SierraSil for arthritis & Joint Probs
Has anyone been using SierraSil Joint Formula 14 for their senior pets join problems?
I used it myself for a hip injury a year ago and it worked amazingly well.
My dog hurt her right foreleg in early January and I have tried Omega oils, flax seed oil and lot of salmon. I also have been using Nutri-Flex for three weeks but she still limps.
Then I remembered SierraSil so read up on it again and many dog owners on the site claimed it helped. We both tried it but for the first 2 days didn't take it right. It's supposed to be taken on an empty stomach with water. Food and other fluids aren't to be taken an hour before or two hours after eating. The past two days we have followed the directions more carefully. Sadie is on the BARF diet and getting very few carbs so she shouldn't be retaining fluids and she doesn't seem to drink as much water as before.
My concern is that I can't get Sadie to drink any water in the morning though I can get the capsule down her throat. I posted SierraSil but haven't a reply yet.
I have been putting some flavouring into water along with a sprinkle of salt to make her thirsty so she will drink more water which has happened.
Today (day 4) she seems to be walking better with only a slight indication of favouring her right leg. I also noticed my hip feels the best it has in a long time so maybe this is working. My concern is the need for water to flush the toxins from her system.
If anyone else has used this product (appears to be a Canadian product) on yourself or your dog or cat, it would be interesting to hear of your experience. It is frightfully expensive but if it works, I will continue using it for both of us.
PS Here is a list of its ingredients:
Calcium 23mg
Potassium 20mg
Sodium + 12mg
Aluminium * 6mg
Phosphorus 3.1mg
Magnesium 2.2mg
Iron ** 1.2mg
Silicon ++ 1.0mg
Manganese 0.15mg
Barium 0.10mg
Copper 0.033mg
Cobalt 0.014mg
Zinc 0.014mg
Due to its clay structure, a large percentage of the total content of SierraSil® passes through the body unabsorbed. The values in this table represent the quantities available for absorption by the body in an average recommended daily dosage of SierraSil® (2 g = 3 capsules), as per the dissolution test described in US Pharmacopeia 24 Dissolution Method 711.
Health Functions of Essential Minerals in SierraSil
Calcium: Bone, Tooth & Joint Health, Nerve & Muscle Function, Tissue Repair, Blood Clotting, Stamina
Potassium: Nerve & Muscle Function, Kidney Function, pH Balance, Energy Production, Tissue Repair
Sodium: Water Regulation, pH Balance, Nerve & Muscle Function, Stamina & Endurance

Zinc: Bone, Tooth, Hair, Skin & Joint Health, Enzyme Activation, Hormone Regulation, Detoxification
I'm thinking that if these are the only ingredients, I have most of them and could purchase the few I don't have and make my own concoction. Cheap, I know, but supplements are becoming so expensive.
Know History, Not Just Your Folklore.
not sure if you have a shoppers drugmart near you, but I give my 70 pound dog 1000 mg of glucosamine and 400 mg of chondroitin sulfate daily with her food and when she had surgery on her knee the dr xrayed her other joints and could not believe how good they were compared to the one she blew out and he told me to keep her on this. she is a 6 yr old lab/shep mix. anyways, I bought both suppliments at shoppers, life brand, and it totals 42 dollars and lasts 4 1/2 months
Good idea
[QUOTE=Melinda;987734]I give my 70 pound dog 1000 mg of glucosamine and 400 mg of chondroitin sulfate daily with her food/QUOTE]
I do have both in my larder.
I will start using it for Sadie (and me) but I am going to wait a week or two to see how the SierraSil works. If it does, I will still use it but will add the G/C as well.
I wonder if MS would be good to add.
I am always concerned about giving animals things I am not sure of. When I discovered Xylitol, I gave Sadie about 1/8th tsp but when I saw she had back stools, I backed off and did the research. Found out there was evidence that it might do liver damage. Though some other study didn't find the same results, I wouldn't take a chance with it.
Namaste, Melinda. I've heard many good reports about G/C but forgot about them.

Palm Tree Hook Small
£6.95 Regular price £9.95
If you follow the Bombay Duck Instagram, from time to time among the polished photos of my latest creations, you'll find blurred or grainy snapshots from my travels. And very often they're of palm trees. Beautiful, supremely useful from the nuts, their milk and water to the wood (used for some of our handles in fact) and even the fibers of the leaves, they're also an instant promise of rest under their shade and escape from the heat. You see why I chose them for this stylish hook to tidy away the clutter of life.

- H 23 x W 10 cm including hook

Foo Fighters release free EP, 'Saint Cecilia'
Just when you thought Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters couldn't get much more cooler, the band have dropped an EP, Saint Cecilia, and it's for free! Dedicated to the victims of the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, the EP is available for one and all over at the band's website.
Head here to download legally –> DOWNLOAD SAINT CECILIA
Grohl penned this open letter for the band's reasoning behind this surprise release;
"Tonight, Let me begin with a preface to a letter I wrote a few weeks ago from my hotel room in Berlin while on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13th, as this project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems…
The Saint Cecilia EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music. The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us.
Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away.
To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done."
Saint Cecilia Tracklist:
1. Saint Cecilia
2. Sean
3. Savior Breath
4. Iron Rooster
5. The Neverending Sigh

You are taking a prenatal vitamin to enrich your child's earliest physical development. Well, your child's brain development begins during these prenatal months, too! Now is the time to learn about BabyPlus.
The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is a set of sound lessons that are played to the prenatal child. This patented approach enhances learning ability. As your baby begins to recognize the difference between the rhythmic sounds of BabyPlus and the similar natural rhythms of the mother's heartbeat, learning begins.
It is the most valuable start you can give your child, and the benefits will last a lifetime
At birth and infancy, babies who have used BabyPlus:
Later in life, BabyPlus babies demonstrate:
What Baby Plus Is
BabyPlus is a series of 16 scientifically designed sounds that resemble a mothers heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally as the pregnancy progresses. The BabyPlus sonic pattern introduces your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.
The BabyPlus lessons are designed to be played for 1 hour twice a day. For optimal benefits, start using BabyPlus anytime between 18-32 weeks of pregnancy.
This "auditory exercise" strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant for a child. BabyPlus is the first educational tool designed for prenatal use that has been proven effective. BabyPlus children have an intellectual, developmental, creative, and emotional advantage from the time they are born.
Your baby can very clearly hear these patterns. She/he learns to discriminate between the sound coming from the mother and those from BabyPlus. In other words, learning has begun. Your baby accelerates the rate at which he or she compares and contrasts information. This process builds your babys memory for greater capacity and function throughout life.
BabyPlus is based on more than 20 years of scientific research.
Baby Plus prenatal curriculum introduces your developing baby to learning in the only true language of the prenatal environment, the maternal heartbeat. The spoken word is too difficult for the developing child to understand and music is too complex. However, scientifically conducted studies show that the prenatal child recognizes the maternal heartbeat and can learn to differentiate progressively more complex patterns of that sound.
Since 1989, more than 100,000 parents worldwide have given their children the BabyPlus advantage.
Is BabyPlus Safe?
BabyPlus was developed by Dr. Brent Logan, a developmental psychologist who directs the Prenatal Institute, Seattle, WA. Dr. Logan's 25 years of research have demonstrated that prenatal stimulation using heartbeat-based sounds of increasing complexity is the most effective means of communicating with your developing child.
The sound level to the baby is strictly controlled for both pitch and volume. Dr. Logan spent many years studying the normal environment of the developing baby, and BabyPlus is carefully designed to present sounds to the prenatal infant at a very safe but audible level. More than 100,000 families worldwide have attested to its safety and effectiveness. Overstimulation does not occur for the same reason the continous maternal heartbeat does not disturb the baby
What People are saying about the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System:
BabyPlus is the only system of its kind to have been granted a patent from the United States Patent Office. Patent No. US 6,494,719.
Among obstetricians, pediatricians, scientists, and educators, there is tremendous interest in the impact of prenatal enrichment. BabyPlus is the irrefutable leader in this field. BabyPlus is based on solid scientific theory, is supported by extensive research, and its value is definitively proven by followup studies.
BabyPlus is not a toy — it is a profound educational tool, and the first step in your childs lifelong cognitive development.

Free Yourself of Body Criticism!
I've been wondering when did this start with women – this seemingly acceptable criticism of our bodies? We used to be goddesses. What happened?
As I sat last week on a beautiful beach in Kauai looking at the magical turquoise water I was confronted with my own thoughts of criticism. Be quiet I told myself. You're in Kauai – you've been swimming, snorkeling, hiking, playing. So what if you don't look the way you did when you were 26. You're 56 and you look great.
My ego had a few other little comments to make and I just told it to be quiet and ran into the ocean to let my body enjoy the sensation of the cool water.
But I wonder, where did all this come from? I don't know one woman who likes her body, or accepts it as healthy, fit, toned, perfect. Why do we need to criticize ourselves?
The yogi's tell us – we are not our bodies. We are magnificent, precious, powerful souls. And beautiful women!
Try having an exciting, loving relationship with a man with thoughts of criticism going through your mind about your body. Men love our bodies; they don't notice our perceived imperfections – until we point them out. And they don't like it when we criticize ourselves. It makes them uncomfortable and want to withdraw.
And we are all complicit in keeping this potentially harmful practice going. We will share our complaints with our girlfriends and receive consolation and understanding. We are passing it on to the younger generation. We consider it acceptable. It's not!
What if we were to just stop criticizing ourselves and start loving our bodies? Start focusing on the great things and forgetting about the things we think don't measure up to some standard of perfection.
Come on, we all know this seeming "perfection" standard gets created by men in the advertising industry using highly skilled photographers, lighting, airbrushing, tons of makeup, and the occasional woman who, for a few years will look like the standard of perfection. But even she will have things the photographers will work around or airbrush out.
But it's not about the few women who choose to have "perfect" bodies. It's that we are wasting our time and our valuable energy focusing on the negative, when we could rejoice in the positive.
Goddesses, stand up and fight against this American, male, advertising industry attempt to manipulate us and sell products! We need to love ourselves and be grateful our bodies function. We are not our bodies. We are souls in these precious bodies. We are beautiful women. You are beautiful!
Choose to concentrate on all the great things about your body. When the ego comes in with "his" criticism, tell him to be quiet, or to get lost.
You can choose to feel like a goddess. You can choose to embrace the beauty of your feminine body. You can choose to love yourself. You can choose to strut your stuff. You can choose to feel and be sensual. You can choose!
imagine the possibilities…

From Camille, a 32-year-old fashion designer in New York
Q: Carol, I'm going to be married in October and I want to wear this fabulous dress that I designed. The trouble is it really doesn't work on my body as it is now. I know I should work out really hard and get in great shape for my wedding, but I work full-time and with all the wedding plans it's hard to fit that much exercise into my daily routine. What can I do?
A: Camille, if wearing that particular dress is the most important thing to you then I would hire someone to handle the wedding details and go work out. However, if you are enjoying doing all the wedding plans and don't really want to push yourself that hard, then why not design a different dress that will work with your body and also be absolutely fabulous.
I know you have a fantasy about how you want to look on your wedding day. And I'm wondering if you would be willing to create a new vision. A day of joy and fun, love and laughter. It's a celebration and one of the most important things is to be comfortable with what you're wearing and look fabulous in it – for your body type.
First, accept that you are a fabulous woman. That the man you are marrying loves you for exactly who you are. Embrace that you are a goddess and you are more than your body. Then let your creativity flow. If you get stumped, go work with another designer.
You will be beautiful and radiant on your wedding day. Be comfortable too. Let your energy shine through. From the perspective of the goddess, what is the perfect dress for you?
Camille, have fun and send pictures.
One of the best things we can do as women is to see ourselves as the beautiful, feminine, sensual beings that we are.
And one of the best ways I know to do that is to have "fine art" photos taken. I work with one of the most gifted photographers in the world – Starla. She makes you feel safe and helps you radiate your beauty and essence. Her fine art / self-esteem photography captures your beautiful shape on film so you can see what others see. She started doing this when she realized her friends needed help with their self-esteem. She is one of the great gifts to women. And to men, who are thankful the women in their lives can finally see what they see.
Starla Fortunato is my incredible photographer. An amazing gift in my life. She took the pictures you see on my website.
Starla's website is: http://www.starsimages.com
If flying to Los Angeles isn't an option, why not get some friends together and see if she'll fly to you. If that isn't an option, hire someone locally. Spend time interviewing them, check out their portfolio and see if you feel safe with them. And seeing your beauty, seeing what everyone else sees, will take you down the path of appreciating your body, not criticizing it. Nothing like visual confirmation.
If you're having trouble accepting your physical beauty get some fine art photos to show you the truth. Let your mind see your beauty and your heart experience it. You'll be free of the self-criticism. Then put on your favorite outfit and go play!
Carol's Services
I teach people to overcome the obstacles that keep them stuck yet longing for romantic relationships, more self-confidence and inspiration to accomplish their dreams.
We sometimes forget what it feels like to live from our hearts and souls. We forget the thrill of taking the brakes off and flying. Life is dull if we just live from our minds.
Are you - or someone you know - settling, for less than exciting, either in relationships or a career?

A visit to New York behind the wheel of a 2017 Lincoln MKZ
While Fashion Week was in full swing, LUXE magazine took advantage of a visit to the Big Apple to test the new Lincoln MKZ and share its impressions with readers. Conclusion: appreciated and approved!
At LUXE magazine, we think big, which is why we want to showcase high-profile projects in Quebec and Canada as well as beyond our borders. New York is one of our favourite cities because of its vitality and effervescence. In fact, it has its own section in our magazine. In early September, taking advantage of the Fashion Week festivities, our editor Samia El paid a visit to our neighbours in the south for a rather busy stay. Meetings with New York branch manager Barbara Stehle and various clients, a quick trip to the Hamptons with our partner Lauren Berger, owner of Lauren Berger Collection: Samia El spent four days immersed in the fast-paced New York lifestyle.
Although time flew by, her experience was nonetheless very enjoyable, namely thanks to the outstanding service she received at the Dream Downtown Hotel, where the young entrepreneur lodged. Ideally located between the Meatpacking District and Chelsea, this establishment frequented by the city's trendy youth offers all the comfort and luxury one could wish for in the heart of the city.
Furthermore, our editor was able to efficiently make it to all of her meetings behind the wheel of the new Lincoln MKZ. Featuring an elegant sleek line, panoramic retractable roof and luxurious interior with leather seats, the car attracted quite a bit of attention in the city's streets. Samia El was also able to experience the combined power, security and comfort offered by the drive.
Following her successful stay, she returned to the province with many projects in mind and new partnerships for you take advantage of in the coming months.

Deeply Rooted In Happiness
By Elsebeth Green, LCSW, RPT-S
The brilliant positive psychologist, Martin Seligman starts out his book Authentic Happiness with the fascinating story of a study of 141 seniors graduating from some high school and the types of smiles they displayed in their senior pictures. Apparently, there are two types of smiles and they actually have names. The first is the Duchenne smile, named after the man who noticed it, and this smile is genuine. Not only do the corners of the mouth raise up, but the eyes actually crinkle – something that is very difficult to control. The second smile is named the Pan American smile. This is named after the posed flight attendants in advertising for the now shut-down airlines. This smile looks like it took effort and the eyes do not crinkle.
Of the 141 seniors whose pictures were labeled one of these two categories, about fifty percent were genuine and 50% were not. As these seniors were interviewed at ages 27, 43, and 52 and asked about their marriages and their life satisfaction, guess which group had happier and more satisfied marriages and lives? Was this because they were prettier? Nope! Attractiveness was looked at as a factor and disqualified. It turns out that a woman who genuinely smiles is more likely to be happy in marriage and satisfied with life.
This doesn't mean that we don't all have serious challenges in life and in love. I seldom see someone in therapy because they are too happy or too satisfied. But I do notice a correlation between people who grasp onto hope and cheer more quickly and those who make progress even from childhood issues.
Is it possible to make ourselves happier people? Or is the tendency towards happiness something that a few lucky people are just born with? It turns out that, yes, actually there are specific things that have been studied and proven to increase our happiness factor if they are practiced consistently. One such thing is gratitude. It is not just a cliché that if we count our blessings, we will be more cheery. Many studies have confirmed that some type of consistent gratitude practice increases the joy and satisfaction of our lives.
Come and attend the You Got This Women's Conference 2019 www.yougotthiswomen.com and hear Elsebeth talk about all 10 of the practices that will increase happiness with consistent application.

Piña loca? Crazy pineapple? I love everything about this easy Mexican recipe. I get to be a kid again with all the antojitos (snacks) that are so familiar and that I love! All of these flavors combined takes me back to Sunday's at the swap meet in California. Fresh fruit and spicy Mexican snacks were a must while walking around in the hot sun.
I am reliving my childhood with all these antojitos that make up this Piña Loca!
Piña Loca! Pineapple! Antojitos!
- 1 small-medium fresh pineapple
- 2 cups watermelon
- 2 cups mango
- 2 cups cucumber
- 2 limes
- Chamoy salsa to taste
- Chile limon powder to taste
- 1/2 cup Chile lime coated peanuts
- 1/2 cup Chile coated Japanese crunchy peanuts
- 1/2 cup Assorted soft tamarindo candies chopped small
- Carefully slice the whole pineapple in half. Score the pineapple and try to cut out 1 inch chunks. Remember to cut out the center core first. Use a large metal spoon to scoop out clean. Set pineapple aside. Slice the other fruits and cucumber the same size as pineapple.
- I only prepared one half of the piña(pineapple) for 4 servings. If you want to prepare both halves, you may need more of the other fruit, cucumber, peanuts and candies. If not, save the other half of the pineapple for another time.
- In a bowl combine the pineapple, mango, watermelon and cucumber. Squeeze in the juice of 1 large lime. Season lightly with salt and mix.
- Place the pineapple bowl on serving platter. Add the mixed fruit with cucumber. Add enough chamoy salsa to coat everything generously. Sprinkle with chile limon powder. Top with a mix of the peanuts and tamarindo candies. Add a little more chamoy and a little more chile limon powder. Serve right away. Serve extra lime, candies, peanuts, salsa and seasonings on the side.
And not only pineapple, you can prepare this recipe with watermelon or canteloupe.

Today, that was STEALING. Or, steely resolve by our Michigan State Spartans, in an exciting, 65-64 victory over Minnesota which saw the Big Green behind the whole game, and by as many as 13 in the second half. Yes, MSU kept chipping away, chipping and chipping. At the 5-minute mark, CBS all-world announcer Gus Johnson said "this is where the Spartan defense usually clamps down." And it did, shutting down Minny the rest of the game. In the last 6:07, MSU outscored Minny 13-4. Game, set, match - MSU.
The Big Green didn't lead until 1:27 left, after Big Ten POY Kalin Lucas came through again with yet another clutch shot, a three pointer that helped the victory. Then, on the final play, Minnesota set up with 15 seconds left and, as Izzo said, "we switched up everyone" and next thing you know Allen guarded Minny ace Westbrook; Allen closed off the door and Westbrook's off-balance shot led to a ping pong gallery the final five seconds, all misses until the clock ran out. GREAT defense by MSU, and GOOD TEAMS ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO WIN. Lucas (22 pts, 8-14 FG, 4-6 threes) and Morgan (17 pts, 6-6 FG, 6 rebs, 2 blks) were the best players for the Spartans, and chip in some kudos to Allen (12 pts, 4-7 threes).
The biggest problem today was Minnesota's size on the interior made it very difficult for MSU's offensive big-guys, as Delvon Roe (0-5, 7 rebs) and Draymond Green (2-9, 8 rebs) had 4 pts between them. But, MSU had its best 3 point shooting game of the season (11-24, 46%) and had just 10 turnovers. This efficiency kept them in the game until the end.
Most interesting stat of the season? In a tough, defensive game, MSU was only called for 12 fouls... and Minnesota 10 - that is a combined 22 fouls for both teams the whole game. We've seen the Spartans typically get over 20 fouls per game. (24 vs UNC and Nwestern is the most this year; five times with 20 fouls or more, 11 times with at least 18 fouls).
Winning in Minnesota is never easy, but MSU now has 8 consecutive victories over the Gophers (14 of the last 16)... yes, the ES sez it is now official: MSU dominates Minnesota in basketball. It also has 8 consecutive victories this season to jump to 17-3 overall, and 7-0 in the conference -- its best conference start since Magic Johnson's freshman year. Wow. The Big Green now has a 2 game lead over the field, with another difficult test -- heading into scUM land, where we can wipe the floor with Manny Harris' face.

Q: Thank you for joining us today.
Phillip Elden: It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Q: Please explain to our readers what logging entails.
Phillip Elden: Logging is the process of cutting down trees and transporting the logs to sawmills.
Q: Why is your group against this recent proposal initiated by Bybee?
Phillip Elden: The problem with Bybee's proposal is that their plan is to not just to cut young trees, but to cut down trees up to 4 feet in diameter.
Q: How old are these trees?
Phillip Elden: This log sale would cut 300- to 400-year-old trees—we can't let that happen.
Q: Would the proposed project destroy wildlife habitat?
Phillip Elden: Absolutely.
Q: Can you name some other environmental impacts of logging?
Phillip Elden: Forest fires, loss of biodiversity, problems for marine life, global warming, soil erosion, to name a few.
Q: Is all logging bad?
Phillip Elden: No, some amount of logging is always necessary from an economic standpoint, and some amount of logging is also an important element in the prevention of unintended forest fires.
Q: So logging must be based on preservation of the ecosystems rather than market demand for timber?
Phillip Elden: The timber industry is vital to Oregon's economy, but we do not want to risk damaging the ecosystem in the process.
Q: What are you and fellow conservation groups going to do about it?
Phillip Elden: We need to keep a very close watch on the developments of the Bybee proposal and be prepared to fight if necessary.
Q: How much of Oregon is currently dedicated to wilderness?
Phillip Elden: Roughly 4 percent of Oregon, compared with 8 percent of Idaho, 10 percent of Washington, and 15 percent of California.
Q: Does logging play an important part in Oregon's economy?
Phillip Elden: Yes, it does, but I doubt that visitors come to Crater Lake for the logging business. They come to enjoy the beauty of this area.
Q: What is the Crater Lake area known for?
Phillip Elden: The area is home to several species of rare fish, wildlife and plants.
Q: What about recreational activities?
Phillip Elden: Visitors flock to the area to camp, fish, hike and ski.
Q: And all this could be threatened by logging?
Phillip Elden: Exactly.
Q: How much does Crater Lake tourism contribute to the local economy?
Phillip Elden: Crater Lake tourism contributes $34 million to local communities per year and creates about 565 jobs.
Q: Any final words?
Phillip Elden: We're going to fight to prevent piece-by-piece destruction of some of the last remaining old growth.

The Department of Everything Else
Mining, Grazing, and Managing the Public Domain
Nothing more dramatically stimulated the westward movement than discoveries of gold, silver, and other valuable minerals on the public lands. The thousands who rushed to California in 1849 were followed by other waves to Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado in the 1850s and 1860s as strikes were publicized there. Responding to a call for legal mining rights on government lands, Congress passed the Mining Act of 1872. Under this law, prospectors could protect their interests by marking out the boundaries of their claims, filing notice with the county clerk, and doing annual assessment work. Because there were no requirements to seek patents for ownership or to prove mineral production within any reasonable time, thousands of acres became encumbered with claims of no public or private benefit.
The Minerals Leasing Act of 1920 was an important advance in this regard. Under its terms, the General Land Office leased lands bearing oil, gas, coal, and certain other critical minerals to private producers. The government received rental payments and royalties on production. This regulated private exploitation of lands remaining in public ownership and federal trusteeship was another significant achievement of the utilitarian conservationists' program.
In 1910 the public interest in mining was recognized through the creation of another Interior bureau. After a series of coal mine disasters--which in 1907 took more than 3,000 lives--Congress established the Bureau of Mines to promote minerals technology and mine safety. Joseph A. Holmes, formerly concerned with these matters in the Geological Survey, became its first director. The bureau opened an experimental coal mine near Pittsburgh, where it conducted tests with coal dust and ultimately prompted rescue stations and first aid training for miners. Following passage of the 1920 Leasing Act it acquired the job of supervising mining operations on the public lands.
The latter responsibility lasted only until 1925, when the Bureau of Mines was shifted to the Department of Commerce. To keep the technical inspection of mineral lease operations within the Interior Department, that function was moved to the Geological Survey, where it remained even after the Bureau of Mines returned to Interior in 1934. In 1941 Congress gave the bureau power to inspect private mines, but not until the late 1960s did it gain authority to enforce health and safety standards. Since 1977 the Bureau of Mines has been primarily a research and fact-finding agency for nonfuel minerals, fossil fuels technology having gone to the Department of Energy and mine health and safety concerns to the Department of Labor.
Interior's two newest bureaus, at this writing, also deal with mining. The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement was established by the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. It regulates and oversees state regulation of strip coal mining to minimize and repair the kind of environmental damage that long tarnished this activity. The Minerals Management Service, established by secretarial order in 1982, handles the department's oil and gas leasing responsibilities on the Outer Continental Shelf and collects all lease and royalty revenues from both onshore and offshore mining. These receipts, constituting one of the largest categories of federal income from nontax sources, are distributed to the general fund of the Treasury, to the states, and to Indian tribes and allottees.
Livestock grazing was the last major unregulated economic use of the public lands. As 20th-century homesteaders pushed stockmen into the semi-arid Rocky Mountain Plateau, competition for the waning grasslands intensified. Overgrazing turned range to desert. By 1934 the need for what conservationists had unsuccessfully urged three decades before was widely apparent, and Congress passed the Taylor Grazing Act.
The Taylor Act authorized the Secretary of the Interior to place 80 million acres of the public domain in grazing districts (the limit was later increased, then dropped) and set rules and fees for grazing permits. Twenty-five percent of the fee receipts could go for range improvements. Secretary Harold L. Ickes placed Farrington R. Carpenter in charge of a new Grazing Division, which became the Grazing Service in 1939. Carpenter, a freewheeling Colorado rancher-lawyer educated at Princeton and Harvard, relied heavily on local citizen participation in organizing the grazing districts and approving permit applications.
Implementation of the Taylor Act virtually ended the homesteading era outside Alaska. Public land dispositions in the 48 states were henceforth contingent on the Secretary of the Interior's judgment that the lands in question were more suited for uses other than grazing. Little remained to so classify. A historian of public land policy has called the act "a great watershed in American life. . . . After its passage, all land use and land use adjustments were subject to political and administrative proceses in some form: local zoning and planning acts, state ownership and administration, or various forms of federal ownership and management." [42]
On July 16, 1946, the General Land Office, one of the oldest federal bureaus, and the Grazing Service, one of the newest, were merged to form the Bureau of Land Management. As inheritor of the original Interior component most concerned with lands and natural resources, BLM may be considered the core of the modern department.
Drawing on expertise from more specialized bureaus as well as its own, BLM conducts a broader range of resource management functions than any other Interior unit. Its concerns encompass timber, oil and gas, hard rock minerals, geothermal energy, wildlife habitat, endangered plant and animal species, archeological and other cultural sites, wild and scenic rivers, designated conservation and wilderness areas, and recreation. It is responsible for the total management of 342 million acres of public lands, primarily in the Far West and Alaska, and for the subsurface resources of an additional 370 million acres where the federal government holds mineral rights.
A last-minute amendment to the Taylor Act mentioning "final disposal" of the public lands kept alive the prospect of their future transfer or sale. Continued controversies surrounding their management and disposition led in 1964 to establishment of the Public Land Law Review Commission, composed of members of Congress and citizens appointed by the President. The commission's recommendation of a general charter for the public lands bore fruit in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The act hinged further land disposition on a planning process designed to identify tracts whose potential would best be achieved in nonfederal ownership. To govern the great majority of land that would remain to constitute the public domain, BLM received a comprehensive mission statement emphasizing multiple use, sustained yield, and environmental protection.

Victory Monument might not be on the main Bangkok tourist trail, but it is in an important area for transport connections in and around the Thai capital. The stone obelisk itself isn't the most striking of Bangkok's landmarks and it's difficult to get close-up to anyway because it forms part of a very busy traffic roundabout. However, you do get an impressive view from the elevated Skytrain which curves around the Victory Monument.
Normally referred to in Thai as 'Anu Sawari', Bangkok's Victory Monument was erected in 1941 following the brief military conflict between Thailand and France. At that time, Thailand claimed back land in Laos and Cambodia which had previously been part of the Kingdom of Siam. However, in 1945 Thailand was obliged to hand back the land to the French who were colonial rulers in Indo-China. Today, the monument serves to mark all of Thailand's military successes but it is probably better known to most Bangkok residents for its significance as a transportation hub.
The Victory Monument area is where private mini-buses and local BMTA (Bangkok Mass Transport Authority) buses congregate for commuters and Thai travellers. It can be quite confusing if you or your travelling companions don't speak Thai, but you should still be able to muddle through although you may need to ask around a bit first. The BMTA buses are numbered and serve most parts of Bangkok. In addition to the BMTA buses there are also fleets of un-numbered privately operated mini-buses. These run to and from popular tourist destinations including Ayutthaya, Hua Hin and Pattaya. Just a few words of warning though. There isn't much room in the private mini-buses for people let alone baggage. If you are travelling light then fine, but if you have a large suitcase or bag you are probably better off taking a regular bus or the train. The other, more important thing to note is that some of the private mini-bus drivers have a reputation for speeding and accidents have occurred in the past involving these mini-buses.
As part of a plan to ease traffic congestion in the Victory Monument area, private mini-bus companies have been told they must move out. The deadline for moving is October 25, 2016. Services will now operate from Bangkok's main bus terminals. For example, mini-buses going to Hua Hin will depart from the Southern Bus Terminal just as the big buses do.
The roundabout where the Victory Monument is located also marks the start of one of Thailand's main highways, Thanon Phaholyothin. This road runs north past Chatuchak Weekend Market, Mo Chit Bus terminal and Don Muang airport. The road continues all the way through the heart of the central plains of Thailand and on through the north of the country. If you find yourself in the northern outpost of Mae Sai (as many travellers do looking to extend their Thailand visa) you will be able to see the end of Thanon Phaholyothin leading up towards the Burmese border.

Thanks for this. Nolan's first name is not "Frank," by the way. He has no known first name, like Richard Stark's Parker, to whom he and I owe much. The Frank thing started with the original publication of BAIT MONEY and BLOOD MONEY by Curtis Books in 1973, when some nameless editor added the first name to the cover copy of both books.ReplyDelete

You ask an interesting question, Col, about criminals. Sometimes they really are fascinating characters. To be honest, some criminals aren't interesting at all. But there are those whose characters are well-developed, where you can really see there's more to them than just thief/hit man, etc.. Glad you enjoyed this.ReplyDeleteReplies
Margot you're right. A specific career path be it lawful or unlawful doesn't necessarily imbue a character with qualities that make them interesting in their own right.....relationships, mind-set, decision-making, decisiveness, a certain code of behaviour....all form a part of the whole....... along with numerous other factors!Delete
I've enjoyed Collins' work, but need to catch up on a few of his books.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've only tried the Nolan books so far, and will read Quarry also. There's too many to keep pace with, unfortunately - Nate Heller series looks good, but the series is about 18 books long and the first in it is nearly 500 pages long - I don't think I have the time!Delete
That is one long-running, hard-working author! and I like the sound of Nolan - as you say, the bad guys are always more interesting.....ReplyDelete
I am sure I have said this before, here, but this is an author I need to read. But I want to start with True Detective, and also maybe try some of the Eliot Ness series, or the Disaster series. So much to choose from.ReplyDelete

At the MWC 2017 tech show, Motorola launched the Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5. Just a week ago, the Moto G5 Plus was launched in India starting at a price tag of Rs. 14,999, whereas the Moto G5 is yet to reach Indian shores. At the time of its launch, Motorola unveiled the phones in only two colours- Fine Gold and Lunar Grey. However, rumours suggest that Motorola will launch a new Blue Sapphire colour variant of the Moto G5 in coming weeks.
Reliable tipster, Roland Quandt leaked the images of the Blue Sapphire colour variant, and it looks gorgeous in the new colour. These days, users are more attracted towards the colour options of the phones, and that might be the reason Motorola is planning to launch the phone in a new colour.
Going by the leaked images, the phone will have the Blue Sapphire colour on the back and sides of the phone, but the frontal part of the phone will remain black. However, there are no details on Blue Sapphire Moto G5 Plus, though.
In addition, this new colour variant of the phone will be limited to selected markets such as the UK, where a carrier already confirmed the phone to launch in new colour option in coming weeks.
The Moto G5, to recall, comes with a 5-inch Full HD display. Under-the-hood, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, clubbed with 2GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of internal storage. The phone supports up to 128GB storage expansion via microSD card. The rear camera in the phone is of 13MP, whereas the front-facing camera has a 5MP sensor. The phone boots Android Nougat and has a 2800mAh battery.
Motorola is yet to launch the Moto G5 in India, and we would like to see the phone in Blue Sapphire colour variant when it launches.

More energy from the sun falls on the earth in one hour than is used by everyone in the world in one year. And yet, solar energy myths continue to plague the public at large. The following post is reproduced from the Climate Reality site. I'm a Climate Reality leader from the Chicago2013 class. (Rolly Montpellier, Editor for BoomerWarrior).
Despite the tremendous source of energy staring many of us in the face every day, some keep debating the merits of solar power and other renewable energies, asking the same questions over and over again. How effective is solar energy? Is it more expensive? Where and how does solar fit in the larger energy grid?
Many of the arguments against solar are based on outdated or incorrect information. That's why we're setting the record straight on some of the most common solar energy myths.
Solar Energy Myths
1. Myth: Solar energy is too expensive and isn't economically viable for most people.
Fact: The claim that solar energy is too expensive is out-of-date and continues to be proven wrong. The average cost of solar panels fell 75 percent between 2009-2014 alone, and some analysts predict the cost of PV modules will drop 25 percent by 2018. The result is that in many regions around the world and parts of the US, electricity from solar is as cheap – or even cheaper – than electricity from coal, oil, or natural gas.
So it's no surprise that clean energy is one of the world's fastest growing industries, and already makes up more than 20 percent of the world's electricity generation. Bonus: when you use solar energy to do things like power homes or schools, you're helping protect humans from higher carbon emissions, unnecessary air pollution, and the devastating impacts of climate change.
2. Myth: Carbon dioxide isn't the main cause of global warming. What about solar variations?
Fact: There is a consensus from 99 percent of climate scientists that human activities are the cause of the global warming we're seeing now.
Scientists know our climate is changing, primarily due to carbon pollution from the burning of dirty energy like oil, natural gas, and coal. Changes in the radiation the sun emits – known as "solar variation" – affects the climate, too. But scientists take this into account and weigh the contributions these changes make to our climate, which today are minimal to negligible compared to those from carbon pollution. It's clear that man-made carbon dioxide pollution is overwhelmingly responsible for the global warming we're experiencing now.
3. Myth: Clean coal is the answer. Why invest in solar when we have clean coal?
Fact: There's no such thing as "clean coal." Solar power, on the other hand, is a real, clean energy technology that is viable today.
In reality, "clean coal" is a false solution. Coal is a dirty fuel no matter which way you look at it. The coal mining process blasts away mountaintops and leaves toxic slurry ponds behind. Burning coal results in pollutants that are harmful to human health, like mercury and smog. As if this weren't enough, worldwide, more carbon pollution comes from the burning of coal than any other fuel.
4. Myth: Solar power isn't worth it because it won't work in locations that are cloudy or cold.
Fact: Solar power works even in cold or cloudy places. Because of the way the technology works, solar panels are just as effective—and usually more effective— in cooler temperatures as in hot ones. And while it's true that clouds can affect the efficiency of solar panels, they can still produce enough power to be viable sources of electricity. Germany, for example, is a country that is not particularly warm or sunny, but is nevertheless the world leader in solar energy
5. Myth: Solar panels are unreliable.
Fact: The opposite is true. Most solar panels produce electricity for over 20 years or more as their parts do not wear out easily. In fact, many of the first solar systems installed over 40 years ago are still active today.
Additionally, using solar power diversifies our energy sources, making the entire grid more dependable. We have more tools available to make solar and other variable renewable technologies more reliable than ever, such as larger and more integrated grids, better resource forecasting, and more use of energy storage technologies.
What will need to be replaced in the next 30 years are aging fossil fuel infrastructures like outdated coal-fired power plants. If we make the switch and rely on renewable sources of energy like the sun, we can save billions of dollars by avoiding not only the costs of replacing these plants, but also the increasingly higher costs of climate change in areas like healthcare expenses and damage from extreme weather.

Japanese automobile major Honda Motor has submitted patent applications for its invention to improve vehicle efficiency and safety in handling of blind corners in automatic transmission mode. The company has filed two patent applications, one for a gear shift control device and another for a transmission control device for automatic transmission.
Both the inventions serve a corner-determination function enabling the vehicle to be controlled better and stopped faster. The transmission control device helps detect a corner in front of the vehicle, based on its current position and road data, and determine whether or not it is a blind corner, in cases where it is not possible to see beyond the corner from the vehicle.
The system calculates the distance from the blind corner to the vehicle and the required braking amount for reducing the current vehicle speed to a level at which it can stop in the area of blind corner with a full braking amount,m when a break is applied.
In manual operation mode, the driver can downshift gear one by on using a shift lever, or a paddle switch disposed on a steering wheel. However, in the automatic transmission mode, downshift operation need to be performed several times to obtain an intended engine braking amount and this can be time consuming, especially from a high speed stage.
The gear shift control device helps estimate the amount of roll when taking a corner on the basis of road data for deciding various gear shift levels.
"The present invention thereby makes it possible to perform the appropriate down shift control that corresponds to cornering characteristics and the necessary minimum inter vehicle distance when passing through the corner," says the patent application by Honda Motor.
According to reports, the improving technology is supporting the growth of automatic transmission passenger vehicles in the country. One out of every ten cars sold in India are expected to be automatic transmission vehicles, it says.

The Problem with Language Policing
Being effective in challenging mental illness stigma
Patrick Corrigan has been my research crush for a number of years now. And what is a research crush, you might ask? I like how his mind works. He's a psychologist and stigma researcher, with lived experience of mental illness to boot. He's one of the most prolific publishers in academic journals that I've ever come across. His perspective on stigma is focused on what actually works, and language policing is one of the topics he's researched. All of the quotes in this post come from his article that's referenced below.
Where things get really interesting is that he's shown that what actually works isn't necessarily what makes people feel good in their advocacy. This particular article is a commentary rather than a research article, but he's done the background work.
Language is a common focus point for anti-stigma campaigning, and it seems like it should be an obvious target. But we're preaching to the choir when talking to each other; to effectively reduce stigma, it's not about what feels right for us. It's about what's most likely to get that message received and internalized on the receiving end.
The issue of resistance
It turns out, surprisingly or not, that if you come across as nagging, the message doesn't get internalized in a constructive way. In fact, it can lead to psychological resistance; the more you tell someone not to do something, the more likely they are to do the opposite.
Corrigan acknowledges that the use of words that are blatantly stigmatized, like "schizo" and "psycho," is clearly problematic. However, he writes that trying to "fix" the issue by focusing on words is:
…fraught with unintended consequences caused by "word police"-advocates who identify the inappropriate use of terms related to mental illness and scold those who utter them in an effort to stop stigma.
Is it the words or the attitudes?
What's really missing with a focus on words is the deep, persistent attitudes that underlie those words. It's hard to suppress language, but even when it can be suppressed in controlled settings, that doesn't necessarily extrapolate to changes in beliefs. Corrigan cautions that:
Instead, this policing of words might foster an incorrect sense of the ease with which stigma can be erased: that changing the words is enough. Unfortunately, changing stigma is a much more protracted and difficult task.
This is particularly relevant with structural stigma in large organizations, as token changes in language use may be seen as simple and sufficient. They may not realize, though, that there hasn't been any actual change in attitudes as a result, which means nothing actually changes for people with mental illness within that organization.
While words can absolutely cause harm, prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory behaviour don't come from words; they come from stigmatized attitudes that are at a much deeper level than words that are used, and the words are chosen based on that.
Telling people what not to say can actually make them think more about that very thing you told them not to say, much like if I tell you not to think about a white bear, you're far more likely to think about said bear than if I'd said nothing in the first place.
Language policing also runs the risk of people writing it off as political correctness. Steven Pinker described a euphemism treadmill where new neutral words are identified to replace previously neutral words that have become tainted by negative attitudes about the things they're associated with. Political correctness just keeps the treadmill spinning, without doing anything to address actual problems that exist. My guess would be that the people who are the most anti-PC are also relatively more likely to have stigmatized attitudes about mental illness, and turning off the target audience isn't likely to help matters.
Alienating the choir
There's also the risk of alienating people who might otherwise support anti-stigma efforts by shutting down conversation rather than promoting it. Sometimes zealous anti-stigma campaigners start venturing into the territory of telling other people with mental illness what to say, but that's not the target audience whose attitudes we actually want to change.
Apparently, some anti-stigma advocates have taken issue with the word "stigma," although I hadn't come across or noticed before. The argument is that it's a form of labelling that blames the person who has been labelled. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ( SAMHSA) has jumped onto this particular bandwagon, preferring the terms prejudice and discrimination.
Mental illness is another term that some people don't want you to say, but when you start to get that ridiculous, you risk swinging the arrow the other way over to the "just depression," "everyone's a little ADHD," and "he's so OCD" area of minimizing actual illness.
So what can we do?
Just because word policing doesn't work very well doesn't mean we shouldn't be active in speaking up against stigma. But perhaps rather than focusing on words, we would accomplish more by addressing attitudes.
If someone uses the term " commit suicide," for example, but the stigmatized belief they have about suicide is that it's selfish, would it be more useful to target the language or to share a firsthand story of a suicide attempt that demonstrates that it's actually not selfish at all?
Challenging language certainly seems like a good idea on an intuitive level. But since language policing doesn't appear to be a particularly effective way to get the anti-stigma message out into the world, perhaps we need to be more flexible and targeted in our approach. Because really, regardless of how satisfying an approach feels to the messenger, if it's not sinking in on the other end, then we're not really accomplishing a whole heck of a lot.

100 Notizen – 100 Gedanken / 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts, lecture and presentation of dOCUMENTA (13) notebooks at the Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA), September 28, 2011, 7 pm
100 Notes – 100 Thoughts. Now available: The second round of 16 notebooks in both printed and e-book editions.
Notes have a paradoxical character: they are neither significant, nor absurd. We tend to endow the world with meaning (or meaninglessness) in order to find some control over it. Traditionally, theory looks at the world but the world does not look back. Can one imagine a new language that would register our being observed by the whole realm of the non-human, a form of translation or a form of "speaking with" the other animate and inanimate makers of the world?
Notes are capable of registering this turn – they are advocates of a form of fiction that is modest and less anthropocentric. Fictional, because nothing is more fantastic than the precision of translation. A note expresses nothing but itself and in doing so occupies the totality of the mind. The necessity of notes has nothing to do with their utility. Notes have nothing to say, but they constitute a way of speaking.
Introduced by Marta Kuzma, Director of the Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) and dOCUMENTA (13) Member of Core Agent Group, and Pablo Lafuente, Associate Curator at OCA, Chus Martínez, Head of Department, Member of Core Agent Group for dOCUMENTA (13), will present the series 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts on September 28, 2011, at 7 pm. This is the sixth public presentation of dOCUMENTA (13) notebooks, following a premiere in Cairo and launches in New York, Buenos Aires, Thessaloniki, and Paris.
On this occasion, Christoph Menke, Professor for Practical Philosophy at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and author of Aesthetics of Equality, the 10th notebook in the dOCUMENTA (13) series, will give a lecture entitled "What is Aesthetic Freedom Today?"
This lecture is organized in the framework of the OCA Semesterplan, OCA's public program of talks, lectures, seminars and symposia presented by artists, curators and critics participating in OCA's ISP and IVP Programmes.
In The Sovereignty of Art: Aesthetic Negativity in Adorno and Derrida (1999), Menke writes that the aesthetic experience becomes apparent when intensified meaning is defined – as an experience of meaning that gives representation to the truth about non-aesthetic understanding.
In this lecture, Menke will specifically approach the transformation of aesthetic taste within the development of late capitalism in an effort to address the possibility for the aesthetic freedom of taste to regain a critical potential. Menke will try to deconstruct the question of how the arts can be thought of as a point of departure for defining and regaining a practice of freedom – a freedom that stands in critical contrast to the freedom of contemporary consumer capitalism.
In cooperation with Goethe Institute in Oslo. www.oca.no
The notebooks appear in three different formats (A6, A5, B5) and range from 16 to 48 pages in length. Contributors hail from diverse fields – art, science, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, political theory, literature, and poetry. The second round of notebook authors include Arjun Appadurai and Nalini Malani, Doug Ashford and Julie Ault, Mario Bellatin, Bifo – Franco Berardi, Mariana Castillo Deball and Roy Wagner, Dario Gamboni and Paul Gauguin, Mariam and Ashraf Ghani, Donna Haraway, Alexander Kluge, Pamela M. Lee and Meyer Shapiro, Romaine Moreton, Nikos Papastergiadis and Cornelius Castoriadis, Griselda Pollock and Charlotte Salomon, Suely Rolnik, Annemarie Sauzeau, and Mario Garcia Torres.
Commissioned by dOCUMENTA (13) Artistic Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev together with Head of Department, Member of Core Agent Group, Chus Martínez, this series is edited by Head of Publications, Bettina Funcke. The 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts series is being launched at various places and in various moments, each accompanied by a discussion on the nature and the aim of this publishing project. You can acquire individual notebooks or subscribe to the entire series of 100 notebooks in both printed and e-book editions at www.hatjecantz.de/documenta13.

P.R. restaurants generate $4B in sales, generate 60K direct jobs
Despite the challenges Puerto Rico is facing, the island's restaurant industry maintains its role as "an important pillar in society," generating $4 billion in annual sales and creating 60,000 direct jobs, according to a study commissioned by the Puerto Rico Restaurants Association, or ASORE.
The EAT study, which measures industry trends, also confirmed that the sector purchases more than $500 million in local products.
"For the first time, a thorough look is taken at the sector to gain in-depth knowledge of market trends, as well as the behavior and motivations of the hundreds of thousands of citizens who visit the island's restaurants on a daily basis," said ASORE Executive Director Gadiel Lebrón.
The Research Office, the firm in charge of conducting the study, surveyed 1,000 adult men and women between August and September of this year, all between the ages of 18-64 — a representative sample of diverse socioeconomic levels of the metro area as well as rural towns. People who had visited a limited service restaurant in the past three months and/or full service restaurants in the past six months participated in the survey, said José Alfonso, president of the firm.
"Eighty-nine percent of those who visit restaurants are middle and low-income, and they visit from quick service restaurants, to bars, 'chinchorros,' casual, and family restaurants, etc. It can be induced that most of them are workers, heads of household, many single parents, students and elderly people," Alfonso said.
The study evaluated "where the current status of the industry, identifies the challenges, realities and circumstances of the clients," said ASORE Chairman José Salvatella.
"This information is especially important at times when Puerto Rico is undergoing a process of transformation following the passage of Hurricanes Irma and María. This data is vital for us, as an industry, to delineate where we are going," he said, adding the study confirmed "consuming food in restaurants is not superfluous for [clients,] it is a necessity, they are working people who need flexibility to consume their food."
Among the study's other relevant findings are:
- Consumers are increasingly looking for both healthy alternatives in their meals and companies that are socially responsible. Among the first 10 reasons for the selection among similar restaurants, 87 percent stressed they use local products, 85 percent offer healthy alternatives, 83 percent help the community with fundraising measures and 77 percent use environmentally friendly products.
- Optimism reigns: 33 percent of the people surveyed said they feel the island is on track, that things are improving, and that their personal economic situation is improving, so they are more willing to go out and consume. It is the first time in more than a decade that this feeling has been expressed, ASORE stated.
- Positive balance for the quick service restaurants: So far this year, the QSRs are seeing a greater number of visits, retention and adoption in comparison to any other restaurant category (77 percent QSR vs. 38 percent of the casual dining restaurants.) This is mainly motivated by the perception of lower cost, the study showed.
- Opportunities for full-service restaurants: To attract and retain customers, these restaurants must be more aggressive with their special offers, distinctive dishes, clean and safe environment, and quality of service.
- Technology: More than 90 percent of citizens have access to smart and connected devices, so the industry must invest more in this resource to strengthen its quality of service, beyond posting menus, photos, and contact information.
- Sales and Use Tax does matter: If the Tax Reform is implemented and restaurants are allowed to charge a reduced SUT, there could be an increase in the number of visits to restaurants and expenses per visit, the study confirmed.
"Eliminating the tax does not impact government revenue collections in a considerable way, but it would achieve greater social justice for people who are more vulnerable and who are, precisely, those who use more restaurants," Salvatella said.
"It would also mean an income of $582 million, which translates into economic growth, which is what our island needs most," he said.

Between two waters
During the spring of 2020, as others have kept diaries or fuelled discussion on social media, she decided to write on the walls. With only virtual or derogatory access to public space, she has turned "her walls", the white tiles of her bathroom, into a medium for writing. It's both the affordance of her daughter's chemistry pen, the one she uses to mark levels on beakers, and the pleasure of having a moment to herself to write, she explains. Perhaps she was inventing a type of writing, fragilely exposed for an uncertain future ("post-pandemic"), mired in a troubled, domestic and anxious present (" the lockdown"). The whole family has chosen a side and copied poems, witticisms or famous quotes day after day, so that the bathroom has become a space for collaborative writing and reading.
Moving from screen to tile and from print to handwriting, she copied poems by an author she received, following her participation in an email chain, intriguing verses; one poem per day per tile during those six weeks of eternity. She liked these little pieces of writing, in French or English, that arrived in her inbox. Since Google queries for the poet's name and lines didn't produce any results, she thought it would be a good idea to publicise him – and not on the internet, which he had chosen to avoid. So, for the attention of her family now and all those who would return to her home "afterwards", she displayed this poet who has punctuated this particular spring, bringing into existence for her a joyful and convivial idea of the future, and for the desperate viewer on the eve of a second lockdown, a trace of the scriptural ingenuity deployed to accommodate our diminished ties and to grant ourselves small pleasures.

This guide show you how to use two popular website marketplaces. While Flippa is the largest small to mid price range website marketplace on the internet, DigitalPoint is kind of a wild wild west of online marketplaces: you'll find a very wide range of websites for sale, from total junk to hidden gems.
If you're selling or buying a website that's worth between $100 and $50,000, chances are Flippa is a good place to do it. If you're looking above the $50,000 price range, you should probably talk to a business broker who specializes in online websites. For most flippers however, there is plenty of fish in the sea on Flippa.
Let's take a look at Flippa from both the buyer's side and the seller's side.
Buying on Flippa
The first step to buying a website on Flippa is finding your ideal auction. There are a number of pre-sorted ways you can browse Flippa auctions.
You can also click on "Advanced" to sort your search results by a number of more sophisticated parameters.
Each listing in the search results will have a number of important things displayed.
These are some of the most important things you can see at a glance in a search result:
- The date the site was established.
- The amount of visits per month.
- The site's PageRank.
- The revenue the site generates.
- The seller's positive rating percentage.
- How much money the seller has transacted on Flippa.
- The time left in the auction.
- The number of bids.
- The number of comments
- The price and BIN price.
Browse through the various listings and open up the ones that meet the criteria you're looking for.
When you open up a site profile, you'll be presented with the basic stats along the top.
You'll also be able to see claimed traffic and claimed revenue stats:.
The most important thing to pay attention to is the auction's attachments. Here is where you'll find proof of traffic, revenue and other details.
As a rule of thumb, it's much, much safer to only buy from sites that have verified Google Analytics data.
Make sure that for whatever auction you're considering, you read thoroughly read through the entire description, all the comments and browse through the site to see what you're actually getting.
Selling on Flippa
Flippa is one of the best ways to sell a small to mid sized website. You have literally a horde of qualified buyers, all vying to give you the best price for your website. Instead of having to decide yourself how much you think your website will sell for, you can simply let the marketplace and the auction system decide how much your website is truly worth.
You start the selling process by going to https://flippa.com/sell and typing in your site URL.
Flippa will present you with a list of required steps and recommended steps for selling your website. Simply click on each of these steps to setup your site auction. For example, if you click "Site Age," the age box will popup. Fill out the date your site was created and the information will be added to your auction. Rinse and repeat for every step.
Adding verified Google Analytics data is an optional step, but is highly critical to a successful sale. Start by clicking on the "Add Verified Google Analytics Stats"
Get the code provided by Flippa.
Then follow the on-screen instructions to have Google email a copy of the analytics to Flippa. Once you've filled out all the required information and launched your auction, all you need to do is sit back and wait. If you get questions from your potential buyers, make sure to answer them in a timely and efficient manner.
That's how to use Flippa to buy and sell websites. If you're looking for a massive marketplace to both buy and sell websites, there's no better place than Flippa.
DigitalPoint is one of the largest online marketplaces for buying and selling websites online. The trick to making money on DigitalPoint is to be able to find the bargain deals, as well as get top dollar for your own websites.
Here's how to use DigitalPoint.
Buying on DigitalPoint
Start by editing Filters options.
To learn more about any specific site, just click the thread title.
Once you're in a specific listing, you'll be presented with the site's description. Sometimes you'll have a lot of information, including proof of traffic and earnings data, while at other times listings will have scarcely any information at all.
To make a bid for the site, type the amount you're willing to pay in the Bid Amount. You can also setup an auto-bid at the same time. If you'd rather just snatch up the website then and there, you can use the "Buy it Now" feature right under the "Sale Data" segment. Those are the basic mechanics of buying a site on DigitalPoint. The challenge in DigitalPoint is that you have to go through many, many listings to find a good deal. That said, there are definitely good deals to be found at bargain prices.
Selling on DigitalPoint
To sell on DigitalPoint, click the "Post New Thread" button. Select "WTS" for the prefix and choose an attention catching title.
Select when you want the sale to end. You can also choose whether you want buyers to pay instantly after the sale.
Setup the pricing for your auction. Set your starting bid, reserve price, bid increments and BIN price. Put in a few additional details about your site, such as the unique visitors, page views, revenue and whether or not the content is unique.
Answer a few basic technical questions, such as where your domain is registered, your Alexa ranking and the number of backlinks you have. Finally and most importantly give a detailed description of your website. Make a strong case for why your site is a good business. Attach as much proof of traffic and revenues as you possibly can.
That's how to use DigitalPoint to buy and sell websites. DigitalPoint is not as streamlined as Flippa, but there are definitely diamonds to be found in the rough.

Software engineer and $$$
Nov 19th
According to their numbers, the average software engineer at Google makes $98,800 a year. That's less than a software engineer atApple ($99,000), Yahoo ($102,000), Cisco($106,000), and…wait for it…Facebook($110,500).
When you add in average annual bonuses, that same Google software engineer currently takes home a total of $120,178.
There's only one company where a software engineer makes more when you add in bonuses: Facebook, where the total averages $122,400.
