Julie Payette
Julie Payette, OC, CQ, astronaut, engineer, jet pilot, musician (born 20 October 1963 in Montréal, QC). Payette participated in two space flights to the International Space Station, STS-96 (1999) and STS-127 (2009), and served as the chief astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency from 2000 to 2007. In 1999, she became the first Canadian to board the International Space Station. An accomplished scientific authority, musician and athlete, Payette is a board member of Own the Podium and a member of the Canadian Olympic Committee's board of directors. In July 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Payette will become Canada's 29th governor general, succeeding David Johnston. Payette will officially become Governor General on 2 October 2017.
Childhood and Education
Julie Payette grew up in the suburb of Ahuntsic in the north end of Montréal, Québec. Her mother, Jacqueline, worked as a theatre accountant and her father, André, was an engineer. Payette's parents encouraged her ambition, curiosity and determination. Fascinated by space from an early age, Payette attended the Collège Regina Assumpta in Montréal.
Payette earned one of six Canadian scholarships to attend the United World College of the Atlantic in South Wales, United Kingdom. After receiving her International Baccalaureate in 1982, she won a prestigious scholarship to McGill University (Montréal) where she earned a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering (1986). She later received a Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto (1990).
Early Career
Through her graduate work and her early career with IBM and Bell-Northern Research, Payette gained experience in computer research activities, particularly in natural language processing, automatic speech recognition and the application of interactive technologies in space. From 1986 to 1988, Julie Payette worked as an engineer at IBM Canada. From 1988 to 1990, while studying at the University of Toronto, she was a research assistant for a project on high performance computer architecture. In 1991, she was a visiting scientist at IBM's Communications and Computer Science Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland. On returning to Canada in January 1992, Payette joined the Speech Research group at Bell-Northern Research in Montréal.
In June 1992, Payette was selected from 5,330 applicants as one of four astronauts by the Canadian Space Agency. She received rigorous basic training in Canada, and then worked as technical advisor for the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) on the robotic system that made up Canada's contribution to the International Space Station. She founded the Human Computer Interaction Group and was a technical specialist for the International Research Studies Group (RSG-10) on speech recognition for NATO (1993 to 1996). Between 1995 and 1998, she also sat on the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
In preparation for space travel, Payette studied Russian and underwent more than 120 flight hours in reduced gravity on various parabolic aircrafts (KC-135, T-33, Falcon-20, DC-9). In February 1996, she qualified as a military jet captain at the Canadian Air Force Base in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on the CT-114 Tutor "Snowbird" jet aircraft. Payette has logged more than 1,300 flight hours in total. In April 1996, in Vancouver, she completed deep-water scuba training in a pressurized hard suit and was certified as an operator.
In August 1996, Payette began initial astronaut training at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. She became a NASA mission specialist in April 1998, and was appointed to a technical project in the robotic division of the Astronaut Office..
Space Flight STS-96
From 27 May to 6 June 1999, Payette took part in the 10-day STS-96 mission on board the Space Shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station (ISS), becoming the first Canadian to board the ISS and to take part in an important assembly mission for the station. The crew of seven international astronauts delivered four tons of supplies to the ISS, including computers, sanitary supplies, medical supplies, and external equipment such as cranes and construction tools. Payette's responsibilities on the mission included operating the Canadarm robotic arm, testing its Space Vision System and supervising two space walks.
Chief Astronaut, Canadian Space Agency
From 2000 to 2007, Payette was chief astronaut of the Canadian Space Agency. During this time, Payette worked as a capsule communicator (CAPCOM) at Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, where she supervised the communications between ground controllers and astronauts in flight. She acted as lead CAPCOM for space shuttle mission STS-121 (2006).
Space Flight STS-127
From 15 July to 31 July 2009, Payette participated in a 16-day space mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. On this 29th shuttle mission to the International Space Station, Payette assumed the roles of flight engineer and mission specialist 2. The seven-person crew finished construction of the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module, and delivered spare parts and replacement batteries. They also set up scientific experiments, including an investigation into the effects of blood pressure and fainting in space and on earth, and an investigation into the diffusion of liquids. The crew also delivered the last pair of power-generating solar array wings and the S6 truss segment to the ISS, which prepared the station to house crews for future scientific experiments. On this mission, Payette operated three robotic arms — the Canadarm, Canadarm2 and a Japanese arm on Kibo — to help her fellow astronauts on five challenging spacewalks.
During this mission, Payette also met Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk, who had previously arrived at the ISS in May 2009 on a Russian Soyuz space capsule for a long-duration mission. It was the first meeting of Canadian astronauts in space. A record 13 astronauts from five different countries were united at the ISS. With two missions under her belt, Payette had logged over 611 hours and over 16 million kilometres in space.
Career Since 2010
Celebrated for her talent, enthusiasm and determination, Payette carried the Olympic flag during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, and has since become a board member of Own the Podium, Canada's Olympic High Performance Program.
Payette accepted a fellowship as a Public Policy Scholar in 2011 at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars (Washington, DC). Representing Québec's Department of Economic Development, Innovation and Export trade, she became the scientific authority for Québec in Washington. In 2013, she retired from the Canadian Space Agency. From 2013 to 2016, she was chief operating officer for the Montréal Science Centre and vice president of the Canada Lands Company. In 2014, she became a member of the board of directors of the National Bank of Canada. In 2016, she was appointed a member of the board of directors of the Canadian Olympic Committee.
Payette holds many prestigious memberships, including Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec and the International Academy of Astronautics. She has received honorary degrees from 18 different Canadian universities.
Other Interests
A talented athlete and musician, Payette is skilled in racquet sports, skiing, running and scuba diving. She speaks six languages and is an accomplished flutist, pianist and singer, who sang with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and Tafelmusik Chamber Choir in Toronto.
Governor General Appointment & Controversy
In July 2017, Payette was appointed Canada's 29th Governor General, succeeding David Johnston. After the announcement on 13 July, the Canadian media began investigating the famously private Payette's personal life. Information soon surfaced on Canadian news source iPolitics that Payette had been charged with second-degree assault in November 2011. The charge had been withdrawn two weeks after and then expunged from official police records.
Media sources also took interest in her lengthy divorce proceedings with test pilot Billie Flynn, which took place in Maryland. The legal case finally ended in June 2017, just before the Governor General announcement was made. The divorce files revealed that Flynn was the alleged victim of the 2011 assault charge. Payette maintained her innocence and requested privacy on the matter. However, it was not long before Toronto media sources reported another incident: in July 2011, Payette had been the driver in a car accident that killed 55 year-old pedestrian Theresa Potts. After an eight-month investigation in 2011, police confirmed that the death was accidental, since Potts had medical issues, including poor eyesight, and had stepped in front of Payette's car. Payette was deeply affected by her role in the accident.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remained silent following the media reports, maintaining that a thorough vetting process had ensured Payette's suitability for the position of Governor General. In August 2017, Payette appealed to have the divorce files removed from the public record in order to protect her family's privacy. However, a group of Canadian media sources that included the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CBC, CTV, Postmedia and iPolitics defended the public's right to know and hired a lawyer to challenge Payette's request. After public controversy about political transparency and the vetting process for the role of Governor General, Payette withdrew her appeal on 21 August 2017, stating that "for reasons of transparency and to leave no doubt, I have decided to voluntarily drop this appeal and release the divorce files." She expressed faith in the media's ability to distinguish between public and private matters. The divorce proceedings were returned to the public record and revealed a fairly civil divorce between Payette and Flynn.
On 20 September 2017, Payette met with Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle. On 2 October 2017, Payette will officially become Canada's 29th Governor General.

Do you want to help ensure that families in your community have access to nutritious food? The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is the first line of defense against hunger. It enables eligible households to pay for groceries—literally putting food on the table for more millions of Americans.
Right now, there are more than 800,000 people in Colorado at risk of hunger—from children to seniors. Unfortunately, only 48% of eligible Coloradans receive SNAP benefits, meaning thousands are struggling without the support of this public health, nutrition program.
Hunger Free Colorado was launched in 2009 to ensure that every Coloradan has access to adequate, nutritious food. As part of our work, we provide training, tools and support to community partners in order to make SNAP more accessible to individuals and families.
You can help fight hunger as a partner, volunteer and ambassador.
We want community groups to join us in our efforts through our new SNAP Outreach initiative. By adding SNAP Outreach as a service, organizations not only will assist current clients but also be able to support additional people in need.
Hunger Free Colorado can offer free assistance with:
- Conducting SNAP application assistance on-site at your location
We send staff members to community-based organizations—food pantries, congregate meal sites, community centers, senior housing, grocery stores and other locations—and help people sign up for SNAP using Colorado's online application, the Program Eligibility Application Kit (PEAK).
- Training your staff or volunteers to provide on-site SNAP application assistance
Through this new training program, we equip staff members and volunteers of community-based organizations—like yours—with the tools and information needed to conduct SNAP application assistance on-site. The comprehensive training will prepare your staff or volunteers to assist clients through the application process and answer questions about several public assistance programs.
- Adding your agency to our resource list for the Hunger Free Hotline
Your organization can be a resource for people at risk of or experiencing hunger. The Hunger Free Hotline is a free, multilingual "one-stop" resource that offers geographically-based referrals to both public and private food assistance programs throughout the state. All calls are kept confidential.
We hope that you will consider becoming involved as well as sharing this information with your networks. Together, we can help those facing the reality of hunger.
To find out more about SNAP Outreach, please contact Amanda Garrad, Food Assistance Program Manager for Hunger Free Colorado, at email@example.com or call (303) 228-7959.

Merchant Financing by American ExpressMarch 29, 2013 | By: Sean Murray
I always wondered if the billion dollar conglomerates would market merchant cash advance / merchant financing differently than all of the small funders that started from the ground up many years ago.
This looks like every ad we've seen for MCA for the last 7 years. I guess the simplest explanation is the best one…
Note: American Express deleted the video we originally embedded here. They've replaced it with another youtube video that we've embedded above on 10/4/13
Sean Murray is the founder of deBanked, an 11-year veteran of the merchant cash advance industry, a casual Lending Club and Prosper note investor, the co-founder of Daily Funder, an alternative lending speaker, consultant, writer, and enthusiast.

Thematic Statement
Our thematic statement is, "Sometimes you have to sacrifice things to make others happy."
Real Life connection
One of our group member's friend wanted to go on the Washington D.C. trip last year. so her dad sold his boat to pay for the trip but in the end she ended up not going on the trip. Now her dad has no reason as to why he sold his boat.
The setting of this story is mostly
taken place in their home in the
early 1900's.
The conflict in this story is Della
wants to get her husband,Jim, a
gift for Christmas. But she does
have enough money,so she sells
her hair.
The theme we chose for this story is that sometimes to make others happy you must sacrifice your own happiness.
Point of View
The point of view we chose for this story is
3rd person limited because the narrator only really tells
the feelings of Della.
In the story there is a flashback
when Della had seen the comb in the store window.
Dramatic Irony
The dramatic irony in this story is that we know that Della sold her hair for money to buy Jim a gift for Christmas, but Jim does not know this until he comes home.
Situational Irony
The situational irony in this story is that Della thinks that Jim is going to be upset that she cut her hair off but in reality he is very in shock but tells her she looks beautiful.
Dynamic Character
The dynamic character in this story is Della because she cuts off her hair because she needed money to buy Jim a present.
For example Della sells her hair for money
to buy a gift but in the end the
one thing that she received as a gift just stood
as an example of what she had to sacrifice.
The mood in this story is
regret because Jim was kinda
regretful for Della selling her hair
because now Della will not be able to
comb her long hair with her new comb.
The atmosphere this story sets off is appreciative because Della appreciates the fact that Jim bought her combs. Jim is also appreciating the fact that Della bought him a watch chain.
The hyperbole in this story would be
the fact that she over exaggerated
the fact that she cut off all of her hair
and was overly worried about Jim's
From the text we can infer that Della's
hair is now very short, because of how she was
Della needed money to buy Jim a present. So, she sells her hair
to get him a watch chain. Jim sells his watch to buy her a set of combs that she has been longing for. In the end, they both put away their presents and start to cook their dinner.
external conflict
External Conflict means
a problem the character
has with something else. The
external conflict is character
vs. character.

The Billy Madison Show - Mornings from 6 - 9
The Billy Madison show is made up of Derek, Nard and ringmaster Billy who leads the whole troop. The guys constantly rip on each other. One of Billy's favorite bits is busting "Deadbeat Dads" on the air after luring them on the phone under the guise of winning a prize. The ex-wife, girlfriend, or (simply the mother of the child) is on the call as well and once Billy asks, "Why don't you pay your child support?" the mother confronts the "Dead Beat Dad" and then it gets real.

Kim Monroe - Middays from 9 - 2
Kim Monroe ("Mon" like you're from Jamaica and "roe" like a boat.) But you know that, just like you know all the lyrics to Stairway To Heaven. Kim's not new to the PNW. She spent the golden age of grunge here on Seattle radio introducing you to bands like Nirvana, Incubus and Soundgarden. Welcome this Rock chick back by listening 10a-2p. She'll remind you that you listen to the radio for badass music. She'll cheer for the Hawks when they're not playing her hometown, Cleveland. And she'll do it all while rocking lust-worthy shoes and some kitten eared headphones.
Jeetz - Afternoons from 2 - 7
This is Jeetz. He's a soulless ginger. He makes radio. Tacoma born and raised, Jeetz has been rocking the PNW the majority of his life. When not behind a mic, Jeetz is the self-proclaimed "King of Happy Hour." His three favorite inventions are beer, nachos, and chicken wings. This ginger is also a diehard Seattle sports fan and screams at his TV often. Nothing about Jeetz is Thug-Life, but he is 100% Pug-Life. He likes pugs. He has two. Their names are Frank The Dog and Black Jack. Jeetz likes ROCK music. Jeetz plays ROCK music every week day from 2-7pm on The New Rock 98.9. If you've read this far, you and Jeetz are now best friends.
Ryder - Evenings from 7 - Midnight
Ryder is a huge nerd, with an arm full of Batman tattoos and an opinion on every comic book. A true Washington native he grew up with a chainsaw in his young hands while working for his Dad's tree service. He is not that rugged. Now he gets to chase his passion for music as a Rock Radio DJ weeknights from 7 to 12 on Seattle's New, Rock 98.9.

What makes the American West different? My guess is the length of time it's been subject to dense human settlement and the serendipitous arrival of those settlers when fuel sources other than wood were just becoming available.
There are at least a few parts of the world that have similar climate patterns and vegetation, though the very size of the ecosystem in Western North America insures that there won't be many worldwide. The mountain blocks that divide wet from dry, or at the very least semi-arid from arid, stretch from British Columbia down through much of Mexico with only a few gaps in between. The coast mountains of BC, the Cascade mountains in the Northwestern United States, the Sierra Nevada down through California extending southward to the coastal ranges of California, and the massive Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico all cut the interior off from Pacific storm systems that might otherwise provide moisture to the drylands. At it's widest extent, crest to crest from Mt. Whitney to the Front Range in Colorado, the dry gap is easily 900 miles across while north to south, it encompasses a few thousand miles at the very least
To get an idea of how extensive it is, we can use a proxy. Ponderosa Pine is just such a stand-in. It's a species that conveniently fringes the dry interior of the western continent, separating the xeric domain from the wetter ecosystems that lead up to the adjacent high country, if any.
As befits good tree-people, the U. S. Forest Service, in the person of E. L. Little, Jr, lovingly built up an atlas of maps showing the geographic range of all the species in the United States. That was in the 1970's. I picked up my copy of Volume I years ago at a yard sale. The cover was a bit charred from fire, appropriately enough. Otherwise the volume was completely intact and in very good condition including the delicate transparent overlays threaded through with solid isopleths for rainfall, temperature, and other important environmental variables. These overlays chart the chromosomal DNA for our North American landscapes! The range maps in their entirety have been digitized and are available on the Internet courtesy of the USGS at the above link. If you care about such things it's easy to lose yourself at the site for hours.
Climate diagrams are a great way to draw a bead on similar climatic patterns. These patterns largely determine the ecophysiology of a place and the kind of vegetation that can grow there. Places with comparable climate often host similar plant communities, communities that have developed on convergent evolutionary pathways. The look of these communities can be startling in their visual coincidence, even when those communities are composed of different genera. For example, the Ethiopian desert hosts a community with euphorbia, aloe, and acacia that looks for all the world like Sonoran Arizona, with its cactus, yucca, and mesquite.

I first experienced this dish (yes, this dish is an experience, it's that good!) while in Tuscany.
If you're not familiar with the Italian countryside in November, it can be quite chilly and often rainy. That might sound like an unfortunate trip to some folks. Though not to us. We prefer Italy after the tourists have departed, even if the weather is cooler, so we can live and eat and cook like a local.
On this particular trip, the sun had been lost for days and there was a constant cold drizzle. The residents in Camucia, where we stayed for two weeks, hardly spoke English. I loved that. With them, I spoke my best Italian, and for a short while, I felt like I was Tuscan, too.
During siesta, we took to the ancient walled hill-top villages of Lucignano and Cortona. For three hours the towns existed just for us. The piazzas were desolate and silent. We had the cobblestone and narrowly arched streets all to ourselves. Only the faint clattering of dishes and silverware could be heard from the medieval apartments above us. The intoxicating aromas from different kitchens wafted down to the street by the bluster of wind that was otherwise perfumed with the chimney smoke that hung heavy in the air.
In Tuscany, even the air is delicious.
It was on our drive one day to escape the rain that we came upon a small osteria outside Chianti. I'm still not entirely sure that it was open. However, we were politely ushered in. We exchanged pleasantries in Italian and were given the house wine. There was no menu. The old woman who greeted us might have also been the cook, I'm not sure. She returned with two plates of the most gorgeous colored spaghetti I had ever seen.
It was the most luxurious pasta I've ever had. I thought for sure I must have died and heaven was an osteria, where Jesus turned pasta water into wine, and my angel was an Italian nonna.
The pasta was cooked in red wine until it absorbed the scent, the undertones, and the glorious purple-red color. The alcohol cooked out and a slight sweetness remained. There was a buttery shimmer to the pasta and it was mixed with sausage, I think. Or maybe it was cinghiale (wild boar)? I'll never know. I've not been able to replicate the dish in quite the same way since I experienced it that day outside of Chianti.
In recent years I have seen American recipes that have called it Spaghetti All'Ubriaco, or drunken spaghetti. This recipe from the New York Times is the closest I've been able to come to recreating that fable-like dish.
The spaghetti cooks briefly in a pot of salted water, just briefly, until it begins to bend. Then, it is submerged in a bath of red wine where it absorbs the color and flavor and where some kind of pasta magic happens.
Don't splurge on an expensive bottle of wine for this. Also, don't use a wine that you don't particularly care for either – the flavor of the wine you choose is the star of this dish. A $20 bottle of your favorite type of red will do. Be sure to have plenty of wine on hand for your glass, too (But, you already knew that!).
I made this with a handful of seasonal swiss chard amidst the undulating tuscan-like hills of west New Jersey, sans the villas and siestas, and where the only Italians around me are my relatives. But, if I turn up my Andrea Bocelli playlist, uncork a Chianti Classico, I'm back in heaven's osteria….
You can make this spaghetti by adding seasonal greens, Italian sausage, or chorizo. I've previously made this by adding tomato paste to the skillet which also made for an amazingly delicious combination with the wine, too. The possibilities are plenty.
This is a dish that will certainly impress your guests, and it takes about the same time to make as usual spaghetti. How great is that?! Buon Appetito!

If you made this recipe, leave me a comment below. I'd love to hear from you! Don't forget to tag a photo for me to see @chasingtheseasons on Instagram. I always love to see your creations!
Spaghetti All'Ubriaco (Drunken Spaghetti)
Serves 4
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (tip: Use the fine side of a grater)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound spaghetti
1 bottle red wine, like Chianti Classico
1 tablespoon butter
Handful of Swiss Chard, center stems discarded and leaves chopped
You'll need a stockpot and a large, deep skillet. We'll be working with both at the same time.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a deep skillet, add oil, garlic and red pepper flakes;
- Salt the pot of water when it comes to a boil and add spaghetti. Turn the heat to high under the skillet;
- Cook pasta, stirring occasionally. As soon as garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, add the swiss chard and saute;
- When the garlic begins to turn a golden brown, season with salt and pepper, use tongs to remove the chard and set the chard aside.
- Remove the skillet from the flame and add a little more than 2 cups of wine; return to flame and let the wine come to a boil;
- Just as the pasta begins to bend — about 5 minutes or so of cooking — drain it and add it to the wine mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, adding more wine, a little at a time, as the mixture appears to dry out (like what you would do with broth/wine if making a risotto);
- Taste pasta. When it is perfectly al dente (tender, but with a slight bite) — add the butter and turn off the heat. When the butter creates a silky glaze over the pasta, toss in the swiss chard, serve immediately.
Recipe tips!
Make this spaghetti by adding seasonal greens, sausage, or chorizo. I've also added tomato paste to the skillet and that made for an amazingly delicious combination with the wine too. The possibilities are plenty.

I told my husband this year that I would make him anything he wanted for breakfast on Christmas morning. We both really like scones, so he asked for chocolate and peppermint scones. I admit, this didn't sound all that appealing to me at the start, but I took on the challenge and I was very happy with the results.
I started with a chocolate buttermilk scone base. To add in some peppermint, but not so much as to make it a weird breakfast taste, I sprinkled the top of the scones with crushed candy canes instead of my usual coarse sugar. The results were definitely repeatable. The buttermilk chocolate scones were very moist, tender and light, almost like a chocolate cake but not as sweet. The peppermint sugar added a nice crunch and a faint peppermint aroma and flavor. Was this like having cake for breakfast? Well, sort of. But, so what! It was a nice Christmas morning indulgence, one we'll probably be repeating next year.
Chocolate Scones with Peppermint Sugar
1 Tbsp. hot water
1/2 tsp. espresso powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp. milk or cream
1 candy cane, finely crushed
1 tsp. sugar
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the espresso powder and the hot water, stir well and allow to cool. Combine the crushed candy cane with 1 tsp. of sugar and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder and sugar until thoroughly blended. Work the butter into the dry ingredients just until the mixture is crumbly and has lumps the size of peas. Add the chocolate chips, the buttermilk and the espresso mixture and stir with a fork just until a soft dough is formed.
Gently knead the mixture about 5 times on a lightly floured board to bring the dough together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Brush the round with a little milk or cream and sprinkle with the candy cane mixture. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and move each wedge to the prepared baking sheet. The scones will rise and spread a bit so there should be some space in between them.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.

Moving lower middle income status forward
Dr Fahmida Khatun
The news is refreshing, particularly since Bangladesh is always on the spotlight for its negative image. Moving to the World Bank's 'lower middle income' category through achieving higher Gross National Income is an addition towards improving the impression of the country. It has now joined an upgraded league where 51 out of 215 countries of the world are placed. This graduation of Bangladesh is an indication that despite various bottlenecks such as political turmoil, poor governance and natural disasters, the country is resilient and has been able to exhibit higher and steady economic growth over the years.
Enhanced image can bring in positives in the form of higher opportunities for commercial loans from the global market and higher foreign investment. But it also means getting soft loans from development agencies may become tougher. The rate of interest may be higher and the repayment period shorter than what is offered to low income countries. To face such situations the country has to be prepared by way of achieving further growth and higher income so that it can generate enough resources for its development to be less dependent on external finance as well as for repayment of any foreign loans.
Further growth will of course hinge on two critical issues: increased investment and building institutions. During the last decade or so, investment growth has not only been modest, but this growth was driven by public sector investment in terms of the larger size of the ADP. However, to achieve a growth of 8 percent, domestic investment has to be increased to 34.4 percent of GDP by FY2020. Investment in infrastructure such as transport and energy sectors will attract investment in other sectors and play a pivotal role in achieving higher growth. The major source of investment, of course, has to be the private sector—both domestic and foreign for which a favourable environment is a prerequisite. Predicaments such as delay and lack of transparency in the decision making process and lack of effective implementation of regulatory policies act as disincentives, particularly for foreign investment. Good governance and institutional reforms are, therefore, crucial for promoting investment and growth.
Along with investment in infrastructure, we will also need investment in human resource development, skills upgradation, innovation and R&D. We have been too complacent with our achievement in education and health sectors. But the quality of education and health services still remains poor and is not up to mark for an emerging economy. It is time that we act on improving the quality of our human resources through higher allocation of resources and establishing stringent quality control measures. Sadly, our education system does not encourage creativity and science and technology. The number of science graduates is declining relative to business graduates, not only due to students' lack of interest, but also due to the uncertainty of getting suitable jobs. On the other hand, though the economy has been performing relatively well, productivity is very low in all sectors due to lack of skills. Even with good agricultural output, our yield per acreage is lower than countries such as India and Thailand. Same goes for the readymade garments sector where output per worker is lower than other competing countries such as China and Vietnam. Higher productivity cannot be achieved without sophisticated technology.
One has to be mindful of the fact that many countries which are advanced today took several years to graduate from being a lower middle income country (LMIC) to upper middle income country (UMIC). For example, it took 17 years for China, 19 years for South Korea, 27 years for Malaysia and 28 years for Thailand to move from LMIC to UMIC. Also some of our compatriots continue to be in the LMIC despite good economic performances. India has been in the LMIC category since 2007 while Vietnam has been in the same league since 2009. In fact, as countries move to a higher ladder of development, it becomes tougher to continue with the same momentum of growth. That is why growth rates are found to be higher in low income countries than middle and high income countries. A World Bank study shows that since 1960 only 13 out of 101 countries came out of the middle income category and graduated to the high income group in 2008. This is something to be cautious about for aspiring countries.
For Bangladesh, moving ahead also means that it has to diversify its exports and move towards high value products. As the country progresses further, the competitive advantage of cheaper output will fade away. The only way to remain competitive is to manufacture technology supported high value products.
Moving forward into the UMIC category will also mean that income inequality has to be reduced. Without making growth broad based and inclusive, sustainability of growth cannot be ensured. This has to be pursued through the creation of livelihood opportunities for all. But any job is not enough. Jobs have to be in the formal sector that will guarantee wages for a decent living. Social protection for the less privileged sections has to be strengthened as well.
The bucket list is thus quite long for us to move forward. Getting there will depend on how we address the challenges that lie ahead.

Yeon Joo's father is still alive, Chul commits suicide, and Yeon Joo is drawn back into the webtoon world of 'W'.
SEE ALSO: Lee Jong Suk says he often gets misunderstood for being honest
The episode explored Yeon Joo's conflicting, roller coaster-like emotions toward Chul, the same man (thing?) who's put her life through such turmoil. I mean, come on. The dude shot her father. If I were her, that's where I'd draw the line and say, "Nope!" You mess with my fam, then you don't get to mess with me no more.
Thankfully, Oh Sung Moo survived being shot by Chul.
But of course, this is a Korean drama, where more often than not, characters end up following their hearts rather than their heads. Yeon Joo unsuccessfully tries to convince herself that Chul is just a "webtoon character," attempting to permanently sever any personal feelings she has for him. However, it turns out Yeon Joo was only fooling herself.
When she realized that Chul can be saved, the heavy finality she felt with seeing 'The End' at 'W's last chapter immediately turned into a sense of urgency. Somehow, 'The End' had changed to 'To Be Continued' after 'W' once again pulled her into the webtoon world. I get that forces beyond anyone's comprehension are controlling the webtoon, but the suspense is driving me bonkers.
Leaving a blind date because you can't explain that you were pulled into a webtoon without seeming crazy.
Chul's sole purpose for surviving every time he faces imminent, life-threatening danger is because he needed to find his family's killer. That was also his only reason for living, coming back to life even when his own creator tried to off him once and for all. But in the last episode, we learned that no one killed Chul's family. As ridiculous as it all may seem, Oh Sung Moo claims that there is no face to the killer. That part of the story simply exists "for the sake of making Chul strong."
The face your father gives you when you tell your father you're in love with a 2D character.
But after seeing the 'faceless' killer for the first time roaming freely outside of the webtoon world, we're given the hint that there's more to Chul's family's murder than what Oh Sung Moo or the webtoon itself lets on. I think a Jackie Chan 'WTF?!' meme would be appropriate for this kind of downright confounding scenario. Things keep coming alive in 'W' for reasons that are obscure to us viewers. If Chul jumped up and out of the pages of 'W' because Oh Sung Moo created him to be a character with exceptionally strong willpower, then what about the hooded killer that we saw teetering on top of the Han River Bridge? Another force must have called him into the real world...but we don't yet know just what.
I suppose these new developments do keep the story interesting. But I'll have to keep watching to find out whether these developments will unravel in a way that will maintain its novelty.

I'm 16 and I do not know how to talk to girls. How do I start conversations? A lot of people say just be yourself but it doesn't help. Like how do I respond to her. It's so frustrating. I never really had a convo with a girl. I really need so examples. Please Help
Most Helpful Girl
I know just what you are going through (but opposite of course... haha).
I recently learned the trick. It's scary as heck, but it's so stupidly simple.
You just do it. I thought I could never just go up and talk to a guy, and when people would say "Just go TALK to him!" I would do anything to avoid it.
To be honest, I still need coaxing, but I am less afraid, now that I've done it a few times.
Here's what struck the epiphany.
At my college, there is a psychology class that is always doing social experiments. One time, this guy came and just sat by me and started moving my things and looking though my books. (that was weird... haha) and another time, these 2 people just stared at me from across the room for like 10 minutes...
The time I am talking about, this guy came up to me and just sat down and introduced himself. For the next 5-10 minutes, he just asked me about myself and what I'm into and told me a little bit (not much) about himself. He never looked bored or uncomfortable, and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. Since it was not necessarily normal behavior, I figured it must be another social experiment, so I just played along, but it surprised me how okay with it I was. It was a little uncomfortable to have a stranger talking to me, but mostly I was wondering if we actually could get to know one another.
Long story short, if you just go up to someone and talk to them like a normal human being, they are very likely to respond in a positive way, and if they don't then they aren't worth your time. I would go out with a guy who came up and started talking to me far before a guy who just waited for me to make the first move.00|00|0

Mistress denies extorting Jordan
Karla Knafel, the woman that was accused by Michael Jordan of extortion, is denying the charges and filing a lawsuit that claims Jordan offered her $5 million US to remain quiet about their relationship.
Knafel feels she is owed the money because Jordan was in breach of contract.
Jordan originally filed the lawsuit in October after he said he had a relationship with Knafel more than 10 years ago.
Jordan had paid the woman $250,000 US at the time because of a possible threat of "publicly exposing the relationship."
The lawsuit also explained that Knafel tried to get $5 million US more as well.
On Tuesday, Knafel's lawyer, Michael Hannafan, said: "It was Jordan who initially offered to pay her $5 million in the spring of 1991 for her agreement not to file a public paternity proceeding and for keeping their sexual relationship publicly confidential."
Hannafan said that his client had engaged in sexual activity with Jordan between 1989-1991 and that Knafel became pregnant shortly after she was with Jordan in November 1990.
Knafel alleges that Jordan then paid her $5 million US to keep the relationship silent, and about the child that was believed to have come from Jordan.
Knafel is no longer claiming that the child is Jordan's.
Jordan's attorney, Frederick Sperling authorized the 39-year-old Jordan "to state that the papers Karla Knafel filed with the court on Tuesday are full of lies. Any allegation that Michael Jordan is the father of any of Karla Knafel's children is completely untrue."
Jordan asked the court for an injunction barring further extortion efforts and a declaration that Knafel's demand is unenforceable because of her "existing obligation not to publicly expose the relationship."
Jordan has been married to his wife, Juanita, for more than 12 years.
Juanita Jordan filed for divorce last January, but withdrew the case one month later as the couple attempted reconciliation.
In 11 games this season, Jordan is averaging 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game.
The five-time MVP averaged 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 60 games last season with the Wizards.

Anita and Stuart have been cycling for almost 4 months, firstly across Europe (UK to Istanbul) and now will cycle for a couple of months in India. They decided to spend a few days with us and learn cheesemaking. Anita also writes a blog about cheeses where ever they travel. The cheeses were made but the big question was how were they to carry them back on their cycle all over India before they final head home for the U.K.! So luckily Tina came up with the idea that we would send it to their last destination in Kolkata. And that was safely achieved. We are waiting to hear from Anita and Stuart how the cheeses taste when they get back home. Do check out their blog too at http://www.stunita.co.uk/cheese/

Aditi and Suhas Deo stayed with us a while back. They drove up here from Poona and Aditi has sent us this hand-drawn map on a postcard of their trip from Poona to Acres Wild Farm and back. Very fine artwork here. Not sure if this scanned image is going to do justice to it but here it is. Thanks Aditi.
It has been 6 years since Aamir and Kiran visited us in Coonoor. The last time incidentally was when I had found this land but did not bring him here or the price would have gone up 🙂 So it was a pleasant surprise for them to see how Acres Wild has shaped up. Here are some photos of a Cheesemaking Demo for them.
Our recent farmstay guests Cherry and Yashesh who were doing a cheese course with us suddenly had a bright idea to have a barbeque. So we tested our central fireplace in our living room to double as a barbeque. This we had in mind by design but it was not really tested. Tina also decided to bake the Jalepenos that were cut and stuffed with our cream cheese and some molasses.
We were pleasantly surprised the other day when I got a call from the Principal of Hebron Girls School in Ooty, Mr Mark. He was keen to visit our farm and so he did with his wife Lyn. It was a pleasure showing them around and they showed great interest in sending their students here for various activities that we have promised to flesh out. Yes we are excited that more schools are showing interest in sending their students here. Great fun for us too. Here they are checking out our Cheesemaking Cottage.
The second day we took the Aditi Mallya kids to Earth Trust in Ooty for a practical demo of Bio-dynamic farming and permaculture principles. Mr Mohan there initiated them with first a film on the horrifix hazards of chemical farming on land and people. Here we see Vania, the founder of the NGO, giving a very inspiring talk to the kids.
Spreading the Compost
The kids from Aditi Mallya seen here, crumbling and spreading the compost on the raised vegetable bed. This was the real test and after the initial hesitation the kids realized that compost does not kill you. In fact it even smells great.

China, US see Pacific's importance increase
China's growing power and the United States reaction to it is being felt in the Pacific Islands. In recent years, both countries have sent increasingly heavy-weight delegations, following the annual Pacific leaders' summit by the Pacific Islands Forum. The two day post-Forum dialogue gives leaders from the 14 island nations who make up the Forum an opportunity to meet with major powers who have an interest in the region. Last year, the United States sent a fifty member posse of diplomats led by the Deputy Secretary of State while China's delegation was lead by its Vice-Foreign Minister. This year, Hillary Clinton is set to lead the US group - the first time an American Secretary of State has attended the talks.

I agree with #41. You guys just sound like a trashy couple, straight up. I wouldn't be surprised about his other girl if I were you. By allowing him to watch porn with you, you've given him permission to admire other women.

"By allowing him to watch porn with you, you've given him permission to admire other women." Better to give him permission than get mad at him for it. He's going to look at other women whether he's 'allowed' to or not. It's what guys do. Hell, it's what women do, too. Admiring other women is a hell of a lot different than having sex with other women. I have no problem with it if my fiance points to some girl and says "she's hot." He's right, nine times out of ten, and I would LOVE to look like some of the girls he points to. I'm pretty but I know I'm not georgeous. There are girls out there better looking than I am, and I'm not going to try to deny thier existance. In return I'm alllowed to check out, and comment on, other guys. As long as it doesnt move beyond that, theres no problem. Besides that, a lot of couples, a lot of RESPECTABLE couples, watch porn together. Think of it this way: would you rather have him watch porn secretly while you're not around, or be there with him, so that you can take a least a little credit when he gets turned on?

Seriously, is this what feminism has done to women nowadays? The OP's husband is obviously a douchebag, but when I think divorce I think "a way out of a marriage; a relationship that's clearly not going in the right direction" not "Woo hoo! Jackpot! I get half her shit and maybe then some!" Honestly, fuck you poster #2. You're what's wrong with modern women and are a clear addition to my cynicism about society.

he'll come running back once he realizes his wife was down to earth and willing to have a good time. When the pregnant girlfriend starts becoming catty and demanding him to be near her 24-7 and blowing up his phone wondering where he went even if he only left her side for one second to go take a dump.

.La Vie En Rose - Donna Summer - 'Tribute To Edith Piaf' Summer covered "La Vie en Rose" for the tribute album, Tribute to Edith Piaf, released in France and the United States, on which several other contemporary stars including Pat Benatar, Emmylou Harris and Ann Wilson of Heart, recorded interpretations of some of Piaf's best known works. (Special thanks to ingressolibero http://www.youtube.com/user/ingressol... and http://www.youtube.com/user/Discomichel for the generous use of their Paris, France concert footage. Check out their channels. They rock!!!)
I thought that love was just a word
They sang about in songs I heard
It took your kisses to reveal
That I was wrong, and love is real
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

Skip to comments.In Arkansas, Avoiding Labels, Even Democrat
Posted on 04/10/2010 9:22:43 PM PDT by Saije
This seasons darling of the political left, a man who has generated millions of dollars in his quest to stop Senator Blanche Lincoln from serving a third term, took a seat in the Gunsmoke Room at the Western Sizzlin restaurant here and explained his ideology.
The word Democrat came up only a time or two. The word liberal? Never.
I dont want the simplistic labels to get in the way of whats really going on here, said Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, a Democrat whose primary challenge to Mrs. Lincoln has ignited enthusiasm among activists who want to purge the party of those they see as close to corporate interests and uncommitted to liberal causes. Im complicated. I doubt you would like it very much if someone put a one-word adjective to describe you.
Yet the very definition of the Democratic label is being tested in the Senate race in Arkansas, which has emerged as one of the most divisive primaries among Democrats as the midterm elections get under way.
Mr. Halters reluctance to fully embrace the left might ultimately make him a less-perfect standard-bearer than many liberals had hoped. But the campaign for the Senate seat held by Mrs. Lincoln one that has been in Democratic hands for more than a century is highlighting the divide between pragmatism, idealism and opportunity, as well as the tension between the continuity represented by incumbents and the change offered by challengers.
For all the talk of an angry conservative electorate this year, those on the left side of the spectrum are plenty angry, too, frustrated that President Obama and the majorities his party enjoys in Congress have not accomplished more to enact a liberal agenda.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
That doesn't stop much of his party from doing so...and the one word they tend to use is "racist"...since that is their jump off point of ad hominems regardless of issue.
What kills me is their attempts to describe themselves as "progressives"
LOL, like where EVER has there been "progress" under these dopes. No pun intended.
You know what? Let's do it his way... How about he just explain whatever actions he has supported now or in the past that violate the Constitution. I guarantee he won't want to discuss THAT issue — at least not truthfully... OR he'll lie through his teeth.
This is very predictable, IMHO. Last election the Democrats were all ABOUT how they were the "other guys". Now, it's not important? I hope people are angry enough not to forget.
I will immediately question his judgement if he runs as a democrat.
Democrats believe all American taxpayers should fund abortions.
If this guy doesn't think this way, he would show a little integrity and he wouldn't belong to that party.
They are constantly either using new words, or just changing the definitions of old ones via the professors teaching history, economics and politics in most universities - sometimes even younger grades like I was exposed to via my HS English teacher (now head of the Dept. at my old school)...
Democrat dirty deeds done diabolically!
The letter "D" beside the name says it all!
Exactly. The Democrat party is practically defined by its use of the one-word slander, "racist".
>>>What kills me is their attempts to describe themselves as progressives
LOL, like where EVER has there been progress under these dopes. No pun intended.<<
Exactly, These imbecilic libtards hijacked another word from the lexicon and adopted it without telling the rest of us.
If he runs a Rat..he is a Rat who will vote to re-elect Pelosi and further their agenda. None of this..I am a great guy vote for me crap. In the end the number one thing is who they will elect as party leadership.
"I'm complicated" is a code phrase for "I have no overarching principles."
I realize democrats are just projecting their own racism onto others, but in using the term for anything whatsoever, regardless of any actually relation to race even they have removed most of the meaning from the term. To be a racist these days just means that the democrats don't like you...it says volumes about them, but nothing about you.
If he aint conservative.HE AINT!
My brother and I were just talking about this very thing today. Some 'kid' came to my door the other day and was campaigning for a guy running for county office. Anyway he handed a campaign card to me and the first thing I looked for was party affiliation and there wasn't anything listed. But at the top right corner was a 'tiny' jackass. I shoved it back at the kid and told him "this guy is a jackass and I'm not interested". lol the kid backed off my porch and said "fair enough". That's in MO btw.

Nyack is great if you're looking to grow spiritually. There is a culture here, a very real sense of community. It is easy to get to know people, but you have space if you want it. The food used to be a slight complaint, but after my first semester survey it changed by second semester! Chapels might be better off at night, but overall Nyack is one of my best experiences.
Nyack promotes an safe and community centered environment. I love being here because I have learned so much about myself and have been blessed with a number of opportunities that I never even knew I wanted. The professors challenge you academically, spiritually, and personally. Nyack's community is divers so you are able to met and learn about so many different kinds of people. Over all, my time here has been an enriching experience.
I love Nyack College! It's a very small community, super friendly and caring. Everyone in the school pushes you to grow and if I ever want prayer or a advice anyone is willing help me out. If I ever had to redo my college search I wouldn't have picked Nyack College this is the only school I applied to but, it's very expensive for me. If I had scholarships then I'll stay! But I have been applying and no one reaches back to me.
