In this second instalment of a three-part post, an anonymous contributor discusses the financial issues surrounding housing and sustaining a career in museums.
The week commencing 6th March 2018 has been marked in my calendar for some months. It is during this week that I will pay the final instalment on a credit card debt.
This debt has existed in one form or another since late 2012. At its peak the debt was a low five figure sum. At least 50% of the debt was directly associated with maintaining a museum career. The remaining <50% was indirectly associated with the museum career – that is, the debt was due to expenditure that did not directly support the museum career but due to occurrences that would not have happened without that career.
The thoughts that follow are based on my personal experience. I have no idea how typical my situation is since I am not aware of any studies on indebtedness by people working in the museum sector. However, from conversations with other museum workers, I do not think my experience is unique.
To provide context, I have been working in museums for over 20 years. I have had a mixture of temporary/project based jobs, freelance work as well as permanent jobs. The permanent jobs have ended though redundancy, leaving to advance my career or personal circumstances. Additionally (and I think this is key) I have never lived and worked in a major metropolitan area and my partner also works in museums.
Clearly I am not an emerging professional, but I am dealing with something that emerging may well come up against as their career progresses.
My experience is that the three requirements for relatively straightforward progression in a museum career – being able to apply for the right job at the right time in the right place – coincide very infrequently. This is especially true in a two museum worker household. The lack of career progression within a single institution is an issue, as is the frequency of fixed term contracts. When the only option for the 'right time' is "Now!" then compromises have to be made in the other two requirements. Often the compromise is in the 'right location' requirement.
It might be possible that the new work location will be within a commuting distance of a current home. I have never been in a situation where the new job is closer to my home than the preceding job. I have regularly shouldered additional costs of buying and running a car or regularly paid out for train expenses.
New jobs are often not within a commuting distance. Moving home, often over very long distances, has been a major feature of my museum career as well as many of my colleagues and friends who work in the sector. This is the cause of most of the debt I referred to above.
I have a record of the costs associated with the last home move associated with a change of jobs. The total costs were in excess of £5000. The major costs were the payments to a removal company plus the first month's rent + deposit for the house we were moving into. We were unable to find a property available to move into where there was no overlap in tenancies. For a short period our rent costs were doubled.
We did have income during this period including salary plus the return of the deposit from the house we were leaving. However I knew from the outset that I needed to have the full amount available to enable stress free cash flow.
It is true that some employers do pay moving costs when relocating for a job but these are usually on presentation of receipts after the move has taken place. Availability of money (or credit) during the move is therefore essential.
Admittedly this was a very expensive move due to the locations of the two jobs, but moving is still an expensive business whatever the distance. I brief trawl of web sites throws up the following figures: the average removal costs for a two bedroom house is c£600; the average rent for a two bedroom house outside London is £753 with a deposit of 1 months rent (at least); letting agents fees are (currently) around £200; the costs associated with house hunting (travel + hotels + food) can easily top £200. This brings a total of over £2500. Some of these outgoings might be reimbursed but the money does need to be available during the move.
All this assumes that there is only one months overlap between properties. It is possible that an overlap costs could be avoided if the tenancy dates happen to work well. This has never happened to me. Also I am aware of several colleagues whose overlap is considerably longer. This has been due to factors such as the time taken to sell a house or having to maintain two households before partners and children are able to undertake a move. The costs associated with running two households, plus the costs of travel for 'visits' can add many thousands of pounds to the total expense. The emotional cost also needs to be added to this
This has all been based on the assumption that homes are rented. I doubt whether the costs are less for those who buy. Expenses such as stamp duty, mortgage and lawyers fees may even make the costs higher.
There is a further option that I am aware that people working in museums (including myself) have taken. This is buying a house initially to live in but then renting it out when a job necessitates a move. In my case the rent income from the house that is owned contributes to the rent paid to the house I have moved into for work reasons.
Setting aside the moral issues surrounding the current buy-to-let market, I am essentially running a small business with the associated responsibilities. This not only involves the time actually running the business legally and effectively but also involves a good degree of cultural capital as I have had to work with accountants, lawyers and other professionals. This is undertaken in order to maintain a museum career.
Naturally people who do not work in museums do also have to move home for their jobs. However I feel that there are several factors associated with museum work that makes the situation quite specific to museum workers:
- lack of promotion opportunities within individual institutions
- the geographically dispersed nature of museums when compared to other industries
- the frequency of having to move home in order to maintain or progress a career.
- the specific skills of museum workers and the specific requirements of the job vacancies that do occur necessitating a mobile workforce
- the prevalence of fixed term/project based jobs
- low wages in museums creating a need to change jobs to get promotions in order to get a good standard of living
- low wages in museum leading to a need to borrow money to move
It would be interesting to know how many of these apparent issues can be evidentially supported.
Despite all this I do consider myself lucky. My debts only arose during my museum career rather than before it. I took my undergraduate degree before the introduction of tuition and maintenance loans. During my pre-job volunteer period I was able to claim housing and unemployment benefit as the Job Centre determined that volunteering was relevant training. Had I been carrying debts before I entered the profession then financing my career would have been considerably more difficult. Furthermore I am (somehow) credit worthy enough to be able to borrow money to fund these expenses and then use a complicated web of balance transfers to get a very low rate of interest (not something I would advise anybody to do as these 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' arrangements can quickly cause trouble if they are not carefully managed). These are all benefits that I have as a mature worker that an emerging professional may not have.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, these comments are based on personal experience and anecdote, but I do feel that there is a common issue here. A brief on-line survey may be useful to determine the prevalence of debt amongst museum workers. If this indicates that there is an issue then a more rigorous study and a comparison with other professional may be useful. Low salaries may be only one of the financial problems museum workers face.

About the Developer
Without a doubt, Leander Games are longstanding premium quality casino games developers. Although only established in 2008, the have a strong and reliable audience which has enabled them to have a solid grasp on the Latin American online gambling market. This company is most famous for creating LeGa which is a Remote Gaming Server, built to provide in-house and 3rd party games as a way of implementing a social gaming concept, whilst playing with real money. Glam or Sham is just one of their many innovative creations, which is bound to impress!
About the Game
This 5-reel and 50-payline slot-game is themed around fashionable women and their well-groomed pet pooches! These high maintenance women will be your new companion as you proceed through this slot-game to test your luck and fortune! Leander Games has made this slot exclusively to be a high rollers slot machine, where bets start from £50 a spin and go up to £2,500. Therefore, the rewards and prosperities up for grabs in this slot-game are immense and needs to be given a go before being completely discarded by the minimum bet. You are also able to set how many lines out of the 50 you want to play with, so you really can just play with one line if that suits your needs!
The symbols on the reels represent the theme of the luxurious lifestyle led by these women, they are: a brunette woman, a red-haired woman, a puppy, a kitten, the Glam or Sham logo, a shopping scene and a feud between two women. The two women will trigger the 500-coin jackpot when you spin 5 of either character, meaning you have twice the chance to strike upon this jackpot! The furry little animals are another focus as they will add a paw-fect 400 coins to your bankroll. The way in which the coin system works is as follows: the prizes of the game are represented in terms of coin values, so the amount that you are awarded with will be reflected with the bet you placed initially.
The Glam or Sham logo is the wild feature, which replaces all symbols on the reels, to help accumulate your winning combinations. This makes the above 400 and 500 jackpot bonuses even more luxurious and likely to happen! You will also obtain 10 free spins when you land 3 of the feud symbols anywhere on the reels. One more bonus feature up for grabs involves the shopping scene symbol. No longer fear to have a bad outfit day again, as matching 3 of these symbols unlocks the Perfect Outfit bonus. This bonus enters you into a pick me bonus game and you are asked to continuously click which accumulates cash until you create a matching pair.
The Verdict
Although this slot-game won't cater for a small budget, the amount of bonus features that are up for grabs makes it a very seductive game, and the fact this game offers 10 free spins for landing just 3 of the feud symbols, instead of it having to be 4 or 5 symbols, for us, this makes the game worthy of trying before discarding it completely!
Game rules can be found within game.

Regions of the United States of America.
The concept behind the United States is unique: come here to find a new life and opportunities for success. And, for the past 240 years, people from all over the world have come here, bringing with them distinct vocal characteristics and accents.
Even native-born Americans' vocal characteristics vary by where they call home, whether it be New England, Southern California or somewhere in between.
Most people believe that it is an "accent" that makes a person's speech different, but in fact, it's what experts call a "dialect," said Dr. Leslie E. Cochrane, a lecturer of Linguistics and English at the College of William & Mary.
"The language varieties that are used by people in the United States are not justaccents," she said. "They have their own grammatical rules at the levels of sound structure, word structure, sentence structure, and vocabulary; or what linguists call phonology, morphology, syntax, and the lexicon."
Dialects are influenced by the mixing of various cultures, Cochrane said. Originally, dialects of the English language in colonial America came from English-speaking settlers who themselves spoke with unique deviations of British English.
"On the east coast of the [United States] regional dialects still reflect some of the early settlement patterns," she said. "American English dialects have also been influenced by other languages. Cajun English in Louisiana, for instance, was influenced by French-speaking settlers from Canada. Since language is always changing, dialects in the United States will have their own distinct varieties."
Dialects are at times mistakenly connected to a person's level of "intelligence," Cochrane said. But, she points out that everyone speaks a particular dialect of their language—education and dialect cannot be assumed to be correlated.
"To look down on someone for their dialect means looking down on the identity that dialect is associated with," she said. "I earned my master's degree in linguistics at the University of Oxford, but no one expects me to speak a British English dialect as a result of my education since my identity remains American. Likewise, we need to reject the widespread idea that any dialect of American English is somehow less valid than any other."
Crystal Ditro, an auditor with the Department of the Navy said that she, as a teenager, was a victim of dialect-stereotyping when she moved to Colorado.
"I was raised in the South," she said. "Then I moved to Denver at 16-years-old. I would use terms like 'y'all' and 'ain't.' But after a few weeks at my new school, I realized that my classmates believed people who sounded like me were considered 'dumb,' 'ignorant' or 'uneducated' no matter how intelligent they actually were. So, I forced myself to change [my way of speaking] so that I could better 'fit in.' Now, most people assume that I'm a northerner when they first meet me."
Currently, Cochrane said, there are subtle transformations in American English dialects that many people may not be aware of.
"There are many changes in progress regarding the various dialects of American English," she said. "In some dialects, the vowels in "caught" and "cot" are becoming merged to the point that they sound the same. This kind of change is constantly happening in language. There are also shifts in the way we use words. The word like, for instance, was not always used in the same way as the word as. Nowadays, most people use it 'like' I just did in this sentence."
Since the dialects we speak are also tied to our identities, Cochrane said that there will always be variations of English spoken in America, even in the distant future, because change is a linguistic constant.
"I expect that there will always be differences in spoken English," she said. "And because language is always changing, we can expect that people in two centuries will not sound the way we do—just as we don't talk the way people did at the time of the American Revolution."
According to academic research, kids learning to lie is actually good for their cognitive development.

How to Sell LEED Apartments to Millennials
Millennials are environmentally conscious people. They are known to want to create a better future, to stand up for what they believe in, and to make positive changes in the world. They are the movers and shakers of today's generation. And although most millennials did not grow up with recycling and paying attention to their carbon footprint, news of climate change has quickly changed their mindset and the way they live their lives. The more educated millennials become on how they can make a difference and why, the more proactive they are.
Introducing LEED apartments. LEED apartments started with new developments and were most commonly found to be luxury, high end communities – communities that millennials could not afford yet. But as LEED designated communities become more common and enter the affordable housing market, the more opportunities millennials have to utilize LEED features if leasing professional are selling them to their full potential.
Reducing your carbon footprint is a selling factor that makes us feel good, but money speaks to millennials more than anything else. LEED features were created to reduce electricity and water usage, which subsequently reduces utility bills. A savvy leasing professional knows exactly what each resident can save in monthly expenses, because everyone likes the idea of saving money.
Millennials are also very health conscious. They are switching their diets to consume all natural and whole foods, and they are willing to pay more for ir. While there aren't LEED features that improve your diet, there are features that improve your air quality, which improves health factors such as allergies and asthma. Does your leasing team know how to sell this to the health conscious crowd?
LEED designated communities also have the cool factor that millennials gravitate toward. Pointing out features such as solar panels, programmable thermostats, and Energy Star appliances make millennials feel like they are living in an innovative community and that speaks to their creative and entrepreneurial spirits.
Lastly, and most importantly, educate prospects and residents (millennials or not) on what LEED means. Paint the picture that they should see when they read LEED designated apartment. Teach them what it means for them to live in a Gold, Silver, or Platinum designated community and how they too can make a difference in the environment just by choosing to live in a LEED apartment home.

To increase national health security against biothreats and protect public health, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will partner with Public Health Vaccines LLC of Cambridge, Massachusetts, to develop a potential vaccine against Marburg virus. No licensed vaccine for this virus exists today.
The Marburg virus is part of the family of hemorrhagic fever viruses that includes Ebola. The virus causes a similar illness to that of Ebola, and occurs most often in Africa. The Marburg virus was recognized in 1967 and since then multiple outbreaks have occurred with high mortality rates, most recently in 2017. In addition to the threat of naturally occurring infection, the Marburg virus, like Ebola, is deemed a potential bioterrorism threat by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, awarded an initial two-year, $10 million contract to Public Health Vaccines LLC to begin development of a vaccine to protect against Marburg infection.

State auditor criticizes Spokane County Assessor's Office
Mon., April 25, 2011
A newly released state audit report says the Spokane County Assessor's Office undervalued scores of properties in 2008 and 2009.
The report says new construction on 157 properties in the Cheney area was added to the tax rolls seven years late on average.
Seventy-one of the parcels had a value of more than $100,000, according to the state Auditor's Office.
In addition to those properties, which were pointed out in a whistleblower complaint by former appraiser Debi Mason, state auditors found 22 – among a sample of 85 – that were added to the tax rolls four years late on average.
Also, auditors found that 21 of 32 parcels valued at $2,000 or less were assessed incorrectly. The land had taxable structures worth $4,400 to $275,000.
Supervisors failed to detect computer coding errors that caused the inaccurate values, auditors said.
They blamed the late Cheney appraisals on staffing shortages that prevented reassignment of an injured appraiser who was unable to walk and take measurements.
Auditors said they didn't find any untaxed properties, and they were unable to determine the amount of lost property tax revenue from the late assessments. However, they said no taxpayers paid more than their fair share.
As to the incorrect values due to coding errors, auditors said they weren't able to determine the effect on individual property owners.

History Edit
Early LifeEdit
Kerchak was born in August, 1869 in the Jungles of Africa.
Later LifeEdit
During the Early 1880s Kerchak becomes the "king" of a tribal band of Mangani, a species of Great Ape intermediate between real life chimpanzees and gorillas. In 1888, Kerchak leads his band against Tarzan's marooned father and kills him; the infant Tarzan is saved by a female Mangani named Kala, who rears the baby and protects him against Kerchak. In October 1908, When Tarzan reaches adulthood, he fights and kills Kerchak and succeeds him as king of the apes.[1]
Burroughs's later Tarzan book Jungle Tales of Tarzan, which relates additional details of Tarzan's youth among the apes, is also set during the period of Kerchak's rule of the ape band. However, while the ape band is continually referenced as "the tribe of Kerchak," Kerchak himself does not appear in the book.
Disney VersionEdit
Kerchak has no role in the slaying of Tarzan's father but is portrayed as an over-protective leader of the ape group as well as the mate to Tarzan's adoptive mother, Kala. Kerchak shuns Tarzan during his childhood and only allows him to stay with the gorillas because Kala refuses to abandon him. Prior to this, however, he is shown as warm and loving, playing with his son. But after Sabor kills his child, Kerchak turns cold and hateful. He disdains Tarzan but gradually begins to accept him in adulthood after Tarzan proves himself by killing the leopard Sabor (responsible for killing Tarzan's parents, as well as Kerchak and Kala's son) and saving the group from the hunter Clayton (who leads a posse of poachers hoping to capture the apes and selling them for profit).
At the climax, when Kerchak helps the ape group fight against the poachers, he witnesses Tarzan getting shot on the arm by Clayton. Angered at this, Kerchak goes to attack Clayton, but gets fatally shot on the chest, much to Tarzan's anger and to Clayton's delight. After the final battle between Tarzan and Clayton (which ends with Clayton inadvertently cutting down the vines he's holding which leads himself to hang to his death), Kerchak passes his leadership position to Tarzan before dying of his injury, signifying his ultimate acceptance of him as both adopted son and a worthy successor.
Following real life apes, Disney also made Kerchak a silverback gorilla; which is the name given to mature male gorillas because of the silver hair covering their backs. He was voiced by actor Lance Henriksen.
The film's Kerchak is essentially a combination of the novel's Kerchak and another of the novel's ape characters, Tublat. In Burroughs's original story Tublat was Kala's mate, a fairly passive figure resentful of his foster-son Tarzan. The Kerchak of the film is closer in personality to Tublat than to the original Kerchak. However, in the spin-off television series, The Legend of Tarzan, Tublat appeared with a personality much like the original Kerchak, being violent and seeking revenge on Kerchak through Tarzan (being his successor as leader of the gorillas), having been cast out many years ago after he challenged Kerchak for leadership and lost.
Kerchak also appears briefly in the video game Kingdom Hearts. With no speaking lines, Kerchak first appears when Tarzan pleads with him and Kala to help him aid Sora, Donald and Goofy (in ape language, which the trio do not understand). Kerchak initially does not trust the trio, and matters are made worse when Clayton almost kills Terk, for the timely intervention of Donald (on whom Terk later develops a crush). However, Kerchak later comes to accept the trio after they defeat Clayton and his Heartless companion, the Stealth Sneak, and allows them access to the world's Keyhole, which Sora seals, protecting the world from the Heartless permanently.
In the original film Kerchak dies after being shot by Clayton, whilst in Kingdom Hearts he survives the fight. It is unknown if he has passed his leadership position onto Tarzan like he does in the film.

Rice Recipes
Volcano Fried Rice
With a naturally fragrant and nutty aroma, and its fiber-rich bran layer, Volcano Rice makes excellent fried rice richer in taste, and crispier texture. This recipe is very special because it uses one of Indonesia's unique traditional herb-spices, Kemferia Galanga, or Kencur in Indonesian language, with a camphor-ginger-galangal-like aroma. Just a little Kencur is all you need to give this fried rice a distinctive edge that will make everyone eating it wonder how you can cook your fried rice with such a wonderful aroma.
Preparation Time : 15 Mins Cooking Time : 45 MinsReady in : 60 Mins Servings : 3-4 People
Quantity and Ingredients :
- 300 g Volcano Rice
- 2 eggs
- 5 cloves garlic
- 8 cloves shallots
- 2 small red chilies (or more/less according to your taste)
6 candlenuts
1cm peeled kencur. This can be substituted by 3 cm galangal
8 pieces of kaffir lime leaves break into halves
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp grounded black pepper
5 tbsp rice bran oil or vegetables oil
Directions :
- Rinse and cook Volcano Rice according to its instructions.
- Meanwhile, pound garlic, shallots, chilies, candlenut, and kencur in a pestle and mortar until smooth, or alternatively use a food processor.
- Heat oil in a wok in a med-high heat, and subsequently add the made spice paste, salt, and pepper. Fry until the spices are fragrant for about 3 minutes.
- Add kaffir lime leaves, and cook for another 2 minutes until spices are well cooked.
- Turn heat to high, and add cooked Volcano Rice, until well combined for 3 minutes.
- Crack eggs one by one into the wok, and stir quickly so the eggs coat the rice evenly.
- TIPS: to make the rice crispier, stop stirring and leave it in the heat for a minute. The bottom rice will get crispy. With your frying spatula, take a small section rice and flip the crispy bottom part to the top. The more you repeat this, the more parts of the rice will get crispy.

9/11 changed us forever. Every year that passes brings back the same memories for me on 9/11. I remember where I was and what I was doing. I remember what I saw on TV when the planes hit the World Trade Centers. I remember the events that followed. I remember people walking looking for their loved ones and putting up pictures of their missing loved ones.
Now ten years later, the memories are still vivid. The enormity of the event does not change but it did change us forever. Now on most television channels, they are telling us of the shows …

The Nation
Chang Noi opines:
The Army seems to have its own view of the current situation in the country, and has defined for itself a prominent role in confronting this situation
This conclusion comes from various documents that are floating around, the authenticity of which has not been denied. It is confirmed by recent actions and policies which are consistent with this way of thinking.
The Army's analysis of the current situation goes like this. There is a "war for the people" in process, meaning a contest for popular support. On one side is the Army. On the other are politicians, and especially former communist activists who lurk in the background of party politics.
A generation ago, the Army won the cold war in Thailand by dragging the communist rebels back from the jungle to a normal life in the city. But, this analysis contends, the activists have never changed their way of thinking or forsaken their ambitions. They aim to use popular support to grab state power, and then to use state power to implement their own agenda, which includes the overthrow of the monarchy. Although they now seek popular support through the ballot box, this is not significantly different from the old guerrilla strategy of mobilising the villages.
Their tools now are the populist policies offered to the electorate. These policies are designed solely to win popular support and gain election to political office. They do not truly solve the problems of the people. Unless something is done to halt this trend, the Army analysis concludes, Thailand will find itself in the same situation as Nepal where Maoists have built massive popular support and are trying to replace the monarchy.
According to this view, the Army has no greater duty at present than fighting this new cold war. Threats to the country from the outside are insignificant, except for the intrusion of drugs and illegal immigrants. Even the situation in the far South is judged less serious. But the Army seems to be already on the defensive in this "war for the people". It feels it must "win back" the people, especially at the grassroots level.
Now, recently I blogged about the CIA report on Thailand from 1968:
The CIA on the Thai military:
There is a timelessness about modern Thai politics that is as comforting as it may be misleading. On the surface, nothing important seems to change. For 36 years, Thailand has been ruled by a tight coterie of military officers. In order to run the country, the military has maintained a profitable alliance with civilian politicians and bureaucrats, with whom it joined in 1932 to bring down the absolute monarchy. The civilians have exercised considerable influence, but the relationship has always been fundamentally one-sided. With the exception of a few short periods, the military establishment has called the tune.
Against its better instincts, the military oligarchy is taking its case to the Thai people. Although there is every reason to believe the military leaders can negotiate the transitional period with their hold on power intact, the subtle pressures that brought them this far may take them a good deal farther than they are presently prepared to go. A great deal will depend on how they run the elections, and, finally, on how well they do.
Sound familiar?
The CIA on the Left:
Of all the political groups that are now surfacing in Thailand, none faces the upcoming elections more dispirited, fragmented, or with slighter hopes than the Thai left. Harassed by the government and associated in the public mind with foreign interests, there is good reason to question whether once-influential leftist figures and parties can pull themselves together in time to be a factor in the elections. A number of the more prominent leftists, including some who have spent long years in government prisons for alleged Communist activities, will join government forces in the near future...
It is possible, however, that the left may do better in next year's elections than its current strength would suggest. Most of the leftist politicians come from the northeast, where regional identity is strongest in Thailand, and have managed through the years to identify themselves with the region's aspirations. Some of these politicians paid a high personal price during the 1950s for airing the northeast's grievances in Bangkok. It is entirely possible that they will reap their reward at the polls next year.
Chang Noi illuminates these points in the column.
The position of former Prime Minister Pridi Phanomyong, last of the promoters of the 1932 coup, is one additional factor on the left that could conceivably have some bearing on next year's election. Despite the fact he has spent the past 20 years exiled in Communist China, Pridi is still a name that has to be reckoned with in Thailand. As the country's best-known leftist, and the founder of its leading university, Pridi has become something of a legendary figure among intellectual circles in the capital. The amount of pro-Pridi sentiment in the country as a whole is difficult to determine, but judging by the regime's refusal to permit him to return to Thailand, it may still be a political factor. The revival of political activity in the country may give fresh inspiration to Pridi's periodic thoughts of leaving China. If he gets out, even if only to Western Europe, the weight of his voice and activities on behalf of opposition elements may exert some influence on the way the voting goes.
Even though this bit about Pridi is dated, I think it is important to include, because many on the reformist left and old left still consider Pridi their ideological godfather.
The CIA on the Center:
It is still too early to determine how many political parties will field candidates in the upcoming election. The government's political party law prohibits independent candidates, however, and therefore between now and the elections there may be a proliferation of small parties with little ideological standing and few direct ties to the past. In addition, there may be a number of second-echelon politicians with past connections to pro-Phibun and pro-Sarit parties(replace with minor pro-Thaksin and anti-Thaksin parties) who, not finding a home in the government's party, strike out on their own in the hope they can make a better deal after the elections. The electoral fortunes of these elements will depend on the local appeal of their candidates. Despite an electoral law that minimizes the influences of local-based politicians, splinter parties will probably manage to elect a few lower house representatives.
The CIA on the Issues:
The way the Thai voter casts his ballot next year is likely to be determined more by the personalities of the candidates and the impact of local or regional interests than by anything else. If past elections are any guide, the influence of substantive issues will be all but lost as the voting moves from Bangkok into the villages. Thai political parties have never managed to generate issues or a sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo that could precipitate a voter rebellion in the countryside. There is no indication, at this stage of the game at least, that they will be more successful this time.
I think this is important. I think regional consciousness will play a factor in the election. The idiots at The Nation think the election will be about Thaksin, vote-buying, and populist goodies. On the surface, this might be true, but I think there may be an underlying political-regional consciousness that will want to reject the patronizing attitude of the Bangkok elites and the Thai military that has continually disenfranchised them for decades.
This estimate, however, is not as firmly based as it may appear. First, a number of important if not revolutionary changes in the countryside have taken place in the ten years since Thailand's last election. New roads have opened up isolated areas, new markets have been created, mass communications methods have been introduced, and new patterns of living and perhaps of desires have been created in the villages. Even though the impact of these changes on the substance of rural life should not be overstated, there is little doubt that some of the insularity of the average Thai villager has been worn away in the past ten years.
I agree.
It is reasonable to assume, however, that although personalities and local interests will still be the most important factor in the voting, next year's election is likely to be more issue-oriented than any in the past. And the opposition, whether or not it is able to exploit them, has several reasonably good issues. By all odds, the most damaging to the government will be corruption. No one issue seems to evoke a more universal and deeply felt response among the Thai people than that of corrupt practices of Thai officials. Young or old, villager or urbanite, educated or illiterate, everybody is against corruption, and everybody thinks the government--from the wayward constable to the venal cabinet officer--is riddled with it.
This is obvious. What choices do the voters have? They can choose between the corrupt Democrats, the corrupt Thaksinistas, the corrupt Barnharnists, the corrupt Prachaists, the corrupt militarists, etc.
There are also a number of domestic issues relating to the allocation of economic resources and the establishment of developmental priorities that may provide grist for the opposition's mill. Although Thailand has made considerable economic progress under the military regime, and its growth rate compares favorably with that of other nations, the fact remains that its per capita income is still extremely low. There are some people in Thailand, although they are few in number and exercise only marginal influence, who are asking whether the country's economic gains are being made in the right areas and are reaching the right people. It seems likely that some of the opposition politicians will try to make profit in next year's election by suggesting that there is more to economic progress than a building boom in Bangkok.
The opposition will almost certainly argue the economic issues along the long-standing battle lines separating Bangkok and the central plain from the other major regions. As a general rule, the farther one gets from Bangkok, the easier it becomes to translate differences in economic policies into regional quarrels. Regional differences and attitudes appear to have yielded only grudgingly, if at all, to the considerable changes that have taken place in the countryside since the last election.
In the south, for example, observers have noted that local politicians, businessmen, and teachers--precisely the kind of people who normally would back the establishment--are growing increasingly bitter over what they regard as Bangkok's indifference and neglect. A decline in the price of rubber--a mainstay of the south's economy--has not helped matters, nor has the example of Bangkok's relatively new-found interest in the northeast sat particularly well. Even in the northeast, where Bangkok has mounted its strongest developmental effort over the past five years, there is little reason for believing that the area's strong sense of regional identity will not be a large factor in the lower house elections.
Bring both economic neglect and terrorism into the picture. The South will go to the Democrats, not because I think the Democrats do a magnificent job in representing the South, but because there aren't that many choices. It seems all the other parties have written off the South as a Democratic stronghold.
In the CIA's final analysis:
The government may well fail to secure a clear-cut majority in the lower house. Certainly, the record of legislative elections in past years, and the slow progress the government has made organizing for the upcoming one, suggest that the military group may have to settle for something less. The failure to win a majority of the 219 lower house seats will make the government's job somewhat more difficult, but with all of the considerable assets of both friendly and unfriendly persuasion at their disposal, the military leaders should have little trouble patching together a working parliamentary majority from among fragmented and, in all likelihood, opportunistic opposition elements.
With the military firmly in control of the media and all the election apparatuses, including the EC and Interior Ministry, will they be able to pull off their little conspiracy and remain in control?
The Nation is obviously worried that the military won't pull it off and the Thaksinistas will win. And The Nation will become increasingly hysterical as the election draws closer. Read Thepchai Yong's column today and you will get the picture.
Even if such an arrangement is not forthcoming or there is some major surprise in the election results, it is not likely that the lower house will prove overly obstreperous. Whatever their other traits, the opposition politicians currently on the scene are neither idealistic enough to push for fundamental changes in the way the country is ruled, nor foolish enough to think that they could possibly succeed.
I think this attitude has changed. However, one might argue that when you have every major and minor political party promising the sun, moon and stars that is cynicism at its worse.
Although they may not enjoy quite as much freedom of choice as they once did, the present leaders will continue to rule Thailand after the elections and, at least for the short term, in pretty much the same way. The new constitution and the elections, then, are not likely to bring any important changes in Thai domestic or foreign policies in the near future. The larger question, which cannot yet be answered, is whether the new constitutional arrangement proves to be a first step toward fundamental change in the power system that has been in force since 1932, or only more of the same. Only time will tell.
OK, now for the rest of Chang Noi's column.
He outlines the military's plan of attack for winning the hearts and minds of people upcountry, which does resemble the military's former strategy to win over the countryside during the Cold War. Ergo, the name of Chang Noi's column is apt to the current situation.
The only thing different this time around is that you don't have right-wing para-military groups enforcing the military's agenda. Instead of Village Scouts and Red Gaurs of yesteryear, now you have Sufficiency Economy propaganda, the co-opting of the media and universities, the Cyber Crime Act, the Internal Security Act, the Culture Ministry, royalist pageantry, and all the insidious activities that Chang Noi mentioned in the column.
Note: When the CIA is referring to the government, it is referring to the Thanom government, which eventually won the election of 1968 with heavy financing from the US government. A couple years later Thanom staged a coup against his own government supposedly because of massive corruption from the Praphat factions in parliament.

Who better to ask than players who've reached the top level, so I spoke to several international defenders to get their views and insights.
In this post you can find out what international players Mark Knowles, Dan Fox and Rhett Halkett believe it takes to be a great defender in hockey.
7 Factors That Make A Great Defender In Field Hockey:
#1 – Passing
There are a couple of key points under this headline:
1) Passing skills – the ability to push, hit, slap, tomahawk and overhead accurately to team mates
2) Passing range – the ability to reach further distances and where pace of pass is important
Having good passing skills makes it hard to be pressed and having more advanced skills such as an overhead will help to release pressure when outletting as it is one of the few ways to get out of a full press.
#2 – Strong in 1 v 1's
According to FIH 2014 World Player of the Year And Australian Captain Mark Knowles:
"Defenders need the ability to hold their own in one-on-one contests"
This means you are strong, confident and back yourself to win the 1v1 battles with your opposite number. I also interpret this as defenders being able to manipulate the opposition and force them into zones where they can make better tackles.

This week's Eating with Esquire took place at Talley's Meat & Three in the Village Shopping Center at Three Chopt and Patterson. I initially heard about Talley's through the William & Mary Alumni grapevine because one of the owners, Josh Bufford, is a grad of The College (you should all know I am immediately biased!). Then, my baby sister went to lunch there and she raved about it. My baby sis knows my eating proclivities and she has never led me astray, so her endorsement, plus the connection to The College made this a no-brainer for the next stop on the E.W.E. tour.
Place: Talley's Meat & Three
Specialty: As the name implies, the Meat & Three – for the uninitiated, an M&T establishment is where you pick a meat from a list of choices, and then three sides from another list of choices. As this is a Southern thing, M&T's usually also involve a choice of bread because why wouldn't you have bread?!
Website: www.talleysrva.com
As with my visit to Chiocca's, my Pops was my partner-in-crime for this eating adventure. We went last Friday and the weather was cold and gray so both of us were looking for a rib-stickin' meal. Talley's did not disappoint. Here are the DEATS from our visit.
Drink: You'll remember from last week that I have guidelines for the drink section. Unfortunately, Talley's does not carry Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb so that was a little but of a bummer. However, they have root beer on tap, as well as Cheerwine. Now, I foolishly failed to include Cheerwine on the drink guideline list last week. If you've never tasted this sweet nectar, it is a cherry-flavored drink that hails from Salisbury, North Cackalacky. And they have one of my all-time favorite marketing taglines, "Born in the South. Raised in a glass." That's just A-plus. I love the stuff. So much so, I have a good friend from college who brings me some every time I see her. Having said all that, having Cheerwine on tap basically cancels out not having Dr. Pepper. Well played, Talley's. Also, they had bottled Mexican Coke, which I of course had with my meal (and so did Pops). An all-around strong performance in the drink department.
Edibles: We sat down to eat, and like most places, Talley's had a daily menu with specials and what not. Well, we happened to go in the day after Alan Rickman died (see my favorite Rickman characters here and here). To honor him, Talley's daily specials all revolved around Alan Rickman characters, notably the Hans Gruber Yippie Ki-Yay Burger and the Defense Against the Dark Arts. The food could've been terrible and I would've raved about this place just because of the special menu. Awesome. As tempted as I was to get the Gruber Burger, I could not come to Talley's Meat and Three and not go meat and three. One of the meat choices is the Cheerwine Smoked Brisket. Hmm, Cheerwine plus smoked brisket? Yep, I'll have that. For my three sides, I chose the deviled eggs, mac 'n cheese, and french fries, but it was very difficult not to choose fried okra or cheesy grits or cornbread stuffing. Really, I needed the meat and six. Finally, I chose Mimi's jalapeno cornbread as my bread. They brought the plate out and the Hoover Dam broke on my tastebuds. It just looked delectable. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the Cheerwine reduction on top added a nice layer of sweetness to counter the saltiness of the rub on the brisket. The deviled eggs were topped with a candied bacon that made me wish there were more than the two that come with a standard side serving. I could've eaten a dozen. The mac 'n cheese had this peppery bite to it that made me want a full bowl. I probably wouldn't get the fries again – they were a little overcooked, which could have just been batch-dependent, but they were certainly the most underwhelming part of the meal. As for Mimi's jalapeno cornbread, I need the recipe. Needed it yesterday. It would immediately elevate every bowl of chili you've ever eaten to another stratosphere. You got the heat from the jalapenos and the sugary bite from the bread – it was perfect. It is now my mission to try all of the meats, sides and breads before the end of 2016. Who's coming with me?!
Atmosphere: My great-grandmother, Mom Bernice (pronounced BUR-niss), was, shall we say, frugal. She was tight. If we went over to her house as kids, she would tear a stick of gum in half, and then tear that half in half, and that was the amount of gum you had to chew. And we're not talking these fancy, new-fangled gums like Trident Ice and Wintergreen where the flavor can last for like 20 minutes; I'm talking old-school, Wrigley's Doublemint in the green packaging – two chews and all the flavor was gone. As you can imagine, for Mom Bernice, going out to eat was a luxury. If she went out to eat, it had to be some place special. Some place, as she would say, that had "atmosphere". (It should be noted that she most famously described Lowery's Restaurant in Tappahannock as having "atmosphere" so take that for what it's worth).
Mom Bernice would love Talley's. My understanding is that one of the inspirations for Talley's concept were great memories on the family farm in rural Georgia. I grew up in a rural community and my Granny's "friend", Harold, (read, boyfriend) lived on a farm in an archetypal white-washed wood farmhouse. He'd take me squirrel hunting, let me get the eggs from the hens in the coop out back, and run all over the property. A country boy's dream childhood. Funnily enough, he used to collect Coca-Cola figurines: the delivery truck, a mini-replica of a Coca-Cola freezer you'd see at an old general store, and miniature glass Coke bottles. You could put a penny in the freezer and one of the mini-Cokes would pop out. It was awesome. Maybe that's why I love Mexican Cokes – subconscious memories of all the days I spent at Harold's. Anyways, Harold's front and back porches had those industrial, metal lights that could light up a city block. That's what I envision when I think about being on the front porch or back porch down home, eating, and enjoying the company of loved ones. Each booth at Talley's is lit by one of those back porch lights so it kind of gives you the feel that you're just eating supper next to the screen door. It don't get much better than that.
Transportation: As I mentioned above, Talley's is in the Village Shopping Center and you can access it a number of ways. We just took Patterson the whole way, but you could ride down Three Chopt or get there pretty easily from 64 as well. It's a stone's throw from U of R, and if I was an undergrad there, Mom and Dad would be real unhappy with the credit card charges they'd be getting from Talley's Meat & Three. There is ample parking becaue it is a vibrant shopping center so big thumbs up there.
Service: As part of server training at most good restaurants, the servers taste each dish on the menu. That way, they are equipped to advise their customers on what's good and what their favorites are. You could tell that had taken place here. When my Pops asked, "What's good here?", our server immediately responded, "The Cheerwine Smoked Brisket is my favorite thing on the menu." He then went on to tantalize us with the details of the Cheerwine reduction. Intimate knowledge of the menu and genuine retort to questions asked. Our drinks were never neglected and the food arrived timely and hot.
Final Verdict: If you don't eat at Talley's by the end of the week, I have completely failed with this post. Go there. Now. Bearded Barrister approved.

Camp Kennebec Recommended Clothing List & Packing Advice
Please use our suggested clothing list below as a guideline only. Clothing and equipment needs vary with each camper depending on camper preferences, age and length of stay. If your camper likes to change clothes often, then please increase our recommended quantities.
Please label everything you send to camp including clothing, hats, shoes, boots, towels, toiletries, flashlights, games etc. Campers' belongings look very similar and are often the same size and brand. If we can't find a camper's name on a misplaced item, and a camper doesn't claim it from our lost & found – we have no way of returning it.
When you think about the best way to pack for your Kennebecer – think in terms of layers. Mornings and nights in the country are much cooler than the middle of the day. So campers are the most comfortable when they can layer a t-shirt, with a sweatshirt or a long sleeve shirt or some other top or jacket – one that they can easily remove as the day heats up.
Also, think carefully about possible weather conditions when your child will be attending camp. Mid to late August nights and mornings can be very cool. Please pack jackets and light gloves.
Pay special attention to footwear. Extra shoes and socks are always a good idea. Shoes and socks get wet and muddy at camp – another reason that we ask you to think twice before you send expensive clothes or shoes to camp. Also please provide footwear that allows your Kennebecer to participate in favourite activities. For example, if campers plans on spending time around the horses, closed toe shoes are mandatory. And if they want to spend a lot of time at riding or help us feed and take care of the horses, construction or riding boots are a good idea.
We do laundry once per week per cabin, for campers who stay a minimum of two weeks. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to provide laundry service for one week campers.
Please do not send irreplaceable or valuable items to camp. While we do our best to keep track of camper clothing and personal items, campers regularly lose and damage their belongings at camp. That's why it's so important that you clearly label everything your camper brings to camp.
Additional Information & Reminders
- Please use our suggested packing list as a guideline. Clothing and equipment needs vary with each camper depending on their preferences, age and length of stay. Please adjust quantities and items to meet your Kennebecer's needs.
- To prevent loss, use sew-on or iron-on labels or a permanent waterproof marker to label all clothing, bedding, and equipment with your Kennebecer's name.
- Please pack in soft sided duffle bags only
- Include a packing list in your Kennebecer's duffle bag, so we can help keep track of clothing.
- We do laundry once per week for campers who stay longer than one week.
- Despite our best efforts, campers often lose or damage clothing and other items at camp. Please do not send money, valuables, expensive or delicate clothing, or mobile phones to camp. Campers simply do not need them while they're here. It is camp policy to collect mobile phones and store them in the office, until the end of the session.
- Camp does not replace lost or damaged items.

Disney shared the latest glimpse at this summer's live-action treatment of "The Lion King" with an official trailer Wednesday morning.
From Jon Favreau, the director behind the similarly made smash hit "The Jungle Book" in 2016, this will be just as special effects-heavy in hopes of transporting audiences to what certainly feels like a live-action world. "Live-action" is obviously in the eye of the beholder -- the majority of the film looks to be computer animated.
Not unlike other recent Disney adaptations like "Jungle Book," "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast," it'll mostly stick to the story of the animated classic: After the murder of his father, a young lion prince flees his kingdom only to learn the true meaning of responsibility and bravery.
The all-star voice cast includes Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, Beyoncé and James Earl Jones.
"The Lion King" opens in theaters July 19, 2019. Watch the trailer above.

- Cooperation in the development and revision of international animal welfare guidelines and standards relevant to the egg production industry.
- Cooperation in the development and revision of international standards that impact upon the trade of eggs and egg products, including international animal health and zoonoses standards.
- Veterinary research into diseases of egg producing species.
- Exchange of views on the approach by intergovernmental bodies such as WHO, FAO and their subsidiary body (Codex Alimentarius) on disease surveillance and control strategies which may impact on the egg sector and/or on international trade
