Asperger Helped Nazis Kill Children – The Times -April 19th 2018
I am shocked, but not surprised, by this story in The Times.
The medical and scientific establishments became umbilically linked to the eugenics of the Nazis. Their belief in racial purity subverted both medics and scientists who promoted the cold blooded murder of people with disabilities.
Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, political and religious dissenters, like St. Maxilillian Kolbe, followed them to the concentration camps. But people with disabilities were the first to be singled out and it's no coincidence that the Reich, with its visceral hatred of difference, led the way in promoting abortions and euthanasia.
Schönbrunn Psychiatric Hospital, 1934 (Photo by SSphotographer Friedrich Franz Bauer.)See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_euthanasia_in_Nazi_Germany
In 1929 Hitler said at the Nazi Party Conference in Nuremberg, "that an average annual removal of 700,000-800,000 of the weakest of a million babies meant an increase in the power of the nation and not a weakening"
The political classes in England – egged on by campaigners like Marie Stoppes -came perilously close to doing the same thing. G.K. Chesterton described them as "dazed dupes" and Chesterton trenchantly set out the case against this barbarism in "Eugenics and Other Evils."
Today, the heirs of Asperger promote a false scientism that kills 90% of babies with Down's Syndrome and justifies the stabbing to death, by injecting the heart of a full term baby. This is a complete abnegation and repudiation of the ancient Hippocratic Oath and the foundational principle of good medical ethics that a doctor should do no harm.
Consider for a moment some of those who are said to have experienced Asperger's Syndrome – including Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Alfred Hitchcock and Benjamin Franklin – and you get a glimpse of how much poorer humanity would have been if each of these had been eliminated.
Then ask yourself who and what we will have lost through Asperger's eugenics and the eugenics promoted and practised today by his twenty first century followers. Perhaps it's time to rename the Syndrome after someone who experienced it and who blessed humanity by their presence in the world."
What Chesterton had to say about the Resurrection:
Carrying their cross
Why the United Kingdom should start acting on behalf of religious minorities in the Middle East
On Good Friday, Christians will pray and – in many churches – also walk the way of the cross – the Via Dolorosa – a tradition dear to those who attend the Easter services.
The Via Dolorosa – the way of sorrows, the way of grief, the way of suffering – is commemorated in the fourteen stations of Jesus' suffering. Pausing at each we try to understand what was happening on the way to Mount Calvary – the place where the most inspiring figure in history was executed. To more than a billion believers, He is more than just an inspiration. Having suffered greatly Himself, the Son of God represents redemption to all of mankind.
Over the centuries, Christians have lived in the…

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on Tuesday said the U.S. embargo against Cuba is outdated.
The United Nations General Assembly voted Tuesday — for the 23rd time — to condemn the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba. Out of 193 nations, 188 voted for the resolution slamming the U.S. restrictions.
McGovern urged the Obama administration to ease the Cuba embargo after 53 years. The Massachusetts Democrat argued undoing the restrictions would advance U.S. priorities.
"It is past time for the Obama administration to take concrete steps to ease restrictions against Cuba, reestablish diplomatic relations, and initiate a mutually-beneficial dialogue to end the conflict between our nations," McGovern said. "Better relations would allow the United States to more effectively raise concerns about human rights on the island."
McGovern further argued that the embargo only exacerbated U.S.-Cuba tensions and failed to take down the Castro regime.
"The 53-year-old economic embargo has not worked. It has not overturned the Cuban government," McGovern said. "The Cold War is over. It's time to change."

Get a Fresh Start with 360 Painting
Many of life's big moments are marked by transformation of a space in your home. 360 Painting San Diego understands the importance of this fresh start and the impact that a new coat of paint can bring into your life.
Details on 'Fresh Start with 360 Painting'
[Sean] Today, I'm happy to welcome a new pro to the Approved Home Pros network, 360Painting San Diego, I'm here with Debbie Carreno. Debbie, great to have you on the show today.
[Debbie] Thank you so much for having us. This is a real honor to be part of this network.
[Sean] It's an honor to have you as a part of the network. Now, you have an unusual background and kind of a fresh start in your career with painting. Tell us about that.
[Debbie] Yeah, I'd be happy to. So I actually always wanted to own my own business, but I ended up doing the traditional thing. I went to college, I've attained a degree in electrical engineering from San Diego State. I spent most of my career in hi-tech sales and then I stayed home with my kids for a little while.
[Sean] Hi-tech sales, electronics, that's common in the painting industry. Most painters have that background.
[Debbie] Absolutely not, but it's been really good for me because I have a lot of experience in business customer relations and so when I went back into the work force after having my kids, I was looking for a way to kind of bridge the gap of the experience that I had and just have a bigger purpose. I felt like I was getting swallowed up in Corporate America.
[Sean] That's, I understand that feeling. I've had some of the things happen in my life. Now you went into painting because you said you had wanted to give people a fresh start the same way you had, tell us about painting and fresh starts.
[Debbie] Absolutely, it was actually a really easy match for me. Once I found painting, I fell in love with it. I felt like it was a way to kind of get back out in the community, have a bigger purpose in life. It's really a positive experience. Customers almost always are going through some sort of fresh start, a transformation, new babies, new homes, even just maybe a special event in the backyard. So it's just kind of ties everything together for me.
[Sean] Painting is one of those upgrades that you can do relatively inexpensively that makes a massive difference to the feel and look of the home.
[Debbie] Absolutely and I think people don't realize how quickly and easily it can transform your entire house.
[Sean] And you will come out and help people consult on colors?
[Debbie] Absolutely.
[Sean] And all those other things to give them that fresh start?
[Debbie] Absolutely, we actually have a partnership with Sherwin Williams and if you go with us, we can provide you color consulting services for free.
[Sean] That's marvelous and now, if somebody wants to have you come out and do a consultation, is it you that they might be talking to?
[Debbie] Yes, it is. I try to go to as many of my customers as I can and especially my ApprovedHomePros customers. I really want to get out there and meet you and share what this network is all about.
[Sean] That's marvelous, that kind of level of service and the dedication you have to doing things the right way in an industry, a trade that sometimes does not have the best track record of customer service. That is very important. Thank you so much. –
[Debbie] Thank you.

4 dangerous trends that the average Indian middleclass has to overcome! - Education - Employment - Career - Economic Challenges
Education-Employment-Career-Economic Challenges
The story of many young Indian middle class students
"Mahesh goes to school, he was always a below average student but his parents wanted him to become a doctor or an engineer,
He took his 10th exams with all preparation & somehow scored well because of all the preparation and hard work.
They put him in a rigorous coaching environment for performing in his +2 exams; there were no TV, no entertainment, no friends circle except tuition, cycle tests and so on
And at last he got a seat in an engineering college" this is the story of many young Indian middle class students
But when they go to the engineering college do the situation change?
First year there is engineering physics, chemistry, maths, English and basic engineering with strict culture where students are not allowed to form groups, not much interaction and in particular boys and girls should not communicate to each other in most colleges. Though there are many colleges where there is good atmosphere but most don't allow interpersonal skills to develop!
Then they expect them to get placement in the final year! The sad fact is that only about say 10% of them really get into placement.
Today it has become a norm for all colleges to advertise 100% placement but the truth is AICTE acknowledge that nearly 87% of engineering graduates coming from colleges are unemployable!

Follow Our Live Coverage of COVID-19 Developments
Chickenpox is the common term for a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It causes an unpleasant infection that's most commonly known for the blister-like rash that covers the body. It's also accompanied by itching, fever and fatigue.
In healthy children, chickenpox lasts for five to 10 days and then begins to go away on its own. However, it can be dangerous in people with compromised immune systems, such as the elderly and infants. In the past, chickenpox would cause millions of infections and more than 10,000 hospitalizations every year, but a vaccine for the disease has changed the current situation for chickenpox in childhood.
Chickenpox Characteristics
Though it's often not a serious disease, one of the most interesting aspects of chickenpox is how highly contagious it is. If you've never had chickenpox, simply being around another person with chickenpox while they're coughing, sneezing, breathing or touching you is enough to pass along the disease.
A person with chickenpox can even spread the disease one or two days before the spots appear, and they can continue to spread it until after scabs have formed on all the blisters. People with an active shingles infection, which is caused by the same virus as chickenpox, can also give chickenpox to someone who has not had it. If there's any good news about this easy transmission, it's that you are usually immune for life once you've had chickenpox.
Prevention and Treatment of Chickenpox
Far and away the best method of prevention is to get the chickenpox vaccine, or ask a health care provider about the vaccine for your child. It is usually administered in two doses. Almost no one who receives the vaccine gets chickenpox. And in the rare instance that it does occur, the symptoms are generally mild.
Most children with chickenpox can be treated with at-home therapies. Calamine lotion and colloidal oatmeal baths can help soothe the skin, and acetaminophen can help relieve pain. Keep a careful eye on symptoms and contact a doctor immediately if you notice a high fever or a fever that lasts more than four days, blisters that are larger, more red or oozing pus or other alarming symptoms such as vomiting, severe cough or difficulty breathing.

Every time I look up there's another guy I've never heard of coming in to pitch. Most of those guys, one can only hope, we'll never hear of again.
It doesn't take very long for me to fall in love.
Only about 30 seconds.
That's how quickly I fell back in love with baseball once the shortened season finally got underway. Nate Eovaldi uncorked the very first pitch of the year for a strike, a 100-mile-an-hour fastball on the inside part of the plate. That got me infatuated. I equate 100 miles an hour with the days of Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson when balls thrown at that speed were unhittable. Nowadays, though, when it seems that half the pitchers in baseball hit triple figures on the speed gun, hitters have learned to get their bats around on them and even occasionally hit them.
Barely half a minute later came Eovaldi's next offering, a cutter at 93 that broke to the outside corner. A pretty good pitch, but the batter, Austin Hays of the Orioles, swung and got the barrel of the bat on it, sending a fly ball to right field. The ball kept carrying and carrying, all the way out toward the bullpen. But right fielder Kevin Pillar, who'd been playing somewhat shallow, raced back at full speed, stuck out his glove and made a nifty back-handed catch before crashing into the bullpen wall, which, thankfully, is well- padded.
Just like that, I was head over heels in love with baseball again. In less than a minute, I had been witness to: the duel between pitcher and hitter; a 100-mile-an-hour heater; and an outfielder combining the grace of a ballet dancer and the courage of a race car driver to make an outstanding play. All the standoffs between the owners and the union receded to the back of my mind, and I began thinking about the game again.
I thought, what a great pick-up Pillar has been, a gold glove-caliber defender whose natural position is centerfield. Then, I thought, wait a minute, that's Jackie Bradley's position. Pillar can't be the regular right fielder because that's where Alex Verdugo is slated to play. Verdugo, just a second-year guy, has a high ceiling on offense as well as defense, and he's the guy we got for Mookie Betts. The position is his to lose, at least for now.
The Sox can make it work for the short haul, but there's no way that Jackie Bradley, Jr. and Kevin Pillar are both going to be with the team next year when, hopefully, there will be a full season of baseball. Both will be free agents and the Red Sox are bound to choose one and let the other walk. Carrying both would be a luxury, especially when there is such a crying need for pitching.
Every time I look up there's another guy I've never heard of coming in to pitch. Most of those guys, one can only hope, we'll never hear of again. It seems like such a short time ago when one of the Red Sox' strengths was pitching. Come to think of it, it was just a short time ago. It slips away in a hurry, huh?
One of the first hard lessons I learned as a Red Sox fan is that good pitching wins. Conversely, lousy pitching puts teams in the dumpster. It's as true today as it has always been.
Full disclosure: in the first five games I never made it through a single one without switching channels. When your team gets down by four or five runs, what happens in the next inning doesn't seem as compelling. When your team is ahead, you can last until the lead stretches to eight or nine runs, but not beyond that. I keep tabs of developments on my phone, but I confess that, though I love baseball, I haven't always been a faithful lover.
I've been switching to a sitcom from more than half a century ago -- The Dick Van Dyke Show. The death last month of its creator and producer, Carl Reiner, of whom I was a big fan, led me to do so, and I have not regretted it. It was a terrific program, and many of the early episodes were written by Reiner himself. Van Dyke was a wonderful physical comedian and a pleasing character, but the real revelation was the actress who played his wife, Mary Tyler Moore. She was unknown and only 24 years old when the show debuted. That made her too young to be the married mother of an eight-year-old son, which her character was, but she was enchanting in the role.
Speaking of enchanting, and getting back to baseball (well, kind of) I had dinner the other night at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Charles Steinberg, the president of the PawSox, is the creator and producer of "Dinner on the Diamond," and when it comes to putting on a show, he's right up there with Carl Reiner. On weekend nights, the outfield at McCoy is transformed into a family restaurant, with about 25 picnic tables spread across it and socially distanced from one another. The menu consists of regular ballpark fare (hamburgers, hot dogs, fries) but also includes items such as barbecue platters and lobster rolls, the quality of which I can attest to personally. Steinberg himself -- who rose to fame around these parts by staging such memorable events at Fenway Park as the memorial service for Ted Williams and the park's 100th anniversary -- circulates around the tables telling wonderful stories about the game. He's baseball's version of Anthony Athanas, the legendary operator of Boston's long gone but sorely missed Pier Four Restaurant.
Only one bank of lights is turned on, creating the perfect atmosphere. Steinberg's concept is a smash hit. Look for the same thing to happen at ballparks all across the country next year. You haven't lived until you've sat in an outfield, munching on a lobster roll and watching the sun go down beyond the outfield wall. Reservations are required and it's always a sell-out, so don't be shut out.
With the news so ominous these days, for baseball and for everything else, it's nice to be able to think about things as disparate, yet as pleasing, as Kevin Pillar's defensive skills, Mary Tyler Moore's smile, and Charles Steinberg's creative genius.

Cokin, a French-based optical filters manufacturer has introduced the world's thinnest lens filters.
The French company is one of the most popular optical filter makers in the world thanks to its Creative Filter System. Today, the company introduced a new set of filters called Pure Harmonie. As a result, they have become the thinnest lens filters in the world and the Cokin Pure Harmonie filters are available for purchase right now.
Cokin Pure Harmonie UV filter
This is the thinnest filter of them all, as it measures only 3.3 millimeters / 0.13-inch. The Multi-Coated Anti-UV filter was designed to become the "contact lens for your lens" and to be "almost invisible" when mounted on a lens. It reduces haze and, at the same time, it protects lenses from scratches and dust.
The Pure Harmonie UV MC also cuts down fogginess and ensures "impressive transmittance," says Cokin. Apparently, the filter is made of highly-resistant glass, but despite that, it does not add too much weight on a photographer's camera gear. It is available starting at $50, and price goes up depending on lens size.
Cokin Pure Harmonie Circular Polarizer filter
This is the lightest and thinnest circular polarizing filter in the world, measuring a mere 4.5mm. Cokin claims that it is excellent at reducing reflections, including from non-metallic subjects like windows and water. The C PL filter will absorb reflected light and will deliver better cloud pictures, says the manufacturer.
Cokin added that the Circular Polarizer filter offers the best light transmission in its class as it cuts down reflections, while boosting colors. Furthermore, low-light photography is improved thanks to the 1 f-stop factor, while the filter can provide effects that cannot be found in post-processing software.
Cokin Pure Harmonie Variable Density Neutral Gray filter
Although it is the thickest accessory of the three, it is also the thinnest variable density neutral gray filter in the world. It measures only 9.5mm and it supports a f-stop range between 1 to 8+. F-stop can be set by rotating the filter's front ring from ND2 up to ND400.
It is aimed at professional photographers who want to shoot motion blur photography. Shutter speed can be decreased, however, waterfall and cloud photography will still come out with motion blur effects. The ND filters will not interfere in any way with color rendition. The ND X filters are available in multiple sizes, the most expensive of them all costing up to $200.

When I saw Kim Carney's post advertising positions for staff writers at her new web magazine, Virtuosity Worldwide, my heart fluttered and I got all warm and buzzy inside. Since I tend to make most of my life decisions with my heart, I knew right away that this was something I had to do.
Following my heart is not always the easiest thing, yet thankfully it seems to be the most rewarding. This was no
different. The story of our encounter was truly insightful and foreshadowing.
I met Kim shortly after submitting my music to an online radio station she was working for at the time, when she was perusing jewelry creations in my Etsy store. She had just lost her feathered friend, Horton McFlutter, a beautiful cockatiel, and a pair of feather earrings caught her eye.
She reached out to me explaining why these called out to her. I immediately felt a connection with her because I also had a feathered friend named Leroy (also a cockatiel) when I was a kid. My heart
fluttered then too. Once again, my heart led me to design a custom feather set, inspired by her late Horton and we shared stories of our long lost feathered friends.
Anytime there are feathers involved, I know it's divine. Birds are covered in feathers!! This was the start of a beautiful budding friendship.
Fast forward to now, Kim and I are on completely different paths geographically, but one thing has remained the same, our desire to help make each other's dreams come true. Kim has not only been on board for all my crazy dreams, but she is a tenacious cheerleader for them.
I've always been told the quickest way to make your dreams come true is to help make someone else's come true, so when she told me of her dreams to have her own magazine supporting indie artists like me, I was instantly on board and became a cheerleader for her too.
I know the synergy of this collaboration will bear delicious fruit for everyone involved. I can't wait to see how Kim's ideas manifest into a worldwide movement and pave the way for indie artists, like me.
Her vision spreads far beyond the standard business relationship between music industry folk and the artist. She is breaking the mold and will no doubt make history by doing so. This is something I am proud to stand behind.
"It takes teamwork to make a dream work" it reads on the front page of the VW website, and this is the dream team I've been waiting for.
My aspirations of becoming a writer started many years ago in grade school, when my creative stories wowed teachers and won awards. In college, I turned my deepest darkest emotions into poetry and then into songs in my 20's & 30's. Now in my 40's, after a decade long successful career in music, plenty of ups and way too many downs to mention, I look forward to turning my experiences into informative accounts filled with witty humor, truth, and of course plenty of inspiring HOT MESS woo woo.
I am so grateful and humbled by this opportunity, to spread the thread on this exciting new platform alongside my friend and partner, Tenacious K aka Kim Carney and everyone else at VW.
I've always been told I had a big mouth, now it's gonna be even bigger! Thanks to VW for the rousing new adventure!
Make sure to tune in and get turned on with Hot Off The Mess!! Coming soon to Virtuosity Worldwide, LLC.

So Sweet, I Could Choke

"You are part of me," it said before we both slept.ReplyDelete
This is perhaps the scariest of parasitic truths.
Love this! <3 Love the thought and execution of thisReplyDelete
An excellent way to start a story, Rommy, with a scent in springtime! I love the tree able to only 'speak in creaks' and the alliteration in the description of the voice 'flush with flowers and green'. Just the voice had me guessing what it could be that would keep a tree warm. I love the creepy ending.ReplyDelete
The voice of the intruder chilled me... It's almost loving, which makes the intentions even more horrific. I hurt when the tree loses personality and voice. Those ending sentences cut in all sorts of ways.ReplyDelete
The tone and the pacing work so eerily well.Replies
Nice personification. Was this inspired by Emily Dickinson? I know she often used bees as symbolismReplyDelete
There is something chilling with a parasite this beautiful... there is something so chilling with a parasite becoming really part of the tree... this could be a fairy tale but it's notReplyDelete
This is incredibly dark and chilling! I get the sense of eternal battle between good and evil in this one. ❤ReplyDelete
What I love about this is so rarely do we read imaginations so wed to nature. This isn't someone observing fluff on a tree in Central Park, but is inked in the very sap of the victim. And there's such a tender tree-slowness to this. Have you read Richard Powers' "The Overstory"? A novel about trees where humans are peripheral.ReplyDelete
Oh, poor tree! I love the point of view.......this was cool to read. I always feel sorry for trees in winter. They must be so cold, naked as they are.ReplyDelete
intriguing... and that last line!ReplyDelete
And i love "you were once an acorn. Things change."ReplyDelete
How delighted is the parasite seeing its victim losing battle! So deadly. It happens everywhere.ReplyDelete
Very thought provoking! Loved the sinister beauty of your words. We, as humans, have much in common with this plant. Are we not parasites sucking the life from the very thing that nourishes us?ReplyDelete
Ooooooh, that final line! Have fun in NYC!ReplyDelete
I sense a bad romance with an extremely cruel and domineering partner. Sad couple, too submissive other didn't help one bit.ReplyDelete
Lovely write, enjoy your conference.
Rommy- this is amazing. I would like to know more about his too. Such an air of mystery in your write.ReplyDelete
OOOO, a horror story! With a bit of humor in its center: "And you were once an acorn. Things change." I was surprised at the complete takeover, though I shouldn't have been. A hauntingly effective story.ReplyDelete
This story reminded me of a disease that hit many maple trees in this area a few years ago. The smell was not sweet as it smelled of dying leaves. Many were worried trees would die, the disease spread from tree to tree. I am happy to report the maples are thriving this year and the disease did not take any lives.ReplyDelete
Your tree is mysterious as the write and I wonder what type of tree was this?
Excellent tree story. Love the point of view and these lines in particular:ReplyDelete
""You were only a bit of fluff, blown onto my branches last year."
"And you were once an acorn. Things change."
Good writing - kudos on the direction you took the prompt in. Needless to say, the story became that much more compelling when, ultimately, it was pinned to the liner notes. It gave me pause - the idea of 'beautiful' destruction - because, when you think about it, the nebulous aesthetic of beauty (concrete cities, a flashy gas-guzzling car for every individual, etc.) is a big part of the reason we're in the environmental mess that we're in.ReplyDelete
What an engaging story Rommy I loved it. I often wonder whether we humans are a parasite too as we tend to destroy everything we touch; forests, rivers, seas and our fellow inhabitants!ReplyDelete
Great title! Followed by a story both enthralling and quietly horrifying. May we hear – REALLY hear – all such tales before it's too late!ReplyDelete
I find this story delightful, even with a scent that could choke. I especially like the answer, "I'm part of you." because it just shows that all living things are connected. They grow and flourish as they lean on each other, even parasites play a role in an ecosystem.ReplyDelete
But how exciting to hear you are visiting a friend in NYC. I hope you (or your friend) will share your great finds from BookCon, and what you all got up to...lol!
*shudder* Creepiness, achieved. :) This is awesome!ReplyDelete
Oh, that last line is so dark, ominous. I so love this dark piece. It fits my mood.ReplyDelete

State drug agents uncover possible meth lab in Caribou
Friday evening raid is second in as many days in Aroostook County
For the second time in as many days, Maine drug agents have uncovered what they say is a meth lab in Aroostook County.
Agents found evidence of a meth lab at a mobile home on Old Washburn Road in Caribou Friday evening while executing a search warrant on an unrelated matter, according to Steve McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Agents later arrested the homeowner, 47-year-old Keith Tingley Jr. He was charged with trafficking of methamphetamine. Tingley posted $20,000 cash bail and was released early Saturday morning from the Aroostook County Jail.
On Thursday evening Thomas Lowery, 36, of Houlton was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine after his garage at 5 Johnson St. caught fire. The Houlton Fire Department contacted drug agents who allegedly found evidence that methamphetamine was being made inside the garage.
McCausland said the Caribou raid marked the 10th time this year that drug agents have responded to a methamphetamine lab-related incident.

He's been independently writing a story over the past few days but I have no idea as to whether this is acceptable for his age. I think it's great but I'm his mother. There are spelling and grammar mistakes but what do you think? Sometimes he's written 'my' for 'me' but I think this was down to him rushing to get his thoughts out. He's written about 5 pages so far There are no paragraphs as I haven't taught that yet. He's WWE 3 and FLL3. Sorry the pictures aren't the best quality. Link to post Share on other sites

MARB members praise West Haven fiscal progress but will keep Tier 4 on the table
Members of the state Municipal Accountability Review Board praised city officials Monday, June 4, for the work they've done so far to get West Haven back on track, but will recommend leaving "Tier 4" status open as a possibility, for now.
Tier 4 is a higher level of supervision under which the MARB would have the power to pass and implement an interim budget, raise the city's tax rate or impose mid-year spending cuts and have greater latitude to approve or disapprove new labor contracts.
"I appreciate that the city has made an effort to avoid that outcome by enacting a set of budget provisions that, with a couple of areas of uncertainty, largely accomplishes" the goals the MARB has set out for the city, said state Office of Policy and Management Secretary Benjamin Barnes, the MARB's chairman.
He spoke after the MARB's West Haven Subcommittee, which met Monday afternoon in City Hall, reviewed a host of budget city budget changes and updates.
The subcommittee was to make the recommendation to the full board when it met Thursday in the State Board Of Regents Boardroom.
The MARB, created this year, is working with both West Haven and Hartford to improve their finances. The two currently are the only Connecticut municipalities at Tier 3 status.
But while West Haven has made much progress — not the least of which was finally agreeing on a budget that relies on what MARB members considered to be more realistic revenue projections, then setting a tax rate that included a one-mill increase — members still have some questions.
"I'd like to get a better grasp on health insurance, where that's going to be as far as costs go," said MARB member Patrick Egan, former New Haven assistant fire chief and executive officer and former president of the New Haven firefighters union.
"I think the city has made significant progress," and while "we certainly haven't dwelled on it ... I'm pleased to see that the city has recognized the need to move the mill rate," said MARB member Tom Hamilton, chief financial officer for the Norwalk Public Schools and a former West Haven finance director.
"I think that that's significant and necessary under the circumstances, and so I think the city, with these revisions, has made substantial progress," Hamilton said. "I'm not sure they're quite there yet. I agree the health insurance is an area that I'm not comfortable with yet."
Hamilton also said that "Tier 4 in my mind is still something potentially still on the table. But I think that there's been a lot of progress," he said.
MARB member Scott Jackson, state commissioner of labor and the former mayor of Hamden, said that at this point, "I think we need to figure out where this year ends. I think the red items need to be addressed" and the city needs to show "what the long-term viablity of the plan looks like.
"I do think that the steps that have been taken over the last couple of weeks haven't advanced the city toward Tier 4 status in any way," Jackson said. "It's at least held steady. I look forward to seeing how the projections for year end go.
"I do think that the mayor and her team and the finance director and her team have done a lot of work to move this budget forward," Jackson said.
Barnes said one possibility, given that a new fiscal year is about to begin in less than a month, would be to see how the work the city already has done works out.
"If things don't go well, we would have an opportunity" to make the move to Tier 4 well in advance of the start of the following fiscal year, he said.
Mayor Nancy Rossi thanked the MARB subcommittee for its input.
"I want to thank all of you for your time," Rossi said. "We're going to do our best as a city to avoid Tier 4. We've shown cooperation between the City Council and the mayor's office to do this."
The council finally approved a budget on May 29, nearly a month after it let Rossi's $162.86 million recommended budget go into effect by default — but with a $3 million hole because its counted on $3 million in MARB money that later proved not to be available for operations.
The budget passed May 29 contains a number of cuts and raises the citywide tax rate, not including the additional tax rate for fire service, by one mill, from 35.26 mills to 36.26 mills. Each mill represents $1 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
The Allingtown fire tax rate, the only one the city controls, will rise to 13.06 mills.
Barnes had told the council that if it did not not pass a budget by Thursday's MARB meeting, West Haven might have faced the possibilty of the MARB pushing the city up to Tier 4, which would have meant a further loss of local control.

Raphael J. Moses Collection (MC 57)
Biographical Note
The Moses family was prominent in Columbus, Georgia, before, during and after the Civil War. Raphael J. Moses was born in 1812 and reared in Charleston, South Carolina. He prepared an autobiography in the 1890s at the request of family members. After becoming a lawyer, he migrated to St. Joseph and Apalachicola, Florida, and then to Columbus, Georgia in 1848, where he became involved in a wide variety of businesses. From his estate, Esquilene (now Benning Hills), he shipped some of the first Georgia peaches to the North. During the Civil War he served as commissary officer for James Longstreet's Corps. His observations about Confederate leaders, recorded in this autobiography, are widely quoted. He remained active in politics and economic matters after the war. His well-written autobiography gives a penetrating analysis of Columbus's power structure before and after the war. After becoming involved in a dispute over fees with William H. Young of the Eagle & Phenix, Moses became a leader of the "outs" political faction and actively fought the influence of Young and his institutions. He died in Brussels, Belgium on October 13, 1893, but is buried in Esquiline cemetery in Columbus.
Scope and Content
The collection includes a volume of photocopied magazines and newspaper clippings, as well as correspondence pertaining to Raphael J. Moses and his family; the restoration of Moses-Levy Cemetery Grounds (Esquiline) by the Jewish War Veterans Pose #455 in 1960; and the Civil War Memorial service at Esquiline hosted by Post 455 in 1973.

We recently ran an article about some major developments that will impact all employers as a result of the recently passed tax reform bill. But now you might be asking what specific changes might be in store for gig economy businesses. You've come to the right place, because we have the answer.
As reported by the Boston Globe, the tax bill also contains provisions that will benefit small-business owners and those doing business for themselves. First, it will sharply lower taxes for small-business owners, which could very include some of those performing work for gig companies. Second, and more importantly, it will also reduce taxes for those individual freelancers and independent contractors who are drawn to the gig economy because of the freedom it provides them. As explained by Tim Logan, "the new law changes the way 'pass-through' companies — which pass profits directly to their owners as personal income — are treated in the tax code. Now many will be able to cut 20 percent off their taxable earnings. Someone earning $50,000, for example, could only have to pay taxes on $40,000." Previously, these workers were taxed at the personal income rate, which was not lowered at the same scale as the corporate rate in the new law. That led lawmakers to devise this additional provision to ensure small businesses received similar benefits as bigger corporations. While originally intended to aid companies that are capital intensive, it will also aid any gig worker that incorporates their business to take advantage of the law.
This is great news for gig companies, as your workers will have an additional incentive to provide services for your digital platform. It should also lead additional workers to jump into the pool and join the burgeoning gig economy.

My current new favourite designer is Zeynep Arcay.
I chose this red dress for a lot of reasons:
- 1 think 40s shouldn't wear a mini skirt with too low of a front.
- 2 The turtle neck balances the uber mini
- 3 bright red as it still looks chic and age appropriate, well I think it does, doesn't it?
I like my legs. They are probably one of my favourite assets and my view is while I've got them I may as well flaunt them.
Red on blondes are one of sexiest colours and it makes you stand out when you walk into a room. It totally lifts my mood and makes me feel happy, sexy and confident.
My shoes are Gianvito Rossi cage boots. I love nearly everything of theirs. But there are also a lot of good brands out there that do really cool ankle booties. I have an obsession with ankle boots at the moment. They're a really cool alternative to a court shoe. I matched the look with gold rather than silver because I feel gold is warmer especially on my skin tone. It's over all a richer look. I wore it with just a simple gold clutch. In this instance I want the dress to be the main focus and not the accessories. I wouldn't want them to overpower what is already a very striking dress.

Fox News fans melt down after their favorite network supports CNN's Acosta: 'You are dead to me'
Fox News fans are not happy that their favorite network is filing an amicus brief on behalf of CNN's Jim Acosta, who had his White House press pass revoked by the Trump administration last week.
"Fox News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter's press credential," Fox News President Jay Wallace said on Tuesday. "Secret Service passes for White House journalists should never be weaponized."
After Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz tweeted out Wallace's announcement that his network would be supporting Acosta's challenge to his press pass getting revoked, he was met with heavy criticism from several of his followers, who saw Fox's decision to show solidarity with CNN as a clear betrayal of President Donald Trump.
Check out some of the reactions below.
First Tell me where the first amd guarantees you access to anyone and anywhere?
If I was @realDonaldTrump @PressSec I would solve the problem by NOT holding any press briefings! Kinda of takes the poor media (FYI that isn't needed anymore) out of the POOR LITTLE OLD ME coverage!

So every drawer and cupboard, box and corner has been turned out.
I have tried to be sensible about all this and just doing a couple of hours each day and keeping up life as we know it as well.
I have a new bedroom and a new bed ... first night used last night and I slept all night awaking at 8am today ... have not done that for weeks and weeks so it must be comfortable, warm and cosy.... must admit I was tossing and turning quite a bit in the old bed, may be it was time for a new one. The lady in the shop says the manufacturers recommend every 10 yrs to change your mattress... wow! ours must have been 20 yrs from what I can remember.The cat seems to appreciate it so I guess that's all that matters.
So I am going back to almost basics...Oh yeah! watch this space, as I said the intentions are there but guess the heart and head will be not so willing.
So back to work and stop wasting time on this infernal computer .. what a time waster it can be what starts out as a 10 minute email and blog check ends up a couple of hours.... mind you some folks can be really strict ...Oh well not me!!

Time Management – the key to a successful pre-registration year
One of the most important features of the Scheme for Registration (SfR) is the need for short and long term planning so that you are able to prepare effectively for the assessment visits and final examinations. Time Management is an effective results tool used throughout all successful businesses.
Effective planning can help you to achieve:
- Better results
- Better overview
- Better utilization of your time
Most of us create lists in one form or another; for example task lists or reminder lists. Most lists usually will have some reference to time; for example whether the tasks need to be completed today, or over the course of a week. In the main, however, most of us never accomplish everything on our list; often we set our expectations too high, give some important tasks a low priority, or complete the things on the…

What do computer algorithms have in common with stand-up comedy?
Nothing much, besides the fact that they were both topics of classes taught at the inaugural Splash at Harvard. This past Saturday, about 150 high school students streamed into Harvard's Sever Hall to take classes taught by over 50 undergraduates for an entire day of intellectual exploration.
Splash is an educational outreach program that brings high school students onto college campuses for a day to take classes taught entirely by undergraduates.
These classes are on anything that undergraduates are passionate about, featuring topics that are not usually covered in a traditional high school curriculum.
I participated in it myself as a high school student, taking classes like "The Meaning of Life as Explained By Astrophysics" and "The Art of Rhetoric" that blew my mind and cemented my love for learning. At Splash, I also began to see myself, a first-generation college student, succeeding in a college environment, as I developed friendships with my undergraduate teachers who seemed surprisingly similar to me and as I learned to challenge ideas in the college classrooms.
When I arrived at Harvard, I was shocked that there was no educational outreach program like Splash. Almost every other major university I knew had their own Splash program, including several colleges in our immediate vicinity.
I thought, if Splash did not exist at Harvard yet, why don't I start it myself?
Last spring, while taking an engaged scholarship class in the sociology department, I hatched my plan for Splash at Harvard. I conducted research on both the current education-related programs at Harvard and traveled to Yale to observe their program to see whether such a program was both necessary and feasible at Harvard. The answers to both questions were yeses.
This year, I've had the honor of seeing this mere idea of mine turn into a reality on campus.
After I created my plan, I gathered a small team of Harvard students who also cared as much as I did about conducting educational outreach to increase access to higher education. We worked over the summer to create the framework of our new student organization, which we named the Harvard Undergraduate Studies in Education, and became officially recognized by the College in the fall.
After approval, we immediately started working on Splash by adding more members to our team to create a full executive board for the spring. Together, we worked tirelessly to make Splash happen as early as this spring.
We wanted Splash to be an accessible, enriching, and fun experience for as many high school students as we can accommodate this first year.
To do so, we partnered with local organizations for sponsorships, created a financial program for low-income students, recruited a diverse cohort of undergraduate teachers, and reached out to underserved schools in the Boston area to spread the word about our program. We strived to anticipate every single detail of the event to ensure that it ran as smoothly as possible.
When the day of Splash finally arrived on April 27, we could see our hard work come to fruition. Witnessing students in our custom-designed Splash at Harvard discuss their day's schedules excitedly with one another filled my heart with joy. Seeing the undergraduates teach their classes with such passion and enthusiasm made me want to become a high school student and participate in Splash myself again. At the end of the day, when a freshman girl came up to me and said that she wanted to teach her own Splash course one day as a Harvard student, I was ecstatic that Splash was making an impact on students' aspirations, if only for one student.
At this Splash, I had to opportunity to kick off the event by giving a speech about my own experiences as a first-generation college student and how I was inspired to start Splash at Harvard.
While it was no easy task to coordinate such an initiative, I am glad to find that Harvard was open to students starting their own initiatives on campus.
Regardless of the obstacles that will inevitably appear in the creation process, as long as you and your team believe strongly in your vision to implement something on campus, there is unbounded potential for this vision to grow into a reality at Harvard.

dont know what happened there, but still think it will benefit everyone if things happen to work out in the future.
1) maybe SZ management is clever enough to realize that sucking up to retailers by censoring site content will piss off sz members (also a source of revenue now)
2) maybe some retailers are clever enough to realize that negative feedback can be useful in actually improving a flawed service offer
3) maybe some of the affiliates retailers are actually of the type that would get positive feedback in a thread like this, rather than negative
and even if there is a conflict of interest, that doesn't make the thread itself pointless, now does it - at least not until it is censored...
Maybe both of you need to chill the fuck out before you go making judgments about SZ management.

If you happen to order from the Lanvin e-store be prepared to have to write five emails to get a response, and not be disclosed the tracking number for your shipment.. which is quite a pain if you have a day job and don't know when the shipment is going to arrive.
LN-CC on the other hand provides everything one can wish for in terms of customer service. I know it's already been mentioned here quite often ;)
How about PRICES? I think LVR has one of the highest retail prices online, whereas Antonioli usually has the lowest.
Are you sure about that ?
LVR and Antonioli have exactly the same price on same items. Don't know about Antonioli about shipping but I can count to LVR for an express free shipping.
But maybe depends locations...
LVR > Thecorner.com > Antonioli , from my experience.
A discussion of prices isn't needed, SZers know the price of everything...
Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.
so for me, LVR is a lot cheaper than buying stuff in the designer's stores (for example, rick is about 5-10% cheaper on LVR that in rick stores).

'Aussie' (AUD) Rally Continues as 'Brexit' Fears Seep Over to Eurozone
The EUR/AUD pair has fallen by a considerable -1.0% in total today as investors see the Australian Dollar as the more appealing of the two currencies amid ongoing Eurozone economic concerns.
On top of ECB criticisms, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released statements today implying that a 'Brexit' (the UK leaving the EU) would not just affect Britain negatively, but Europe as a whole.
The BBC reports the IMF as saying that such a move could cause regional and global damage, and the possibility of a 'Brexit' is starting to weaken not just Pound Sterling (GBP) but also the Euro, allowing the Australian Dollar to push EUR/AUD down even further.
- European Central Bank (ECB) Faces Criticism – German officials frustrated with easing
- German CPI On Track – Continues recent trend of healthy German data
- Risk-Sentiment on the Rise – Oil and Australian data helps drive Euro down
- EUR/AUD Rally Over? – Further ECB statements may continue to weaken Euro
After last week's bullish run, the EUR/AUD exchange rate seems to be cooling, with the European Central Bank's (ECB) latest minutes release causing concern among investors and criticism of ECB President Mario Draghi from German officials.
EUR/AUD is currently down almost -0.8%, having already dropped over -100 pips from this morning's levels of 1.5032. The pair currently trades in the region of 1.4913 close to a weekly low.
Euro (EUR) Pressured as Tensions Rise Between ECB and Germany
The Euro felt immediate pressure as markets opened this week. While the ECB's minutes initially left investors with mixed feelings about the shared currency, ECB criticism from German officials has influenced investors to become bearish on Eurozone health.
During March's ECB announcements and statements, ECB President Mario Draghi made a passing comment on 'helicopter money', that is, the concept of directly giving money directly to citizens in order to stimulate purchasing. It is, as of yet, an experimental concept that has never been exercised by a major economy.
Draghi, now infamously, called the concept 'very interesting', which stoked protests from Germany. As the Eurozone's biggest economy, officials and citizens from Germany consider this kind of extreme easing to be harmful to their nation's economic health.
At the end of last week, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble blamed Draghi's words for the rise of a right-wing, anti-immigration party known as Alternative for Germany (AfD). The party has quickly grown in popularity, becoming the most popular right-wing party in the nation since World War 2.
German data also continues to print optimistically, unlike most Eurozone data, with March's final CPI print coming in as forecast, 0.8% month-on-month and yearly inflation of 0.3%.
'Aussie' (AUD) Boosted by Rising Risk-Sentiment, Positive Australian Data
Soft Chinese data has been unable to hold the Australian Dollar down as it pushes back against the Euro this week. The key Chinese CPI report printed at 2.3%, below forecasts of 2.4%, in a blow to commodity sentiment.
However, optimistic commodity data and other factors such as a dovish Federal Reserve have allowed risk-sentiment to keep improving regardless. Still in quite a volatile state, risk-on movements this week have been largely inspired by continued optimism towards oil prices.
The key global commodity may begin to see long-term recovery if OPEC members can agree to 'freeze' production and improve demand.
Fresh Australian data also helped to boost 'Aussie' sentiment. In particular, the NAB business confidence figure was revealed to have doubled from 3 to 6, showing that businesses in Australia were optimistic about the future.
Other Australian data to print well included credit card data, with balances and purchases both up in February from their January scores.
Euro to Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD) Exchange Rate Forecast: 'Aussie' Rally Likely to Continue
As the European Central Bank continues its attempts to weaken the Euro in order to stimulate the Eurozone economy, it is unlikely to give the common currency reason to strengthen any time soon.
Some ECB members are due to speak this week, and it is currently unknown whether they will address the German concerns raised. Continued tension between the ECB and the Eurozone's biggest nation is likely to weigh on the single currency.
Eurozone industrial production data for February is due for release tomorrow and is currently forecast to have softened in both monthly and yearly reports. If the figure prints even worse than expected, the Euro will likely struggle.
Wednesday also sees the release of Australia's Westpac consumer confidence report for April. With the previous figure at a negative -2.2%, there's a lot of potential for improved 'Aussie' sentiment if it prints optimistically.
Investors will also be anticipating Thursday's Australian employment data. Unemployment for the nation is currently forecast to worsen to 5.9%, a figure that could dampen AUD sentiment.
The Euro to Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD) exchange rate currently trades at around 1.4913, while the Australian Dollar to Euro (AUD/EUR) exchange rate trends in the region of 0.6703.
