Who doesn't loathe being criticized? Be it your friends, acquaintances, parents, children, spouse, boss, or even co-workers, no one is spared from criticism. However, whenever given an opportunity, these people do not leave any opportunity to pop out from nowhere and start finding faults in you. Criticism usually comes through comments, but it is very much possible to receive it via a look, a sigh, or even a silence. While you can handle criticism from your family and well-wishers, accepting criticism at work turns to be a more difficult job. That's where the problem begins. How many times have you received a not-so-good or a negative feedback from your seniors and sulked over it? If it's been a number of times, you know how intolerant it becomes. Although some people get accustomed to accepting criticism and using it to their benefits, there are others who just cannot accept criticism, come what may. Only if you think from the other perspective, you will realize how valuable criticism can actually be. Not only will it help you identify your errors and fix them, but you can even plan a future venture in a better manner. However, handling criticism, in the first instance, is essential before you begin jotting down points for your future projects. For, taking in too much of increased stress and tension at work can result in more criticism, thereby leading to reduced morale and conflicts at the workplace. Check out how you can handle criticism effectively and use it for your personal development.
Handling Criticism
Listen & Acknowledge
Irrespective of whether you like it or not, acknowledge the criticism that's coming your way. Do not take any step that shows your rejection and never behave as though you aren't listening. Plus, avoid jumping instantly to a conclusion and offending your critic, simply because you are being judged that way. Instead, you can anytime be a little gentle and make statements, like "I didn't know you felt that way. Thanks for bringing it to my attention". Even if you do not agree with the statement made, the other person will be assured that you have heard him and understood the problem.
Gather More Information
As a general rule, it isn't right that you acknowledge criticism and apologize for your faults. Rather, you should inquire and explore the main cause behind it. Talk to the concerned person and ask him what made him come to this conclusion. Even if it may turn out painful for you, be prepared to listen to the problem. Though you may not be happy with the response, but you can at least think over improving the situation and try clearing the atmosphere.
Place Your Perspective
Regardless of what the criticism is, positive or negative, do not let the situation subside simply by accepting your fault and rectifying it right away. Just like you had given the other person a chance to talk out his thoughts, give yourself the same opportunity to place your views as well. Include your side of the story also stating how you feel about the entire scenario and admit that you will take all necessary steps to rectify the situation, even if you aren't convinced with the explanations.
Find Ways to Confess
It might have been just a day when you weren't feeling good, or had a fight back home with your wife. And hence, you splurged out your frustration on your colleague, not realizing that you were being extremely short-tempered. Though it was a very small point, but finding a way to agree to your criticism and admiting your mistake can anytime improve conditions and get things back on track. Talk to the concerned colleague and tell him that it had nothing to do with him and that you weren't aware that it would result in such a rude behavior. Be it a small argument or a large disagreement, finding a common ground can work wonders for your professional life, if not any other.
Your discussion may not always result in a happy ending. There are people who just don't seem to accept their mistake. In such a situation, if you try emphasizing on your viewpoint, struggling to prove yourself right, you will never come to any conclusion. Therefore, call the other person and ensure him that you wouldn't display such a behavior again in the future. Again, if it was your mistake, comfort your colleague about being careful from next time. After all, it's all about compromises from both sides that will be of benefit to everyone concerned. However, in case it was your boss's criticism that has been hurting you all the while, trying to come to a compromise with him would not be feasible; hence, judge the situation accordingly and follow what's most logical.
Though criticism can be disappointing, but it is one of the best keys for growing rapidly and performing better. Accept it the way it comes and wait to see how fruitful it turns out to be.

Green Onion Cakes, a photo by raise my voice on Flickr.
Left unsatisfied by my lunch, I had a mid-afternoon snack of Vietnamese coffee ($4.50) and a green onion cake ($5).
I viewed this as partial redemption for the casino. The coffee was sweet and strong, while the onion cakes - there were two - were crispy and salty and flavourful. A few pieces were a tad too greasy, but I loved how crunchy most of them were.
I would definitely recommend the onion cakes to be ordered alongside any of the Chinese menu dishes.

Just kidding, I also got popcorn, a t-shirt, 2 drinks spiled on me and the chance to chat with most the Jalopiniati. Oh also I met up with fellow Opponaut Dave Burnett( aka. "Puppyknuckles") and drove his 2012 Mustang 5.0, more on that later.
The opening party for the 2nd annual Jalopnik Film Festival(JFF 2.0 from here on out) was held at Classic Car Club Manhattan the night before the screenings. The winning submission from Volvo's contest was shown to the crowd and I was quite impressed. It was beautifully shot, the acting was excellent and the concept was clearly well thought out. Might have been a bit predictable but when it comes to automotive short films, you're not exactly re-inventing the wheel.
Now I didn't know a soul there which was a little awkward a first given that it seemed like much of the crowd was composed of Gawker employees. After the film was shown I spent most of my time looking for Doug because I wanted to talk him into letting me drive the Ferrari. Though I didn't see him, there were a number of guys looking very DeMuro-esque, I assume they were part of a fan club or something.
I did cross paths with Ballaban, Okulski, Hardigree, Musial and Spinelli. All of them were very friendly, probably because of the copious amounts of Blinker Fluid they'd been consuming. If there's one way to make sure a bunch of
automotive nerds enthusiasts have a good time at an event where most of the people haven't met, it's to make sure that there's no shortage of social lubrication. I'm glad this was the strategy because it totally worked, I had a great time chatting with the guys who are responsible for giving me an outlet for my automotive related ramblings.
I snapped a few pictures, chatted with a couple folks about Oppositelock and cars and who knows what else, the Blinker Fluid had taken hold rather quickly. Having waited in the longest men's restroom line in history and hors d'oeuvres in short supply, I decided to call it a night knowing full well that I'd be doing it all over again the following day.
Day 2.
I got to Nitehawk Cinema just shy of 6pm, enough time to snap a couple of shitty pics of the cars on the street and grab a drink prior to the 3 hour screening. I didn't recognize anyone there, apparently Tavarish was out on the street taking pictures, Andrew Collins was around as were the RCR guys but I don't have the slightest clue what they look like. I just went in, got my free t-shirt, a glass of tequila and sat down, ready to be entertained.
Some of the films being shown I had already seen given that I follow Petrolicious, /Drive and Regular Car Reviews like nearly deaf trust fund kids follow Phish.
I should mention that my expectations might have been a little high coming into this. My background is in film and I have a tendency to hold things to a very high standard. That being said I submitted two pieces to the festival and neither were chosen so I expected the work that had been chosen to be really good. I'd seen "Ignition" the night before but it was good to watch it in a theater with proper sound and ambiance.
The second film was "Nagoya Streets" which was a montage of lowrider cars in Japan set to a decent beat. Pretty cool I guess but not really my thing, I was glad they kept it short. Editing is everything in film and nothing kills a piece quicker than it being too long, something even the most amateur filmmaker should remember above all else.
The third film was Petrolicious' ode to the glorious Ferrari 250 GTO. I've watched this short many times on YouTube but there's nothing like seeing and perhaps more importantly, hearing, a film on a proper screen. Petrolicious is on another level when it comes to car content, the stories they tell and the cars they feature are hands down the best. It was an absolute joy to experience their work in that setting and it was easily my 2nd favorite moment of the night.
You might be saying to yourself, "but wait, if their work is the best then how can that be your second favorite moment of the night?! What are you even talking about?! Do you know what it means to be the best?! It means there's nothing better, nothing!"
Well here's the thing, while I love beautifully captured content, I love funny content even more. Just about anybody with quality camera equipment and access to some pretty vehicles can go out and make content that's just as good as Petrolicious. I'm not belittling their work, it's just the reality of the world we live in. They have a knack for choosing really interesting people to interview and for that the get my respect.
However, it's a lot harder to go out and make something great with not so professional grade equipment and lack of financial backing. It's why I like Doug's videos and why I think there's no excuse for big companies to be putting out subpar content(looking at you Edmunds, AutoTrader, Cars.com etc. etc.). What I'm getting to is why my favorite moment of the night is when "Ayrton's Wish"(good but felt like a PR film for his foundation and Sony)ended because RCR's BMW 330Ci video followed it.
Watching their amazingly amateur work on the big screen reinforced my belief that good writing and good audio are paramount when it comes to filmmaking. You don't have to have the fanciest camera or most insane shots to have a great piece or work. Budgets give you access to those things but a big budget isn't indicative of quality, just look at Michael Bay's career. The RCR guys make do with what they have and while they may eventually get a sponsor, giving them access to dollys, lighting packages and 4K cameras, I don't think they need any of that. Hell, the DIY nature of their videos is a big part of what makes them so fucking great, that and the hilarious, dead on breakdowns of many a cultural icon. They got my vote for the audience award, don't know if they won but that'd be pretty rad if they did.
Following the high of the RCR short was the low of the night. Remember earlier when I said editing is really, really important and that nothing kills a piece of work quicker than it being too long? Well "Where They Raced" was way too fucking long. Really interesting subject matter, especially given that I live in Los Angeles but goddamn, I felt like the thing was never gonna end! I'm not trying to be mean or belittle anyone's work but this was just not a festival quality film. Where RCR doesn't need good equipment to be relevant, this low quality Ken Burn's knock off needed everything. Better cameras, better direction, editing, lighting, audio, graphics. The only highlights were some of the people whose stories were told but even then, they were awkward and not engaging. I was glad I had my complimentary entree to eat during this film but that only took about 10 minutes out of what felt like an hour and a half.
When it finally did end, I felt like I'd been through the wringer. I was questioning my life choices, unsure if I was cut out to be part of the automotive world given that I just couldn't stomach such long winded pieces that rely heavily on nostalgia. Then a short about turbine trucks racing on the salt flats came on and my heart told my brain to shut up, just enjoy the ride.
And so I did.
Turbine Truck vs. Turbine Chopper, FY Racing and APEX were all visually stunning. APEX was the best looking piece of the night given that it was shot in 4K but the /Drive guys. It was a rough cut of a yet to be finished documentary so obviously it had some flaws but for the most part I thought it was damn good.
FY Racing told the story of what it's like to be an unsponsored rally team, something I've always found fascinating. The guys on the team were damn funny, there was a natural ease to being in front of the camera which goes a long way. Would be pretty cool to see a whole season of television devoted to these folks, not just the FY guys but multiple unsponsored racers.
Turbine Truck vs. Turbine Chopper wasn't really about anything but it did look really cool. The director was the first person to come up and introduce himself at the opening party so, kudos for being a nice guy with an appreciation for the areal camera work.
After the show was over I mingled around for a bit, part of me was still holding out hope to see Doug and the Ferrari but it was not to be. I snapped some more shitty pictures, swapped some business cards and then headed over to Skinny Dennis' to meet up with some friends that wouldn't know the difference between a Maxima and Avalon.
As I sipped on some unholy frozen bourbon treat I reflected on JFF 2.0 as a whole and if it'd been worth the trip. Travis had seemed surprised that I came out from California just to meet fellow Jalops and watch some content in a theater. While that had been part of the motivation for my cross country travel it wasn't the sole purpose. As is often the case with a trip, it's not the destination that's important but rather the journey. JFF 2.0 sparked the idea to go east for the week but so many other things made it worth it.
Prior to the festival I spent 3 days in Vermont with my family. I shot some driving footage with my old WRX(now under the care of my father) found my old Matchbox/Hotwheels collection(more on that soon), dug up some automotive artifacts and got to hang with my mom on her birthday. All in all I decided it had been well worth it to come out and I still had a whole day left in the city.
How I was to spend this day was decided later that night or early Friday morning, not quite sure. Either way, it was many drinks after my moment of reflection that Dave Burnett came and met me at the bar. I've been following Dave's on Oppositelock for awhile now and you should too. Anyway, when I first decided I was going to come east for JFF 2.0, I hit up Dave on Twitter and said we should shoot something with his Mustang.
Now I don't know about you but I think it's pretty damn cool that we live in a day and age when you can get in touch with a perfect stranger, propose that you meet up with the intended purpose being to drive their car. That this actually came to pass is a testament to human decency and makes me have some hope for the future. Mutually beneficial collaboration, it's a beautiful thing people.
With the knowledge that I had to get up and be useful the following day I said goodnight to Dave and his lovely girlfriend, headed for the Subway, desperate to avoid all temptations to get a late night snack before falling into a mellow coma.
When I finally awoke from my slumber I wasn't so much hungover as I was exhausted but there's really not much of a difference between the two at my age. A cup of $5 coffee and a $3 donut later I was ready for whatever was left of the day. Dave picked me up just as the clouds began to break and we headed to Greenpoint to a super secret riverside location.
Driving Dave's 5.0 affirmed my belief that the greatest pleasures in life are those of the simple persuasion. This car is positively spartan compared to most of the vehicles I've been driving lately and that added so much to the experience. No navigation, no lane departure warning, no heads up display, no bullshit. Just a big V8, a manual transmission and an aftermarket exhaust that'll make your pants shrink.
There's much more that I want to say about the 'Stang and my experience driving it around Brooklyn but I'm saving that for another article, one that'll be accompanied by a video complete with all the throaty exhaust noise ya'll can handle. Besides this piece has gone on far too long and I'm grasping at straws.
I do however have to keep my word and share one more bit of information. I told the RCR guys that I would ascertain "what this was the official car of" as they always do in their videos and after much deliberation I think I have an answer.
2012 Ford Mustang 5.0, the official car of catching your reflection in the mirror and confidently thinking, "yeah, I'm gonna be alright."

The Music of the Bush Era
The Music of the Bush Era
The theme of music is represented by work of Kurdish-Iraqi filmmaker Sherko Abbas: The music of the Bush era. in a split-screen video, using footage shot by his sister, a cellist in the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra, he demonstrates how in 2003 the US administration, instead of helping the orchestra to properly re-establish itself in Iraq, militarily airlifted the entire orchestra to Washington to perform once at the Kennedy Centre before President Bush. his film is critical of this futile propagandistic gesture, enacted in the shadow of the invasion in March of the year to promote neo-liberal values, and escape censure. The work was partially inspired by Slavoj Zizek's analysis in his Pervert's Guide to Ideology of the widespread ideological use of Beethoven's Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony.
Sherko Abbas Born in 1978, in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdish Autonomous Region, Iraq. Lives and works in United Kingdom. He studied Fine Art in Sulaymaniyah and graduated with Master of Fine arts at the Goldsmiths University of London in 2015. He employs the media of video, performance, text and sound in his practice dedicated to the sonic and visual memory and geopolitical situation of contemporary Iraq and Kurdistan in Particular. He has participated in many exhibitions including his work THE MUSIC OF BUSH ERA was Shown in last Iraqi pavilion (Archaic) in Venice Biennale 57th, the Bagdad mon amour in ICI Paris, Vernacularity, Alternativa International Visual Arts Festival in Gdansk, Poland and the Estrangement in showroom London, Freedom at the barricades?

Reddishblue Memories
Reddishblue Memories
Reddishblue Memories by Iván Argote, uses the artist's affective memories as part of an ongoing project of research and speculation based on a rumor associated with the history of George Eastman's Kodak company, and its switch from Kodachrome to Ektachrome. This was allegedly done for ideological reasons : in the late 1960's they realized that Kodachrome pictures turned reddish with time, and in the context of Cold War decided that the United States' archives could not end up with the enemy's color, and so developed the Ektachrome process, in which pictures eventually turn blue. The film, which was made in Ukraine as part of an art exhibition, is narrated simultaneously in Ukrainian by Oxana Shachko founder of Femen, and in Spanish by Ivan Argote himself. In the film, many issues concerning the relationship in between colors and politics raise, as orange revolution, white and black armies, purple and red revolutions in South America.
IvaÌn Argote (BogotaÌ, 1983, lives in Paris) works explore the relationship in between history, politics and the construction of our own subjectivities. His films, sculptures, videos, collages, and public space installations temps to generate questions about how we relate to the others, to the state, to patrimony and traditions. His works are critics, sometimes anti-establishment, and deal with the idea of bringing affects to the politics, and politics to the affects with a strong and tender tone.

Newsreel 63 - The train of Shadows
Newsreel 63 - The train of Shadows
Newsreel 63 follows newsreel-related practices and tries to position and understand a particular image a shred of video taken on the once famous Belgrade - Ljubljana rail-line, where refugees now travel not in couchettes but between the trains wheels. Newsreel 63 drifts into a visual investigation of railways and explores its historical, social and political narrative. The essayistic and associative elements of Newsreel 63 link this historical narrative to our pursuit of happiness, the idea of voyage in the current social constellation, where our longing for happiness is all too often tied to the idea of travelling somewhere or indeed the need to secure the means for mere basic survival.

The Celluloid Woman
The Celluloid Woman
This is a meta-filming attempt to represent a failure. Conceptual challenge of a cinematographer who had to deal with passionate archivist, who works in the Film archive, uncompromisingly Film archivist forgetting the cinematic result demanded by the filmmaker, An archivist who belongs to celluloid age, still works with celluloid, starts confronting about the medium and time. Does the spectator really realise the conceptual mistake, or are they decided to go with a flow designed by filmmaker?This film eternally about director`s turbulent relationship with the character Margarita sosa. The short movie is divided into 4 movements, every movement is dedicated to a specific moment of cinema, but it is also a metaphor of your relationship with your subject. Movement 1: creation. Margarita speaks about the birth of cinema. It is a metaphor of beginning of the film first approach to the director`s character. Movement 2: preservation. Margarita speaks about preservation. It is a metaphor of the director is trying to keep a good relationship with his character. Movement 3: destruction. Margarita speaks about censorship (that is a destructive force). It is a metaphor of destroying the director`s relationship with the celluloid woman.

The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground. Through long static takes, the film develops a contemplative, hypnotic experience, akin to paintings that move, mixing live action and still photography (shot on iPhone) and hand-drawn images.

Vilgiskoddeoayvinyarvi: Wolf Lake on the Mountains
Vilgiskoddeoayvinyarvi: Wolf Lake on the Mountains
We follow Viktor Koslovsky, a scientist still working at the otherwise abandoned Kola Super-Deep Borehole, a geological research station "at the border of everything†in north-west Russia. He tells of the history of this former cold-war project and of his current research which he describes as "listening to the past in order to hear the future.†The Kola Super-Deep Borehole (KSD) is the deepest man-made hole on earth – more than 12 km deep. It was a Soviet geology research project started during the Cold War. In addition to gathering data about the geology of the earth`s crust it formed part of Project Globus, a network of seismic listening stations which was to act as an early-warning system for natural disasters as well as for monitoring enemy nuclear tests. After the fall of the Soviet Union the project was slowly wound up and the site was abandoned in 2008. The rock strata that are visible in the core samples extracted from the borehole are seemingly inert to humans but on another time-scale they are very much alive. They tell the story of the formation of the earth and of ultra-slow processes that are still taking place within the earth`s crust. Thinking at this geological timescale puts human endeavour and progress into perspective, the Kola Super Deep becomes merely a pin-prick into the body of the earth. Still, the image of drilling so deep into the earth inflamed the imagination of evangelical Christians with an image of Hell. The sounds of screams emanating from the inferno circulated on the internet purporting to have been recorded by the Russian scientists – probably a montage of horror-film soundtracks. The layers of rock penetrated by the drill resound with Dante`s decent into the Inferno with Virgil as his guide – where each layer or circle of Hell is reserved for different kinds of sinners, each with their own story. In which circle of Hell can the conspiracy theorists be found? Which is reserved for the climate change deniers? At the KSD site, next to a lake called Vilgiskoddeoayvinyarvi ('Wolf lake on the mountains' in Sà mi language), we meet Viktor. Ever since the station shut down, Viktor has stayed on-site as much as possible, carrying on the work started by Dr. Huberman, the founder of the project. He recounts the history of the KSD, relating it to other cold-war science projects, about the geology and history of the area, and of his experiences living there alone. He guides us around the ruined site, introducing his living quarters, his small laboratory and of course the borehole itself. He explains his work, listening to vibrations deep within the earth, linking geology with Sami shamanism and divination.
Justin Bennett (UK, 1964, based in The Hague) works with sound and image. Trained in sculpture and electronic music, he uses drawing, video, sculpture, and a diverse array of sound forms in his research. One recurrent theme is our experience of archticture, urban development, and the (un)built space. He employs sound in order to render it audible as well as palpable: in his work, listening carefully provides a radically different way of seeing and experiencing. Bennett`s recording of sound is comparable with the shooting of video. He uses various microphones to change perspectives – like camera lenses. The microphones – the listener`s points-of-hearing – move through a city, a street, a windy Russian tundra, or the different-sounding spaces of a building. In many of Bennett`s works and installations sound is complemented by video images that affect the experience of the visitor differenty again. In some of his research projects the audiovisual material is juxtaposed with voice-overs and drawings, mapping space, movement, sound, magnetic fields, and so forth, through language and diagrams. Thus a reciprocity is created between various forms of expression: a drawing or a text can be a score; and sound and image become ways of drawing and writing. This way, Bennett`s work is also a research into sound and image as specific media, and an exploration of the ways in which they can be used and experienced. His way of working sparkles unexpected complementarities, synaesthetics, collisions and manipulations of the mind.

Watch the Skies
Watch the Skies
Watch the Skies is an encounter with an unworldly past and present. It is likewise an encounter with the science fiction film music of the cold war. In 1951 a flying craft encircled the globe traveling at 4000 miles an hour and landed in Washington, D.C. to meet actress Patricia Neal. Meanwhile, at the North Pole a handful of American soldiers and civilians met the first invasion from another planet. As unlikely as it might seem, the origin of these occurrences may be found in what a pilot, flying near Mount Rainier, reportedly saw and what a rancher found northwest of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Watch the Skies is a road trip and rendezvous with the expanses of the unknown and the skies of New Mexico.

Synopsis, « Morivivà» Documentary 36:40 Min, 2017. An immersive film plunging us somewhere between reality and a certain expressionist estrangement in its disheveled portrait of a family. Morivivàreflects a social reality for some rural areas of Cuba, in which poverty, fear, violence, possession and even santerÃa and superstitions take center stage in a day-to-day life that is lived on the edge. Brayan and Kiki are the third and fourth generations of their Cuban household. Situations of violence are the daily bread. Sometimes they have to take the role of the adults to avoid problems between real adults. In the middle of the countryside where the children live, they entertain a close relationship with nature. They breed animals that serve not only as food or pets, but also for the Santeria rituals they practice regularly.

Nell'insonnia di avere in sorte la luce
Nell'insonnia di avere in sorte la luce
"Nell`insonnia di avere in sorte la luce" is a journey between Italy and Ireland, an atlas of different languages and places that display the possibilities of contemporary cinema as a place of endless exploration. This movie (filmed mostly in Ireland, in archaeological sites of interest as Hill of Tara or Glendalough) is an attempt to present an idea of cinema before the invention of cinema itself, connecting the mythical Ogham alphabet (engraved on the surface of the stones) with the practice of experimental cinema (cameraless movies) and also with Italian avant-garde artists like Antonio Burri, Paolo Gioli, Corrado Costa, Emilio Villa, Stefano Scodanibbio, Osvaldo Licini. By doing that, Giorgiomaria Cornelio and Lucamatteo Rossi tried to create a map of meanings, inspired by Aby Warburg`s "Mnemosyne Atlas".
Giorgiomaria Cornelio (14th January 1997) and Lucamatteo Rossi (3rd December 1996) founded the atlas Navegasión in 2016. The same year they presented the film "Every bush a god that burns" on the 52nd edition of the International Film Festival of Pesaro and won the ISPEC CINEMA Special Award Locarno 2016 (the film has been also included in the selection of Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin 2018). In parallel with their second film (Nell-insonnia di avere in sorte la luce"), they curated the exhibition "Like the grave of a stone, like the cradle of a star" which was hosted in the Italian gallery Philosofarte, in the Marienbad Film Festival and in Trinity College Dublin, where they both study. They also collaborated with Franko B in the performance "Playtime" and the collective exhibition "Young at heart, old on the skin". Giorgiomaria is also a writer. His articles have been published in blogs and magazines such as ArtNoise, Nazione Indiana, Le Parole e le Cose, Anterem, Il Manifesto, Il Tascabile, Doppiozero. He is the curator of the online film catalogue "La Camera Ardente" (The burning Camera).
When the staff of the AfricaMuseum destroys the very dioramas they used to guard for decades, a colonial worldview is demolished. What remains are dead animals staring at you amidst ecocide. The violent destruction forms an allegory of museological and ecological relations. Diorama literally means "through that which is seen". It is a window which wants to suggest life as truthful as possible through death. The diorama then, becomes a still life: a Vanitas. So still, that the sculptural becomes pictorial, until men enter the broken window and become part of the nature morte. Men animate death through caress and tear the animals loose from a morbid decorum that offered them verisimilitude of an obsolete landscape.

So, who knows more about the man and his integrity - his dad or this guy? From what I've read about Buffett, I don't think he'd let someone take over (even family) if he didn't trust them. https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/author/beau-hodai/author of things like:America Eats its Young: Arizona Communities Embrace Use of Private Prison Employees in Drug Raids at Public SchoolsI didn't even bother to read the article, for what it's worth. I just know that anything with that title is probably super political (and anything super political is also a super waste of time).
Howard G. Buffett Foundation - Annual Report 2017.Especially page 1 may be worth your time. So, somehow it may be old news - perhaps we just didn't know, nor discussed it earlier. Personally, I'm puzzled about formal & real support of law enforcement can be accepted as charital activity.

November 14, 2018
Old pipes – and the quality of Kingaroy's water supply – have been blamed for recent positive tests for legionella bacteria at the Lady Bjelke-Petersen Community Hospital in Kingaroy.
Since February 2017, quarterly testing of water samples has been conducted in all Queensland hospitals for the bacteria, which in some circumstances can prove deadly.
The Lady Bjelke-Petersen Community Hospital was singled out in media reports on Wednesday after legionella was detected in all 22 water samples taken at the facility during the second quarter of this year.
During the first half of 2018, 35 of the 40 samples tested at the hospital tested positive to the bacteria.
Legionella was also detected during the same period in samples from Cherbourg, Murgon, Wondai and Kingaroy public hospitals (see table, below).
Only Nanango Hospital recorded no detections in the samples taken.
Lady Bjelke-Petersen Community Hospital CEO Prof Mark Radford told southburnett.com.au the hospital operators took the issue of legionella "very, very seriously".
"The health of our patients and staff is the top priority," he said.
Prof Radford said legionella was a common problem in all Queensland – in fact, all Australian – hospitals.
He said the issue with the Lady Bjelke-Petersen Hospital was linked to the very old water pipes in the building and the quality of the Kingaroy water supply.
"Dead ends" in the old pipes were allowing small ponds of water to stagnate.
To overcome this, the water was being regularly tested and the pipes flushed to clear them out.
Prof Radford said the hospital had a water management plan in place once any positive findings occurred.
If water from a tap tested positive to legionella, it was immediately isolated and appropriate action taken; ie. the connecting pipe flushed.
Prof Radford said he had been working with the South Burnett Regional Council (the owners of the hospital building) to look into the water pipes.
The operators of the hospital were also liaising with Queensland Health to ensure all timely measures were being taken to protect patient and staff health.
South Burnett Council CEO Mark Pitt said the results were being taken very seriously, and testing of the water was happening very regularly – possibly more often than required by law.
"All parties are working co-operatively to manage the issue," he said.
He said a lot of the "dead end" pipes in parts of the building which were not being used had been isolated.
As well, filters were being installed on taps as an interim measure.
"We're probably being over-cautious, but in reality you can't be too cautious," he said.
"Public safety is absolutely the paramount issue."
Mr Pitt said Council has been having meetings with the hospital operators to discuss "what needs to be done going forward".
Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said it was "frightening" that 170 hospitals and health centres across Queensland had found traces of legionella in water samples.
"One of my local hospitals is in that list," she said.
"A hospital is a place that we should go to get better, not to get sick.
"I'm definitely calling on the Health Minister and the Premier to reassure Queenslanders that they've got this under control."
She said the Health Minister's response on Wednesday morning was "very lacking".
UPDATE November 15:
South Burnett mayor Keith Campbell said the health and safety of patients and staff at the hospital were Council's top priorities.
"Council and the hospital are working collaboratively to action and resolve this situation," he said.
"Old pipes in disused parts of the building have been identified as locations that may promote Legionella colonisation and growth.
"These disused pipes have been isolated and filters have been installed on all in-use taps, for example.
"Hot flushing of pipework in undertaken on a weekly basis."
Council will continue to meet with the hospital operator to discuss and implement further actions to resolve legionella bacteria risks.

Are You Subject to the New PCORI Fees?
July 17, 2013
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) established the nonprofit Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to promote research that will yield evidence on the effectiveness, benefits and harms of different medical treatment options.
To fund the PCORI, the PPACA imposes a fee for each policy or plan year ending on or after October 1, 2012, and before October 1, 2019. The fee applies to health insurers and employers who sponsor self-insured health plans, with the first one being due on July 31, 2013. Subsequently, the PCORI fee will be due no later than July 31 following the last day of the plan year.
The fee will be $1 per plan participant for the first plan year ending after September 30, 2012, and $2 per participant in succeeding years. For policy or plan years ending on or after October 1, 2014, the fee will be increased based on increases in the projected per capita amount of national health expenditures.
These fees are to be reported annually on Form 720, quarterly Federal Excise Tax return. The IRS has recently issued the new Form 720 and related instructions to encompass this fee.
If you are the sponsor of a self-insured plan, health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), or certain health flexible spending arrangement (FSA), you may be required to file the Form 720 and pay the PCORI fee. For plan years ending on dates on or between October 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the first payment is due by July 31, 2013.
Plans subject to the PCORI fee include:
- Medical plans
- Prescription drug plans
- Self-insured dental or vision plans, if provided without a separate election or premium charges
- Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs)
- Retiree-only health plans
Plans exempt from the PCORI fee:
- Separate insured dental and vision plans
- Self-insured dental or vision plans, if subject to separate coverage elections and employee contributions
- Health savings accounts (HSAs)
- Most flexible spending accounts (FSAs)
- Employee assistance programs (EAPs), wellness programs and disease management programs that do not provide "significant benefits in the nature of medical care or treatment"
There are numerous complexities to this provision of PPACA, as well as multiple methods for determining the number of covered lives on which the fee must be paid. Please contact JPS if you have questions about your compliance responsibilities relating to the PCORI fee.

By 2030, all 9.2 million of Canada's most prominent worker cohort—the baby boomers—will be of retirement age. This reality, in combination with a low fertility rate, is placing increasing economic and fiscal pressure on Canada. As such, Canada needs to identify solutions to replenish those exiting the workforce in order to maintain its high living standards.
Can't Go it Alone: Immigration Is Key to Canada's Growth Strategy evaluates how various solutions could help strengthen Canada's labour force and economy. The solutions assessed include welcoming more immigrants, improving the labour force participation of women, Indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities, boosting the fertility rate, and advances in technology such as automation and artificial intelligence.
Conference Board of Canada - Hi Tom,We really appreciate the review. We wanted to point out that the data in Chart 1 represent the annual contributions to Canada's labour force from the various demographic cohorts. So they are a portion of the immigration numbers and not the actual immigration numbers. You're correct about the levels of immigration, we had assumed about 300,000 today rising slowly to about 1 per cent of population over the long term. Thank you. Pedro Antunes, Chief Economist

Despite market turmoil during the summer–mainly because of announcements from the Federal Reserve that it was considering beginning to taper its bond purchases–corporate borrowers ultimately had a relatively stable 2013. In the full year, 81 global corporate issuers defaulted, relatively unchanged from 83 in 2012 (see table 1). These 81 defaulted issuers accounted for a total of $97.3 billion in debt, up from $86.7 billion in 2012.
Overall, credit quality and stability increased in 2013 (see table 6). The ratio of downgrades to upgrades decreased relative to 2012, though the average number of notches recorded among downgrades rose marginally to 1.385 from 1.375. The average number of notches for upgrades fell to 1.14 from 1.16 (see chart 13).

Estonian Minery Global and Russian Minery.ru plan to launch five industrial complexes for cryptocurrency mining in Eastern Siberia by October.
Eastern Siberia is caught in a crypto mining rush as cheap electricity, and suitable weather conditions attract both local and international investors eager to get into the lucrative mining business, Interfax reports.
Minery Global and Minery.ru plan to construct five mining farms close to the IrkutskEnergo hydropower station - three in Bratsk, one in Irkutsk, and one on Ust-Ilimsk. Total project capacity will be 55 MWh, with all complexes getting electricity from IrkutskEnergo through contracts with Bratsk Grid Co. According to the project documentation, the combined electricity costs will amount to $0.07 per KWh.
At present, the project initiators are working to obtain permissions and licenses from local authorities and develop Linux-based software for mining host management. Construction will start in May, and the facilities are expected to go online by October this year.
The companies claim this will become the largest legal mining platform in Russia and will provide hosting services to anyone wishing to jump on the crypto mining bandwagon.
Three critical factors make Eastern Siberia the region of choice for miners and crypto investors: cheap energy, chilly climate, and China's proximity.
Contrary to popular opinion, crypto mining is a cost-intensive business. Miners' expenses include several cost items, with electricity bills eating away the most substantial chunk of revenue alongside with cost of equipment updates and maintenance and space cooling systems.
Some people resort to stealing electricity to avoid paying huge bills. Such cases were recently registered in Tianjin in China and in Orenburg in Russia.
Electricity costs in Irkutsk, one of the largest cities in the region, are much lower than in other areas of the country: consumers pay one ruble ($0.015) for KWh. Currently, about 20,000 KWh go into mining one bitcoin, so in Moscow, it will cost $1,500, in London - $3650, and in Irkutsk something like $350. Commercial prices are higher but still much more attractive than in other locations.
The cold Siberian climate helps save some money on cooling systems for mining equipment as the weather conditions allow to cool the ASIC units naturally.
Last but not least, the Chinese border is located just 1,500 km away. This proximity helps to streamline logistics and reduce shipping costs for mining equipment that needs to be replaced annually. Fast delivery is vital for successful mining business as the difficulty of mining algorithms grows exponentially and requires more advanced hardware.

How Long Can Gov't Keep DNA?
A recent article in the Virginia Law Review caught my eye and is interesting reading for anyone concerned with long-term data preservation.
The article, by Penn State Professor David Kaye, is titled, "DNA Database Trawls and rhe Definition of a Search in Borian v. Mueller."
As most people know, the government collects DNA profiles from convicted offenders (and, in some cases, when people are arrested), and stores those DNA profiles in large databases. The databases are searched for matches against DNA samples recovered at crime scenes. The article addresses the question: how long can the information be kept in the database? In other words, "Is there no way an offender can escape 'lifelong genetic surveillance?' "
The First Circuit Court of Appeals held that there is essentially no limit to how long the government can keep DNA information in databases. That case was Borian v. Mueller. The article observes that the First Circuit concluded that a check of the database does not constitute a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment and, accordingly, is not subject to any constitutional limitation. This is because, under this interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, once the government acquires the DNA information, every review of the database constitutes only a minimal invasion of a person's privacy.
The broader e-discovery issue involves reuse of data. Once the government lawfully acquires data, can the government reuse that data? Kaye suggests that, in most instances, the answer is usually "yes." He writes: "a simple rule allowing reuse of data works well enough as long as the additional interests in the privacy of the information are either outside the scope of the Fourth Amendment or too tenuous to justify the usual need for individualized suspicion or warrants."

Thrift Shopping Finds
January 31, 2019
A couple of weeks ago I went thrift shopping with our features editor, Skylar Sharkey, again. We checked out Goodwill in Huntley, as well as Sparrow's Nest in Algonquin.
I found a lot of good stuff this time! Had such a great haul. I honestly think that I have a thrift shopping addiction. At Goodwill I was able to find a North Face fleece jacket in a magenta color, and it is a light coat, something good for the fall. I bought it for $13.99, which definitely shocked me because it looked brand new. I could not find the exact one that I bought online, but similar jackets ran for about $99-$119. I saved so much money from buying the jacket from Goodwill. I definitely needed a new one.
On the topic of jackets, Sparrow's Nest in Algonquin is the cutest store ever. The staff from my experience was so friendly. They have a larger selection of furniture versus clothing, but I was still able to find something good.
It was my first time going there, and I was able to find a faux black leather jacket for only a dollar. Each week from my understanding they have a different color of the week, and if you find an item of that color the item would be only a dollar.
I was happy to find out that the jacket I wanted was only a dollar. Once I brought it home, I already had some outfit ideas. It was one of the smartest purchases I have made, as I can wear it with almost anything.
I could pair it with leggings or jeans and either a t-shirt if I wanted to go for a more grunge look, or wear it under a cute darker colored dress for a more dressy look.
Going back to what I bought from Goodwill, I found a cropped heather grey sweater, one looking very similar to the one I wanted to buy before. I also found a grey and white plaid that matched it perfectly, so I was thinking of wearing that outfit with ripped jeans and Vans.
Skylar found a pair of jeans that looked so cute on her, and they go with almost everything. She found a graphic tee to wear with it that accentuated the outfit.
This proved to be another successful thrift shopping trip. Honestly, just the thrill of finding new stuff is definitely an adventure.
