"I know that our bodies were made only to thrive in pure air, " stated John Muir, the famous American naturalist over a century ago. Though great advances in transportation, communication, and science has changed the world much since he made this observation, the need for pure air has not changed.
Health Benefits of Air Purifiers
The average person breathes in 2000-3000 gallons of air daily, which fuels every system in the body. Just as an automobile benefits from its built in system of air filters that enable it to run efficiently, so too the human body benefits with the help of a system to provide clean air such as an air purifier.
First, air purifiers remove allergens from the air. Some experts estimate that almost 25% of people suffer from certain respiratory allergies caused by airborne agents like pollen, dust, and mold. While many of these allergies only cause discomfort and mild irrigation, the number of life-threatening reactions have increased greatly in recent years. For example, the CDC reported that there were 3630 deaths due to asthma in 2013.
A second benefit of air purifiers reduction of respiratory illnesses. Experts estimate that over 6 million work and school days are lost each year due to allergies, and $17.5 billion is spent on allergy medicine. Yet, when a person uses a air purifier in the home consistently, it can remove dust, smoke, allergens, and viruses that are the root cause of such costs.
Finally, air purifiers reduce the cleaning costs of the normal household. In 1970 Americans spent $45 million on furniture polish. When operated regularly, a purifier removes dust from the home's inner atmosphere, reducing the need to clean furniture and woodwork as often. Also, since purifiers serve to remove odors from the air, carpets, furniture, and draperies remain odor free and the homeowner can avoid costly steam cleaning.
Important Air Purifier Features
Two important features of air purifiers are the type of filtration system and the air moving capacity. There are five main types of methods purifiers use to clean the air: mechanical, UV light, ionization, electrostatic systems, and hybrid systems.
A second aspect is a purifier's air moving capacity. Purifiers are rated by two measurements for this feature: air change rate per hour (ACH) and clean air delivery rate(CADR). ACH measures how many times the purifier cleans the room's air in one hour. CADR measures how much cubit feet of air the purifier can clean in a minute in the area of pollen, dust, and smoke.
A third important feature to consider is the noise produced by the purifier. Noise from air movement, fan operation and motor vibration varies greatly from model to model. Generally, the more expensive purifiers operate quieter than lower priced models.
A final useful accessory is a filter alert. While this is not included on some purifiers, better models include an automatic sensor and notification system such as a light that alerts the owner when the filter needs to be replaced.

Well today was the day, yes Stewie and Dumpling are 6 months old and one of the things I do love about having dogs, is letting them have a good run around without you have to wear yourself out.
Unfortunately, due to Bo's breed (god rest his soul), you were very hesitant about letting him go because if he saw anything he wouldn't come back to you, no matter how long and hard you tried to get his attention.
But now being the owners of two Golden Retrievers we both know they are going to need a hell of a lot of exercise and the best way to exercise a dog is for you to stroll and throw a stick or ball and letting them run around like crazy.
Less tiring on you and it wears them out completely… well for a few minutes. Then they will replenish their energy and look for something else to do…
Hubby hates this part of training.. he always has a fear that they are going to run off and never come back. Me, well I know for a fact that if they run off, just keep calling their names and they will come to you, oh and to have plenty of goodies in your pocket as a reward for them returning. Stewie and Dumpling are very good for coming to their names, when called. So I was less apprehensive about this morning's trip.
So up at the crack of dawn for both of us. Whilst I was coming out of my night-time coma with numerous cups of coffee, hubby was out moving the internet cable, up higher.. Oh yes they had that off the wall yesterday.. Thank god they didn't manage to bite through it. Out of reach now.. so internet is fine.
Cable done and with wife now out of coma, hubby loads two retrievers into car along with me and off we go. I thought at one point he was going to say, they weren't old enough to be let loose, but anyway off to Shorne Country Park we went and we leash walked them into the area where dogs can run free. With Schmackos and Markies in hand, a quick drop of the leads.. that was it they were off. Hubby went as white as a ghost and I thought he was going to faint but with a call of "Stewie, Dumpling" and a Schmacko being waved in the air back they run… you can see who was first in the queue for the Schmacko from the photo above … yes my little girl.
With a Schmacko and a praise off they went again the other direction.. the only niggling fear I was a little anxious about was that one would run one way and one the other.. but no.. they both went off chasing each other. And like good boys and girls they returned to their names and were promptly rewarded.
And the most important thing of all is, they loved it too. They loved being able to run and run and as you can see from the photo on the right, they were slowing down in the end… Gradually hubby was getting less fretful that they wouldn't return. And you could see they were tiring with every run back for a treat..
Well mission accomplished, we went out with two Golden Retrievers and we returned with two Golden Retrievers, let us hope the weather is OK next week and they will be set free again.
And now dogs are flaked out on the floor knocking out the zzz's whilst the other half is relaxed in his recliner, watching the bike racing through closed eyelids.

" A slang term for people of Russian decent that immigrated too Canada during the turn of the century. they were simple farmers that opposed material wealth.
Dukabours had to produce their own food. They planted gardens and picked wild berries. Fruits and vegetables were preserved by pickling or drying. Jams and jellies were made. Food was stored in a root cellar. Fruits and vegetables were also sold to the general store in exchange for other goods.

...does it seem to be too much to have 75 - 100 different companies? Are there that many different solid dividend paying stocks?Right now I have a small Roth account from which I am trying to garner some experience in managing my own portfolio. From what I have experienced, it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect an overall annual dividend of 3%...It's terrific that you are thinking long-term. But, if I may, it sounds like you're fairly new to this stuff. Short answer is: unless you want to spend a lot of your time researching individual stocks, you can accomplish what you want with a handful of ETFs (and also save on transaction costs). Also, you should certainly be able to do better than 3%. In "normal" times, even CDs pay more than that. We are not in normal times now; eventually, things will become more "normal."And if for no other reason than to protect yourself from large equity swings (after all, some folks lost almost everything a few years ago), you'll want to have at least some portion of your money in bonds. That can also be accomplished with some ETFs if you don't want to spend a lot of time on homework.Vanguard is a good place to look. But there are other places, too.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Authorities say 26-year-old Katherine Windels sent disturbing emails to 16 Republican senators, repeatedly threatening to kill them.
Windels, of Cross Plains, faces four charges including using a computer to send a threat and creating a bomb scare.
Two of the counts are felonies, two are misdemeanors. The criminal complaint says the emails were sent on March 9, the same day senate Republicans passed the revised budget repair bill with no Democrats present.
According to the complaint, Windels told the senators "you will be killed and your families [sic] will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks." She threatened to "put a nice little bullet in your head," and made reference to several bombs.
Investigators visited Windels at her home the next day. According to the complaint, she told them she had sent the emails, and did so because she was very angry about what the senators had done. She also said she didn't intend to carry out the threats, and was not arrested.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne filed the charges Thursday. He says "it's odd" law enforcement never took Windels into custody.
"The reality is, the person was not placed into custody, so at some point, law enforcement didn't see the person as an imminent threat," Ozanne said. "It's not that the case was not serious or taken seriously by law enforcement or by this office."
This morning, the Justice Department sent a letter to the media, saying it was concerned about the "lack of action" on the case by the D.A.'s office. The Justice Department had referred the case to Ozanne two weeks prior.
Ozanne says his office filed charges in an appropriate amount of time.
"The file was reviewed as quickly as possible," he said.
He declined to comment on whether the letter could be the result of mounting tensions between his office, and the Justice Department. The two are pitted against each other in the lawsuit against the Governor's budget repair bill.
Windels is not in custody. The D.A.'s office says she won't be arrested.
The district attorney's office said Friday morning, the 26-year-old will now make her initial appearance Thursday, April 21.
If convicted on all counts, she could face up to seven years, six months in prison.
MADISON (WKOW) -- The Dane County District Attorney has filed charges in connection with threats against state lawmakers.
Katherine Windels, of Cross Plains, 26, faces four counts including a computer message threat and bomb scare.
Two are felony and two are misdemeanor charges.
The threats, made against Republican state senators and possibly others according to authorities, led to tighter capitol security earlier this month, when thousands protested the passage of collective bargaining limits and demanded more access to the building.

Bray: Inner cities return with new vitality
About a decade ago, an international project organized by the Regional Plan Association in the New York City area and the Politecnico of Milan on "Transforming the Places of Production" focused on places like the deteriorating Harmony Mills in Cohoes, once the largest cotton mill in the United States.
Teams of architects, economic development experts, preservationists and other professionals from Milan and the Capital Region studied Harmony Mills to determine if it could be restored for economic use.
At first, members of the local team had no idea what to propose. A local architect said perhaps we should go look at MASS MoCA, the contemporary arts center housed in a former electrical components factory in North Adams, Mass.
Mike Fancher, from the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany, said he would be happy to talk with the international team if I brought them to the nanoscience complex. As we walked into the auditorium there, I overheard a couple of chamber of commerce staff who had been invited.
One said, "Why are we here? Those old industrial cities along the Hudson River are never going to attract tech-development. Tech-development only happens on green fields."
Fancher gave a talk about the production possibilities that Harmony Mills offered with its grand space. He said manufacturers will be using nanotech research from this area for new products. Manufacturers could box off mill space for pre- and postproduction of new products. Manufacturing that's close to researchers — like General Electric is in Schenectady, with its research labs in Niskayuna — is productive.
The team was excited about the prospects Fancher presented. Redevelopment of Harmony Mills was recommended. The Italians also loved the architecture, heritage and Mohawk River setting.
Compare the 440-acre green field Vista Technology Campus in Bethlehem with Harmony Mills and prospects for historic inner cities of Albany, Troy, Cohoes and Watervliet. Progress is coming to the inner cities. Today, the Vista Tech Campus has uses like a supermarket, bank, and medical office. Harmony Mills Fallsview Lofts has more than 300 high-end apartments. Cohoes leaders are orchestrating a renaissance in its downtown. Ed Tremblay, Cohoes economic development director, calls his city "an incubator for innovation and new businesses."
Troy's new CityStation has recently filled its eight retail spots. All units of off-campus housing for RPI graduate students have been filled, too. Another phase of construction is going to add 157 units of housing.
The Watervliet Arsenal, meanwhile, celebrates its 200th anniversary this year. Along with military production and research, the arsenal has private high-tech companies like Vistec Lithography and M + W U.S. Inc., a worldwide leader in architecture, engineering and construction of advanced facilities.
Albany's Arbor Hill and South End have the furthest to go to catch this tech stimulated wave but the Albany Housing Authority is set to break ground for a campus center in the South End. There has already been $50 million invested in South End housing in the past 10 years. Now the goals are mixed-income housing, a supermarket, siting of new businesses and engaging UAlbany and other colleges for tech education.
Alain Kaloyeros, head of the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, told Trinity Institute's Harris Oberlander that he is committed to further improvements in Arbor Hill and the South End. When I first met Kaloyeros in the mid-1990s, he didn't have a stick in the ground for what has become the multibillion dollar nanotechnology complex. He said that his research would help monitor and protect the state's ground water quality. Now he talks about the 3,100 companies across the state tapping into the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering's research, Albany as a "smart city" and Trinity and Girls Inc. as partners.
Robert Jones, the new UAlbany president, is nationally known for his leadership in developing urban-focused engagement by the University of Minnesota. He wants to do the same thing here.
While the suburbs stay suburbs, creativity, innovation, partnerships and development are happening in the once-forlorn cities.

This second volume in the 'Many Peaces' series analyses the emergence of elicitive conflict transformation, demonstrating how the principles of peace and conflict work are interrelated with humanistic psychological insights and methods. This volume discusses the recent changes of working conditions in the fields of diplomacy, military, development cooperation and political economy, exploring how this 'trans-rational' turn impacts practical peace and conflict work and experiential peace education. Based on the principles of humanistic psychology and Yoga philosophy, and as a wider concept of John Paul Lederach's well-known conflict pyramid, this book introduces a wide range of breath-oriented, voice-oriented and movement-oriented methods and their application in practical fieldwork. Dietrich's study presents a new model of themes, levels and layers in conflict analysis, which adds to the conventional understanding of human relations and conflicts. Other books in the 'Many Peaces' series include Interpretations of Peace in History and Culture by Wolfgang Dietrich.Sufis, the transition from sound to mantra to the word, and on to music, poetry, and science is a seamless one.107 This is expressed by the Turkish word nefes, which literally ... All cells of the human body vibrate, thus it follows from the law of resonance that people respond to acoustic vibrations. ... As a contact boundary at work, every human being is a resonating body of sound with harmonic proportions.

We gotta hand it to Gwyneth Paltrow — she did her divorce right
Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are legally dunzo — the couple has finalized their divorce settlement.
After a year-long separation, Paltrow and Martin have finalized their divorce and agreed to a financial settlement with both waiving their right to spousal support.
More: Does Gwyneth Paltrow regret consciously uncoupling from Chris Martin?
Twelve years after they first wed in a private civil ceremony in the U.K., the couple seems almost closer than they were during their marriage. They spend nights at each other's homes while spending time with their two children and frequently vacation together.
"And isn't that the ideal?" she told Glamour in February. "Well, the ideal is to stay married. But if you can't stay married, wouldn't the ideal be that you could still be a family and you could put aside your own stuff long enough to explore — what is this new family and who am I in it? And Chris is a great ex-husband 'cause he's a very, very willing partner in how to do that. We're constantly putting aside our own stuff and trying to reimagine something that we don't personally have an example for.
"We're not living together, but he's more than welcome to be with us whenever he wants. And vice versa: I sleep in his house in Malibu a lot with the kids. We'll have a weekend all together; holidays, we're together," she continued. "We're still very much a family, even though we don't have a romantic relationship. He's like my brother."
Since their split, Paltrow has moved on with director and producer Brad Falchuk, and Martin has been tied to British actress Annabelle Wallis and Jennifer Lawrence.
More: Gwyneth Paltrow reveals how painful unequal pay is in Hollywood
Interestingly, the finalization comes after Martin was deemed unresponsive to Paltrow's divorce petition. According to TMZ, this was actually a calculated move to avoid press attention every time a new piece of paperwork was filed.

And after that, I will only have one more semester left of my undergraduate degree. Can someone find me a decent job please? Thanks!
2. Can I have the life of [one of my] dogs? They have it so rough. People making you every meal, cleaning up after you, sleeping all day, and then playing at your leisure! Life's rough 🙂
The red eye remover didn't work so well….
3. Gold nails. Love or hate them? I am torn on this color. I usually go for the unusual colors, but I am not so sure this one is working for me. Thoughts?
4. Today is the first day I have been able to wear boots this season. Exciting stuff! We are supposed to get a major rain storm tonight, so everyone and their brother are in panic mode. We'll be okay. I promise. Well, hopefully.
5. Crows. I am not fond of crows. There are a lot of crows
this time of year ALL.THE.TIME!
My mind is all over the place. Currently, I am repeating economics graphs in my head trying to make some sense of them.
Have a good weekend. Christmas is officially two weeks away! Where has the time gone?
Any plans for the weekend?
What's the weather like where you live?

A classic black pair of elegant sunglasses can become a timeless edition to your wardrobe. There's something about a sleek shift dress and a dark pair of sunnies that makes you feel like you could take on the world. These Prada beauties make me feel like a million dollars and I know I'll treasure them for years to come - they simply won't ever go out of style. I love the delicate 'cats eye' frame and the fact they don't scream designer, as well as how they make any basic outfit instantly feel glamorous. Originally I was going for a brown version of these glasses with tortoiseshell arms, but I was talked into replacing them with this simple black design which will keep me looking glam for years to come. Although these set me back €210.00 (about £174.00,) I know that I won't spend that amount on ten pairs of sunglasses that I'll break or chuck away after a single season. Sometimes it's worth spending the money you've worked hard for on something you'll be able to take pleasure in for years to come.
My Prada sunglasses cost me €210.00 from a Parisian department store, but you can get similar ones here for £190.00. The same version with brown detailing are also available here priced £215.00.

Deaf Pastoral Group
St Philip Evans Parish includes a Pastoral Group within the Parish which consists of Deaf and Hearing people. The Hearing people have learned Sign Language and are now able to sign every Sunday at the 10.30 Mass, and on any other occasion where Deaf people are in the Congregation – both in the Parish, and at Diocesan events. They have also formed a Signing Choir. Members of the Deaf Pastoral Group also enable the continued running of the Tuesday Group, a social gathering for deaf people including a shared meal.
The Deaf Pastoral Group does not often meet as a whole group, although the Director of the Deaf Service does ocassionally call a meeting when there are to be major decisions or to plan future events. Rather, it is a network of Deaf and Hearing people who meet each other at Mass, or at these other events. The easiest way to become involved is to turn up at the 10.30 am Mass on Sunday or the Tuesday Group from 10 am most Tuesdays, and make yourself known to the signers present.

The HIRREM Research Team at WFSM is a multi-disciplinary, academic research group, based primarily in the Department of Neurology, pursuing scientific evaluation of the use of HIRREM, including effects and possible mechanisms.
High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM®) is a novel, noninvasive, closed-loop, electroencephalic-based feedback technology to facilitate auto-calibration, and self-optimization of neural oscillations by using auditory tones to reflect dominant brain frequencies in near real time. HIRREM is not a medical device and is not intended to treat, cure, heal, or diagnose any disease, mental illness or symptom, and individual results and duration of effects may vary.
In 2011, our team launched a series of research projects to study the use of HIRREM in a clinical setting. The primary goals are to evaluate the potential benefits of HIRREM, identify which symptoms or conditions may benefit, and define the magnitude of any benefit using accepted scientific methods. With the help of many collaborators our secondary goal is to better understand the mechanism(s) of action for HIRREM.
Many symptoms associated with a variety of clinical conditions, including some with a neurological or neuropsychological basis, are in need of effective noninvasive, non-drug therapies. Preliminary research is promising, but additional investigation is needed to better define benefits, elucidate potential mechanisms, and establish utility. Our team has the knowledge and experience to carry out such research.
This webpage is intended to serve as a noncommercial resource regarding HIRREM and research being done at WFSM using this method. It includes sections providing both basic and detailed overviews of the HIRREM process. The WFSM HIRREM research webpage is geared towards medical personnel, potential collaborators, and other interested individuals seeking information about HIRREM, our ongoing research, presentations and publications, support for this work, and our team. To avoid interfering with the review process for future manuscripts reporting this research, the webpage only provides access or links to materials that have already been published or presented.

Should you renovate or buy when it's time for a change?
What if we told you buying a property wasn't the only way to live in a new home? Renovating your home could add to its character and functionality making it feel new and refreshing, rather than old and familiar.
If your neighbourhood or your home is special to you, renovating is a great way to keep your old property fresh.
But like with any decision, picking a purchase or a renovation each comes with its own pros and cons. Here's what to look out for.
Renovate and refresh
Moving home may rank as one of the most stressful life events for the average Australian, so don't put yourself through it unnecessarily. A 2016 Houzz survey found that 46 per cent of respondents renovated because they wanted to stay in the same home.
If your home is special to you, renovating is a great way to keep it fresh. It's also worth looking at the future of your suburb before deciding. Using tools like Pricefinder and Residex, or by speaking to your local real estate agent. If your property is declining in value, now could be the best time to take the plunge and leave before your equity starts eroding.
If value growth in the area is promising, however, staying put and renovating could be a great way to capitalise on that and increase your property's value.
Houzz notes that the average Australian renovation costs $60,000.
Some 26 per cent of respondents to the Houzz survey believed renovating promised a better return on investment than buying did. You will have to monitor the price ceiling in your area though, lest you risk overcapitalising.
Houzz notes that the average Australian renovation costs $60,000, so it could be more affordable than purchasing a new home. Research and weigh up the costs before you commit to anything. Real estate agents and mortgage brokers can also help you understand the market and structure finances appropriately.
Buy and relocate
When you want to make a more drastic change, buying a new home is likely the right route. Relocating could be the best decision if:
- The area you live in has gone downhill (or is expected to)
- The council's overly strict in your area and is making renovation difficult
- Your property has serious problems making renovations not worth while (a building inspection report will let you know)
When mind's made up and you've decided moving is for the best, picking the right property should be your main concern. Apart from all the usuals like proximity to schools, work, cafes and family and friends, look at value growth trends in each suburb.
According to Houzz's data the average cost of Australian renovations in 2015 was over $60,000.
If you choose right, you could build considerable equity through your property's value gains without even making a single mortgage repayment. When you eventually sell the property this will mean you make a larger profit, and can potentially move on to an even better home when you decide to relocate again.
If you're ready to make your move and get into your new property get in touch with a real estate agency you trust.
With a professional to guide you on the way, you can feel confident that your choice is the right one.

Budget Cuts Threaten Enforcement Of Job Discrimination Laws
Jan 15, 2013, 10:07 EST
EEOC faces employee furloughs at time of record high discrimination complaints, AFGE says
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Potential budget cuts from sequestration would devastate the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's ability to enforce laws that protect American workers from job discrimination, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.
The sequestration scheduled to take place in March would slash an estimated $23 million to $30 million from EEOC's $360 million annual budget, which amounts to a cut of between 6.5% and 8.2%. Given that the bulk of EEOC's budget goes to pay employee salaries and expenses, EEOC would have no choice but to lay off workers without pay for extended periods of time.
"EEOC simply cannot absorb a cut of this magnitude," AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. said. "This cut would cripple the agency's ability to enforce laws that protect against workplace discrimination. EEOC cannot enforce laws without frontline staff allowed to be on the job."
EEOC already has been suffering under the second year of an unprecedented budget cut, which has reduced its budget each year by $7 million. Because EEOC is a small and historically underfunded agency, even this "haircut" has meant the loss of 9% of the agency's staff.
To make matters worse, these cuts are occurring at a time when workload is way up. EEOC has seen historically high charge filings during the past three years, receiving 99,412 charges of workplace discrimination in fiscal 2012 alone. EEOC continues to struggle with an unacceptable backlog of 70,312 cases and average processing times exceeding nine months.
"These extended delays represent lost opportunities for Americans who want to work. Cutting EEOC is counterintuitive at a time when job creation is the nation's priority, because the agency's mission is all about jobs," said Gabrielle Martin, president of AFGE's National Council of EEOC Locals, No. 216.
It is anticipated that, in the event of extended employee furloughs, EEOC would ensure that the intake of new discrimination complaints remained open. However, there would be no staff available to process these cases, so the backlog would skyrocket, Martin said.
"For all intents and purposes, the United States would cease to have enforceable civil rights in the workplace should sequestration occur," she said.
AFGE represents employees on the front lines of protecting civil rights in the workplace. EEOC's investigators, attorneys, mediators, administrative judges and other staff contribute to job creation by enforcing this nation's civil rights laws, which protect against discrimination on the job based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age disability and now genetics.
AFGE is calling on Congress to avoid sequestration and employee furloughs in fiscal 2013. Going forward, EEOC's budget for fiscal 2014 must be restored to at least $367 million, which would match EEOC's operating budgets in 2010 and 2011.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union, representing 670,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia. AFGE Council 216 is the exclusive representative of employees at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In many parts of the USA, the Muslims
cannot find any suitable place to perform salaat al-jumu'ah (Friday prayers) except
in some churches where they are able to rent space cheaply or for free. But some students
have stirred up a controversy as to whether it is correct to offer salaah in churches,
because of the report from Ibn 'Umar about preventing people from praying in
churches, synagogues, graveyards and places where sacrifices are made to other than
Allaah. On this basis, some of the Muslims have stopped coming to Jumu'ah prayers.
Could you please tell us the correct ruling on this matter, so that we may resolve the
differences between the Muslims in this community?
Jazaakum Allaahu khayran (may Allaah reward you with good).
Praise be to Allaah.
If it is possible to find an alternative place in which to pray, then it is not permitted to pray in churches and similar places, because these are the places of worship of the kuffaar, where they worship other than Allaah, and because of the statues and pictures that they contain. (But if it is not possible to find anywhere else, it is permissible to pray in them, out of necessity). 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "We do not enter your churches because of the statues and pictures that are in them." Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) used to pray in churches except for those in which there were statues and pictures. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1/112)

Qatari student filmmaker Mohammed Al Ibrahim's big break in forthcoming Hollywood movie Black Gold involved pigeons. 'I had a small role in the film. Myself and another Qatari, we were pigeon guards. Basically for homing pigeons. I had to say, "The pigeons are dead or flew away."'
Al Ibrahim laughs when he recalls the experience, and looks forward to seeing himself on the big screen when Black Gold is released towards the end of the year. He's come a long way since shooting his first one-minute movie as part of an educational programme put on by what would eventually become the Doha Film Institute (DFI). Now he's involved in Black Gold, the first big-budget production to be shot partially in Qatar, involving hundreds of extras, crew members, and creepy dead rubber camels. The film stars Antonio Banderas (left) and Freida Pinto, and tells the story of two Arab princes during the era when oil was first being discovered in the region.
The original script was a Hollywood albatross, delayed repeatedly until it finally came together in the dunes of Qatar and Tunisia. Al Ibrahim, along with fellow Qatari residents Tusilya Muthukumar and Mohanned Al Melhem, were drafted in as production assistants. 'This was a good start,' says Muthukumar. 'The first few days I was a bit frustrated, as there isn't always stuff to do. But I chatted to people on set and observed [director] Jean-Jacques Annaud, and it was a great learning experience for me.'
Muthukumar describes the time on set as challenging. 'I lived with the dead camels,' she announces. 'The tent where I managed the coffee table is where the animatronics people worked, where they put their workshop. So they had these pretend dead camels and humans everywhere to show the aftermath of a battle scene.'
For Scandar Copti, Oscar-nominated filmmaker and head of the DFI educational programming, the main draw of the film is the opportunity it has given to Qatar's aspiring movie hopefuls. Black Gold is the largest production filmed in Qatar to date, but many say it won't be the last. 'Qatar is competing right now – that's how I see it,' Al Ibrahim says. 'But it takes time.' Copti says the opportunity for the region goes beyond becoming another interchangeable backdrop – there's the chance to make films about the Arab world, made by Arabs, using Arab money. 'I'm not really a big fan of Hollywood films,' he says. 'But Black Gold is different. It's a European/Arab co-production, and most of the money is from this region. The culture exists. Now we're providing the platform for people who want to take action.'
And that action starts with getting people coffee. 'When we finished, I knew I would never look at movies the same way again,' says Al Melhem. 'Because when you see movies on TV, it's not just 90 minutes, it's all
that went into it.'
Black Gold is scheduled to hit UAE cinemas in November.
Arabia on the big screen
How will Black Gold compare to these films shot in the region?
Syriana (2005)
The geopolitical thriller starring George Clooney and Matt Damon was part-shot in Dubai. George looks disheveled and slightly overweight – even he is not oblivious to the famed 'Dubai stone'.
City of Life (2009)
The stories of three individuals – a young Arab male, a taxi driver who looks like a Bollywood star, and a ballet dancer-turned-flight attendant – intertwine and collide to showcase Dubai's multicultural diversity.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)
Tom Cruise came to the UAE to shoot the fourth instalment in his Mission: Impossible saga, running through souks and abseiling down the side of the Burj Khalifa. The film is out in December.

Reinvent: Determining Bargaining Power in the Platform Economy: Our political system has been hacked by time, circumstance, chaos, and disaster…
…The failings of the electoral college, the fact that small states hacked the constitution in 1787, so we now have a world in which the minority in the Senate represents 175 million people, while the majority represents 145 million people, and the gerrymandering after the 2010 census are primary examples of this dysfunction.
Fixes for the economy?:
- A 4 percent inflation target from the Federal Reserve, * Incentivizing businesses to invest in workers,
- Reinvigorating the idea that technology should be used to augment workers, not replace them.
The possibilities for positive human flourishing from the platform economy are immense, provided the platforms actually work. Uber's investors are currently paying 40 percent of Uber's costs. What happens when these investors start wanting their money back? The platform economy moves bargaining power away from the service providers and from the customers, and into the hands of the platforms. This is a problem for both consumers and independent workers. What bargaining power workers will have will be correlated to the time and resources devoted to training them: when you walk, you disrupt a general production value chain, and it is expensive to figure out how to replace you, even if there's someone else who certainly could do the job just as well. But if it is not very expensive, you have little power.
Nevertheless, here in California it is hard not to be a techno-optimist—especially if you are an curious infovore…says…."

Watch Andrew Garfield's Earnest Spider-Man Speech at Comic-Con
"He's saved my life."
At the intimate press conference prior to his Comic-Con panel for The Amazing Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield was as self-effacing as ever. When director Marc Webb said to "expect great things" from Garfield's chemistry with female lead Emma Stone, the actor demurred, "Don't expect too much. Expect some things. Expect us to be onscreen." Then, when Stone confessed that she signed on to the Spider-Man reboot mostly because Garfield was already attached, the embarrassed Brit vigorously shook his head and buried his reddened face in his arm. It was enough to get you wondering whether the 27-year-old Garfield would be up to his high-pressure Hall H debut just an hour later.
We needn't have worried, though.
When the Spider-Man panel kicked off in the crowded, cavernous hall, Garfield appeared "incognito" as the first questioner at the microphone, dressed in a Halloween costume version of the Spidey suit. Then, after ripping off his mask, the clearly psyched actor delivered a heartfelt, handwritten speech about how important the role of Peter Parker is to him, and for the rest of the panel, he was clearly riding an energy high. Here is that emotional speech, in its entirety.
"You have no idea how much this means to me. I've always wanted to come here as a fan, and this is my first time, so here I am, as a fan. I just want to say a couple of things. I'm Andrew Garfield and I'm going to be here introducing this panel, this Amazing Spider-Man panel.
"Stan Lee says that the reason why Spidey is so popular is because all of us can relate to him, and I agree. I needed Spidey in my life when I was a kid, and he gave me hope. In every comic I read, he was living out my and every skinny boy's fantasy of being stronger, of being free of the body I was born into, and that swinging sensation of flight. And upon receiving his power, unlike most who have become corrupted, he used it for good. And I think that we all wish we had the courage to stick up for ourselves more, to stick up for a loved one more, or even a stranger you see being mistreated, and Peter Parker has inspired me to feel stronger. He made me, Andrew, braver. He reassured me that by doing the right thing, it's worth it. It's worth the struggle, it's worth the pain, it's worth even the tears, the bruises, and the blood.
"And, and, and I wouldn't be able to stand here in front of you guys right now without feeling that Spider-Man was here with me with his reassuring hand on my shoulder, making sure I don't fall over and concuss myself. He has inspired countless people: girls, boys, men, women, all of us, and he's saved lives. And he's saved my life. And I owe Webhead a lot and I owe Stan the Man a lot and I'm humbled to be here, like you do not know, to share the work that we've done with all of you. And this is my first Comic-Con. This is definitely the coolest moment of my life and thank you for being here to share it with me."

So I started painting and sculpting again for FUN> Some years ago (c2001) someone asked me what I call this stuff...For lack of a better...

Washington, DC – Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06) today joined House and Senate conservatives at a press conference to support the Continuing Resolution that funds the government while defunding President Obama's signature health care law.
"Constituents from across the district have expressed deep concern about the harmful effects of ObamaCare," Rep. DeSantis said. "When ObamaCare was passed, we were promised lower rates, the ability to keep current coverage, and benefits for the economy; instead prices are rising, Americans are losing their health care coverage they were promised they could keep, and a number of employees are finding their hours reduced."
"I fully support the House's Continuing Resolution that will keep our government open while stripping funding from ObamaCare," Rep. DeSantis continued. "The President has unilaterally exempted big business and cut a special deal for members of Congress. It is not fair to deny relief for the American people while rewarding those with political connections. It will be up to the U.S. Senate and Majority Leader Harry Reid to decide whether they are interested in protecting American families from the devastating effects of ObamaCare."
Other members in attendance included Sen. Mike Lee (UT), Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), Rep. Tom Graves (GA-14), Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4), Rep. Mark Meadows (NC-11), Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-5), Rep. Jim Bridenstine (OK-1), Rep. Raul Labrador (ID-1), and Rep. Marlin Stutzman (IN-3).

When looking to apply for a part-time bookkeeper job, it is recommended that applicants dress their best at the interview for the position, be flexible when it comes to pay due to the more flexible nature of the part-time job and provide work samples to showcase bookkeeping ability notes the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers. Another tip is to learn how to establish a relationship with a CPA, as a referral from a CPA can make the difference between finding a new client or waiting around for work.Continue Reading
It is also important that the applicant list "part-time" work as something that he wants in the objective section of the resume or application according to FlexJobs. This lets employers know that the applicant is not looking at the part-time bookkeeping job out of necessity because the applicant cannot find a full-time job, but because the applicant wants to find and stay in a part-time position. It is also a good idea for applicants to let the employer know why they want a part-time bookkeeping position instead of a full-time bookkeeping position reports the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers.Learn more about Applying & Interviewing

Investigators found suspicious injuries on the body of a woman that was found Friday on the south bank of the Tennessee River.
Chattanooga police said the body of Deborah Underhill was found about 6:30 p.m. Friday. The police news release did not describe the injuries investigators found suspicious.

She may have also been known as Deborah Faye Swafford, and she lived in the Red Bank and St. Elmo areas. She was known to frequent the downtown area, particularly the Public Library.
Anyone who saw Underhill on Thursday or Friday is asked to contact the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525.

Great suggestions about the Mets lineup. I think Willie Randolph should check in here daily, I know Bobby V would. And you got me thinking. The best thing about this for the Mets is that they finally have options to make changes in the lineup â and good arguments can be made for so many of the options.
The vote was just about 50-50 and there were plenty of good arguments made on boths sides. I said yesterday that David Wright should bat second in this lineup instead of fifth, but I also agree with those who think it could be done on occasion and then see how it all shakes out.
Batting Wright third as Santiago6 and Wally suggested is an idea I like too because you have two speedsters in front of the heavy hitters if you put Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran in the first two slots, somethingâs always about to happen.
After talking to Beltran a lot this spring, I get the sense that this will be his breakout year for the Mets, quite possibly an MVP season and to me, he best fits as a No. 3 hitter. He just seems to be that classic type of hitter.
But I can buy the argument that having Reyes and Beltran on top is an absolute nightmare for opposing pitchers. The bottom line here is that no matter how Randolph decides to go, the Mets are the most intimidating lineup in the National League.
After todayâs game, a 6-5 win by the Mets Bomb Squad â the B team — David Newhan, who is going to be the new Chris Woodward/Joe McEwing went as far to say that this is an âAL Eastââ lineup. Thatâs impressive.
Here is what was really interesting about Newhanâs big day today. Iâll let you in on what I saw before the game and how it paid off for Newhan. He singled in the ninth to tie the game, tripled in the first and had three RBI. This is one of the great things about being at spring training and watching everything closely.
Even though this was a reserve squad the Mets sent to Jupiter you had some veteran leadership in the middle of the order in Julio Franco, Ruben Sierra and Sandy Alomar, batting back-to-back-to back. The AARP Squad is here to teach as well.
About an hour before the first pitch, Sierra grabbed Newhan in the Mets dugout, after Newhan had taken some BP swings and was working with him on âloading upââ his swing â getting his weight back so he could transfer â showing Newhan to do all this at the same time the pitcher was rearing back to throw.
âWhen the pitcher goes back, you go back,ââ Sierra said. Sierra then demonstrated exactly what he meant. Newhan had heard this before, of course, but Sierra demonstrated it in a way and physically was pulling Newhan through the exercise and you could just see how Newhan understood what the veteran slugger was saying.
It was an interesting teaching moment out of sight of the cameras.
Only the home games are SNY-ed. Newhan then went out and tripled in his first at-bat.
This is how a team becomes a team, everyone helps each other. And thatâs what the Mets are doing. Anymore lineup suggestions let me know.
The next question is how does this bullpen shake out now that Joe Smith is making his move? Let me know.

The 6% solution (20 vols) Hydrogen Peroxide BP contains phosphoric acid and phenacetin. So I guess its not food grade?

National Park Service Remembers "The First World War" At Fort Necessity (Exhibit to run April 2017 to November 2018) One hundred years ago this month, President Woodrow Wilson asked for and received from Congress a declaration of war against the German Empire, a declaration eventually expanded to include the Central Powers, Germany's allies. So began America's entry into the Great War that had been raging globally for over three years. It would cost the lives of thousands of Americans in the coming year and mark the entry of this country as a world player for the remainder of the 20th century.
Historian and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called the French & Indian War (1754-1763) "the first" world war, a war that began here in western Pennsylvania with the battle at Fort Necessity. The war grew into an international affair between the two great empires of France and Britain. Fighting occurred on every continent with exception to Australia and Antarctica and cost the lives of nearly a million people. The French & Indian War's outcome set the stage for America's War of Independence.
The Fort Necessity National visitor center is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free. For more information on the park please call during business hours at 724-329-5805 or visit our webpage at www.nps.gov/fone

More than 20,000 protesters descended upon Wall Street Thursday to demand an end to Mayor Bloomberg's draconian education cuts and his soft touch approach to billion-dollar companies.
The May 12 event began as a series of splinter cell protests in the radius surrounding Wall Street that ultimately converged on the financial district.
Those in attendance included Reverend Al Sharpton, the United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew, and various members of the City Council.
At the education protest, teachers came out in droves to protest Bloomberg's recent decision to lay off thousands of teachers. Additionally, educators were demanding Bloomberg ask his rich friends on Wall Street to sacrifice along with everyone else.
David Pecoraro, a math teacher at Beach Channel High School and a parent to a high school freshman, attended the protest to represent the interests of his students and his son.
"All are going to be denied the right to a quality education because of these politically motivated, unnecessary cuts," said Pecoraro, adding that it's not just a matter of denying educations to youth, but the education cuts are dangerous in some cases, too. Some of his son's classes use heavy machinery, and the cuts mean there's less faculty to supervise the students. "[Bloomberg] is playing with the kids' lives," he said.
On top of the thousands of teachers Bloomberg plans to lay off, the mayor hasn't replaced the 5,000 educators who were also fired in the last five years.
Pecoraro doesn't see the layoffs as part of a fair compromise plan in which all citizens are asked to share sacrifice. "I haven't seen any of [Bloomberg's] billionaire friends lose anything," he said. "There's no millionaire's tax on the city level. The Bush tax cuts got extended, so these guys are still partying hardy. The party's got to end. I'm tired of people trying to take my kid's education away."
Protesters consistently referred to the city's $3.2 billion budget surplus (pdf) as proof that the mayor hasn't run out of money, but rather he's simply making bad decisions by catering to the interests of the wealthy elites.
Michelle Hamilton, a teacher at The Albert Einstein School, said that Bloomberg isn't asking the people responsible for tanking the economy to forfeit anything. "The sacrifices are being asked for from everyday people," said Hamilton.
