Best 6 Countries to Retire As an Expat in 2013
The world's top retirement spot? In truth, it depends on you. There are many appealing options for a new life in retirement as an expat, as many people are now looking for ways to stretch their dollars. It makes sense, living expenses can be cheaper, cultural experiences richer and the lifestyle more satisfying as an expat.
The top retirement spots for 2013 have a variety of cultural offerings, climates, and lifestyles. Each destination is desirable in its own way, but they all offer something increasingly hard to come by at home: A good quality of life for a reasonable price.
Here is a guide to the best places to retire overseas in 2013:
1. Ecuador
Living on $1,600 a month including rent isn't unreasonable in a place like Cuenca, Ecuador. Buying a house or condo near the water could cost you less than a quarter of popular U.S. destinations of similar climate. When you make the move, Ecuador allows you to import your household goods duty-free, and with its new, simplified visa process, it's no wonder Ecuador tops the list as a best-value retirement paradise.
But for many, the true draw is the perfect climate. The nation lies on the equator. The beaches are tropical, but up in the Andes, the weather is mild and spring-like year-round. Best bonus yet, it's one of the best countries for an expat business start-up.
2. Panama
In Panama's capital city you can have all the U.S. comforts of a big city, including outstanding healthcare, restaurants, and daily activities. On a monthly budget of $1,700 to $2,500 a month you could eat out regularly, have a housekeeper come in a few times a week, and enjoy movie dates a few times a month.
Panama's major draw is its Pensionado (pensioner) visa, where qualified retirees achieve residence status fairly quickly. The program entitles visa holders to discounts on medical treatment, dining, movies, and more. Most expats in Panama regret they didn't come sooner, as many say they chose Panama for the friendly people…its rainforest…plentiful beaches and the choice of secluded or city living lifestyles.
In Panama it's possible to put a toe in the Pacific after breakfast and in the Atlantic before dinner…on the same day. There are cloud forests for bird watching, such as the resplendent quetzal, and even orchid gazing, all in the same weekend.
3. Malaysia
Malaysia is Asia's Panama. That is to say, this country is a regional and a global hub, for trade, for business, and for culture. Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country which attracts many tourists annually.
Penang, Malaysia offers expats an affordable living under $2,000 a month in what is considered "luxury housing" in the states. Here, an expat can eat out often and enjoy all the things the city has to offer along with top notch medical care at an affordable price.
Malaysian expats feel the country has everything. Its weather is a tropical 82 F all year round and its beaches, islands, and jungles are pristine. It has some of the region's best street food, great restaurants, bars, shopping malls, and movie theaters—and it's all affordable.
4. Mexico
Mexico's colorful and vibrant culture does rank high with expats who live here…look deeper and Mexico has much to offer. Mexico is an easy, convenient choice for many expats who are seeking a first-world country at bargain prices. No wonder a million or more expats make Mexico their home.
Today's Mexico offers modern highways and airports, cable and satellite TV, Internet, and many other items expats enjoy at home. Want your "big" U.S. lifestyle abroad, you'll get it in Mexico with an overall cost of living at about half of what you'd pay in the U.S. or Canada.
And one of Mexico's biggest pluses is its sheer size and variety. If you want beach, Mexico has thousands of miles of it—chic resorts, sleepy beach towns, and everything in between. Prefer cool, mountain scenery? Mexico has that, too. More likely than not, whatever you're looking for in a retirement destination you will find it in Mexico.
5. Costa Rica
Costa Rica is where you go to live the lush life. It is lush with nature—misty rain forests, extraordinary wildlife, active volcanoes, and fabulous beaches—as well as such comforting amenities as malls, supermarkets, restaurants, museums, and social clubs.
U.S. retirees have flocked here for years, drawn by its mild climate, prosperity, literacy rate, health care, and, significantly, stable government. Another plus: Costa Rica's commitment to a thriving natural park system that is second to none in Latin America. This is as biodiverse a country as you'll find anywhere. The country offers micro-climates, meaning you can fine-tune your weather by moving up and down the hills.
Though not the bargain it was a decade ago, Costa Rica continues to draw moderate-income retirees, who meet the country's requirement of income of $1,000 per month from Social Security or a pension. Best part, residence is easy enough that just about anybody can do it. Residents are eligible to join the universal health-care system, known as Caja. The cost, based on income, can be as low as $49 a month. After that, care is free.
6. Nicaragua
Want a budget-friendly retirement destination? Think Nicaragua. Geographically, the nation is blessed with two long coastlines and two big lakes, plus volcanoes, highlands, rain forest, and rivers. In this manner, it has everything Costa Rica and Panama have, but it's less discovered and developed and available to adventurers and eco-travelers at bargain rates.
Property values have fallen significantly in this country over the past several years, thanks to Ortega's re-election and then the global recession. As a result, you can buy one of Granada's classic Spanish-colonial haciendas for $50,000 or less. A couple could live comfortably in this city on a budget of $1,200 per month.
Best of all, its lower cost of living does not mean you have to sacrifice the quality of life, in fact, it's possible to live in Nicaragua with even more luxuries than you were accustomed to, simply because the prices are so low.
Retired Expat Communities
All these destinations have large expat communities, so doing your research can put you among other people like you; with similar interests. Learning a foreign language will probably be a requirement; but again if you have a sense of adventure, and don't want the typical cookie cutter retirement this could be something new and stimulating.

How difficult is it to move to Ecuador or Costa Rica without truly expatriating? My income is from retiring as a Federal employee, and as I understand it, I would lose it if I expatriated. I have a feeling most "expats" aren't *really* fully expatriated, anyway. Thank you!

World War Z Will be More Violent on Blu-ray Last weekend, the sinfully expensive PG-13 zombie action movie World War Z starring Brad Pitt was released in cinemas in the US and some other countries to some satisfying box office numbers. After all the trouble regarding re-shoots and production difficulties (see more details here), there still seems to be a chance that the film makes money in the end. Meanwhile, the info has emerged that practically the whole 3rd act of the film is new, which also means that a complete final battle set in Moscow was removed and replaced by something more subtle. But also before that, new scenes were included that are supposed to help the viewer to develop an emotional relationship with the characters instead of just consuming an action overkill from a distance. As director Marc Forster confirms in an interview with the German magazine Focus this week, the new version that came into cinemas is his Director's Cut. He obviously doesn't miss the big action scene at the end of the film. Although one should never rule out that it might end up in the bonus section of the future home video releases. But that is not all and now it gets exciting: Forster also confirms to Focus that World War Z will have a harder version on DVD/BD because the PG-13 rating in the US was a problem that limited the things they could show. And as one of our colleagues could already confirm, the theatrical version basically doesn't have any blood. That's unusual for a zombie movie but according to Forster, that is about to change once the DVD/BD gets released.

I really love this film -- Audrey's chic '60s fashion is at a high note (post-Breakfast at Tiffany's, pre-Two for the Road -- so there was an edginess to her look but it didn't seem unsuitable) and I find her chemistry with Peter O'Toole to be so entertaining to watch. The film takes place in Paris, and the scenery reveals as much, but the dry wit and humor is very much British. Please rent this movie if you like charming, amusing, romantic caper flicks (and really, who doesn't?), or at the very least record it on your DVR.

what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
A movie that I've been obsessing over as of late is William Wyler's "How to Steal a Million." This 1966 rom-com heist flick stars Audrey Hepburn (in full mod form) as Nicole Bonnet, the daughter of French art forger Charles Bonnet. They live in a world of luxury, with Nicole running around their mansion in Paris in custom-made Givenchy clothing and the father wandered about drinking champagne and wearing silk pajamas while he paints, but their lifestyle is threatened when a forged Cellini sculpture lent to a museum for tour is told it needs to be tested for authenticity before a one million dollar insurance can be granted on the piece. Nicole enlists the help of charming burglar Simon Dermott (Peter O'Toole) to help recover the piece before the museum figures out the truth (hence, how to steal a million).

Herman's Hideaway debuting new patio this weekend
Herman's Hideaway, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary and thirty years of live music this year, is debuting a new patio tonight at the Railbenders show. Mike Roth, the venue's co-owner, says they're still putting the finishing touches on the open-air patio, but it will be completely functional starting this weekend.
"We just wanted to build a place where people could go and have drinks," Roth says, "and have an alternative to just the main room. We're trying to make the place a little more dynamic, and get it open a little more. It's just unbelievable how much light comes in now and how much of an open space it is. It's all glass. Half of it's a glass garage door."
Roth says that removed the coat check and two booths that were being used as an overflow area for band equipment. There are also plans for a massive projection TV on the wall, as it's fourteen feet from ceiling to floor, and a fireplace.

St. Paul's Cathedral - What would Jesus do?
An article from Melanie Phillips reads:
The Guardian reports today: Desecration, defecation and substance abuse are among the issues St Paul's Cathedral has had to cope with because of the protest camp in its churchyard, according to legal documents filed by the City of London Corporation ahead of its attempt to evict activists from the area.
In a letter to the Corporation a cathedral official, Nicholas Cottam, has reported: '"Desecration: graffiti have been scratched and painted on to the great west doors of the cathedral, the chapter house door and most notably a sacrilegious message painted on to the restored pillars of the west portico.
"Human defecation has occurred in the west portico entrance and inside the cathedral on several occasions. Noisy interruption has occurred to spoken and sung Christian services, after repeated requests for quiet. Foul language has frequently been directed at cathedral staff. Noise has frequently carried into the cathedral to the extent that services have been difficult to sustain in any meaningful way." 'Cottam added that alcohol "and other stimulants" appeared to "fuel the noise levels day and night".
Now what has amused me greatly regarding this article is the fact that the St. Paul's Cathedral authorities are complaining of such anti-social behaviour and yet they were the same authorities who have refused to take action against the occupiers of the square. Frankly I cannot even begin to comprehend such reluctance to take action and yet they bitch about it in private.
Ms. Philips also points this out.
I wouldn't even use words such as hypocrisy for I rather expose these ecclesiastics for the cowards that they are. If they had been so concerned, then why dump the issue in the City of London corporation? Ah perhaps they want to show how much they "care" for the "poor". Only these people are not poor, they are middle class daddy's children who while camping in their smart tents and screaming their lungs out against Capitalism, think nothing of having a coffee in Starbucks, use their mobile phones and their laptops (complete with Israeli technology intel inside).
It is obvious the Church is not only incapable of defending itself against sacrilege, but will try their best to pass the hot potato to others in order to keep appearances.
This reminds me of one of the placards one protester was holding : "What would Jesus do?"
Ah now we are talking! Get my whip please!

Discuss research into the disruption of biological rhythms (eg shift work, jet lag). (8 marks + 16 marks)
Not a complete essay, still needs reworking but is unlikely to come up.
- Created by: Marco

First 579 words of the document:
Discuss research into the disruption of biological rhythms (eg shift work, jet lag).
(8 marks + 16 marks)
Rhythms such as the circadian sleep/wake cycle can be disrupted when people work shift patterns or
experience jet lag. The impact of the desynchronisation of internal chemical cycles, controlled by the
endogenous pacemakers, such as the SCN, and exogenous zeitgebers, such as light, can be far
Shift workers who are sleeping in the day and working at night are working against their natural
circadian cycle and have difficulties entraining their rhythms to fit with the environmental demands
because they usually suffer from sleep deprivation.
Research by Tilley and Wilson found that workers who have night shifts experience sleep during the
day which is on average 2 hours shorter with less REM sleep. Poor daytime sleep then makes it even
more difficult for shift workers to stay awake though the night, thus leading to other complications
such as higher stress levels and a weaker state because the body can't restore itself during the REM
sleep it misses.
To exemplify the effect that shift work has upon biological rhythms, Knutsson et al found a
relationship between shift work and organ disease. It was found that individuals who worked night
shifts for more than 15years were three times more likely to develop heart disease than non-shift
workers, suggesting that the disruption of biological rhythms can lead to various health implications.
There is much evidence to support the idea that shift work produces a range of negative effects on
the body, meaning that the findings of research into the impact of health and functioning are reliable.
However, the methodology of studies investigating the long term effect of shift work is flawed
because correlational methods are used which makes it difficult to establish whether the negative
effects of shift work are due to disrupting biological rhythms (a biological explanation), or an indirect
effect of the disruption of social routines and activities (psychological explanation) making cause &
effect hard to establish.
For instance, Solomon (1993) found that high divorce rates in shift workers might be due to the strain
of missing family events & deprived sleep, thus the resulting stress might have an impact on health
and functioning.
Another effect of shift working is decreased alertness shift workers often experience a circadian
trough of decreased alertness during their shifts; Boivin et al suggested it occurs between midnight
when cortisol levels are lowest and 4:00am when the body temperature is highest.
Research into the disruption is highly valuable as it has applications for reducing errors caused by
decreased alertness (such as the Chernobyl disaster); for example the use of artificial lighting to
re-set rhythms of shift workers. Boivin (1996) exposed participants to different intensities of lights
and was able to shift circadian rhythms by posing as exogenous zeitgebers, therefore light
intensities can be used in night-shift workers' work to increase alertness and health.
Alternatively, travelling across time zones can result in needing to sleep when the body is
experiencing the chemical cycles required for being awake (low melatonin) and vice versa.
Those experiencing the effects of jet lag are likely to find that their sleep/wake cycle is disrupted
and that other circadian cycles are desynchronised from the outside world.

This is discussion archived from a time before the current discussion method was installed.
Almost wrote this up as a Magical Cat Mascot entry. Opinions? I think if it was a specific Anime Trope, a cat would be a good example, but I think it pops up enough in American stuff I needed a neutral distinction. There's still a strong negative image of a cat being an outright jerk sometimes. I think The Hobbes would actually make a better term, but that may make people think it's about a potentially imaginary animal.
Looney Toons: I just took a look, and I think it's great. You're right, the Cat and Dog roles are so standardized that I don't even think they need their own pages, just references to this one. And no, The Hobbes would probably be better as some variety of The Harvey.
Dark Sasami: I don't get this entry at all. It purports to be about the Weasel Mascot, but then it defines the Dog and Cat mascot and gives examples of all of them mixed together. If this entry is about the Weasel, it should describe the Weasel; if it's about mascots in general, it should be Talking Animal.
In addition, I don't see the actual examples of dog and cat mascots lining up with what's described here. Luna from BSSM is very different from Artemis and Diana, and nothing like Deadpan Snarker Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service. And dogs? I can't think of a dog mascot in anime that isn't just a plain old dog.
- s5555 Isn't there Dog of Flanders? Geeze, some of these tropers knowledge banks can be quite shallow...

PFC Samantha Huff, United States Army
by Cordeiro
PFC Samantha Huff was a member of the Military Police Platoon attached to Major K's Batallion. She was killed when her vehicle hit an IED sometime last week.
She was, by all accounts, a good soldier, and a good woman. Her comrades in arms spoke very highly of her, as does her batallion commander. She was 19 years old.
Godspeed, Samantha.

Three decades later, Julia Alvarez, daughter of the Dominican Republic and author of the acclaimed How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, brings the Mirabal sisters back to life in this extraordinary novel. Each of the sisters speaks in her own voice. Beginning as young girls in the 1940s, their stories vary from hair ribbons to gun-running to prison torture. Their story is framed by their surviving sister, who tells her own tale of suffering and dedication to the memory of Las Mariposas.
This inspired portrait of four women is a haunting statement about the human cost of political oppression, and is destined to take its place alongside Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Allende's The House of the Spirits as one of the great 20th-century Latin American novels.
Note: This title is in Spanish.

Exclusive: Group aims to defeat Mayor Bloomberg's microstamping of bullet casings
The National Rifle Association has taken aim at New York, doling out more campaign donations in the Empire State over the last nine years than in any other in state in the nation.
The prime target: defeating Mayor Bloomberg's push for microstamping of bullet casings, which backers say would be an effective crimefighting tool.
Since 2003, the NRA has reported giving New York legislators and political committees $217,400 — the organization's largest outlay over that period.
Arizona candidates received the second-highest cash infusion: $196,317.
Almost half of the donations in New York came in 2010, after the legislative defeat of a microstamping bill, which would have required bullet casings to carry unique markings, campaign records show. Senate Democrats, then in the majority, tried to move the bill, but couldn't muster the necessary 32 votes.

The Philadelphia Phillies have announced that Shawn Williams will now manage the Williamsport Crosscutters, the Phillies short-season class A affiliate, in 2014.
Williams replaces Nelson Prada who managed the Cutters in 2013 and was previously named to lead the squad again this season. Prada will now manage the Clearwater Threshers (Class A) for the Phillies, replacing Ramon Henderson who stepped down for personal reasons.
Williams, son of former Phillies coach and MLB manager Jimy Williams, spent the 2013 season as a coach with Williamsport and was originally scheduled to be the Cutters hitting coach in 2014.
"I'm excited about returning to Williamsport and starting my managing career in a town that has such a long baseball history and great fans", said Williams, who spent 7 seasons playing professionally prior to beginning his coaching career, including the 2007 season in the New York-Penn League with Hudson Valley.
Joining Williams in the dugout will be pitching coach Aaron Fultz. Fultz spent two years (2005-06) on the Phillies' pitching staff and played on the National League champion San Francisco Giants in 2002. He has a career record of 25-15 with a 4.26 ERA in 463 major league appearances. He was the Crosscutters pitching coach in 2012 and served as the pitching coach with the Lakewood BlueClaws (A) in 2013.
The Phillies are expected to name a new Williamsport hitting coach in the coming weeks.
The Cutters 2014 season opens on Friday, June 13 as Williamsport hosts the State College Spikes. Season tickets and Bonus Book mini-plans are now available by phone, online at crosscutters.com or in-person at Historic Bowman Field.

Gartner: Lotus Symphony No Competition for Microsoft Office
IBM's Lotus Symphony will be unable to break the dominance of Microsoft's Office package according to market researchers Gartner. Open Office still has too many deficits for enterprise use, they say, and the future belongs to Web-based office and collaboration solutions.
In its analysis, Gartner assumes that IBM is aiming to shake up Microsoft's market dominance in office applications with Lotus Symphony. Microsoft Office is widespread and corporations need full compatibility, which Open Office does not guarantee, according to the market researchers. In the long term the institute believes that Web 2.0 applications will prove the more serious competitor to Microsoft, stating that it would take too long for the Open Office project to benefit significantly from IBM's contribution.
Due to its 10-year support guarantee for office products, Microsoft has bred a moment of inertia into its products that prevents the use of Open Document solutions in corporations. Various functions that are only available in MS Office and the lack of compatibility between document formats are the other factors that make MS Office so reticent. Lotus Symphony relies on the Open Office word processing, spreadsheet and presentations software modules, as Linux Magazine reported. IBM thus supports the free ODF with its free Lotus Symphony Office Suite.
Interest in the Open Document Standard is likely to increase, and Gartner's IT strategists cite the OOXML flop as the major reason for this. Barrier-free use as advertised by IBM may cause authorities to move to Open Office in future, as this deficit was a major obstacle in the past. And IBM's press release points to the excellent response the Symphony Suite has received in the first few weeks.
In the meantime, IBM's competitor has not been idle, and collaborative editing capabilities make Web applications a third alternative. This is the bigger threat to Microsoft, says the Gartner analysis, as Lotus Symphony does not offer enough in the line of benefits compared with Open Office.
