Protests against dams are snowballing into a political movement in Assam
ASSAM is on the brink of a movement, like the one that ended with the 1984 Assam Accord. This time the concern is not illegal immigrants but dams proposed upstream in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the past year and a half people in Assam have held a number of protests. The latest one was on September 10 when Union Minister of Environm ent and Forests Jairam Ramesh visited Guwahati to consult academics, activists and student and political leaders on large dams, particularly a mega hydel project under construction on the Subansiri, a tributary of the Brahmaputra. The 2,000 MW Subansiri Lower Project is the biggest of the three dams under construction in Arunachal Pradesh.
The protest led by the two biggest pressure lobbies in the state—All Assam St udents Union (AASU) and Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity (KMSS)—signals no-holds-barred attempts in the future to stop Subansiri Lower. Asom Gana Pari shad (AGP), the main opposition party in the Congress-ruled Assam, has also joined the agitation.
At the heart of the protest and Ramesh's visit is the impact on Ass am of the dams planned in Arunachal Prad esh. The state has signed 168 memoranda of understanding with private and public companies to develop hyd ropo wer (see 'Electric rush', Down To Earth, May 15, 2008). These projects are on the Brahmaputra and its tributaries. "Aru nachal Pradesh is set to gain reve nue from these projects, but Assam will be the victim if anything goes wrong," said Samujjal Bhattacharya, adviser to AASU.
The Subansiri effect
Dams in Assam got politicised after work on Subansiri Lower began in 2005. Till then discussion regarding dams was limited to academics and a handful of ecological activists and lawyers. In 2004, the Supreme Court had allowed Subansiri Lower but banned more dams on the Subansiri because no one had assessed their cumulative impact downstream. The following year AASU led protests in Dhemaji and Lakhimpur districts demanding an assessment of the impact of Subansiri Lower. The agitation led to a tripartite meeting between AASU, NHPC (the company building Subansiri Lower) and the Assam government in December 2006, said Bhat tacharya. At the meeting it was decided that a team of experts from Gauhati University, Dibrugarh University and IIT Guwahati, would assess the downstream impact.
On June 28, 2010, the team recommended lowering the height of the dam and making technical changes in its structure to increase river flow (see 'Reduce Subansiri dam height: panel', Down To Earth, July 31, 2010). "So far AASU has only demanded downstream study and equally emphasized that it is not per se against dams. Till the submission of the expert committee report it was yet to take a stand on whether it opposes big dams," said Arupjyoti Saikia, professor at the department of humanities and social sciences, IIT Guwahati. But the organisation that claims to represent farmers and fishers in the state, KMSS, has made it clear it will not allow dams in Arunachal Pradesh.
Akhil Gogoi, its president, claims the support of nearly 500,000 fishers dependent on the Brahmaputra. He said his outfit will agitate peacefully but as a last resort would not hesitate to block roads leading to Arunachal Pradesh. Initially, concerns of downstream imp act did not evoke much response from political parties. On two occasions, in 2007 and 2008, the concerns were raised in the Assam Assembly but no party showed interest, said AGP MLA Girindra Kumar Baruah.
In July last year, the opposition forced the minister of power and industry, Pradyut Bordoloi, to re ply to a calling attention motion on Subansiri Lower. A debate on big dams ensued, with emph asis on Subansiri Lower. "The treasury benches joined to raise concerns about downstream impact," said Membar Gogoi, Congress MLA from Teok. After the debate the Assembly decided to set up a multi-party panel to look into the impact of Suban siri Lo wer and Ranganadi hydel proj ect in Arunachal Pradesh. The committee, chaired by Membar Gogoi, submitted its report on July 17, 2010. "We have asked NHPC to stop work till it acts on the recommendations of the expert team (set up in 2006)," Membar Gogoi said.
The sudden surge of political interest in dams is because of two reasons: Assembly elections in 2011 and growing anti-dam agitation. Today about 40 organisations in districts downstream of the Subansiri reservoir are working against mega dams. "No political party wants be seen as a supporter of Subansiri Lower," said a senior AGP worker.
Congress dodgy, AGP aggressive
But the state government is in a bind. On the one hand, elections dictate it respect the popular sentiment. On the other hand, it cannot go against the Congress-led government at the Centre which wants dams. Although the Assam power minister presided over the 2006 meeting between AASU and NHPC that led to the setting up of the expert group, the state government refuses to acknowledge the group's report as official, said a po wer department official. The government has only now, after se eing the AGPled opposition, decided to opp ose dams in Arunachal Pradesh till dow nstream concerns are addressed, he added.
AGP sees votes in opposing big dams. Baruah believes the dams will become a big issue in elections, especially in the districts immediately downstream of Subansiri Lower, including Lakhimpur and Dhemaji. In January this year, the party held consultations in Guwahati to understand downstream effects. According to witnesses, former chief minister and AGP leader Prafulla Kumar Mahanta sat for two days listening to activists and academics. "First, it was difficult to explain party leaders the downstream worries, but after two days they were co nvinced the issue could get them votes," said an academic who was part of the consultations. AGP has followed up the talks with a rally near Subansiri Lower at Gerukamukh in Lakhimpur in September.
The Assam government is catching up. In August while addressing the power ministers of the north-eastern states in Shillong, Bordoloi expressed anguish over wanton building of dams. According to sources close to the minister, a day before the meeting Bordoloi was tutored by the expert group that had recommended lowering the Subansiri dam's height. Bordoloi, who is also the spokesperson for the state Congress, has since become more vociferous in his critique. Recently, writing in a national weekly, Bordoloi criticised the Arunachal Pradesh government for signing contracts with fly-by-night operators for building dams without a comprehensive assessment of the fallouts.
According to sources in the power ministry, the Assam government is trying to implement the report of the interministerial group on hydropower in north-eastern states. The report, published in February this year, recommended sub-basin level studies for the Subansiri and Dibang rivers by the Cen tral Water Commission. Neeraj Vagho likar of Kalpavriksh Environ mental Act ion Group in Pune, who is working on dams in the Northeast, said sub-basin level studies are mere academic exercises because the group's report state's clearance of projects on these rivers will not be held up till the studies are completed.
Even as Ramesh left Guwahati with the promise of assessing cumulative downstream impact before clearing dams, a storm is brewing on the banks of the Brahmaputra in Tezpur. A barge with turbines for the Subansiri Lower is stationed at Jahaj Ghat. It cannot be taken to the dam because KMSS and AASU have threatened an agitation. Tu laram Gogoi, president of the Lakhim pur unit of AASU, said people are on standby. They will hold sit-in on the highway linking Te zpur to Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh if the state administration or NHPC tries to move the turbines before the recommendations of the expert group are followed.

Indian nation was never in
Indian nation was never in favor of the interest of people of Assam. Center always neglect development of this state.It is reflected in the scenario of big HE projects which will be built in Arunachal Pradesh at the cost of lives of millions of residents in the downstream of river Subanshiri.These short of big dams will destroy agricultural land & biodiversity of the region.Interest of central govt. is to provide enormous power to northern India.To fulfill the power requirement in north India it can sacrifice northeast India.Unfortunately this is the center's policy since independence.
Academicians of Assam IIT and Universities are under-estimating the ecological,economic and Environmental Disasters waiting in the wings to the misfortune of not only Assam but also to all other states in India.The planning of 168 projects,mostly in Arunachal pradesh,for Hydro=power generation is fraught with great
danger to the life,culture and even survival of Assam .
The Union Governmental organisations are packed with mostly non-experts and power brokers with the result that even the planning commission members have become indifferent to developmental problems by opting for wrong methods of development in preference to the right methods that will be based on strong scientrific and economic foundations that promote environmental sustainability.
Most of the decision-makers in several crucuail ministries like Environment,Power,water Resources,Central water commission,Tribal Affairs are not genuine experts as defined by Section.45 of the Indian Evidence Act,1872.Because of vested interests,the Governments at the state and central levels are most often designating non-experts as experts with the result that even the Courts are often blindly believing in them with the result that judgements given are sometimes not serving public and national interests and they may be reviewed when NGO's,Experienced Scientists and technical experts and other institutions of standing point out the glaring inherent mistakes ,if any.
In the case of these Big Dams in India,whether it is Polavaram dam in Andhra pradesh,Mullaperiyar dam in Kerala,Tehri dam in Uttaranchal,Narmada Dams in Gujarat and Madhya pradesh or Medium and Major Dams for Hydro-power in Arunachal pradesh,Nepaland in other parts of Himalayan Mountains,proper Environmental Impact Analysis Reports,Disaster Management,Risk and Dam=Break Analysis,Environmental management plans are prepared and plaxced before the public as per rules and regulatrions and the Union ministries are simplying condoning these grave mistakes which compromise with the future of the nation at very great cost.No body is accountable in the system and hence as envisaged by Mrs.Indira Gandhi,all responsible citizensincluding the intellectuals must protect the environment under Art.51A[g] of the indian constitution.
Assam Dams issue must be treated as a National Problem
Assam Dams aregoing to burst
Assam Dams aregoing to burst and cause economic losses worth several lakhs of crores of rupees to the Indian nation besides killing lakhs of people of Assam,located on the margins of Brahmaputra river and its several tributaries. Dr.T.Shivaji Rao recently gave talk on this problem and felt that intellectuals are miserably failing in creating awareness on these large construction of dams in Assam region where major earth quakes are waiting in the wings and these Major dams become man-made disaters.we need not blame China for tapping Brahmaputra water by dams for power generation in the Tibet region as we are planning more disasters in the form of Hydro-power plants in Arunachal pradesh which is under the influence of the rich contractors who hail from ouside the North Eastern states.The following web site gives details of Earth quakes in Assam region and their impact on the dams there under construction can be visualised as posing great risksto the life and culture of Assam.
preventing assam dams
preventing assam dams becoming man-made disasters. During his recent talk on Modifying killer Assam Dams into Safer projects,Prof.T.shivaji Rao,an eminent environmental expert suggested some modifications based upon his interactions with the proponents of tehri dam as a Member of the Environmental Appraisal Committee of the Union ministry of Environment during 1990's.When he questioned the project engineers about alternatives to Tehri in case the Tehri dam is not approved due to its high seismicity,the proponents presented 4 to 5 Run-of-thwe-River Schemes on Bhgirathi river which do not cause serious disasters in case of a Dam-Break due to Maximum Credible accidents due to earthquakes,flsah floods or construction defects or human failures. In the case of Assam dams,Prof.Shivaji rao suggested that first of all,it is essential to determine if there are areas with hidden faults that getting activated and determine the possibility of disastrous earthquakes as per the procedures followed in Eart-quake prone zones in Western U.S.by using aeroplane -mounted magnetometer surveys for predicting catastrophic earthquakes . We must take timely action to reduce the storages in such risky reservoirs to prevent Dam-burst scenarios waiting in the wings.Some dams may be closed down depending upon their risk potential and for this purpose the combined impacts of all risky dams must be considered to work out a strategy to save the lives of lakhs of people in Assam and Gawahati from becoming victims of a man-made disaster in the high seismic zone of the Himalayan belt.The Academicians of the Assam Universities and the IIT have to take the responsibility to study these problems and create awareness on these man-made issues of life and death as responsible citizens under Art.51A[g] of the constitution of india.The delaying tacticts of the political leadres must not be tolerated any more. Dr.K.Suresh Kumar,Ph.D., Department of Environmental studies, Gitam University,visakhapatnam
There can be many options for
There can be many options for power such as wind and solar,
Why should the govt. implement the projects without first
Studying the impacts on the lower regions.
It is really very sorry to
It is really very sorry to say that the political parties for thier personal intentions compromise with the lifes of the millions. It is a time for the people of assam to awaken from thier sleep and come forward to protect thier own future.

One of the major problems in our country is economic crisis we can not deny that fact it is because most of our fellow Filipino are jobless. Learn how to solve economic crisis visit this site Economic Crisis at www.bailerbin.com

After visiting Guludo in May our friends at Extraordinary Journeys in NYC have been spreading the word and this week Marcia Gordon included Guludo in her article about the "best places off the beaten track."
Guludo, Mozambique -- We love Guludo because this authentic, down to earth beach camp is lots of fun. It represents responsible tourism at its finest. Enjoy 12 km of deserted powder-white sand nestled between the dazzling azure Indian Ocean and wild African bush knowing that you are improving lives while swinging in your hammock. Snorkel or dive to explore magnificent coral reefs, watch humpback whales, visit neighboring islands and mingle in the local village. You'll have everything you need to be comfortable, and nothing you don't.

The first time I slept with Alan we couldn't have sex. I mean we just literally couldn't figure it out. Weirdest thing. He was hard, I was wet, he's not hilariously small and I'm not monstrously fat, but for some strange reason we just could not get Tab A to go in Slot B and stay there.
The next time was kind of a battle, there was a lot of falling out and a mid-sex re-condoming and in the end neither of us came, but at least it was basically sex.
The next time he came in the first 30 seconds.
The next time I came, but he couldn't get off and eventually we had to stop because we were both getting sore as hell.
The time after that was wild and frantic and sweaty and we both came deliciously hard and often. And every time after was just better.
And that, boys and girls, is the problem with one-night stands.

My one-night stand sucked, too. I tried to see the woman again afterward partly as an attempt to get another chance.ReplyDelete
Hee! Same thing happened to me with my current guy - we waited two months to have sex (I usually fuck on the first date, but he's a nice boy) and when we finally got the STD tests back (mine of course) and we were cleared to take off, he had a hard time getting it in and lost his erection. We finally gave up and tried again later and it's been raging ever since. Yay for happy endings!ReplyDelete

Creative genius
We were both home. With a lot of snow.
What would you have done with a half an hour of daylight and some excess energy from having been stuck inside for days on end?
We had a cup of tea and a chat. I went and did some more work. Mr WithaY read a bit. We had another cup of tea.
Then we did this:
We made a snow menagerie!
It consisted of:
A snow deer, at rest.
Look! It even has a tail!
A snow Great White Shark. Mr WithaY was most emphatic about the species. Obviously it's only a small one.
A snow bear. It looks as though it ought to be wearing shades and a Blues Brothers porkpie hat, somehow.
Oh yes. We also saw our single solitary crocus, bravely peeking out from the deep snow, defying all that the Winter could throw at it.
All, that is, barring Mr WithaY's size 11 Wellington boots.
As my Youngest Sis commented when she saw some of the photos, we have way too much time on our hands.

That looks like such good fun. The Great White is pretty scary! It could be Jaws himself.
I managed to enjoy the snow the way we Northerners generally do, in front of a roaring fire while sat in my Jim jams. I mean what's the point getting dressed if you're not going out? (I do have a job honestly).

Isobel, it was good fun, and the menagerie is still there, although the snow around them is turning to ice now.
Z, we are still covered in snow, and there is black ice expected on all the roads. It's veering between exciting and bloody annoying for me now.

La Belette Rouge, hello! And thank you, what a lovely compliment!
I made the bear, hence the lack of anatomical correctness, unlike the shark and deer.

I love them all. Your menagerie reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes. I have always wanted to try and create Calvin's snowman dioramas! Shame we only got a thimble full of snow here :(

Spence, I saw a photo of a snowman waiting at a bus stop with a really cross expression on his face, and it looked *exactly* like a Calvin and Hobbes snowman!

Triple Science
Key Stage 4
What will I learn?
All pupils in Year 9 are now studying towards the newly revised Science GCSEs. The course teaching is divided into the three science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Each subject is sub-divided into several theory modules, covering a vast range of ideas about how organisms and the world around them work. You will also learn how to conduct investigations and how to record and analyse the results, as well as evaluating your methods. You will acquire and apply skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works and the essential role of science in society.
How will I be assessed?
Throughout the course you will complete end-of-unit tests in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as graded homework tasks. However, final GCSE grades are all determined by exams taken at the end of Year 11. These GCSEs will be graded 9-1.
You are being entered for 'Triple' Science. On this course, pupils study more topics in each of the subject areas. This leads to 3 separate GCSEs: GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Physics, each with separate grades awarded.
Controlled assessments no longer form part of the course and all performance is judged from the final exams. However, you will complete several 'Required Practicals' throughout the course. It is expected that all pupils complete these, and they will be assessed in the final exams.
Theory exams will contain a mixture of multiple-choice questions, short, structured questions and questions requiring extended responses. They will also test some core maths skills as well as the practical and investigative skills needed to be a good scientist. There will be six exams in total: two for each science subject.
How will I be taught?
You will be taught in groups with students of mixed ability, not in 'sets'. You will have separate lessons in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and will be taught by staff that specialise in each of these. You will be expected to take part in practical work and investigations. Demonstrations are used to explain scientific theories and ideas. Whole class teaching, small group work, research, presentations, discussions and debates are all common practice in science lessons.
Science is relevant to all whether you enter employment at 16 or go on to further study. These GCSEs provide excellent preparation for all post-16 courses including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, PE, Geography and Food Technology at A Level.

PhillySpotlight: AND WE EVOLVE - Liz Funk Interview
Thursday, March 15, 2018
Tinsel & Tine's Spotlight on Philly's "revolved clothing" Shop
Interview with LIZ FUNK
Proprietor/Fashionista/Business Woman
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor
Diane Von Furstenberg once said, "I didn't always know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to be." Like DVF, most of us are still trying to figure out what we want to do. But what if we had the tools, the mindset, and the community support to experiment with how we want to show up in the world? Welcome to And We Evolve - Liz Funk.
If you're a long-time Tinsel & Tine reader you may have seen me post stuff about PHLBloggers and The Blog Connect Annual Conference (April 28-29, 2018) it's great to be in the trenches with other bloggers, but it's also a great way to get to know about new businesses and happenings in the city, as companies reach out to us with invites and offers. Which is how I virtually met Liz Funk of And We Evolve a new sustainable fashion company & community in Philadelphia with a showroom about to have its official launch March 31, 2018 and an online women's vintage fashion shopping site up and running!
T&T: I love how you came up with an alternate term for vintage or thrift shopping "Revolved" it's a wonderful spin. How did the term come about?
So, we wanted to create a new category: #revolved clothing. At And We Evolve, we only sell new or like-new clothes (and, of course, vintage clothes), and we really curate what we put on our racks so everything is unique and special or intensely useful. We sell brands from "Banana Republic and up," meaning Banana Republic and designers that would be considered a step up from Banana Republic. We want people shopping to feel like our collection is only the gems. When someone wears #revolved clothing, we want them to feel that #revolved is a badge of honor, and that this item is especially special. And that's true! What's so cool about #revolved clothing is that it adds such a uniqueness to your wardrobe.
T&T: Although the majority of shopping is done on the And We Evolve website (andweevolve.com), women can visit the Philly showroom by appointment...
1) How long did you have the online store before adding the showroom at the Loom?
2) Are you a Philly Native? If so, where did you grow up? If not, what brought you to Philly?
LF: We soft-launched the company online November 1st. We moved into the Loom September 1st, and we really only opened our doors to the public a few weeks ago, for our Galentine's Day party. It took a really long time to sort our inventory, categorize everything, figure out what racks we wanted to use, and get the space into the shape. Starting Saturday, March 3rd, we're open to the public every Saturday from 12pm-5pm. With our Official Launch Party & Membership Kickoff happening on on March 31st.
I'm not a Philly native, no. I grew up in upstate New York, in Albany. I went to college in New York City and spent most of my twenties in New York. I had visited Philadelphia a number of times in fall 2016 and I really, really liked it. So when I started thinking about moving last spring, with "higher quality of life" as my main criterion, Philadelphia seemed like a great fit. I took a leap of faith and I moved here in June last year, and I am absolutely loving it. This is such a warm, vibrant city, full of people who are so creative and driven. I'm a huge fan.
T&T: Obviously, you have a love of fashion and clothes, is this a passion that became a business, or did you study fashion and merchandising?
LF: This is a passion that became a business. My prior career was as a freelance writer and speaker. I wrote about entrepreneurship, women's issues, career happiness, and mental health, and I spoke at colleges about anxiety management for high-achievers. I also did a lot of marketing consulting for early stage startup companies.
LF cont: I've always had an interest in secondhand. I remember the first thing I ever bought secondhand, a black strapless dress from a thrift shop in the East Village. It was 2007--I was a junior in college--and the dress was $2. It was thrilling. I was hooked. I shopped secondhand as a hobby from then on, and I developed an interest in having a secondhand store or an "upcycled fashion" store after college. Around the age of 26, I stopped buying things new from stores, and built my wardrobe from vintage shops, secondhand stores, clothing swaps, and estate sales. I always wanted to start this company, but I was always waiting for the idea to gel in my head or waiting to feel ready. Realistically, I was never going to feel ready--I just needed to do it. Moving to Philadelphia, meeting my business partner Alisha, learning that Alisha also wanted to start a secondhand clothing company-- all these forces came together in a very motivating way.
T&T: Tell me about your partner and partnership
LF: I co-own the company with Alisha Ebling, who is a writer / grantwriter and an ardent environmentalist: we met at a Girl Develop It class in June of 2017. (Thanks, Girl Develop It!)
LF cont : If I've learned anything so far from And We Evolve, it's about how important the buddy system is. In our careers, we're generally charting our path on our own. As a freelancer and self-employed person, I worked pretty independently and made virtually all the choices around my work on my own. I can't overstate how valuable and comforting it is to have a partner. You have someone to bounce around ideas, you have an accountability partner, and you have someone by your side during all the peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship.
Alisha is very well educated on how damaging fashion production is to the planet. She's also one of those people who is extremely passionate about a topic and has a distinct viewpoint, but she speaks about environmentalism in a way that is so gentle and articulate and fact-based, you're leaning in and ready to agree with her, without her telling you about any of the gory stuff that's happening to our planet or to the meat we eat. - And We Evolve can be a stepping stone for women weaning themselves off of fast fashion. If someone learns about what goes on behind the scenes at H&M, or Zara, or really any major apparel company, and they want to stop shopping at those stores and creating demand for these retailers' products, we're here. Our message around fast fashion is: Wear revolved clothes so there is less of a need for retailers to make new clothes. It's okay to wear Zara and H&M-- as long as it's recycled Zara. As your budget allows, start to incorporate sustainably and ethically-made pieces into your wardrobe. Or, just keep shopping revolved, or supplementing your wardrobe with revolved pieces.
T&T: Tell me more about the social & female empowerment aspect of And We Evolve
LF : Together, Alisha and I have a very strong position on empowering women. We want to help women be intentional around how they show up in the world. Some women express themselves through their clothes. Some women express how they want to feel through their clothes. Some women want to feel better about themselves, and they use clothes as a tool to raise their vibration. Or, if someone doesn't really care about their clothes or their "look," they can be intentional in the sense that they can make socially-conscious, informed decisions about where they shop.
T&T: I was glad to see the clothing seems to range from X small to XX Large. Can you tell us how you come by most of the fashions?
LF: I'm a size 18, and making preowned and vintage clothing available to plus-size women was a given when we were starting the company. We have full inventory (i.e. we can create multiple full outfits for various occasions from our inventory) in sizes ranging from 00 to 20.
LF cont:The vast majority of clothing is donated to us by friends and people in our professional network; virtually everyone has clothing that they've barely worn or that no longer fits them, that they're eager to part with. We've been really blessed that so many people were eager to clean out their closets to help us build our inventory and our first collection. We also acquire vintage and high-end designer items from going to estate sales on the Main Line. We are actively looking for more plus-sized clothing, especially in aspirational brands.
T&T: "Phantom Thread" was one of my favorite movies of 2017, all those post 1950 gowns are sheer dress porn! So glad Mark Bridges won the Oscar. Do you have a favorite movie based on the costumes?
LF: I love the Todd Haynes movie "Carol", starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. It's set in the 1950's, and Cate Blanchett is a well-to-do woman who wears stunning 1950's outfits: dresses with cinched waists, high-waisted skirts with full skirts, brooches, scarves, and incredible coats. I am a coat gal-- I really appreciate a dramatic, unusual coat. Carol is coat porn.
T&T: That's so great that you say that, I wrote a post leading up to the Oscars on all the nominated Costume designers and in my opening paragraph I talk about not liking the movie "Carol" except for the fact that the fashion was so memorable!
T&T: What are your favorite restaurants, bars, or coffee shops near your showroom in Port Richmond? (The LOOM 3245 Amber Street, Loft 5-4-C, Phila 19134)
LF: To be honest, when we're at the studio, we're go-go-go. When we're done for the day, we tend to retreat back to our neighborhoods. I live in Fairmount, and I have a number of favorite spots. Kansai on 19th and Spring Garden is really, really good sushi. Jack's Firehouse on Fairmount has really good brunch. And naturally, I love the OCF Coffeehouse right across from the Penitentiary.

Market Timing and Managerial Portfolio Decisions
MIT Sloan Working Paper No. 4310-03; AFA 2003 Washington, DC Meetings; EFA 2002 Berlin Meetings Presented Paper
61 Pages Posted: 21 May 2003
Date Written: December 2003
This paper provides evidence that top managers have contrarian views on firm value. Managers' perceptions of fundamental value diverge systematically from market valuations, and perceived mispricing seems an important determinant of managers' decision making. An analysis of insider trading patterns shows that low valuation (value) firms are regarded as undervalued by their own managers relative to high valuation (growth) firms. This finding is robust to controlling for non-information motivated trading. Managers in value firms actively purchase additional equity on the open market despite substantial prior exposure to firm risk through stock and option holdings, equity-based compensation and firm-specific human capital. Further evidence links managers' private portfolio decisions directly to changes in corporate capital structures, suggesting that managers actively time the market both in their private trades and in firm-wide decisions.

Native Animal Rescue Group (NARG)
Every year, hundreds of thousands of native animals are injured, orphaned, or become sick, often because of some interaction with people or pets. We provide food, emergency relief and support for wildlife in need.
Getting Involved
Volunteers play a key role in wildlife rescue and care. Not only will you be learning new skills and helping animals in need, you can make new friends and create an enriching experience for yourself as well. If you're able to lend a hand or give some of your spare time, then get in touch and find out what you can do today.
Almost all wildlife care is done by unpaid volunteers. While the number of native animals needing help is increasing, volunteer numbers are not keeping up. Most groups provide training if you want to help with hands-on care. All groups also need support volunteers to help with administration, fundraising and other duties, which free up the carers to focus on their rescue and rehabilitation work.

A bit of background…
Thank you for picking my site to visit today, I'd like to introduce myself and give you a little bit of an idea just who I am.
My name is Honor James though I also write under the name April Zyon. I'm married, to my best friend so that worked out well. I have two children, both teenagers now. I love them dearly but they could, at times, they could very well try the patience of a Saint. But I suppose it goes with the territory, after all, I was once a teenager too… Wow, scary flashback there.
I love to write, just about anything and everything. When I first started to write I thought I knew just who I was, turned out I didn't have a clue. These last two years as a published author have taught me so much and shown me that I still have so much more to learn about who I am as an author and who I want to be as a writer. It's been a truly amazing journey and it's all thanks to my publishers, who have opened my eyes, and to my fans who have been there to support me and cheer me on each and every step of the way.
Without any of you, publishers and fans/readers alike, I would not be the woman or the writer I am today. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for coming along for this ride with me. Here's hoping we have another stellar year and you are all there with me as we get to celebrate another one.
Welcome to my world, welcome to my insanity and welcome to my site. Enjoy!
Updated January 2, 2014

Philippa can devise an ongoing mentor program to suit your specific business needs, and importantly your budget. Please review the two existing mentor packages, and contact her directly to discuss how this could be better tailored to suit your business.

I hope the title isn't deceptive because I don't know how to ID logs.
My friend goes around So Cal collecting logs from people's yards and then he cuts them up for firewood. Whenever he gets interesting looking logs he offers me pieces to turn on my lathe. I usually say yes. The problem is that neither one of us has any idea what type of wood we are looking at. The only thing we know for sure is it is a tree that grows in So Cal.
I'm wondering if anyone has any secrets to identifying the type of wood from a piece of a log? Ring patterns? Specific bark characteristics? Taste? Smell? Feel?
Thanks for any help. I'll post some photos soon of a couple that I have right now.

Midi skirts are right up my street when it comes to spring transitional pieces, especially now that they come indifferent fabrics, fits and textures. Literally an all year round necessity. I shoot this look late autumn but delays meant I couldn't post it earlier. It was slightly chilly but opted to forgo tights to show the entirety of the look, mind you, it wouldn't do the outfit justice anyway!
Confession..! I have a love for striped tees nothing can shake off, so to sass up my typical blues and blacks, I picked this in green and it worked well with my Asos structured skirt. You can't quite see the detailing just above the waist which sucks, but I loved the fact it is typically A-Line but has some sort of asymmetric thing going.. Okay!! Enough of me trying to enhance your visuals. To finish up I slipped into what I call my 'Cinderella heels'. Overall I love that this look is comfy yet slightly dressy.
Lots Of Love

"It didn't come as a surprise that the smelt run is good, and there have been times in the past when they've almost disappeared only to come back strong again," said Joe Hymer, a state Fish and Wildlife biologist. "What is surprising is the lateness of the smelt run, and they've been in the Cathlamet area for a couple weeks before they decide to move upstream," Hymer said. "Now they've gone everywhere. We've actually seen them in Toutle, Kalama, Lewis and Sandy rivers, and quite a few of them have also spawned in mainstem Columbia and up near Bonneville (Dam)." While the Columbia smelt return looks very good, catching the once popular fish is off limits since they were added to the Endangered Species Act listing in the spring of 2010. That means even touching them is a no-no, and state Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers have been citing people. Dead spawned out smelt have been seen littering the banks of the Columbia and the Cowlitz rivers with birds and sea lions gorging on the oily baitfish. "There are still some heading upstream, but it looks like most have already moved into rivers," Hymer said. "They may have been a little more easy to spot this season with the fairly low and clear water, and that may make a little difference. In some areas there have been a lot of dying smelt with some doing the death spiral in the water." State Fish and Wildlife enforcement has been seeing many people coming into contact with smelt, and some are brazenly taking advantage of the good return. "There have been some people who've (illegally) targeted them," Hymer said. "Some have gotten bored bored with slow steelhead fishing, and put a clam net on a limb to (illegally) catch smelt. One person was actually dipping smelt. We've also seen kids and people picking them up by hand along the shoreline." Hymer said one person with a smelt dipping net caught a little more than 200 smelt and was caught by fisheries enforcement. "Another person picking up trash along the waterfront also decided to pick up some smelt and somehow ended up with 22 pounds and a ticket from fisheries enforcement," Hymer said. "You simply can't possess any fresh live or dead smelt period." "One decent return doesn't make a recovery, and now that they're listed there needs to be a criteria to delist them," Hymer said. "It would take awhile to have any changes." Comments

The latest entry in the nearly 30-year-old Street Fighter series has arrived. Long-time and new fans alike can get excited about the V-Gauge system, which features a meter that builds and allows you to pull off special attacks, utilize attack boosts, or parry. Additionally, new characters Rashid, Laura, F.A.N.G, and Necalli freshen up the gameplay, and cross-platform play unites the PS4 and PC community.
Street Fighter V is built on the ever-impressive Unreal Engine 4, making for improved visuals and performance over the game's predecessor. I'll be taking a look at both today, although focusing much more on the visual aspect and the PC features as unfortunately the game doesn't include an uncapped benchmark à la Street Fighter IV.

Hot, Sweet, and Sour Seitan Ribs with Lemongrass Bones
It's #ThrowbackThursday so I thought I'd throw it back to these amazing ribs from Fusion Food in the Vegan Kitchen. This was one of those recipes that gave me goosebumps. It's one of those things that my dad would eat. And he never likes to eat "weird vegan food." So, that, my folks, is a vote of approval if I've ever seen one.

Design Engineering Simulation
FieldView 16.1 Post-Processing, Visualization and Workflow Automation Solution has been selected Digital Engineering Editor's Pick of the Week.
Digital Engineering (DE; digitaleng.news) has announced that the 16.1 release of the FieldView CFD (computational fluid dynamics) post-processing, visualization and workflow automation solution from ac&e partner Intelligent Light was its Editor's Pick of the Week for January 11, 2017.
"By specializing on CFD post-processing, FieldView eliminates lots of the overhead in an all-in-one CFD system," writes Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Digital Engineering. "While this alone provides a good measure of efficiency, it also means the company's engineers can focus on the productivity tools designed to get you interactively exploring and presenting data quickly."
"The line on FieldView is that it's fast, easy to implement and easy to use," he says. "It works with data from leading CFD systems – often certified to work with those systems – and most OSes. It can handle huge data sets and scale from workstations to HPC (high-performance computing) resources. It helps you capture best practices and create CFD workflows that make your processes more efficient, friendly and productive. You can run multiple simulations quickly, and its visualization and presentation capabilities are said to be top notch."
"Visualization [is] a key area of enhancement in FieldView 16.1," Lockwood writes. "The software already came with the tools to create animations and 3D PDFs. It now has added functionality to create MP4 movies that you can use with your PowerPoint presentations or as YouTube videos. It also has a couple of new readers that let you see what's happening with structured and unstructured VTK (Visualization ToolKit) data sets."
"If you've never tried FieldView, then sign up for evaluation and run it through it paces. Sounds well worth your time," concludes Lockwood.

NDP: Your Collected Poems was recently published. How does it feel to reach such a milestone?
Micheal O'Siadhail: I feel wonderfully privileged to be able to gather all 13 collections into one volume. It has helped me to reflect on where I've been and where I'm going. It feels like both a recapitulation of my whole life and a springboard for new work.
NDP: Tell me about the striking portrait on the cover.
MO: That was commissioned from Mick O'Dea by the Crawford gallery. I spent a fascinating few weeks with Mick O'Dea, which lead to a deep friendship. Mick is a superb portrait artist.
NDP: I attended a beautiful reading of yours in Clonskeagh Castle. How do approach performing your poems?
MO: We must remember that poetry is fundamentally an oral art. Poems come to full life when spoken and heard. I never fail to be inspired by the interplay with an audience. I'm also intrigued by the similarity of an audience's reaction in different cultures – from Tokyo to Saskatchewan. However, I should also make clear that my own reading and interpretation is not the only one. I sometimes hear my poems read by others in a way which reveals new angles to me.
NDP: In that reading, you used visual material along with your readings - Japanese characters, as I remember. How does visual art impact and work its way into your writing?
MO: The visual arts have always been vital for me. My late wife Bríd and I spent years building up a collection of contemporary Irish art.
Besides other poets, there are two other strands of inspiration. One is the theatre, which I have always found exciting and is in many ways close to poetry as an art. It too comes alive in the presence of an audience. But music has probably been even more fundamental to me and I've written a good deal inspired by classical music and jazz. Musicality is intrinsically related to poetry; we need only think of rhythm, assonance, alliteration and rhyme.
NDP: You have lived around the world and speak numerous languages. What does this kind of experience mean for you as an Irish poet?
MO: Tongues, the last collection included in my Collected Poems, in many ways sums up that experience. It culminates in a set of poems in gratitude to the people who inducted me into various languages and cultures. I feel both deeply rooted in Ireland – especially in Dublin – while at the same time being at home in Norway, England, Iceland, the United States, Japan and Canada.
NDP: What are the formal aspects you feel are characteristic of poetry, distinct from other kinds of writing?
MO: Most of the characteristics which sustain poetry – metaphor, similes along with rhythm, rhyme, assonance alliteration and so forth – may be present in really good prose but the density, distillation, heightened musicality, breadth of resonance and free play of imagination are markers of good poetry.
NDP: In 'Spirit of a Language,' you write
Word-spirit, soul of a language,
Speech-psyche, goblin tongue,
Genius of a past still within,
Old marvels shaping us
In echo-chambers of our ghosts,
Distant ventriloquists
Throwing across our centuries
Timbres of their own voice.
Ease and surety
of our given living-room.
Take-for-granted tongue.
Spirit-rapping medium.
Brokered gift of tongues.
To what extant does language shape who we are and frame our definitions of nationality?
MO: Yes, clearly to a certain degree language shapes who we are. However, it must not be exaggerated as linguists such as Whorf and Sapir tended to do. Languages are more porous, and we can learn other languages; I have been shaped by several languages.
As for nations, they are relative latecomers and have often included a variety of languages within their borders. I'm intrigued at the variety in this regard. There are one-language nations like Iceland or Japan – though Japanese ousted Ainu in Hokkaido. In the case of Spain, Spanish, Catalan,, Basque etc. coexist.
NDP: The 'Brokered gift of tongues' points to language as spoken, interpersonal communication - it also speaks to a sense of limitation in language. What are the limits of language as communication, or as poetic utterance?
MO: Of course, I'm fascinated by the many ways humans communicate: by gesture, body language, sign language, painting, music and so on. But I'm also very taken with their interplay and I'm convinced that poetry is enriched by all other forms of communication.
NDP: Which poets formed your earliest writing?
MO: It is a long list but if I were to choose a few: Shakespeare, Dante, Herbert, Karen Böye, Rilke, Herman Wildenwvey, Frost, or near home Patrick Kavanagh.
NDP: Which poets do you turn to now?
MO: More recently I admire Richard Wilbur, Denise Levertov, Mary O'Donnell, John Momtague as well as several of my contemporaries.

I have been paying my condominium unit for more than a year already and I admit, it's really been draining my finances. I got the condo unit, somewhere in Pasig and still under construction, for zero interest payable in three years that's why I have such a high monthly payment. I issued three years of checks to pay for it using my Chinabank current/checking account, my salary account actually.
Yesterday, I withdrew P2000 pesos to pay for an unexpected expense with my mommy but this morning when i went to the office, I, again, withdrew P900 but when I looked at the available balance, the amount fell short of my required funds for the check to be deposited tomorrow so I immediately accessed my Chinabank Online to verify and requested my officemate to transfer P820 to my account as I handed him the cash.
Just one of the wonders of Internet banking here in the Philippines that there's no transaction fee for intra-bank funds transfer and also I didn't have to pay P1200 service charge to China Bank for a bouncing check.
I experienced a bouncing check last May when I wasn't able to clear a manager's check i requested from BPI to transfer funds to my China Bank account.
Not that I'm afraid of estafa here since the real estate company can just forfeit my unit in case I can't pay it anymore, but the P1200 is P1200, plus the hassle of looking for additional funds since I can't access my BPI account easily to transfer. There's still no way I can transfer funds from BPI to China Bank except over the counter.
