The debate over the installation of wireless communication facilities continues in Danville, as the Town Council is set to discuss updating its policies regulating the installation of cell facilities on the public right-of-way at its regular meeting on Tuesday evening.
Working to amend its policies in order to keep up with evolving Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations, the council will specifically discuss streamlining the process for installing wireless cell facilities, a movie that has been vehemently opposed by a group of Danville residents.
"Shortly after the (town's wireless communication facilities ordinance) became effective in September, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a new declaratory ruling and order expressly aimed at promoting the rapid deployment of small cell wireless facilities," city attorney Robert Ewing and Danville's principal planner David Crompton wrote in a staff report. "The FCC's order accomplishes this in large part by further preempting local regulation."
Three key provisions can be taken away from the FCC order, which do greatly limit the town's ability to oversee installations, according to town staff.
For one the order mandates that aesthetic regulations can now only be imposed if they are "1) reasonable, 2) no more burdensome than applied to other infrastructure deployments and 3) objective and published in advance." This aspect essentially eliminates concepts such as "significant gap" and "least intrusive means," that have been used by the town in the past, said Crompton and Ewing.
"The order provides very little guidance on what types of regulations would meet this new standard other than they must be technically feasible and reasonably directed to avoid the 'intangible public harm' of unsightly or out-of character deployments," they wrote.
The period in which cell facilities can be reviewed and approved has also been greatly shortened. Now small cell proposals must be reviewed in 60 days for an existing pole, or 90 days for a new pole, compared to the 150 days previously allowed.
Third, the order allows municipalities to charge a $100 processing fee per application and $270 annual fee sort of rental fee, that can be charged for the use of a town owned pole.
In order to meet these new regulations, town staff have proposed removing the town's Planning Commission from the review process, instead having proposed sites reviewed by planning division staff -- with all appeals to be directly reviewed by the Town Council.
"As discussed at the Jan. 8, 2019 Town Council study session, this is the only viable way to ensure that final decisions can be made within the 60 day shot clock while leaving any final decisions on appeal to the Town Council," Crompton and Ewing wrote.
Staff have also proposed the council adopt licensing agreements with wireless providers, which would streamline the approval process for the installation of wireless facilities on town-owned infrastructure, and allow the town to charge for the use of their poles.
Danville Citizens for Responsible Growth -- a group of residents that have spoken out early and often in protest against wireless facilities being installed in residential areas -- have balked at the council's consideration of the order, and are encouraging the council to come out against its approval.
"The updates were made without taking into account any input from DCRG. We have provided significant input and sent copies of other cities successful, protective ordinances. These were all completely ignored. Instead, they added more language to the ordinance, taken almost directly from the FCC, to prevent us further local control," DCRG member Jami Tucker wrote in an email to residents.
In past council meetings, DCRG members have shown particular concern over perceived health risks associated with the radio frequencies emitted from wireless cell facilities. Local municipalities have their hands tied by the FCC, however, who forbid regulations based off health concerns.
"I am personally disappointed at what feels like a bait-and-switch. I thought that we would finally put in place a more protective wireless ordinance which would discourage Danville from becoming Verizon's (and AT&T's, Sprints, T-Mobiles...) land grab of expensive Danville real estate at bargain basement prices," Tucker said. "I was wrong to believe that four of our five elected officials were brave, and so were all of us who showed up at those meetings and took the time to write and call our Town Council."
Tucker was referring to the Town Council's March 6 meeting, where the council approval an appeal denying a land-use permit for wireless facility on Camino Tassajara, requested by Verizon Wireless. The denial was based on four out of five council members finding that the proposed location was not the least intrusive site possible, better alternative locations may exist and Verizon did not adequately demonstrated the proposed facility would meet federal radio frequency standards.
The Town Council will meet to discuss its wireless cell facility installation policies and other issues facing the community at its regular meeting Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. at the Town Meeting Hall, 201 Front St.

Estimates of Eligibility for ACA Coverage among the Uninsured by Race and Ethnicity
This analysis provides national estimates of eligibility for ACA coverage options by race/ethnicity, including Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. We estimate coverage and eligibility as of early 2015, which is prior to the end of the 2015 Marketplace open enrollment period.

New Orleans Ten Years After The Storm: The Kaiser Family Foundation Katrina Survey Project
Ten years after Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast and the subsequent levee failure led to unprecedented destruction in New Orleans, the Kaiser Family Foundation teamed up with NPR to conduct a survey of the city's current residents. This work builds on three previous surveys conducted by the Foundation in 2006, 2008, and 2010, as well as a survey of Katrina evacuees in Houston shelters conducted in partnership with The Washington Post in September 2005. The new survey examines how those who are currently living in Orleans Parish feel about the progress the city has made and the lingering challenges it faces, including those brought about by Katrina and those that pre-date the storm.Report Read More

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Access to and Utilization of Care among Insured Adults
This analysis based on data from the 2014 Kaiser Survey of Low-Income Americans examines differences in access to and utilization of care for Black and Hispanic adults compared to White adults among those who are uninsured, enrolled in Medicaid, and privately insured. The findings suggest that gains in health coverage under the ACA will lead to improvements in access to care and utilization for White, Black, and Hispanic adults. They also highlight the importance of increased attention to addressing racial and ethnic disparities in access to and utilization of care among privately insured adults, particularly as the privately insured population becomes more diverse as a result of greater enrollment of people of color into private plans through the ACA Marketplaces.Issue Brief Read More

- Gay 'marriages' overshadow music at Grammys
- Conceived in rape, still worthy of life
- Vatican radio employs Down Syndrome student as first ever intern
Pregnancy crisis centers have been plugging adoption as an abortion alternative for years, but the larger pro-life movement is now embracing it as a friendlier way to reach women. Perhaps because of this new marketing plan, a smaller subset of pro life activists got more vocal this year. They are people who were conceived through rape and incest.
He's the first-ever student intern employed by Vatican Radio, the author of a book about living with disabilities, an actor and a student in media studies with professional experience in television news and documentary production: it's hard to imagine why anyone would question Michael Gannon's worth as a human being.
The Grammy Awards celebrated outcasts and outsiders, lionizing a couple of French robots, white rappers and a country gal espousing gay "rights," and a Goth teenager who's clearly uncomfortable with the current themes in pop music.

For the past three years many people trying to get a flu shot have either been denied because of a shortage of the vaccine or faced late delivery issues to local physicians, health departments, pharmacies and other places that give shots.
With those problems still on the minds of people who used to otherwise routinely get a flu shot, Dave Marley, a pharmacist and owner of Marley Drug in Winston-Salem, is worried some people will not even try to get a flu shot this year although supply and delivery issues seem to be resolved. That means a lot more people may get very sick and spread the illness to others this flu season.
"One, people have gotten out of the habit," said Marley, a Davidson County resident. "And two, they have heard for the past couple of years that only the really sick, young and old can get a shot ... If you have gone a few years without a shot, you are very susceptible to getting the flu."
Marley is one of very few pharmacists in the Triad who sought and received certification to administer flu shots to customers. Before 2000, only doctors and nurses could give the shots. He has already given more than 300 of his 500 flu shot vaccines to his store customers. No appointments are necessary, but the law allows only adults age 18 or older to receive flu shots from a pharmacist. Most pharmacies sponsor flu-shot clinics but have nurses administer the shots.
Each year in the United States, 36,000 people die from complications after contracting the flu, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control. More than 200,000 Americans have to be hospitalized for flu complications.
The problems with supply, and especially the unpredictable delivery of flu shots in years past, led Jerry Beamer, owner of Your Pharmacy of Lexington, to decide not to have a flu clinic this year.
"We made some people very happy and some people very mad who did not get a shot," he said. "You have to order your supply in May for October. You advertise and set up appointments and then the shots don't arrive."
He is fielding calls each day from customers asking when he will have a clinic at his store.
"I don't like disappointing people," he said. "It's too much trouble to go through to make someone mad."
The Davidson County Health Department has not had issues with supply or delivery of flu shots this year, said Jen Hames, public health educator at the health department. She also noted she has not heard of local doctors' offices having issues either. The department held a flu shot clinic in Lexington Thursday and will have one in Thomasville Tuesday and Denton Thursday.
"We encourage everybody 6 months or older to get the flu shot," she said. "Anybody who has ever had the flu knows why you don't want to get it again."
The Centers for Disease Control recommends people get a flu shot in October, November or even December. It takes about two weeks for the shot to provide protection. The protective qualities last four to five months.
However, each year the flu shot is developed to protect against certain flu types researchers believe will be most troublesome during flu season. It is still possible to contract other types of flu the vaccine was not meant to protect against, Hames said.
Ted Dorton, the practice administrator with Lexington Family Physicians, said the office received its supply of flu shots on time and has already given many shots to patients. The practice is holding a few flu clinics on Saturdays for its patients by appointment only in addition to appointments during the regular work week.
Like Marley, he said he was a bit concerned past problems with the flu shots may have gotten people out of the habit of calling their doctor's office to get one.
"It's a good idea to get it, particularly if you have health issues, or work in an environment that puts you at risk," he added.
Lexington Pediatric Clinic just got its flu-shot supply in last week and is setting up appointments now for its young patients, said Dr. James Burke.
The staff always reminds patients who come in the late summer months to call in October for an appointment to get a flu shot. The practice also sends out reminder cards to patients with illnesses, such as asthma or diabetes, which puts them at greater risk during flu season and patients who received shots the previous year, Burke said.
While the CDC did not recommend healthy children receive a flu shot every year many years ago, the agency does recommend that now.
Jill Doss-Raines can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 219, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Flu shots are here and plentiful
For the past three years many people trying to get a flu shot have either been denied because of a shortage of the vaccine or faced late delivery issues to local physicians, health departments, pharmacies and other places that give shots.

took some moments in her hand
shook them up

Year of New Beer: Sixfold I: Wild Pale Ale, West 6th Brewing (Lexington)
Written By: Dion on 01/08/2019
So apparently this beer has been around for a few years now, but I haven't tried it. Not sure if it has always been the same, but this iteration is Pennyrile Pale ale aged in wine barrels. The nose starts with a tart apple alongside hints of dusty oak and sour white grape. On the tongue, traces of the hop bite found in the base beer are joined by a modestly sour funk that again features a touch of apple with tart berries. Very mild, bready malt underneath. Nothing too complex, but very refreshing and perfect for a ridiculously warm January day.

Monday Memory
I kept thinking, I should learn to surf. Maybe next time at the coast. Friday, I lingered on the beach and walked around Pacific Beach. Amazing. Concluded my day with a bloody mary and bar-hopped later with Tommy, Michael and Robert. Birthday success story for sure.
This week, I hope to return to running, go to yoga and be a little healthier in the food department. Lately, I have been careless with what I am eating. I would prefer dining on veggies, whole grains and no fried foods. My love of chips and salsa sort of derails that insight; however, I have been munching on fries at work as they are accessible. I wish we had better munchie food at work. Last night, I discovered the beauty of creating my own sandwich and pairing it with a salad. I see many variations of chicken sandwiches in my work future.
Til then....enjoy your day! Yoga, lunch and possibly a brief visit to work are on my Monday's agenda. I can still dream of the beach,,,,

MLS Review: Kaka scores on return for Orlando, Sounders complete three-goal comeback
Kaka made an immediate impact as high-flying Orlando City accounted for Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Saturday.
Orlando City captain Kaka scored in his long-awaited return, while reigning MLS champions Seattle Sounders rallied from three goals down to earn a draw against New England Revolution.
Back on the pitch following a hamstring injury suffered on the opening weekend of the season, Kaka made an immediate impact as high-flying Orlando accounted for Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Saturday.
After Carlos Rivas broke the deadlock in the 70th minute, former AC Milan and Real Madrid star Kaka came off the bench to seal Orlando's fifth successive home victory in the first minute of stoppage time.
Kaka was on hand to tuck away the rebound from inside the six-yard box after Cyle Larin's strike hit the post.
It's good to be back April 29, 2017
Orlando are top of the Eastern Conference, two points clear of New York Red Bulls, who overcame Bastian Schweinsteiger's Chicago Fire 2-1 thanks to goals from Bradley Wright-Phillips and Kemar Lawrence.
Seattle completed a stunning second-half comeback to earn a 3-3 draw with New England.
74' – 3-0 FT – 3-3 April 30, 2017
Trailing 3-0 in the 75th minute, the Sounders rallied through Nicolas Lodeiro before Will Bruin equalised five minutes from time.
Osvaldo Alonso scored the winner with two minutes remaining at home to the Revolution, who played out their third consecutive draw.
It was a five-goal thriller in Columbus as Jack Harrison's brace lifted New York City past the Crew 3-2.
Yangel Herrera – on loan from parent club Manchester City – also scored for New York, who trailed 2-1 early in the second half.
Sporting Kansas City eased past Real Salt Lake 3-0, Montreal Impact lost 2-1 at home to Vancouver Whitecaps, FC Dallas and Portland Timbers drew 2-2, San Jose Earthquakes edged Minnesota United 1-0, while LA Galaxy played out a goalless draw against Philadelphia Union.

text: Homes for sale in San Diego continue to be at historically low numbers. I'm being to feel like a broken record. But take a look at the chart, provided by the San Diego Association of Realtors, below. It illustrates active (homes currently on the market), contingent (homes with offers accepted but awaiting bank approval-typically these are short sales) and pending sales (homes with an accepted offer and currently in escrow). The chart illustrates since January of 2012 to January 2013, San Diego has had a steady decline in available homes for sale yet a strong demand for housing. Currently the number of homes for sale (active) is just barely outpacing the number of homes in escrow (green). Looks like 2013 is off to a bang for San Diego's Real Estate Market.

Goodbye 2008, don't let the door hit you on the way out
So I'm not going to write about not-so-good stuff that happened to my family back home. Seriously, I kept asking myself, "what on earth is going to happen next?" I won't expand on it because it's not mine to tell... but trust me, it was not good.
And I'm not going to write how Fred and I were the subject of gossip by people we thought were our friends. And I won't write about how utterly hurt we were by it and how a friendship ended because of it.
And I won't mention that we still don't have our green card, and so we were not able to go home to Vancouver like we had planned. We ended up not taking a vacation at all this year because we didn't want to use vacation days or money from our vacation budget in hopes that the green card would eventually come through and I'd be able to go home for the first time in 3 years.
Missing from this summary will be all the mysterious illnesses Elise came down with and the numerous ultrasounds and CT scan we had to subject her to. You especially won't hear a thing about how Elise was diagnosed with diabetes only two days after she turned one. And how we got the phone call telling us we needed to take her to the hospital in THE MIDDLE OF HER BIRTHDAY PARTY.
And I won't write about how heart-breakingly awful her illness has been. Or the stress it has put on Fred and I and our marriage. Or how lonely it has been dealing with this by ourselves. Or how some days the despair is so bleak I wonder if I'll even be able to get out of bed.
When Fred sat down today to write the Cunha End of the Year Newsletter, he asked me, "What happened that was good this year?"
I thought about it for a few seconds and quipped, "Well, we're still alive."
But when I sit and really think about it, despite all the junk we've been through, there were bright moments.
As horrible as diabetes is, I realize that it's treatable. As long as we remain vigilant, and take good care of her, Elise will survive. I know of friends whose empty arms are aching for their children, and would take a chronic illness any day over the alternative.
Though we didn't take a vacation, the fact remains that we could have afforded to, if we had wanted to. Because we were blessed enough to get out of debt 4 years ago, and we have been diligent about our budget; we were not really affected by the economic crisis. Sure Fred's 401k has taken a hit and our investments are not worth as much as before, but we're young and have time to build them up again.
And since Fred didn't take a vacation, he had about three weeks worth of vacation days accrued that needed to be used up before the end of the year. So Fred has been on vacation since Dec. 12, making life a little less stressful for me. Elise and I have enjoyed having him home.
As far as our marriage goes, both Fred and I remain devoted to one another and will not let the stress tear us apart. It is our strong bond and love for each other that allows us to face this disease head on.
And above all, I know my God loves me and I can always find comfort in His arms.
So I bid 2008 a not-so-fond farewell. I hope that '09 is kind to you and yours.

I love you guys so much! I'm sorry you didn't get to go to Colorado this week, I know that was just another disappointment in the long list of sucky things. I admire how strong you guys have stayed through everything. Despite going through hell with Elise's health, the not-knowing, the adjustment of EVERYTHING in your lives, despite being exhausted, and confused, and sad...you guys have made it...like you said, you're still alive, you're still together and Elise is doing well!
Here's to a happy 2009, Cunhas!

Hey Jo,
I was listening to the top 100 songs of 2008 on our local Christian station as I drove around Seattle yesterday. They were about to play a song from MercyMe, and were playing a little clip from Bart about how the song "Bring the Rain" came to be. One of the things that happened to them that year, along with losing family members, was a diabetes diagnosis for their 2 year old. It made me think of this post.
As for the betrayal of a friendship, I know it will take time for that pain to soften. But I will even pray for eventual restoration of the relationship as that is what God desires ultimately.
We love you, and are praying that there are more things to celebrate in 2009.

:( Christy told me that loneliness is rampant among moms with very young children with diabetes. I'm sorry.
I've also had my life ripped apart by gossip because a whole lot of people believed it. Now that it's been five or six years, I can see the good through the bad. I hope it works out for your good. Hugs.

text: This engaging tale starts out with an elderly Lakota grandfather telling his children and grandson about the battle known as Fetterman's Massacre. That retelling sets the tone for this oral history-like story of the Lakota and their fears and reactions to the Long Knife forts along The Bozeman Trail in the mid 1860's. The lead up to the battle is told from the Lakota point of view and mainly centers on the warrior Cloud and his wife, Sweet Water Woman, though the author does a thorough job in his description of life in a Lakota village; and their fears and mistrust of the encroaching whites The author also lays out the misconceptions prevalent among many whites concerning the native tribes, e.g. the military's disdain of the Indian's fighting ability. I was entertained and educated by this book and am looking forward to the second volume and it's tale of the Greasy Grass fight; also known as The Little Bighorn. 5 stars and a Hoover Book Review recommendation.

The Super Storm of Evil may be delayed with the election of Donald Trump, but evil acceleration may not be completely halted, due to America's spiritual condition. Apparently, there are a lot of people that had no problem in voting for a woman that had every intention of gutting the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution, continuing on a path of total perversion, and embracing a platform based on constant mendacity.
I believe it was President Obama that said that he was not sure on what the American People were trying to say with the election of Donald Trump. Well, let me see if I can help him understand a bit about it, since I voted for Trump. Men and Women across this country do not support a government that is trying to pervert the roles of sexuality. Millions of people think that it is completely crazy to promote an idea that biological men should be allowed to enter women's restrooms. Americans were also not thrilled that our children in some areas of the country are being taught confusion about their roles concerning gender. Hillary Clinton had said on two different occasions that she supports this nonsense, and that she intended to make related issues a priority if she became President. That's one group of fed-up Americans that voted against this weird progressive, abnormal, and dangerous platform.
The next group of Americans that spoke very loudly were the gun owners of America. You would think Hillary Clinton would have learned through the Al Gore Experience, that messing with the guns of Americans was a losing proposition. It wasn't just the gun issue, but the lying about the issue that enraged gun owners. Hillary talked about the Heller Decision as if it was about toddlers, but gun owners all knew that this was not the case. Hillary said she supported back ground checks and laws to prevent those who should not have a gun. The gun owners of America did not buy this dishonest rhetoric. You see, gun owners already knew what Hillary supported. They knew that she supported massive gun bans, Australian type gun registration and confiscation, and that she believed that the Heller Decision was wrong. The gun owners were another group of Americans that were fed-up.
The next group of Americans that voted for Trump were the always loyal Pro-Lifers. Hillary Clinton lied yet again, during one of the debates, about Partial-Birth Abortion. She lied about what it is, and made up stories about what it is not. Not only did she disrespect the unborn by lying about this procedure, but she did the same to the American people in order to protect this horrendous procedure. This group of Americans pulled the lever for Trump as well.
Hillary made it clear that the Borders of the United States mean nothing to her, but they do to us. By us, I mean Immigrants that have worked hard to come here legally, African Americans who are tired of their jobs being stolen by illegal immigrants, and millions of others who know that this is being done so that the Democratic Leadership can use and abuse another voting minority. I am sure Border Agents joined the others in this group in total disgust, as Hillary's Morbid Desires would make their jobs a nightmare. All of these people, numbering in the millions, voted for Trump.
Hillary lost many women due to the fact that she was trying to disarm them through gun control, subject them to violation through public restrooms, and open them and their children up to the possible dangers of Isis operatives hiding among thousands of Syrian Refugees. This group pulled the lever for Trump.
Then, perhaps a massive block of voters voted against Hillary because they felt that she was the absolute Greatest Liar of all time in politics! Then, to top all of these things off with Democratic Sugar, Hillary had the cavalier attitude that her e-mails were just a mistake.
Finally, so many issues were swirling around Hillary, like The Clinton Foundation Scandal, that the public perception of Hillary, whether right or wrong, was that Hillary clearly thought she was above the law!
I think concession speeches are Peachy Keen, but if they are not genuine who cares? I mean, what has Hillary been genuine about?
These are certainly not the only reasons Hillary Clinton lost so many States, but they sure represent a lot of those reasons, and I know, because I have asked people here, there, and every where! Hope this blog post helps the President understand what America was saying with the election of Donald Trump.
Still though, I am glad President Elect Trump said that he intends to be the President of all of the people.
God Bless America, and
Thank God for his mercy,
Mark Damon

Why We Have Them
An optimally drafted fee-tail clause will take into account the
term of the Engagement Letter and the exclusive or non-exclusive
nature of the EMD's mandate. Industry standards and market
practices usually see EMD Engagement Letters applying for a
fixed duration, usually not less than 1 year with automatic renewal
rights thereafter. An allowance is often made for either the EMD or
Issuer to terminate the mandate early without cause on 30 days
prior written notice. The practical consequence of this is that the
EMD's Engagement Letter is in effect a short-term arrangement
between the Issuer and the EMD because it can typically be
terminated by either party for any reason, or no reason at all, on 30
days prior written notice. The stated reason for this de facto
short-term arrangement is that Issuers should not be required of entering
into a long-term mandate and tie themselves into a relationship
with an EMD that may have uncertain results. Put another way,
if the relationship is going badly with the EMD, the Issuer usually
wants the ability to unilaterally get out of that bad relationship, and
relatively quickly. The converse is also true if the relationship with
the Issuer is going badly, and fairness dictates that the EMD should
possess the same unilateral ability to exit a bad relationship quickly.
So far so good, and fair enough. But there remains one important
caveat addressed by an optimally drafted fee-tail, which deals with
a potential unfairness to the EMD in scenarios where the EMD
does its job, expends time and expense in identifying investors and
then the mandate is terminated by the Issuer without cause. If the
closing occurs and includes investors brought to the offering by the
EMD, the Issuer would benefit from the EMDs efforts but not pay
the EMD as they terminated the engagement. In the absence of
the protective fee-tail provision, the EMD would be denied its hard
earned fees and a manifestly unfair result would ensue.
Best Practices for Drafting Them
Drafting the fee-tail provision requires consideration ofwhether there is an exclusive or non-exclusive mandate containedwithin the EMD's Engagement Letter. In an exclusive mandate, thecourts have consistently held that the EMD is entitled to its feesregardless of whether it sourced the investment or not. That is thehallmark of an exclusive engagement: if an investor invests withinthe term, then the EMD is entitled to its success fee howeverthe investor happened to have found its way to the investmentopportunity. That is a very powerful right in favour of the EMD.But not so in a non-exclusive mandate, where the courts haveconsistently held that in order for the EMD to earn its fee, it mustbe shown to be the procuring cause of the investment. That is tosay, the EMD must have some meaningful involvement in termsof sourcing, identifying or introducing the investor to the Issuer.
Whether an EMD's mandate is exclusive or non-exclusive has
a significant bearing on the optimal drafting of the fee tail provision
in the EMD's Engagement Letter. In an exclusive mandate, the EMD
should be entitled to compensation for a closing during the tail
period for any investor with whom the Issuer has contact during
the term of the EMD's Engagement Letter, regardless of how said
contact is initiated. This would accompany the section in an the
Engagement Letter that requires the Issuer to notify the EMD in
writing of all potential investors it comes into contact with during
the term. Alternatively, in a non-exclusive mandate scenario, the
EMD should only be entitled to compensation for any closing
that takes place during the tail period with investors who were
sourced, identified or introduced by the EMD during the term.
The drafting trap for the unwary EMD is this: in many instances
we see fee-tail provisions in exclusive mandates that are too
narrowly drafted and only entitle the EMD to compensation for
closings which occur during the tail period with investors who
have been sourced, introduced or identified by the EMD.
This is sub-optimal drafting which denies the EMD its rightful
compensation in a situation where the EMD did not introduce,
source or identify the investor during the term, but the Issuer
did have contact with the investor during the term. To a lesser
extent, we also sometimes see fee-tails drafted in non-exclusive
mandates which entitle the EMD to its fees for a closing which
occurs during the tail period for all subscribers with whom which
the Issuer has had contact during the term. While beneficial to the
EMD, such drafting is too broad owing to the fact it is inconsistent
with the underpinnings of the proper compensatory scheme
during the term of non-exclusive mandates.
So the key thing to remember is this: fee-tails in exclusive
mandates should be drafted in a different fashion than those in
non-exclusive mandates - and we find this rarely to be the case
in practice.

Use the link on left side when you are ready to join up. Simply put, this is the best analysis (yes even better than mine, although I do different stuff) from two hard working guys that know tech, Elliot, Fibo, patterns, candles, indicators and divergences, as well as coming up with their own backtested mechanical system, and real time trade alerts, and an active (protected) blog, that's tolerate no spam/no trolls. $40 per month.
One decent trade idea can easily pay for the whole membership fee.
What can I say?
Second -- I haven't been posting and when I don't see much in terms of good patterns, PRS channels, Fear Factor, or ACT (Asset Class Totals) --- well then I might just post up a funny video ror something.
AUD Short. Look at that stop sweep. This is simple folks...when you see a stop sweep like that, a near vertical line, they mean business....they are using big money to ramp and sweep, then they are shorting from the toppish area, and then not entering more bids...but letting the market tank....
However before I make a Gonzo Bet, I would want to confirm that is not just a data error, so I look at TOS and sure enough, same stop sweep, so it probably really happened. Time to drill down.
I'll do a short lesson in PRS in the near future. It is really simple, but you need to train your eye to see patterns that are buried in between the outliers on the high and low side.
OK, simple enough, but we haven't established a declining channel on the AUD/USD nor even broken the PRS 133, we are at PRS 50 actually. So expect shenanigans, but keep on eye on this one, set some alerts even, maybe 2 alerts each side up and down.
I did just draw in a mini-down channel on the last chart at bottom, seems to work well.

Different generations have different professional expectations. That's important to remember as an HR professional. As employees from previous generations retire, you can't rely on the same tactics to attract today's entry-level candidates. It's necessary to adjust your strategy based on the changing preferences of a new generation.
This doesn't need to be difficult. The following tips demonstrate simple ways you can appeal to up-and-coming talent in the coming years. If your company expects to lose a significant number of employees to retirement in the near future, they're particularly important to keep in mind.
Offer Flexibility
Remote work has been on the rise for years now. As technology has improved, more businesses have given employees the freedom to work from home. In the past, this has been seen as a perk. However, today's workers often expect companies to offer remote work options when possible.
This isn't just speculation. According to one survey, 64 percent of Millennials say they are excited by the prospect of being able to work outside of the office when learning about potential employers. With more businesses offering this degree of flexibility, potential employees may be inclined to seek employment elsewhere if yours doesn't.
Even if a job candidate accepts a position without a remote work option, there's a good chance they'll be looking for opportunities at other organizations. They may leave your company for a job somewhere else as soon as they find a position at a company with a remote-friendly policy.
This leads to a high turnover rate (and high expenses). Avoid it by consulting with executives and managers to identify which roles in your company can be filled remotely when reasonable and appropriate.
Offer Training
Gone are the days when employees were content to perform the same tasks in the same role for years. Surveys indicate today's workers typically want to know they have opportunities to grow their responsibilities at a company. This is actually a major reason that people leave jobs. A survey of workers reveals that 70 percent of Millennials consider a lack of development opportunities to be a major motivation for seeking employment elsewhere.
Prepare for this changing expectation by developing a plan to offer training programs. You should also coordinate with management to ensure employees across all departments have the opportunity to earn promotions and move up the ladder. When young workers feel they are in roles that allow for growth, they're more engaged.
Have a Mission
Today's employees also want to know their work is meaningful. In fact, surveys indicate Millennial workers value a sense of purpose more than high pay. Companies can no longer rely on the promise of a raise as the sole way to motivate and engage their workers.
Thus, your company needs to stand for a set of values. Establishing your brand's mission and clearly communicating it to employees allows you to provide them with the sense of meaning they desire.
This is also an effective way to make companies in less compelling industries more attractive to young workers. For example, maybe your industry is accounting. A traditional accounting firm may not have the "cool" factor of a hip new startup. However, by focusing on how the services you provide help your clients reach their goals, you can help potential employees recognize why your firm is a great place to work.
Don't Insist on a College Degree
Some young people are beginning to feel the college experience wasn't as valuable to them as they'd been told it would be. However, traditional HR professionals may still consider college performance and experience as a major factor when determining whether an applicant is a good fit for a role.
Don't be one of them. While there absolutely are going to be instances when a job applicant's college experiences are relevant, it's also important to look beyond the college years when evaluating someone's qualifications. Many young people have found they are able to accomplish much more outside of college than in it.
Adopt a Continuous Feedback Policy
Again, up-and-coming employees want to know they have the chance to grow at a company. Part of that involves receiving feedback from management. Workers can't know whether they're likely to get a promotion if they don't receive feedback from their supervisors regarding current performance.
That said, the annual review is no longer sufficient. You need to shift to a continuous feedback program, in which employees are regularly provided with chances to learn about their performance and progress.
Making the types of changes listed here will require some degree of coordination with various people throughout your organization. Don't let that stop you from making them sooner rather than later. As employees retire, adopting these new strategies will help you attract talent to replace them.

I´m Kristian and this is my blog about a two-year round the world bicycle tour.
It began as a dream a few years ago, but at the time as a vision to complete a bike tour for a longer period of time, it then escalated quickly. Maybe crossing the US is cool to begin with, but then what about South America, China, the Middle East and not to forget: Europe. As time went on I realized that it is actually possible to do all of the above, it was just going to take a bit more time…
After months of research and self-doubt I finally made up my mind and decided to hand in my letter of resignation – which I did, on May 16th this year – and the adventure was on. SCARY!
I soon partnered up with Alzheimerfonden and Swedish Care International so we could do something great during my two years on the road; raise awareness about dementia and to raise money for Alzheimerfonden.
So, who am I?
33 years old, born and raised in Stockholm Sweden. I have a background, in the very boring world of insurance and as you can see I'm in no way an adventurer, but I will do my best to make it around the world regardless.
My father taught me to ride the bike at the age of 4-5 (ish), since then I pedaled almost every day until the start of junior high in 1998. With few exceptions I didn't ride again until my sisters, forcefully, invited me to join them on a bike ride to Paris, France from our summerhouse in the south of Sweden. After that, I guess I was hooked. So, mom, in a way it's all Josefine and Charlottas fault I´m doing this thing.
I´m also not a blogger – well I guess I am now – and this is truly what scares me the most about my trip, blogging. At this point I know about as much as you do about what I will write, but hopefully I will meet tons of extraordinary people see extraordinary places and of course I will talk about dementia and the need for more awareness and research about it.

Itumeleng Khune will not play any more football for Kaizer Chiefs this season
Kaizer Chiefs have been dealt a huge blow with news that goalkeeper and captain Itumeleng Khune has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The 2018/19 season has come to a premature end for Khune, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in December, and was spotted in a brace in the presidential suite at FNB Stadium, where Chiefs lost 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon.
The Bafana Bafana stalwart saw a specialist this week and suggestions are that he will now require surgery, with Middendorp – upon being quizzed over the prognosis – confirming that Khune will only play again next season.
"The season is finished for Itumeleng Khune – that's the answer. He'll be back next season," responded the German tactician.
This will come as a blow to Bafana's 2019 AFCON qualifying campaign, which will see them face Libya in their decisive final clash of Group E, and puts his availability for the finals in doubt should Stuart Baxter's men boom their tickets in March.
Things could still swing in Bafana's favour, with CAF set to announce the new hosts of the continental finals on Thursday, after Cameroon were stripped of the hosting rights a few weeks ago.
Egypt and South Africa are favourites to host the showpiece. kickoff.com

A Pastel Page for Allie's Scrapbook
I was going to do Allie's Freshman Scrapbook all in Black, Red, and Kraft, but I changed my mind and did a few pastel pages after seeing the challenge on the 123 Challenge Blog. The challenge for March is to use pastels, the word "Dream," and frames. I also used the Stash Busters Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers which is to use 3 different paper patterns, two chipboard pieces, something pleated or crimped, and a die cut.
I had this fun laminated burlap and I painted the edges white with MS Craft Paint. The papers are from prima, the dream text is from the Text Cloud and Songbird image by Dawn Collins (available at Squigglefly), and the flowers and chipboard are from my stash. This picture is when Allie got her invitation to join her sorority.
Hope you aren't getting tired of pictures of Allie yet - I have about 130 more to go! LOL!
Allie is running for Senator and here is one of her campaign "buttons" for her Facebook page:
Hope you had a great weekend! Hugz!

passing through here, in their way to Italy and | night at Anncey: the day after, by noon, we got the south, which at present happen to be near to Geneva. I have not time to say any thing about
thirty in number. It is a fortnight since we set nut from hence upon a little excursion to Geneva. We took the longest road, which lies through Savoy, on purpose to see a famous monastery, called the Grand Chartreuse, and had no reason to think our time lost. After having travelled seven days very slow (for we did not change horses, it being impossible for a chaise to go post in these roads) we arrived at a little village among the mountains of Savoy, called Echelles; from thence we proceeded on horses, who are used to the way, to the mountain of the Chartreuse. It is six miles to the top; the road runs winding up it, commonly not six feet broad; on one hand is the rock, with woods of pine-trees hanging over head; on the other a monstrous precipice, almost perpendicular, at the bottom of which rolls a torrent, that sometimes tumbling among the fragments of stone that have fallen from on high, and sometimes precipitating itself down vast descents with a noise like thunder, which is still made greater by the echo [mm the mountains on each side. concurs to form one of the most solemn, the most romantie, and the most astonishing scenes I ever beheld. Add to this the strange views made by the erags and clifls on the other hand ; the cascades that in many places throw themselves from the very summit down into the vale, and the river below; and many other particulars impossible to deseribe; you will conclude we had no occasion to repent our pains. This place St. Bruno chose to retire to, and upon its very top founded the aforesaid convent, which is the superior of the whole order. When we came there, the two fathers, who are commissioned to entertain strangers (for the rest must neither ipeak one to another, or to any one else,) received us very kindly; and set before us a repast of dried fish, eggs, butter and fruits, all excellent in their kind, and extremely neat. They pressed us to spend the night there, and to stay some days with them; but thi s we could not do, so they led us about their house, which is, you must think, like a little city; for there are 100 fathers, besides 300 servants, that make their clothes, grind their corn, press their wine, and do every thing among themselves. The whole is quite orderly and simple; nothing of finery, but the wonderful decency, and the strange situation, more than supply the place of it. In the evening we descended by the same way, passing through many clouds that were then forming themselves on the mountain's side. Next
it, nor of our solitary journey back again.

1N my last I gave you the particulars of our liti V journey to Geneva; 1 have only to add, that we stayed about a week, in order to see Mr. Conway settled there. I do not wonder so many English choose it for their residence; the city is very •mall, neat, prettily built, and extremely populous; the Rhone runs through the middle of it, and it is surrounded with new fortifications, that gire it a military compact air; which, joined to the happy, ltTely countenances of the inhabitants, and an exact discipline always as strictly observed as in time of war, makes the little republic appear a match for a much greater power; though perhaps Geneva, and all that belongs to it, are not of equal extent with Windsor and its two parks. To one that hss passed through Savoy, as we did, nothing can be more strikinn than the contrast, as soon as he approaches the town. Near the gates of Geneva runs the torrent Arve, which separates it from the king of Sardinia's dominions; on the other side of it lies a country naturally, indeed, fine and fertile; but you meet with nothing in it but meagre, ragged, bare-footed peasants, with their children, in extreme misery and nastiness: and even of these no great numbers. You no sooner have erossed the stream I have mentioned, but poverty is no more; not a beggar, hardly a discontented face to be seen, numerous, and well-dressed people swarming on the ramparts; drums beating, soldiers wellclothed and armed, exercising; and folks, with business in their looks, hurrying to and fro; all contribute to make any person, who is not blind, sensible what a difference is between the two governments, that are the causes of one view and the other. The beautiful lake, at one end of which the town is situated; its extent; the several states that border upon it; and all its pleasures, arc too well known for me to mention them. We sailed upon it as far as the dominions of Geneva extend, that is, about two leagues and a half on each side; and landed at several of the little houses of pleasure that the inhabitants have built all about it, who received us with much politeness. The same night we eat part of a trout, taken in the lake, that weighed thirty-seven pounds: as great a monster •ame we came hy; we crossed the Rhone al Seysscl, and passed for three days among the mountains of Bugey, without meeting with any thing new; at last we came out into the plains of La Bresse, and so to Lyons again. Sir Robert has written to Mr. Walpole, to desire be would go to Italy, which he has resolved to jo; so that all the scheme of spending the winter in the south of France is laid aside, and we are to pass it in a much 6ser country. You may imagine I am not sorry to have this opportunity of seeing the place in the world that best deserves it: besides, as the pope, who is eighty-eight, and bas been lately at the point of death, can not probably last a great while, perhaps we may have the fortune to be present at the election of a new one, when Rome will be in all its glory. Friday next we certainly begin itur journey; in two days we shall come to the •bot of the Alps, and six more we shall be in passIng them. Even here the winter is begun; what then must it be among those vast snowy mountains where it is hardly ever summer? We arc however, as well armed as possible against the cold, with mufls, hoods, and musks of beaver, fur boots, and bear skins. When we arrive at Turin, we shall rest after the fatigues of the journey. s s s
day ve continued our journey by Chamberry, | as it appeared to us, it was esteemed there nothing which, though the chief city of the duchy, and extraordinary, and they assured us, it was not untcsidence of the king of Sardinia, when he comes common to cateh them of 6fty pound?: they are into this part of his dominions, makes but a very dressed here, and sent post to Paris upon sum* mean and insignificant appearance; we Uty at great oceasions; nay, even to Madrid, as we were A: ,. once famous for its hot baths, and the next told.

Turin, Nor. 7, N. S. I739.
I Am this night arrived here, and have just sat Q twn to rest me after eight days' tiresome journey: for the three first we had the same road we before passed through to go to Geneva; the fourth we turned out of it, and for that day ami the next travelled rather among than upon the Alps; the way commonly running through a deep valley by the side of the river Are, which works itself a passage, with great difficulty and a mighty noise, among vast quantities of rocks, that have rolled down from the mountain tops. The winter was •o lar advanced, as in great measure to spoil the beauty of the prospect; however, there was still somewhat fine remaining amidst tbe savageness and horror of the place. The sixth we began to go op several of these mountains; and as we were passing one, met with an odd aecident enough: Mr. Walpole had a little fat black spaniel, that he was very fond of, which he sometimes used to set down, and let it run by the chaise side. We were at that time in a very rough road, not two yards broad at most; on one side was a great wood of pines, and on the other a vast precipice; it was noon-day, and the sun shone bright, when all of a udden, from the wood-side, (which was as steep upwards as the other part was downwards) out rushed a great wolf, came close to the head of the . seized the dog I y the throat, and rushed
up the hill again with him in his mouth. Thw was done in less than a quarter of a minute; we all saw it, and yet the servants had no time to draw their pistols, or to do any thing to save the dog If he had not been there, and tlic ereatura had thought it tit to lay hold of one of the horses, chaise, and we, and all must inevitably have tumbled above fifty fathoms perjiendicular down the precipice. The seventh we came to Lanebourg, thc last town in Savoy; it lies at the foot of the famous Mount Cenis, which is so situated as to allow no room for any way but over the very top of it. Here the chaise was foreed to bc pulled to pieces, and the baggage and that to be carried by mules: we ourselves were wrapped up in our furs, and seated upon a sort of matted chair without legs, which is carried upon poles in the manner of a bier, and so begun to ascend by the help of eight men. It was six miles to the top, where a plain opens itself about as manv more in breadth, covered perpetually with very deep snow, and in the midst of that a great lake of unfathomable depth,TOtm whence a river takes its rise, and tumbles over monstrous rocks quite down the other side of the mountain. The descent is six miles more, but infinitely more steep than the going upand here the men perfectly lly down with you, stepping from stone to stone with ineredible swiftness in places where none but they could go three paces without falling. The immensity of the precipices, the roaring of the river and torrents that run into it, the huge erags covered with ice and snow, and the clouds below you and about you, are objects it is impossible to conceive without seeing them; and though we had heard many strange descriptions of the scene, none of them at all came up to it. We were but five hours in performing the whole, from which you may judge of the rapidity of the men's motion. We are now got into Piedmont, and stopped a little while at La Ferriere, a small village about three quarters of the way down, but still among the clouds, where we began to hear a new langunge spoken round about us; at last we got quite down, went through the Pas de Suse, a narrow road among the Alps, defended by two fortresses, and lay at Bossolens: next evening through a fine avenue of nine miles in length, a straight as a line, we arrived at this city, which, as you know, is the capital of the principality, ant the residence of the king of Sardinia.s s s We shall stay here, I believe, a fortnight, and proceed
Turin, Nov. l6, N. S. I739.
An ni eight days'journey through Greenland, we arrived at Turin—you approach it by a handwme avenue of nine miles long, and quite straight. The entrance is guarded by certain vigilant dragoons, called Douaniers, who mumbled us for some lime. The city is not large, as being a place of strength, and consequently confined within its fortifications: it has many beauties and some faults; among the first are streets all laid out by the line, regular uniform buildings, fine walks that surround the whole; and in general a good lively clean appearance: but the houses are of brick, plastered, which is apt to want repairing; the windows of oiled paper, which is apt to be torn; and every thing very slight, which is apt to tumble down. There is an excellent opera, but it is only in the carnival: balls every night, but only in the carnival: masquerades too, but only in the carnival. This carnival lasts only from Christmas to Lent; one half of the remaining part of tiff year is passed in remembering the tast, the other in expecting the future carnival. We can not well subsist upon such slender diet, no more than upon an exeerable Italian comedy, and a puppet show, called Rappresentazione d'un' anima dannata, which, I think, are all the present diversions of the place; except the Marquise de Cavaillae's conversazione, where one goes to see people play at ombre and taroe, a game with seventy-two cards all painted with suns, and moons, and devils, and monks. Mr. Walpole has been at court; the family are at present at a country palace, called La Vencrie. The palace herein town is the very quintessence of gilding and looking-glass; inlaid floors, carved panels, and painting wherever they could stick a brush. I own I have riot, as yet, any where met with those grand and simple works of art, that are 'o amaze one, ami whose sight one is to be the better for: but those of nature have astonished me beyond expression. In our little journey up to the Grande Chartreuse I do not remember to have gone ten paces without an exclamation, that there was no restraining. Not a precipice, not a torrent, not a cliff, but is pregnant with religion and poetry. There are certain scenes that would awe an atheist into belief, without the help of other argument. One need not have a very fantastic imagination to see spirits there at noon-day: you have death perpetually before your eyes; only so far removed, as to compose the mind without frighting il. I am well persuaded St. Bruno was a man of no common genius, to choose such a situation for iiie retirement; and perhaps should have been a disciple of his, had I been born in his time. You may believe Abelard ar.d Heloisc were not forgot urwn tlii-. oecasion: if I do not mistake, I saw you
too every now and then at a distanec among t'.e trees; il me semble, que j'ai ru ce chiende visage Id quelquc part. 'You seemed to call to me from the other side of the precipice, but the noise of the river below was so great, that I really could not distinguish what you said; it seemed to have a eadence like verse. In your next you will be so good to let me know what it was. The week we hare since passed among the Alps, has not equalled the single day upon that mountain, because the winter was rather too far advanced, and the weathera little foggy. However, it did not want its beauties; the savage rudeness of the view is inconceivable without seeing it: I reckoned, in one day, thirteen cascades, the least of which was, I daresay, one hundred feet in height. I had Livy in the chaise with me, and beheld his "A'm's ecclo proft immistte, tecta informia impositarvpUms, pecan jumentaque tarrida frigore, homines inlonsi st inculti, animalia inanimaquc omnia rigcntiagelu: omnia confragosa, pr&rupta>fue." The erratum that inhabit them are, in all res1iects, below humanity; and most of them, especially women, haw the tumidum guttur, which they call goscio. Moot Cenis, I confess, carries the permission mountains have of hrin.; frightful rather too far; and iu horrors were aecompanied with too much danger to give one time to reflect upon their beauties. There is a family of the Alpine monsters I have mentioned, upim its very top, that in the middle of vrintet calmly lay in their stock of provisions and firing, and so are buried in their hut for a month or two under the snow. When we were down it, and a little way into Piedmont, we began to find "Apricos quosdam colies, rieosqae prope aUtas, et jam kumano cultu digniora /oca." I read Silius IU&cus too, for the first time; and wished for you, according to custom.—We set out for Genoa in twc days' time.

At least, if they do not, they have a wry 3I taste; for I never beheld any thing more amiable: only figure to yourself a vast semicireular basin, full of fine blue sea, and vessels of all sorts aikl sizes, some sailing out, some coming in, and others at anchor; and all around it palaces andchureho peeping over one another's heads, gardens, und marble terraces full of orange and cypress toofountains, and trellis-works covered with virtn, which altogether compose the grandest of theatres. This is the first coup d'oeil, and is almost all I aa jc" able to give you an aceomtt of, for we arrived lati last night. To-day was, luckily, a great festival, and in the morning we resorted to the church of the Madonna delle Vigne, to put up our little oritona; (I believe I forgot to tell you that we have been sometime converts to the holy catholic church,) we found our lady richly drest out, with a crown of diamonds on her head, another Upon the child's, and u constellation of wax lights jrnntg before them: shortly after came the doge, in nu robes of crimson damask, and a cap of the 4aine, followed by the senate in black. Upon his tpproach, began a fine concert of musie, and among :he rest two eunuchs' voices, that were a perfect Irast to ears that had heard nothing but French >peras far a year. We listened to this, and breathtj nothing but tncense for two hours. The doge « a very tall, lean, stately, old figure, called Conliantinu Balbi; and the ser,ate seem to have been .nade upon the same mode!. They said their prayers, and heard nn absurd whit; friar preach, with •qua! devotion. After this we went to the Annonviata, a church huiit by the family Lomellini, and uelon>nng to it; which is, indeed, a most stately Uructu re! the inside wholly marble of various kinds, except where gold and painting take its place.— From hence to the pal&zzo Doria. I should make you sick of marble, if I told you how it was lavished here upon the porticos, the ballustradea, and terraces, the lowest of which extends quite to the n:,. The inside is by no means answerable to the outward magnificence; the furniture sermg to be as old as the founder of the family.* Their great embossed silver- tables tell you, in bas-relief, his victories at sea, how he entertained the emperor Charles, and how he refused the sovereignty of the commonwealth when it was offered him; the rest is old-fashioned velvet chairs, and Gothic tapestry. The rest of the day has been spent, much to our hearts' content, in cursing French music and architecture, and in singing the praises of Italy. We find this place so very fine, that we are in fear of finding nothing finer. We are fallen in love with the Mediterranean sea, and hold your lakes and your rivers in vast contempt. This is

Thai city, (though the capital ofadutehy) made so frippery an appearance, that instead of spending some days there, as had been intended, we only dined, [and went on to Parma; stayed there all the following day, which was passed in visiting the fa.mous works of Corregio in the Dome, and other churches.—The fine gallery of pictures, that once .belonged to the Dukes of Parma, is no more here; the King of Naples has carried it all thither, and the city had not merit enough to detain us any longer, so we proceeded through Reggio to Mode? na; this, though the residence of its duke, is an ill-built melancholy place, all of brick, as arc most of the towns in this part of Lombardy: he himself lives in a private manner, with very little appearance of a court about him; he has one of the noblest collections of paintings in the world, which entertained us extremely well the rest of that day and part of the next: and in the afternoon we came to Bologna: so now you may wish us joy of being in the dominions of his Holiness. This is a populous city, and of great extent: all the streets have porticos on both sides, such as surround a part of Covent Garden, a great relief in summer time in such a climate; and from one of the principal gates to a church of the Vtrgin, (where is a wonder-working picture, at three miles distance) runs a corridor of the same sort, lately finished, and, indeed, a most extraordinary performance. The churches here are more remarkable for their paintings than architecture, being mostly old structures of brick; bufthepalaces are numerous, and fine enough to supply us with somewhat worth seeing from morning till night. The country of Lombardy, hitherto, is one of the most hcantiful imaginable; the roads broad, exactly straight, and on either hand vast plantations of treen, chiofly mulberries and olives, and not a tree without a vine twining about it and spreading among its branches. This scene, indeed, which must be the most lovely in the world during the proper season, is at present all deformed by the winter, which here is rigorous enough for the time it lasts; but one still sees the skeleton of a charming place, and reaps the benefit of its product; for the fruits and provisions are admirable: in short, you find every thing that luxury can desire, in perfection. We have now been here a week, and shall stay some httle time longer. We are at the foot of the Appemnc mountains; it will take up three days to eross them; and then we shall come to Florence, where we shall pass the Christmas.
