From Our Readers: That Time LA Aguinaldo Went to Davao City
It model and Candy's July cover man, LA Aguinaldo went to Davao City on July 15 for the #DenimCitizens fashion show at SM Lanang.
He showed us the type of wardrobe that will always be on trend, denim. Everything looked so classy—from dress, to top, everything! But what everyone was really excited about was the fashion show, which featured the SM Youth Ambassadors. A fashion show featuring the beauty of denim in every style possible led by the SM Youth Ambassadors.
I skipped my night classes that day. Who wouldn't? I got to see Tommy Esguerra, Richard Juan, and of course, the boy wonder in one show. I also got reserved seats since no one wanted to take those spots.. And yes, during the fashion show, LA stopped in front of me. He looked at me and we made eye contact in the middle of the show. That moment felt like heaven!

Comment on Never Forget Your Dreams by India.
Wonderful writing and just at the right time for me. After a week where I awoke terrified from a dream on Monday, I was speaking to my mother about it yesterday. Following that I also told her that I had some pretty strong feelings on Midsummer Night about both past and future, hence my poem https://indiablue.co.uk/2016/06/22/a-midsummer-night/. She told me her week had also been filled with grief, mixed emotions and turmoil and that Midsummer Night, was when we lost my Grandmother, whom I was very close to. It seems, our subconscious was wreaking havoc this week. I hope you find peace following your dream. Thank you for the wonderful writing.

Mnangagwa, VPs escape death
The explosion happened close to Mnangagwa as he left the stage in the company of vice-presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi.
Mnangagwa was unscathed, but Mohadi suffered a leg injury and Chiwenga's wife Marry was also injured.
Other senior government officials that were injured in the melee were Zanu PF chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri and the party's commissar Engelbert Rugeje.
A senior government official last night said between eight and nine people were injured.
Mnangagwa, who visited the victims at the Catholic Church-run Mater Dei Hospital, condemned the blast, saying it was a "cowardly act."
"This afternoon, as we were leaving a wonderful rally in Bulawayo, there was an explosion on the stage," the president said in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
"Several people were affected by the blast, and I have already been to visit them in hospital.
"While we await further information, my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this senseless act of violence."
He said the alleged attack will not stand in the way of free and fair elections.
"The campaign so far has been conducted in a free and peaceful environment, and we will not allow this cowardly act to get in our way as we move towards elections," Mnangagwa said.
"Let us continue to be united and address our differences peacefully. "The strongest response to violence is peace. The strongest response to hate is love."
Mnangwa's spokesperson George Charamba said eight people, including the senior government officials were injured in the blast.
"Minister Muchinguri-Kashiri is still in a state of shock and she has some injuries around her chest," he told state-controlled media last night.
"National commissar General Rugeje had some shrapnel in his arm, but he has been attended to and discharged.
"Mai Chiwenga had some lacerations on her face as she tried to rescue one of her aides who had shrapnel in her stomach.
"VP Chiwenga has slight bruises on his face but he is fine. Four security personnel and some chiefs were also injured so all in we are talking of eight to nine people who have been injured."
The blast blew off the staircase soon after Mnangagwa touched the ground, and several security aides and Zanu PF officials could be seen lying down injured.
Two security aides could be seen lying on the ground motionless soon after the blast.
After the injured senior government officials arrived at Mater Dei, the private hospital was sealed off by the presidential guard.
Former War veterans minister Tshinga Dube who sat on the main stage with Mnangagwa said they were shaken by the incident.
"We just don't know what happened," he said soon after the incident.
"It all happened in a split second and all we could see was smoke, and the stampede at the high table resulting in some injuries."
Dube was left nursing an injured knee.
Meanwhile, there was pandemonium at the stadium after the blast as people scurried for cover.
Zanu PF supporters, police, journalists and other security details ran for dear life as panic set in.
Central Intelligence Organisation operatives tried to force photojournalists to delete pictures taken after the blast.
In the ensuing melee, the presidential guard — also caught unawares — moved to cordon off the area, while telling everyone to vacate the scene.
Mnangagwa had started his address at the rally by referring to an alleged plot to kill him by former president Robert Mugabe's allies at the height of the Zanu PF succession wars last year.
"Before I address you today, I want to remind you what happened on 4 November last year," he said.
"You all remember what happened. I had no hand in the booing of the former first lady (Grace Mugabe). However, I was accused of sponsoring the booing.
"After being insulted I thanked the former first lady for insulting me.
"The former president then told me that I would be fired the following day and it happened like that."
Mnangagwa said Mugabe offered him refuge at his home after he escaped to South Africa, but he told him that people around the 94-year-old wanted to kill him.
Before last year's rally at White City Stadium where the booing incident took place, Mnangagwa was allegedly poisoned during a Zanu PF rally in Gwanda.

The picture is still a little fuzzy, but it appears Savannah River Site could get about as many permanent jobs from the relocation of the Department of Energy's plutonium pit mission as it would have gotten if the mixed oxide nuclear fuel plant was built.
"The net effect could be that there'll be a few more than MOX would have done," said Will Williams, the president and CEO of the regional Economic Development Partnership. "Trouble is, we are still a long way away on pits."
Though MOX could have employed as many as 3,000 construction workers while it was being built, it would have provided about 500 to 700 permanent operations jobs. The pit mission could bring up to 800, Aiken Mayor Rick Osbon said Friday.
MOX was supposed to complete its mission of converting plutonium to fuel for nuclear power generation in 15 years, then those operational jobs would have disappeared, too, Williams noted.
"In effect, we never really got the MOX jobs, so all we're really losing right now is the construction jobs," Williams said. "MOX had a 10- to 15-year window where it would operate and then it would be done. Pits will need to be produced as long as we have nuclear weapons."
But it could be more than a decade before any are made at SRS.
"There is still much work to be done before actually calling pit production a done deal. And that work will be done at higher levels than any of us in this community," Williams said. "I would also expect some pushback from the contractor building the MOX facility as well as Governor McMaster and Attorney General Wilson. The one constant in all this is our community will continue to advocate for enduring missions at SRS."
The National Nuclear Safety Administration recommended Thursday that the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility at SRS be repurposed to produce plutonium pits, while keeping some pit production activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
Fifty pits per year would be produced at SRS and 30 per year at Los Alamos, the agency said, and "is the best way to manage the cost, schedule and risk of such a vital undertaking."
But for anything to happen, Congress has to adopt the recommendation, and it's unclear when that might happen.
"The dust is going to have to settle," Williams said.
Greg Mello, the executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, a nuclear watchdog and "disarmament group," estimates the work couldn't start before late 2019 or even 2020.
"The ramp-up will be slow. There needs to be planning and design, then the critical decision process," he said. So far, the federal government has only identified the mission need.
Even if the Energy Department makes a request to Congress to expedite the process, the earliest it could make it into the federal budget is for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2019, Mello said.
Mello, one of many who have criticized Los Alamos for safety problems executing the pit mission, questions whether there's a genuine need for more pits and calls the new plan the "Superpower Vanity Project."
"There's not a single warhead, current or planned, that needs new pits," he said. "Russia has a big pit factory and we don't. Russian pits used to have corrosion problems and didn't last very long. We don't know if they solved the problem or how much they're making now."
The Department of Defense, however, has said it needs 80 pits per year, starting in 2030.
If the mission survives, Mello thinks all the production should go to SRS.
"Los Alamos just can't do this mission," he said. "If you really want pits, you're going to have to do it at Savannah River."
The MOX project arose from an agreement between the U.S. and Russia to dispose of 68 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium — enough to create about 17,000 nuclear weapons. But the project has been beset by years of delays and cost overruns, over which the state has several times sued the federal government. There is widespread disagreement about how far along the project is and how much more it will cost to finish.
MOX initially was projected to cost $1.7 billion, which rose to $4.9 billion and was further revised to $7.7 billion in 2013. A recent study says that the projected cost is $17.2 billion, but some, in and out of government, have estimated it at $30 billion to $50 billion.

Last year, we provided a practical guide to the incorporation process in Brazil which you can find here.
For companies that want to keep a light presence, the next logical question is how much will the on-going costs be?
It is important to remember that Brazilian companies must have, from day one, a local accountant and an administrator (director) who lives in Brazil.
Foreign partners must also have a local representative in Brazil. This representative may, sometimes, be the director or a Brazilian partner. In other cases, they must be hired to perform this particular job.
Because of all this, generally, every company will face some mandatory monthly expenses. It is important to remember that these are ranges only to give you an idea of how much you should budget.
- Monthly cost for a nominee administrator is at least USD$600.00 per month. A professional administrator, hired for the job, would cost around USD$1,500.00.
- The administrator must collect social security, which is based on the value he receives. The minimum payment is about USD$90.00.
- Monthly cost for an accountancy firm starts around USD$350 per month. The average cost in São Paulo is USD$500.
- Monthly cost for a local representative for the foreign investors starts at USD$350 per month
Starting July 2017, this representative will be subject to more government scrutiny and, at the same time, will be required to have more managerial power over the investor`s assets. This will increase the representatives risk of being liable for tax fraud or labor debts.
This comes along with a rule that requires that the ultimate beneficial owners of any company investing in Brazil be revealed to the Federal Government.
The result of these rules, I think, is that the cost of keeping local representatives will increase. Instead of using young professionals or junior accountants as representatives, the investors will have to select lawyers or executives. Costs with Directors and officers' liability Insurance (D&O insurance) should also go up.
On the plus side, it looks like the new president is trying taking steps to speed up the registration of foreign investment. We sure hope so!
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

They were known as hanifs. Amr, once encountered the young Muhammad on the road to Ta'if, and was offered by him some meat which had been sacrificed to idols. ' The words sank deeply into Muhammad's mind. ' Tradition relates that the call of God came to Muhammad during solitary retreats he was in the habit of making in a cave on Mount Hira, a hill just outside Mecca. He had two dreams or visions of a mighty Being in the sky whom he first identified with God himself but later with the angel Gabriel and who commanded him to recite what all Muslims believe to be the oldest passage of the Koran, the one beginning: 23 THE PROPHET Recite, in the name of the Lord who created (Sura 96; verse 1) At first so terrified that he was driven almost to suicide, he became convinced, perhaps by the assurance and encouragement of his wife, that the experience was a genuine message from heaven, and the visions were followed by a series of auditory 'revelations' which continued at intervals until the end of his life.

His lot was cast in a period most fortunate for the realization of his hopes, and his success was assured by the social unrest of Mecca, the civil strife of Medina, the ruin of the Himyar kingdom of the south, the defeat of Abraha and the decay of the military strength of Axum, the familiarity of his countrymen with the idea of one God, the prostration of the Sassanid monarchy and the exhaustion of the Roman Empire, whose power was sapped by religious discord, the withdrawal of the Syrians and Egyptians from active loyalty to the imperial government, and the strains and losses of the Persian wars.

Orange is seen to be bright and blooming this fashion season. We can't help but love it. Although the daunting fear of wearing it seems to be dominant in some people. Perhaps, it's because the color can be overpowering when nothing being worn the right way. But hey, bet you didn't know that it takes just a little to make this color pop in the right way.
Handy tips
Pair your look with neutrals such as black or nudes. This helps in creating that' toned-down' refined classy look.
Contrasting colors? Just balance it out with a neutral shade.
Opting for prints? Try out bolder prints.

As this holiday season ramps up, we are reminded of diversity and the gift such differences offer us in the tale of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
How sad that Rudolph's difference was scorned:
"All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games."
No one even was even curious about the delight of that shiny nose and what potential it had to bring happiness and light to others. In fact, in the famous cartoon version of the story, this theme is expanded. We see Rudolph's parents' original joy with their son jeopardized when they acknowledge his obvious difference from the other reindeer. And rather than recognizing this difference as a special talent, the parents tri...

krasi, what do you make of this bearish stick sandwich? a reversal or a continued grind higher based on the indicators your follow?ReplyDeleteReplies
I went trough the indicators and the market breadth indicators and they all have lower highs or higher lows(the inverse one).Delete
Under the surface this move does not look so bullish - 1h candlestick up and then whole day nothing.... and then DJ for example closed bellow the minor low for the day. That is not how bullish move looks like. DAX clearly corrective move up and there will be more on the downside.
I am not convinced from the bulls but the plan from the weekend higher high but short living is on the table again.

do you still think tza can reach $14 in a few weeks time? rut still looks strong with stoch over the 80 line.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes I still think that we should see at least 38,2% correction. For TZA gap at ~13,5 to 14 the 38,2% Fibo retracement.Delete

thanks for your thoughts krasi. it seems this whole year has very little dips and pullbacks that even 38.2% seems a bit much. the buy the dips crowd is still very strong and every subtle dip is being bought back up as is the case today for example.Delete
Its frustrating... but this is a trade against the trend. So it is always difficult.Delete
The signal was good enough, if I do not trade such signals I should not trade at all:)
The previous swings were the same story. It could take several weeks longer but eventually the move will play out.

1961 BSA Gold Star Scrambler
Reading time: about 2 minutes.
This is an almost mint condition 1961 BSA 499cc Gold Star Scrambler, it's exactly the sort of motorcycle that many of us (myself included) would consider a perfect weekend bike. The bike started life on the 17th February 1961 and was sold new by BSA works rider Fred Rist through his shop in Neath, Glamorgan. Fred was one of the most well-known riders of the mid-part of the 20th century, he was racing on the BSA-works team against the Germans in 1939 and managed to get out of Germany just before the war broke out (which would likely have left him in an internment camp).
By the time Fred sold this bike in 1961 he had long since retired, the story of the life and times of the bike is lost to the unrecorded annals of history but it was bought and restored in 2006, leaving it today as one of the finest BSA Gold Star Scramblers you'll find anywhere in the world. It was UK registered in 2008 but hasn't been ridden apart from some basic on-road rundown testing, this means the buyer will need to be patient enough to take the time to properly run the engine in.
The restoration process included rebuilds of the engine and original scrambler gearbox, blast-cleaning and powder-coating the frame and cycle parts and reconditioning the competition magneto. The fuel tank, mudguards, seat, oil tank, oil filter/housing, fork stanchions, wheel rims and many more minor components are new. A Newby belt primary drive and clutch is fitted in place of the original parts, while since completion the Amal GP carburettor has been replaced with a correct Monobloc.
If you're in the market for a delightful old scrambler you might want to make your way to the Staffordshire County Showground on the 28th of April 2013 for the Bonhams auction that'll be featuring this bike.

India now has an intelligence satellite in space that will watch 'enemy radars'
- India's Space Research Organisation successfully launched Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket on Monday.
- India is planning to build nearly seven more satellites along with the launch of two more defence satellites carried by its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) rocket.
- So far, India used airplanes to track down enemy sites. However, the defense satellite will ease the process of locating enemy radar sites.
🇮🇳 #ISROMissions 🇮🇳#PSLVC45 successfully injects #EMISAT into sun-synchronous polar orbit.— ISRO (@isro) April 1, 2019
Now, 28 customer satellites to be placed into their designated orbit.
Our updates will continue.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched a 436 kg rocket into the low-earth orbit that will collect data and relay them to the ground station for the next six months.Until now, India used airplanes for such warnings.
The electronic intelligence satellite, EMISAT, and 28 nano satellites, lifted off from second launchpad of Sriharikota at 9:27 am, according to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
About 47 seconds after the launch, the EMISAT was ejected at an altitude of nearly 753 km. After nearly one and a half hour of rocket blast, the 28 foreign satellites will be ejected.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) launched today is a four-stage engine expendable rocket with alternating solid and liquid fuel.
For the first time, ISRO allowed common people to witness the launch. "It is a special mission for us. We will be using a PSLV rocket with four strap-on motors. Further, for the first time we will be trying to orbit the rocket at three different altitudes," ISRO Chairman K. Sivan had earlier told IANS.
India is planning to build nearly seven more satellite along with the launch of two more defence satellites around the month of July, August carried by its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) rocket.

This recipe originally appeared on the Rachael Ray Show [1]. For more recipes and videos from the show visit RachaelRayShow.com.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 slices meaty bacon, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large jalapeño chile, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (I like Gebhardt), about a palmful
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander, about ½ palmful
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin, about ½ palmful
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican), about ⅓ palmful
- 1 ½ cups grated pepper Jack
- 1 ½ cups grated yellow cheddar
- 1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 4 large tortillas (11 to 12 inches) or 6 medium flour tortillas (8 to 10 inches)
- Cooking spray
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 large heirloom tomato or beefsteak tomato, seeded and chopped
- Pickled jalapeño slices, for serving
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
- Lime wedges, for serving
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil, one turn of the pan [2], over medium-high. Add the bacon. Cook, stirring often, until the fat begins to render, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, chile, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the turkey is browned, about 5 minutes. Season with the chili powder, coriander, cumin, and dried oregano. Add ½ cup water. Cook, stirring often, until the water is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
In medium bowl [3], mix both cheeses with the crema.
Heat a large nonstick skillet [2] or griddle over medium to medium-high. Spray 1 tortilla lightly with cooking spray and add to the skillet. Cook the tortilla until blistered in spots, about 1 minute. Flip the tortilla over. Top half of the tortilla with a quarter of the turkey filling, a few slices of avocado, some chopped tomato, and a quarter of the cheeses. Fold the tortilla over the fillings and cook, turning a few times, until the cheeses melt, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Cut the quesadillas into the wedges. Top with pickled jalapeno slices and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

|Station 1
|220 S. Dawson Street
Opened October 5, 1953
|Faces east
View plaque
11,200 square feet, two stories

Circa 1957 / News & Observer photos
|History: Station 1 opened on December 23,
1912 at 112 W. Morgan
Street. It was the first of three fire stations for the newly reorganized Raleigh Fire Department. Hose Company 1,
the first of three fully-paid fire companies, was placed in service with
a horse-drawn hose wagon. Hose 1 was motorized in February of the following year with a 1913 American LaFrance combination hose wagon.
Truck Company 1 was placed in service three years later with a 1916 American LaFrance tractor-drawn aerial ladder.
The truck company also staffed a service ladder truck delivered in 1922. Station 1 also housed
the equipment of the electric-telegraph fire alarm system until a separate
fire alarm building was constructed in 1926.
In 1939, the Morgan Street station was condemned by the city building inspector and planning started for a replacement fire station. On June 27, 1941, the property was sold to the state for $35,000, for a planned addition to the adjacent Revenue Building. On the same day, a $15,000 lot was purchased on South Dawson Street for a new fire station.
1 relocated to old Station 2 at
412 S. Salisbury Street on August 12,
1941. The Salisbury Street station was considerably smaller and only housed
Engine 1, the Fire Chief, and the switchboard. The aerial ladder and service
ladder truck were relocated to Station 2, and
Engine 2 joined Engine 1 at Station 1.
The $142,106
station was dedicated on the same day. The City Manager presided over the
ceremonies which included short speeches from the Mayor, City Council
members, and the Fire Chief. Immediately after the ceremonies, members of
the fire department's Ladies Auxiliary held an open house and conducted
tours until 9:00 p.m.
Station 1 housed a rescue company from 1953 to 1976, and
later a Battalion Chief from 1971 to 2004, and a Division Chief from 1992 to
2001. Special units at the Dawson Street station have included a squad
truck, a foam unit, a light unit, a fire investigation unit, an air
unit, and a field communications unit.

Kathy Hepinstall is an author, I will keep an eye on. In "Blue Asylum" she has written an original story, but it is her language and narrative style that raises her above so many other talented authors. Hepinstall masters the fine art of writing by omission. She leaves the readers hooked by not confiding all the characters' secrets, but carefully hints at them, making them snippets of truth for the reader to play with in their mind. Furthermore, she relishes the moments building up to a pivotal moment and than omits the scenes, we as readers have read thousands of times before. The result is a masterpiece about shattered minds and shattering beliefs in a time shattered by a grusome war.
The plantation wife Iris Dunleavy is placed at the Sanibel Asylum after being judged mad by a court of law. She arrives at the backwards paradisiacal island outside the reach of the raging Civil War to be treated by Dr. Cowell. Other prominent characters are Ambrose Weller, a soldier broken by his actions in the war, and Dr. Cowell's son, Wendell, who grows up amidst lunatics and the fierce natural surroundings. All four, and the rest of the motley of characters, have their conflicts with insanity versus sanity, secrets, truth, and freedom. These themes transcend the novel's front and back covers into the lives of the readers. The questions, the characters ask of themselves are as relevant today as during the Civil War.
In fine, I have to say, I adore the ending of the "Blue Asylum". There are no playing violins here nor glorious riding into the sunset, but a retreat to a place of sanctuary in order to let the experiences of "Blue Asylum" crystalize and become a new strength. I recommend "Blue Asylum" to readers of historical fiction and to those who enjoy the rare literary gems, whose brilliance surpasses all the shiny and pretty stones on a beach.

The challenge
NHS Leadership Academy recently launched the Director Programme, a year-long training programme targeted at senior level executive leaders looking to develop their leadership skills. Our social and b2b research team conducted a robust research evaluation in order to establish the success of the programme, particularly in terms of its long-running impact, and explore possible areas of improvement.
The Breaking Blue solution
Participants on the Director Programme undertake a range of activities over the course of a year. Our research team therefore employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods across the lifecycle of the programme to capture feedback at key stages. Those who took part in residential activities were sent a follow-up online survey to explore their experience of this aspect of the programme. In addition, more in-depth qualitative interviews were undertaken with participants once they had completed the programme, focussing on the key elements in detail and to explore its wider impact.
Our social and b2b research team provided an in-depth analysis of the programme's strengths, weaknesses and areas of focus. In particular, Breaking Blue's recommendations related to refining specific learning activities and improving ongoing engagement with programme participants once the programme has been completed. NHS Leadership Academy is using the research to inform the development of the Director Programme going forward.

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014)
From Batman to Birdman. It seems apt that in Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) Michael Keaton plays a washed up actor best known for his earlier success as the star of a superhero franchise, who now just wants to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, – and this is my only criticism of the whole film – despite Birdman's voice sounding extremely similar to Batman's, Keaton never does utter the words "I'm Birdman". This is a massive missed opportunity, but I'm holding out hope that he'll say it in his Oscar speech, should he win.
Keaton plays Riggan Thompson, an actor who has invested everything into what is probably the best possible thing in the world: BROADWAY. Adapting Raymond Carver's short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love for the stage he wears the impressive – but potentially over-ambitious – triple hat of director, writer, and actor. On the day of the first preview one of the actors is unable to go on, prompting actress Lesley (Naomi Watts) to recommend her boyfriend Mike (Edward Norton) for the part. Riggan simultaneously attempts to manage Mike's diva antics, a romantic relationship with another actress (Andrea Riseborough), a complicated history with his ex-wife Sylvia (Amy Ryan), his recovering drug addict daughter Sam (Emma Stone), his neurotic lawyer Jake (Zach Galifianakis), and a reviewer (Lindsay Duncan) who is out for blood. All the while he is plagued by the voice of his alter ego, Birdman.
Birdman is best described as a kooky but brilliant dramedy – it is strangely optimistic, while being rather dark. It's also hilarious in parts, and the idiots online asking for viewers to explain what exactly is funny about it, must have been watching another film. It produces frequent laughs from the audience, despite an ominous undertone and a few heart-racing moments. Those who only wish to see films with one straight genre should avoid this one and go see something rubbish instead. I hear Taken 3 is out.
This will win the Oscar for best original screenplay (whether it will beat out Boyhood for best picture is yet to be seen), with an emphasis on the word original. There have been films about the behind the scenes happenings of Broadway plays before, but not quite like this. The dialogue is tremendous, the story slightly off-kilter in the best possible way, and is so different to what we're used to seeing that you may even leave feeling a little bit confused as to what you've just experienced. Was it all a dream? Probably not but the way the film plays with Riggan's mental state means that the film takes on an almost magical quality. Plus, it's always fun to poke fun at stupid superhero movies. Iñárritu's direction is sublime – Birdman is staged very much like a play and his use of one long seemingly continuous shot that follows one character and then the next is pure magic. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezski (Oscar winner for Gravity) has nailed it yet again. The percussion score by Antonio Sanchez is extremely effective, adding a sense of claustrophobia and confusion that is almost annoying except that it's brilliant.
No surprises that the cast are all total dynamite as well. Michael Keaton gives the performance of his career and is currently hot favourite to bring home Oscar gold next month. Edward Norton is an absolute cracker in his role as a complete dick, and I'd be rooting for him in the best supporting actor category if I wasn't already firmly on the J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) bandwagon. Emma Stone is probably at her best as the fragile Sam, and her eyes have never looked bigger. (Maybe that's because she's a drug addict, but I think it's just her face.) I feel like I haven't seen Naomi Watts play an American character in yonks and she reminded me just how good she is. Meanwhile Zach Galifianakis is more than just the hilarious idiot in The Hangover films – he's a damn fine actor.
Movie buffs will have this as a high priority on their must-see lists, but if you're one of those people who only gets out to see a movie once in a blue moon, and you're looking for that one film this month: Birdman is your best bet. It's way more interesting than a pompous take on British history (The Imitation Game), certainly more left-field than a predictable comedy (St Vincent), infinitely better than Russell Crowe's attempt in the director's seat (The Water Diviner) and while I personally think Into the Woods is pretty brilliant too, I understand not everyone appreciates the musical genre. (I haven't seen Taken 3 but if you choose that as your one movie, you're a disgrace to society.) If you dislike originality, stick with one of the above, but if you enjoy quality cinema there is no competition.

Living after divorce
1 comment:
I know you are having a rough time. Divorce always is. It is really hard on the children. This is what you seem to have lost focus of. The fact is that your generation is always finding things to distract them from real life. Like video games and legos. Not that those things are bad. Just remember that kids take up a lot of time. I myself can't find time in the day to do sewing projects I want to do. But I remember that kids grow up and move out. Before they do we are to fill those years in. What will we leave them with? Seems like your looking for help and time for you. In the wonderful world of being a parent, their is not time for those thoughts. Yes, it is fun family time if you all go to a lego event. But if you get busy building when the kids are napping, then they wake up, you can't get upset with them when you have to put your project on hold for a bit. Or better yet just include them! I just see amiss here. Think about it.ReplyDelete

Republicans in Congress may be sticking with Donald Trump as the Ukraine scandal buries the White House, but the American people are not.
According to a slew of new polling data, a wave of pro-impeachment support has swept the country, with strong majorities now supporting the Democrats' inquiry.
As MSNBC's Steve Kornacki pointed out on Tuesday, Democrats "have to like what they're seeing in terms of the public opinion polling."
Steve Kornacki shows impeachment data that should have Republicans running scared. #ctl #p2 pic.twitter.com/CC2WhdTwZO
— PoliticusUSA (@politicususa) October 9, 2019
Kornacki said:
Three new polls that came out today show just how much the ground has shifted when it comes to impeachment. Let me show you what I mean. First of all, remember two different questions that are being asked in these polls. The first question is not full-fledged impeachment. … The first question is just the impeachment inquiry. Democrats said Congress is now, the House is now launching an impeachment inquiry. Committees going to investigate him, all of these sorts of things. … The three new polls today, look at this. 53 in Quinnipiac, 55 in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll and 58 – the highest number we've seen yet – in the Washington Post poll supporting the impeachment inquiry. Low 40s, high 30s in terms of opposition. This is pretty solid support for the impeachment inquiry. Put this in bigger context, over the last two weeks here's all the polls that have come out about an impeachment inquiry. … Count them up, one, two, three, four, five, six of those eight have outright majority support for the impeachment inquiry, over 50%, and the other two still plurality support, 49-43, 49-46. So eight polls have come out on the inquiry and in all eight polls there's more support than opposition for the inquiry and in 6 of the 8 there's outright majority support. So Democrats, in terms of taking that step, they have to like what they're seeing in term of the public opinion polling.
Republicans could be making a severe miscalculation
In the months before Democrats finally decided to pull the trigger on impeachment, there was constant debate over whether launching such an inquiry would backfire on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her party.
Now it appears the opposite is true. Not only do the American people support the move by the Democrats, but they increasingly believe Trump's behavior warrants his removal from office.
By sticking with Donald Trump when the majority of the country is quickly fleeing him, Republicans could be making a severe miscalculation. Not only will history judge them harshly for their cowardice, but voters likely will in 2020.

According to Law 60/2007 on the implementation framework of the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol in Hungary, a climate change related policy document must be elaborated and regularly updated at the national level. The first National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS-1) was adopted in 2008. International processes and national efforts made the revision and update of the document necessary. After a 4-year long process on 30 October 2018, the Hungarian Parliament accepted the revised and updated 2nd National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS-2). Implementation of the strategy will be based on 4 three-year-long Climate Change Action Plans.
Adaptation Strategies
NCCS-2 comprises 3 sub-documents (sub-strategies) in line with the 3 pillars of climate policy: the National Decarbonization Roadmap for mitigation, the National Adaptation Strategy for adaptation, and the Climate Change Awareness Raising Action Plan for awareness raising. Based on these, the structure the 1st Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) also follows a 3-pillar approach. The 3 subprograms will be the Decarbonization Programme, the National Adaptation Programme, and the Awareness Raising Programme. They will be completed with an implementation chapter focusing especially on the recommended frameworks for monitoring and evaluation activities.
The implementation of the NCCS-2 will be based on 4 consecutive action plans (3-year-long ones), of which the first is being planned for 2018-2020. The planning process of the CCAP document and its adoption depend on the entry into force of the NCCS-2. The NCCS-2 was adopted by the Parliament via a Parliamentary Decree. The Decree points out that 6 months after the adoption of the NCCS-2 the first CCAP draft should be elaborated. Consequently, in November 2018, preparation for the planning process started and the actual planning work began in December. The CCAP draft version will contain the detailed description of different measures (based on the short-term sectoral action lines of the NCCS-2), their content, and the related responsibilities and financial background.
There are no special sectoral or specific territorial adaptation strategies in Hungary. Nevertheless, beyond the national level, the territorial and local (NUTS 3 and LAU 2) levels are also undertaking a comprehensive planning process for climate change. County level climate change strategies were elaborated in Hungary for all NUTS3 units and the capital in 2017. These documents have been adopted by the county assemblies. 2019 will see the planning process arrive at the municipal level: approximately one third of the Hungarian settlements (among others, all districts in Budapest and the majority of towns) will prepare their own strategies. Both county and municipal level strategies are to be based on a single and comprehensive methodology elaborated by the Hungarian Mining and Geological Survey in cooperation with the Association of Climate Friendly Municipalities of Hungary and the Ministry responsible for climate issues.
Implementation means
The main pillars of implementation for NCCS-2 and CCAP to carry out their activities and achieve their goals are the financial resources and the organizational framework. Hungarian climate protection developments in the NCCS-2 and CCAPs have, and will continue to have, primarily two sources. On the one hand, incomes from international quota sales ensure that household energy efficiency and building energy investments are encouraged. The Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change introduced international quota trading, and Hungary has a significant surplus of such quotas; it was among the first in the world to sell them in 2008. Based on the Climate Change Act and Government Decree No 323/2007 and the quota agreements, the revenues from the sales of the Kyoto emission units shall be used, in the frame of the Green Investment Scheme (GIS), for climate protection activities. In order to utilise revenues from selling quotas in the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS), the Green Funding System (GFS) was set up in 2013. 2014 saw organisational changes in climate policy and quota revenues were divided as a result. Pursuant to Section 10(4) of the 60/2007 Act, the minister responsible for public finances shall arrange for the utilisation of the 50 percent of the revenues generated from the transfer of Kyoto units within the Economic Greening System (EGS) after 1 January 2015, while the remaining units will be utilised within the framework of the Green Investment Scheme.
On the other hand, the Hungarian Operational Programmes 2014-2020 ensure that funds from the EU budget are used to support public (state, municipal, church and civil) and private energy efficiency, renewable energy production and consumption and adaptation developments. Climate change has received special attention during the programming period between 2014 and 2020, as at least 20 percent of assistance from the ESB funds are to be used to this end, according to the rules. Support for mitigation, aimed at the use of renewable energy sources, and support for adaptation are available beyond the Environmental and Energy Efficiency Operational Programme (EEEOP), in the Territorial and Settlement Development Operational Programme (TSDOP), the Economic Development and Innovation Operational Programme (EDIOP), the Competitive Central Hungary Operational Programme (CCHOP), the Integrated Transport Development Operational Programme (ITDOP) and the Rural Development Operational Programme (RDOP). It is expected that EU support for these topics will also be available in the 2021-2027 period.
The responsible organization for both documents (NCCS-2 and CCAP) is the Ministry for Innovation and Technology, as it is the part of the administration responsible for climate and energy policy. The Hungarian Mining and Geological Survey, as a supporting institution of the Ministry, plays an important intermediary part in the planning and implementation of the mentioned documents.
Monitoring, reporting and evaluation
A comprehensive climate policy related monitoring and evaluation system is currently lacking in Hungary to analyze the results of mitigation, adaptation and awareness-raising and the related impacts to support development activities and to examine their contributions to the international climate objectives. There is a definite need for a well-planned and managed evaluation system that is able to handle mitigation and adaptation aspects in every sector policy, to be connected to other systems, and to monitor the objectives of climate policy.
Positive prequels to a comprehensive climate policy related monitoring and evaluation system include the Green Monitoring Programme and the present planning steps for national climate policy. The former was an EEOP-financed project in 2015, providing a recommendation for a monitoring and evaluation system in Hungary; but after the elaboration of the project no implementation phase followed. The second point refers to the current activities of Hungarian climate policy. During the revision and update of the National Climate Change Strategy and the planning of the 1st Climate Change Action Plan, planners calculate the development of a comprehensive climate-related monitoring and evaluation system in Hungary. The NCCS-2 in its implementation chapter declared the need for a two-level approach in Hungarian climate change related monitoring and evaluation. Firstly, it briefly enumerates the specific monitoring and assessment activities related to the NCCS-2
Schedule and planned review/revision
Regarding the NCCS-2 (and within it the NAS), the first revision is expected after five years of its adoption (as was the case with NCCS-1). The CCAPs are consecutive 3-year long action plans, where a series of action plans follow each other in a row, covering the whole implementation period of the NCCS-2, so there is no need for regular revision of each one.
Hungary is expected to be affected by a wide range of climate effects, so the number of priority sectors is also expanding. The climate perspective is increasingly included in the affected sectors, particularly in the fields of water management, agriculture, rural development, forestry and critical infrastructures. Fortunately the development goals of these sectors and the aims of climate protection are frequently interconnected. For instance, forest health protection and the natural ways to replenish soil nutrients - which are sectoral goals - also contribute to achieving adaptation goals.
Sectors addressed in NAS/NAP
The National Adaptation Strategy (part of the NCCS-2) defines the Hungarian framework and opportunities for adapting to climate change. The defined adaptation instruments are based on a detailed situation analysis that describes the expected effects of climate change on Hungarian natural resources (waters, soil, biodiversity and forests) and the expected human and socioeconomic consequences of climate change in priority fields.
The priority fields are the following:
- human health;
- agriculture;
- disaster management and security policy;
- built environment, regional and urban development, regional and urban planning, and municipal infrastructure;
- transport;
- waste management;
- energy management; and
- tourism.
Additionally, the document identifies the short- (2018-2020), mid- (2021-2030) and long-term (2031-2050) priority sectoral action lines and tasks in the priority fields.
The priority sectors are the following:
- human health;
- water management;
- disaster management and security policy;
- agriculture, rural development;
- nature protection;
- forestry;
- built environment, regional and urban development, regional and urban planning, and municipal infrastructure;
- energy management; and
- tourism.
Mainstreaming of adaptation
Mainstreaming of adaptation has two main ways in Hungary. On the one hand the perspective of climate change is usually taken into consideration in sectoral strategies and action plans (horizontal mainstreaming). Aligning the goals of sectoral strategies is also an important action line of the NCCS-2. Additionally during the elaboration process of the 1st CCAP there is a comprehensive consultation process with the governmental institutions that are responsible for sector development. On the other hand adaptation mainstreaming has a regional aspect in Hungary (vertical mainstreaming). It means that beside the NCCS-2 all the counties have their own climate change strategies, and in a short time also the local municipalities will have the opportunity to get financial resources from the Environmental and Energy Efficiency Operational Programme for elaborating climate change strategies for the local level.
The Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSz) is responsible for collecting, processing and providing meteorological data and information. The idea to initiate climate dynamics research in the institute (besides the traditional statistical climatology) had arisen in 2003, as modelling provides the only tool to explore the potential response of the climate system to a possible anthropogenic forcing. The work started with the adaptation of several regional climate models (RCMs) in 2004.
Observations and projections
Two RCMs are applied at the OMSZ in order to examine the potential future climate change in Hungary and the Carpathian Basin. The use of two models provides basic possibility to quantify the projection uncertainties. ALADIN-Climate was developed at Meteo France within an international cooperation. It is a combination of the ARPEGE-Climat general circulation model and the ALADIN weather prediction model. In 2015, model version 4.5 was updated to 5.2 at OMSZ. REMO was developed at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg. It is a combination of the ECHAM4 general circulation model and the earlier weather prediction model (Europa Model) of the German Weather Service. Version 5.0 is currently in use at OMSZ. Future projections are evaluated mainly for two periods: 2021-2050, as support for planning for the next few decades, and 2071-2100, which is used for long-term adaptation strategies. In the REMO 5.0 and ALADIN-Climate 4.5 experiments the medium SRES A1B was used, while for the ALADIN-Climate 5.2 simulation the high-emission RCP 8.5 scenarios was used.
The National Adaptation Geo-information System (NAGiS) was established between 2013 and 2016 in the Geological and Geophysical Institute of Hungary. It provides a harmonized basis for the adaptation studies using the RCM results of OMSZ as inputs for the quantitative climate impact assessments. In the framework of NAGiS, sectoral impact assessment studies are coordinated to support the adaptation to climate change impacts and related decision making in Hungary. These impact assessments are based on the future climate projections given by the simulation results of ALADIN-Climate and RegCM RCMs. The NAGiS is currently under development in which new simulations from the CORDEX database, combinations of the RCA4 regional model and two global climate models (EC-EARTH,CNRM-CM5), and new scenarios (RCP 4.5, RCP 8.5) are applied. The system is available for the public, but some of the services are accessible only for registered members. In the RCMGiS project entitled "New climate scenarios based on the change in radiative forcing over the Carpathian Basin," the improvement of the available climate projections were carried out jointly with the Eötvös Lorand University, Department of Meteorology between 2014 and 2016, applying the most recent model versions, larger integration domains, new lateral boundary conditions and the RCP anthropogenic scenario family. The climate information available in NAGiS was utilized in a vulnerability assessment on tourism and critical infrastructures in the KRIGiS project (2015). In the KlimAdat project entitled "Assessment of climate change impacts in Hungary with regional climate model simulations and development of a representative climate database," a gradual extension of the NAGiS projection basis is being achieved from 2016 to 2020: new climate model simulations are ongoing with the ALADIN-Climate and REMO models, and the urban impacts of climate change are being investigated with the SURFEX/TEB surface model.
Impact and Vulnerability Assessment
Regarding IVAs, in Hungary the National Adaptation Geo-information System (NAGiS) is the main and systemized tool for such activities. The overall objective of the NAGiS is to develop a multipurpose geo-information system that can facilitate policy-making, strategy-building and decision-making processes related to the impact and vulnerability assessment of climate change through which it can support the necessary adaptation measures in Hungary.
Urban, economic, rural, development and other planning activities of municipalities, regions and counties must include adaptation issues and measures. Quantitative vulnerability data form an inevitable basis for impact assessments and decision-support analyses on which spatial, regional and sectoral policy planning can be based. In order to successfully integrate climate change issues into policies, it is necessary to define the areas of intervention that influence the adaptation of regions or sectors the most. Climate safe planning is of crucial importance in the fields of water safety, food security, human health security, safety of infrastructure, energy security, and the natural environment. Therefore, a specific evaluation method and model is needed which can handle the processes in their complexity, taking also into account the whole chain of climatic impacts, including their social consequences as well.
In connection with the assessment of the impacts of climate change, the aim of the Climate Impact and Vulnerability Assessment Scheme (CIVAS) model is to provide a standardized methodological background to quantitative climate impact assessments. In accordance with the theoretical structure, the first step in applying the CIVAS model is to define impact, sensitivity, exposure and adaptation indicators, and impact and vulnerability calculation procedures. In the second phase, vulnerability is calculated and then, based on the results, the regional vulnerability is evaluated.
The NAGiS is of special importance in Hungary for monitoring of climate change impacts in several sub-topics as well as for providing a basis for mitigation and adaptation solutions. The System's development helps to outline a comprehensive view of Hungary regarding the above described issues, creating a basis for future monitoring activities at the same time.
National Adaptation Geo-information System (NAGiS)
NAGiS creates derived indicators, analyses and impact assessments from various sources of basic data to provide reliable and objective information to all on the climatic conditions of Hungary, the effects of climate change and other strategic risks related to the long term management of natural resources and the opportunities concerning and affecting adaptation. The system supports flexible climate policy decision-making and planning, legislation regarding the effects of climate change, and strategy-building and implementation of specific measures, as indicated in the National Adaptation Strategy.
Municipalities as integrators and coordinators in adaptation to climate change (LIFE-MICACC)
Implementation of this project began in September 2017 under the leadership of the Ministry of Interior. The main objective of the project is to raise the awareness and increase the knowledge of decision makers, experts and other fellow employees of the local governments about the impacts of climate change and the ecosystem-based Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM). Therefore, in the first phase of the project, the project partners intend to increase the water retaining abilities of the five partner municipalities exposed to the negative effects of climate change. With the contribution of the nine cooperating partners they can implement a "good practice," which can serve as a sample for other municipalities struggling with the same climatic problems.
Disaster Risk Assessment System
The project is supported by the EEEOP under the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior's National Directorate General for Disaster Management (NDGDM). The main objective of the Disaster Risk Assessment System is to develop and operate a unified GIS-based disaster risk assessment system that covers the whole country and can identify potential sources of danger and their potential impacts for the settlements. Based on this, it is then possible to determine what risks can be expected in certain settlements. Besides analyzing and evaluating disaster risks, the system also makes preparations for natural disasters caused by climate change more effective.
Monitoring progress
A complex adaptation and mitigation related monitoring and evaluation system is being elaborated currently within the framework of the 1st CCAP. According to the plans, the system will monitor both the achievement of strategic and programme level objectives of the climate policy as well as the effectiveness of the implementation.
Recently the governance structure regarding climate protection has been strengthened in Hungary. In 2019 the Deputy Secretariat of State for Climate Policy was established under the Ministry for Innovation and Technology. The Climate Policy Department (under the Deputy Secretariat of State for Climate Policy) is responsible for the elaboration and implementation of NCCS-2. Additionally in 2013 the National Adaptation Center (as a department of the Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary) was established. The main tasks of the National Adaptation Center (NAC) is to support strategic planning in the fields of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (climate change mitigation through the National Decarbonisation Roadmap) and adaptation to the expected impacts of climate change (through the National Adaptation Geo-information System and the National Adaptation Strategy). The Climate Policy Department is also responsible for the coordination mechanism and for stakeholder involvement in national adaptation policy. One of it important objectives for the year 2019 is the elaboration of the 1st CCAP, during which a process of wide horizontal participation takes place.
In the last few years several projects have also supported vertical mainstreaming and participation. All counties have made their own climate change strategies, and in connection with these planning activities, the so called "county climate platforms" have been set up. These platforms have a broad membership (from the administration, through civil society, and NGOs to business organizations, etc.) and their main aim is to facilitate the implementation of local climate actions. The climate change awareness at the subnational level is also increasing. A Hungarian organization called the Alliance of Climate-Friendly Municipalities now has 47 members. Besides that, through the Territorial and Settlement Development Operational Programme, many municipalities have had the opportunity to elaborate their own SECAPs, and as part of the process become members of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.
Within the Ministry for Innovation and Technology, the Climate Policy Department has a website and also a social network site devoted to climate issues. The Alliance of Climate-Friendly Municipalities also has a website for knowledge transfer, including methodological support and also case studies. As part of the website all counties have a profile page, with the most important information about the county's climate strategies and programmes. The counties also have the county climate platforms (see above) and they send regular climate newsletter to the subscribers. Furthermore, the local climate change strategies project - expected to start this year, financed by EEOP - will include wide-ranging awareness-raising activities. Under the direction of the Alliance of Climate-Friendly Municipalities, guidelines were elaborated for villages, cities, the capital city, and counties to support the implementation of local climate change strategies. NAGiS also has a huge importance in knowledge transfer. There are two more applications that aim at supporting adaptation. The Hungarian Meteorological Service has a new application, called METEORA, which provides constantly updated weather information and alarms. The application "VESZ," elaborated by the National Directorate General for Disaster Management, provides a real time emergency alert service, thereby supporting adaptation.
International dimensions
Hungary is not only committed to adaptation reporting and measures on the national level, but also on the international level. The National Adaptation Strategy of Hungary, which was adopted as part of the NCCS-2 on 30 October 2018 by Hungarian Parliament, takes into account the EU Adaptation Strategy as well as the Paris Agreement. The last National Communication to the UNFCCC, which was submitted on the 10 January 2018, also puts a great emphasis on reporting adaptation measures. At COP21 Hungary pledged HUF 1 billion for the Green Climate Fund and allocated another HUF 1 billion for bilateral cooperation with developing countries. The majority of the latter is focused on adaptation related projects. On-going projects in Africa are in the areas of sustainable forestation, adaptive water management, and sustainable irrigation, and also include a project for climate smart agriculture with zero carbon energy. Another currently running programme in Southeast Asia aims to use sewage for heating and cooling buildings. One further project in Southern Europe is dedicated to climate change (mitigation and adaptation) strategy development with supporting analytical tools and data systems. In March 2019 the Ministry of Innovation and Technology made a decision on financing additional projects related to enhancing adaptive capacity and strengthening resilience in the Western Balkan countries, Asia and Africa.
