PEOPLE who say they read Playboy magazine for the articles might be telling the truth, after it published an account of an elaborate scam that had the CIA believing Al-Jazeera was sending coded messages for Al-Qaeda.
The con artist convinced the CIA and other US agencies that he could decode secret messages sent by al-Qaeda through Al-Jazeera broadcasts in 2003, Playboy magazine reported.
Duped by claims that "bar codes" on Al-Jazeera television contained targeting information for al-Qaeda attacks, former president George W. Bush's administration raised the terror alert and cancelled several transatlantic flights in December 2003, the report said, citing former CIA officials.
The swindler at the centre of the scam was Dennis Montgomery, head of a small software company in Reno, Nevada.
He persuaded the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security that his technology could decipher messages with flight numbers and longitudes and latitudes meant for al-Qaeda operatives.
With assistance from French intelligence, CIA officials eventually concluded there were no secret messages in Al-Jazeera television broadcasts, said the report, published in the magazine's latest edition.
"A branch of the French intelligence services helped convince the Americans that the bar codes were fake," it said.
CIA and French officials asked another technology company to find or re-create codes from Al-Jazeera transmissions and "found definitively that what Montgomery claimed was there was not," it said.
But even after the CIA stopped cooperating with Mr Montgomery, he succeeded in convincing other government agencies that he had valuable code-breaking technology.
In January 2009, he signed a $US3 million ($3.39 million) research contract with the US Air Force, according to Playboy.
"We were testing some of the software. We were just looking at it to see if there was anything there," Joseph Liberatore, an Air Force program manager, told the magazine.
Mr Montgomery has faced a number of lawsuits and last year was charged with bouncing nine checks worth a total of one million dollars in Las Vegas.
Playboy ran the story online with a gallery of "military-themed nude pictorials".

President Donald Trump's hair is punching well below its weight and needs to seriously think about moving to the head of a much worthier celebrity, according to a new study undertaken by the American Society of Trichology.
Their Press Officer Cody Schlibbits said: 'The hair is world famous but for it to be throwing itself away by just sitting atop the head of a guy like Trump is crazy. Does it have no self respect or ambition at all? We have now written to it suggesting it seriously considers moving to someone like Johnny Depp, Michael Bublé or Prince William to make a statement that says – Look at me! I really am world-class!'
But New York barber, Luigi Cafolla, who has cut Trump's hair for over four decades disagrees. 'Hey, what can I tell yah? For Mr Trump's hair to leave him after all this time would be suicide for them both. They just kinda fit one another. Sure, we laugh when we see them together. Same as when we see him alongside Melania. Everyone knows it's wrong and it don't fool nobody… but it just puts a smile on our faces. Know what I'm sayin'?'

Reducing CPU Utilization on Clients During Backups
During backups, if a client shows high CPU usage, check the following:
- Software compression settings and signature generation on the subclient
- Number of streams configured
Higher number of streams leads to greater CPU utilization.
- Software compression settings on the storage policy copy
By default, data is transferred according to compression settings defined by the storage policy copy.
You can reduce the CPU usage on the client computer by compressing the data on the MediaAgent. For more information, see Modifying Software Compression on a Subclient or Instance.
If you do not want to modify the compression settings, you can set sSDTHeadMaxCPUUsage additional setting on the client computer to allocate certain amount of CPU usage for backups. For instructions on creating additional setting, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

Spring has sprung, and with it, lots and lots of pollen dust. The common plague for most people who come into contact with the soft, yellow powder is "hay fever". But, another aggravation unrelated to health can be pollen dust on your clothes. If you happen to brush up against that beautiful hibiscus plant while walking through a restaurant patio, you may suddenly have extra decoration on your white linen pants. While pollen usually is dry and loose, brushing the particles with your hand can do more harm than good because the pressure from you palm, along with skin oils, can smear the dust further into your clothing. So, how do you remove the offensive dust with the least amount of residue on your fabric?
Try one of these three methods for immediate removal. And, if you do end up with pollen stains on your clothes, there are some remedies for stain removal as well.
Pollen Dust Removal
If you notice the pollen dust immediately, removal of loose particles can be done rather easily, particularly with coarser and less dense fabrics (e.g., tweed, linen). Some pollen is more granular and lighter in color as well making for simple removal. No matter the technique, however, a gentle touch is key.
Blow and Shake
Yep, you got it. The easiest method is to simply blow on the spot a few times. Really and truly the forced air can lift off most of the particles before they have time to set. So, lift the fabric on your sleeve and give it a good blow. You may also gently shake out the fabric. Of course, if the pollen dust happens to be on the back of your pant leg, these techniques may not be convenient (and they may get you a few funny looks).
Soft Brush
Another relatively easy option is to use a brush with soft bristles, such as a makeup wand. Gently dust off the particles with a dry brush while trying not to apply too much pressure. In between brush strokes on your clothes, clean off the brush with a dry towel, or blow on the bristles, to keep from reattaching the same particles back on your clothes.
Paper Towel
Using a dry paper towel or cloth can be effective as well for pollen dust removal. But, avoid rubbing the fabric with the towel. Instead, loosely crumple the towel with your hand, and then sweep over the fabric with light strokes. If you do not have a steady hand, however, this method could end up pushing the particles into fabric.
Pollen Stain Removal
While removal of loose pollen dust is easiest, sometimes you don't observe the bright yellow patch until it's too late for a gentle dusting. When the pollen has attached and stained your clothing, you likely will need a more aggressive approach. A few words of warning, however, before you attempt to use these methods – READ THE CARE LABEL ON YOUR CLOTHES FIRST! For fabrics with Dry Clean Only labels, consult your dry cleaners and inform them about the type of stain. Often, they apply stain specific solutions.
Rinse with Water
Try rinsing the spot with clean, cold water under a faucet for several minutes. If the pollen hasn't been rubbed into the fabric too deeply, a good rinse may be all that is required. Flat drying the fabric afterwards is best in case you miss some particles (heat drying can further set the stain).
Standard Wash
If rinsing with water alone is not enough, putting the item through a normal wash cycle may do the trick. Some flowers produce light, granular pollen, which tends to come out more easily.
After rinsing with water to remove loose particles, you may need to resort to the use of a bleaching agent. The pollen of tropical plants in particular tends to be more intensely colored 1. Dry or liquid oxygenated or non-chlorine bleaches work best for set-in stains, especially in colored fabrics. Although chlorine bleach can be effective for whitening, many fabrics will fade, white-out, or yellow with exposure to sodium hypochlorite. Some sources suggest that oxygen bleach is more effective for removal of a host of hard-to-clean stains from grass to red wine to, well, pollen dust 2. Still, you want to carefully read the manufacturer's label to ensure that your fabric can tolerate oxygen bleach and that you are using the correct amount to effectively remove stains. Often, the manufacturer's label includes recommendations of amounts for particular types of stains.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Wallabies outcast Quade Cooper has found a comfortable new home at the Melbourne Rebels, playing a major role from flyhalf in the club's unbeaten start to the Super Rugby season.
Will Genia, Cooper's former halves partner for Australia, has been equally influential in the Rebels' rise to the top of the Australian conference and to third place on the overall standings after four rounds.
Shunned by the Queensland Reds since Brad Thorn became head coach, and equally overlooked by Wallabies coach Michael Cheika, Cooper has found himself adrift within Australian rugby. He first found a welcoming shore in club rugby in Brisbane and then with the Rebels who have allowed him to flourish again as a uniquely talented playmaker.
Having proved himself anew, Cooper has been recalled to an early Wallabies training squad in what could be his first step toward selection for this year's World Cup in Japan.
Cooper rose to prominence as a flyhalf with a singular vision and set of playmaking skills, who saw matches from a different perspective from most other players. At his best he was a devastating attacker and counter-attacker when Australia valued those abilities and one whose defensive weaknesses could be masked.
But his ability to use his talent dwindled amid off-field distractions, and hostility from rival fans which shook his confidence. Thorn's decision to exile Cooper from his hometown Reds might have been the last straw, but instead seems it may have been the decision that turned around Cooper's career.
He rediscovered his love of the game by playing at its basic level — among mostly amateur club footballers — and he has returned to Super Rugby with the Rebels apparently re-energized.
Now the Wallabies are apparently interested again in harnessing his talent for the World Cup where their flyhalf options may be thin, reliant on the more conventional Bernard Foley and others like Kurtley Beale who are occasionally adapted to the role.
Genia, whose long association with Cooper makes him better-placed than most to judge, sees a player ready to return to the international play. The pair combined to steer the Queensland Reds to the Super Rugby title in 2011 and have renewed their combination in Melbourne.
"Quade has been consistent over the first three games and I'm sure he will be hoping that carries on through the season. And if he does there's no reason why he can't get an opportunity in a (Wallabies) jersey," Genia said.
Even Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has been given pause by Cooper's form this season. Cheika could never be said to be a member of the Cooper fan club; the conservative Australia coach apparently found Cooper capricious and unreliable.
But he can't dismiss the form of an experienced player in a position in which the Wallabies aren't currently strong.
"There is great opportunity for him (to interest the selectors) and just keep banging it," Cheika said. "And with that, I have no doubt he will come into strong contention for selection."
Cooper's revival highlights one of the interesting facets of Super Rugby; how a small number of players, fortuitously chosen, can change a team. The Rebels have been competitive in recent seasons but the nexus of Cooper and Genia makes them moreso.Published 11 Mar 2019, 06:47 IST

Popular comedian Kapil Sharma is expected to walk down the aisle right after his first Bollywood film releases.
The "Comedy Nights with Kapil" host will reportedly marry his longtime girlfriend Bhavneet Chatrath after his comedy caper "Bank Chor", backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF), is released.
Kapil, who turned 33 on Tuesday, has been linked with Chatrath for some time now. The duo was previously seen together in another comedy show, "Hans Baliye", on Star TV.
Though Kapil had rubbished dating reports, the actor's brother Ashok Sharma has now spilled the beans on his personal life.
"Kapil plans to get married to Bhavneeth Chatrath who resides in Jalandhar. She's also lovingly called Ginni. The two worked together in the comedy show 'Hans Baliye'. Kapil will tie the knot with his girlfriend after the release of his Bollywood debut 'Bank Chor'," Ashok told Daily Bhaskar.
The comedian has a three-film contract with YRF but it remains to be seen as to how he responds to his brother's statements, especially since he had dodged all reports linking him to Chatrath earlier.
Incidentally, the comedian was also linked to "Comedy Nights with Kapil" creative head Preeti Simoes but the rumours were played down by both parties.
Ashok further revealed that the actor had to struggle a lot on his way to the top and had worked in various professions, including that of a dance teacher in a girl's college. The comedian had initially aspired to become a singer but gradually settled to being the funny man.

Patient Positioning for MIS & Robotic Surgery
One of the most important discussions surrounding patient positioning today revolves around the area of robotic assisted laparoscopy.
The unique technology used by the surgical robot creates unintended consequences in regard to patient positioning.
- It has become obvious that any sliding at all during robotic surgery creates added patient risk of injury and unnecessary postoperative pain. This risk occurs because the robots are not programmed to change the location of the robotic arm, instruments and trocars to compensate for patient sliding.
- Fixed trocars ultimately result in what has been called "meat hook" restraint technology. When patients slide even "just a little bit" while in trendelenburg position it is the trocars that end up restraining the patient on the table.
In his paper, "Robotics in Practice: New angles on safer positioning," Dr, Ghomi directly addresses this issue stating:
"Patient slippage during the use of fixed robotic trocars creates a serious potential for patient risk as it can cause incisional tear, post- operative hernia formation, and increased postoperative pain secondary to over-stretching of the anterior abdominal wall."
If the restraint technology does not anchor the patient in place the patient can slide.
Restraints known to allow patients to slide should not be used for robotic procedures.

Moving Mindfully Through Life: 5 Ways to Help Bring Positivity to our Days
Read it here as published in The Mindful Word
As consistently as the ticking of a clock marking time, we ourselves move as the second hand of a clock through our lives. Sometimes we move more jerkily through our day, and other times we move more smoothly, like the sweeping hand of a mechanical watch.
When things are not moving smoothly, it's too easy to become frustrated and annoyed, and those feelings carry throughout the entire day. Each negative event builds on the other, and we fall into a negative space.
Obviously, letting our day be dictated by outside events is not a desirable way to live. We are tossed around by the whims of the emotions elicited by a dozen tiny (or not so tiny) things that either went right or wrong that day without pausing to address these emotions.
Being mindful to these perceived negative events allows us to process them, and consciously choose our reactions. The constant 'tick, tick, tick' of a hectic day wears on our nerves, and the more 'ticks' there are in our day, the worse we feel. These 'ticks' have a cumulative effect on us, but why do we allow them to control the flow of our day?
Acknowledge the Negatives
Take the time to consciously acknowledge the negatives. Acknowledge that things just aren't going your way, and take a moment every time something you perceive as negative happens. You keep dropping things. You make a lot of typos. You burned something you were cooking. You forgot to pack a lunch. These things happen! Accept them for what they are, ask yourself why they happened, and embrace your humanity. Were you rushing? Were you distracted? Before you pick up that toast you dropped (jam-side down, of course) ask yourself, why did it happen? Should you have slowed down, grabbed a plate, and put the toast on it instead of trying to balance two pieces in one hand while pulling your shoe on with the other?
Identify the Problems
The problem on those days where things just don't seem to be going well for you is that you are more attuned to anything negative that happens in your day. On a good day, you might get cut off in traffic just as many times as you would on bad day, but if you're already in a negative mind space, you're more likely to notice it and perceive it as yet another negative event. It gets added to your list of negatives, as though keeping tabs on everything negative in your day will somehow justify how you feel, and, in turn, justify how you react to them.
Taking Control of the Negatives
Instead of letting that fallen, sticky jam toast incident trigger a negative response, bring it out in the open. Remind yourself that these things happen. Acknowledge that you could have taken better precautions to avoid the incident, and ask yourself how you can take a more careful, mindful approach to the rest of your day. Then, when you get cut off in traffic, acknowledge that it wasn't personal, and give the driver the peace sign instead of the finger. When you are running errands, take the time to get organized before you head out. Seek out the positives in your day, and take the time to acknowledge them. Reject the negativity that tries to creep in, and try to find the humor in it. Mindfully do positive things to change your mindset – open doors for others, smile at the grumpy cashier, let someone in in traffic, crank up your favorite song on the radio and sing along. Instead of wallowing in the comfort of your self-justified frustration, you'll find yourself learning how to be more mindful and how to take control over those situations that you can, and, more importantly, your reactions to them.
Accept the Negatives You Can't Control
Sometimes, there may be factors in your day that you simply cannot control, but that's ok! Sometimes you'll have a grumpy boss or an irritable spouse or child to deal with. Sometimes you'll get bad news that will take longer for you to process. Perhaps you're living with a chronic illness and you're having a particularly bad day. At these times, take a moment and recall the Serenity Prayer – "God, Grant us the serenity to accept that which cannot be changed; the courage to change that which can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Turn Your Focus Outward
While you may think you're having the worst day of your life, there may be those having a far worse day. Look around you, and recognize that there are probably others who are struggling with far more difficult situations than you are. People in undeveloped countries with no access to clean water. People living with incurable diseases and no access to medical treatment. People living in your own city who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Realizing that there are bigger problems out there may help you recognize that your own bad day isn't so bad after all.
Being Mindful of the Good Days
On the days when things are running smoothly, we just float along, going about our day, and feeling in control and accomplished. On these days it is no less important to pass on the warm feeling it gives us in the form of smiles, letting others in in traffic, holding doors for others, and acknowledging more of what is going on in other people's lives. We notice people who may be having a rough day, and give them a smile, or wish them a good day. Find a way to cast a little sunshine onto their day. We all have good days and bad days, but imagine the difference it would make if everyone was more outwardly focused and went out of their way to brighten up each other's days.

Burlesque Gypsy Dancer
This little number is a real vintage, real French can-can doll! Now, here on this stage, she is a burlesque dancer with gypsey blood in her veins. She dances to the sound of the gypsey guitar on an opulent stage, with a feather curtain - all speaking of the promise of sensuality and decadent indulgence.
I recently bought part of a collection of vintage dolls - some are still in their original packaging and still have their labels on! This dancer's dress and stockings are too beautiful. The lace stockings are perfectly in tact and has miniature blue roses on the garters. The tiny little panties are also lined with rows and rows of frilly lace. Her arms and legs are posable and when she pulls her arms up, the dress lifts to reveal all the frou-frou underneath! I added some rhinestone to the dress and a sparkly heart shaped buckle to the velvet bow on the hat. Please look at the oh-so-very-French velvet band around her neck - the original one.
The dancer is set in this theatre shadow box, lined with paper called 'gypsy'. Lots of rhinestone, altered vintage brooches, fabric roses in the background - all it needs is the smell of heady perfume and an audience!!
My friend Lindie is arranging a Burlesque evening and the proceeds of the sale of this shadowbox theatre will go towards the charity of the evening. Full details are on the Facebook page : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=157545357637668

All proceeds go to Konsolidariteit Helpende Hand, a charity organisation that assists women and children.
This fund raiser is being organised to help one family buy a small house. They have lost everything and are currently living in a broken down caravan.
Still 100 tickets available at R200 per person.
Make it a ladies night and buy a table for yourself and nine friends!

The Brave Unicorn: Failure Is Not the End, But the Beginning
San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/07/2012 -- The Brave Unicorn is the first book that incorporates Gangnam Style in a children's book. Wong (34) incorporated what he calls pop culture into his pop art illustrations in the stories for children. From the book cover alone, The Brave Unicorn features a unicorn dressed in the Gangnam Style suit holding a lightsaber bow from Star Wars while a gigantic gummy bear tent sits in the background.
Trot's love interest Faith can be seen wearing Victoria Secret angel wings while Trot is dressed in a bright yellow banana suit from "Peanut Butter Jelly Time". You will find Trot swimming in the ocean next to popular YouTube video Dramatic Spy Chipmunk while wearing a little mermaid suit."
Wong said, "Parents love our book because the pop culture illustrations attract their kids to read stories for children. I deliver edutainment, combining education and entertainment." The Brave Unicorn is relevant since kids need to deal with failure on a constant basis from bullies to failing in academic or relationships. Stories for children now made fun with illustrations and children rhymes.
Failures shouldn't be fatal. And, they shouldn't be final. But, for Rayfil Wong's family, they sadly were. "My cousin committed suicide. He looked at failure as the end. My cousin was gone. It was so painful, so I needed to write a stories for children to inspire them that failure is not the ending, but the beginning."
Great characters, great story, great read, great fun! – Matt Fleming, managing editor and books editor-Time Out Hong Kong. The Brave Unicorn will be released on Amazon, iphone, ipad, and other major platforms early December 2012.

Top 5 Best Walking or Hiking Shoes for Men
If you're looking for the best men's walking or hiking shoes, you must consider two important things that a pair of shoes need to have in order to become useful and worth your money: comfort and performance. Shoes need to be sturdy to keep up with your active lifestyle and they need to be comfortable so you won't have to worry about tired, smelly, and blistered feet. Here are some recommendations that you can consider in your search for the best men's walking or hiking shoes.
Merrell Moab Ventilator
This pair of shoes offers highly evolved breathability that keeps your feet fresh and relaxed even while you're on a hiking or biking trip. This features is provided by its breathable ventilator mesh and durable leather upper. Its heel counter and toe bumper are made of durable rubber, providing protection for your feet. Not only does it provide breathability to your feet, it also protects your feet from smelling with the use of a mesh lining with a treatment of antimicrobial technology. With its specially designed footbed and footframe, you are assured of a comfortable fit that minimizes foot fatigue and friction that causes blisters. The Merrell Moab Ventilator is a pair of shoes that concentrates on giving you the most comfortable shoe experience even while you're hiking or biking all day.
Asolo Powermatic 200 GV
These midweight boots are designed to help you traverse rugged terrain while carrying heavy loads that can go up to 80 pounds. It is made of leather, offering stiff support and excellent traction, not to mention waterproofing. It may take a while for them to become comfortable, but the break-in time is only minimal. You can get a comfortable hiking experience from it in no time. It is also quite heavy, which is a fair trade-off being an extremely sturdy pair of boots. For backpacking trips carrying lots of load, the Asolo Powermatic 200 GV gets the job done with minimal effort to make it more comfortable.
Keen Voyageur
The Keen Voyageur is a pair of hiking shoes that is recommended for hiking during hot weather. Its well ventilated and lightweight design makes sure that even though it is extremely hot outside, you can still get a fresh and comfortable hiking experience. The Keen Voyageur may not be waterproof, but if it does get wet, it is designed to drain water quickly and efficiently, drying fast and keeping you comfortable. Being a lightweight pair of shoes, it does have the unfortunate tendency to succumb to wear-and-tear quicker than heavier hiking shoes. But if you are looking for a lightweight and well ventilated pair of hiking shoes that you will not use regularly, the Keen Voyageur will be an excellent choice.
Keen Targhee II
As a midweight hiking shoe, the Keen Targhee II offers a nice balance between comfort and performance. It is very flexible and lightweight, perfect if you want to be quick on your feet and if you are not carrying heavy loads during hiking trips. It is waterproof thanks to a special lining, although it can become a little too warm during hot weather. This isn't a big deal, though, because it provides excellent ventilation that gets rid of unwanted heat when it becomes too warm.
Mephisto Match
This walking shoe offers a full fitting that is anatomically correct, giving users full support on their heels and foot arches as they walk. Its design allows full ventilation throughout the foot every time the user takes a step, all thanks to its air jet system technology.

Magnet Priorities
The purpose of the magnet schools program is to reduce high concentrations of poverty in schools; promote school integration; maximize use of school facilities and provide innovative educational opportunities. Therefore, we consider two key factors in considering magnet applications:
- Projected overall socioeconomic status of the school to which that student is assigned for next year.
- Socioeconomic status of the area where the applying student resides.
To find where you will be placed on the priority list, start by looking up both the projected overall socioeconomic status of the school to which are assigned for next school year and the socioeconomic status of your area. Write down the status for both.
Updated priorities
The socioeconomic status of where you live and your assigned school will determine your place on the priority list.

Grow with Quora
Episode 1
This is the first episode of Grow with Quora and it's off to a good start. It's fairly straight forward in terms of what Quora is and what you can do with it. But the purpose of these blog posts is to summarize the overall message(s). Therefore, I shall ramble no further.
Interviewer: JD Prater
Interviewee: Joe Martinez
We got through a few personals and how Joe used Quora to find out how to open a jammed guitar case lock. This was his first question. He then used it to find a pancake recipe as well as basic DIY guidance.
But in terms of marketing and growing your Quora plausibilty, the meaty takeaway from the episode is:
Be personal
Answer from your personal account. It says: "I'm not here to sell you anything, just to help." And we all know that that help will come full circle, one way or another and help you.
When you answer, don't be disheartened by a lack of likes. "There's a lot more people reading it than you think."
JD asked Joe: "What is the ONE thing marketers can do today to be successful on Quora tomorrow?"
Joe replied (I summarise)
Look at your target audience and separate it out by the user intent. What are the needs of the asker?
For example, if you're doing keyword targeting, look at those keywords and look at what possible questions could show up for these keywords.
Or better said, embrace WHO your user is and change your message to speak to that user.
the last statement certainly ties in with the overall message. Be personal. Bring YOU to HIM or HER.
That some up our Grow With Quora takeaway. And Joe seems like a really cool guy. (So does JD actually, but he's the main man here anyway.

I went out with my friend Eliot last Saturday morning to see what spring birds we might find. It was a good day to bird: I added 17 birds to my year list!
The highlight of the day was a Golden Eagle. I have had only one really good look at a Golden Eagle before, so I was thrilled to see another. At first we thought it was a Turkey Vulture (Minnesota's most common huge bird of prey), but we were both wait, wait, something isn't right. Eagle? But not a Bald Eagle (which are happily fairly common here). OMG a Golden Eagle! Yes! This in and of itself made the day. But, as mentioned we saw lots of other birds too.
Many were water birds, especially ducks. Northern Pintail (very fun—not a bird I see every year), Bufflehead, Common Merganser, Ring-Necked Duck, Redhead, Green-Winged Teal, and Lesser Scaup; also Pied-Billed Grebe, Trumpeter Swan, American Coot, and Cackling Goose.
I saw my first Eastern Bluebird of the year—always a happy sign. Also a Tree Swallow, Song Sparrow, and Northern Flicker.
And just before we called it quits, at our last stop of the day, we saw a Great Horned Owl. I don't see these very often either, so I felt doubly gifted.
It wasn't until the end of our birding, at this last stop, that I finally saw a Great Blue Heron. I love these huge and beautiful birds, fairly common in Minnesota, but no less stately for that. I reverberate with joy.
I need Auden to help me with the words here. This sense you get in nature where you just beat with the world. I'm not sure it's reverence, but it's close to reverence. And then there's awe. Awe definitely comes into play.
But after awe there's breakfast. The excellent day continues.

The 15 Best Healthy Fall Weeknight Dinners
With cooler temperatures and cozy nights, we are all craving comfort foods. The 15 Best Healthy Fall Weeknight Dinners are easy, healthy seasonal weeknight dinner recipes!
The temperatures are getting cooler. Okay, some days are cooler and some days are still blazing hot but fall is coming. Are you excited for fall or hanging on to every last drop of summer? I love summer. I really do. But, fall is my favorite season. The clothes are better. You get to wear boots and layers—and not sweat to death walking down the street.
Maybe it goes back to the beginning of a new school year but fall is a time to start fresh. I actually set more goals (and achieve them) in autumn than I do in January. I make lists of things to do. And, I feel like I'm actually busier in fall than I am in summer. Plus, it has the best holidays. My favorite holiday is Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving. So. Much. Fun.
Okay, okay, I'll stop writing my love letter to autumn….
Summer produce can't be beaten. It's so delicious and full of flavor. But, I'm all about the comfort food after Labor Day. Fall produce is so delicious and filling. It's all about the winter squash. I also try to keep it healthier during most of my meals to balance out the fall baking. Life is all about balance, right?
So, we put together the 15 Best Healthy Fall Weeknight Dinners. There are salads, soups, pasta, chicken, veggies and lots and lots of quinoa. If fall has an official pasta, it's quinoa. Head over to your local grocer and get you some bulk quinoa. You are going to need it!
On another note, have you seen these photographs? They are crazy gorgeous. So rich and beautiful just like the food in the photos. So much talent here. All of these recipes look so delicious and are going to keep me healthy all fall season long.
Here are the 15 Best Healthy Fall Weeknight Dinners:

One Down And One Up In Western Canada
Thursday, November 27, 2008
The Kings played Calgary on Wednesday and basically got their tails handed to them, but the game didn't start out that way. The first period made it seem like it was going to be a good contest. The shots were even and the goalies were looking pretty solid. But once the second period started the Flames got stronger and stronger. Even though the Kings lost a terrible 6-2, it definitely didn't look like one of those horrendous losses from last season where it seemed like they stopped trying altogether. The Flames just dominated a team that was struggling in all aspects of the game. The effort was visible, but nothing was working so I'm not going to jump down their throats. I'm not suggesting the Kings needed a loss of that sort since they've lost worse in past seasons. It was just another sign that this is a team that is still learning and feeling out the lines.
The one thing from this game that had and still has me a bit worried is the fact that Erik Ersberg was pulled and Jason LaBarbera was put in. Barbs then played last night against the Edmonton Oilers. Does this mean that Barbs will play until he has to get pulled? Is that how this is going to work? I guess that's fine... I'm not sure how I completely feel about it, but I can honestly say that I'm not feeling too confident about the back end anymore. Denis Gauthier did NOT have a good game against the Flames, and I'm wondering why Terry Murray is so happy with him. Yeah, he can kill penalties, but, really, he's made some horrible plays in general. He's definitely outside the circle of trust.
(AP Photo, The Canadian Press, Jeff McIntosh)
The bright spot: Sean O'Donnell. I'm so freaking happy he's on the blueline. He got a 5-minute fighting major, a 10-minute misconduct penalty, and a 2-minute instigator penalty. The game was already in the bag for the Flames but O'Donnell wasn't going to take shit from anyone, and he let the Flames know that. Talk about mentorship and leadership. On the flipside, Raitis Ivanans got 10 minutes of TOI and did nothing but take penalties. Let's think about this: last season when he'd get more than two penalties or so, he'd get less than 5 minutes of TOI. But in this game he got 4 penalties (8 total minutes) and 10 minutes of ice time. Was Terry Murray hoping Ivanans was turn the momentum of the game? Well, it didn't work.
One last thing about this game versus Calgary. I was watching the Calgary feed, which was on Rogers Sportsnet. Wow, whoever the play-by-play guy and color guy were, you guys were terrible! I'm so glad I don't have to listen to that for 82 games. Their "commentary" was piss poor and didn't enhance the viewing of the game at all. What they were saying wasn't biased in favor of the Flames; rather, it was terrible because they weren't saying anything of worth! "That was a great pass." Wow... is that all you got? Really?
The game on Thursday the Kings went against the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings bounced back very nicely and won 2-1. They returned to their disciplined play out-hitting and out-shooting the opposition, but they weren't over 50% in the faceoff circle. I'm blaming this on Derek Armstrong (4 for 11) and Kopi (8 for 18) combined with Michal Handzus playing on the wing. Jarret Stoll, you keep doing what you're doing. The Kings also took only 5 penalties in this game compared to 15 against Calgary. Were the interference calls against Brownie and Barbs really penalties? I don't know, but I'm not going to dwell on it. The penalties were taken and killed; end of story.
I WILL bitch about the boarding penalty that Steve Staios took against Sully. Dude is mere feet from the boards and you're gonna give him a shove in the back towards the boards? C'mon man, can you be a bit more mindful of the head of another player? Sure, Sully may have whiplash this morning, but can you not try to give him a concussion to go with it? Another change was that Tom Preissing was back in the lineup and Gauthier took a seat in the press box. I honestly thought Preissing wasn't going to make the mistakes that he did. They weren't as terrible as the ones Gauts has been taking, but still...
A rarity: the Kings scoring first! And wouldn't you know it, it was Sully who netted it and, amazingly enough, he showed emotion!!! If you haven't noticed it before, Sully usually scores and has a deadpan look on his face. No reaction whatsoever. But this was such a change that I even cheered more! Who knew he possessed the ability to have more than just a vacant look on his face?!
Who know who's awesome? Dustin Brown. He's just freaking fantastic and I heart him. I know I heart a lot of things, but I REALLY heart him. He's just such a great leader and is getting noticed more and more and more. He can honestly do no wrong. He's a dynamically solid player who is doing nothing but getting better.
The second half of the game didn't see anymore goals, but it was a solid game for the Kings. I'm not sure how happy Moose was though. I think the text saying "We are an AWFUL hockey team" means that the Oilers are struggling. I'm not sure, but I think that's what it meant. In any case, the Kings got back on their ponies with this game and have a break until they face the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday at the beautiful Staples Center.

Supreme Court: Police May Not Prolong Traffic Stop to Conduct Dog Sniff Without Reasonable Suspicion. In Rodriguez v United States (No. 13-9972 [4/21/2015]), a Nebraska K-9 officer pulled over Rodriguez for veering onto a highway shoulder. After checking Rodriguez's license, registration, and insurance and issuing a warning for the traffic offense, the officer requested permission to walk his drug-sniffing dog around the vehicle. Rodriguez refused. The officer then instructed Rodriguez to turn off the ignition and wait outside the vehicle for another officer to arrive. With a second officer at the scene, the K-9 officer led the dog twice around the vehicle and the dog alerted. A subsequent search revealed a large bag of methamphetamine. Approximately seven or eight minutes elapsed between the warning for the traffic offense and the dog's alert. Rodriguez unsuccessfully challenged the search and pleaded guilty while reserving his right to appeal. The Supreme Court held that absent reasonable suspicion the police may not prolong a routine traffic stop for the purpose of a dog sniff of the vehicle.
Beyond determining whether to issue a traffic ticket, an officer's mission includes "ordinary inquiries incident to [the traffic] stop." Typically, such inquiries involve checking the driver's license, determining whether there are outstanding warrants against the driver, and inspecting the automobile's registration and proof of insurance. ... A dog sniff, by contrast, is a measure aimed at "detect[ing] evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing." ... Lacking the same close connection to roadway safety as the ordinary inquiries, a dog sniff is not fairly characterized as part of the officer's traffic mission." (citations omitted).
The Court remanded the case to the 8th Circuit for a determination of whether the dog sniff was independently supported by reasonable suspicion.

OCA Proposes Creating a Search Warrant Database. The Office of Court Administration (OCA) issued a memorandum on Apr. 15, 2015 proposing a new search warrant database. The new database would be a secure statewide database for recording limited search warrant information. The information would be entered into the database by court clerks. "In order to apply for a warrant, the applicant would be required to complete a brief one-page 'Search Warrant Worksheet' that collects basic information about the filing, i.e., the judge, contact information for the applicant and whether the warrant is public or confidential (Exh. A)." According to the memo, the form would not require "any confidential information as to the subject of the warrant and all supporting documents will remain confidential until the court directs otherwise." For a copy of OCA's memorandum with the proposed Search Warrant Worksheet, click here.
Comments to this proposal are welcome and can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or John W. McConnell, Esq., Counsel, Office of Court Administration, 25 Beaver Street, 11th Fl., New York, NY 10004. Comments must be received no later than June 15, 2015. Defenders who submit comments are encouraged to send a copy to the Backup Center.
Hair Comparison = Bogus Scientific Information. Earlier this month The Washington Post reported that "[t]he Justice Department and FBI have formally acknowledged that nearly every examiner in [the FBI Laboratory's microscopic hair comparison unit] gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000." According to the article, 200 convictions have been reviewed with the assistance of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Innocence Project, two organizations assisting the government with the post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence. "The FBI is waiting to complete all reviews to assess causes but has acknowledged that hair examiners until 2012 lacked written standards defining scientifically appropriate and erroneous ways to explain results in court. The bureau expects this year to complete similar standards for testimony and lab reports for 19 forensic disciplines."
The Daily News reported that "[d]efendants and federal and state prosecutors in 46 states and the District of Columbia are being notified to determine whether there are grounds for appeals ...." As noted in The Washington Post article, New York, North Carolina, and Texas authorities are reviewing their hair examiner cases and ad hoc efforts are underway in about 15 other states. An update on New York's review was provided by Brian Gestring, Director, Office of Forensic Services, Division of Criminal Justice Services, at the April 15 Commission on Forensic Science meeting (video- discussion starts at 8:24; meeting document - pp. 3-5). A state-by-state chart of flawed forensic hair testimony from the FBI lab is available here.
State Police Lab Analysts Off State Payroll. Termination notices were issued for two forensic scientists, and ten analysts remained on restricted duty, as the result of an alleged cheating scandal that arose months ago at the State Police Laboratory, the Albany Times Union has reported. The State Police validation study of TrueAllele, which is connected to the scandal, was discussed at the April 15 Forensic Science Commission meeting, but a motion by Commission member Barry Scheck to have the DNA Subcommittee reexamine the validation according to new draft SWGDAM (Scientific Working Group for DNA Analysis Methods) Guidelines for Validation of Probabilistic Genotyping did not pass (video- starting at 86:20).
The Times Union story is the latest development in the TrueAllele saga noted in the Jan. 30, 2015 edition of News Picks, reporting on a Schenectady County case in which the validation study for the computer DNA analysis program was challenged based on two allegations: one, that lab staff had cheated on a qualification test for implementing the analysis and two, questions about the analysis itself. The opinion in People v Wakefield (2015 Slip Op 25037 [Supreme Ct, Schenectady Co 2/9/2015]) found that Cybergenetics TrueAllele Casework met the Frye standard, which is concerned not with "the reliability of an expert's conclusions, but instead with whether the expert's deductions are based on principles that have gained general acceptance as reliable...." Though such challenges are critical, defense lawyers confronting evidence derived by use of TrueAllele will find it harder to successfully challenge introduction of such evidence despite continuing questions, a situation that is all too common with regard to forensic claims.
E-ZPass Recording - Not Just for Toll Booths Anymore. The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) has made available records, obtained through Freedom of Information Law requests, showing that transportation agencies have installed E-ZPass readers far from toll plazas. Intended to assist in traffic studies, the monitors are said to work differently from the toll-location readers, electronically scrambling identifying information. But, the NYCLU noted, the readers "can easily become part of an infrastructure for expanded surveillance" and, the NYCLU lamented, privacy policies produced by the New York State Department of Transportation and Thruway Authority "are vague and barebones." So while it appears law enforcement can't track suspects or anyone with the non-toll readers today, defense lawyers and those concerned about privacy in general may want to watch for future developments. A webpage with a link to more detailed information on E-ZPass readers also includes a link to information on StingRay data as reported in the prior edition of News Picks. The page also says that information on Automatic License Plate Readers will be posted soon.
Second Department Modifies Disposition of Termination of Parental Rights for Incarcerated Father. The Family Court "improvidently exercised its discretion in terminating the father's parental rights" where the father, although incarcerated, made "sufficient progress toward strengthening his relationship with the subject children" and "there is no indication that termination of the father's parental rights would increase the subject children's opportunities for adoptive placement ...." Matter of Javon J., 2015 NY Slip Op 03363 (2nd Dept 4/22/2015).
While the facts at trial supported a finding that the father had permanently neglected his children and that the Orange County Department of Social Services had "made diligent efforts to assist the father in maintaining contact with the children and planning for their future," both pre-incarceration and during his confinement, the trial court improperly exercised its discretion in freeing the children for adoption when the record did not support a possible adoptive placement for either of the children. One child resided at a treatment facility and the other, while placed with a family, did not have the option of adoption with those foster parents.

Closure Disclaimer:
I was sent a "closure" email recently and I've contemplated responding to it but haven't. That being said, I do need to have my say. To be able to get these words out. Somewhere. So, like all things, I turned to my little web-corner and I've decided to have my say here. These are my words. My feelings. My thoughts and my opinions. If you don't want to hear it or read it, please close your browser now.
Dear So-and-So,
I recevied your "closure" email but quite frankly, I don't care if you have "closure" or not. So the next time you feel inspired to write a piece of hate mail, leave me out of it. I am tired of hearing the same old hashed-out insults and complaints. I wanted to reply but, as you will soon find out, I have nothing nice to say to you. That being said, I do need some closure for my own self so that I finally start the healing of this hurt.
Everytime I start to think about what to write, I get so exasperated I can barely think. Your behaviour and attitude is beyond comprehension. Your words are contradictory, your behaviour is erradic and overall this whole situation is nonsensical.
Let me start by saying I am furious with you and the things said below come from a place of bitterness, disappointment, and embarassment. I am downright incensed with the person you've grown into and the behaviour you've demonstrated and I need to get this out. I always thought you were better than any of this but I was so wrong. You are fake. You are a liar. You are entitled. You are destructive and you are hurtful. You spew hate and hurt toward this family yet you act as if you are the "hurt" one. Stop playing the victim and start owning up to your own behaviour. You haven't grown, you haven't changed, you haven't done one goddamn thing you preach about yet you expect praise because you're going to school? Let me tell you girl, it's going to take a helluva lot more than a college diploma before I believe one ounce of breath that leaves your body.
In your email, you thanked me for being a parent to you when neither of your bio-parents were able. You know, it may have meant something to me if you hadn't spent the rest of your time bashing my character. I'm not sure who you think you are but until you are faced with having to make the same decisions, you are unqualified to judge my actions and my decisions. Being your parent was hellish at times. I spent more hours crying about, worrying over, and double guessing my decisions than any one person should have. I spent my early 20's dealing with your shitty attitude and behaviour and oh look, now spending my early 30's doing exactly the same thing.
Your words, your behaviour, your actions have caused me more hurt in my life than anything else. That's because they used to mean something to me. Your opinion of me, meant something. That's starting to change. See, all those years I'd find little notes about you wishing your Dad would leave me, all those years where you felt it necessary to impart your opinion on our relationship, all the times you've yelled, screamed, pitched fits about how crappy your life was are taking their toll.
You've always made your opinion of your Dad's and my relationship known and that obviously isn't about to change. My response to that is "Butt Out". It is none of your business. My relationship with your Dad is between us. Keep it to yourself. In my opinion, you would be lucky to find someone as kind, caring, loving and considerate as your Dad.
Another one of your many complaints is that your Dad chose me over you but you've failed to explain exactly how he's done that. It's time to lay that to rest. It's obvious your Dad loves you. It's obvious he's been there for you, there were times when he could have been there more but overall, I'd say he's been pretty involved in your life. I challenge you to do the math of how many years you've lived with your Dad, spent weekends with your Dad and then talk to me about how he was never there or chose someone else. Until you can come up with compelling facts, backed up by people other than just your Mother's Camp, your complaints fall on deaf ears.
The thing that has bothered me the most in all of this is how you are constantly slinging mud at your Dad. You know, if he ever said the things to you that you've been saying to him, you would go on the war path like no one has ever seen. It would serve to validate every little real or imagined injustice you have felt through your life. You would use it against him for all time and show every person how awful and mean your Dad is. You know, people are in your life for a short period of time and one day, you will miss your Dad. One day, you may regret the things you've said to him. One day, your Dad will be gone and I sincerely hope that regret weighs heavy in your heart and on your soul.
I am constantly amazed at how you expect others to accept you, believe in you and look past your mistakes but you aren't willing to give the same consideration to other people. We've apologized for our parenting mistakes time and time again but that's simply not good enough for you. I have a news flash for you – we are people too.
The bitter-hearted part of me sometimes wishes I could go back and take back every birthday party, every special holiday, every hug, every inside joke, every new anything and the shopping splurges, every time I did put you before my own children, every time I referenced you as my own daughter, every Saturday morning family cuddle, take the flower that represents you off of my body, basically take back every little piece of me I've ever given you. That is pure anger talking and it's going to take time for me to work through that.
Beyond the bitterness and anger, beyond the hurt and brokenheart, this has made me stronger. In the past, I would have bottled everything up inside. The end result of that being an explosive response when I just couldn't take anymore. Now, I'm reaching out to people in my life and it's a really good feeling. I have kind, considerate folks who are willing to listen to me. They help me talk through the hurt and the pain and support me in my growth. It gives me renewed strength and energy to face the next time you enter my life. It is a great feeling and I'm happy that I'm able to establish stronger relationships and really value them as they should be. Our family is more honest and supportive of one another. We are stronger because of this and are re-evaluating relationships we may have otherwise overlooked.
Over the years we have included you in every family gathering, every family function, worked so hard to make you feel important, to make you feel loved and valued and at the end of the day, it was all superficial. We never meant anything to you. You keep saying "we aren't your real family" over and over and for the longest time I didn't want to believe it but that's probably the only truthful thing you've said.
We aren't your real family. To you, we never were. It sucks for all of us because to us, it was very real.

Sri Lanka to Play for Pride against England in Final Test
New Delhi, Monday, June 6 – Sri Lanka tour of England did not start in a way they wished before landing in the overseas. They missed the chance of bouncing back in the game with a bang in the second Test after losing the first one by an innings and 88 runs. Post being thrashed in a match at the hands of England at Headingley in Leeds, Sri Lanka looked keen to do well at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. The second Test against England was an opportunity for them to level series and mark a comeback.
But that did not happen as English cricketers performed excellently during first few hours of the play totaling 498 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. James Anderson, Alastair Cook, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, Jonny Bairstow, Nick Compton, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Alex Hales, Joe Root and Jake Ball were parts of Playing XI. Sri Lankan team had Rangana Herath, Dilruwan Perera, Angelo Mathews, Suranga Lakmal, Kaushal Silva, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh Chandimal, Nuwan Pradeep, Shaminda Eranga, Dhananjaya de Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Milinda Siriwardana, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Perera, Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Mendis and Chaminda Bandara.
Sri Lanka first innings came to an end on 101 runs. They tried to put best foot forward in the second innings and scored 475 runs, which weren't enough to save them from not heading towards another defeat. The remaining runs required for another win were scored by England. When the host was at 80 runs for the loss of one wicket, game was over for the travelers, who are to play for pride against England in the third and final Test, which is to take place at Lord's in London from June 9. Weather and pitch conditions are supposed to help players of the home side. But Sri Lanka can think of finishing Test series with a win if they pay focus to the match without getting worried about any other aspect.
Pitch plays a significant role in the team's success but that does not mean that if that isn't favorable, a Playing XI can't think of emerging as a victor. If Sri Lanka would be able to take wickets quickly and compel the challengers to take a backseat in the first few overs of the match then ending series 1-2 is possible. The squad bowling first needs to understand that a lot of room can't be given to the batsman who put a grand total on the scoreboard, feeling no pressure of the balls bowled in a different line and length. Captain of Sri Lanka must be wishing to lead his team from front. Game plan, strategies and dedicated efforts make the task to attain victory at the end of the day a little bit easy.
To boost confidence of the teammates, the captain needs to make everyone remember their strengths and be aware about their weakness as well. Hopes are high from both young and experienced cricketers who can do well in the last Test matches of Sri Lanka tour of England. The host, on the other hand, eyes a whitewash. They can think of it thanks to good form of some players. Job on the shoulders of openers, tail-ender batsman and middle order bowlers and all-rounders is going to be enormous. It will be interesting to notice whether it will be England to pull off in the last part or Sri Lanka who taste success what they have been looking forward to since the beginning of the series.

Should You Consider Assisted Living South of the Border?
Americans and Canadians alike have vacationed in and retired to Mexico for many decades, but in recent years, our neighbor to the south has also become a destination for seniors in search of assisted living communities.
Assisted Living South of the Border
Seniors in Mexico have traditionally been cared for at home by family members, but, like their counterparts to the north, they're living longer, and eventually require the same amenities and services as that in an assisted living setting.
The influx of expatriate retirees has expanded options for them as well.
Why Mexico?
- Close to home. There are more than 100 national and international airports in Mexico. The busiest by far is Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City, but many other airports have non-stop flights to destinations in Canada and the U.S. Costs associated with travel are more than outweighed by the overall cost-of-living savings and, let's face it, adult children and their parents often live hundreds or thousands of miles apart, anyway.
- Excellent healthcare. Medical professionals are as well-trained as their counterparts, and healthcare facilities are modern and top notch. Care workers in assisted living communities are paid a good living wage and valued as professionals in their field. A reverence for older people and the tradition of caring for parents and grandparents in the home seems to translate to compassionate caregivers who treat patients and clients as warmly as they do their own family.
- U.S. citizens have been traveling to Mexico for affordable health care for decades, seeking everything from elective procedures to life-saving surgery. Prescriptions and dental and medical care cost a fraction of what they do in the U.S. – dentistry in the States is especially costly for seniors, who aren't provided coverage through Medicare and can't always afford skyrocketing dental insurance premiums.
- Hospitality. "We are used to having people from all over the world living in and visiting our country," says Dileri Montalvo Berumen, a spokesperson for Belmont Village, a U.S.-based senior living community which recently opened its first assisted living community in Mexico City. "We love to make them feel at home."
- Lower cost of living. The most obvious benefit is financial, particularly as people live longer. For those on a fixed income, the fact that total costs amount to approximately one-third of equivalent care in the U.S. can be irresistible.
- Temperate climate. Mexico's warmer temperatures appeal to northerners who have had it up to their eyeballs with frigid temperatures and snow drifts.
What About…
- Altitude? A wide range of assisted living, independent and retirement communities are located in the Tierra Templada, or "temperate lands," which range from around 2,500 feet to 7,500 hundred feet in elevation. (Mexico City rests at about 7,400 feet.) While seniors with pulmonary concerns should consult a physician before transitioning to a high altitude, most are likely to acclimate within a few days.
- Health insurance? With only a few exceptions, Medicare is not valid outside the U.S.: for seniors who live in Mexico but maintain Medicare insurance, any major procedures or medical emergencies would require travel back over the border or private insurance.
- Personal safety? People who have never visited Mexico may harbor an outdated perception of the world's tenth largest country by population. Mexico boasts a stable economy, sound infrastructure and a growing roster of foreign investors. Seniors in assisted living communities will likely feel as secure and protected as they do in a comparable facility in the U.S.
- The language barrier? While knowing Spanish is helpful, it's not necessary, particularly in established life plan communities that employ bilingual, highly skilled staff.
Where Should I Start Looking?
Numerous cities and towns already have highly regarded senior communities that encompass everything from independent living to memory care, but more facilities are being developed to address the growing need.
Areas with thriving, well-established expat communities include:
- Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
- Baja California
- Campeche
- Cuernavaca
- Guanajuato
- Merida
- Morelia and Patzcuaro
- Puerto Vallarta
- Queretaro
- San Miguel de Allende
- Tepoztlan
Belmont Village, which recently opened Belmont Village Santa Fe in Mexico City, has plans to open four more senior living communities in Mexico in the next years.
"Senior living may be a new industry in our country, but we've implemented all the same programs and processes that have been established during the company's 20 years of operation in the United States, which means we offer top-of-the-line care," says Montalvo.
In addition to the staff at Belmont Village Santa Fe, which includes a doctor and registered nurses on-site 24 hours a day, all caregivers are trained, technical nurses. The location is also hard to beat. "We are connected by a walking bridge to Centro Medico ABC, the best private medical center in the country, and have an agreement with them to attend to all our emergencies in less than five minutes," Montalvo says.
Ways to Retire in Mexico
For retirees who are considering aging in place in Mexico, the Mexperience website offers a wealth of practical information to guide seniors through the process of making of relocation. Many people move to Mexico because doing so enables them to retire early.
One of the most popular programs available to all senior citizens who live in Mexico is the INAPAM (Instituto Nacional para las Personas Adultas Mayores) discount card, which offers those aged 60 and above savings ranging from 10-50% on certain services, activities and goods, including reduced prices on medications that are already much more affordable than in the U.S.
Moving to another country late in life is a big step for seniors, but one that is growing more commonplace with each passing year. If you or a loved one are considering Mexican residency, it's not too early to start investigating the options and maybe brush up on your high school Spanish while you're at it.

Exxon, Chevron Earnings on Deck Friday Morning
Before markets open Friday, the two energy producers among the 30 Dow Jones industrial stocks will be reporting first-quarter results. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE: COP) are both expected to show higher revenues and profits, largely as a result of higher commodity prices. But there are other issues at play as well.
Exxon is expected to report earnings per share (EPS) $1.13 and revenues of $63.6 billion, compared to EPS of $0.95 and of $63.29 billion in the same quarter of last year. On Wednesday Exxon boosted its dividend by 6.5% to $0.82 per share, and that gave the share price a shot in the arm that continued through to Thursday's session.
Analysts expect Chevron to report first-quarter EPS of $1.49 on revenues $40.7 billion, compared to year-ago EPS of $1.23 and revenues of $33.42 billion. Chevron's annual dividend of $4.48 remains more than a third higher than Exxon's new dividend payment. Exxon may never catch up, but it won't be for lack of trying.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, Exxon's price realization for liquids rose by $10 a barrel year over year and, excluding a tax benefit and impairment charges, profits rose by $1 billion to $2.5 billion, even though production slipped by 130,000 barrels a day. Both those numbers should improve in the first quarter.
Chevron's U.S. price realizations rose by $10 a barrel in the fourth quarter but U.S. production slid by 11,000 barrels a day. Globally production rose by 7,000 barrels a day.
In both companies' downstream businesses (refining and marketing), it's reasonable to expect lower profits because of rising crude prices. Refinery throughput was high in the United States through most of the first quarter and a lot of the refined product was put onto tankers and shipped to foreign buyers. Refined product shipments hit a record high last week, and the trend for more overseas sales likely will continue because pricing is stronger for exported barrels priced against the Brent benchmark.
In the late morning Thursday, Exxon stock traded up 0.7% to $80.08, in a 52-week range of $72.16 to $89.30. The 12-month price target on the stock is $85.95.
Chevron shares traded at $123.61, also up about 0.7%, in a 52-week range of $102.55 to $133.88. The consensus price target is $135.88.
