Debates about guns are rampant right now. The reason is not because of a mass shooting, it's because our attention focus. In another couple weeks, there will still be a few voices speaking out against guns, but not as many. There are many events happening daily which are not covered by media so we don't focus our attention on them.
Since Guns are the focus, I'd like to compare and contrast Guns and Gun Violence against other life altering, like taking elements. Today, it's alcohol, there will be others, but today, it's alcohol.
Please note, I am in no way against alcohol, as always, the purpose of this information is to make you stop and think. Reason through the facts and information. Be free to develop your own opinions based on truths not persuasion. Basically, my goal is to make you go "hmmmm" at the end, nothing more.
Let's start with straight number comparisons (Firearm source, Alcohol source.
Surprised by those numbers? The only information I could find relating to Alcohol was an AVERAGE of 2006-2010. Since then, there have been many articles stating alcohol abuse has increased in US. The total Alcohol deaths on the chart for Average in 2006-2010 was 88,129. A document from 2014 states was 2,626,418. So if we could locate a similar breakdown for years after 2010, the alcohol bar would most likely be much higher.
There were an average of 98 deaths per year where firearms and alcohol are both involved. The data for Firearms is from 2016. Because this is all about truth, let's look at another picture:
Surprised again? So was I.
Someone asked and it made me curious, how did alcohol regulations affect alcohol related deaths. Interestingly, there hasn't been much regulations in regard to alcohol. But here is the chart with both Alcohol and Firearm related numbers and laws. Keep in mind, the alcohol numbers do not include accidental deaths. In the first chart, these are represented by the Red Bar, which is about 131 per day. If those were included, the blue line would most likely be just under double what it is right now. This means it would have surpassed the firearm number in about 1994 or so.
Here are some quotes I found as well:
Although laws have been established throughout the country to prevent drunk driving and reduce the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities, drunk drivers remain one of the biggest threats to public safety. Source
The leading causes of death in 2000 were tobacco (435000 deaths; 18.1%
of total US deaths), poor diet and physical inactivity (400000 deaths; 16.6%), and
alcohol consumption (85000 deaths; 3.5%). Other actual causes of death were microbial agents (75000), toxic agents (55000), motor vehicle crashes (43000), incidents involving firearms (29000), sexual behaviors (20000), and illicit use of drugs (17000). Source
According to the report issued by the Commission on Substance Abuse at Colleges and Universities, 95 percent of violent crimes and 53 percent of injuries on campus are alcohol related. In 90 percent of all campus rapes,the assailant, the victim, or both had been drinking. Sixty percent of college women who acquire sexually transmitted diseases, including herpes and AIDS, report that they were drunk at the time they were infected. Source
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that, in 2001, alcohol was involved in 41 percent of all fatal crashes (over 17,000 fatalities). NHTS A also estimates that three out of ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash sometime during their lives. Alcohol is the most widely used drug among teenagers and is linked to juvenile crime, health problems, suicide, date rape, and unwanted pregnancy. Alcohol-related
traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds. Source
Well, I hope this at least made you go hmmm.

Although WVU's Acceptable Use of Data and Technology Resources policy does allow incidental personal use of University-owned computers, if it doesn't interfere with work, users should not expect privacy or confidentiality for such activities.
To protect yourself from cyber-theft, refer to these tips:
- Shop only on secure websites. Before entering your credit card information on a web form, look for the green lock icon and https:// in the web address. The "s" means the site is secure.
- Use safe payment options. Use a dedicated card for all online purchases. Credit cards are generally the safest payment option and offer protections that debit cards don't. NEVER give your credit card information to anyone via email or save to your computer's hard drive.
- Provide the bare minimum. If a website is requiring personal information that isn't necessary to process payment, like your Social Security number or mother's maiden name, don't submit your order.
- Use only secure Wi-Fi. Logging into email and banking accounts on unsecure, free public wireless networks puts your information at risk of being stolen.
- When in doubt, don't click. Be skeptical with suspicious-looking emails, even those claiming to come from a well-known company or shipping service. Phishing scams aimed at stealing your information are often cleverly designed. When in doubt, don't click on any links and forward suspicious emails as an attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Be wary of phone scams. Phone scammers may call claiming to be your bank or a shipping company. NEVER give your Social Security number, account passwords or payment information via email or over phone. If you want to check on your account or order, call the number listed on a company's official website.

A group of eight cyclists will be riding 600 miles from Poole to Jersey to raise money for a friend and the charity that supports him after a life-changing accident left him paralysed from the chest down.
Despite admitting they are not "natural cyclists", Joe Burkmar, Mike Coe, James Davies, Tim Hannibal, Rew Leonard, Dave Perry, Lewis Whitehouse and Nick Townend will get on the saddle on the 26 August for the six-day challenge in support of their friend, Will Ross.
Last October, Will had a life-changing accident that left him permanently paralysed from the chest down. As soon as they heard, Will's friends started thinking about a way "to do our bit and raise money."
Nick said all the men are close friends and decided soon after the accident to help raise funds. "We stupidly came with this idea," he added. "We are not naturally all cyclists but we wanted to do something extreme enough that people would get interested in."
Pictured: The friends' journey will take them from Poole to Jersey.
The group will cycle from Poole to Jersey, taking the long way round. The ride will take them from Poole (Dorset) to Folkestone (Kent) then, after a brief hop through the Channel tunnel- across to France, in St-Malo where they will cross to Jersey.
This feat will take them six days to complete, with an average of 115 miles a day for the first five days.
They have been cycling together and individually to get ready for the big day but, as Nick says: "You can never do enough." "We are probably in a good place. We have all being doing bits. We cycle together but we also do pieces individually where we can," he said.
"Over the next weeks we will try and do a number of rides to replicate the timings. We know how long we will do each day. We are not all natural athletes," Nick added." But it's all part of the fun."
Video: Will should join the group on their lap of Jersey.
When asked how they came up with the idea of the ride, Nick says they originally thought of doing one in Dorset but that they were keen to tie in a Jersey lap as Will lives there. "The easier thing would have been to just get the ferry, but we wanted to do something more extreme."
The team is hoping to raise funds to support Will, his wife Emma and their young daughter but also to support and raise awareness of 'The Inspire Foundation'. The charity specialises which specialises in spinal cord Injuries (including rehabilitation help), and has been working with Will during his rehab.
With a few weeks to go before the departure, the six friends are still appealing for donations. They are also looking for sponsors, with all proceeds going to the Foundation.
Pictured: Will Ross, with his wife Emma and their daughter, Florence.
Islanders will also get to show their support by joining the group on a nearly 30-mile lap of Jersey on 31 August. As soon as their ferry arrives, the six friends will get cycling around the rock and Will should also be joining thanks to a hand-bike that can attach to his wheelchair.
"The more, the merrier," said Nick. "We want to make it a bigger event."
Nick said Will was really "taken aback" when his friends told him about their idea. "Will was hugely appreciative. He was extremely grateful and excited about doing something some of it. He was really active, I think it's the kind of thing he would love to do.
"We are a close group of friends, even though we do not get to see Will as often. As soon as we heard the news we all kind of started thinking about it privately. One of used said it would be a great idea. There's only so much we can do it's our way our doing our bit."

Out of Retirement/In to Retirement
One of the best things to happen in this sabbatical is discovering a new medium - encaustic. For those unfamiliar with it, it is painting with melted beeswax mixed with resin and pigment. It's very forgiving (you can remelt it, scrape it, paint over it, etc.) and can incorporate collage and mixed-media inclusions. There are some incredible artists out there that I continue to learn from, and I have found an outlet that I really enjoy. I built a 400 square ft studio on some property our family has on the Blanco River outside of Wimberley, so I try to go to my happy place a couple of days a week. I'm part of a group I met at Encausticamp in Washington state this summer - we are following Judy Wise's Hot Wax e-book and encouraging each other with monthly technique challenges. This piece was inspired by the all-to-brief autumn color we have in this part of Texas.
If nothing else, I'll try to post vanity pictures as my art progresses. As blog-worthy life events unfold, I'll include those. With both sons traveling overseas in the coming months, I may just need to vent - the nest may be empty, but those maternal instincts don't go away! And don't even get me started on my mother...

What I've learned this week.
Which means I've had an opportunity to observe a few things:
- The next time you are zipping down the interstate, going the speed limit, or faster, and someone comes up on your tail and obviously wants you to get out of the fast lane, do it. I know its annoying, and you want to teach them a lesson & send a message to back off. But it just might be that they have someplace they really need to get to – like an emergency room because someone they love is going to beat them there because they are in a helicopter, and they are limited to a car. Odds are, most people who get up on your butt are not headed to a hospital – but you just never know.
- Yes, we know that neurosurgeons have studied for years, work God-awful hours, have paid a fortune in student loans, and save lives every day. That really doesn't buy them the right to be jerks. If mere-mortals ask stupid questions because we're hanging on to any positive signs we can find, and don't easily absorb the idea that there are no absolutes when it comes to brain injury recovery – please don't make us feel like idiots.
- Nurses are the best. Period. Especially ones that understand that some families have to find humor in strange and sometimes inappropriate places to get through tough times. They usually know more than the doctor, so save your stupid questions for those who actually see the patients as people (see #2 above.) At least if they are going to roll their eyes, they have the good grace to do it behind your back.
- If you are ever asked to renovate a hospital, do NOT put the Critical Care waiting room in the middle of the building. Sitting and waiting numbs the butt and the senses – without natural light to give you a frame of reference, it is even more disorienting. And no one should ever have to watch Fran Drescher reruns for longer than 30 minutes a day. I know health care reform is going wreak havoc on medical expenses, but maybe a deck of cards could be available for check out?
- Forget what your mother told you – don't worry about the condition of your underwear 'in case you are in an accident' (they just cut it off any way.) Instead – make sure your feet are presentable at all times. This is primarily directed to men – although I've seen some pretty knarly women-feet, too (I won't name names.) Keep in mind that the medical team is going to pinch, poke, and prod any available extremities to get a response from you. This could explain why the doctor is a jerk (again, see #2 above.)
Finally, never underestimate how important the support of family and friends can be. We may not be quick to return phone calls, or acknowledge emails – sometimes its hard to relay the same info over and over again. But to those sitting and waiting for something to change, knowing you are in our corner means the world to us, and we thank you for it.

1 "down", 1 to go
What's next? He has 2 months to find something to cover rent, food, utilities -- all those boring expenses that come with adulthood. Beer, wine, martinis(!) all will have to take a back seat (or wait until happy hour or someone else has a party.) He has a car that will need to last until he can handle the payments on his dream car, he has some job-seeking clothes (although he learned last week why removing pens before you wash is a good idea), and I suspect a backlog of 4-years of textbooks that he can sell if the going gets tough. He is still employed as a Senate messenger at the Capitol -- so he has modest income through the summer. Then that's it. Reality bites.
It sucks to be shoved out of the nest during a bad economy -- but Texas hasn't been hit as hard as most areas. So we'll all keep our fingers crossed, and try not to hover too close -- he's very independent, thanks to being raised by daycare! Now he just has to close his eyes and jump...and I need to let him figure out how to land on his feet.

A Herd of Bunnies
This little darling to my left is a 'market days' find from last year -- all I know is that the print was made at Fox Photo in San Antonio, and bunny-boy is '2 1/2 years old.' If I had to guess, I'd say it was from the early 1930s - maybe even Dustbowl days. It appears that the house behind him is modest -- if that was a trellis, the gardener apparently has the same skills as I do! But someone has made the effort to put little Buddy in his Sunday best, staged the collection of bunnies around him, and quickly grabbed the photo before the bunnies tipped over, or Buddy got dirty. Anyone who has attempted to shoot a photo of a 2 1/2 year old hopped up on Easter candy has to appreciate the patience that went into this photo. Of course, we might find out that little Buddy preferred being called Reginald, that this was his maid or cook's cottage, and that this was the start of little Reggie's obsession with figurines that later led to Lladro and Hummels...nah, I don't think so.
Anyway, Easter is just around the corner and Spring weather is kind of all over the place! We finally received (some) much-needed rain this week, and temps are supposed to dip into the low 40s tomorrow (after weeks of upper 80s!) So for now, we've held off our own Dustbowl -- at least the chocolate eggs won't be gritty!

Blogger shame
Oh the embarassment...it has been 7 months since my last post. And now I want to enter the "One World, One Heart" giveaways -- but then everyone will see how neglectful I've been. Needless to say -- the world has really changed in 7 months! I don't pretend to say I can encapsulate everything here (nor would you necessarily even want to read it!). But President Obama said it all on Tuesday: the world is a challenging place right now, but we each have what it takes to make it better. So let's get going!
I really will try to find the time to keep this updated...I'll add it to my list of good intentions!

Yesterday, he flew away for 6 weeks in France.
Now that I've confirmed that he made it to the hotel, with his luggage, I can relax (a little.) If he forgot something, it will be up to him to buy it there, or learn to live without it. His budget is definitely more beer level than champagne, so he will have to choose wisely at restaurants. And, after 6 weeks, he will have to make his way from Grenoble back to Paris to catch a 12:55 flight home. Other than that, he just needs to study enough to complete his foreign language requirement -- and experience all that 6 weeks in France can offer a 21-year old!
Once he's home, the laundry is done, and he's shared all the info he cares to, it will be time to start thinking about the rest of his life -- or not. Some of us wake up each morning and handle things as they come along, while others of us plan, make lists, worry -- and then change the plan to handle things as they come along. One approach isn't any better than the other -- its just a matter of individuality.
So, thanks to la famile Brage (good luck on feeding him!), the people of France, and Mitch's own wits and devices, I can resume sleeping well for a few weeks. Or not....

Just a year ago....
Picture this: 3 middle-aged (yes, 50s is middle-aged) women go out to eat at Emeril's
We arrive & there's a few pierced & tattooed folks half our age standing outside. It looks like there's a good sized crowd inside & we debate whether to try it or not - I hop out and
Me: "How much is the cover?"
Door Guy: "12 bucks"
Me: "Ooooh. (turns to tall young person) Think its worth it?"
Young Guy: "F**k YEAH."
Me: "Really...hmmm."
Young Guy: "Uh, yeah -- Robert Plant is supposed to show up later."
Well, we took a chance, half expecting it to be some Cajun guy named Robert Plant. Sure enough, way past middle-aged women's bedtime, THE Robert Plant shows up. The headlining band was a local band he was using on a Katrina benefit album & they had invited him to drop by. Because of my middle-aged women knees (which magically didn't bother me anymore), we had snagged a spot next to the stage so we could lean against something -- so we were up able to get up close and personal.
It was a night to remember -- yes, just like us, Robert Plant is older, but to hear him sing "Sea of Love" from 20 feet away...from the 20-something tatted and pierced "kids", through the urban professional 30-year olds, to those of us that still have Led Zeppelin ALBUMS...we all loved it. Excuse the poor quality video (and I deleted the audio because it really didn't record well) - its short, but you get the gist.
Anyway -- due to some speedbumps in life's road, we won't be able to take another girlfriend trip for awhile, but we WILL plan something soon. I'm not sure we'll have adventures that top this one--but you never know!Coleen - get better soon. We have places to go, and people to see!

Think Margarita meets Pina Colada. In bar form. For this pregnant lady, that's about as close to those sweet frozen cocktails as I'm going to get for another 6 weeks.
I ran across this recipe in last month's Southern Living magazine. We had a bunch of family and friends in town several weeks ago and I knew this would be a perfect treat in the hot weather.
Though a little time consuming, these bars are easy to make and well worth the extra effort and time. They are absolutely delicious and were a huge hit with all of our guests. Coconut, lime and tequila are always a great combination and it's one that does not disappoint with this recipe.
The bars are just sweet enough and the lime juice and zest really keep them bright and light. In other words - they are addicting (you've been warned!).
I followed the directions for the recipe exactly. I did garnish the bars with powdered sugar as suggested, but omitted the lime rind curls for lack of time (though I'm sure they'd be a lovely touch).
Tequila-Lime-Coconut Macaroon Bars
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons tequila
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnishes: powdered sugar, lime rind curls
Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom and sides of a 13- x 9-inch pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing 2 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil.
Stir together 1 3/4 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Press mixture onto bottom of prepared pan.
Bake at 350° for 20 to 23 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a medium bowl until smooth; whisk in coconut, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir together baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup flour; whisk into egg mixture. Pour over hot crust.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until filling is set. Let cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Lift from pan, using foil sides as handles. Remove foil, and cut into bars. Garnish, if desired.

Welcome to our Fort Pierce, FL Fishing Home Page
The Fort Pierce area is a popular vacation destination, although, it is not nearly as popular as some of the tourist destinations in Florida. As a result, this area has many uncrowded, peaceful beaches. This whole area of Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie and Jensen Beach provide visitors with a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of recreational opportunities. Spend some time boating, swimming, fishing or just laying out on the beach.
The fishing is very good in this area since you have so many options. You can fish inshore, offshore and from the beaches here. Fishing charters are available for inshore and offshore fishing trips. The Indian River provides some excellent fishing for snook, redfish, trout, tarpon and other species. Offshore, anglers target a variety of fish such as dolphin, wahoo, cobia, kingfish, baracuda, amberjack, sailfish, marlin, snapper and grouper.
Inshore Fishing
The Fort Pierce Inlet and nearby St. Lucie inlet help feed this area with plenty of bait fish and other bait with each incoming tide. The Indian river is home to some excellent fishing throughout Florida, but this area usually tends to produce great fishing due to these inlets. Many people just go fish the inlet, but you have so many options for targeting a variety of fish in the inshore waters here. You can fish the docks, bridges, channels and flats for tarpon, redfish, sea trout, ladyfish, sheepshead, pompano, sharks, bluefish, black drum, jack crevalle and more.
Nearshore Fishing
Some anglers do run along the beaches to fish the nearshore waters in this area. Anglers usually target kingfish, cobia, sharks, Spanish Mackerel and tarpon nearshore, but there are several other species of fish that can be caught. The time of year will dictate what fish will be more prevalent in the nearshore waters.
Deep Sea / Offshore Fishing
The Fort Pierce Inlet gives anglers access to the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to some excellent fishing offshore for a variety of different fish. The target species will vary depending on the seasons, but some of the fish that are targeted here offshore are grouper, snapper, cobia, king mackerel, amberjack, barracuda, sharks, mahi mahi, tuna, billfish, wahoo and others.
Surf & Pier Fishing
Pier Fishing
There are many smaller fishing piers throughout the county, but the Fort Pierce Inlet will get most of the attention from shore anglers in this area. The inlet offers fishing from the north and south jetties. To access the north jetty, take a look at the Fort Pierce Inlet State Park. The south jetty has some public parking available. From the jetties, you can catch snook, sheepshead, flounder, pompano, tarpon, sharks, spanish mackerel, whiting, flounder, redfish, trout, bluefish and others.
Surf Fishing
The Fort Pierce area also offers some excellent surf fishing from its miles of beaches. Some of the popular species from the surf are snook, pompano, redfish, spanish mackerel, black drum, sheepshead, sharks and other species of fish are also possible. Fish during the tidal changes and you should be able to catch some fish from the beach in this area.

Dulwich College (Singapore) is the first educational institution in Singapore to commit to 100% carbon neutral electricity by offsetting carbon emissions equivalent to planting more than 35,000 trees. The United Nation certified carbon credits will offset electricity emissions which help fund additional global renewable projects such as wind farms and solar projects. Not only will this bring about the environment sustainability by reducing the College's carbon footprint, it will also raise awareness about this important cause.
Carbon awareness will also be incorporated into part of the curriculum at the College. Students can look forward to environmental co-curricular activities and demonstrate a conscious effort towards making Singapore more sustainable. "We believe in creating a sustainable and low carbon global community. By choosing to procure 100% carbon neutral electricity until the end of 2020, we are not only supporting renewable projects such as wind farms but also setting an example for our 2000 students. This initiative will filter down through to the next generation and help in the education and promotion of sustainable initiatives." Headmaster, Nick Magnus shares.

Foreign experts should pay close attention to their personal and financial safety in working and travelling in China and be careful in communicating with strangers.
Foreign currency can be exchanged for yuan at banks and star-rated hotels. Avoid changing foreign currency through an illegal channel to avoid loss.
To protect property safety, in addition to security measures, people visiting departments where foreign experts reside should register when entering and leaving, and non-residents are not allowed to stay overnight in these apartments, to ensure the safety of foreign experts.

Trump's Top Trade Nominee Has Protectionist Tendencies
President-elect Donald Trump filled out his trade team on Tuesday with another critic of China, but also a veteran of trade debates by naming Robert Lighthizer as his pick to head the U.S. Trade Representative's Office.
A Washington lawyer, Lighthizer was a deputy trade representative during the Reagan administration.
It's unclear exactly how Lighthizer will operate in the Trump presidency. The Trump transition team has stressed that Wilbur Ross, nominee for Secretary of commerce, will take a lead on trade talks while Peter Navarro, head of the newly created White House National Trade Council, will also have a hand in crafting trade policy.
The Wall Street Journal stated that Trump's selections for trade policy signals a major shift "threating China and Mexico with tariffs if they don't right alleged trade wrongs." The article added that Lighthizer has decades of experience advocating for punitive tariffs. Further, Lighthizer might not push hard for new free-trade deals. http://www.wsj.com/…
Trump took to Twitter on Monday to chide China on North Korea and also trade. Trump stated, "China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!"
In 2008, after Sen. John McCain captured enough Republican primaries to win the nomination, Lighthizer wrote a column in the New York Times declaring that free trade is not really a conservative position on trade policy and that, in fact, more conservatives were protectionist on trade.
Lighthizer wrote, "Reagan's pragmatism contrasted strongly with the utopian dreams of free traders. Ever since Edmund Burke criticized the French philosophes, Anglo-American conservatism has rejected ivory-tower theories that disregard the realities of everyday life.
"Modern free traders, on the other hand, embrace their ideal with a passion that makes Robespierre seem prudent. They allow no room for practicality, nuance or flexibility. They embrace unbridled free trade, even as it helps China become a superpower."
Lighthizer's nomination drew praise from the Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that is largely opposed to current trade policy and trade deals.
"Ambassador Lighthizer is an excellent choice to replace Michael Froman as the US Trade Representative," said Michael Stumo, CEO of CPA. "He understands that international trade is a strategic game of conflicting national interests and a competition for good jobs and industries. America must move past the failed and simplistic Econ 101 trade policy of the past because the results have been an economic carpet bombing of the non-urban areas of the US."
The American Farm Bureau Federation also issued statement. Georgia farmer Zippy Duvall, president of AFBF, said the group looks forward to working with Lighthizer to get more favorable trade terms for agricultural products.
"America's farmers and ranchers know unfair regulations, steep tariffs and senseless non-tariff barriers undermine our exports. We must work together to remove these obstacles to prosperity and identify new global opportunities that will benefit American agriculture," Duvall said.
Duvall added, "Economic growth in rural America depends on maintaining and increasing access to markets outside the United States. Since more than 95 percent of the world's population lives outside our borders, expanding access to international markets is essential for our future success. We trust Mr. Lighthizer will work tirelessly to assure it."
Leaders from the dairy industry also said they looked forward to working with Lighthizer as well. Unlike others who criticize trade with Mexico but not Canada, the dairy industry's statement went the opposite direction. The statement came from Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF, and Matt McKnight, senior vice president of Market Access, Regulatory and Industry Affairs for the U.S. Dairy Export Council,
"The U.S. dairy industry, like most other agricultural sectors across America, has significantly benefited from the agricultural provisions of prior U.S. free trade agreements. At the same time, however, we face a growing wave of nontariff barriers that threaten to impede overseas sales. Our NAFTA partners epitomize both sides of that story: Our dairy agreement with Mexico has created an export market worth well over $1 billion a year, while on the other side of the border Canada has at every opportunity decided to flout its dairy trade commitments to the U.S.
"A focus on preserving and growing what is working well, while cracking down further on what is not, will help to expand global markets for U.S. dairy farmers and the companies that turn their milk into nutritious dairy products shipped all over the world. Given that every $1 billion in U.S. dairy exports translates into over 23,000 jobs in the dairy sector and related industries, expanding dairy sales abroad is a strong job-creation strategy."
Updated USDA agricultural trade data for 2016 will be released on Friday. Through the first 10 months of the year, ag exports were at 107.7 billion, down about $1.73 billion from the same time in 2015. Imports were at about $95.1 billion so the U.S. had a positive agricultural trade balance of about $12.6 billion.
The top U.S. market for soybeans is China, accounting for 56% of soybean exports from January through October at about 22.5 million metric tons.
The top market for corn is Mexico at about 25% of corn exports with 11.76 million metric tons, beating out Japan, which imported 10.4 mmt of U.S. corn.

Scotland to get first Belgian-style brewery
Every brewery in Scotland is exciting. I hope we tick a few boxes others have not, and head off in a direction suited to our expertise, passion and the UK drinkers' palate/interest.
The words of Stonehaven-based Robert Lindsay, who is about to launch yet another brewery into the Scottish market. That direction he was talking about, if you look at a map, is roughly south south-east – a heading that points from Aberdeenshire to the beer heartlands of Flanders and Wallonia. Robert – or BrewBob, as he signs himself – intends to open Scotland's only dedicated Belgian-style brewery – SIX°NORTH.* And why not? As Bob says, he wants to tick a few different boxes – plenty of breweries north of the border have put out Belgian-style beers before, why not go the whole nine yards?
*As with Scotland's other European-specific producers, WEST, the capital letters are fixed, it seems
Bob was born and raised in Stoney, but lived in Belgium for three years, learning his brewing trade there, with the locals. Since returning to these shores, he's owned and operated the Marine Hotel in the town – which already looks to be something of a beacon, with apparently over 150 Belgian beers on offer. However, for many years Bob's nagging idea has been to put together his own facility, and to augment the bottled multitude with draught versions of the real thing, made on the wind-beaten Aberdeenshire coastline.
So, from April, SIX°NORTH will be brewing a range of beers in the Belgian style – mostly for keg and bottle (although some will potentially also go into casks). Their 20HL kit arrived intact from China, and trial brews are being performed at this very moment. To begin with, Bob has planned a range of releases to cover most of the spectrum – blond, wheat, saison, dubbel and tripel. Beyond that, though, are other derivatives such as Belgian-style stouts, fruit beers, and even…lambic.
The holy (spontaneously fermenting) grail has been suggested by one or two Scottish brewers in the past, and there must be many more who have looked half-heartedly in the direction of the Senne Valley. Time will tell – quite literally – if the wild flora of Scotland can support commercial lambic production, but in the meantime, Bob will clearly have his hands full with the other styles on his checklist. Once the final trial brews have been completed, things should move fairly swiftly, and SIX°NORTH beer will arrive on the bar at the Marine Hotel in Stonehaven.
It seems as if Bob isn't a 'resting on the laurels' type, though, as not content with stocking his own hotel, there's another project in the pipeline. Belgian beer fans based in Aberdeenshire will be looking forward to May, when SIX°NORTH's own 'craft' bar opens (in a currently undisclosed location). Plans are with the architects at the moment, and so within a few months, SIX°NORTH's beers will appear in a bespoke bar – alongside a rumoured twenty other Belgians on draught, plus a three-figure number of bottles.
The beer scene in the north-east has been transformed recently – once BrewBob and SIX°NORTH get underway, more of those boxes are set to be ticked.

Music reviews of the finest concerts in Toronto and beyond!
- symphonic, choral, opera, chamber, jazz and period music -
Charles Richard-Hamelin accepts a standing ovation.
Review by David Richards
Toronto ON February 4th 2019
Pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin, ready to sign copies of his new CD following his Koerner Hall performance
The pianistic artistry of Charles Richard-Hamelin shines in Schumann and Chopin!
Yesterday's Invesco Piano Series concert at the Royal Conservatory of Music's Koerner Hall featured the award-winning pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin. The program notes described him as "one of the most important pianists of his generation". There weren't many in the audience who would disagree following the solo program of Schumann and Chopin. The well-chosen music by the 29-year-old pianist from Montréal was performed with supreme artistry and brilliant virtuosity.
Ever the consummate artist, Richard-Hamelin approached curating the program in the same thoughtful way as he executed the music. The concert, divided in two halves, opened with the music of Schumann and, following intermission, closed with Fryderyk Chopin's Four Ballades – all music written in the same time-frame by two composers who knew each other and each other's music.
Richard-Hamelin played with a delicacy that drew the audience into the music, while his power and passion filled the hall with fiery imagery without ever going over the edge into ugliness. His playing told the stories of both composers with conviction and nuance.
The concert opened with the short, light-hearted Arabesque in C Major, op, 18, followed immediately by the centre-piece of the program, Robert Schumann's three-movement masterpiece Fantasy in C Major, op.18. Much has been made of this work being an autobiographical outpouring of Schumann's tormented anguish and longing for Clara Wieck, the love of his life whom he was forbidden to see. In fact, Schumann wrote to Clara that the Fantasy was "the most passionate thing I have ever written – a profound lament for you". Indeed, yesterday's performance of the three-movement work left me drained. As the person sitting next to me said before intermission, I could have gone home satisfied at that point.
It was in the second half of the concert that the structure of the program came into focus. One couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two composers: their sudden change in moods, the untold yet evident stories in the music, their profound lyrical intensity and the riveting virtuosity.
The three-movement structure of the Fantasy came from Beethoven, perhaps even his final sonata with its finale also a slow movement. The work was initially entitled Ruins – Trophies – Palms: Grand Sonata for the Pianoforte for Beethoven's Memorial. Schumann even quoted from a Beethoven song cycle. Nevertheless, I was left with the sense that it was Chopin's Ballades that had the overriding influence on Schumann's expressions of utter despondency juxtaposed with passionate outbursts.
Chopin visited Schumann in Leipzig in the fall of 1836 as Schumann set out to compose his Fantasy. Chopin performed his F Major Ballade, Op. 38 for Schumann and before leaving gave him a copy of his G minor Ballade Op. 23. The riveting passion and poignant lyricism of Richard-Hamelin's playing convinced me of the influence that Chopin had on Schumann. Similarly, Schumann gave copies of his F-sharp Minor Sonata and his Études symphoniques to Chopin. The comparisons jumped out clearly in the second half of the concert in the performance of the Ballades.
The Four Ballades were played entirely convincingly. There was no lapse of energy at any time. The quiet moments were pregnant with anticipation. The impossible-to-play codas were spellbinding.
This was the fourth time that I have heard Richard-Hamelin perform since his 2015 award-winning performance at the International Chopin Competition. His Chopin has been as consistently convincing as any other young artist. His reputation continues to grow with his relentless schedule of concerts around the world (80 in 2018) and his recordings (I count four to date including a Juno nominated recording with violinist Andrew Wan of Beethoven Sonatas for Violin and Piano). For those at the concert, there was his yet-to-be released CD of Chopin Piano Concertos with Orchestra symphonique de Montréal conducted by Kent Nagano. It will be available digitally and in stores on February 22, 2019.
Richard-Hamelin will perform next in St. John's Newfoundland with the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra on February 7th. Upcoming performances in Seville, Paris, Lyons, Kraków, and London will make for another very busy season. Watch for his next Toronto appearance in July when he will be performing in the Toronto Summer Music Festival.
The next Invesco Piano Series concert will feature another young Canadian superstar, the 23-year-old Jan Lisiecki. On Sunday, March 3rd 2019 at 3pm at Koerner Hall, Lisiecki will perform a program of music by Chopin, Schumann, Ravel and Rachmaninoff.


text: art3mis 55 Posted November 3, 2016 Hi Have gone thru both tutorials listed at the end of this post but am confused by one thing. Is the Wedge ROP strictly for rendering geometry (ie vdb's or bgeo files) or can it also be used to render images as well? I thought it could be used as sort of a batch Flipbook renderer. But in these examples you need to define a SOP path which points to either a specific piece of geometry or vdb. https://archive.sidefx.com/images/stories/tutorials/wedge_ROP/wedge.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace, a life at peace, has always been
and continues to be an ideal for human-
ity. But peace as a state of world pol-
itics has never been stable... In the
last quarter century, the threshold for
applying force has clearly been lowered.
Immunity against war acquired as a re-
suit of two world wars, literally on a
psychological, subconscious level, has
been weakened.
No one has done so much to validate the
reflections cited above as the man who
uttered them, at a conference in Sochi
on the Black Sea in 2015, Vladimir Pu-
tin. Now, he has an emulator in Wash-
ington, an admiring co-practitioner in
the arts of disinformation which the ac-
tivist-historian of contemporary Russia,
Masha Gessen, shows to have destroyed
any prospect for a stable civil society,
much less a democracy, in that country.
Now Putin's American admirer has demanded
the harassment and de facto seizure of an
American broadcast network, for its exer-
cise of its press freedom, while every day
inundating the culture with disinformation
regurgitated by his kept cable news hacks,
preachers, and virtual internet hordes.
One reads Masha Gessen's fine book with a
sense of urgency of any Russian - yet, in
English, in the United States. The subject
is one of the implementation of a common
policy by common means. The diverting and
quaint concept, collusion, having been ren-
dered extinct by the structures of social
media, falls by the wayside of her inquiry.
Extinction, meanwhile, remains prolifically
at the center of the American President's
own discourse, as a condition of greatness.
His are no mere flirtations with war, they
are a cultural conditioning, well under way.
Masha Gessen
The Future is History
How Totalitarianism
Reclaimed Russia

The pre-quel to the award winning novel CONSPIRACY OF BONES is just a click away. See where Mark Graham's journey begins in this evolutionary conspiracy mystery.
Yes, I am that nerd. As a long time Start Trek fan, I couldn't believe my good fortune when I was able to visit the town of Vulcan, Alberta and take in some of the fun and 'fascinating' Star Trek memorabilia.
I decided on the spur of the moment to join a couple of my siblings on a 'cousin trip' . My sister and brother had been up to visit me from Saskatchewan and on the way home they were meeting up with a cousin from Ontario who was flying to Calgary where they would all meet and then travel around Alberta and Saskatchewan visiting some of our cousins whom we haven't seen in quite some time. I had not planned on joining them but at the last minute I jumped in the vehicle. It just so happened that we couldn't get a hotel room in Okotoks, where we planned to meet up with our cousin, so we had to drive to nearby Vulcan. I knew that Vulcan had embraced Star Trek as part of its tourism, but had no idea it was so cool!
I wouldn't mind getting out there sometime!

Pobeda airline is going to fly from St. Petersburg to Spain, Italy and Germany
«Pobeda has made an application for flights to Girona, Cologne and Pisa from St. Petersburg's Pulkovo airport. The company expects to open these directions in the summer of 2018». — reported CEO of the carrier Andrei Kalmykov.
It is noted, that if the company obtains the admittance, the low-coster will compete on the Italian direction with S7. And Pac Group operator already took blocks of seats on the boards of S7. Most likely, by tradition Pobeda will fill its own liners independently. Observers suggest that the launching of a new carrier may lead to lower prices, as has already happened in Moscow. Competition of Pobeda and S7, whose programs to Pisa began in March 2018, was marked in November by dumping: air tickets for spring dates are available for about 14 thousand Rubles (202 EUR).
The tourist market reacted to the plans of the low-coster with enthusiasm. The popularity of direction is connected with the fact that from Pisa the travelers may easily reach Tuscan coast and Florence. According to experts, regardless of flights frequency, the boards of both carriers will be well filled in the summer both from Moscow and from St. Petersburg. sourse: tourdom.ru

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.
Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.
Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.
I really enjoyed the backstory in this novel. I loved the back-and-forth between Evie's story and Agnes', and the parallels between the two girls born over 100 years apart. I also loved the magic in this story--I'm a big sucker for the whole elements thing (earth, air, fire, water)...I don't know why.
However, I had a really hard time connecting with the main character. I found myself much more fond of Agnes (who grew stronger and stood up for herself and what she believed in) than of Evie (who kept caving and doing whatever Sebastian asked of her). I also had a bit of a problem with the relationship between Sebastian and Evie. It seemed too fast for me. One minute he knocks her down into the mud and is really rude to her, and the next she's in love with him and sneaking out every night to see him. There was almost no in-between, and I really couldn't see what Evie liked so much about him. I didn't trust him.
It was a fun paranormal tale, but the relationship between Evie and Sebastian just wasn't for me. I'm sure a lot of others out there would enjoy it though, and I'm really hoping Evie toughens up a bit for the next installment in the series.
3 stars.

Not everyone can be an account manager.
The job is only interesting if you know how to handle people because you will be continuously involved with different personalities with different interests and goals. Also, one has to be patient. Let's be honest, account managing is stressful.
If you are hiring an account manager, you should check on specific traits and whether they match your personality and goals. Finance is a sensitive aspect of life and you should first establish trust and confidence in a person before allowing them to be part of your journey to success. An account manager should be able to capture your goal and advise basing on your interests but also stick to reality and practical strategies.
So how do you know you have the right account manager?
As the client, you should be updated with every change or move the agency makes. You are busy with business or employment and it is impossible to check on the agency regularly. Financial markets change regularly hence the importance of constant updates. Your tight schedules does not mean you should miss or delegate the account updates to a friend or family. This is why you hired an account manager.
Constant communication is key to a relationship between an account manager and a client. Your manager should be in constant contact with you; it is crucial for you two to be on the same page at every point. Communication sounds like common sense but not many account managers are able to keep up with the standards because the financial industry can get intense. Communication helps you to make timely decisions with less pressure.
Your account manager should have everything at fingertips. Whenever you need information or specific details, it should be pulled out within minutes. Your documents and resources should also be stored in a specific and secure place. Organization skills are crucial for an account manager; this should be the basis of forming a relationship. You can't trust anyone with your business information or simply finances if they are disorganize. In fact, the primary reason of hiring an account manager is keeping your accounts organized and always updated. No files or entries should be lost.
Before you engage an account manager, one should have the capability of keeping records and pulling out details fast. Organization skills should be the difference between you and an account manager otherwise, the individual does not quality to advise or handle your finances. The job is demanding because the manager has to keep you updated with agency and market structures as well as balance these elements with your financial goals and interests. Account managers can be naturally organized but there are also tools to help with keeping records and staying organized.
An account manager should be familiar with your networks and business associates. Additionally, the manager should be acquainted with your family setup and other close associates because these people influence your financial decisions and performance at work place. Managing an account entails more than balancing revenue and expenses. A manager should be well vast with the sources of your income and how money flows in your business; of course, you have to trust the individual to share this is information, it is sensitive.
You need to have a personal relationship with your account manager. Check whether you two have a rapport. Do you trust him or her? An account manager that knows you at a personal level can help in making effective decisions that suit your goals and preferences. Some professional advises may not apply in your world; not every financial strategy coincides with your financial goals. This is why you should have a close relationship with your account manager for suitable recommendations or advise.
An account manager should not be restricted with boundaries in the profession. While the individual should stick to legal and professional standards, some decisions require thinking outside the box. You need new ideas to manage your money and make meaningful investments than previous years. Implementing the same strategies every month won't make a difference in your finances, which will defeat the purpose of hiring an account manager.
The individual should research and come up with new ideas on how to invest, save, and spend. A good account manager should push you out of the comfort zone irrespective of your wealth. There is always room for growth no matter how much you have achieved in your career or business. It is the role of an account manager to keep you updated on market trends and dynamics.
If you don't feel a priority to your account manager, you should move on and engage another one. An account manager should be concerned with your interests and struggles. This is related to establishing a personal relationship; the manager should not only know what you eat, say, and where you sleep but also be concerned about how these elements affect your finances and wellbeing. A manager should know what is important to you and make it important to them.
Account managers should genuinely care for clients and show the care. The account manager might be caring and concerned but poor in demonstrating the concern, which is a common mistake with professionals. You should feel cared for and a priority.
An account manager has to take time with clients, learn their perceptions and goals then develop ways of helping them. Managing accounts means being part of an individual's journey to success; the manager should be the driver with respect to making decisions.

Valuing the impact of plant pest and biological controls on New Zealand agriculture
The agricutural industry plays a key part of the New Zealand economy. However the incidence of plant pests in New Zealand threaten the viability of the sector. There are various options for controlling and mitigating the impact of these pests, and biological controls offer one potentially valuable solution. Economic analysis of these pests are vital to forming an appropriate policy response at the government level. Much of the literature on bio-security and biological controls focusses on a biological perspective rather than an economic one. This dissertation presents a more comprehensive framework for economic valuations of plant pests, with the use of a modified cost-benefit analysis (incorporating inputs from partial equilibirum trade modelling) to test the economic impact of plant pests and controls responses in New Zealand. Specifically, two case studies are examined: clover root weevil (Sitona lepidus), and its biological control Microctonus aethiopoides; and glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis), and its biological control Gonatocerus ashmeadi. The analysis shows the impacts of clover root weevil, and glassy-winged sharpshooter, if left unchecked, are –NZ$604 million, and –NZ$5 million per year respectively. The biological control options for each pest would mitigate between NZ$338-431 million per year in the case of clover root weevil, and NZ$4 million in the case of glassy-winged sharpshooter....

What do these three sentences have in common?
I looked into the closet, it was empty.
Krepps jerked his head from side to side, then he ran across the parking lot.
We were worried about rain, however, the weather was beautiful for our open house.
Answer: They're all run-on sentences. (Other names for this error are fused sentence and comma splice.)
Here are a few principles to live by. (They're easy to learn, and they can save you from many errors!)
- Don't use a comma to join two sentences.
- Here's how to tell if you have two sentences: Look at the beginning. If it starts with a person, place, or thing – it's a sentence. Use a period.
- There are only seven words that you can use with a comma to join sentences: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So (the FANBOYS words)
- In real-world writing, most people use only two of these words: And, But.
Let's fix today's sentences. (It's easy – just use a period!)
I looked into the closet. It was empty. CORRECT
Krepps jerked his head from side to side. Then he ran across the parking lot. CORRECT
We were worried about rain. However, the weather was beautiful for our open house. CORRECT
