Iracema is the beautiful gatekeeper at the Sugar Loaf Natural Monument in Rio de Janeiro, greeting visitors on-foot. She's a striking 73-year-old woman with long white hair. She volunteers three days a week at the foot of the Claudio Coutinho Trail that wraps around the base of the mountain over Praia Vermelha. She is also an active participant on the Board of Advisors for the Natural Monument, and although she is a retired psychologist and teacher, she is getting her degree in biology at UniRio.
We spoke with Iracema on December 9, 2017, Volunteers' Day, at an event where we participated and she was honored for her environmental dedication.
Hear her eureka!
Urca Institute speaks to Iracema Brandão Dec/2017
Alexandra: Good morning, Iracema, may we record you while you stand here?
Iracema: Something short, quick since I am shy.
Alexandra: No need to be.
Iracema: My name is Iracema. I'm 73 years old. I've worked a lot all my life, mornings I'd work for the City Office of Health and Education, and then at the public hospital Miguel Couto, in the afternoons I taught at a private school and had a private practice, I was a psychologist, and I taught at a public state school, a night school. Then I retired, I thought it was really great being retired for about six months. After six months I missed working, doing something, I could contribute in some way with people and the environment. I took the Enem (preparation exams for university), and I passed because I now study at UniRio, in Natural Sciences, and then I began to look for work in this area, but since I didn't have my degree, a challenge. Even after graduating, it's still a challenge to find work. Then I learned about this volunteer position at the Secretariat of the Environment, I signed up and I've been working here ever since February. It's a luxury, a privilege, to work in a place like this where when you arrive the sabiás (rufous-bellied thrush) receive you in song, the maritacas (parakeet, Aratinga), you see birds, skunk, micos (capuchin monkeys, marmoset) pass by on the wall, many teiús (Tupinambis, tegus) live here, we see them in the morning, gosh, it's a gift to be able . . . and at the same time contributing doing my work of clicking counting, accountability of the people who enter by hour so that we have an idea on the environmental impact when there are lots of people, and I do environmental teaching with the groups who arrive. There are school groups, boy scouts, there are many church groups, evangelicals and Catholics, at first the evangelicals came, now the Catholics are coming too. So we explain the rules of a conservation unit. The rules are up there on the poster, but we go the extra mile to explain why you can't, why you can't feed the monkeys, why you can't pull up seedlings, why you can't eat the pitangas (Surinam cherry) and the mulberries, why you can't enter on bicycle, bring your dog, so it's work that . . . We can tell that some groups are not very interested, they arrive eager and cheerful, you need to be quick to communicate. Other groups are super-interested and the conversation can go on for 10 or 12 minutes. And we began to teach environmental studies at this school. We've already taken four, five classes but we haven't taken all of them, we need to continue; it's a public city school, a model school, the work the team develops with the children and parents is spectacular, the parents collaborate. When we take a class, sometimes the parents come with, wanting to help, they take off from work because it's during the week, they accompany their kids on these fieldtrips. In through it's not a fieldtrip, we call it that for the little ones, and they are well-informed, I'm impressed with the quality of work that the school does, we add details, because in truth they already know everything about this conservation area. We are at the gateway to the so-called Claudio Coutinho trail, which until recently was called Bem-te-vi (great kiskadee) path, when I was young we'd come here, there was no path. There was a sewage pipe that came out over there near the big pergola, and the children . . . there were no Havaiana flip flops, we used wooden clogs, and we'd take off those wooden clogs and go barefoot along the sewage pipe because there was no path. There was a hole carved into the boulder for the sewage, for the pipe, a pipe that was about 60 cm in diameter, and we'd walk along the top of it until the end where the sewage came out. The sewage was thrown directly onto the beach. They made this trail only in the 80s. In the beginning it was closed, it was only for the Army, and then they opened it, I don't remember what year, but my daughter was small, I think it was inaugurated in 82 and around 85,86 they opened it to visitation. And 11 years ago, it was turned into a Conservation Area. Now the Army was important because if they hadn't been here, there would already be a favela here, shanty houses, there have been attempts, but not the Conservation Area has the upper hand, but the infrastructure needs to improve, there's a reason we work with volunteers. There is a manager, Marcelo, and Ricardo, and no one else. There are the guards who are from the city too, and I'm impressed with the information that they have. They are well schooled, they do many courses to become environmental defense guards, and they have much specific information about this Conservation Area. So they are important people. I remember, once there was a snake on a tree, just like this, people running and the snake raising its head. And they wanted to throw stones, and then someone said, let's call the guard, who saved the day. He was completely calm, he grabbed the snake by the tail, by the head, and put it around his neck, like it were a shawl. It was fat like this. I said, big isn't it? He said, no, it's a young jiboia (boa constrictor). I thought that was great. Off he went all powerful with that jiboia around his neck like a scarf, to take it back to the caves where they live.
When we use the park, we want to find everything in a perfect state of conservation, we have no idea of the work it takes, and the care needed to conserve it. For example, I never tired of pulling up saplings and taking them home to plant on the veranda of my house, I had no idea how this . . . also it wasn't yet and Conservation Area, but even so, if I'd had any knowledge, I wouldn't have done it. As long as bananas became ripe in my house, I'd bring them to give to the monkeys and it was an enormous pleasure, I had no idea how I was altering the ecosystem, I had no idea that I was exposed to illnesses, to receive and pass along illnesses, herpes, for example. There are famous cases, one here in the Botanical Gardens, of someone with herpes who bit off a piece of banana, gave it to a mico, this Callithrix marmoset, and several died. The person who did this didn't do it on purpose, but by ignorance, so there's this thing, when the visitor starts out as a very ignorant person wanting to consume the environment, to feel pleasure in this consumption, to be here, breath this fresh air, but as things move along, even this visitor begins to become more conscious. And I think that since Rio 92 there's been a process of many people becoming more careful, having more information about the environment. That's what happened with me too, begin by not bringing bananas, when you see someone, say: that won't do, let the monkey hunt for bananas and fruit in the wild, there are no bananas here but there are fruits that need to be eaten, it's part of the cycle that they need to eat them so that the seeds fall to the ground, some need to pass through the digestive tract of the animals for the seed to become ready to germinate, if they don't pass through an animals digestive tract they won't germinate. These things you learn here, there. After you come to work, you see that this work to conserve is fundamental to leave nature for the future, for our children, for our grandchildren, for next generations, that this is not of the here and now, this here is for always, for us to conserve for the big future, something enormous. It's small, repetitive work, you need to say the same things, sometimes it's even boring, the work is lonely, I stay here, but look here, it's a luxury to arrive here in the morning, I've worked in a closed office up there, in a private practice up on the 10th floor, you don't know if it's raining outside, you don't have sunlight, you don't see anything, and here this great beautiness, it's very nice. As for the role of humans, I'm no ingénue, I think man needs to use the environment to survive. Nature can not be something semi-religious, semi-purist of the untouchable quality of nature, it's not that. But it is a concept of the conscious use of nature, a careful usage in the sense of preserving, altering the minimal possible. I think that this is the big question. And this balance is hard, I guess. I think that in a world where what matters is profit, profit becomes the crux of the question of development, and profit is tied to consumerism, it's necessary to consume, consume, consume, and there's no easy way out. We will consume nature. I think there needs to be a change that places at the center of the economic question, not profit, but the human figure and its necessities, profit needs to be in second place and diminish consumption, there's no other way I can see. If we continue consuming the world as we consume it, we will no longer fit here, we will destroy everything that we . . . everything that has been done, everything that's evolved until now. I think it's a challenge.
I came to live in Urca in 1946. The Guanabara Bay was clean. I lived in Urca facing the sea, in a little building on the second floor, it was a luxury. I remember the varanda of my house was narrow, but my mother put a children's table on it and some little chairs where my sister and I had breakfast, something like this. And we'd see, I saw baleotes, small whales, I saw boto, but like this, we tired of seeing boto, seeing shark, we learned to distinguish what it was, boto would do this movement curving in the ocean and the shark wouldn't, zuuum, it cut that fin that it had, that dorsal swimmer, "it's a shark, it's a shark." From the varanda we could see it. The water was clear. So small children asked for masks, which at the time were those masks like those of pearl divers, the Japonese, I remember mine. I don't remember if it was because it was cheaper, I know that we had those masks, then we'd see a thousand fish, we'd see seahorses, there was a lot of algea; there still is, I'm impressed because people sometimes dive in Urca, the dark waters, sometimes somewhat brown waters, but the quality of this water is much better. We do a study at the university, at UniRio, in a lab called Lagua, we collect water from beaches in the region, 85 % of the time the water at Urca beach is clean. Praia Vermelha is always clean. We see solid waste floating, plastic floating, and that gives us the sensation that the water is dirty, but in reality, from the point of view of sewage, it's not, it's clean. We examine fecal coliforms that are the indicators of sewage, so 85% of the time the water from Urca beach is clean. The beaches Fortaleza de São João too, but now the ones in Botafogo . . .
I imagine that in the United States it must be something spectacular, without volunteers, everyone hired . . .
Alexandra: not at all . . .
Iracema: No, it's similar. As I said, we're not so badly off here. Good morning!


text: Friendship August 10, 2014 in the summer of 1991, I walked into my first photography class in Roanoke, VA taught by Martin Church. I didn't think of it as anything but another class I needed to take and in fact, I almost took it with another instructor. Luckily my advisor battled me into taking Marty's class. This ended up being a life altering decision because had I not taken that class, I never would have went to Virginia Intermont College and who know if I would have a Bachelors degree in anything? Also this has been a friendship filled with hiking, camping, canoes, roadtrips, food, vacations, parties, music, books, street characters, family, all night printing and film developing and even seeing Jesus Christ himself when we put liquid light on the cabinet door and developed it. There have been a few times when I have thought this is it! Like when he moved to Arizona and then Hawaii but it just allowed me to visit those places and we began sharing through mail and e-mail. Eventually his family was just a drive away again, Allowing me to spend countless weekends like this one. I i have learned a lot from Marty but the sharing of Ideas and great conversations I think have shaped me as a person. I owe the man so much for setting me on this journey that started with one photography class and has turned into a lifelong friendship with grey hair and in my case a balding head.

Dealing With Jealousy
Even though a tiny amount of jealousy in a relationship is an indication that both of you love another, it may also choke your relationship to death if it's over-the-top. There is only one way to get away from an overly jealous boyfriend, and that is to break up with him. Really. If, however, you are unable or unwilling to do that, even though your boyfriend is overly jealous, because you aren't ready to end your relationship when everything else is fine between you, there are things in this article to help you deal with an overly jealous boyfriend.
Positive Things You Can Do
- 1When he starts to get jealous, be sweet to him.Advertisement
- 2Always show your love in many ways.Advertisement
- 3Don't be a martyr and reprimand him if you have to.
- 4If possible, avoid things that make him jealous.
- 5Tell him that you are not the same as his ex.
- 6Have an open forum with him.
- A relationship will not work if both of you have too much pride. Physical aggression and emotional abuse can happen in a relationship where jealousy is always a threat, and one or both of you easily lose your temper. It can be your boyfriend that hurts you or vice versa. You aren't kids anymore, and you should talk it over with your boyfriend. Always control your temper if your boyfriend is starting to get jealous of something in order to avoid physical and emotional abuse from both sides. Instead, be soft and sweet to him, despite his jealousy. In this way, it will help him calm down.
- After reading this article, I would like to add that jealousy is not your problem, if you aren't doing anything to provoke him. It's his insecurities. It's very difficult to change someone's behavior. As much as he should accept you exactly as you are, so you must accept him. If he is being unreasonable, and causing issues because of his problems, why not walk away before it's too late? Find a guy who's secure, and become the best you can be by their side, not in spite of them. No one should have to walk on eggshells just to soothe a savage beast.
- if he shows any signs of violence, or signs he's having trouble holding back his anger, get out.
- If he makes you feel bad about yourself because of his insecurity, get out.
- If he makes you unhappy, get out.
Questions and Answers
How can I get my boyfriend to stop having jealous rages?
My boyfriend gets jealous rages, but he does not tell me about it. He keeps it to himself and tells me everything is okay. But then he does not talk to me for days. I don't know if talking to him will make him more upset or help him.
Any jealousy has feeling of property as its basis; however, that is a natural feeling that can even improve an interpersonal relationship if it is felt in moderation. The way the person expresses his or her jealousy depends upon his or her psychological qualities. Your boyfriend keeps all of his feelings to himself, and, most likely, he is an introvert. Just like violent displays of jealousy, silence that lasts several days is not healthy and can deteriorate even the strongest relationship. Silence causes discomfort on all sides. Psychologists claim that a jealous person is not only afraid of losing a beloved person but also possesses low self-esteem and a strong psychological dependence upon the relationship with the partner. Analyze his reasons for jealousy and what feeds his thoughts. Jealous people often surmise that they are loved less than others. Maybe he doesn't receive enough attention and "proof" of those feelings to make him feel safe. Talk to him and explain that you love only him and that the strength of the feeling does not change when you talk to other men. Praise his qualities to increase his confidence. Try to analyze if you highlight advantages of others in his presence or flirt with others. If he feels himself as the only person in your heart, then his jealousy will fade away.
Should I just leave him because of this jealousy? He has even been married before and divorced and he is only 24.
We only have been together for 6 months. We are never apart except for when we're at work. At work he calls me every 20-30 minutes and if he hears a man's voice he screams and calls me names, I had to "unfriend" every guy from my social media as did he all his female friends. I cannot wear tight clothing or sweat pants. I cannot go to the store alone, I cannot smoke, I cannot go to school because "I will cheat " but I've never cheated. As a matter of fact although we are always together I have seen him give attention to other females in front of me but God forbid it happens the other way around or someone looks at me. I need help or I'm at the point of leaving. I have tried: conversation, mainly. I think it was caused by: It happened as soon as we became a little serious
He has mega security issues. Most likely he has been in unfaithful relationships in the past and now every woman is unfaithful. His controlling behavior sounds quite scary and you should leave. You sound miserable and who wants to live in a cage for the rest of their life?
No one should ever stop you from getting an education. NO ONE. Possible cheating is not an excuse to deny you an education. If you looked up warning signs for spousal abuse, unfortunately several of the issues you listed are red flags for future spousal abuse.
He is not jealous but instead controlling. He is jealous. AND controlling. And insecure, and don't kid yourself into thinking he's been cheated on - men who cheat aren't able to trust their partners. Get out. Don't be a statistic - just get out. Thank goodness it's only been six months. But, just a word of caution, any violence in this man, and I assure you there is, will be at its absolute worst when you tell him you're leaving.
How to get over his insecurities?
My boyfriend is just too jealous and at times it feels that he is pushing me away. I have tried: Tried talking to him. I think it was caused by: His ex
The only way you can help his is with constant assurance that he is the one and only for you. This can be an exhausting task but if you think that this relationship has a future, it will be worth it.
- Send him text messages throughout the day about how much you love him.
- Give him a complete account of your day.
- Talk about permanence and future for your relationship.
- Be careful who you talk to when you are out with him.
- Avoid situations that even though they are innocent, can cause doubts for him.
If you work on his insecurities this way, eventually he should be able to relax. Next time the subject comes up; let him know that this relationship can't grow if he is stuck in the past. You are not his ex and he needs to realize that people can be trusted but he is virtually pushing you out of the relationship.
Can his jealousy completely break our bond?
My boyfriend is very envious of my guy friends. Out of respect for our relationship, I eased up on my relationships with my guy friends, but he still gets so upset every time I bring up something that reminds him of those friends. He shuts me down when we're talking and sometimes I feel that he's just way too immature for a relationship.
Deal With Your Girlfriend's Male Friend is a VisiHow article with some suggestions you could try. He may be too insecure and immature for a serious relationship, especially if he is young and has not had many serious relationships. There is a learning curve in each relationship we have and he may be gaining the coping skills to deal with jealousy.
For now, avoid subjects that upset him. Plan a party and ask that he invite people and you invite your friends and you get to know each other. If he accepts, then perhaps the opportunity to physically see there is no threat with these friendships may help. If he shuts down when you suggest the party, back off and wait before approaching the issue again.
His jealousy can end the relationship. If you think that you can't handle walking on eggshells around him, let him know that you love him but can't live with the insecurities. Approach the subject gently so that he does not feel threatened and shut down.
My boyfriend is jealous, I'm 400 miles away from him.
Now I look for an appropriate text message to calm him down and make him sure of my feelings that are not (yet) love. Can you help?

Sullivan's Salvos 11/13/12 In this edition: *Election Observations *Thanks! *United Way *A Favorite Quote… *Seven Myths of Government Bashing, Part 7 *Did You Know? *Election Observations My observations on the results of our recent elections: Starting at the top, President Obama was a clear choice of the American people. He won the Electoral College in a blowout, and won the popular vote by a decent margin. I hope this will convince the House to compromise with him a bit. My guess is that will not occur until voters begin punishing the obstructionists in Congress. Given the many very partisan Districts out there, I'm not sure that will occur. I guess we will see! Congressman Loebsack easily outdistanced John Archer to win reelection. Dave is a favorite punching bag for the media, but the thing they fail to understand is how hard he works the District. His constituents – be they in Clinton, Burlington, or Newton – see him a couple times every month. His staff attends everything. His accessibility is unmatched. People have actually spoken to Dave, and found him to be smart and caring. People like that. The media can continue to punish Loebsack for beating Leach, but the people understand. As for other US House races – It was good to see Bruce Braley win a resounding victory. I was sorry to see Christy Vilsack fall short in her bid. Third District – it is your turn! How about producing a female candidate for Congress in 2014? At the State level, all the Justices were retained- big blow in favor of equality. Democrats made big gains in the Iowa House, and barely held the Iowa Senate. This result made my job MUCH easier over the next two years! At the State level locally, my colleague Sally Stutsman is headed to Des Moines. That will create an opening on the Board; more about that in a future edition of Salvos. I was sad to see friends Dick Schwab, Nate Willems and Sara Sedlacek fall short in their races. I have already reached out to newly elected Representative Bobby Kauffman to see how we can work together. Locally, the 3 Board incumbents and Sheriff won reelection, and Travis Weipert was elected Auditor. The Justice Center received an impressive 57% of the vote, but fell short of the required 60% needed. I was very disappointed by that result. (More about that in next week's edition of Salvos!) A couple other things worthy of mention: where given the opportunity, voters supported legalization of marijuana and marriage equality. I hope elected officials take note! I do believe there are two central themes to the evening's results. First, I think the US voted strongly in favor of equality. The people of this country are not mean. They do not want to hurt their neighbors. They may not love everything about their neighbors, but live and let live ruled the day. The people are basically seeking fairness. That makes me proud to be an American. Secondly, this was a victory for government. People know government is not perfect. They know government cannot do everything. But they also know that government does all sorts of good things. They want a strong and effective government. Government is NOT something for 47% of the people – it is for 100% of the people! Thanks again to all who threw a hat into the ring and stood for election. And congratulations to all the winners at every level. I wish you all luck! *Thanks! I was reelected on Tuesday to a third term. It is an honor and a privilege to represent the people of Johnson County. I promise to do my best to earn your trust. My sincere thanks for your support! I am always willing to listen to your comments and concerns. Please feel free to contact me at this e-mail address, or by phone at the Board Office (356-6000) or home (354-7199). *United Way The United Way campaign is underway. I hope you will choose to be a supporter. Melissa and I are big supporters of the United Way and the United Way affiliated agencies. We give generously, I think – about $3300 annually on a combined income of $100k. We also volunteer when and where we can. So United Way is in our blood. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be in the blood of enough Johnson County residents. I just heard a statistic that only 4% of all adults in Johnson County contribute to the United Way. Only 4%! That is simply too low, folks. One in three families in Johnson County uses a United Way service. Let's get at least one in three contributing to the United Way! *A Favorite Quote… Much as we love and support the United Way, we must also work toward systemic change. Wouldn't it be great if the United Way agencies were not needed so much? This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite quotes, from education activist and writer Jonathon Kozol: "Charity is no substitute for justice." Simple, poignant, and true. I LOVE it! *Seven Myths of Government Bashing A friend recently sent me a great piece by Gail Cohen entitled "Seven Myths of Government Bashing". I like this piece so much that I have decided to divide it into seven parts and run it in Salvos. Today, Part 7: CLAIM: Anything government can do, business can do better. ANSWER: In America, we don't look to government to take on money-making, potentially profitable ventures. We leave that for the private sector, with its healthy, profit-seeking motivation. We look to government to do things that all citizens require, even those citizens that can't pay. The postal service delivers mail to everyone, because not everyone can afford UPS and Fed Ex. Public schools have to let in all the kids, even those who might never read or write or do math very well. Not everyone can afford a car, so you have to have busses. Not all goods can be delivered on airplanes, so you have to have trains, even though they're not profitable. Since we haven't found a way to keep germs on the poor side of town, we have to have hospitals where poor people can get treated. Notice every institution I just mentioned is the frequent butt of anti-government jokes. It's true that none of these ventures make money, because they're not allowed to choose whom they treat, educate, deliver mail to, or drive around town. Now, businesses often say that they can run these ventures "at a profit," and do them "better than government." What they mean is that they can cut people off who can't pay. But profitability is not the point of these services. They are necessities and are provided by government, for everybody, without regard to profit. Therefore, they will forever be considered "money-losers" and "inefficient." *DID YOU KNOW? 43% of Johnson County residents work in the public sector. Anyone interested in learning more about County government should take a look at the County website- www.johnson-county.com. "Sullivan's Salvos" is sent once per week to any interested party. It will give a brief update on issues of interest to Johnson County residents. These messages come solely from Rod Sullivan, and neither represents the viewpoints of the whole Board of Supervisors nor those of groups or individuals otherwise mentioned.

Rising funeral costs raised in parliament./
The rising costs of funerals has been raised in parliament by MP Emma Lewell-Buck saying some people are holding "do it yourself" funerals with rising costs putting even a basic service out of many families' reach.
The Labour MP for South Shields said the average funeral had reached £3,551.
In my opinion one of the real issues underpinning this problem is the amount of financial support available to families through the benefits system and the complex nature in how it is calculated as well as what is charged in the industry.
At Andrew Phillips Funeral Services we try and help families where we can and already offer a simple funeral service at a fair price to help those families who have financial challenges.
A simple funeral service should include the Collection and care of the deceased as well as all the necessary arrangements, whilst still allowing families if they wish to provide their own flowers or orders of services etc.
However when it comes to "Do it yourself" funerals some families want to be able make these arrangements not through financial choice but because they want to be able to look after their loved one and lead the funeral arrangements as the last thing that they can do for the person they loved. This is very true for some religions, because everyone is different and this is sometimes something that helps them through their grief. In truth on this decision there is no right or wrong way, which is why we are able to support families who want to lead their own funeral service of facilitate them conducting a "DIY" funeral.
It is true that families should not be forced into making their own funeral arrangements purley out of financial choice and this is something that funeral directors, as members of the community, should be able to support with. However Funeral Directors are not the only ones who need to hold this responsibility as sometimes half or 1/3 of the funeral costs are for 3rd party fees such as the cost of the burial plot or cremation fees.
When it comes to claiming from the DWP for help with funeral costs the system for releasing payments to help families with the funeral payments is a complex one and often takes weeks to process the payment to the funeral director. It also can sometimes be difficult to claim and where the average payout tends to be less than the final bill.
I'm not sure what the right answer is on this topic, so as family run independent funeral directors "Andrew Phillips Funeral Services" try to help clients where they have financial challenges, but one thing is for sure families should not have to rely on pay day loans to be able to pay for the funeral.
So where is the answer?
Some believe it lies within the funeral industry itself, others in Government. In my experience both working together for the good of the client is what really matters as well as Funeral Directors offering a low cost simple funeral service to families in conjunction with good support from local authorities and other industry suppliers ensuring that they also offer low cost alternatives.
For anyone struggling or worried about the cost of a funeral please free to give me a call for advice.

You may have a great idea to make an amazing and outstanding iPhone application but you are clueless regarding where to start it from. In this article we will focus more on the development of such applications. You need to follow some basic steps along with hardware and software requirements and getting an approval from the app store for the final submission. iPhone applications are based on objective C. There are many frameworks using which you can build an effective iPhone application.
Time frame required for the application development would depend on your ability to grasp the programming language required for learning these applications. When it comes to application development, there is no shortcut or a quick way. It is a continuous learning process and it would grow with each passing day.
Steps towards making of a successful iPhone application:
- Setup to begin with, you would need Apple iPhone SDK software. Along with major other things, the kit has a simulator that allows the developer top test the application before finally submitting it.
- Learning: you need to learn the basics of the kit.
- Experiment: log in to the developer's account on the Apple site and try running some sample Xcode projects just to know how things work.
- Set Up: you need to set up your application. Every phone has a unique id and various certificates which are needed to be authenticate by the developer. It would make it possible for you to develop tha application on your computer.
- Coding: you need to learn the objective C part before proceeding further. Code the application and test it once it is ready to be tested.
- Test: once you are sure that the application is up to the mark test it before submitting it to Apple store
- Debug: for any bug problem identify the roots and try curing the problem from the core.
- Review: Once the application is up in the Apple Store, monitor it regularly to learn the feedback. Also take it positively and improve all the problems faced by the users.

About Miguel Zenón
"This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century."
— MacArthur Foundation, 2008.
Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz.
Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has built a distinguished career as a leader, releasing twelve albums under his own name. In addition, he has crafted his artistic identity by dividing his time equally between working with older jazz masters and the music's younger innovators –irrespective of styles and genres. The list of musicians Zenón has toured and/or recorded with includes: The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, Danilo Pérez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Guillermo Klein & Los Guachos, The Jeff Ballard Trio, Antonio Sánchez, David Gilmore, Paoli Mejías, Brian Lynch, Jason Lindner, Dan Tepfer, Miles Okazaki, Dan Weiss, Ray Barreto, Andy Montañez, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band, The Mingus Big Band, Bobby Hutcherson and Steve Coleman.
As a composer he has been commissioned by SFJAZZ, The New York State Council for the Arts, Chamber Music America, NYO JAZZ , The Logan Center for The Arts, The Hyde Park Jazz Festival, The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, MIT, Jazz Reach, Peak Performances, PRISM Quartet and many of his peers.
Zenón has been featured in articles on publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, Bloomberg Pursuits, Jazz Times, Jazziz, Boston Globe, Billboard, Jazz Inside, Newsday and Details. In addition he topped both the Jazz Artist of the Year and Alto Saxophonist of the Year categories on the 2014 Jazz Times Critics Poll and was selected as the Alto Saxophonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalist Association in 2015, 2018 and 2019.
His biography would not be complete without discussing his role as an educator. In 2003, he was chosen by the Kennedy Center to teach and perform in West Africa as part of their Jazz Ambassador program. Since then, he has given hundreds of lectures and master classes and has taught all over the world at institutions which include: The Banff Centre, Berklee College of Music, Siena Jazz, Universidad Veracruzana, Conservatorium Van Amsterdam, Musik Akademie Basel, Conservatoire de Paris, University of Manitoba, Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico, Manhattan School of Music, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Columbia University, Princeton University, The Kimmel Center, UMass-Amherst and the Brubeck Institute. He is also a permanent faculty member at New England Conservatory of Music. But perhaps what best reflects his commitment to education and cements his growing reputation as a "cultural ambassador", is a program that he founded in 2011, called Caravana Cultural.
The main purpose of Caravana Cultural is to present free-of-charge Jazz concerts in rural areas of Puerto Rico. The program makes a "cultural investment" in the Island by giving these communities a chance to listen to jazz of the highest caliber (Zenón invites some of the best musicians in the New York jazz scene to perform as guests), while at the same time getting young Puerto Rican musicians actively involved in the concert activities. Since February 2011, Zenón has presented a concert every four to six months. Each concert focuses on the music of a specific jazz legend (Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, among others) and is preceded by a pre-concert presentation which touches on the basic elements of jazz and improvisation. Since 2005 Zenón has also personally organized "Jazz Jam Sessions" in the area of San Juan, as a way of creating a platform for younger jazz musicians to grow and interact with one another.
In 2008 he was selected as one of 25 distinguished individuals to receive the prestigious and coveted MacArthur Fellowship, more commonly known as the "Genius Grant".
Zenón lives in New York City with his wife Elga and their daughter.
Albums as a Leader
Zenón's twelve recordings as a leader represent not only his growth as a musician, but also his ability to constantly evolve and reinvent himself as a conceptualist and producer.
Sonero: The Music of Ismael Rivera (Miel Music, 2019) – his latest release – pays tribute to Ismael Rivera, the legendary Puerto Rican vocalist and interpreter who revolutionized Latin-American music in the 50's, 60's and 70's. The album (which features the award winning Miguel Zenón Quartet) boldly re-imagines classics such as "Las Caras Lindas", "Quitate de La Via, Perico" and "El Nazareno", capturing the spirit of Maelo while injecting it with the distinctive boldness of Zenón's writing. Unheard but not unacknowledged, the stories the lyrics tell float in the heads of the musicians, as they channel the essence of Ismael Rivera into their own instrumental masterwork.
Yo Soy la Tradición (Miel Music, 2018) is a collection of eight works for alto saxophone and string quartet which feature Zenón and the Chicago-based, internationally renowned Spektral Quartet. These chamber works reach far beyond the formula of a horn backed by strings, with the Quartet taking a central role in both driving and navigating the intricate compositional forms that are a trademark of the saxophonist's music. Zenón set out to compose a series of chamber pieces taking both creative inspiration and formal patterning from his native Puerto Rico's cultural, religious, and musical traditions. The results are thrilling, and defy neat categorization with their emergent contemporary sensibility: structural beauty paired with emotional urgency. Yo Soy La Tradición received two Grammy nominations, for Best Latin Jazz Album and Best Improvised Jazz Solo. It was also chosen as one of the best recordings of 2018 by The San Diego Tribune, The Chicago Tribune, Jazz Times, Arts Fuse, NPR and La Fundación Para La Cultura Popular, among others.
Típico (Miel Music, 2017) celebrates the Miguel Zenón Quartet, his working band of more than 15 years, which includes Venezuelan pianist Luis Perdomo, Austrian bassist Hans Glawischnig and fellow Puerto Rican drummer Henry Cole. The album features original music by Zenón, which was specifically written for the members of the Quartet and directly inspired by their individual playing and personalities. The end result is a testament to the band's unique chemistry and their outstanding collective musicianship. Típico was nominated for a Grammy and a Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album and chosen as one of the best recordings of 2017 by NPR, The Chicago Tribune, Jazz Times, The Boston Globe, The Huffington Post, The San Diego Tribune and All Music, among others.
Identities are Changeable (Miel Music, 2014) is inspired by the idea of national identity as experienced by the Puerto Rican community in the United States, specifically in the New York area. All the music on the album is written around a series of interviews with several individuals, all of them New Yorkers of Puerto Rican descent. The narrative created by these conversations gave birth to all the compositions on the record, with audio excerpts from the interviews weaving in and out each piece. The album, which is also complemented by a video installment by David Dempewolf, features Zenón's longstanding quartet (with Luis Perdomo, Hans Glawischnig and Henry Cole) plus a twelve-piece large ensemble comprised of some of the best musicians in jazz today. Identities Are Changeable was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album and chosen as one of the best recordings of 2014 by NBC News, NPR, The Boston Globe, Rhapsody, All About Jazz and Jazz News Magazine, among others.
Oye!!! Live in Puerto Rico (Miel Music, 2013) features the debut recording of The Rhythm Collective, an ensemble first put together in 2003 for a month long tour of West Africa. The group includes Aldemar Valentín on Electric Bass, Tony Escapa on Drums and Reinaldo de Jesus on percussion; all native Puerto Ricans and some of the most coveted musicians in their respective fields. Fed by the energy of the full capacity audience in attendance, the group delivers a high intensity performance which includes originals by Zenon and covers of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" and Silvio Rodríguez' "El Necio".
Rayuela (Sunnyside Records 2012), is a collaboration with French pianist/composer Laurent Coq. It was inspired by the literary masterpiece of the same name by Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar (Hopscotch in English) and the compositions on the recording look to translate some of the most memorable characters and passages from the book into musical terms. They are joined by Dana Leong (cello and trombone) and Dan Weiss (tabla, drums and percussion), masterful musicians who helped create the unique ensemble sound that distinguishes this very special project.
Alma Adentro (Marsalis Music, 2011), is a tribute to The Puerto Rican Songbook. On it he arranges and explores the music of five legendary Puerto Rican composers: Bobby Capó, Tite Curet Alonso, Pedro Flores, Rafael Hernández, and Sylvia Rexach (whom he considers "the George Gershwins, Cole Porters and Jerome Kerns of Puerto Rican song"). The recording features his longtime working quartet of pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Hans Glawischnig and drummer Henry Cole, plus a ten-piece woodwind ensemble orchestrated and conducted by close friend and collaborator Guillermo Klein. This groundbreaking project both honors the music of these masters while at the same time exposing their music to new audiences. Alma Adentro was chosen as the Best Jazz Recording of 2011 by iTunes and NPR, and was nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album and a 2012 Latin Grammy for Best Instrumental Album.
Esta Plena (Marsalis Music, 2009) draws from the traditional Plena music style of his home country and was supported by a fellowship from the prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. On it Zenón augmented his quartet to include three percussionists/vocalists and took on the additional roles of both lyricist and vocalist. Jazz Times wrote that Esta Plena is "…music with integrity, energy, poise and a fresh vision of how the Afro-Caribbean jazz aesthetic can evolve without losing its deep roots." In addition to being hailed by critics (New York Times, Village Voice, El Nuevo Día, Downbeat, The Chicago Tribune) as one of the best recordings of 2009, the recording earned Zenón two Grammy nominations (one for Best Improvised solo and one for Best Latin Jazz Recording of the year) as well as a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Recording of the year.
Decidedly more personal and introspective, Awake (Marsalis Music, 2008) incorporates a string quartet and additional horns to Zenón's core group and brings to the forefront his formidable skills as a writer and arranger. As was admirably put in Audiophile Audition: " This is an album far beyond the usual sax & string outing, revealing a unique statement that communicates passion, intellect and spirit to the listener." Awake also caught the attention of the international press, garnering it 5 star reviews and top honors in publications like Jazzwise (UK), Jazz Man (France) and Jazz Magazine (France).
Jíbaro (Marsalis Music, 2005), his third recording, was further proof that all the critical praise he had been receiving was well deserved. The recording is an exploration of a style of popular Puerto Rican folk music known as La Música Jíbara. The Chicago Tribune summed it up best when they wrote: "The instrumental prowess of Zenon's playing, the vigor of his compositions and the sensitivity of his band to Puerto Rican song forms point to new possibilities in jazz." Like his previous recordings, Jíbaro was uniformly well received and appeared on many top ten lists including The New York Times, Latin Beat, El Nuevo Día, and the Chicago Tribune.
His second recording as a leader, Ceremonial (Marsalis Music, 2004), was described by All About Jazz as a " head on crash of Latin, Jazz and Classical traditions–modern Jazz at it's very best, " and garnered unanimous critical praise and recognition both within and outside the jazz world.
His debut CD, Looking Forward (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2002), represents a snapshot of the very eclectic musical interests of the then 24-year-old musician, and was selected by the New York Times as the number one "alternative" jazz recording of 2002.

Back Program
Did you know eight out of ten Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives? And, many patients receive unnecessary imaging services such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs within the first month after diagnosis of back pain.
Common causes of back pain include:
- Improper lifting
- Sudden, strenuous physical effort
- Accidents, sports injuries, or falls
- Improper sleeping position and/or pillow positioning
- Poor sitting or standing position
- Bending forward for extensive periods of time
- Holding the phone receiver to your ear with your shoulder
- Carrying a heavy purse, backpack, or briefcase
The WINhealth Back Program consists of a partnership between WINhealth and selected physical therapists to offer patient outcome-based care for your back pain. If you are experiencing back pain, this may help you to:
- Return to work
- Find relief from your symptoms and return to your normal activities of daily life
- Avoid costly and less effective medical imaging, surgery or injections
The ABCs of our Back Program
Acute pain, often resulting from a back injury may last for 1 to 3 weeks and is usually resolved under the care of your primary care physician. Chronic back pain is persistent and resistant to standard treatments.
If you have persistent (chronic) pain, your physician can refer you to the Back Program. While participating in the Back Program, you can expect to have physical therapy visits which will likely include:
- Postural correction
- Core strengthening
- Body mechanics
- Ergonomics
Once you have completed these sessions, an individualized program will be recommended based on your needs.
The WINhealth Back Program is an outcome-based, active physical therapy program. Our Health Management Quality Coordinator will assess your progress and collect results through a satisfaction survey, immediate follow-up calls and a six-month follow-up call. Additionally, our Coordinator will notify your referring physician upon your completion of the program.
Additional Information
Copayments for your physical therapy visits will be waived while you are in the program; however, deductibles and coinsurance may still apply.
Once you are enrolled in the program, you will receive an average of eight physical therapy sessions focused on body mechanics and core strengthening. Depending upon your progress, you may require up to 20 physical therapy visits, which is the maximum allowed under the program. Upon your completion of the program, our Health Management Quality Coordinator will follow-up with you to determine the long-term success of the program.
The Back Program is administered by our Medical Director.
For more information about the Back Program, we encourage you to contact Wanda Mohatt, RN at (307) 773-1300 ext. 251 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Adjusting to being "normal" fat
The pic above is a bit of a misrepresentation. Add another 47 lbs to the "before" picture. I was just coming out of the few 5x shirts I'd crept into which would've translated to a 34 I think. The pants were 4x but my largest pant purchase were elastic 38 jeans. Honestly those were always too big for me but the gut was cut weird so in order for me to sit without discomfort I had to go up. I think I only had one more size up to go before I was at the biggest size a catalog would offer and I knew that was a bad, bad thing. I think that played a little part in me finally getting my act together. You know, a gal's gotta have clothes, even if horribly unfashionable.

I've got a cold which doesn't help things but doesn't hinder too much either. I'm not one of those incessant whiners who uses being sick as an excuse not to exercise. I do what I can, as hard as I can knowing I'll do better when I'm feeling 100%. Still irritating though. Pffft!
I started my new BC pills yesterday. Let's hope these magic beans are just the thing to balance my hormones and who knows what else. I wish I had brought this up with my gynie months ago when I first noticed a surge of weirdness. I know that this month will likely be an adjustment month, I just hope it doesn't screw with my weight. The doc said it's "weight neutral" and in reading about my old pills, they were not so I'm not expecting miracles but optimistic. Note how I'm not telling you what it is? LOL I don't want to hear horror stories from people and worry myself unnecessarily. I just want to adjust to it unbiased.
Tonight is hickory naan "pizza." Too bad I won't be able to taste it. Boo! Apparently I made a pretty awesome chicken parmesan panini last night. 10 Grain bread, 4 oz of grilled chicken breast with italian seasoning, 2 tbsp marinara and lite muenster in lieu of parmesan. What I could taste of it was yummy! The Mr was thoroughly pleased.
Hope everyone is ready for a great week!

If I Hear That One More Time!!!
So what is the advice that irritates you the most? The line or lines that you're told that grate on your last nerve and make you want to scream...DUH!
Mine are many but I'd say my biggest one is "you didn't put it on overnight, you're not going to lose it overnight" or its equivalent..."it's not a race."
What is yours?
Happy Friday all!

Workin' the plan
So yesterday was day 1 of the reduction of calories. By lunchtime I definitely felt the absence of the peanut butter on my nana because that held me all morning. So that won't be all the time but this morning I'm having my TJ's Blueberry oatmeal (you know, the one I LOVE that Trader Joe's decided to DISCONTINUE this week!?!? Seriously, this is 5th thing in 2 visits we've gotten discontinued on us. We're not going to have a reason to make an extra trip there if they keep doing this so knock it off JOE!!)...where was I? Oh yeah, oatmeal...so I'm adding my chia seeds to that today which should help hold me over. Who knew those little green afro pottery sprouts could do so much for you including keep you fuller longer? But I've planned out my meals through Thursday and it seems I don't really have to try to cut back so I'm hoping this isn't a painful process at all. If I get that horrific mid-morning gut drop then I'll just have my cut veggies to tide me over. That was the plan yesterday but I forgot. Oops. But for right now, I feel good about the plan. I'm hoping that this was the direction I was supposed to go. I mean why does the body have to be so complicated to figure out? Why can't you get all the number crunching in and it spits out a sheet of paper telling you what you need to change in order to keep losing weight. But then again, what orifice would the sheet come from? Never mind.

Where's yo head at?
If anyone checked in Saturday, you saw I am on week 3 of no weight loss. The Mr lost 3 lbs (a major rarity for either of us these days) and I'm happy for him. But I ask, how is it fair that he hasn't tracked the past 2 weeks and lost 4 lbs while I track vigilantly and lose 0? *shaking head* Oh I know "men lose faster / better / more efficient than women" but we've both been stuck in the same place for a while but he's pulling out of his slump while I'm still stuck in the muck. It only makes me want smack him a little. But seriously, I am happy for him even if it didn't seem that way. I sobbed uncontrollably for about 30 minutes. I mean I literally had no control over the tears rolling down my cheeks which is irritating when you're trying to put on makeup. It soured my attitude for a good portion of the day. I decided to put the final nail in the coffin by going to my favorite plus size store to confirm I'm still solidly in a 26 and not a 24 like I hoped. (Remembering I started at a 36 and owned 1 pair of 38's that never really fit but I still wore them a few times) One pair laughed at me, one pair screamed "give up" and the other said "uh yeah, I'm not even going over your hamhock calves so give it up sister!" Oddly it didn't do anything to my already pissy attitude, I just wanted to see how far I am from the next size down and they all sang in unison..."far." I am tired of tweaking, tired of number tracking, tired of the whole thing. I ate a lot more on our high cal day (or it felt that way, it was nowhere near some of our worst) because I just didn't care. I was so full that I was full into yesterday morning and didn't eat breakfast. Haven't done that for a long time and I hate that feeling. Lots of sodium which by mid-day made my rings impossible to move.

My doc is the best
She wanted to know all about my plan now, caloric intake, etc. As she's readying "the contraption" I was telling her how we do kickboxing, HIIT training, strength and low impact aerobics too. I told her my calorie range and how much I burn during my workouts according to my heart rate monitor. She stopped and looked at me and said "that is a lot of information to work with" I told her we had a need to know and even had a bod pod test done so we could see if we were headed in the right direction and she said "THAT is why you're going to keep the weight off. You're taking this seriously." I said "I don't know what's making me take it seriously now of all times, I wish I would've taken it this serious when I was younger." She said "it doesn't matter why you didn't do it then, you're doing it now and that needs to be celebrated." "I suppose so but I'm having to kick and fight for every pound." "How much weight have you lost?" "166 lbs." "That's no small feat and you need to be proud of that because I'm proud of you" and she hugged me. I will remember that. It won't make the pace of the loss these days any less frustrating or defeating at times but she's right. Like she pointed out, "you lost a normal sized man!" I said "now I just have to lose a skinny, tall chick and I'll be good to go!" She laughed and said "you've carried that couple around long enough."
Did I mention she's the best?

Inching along
We're redecorating the bedroom so I've been cleaning the closet and decided to torture myself by trying on some clothes that I tried on 2 months ago and was at least 2-3" from fitting. Now I've lost 2" in 2 months but NOWHERE near my gut or butt...it's more like 1/4" here, 1/4" there. I tried on what I would consider my short term goal shorts in a size 26 that I wore in 2001...I was actually able to fit!!! I decided to press my luck and try on the pair of 26 jeans that my mom got me one Christmas that were already a size too small and I never got to wear. They fit too!! Now don't get me wrong, sitting down in these shorts or jeans would send the button flying off faster than a bullet and someone would likely die if they were in front of me but I don't care about that. (I mean I care if people die but you know what I mean) The point is after not having lost any significant inches in the gut area and being down 9 lbs since I tried them on last, somehow 2-3" has disappeared from the right spots that were not my measuring points. Oh yeah and I tried on the 2 pairs of old school 30's that I was barely able to button 2 months ago (kind of like how the 26's are now) and they were really baggy and will need to be donated. This weight loss thing is a real kick. You can feel stuck and in a plateau-ish place yet somehow progress is still being made even if all of the regular tools like the scale and measuring tape are giving you the raspberry. I have stopped trying to figure out how all of this works but as long as results, whether scale or not, continue to roll in when my self confidence is beginning to dip, then I'm okay with that. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll post weigh in tomorrow.

"What the heck are chia seeds?" is the common phrase we're hearing frequently these days. More than just something to make a Garfield chia pet grow a fabulous green afro, these seeds are becoming the newest health craze. Well we all know about health crazes, short lived or there's gotta be some catch right? Well, let's go over the benefits of chia seeds.
You've probably heard of flax seeds, they're fine but honestly, I hate the taste I get when I bite into them. It tastes like little pops of natural gas to me. Yum... not. Flax seeds are not well digested and need to be ground for the maximum benefit to be received when you eat them. Chia seeds don't. You get the maximum benefits regardless of the form and they slow digestion to keep you fuller longer.
What are the benefits?

End of month wrap up/ The March plan
March will consist of mixing up rest days. I don't think it's conducive to have 2 rest days in a row especially given how beat up my body feels by the end of the week. So if you look on this month's workout schedule page, you'll see that rest days will be rotated between Tues-Thurs throughout the month. We will make sure that on rest days we decrease our calories by 150-200 calories to slightly offset not working out that day. We've also added a third strength session; nothing massive or all Hans and Franz-like but enough to get in a little bit of a pump with Chalene and her bands. I will NOT give up and will NOT let this slow down rule me. I'm sick of it. It really sucked when you could basically count on a 2 lb loss most weeks the first year to now getting 1 lb or nothing and 2 lbs is considered a celebration. I still have about 130 lbs to go so this pace just isn't acceptable. I'm hoping the new tweaks will do some good. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Traveling is very interesting and full of adventurous for everyone. But there is one important thing called hospitality. When looking for hotels or apartments to stay, it's always good to find most hospitable place.
Best areas to stay in Perth
Like in every city, there are top places to stay. In Perth there are three areas best for comfortable staying, here is a list:
Central business district (In this place you are close to everything, so it's told this is the best area to stay. You will be able to see and visit a lot).

Finding your accommodation in Perth
Perth is the capital of Western Australia state and one of the largest cities. These days the easiest method of finding a place is to find it on the internet. Make sure you look carefully at pictures of hotels you are looking at so you know it's the right for you. Also, you can read reviews from other people to make sure that place is good.

In a Twitter thread, A.N. Devers looks at the erasure of former Paris Review editor Brigid Hughes from the history of the magazine. Hughes took over after founder George Plimpton died in 2003, and was let go in 2004. Devers points to New York Times articles about the magazine over the years—including a 2011 profile of Stein that erroneously refers to him as only the second editor after Plimpton—and notes that mentions of her work are regularly removed from the publication's Wikipedia page. "One of the most amazing things about Brigid Hughes is that she then started her own magazine and continued to be who she was, an extraordinary editor who did the work with little fanfare," Devers writes. "But we should still demand her first work be acknowledged."
Finalists for the Albertine Prize have been announced. Nominees include Édouard Louis's The End of Eddy, Anne Garréta's Not One Day, and Mathias Énard's Compass.
MSNBC has reversed its decision to allow journalist Sam Seder's contract to expire without renewal.
The New York Times talks to Richard Lloyd Parry about Martin Amis, failing to finish Ulysses, and gendered literature. Parry says that he avoids the genres of "chick lit" and "lad lit" equally. "Anything that hitches itself too closely to a particular readership has failed a crucial test of literature," he explained. "You've got to try to make a broad appeal, or at least not to exclude 50 percent of humanity."
Sarah Seltzer explores the ways that scandals are used to overshadow the accomplishments of female authors. Comparing the outing of Elena Ferrante's identity and the recent plagiarism lawsuit brought by an ex-boyfriend against Emma Cline, Seltzer writes that these incidents both show the ways in which writers' personal lives are used to detract from their literary success. "Those twin intrusions . . . both attempted to permanently put asterisks on the discussion of these women's writing," she writes. "At least temporarily and at least for some readers, Cline is reduced to the ex-girlfriend of the guy suing her. Ferrante became the wife of another novelist."

Friday Funnies
Did this week blaze by for anyone else? Wow! I only wrote down three funny things...but here they are!
On our way to church Reagan said, "Wouldn't it be fun if dogs went to church?" I told her that Service Dogs were allowed in church because they are allowed anywhere that people go. Skylar said, "I've never seen Circus Dogs at church." :) Service...Circus....it's all the same right? :)
Again, while driving, Skylar said, "MOMMY! Watch out for the Pizzons!" Reagan corrected her and said, "Skylar, it's not Pizzons, it's Pigeon, with a J." :D
Reagan asked me, "Mommy, am I short?" When I asked her why she wondered that she said "because my skirt is a size 5 and I'm 7 years old." I said, "Well, you're petite." She replied, "Oh great! That's another word for short isn't it?" HA!
Can't wait to read about the "Funnies" in your house this week!

Oh that last one is too funny!! At least she has you to comfort her! The other day Ella decided she wanted to play hair stylist with my dad--and being that he's in a wheelchair, he couldn't really escape!! He told her he only uses water in his hair, no gel or anything else, and Ella looked at my mom and said "and you married this man?" Which I find especially amusing since most of the men in Ella's life have shaved heads!ReplyDelete
Hehehehe- thanks for making me laugh!!ReplyDelete

By Doug Alexander
Bank of Montreal chief executive William Downe said "warning signs" have emerged in Canada's condominium markets, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver.
"With respect to two markets — Toronto and Vancouver — investor-owned condo properties have got to be a cause for concern, just because of supply and demand," Mr. Downe said Tuesday at a banking conference in Toronto hosted by RBC Capital Markets.
Demand for housing in Canada has been supported by some of the lowest mortgage rates in decades, with last week's average five-year fixed mortgage rate of 5.29 remaining close to a low of 5.19% set in September. The Bank of Canada projected in October that housing will add little economic growth in 2012.
There's "no question" that Canada's condominium markets, notably in Toronto and Vancouver, are the most vulnerable housing in the country, Royal Bank of Canada CEO Gordon Nixon said at the conference.
"When you look at markets like Vancouver and Toronto, there's a level of caution from a risk perspective which is higher today than it would have been a few years ago," Mr. Nixon said.
Royal Bank, the country's largest lender by assets, has about $2-billion in total exposure to Canadian condominium development, Mr. Nixon said, adding that it's not a significant amount.
"We feel very comfortable that we can manage through a significant downturn," Mr. Nixon said. "But, again, there would be an ancillary impact."
Mr. Downe of BMO, Canada's fourth-biggest bank, said he sees short-term credit stress in Canadian commercial real-estate development, and the possibility of a "soft landing" is more likely today than a year ago.
"I wouldn't give up on the Canadian housing market, but there has to be a soft landing," Mr. Downe said.
