"My greatest desire is to get my picture made with the life-size wax likeness of Harriet Tubman.
If the guards take mercy on me & allow me to indulge in my great attraction …" — David Franks, June 16, 2008.
I first met the Baltimore photographer and writer David Morley when he was a student in Barbara Simon's English class at North County High School (once known as Andover) in Linthicum.
I was a reporter for the Sun, Barbara — president of the Maryland State Poetry & Literary Society until her death in 2007 — was still with us, and Morley was a kid who wanted in on the writing game.
I'm not sure what I told the students that day, probably something about telling stories for the right reasons (because they need to be told.)
Several years later I bumped into Morley at the Daily Grind on Thames Street in Fells Point. He reminded me of my visit to his class, and I soon commissioned him to write a chapter about Holy Trinity parish in Glen Burnie for my People's History of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, released the year Barbara Simon succumbed to pancreatic cancer.
By then, Morley had made a "documentary" worthy of "This is Spinal Tap" in which he plays a Crabtown street poet named Butchie – complete with ridiculous fake mustache — called Southside Survivor, released by Zinnia Films.
The parts about a niece gone wrong, Butchie scaring away a flock of pigeons, and the local delicacy known as "pit beef" are especially memorable. The movie poster is a send-up of the cover of Springsteen's "Born in the USA" album. But Instead of a red baseball cap stuck in the back pocket of Butchie's jeans, it's an old-school Orioles cartoon bird hat.
One summer I took Southside Survivor down the ocean to watch with the kids and their mother. My then-teenaged son and I laughed like idiots. The girls and Mom hated it. That's how good it is.
Now comes Morley with a new film, a video documentary of the January 31, 2010, memorial service for the poet David "Footlong" Franks at the Creative Alliance in Highlandtown.
"I didn't know David Franks very well. I met him a few times when I was slinging coffee at the old Daily Grind, where the maritime museum used to be," said Morley. "I remember hearing his name — that's David Franks, someone told me — and hearing about his work. Our relationship was peripheral at best."
Franks, found dead this past January in his Fells Point apartment just before his 67th birthday, had an epic notoriety as a lothario of letters that led folks to whisper: "that's David Franks."
It might be followed by an embrace or slipping out a side door before David made recognition.
And so it was that David Morley learned more about poet David Franks by filming his memorial at the old Patterson Theater than by serving him coffee back when the Daily Grind felt like a real coffee house, the Orpheum Cinema was upstairs, and Franks was banging out tales on a Hermes 3000 manual typewriter beneath photos of him with Jorge Luis Borges in New Orleans.
"Given the nature of the service and the number of people speaking at the event, I opted to keep video activity to a minimum — using two cameras and shooting the entire memorial and reading without interruption," said Morley. "For me, the most rewarding part was being able to hear the speakers and readers over and over while I edited.
"It's been great to hear people speak of their love for David, his work, his antics," said Morley. "It is also heartfelt and sad to sit with the knowledge that David will never touch our lives in the same way, but will now only reach us across time, through his work, through memory, and, perhaps, as one of the speakers suggested, by entering his phone number in the Safeway rewards terminal in the checkout line."
Of the tributes to Franks captured by Morley, one of the most poignant was Footlong's friend and Foot of Broadway neighbor Glenn Moomau, author of the rock-and-roll road trip memoir, Ted Nugent Condominium, released in 2001 by Tom DiVenti's Apathy Press.
Here are Moomau's remarks to the crowd of about 150 friends and admirers of David Franks who gathered to eat, laugh, recite, remember, and pray.
"What you just watched and heard was proof that David's art always led him in brilliant directions, in this case working with a hand bell choir and a videographer in presenting one of his compositions.
"Throughout his life he sought collaborators of all kinds for their knowledge, technical advice, and inspiration. It helped, too, if that partner had the emotional fortitude, and the patience of Job, to follow his vision.
"He worked with an oceanographer, dead poets such as John Keats, and those unfortunate people in New Orleans who called his phone by mistake. He sought the expertise of sound engineers, other poets, lovers, visual artists, at least one tug boat company, and even the drunken bar patrons who David enjoyed recording as they fought in the alley outside his apartment.
"David loved the word 'collaboration' and his work with others could be roughly categorized either as 'voluntary' or 'involuntary.' The collaborations with Keats, who is dead, and the wrong-number callers, were most definitely involuntary arrangements.
"I know that some of you aren't sure into which category your collaboration with David fell; for some, it started out voluntary, and then things, well, it went…ahhh…yeah. 'Kill you later, motherfucker,' as David often said in lieu of goodbye.
"David and I had nearly two decades of unbroken friendship precisely because I refused ALL of his offers — and they were many and constant. David's first known involuntary collaboration happened when he was a boy. With a tape recorder he'd gotten as a birthday present, he recorded the arguments between his parents that began after his mother discovered that his father had a girlfriend.
"He did this by holding a microphone to his bedroom wall's heating vent and capturing an echoing, distorted version of his parents' voices. Late night after late night he made these recordings — this went on for weeks! Screaming, crying, cursing; murmuring, beseeching, and plain cold logic. The fights got ugly. On at least one night, it got violent.
"How terrible that must have been for David, who loved and admired his parents, especially his father. But in those recordings, he would later discover one of his methods, which was the transfiguration of human voices, turning suffering into beauty, using all manner of conceptual brilliance to do so.
"All of you know that when you called him and he wasn't answering the phone, even then he was inviting your collaboration. It didn't matter if you were a friend, a bill collector, or an exasperated landlord. For at least 19 years, David's voice mail message never changed: 'You have reached a recording of David Franks. If you would like, please leave a recording of your own.'
"When I saw David for the last time, a week before his death, he told me that he was worried about becoming isolated, having just moved to a new apartment back in Fells Point. This was nothing new for David: isolation was one of David's recurring fears, and so it makes sense that for all of his productive life he didn't want to be that lonely boy hiding out with a tape recorder full of terrible voices, but wanted to work with others to make beautiful things.
- "And what beautiful things he did make with the help, advice, love and — sometimes, lack of consent — of others! Some of these collaborations are still in progress. Over a decade ago, David was bemoaning to me how difficult it would be to realize his most ambitious collaboration, one that he wanted to make, essentially, with The Entire City of Baltimore.
"It doesn't matter that this project has yet to be finished: In this case, as in many others, David's reach exceeded his grasp. He didn't have enough time; he didn't enough money, and he didn't have a helicopter, which was part of big plan.
"Yet he still figured out a way to leave us with the project's simple and lovely 'David Franks brilliance,' captured at its moment of conception: As I read this, please note how many actual and potential collaborations exist in these few words:
Last summer in the car on the way back from recording the magi-cicadas this happened:
"…suddenly . I'm composing a piece in my head . of Carillons. & . church bells . connecting one to the other. Over tones.
Touching to carry a song in a ring ringing around the entire city at dawn.
steeple to steeple
One song . of unity . praise . & joy — transparent!
& I tell . Becky Bafford . my simple transcendent vision
Fearfully . as such simple beauty . mostly seems madness
Until it's heard . but she says . "oh that's beautiful!"
"I know you will do it" . & . I'm thinking . yes . probably
I will…

Afghan? Throw? Blanket? What the heck is the correct name? I don't know, but it's finished.
This is the closest I will ever get to a chevron. As you know, I'm not a fan of the chevron craze. But for a ripple blanket/throw/afghan, I will make an exception. I've done one other ripple throw and it lives upstairs on our bed. That particular ripple design has a gentler curve:
This one has a more angular ripple and it skips two stitches, creating the charming little opening in the design. I have to say I really like this sort of scrappy look. I had a basic color scheme in mind, inspired by the red and tan in our den, but I added purples and greens and grays and creams as well. Each time I came to the end of a row, I made a spontaneous choice as to the next color and went with it. I also used various yarn weights and textures which can result in a wonky edge, which is why I crocheted a border around the whole thing.
It's about 4 feet by 6 feet. Perfect for Don and I when we sit together on the sofa. Perfect to nap under. And for me, solo – I used it the other night as I watched "The Rifleman." I love Lucas and Mark McCain. Ripples are addictive; I may have to start another one. How many ripples can one have? And now I'm reminded of that dreadful Ripple wine we drank in college. I prefer this ripple.
By the way, I used inexpensive yarns from Michael's and Joanne's. A crochet project of this size is a huge yarn-eater. The more expensive yarns would be cost prohibitive for this gal.
Drum roll. The obligatory photo of Scout with the throw:
The whole thing has left her in a state of exhaustion.
Yesterday was a big day for the kitchen floor. Not only did I spread the afghan/throw/blanket out on it so that I could get a photo, I moved the table and chairs out of the room so that I could pin baste my quilt:
Lots of ironing, lots of cursing, lots of moving around on my knees (not so fun at my age). But, surprisingly, it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.
I have a quilt frame out in the shed that I've used for basting purposes in the past. I took a moment to venture out there and briefly considered using it again for this. But it's really long, it's in the back of the shed and it's icy out there, so I went with the floor method. This is the perfect thing to do when Don is away. Keeping Ms. Scout out of the kitchen, however, was another story. There were a few sneaky attempts to walk on the quilt.
And I crocheted another obsession scarf for a customer. Where the heck did I get all this energy? You'll notice I didn't use it for cleaning closets, organizing drawers, sorting through paperwork and…shredding.
Can you blame me?
Happy Sunday.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Indian actress Freida Pinto urged the world on the International Day of the Girl Child to ensure that 66 million girls who are not in school today get an education.
The "Slumdog Millionaire" star told an event sponsored by the U.N. children's fund, UNICEF marking Friday's second annual observance of the international day that she had a chance to be educated and "I feel every girl in the world, in respect of where she comes from, what her social status is, needs to be given the same,"
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake was presented with a "Girl Declaration" from thousands of people around the world at the event calling on world leaders to urgently address the plight of 250 million girls worldwide who currently live in poverty and face discrimination.

Thanks for the answer Paul. But this prompts the following question: If the base type included several enumeration element information items as the way to define its value space, and only some of them had fixed="true", what would this mean? Now turning to "aesthetics" (by which I mean, are the various features of the schema language symmetric with each other, so I don't have to remember too many special cases): It appears to me that the design in the CR specs is an assymetry between complexType's and simpleType's. complexType final="true" not only says you can't change the content model in a derived type, but that you can't even have something identical but which just has a new name (and whose name might appear in instance documents using the xsi:type attribute, or might "inherit" the ability to be considered part of a substitution group (I am not sure Structures allows this ... but that takes us too far afield)). Although you are correct that I can put fixed="true" on every facet of a simpleType, this still does not prevent someone from deriving something with identical facets and giving it a new name. And if anyone uses your algorithm of putting fixed="true" on every facet (as a way of saying: do not derive from this type), and a few years from now we have Schema Language 2.0 which defines additional facets (e.g. units or dimensions or whatever), I'll have to remember not only to change the namespace for the schema language but to add to my simpleType the defaults for the new facets along with "fixed=true".

I am in the process of turning my website into a commercial subscription service, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good piece of password protection software for the purpose?
I would like it to be able to
1. Be compatible with a credit-card processing system like WorldPay
2. Be able to block use of the same username / password if used by more than a specified amount of IP addresses
3. Be able to remind subscribers when they need to renew their membership and be able to process such renewals.
Many thanks!

I love pretty pictures. And I always strive to create something beautiful in my work.
But sometimes. A moment can really overwhelm me.
More than anything else I've learned this year, I am figuring out that what I want more than a pretty picture, is an honest moment.
A moment that makes tears well up in my eyes it is so good.
I want that. And that's what pushes me into 2012. That's what I am marveling at, looking back at 2011.
These moments make my heart swell with gratitude when I look at them, because I am better person because you let me experience these moments with you. I am better because of you.
Let the beauty you love be what you do.

If you've been lamenting the decline of film camera formats such as Super-8, there is good news. A Danish company is rolling out a brand-new, state-of-the-art Super-8 film camera. This is not a typo. Someone thinks there might be a market for Super-8 cameras in the $3,000 USD range.

Of course the new 2013 Mac Pro isn't out yet so I haven't tried one. I'm only going on the specs but in this case I think that's enough to make a good decision. The answer is no.

I've previously commented a number of times about the frame rate of cinematic movies (e.g. here and here). I've mentioned that I think the current rate of 24p is a deficiency that will inevitably be fixed, but it won't be an easy transition for some people. There are those, especially in the film industry, who are very attached to 24p and who feel that faster frame rates are a threat to the art of film.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It is only eight years old, but the downtown Louisville Marriott Hotel has just undergone a $6 million renovation.
All 616 rooms of the hotel, including a number of suites, received a major upgrade.
The rooms and 25 suites were completely redesigned and refurnished.
Brighter lighting in the bathrooms, new plugs and outlets for all of those electronic gadgets,and 42-inch HD TVs in every room.
"The hotel opened in April of 2005; it has been a Four Diamond hotel since the opening, so that was one of our key priorities to maintain a very high level of excellence," says Paul Kiley, area director of sales and marketing for Marriott.
The concierge lounge and the spa, pool and fitness center were also renovated.
Normally such a project takes six months to complete but this one was finished in just 54 days.
"We had four crews working at the same time," says Kiley, "and did a lot of logistics to make sure all of that worked together and got the entire project done between mid December to the first week in February."
The fast work means the hotel will be ready for its busiest time of the year, Derby weekend, just nine weeks away.
Sixty-five percent of the hotel's business comes from conventions and groups.
Kiley says the hotel business is strong again following the Great Recession of 2008.
"Especially during the second half of last year," explains Kiley, "we really started to see people move and travel more; I would say much like the global economy people are cautiously optimistic and things are improving at a slow but steady pace."
The Marriott is just across Jefferson Street from the Louisville International Convention Center where renovation plans are being discussed by civic leaders in an effort to make the city more attractive in the highly competitive convention business.
Kiley hopes those renovations will become a reality so his hotel and other in the community remain competitive and their business will continue to grow.
"The more functional that space at the convention center becomes," says Kiley, "the more we will become competitive with other cities."
Kiley says the old blankets, mattresses and lamps at the Marriott were donated to nine local charities.

Appetite for Destruction - Encounters with Mick Wall
Whether it's hanging around with Marillion's Fish in Berlin, seeing Whitesnake fail to ignite 1985's Rock in Rio, talking through old times with Jimmy Page in his Berkshire pile or following Ozzy Osbourne to Moscow, there isn't a rock luminary that Wall hasn't cross-examined or kept the flame burning with at some point over the last thirty years.
Here, amongst several pieces, he catches Lars Ullrich just on the cusp of world domination; has dinner with Ritchie Blackmore on the eve of a Deep Purple comeback; and is up all night in LA with W. Axl Rose.
APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION gathers together Wall's journalism for Kerrang!, for whom he was the star writer in their eighties heyday. It also features brand-new introductions to all the pieces, written with maybe less hair but also the benefit of twenty years' hindsight.

HOUSTON, Texas (KPRC) – Authorities in Houston, Texas are seeking the public's help in identifying a burglary suspect who is seen on home video surveillance walking through the victims' home and staring at their infant while they slept.
On April 5, Harris County Sheriff's deputies responded to the residence located in the 18200 block of Flint Hill Drive in west Harris County.
The homeowner told deputies he was notified by a neighbor that his laptop computer and a briefcase were found in a neighbor's yard.
Deputies say the homeowner stated the items were in his residence when he went to bed the night before.
The burglar also took $60 in cash from a wallet.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male who is 16 to 18 years old. He was wearing a New Era baseball cap with a San Antonio Spurs logo on the brim. He also has a tattoo behind his right ear, possibly of Asian characters.
Thrinh Le said when he saw the chilling images of the intruder in his son's bedroom he got sick to his stomach.
"As soon as I know we got broke into I went upstairs right away and check on him and kiss him so hard," he said. "I was so happy to see he's okay."
Le doesn't know what the burglar was looking for in the baby's room. His son is 2 1/2 and he said there is nothing of value in there.
The burglar was in the home for about five minutes, Le said he got in through an unlocked front window.
"Its just one of those nights I wasn't careful," he said.
Le and his wife have an alarm system and usually set it, but on this one particular night, they said they forgot. They also have a dog but have been training him not to bark because he wakes up the baby.
The dog, Le and his wife were all asleep in the first floor master bedroom when the break-in happened. Their son's bedroom is on the second floor.
Le said the burglar is bold because he knew he was being recorded.
"He looked up at the camera and saw it and he make some statement that I'm here and I don't care," said Le.

Posts Tagged 'romance with creativity'
Why some people just don't want to be a bit romantic? Most of them believe that they don't have in them to be a romantic. Creativity is in everyone and anyone can create something new. Most people have a very limited knowledge of the word creativity but it offers a lot than their expectations.
Giving flowers or candies as gift s are just fine but sometimes you have to think a bit better than that. Well if your partner is fond of flowers and you could not think of anything better to present them as a gift then you should give them a flower whose petals could be counted, not red roses that will lose their charm just after few hours. Ask your partner to play the game of love me or love me not with the flower petals and give them flowers after counting the petals so that they always end up on they love me.
Arts and some other home made projects were once an exciting break from boredom of the class, but it can help you in creating some romantic gestures. Simply making the promises of love is not just enough. Show some creativity when you are expressing your love to them cut a piece of paper and write "I Love You" on either side of the paper. Twist it in such a way that it takes shape of figure 8 and present this to love loved one.
Creativity doesn't mean giving creative and thoughtful gifts it has many other meanings it also means to change the whole atmosphere around you. Spend an evening with your loved one at home imitating an outage of power and try to keep each other warm.
If you are in a flight then you ask any of the flight attends to help you out. They will help you out and they will give some special present to your loved one. They will be more than happy to help you out.
You don't have to give out gifts to your loved ones to show some creativity some gestures like dancing with the loved ones also very creative. Be creative and do whatever you want.

Informal breakfasts become an important venue for dialogue on post-2015 development agenda
- A series of informal breakfast meetings at the Bahá'í International Community have provided an important venue for diplomats, UN officials and NGOs to discuss the post-2015 development agenda.
- Topics have ranged from financing to peace and security.
- Chatham House Rules help create an atmosphere for frank consultation and exchange.
- As of December 2014, there have been 22 such meetings since July 2012.
NEW YORK — Can the world effectively move forward with a post 2015 development agenda if most countries are mired in policies of economic austerity?
To what extent do conflict and violence prevent the world from meeting development goals?
What kinds of new partnerships are needed in the face of increasing south-south development exchanges?
What new financial arrangements are needed to pay for global development?
These were among the questions explored over the last year at a series of breakfast dialogues at the offices of the Bahá'í International Community in New York, which were co-sponsored by the BIC and International Movement ATD Fourth World.
Designed to bring together diplomats, UN officials and representatives of civil society in an informal setting, the meetings have created an important venue for the free exchange of ideas as governments consider how to replace the much-acclaimed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which expire in 2015.
In each session, public remarks were offered by specialists on a given topic, followed by a general, off-the-record discussion, using Chatham House Rules, which allow remarks to be recorded but not attributed. As of December 2014, there have been 22 such meetings since July 2012.
"The main purpose of these meetings has been to create a space for dialogue that also allows diplomats and civil society to talk freely and also to listen," said Cristina Diez, the main representative to the United Nations of ATD Fourth World.
"We feel we have succeeded. People give opinions in a free way where everyone can think about them and see the merits and bring points about how these ideas may be implemented.
"Another thing is we do it regularly. I haven't seen any other space at the UN like this. There are many meetings with panels or roundtables. But most of the time is for speakers to give their point of view. There is very little time for dialogue.
"We have had very supportive feedback. One diplomat said: 'This is a space where I can listen to ideas without anyone trying to sell me anything or convince me that I have to do this or that.'" said Ms. Diez.
October 2013:Financial requirements
In October 2013, the meeting explored how the world can meet the financial requirements for a new post-2015 development agenda.
Eduardo Gálvez, deputy permanent representative of Chile to the UN, and Shari Spiegel of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs were featured speakers on 22 October.
They issued a broad plea for new mechanisms to finance the next set of goals, adding that such mechanisms should ultimately focus on creating enabling environments at the domestic and international levels to facilitate long term sustainable economic growth.
"We live in a globalized world and you need an international enabling environment," said Mr. Gálvez. "And that means some changes with regard to trade and investment."
Both also emphasized the importance of creating incentives to help shift investors from short-term to long-term thinking.
"We need good governance, we need good institutions, we need the rule of law, and we need a strong policy framework," said Ms. Siegel. She said institutional investors, with some $85 trillion in assets at their disposal, won't invest in sustainable development unless there is a solid framework domestically and internationally to mitigate risk.
Participants said there is a need to change fundamentally patterns of consumption and production, because the world is now understood as finite in its resources, and it is clear humanity is "over-consuming."
November 2013: Partnerships in a changing world
In November 2013, the dialogue explored the kinds of new partnerships that will be needed after 2015, especially in view of the changing relationships between donors and recipients in a more globalized world.
Ambassador Jean-Francis Régis Zinsou, permanent representative of the Republic of Benin to the UN, said on 19 November that any attempt to frame a new goal along the lines of MDG 8, which calls simply for the world to "develop a global partnership for development," must take into account the fact that today "we are not talking about 'a partnership' — we are talking about 'partnerships,'" which will encompass the whole range of new actors and trends in development.
The focus, said Mr. Zinzou, should ultimately be to provide resources for poverty eradication, which he considers to the main overall goal of any new development agenda.
Navid Hanif, director of the Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination at the UN, said the targets set for MDG 8 — which included improvements to the international trading system, dealing with debt, improving information and communications technologies — were imprecise and vague. "Many labeled it as the weakest link," he said, adding that its "weak accountability" meant that its achievement "was based largely on goodwill."
He said the international community should consider a "partnership" goal with a "robust accountability and measuring mechanism."
"It should also be inclusive, people-centered, and transparent," said Mr. Hanif, "and it should promote mutual learning and have feedback loops from the local to the global level."
Such an agenda, he said, would address all the global challenges such as "climate change, inequality, migration, unemployment, and de-carbonization of our economies."
December 2013: Impact of conflict and violence
The meeting in December 2013 considered the impact of violence and conflict on meeting the goals of any new development agenda.
"We can't eradicate poverty without eradicating violence," said Andrew Tomlinson, the director of the Quaker UN Office, which co-sponsored the meeting with the BIC and ATD Fourth World on 17 December. "In many societies [where conflict is prevalent], the development aid process is like pouring water into a bucket with holes."
Sarah Cliffe, assistant secretary-general of Civilian Capacities to the UN, said the threat of conflict and violence affects everything from whether children are able to go to school safely to the inability to access jobs, health care or education, whether because of conflict or high levels of crime.
"The impact of violence and conflict on social and economic development is deep," said Dr. Cliffe. "Many countries have seen their development held back by these factors."
Dr. Cliffe and other participants said new development goals could include measurable targets for good governance, institution building, and political processes that increase basic safety and security, justice, and confidence building.
When security and stability are re-established and sustained in post-conflict societies, said Dr. Cliffe, great development gains can be made. She cited Ethiopia, Mozambique and Rwanda as examples, noting for example that between 1990 and 2009, Ethiopia quadrupled access to improved water, while Mozambique tripled its primary school completion rate from 1999 to 2007.
"Building the justice system was not part of the MDGs," she said. "For many countries, this will require international assistance," said Dr. Cliffe. "And we know that institution building takes time. It can take a generation."
Kavita Desai, advisor to the Permanent Mission of Timor-Leste to the UN, discussed efforts to end and then heal the decades-long conflict there in the early 2000s, noting that her country had achieved stability and security — which allowed recently for double-digit economic growth.
She called violence "development in reverse," noting that while MDGs were good, their focus was mainly limited to "water, health, and education" since the world community was unable or unwilling to address larger, more politically sensitive questions related to conflict.
February 2014: Austerity verses development
In February 2014, the focus was on the impact that national austerity measures might have on financing for development, exploring also the relation between domestic cut-backs in social programs and the rising tide of protests around the world.
Matthew Cummins, a policy specialist in UNICEF's Public Finance and Local Governance Unit, said domestic austerity measures taken in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis had severely reduced budgets — and especially social programs — in most of the world.
"About 50 percent of countries worldwide cut their budgets in 2010-2012 — and the overall size of that contraction was about 2.2 percent," said Mr. Cummins. "And if we look at spending through this year, which I call the 'intensification of contraction' phase, we can see that 100 countries are going to be cutting their budgets by an amount of 3.3 percent of GDP."
These kinds of cuts will leave little room to fund the post-2015 development agenda, said Mr. Cummins, since overseas development aid is declining and "what we are really talking about in funding development is domestic resource mobilization."
Mr. Cummins identified seven areas where governments could find enough "financial space" to provide more funds for development. These included: efforts to make taxes more progressive, the elimination of tax havens, and the restructuring of debt.
Sara Burke, a senior policy analyst with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, a German NGO, said the austerity policies of governments around the world have been a major factor in the increasing number of anti-government protests in recent years.
Citing a study she co-authored that analyzed world protests between 2006 and 2013, she said the main grievance expressed during the 843 anti-government protests they analyzed was a call for economic justice and against austerity.
"People need decent jobs, living wages and acceptable living conditions," she said. "They want food they can afford."
Another key demand was "the cry for real democracy," she said, noting that nearly half of the protests indicated some level of "discontent with the workings of government."
"The problem is much more than austerity… A real transformation is needed in terms of policy shifts" if the world is to meet any kind of development agenda, she said.
April 2014: "Break down the silos"
In April 2014, the topic was climate change but the discussion focused largely on how to counteract the tendency among policy makers to consider the main issues facing humanity — poverty, climate change, women's advancement, and so on — as separate problems.
Francois Gave, counselor of the Permanent Mission of France to the UN, said global problems must be seen as interrelated — and so must the overall approach in any development agenda.
"Problems tend to be more and more complex," said Mr. Gave. "We must try to break down the silos" that confine each issue. For example, he said, "climate change cannot be addressed in isolation" of other issues such as poverty, access to water, desertification and, even, violence.
Held 25 April, the specific topic of the meeting was "Post-2015 and climate: Highlighting appropriate environmental targets for the SDGs." Mr. Gave was joined in the discussion by Abigail Jones, a managing director at Climate Advisors, a Washington, DC-based consultancy.
Ms. Jones noted that the latest scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says global warming and other coming climate impacts are likely to affect the world's poor disproportionately.
At the same time, she said, while climate change has global relevance, "countries have different priorities and different capacities to address it."
She agreed there is a growing consensus that any future goals in relation to climate change or sustainable development should be interlinked with cross-cutting effects related to food, water, poverty and disaster risk, among other issues.
June 2014: The end of "North" and "South"
In June 2014, the breakfast session examined the degree to which globalization has meant the end of "differentiation" in concerns and responsibilities for development.
Traditionally, development has been seen as something done by the rich for the poor. The "developed" nations "helped" the "less developed."
That view is increasingly called into question in the face of rising middle income countries, growing inequalities in the North, and the realization that some problems — like climate change — affect everyone.
The topic, "Universality, differentiation, and our shared responsibilities," generated a wide range of insights about the evolution of thinking about development, development assistance, and international cooperation.
"As we know, the whole UN development cooperation system functions more or less on the basis of a north-south set up," said Guilherme de Aguiar Patriota, Deputy Permanent Representative of Brazil to the UN, who offered opening remarks at 11 June event.
"But it is not well equipped for south-south cooperation. And most of the resources that we are funneling toward development are of the voluntary kind."
At the Rio+20 conference two years ago, he said, governments decided that proposed sustainable development goals (SDGs) should be "universal in nature."
"This is very different from North-South — it is something that would apply to the developed countries, too," he said, adding, as well, that even in the United States now, "inequality" has become an issue.
"The world is now more like a continuum across the scale of development," he added, "rather than a binary division of the world."
Following Mr. Patriota's opening remarks, there was a general discussion about "common but differentiated responsibilities" (CBDR) and universality. Among other things, participants said that new development goals cannot be met without some level of overseas development assistance (ODA) from "developed" countries; that private sources of funds will also be needed; and that "rich" countries cannot be expected to pay for everything.
October 2014: The role of civil society
In October 2014, the focus was on civil society and its role in helping to create and implement the post-2015 development agenda.
"We are talking about a profound transformation of society," said Csaba Kőrösi, permanent representative of Hungary to the UN, speaking on 29 October, about the potential of the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Implementing such sweeping changes will require a profound transformation in our global mindset, he said, adding that civil society organizations are among the best positioned to inspire that kind of change.
Ambassador Kőrösi said that while technology has facilitated such transformations in human society in the past, setting SDGs is different because of its deliberative process.
"We have never tried to design the process in the course of the development of human history," said Ambassador Kőrösi.
To implement the proposed SDGs, which range from "ending poverty everywhere" to "ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns," new coalitions and institutional mechanisms will be required, said Ambassador Kőrösi.
"You were the first among all stakeholders, to recognize that we need a transformation," he said. "A transformation that will start in minds."
Joe Colombano, a senior officer and economic advisor in the Executive Office of the UN Secretary General, said civil society plays a key role in providing an outside perspective — and a level of passion — to the SDG deliberations and subsequent implementation.
"It is the main responsibility of the international community to listen to these voices to ensure we leave no one behind," said Mr. Colombano.
November 2014: Social protection can stimulate growth
In November 2014, at the 21st such breakfast meeting, the focus was on "social protection floors" and their relation to the post-2015 agenda.
One idea that emerged was that efforts to provide minimum education, income and pensions for people across all ages can be a source of economic growth for countries, rather than a drag on national budgets.
"I believe we have to look at social protection floors not as an expenditure but as an investment," said Mateo Estreme, deputy permanent representative of Argentina to the UN, speaking on 20 November 2014.
"And it is not only an investment in the human resources of the country but also, I believe, an important way of promoting growth."
Mr. Estreme said economic growth was among the many reasons that strong language promoting social protection floors should be included in the SDGs.
"Our motto for post-2015 is 'no one left behind,' and with these social protection floors, the main purpose is to not leave anyone behind," said Ambassador Estreme.
"From early childhood until old age, social protection floors are a way of introducing the idea that all sectors of society, at all ages, should be included, should be protected, and should have income, security, access to health services, education services and so forth," said Mr. Estreme.
Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, agreed that the economic benefits of good social protection floors make their inclusion in the SDGs a very rational decision.
He added, however, that social protection should also be cast in terms of human rights — so that states will feel more obligated to provide minimum levels of social security once new SDGs are agreed on.
"The current draft avoids the use of human rights," said Mr. Alston. "The consensus we can take from this is that human rights are not relevant, let alone even central, to the development process.
"I think we have to push back on that," he said, speaking to a mixed group of diplomats, UN agency officials and representatives of civil society.
Prof. Alston said the language used in the SDGs will matter very much.
He said, for example, that the World Bank seems to prefer the default phrase "safety net" to "social protection floor."
The word "net" implies "a number of bureaucrats making fine line decisions" about what social protections to provide, he said.
However, he said, if social protections are cast as human rights, along the lines of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, then the SDGs "will be much more robust."
Prof. Alston and Mr. Estreme also spoke about the importance of establishing well considered indicators and targets in the SDGs.
"If there isn't accountability under implementation, then the work will have little impact," said Prof. Alston.

#74: No, I Am Not Compensating for AnythingOct
Date: March 27th, 1601 S.A.
My Mood Is: jubilant
We all knew that, of course, but isn't it nice to see it in person?
Ladies and Gentlemen, Slaves and Thralls, I give you — Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower! Five thousand feet tall, 1,400 rooms, 223 staircases, 118 separate prisons and torture chambers; 450 storeys from the deepest forgotten lockhole in the lowest dungeon, to the very pinnacle where my inner sanctum, the Window of the Eye, looks out over all of Mordor!
And it took a day to build! Yes, a DAY!
Of course, I spent about half a millennium gathering together the millions of tons of iron and obsidian; planning and preparing; and building the veritable city of outbuildings that support the main structure. And there was the problem of building foundations that would support a mile-high tower. But with the ONE RING, my friends, all things are possible. I just willed the darn thing into existence, and a few hours later, there it was! It was just like the good ol' days, before the Revolt of the Treasonous Valar, when we Ainur just made anything we wanted, whenever we wanted, from the Flame Imperishable!
Now I'm exhausted, but who cares? Once I get the Dark Tower truly up and running, I can set out in war against the insipid Elves of Eregion and their Lindonian allies. Soon all of Eriador will run red with THE BLOOD OF THE NOLDOR! AND THE ELVEN RINGS SHALL BE MINE!
Cough cough! Crap, I'm too tired for all this yelling.
The designs for the Dark Tower went through several iterations, actually. At one point it was like a 10-mile-high needle, meant to penetrate the clouds and keep watch on all Middle-earth. Then I thought of having to climb up and down one 60,000-step staircase all day long, and ditched that idea. Then I got all caught up with an article I read in an in-flight magazine, whatever that is, and decided to go ranch-style — one storey tall and 20 miles wide. That was sure stupid.
I even had a version — the plans were laid out and everything — with giant obsidian horns on the top of the tower, and I would manifest between the horns all day long as a giant flaming eye! I would look like a humongous lighthouse! Isn't that the dumbest thing you ever heard???
No, the version I built is the best version. I have replaced my lame Annatar robes with some appropriately spiky black armor, and I shall sit at my new Window of the Eye and keep watch over my minions. And soon, when all is ready, I SHALL MARCH ON ERIADOR AND CLEANSE IT OF THE ACCURSED ELDAR!
Cough! Cough! I gotta lie down.

Who is well-spoken, has worked for both Thomas Keller in Napa and Brian Malarkey in San Diego and is changing things up in Costa Mesa? That would be one Carlos Anthony at Taco Asylum. If you didn't know that the asylum broke off from the Haven Collective (Haven Gastropub and Provisions Market in Old Towne Orange), now you do. Owner Ace Patel and his tight-knit team have reworked the menu and are ready to rock and roll, kicking off their newest creations last week.
The most obvious changes to the menu are price and selection. Six-inch tortillas, crammed with meaty classics like carnitas or vegetarian with roasted peppers and black beans start at $3.75. The most expensive bites are a shrimp duo, either pad thai or wasabi style for $6.75. Hover over your metal serving tray, since tasty morsels will spill out (or suffer the consequences, like my dress did).
Of course, I didn't want to forget more fanciful flavors like their bacon pb & j with pickled Fresno chili, duck in Oaxacan mole (an Anthony family recipe) or their flaming hot Firepig with red jalapenos. Vegetarian tastes can order a curried paneer or brie and mushroom combination. I was almost taken aback by fresh fried potato chips and spicy 'n sweet dessert nachos. Their goal to broaden the scope but maintain character is reached.
If you haven't been back in a while, now is a good time to check things out. When ordering your beer, be sure to inquire about their chef's prescription. Last time it was headcheese. Future specials may include mako shark and a few other surprises. Yum!

I have always admired the Too Faced - Chocolate Palette as it looks beautiful and reminds me of the film charlie and the chocolate factory with its really well made palette. Too faced chocolate palette has 16 eye shadows which are inspired by none other then one of my favorite things ... chocolate. It smells so amazing exactly like chocolate. The price sounds a little bit expensive at £45 but if you bought that many eye shadows at lets say MAC it would cost a lot more then this.
The palette has 16 shades that are mainly neutral with a mixture of matte and shimmers, everyone of them has amazing colour pay off in my opinion and you can get a fabulous look so much quicker with this palette even without the eye shadow primer.
Glided Ganache
White Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
Salted Caramel
Black Forest Truffle
Triple Fudge
Strawberry Bon Bon
Candied Violet
Creme Brulee
Haute Chocolate
Cherry Cordial
Champagne Truffle
These shades sound like a big box of chocolates yummy!!
Too faced are a cruelty free brand and has to be one of my favorite premium brands, they have a great selection of vegan makeup too. I know it sounds expensive but I would recommend this to everyone as it cruelty free and the shades are perfect for everyday wear.
You can get Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette over at Beauty Bay for £45

Press ReleasesWhy Musicians Can't Toot their Horns with New Veneers
CHICAGO (November 19, 2007) - We all know that everyone needs to see a dentist, and everyone's mouth is different. But certain patients use their mouths in different ways than the average dental patient. Musicians who use their mouths to play musical instruments have very specialized needs of which their dentists need to be aware. The slightest change in their mouth—be it the position of their teeth, tongue, or jaw—can significantly impact the way they play their instruments. Special attention must be paid to dental treatment for musicians, according to an article in the September 2007 issue of AGD Impact, the monthly newsmagazine of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).
An important part of a musician's life is something called embouchure, which is defined as "the term wind musicians use when they refer to the way their mouths rest against the instrument they play. More precisely, embouchure embodies the use of the lips, tongue, mouth, and facial muscles applied to a mouthpiece to produce good tone, range, and endurance while playing a brass or wind instrument." Eric K. Curtis, DDS, MAGD, lead author of the article, says that embouchure requirements are different for each instrument. "Even the most minimal dental treatment can affect embouchure," he says.
Dr. Curtis advises musicians to make their dentists aware of the way they play their instruments and even to bring the instrument to the dentist's office to show him or her the way the instrument is played. It is also a good idea for a musician to keep an extra mold of his or her mouth so that in the event of an emergency, he or she can show the dentist how the mouth should look.
Certain treatments are particularly important for wind and brass musicians. "Anterior dentistry, which includes bonding and veneers, can significantly change the way a musician moves his or her mouth when playing an instrument," Dr. Curtis says. "That is why it is very important for musicians to discuss treatments with a dentist to determine the best way to remedy the problem without changing the embouchure."
Ways musicians can preserve embouchure:
• Communicate with your dentist! Tell him or her that you are a musician and explain the way you play your instrument, pointing out your individual embouchure.
• Bring your instrument to the dentist's office and show him or her how you play your instrument.
• Keep an extra mold of your mouth and teeth so that in the event of a dental emergency you can show the dentist how your mouth and teeth should look.
The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is a professional association of more than 35,000 general dentists dedicated to staying up-to-date in the profession through continuing education. Founded in 1952, the AGD has grown to become the world's second largest dental association, which is the only association that exclusively represents the needs and interests of general dentists. A general dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, management and overall coordination of services related to patients' oral health needs.

Bharara Says U.S. Budget Dispute May Damage Prosecutions
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara warned that a U.S. budget impasse may leave his office without enough prosecutors to effectively pursue cases.
Bharara said today at the Bloomberg Markets 50 Summit in New York that he's worried a hiring freeze might continue if budget disputes persist and lead to a government shutdown. Although his office has no shortage of applicants, it has been unable to replace lawyers who have left recently, he said.
"If I'm not able to replace prosecutors that are excellent for another two years, the level of prosecution, the level of holding institutions accountable, is going to go down," he said. "People should be worried about that."
Under Bharara's watch, more than 70 people have pleaded guilty or been convicted of insider-trading charges. His latest high-profile target, Steven Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors LP, is said to be in talks to settle insider-trading charges.
Congress faces a deadline to agree on a federal spending plan before the government's fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Dear Mr. Berko: I'm a veterinarian and the accountant doing my taxes recently retired. In searching for a tax preparer I've discovered that there is a professional called an "enrolled agent." I was going to select a CPA but my dentist friend uses an enrolled agent and tells me that this professional would be better than a CPA. Please tell me what the difference is between an enrolled agent and a CPA. I also need advice on selecting either the Florida College Investment Plan or the Florida Prepaid Tuition plan for my three children who are 6, 8 and 9 years old. I've been very successful in the market over the past few years and think I can pick good funds to buy, so I really prefer the investment plan.
Port Charlotte, Fla.
Dear H.P.: An enrolled agent is a tax preparer licensed by the federal government who can prepare your tax return as well as represent you in any dealings you have with the IRS. Most enrolled agents are former IRS employees who worked for the IRS for a minimum of five years in positions that require extensive knowledge of, as well as interpretation and application of, tax regulations. Other enrolled agents (they are in the minority) have passed an extremely thorough and comprehensive federal exam that audits their familiarity on all aspects of federal rules and regulations. Their laser-like focus on taxation rules and regulations gives them a formidable edge in preparing tax returns. But this doesn't mean they have expertise and knowledge in the broader business issues peculiar to your practice. In the past 12 years I've worked with several enrolled agents and I find their knowledge of tax law and interpretation to be formidable. I also know an enrolled agent (now retired) who was also a tax attorney. He was awesome and intimidating in court and I'm told that he never lost a court case.
However, if you need a preparer who has a broad business knowledge, who can provide analytical advice on your business fees, labor, marketing costs, retirement plans, budgets, profit margins, return on equity or assets, balance sheet analysis, etc., you should employ a certified public accountant. These folks are licensed by the state rather than the federal government and also must pass a comprehensive exam as well as spend several years in training prior to earning their CPA designation. But no matter which professional you chose, it's important to select a person who has experience in preparing returns for veterinarians.
The Florida College Investment Plan (and other college investment plans) is a scheme designed by the brokerage industry to generate rich fees and mutual fund commissions for Merrill Lynch, Prudential, Smith Barney, Raymond James, etc. And to the best of my knowledge, the Florida College Investment Plan (with $128 million in mutual funds) hasn't lived up to expectations.
It commenced operations in a near religious fervor with the brokerage industry, spending millions of dollars for glowing advertisements and special training for its sales staffs. It has been a bust and the market crash a few years ago dealt a near deathblow. But if you think you can invest wisely enough to pay the college costs for your three kids - go for it.
However, I strongly suggest you consider Florida's Prepaid College Tuition Plan, which has attracted more than $5.7 billion in assets. According to the College Savings Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., Florida's Prepaid Plan is the largest in the United States.
Unlike the Florida College Investment Plan, which has no tuition guarantee, Florida's Prepaid College Plan assures you that the dollars will be there when (if) your toddlers are ready. In my opinion, the prepaid plan is the best way to go.
Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 1416, Boca Raton, FL 33429 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.© Copley News Service

UK Club hosts 30th annual Mountain Climb in Korea
The 30th UK Club Korean Mountain Climb took place on Saturday 16th April, 2016 on the Yumyeong Mountain which is situated about an hour and a half outside of Seoul. The mountain was originally known as Mayusan Mountain until 1973, when the Empor Alpine reached the mountain during a hike across the nation. It has since been renamed Jin Yu-myeong, after a member of the expedition. The Yumyeong Mountain was chosen for the 30th Anniversary as it was also the site of the first UK Club Mountain Climb in 1986.
We had an excellent turn out of over 40 people from the our Members and Brokers in the area and the Thomas Miller team was supported by Hyopsung, the Club's representatives in Korea.
The Thomas Miller team consisted of Andrew Jones, the Regional Director for Asia Pacific, DY Kim and Sylvia Shi from the Hong Kong office, and one of the Underwriters for the Region, James Pietri. Two special guests took part in the climb - Richard Carpenter who has continued to travel to Korea to support the Mountain Climb every year despite his retirement in 2002, and K H Kim who retired from Hyopsung in February 2016. Richard and K H were both instrumental in setting up the tradition of the annual mountain climb back in 1986. Over the years, both have completed 29 of the 30 climbs.
During the well-deserved Korean barbeque lunch, Andrew Jones presented gifts to each of the two Special Guests and everyone who attended received a "30th Anniversary" commemorative gift.

Laudatory likes it here and won over track and trip last month under Nico de Boinville. This is a much stronger race, however, and he was pulled up when Cry Of Freedom won at Taunton in May, though did reverse that form at Newton Abbot the following month. First Avenue won the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March but it was heavy ground that day and he has 10lb more to carry here. Hawkhill and Ahyaknowyerself were both decent novices last year but lack a recent run. The latter looks capable of improving again this term, however, and might not be badly treated here. ALFRAAMSEY has had a couple of runs on the Polytrack lately so should be ready for this and is fancied to go well at decent odds as he holds a few of these on collateral form.

College coaches at different division levels have different recruiting practices. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and University of Arkansas Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Arkansas.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Le Moyne College basketball schedule 2017. Beyond consideration for University of Arkansas basketball center, you may think about Calhoun Community College changing majors for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
