Title: Chanote
Size: 10 Rai – 0 Ngan – 19 Square Wah; 16,064 Square meters
Location: West coast
Lipa Noi, Koh Samui
Though conveniently located a mere 400 meters from the main road and a few minutes inland from the bustling town of Nathorn, this singular 10-rai piece of land feels extremely isolated and peaceful. The sea forms a backdrop to every vista, even, surprisingly, at the property line which seems to start at sea level, but is actually is at least 20 meters higher. An added bonus is the spectacle of a molten gold sea at the end of the day as the sun sinks into the horizon amidst the islands. Of course the views get even better as you follow the moderately sloped land upward through coconut palms and mature mango trees until it ends at the top of a smooth granite hillock.
The property is less than 10 minutes away from Nikki Beach Club on Lipa Noi beach with access to the beach and F&B and spa outlets.
The views enjoy a stunning panorama that embraces wide swathes of unencumbered nature. To the northwest, the verdant rice fields of Lipa Noi and shimmering in the sea in the west, the islands of Koh Pahruay, the Angthong Marine Park islands and the headland of Laem Chonkram stretching toward the sea. The southward view takes in the Nakorn Sri Thamarat coastline including the beautiful Five Islands.
Located about a hundred meters from the government concrete road, 3-phase electricity and government water supply, this property is located in the yellow zone where condominiums are allowed to be built. A hydrological survey for underground water has already been conducted as well as an initial topographical survey. The property has already been sub-divided into five plots plus common road but can be easily combined and re-divided for easier development and sale.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Constance Favorite offers a half-serious suggestion for how to accommodate the 250 people who want to watch Timothy McVeigh's execution: Hold it in the middle of an Oklahoma field.
Favorite says she wouldn't look, but she would be there for the sake of her daughter Lakesha Levy, a 21-year-old Air Force airman who was among the 168 people killed in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
"To see it happen is not the important thing to me," Favorite says. "It's not anything that I need for myself. Let the people see if that's what they need to heal."
The New Orleans woman is among the hundreds of victims and family members who have notified the government they want to watch the Oklahoma City bomber die on May 16 — so many people, in fact, that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons is considering showing the execution on closed-circuit television.
The execution chamber at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where McVeigh will receive a lethal injection has room for only eight witnesses representing the victims.
Some feel a strong need to see McVeigh take his last breath.
"I'd like to go to Indiana" and witness the execution in person, says Kathleen Treanor, whose 4-year-old daughter and in-laws died in the bombing. "But what are my chances? I'm not setting my expectations too high. As long as I get to view it, I'm a happy camper. To see it happen is going to help me realize that this is over."
McVeigh, 32, dropped all appeals last month without explanation. And last week he let the deadline pass for asking President Bush to spare his life, saying through a lawyer that it would have been a futile gesture.
That appeared to clear the way for the first execution by the federal government since 1963.
Several states have shown executions on closed-circuit television to small groups of people gathered near where the executions were held. The federal government has never done so.
Officials have not decided whether they would show the closed-circuit broadcast in Terre Haute or Oklahoma City, spokeswoman Linda Smith says. But she says officials have rejected McVeigh's suggestion, made in a letter to a newspaper, that the execution be broadcast nationally.
Martha Ridley, whose daughter was killed in the attack, is disgusted by the idea.
"He's so ego-tripping," she says. "He wants to make a martyr out of himself. If they broadcast it publicly, if they did it nationally, they would play right into Mr. Timothy McVeigh's hands."
Ridley is raising her 6- and 10-year-old granddaughters, who lost their mother, Kathryn Ridley, in the truck bombing. "He's been living six years longer than those people he took care of with that bomb," she says.
Jannie Coverdale, whose two grandsons died in the blast, says she would like to see the execution on closed-circuit TV.
Coverdale says she fears that while McVeigh is alive, he can teach his anti-government beliefs to fellow inmates.
"I don't believe in revenge," she says. "I don't hate him. But I don't trust him at all. He's just as dangerous in prison as he would be out of prison."
Among the more than 1,000 victims' relatives and survivors, there is just one who has said publicly that the government should spare McVeigh's life.
Bud Welch's 23-year-old daughter, Julie, died in the Murrah building, where she worked as a Spanish-English translator for the Social Security Administration. Welch, who is Catholic, says his daughter was against the death penalty. And he says he is convinced McVeigh is suicidal.
"The day we kill him, we've assisted suicide," Welch says.

A couple of weeks ago, I gathered together what writers like Paul Krugman, Matt Yglesias and Zachary Goldfarb were saying about the progress President Obama is making on reducing income inequality. This week the Congressional Budget Office released a report that affirmed their arguments. As Derek Thompson points out, it contains good news and bad news. When it comes to "market income" (pre-government intervention), inequality continues to rise. But if you include government tax and transfer policies, here's the kicker:
The upshot is that the federal government is doing more to correct inequality right now than at any time in the last 35 years. The five years when tax and transfer policies took the biggest bite out of inequality were the first five years of Obama's presidency.
This is how that looks in graph form using the GINI index (a measure of income inequality in which 0.0 = perfect equality):
What we see is the beginning of a de-couping of market income inequality from after-tax income inequality. This is a perfect example of what the President was talking about in the interview with Marc Maron when he described how government in a large democracy works.
It's like steering an ocean liner and making a 2 degree turn so that 10 years from now we're suddenly in a very different place. You can't turn 50 degrees all at once because that's not how societies – especially democracies – work. As long as we're turning in the right direction and we're making progress, government is working like its supposed to.
There are certainly those on the left who would like to see something more like that 50 degree turn when it comes to income inequality. President Obama's point is that's now how democracies work. But if, at the root of this question is the economic insecurity many Americans are feeling these days, the other argument is that attempting to turn the ocean liner too hard, too fast could risk a disaster and actually increase insecurity.
This is also how President Obama's efforts to reduce income inequality are similar to the systemic approach he's taken to combating climate change. It recognizes that economic systems contain the same kind of interconnectivity and tendency towards homeostasis that define all systems and injects incentives that create feedback loops for positive change. That is what happens when low income people are freed from health care debt and find that their health insurance can be portable. On the other end of the spectrum, it happens when financial institutions are incentivized to downsize rather than face increasingly large capitalization requirements. Or when the entire financial industry shrinks because many of its more nefarious ways of making money are eliminated.
In our bumper-sticker culture, these kinds of efforts to slowly turn the ocean liner 2 degrees don't tend to grab headlines. But with the CBO's latest report, we can begin to see the new trajectory we're on when it comes to income inequality.

Lessons from Foreign Countries on How U.S. States Can Spur Manufacturing
At the National Governor's Association March 2012 Chicago Policy Academy forum on "Making" Our Future: Encouraging Growth Opportunities through Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Investment, I shared several insights on how other countries are implementing innovative policies to attract or to grow manufacturing that may be applicable for policymakers in U.S. states, and thought I would recount those policies proposals here.
One policy instrument gaining global traction is the use of innovation vouchers (or "innovation checks") to spur R&D, new product development, and/or innovation activity in SME manufacturers. Almost a dozen countries—including Austria, Canada, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Sweden—as well as Iowa in the United States, use innovation vouchers. These vouchers, usually ranging in value from $5,000-$30,000, enable SMEs to "buy" expertise from universities, national laboratories, or public research institutes regarding preparatory studies, analysis of technology transfer, analysis of the innovation potential of a new technology, etc. The intent of the vouchers is both to spur innovation in SMEs and to stimulate knowledge transfer from universities and research institutions to SMEs; they also have an added benefit of more closely aligning the interests of industry and academia in a country.
The first two documents included review the effectiveness of Austria and Holland's innovation voucher programs. A brief summary: Holland's innovation agency, Senter Novem, has found that the program substantially stimulates innovation—eight out of ten vouchers issued resulted in an innovation that would not have otherwise come to fruition and 80 percent of new R&D jobs created in Holland since 2005 are attributable to the vouchers. Likewise, a 2011 review of the Austrian Innovationsscheck found it to be "a very useful program" that engendered positive networking effects between SMEs and research institutions and through which approximately five hundred SMEs had started an R&D effort.
Germany retains one of the world's most productive manufacturing economies. Hourly labor compensation of manufacturing workers in Germany is 40 percent higher than in the United States, yet Germany only lost about eight percent of its manufacturing workforce over the past decade, whereas the U.S. lost a third. Germany's exports of research-intensive products, as a share of GDP, are seven times greater than those of the United States, and whereas only 42 percent of U.S. manufacturing occurs in medium-high or high-technology industries, 58 percent of German manufacturing occurs in such industries.
Clearly, the United States stands to learn something from the effective policies Germany has put in place to support its manufacturing industries and manufacturing workforce. Two useful guides are Germany's Central Innovation Program (ZIM) for SMEs and the High Tech Strategy of Germany. The High-Tech Strategy identifies seventeen advanced cross-cutting technologies (ranging from biotechnology, nanotechnology, and microsystems technology to optical, materials, production, and information and communications technologies) that are critical to the ability of German industries and its broader economy to compete. For each technology, the strategy undertakes a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) assessment of where Germany (that is, its enterprises, universities, and research institutions) stand with regard to the development and deployment of the technologies. The strategy helps to identify gaps and to coordinate the resources of Germany's government, enterprises, and universities towards charting technology roadmaps to ensure German leadership in these technologies. U.S. states would be well served to develop similarly comprehensive strategies that articulate the strengths, weaknesses, assets, competencies, and needs of their manufacturing economies, and the German model provides a useful guide.
Germany's Central Innovation Programme (ZIM) for SMEs has three components: ZIM-KOOP, ZIM-SOLO, and ZIM-NEMO. ZIM-KOOP supports R&D cooperation projects among SMEs or between SMEs in conjunction with universities or research organizations by providing research project subsidies. The Central Innovation Programme provides grants of up to 50 percent for the SME and up to 100 percent per participating research institute, with a maximum of $245,000 per project. The program, launched in July 2008, has supported an average of 6,000 projects annually with a total of 19,500 applications received and 13,000 awards granted. Germany's 2011 ZIM budget totaled $545 million, but it received an added $1.26 billion boost (over 2010 and 2011) as part of Germany's economic stimulus package. By 2015, the ZIM budget is expected to grow to $735 million annually, all for SMEs. The full report comprehensively documents the ZIM program and how Germany supports its manufacturing SMEs, and may contain useful ideas for state policymakers looking to do the same.
Finally (while not foreign), a very useful resource is SSTI's report on Legislative Action in the States on Tech-based Economic Development in 2011. The report highlights innovative policies U.S. states are using to support manufacturing by providing access to capital, introducing tax incentives, investing in research, supporting higher education investments and STEM initiatives, reorganizing economic development and T-BED activities, and supporting clusters. For example, the report discusses how states like Louisiana and Virginia have expanded (e.g. made more generous) R&D tax credits for research that firms in the state undertake with the states' universities. (A number of countries and states in Canada, like Ontario, do the same). It also profiles Connecticut's Manufacturing Reinvestment Accounts, which allow manufacturing firms to invest funds of up to $100,000 annually in tax-deferred investment accounts that can subsequently be withdrawn for expenditures on capital equipment and machinery, workforce training, or R&D. Overall, the report provides a great guide to innovative legislative proposals in the states to support manufacturing.

Weather Matters: Ana batters Carolinas; Pacific hurricane season starts Friday
Satellite image of Ana as it made landfall. (Credit: NOAA)
Tropical Storm Ana came ashore at 6:40 a.m. today in northeastern South Carolina, producing tropical storm conditions over coastal areas of the Carolinas. A wind gust of 55 mph was recorded at the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier northeast of North Mytle Beach. Grand Strand Airport at North Myrtle Beach, measured a wind gust of 49 mph at 1 a.m.
Precipitation totals have been moderate. Wilmington, N.C. reported a 24-hour total of 0.88 of an inch through 8 a.m. Oak Island received 0.65 of an inch; and North Myrtle Beach picked up 0.47 of an inch. But before the Mother's Day storm clears the area early Monday, some areas could see rainfall totals of from 1-3 inches, according to the National Weather Service, with isolated amounts of up to 6 inches. A flood watch was still in effect as Ana moved on shore.
The National Hurricane Center said Ana would become a tropical depression later today and Monday as it turns toward the north-northeast and exits back into the Atlantic near the Delmarva Peninsula. It's forecast to become post-tropical off the coast of New Jersey Tuesday morning before it gets absorbed by a larger extra-tropical low pressure system.
At this point, none of the major forecast models show anything tropical spinning up in the Atlantic over the next seven days.
The Eastern North Pacific hurricane season begins Friday, about two weeks before the Atlantic season officials starts. Today's satellite image of the Pacific shows that things are still fairly quiet off the coast of Mexico.
(Credit: NOAA)
But experts don't expect it to stay that way for long. A preseason forecast released by Conagua, Mexico's water commission, called for 19 named storms with seven hurricanes and four major hurricanes Category 3 or stronger. That's generally attributable to El Niño conditions currently in place in the Pacific. Warmer than normal sea surface temperatures means more fuel for tropical storms.
Last year, when El Niño was still developing, there were 22 named storms in the Eastern North Pacific, with 16 hurricanes — which tied a record set in 1990 and 1992 — and nine majors. One of the most destructive of the season was Hurricane Odile, which battered the Baja California peninsula and went on to cause flooding in the U.S. Southwest.
The April forecast by Colorado State University for the Atlantic Basin called for just seven named storms, although that may be upped slightly with the June forecast due to the appearance of Tropical Storm Ana.
The next name on the Atlantic list is Bill. The Pacific will start things out with Andres.
RECORD HEAT IN EUROPE: The city of Catenanuova, Italy reported the hottest temperature ever in Europe last Wednesday, May 6, according to Weather Underground. The high was 107.4 degrees, edging out the previous European record of 107.1 set on May 17, 2006 in Andujar, Spain. The record heat occurred one day after a 104.7-degree reading at San Priamo in southeastern Sardinia — the earliest 40-degree Celsius temperature ever recorded in Europe.
Weather Underground credited the information to international weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera.
LOCAL FORECAST: It looks like a pleasant week for Palm Beach with forecast highs in the low-80s and lows in the mid-70s. The best chance for rain is Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Miami. Forecasters put precipitation chances at 30 percent.

NJ congressman slams 'moocher state'
Published 5:17 pm Wednesday, June 5, 2019
A Democratic New Jersey congressman recently vented his contempt for so-called 'moocher states' like Mississippi that receive more money from the federal government than they send back to Washington in the form of taxes.
U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-Wyckoff) who represents New Jersey's 5th District in Congress, held a press conference flanked by local officials to pat himself on the back for his efforts to win more federal grants for projects and public works in his district.
The two-term representative told constituents that his office was responsible for steering 35 percent more in federal dollars to his district in 2018 than in 2017. Gottheimer classified his grantsmanship for his district as "clawing" back federal dollars for New Jersey from what he referenced as "moocher states" and singled out Mississippi as a prime example of states that receive more in federal spending than their taxpayers contribute in federal taxes.
Gottheimer based his slam of Mississippi on a 2019 report from the Rockefeller Institute of Government which documented that in 2017 New Jersey received 82 cents for every dollar paid in federal taxes while Mississippi received $2.19 for each dollar paid in federal taxes. The congressman characterized his increased grant funding for New Jersey as "property tax relief."
Gottheimer's "moocher state" rant earned criticism from Mississippi U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who called the congressman's remarks "ridiculous" and said: "Mississippi is proud of everything it contributes to making this nation stronger, including world-class shipbuilding, multiple military facilities, defense manufacturing, and space rocket development. We're also a leading agricultural production state."
Compare Mississippi with New Jersey in this context. Mississippi, with a population around 3 million, receives net federal per capita spending of $6,880 per resident or $37.8 billion from the federal government. Some 15 percent of Mississippi residents receive federal SNAP or food stamps and the median household income is $43,529, second lowest in the country behind West Virginia.
New Jersey, with a population just under 9 million, receives net federal per capita spending of negative $2,368 per resident or $97.7 billion from the federal government. Some 8.9 percent of New Jersey residents receive federal SNAP or food stamps and the median household income is $80,088, second highest in the country behind Maryland.
One area where Gottheimer's "moocher state" rant falls particularly flat is in the area of agricultural production and food. Mississippi produces about $7 billion or 1.60 percent of the nation's ag cash receipts and the food that goes with it. New Jersey, with almost two-thirds as many mouths to feed, produces $1.139 billon or .30 percent of the nation's food.
Ten states generate 50 percent of the nation's $395.06 billion in agricultural cash receipts: California, Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, Wisconsin and North Carolina. They are the nation's leading food producing states. All "moocher states" according to Gottheimer.
The state's "victimized" by all this mooching – New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts – combined produce 1.80 percent of the nation's agriculture. One might ask just exactly which state is doing the mooching here?

BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Residents of this small U.S. city along the Canadian border were assessing damage from flooding that hit an estimated three quarters of homes, as Washington state and British Columbia tried to dry out from an intense, days-long rain storm that cut off key roadways and forced hundreds of evacuations.
Skies were sunny Wednesday morning in the area around Sumas, Washington, where about 500 rescues and evacuations were reported.
"We're looking at going door-to-door, as waters go down in different parts of town," Sumas Mayor Kyle Christensen told The Seattle Times. "Half is on dry ground, half has water."
By Wednesday afternoon, only one river in western Washington had active flood warnings.
The soaking fueled by a so-called atmospheric river that dumped torrents rain on the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia from Saturday through Monday reminded people of western Washington's record, severe flooding in November 1990 when two people died and there were more than 2,000 evacuations.
While the weather was improving, the situation remained dire in British Columbia, where the Canadian government was sending in the military to help with floods and mudslides that destroyed parts of several major highways. One death was reported and officials said Wednesday that more deaths were expected.
Immediately across the border from Sumas, police using helicopters and boats had evacuated about 180 residents of a flooded low-lying area of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Evacuations continued Wednesday.
Mayor Henry Braun said Wednesday that conditions were bad overnight because a key pumping station was in danger of being overwhelmed. He said crews spent Tuesday night sandbagging around the station and things were "holding steady."
"I'm feeling much better today than last night," Braun said, although he cautioned the danger had not passed.
Those evacuated in Abbotsford joined thousands of others in the province who were forced from their homes by floods or landslides starting Sunday night.
On Facebook, the City of Sumas said Wednesday that water levels were continuing to drop and it looked like the community wouldn't be affected by additional potential flooding in Abbotsford. It said crews were working hard to clear roads and return power to some parts of town.
"These families and businesses need our prayers and support as we start the process of cleanup and rebuilding over the next few days," the city said in another Facebook post.
To the south, a flood warning for Washington's Skagit River will remain in effect until Thursday because it will take time for the floodwaters to drain, the National Weather Service said. Officials recommended that residents of several nearby islands evacuate.
Across the border, the body of a woman was recovered from a landslide near the small community of Lillooet, British Columbia. Royal Canadian Mounted Police said at least two other people were reported missing.
British Columbia Premier John Horgan declared a state of emergency Wednesday following the unprecedented flooding.
In Washington's Whatcom County, home to Sumas, the county sheriff's office said on Facebook that authorities and search crews on Wednesday had located a body believed to be a 59-year-old man who had last been seen clinging to a tree after his truck was swept into a flooded field in the town of Everson.
In the city Ferndale, also southwest of Sumas, officials had urged people in homes and businesses Tuesday to evacuate near the rising Nooksack River and bystanders had rescued a man who had driven into floodwaters by mistake.
Evacuation notices were rescinded Wednesday and the flood warning had ended by Wednesday afternoon. Southwest of Ferndale, authorities said Wednesday that all routes off the Lummi Peninsula, home to the Lummi Nation, were closed because of water over the roads.
Officials in the city of Bellingham said only a few roads there remained closed on Wednesday because of flooding and officials were also assessing damage.
More rain fell in Bellingham from Saturday through Monday — about 5.57 inches (14.14 centimeters) — than normally falls there during all of November, according to National Weather Service data. The normal monthly rain total is 5.2 inches (13.2 centimeters) for November, the weather agency said.
Transportation officials on Washington's Olympic Peninsula — where the Coast Guard earlier in the week rescued 10 people stranded by floodwaters — on Wednesday were also assessing conditions and clearing debris from roads.
Officials said Wednesday that in the far northwest corner of the peninsula, people on the Makah Reservation have been prevented from leaving or entering because of landslides on nearby highways, The Seattle Times reported.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday declared a severe weather state of emergency in 14 counties. On a visit to Whatcom County Wednesday, he said some 500 homes had damage from the storms.
Inslee said he spoke with the mayors of Everson and Sumas and was astonished at the devastation he saw, The Bellingham Herald reported.
"I'm told they did top all-time flood levels in some places," he said.
Some of the floodwaters came after warmer rains quickly melted 4 feet of snow that previously fell in the Mount Baker wilderness. Inslee said Whatcom County should prepare for repeated floods and address the causes of climate change.
"We have to realize that we're going to face decades of increased floods in our state of Washington," he said.
Inslee promised to use state and federal money — including funds from President Joe Biden's recent infrastructure bill — to ease the effects of climate change.
This story has been updated to correct the name of the mayor of Sumas, Washington.
Baumann reported from Bellingham, Washington.

Canadians love to vacation in communist Cuba. They frolic on the beaches, dance in the clubs, and some of them bring home a souvenir from their island slave plantation adventure in the form of a Cuban wife or husband. And that is when Canadian hearts start breaking…
Marriage to Cuban leaves Brampton bride brokenhearted — and brokeErin Standen says the man she met in April 2010 vanished three days after finally joining her in Canada — an all-too-familiar story for Border Services.
After Erin Standen married the man of her dreams a year ago, she showered him and his family in Cuba with love — and gifts.
In June, while waiting for the spousal sponsorship to come through in Havana, the 28-year-old Brampton single mother began renovating her basement apartment for their new life.
She ripped out the carpet, installed tile floors, bought a 47-inch big-screen TV and put in a $4,000 bedroom set, anticipating his arrival.
On Jan. 12, the long wait was finally over and Jorge Manuel Batista Gonzalez, 33, arrived at Pearson International Airport, embraced by an exhilarated Standen.
Three days later, Standen says, Gonzalez — after kissing her goodbye as she left for her waitressing job — walked out the door with all the clothes and other things she had bought for him, along with $1,000 tip money she had collected in the bedroom.
All that remained of him, she says, was a misspelled note on a crumpled napkin: "Sorry I don't fell love anymore. Don't lock for me. I'l be good. I will try to pay you back. Thank x Everithing. Jorge Manuel."

Another broken Canadian heart from The Star:
From Cuba, yet another broken heartLike Brampton's Erin Standen, John-Barry Livingstone claims he was taken advantage of by a spouse who left soon after arriving in Canada.
Two years after his Cuban wife left him, John-Barry Livingstone is left with more than a broken heart.
When his three-year financial commitment as spousal sponsor to Vilma-Rosa Morales-Rodriguez ended last April, the Toronto architect received a $3,800 bill from the province for the welfare benefits his wife has collected.
Stories like his — and that of a Brampton woman whose tale of crushed Cuban love appeared in Thursday's Star — occur often, according to immigration lawyer Sergio Karas. Many of his clients come seeking help after a sponsored spouse abruptly leaves — five or six a year from the Dominican Republic alone.
"On a resort, in the tropic sun, when you have too many margaritas and pina coladas and these guys are sweet-talking you, you are vulnerable," Karas said. "I have people coming into my office, saying, 'I met this person; I want him here; how quickly can he be here?' Then (the sponsored spouses) came here and leave them."
In the past decade, 10,563 Cubans came to Canada as permanent residents, the majority under spousal sponsorships or family reunification.
According to an immigration official, marriages of convenience have become a concern at the Havana visa office. In a quality assurance exercise in 2011, officials contacted a sample of Canadians who had married and sponsored Cubans. About one-third of those relationships had ended soon after the new spouse's arrival in Canada. Fraud and misrepresentation were often cited as the reason, leading officials to review applications more closely than before.
Livingstone, 56, said he met Morales-Rodriguez, 27, at a park in Cuba in April 2007 while he was on a bike tour. After four return visits, he married her on Dec. 24, 2007, and sponsored her to Canada.
The former Cuban civil servant joined him in April 2009. But Livingstone said she left his home as soon as her 11-year-old daughter arrived in Toronto a year later — while he was on a business trip to Chicago.
The Star tried to reach Morales by phone for comment, but the number was no longer in service. An email to her was not returned.

For years the very popular sport of racquetball has been on decline. One of the biggest reasons is the lack of financial support for young, motivated and talented players who simply don't see a future for themselves in the sport they love due to major economic challenges. To address this lack of minimal but necessary resources to stay in and succeed in racquetball, a new nonprofit corporation has been created to address some of these deficits.
It is called Reaching Your Dream Foundation, incorporated in California and awaiting its tax exempt status from the IRS. This 501.3© will be accepting donations from individuals and corporations to help pay for such expenses as entry fees, housing, transportation, food, and even eventually supplementing prize pool awards to make it more worthwhile to stay in the sport. Vision of Reaching Your Dream Foundation is: Vitalized by an ongoing infusion of world-class talent, Racquetball grows in popularity, visibility, and respect.
And Mission is: Subsidize and mentor a new generation of racquetball players to compete at the highest level of play. Subsidize and mentor a new generation of racquetball players to compete at the highest level of play.

A tip-off in times of corona: amend your health & safety policy and risk inventory now!
Category: Employment law
Working from home
It follows from the working conditions legislation ("arbowetgeving") that employers are also responsible for a safe workplace in case employees are working from home. Sometimes this can be difficult given the fact that the possibilities in the context of supervision and monitoring of the home workplace are actually limited. Also, employees often do not have access to a responsibly equipped workplace. The employer must anticipate on this, for example by offering ergonomically responsible materials (keyboard, mouse, desk chair) and by informing employees about how to work safely at home. Structural home working may also have psychological consequences for employees. Employers must pay special attention to this, including in the context of the policy regarding the psychosocial workload that must be included in the risk inventory (RI&E). Employers may also offer support for the problems employees encounter when working from home. In general, it is advisable to lay down the agreements concerning working from home in an agreement.
Working from the workplace
Also in case employees work from the workplace, there are a number of "new" circumstances that the employer must take into account. The Labor Inspectorate has indicated that employers are obliged to take sufficient measures to guarantee the health of the employee as much as possible. This obligation also follows from the working conditions legislation. The measures that can be taken to protect employees against the coronavirus are, for example: mandatory walking routes, placing screens and drawing up and complying with a cleaning and disinfection policy. In addition, special attention must be paid to the ventilation possibilities in the company building. Whether sufficient measures have been taken will always depend on the specific situation. The frequency of work at the workplace, the number of employees present and the surface area of the building are important in this context.
What can be done by the employer in order to make its health and safety policy "corona proof"? It is not easy to say whether a health and safety policy is "corona-proof". Nevertheless, there are a number of steps that every employer can take to bring the policy (more) in line with the requirements of the working conditions legislation. Please find a number of practical tips below:
Working from home? If it is necessary for business operations, it is permitted – in accordance with government measures – to work at the workplace. The employer must make a well-considered decision in this regard. In the event of an inspection by the Labor Inspectorate, the employer must be able to demonstrate that the relevant circumstances were considered when making this decision. Therefore, it is advisable to lay down in writing the considerations that have led to the decision whether or not to work from the workplace. More specific, attention must be paid to which activities and positions could not be performed from home, either partially or entirely, and for what reasons.
Amend risk inventory – analyze the risks and possible measures: As described above, both in the case of working from home and working at the workplace, there are specific circumstances that the employer must anticipate on. Employers must identify what risks are present within the company and what measures can be taken to limit these risks. This must then be included in the mandatory risk inventory. The risk inventory will also have to be submitted to the Labor Inspectorate in case of inspection of the company. The Social and Economic Council ("Sociaal Economische Raad") has developed a manual that can be used when amending/complementing the risk inventory.
Discuss the subject with your employees: It is also desirable to have conversations with the employees about the way in which work is carried out in times of the corona crisis. Not only because it is mandatory for the employer to involve the employees in the company's occupational health and safety policy, but also because they may come up with other practical issues than those already envisaged by the employer.
In case the Labor Inspectorate carries out an inspection and comes to the conclusion that the occupational health and safety policy is not (sufficiently) aligned with the corona crisis, the employer will have to adjust the policy within a specified period. In addition, the Labor Inspectorate may decide to impose a fine. To prevent this, we advise you to act now by amending the occupational health and safety policy in the way described above.

Just eight days before the upcoming presidential election, Vanity Fair revealed its November cover featuring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For it, the congresswoman wore her signature red lipstick, which paired perfectly with the wall of pink roses behind her, and a white, double-breasted suit by NY-based label Aliétte. The latter is significant for more than just its good looks.
Over the course of political history, dating back to the suffrage movement, the colour white has been used as a symbol of hope, as well as a sartorial mode of resistance. In 1968, Shirley Chisholm wore white as she became the first Black woman to be elected to Congress. Hillary Clinton wore white on a number of occasions during her run for president in 2016, including to accept her bid as the Democratic party's nominee for president and to the final presidential debate. (Post-election, she wore white to Trump's inauguration, as well as to the 2020 Democratic National Convention.)
View this post on Instagram
Presenting our December cover star: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! Two elections in, the congresswoman is still fighting the fight—and she's as sure as she's ever been. Now, she opens up about her father's influence on her political life, the day Ted Yoho lost his shit, and what it means to become @AOC. "I don't want to be a savior," she tells V.F. "I want to be a mirror." Read the cover story now at the link in bio. Story by Michelle Ruiz. Photograph by @tylersphotos. Sittings editor @mr_carlos_nazario. Fashion director @chapoteau.
In January of 2019, when AOC was sworn in as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, the then-29-year-old wore an all-white ensemble, too. "I wore all-white today to honour the women who paved the path before me, and for all the women yet to come," she tweeted. "From suffragettes to Shirley Chisholm, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the mothers of the movement." Then, at the 2020 State of the Union, which marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote, a sea of congresswomen arrived at the event wearing white to bring attention to the ongoing fight for women's rights. Now, following Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation, the freedoms that women before us fought tooth and nail for are even more at risk.
Given the history of women in white in politics and AOC's own past wardrobe choices, it's no surprise that she once again donned the colour for VF. Along with her white Aliétte suit, she also wore a handful of prominent designers for the spread, including recent CFDA winner Christopher John Rogers, Loewe, and Wales Bonner. Staying true to her relatable character, the congresswoman accessorized with a necklace from beloved Canadian jewelry brand Mejuri. The Diamond Line Necklace, which features a gold bar with 11 small diamonds on it, is currently available to buy for $310. According to the website, each piece of Mejuri jewelry is "handcrafted, fairly priced, and made to wear — forever. So you can make every day a luxury and look good doing it." (One scroll through AOC's Instagram, and you'll spot her doing just that, with the necklace making an appearing on countless occasions, from Vogue Beauty Secrets videos to an Instagram Live with Elizabeth Warren to discuss the Essential Workers Bill of Rights.)
Count on AOC to balance out the high fashion ensembles with a necklace she wears in her day-to-day life — one that's also accessible (at least as diamond necklaces go). That, and wear an outfit that honours the past, as well as sends a strong message of resistance in the present and hope for the future.

Food truck party sparks debate about city ordinance
The nationwide food truck craze finally will hit the streets of downtown York on Friday night with the arrival of Foodstruck, a food vendor party featuring more than a dozen wheeled eateries.
With more than 1,500 likes on the event's Facebook page, the event could bring a flood of people to neighborhoods near North Pershing Street and boost numbers at downtown businesses, said organizer Philip Given, who was part of a group of seven city business owners and residents who created the event.
But while York foodies and area truck owners are prepping for a big night, others in the city are voicing concerns about what might happen to brick and mortar restaurants if a food truck industry rolls into York.
"I think it will hurt all of us in the long run," said Rich Zoeltsch, owner of Varsity Smoke Shack and Sandwiches at 39 W. Market St. Zoeltsch said he isn't against the Foodstruck event; his concern is about how a lunchtime food truck businesses would hurt local shops.
"We're trying to survive here. We have overhead. We have costs. ... They're going to pull in, set up shop and leave," he said. "If I had one, I'd do the same thing."
Under the current ordinance, food trucks are banned in the city except on construction sites in the Central Business District. The city also limits the number of mobile food cart vendor licenses on Continental Square to one.
The event isn't about making a statement against the city ordinance, Given said. "Our focus is throwing the party. ... We're not involved in any sort of reform."
However, Councilman Henry Nixon said Foodstruck has sparked some conversation that could turn to a more serious discussion about revising the food vendor ordinance in the coming months.
"I don't know the logistics of how a food truck or how food trucks would operate in York," Nixon said. "Where are these trucks going to set up? Will they be taking up valuable parking spaces?"
The discussion might center not only on where the trucks are allowed to operate, but also when they can occupy city streets.
"A lot of these places where I think it could really fit in is nighttime," David Albright, chef and owner of The Left Bank Restaurant and Bar, said. "The market isn't open at night. There's not many places after nine o'clock that you can get a neat taco or burrito."
Rather than stunting downtown eateries, Albright said the trucks could enhance neighborhood foot traffic.
"If you build the culinary scene, it will draw people down to a certain area and make York known as a food town," he said. With any type of new trend, "sometimes you have growing pains."
But Zoeltsch said for a business like his, which depends on city professionals for the majority of its customers, allowing food trucks in close proximity to the courthouse might crush his customer base.
He is in the first year of a three-year lease at his current shop and said he has too much invested in the site to be able to afford his own truck.
If businesses like the Smoke Shack go under, "what's left down here? A bunch of empty stores, and that's one more reason not to come downtown," he said.
Although city ordinance reform falls outside of the purpose of Foodstruck, Given said he feels the issues that are cropping up as a result of the event are ones that should be looked at in more depth.
"On either side of the debate, we're talking about stuff that hasn't been talked about before," he said. "I don't know what's best for the city ... so, I think that conversation is beneficial."
With so many stakeholders, there might not be an easy fix to the city's legislation.
"It's just such a long conversation that has to do with the growth of downtown," Given said. "Everybody's input is going to be really crucial."
Contact Hannah Sawyer at (717) 771-2032.
If you go
What: Foodstruck
When: 5 to 9 p.m. Friday
Where: North Pershing Avenue between Market Street and Philadelphia Street
Details: Beer also will be available from the Beer Ace at First Capital Dispensing Co.
What is Foodstruck?
Foodstruck is York's first-ever food truck party, said Philip Given, who created the event along with six other downtown business owners and residents.
The event will feature about 14 mobile lunch counters that will serve up everything from ice cream to pork buns.
Organizers wanted to create an event that would draw visitors into downtown York, and the idea for a food truck party came from members of the group who had visited other food truck mashups in Harrisburg and other areas, Given said.
The event is a one-time thing right now, but if it goes well, the group might consider holding quarterly parties in the future, he said.
"It's hopefully going to be a crazy night," he said.

I'm fairly certain that the idea of jumping over an island has never crossed my mind in all my years of thinking. But if you're a champion kitesurfer like Youri Zoon and you stumble across a small enough island, well, that's just another day on the beach for you. Jumping the damn thing and nailing it is just how you live. Watch Zoon catch the perfect gust of wind and fly over an entire 120-foot island near New Caledonia. Sick.

Funny how there is no mention of the name "Cloud Control" in the latest announcement. Does that mean we are back to calling it just Enterprise Manager again?
Anyway, the latest instalment of EM has been born. The downloads are available on OTN.
I've got mine downloading. The past few versions have been relatively easy to install on a clean system, but the upgrades have been a total pig. I'm hoping this one is going to be significantly easier… Sucker… 🙂

Super Eagles Defender, Semi Ajayi hits a brace in Rotherham United in their 2-1 win against Queens Park Rangers in a Sky Bet Championship encounter played on Wednesday, March 13.
Ajayi did not score in Rotterdam's 2-0 loss to Sheffield United in their last encounter but scored two in their 3-2 home win against Blackburn Rovers.
The Nigerian international was given a starting berth by Paul Warne for the game against QPR at Loftus Road.
The first half ended goallessly but it was Semi who scored the game's opener in the 71st minute.
Bright Osayi-Samuel a player of Nigerian descent gave QPR a lifeline when he converted a ball through to him by Nahki Wells in the 85th minute to level the scores.
Semi would have the final say when he converted a corner by Anthony Forde in the 90th minute, with just a few minutes left to play Semi and his Rotherham teammates held on to claim all three points.
Before the game against QPR, Rotherham had not recorded an away win in the Championship this season.
Semi who is a defender has been flourishing in a midfield role which has seen him score four goals in four games.
The win helps Rotherham in their push to move up in the Championship as they aim to avoid relegation.
Semi is expected to return to action when Rotherham host Norwich City in their next encounter scheduled for Saturday, March 16.

This Website also got great results in our tests for its interactivity. If you're looking for something specific, like a geometry formula for finding the sum of the angles in various shapes, OnlineMathLearning can be very helpful. One downfall: It wasn't able to address all of our mathematics test questions.

Our heart beats and pumps blood all around the body, blood is pumped with force and as the blood moves it pushes the walls of blood vessels. The pressure with which the blood pushes the walls of vessels is called the blood pressure if the pressure is too high it puts extra pressure on the arteries and that may result in the heart stroke. High blood pressure puts no obvious signs or symptoms. Therefore, you should get it measured after few intervals to keep a check on what your blood pressure count is. It is wise to keep your blood pressure low, but it is wiser to avoid it happening in the future by adopting healthy habits and try eating foods which help to lower blood pressure. By eating these foods to lower blood pressure, everyone can keep their blood pressure in control. The higher the blood pressure the higher the health risks tend to occur.
The ideal blood pressure is 120/80 which means we should not have your blood pressure, lower than 80 and higher than 120. It can be maintained between this range, but for that, you need to follow a healthy lifestyle. healthy foods to lower blood pressure should also be included in your lifestyle. About 70 million people in the USA have Hypertension or high blood pressure, i.e., one of every 3 adults are coping with this problem and about only half of the people (around 52%) with high blood pressure have their condition under control. Home remedies are a boon if you can include foods which would help you lowering your blood pressure level and keeping it under control. The foods to lower blood pressure are as follows.
(A) Adapt Foods to Lower Blood Pressure:
1.) Dairy & Oil to Lower Blood Pressure
There is a link between the consumption of a low dairy product and reduced risk of high blood pressure according to the Australian researchers. The experiment was seen mostly accurate with low-fat yogurt and milk, but not with cheese. The cause of this is unclear, but people who include it in their diet tend to have a healthier lifestyle.
Extra virgin olive oil; it is probably the healthiest oil in the world, it contains phenolic antioxidant and monounsaturated fats which are healthy for the heart. According to a major study, it reduced heart stroke rates and death by thirty percent.
Omega 3 fats, which are obtained from fish oils are very much beneficial to human cardiovascular health. Fish oil supplements are a better alternative to eating oily fish and more healthy as well. However, if you have access to fish, 2-3 servings per week should provide heart-healthy benefits, but choose to eat less fried or oily dishes.
2.) Go Green to Lower High Blood Pressure
I am not suggesting you to turn into Hulk rather be Popeye, eat green leafy vegetables as much as you can, green vegetables are rich in Potassium which balances the potassium Sodium ratio in your body eventually resulting in lowering the blood pressure and keeping it in balance.

As I've said before and will continue to repeat, I am very careful not to be a proponent of homeschooling here on my site. The reason for this is simple:
Homeschooling is not for everyone.
It really isn't. It's an all-encompassing (and totally personal) lifestyle and parenting decision that must be accompanied by much consideration about what's going on in the family at the time, what the educational needs of the children are, what the availability of the parents is, and about three thousand other matters that no one but the parents of the child/children in question should even think about considering.
I repeat: Homeschooling is not for everyone.
And by the way, I was educated in the public school system. And just look how I turned out!
(Anyone? Anyone?)
Anyway, I thought I'd share this list of famous homeschoolers throughout history. Whether you homeschool or not, I think you'll get a kick out of some of the names.
The list is by no means complete, so feel free to shout out others you might know about.
James Madison
George Washington
Woodrow Wilson
Andrew Jackson
James Garfield
Leonardo da Vinci
Andrew Wyeth
Claude Monet
Grandma Moses
Alexander Graham Bell
Thomas Edison
Eli Whitney
Wright Brothers
George Patton
Douglas MacArthur
Robert E. Lee
Stonewall Jackson
Agatha Christie (pictured above)
Samuel Clemens
Charles Dickens
Robert Frost
C.S. Lewis
Beatrix Potter
Louis Armstrong
The Jonas Brothers
Frankie Muniz
Whoopi Goldberg
Charlie Chaplin
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Benjamin Franklin
Ansel Adams
Margaret Mead
Albert Schweitzer
Frank Lloyd Wright
Sandra Day O'Connor
Winston Churchill
George Washington Carver
Albert Einstein
Booker T. Washington
Joan of Arc
Brigham Young
Pierre du Pont
As I look over this list, I can't help but feel a kinship with all of the parents of these people.
I'll bet when they saw that annoying Staples commercial come on the TV every fall—the one where the dad is so excited his kids are starting school that he's dancing down the aisles and singing "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" as he's buying their school supplies—these parents bitterly muttered "Shut up" and changed the channel, too.
I do it every year.
But that little twinge of jealousy is normal.

As the gateway to justice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the District Court is dedicated to the administration of justice in a fair, impartial and timely manner in accordance with the rule of law. In fulfilling this role, the District Court will provide the communities it serves with an environment that is safe, accessible and respectful to all. The District Court will conduct its business with integrity, competence, and a commitment to excellence in order to promote public trust and confidence in the judicial system. — Mission Statement of the District Court of the Commonwealth of MassachusettsThe District Court's mission statement recognizes that timeliness is an essential component of justice. In fiscal year 2007, 784,250 individual cases were filed in the 62 District Court divisions. Prior to the recent emphasis on accountability and periodic assessment of progress, it was a significant challenge to implement a methodology that would support the efforts of first justices and court management teams to make timely resolution of cases a reality.
While the culture of the District Court had institutionalized sound caseflow management practices that encouraged timely disposition, there was no effective way to measure timeliness and document our progress. Historically, decisions about allocating judicial resources were based upon anecdotal information rather than accurate data and current needs. We were not able to provide first justices and court leadership teams with the type of information needed to manage their busy court calendars and to formulate strategic plans to avoid logjams and better serve the public.
The introduction of MassCourts Lite in 57 of our 62 divisions allowed the District Court to measure timeliness and to identify backlogs at a level of detail never before available. On a weekly basis, regional staff now provide first justices with information from MassCourts Lite on the number of pending cases that are outside of time standards. First justices now are able to identify caseflow issues and to schedule based on court needs. Even more importantly, each court has weekly case lists which identify the individual docket number and next scheduled event of every pending case outside of time standards. This enables first justices and local court management teams to prioritize these cases for disposition.
In the past year, the use of caseflow information provided by MassCourts Lite has become routine among District Court first justices and court leadership teams. Among the examples: in one busy District Court, the first justice, in consultation with the clerk-magistrate and chief probation officer, revamped the court's schedule to provide additional time to hear civil cases. In one judicial region, the regional administrative judge centralized the assignment of civil jury trials to a few locations based on the detailed case information that is now available. In another court, a backlog of criminal jury business was addressed locally by scheduling more criminal jury trials each day; in three months the court's backlog of criminal cases outside of time standards has been reduced by more than one-third.
The leadership teams in each of the 62 district courts across the commonwealth have embraced the case processing information provided by MassCourts. They have used this information to manage their court's business in a way that was not possible even two years ago.The "marriage" of the Trial Court's initiative on timeliness and expedition of cases and the implementation of MassCourts Lite has resulted in an overall clearance rate of 102 percent in the District Court's criminal caseload, a proud achievement in fulfilling the District Court's mission as the gateway to justice.

What I do is list a site; you critique it. But here's the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don't leave the comment using your normal alias/login – instead, go anonymous, and be as brutally honest (or complimentary) as you wish to be. Also, be specific, and naturally, don't be rude. If I deem anything inappropriate, I'll have no problem deleting the comment.

RIVERSIDE, MO—Yanfeng USA Automotive Trim Systems, an automotive supplier based in China, announced Monday that it plans to build a $45 million new manufacturing plant here.
The new 258,000-sq.-ft. plant will manufacture interior trim components, including door panels, floor consoles and instrument panels for General Motors' assembly plants in Kansas City, Kan., and Wentzville, Mo. Construction on the facility is expected to begin in the next month, and the plant is expected to be operational in early 2014.
State and local officials from the Kansas City, MO area worked for more than a year to land the plant, and had support from NorthPoint Development, KCP&L, CBRE Group Inc., Missouri Gas Energy and KC SmartPort. "Our Kansas City region is seeing significant job creation from automotive industry suppliers due to the massive reinvestment from our local auto manufacturers including Ford and GM," said Bob Marcusse, president and CEO of the Kansas City Area Development Council. "Investment from Yanfeng USA offers further evidence that our region can compete in a global marketplace as a formidable business and lifestyle destination."
The company is part of Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Tooling Co. Ltd., which was founded in Dec. 2006 as a joint venture established by Visteon Corp., Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Visteon had been an in-house supplier to Ford, but was spun off on its own. The company, now based in Van Buren Township, Mich., emerged from bankruptcy in 2010.

""Urban Attractors, Private Distractors" � um projeto com vlogs criando derivas e psicogeografias entre NY e Ho Chi Minh para discutir espa�o p�blico, ciberespa�o, espa�o privado entre Leste e Oeste. Dois grupos realizam a��es em espa�os p�blicos destacando as fronteiras e filtros invis�veis que emergem das tecnologias m�veis e do espa�os das duas cidades.
"This vlog project explores the shared psychodynamics that are involved in group boundaries that identifies what is inside (cultural, spiritual, political) and how it is reflected on the outside (architecture, urban planning, symbols, monuments). Here, psychogeography refers to the inhabitants� collective psychological representations of place, the influences on those �maps� and the group interaction and dynamics according to this common map."
"The collective will address questions such as: How is a city constructed in a culture where the inhabitants have little experience of a private physical space? Do they adapt more readily to cyberspace which is both private / public simultaneously? How do Westerners reclaim their 'public space'? Organized d�rives in both cities will commence at the most public of spaces–the town square. Participants will submit videos as urban indicators of private and/or public to the vlog until the workshop meetings in June 2007. Angie Eng, the project director, will continue vlogging until the commencement of the physical installation in Fall 2007."

maxresults in subquery -- documentation and product help banner differ
Hi SumoLogic community
I'm using a subquery with 'maxresults=10000" as written in the documentation. When I am running the query w/the subquery, the sumo product flashes a yellow banner which recommends I add maxResults to my subquery.
Which syntax is it? maxresults OR maxResults?
Asking because neither seem to work.
3 comments
| json auto
| where
[subquery from=(yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:ss) to=(yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:ss):
_sourceCategory=(same cate as above)
| json "type", "user_name", "user_agent" as type, user_name, squseragent
| where type matches "s*"
| compose user_name maxresults=10000]
| order by user_name
| fields _time, type, user_name, client_name, user_agent
Note: yyyy is a 4 digit year (2020
mm is a 2 digit month
dd is a 2 digit day of month
HH is 2 digit, hour of 24-hour day
MM is 2 digit, minute within hour
ss is 2 digit second within minute
Hi Sarah,
I have just tested and both of these will work:
- | compose user_name maxresults=10000]
- | compose user_name maxResults=10000]
The warning that you are seeing is likely related to the number of user names you are returning over the time window of your query. It sounds like even after you add maxResults=10000, you are exceeding 10,000 users.
Please sign in to leave a comment.

One thought on "2-Minute Message: What does coffee taste like?"
Wonderful message Chris. Seems the moment I'm getting closer to a faint resemblance of humility…….I've already lost it …..having been self righteous enough to think it was attainable. A very fleeting target yet should always be strived for.
Bit chilly for surfing eh? :))

One of our farm goals this year is to continue to improve our pastures. Pastured chickens can contribute a great deal towards this goal, so this year we are experimenting by planning to raise about 50. And so… chicks!
We built a brooder in an unused stall in the barn, leveraging an old chicken run donated by our friends Joe and Courtney. Raising the chicks in the barn will mean a LOT less mess in the house this time around.
Our first arrival was an order of 25 chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery – mostly Ameraucanas, but also a mix of fun breeds. We hope to be able to sell some of the birds as laying pullets once they reach 5 months old – and in the meantime they will do us the favor of working on our thatched pastures.

The fall of the Ptolemaic Kingdom in 30 BC was nothing if not dramatic: there was unrest and uprising in Egypt, the death of Queen Cleopatra VII, and the surge of the Roman Empire. According to researchers addressing the European Geosciences Union General Assembly in April, volcanic eruptions probably had a hand in the fall of the Ptolemaic dynasty as well. That's right, volcanoes.
A team of volcanologists and historians, including Joseph Manning of Yale and Francis Ludlow of Trinity College Dublin, got together to compare notes. When they studied historical accounts alongside data from ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica (samples acting as chemical roadmaps to the past), they found the timing of eruptions—and the fallout from said eruptions—coincided with the unrest in the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
