Dingle Peninsula
Consistently voted one of the most beautiful places on earth, the Dingle Peninsula wins the hearts of so many with its lush landscape, which includes narrow cliff-side roads, mountain ranges, and sandy beaches. Jutting 30 miles into the Atlantic Ocean from Ireland's southwest coast, the peninsula offers unmatched sightseeing, surfing, swimming, and walking trails. The small market town and fishing port of Dingle provides a great place to listen to live music, grab a pint, and rest your head for the evening.

Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne
Located in Downhill Demesne near Castlerock, the Mussenden Temple is precipitously perched atop a 120-foot cliff edge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built in 1785 as a summer library, the temple forms part of the estate of Frederick Augustus Hervey, Bishop of Derry and Earl of Bristol, and its dramatic setting offers unparalleled views of the surrounding area. Visitors are welcome to explore the 18th-century ruins of the mansion, take a cliff-side walk, stroll along the gardens, or learn about 17th-century life in one of Northern Ireland's oldest surviving buildings, the Hezlett House.

Giant's Causeway
The only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway is one of the world's truly must-see destinations. Once said to have been built by giants, the 40,000 or so hexagonal columns were actually formed by volcanic eruptions. The legends that surround this area run deep, however, and visitors may get swept up in the myths of massive men and shipwrecks—Girona of the Spanish Armada foundered here in 1588—by walking among the stones.

The Burren
With more than 100 square miles of natural limestone in County Clare offering ancient stone structures, grassy fields, caves, and jagged countryside, the Burren is an explorer's dream. Among the top sites to see while visiting are the Ailwee Caves, a two million year old cave system; the Poulnabrone Portal Dolmen, an ancient stone tomb dating between 2,000 and 2,500 B.C.; Leamaneh Castle, with its 15th-century residential tower and 17th-century fortified home; and Caherconnell Stone Fort, a nearly perfectly preserved structure dating back between 400 and 1200 A.D.

About an hour south of Dublin, Glendalough, or Valley of the Two Lakes, houses the ruins of what was once one of the leading monastic settlements in Ireland. A hermit monk named Saint Kevin founded the monastery before his death in about 618. The settlement flourished for the next 600 years. Today, visitors can explore stone structures, churches, a cathedral, a round tower, and a cemetery.

Cliffs of Moher
One of the most photographed places in Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher ascend more than 700 feet above the water and cover nearly five miles. The dramatic cliffs are home to several species of sea birds, including the only mainland colony of Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, and Choughs. Visitors are welcome to climb the stairs leading to O'Brien's Tower, which provides panoramic views. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the Aran Islands.

Ring of Kerry
Medieval ruins, sandy beaches, lakes, mountains, a lush forest, and a jagged coastline all call the Ring of Kerry home. Part of the Iveragh Peninsula, it's 110 miles of pure beauty. The drive takes place in County Kerry in southwestern Ireland, and begins and ends in the town of Killarney, which makes a good base camp for a trip. It's easy to travel the circuit in one day, but to see some of the sites off the beaten path, such as Valencia Island and the Gaeltacht area around Portmagee, requires a bit more time.

Aran Islands
Located in Galway Bay, the three Aran Islands provide a perfect glimpse into some enduring Irish traditions—Gaelic is still spoken and most people get around by horse and buggy or bike. The largest of the three islands, Inis Mor, is the most well-known and offers the greatest amount of modern-day conveniences. Inis Meain, or the middle island, is the least visited and clings proudly to its Irish cultural tradition. On a clear day, Inis Oirr, or the East Island, provides unparalleled views of the Cliffs of Moher.

Skellig Michael
Just eight miles off the coast of Portmagee and towering more than 700 feet above the water, you will find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Skellig Michael, which houses a well-preserved sixth century monastic settlement. Visitors are welcome to walk in the footsteps of the monks who once inhabited this island by climbing the 670 steps leading to the now abandoned beehive-shaped huts. Puffins make the island their home in the late spring, while gannets consume every ledge on the nearby Little Skellig.

Once briefly named "Queenstown" in honor of a visit from Queen Victoria in 1849, Cobh reverted to its original name in 1921. Located on the Great Island in Cork Harbor, the town's streets climb a hill crowned by a cathedral overlooking the water. As the embarkation point, including the Titanic's last port of call, to America, Cobh was the last glimpse of Ireland for many people.

Top 25 'homegrown' New York athletes
Who says you can't go home? Not these athletes. A look at the top 25 sportsmen who were born and/or raised in the five boroughs or Long Island, and played in New York during their professional careers. Compiled by Mark Herrmann
It is only a technicality that the Brooklyn native and Huntington Station resident was not officially a pro athlete when she became the first woman to run the New York City Marathon (1970) and was the race's first repeat women's champion (1972, 1973). Back then, the prizes were a laurel wreath and a bowl of stew. But largely because of this pioneering mother of three, women's marathon champions now get six-figure checks. Kuscsik was inducted into the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 1999 and the New York Road Runners Hall of Fame last year.
Notable quote: "People thought I was crazy. When I won Boston in '72, now they understood what I was doing."
Riding two winners at Aqueduct on Feb. 4, 2005, the jockey born in Babylon and raised in Sheepshead Bay reached the 4,000 victory plateau. Many of those wins came on New York tracks, which twice won him the Eddie Arcaro Award as outstanding jockey of the year by the New York Turf Writers Association. Migliore showed true resolve in recovering from a 1988 spill at Belmont that was so bad it was depicted in the TV show "Rescue 911."
Notable quote: "I'm proud of the achievement. I started my career here, and all of my success has been in the major leagues."
BRIAN MULLEN, Right Wing
Islanders (1992-1993): 81 games, 18 G, 14 A, 32 PTS
Rangers (1987-1991): 307 games, 100 G, 148 A, 248 PTS
Unfazed that DeWitt Clinton High School did not have a baseball team, young Edmund Lopatynski played on club squads between shifts as an usher at Radio City Music Hall. He signed as a first baseman with the Dodgers, who changed his position and shortened his name. The Yankees acquired him in 1948 and averaged 16 wins during five World Championship years (1949-53).
Notable quote: "Get the ball over the plate and make them hit it" (his philosophy on throwing his bedeviling "junkball" pitches).
Having grown up in Hell's Kitchen, he appeared washed up as a boxer and down and out as a man during the Depression, using $24 monthly government handouts to support himself, his wife and children. Then he mounted a comeback that climaxed with a 1935 victory as 10-1 underdog over heavyweight champion Max Baer at Madison Square Garden Bowl, an outdoor arena in Long Island City. "Cinderella Man," the movie they made of it, also was a hit in New York.
Notable quote: "It looks like those lean days we had for the last two or three years are gone forever" (in an old news clip, as he hugged his wife).
A Dodgers fan in Staten Island after his family emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland, Thomson signed with the Giants because they made a better offer. He made good on it, becoming a three-time all-star for them. Curiously, none of those honors came in 1951, when he hit the clinching home run over Brooklyn that is considered the most famous play in baseball history ("The Giants win the pennant…the Giants win the pennant!")
Notable quote: "I'm in the phone book. I'm nobody special" (to a fan who considered him an icon).
The Knicks' first big star, the Brooklyn native who grew up in Garden City, was a master of the two-handed set shot and was the team's top scorer in his first seven seasons. Against Providence in 1947, Braun, a rookie, set an NBA record with 47 points. He made five consecutive All-Star Games (1953-1957), which suggested that the arm injury that forced him to abandon his career as a Yankees minor league pitcher was a good break.
Notable quote: "That was just my night…but I never took 36 shots again" (years later, reflecting on his 47-point game).
He carried his point guard skills from Bishop Loughlin in Brooklyn to St. John's to Madison Square Garden, and the skills carried him. Despite having been drafted relatively low, 18th overall, he was the 1988 NBA Rookie of the Year as a Knick. A year later, he was an all-star, teaming with Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and others for a major Knicks revival.
Notable quote: "Being from New York helps a lot" (in February, 1988, on making a smooth transition to the pros).
Born in Brooklyn and educated at Hofstra, the center had the most responsible, vital, rugged job of all the Jets in the late 1960s: He had to protect Joe Namath. Schmitt did it in the stunning Super Bowl III win, despite suffering from pneumonia. Lost his championship ring on vacation in Hawaii in the early 1970s and got it back 40 years later.
Notable quote: "The difference from then to now is like going from a covered wagon to a trip to the moon" (in 2009, reflecting on how the Super Bowl had grown into a spectacle since he played in it).
Bill Parcells was particularly impressed with the Pro Bowl offensive lineman from Lake Ronkonkoma and Sachem High School, and considered him an integral part of the Super Bowl XXV champion Giants. Elliott also played for the Jets and made his only career touchdown reception, the tying play in the "Monday Night Miracle" comeback win over the Dolphins.
Notable quote: "Some of the game is a blur—parts of the celebration, I don't remember a thing—but the ring is real. I'll always have it." (on being honored at Sachem on the Super Bowl win).
Raised in Brooklyn (Tilden H.S.) after having moved from Holly Hill, S.C., Randolph became an all-time New York sports fixture in 13 years as a Yankee, making five All-Star Games, playing on two World Series championship teams and four pennant winners, and becoming the team's first African American captain. On top of that, he was a Yankees coach during their next wave of dominance, and played for and managed the Mets.
Notable quote: "Today's world is moving as fast as Jose Reyes going from first to third" (while Mets manager, giving the keynote speech at 2007 Fordham graduation, while his daughter was one of the graduates).
When he was a Knick in the mid-1980s, King was basketball's most unstoppable force. The graduate of Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton High School was the first NBA player in 20 years to have successive 50-point games. On Christmas night 1984, against the Nets (his former team), he scored 60, on his way to leading the league with a 32.9 average. The NBA named him among "The Next Ten," following its all-time Top 50 players list.
Notable quote: "At some point before the winter begins, I'm going to go in the backyard and score 350 points" (musing on the fact that major knee surgery kept him short of 20,000).
From Lafayette High School in Brooklyn to St. John's, Franco was a devoted fan of the Mets. He still is, having set the team record with 276 saves, made an All-Star game, become the team captain and been on the mound when the club clinched the 2000 National League pennant. His only career World Series decision is a win, in Game 3 over the Yankees in 2000.
Notable quote: "Now to be sharing the wall with some of those guys, it's truly amazing. It's kind of cool" (reflecting on having been a 1969 Mets fan and being inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame).
The sluggers in Murderers Row could not do it by themselves. The great Yankee teams of the 1920s needed pitching, too, and Hoyt was their ace. The righthander from Erasmus Hall, nicknamed "The Brooklyn Schoolboy," won 22 games in 1927 and 23 in 1928 and won Game 1 of the World Series each time. A sophisticated multi-talented person who once sang at the Palace Theater, Hoyt finally made the Hall of Fame in 1969.
Notable quote: "Joe, so would the Babe" (to Joe Dugan at Babe Ruth's funeral, after Dugan said, "I'd give my right arm for an ice-cold beer").
Long before George Steinbrenner, even before Jacob Rupert bought Babe Ruth, the Yankees (then called the Highlanders) paid big bucks for a star. Keeler was lured away from the National League's Superbas in his home borough of Brooklyn for a $10,000 salary in 1903—more than three times what he had been making. Keeler's .341 career batting average made him one of the earliest Hall of Fame inductees.
Notable quote: "Hit 'em where they ain't" (on his secret for getting singles instead of lineouts to outfielders).
A farmer's son from Aquebogue who starred at Riverhead High School and Fordham, he led the NFL in passing for two seasons as a halfback in the Giants' single wing formation. He led the Giants to two titles, starring in the 1934 "Sneakers Game" triumph, when the team imported basketball shoes from Manhattan College at halftime to help traverse the frozen Polo Grounds field. Danowski ran for a touchdown, passed for another and made an interception against the Bears that day.
Notable quote: "We weren't prepared for weather that cold" (in a 1991 interview).
He started from the pavement of the Rockaway Beach playground, where he learned the passing skills that made even the legend Bob Cousy idolize him, and he ended in the rafters at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks retired his No. 15 (with co-honoree Earl Monroe) for a Hall of Fame career that had New York written all over it (he also starred at St. John?s and coached the Knicks).
Notable quote: ?There were times when I?d think, `God, tomorrow I?m going to shoot more.? But I don?t think you can change what you are? (on his pass-first style).
The 1959 Thorp Award winner as Nassau's top high school player while he was a running back for Carle Place, Snell was drafted by both the Giants and Jets. He chose the latter and became the AFL Rookie of the Year and an all-star. His crowning achievement came in Super Bowl III—the game that began the Super Bowl's transformation into a de facto national holiday—when he ran for 121 yards and caught four passes in a staggering upset victory. To this day, he is the only Jet to have scored a Super Bowl touchdown.
Notable quote: "Everything you always wanted in a beer—and less" (as the first athlete ever featured in a Miller Lite commercial).
7. Carmelo Anthony
Some people believed the Knicks gave up too much to the Nuggets in a trade for the Brooklyn native two years ago. But since then, he has blossomed into one of the NBA's elite players and a future Hall of Famer. He has made the Knicks into a formidable team and led a pro basketball renaissance in New York.
Notable quote: "I was born in New York, so I had family who was in tune with what was going on with the Knicks" (on his arrival, being compared with fellow Brooklynite Bernard King).
Sure, this Washington Heights native has had his ups and downs as a Yankee, but there is no denying the milestones he has reached while playing in pinstripes: Two American League MVP awards, two home run titles, his 600th home run and a World Series championship (six home runs in the 2009 postseason).
Notable quote: "I look forward to putting this day behind us and having an amazing season. Because it will be the best season of our lives" (to his teammates during a February 2009 news conference in which he admitted taking steroids).
5. Phil Rizzuto
Discovered by Yankees scout Paul Krichell at a semipro game in Floral Park after having been told by the Dodgers and Giants he was too small to play shortstop in the big leagues, the product of Richmond Hill, Brooklyn, loomed large as a Yankees fixture for generations. He made the Hall of Fame as a key member of seven championship clubs and as the American League MVP in 1950—and then served as a beloved longtime broadcaster.
Notable quote: "Holy cow!"
He was dominant at the U.S. Open in Queens, his home borough, winning three in a row, starting in 1979 (against fellow New Yorker Vitas Gerulaitis) and one more in 1984. There also were four U.S. Open doubles titles in a successful, passionate, flamboyant career for athlete who was born in Wiesbaden, West Germany (his father was in the U.S. Air Force) and grew up in Douglaston.
Notable quote: "You cannot be serious!" (famously arguing a call on the way to his first Wimbledon title in 1981)
Ford played for the Yankees in 1950 and from 1953-1967. He holds records for most World Series games (22), Game 1 starts (8), wins (10) and losses (8) during a career spent entirely with the Yankees. He was voted into the Hall of Fame in 1974.
Nets' star Julius Erving was well known for his style and his iconic afro.
The legend that surrounds the Yankees iconic first baseman--the consecutive games streak that ended with the onset of the tragic illness that now bears his name—sometimes obscures the fact that the alumnus of Manhattan's Commerce High School and Columbia University was an amazing player, with 493 home runs, 2,721 hits and a lifetime .361 World Series batting average.
Notable quote: "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth." (on Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium, July 4, 1939)

How High Can You Go in San Juan County?
While many Colorado mountain counties deal with second homeowners wanting to build in heavily wooded, fire-prone areas, tiny San Juan County has a whole different sort of problem. The county is being sued by a Texas attorney who wants to build a nearly 5,000-sq-ft "cabin" on the above-treeline tundra near Engineer Pass. The county turned down Dan Lemkuil's land-use request to build on a 10+-acre mining claim and then instituted a moratorium on approving land-use permits on high-alpine tundra.
The county hadn't taken this regulatory step previously because there had never been a request to build something that big on the treeless tundra, said San Juan County Attoney Paul Sunderland. The county previously let Lemkuil build a shed for his snowmobiles and ATVS on the land, but the only other buildings that high up in San Juan County are very small ski huts.
Sunderland said safety could be a big issue with such a vacation home. It could only accessed up a steep 4-wheel-drive road June to November, at the longest. In the winter, the access road is in the path of several notorious avalanche chutes. The county doesn't have a firetruck or ambulance that could get up there without a delay of at least 45 minutes. Waste disposal could also be an issue. There is no telling how a septic system will work at that altitude.
Lemkuil's attorney, Frank Joe Anesi from Durango, said he is waiting for documents from San Juan County to learn more about the details of the county's refusal to let Lemkuil have his high-mountain dream home. The high-home dispute could drag on for more than a year.

Posted by:Chris Fossey Photography
Wedding, Events, Portrait, Commercial and Travel Photographer for Warwickshire, Cotswolds, Midlands and further afield. I have been passionate about photography ever since I was young, inspired by the dreamy coastal landscapes I enjoyed whilst growing up by the sea and my love of vibrant cosmopolitan cities. As a Wedding Photographer I want to capture those key magical moments of the day, from a loving glance to a joke shared with friends, using a combination of photo-reportage and contemporary portrait photography. I see capturing events such as weddings as a privilege and therefore combine pure professionalism with an unobtrusive friendly approach in order to produce comprehensive, yet intimate and personal imagery. For me it is important that my work captures emotion. My work is therefore both expressive and innovative so I can produce images that clients will treasure forever. It is my aim to capture my subjects with dignity and refinement, avoiding the numerous clichés in wedding photography. Through developing a wide range of high profile publicity and promotional campaigns for many years I have developed an appreciation of aesthetics and have a keen eye for detail. I am able to cover a wide range of portrait and event based assignments, either corporate or personal. I am also able to offer on location work for models keen to increase their portfolios. My aims are to exceed expectations in everything I do whilst producing Creative Inspirational Photography.

In this video, biologist Heiko Blessin explains why plants need CO2 at all, why aquarium plants have different requirements and how to connect a JBL CO2 system. CO2 fertilisation for aquariums has never been explained more simply or more understandably!
Based on our own experience in customer service and the many messages and questions we receive, we have put together the typical mistakes beginners may make. The experienced aquarist might well smile, but if they are honest, these are mistakes we all made at the start, aren't they?
This way of directly determining the CO2 content will help you to set the ideal bubble count on your CO2 system and to monitor the quantity you add.
In just a few steps the inline diffuser can be installed and is ready for use. Our check-list and the following video will show you exactly how it works.
The JBL plant care concept leads to vigorous and healthy growth even with the most demanding aquatic plants. JBL has all the components you need, whether it's a fertiliser, a bottom substrate or a fully automatic CO2 fertiliser system.
Below you will find an outline graphic with examples to explain the structure and interconnections of all the CO2 components.
Have you ever had the chance to see how big the difference really is between a plant aquarium with and without CO2 fertilisation?
The discussion, whether aquariums also work without CO2, is as old as modern aquatics itself. One thing is clear: aquatic plants need carbon for their growth.
If we transfer this Liebig's Law of the Minimum to the aquatic field it quickly becomes clear how important balanced fertilisation is for plant aquariums.
In the fourth part of the series "The story of liquid CO2 fertilisation" we examine what we consider to be the most important aspect. The health of your animals but also of you, the aquarium owners is our number one priority.
In the third part of our series "The story of liquid CO2 fertilisation," we look at the CO2 content of the "liquid CO2" products which are added to the aquarium.
In the second part of the series "The story of liquid CO2 fertilisation" we examine how glutaraldehyde containing products work on plants.
In the first part of the series "The story of liquid CO2 fertilisation" we look at the active substance of the products considered liquid CO2.
A lot of aquarists are talking about liquid CO2, which is said to be able to replace a conventional pressurized gas system or a bio-CO2 system.
Carbon dioxide is the nutritional basis for aquatic plants which is supplemented through micro and macronutrients and light. The balance between all these elements is necessary for thriving plant growth in the aquarium.
Simply put, Liebig's Law of the Minimum states that the growth of plants is limited by the scarcest resource. Adding a nutrient which already exists in abundance does not influence the growth.
Unlike in natural waters, aquariums with fish mostly have a surplus of nutrients caused by feeding and the resulting fish excrement. Thus nitrates and phosphates in large (often too large!) quantities are available for the plants.
Every evening my aquarium resembles a "whirlpool" with a thousand little oxygen bubbles. This is the time I relax and wind down after a long day.

Super simple soup right here. You could make this with your eyes closed; however, things might get a bit messy. You might end up missing a few fingers and with soup on the ceiling.
Always cook with your eyes open, LOL.
This soup has a great roasted veg flavour. Roasted veggies are pretty awesome. You'll definitely be tempted to eat the entire pan of veggies when they come out of the oven, or at least I was. There's nothing quite like a soft, creamy piece of roasted cauliflower. This soup is the liquid form of roasted cauliflower and potatoes.
Roasted Potato and Cauliflower Soup
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb of Yukon Gold potatoes (roughly 5 medium sized potatoes), 1" cubes
1 head of cauliflower, broken into florets
3 shallots, thick dice1/2 tsp salt or more
good amount of pepper
6 cups water + 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon
Preheat oven to 400F. Place all the veggies on a baking sheet, pour on the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix it about with your hands, or another kitchen tool, so all the veg is coated with oil. Roast the veggies for 1 hour. Keep an eye on them in case they're done before the hour mark. Once roasted, let cool for 10 mins then place in a blender with the water/stock and pulse until smooth. Alternately, you could place the veggies in a pot with the water and use an immersion blender on them. If you use the blender you may need to transfer everything to a pot and place it on medium heat until warmed through.
Soup will be quite thick so you can add more liquid depending on how viscous you like your soup.

Plan is better for farmers and workers, says National Milk Producers Federation.
Source: NMPF news release
The Senate today approved a comprehensive immigration reform measure that will help dairy farmers with their current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty, according to the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF).
"We've known for years that the status quo employment situation in dairy farming is not sustainable," said Jerry Kozak, President and Chief Executive Officer of NMPF. "Today, the Senate moved decisively past that admission, and voted to change our labor and immigration laws for the better. Rather than tinker with what wasn't working, this new immigration measure builds something new and much better."
The immigration reform measure, approved today by a vote of 68-32, strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees and prospective new employers. This new visa system will be administered through USDA, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers.
"Dairy farmers have been concerned that their current workers might be overlooked by the reform efforts, but the Senate bill addresses that concern, by allowing currently employed, but undocumented, workers to maintain their jobs. This is a huge benefit, both to workers, and their employers," Kozak said.
Kozak noted that regardless of the region of the country, many dairy farmers "face ongoing challenges finding a sufficient number of workers to care for and milk their cows. Securing a reliable and competent workforce for our nation's farms and ranches is essential to ensuring that American consumers continue to enjoy dairy products on their grocery store shelves," he said.
Kozak stressed that even with today's history Senate vote, much more work on immigration reform has to be done this year on Capitol Hill. Negotiations are continuing in the House of Representatives, which is working on a separate bill, and where broad support for a comprehensive immigration reform measure is less certain.
"The key is to demonstrate to a majority of the House that action is needed," Kozak said. "The bill the House will consider is going to be different than this Senate bill, but the critical thing is that a bill addressing the needs of agriculture must be passed by the House. Inaction is not an option."
Throughout the immigration reform process, NMPF has worked with other farm worker and farm employer organizations in the Agriculture Workforce Coalition.

|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast.
- Favourable geographical location: long coastline, proximity to South African market
- Significant mineral (coal), agricultural and hydroelectric potential
- Huge offshore gas fields discovered in 2010
- Under-diversified; dependent on commodity prices (aluminium, coal)
- Inadequate transport and port infrastructure, which constrains the country's commodity export capacities
- Banking system constrained by government financing needs
- Unstable political and security environment
- Weak governance
- Difficult climatic conditions
Mediocre growth prospects
The economy is expected to rebound slightly in 2019, but will remain constrained by the crisis following the 2016 revelation of the government's hidden debts. Construction, which was one of the sectors driving growth before the crisis broke out, is expected to continue to suffer from the government's financing constraints linked to the donor freeze on international aid. In addition, the state's use of domestic financing sources, to the detriment of the private sector, is a drag on the banking sector. As a result, and despite monetary easing by the central bank, credit to the private sector is expected to continue to decline, which will impact the services sector, particularly in trade activities. With credit contracting, agricultural growth will remain held back by structurally limited access to credit. After acting as the main driver of economic expansion after the severe drought in 2016, the sector is nevertheless expected to continue to rebound. Fisheries and mining will also drive growth. While coal production growth is expected to continue to falter after the surge in 2017, it should remain robust. Graphite production is set to accelerate: in addition to increased production from the Balama mine, the Ancuabe and Caula sites are scheduled to start production in 2019. Inflation is expected to go up amid fading food price disinflation and rising energy prices (fuel and electricity). Prices will remain vulnerable to a depreciation of the metical.
Persistent over-indebtedness, vulnerable external position
In 2019, the budget deficit is expected to widen, in line with the increase in debt servicing costs and expenditure for the organisation of elections, despite measures to broaden the tax base, with a review of special tax regimes, and to reduce the state wage bill (which takes up about 55% of revenues). Capital expenditure growth will be limited by external financing constraints due to the high debt burden, which is mainly denominated in foreign currencies (almost 85% of total debt). The agreement to restructure a USD 726.5 million Eurobond, reached in November 2018, was a necessary first step towards exiting the debt crisis, but does not solve the over-indebtedness problem: external arrears remain high, and more defaults are possible. Monetary easing should allow the government to continue to use domestic financing, but the long-term viability of this solution seems limited.
In 2019, the large current account deficit is expected to widen in line with the deterioration in the trade balance, for while export growth is poised to slow, the production prospects (2022/23) for liquefied natural gas (LNG) will fuel demand for capital goods. Similarly, the services deficit will be affected by the need for technical services related to the development of these gas projects, while the income deficit will be hit by interest payments on debt and profit repatriation. Only the transfer balance will contribute positively to the current account balance. The deficit should, however, be financed by massive FDI flows, mainly into LNG projects. Despite the replenishment of foreign exchange reserves and stabilisation of the metical in 2018, the very large current account deficit exposes the country to external shocks. The debt restructuring agreement may make it easier to obtain an IMF loan, which would support the external position. However, the lack of clarity on the use of the USD 2 billion of hidden debt is expected to continue to stand in the way of talks with the IMF.
A precarious political climate, tested by the 2019 elections
Presidential, legislative, and provincial elections scheduled for October 2019 are expected to test the country's shaky political stability once again. The tensions inherited from the post-independence civil war (1975-1992) between the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo), which has been in power since 1975, and the Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo), a former armed guerrilla group that turned into a political party in 1992, were rekindled by disputed municipal elections in October 2018. The first elections since 2009 to be held with the participation of Renamo (which took up arms again between 2013 and 2016 to challenge Frelimo's grip on power), the municipal elections ended with accusations of fraud and suspension of the peace negotiations launched in late 2016. The progress made, including the agreement on the disarmament programme for Renamo's armed wing, has thus been put on hold. Fears about an outbreak of violence remain a key concern, even before the battle at the polls between President Filipe Nyusi, in power since 2015 and running for re-election, and the successor (not yet designated at the time of writing) of Renamo's long-standing leader Afonso Dhlakama (deceased in May 2018). Such a scenario is not out of the question, given the country's history of violence, the debt crisis and the perception of corruption, all of which are fuelling discontent. Terrorist attacks attributed to Islamist movements, mainly near the border with Tanzania, are an additional source of instability. In this context, the perception of weak governance and a difficult business climate (135th out of 190 countries in the 2019 Doing Business ranking) will persist.

Six months before the space shuttle Challenger exploded over Florida on Jan. 28, 1986, Roger Boisjoly wrote a portentous memo. He warned that if the weather was too cold, seals connecting sections of the shuttle's huge rocket boosters could fail.
"The result could be a catastrophe of the highest order, loss of human life," he wrote.
The memo was meant to jolt Morton Thiokol, the company that made the boosters and employed Mr. Boisjoly. In July 1985, a task force had been formed, partly on Mr. Boisjoly's recommendation, to examine the effect of cold on the boosters. The effort, however, had become mired in paperwork, procurement delays and a rush to launch the shuttle, according to later investigations.
Meanwhile, his apprehensions only grew. The night before the Challenger's liftoff, the temperature dipped below freezing. Unusual for Florida, the cold was unprecedented for a shuttle launching, and it prompted Mr. Boisjoly and other engineers to plead that the flight be postponed. Their bosses, under pressure from NASA, rejected the advice.
The shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launching, killing its seven crew members, including Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher from Concord, N.H.
Mr. Boisjoly's memo was soon made public. He became widely known as a whistle-blower in a federal investigation of the disaster. And though he was hailed for his action by many, he was also made to suffer for it.
Mr. Boisjoly (pronounced like Beaujolais wine) died in Nephi, Utah, near Provo, on Jan. 6. He was 73. His death was reported only locally at the time. He lived in southwest Utah, in St. George. His wife, Roberta, said he recently learned he had cancer in his colon, kidneys and liver.
Until the Challenger disaster, Mr. Boisjoly was known in his field as a crackerjack troubleshooter who had worked for companies in California on lunar module life-support systems and the moon vehicle. In 1980, he accepted a cut in pay to move with his family to Utah to deepen his involvement in the Mormon religion and to join Morton Thiokol.
After the Challenger explosion, Mr. Boisjoly gave a presidential commission investigating the disaster internal corporate documents. His disclosure of the internal memo he had written six months before the disaster was regarded as a bombshell.
Mr. Boisjoly was awarded the Prize for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and spoke to more than 300 universities and civic groups about corporate ethics. He became sought after as an expert in forensic engineering.
But before then he had paid the stiff price often exacted of whistle-blowers. Thiokol cut him off from space work, and he was shunned by colleagues and managers. A former friend warned him, "If you wreck this company, I'm going to put my kids on your doorstep," Mr. Boisjoly told The Los Angeles Times in 1987.
He had headaches, double-vision and depression, he said. He yelled at his dog and his daughters and skipped church to avoid people. He filed two suits against Thiokol; both were dismissed.
He later said he was sustained by a single gesture of support. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, hugged him after his appearance before the commission.
"She was the only one," he said in a whisper to a Newsday reporter in 1988. "The only one."
Roger Mark Boisjoly was born in Lowell, Mass., on April 25, 1938, and earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
Besides his wife, the former Roberta Malcolm, he is survived by his daughters Norma Patterson and Darlene Richens; his brothers Ronald, Russell and Richard; and eight grandchildren.
Mr. Boisjoly worked for 27 years in the aerospace industry. But it was one night and one moment that stood out. On the night of Jan. 27, 1986, Mr. Boisjoly and four other Thiokol engineers used a teleconference with NASA to press the case for delaying the next day's launching because of the cold. At one point, Mr. Boisjoly said, he slapped down photos showing the damage cold temperatures had caused to an earlier shuttle. It had lifted off on a cold day, but not this cold.
"How the hell can you ignore this?" he demanded. At first this seemed persuasive, according to commission testimony. Makers of critical components had the power to postpone flights.
Four Thiokol vice presidents, all engineers themselves, went offline to huddle. They later said that they had worried they lacked conclusive data to stop a launching that had already been postponed twice. They thought the naysayers might be operating on gut reaction, not science.
Jerry Mason, Thiokol's general manager, told his fellow executives to take off their engineering hats and put on management hats. They told NASA it was a go.
The next morning Mr. Boisjoly watched the launching. If there was going to be a problem, he thought it would come at liftoff. As the shuttle cleared the tower, his prayers seemed answered.
"Thirteen seconds later," Mr. Boisjoly said, "we saw it blow up."

Shopping for a home can be a very exciting time. But before you begin evaluating neighborhoods and housing options, you'll need to know just how much you can afford to spend. This calculator is designed to give you an estimate of the amount of financing you can expect to get when you begin house hunting.
The results below show the down payment amount, the maximum home price, and the
monthly payment amount, based on the information you provided. Note that if you
can afford a larger down payment — or find a mortgage with a lower interest
rate — you will ultimately be able to spend more on a home.
This chart shows how much of your annual income will go toward paying your debts if you were to buy the highest-priced home you can afford based on the information you provided. Would too much of your income go toward debt? If so, you may want to consider paying off some of your existing obligations before buying a home.
When determining the amount you can borrow, lenders will typically prefer that your mortgage plus taxes and insurance not exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income. In addition, lenders recommend that your mortgage, property taxes, insurance and all other monthly obligations not exceed 36 percent of your gross monthly income.
This hypothetical example is used for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary.
The information in this calculator is not intended as tax or legal advice, and it
may not be relied on for the purpose of avoiding any federal tax penalties. You
are encouraged to seek tax or legal advice from an independent professional advisor.
The content is derived from sources believed to be accurate. Neither the information
presented nor any opinion expressed constitutes a solicitation for the purchase

text: |In the traditions of Blackstone, we are proud to introduce our version of the classic floating light bulb. Not only does the bulb mysteriously light without any apparent electrical connections, but it can float around the performer and even out into the audience! While not for every performing venue, our outfit comes with one atomic lamp, special socket, and directions on various ways to rig the set-up. Note that this effect is best performed with theatrical lighting and distance from the audience. Various methods of rigging are presented including one-man performance moves as well as those that require offstage assistance. This trick was originally innovated by Burling Hull.
