But that doesn't mean it's off limits 😉
My father is addicted to Oreos. Growing up, we always had them in the house (and an extra, unopened package incase we ran out and someone couldn't get to the store fast enough), and everytime I go home, they're still there, in the same glass jar with the yellow lid, calling out to me. Every night when he walks the dogs before bed, he takes about 6 with him to munch on during the walk. A walk that takes about 5 minutes. But, I guess he needs the extra fuel??? hmmm. Lucky for him, my dad has a enviable metabolism, is a biker, former marathoner (got my love of running from him) and does triathalons, so he can eat all those Oreos. I can't. They go straight to my hips (soooooooo cliche, i love it!), and I don't like the fact that they have trans-fat. But, because I grew up around them, I sure do love them. I never buy them, but when I'm at home, they are really really hard to avoid. Every trip back to Cleveland, I manage to leave with about 10 Oreos in my stomach. It's all your fault Dad. All your fault!!!!!!!
But, I jest. I originally saw this recipe from Deb a loooong time about, and really really wanted to try it. (Oh-you better click on that link. I'm not going to post the recipe so you look at her GORGEOUS blog.) However, I have a rule about baking, that I only do it for an occasion. I absolutely love love love to bake. But, I never (anymore) will just bake something on a whim, or I'll eat it all up. I do, however, jump on the chance to make cakes, cookies and muffins for anyone's birthday, a party, our work holiday party (my department threw our holiday party this year, and we got the regular food catered, but I volunteered to make dessert…for 70 or so people. That was a really long weekend.) Oh, and how do I make cookies and all these other baked goods while losing weight? Especially as a cookie dough addict (hello, my name is betsy and I am…oh, shut up!! enough with the cliches!!)? I made another rule, that when I bake something, I'm allowed a small cookie's worth of dough, and I make a small cookie to eat after. Amazingly, since i made that rule, I haven't broken it! It seems that that amount of dough is just as satisfying as gobs and gobs that cause intense nausea. Well, one of my best friends announced that her birthday party was going to have a black & white theme and asked if I wanted to make dessert (but not a cake-she insisted on Buttercup). Hello-black and white party-Oreos!!! So, I finally had the occasion to make them, and man oh man, they turned out swimmingly. Swimmingly, I say!
I made the cookie part on Thursday night and froze them, because I wanted them to stay fresh and crispy for Saturday. Then on Saturday, I made the cream while still in my running clothes (don't worry, I didn't sweat on the cookies or anything) and filled them. I though filling them was going to take a while, but it was super speedy!! Overall, they were great. The cookie was nice and crispy and not too sweet and the filling was super sweet, but not overwhelming, just like a real Oreo! And, at the party, they were quite a hit. It seems my friend had told all the party-goers that I was making them, so expectations were high. And, I'm (pretty) sure they didn't disappoint! And I think they made the party even better. They were almost entirely gone at the end of the night. At least I think. I was undeniably tipsy. Yay for homemade nostalgia!! Although, Oreos and champagne is not a combination I remember from when I was younger…
A couple of notes about the recipe: you will see Deb's note about the amount of sugar to use. I agree with her that the cookie in an Oreo is not sweet, so I used 1 cup instead of 1.5 and it didn't effect the cookies. Also, I used exactly a teaspoon of dough for each cookie, filling my teaspoon and then scooping it out with my 1/2 teaspoon. I could have used a little less dough, but what I did was fine. Also, I wish I had flattened the cookies out a little more, cause, as you can see, they were thicker than an original Oreo, but still quite small. A perfect little snack! And I used Spectrum shortening, cause I was nervous about using shortening in the first place and thought this would be the least harmful. Oh, and when I said I never buy Oreos, I was right. The real one for the picture is from a pack my roommate bought about 2 months ago had has been sitting on top of the fridge since. ewwww.
I broke my one cookie rule last night while watching the Oscars and ate one more while jumping up and down and screaming for my man Javier. Ooooo, I love you Javier-I hope you know that.
I also made these too…delish. I forgot to type up the recipe, but if there is demand, I'll post it.

Hochunk Nation Member Bronson Koenig Makes Bill Murray Sad
This past Sunday, the Wisconsin Badgers (No. 7 seed) took on the Xavier Musketeers (No. 2 seed) and won with a final three at the buzzer. Ho-Chunk Nation member and Wisconsin Badger, Bronson Koenig delivered the death blow at the buzzer after first tying the game 63-63 with two seconds left in the game. Watch the excitement of the final play:
The Badgers came into the game as underdogs and won in spectacular fashion. As you can see from the video above, many in the crowd were ecstatic at the win.
Many Xavier fans, however, were not so happy including one prominent fan, iconic actor Bill Murray who's son Luke is an assistant coach for Xavier.
Sad Bill Murray. Happy Ho-Chunk Nation.

Duo to Launch Agency With a Twist
Pereira and O'Dell Won't Sell Clients What They Don't Need
Digital advertising veterans P.J. Pereira and Andrew O'Dell caused a stir in the industry earlier this year when they left their senior posts at AKQA, then and still one of the hotter interactive ad agencies. Wednesday, they will announce plans to launch a new full-service agency.
Messrs. Pereira, 34 years old, and O'Dell, 38, say the problem with most existing ad agencies is that they either have a traditional focus or a digital orientation -- and either way, marketers aren't as well-served as they could be. Digital shops,...

The Dub outside Croke Park is an unfamiliar sight, like a Meathman holding a door open for a lady or a Dundalk native using a soup spoon.
They poured into the Gaelic Grounds like the fizzy gush of a spilt blue WKD. Roused from the couches of south Drawda and Bettystown, the Dubs were eager to see their heroes. They might have only been their third string side, otherwise known as the brothers of the first team's girlfriends, but they were Dubs nonetheless.
From the off you could tell the real Dubs were angry that the DART didn't yet extend to Drawda. Buses had to be got. But the locals soon put them straight, telling them that Dundalk would get it before Drawda. The Dublin men said they'd heard that alright and a bond was struck.
The Dubs only leave their oxygen cocoons to train, shift young wans in Coppers and get involved in late night altercations that weren't their fault.
Colin Kelly's charges, and even the ex-Renault Ambassador himself, were up against it. They'd heard the rumours. The Dubs want for nothing. Their every need is catered for. They have teams of specialists that take moulds of the wrinkles on their skin after they have a bath so they'll know how long they should stay in their next one. Excess webbage slows you down.
They share a communal hairdresser, who himself has signed agreements not to cut non-panel member's hair. Any breach of protocol is unacceptable and results in banishment from both the inner circle, the intermediate circle and the outer circle. They are exiled to the fringes.
The Dubs have been fitted with colostomy bags so they don't have to worry about toilet and can concentrate solely on their football.
Kelly was reticent before the game, uncomfortable with the tag of favourites.
"Even though they're the turd string, that doesn't make them three times worser than the foorst team. No. If Louth had a turd string side it would be considerably worser than the foorst team but these Dubs were only about a turd worser than the lads they were replacing who in turn were about a turd worser again than the first 15 on the panel. So what 'Am saying is that we might be favourites but it'll come down to both fractions and percentages," he nosebled.
There was a solitary Louth flag on the bank and its chequered design echoed the Wee Counties history in this competition. It had the look of a flag shook in anger more than waved in joy.
At 2pm the referee threw the ball up in the air and Dublin broke away with it and won the game by 2-16 to 1-10. Matters weren't helped by the fact that one of the linesmen was a Meathman.
Division 3 Preview
Louth will need Kelly to study all the pages in the County Tactics Manual if Louth are to maintain their Division 3 status. The Attacking Blanket™ will have to be kept drier than it was against the Dubs, where it was sodden and heavy, more like a wet duvet than a cogent attacking master plan.
By all accounts though, Louth have been training well at their secluded hideaway in Darver – a place so secluded that the lads with the Tactics Manual have trouble finding it in bad weather (and the lads from Cooley). This is a worrying development given that two Louth County Board officials are supposed to shadow Kelly at all times, like the US military guys who follow the President around with the nuclear codes.
The campaign kicks off under the lights and in front of a live studio audience in Portlaoise on Saturday at 7pm (Eir). Hope we win that one. Lose the opener and heads go down. Tipperary and Armagh will be tough opponents and Schligo had to install more space on their scoreboard the last time they met us. That leaves Antrim (shite), Offaly (shite) and dark horses Longford (could be shite, might not be, who really knows?). It'll be interesting. If we play the system and take our points goals are sure to follow. And who knows? If we can keep the ageing Blackie Judge injury free then a tilt at Division Two could be on the cards.
Throw in Saturday 4 February 7pm in Portlaoise or just tune in to Eir and watch it on the telly. Sometimes it's better on the telly cos you can see less mistakes.

GC-MS can detect flame retardants in hair and nails
- Published: Mar 4, 2016
- Author: Jon Evans
- Source: Indiana University
- Channels: Gas Chromatography / Base Peak
Chemicals used as flame retardants that are potentially harmful to humans can be detected in hair, toenails and fingernails, according to new research from Indiana University (IU) in Bloomington, US. This discovery should ease the way for further research investigating the human impact of chemicals commonly found in the environment, including in indoor dust, water and air.
Flame retardants are frequently added to plastic, foam, wood and textiles, where they are used to delay ignition and to slow the spread of fire. However, exposure to flame retardants in various forms has been linked to obesity, learning disabilities, neuro and reproductive toxicity, and endocrine disruption. Flame retardants also persist in the environment, bioaccumulating in ecosystems and in human tissues.
"Little is known about the human exposure to flame retardants, especially new classes of the retardants," said researcher Amina Salamova at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Bloomington. "The first step is to establish a relatively easy and reliable way of measuring chemical levels in people, especially children, and we've determined that hair and nails can provide exactly that."
Until now, researchers depended on samples of human milk, blood and urine, and those samples are more difficult to obtain than hair and nails. As reported in Environmental Science and Technology, the IU researchers collected hair, fingernails and toenails from 50 students in Bloomington and analyzed them with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This allowed them to compare the levels of chemicals detected in those samples with the levels detected in blood serum from the same people.
What they found was a strong relationship between the levels of a large group of flame retardants known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in hair and nails and in blood serum. In some cases, women had higher concentrations of common flame retardants, and the researchers speculate this was caused by the use of nail polishes containing these chemicals.

hi my name is julia. i had spine surgery (harrington rods and fusion with donar bone) on january 6th. im 22 years old, i've been smashed between two cars, stabbed straight through two fingers, and had a baby. the back surgery was by far the worst pain. i tried to commit suicide in the hospital, i just couldnt handle the pain. thay later found out that for some reason morphine doesnt work for me.
its almost been 5 months now and i feel like im broken. does anyone else feel like this? is it normal. i thought by now i would be back to normal but im in more pain than before the surgery, was it a huge mistake?
im so scared that ill never regain feeling in my back and ill never be able to do the things i once did.i'm also scared that my body will reject the donar bone, i would rather die than have surgery again. does anyone have any advice for me??
the dr. never told me it would be so bad...

It's been another dreamy day in my little corner of the UK. I had a really good night's sleep. So when I woke at 5am I felt ready to face the world. I tripped my way down the stairs and started doing some of the jobs on my To-Do List. By 7am half the list was crossed off. Yippeeeee
We took Maisie for the second part of her booster injection this morning. The vet listened to Maisie's heart and confirmed that everything sounds good. Older King Charles Spaniels are particularly prone to having heart problems. Because we recently lost our Tippy to heart problems I will probably always hold my breath during Maisie's check-ups.
As soon as I got home from the vet I stepped into my sewing room to get started on today's longarm quilting job. This current quilt is rather large 90 x 102 and it is getting a custom treatment. Anne chose two different quilting motifs and a jade colour thread. So I did a little of this …..
and a whole lot of this ….
The first session is always rather draining because it's when you set the design but now that the design is established things should go more smoothly tomorrow. I spent five hours working today and will probably spend the same amount of time working tomorrow.
When I finally knocked off for the day I moved onto another task which I did sitting down. And I really enjoyed my little big job because it was quiet. I turned the TV on and watched/listened to the Darling Buds of May while preparing a beginner's sampler quilt block for my next class. This particular block called Tile Works has 49 patches to it. Somehow that doesn't seem possible. I counted three times and came up with three different answers! So of course I counted again and came up with 49. I'm going to enjoy hand sewing this block.
So what's going on around the world? Is anyone working on something new and exciting? Is anyone getting ready for a holiday away? Well I'm staying home and enjoying the good weather. I must admit I'm ready for a good day out and about. It will soon be time to get ready for going back-to-school. I always look forward to this time of year. I look forward to buying a few new bits of clothes for the cooler weather. And of course I start thinking about knitting sweaters and mittens. I wonder what kind of winter we'll have????? Did you realise that there are only 148 days until Christmas?
Well it's been a good productive day in my world. And after another good night's sleep I'll be ready to face the world again. I look forward to finishing this current quilt off but because it's quite a large one I know it will take another couple of days to get it done. I don't have many appointments this week so I can concentrate on it properly.
So for this evening, this very happy longarm quilter will be hand sewing a Tile Works block or at least as many of the 49 patches as I can in one evening. I hope you have a super cosy evening dong something you truly enjoy doing. Until you read me again,
Happy stitching. ♥ ♥


text: Tax Tips Tax Tips for Newlyweds Late spring and early summer are popular times for weddings. Whatever the season, a change in your marital status can affect your taxes. Here are several tips from the IRS for newlyweds. 1.Name and Your Social Security Information Need to Be the Same It is important that the names and Social Security numbers that you put on your tax return match your Social Security Administration records. If you have changed your name, report the change to the SSA. To do that, file Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card. 2. Address Change If your address has changed, file Form 8822, Change of Address to notify the IRS. You should also notify the U.S. Postal Service if your address has changed. You can ask to have your mail forwarded online at USPS.com or report the change at your local post office. 3. Report Your Name and Address Change to Your Employer If you work, report your name or address change to your employer. This will help to ensure that you receive your Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, after the end of the year. 4. Check Your Federal Income Tax Withholdings If you and your spouse both work, you should check the amount of federal income tax withheld from your pay. Your combined incomes may move you into a higher tax bracket. You can use the IRS Withholding Calculator tool to help you complete a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. 5. Itemized Deductions If you didn't qualify to itemize deductions before you were married, that may have changed. You and your spouse may save money by itemizing rather than taking the standard deduction on your tax return. You'll need to use Form 1040 with Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. You can't use Form 1040A or 1040EZ when you itemize. 6.What Filing Status Should I Choose? If you are married as of December 31, that is your marital status for the entire year for tax purposes. You and your spouse usually may choose to file your federal income tax return either jointly or separately in any given year. You may want to figure the tax both ways to determine which filing status results in the lowest tax. In most cases, it's beneficial to file jointly.

Hey Readers! I've been going through my photos and have found a few fun treasures that I have never shared.
One being these fun Vintage stools that I pick up at a garage sale for $1 each! I was on cloud 9, but had no clue what I was going to do with them.
But truly, who would pass these up for a whole $1??
Admittedly they did sit for a few weeks and then it dawned on me that I had purchased a bolt of this adorable Dick and Jane oil cloth at our local Goodwill. It was marked $3.99, but just happened to be 50% off again. And when I bought that, I also had no clue what I would use it for. But again, couldn't pass it up.
Guess what? It was JUST what I wanted for my stools. I wanted some fun stools for my children to use at their homework stations (to be built). Bingo!
I don't have step by step photos, but I took apart the original seat covers and literally threw together a pattern and made new ones within 30 minutes. Don't look closely because they are not perfect.
I spray painted the frames, and put them back together and they were perfect!
Here is a fun side by side before and after shot!
That's it for today! Don't forget to head over to Facebook and follow me there and be sure to check out all of the places I like to party all week long by clicking here.

Establishing the Safety Infrastructure
Safety Package Module 9:
Safety in Design, Safety Assessment and Research for Safety and Regulatory Purposes
This module provides support for implementation of the actions related to:
- The resources required for safety assessment
- The scope and contents of the safety assessment and review process by the operating organization and the regulatory body
- Safety considerations in design of nuclear power plants and in the bid specification and evaluation
- Long term planning for safety research and competence building.
Related SSG-16 Actions: 117 – 121; 170 – 184; 99 – 104
In Phase 1, the government should familiarize itself with the IAEA safety standards and with other States' practices, as appropriate, to gain an understanding of the resources needed for capabilities for safety assessment. The government should learn the objectives for nuclear safety, and how they are taken into account in nuclear power plants of various designs.
The government should also consider the availability of the technical infrastructure and the potential impacts of this on the design requirements for the safety of the plant. The government should consider in which areas in-depth knowledge is necessary for assessing and analysing safety-related aspects of a nuclear power plant project, and should identify research centres that can establish research programmes in safety related areas of knowledge.
In Phase 2, all the relevant organizations should obtain an in-depth understanding of the safety principles and safety requirements applicable in the design of a nuclear power plant, and should develop the expertise to prepare for the conduct or review of safety assessments. The operating organization should become knowledgeable regarding the nuclear power technologies available, investigate their safety features, and include in the bid specification all the safety and regulatory aspects that should be considered in the design. The regulatory body should prepare and enact national safety regulations on design that are necessary for bid specification. The government and the operating organization as applicable should start to implement plans for improving the national technical infrastructure, as necessary, to fill in previously identified gaps in the capabilities necessary for ensuring safety. Research centres should begin conducting research relating to safety in areas in which in-depth knowledge is essential to support safe long term operation of nuclear power plants.
In Phase 3, the operating organization should not only conduct an adequate safety review of the designs proposed by the vendors in the submitted bids, but also establish proper interaction with the selected vendor for the transfer of knowledge of the safety design to the operating organization, so that it can establish a 'design entity' that will maintain the knowledge of the safety design over the lifetime of the plant. The operating organization should develop safety documents, including the safety analysis report, that demonstrate that all relevant safety requirements have been met. These safety documents should be provided to the regulatory body as the safety documents required in the licensing process. Research centres and other relevant organizations should focus their research on the features and safety aspects of the nuclear power plant that will be constructed, including features and aspects specific to the actual plant site.
Safety Standards
Safety Requirements
- Safety Assessment for Facilities and Activities General Safety Requirements Part 4 (GSR Part4)
Applicable to Phases 1, 2 and 3
- Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design Specific Safety Requirements (SSR-2/1)
Applicable to Phases 1, 2 and 3
Safety Guides
There are numerous safety guides that support safety assessment. These, along with the requirements documents listed above are organized thematically within the Global Safety Assessment Network (GSAN)
IAEA Assistance
Education and Training
During phases 1 and 2 the Safety Assessment Education and Training (SAET) programme provides training to requesting Member States on preparing informed decision-makers in fundamentals of safety assessment. This training consists of:
- Workshop 1: Fundamentals of Safety Assessment for decision makers
- Training programme 1: Fundamentals of Safety Assessment
- Training programme 2: Engineering aspects important to safety
- Training programme 3: Deterministic safety analysis
- Training programme 4: Probabilistic safety analysis
- Training programme 5: Crosscutting Topics
This competency building programme, based on the SAET Syllabus, enables various stakeholders to perform tasks such as bid and safety report preparation and review. An important goal during these phases is to structure a sustainable Education and Training (ET) framework through the development of a skilled core team, including elements such as train the trainer and knowledge management.
The SAET programme can be developed by the MS in cooperation with the Safety Assessment Section either by identifying the specific training programmes required or as the result of a DSARS Safety Assessment Advisory Programme (SAAP) (see Advisory Services), which aims at identifying the E&T needs within the MS regarding safety assessment topics. A tailored education and training programme is subsequently developed and implemented in preparation for the conduct or the review of safety assessments.
During Phase 3, requesting Member States can be provided with continuous in-depth training tailored to the organization's responsibilities (TSOs, regulator, owner-operator). This training includes theoretical, practical, and on-site training as well as on-the-job mentoring in preparation for licensing, construction and commissioning. Topics include:
- Design basis analysis
- Extended design conditions analysis
- Level 1 PSA
- Level 2 PSA
- Level 3 PSA
- Design Safety Review
- Regulatory Review
- Periodic Safety Review
- Integrated Risk Informed Decision Making (IRIDM)
Additional information can be found on the Global Safety Assessment Network (GSAN) in the Education and Training section.
Advisory Services
The Design and Safety Assessment Review Service (DSARS) is formed of the following modules:
- Safety Assessment Advisory Programme (SAAP)
- Design Safety Review (DSR/GRSR)
- International Probabilistic Safety Assessment Review Team (IPSART)
- Review of Accident Management Programme and Emergency Operating Procedures (RAMP)
- Periodic Safety Review (PSR)
The DSARS provides:
- A detailed review of a full SAR or selected chapters
- Advice in support of licensing regarding the NPP design documentation and it's completeness, robustness and comprehensiveness
- Feedback regarding areas that make a strong safety case as well as areas that may require strengthening.
In phase 1, Member States may request a DSARS/SAAP Advisory Mission. The mission provides:
- Advice on competency and capacity needs for establishing an NPP programme based on the SAET Syllabus
- Familiarization with safety assessment self-evaluation methodology and tools

IMDb Rating: 5.7
Full movie description "Double Danger":Robert Crane is a slick jewel thief who also doubles as a novelist writing about a slick-jewel-thief known as 'The Gentleman,' who the police have never been able to catch. Although Police Inspector Davd Theron, a friend of the 'novelist' Crane, suspects Crane may be the thief he writes about, he has never been able to prove it. Theron sets a trap for Crane, but jewel-thief Carolyn Martin gets there first.
Reviews of the Double DangerPretty creaky film by 1938 standards. Seems like it would be more at home circa 1930. While you watch this remember that Gone With The Wind would be released just one year later. Sure Double Danger had a low budget but really...this plays like one of the early talkies. The ones before they figured out how to use sound.
The character of "The Gentleman" jewel thief appears to be a royalty free way to use the character of "The Saint". But then since when has the movie industry been worried about such things? "The Falcon" anyone?
Nice to see a pre-Blondie Arthur Lake acting pretty much the same as he would 15+ years later in that series.

Recently, I have found myself consumed with worry, fear, and doubt over some situations that I am facing. I have been so consumed that I have been robbed of the joy of each day as I focused on something in the future that may or may not even happen.
I know that tomorrow is not promised so why am I sabotaging my today?
The thing is that whenever I take my eyes off of Jesus and focus on my issues – my issues become larger than my God. Overwhelmingly so! At least in my mind.
I have been through lots of trials in my life and never once has God not been by my side. There have been times that I have not been by His as I walked off in my own direction. I can just imagine God shaking his head.
A while back I was having a conversation with a friend that I met only through Facebook. She was asking me to pray for her because some of her burdens "felt like chains" and she could almost see the impression marks from the chains on her shoulders.
I shared with her something that I have done in the past and she asked me to blog about it. Today seems like the time since it seems I too have been carrying things without even realizing it.
I used to have this little blue wooden cross (about 8 inches tall) that had the saying, "The cross is where we come and lay our burdens in faith." I placed it in my window and looked at it everyday. I used to visualize a basket at the bottom. Whenever something was weighing on me, I imagined walking right up to the basket at the bottom of the cross and dumping all my worries in it and walking away much lighter than when I arrived. If ever I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders again, I knew that I had taken "it" back from God. I would stop what I was doing and walk back to the basket at the foot of the cross and dump that "stuff" right back in so I could enjoy and be present in the day. Being present in life's moments – is there anything better than that?
Through numerous moves, I am not sure what has become of my little cross. Fortunately, it was merely a reminder of the real one!
I am very grateful to have a husband that reminds me to go to that place often even if he unknowingly does so. This morning as I picked up and dusted off my prayer journal – God was there waiting with open arms. As I wrote inside, I was reminded that I told someone that I would write this very blog.
The last thing that I want to share of my own personal experience with carrying my own burdens is that whenever I realize what I have been doing, I become heavy with guilt. I focus on the fact that I have once again fallen short. Have you ever heard that voice inside your head saying, "You could not even be faithful to God for a whole day?" Yeah, me too! I do not focus on the small victories in my daily life but rather on my failures. It really is a vicious cycle.
I do not know what you might be carrying. I just know that we all carry something from time to time. When the weight gets heavy, there is a place that you can lay it down. God meant for us to have joy-filled lives and to be present in the moment.
When you lay "it" down, celebrate that as a victory. Try seeing yourself as God sees you today. He does not see us as the miserable failures that we often see ourselves as but rather "perfection." Hard to imagine, I know. He does not chastise us for our slip-ups. So perhaps, we need to let those go too!
"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
Until Next Time,

Rabbi David Krishef
Dennis B. asks, "I'm sure we'd all be in agreement why America has Sundays off from work. But I started wondering, when did Saturday become an additional day off? So, I did a bit of research and found this:
"Some 19th-century Britons used the week's seventh day for merriment rather than for the rest prescribed by scripture. They would drink, gamble and enjoy themselves so much that the phenomenon of 'Saint Monday,' in which workers would skip work to recover from Sunday's gallivanting, emerged. English factory owners later compromised with workers by giving them a half-day on Saturday in exchange for guaranteed attendance at work on Monday.
"It took decades for Saturday to change from a half-day to a full day's rest. In 1908, a New England mill became the first American factory to institute the five-day work week. It did so to accommodate Jewish workers, whose observance of a Saturday sabbath forced them to make up their work on Sundays, offending some in the Christian majority. The mill granted these Jewish workers a two-day weekend, and other factories followed this example. The Great Depression cemented the two-day weekend into the economy, as shorter hours were considered a remedy to underemployment.
"Wouldn't it be right (ethical) to have Friday added to the weekend out of respect for Islam, a religious belief that is projected to become the second-largest religion in America by 2050?"
Ty Silzer, a former pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America who attends Mars Hill Bible Church, responds :
"I believe this question's reality is economics, but could benefit from both religious and ethical viewpoints.
"The Bible was written largely during agrarian periods of history and foremost to farmers. Plants and livestock treat the sabbath as any other day: consuming, growing and needing care. For God to not only take a day off (Genesis 2.2-3), but to ask us to do the same (Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5), he's asking us to trust His provision and care for our tiny worlds while we rest, and to care for our whole person, something easily missed during the work week.
"Fast-forward millennia, and you now have an employer who is using the Jewish Saturday and the Christian Sunday to attract and retain workers; neither is required to observe the other's day, but when one is working five days while one's neighbors are working six, I can't help but imagine smiling going to work on Monday. That's human nature. Competing businesses that wished to retain their workers were forced to 'meet to compete.' Contrast this a century later, and my friend who worked for Delta Air Lines received a four 10-hour-day workweek not only to reward him, but to counter his long commute. Regular days off are neither ethical nor unethical.
"It's not in the nature of a business to 'trust,' but my wish would be for businesses to recognize the needs of their employees, religious or health, and to honor them individually in their uniqueness before bottom lines."
Fred Stella, the Pracharak (Outreach Minister) for the West Michigan Hindu Temple, responds on behalf of our Muslim panelist:
"Friday is not a Sabbath to Islam as we understand Saturdays and Sundays are to Jews and Christians. Yes, Friday prayers at the mosque are important, but it is not a day of rest, as I understand it. I would strongly encourage employers to make whatever reasonably appropriate arrangements for their Muslim employees to attend. Since these gatherings tend to take place during the lunch hour, I expect few problems arise.
"What seems to be more on the mind of religious minorities is the hope that schools, businesses and community organizations pay special attention to holidays when setting their events calendar. Yes, it can be more of a challenge to please all concerned, and there should be some flexibility on the part of the minorities in certain situations. My conversations with schools lead me to understand that this would involve no more than a couple of days a year. But when a school, say, agrees not to hold its homecoming on Diwali, a very important Hindu holiday, it says to student adherents of that faith, 'We recognize you.' I am pleased to see more calendars reflect this sort of thinking. By the way, Hinduism has no Sabbath, though in Christian-majority countries Sunday has become a sort of de facto Sabbath simply because it provides an opportunity for the entire family to visit the temple. But temples normally are open and offer services daily. One goes when one is inspired. We do have so many special days during the year that, if we did establish a Sabbath, no work would ever get done!"

Wildlife safaris at the Gal Oya National Park Sri Lanka
The Gal Oya National Park is the only national park where it is possible to go on a boat safari in Sri Lanka. Wildlife viewing from the boat is for the various islands that dot the Senanayake Samudra (Reservoir).
History and Description of the Gal Oya National Park Sri Lanka
The Gal Oya National Park situated in Sri Lanka's South Eastern Province was established in 1954 by the Gal Oya Development Board. Its primary function is to protect the catchment area of the vast Senanayake Samudra. It was subsequently handed over to the Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1965. This Reservoir is the lake which holds the largest amount of water in Sri Lanka.
The Buddhangala Sanctuary which is one of the four protected areas that make up the Gal Oya National Park has ruins of a dagoba and other buildings dating back to the 2nd Century BC. It is believed that Lord Buddha visited here during his last time in Sri Lanka. In the hilly country to the West of the Park was one of the last strongholds of Sri Lanka's indigenous tribes, the Veddas.
Flora and fauna at the Gal Oya National Park
The Gal Oya National Park is rich in both flora and fauna. About 45 percent of the Park is covered by evergreen forest and a further 33 percent is taken up by savannah areas. The 25,900 hectare Park has about 32 species of mammals including the Common Langur, the endemic Toque Macaque, Sri Lankan leopards, Sri Lankan sloth bears, Sri Lankan elephants, wild boar, water buffalo and three species of deer.
The Park has just three distinct types of flora - forest, shrub and grasslands. There is a substantial area of both low lying savanna grasslands called Thalawa, and mountainous grasslands called Pathana. Three rare types of Ayurvedic plants can be found growing in Gal Oya. The Park has three mountains within its boundaries namely Danigala, Nilgala and Ulpotha - the highest peak reaching 900 metres.
Encompassing four protected areas, Gal Oya is Sri Lanka's only National Park where it is possible to experience a Boat Safari. The vast Senanayake Samudra is dotted with many small islands which are home to an incredible diversity of bird species; including Sri Lanka's largest bird the Lesser Adjutant and the Red Faced Malkoha.
There are 150 of Sri Lanka's 430 recorded bird species resident here."Kurulu Dupatha" or Birds Island is home to a great number of birds nesting in the forest and in the rocky outcrops on higher ground.
A highlight here is the elephants that can be seen swimming from one island to another. This 'crossing' has to be observed very carefully as elephants are very vulnerable when they are swimming and can even drown if boats come too close.

Josh Weil on "My Aeschylus" by Jim Shepard
Josh Weil, author of the new collection The Age of Perpetual Light, shares one of his favorite stories—"My Aeschylus" by Jim Shepard—in this Model Short Story. Here, he discusses how short stories are mystical experiences and why Shepard's is so powerful.
"The best short stories are simultaneously the least understandable and most fully felt. They hits us with undeniable force, a concrete impact, but why they do, how they cause us such hurt or buoy us or knock us flat isn't immediately clear. They operate like a kind of magic. They are mystical experiences." READ
Who was your favorite teacher growing up? What do you like eating for breakfast? What do you do on an average Sunday? In this craft post, Min Jin Lee, author of the National Book Award shortlisted novel Pachinko, writes about the benefits of conducting "pointless" interviews to improve your fiction.
"If you are fortunate enough to spend time with strangers who will tell you very harmless facts about their lives, very often, you will be allowed to enter their intimate space as they remember their lives. I am not a smart journalist when I am interviewing my subjects; I am more like a curious old aunt who is just interested in getting to know you better." READ

A highly desired line (photo does not show the whole line) by Too Faced.
If you recently stopped by and read my blog on the "Just Peachy Palette" and seen the gorgeous swatches you'll know I'm in love with this line and I'm sure many more are too.
In this photo I have the "Peach Perfect matte foundation", "Just Peachy Palette" and the "Peach Perfect Setting Powder." I'll list the color and prices.
Peach perfect 14hr matte foundation in the color natural beige. $36.00 and Peach perfect mattifying loose powder $32
Let me just say the foundation lives up to the 14 hours of staying put and matte. I've tried it with the setting powder and without, both left impressive results. Now, as we women all know shade selection is very important! Unfortunately, this line only offers 11 shades. I am normally light to medium from Jan-June and then medium from then on… gotta get my natural sun glow on. Lol!! I will say that the natural beige I bought is a tad light for me at the moment, but I think once Fall rolls up (so excited for fall colors) it will be a perfect match. It's nothing a little bronzer (I currently use The Balm Betty-Lou Manizer) can't fix. I sure hope that TF will add more shades in the future.(Pictured above) Here it is blended out using just my good ol' finger.
If you haven't gotten a chance to play with the loose mattifying powder it has a peachy tone that blends out to a translucent color. I broke off the plastic inside cover it came with because honestly it was just getting in the way. I guess it's just your general preference.
Overall, I am loving this line and hope to buy some of their other products. I've got my eye on their Peach kiss moisture matte longwear lipsticks (boy that was a mouth full), sweetie pie matte bronzer ( idk about you guys, but I've never owned a "matte" bronzer!? And last but not least, the Peach my cheeks "melting" powder blush. How interesting does that sound "melting" blush sound.
Well, enough of my blabbering.. Fall is coming and I'd recommend these. All these products from this line smell delicious, feel good on your skin and are exclusively found at Sephora. Total "NAY" for me!!
If you've enjoyed this, please follow for more.. Thanks for reading! Cheers!!

Website hacked inspite of WP-security
My website Restaurants Uncut was hacked in spite of sufficient security including WP-security plugin.
The problem is I cannot detect any file whose code has changed. Usually in the past I could find the suspicious file. This time around, there's just no altered file. I've checked the modified dates and no file is modified in the dates when the site was hacked.
I've tried the recommended method of deleting all the files as well as admin and include folders (except wp-content) and replacing them with clean install of the same version. In the past this method has worked. Not this time around.
Where can the malicious code or file be hidden? Is there any WP plugin that can detect this.
For the record, I'm still able to access the admin area, it's the front-end that has been defaced.
Please help me!

By MIKE HUFFMAN
Managing Editor
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously appointed former Spokane City Council Member Nancy McLaughlin to the board to represent District 1.
The seat was vacated at the end January, when then-Commissioner Todd Mielke accepted the job of CEO for Greater Spokane Inc.
The appointment process required that the Spokane County Republican Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) meet and vote for three nominees to fill the vacant elected office. The three selected were Nancy McLaughlin, former state Sen. Jeff Baxter and Josh Kerns, legislative aide to 6th District Rep. Jeff Holy.
In making the nomination, Commissioners Al French and Shelly O'Quinn commented on how all three candidates had thoroughly prepared themselves and were highly qualified.
French said he would follow the will of the local PCOs.
"All three nominees did an outstanding job today, but I must give weight and deference to the process that the party followed and nominate Nancy McLaughlin," French said. McLaughlin came in first place when the PCOs voted earlier this month.
McLaughlin took the oath of office later that day.
McLaughlin served on the Spokane City Council from 2006 to 2013. She and her husband Dave also own D-Mac Construction, a Spokane business since 1980.

October 8, 2009 --Shingles may be more than just painful. A new study suggests it may increase the risk of stroke. Shingles is caused by reactivation of the chicken pox virus, which lays dormant in nerve fibers. It's thought the virus may spread along the nerve fibers to blood vessels where it could induce harmful inflammatory and blood clotting effects.
Research in the journal Stroke found that a bout of shingles raises the risk of stroke over the next year by roughly 30 percent.
For patients with shingles involving the eyes, the risk of stroke was more than four times higher.

Nassau, Texas
An extensive tract of land purchased in 1843 for colonization by German emigrants. Named for Duke Adolf of Nassau, protector of the emigration society, it was once one of the show places of Texas. Although the 4,428 acres could have been a good half-way station for German colonists on the long journey to western lands, this use was rejected by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, the commissioner general of the "Adelsverein", or German Emigration Society. He feared that the site, which was close to non-German settlements, would cause his people to lose their distinctive national culture. Though never colonized, Nassau became a welcome place for relaxation during trying periods of the emigration movement. Here the prince enjoyed horse racing and held feasts costing thousands of dollars. His successor as commissioner, John O. Meusebach, came to Nassau for less extravagant entertainment. The main dwelling on the plantation was built of oak, two stories high. Even in frontier days it had two glass windows. Cotton was grown on the lands. In 1848 the bankrupt Adelsverein sold Nassau. It was later divided into small farms, cultivated by descendants of the original German pioneers. - Historical Marker Text. Marker erected 1968.

Democrats against gay marriage
I'm Craig Farmer,
a Democrat whose goal is to make the word liberal safe again!
Just to let some of the new viewers understand, a newliberal is a person who is dedicated to using their best judgement to solve problems. This is as opposed to tradition, ideology, party position, or even emotion. There are many conservatives both on the left and the right who don't use their judgement and analysis of the facts to come to conclusions but rather accept a predisposed outcome and then they seek out facts that corroborate their opinion. Rather than leftists or right wingers, being a newliberal means you are trying as best you can to look at the real world and make an indepedent judgement.
Just to give you an indication of my politics: I support President Obama in his bid for re-election 100%. I am a yellow dog democrat. I seek to change the party from within. With a country so vast and large, no thinking minded person could/should agree with any political party completely, but I feel it is best to cast your lot with whom you please and work to make them as good as possible.
Issues wise:
education: I think the government should guarantee everyone a quality education as defined by parents. So I support vouchers and other free market reforms as well as revamping public schools to be more acheivement oriented.
abortion: Though I recognize the loss of potential human life, I support a woman's right to choose an abortion because there is no other workable system available in a free society. I think the phrase, "safe, legal, and rare" should actually be policy rather than an empty slogan.
gun control: I support gun control because it is clear to me that on balance, the less guns, the less crime. I know there are many individual instances where people with guns prevent crime and protect themselves and others but there are also many otherwise law abiding people who wind up using guns to hurt people they are associated with in a violent moment that without guns would never have occurred.
foreign policy: I support a strong military that actively defends our interests both home and abroad. I was against Iraq but for Afganistan. I think we need to define our missions clearly, acheive our goals, and then get out. I think Pres. Bush fought Iraq in a leftwing mode where he tried to please too many people, and wound up making the war worse than it had to be.
health care: I support universal healthcare for all Americans. We should use the private sector to deliver the services and have the govt. regulate their businesses. This could be done through some sort of voucher or tax credit program that leaves choices up to the American people. since this is not being discussed today, I support the current bills in the House and Senate, though I hope Sen. Wyden of Oregon gets his way to open up the exchange to everyone, so we all have choices.
affirmative action: I support affirmative action for all types of people to be included throughout our society. I think it is fair to take race, gender, economic status, body type, family background, etc. as 1 of many factors in making important decisions. By the way, this also leads me to respect some aspects of racial/religious profiling if it helps reduce crime and protect our nation. There you have it, as you can see, I am independent.
Today's topic is "Gay Marriage".
We need Democrats to stand against gay marriage.
We need Democrats to stand against the agenda of the gay rights lobby.
There is a group of people who are determined to change our society regardless of the implications and whether the American people agree. They have been working in Hollywood for decades, and you can see the results not only in many t.v. shows and movies, but even in commercials. There has been an assault on traditional marriage, a celebration of divorce, and a drive not only to tolerate but accept as equal people engaging in a homosexual lifestyle. I would stipulate some people are born gay. But some also choose that and other deviant lifestyles. In America, we shouldn't seek to make everything bad or strange illegal, but we should strive to build our culture strong and make it sustainable for our future generations. As Democrats we need to strengthen the insitution of marriage by making it harder to get married, and harder to get divorced. Part of our problem today is that we have allowed the institution to wither and it has so much so, that the radical leftists are in the process of redefining it. We truly are defining deviancy down. So as Democrats we need to look at the tax code, waiting periods before marriage, rules about joint ownership, and just our approach in civil society to make marriage more meaningful. It is not enough to just be against gay marriage, we need to be for a stronger union. There are some who are celebrating all of the ballot initatives that are defining marriage correctly, and ban gay marriage. But I look at the closeness of some of the votes, where over 47% of people are either supporting gay marriage or not wanting to define traditional marriage as one man and one woman. Also, the younger generation is clearly more supportive of gay marriage and gay rights in general. This is an important time when we as Democrats need to reverse this trend. We need to say it is ok for us to believe it's not ok to be gay. I'm like millions of other Democrats who wouldn't want my children to be gay. While we should treat everyone with respect, we the people through our government have a right to define our culture and laws for the common good. Now realistically, I don't believe President Obama when he claims to agree with me that he believes marriage is between1 man and 1 woman. I think he is just pandering to the voting public. But we as Democrats need to strengthen his political hand so he doesn't keep moving left. We don't want openly gay people serving in the military. We don't want school textbooks presenting gay relationships as normal. We don't want the feminization of boys/men to continue in our entertainment culture. We don't want gay rights groups taking the banner of civil rights. We dont' want gay marriage. We can work to make sure all people are treated fairly in every situation without making false equations between African Americans and homosexuals. People are defined as gay by virtue of sexual behavior. The government has the right to regulate behavior. If it doesn't then that would attack the basis for most of our laws. I want the millions of Democrats who agree to take back our party from the activists who are controlling the levers of power. Don't allow them to control the language, and bully you into silence. You don't have to support gay rights just because you're a democrat. You don't have to be quiet because many of them support the rest of the Democratic agenda. We need a truly progressive agenda that is good for America. That means not only supporting traditional marriage, but making it better and stronger.

What you are saying is good, but we also as Democrates need to stand against murder as well in the form of abortion.

If Abortion was Murder. As a newliberal, I'd be against it because murder is wrong. Murder is immoral. Murder is evil.
Abortion is not Murder. Here's why.
First of all, that it is a discussion, proves it's not murder.
Second, abortions are medical procedures that a woman consents to for her own health needs. A woman is 100% human with equal rights. (Though women often try to have it both ways). If an abortion occurred outside a woman's body, it would be infanticide and murder. It occurs within a human body, it is her decision. That's brutal. It's not pretty. I am personally against abortion. But it is a woman's body. If we decide that a fetus is a human being. (it's not. It's a developing human being) And that women must sacrfice to save the life of another human (fetus). Then why wouldn't there be equal protection for everyone else? Forced blood donations. Forced body part transplants. Forced diets for pregnant women. The government controlling all fertile women, who it is proven lose on average 7 "babies" through natural spontaneous abortions.
The point is, abortion is emotional, difficult, and painful. It is not murder.

This is so obviously a conservative trying to sway moderates over to his own ways of thinking. Why on earth should anyone oppose gay marriage? If two people get married, what impact does it have on your life? There are hundreds if not thousands of other issues that have far more immediate consequences for all of us. How two people wish to spend their lives should be up to them. Let's be honest - by and large marriage is not a religious ceremony anymore. Any state in the union will allow a civil ceremony with little if any religious overtones. As such, religious dogma should not influence our policies concerning who can and cannot marry. What is available to heterosexuals should be available to homosexuals, and with it all the attendant taxt benefits and the the way in which estates are probated and property passes to spouses upon death.

If you think that gay marriage will not change things then come to Illinois. The Catholic Church had to drop out of the adoption bussiness because they wouldn't adopt to gay couples out of religious convictions. The state wouldn't give them a religious exemption, even when their Church believes this to be sin.

"Just to let some of the new viewers understand, a newliberal is a person who is dedicated to using their best judgement to solve problems."
So I would assume you are in favor of making decisions based upon facts. Here is an link from an independent source so you can educate yourself on gun control. The info you are currently using is a myth.

It is a breath of fresh air to hear someone who sees the issues the way I do. There are not many people who support President Obama's reelection 100% and yet do not support gay marriage and abortion on demand. I thought I was the only one.
- June 12, 2012 at 9:23 AM
At this point you have to make a choice. Obama, gay marriage, and the Democrat Party or what is morally and ethically right. You cannot have it both ways.
- June 16, 2012 at 8:27 PM
I am a Democrat to the bone, however, I do not agree with or support gay marriage. I also don't support illegal immigration. Furthermore, I resent the fact that I, an independent thinking, educated person, can not have a divergent view than those in my party without being called a racist or a bigot.

The only reason anyone decides to expend energy opposing gay marriage is to cover up their own closeted homosexuality.
- September 7, 2012 at 11:10 AM
- Craig Farmer said...
That's interesting Jessica. Is that only true with this one topic? Is the only reason someone would oppose beastiality is to cover up their own? The only reason to oppose a certain religion is to cover up their own desire to be in that religion? The only reason to oppose public nudity is because of a deep desire to join in?
I'm a true liberal. I challenge anyone to civil debate. If you're right you should win, easily. Without personal attacks and emotional outbursts.

CES 2017 - Where's The Excitement
So CES 2017 is all done bar the shouting. For the first time I'm left feeling a little deflated by the whole thing. Were there any announcements that left you salivating for the arrival of new product in stores? Was your wallet bouncing around as your credit cards twitched in anticipation of a technology spending spree?
Me neither.
Yes there were some sleek new TVs, some home gadgets and lots of talk of Cortana in cars. The show stopping new announcement? It didn't happen.
Have we become so immune to new technology that businesses need to start worrying about their future sales figures? Or was it just a fallow year?

Back to Reality
I'm back at work and have less time to see the grandbabies now. We have some regular time with the older two since we enrolled them in gymnastics on Thursday evenings. Their daddy gets off work early and goes in with the 2 year old. Some days it works; some days it doesn't. Daddy had to pull him out yesterday because he wasn't listening. Of course, it broke his heart because he wanted to bounce and roll and hang and swing and fall but Daddy told him if he doesn't listen to the teacher, he can't play. So after seeing his tear-streaked face and hearing his sobs, I walked over (Daddy was watching Granddaughter) and asked him, "Do you want a drink?" He looked up at me and sobbed, "But I no listen!" Cracked me up! I got him a Nehi Grape soda to share with Daddy and his sister (when she finished up).
Both are now in day care, but they don't really like it too much. Granddaughter is more accepting, but that's because she's more social. But both of them cry during the day that they want to see their mommy and daddy, and sometimes their Nee Nee and Boppa. So on Thursdays we pick them up earlier than need be just to give them a little reprieve. There's really nothing wrong with the center, but it's small and a bit confining for the two-year old. But the teachers seemed to have warmed up to them, esp. the grandson, who gets carried around a lot!
When school first started back up (for me), I didn't get to see them for almost a week. So when Granddaughter came running up to me, I scooped her up and said, "I've missed you!" and she hugged me back and said, "I miss you too!" That's worth it all!
They are saying and doing such cute things, but I always forget to write them down. Forget finding time to blog about them on a daily basis.
The next-to-youngest grandchild turns one TODAY! Last week he suffered through a viral infection that gave him an asthmatic condition and he had to have breathing therapy for a few days. Luckily, he seems much better. No wheezing. We are going over tonight with a small gift and a large check (for his investment fund). Yesterday, he started fussing when his uncle picked up his cousin (and his cousin was holding a cookie). He complained loudly then pointed to the cookie! Aha! So he's learning to make his wishes known.
The 4 week old's mommy is having a hard time with mommyhood. Things have always come so easily to her, and she's frustrated she's not the perfect Mom. Luckily, her hubby has an older child and has already gone through this, and so he is very supportive. The biggest problem is a tummy ache (similar to colic). They are switching formulas to see if it helps. We've babysat a couple times and he's slept almost the whole time!
Tomorrow starts our fall travel schedule so my time will be even more limited! I can't imagine what grandparents who don't live near their grandkids do!

Maya Table
COMPANY: Sam Frank Productions
LOOKING FOR: New clients and partnership opportunities
"I love all aspects of production and it really is a joy to see a project go from concept to creation." – Maya Table
An incredibly skilled producer and budding director, Maya Table is in love with what she does. She currently acts as the executive producer of her own company, Sam Frank Productions (SFP), an Atlanta-based video and media production company. She recently added "director" to her title, having directed 20 commercials this year for Disney, Walmart, Target and Babies R US.
The company's name is in honor of Maya's grandfather, Sam Frank Table, who gave her all of his film cameras and equipment a year before he passed away. "It was only fitting that I name my production company after him," says Table. Sam Frank Productions supports directors, other production companies, and its own clients. As one of the top producers in Atlanta, Table has been able to land affluent clients, and to deliver a finished product that their audiences appreciate. She has worked on several projects from a wide array of popular music videos to fashion shows and commercials. Over 65% of the music videos SFP has produced have eventually become an MTV Jam of the Week. Sam Frank Productions' ability to undertake a diverse range of assignments and still offer a unique, desirable product speaks to its success.
Sam Frank Productions provides services to entrepreneurs in pursuit of solidifying their brands, helping to support their visions and bring them to life. Table says that about 60% of her business comes from young entrepreneurs. She also mentors a minimum of 5 college students a year, teaching them the ins and outs of production, media and professionalism. Constantly looking for ways to take her business to the next level, Table is considering expansion through possible partnerships. If she is able to do so while maintaining SFP's high quality, the company will be a force to be reckoned with.

"Decreased non-interest expenditures and non-oil tax revenues cause special concern. They have dropped since 2000 as a result of weakened fiscal policy. Russia's fiscal policy has clearly weakened in the past three years," head of the IMF Moscow office David Owen said on Wednesday speaking at a round table discussion organized by the Russian Higher School of Economics. The round table is being held as part of the international scientific conference on the economy's competitiveness and modernization.
In the IMF's estimate, if oil prices were at the level of $20 per barrel today, Russia would run a considerable budget deficit amounting to over 1% of GDP.
The persistence of this trend in Russia's fiscal policy will give rise to risks linked with the weakened fiscal policy in the conditions of oil price decline, the expert says. "In this case, fiscal policy will have to be tightened. However, it is better to tighten it today to create a sort of a cushion for the economy in the event of oil price decline," David Owen believes.

How many types of power of attorney are there and do they expire?
How many types of powers of attorney are there and what is each one's duty? Also does the power of attorney expire at death?
Expert Answer
There are basically two types of powers of attorney: a power of attorney for finances, that empowers a person as an agent to manage another person's money matters, and a power of attorney for healthcare, also called an advance directive, that empowers another person to supervise or direct medical care for another person.
While both types of powers of attorney usually take effect when the person who made them lacks legal capacity to handle his or her own financial or medical affairs, they may also be tailored to take effect immediately when made""or at a specific date in the future.
The powers, rights and duties of the agent appointed in both types end with the death of the person who made the document.
