- As China implements its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) earnestly and at the same time pledges to promote green environment and sustainable growth, questions abound on its commitment to achieving both objectives simultaneously.
- How does the BRI relate to the global environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives? Is there any evidence for China putting its green incentive into practice while implementing its BRI? What are the challenges that China will face by going green?
- Will China stick to its green promise? What are the forces that will help shape the future of green finance and where does China stand in green financing? What are the opportunities and challenges that China's actions may present to the world?
As China ascents to the world stage with growing economic influence through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it also wants to showcase its "green" leadership. The incentives to do so should be strong because as the world's largest greenhouse gas-emitting nation, China's growth is unsustainable and has negative externalities on the world economy.
BRI to embrace sustainable development but…
In principle, China is trying to embrace in its BRI infrastructure projects five of the 17 areas of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted in 2015:
- SDG #6: Clean water and sanitation – ensure access to water and sanitation for all people.
- SDG #7: Affordable and clean energy – ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all people.
- SDG #11: Sustainable cities and communities – make cities and human settlements safe, inclusive, resilient and sustainable.
- SDG #13: Climate action – combat climate change and its impact urgently.
- SDG #17: Partnership for the goals – strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.
However, one of the largest Chinese investment categories in the developing countries is coal-fired power plants. The Global Environment Institute found that between 2001 and 2016, China developed 240 coal-fired power projects in 68 countries, most of which are associated with the BRI since its inception in 2013, for a total of 251 GW of generating capacity or about 25% of China's domestic coal-fired capacity. This shows that China has yet to deliver its green pledge in the BRI investment.
Hitherto, Beijing has yet to establish the principles to guide environmentally sound investment abroad. Its export of dirty-energy technology undercuts the credits it gets for going green in its domestic energy initiatives. It will have to embrace responsible investment rules to fend off international criticism on its lack of sustainable growth and investment strategies.
Domestic efforts are stronger
However, China has made progress towards some of the SDGs in the domestic system. Environmental policy and enforcement have become more systematic since President Xi came to power in 2013 when the State Council approved a comprehensive action plan to reduce air pollution. This was followed by plans to reduce water and soil pollution in 2015 and 2016, respectively. These plans established local and national targets and time-lines for pollution reduction, taking aim at the highly-polluting sectors. If fully implemented, the plans would amount to the world's largest ever environmental clean-up effort.
China has also stepped up the pace of environmental innovation, with initiatives in carbon pricing, clean-energy finance and electric vehicles. In June 2017, it rolled out a pilot programme for green finance in five provinces to promote a USD 440 billion spending scheme on environmental protection projects. Then in November, it launched the long-awaited carbon emissions trading scheme, which could become the world's largest carbon market.
China is now the world's biggest investor in renewable energy technologies. In 2016, it accounted for almost 50% of the world's installation of new wind-power capacity. By 2020, China is expected to account for more than a third of the world's total wind-power capacity. It has also vowed to achieve the international goal of limiting global average temperature increase to less than 2oC through the Paris Agreement.Download to read more

It's #membermonday! Check out this week's featured member, Peter Baldwin. Peter has been a Capitol Post Co-Working member since January of 2017. Read more about his journey below.
Peter G Baldwin
Managing Principal & Chief Business Coach
MarketForce Strategies
Military Service: USAF (Reserves)
Branch/Specialty: Air Cargo Specialist; Explosives Safety Specialist
So, what do you do and how do you do it?
MarketForce StrategiesSM helps certain businesses grow by (1) first ensuring that they are fully committed to growth, (2) determining what their revenue and non-revenue goals are, and then (3) advising the business leader on the essential components of and collaboratively crafting a business growth plan.
Among a handful of our business improvement services, MarketForce Strategies'SM signature program, Customized Business Growth Plan, involves:
- Monthly 1 hour, face-to-face interactive coaching sessions centered around a proprietary, 30+ page Master Plan GrowthSM workbook
- Monthly workbook homework assignments, which are reviewed and refined during each coaching session
- Unlimited business leader access to the Business Coach throughout the program
- MarketForce Strategies'SMserving as each client's "marketing arm" by proactively seeking business opportunities for the client
Additional standard business improvement offerings include Business Growth Gap AuditSM, Business Growth Plan JumpstartSM, Simplified Elevator SpeechesSM, Business Plan CreationSM Executive Leadership CouncilSM, and SoloSuccess Master Plan GrowthSM (for small groups of solopreneurs).
What has been the most challenging part about transitioning from military service?
Trying to remember when that happened, so long ago! My challenge was 3-part: just graduated from college, got married, and began boot camp, all within a 6-week period. So the transition involved being thrust into a professional (and married) life after being having been dependent on others until then.
So, tell us how you ended up where you are in your company.
Having an engineering degree and desperate for a job, I took one with an insurance company as a "safety engineer," which evolved into 30+ years in both business development, small business consulting, and leading small businesses. When another coaching firm needed help in the early 2000s, it was a natural fit. During that 7 year stint, I created my own coaching programs for the coaching firm, eventually making my own mark with MarketForce Strategies'SM in January 2011.
Now looking back on your military service, why did you originally decide to join?
More conscription than choice at that time, when draft numbers and the Viet Nam were very demanding.
Describe at least 3 things that you learned during your service and how they benefit you today.
- As an enlistee, leadership through observation of officers and non-coms – how NOT to lead as well how to lead. Which simplified my understanding of how best to lead businesses, both those I led and those business leaders I advise.
- The importance of teamwork with a common goal. Regardless of differing personalities, working as a team replaces the glory of "I" with the success of "we."
- How to put a deep shine on a pair of shoes, make a coin-jumping bed cover, and clean a bathroom with a toothbrush! The discipline of which, surprisingly, makes domestic life much less stressful!
Who has influenced you the most in your career?
My then-boss (President to my VP) at a small insurance services firm several years ago, who always described business obstacles as "challenges" instead of "problems," which turns a negative into a positive and which I try to emulate to this day.
What are your goals for 5-10 years from now?
To establish a residual income source that frees me for other pursuits, by either selling MarketForce Strategies'SM or licensing its programs to other coaching practices.

The Vizio D Series 2018 is a decent but basic 4k TV. The picture quality is okay, but the TV lacks more advanced features like local dimming or a wide color gamut to produce deeper dark scenes or vivid HDR. The response time is fast which is excellent for displaying sports without much blur and the TV has low input lag for gaming.
|Picture Quality
|Sound Quality
|Smart Features
The design of the Vizio D Series 65 is ok. It has a wide and quite stable stand, although it wobbles a little if slightly pushed. The back is plastic and the TV seems relatively thick when you are looking at it from the side. The build quality is ok and it should not cause any issues. Overall, the TV looks very similar to the Vizio E Series 2018, but the D Series lacks a metal trim.
The TV looks a little thick and blocky when viewed from the side, so it may stick out slightly if wall-mounted. Like all other Vizio models we tested this year, the structure of the TV (screen and electronics' compartment) is more apparent when the TV is viewed from the side.
The Vizio D Series produces a decent picture quality. It has a very good native contrast ratio that will display deep blacks in dark room conditions and the TV can get bright enough for dim environments. However, in well-lit rooms, it might not be able to get bright enough. When viewing HDR content, you might find the picture slightly dim unless you boost the backlight. The gray uniformity is ok, however, some clouding is noticeable and this might annoy sports fans. It has a limited color gamut, and poor color volume, so you should not expect rich and saturated colors. Finally, reflection handling is very good and should not be an issue in bright rooms.
This TV does not have a local dimming option.
The Vizio D65-F1 SDR peak brightness is good. The TV achieves brightness levels that are good for a dark room and satisfactory for a brighter ambiance. It is worth noting that the TV brightness level remains uniform no matter the size of the highlights.
The Vizio D series 4k 2018 has ok HDR peak brightness. It does not get very bright to display bright highlights as the creator intends, but it does not dim highlights and it displays a steady brightness no-matter the window size.
If you find HDR content too dim, raising the Backlight setting to 100 (rather than the default 50) and setting the Gamma to 1.8 will brighten most HDR shades, but unfortunately won't affect peak highlights.
Also during our testing the TV got stuck once at 70 cd/m², but resetting the picture mode fixed the issue.
The gray uniformity is decent. On the 50% gray uniformity test picture, we can see that the four corners are a slightly darker than the center. Some clouding is apparent which causes a little dirty screen effect which might annoy some people when viewing sports.
On the 5% gray uniformity picture, things are a little better as not much clouding can be noticed.
The viewing angle is bad for this Vizio D Series 2018. Blacks fade to grey at only small angles off the center and colors shift rapidly at an angle as well. It is not a great choice if you plan on placing it in a wide room.
The Vizio D Series 4k 2018 is good at handling reflections. The semi-gloss finish diffuses reflections across the screen, reducing their intensity. Unless you are planning on watching TV in a very bright room, reflections should not be an issue.
The TV has very good out of the box color accuracy. When set to Calibrated Dark, the color dE and white Balance dE are well below 3, so most people will not notice any inaccuracies.
The gamma is at 2.19 almost right on our 2.2 target. Finally, the color temperature is close to 6500K resulting in a fairly accurate picture.
The post calibration picture is close to perfect. The calibration process is fairly straightforward and relatively fast to do. The white balance dE was brought down to 0.08. The color dE was slightly harder to minimize, but the residue is so small that most people won't notice. Finally, the gamma is tracking perfectly our goal of 2.2.
You can see our recommended settings here.
Upscaling of low-quality content is slightly worse than average. Similar to other Vizio TVs, DVDs appear a bit soft but there is some choppiness to the image.
You can see a comparison of the Vizio M Series and TCL 6 Series here.
The color gamut is decent, but the TV fails to be classified as having a wide color gamut since the cover of the Rec 2020 uv space fails to surpass our target of 67%.
The HDR EOTF in the Calibrated Dark picture mode follows the target PQ curve well at first, but then begins its roll-off really early, so well-lit areas of HDR scenes will be shown less bright than intended. If you find HDR content too dark, raising the Backlight setting to 100 and setting Gamma to 1.8 will raise the EOTF and brighten most HDR scenes.
Enabling Game Low Latency doesn't change the EOTF, which is good, and the EOTF in the Computer picture mode is also very similar.
The color volume on this Vizio D Series 65 is mediocre. The inability of the TV to display a full range of colors across a range of brightnesses esteems from the limited color gamut. Colors on this TV will not be very rich and darker color shades will be crushed.
The gradient is very good. A little banding is present almost everywhere, but only in the dark green and gray you might spot a little more.
There is no gradient smoothing feature but, the TV has a Reduce Noise feature that may help reduce banding in low quality content.
We don't expect VA panels to experience permanent image retention, as the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.
The Vizio D Series has ok motion handling. It has a panel with a fast response time, which is good because the TV can handle fast action well without much blur. At the same time in slow fps content, some stutter is visible, which is due to the lack of motion interpolation that cannot be removed. The TV uses PWM to dim the backlight at a fast rate and should not be noticeable to most people. Finally, the TV will remove judder if the 24fps is not coming through a 60p or 60i source.
The TV uses PWM to dim its backlight, so the backlight flickers at all Backlight settings below 100. The flicker frequency is at 480 Hz, which is high so it isn't very noticeable except in small duplications behind moving objects.
Also we noticed that the backlight also dips down at every 1/60th of a second (60Hz) as shown in in the backlight@100% plot. This should not be noticeable to most and should not worry you.
The D series does not support BFI.
Update 03/29/2019: The 120 Hz for 120 fps test was scored incorrectly. The score has increased slightly.
The Vizio D Series 65 does not have any motion interpolation features unlike the higher end P Series 2018 or the TCL 6 Series.
In 24p, some stutter is noticeable because of the fast response time. Unfortunately, the TV has no motion interpolation to insert in-between frames and thus you can only rely on the minimum blur created by the response time to smooth it out.
The Vizio D Series 4k can play 24p content from the native apps, or a DVD or a Blu-ray without judder. To remove judder set Film mode to on.
When the 24fps is coming through 60i or 60p then just like the 2017 model the TV is not able to remove it.
The Vizio D65-F1 doesn't support any variable refresh rate features.
The Vizio D Series has a very low input lag both for SDR and HDR content. This makes the TV feel very responsive to user input which should keep happy those who plan to play games on the TV. This year's model supports a variety of input resolutions but no support for 120Hz or for 1440p is available. Finally, the Vizio D65-F1 can display 4:4:4 color on all ports, as long as you set it to Full UHD Color. It's worth noting that the TV comes equipped with a TV tuner.
The input lag is very low. To achieve low input lag you must set the Game Low Latency to on, You can do that from any picture mode so we recommend using the Calibrated Dark picture mode.
4:4:4 is only shown properly in the Computer picture mode and the Game Low Latency must be enabled for low input lag. It is however enabled by default when a 4:4:4 signal is sent and thus it is grayed out.
The D Series 65, like other mid-low end Vizio models, does not support 120Hz. It does support most common resolutions at 60Hz except 1440p.
Only in Computer picture mode can 4:4:4 color be displayed properly, and it only works only when Full UHD Color is enabled.
4k @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 + HDR is also supported.
Just like the other 2018 Vizio models, in this D series the Digital Audio Out had to be manually set to Bitstream for DTS passthrough (Optical and ARC) to work. If set to Auto it stays in PCM.
The sound quality of the Vizio D Series 65 is sub-par. This TV doesn't produce much bass and gets only moderately loud. It also lacks a bit of detail and brightness in its treble range, which is not good for producing clear and easily understandable dialogue. For a better sound, soundbars or dedicated speakers are recommended (see our recommendations for the best budget soundbars).

A few blogs I would love to share with all of you, although most of you may already enjoy them:
These blogs and the writings of Connie Hultquist and Mrs. Sharon White always bring me back to the basics and joys of homemaking. They are devoted homemakers with a real love of tending to the family and hearth. They also have very strong spiritual practices that keep them in balance and in gratitude.
I have been working too hard on my channel and writing books and it has caused a severe imbalance that has caused me to be rude and irritable. I have already canceled all my media and never watch the news, however, I get sucked into the YouTube vortex and consumed by writing.
So, I have taken up my ladies books and blogs to read passages on being a housewife and mother and finding peace and faith in planting a garden, putting up a pantry, cleaning a home thoroughly and turning back to daily communion with God. I feel much better, I must say.
I recall when my family moved to Walnut Grove (not the one in Little House on the Prairie but so fitting since I devoured all those books as a girl). We lived on a fruit farm on the Delta River and owned one car. The nearest town was 40 minutes away. I stayed home with two babies and once a week my childhood friend would visit and once a week I would go into town to buy a Starbucks latte and do the grocery shopping. This was "me" time and I looked forward to it as a child does Christmas morning. Grocery shopping and buying fancy drinks is not a big deal to most people, but when it becomes a rare thing…it becomes a treasured luxury.
Life was simple. Bali worked all the time and I tended to the home, two little baby boys, and feeding everyone. I didn't write yet, I didn't get online unless I was finding a homemade bread or laundry soap recipe. I had local channels and only watched an old movie now and then.
I did keep my home tidy, picked fruit from all the various trees around our house, hung my clothes out on the line, and I would sit outside with the boys and read stacks of Amish fiction while the little's played in the sandbox Bali made them from the leftover sand when a new well was built.
Life was slow and easy. It was a farm and we woke when the sun rose and went to bed when it went down. We enjoyed the birds nesting in our screened in porch and listened to the coyotes hunting at night. I miss that time. I didn't get out much but I was so peaceful and content.
We now live in town and life is a bit busier. We have two vehicles and one boy is now enrolled in an Independent study with a delightful charter in Nevada City. We drive from town to the forest for him to have a good education. Before he had chosen a public school in town and I did not enjoy those days. The waking with an alarm, packing lunches, washing twice the laundry, being separated from my first born eight hours a day. I was relieved when he decided it wasn't for him (with the help of bullying that went on for a few months) and now he is involved in a school that is fun, loving, and casual where the kids are wholesome and confident and don't have iPhones in their hands.
My dreams of homeschooling and coops are alive again. I'm also homesteading in town like crazy.
I have been building up my pantry, cleaning deeply, and reading my little ladies works. I'm back to more reading and blogging and off YouTube and not forcing novels from my fingertips. I am enjoying all the planting and work Bali and I are doing in the gardens and cooking everything…or almost everything from scratch and loving my time in the kitchen. Music plays on the radio and the TV is saved for a sitcom or old movie now and then. We all enjoy doing art and coloring, and I've really taken up my role of teaching Arjan at home with both hands. We learn as we travel, as we cook, bake, garden, we write together, we read together.
Today I'm watering, feeding and rinsing the dust from my house plants. I'll be baking four loaves of white and wheat bread, a huge batch of Amish bran muffins from my new Dining on a Dime cookbook (it has been very fun carrying it about and planning recipes). My spouse is vacuuming the house and will be making a big pot of Punjabi Mung Bean soup and the boys will play outside most of the day.
Life is cozy and charming for me now. I will finish this blog, do my shopping list and head out to Winco today to build my pantries a bit more. I was gifted a hundred dollar bill by a subscriber on my channel so I'm eager to see how far I can stretch it at the store. The other day I stocked my whole pantry, fridge, and freezer on $300 from Grocery Outlet. I'm excelling at the budget these days and each victory inspires me.
Check out the blogs and be inspired as well.

For about as long as Google has been around, 10-result search engine results pages (SERPs) have been the norm; in other words, each page of Google's search results features 10 entries of websites that fit your search criteria on each page. Typically, the 10 entries on page 1 get all our attention.
But what if Google was planning for a very different future—one where the average SERP has zero results? What would that future look like? And should companies with SEO strategies be preparing for this outcome?
Threats From All Sides
First, you need to understand where these results are disappearing to. Google isn't in the habit of giving its customers less value, so something must be taking the place of typical search results.
In reality, there are many things taking the place of typical organic search results:
Growth to Date
A decade ago, aside from ads, these organic result-stealing features were practically non-existent. So how fast have they been growing in significance?
A recent Moz article on the topic noted that SERPs with 10 results are still the norm, with about 25 percent of all results offering between 5 and 8 organic results. SERPs with 3 and 4 results were represented in the study as well.
Clearly, zero-result SERPs are still an extremely rare extreme, and even low- to mid-result SERPs represent a minority of cases—yet the trajectory leaning toward fewer organic results is present.
The Advantages for Google
Why would Google be pushing for these changes? Three reasons:
The Problems With a Zero-Result SERP
However, there are also some fundamental limitations of zero-result SERPs that should keep Google from favoring this outcome in the long term:
The Bottom Line
So is Google hatching some kind of master plan to reduce organic visibility and change its SERPs to offer zero results? The answer is "probably not." Google is definitely investing in restructuring its SERPs to improve user friendliness and convenience, and part of that means squashing organic results in favor of new, more intuitive functionality.
However, there's simply too much to lose by offering a zero-result SERP to make it a feasible possibility for the future.
We regret any inconvenience.More about our terms

text: A book came my way recently which has managed to shed a little light on more of our local mills; specifically those in Weardale. The Disappearing Mills and Bread Ovens of Weardale by Christine Ruskin, was published in 2017. The book more specifically covers corn mills but managed to add two new sites to the database, Frosterley Mill and Goosecroft Mill. new information like this is always useful and just helps add to the understanding of the subject. Detailed research in a local area often highlights sites that have not come to light through more general research and some mills simply get missed when pouring over maps and plans.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
The father is commander of a concentration camp, while the mother living next door to it, believes it to be an internment camp. Their son is lonely and bored but discovers a friend inside the camp's fence, a boy his age wearing striped pajamas.
It's an excellent movie and I won't spoil it for you by revealing more.
A trailer for the movie follows below. The full movie is also shown on YT

I agree with you. It is a wonderful movie. Many times parents "think" they are helping their children by sheltering them from the harshness of the world. It is much better to help the child understand what is going on in the world around them.ReplyDelete
This movie blew me away.ReplyDelete
Hi Manzanita .. it is definitely a movie I want to watch, while a book I'd like to read too ...ReplyDelete
So it's always good when people remind me ... thanks for that .. cheers Hilary
Great movie! Hard for me to watch, tho...ReplyDelete
I haven't seen this, but then I don't watch a lot of movies. Looks like one I need to be sure to watch.ReplyDelete
Heading home tomorrow... finally. Hope you are keeping warm!! Still cold here in Mississippi. My love to you. Terry
I haven't seen this, but then I don't watch a lot of movies. Looks like one I need to be sure to watch.ReplyDelete
Heading home tomorrow... finally. Hope you are keeping warm!! Still cold here in Mississippi. My love to you. Terry
Like the commenter above, I don't watch many movies unless I catch one at just the right time on television. Haven't been to the theatre in years. All that popcorn munching is too distracting, as is the guy in the ball cap I usually get in front of me, not him, the inability to see the screen.ReplyDelete
This one was a very good movie, watched it a couple of times in fact.ReplyDelete
I need to this this to my watch list.ReplyDelete
It is a wonderful, well-made movie that broke my heart. Never forget--always remember.ReplyDelete
Very cool blog. Interesting posts. ;)ReplyDelete
Nice atmosphere guests with you here on the blog. ;]
Yours. Have a nice day. !
Follow me on facebook fanpage
I'm very concerned about this, please. :)
I saw this film recently. It was very very good.ReplyDelete
I did see this one and it stayed with me for quite a while. Powerful.ReplyDelete
Hi Manzanita. That really does sound like a very touching film and i shall try to get a copy from Amazon. Thank you!ReplyDelete
A beautiful and powerful movie Manzanita and like you I highly recommend it.ReplyDelete
Oh if only the innocence of childhood could stay with us...but along life's way we learn distrust and hatred and are spoiled forever.
Anna :o]
Vicki, I DO so agree with you, but I thought about it for some time. If we would be completely honest with kids, it would also tell us what we are doing wrong. How could the father tell his child that he was killing Jews without realizing how terribly wrong it was. Somebody said it in the comments, we should all have the innocence of childhood.ReplyDelete
Karen :Besides having this powerful story line, the cinematography (is that the right word) is brilliant.
Hilary : You are most welcome, my dear. I haven't read the book but that would be one I think I should add to my reading list.
turquoisemoon : me too. I kinda pull my sweater up over my eyes and watching through the haze of fabric, kinda takes some of the realism away. I know, sounds cuckoo.ReplyDelete
Terry : It's such a powerful movie and the photography is so genius that it should be seen, even though it gives you some sadness, it is a movie that you think about for a long time. It's so rare to find a movie like this.
Oh shoot, that you didn't have much sun. I was hoping you would find a great store house of vit. D. A lot of people wouldn't call our climate warm now..... but it's warming up to the lower 30's and that is hot enough for us. Today I walked Cody (same place) and it was such a nice day that many people were out. (Still spraying though.)
I had not heard of this movie but it is now on my list to see. Thanks Manzanita for the tip!ReplyDelete
Kittie, It's better to crunch your own popcorn at home and you don't have a single person in front of you, baseball cap or cowboy hat. They are the worst out here in the wild west and they never take them off. Anywhere, no matter what they're doing. Now my imagination is running away.ReplyDelete
Pat : I agree. This was my 3rd time. I think if it came on tonight, I'd watch it again but I might turn it off just before the end.
Optimistic : I think you would like this movie, Keith. Besides the story, I like watching the cars, the furniture and clothes.
Susan : The name of the movie is certainly descriptive of what the movie is about but it wasn't exactly what I expected the first time I saw it. It was so much better, but I guess I'm just being picky. The name is good.
Patrycji : I just couldn't find a place for comments. I'll try facebook. Thank you for your nice comment.ReplyDelete
Wendy : I have been a movie buff most of my life. But I do have favorite categories. Thanks for stopping.
Patti : I like movies that I think about for days and days. You are right, this was one of those.
thisisme : This is a good movie but you have been a little blue. Perhaps you should follow it up with "Parental guidance." That was a feel-good movie. Not a whole lot of substance but a lot of truisms about the way the generations raise kids. Maybe the blues left you by now.... I home so.
Anna : You made such an exacting statement and I quoted it above.
Anna, I am tired of wars and killing people and the yucky GMO's in our food. I just want peace.
Thanks for commenting.
Wow, that sounds like an amazing movie... but one that can rip your heart right out of your chest.ReplyDelete
This is such a great movie!ReplyDelete
I haven't seen it, but I'd really like to. Although I suspect it doesn't end well.ReplyDelete
Seeing things like this make me melancholy. There are people in this country who cannot believe that the Germans did things like this. They think they are, somehow, better than that. There is no way an American could be this way.
I so very much hope they're right. But, I think people are people. And, therefore, are capable of just about anything.
I haven't seen this one yet and now I've added it to my "must see" list.ReplyDelete
The very definition of heartbreaking.ReplyDelete
I have never seen it because movies in general are garbage. However, I will make it a point to see this one. Looks great!ReplyDelete
I've heard about this movie, but I never saw it. I'd love to read the book, too, now that I see the movie was based on one.ReplyDelete
Teresa : Children are so accepting of all humans. Why can't all adults look at one another with a child's eye?ReplyDelete
Gina : Thank you for stopping. I shall return your visit.
Chuck : You and your wife would most likely like this movie. Besides the good storyline, I was excited to look at the 40's dresses the women wore. Your wife may like that too.
Susan : Well, yes, I guess it is but it is such a beautiful story about the innocence of children.
Al : I'm sorry to say that it doesn't end well but it is the type of movie that one remembers long after the popcorn is all gone.ReplyDelete
I agree with you that people are people. Often we don't really know the people we put in office.
River : I think you may enjoy this one. I get the idea that you are a movie buff, too.
JJ : I agree but I love movies.... good movies. I watch a lot of the old ones on videos, Did you ever see "Blast from the Past.?" It's a fun movie that younger people don't always understand.
Carol, I have never read the book. Usually the book is better than the movie but I also enjoyed the 40's clothes and carsReplyDelete

Quick Cape Town Fact: Legend has it that in the 1930's a local Cape Town newspaper claimed that Cape Town was the only city in South Africa that could justly call itself a metropolis. The public took to this description and because the word metropolis is taken from the Greek derivative of meter or metros meaning mother and polis meaning city, the nickname of "Mother City" was born. Although some people joke everything in Cape Town goes at a slower pace compared to Johannesburg – everything takes nine months.

'Strange and Absurd Words:' Translation as Ethics and Poetics in the Transcultural U.S. 1830-1915
Lauth, Laura E.
Lauth, Laura E
MetadataShow full item record
ABSTRACT Title of Document: "STRANGE AND ABSURD WORDS:" TRANSLATION AS ETHICS AND POETICS IN THE TRANSCULTURAL U.S. 1830-1915 Laura E. Lauth, PhD, 2011 Directed By: Professor Martha Nell Smith Department of English This dissertation documents the emergence of "foreignizing" translation and its influence on poetic practice in the transcultural United States between 1830 and 1915--a period critical to the development of free verse in English. The study also explores the extent to which poetry translation constitutes a genre with special relevance to the multilingual U.S. In Lawrence Venuti's formulation, foreignizing signals the difference of the source text by disrupting cultural codes and literary norms in the target language (Translator's Invisibility 15). The innovative and ethically-charged translations recuperated here played a vital role in the development of "American poetry" by introducing heterodox authors, genres, and discourses into print. Despite nationalist and English-only tendencies in U.S. scholarship, the literature of the United States has always exceeded the bounds of a single language or nation. More than a mere byproduct of foreign dependency, the nineteenth-century proliferation of literary translations and non-English literatures reflected a profoundly multilingual "nation of nations." As such, this study emphasizes both the transnational and multicultural character of U.S. poetry. In tracing this often invisible tradition of foreign-bent translation, I offer five case studies spanning eighty years, two centuries, three continents, and numerous languages. From the influential debut of Bettina Brentano-von Arnim's self-translated Goethe's Correspondence with a Child (1838) to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's comparativist translation anthology, Poets and Poetry of Europe (1845); from Judith Gautier's pioneering vers libre variations on the Classical Chinese (1867) to binational poet Stuart Merrill's free verse Englishing of Gautier (1890); from Pound's heteroclite Medievalism (1905-1910) to the inaugural volume of Harriet Monroe's transnational magazine, Poetry (1912-1913), the translations considered here challenged "literary canons, professional standards, and ethical norms in the target language" (Venuti, "Strategies of Translation" 242). Taken together, these chapters offer a new transcultural perspective on modern literary translation and the development of free verse in English.

The Escape Artist
The Escape Artist. Whether it was my failure to cut Meltzer slack or his straining credulity at almost every key plot turn, the outcome was my reading a novel that I never came to enjoy. On the positive side, protagonist Nola Brown was a very interesting character. The Houdini connection was fascinating. Those two elements were not sufficient for me to overcome a plot that strained logical reasoning multiple times.

Trent Rice
Mermaid Motor Lounge
Eddie's Attic
515-B North McDonough St.
Decatur, GA, 30030
Doors 9:00 PM / Show 9:15 PM
Trent Rice is an American singer-songwriter based out of Decatur, GA. Previous releases include Signals from a Fallen Star (2013), State (2013), Hickory Hollow (2014), and Beautiful (2017).
Picture this: You're blistering down a desert highway in a bright red, 1971 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hellbent on making it to Vegas in record time. The wind's in your face, and the sun's at your back as you peel across the empty asphalt. You begin to hear a song off in the distance, and as it gets closer, you realize it's the most beautiful song you've ever heard. Pulling off the highway to find the source of the enchanting melody, you stumble across a hole-in-the-wall that's equal parts repulsive and magnetic.
It's a place that beckons you to enter against your better intuition. You enter to find a horde of mermaids, wide-eyed, singing their siren song and anticipating your arrival. Nervously, you wonder aloud if this is heaven or hell when a voice from above calls down and says, "Welcome to the Mermaid Motor Lounge. My name's Fran, can I get you a drink or some Melba Toasts?"
1mermaid motor lounge by grace kelly atlanta.jpg
That may not be the exact image frontman Josh Erwin had in mind when he named his new band Mermaid Motor Lounge, but it's certainly a name that activates the imagination. Aside from the inventive name, Erwin and his team, consisting of bassist Troy Harris, fiddler Jenna Mobley, drummer Ryan Van Fleet and guitarist Matt Pendrick, have created a mystifying and unique sound that Erwin describes as that of "a rock band that sounds like they're trying to sound a little like a country band."
The genesis for Mermaid Motor Lounge came when Packway Handle Band members Josh Erwin and Troy Harris began playing duo shows to showcase Erwin's newest songs, but before long, they started scooping up musicians like they were the Avengers building their dream team. Although Erwin said he didn't write Mermaid's songs to intentionally be an anti-Packway sound, he did admit that the heavy use of sustain, reverb and electric guitar on their debut album Fits and Starts came from "rarely using it while playing all acoustic/string band music." However, for those of you who hope to hear a hint of the Packway vibe, the vocal arrangments and harmonies will make you feel right at home.
After spending 15 years in the Packway Handle Band, playing shows across the country, you might expect Josh Erwin and fellow Packway member Troy Harris to be a little burnt out, but Erwin compares playing with Mermaid to that "new girlfriend feeling." Saying further, "The excitement comes from arranging these songs and playing and singing them with these particular instruments and people."
Erwin specifically harped on songs like "Missing Pieces," "Seismic Waves" and "The Engineer" as tracks that have been increasingly fun to play as they've filled out the band's roster. Now that the band is in full swing, though, we're all in for some real fun. When a band like Mermaid Motor Lounge shows up on the scene with as much passion, talent and experience as they do, it's a surefire recipe for a great time.
In Josh Erwin's words, Mermaid Motor Lounge's mission statement is simple: "To connect people to music and golden mermaids through songs they never knew they'd ever hear." So, if you want to hang out with a mermaid named Fran and connect with the night, come out and see Mermaid Motor Lounge.

But since the opening of Beer Merchant's Tap earlier this year, the area boasts enough craft beer cred to tempt even the most hardened homebodies beyond the end of the Jubilee line. That said, Beer Merchant's Tap would be worth visiting no matter how remote.

Vacuum flasks poster by Lou Taylor from frankie magazine.
Accidentally two hats or the pitfalls of shopping online for yarn late at night. I was planning to make my granddaughter a beanie - as its got quite chilly here lately - but I ordered too much yarn and it wasn't quite the colour I'd hoped it would be. Solution: knit two hats - each with a different coloured pompom - and then let my granddaughter choose. She chose the red pompom because what she really wanted was a red hat. The pattern is "ribbed hat" from Easy kids knits (2009) by Claire Montgomerie.
Hide and seek by Ian Rankin - number two in the Inspector Rebus series
The man who went up in smoke by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö - number two in the Martin Beck series

Ronnie And Jen Harley Take "U-turn" In Their Relationship!
Jersey Shore Star Ronnie has gone through many hardships during the season due to her paramour Jen Harley. After Jen Harley made him bleed blood , Jen herself wants to get back together. But why? Read out the story...
Ronnie and Jen Harley were spotted after the fights!
Jennifer Harley recently uploaded a picture with Ronnie and their friends and captioned "#squadgoals #bestfriends #4thofjulyweekend #jerseyshore #arianasky. Well, it was but obvious that the family is important than the rivalry. Well, Ariana being the major factor.
Jen Harley arrested for the inhuman actions!
Jen Harley was arrested on June 24. She crashed the car against Ronnie. Well, who does that? Thank God she didn't have to face any domestic abuse charges. This accident made Ronnie bleed. The bail was set at $3000. "Literally, flesh was coming out of his arm. It was not okay," Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi added.
The accident led him to not join the Reunion!
The accident led him to sit at home and had to miss the reunion at the Seaside Heights."I want him with his baby. I think she is right as he is injured and he should spend time with her daughter Ariana.", Jenni "JWoww" Farley said.
But he would be joining them on the Virtual world!
As the Cast arrives at the seashore, they get a facetime form, Ronnie. He can be seen wearing a sling on his arm in the Facetime. Amid the inner turmoil, he is able to crack the joke with the Vinny about what happened. But eventually Ronnie not coming is not the best decision!
Are Ronnie and Jen Back together?
Everybody thought that the couple has split up bu the hitching connection is just the baby. But I think it seems wrong. The couple who lives in Las Vegas were spotted together in the Park with their 6 months daughter and Jen's son from her previous relationship!
A "U-Turn" in the Relationship!
Their story also inclined the fans towards their "too much in love" notion. It was a surprise to the fans that they are getting back together after the volatile fights and many such up-downs in life. "We went through a rough time but we are strong and the best we've ever been.", she wrote in the story.
Jen Harley with the baby!
Jen Harley posted a picture with the caption, Central Park with the caption, "fam #moreissuesthanvogue #matchiematchie#mommydaughtergoals #centralpark". One of the fans commented, "You look pretty with dark hair!! 🖤🖤 ms. Little ronnie jr looking just like her daddy". Well, she looks like don't you think so?

I have to admit, as a fan of the comic book incarnation of Iron Man going all the way back to the early '80s, I can't help feel a bit of a fanboy thrill at how swiftly -- and how thoroughly -- the character's filmic success has made him not only one of Marvel Comics' top-tier heroes, but also one of the most prominent characters in all of pop culture. So much so that the onset of his third solo cinematic escapade has been greeted with the kind of pomp, ballyhoo, and anticipation that would have seemed unheard of (and sort of hilarious) just a few short years ago.
As the latest salvo in the Marvel Studios movie assault that began in 2008 with the first Iron Man and culminated (well, "Phase 1," anyway) with last year's The Avengers, Iron Man 3 does an admirable job of advancing the ball for the studio's multi-tiered mega franchise, but doesn't do much more than that. The much-anticipated trilogy-capper is pulled in too many directions by a story that borders on incoherent, but it's bracketed by some truly spectactular action set pieces, and is held together by the sheer electromagnetism of star Robert Downey Jr., whose fourth turn in his now-signature role demonstrates yet again why he's worth every penny of his mammoth, Tony Stark-esque paycheck.
Directed and co-written by series newbie Shane Black (but don't worry, previous helmer Jon Favreau still has a co-starring role), the third film picks up with Stark, our resident self-described "genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist," working through a raft of insecurities after all the other-dimensional alien invasion business from last summer. Night after sleepless night, he's locked away in his underground lab, devising ever-elaborate extensions and modifications to his metal-mouthed alter ego (having worked his way up to the segmented, self-actuating Mark 42 by the time we finally join the proceedings).
Meanwhile, the world is terrorized by a mystery man calling himself the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), who prompts the the US president (William Sadler) to draft Stark's friend and ally James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) into duty as the armored-and-dangerous Iron Patriot to track the villain down. Toss into the mix Guy Pearce as rival technocrat Aldrich Killian, who seems interested in poaching Stark's ladylove Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), a mysterious new technology called "Extremis," and a terror attack that leaves our emotionally wounded hero out for revenge, and you've got all the makings of a movie with a reach that may be bigger than its grasp.
Following The Avengers as it does, there was just no way to compete with the mega Marvel jam pic on scale, so the filmmakers (rightly) concluded that the way forward was to go deeper. As such, much of the 130 minute runtime is spent on the PTSD-like symptoms Stark is experiencing after his near-death experience in New York, and how it's crippled his ability to be the hero he's expected to be. There's some good stuff to mine there, but it also can't help but feel a bit like a retread of the "blood poisoning" angle that Stark had to overcome in movie two -- an arbitrary frailty concocted to tease our interest in the hero's latest struggle in lieu of an interesting antagonist (Mickey Rourke's Whiplash last time, I won't say who this time).
Perhaps this creative semi-paralysis is unavoidable given that movie one already took our erstwhile lead from carefree warmonger to responsible superhero -- a full character arc. This, in turn, necessitates the need to devise new demons with which to plague our protagonist lest it seem like he's running in place. The other issue (and one that's plagued the comics for decades as well) is the Iron Man suit itself. A modern age iteration of the bottomless magic satchel from folk stories and fairy tales, there's no real limitation to the adversity it can overcome, and thus no real drama it can create (a fact borne out by the film's heavy metal climax, which has Stark jumping in and out of an armada of automated suits with the casual ease most people reserve for loafers).
Compounding that problem is that there are simply too many plot threads laid out, only a few of which are developed to satisfaction, and most of whose payoffs feel forced and perfunctory. In particular, and this is where I try (and fail) to suppress my raging inner nerd, the final disposition of the Mandarin storyline rockets right past perfunctory and lands squarely at insulting. As a longtime fan of the books it's especially egregious, but I can't imagine that those unfamiliar with the character -- who has long been established as Iron Man's preeminent, premiere baddie -- won't be just as put off. It doesn't make me angry so much as it makes me scratch my head at the thought process that said this was the way to go.
It's no accident that huge swaths of the movie are entirely Iron Man free, focusing instead on Robert Downey inhabiting his character with practiced precision. In turn, the actor's re-teaming with director Black, who arguably launched the actor's career resuscitation with 2005's under-seen, under-appreciated Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, helps the story transcend its limitations, making this an overall more enjoyable experience than the previous Iron Man solo go. Does it reset the celluloid superhero landscape forever and always a la The Avengers? No, but then that was never a reasonable expectation. Instead, Iron Man 3 needed to keep the lights on as Marvel set about changing the scenery for "Phase 2," and on that score it succeeds satisfactorily, if not spectacularly. B+

This night featured some pretty great light, but the real stars of the show were all of the layers in this rock pinnacle. The texture and different shades of orange really stood out against the evening sky.

Kolob Terrace Sunset
It took some scouting, scrambling and a short sprint to get here in time for sunset. It wasn't far off the road in the Kolob Terrace area of Zion, but it also wasn't directly accessible. When a sunset calls sometimes I have to make a run for it!
It's Hard to Keep Driving
It's hard to keep driving when all the roads look like this. The natural beauty of Zion is amazing, and the narrow strips of road that run through it get you where you need to go while providing a contrasting perspective.
Zion Isn't Just for Rocks
It's also for waterfalls! A short hike and a steady tripod was all that it took to get a shot of this little waterfall.
Rock Pocket
The Narrows in Zion is great place for a hike through the cold water. During a flood the rocks are lifted up and pushed into unique little pockets carved out of the wall. It almost looks like someone has carefully selected and stored each individual rock there.
Zion for Days
I was heading to another spot for sunset when I saw this landscape and had to stop. The hours before the sun goes down can be just as picturesque as the sunset itself when you are surrounded by crazy rock formations such as these.
Moving Up The Narrows
Hiking up The Narrows in Zion requires getting wet. I'm normally looking for any excuse to get in the water with a tripod to get a shot of water like this flowing by, but for this hike it was required instead of optional.
Sunset at Virgin River
Zion has many amazing spots, and this place is no exception. The bridge over the river provides the perfect viewpoint to take in the sunset and see all the dramatic beauty that Zion has to offer.
Clouds Over Valley
I thought the climb to the top of Angel's Landing would be the highlight of the day, but when we got back down to the start of the trail there was another great view to admire. Little puffy clouds spread out perfectly above the valley below and we were right in the middle of all of it.

Vitamin C- Are you getting enough?
Did you know that Vitamin C is not produced by the body? The therapeutic properties of this vitamin are bountiful.
They include: High anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties aiding in the prevention of cataracts and helping to lower cholesterol. Vitamin C is also a great antidote for neutralizing free radicals that will cause premature aging. SCORE 🙂 Vitamin C also is amazing and works wonders at the onset of a cold or flu. Did you know that the body also needs vitamin C to make collagen, a protein required to help wounds heal? I had a client once that told me she struggled with slow wound healing and once we ran her blood tests indeed she was low in Vitamin C. It was fascinating. She had been living abroad for the last 6 months and her diet was not very full of fresh fruits and vegetables. We started her on a Vitamin C plan and now if she gets a cut or scrape it heals up quickly and nicely.
Foods rich in Vitamin C are citrus fruits, broccoli, strawberries, cantaloupe, yellow bell peppers, guavas and yes even a baked potato. Here is one of my favorite halibut recipes that uses grapefruit, a wonderful source of Vitamin C
Red peppers are a great source of Vitamin C as well. This dip has never disappointed me and I always get asked for the recipe if I bring it somewhere. I hope you like it.
A lot of time people think that just taking a multi vitamin is a way to get enough C but this is not true. Make sure and look for Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid. Most healthcare experts agree women should shoot for 35mg a day and men 90mg a day. You can overdue Vitamin C but it takes a lot to do this and I do not see it very often, your body will excrete any extra in your urine usually. However if you do notice strong stomach cramps or abnormal diarrhea after starting a Vitamin C supplement I would discuss it with your doctor.
There are a lot of good supplement sources out there as well as a lot of poor ones. Do your research. This is my favorite. This is my second favorite. I always recommend getting your vitamins and minerals from a food source but sometimes I do supplement especially during cold and flu season. Tune into your body and pay attention to how you feel. I always supplement Vitamin C during the winter, so far so good when it comes to not getting sick. 🙂

Tanya Harrison: Rizzmic Instructor Comes Out of Her Shell
Posted by DeAnn Rossetti
Dancing Rizzmic with Tanya Harrison is like having a weekend in a luxury health spa; a refreshing way to reinvigorate your body, mind and spirit. "Rizzmic is more than just a work out, it's a way to impact people's lives in a positive way," she said. "It's being happy with yourself and having fun while getting healthy with a warm and accepting group of people."
Surprisingly, Harrison wasn't always outgoing enough to be a Rizzmic instructor. A Seattle native, she grew up as a shy and empathetic child who wanted to take care of all the animals and children around her. "My mother was always worried about me being traumatized by pets passing away," she said. "But I knew that I wanted to help people feel better, even as a little child."
While attending Tahoma High School, Harrison realized that if she wanted a family, she'd have to put aside any dreams of becoming a doctor. She opted for nursing degrees instead, getting her associates and bachelors degrees in short order. She's been working as a nurse at Harborview Hospital in Seattle for the past 11 years.
Despite her warm and caring ways, Harrison struggled with shyness throughout her childhood, and in junior high school discovered that her love of music and movement could help her come out of her shell. "I discovered drum and bugle corps and color guard in junior high school, when I was learning to play the clarinet," she said. " I decided to become involved with the Seattle Imperials color guard because I'd always enjoyed dancing and gymnastics as a child, and I was drawn to the synchronized movements of color guard."
After marriage and the birth of her two children, Harrison felt the need to stay active, and starting taking dance classes at the University of Washington. Following that, she joined Fusion Dance Company on Capitol Hill, where participants danced every style from ballet to tap and jazz as well as African and Brazilian choreography. "So when I found a coupon for a Dance Fusion class taught by Cory (Crawford, co-founder of Rizzmic), I thought 'this is right up my alley!" Harrison said. "I enjoyed Rizzmic so much that I made it part of my routine, and I started to see the health benefits right away." Harrison notes that she's lost 40 pounds since starting Rizzmic, and is much happier as a person. However, Harrison was uncertain she wanted to take the next step and become a Rizzmic instructor. "Cory approached me and asked me to become certified (as a Rizzmic instructor), but it was so far out of my comfort zone, I said no," she relates. "I knew that I could dance, but when you're in a dance company on stage, you don't have to talk to people, they just watch you tell a story, and express emotion without talking."
Yet Cory persisted, and after seeing how contagious the happy feelings of Rizzmic had become, Harrison relented and decided to challenge herself to become confident as an instructor. Harrison and her fellow fledgling instructors not only had to learn the many and varied dance routines, they also had to learn to "cue" participants on what moves were coming next, and to adapt movements from low to high impact, to meet the needs of all sizes and shapes of Rizzmic participants.
Harrison's first Rizzmic class split her teaching time with her best friend Stacey Cierkowski, a fellow instructor she'd met while carpooling to one of Rizzmic's themed dance events. "I did half and she did half, so we only had to do eight routines each," she recalls. "Plus, since we'd been in training together, it was great to have that support and have time to built our Rizzmic arsenal."
Nearly 3 years later, Harrison is one of many instructors teaching all over the US. She's also AAFA certified in group fitness. "I teach Saturday mornings at 9:30 am at Thrive, but there are actually six of us teaching Rizzmic there nearly every day of the week," she said. "It's been wonderful watching the Rizzmic community flourish, with something I'm so invested in taking off and being successful."
Now that the former introvert just wants to get out there and hug Rizzmic participants, Harrison tells people she's never met to come to class and enjoy the benefits of dance exercise. "I tell everyone to get in there and do it, because once you try Rizzmic and feel all those positive vibes, you'll never want to quit."

Today the weather forecast was for a misty start with the sun breaking through by mid morning. This is exactly as it panned out on a local walk in the South Nottinghamshire Wolds I did today. The image above captures the mood of the early part of the day.
Seeing this view I realised that Autumn was well and truly with us. Ploughed fields and cropped hedgerows are typical of this time of year in the rural landscape. The mist is still hanging in over the wood on the right.
Of course the leaves have started to fall and I like this section of the walk which goes through one of the many woods on the route.

Contemporary Hotpoint stoves have a tag with the model number and serial number attached to the appliance, and the location varies. Hotpoint refers to its stoves as ranges. Finding the model number simplifies troubleshooting, finding a product manual online and ordering parts or service for your range. Model types include gas and electric and they come in standard sizes by width: 20-inch, 24-inch and 30-inch.
Step 1
Open the oven door all the way and look for a tag on the frame of the oven's opening. In many Hotpoint ranges the tag will be on the bottom of the frame near the door's hinges.
Step 2
Check other possible tag locations if you didn't find the tag when you opened the oven door. Open the drawer below the oven, if your stove has one, and look on the surface of the rim around the drawer cavity that's facing you. Check under the front left burner if your stove is electric.
Step 3
Lift the stovetop if it's an electric range with a liftable cooktop. Check on the right side and center of the cavity for a tag.
Step 4
Grip the kickplate if there is one -- a kickplate is a removable panel below the oven. Pull it free; it may be necessary to lift it slightly as you pull. Look for the tag on the stove's frame.
Step 5
Write down the model number from the tag. Take a close-up picture of your stove's tag and store it in your phone or other portable device for convenient reference.
