ST. PAUL, Minn. (3/2/15)--The Minnesota Business Journal received an education in the credit union difference recently, as Jim Nussle, CUNA president/CEO, and Mark Cummins, president/CEO of the Minnesota Credit Union Network, sat down with the publication to talk data breaches, legislative priorities and credit union growth.
At the forefront of the Business Journal's line of questioning was cybersecurity and the effect data breaches have on credit unions compared with banks.
"We are not-for-profits, so we don't have a lot of capital reserves lying around we can put toward added costs," said Nussle, who was in the Twin Cities last week to visit the league. "We're working with all our financial-services partners in Washington on legislation to push merchants to protect consumer data.
"In this day and age, it should be a given that you have a responsibility to protect the data of your customers, in much the same way the doctor's office has to protect patient data."
The Business Journal also asked if presenting credit unions as the "good guys" in the aftermath of the financial crisis, especially compared with big banks, has paid off for the movement.
In response, Cummins pointed to the recent strong growth in memberships, even among younger demographics.
"What we're hearing from folks is they're seeing a lot more younger members who are joining because of that base premise of us being a nonprofit model and operating in the best interest of clients," Cummins said. "They also don't view bigger as better. They've grown up during a time when they've seen that the security you once had as a worker for a larger national company is secure no longer."
Nussle also explained that easing regulatory burden for credit unions in general tops the list of legislative priorities for the credit union industry.
"Since 2009, when the big banks were failing, more than a dozen agencies have enacted over 190 regulations totaling nearly 6,000 pages," Nussle said. "If you're a small credit union, that's what you have to know just to open your doors in the morning."

The first same-sex newlyweds married in Montgomery, Alabama, this morning camped out overnight outside the courthouse—with one of the brides still wearing a brace on her leg recovering from a sprained ankle.
Tori Sisson, 24, and Shanté Wolfe, 21, arrived on Sunday evening to set up their tent and then camped outside the Montgomery County Courthouse overnight under rain and temperatures that dropped below 50º degrees.
But Sisson says she just couldn't wait any longer.
"We had a box in the tent and I elevated my leg," Sisson told Fusion during a telephone interview.
Early Monday morning—despite a last-minute bid from the attorney general to prevent it—many Alabama courthouses began granting same-sex marriages following a January ruling by a federal judge. The U.S. Supreme Court declined the attorney general's move to halt the marriage, though some counties have reportedly violated the court's ruling and refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, according to Human Rights Campaign.
Sisson walked out of the courthouse giving a thumbs up while she proudly held her marriage license.
But the celebration is bittersweet.
"While our marriage is recognized, there are still no explicit statewide laws that prohibit workplace or accommodations protections," Sisson wrote in a blog entry penned on the Human Rights Campaign website. "We could go home today and find an eviction notice on our door. Justice is not yet for all, but today proves that we're getting closer."
Alabama is one of 13 states in the nation that allow same sex marriage but do not extend anti-discrimination laws for LGBT people.

South Africa's national cricket team or South Africa cricket team is also known as The Proteas in the outside world. South Africa or the South Africa team is managed by South Africa's Cricket South Africa Cricket Cricket South Africa.
South Africa is the full member state of the International Cricket Council or the ICC, which has the right to participate in Test cricket, One Day International cricket and Twenty20 International Cricket. Since the mid-nineties in the last century, the Proteas have been known as the International Cricketers' Chokes. Because they are a very strong team in World Cup cricket, they have not been a champion yet.
Republic of South Africa is a state in the extreme south of Africa with a 2798 km coastline in the Indian and Atlantic oceans. It borders on the north with Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and northeast with Swaziland and Mozambique. Lesotho is an enclave that is completely surrounded by South Africa.
The country's area is 1 219 090 km² (24th in the world). Population: 44.2 million people (27th in the world). Capitals: administrative – city of Pretoria, legislative – Cape Town, court – Bloemfontein.
South Africa is known for its diversity of cultures and languages. The eleven official languages are enshrined in the constitution. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans, a language that emerged on the basis of Dutch, which is used by the majority of South Africans, as well as South African English. Although English plays a major role in public and commercial life, nonetheless, it is only a fifth for use as a native.
South Africa is ethnically diverse. 79.5% of the population has an African descent, divided between various ethnic groups that speak different languages of Bantu, of which 9 have official status. South Africa also has the largest European, Indian and racially mixed communities. About a quarter of the population is made up of unemployed people who live on less than $ 1.25. US per day.
South Africa is a constitutional democracy in the form of a parliamentary republic. It is one of the founding members of the African Union, and has the largest economy of its members. In addition, he is one of the founders of the United Nations and NEPAD. South Africa is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Antarctic Treaty, the Group of 77, the South African Customs Union, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the G20 and the G8 +5.
As of 13 November 2013, the African team participated in 379 Tests. Among them, 138 (36.41%), defeat 127 (33.51%) and 114 draws (30.08%) were won.
As of November 13, 2013, 498 one-day internationals have won 307 (61.65%), defeating 172 (34.54%), 6 (1.20%), and 13 result (2.61% ).
On August 28, 2012, the South African team gained the status of World No. 1 in three types of cricket as the first team.
In the 1970s, due to the racism policy of the government, the ICC issued a stay against South Africa. The team will play against England, Australia and New Zealand only as a white country – the ICC is forced to make a decision against the announcement of the South African government. As a result, talented players like Graeme Pollock, Barry Richards and Mike Procter were denied to play international cricket. Also, emerging cricketers like Allan Lamb and Robin Smith also migrated to England and Kepler Wessels for Australia. Later on, Kepler Wessels again played for South Africa.
In the context of the rehabilitation of the country by the South African government in 1991, the ICC suspended the suspension. The team has played one day international cricket in Kolkata on 10 November 1991 in Calcutta against the Indian cricket team since 1 st June.
After retaining the membership of the South Africa team again, they got mixed success. In 2003, the ICC elected South Africa as the host country for the Cricket World Cup. Furthermore, the world is recognized and credible – despite being a recognized player such as Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Gary Kirsten and Hansie Cronje, the team is named as the lookers. Three times in the World Cup, the team failed to go into the semi-finals but could go to the final. Especially in the 1999 Super Six stage, the loss of Australian captain Steve Waugh by Herschelle Gibbs was a memorable event.
In the second half of the 1990's, South Africa had the highest average one-day cricket win against any team. Nevertheless, the team failed to reach the quarter-finals in 1996. In 2003, South Africa's cricket team could not raise the group stage in the misunderstanding of winning the 1 run as one of the team's hopes.
They also could not win the ICC Champions Trophy 2002 and the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 as other world tournaments.
After Alan Donald's retirement, Hansie Cronje's absence from the plane crash and retired from Shaun Pollock's international cricket, the team is still in a setback. Graeme Smith as his captain, has been responsible for his responsibility and is giving him the right combination, Jacques Kallis, Ashwell Prince. On July 12, 2006, the 29-year-old Ashwell Prince is the first non-white man to lead South Africa as a white group. In the context of the caste quota, he was taken as the black player in the team. But this policy has changed since 2007.
Test cricket
In 1935, Dave Norris scored his highest individual score of 231 in the Test against the Australians in Johannesburg.
In 1947, the South African Cricket Team visited England. In the Nottingham Test, captain Alan Melville and vice-captain Dave Nors made the world record for 319 runs in 3 wickets. The following year, the 38 year old Norris captain played MCC Test match.
One-day international cricket
After South Africa's team batting first, the world record for one day international cricket In the 5th game in 2006, the tourists won the match against Australia by 438/9 in 49.5 overs and won 1 in a very competitive match. This game is considered to be one of the best games in one-day international cricket history.
In the 2011 ICC World Cup held in Mohali, the match was won by a huge margin of 231 against South Africa, Netherlands or Netherlands. This win is the 4th big victory against any team in the World Cup and the biggest victory for South Africa. Also, South Africa's victory in the match on March 3, 2011 was their second biggest victory in ODIs.
JP Duminy-Colin Ingram scored 87 runs for the South African side for the highest score of 6 wickets in the World Cup. However, in 1997, Hansie Cronje-Shaun Pollock scored 137 runs against Zimbabwe in their best for the sixth wicket. The team won one hundred or more runs in 7 matches for the World Cup.
Participation in the tournament
There has been a record of defeats of South Africa for a long time, which has won a major tournament. For example: In the 1992 World Cup, they lost the rain-fed semi-final Duckworth-Lewis method. Although it required 22 runs from 13 balls, due to this method, when rain came to an end, their target was won by a ball of 22 runs from 1 ball.
South Africa reached the quarter-finals in 1st place in 1996. The team lost the final match of the 1999 World Cup against Australia in the Super Six match.
As the host country in the 2003 World Cup, South Africa failed to know how many runs to score for rain-fed games, as the group dropped out of the group stage. As a captain, Shaun Pollock dropped out of the captaincy and continued to play Graeme Smith's captaincy. South Africa, led by Smith, is successful in some areas. However, within a few months, many star players have been hit due to retirement. Among them – fast bowler Allan Donald, one-day cricket experienced Jonty Rhodes. As a result, South Africa only won the only West Indies cricket team in 2004.
In the semi-finals of the 2007 World Cup, all-out against Australia was bowled out for just 149 runs, in which the South African cricket team recorded their lowest score in the World Cup. As a result, Australia easily won by 7 wickets. Although the team is one of the best teams, they still can not win the World Cup.
In the 2011 tournament held jointly by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka in the 10th edition of the World Cup, they were all-out in each group in Group B. But in the quarter-finals dramatically losing the wicket and losing 68 wickets to 68 runs. As a result, the New Zealand team won. Through this defeat, South Africa again proved that they could never win a knock-out game and they were all slandered by the name of Choksar.

Printed circuit board
A printed circuit board or PCB is a cost-effective, fast, tidy, compact and resilient way to manufacture electronic circuitry.
Circuit pathways are etched out of a thin sheet of copper on a hard board, rather than being formed from individual loose wires; these pathways are referred to as "traces". A sealant layer is placed over the top of the copper; traditionally, this layer was green or brown, but bright colours are often seen now, red in particular.
Circuit components are soldered onto printed circuit boards. On a typical single-sided PCB, the components are placed onto one side, and the copper circuit traces are placed on the other. Many PCBs have copper traces on both sides to permit more complex circuitry to be arranged. The components may have legs that are pushed through holes punched in the PCB, or they may simply have small metal contacts, and be glued in place before being soldered; the latter approach is called "surface mount", and is commonly used for small components such as resistors and light-emitting diodes.
Switch mount
In mechanical keyboards, the individual switches are all soldered onto a printed circuit board. Some switches are supported by the PCB alone, but better keyboards will include a sheet steel plate to support the switches. The exact method by which the switches are held in place is referred to as the switch mount.
Plate-mounted Simplified Alps Type IV switches
Membrane keyboards only require a small PCB, to support the keyboard controller and connect to the membrane

An easy mapo tofu recipe that creates the authentic taste of China.
Mapo tofu (麻婆豆腐, ma po dou fu) is one of the most popular classic Sichuan dishes. It has a spicy, pungent, and appetizing flavor that goes perfectly with steamed rice.
I love cooking mapo tofu for a quick lunch or dinner. Sometimes I double the meat and sauce, so it will be enough to serve two people as a one-dish meal. I also like to add a handful of greens (mustard greens or spinach) at the end of braising, to create a more nutritious and balanced meal. I often replace the ground pork (used in the authentic version) with ground turkey to cut calories.
For special diets, you can make it less spicy and skip the rice so it will be paleo friendly. You can also make it into a vegan dish by replacing the meat with mushrooms.
Yes, mapo tofu is such a versatile dish!
I'm sharing my basic mapo tofu recipe below. It creates the very authentic taste that you'd get at a restaurant in China. However, based on this recipe, you can easily twist the dish according to your preferences.
Ingredient info
Doubanjiang (豆瓣酱), also known as spicy fermented bean paste and broad bean sauce, is the most important ingredient in this dish. Try to find "Pixian Broad Bean Sauce" at an Asian market. Pixian is a small county in Sichuan province that produces the best broad bean paste. If you're using this brand, you're already halfway there. You can also purchase this brand on Amazon here.
The other important ingredient is chili oil (辣椒油). Although you can purchase bottled chili oil at the grocery store, I highly recommend you make it at home. Freshly cooked chili oil tastes much better than store-bought and is free of additives. You only need five minutes to cook it and it is really easy. You can find an easy chili oil recipe here. If you have more time, you can also refer to the more complicated chili oil in this recipe. It takes some effort to cook, but you won't look at chili oil the same way after you try this one.
You will usually cook more chili oil than you're able to use in one meal. You can store the the extra oil in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks or in the fridge for up to two months. You can use the chili oil in various dishes, including bang bang chicken, Lanzhou beef noodle soup, green beans with spicy peanut Sauce, and dan dan noodles. You can also add it into a dipping sauce for potstickers, or add it to wonton soup to enhance the flavor.

Authentic Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐)
Marinade (*see footnote 1)
- 120 grams (4 ounces) ground meat (pork, chicken or turkey) (*Footnote 1)
- 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger , minced (or 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder)
For braising
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional) (*Footnote 2)
- 2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns increase to 3 teaspoons if you like your dish extra numbing
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Doubanjiang (spicy fermented bean paste)
- 2 tablespoons green onion , chopped
- 1 block (400-g / 14-oz) firm or medium firm tofu , cut into 1.5cm (1/2 inch) squares
- 1 cup water (or chicken stock)
- 2 teaspoons homemade chili oil (1 teaspoon for a less spicy dish)
- 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon green part of chopped green onion for garnish (optional)
- steamed rice to serve with (optional)
- Combine ground meat, cooking wine, soy sauce, and ginger in a bowl. Mix well.
- Combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil and Sichuan peppercorns in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When the Sichuan peppercorns turn dark brown and crispy, scoop them out with spatula and transfer into a bowl layered with paper towel to soak extra oil. Save to use for garnish the dish.
- When oil is hot, add ground meat and Doubanjiang. Stir-fry over medium heat with a spatula, until pork is evenly coated with Doubanjiang. Add green onion and stir fry for another minute.
- Spread tofu evenly on top of ground pork (*See footnote 3). Add chili oil, five-spice powder, and sugar. Pour in water and cook until bringing to a simmer. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until tofu becomes tender and the sauce has reduced to half the original amount. Taste the tofu with some broth (be careful, it will be very hot!). Adjust seasoning by adding salt. If the dish is too spicy, add another teaspoon of sugar. Gently mix well with spatula.
- Meanwhile, ground the fried Sichuan peppercorns (you used when heating up the oil) in a coffee grinder or by using mortar and pastel.
- Mix cornstarch water again until fully dissolved and swirl it into the skillet. Gently stir a few times with a spatula, until sauce thickens. Turn off heat and transfer everything to a bowl.
- Garnish with green onion and a small pinch the ground Sichuan peppercorns (*Footnote 4), if using. Serve warm over steamed rice or by itself as main.
- You can skip the meat and make this dish a vegetarian one. In this case, I highly recommend replacing the meat with mushrooms (such as rehydrated dried shiitake mushrooms) to enhance flavor.
- If you like the tofu with more broth, you can braise the tofu for a shorter time and use the cornstarch slurry to thicken the broth. Alternatively, you can uncover and braise until most of the liquid evaporate. The tofu will absorb more flavor this way.
- Do not stir the tofu immediately after adding it into the skillet, in order to keep the pieces from breaking apart. The tofu will get firmer after braising and you can stir it once it's cooked.
- The Sichuan peppercorns add a numbing nutty aroma to the dish. The fried Sichuan peppercorns has a more roundup body so it is works great for garnishing the dish or in a salad. You only need a small around in this recipe to finish up the dish. Store the rest in an airtight container no longer than a month.
This recipe was originally published 23 November 2013.

Whether your nails are short or long, you can always add flare to them with acrylic nail design. Usually the design is quite tiny and added on top of the regular polish of the nail. This small acrylic design helps express personal style, hobbies, and interest. It is not difficult to make such small design but at the same time it is also very challenging. To ease you making the design, make sure your hand is steady while working. In addition, you should use a fine paint brush. You can start by painting a base color on the nails. You can use any of your favorite colored nail polish. Wait for approximately three minutes until the nails dry. Now take the fine paint brush and dip it into the acrylic paint. Draw an attractive design on your nails with the brush. After you finish drawing the design, let the paint dry for several minutes. Finally, you can give a final coat.
Making an acrylic nail design is not difficult. Everyone can do it. Sometimes, the most difficult part is when you should choose the nail design. There is no wrong or right when talking about design. It all depends on your desired style. You can try to experiment with several different designs. Prepare a pencil and piece of paper. Draw your designs on the paper. Make a scale for your design. Now, you can make the design on your nails. Find a brush which is small and thin especially if you are going to make a very small design. After you have finished painting your nails, do not forget to apply a coat of clear polish. But, make sure the nails have been dry first.
If you plan to have an acrylic nail design, you must know how to care for your nails because it is very important. After your nails are painted, do not ever buff them. Buffing your nails especially the tips of the nails will ruin the pattern. Avoid chipping by brushing up the pattern. Avoid repainting your nails too many times otherwise the design will look messy. You may need to start over when the design gets chipped exceedingly. Some people have extremely dry nails. This kind of nails is easy to break. Since the nails are very sensitive you may need to apply moisturizer before painting them. Also, do a small test for the product you are going to use to see whether there is allergic reaction.

Our November Art & Interiors Auction which will take place on Sunday the 19th of November and will see a wonderful mix of antique furniture, art from Ireland and beyond, jewellery, silver and glass coming to the market.
We are very pleased to include as part of our auction the life time collection of Roisin Russell decd., late of The Old School House Durrus, Co. Cork.
With a passion for artefacts and all things eclectic, Roisin Russell collected antiques, art and curiosities from around the globe for almost 60 years. Her story began as Irish immigrant in central Canada in the 1960's, where she found a part time job in a used furniture store.
Buying trips to houses, farms and flea markets gave her an appetite to learn more about antiques, and soon her own Victorian farmhouse was furnished with interesting items, largely from Upper Canada and the Niagara escarpment. From snow shoes to Inuit carvings and kitchen implements, her diverse collections of Canadiana began to take shape.
A move west to British Columbia in the 70's expanded her interests and opportunities. In British Columbia, Mrs Russell added NW Coast Indian masks, dugout canoes and Asian art to her collections. The volume grew, and soon she opened an antique store from which to sell them.
By 1980, Mrs Russell felt the call to return to Ireland, ultimately landing in West Cork, where she spent the remainder of her life. Much of the Canadian content returned with her, and in her spacious home, the collections grew to include Irish indigenous pottery, furniture and other fascinating artefacts.
Because of the diversity of her treasures, visitors would often remark that her home had a museum-like quality. Indeed, her kitchen was complete with grain vintage scoops, butter churns and a baker's paddle, while the bathrooms housed antique curling tongs, spittoons and shaving items.

Another beginning-of-summer event for us is our annual trip to Rehoboth Beach. We had a great time this past week seeing the family and enjoying our favorite traditions like Louie's Subs & Pizza and Royal Treat Breakfast & Ice Cream Parlor. We had big family dinners at the house, complete with apps and happy hour. Needless to say, it was an "off week" from our normal eating/fitness routine, but well worth it.
One of the appetizers we made for the family was essentially my chunky guacamole recipe, except with two additional ingredients: mango and habanero peppers! These additions round out the guacamole and make it a little more sweet, tangy, and add just a bit more spice, making the perfect appetizer for a warm summer day.
The second one was sooo fabulous I decided to call it The North Shore -- warm goat cheese, drizzled with honey, spread over warmed French bread with dressed arugula and sweet, roasted red peppers.
Perfect for your next summer event!
The North Shore
baked goat cheese with honey
- 1 log of goat cheese
- 1 baguette or other French bread, sliced 1-inch thick rounds, toasted
- 3-4 cups of arugula
- 1 12 oz jar roasted red peppers
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Carefully unwrap goat cheese and place in center of cookie sheet or a large ovenproof plate. Bake for 20 minutes.
2. Using a large spatula or two, carefully slide the cheese onto a plate from the cookie sheet, reshaping as necessary. If an ovenproof plate was used, let it cool for 5 minutes.
3. Arrange arugula, roasted red peppers, and toasted bread around the cheese. Drizzle with a generous amount of honey and top with ground black pepper. Dress the arugula with olive oil and vinegar.
4. Spread goat cheese on bread, top with arugula and red peppers and enjoy!
Other optional toppings include pine nuts or shaved almonds.

Attendees Have Chance to Bid on Jaguar XKE Previously Owned by John Gotti
For the first time, guests can raise their glasses to Repeal Day at The Underground, The Mob Museum's new Prohibition-history exhibition, on Dec. 5. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day, guests can enjoy unlimited champagne and draft beer for $19.33—in honor of the year Prohibition was repealed. Then, from 7 to 11 p.m., an exclusive, separately ticketed celebration will immerse revelers in The Underground's authentic, 1920s-inspired speakeasy atmosphere where house-distilled moonshine and hand-crafted cocktails flow all evening long. Guests will enjoy tempting hors d'oeuvres, a live jazz band, silent auction featuring numerous valuable items—including a Jaguar XKE previously owned by John Gotti—Prohibition-era costume contest and access to The Underground's secret room where a special surprise awaits. Zappos, Johnson Brothers and Jim Beam serve as sponsors of this event.
Dec. 5, 2018, marks 85 years since the repeal of Prohibition, which had been enacted in 1919 by the passing of the 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment made the manufacture, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages illegal—and it was extraordinarily unpopular. U.S. citizens insisted on continuing to drink the newly illicit libations, giving organized crime a phenomenally lucrative new racket and causing the tremendous proliferation of organized crime activity. Due to the public's abject unwillingness to give up drinking alcohol, the amendment was repealed on Dec. 5, 1933.
Wednesday, Dec. 5
- 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Unlimited champagne and draft beer in The Underground for $19.33
- 7 to 11 p.m. – Repeal Day celebration with tickets beginning at $99
The Underground at The Mob Museum
300 Stewart Ave.
Las Vegas, NV 89101
Tickets to Repeal Day at The Underground are $99; a package including dinner at Triple George followed by admission to the Repeal Day party is $125 per person. Tickets may be purchased here. Museum Members receive a 10 percent discount.
The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides a world-class, interactive journey through true stories—from the birth of the Mob to today's headlines. The Mob Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at these topics through hundreds of artifacts and immersive storylines. Whether you like it or not, this is American history. It debuted a major renovation in 2018, including a Crime Lab, Use of Force Training Experience, and Organized Crime Today exhibit as well as The Underground, a basement-level Prohibition history exhibition featuring a speakeasy and distillery and sponsored by Zappos. Since opening in 2012, The Mob Museum has accumulated numerous accolades, including being named one of TripAdvisor's "Top 25 U.S. Museums," one of Las Vegas Weekly's "Twenty Greatest Attractions in Las Vegas History," one of Hotel.com's Top 7 "Travel Brag Landmarks," one of USA Today's "12 Can't Miss U.S. Museum Exhibits," "A Must for Travelers" by The New York Times, one of "20 Places Every American Should See" by Fox News and Budget Travel magazine, "Best Museum" by Nevada Magazine and is a multi-year winner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal's "Best of Las Vegas" rankings.

In Cuba -- where sudden shortages of everyday products are as commonplace as Fidel columns bashing the oligarchy -- condoms have always been a reliable stand-in for everything from kids' birthday balloons to bootleg beach balls. Even during the worst of times, the government kept dirt-cheap, Chinese-made rubbers on shelves around the nation.
But this month, condoms have suddenly become as hard to find in Havana as a George W. Bush T-shirt. The run on prophylactics, along with ongoing potato and beer shortfalls, is casting doubt on the Castro regime's claims that a slowly privatizing economy will make empty store shelves a problem of the past.
Here's what Cuban writer Miriam Celaya has to say on her blog, Sin Evasion (translated to English):
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Now it turns out that the shortages have reached condoms, those attachments needed for the safe practice of what some call "the national sport." Things have reached such an extreme that it has come to the point where drugstores and pharmacies have mobilized staff to change the expiration dates that appear on these already-expired products to "update" them and be able to sell them. There is testimony that in some of Cuba's interior provinces, this task has been assigned to recruits doing their military service: a strategy of total combat in the face of the alarms set off by this small and humble latex object. According to the authorities, this is being done "because the dates on the containers were wrong."
Consumers, however, are wary. In a country where corruption and deceit are part of the reality, no one feels safe. Some paranoiacs go to the extreme of suspecting it's part of an official conspiracy to promote births in Cuba... What it really does is lead to an increase in abortions.
In the past, condoms were sold for as little as three for a penny; now the price has rocketed to $1.30 for one rubber -- the daily wage for many Cuban workers, the Miami Herald notes.
Condoms don''t represent the only shortage hitting the island. Ceyala also writes that toilet paper and potatoes have recently been difficult to find, while another report says beer has been in short supply.

Glamour is back at Ascot: Elegant hats and demure dresses return to the paddock in the wake of drunken scenes on Ladies' Day
- Following drunken scenes at the end of Ladies' Day, Royal Ascot returned to glamorous form today
- Although one lady plumped for a hat shaped like a Red Arrow plane, most opted for demurely pretty looks
- Trouser suits proved surprisingly popular on day four and appeared in a rainbow of bright colours
- The Queen has another runner in today's races - second-placed Bold Sniper in the Wolferton Handicap
After Ladies' Day degenerated into drunken drama, racegoers arriving for the fourth day of Royal Ascot could have been forgiven for feeling a bit nervous about their day at the races.
But instead of drunks, tattoos and skintight frocks, racing fans were treated to the sight of elegantly dressed ladies sporting fabulous hats thronging the paddock - with not an inking in sight.
Gone were the plump bodies squeezed into too-tight Herve Leger and in their place were the tailored suits, colourful frocks and wonderfully quirky hats that have come to define the sartorial standard at Ascot.

Elegant: A lady looks wonderful in a cream dress accessorised with a huge hat, a neat nude clutch bag and a cosy Louis Vuitton pashmina
Looking good: A trio of beautifully dressed ladies sporting huge hats and fabulous jewellery arrive for a fourth day of racing at Royal Ascot
Wacky: Racegoer Laura McLellen chose to jazz up her pretty white broderie anglaise dress with an unusual Red Arrow inspired hat
Quirky: A lady in a pale pink ensemble trimmed with feathers beams as she joins a stylish group of chaps for day four at Royal Ascot
Perhaps with Royal Ascot's fashion police - overwhelmed yesterday by a sea of drunken 'ladies' - in mind, racegoers toed the line with shoulders covered in pretty floral tea dresses while outré fancy dress was nowhere to be seen. For now, at least.
Unusually, trouser suits also got a look in on day four, with several female racegoers opting for chic tailoring in navy blue, cerise and cream, teamed with dramatic hats.
Others, perhaps inspired by the Countess of Wessex, opted for dramatic summer black and used their hats to make a statement, with huge marabou plumes and brims that could have doubled as a parasol all making an appearance.
Among them was model Amy Willerton, who chose a demure black dress and a matching hat and clutch, although she couldn't resist adding a shot of glamour courtesy of a pair of crimson heels.
Most, however, kept the colour on their clothes, although one or two racegoers proved unable to resist the lure of a wacky hat - among them a lady who chose to accessorise her simple white dress with a titfer modelled on a Red Arrow stunt plane.

Looking good: A quartet of racegoers arrive for the fourth day of racing action at Royal Ascot, resplendent in bold brights and delicate floral print
Legendary celebrity hair stylist Paul Edmonds reveals his top tips:
- Hair normally looks better worn back and away from the face, especially if it your hat has a large brim.
- If your hair is long and you want a simple quick do', try putting your hair in a low ponytail and split the hair behind the band down the middle and pass the tail through itself and pull tight to get a soft, rolled up look.
- Long hair can also be plaited and finished with a binding of ribbon - think chic, not twee.
- If you have shorter hair, tuck the sides back or leave them out until the hat is on and then fold them back and grip under the hat.
- Always practice wearing a hat before the occasion as panic does not help give a great style.
- If all else fails, get a professional blow-dry.
Men, with only top hats or bare heads to choose from, were dapper in grey or black morning dress enlivened with colourful waistcoats and equally bright ties.
Watching the racegoers stream in for a fourth day of racing action was Gok Wan, Channel 4's fashion correspondent who declared himself pleased to see so many well turned-out ladies
Ahead of the opening race, he told MailOnline that monochrome and florals were likely to be popular with racegoers and as day four got underway, he appeared to be proved correct.
'There's going to be a lot of monochrome and quite a lot of colour clash,' he prophesied. 'Floral prints are a huge trend throughout the whole of the summer as well.
'It's going to feel very, very beautiful English garden. Of course, there will be the big-brimmed hats as well and this season we've gone very clean and neat with our tailoring, and we've put that on to prints as well.
'So expect to see loads and loads of sharp lines, which will be quite unusual for Ascot. I think it'll be very exciting.'
Away from the fashion, racing looks set to take centre stage with Dubai's Sheikh Mohammed bin Fayed al Maktoum among the owners hoping for success on the field today.
His fillies Bitter Lake and Elite Garden are among those lining up for the first race of the day, the Albany Stakes, with Saxo Jack and Energizer competing in the second - the Wolferton Handicap.
But if Sheikh Mohammed wants to take the Wolferton Handicap for Dubai, his horses will have to beat hot favourite Bold Sniper - a bay four-year-old owned and bred by the Queen.
Unfortunately for the Queen, Bold Sniper, who was trained by top instructor Sir Michael Stoute and will be ridden by champion jockey Ryan Moore, could only manage a second place finish on the day - in a repeat of Estimate's Gold Cup run yesterday.
Earlier in the week, the Queen's horse Musical Comedy, a highly regarded three-year-old, limped over the line in 18th place in the Jersey Stakes - a race that was eventually taken by the chestnut Mustajeeb, a steed owned by Dubai's crown prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum.
Then disaster struck again in the penultimate race of day two, when the Queen's horse Sea Shanty lost out to Field of Dream, a British bred thoroughbred, and finished in fourth place behind Steeler - a chestnut owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum's Godolphin.

While Cheltenham is famous for pearls and fur, and Aintree for its colourfully dressed fillies in fake tan and skyscraper heels, Royal Ascot's trademark is hats - the bigger and more outlandish the better.
From towering piles of fruit to laser-cut and wide brimmed, almost anything goes, although racegoers are likely to fall foul of the Ascot fashion police should they venture into the Royal Box sporting a fascinator.
Although the majority of racegoers come dressed up to the nines with elegant shift dresses and neat tailoring taking centre stage, recent years have seen Aintree-style bodycon become increasingly popular.
As a result, Ascot organisers have issued a strict dress code which bans bare shoulders and miniskirts, as well as fascinators and anything that shows off a slice of stomach.
Also outlawed are spaghetti straps, or indeed any sort of strap that is less than an inch thick, mismatched trouser suits, halterneck tops and headpieces with a base of less than four inches.
Men, meanwhile, are asked to wear black or grey morning dress which includes a tailcoat, waistcoat and a natty pair of pinstripe trousers, all accessorised with a silk top hat, but with a tie in place of a cravat.
Despite the dress code, each year sees a smattering of bizarrely dressed racegoers fall foul of the fashion police. Last year, milliner David Schilling made headlines when he was ejected from the course thanks to his outlandish get-up. Fellow hat designer Tracey Rose also ran into difficulties with Ascot's style supervisors when her skirt was deemed too short for the Royal Enclosure.

From Sophie Wessex and Princess Eugenie to the Duchess of Cambridge, milliner Jane Taylor, the brains behind the Jane Taylor label, boasts some impressively grand names among her army of devoted fans.
Now Ms Taylor, who has been designing bespoke and ready-to-wear hats since 2008, has been named the hat partner of choice for this year's Royal Ascot.
So what does take to get past the Ascot fashion police and straight onto the best-dressed list? FEMAIL asked Taylor for her top tips - here's what she said:
Favourite client: The Countess of Wessex is elegant in a Jane Taylor hat at the Derby in 2012 and since then, has regularly been photographed in Taylor's designs
'The perfect hat should be flattering for the wearer and confidence boosting,' explains Taylor. 'Finding the right one totally depends on the person wearing it.'
For Taylor, that means taking your face shape and complexion into account when hunting for the perfect Ascot accessory. 'You should always complement your face with the shape of a hat,' insists Taylor. 'For example, if your face is round, wear an angular hat that cuts across your face.
'Or if your face is more angular, soften it was a rounded hat and a soft trim.
If you're wearing a cocktail hat, wear it pointed down so it nearly touches your eyebrow.'
With the perennially popular fascinator banned by Ascot's fashion police this time around, Taylor says it's time to consider swapping it for something a little more exciting.
Along with wide-brimmed hats, options include berets, perchers or Sophie Wessex' favourite small disc shaped hats. 'I would suggest a small cocktail hat,' adds Taylor. 'There are plenty of different shapes to choose from if you'd rather avoid a large brims.'
With designer hats costing more than many Ascot-goers can afford, finding a quality hat on the high street can be a challenge. There is, however, a simple solution.
'I absolutely love coming across vintage millinery,' explains Taylor. 'They are finely made and the quality and finished effect is really outstanding.' Along with costing less than a designer number, vintage hats are also unique which means you won't have to worry about doubling up with another guest.
While not everyone wants to risk ridicule by being spotted out and about in a flamboyant piece of millinery, there's no reason not to try something new.
'Big brims and stylised boater hats are huge news for this summer,' explains Taylor. 'Small tailored cocktail hats, pastels and coral are also a good choice, while aqua and nude are going to be as popular as ever this year.'
Make sure the new hat works with your complexion but don't be afraid to let your personality shine through. 'People choose hats to show off their personality,' adds Taylor, 'and I always admire the people who choose more elaborate pieces as they have the confidence to pull them off.'
The Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex always look impeccably turned out, and that, says Taylor, is because they've nailed the perfect styling formula.
'The perfect Ascot outfit is a simple tailored dress in a classic shape, worn with a exquisite elaborate hat,' explains Taylor, who says the Countess of Wessex is a favourite client.
'I have designed for the Countess of Wessex for many years and she is always a pleasure to work with,' adds Taylor. But it's always lovely to see my pieces worn by the Royal Family.'

The problem with measurements, no matter how well intended they are, is the very act of measuring the item makes it important, and the corollary, the act of not measuring an item makes it unimportant. It is absolutely essential to measure what is important, and not measure what is unimportant.
Measuring SLOC (Which is effectively what your reviews are doing), makes SLOC important.... Is SLOC important? - absolutely not, never has been (Outside Obfuscated programming contests), never will be in a commercial organization.
Ask yourself one simple question - how does "Reduce the SLOC of this routine" make anyones code better. What is probably happening in this case is SLOC is being used as a naive way to measure complexity. What you must avoid at all costs is counting the easy to count beans - objective measures such as SLOC, instead of counting the important, but hard to count ones - e.g. Readability, complexity etc.

It looks like this week we will be covering more federal news pertaining to libraries.
The American Library Association (ALA) and a group of booksellers, writers and publishers ( American Booksellers Association, Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center ) are lobbying Congress to " to exempt library and bookstore records from the provisions of Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, which is scheduled to be renewed this year". The three organizations are challenging the right of the federal government to search library records of " anyone it considers "relevant" to a terrorism investigation, including people who are not."
Since 2003, the Department of Justice has used its expanded power under the Patriot Act to issue more than 200 secret search orders under Section 215 and more than 190,000 National Security Letters (NSLs)
To find out more activities in which the four organizations are involved (like The Campaign for Reader Privacy), please click here. The rest is available at the Library Journal News blog post.

By now you have heard that you should brush your pearly whites twice a day for two minutes each time. This daily habit will help get rid of harmful plaque and oral debris from the flat surfaces of your teeth. But your toothbrush isn't designed to clean the tight spaces in between the teeth, and that's a problem. Unless of course, you floss!
Dental flossers are designed to get into those spaces and remove plaque and debris. You don't even have to floss more than once a day to benefit your teeth and gums.
The best time to floss is….when you do it! While it doesn't particularly matter when you floss, the key is doing it daily. Every time you eat, bits of oral debris gathers around your teeth and gums. Our foods are often sugary and starchy which feeds oral bacteria, causing them to release acids that attack tooth enamel. If acids are allowed to build up on teeth, tiny holes can form, and you end up with cavities. For this reason, many people floss at end of the day so that these don't linger in the mouth overnight (and because going to bed with a clean mouth feels great). But if you are too tired to remember to floss at night, it's perfectly fine to do it during the day instead.
You can experiment finding a flossing method that works best for your needs. You can choose between dental flosses, dental waxes, interdental brushes, oral irrigators, and dental picks–all are designed to get the job done well.
If you would like help finding a good floss option, and how to use it, your dentist is happy to help so that you don't injure your gums as you floss. Give us a call at 910.488.0518 and we will be glad to help. Dr. Kenneth Lewis and our team at Lewis Family Dentistry in Fayetteville, North Carolina, are here for your smile!

A contract employee suspected of setting a fire at a suburban Chicago air traffic control center brought two of the nation's busiest airports to a halt for hours Friday, according to a criminal complaint. The complaint, filed in United States District Court in Chicago, charges the worker, Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville, Ill., with one count of destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. The F.B.I. said that Mr. Howard had been hospitalized with injuries he sustained and that no court date had yet been scheduled. Delays and cancellations rippled from coast to coast after the fire. The ground stoppage at O'Hare and Midway airports immediately raised questions about whether the Federal Aviation Administration has adequate backup plans to keep planes moving when a single facility has to shut down. By late afternoon, about 1,950 flights in and out of Chicago had been canceled. A few flights resumed around midday, but planes were moving at a much-reduced pace, officials said, and no one could be sure when full service would be restored. The early morning fire forced the evacuation of the control center in Aurora, about 40 miles west of downtown Chicago.

A new study from the University of Kent finds that people with low self-esteem use a variety of escape mechanisms to avoid thinking about their own mortality.
Unfortunately, most of the the practices are unhealthy and may even be habit-forming.
Dr. Arnaud Wisman and researchers from Kent found evidence in five studies that people with low self-esteem respond to reminders of their own mortality by directing their focus away from the self.
Investigators determined that people with low self-esteem have unconscious concerns about their own mortality, and often employ a variety of ways to escape from self-awareness. The study demonstrated this link both inside and outside the laboratory.
For example, the escape from self-awareness may be expressed by avoiding writing about oneself, increasing alcohol consumption, and having less self-related thoughts, say the researchers.
In addition to drinking more alcohol in response to a mortality reminder, people with low self-esteem may be more likely to choose to engage in any number of health risk behaviors such as drug use, binge eating, smoking, and cutting that are conducive to escaping self-awareness.
These behaviors would enable them to, at least in the short term, avoid negative self-awareness.
Researchers believe the findings may help inform future health policy discussion leading to more proactive strategies for those with low self-esteem.

You must e-file your Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, if you are filing for 25 or more vehicles, but we encourage e-filing for anyone required to file Form 2290 and who wants to receive quick delivery of their watermarked Schedule 1. With e-file, you'll receive it almost immediately after we accept your e-filed Form 2290.
Step 1: Gather Your Information
- Employer Identification Number. You cannot use your Social Security number
Don't have an EIN? Apply now; allow four weeks for your new EIN to be established in our systems before filing your Form 2290.
- Use the same name. Your e-file name control must match your EIN name.
- Vehicle Identification Number of each vehicle.
- Taxable gross weight of each vehicle.
See Form 2290 instructions for information on how to calculate the taxable gross weight.
Step 2: Choose a 2290 E-file Provider and File
- Review the list of participating commercial software providers and select one from the current tax year that best meets your needs.
- Services offered and fees charged differ by provider.
- You cannot e-file your Form 2290 on IRS.gov. You must use one of the participating commercial software providers.
- Follow the software prompts to complete, sign and e-file your return.
Caution: When using a credit card or debit card to pay your tax, the third-party provider you choose to file your Form 2290 does not charge the tax you owe. You will only be charged their fee. When filing your Form 2290 with the third-party provider, check the "Credit Card" option, then see below and select Pay Your Taxes by Credit or Debit Card to get more information on how to pay the tax with a credit card or debit card.
Step 3: Choose a Payment Option

- Electronic Funds Withdrawal. You can authorize a direct debit as part of the e-file process.
- Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). You must be pre-enrolled; be sure to allow 5-7 business days to get enrolled.
You'll receive your watermarked Schedule 1 from your e-file provider via email after we accept your Form 2290. To avoid problems, ensure the watermark on your printed copy of Schedule 1 is legible before submitting it to your state department of motor vehicles. You may need to reprint with fresh ink or on a different printer to ensure a legible watermark.

Having driven us dotty with her giant obliteration room in Tate Modern 4 years ago, Yayoi Kusama has chosen to keep things a little more intimate for her latest exhibition which opened last week at the Victoria Miro gallery.
If you're after colourful paintings abound with eyes, faces and other abstractions, then it's the Mayfair site you're after. We were keen, however, to rekindle our romance with pumpkins, having previously fallen in love with their big bronze brothers.
We had to (excitedly) ring the bell to gain entry to the cosy Wharf Road site. Leaving our buggy folded in the small gift shop within Gallery I (where original Kusama 'souvenirs' start at £10 for a badge) we headed upstairs starting with the brand new pint-sized and perfectly polished bronze pumpkins. So cute you could just want to collect them up and cuddle them (but please advise against it).
Here we explored the first of three mirrored rooms created especially for this exhibition. For 30 seconds we were treated to infinite black and yellow pumpkins extending from the small space, leaving us desperate to stay for longer and wander the fields and paths that emerged between them.
Back down on the ground floor, a minute in the Chandelier of Grief room provided an odd sensation of falling through the floor, yet my eldest seemed more concerned about our entrapment, than the dazzling lights surrounding us. We steadied ourselves and headed outside into the pretty garden.
The garden – now seemingly extended by the mirrored exterior of Where the Lights in My Heart Go, has been home to Kusama's Narcissus Garden for some time, yet now this sparkly sensation contributes to throwing light into the holes of infinity room number three, creating a universe of twinkly stars, bursting through a clear night sky.
Our last stop was to follow the staggering staircase up to Gallery II (there is a lift if you need it), home to a host of magnificent infinity nets – canvases which capture the artist's continued obsession with multiplying dots. Blown away by the detail, my youngest stood uncomfortably close. The gallery attendant was unusually relaxed, but I was keen for her to view it from a greater distance, especially given the work was apparently reminiscent of Kusama's childhood hallucinations. What better excuse to move her on than to reach the beautifully humble Pumpkin canvas at the end. A fantastic spot to plop down with a scrap of paper or a sketch book and pay homage to Kusama's lifelong love through her very own work of art.
Although this current exhibition lacks the scale of the original Tate show, its subject and presentation certainly feels right at home in this unpretentious neighbourhood gallery. It's high impact, it's bitesize and unbelievably, it's free – providing a winning combination for visiting families liable to bail at any time. It's unsurprising that the team at Wharf Road might feel slightly unprepared for the attention they have been receiving from family visitors. Yes, there is no on-site cafe or baby changing facilities, and no step-free access to the upper-tier of Gallery I, but the relaxed expanse of space and friendly team are going out of their way to ensure families enjoy the work of this world class artist, from the infinity rooms and beyond.
Yayoi Kusama is on at all 3 Victoria Miro galleries until 30th July 2016
Open Tues- Saturday 10am-6pm, closed on Sunday, by appointment only on Monday.
Nearest tube Angel or Old Street (note: neither have lift access)
See website for gallery locations
Admission free

The Three Big Game Names
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Here is the latest news and updates on the three biggest names in the video game industry. Playstation attempts to keep its wide lead in the console gaming market while Xbox and Nintendo continue to release new games and OS updates to their respective machines.
RPG (Role Playing Game) developer Obsidian is rumoured to be making a deal with Microsoft to purchase 90% of the company. Obsidian houses the developers behind such highly acclaimed games as Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: Stick of Truth, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. If this rumoured deal is real, all future games developed by Obsidian will be exclusive to XBox consoles.
While there are hundreds of thousands of Playstation patreons, many of them don't know where Sony got their start in the video games industry. The Playstation Classic aims to change that. The Playstation Classic is a tiny version of the original Playstation, but even though it can practically fit in your palm, it's packed with content. The bite-sized console will contain 20 oldies-but-goldies, including Jumping Flash, Wild Arms, and Final Fantasy 7. You can pick up the Playstation Classic on December 3rd for only $99.99.
The Nintendo Switch was a huge success, but it came with a few bugs. Many people complained about the slightly glitchy controllers, the risk of the console overheating and bending in the dock, and the less-than-stellar storage space. A new version of the console would be an excellent way to iron out all the kinks, and that is exactly what Nintendo's doing. While there is no information on it yet, Nintendo has revealed plans to release a new version of the portable console at some point in 2019. It can be assumed this new Nintendo Switch may be similar in vein to the NEW Nintendo 3DS, which added some much wanted features onto the original 3DS, such as a control stack and ZL/ZR buttons.
