Welcome to BirdingTexel.com
I started this site in April 2013. So that I can share photos and recent records on Texel with others. In addition to birdwatching and photographing on this beautiful Wadden island I have visited many foreign destinations. From these trips I have put a wide selection of photographs on this site, too. Hopefully they encourage you to arrange a trip to Texel. Undoubtedly the best place in the Netherlands for birdwatching. Don't hesitate to contact me or simply book a BIRDING TOUR.
I hope to see you soon on Texel and .........keep on birding!

Button Cell Battery
From remotes and garage door openers to alarm and also toys, nearly everything runs on some type of wholesale button cell battery power these days. In the United States we utilize about 3 billion single-use batteries annually. This remains in enhancement to all the rechargeable batteries found in devices like electric tooth brushes and cellular phone, approximated at 350 million each year. Unlike car batteries which are called for to be reused in the majority of states, there are few policies which apply to home batteries, and also most of them end up being landfilled. In fact, Americans throw away regarding 180,000 pounds of batteries in the garbage every year.
Why recycle batteries?
All batteries, regardless of whether they are single-use, rechargeable or wet cell, consist of hefty metals. Those steels include mercury, lead, cadmium as well as nickel. These steels are harmful to the atmosphere and can be launched when the batteries are squashed in the landfill, or released as airborne contaminants throughout incineration.
Mercury has actually been eliminated of several, yet not all, batteries many thanks to the Mercury-Containing as well as Rechargeable Battery Act of 1996. Among other points, the Act requires that batteries need to be easily eliminated from consumer items to ensure that they are quickly reused, have a tag indicating their specific chemistry and a published message that they must be reused or disposed of effectively, and also they need to be imprinted with the across the country acknowledged reusing symbol.
What States need button cell battery recycling? (1 )
Among US states, just The golden state has a wide recycling required for both single-use and rechargeable household batteries. New york city needs that all Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Steel Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and also Lead Acid (Pb) rechargeable batteries be reused. 20 other states call for recycling of rechargeable Lead Acid batteries, and also another 9 states additionally require recycling of Nickel-Cadmium batteries. 19 states have no button cell battery recycling legislations on guides whatsoever.
Where can I recycle my batteries?
If you live in a state that needs recycling of rechargeable batteries, you will certainly more than likely be able to return them to the retailer or manufacturer. Also in states without a recycling law on guides, retailers such as Best Buy, Office Depot and other electronic devices vendors will certainly have complimentary depositories, so check with these outfits.
Single-use batteries are more problematic. Unfortunately these are the most frequently utilized batteries, and also they are additionally the hardest to reuse. Some municipal programs gather them curbside, and also some metropolitan programs supply drop off areas. However, a lot of these centers limit their use to homeowners of the city or region. Attempt utilizing Earth911.com's locator service on their home page to see if there is a site near you. You might likewise consult the Contaminated materials department of your region Wellness Department.
www.rise-goods.com provides dropoff facilities for rechargeable batteries throughout the U.S. Businesses, municipalities as well as area companies can sign up to be a getting involved location offer button cell battery reusing at no cost. See rise-goods's website for more information on their program and getting involved locations.
There are likewise firms throughout the United States that give mail-in service. Many, nevertheless, cost for the program. Participants could order 'recycle kits' at a price. The sets consist of a pre-paid mailing label to send the batteries in when collected. Prices vary from as low as $25 to as high as $200. Earth911 checklists these sites in addition to drop off facilities in their locator service.
If all else falls short, get in touch with neighborhood stores, especially those that market electronics or computer systems.

They back up the bride throughout occasions of unbearable tension and chaos. They also consider charge for the duration of the wedding day itself, when the bride is anticipated to be at her best. The bridesmaids are an indispensable element of the bridal entourage that wants to be acknowledged and appreciated. I"ve also designed red silicone wristbands imprinted with "Remember DeAndre Butler" that I"m promoting for $5 with all proceeds going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Their New York City Chapter just lately asked me to run for their "Man of the Year" in 2012 and I accepted, so I"m hunting forward to that campaign as nicely. These baller bands no matter whether it be silicone or rubberized had been manufactured to develop a statement and to strengthen awareness for a result in these men and women support. It is not just a style accessory we dress in. We wear them to engage ourselves in a fight: a fight for Freedom, Justice, a battle for Lives, to acquire Respect, to assist us SpeakUp, to StandUP, to LiveSTRONGer, to Share the Guarantee, battle for Survivorship and fight against Racism.

Your hair can be worn extended or in braids. Include flowers to your hair for the ultimate hippie result. The treasured box gives some mystery as most teenagers shop far more than jewellery in it. A note from a boy in class, friendship custom silicone wristbands, images from the mall automatic image taker, their initial true ring from their mother and father or an image of a deceased grandparent are all particular treasures to be stored risk-free and personal and to be treasured permanently and ever. Yes, even office workers are riding the animal bands train. After all, they are actual, functional rubber bands, just with an exciting twist. Absolutely everyone is trading them now. Logos are truly awesome when they are place on this band. The issue that is great is that they are fascinating to seem at and folks will usually ask about them. They are straightforward and yet complicated enough to raise curiosity. Look in to these bands for your lead to or group. I consider that you will uncover it requires really small for them to catch on and before you know it the points you want to make will be screaming form peoples wrists.

Hi everyone! I know it's been since the beginning of the year since I last posted here. I've busy with birthing classes, baby showers, holidays, and family visiting. All of my showers (between Portland, Seattle, work, and my crafting group) turned out fabulous and we're so grateful for all the stuff we've received so far. We installed the car seats and while my in-laws were here visiting for Memorial Day weekend, we pretty much got the nursery done. There's just a few more things I'd like to get from Target and we still need to paint our rocking chair. Otherwise, we're pretty much ready for the baby. :)
Overall, Bean is doing great and I'm doing okay. Today, I
am 36 weeks and I'm super uncomfortable. I still have a lot of rib
pain on my right side, as Bean is pushed up on that side. But at my
last ultrasound at Week 34, he is head down and doing wonderful. Still a
boy and still only having one baby, lol. Of course they were teasing,
but I was curious how often nowadays does someone come in at 34 weeks
and finds out it's twins?!? I would think it doesn't happen that often
since they do ultrasounds so often now. But my doctor says it does still
We finished our birthing classes at the end of May and I only have a few
more weeks of work left at my day job before I go on leave. Since I've been so
uncomfortable, I also haven't been sleeping well. But luckily, I've
been able to use that time to be productive and do stuff around the
I've also been nesting and cleaning. I've already washed all of Bean's
clothes and stuff so I won't have to worry about it later. I know it's a
risk since I don't really know what size he'll be when he comes
out...but I'd just feel better already having stuff...even if he only
wears his new born sized stuff once, lol.
This pregnancy definitely has been a whirlwind for me...first with all the morning sickness and now with all the uncomfortableness and rib pain. I'm glad to almost be done and I know Bean will be here before we know it. I truly appreciate all of the patience, love, and support I've gotten this year during all of this. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Masters Theses
White Noise investigates moments when white supremacist ideology injects itself into the conversation about American Identity and American History in an attempt to co- opt those definitions and control the conversation. The exhibition considers the effects of this identity crisis on American identity, white identity, American history, and family unity. The exhibition looks at these issues through the lens of the Virginia Historical Markers program, Civil War Re-enactment, contemporary white identity politics and supremacy, monuments, educational history museums, and the artist's personal narrative about white supremacy as it relates to his own sense of loyalty and connection to his ...

Timothy Rose introduced himself as President of Flyte Tyme and requested amendment of its tenant application to include the four minibuses that were left off the original application.
Chairman Ross asked where they would be parked.
Mr. Rose said that they are on shuttle runs during the day and parked in back of the building in the evening.
Ms. Omsberg stated that she had passed by Flyte Time at about 5:00 P.M. and saw two of the buses parked there and questioned what the numbers on the four buses were.
Mr. Rose stated #'s 101 through #104.
Ms. Omsberg said that the buses were very large and took up more than a regular parking space and requested that Mr. Rose explain the size of them and where he intended to park them on the property.
Mr. Rose stated that the buses hold anywhere between 27 and 31 passengers depending on configuration and luggage but was not sure of the actual length.
Mr. Rose stated that two of the buses have been there since November.
Ms. Omsberg stated that they were not supposed to be there according to the original application. Mr. Rose said that on the original application limousines were listed and in the State of New Jersey that is classified as minibus, van, stretch limo or sedan.
Ms. Omsberg said she was concerned about proper parking for these buses; will there be enough parking spaces due to the size of the minibuses? Ms. Omsberg asked Mr. Rose if it was only going to be for four.
Mr. Rose stated yes.
Ms. Omsberg asked where do you plan to park them so that they will not be an obstacle.
Mr. Rose stated that the stretch limos will be moved to a different area and the minibuses will be parked behind the building.
Mr. Trent made a motion to approve with the condition that the four minibuses be parked behind the building not in the street. The motion was seconded by Mr. Paton.

Mr. James Delia introduced himself as the attorney for Green Willow Charter School. Mr. Delia stated that as a charter school they are considered a public school in the eyes of the Legislature. The reason they are present at this meeting is to present a conceptual proposal by the charter school and they would like to come back in the near future to allow the public an opportunity to review the plans and for the consultation and cooperation process which the Board may be familiar with. Mr. Delia stated that this matter is in the jurisdiction of the Department of Education of the State of New Jersey. Mr. Delia said that the reason they were here is so that the Board and public have an opportunity to be heard by the State. He stated that the long term proposal, with respect to the site plan, is unchanged with slight modifications with respect to a playground. There is a short term plan to have a temporary structure while the more permanent structure is being built. Mr. Delia called upon Mr. McNally (Engineer) to give the details of the proposed plan.
Mr. McNally distributed two exhibits marked Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2. Ms. Omsberg questioned the date of the exhibits. 3/04/02.
Mr. McNally began with Exhibit 2 which he stated was the Hindu Temple approved by site plan application by the Board last year. If this plan were constructed today the school would utilize the community center. They would use the basement during the week when the temple was not using the facility and the first floor of the community center when the temple was not using it. The playground area would be in the flat area behind the center to be used by the school only. He stated that the dashed red lines show the phasing of this project. The intent is to start construction of the site work which would consist of widening a portion of West Ramapo Avenue, the frontage along Ramapo Valley Road as approved by the County and the driveways as approved.
Mr. McNally displayed Exhibit 1 which shows the intent if the construction were to proceed. It shows a front parking lot to be built which is as approved on the Hindu Temple site plan, a portion of the second parking lot for parking for staff and teachers and to allow for drop off of children and walkways to the school. The site would be graded in accordance with the approved site plan and those portions of drainage required would be constructed. A small playground would be fenced in.
The school would be fully handicapped accessible, would be constructed on a temporary basis and would consist of modules about 14' wide and 60' long. Once this work is done the school would be occupied and start operations. It would be fenced off from the rest of the site for safety purposes and to segregate the continuing operation of the work from the balance of the temple site.
It is intended that once the full site is completed, during the summer when the school is closed, the temporary building will be removed, taken apart and sent back for partial refund and the rest of the parking lot will be completed. When the fall session starts the intent would be for the school operation to move into the community center.
Mr. McNally stated that they tried not to change the site plan at all other than the temporary location of the temporary structure and the temporary playground which would be removed. The final product would be what was approved by the Board with the addition of a fenced in playground in the rear yard of the Community Center.
Mr. Scandariato stated that he did not necessarily agree that the Board's jurisdiction is superceded by the State of New Jersey under Title 18A. He said this is not a Board of Education property but a privately owned property which received site plan approval. At the very least you need to come back for amended site plan approval.
Mr. Delia passed out a letter dated August 23, 2001 from the State to Mr. Montroy and asked that it be reviewed and special note taken of Paragraph 6. He said the letter sets forth the basic review process for charter schools and gives it the same classification as Board of Education property.
Mr. Delia said they could have a more detailed plan for the Board to review in two to two and one-half weeks. Ms. Wiley stated - our engineer needs time to review.
Mr. Scandariato asked Mr. Delia if he was aware that there was contamination on the site and that the reason the parking lot was put there in its entirety was based on DEP rulings that it must be covered by macadam.
Mr. Delia answered it will be.
Mr. Scandariato said not according to what you show on Exhibit 1.
Mr. Delia again asked Mr. McNally to come back up.
Mr. McNally stated that they will have to comply with the State regulations.
Mr. Scandariato asked that they file an application and come in with plans.
Mr. Delia stated that they are not submitting an application for the Board's approval. That is not the process from his perspective. If you disagree we will deal with that as it arises.
Mr. Delia stated for the record "we are not here for a vote of yes or no, for approval from you, we are here to present for your observation, to use the terminology, for consultation, at which point you would then direct a letter to the State. If this were any other preempted application we could submit a letter to bring to your attention what we are doing, get a date, have an opportunity to review, listen to what you have to say, but it is not a binding conclusion. The State has jurisdiction over its schools." Mr. Delia stated that there is a difference of opinion as to how this matter should proceed.
Mr. Scandariato said we will take a look at it.
Mr. Delia asked for a date. April 22, 2002.
No old or new business.
A motion to adjourn was made by Ms. Omsberg, seconded by Mr. Trent at 8:45 P.M., all were in favor.

Welcome! So glad you dropped in.
As women, we are exhausted and hungry for a message of hope. We are tired of competing for titles, approval, acceptance, and the perpetual frustration of comparing ourselves to other women who seem to have it altogether. We are drained from wanting to be authentic, but scared to take off the mask. After all, even though we put off the perception that we have it all together, deep down inside, most women are plagued with insecurities.
Why? Because every woman knows her own flaws, and more times than not, when she looks into the mirror she does not like what she sees. We are sick of self, but similar to the Greek mythology character Narcissist, we are paradoxically trapped in the gaze of our own reflection. Not knowing how to "get over ourselves," we continue to labor – building our little kingdoms in the attempt to achieve greatness. This blog is an endeavor to pull our gaze from our mirror and kingdoms, and to place it on a greater King, a greater Kingdom, and a greater Throne.
To encourage other women to "get real," I will attempt to share in such an authentic way that it hurts. This blog is for any woman who is tired of competing for acceptance. It is for any woman who aspires to be "somebody," but continues to find herself rejected. This blog is for the women who long to see something bigger and greater.
This blog is for the women who are totally jacked up and stand in desperate need of a Savior.

Judith Ingram, Communications Director,
(202) 523-3240, ext. 127
WASHINGTON-As the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) meets in Madrid this month to decide which member state will serve as its chair in 2009, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom strongly recommends that the United States withhold support from one of the declared candidates: Kazakhstan.
"The OSCE chair should be emblematic of the values of this preeminent trans-Atlantic security and human rights organization," said Michael Cromartie, chair of the Commission. "Yet Kazakhstan's blatant and widespread violations of human rights, including those associated with freedom of religion or belief, make it a poor contender, at least in 2009, to lead the OSCE."
Kazakhstan, which emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union with a relatively stable economy based on extensive oil and gas resources, looked promising 10 years ago. Home to scores of ethnic groups-due, in part, to its role as a place of forced exile for dissenters from Czarist Russia and then the Soviet Union-it was an ethnically and religiously diverse society with a government that encouraged tolerance.
Today, however, the Kazakhstan government has joined other states in the former Soviet Union in placing new restrictions on human rights and civil society. The State Department's 2007 International Religious Freedom Report notes that Kazakhstan's "religious laws narrow the legal protections of religious freedom found in the Constitution." Religious groups must comply with onerous registration requirements; unregistered groups have endured increasing fines, and purportedly "non-traditional" religious groups are often refused permission to register or their applications are substantially delayed. Recently, the government has targeted minority religious groups in spurious criminal cases, and used property disputes as a tool of pressure against the Hare Krishna community.
There are at least 300 political prisoners in Kazakhstan who have been convicted on allegedly religion-related charges, according to leading human rights activists. Most of these prisoners are assumed to be Muslims, but it is impossible to know how many are allegedly tied with extremist organizations and how many are simply devout believers who may dissent from officially favored religious hierarchies. According to the Forum 18 News Service, two Baptist congregations and a Pentecostal one have been caught up most recently in the crackdown on religious practice that has been dubbed Operation Religious Extremism.
The Kazakhstan government also has a deteriorating record on protecting democratic institutions. The OSCE itself pronounced the country's parliamentary elections in August 2007 "neither free nor fair." Recent constitutional amendments have made current President Nursultan Nazarbayev practically president for life, and changes in election law have made it possible only for the pro-presidential party to win seats in parliament. Moreover, for several years the government has cracked down on independent media.
"Against this background, Kazakhstan should not be rewarded with a key leadership role in an organization that is central to promoting the protection of human rights," Cromartie said. "The Commission calls on the U.S. government and other OSCE states to vote against Kazakhstan's bid to be OSCE chair, and to energetically engage the Kazakhstan government in talks on how to significantly improve its record on human rights, including religious freedom, in part so that its bid eventually can be reconsidered."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor the status of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief abroad, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments, and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and the Congress.

Recognising the need to provide more choice for Australians to manage their diabetes, the Federal Government's November 2018 expanded funding announcement included FreeStyle Libre for the first time. The Federal Government recently reiterated their intent to include the FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system on the list of products subsidised under the expanded CGM subsidy scheme for new glucose monitoring devices.
We couldn't agree more - our discussions with the Federal Government over the past two years have always been focused on providing more choice for Australians to manage their diabetes, with FreeStyle Libre's revolutionary technology. We also look forward to the Federal Government initiating the next steps towards subsidisation of FreeStyle Libre on the NDSS, outside of the expanded CGM subsidy funding.
We have provided exhaustive data and supporting material to support our submission in Australia - years of clinical and real-world evidence show that when individuals living with diabetes use Abbott's Flash Glucose Monitoring technology, they have both short and long-term health benefits.
While the final decision now rests with the Federal Government, we want to reassure you that equitable and affordable access of FreeStyle Libre for Australians is our number one priority.
FreeStyle Libre has been reviewed for supply by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Australia and is registered with the Australian Registry of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). It has been available for use in Australia since June 2016.
FreeStyle Libre is used by over 1 million people globally across 46 countries, with subsidisation available in 33 countries. Australia was among the first countries outside of Europe to introduce FreeStyle Libre and we are doing everything we can to have Australia soon join this list of subsidised countries.
Thank you for your ongoing support, you are our inspiration!

U.S. Wealth & Income Disparity Reach Alarming Proportions
In America today, wealth and income inequality have reached levels not seen in generations — specifically, the years leading up to the Great Depression.
The current statistics are simply stunning.
The top 400 individuals now own more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans and the top one percent earn more income than the bottom fifty percent.
This disparity has gotten the attention of an increasingly frustrated and struggling American public. In recent decades, things have gone from bad to worse.
Today, the top 1% of Americans controls 40% of the country's wealth. Twenty-five years ago, the top 12% controlled 33% of the country's wealth. Meanwhile, the poorer 50% now owns less than 2.5% of the nation's wealth.
The middle class has disappeared before our eyes.
This matters for reasons above and beyond fairness. In an economy that is 70 percent reliant on consumer spending, such massively unequal income and wealth levels don't bode well for growth, now or in the future.
It is abundantly clear that American consumers will not spend the nation out of its economic doldrums. Two-and-a-half years after the recession "officially" ended, unemployment remains stubbornly high and home values continue to sink.
However, the American middle class had already been in long-term decline, even before the Great Recession took hold. Worker's paychecks have been stagnant for decades.
Yes, that's decades.
According to Census figures, the $47,715 median annual income earned by a male, full-time, year-round worker in 2010 was less than the $49,065 a male earned in 1973, adjusted for inflation.
This means that median incomes have actually gone backward over the previous four decades. That's simply stunning.
Meanwhile, the Census reveals that during the same span, the top 5% of earners saw their earnings increase by over 40%.
The evidence is abundant: Over the past few decades, the richest Americans have managed to become continually richer, even as the vast majority have regressed.
According to the Washington Post, since the 1970s, median pay for executives at the nation's largest companies more than quadrupled even after adjusting for inflation. Yet, during the same period, pay for non-supervisory workers has dropped more than 10 percent.
In 2010, the average American earned $26,487 — down over $2,000 in real terms from 2006. This figure includes females and part-time workers who may be looking for full-time positions.
The above income level amounts to roughly $500 per week. Think about that for a moment; that's the average American income.
There is still plenty of money in the U.S. economy. The problem is that most of it is going to a select few at the top.
Last year, a remarkable report from the AFL-CIO got widespread media attention.
The report found that in 2010, the CEOs of just 299 companies received a combined total of $3.4 billion in pay — enough to support 102,325 jobs paying the median wages for all workers.
Most troubling, perhaps, the report found that in 2010, CEO pay had grown to 343 times workers' median pay — by far the widest gap in the world. Back in 1980, CEO pay was 42 times the average blue collar worker's pay.
In just three decades, inequality has grown to extreme proportions. As Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted, the U.S. now has the biggest income disparity gap of any industrialized country in the world and this is "creating two societies."
In America today, the divide between the haves and have-nots has become enormous. The statistics seem fantastical.
The top one percent of American earners control 40 percent of the country's wealth. Most shockingly, the total net worth of the bottom 60 percent of Americans is less than that of the Forbes 400 richest Americans.
Obviously, wealth can be passed on generationally. There will always be some level of inequality. However, incomes are not inherited. Yet, even there, the level of inequality is astounding.
The top one percent saw their incomes rise by 275 percent between 1979 and 2007, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Meanwhile, the bottom fifth of earners only saw their incomes grow by 20 percent during that same period.
This stark divide worries most Americans.
A new survey finds that 66 percent of Americans see strong or very strong conflicts between the haves and have-nots, up sharply from the figure in 2009. This has become a contentious matter and will surely be a campaign issue this year.
The concerns aren't simply about the differences between the upper class and what's left of the middle class. The concerns are about how fast so many people have fallen into the lower classes and into poverty.
In 2010, poverty hit a new record in the U.S. The 46.2 million Americans below the poverty line was the highest number in the 52 years of reporting. The number of people in poverty rose for the fourth consecutive year, as the poverty rate climbed to 15.1% (the highest since 1993), up from 14.3% in 2009.
In December of 2007, there were 27.385 million food stamp recipients. However, according to the latest data, this had ballooned to 46.268 million. In L.A. County, alone, one million residents subsist on Food Stamps.
While the Great Recession and its lingering after-effects have had a particularly devastating effect on huge segments of American society, the upper class has carried on largely unaffected. Sales of luxury goods at high-end retail stores are booming.
From 2000 to 2010, median income in the U.S. declined 7% after adjusting for inflation, according to Census data. That marked the worst 10-year performance in records going back to 1967.
According to a Wall Street Journal survey of economists' forecasts, incomes won't return to year 2000 levels until 2021. That's a two-decade span. How will all of these millions of Americans hang on that long, even as all their expenses continue to rise?
Between June 2009, when the recession officially ended, and June 2011, inflation-adjusted median household income fell 6.7 percent, to $49,909, according to a study by two former Census Bureau officials.
The typical household now has at least two workers. That's because, at current income levels, two workers are a necessity in most households.
Keep in mind, the above income decline continued even after the recession was declared over. So, things have indeed gone from bad to worse. That's why most Americans are still asking, What recovery?
From the start of the recession in December 2007 to June 2011, incomes dropped 9.8 percent, apparently the largest in several decades, according to other Census Bureau data. The result has been a significant reduction in the American standard of living.
Ultimately, less disposable income is being redirected back into the economy, which hurts economic growth.
But while so many millions of Americans are struggling just to pay their mortgage, rent, food and prescription costs, the rich have carried on as if the recession never happened.
While the wealthiest Americans continue buying second and even third homes, plus high-end, luxury vehicles, millions of young Americans are contending with the fact they they will have a lower standard of living than their parents, a start contrast to most of the 20th Century, at least. For the majority of Americans, the American dream has slipped away.
A recent study by Dan Ariely, James B. Duke professor of behavioral economics, found that 20 percent of Americans rake in 84 percent of the nation's wealth, while the bottom 40 percent only owns a low 0.1 percent. The study found that the U.S. has one of the worst levels of income inequality—not just in the West, but in the entire world. U.S. inequality is now comparable to that of China and some South American nations.
What a sad and disturbing development; instead of China becoming more like the U.S., we're instead becoming more like China.
America is no longer the "land of opportunity" it once was for previous generations.
A report from the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) finds that America is 10th in social mobility between generations, dramatically lower than in nine other developed countries.
This means that America is now 10th in the world in the American dream.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. The current state of affairs seems so... un-American.

Fed Announces Record Profits for Second Time in Three Years
The Federal Reserve paid the federal government $76.9 billion in 2011, the second highest amount in history. In 2010, the Fed paid the government an all-time record of $79.3 billion.
And in 2009, the Fed paid $52 billion to the government, which was, at the time, the highest earnings in the central bank's history.
Are you sensing a pattern here?
The central bank says it "earned" the money from investments made to bolster the U.S. economy. The Fed began buying Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities during the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession to try to lower long-term interest rates.
The Fed makes money from interest earned on its portfolio of securities. After covering its expenses, the Fed makes a payment of the remaining amount to the Treasury Department.
Well, that's the official story.
The reality is that the Fed has been legally granted the license to print money by the U.S. Congress. The Fed is able to conjure money out of nothing — in essence, out of thin air — to buy Treasuries.
This allows the government to fund its deficit spending, even when there aren't enough available buyers on the open market to meet the government's absolutely massive borrowing needs.
All the Fed's purchases have pushed the central bank's balance sheet to $2.9 trillion, more than three times the size of its balance sheet before the financial crisis struck in the fall of 2008.
This means that the money supply has increased by more than 300 percent in roughly three years. That should scare you because it is the textbook definition of inflation.
Such massive increases in the money supply, especially over such a brief period, raise the specter of rapidly rising price inflation. This is especially true if the central bank is unable to tighten, or mop up all that excess money, when the economy eventually recovers.
There are many who doubt that the Fed has sufficient tools to stabilize inflation over the longer term since the federal funds rate is already at zero. You could say that the Fed may be fighting a battle without any further ammunition.
Inflation is simply the increase of the money supply. When all of this money is brought into creation without a corresponding increase in goods and/or services, inflation ultimately results.
Our money is being devalued and, ultimately, that's all inflation really is.
The $2.9 trillion expansion of the Fed's balance sheet is only what it admits to publicly. The Fed is in the business of secrecy and operates in the most opaque manner.
Bloomberg recently reported that the Fed secretly loaned $7.7 billion in freshly created money to banks and financial institutions around the globe during the financial crisis. A sum that large is just mind-boggling.
The Fed's entire method of operation is a charade. It prints money backed by nothing, lends it out to global financial institutions and is able to legally profit from it. This is outrageous because the Fed is a cartel of privately owned banks and actually has shareholders.
Interest earned on the Fed's portfolio of securities should not qualify as earnings. It is nothing less than manipulation — a rigged game. What other industry has the extraordinary privilege of creating something out of nothing, at no cost, and is then able to then profit from it?
The legal ability to create money out of thin air amounts to larceny and counterfeiting on a massive scale. It should be viewed as a criminal activity by a criminal enterprise.
But the Fed was granted this extraordinary privilege by the U.S. Congress back in 1913. Since that time, particularly since the U.S. went off the gold standard in 1971, the value of the dollar has been steadily losing value.
The dollar declined 40% in the 25-year period from 1985 to 2010, and 80% since 1970.
That is the end result of unchecked, unfettered money-printing.
And that's the business of the Federal Reserve.

Trade Deficit Forces U.S. to Borrow Billions
The U.S. is now confronted by a massive $15.23 trillion national debt. However, it is also facing another serious debt problem — its massive trade deficit.
In 2010, the total U.S. trade deficit was $497.9 billion, resulting from $2.3 trillion in imports minus $1.8 trillion in exports.
Countries with big, persistent trade deficits have to borrow to fund themselves. This is a reality that many deficit hawks aren't considering in their quests to shrink the U.S. budget.
Even if Washington somehow managed to balance its budget, the trade imbalance alone would continue sucking billions out of the U.S. each and every day.
The U.S. trade deficit surged to more than $50 billion in May of 2011, marking its largest gap since October 2008. And by October of last year, the latest month of available data, the U.S. trade deficit was still a whopping $43.5 billion.
A surge in exports was one of the lone bright spots in a string of negative economic indicators last year. Exports have been aided by a declining dollar.
The problem is that imports continue to exceed exports each and every month, resulting in an ever-expanding trade gap.
More than half of that deficit is with China.
The U.S. trade deficit with China swelled to a record $273.1 billion in 2010, from about $226.9 billion in 2009. The cumulative Jan-Oct 2011 deficit with China, of around $245.5 billion, was on track to top that.
China aside, one of the biggest drivers of the U.S. trade deficit is imported crude oil. Since oil is priced in dollars, the weakened dollar is punishing Americans every time they fill up their tanks. Simply put, the dollar is buying less these days.
In 2001, the U.S. Dollar Index traded around $120. Today, the U.S. Dollar Index is trading at $81, about 32 percent below the 2001 high. That's a serious decline in value.
Though a declining dollar makes U.S. exports cheaper overseas, our No. 1 import is oil, which is also priced in dollars. A weak dollar makes oil, and ultimately gasoline, more expensive, forcing the trade deficit further into the negative.
As long as the U.S. remains so reliant on foreign oil, the trade imbalance will remain a source of trouble, leading to billions of dollars flowing out of the country every day.
Moreover, as long as the trade deficit continues, the U.S. will also continue borrowing from abroad to pay the difference.
Since imports shrink the nation's gross domestic product, U.S. GDP will continue to face downward pressure. Every $1 billion of a larger deficit subtracts about 0.1 of a percentage point from the annualized growth rate.
This means that the trade gaps in May and June of last year, alone, likely reduced GDP by more than half-a-percent. As it is, the economy was already growing at an anemic pace through most of the year.
U.S. GDP expanded 1.8 percent in the third quarter of 2011, and just 1.3 percent in the second quarter.
The trade deficit just makes maters worse.
The flow of imports into the U.S. is also displacing American jobs. We're buying all these foreign goods instead of making them here at home.
The U.S., the world's No. 1 importer, has been able to run continual trade deficits for many years because it has been receiving an inflow of capital from surplus nations, such as China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. If these surplus nations ever hope to get repaid (i.e. to reverse those capital flows) then those trade imbalances must be reversed.
Every nation would love to be a net exporter. This simply isn't possible.
Countries cannot run surpluses forever, just as they cannot run deficits forever. Unless deficits and surpluses are ultimately reversed, debt eventually builds to unsustainable levels in the deficit countries — like the U.S. That time seems to have finally arrived.
Trade deficits are nothing new to U.S. In fact, the U.S. has run deficits in the trade of goods every year since 1976.
The U.S. has long since reached the point of unsustainability. No nation can continually buy more from abroad than it sells abroad. It's simple arithmetic. Where will the money for all the purchases come from?
The trade deficit has helped make the U.S. the world's biggest debtor nation. Balancing the federal budget won't even begin to address the nation's trade deficit.
That will require less consumption, more saving and more production here at home, plus more consumption and less saving in places like China.
Those will be tough trends to reverse.

On my last post we explored whether 'Meditation' is a taboo word and the results were surprising. An alternative expression - 'Mindfulness' kept coming up though, suggesting different connotations - not so spooky, or suggestive of chanting and behaviour we might find strange in this country. Not that meditation is really like that - but it is a common misconception. We are more used to the term 'Praying,' but, again, it can be off-putting for some.

Mauri Signature Body Work
When a person becomes unwell, the Mauri of that person weakens.
Mauri Ora Signature Body Work is Massage and Healing that encompasses both Pacific and Maori Technique. It is often blended with Eastern and Western Healing Techniques. These techniques restore energy flow and balance the Mauri (life force), te taha Wairua (spirit), te taha tinana (Body), te taha Hinengaro (mind).
Mauri Ora Healing can also help identify "issues" before they manifest as pain or similar distortions in the physical body. It opens our consciousness to the areas we need to work through and heal in order to bring our lives into balance and maintain health, harmony and vitality.
This massage is delivered through rhythmical arm and hand movements sweeping from one end of the body to the other, over and under the body restoring the free flow of energy. The therapist works very intuitively. It is described as a nurturing, grounding and energetic experience. Where blockage, physical or emotional pain is encountered we use Mauri Ora energy work that amplifies the energy force by combining various breathing, sound and body awareness exercises.
Mauri Ora energy work is an effective tool for healing because of the principles of resonance and entrainment. In physics, entrainment theory is the process where two vibrating objects, vibrating at different speeds, start to vibrate at the same speed when energy is transferred between the two objects.
Clients that have who have regular Energy Massage become energy sensitive. You are taken through a guided imagery exercise which help direct the focus on opening up blocked energy channels, whilst using the Ha breath, the client and practitioner are able to work together to uncover areas which need extra attention, breathing into and releasing specific areas of tension, bringing about body-mind connection.
The minimum time for this Transformation Process is 90min.

Ten Tips to Refinancing in North Carolina
I have to say that refinancing in North Carolina isn't fun, nor is it a ball of awesome. I mean, in all honesty, we had to do all of the research ourselves because frankly no one wanted to tell you about the fees and hidden costs that you'll probably pay if you don't be careful. Here's a few things to keep in mind of to take out of the closing costs of a refinance.
- Mortgage Insurance. You only need this if you're getting a second mortgage and if you don't have home owner's insurance. This stuff stings because you have to remember to cancel it even if you're done with the second mortgage. If you don't need this, get rid of it.
- In North Carolina, there is a origination fee. This is usually 1% of whatever your loan is although there could be a little extra called an "underwriting" fee. This is normal, but it's also pure profit for creating the loan for you. In other states, this actually goes away these days, especially on jumbo loans, but in this state, it does not (at least not to my knowledge).
- Put everything in writing. If they're going to waive something, that should go into the good faith estimate. Also, from experience, attorneys fees range somewhere around $500USD mark.
- Title insurance is a re-issue of your previous title. Don't buy a new one since that's a waste of money. Titles are the same everywhere nationally and it usually costs you something like $2 per $1000 on loan. This is for the lender so if they're trying to get you for a lot more, get your own title from any title insurance company. You could try Chicago Title Insurance Company, whom is one of the major three vendors nationally.
- Don't get suckered into a prepayment penalty loan. These loans will basically mean that you have to pay the entire interest amount off regardless of how early you pay off your debt. You don't want a penalty for prepayment which basically means that the moment you pay off your principal, you're home free for interest payments.
- Did you know that you can get waivers for appraisal fees and such? This all depends on how much you're shopping out your loan and how large it is. The more money that's at stake, the more there are negotiations on closing costs. Everything is up for grabs since the banks want to do the loan, especially if you have a spectacular FICO score.
- Don't roll your closing costs into the loan. That's plain silly. It might seem like you're not paying a dime, but in reality, you're not only borrowing the money of the closing cost, but you're also paying interest on it. More payment to seem hassle free? I don't think so.
- Home owner's insurance. You shouldn't have to pay this if you already have a home owner's policy. I don't know for sure on this, but I'm pretty sure it can be thrown out of the closing costs.
- Regardless of whether or not your house is in a flood plain, you have to pay for the flood certification. Runs somewhere around $15-25 depending on the home.
- If you don't know how much your house is worth before you start down this path for refinance, check a real estate site like ZIllow. While this isn't an exact science and there's not guarantee that the appraiser will value your house close to this price, it's a number to work with and it seems that banks also use sites like these for their beginning estimations. This will give you an idea on whether or not it's even worth pursuing the refinance in the first place. On top of this… sometimes it's not worth getting into a refinance situation if you've already paid off a significant chunk of your principal since regardless of the rate, you're basically getting into another loan from the beginning. The money spent and time has to be accounted for in a refinance.
In the real estate industry, many of these fees are termed as "junk fees". They're basically fees that are tagged onto loans to make it seem legitimate but are actual pure profit for the loan generation. Think of it like the certain types of regulatory fees that you sometimes see on utilities or cell phone bills where it's not tied to any actual law but is made to sound official so that they can collect a little bit more money.
What's interesting here is that a lot of people lower their rates without understanding what sort of savings you'll need to save. If the closing fees are $3600, and you're saving $100/month in mortgage payments by lowering the rate, then this means that each year, you'll be saving $1200. This means that just to break even on getting the lower rate, you'll have to hold onto that home for another three years. Is that in your plan? Perhaps. But you need to figure all of this out and believe me when I say that most real estate people that are involved in your loan will probably not go out of their way to tell you about those types of things. In their best interest of course.

Avila Institute
To learn more about the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, please watch the webinar below.
Also, please visit the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation at www.Avila-Institute.org
Under the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the mission of the Avila Institute is to draw Christians worldwide into deeper union with Christ through mystagogically oriented spiritual education and formation focused on the appropriation of the magisterium faithful mystical and ascetical patrimony of the Catholic Church.
Commitment to the Magisterium
Based on our conviction that theology is an ongoing conversation among believers that attends to the sacred doctrine of the Church, the Avila Institute in its instruction and content will always seek full accountability and submission to the magisterium of the Catholic Church. We do this not primarily as a duty, but as a joyful embrace recognizing the Blessed Trinity is alive and actively working through the Church as the primary means of redemption and vivification of the Body of Christ and the world. We recognize that in the Catholic Church we find the fullness of truth as well as the greatest depth and breadth of wisdom available to the world on the topic of how human persons can know, love, and serve God and His creation.
Mystagogy and Pedagogy
In the ancient Church, mystagogy referred to catechetical instruction provided after baptism. This instruction sought to engage in a disciplined theological conversation by which the baptized might deepen their encounter with the abiding presence of the Lord. At the Avila Institute, we strive not only to convey vital connections in the content of our faith by which we can provide reasons for our hope (pedagogy aimed at a theological wisdom), but we also aim for a kind of discussion that avails students to the transformational presence of Christ by which our minds are renewed (mystagogy aimed at spiritual wisdom). We do this throughout our course work and other activities by building a community that attends to one another in holy conversation about the great truths elucidated by the Fathers, Doctors, Saints and Mystics, and all this to encourage the practice of contemplative prayer and a deeper understanding of how God is working in the pastoral challenges of the world today.

What would your life in 2016 be like if every day you lived with an awareness that you might enter eternity the next day? Would your life be changed if heaven came tomorrow? Or, perhaps hell? If you knew where you would go, would you change anything?
Rose growers know the secret of living with the anticipation of the future. Climbing roses are trimmed and trained in the dull season of winter. The grower knows that today's changes for the vines will produce a transformation of beauty in the coming months. Part of that preparation is the cutting away of much unproductive growth. If you would allow it, it is much like repentance for the human soul.
We often begin New Years with a desire to make some new changes in our lives. For example, this year I need to change my diet and lose a few pounds. Yet, the reality is we have also allowed ourselves to grow too much other junk in our lives which hinder our ability to know God. Perhaps it is a good time to re-evaluate our approach to life. Perhaps it is time to anticipate our future and allow God to remove the excess that impedes spirituality. For some, new life in Jesus will be necessary if you would enter heaven.
So here's the thought I had today: Live each day as if tomorrow is your last and eternity is around the corner. See if it changes you. The truth is, that is always possible.
Happy New Year 2016!
