More than three million Iraqis were forced to flee their homes. More than one million of them found refuge in the safe Kurdish provinces of the country. Every fifth person in Kurdistan-Iraq is now a refugee. Most of them live in overcrowded camps and struggle to make a living. Winters in Iraq can be rough, especially in unheated tents, yet not every family can afford buying gasoline for the heaters or even shoes for their children.
Since the start of the refugee crisis in Iraq, the Jiyan Foundation has been able to assist some 14,000 refugee families through the distribution of emergency aid with the generous support of Misereor. Our teams volunteered to deliver water and food packages, milk for babies, hygiene kits as well as heating and cooling devices in cooperation with local communities, churches, mosques and camp managers.
In winter 2014, when thousands of Yazidi survivors of IS terror got stuck on Mount Sinjar, the Jiyan Foundation managed to send more than one ton of relief items by helicopter and cars. In May 2015 we distributed water-powered air conditioners to the 3120 Yazidi families living in the Khanke camp near Duhok. With outside temperatures approaching 50°C, these air coolers came as a huge relief.
With your donation you can support our aid programs for refugee families in Iraq.

To halve and to hold
What to do with decimated tech investments
I've spoken with many individual investors and financial advisors recently. By far the most often asked question is, "What should I do with my technology funds?" Most technology fund investors have lost at least half of their money in such funds, leaving many stunned by this bear market. Some might think the worst is over (as they wrongly did last December) and opt to hold on through the eventual recovery. Others see a flat or downward market for many more years. I'd say reality sits somewhere in between.
Get back to the basics
The best starting point has to be to start anew. Really think about what you want your money to do for you. Write down your objectives - and do your best to make those are realistic. Then make note of things like how long before you start using your portfolio for income; how much risk you're willing to take; how much risk you need to take; and other things affecting your investments, like taxes.
This should give you some idea of the type of asset mix strategy (i.e. how you allocate your money between stocks, bonds, and cash) you'll need. For instance, people taking regular cash withdrawals from their investments should have a healthy bond/cash component - and minimal exposure to specialty funds (like small cap momentum funds and any fund emphasizing specific business sectors) - to ensure stability.
In other words, determining your asset mix strategy is like deciding on a destination for your vacation. Once you figure out your destination point, you're well equipped to pick a mode of transportation and book your tickets. However, many investors do the equivalent of buying a plane ticket before figuring out where the heck they're going and how long it'll take to get there.
Comparing "where you should be" with "where you are", in terms of asset mix, will give you at least a general idea of what changes, if any, you'll need to consider.
Then it will be time to delve into the specific holdings in each component.
The technology view
Let's assume your overall mix of stocks, bonds and cash is suitable but that, like many, a disproportionate amount of your stock component is tied to funds pursuing a technology mandate.
I would get rid of funds with a specific mandate of investing in technology stocks. Sure, tech stocks have been pummeled and buying them now could be seen as a contrarian move. However, my views on tech stocks, in general, are not positive. I get the feeling that there's some built-in expectation that a) technology will be the next great growth sector, again; and b) that the same big companies will dominate again like they did a few years ago.
I have a problem with that because a winning sector rarely repeats in consecutive cycles; but even when it does it's usually not lead by the same cast of characters. What are money managers are holding these days.
Growth managers generally look for companies that are on a roll - with respect to their earnings, revenues, and upward revisions of forecasts thereof - or that appear to have a bright future three to five years ahead of them. (And they're not afraid to pay a high price today for the potential of that future growth.) Such managers held a healthy chunk of tech stocks throughout the mid-to-late 1990s. Today, these managers hold little to nothing in pure tech stocks. For the most part, growth managers' tech holdings currently range from zero to less than fifteen per cent. That's a far cry from the 40 to 75 per cent tech weighting many of these managers had at the height of the tech frenzy.
The currently low weighting reflects the fact that corporate spending on technology equipment remains depressed, with no visible recovery. Further, revenues continue to sag and companies continue to revise their projections downward. No wonder managers using a style called "growth" have no interest in this sector.
I do think tech will eventually come back, but I don't think it will be anytime soon; and I don't think it will be as widespread as the rise of the late 1990s.
In this October 2001 article , I recommended that aggressive investors should start treading back into tech stocks, with the idea that they'd start stabilizing again in 2002. However, tech stocks promptly soared during the last three months of the year from the post-September 11 lows. Hence, when I revisited this issue in my first article of 2002 , I suggested taking profits in tech stocks since they'd risen so quickly and unexpectedly.
Food for thought
So, what should you do if you're sitting on big losses in a bunch of tech funds?

Have we reached the end already? Tonight is the final session of the Bible in an Hour and I'm looking at the Revelation to John.
I confess that I put this on out of duty rather than joy, but that I've thoroughly enjoyed working on Revelation and want to do more!
So come along tonight and find out how Revelation can help make sense of England's ashes win, but not the weather forecast, why Martin Luther thought it should not be in the New Testament, and who described it as the "Judas of the New Testament".
It should be available shortly thereafter on virtual theology.
Thanks as ever to Mark for the wonderful artwork, which has been a marvellous addition to the summer's series.

This is what life is like when you don't do things the easy way.
Holy Moly it was cold this year. I only went on the trip this year because my wife didn't go last year. Anyone who endures a winter in this part of China should see this celebration of…cold. It's a rite of passage. In other words, I figured that if I had to suffer through it, it was only fair that my wife suffer through it as well. And it was worth punishing myself to go a second time, so that she could get punished, too.
The day we arrived in Harbin, it was -20º Celsius, well below zero Fahrenheit. The whole thing is outdoors, so you really have to be careful how you dress. Dressing in layers is only part of it.
The ice festival is in two parts. The ice sculpture part is best viewed at night, because following China's idea of good taste, the sculptures are lit up in neon lights. "Gaudy" doesn't really do it justice: "in your face" is closer to the experience.
The ice sculpture part is crowded, bitterly cold, and frenetic. Just getting into the park was stressful. Traffic was terrible, parking was a mess. Once we were in, we lasted less that two hours, then we were ready to leave.
The other part of the festival is the snow sculptures. That part is in a park, and it's a lot more relaxing. There are a lot fewer people there, it's spread out over a larger area, and you go during the daytime.
I'm starting to think that a lot of attractions in China are things that you see in order to say that you saw them, rather than things that you see in order to enjoy them. There's a folk saying in China that if you haven't climbed the Great Wall, then you aren't really a man. There's an ironic second line that goes after you have climbed the Great Wall, you are full of regret (it rhymes in Chinese).
I'm glad that I went to the ice festival the first time. I endured the second trip. Neither was much fun. It was cold both times.
But I can say that I went.
In Hangzhou, on the banks of the historic and scenic West Lake, is a house. The son of Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo 蔣經國, lived there for a short time with his family in the 1940s. The house is a nice example of architecture from the Republican period.
There's a plaque commemorating the site as an historical landmark.
So what's the catch? The house is in a very busy commercial area, on a main thoroughfare. Preserving the house and maintaining it is very costly. Apparently, no one wanted to take on the responsibility, so a commercial enterprise bought it and converted it to a business.
I have very mixed feelings about this. Of course, it's wonderful that the house is being preserved, and it's available for the public to see. And it's decorated very tastefully. The Starbucks is especially nice inside.
However, imagine if someone wanted to open a McDonald's franchise inside a house that George Washington once lived in. I think there would be some public protest, even outrage.
But what if the house were about to be torn down, and McDonald's promised to preserve the house as much as possible? That was the dilemma that this house faced.
In the end, in this case, maybe being turned into a fast-food restaurant was the price of historical preservation. I don't know if the price was too high, but I do know that I appreciated being able to see the house, even if I had to buy a hamburger in order to see it.
And I'm not even going to touch the irony that the commercial enterprise that rescued this piece of Chinese history is the symbol of American cultural hegemony.

As per Simple Investor SG Facebook Page, we had a very successful "Face to Face, Ask Us Anything" 1st session! We will definitely continue with this kind of event and we hope to see more participants coming for next few sessions!
1 particular topic that day really impacted me and that is "Concentration or Diversification"?
Simple Investor SG keeps only a handful of counters in his portfolio, while I currently hold about 25 counters in my portfolio.
He always explains that he only invest in the top few companies that he determines. The quote he always use is "It is diworsification. Why bother with 7th best or the 8th best company, when you already knew which is your top company?"
He tends to dig deep and find out as much as possible about the company prior to investing. Thus, he will only invest once he determines it is one of the best.
I totally understand and believe in this theory. I had been wanting to do it, at least try to hold on to 15 to 20 counters only. But this require really a lot of conviction in the company that you choose to invest in, and you must also know the company inside-out.
Nevertheless, comparing his returns and mine, I believe this is something I need to learn and practice in 2018 if I really intend to achieve my 30% portfolio gain target at the end of the year.
If you are interested to come for our next Ask-Us-Anything event, do email me and let me know.

Apart from illegal medicines like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, vicodin abuse is trailing behind other drug addiction cases in the U.S.. Hydrocodone is one of the widely abused drugs in society that damaged millions of lives not only in the U.S. but in different countries worldwide.
Attributes of Hydrocodone
Hydrocodone is one type of semi synthetic opioid obtained from 2 natural opiates, the thebaine and codeine. It is often incorporated with other less effective non-opioid chemical compounds such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. This medicine is classified under Schedule III and has limited restrictions, usage and distribution. It is one of the widely prescribed painkillers by doctors and one of the frequently abused medicines nowadays. It is manufactured, distributed and sold in different brand names in drug stores, pharmacies and online stores. Since it is a narcotic drug, its effects similar to that of morphine and heroine.
According to the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, hydrocodone is the most abused prescribed medication in the country because its usage quadrupled since 2002. Figures also reveal that emergency room admissions in hospitals rose by about 500% due to xanax addiction, hydrocodone addiction and other types of prescription drug addiction.
Effects of Hydrocodone
When individuals consume hydrocodone, their brains stop manufacturing endorphins, thus their bodies can't function well. For this reason, they became dependent on the drug to perform well.
It also affects the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of individuals. Moreover, the abuse of hydrocodone can lead to broken families, relationships and shattered lives. Because they are already dependent on the drug, they should be taken to drug rehab centers for treatment and recovery. Because it is not as strong and serious as other street drugs or alcohol, its effects are not that severe compare to illegal drugs.
Harmful Effects of Hydrocodone
Similar to other misused and abused drugs, it has its corresponding repercussions that are classified into two categories, the common side effects and the serious side effects. The common and milder repercussions include dizziness, nausea, lightheadedness, vomiting and drowsiness. Meanwhile, the serious side effects include confusion, anxiety, yellowing of the urine, jaundice, severe constipation, irregular breathing, slow heart rate, difficulty of passing the urine, severe liver damage and many more.
Warning Signs of Hydrocodone Abuse
Since hydrocodone has higher degree of emotional and physical dependence, it is best that you should be aware of its warning signs. If you noticed a friend or a member of the family experienced bone pain, insomnia and muscle pain, then they are at risk of addiction. Other signs of addiction to hydrocodone include juggling with doctors to buy hydrocodone, ingesting higher quantities than what is prescribed and taking more pills to obtain the same effect.
If you noticed two or more signs mentioned above, then be sure to get speedy medical assistance from your physician or counselor. Keep in mind that the longer you wait to seek guidance and assistance, the more difficult it is to kick the habit.

In one of the novels I'm writing (I'm currently working on two), there is a language used by what the novel calls "al-Dajjal"(1) to indoctrinate billions of children. I have put the first draft of an appendix for the novel on the internet for people to read about how language could ensue such a task. Tell me what you guys think - www.geocities.com/hotmyol/ThePowerofLanguage.txt (1) Al-Dajjal is described by Muslims as the arabic word for "the Antichrist." As a Christian, I heavily study the apocalyptic Bible and reread those portions often to see if it can accurately describe current events (by the way, the UN is taking some actions that some Christians have expected to happen in the end times - it wasn't until they actually began these actions that I myself believed that the UN actually has the possibility of being the Beast of the Sea). My dad, a Muslim, has taught me of al-Dajjal, al-Mahdi, and Isu in the endtimes (the "Antichrist," the defeator of the "Antichrist," and Jesus) and I eventually came to the theological conclusion that al-Dajjal will exist, but will not be the Antichrist. I suspect that al-Dajjal will probably be from the UN or the Pope (although I feel that the Pope is going to gain more power in the UN than what he has now) will be al-Dajjal because... well, you have to read the appendixes when I publish the book ;) This book, if not published by a publisher, will be available as an ebook for a cheap price... probably no earlier than 10 years from now. (Of course, watching for "signs," I think within 10 years the antichrist will rise and won't let me publish it ;))

This week the working party focused on the Trebanos stretch of the canal and enjoyed a day of glorious spring sunshine. We numbered twenty two volunteers and six from the White Thorns.
A group led by Gill headed up to Trebanos Fields' to gather in fifteen bags of bottles and cans previously collected by the White Thorns volunteers. This detritus gets washed down through the piped section of the canal from Pontardawe. It is now destined for recycling.
A hundred metres downstream a small group led by volunteer Michelle tackle a tributary stream that has created a large gravel bed partially blocking the channel. Evenly spaced willow branches are set vertically into the silt. Esther and Gill are weaving supple willow cuttings between the stakes to create a barrier that is porous to water, but will hold back some of the gravel. Then the hard work begins as the accumulated gravel bank is dug out restoring a good depth of water. David surveys the scene and collects up the tools. A couple of hours of work next time will complete this exercise.
Further downstream Gordon and his merry little team continue with repairs to the canal bank where 'wash holes' are undermining the foundation of the towpath. The bags are filled with gravel dug from the canal, mixed with a 'weak mix' of cement and then carefully arranged along the bank. This line of bags follows the original footings of the bank, and will be topped off with stone.
A break for tea, coffee and relaxation was called. Volunteer Jan enjoys a coffee and a gentle swing, while our fastidious fund-raiser Andy, takes a well-earned rest
This young plant was spotted growing along the side of the canal. Any ideas as to what it is? Answers on a postcard to……. Or come along and join us next week. Many thanks to all.

text: I must admit- When I hear of changes to what is a fragile river environment it gives me concerns about what effects it may have on its fish stocks. Having read of adverse effects on fish stocks on rivers where hydro schemes have been installed this really does worry me (and I gather those that own fishing share these concerns). Will Esk's increasingly at risk salmon and sea trout stocks be affected by it? http://www.eskvalleyenergy.org.uk/

Debate: Do brides really want to be "thinner" for their wedding day?
Why do you need to diet?
A few weeks ago, I was having a coffee with my friend a couple of months ahead of her big day. She is a lovely size 12 with beautiful curves which will really suit her gorgeous 50s-style dress. When it was my turn to go and order, I asked if she'd like any cake or a pastry. She visibly shuddered and declined. She's on a wedding diet.
There is absolutely nothing overweight about my friend. She doesn't need to lose any weight for health reasons, and she's always been happy and confident with the way she looks. She's never been one to suddenly put on a lot of weight in a short period of time, but with the wedding looming, she's suddenly panicked. What if she doesn't fit into her dress? What if any part of her body looks "fat" in her photos?
She's not alone. Months before my wedding I had the same panic. I decided that my size 10-12 figure was too big, my arms too doughy, my chins too… multiple. It was alright for every day life, I mused, but not for my wedding day. I started to totally stress myself out, with new diets starting on a weekly basis, spurts of intense exercise that never lasted.
Eventually I stopped and examined my motives. Why did I think that smaller was better? I was upset that on the scale I was heavier than I used to be as a size eight. I was fretting about my dress size. But was I actually unhappy with the way I looked? Did the weight not suit me? Did I feel unattractive? I decided that I would just eat what I liked. Giving up on the ideal of being "thinner" wasn't easy. I struggled a lot with it, went back and forward in my mind. It seemed to go against all my natural instincts as all my wedding buddies were shedding the pounds around me. And suddenly the big day was upon me. I wasn't the skinny creature I'd envisioned I'd be on my wedding day. I was just… me. In a wedding dress.
And that was totally fantastic.
Putting on my dress on the morning of the wedding, I just felt like myself. And why would I want to feel like someone else when I'm making such a big commitment as spending the rest of my life with someone? If my weight is fine for my everyday life, why do I need to change it for my wedding day? I didn't feel fat, I didn't feel self conscious. I felt like me.

Does every bride want to look "thinner"?
I recall clearly talking about my weight worries to another industry supplier at the time who told me that "every bride, even a size eight, wants to look thinner on her wedding day."
My first reaction was to feel absolutely indignant. That's just not true! So many women are happy with the way they look. Not everyone buys into the premise that thinner = better. So I started talking to brides, with this scorn in mind. Sure, I'd wanted to look thinner myself, but that had just been a whim based on cultural pressure. I'd got over it. I was happy with my size.
I soon found out I was in a minority. I decided to talk to a sample group of about 15 brides, some I know personally and some are readers of the blog. Some brides looked at me as if I were mad for asking the question, answering "of course, doesn't everyone want to look thinner?" Some brides got offended at my insistence that thin wasn't better: "who are you to tell me that I look great as I am?" Some brides were slightly apologetic about their feelings, and felt embarrassed that they wanted to look thinner but said they couldn't help it. When I asked brides why it was that they wanted to lose weight for their wedding, the unanimous answer was that they wanted to look their best.
I'm going to put this out there: no bride, no matter what their size, should be under pressure to lose weight for their big day. If you have curves, and you're usually perfectly fine with them, then that's part of who you are. If you want to lose weight in general, then that's your personal choice. Nobody should pressure you either way. If there's one thing I've learned from talking to these wonderful women it's that weight is a hugely personal issue – but somewhere along the line we all let outside influences change how we feel about our bodies.
Is thinner better?
If you're not stick thin for your wedding day, it doesn't make you "not good enough" in any way. I've also seen many brides lose a lot of weight and wish they hadn't – because they didn't feel like themselves. Being stick thin doesn't suit everyone. If you're reading this blog, chances are you wouldn't change the way your wedding looked because everyone else's looked a certain way. But even the most staunchly individual brides I've come across seem to think that it's a universal truth: thin is better.
I'm not here to judge. As I said, weight is personal – and you should be happy with how you look and feel on your wedding day.
Ladies, I'm not here to make you feel bad if losing weight is what you want to do. I'm here to ask you one thing: challenge yourself. Could it be that you want to lose weight because you've been told it's the "normal" thing to do? Is it because magazines talk about diets like they're expected components of the wedding ? Is it because all your friends are doing it?
Then look at yourself in the mirror. Would being smaller suit you? Do you really want to change your figure or do you think that thin is better? And, the crux of the issue, why do you think that being thin is better?
Don't answer those questions for me: answer them for yourself. That's the only way you can know if you're trying to lose weight for you or because you feel you "should".
So does every bride want to be thinner? Probably not. But lots do – and not because being thinner is automatically the ideal state, but because they are being told, subliminally and otherwise, that losing weight is what they need to do. I say break the mould. If you're happy with the way you look, then that shouldn't change because of one day of your life.
Do you feel under pressure to lose weight for your wedding day? Do you feel strongly that you should lose weight? Did you lose weight and then regret it? We'd love to hear from you!

The Intricacies of the Adult "Friend Zone"
No, I'm not talking about that kind of Friend Zone.
I'm talking about the different kind of friends one has when he/she reaches a certain age, as well as its complexities.
I came across this article, The Challenge of Making Friends as an Adult, and I found myself nodding and "Mm-hmm"-ing every now and then while reading it. Basically, it tackled how difficult it is to make friends and keep them in this age of social networking, varying life stages, intense stress at work, changing priorities, what have you.
Here's one snippet from the article that got me nodding:
"In your 30s and 40s, plenty of new people enter your life, through work, children's play dates and, of course, Facebook. But actual close friends — the kind you make in college, the kind you call in a crisis — those are in shorter supply."This is true, to a certain extent. Over the past few years, there've been people in my life who came and went. People with whom I've had lots of memories and fun times, but who've seemed to move on because of unforeseen circumstances and different priorities. And I don't resent them for that. Because I, too, may have unknowingly pulled away from some people because of my own circumstances. Things like these happen.
It's a tricky business, being part of this generation, in particular. When my mom was my age, she was married and already had two kids (yours truly, followed by my brother Chuck). In those days, getting married at 28 was seen as a no-no. 25 was a suitable age.
Today, now that most of us are 30 (or are at least turning 29 by now), some of my high school and college batchmates are already married and/or have kids. A number of them are in stable relationships. Then there's that other percentage of still-single career men and women. I'm in that group.
Given all these, it's no wonder that our former sets of high school and college (and, in my case, church) cliques have evolved considerably. The new mommies are starting to reach out to fellow mommies, hoping to get tips on how to make their babies sleep straight, etc. The newlyweds and just-got-engaged's start interacting with people in the same situation so they can pass on tips about the best wedding photographers in the metro with the best rates, etc. Then there are the single ones like myself who discuss the perils of working overtime on weekdays and make plans for Saturday nights out.
"No matter how many friends you make, a sense of fatalism can creep in: the period for making B.F.F.'s, the way you did in your teens or early 20s, is pretty much over. It's time to resign yourself to situational friends: K.O.F.'s (kind of friends) — for now."I think we all have K.O.F.'s now, come to think of it. The people you run to when you need someone to watch a movie with; the ones who give you advice about something your friends-from-forever can't relate with; or those from your line of work or gym/fitness regimen who know what you're feeling. Because your former B.F.F.'s, while still in the picture, aren't and can't always be there for you. And even if they are, you may not necessarily be on the same page when it comes to life stages or situations.
And so you hang and interact with your K.O.F.'s now, adding to your list of memories that complement those created with your B.F.F.'s. All is well and good, while a part of you may feel a sense of displacement, if there such a term. That sense of wondering how long this will last, but in the meantime, you cherish it anyway. You love it, even.
What I'm realizing now, though, is that your K.O.F.'s are nice to have in good times; maybe even in bad times. But when the going really gets tough, that's when your true friends will step in. Even if you're unable to understand each other as well as you once did when you were younger; even if you don't see each other on a regular basis; even if you might have drifted apart from each other.
Your true friends, those who transcend the term "B.F.F.", those who'll always have you in their hearts, will find a way back to you. Despite differences in life stages, despite marching to different drum beats nowadays.
I'm thankful for the fact that I know who mine are.
I'm thankful to be part of their lives, too.

Kahit dati, nung bata pako, medyo picky na ako pagdating sa pagpipili ng friends. Ngayon, actually, hindi masyado. Gusto ko kasi masurprise. At nagwork naman. I've met a couple of people who I believe will turn out to be friends for life.ReplyDelete
Pero totoo, mahirap din gumawa ng bagong kaibigan, lalo na itong age natin. Most of the time kasi, alam na natin ang gusto natin, may conscious effort na ng crticism nung ibang tao.
Pero ang napansin ko naman, extreme and results. Either magkasundong-magkasundo kayo o talagang hindi. Yun ang tuwang-tuwa ako kasi at least, dun man lang sa part na yun, pinadali na desisyon mo, hindi ka na mamomroblema pa.
Hi, Jaq!ReplyDelete
Ako din, namimili din ng mga kaibigan. Mga tunay na kaibigan. Siguro dahil "shy" din akong tao (baka hindi lang halata, hahaha) pero iilan lang talaga sa mga kaibigan ko ang true blue B.F.F.'s ko. LOL!
At least, kung magkaroon man ako ng mga K.O.F.'s, hindi ako masasaktan kung umalis na lang sila bigla. Kasi alam ko nandyan lang naman ang mga B.F.F.'s ko, kahit matagal na kaming 'di nagkita. :)
Mahirap talaga ang tinatawag na "adult relationships", 'no? Ang dami na kasi life stages ngayon (i.e. married OR already a parent, in a relationship, single), 'di gaya ng panahon ng mga magulang natin dati. Lahat, halos, may pamilya na nung sila'y ka-edad natin. Kaya okay lang na i-maintain ang kaibigan nila mula college, high school... kahit grade school pa! Kasi pare-pareho ang mga kaganapan sa buhay nila bilang working dads/stay-at-home or career moms.

SSH In-Depth
No matter how long I am immersed in a particular technology, I find I can learn something new everyday. That is perhaps one of the joys of being a citizen of geekdom.
I came across Brian Hatch's piece at SecurityFocus.com that is the beginning of an in-depth series on SSH. Mr. Hatch starts perfectly with a rundown on SSH host keys, usage, verification and configuration techniques.
You can never read enough about security and though I know someone else coined the phrase "paranoia breeds confidence" – it is a great mantra when protecting customer and corporate assets.
Hatch's bio is quite nice, being the author of Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition among other publications.

Panama - home of hats, a canal, Canoe Man and a whole lotta music going on. In fact the building of the afore-mentioned canal attracted a workforce from all over Latin America and the Caribbean, and this is in part the background to the vibrant contents of this historical overview of the 60s and 70s. After a hard day's canal-building, workers would put on their music heads and groove the night away to the exotic sounds of cumbia-funk from the Exciters and the salacious Afro-calypso of Lord Cobra. 'I love you more than you ever know, in most of my letters I have told you so', he reveals in his stunningly quotidian but highly rhythmic account of separation entitled 'Love Letters'.
Legions of legendary Panananian names, unknown to the rest of the world and obscure even by domestic standards, are to be found here.

Memo from Wall Street
I found this on my favorite blog, Hullabaloo, but it comes from that well-known socialist rag, Barron's [that's sarcasm - Barron's is a business journal]. Below is just an excerpt, a good summary of what's gone wrong, but the full memo offers excellent, and still brief, specifics.
We on Wall Street feel somewhat compelled to take at least some responsibility. We used excessive leverage, failed to maintain adequate capital, engaged in reckless speculation, created new complex derivatives. We focused on short-term profits at the expense of sustainability. We not only undermined our own firms, we destabilized the financial sector and roiled the global economy, to boot. And we got huge bonuses.

Tampa, FL airport preps for second phase of $2.3B revamp
Dive Brief:
- The Hillsborough County (FL) Aviation Authority gave its official approval Thursday for the $543 million second phase of the $2.3 billion redevelopment of Tampa International Airport and the surrounding area, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
- This next piece of the airport's master plan will include the 17-acre "Gateway," a commercial project that will feature two hotels, an eight-story office building with 240,000 square feet of space, 20,000 square feet of retail and a gas station-convenience store. The HCAA will lease back some of the available office space, but a private developer will build, lease and manage the project.
- Real estate development components allow Tampa International and other airports with surplus land to establish new long-term revenue streams in an environment of limited funding options.
Dive Insight:
The HCAA unveiled its Gateway plan — which also includes a transit hub, widening the main road to the airport and adding an extra exit lane and an airport express drop-off — in April. At the time, the authority said it planned to finance the second of three phases through a 2018 bond issue and an increase in the per-passenger user fees that airlines pay.
Still ongoing is the $971 million first phase of the master plan, which features, retail, restaurants, a new people mover system and a 2.6-million-square-foot rental car facility. The $798 million third phase should begin in 2023 and will include construction of a 16-gate terminal that will serve both international and domestic traffic.
Tampa International is just one of several U.S. airports taking on massive modernization efforts. An Airports Council International—North America report released in March found that it would require $100 billion over the next five years to make the necessary improvements to the country's airports. On a per-year basis, the Airports Council International estimate adds up to double the funding that airports currently receive through user fees, grants and other revenue, and only certain types of projects qualify for the $3.35 billion the government doles out in federal Airport Improvement Program grants each year.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 13:40:40 -0500 From: Rod Prather <rodpr at iquest.net> Subject: HLT for a Brew Pot? Anyone who follows a certain path of logic will eventually come up with the same questions that have been asked before. Eventually, with enough answers, similar conclusions also. So I am sure this question has been raised, I just don't know the answer. For a home brew RIMS, why can't you use the HLT for the brew pot. One less pot, one less burner, less fabrication. In an RIMS where the mash is heated by a recirc coil in the HLT you could make a complete system with a single burner. The only real problem that I see is the cleaning measures required. If the coil were removable that would be minimal. Obviously, in a production situation this would put a crimp on the product flow but I don't see why you can't do it in a home situation.

The best time to adjust the pH would be pre-boil, to ensure that all pH-related effects are accounted for. However, chances are you will not need to add much if any acid due to the buffering ability of the wort. Only if the water you're adding is very alkaline would this probably be necessary. Check the pH before acidifying. - -- ***** Ken Schwartz El Paso, TX kenbob at elp.rr.com http://home.elp.rr.com/brewbeer Return to table of contents
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 16:04:55 -0500 From: Rod Prather <rodpr at iquest.net> Subject: Boy was I red: UPDATE. All hail HBD. Many of you responded to my question about an apparent alergic reaction to a beer I drank while still in ferment. I bottled it, bottle conditioned, let it set 5 days and tested the outcome. Well, it doesn't make me red anymore. It was probably due to something interrim in the fermentation process. Thanks to all who responded. Probably Fusel alcohols. In fact it is quite tasty for an extract beer. It resembles a porter. This is because it was made from 2 cans of 4 year old light malt extract that I found in my closet added to a pound or so of new amber DME to step up the ABV in a 5 gallon batch. The extract was very dark due to age, something I will never be able to duplcate precisely. With the exception of a bit too much mouth feel, this is probably the tastiest beer I have ever made. Largely, I feel, due to the hop balance which was more chance than knowledge. I'm going to call it U.N. Porter (though it isn't really and ale) because I mixed German Hallertau, Willamettes and American Tettnangs. O.G of 1.052 F.G. of 1.015. 1 1/4 oz of Willamettes at 60 minutes brew and 1/2 oz of Hallertau at 30 minutes. It had a total IBU of 30 but I added a tea steeped of 1/2 oz of hallertau at the beginning of fermentation which probably increased that slightly. I also added a 1/2 oz dry hop of American Tettnang plug at the end of 4 days fermentation. The dry hop stayed on the beer for 5 days until bottling. Yeast? Sorry guys, Coopers dry yeast, sure I broke the rules but it worked. I haven't progressed to Wyeast yet. Don't know that I will except maybe to make a Kolsch in the future in honor of Al K. and maybe a Belgian or two. Don't much care for Weiss or Hefe Weiss. Thanks to the knowledge base of HBD discussions I feel that I now have a solid basis for brewing principles.

Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 16:31:47 -0500 From: John Varady <rust1d at usa.net> Subject: SG rise from priming. Expected rise in SG from priming: My trusty Bottle Priming Calculator tells me that 5 gallons of beer at 60F contains 1.05 volumes of co2 already. To carbonate to 2.5 volumes, I need to prime with .2238 lbs (101.54 grams) of corn sugar or .1791 lbs (81.23 grams) of cane sugar. Using a specific gravity contribution of 1.037 for corn sugar and 1.046 for cane sugar; Corn Sugar : .2238 lbs X 37 points / 5 gallons = rise of 1.6565 points Cane Sugar : .1791 lbs X 46 points / 5 gallons = rise of 1.6475 points I just weighed 3/4 corn sugar at .3152 lbs (143 grams). This yields: .3152 lbs X 37 points / 5 gallons = rise of 2.333 points This would result in a carbonation level of 3.10 volumes in the 5 gallons of 60F beer we wish to prime. This is why it's better to weigh your priming sugar.

I also emailed Wyeast about the need to rousing. They said you don't need to, but that your FG should be a couple of points higher than usual. I was not happy with the results. I found the ale to be too sweet. Now, this was before I started aerating with an aeration stone, which has greatly helped my beers.

Author: Michael Murray, N.D.Source: How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine
Alpha-lipoic acid is a vitamin-like substance that is often described as "nature's perfect antioxidant". First of all, alpha-lipoic acid is a very small molecule that is efficiently absorbed and easily crosses cell membranes. Unlike vitamin E, which is primarily fat-soluble, and vitamin C, which is water-soluble, alpha-lipoic acid can quench either water- or fat-soluble free radicals both inside the cell and outside the intracellular spaces. Furthermore, alpha-lipoic acid extends the biochemical life of vitamin C and E as well as other antioxidants.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an approved drug in Germany for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. In fact, it has been successfully used in Germany for more than 30 years. The beneficial effects of alpha-lipoic acid in diabetic neuropathy have been confirmed in several double-blind studies at a dosage of 300 to 600 mg daily.1,2 Although alpha-lipoic acid's primary effect in improving neuropathy is thought to be the result of its antioxidant effects, it has also been shown to lead to an improvement in blood sugar metabolism, improve blood flow to peripheral nerves, and actually stimulate the regeneration of nerve fibers. Its ability to improve blood sugar metabolism is a result of its effects on glucose metabolism and an ability to increase insulin sensitivity. Its importance in treating diabetic neuropathy cannot be overstated.

It's the strangest thing but I've just discovered – well not really JUST – but discovered nonetheless that we are sometimes so chained to the idea of being melancholy that we can actually fear our awaiting happiness.
There really isn't anything new under the sun, and I know that someone else has already had the particular AHA! Moment, yet it is quite amazing to me that so many of us live in a perpetual state of waiting for the other shoe to fall.
A prime example is my relationship record. I don't love easily, but when I do love I love hard. As a result I have sat idly by and watched myself get taken advantage of, all in the name of L-O-V-E. There have been a couple of instances when I have overextended myself and taken the stories given to me to heart in order for me to give and give and give of my best, while I received crumbs in return. Nevertheless I pressed forward, sure and assured that the love was there and it would grow.
As we say in local parlance – SALT! That is what I was presented with in the end … salt. Recently, I took myself out of a particular equation and finally admitted that I was constantly being sucker punched. Therefore the decision was finally and clearly made that I needed to save ME. The one who was constantly showered with my affection, effort, understanding, absolution … this same one who gave nothing but fragments in return, has been set free to sit in his proverbial pile of filth … toxic baby mama and all … thereby freeing me to explore the other options that were being presented to me.
This is where it gets interesting. Not only was I being shown another way to be with and around a grown man who behaves like one and was and is showing me the interest and affection that one should expect, here I was … waiting for the other shoe to drop. I find myself looking for and hoping to find phantoms that would give justification to the way that I felt. There had to be something wrong hidden somewhere and I was going to find it dammit!
The sad thing is that I spent so much time looking for what wasn't there that I almost missed the boat completely. That's when it dawned that I needed to free myself from all of the paraphernalia of the past and allow myself to be free enough to accept my happiness and everything that goes with it.
It sounds like an insurmountable task … it also sound like some sort of twisted chicken soup for the soul, but it isn't. The key to this freedom is knowing that as a child of the Most High, happiness is a given. Worry is a learnt habit. We're not born to worry, but we gain the knowledge from those around us. Worry is particularly fascinating for the female of the species, but I digress.
Give yourself permission to laugh and smile and enjoy things genuinely.
The good things are all pre-ordained. The nasty little surprises along the way are the things that we manifest via worry, doubt and distrust.
Bless UP!

SEO Factors Worth Considering
Effective search engine optimization isn't rocket science. If you are intent on creating a solid website foundation and getting the basics done properly, then you do not have a reason for not getting good results. The intent of this article is to show how you can improve the ranking of your website with the search engines by doing the right things.
Help Your Business Succeed By Become A Master Of Advanced Search Engine Optimization Techniques If you have some experience running your own website, you probably already know how important it is to have your site ranked highly on SERPs. This article gives you some ways to optimize your site for search engines and to improve your overall ranking. You should know all about SEO before you start your journey. Websites are ranked by search engines based on proprietary algorithms. The goal of these tips is to show you how you can improve the ranking of your website by taking advantage of the equations used. There are many factors that a search engine considers when assessing and ranking your website. Search keywords that appear in the headings of pages on your site are of particular interest to them. In addition, search engines take into account how many visitors use your site. A rise in the rankings in the multitude of search engines out there isn't going to happen overnight. You must make the effort to have your site seen by search spiders. You can place keywords in your textual content to boost your website's relevancy to search engine spiders. Fill your website with appropriate keywords that will increase your ranking. Better search engine rankings for a website are not bought; website SEO is the safest bet. Although most search engines provide "sponsored" slots, these tend to be rather expensive. Purchasing one is beyond the grasp of most small business owners, and the results would be unlikely to justify the expense. Utilizing keywords and phrases is just one method that can help optimize your website. You can link to other sites, have sites link to your site and even link between pages on your own site to make your website more visible. Agreeing to exchange links with the other sites is a good way to get backlinks quickly in place. You must be able to bring interested consumers to your website, not just anyone. By using targeted advertising, you can ensure that your products will be seen and potentially purchased by the very people who need your product most. This is better than hoping incidental traffic will bring you profit. Find out what kind of keywords your target audience uses and include them in your content and titles. Another way to reach them is to advertise on websites that your target audience typically visits. It is important for every business to have its own website. This is particularly true for online businesses. In this case, having a website is necessary. Businesses must also take steps to ensure that their website is successful. After reading this article, you will be able to increase traffic to your site by making it easier to find. more..

Are you familiar with the term 'Dankookian'? It is an abbreviated form for a Dankook University student or simply someone with a connection to Dankook University. Su-buck(Starbucks) and Mac-nal(Mcdonald) are also terms used in modern times that are especially popular with teenagers and young adults in their 20s. Furthermore, people who do not understand these abbreviated slang-words are called as 'Ahjae', which essentially means middle-aged men. As such, the youth of today abbreviates almost every word that has more than three syllables and even some famous lines from popular films. In the past, these slang-words were used minimally, but have since evolved to a point where it is impossible to have a conversation without including the use of these terms in daily life.
The root of this abbreviated form of language stems from the internet, where people used it as a more efficient mode of chatting online. However, it has now become a big part of our daily lives, and is used not only on the internet, but in ordinary conversation. In the past, words were shortened, but people these days often communicate using Korean consonants, like 'ㅇㄱㄹㅇ', which means it's real, as well.
There are two reasons for the increased prevalence of abbreviated language. First of all, these shortened terms were used to develop a bond between those who used them. By using these abbreviated terms, like slang-words with friends, one would be proving their friendship by displaying a level of comfort and familiarity of language with one another. The predominate age groups that use abbreviated terms are teens and people in their 20s. Thus, people who are of a similar age can share a sense of harmony, heightening friendships through the use of slang that only their peers can understand.
Secondly, the rapid rise in abbreviated slang arguably reflects the rushed mentality of our younger generation. Korean society is rapidly transitioning, with our youth seeing a lot of changes in the past years. To adapt to the changing characteristics of society, people's behaviors and habits have changed accordingly. In particular, 20s are continuously absorbed in their studies and other extracurricular activities because of the difficulties they have finding a job. Consequently, they do not have a lot of leisure time for hobbies. Thus, their busy life is always pressed for time and this has affected their mindset, as well as their behavior.
However, a woman recently commented on a Korean TV show that she has experienced difficulties communicating with her friends due to the increased use of these abbreviated terms. As a result, some people have trouble holding virtual conversations with their friends via text messages or chats because of the use of terms that are often only understood by the senders. People have to ask for clarification because they are often unaware of these rapidly evolving abbreviations. Often times, people who use the terms are frustrated when they are repeatedly asked to explain their meaning. Therefore, there are some people in their 20s that have antipathy towards these abbreviated terms.
One characteristic of language is its ability to help people socialize together. Language is a promise that has been made that enables smooth communication to be possible, according to the needs of society. However, the excessive use of abbreviations has the possibility of promoting exclusive friendship, between a limited amount of users, which stands against the true purpose of language and communication.
Would you select for an abbreviated term for secondary comfort? Or would you give up promptness in favor of a more accurate expression of opinions? Although abbreviated terms began from a desire for prompt communication, as some people ignore the original goals and use it to promote friendship between themselves, it has caused a sense of alienation amongst people that do not use them and could lead to an even bigger problem, which is the destruction of language. Thus, we must thrive to have the right balance and seek to use abbreviated terms under suitable circumstances.

Well, according to this site, the Governor has now signed HB 2412 into law. This version of the statute of limitations makes substantive changes to the rights of creditors and debtors, and doesn't "clarify" anything; it changes those rights, in a way hostile to debtors and favorable to credit card companies. Previously, if there was a written contract, the statute of limitations was six years, and if no contract existed or was produced, the statute of limitations was three years on the "open account".

Ditto buddy! It was good to ride along with ya last week. I have missed that.
They just keep getting better. Larry and the Martin clan put on yet another terrific show at Lake Anna. Lost count of how many boats - 60 or 70 at least. A great cross section of young and old vets, young and old supporters, and folks who just wanted to hang out. Thanks for a terrific day on the water, Dirtman.
Practice - work travel took me to Richmond last TUES so I took advantage of proximity and used a few holiday hours the rest of the week for some time on Anna. The lake seems like it's in a bit of a funk. My guess is the turnover came late and in spurts (vice one steady process). Being 3' low isn't helping solve the puzzle (unless you live on the lake).
Saw 64* at launch on WED. Was down to 62* on THUR, 59* on FRI. The water from 208 bridge down is ~clear and often void of any sign of life. A few baitfish pods here and there but nothing like what I saw uplake and in the rivers (stained - maybe 2-3' of viz, baitfish everywhere). Water up in the rivers is 5-7 degrees cooler. I did not venture that far down but one of the anglers told me he fished in 64-65* water vic dike 3 yesterday.
Was all about ledges in practice - channel ledges, front face of rock formations, hard breaks on points. I didn't find a lot of fish but the few I did find were all hanging in 4-12' right on a break. Presence of bait was key in all locations. No bait, no fish. Crankbait produced the best fish (had a good one ~4.5 lbs on FRI), c-rig produced numbers. I had no (zero) bites on a jig all four days. Squarebill, spinnerbait, popper, and jerkbait also produced.
VDFT - teamed up w/ Bill Rysanek (USMC, ret) again for this one. We opted for the dirtier water and abundance of bait and headed up into the Pawmunkey arm. Was a cool start (21*). Took us a while to find the sweet spot but after about an hour or so we scored on our first keeper - a typical Lake Anna 1.5 lb fish that was hanging out in front of a rock pile. From there we bounced from rock pile to rock pile, picking up 2 more keeps along the way. Had two bad misses mixed in there. Fish slammed the c-rig and ran w/ it but I failed in the execution (again). In the early PM we motored down to the midlake area where we picked up keeper #4, again off of a rock pile. We finished the day w/ 4 cookie-cutter fish for 5.89.
Observations: 1) Huge schools of gizz and white bass all over in the uplake areas. The white bass made nuisances of the themselves tearing up our plastics. 2) Saw some surface feeding on THUR and FRI but none on SAT. The feeding activity we did see was small stripers. 4) Everything pulled back out of the skinny water after FRI nite's freeze. Even the panfish pulled back. 4-8' was the sweet spot on THUR. 10-12' was the sweet spot on SAT. 5) We did have a bit of a dock bite going on THUR and FRI. Docks w/ 8+' on the front were the ticket. Bass were holding off of the front pilings.
The fishing was fun but yesterday was really about sharing a day w/ my bros. Enjoyed visiting w/Macon and Erin on the way up. Fished w/ Jim W on WED, Lil Bit on THUR, and Bill on FRI and SAT. Doesn't get any better than that. Had a fun dinner w/ some of the VAO doodses FRI nite - Tim's never fails to impress.
Had a chance to visit w/ a couple of young soon-to-be Soldiers and Marines, young men waiting on their induction dates to come up. Very comforting knowing the security of our nation will soon be in the hands of such excellent young men and women.
Again, a huge thank you to the Martins. A lot of love and hard work goes into this event. It shows in everything y'all do.
Ditto buddy! It was good to ride along with ya last week. I have missed that.

Spot on 31! Great report. Rock piles with cranks was the ticket for us also Saturday. Maybe a little shallower though. Bite was tough after 10:00. Good seeing you at the event!
2004 Fishers of Men VA-East Division Champions
Ditto Brian on a fantastic event from the Martins 1st class. Our fish mostly came from 4-8' water on feeding fish chasing bait, or bait the was being pushed by loons. Was fun to watch and see.
