Granite Countertops
Granite's vivid natural color palette and near diamond-hard surface makes it the ideal material for countertops.
Resists heat, scratches and stains. Protects against mold and mildew. Offers a near endless variety of different patterns of veins, specks and swirls. Granite slab viewing and selection available in select areas at our supplier's off-site location
Granite Countertops for the Kitchen
Durable and dependable, the granite countertop is a top choice for a wide variety of kitchens.
Perhaps the all-star of kitchen countertops, granite surfaces are versatile, durable and a natural fit in many kitchen areas. Although considered a high-end surface choice, a granite countertop will last for years to come and require little maintenance.
Granite countertops are available in a variety of colors, ranging from white and cream to deep gray and forest green. Visit a home or kitchen design store and look through their selection of guides and samples to determine the color that will work best in your kitchen area. Ask if they allow customers to purchase or borrow samples so that you can take a few home and hold them next to your kitchen cabinetry.
One way to reduce the cost of a granite countertop is by purchasing your choice through a wholesaler. These companies will often charge a customer less than a home improvement store for the cost of installment and materials. If you are interested in a warranty to protect against damage, then it is important to ask these companies about what they will be able to provide in terms of insurance.
Granite can be easily cleaned with a mild soap and soft cloth, making the maintenance process an easy one.
What is it? An igneous rock (formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials) composed chiefly of quartz and feldspar, granite is one of the hardest surfaces on earth. Because of the considerable variation, it's wise to visit the stone yard to choose your own piece if possible to avoid surprises.
Considerations When Choosing Granite Countertops
Thickness, Overhangs and Edges. Countertop thickness varies by geographic location, from a three quarter inch to an inch and a quarter inches (preferred). Thicker slabs cost more. Standard overhang is one inch to an inch and a half. Larger overhangs—for workspace or seating—may require additional support starting at 8 to 12 inches. A range of edge treatments is available, including straight, beveled and rounded.
Forms. Granite counters can come as slabs or tiles.
Slabs. Granite slabs offer a solid and seamless look. These typically come in 10-foot-long pieces. If your counter is quite long or L-shaped, curved or arched, a seam will be required—but should not be too noticeable if done properly.
Tiles. If you love granite but it's not in your budget, consider tiles. While they require a bit more maintenance, granite tiles cost less than slab and also offer more installation flexibility.
Finishes. Three types of finishes are recommended for granite countertops.
Polished. This smooth, reflective surface draws out the color and texture for a rich look. It's the least porous finish option, which is great for spills. But the shiny surface also accents any imperfections (and crumbs). Polished is the most popular, perhaps due in part to ease of cleaning.
Honed. While still smooth, this finish is not shiny and reflective. Though a honed finish doesn't bring out the color as much, it does cut down on glare and mask imperfections. The surface is slightly more porous.
Leather. This finish, created when fabricators move diamond-tipped brushes across the surface, conveys the look and feel of textured leather.Like a polished surface, it is less porous and highlights the color; like a honed surface, it disguises crumbs and streaks.
Maintenance. Wipe the countertop with a soft cloth and warm water daily. Mild household cleansers are suitable. Certain oils and acids can stain. Most natural granite should be resealed annually.
The Bottom Line. Granite imparts a timeless, high-end look ideal for traditional and classic spaces. Smooth and cool to the touch, it is popular for baking centers due to the ease of rolling out dough.

Its loud and powerful engine, bad boy image, and penchant of Harley owners for customizing their bikes symbolizes the brutal strength, freedom and individuality that made America the greatest nation on Earth.
Harley- Davidson is an iconic American brand, it`s as American as Mom and apple pie.
Harley- Davidson has been on a downward spiral for decades, but it`s losing significantly more speed under the Trump admiration. The motorcycle company on Tuesday said its profits were erased by slumping sales and Trump`s tariffs.
Baby boomers are the core demographic for Harley, and their customers are downsizing from hogs to Hoverrounds. Harley needs to thinks outside the box and introduce a new model for baby-boomers, featuring chrome training wheels.
Unfortunately, millennials were raised by hippies to be risk-adverse, and these pansies will never give up their mopeds, skateboards and hoverboards in favor of a macho motorcycle.
In an age where climate control cultists are in power, and wimps expect to go through life without any cuts or bruises there is simply no place for Harley-Davidson.
The last cowboy rode off into the sunset over a century ago, and in the near future the last modern day cowboy will ride his steel horse into the night.

Last September, I wrote a story called "A Pivot or Maybe a Few." I described a sabbatical and a change in focus. At the time, I had no idea the sabbatical would last for almost a year or that the proposed change to video and podcasting would present far more technical challenges than I could overcome. Writing and perhaps even speaking it will continue to be. Good decision happily made. Took too long though.
I also put my LibertyPell pencil down because I simply could not stand writing about the back and forth of Washington politics. I actually began to wonder if I really "knew" anything. And often if I even cared.
Several dozen daily anti-Trump diatribes in The Washington Post and The New York Times did not give me confidence that the stories were reflective of reality. The full-throated defenses of the President on Fox News felt comparably distorted. It all seemed more like click bait. Each writer or commentator had to deliver the daily dollop of partisanship that kept his readership numbers up and his audience happy.
Another motivator for the sabbatical was my low opinion of politicians, though I do love the gaffes – the more disastrous the better. In the Intergalactic Gaffe Olympics, few rank higher than the Hillary Clinton "deplorables" comment. That moment inspired the crazy idea du jour: I wanted to learn more about those whom coastal elites seem to disdain.
My question was simple: Do the supposed "deplorables" really deserve it?
My experience suggested that the answer was a definitive "no." In 1974, I left a lifetime on the East Coast to practice law in Omaha, Nebraska. It was a great place to live and, more importantly, a wonderful start to a marriage.
One of the takeaways from that five-year period, however, was the observation that Midwesterners were far more curious about residents of the coasts than vice versa. For several years I had a contest with a friend, who had moved from Boston to Houston, to see which person in our East Coast hometown would say the stupidest thing when we returned to our roots for Christmas.
He won, when a Boston Brahmin said, "Oh, I thought you were out of the Marine Corps" upon being told he lived in Houston. I have no recollection whatever of any similar comment being made about the coasts by heartlanders.
"Deplorables" seemed a continuation of that theme. Hence, I decided on some field research to figure out why disdain for whole regions and mockery of a significant percentage of the population was now acceptable.
Turns out I was not alone. The trouble with good ideas is that others tend to have them too.
James and Deborah Fallows have just published "Our Towns: A 100,000 Mile Journey into the Heart of America." He is a noted journalist and she is a linguist. They chose an airplane for their trip – something called a Cirrus. An airplane is the preferred travel choice when discovering the heartland because, as you might have noticed, we have a hell of a lot of heartland.
Mr. and Mrs. Fallows attach much importance to the "second question," the one you ask after "nice to meet you, what is your name?" Mr. Fallows is a much better journalist than I and Mrs. Fallows is a linguist so their observation is logical, but I can always pinch the idea, can't I?
In each town they visited, they sought the "what makes this town go" person. Not every town has such a leader and apparently that is the litmus test for the success or failure of a community.
Since I did not have a Cirrus airplane, I was damn sure not going to drive 100,000 miles to match the Fallows effort. Hence, I chose a visit to Arkansas, seemingly a likely source of potential deplorables and a state well known to Hillary Clinton.
The southeastern part of Arkansas is called the Delta, though I am not sure why. What I would call a delta is almost 400 miles south where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico.
I have a friend who lives in Helena. He is a friend in the way guys can have friends whom they have not seen for more than five decades. We went to boarding school together in the early 1960s. Going there was logical for me, but perhaps less so for him. He only found his way to St. Paul's School because his father was an Episcopal minister and his mother knew the Rector. He was my host and guide.
Helena is in the Delta, and so is a small town called Gillett. I had never been to either one but, somewhere along the way, I learned that Gillett hosted an annual political soirée called the "Coon Supper." I doubt the Gillett Farmers and Businessmen's Club, which sponsors the event, refers to the evening as a soirée. Whatever they prefer to call it, they have been doing it for 75 years.
For me, the prospect of eating raccoon was a draw not a deterrent. I confess raccoon consumption might have been a "checklisty" kind of a thing; an experience that would have eluded most of the people I know.
But, the real draw of the trip was to find out what erudite East Coast residents are missing when they point fingers at the supposed deplorables who live in places like the Arkansas Delta.
The population of Gillett is about 686 but there were at least 1200 people sitting at long tables in the gymnasium of Gillett High School, home of the Wolves. All over the gym were orange banners celebrating athletic success, especially in football and softball. Some years ago, according to the dates on the banners, the success ended, but not because the children of Gillett lost their athletic Mojo. Rather, their school had closed.
A closed school is not symbolic of a prospering community, but what caused that?
Thanks to the meanderings of the Mississippi River, the area is extraordinarily fertile. We are talking serious farm country.
An important trend in agriculture is that it takes fewer and fewer people to grow food. When crops were planted, tended and harvested by hand, the farms were smaller and there were more people to gather in nearby towns. As automation and sophisticated equipment have replaced manual labor, there were fewer people to support the towns.
The Arkansas Delta is in economic decline and, as a result, the population is shrinking. Or maybe it is the other way around?
Shrinking population means fewer children and fewer children means fewer schools. Not surprisingly, fewer schools also means fewer teachers. Yet, the Gillett Coon Supper celebrates the achievements of teachers. The governor and one senator were there to be seen but not heard – a notably rare occurrence for politicians. The focus of the Gillett Coon Supper was on those who helped the town's children to achieve their potential.
Along the way I have received lots of excellent advice from teachers, but what advice would I give if I were teaching the children of Gillett?
It might well be in the child's best interest to move someplace else in search of greater opportunity, but mass outward migration would simply contribute to the decline of their community. The owner of the bed-and-breakfast at which I stayed told me that his most significant source of business was children and grandchildren returning to visit their parents. That might be better news for the innkeeper than for his community.
If I, as the fictitious teacher, told my students to stay and contribute to the rebirth of the area, what would I tell them to do? Is the Arkansas Delta to put in a bid for the second headquarters of Amazon? If so, what advantages would be offered?
In theory, the residents of the Arkansas Delta might benefit significantly from the strategy used by Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. He grabbed every possible federal facility for his state. But, the people I met did not seem to be the sort who liked receiving outside assistance. Judging from the dinner itself and the listing of local supporters, self-sufficiency is the solution of choice for any problem in Gillett.
Declining population leaves depressing results. Houses and businesses are abandoned, whereupon they fall down. Kudzu makes it worse. Entire buildings can be overcome. I did not know that kudzu turns black in the winter.
I don't have an answer to the economic redevelopment of the Arkansas Delta but I came away with a sense of strength and determination among the people who live there. It would be easy to blame the challenges of their existence on business competition resulting from free trade and employment competition resulting from immigration. Many do, likely with some justification, but nonetheless they carry on.
A separate excursion took me to a Confederate Cemetery on top of a hill near Helena. The road was icy in the way only the South can do icy — a thin glaze over the entire surface that defies all known forms of traction. It is the same thing that causes trees to down power lines all over the South when the weather is wrong.
Two good old boys drove their pickup truck to the top of the hill and, of course, they got stuck. The owner was clearly ashamed that his vehicle was only two-wheel drive. There followed about 45 minutes of guy behavior seeking traction for the truck. Advice from bystanders like me was not going to contribute, but the conversation was interesting.
Why were they there?
They were coming to clean the gravestones and plant little flags to honor the Civil War soldiers. They had driven from Mississippi and this was but one of a series of graveyards they tended each year.
I wanted to learn why those who live near me are closed minded and wrong when they are tempted to think there is something deficient about those who do not think like us.
Hillary Clinton was the first lady of Arkansas and she should have known better.
Deplorables they are not.

Tuition Increase Response Letter
March 24, 2017 - This letter is in response to the March 22 CSU Board of Trustees decision to increase tuition for resident undergraduate students for the 2017-18 academic year.
Dear Campus Community,
On Wednesday, March 22nd, the CSU Board of Trustees voted to increase tuition for resident undergraduate students by $270 for the 2017-18 academic year, the first such increase since 2011.
It was not an easy decision for the trustees; many students attended the meeting and spoke to the financial hardships they face in pursuing a higher education. However, the trustees decided that it was a necessary step to provide the quality education that our students expect and deserve.
The trustees acted after Gov. Jerry Brown's January budget proposal provided the CSU with less than half of the funding increase we had requested to meet the needs of our growing student enrollment.
The governor's proposed budget is not the last word on the subject: the legislature could raise the CSU allocation in the budget it submits to the governor in June. The entire CSU community will work hard to make the case for full funding of the Trustees' budget in Sacramento between now and then. Moreover, the Trustees' resolution explicitly states that the tuition increase will be rescinded if their full request is funded by the State.
No one connected with the CSU is happy about the need to raise tuition. We are committed to student access and we recognize that any such increase creates a potential hardship for affected students.
The tuition increase is expected to raise $77.5 million in additional revenue; over 60 percent of our students—whose tuition is fully covered by grants and waivers—will not be affected by the change.
CSUMB and the entire CSU system is committed, through its Graduation Initiative 2025, to doubling our four-year graduation rates by 2025. The revenue generated by this increase will allow us to add more faculty, courses, advisors and other resources to support student success. If the CSU can shorten the time to degree by only one semester, the savings for an individual student will be far greater than the cost of this tuition increase.
As for other living and educational expenses, we remain committed to providing affordable learning materials, affordable on-campus housing, and addressing the issue of food insecurity that affects many of our students.
If we work together to lobby our elected officials and fight for a fully funded CSU, we could potentially see the increase rescinded. We promise to do everything we can to ensure an affordable and accessible experience for our Otters here at CSUMB.
Please feel free to reach out to either President Ochoa at firstname.lastname@example.com or Lauren McClain, the AS President, at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any issues, questions, clarifications, or concerns about this increase.
Thank you.
Eduardo M. Ochoa

Prices on many imported goods are way up, reflecting a weaker Iranian currency.
By ROBERT F. WORTH Published: February 6, 2012
TEHRAN — One measure of the profound anxiety now coursing through Iranian society can be seen on Manouchehri Street, a winding lane at the heart of this city where furtive crowds of men gather every day like drug dealers to buy and sell American dollars.
The government has raised the official exchange rate and sent police into the streets to stop the black marketeers, but with confidence in Iran's own currency, the rial, collapsing by the day, the trade goes on.
"Am I afraid of the police? Sure, but I need the money," said Hamid, a heavyset construction engineer who was standing by a muddy patch of greenery amid a crowd of other illicit currency traders here. "Food prices are going up, and my salary is not enough." Glancing nervously around him, he added that he had converted almost all of his assets into dollars. Like many Iranians, he had also stockpiled months' worth of rice and other staples.
The fuel for this manic trade is not an actual economic collapse — the new European oil embargo has yet to take effect, and there is plenty of food on the shelves — but a rising sense of panic about Iran's encirclement, the possibility of war and the prospect of more economic pain to come. The White House announced a further tightening on Monday aimed at freezing Iranian assets and constricting the activities of Iran's Central Bank.
Already, the last round of sanctions on Iran's Central Bank has begun inflicting unprecedented damage on Iran's private sector, traders and analysts say, making it so hard to transfer money abroad that even affluent businessmen are sometimes forced to board planes carrying suitcases full of American dollars.
Yet this economic burden is falling largely on the middle class, raising the prospect of more resentment against the West and complicating the effort to deter Iran's nuclear program — a central priority for the Obama administration in this election year.
"For the past few months, our business customers have been coming to us saying their clients are giving up on them, because they believe they will not be paid," said Parvaneh, a 41-year-old woman working at a Tehran bank. Like others interviewed for this article, she declined to give her full name, fearing repercussions for herself and her family. "They are starting to lay off employees. Iran's economy has always been sick, but now it seems worse than ever."
The rising economic panic has illustrated — and possibly intensified — the bitter divisions within Iran's political elite. A number of insiders, including members of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, have begun openly criticizing Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in recent weeks. One of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's aides indirectly accused Ayatollah Khamenei of needlessly antagonizing the West in ways that pushed down the rial's value, the latest sign of a rift between the president and the supreme leader that is helping to define the parliamentary elections, which are scheduled for March 2.
"They criticize Ahmadinejad and even the supreme leader by name now; it's not like before," said Javad, the 45-year-old manager of a travel agency in north Tehran.
With Iran now importing as much rice and other food staples as it grows at home, trade obstacles could become far more significant in the coming months. Most Iranian traders discount the possibility of real food shortages, saying Iran is already reorienting its trade eastward and has always found ways around sanctions in the past. But with more avenues closing off every month, those evasive measures are likely to be ever more cumbersome and expensive.
Ordinary Iranians complain that the sanctions are hurting them, while those at the top are unscathed, or even benefit. Many wealthy Iranians made huge profits in recent weeks by buying dollars at the government rate (available to insiders) and then selling them for almost twice as many rials on the soaring black market. Some analysts and opposition political figures contend that Mr. Ahmadinejad deliberately worsened the currency crisis so that his cronies could generate profits this way.
Javad's travel agency is a striking illustration of Iran's current plight. With six weeks left before the Persian New Year, the phone should be ringing off the hook with reservations for holiday travel, he said. Instead, "there's been no business for the past three weeks."
It's not just that would-be travelers are frightened. The agency cannot price its holiday packages, because with exchange rates fluctuating wildly, they do not know what rate to use.
"Every day it's something new," Javad said, gazing up at a tourism poster of China on his office wall. Foreign travel to Iran has almost entirely disappeared. Two years ago, Javad's foreign clients were mostly Europeans; now they are entirely Russians and Chinese, and even they have been scared off in recent weeks, with Iranian officials threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz and rising fears of a war. (Russia and China remain Iran's only supporters in the United Nations Security Council.) Continue reading

Donald Trump's recent decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, has heightened interest on Palestine
- Written by muslimnazari

Donald Trump's recent decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, has heightened interest on Palestine. Malaysians have expressed a myriad of opinions, notably with respect to boycotting Israel and complicit multi-national corporations (MNC).
A recent article in Malaysiakini discussed the boycott of companies that are perceived to be linked to Israel, in the context of the global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
There nonetheless still exists much confusion amongst Malaysians about BDS. It is therefore imperative for BDS Malaysia to clarify the global BDS movement within the context of the liberation of Palestine.
BDS is a call by more than 170 Palestinian civil societies, first issued in 2005, (http://bdsmovement.net/call) for global solidarity and Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel. Jerusalem / Al Quds obviously is an inseparable and indivisible part of Palestine. The Israeli occupation abuses the human rights of all Palestinians everywhere, whether in Jerusalem / Al Quds, in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, the refugee camps or the diaspora.
BDS is a call to Israel to recognise the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and to fully comply with international law by:
1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall
2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality and
3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194.
BDS is about pressuring businesses to cease their relationship or change their business policies with a government (Israel) that violates the rights of an entire people.
Companies boycotted are selected based on their unequivocal complicity with the human rights abuses committed by the Zionist regime, and also, the possibility of using the boycott target to build a broad based movement encompassing society as a whole.
Those who suggest that everything associated with Israel should be boycotted do not fully understand the boycott strategy. As Nelson Mandela explained, "Boycott is not a principle, it is a tactic depending on circumstances".
Some suggest that the BDS movement is hypocritical since it does not boycott Jewish owned or founded companies, such as Facebook. Those who exhort BDS to boycott companies such as Facebook, simply because they were founded by Jewish people, are displaying their anti-Semitism. Any form of racism runs against the principles of BDS.
Omar Barghouti, a leading Palestinian figure in the BDS movement wrote, "BDS is a universalist movement that categorically opposes all forms of racism, including Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. This is not negotiable. We should never welcome racists in our midst, no matter what."
Indeed, in 2014, over 200 Jewish activists issued a statement calling for the dismantling of Israel's apartheid regime, throughout historic Palestine, in solidarity with the Palestinian call for BDS (http://mondoweiss.net/2014/07/jews-apartheid-israel ).
The BDS movement is premised on the struggle against the injustices of occupation, settler colonialism, racist Apartheid, and not, as a religious struggle between the Muslim and Jewish people. Palestinian Christians have called on the world, and specifically Christians, to show solidarity by imposing sanctions and boycott against Israel. They have called on the churches of the world not to offer theological cover-up for the injustices suffered by Palestinians, but instead, to help Palestinians achieve freedom, and thus, to help attain justice, peace, security and love (http://www.kairospalestine.ps/index.php/about-us/kairos-palestine-document).
What can Malaysians do? Demonstrations and public speeches, whilst perhaps inspiring, and even necessary, are not sufficient. The BDS call for action invites all Malaysians of conscience and the Malaysian government to isolate Israel economically, culturally and academically through peaceful means until it fully complies with international law.
Several MNCs which are complicit with the Israel state have been targeted for boycott. They are:
1. Hewlett Packard (HP)
2. Caterpillar
3. G4S (Safeguards)
4. Ahava
5. Hyundai Heavy Industries.
HP supplies the technology for the system of ID cards and checkpoints that drastically restrict the daily movement of Palestinians. Additionally, HP also supplies equipment to the Israeli navy that continues to illegally and unjustly blockade Gaza. HP equipment is also used in Israeli prisons that imprison and torture Palestinians, including children.
(http://www.aaanet.org/cmtes/commissions/upload/151001-AAA-Task-Force-Israel-Palestine.pdf https://whoprofits.org/content/what-we-know-about-hp-so-far https://whoprofits.org/content/hewlett-packard-hp-and-israeli-occupation http://www.whoprofits.org/sites/default/files/hp_report-_final_for_web.pdf).
All Malaysian individuals and institutions should cease the purchase of HP equipments, and buy instead the many alternatives that are available. The Malaysian government should lead by example, by disqualifying HP from all government tenders.
Caterpillar machinery, is used by the Israeli government to destroy Palestinian homes and centuries old Palestinian olive groves, to construct illegal settlements and Apartheid settler-only roads, and even for extrajudicial executions of Palestinians.
(https://www.whoprofits.org/company/caterpillar https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/adri-nieuwhof/how-israel-uses-caterpillar-machinery-carry-out-extrajudicial-executions).
In Malaysia, Caterpillar is distributed by Sime Darby. Malayisans of conscience should pressure the Malaysian government to encourage Sime Darby to explore other alternatives to its current relationship with Caterpillar.
The Malaysian government and citizens should divest and dispose off their investments in HP, Caterpillar and G4S.
BDS Israel is now a global movement that involves Nobel Laureates, academicians, poets, musicians, artists, award winning journalists. It includes universities, churches, student bodies, businesses and even the government of South Africa
BDS Malaysia welcomes you to be part of this universal movement and welcomes your ideas and feedbacks.

Flower Power
Summer is in full swing here on Brassknocker Hill. We have been lucky enough to have lots of good weather with (hopefully) more to come, so if you're visiting we highly recommend a stroll around the grounds, where you may spot a few colourful new additions…
Our gardener Ash has been very busy with trowel and watering can, replanting the flower beds and restoring the plant pots. She has done an incredible job, planting over 100 different flowers to brighten up the garden, assisted only by Sala her terrier. From white foxgloves, geraniums of many colours, and cat mint, the garden is a real feast for the eyes. Head to the Garden Lodge and you will find an abundance of wildflowers and long grasses. There are multiple flower pots around the manor, full of lovely bright blooms of white lavender and geraniums.
Within the 64 acres of Combe Grove, there resides a wealth of wildlife, including butterflies, birds and bees, which are very important to us. Over the coming months and years, we will cultivate and nurture our estate further to support our natural wildlife, so that they can make a safe home amongst our flower beds.
Next time you're here, why not take a cup of tea, or perhaps a spot of lunch on the terrace, and enjoy some time amongst the flowers.

August 20, 2019
Tropical storm Harvey came ashore again on Wednesday, bringing heavy rains and whipping winds to southwestern Louisiana, but far less destruction than it brought to Texas.
All readers have open access to our coverage of the storm.
Trump Will Give $1 Million for Harvey Victims: White House
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump plans to donate $1 million to an unspecified charity in support of victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Mr. Trump is "pledging a million dollars of his own personal money to help the people of both Texas and Louisiana," Ms. Sanders said. She said she believed that the funds would come from Mr. Trump personally, not from a separate entity such as his family foundation.
Ms. Sanders didn't identify a charity that would be the recipient of the funds. Speaking at a press briefing at the White House, she said Mr. Trump wanted suggestions about the most appropriate group to receive the funds.
"He would like to join in the efforts" of Americans around the country who have given to charity to help victims of the storm, Ms. Sanders said.
Houston Independent School District said it will delay the start of school until Sept. 11 as the city starts to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.
The nation's seventh-largest district had already delayed the start of school from the original start date of Aug. 27 to Sept. 5.
In a statement Thursday, the district said it could still push back the state further depending on the weather and the condition of its facilities.
"We are eager to get our students back into the classroom and learning, but we need to be sure that our campuses are safe and that Houston's infrastructure and roads are ready to handle transporting our students safely to school in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey," said superintendent Richard Carranza in a statement. "We are currently assessing any damages to our schools."
The superintendent also said the district will relax its uniform policy for the first half of the school year. Administrators are returning to work on Sept. 5 and teachers will return Sept. 8.
Beaumont mainly draws its water from the Neches River, which has already well exceeded its prior peak crest, which occurred 23 years ago, and is forecast to peak around midday Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
Even still, the main problem for Beaumont and the region is the massive amount of rain that fell there, said Roger Erickson, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, La. That sliver of Texas near the Louisiana border got hit with anywhere between 20 and 30 inches of rain in just 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday, he said.
"Basically what happened in Houston happened in this area the day after," Mr. Erickson said. "That's what caused just massive flooding across the communities."
A lack of city water forced evacuations at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas in Beaumont, which said in a Facebook post that it had to start transferring patients to other acute-care facilities. TV news footage showed staffing loading a patient onto a waiting helicopter.
"Due to the city-wide lack of services, we have no other alternative but to discontinue all services which will include emergency services," the hospital said.
All 14 schools in the Texas City Independent School District southeast of Houston sustained some Harvey-related damage. Most had roof leaks that can be easily fixed, but several schools including those in the city of La Marque flooded to varying degrees, a district spokeswoman said.
The primary school building in La Marque was "completely flooded with 3 feet of water," the district's website said. The elementary school had water in the cafeteria and hallways. Parts of the middle school had two feet of water, with the kitchen, library, hallways and some classrooms affected. Roof leaks at the high school caused flooding.
The district, with nearly 9,000 students, isn't planning to resume classes until Sept. 11. Officials had earlier hoped to reopen Sept. 5.

Houston sporting-goods retailer Academy has converted its headquarters into a temporary residence for hundreds of police and other emergency responders, offering food and shelter in the midst of Tropical Storm Harvey's aftermath.
As Texas and Louisiana continue to deal with the aftermath of Harvey, forecasters are monitoring another powerful hurricane that has formed in the distant Atlantic named Irma.
The storm is "rapidly intensifying over the eastern Atlantic," the National Hurricane Center said in a late-morning update Thursday. Maximum sustained winds have reached nearly 100 miles per hour, making it a Category 2 storm.
The big question is where Irma will go, and what land the storm might threaten, but it remains too soon to tell. The hurricane center's "forecast cone," which looks at possible storm tracks through Tuesday morning, still puts Irma somewhere over the Atlantic to the east of the Leeward Islands.
Wherever it goes, the storm could pack a punch: "Irma is forecast to become a major hurricane by tonight and is expected to be an extremely dangerous hurricane for the next several days," the hurricane center said.
The Harvey-related deaths in Texas also include a man and a woman crushed by a falling tree as they drove through Jasper County late Tuesday, County Judge Mark Allen confirmed. The deaths there bring the storm-related toll across Texas to at least 33, according to reports from local officials, and the numbers are expected to continue rising.
The couple were sheltering in the tiny county, population roughly 36,000, when the tree in the waterlogged ground toppled over on their vehicle. "The timing, it was a horrible thing to happen," the judge said.
There was also another death in Jasper County that may be storm related: Judge Allen said a woman there suffered a heart attack and died while trying to fortify her home with sandbags. "I'd would say more likely than not it was a stresser," he said.
Jasper County sits in a region that was slammed with yet-more rain in Harvey's final act before the storm finally moved into Louisiana. The county has had mandatory evacuations in low-lying areas, Judge Allen said.
Despite its own struggles, the county is also taking in evacuees from other areas, including about 250 people from nearby Orange County. "The majority are from shelters that began taking on water there, and they called for help," the judge said. "They fled to our county."
He said his county may also start taking in people Thursday from Jefferson County, home to the hard-hit cities of Beaumont and Port Arthur.
The death toll in Texas includes a couple in Fort Bend County who drowned yesterday in floodwaters, according to county officials. Those are the first two deaths reported by Ford Bend county officials.
There are at least 31 deaths in Texas connected to Harvey, according to reports from local officials, and the number is expected to rise.
Tropical Storm Harvey's impact on Texas has been catastrophic, but the city of Houston is faring worse than some others. Here's the science of why Harvey has been especially devastating for the area.
Flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey is threatening cattle in one of the country's most important ranching states.
Many ranchers moved their livestock to higher ground before the storm. But the amount of rain caught others off guard. Mike Doguet, a rancher in Nome, about 50 miles east of Houston, was forced to cut fences and lead his 450-head herd out onto the highway after the rains left the cattle standing in water up to their bellies.
"It has been a nightmare," said Mr. Doguet, who has been traveling across his ranch by boat. "We're praying this rain stops and the floods go down."
Texas is the biggest beef cow-producing state in the country. Bill Hyman, president of the Independent Cattlemen's Association of Texas, estimated up to half of the state's ranchers were affected by the hurricane.
But with ample supplies elsewhere in the country, the impact on cattle futures markets and beef prices so far has been muted.
Still, officials and ranchers say it could take months--or longer--to recover from the damage. Kane Beef, a packing house in Corpus Christi that can process 1,400 head a day, was shut by the storm. Harvey will likely disrupt the transport of cattle to feedlots and slaughterhouses in north and west Texas, said Steiner Consulting Group.
Officials say it is too early to estimate how much livestock has been lost. The severity of the flooding kept officers from the Texas Animal Health Commission--some of whom work on horseback-- from undertaking inspections during the storm. Some areas remain inaccessible.
Chuck Kiker, who raises 300 cow-calves west of Beaumont, near the Louisiana border, says he hasn't accounted for around 10 to 15 of his cattle.
"It's like a giant lake," Mr. Kiker said. "I've lived here all my life and I've never seen water like this."
-- Benjamin Parkin
The U.S. Coast Guard is opening the Texas ports of Houston, Galveston and Freeport for small, Panamax type ships that are around 660 feet long, as the cleanup from Harvey continues.
It will take some time before bigger ships like the mainstay Very Large Crude Carriers-- up to 1,550 feet long -- to be allowed in, but the green light means dozens of smaller chemical tankers and container ships, stuck outside the ports since Saturday, will discharge or load up cargo.
"While urban search-and-rescue remains our top priority, we understand the importance of reopening ports, which are vital to the flow of goods and services," said Captain Kevin D. Oditt, incident commander for the Hurricane Harvey response.
-- Costas Paris
The August jobs report, to be released Friday by the Labor Department, won't show disruption caused by Hurricane Harvey and related flooding. By the time Harvey made landfall Aug. 25, nearly all data contributing to report had been collected.
The survey that determines the unemployment rate asks respondents about their work status during the week of the 12th--two full weeks before the storm. Some data on employer payrolls may have been collected this week, but that survey asks about the pay period that includes the 12th, which for most workers wouldn't overlap with the last week of August.
If Harvey's effects leave some in Texas and Louisiana out of work in mid-September, that could be reflected in the following month's jobs report. But that impact could be countered by those who find employment in coming weeks in cleanup and rebuilding efforts.
A more likely report to reflect Harvey's economic impact is weekly jobless claims, released every Thursday. The report to be issued on Sept. 7 would include those who sought jobless benefits between Aug. 27 and Sept. 2. Previous natural disasters have caused an increase in claims filings in affected states.
--Eric Morath
An hour before midnight on Wednesday, a U-Haul truck with unexpected cargo pulled up to the front doors of the Lake Charles Civic Center, the largest makeshift shelter for evacuees of Tropical Storm Harvey in Southwest Louisiana. It was carrying 16 more people displaced by the storm.
The arena's 675 cots were already occupied, having received hundreds of refugees from Southeast Texas fleeing rising floodwaters after Harvey made landfall early Wednesday morning near the state's border with Louisiana.
But Bruce Baker--director of the Carey Baptist Association's Disaster Relief Unit, the Lake Charles non-profit organization helping manage the shelter--wasn't going to turn away the new guests.
"They came an hour away in the back of a moving van," said a teary-eyed Mr. Baker, who had just gotten off the phone with local and state emergency officials to inform them of his decision to take on more evacuees. "That's what we do."
Following 350 rescue operations Monday night in Louisiana's Calcasieu Parish, roughly 160 people found shelter at the Civic Center during a relatively quiet Tuesday evening.
But by Wednesday, the numbers became nearly unmanageable as evacuees, mostly from Orange, Texas, fled roughly 35 miles east into Lake Charles to seek shelter after the storm's 4 a.m. landfall, which pummeled a cluster of cities on the state line.
"As we began to get evacuations from Texas, that got more than a little chaotic," Mr. Baker said. "It's been a tough day. … There are people who are going to sleep on the floor tonight."
The more than 800 people sheltering in the Civic Center Wednesday night were split almost evenly between Louisiana residents and Texas evacuees, Mr. Baker said. The influx of Texans to the arena began at 11 a.m. and continued steadily until 6 p.m.
"Do you know how long we're going to stay here or what's going to happen to us?" one evacuee asked a volunteer late Wednesday night. Another asked organizers if they could spare an extra bed for an elderly man in a wheelchair seeking shelter.
At roughly 12:30 a.m. Thursday morning, fire marshals upped the Civic Center's capacity, helping accommodate another surge of arrivals between 9 p.m. and midnight. Roughly 60 evacuees per hour showed up to the arena with pillows and weary faces--many turned away from other shelters, and some rescued from the nearby, 660-person town of Starks, La., by the venerated civilian rescue fleet known as the Cajun Navy.
"The Bible says we're supposed to love our neighbors," Mr. Baker said. "So if your neighbor's got three feet of water in his house, the best way to love him is to show up with a bucket and a mop, and in this case, a boat and a bed."
Sara Taylor, a 69-year-old senior citizen caregiver from Orange, arrived at the Civic Center sometime after midnight. Her husband refused to evacuate.
Ms. Taylor is not sure when she will leave the shelter, but knows her daughters living in Austin will come for her eventually. She does not know how to swim, and has never before experienced a major flooding event.
"It's scary. I see it as a life or death matter," she said. "I'm glad to be here."
The Cajun Navy rescued Ms. Taylor at her doorstep at 10 p.m., along with her grandson and his three children--triplets who are less than two years old.
"I had fear for them not being able to get out," she said. "It was beginning to be a nightmare for me."
Latanya Robinson, 47 years old, and her husband, who live within the chemical plant's evacuation zone, left Wednesday. But she said no authorities had asked her to evacuate, and that she only left after seeing the warnings on the local TV news and hearing about it from relatives.
"I'm not waiting for death to find me," Ms. Robinson said by telephone. "Me and my husband are at my son's house now, about 10 miles away."
Ms. Robinson said a neighbor who didn't leave sent her a text message to inform her that the plant had just exploded. "Two blasts in a row at around 2 a.m.," she said the neighbor told her. "Now that it's over, the lady said she's turning the air off and closing the windows so the smoke doesn't enter the house, and she's going to go back to bed."

I have seen you go viral over the last twenty-four hours. There are a great number of people singing your praises, and there are a great number of people condemning you.
You saw your son, a 16 year old man sized person, standing in a group of others, assaulting police officers. The tensions were high, the danger was massive, and you were scared and outraged.
I am sure that seeing your son in the midst of that crowd was very surprising to you. It could not have been easy seeing your adult sized offspring acting violently towards an officer of the law. I imagine that with all of the violence occurring around your son, it must have been so frightening, and I can imagine frantically thanking the Lord that he was not harmed.
Your actions towards your son spoke of a frightened and overwhelmed mother. Some criticize those actions…..However, I commend you for taking action. Instead of encouraging your son to act violently towards the men and women out there trying to uphold the law and protect us, you took action. Instead of being an absent parent, ignoring your son, you stepped up to stop him in his tracks. Instead of being one of the "parents" out there hooked on drugs instead of being involved in their kids' lives, you found your son, and rescued him.
The people out there saying that your actions were not the answer do not give an answer as to what exactly you should have done that would have been effective. Should you have casually walked up to your son, had a lengthy discussion as to why his actions were dangerous, and then calmly asked him to leave? Amidst such violent chaos? I don't suppose that would have been received well.
Should you have let your son continue his violence towards police, and then waited until he came home (if he came home and didn't get killed in action), to address his misbehavior out of the public eye?
I'm not sure what those nay-sayers would deem an appropriate response, but I can say this. In a day when children have been taught to be self absorbed, to not be punished when they commit crimes, and in a world where people are flocking to terrorist organizations…..I say thank you. Thank you for stepping in and keeping your son from becoming a statistic, a prisoner, a young victim of the violence.
We have people who jump at the chance, any chance to destroy others' property and steal from local businesses. We have teenagers who think it's great to pour urine all over special needs class mates. We have a generation of young people who lack respect for authority.
So, were your actions mother-of-the-year actions….no, but hey, I'm no mother of the year myself. Were your actions just that…ACTION…
You took action to get your son out of that situation. Who are we to say that you could have approached it any other way?
I say thank you for being an active parent.

We are thrilled to welcome local winemaker Jeff Emery (pictured left) of Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard to Soif! Jeff is a skilled winemaker, and an expert on our local wine region. In 1979 Ken Burnap (the founder of SCMV) hired Jeff for part-time cellar work and vineyard tending while Jeff was studying at UCSC. It wasn't long before Jeff caught the "wine-making bug," and what started as a part-time job turned into a career. Upon Ken's retirement in 2002, Jeff took over the winery.
In addition to the traditional Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard wines, Jeff also produces wines under the label Quinta Cruz. Inspired by the wines he tasted on a trip to Portugal, Jeff decided to produce his own line of wines using grape varietals from the Iberian Peninsula. Growing these varieties in the Santa Cruz mountains has resulted in the creation of some truly unique wines.
The tasting will take place Saturday, March 10th from 2pm - 4pm in our restaurant. We'll be pouring the following wines:
- 2016 Quinta Cruz Albariño – Bokisch Vineyard
- 2013 Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard "Bailey's" Pinot Noir
- 2015 Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard Grenache
- 2012 Quinta Cruz Souzão - Alta Mesa
- 2013 Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard Petite Sirah
- 2009 Quinta Cruz Rabelo "Late Bottled Vintage"
The cost of the tasting is $20 for general admission, and free for Soif Wine Club Members. Tickets may be purchased below, or in our wine shop.


text: Yeah don't ask why I always call my little fishies Gups and Plats instead of Guppies and Plays...a n y w a y ... : I have several gorgeous female Guppies and a gorgeous female Platy (and the other ones are nice too, though not quite as stunning...but anyway...) so I could never choose just one type to breed. So, my question is, should I be OK keeping a trio of Guppies and a trio of Platys together? As in, since I have males for all the females and vice versa, I won't get hybrids, right? (If you're looking at my tank and thinking I won't have room, don't worry, I'm kicking two of the Gups out to keep the Q tank cycled and the Otos will go into a planted tank. Just in case anyone cares )

Appeal Court supported FAS in a case against collusion of producers of oil-submersible cables
The 9th Arbitration Appeal Court upheld the verdict of Moscow Arbitration Court to pronounce legitimacy and reasonableness of FAS decision on a case against "Kama Cable" Ltd., "POSSKAT" OJSC, "Kavkazkabel" Cable Plant" JSC, "Cable Alliance Holding" Ltd., "Uralkabel" JSC, and "Sibkabel" JSC.
In June 2016 FAS found that manufacturers of oil-submersible cables concluded and implemented an anticompetitive agreement, dividing the sales market of submersible cables (except the high-temperature segment) in 2014-2015, fixing market shares for each cartel participant and refused to apply a competitive methods of determining product prices.
Cartel members are held administratively liable in the form of turnover fine for the total sum exceeding 250 million RUB.
Head of FAS Anti-Cartel Department Andrey Tenishev said: "The legal position of the Courts o cartel cases is significant for exposing and suppressing anticompetitive agreements".

Director and co-writer Sean Baker's lavender-tinted, tragedy-tinged followup to Tangerine trades Southern California for Florida but keeps its focus fixed on the margin and the sustaining dreams of its denizens. Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) is a six-year-old spitfire spending her summer vacation at The Magic Castle motel outside of Disney World — the sort of place where an unemployed stripper like Moonee's mom Halley can struggle through with a little help (and free waffles) from her friends. (Baker loves his characters and knows his business, so it's easy to excuse the sometimes indulgent depiction of Magic Castle living.) The kid's days are spent in moseying and mischief, a feral Alice amid the wonderland of fantastical souvenir shops and food stands. It's a sad old world, but she gets by on pluck and positivity: the belief that she'll get away with things, that Mom will provide, that everything will be all right in the end. And she's almost mostly right: her charm is undeniable, her Mom will do whatever it takes to pay the rent, and hotel manager Bobby (a weary but warm Willem Dafoe) keeps watch like a benevolent but overwhelmed god. But fantasy has its limits, at least outside the realm of Disney…

We provide tooth-colored porcelain inlays as part of our dental restoration program. Porcelain inlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth and are permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist. Our team of highly skilled dentists in Shoreline and Milton, WA is recognized for providing the best results with porcelain inlays and they take all the necessary precautions for the comfort and safety of our patients.
A porcelain inlay is a custom fit filling made of tooth-colored porcelain, which is permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist. It is utilized to healthfully repair your teeth that have been damaged by decay/trauma or have large defective fillings. Porcelain inlays are an ideal alternative to the conventional silver and composite fillings. Also, they are more conservative than crowns because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of these inlays.
As with most dental restorations, porcelain inlays are not always permanent and may require replacement. However, they are highly durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful, long-lasting smile.
The porcelain inlay procedure usually requires two appointments. In your first appointment, our dentists will take several highly accurate impressions (molds) that will be used to create your custom fit inlay as well as a temporary restoration.
While the tooth is numb, our dentists will remove any decay and/or old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared to properly fit a porcelain inlay restoration. A temporary filling is then applied that helps in protecting the tooth while the porcelain inlay is being made by the dental laboratory.
At your second appointment, your new custom fit inlay will be carefully cemented into the tooth. A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit, as well as to assure that your bite is comfortable.
Usually, after the procedure, tissues around the tooth might become sore and sensitive. You should temporarily avoid crunchy and hot or cold foods. Although, these minor problems will resolve themselves in a few days. You will also receive a set of care instructions at the end of your treatment. Follow good oral hygiene, a proper diet and regular dental visits to aid the life of your new porcelain inlays.
We stay up-to-date with the latest technology to achieve optimal results with our dental restoration program. Our specialized dental team is committed to meet all your dental care needs.
Contact our dental offices in Shoreline and Milton, WA for affordable and long-lasting porcelain inlays.

The noise takes you in as you enter the Main Aviary of Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, with the birds' songs laced with the sound of the 40-foot waterfall. Then your eyes are filled with the sight of the tall palm trees and the ruins amidst the walls of plants, not to forget the pièce de résistance: A gorgeous original Javanese house circa 1875, richly carved out of solid teak. Makes you forget to look at the birds inhabiting the place.
Kids will also have a chance to see a nocturnal zone with bats, scorpions and crashed plane, straight from an "Indiana Jones" movie. Two favourites at this family attraction: the lorikeet and the bat feeding sessions.

Pete Doherty is in trouble with the law once again after a magistrates court issued a warrant for his arrest.
The warrant was issued after the wayward rocker failed to appear at a court hearing over criminal damage charges, for a second time.
It was expect the Babyshambles singer, 29, would turn up and enter a plea after being accused of attacking a female photographer last summer.
It is alleged Doherty pulled a camera from the neck of snapper Cath Mead, 29, who was attempting to take shots of him and then girlfriend, Irina Lazareanu.
He was charged with causing nearly £200 worth of damage to Mead's camera lens following the incident in Crewkerne, Somerset.
He is now expected to be hauled before the magistrates by the end of the week after failing to attend a previous hearing relating to the same charge on 26th June.
The singer was sentenced to 14 weeks in jail in April for breaching a probation order after a string of drugs and driving offences.
He served just seven weeks of the sentence at Wormwood Scrubs before being released due to overcrowding.

Hastings Pirate Day returns in July with a huge event to celebrate its tenth anniversary.
Hastings has earned the name 'Pirate Capital of the World' after smashing the world record for the most pirates in one place.
But how many people know how it first started.
SEE ALSO: Shoppers who buy online may soon need a good mobile phone signal as changes come in.
Now organiser Roger Crouch has revealed its origins.
He said: "It all started as an idea to fill the blank Friday of Old Town Carnival week.
"I had worked successfully with stunt action specialists on a Pirate show in Windsor a few years before so put the idea forward and worked alongside Hastings Old Town traders to produce the first Pirate Day in 2009.
"I did the posters on my £50 printer inviting people to be part of Jack Sparrows crew.
I didn't know if we would get three people and a dog but my great friend Norman Race said on the day: "You've unleashed the Beast."
Nikki Parker has been with me every year since. The community and visitors in their thousands are the reason for the huge success of Pirate Day ever since that humble beginning . The rest as they say is history.
Commenting on next year's big event, which takes place on Sunday July 14, Roger added: "I firmly believe in Hastings Pirate Day and wholeheartedly thank those who supported the event financially.
"As long as I am involved, it will be a spectacle for all ages. If you are six months old in a buggy with a striped t-shirt and a drawn on moustache, or a full-blown adult buccaneer - you are a pirate.
"We are producing a colourful brochure to commemorate ten years of Pirate Day. All profits will go to keeping Pirate Day a true family event."
Reflecting on Pirate Day, Alan Griffiths said: "The year of the still unbeaten world record was amazing. Buses full of pirates. Postman pirates. Police motorcycles with Pirate flags.
"If you weren't dressed as a pirate you looked out of place.
"I was running the Stag Inn at the time, in All Saints Street, and we watched the steady procession of pirates coming into town. Many young family's with mum and kids dressed up and self conscious dads not quite in the spirit. Double decker buses from Lydd full of pirates.
"I performed with the Hastings Shanty Singers, and friends, on the main stage. From the size of the crowd we knew we'd blown Penzance out of the water, big time. I didn't even manage to get counted as the gates closed before I could get in. 14,000 plus for the count, another couple of thousand watching and gawd knows how many in the pubs.
"I've been involved in every one since 2009, I was responsible for instigating the unofficial one in 2014, when it rained heavily all day.
"Hastings Pirate Day has always been fun, been inclusive, been fit for family entertainment and been of benefit to the town in general.
"One man has been behind the continuing success of the event. One man has put his hand in his own pocket to ensure the event takes place. One man has not personally profited from the event. So a big thank you to Roger for seeing the event happen and for unselfishly making it happen for the majority of its ten year history. Let's make it the best ever."

Research Group on the Revitalization of Northeast China, DRC
In recent years, the Central Government and the whole society have shown great concern for the improvement of business environment and the revitalization of northeast China. In July 2017, Wang Anshun, Secretary of the Leading Party Members' Group of the Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC) led a research group consisting of members from the Research Department of Industrial Economy and the Research Institute of Resources and Environment Policies to conduct a field survey in northeast China on the revitalization and upgrading of, its manufacturing industry, studied underlying problems in the operation of local enterprises and solicited opinions from relevant entrepreneurs. In line with the overall pattern of the upgrading of national manufacturing industry and its actual performance in northeast China, the research group put forward some policy options on the revitalization of northeast China.
Research findings show that various policy measures set down by the Central Government for the revitalization of northeast China are being pushed ahead and some positive results have been generated. But there are still some problems to be addressed. With regard to the current policy measures, some are of well-leveraged means and can play the major role to boost the revitalization of northeast China at present.
First, the Central Government needs to resolutely push forward the reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and bring into play the leverage role of the market entities to promote structural optimization. In pushing forward the revitalization strategy, deepening the reform of SOEs in an all-round manner is one of the important measures. The overall poor performance of SOEs is still a major factor impeding the unleashing of economic vitality of northeast China. Besides, the high proportion of SOEs in local economic aggregate and underdevelopment of private economy in northeast China have remained unchanged. The Central Government needs to make further efforts to deepen the reform of SOEs in northeast China across the board by promoting mixed ownership and fleshing out capital management.
Second, the national overall planning on social security should be accelerated by giving play to the leveraging role of financial sector. Each year, the local governments in northeast China spends certain amount of money to subsidize the pension gap, which has reduced the financial input on local innovation and business start-up, the development of new industries and new business models as well as the construction of fundamental infrastructure and weakened the attraction of private investment. Since all the local governments in northeast China are facing the pressure posed by pension fund, the Central Government needs to boost the national overall planning on social security so as to relieve the financial burden on local governments.
Third, the Central Government needs to implement preferential policies to support northeast China, give free rein to local initiative and give full scope to the industrial leveraging role by means of upgrading. Northeast China boasts potential advantages in a number of industrial sectors and more efforts are required to further optimize the environment for development so as to promote the growth of competitive industries. The Central Government needs to take the following policy measures. One, it needs to support the R&D projects on hydrogen vehicles; two, it needs to forge famous brands of agricultural products produced by northeast China and increase the profits of its competitive industries; three, it needs to enforce fiscal and taxation policy support to draw more investment for its industrial development.
