Click for more information about Buryatia
2016 Jul by Mikhail Rybochkin
I render assistance to some of the top travelers to travel all over Russia mainly by road. In doing so I visited 81 out of 85 current administrative territories of Russia (republics, oblasts and krais). Most of them, including Republic of Buryatia, I visited several times.

East and South-East of the Lake Baikal lie Buryatiya
Republic. Not far from the lake is big, wild massif of East Sayan Mountains with spledid peaks, beautiful valleys and hot springs. Hiking here is not easy because of lack of good maps.
But the view from the tops is really fascinating

Ulan Ude is the capital of Buryatia, one of the 21 russian autonomous republics.
The buryats, one of the 30 ethnic minorities in Siberia, are related with Mongolia, and their language is very close to the mongol. Buryats belong to the second siberian ethnic group by number and importance, only after the yakukts.
They feel very proud of their nationality and during the russian invasion of their land, they offered a strong resistence.
Ulan Ude is one of the few stops that you should not miss during your transiberian, or transmongolian, or transmanchurian journey by train. The other ones are: Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Ekaterinbourg, Vladivostok with Nahodka, Kazan and Khabarovsk.
Ulan Ude deserves a few days stay. Near the Hotel Baikal, in the main square, you will find the greatest Lenin head statue in the world (record Guinness), a superb ethnologic museum, the beautiful theatre of Opera and Ballet, looking like a castle, and just at about 30 kilometers distance you can reach a boudhist monastery, or datsan, called Ivolginsk, where all the monks are buryats. Inside this tibetan monastery (mahayana-gelugpa sect, or followers of the Dalai Lama), you can visit several temples, the museum, the library and the monks rooms. (If you are planning to visit Saint Petersbourg as well, then there you should go to the nice boudhist temple in Primorski Prospekt number 91, constructed in 1913, by a great monk of Ivolginsk called Dorjieff, who was the advisor of Tsar Nikolai II). By the way, Dorjieff was arrested during Stalin times and died in an Ulan Ude prison in 1938.
If you still have time, I very much advise you to go to Severobaikal (in russian language means North of Baikal), which is a stop of the BAM train (Baikal Amur Magistral). From there you will have a better view of the Baikal Lake than in Listvyanka, near Irkutsk. Furthermore, Listvyanka is a russian village, while Severobaikal is buryat, therefore more interesting and exotic for westerners.
......................................................................2015: in this year I traveled again to Ulan Ude in my way to Mongolia. I spent 3 days visiting places that I had missed in previous journeys to that city, and in each of them I traveled to diferent places nearby. The first day I took a local bus to TARBAGATAY to know the Old Believers, and this is what I wrote about my visit: I spent half a day in Tarbagatay. I went there by myself, in a minibus that I boarded in Ulan Ude, since in the hostel where I was lodged they offered an excursion to Tarbagatay but very expensive for my pocket. Upon arriving to Tarbagatay I asked the local people where was the main Old Believers church, and they, Old Beleivers, as practically all the inhabitants of that village. showed me the way. When I arrived I saw a kind of huge museum on the open air, the door of the gate was open, and observed the church (it was closed) plus several old wooden buildings inside the complex. I waited for somebody to come, but after half an hour or so I left, since nobody appeared.I then walked around the village taking pictures of the lovely and old wooden houses, then climbed to a hill nearby to have a better view over the town. I saw a huge cross on the top of the hill with a sign nearby thanking the village of Tarbagatay for having accepted them to live there. Perhaps I should have joined a tour in Ulan Ude to visit this place, or to have gone there on Sunday, to watch their religious service. I had seen pictures of the Old Beleivers with folkloric clothes and singing. But perhaps they only perform that for tourists or in special holy days.Anyway I enjoyed my visit and did not regret it. The Old Believers did not accept the reforms introduced on the XVII century by Patriarch Nikon of Moscow. Old Believers continue liturgical practices that the Russian Orthodox Church maintained before the implementation of these reforms. The spiritual culture of the Old Believers in Tarbagatay was proclaimed a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.But I did not catch much of that. Anyway I was happy to have visited Tarbagatay. ......................................... IVOLGINSK. The second day I took a local minibus to the Buddhist monastery of Ivolginsk because in my two previous visits some years earlier I could not see the uncorrupted body of a monk. This is what I wrote about my last visit in 2015: I reached this Datsan, or Buddhist monastery, by local minibus, from Ulan Ude, at about 25 kilometers distance.In fact it was my third trip to that monastery; but in the time of my last visits (about 20 years earlier) I could not see the main wonder of the monastery, the uncorrupted body of a monk that passed away in the year 1927.At the entrance of the monastery there is a cafeteria and restaurant and also several kiosks selling ice creams and drinks. But I paid attention to the Buddhist kiosk among them because it was the most interesting. It had the form of a yurt and inside you can drink a glass of kumis for 50 rubles (what I did) and buy souvenirs related with the monastery, such as pictures of the lama whose uncorrupted body is sheltered Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov.Entrance to the monastery was free of charge, but in some places you have to pay, like, for instance, to see the uncorrupted body of the famous lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov. Unfortunately pictures were not allowed and I can only show the ones that were exhibited in the Buddhist kiosk for sale.I paid 300 rubles for the visit to that temple sheltering this lama, that is 250 rubles per the entry fee, plus 50 rubles for a piece of cloth to give as a present to the Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov uncorrupted body.The experience and feelings to stare at the face of that lama impressed me very much; it seemed that he was alive. Indeed, many monks talk with him everyday asking him questions, as if he was an active monk in lotus position. After that I walked around getting into the temples where I was allowed to go in. I enjoyed the place.There were lovely thangkas, like those that you can find in Tibet or in Nepal.................................. KYAKHTA: In my way overland to Ulaanbaatar, like the true traveler (who prefers overland and rarely takes an airplane) I stopped for half a day in Kyakhta, and this is what I wrote about that historiacl place: The Tea Road (also known as Siberian Route) made rich the city of Kyakhta. The tea was loaded in China, in the city of Zhangjiakou (Hebei province) that in the past was known as Kalgan. After crossing in caravans of camels the Gobi desert, Mongolia, it entered Russia through Kyakhta.Peter I was the first Russian Tsar to establish commercial relations with the Chinese and sent a diplomatic to sign a treaty. That is why the statue of Peter I can be seen in Kyakhta.After Kyakhta the tea was embarked in boats across the Baykal Lake, to Irkutsk, and then further on, until Moscow, where the price was 16 times higher than in China. It was a good business that lasted several centuries.I only spent a few hours in that town. I was coming from Ulan Ude, by myself because the train journey from Ulan Ude to Ulaanbaatar was very expensive, and by bus, individually was even cheaper than all the way to Ulaanbaatar without stopping.I saw a lovely Orthodox church (The Assumption Church), elegant houses that in the past belonged to the merchants of tea, and also several monuments, including one devote to Peter I. But did not stay to spend the night there; instead I headed by bus to Mongolia after a few hours visit. -------------------------------------- Ethnographic Museum ULAN UDE: This was my best visit in Ulan Ude. I took a local bus and went to the limit of the city where I entered the museum. Price was cheap. Inside I saw differents sections, the church of the Old Believers was the mos stunning monument (well, it was a true church moved there for exhibition), then a russian fortress, a section devoted to the first nations, before the russians arrival, such as Evenki culture, and also a zoo. I also entered the reproduction of the yurt of Genghis Khan and inside there was a very didactic museum. It is a must in your visit to Ulan Ude. I spent there about 3 hours. There are cafeterias to eat or drink something if you want to make a break in your visit. You can even take a picture of yourself riding a horse!

In 2001 I took the Trans-Mongolian Railway. It was a special experience to see the landscape and culture change from Moscow to Beijing.
Buryatia is not that special but Lake Baikal, World's biggest fresh water lake is.
1986 Sep by Veikko Huhtala*
This time I was traveling by train from Irkutsk to Beijing. This train is going via Ulan Ude which is Buryatia's capital. It is not very big with population, about 350000people are living there, and all Buryatia less than one million.

SOUTH PALM BEACH - In varying degrees, all four candidates running for South Palm Beach Commission agree: The town is a pristine hamlet with few, if any, problems.
As in other coastal communities, the candidates are concerned about beach erosion. And in South Palm Beach, where 28 of 29 lots are developed, they are concerned about what is going to happen to the last bit of land.
But otherwise, as incumbent Commissioner Dena Skalka says, ```We`re in pretty good shape.``
``We`ve done our work for the last six to eight years . . .,`` said incumbent Commissioner Bernard O`Reilly, ``and all we can do is continue to administer and maintain (town programs).``
The town`s 1,337 registered voters must decide March 10 which three of four candidates can do that job best.
O`Reilly, who has served as treasurer since first joining the commission in 1979, is seeking another term, as is Skalka, who was first elected two years ago after being chairwoman of the town`s Planning Board for three years.
Two newcomers have joined the race: Samuel Gofseyeff, chairman of the South Palm Beach Planning Board, and Jack Greenberg, who sits on the town`s Budget and Public Safety committees.
``I`m very interested in civic affairs,`` said Greenberg. ``I`ve been very involved since I moved down here (11 years ago).``
Greenburg said he is concerned that the town`s low tax rate - $1.58 per $1,000 assessed value - stay that way despite the fact that the town is almost completely developed.
Gosfseyeff, like the other candidates, is keeping an eye on the last lot of land, which a developer bought for $2.2 million but then was slapped with foreclosure.
Gosfseyeff said his biggest concern is beach erosion, which makes particular sense since Gofseyeff was an engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New York for 33 years, specializing in water supply, beach erosion and hurricane protection.

I was finally on the right side of an injury last night as my lines saw HUGE production from Lou Williams and Brandon Ingram. I just want the injuries to be done with already! Going for five wins in a row tonight and the slate looks real nice. Any lineup questions I am on twitter, @MonstarsDFS.
Point Guard
Stud: Eric Bledsoe @ NY $8300
I actually like Kemba Walker more but there is blowout risk in that game so if you have the money, pay up for Bledsoe who gets to play a Knicks backcourt that hasn't specialized in defense this season.
Mid-tier: T.J. McConnell @ ATL $5500
McConnell does enough to be cash game worthy until his price creeps higher than 6K.
Value Play: Raymond Felton @ DEN $4600
Locking him into cash tonight. He has been the main beneficiary with CP3 side lined and he gets a great matchup against the Nuggets tonight.
Shooting Guard
Stud: Giannis Antetokounmpo @ MIA $11100
I think I am fading the Greek Freak tonight but look for another 40+ fanduel tonight out of him if you do decide to roster him in your lineups tonight.
Mid-tier: Nicolas Batum vs BKN $7400
Also a cash lock for myself tonight. I'd be shocked if he didn't hit value tonight.
Value Play: Dejounte Murray @ CLE $3700
Murray started for the injured Tony Parker the other night and exploded for 30.4 FD points. Don't expect that many points against Cleveland tonight, but if he draws another start he should be able to exceed his value.
Small Forward
Stud: Kawhi Leonard @ CLE $9600
Lots of studs at SF tonight but I like Leonard the most. Without Pau Gasol, Leonard might start to pick up a bump from an already impressive productive season. For $900 cheaper than the King, I like Kawhi better tonight.
Mid-tier: Carmelo Anthony vs PHO $7900
Kind of an expensive mid-tier option but Melo gets a solid matchup against Phoenix tonight.
Value Play: TJ Warren @ NY $4600
For only 4600, Warren is seeing a ton of minutes. Anytime you see a guy with 30+ minutes under 5K you need to put him on your radar.
Power Forward
Stud: Nikola Jokic vs LAC $9900
Jokic is an absolute machine and is red hot right now. He's a strong play if you have the money for him.
Mid-tier: Ersan Ilyasova @ ATL $5800
No Embiid tonight, major bump for Ersan.
Value Play: David Lee @ CLE $4900
Lee should see a huge bump with Pau Gasol out. Border line lock right now being priced under 5k.
Stud: DeMarcus Cousins @ CHI $10600
After dropping a "dud" (19 points ,10 reb, 32 FD points) look for a bounce back from Boogie tonight.
Mid-tier: Tyson Chandler @ NY $5700
Tyson has really played well over the last week and a half and is cash viable tonight.
Value Play: Jahlil Okafor @ ATL $4600
Last time Embiid was out Okafor dropped 37.8 FD points which worth taking a look at in your lineups tonight.
Hopefully this article helps you out tonight and as always, Good Luck!

I am a junior English major from Philadelphia, PA. I am also pursuing History and Business Administration minors. I entered USC as a Pre-Pharmacy major, but after working as a Pharmacy Technician, I realized that I wanted to pursue health care law rather than practice. I hope to enroll in a JD/PHD program after graduation and become a law professor.
Favorite music: I love J-Rock music. It is extremely diverse, ranging from alternative to punk to soft rock. There is always something to listen to! I also enjoy its derivative, J-Pop, along with various English language rock and alternative bands.
Favorite novel: Wuthering Heights. Before English, my first major was Pre-Pharmacy. While in the second general education Chemistry class, calculating mole concentrations began boring me to tears, so I knew that I was going to switch my major, but I did not know what subject to pick. I took part in various pharmaceutical studies across campus (they awarded Amazon gift cards) to fund my book buying, and one day I decided to buy Wuthering Heights because it was on sale. I enjoyed it to the point that I switched my major to English almost immediately after reading the last page. It is the last book I read before becoming an English major, so it will always sit on my bookshelf.
An honors class I recommend: Storytelling in the Law. I took this class in Fall 2016 because, while law school seemed like a good idea, I did not know whether I truly wanted to pursue a legal career. My honors advisor recommended this class, and it helped me decide that I do want to attend law school. Over the course of the semester, the class learned the basics of the legal system, created an original case (right down to the location and crime), and either prosecuted a criminal or defended our client. I highly recommend taking classes Honors classes like these where you can decide and explore what you want to do after graduation, whether it is law, medicine, or none of the above.
What I'm currently reading: Contracting a Cure by Gianna Pomata. When perusing through senior thesis ideas, I decided that I wanted to connect healthcare, law, history, and literature into a project. I knew that I needed to know more information about these topics, and one of my history professors recommended this book. It details changes in medical practices, such as doctor-patient relationship and dealing with quacks, in Bologna, Italy during the thirteenth through eighteenth centuries. The author uses real documents from medical courts to detail ancient monetary disputes that showed that the medical profession was rapidly changing. I do not know if something like this will become my senior thesis, but at least I know there are awesome faculty to help and give suggestions!
My secret: Sometimes, I think Katherine Farrell is funny.
My advice to prospective students: Stand out. The Honors College looks for students who have a love for learning and a desire to make a difference both inside and outside the classroom. Do this in the field or subject you love! Join an interesting club, play an awesome sport, or (like I did) talk about bacon and pseudo-pharmaceuticals in your application essays.
My advice to current students: Take your time; college is not a race. It feels like I arrived on campus for orientation only yesterday, but now I am a junior. Take advantage of as many fun opportunities as you can during your time here. Make college an experience to remember!
My favorite thing about the Honors College: There are so many options to choose, but the Honors College's sense of community strongly impresses me. All students that I have met and made friends with so far are nothing but helpful and passionate, and the constant stream of events like Flotilla and Bedtime Stories have kept me up to date with everyone. The Honors College's devotion to building a community rather than a mass competition has truly made my college experience unique, and it is definitely the people that I will remember in 50 years.
My reason for choosing the SCHC: As a first generation student, I had no idea what to expect from college. I abhorred the college selection process because there were myriad forms and applications to fill out, and so many possibilities for mistakes. When I toured the SCHC, my fears evaporated. I appreciated the SCHC's dedication to multiple styles of learning, specifically through the Honors curriculum and its "customization options." Moreover, I enjoyed the collaborative, rather than competitive, community within the Honors College because I knew it would give me the opportunity to meet a diverse array of people who would help each other through their college careers, both academically and socially.

Dan Coborn, who led his family-founded chain Coborn's Inc. for nearly 50 years, passed away Wednesday at the age of 86, the St. Cloud, Minn.-based retailer said.
Dan Coborn's grandfather Chester Coborn founded a Sauk Rapids, Minn. grocery store that Dan and his brothers Bob, Bill and Ron later grew into the present-day operator of 120 stores in six states. Dan's son, Chris Coborn, is the company's current CEO.
"Dan led the company over the years with bold vision and resolve," according to a release from the company. He found himself placed in charge of the Sauk Rapids store when his father Duke passed unexpectedly in 1959 and his older brother Bob was enlisted in the service. Dan served as CEO until 1999.
Coborn's CEO Chris Coborn,
daughter Emily and Dan Coborn.
The Coborn brothers, who grew up working in their father's store, expanded as a means to support their families, purchasing a second store in 1963. "We were trying to eke out a living," Dan Coborn said. "We needed to expand to support four families. One store was not going to do it."
The company described Coborn as a gregarious, creative and optimistic leader who was not afraid to pursue unconventional ideas. He "bet the company" on expanding the nascent Cash Wise banner ahead of residential development in Waite Park, Minn., but the gamble paid off as the location is the flagship of the 17-store banner today.
That store was also the birthplace of a Dan Coborn pursuit that didn't succeed, a self-serve bulk soda attraction with unusual flavors like peach, banana, sarsaparilla and piña colada known as Fountain Fresh.
"We made some bad decisions, but nothing that took the company down," he said. "In the history of the company, we never missed a payroll except for four people —my brothers and me. And that didn't happen very often. I never lost faith in the fact that it was a good business. People have to eat. They have to get their food from someplace."
Dan was the third of seven children to Duke and Florence Coborn. He graduated from Sauk Rapids High School in 1948. He went on to attend Saint John's University, where he played football and graduated in 1952 with a degree in economics.
That same year, he married Mabel Hansen of Rockville, Minn. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army where he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri for two years. Upon discharge, he was accepted into law school at University of Minnesota but declined the opportunity and returned to Sauk Rapids to work for his father.
Dan felt a tremendous sense of duty to his community. In 1967, he and his wife Mabel became charter members of United Way of Central Minnesota. He was also a founding member of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Minnesota board, which both he and Mabel served on at different times.
In 1987, he was named Minnesota Grocer of the Year by the Minnesota Grocers Association. He also received accolades from College of Saint Benedict, National Grocers Association, St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, St. Cloud State University and United Way of Central Minnesota. In 2002, he received the Father Walter Reger Distinguished Alumnus Award from Saint John's University — the highest honor it bestows — for outstanding service to the Saint John's community by an alumnus.
"Dan's success in business created opportunities for him and the company to give back. His generosity touched many organizations and institutions but he had a special place in his heart for education. He provided gifts to Cathedral High School; College of St. Benedict; Saint John's University; St. Cloud Technical and Community College; St. Cloud State University; and others," the company said.
"He also tirelessly gave of his time. He served on countless boards and participated in many civic organizations, including CentraCare Health, Friends of the College of Saint Benedict, Sauk Rapids School Board, and others. He was a Sauk Rapids volunteer fireman for many years. While serving on both the MNSCU and St. Cloud Hospital Board of Directors, Dan learned about the shortage of nurses in Central Minnesota. He worked behind the scenes to connect the right people, lobby and advocate, and ultimately succeeded in helping to establish a nursing program at St. Cloud State University. Dan and his son, Chris, were instrumental in bringing Division I Hockey, Herb Brooks and the National Hockey Center to St. Cloud State University."
In 1999, Coborn's Inc. was named one of the Ten Most Generous Companies in America by George magazine.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Mabel, and his five children, 12 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

"Malaysian Institute for Road Safety Research (Miros) director-general Prof Dr Radin Umar Radin Sohadi said the overhangs were not only at the same height as a car's windshield but also had a lot of space underneath, which means a car keeps moving after impact. "When a car collides with the rear of such a lorry or truck, there is no bumper-to-bumper impact. Instead, the overhang slams straight into where the drivers and passengers are sitting."
Duh! Any damn fool could have told you that.
How many years had it been since the then minister of transport in his infinite wisdom decided to approve these over hangs for lorries so that they can carry loads which they were not designed for? Only now does Miros realise that it is unsafe??? Oh I see, maybe Miros was just waiting for the quota of deaths resulting from these extensions before taking any actions or making announcements about their danger. According to the story this is the 5th fatality involving these 'overhangs'.
From the first time I laid eyes on these lorries fitted with these extensions I could see that there were accidents waiting to happen. Mostly made from flimsy looking these extensions hang with a limp nonchalance from the back from these little lorries. And the authorities who thought them up and approved them think that AWAS painted in red on the panel is a super duper way of extending the payloads of these vehicles safely. Standards? Hiyah! Never mind la.
So okay. Now 5 people have been killed by these things so it's time to do something else. I am wondering what the director-general of Miros has in mind. I am sure it will be another masterpiece of creative thinking.
And then the Star story ended with this example of great journalistic writing I thought...
"Prof Radin Umar said the results of investigations showed that the problem had to be dealt with, especially in improving crash compatibility."
"...the problem had to be dealt with???" What else would you do with a problem?

By Michael Baker
Researchers may have discovered a hormone that will prevent men from cheating on their significant other. Oxytocin, when sniffed by men in committed relationships, caused them to stand farther away from women who they'd just met than their happily single, hormone-sniffing homeboys. So what we basically have here is a drug that encourages monogamy in men (who – let's face it – collectively pose the world's largest threat to monogamy). Where was this stuff when Petraeus needed it?
At first blush, this might seem like a good thing. If we can agree that cheating is wrong then certainly something that discourages it must be a step in the right direction. But I'm not so sure. On a simple level, this might just be a solution to a problem. But there are deep ethical questions to any artificial means of making people do the right thing. What is the moral weight of a drug that makes you act morally?
Think about this question: how would you feel if you knew for a fact that your spouse or significant other would never cheat on you, but you only knew that because they were taking a drug that makes it so? No doubt about it, they're not cheating. But are they actually faithful to you? Maybe. But even if they are, is there really any virtue in it?
What it really boils down to is – is it really morality if you don't have a choice? Or if you have a choice, but an artificial hormone is gently nudging your brain chemistry in the right direction? I'm inclined to say that it's not. Free will is worth something, and I think I'd rather be a cheater who knows what he's really made of than a doped-up monogamist. Of course, I'd rather just be a guy who keeps it in his pants because he knows that it's the right thing to do (or, at the very least, because you live in constant cowardice of being caught). And that's the real crux – if you rely on Oxytocin, you can never really be that guy.
When we lose the ability to decide for ourselves whether we're going to do what we know to be honest and morally right, we lose any right to take pride in having done the right thing. And you'll also never know the truth of who you really are or – in this case – who you're really with. Oxytocin might keep some women satisfied, but they're the ones who probably should've walked away in the first place.

Who Controls The Government?
It is quite ironic that the previous Drone-Bomber-in-Chief, Barack H. Obama, has been given the "profile in courage" award, which is being presented to him this week by the JFK Library Foundation. But how much courage did it take for Obama to order the bombings of several different countries, killing mostly innocent civilians, when those countries were of no threat to us?
How insulting to President John F. Kennedy, who promoted peace after recognizing that the post-World War II Cold War and national security state were destructive and unnecessary, and who wanted to "splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."
In a June, 1963 speech promoting peace, nuclear disarmament, and diplomacy, Kennedy stated, "No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue. As Americans, we find Communism profoundly repugnant as a negation of personal freedom and dignity. But we can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements — in science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture, in acts of courage."

The Forticrete Tile Factory was a major roofing tile production facility consisting of various sheds, offices, outbuildings and concrete yards, all of which were demolished to below ground level, with all foundations, drains and services removed.
Wardell Armstrong was responsible for the preparation of the demolition contract document and associated health and safety information, assisting in the selection of tenderers, the administration of the tender and contract award process, and supervision of the works.
Asbestos cement sheeting containing white asbestos was present on walls and roofs throughout the site, while both white and brown asbestos were identified on insulating wall boards and in pipe gaskets within the buildings. All asbestos was removed by suitably licensed contractors using approved techniques.
A buried fuel tank and surrounding contaminated soil were removed in a controlled manner. Clean concrete and brick materials were processed by crushing to form a granular materials suitable for use in subsequent redevelopment of the site.

Aaaand they're back.
Just one week after Kathy Griffin revealed that Anderson Cooper "blew off" their dinner plans, Cooper and Griffin were back at it on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday to discuss their seventh consecutive New Year's Eve special. But this time, it was Cooper who was doing the revealing.
"She makes me incredibly nervous," Cooper admitted to CNN host Brian Stelter about his pal Griffin. "I never sweat more than I do in that time [on New Year's Eve]. Even though it's freezing cold out, I'm usually -- by the end of the evening I'm drenched in sweat because I am nervous."
He wasn't kidding. In fact, he began sweating during the show. Apparently, just being in the same interview as Griffin triggers the nerves for Cooper.
"Anderson, did I just see you wipe the top of your lip?" Griffin asked.
"Yes, you did. I'm starting to sweat."
Can it be New Year's Eve already?

Bona Fide Blues Band — Yeppers, they're bona fide!Story & Photos by Mary Jane Farmer. For more photos, click on the link at the bottom.
Nestled, literally, in the heart of Kerrville is the Azul Lounge. Why is it called "azul"? Simple: It's Spanish for 'blue' and it's the blues, pure and simple, that the Bona Fide Blues Band brought to that underground tavern in the hills.
This trio brought full sounds with their vocals, drum kit, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and when they needed a little more fullness, vocalized horns also filled the room.
Graham Warwick and John Reeve had been playing together as a duo for a couple of months, they said, when they began talking with John Ike Walton, originally the drummer with the original Texas band 13th Floor Elevators. That was right after John Ike had purchased a set of drums for a price seldom seen. John Ike mentioned that the duo could use some drums, Graham said.
John Ike put it a little differently. "I hadn't heard any bands in quite a while that were worth my setting up my drums for. Then I heard Graham and John. I offered to play with them, and promised Graham I wouldn't cover up his vocals with my drums." He said it was his experience that quite often drummers will drown out the other musicians.
For three hours, the trio sent sounds out from that little corner, underground stage that kept dancers on the floor, toe tapping and hands clapping, and smiles on just about every face in the crowded, popular lounge. Some of that was bounced outward from the band, who was having just as much fun as their crowd. It was contagious!
John and Graham put out double vocals, mostly with Graham in the lead, but not always. They moved from Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary "to Son Joracho style "La Bamba" and into the Roger Miller classic "King Of The Road." All night, bouncing around genres like Tigger bouncing out of the book. "Ring of Fire" to … well, you get the drift.
Graham plays a clean and classic acoustic guitar, John mostly picks/plucks/pounds his doghouse, but occasionally gets the fiddle out and bows the strings, and the two of them could add simulated vocal horn sounds that someone who wasn't watching would have sworn were real horns. And John Ike does like he said, keeps the rhythm going without drowning out anyone in front of him and his drum kit. Oh, yeah, and John has a scat voice, used occasionally, would have made David Amram proud. On their break, John sat at the baby grand in the room and kept more live music going.
Not all blues, but all touched with the personal styles of each in the trio. Yep, they're bona fide!

The news last autumn was grim for many medical meetings with a large international component.

Cholesterol and its Herbal Treatment
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found that among the lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and in all your body's cells. It's an significant part of a healthy body because it's used to form cell membranes, some hormones and it is needed for other functions. But a high level of cholesterol in the blood - hypercholesterolemia - is in fact a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which leads to the heart attack.
Cholesterol and other fats can't dissolve totally in the blood. They have to be transported to and from the cells by the special carriers called lipoproteins. There are numerous kinds, but the ones to focus on are some other low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).What is HDL cholesterol?
About one-third to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is that carried by HDL. Medical experts think HDL tends to carry cholesterol just away from the arteries and back to the liver where it's passed from the body. Some experts also believe HDL removes excess cholesterol from plaques and thus slows their growth. HDL cholesterol is in fact known as "good" cholesterol because a high HDL level seems to protect against heart attack. The differing is also true: a low HDL level (less than 40 mg/dL in men; less than 50 mg/dL in women) and it indicates a greater risk. A low HDL cholesterol level also may actually raise stroke risk.What is Lp(a) cholesterol?
Lp(a) is a inherent variation of plasma LDL. A high level of Lp(a) is an significant risk factor for developing atherosclerosis prematurely. How an increased Lp(a) contributes to the heart disease isn't clear. The lesions in artery walls thus contain substances that may interact with Lp(a), leading to the buildup of fatty deposits.
The total amount of fat you eat that whether high or low, isn't really linked with disease. What really matters just is the type of fat you eat.
The "bad" fats-saturated and trans fats-increase the total risk for certain diseases. The "good" fats-monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats-lower the disease risk. The key to a healthy diet is to substitute good fats among for bad fats-and to avoid the trans fats.Cholesterol - Herbal Treatment
One of the most famous herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, Guggul effectively possesses strong purifying and rejuvenating powers. People today most commonly use it to get benefit from Guggul's lipid regulating and the immunomodulating properties. It has been shown that Guggul can strongly lower blood cholesterol by 14-27% and can lower triglycerides that by 22-30%. The effects that Guggul has on the blood cholesterol levels is almost comparable to prescription medications but, being a natural plant extract it is a far superior and really much safer product. Guggul works on the liver by total increasing the metabolism (or break down) of the bad cholesterol known as LDL Cholesterol. After just taking the product for 4 to 12 weeks, total cholesterol levels can actually drop, triglyceride levels can drop and an increase in the HDL (the good cholesterol) of about 16% can occur. Its benenfits as a weight-loss and fat burning agent all have been well researched and documented in several studies.

I have 30 years experience working with thousands of people in Canada, the US, Australia and around the world. People are my passion.
Learning is the elixir of leadership.
What other companies have you worked with?
I've worked with a number of rural industry associations, university leaders up to and including Vice Chancellors, federal and state public service agencies, and private professional service firms including some of the big four legal firms.
Four days away from work and home for the Larapinta walk is a lot. Is it worth it?
The program is an investment and an insurance. It's an investment in your professional reputation and an investment in your business longevity. Make better decisions faster.
It's insurance against irrelevance and being caught unaware by emerging trends and important shifts in your market. Know first, do first.
I've heard it's really hard and I really not fit.
We walk up to six hours per day carrying light packs. A basic level of fitness is required. We havea recommended training program to help you feel more comfortable along the track. Each participant needs to complete a medical form so we can help manage any medical or fitness conditions. The focus of the program is not physical endurance, it's fresh thinking in fresh air.
Is it only for me or should I bring my divisional heads along?
This program is best suited to the business leader alone, to allow confidential and frank feedback from independent peers. We can run a bespoke program for your senior team to build collective insight and thinking.
What difference does walking along a trail really make?
Stanford researchers found that walking boosts creative inspiration. Read the full article here. http://news.stanford.edu/2014/04/24/walking-vs-sitting-042414/

-Alex Ogg, Operations Manager, Western Australia Fishing Industry Council
Do you have closed Facebook or social media group we can stay connected and share ideas?
The program has a private LinkedIn group so members an continue to soundboard, share ideas, and ask for support or advice between group mentoring sessions. It's a great place to share resources and insights too.
Were you really saying I wasn't a very good CEO?
The best CEOs know leadership is not a game played solo. They know the development of the organisation and industry is constrained by the development of the leader. The best CEOs seek to learn and improve continually, in elite like-minded company. In the words of Brian Tracy, Robin Sharma, Tom Peters and may more - leaders are learners.

I have been in leadership roles all my life. I have held senior executive roles in every organisation I've worked in these last thirty years.

More brains are better than one. Being able to articulate a challenge, ask multiple perspectives, and gather insights from other senior leaders is wisdom distilled. The mastermind is the collective wisdom of nine other senior leaders careers - hundreds of years of experience at your fingertips. A problem shared is a problem halved - together we are better.
Who are your competitors?
Mt Eliza Business School is one competitor. They offer similar high level leadership thinking development in a five day residential. What's different about our program is that we build strong bonds through adventure. The peer learning is thus based deeply on trust and shared experience. We continue the development over time so there is room for experimentation, feedback, and development.
How can you measure the improvements?
Each participant undertakes an initial learning and leadership capacity assessment. We identify critical outcomes for the individual, and then we track this week by week in a coaching app called Achiiva. We see the shifts over time and course correct as we go.
Am I going to be in a group with a competitor CEO?
We have a 'no compete' policy for the group. Only one CEO per industry sector is permitted to ensure full confidentiality.
What if I don't like the other people who come along?
Membership in the program is by application only. We screen all applicants for suitability and compatibility. If conflicts arrive, we move swiftly to resolve differences and address concerns. If we find a participant is not a match to the program, we reserve the right to terminate their participation to persevere the experience and integrity of the group experience.
I'm based in Western Australia, can you come to me?
Apart from the Larapinta experience, all mastermind sessions and development webinars are done remotely, via webinar technology. This is to minimise travel expense and time away from home base.
What do we cover in this group mentoring?
There are two group elements: development ideas and thinking strategy and the mastermind round robin. The development aspect will cover practical business insights such as collaboration, trend analysis, through to advance leadership thinking in complexity and ambiguity. The round robin gives you access to the collective wisdom of the other leaders.
My job is affecting my home life - can you help me too?
Leadership is an inside job first. The best leaders bring their whole selves to work. So if your home life has challenges, we consider this a leadership issue, and we can definitely help.
How is walking along a trail make any difference to me being a CEO?
Beautiful views allow big inspiration. A digital detox in stunning surroundings opens access to the creative mind. Research has shown that creativity is unleashed with exercise as subconscious connections are allowed to bubble to the surface.
Read more here: http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20412092,00.html
I've done a bunch of these courses before. How is it any different with you?
The magic is in the shared experience. This kind of intimate experience forges trust you can't get in classrooms alone. The collective wisdom of your own curated personal board of directors is amplified wisdom. You can leverage dozens of decades of insights in just minutes per month.
How can I be certain that my business secrets are safe and my confidentiality is assured?
After application and screening for suitability, all participants are required to sign a Chatham House rule and confidentiality agreement. Any breaches of this agreement will incur automatic expulsion from the group. Participants are expected and required to honour this agreement from an ethical and legal perspective.
This is an expensive program. Is it really worth it?
A competitive edge means business survival. We get this faster together. It may mean the difference between leading the way or being led away.
You will save ten times your $15,000 investment in hours of worry, ineffective strategy, and wasted effort. You will make ten times your $15,000 investment in strategic insight that guarantees your business and professional future for years to come.
If you want to be a big thinker who implements transformational leadership and not just transactional management, then this program is for you.

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee argued that on the economy "the biggest thing we need to do is pass the Fair Tax" on Monday's "Varney & Co." on the Fox Business Network.
Huckabee stated, "the biggest thing we need to do is pass the Fair Tax, Stu, because it transforms the economy in a number of ways, bringing somewhere between 11 and $21 trillion of capital back to the US, capital that's parked offshore that is not helping us right now. It makes it easier for businesses to stay in business, so they're making business decisions, not tax decisions. It takes away the burden of taxation to, not only the business owner, but also to the worker, who doesn't have anything taken out of his check. These are fundamental things that would transform the economy and get us in a work-based related economic boom. "
Huckabee, when asked how he would be able to make the conversation about the economy, said it would be if he got as much coverage as certain other candidates.
He added, "one of the reasons that the whole economic situation is stalled is because for the first time in American history, business owners are figuring out how to shrink their business, not how to grow their business, because everything tells them to shrink. Keep it under 30 hours a week, keep it under 50 employees. Obamacare is a anchor around the necks of a lot of business owners, and especially small business owners, Stuart, because it they don't have the resources to hire accountants and lawyers to get them through the incredible shoals they have to navigate."
