the chaos of stopping to pick people up, and then speeding away made for a fun and exciting atmosphere. Unfortunately, a few weeks after I got home from Brazil I read a story about a Dutch couple who was attacked while riding in one of these vans. The man was beaten up, while the woman was raped. Absolutely horrendous story, and it was frightening to think that Mia and I had used this system so frequently. However, despite the tragedy of this incident, I'd still use the ride share if I were to return to Brazil. Certainly there are risks involved, and what happened to that couple is absolutely horrific. Yet, it's important to recognize that it was also an isolated incident. I don't mean to suggest that it had never happened before, or that it will never happen again (unfortunately, I'm sure it has and I'm sure it will), but that experience does not reflect the standard for every other ride share experience.
Keep your valuables safe and stored away
Only carry the absolute essentials during your time out and about. After a while, I became very comfortable with bringing my iPhone with me to Ponte Negra (main beach in Natal) but only after about a week of lounging there. In contrast, I never felt that same sort of comfort in bringing my phone to a beach in Rio or Salvador. The beach is an especially popular location for unsuspecting tourists to be robbed, and thus you must take some real precautions.Ultimately, whether you choose to or not, be sure never leave those valuables unattended while flopping about in the ocean or while snoozing after too many Pina Coladas.
While walking around a city, don't draw added attention to yourself by flashing expensive cameras or an iPhone. Listening to music is fine on long bus rides, but I'd advise against wearing earphones while riding local buses or wandering unfamiliar streets. Also, consider investing in a money belt. Up until Brazil, I was vehemently opposed to money belts. I thought them impractical, bulky, and made for amateur travelers. I cursed every tourist I saw wearing one (though, to be fair, this is because most of said tourists were ignorant enough to shove their hands down their pants every time they needed a fiver — which OBVIOUSLY defeats the purpose AND makes you look like a pervert). However, I reluctantly purchased a money belt in preparation for Brazil and was very glad I did. Wearing it while in transit with all my belongings (i.e. at bus stations, when walking to a new hostel, etc.) gave me a real feeling of comfort.
Be particularly cautious of your belongings when going out at night. In Lapa, we were told to literally leave everything at the hostel besides some cash and an I.D., which we found to be sound advice. A lot of theft occurs during late night rendevous, so leave your phone and camera in your room, and be sure that money isn't bulging out of your pockets.
Visiting a favela in Rio and meeting a drug cartel boss
It's impossible to address the question of safety without referencing the presence of favelas in Brazil. The favelas of Rio gained global recognition after the release of the 2002 film City of God. Favelas are Brazilian slums or shanty towns, most of which developed in the 1970s as poorer individuals from rural areas across the country migrated to cities. Unable to afford the cost of living, many of these people were forced to move into the favelas, increasing the population of these neighborhoods to the tens — sometimes hundreds — of thousands.
The process reminds me a lot of the issue of gentrification here in DC. . . though to a much much more drastic and devastating degree. Unable to find support from the government, citizens of the favelas turned to drug cartels to maintain order in the neighborhoods. The favelas were an ideal location for the drug trade to run rampant as the trade itself provided economic support and the cartels who ran it ensured a sense of safety and stability that had otherwise been lacking due to the lack of law enforcement or the presence of the federal government.
So, are these favelas really dangerous? I'd say some of them definitely can be, at least for a "Gringo." Others have been "cleaned up" in the last 5-10 years or so, and are no more dangerous than any other neighborhood. Many people believe that the only reason for the government's newfound interest in favelas is the World Cup, which has only added more controversy to an already very complex issue.
Our British friend Sophie took a very lax approach to the favelas. She stayed in hostels located in different favelas, and even walked through one of the more dangerous ones in Salvador despite warnings against doing so. If asked, she would probably tell you that the rumors you hear about favelas being "unsafe" are rubbish, and that you should most certainly visit one. Hmm, perhaps she's right, but remember that you will be putting yourself at risk.
Today, some of the favelas that have been gentrified are even somewhat of a tourist attraction. People can sign up for tours and learn more about the history of the favelas, as well as see what life is like there today. I seriously considered taking one of these tours as I am very interested in the subject, but ultimately I decided not to as it just seemed too voyeuristic and weird. Plus, we eventually ended up going to a favela on our own.
One Saturday night, Mia and I were out in Lapa. Being the chatty cat that she is, Mia quickly befriended an Italian fellow who was eager to introduce us to his Brazilian friend — a gentleman probably in his 40s or 50s who spoke no English. I paid little attention to him at first, and even accidentally stepped on his foot at one point. It wasn't until the Italian told us that his friend's name was "the King" and that he lived in a mansion in the favela overlooking Leblon that I realized — holy shit, this guy has got to be a drug cartel boss. I mean, you don't just get the name "the King" for nothing. And I stepped on his foot!!! We tried to gingerly remove ourselves from the situation after this realization, but Mr. King wanted a few more words. "He would like to invite you both to a party at his house," the Italian relayed to us. I'd be lying if I said we didn't consider going for just a minute (sorry Mom!). We'd heard stories about just how amazing favela parties can be. Though the neighborhoods themselves are quite poor, the homes of the drug lords who run them are some of the most luxurious in the city. Plus, they throw ridiculously dope parties. However, we knew it wouldn't be safe to attend. Though entering into a favela at the invitation of "the King" would certainly have been much safer than wandering in on our own, it would also force us to live within the laws of that neighborhood , and thus leaving us very vulnerable to victimization. We politely decline and then excused ourselves from the conversation (right after I profusely apologized for placing my dirty sandal on his Highness's white sneaker).
We didn't make it to a favela that evening, but we did eventually visit one about a week later. One of the many benefits of going to Brazil in the months leading up to Carnaval is that you can go to a samba schools around the country. These schools are not places where you go to learn how to dance. Rather, they are essentially big dance parties where some of the top performers of Carnaval practice their moves in front of thousands of spectators who are then encouraged to join along. The dancing and costumes are incredible. There were even fireworks at the school Mia and I attended one Saturday night. It was heaps of fun and I really wish I had photos to commemorate that night, however I decided against it as I knew that this particular school (like most samba schools) was located in a favela.
I felt perfectly safe all night, though I also certainly felt alert of myself and my belongings. The draw of the samba school meant that there were hundreds of people on the streets, which actually made me feel much more comfortable. If that hadn't of been the case, I probably wouldn't have gone.
Safety in Brazil then, now, and during the World Cup
All of my opinions on safety in Brazil are based off my experience traveling there from November 2012 – January 2013. In the last few months, tensions have grown and crime rates have increased. The other day, I was chatting with a Brazilian friend who lives in Rio and he said that Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon have all gotten much more dangerous in recent months because of all the riots. When traveling to Brazil, remember that there is a learning curve to understanding the cultural idyosyncrasies and safety precautions of the country. Take your time in adapting to that shift. Laws differ greatly from country to country; what is legal here in the U.S. might not fly in Brazil (or vice versa). Also keep in mind that, though not true of all Brazilian law enforcement officers, police corruption is a reality.
At the end of the conversation, I asked my friend if he thought the crime would continue, or perhaps even worsen, throughout the World Cup. His response? "No. Brazilians care too much about soccer to allow that to happen." Let's hope so.
Happy travels. Boa noite.

Ten-Ichi Udon is one of my favourite places to grab dinner because udon is one of my favourite kind of food, and is a great source of comfort food as well.
On this particular evening (which unfortunately was the meal we decided to review), I decided to be adventurous and ordered the asari udon (clams). It turned out to be… a most wrong decision and I was left sadded much after my meal 😦
this was the asari clam udon, which looks fairly innocuous but the clams left a metallic taste, and the soup was INCREDIBLY OILY.
So i painstakingly scooped some of the oil out just so that the bowl of udon would be somewhat edible, and this was the result. LOOK AT THE OIL. As Pugs said, I don't even understand where the oil comes from because it's not even like the fats from the meat became oil or something. sigh.
i actually physically felt ill after eating that.
thankfully, Pugs was less adventurous and ordered what we have normally.
Beef udon. lucky for him, this was as good as it always is. Pugs never used to eat udon until I brought him here and introduced him to this beef udon. NOMS. (i would also like to think that he would have swapped his food with mine if i had asked, but i didn't ask heh.)
and as usual, we had our egg each, and the various tempura sides – squid, crab stick, croquette and tempura. These were okay too, but I must say the tempura can be quite hit and miss. One late afternoon when we went at 5plus (probably cos it was post lunch and pre dinner, the tempura was just… stale.) This time it was around dinner time and there was a fresh supply.
I would say NOM NOM NOM because their beef and pork udon is really quite consistently good. I will never order their strange new offerings any more though.
(lucky for them, we go there quite often, otherwise this would have been a most scathing review).

About Rushashi Natural:
We just received the new crop from our partner This Side Up, so expect some fresher flavors and try to compare how the very same coffee can taste different according to the way it is processed at the origin.
In Natural coffee, the process is to dry the cherries under the sun soon after being collected. The pulp and the skin dry out during the 2-3 following weeks and the growers must move the cherries to prevent unwanted fermentation to take place. This slow drying brings out a whole range of flavors ranging from red fruits and berries to stronger notes of fermented grape and wine.
Abakundakawa coffee producer cooperative is located in the lush and green Gakenke district, characterised by high spiky hills at high altitude – making it ideal for high quality coffee production. It is no coincidence that this region produces some of Rwanda's most sought after coffees.
Abakundakawa has come a long way since it started as a smallholder farmer association in 1999. It became a recognised cooperative in 2007. Since then, in a relatively short time, Abakundakawa managed to become an advanced operation with over 2000 member farmers, that serves as a prime example of how coffee growers can turn the specialty market into a seller's market.

Police Investigating Social Media Posting of Clown Threats in Greensboro
Greensboro police are investigating posts on the social media platform Instagram that indicate clowns will attack Greensboro schools.
The posts read in part: "… we will be going to schools in Greensboro!! Starting with northeast highschool to kernodle middle school to eastern Guilford high to northwest high to grimsley to western Guilford be expecting lock downs we will be close and ready to attack because? WE ARE NOT CLOWING AROUND!!"
At this stage of the investigation, police cannot determine the intent behind the messages, nor verify the identity of the person or persons behind the profile. "It is possible that these messages may be someone's attempt at humor, or misguided effort to disrupt school," said Capt. Nathaniel Davis who commands the Greensboro Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division. "Regardless, we treating them seriously and attempting to locate the people who posted the messages."
The series of three messages under the profile name 'greensboroclowns' was posted shortly after midnight, and reported to police several minutes later by a concerned parent. Since then, other residents have passed along the disturbing posts to police, or reported them to GM 911.
School officials and School Resource Officers from the Greensboro Police Department and Guilford County Sheriff's Office are aware of the messages and remain vigilant for any suspicious activity. Officials are also collaborating on the investigation.

Pretty And Not So Pretty
Saturday was a good day for everyone...Moon picked up a check in the Open 2D, Spooks picked up a check in the Open 4D and Megan on Rip picked up a check in the Youth 4D.
Spooks made the prettiest run on Saturday...
He still takes that one stride out as he is coming out of 2nd, but it has smoothed out tremendously this year and I don't really think it costs him a substantial amount of time. He looks really wide going to 3rd, but most of it was camera angle. He was a little bit wide on his pocket, but not horrible.
As for the not so pretty...
This is Moon's run on Sunday...
Ugghhhh...He was scotchy at 1st and completely out of control after that. He did run an almost identical time as his Saturday's run...a tish faster even...Saturday's time was 16.968 and Sunday's time would have been 16.928. Looking at this video...I am so mad at myself...I was behind Moon from the start and once again trying to play catch up to stay with him. My hands are everywhere and I am heaving my shoulder at 2nd trying to keep him off the barrel, which results in him throwing me around like a rag doll. Apparently I also had my mouth glued shut again. I didn't make a sound during this run and I KNOW that Moon needs me to talk to him during his runs. Ugghhh!
One thing I may have learned; The first day, Moon was 'up' but not 'hot'. On Sunday, he was almost uncontrollable, even during the warm-up. When Moon gets too hot, he is as rigid as a board. I have tried to use a lot of bending and softening and strive to keep him quiet. A friend suggested that since Moon is getting overly 'up', it may be better to take him out and breeze him well in advance of a run to take some of the edge off.
I have been awfully careful with Moon due to his respiratory problems and then worrying about his stifle situation. I did not want to over-tax him or take too much of his edge off...but now that I know that his stifle is okay...she may have a valid point. Moon does not make good runs when he is overly excited...he tries way too hard and I find it almost impossible to stay up with him. It becomes a fight to just try to keep him on course, as you saw in this run. I probably do need to take just a bit of his edge off, so that he is more relaxed and quieter when it is time to run. I am going to try that this coming weekend and I am going to exhibition him at a much reduced speed. It's all well and good that he wants to run so hard, but if it is out of control running...it doesn't do either of us any good. He's frantic and I am late in everything I do.
Dang...this is a tough learning curve.

First of all , HOLYCRAPDOESHEMOVE! I would be behind him all the time, like behind sitting in the dirt! Sounds like you know where it went wrong and how to fix it so as I said in the last post , go get 'em

Interesting...nice to get some cheques though! Having video must really help you correct things you don't like.
Moon can sure move though!! I would be ass over teakettle off the back of the horse on the first 2 strides! hahaha I can see your point though - he came in with his head way up high and never quite came back down to you...

Way cool to be in the money on three horses! Not a bad deal at all.
I know it is not about the eq here, but then again it sorta is at the same time. When you came in on Moons, Your hands are way up in the air. What's up with that? You want him to come down, your hands need to come down. You need to be ready before you start or as you well know, you will be playing catch up the whole run.
Now go kick some butt!

" I would be ass over teakettle off the back of the horse on the first 2 strides!" Second that!
Still, three checks, very nice!

Cut-n-Jump re the hands, I believe BEC is riding how Ed wants us to ride, which isn't eq pretty that's for sure lol BUT it is very effective, you can have so much control with the smallest of movements when you have your hands further ahead like that. Also lots of trainers in non-barrel events will raise their hands during training to get a lower headset.
BEC can correct me if I'm wrong there.
- July 11, 2012 at 4:15 PM
- cdncowgirl said...
BEC Voodoo is doing something similar on 2nd. Comes out a stride (or 2, 3) kinda blowing sideways but forward. On a bad day he's overly bent and moving halfass sideways all the way to 3rd. KILLS on time and sucks. Really working on it though, its all in my hands and timing it seems, although I do need to get stronger with my leg helping him shape as he comes out.
I know you're kicking your ass on that run on Moon, funny thing is that I bet 90% of the girls running out there wouldn't see anything wrong except the knocked barrel.
- July 11, 2012 at 4:17 PM
- BrownEyed Cowgirl said...
Well the hands thing is effective and equitation correct when a horse enters like Spooks did. My hands were in exactly the same position when I started Spooks' run. Because he broke at the pole and gathered into himself...it not only looks 'pretty', it allows me to bring my feet back under me and to slightly raise my butt out of the saddle. That is the position you want to be in to start a run.
It does not look 'pretty' when a horse throws their head up and nose out like Moon did. If you look at the first couple of frames, Moon was gathered and even started on the correct lead. Then he threw that head up, flipped leads and it all got awkward. My butt slapped down and my feet came out in front of me. Moon's really good at doing that to me. Now...If I had been at a local run, I would have set his butt down, regathered him and made him restart properly...
This was one of those races that does not allow for those types of corrections. Once you enter the arena...it's game on.
- July 11, 2012 at 5:57 PM
I have a mare who runs just like moon! All the frikking time. I don't run barrels on her, she's technically a cutting horse and I use her as a ranch horse. Definitely interested to see what you find out about moon... My girl is so sensitive you can't get into her, or she just shuts down. And she runs, runs, runs all day. I wish I could send her up to you to run barrels on her and see how she does :)
- July 11, 2012 at 6:30 PM
- kestrel said...
Some straightaway run, rate, run work would help you both a lot. Break the training down to one single problem puzzle piece. Moon has trouble rating, and is anticipating the turn instead of just rating his speed, so gets frantic. Smart horses are like that, haha!
- July 12, 2012 at 10:58 AM
- BrownEyed Cowgirl said...
kestrel...As always...You hit the nail on the head. My neighbor has a bunch of barrels set all over a 5 acre lot and we were over there practicing long trotting and loping up to a barrel, getting Moon to gather and then just easing around the turn. It's not an easy exercise for him...but after awhile he started shortening his stride and curling through the turn. It's good practice for both of us since it's not exactly a barrel pattern and *I* have to think about preparing Moon for the turn and then decide which direction to send him next vs. just heading to the next barrel. Gets us both 'thinking' and paying attention to each other again.
- July 12, 2012 at 11:59 AM
- Cut-N-Jump said...
cdncowgirl- small corrections= big changes is spot on. Hands straight up gives a different cue through the reins and bit, which yes, makes the horse break at the poll and drop their head. I get that, and like BEC said, you can see Moon flip his nose up and out and it all goes wonky from there.
If you can 'set the horse straight' after something like that, the majority of the problem is solved right there. You don't always get that chance though. Sometimes it is the rules, sometimes it is the horse. Knowing when to start a war or let it slide is up to the rider and changes in different situations. Not like we haven't all been there before.

With four women poised to sign professional contracts and another entering the real world after the season, Duquesne coach Dan Burt came up with a nickname for his five most experienced players:
Burt said Chassidy Omogrosso (Blackhawk), Kadri-Ann Lass, Julijana Vojinovic and Eniko Kuttor will continue their careers professionally next season. Meanwhile, Conor Richardson (Carlynton) is studying for her MBA and will return to the Dukes next season as a graduate assistant.
Her goal: "Make some money one day, change some lives," she said, laughing.
That must wait, however, as the Dukes are in the midst of what they hope will be a long run through the Atlantic 10 Tournament, with the goal at the end a berth in the NCAAs.
After defeating Rhode Island, 106-69, on Tuesday night, Duquesne will meet Saint Louis in a quarterfinal game Friday at Palumbo Center.
"Some teams peaked 10 games ago," Richardson said. "We're peaking around tournament time. If we continue to do this throughout the tournament, we can't be stopped."
Richardson scored a career-high 20 points in only 13 minutes as she tries to wring as much as she can out of her last days as a basketball player.
"I owe so much to the game in general that I have to give it my all," she said. "I really am blessed. All the friendships I've had, all the connections, the places I've gone. I'm forever indebted."
But Omogrosso had one warning for all her teammates.
"Enjoy this till midnight," she said. "Tomorrow we have to get back to work."

Who is your favorite author?
I'd like to say Shakespeare. Shakespeare has stood as a beacon and bulwark of English and Western values, and of poetry in an often anti-poetical culture. You always get your dose of poesy when you deal with Willy S. He's too big to be bullied or kicked around by politics. He will outlast the present age.
What book genre of books do you prefer?
Poetry and literary fiction. That's what I write, in addition to essays, plays and screenplays.
What book should everybody read at least once?
I'm going to surprise myself and say the King James Bible. It's the one book from the English Renaissance that stands beside the collected works of Shakespeare. Regardless of your personal beliefs, it is central to understanding Western civilization, and beautifully written..
What do you hope your obituary will say about you?
I hope it gets spelled correctly.
Location and life experiences can really influence writing, tell us where you grew up and where you now live?
I was born in Buffalo, NY in 1946, which makes me a genuine, first generation Baby Boomer. I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and have lived in Brooklyn, NY for many years. My observations in Brooklyn form the basis of my essay "Brooklyn, Migrating South," included in ESSAYS OF CONCERN.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I don't know where inspiration comes from. The breath of a hummingbird? A conversation, movie, book, might trigger an idea for a book or a poem..
Do you plan to publish more books?
