Did GDX Top?
I think today's action evidences the power of Elliott Wave analysis coupled with Fibonacci Pinball. Whereas many came into the open today assuming that the metals were finally breaking out, we were looking for a topping in at least the wave 3 of the c-wave. In fact, as some people were posting about how strong the metals seemed this morning, I posted that you need to be aware that 5th waves are the strongest in the metals, whereas 3rd waves are strongest in equities. This was the reminder that we are expecting the top to a 5th wave, but the primary expectation was that it would be a 5th wave in the 3rd wave of the c-wave rally.
As I have been noting of late, my bigger expectation was that we can rally to a minimum target of the 21.50 region for this c-wave of iv, but, more likely this would only be the top of wave 3 in that c-wave. Today, the market struck a high of 21.47, so we were off by 3 cents for this current top. And, to be honest, the bigger picture would still count best with another rally back up over the 21.50 region, closer to that 22-22.25 region to complete this c-wave closer to the downtrend line overhead.
Should the GDX be unable to hold the 19.90 support level, it would certainly complicate matters. Of course, it is possible that this was the top of all of the c-wave, but that really leaves too many questions for me. A break of 19.90 would make me go back to the alternative we were considering last week, where this top was a b-wave within a bigger (b) wave within wave iv. So, I put it back on the chart, just in case.
Also, it is entirely possible that this 21.50 is all we will get on the upside, and begin the drop to the 16-17 target region. Unfortunately, I would not be able to tell the difference between the two potentials until we dropped down to the 18.20 region, which clearly makes trading this region much more complex.
So, clearly, my preference would be for the market to hold the low we struck today, and begin a 5th wave rally to complete the wave iv sooner rather than later. Otherwise, this can delay the bottoming in the market by an additional several months.
Now, to be honest, the GLD has now topped out at a point where we can view it as completing a leading diagonal off the recent lows. If it should continue higher towards the 120 region, it would be more suggestive of it being a 4th wave, with an a=c off the bottom. But, as I highlighted in the past, I am still questioning whether GLD has truly bottomed or not. And, as I have also noted, the same goes for silver. Despite it having a very full downside structure, we still do not have the impulsive structure off the lows to solidify that a bottom has been struck.
As far as the individual miners, NEM to me still strongly argues for the lower lows I want to see. However, ABX can still push higher if this is an ending diagonal for its 5th wave of wave (i), as the break down of 13.40 has certainly made it clear it will not be a standard impulsive 5th wave. The other potential is that this is still part of the 4th wave of wave (i), which would follow in the same manner as the alternative blue count on the GDX. That would mean it can still drop down to the 12-12.25 region to complete a broader 4th wave, and still rally in a 5th wave to complete wave (i).
So, as you can see, there is still some amount of complication being presented by the complex in the coming weeks. However, there is nothing that is strongly suggestive that the broader complex has truly bottomed yet. I still think there are many charts that have lower lows sitting out there before we can see a sustained rally in 2019. So, when NEM finally bottoms, I will be much more confident of the resumption of a bullish trend.

Instead of adding the ingredients into the pot as directed, I mixed up a soy/sesame/hoisin/pepper miso/ginger/mirin sauce and marinated the ribs for about 5 hours. (NB this is a different sauce from that in the recipe. Some of the ingredients in the original would be hard to get in Mexico.)
I also put the ribs on the rack with the sauce underneath, to avoid the "boiled texture." That seems to be a valid approach. Ultimately, t
NancyAjijic says: I modified the recipe quite a bit, but this app won't let me explain what I did. I think the chef had a great idea, and it inspired me. It should work well for you.
Alberto Tila III says: Anka sauce is hard to acquire in local stores
Char Siu sauce is a great alternative.I would also suggest using pancake (not Maple)syrup if honey is not accessable
Guarhydroxypropylitromonium says: Very good, but very salty. I would recommend using low sodium soy sauce and no extra salt. You can always add salt later, but once it is cooked in the salt there is no going back. Overall, it is a very good recipe.

1.5 Select and apply two other normative theories to critically examine the current situation? (20 MARKS)
(Word guideline 1,700 words not including appendices)
APPENDIX : A Basic Methodology for applying Normative Ethical Theory to Case Studies:
(in most cases more concerned with 'external' than 'internal')
This forms the groundwork for a balanced and thorough discussion from different perspectives. It is reasonable to expect each stakeholder group to act in their own legitimate 'self-interest', and therefore to have their own expectations in any given situation. Specific normative theories should then be further applied to develop a pluralistic critique.
a) identify and compare 'harms' and benefits for each stakeholder group
b) reach an informed conclusion on 'the greatest good for the greatest number'
a) for each stakeholder group identify which basic human 'rights' are relevant
b) rank 'rights' according those which are most 'inalienable'
a) MAXIM 1. For the issue being considered, ask 'What if everyone acted in the same way? (The consistency test)
b) MAXIM 2. Are the actors treating other people the way they would like to be treated? ( a test for respect of persons, i.e. treating them as of intrinsic value and not just the means to an end)
c) MAXIM 3. What if the whole world knew what the actors are doing? (the Universality test, sometimes referred to as the 'New York Times' test, by assuming the actions were put on a newspaper front page
a) Virtue ethics
This focuses on the actors, rather than the business situation, and considers how character both shapes and is shaped by actions and habits of behaviour developed.
The perspective depends on first identifying what are appropriate 'virtues' in any context – these are often the 'values' identified in Codes of Conduct, and 'Values' Statements
The theory can be applied at an individual and an organisational level – often people who become 'whistle-blowers' find that their own personal values are in conflict with their organisation, and that to preserve their own character and integrity they are forced to become disloyal to an organisation, and to break an unwritten code of silence
b) Environmental ethics
This is of growing importance as the impacts of enterprise on environmental degradation of air, land and water is recognized. There are two main approaches:
i) the 'polluter pays' principle – this argues that use of natural resources should not be free to business, nor should the costs of cleaning up the environment be external to companies. It results in initiatives such as Carbon Trading
ii) a 'biocentric' view, known as 'deep ecology'. This approach refuses to consider economic activity from just an 'anthropomorphic' standpoint, and sees human social systems as part of a wider bio-system with which they are interdependent, and on whom they are dependent for survival – business activity should leave no footprint.
Both approaches are similar in viewing the need for 'sustainability' as a key business objective.
c) Discourse ethics
This relies on building mutual understanding through debate and dialogue. It assumes people will do what is rational, if enough discussion can be conducted to determine an optimum course of action.
d) Post-modern ethics
This doubts the wisdom of even pretending that man is a purely rational creature, or that common understanding is even truly possible. It instead relies on personal emotive reactions to specific situations, and the responses which follow from personal feelings.
e) Other theoriesN.B. There exist very diverse theories on ethics, these are just a few of the most influential ideas. Personal study may identify other useful ideas to apply e.g. contractualism

The upcoming Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul is scheduled for series production in 2024, but it already attracts a lot of interest in Europe.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks revealed that at the recent 2022 IAA Transportation in Hanover, it signed with Hegelmann Group a Letter of Intent for the order of 50 eActros LongHaul.
The family-owned company logistics company, which operates in Germany, will be among the first fleets that will get the eActros LongHaul in 2024.
Siegfried Hegelmann, Managing Shareholder at the Hegelmann Group said: "The greater the success, the greater the responsibility. We are open to challenges and at the same time we strive for sustainability in our industry."
Let's recall that the first prototypes of the 40-ton semi have already undergone intensive tests and later this year, they will be tested on public roads. In 2023, the company intends to send near-series prototypes to various customers for testing. Two of them - Amazon and Rhenus - already signed up for the tests.
According to the manufacturer, the Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul will have a driving range of about 500 km (311 miles), when equipped with a 600+ kWh battery pack.
The lithium-ion battery cells will be supplied by CATL, which is Daimler Truck's strategic partner. A specific agreement related to the eActros LongHaul has been signed at IAA Transportation.
The "concept prototype", shown on the display, previews the design language of the final vehicle, which will be available in a semitrailer tractor or flatbed chassis variants.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, CATL will supply LFP batteries also for the Trailer Dynamics' "eTrailer," which is essentially an electrified trailer with its own drive unit and batteries. A system like that could get over 800 km (500 miles) of range (60% increase).
"At the exhibition, CATL has strengthened cooperation with multiple leading OEMs in the sector. It signed a strategic partnership agreement with Trailer Dynamics, the German startup that is shaping long haul e-transportation for zero emissions logistics with the e-Trailer. Trailer Dynamics intends to use CATL platform-based system products in its e-Trailer projects with configurations in different kWh capacity dimensions."
Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul target specs:
- 40-ton semi for long-distance transport
two versions: tractor and rigid - range of up to 500 km (311 miles)
- more than 600 kWh battery (three battery packs)
lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries
confirmed battery supplier: CATL - e-axle with two electric motors
- system output: 400 kW continuous and over 600 kW peak
- fast charging: 20-80% SOC "in well under 30 minutes at a charging station with an output of about one megawatt"
- vehicle durability requirements: 1.2 million km (750,000 miles) on the road over a period of ten years

*This post has been updated for the practices of personal leadership series.
Several years ago, while biking with my close friend, he casually mentioned the following quote which has rocked my perspective ever since….
"You are the average of the top 5 people you spend the most time with." –Jim Rohn
To a huge extent, we become like the people we spend the most time with (including the mentors we follow, which we will talk more about next week).
Research shows this to be true in so many ways.
Our beliefs, our habits, our health, our lifestyles, even our incomes—are all powerfully influenced by our social network.
That is why being intentional and selective about our closest relationships is one of the most important things we will ever do for our personal leadership practices.
Who are you spending time with on a regular basis?
Are these the people that you want to become?
Many people are careless about their social environment, even though it represents one of the most powerful forces that will ever shape us.
The Galapagos
A few years ago, my wife and I got the chance to take a bucket list trip to the Galapagos Islands.
One of the fascinating things we got to see on our trip were Darwin's famous marine iguanas, found nowhere else in the world. They served as a key species in unlocking his theories.
Marine iguanas are an incredible living example of evolution. Unlike any other iguana, their bodies have adapted to find food in the marine environment.
They can dive up to 100 feet deep and remain under water for up to 30 minutes. Over time, they developed flatter tails that propel them in the ocean, webbed feet for swimming, longer claws for clutching slippery rocks, and blunt noses in order to eat seaweed in tight underwater cracks.
Unlike the typical green iguana, their skin is also darker to absorb heat from the sun so they can remain warm while submerged.
The environment literally shaped their physical bodies.
As humans, we aren't much different.
According to research, our environments play a gigantic role in shaping us—physically and psychologically.
Many people try to make changes in their lives while ignoring the raw power of the environments they are choosing to place themselves in. They simply believe they can use willpower to fight for the changes they are seeking.
But research shows this is not an effective strategy.
Willpower doesn't work.
If you want strong personal leadership habits, the best way is to spend time with people who have the habits you want.
Choose your environments wisely
Organizational psychologist Benjamin Hardy spent most of his time in graduate school studying willpower.
His bestselling book Willpower Doesn't Work is the culmination of his studies.
Hardy convincingly argues that people should use their limited willpower to consciously design their environments to make their goals easier to achieve.
When you want to change badly enough—you arrange your entire life around it.
As my former pastor used to say, "If you want to stop drinking, you don't go to your favorite bar for the nachos."
Whether you want to be a professional skier, a great writer, or ensure you stay sober—you have to get yourself around people further along in the journey.
You need to place yourself in the environments that will shape you into the person you desperately yearn to become.
Consider the following ways you can design your environments:
- People you choose to hang out with (social environment)
- Information you choose to consume (mental environment—read, watch, listen)
- Places you choose to go (physical)
- Experiences you chooseto have (memory and emotion)
Here are a few more studies that highlight the power our environment has on us…
In a massive study, The Equality of Opportunity Project at Brown University, results showed that whether you will improve your economic situation is highly predicted by the county you live in.
In their 2009 book Connected, Harvard and Yale alumni James Fowler and Nicolas Christakis explain research on how social networks influence many things from weight gain to heart disease to suicide.
The New England Journal of Medicine analyzed findings from the famous Framingham Heart Study that began in 1948, and concluded that "obesity appears to spread through social ties."
This makes sense. If you follow someone's social media stream, you are more likely to be influenced by their posts about anything from recipes to politics—or virtually any other behavior they promote or share about, because you are letting that information into your mind.
Another fascinating study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology suggests that back pain is a communicable disease that spreads through social contagion (an established psychological phenomena). To summarize the study briefly, in 1991 East Germany had much lower back pain rates than West Germany according to national health surveys. But 10 years after reunification, the rates were nearly identical. The authors concluded that people actually developed back pain as a result of being bombarded with media about back pain or meeting more people on disability for back pain!
Here is a quote from the study:
"We hypothesize back pain as a communicable disease and suggest a harmful influence of back-related beliefs and attitudes transmitted from West to East Germany via mass media and personal contacts."
Be careful what you allow into your mind on a daily basis, because you raise the odds that you will think about it more.
And what you think about will affect your decisions and shape your life.
In our culture of hard-core individualism, we like to think we can make changes on our own while ignoring our physical, mental, and social environments, even though countless studies show it is one of the most powerful forces in shaping our behavior.
But do we really need scientific evidence to tell us this?
Consider the ancient Hebrew scriptures written more than 2700 years ago:
"The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." –Proverbs 13:20
Choose wisely.
One disclaimer—One of the most important things in life is helping other people. That means you will devote a portion of your time to people in great need. However, your inner circle of friends should not be filled with people whose habits you don't want.
Turn information into action
- What is your criteria for friends (or a partner) you are looking for? Be intentional. Write it down. How will you find the friends you want if you don't know what you are looking for? Come up with a few core qualities that are most important to you. Needless to say, if you plan to get married, the person you marry will influence your life more than anyone else, so take your time and set high—but not perfectionistic—standards.
- Join a community group. One of the best ways to make friends who have the habits you want is to join a group. Do you want a better marriage? Do you want to start exercising more? Do you want better parenting skills? Whatever habit you want to develop, there is probably a group for it.
- End a relationship. In his wonderful book Necessary Endings, psychologist Henry Cloud says sometimes you need to make the difficult decision to end a relationship in order to make room for a new one.
- Go on "new friend dates." The older I get, the more it seems that people are already established in tight social circles and not looking for new friends. But the seasons of life change and you never know when someone might also be looking for a change in their lives too. It can be awkward when you don't find much in common but you might miss out on a lifelong friendship if you don't take the risk.
- Consume what you want to become. Much of our social influence comes from books, podcasts, or social media. Be selective about what you consume.
- Teach your kids about the importance of quality friends. You need to model the selection of great friends, then let your kids overhear youtalking about this subject regularly. Start early and never let up.
- Be the friend you want. Yes, you need great relationships to make you the kind of person you want to be, but paradoxically, you also need to be the kind of person you want to hang out with! This will help you attract and keep those people in your life. Its synergistic, and you need to work at both.
Have a great weekend!

For a former junior high school student in Calgary, this requires a transition to one of 33 extremely overcrowded high schools. With many administrative changes taking place during the summer holidays, the high school your child visited during Grade 9 orientation may be different from the one they enter after Labour Day. And this time, they may not be with a gaggle of their peers; nor is there a guide to usher them around. For some, this transition is daunting. And as a parent or guardian, you may be conflicted about how much assistance you should give to make the transition an easier one.
Having been a high school teacher for over 12 years, I recommend the following: Attend back-to-school events. Whether it's a barbeque or meet the teacher night, take advantage of the opportunity to meet the administrative, support and teaching staff in a casual, conflict-free environment. This is especially important if your student has, in the past, qualified for the frequent flyer program at the office. Ask to see their class schedule/semester load. Core and option course choices made in the previous year may have been honored, but the semester schedule could contain a heavy academic (math/science/English/social studies) load that could be intimidating. Finding a more equitable distribution of the workload can be addressed by a guidance counselor or teaching assistant (TA). Read the school's agenda. Each child is provided with a booklet outlining the school calendar, practices and policies. This is an invaluable resource. From report card issuing dates and professional development days to dress code and behavioral expectations, this booklet has it all.
During parent teacher conferences, it can help keep meetings focused on issues, not emotions. Walk their schedule. With busy, overcrowded hallways, your child may claim they can't make it to class on time. Take time during your visit to walk their schedule to understand the physical layout of the school. Then try to imagine it when the hallways are crammed with active teenagers. Introduce yourself. Being able to put a face to a name during telephone conversations is extremely helpful for both parties. This is especially significant with regard to support staff because the receptionist and/or office managers are the people your child will encounter first at the office. It is also helpful when work experience students answer the school's main line. If need be, you can request to speak directly with the receptionist by asking for them by name. By Grade 11, your child may be a seasoned veteran of the rules and routines of their high school. Until then, it helps to be informed and involved.

The Epic Games Store just launched, and it's already getting hit with controversy, but not for an obvious reason. The service only has a few games, and it looks like Epic is banking on competing with Steam by poaching games from the much more ubiquitous distribution service.
You see the real issue here is that the company is guaranteeing exclusivity for games on its platform. It's understandable why Epic want this, because with a more competitive revenue split, they want to try and lock developers into an agreement with Epic, building brand awareness, while also preventing developers from "double-dipping" by also listing games on Steam.
Sadly, it looks like some gamers are getting the short end of the stick with these deals, as several games which recently arrived on the Epic store at the expense of their presence on Steam. One such game, a first-person factory building sim called Satisfactory, has completely removed its Steam presence to launch with Epic, and has sincerely angered their fanbase. Satisfactory's community, particularly on Reddit, reacted poorly given that their expectations of a Steam release would no longer be met. The developer attempted to assuage concern in their responses, but the community remains split.
And it's not just Steam communities being negatively affected here either. Another title, Ashen was previously listed as a PC Play Anywhere title through the Microsoft Game Pass program, but that deal appears to have been shelved, as dates for the game launching have been changed to "Coming Soon". With Ashen's launch yesterday, however, it was revealed that the PC version of Ashen would be exclusive to the Epic Games Store at launch, and that has made some people a little annoyed.
While it is hard to understand just how bad things could get, mostly because there are only a few titles affected by this so far, there's a couple of different ways to think about this whole thing, and how it applies to the future of PC gaming.
We can all agree that while Valve creating the dominant distribution platform is sometime convenient, there are plenty of obvious negatives to such a monopolistic structure in gaming. For one, there's the absolutely crushing number of games on Steam that make it hard for many independent developers to get noticed, meaning lower sales on launch. This can lead to a lot of problems that having more avenues of distribution can help solve. Having more exposure across a new platform where smaller teams get more chance and sales means more unique and interesting games could eventually be made. And I think we can all agree that PC gaming needs less regurgitated AAA nonsense, and more passionate and talented work with new ideas.
The other side of the coin with this issue is that Valve has consistently shown inability or unwillingness to police their own platform when objectively offensive, copyright infringing, or otherwise unacceptable content rears its head. For every creative and interesting title on Steam, there seem to be five crap games cobbled together with minimal effort. In short, Steam is rife with shovelware, and the only way I can see a monolithic entity like Valve changing their ways is through outside pressure from competition forcing them to adapt.
Of course this doesn't mean we should accept predatory exclusivity, but there has to be happy middleground, and the only way we'll ever find it is to allow change and experimentation.

"Snow-White-Fire-Red" is an Italian Fairy Tale, collected by Thomas Crane.
A small prince breaks a pitcher wherein an ogress had carefully caught the last of an oil fountain (built in honor of his birth). She curses him to be unable to marry anyone but Snow-White-Fire-Red.
When he grows up, he remembers this and goes in search of her. He finds a tower, where an ogress arrives and calls Snow-White-Fire-Red to let down her hair. As soon as the ogress leaves, he does the same, and woos the girl. She hides him and when the ogress, whom she calls her mother, returns, asks her how she could escape if she ever wanted to. The ogress, believing her just curious, explains.
The girl enchants all the furniture to answer for her, and she and the prince run off. The ogress keeps calling up the tower and the furniture answers until finally she figures it out and chases after them. The girl throws down the balls of yarn she had taken, each of which transform into an obstacle until the last one drowns the ogress — but not before she curses Snow White Fire Red, to have the prince forget her as soon as his mother kisses him.
The prince goes to fetch proper clothes for her to appear in, his mother kisses him, and Snow-White-Fire-Red had to enchant two doves to go to the prince and jog his memory loose.
This is not a form of "Snow White" (or "Snow-White and Rose-Red", either), of course, but related to "Rapunzel". It appears to be an older form, still more closely related to the fairy tale types "The girl helps the hero flee" (such as "The White Dove") and "the forsaken fiancee" (such as the ending of "The Love of Three Oranges"). While in "Rapunzel" the heroine is kidnapped young, and in "the girl helps the hero flee", the heroine often is actually the witch/ogress/other villain's child, here it is ambiguous. Compare to the Child Ballad "Young Beichan" and "Prunella".
Not to be confused with Pokemon FireRed.
Tropes included
- Curse: Both the ogresses cast them.
- Curse Escape Clause: Finding her for the first curse, and the use of the doves for the second.
- Damsel in Distress: Snow-White-Fire-Red
- Distressed Dude: Cursed to lose his memory
- Evil Tower of Ominousness: Where she is kept
- Geas: The prince is cursed so that he will be unable to marry until he finds the title character. It's not mentioned what will happen if he tries; he just goes looking for her once his parents start talking about him getting married.
- Girl in the Tower: Snow-White-Fire-Red
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Before dying, the ogress casts another curse, so that the prince forgets his bride as soon as his mother kisses him.
- Love at First Sight: She runs off very easily with him.
- Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: In the older, magical form.
- Mage Tower: The ogress has magical abilities.
- Rescue Romance: Rescues from both the tower and the curse.

Circumcision should be a personal decision
By Lady Marmalade, September 29, 2017 —
The reasons parents decide to circumcise a newborn baby can vary — it could be based on religion, ideas about cleanliness, health or maybe just what other penises in the family look like. Canadian doctors no longer recommend parents circumcise all male babies and they're right to. Infants are unable to consent to the procedure before it is conducted. Whether or not you're circumcised, here are some tips to help people with penises take care of them.
Many people think that the removal of foreskin allows for better cleaning of the penis, but the reality is that if you don't know how to clean your penis, there will be issues regardless of how the end looks. If you've been circumcised, use warm water to clean yourself. If you haven't, pull your foreskin back and do the same. Take care of your body regardless of its configuration.
Some other claims about circumcision surround how sexually transmitted infections are spread. Your ability to become infected doesn't change whether you do or do not have foreskin. Use common sense and know that the easiest way to prevent STIs is to use a condom or abstain.
Circumcision is a tricky topic. Religious and cultural practices play a role in people's decisions. But the rate of circumcision is declining, dropping to 32 per cent in 2015. The Canadian Paediatric Society stopped recommending circumcising all male babies in 1996, now encouraging parents to allow their children to come to the decision on their own. This is important because it shows that the idea of consent is necessary for discussions of health care. This means individuals can have discussions with their doctor instead of undergoing the procedure before they can even remember it. Parents should be able to openly talk to their children about their biology and this conversation should not be taboo.
No matter how your penis looks, don't be ashamed of your body. Never be pressured to change because of what others think. This applies to more than just some extra skin on the tip of your penis. The bottom line is, take care of your body. No matter how it looks, being clean and healthy should always be a priority, not just for partners but also for yourself. Don't let aesthetical preferences influence medical decisions. If you don't like having foreskin and wish to have it removed — go to town. Always be safe.

I'd like to color the messages in my *mu4e-headers*
view, depending on which mailing list they come from. I'm rather new to emacs face alterations, and I didn't see anything that looked relevant for this. Are there programmatic hooks for defining a per-line face?
Example: If an email is in my INBOX/ML folder, I'd like it green. If it's just in my INBOX, I'd like it blue.

Economic Development Manager Jim Thares presented the annual Economic Development department update.
"The 2020-2021 workplans included six components: downtown redevelopment was the top goal or priority for the EDA. Promoting industrial and commercial development was the second priority, housing development was third. The IEDC's priorities were labor force development and business retention and expansion. In 2020 the CARES Act came to the city and money was provided to the EDA and that's where the COVID-19 emergency response efforts were established," said Thares.
He then elaborated further explaining that Block 52 was the top priority of the Downtown Redevelopment work plan as well as the Façade Improvement Program. One highlight was that the façade improvements to the Agosto building were completed in late 2020, with three new applications submitted this spring/summer, all of which are on Block 35.
According to Thares, there were 38 EDA CARES Act grants approved for $5,000 each. Eight additional City CARES Act grants were also approved for restaurants and microbreweries in the community.
Riverfest 2021 was a huge success according to Riverfest City Liaison Tom Pawelk.
"Overall, it was a good turnout. Second highest gross sales that the Riverfest committee has ever seen, so that's pretty good. Record beer sales… and duck adoptions were basically sold out, so that's 5,000 ducks sold," said Pawelk.
The first night [Thursday] kicked off at Pioneer Park, with a Monticello firefighter showing up strong for a second year in a row and winning the pie eating contest. Mayor Hilgart teased that may only be because he's "not invited back" to the pie eating contest after winning twice.
"Friday night, the talent show had 22 acts and we followed it up with a wonderful fireworks display, sponsored by the City of Monticello. The Lions Bean Bag tournament on Saturday had 49 entries," said Pawelk.
Pawelk added that while Sunday's parade was shorter than past years, with no royalty candidates or visiting royalty; the shorter parade might have been preferable given the heat. He joked that the kids didn't seem to mind because they still got plenty of candy.
City of Monticello is now offering online building permits for permits that do not require a plan review. Visit our website to check it out!
Citizens are welcome to attend City Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Authority meetings, but we understand that attending in person is not always an option. As an alternative, we offer the following options to stay engaged with your local government:

What: Monticello, Let's Chalk! Watch artists turn the streets of Monticello into art. The event will feature street art, entertainment, food, and fun for the whole family!
When: Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23 - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Downtown Monticello, Walnut Street & 3rd Street
Monticello, MN – Let's Chalk is a brand-new two-day street art festival with entertainment, food, and family fun. This free event will feature bright, bold, and even 3D art from professionals, amateurs, and enthusiasts from across the globe. Join us on Saturday and Sunday to watch the masterpieces take shape in the heart of downtown Monticello.
Recent revitalization projects focused on creating spaces for people to gather, and the City's investment in a local arts program unleashed creative energy across the core of the community. Building on the addition of murals, sculptures, community art builds, and local art shows, this year the City of Monticello invited famed artist Shawn McCann to organize Let's Chalk – a fall festival turning our downtown roadways into canvasses of art.
McCann is the co-founder of Chalkfest at Arbor Lakes, a festival drawing annual attendance of 40,000 people, and has founded 6 other street art festivals in the Midwest. He's been part of festivals around the world and is bringing together more than a dozen fellow artists for the event. Included in the line-up is Nate Baranowski, one of the top 3D artists in the world. In addition to offering a chance for the public to watch these incredible professionals create in their city, Let's Chalk will also give local amateurs the opportunity to work alongside and learn from those with more experience in the art form. We still have a few spots available for amateur artists! Amateurs will be able to hone their craft while getting real time experience with the pros! If you're interested in participating as an amateur artist, please email email@example.com.
Along with seeing the chalk art come to life, festival participants will be able to enjoy food and beverages from local businesses and organizations, listen to local musicians, and explore the art installations throughout the downtown. There will also be family-friendly activities, including chalk fun for kids to draw their own masterpieces.
The City of Monticello is incredibly grateful for the contributions from local business sponsors who made this event possible. With their generous donations, the City can bring the community together without using public funds for the event. Thank you for investing in the power of art for our community!

As Christmas approaches, and you start soaking up the joyful atmosphere wherever you go, bakeries keep the standard high by taking delicious Spanish Christmas Sweets out of the oven.
Whether it's the first time you visit Andalucia, or you're a regular visitor to the region, especially during Christmas, be ready to have your mouth water! Take a look at the most delicious and famous Spanish Christmas Sweets!
1. Roscón de Reyes
This ring-shaped cake, also known as King Cake or Three Kings' Cake, is arguably Spain's most famous Christmas sweet. It owes its name to the Three Kings' Day (January 6th), the day when people are used to eating it.
Made with wheat flour, milk and eggs, and spread with caramel-coated fruits, it can be filled with cream, chocolate cream, chocolate truffle cream, whipped cream and caramel. It comes with a broad bean and a small figurine inside: the one that finds the broad bean has to pay for a second Roscón de Reyes, whereas who finds the figurine is crowned the Roscon's king.
2. Turrón
Another Spanish Christmas sweet you will find throughout Andalucia is the delicious nougat, whose main ingredients are peeled roasted almonds and honey. The Turrón can be hard (the Alicante version) or soft (the Jijona version), and there exist varieties such as chocolate nougat, white-chocolate nougat, coconut and so on.
Its origins are uncertain, although history has proved that the Arabs were used to putting almonds and honey in their sweets. Barcelona and Alicante have claimed the creation of the Turrón to be their own; wherever the truth may lie, what's sure is that countless Spanish factories look forward to Christmas (and the previous months, too) to sell this well-known sweet throughout Europe.
3. Mantecados
The Mantecado is one of Andalucia's most typical Christmas sweets, which first appeared in the bakeries of Antequera, as some say, or Estepa (Seville province), as others state. Its curious origins are related to the excess of cereals and piglet lard during the 16th century.
The Mantecado (from "manteca", which in Spanish means "lard") are made of wheat flour, lard, sugar and egg white. They are later flavoured with either cinnamon, almond, chocolate or lemon, among others. This square-shaped sweet is also widespread throughout the year, although it's during Christmas when the selling peaks.
4. Polvorones
A variety of the Mantecado is the round-shaped Polvorón, which, however, has much more flour, it lacks egg white, and it always has almonds inside, in contrast with the Mantecado. Unsurprisingly, its name comes from the excess of flour, which make it seem like it's covered in dust (i.e. "polvo" is the Spanish word for powder). The Polvorones are eaten only during Christmas time, they are wrapped up in colourful paper, and they usually crumble apart when opened.
5. Alfajores
Almonds are also present in this Andalusian Christmas sweet, as well as walnuts and honey, to form a compact sweet, which can also be stuffed with honey dough. The origins of the Alfajor date back to Ál-Andalus, when Arabs used to rule a significant part of Spain.
Its name comes from al-hasú, which means "the stuffing". Among the most popular versions of the Alfajor, there is the Alfajor de Medina Sidonia, in Cadiz, which is made with honey, almonds, walnuts, flour, breadcrumbs and spices. It's sold in single pieces that can weigh up to 500gr.
6. Roscos de vino
The wine these sweets owe their name to is the Moscatel, a sweet wine typical of Malaga. Those from Monda, in the Sierra de las Nieves, are the most famous variety, and they are made with wheat flour, lard, almonds, cinnamon, sesame, anise and clove.
7. Hojaldrinas
With a similar texture as the mantecados and polvorones, the name of the hojaldrinas come from the layers of puff pastry (hojaldre) that are put inside the sweet. The white wine and the orange juice added to the dough make the hojaldrinas one of the most mouth-watering Christmas sweets.
8. Pestiños
These sweets are typical of all the religious celebrations in Andalucia. Although they are mostly made during the Holy Week, you can find them also when Christmas is getting nearer. They are made of wheat flour, fried in oil and covered in honey or sugar. They have a characteristic shape, which makes them easily recognisable: a square with two opposite corners bent one onto the other.
9. Borrachuelo
With the same dough as the pestiño, this sweet is filled with Cabello de Ángel (angel's hair), a Siam pumpkin jam typical of Cordoba. The borrachuelo is typical of Malaga, and it can be divided into two groups: that which is covered in sugar and that covered in honey. Other mandatory ingredients of the borrachuelo are the white and sweet wine, and the anisette, after which this sweet is named (borracho means "drunk" in Spanish).
10. Pan de Cadiz
A variety of the marzipan is, this almond-sugar-egg sweet, stuffed with sugar-coated fruits. In Cadiz, it's also known as "Turrón de Cádiz". The version known nowadays is relatively recent, for it was invented in the 50s by Antonio Valls Garrido, a pastry chef from Cadiz.
11. Turrolate
The Turrolate is typical of the region of the Subbeticas in Cordoba. Its origins are a point of contention between the town of Rute and that of Priego de Córdoba, although most people tend to recognise the latter as the birthplace of the Turrolate. This Christmas sweet is a mix of turrón and chocolate, as its name suggests, and it's made of cocoa, almonds or peanuts, sugar and cinnamon. It's sold in long bars that are later split into shorter pieces. Fun fact: the turrolate was usually given to the new mothers, for which has converted into a symbol of good news.
12. Almendras rellenas
What are called "stuffed almonds" are actually wafers stuffed with dough made of roasted almonds and hazelnuts, chocolate and powdered sugar. They are widely spread during Christmas among kids and non, since one leads to another, and no one can possibly stop eating them after the first try.
13. Bolitas de coco
And if you're affectionate to the idea of "one thing leads to another", these coconut small-balls will gladden the whole family. They're made of coconut crumbs, condensed milk, chocolate and margarine, and come in round shape. There are varieties spread all over Spain, which include ingredients such as orange, carrot and cookies. To choose your favourite one, you will have to try them all.
14. Bonus: chocolate Nativity Scene in Rute
Chocolate must be present throughout Christmas time. However, there is one town in Cordoba province where you must go if chocolate is your religion! This is Rute, a 10,000-inhabitant town proudly shows off its chocolate Nativity Scene, with an actual-size representation of important Spanish people.
You can have a look at Galleros Artesanos in Rute, from 10 am to 2 pm, and from 4 pm to 8 pm (closed on December 25th and January 1st). From November 17th to December 17th, the ticket costs €1; however, if you buy something from the factory, you will be refunded the cost of the ticket.

What is the Average Payout for the 3M Earplug Lawsuit?
3M is facing more than 229,000 lawsuits alleging hearing loss and tinnitus due to defects in 3M's Combat Arms earplugs, which were issued to over 2.2 million service men and women. If you've been injured potentially due to defective Combat Arms earplugs, you may be wondering, "What is the average payout I can expect from the 3M earplug lawsuit?"
While there are never any guarantees and every case is different, in this article we'll dive into potential 3M earplug compensation and preview the types of 3M earplug payouts that legal analysts anticipate may result from the 3M earplug lawsuits.
JANUARY 2022 UPDATE: Due to fast-moving developments in this litigation, Riddle & Brantley can no longer accept additional 3M earplug claims. We anticipate that a global settlement may be on the horizon — please stay tuned to our website for the latest updates as more information becomes available.
IMPORTANT: If you've suffered hearing loss or tinnitus after using 3M Combat Arms earplugs while serving in active duty between 20003 and 2015, call Riddle & Brantley today at 1-800-525-7111 for a FREE, no-obligation consultation with one of our experienced 3M earplug lawsuit lawyers. There are no attorney fees unless we win your case and you receive compensation.
What Kind of Compensation Can You Expect from the 3M Earplug Lawsuit?
If you served in the U.S. military and have now suffered hearing damage after wearing 3M earplugs, you may be entitled to compensation in a 3M earplug lawsuit.
3M earplug payouts are not guaranteed, and individual settlements will depend on the unique facts and circumstances of each case. In the case of a "global" 3M earplug settlements, claims will be divided into "tiers" based on the severity of injury and the significance of the claim.
3M Earplug Average Payouts
If 3M lawsuits result in a settlement (and there are no guarantees), the average payout for a 3M earplug claim will depend on a variety of factors such as:
- The total final settlement amount
- The severity of your injuries
- The amount of proven damages you personally incurred
Payouts in Similar Product Liability Cases
While there are no guarantees and we cannot be certain that 3M earplug lawsuits will result in settlements, to get an idea of the kind of settlements we might reasonably anticipate, we can look at some examples of similar product liability and dangerous drug cases and their settlements.
In a similar product liability mass tort action concerning allegations that Roundup caused non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other cancer, a global Roundup settlement was reached in mid-2020, totaling roughly $10 billion. While individual payouts are not guaranteed and may vary widely, the New York Times reported that plaintiffs might expect between $5,000 and $250,000, depending on the specific facts and circumstances of their case.
Talcum Powder
While there has not been a global settlement of thousands of talcum powder lawsuits alleging Johnson & Johnson talc-based baby powder caused cancer, individual cases have resulted in multi-million dollar jury awards. It is unlikely in a case involving as many plaintiffs as in 3M litigation — and lesser injuries compared to life-threatening and even deadly cancer — that verdicts or settlements will result in comparable compensation, but talcum powder lawsuits reveal just how seriously judges and juries are taking defective product claims.
If you believe you may qualify for a 3M earplug lawsuit and need assistance filing a 3M earplug claim, call 1-800-525-7111 today.
We will review your claim and advise you on your best legal options. If you meet the criteria, our product liability lawyers can assist you in filing a 3M earplug lawsuit.
"How do I qualify for a 3M earplug lawsuit?"
JANUARY 2022 UPDATE: Due to fast-moving developments in this litigation, Riddle & Brantley can no longer accept additional 3M earplug claims. We anticipate that a global settlement may be on the horizon — please stay tuned to our website for the latest updates as more information becomes available.
To qualify for a 3M earplug claim, you must:
- Have served in the U.S. military between 2003 and 2015
- Have served in active combat
- Have used the 3M Combat Arms earplugs
- Have suffered significant hearing loss or tinnitus
- Have been diagnosed within 2 years of discharge
- Have been honorably discharged
If you meet these qualifications, call us today at 1-800-525-7111 for a FREE, no-obligation consultation on your case to see if you are entitled to compensation.
"Why is there a 3M earplug lawsuit?"
In 2016, a rival earplug manufacturer, Molden-Metric, filed a whistleblower suit alleging that 3M and the original manufacturer of Combat Arms earplugs, Aearo Technologies, knew that there was a design flaw in their earplugs that could cause hearing damage in the wearer if worn incorrectly.
These earplugs allegedly have a design flaw that causes them to loosen without the wearer noticing and allow damaging loud sounds in (for example, explosions and gunshots). This can cause severe hearing damage in the wearer and result in long-term hearing problems such as tinnitus.
In 2018, 3M settled this lawsuit with the Department of Justice for $9.1 million, but did not admit any fault or liability in the damage done to service members hearing.
Now, the service members who have suffered hearing loss during their time in the U.S. military have filed thousands of 3M lawsuits to attempt to collect damages from 3M for its alleged negligence in distributing faulty earplugs.
"Trials have begun and now is the time to have your 3M earplug claim investigated. We would love to help you if we can."
–Gene Riddle, attorney and founding partner, Riddle & Brantleyf

You'll have a lot more calls after you've written these five points. It's not hard to get them, but it does take some work! You need to:
How to Get More Calls for your Siding Leads Company
* Find the right words for your ads and landing pages;
* Optimize those same ads with keywords that are related to what people search for;
* Ensure lead capture forms are set up correctly on every page — and test different types of form fields (and use video);
* Differentiate yourself from competitors by showing off customer testimonials or case studies where they're available; and finally,
* Create content about siding projects as well so potential customers can see how much fun you had doing the job. That way when they call you out of the blue, you'll already be a familiar face!
Another Tip :
* Remember to test what prospects want and need. For example, if you offer siding installation services only, it may be helpful to add a page about how they can purchase the materials needed for their project that are available in your area so they don't have to spend time or money sourcing them elsewhere.

2019 Winner
Wise 50 Over 50 Award™
Lu Baker-Johnson – Lumel Studios Ltd.
Before building Lumel Studios I was many things. Initially I was a teacher, then as my six children came along, I discovered that a carpenter's belt fits very nicely under a pregnancy belly and over the next 35 years I gutted and fixed older homes and built our family homes. I was also a student, spending 13 years in post secondary education
In 2016 Lumel Studios opened its doors in Whitehorse, Yukon – I was 56 years old. The Lumel journey began ten years earlier with the death of my daughter, Rondi, at the age of 19 from leukemia. A year after her death I enrolled at Alberta University of the Arts (AUARTS). Entering art school provided an opportunity to channel my grief into something tangibly good and provided opportunities to begin to laugh again. I went to AUARTS to draw and paint but was drawn to hot glass. I loved the challenge of working with 1200°C molten glass. By the second year of a 4-year degree program I planned to build a glass blowing studio in my hometown of Whitehorse, Yukon.
Dreams are easy to envision, but harder to implement.
It took four years of struggle, perseverance, and long conversations with safety authorities to build Lumel Studios. It also took personal financial commitment. It was a situation of jumping into the deep end, but the life jacket was the knowledge that hot glass is a powerful and appealing medium.
I designed the studio, managed the build and worked side-by-side with the building crew. The building crew was an interesting mix: one certified carpenter/dog musher, 4 glass blowers (myself and 3 of my fellow AUARTS alumni), 3 summer students, a nurse, an Australian tourist, a hitchhiker from Quebec and 2 local Indigenous youth. A diversified crew that built an amazing studio.
My dream to build a glass blowing studio in downtown Whitehorse included a multi-pronged business approach with the gallery being on par with community workshop opportunities, social programing and a happiness-for-all ideology. I pay 'a living wage' to all Lumel staff. The original philosophy was that wages should not build with the success of the business but be commensurate with the education and experience levels and to be a motivating factor towards the success of the studio – all must work together to support a 'living wage' infrastructure.
At Lumel Studios working with molten glass, hotter than volcanic lava, is accessible to everyone between the ages of 5 to 100 including street people, disenfranchised youth, and people with Alzheimers and dementia. In relation to our street people and elder programing we have a saying, "Giving people back the dignity of risk," each creating within their ability, paying (or not paying) within their economic means. Lumel also offers AUARTS alumni programs, student work experience initiatives and awards, and visiting artist opportunities (embracing AUARTS instructors and international artists).
All of these operational processes work together to create a strong and economically viable business – we are building community as we 'build' Lumel Studios.

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal office, has secured the conviction of one Abass Mohammed and a Bureau De Change, (BDC) operator, Ibrahim Saidu Jogal, who connived to hack into the Flexcube database of Union Bank and defrauded the bank of N2,550,000,000.
The commission received a petition alleging that fraudsters had hacked into the bank's database and diverted the sum of N2,550,000,000.
Investigation into the petition revealed that the said money was fraudulently credited into the accounts of mostly BDC operators, including one Jaxmine BDC, Gona BDC and Great Well Communication.
It was further revealed that Mohammed sourced for the account details of Jaxmine BDC from one of his friends, Lawal Ubah, who was a signatory to the account, and subsequently gave the details to one Salisu Liman (aka Zico), the ring leader of the syndicate. The sum of N450 million was then credited into the account.
Subsequently, the sum of N79 million was transferred from the account of Jaxmine BDC into the account of Digare BDC owned by Jogal for the purpose of buying $500,000. Further investigations revealed that Jogal only paid $80,000 to Mohammed and kept the balance of $420,000.
Jogal, investigations also revealed, said that he got information that the money was not genuine but fraudulent, thereby prompting Mohammed to open up to him that the money was stolen.
They were arraigned before Justice K. A. Jose of the State High Court sitting in Igbosere, Lagos on three-count charges bordering on conspiracy, retention and use of proceeds of criminal conduct contrary to Section 331(1)(b) of the Criminal Laws No. 11, Vol 44 of Lagos State 2011.
They pleaded "not guilty" to the charges, paving the way for the commencement of their trial.
In proving its case against them, the EFCC presented three witnesses – Vincent Agwu, a Union Bank official, and two investigators, Joseph Nkeson and Aliyu Abubakar. Several documents were also tendered in court by the prosecution.
Delivering judgment, Justice Jose found the defendants guilty on counts two and three, and discharged them on count one, which bordered on conspiracy to defraud.
Mohammed was sentenced to a term of one year in prison.

There's frenzy in deal making throughout the healthcare industry, as businesses look to strengthen current companies and diversify. In 2014 alone over $153 billion have been totaled in the industry, the highest year-to-date since the tracking of such data existed.
Moody's, whose CEO recently shared their first quarter earnings, predicts that the trading whirlwind in the healthcare system will continue through the year. Major deals currently moving involve the attempted possession of Allergan (maker of Botox) by Valeant Pharmaceuticals, while at the same time Allergan is rumored to be looking to acquire Shire Plc. In addition, consolidation trades for Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline are also taking place.
With generic drug makers looking to build scale and diversify, the activity of trading will remain high; companies who make branded drugs will look to purchase those with high-potential. According to Reuters, the credit ratings agency also said that we'll likely see more divestment "as drugmakers shake up their portfolios to weed out or beef up businesses that lack critical mass."
The animal health division of Novartis was sold to Eli Lily and Co. and Merck & Co is looking to close on selling its consumer healthcare unit for $14 billion. Moody's added that that the aspiration of lower taxes is motivating such deals, and it could be of a benefit for ratings of corporate debt when paired with high use of equity funding.
One of the largest potential takeovers is worth $100 billion, with Pfizer Inc. approaching AstraZeneca Plc in Britain, which could greatly benefit from the lower tax rate if the deal were to go through.
