Trillions in stock market value – gone. Trillions in retirement savings – gone. A huge chunk of the money you paid for your house, the money you're saving for college, the money your boss needs to make payroll – gone, gone, gone.
Whether you're a stock broker or Joe Six-pack, if you have a 401(k), a mutual fund or a college savings plan, tumbling stock markets and sagging home prices mean you've lost a whole lot of the money that was on your account statements just a few months ago.
But if you no longer have that money, who does? The fat cats on Wall Street? Some oil baron in Saudi Arabia? The government of China?
Or is it just … gone?
If you're looking to track down your missing money – figure out who has it now, maybe ask to have it back – you might be disappointed to learn that is was never really money in the first place.
Robert Shiller, an economist at Yale, puts it bluntly: The notion that you lose a pile of money whenever the stock market tanks is a "fallacy." He says the price of a stock has never been the same thing as money – it's simply the "best guess" of what the stock is worth.
"It's in people's minds," Shiller explains. "We're just recording a measure of what people think the stock market is worth. What the people who are willing to trade today – who are very, very few people – are actually trading at. So we're just extrapolating that and thinking, well, maybe that's what everyone thinks it's worth."
Shiller uses the example of an appraiser who values a house at $350,000, a week after saying it was worth $400,000.
"In a sense, $50,000 just disappeared when he said that," he said. "But it's all in the mind."
Though something, of course, is disappearing as markets and real estate values tumble. Even if a share of stock you own isn't a wad of bills in your wallet, even if the value of your home isn't something you can redeem at will, surely you can lose potential money – that is, the money that would be yours to spend if you sold your house or emptied out your mutual funds right now.
And if you're a few months away from retirement, or hoping to sell your house and buy a smaller one to help pay for your kid's college tuition, this "potential money" is something you're counting on to get by. For people who need cash and need it now, this is as real as money gets, whether or not it meets the technical definition of the word.
Still, you run into trouble when you think of that potential money as being the same thing as the cash in your purse or your checking account.
"That's a big mistake," says Dale Jorgenson, an economics professor at Harvard.
There's a key distinction here: While the money in your pocket is unlikely to just vanish into thin air, the money you could have had, if only you'd sold your house or drained your stock-heavy mutual funds a year ago, most certainly can.
"You can't enjoy the benefits of your 401(k) if it's disappeared," Jorgenson explains. "If you had it all in financial stocks and they've all gone down by 80 percent – sorry! That is a permanent loss because those folks aren't coming back. We're gonna have a huge shrinkage in the financial sector."
There was a time when nobody had to wonder what happened to the money they used to have. Until paper money was developed in China around the ninth century, money was something solid that had actual value – like a gold coin that was worth whatever that amount of gold was worth, according to Douglas Mudd, curator of the American Numismatic Association's Money Museum in Denver.
Back then, if the money you once had was suddenly gone, there was a simple reason – you spent it, someone stole it, you dropped it in a field somewhere, or maybe a tornado or some other disaster struck wherever you last put it down.
But these days, a lot of things that have monetary value can't be held in your hand.
If you choose, you can pour most of your money into stocks and track their value in real time on a computer screen, confident that you'll get good money for them when you decide to sell. And you won't be alone – staring at millions of computer screens are other investors who share your confidence that the value of their portfolios will hold up.
But that collective confidence, Jorgenson says, is gone. And when confidence is drained out of a financial system, a lot of investors will decide to sell at any price, and a big chunk of that money you thought your investments were worth simply goes away.
If you once thought your investment portfolio was as good as a suitcase full of twenties, you might suddenly suspect that it's not.
In the process, of course, you're losing wealth. But does that mean someone else must be gaining it? Does the world have some fixed amount of wealth that shifts between people, nations and institutions with the ebb and flow of the economy?
Jorgenson says no – the amount of wealth in the world "simply decreases in a situation like this." And he cautions against assuming that your investment losses mean a gain for someone else – like wealthy stock speculators who try to make money by betting that the market will drop.
"Those folks in general have been losing their shirts at a prodigious rate," he said. "They took a big risk and now they're suffering from the consequences.
"Of course, they had a great life, as long as it lasted."

Data show that nearly half of Delhi's population lives in slums or unauthorised colonies. Among various other reasons, the Delhi Rent Control Act, which has been challenged in the Delhi High Court recently, is responsible for the present state of affairs. The Act, its critics claim, hurts the interests of landlords and tenants in equal measures. Landlords in the national capital's central locations such as the City Zone, the Sadar, Paharganj Zone, Karol Bagh Zone and Civil Lines do not pay house tax because their earnings from these rent-controlled properties are meagre. Tenants of such properties also refrain from paying taxes because they fear that the property will fall out of the rent control regime if they pay the tax. Apart from making housing expensive, rent control laws are also the reason why many buildings in Delhi are poorly maintained.
However, Delhi's experience is not unique. Throughout the world, rent control laws make housing expensive and hurt the interests of landlords and tenants, especially the low-income households. Unlike other Asian countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan which became prosperous as they made housing affordable by repealing rent control laws. In fact, rent control laws were imposed in most countries during the World War-II but were either repealed or mellowed over the next few decades. In Delhi, where the Rent Control Act was imposed in 1939, the law went through an evolution till 1959, but did not undergo major changes.
A look at how the archaic Act hurts Delhi's economy:

Fast Ski Hill!
Fast Ski Hill!
Review Of:
I love skiing! When we first heard about Alpine Valley I did not stop begging my parents to let me go. Finally, they did and we went to Alpine. Alpine Valley is a very fun ski resort in East Troy Wi. They have 2 terrain parks, and other hills ranging from easy, to hard. They have a bunny hill, and a ski chalet. The ski chalet has vending machines, and other food. It also has a restaurant up stair. Also, they have ski and snowboard, so you're set to do those things. It is a very nice resort, and expensive, but worth every penny. Come to Alpine, take my advice, and you'll love it.

|By Trinity Nicole Miller, Petite Elite MS National Queen,
Today's International/American Woman Pageant
Pageant preparation takes a lot of time and a lot of work as every pageant queen knows. At the national level, there are ALOT of experienced contestants and it is not an easy task to win. I personally prepare for an entire year before a competition. Since I own a marketing company and regularly promote my business and title, it is relatively easy for me to sit behind the computer from early morning to late evening. That is what I do. I'm a nerd, business woman,community servant, beauty queen...in that order. I do indeed spend a lot of time on my computers, but I am also able to balance that with family/friend time..Until the last year.
I had a boyfriend this year when I was trying to win my TAW national title who I assumed would support my pageantry, being that we were in a committed relationship and I supported the things that he was interested in on a regular basis.
It was going to be a very tough competition and I needed to be way on top of my game. I practiced my platform speech daily while cleaning house, working, gardening or hanging out in the pool. Any chance I got to practice, I was giving my speech. For several months before the competition, I went to appearances and meetings for the pageant as well as my business. Every time I would leave the house, I would get accused of not being where I said I was, even when I cam home with photos. I got very tired of having to fight every time I went somewhere, so the last few weeks before I left for the competition, my appearances suffered. I noticed that the closer I got to the competition, the more distant and rude he became about it. The week before I left he barely spoke to me. I left for the trip and thought that once I was at the pageant, everything would be OK. I had a very long 38 hour trip and was ready to begin my quest for the crown and have someone I loved to talked to and encourage me in between rehearsals and competitions. I was in for a big shock. This guy who claimed to love me, called and texted me every single day and evening accusing me of cheating and partying rather than the activities going on at the pageant. He actually called right before evening gown competition and told me I wasnt about to get on stage, that I was "out partying".....yelling at me.... WOW. After all of the effort I put in so far, and I am about to walk on stage for the final time in my beautiful gown, I get yelled at that I am cheating.....that I am out partying....that the last year of my efforts as he watched me prepare, were just a joke to him. It broke my heart and truly knocked the wind out of my sails.
If there had not been about 40 women in the dressing room at the time listening to this, I dont think anyone would believe me. It rattled me for a minute and then one of my pageant sisters, Selma Johnson, Golden Ms Texas, talked to me and suddenly all was well with the world again. I went on to rock the stage and win my crown, however it could very easily gone the other way. The truth is, I have never had a husband or boyfriend that supported my pageantry. That incident could have ruined my attitude and cost me the crown. Thankfully, that did not happen. I now represent Today's International/American Woman Pageants for the next year as the TAW Petite Elite Ms 2015 National Queen. With this crown, I will be able to put my platform charity, Panhandle Mothers Against Methamphetamine, as well as my other causes on a national platform and get them the attention they need to find new sponsors, donors , volunteers and funding. I trained for a year and competed for this crown for the simple fact that I want to use it to help as many people in my community as I can. I think of the many goals I wrote on my goal board and I am so happy that I am going to be able to do so much good for so many people....its a dream come true.
I began to look back and see some things my now ex-boyfriend said and did that should have told me that I needed to disconnect from this person. As a survivor of domestic abuse for over 20 years, I know better. I know that mental abuse can be even more devastating than physical abuse. You don't have to be hit to be mistreated. There are some things you can look for in your relationships (and even in your family members) that will tell you if you are being sabotaged.
Does your guy..
· Discourage you from attending events and appearances?
· Barely listen or ignore you when you are discussing your title and upcoming competition?
· Tell you that you are 'too involved' with your causes/pageant?
· Make you feel guilty for taking time away from them to practice, make appearances, etc.?
· Accuse you of cheating or partying when you are at events or appearances?
· Make conflicting plans at times you are appearing/volunteering/etc?
I came home from the competition, moved back to my house, and started over...2 hours after arriving home after 36 hours on a bus. 'Sometimes when you win, you lose'. He was still accusing me of cheating as he left my house. He also kept my new kitty. Rude. Luckily I have a very good friend who talked with me all the way home, and cooked some amazingly good and healthy food for me knowing I had been on that bus very stressed and had not eaten or slept. He also talked with me from a man's point of view and encouraged me to get back on my goals and move on. Its interesting to find out who your real friends are when you are in this situation.
The bottom line is, if you don't have the right guy in your life, this will hinder your efforts, which will be the difference between a win and a loss. I like to look at it this way, "Its better to have NO boyfriend than a BAD boyfriend"

Dear Parents,
Teachers create gardens in their classrooms. They grow "love," "hope," "learning," and "joy." At Prodigy Public School, the child is the nucleus of the entire teaching learning process.

Every possible care is taken to ensure that our mentoring staff is of the highest possible quality in terms of dedication, talent and passion. The role of mentors extends much beyond classroom teaching. Mentors at Prodigy are accessible to parents and students alike for one-to-one consultations, are helpful in addressing individual educational needs and eager to help.
In Prodigy, children can just be children and not rote machines, creativity is nurtured and not killed, no boundaries for learning and trying new ideas and children breathe in a free flowing, energized environment.

Capuchin Monkey Habitat
Capuchin monkeys are classified under the genus Cebus and are a part of the group of new world monkeys. Capuchin monkeys are lean and agile and weigh between 3 to 9 pounds. Usually, their fur is cream or light tan in appearance around the neck, face and shoulders. The remaining body fur is dark brown in color. The hair on their back is shorter compared to other body part. Their face color can either be white, pink or a mixture of these two colors. Capuchin monkeys have a long tail full of thick hair and to a certain extent can wrap around branches.
Capuchin monkeys are arboreal and diurnal just like their peers. Throughout the day, they spend time searching for food and only take a short nap in the afternoon. At night, capuchin monkeys rest on trees, packed between branches. Cats, snakes and falcons are considered to be grave foes of this monkey. The is no particular capuchin monkey habitat, as they are highly undemanding. These monkeys are said to be the most intelligent among all new world monkeys.
Habitat of Capuchin Monkey
As mentioned earlier, the exact capuchin monkey habitat range is not known. However, it is believed that these monkeys mainly inhibit areas of Honduras, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru among other regions in central and south America. Capuchin monkeys prefer to stay in large groups of about 10 to 40 in the forests, but they can conveniently adapt themselves to other places as well. All group members hunt for feeding grounds. These monkeys are able to jump high (3 meters), and use this to their advantage for the purpose of moving about. Capuchin monkeys dip their hands and feet in urine, to leave a scent which helps them in identifying their area. Capuchin monkeys often stay on tree tops and only get down for drinking water.

Rock-a-Bye Babies, Caribbean Queens and Ritzy Renditions, custom handmade dolls and their clothing lines, were recently launched at Upmarket, Woodbrook Youth Facility, Port-of-Spain by Yoko Fung...
You are here
Ava claims her space
On Sunday evening at the Central Bank Auditorium, Port-of-Spain, Ava Hutchinson made her most ambitious step. She claimed her space as a singing/pianist songwriter artiste. In her words "After my recent health issues and being given a second chance, I said to myself, 'You have done the four CDs for the children, as well as the inspirational book '52 Facets of Woman' so now its time to give your songs a hearing."
It was a remarkable show for Hutchinson, the culmination of a long journey, of finding her way to herself. It was her first time anchoring her own show, more importantly, performing her own compositions. And she knew the significance of the moment.
Her songs of love and healing succeeded in commanding the attention of a capacity audience. She opened her set with a symbolic affirmation of self in the lyrics of Good Enough, one of her earliest compositions. This song has come to free her to address issues of what Love Is as it colours experiences, especially, the hurt and the disappointments that implore you to Don't Dream. The compositions opened Hutchinson up to sing convincingly. She says Life is What You Make It, even when life may often dump you on a See-Saw Love, and yes, there are sad moments, but they are only a preparation for the Shining Knight' who leaves memories with You Got Me Smiling. For Hutchinson, love, with its ups and downs, is a real thing, it is the essence of joy and the force for overcoming difficult circumstances. The lyrics explore personal spaces, but they are primarily, songs of hope and renewal, hope for The Healing, as accepting reality and for finding the strength not just to survive, but to thrive.
Hutchinson's drive to perform her lyrics and music presented an exciting challenge. How to incorporate this particular set of nuanced words and reflective tunes into a live concert with her supporting guest artistes, especially, in a space as intimate as the Central Bank Auditorium? Achieving a balance was important, eg, on the Jazz Pickle, a group whose high shoulders she has relied all these years. In her words "I knew that Trini audiences might be overwhelmed with originals, so I decided to showcase the Jazz Pickle as well as Ralph "Shearing" Davies and Friends to the mix. I had a 'girlie' tea lime to introduce my music, and after listening, enjoying and commenting on what was thrust upon them, I was inspired to go the next step...the show."
The Jazz Pickle played well-loved jazz standards which created the mood for drawing in the audience. The show, however was re-imagined by Ralph Davies, featuring vocals from Faye Husbands, Lois Hutchinson, Timothy Newton, Harold Richards and Ian Henderson on alto saxophone all serving as delightful turning points, with accents in a really joyful groove. They created spaces in which the audience could reflect on the music, sing along and enjoy songs that have defined so much of their lives. Davies' touch with the piano, so gentle, so authoritative, innovative and fantastic in its musicality took the evening into another realm. He took the audience into rapture. Davies the maestro at 89, knew precisely how to complete the show, wowing the crowd with his elbow in a note at the end.
In Hutchinson's words: "Ralph has always been a humble soul, willing to assist in any way he can, and his ability to share and show his skills and technique always produces in us all an enthusiastic guttural response. He has experienced and heard so much that his wealth of knowledge and mentorship brings us all musicians closer to playing that much better, not to mention the importance of daily practise. His fingers are still the best around, as he never fails to excite with his 'scalic' and 'arpeggiated' lines and passages, the riffs, the cadenzas, his rhythmic comping and his melodic improvisations, not to mention his flair for dynamics."
This show—Of Love and Life—has the potential to redefine Ava Hutchinson in the Trinidad musical landscape. It presented her voice as that of a strong woman, impassioned, alternatively full of laughter and tinged with the sadness of experience, the tone of which is upbeat, richly textured and meditative. It gets to the point of her lyrics quickly and is the context for the music of her well- defined piano accompaniment. Her sound is overwhelmingly personal, the intimate colouring of experience and the desire to be true to the expression of self—herself.

This film adaptation of Never Let Me Go falls into one of those science-fiction-films-that-people-dont-consider-science-fiction-films categories. The film is made by Mark Romanek who is primarily known as a music video director but has stepped up to direct two other feature films with the very strange Static (1986), which should be a cult film, and the Robin Williams study in disturbed obsession One Hour Photo (2002). The script is from Alex Garland. Garland started out as a novelist with the popular The Beach (1996), which was badly adapted into a film by Danny Boyle with The Beach (2000) from a script by Garland. Despite the mangled results, Garland and Danny Boyle worked together for his next two films 28 Days Later (2002) and Sunshine (2007). It is with these that Alex Garland demonstrated a clear preference for science-fiction he has also written the scripts for the comic-book adaptation Dredd (2012), as well as the long-announced remake of Logans Run (1976) and Peter Jackson produced film based on the Halo videogame. Garland made his directorial debut with the excellent artificial intelligence film Ex Machina (2015), which was followed by Annihilation (2018).
From the point that it opens, Never Let Me Go strikes in with something unusual that leaves you constantly trying to piece together what world it takes place in. The opening title card talks about a medical breakthrough in 1952 that by 1967 has allowed people lifespans beyond the age of 100. You read it and then sit wondering if you misread the figure of 100 years. As the rest of the film sets in, first with the setting of 1978 and then other dates in the past, you are puzzled because it seems such a familiar world to us, yet the initial mention of 100 year old lifespans sits as incongruous. Everything about the scenario becomes a casual tease, one that is designed to absorb us in a familiar world to anyone who has watched any number of British dramas and yet offset us with strange things the children at the boarding school talking about being afraid of what will happen if they go beyond the walls of the grounds, undergoing lessons in learning day-to-day things such as how to order cups of tea in a cafe, or where they have to regularly click tags on an electronic scanner. The only conclusion that you eventually come to it is that what is taking place does so in some implied alternate world setting, even though the film never comes out and explains anything about the historical scenario behind this.
We then come to the classroom scene where Sally Hawkins delivers a beautifully written speech about how the children will never grow up and tells them of their purpose in life as organ donors. It is then we suddenly realise that what we are in the midst of is a scenario identical to The Island (2005) and before that the B-movie Parts: The Clonus Horror (1979). All three films, The Island, The Clonus Horror and Never Let Me Go depict a community hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world where those present are clones (although the film here is a little vague about where exactly the children come from with several oblique references to their originals implying that they are clones, while also saying how they are taken from societys rejects suggesting that they are perhaps orphans or fostered) who have been raised solely to be used as organ donors. That said, Never Let Me Go could not be at more of a 180 degree remove from The Island. Where Michael Bay mounted The Island as a bludgeoning, heavy-handed action film, Never Let Me Go is more like a pastoral British childhood drama where its effect lies in the tender emotion engendered rather than loud action moves. Where The Island blew the main surprise of the scenario in the advertising campaign before one had even sit down to watch the film, the story here is constructed as a cleverly unveiling series of constant surprises about the true nature of the world that the characters live in. It would be difficult to find two films on near-identical subjects that are further apart in terms of their approaches. Moreover, while both The Island and The Clonus Horror react to the scenario with horror, Never Let Me Go is far more morally ambiguous mostly the characters seem accepting of their fate, while Carey Mulligans heroine even takes a role as a carer, helping facilitate the passage of the other donors towards their deaths.
I was surprised and amazed by Never Let Me Go in numerous ways. Normally, a literary writer dabbling in science-fiction imparts the genre with something overly meaningful or is about authors approaching the genre with condescension and thinking they can uplift it yet they showing they are not always as versed with genre conventions as those who have been writing genre material all their lives. A perfect example you could point to here is the film adaptation of Doris Lessings Memoirs of a Survivor (1981). However, Never Let Me Go works as extremely good science-fiction. Both Mark Romanek and Alex Garland deliver some of their best work. Garland in the way he allows the film to work as a beautifully subtle series of constantly unfolding revelations about the characters world and the grimness of their fated role in it, before reaching a tragically saddening ending.
The film is even more impressive in terms of what Mark Romanek does. He captures a quintessentially British world and pastoral landscape. The film could easily be a nostalgic look back at a rural/boarding school childhood you could compare it to British dramas like To Serve Them All My Days (1980-1), A Month in the Country (1987), even an episode of tvs Emmerdale Farm (1972 ). The great surprise about reading up afterwards is to realise that Romanek is an American it is of considerable wonder that a drama with such an instinctive feel for the colour and behaviour of a British world would come from someone outside of that background. The mood and world he carries us into is seamless. The film is all the more effective for absorbing us in such bucolic quietude and using this to deceptively house a disturbing dystopian scenario.
The minor complaint is that for all that Never Let Me Go wishes to invest us in the lives of the characters and their romance, Andrew Garfield (just before breakthrough success in The Social Network (2010) and being cast as the new Spider-Man) never comes across as anything more than awkward and gawky as the male lead. That said, Carey Mulligan, an actress whose name has been upheld in a big way in the last two years, impresses with a mixture of almost prototypical peaches-and-cream shyness and soft intelligence. Her work here certainly pegs her as someone worth watching out for in future.

TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test)
TKT gives teachers a strong foundation in the core areas of teaching knowledge needed in the English language teaching classroom. It is ideal for all teachers, whatever their background and teaching experience, and is also suitable for people who would like to teach English but do not yet have a teaching position. Anyone wishing to take TKT is strongly advised to have at least an intermediate level of English — Level B1 according to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
TKT has three core modules:
- Module 1 — Language and background to language learning and teaching:
- Module 2 — Planning lessons and use of resources for language teaching:
- Module 3 — Managing the teaching and learning process:
These modules can be taken together in one exam session or separately, in any order, over three sessions. Each module consists of a test of 80 objective questions, lasting 80 minutes, which require you to select the correct answer and mark this on a computerised answer sheet.
Results for TKT are described as being in one of four band scores 1-4. There is no Pass/Fail. Every candidate receives a certificate for each module taken.

Fort Lauderdale: Venice of America
More than 300 miles of navigable inland waterways wind through palatial estates, citrus groves and the unique and exotic Everglades — beckoning boats of all sizes and shapes. It is the Intracoastal Waterway — stretching south to Miami — and the waterfront homes which dot it, that have earned Greater Fort Lauderdale its reputation as the "Venice of America."
Sun-seekers from all over the world come to Fort Lauderdale to play, relax, and sometimes even to work. Although long thought to be only for the "rich and famous" that can afford luxurious lifestyles, loyal visitors know that the area offers a wide variety of accommodations and experiences.
First, let's look at some frequently asked questions about Fort Lauderdale:
What is Fort Lauderdale's weather like? Fort Lauderdale's Average Monthly Temperature and Precipitation
When Is Hurricane Season? The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and ends November 30, with the highest storm probability is from August... through October. More Hurricane Information
Is Fort Lauderdale still a popular spring break destination? Not so much. "Where the Boys Are," the 1960 hit feature film brought spring breakers flocking to Fort Lauderdale. However, by the mid-1980s, the city was tired of its rowdy reputation and discouraged spring breakers by banning open containers in public. Soon, developers began drawing a classier crowd by sprucing up the beach, opening trendy restaurants and boutique hotels.
Is it true that Fort Lauderdale is a popular gay and lesbian vacation destination? Yes. Once the cheap hotels and fast-food eateries along a one-mile strip of Ocean Drive from Sunrise Boulevard to Las Olas were replaced by trendy restaurants and upscale shops, the city began marketing the city about 15 years ago to more sophisticated travelers, including gay and lesbians seeking an upscale tropical getaway.Continue to 2 of 4 below.

Microsoft Exchange 2010's large mailboxes and low IOPS per mailbox makes SATA HDD a good fit for Exchange 2010 mailbox server storage.
Recently, there are some interests in using SSDs (Solid State Disk) with Exchange 2010 in the marketplace. Just do a search of "exchange 2010 ssd", and you will find a number of hits.
SSD is well known for its fast IO speed, high cost and low capacity. On paper, this looks like the opposite of what Exchange 2010 needs. So, why the interests?
First of all, SSD prices continue to fall. And during 2012, the cost per GB of SSD has dropped below $1, according to the Tech Report. This makes SSDs more affordable and no doubt will boost the adoption of SDDs. Don't get me wrong, the prices of SSDs are still much higher in comparison to that of HDDs. However, SSD's dramatic price decrease over the last year made it more attractive.
Secondly, it is true that SSD capacities are still very small, comparing to that of HDDs. It is also true that Exchange 2010's mailbox sizes are quite large, in the order of 1GB to 10GB. However, it is important to realize that not all data within a user's mailbox has the same usage pattern. For example, a typical Exchange 2010 user may keep 2-year's worth of emails inside the mailbox. But only emails of the three most recent months get heavily used (read, referenced, replied, forwarded, etc.) In other words, frequently used data inside a mailbox is only about 12.5% of the total mailbox size.
So, quite naturally, a good use of SSD with Exchange 2010 is to put most recent emails on faster, more expensive and smaller SSDs and older emails on slower, cheaper and larger HDDs, preferably SATA drives.

Following the damning report into Barnet Council's legal governance failings, leading Barnet Labour figures have written to the Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government demanding that Barnet Council be subject to a best value inspection.
Letter below.
Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP
Secretary of State
Department for Communities and Local Government
2 Marsham Street
London SW1P 4DF
14 October 2014
Dear Secretary of State
Claer Lloyd-Jones' report into governance at Barnet Council – best value inspection
You will be aware that the external legal report into Barnet Council published last week identified serious failings in the council's governance.
These included the payment of allowances to councillors without a lawfully approved system being in place and decision papers that were legally incorrect being presented to councillors on the issues of allowances and the council's committee structure.
Lloyd Jones' report noted that 'there is no-one who understands local government law in depth at Barnet' and that council committees were not properly and lawfully set up in terms of political proportionality. Barnet has not had an in-house legal department since September 2012, when all of Barnet's legal functions were delegated to Harrow council.
The Lloyd-Jones report does not examine decisions by councillors or legal advice given to them prior to May 2014 and there is now serious concern that many other decisions have been made without legal advice or with incorrect legal advice.
This raises the further concern that poorly advised decision-making has lost or wasted council tax payers' money and Government grants administered by your Department.
There must be no cover up of any financial losses caused by these failings.
We believe that the amount of money that has been lost or put at risk can only be established through a best value inspection, to be ordered by you using your powers under the Local Government Act 1999.
We ask that the inspection considers all decisions since April 2012, when Barnet decided to close its in-house legal department.
Only a comprehensive best value inspection can give council tax payers a complete picture of the losses incurred. In particular, we would suggest that the inspectors should investigate Barnet's decision to fight on and defend its unlawful policies on residents' parking permits in the High Court and the Court of Appeal in 2012 and 2013.
Barnet has still not settled its legal costs in the case it lost in July 2013 and thousands of residents have still not been refunded for the unlawful excess parking charges which Barnet made them pay, totalling more than £2m. Barnet's legal costs and the costs of the residents' lawyers are estimated at more than £600,000.
We ask that the decision in July that seven Conservative councillors with property interests in the private rented sector were entitled to vote on an accreditation scheme for landlords should be reviewed.
Council tax payers need to know if the lack of legal knowledge at Barnet contributed to the indefensible decisions to cut playschemes for disabled children and remove housing rights from victims of domestic violence.
The inspectors should also review legal agreements with external contractors to ensure there has been no re-occurrence of payments to suppliers without contracts, as happened with the security firm MetPro which was paid £1.4m over six years.
We would also ask you to confirm whether you have discussed the situation at Barnet with Mike Freer, MP for Finchley and Golders Green, who was until recently your Parliamentary Private Secretary, or with Matthew Offord, MP for Hendon.
Mr Freer was responsible for the drive to contract out most of Barnet's professional services when he was leader of the council from 2006-2009, with Mr Offord as deputy leader.
We would like to know if Mr Freer or Mr Offord discussed Barnet's governance with you. The Council's failings have been obvious for a long time and we would expect you as Secretary of State to be concerned about decisions taken at Barnet.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Sackman (Labour Parliamentary candidate for Finchley & Golders Green),
Amy Trevethan (Labour Parliamentary candidate for Chipping Barnet),
Andrew Dismore (Labour Parliamentary candidate for Hendon), and London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden
Cllr Alison Moore, Leader of Barnet Council Labour Group

Glenn Beck once again blasted critics of his full-throated defense of Facebook – this time by calling out Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report for being biased against Hillary Clinton.
Beck has been attacking Facebook's conservative critics ever since the damage control meeting he and 16 other conservatives had with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week following reports from several Facebook whistleblowers that the site's news curators actively suppress conservative stories in their "trending" news section while simultaneously boosting the signal of leftwing causes like Black Lives Matter.
Beck, who has become Zuckerberg's staunchest defender on the right, took to his Facebook page today to call out Matt Drudge for alleged bias against the Democratic frontrunner.
He posted a screenshot of the latest Drudge headline image and wrote:
So, those who claim to be "conservatives" complain to Facebook about bias.
Why should we demand more from them when we accept clear bias and smears on the left?
Bill Cosby is being told to stand trial for rape.
Drudge rightfully led with the story. How long did it take to find the picture that would also smear Hillary?
No sympathy for Hillary as she has led the way smearing the right for decades. But, should we hold a higher standard or have we decided that the ends justify the means?
Can we complain about bias at Facebook and be taken seriously when we are quiet about our side?
Of course, lost in Beck's moral equivalence is the fact that the Drudge Report is owned and operated by a private American citizen, Matt Drudge. Facebook, on the other hand, is a multinational publicly traded corporation.
Drudge, who rose to prominence in the 1990s due to his willingness to post stories about the Clinton scandals that mainstream news organizations deliberately spiked, has never hidden his political leanings, consistently describing himself over the years as a conservative and a populist.

Appalaichian Trail to Scales Trail Loop is a 9.3 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Mill Creek, Virginia that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
Located in Grayson County in the far southwest corner of Virginia, just a short distance from the North Carolina border. It can be reached by traveling on I-81 South to Marion, VA. At Marion take VA 16 South (Buchanon Highway) to Trout Dale. From there head west on VA 603. In 2 miles make left onto USFS 613. After about 2.5 miles go through gate and park within fenced camping/parking area. Trailhead is marked as Appalachian Trail, just beside camp host trailer. Note, USFS 613 is a very rough road, not really intended for passenger cars. Though I did make the trip in a minivan, something with a more reasonable clearance is definately recommended.
From an elevation standpoint this is definitely a moderate rating but when you factor in the roots and the rocks it makes this hike much more difficult.
Beautiful high county nothing to steep but still vary rock and awesome the ponies are cool some are friendly and some not so friendly but it's beautiful and I highly recommend it
I hiked from Massie Gap in Grayson Highlands State Park to the Mount Rogers summit (November 2015) on a beautiful and unseasonably warm day. The open views on this section of the AT are spectacular. I really enjoyed crossing Wilburn Ridge. I took the more direct and rocky route on the way out and the somewhat less challenging 'bypass' on the way back. The trail also takes you through Rhododendron Gap and by the Thomas Knob Shelter (shortly before the Summit Spur). There was a mommy pony and her young pony hanging out in front of the shelter as I passed (not to mention many more that I saw along the way).

Did a section of this trail and combined it with a longer route. Gorgeous views, but it does get cold and windy in late October. We brought our dog and she loved it.
Great hike to get out doors and see nature. I did this hike in early April and was able to see and talk to Appalachian Trail Thru Hikers as they came thru.
One of the better experiences I've ever had in the backcountry. Our group got to get up pretty close to the ponies and it was just an excellent adventure. We can't wait to go back and climb mt. rogers!
thdtkhdyo wgvokkczorcna u flut gal
roy w.
crest was a big let down , but getting there was a nice hike , not very well marked . but still enjoyable hiked in from Grayson state park
Awesome trail with great views. I actually did this loop starting and finishing from the Thomas Knob shelter at the tail end of a four day backpacking trip from Damascus. In August there were blackberries a plenty and I ended up not diving into my gorp sack the entire day. As always the free range ponies are fun to watch in this area. Highly recommend this area for hiking. I've included a link to my full write-up on this hike.
Great hike and beautiful area, highly recommend doing in snow if you get the chance. Did the loop from Grayson highlands backpacker lot to scales on the AT then from scales to mount Rogers. Camped along pine mountain trail near water source on the way to Rogers. Luckily I got to get this hike in a couple days after hurricane sandy and there was about 2 feet of snow on the ground. Moderate hike with little map skills required, just make sure if you bring a dog they listen well while not on a leash, wild ponies are in abundance at times.
Great trail. Some very challenging terrain but good places to catch her breath in Flats as well. Amazing views of the Appalachian range. I will be back for the leaf change in fall. And a good loop in an area that's hard to map out a loop hike. I would park at Grayson Highlands backpacker overnight parking lot as opposed to scales. Hike this southbound on the AT.

I've got a confession to make. As anyone who has read through these blogs may have guessed, I love sci-fi be it books, or movies. Additionally, I love comics books and cartoons. I am the quintessential geek.
So, of course that means I love anime.
Now, with my express love of scifi and big explosions, one would think that giant robot or fighting anime is my thing. That I would be ecstatically watching the Gundam series or Dragon Ball at every possible chance.
Well, that's where the confession comes in. I'm not that ecstatic over them. Sure, if they're on, I'll make the effort to watch them, but my favorite anime tends to be slice-of-life, drama or even romantic comedy anime, things that are more character driven, than muscle-driven. I love things like: Noein, Coil: A Circle of Children, AirTV, Kanon and Manabi Straight.
Which may explain why I enjoyed Hitohira so much. Frankly, I wasn't in the drama club, I had no interest in stage acting (yearbook all the way here), so when I first grabbed this anime and watched it, I was not expecting that much. Actually, back when it started, I was still in denial about my love of slice-of-life/drama animes.
Hitohira is the story of Mugi Asai. The Hitohira page on Wikipedia has this as a plot synopsis:
Hitohira revolves around a group of young high school students, the primary characters of which are either in the Drama Club or in the much smaller Drama Research Society. At the center is the main heroine Mugi Asai, a shy girl entering her first year of high school. Early in the year, Mugi is unsure on what clubs she should join, but is soon spotted by the Drama Research Society's president Nono Ichinose after she hears Mugi's astonishingly loud voice. Nono pressures Mugi into joining the club and eventually Mugi cripples under the pressure and joins. At first Mugi did not think it was going to be so bad, but she eventually learns that the Drama Research Society is going to put on two plays this year, and Mugi must act in both plays in several roles due to the low number of club members. Over time, Mugi's personality changes due to the club members' influence on her.Yes, I'm to lazy to write that up on my own, so I happily steal if from Wikipedia. That's what it's for. It started life as a manga (of which there are currently 4 volumes in Japan) and was translated into a twelve-episode anime by the animation studio XEBEC M2.
There are eight major characters in this anime, Mugi, being the lead. In addition to her, are the four other members of the Drama Research Society, the president of the Drama club, an exuberant freshman named Kanna Chitose who is a member of the official Drama club and then Tōyama Kayo , who is a member of the photography club, and was Mugi's best friend during middle school. Rounding out the first year students of this anime, is Nishida Kai -- Mugi's classmate and another member of the Drama Research Society.
Twelve episodes is not a lot of time to flesh out the cast, but they did a decent job here, with all the first-years, plus Nono (the president of the Drama Research Society) getting a majority of the characterizations. I realize why the other characters suffered in this regard, as having to spend the time to flesh out the entire cast would have extended this series beyond what the story could truly support, so I'm happy with what we were given in that regards.
The animation itself is beautiful, and features what I believe is the best fireworks scene that I have ever seen in an anime. The characters are well-drawn, and are done so rather consistently. Likewise, I actually like the character designs. Sure the school uniforms are a bit drab, what with all the brown, but in the end, that merely draws attention back to where it truly belongs, the characters and the story arc.
Ultimately, I would not mind a second season of this series, showing Mugi's continuing adventures as she tries to overcome her shyness. Of course, while that is fine for a seinen manga, I'm not certain it would work well for the anime adaptation of that manga. Of course, I have been wrong in the past. After all, I thought the Highlander anime movie couldn't suck as bad as Highlander II: The Quickening.
Like I said, I liked this anime. There was no big explosions or giant robots. There wasn't even a big super-powered fight. It was just a group of students, trying to overcome themselves.
I give it a 3.9 out of 4.

The Talents Contemporains at the Prince de Galles
The Prince de Galles is a feeling
Some people will say about the Prince de Galles that it belongs to those legends that make Parisian grand hotels since it is true that its Art Deco and its glorious past give the premises an outstanding reputation and, at the same time, a history.
However, at the Prince de Galles there is a little more, something a little better. It's as if there is a climate, a kind of music, something undefinable, a feeling that tells you that here you are in the coziness of a home.
A luxury home, an inspired home, a home lived in and embodied by the men and women who intend to invent there, every day, the idea of a special Parisian family where the virtues of its heritage combine with contemporary creation. A gentle alchemy between timeless elegance and the energy of the new century. Men and women who enliven the space in order to better serve the leading talent of the Prince de Galles: its guests.
There are a thousand ways to share 33 avenue George-V. The most sincere way is the one that consists of those who serve it telling the story.

BANGALORE: Sudarshan Kriya, the famous yoga technique initiated by the Art of Living, has reached China's doorstep. Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravishankar inaugurated the AoL ashram on the outskirts of Beijing on Sunday.
"India and China share a long tradition of wisdom and spirituality," Sri Sri said at the inauguration.
Hundreds of Chinese devotees gathered at the event which was followed by a satsang. Representatives of Chinese Peoples Association of Friendship of Foreign Countries ( CPAFFC), a government-backed organization, attended.
Thanking the Communist Party of China for its support, Sri Sri said: "Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and the Upanishads all point to the fact that peace is within us and we need to share it with everyone. China's contribution to the world has been Kung Fu and Tai Chi which ensured alertness and good health. India has contributed yoga and breathing techniques. The Art of Living's Beijing ashram will not only cater to Chinese, but will draw people from all over the world to experience their hospitality."

2017 Magnet – Trends in Nursing Education and Workforce
Sponsor Promoted Content by Capella University
If you missed this year's Magnet conference, or didn't have a chance to make it to all the sessions on your list, one of the hottest topics was the Millennial nurse—especially how to engage and retain this new generation in the field of nursing.
Millennials view job satisfaction differently than previous generations-which is important for employers to know. There is certainly ample research that demonstrates that this generation of nurses not only want to be challenged, but also want to educate themselves in order to successfully handle those challenges. They value learning, having new experiences and finding a mentor over moving up the ladder or establishing job security. Millennials want to feel connected to their workplace and are looking for ways to stay engaged. These new characteristics and values are important for managers and coworkers to understand in order to best work with the new generation of nurses.
If you're a manager or coworker working closely with the millennial nurse population, here are a few questions to think about when assessing your organization's preparedness to meet these new needs:
- Millennial nurses desire change and new experiences; how are you keeping the day-to-day fresh? Are there opportunities for them to shadow in other departments? Can they explore other specialty areas (such as peri-op) in order to consider a change in focus?
- Are there micro/stackable credentialing opportunities available to empower growth and autonomy? Do you encourage membership in professional nursing organizations that allow for development of specialty and leadership skills?
- How do you and your organization communicate your values? Millennial nurses want to feel connected to their workplaces' mission and vision so it's important that these values are communicated clearly. Are there opportunities for millennial nurses to contribute to initiatives at the unit level? At the organizational level?
Another key theme I noticed from this year's sessions was a discussion of the gap between nursing education and practice. Nurses graduate and have certain assumptions about practice-but the real world is not always quite the same as they might imagine. So how can we prepare for that? There has been some success with nurse residencies, some success with training nurses to be preceptors rather than assigning a staff nurse as a preceptor, and successful efforts to set up concrete expectations for and of the nurses. One speaker in particular discussed a student nurse academy, which engaged students as employees throughout their nursing education in order to streamline expectations after graduation. This will be an interesting area to watch and see how nursing education and the field in general will continue to evolve and address this issue.
If you have felt a gap between nursing education and practice, what recommendations could you bring back to your organization to fix this problem? What were some of your "rude awakenings" when you entered the practice that you felt unprepared for?
As nursing education evolves to meet the needs of the workforce, we need to be thinking about how we and those we work with can stay fresh and current in the field. Here are a few recommendations for making ongoing education a part of your career lifecycle:
- Join a nursing association, like ANA
- Talk with a mentor and develop a career trajectory, determining what it will take to get there (advanced degree, credential, experience, board service)
- Use social media, like Twitter and LinkedIn, to follow thought leaders in the field
- Attend conferences (like Magnet)
- Identify opportunities to explore other specialty areas in nursing
A few other key topics from the conference included:
- Leadership Development
- Ways to "grow your own" through mentoring, coaching and education
- The value of diversity in leadership
- Understanding and teaching transformational leadership
- Interprofessional practice
- Improving communication among different healthcare roles
- Increasing understanding of the need to collaborate
- Changing the culture of healthcare in order to increase the value of interprofessional practice
Some key clinical topics included:
- Preventing falls
- Improving access to palliative care
- The opioid epidemic
I would love to know your thoughts if you attended this year. What topics did you find especially interesting? Any key takeaways you want to share with others? Leave your responses in the comment section.
