US action and reaction to the South China Sea issue have indicated that the Americans have misjudged the issue and miscalculated its strategy in the region. America now perceives China as its rival, not a partner, and begins to "contain" China by working closely with its allies and claimant states which have territorial disputes with China in the region. A misjudged strategy will be costly to America.
Geopolitically speaking, China and the US do not have direct geopolitical conflict in the South China Sea, only the US's self-defined "freedom of navigation." The freedom of navigation is in China's national interest too. China today is now the largest trading nation in the world and more than 80 percent of its trade (import and export) go through the South China Sea. It is not in China's interest to disturb the freedom of navigation in the region as it will hurt China's economy badly.
US presence in the region is a historical fact recognized by China. While heavy US presence in the region is regarded by some in China as a threat, China does not have its own version of the Monroe Doctrine to drive US influence out of the region. In reality, China welcomes continuous US presence in the region and its provision of public goods, including the freedom of navigation. Chinese leaders have always maintained that they welcome and support a positive role of the US in the region.
However, the US has misjudged China, its intention and its role. It based its judgement on its own historical experience as an expansionistic empire and its deeply rooted great power ideology, and not on China's diplomatic performance in the region. When George W. Bush came to power, rising neo-conservatives made an attempt to contain China as it perceived China as its competitor and even its enemy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today, even though the US no longer employs the neo-conservative rhetoric, the "pivot to Asia" strategy continues to reflect such an ideology. The US has repeatedly emphasized that the South China Sea must be resolved peacefully without a big nation presiding over smaller neighbors.
For years, it was China's smaller neighbors, particularly Vietnam, who have occupied most of the islands, rocks and reefs, and reclaimed land in the process long before China did.
There is much wisdom in this approach, but it is biased in China's context. The late Deng Xiaoping had called for "joint development" by putting aside the issue of sovereignty in South China Sea. Deng recognized that sovereignty is a controversial issue which could not be solved; he thus proposed joint development. However, no state responded positively. For years, it was China's smaller neighbors, particularly Vietnam, who have occupied most of the islands, rocks and reefs, and reclaimed land in the process long before China did. China is not the initiator of facility construction or the one to "carry out militarization of outpost." China made a diplomatic mistake when it did not condemn such acts internationally; instead, China adopted its conventional "face" diplomacy when it made private requests to these states not to do so. It is thus to China's chagrin that when it did likewise, these smaller states attempted to solve the issue by "internationalizing" it.
The US has miscalculated its China strategy on several fronts. First, as a rising power with strong nationalism, China will resist US aggressiveness. While the Chinese public have issues with the Chinese Communist Party and its government over domestic affairs, they stand united behind the government over the South China Sea or any other issues relating to sovereignty and China's "core" national interests. No Chinese would want their Chinese leaders to "give up" China's interest in the South China Sea. Any leader who does so is putting the Party's legitimacy at risk. Simply put, no Chinese leader can afford to fully ignore nationalistic sentiments.
Second, for the Chinese, its government's action is justifiable as it is merely reacting to what other states have done. During Hu Jintao's reign, the government was blamed for not taking any effective measures to stop the activities of other states in the South China Sea. Xi Jinping's pro-active diplomacy, including the perceived "assertive" and "aggressive" action in the South China Sea, is strongly supported by its people.
Third and more importantly, China has the capacity to resist the US. China is now the number two economy in the world. Despite the recent economic slowdown, its growth rate continues to be one of highest in the world. China's total GDP will become larger than that of the US anytime soon. Although China's per capita GDP is still smaller than that of the US, but size matters. China's technological knowhow has reached a stage where breakthroughs are possible.
It benefits the US little with its interference; its intervention has only brought forth a lose-lose situation for all concerned. Historically, China and its small neighbors have co-existed peacefully for thousands of years. It was only when China was colonized by minorities from its north that it became expansionistic. The Chinese does not have a missionary culture and a missionary foreign policy. Its smaller neighbors were well aware of this. To a great degree, the "united front" adopted by the US and its allies over the South China Sea was because of the convergence of US imperial mission and its allies' maximization of their own national interest. The US is now in a catch 22 situation where it is unable to retreat. While there is national interest convergence between the US and these states in some areas, the maximization of national interests of these states is not necessarily in the interest of the US. For instance, the US and China have common interests in terms of their cooperation over international areas such as Iran and North Korea's nuclear proliferation and climate change. It is also in US interest to keep China in the currently US-led international system. It would be disastrous if China exits this system and forms its own like what the Soviet Union did during the Cold War.
While there is national interest convergence between the US and these states in some areas, the maximization of national interests of these states is not necessarily in the interest of the US.
The US also misjudged the support it would receive from China's neighbors. In the latest summit hosted by US President Barack Obama for ASEAN member states at the Sunnylands estate near Palm Springs, California, a joint statement was issued. The statement outlined principles to guide their cooperation in areas like promoting democracy and economic growth, respecting ASEAN centrality, fighting climate change, terrorism and violent extremism, and promoting people-to-people connectivity. Despite tensions in the South China Sea, the statement did not mention China or the SCS. Instead, it stressed principles such as a "rules-based regional and international order", "peaceful resolution of disputes," "freedom of navigation and overflight" and "non-militarization and self-restraint."
Vietnam's and the Philippines' quest for the US to deter China from taking further action in the South China Sea evidently did not resonate with those of other ASEAN member states. In reality, most ASEAN states want to maintain friendly relations with China for economic reasons and to continue to benefit from China's economic rise. They welcome US presence to balance a rising China, in the economic arena but not in the military realm.
Besides, China has adopted a diplomacy quite unlike that of the US. The US had sanctioned Cuba for half a century until recently. For China, despite the very hostile and confrontational political and diplomatic relations with the Philippines in recent years, it has not ceased trade and commercial relations with the country. Many Chinese believe that the worsening relationship with the Philippines is largely attributed to its pro-America president and ties could be normalized as soon as another president takes the helm. In the case of its relations with Vietnam, the two communist parties continue to maintain cordial relations, so have government to government relations. The latest leadership changes in Vietnam also show that pro-US leaders are losing their momentum, and Vietnam's relations with China is expected to be stable. These developments indicate that China and its small neighboring states are aware of the geopolitical necessity of peaceful co-existence.
On China's part, it continues to insist on a peaceful resolution to the South China Sea territorial disputes. Despite high pressure from the US, China has shown unwavering strength. US intervention in the South China Sea issue has cost it dearly in most dimensions. For China, what it needs is patience. It does not have an imperial mission. While it does not welcome the US's provocative military action, it does not have any intention to fight an aimless war with the US either. As one of the oldest civilizations in the world, it draws valuable lessons from its past: that the decline of a great power is not because of the challenges from another rising power, but because of its own misjudgment and miscalculation.

Looking out the window at piles of snow everywhere might not make you think summer vacation, but vacation planning season is here. In fact, now is THE time to plan your vacation and save! Here's how.
Use EBates to book your vacation and earn cash back
I've used EBates for quite a while now to save on everyday shopping and vacations. This FREE service is easy to use: create an account, log in to EBates before going to your favorite sites and then shop. They even offer a great little button you can add to your toolbar to help you remember. Every quarter, they send a "Big Fat Check" for all your rebates. Nothing to remember, there! They send an email letting you know it's coming and then mail the check. My last check was more than $70!
I use EBates for vacation savings by shopping their travel discount affiliates like Hotels.com, Expedia and National Car Rental for cash back on reservations, not just for everyday shopping. When that Big Fat Check arrives in the mail, I save the rebate for gas or dinner out on vacation.
This is the last day for EBates travel week with double cash back savings — a nice added bonus!
Use coupons to save in-store and online
Save the old fashioned way with grocery coupons clipped from the paper. Prefer the high tech method? Look at coupon savings like Target Cartwheel to save when shopping at specific stores. Then, tuck those savings away for vacation spending so you don't blow the budget later.
A new-comer to the coupon market is Frugaa which offers instant savings coupons from a variety of merchants and a money-saving market area which offers products at a discount. The travel page offers discounts from a variety of vacation providers including Southwest Vacations, Hilton, Ramada and others. I like the site for its easy navigation and uncluttered appearance, not to mention vacation savings! Unlike EBates, the savings are automatic. Frugaa rewards visitors with "points" using the site to redeem for gift cards of $10 to $50.
Redeem those points
My husband and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary later this year on a free cruise, courtesy of points we've racked up the past 4 years! Celebrating anything on a cruise ship makes me happy —- but celebrating for free? That's even better!
If you have a rewards credit card points or loyalty points collecting dust somewhere, use them to keep vacation costs down. I'm not a points expert, far from it, but the points guy is! He knows how to save money on lodging, travel, and car rentals. He also knows how to maximize those points — recommending the best cards for every user. One thing I do know is a free vacation is lots more fun to plan than a paid vacation!
Other money-savers
Kristl, at The Budget Diet, has lots of budget saving tips for everything. One of her best articles is "Cut Your Spending by $400 a Month!" Wouldn't that be nice?
My friend Christy, who writes at Christy's Cozy Corners, offers simple, budget-friendly recipes to make eating at home more fun! Check out the pull-apart bacon bread recipe! With easy, flavorful recipes like that, who needs to eat out?
Summer Vacation!
With all these money saving tips, it's time to plan that perfect summer vacation! Where can we find you this summer? The beach, the mountains, the big city… or somewhere else?

Magallania (Punta Arenas)
versión On-line ISSN 0718-2244
SOZA-AMIGO, SERGIO y AROCA, PATRICIO. Small, isolated and commodities dependent economies: the case of the oil and methanol in the county of Punta Arenas, Chile. Magallania [online]. 2011, vol.39, n.2, pp.113-135. ISSN 0718-2244. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-22442011000200009.
Punta Arenas is a county in the Chilean extreme south which economy is driven by the production of two commodities: oil and methanol. In this context, the main aim of this paper is to estimate the impact of these commodities on output, income and employment of the county, where the relative significance of the commodities production has been changing from oil to methanol. Using an input-output framework, we show that, the linkages and the impact of these commodities in this small and isolated economy in output and income. While in employment their linkages are large, the level of the employment on this industry is very low compare with the Punta Arenas total employees.
Palabras clave : Commodities; multipliers; elasticity; input-output and local development.

Not Your Typical Nursery
Our Story
I guess you could say that we refused to live a "normal" life. While Brittany was traveling the world and teaching abroad after college, planting temporary makeshift gardens in rooftop bathtubs or any suitable vessel she could find, Jared was busy at work on his own "art project" in the states - his 2-acre edible living food forest.
There are so many more ways to nourish and heal our bodies than we could ever imagine or have easy access to here in the U.S. That's why we founded Sow Exotic on Earth Day in 2016 - to cultivate and share the world's largest collection of fruiting, edible and medicinal plants from around the globe, all in one place.
Our mission was, and still is, to transform the traditional landscape to an edible, colorful, thriving oasis ripe with nutrition and endless possibility where something new is always in season and fresh food can be picked daily.
Why Edible Plants?
In a society where the large majority of people are conditioned to eating mostly processed foods, we believe part of the solution is encouraging our community to cook from scratch with fresh ingredients, many of which can be grown right at home.
Our 2-acre nursery, biointensive food forest, and certified wildlife habitat located in the heart of Florida, is an almost entirely edible landscape filled with all of the plants you see here and more, as well as a seasonal vegetable garden. All of our plants are grown naturally with zero chemical fertilizers and are completely GMO-free.
The Beginning
Driven by the goal to share our growing collection of rare fruiting and medicinal plants, we launched Sow Exotic online with just 25 different varieties, sown and grown in this little glass greenhouse.
But what started as an outlet for our gardening passion quickly grew into much more than just selling a few plants online.
Two Years Later
We quickly outgrew our humble glasshouse. Just two years later, Sow Exotic now proudly offers more than 200 unique varieties (and growing!) of edible and medicinal plants, as well as an expanding collection of gardening tools, fertilizers, and soil nutrients.
We specialize in growing hard-to-find exotic fruiting plants and rare medicinal herbs. Our collection is ever expanding and we'd love to hear from you about new plants we should be growing.
Plants & Products
Shop 1,000's of healthy plants lovingly and naturally grown at the Sow Exotic nursery. New to the family is a growing collection of gardening supplies and a new line of apparel for plant lovers!
Edible Landscaping
Sow Exotic specializes in helping homeowners, schools, cities and organizations create beautiful dynamic edible landscapes. Our Edible Landscaping services include Consultation, Design, Preparation, Installation, and Maintenance.
Workshops & Events
More than online plant shop. Join us for any of our local and regional events, from Succulent Buffets and activities to seasonal plant sales, and beyond. Drop us a line to suggest an event or presentation.

Windows Live Shopping Beta released today
Sorry for being so quiet for such a long time, but we've been hard at work to provide a great new release. Even thought it's only been a short time since our last release, today we have launched Windows Live Shopping. It's currently in beta right now and we're aware that there's some browser compatibility work to be done, but take a look and tell us what you think. I'm especially happy with the addition of the shopping list feature.
In addition, don't forget to also check out http://shoppingguides.live.com/. This is great new thing we also added today that works in conjuction with Windows Live Shopping. In the past, we've provided you with content, but we know some of you have more expertise in some areas and now's your time to show it. With shopping guides, you can write your own guides and share your shopping knowledge with the world.
That's it.... for now.... stay tuned for another release from the MSN Shopping team shortly.

Essential Oil Science & Chemistry Corner
Some of us are really curious about the chemistry of Essential Oils. I have so many questions in my head at times as my Aromatherapy Certification doesn't leave any details out. The reason I personally think it is important to understand the chemistry of our oils, is beyond the aroma only. I can't tell you how empowering it is, being able to help somebody by understanding my oils and to mix the right oils together for a therapeutic effect.
With the growth of Essential Oils in our regular lives, many of us start out with Essential Oils and might feel lost after a while. The options of mixing truly working blends is an art and it is chemistry.
Essential Oils are fascinating to me and for my own good I created the "Essential Oil Science & Chemistry Corner". For the real nerdy ones. It will be my reference guide and maybe you will find some use in it too. Let me know if you have anything to add or discuss. I'm happy to chat.
- Cedarwood – Juniperus virginiana
- Patchouli – Pogostemon cablin
- Sandalwood – Santalum album
- Vetiver – Vetiveria zizanoides
Properties of sesquiterpenol-rich oils:
- Antibacterial
- Antispasmodic
- Anti-inflammatory (all 4 oils)
- Cooling
- Grounding (all 4 oils)
- Immune stimulant
- Sedative (all 4 oils)
- Skin-healing (all 4 oils)
- None. They are safe oils.
And here is my recipe for sesquiterpenol-rich oils:
No matter where you get your oils from. If you would like to mix for therapeutic effects you will need to know and familiarize yourself with the suppliers GC/MS reports. They must provide you with the reports and preferable BEFORE you buy your oils. There is so many fake oils on the market and suppliers can label them as they'd like due to missing label guidelines.
For me it is very simple, if my supplier doesn't supply me with the GC/MS report, I will not buy from them. You do want to know what you spend your money on. Especially when they are supposed to be "therapeutic, pure, organic oils".
As always, Thank you for reading!
~ Katrin

Author(s): Kenneth Sandford
New Zealand's greatest war hero, Charles Upham, was one of the few people in history to have won the Victoria Cross twice.
In consultation with Upham, and with those who knew him, Kenneth Sandford has crafted a fine testament to his legenday exploits, his acumen as a soldier, and the classically understated Kiwi mannerisms that have for ever endeared him to all New Zealanders.
In 1957 Kenneth Sandford persuaded a reluctant Charles Upham to allow his unique and heroic story to be told.
Sandford, the author of two novels and a lawyer and father of three, took five years from 1957-1962 to complete the highly successful book which has been reprinted several times. First published 2003.
A part-time author, Kenneth Sandford was Crown Prosecutor in Hamilton for 22 years before moving to Wellington to become the first Chairman of the Accident Compensation Corporation in 1973, which established New Zealand's unique form of no-fault accident insurance. In 1981 he returned to the Law and was awarded the Companion of the Order fo St Michael and St George for public service. Kenneth died in 2005 aged 91.

Organising training can be a real pain! Having to make sure your all your staff are in the same room, at the same time, often means shutting down your operations completely. It is so much hassle for many businesses that they often let it slide, taking the risk of facing a closure order and being blacklisted on the FSAI website. There were 96 premises closed by the HSE in 2014. Is not being compliant really worth the risk?
We offer an Elearning solution that allows your staff to learn at a time and place that suits you. Our courses are available online 24/7, 365 days a year. You can order courses directly from our website, and begin learning straight away, or at a later date if you wish. Our courses are bookmarked so you don't have to take them in one sitting. If you need the leave the course it is not a problem, when you return you have the option of starting over, or commencing from where you left off. We do not offer a video based solution. Our courses are designed to be engaging and interactive which is shown to increase knowledge retention by up to 60%.
All our courses are fully certified and meet legal requirements and industry standards. Our lead instructional designed Matthias Kausch is a member of the International Association for Food Protection, as well as being a licensed EHOA trainer, and also a licensed trainer for the National Hygiene Partnership. He is also a published author on Food Safety. Matthias also studied psychology and learning theory, and how to help people learn better.
The Food Safety courses we currently offer are Food Safety level 1, HACCP Food Safety level 2 and Allergen Awareness. Our level 1 course should be taken before starting work in any food handling operation. Our Food Safety Level 2 course is our most comprehensive course containing 12 modules, and should be taken within 6 months of starting work in a food handling operation. This course would usually cost €150 and take two days to complete in a training centre. Our course is €90, with discounts available for multi-buys, and enables you to reach compliance in half the time, with half the hassle. Our Allergen Awareness course explains the dangers of the 14 key allergens, and what a business needs to do to comply with the new legislation regarding displaying allergen information, which came into effect a year ago.
All our courses contain modules which have a self assessment at the end of each. This assessment does not count towards the final exam but gives you an indication if you are ready to progress to the next module. At the end of every course there is a certification exam. The learner must gain a mark of at least 60% to pass. All the questions and answers are randomised, which makes cheating impossible!
In addition to this our courses are designed to help people learn better and in turn, be more productive. They are designed in line with the latest cognitive learning theory, where you give someone information, which they must then interact, and then verify what they have learned. It is scientifically proven if these 3 steps are used, it great enhances knowledge retention. We also deliver the information in bite sized chunks, and our courses allow the learner to progress at their own pace, rather than that of the fastest, or slowest learner in a classroom setting.

Sorry for the absence guys…morning sickness has been killing me, and, no offense, the blog was the last thing on my mind the last few days. I even had to cut it short yesterday (gasp!) for the first time. While I was able to keep up on the other managerial duties around Leucrota, the blog seemed to be always on "tomorrow's to-do list." So thanks, Casey, for putting up something in my absence.
Well I'm back and kicking, so expect something new up in the next day or so.

(A Flash Fiction Writing Session from The Safe House)
This session is called 'Elsie Ethel Court'.
If you read on, you'll soon see why. It could be an exciting session if you have a person you think about a lot and if you'd like to create something in writing to express your thoughts about that person.
I suppose the first task is to find a person to write about.
Alive? Dead? Family member? Friend? Famous? Not famous? It doesn't even have to be a person you like …
All you do is write a short piece about a person who is important to you.
The 'stimulus' to this session is a photograph (see above) and a short piece of text. The text is under 250 words, it took about 10 minutes to write + 5 minutes proof reading / editing time. It was done using random thoughts and a sort of 'stream of consciousness' method.
Born in 1900
She was born in 1900. Amazing in itself. She's dead now, of course, but I remember her every day. I called her 'nana'. She came on a Friday with Old Jamaica chocolate and a comic. I went to her house often and did weeding and decorating. She lived in Leicester. She went to London only once, in 1927, for her honeymoon. She didn't like it and never went back. She spent summer holidays on the east coast. 2 weeks a year. She worked in a factory opposite Abbey Park. She used to see Engelbert Humperdink come and pick his girlfriend up from work. She took me to the park often. It was there that we met Walter, the swan that was afraid of water. She knew the park keeper and we chatted with him.
Someone once said she thought the whole world was out to get her. And, I suppose, she had a sort of nervous outlook. We used to watch a bit of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd on the telly. There was a programme that showed clips that she liked. We used to watch it together. "He's like a fart in a colander," "You'll never have any money as long as you've got a hole in your arse," "Flazing dog!" These were the things I remember her saying. She was short, very old. She always seemed old to me. But I always remember her. She was kind, generous and wise.
This isn't really fiction. Is it memoir? Is it biography? I don't know, but it is a piece about a person who is important to the author. It has two paragraphs. You could choose to follow this 'model' with fairly short sentences on random topics or you could write about a person who is important to you in a different genre. A poem, a story?
Use an image of the person to help you think of what to write. Think about:
- Facts about the person's life
- Opinions about the person – your own or other people's
- The work, hobbies, interests the person has or had
- How you are connected to the person
- Things the person says or said
- The person's habits and personality traits.
Word count and process
- Aim to take around 5 minutes thinking about the person then about 10 minutes writing a first draft. If you're following the 'random' or 'stream of consciousness' method, you should just keep writing whatever comes into your head for the full 10 minutes, pausing as little as possible. Don't worry, you can edit it later.
- When that's done, you should spend enough time proof-reading for possible spelling, punctuation and grammar problems and maybe a quick edit for meaning so that you are happy for other people to read it.
- If you spend 5 minutes doing that, you should have been creating and writing for about 20 minutes in total.
- Leave it for about half an hour and then come back for another go.
A minimum of 25 words and a maximum of 250 would be fine. Of course, this is a real person you're writing about so you could probably pretty much go on for ever and ever, but:
"Be careful. Don't forget to eat!"
What next?
If you feel like it, or if you want some ideas about how you can develop what you have written, you could share it by sending it to The Safe House at:
Here at The Safe House we will give you feedback to support you in what you are creating!

European Conference on Information Literacy, held in Dubrovnik. Liga Krumina (University of Latvia) talked on Towards adult information literacy assessment in Latvia: UNESCO media and information literacy competency matrix in practice.
They had a product to develop diagnostic instruments for assessment of adults' (25-62 years) knowledge and skills. The participants were a purposive sample of the economically active population in a region of Latvia. The researchers were using the concept of "livelihood" involving resources such as knowledge, land, tools that can be shared. They were adopting a UNESCO definition of media and information literacy (MIL) as given in the UNESCO MIL assessment document. This document idetifies three levels of MIL, plus a "zero" level. Data was collected through focus groups, questionnaires and practical information tasks.
In the focus groups researchers asked about the importance of information in the participants everyday lives, problems encountered, and knowledge and skills with information. The knowledge questionnaire contained 23 questions based on everyday life situations (with questions concerning access, evaluation and creation). The practical tasks involved asking participants to undertake search tasks and using think-aloud protocolls to collect data.
In the focus group, a key problem that emerged was language skill (i.e. if there was no information in Latvian), and also skills in interacting with computers, software and search engines. In the questionnaire, the average level of respondents was level 2, in evaluation it was level 3, and in creation in was levels zero/one. The speaker noted that although participants self-rated their skills as good, "the results of practical tasks showed many shortcomings".
The speaker concluded that the four levels of competence were useful as they helped to identify where areas for improvement were. The think-aloud method was time-consuming but the results were "credible and accurate" and thus that aspect was valuable.
In the questions afterwards, the speaker said the biggest problem was with the questionnaire where there could be several valid answers to some practical questions (e.g. if you found a recipe for soup on the internet, how can you best save it while you make the soup). They are developing this further.

I had a great morning today as I was helping Michael to fit a huge window into the side of his hokkie.
It turned into a much bigger job than we thought, involving lots of cutting and banging as we got the hole for the window just right but eventually we got it into place.
Michael is really chuffed as it's a huge step towards getting his hokkie finished and he really needs the extra space as he & Joyce having just taken in a young mum with her daughter. He really does make me so proud!

The big tease behind Apollo 18 continues with a new clip that's tricked out to look like found footage of a secret NASA mission to the moon. As grainy video of the alleged 1974 lunar landing plays out onscreen, a voice intones, "Discover what you were never meant to see."
To build buzz for its sci-fi drama, filmmakers have also been releasing heavily redacted documents on the movie's website.
Apollo 18, directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego and produced by Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), opens Sept. 2.

here it is anyway. This photo was supposed to be for my photo group topic this week: minimalism. But I'm not submitting it there, at least not yet. I don't think it exactly hits the mark for one thing. And given the terrain around here minimalist photography is something I think I could pull off. I think this photo would be a dime-a-dozen photo in Olympia anyway. Here in the central valley, on the otherhand, puddles and clouds are not that common. This scene made me very happy. And very homesick!

Healthy competition is meant to be the cornerstone of the U.S. economy, but the telecom industry has not only never embraced that mentality, it has apparently gone one step further by successfully lobbying to reduce competition through restrictions and outright bans.
According to a new report by comparison site Broadbandnow, 26 states have implemented laws that prohibit or severely limit community broadband projects.
The report sets out a state-by-state investigation into what limitations have made their way from lobbyists pens to the law books and the picture is pretty bleak. According to the report, "over $92 million was spent in 2018 alone to protect business interests at the national and state level."
Six states have "direct sale prohibitions on municipal broadband" – Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. For the other 20 states identified, the limitations range from 'bureaucratic barriers' and 'prohibitive referendum requirements' to population caps and excessive taxes.
Whatever your view on the ongoing debate around net neutrality, the major concern for many people has been a lack of trust in big telecom and the criticism that these companies abuse their monopolistic positions in order to maximize profits.
It's not all bad news however, as the report does set out some efforts by federal and state lawmakers to keep telecom markets competitive, such as a bill put forward by Democrats that aimed to prohibit the kinds of regulations that kill municipal and community projects. While the Community Broadband Act of 2018 was ultimately unsuccessful, it's at least a sign that this is an issue that Congress is aware of.

The overall purpose of BR+E program is to assist North Grenville's existing business community. To do this, the project partners have asked local community leaders to volunteer and visit 85 businesses with a survey to gather information about their needs, concerns and opinions of the Municipality as a place to do business.
"Existing businesses are the best sources of growth and we want to find out how we can help them grow in our community. We have an excellent team in place to work on survey and expect excellent results," says Kevin O'Dair, Coordinator of the project.
For more information about the BR+E project and the Volunteer Visitor role, the Municipality is hosting the training session for all volunteers at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Wednesday, February 1st at 6:00 pm.

- Give the child a basket to carry a stuffed animal or baby just like Moses was placed in a basket.
• Character Scriptures, Poems, Taking Care of Me, and Sign Language: Because the suggested activities rarely change in these four objectives, they will only be listed in the "Objectives" and not in the "Suggested Activities" portion of the Lesson Plan unless additional information is needed. Continue as suggested.
• Color Activities:
Color Train - Add a Brown Train to the Color Train by having the child color, with a jumbo crayon, the brown train. Display the train at the child's level to point and discuss the colors.

- Each week you will be asked to find specific objects in books. When you begin reading, ask the child to point to the image and then take her hand, point, and say the name of the object. When the child is ready, allow her to find and point to the object unassisted. This week point to all of the bears.
- Point out all items that are brown.
• Fine Motor Skill:
Sorting Toy - As you play with the sorting toy, talk about the different colors and shapes.

Security Guard Insurance
Security guard insurance can provide important protection for your client's employees, special events, and building facilities. Under most policies, they are considered to be an integral part of your company's security plan. Coverage and liability depend on how the guards are used by the client. In addition to standard coverage, CIA looks into special situations for the client and builds a policy to cover unforeseen circumstances. We make every effort to provide comprehensive coverage so your company is protected from lawsuits and financial loss. There are several important decisions to be made when obtaining liability insurance for your security guard company. How long is the service contract? What are the daily routines and responsibilities to be assigned to the security force? Will guards wear uniforms or plainclothes? Will they be armed or unarmed? What security level does your client want from your company?
Long term guards need to be treated as part of your overall security team. Hiring for this purpose means that your client has complex security needs and requires your presence every day. CIA works carefully with your security company to write and to review professional liability insurance policies. We believe that if we think ahead and write a detailed policy to cover your security guards at the job site, then your employees will be able to do their job knowing that they are protected from lawsuits and other claims against them. It is important that the policy be written as clearly and completely as possible so your security company follows the job description to the letter. By complying with the security requirements of the client, your company will be protected against lawsuits.
Uniformed security guards are there for deterrence and they have specific responsibilities at client sites. If they follow their job description as stated in the contract, then the coverage that is in place will protect them and your security company from lawsuits and financial damages. Other types of liability coverage will depend on whether the security guards are armed or unarmed. It should be obvious that professional liability insurance for armed guards will be more costly than unarmed guards because of the risk of deadly force brought to the job site. Insurance for unarmed guards is less because there are fewer liability issues. Whatever role the security guard takes at the job site, it is imperative that the guard follow the exact wording in the hiring contract. Our focus, at Central Insurance Agency (CIA), is to protect your company from being liable if the guards are in compliance with the contract. If they stick to the wording in the contract, CIA is committed to insuring your security company from any liability issues.
In summary, security guard insurance is essential when sending guards to job sites. Each situation is different and our company can write the best policy to insure your guards against any charges that are brought against them. In each situation, we work tirelessly, to provide the lowest price and the most complete coverage. We are able to do this because we know the industry better than any of our competitors. Right from the start, we are able to position ourselves in the marketplace to give you the best buy in professional liability insurance. CIA is proud of its stellar record in the industry which enables us to get referrals and to increase our client base. Our strength is our ability to write "ironclad" contracts that are the best in the business. By working for your interests, we are able to fortify our business so that it continues to prosper in the future. It is our pleasure to serve you.

When it comes to supporting public education and investing in opportunities for students in K-12 schools, most of the U.S. gets a failing grade.
The Network for Public Education (NPE), a reform group co-founded by education advocate Diane Ravitch, on Tuesday issued its annual "state report card," analyzing states on six criteria: resistance to privatization, the professionalization of teaching, school finance, allocation of taxpayer resources, reliance on high-stakes testing, and the chance for academic success.
The analysis, Valuing Public Education: A 50 State Report Card (pdf), explains its methodology:
We evaluated states on six criteria aligned with our values. Laws, policies and practices that impact these criteria were rated. We also considered the measurable effects those laws and policies have on schools. For example, although there are no longer laws that allow racial segregation, a state's housing and school choice laws affect the student demographics of schools.
[....] The average of the six letter grades was then used to create a GPA, which was converted into an overall state letter grade. As a matter of principle, NPE does not believe in assigning a single letter grade for evaluation purposes. We are opposed to such simplistic methods when used, for example, to evaluate schools. In this case, our letter grades carry no stakes. No state will be rewarded or punished as a result of our judgment about their support or lack of support for public education. We assign the grade, and provide the sources from which it is derived, to alert the public about whether their state is acting as a responsible guardian of its public schools.
With all factors measured, no state scored higher than a C, with eight receiving F's and the large majority of the country getting D's. On an individual basis, some states did well—New Jersey got an A for its financial support of public schools, while Montana, Nebraska, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, and the Dakotas got As for resisting privatization—but even those states earned low or failing grades in other categories.
"Our hope is that this report card will steer us away from policies that undermine our public schools and toward policies that will make our public schools better for all children," the analysis states in its introduction. "If we are willing to invest time and money guided by the right values, we will see steady progress for our public schools and our nation's children."
As teacher and education writer Peter Greene explained in a blog post Tuesday, "The report is handy for comparison, and for a depressingly clear picture of which states are beating up public education badly.... It's not a pretty picture, but understanding where we are will help us develop more ideas about how to get where we need to be."

In these heady days of flower-related sightings, blossom buffs are staying focused on a few key points before setting out to find the petals they seek.
One? A detailed map, one that pinpoints the location of a sudden blanket of wildflowers, is a plus. And two? When it comes to photographs shared on social media, the kind of photographs that inspire a day trip, flower finders want to know one thing in particular: The exact date on the snapshot.
Because flowers, whether wild or cultivated, don't hang around for long, and if a photo was taken two weeks back, the pretty petals in the frame may have since vamoosed.
The Scene
What to do, where to go and what to see
So check out the dates on the most recent photographs shared by The Flower Fields in Carlsbad. Nope, these are not wildflowers, but carefully tended ranunculus buds, and there is an admission to enter the attraction should you wish to get closer to all of that saturated color.
It's saturated color, though, that's much sought after by many springtime lovers around Southern California. And the newest photos, which are dated Saturday, March 25, are bound to please people who've been waiting for the flowers to start hitting peak blossom.
Certainly many of the ranunculi seen in the March 25 snaps are doing just that. The Facebook post also includes a promise that "(i)t's only going to be better tomorrow!" as far as the bloom goes, meaning Sunday, March 26 will draw oodles of devotees who long to see the once-a-year sight.
There are a few photos up on Facebook showing the splendid petal action in Carlsbad, so eye all and decide if this is your year, and your moment, to commune with the famous Carlsbad ranunculi.
It needn't be said, but we'll say it: You'll want your camera nearby if you go.
The Flower Fields are open daily through Mother's Day 2017, which is on Sunday, May 14.
