The old rule of thumb was to spend 25 percent of one's net income on housing. In other words, the monthly payment should have been no more than a week's take-home pay.
But times change and so do the rules. As housing prices have escalated, the percentage of income which most people spend on their shelter has climbed as well.
Annual payments on mortgage principal, taxes, and interest now run about one-third of most households' after-tax income. However, they can run much higher, from 35 to 45 percent, according to Warren Matthews, senior economist of the Mortgage Bankers Association. The higher figures often may include the cost of utilities.
As a result, many lenders have relaxed their underwriting standards for how much income potential homeowners may devote to their purchase. Mr. Matthews says that the old rule of about 25 percent may have been unnecessarily conservative.
''With high interest rates and prices, lenders have relaxed these guidelines, and with good results,'' Mr. Matthews says. ''They have found that they can allow people to pay a larger percentage of their income and continue to do well.''
The reasons, he suggests, are such factors as more two-income families, which can absorb higher costs, and decisions to delay having children, thereby keeping financial commitments low.
Robert Gough of Data Resources Inc. in Lexington, Mass., says the median mortgage percentage currently is about 38 percent - ''way above the rule of thumb which most financial institutions permit.'' Creative financing, in which a buyer might take on a mortgage as well as receive assistance from the seller, can push the percentage up.
Mortgage burdens vary by area of the country. For example, buyers are particularly hard hit in parts of California, where housing costs have skyrocketed, but incomes have remain moderate. Prices in the Northeast and the north-central states remain lower than in faster-growth areas of the United States.
In metropolitan Boston, the typical house with three bedrooms and a two-car garage costs about $95,000. In Chicago, by contrast, it costs only $80,000. But the same house in Houston will run $110,000, and in Los Angeles it will shoot up to $175,000, says Don Ursin, president of Coldwell Banker Thorson, a nationwide real estate brokerage.
Thus, buyers who move may face the choice of either scaling down their living style or carrying a much heavier mortgage in order to buy the kind of house they want.
Heavier mortgage burdens have contributed to the perception of some buyers that it takes a two-income household to buy the house of one's choice. According to a recent Louis Harris poll, 67 percent of those in the $18,000-50,000 income bracket felt that this was so. The figure for households earning under $18,000 was 71 percent.
Samuel J. McDonald, a Weston, Mass., realtor has a program to help interested spouses of transferees find jobs, because without the second income, purchasing the house of the couple's choice may be difficult, if not impossible. The majority of families he serves earn two paychecks.
At Provident Institution for Savings and Loans in Boston, assistant vice-president William Mullin says that the bank's usual income ratio is 28 percent, although it varies, depending on the individual's long-term debts as well as the size of the down payment, which thus adds to his investment in the building.
Mr. Mullin cautions against exceeding a reasonable mortgage-debt ratio for a buyer.
''There's nothing worse you can do than put someone in a house he can't afford,'' Mr. Mullin says. ''Even if the person keeps up the payments, then the maintenance of the place might slip and decrease its value.
''The lender's security goes down, and you're not doing anyone a favor.''

And in the short term, kids' theater is a way to keep the little rascals quiet and entertained for a couple of hours. This weekend, a triumvirate of shows for smaller audiences hits area venues.
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel should entertain kids and grown-ups. Based on a 1939 children's book by Virginia Lee Burton that has remained a kid-lit classic, Shovel is bound to trigger bedtime-story memories for most everyone. Remember the book with its red cover? Mike's anthropomorphic steam shovel named Mary Anne, and her cute face? In these economically topsy-turvy times, the story manages to resonate -- it concerns Mike's quest to find work. The production, from the New York-based company Theatreworks/USA, will be staged at the Florissant Civic Center Theater (Florissant Civic Center, Parker Road at Waterford Drive) on Sunday, November 23; Friday, November 28; and Saturday, November 29. All shows begin at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $5.25 each (with group rates available); call 314-921-5678.
Not quite as old -- but still widely considered a favorite in the children's-book department -- is the title Miss Nelson Is Missing!, which has also been turned into an award-winning piece of children's theater. This tale concerns the students of Room 207, who abuse the good graces of their elementary school teacher until she disappears one day, only to be replaced by the evil sub Viola Swamp. Both the book and the play (staged by the Omaha Theater Company) have been praised for interpreting Golden Rule-morals in a way that kids can absorb and understand. Miss Nelson Is Missing! plays at the COCA Family Theatre in University City (524 Trinity Avenue) at 7 p.m. Friday, November 21; and at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. on both Saturday, November 22, and Sunday, November 23. Tickets cost $17 and can be purchased by calling MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or by visiting www.metrotix.com.
If you'll only settle for the show that's most in tune with the with-it, right-now kids' cultural zeitgeist, then Dora the Explorer Live! Search for the City of Lost Toys is your thing. The smash-hit Nickelodeon cartoon receives a faithful live-show translation in this nationally touring production. All of Dora's friends make appearances, including Boots, Benny, Tico, Backpack and sneaky Swiper the Fox, and just like on TV, our inquisitive heroine speaks in both English and Spanish. Dora the Explorer Live! will play six shows at the Fox Theatre (527 North Grand Boulevard) this Friday through Sunday. Tickets cost $15-$40 and can also be purchased through MetroTix's phone number or Web site.

Artist Residency Milwaukee Public January- March 2013
i had the pleasure to work with two fourth grade classrooms this winter. the residency involved bringing looms into their classroom and letting the children experience weaving first hand. the residency had to include wisconsin history. on the first day i showed them examples of my work, an antique quilt, a Latvian cap embellished with beads. i explained that many immigrants came to wisconsin and brought their folk arts and craft with them.
our first project included making a story picture. they were given the task to sketch a picture that tells a story. then they were given some felt and fabric scraps to glue down. when all the pieces were attached they were given thread and a needle to stitch.
our second project which landed on the week of St Valentine's day we wove Scandinavian paper hearts. they were given a red piece of paper and a white piece of paper. if they mastered the red and white, i had some decorative papers they could use.
the last of the take home projects was a woven bracelet. the project included three straws taped together and strings threaded through them. the students chose a ball of yarn and wove the yarn around the straws.
each week when we were doing the smaller projects the students wove on the looms to create yardage. i explained to the students that they weaving that they were doing on the loom was going to be turned into the image of wisconsin. the bulk of my residency was a huge amount of prep and construction.
in the beginning we created the story picture that was built out of fabric much like embroidery and quilting. to actually build or create the fabric for the finished classroom project will make those students so proud. i will present the project to them next week.
my goal in all of my residencies is to offer an a unique and valuable experience with fiber that is gratifying. whether my students are young or old, most all of them enjoy weaving as a craft or weaving as an art form.
much thanks is given to my volunteer helpers i had three, my babysitters, and ABK Weaving Center for the use of four looms.

Cats Blast Bluejays in Nightcap for Split
March 7, 2009
TUCSON--Arizona acted like it was a bit miffed after dropping the opener, and came out swinging to blast Creighton 19-2 in the nightcap of a twinbill in the Hillenbrand Invitational softball tournament Saturday night.
Stacie Chambers slugged two home runs and Jenae Leles and Sam Banister also got in the act, but those were just four of Arizona's 18 hits in the contest. Meantime, Lindsey Sisk tossed a two-hitter.
Arizona, the designated visiting team, got off to a better start than in the CU opener, batting around and putting four runs on the board in the first. Leles hit a three-run home run, and Banister doubled and later scored on a passed ball.
The Bluejays picked up an unearned run in their half of the first. Bailey Dawson led off with a single, moved up on a grounder for the second out, and scored on a throwing error by UA shortsthop K'Lee Arredondo to trim the lead.
But Arizona batted around again in the second, with Chambers pounding a three-run homer to highlight a five-run rally that pushed UA to a 10-1 lead. It was her 11th home run and 42nd RBI in 24 games.
In the third, Chambers extended both marks with a two-run home run to left center, with both runs unearned after a fielding error put Sam Banister aboard.
Banister got in the act in the UA fourth, banging a two-run homer to cap a four-run inning, with Leles picking up another RBI on a single and Arredondo hitting a sac fly.
The Jays got in the long ball syndrome when Renae Sinkler led off with a solo blast to right field, only the second hit off UA pitcher Sisk.
Arizona just kept going, with a three-run fifth, keyed by a two-run single from Karissa Buchanan and an RBI double by Leles to post the Cats' final runs in the five-inning game.
Kylie Hovinga (2-2) took the loss for the Bluejays, who dropped to 8-6 on the year. Arizona improved to 19-5 overall.
The Cats play Saint Joseph's in a doubleheader at 12 noon following a 9:30 contest between Creighton and Minnnesota.
Game 7 - Creighton 6, Arizona 0 TUCSON--A pair of home runs and solid pitching from Tara Oltman helped Creighton thump No. 13 Arizona, 6-0, Saturday afternoon in the opening game of a doubleheader at UA's Hillenbrand Invitational tournament.
The Cats lost for the first time in 11 games at home this year.
Oltman scattered five hits and kept UA's hitters off balance throughout. Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters struck out three times, hit into a double play and flied out three times in eight at-bats. She struck out seven and walked only two
The Bluejays (8-5) got on the board in the top of the third with a leadoff infield single by Bailey Dawson, a sacrifice by Michelle Koch and a run-scoring single from Renae Sinkler.
After a wild pitch by UA starter Sarah Akamine (10-3) moved Sinkler up a base, Creighton's Laura Krattochvil banged a home run off the batter's eye in center, which chased Akamine in favor of Jennifer Martinez, and Arizona trailing 3-0.
Arizona (18-5) had base runners in each of the first five innings, and had the bases loaded in the fourth, but couldn't come up with a timely hit off Oltman, who almost a year to the day beat Arizona last season in Tucson, 2-1, on March 8 with a two-hitter.
Dawson clouted a three-run home run in the top of the sixth to give the Jays some cushion, all unearned runs because of an earlier bobbled grounder in the inning by Martinez.
Martinez struck out nine in four and two-thirds innings of the no-decision appearance, her longest pitching stint as a Wildcat.
Game 6 - Minnesota 5, Saint Joseph's 0
TUCSON--Briana Hassett struck out 11 and tossed a two-hitter to help lift Minnesota to a5-0 victory over Saint Joseph's for a doubleheader sweep over the Hawks Saturday in Arizona's Hillenbrand Inviational.
A pair of home runs provided some cushion, but Minnesota (12-13) got all the runs it needed in the first.
The Gophers picked up a run in the first with an infield grounder by Heidi Carls that drove in Sammie Howard, who had drawn a walk and moved up on singled by Malissa Barnes and Shannon Stemper.
After Howard singled in the third, Barnes nailed a first-pitch offering from Dani Gonzales for a home run and a 3-0 lead.
Brianna Sudenga's two-run home run in the bottm of the sixth put the final runs across for Minnesota, which now is 2-2 on the weekend.
SJU fell to 0-4 on the weekend and 4-7 overall. Dani Gonzales (3-3) took the loss.
Game 5 - Minnesota 8, Saint Joseph's 0
TUCSON--Minnesota's Briana Hassett (11-7) pitched a four-hit shutout and five Hawks errors helped the Golden Gophers (11-13) take advantage of Saint Joseph's, 8-0, in five innings Saturday afternoon in Arizona's Hillenbrand Invitational softball tournament.
Saint Joseph's (4-6) had the bases loaded with one in the first after singles by Laura Cardone and Bernadette Moran and a walk to Brooke Darreff, but Hassett got out of the jam with a strikeout and fly ball to strand three.
The Golden Gophers scored four unearned runs on the bottom of the first. After two outs Katie Dalen got a single and errors by shortstop Moran put two more aboard. Aubrey Davis walked to drive in a run, a wild pitch scored another, and a throwing error by third baseman Monica Aguilar let two cross the plate.
Minnesota picked up three mores runs in the third keyed by a two-run single by Colleen Conway, both unearned after a dropped throw on an attempted forceout by Moran. The Gophes added a fin in the top of the fifth. SJU pitcher Erin Gallagher (1-4) took the loss, but only one of the seven runs charged against her was earned.

French authorities say they are analyzing a videotape that shows two French aid workers kidnapped by the Taleban more than a week ago in southwestern Afghanistan.
French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy Saturday confirmed that two French nationals appear on the tape along with three Afghan colleagues. The minister says his country is determined to save the members of the group.
The tape shows the two aid workers, a young woman and a man who says his name is Eric, pleading for their lives.
Three blindfolded and shackled Afghan men believed to be colleagues of the French hostages also appear in the video.
The French workers, who belong to a children's aid group (Terre d'Enfance), went missing in Nimroz province on April 3. Taleban insurgents have claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
On Friday, French President Jacques Chirac asked the Afghan government to help free the French hostages. Afghan President Hamid Karzai says the authorities are doing their utmost to secure their release.
Mr. Karzai has ruled out future hostage deals after his government freed Taleban prisoners last month to win the release of an Italian journalist. An Afghan interpreter kidnapped with the Italian journalist was beheaded Sunday.
Taleban militants have threatened to kill other hostages, including five Afghans, unless the government releases two Taleban commanders.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.

Case Studies
- Name: Arabella
- Role: Investment Analyst
- Joined: September 2016
- University: Durham University
- Degree: BSc Mathematics
I joined the graduate scheme this September after applying for the role in my final year at university. I applied for the job because it was a client facing role, which also allowed me to use my Maths background. When I researched the position, I also found it was varied and gives the opportunity to gain a professional qualification. I then chose the organisation because of the friendly people I met at my interviews and also the focus on having a good work/life balance.
A typical day would start with checking my emails for any new work or information that has come through overnight. Then I'd get started on the tasks I've got for the day like emailing managers, putting together an investment review or billing a client. Normally there will be a couple of meetings each day and at the moment there's lots of training in all aspects of the role. For some of these sessions we travel to London but most of the time they are in Leeds.
I've chosen to study for the Actuarial Qualifications, so I start my exams in April 2017. Willis Towers Watson have guided me through the steps of the process and provided me with all the study materials.
I'm really enjoying the job so far, every day is different and everyone at the office is very welcoming. It's been great getting to know everyone, we've even got an office holiday to Barcelona coming up in a couple of months!
- Name: Shu-En
- Role: Investment Analyst
- University: Cass Business School
- Degree: BSc Actuarial Science 2014
Whilst doing my degree in Actuarial Science, Willis Towers Watson was well known among students for being one of the best employers for actuaries. I applied for an Investment Consulting internship as I was interested in how large institutional investors make their investment decisions. I enjoyed the internship and decided to start my career with the Willis Towers Watson graduate scheme the following year. The training I have received when I was a graduate was well structured and helpful for understanding more about my role, as well as other functions within the business.
Currently I sit within the Structured Products team, which is a team that is specialised in helping institutional investors such as UK pension schemes hedge the risks that they face. I find it interesting as the role is technically challenging and requires knowledge about market instruments such as swaps and gilts and also a good understanding about our client's liabilities. On a day to day basis the work I do involves working together with clients, understanding their needs and recommending a solution for them.
I find that the people I've worked with are all very helpful and friendly, particularly when I had many questions at the start, which I really appreciate. The seniors around the office usually sit together with the team so we also get to listen to many interesting conversations about work. I personally like working with spreadsheets and models, I like that the role offers that, but also provides on the job training of communicating with people from different teams, as well as clients and investment managers. When I first joined I found it difficult to juggle multiple deadlines during busy periods, but it has certainly taught me how to manage my time and workload better.

OUR TURN by Martiros Vartanov
Compelled to meaningfully answer his son's question about death, the father responds by making him a film, but will it terrify him — or inspire — for life?
The second installment in Martiros Vartanov's experimental 16mm black and short documentary trilogy created at UCLA is entitled Our Turn and is dedicated to Buster Keaton.
It was shot on 16mm Kodak film and 16mm Arriflex movie camera. Martiros also composed an experimental soundtrack. Our Turn had its world premiere at Lincoln Center in New York, and follows Martiros Vartanov's first film, entitled The Last Film, which was released by Criterion.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee have issued an Amber alert for a teen who they say is with a man suspected of fatally shooting a gas station clerk during a robbery attempt.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued the alert Wednesday morning for 15-year-old Trinity Faith Quinn. Police say she was last seen Tuesday night in surveillance video with 28-year-old Daniel Clark at an Exxon station in Nashville where the clerk was fatally shot. Police say Clark is suspected of killing the clerk, 58-year-old John Daniel Stevens, during a robbery attempt.
Police say they found Clark's vehicle in a nearby parking lot and that he and the teenager girl could be on foot.
Media reported that a SWAT team was searching the area near the gas station while a helicopter circled above.

Maldives' former chief prosecutor Muhuthaz Muhsin was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to 17 years in prison after the court found him guilty of forging warrant to arrest the president.
The arrest warrant was issued from the Alif Dhaal Maamigili magistrate court in February. Former prosecutor general Muhuthaz had been charged with terrorism while the chief magistrate of the court Ahmed Nihan also faces abuse of power charges.
Prosecutors claim Muhsin had traveled to a magistrate court on the island of Maamigili in Alif Dhaal Atoll at 3:30am on February 7 to seek a fake warrant against the president.
Muhsin's lawyers said he had only traveled to Maamigilli on the orders of senior police officers, and had no intent of securing a fake warrant.
However, the chief criminal judge Abdul Baaree Yoosuf presiding over the case ruled that the defence had been unable to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the order came from the police.
"Muhuthaz had conspired to kidnap the president and exert undue influence on the government," the verdict read.
The magistrate Ahmed Nihan was also scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday but the hearing was suddenly cancelled.

NEW BRITAIN - The Central Connecticut State football team wanted to put its Week 1 loss to Syracuse behind it. Now, it'll have to do the same after Week 2.
As the Blue Devils walked off the field on Saturday, there was a sense of frustration and disappointment after an interception returned for a touchdown with 1:27 left in the game handed them a 38-31 loss to Fordham, dropping them to 0-2 on the young season.
But pick six aside, it was a game that should never have turned out the way it did. That might have been the worst part.
The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 17-0 lead less than three minutes into the game thanks to a 95-yard kickoff return by Tajik Bagley, a 32-yard field goal from Frankie Palmer and a 31-yard fumble recovery from Tymir Hinton.
After that, the offense managed just 14 points - a touchdown near the end of the second quarter and one in the third - to Fordham's 38 and was outscored 17-7 in the second half. In the first half, CCSU compiled just 166 yards of total offense through eight drives. Just one led to an offensive touchdown.
"You can't do that in a game like this," Blue Devils head coach Pete Rossomando said. "You have to score."
Some of it has to do with quarterback Jacob Dolegala missing wide open targets too often, which was a consistent problem throughout the day such as when he missed a wide open E.J. Smith running down the middle of the field for what would have been a sure touchdown and a potential game winner with 1:22 left in the fourth quarter.
Some of it had to do with the ineffectiveness of the running game. As a team, CCSU rushed 25 times for just 70 yards and average 62 yards on the ground for the season. Finally, some of it also had to do with the Rams facing Army in Week 1, which runs a triple option, a completely different style of offense than the Blue Devils run.
Overall, CCSU was just 2 of 13 on third down. The Rams were 7 of 16.
When asked if the offense had relaxed a little having such a sizeable lead to work with so early on, Dolegala's response was short, but completely accurate.
"No, we're not good enough to do that yet," he said.
And he's right. Over their last two seasons, the Blue Devils have had point differentials (meaning how much more its opponents score than it does) of -8.4 (2015) and -12.5 (2016). Last season, CCSU scored fewer than 20 points four times, all losses. Through two games this season, its point differential is -25. Of course, the 50-7 loss to Syracuse in the season opener skews the numbers. But in order to win games, points have to be put on the board and on Saturday the unit accounted for just 14 if you take away Palmer's field goal.
So, what is the reason for the offensive struggles? As Dolegala put it, it is a matter of everyone not being in sync.
"Offense has a lot of moving parts," Dolegala said. "Everybody has to do the right thing on every play to be successful, and obviously, we weren't."
And it starts with the quarterback. Dolegala completed just 18 of his 41 throws for 224 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. On the season, he is completing just 40 percent of his passes.
Dolegala will have to make more plays if CCSU wants to have its first winning season since 2010.
"He's got to make throws and I can put it on his shoulders because he knows he's our guy and we love him," Rossomando said. "He's going to be our starter next week under center, but he's got to make throws. He's got to make plays."
Of course, not everything from this game falls on the offense. The defense was just as much to blame at times.
Despite limiting the Rams to one rushing touchdown and preventing a 100-yard rusher, Fordham did most of its damage through the air.
Rams quarterback Kevin Anderson went 17-of-29 for 265 yards and three touchdowns, one of which went 30 yards to Andrew Prince with six seconds left in the third. That play, not the pick six, was the turning point of the afternoon, according to Rossomando.
Compared to the Blue Devils' 294 total yards, Fordham totaled 471 even though CCSU came away with three turnovers.
"Defense has to put together a good, full week of practices," Blue Devils linebacker Randall Laguerre said, "because Youngstown State is a pretty good team, probably the best we're going to play so far."
Hopefully, that's all CCSU will need to earn its first win of the season. The players and coaches believe the talent is there. It just has to materialize on the field.

Development / Prototyping
Tailored prototype solutions
A common bottleneck in the development of embedded devices or systems is the availability of the target platforms in the early stages of the development. TechSAT offers tiered solutions that join seamlessly with the validation systems of the early system engineering phase.
For the pre-integration of applications, we offer generic ADS2-based target simulators that replicate dedicated mechanisms of the target operating system and permit debugging of inter-process communication. Based on the ADS2 middleware we can apply automated testing tools, again very early in the development process, and thus insure the quality of the final product through the increased testing depth delivered by those tools.
Target simulators allow for a consequent continuation of test-driven development. Backed by many years of know-how and thanks to our own products, we can quickly build target simulators that are also fitted with data bus interfaces (e.g. A664, A429, A825/CAN) so the I/O communication of the applications can be tested as well. At this level of integration, our ADS2-based equipment test systems of the MAYA family, which are connected to the data bus interfaces of the target simulators, are employed for the first time. On these platforms, tests from the previous test development phase can be reused and refined. Again, all mechanisms of automated and manual testing are available.
Our in-house hardware and software development enables us to offer our customers the possibility of rapid prototyping. To this end, the target platform of the customer project is replicated as accurately as possible with readily available COTS products. Where these are lacking, the missing components are emulated by hardware and logic. The resulting target prototypes can be employed for the development of low-level software applications and board support packages. The I/O interfaces can be connected via a special harness to the same equipment test systems that have been used for the target simulators or that are intended for future real target equipment testing.

Just as Joe Cole's return, 14 years after he made his West Ham debut, was the stuff of dreams, along came Robin van Persie – who else? – to burst that bubble.
Not that it entirely faded, or died. Van Persie's injury-time goal, the 20th of his extraordinary season, only salvaged a desperate draw for Manchester United.
This third-round tie will go to a replay and if the second match is as good as the first it will be one to savour. And not just for Van Persie's wonderful first touch, after a superb flighted pass from Ryan Giggs, and his unerring shot which flashed past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
"The manner of the goal, the pass, the first touch and the finish – absolutely world-class," purred United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. That he had to call Van Persie – and Giggs – from the bench showed how hard his team had been pushed.
Indeed, by the time that goal was struck, David Beckham, who had caused a ripple of interest by turning up with his children in an executive box, had departed. Would he be joining Cole at West Ham? Not likely – although Brazilian striker Wellington Paulista will, on loan. He arrives in London on Sunday. Beckham was probably just taking in his former team – and indulging his liking for East End pie and liquor.
Cole certainly provided food for thought. He was West Ham's creator and left the field with 12 minutes to go, exhausted, and with a bloody nose – spilling claret for the Claret and Blues – and to a standing ovation. In the preceding minutes he had probably achieved more than he did in the previous lost two years at Liverpool.
The hullabaloo about his return to the club where he made his name has been a little uncomfortable for the 31 year-old, partly because of the circumstance. Will it last? Was he simply running on adrenalin and past glories? Time will tell.
"I didn't like all the fuss," Cole later admitted. "I just wanted to get out there and play football. It's just nice to be involved as it's been a long time since I played. But I still think it was a lost opportunity for us." It was.
Having fallen behind to another superb strike – from Tom Cleverley – West Ham rallied courageously. By the time Cleverley had run on to Javier Hernandez's fine, sweeping low cross to arc a first-time shot around Jaaskelainen to give United the lead, both sides had cleared chances of the goal-line.
For United, Paul Scholes, from Alou Diarra's header, and then Nemanja Vidic, had headed out from under their own crossbars while, for West Ham, Dan Potts had hacked out Vidic's header. Eighteen-year-old Potts's father, Steve, had been in the West Ham side when Cole made his original debut, also in this competition.
"You have the spectrum of Joe Cole coming back and Dan Potts being called back from loan at Colchester," West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said. "He shouldn't go back after that [performance]."
Once ahead, United were quickly hauled back. Cole was given time and space on his stronger right-foot and his in-swinging cross picked out James Collins who was unmarked in the United area. The defender steered a powerful header past David de Gea.
There was a thrilling ebb and flow with West Ham applying pressure, the ball pinging around the United area and then, on the break, Welbeck sprinted clear, only for his shot to hammer off Jaaskelainen's chest.
Cole intervened again. First he picked out Carlton Cole, with another dangerous cross, only for his header to be saved by De Gea. Then, wonderfully, he once more combined with Collins. Again the United defenders stood off, Cole accepted the invitation to curl another centre that found Collins. Once more he was somehow unmarked and he steered another powerful header into the net.
United seemed deflated, then desperate. Ferguson, increasingly, agitated, threw on his substitutes. But for all United's pressure there were very few chances – with West Ham coming to rue a wasted opportunity for Matt Taylor and De Gea just about denying Carlton Cole.
Giggs headed over from close range and that seemed it for United – until, as the added four minutes were being announced, Giggs and Van Persie combined to deadly, decisive effect. "Unbelievable," sighed Allardyce. It was, in every respect.

Grant funding for some Yampa Street improvements will be competitive, limited
February 3, 2014
Steamboat Springs — The new Yampa Street lodging tax committee learned this week that getting grants to help make a promenade on Yampa a reality will be competitive, and complicated.
Winnie DelliQuadri, the city of Steamboat Springs' grant specialist, spent much of the committee's second meeting on Monday going over the possible grant opportunities for the project.
She kicked off the discussion by cautioning the group that grants shouldn't drive how the committee prioritizes parts of the project.
"Establish your priorities first, and then I'll start talking to grant managers," she said.
But the grant opportunities for some parts of the promenade could be limited.
For instance, using a Great Outdoors Colorado grant to help purchase a parcel of land at Seventh and Yampa streets to convert it into a pocket park could limit development on the parcel and ultimately prevent the construction of a much desired bridge over to Howelsen Hill.
Recommended Stories For You
"It would be a real stretch" to build the bridge if GOCO funds were used on the land, she said.
The construction of a stage or art installations on the parcel also could be prohibited because the grant funding would restrict development on the parcel to recreational amenities.
DelliQuadri said there could be other potential grants available to fund specific parts of the Yampa street scape including bike racks, benches and other infrastructure.
And what about the 16- to 24-foot sidewalk proposed to be part of the promenade?
DelliQuadri said the city has in the past used Colorado Department of Transportation funds to help construct the Yampa River Core Trail, but using that funding could be more limited on the promenade because it is proposed to be pedestrian only and not for bicycles.
The CDOT funds typically focus on creating new transportation routes that alleviate congestion on roads.
DelliQuadri also spent some time talking about how competitive the grant cycles are and how many pots of money, including from Great Outdoors Colorado, are shrinking.
Monday's lodging tax committee meeting wasn't without some optimism, however.
City staff outlined past and future Yampa Street projects.
Progress in 2013 included a lower speed limit and the successful implementation of reverse angle parking.
The projects slated for this year include an extension of the Core Trail from Backdoor Sports to Sweetwater Grill and some possible expansion of the new style of parking.
Planning Director Tyler Gibbs also talked about the long-term potential to turn the street into a more pedestrian-friendly amenity.
He said it may not be a "perfectly straight" and "pristine" street scape in the end, but that may be OK.
"We're going to have to be creative as we go along, and I think it's fine," Gibbs said. "In the end, it may make it more attractive and more fun."
The promenade project, including the possible pocket parks, will receive $900,000 worth of the city's lodging tax likely over the next three years.
The tax committee will meet again Feb 12 for a tour of Yampa Street.

In the last eight months alone, the company has inked deals with National Basketball Association rookies LeBron James ($90 million) and Carmelo Anthony ($15 million); NBA star Kobe Bryant ($45 million); tennis superstar Serena Williams ($40 million); 14-year-old U.S. soccer phenom Freddy Adu ($1 million); and Canadian world champion hurdler Perdita Felicien ($1 million).
Just do it. The math, that is. Total: $192 million over the next several years, not counting multimillion-dollar deals already in place with golf star Tiger Woods, football's Michael Vick, baseball's Derek Jeter, track's Marion Jones and soccer's Mia Hamm.
The signings and the expected ad campaigns-one featuring Mr. James has already started-hark back to Nike's glory days, when it parlayed endorsement contracts with Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson into huge sales and critically acclaimed commercials.
A Nike spokesman said the company does not discuss its strategies, but one sports-marketing expert said the Swoosh is reaching out to a different consumer. "While they're gobbling up the world's top athletes, unlike the `80s, they're selling to a new marketplace," said David Carter, president, Sports Business Group, Los Angeles. "Nike now has a vast global audience....You can see why signing a Freddy Adu or a Serena Williams speaks to a broader audience."
Nike estimated its total endorsement commitments for 2004 will be $338.6 million, 53.6% higher than the $220.3 million it paid out in 2003. Part of that is certainly due to the company's stunning financial successes. Nike's stock is up 60.1% since dropping to a 52-week low of $42.38 last February. By contrast, main competitor Reebok's stock is up 37%.
Last month, Nike announced second-quarter results, posting net income of $179.1 million, or 68¢ a share, up 18% from last year and beating analyst expectations of 61¢ a share. The company said future orders in the U.S. were up for the first time in six quarters, up 1%.
future orders up
Settling its dispute with athletic shoe chain store Foot Locker, which at one point had stopped stocking Nike, was key. Some of the $500 million in canceled wholesale orders are just now starting to restock Nike's coffers, one reason why Wells Fargo Securities analyst John Shanley thinks "the company is going to be in pretty good shape over the next several quarters."
It remains to be seen if Nike's endorsement deals will translate into the success it enjoyed with Air Jordans and the cross-trainers inspired by multi-sport star Bo Jackson. So far, results are promising. Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore., produced a humorous spot for Mr. James' Air Zoom Generation shoe featuring several basketball greats and actor/comedian Bernie Mac. When the sneaker made its debut Dec. 20, it sold 32% of its stock on the first day, completely selling out in seven of the 15 Niketown stores in the U.S.

Fielder, Tigers get it done in opener
Prince Fielder might not get the attention some of his Detroit Tigers teammates received for winning the season's first game.
But the clutch first baseman was the one most responsible for the smiles in Monday evening's postgame clubhouse.
Fielder went 2-for-4, knocked in a run, scored a run and saved a run — maybe several runs — by scooping a throw in the sixth inning.
The Tigers survived both the conditions — 35-degree temperature and 17 mph winds at first pitch — and the Minnesota Twins for a 4-2 Opening Day win at Target Field. It was a better day for the Iditarod, but you play in the conditions dealt you and find a way.
"We got one under our belt, and what I'm happiest about the temperature is going to be in the 50s on Wednesday. So that will be a little bit better for both teams," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
Justin Verlander, who did not get his first victory until April 16 last year, won on Opening Day for the first time in six tries, throwing five shutout innings.
Phil Coke picked up right where he left off in the postseason, getting the final two outs for his first save.
Right fielder Torii Hunter had hits in his first two at-bats as a Tiger and figured into the scoring in a two-run first inning.
Fielder supplied it all: offense (you expect that), defense (he's better than you think) and baserunning (instincts are everything).
He slapped an opposite-field double to score Miguel Cabrera in the first inning, and scored an all-important insurance run in the eighth by showing some guile.
Fielder hit a lead-off single and was on third with the bases loaded and two out after Alex Avila stranded him there by striking out.
Josh Roenicke came on to relieve Brian Duensing and threw a wild pitch that went through the five-hole of catcher Joe Mauer.
Fielder made a quick read on the ball, sprinted down the line and slid home to score.
Keep in mind that balls can ricochet very quickly off the brick wall behind home plate at Target Field. You can become a quick out trying to score on such plays there.
Fielder, however, had the instincts to make the play without great foot speed. Speed of mind is just as important, and sometimes even more important.
Fielder's biggest play was pretty much lost, but it saved Drew Smyly's shaky outing from becoming a potential disaster in the sixth inning.
After getting two quick outs, Smyly loaded the bases, giving up a double and walking a pair. Then one run scored on a wild pitch, and two runners remained in scoring position.
One-time Tigers prospect Wilkin Ramirez hit a ball to shortstop Jhonny Peralta's right. Peralta made the play, then one-hopped a low throw to first with the speedy Ramirez digging for a possible infield hit.
Fielder saved the day by scooping the ball cleanly, and Ramirez was out by a step and a half. Had that ball gotten away, the tying and go-ahead runs would have scored.
So chalk up this victory to Fielder, who could make a run at the American League MVP Award this season by doing more than driving in runs and launching homers.
Cabrera, the 2012 AL MVP, went 0-for-5 and didn't get a ball out of the infield. He did get an RBI on a fielder's choice grounder, but looked particularly miserable in the cold, donning a hooded shirt midway through the game and sticking his hands into his jersey to shield them.
Much will be made of Coke getting the save on a team without an anointed closer. But he also was the last man standing among closer candidates after Smyly (not so good), Al Alburquerque (got a big strikeout) and Joaquin Benoit (held down the fort) came on, beginning with the sixth inning.
There's something to be said about Leyland lining up his relievers with Coke at the end. But there's a long way to go before settling the hottest fan topic and closer debate.
"We did just what we told everybody we were going to be doing: We mixed and matched," Leyland said.
Coke, Verlander and Hunter were the feel-good stories.
But without Fielder, none of them would've been feeling very good. He was the difference against the Twins.

There have been all kinds of studies about how much kids can benefit from tablet computing, and a number of schools have already begun deploying iPads and other devices to students both young and old. But the Karuma PlayBase is clearly angling for a spot in youngsters' backpacks.
The PlayBase isn't as slim as the current crop of Android tablets designed for us big folks, but its large buttons and rounded edges are perfectly suited for the tykes. It also features the PlayCover, a rubberized, built-in stand and screen guard which keeps dirt, liquid, and scratches at bay when the PlayBase is left laying around or crammed into a knapsack.
Inside the PlayBase is hardware that puts it in the same ballpark as other low-priced Android tablets (like the Lenovo IdeaPad A1). It's got a 1.2GHz ARM Coretex A8 processor from RockChip, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, built-in Wi-Fi, 7-inch multitouch display, and a battery estimated to provide 5 hours of normal usage. It's also encased in metal, as opposed to the plastic backs you'll find on even some high-end Android tablets like the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
While the PlayBase is shipping with custom-themed Android Gingerbread on board, the company anticipates updating to Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future. A direct jump to ICS might make more sense, since it's due to arrive soon and Google has promised an AOSP release in short order.
Karuma's taking pre-orders in the UK starting on November 15th and the PlayBase sees full retail availability on December 1st — for £170 (about $270). Again, not quite competitive with the $199 Kindle Fire, but it's available outside the U.S. and you do get that nifty cover.

Schizocoelous pattern – Coelom
There are two patterns of coelom formation in animals schizocoelous and enterocoelous. In schizocoelous pattern, two teloblasts cells (primordial mesodermal cells) are given out from close to the blastopore. These proliferate into a pair of teloblastic bands. At first the bands are solid but later each splits forming a cavity within.
Figure: Development of Coelom - Schizocoelous origin
This cavity enlarges to form the coelom. Such a coelom is known as schizocoel and animal characterized by body cavities of this type are designated as schizocoelomates - For example annelids arthropods and molluscs.

The mission of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research and Regional Analysis group (TERRA-PNW) is to quantify and understand the response of terrestrial ecosystems to natural and human-induced changes such as climate, wildfire and land management practices. Our lab has diverse interests that share a common focus: understanding the dynamics of land-based ecological communities. Our insights into climate and disturbance effects on ecological processes and global change are generated primarily by research on forest, woodland and shrubland ecosystems.
Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum
The movement of energy and matter within and among ecosystems controls how these systems function and the services they provide. This area of concentration investigates the mechanisms controlling ecosystem behavior from a micro to a macro scale, including the impacts of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
Members of FES are studying the complexities of terrestrial ecosystems and the interactions between ecosystems and the atmosphere. One challenge is to quantify changes in biogeochemical cycles and forest characteristics, diagnose the causes of change, and develop predictions of how human activities may affect the global environment in the future. This involves understanding biogeochemical cycles from the scale of decomposing logs to the role of clouds in the ecological structure and function of forests.
Research - Major Advisors/Areas of Focus
The Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing in Ecology (LARSE) is a joint research effort of the USDA Forest Service, PNW Research Station, and the OSU College of Forestry's Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society. LARSE emerged from an array of related remote sensing research projects focused on terrestrial ecology problems.
This activity began in 1989 with a concentration on using digital imagery to characterize forest structure in the Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir/western hemlock zone. Within a few short years, Landsat-based maps of forest structure were being directly incorporated into ecological analyses and models operating at landscape to regional scales. LARSE regularly employs between 10 to 20 scientists in a variety of positions, including permanent staff, post-docs, faculty research assistants, graduate students, student workers, and international scholars. Also, there are a number of full-time scientists not directly supported by the Lab that actively collaborate on LARSE research projects.
We regularly use Landsat to characterize change across the full time series length from 1972-present, with a national focus across all lands and cover types. We were early adopters of lidar data to derive detailed forest structure characteristics, and developed innovative methods for scaling between field measurements and MODIS data using Landsat imagery. Because integration across datasets is the future of remote sensing applications in ecology, an important current focus is complementary blending of lidar, Landsat, MODIS, and other datasets.
Remaining firmly rooted to the ground, LARSE research routinely incorporates field data and our scientists maintain a strong connection to the ecosystems in which they work. Applications include monitoring of natural resources, modeling of carbon flux and biodiversity, and spatially explicit scaling of ecological measurements and knowledge. The scope of activities and data types used continue to expand.
The mission of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is to support research on forests, streams, and watersheds, and to foster strong collaboration among ecosystem science, education, natural resource management, and the humanities. Located in the western Cascade mountains of Oregon, the 16,000-acre site is administered cooperatively by Oregon State University, the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station, and the Willamette National Forest.
The Andrews Forest has been a US Forest Service Experimental Forest since 1948, and a National Science Foundation Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site since 1980. Facilities, including labs, offices, and housing, are available for research and workshop use. Researchers and graduate students interested in conducting work at the Andrews Forest are welcomed and encouraged—participants benefit from a rich data history and from collaborations across disciplines. See the Andrews Forest webpage, http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu, for ways to connect. Andrews Forest Facebook. Andrews Forest Newsletter. Andrews Forest webcam.
Professor Matthew Betts and his team studies the ways that landscape composition and pattern influence animal behavior, species distributions and ecosystem function. As humans are one of the primary drivers of landscape characteristics globally, much of their work is applied and focused on management and conservation. However, understanding mechanisms is key to generalization, so a central part of the research program is basic in nature and links landscape ecology to behavioral ecology, physiology, and molecular ecology.

Trade credit insurance (TCI)
TCI protects companies against losses caused by non-payment of enforceable domestic or foreign accounts receivable obligations. Depending on the policy, pre-shipment credit exposure may also be covered. Companies use TCI for a variety of reasons:
- Increase market share through the extension of open terms
- Facilitate accounts receivable or payable finance
- Mitigate risk and protect the balance sheet
- Obtain third-party feedback on obligor, industry, and country risks
- Increase leverage on obligors in default
- Increase confidence among investors, analysts, and banks
- Harmonize credit and collection practices across multiple divisions
Lenders may use TCI to cover purchased or factored receivables, support letter of credit confirmations, and to facilitate direct financing to end-customers.

It goes without saying that anyone who writes wants his words to be read, and my blogstats keeps me updated on how many people in what nations do that reading, but perhaps the greatest rewards for my efforts come in the form of an intelligent reply from some of those readers. Over the years, due to various posted comments and Emails, I have written several essays inspired by those who respond to my work. This is another such essay, and it is a response to a lady named Johanna.
A brief history of Johanna: She was born in communist dominated Poland a few years after World War II, and so she has 'been there and done that', speaking as an authority on what lies before us as this nation succumbs to the horrors of the communist state. As a teenager she was involved in an underground newspaper in her home country, and one cold night a friend was shot by the powers that be, and parts of his brain landed on her boots.
Later Johanna managed to get out of Poland and move to America. She loves this country, and fears for its future, as she sees us evermore ready to accept communism and the evil that it imposes on those who are foolish enough to fall for its promised equality. At the moment she is back in Poland caring for an ailing mother, but still remains a dedicated American, and thankfully a regular reader of my blogsite.
Her English grammar, while slightly less than perfect, still manages to convey the idea she hopes to get across, and in past comments has told me that Americans will never learn until they have lost everything. To that end she has stated, "Let it burn!"
My two most recent essays were 'Americans Want Communism; Parts One and Two'. Joanna commented on both. The following is her reply to Part One:
Americans do not know what communism means in a real day to day living.
The propaganda of equality made most people blind with sugar plums dancing in their heads of equal riches,
the collective mental ignorance is not allowing any history reading or listening so the truth of
equal poverty in a communism system is dismissed.
'Work harder, earn less to support your country'...that was the last communist party leader in Poland before I left...
Edward Gierek was saying: "Will you help to build your country?"
and everyone said:
Yes we will help !!!!
...from this deal he got mension with crystal chandaliers, silver grout between tiles, and luxuries rich Americans never yet come to imagine...
...and the workers hardly could afford their allowed rations of food...
that's how communism works:
Equal poverty for all!!!
Luxuries for few!!!
And from Part Two:
you have managed to deliver the perfect blow to my day.
I was born several years after the war in a communist Poland and in the best years of such system we were standing 4 or more hours to buy a pound of sugar, meat, flour....(1970's)
Before Christmas lines of people were forming in the evening in front of any grocery stores
(forget toys; few could afford such luxuries)
in hopes to get a sniff of an orange or chocolate bar...
Ever since I reside permanently in States (last 30 years)there is not a single day going by that I don't think about the 'taken for granded' attitude represented by all.
I guess my point is:
Let the chips fall where they may and see who will manage to get the point.
and the sooner the better !!!
It is a real SHAME that the greatest Country that ever was and its people are suffering from a serious case of attention deficit disorder.
Great articles you write and don't you ever stop!!!
As I mentioned above, Johanna has been there and done that. She knows already what most Americans are too ignorant to grasp.
I had to reply to her second comment, perhaps because of the remark about "a sniff of an orange or a chocolate bar". This is the only nation in the world where obesity is a major health concern among the poor. They are fools; not for being obese, but for having traded in tomorrow for today. Their mindless embrace of communism is not only selling out their own future, but the future of their descendants.
The following is my reply to a loyal reader and a patriotic American:
Joanna it is always good to hear from you, for you speak as an insider of a world that few here can imagine.
After Obama was first elected I started writing with an optimistic, though mistaken belief, that America would rise and defeat the evil that had gained control of this nation. I was mistaken. Our military should act; they will not. Our people should rise; they will not.
I keep watching as people look forward to next year's election, hoping to make a difference. The last election taught them nothing, and they will not learn from the next. There yet remains a handful of courageous political leaders but they are too few to make a difference. They speak brave and true words, but change nothing. 'Land of the Free' has become meaningless, and 'Home of the Brave' laughable.
Several times in the past you have written "Let it burn." and you are correct, for they will not know what they had until it has all been lost. When they stand defenseless and persecuted among the embers of what was once a free nation, they will wish in vain that they had taken a stand for liberty while they still could have.
I have watched many documentaries of WWII and one of the most tragic scenes was of a B17 with part of a wing blown off. It rolled over and, inverted, began spiraling toward the ground. The helpless crew was then pinned to the ceiling unable to exit the doomed aircraft. That is called a death spiral, and the United States is now in a death spiral, and most are not even aware of it.
I began writing in hopes of saving the nation I love. I have failed, but shall continue to write, but only to warn of the impending crash.
What I expressed above is why I chose the name 'Fix Bayonets' for my new website. Years ago I began writing with a sense of optimism that has faded. That a great struggle lies in our future I have no doubt, but I no longer perceive it be a unified effort on behalf of any noble ideals. I see no cavalry riding to the rescue at the last moment; only an act of desperation to stay alive as all that we have taken for granted crumbles about us.
A closing thought about patriots: It strikes me as odd that some of our greatest have been foreign born, but perhaps that is as it should be. They know what we do not even want to consider. Look at Jamie Glasov, managing editor of Front Page Magazine, born in Russia, desperately trying in vain to awaken this nation. Also from Front Page we have David Horowitz, while born in this country he was born to communist parents. He too heralds a dark future as the communist juggernaut gains power.
Trevor Louden is from New Zealand, and is a voice crying out in the wilderness. Ayn Rand, probably the greatest patriot of the 20th century was also born in Russia, and wrote to us from the wilderness. Nonie Darwish, born in Egypt, issues warnings of dangers we disregard. Brigette Gabriel is another who has been there and done that, and she is fighting a gallant battle for the land she has come to love.
My friend Johanna is certainly on a long and distinguished list of foreign born patriots who love and try to defend the nation that our people are voting away, for a damn cell phone and food stamps.
Johanna, it will burn, and when the flames die out, so too will the last light of liberty. May God have mercy on these poor stupid fools, for they know not what they do.

Anthem (Short story by Ayn Rand...free online)
2 comments:
You reminded me of something that for me was as a given ...
but may express also other people feelings as well:
My late husband was a HUGE fan of a baseball game and so we attended all Cleveland Indians home games.
I was always sitting at his left so he was able to place his left arm over me and calm me down while our National Anthem was performed...
Once it was over I could not settle down being outraged with all the hot dogs and beer flying around and could not understand (still can not) such disregard...
Often my husband said:
'I just wish half of Americans would love the country as much as you do'...
...and than 9/11 happened
the first game afterwards was a dream!!!
We were asked to rise ..the Anthem was played...
...and there was not a single person that I could see without tears flowing freely down their cheeks and their hand placed on their heart...
singing all along...
...a tragedy pulled all Americans together...
that's what we need?
another tragedy more audiable and more visable than the one happening right in front of us for all to see??Replies
We will get that tragedy, but this time all of the pieces will be in place and it will be followed by a government clampdown.Delete

As a society, we prefer to focus on negative elements instead of the positive. This is especially true in the realm of personal feelings. We focus so much on negative feelings that we lose sight of how to learn and grow from them.
Each feeling has a positive and a negative aspect and usually results from an action either we or someone close to us made. How we perceive these feelings is entirely up to us, whether to focus on the positive or the negative. None of us want to waste time or energy on destructive feelings but instead use that energy to effortlessly change ourselves for the better. Rarely do we realize this, instead just passively "going with the flow."
Realizing when negative feelings arise whenever something happens is a skill that takes time and practice to develop. Usually when we are experiencing negative feelings, we are at our weakest. Negative feelings arise whenever we blame ourselves for the inherent effects from a choice that we made. None of us go out with the intent to hurt others, but life and people are complex things which no one is perfectly able to predict. We only wish to do right by ourselves but unfortunately our individual paths may contradict another's. Instead of seeing a mistake for what it is, we focus that blame into a form of self-hate, further fueling the negative feelings.
Whenever a negative feeling arises, give it a name: "I feel guilty because I made someone else regret a decision that they made after offering my opinions on it." By naming these feelings, we can associate the positive aspect to the same feeling in order for it to become constructive: "I must let people make their own decisions and only offer my opinions when asked. When I offer my opinions, I must caveat that I realize what would be best for me may not be the best for them. We are all different."
Depending on the situation in which the negative feelings arise, this can either be a quick fix or a long-term dilemma that we have to resolve. For more difficult situations and the longer we spend on them, the more susceptible we are to revert back to negative feelings. Pause, take a step back, breathe… Nothing is ever so critical that it needs to be resolved right this moment. We are more than our emotions and if we take a short break from them we can refocus our efforts with a clearer mind.
There is always a positive aspect to the situations and feelings we encounter and lessons and growth to be had from them. For our feelings, we can choose how we let ourselves be affected by them. Positive mind, positive vibes, positive life…
