DRAMA CLUB: Angel Eyes Episodes 17-18 (2/2)
Wendilynn: Hello again, Angel Eyes Drama Club fans. Its time for part two as Gina, Tanya and I discuss how we felt about this weeks story. I personally, would happily shoot the lot of them and be done with it. LOL
Gina: Seriously! What were the writers thinking? On top of it all, making Soo Wan go blind again? And because of her guilt? Give these characters a break for gosh sakes! I feel like the past few episodes have only shown Soo Wan feeling guilty and sorry for herself. I think it's about time the writers change some things!
Tanya: I think they have played this multi-guilt trip out long enough, honestly. It's so frustrating for everyone involved.
Wendilynn: Soo Wan has believed she's ultimately responsible for everyones bad actions so I was expecting her to "reject" her eyes in some fashion. Psychological blindness is better than shoving hot pokers in her eyes.
Gina: That's true. With this "psychological blindness" we were all expecting her to regain her sight at some point. I guess this is Angel Eyes' "amnesia." lol
Wendilynn: You're cracking me up.This has gone on for so long now that I no longer feel sympathy with anyone except perhaps Teddy.
Tanya: I don't even know if I can have sympathy for him. I really do like the Teddy character, but what happened to all the tenaciousness that he had in the beginning? They made him do a '180' and I really don't like it.
Gina: I'm right there with you. I am losing empathy for most of the characters more each week. I feel bad for Teddy too, but I have to admit that Hae Joo and Chief are really cute! The scene when Hae Joo kissed him on the cheek and then told him to look her in the eye and deny his feelings was too adorable. It makes sense that he is hesitant though because of the loss of his wife and of course he knows that Teddy likes her too.
Wendilynn: I think it also shows how much Chief respects Teddy. He overhears his confession to the grandmother and was willing to step aside for him. Not that I think he was seriously considering the girl as a girlfriend, but any man's heart is going to beat just a little faster if a cute girl gives you a gift and kisses your cheek.
Tanya: I honestly think that if Teddy couldn't tell Ellie he liked her, he should at least be man enough to tell the Chief rather than him having to overhear it. That said, well done to the Chief. I think he's just as confused as Teddy is when it comes to why Ellie likes him, but knowing Teddy has feelings for her, he steps aside. That's friendship right there.
Gina: That's a good point. Chief is just a good guy! But on another note, should we talk about Ji Woon and his confession?
Tanya: I feel bad for the burden that he has to carry with the knowledge of his parent's doings, but I really don't know if I can give him an "atta-boy" for trying to take all the blame. Still, he does at least step up and let the world know instead of hiding the truth, so I guess I can give him some respect for that one.
Wendilynn: Oh yes. Poor Ji Woon. He saw what was happening to his mom and he couldn't take the guilt anymore so he steps up to the plate. I wondered though, who would believe he, as a teenager/college age kid would get or even know enough to inject someone to kill them.
Gina: Very true! I like that Ji Woon has proved himself to still be a good guy throughout the drama. I mean, he was very annoying in his persistence in pursuing Soo Wan, but you can tell that he's a good guy mostly.
Wendilynn: Yes, he is a good guy and he truly did love Soo Wan. I can see now why Kim Ji Suk took this character. He always plays characters that are slightly twisted in some way, and so I had wondered what drew him to the happy and nice Ji Woon because its against type.
Tanya: Ji Woon is definitely true to the types of characters Kim Ji Suk likes to play… it just took us a long time to see it.
Gina: At least Ji Woon's mom finally admitted that it was all her doing. You could see how desperately she cared about her son at the police station. It doesn't excuse what she's done at all, but at least you can see that she cares about Ji Woon.
Wendilynn: Caring about someone is different than being obsessed with them. Dong Joo does a good job of showing the difference in the memories one has of their mother's affections.
Gina: That's definitely true. Ji Woon's mom is definitely messed up in her way of thinking. I'm just glad that Ji Woon won't have to go down because of her.
Tanya: His mom is just plain twisted. I wish she would have gone down in a harsher way, but at least she will serve time for everything she's done. I understand wanting to do things for your child, but murder is NOT on that list.
Wendilynn: I'm glad they were able to catch the Chief of Police as well. Sending a truck to run Kim Woo Chul over was really a stupid move. How did he even end up the chief?
Gina: Oh for sure! I don't even know why he would have thought to do something so dumb. But at least they got him in the end!
Wendilynn: Now we're just left with Soo Wan gaining her eyesight back and leaving…. AGAIN for whatever "noble sacrifice" reasons she has come up with. *facepalm*
Tanya: I can't even handle the running away. Seriously… What just happened? I cannot rationally explain that one no matter how hard I try!
Gina: Oh my goodness, I have to say that, that whole situation with Soo Wan leaving is just so frustrating! And even before she got her sight back, she was basically catatonic and not responding to Dong Joo at all. Whatever her reasons are for leaving, I pretty much don't even care. lol It's about time our two leads got to be happy for once!
Well, the writers have two episodes left to fix this bog of unending misery. The actors have all done phenomenal jobs portraying these tortured characters. I'm not sure how they plan to wrap this up. What are your projections for next week? How do you want Angel Eyes to end? Let us know in the comments below!

Welcome to BE WELL NUTRITION
Nutritional Therapy focuses on individual diets and lifestyle advice to redress nutritional imbalances for optimum health, peak performance, and disease prevention. Nutritional Therapy focuses on the person as a whole and not just the physical but the mental and emotional well-being.
Individual nutritional requirements are subject to age, gender, genetic make-up, medical history, past and present dietary patterns, environmental and other factors. Here at BE WELL NUTRITION our nutritional therapists in North West London: Hampstead, St John's Wood & Marylebone W1, we tailor-make an individual nutritional plan to suit you.
Clinical Research has shown that targeted nutrition may help develop the body's strength and resistance to illness and disease and may prolong life and is highly beneficial in many areas affecting our health and well-being.
is to provide you with a comprehensive and individual nutritional programme specifically for you that will enhance your well-being and put you on the road to improved health.
Most people have hectic lifestyles and schedules with little time for anything else. We work longer hours, eat the wrong foods, drink too much and don't have time to relax. Many people do not take enough care of their body until something goes wrong. What we eat and drink can have a profound effect on our health and alter mood, hormonal balance, cardiovascular health, skin, digestive health, weight etc.. Don't let that someone be you. EAT YOUR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH. For some great recipes go to News and Recipes
Wholesome unprocessed foods provide the body with many nutrients necessary for optimum health. However food alone may not be sufficient to support your body and its needs, and therefore supplements may be suggested by a therapist as part of your nutritional programme, to improve metabolic function, correct nutritional deficiencies, and target and support specific organs and systems in the body. Given the right nutrients the body has a tremendous inbuilt capacity to heal and repair itself.
I will work with you to meet your health goals.
Everyone can benefit as a few changes to your diet and lifestyle can have a beneficial effect on your health. If you are preparing for a baby, need to boost your fertility, pregnant, suffering from PMS, menopausal, or stressed then nutritional therapy may be of benefit. Nutritional advice for children is also available. We run workshops and support groups for overweight children. We also run groups for new mums to give weaning advice.
Nutritional therapy may also be of benefit to anyone trying to lose weight, and a full dietary programme is available to aid weight loss. Weight loss is not just about cutting calories - it is finding a way of eating for life!
IBS sufferers or anyone suffering from digestive disorders may benefit from nutritional therapy.

This letter was sent to the Kirkcaldy High School Principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for seniors. An elderly lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door raffle prize and was writing to say thank you.
This story is a credit to all humankind. Forward this to anyone you know who might need a lift today.
Dear Kirkcaldy High School ,
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior Citizens luncheon. I am 87 years old and live at the Raith home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away so I am all alone. I want to thank you for the kindness you have shown to a forgotten old lady.
My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio; but, she would never let me listen to it. She said it belonged to her long dead husband, and understandably, wanted to keep it safe.
The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a dozen pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
She asked if she could listen to mine, and I was overjoyed that I could tell her to f*** off.
Thank you for that wonderful opportunity.
God bless you all.

All Films.All Above Board.NOW INCLUDES TV SHOWS & TV LISTINGS
A seemingly ordinary day ends up changing the lives of three workers at a magazine art department: Beem (Kavee Tanjararak), Dan (Worajev Danuwong) and Big (Apichej Kittikornjaroen). After quarrelling, they each storm home in anger and meet inexplicable events. Beem meets a woman who at first appears normal but then, very quickly, becomes overly familiar with him. Dan becomes haunted by the image of an old woman before him and Big finds himself driving home in an unusually strong wind, before catching sight, in his rear mirror, of a boy selling garlands. It soon becomes apparent that these omens are the sign of imminent death for one of the three men.

Australia has agreed to host a full US Marine task force in the coming years, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced at a news conference with US President Barack Obama in Canberra.
She said about 250 US Marines would arrive next year, eventually being built up to 2,500 personnel.
The deployment is being seen as a move to counter China's growing influence.

Its just business, it was with you guys as well remember. You dont have the coin we need so we dont lift our skirt to you any more.
Its global evolution and we are evolving. Hell we are more part of Asia than the the Americas or Europe anyway.
The sad part of this whole dance is the US government because of the people have mostly operated out of a moral sensitivity and the Chinese out of a moral vacuum. Chinas machine runs the people, where once the US people ran the machine that has changed to the machine running the people in the US now as well.
Its not really a change of systems, just eye shape and skin colour. (Being an Aussie I can spell colour with a U if I wish).
I wonder what the Chinese symbol is for colour?
Australia is not a State of the US, I just wish WA was not a state of Australia as well.

Their allegiance is to The US and Europe, no questions asked. China is just butt hurt because they invested so heavily in resources coming form Australia. Now, with their slowing economy, it is becoming a drag.
Choose your 'Godfather' pft.
Lets put it this way... they 100% choose the Red, White and Blue's, can you name those flags?
Can someone say... Common Wealth of Nations, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Trade Organization(includes china, by default, but shows the strength in ties with others), Australia – United States Free Trade Agreement ...

To even suggest Australians would side with China over their long time ally America is total and utter BS! Would NEVER happen.
I am not talking about politicians. Both American and Australian (ALL of them the world over for that matter) are corrupt. I am talking about Australians, the people, the everyday folk. They will stand with America and their allies through thick and thin. Some Chinese general can (as they often do) say what he likes to promote himself to his own. Yes is can cause debate amongst those who ignorantly think Australians would side with China.
But this much I know. If China made one stupid move against America or its allies, you would have Australians volunteering by the hundreds of thousands to defend their friends. Not for political reasons, not because some politician says so, but because Australians have ALWAYS volunteered to fight alongside their mates! It is our way, it is what we do.

They would probably cut all ties with Australia, No Money, goods, etc.
Every person remotely aware of what's going on in China right now, knows they are close to the weakest they have been in a century, not their strongest. Just as other places are, they are facing upheaval civilly and fiscally...hence they are buying up US bank shares etc...trying to gain grip and control over their demise like every other group of mad men and by moving into Africa trying to foresight new trade avenues, they aim to be 'world leaders' in a world that doesn't want to be led.. China, just like the rest of us, is only one foot from disaster. They need us as much as if not more than we need them..and so..they attack with words..trying to claim the power position. This is typical manipulation strategy and only a blind politician would cow tow to it. Some countries are so poor all they have is money. Let them eat it.

with so much confusion in the world it makes sense that you don't get it and that I can't really explain it.
the most basic element of the Nation or State is the concept of men and women joined in marriage.
personally, i think that no such ultimatum was ever given or that what was said has been spun to sound like something it wasn't...
the title of this thread means to me one of two things
1. China needs an answer from Australia on whether it wants to either be gay (bottom most certainly) with the United States or be straight with China.
2. China needs an answer from Australia on whether it wants to be straight with the United States or Lesbian with China.
if the title of this thread is correct...for some reason, Australia needs time to think through this as they are having some gender and sexual identity problems down under.

e slightest study of business conditions will satisfy anyone capable of forming a judgment that the personal equation is the most important factor in a business operation; that the business ability of the man at the head of any business concern, big or little, is usually the factor which fixes the gulf between striking success and hopeless failure.
An additional reason for caution in dealing with corporations is to be found in the international commercial conditions of to-day. The same business conditions which have produced the great aggregations of corporate and individual wealth have made them very potent factors in international Commercial competition. Business concerns which have the largest means at their disposal and are managed by the ablest men are naturally those which take the lead in the strife for commercial supremacy among the nations of the world. America has only just begun to assume that commanding position in the international business world which we believe will more and more be hers. It

Photoshop Tip: Turn on the Alignment Options in the Move Tool
That's when the alignment options come in handy. Simply click on the "Move"tool ( shown below).
Then you will see the alignment options appear on the top (menu bar) that I have hi-lighted and shown below.
And let's say you want to position an object in the center of the canvas, simply Ctrl+A to select the whole canvas,then you will see some alignment options become clickable.
And then you simply click on "Align Vertical Centers" and "Align Horizontal Centers" you will see the object is now positioned in the center of the canvas.
Like any thing else, the more often you do this, the quicker it becomes second nature.

Solving the problem of zeros in grading
By Thomas R. Guskey
Much ado has been made in recent years about the problem of zeros in grading. Some districts have responded by stipulating that the lowest grade teachers can assign students is 50% rather than a zero. Districts that enact such policies have no intention of giving students credit when no credit was deserved. A 50% is still a failing grade. They do so to eliminate the devastating effects of a zero in a percentage grading system.
To recover from a single zero percentage grade, a student must achieve a minimum of nine perfect papers. Attaining that level of performance would challenge the most talented students and may be impossible for most others, especially those who struggle in learning. A single zero can doom a student to failure, regardless of what dedicated effort or level of performance might follow.
Certainly students need to know that there are consequences for what they do and do not do in school. Malingering should be penalized. But should the penalty be so severe that students have no chance of restitution or recovery regarding their grade?
Ironically, the true culprit in this matter is not minimum grades or the zero — it's the percentage grading system. There is nothing sacred about percentages in grading. We use them today because we use electronic grading programs developed by software engineers with a fondness for a 0–100 scale.
In a percentage grading system, to move from a B to an A generally requires improvement of 10%, say from 80% to 90%. But to move from a zero to a minimum passing grade requires six or seven times that improvement, usually from zero to 60% or 70%. Two-thirds of the marks in a percentage grading system denote levels of failure. Only one-third of the marks are considered passing.
The solution to this dilemma is simply to do away with percentages in grading and use integers instead: 0-4. Many schools use integers already in calculating grade point averages (GPAs). Colleges and universities throughout the U.S. use the integer grading system as well. If finer gradations are needed, tenths, hundredths, or thousandths can be included.
In an integer system, teachers can keep the zero and assign it to students when such a grade is deserved. Improving from a zero to a passing grade for those students means moving from zero to one, not from zero to 60% or 70%. It makes recovery possible. It also helps make grades more accurate reflections of what students have learned and accomplished in school.
Assigning fair and meaningful grades to students will continue to challenge educators at all levels. It requires thoughtful and informed professional judgment by teachers, along with an abiding concern for what best serves the interests of students and their families.
The purpose of grading should be to communicate information about student learning in school, not to punish students in ways that make recovery from transgressions impossible.
Comments on Solving the problem of zeros in grading
Dr. Guskey has once again revealed the errors made when good meaning folks, without the necessary background knowledge, create policies. My own experience within the post-secondary environment showed me how faculty unwittingly resorted to multiple grading scales within courses, banned zeros, and somehow believed that their assessment results were fair. At one institution the expectation was to use 5 point rubrics for feedback, convert outcomes to percentages for use on the LMS, then interpret the crunched numbers into letter grades for transcripts. Leaders need to help faculty to adopt assessment protocols that can withstand the test of integrity.
I read your article with fascination. I am a former teacher who used grading programs when they first came out back in the 90's. Because of my math background (even though I was an English teacher), I intuited some of the flaws you mention here when using percentages for my classes. These issues were compounded when a course's grades were broken down and weighted by percentages as well (i.e. homework counts 10%, classroom work counts 30%, tests count 30% etc.). If I wasn't careful with how I scheduled tests, for example, one grading period might include 3 tests, each of which would count as 10% of the student's grade for that period, while another grading period might only have one test, counting 30% of the overall grade — as much as a final exam, even though my intention was not for it to 'count' any more than the other tests. In frustration, I ultimately abandoned the weighted percentages, and a percentage system of grading all together, by using just points for each assignment or test that reflected the difficulty and effort (I used 'big points' too after hearing research about its motivating effect). Thus, a five-page paper might be worth 300 points and while a class assignment might be worth 50. Once I made this change, I felt a lot greater control over the effect the grades I assigned had on students' overall grades. The grading program showed the percentile equivalent of points received, so students knew how they did on their work (i.e. receiving a 40 out of 50 was 80%), and I set up the program so all grades were sorted by type (homework, tests, classwork, etc.), but that was simply for ease of understanding. Grades were determined by total points received.
I like the integer system you mentioned to mitigate the profound impact of zeroes. If I were teaching today, I would likely use something like that as well.
As a parent of a prep school student I notice that, at times, the non-math teachers don't always understand the underlying implications of "the percentage problem" (when it comes to both zeroes and weighted grades) and even at times, the implications of using the grading program itself. I think it can be a case in which technology is driving the situation rather than being used wisely as a tool. I hope to find a way to encourage dialogue among the teachers and the administration of the potential pitfalls as well as remedies so that, as you point out, grades can be used in the manner intended.
[…] the mean makes zeroes a problem in grading. Wildly divergent values (such as a zero in a gradebook) will greatly affect the mean. […]
[…] Research reveals that a score of zero, in a 100-point grading scale, is pretty difficult for a student to overcome. For example, if a student gained a zero for not having turned in work, he or she would have to turn in nine assignments, earning 100 points each, to overcome the impact of that zero score. […]
I think that the paragraph tells you a really good argument. I think this paragraph is very interesting because it talks about people being fair and not make the kids feel dumb or that they cant do it. i believe our school should do this as well because it gives us students the determination to do better in classes.

Developing Young Leaders Across Miami-Dade
Fifty high school students from across Miami-Dade County are coming together at St. Thomas University (STU) this week to build community and gain skills for cross cultural teamwork with the aim of resolving conflict and living peacefully in an increasingly diverse society. The 2016 MetroTown Summer Camp, a collaboration with MCCJ and STU, is an intensive, six-day residential camp focused on developing young leaders from across Miami-Dade County.
STU's Center for Community Engagement co-sponsors the camp which is led by MCCJ - formerly known as the Miami Coalition of Christians and Jews – one of the oldest, and most respected, diversity training organizations in Florida. Other partners in the camp have included the Miami Foundation, the Knight Foundation, and the Miami-Dade Children's Trust.
During the camp, students discuss topics that are often considered taboo by many cultures, such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender, orientation, and socio-economic status. The Center for Community Engagement staff serve alongside MCCJ leaders as hosts and counselors of the camp, while introducing the students to the opportunities for community-engaged learning at the university. The MetroTown program is transformative for all those involved, and is another way STU is supporting high-school graduates in becoming leaders for life.
For more information on MCCJ and MetroTown, please visit miamiccj.org/metrotown.

I stopped by my favorite sub shop/restaurant yesterday for a quick "snack" to feed my ever growing intestinal tapeworm. It had been a while since I had been to Toody's in Wakefield. For various reasons I just haven't been eating at Toody's of late.
Second reason Toody's now serves Beer and Wine..I have no idea what the prices are for a class of wine or a bottle of beer.To be honest I didn't look, but I strongly suspect it is very reasonable. Having a beer with your pizza is as American as having a glass wine with your pasta. More importantly though and with all sincerity, Congrats to Toody's on securing the Beer and Wine License. This is a very very BIG STEP. Toody's can no longer be considered a little place that invented the SUBMARINE SANDWHICH. Toody's is now a full fledged restaurant!
Well the surprises keep coming at Toody's!!
I didn't catch this the other day but Toody's is now serving some delicious breakfast items such as Croissants or Bagels with your choice of Cheese, Bacon, Ham or Sausage or English Muffins with the same choices.
Today I was on my way back from the Post Office and I noticed the sign at Toody's saying breakfast was now being served. So I pulled my gas guzzling Hummer into the parking lot and went in and I dined on an English muffin with Egg, Sausage and for good measure a couple pieces of bacon,* and I gotta tell you it was damn GOOD. AFFORDABLE TOO!! Why anyone in the world would even THINK about going to Dunkin Donuts for the crap they serve is beyond me. Do yourself a favor and try Toody's breakfast items. You won't be disappointed.
A generous assortment of Donuts (mmmmm donuts mmmmm) and muffins are also on the menu for those wanting a lighter choice along with good coffee and juice.
*I gotta agree with WRKO AM 680 Evening drive host and Boston Herald Columnist Howie Carr EVERYTHING tastes better with bacon on it.

2017 Mediterranean Discussion Group
Each year at the American Academy in Rome, common themes emerge among Fellows' projects with wonderful serendipity. This Fellowship year found several scholars and artists investigating the Mediterranean as a geographical and conceptual framework in different historical periods and from different perspectives. Jessica Maya Marglin, the National Endowment for the Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow in Modern Italian Studies, and Joseph Williams, the Phyllis W. G. Gordan/Lily Auchincloss/Samuel H. Kress Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in Medieval Studies, spearheaded the Mediterranean Discussion Group as a forum to share and develop new ideas.
"The Mediterranean, a kaleidoscopic space of human interaction, is no less complex as a zone of discourse" Joe explains. The Mediterranean Discussion Group is a weekly informal meeting, usually held over lunch, in which scholars and artists share questions about the Mediterranean, whether understood as a geographical unit, a constructed idea, or a political platform. Every week, a different member assigns readings and leads discussion about a problem that has emerged from his or her own work. These questions have ranged from historiography (eg. the merits and implications of the medieval "Commercial Revolution" narrative) to how we think about evidence (eg. the convergence of findings in the humanities and in the sciences).
The group has had the fortune to hold several sessions with Michael McCormick, the spring 2017 Lester K. Little Resident in Medieval Studies, who challenged members to reconsider their work outside the usual boundaries or methodologies of their discipline. Through frank and open conversation, the Mediterranean Discussion Group is helping Fellows gain a better understanding of the different uses of the Mediterranean -- past, present or potential -- as a frame of reference.

Money Market Funds: No Longer Safe
Money Market Funds: No Longer Safe
Courtesy of Karl Denninger at The Market Ticker
Here's something you won't see talked about much – unless you dig for it.
Zerohedge covered it – the fact that money markets are no longer guaranteed liquid. But look at what The Wall Street Journal had to say:
Money-market funds could be forced to pay out less interest under new federal rules designed to make them sturdier.
With memories still raw from the 2008 meltdown of Reserve Primary Fund, the Securities and Exchange Commission released rules on Wednesday that require funds to hold more liquid and higher-quality assets and disclose the value of their assets per share more frequently.
This makes it sound as though the funds will be safer – and more liquid – right? That is, there will be less risk of what happened when Reserve broke the buck and then threw up gates.
Funds must be able to sell 10 percent of their assets in one day and 30 percent within a week under rules approved today by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC's 4-1 vote also imposed new restrictions on buying lower-rated securities and required more disclosure on declines in funds' share prices.
"These rules will take important initial steps toward making money-market funds less vulnerable to runs," SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said at a meeting in Washington. "The new rules will have substantial benefits for investors."
Less vulnerable to runs, eh? That's a rather nuanced statement that at first sounds like "less likely for you to get stuck without access to your money", right?
Well, don't be so sure. Buried in there is this:
Suspension of Redemptions: The new rules permit a money market fund's board of directors to suspend redemptions if the fund is about to break the buck and decides to liquidate the fund (currently the board must request an order from the SEC to suspend redemptions). In the event of a threatened run on the fund, this allows for an orderly liquidation of the portfolio. The fund is now required to notify the Commission prior to relying on this rule.
Formerly the fund had to seek permission to suspend redemptions.
Not any more. Now the fund's board is empowered to do so unilaterally and advise the SEC, as opposed to asking the SEC for permission to toss up the gates.
This is not a small difference folks. Indeed, it is a major problem. You could easily find your so-called "safe" money market fund gated and you unable to get to your money until the fund liquidates – without warning.
So yeah, the funds are now "less vulnerable to runs" as if there's a problem they can immediately bar the door and keep you from leaving with your cash!
That's not quite what you thought that paragraph said, is it?
Many people treat these funds as if they were equivalent to a checking account. Some of the funds will even send you a book of checks!
Investors no longer can reasonably rely on daily liquidity for these funds as a consequence of this change. While under normal conditions daily liquidity remains available it is precisely under abnormal conditions that an investor is likely to most need access to this money instantly, for example to meet a margin call or for other emergency funding requirements.
The inversion of the former rules in this regard means you can no longer treat these as cash equivalents with a higher yield. Indeed, there is damn little reason for anyone to buy these at all now – you're really not any better (or worse) off if you simply deposit the money in Treasury Direct and then buy a ladder of short-term bills – say, 4 or 13-week instruments.
Yes, you'll earn jack doing this. But you're going to earn jack anyway in a money market fund, you won't pay a management fee with a Treasury Direct account, and at least thus far there is no material threat of the US Federal Government throwing up gates.
Inexorably the noose tightens around your neck. Beware.

Got both games last week correct with the correct scoring margin. It will be tough to beat that.
#6 South Carolina 27 @ #11 Georgia 34
Georgia finally beats South Carolina and does so without anyone getting injured during a celebration. Murray plays well and Clowney is blocked well enought to give Murray the time he needs to play well. Both the teams could still be playing for the National Championship come January.
#14 Notre Dame 20 @ #17 Michigan 21
Unlike the first game in which both teams faced real tests last week, neither of these two did. That makes it very difficult to predict the winner and I will lean towards the home team in a close game. Tommy Rees is unable to make enough big plays to take the W.
Upset: No one in the top 10, save SC, has much of a matchup this week. I will take #12 Florida 20 @ Miami 24. Is it a real upset? probably not.
Purdue 42 Indiana State 16
Purdue has never lost to an FCS school nor won by less than 10 so this should be a good, easy win for the Boilers. The first under Hazell.

We are still taking entries for our brilliant gardening competition Cultivation Street – and this year there's a new category marking the outbreak of the First World War one hundred years ago, writes David Domoney in the Sunday People.
We have £20,000 of National Garden Gift Vouchers to share among all our winners – including £500 for the special Commemoration Street category, marking the poignant centenary.
This award will go to the street or area with the best display of poppies honouring those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
One of the most moving entries so far is named Harry's Patch after Harry Patch, from Somerset, the last of Britain's WWI Tommies, who died in 2009, aged 111.
The marvellous project, in Devon, came about when Ivybridge Royal British Legion member Ray Wilson decided he wanted to do something to mark the anniversary.
He said: "I wanted to see what we as a town could do to commemorate all the people from the area who took part in the conflict. Forty-four of them never came back – others came back with the mental and physical scars of war."
The first task was to give every school child in the area a bag of poppy seeds to plant at home.
The huge task involved volunteers filling 5,000 bags by hand with a mix of sand and poppy seeds, to make sowing easy. They then made cards and flyers explaining the scheme, before delivering packs to schools.
Ray, 57, a factory maintenance manager in Plymouth, said: "It was four nights' work for a lot of our members. But I loved meeting young people who said, 'I have planted my poppy seeds' or 'my poppies are growing'. More importantly, when asked why they were growing them, they knew."
The next, more ambitious, project was to create a "Flanders Field" of poppies on unused land in the town, previously seen as an eyesore. It was named Harry's Patch at a dedication ceremony last month.
In October, Ray and his team planted 800 daffodil bulbs and created a wooden sign, after lots of backbreaking work to clear weeds and rubble.
The group then added five river boulders, representing the five years of conflict and the tombstones of soldiers. Benches and pathways were added, before poppy seeds were sown.
Ray said: "We were blessed with a great team of volunteers, and we also had financial support and grants from our local district and county council."
Ivybridge Mayor Karen Pringle said: "The project is an outstanding demonstration of the gratitude that Ivybridge retains for those who served our country during WWI."
Ray added: "I feel we have left a legacy to the town."
How to enter
Applications to enter Cultivation Street 2014 are online.
Fill out an entry form at www.cultivationstreet.co.uk – where you'll also find full terms and conditions.
The competition is free to enter and closes on August 31, 2014.
Participating streets must have a minimum of three adjacent homes taking part – front gardens only – and entrants must be in the UK. One nomination will cover all the homes in the application but details of every house taking part must be included.
Each street should nominate its Champion to receive news and discounts pertaining to the competition. Judges' decisions are final and the promoter cannot take responsibility for lost entries.

As you know, my focus is creativity and how we as parents and caregivers can encourage a fulfilled and creative life in our children as they grow and mature. So, towards that end, I turn to the young child as a social being and how being able to tap into their creativity, which in turn means their ability to solve problems effectively (and with a certain degree of uniqueness) will not only be a step towards living a creative life, but will also serve them socially during this wonderfully unique time in their lives and beyond.
The simple fact is that life is full of all kinds of problems: learning how to use words instead of fists, power struggles with parents or caregivers, having to share your favorite toy during a play date, or any number of situations we humans find ourselves in day after day. And luckily, life is full of even more solutions than there are problems. The game of course is which of the many possible solutions will we choose and how will we be a part of that solution. Certainly, it is a lifelong skill that will serve anyone well.
Pieces of the Problem-solving Puzzle
Our goal is to rear children who can eventually approach the problems they face, socially or otherwise, with a mind towards knowing they can find a solution and learn from their process. Eventually they will gain the confidence in their ability to tackle what life presents them with. The puzzle in parenting can often be helping children to navigate the social situations they find themselves in. Ultimately, there are a few pieces we can share, model and continually reinforce with our children that will help them figure how this puzzle all fits together. They are:
1. Understand that there is something that needs a solution. Just being able to identify that not everyone is feeling good is the first piece in the problem-solving puzzle.
2. Communicate their needs. Give children the words they need to respectfully ask for what they need and desire.
3. Listen to the needs of others. Show children how to be a good listener by repeating what you hear.
4. Recognize a variety of ways to solve the problem. Come up with a variety of solutions and decide on what you will do together. Sometimes children don't like any of the solutions except their own idea. That's okay. Just keep coming up with ideas together, and perhaps help them try to meld a few ideas into one that will work.
Sometimes solving a problem is easier said than done, but with adequate practice, and patience on the part of the guiding adults, children will learn how the pieces in their friendship puzzle all fit together.
Provide Examples
Of course we know that modeling is the best (and as Einstein said, the only) way to learn something. So in an effort to show children that problems indeed do have solutions, talk (age appropriately) about the kinds of problems you are solving each day in your life. Give simple steps to how you solved the problem and especially share some of the things you tried that didn't work so children can also have a model of your perseverance. As well, if you are sharing a simple problem you solved with one of your adult friends or colleagues, talk to children about times that you didn't get your way and how it worked out in the end (i.e., I'm so glad we decided to do what she wanted to do instead because it was so fun!). In addition, tell stories about past problems you've solved using Once when I was little stories.
Another wonderful way to provide models of solving problems is by using picture books and other written or oral stories you might come across.
A few of my favorites include:
Lupe Vargas and Her Super Best Friend by Amy Costales
A lovely story of two great friends who create, play, argue, and eventually solve their problems together. Told in both English and Spanish.
It's Mine by Leo Lionni
The story of three frogs who argue over who owns the pond and island. Eventually, a storm helps them realize and value sharing and each other.
And my personal favorite is The Table Where Rich People Sit by Byrd Baylor.
This is a most amazing story about a family meeting (a wonderful model for any family who wants to incorporate them) and one girl's discovery of what is really valuable in life. Told in prose like only the fabulous Byrd Baylor can.
Keep Keepin' On
Sometimes some friendships and relationships take more time to deepen than others. Although it is a tempting route for sure, don't just give up on playgroups, one-on-one play dates, or other situations that might be initially tough going. The more we can try to understand the phases and stages a particular child might be going through, and help children navigate the dynamics of different social situations, the more they will grow together as friends. As well, they will be building foundations for how they will develop and handle relationships in the future.
Take a Break
Children today have all kinds of opportunities where they are regularly faced with sharing, waiting their turn, and talking about their feelings. Those are all valuable skills, but can easily overwhelm a child if we forget to give them processing time. Especially when children are constantly scheduled or have siblings to contend with, consider just giving them a break from all that. I like to call days like that yes days, days when their choices and desires are honored and valued. After all, by saying yes children then learn the feelings a yes can bring and it trickles into their play and ways of being with the people they come in contact with.
Problem solving, and the ability to do so, doesn't just happen for any human being. It is definitely a learned skill, one that enhances relationships and leads to a more creative life. But it certainly takes work and continued modeling for it to happen. Then one magical day, as children grow and mature, you'll listen from the other room as your child and her friend come to some sort of impasse in their play. Lo and behold, you overhear them use their words, offer ideas, and come to a solution together!

South of Amalfi and Pompeii and just past the Gulf of Salerno, the coast of Italy projects out into the sea in a series of dramatic headlands and broad sweeping bays.
This is the area of Cilento, most of which is protected as a National Park. Your base for the week is a delightful hilltop farm with views overlooking the verdant park. Each day you ride out to explore the surrounding parkland, with a rest day for all in the middle of the week. The routes have been carefully researched, with names that reflect the Greek, Roman and more recent heritage of the area; The Crest of the Gods, Between the Middle Age and Renaissance, the Salt Trail and the Route of the Monks.
On some days you will ride high up into the mountains with tremendous views of the surrounding countryside, on others you head to the shore for faster rides along the sandy beaches. Farm trails lead you through fruit orchards on the valley floor, into terraced olive groves and to beautiful wilderness areas of wild broom, rosemary and fennel. Other routes pass through ancient villages clinging to the steep valley sides where you may stop for a coffee in a local bar.
Accommodation is in beautifully restored cottages, simply decorated and furnished in keeping with the local style. The ensuite bedrooms have tiled floors and high ceilings with fans. It is possible to pay a little more to have your own private veranda. There is also a large swimming pool which is open from mid May to early October.
The food prepared will be an important part of your holiday. Meals are based around the seasons so vegetables and fruits are eaten when they are at their best. At lunch, the support crew meet the riders for a picnic, prepared freshly from the farm kitchen. There is time to stop, relax and find some shade before saddling up for the afternoon ride. At dinner enjoy Italian cooking at its best. Most of the food you eat has been grown and prepared on the farm, from the vegetables and meat to pasta, bread and cured hams. The farm even makes its own cheese and wine. This farm is part of the Slow Food movement which started in Italy, but is now an international organization that aims to counteract fast food and the fast way of life.
On the day of rest, you may choose to relax by the pool, walk into the nearby village or with prior notice we can arrange for you to visit Pompeii or to have a cookery lesson arranged and learn more about the Mediterranean cooking of the area (minimum three people).
Center-based ride
Cilento Journey - Sequence of days may change.
Day 1: Arrival after lunch.
We will greet you and invite you to a welcome drink. Before dinner you will meet with your riding guide for the week to go over the week's itinerary. If still time we will ride for an hour at the riding center to get used to the horses.
Day 2: The Crest of the Gods
Our meeting point is the riding stables of the agritourism in Casal Velino.
After preparing the horses we'll head towards the sea, where we can canter along the sandy beach as far as the foothills of Velia (Elea), cradle of the Eleatic School founded by the famous philosophers Parmenides and Zeno.
Continuing on our way, we'll ride through ancient olive groves and breathe an air rich in history and mythology: we're on the crest of the gods, close to the terraces sacred to Jupiter! Here the trail skirts the walls of the ancient city, immersing us in an exceptional landscape pungent with herbs typical to the Mediterranean maquis.
After this exhilarating morning, we stop for lunch: some excellent home-produced grilled meat, a glass of good wine, warm air, clear sky, lush countryside and great company! There's no better way to unwind for a couple of hours before resuming our journey.
Back in the saddle, we ride down to the plains and reach the stables of the agritourism in the afternoon to the rhythm of trot and canter.
Riding: 5 hours
Day 3: The Mediterranean Food Road
We set off along the road that skirts the hill to the right of the agritourism, and ride for approximately 3 km until we reach the little chapel of St. John, dating 1300, probably built by Basilian monks.
We continue to Celso along trails that immerse you in nature so that you can fully appreciate the beauty of the Mediterranean maquis, with its brooms, bramble, heather, holly oak and rowan. We enter Celso through the arch of Palazzo Mazziotti. Celso, an ancient medieval village dating 1050, was the scene of the events of the Risorgimento in Cilento (1828 and 1848).
After leaving the village (418m above sea level) we continue to Pollica through the green Mediterranean scrubland, passing a young chestnut forest on our way. Meanwhile, a breathtaking view of the sea opens up in front of us! We enter the town by skirting around the Franciscan convent founded in 1611 by Prince Capano. Pollica is a very characteristic town: of particular note are its many beautiful stone doorways and especially the 17th century tower of the palace of the Capano princes which overlooks the village.
Here we stop for a tasty picnic, prepared in-house, accompanied by a refreshing
glass of wine.
Leaving Pollica, we ride along narrow paths, valleys and streams to Pioppi, and so the sea. We will return to the agritourism during the afternoon, buzzing with the emotions of the day.
Riding: 5 hours
Day 4:The Road of the Monks
We ride through a colourful landscape dotted with olive-trees toreach, after 2km, a stream which will lead us to a ford over the river Alento. From here, we ride towards the hills past vineyards and olive-groves, leaving behind us a beautiful view of the Gulf of Casal Velino and Velia Castle.
We ride towards Castel Nuovo Cilento where we will stop to rest, eat and visit the medieval castle. This site of clear medieval origin was a very important bulwark at the time of the saracen invasions. Later it became the administrative centre of the feud of Guido d'Alemagna. On the way back, after a downhill ride through olive-trees, we arrive at Pantana where we find the Franciscan monastery of Saint Clare. In front of us stretches the plain of the river Alento, with its intense cultivation of vegetables.
We ride on towards Isca Longa to cross the river at its shallowest point. From here, past an area of reafforestation of pines and eucaliptus trees, we reach San Giorgio where, according to legend, there was a settlement of monks professing to the Greek rite, before the year 1000. After the war of Vespro (1282-1302) both the settlement and the village were destroyed.
Riding: 5 hours
Day 5: Free day to relax, go to the beach, sight-see Salerno or Pompeii, take part of a cooking class, or just relax at the pool.
Day 6: The Ridge of Mount Stella
Following the paths along the river, we ride through the dense Mediterranean undergrowth with its intense colours and pungent aromas. Then we climb up the hill to the ridge, from where you can enjoy the sight of podolica cows grazing – an ancient breed of cattle with long, lyre-shamed horns. The panorama that opens up to our view is so breathtaking it hardly seems real: a vast expanse of green and olive groves covers the hillsides almost entirely and stretches out towards the azure blue sea.
We stop for lunch at Guarrazzano, a tiny mountain village, but very characteristic. Our tasty picnic is freshly prepared at the agritourism that morning and served outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere - just what we need to replenish our energies and set off with renewed gusto. A few more hours on horseback before heading home.
After the break, we saddle up our horses and ride up to Stella Cilento, known as "Porcili" (pig sties) until the beginning of the 10th century because, as history tells us, the inhabitants of the town were famous for breeding pigs. From here we take the path homeward, reaching the riding stables of the agritourism mid to late afternoon.
Riding: 5 hours
Day 7: The Old Salt Road
A wonderful itinerary in Italy amidst the green olive groves and the sea of Cilento.
Rendezvous at the riding stables of the agritourism situated in Casal Velino. As soon as we're mounted, we'll ride inland leaving the sea behind us, following riverbeds and fields, passing peach orchards and old ruins. The view is breathtaking all the way!
After reaching the hill which overlooks the plain northwards, we'll follow paths through open fields where cows graze freely to join the Old Salt Road, an old trading route which connected the coastal town of Velia and the sea with the inland population - the Enotri.
At lunchtime, we'll relax and enjoy a delicious picnic in the verdant shade of ancient olive trees. Here both horses and riders can take a well-earned rest.
After our break, it's time to saddle up the horses and get back on the road. We'll follow a stream bed downhill to the sea, breathing in the fresh scent of vegetation, and return to the riding stables of the agritourism by mid to late afternoon.
Day 8 Departure after breakfast.
--Subject to changes--

The farm is located in one of the most beautiful spots of the Cilento National Park. The panorama along the road is lovely and spectacular changing from the green olive trees to the blue sea ; the scents of nature are everywhere. The farm is laid out on 40 acres of private land. In a valley of oak trees, olives and wine yards you'll find the riding track and riding school, the sheep-fold and pigsty. The main part of the farm consists in old stables, now restored; there is a spacious and comfortable restaurant where you can try the best local food and regional wines, a little store room and shop for our products and also a small cheese factory where we produce our own special goat cheese.
To complete the farm there is a swimming pool (opens at the end of April) and two cottages with nicely furnished rooms or apartments and wide open spaces to offer you relaxing hours and freedom of movement.
Different kinds of accommodations will satisfy every need of the guests: rooms and apartments all well furnished, spacious and comfortable surrounded by a wonderful nature and beautiful view.
The accommodations offer all comforts, terraces, gardens and are all nearby the wonderful swimming-pool and solarium in order to enjoy sunny days and a magical atmosphere.
Flavours of Cilento
Looking for the traditional ancient flavours is our unicity. Those flavours, often only a memory, are re-proposed by the family with an innovating taste. The wine cellar offers not only our excellent wine but also some of the best labels of the region Campania. A little shop inside the farm allows you to buy the self-made products such as the highly appreciated goat-cheese made in their own little cheese factory.
Typical farm products
The aim is to prepare only products with genuine and high quality ingredients; to transform traditional recipes in order to remain in the heart of those who will want to taste them. Everything is prepared by the family's hands which have been working for years now with passion and knowledge. You can see it in the taste of the conserves, sweet and salty, sausages, salami, goat cheeses, extra virgine olive oil, wine, liquors and honey.
The Lodgings:
Casa Mortella
In the middle of the splendid nature right next to the pool stands Casa Mortella, made of local stone.

In each room there is also a kettle so that guests can make themselves a nice cup of tea any time of day. There are tables and chairs on the outside of every room. The upper floor "Il Corbezzolo" is an apartment bookable by a group.
Il Corbezzolo
On the upper floor of Casa Mortella, there is an apartment called "Il Corbezzolo" ideal for a family of maximum four people. It is reached via an external staircase. It has a large bedroom with a splendid view on the hills, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchen. The children are accommodated on a rustic bunk bed. The large terrace overlooking our olive-trees will make your stay pleasant and comfortable and invites you to relaxing evenings, drinking some good local wine while enjoying the overwhelming quiet and the scents of nature.

There are four comfortable double-rooms on the ground floor each with mini-bar and private bathroom with shower. Each room is equipped with safe, mini-bar and kettle so that you can make a refreshing cup of tea at any time of day and maybe drink it in the garden which surrounds the house, under the shade of an olive tree, and gaze at the enchanting nature that surrounds you.

The small terrace at the front of the house, complete with parasol, wooden table and chairs, is the perfect place for al fresco dining. Altogether, the scent of the surrounding flowers and the views over the gulf, make for an unforgettable stay. On clear days you can admire a long section of the Cilentan coast stretching from Velia to Palinuro. Casa Pendio is just 1.5 kilometers from the agritourism which means that despite being an independent house in the heart of the town, it can also take advantage of all the services offered by the agritourism (use of the pool, half board option, free wi-fi connection, riding stables, participation in proposed activities and excursions, etc.).
The house has no private parking but there is ample space for cars out front.
I Lavatoi
Independant apartment in the historical center of Casal Velino right in front of the ancient wash-basins which used to be a meeting-point for all women of the town.

From this room you can go out onto the terrace which has a breathtaking view of the green hills to the left and the blue Cilentan sea to the right.
The apartment is fully air-conditioned and equipped with a washing machine. Despite being external to the agritourism, the apartment enjoys all the services on offer to in-house guests (use of the pool, half-board option, free wi-fi, riding stables, participation in activities and excursions, etc).
The house doesn't have its own parking space but guests are invited to make use of the public ones just a few steps away.

|Wishful Thinking
From Sylvia - 13 Jan 2008
How could anyone be so cruel as to do this to poor defenseless animals? I saw the clip of the US soldier who shot the stray dog, and I burst out crying. Any human who has ever done anything this cruel and evil to an animal should have the same thing done to them.
We say we are the creations of God, we are not. No creation of God would ever be so cruel and evil to another life, whether human or animal. Those people have hearts of stone and take pleasure in other creatures suffering and death.
Why do humans do these things? This must be stopped. We must do something. What can someone do to prevent this type of evil and cruelty? Is there a place we can write letters to or protest to stop this type of torture?
I'm willing to help stop these crimes at any cost.
Thank you, Sylvia
Dear Sylvia:
Thank you very much for writing. We totally agree with your sentiments.
Unfortunately most of these things are still going on. This is why it is so important for all of us to tell as many people as we can and encourage them to do the same. Public opinion can and will make a positive difference.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary

text: LONDON — Prince Mashour bin Saud Abdulaziz: Son of Saudi Arabia's former king, Saud, nephew of King Fahd. Also: Potential political dynamite. He is charged with conspiring to smuggle cocaine into Britain and Friday a magistrate ordered him held in custody for another six days. Bail was refused after the prosecution told the court Abdulaziz has no diplomatic immunity. Government sources say that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is being kept informed about developments in the case because of what it may mean to relations with Saudi Arabia. They have recovered from a low point in 1980 that was caused by a British TV show on the execution of a Saudi princess and her lover.
