Dream 1 - Future
I remember that it was like I travelled to the future and my name was 'Shin'. This is the exact storyline from a light novel I'm reading, 'The New Gate'. After arriving it turns out I have been a leader or something which is why I was so strong.. I think? Most of this is learned through observations while being guided around town, I'm trying to stay on the down low.
Dream 2 - Avalanche
I'm on a snowy mountain walking by a wooden hut on my left, to my right is a valley that rises up into more snowy peaks on the other side. Some kind of loud noise (maybe?) goes off and I immediately think that the other side of the valley will have an avalanche. Sure enough, cracks in the white snow start appearing but they spread, "oh ****". I originally thought I was safe on this side, but the cracks spread out in front of me. There's going to be an avalanche... I turn tail and run, trying to get beyond the collapsing slope but I'm just not fast enough. I'm sliding on the snow down slope and I start running atop the snow in an attempt to not get swallowed up by the snow. Even this fails me, and the snow soon consumes me as it roils downhill. I've stopped and I think I'm a couple metres beneath the snow, I won't be able to breath.. I need to do something! I end up waking up.
Dream 3 - Survivor
This dream seems heavily inspired by Fallout 4 at least in theme.
I'm in my hometown in the basement of the arts building (though the basement doesn't exist like it did in the dream). The basement was dark with stone walls, it continued for some distance like it was some sort of tunnel. The place was dark, dirty and damp. There had been some kind of apocalypse event and there were maybe 3 others in the basement with me. One was an dark skinned old man, another was a crippled white woman in a wheel chair, I can't remember the last person.. Oh and I also had a little white dog. I was in third person, the person I was looking at (me) was the dad from 'Mr Robot'. He was in what can only be described as an empty mining shaft or elevator shaft. I/He was unconscious and there was a ladder behind him. There were people on the surface world who were kind of like the orchestrators of the apocalypse, they end up doing some douchey things. They act like we need to be quarentined, and they end up killing my little dog. They send down this machine via the elevator shaft, it descends and looks like it will crush me but as it descends it gets caught on the ladder which crumples slightly beneath the pressure. So close, the machine is only an inch away from the unconscious me. I wake up around this point, I think I had been tied to a chair or something, and managed to get out. While I'm still sitting a saw blade swishes past my head but can't get me. I decide to move now, and start climbing on the machine (it's really big height-wise, which reaches all the way up to the top of the shaft). This part is quite difficult to describe, I remember the details of climbing up through this place quite well but it'd be too hard. I remember when I was close to the top that there was someone else with me, another guy about my age, I think it may have been Daniel. We're at the top and look around us at our home village... It's night time and there is a kind of festive vibe to the lights around. There's a bunch of cars passing by on the road in front of us, I remember the red tail lights looked very vivid as they passed by. I think me and Daniel may have spoken, but we didn't need to say much. We knew we had to run or we'd be caught, so we ran across the road and started heading off in different directions. I woke up as I reached the other side of the road

On the basis of the information obtained during the review, ERO considers that Wentworth Primary meets the criteria for registration as a private school set out in the Education Act 1989.
The Chief Review Officer has a statutory duty to report on the performance of private schools throughout New Zealand.
ERO reviews of private schools are significantly different in process and more limited in scope and reporting than those for state and state-integrated schools, focusing as they do on the Criteria for Registration set out in section 35C of the Education Act.
Section 35I of the Education Act 1989 requires the Education Review Office (ERO) to review private schools and to report to the Ministry of Education on whether each school continues to meet the criteria for registration. The schools are privately owned and the legislative requirements are significantly different to those for state and state-integrated schools. Private schools are not required to follow the National Education Goals or National Administration Guidelines.
What does apply in place of the legislation imposed upon state schools by the Education Act is the contract between the persons paying for the tuition of the child at the school – the parents – and the school authority. Those are matters between the parent and the school's governing body. More information about ERO reviews of private schools can be found on ERO's website www.ero.govt.nz/Reviews-Process.
The criteria for registration are that the school —
a) has premises that are suitable, as described in section 35D; and
b) usually provides tuition for 9 or more students who are of or over the age of 5 years but are under the age of 16 years; and
c) has staffing that is suitable to the age range and level of its students, the curriculum taught at the school, and the size of the school; and
d) has equipment that is suitable for the curriculum being delivered or to be delivered at the school; and
e) has a curriculum for teaching, learning, and assessment and makes details of the curriculum and its programme for delivery available for parents; and
f) has suitable tuition standards, as described in section 35F; and
g) has managers who are fit and proper persons (as described in section 35G) to be managers of a private school.
Wentworth Primary School is a fully registered, private, co-educational school in Gulf Harbour, Whangaparaoa. It caters for students from Year 1 to 6. The school opened in 2008 and the student roll continues to increase. In response, the school has employed an additional classroom teacher. The school is managed by the Wentworth College Education Trust Board. The executive principal has overall leadership responsibility for both Wentworth Primary School and Wentworth College.
Strong links between the primary school and the college include an emphasis on school-wide principles and values. The school's curriculum is based on the recently adopted International Cambridge Primary curriculum for mathematics, English and science, and The New Zealand Curriculum.
A sense of family, identified in earlier ERO reports on the school, continues to underpin the school tone.
The school meets requirements relating to the provision of a suitable curriculum. Since ERO's 2011 review, the school has expanded its curriculum focus, using specialist teachers to provide an emphasis on science learning. The curriculum is very well communicated to parents in school publications and during parent evenings. The school partners with parents to meet the unique needs of each child. Students, teachers and parents collaboratively develop students' academic and personal goals. Written reports to parents about their children's learning and achievement in all curriculum areas are useful and informative.
Parents, students and teachers have high expectations for every student to achieve. Students achieve well in nationally normed assessments and there is good evidence of their progress throughout the year. Students benefit from very favourable student to teacher ratios and small class sizes. Wentworth school values are clearly demonstrated in relationships and caring for others. Students are encouraged to contribute to community wellbeing.
Students with special needs and abilities are very well catered for. Leaders have continued to investigate ways to enhance the already high levels of reciprocal collaboration with Wentworth College. This collaboration enables primary school students to experience a seamless transition to the college, as well as experiencing a variety of additional learning opportunities and interactions. There are many opportunities for students to develop and display their leadership capabilities. Teachers are continuing to consider ways of supporting students to further develop as self-managing and independent learners.
The school has suitable standards of tuition. Students are happy, confident and articulate. They enjoy warm, affirming relationships with teachers and their peers. Teachers provide well planned learning programmes with a focus on New Zealand's context. Leaders continue to develop an emphasis on New Zealand's bicultural heritage within the curriculum.
All teachers are registered. The executive principal mentors teachers towards full registration. Both teaching and non-teaching staff demonstrate a high level of commitment to supporting each child's personal growth and development, learning and achievement. Specialist teachers from the college enhance the Wentworth Primary School curriculum in science, art, music and second language learning.
ERO's 2011 report noted that the school's performance management system was under review. The school and the college continue to work together to implement an effective, school-wide, annual performance appraisal system for all staff.
The school is well equipped for teaching and learning. Students learn in an attractive environment that is well suited to the size of the school and the delivery of its curriculum. Classrooms are well presented, bright, and reflect students' work. An additional feature is the school's access to high quality sporting resources through the use of college facilities and all-weather Astroturf. Students are successful in their sporting ventures.
School managers have attested that they comply with the provisions of section 35G of the Education Act 1989 in respect to their being fit and proper persons to manage the school.
Good systems are in place to assure the Wentworth Education Trust Board that its other statutory obligations are met. Many health and safety policies and procedures are shared with the college. The principal agrees that it would be useful to ensure that there is a clear distinction between college and school documentation.
The school is a signatory to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students (the Code) established under section 238F of the Education Act 1989. No international students were enrolled at the time of the ERO review. The school has attested that it complies with all aspects of the Code.
Since ERO's 2011 review, the school has amended its prospectus information for international students attending the primary school. It now includes information about its provision for classroom-based second language learning.
On the basis of the information obtained during the review, ERO considers that Wentworth Primary meets the criteria for registration as a private school set out in the Education Act 1989.

My friend Jayne has thrown down a challenge: Write a story (beginning, middle and end) that hints at a larger story, but is complete within itself, in 25 words or less. Because I can never resist a challenge, I decided to give it a shot. Because I'm slightly crazy, I came up with two submissions. I hope you enjoy them and please visit Jayne's hint fiction post, give her some love and see who else has participated. Or throw your own hat into the ring.
The Challenge (15 words)
"You know, it's a lot harder than I expected."
"Yeah. I hear that a lot."

As they led the young man from the room, he watched with savage satisfaction as a woman sobbed. Now they both lost a child.

The Montreal impact ended 2019 MLS Preseason presented by Advocare on a high note, defeating D.C. United, 3-0, at Al Lang Stadium Saturday night on goals by Ignacio Piatti, Maxi Urruti and Mathieu Choiniere.
Piatti scored the lone goal of the first half, capping a nice combination with Saphir Taider and Urruti with a calm finish.
Le but de Nacho. Nacho's goal. #IMFC pic.twitter.com/EwgbDuiQEh— Impact de Montréal (@impactmontreal) February 24, 2019
D.C. United were awarded a penalty kick in the 69th minute when Evan Bush clattered over Steve Birnbaum on a lofted service. But much to the disappointment of the crowd who were chanting "Rooney, Rooney," the penalty was wiped out on Video Review due to an offside infraction before the foul.
Urruti added an insurance goal in the 79th minute, putting a low shot past Bill Hamid after latching onto a service by Choiniere, who grounded Gonzalo Jara with his dribbling.

Choiniere then closed out the preseason in spectacular fashion, latching onto a bouncing ball and unleashing a stunning volley from distance under the crossbar in the first minute of stoppage time. Consider Impact coach Remi Garde impressed.
« J'ai eu des frissons. Quand on aime le foot, c'est un but magnifique. C'est un but plein d'envie. Il n'a pas réfléchi. On travaille pour amener le ballon jusqu'aux 30 derniers mètres et après, c'est le talent. Il en a eu et je suis très content pour lui. » - @Remi_Garde#IMFC— Impact de Montréal (@impactmontreal) February 24, 2019

Yes, the streaming audio works too... but have to find more ways to limit the bandwidth before I attempt to run it up to my server, or I'll swamp my neighbor's DSL connection.
Finally got my Mandelbrot applet to restart after browsing to another page and coming back to it. I'd left stopRequested set to false, so it refused to repaint. By setting it to true in the init() method, it decided to work again. Go figure. So I also added a destroy method to force a gc() on the colors vector, and re-created it in init(). I guess I never was really comfortable with my understanding of the Applet life-cycle, but it's starting to come together after, what, about 20 years?

Postscript on student jobs
According to www.keepbritishdesignalive.com, 'In 2003-2004, 140 000 students completed a further or higher education course in design. According to the industry, 6315 graduates got jobs in design during 2004-2005' (Letters, DW 25 May and 1 June).
And, according to Design a New Design Industry – Design Skills Consultation, 'Simply finding meaningful work placements in industry for every student is nigh impossible. Twice as many design graduates are unemployed six months after leaving university than all other students.' 'Nuff said?

If you liked the holiday cheer in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, then you'll probably want to grab this last-minute stocking stuffer. Film Music Reporter reports that "Sony Classical and Sony Pictures Animation will release a new soundtrack EP featuring the Christmas songs recorded for the studios' Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, including Chris Pine's rendition of Spidey-Bells (A Hero's Lament)." The full song plays over the credits and it goes to some pretty funny places.
Here's the full track list:
Joy to the World – Shameik Moore (1:40)
Spidey-Bells (A Hero's Lament) – Chris Pine (2:41)
Deck the Halls – Jake Johnson (2:05)
Up on the House Top – Chris Pine (1:45)
The Night Before Christmas 1967 (Spoken Word) – Jorma Taccone (2:45)
Personally, I'm very interested to hear 'The Night Before Christmas' from Taccone, who, for those who don't know, is also a member of The Lonely Island and directed MacGruber.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the gift that keeps on giving, and this should be a fun little album to add to your collection. If you want to give the full, "Spidey-Bells (A Hero's Lament)" a listen, check out the video below. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is now in theaters and you should absolutely go see it if you haven't already.
Here's the official synopsis for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse:
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that's the first of its kind. Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

The Palestinian Liberation Organization has received a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of an amount of 15.0 million USD for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority to finance the Social Protection Enhancement Project (the Project). The development objective of the Social Protection Enhancement Project for West Bank and Gaza (WB and G) is to establish a single targeting and referral system to provide cash benefits and services to poor and vulnerable households. The project comprises of four components. The first component, cash transfer program (CTP) support will finance cash transfers for about 5,000 households in the WB and G, representing 4 percent of the total of the CTP. The second component, social registry (SR) will provide technical and financial support to: (i) develop, feed, and update the SR inclusion and information system (architecture, software, hardware, operations manuals (OMs), and household registration, among others); (ii) establish a legal framework for it as functional entry point for social programs; and (iii) assure the transition of beneficiaries of CTP and other programs into the SR. The third component, case management system (CMS) will finance the development and implementation in selected areas of a CMS. The fourth component, project management and monitoring will ensure that the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) team is operational and the project is implemented in accordance with the grant agreement and the project OM.
MoSD is the implementing agency for this Project. A Project Management Unit (PMU) will be established within MoSD and will be composed of consultants in various fields, to manage the overall implementation and coordination of the Project. MoSD is considering the appointment of qualified PMU Director and Communication Officer for the PMU.
The PMU team will be housed within MoSD in Ramallah. The duration of each assignment is one year on a full-time basis, extendable to the full length of the Project (4 years).

Run mummy run!
Posted by Carly Dove on
If you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen that I've entered the ballot for the London marathon in 2018! Eek! I know it's really unlikely I'll get a place, but you never know!
I've also entered a local 10K in July and a half marathon in September. If you'd told me this a year ago, I'd have thought you were mad! I started Couch to 5k about this time last year, having never run before and never thinking it would become such a part of my life.
As a mum it's so hard to fit in self care, and this includes exercise. I really struggled up til recently (March). I'd been trying to run three times a week, but with a non-sleeping baby and a husband with erratic work hours, it just wasn't happening. I'd be too tired to get out early enough before husband left for work, and was always ready with an excuse that made it not my fault. It wasn't until I started running 5-7k with the buggy three times a week I really got it nailed - it helps because I'm not relying on anyone else to get out there, I don't need childcare, and I'm awake and out anyway to drop my 4yo at pre school. The only excuse I now have is "I don't want to" - and that's just not good enough!
A big contributing factor to this new mindset was the Supercharged Club - a course all about changing mindset, achieving goals and making better choices. I'd recommend it to anyone who is really ready to make positive changes in their life. It's not a magic fix, you need to do the work, and so you really have to want to make it work if you're going to get the most out of it, but for me it's been so worth it.
I also love the RunMummy Run Facebook group,which is full of inspirational ladies!
And if I get into this bloody marathon I'll need all the inspiration I can get 😂😂
Me and my running buggy buddy 😍

Municipal Pioneers
More U.S. Cities Leaving the Grid[dropcap]N[/dropcap]assau, New York, a town of 5,000 outside Albany, plans to ramp up a combination of rooftop- and ground-mounted solar, wind turbine and landfill methane-capture technologies to generate 100 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020. "If all goes as planned, within the next four years, all six of the town buildings will be disconnected from the grid," says Nassau Supervisor Dave Fleming.
The New York Department of Public Services wants this trend to grow through its Reforming Energy Vision (REV) initiative. Governor Andrew Cuomo's administration is actively working to help municipalities, especially core towns and schools, move toward getting a significant portion of their power from renewable resources. Smaller, cleaner, power systems are less costly and cleaner alternatives to the traditional larger electrical stations.
San Diego, California, recently committed to securing 100 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2035. It's the largest American city to do so. Already, at least 13 U.S. cities, including San Francisco; Burlington, Vermont; and Aspen, Colorado, have committed to 100 percent clean energy. Las Vegas is among other major cities aiming to follow suit. Hawaii has pledged the same by 2045, the most ambitious standard set by a U.S. state to date. Source: EcoWatch.com

When positive thinking and jealousy can be a good thing
We all suffer from jealousy to some extent – it's an integral part of human nature to be envious and desire and want things that others already have. But believe it or not, jealousy and positive thinking can be incredibly compatible because it can help you to focus your mind on what you really want in life.
Please do not confuse every day envy with the type of compulsive jealousy that can destroy lives and relationships. Positive thinking and jealousy do not relate with such emotions, especially when they turn into anger and in extreme cases – violence.
The secret is to recognise when a little bit of old fashioned envy can be a very good thing. You can be genuinely pleased for example when someone else succeeds and as you pass on your congratulations you can still forgive yourself, even if you subconsciously wish it had been you.
However, there is nothing positive if that jealousy turns you into a two faced gossip, praising someone directly while complaining afterwards to friends or colleagues that they did not really deserve anything. There is nothing good about that kind of jealousy and in such cases – try as hard as you may - positive thinking will not help you to attract what others already have.
You can admire someone's good looks, personality, possessions and wish they were yours – it's the most natural of reactions and you should be grateful for them. They are telling you what you would like and if you are the type of person who practices regular positive thinking – then you will soon have those things in your life as well.
What I am really talking about here is the subtle differences between good and bad jealousy and if you can recognise them for what they are, then you can use these emotions to spur you on to greater things.
This particularly applies to material possessions. I love the way that my American readers react when they see someone with all the trappings of wealth. They mostly and invariably react positively, determined that they will soon attract something similar into their lives.
Sadly there are many in the UK that take the opposite response. They see an expensive car and immediately resent the fact that someone else owns it – and it has even been known that some go on to show their appreciation and jealousy by damaging the vehicle.
We have seen the rise of internet trolls who take comfort in their anonymity to spew bile and anger at others who they feel have achieved more than they have. They believe it gives them the right to complain when all they are really saying – is that they resent that same lack of success in their lives.
It's all a question of balance. Be as jealous as you like but turn it into a positive by vowing to attract the same things into your life. You can even write down that you are so jealous of something that others possess that you would like something just the same.
Think about it – this is a very precise specification to the Universe. There is no confusion or ambiguity so the chances are you will attract exactly what you want, especially if you have applied a bit of common sense and action.
It is jealously – that little bit of green that has acted as the catalyst to make you do something and the Law of Attraction will be firmly on your side. You must of course be very careful to ensure that your mild jealousy never turns into resentment as you will quickly undo all your good work.
And the good news is that when you start doing all this there is another particular bonus. You have acknowledged that it is ok to be jealous from time to time even when you are genuinely pleased for another.
It is also OK for you to want to share or have some of that success – it does not make you a bad person – it just makes you human – and that's when jealously and powerful positive thinking can really work for you.

Jones Act Maritime Injury Claims Against Iquique U.S.
Iquique U.S. is one of Alaska's largest commercial fishing companies. Iquique U.S. owns four large factory trawlers: F/T Arica; F/T Unimak, F/T Cape Horn, and F/T Rebecca Irene. The four vessels operate in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska catching and processing ground fish and cod. The vessels head and gut the fish and freeze the fish at sea.
Working aboard factory trawlers can be dangerous work if proper safety procedures are not followed. When an injury occurs the injured fisherman is entitled to make claims under Federal Maritime law. Where the crewman is injured through negligence or unseaworthiness, compensation may include payment of damages for medical expenses, lost past and future wages, lost wage earning capacity, pain and suffering damages and other general and special damages.
In almost all instances where a crewman is hurt or injured working aboard an Alaskan fishing boat, the crewman has the right to claim benefits under the "maintenance and cure " doctrine. Comparative fault does not bar maintenance and cure claims. An injured crewman has the right to seek compensation for aggravation of preexisting medical conditions. The negligence of a fellow crewman is grounds to make claim for compensation under the Jones Act.
Every vessel owner owes each crewman aboard their vessel a safe place to work. Crewman must be properly trained and supervised. Equipment must be maintained in a condition which allows its safe use.
The lawyers at Johnson Beard & Trueb are recognized as one the nations leading maritime injury law firms. Our lawyers have been trusted for over 30 years to protect the rights of Alaska fish processors, deckhands, and crewman. The lawyers at Johnson Beard & Trueb have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for crewman injured working for Alaska fishing companies. The lawyers at Johnson Beard & Trueb only represent injured crewmen and do not represent marine insurance companies.
Contact Johnson Beard & Trueb to discuss your potential maritime injury claim. Call us today toll free at 1-888-277-0661 or 907-277-0161.

Under The Needle: A vending machine to crow about ...
The idea came to Joshua Klein about 10 years ago at a cocktail party. A friend complaining about noisy crows in his yard suggested he'd like to see the flock of corvus americanus meet an unfortunate end, eat worms from the other side of terra firma, wake up 6 inches under.
"It seemed like a bad idea to me," said Klein, who grew up in and around Seattle, attended Western Washington University and now lives in Queens, New York. "I like crows. I thought maybe we could teach them something useful."
A crow, given a retort beyond caw, might argue that her species accomplishes plenty every day, what with garbage to scatter, road kill to eat, trees to swarm, squirrels to harass and wake-up calls to make. But Klein didn't consult the crows.
Instead, the 33-year-old senior technology principal with Frog Design and self-titled inventor turned to a reliable partner: his own creative hubris. After the cocktail chat, Klein studied crows for six years and validated what he already suspected: They're unusually smart. They learn from each other. And there are loads of them.
Thus, the idea for a crow vending machine was born.
Hold on now. No, the machine doesn't dispense a live crow following payment (although the idea does hold a certain appeal). Rather, the machine dispenses a peanut every time a crow drops a coin in the slot. More coins, more peanuts.
As the theory goes, teach one and then that crow shows others. Sit back and rake in the dough.
Klein had to test his hypothesis. He found a man in Ithaca, N.Y., with a pet crow. (This man and his crow both shall remain nameless because it is illegal to keep crows as pets.)
Klein built a machine that looks somewhat like a short, free-standing drinking fountain minus the spigot. (www.wireless.is/index.php)
He paired the crow with the machine and made sure it always had both food and coins near the hopper. After it became accustomed to the peanuts, he took them away, leaving only coins. Irritated, the bird scattered around the coins looking for a nut. When a coin fell in the hopper, a peanut was dispensed.
The crow, like the rest of us, eventually learned that dropping a coin into the slot produces results -- newspaper vending machines aside.
Next step: seeing if this crow can teach others. Klein found another species adept at collecting chump change -- graduate students -- and now has a project with the Ithaca Zoo's crow exhibit to study whether crow populations spread their vending machine knowledge.
"We know in the wild crows will learn from each other," he said.
This much is true, experts say. Crows are not simple, methodical biological adaptors; they also quickly adapt culturally, like human teenagers.
In a famous documentary video shot in Japan (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ny661wLDSn8) crows taught themselves to use passing cars to crack nuts and learned to do it at stoplight-controlled intersections, collecting the meat at red lights without getting crushed.
Klein doesn't see a city filling with crow vending machines as the only possibility. If a crow can pick up a coin for a peanut and then learn to gather coins from an area for the reward, why not teach them to gather trash?
While admitting some worry of running afoul of powerful garbage collection unions, Klein noted: "(Crows) are very adaptable, like other species that have learned to thrive in urban environments."
Fair point.
Can rat recycling be far behind? Will a coyote hold free parking spaces in Capitol Hill? Will raccoons, if plied with salmon, fill the thousands of empty seats in KeyArena and sit through Sonics games?
That might be asking a bit. There are cruelty laws, after all.

Alarmingly weak job creation, which has been the shameful hallmark of the Obama economy, went from bad to worse last month.
The nation's employment rolls rose by a tepid 142,000 in August, the economic equivalent of a thimble full in the world's largest economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also reduced its job number estimates for June and July by 28,000.
It was another painful reminder of the president's failed, anti-job, anti-growth economic policies over nearly six long years when millions of Americans still can't find a good, full-time job that paid a living wage.As usual, the gloomy BLS report came and went without a serious response, or an apology, from the White House. Democratic leaders remained embarrassingly silent on the issue that is hurting the middle class, the very people they profess to care so much about.
Only this time, some of the most powerful sectors in the national news media, who have long been sugar-coating similarly weak job reports, or making excuses for them (blaming the weather or Republicans), have begun to get tough with the administration.
Some in the media are no longer pulling their punches about who the voters will hold responsible in November for the administration's worsening economy."With Friday's disappointing jobs report for August, Democrats can pretty much give up any remaining hopes that voters will shake their gloom about the economy before this fall's midterm elections," writes Jackie Calmes, the New York Times' veteran Washington political reporter.
A Washington Post/ABC News poll published Tuesday said that 54 percent of Americans now disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy, with only 42 percent (the base of the Democratic party) saying they approve.
Virtually every survey in recent years has found that the economy and jobs are the chief concerns of the American people. And that hasn't changed. Last week, the George Washington University Battleground Poll reconfirmed that finding.
It also found that likely voters believe the Republicans, by a wide margin, would be far better at dealing with the economy than the Democrats -- 49 percent to 42 percent.
The Post/ABC poll also found that on the question of who will you vote for in the House elections, "the numbers are clearly favorable for the Republicans."
The economic and political climate is now so bad for the president and his party that the New York Times has begun comparing Obama to the time when Jimmy Carter presided over a distressed economy that led to a severe recession. Carter's advisers had another word for it at that time: malaise.
Americans remember that President Reagan ended the recession in only two years with a soaring recovery that created huge monthly new job numbers in the 400,000, 500,000 range, and up.
Last week's New York Times' jobs story ran under the bluntly worded headline, "Job Growth Is Sluggish, Raising Fear of Malaise."Notably, the Times led with one of the most frightening parts of the jobs report that was buried or ignored by much of the news media:
Its pull-no-punches lead read: "Missing: nearly three million American workers."They were referring to the vast number of discouraged
Americans who have given up looking for a job, shrinking the nation's work force, but also driving down the unemployment rate because they were no longer counted among the unemployed.
Obama apologists maintain that the sharp decline in the nation's labor force participation rate was largely due to the retirement of aging baby-boomers. That is just not true.
Times reporter Nelson D. Schwartz points out that "25-to-54-year-old workers are quitting as well. Just over 81 percent of this group was in the work force last month, compared with 83.4 percent in early 2007, equivalent to the disappearance of nearly three million workers."
According to a study of the latest BLS economic data by Barclays, "younger men in particular have given up and dropped out in large numbers," Schwartz writes.
As bad as all this is for the economy, and for a growing sector of involuntarily jobless Americans, an even bigger income problem plagues people with jobs, young, college educated adults just entering the workforce, and blue collar workers.
Wages have been largely flat over the past five years of the so-called "recovery." College graduates are now forced to take lower paying jobs once claimed only by high school graduates, if they're lucky, the result of a persistently weak economy. The number of factory jobs was unchanged last last month, and retail jobs fell by 8,400.Other statistics are coming to the surface, as the U.S. economy shows signs of further deterioration under the Democrats.
The Gallup Poll released new statistics showing that "new businesses are in decline," as capital investment has continued to shrink as a result of deep uncertainty over the economy and the Obama administration's attempts to hike corporate taxes and impose new regulations on the business community.
As the November elections draw nearer, the likelihood is that the economy's troubles will loom larger than ever. The jobs picture isn't going to improve anytime soon and the third quarter economic growth rate is shaping up to be in the mediocre 2 percent range.
It's still "the economy, stupid," and Americans won't be fooled this time. Obama and the Democrats are in for yet another shellacking.

Samsung has nearly finalised its first in-house GPU design according to a report published by ZDNet Korea. It is thought that a new SoC, incorporating its own designed GPU, could be unveiled at the International Solid Circuits Society Conference (ISSCC) held in San Francisco in February 2015. The GPU may even be employed in one of Samsung's flagship devices next year.
Samsung has been beavering away on its own GPU designs to break away from its dependence upon purchasing IP licences for its processors and even buying-in processors from the likes of Qualcomm for some of its devices. Currently Samsung's Exynos range uses a Mali GPU design licensed from ARM to accompany the ARM Cortex core. However the popular Qualcomm Snapdragon uses the Adreno GPU IP bought from AMD a few years back.
Late last year there were discussions in an investor conference call about Samsung designing its own CPU core. That paired with its own GPU design and LTE modem could result in an all-Samsung SoC and license fees significantly reduced, if not eliminated. With processor design and manufacture in-house and being a maker of a multitude of devices Samsung would have an amazing amount of control on its business.
Samsung is also said to be working on its own 64-bit CPU core design
Nvidia Legal tussles
ZDNet's report quotes a Samsung exec confirming that the company is urgently trying to develop its own GPU. This is in the face of the Nvidia legal conflict that flared up in September. Please check through previous our SamVidia reports on HEXUS here. Ironically the legal problems stem from Samsung devices using Qualcomm Adreno GPU core technology in their Snapdragon powered variants.

Natural culture stone is a stone mineral mine that is mined in nature. Among them, slate, sandstone and quartz stone have been processed into a decorative building material. There are two main types: marble and granite. The natural culture stone is hard, bright in color, rich in texture and different in style. It has the characteristics of compression resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance, cold resistance, corrosion resistance and low water absorption. There are two main types of natural cultural stone from the material: one is sedimentary sandstone and the other is hard slate.
In addition to the relatively regular shape of the natural stone paving accidents, the rest of the shape is difficult to lay, and the construction is relatively troublesome. The price of natural cultural stone is generally around 100-130 yuan per square meter.
Second, PU culture stone price reference guide - the price of artificial culture stone
In the 1960s, a stone mason named Mason in the United States invented the principle of "artificial culture stone", and later Garrett and Floyd Brown developed materials for "artificial culture stone" using materials such as pumice. The artificial culture stone has a lighter texture, higher strength, lower water absorption rate and better anti-freezing property. Moreover, it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, with zero carbon dioxide emissions and no radiation.
The classification of cultural stones is generally similar, generally including stone rock, great wall stone, castle stone, flowing stone, small rock, wood grain stone, antique brick, coral stone, and whole body brick.
Easy to install and cost-effective. It is not necessary to rive it on the wall and can be directly pasted; the installation cost is only 1/3 of the natural stone. More choices. The styles are various in color, and the combination makes the wall surface full of three-dimensional effect.
The price difference of artificial culture stone is relatively large, and the products produced by small factories and brands are also very different.

Hello! We are in Southern California now!
Addie, Jane and I headed down from San Jose and met up with Nicole in Irvine:
Nicole was my Bible study teacher senior year of high school and was a great mentor for me for many years. It was so great to see her again!
We walked around the plaza (where 85 degree C Bakery is) and decided to eat sushi! This place is called Kula Sushi and it's $2.00 per little plate. We ended up getting 20 plates and being completely stuffed. If you're not good at math, that's $40 bucks for sushi for 4 people = 10 dollars per person.
Here is Jane and Nicole:
Here is Addie and me:
We just ate a bunch of bread in our hotel room:
And we's about to get our face masks on (they were 10 for 10 dollars, hehe).
I love having this road trip with the ladies! Hope you enjoyed your Monday. God bless you!

Dear Friends[divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="20″]
of TwinRock,
TwinRock and the financial markets had an unexpected year in 2017. But – if you went with the stock market's momentum as we advised – you nevertheless did very well. The financial markets provided great returns and the real estate markets continued to make front page headlines.
However, it's important to read between the lines, where the details are in the numbers, as we will explain in this Q4 2017 Newsletter. This year seems to be a different story, with 2018 being a year in which active investors will outperform.
First, we are proud to announce that our first two funds were fully liquidated. One yielded a 21.7% annual compounded rate of return to investors, or a 2.2X return on their investment. The other yielded a 22.5% annual compounded rate or return to investors, or a 2.1X return on their investment. Both liquidations were based on our planned holding period, along with the view that the market is topping out.
The market statistics may vary depending on which reports you read, but they all conclude that commercial real estate sales were down year-over-year (6.9% according to ARA Multi-Housing), and rent growth was slower than the prior year.
While the sources below show forecasted rent growth immediately stabilizing, it's important to note that the chart is self-serving for its distributor, ARA, a real estate brokerage company and NKF Research and Axiometrics.
In fact, the rent growth rate continued to decline well below the average the last two times when it met the long-term average annual rate. Note that in the past 17 years rent growth during this market cycle has double the average length of time above the long-term annual average rate. In addition, capitalization rates or yields for 2017 were flat. Capitalization rates or CAP rates are a measure of valuing a property dividing the net operating income by the sales price.
The below chart shows that although the spread between the 10 YR UST and national cap rate is around its historical average, the spread is shrinking. It will be important to watch the direction of the 10 YR UST. As of today it is up 0.45% to 2.90%. At some point there will be an increase in borrowing costs which in turn will increase cap rates.
We don't think it is a stretch to state that it is unlikely that interest rates will decrease from here on out. After all, we are entering a market where the Federal Reserve and the rest of the world's powerful central banks have indicated that they will raise rates in the future.
The chart below illustrates not only how low cap rates are across the country, but also how close the spreads are between primary, secondary and tertiary markets for multi-housing. When you see only a 1.2% spread between cap rates in Los Angeles compared to Oklahoma City, that is a clear warning sign that there has been too much money pushing prices up without factoring in enough of a risk adjusted return. When this is taken into account, the spread should be closer to 2.5% between these cities.
When you combine slower sales volumes, declining rent growth, flat yields and rising interest rates that will likely continue rising due to strong employment and wage growth . . .
That would explain why the FTSE Nariet Equity REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) Index was only up 1.2% for 2017 vs. the S&P at 26.5% and TRVOF at 9.4% (our fixed income and equity fund).
Financial markets are leading indicators of the future performance of the economy. So, it is only logical to conclude that a softer commercial real estate market is ahead of us – and this is without considering the new construction coming to market in 2018 and 2019.
While we may sound pessimistic, we also believe that if you have holding power, real estate values will always go up over time in well located markets. This makes real estate an asset class of choice – along with a balanced fixed income and equity portfolio.
Although as of now there are no future catalysts on the horizon, 2018 is already experiencing extreme volatility. That's why adding more risk at this time needs to be tempered through more conservative investments. It is important to keep in mind that psychology moves markets. With most major investment banks forecasting a recession by the end of 2019 or 2020, it is prudent to except that a recession will actually arrive before then.
After all, do you really think that if the smart money tells you when an event will occur, that they won't already be ahead of it? This is a rhetorical question, and you only need to look at January's move in the stock market for the answer. There was no fundamental reason why stocks went down, other than sophisticated investors warning the markets that they have moved up much too quickly and that a correction was needed.
In addition, to the success of liquidating our first two funds, we have been very successful executing our investment strategies on our following four funds and our valuations of our hard assets. We are also proud that our investment thesis to invest in distressed Alberta, Canada is proving correct. We called for a rising Canadian Dollar (CAD) to the U.S. Dollar (USD) and increase in oil prices from January 2016. Since then the CAD has increased 13% and oil has increased over 100%.
While our quantitative investment strategy has proven to work in numerous investments over the years, recently we did get one wrong. We want you to understand that there is nothing more important to us than taking care of our investors. That is why we work so hard and have offered recourses that are above and beyond industry standards.
At TwinRock it is our integrity that guides us and excellence that we seek.
Alexander Philips
Chief Executive and Investment Officer

Norcia and Castelluccio di Norcia
For this blog post I went to Norcia. Norcia is in the mountains in the east of Umbria, almost in the Marche. Many people know Norcia for its meats and culinary specialties: pork, black truffle, lentils and wild boar. But, Norcia is also famous for St. Benedict. Benedict was born in 480 in Nursia, what is now Norcia in Umbria.
St. Benedict is the founder of the Benedictine Order and to this day his monasteries follow the rules he set out for them: Pax (peace) and Ora et Labora (pray and work). His rules ar not only followed in his monasteries but also acknowledged worldwide as a way of living peacefully in a community. Living a life of prayer and work is the basis of Benedictine life inside and outside the convent, for his followers and none.
Norcia is also famous for the "Norcinerie", the pork and ham products including the wild boar and black truffles and lentils. The "norcini", pork butchers of Norcia, prepare cured meats and cheeses in a traditional way. Norcia is a beautiful "gastronomic" village. You find many "norcinerie" and other boutiques. Many shops showcase a variety of meats, ham, cheeses (ricotta for example), lentils and spelt. Be aware, you'll get hungry walking around here!
The Piano Grande with the small village of Castelluccio di Norcia in the centre is at only 40 minutes driving from Norcia. The best time to visit Castelluccio di Norcia is from end May until July for the "Fioritura", when the Piano Grande is covered with colorful blossoms of the lentil plants.
I love the Sibillini Mountains and Castelluccio di Norcia. I like hiking there. Last year I made some beautiful trekking tours with "Trekking in Umbria" in the Sibillini Mountains.
Making pictures from the Piano Grande and Castelluccio is fabulous. Especially when you walk uphill from the village. The views of the valley are amazing.
I decided to have lunch at a typical restaurant. I sat outside with other "locals" and tourists enjoying a good lentil soup with a glass of local red wine. A simple dish but very tasty. And as dessert you must taste the fresh ricotta cheese with chestnuts and honey. Delightful!
The name of the restaurant is Locanda dè Senari. A charming place!

I have been to Norcia a few times and always enjoy it. Castellicio is a very unusual and interesting village
What an amazing landscape… Beautiful food too. Perfection again in Umbria! xx
Thanks for the Like and and I enjoyed your description of a very different restaurant from Clarice's! As you said, Norcia is just over the border from me and you have really tempted me to visit the place and try the Norcinerie.
[…] last time I was in Norcia was in 2015 two years ago. On a warm summer day I made some pictures of this typical village in the mountains. The Cathedral of Saint Benedict, the square, the statue and the lovely delicacy […]

"To see or become entangled in power-lines represents your struggle for power or empowerment. You are experiencing an obstacle toward your goal." -dreammoods.com
Saturday, December 13, 2014; Unconscious dreaming
I was on a job site on a clear blue day with my youngest son Daniel, who had recently picked up a job as a crane operator. It had been several years since he had been in a crane and he asked me to come out to give him a refresher course. When I arrived on the job, I saw that the crane was a 50 ton all-terrain Grove.
He informed me that the crane had just been delivered and was sitting in the spot where he would be operating it. Immediately I saw that the crane was under multiple high-power-lines.
"You can't operate any crane that close to power-lines, not without a cage around the boom or the lines de-energized," I told him.
"They have been de-energized, there's no juice going through them at all," he responded.
The superintendent approached and told Daniel he needed to come to his office and fill out some paperwork. While Daniel left to fill out his paperwork, I walked over and set up the crane. I wanted to get a feel for how it ran in case there were any glitches that I wanted Daniel to be aware of.
With the crane up on outriggers, I scoped out the boom a few feet and then boomed up. I swung the crane around but within a couple of degrees it seemed sluggish and came to a stop. I looked up and became terrified; I had allowed the boom to become entangled in the overhead power-lines. I quickly began manipulating the boom up and down, back and forth and anything else to release me from the lines.
The more I tried, the more entangled the tip of the boom became; eventually the lines became taut and began snapping from the pole. I shook my head and could not believe what I had done. I was a professional and had done something that most amateurs would never have gotten themselves into. I knew the damage would have to be repaired and decided to move the crane from the spot and at least clean the lines off the tip of the boom. I put in the outriggers and began moving the crane across the job away from the pole. Part way across I realized I had made yet another mistake: I had not scoped in the boom nor lowered it.
The crane was now top heavy and began to sway back and forth; before I could bring it to a stop, I had crossed into a deep rut in the ground to my right, and quickly the crane toppled to that side. In those same moments, thoughts of causing hundreds of thousands of dollars damage to the crane, power-lines and the site crossed my mind, not to mention destroying my career and my son's chance to get a job. The collapse of the crane was what woke me.

Mercedes has embraced the wave of alternative living that has encourages hundreds to embrace the world of camper vans. The German company has developed various technological advancements that transform simple homes on wheels to advanced, sleek, camper vans that challenge the apparent limit on what life in a van can truly look like.
Sprinter Connected Home
The Sprinter Connected Home is another one of Mercedes' advancements in the alternative living market. The benefit of this camper van is the streamlined control between driving and living aspects of the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz Advanced Control, more commonly referred to as MBAC, is the design from which the Connected Home is built. Essentially, MBAC removes any separation between the living and driving interfaces of the vehicle, in order to create one smoothly conjoined camper van. Components that traditionally operate separately are now fused into one interface, which allows for the unification of every camper van component.
Mercedes has stated that their Sprinter Connected Home is "close to production." However, the MBAC system is the beginning of the technological growth of connected interfaces. Now, with this system, everything in the van can be controlled remotely via a smartphone. That means the internal temperature, refrigerator temperature, music volume, lighting, locks, awning, and more can all be controlled from one device. The simplicity and reduction of controls of this advancement is yet another of Mercedes' step in innovating the camper van.
Mercedes has stated that it will be possible to include the MBAC system into conversions as early as 2019, making this not so much a concept as much as it is a reality.
Concept Marco Polo
Mercedes' Concept Marco Polo camper van further elevates the MBAC integrated system. The Marco Polo not only hosts the centralized control system, either via smartphone or from a separate display within the van, but uses this display to control various other aspects of the camper van. The "Concept Marco Polo" uses this integrative technology to control further comfort components of the van, such as controlling the air suspension in order to level the vehicle on uneven ground, unfolding the electric seat in the rear of the van, and controlling the pop-up roof. In addition, the Concept Marco Polo has no need for windows or curtains, since it is able to darken its own windows. It does this through liquid crystals that sit in the side windows, and on command, darken the windows.
Voice Command Technology
The Concept Marco Polo also utilizes voice command to make it even more technologically advanced. For example, upon hearing the words, "Hey Mercedes, it's time to chill out," the Concept Marco Polo will automatically level the vehicle, turn on the music, widen out the awning, and turn on the dimmed lighting, set to a level that comfortably sets the ambiance. Utilizing the solar power, all this is done in a way that is environmentally friendly and quite possibly as easy as any user interface could be.
Reversely, when it's time to head out, the words "Hey Mercedes, get ready to leave," the magic happens in reverse. Everything is brought back in, level controls are turned off, and the vehicle instantly becomes ready to take off, in an effortless way.
Hydrogen-Fueled Mercedes Sprinter
It seems like a no-brainer, but living in a van requires a significant amount of driving. After a few gas station stops, it turns into ten gas stations, which quickly turns into tens and tens of gas stations, both the wallet and the environment take a hit. This dilemma has been debated by many vanlifers, the question of how to pursue their passion whilst reducing or eliminating their environmental driving impact.
The Mercedes Concept Sprinter F-CELL camper van is an alternative and innovative way to address this problem. Similarly derived from the technology of the Mercedes GLC F-CELL, this sustainable Sprinter stores its fuel cell under the bonnet, replacing where a diesel engine would traditionally sit. The fuel cells generate electricity, which in turn goes to the electric motor and transmission, located in the rear of the van. From there, the transmission generates 197bhp. The electrical output of the F-CELL Sprinter is roughly 147 kW, with a torque averaging 350 Nm.
The new Sprinter F-CELL has three tanks of hydrogen, amounting up to 186 miles of driving. However, a fourth tank can optionally be added to the back of the van, increasing its driving range to approximately 310 miles. The F-CELL also has the technology to function as a hybrid, since it has plug-in electricity. This small battery pack adds another 18 miles to the camper van range.
Another benefit of the F-CELL is that the same electricity used to power the van can be used for appliances that typically require an accessory battery, such as a refrigerator, water heater, and stove. This is a beneficial option for those who do not wish to plug into various campsites in order to recharge their house battery, or who do not have a consistent solar panel to charge their appliances.
The F-CELL camper is still in showcase, meaning it hasn't been released to enter mass production just yet. The judgment is still open on whether or not the F-CELL is worth mass production.
One problem with the Mercedes Concept Sprinter F-CELL is the availability of hydrogen fuel technology. Mercedes may be, in essence, too far ahead of their time. Without proper infrastructure to support the realistic use of these vans, driving and living out of one before the world adjusts to the concept of hydrogen-powered vehicles might prove too difficult to justify mass production.
Whether or not the F-CELL Concept Sprinter ultimately goes into mass production, Mercedes is still committed to creating battery battered vehicles. This year, they are producing the eVito and next year plan on putting their eSprinter, an electric-powered version of the popular Mercedes Sprinter, into mass production.
Mercedes' efforts highlight the sustainability problem that manufacturers and engineers are working to tackle. In order to create energy efficient and realistic vehicles for long-term usage, hydrogen power might be the next promising tool.
Mercedes' new camper van models are a true testament to the growth of the "vanlife" movement. Through impressive technological advancements, they continue to impress us with their innovative and creative ways to enhance mobile living.

In Terms of Pink
White Zinfandel has certainly ruined many opportunities for roses in the United States. Slowly they are appearing in restaurants and at wine bars, yet, it is only the brave that are drinking this pink sensation. The rest of us, myself included until recently, don't want people to believe that we might be drinking White Zinfandel. In reality, the only person that will care, and should care, what you are drinking is you, unless someone else is buying your drink, but that is more geared for the topic of economics, which I won't be covering here.
I was recently at a wine bar in Paris with friends for dinner. When it came time to order our wine, I was looking at the reds, and by accident I ordered a Cotes-du-Provence thinking it was red. The server came back with our drinks. We had a rainbow of wines sitting on our table, one ordered white, another red, and apparently I ordered a rosé. A bit reluctant at first, I considered sending it back, but quickly remembered the French customer service policy…
I should take the time here to fill you in on the astonishing practice of the French customer service. In France, as with most of Europe, tips are included because the servers and bartenders are receiving hourly wages. Without having to worry about tips you can be a bit more honest with your customers, I guess. The French take it one extra step; they are never wrong, even when they are wrong actually they are not. In the U.S. it's the customer is always right, well in France the customer is always wrong.
In my situation I was wrong, but why annoy my server because she did smile when I ordered, there must be something good here. In turn, I accepted my fault and drank the wine. There are some mistakes in life worth making. I never knew springtime could be more enjoyable until I started drinking rosés. I later learned that in Paris it's hip to drink pink. There is nothing like getting the seal of approval from your server when ordering a wine, for me at least, I'm more excited. That smile I received was her way of telling me that I would not regret my decision.
Rosés are made in every region in France, but the South is more known for their winsome, approachable wines, in particular Provence. I am drinking a 2006 La Ferme Blanche from Cassis. The color on it is an orange pink, it is young, but generally best drank that way. On the nose is a slight tangerine and apricot fruit profile. Here is a good example of a rosé; it's light, dry, not complex, well balanced and extremely enjoyable. The only way I can think to describe what I'm experiencing on my palate is lifesavers. This wine is the white lifesaver. There is flavor there, but it's not as strong as the orange, green, or red. The white lifesaver is the subtle flavor; it doesn't over power. I have had rosés with fish dishes, as well as meat dishes, though I would stay away from heavier meats.
While I write this I feel the urge to go to a restaurant by the water and order up a dozen oysters. Seeing that I'm in Paris, perhaps I'll just take the rest of this bottle down to the Seine, have a picnic, and watch the sunset. This is a perfect springtime and summer wine and a great way to Wine Your Diet.Tags: elixir, Paris, picnic, review, Rose, Wine, Wine Your Diet, Zinfandel
