Essay writing demands inspiration
Essay writing skills can be vastly enhanced by regular practice. But practice not only makes perfect, it makes permanent so it is necessary to follow the right steps each time and form good habits. Here are some steps you should consistently take to write better essays.
If you are allowed to decide on your topic, brainstorm some ideas with current events in mind and see what you come up with. You may see an obvious first choice or a couple of topics may seem promising.
Look for information that can support the topic you are most likely going to choose. The topic that you can most thoroughly research in the time you have left should be the one you choose.
Given the topic and the information you are going to include in the essay, you should be able to create a basic outline. This will show where each point will go in relation to the others and the contents of each paragraph.
Your introduction lets the reader know what your essay intends to achieve. Once you understand the topic well enough you should have no trouble introducing it. Make sure that your thesis statement adequately covers the focus of the essay.
The body of the essay would have been dealt with in summary form when you created the outline. At this stage you would write it out in full to include all relevant supporting evidence. If any points seem significantly weaker at this stage, consider omitting them.
The only element missing form the essay at this point would be your conclusion. This gives you a chance to wrap up any loose ends and reinforce the major points of the essay. Take care not to accidentally introduce any new points at this stage. If a point needs to be made, confine it to the essay's body.
Your complete essay needs to be thoroughly checked over at this stage. There may be grammatical errors or unfortunate style choices that reduce the overall efficacy of your writing. You can either do this part on your own or ask for assistance form someone who is experienced in it.
By practicing these steps over and over you can develop a habit of competent essay writing.

I currently don't have a lot of patience with the point-and-click adventure genre, particularly when the art is as detailed and gorgeous as this game. A world rich in intangibles (art, sound, music) just emphasizes how poor it is in tangibles: objects and interactions. So I have a very low threshold before I start looking for a walkthrough, because the puzzles seem arbitrary exercises in clicking.
For example, at one point in the game I knew I needed a lens. I was in a greenhouse, and the greenhouse window was depicted as cracked and shattered. Could I break off a piece of glass and try to use that? No. Instead, a pre-built lens was hiding in a location that made no sense. Determining which objects in the scene you can actually pick up or interact with seems purely trial-and-error. I realize a puzzle with plenty of red herrings might be even more frustrating--- but that's sort of my point. If I can think of a solution to the puzzle that is physically feasible given the parts on-screen, I should at least be able to try it instead of hunting around for the sole object I can actually pick up and use. Solutions that are of the form "you can slide down this pole, but not any of the other architectural features" aren't really fair to the player.
I managed to mostly enjoy the game, anyway--- there were enough "aha" moments to keep me interested, and the logic mini-games were fun enough. It's cute, and for all my grumping about the nature of the puzzles, the solutions to several of them were neatly hinted at in the environment or animations. On the other hand, if I'd realized that my goal was saving the local monarch, I might not have been as motivated in keeping the bomb from blowing up. (And what was the reward? Exile.)

City of Calgary
The Calgary census reflects stories of our lives
A census is a tool of numbers, and yet, our Calgary census tells us stories of our human condition -- our struggles and dreams; our new lives and sad deaths; our striving for success -- even, some years, our love for pets.
Hopes for a better life have brought people to Calgary for decades, causing our population to grow almost every year.
But our city isn't immune to struggles, as we've seen since the price of oil started falling. Calgary's 2016 census last year revealed that thousands more people left the city than moved in.
That's not the case any longer. The recent.y released 2017 Civic Census shows a modest, but increase in net migration of 974 people. Along with the natural increase increase of 10,192 (birth minus deaths), that brings the total count to 1,246,337.
Planning for success
The City uses its annual census as an input to gauge demand for City services and plan for things like recreation facilities, fire halls and development of available land for housing. The City also uses it to establish per capita grants from other orders of government.
The best possible planning is so important to our growing city that The City created Action Plan 2015-2018 using input from citizens, City Council and City staff. The plan sets Calgary's future direction and determines the right balance between investing in quality public service and keeping property tax rates affordable.
Part of Action Plan 2015-2018 includes making annual adjustments to plans for City capital projects, programs, services and facilities, and to taxes, utility rates and user fees. Annual adjustments allow The City to respond to emerging economic, demographic or financial events and unexpected issues.
In the early years of the plan implementation, the challenge was how to best cope with rapid growth.
When the plan was being created in 2014, Calgary's population was 1,195,194, a leap of 38,508 from the year before. The average increase from 2011 to 2013 was 28,390. Considering these numbers and other data, the Action Plan team estimated, seemingly conservatively, that the population would grow by 100,000 people from 2015 to 2018.
And then oil prices started falling. By Dec. 8, 2014, the price of oil had dropped to $70 a barrel from $115 a barrel in June the same year. The price kept falling and many Calgarians started to be affected by Calgary's resulting economic downturn. The City responded by early 2015 with several initiatives.
Even though the 2015 census, released in mid-2015, showed Calgary's population grew by 35,721 to 1,230,915, Calgary's economy was clearly continuing to suffer. The City responded further with changes to the tax rate and various fees, and identified initiatives to help citizens.
When the results of the 2016 census were released, the numbers revealed just how badly our city had been ravaged by the precipitous drop in the price of oil. The city had grown by a mere 4,256 people and only because there were more births than deaths. We saw 6,527 more people leave the city than arrive.
In response to the continuing economic downturn, City Council approved the 2017 municipal property effective tax rate increase of zero per cent on April 10 this year. Last year, Council cut the 2017 property tax rate to 1.5 per cent from 4.7 per cent. Councillors then decided to provide a 1.5 per cent rebate to cut the effective rate increase to zero.
Council also approved fee relief, one-time initiatives such as allowing greater access to affordable housing, and strategic investments to stimulate Calgary's economy.
The population growth shown in the most recent 2017 census suggests that there is cause for cautious optimism.
Glimpse of the future, helps us to plan
While the most anticipated question that comes with the census results is "What is Calgary's latest population?" the census data is important to those who need it for planning purposes.
The value of an annual census is that it helps The City to be more responsive to citizens' needs, said Paul Denys, The City's manager of Election and Census.
The annual census allows The City of Calgary to use accurate population numbers to corroborate economic conditions and citizen feedback, which influence how The City allocates millions of dollars for services such as roads, transit, police and fire protection, recreation and utility services for our almost 1.25 million citizens. School boards also use the census data to determine their needs for such things as transportation and future schools.
Many jurisdictions don't have annual censuses, but The City decided in 1958 that collecting data every year gave our city more advantages than a census done every few years, which it had been doing since its first in 1931. Because our population is almost always growing and because provincial and federal limited grants are calculated on a per capita basis using the population count from an official census, we receive more grant money by reporting fresh data than having the grants based on numbers from the federal census, which is conducted every five years, according to City of Calgary's Civic Census Policy Nov. 7, 1984.
Tough years stand out in Calgary's history of growth
Among years of steady and sometimes impressive population growth, four years stand out like scars, one of them being 2016. In 1983, Calgary's population dropped by 2,441 people and in 1984 by 878 people. During those years, Canada's National Energy Policy, which took oil wealth out of Alberta, was in effect, and the world was mired in recession.
In 1992, our population dropped by 853 people because of the recession in the early 1990s.
Calgary's 2010 census revealed the aftershock we felt from the 2008 financial crisis. Our population grew by just 6,060 people in 2010 after averaging an annual growth of 26,392 people from 2005 to 2009. Our population in 2016 grew by just 4,256 people after averaging an annual growth of 31,880 people from 2011 and 2015.
The 2010 growth slump was underscored by a net migration of -4,154 people, that is, more people moved out of Calgary than moved in. The population increased only because of births.
New life persists
While Calgary's net migration varies widely year to year, our natural increase, the excess of births over deaths, is fairly steady with numbers since 1993 ranging from a low of 7,028 in 1996 to a high of 8,927 in 2004. Between 2006 and 2017, the natural increase ranged from a low of 9,631 in 2012 and a high of 10,812 in 2015.
Ward boundaries change this year
Eligible voters in Calgary will be looking at new ward boundaries that may impact who they vote for in the fall election of City councillors, mayor and school board trustees.
In fact, 58 communities are affected by new boundaries that will, in some cases, change where candidates campaign and where citizens vote, said Paul Denys, manager, Election and Census.
"We're facing the biggest changes to ward boundaries that we've had in 20 years," he said.
The City reviews ward boundaries and makes revisions when necessary to ensure there is a balance in the distribution of population among all 14 wards.
Fastest-growing communities
- Auburn Bay (1,870 additional residents)
- Evanston (1,621 additional residents)
- Legacy (1,560 additional residents)
- Nolan Hill (1,556 additional residents)
- Skyview Ranch (1,465 additional residents)
- Mahogany (1,444 additional residents)
- The Beltline (1,261 additional residents)
- Redstone (1,018 additional residents)
We're going high-tech with voter registration
For the first time in a Calgary municipal election, eligible voters were able to register online. Using a code received in the mail, voters could register and complete the city census online during April. For those who didn't complete their information online, census takers collected it when they went door to door in the traditional way.
More of us each year are counting ourselves in online
We've had the option to complete the annual census online since 2015 and more of us have been doing so every year since. This year, 177,698 households used the online system, a whopping increase from the just under 100,000 households the previous year.
"We always hope that citizens complete their census and try to offer a variety of convenient options to do so," Denys says.
Like last year, 900 census takers each equipped with iPads hit the streets, beginning in late April 22. While their routes don't change, they do have fewer houses to go to because they can see on their iPads which residents have already completed their census online. The increased use of online and electronic data collection and tabulation have helped control the cost of the annual census -- about $700,000.
The 2017 census is a base version that counts dwelling units and ownership, number of residents, school support and the number of eligible voters. Voter registration is included this year because it's an election year. As well, the school boards requested a count of pre-school aged children born between 2011 and 2017 to accurately plan for this new group of children.
Do we love our dogs twice as much as our cats?
There are some things we don't count every year. The 2016 Calgary census showed a count of pets, the first time that information was collected since 2010. The results? 135,070 dogs and 70,023 cats.
In contrast, the Canadian Animal Health Institute reported in 2015 there were seven million cats in Canada in 2014 and 6.4 million dogs.
While Calgary's historical counts of cats and dogs dating back to 1995 show the number of dogs and cats were almost the same, those numbers started to diverge dramatically in 2010 when the census counted 122,325 dogs and 91,551 cats.
Tara Lowes, superintendent, Administration & Shelter Services, says she's not sure why the numbers of cats have dropped.
"There could be a wide variety of reasons why the reported numbers are down," Lowes said. "The census doesn't give us this information and there's no way to follow up."
In 2006, The City merged the Animal Control Bylaw and Cat Control Bylaw into the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw, which requires dogs and cats to be licensed. Lowes said there are advantages to licensing animals, such as reuniting lost pets with their owners. In fact, Calgary is one of the few municipalities that will drive licensed animals home instead of taking them to the shelter.
The first time the animal is at large, we'll educate the owner about responsible pet ownership and possibly give a warning rather than a ticket for violating the bylaw, she said.
Last year, 466 cats of the 923 at the shelter were picked up by their owners while peace officers drove home about 59 cats that had identification. Out of the 2,172 licensed dogs that were picked up last year, 585 were driven home and 1,374 were returned to their owners from the shelter.
Calgary has the highest pet return rate and the lowest euthanasia rate in North America, said Lowes.
"We're seen as leaders in animal management."

THE hard, smooth coverings known as kilims (double-faced) are exported in large quantities from different parts of the East, and are of such thoroughly Oriental character as to entitle them to a prominent place in consideration; but their scope in the matter of execution is so limited, they follow type so closely, that there is no call, and indeed no latitude, for exhaustive discussion of them. In many respects there are no rugs made in the East which are more attractive than genuinely good kilims. There they have been employed as floor-coverings from the very earliest times; in America they are used for portieres and covers. The artistic skill shown in them consists in the novel adjustment of colors. So deft are the Eastern weavers in this that two rugs of the selfsame design, but with colors differently distributed, look utterly unlike, and will pass for altogether dissimilar conceits. The hues are broad and in some degree crude. The treatment is wholly rectilinear, but harmony and softness of effect are secured in most of the kilims by projecting a series of rectangular extensions from one body of color upon that adjoining, as in Daghestan, Soumak and other Caucasian piled rugs. This peculiar but most effective edging does not interfere in the least with the design. It is as complete as though its outlines were smooth and direct instead of being broken by such numberless serrations and indentations. Indeed, when it is considered how confusing these irregularities are, the skill of the designer and weaver seem magnified fourfold. To one unfamiliar with the fabrics the serration and diversification seem paramount. It is only when viewed from a distance, where the unity of the design may be seen and the softening effect of these notched edges understood, that the comprehensive beauty of the kilims is apparent. This singular factor, which rather engrosses attention at first, is only the skilful means to an end; but it accomplishes its mission so well that it seems to be the ruling motive of the fabric, and it creates in the kilims some subtle force of fascination which precludes their ever becoming wearisome.
And to heighten even further the efficacy of the square-notched edges, the weaver puts in at the end of each of the reciprocal projections a tiny patch or line of some third color, often woven into ornamental shapes. At first inspection this escapes the eye; it is only when one wonders how these uncomplimentary colors can join in such a restful ensemble that this fine device is discovered. The small patterns are usually outlined all about, in the same fashion and with the same purpose. It is doubtful if such an array of startling colors, in such large areas, could be combined in any other way without palling. The necessity for some such trick as this, in working out the kilims design and color scheme, suggests itself at once. In the first place, they are smooth-surface rugs, and so devoid of all the softening effects which naturally come from the use of pile. The yarn of which they are woven is twisted so that it is harder and more linen-like than any wool yarns used in the pile rugs, and makes, where entirely different colors are brought close to one another, the most severe line of demarcation. The method, or stitch, is calculated to emphasize this harshness.
It is probable, from the general character of the stuffs, that the kilims present more nearly the primitive fashion of weaving working out with weft-threads of different colors, by passing them around the warp, the patterns which in most Eastern fabrics are produced by knotting.
Sellers of rugs rarely go to the pains of distinguishing between the several varieties of kilims, and indeed it may be difficult to do so, save in the case of the Sehnas, which differ radically from all the rest. In everything except the difference of method they are exact reproductions of the Sehna piled rugs, and can be identified by the description given of the Sehnas under the head of Persian Fabrics. The designs and colors are the same, and in point of fineness they as far excel the other kilims as the Sehna piled products do the rugs of Karabagh or Shirvan.
Aside from them, nearly all the kilims offered for sale in America are comprised in four classes Kurdish, Shirvan, Merv, and Tekke or Karamanian. The Karamanian and sometimes the Kurdish are made in two sections and sewed together afterward. The discrepancy between the two sides, where parts of the pattern are supposed to unite at the seam, is greater or less, but rather adds to the interest in the fabric than detracts from it. The Kurdish kilims are made all through Kurdistan, but those from the Persian side of the border show more of finish. The Karamanians are mostly woven by Yuruks and Turkomans in the Sanjak of Tekke in old Cappadocia, along the plateaus of the Taurus. The population is mixed, but Turkomans predominate. Some kilims which bear the name Karamanian are also woven by Christian women in the towns.
The Kurdish and Karamanian kilims differ chiefly in point of coarseness. The Kurdish are finer. There are noticeable in both, and also, in a lesser measure, in the Sehnas, small open spaces at the edges of some figures, where one figure ends on a certain warpthread, and the adjoining one begins on the. next. The uniting stitches of a third color referred to above are omitted, and the multitude of open spaces thus left makes the design seem like a loose insertion. In the heavy pieces known as kis kilims, or winter spreads, these gaps are less frequent, the aim being to make the fabric as compact as possible.
The patterns are chiefly the geometrical ones of Turkestan and the Caucasus, but though some of the Persian and Arabic ornamental forms appear, all are worked out in a manner peculiar to themselves. Many seemingly intentional irregularities are found. Where, for example, some figure is to be repeated several times in white, it is woven once or twice in cotton, while all the rest are in wool; or where two or more small variegated patterns balance each other, and seem at first to be alike, examination shows that the weaver, evidently out of sheer caprice, has made some curious difference between them.
The border stripes are not, as a rule, the same all the way around the fabric, as is customary in most of the piled rugs. The stripe patterns across the ends are different from those along the sides, like those of most Turkoman rugs, and the rotation of colors is by no means regular. There is much latitude for the exercise of individual whim in the kilims, and the weavers avail themselves of it to the full.
In the Merv fabric the number of open spaces is reduced to a minimum. Instead of making the patterns rectangular, and ending on the perpendicular line of the warp, where a gap must be left or the additional labor of joining be incurred, the defining lines of the figure run diagonally, the projections are more pointed, the gap in the web is avoided, and the rug gains greatly in compactness.
In design these Merv kilims, some of which are of great size are not so startling as the Kurdish and Karamanian. The garish colors are few; the white is more sparingly applied. The field is usually divided transversely into three or four parts, by ornate line patterns. The designs strongly suggest the Beluchistan rugs in this regard. The high lights, as in the Beluchistan, are found in the border white lines, serrated, very pronounced, running sometimes the entire length of the fabric, with small geometrical devices worked in the angles.
The methods of weaving are much alike in all the kilims thus far named. The work is done with shuttles, on which the weftthreads are wound. By passing them the colors are carried in and out across the warp, making an even, corded surface, the "grain" of which is the warp itself. Whole figures of the pattern are woven separately. It is this that causes the open spaces between them. The Shirvan kilims follow in general the Daghestan idea of design.
The Persians have a kilim known as doru, woven in simple stripes all the way across the field. It is made in manner similar to that of the Kurdish and Karamanian. In Turkestan there is made what is known as the Bokhara kilim, which is an altogether different thing. A web is woven in the deep Bokhara red color; upon this is embroidered with thread and needle the characteristic Bokhara design. In Shirvan the same thing is done; all through Turkey, in fact, are made these djijims, following the rug patterns in vogue in their respective localities. They resemble the kilims but little, and should properly be classed with the Baghdad portieres. Among the Kurds and Karamanians, but rarely among the Persians or the people of Merv" the kilims are woven in the form of prayer rugs. The niche in the Karamanian and Kurdish prayer kilims is patterned after the Ghiordes.
Kilims have of late been extensively made in Serbia, Bosnia, Bulgaria and other parts of Turkey in Europe.
In many parts of the Orient a fabric called tzoul or tzul is made of coarse wool or goat's-hair and in the kilim stitch, but with no effort at design, except in some cases stripes of the several natural shades of the hair. It is strong, durable and sometimes waterproof. It is the burlaps, the tent-canvas, the horse-blanket, the grain-sack, the traveling-bag in short, the universal handy wrapping material of the East. It is also used as a filling on floors, and the gay-colored rugs are placed upon it, gaining in brightness by contrast with its dull shades. Among the Karamanians in eastern Anatolia it is customary to work some lively designs upon these tzouls with the needle.

Red Winter by Dan Smith
review by Maryom
After years of being at war, first against Germans then against the White rebels seeking to over throw the Communist revolution, Nikolai Levitsky has had enough of fighting. All he wants to do is go home and settle back down with his wife and family. But when he reaches his home village, he's in for a shock. The place is deserted apart from one old woman who talks about the village being ravaged by Koschei, a terrifying figure from old Russian folk tales. The men are discovered in the nearby forest, horribly mutilated. The women and children are gone - taken away by Koschei and his men - and Nikolai can only follow the trail and hope to find his family still alive at the end of it. But Nikolai himself is being pursued and it soon emerges that his desire to be home with his family isn't as simple and straightforward as the reader's been led to believe.
Red Winter is a gripping historical thriller, set in a time and place familiar to readers of Dr Zhivago - the civil war period just after the first world war, when Russia was torn apart by the various factions fighting for supremacy. Armed units roam the countryside arbitrarily enforcing their version of the law and it's safest to trust no one, as even old friends may turn you in to save their own skin. Against this backdrop move Koschei and his men, leaving devastation and emptiness in their wake - and Nikolai follows.
This is definitely the sort of book that once started is difficult if not impossible to put down. There's a creepy feeling of menace from the very beginning, such that I'd almost expected something more supernatural - but to be honest, with such people around as Koschei, who would need supernatural horrors?
It isn't a book of all out and out violence, though. On his journey through the beginnings of winter, Nikolai encounters people who share his frustration at the seemingly endless war; some looking for a safe place to hole up while the violence wears itself out; others out on their own quests for revenge. Nikolai himself is a complex, flawed hero, but one for whom I felt a lot of sympathy. Once full of ideals but now finding they've let him down, he's almost as much at war with himself as his country is.
This is the first Dan Smith thriller I've read - I actually won it in a competition hosted on The Little Reader Library blog - but I'll be on the look out for more.

Did Harley-Davidson Convince the Feds to Fake a Major Safety Report?
If regulators had followed through with a plan to mandate antilock brakes on motorcycles, nearly 10,000 deaths would have been prevented over the last six years
The U.S government's transportation regulators are supposed to ensure that automakers and other manufacturers sell vehicles that are safe for the nation's roads. Today, as we begin turning control of many of those vehicles over to artificial intelligence, these officials are more important than ever. For drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, they now form the last line of defense against injury or death.
Unfortunately, the federal agencies that oversee transportation companies have always had a thoroughly lousy reputation when it comes to playing by the rules. Chief among them is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a division of the Department of Transportation that consumer advocate Ralph Nader once called "a consulting agency to the auto companies." NHTSA officials have been criticized in more recent years for halfhearted investigations into Chrysler's fuel-tank fires (75 deaths), Toyota's acceleration problems (89 deaths), and GM's airbag failures (303 deaths).
When it comes to the number of lives hanging in the balance, these issues pale in comparison to motorcycle antilock brake systems (ABS). The technology works much like antilock brake systems in cars: When motorcyclists slam on the brakes during an emergency stop, it prevents wheel lockup, which can be deadly on a two-wheeler. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), motorcycle ABS would save roughly 1,500 Americans per year if it were made mandatory, the same number of motorcyclists whose lives would be spared if all of them wore helmets consistently.
For a while, NHTSA appeared to agree: After conducting a decade's worth of pro-ABS research, the agency announced in 2009 that it would likely issue a nationwide mandate on the technology sometime within the following two years.
That mandate never happened. In 2010, NHTSA shocked even its harshest critics when it issued a mysterious final report killing the effort. Though it offered scant evidence, that 10-page report boldly concluded that motorcycle ABS provides riders with no significant safety benefits. NHTSA then scrapped its plans for the mandate and appears to have abandoned its study of the technology altogether.
If NHTSA ever reveals what went into its final report, the public might get a glimpse of what the agency's critics point to as its biggest problem: coziness with lobbyists hired by car and motorcycle manufacturers, many of whom once worked as government regulators themselves.
I am a motorcycle-safety blogger and have ridden an ABS-equipped Honda ST1300 since 2007. I recommend the technology to other riders as enthusiastically as I do helmets, because evidence shows it's just as effective at saving lives.
The American motorcycle industry disagrees, at least publicly. Harley-Davidson and other manufacturers often bundle ABS along with other "luxury" features as part of an optional upgrade, and they mark its cost up steeply. A nationwide mandate on the technology would save lives, but it would kill one of the industry's biggest cash cows.
I started chasing this story seven years ago, when I first wrote about an Oklahoma State University study that the American motorcycle industry set out to fund. NHTSA had begun conducting its own studies of motorcycle ABS in 2002 (research that drew objections from both Harley and a riders' group supported by the company), and all of them showed the technology's promise.
Though the rest of the domestic motorcycle industry probably lent a hand, Harley's fingerprints were all over OSU's study. It was called for by a provision Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe inserted into the same 2006 transportation bill that funded Alaska's infamous "Bridge to Nowhere." Inhofe was probably eager to please Harley; the manufacturer had recently hired a high-powered Washington lobbying firm that was one of his biggest financial contributors, and it was an opportunity to send some lucrative work to a university in his home state. Along with the new study, the bill also called for the creation of a "motorcyclist advisory council" to advise the Department of Transportation on matters related to motorcycle safety. It wound up packed with lobbyists from organizations Harley had long funded and representatives from groups that had already denounced motorcycle ABS.
OSU's researchers ultimately left motorcycles with ABS out of their study, ensuring inconclusive findings when it came to the technology. I had no idea how far the opponents of ABS would eventually go, though.
When it came to influencing NHTSA in the years the agency spent reviewing motorcycle ABS, Harley definitely had an inside track. A quick review of lobbyists hired by the company during that time period shows just how deep the Washington, D.C. "swamp," as critics call it, has become.
Harley retained the services of lobbyist Steven Palmer, who had once served as the Department of Transportation's assistant secretary for government affairs. His firm also employed Simon Gros, who left his lobby practice for the same transportation position that Palmer had once occupied. Former NHTSA Chief Counsel Paul Jackson Rice worked at a different lobbying firm that trafficked ABS material between Harley and the agency, and another former NHTSA chief counsel, Jacqueline Glassman, handled regulatory relations for a law firm retained by the company. (Glassman would later appear in a scathing article in The New York Times about Washington's "well-established migration from regulator to the regulated.") Lawyer Kirk Van Tine actually went through the revolving door twice: He left a law firm hired by Harley in order to serve as the Department of Transportation's deputy secretary, and later returned to that that same firm to manage federal lobbying for its clients.
As it turns out, Harley's influence may have even found its way into President Obama's cabinet. Ray LaHood, the secretary of transportation at the time, eventually left public service for a lobbying job at a firm that has defended the manufacturer in major products-liability litigation.
As impressive as its collection of lobbying talent was, Harley didn't have to rely solely upon former public officials to make sure regulations went its way. One of the other key players appears to have been Kathy Van Kleeck, the longtime head of government relations for the Motorcycle Industry Council, the American motorcycle industry's leading trade association. Van Kleeck was also a member of the advisory board that was put together when the OSU study launched, and she was one of the few people on the line in a high-level NHTSA conference call on motorcycle brakes within days of the agency's announcement that it would consider mandating ABS.
A year later, NHTSA abruptly reversed course by issuing its final ABS report, concluding the technology made motorcyclists no safer. The mandate was cancelled, a decade of costly research supporting ABS was rendered pointless, and more than a thousand Americans would continue to die every year in preventable accidents.
The insurance industry has to pay claims related to motorcycle accidents, and it quickly attacked NHTSA's final ABS report as "flawed," arguing it did nothing to refute "earlier studies showing the benefits of antilock brakes." The same insurance-industry group that found 1,500 U.S. riders would be saved by ABS every year officially petitioned NHTSA to reinstate its planned mandate, but regulators have yet to take action.
A few months after NHTSA shut down its ABS research, the agency staffer who signed her name to the final ABS report left public service — but not for a lucrative lobbying job, like so many of her associates. Ironically, she now works with a nonprofit group that is calling for a global mandate on motorcycle ABS in the name of public safety.
Earlier this year, NHTSA made another surprising move. It announced it was opening an investigation into Harley in connection with a rash of consumer complaints related to ABS-equipped bikes the company made during the same time period the agency was waffling on the issue.
Did Harley fight mandatory ABS for reasons other than simple corporate greed? Did it lobby the government because it knew its technology wasn't working correctly? Is NHTSA simply trying to cover up for its past failures, now that it's under different management?
I might know the answers to these questions if NHTSA would obey federal law governing the release of public documents. I've sent multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to NHTSA in connection with the agency's final ABS report and other issues, but it has yet to send me a single document. Everything cited here came from the agency's superiors at the Department of Transportation or was already available online.
If there was a corporate power-play behind NHTSA's failure to protect thousands of American motorcyclists, then its bureaucrats are doing everything they can to keep that story quiet.

Aaron Booth
Our Last Escape CD
Since the release of the college radio top-ten hit TRANSPARENT in June 2002, Aaron has toured Canada twice with members of Snailhouse, The Weakerthans, and The Arcade Fire backing him up. OUR LAST ESCAPE was recorded with Dave Draves (producer of KATHLEEN EDWARDS and JULIE DOIRON) at Little Bullhorn, Ottawa with the supporting cast of Jeremy Gara (Kepler, Weights And Measures) on drums, Mike Shultz on trombone, and Mike Feuerstack (snailhouse) on lapsteel. In contrast to Transparent, it focuses less on folk melancholia and more on pop melodia. With Aaron's own contributions of vocals, guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, and vibraphone OUR LAST ESCAPE finds the artist at the height of his songwriting prowess and boasts the kind of confidence only constant touring can bring. With a long history of bedroom recording, Aaron writes, arranges, performs and records his songs at home before entering the studio to create the final versions of his album tracks. Aaron has shared stages with Richard Buckner, John Frusciante, Carolyn Mark, Veda Hille, The Sadies, Julie Doiron and his live band has included members of The Weakerthans, Kepler, The Arcade Fire and Snailhouse. Fall Over Me Satellite, track 2 of OLE will appear on the Party Of Five, Season 1 DVD.

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett bows to pressure from the Tea Party "birther" movement and warns that he may keep President Barack Obama off Arizona's ballot.
"This is just blatant political pandering," House Minority Leader Chad Campbell, D-Phoenix (District 14), said. "He is jeopardizing the integrity of our election system to appease a fringe movement."
Bennett, who established an exploratory committee for the 2014 Arizona gubernatorial race, is joining the ranks of Tea Party "birthers." In a recent radio interview, he admitted that he is considering keeping Obama off the Arizona ballot.
Bennett said that he has asked Hawaiian officials to verify the information in Obama's birth certificate after being pressured by members of the "birther" movement. If he does not get the response from Hawaiian officials he wants, he said it is possible Obama will not be included on the Arizona ballot. The White House released a copy of the birth certificate last year and it remains on the White House website.
"The 'birther' movement has been resoundingly discredited time and time again. We've seen the president's birth certificate. There is no controversy. This is all part of an extremist Tea Party agenda that distracts from what we should all be focused on, creating jobs and improving education," Campbell said. "If this is how Mr. Bennett defines leadership, he is going to be in for a rude awakening in his future political pursuits. The people of Arizona want leaders who are focused on the real issues facing everyday Arizonans, not crackpot conspiracy theories. Arizonans deserve better."

Krauthammer: Likely to See NK Missile Shot Down Within Year
Charles Krauthammer said it is likely the United States will have shot down a North Korean missile within the next year.
Krauthammer said the increasing volatility of the North Korean leadership means the U.S. cannot stand by and watch like it has for 30 years.
He said that dictator Kim Jong-un is rapidly accelerating the country's nuclear program, and that the Trump administration will work to either hinder or end the threat.

You can log messages to Mixpanel to track your bot's usage and users over time. To do so:
- Log onto your account on Mixpanel
- Create a new project for your bot (optional)
- Go to your account settings (top right of page)
- Click "Projects"
- Find your project and copy the Token. Paste this into your bot's Advanced screen
Slack Incoming Webhook
If you simply want a running log of messages to your bot in a Slack channel, you can use a Slack Incoming Webhook integration.
- Create a new Slack app. You probably don't want to use one for an existing Dexter bot, just to avoid any confusion.
- In your Slack app's configuration page, go to Incoming Webhooks and turn them on
- Select the channel you want to post these messages to
- Copy the Webhook URL that Slack gives you into your bot's Advanced screen
Dashbot allows you to view and analyze advanced information about your bots: everything from top messages received to drop-off points in engagement.
We only support the following platforms on Dashbot: Facebook, Amazon Alexa, SMS, and Universal.For all other platforms not listed here, please select Universal when choosing your Dashbot platform.

Chatbase is another bot analytics option by Google, allowing bot builders the ability to understand what works to increase customer conversions, improve the bot's accuracy, and create a better user experience.
- Create a Chatbase account, go to My Bots, and Add a Bot on Chatbase
- After entering a name for your bot and choosing a country, copy Your API Key from Chatbase into your bot's Integrations screen under Chatbase
To get started and play around, it should be as easy as plopping in an API key into the Advanced config of your bot. Please note that in our experience, it may take a few hours for your actual messages to be reflected on Chatbase.
Intents for Bot Analytics
Intents can be set for each message and sent as attributes to Dashbot and Chatbase. By default, the intent is set to a combination of the user's current topic + the trigger they just hit.
We have special shortcodes that allow you to send custom intents:
Setting Intents
^intentSet(newIntent): Calling this will override the default intent (i.e. the topic name) in all logs. The system will continue to use this intent for EVERY log message until you call intentClear or until the topic changes.
^intentClear(): This forgets any custom intents you might've set and allows the system to continue to use the default topic name as your intent.
^unhandledCapture(isGlobal=true): Add this to any response (probably a catch-all) to flag it as an unhandled message on the platform. By default, the message this sends to the won't have an intent. If you pass false as the first argument, it will use the current intent instead.
Here's an example of these shortcodes in action:

Market analyst
A Market Analyst is one who collects and analyzes informations to measure bing and possible merchandise and service markets. It is their duty to place and supervise rivals and research market conditions or alterations in the industry that may impact gross revenues. Market analysis is a procedure as which involves looking at numerical informations and trying to spot forms or find likely future motion based on that information. Market analysis procedure expression at how monetary values within their specific sector are traveling, how the market as a whole is be givening, and what single events might impact the monetary values of stocks and trade goods they are merchandising in.
Expected monetary value of oil in 2012
Before I forecast the oil monetary value by 2012, we must look at the factors that affect the monetary value. Without taking them in consideration we can non travel in front.
Like others, monetary value of oil besides depends on basic rules of demand and supply. When the demand of oil is higher so supply, monetary value rises. If the supply is higher so the demand so monetary value lessenings.
It is acquiring more and more hard to happen beginnings and the hunt is going more expensive. Oil companies need to put a batch more in happening and presenting than they did in the yesteryear.
It seems really hard in falling of monetary value of oil in twosome of following old ages, and there is a possibility that it will increase in following two old ages. Now the inquiry sing supply, which comes across our head, is who controls it? and what will they make over the following two old ages. ?
Oil bring forthing states have some cardinal participants and the chief participants ( Based on the Volume of Oil Controlled USA, Russia, China and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) .
If we look at the Mission of OPEC it lets us see the influence all these states can hold and how it affects the oil monetary value:
OPEC Policy
OPEC seeks to make favourable oil monetary values for its members by delegating production quotas to its member states with the end of restricting the supply of petroleum oil available on the universe market. The ability of the quota system to command monetary value has been questioned because of the well known leaning for OPEC members to bring forth beyond their assigned production degrees.
OPEC has influenced conditions in the crude oil market as purchasers and Sellerss await determinations taken at OPEC meetings, and supervise the establishment 's behaviour. At certain times in its history OPEC has had comparatively clear influence on oil monetary values, as in 1996, when a inundation of Saudi petroleum oil came on the market and drove down monetary values.
In response to recent monetary value additions, OPEC has maintained that a deficit of rough oil on the universe market is non the ground. OPEC has asserted that the market is good supplied, and its existent production has exceeded quota degrees.
Oil demand is predicted to go on to increase despite the high monetary value of oil. There are many beginnings of demand for oil. As states develop and industrialize their oil ingestion grows with their economic system. We can see that planetary oil ingestion has bounced good off until now. We often see fluctuation in the demand every twelvemonth or month in different provinces or states.
The demand of oil or ingestion of oil based merchandises increase when the economic system is strong and we can see a greater figure of demand for oil. The developed states in the universe surely have more affected towards the demand of oil instead so a underdeveloped state.
Population growing and denseness besides affect the demand of oil. We have experienced economic convulsion over the past 2 old ages in America and Europe therefore we would anticipate the demand to diminish and therefore the monetary value per barrel to besides diminish. An scrutiny of the monetary value statistics for this twelvemonth show great fluctuations in the monetary value runing from a depression of about $ 68/Barrel to a high of $ 88/Barrel.
The clime, the usage of alternate energy beginnings e.g. air current, atomic, bio fuels etc. and energy salvaging enterprises are other factors that will besides impact the demand.
Prognosis of oil:
My prognosis is hence based on demand increasing and cost of exploration/extraction increasing and I predict that the mean monetary value per barrel in 2012 will increase to $ 80/barrel.
The Price of Oil can change dramatically over the twelvemonth hence my anticipation is the mean monetary value per barrel for 2012 taking into history the factors described in the old subdivisions.
My logical thinking is as follow:
• The dollar will derive strength against other currencies during the ulterior portion of 2011 and 2012 this will impact the net income per barrel.
• New Fieldss are being explore and for certain its bing really high but if we look on other side, we can see that pull outing or taking out oil from those new Fieldss can take more so 2 old ages but OPEC and the other states do hold militias to get by with the higher demand.
• The economic system will turn stronger over the following two old ages so increase in industry demand can be seen.
• More occupation vacancies can be offered with the addition in industrial end product and hence more spending/travel by the population can ensue in more demand
• There is no indicant that a major struggle will take topographic point over the following two old ages and no addition in unrest, nevertheless planned troop backdown signifier current struggles is awaited. I do non see this will be a major factor.
• Although states are forcing frontward with alternate energy and fuels this is a comparatively slow procedure and will non cut down the demand significantly over the following two old ages – I would anticipate this to be a factor over the following 10 old ages.


text: So just today I started to feel worse. I keep coughing and my body aches. I just feel gross. I know that s not the best way to describe but I don't know what other word I can use. I was doing good, I was feeling good for over 2 weeks off of any antibiotic! For now I will just have to keep eating healthy, do plenty of treatments, and pray!!

It's not easy to be a good driver. I've been driving for decades, I've been behind the wheel of many, many different vehicles, and I'm constantly trying to figure out if my skills are up to snuff.
But it's even harder to be a good defensive driver.
You all know what defensive driving is: it's based on the notion that the roadways are inherently dangerous places and you as the mindful driver must be vigilant about threats, so that you can avoid trouble.
It used to be easier to embrace defensive driving. We had far fewer technological distractions in our cars, and vehicles were less isolating. You could feel the road, the engine, the brakes. The actual physics that you were exposed to — operating a shell of metal and glass, carrying a tankful of a highly explosive and flammable substance for fuel, hurtling down a freeway at 60 miles per hour — were in your face.
Advancements in the automobile, from noise-isolation to airbags, have made it easier to tune out.
But defensive driving hasn't gone away. Here are five good ways to get better at it.
Driving is visual — in fact, one of the most visually demanding activities a person can engage it.
You have in every modern car three mirrors. Use them obsessively. As you drive, your central focus should be on the road ahead of you, but you should also constantly scan your mirrors.
I try to retain a short-term mental picture of the activity around me. Where is that semi-truck? That pickup? That guy on the motorcycle? That dude who's running 20 miles over the speed limit? By doing this, you can file away your fellow motorists and their vehicle types and run a sort of background predictive algorithm so that you can manage your own on-road decision-making better.
I'm fortunate in that I get to sample a lot of different types of cars, trucks, and SUVs.
But as a result I'm also deeply aware of the capabilities of different vehicles. I'm not going to drive a Honda Accord the same way I would a Porsche 911 or Ferrari 488 GTB.
Your car is a package. The engine, transmissions, brakes, and tires combine to form a whole. If you have mass-market brakes and regular old radials, you shouldn't be blasting around like you have a trackworthy sports car that was engineered to go hard.
You should also be aware of the safety features that your car has on board. For example, a lot of newer vehicles will warn you of other vehicles on your flanks, let you know if you're nodding off, and then buzz the steering wheel if you're slipping out of your lane.
The number-one problem I see in everyday driving, particularly in the traffic-clogged Northeast, is tailgating.
On a highway, you want a lot of distance between you and the car in front on you. At highway speeds, you will need the space to execute evasive maneuvers to avoid an accident, or engage the anti-lock brakes in your cars to prevent rear-ending the vehicle ahead of you.
So how much space? I like at least a semi-truck length, which is about three car lengths. In stop-and-go traffic, where rear-ending is common, I sometimes keep at least a couple of car lengths between myself and the other guy.
I catch criticism for this, but I've also seen horrific accidents happen right in front of me on several occassions. I want a BIG margin for error.
The legendary race-car driver Jackie Stewart was a smoothness obsessive. His advice: Put a bowl of water on your dashboard. You should be able to drive around without spilling a drop.
I grew up in the pre-cupholder era, when if you wanted a drink in your car you had to learn to to drive in a way that wouldn't lead to spills.
You do this by finessing and caressing your ride. You don't punch it. You don't slam the brakes. You accelerate and decelerate in a smoothly linear fashion, and you keep your eyes on the road ahead to plan your decisions. You remain ever-aware of how hard your engine is running and what the road beneath your tires feels like. You minimize steering inputs (and you keep both hands on the wheel as often as possible). You float the car.
In a nutshell, you appreciate that you're engaged in a demanding cognitive and sensory experience, and you allow your body and mind to blend with the machine. You do this with a $100,000 sports car and $20,000 compact.
Modern cars have too much horsepower. This means that a budget A-to-B ride can crank up the speed to levels that would have impressed a race-car driver in the 1950s.
Hitting 65 mph is largely effortless.
Routinely exceeding the speed limit is another aggressive driving habit that I see all the time. Drivers weave in and out of traffic, running 20 or 30 miles over the limit.
They pass in all lanes, not just the far left passing lane.
Don't do this. If you want to get to your destination safely and on time, stay close to the posted limit (driving way too slowly, by the way, is just as dangerous), and strive to achieve a steady cruising speed on the highway.
Your fuel economy will be better, you'll inflict less wear on your brakes and tires, and you'll be far less likely to be responsible for a crash.

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I got a lot of projects done with my Great Adventures kit and I'm here to share two cards with you.
I loved the sticker on the card below so much that I decided to design the entire card around it. I layered the sticker on patterned paper and cut it out with scalloped scissors. I used pop dots to give it some dimension, and I stamped with a banner stamp from the add on. I added a tiny bit of bling to the rub on to complete this card.
The next card is really simple, but I love how it turned out. I wanted to use more of the brads from the Great Adventures Add On so I hand cut three hearts and used the brads to anchor the hearts. Once I attached them, I pulled the sides of the hearts up to make the card more dimensional. I stamped a sentiment to finish the card.
Don't forget that using your scraps to make cards is a frugal and handy way to keep cards on hand for special occasions! Heather

The 'mini' fad came and went, and these days we get quite a few 'Lite' smartphones that want to capitalize on the clout of the high-end devices that bear the same name. Xiaomi felt like doing practically the same thing this year, but using the Apple-inspired 'SE' moniker for the lowest-end model in its Mi 8 lineup.
That's not to say that the Mi 8 SE doesn't bring a lot to the table – and for an affordable price, which is something most people have come to associate with Xiaomi. So what's our verdict on it? Well, our full written review goes into all of the minute details. If you don't have a lot of time here's our six-minute video review that touches upon the most important aspects of Xiaomi's mid-ranger.
The phone has a very modern design with its notch above the great Super AMOLED display and the chin under it, as well as the vertically placed dual rear camera system. It's a very interesting handset because it's the first one to be powered by the still pretty new Snapdragon 710 SoC, which should start appearing inside more smartphones soon.
