Claim Item:Share this lot
DescriptionCirca 1932 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Signed Baseball. Never in the history of American team sports has there been a more dominant duo, each iconic Yankee launching dozens of long balls during seasons in which it didn't even require double-digits to reach the top ten in the category. So even Yankee haters have to tip their caps to the Bambino and the Iron Horse, who share space here upon the presented Official International League sphere. Each registers at approximately 6/10 in black fountain pen ink, and their positioning, the result of stamping at both sweet spots requiring Ruth to settle for a side panel, allows for simultaneous display. As long as the sport is played, Ruth and Gehrig will stand atop the baseball pantheon, assuring that duo balls such as these will remain among the safest investments in the hobby. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

Lessons From My Students Or "Who's Really the Teacher Here?"
By Patty Arnold,
Rehabilitation Teacher
After 16+ years in the field of Blind Rehabilitation, I now find myself in the interesting position of being considered a veteran in the field by some, albeit nowhere near as experienced or as wise as some of my colleagues. I'm grateful for all I've learned from these folks; and in addition I'm sure they'd agree that one of the most exciting and gratifying places to grow as a person and professional is from... you guessed it, our students. So here are a few of my reflections as a tribute to all my "teachers", that is to say, my students.
Attitude is the biggest barrier or the biggest booster to my happiness- I recall one student who was displeased with the way I was teaching him, and instead of coming to me directly to talk about it, went to my supervisor; one of my pet peeves. I remember slowing my thoughts down and reading a poem about attitude that I keep posted on my wall as a reminder in just such cases. I then was able to think more rationally and I and the student and my supervisor sat down together; my supervisor never had to say a word, we worked things out on our own.
A smile can make a huge difference in another person's day. One day I was having one of those hectic days we all get, and was worn and just felt like going home. Of course I didn't, I had students waiting to see me, so I pressed on. My next student greeted me at the door with a huge welcome, and it's interesting how my energy level skyrocketed straight up. Then she began to talk about her feelings about being blind and feeling useless. I listened, but also told her what a difference she had already made in my day, and we proceeded to talk about the things she wanted to be able to do, and how she could learn to do them. I was hoping all the time, she really understood the difference she had made.
Working can be Fun! I love getting a student with a sense of humor. It helps me to have a sense of humor about myself. Kathy (yes, it's her real name; she's given me permission to use it) laughs with me when I make a mistake or mix up my words. We're working on the computer instruction, and no matter how hard I try, I can't remember every single keystroke all the time. But my students have shown me the meaning of lightening up, going with the flow, and having a good time. Learning often comes easier and better too when I do.
Forgiveness is vital. Joan (not her real name this time) and I had a great rapport. One day however, I was dealing with a problem with hives. If you've never had this kind of severe itching problem, feel very lucky. It changed my usually patient personality, so I actually snapped at Joan for no reason. She looked at me with a puzzled look, then asked, "You're not feeling very well are you?" She could have snapped back, gotten defensive decided I was a jerk, or any number of other unpleasant reactions. But she forgave me. Wow, that was a powerful lesson. It's not what I don't have that counts, but what I do have.
I have seen many students who were feeling distraught over their situation with their changing vision, a natural reaction of course. When a student gets to the point where they are feeling good about who they are and what they can do, and not feeling bad constantly about the things they haven't yet mastered, I am truly inspired. Recently when I went through a serious illness, many times I thought back to students who were having a difficult time (from some life difficulty; not necessarily related to vision), but who never gave up. This kept me from giving up, and helped me to think of what I do have to be grateful for.
Are these all the lessons I've learned? No, there's plenty more. Will I learn more? You bet. It's part of what enriches me as a person, and keeps that old "Mr. Burnout" from taking over my life. Thank you to all my students for teaching me!
Membership Memo
By Tom Belsan 1st Vice President
As the newly elected 1st Vice President my main responsibility is membership. This is something I have been involved in for several years as the keeper of the address list. What I have learned is that people don't respond easily to membership letters and renewal requests. At this point I really don't know what to do to interest previous members and new people in sending in money to become part of our consumer organization. When people pay money they wish to receive items of greater value than what they have paid. This is why the lottery and sales are places people spend their cash.
What do you get for an Arizona Council of the Blind membership?
* First you get a membership in the American Council of the Blind, we send part of your money to them.
* Second, you get two newsletters, the Fore-Sight from the Arizona Council four times a year, and the Braille Forum from the American Council each month. Both documents contain valuable information about visual impairment and all sides of issues concerning our population.
The Washington office is watching our government and laws to keep us informed about what is happening there. The Arizona Council is on the Arizona Governor's Council to influence our states views of our population.
Just the newsletters are of greater value than your payment and you get more. You get to support Internet Web Sites for the Arizona Council, the American Council and ACB Radio. And much much more.
As I said, I don't know how to get people to pay money to join us, so I am asking all who read this article to make sure your membership is current and to ask others in your circle of friends and relations to join. Yes, I want you to do my job for me. Of course, I will be willing to give you something if you help me. It you can get five new members to join you will receive one year free for yourself. If you are interested please get five applications have them filled in and put them in an envelope with the money and mail to our office. Please put attention membership or in care of membership on the address.

A Bone to Chew On
By Ginger Bennett, GDUI
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. -
Remember the old joke about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who lies in bed at night wondering if there is a Dog? He would have felt right at home here, in the mix of godliness and dogginess that makes up the biggest work ever created by Stephen Huneck, an internationally popular Vermont artist and sculptor known especially for the animal themes in his carvings.
At first glance, the building looks like any 19th-century Vermont church, small and white and steepled. "Chapel," it says in front, in great gold letters.
But wait. That winged figure on the steeple - isn't that, could it be, a flying Labrador retriever? And the announcement board out front, instead of listing services, says: "Welcome. All Creeds, All Breeds. No Dogmas Allowed."
Inside, the stained-glass windows depict no biblical images but rather a dog chasing a ball, a dog being petted, a dog wearing a halo. And they offer simple messages like "Peace," "Play," "Friend" and, in the central position, "Love."
The four pews are held up by life-sized carvings of seated dogs, and in the racks that would usually hold hymnals are copies of Mr. Huneck's first book, "My Dog's Brain." On the wall of the entrance hall hang cards and photos of dozens of pets loved and lost, with epigraphs from bereaved owners like "Sam - my best boy waiting in heaven" and "For Bellamy - our first best hairiest friend." Guardians of theological correctness can relax. This is no effort to form. Some kind of canine-ite cult. It is, Mr. Huneck said, just his effort at creating a place of serenity where people can connect with themselves and their dogs, alive and dead. (Dogs are very welcome inside, as they are at Mr. Huneck's galleries in Woodstock, Vt.; Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Mass.; Santa Fe, N.M., and Key West, Fla.) "My personal message is that we've all become so distanced from nature, and dogs are an important link with it," said Mr. Huneck (pronounced HEW-neck). "
It's also about dogs: it's saying they can be our guides. They can teach us so much just by their natures. Dogs have an incredible love which they can teach us." There is not only a message behind the chapel, but also a harrowing story.
In 1994, when he was 45, Mr. Huneck fell down a staircase and wound up in the local hospital. There, he contracted adult respiratory distress syndrome, an often-fatal disease, and fell into a coma that lasted two months. His wife, Gwen, barely left his side, and among the inducements she gave him to recover were reminders that he had been planning to begin making woodcuts inspired by their black Labrador, Sally.
"I figured if anything would get him better, that would," she said. "His life is his art."
Mr. Huneck almost died, and indeed stopped breathing for more than five minutes at one point. When he came to, he had to learn to walk again, and he was so weak he could barely turn a doorknob, but he was back. His first woodcut depicted a swimming dog chasing a floating ball. It was captioned "Life Is a Ball." More dog woodcuts followed, and he has since produced three dog's- eye books of woodcut prints - "My Dog's Brain" and two starring Sally, "Sally Goes to the Beach" and "Sally Goes to the Mountains."
Mr. Huneck said his dogs helped greatly in his recovery. The Hunecks, who have no children, have five dogs: three Labs, a golden retriever and a Dalmatian, Dottie.
"They're very, very sensitive, and understood I was ill and wanted to help me," he said. He needed exercise to recover, and when he went for walks in the woods, his dogs would surround him and urge him on, as if he were their puppy.
"Nobody can understand it unless you've been there," said Mr. Huneck, a burly man of part Native American ancestry whose eyes sometimes carry an unusual gleam that might be creative energy or, one can't help speculating, might be a "been there and back" glow. When he works, he said, he shows the finished pieces to the dogs, and "if they sniff the butt of a carving, it's a home run."
One day, an idea popped into his head, as ideas constantly do. "I can see it so clearly," he said. " `Build a chapel for dogs.' With little light bulbs around it blinking." The idea of honoring dogs was not unique. The American Kennel Club has the Dog Museum in St. Louis, and there is a National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, Tenn. There is even an antique dog collar museum at Leeds Castle in England.
But it obsessed Mr. Huneck, and he set about both the design work and the task of earning the $200,000 or so that it eventually cost. Though Mr. Huneck has a staff of about 20 in Vermont alone, and though he works with great discipline, usually from 7 in the morning until 5 in the evening with no days off, he had about $250,000 in medical bills to pay off. At times, Gwen Huneck said, it was a question of moving ahead with the chapel or heating the house. Finally, though, the chapel officially opened this year, on a rise on a 150- acre former farm that Mr. Huneck has named Dog Mountain and outfitted with its own sawmill, wood kiln and generator.
The chapel has drawn no ire from local ministers, Mr. Huneck said, because they can see that it does not proselytize. And it has struck enough of a chord among dog people everywhere that it is already drawing wide publicity and a regular stream of visitors. One of them, Ellen Dennis of Rochester, wept as she read some of the postings on the wall of remembrance today. "It's so comforting to know there are so many other people who feel so close to their dogs," she said. The chapel, she said, "just brings a little bit of reverence to the relation-ship people have with their pets. It really does validate and give comfort to people."
Another visitor, Beth Edwards of Franconia, N.H., said: "I love the thought of the recognition that when your animal passes, it is significant. You need what comfort and solace you can get, just like when a person passes."
The chapel is open every day from June to October, or by appointment. The gallery next door offers a range of Mr. Huneck's work, from $10 T- shirts to $5,000 hand-carved chairs, but entrance to the chapel is free, and Mr. Huneck sees it as noncommercial.
"It's about the psyche," he said. "It wasn't done as a salesroom." It is also, he said, about the love dogs teach. "They jump up on you and give you a kiss," he said, "and what's wrong with doing that with your better half?"

Sensory Park
Sight-impaired 'see' sensory park's bounty Glendale parcel honors garden
enthusiast Elizabeth Neuse
The Arizona Republic
Aug. 1, 2001
Close your eyes. Now keep them closed for a year and try to remember what the trees and flowers in your favorite garden look like. This is what Paul Bushkin has done since he lost his sight to diabetes last year. Now Bushkin and other visually impaired people won't have to rely on memory.
After six years of planning, a sensory garden designed for the blind and nearly blind has opened in Glendale.
Anyone can visit the park at 55th and Orangewood avenues, but it is geared to help people with partial to complete blindness see the garden.
A bronzed map at the entrance helps visitors mentally visualize what the park looks and feels like, down to the texture of the paths that criss-cross the garden. Landscape architect Kris Flood said that during the design phase, when visually impaired people were asked to feel the bronzed map and describe what they thought the park would look like, their descriptions were right on. "It gave us all goose bumps to know that they could experience it without seeing it," Flood said. Bushkin was an avid gardener and president of the Valley of the Sun Gardeners before diabetes and medication to keep his body from rejecting a pancreas transplant blinded him. He can't work a job, but he still gardens at home, patiently working all day to plant 15 tomato plants, which would have taken him only 2 hours before he lost his sight. "I just get out there and crawl around," Bushkin said. "It's tough some-times, but really, what choice do I have but to keep a good attitude?" He has been part of the committee working for six years to design the park, which honors garden enthusiast Elsie McCarthy.
McCarthy's father was blind, and she, too, lost her sight near the end of her life. She willed $675,000 to a city that would build a sensory garden. She left the job to her lawyer, Peter Van Camp, who, with help from the steering committee, spent most of the six years searching for the perfect site. They finally found the 3/4-acre plot of land in Glendale. Bushkin can walk from his home to the new park by himself. Mayor Elaine Scruggs said the park will be put to good use. "This is definitely one of the city's most outstanding parks," Scruggs said. "I can't believe a piece of land so small could turn into something so wonderful." Katherine Emery, landscape architect for Glendale, commissioned architects Barbara Crisp and Flood to design the park. Emery explained that the park is divided into four miniature parks, each with a different theme based on Native American beliefs, and a water feature for visitors to hear and touch. For instance, the contemplation garden features low stone benches and plants that bloom in the winter.
Plants were chosen so that something is always blooming and to create stark contrasts in color so partially blind people can see the distinction.

From the Presidents Desk

"If you build it, they will come."
The prevailing philosophy in blindness for many years has been what I call the adjustment model. People who are blind learn adaptive skills and methods for doing things without eye sight. Once these skills are learned, it is believed that a person can fully participate in most if not all aspects of their lives. It is believed that a person can then compete on a equal basis with their sighted peers and become fully integrated into the community.
Put into practice this model works to some degree. That is to say, learning adaptive skills and methods is a key component for success. However, statistically most people who are blind are still excluded from the social, economic and educational benefits enjoyed by their sighted peers. The missing component necessary to include people who are blind is the
infrastructure, the basic accessible structure of a system needed to support its performance. The infrastructure needed to facilitate the full inclusion of people with eyesight disabilities is characterized by dir ct access to information and services. It is accessible pedestrian street crossings, It is public transportation systems with stop or loading zone non-visual locators and consistent location call outs. It is the availability of descriptive video of television and theater programs. It is full internet compatibility with adaptive technology It is this and more. At its core, it is the basic thought process that considers the needs of people with eyesight and print disabilities in the planning and implementation of systems. With this infrastructure in place we will be able to change the unacceptable exclusion of people who are blind. While it is reasonable for people who are blind to accept the majority of the responsibility, it is also reasonable to expect society to make some changes to support and facilitate the inclusion of people who are blind. It is also reasonable that we give input for what those changes should be, And, we want to let people know that we require and expect to have a supportive infrastruture.
Bobbing Along with Bob

The 30th Annual Convention of the Arizona Council of the Blind was held on the week-end of May 11-13 at the Quality Hotel in Phoenix. The convention theme was "Street Smart" focusing on pedestrain safety and accessible traffic signal crossings.
Convention activities were off to a lively start on Friday evening with meeting, greeting and eating spiced up with fun and games. The highlight of the convention was the Executive Director Charles Crawford and his presentations during the meetings.
Dr. Edwin Druding called the meeting to order followed by an invocation by Richard Bailey. Recognition of visitors and members by President Dan Martinez. Dottie Huntley read the proclamation from Mayor Skip Rimsza designating that week-end as Arizona Council of the Blind street smart 30th annual state convention week-end.
Charles Crawford spoke on Safe Streets from the top down. He raised the question, "What happens when we confront situations for which we have not been prepared or the technology or methodology of instruction doesn't really get us safely across the street safely??" He said that every year 5500 Americans die in pedestrian accidents and the statistic indicates that approximately 23 are visually impaired. It is a sobering thought that every two weeks some visually impaired person does not make it across that street.
Election returns tallied (without any dangling or pregnant chads) that Dan Martinez was elected to presidency for an unprecedented 3rd term. Also re-elected were 2nd V-P Edwin Druding; Secretary- Barbara McDonald; Treasurer- Hal Newsom. Current board members elected to new positions were; Tom Belsan 1st VP; Robert Williams 3rd VP; Richard Bailey 4th VP. Ginger Bennett and Wayne Davis were elected to full four terms as directors.
Two concurrent sessions were held on Saturday with Julia Davis of Ariz Rehab Instructional Services with Cathy Carlise of RSA demonstrating sighted guide techniques. The other session with Ginger Bennett presiding witnessed the organization of the new Guide Dog Users of Arizona affiliate with 15 charter members.
The noon luncheon was a working session with longtime guide dog trainer and instructor Frank Lucas from Seeing Eye who spoke on the various types of audible traffic signal crossings and related problems.
Five panelists presented experiences dealing with local and long distance travel as a visually impaired individual. They included Charles Crawford from Washington, Denise Thompson from AZ office of Americans with Disabilities, Tom Belsan AzCB VP, Mike Horan Seeing Eye in NJ, and Gayle Richardson of Guide Dogs for the Blind in Calif.
Officer Jennifer Doty, 7 yr veteran with the Phoenix Police presented her popular self defense for visually impaired in physically threatening situations.
Betty Buxer, Phx Community Forum talked on the local bus transportation and talking signs and an update on Dial-a-Ride.
Cat Webster of Guide Dogs of he Desert responded to questions on issues such as working your dog in hot environments and training your dog to locate accessible traffic signal buttons at signal crossings.
Highlights of the banquet were: President Dan Martinez speaking briefly on truth, polarization of America and inclusion vs denigration; awarding of 7 scholarships totalling $2300; certificates of appreciation to retiring members Gail Irons and Dottie Huntley and finally, installation of new and used officers and board members. Banquet speaker Skip Bingham of RSA encouraged AzCB to "keep pushing the envelope, keep asking for things, keep making demands on society and the community. It is the only way we are going to progress".
Sunday morning hosted by Rev & Mrs Paul Carruthers with Chaplain Dick Bailey leading the singing. Business meeting concluded the activities with the selection of Phoenix as the site for the 2002 convention.
by Dr Frank Kells
I was pleased when Dr Druding, Convention Chairman. asked me to reminisce briefly about the founding of the Arizona Council of the Blind in 1971, thirty years ago. It's also somewhat of a challenge because there are very few of us still around when it was happening.
I would especially like to thank Harlene Anderson and Ruth Druding for helping with many of the details.
When I came to Phoenix in 1964 as director of the Phoenix Center for the Blind, I began to hear quite a bit about a successful blind attorney named John Van Landingham. Among his many accomplishments I heard of his recent service in the Arizona State Legislature. But I also picked up the feeling that John didn't have much to do with blind people, especially the organized blind movement. That was soon to change.
I first met John personally in 1966 when he came to me as a newly appointed Superior Court Judge by the then Governor Sam Goddard. He needed his judge's manual transcribed into Braille. It just so happened that I remembered a contact from my working days in New York who could do such highly technical work. Lo and behold, he was able to provide John with his Judge's manual. This seemed to be the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
At this point we must bring in another important player, Harlene Stone. That was her name back then. She is Harlene Anderson now, as many of you know her. In the 70's she and her late husband Burt Stone, attended the national convention of the American Council of the Blind. There they met a blind attorney who was also a Judge named Reece Robrohn. Incidentally, he later became president of the American Council. Learning that they came from Arizona, he asked them if they knew an old schoolmate from the Kansas School for the Blind named John Van Landingham. Of course they did and Mr. Robrahn gave them a message to take back loud and clear; "Get off the dime, John. We need a chapter started in Arizona and why don't you start one?" Well, that seemed to be all that John needed and went right to work.
First, he got the National Representative of the American Council, the late Durwood McDaniel, to come to Arizona to help him get this new chapter organized. He formed a working committee including Harlene and Burt Stone, Casey and Anne DeLint, Dick and Pearl Bailey, Ruth Bagby (Druding) and that one car transportation system Betty Johnson. Definitely, the most important member next to John was his lovely wife Ruby. You've heard the song "The Wind Beneath My Wings?" She was his eyes, wheels and even his ears. Yes, John had a hearing impairment also. She was his main consultant and John would be the first to admit, sometimes his severest critic.
Using the Maricopa Club of the Blind as a nucleus, they recruited other blind persons from Tucson, Flagstaff and other places around the state. Included were several of John's friends as a lawyer, judge and legislator to add financial strength to the fledgling organization. Thus, the Arizona Council of the Blind was launched with John Van Landingham as its first president and Harlene Stone as the 1st Vice-President.
Later, Harlene became President succeeded by Casey DeLint. Being the man that he was John was not satisfied with starting a chapter. In 1972 he chartered the Arizona Council of the Blind Federal Credit Union, which still serves the needs of many blind persons, their families and friends who couldn't get a loan elsewhere and provided such unique personal services as check writing, bill paying, credit management and many others. All thanks to three consecutive managers beginning with Ruby, followed by Betty Johnson then for the past 10 years Stan Hanshaw.
But wait, that is not the rest of the story yet. John was not satisfied. In a couple years he established the Arizona Council of the Blind Home Industries to take work to blind persons who couldn't travel to Arizona Industries for the Blind. Or other places of employment and also supply them with supplemental income. This project ran into difficulties due to the large overhead and also the marginal productivity of many of the blind workers. Eventually when the grant monies ran out the program was taken over by Cactus Industries another program with a sheltered workshop for people with all types of disabilities.
I think this might be a good time to stop reminiscing. My apology to any Arizona Council pioneers who have been overlooked. I welcome their addition to the list as I finish this story.
Allow me to add a postscript; especially for those who have worked long and hard in the organized blind movement. Back when I was an agency worker, I had the policy of trying to join both groups of the blind; the Council and the Federation. I wanted to be impartial and felt this was a good way of showing interest in the work and opinions of both groups. Now the Council accepted my membership gladly but not the Federation. Yes my dues were welcome but NOT if I wanted to be a member of the Council also I could not be a member of the Federation. When I left the Center in 1970, you can guess which group I joined officially. The Council. I hope this shed some light on how we got started.

There she is again, with her pipe dreams of selling bottled sauces in every supermarket; a true household name – this time with something that will blow your socks off.
The fridge was empty with the exception of some cheap and cheerful glazed ribs and a bag of slightly wilted salad and with an absolute hankering for some BBQ-saucey goodness, this bad boy was conceived. I'm all about the balance, especially when that balance is either delicately drizzled over your salad or your meat is completely drenched in it. This was more stable than a tightrope walker – jalapeno brine provided the salt and the peppers the heat, and the sticky honey was quite literally the glue that brought it all together, adding a much needed sweetness to quell the fire.
The method was easy. Scramble around your kitchen until you find something spicy, which in my case was a 3 month old (probably!) jar of jalapenos (which seemed to get hotter with age). Take 50g and throw them into your trusty, most versatile Nutribullet (not sponsored), taking care not to rub your eyes. Throw in 2 tablespoons of honey (brown sugar would probably also work, or whatever hipster honey alternative of choice may be) and 2 tablespoons of ketchup (mine is reduced sugar and salt – who's the hipster now?) and blend until it's as smooth as you want it. For me, hot sauce should always be smooth.
The smallest drizzle will satisfy and works out to be super low calorie because you don't need much. (Eat half as much, half the calories, amirite?)

Iraqi Red Crescent Paralyzed by Allegations
Another confrontation came over a 2005 government grant for the Red Crescent to build camps for Iraqis making the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. After the society spent the money, Hakki told Whayeb that the grant was a loan that needed to be repaid to the government, and directed her to transfer the money to him, which she did, according to Humeidi and other agency officials.
An Iraqi judge issued an arrest warrant for Hakki in 2005 on corruption charges related to the controversy, though the warrant was later rescinded. Iraq's public integrity commission is still reviewing the matter. Hakki said that he has no recollection of the project and that he has never embezzled money.
Under Hakki's leadership, the Red Crescent expanded rapidly. Its budget over the past five years has swelled from about $3 million to $60 million and its staff from 50 employees to 3,500, according to Mazin A. Salloum, the group's secretary general.
But several humanitarian organizations grew concerned over what they considered the Red Crescent's lack of transparency with funds, and some, including UNICEF, stopped working with the organization. "We simply don't know where our money went," said the head of one aid program, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared retaliation against his organization.
Hakki alienated some of his colleagues by employing Washington lobbying firms to help the Red Crescent seek U.S. government funding and to arrange for Hakki to meet U.S. officials. The arrangement is highly unusual for foreign humanitarian groups.
Since last year, the Red Crescent has paid $1.1 million to Cassidy & Associates and the Carmen Group. The lobbying has not resulted in any U.S. government funding for the Red Crescent, but Hakki defended the expenditure. "If we end up receiving millions of dollars for the Iraqi Red Crescent, then it is worth it," he said.
The Red Crescent retained both firms in February 2007 and ended its contract with Cassidy in March; the Carmen account remains active. Cassidy said it helped raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis; Carmen said it helped to improve the Red Crescent's relationship with the U.S. government and develop a refugee resettlement program.
Raheem Hassen al-Igeeli, the head of Iraq's Commission on Integrity, called the hiring of the firms "unacceptable" and said it was an improper use of government funds. "This money should be spent on humanitarian issues inside Iraq," he said.
Humeidi and other officials said the Red Crescent contracted to buy emergency aid packages from a company owned by a relative of one of Hakki's deputies for about $50 each -- even though the packages are worth only $10. Hakki said he could not recall the cost of the packages, which contain basic food items including rice and cooking oil, but said the agency worked hard to procure goods at the lowest price. He said he was not aware of the owner's connection to any Red Crescent employee.
In 2007, the Iraqi Bureau of Supreme Audit, the government's top auditing agency, said it had identified financial irregularities at the Red Crescent. Abdul Bassit Turki Saeed, the agency's president, said he could not determine what happened to about $50 million the government had sent to the organization. Hakki called the audit part of the government's smear campaign against him and said all the money was spent on sick and needy Iraqis.
"Why are they doing this to the only effective organization in Iraq helping people?" Hakki said in one interview. "I came from America to do something good for the people of Iraq. And I feel I have succeeded. I don't want the political parties to take over the Iraqi Red Crescent and ruin the success."
The Red Crescent's work began to stall late last year after the agency's audit. It reached the point of collapse in early July, when arrest warrants were issued for Hakki, Red Crescent Vice President Jamal Karbouli and at least 11 other officials.

Editorials from around New England
Editorials from around New England:
Where's the talk about cutting spending?
The Hartford Courant, May 24
For all the talk about where and how to raise taxes, legislators have actively avoided any talk about cutting spending in state government.
That conversation needs to start.
Some claim there's nowhere left to cut. Gov. Ned Lamont's budget proposed finding less than $100 million in "efficiencies" over two years. Even Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano told the Connecticut Post in February: "I think it's difficult to cut spending for a lot of different reasons."
There's no question cutting spending is a complicated task. Under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, the executive branch agencies shed about 3,000 jobs, some 10 percent of the workforce, saving hundreds of millions of dollars. Some departments are as lean as they can be. The Department of Transportation went so far as to close highway rest areas to save a few dollars. There are also "LEAN Coordinators" at more than 40 state agencies who are supposed to keep an eye out for efficiencies.
But that doesn't mean there's nowhere left to cut, or no efficiencies left to be found. Legislators have a responsibility to the people of Connecticut to aggressively seek out spending cuts, even if that means cutting back on some programs.
They have shirked that responsibility.
The former Commission on Fiscal Stability and Economic Growth suggested the state hire a consultant to find $1 billion in savings. It was a great idea, and it almost happened. But stunning bureaucracy shut it down.
In the 2018-19 session, the legislature required that the state Office of Policy and Management — the budget office — hire a consultant who would be tasked with finding $500 million in savings, without disrupting social service program benefits.
But the budget didn't provide any money to OPM to pay for the consultant.
The OPM dutifully solicited bids nonetheless, said spokesman Chris McClure. They received a number of bids, ranging from about $300,000 to over $1 million, to do the work. But with no money to pay for it, the offers weren't acted on.
It's time to get serious. There is still time for the legislature to fund the study, and they shouldn't hesitate.
Let's remember that the state's fiscal problems were caused by spending too much on state government over many decades and not paying for it along the way. Wouldn't it make sense to at least make a show of turning our attention to that?
It's true that cutting spending alone cannot solve the state's financial problems. Too much of the annual budget is fixed costs — paying debt, funding pensions and so forth take up about a third of the budget. There's not enough room to cut our way to prosperity.
But the lack of effort in at least addressing spending is inexcusable.

Feds follow right course on merger of T-Mobile, Sprint
The Republican of Springfield, May 22
A green light doesn't mean so much when there's also a traffic cop on the scene holding up a stop sign. Someone itching to move on may well find that he's got to continue to wait. He could even be told that the road has been closed, and that he'll thus need to find another route forward.
And so it is with T-Mobile's plan to acquire rival cellular carrier Sprint. On Monday, the Federal Communications Commission signaled that it would now be willing to give the green light to the proposed $26 billion hook-up of the third- and fourth-largest cell companies. But soon thereafter, the Justice Department wisely said to hold the phone.
Though changes the two companies had made to their plans had been sufficient to win over a majority of members on the FCC, regulators at the Justice Department continued to have their concerns. Specifically, they said, the merger may never pass muster because it would decrease competition by reducing from four to three the number of national carriers. And if you think that will encourage innovation and help to cut prices, you are doing some economic theorizing that is way outside the box.
Historically, the two government agencies have moved together on such deals. In fact, they've not diverged on a major merger or acquisition in at least four decades. But they've got separate and distinct mandates, with antitrust regulators at Justice directed to focus on competition.
Looked at from that standpoint, having four carriers has been working, and working pretty well. We didn't get here easily, and if we go from four to three, there'll be no turning back.
T-Mobile US currently has a bit more than 80 million subscribers, while Sprint Corp. has roughly 55 million. The nation's two largest cellular companies, AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, each have slightly more than 150 million subscribers.
As things stand now, customers have options. Unhappy with one carrier's offerings? Shop around for a deal that is more to your liking. Because of that fact, the companies can't sit still, but instead need to compete, to innovate, to try to offer more than the other guy.
That's why T-Mobile's longstanding efforts to link up with another carrier have continued to face opposition from the feds, and why the Justice Department is right not to follow the FCC's lead this time around.

Climate council would guide necessary changes
May 21
If you listened to some of the debate last week, you might have gotten the impression that Maine is in danger of doing too much about climate change.
Opponents of a bill that would create a 30-member advisory group to recommend regulatory changes aimed at shrinking Maine's carbon footprint say the measure would allow the executive branch to do things that ought to be done by the Legislature.
But they needn't worry. There is more than enough work for both branches of government, especially after an eight-year period where Maine acted as if nothing was happening to the climate. That changed in 2018, when voters sent Democrat Janet Mills to the Blaine House and delivered big Democratic majorities to the House and Senate. One-party control gives the Democrats the ability to get things done on climate change. The challenge will be doing the right things, and that's why Mills' proposal for a council of experts makes a lot of sense.
In her testimony in favor of the council, Mills summarized the problem well. As the planet heats up as a result of humans burning fossil fuels, she said, Maine can expect "more ticks, less cod, fewer herring and scallops, lobsters moving north, sap houses facing shorter seasons. Doctors and nurses warning about growing asthma rates in children. Seniors warned to stay indoors as ozone rates climb."
These threaten the health and well-being of Maine residents, as well as our leading industries. But a smart response can also create opportunities for Maine residents.
Maine currently spends $5 billion a year on oil and gas we use to generate electricity, fuel our vehicles and heat our homes. Switching to renewable energy generated here would not only reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere, but also would create jobs and generate property tax revenue. Changing over will require new infrastructure, such as charging stations for electric vehicles or helping replace inefficient home-heating systems with high-efficiency electric heat pumps.
The kinds of policies that will need be implemented to meet Mills' goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2050 will not be developed with new laws or regulatory changes on their own. It will require both branches working together along with a private sector making significant investments.
And since Maine can't reverse global warming on its own, it will need the same kind of effort to become more resilient in the face of sea-level rise and other effects of global warming.
Mainers are right to be concerned about climate change, but one thing they don't need to worry about is doing too much. Creation of the Maine Climate Council is an overdue response to a problem that demands swift and smart action.

Rochester raising its profile in the art world
Foster's Daily Democrat, May 20
Earlier this month, any resident of the Seacoast could see a work of a major American artist in Rochester for free. This is not fake news. It's true.
And later this month, anyone in the Seacoast can see the work of a major American artist, up close and personal, once again in Rochester for free.
The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts has had quite a month, with two unprecedented art exhibits in these parts. If something builds from these two events, we'll all look back and note this is when it started. And, hopefully, we can all say we were there when it did.
Some may be surprised to find out that Rochester even has an art museum. Located in the Rochester Community Center and the Rochester Public Library, the Rochester Museum of Fine Art is a community arts initiative dedicated to making exceptional fine art accessible to all. The group also curates the art exhibits at the Rochester Performance and Arts Center.
In early May, The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts in association with The Argh Gallery presented a one-day exhibition featuring a genuine "LOVE" screen print signed by Robert Indiana. On May 4, the group hosted a reception and invited the public free of charge.
Indiana, who passed away at this time last year on May 18, 2018 but had been creating for 90 years of life, was an American artist associated with the pop art movement. His "LOVE" print, first created for the Museum of Modern Art's Christmas card in 1965, was the basis for his 1970 "LOVE" sculpture and the widely distributed in 1973 as a United States Postal Service "LOVE" stamp.
In 1994, Indiana did a limited run of green "LOVE" prints to benefit the Greenpeace organization. Indiana personally gave one of the prints to Sarah Knoy, director of the Greenpeace offices in Chicago, Illinois. A partnership between Knoy and the ARGH Gallery in Manchester brought the print to the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts to display it and now the gallery is offering it for sale.
On Friday, May 31 from 5 to 7 p.m., the Rochester MFA will present a special exhibition called "A Tribute to Sunday B. Morning" in the RPAC Art Gallery. The exhibition will feature four, count 'em four, of Andy Warhol's iconic Marilyn Monroe screenprint series.
In 1967, Warhol produced what would become the most iconic representations of Monroe. He created a series of 10 variations, each with virtually the same composition, but different color variations. These original prints are known as the "Factory Additions." The most valuable Marilyn screenprints, they auction anywhere from $100,000 for a single print to over $1.5 million for the suite.
After publishing "Factory Additions," Warhol collaborated with two friends from Belgium on a second series of prints. Warhol wanted to play on the concept of mass production and that the Factory Addition prints were somehow more important than the second series. Warhol provided the photo negatives and color codes needed to create silkscreens exactly like the first series and the "Sunday B. Morning" screenprints were made in 1970.
Sunday B. Morning LLC has donated the entire selection of Marilyn prints to the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts. The prints will be exhibited temporarily in the RPAC Art Gallery then added to the museum's permanent collection.
Once again, they'll be open to the public for viewing free of charge. Kudos to the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts for making artwork of this quality available to anyone on the Seacoast. Let's make sure we can all say we were there at the start.

State's economy still needs work, May 21
The news certainly sounded great last week. The monthly state jobs report released Thursday found that Rhode Island added 4,200 jobs, hitting a record high of 500,300 of them. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, the lowest it has been since April 1989.
Wow! What's not to like?
Unfortunately, a lot, according to University of Rhode Island economist Leonard Lardaro.
That is because other, perhaps more important numbers suggest the state's economy is struggling mightily.
The unemployment number, for example, is "meaningless," Mr. Lardaro said. That is because it was brought about by a large number of people dropping out of the workforce in Rhode Island, either because they are retiring or have given up looking for work — not because greater numbers of people are working.
"What they never tell you," Professor Lardaro wrote in red on a chart he tweeted out Sunday, with an arrow pointing to a circled statistic he considers vitally important: The year-over-year change in civilian labor force, which includes the people employed and those actively looking for work. It shrank by 2,600, to 553,000.
As Journal Staff Writer Paul Edward Parker wrote in a May 16 news story ("R.I.-based jobs increase, but labor force continues to fall"), "the workforce has not come close to reaching its pre-recession peak of 574,000," in December 2006.
Indeed, this year it has been falling: to 555,400 in February, 554,100 in March and 553,000 in April.
If the economy was strong, that number would be growing. "That's a big negative. That's a really big negative," Mr. Lardaro said. He thinks the state's economic leaders should be in "crisis mode" rather than celebrating Thursday's numbers.
While it is good for Rhode Island that the total number of in-state jobs has grown, many of those could be part-time or low-paying jobs.
Moreover, the state's growth in gross domestic product has been sluggish since 2015. Both New England and the nation as a whole have experienced much stronger economic growth than Rhode Island. Meanwhile, a May 3 report by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that Rhode Island was America's only state to record no year-over-year personal income growth in 2018.
What to make of this? As we have been warning for years now, the state has not made the structural changes necessary to get its economy in gear, including dramatically improving its mediocre public schools and shifting from an obsession with serving special interests.
At the State House, where budget-writers are grappling with a possible $150 million deficit, there seems little appetite for expensive new programs and higher Medicaid and service taxes proposed by Gov. Gina Raimondo. Indeed, her "tool box" of economic incentives to create a critical mass of high-paying jobs in Rhode Island, something we have enthusiastically supported, could be at risk. (All the same, the governor and legislators were only too happy this month to saddle taxpayers with costly new giveaways to politically powerful public employee unions.)
Mr. Lardaro believes that state leaders are only fooling themselves if they are celebrating such numbers as last Thursday's. "People are feeling it," he said: Rhode Islanders understand they should be doing better, given the roaring national economy.

The paid family leave bill passed the Vermont Senate 19-10 last week.
The program is expected to cost at least $30 million a year and will be paid by Vermont workers through a 0.2-percent payroll tax. If history is any guide, the tax rate on everyone's wages will creep up as the left demands more (and longer) leave and higher pay replacement.
The new plan would also cost taxpayers a few million a year in a Department of Labor slush fund, take awhile to build up reserves, fund a new bureaucracy and create an adminstrative nightmare for all Vermont employers.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Jane Kitchell, D-Caledonia, isn't opposed to employees having family leave. But she is rightly averse to the regressive payroll tax to fund it - taking money out of the pockets of low-wage earners without offering much, if any, benefit in return. She rightly objected that the Legislature is already failing to address the needs of the most vulnerable Vermonters.
"I am simply talking about the fiscal realities of what the impact of taking this much revenue out of the workers of the state will have on our ability to substantially address very serious areas of need," Kitchel said.
Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia, the Senate Republican leader, said he and the Republican caucus believe the Legislature's paid leave plan is fiscally irresponsible compared to Gov. Phil Scott's proposal. "Our governor took the lead on this question and proposed a plan that was historic in the fact that two governors (VT and NH) got together and decided to make this attempt in a situation that they knew could float financially and bring benefits to people who don't have them," Benning said.
Senior Democratic Senators Kitchel, Dick Sears, D-Bennington, and Dick Mazza, D-Grand Isle, joined Sen. John Rodgers, D-Essex/Orleans and the chamber's six Republicans in opposing the bill. Sen. Bobby Starr, D-Essex Orleans, was absent.
Somebody has to get through to the leftist Democrats and Progressives that there is a limit to how far the state can go in creating new tax grabs to subsidize "unmet needs." And they should listen to Senator Kitchel when she astutely points out there are a lot better ways to help address these existing "unmet needs" that the Legislature is already managing badly.
We're glad that Senators Kitchel, Benning and Rodgers did their best to get those points across but we shake our heads that their sober concerns were summarily ignored.
But the thing that really bothers us is how unnessary it all is.
If lawmakers wanted to actually help Vermont workers, they could accomplish it in a simple, one-page bill. They could simply order all employers to offer the benefits outlined in the bill. That legislation could easily take effect July 1.
No taxes; no slush fund; no 2-year delay in implementation to build up the reserves; no delay in filing for benefits while some government bureaucrat reviews the request; no stealing money off the top to increase state employee pay; no new state hires to administer the plan; no workers who will never use the plan being taxed to subsidize outfits like Planned Parenthood and Efficiency Vermont; no interruption in company 401K and pension plans (weekly automatic deposits can easily be done as part of payroll).
When leave payments are done as part of regular payroll the employee still receives that benefit and no interruption in credited service or vesting service calculations (the state plan would create a mass of bookkeeping nightmares to calculate these interruptions).
But that all makes way too much sense and would deprive the state of their money grab and slush fund.
We call on Governor Phil Scott to veto this nightmare bill.

Cons: Luggage did not arrive.
Pros: Deni, our flight attendant, was most attentive, giving Robert, who is legally blind, assistance with safety features if needed, one on one as we were seated.
Pros: The crew was attentive
Cons: We sat on the runway for an hour.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I was sick so couldn't fly, spoke to customer care and they refused to let me change my flight
Pros: The movies
Cons: Flights being on time. Friendlier staff. They would t have misplaced my luggage.
Cons: Delayed flight.
Cons: Guy behind me kept asking for a seat upgrade and when they didn't oblige spent the whole 11hours kicking the back of my chair in protest. I understand this isn't the crews' fault. But maybe the bid upgrade for seats isn't the best system?
Pros: Lots of room on the flight, fresh warm bread, lots of water, nice cabin crew
Cons: How do I book a vegetarian meal??
Cons: We arrived more than a half hour late, and considering this was about 4 am, this was significant. The guy in the middle seat was tall and had to speard his legs intruding on my space.
Pros: Great. Very smooth and comfortable!
Pros: The food selection and drinks, given our coach class, were excellent. Nice attention to the passengers.
Cons: Seat was super uncomfortable. Could not fit in my legs at all, could not recline it enough. Maybe sufficient for a one hour flight, definitely not on an intercontinental flight.
Pros: Crew was wonderful and welcoming!
Cons: Excelente aerolínea
Cons: Really hard to get boarding passes online
Pros: Got from one place to another
Cons: Seats are terrible, no entertainment, and high expenses even for soda! Since when is BA in a race to the bottom with all of the other terrible airlines?!
Cons: Connector was late so I'm stuck in London til tomorrow
Pros: very helpful
Cons: That we did not have to have a 4 hour stop over in Madrid
Pros: I travel 70 times a year and I try to avoid BA the f I can. This flight 2 hrs late and they ran out of food as hey got to me I'm tge back. The toilets ran out of water 3/4 of the way through the flight so people couldn't use the toilets. Not good. Zz
Cons: Gg
Pros: yes seats were more comfortable and more leg room than the other airlines I have used
Cons: It was all pretty good and despite leaving a little late we got there on time
Cons: They left my bag off the plane. Ridiculous.
Pros: Friendly crew, upgraded seat was worthwhile
Cons: More snacks in between meals,
Pros: The flight crew was so friendly and the food was really good.
Cons: Travelled business class and was ace experience
Pros: Good beverage service.
Cons: Over an hour delayj for departure.
Pros: The entertainment was great and the crew, for the most part, was pleasant.
Cons: Leaving on time and the consideration of connection flights and how it inconveniences your customers when this happens.
Cons: Late - again!
Pros: The flight was on time and boarding/de-boarding was very easy. there was ample overhead storage for everyone.
Cons: Extremely uncomfortable seats (I travel internationally multiple times a year and am used to long flights). Other international flights include beer or wine The food was mediocre at best
Pros: Easy boarding, short flight
Cons: Free water at least would have been nice.
Pros: Crew were very friendly and helpful.
Pros: The crew always friendly
Pros: Crew let us know that we all would make our connections.
Cons: Really poor communication prior to the flight taking off. Crew did not tell us the flight was going to be delayed until after our departure time. And then gave us little guidance afterwards.
Cons: The attendants kept bumping the seats when they walked by.
Pros: The seats were spacious though they did not recline at all. The flight was very smooth, including the landing!
Cons: We sat on the runway for 35 min due to a maintenance issue, but the wifi was working, so it made the time go by.
Pros: They loaded from back to front
Cons: Comfort - seats seemed smaller than normal
Cons: Delayed takeoff by an hour because the plane was too heavy. Had to kick 8 passengers off the flight before they would takeoff.
Pros: Seat was hard, not much foot space
Cons: My wife and Iasked for a snack, it was never delivered
Pros: The plane left on time and arrived early.
Cons: Horrible boarding experience. We were not offered a choice of seats when we checked in and had to wait at the gat
Pros: Crew was great. Planes with built in TV was even better.
Cons: One really obnoxious kid kept screaming the entire time. Instead of charging for earbuds maybe give them out for those of us that don't have any.
Pros: The crew and the boarding were good
Cons: No food. Just unhealthy snacks
Cons: Flight late, flight attendants skipped ovee
Pros: I bought the ticket from Iceland Air because their flights schedule dovetailed nicely with a traveling companion.
Cons: On the eve of my departure, I was informed that my return flight had been cancelled and rescheduled without: any offer of compensation, or, an offer of alternative flight arrangements. Pleas to address the situation were totally ignored. This, I believe, is an unconscionable way to run an airline.
Pros: Crew nice and courteous
Cons: More comfy Seats, with non conflicting armrests
Pros: Crew let us know that we all would make our connections.
Cons: Really poor communication prior to the flight taking off. Crew did not tell us the flight was going to be delayed until after our departure time. And then gave us little guidance afterwards.
Cons: Second part of flight was hours late because planewas not available. There was no food not even cookies and the coffee was undrinkable
Cons: Flight was overbooked and we were not boarded. The personnel at the gate desk asked us to wait in the hallway outside the gate until further notification. When the plane was almost finished boarding, I went to the desk to find out whether we would get on. They admitted they had "forgotten about us". We then took the arduous trek through passport control back out to the main terminal to rebook. The only option we were presented was a flight the next day, instead of our 9h direct flight from Frankfurt to Seattle this was going to be a 19h flight via a long layover in Chicago. I tried hard to work with the agent to find another option, and asked for the supervisor. She told me "this isn't going to help you". Horrible horrible.
Pros: Enough room between the seats. Very nice and helpful crew.
Cons: One has to pay extra money to get a decent video program. There were only two movies available in the economy class .
Cons: Condor asked me to check in my hand luggage due to lack of space. Then they lost it. That happens... But after losing my luggage Condor acts like it is not their problem and tells me I should work with some generic luggage tracker company.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: It took over an hour for the baggage to start coming out, and they were so disorganized it came out on two different baggage carousels.
Cons: Flight delayed for more than an hour but we were told we couldn't check the luggage even though we had already checked in!!! Cleared immigration without being able to check our luggage and the flight still hadn't landed to even refuel and go through it's ground checks!Now we're without clothes for a week!! Worst customer service ever with aggressive non chalant Condor agents worst travel experience ever
Pros: Crew was very friendly! Flight was very comfortable
Pros: The crew were helpful and kind.
Cons: I think over-all is good and there is no need to change you do.
Pros: Crew nice and courteous
Cons: More comfy Seats, with non conflicting armrests
Pros: You have to put up with a lot but it's a cheap way to get to Europe.
Cons: As has happened to us before our extra leg roo. Seats (that we paid extra money for) disappeared when we checked in and we're replaced with separate seats in the back of the plane. Boarding is long and very disorganized. It took over an hour to get our bags.
Pros: Really comfortable plane
Cons: Slow boarding
Pros: Very tiny not enough space even for small people...very uncomfortable long haul..crew wasn't much available
Cons: Food they could have spare a little of food on long haul flight and drinks water, hot drinks were sporadic...had to go and ask.srvice was slow and not so great...even free movies like most planes would have been nice
Pros: The flight was only delayed 45min instead of 48hrs (like our original flight was).
Cons: Delays, terrible food, the guy roaming around the pre boarding area whose only job is to weigh random bags and charge $75 when you're over the unpublished weight limit (and the bags were fine on the trip over, so not sure what changed). Expensive inflight entertainment.
Pros: The plane didn't fall out of the sky. But that's about all I can say on a positive note.
Cons: Plane departs and arrives late. Crew extremely disorganized. Did not give clear direction to passengers. My "upgraded legroom" seats turned out to be a walkway to and from the restrooms which were right in front of me. I was constantly bothered with other flyers waking me and disturbing me as they used this walkway.
Pros: Nonstop flight for a good price
Cons: Boarding was very slow, had to wait in gangway for 15 min. It was very hot. 2 movies are free, any others €8 extra!! Ridiculous
Pros: I liked nothing about Condor Airlines and my life would be dramatically better had I never encountered this company.
Cons: They cancelled my departing flight with no announcement or warning at all on the day of departure. I had to figure it out on my own. Rather than put me on another flight they rescheduled me to depart the next day from a city on the other side of the US from my original departure city and told me I would have to book my own transport to the new departure city. I spent 5 hours on the phone with them before heading to the airport where I was given a flight to the new departure city but now my nonstop flight had 2 layovers with one being 5 hours long. Luckily, this rescheduling meant I didn't take a Condor flight out. But my return flight was on a Condor plane and it was awful. Cramped seating and hot with no in-flight entertainment or the option to purchase WiFi. I will never fly Condor airlines ever again and I'd recommend anyone stay away from them.
Pros: We didn't crash.
Cons: We continue not to crash.
Pros: Great Crew
Cons: Slight departure delay - no big deal
Pros: The crew did the best they could
Cons: Flight was super delayed with no explanation
Pros: Air Canada is always a great travel experience.
Cons: The food is terrible. It's the worst I've had from any airline.
Pros: Super comfortable business class seats
Pros: It was a fairly short flight. Seats were comfortable and the entertainment system worked
Cons: Flying out of long beach or santa Ana because lax is a zoo
Cons: Too many pasengers had carryons. Lots of confusion on the plane for storage
Pros: Landing was smooth
Cons: Communication Entertainment
Pros: Air Canada is always a great travel experience.
Cons: The food is terrible. It's the worst I've had from any airline.
Cons: The flight was late leaving and most of the passengers needed to catch connecting flights, so there was some anxiety as the crew didn't have any information as to whether or not we'd be able to connect.
Pros: Absolutely nothing.
Cons: Absolutely everything.
Pros: Middle seats had little useful legroom due to conduit
Cons: The plane was hot, muggy, and had little airflow with no user movable nozzles. Lots of people sweating for 6+hours.
Cons: Boarding be insured as I have a ticket
Pros: The food was better than most other airlines
Cons: The boarding process is confusing. Checking the passports separately in the same area boarding lead to a lot of congestion and confusion. The boarding pass reading machines often didn't work. It looked like passengers in higher classes couldn't use the economy machines.
Pros: Flight was delayed, but the crew did all they can to make passengers feel comfortable.
Cons: No food for vegetarians.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

While my husband recovers from a health issue, I have been clicking off projects in the house. Cleaning, organizing and decluttering. Including, of course my studio.
Betting I could paper the inside of my house with the tons of paper in my studio, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. Three years ago when we moved, I purged an enormous amount of supplies, and despite a moratorium on buying any more art supplies, here we are again.
Add to that, I've been reassessing the artwork in my home. My cool blue, green and yellow palm trees in our living area seemed a bit too quiet and serene for a room with orange, lemon and lime slices on the carpet.
What to do?
Declutter and use it for Collage! Pasting tissue paper, old beach sketches, pictures of some seashells I had painted, I started gluing onto the back of a painting that no longer brought me joy. There's even a nod to my mentor, Dan Hines. His daughter had sent along some postage stamps she thought I might use in my card making. See if you can find them.
Thinking the palm trees may go in the guest room….or if Jim's recovery takes longer than we think, perhaps it will get collaged over too!
"Did You Art Today?"

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a loan agreement with the Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (GOSL) on 11 July to provide Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) loan up to Yen 10.639 billion for the Health and Medical Service Improvement Project.
The objective of the project is to improve medical services for the diagnosis and treatment of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) by strengthening the medical facilities and equipment at the tertiary care hospitals, providing equipment to training institutions for Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLT) and strengthening the maintenance and management system for medical equipment at the Bio Medical Engineering Services under the Ministry of Health, Nutrition and Indigenous Medicine (MOH) and target medical institutions.
The targeted tertiary care hospitals of the project are Anuradhapura, Badulla, Kandy, Kurunegala and Trincomalee. The loan funds will be mainly allocated towards the improvement of cath labs in the above hospitals, facility and equipment improvements and technical assistance for medical equipment maintenance and management, etc. at the above institutions.
The GOSL has made remarkable strides in basic health services such as communicable diseases and maternal and child health over the past decades. However, despite these measures, since 1980s the prevalence of NCDs is on rise due to the increase in the elderly population and lifestyle changes. Approximately 60 percent of the total deaths in the country during 1990s which were caused by NCDs were increased up to 81 percent in 2015 including cardiovascular diseases.
Despite the numerous programs implemented by GOSL to improve NCDs in the country, inadequate medical facilities and equipment for necessary diagnosis and treatments, especially in the rural tertiary care hospitals have been hindering the achievement in the NCD management. The equipment at training institutions for MLTs who carry out the tests needed for the diagnosis of NCDs and other diseases are also seen as either insufficient or in poor condition.
Furthermore, managing the existing medical equipment, maintenance and management system also needs to be strengthened. The new JICA project is expected to address these issues at the targeted medical institutions noted above.
This project is a remarkable milestone of JICA cooperation extended towards the health sector of Sri Lanka and the outcome of the project is expected to contribute immensely to the improvement of diagnosis and treatment services for NCDs in Sri Lanka.
