My head was up there today.
I took 1, 786 digital photos during my job today, so I'm running behind tonight on home things and need to help the kids study for tests tomorrow.
But I had a hard time concentrating the entire day. My writer friend liked my chapters, contacted her agent, who wanted to see some of it. I sent it last night.
Then, I had a request for a full this morning from a different agent!!
The hubby went into work with me to try and help me figure out a way to make this photo job go more quickly–so I can get back to my (at least!) three writing days a week, and he said I went from giddy-doesn't-need-coffee… to spacing out regularly, to a killer attack of nerves at lunch. heh heh
So, right now, I have partials with four agents and a full with one.
I really, really hope one of them loves my odd book. 😉

What About Us?
By Charlie Hoffmann
Photo: © Can Stock Photo Inc. / Kurhan
From a service perspective, the Borough of Fair Haven's Recreation Department in New Jersey faced a small conundrum in regard to adult programming. The quaint, riverfront town had many opportunities for youngsters to enjoy; similarly, seniors had a wide range of activities to choose from, including fitness classes, trips, and shopping, with various interest groups, such as gardening, crafts, and card games. By comparison, few opportunities were geared toward adults ages 25 to 65. Someone noted that the average adult residents are paying the tax bill, certainly not the children and, in many cases, not the senior citizens. One gentleman reminded me that his municipal tax contribution was quite considerable, and he had no children or any senior citizens in his household. After some thought, I felt his point was both well-made and fair. Why should all of the programming emphasis be on the very young and (frankly) the old? Were we neglecting an enormous and obvious sector of the population?
We needed to take action!
The first step was to form a focus group, which included a few informal meetings with committee members as well as several other adults who were asked to participate. I "bribed" the group with the best Portuguese food I could find in exchange for their ideas and insights. The group agreed there needed to be more activities for the "moms and dads" of the community. By the time we finished our Caldeirada (Portuguese seafood), we had some new programming options, and were excited to start. Some of the most successful programs are listed below.
From Couch To 5k
One of the first programs added was a Couch to 5k run (3.1 miles). In the past few years, recreational running has experienced a terrific increase in participation not seen since the Steve Prefontaine/Frank Shorter phenomenon of the early 1970s. The goal is for adults to train for and complete a 5k race (training begins in early April and ends with the run in June). The group meets on Mondays and Wednesdays, and participants are given a "homework assignment" to be completed over the weekend. The beauty of the class is that it encompasses all ability levels, including folks who have not exercised in many years. Each class includes a handout, a warm-up, a group run, and a cool-down. The atmosphere is informal with everyone cracking jokes and maintaining an upbeat attitude. The first day features only a few seconds of running mixed with plenty of walking. The class progresses to include more running and less walking over time. After the race, many of the participants continue running, with some participating in triathlons and even marathons. The class is exceptionally rewarding, as self-proclaimed "non-runners" are transformed into runners who will enjoy the sport for years to come.
Run Around The Country
"Run Around the Country" has followed on the success of the 5k program. Essentially, any adult who is walking or running regularly is encouraged to email their distances to the rec department. Each week, a spreadsheet is updated that tracks how far participants have run from town. For instance, the Delaware state border is 94 miles away. So "Welcome to Delaware" certificates are given to participants who reach the 94-mile mark. Additional certificates are presented as runners log additional miles. There are hundreds of adults currently involved in this program. One participant has run from New Jersey south to Florida and east to Louisiana (almost to Texas). The program is easy to manage and does not cost a penny (certificates are emailed). A friendly, competitive spirit is present as participants strive to reach the next state, or record specific distance goals.
Soapbox Series
To stimulate residents' minds as well as their muscles, the soapbox series was created. This is another event that has no cost, and is relatively easy to implement. The department simply fills the community center with speakers who talk on a variety of interesting topics geared toward adults. Each session is approximately an hour with 15 minutes of questions and answers. Speakers include local authors, medical personnel, cyber-security experts, artists, college-admissions counselors, nutritionists, historians, and more. The public is always welcome to suggest other speakers that they may want to hear. Presenting the talks monthly on a consistent night (such as the first Thursday) has proven to be successful.
Sounds At Sunset
Since Fair Haven is located on a gorgeous river, the rec department wanted to capitalize on its beauty, and so the very successful Sounds at Sunset Summer Concert Series was begun. The newly refurbished municipal pier serves as the perfect setting to enjoy music and camaraderie with the neighbors as the sun sets on the river. These events are specifically aimed at adults because the bands often play music from the 1980s and 1990s. Additionally, a craft activity for kids is held at the far end of the pier, giving adults a chance to enjoy the concert while their children are entertained.
Mother/Son Brunch
The Father/Daughter Dance has always been successful, so the department wanted to find a "Mom-equivalent" event, thus the Mother/Son Champions Brunch was created. The event is open to mothers with a son in grades 1 through 6. It includes a delicious brunch as well as a meet-and-greet with local celebrities, such as high-school athletes, firemen, policemen, the mayor, construction workers, and a representative from the U.S. Army. While the program gives young boys an opportunity to meet local heroes, mothers appreciate some quality time with their sons. They are also given a picture of them as well as a complimentary flower for their participation.
Adult Component To Community-Focused Events
In an effort to add an adult activity to community-focused family events, massages and manicures have been added on the last day of week-long mother/child art classes. The complimentary adult services are administered while the children create a craft project in another room. This surprise was also extremely easy to facilitate and sparked plenty of exceptional feedback.
Camp Out
Another example of deliberately designing programming for "non-senior adults" occurs during the town-wide camp-out. Conducted every summer, the camp-out draws hundreds of residents as they pitch a tent in the park and spend the night gazing into the picturesque summer sky. Before participants drift off to sleep, the recreation department provides several activities, including a camp fire, a DJ with contests, and s'mores (cooked by the staff). A "mandatory" kids-only meeting and scavenger hunt are held, which gives parents/adults nearly an hour of free time while their children are supervised by recreation department staff. This small token of courtesy has been especially well-received by the parents.
Incorporating more leisure-focused programming for adults is an important facet of recreational planning that is often overlooked. Input from this population should be sought as to their leisure-related objectives. Similarly, many existing programs can often be tweaked or varied to include a more enjoyable experience for this demographic. Adults have busy schedules with limited time to devote to their recreational pursuits; therefore, programs should be meticulously planned and carefully implemented. This approach will create a culture of great participation and gratitude among the adults in the community.

42 Clients Win SeaPort-e Awards!/
Congratulations to all the new prime contract holders, and a special "well done!" to the 42 Iona Moon clients who won using the SeaPort-e Proposal Toolkit this year! The awards, released yesterday by the Navy, added 333 new prime contractors and increased the competitive pool of large and small businesses vying for task orders across 22 functional areas. The number of awards reflects recent Department of Defense cutbacks--a 40% decrease from 2010 totals. "We expected a decrease in submissions this year, based on the volume of inquiries to our offices," said Lee Moon, Iona Moon president, "Our clients are mostly small businesses that must judiciously manage resources. We are pleased to help them improve their competitive position and realize growth objectives even amid defense spending cuts."
SeaPort-e is a $5.6 billion-dollar-per-year multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (MAC IDIQ) contract vehicle for Navy and Marine Corps services. The full list of awarded companies is available at the Defense Department's news website.
Iona Moon has won SeaPort-e prime contract awards for over 150 companies since 2005.

Friends with Benefits with ex-husband
Read more Relationship Advice and Dating Advice about being with ex.
Dear Guys,
My ex husband and I have been divorced for almost six years. He broke up with his much younger girlfriend about two years ago, who is also the girl he cheated with while we were married.
A year ago he asked me if I wanted FWB. I agreed. It's been a little over a year that we have been doing this. He talks about having sex until we are old. He isn't looking for anyone. He says I fulfill his needs. We have four children together who have no idea we do this. The children are 15-20 years of age. He reminisces everyday with me. He says I'm the best he's ever had. He now is wanting to take me out "just to drink" then have sex. He says it's like the good times we had. He says he cares about me but doesn't love me. Last time we had sex he begged me to tell him that I love him during and he made the comment that we are now making love not just sex. He says he doesn't want me to get hurt and that we can end this any time I want. He is okay with that. Yet he says if I have a boyfriend he will still try to have sex with me. Does he really want just FWB? Is he trying to have something more but scared? Is this a self-esteem issue?
Dear Cathy,
We're curious. Why did you agree to a FWB with your husband? Are you hoping to rekindle what you had?
Understand that guys propose Friends with Benefits because they want to have sex without the "complications" of a relationship. It's a way for them to get their needs met and still keep their independence. For some guys it's a perfect situation.
Women, on the other hand, often agree to a FWB arrangement because they believe something might develop from it. (At least from our experience answering questions.) In your case Cathy, you need to listen to his words. He doesn't want to get remarried. He doesn't want to begin a committed relationship with you. He wants your company, he wants to have sex with you, he likes the fact that the two of you have a history—it makes it safe and comfortable—and he likes the fact that the two of you can talk about your kids together, almost as if you were a family again, but not quite. However, he also likes that he has some control over you. His statement, "Even if you have a boyfriend I'll still try to have sex with you" is his way of flexing his proverbial muscles, letting you know that he is the alpha no matter what you do, or who you are with.
Is this a self-esteem issue? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Sometimes men will cheat because they have a self-esteem issue. They need to know they are desirable to many women. Then again, some men cheat just because the opportunity arises, and they are no longer committed to their partner.
It seems that you still love your ex-husband, or are certainly open to trying again, but we don't get the sense the two of you are on the same page. Have you talked to him about this? He keeps telling you that you can end it anytime. What do you say to that? Another thing to consider is his prior indiscretions. You said he cheated on you while you were married. Have you forgiven him for that? What makes you think that wouldn't happen again if you got back together?
By agreeing to a FWB arrangement, you've put yourself in an emotional holding pattern. It may be fun, it may feel comfortable, it may give you hope, but if it's not going anywhere we don't think it's a great place for you. You need to decide what you want Cathy and then talk with him about it. If you truly want to work your way back to being with your ex-husband we suggest you have a heart-to-heart conversation with him. If he waffles, or says he's not sure, that's a pretty good indicator that he knows but doesn't want to say.
If you have follow-up questions or comments, please leave below in the comments' section. (You must be Logged In to do so because of all the SPAM we get.)
ps. We hope you'll spread the word about our site. Thanks.

How Crowne Plaza's Innovative New Menus Are Energizing Business TravelersApril 17th, 2019 Posted by Chad Wienczkowski New at Crowne Plaza 0 comments on "How Crowne Plaza's Innovative New Menus Are Energizing Business Travelers"
Today's business travelers aren't just attending meetings and going to their hotel room to sleep. They are making the most of their trips – sightseeing, meeting up with friends and relatives, and immersing themselves in the local culture.
Recognizing the importance of inspiration and restoration for these travelers, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts has launched a new food & beverage solution across 79 U.S. hotels. The program includes new menus for lunch, dinner, bar and in-room dining, designed with today's business traveler in mind.
Since its launch, hotel operators have seen improvements in guest satisfaction scores and revenue. Now in its second phase, the program is building on signature items from 2018 with new offerings. Key elements of the program include:
Elevated Culinary Options
Whether they're dining in the bar, restaurant, or in the comfort of their room, guests will enjoy a high-quality meal. The new core menu offers contemporary American cuisine with innovative entrees and salads, as well as shareable plates designed to enhance the bar experience. A few standout dishes include the BBQ Bacon Jack Burger and the savory Cuban sandwich.
A Happier Happy Hour
Sometimes the mojito is as important as the meeting. Guests can discover a new local beer during their team brainstorm. Or they can raise a signature cocktail, such as the Crowned Jewel Moscow Mule, to the close of a successful deal.
"New Modern" Menu Design
To ensure Crowne Plaza guests have a consistently superior experience no matter which hotel they visit, the program includes one required "core menu," accompanied by customizable templates for each location. Options include a Chef's Favorite menu to highlight up to five local items, a dessert menu, a Late Night Room Service menu and a Kids' menu.
Exceptional Training & Support
The key to a positive experience lies in extraordinary service. Crowne Plaza employees are trained to think about and treat our guests differently, getting to know them on a genuine, personal level and offering differentiated service.
At Crowne Plaza, food is more than just fuel – it's a source of inspiration and relaxation, done on guests' terms.

I'm off to see Tindersticks tonight. It will be my first gig in a while. I hope it's good. They generally put on a great live performance, but I didn't enjoy the new album as much as I'd hoped I would. I'll listen to it later and try and get into it.
Sorry this site hasn't been working the last couple of days. You should now be able to read the reviews ok without any ugly error messages.
Scott Walker: 'The Moviegoer' (LP; Contour; 1972)
Show Details
This is a very special Scott album to me. Scott chooses some of his favorite songs from films, and comes up with a list including titles by Ennio Morricone, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, John Barry and Michel Legrand. Not only was the guy a genius, he had great taste as well... Perhaps due to the nature of the material, Scott sounds more like a Sinatra-like crooner on this album than on his earlier solo albums, and this doesn't deliver quite the solid genius I was hoping for. There are a couple of country styled tracks which don't appeal to me that much. Overall, it's still very enjoyable though.
The opener is a great vocal version of John Barry's brilliant 'This way Mary'. The only other vocal version I know of is by Matt Monroe, and Scott's version, a moody, heartfelt piece with strings, surpasses this. The mood is similar on 'Come Saturday Morning'; the string arrangements are wonderful, and sound like they could have come from any of Scott's late 60s solo sessions. Other highlights are 'Loss of Love' from Mancini's 'Sunflower' score, Morricone's 'the ballad of Sacco and Vanetti' ( wish Scott had sung more Morricone stuff...) and 'That night' from Lalo Schifrin's 'The Fox'.
Tindersticks: 'Can our love...' (CD; Beggars Banquet; 2001)
Show Details
This is a pleasant enough album, but immediately, it appeals to me slightly less than 1999's 'simple pleasure'; the production is a little less smooth and to my taste. Some of the songs are a little over-long, but it's still nice dark, meditative pop. My favorite tracks are 'dyin slowly', 'sweet release', 'chilitetime' and 'don't ever get tired', but my main feeling on first/second listen is just of indifference. It's not bad, and it's not good...
Probably my least favorite track is 'people keep comin around', an overlong, and slightly monotonous piece. I've heard those simple violin parts in so many Tindersticks songs now that I've grown tired of them. 'tricklin' is a short experimental piece. I'm really not one to talk after my crappy 'Impossible Music' album, but this ends up coming across as lazy filler material, particularly next to some of the great songs they've written. 'Can our love...' is pleasant enough, with a funny twangy effect on the guitar. The song showcases the soulful mood of Tindersticks again - it's simple, slow and quite charming, with backing vocals and a repetitive chorus. 'Sweet Release' has a great blend of acoustic guitar, organ, violin and vocals, and is pretty cool, in spite of its repetition and 9 minute length. Still, I think I might make myself a 'radio edit'; the song doesn't really do anything special to justify that length. 'Don't ever get tired' is a bit more like it at 3:07. It's charming, if unremarkable, sounding quite a lot like the band's early work. 'no man in the world' opens with the singer Stuart doing some talking. This never works well for me, just because frankly I don't think he sounds very cool. Sorry to be fickle, but I'm very big on talking in songs (my personal favorite song-talkers are Julian Cope ('jellypop perky jean', Nick Cave ('foi na cruz'), even Skeeter Davis ('the end of the world')). Stuart just doesn't quite cut it. To be fair though, it turns into a nice song. The final song, 'chilitetime', opens promisingly, with organ and a cool electric guitar. It soon relapses into the same pattern as most of the rest of the album though - repetition, long songs, nice instrumentation, very simple chords. I'm afraid that after listening to this album I feel similar to how I felt after hearing Nick Cave's 'The Boatman's Call' - it's nice enough, but not interesting enough musically to really sustain my interest.

Though I'm not always a fan of chocolate cake, I do love the idea of a peppermint mocha-inspired Christmassy treat – and I think this Martha Stewart recipe provides just the excuse to add a bit of peppermint extract into the icing (or batter, for even more of a kick!). I decorated these cupcakes with edible markers and wafer paper to resemble the spinning wheel in Oogie Boogie's lair.
Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes
¾ c unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ c all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ c unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ c sour cream
2¼ c confectioners' sugar
¼ c unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
9 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
3/4 cup sour cream
Peppermint extract (if desired)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
Into a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each, then beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour.
Pour batter into cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool in pan 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then spread with Easy White Icing using a table knife or small offset spatula. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
Sift together sugar, cocoa, and salt.
Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Reduce speed to medium-low; gradually add sugar-cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Pour in chocolate in a slow, steady stream. Add sour cream and peppermint extract; beat until combined.

Writing ebooks – Me ? a writer? yeah right…
When I read about the possibility of making passive income by writing ebooks, I could not help but chuckle to the idea. Me? a writer? yeah right… I mean, I always loved reading and I was not so bad at dissertation assignments. But to actually share my writing with the world, that was unfathomable.
Now I make around 2500€ per month from my books
I would like to walk you through the macro process I took to start this venture. Of all my passive income strategies listed in this article, writing is actually the one that I believe will save me from a life of modern slavery.
I would like to point out first that English is not my mother tongue, nor is it the first language I learned in school… Yet I managed to publish 5 books that enjoy a nice readership in the english community. I want to put it out there to reassure people with a similar background: Yes it can be done.
It is not as hard as you may think
The secret is to write about something you are good at, or something you know that others do not. Maybe something that you lived that people enjoy listening to.
If you do not have such stories yet, look for them, travel, learn new skills, experience life and give it a try again in a couple of months. That's the most precious advice anybody gave me.
I remember doing the exercice of listing everything I was good at:
- Editing pictures
- Playing music
- My current job: computer programming
- A bit of writing
- Talking in public
Discovering my niche
It might sound weird to list my current job as one my strenghts, but I actually am pretty solid on my feet in my day job. I work in a very niche field of computer science and I managed to develop a certain expertise in the matter.
I thought back about the books I read about programming a few years back and wondered: "what can I write about this subject that had not been previously covered?". Or to phrase it more accurately "How can I make the book closer to real life programming?"
The answer came to me a couple of minutes later. It was so simple: I will write a book that describes in detail how a programming project is done. From the first meeting with the project leader to the last validaiton test you perform.
The book will teach people programming in a practical way, by drawing from real life experience with its inconsistencencies, idiosyncrasies, delays, constraints, and of course programming techniques and tricks. Forget about old theoritical programming books that teached everything about C++ or Java from A to Z, this was to be the real deal!
That's it. My pitch was done!
I just vomitted everything I knew about the subject in a draft
I fired up Word and drafted a small table of contents. Each day after work, I would sit down, write a paragraph, a couple of pages, whatever my inspiration that night. Some days I would just read back what I wrote and spend 20 minutes rephrasing a paragraph or reworking the scenario for instance.
Three months later, I submitted my first book to an editor I found on upwork.com. One week after that I published the finished version on Amazon KDP.
I priced it at first at $3.99 (with 70% margin), gave it away for free the first two days and advertised it on many computer programming mailing lists.
That's the best about writing abour your field of expertise. You know where to find people to sell the book to.
That first month of February I sold 281 copies (ebook + print book) and it has increased ever since :
A few months later…
Now I have 3 ebooks published + 2 short ebooks + 2 translated versions, priced around $6.99 for ebooks and 16,99 for the print versions. All of them follow the same concept of real life programming scenarios. I have mostly positive reviews on Amazon (every book as a couple of 1 star reviews lurking in the comment section of course. It is as unavoidable as the junior acne…).
But one thing I was sure of. I finally made a huge step toward a life without a steady salary, and it feels awesome.

Johann Zarco returns to Jerez this weekend eager to improve upon his impressive fourth place finish at last year's Spanish GP.
The then rookie Zarco finished as the top Yamaha rider at Jerez in 2017 after a memorable race that saw him hold a podium place for a large portion of the contest before he eventually finished behind Dani Pedrosa, Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo.

— Monster Yamaha Tech3 (@Tech3Racing) April 26, 2018
This year, the 27-year old Frenchman, is keen to do even better.
"We're back to Europe with the Spanish GP in Jerez, a track, that I think everybody likes and I enjoy it, too. I've got some great memories from last year and I want an even better souvenir this year," said Zarco.
"I feel the bike well and after Texas I needed some time to get along with the jetlag, which was quite difficult this time. It took me two days to have the full energy during the day back, but now I feel ready enough and I'm just happy to be back on my bike.
The Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider currently lies in fourth place in the standings on 38 points, just eight behind leader Andrea Dovizioso.
"I'll try to push the Yamaha in the right way to fight for the victory, if we are able to do so. Let's trust in the victory and the podium and wait and see what happens."

ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4)– A mother, battling breast cancer, is getting help feeding her newborn. The Mothers' Milk Bank (MMB) is supplying the family with human donor milk.
Experts agree breast milk is best for babies for the first 6 months of life. Sarah Pearson, now undergoing chemotherapy, wanted the benefits for her newborn, Ava.
(credit: Sarah Pearson)
Little Ava is 8-weeks-old and up four pounds. She is thriving on just breast milk, but it's not her mother's.

"I really wanted Ava to start out life with breast milk, if she could," Pearson told CBS4 Health Specialist Kathy Walsh.
But Pearson is fighting breast cancer. She was diagnosed when she was six months pregnant. While Ava grew, her mother was treated with chemotherapy.

"Everybody reassured me they'd done their research and these kinds were perfectly safe," explained Pearson.
Ava was born one week early and perfectly healthy.

"She just was our little miracle," said her doting mother.
Pearson, 34, breastfed her two older children, Kael and Haddie. Potent chemotherapy drugs ruled it out this time. But the mother of three was determined.
CBS4 Health Specialist Kathy Walsh interviews Sarah Pearson (credit: CBS)
"It just has great stuff in it, it's easy on their system," she said about breast milk.
Pearson turned to donated breast milk for her baby girl.

"She took it like a champ, she loved it," said Pearson.
MMB has provided the Pearson's with a 2-month supply for free through their Charity Care Program.
"Anything we can do to help others, that's why we're here," said Laraine Lockhart Borman, MMB Director of Outreach.
(credit: CBS)
"Just one less thing in the list of worries or stressors," said a grateful Pearson.
And just one more way Pearson believes she's been blessed.
"For going through a hard journey, it's as good as it can be, so you feel blessed. You feel like you're being watched over and helped and taken care of," she said.
Sarah Pearson with Ava (credit: CBS)
Pearson has chemotherapy, surgery and radiation ahead, but she is grateful to her doctors, family and friends and MMB.
The supply of donated breast milk gets low around the holidays, so donations are appreciated.
Sarah Pearson (credit: CBS)
MMB is a nonprofit program of Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation. MMB collects, processes and provides human donor milk to babies across the country.
Babies who receive the milk may be premature or have severe illnesses and need human milk to thrive. MMB consistently provides more milk to NICUs than any other nonprofit milk bank in North America and adheres to the strict guidelines of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA).

Chinese Economy, Visa and Mastercard, PG&E CEO: CEO Daily for January 14, 2019
Good morning.
Two excellent columns over the weekend, both by conservative-leaning columnists, that deserve your attention.
The first is by David Brooks in The New York Times, citing Tucker Carlson's "now famous rant on Fox News…that American elites are using ruthless market forces to enrich themselves and immiserate everyone else." (You can watch Carlson's fascinating New Year monologue here. But fair warning: it's 15 minutes long, an eternity in TV news time.)
The other is by Gerald Baker in The Wall Street Journal, focusing on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who he says may be "one of the most important political figures of our age" — despite her "inexperience, knowledge gaps and alarmingly ahistorical belief in impossible ideologies."(For another version of this theme, read Edward Luce in yesterday's FT.)
What the columns underscore is the still-building forces on both sides of the political aisle challenging the existing economic order. There's a sense that, as Baker puts it, "old nostrums of free-market, growth-maximizing economic efficiencies" no longer appeal to a broad swath of Americans. "Capitalism itself is in a strange place. On the one hand, it's impossible to dispute that the market-oriented liberalization of the world economy over the last 50 years has produced perhaps the most explosive growth in prosperity in human history. But in the West we are profoundly ill at ease, not just with the widening inequalities it produces but with capitalism's limitations in answering deeper human needs."
Brooks rejects Carlson's simplistic diagnosis (it's the greedy bankers' fault) and provides a more subtle — and more accurate — alternative. American corporations over the last half-century made a shift from serving multiple stakeholders — customers, employees, the towns in which they are located — to giving primacy to the shareholder. In the process, "we switched to a purely economic lens" and "turned off the moral lens… A deadly combination of right-wing free-market fundamentalism and left-wing moral relativism led to a withering away of moral norms and shared codes of decent conduct."
The good news is that a growing number of business leaders recognize, and agree, with what Brooks and Baker are saying. Capitalism is at a turning point, and those running the show face an urgent need to demonstrate they can do a better job serving society.
The bad news is that the political system may be fraying faster than far-sighted business leaders can repair it.
More news below.

Top News
Chinese Economy
Chinese exports suffered a 4.4% year-on-year fall in December, which was worse than expected. Imports fell by 7.6%, pointing to softening domestic demand. Both provided the worst results for China since 2016, and they arguably suggest a weakening hand in Beijing's trade tussle with Washington. Speaking of which, China's trade surplus with the U.S. hit a record $323.3 billion last year. Bloomberg
Visa and Mastercard
China supposedly opened its payments markets to outside players in 2017, but although Visa and Mastercard submitted applications to participate over a year ago, the People's Bank of China has ignored them. Perhaps more evidence of informal barriers that block foreign competition. Financial Times
Geisha Williams has resigned as CEO of PG&E, the Californian power utility that could face bankruptcy after sparking many wildfires. The lucky new interim CEO is general counsel John Simon, who will get to deal with liability suits and regulatory calls for a breakup. Wall Street Journal
Ford Assurance
Ford CEO Jim Hackett has reassured the automaker's U.S. workers that their jobs are secure, despite the company cutting back its European workforce. "I'm confirming that there's no blue collar cuts in the offing," Hackett said. "So the promise to the folks in the factory floor is that we keep the economy strong, because that's the issue that can threaten their employment… but the design of the business isn't threatening that at all."

UBS Advice
UBS insists that there's still money to be made in the stock market before a recession hits. "You have to stay invested, whatever your risk tolerance can bear," claimed Mark Haefele, UBS Global Wealth Management's global chief investment officer. CNBC
EU Taxation
The European Commission wants to get rid of member states' vetoes over its taxation initiatives, which currently require unanimity to move ahead. Guess what stands in the way: the veto. To get its new plan in motion, the Commission needs to trigger a clause in the EU treaty that itself requires unanimity among the 28 (maybe soon to be 27) EU countries. Politico
Sterling Week
The U.K.'s pound is steady at the moment, but everyone's bracing for a turbulent week. Tomorrow the British parliament will most likely reject Theresa May's negotiated Brexit settlement, and let's see what happens next. The most likely scenario is that she asks the EU for an extension of the "Article 50" period that leads up to Brexit—and she'll probably get it—but she may take her time in making that request. FXStreet
Moon Flower
China will try to grow a flower on the moon within a 100-day experimental period. The Chang'e 4 spacecraft that it managed to land on the dark side of the moon is carrying a cylinder that contains silkworm eggs and potato and cress seeds. Apart from growing those plants, the aim is to get the silkworms through a full life cycle. South China Morning Post

There is just something about being around newborns...they make everyone around them smile and be filled with pure joy and endless love. I am always in awe of their perfect little toes, fingers, lips, etc. Documenting these sweet moments fills my heart with such gratitude because this stage in their life passes by so quickly and I just love to make these moments still with my camera. I have a huge passion in capturing these authentic moments between newborns and new parents. William Frederick Parkman was such a joy to be around with and such an honor to photograph. I truly believe that life begins when you create a family.

College-Ish: COLLEGE MOVE-IN DAY SURVIVAL GUIDE
When I first moved into my dorm room in September of 2014, I remember how much of a hot mess my move-in day was. I was not prepared for the chaos that move-in day is, keep in mind, I am international so I moved my whole life. There was also no guides or check lists that I could have seen that might have prepared me and I honestly wished I had someone who could guide me through that process. That is where I come in!! As a RA (Residential Assistant) and a senior in College, I have been through six move-in days and I have seen everything under the sun so go get some popcorn, put on some comfy socks (I love socks) and let's dive into my tips for move-in day!
Move-in day is a whole lot of craziness so my first advice to you would be to BE PUNCTUAL. A lot of Universities give allotted time slots for move-in day and these times are set for a reason. Make sure you are arriving at the time allotted to you and be efficient in getting your stuff unloaded. Coming early or late throws everyone off schedule and before you know it, the lines are backed up and you are struggling with your boxes at 4pm that evening instead of 10am in the morning...yes that happens. So, make sure you are watching the time the entire day, and you are punctual. When I moved in, I dismissed my move-in time and ended up struggling all day to move-in. I got in a lot of peoples ways and ended up being late to my first program. The result: me struggling by myself to move-in and I also lost first pick of space in my room which sucked.
This is one of the most important things you will need to ensure your move-in goes as smooth as possible. At my university, carts are provided along with huge cardboard boxes but this isn't common in a lot of universities so make sure you are prepared. Lifting your heavy fridge or television can get you hot and sweaty and ruin the flow of move-in process so make sure you account for that and pack accordingly. My dolly was amazing because it made it easier for me to transport all my heavier items without breaking my back.
take a breather
If you are early and you have finally moved all your stuff into your room, make sure to take a breather. Drink some water and take a snack or eat a granola bar. You do not want to start arranging and moving stuff around after you just lugged all your stuff up the elevators or worse, the stairs! It is important for you to stay calm and breathe. This is the beginning of something amazing and you want to make sure you are starting your journey relaxed. If you do begin to freak out about this process, make sure to talk to someone. Most Universities have their RA's walking around or older students helping, stop someone and say Hi! It won't hurt and they are probably amazing people who would love to talk to you and make you feel welcome!
Most dorm rooms come with furniture and if you like how it is arranged then keep it that way and start moving! But, if you don't, make sure you re-arrange it before you start moving your stuff in so you get that out of the way and you don't struggle with having all your stuff in the way. When I got into my dorm room, I loved how the room was arranged so immediately started putting up most of my stuff but then my roommate showed up and hated it, so I had to wait for her to change it the way she wanted and continued moving. What can I say... I am super nice :)
I know our parents can be super annoying during move-in day but enjoy it, they too are going through several emotions. I know I wish my mum was there when I was moving in. Re-assure your parents that you are going to be okay and take as many pictures as you can. Document your move-in process and your first day of college, those memories will last a lifetime.
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have seen people struggle with all the stuff they bring from home that don't fit in their room. We seem to forget that dorm rooms are super small! Pack lightly at least from the beginning and you can always go shopping or go back home (if you live close) to get some more stuff. It makes the packing easier for you and lets you have more space in your dorm room.
With all the craziness that is move-in make sure you soak it all in! Take some time to look around, smile at every other person moving in, make conversation and be positive. Do not stress about not having everything done. Go out, meet new people and make sure you start your college career on the right note!
That's it guys! My little college move-in day advice. Let me know in the comments if you think I missed anything!
Now Go Forth and MOVE!!!!!

I finally found LED brake light bulbs that will work in my Miata! I'm so stoked!
That car has a strange socket wiring that does not work with most led bulbs, but these ones do.
I love LED bulbs, and I think they are especially important in brake lights. I'm very excited. You can probably tell.
I also got a pair that I think will fit my fog lights after a little modification. Not too many days left this year for fun car stuff though.

The practice of Astrology in the modern society has become the hot trend that urges many spiritual believers to experience it at least once throughout the life-span. Via the astral observation based on dates of birth or Zodiac signs, the so-called Astrologers can disclose the hidden facts about someone on Earth associated with their destined future. So, how accurate is Astrology? As the science studying the relationship between planetary motions and earthly events, Astrology is said to be accurate in general. Of course, the level of accuracy is changeable due to many factors.
Factors Influence Accuracy of Astrology
First of all, the tradition of Astrology can eventually affect its accuracy. From Indian Astrology to the Chinese one, the degree of Astrology precision is unequal. Therefore, it is very crucial to read the comparative Chart to know which kind of Astrology is most accurate. According to such the Chart, Vedic Astrology tends to be voted at top whereas Chinese Astrology and some other kinds of Western Astrology are rated with the lower degrees.
Next, the accuracy of Astrology also depends on the Astrologers' spiritual level and abilities. Surely, the inexperienced practitioners are likely to produce the more inaccurate predictions than the experienced ones. With years of experience in interpreting the 12 Zodiac signs, houses, planets and transits, the genuine spiritualists secure their spiritual counseling with the personalized interpretations of someone's natures and destiny.
If there is any obstacle lying along the path of growth, the readers will let you know and help you to overcome them by the remedial solutions. Therefore, build up the mutual trust in the Astrologers so that you can gain more from the spiritual talk! At the end of the good Horoscope Readings, the seekers must receive the answers and insights they seek. Due to the type of Psychic questions that you ask the Psychics, the readings' accuracy is affected. For instance, if asking the spiritualists about the profitable investment in foreign currency, you receive nothing afterwards.
Bear in mind that Free Online Horoscope Readings are linked to the matters of spirituality, NOT the ones of laws, finance, money, or medicine! Hence, question the practitioners rightly so that you can get the accurate answers around the destined Zodiac signs. By coming prepared to the astrological lands with the list of what to ask and what to react, the seekers can end up their spiritual journeys with the positive spiritual belief around the validity of Astrology in the real life contexts.

Procrastination is very commonly seen nowadays no matter in school or at work. Whenever I procrastinated, I would blame myself for not having good time management skills, for being reluctant to take the first step and the negative emotion continued to go on.
However, from an article that I recently read, procrastination is more than just about time management or fear of stepping forward. Many people who tend to procrastinate are actually perfectionists and the reason that they don't start to work on the project right away is that they want everything to be perfect. Such strong pursuit of perfectionism unexpectedly inhibits us from moving forward because we are unwilling to see any flaw in our work. We are too overwhelmed and therefore we stop from the beginning.
Such situation may be more severe for people who lack confidence in themselves. Lack of confidence may cause them to rely on others' acknowledgment or recognition of their work for them to consider they've done a good job. As a result, they force themselves to be perfect and then become too overwhelmed and then procrastinate instead.
Of course, time management is very important as a medical professional because we are multi-tasking on a daily basis. However, it really helps if we realize that there are other causes of procrastination and we can fix those that are fixable. After reading that article, I'm resolving to be more confident and not to stress myself out being a perfectionist. I can start my work right away, it may not be perfect, but I can fix it if I start the work early enough rather than waiting until the last minute when I will not have the chance to fix it anymore.

text: Okay, so I removed the x-clamp and put screws instead (as well as new thermal paste). I let the xbox overheat, then turned it on after it cooled a little while and it worked. I haven't been able to test it for any length, because I don't have means to charge my controller for the moment. Anyway, my concern as of right now is with the screw setup, there isn't really anyway to tell whether or not I'm crushing the cpu or gpu. I tightened the screws, but stopped right when it got to the point of having to use any force to tighten more. Is there any way to tell whether or not I'm doing damage to it? I have four washers (two nylon, two metal) on each screw. Also, for anyone who's done this, was it hard to get the mainboard to fit back in the case. I'm a little worried that the screws are too big, even though in reality they shouldn't be any different from the x-clamp.

Media Release on complaint to Journalists' Union
17 April 2018
The Australian journalist's union, the Media Entertainment Arts Alliance (MEAA) has found a Melbourne journalist breached the union's code of ethics in his reporting of events relating to the sexual harassment claims against former Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle.
And the MEAA warned Melbourne Herald Sun journalist Ian Royall to avoid placing undue emphasis on selective points of his reporting.
The Australian Local Government Women's Association (ALGWA), a non-party political organisation representing women in local government, made a complaint to the MEAA about a series of articles by journalists John Masanuskas and Ian Royall.
"We complained that the articles were misleading, unfair, unbalanced and economical with the truth. We were particularly concerned about a photograph of former councillor Tessa Sullivan being splashed across the front page together with an unrelated text," said National ALGWA President Cr Coral Ross.
Only one of the journalists is a member of the MEAA, and the Alliance's Ethics committee convened a panel to investigate the complaint against Mr Royal and his stories More Twists in the Doyle Scandal and The Doyle Dilemma.
The stories concerned the former Councillor registering the name Tessa Doyle but the ALGWA complained they failed to disclose that Doyle was her mother's maiden name.
The ALGWA complained the journalist breached two clauses of the Code of Ethics. The panel found that Mr Royall had breached one clause but not the second.
"We are pleased that the MEAA found there had been a breach in the Alliance's Code of Ethics. Mr Royal was found in breach of Do your utmost to achieve fair correction of errors. The panel recommended Mr Royall be warned to avoid placing undue emphasis on selective points in his reporting,"said Cr Ross.
The ALGWA is concerned that the Herald-Sun's reporting deterred other women from making claims of sexual harassment.
"We did not make this complaint lightly," said ALGWA Vic President Helen Coleman. "We are here to support women in local government and felt strongly that the reporting was victim-blaming.
"While we are very pleased that the MEAA warned the journalist, and trust that in the future journalists will abide by the journalist's Code of Ethics, we are considering whether to appeal the finding in relation to the other clause," added Ms Coleman.

3 Things I Found at Triennial
by Erik Reynolds
[This article is a follow-up to a previous article titled, 3 Things I'm Looking for at Triennial]
Original Post: Identity: What does it mean to be an Advent Christian?
Answer: With the passing of our new Statement of Faith we have given ourselves a much greater sense of identity. Advent Christians are Evangelical followers of Jesus Christ who seek to make Christ's name known throughout the world with a longing for the imminent return of Christ, finding our only hope in Him.
There are many things that Advent Christian have yet to figure out, such as planting churches, developing leaders, revitalizing churches, and how to organize our denomination structure. However, there is a heart to serve Christ in any way possible and a desire to look for better ways to further the Gospel message.
Original Post: Vision: Where are we going and what is our mission?
Answer: You have to know who you are before you will know where you are going. Prior to this Triennial the feeling I received from others was one of disappointment and pessimism. Much of this pessimism stemmed from a lack of identity and feeling of futility. Thanks to the guidance of our terrific ACGC staff and Executive Council, we have an identity. The vision I found most evident in this convention was found in John 17, That the world may know. This was the theme of the convention and one that resonated with the majority of those who attended.Moving forward the heart of the Advent Christian vision is the proclamation of the Gospel to the world. I personally sensed a great deal of urgency on behalf of others at the convention, an urgency I was grateful to sense. There are billions of people who have yet to come to a saving faith in Christ. With our focus on the imminent return of Jesus, the implications are vast. Our focus on the Gospel and imminent return should drive us in everything we do:
We must plant churches that will proclaim the Gospel because Christ is coming soon! `
We must revitalize churches to reach the next generation with the Gospel because Christ is coming soon!
We must pour into and develop leaders that will exalt Christ's name because He is coming soon!
How is all of this going to happen? Those answers are still yet to come, but there was a great sense of unity and willingness to work together to discover these answers. More unity than I have experienced at other levels of the denomination. There was ZERO, "My way or the highway!" type of talk and more, "You love Jesus, I love Jesus, let's work together to help more people love Jesus in whatever ways we can!"
Original Post: Conversations: How can we join the work that God is already doing?
Answer: As a member of the Restoration Network, it was great to hear from others who were interested in learning ways in which they could bring such a movement into their geographical areas. One thing we sought out was the planting of seeds to that will grow into national and international relationships. Seeking to exchange ideas and encourage one another as we spur each other on in Gospel ministry.
I met with a church planter who Pastors a church with multiple other guys, each working only quarter time in order to stay out in the community
I met a Pastor who gave up all of his salary from the church in order to give it all to missions. A church of just over twenty that lives out extravagant generosity.
I spoke with multiple generations about the future of church and leadership development.
I had the pleasure of speaking with many of the ACGC staff and Executive Council who have the same concerns as me and I got to hear their perspective.
However, the greatest moment was circling together in prayer with friends both before and after the vote on the Statement of Faith, seeking for God's will to be done in our midst. A time of prayer and thoughtful contemplation, looking towards God, seeking His will and not our own was much needed. However, it needs to continue at all levels of our denomination and it starts with you.
