Grace Dafoe
|Birth Date:
|Jul. 15, 1993 (age 27)
|Birth Place:
A born and raised Calgarian, Grace always had a passion for competing on ice. It began with figure skating – a sport she competed in from ages 3-18 – this led her to the Canada Olympic Park. When the ice rink facility opened, Grace knew she had reached her peak in the sport and became interested in the sliding sports after watching the 2010 and 2006 Olympics.
With competitive juices still flowing, Grace contacted the Alberta Skeleton Association and participated in a "Discover Skeleton" session in 2012. Olympic gold medallist, Jon Montgomery, was a guest instructor. She completed the driving school and 10 months later, despite crashing in nearly every race, Grace was hooked.
Working her way through the development pathway, Grace's first win came on her home track in 2015 when she won the North America's Cup race in Calgary. She says standing on the podium, listening to the Canadian anthem, is her favorite sporting memory. Her first trip off the continent for skeleton was with her mom where Grace represented Canada at the Junior World Championships 2016.
Grace's favourite track is at the birthplace of the sport in St. Moritz, Switzerland. She grew up idolizing Canada's Olympic medal winning figure skater, Joannie Rochette. She says watching Joannie skate to the Olympic podium days after losing her mom was one of the most resilient performances ever.
If she wasn't sliding, she would be working full-time and volunteering more in her community. Grace spends a great deal of time working with youth in Calgary associated with KidSport and Fast & Female where she mentors kids in sport, instilling life lessons sport presents for the next generation. Grace also completed an internship with Classroom Champions last year. She also coaches figure skating and is a support coach with Olympic gold skeleton medalist, Duff Gibson's, program Dark Horse Athletic.
Grace holds a Bachelor of Health & Physical Education with a major in Physical Literacy from Mount Royal University. Committed to the MRU Alumni Community, Grace returns to the school each spring to talk to new graduates about career opportunities and pathways available to them.
She loves to travel and spend time with friends and family, along with her dog Ivy.

Elon University men's basketball head coach Matt Matheny has been fired following an 11-21 (7-11 in CAA) season. Matheny coached 10 years for the Phoenix — five years in the Southern Conference and five years in the Colonial Athletic Association. Matheny will leave Elon with an overall record of 151-169. This comes days after three players entered their names into the NCAA Transfer Portal with hopes to leave Elon.
Matheny suffered through five losing seasons during his tenure. This past season was Matheny's worst record since his inaugural season as head coach when the team posted a record of 9-23 (5-13 in SoCon). Elon has only won one CAA Tournament game since joining the league in 2014-15 under Matheny, and this year the Phoenix fell to the University of North Carolina Wilmington — a team Elon had beaten twice already in the year.
Matheny ranks third all-time in wins at Elon, just 10 wins behind Graham "Doc" Mathis for second all-time. The Statesville, North Carolina, native had one 20-win season during his tenure — in 2012-13 when the team had arguably its most productive year under Matheny. In the 2012-13 season, Matheny coached the team to its only Division I postseason tournament when they made the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
"I want to thank Matt for his leadership over the past 10 years," Director of Athletics Dave Blank said in a statement. "He has been an excellent ambassador for Elon athletics and Phoenix basketball. He has had a positive impact on the lives of the players and we are grateful for all that he has done. His players have excelled in the classroom and as engaged citizens on campus and in the community. However, after a thorough review of the program, I believe a new direction at this time is necessary to move our program forward and provide the best chance for our student-athletes to compete for championships. I wish nothing but the best for Matt and his family."
That same year, Matheny was also named the 2012-13 SoCon Head Coach of the Year and a finalist for the Hugh Durham Award, which is awarded to the best mid-major head coach. Before coming to Elon, Matheny was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Davidson College. While at Davidson, Matheny made the NCAA Tournament three times, including being a part of the team's shocking run to the Elite Eight in 2008 led by Stephen Curry, the now three-time NBA champion and two-time MVP on the Golden State Warriors.
Matheny's firing comes recently after Tony Shaver, head coach of fellow CAA-school The College of William and Mary, was fired following 16 seasons at the helm.

Air North Charter and Training Ltd., operating as Air North, Yukon's Airline, is a Canadian airline based in Whitehorse, Yukon. It operates scheduled passenger and cargo flights throughout Yukon, as well as between Yukon and the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. The airline also operates charter flights throughout Canada and Alaska. The airline also provides ground handling services and fuel services to other airlines throughout Yukon, and it also provides ground handling services at Vancouver International Airport and Edmonton International Airport. Its main base is Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport.[6] Air North is also a sponsor of many festivals in Yukon, and BC, a notable example would be the Atlin Arts & Music Festival, in which Air North donates $10,000 each year.
The airline was established by Joe Sparling and Tom Woods, and started flight training and general purpose charter operations in 1977 with a single Cessna 206. Throughout the 1980s the company steadily grew and acquired several more aircraft including Douglas DC-3s, a Douglas DC-4, and a variety of Cessnas, de Havillands and other aircraft. Also during the 1980s Air North began offering scheduled passenger and cargo service in addition to charter services. During the 1990s the fleet of piston-powered aircraft were replaced with more modern and reliable turboprop aircraft, and by 2000 the fleet consisted of one Beechcraft Model 99 and three Hawker Siddeley 748 Series 2As.
The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow also began investing in Air North around this time, and with help from this investment Air North acquired a pair of Boeing 737-200 jets in 2002. These jets allowed Air North to begin competing with the mainline carriers between Yukon and Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. These routes proved to be successful and since then Kelowna, Yellowknife, Ottawa and Victoria have also been added to Air North's route map. Since Air North began scheduled jet service on Yukon-South routes passenger traffic at the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport has doubled, and by 2014 nearly 60% of those passengers were flying with Air North.
The Beech 99 was sold in 2005, a fourth Hawker Siddeley 748 acquired in 2006, and in 2008 a Boeing 737-200 combi was acquired, with its large main deck cargo door and moveable bulkhead allowing all-cargo as well as mixed cargo/passenger operations with the 737. Soon after a gravel kit was also installed on the 737 Combi, allowing the aircraft to operate on the airline's northern routes and expand charter capabilities.
Starting in 2010 a new fleet expansion and modernization plan was put into action, beginning with a larger B737-400 and a winglet equipped B737-500. In 2012 a fifth HS748 (a pure freighter equipped with the large freight door) and a second 737-500 were acquired. 2014 saw the arrival of the third 737-500 sporting an updated livery, and a fourth 737-500 was put into service in 2016. In spring of 2017 ATR 42 aircraft were introduced to the fleet and put to work on the northern routes, bringing an end to the world's last scheduled passenger HS-748 service. Two of the HS-748s are still in service for charter work and freight hauling however.[citation needed]
With the newer aircraft in service the three 737-200s and three of the five HS-748 have been retired and some of which are now parked behind Air North's maintenance base and used for spare parts and staff training.[7]
Since the arrival of the Boeing 737s, the main Air North base in Whitehorse has steadily expanded. It now includes the original hangar which is now used as a cargo warehouse and ground equipment shop, a new aircraft maintenance hangar (the largest north of 60 in Canada) a reservations and administration building, an operations centre, an in-house catering and cabin services department, and a fueling facility. Air North also operates secondary bases in Vancouver, B.C., Edmonton, Alberta, and Dawson City, Yukon.
In conjunction with North of Ordinary Media, Air North launched its inflight magazine, Yukon, North of Ordinary[8] in February 2007. Yukon, North of Ordinary is published quarterly with a press run of 20,000. It is available in-flight, via subscriptions, and in bookstores across Canada. The magazine is owned and operated by North of Ordinary Media of Carcross, Yukon.
Also in the mid-2000s Air North opened its own flight kitchen in Whitehorse. On most flights Air North offers a complimentary light meal made fresh daily, followed by a complimentary dessert such as cheese cake or fresh cookies. Yukon products are featured when possible, and often include Midnight Sun coffee and Yukon Brewing beer. Over the years Air North has won several awards for its outstanding customer service, and Air North was recently named "the 2nd most loved airline in the world" by Fortune Magazine.
Currently the mainstay of Air North's work is scheduled passenger and cargo flights between Whitehorse and Vancouver, Kelowna, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Yellowknife, Ottawa, Dawson City, Old Crow, Mayo and Inuvik. Air North also runs regular freight trips and fuel-haul flights to the fly-in only community of Old Crow, Yukon. In addition to scheduled routes, Air North is also involved in a variety of charter work and they offer passenger, combi, cargo and fuel-haul charter services to anywhere in North America with the HS-748s, ATR 42s and Boeing 737s. Regular charter customers include mine operators, oil companies, cruise ship tour operators, fishing lodges, sports teams, and many others. The remainder of Air North's revenue comes from ground handling services at Whitehorse, Dawson City, Old Crow, Edmonton and Vancouver Airports, as well as Jet-A refuelling services at Whitehorse. Air North is currently main provider of Jet-A fuel service in Whitehorse and is also the ground handler for Condor Airlines and WestJet Airlines in Whitehorse, as well as American Airlines, United Airlines, Aeromexico, and others in Vancouver.
Air North is now owned by Joseph Sparling (51%) (President, CEO, and Boeing 737 Captain) and the Vuntut Development Corporation (49%), an arm of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation. Air North is one of the largest private sector employers in Yukon. As of 2015 Air North has over 500 employees and more than 1,200 Class C & D shareholders. During profitable years Air North regularly offers employees a profit sharing, and also recently offered each and every Yukoner a $50 travel voucher as a thank you for supporting Air North.

The other is a pure freighter and has the large freight door in the rear fuselage. Both can also be configured to haul fuel and are capable of operating from gravel runways.
The Transport Canada list includes a Hawker Siddeley HS 748 and a Boeing 737-200 both with cancelled certificates.[10][11]
Historic fleet[edit]
Aircraft previously operated include:[12]
Air North's aircraft are primary painted white except for the lettering on the fuselage, wings and vertical stabilizer, although different aircraft types feature slightly different liveries.
On the fuselage, the words "Air North" and "Yukon's Airline" are painted, although the positioning varies by aircraft type. In addition, on aircraft without winglets, "flyairnorth.com" is painted somewhere on the fuselage. On the Hawker Siddeley HS 748, the bottom is left unpainted with an orange stripe at the convergence of the painted and unpainted areas.
The tail is painted orange with a stylized "Yukon" printed in white. On the ATR 42-300 and 737-400/-500, the orange is extended below onto the fuselage.
On aircraft with winglets, the outside is designed like the tail, with an orange background and the stylized "Yukon" printed on it. On the inside, "flyairnorth.com" is printed, removing the need for it to be painted on the fuselage.

- On 20 September 1987, Piper PA-31 Navajo C-GPAC crashed on a flight from Whitehorse to Juneau, Alaska killing all five on board. The plane crashed into a glacier at 4,500 ft (1,400 m).[19]
- On 19 August 1995, Douglas C-47B C-GZOF crashed on approach to Vancouver International Airport, Richmond, British Columbia killing one of the three crew. The aircraft was on a ferry flight to Prince Rupert Airport when the starboard propeller went into overspeed and the decision was made to return to Vancouver International.[20]
- On 14 August 1996, Douglas DC-4 C-FGNI crashed shortly after takeoff from Bronson Creek mine in Northern B.C. with three crew and a full load of cargo on board. On climbout No. 2 engine caught fire and eventually separated from the aircraft. The crew attempted to bring the aircraft back to land, however the aircraft couldn't maintain altitude on three engines and the crew instead landed in the creek about 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km; 1.4 mi) from the airstrip, where all three crew were able to escape the wreckage. The first officer and load master swam to shore, but unfortunately the captain was never found and presumed to have drowned.[21]

Theodore Wores (1859 - 1939)
Travel and native peoples provided a unique subject matter for the paintings of Theodore Wores. He was a child prodigy and at the age of sixteen, was one of the first students to enroll at the School of Design in San Francisco. He then headed to Munich under Frank Duveneck.
Wores would join the other "Duveneck's Boys", following their teacher and mentor around Italy and Europe. While in Venice Wores met James Whistler, who also became his most inspirational teacher.
By 1881 he was back in San Francisco, where he painted remarkably realistic portraits of the Chinese residents in the city's famous Chinatown district. A few years later he traveled to Japan, where once again, he painted the native people in realistic activities, and not idyllic of fantasized environments.
This pattern would continue for the rest of Wores' life - an exotic journey, a period of documentation and work, and then a return home. His Impressionistic style never varied, only his subject matter. Additionally, he would always work in a documentary fashion, painting portraits and landscapes of realistic scenes and activities.
His traveled to Hawaii and Samoa, staging a huge exhibition in Honolulu, which brought him a great deal of attention. After this he headed to Spain, and then back to California.
The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco destroyed his home and studio, along with a majority of his work. Wores was named as dean of the rebuilt San Francisco Art Institute, where he managed to stay put until 1913, when he took a journey to Canada to paint the Calgary Indians, and then south into the Southwestern United States to sketch and paint the Indians of the region and the pueblos around Taos.
He exhibited widely, and his works are in many major museums and collections.

Have you spent the long winter months dreaming of spending leisurely days in the garden, only to look out of the window and be overwhelmed with the work needed to get it ship-shape?
This could be the perfect moment to consider cheap skip hire in Bristol or Bath, as it could be the incentive you need to get cracking.
What can go in a garden waste skip?
That ancient patio furniture can be gone in days, thanks to affordable skip hire than can be booked online in minutes. You can also use an easy load skip to dispose of all the organic materials like grass, twigs and weeds if the amount is too much to put in your green recycling bin.
But the beauty of skip hire is you can even use it to get rid of any stones, bricks, rubble, old plant pots and other materials lurking in your garden.
Just think how much better your view will be if you get out there and get rid of all the dead or dubious plants, give those lawns a good trim and take action against any weed infestations. Tatty shed and play equipment can be disposed of with ease. Chop back some of the undergrowth, remove all that debris and throw it in your skip, so you can make space for that barbecue area or the new patio you dreamed of.
Skip hire to save money
Paying someone to clear the garden could be costly, so find yourself family and friends who are willing to lend a hand, and a hire a skip for garden waste, as it works out far cheaper. Your volunteers can then enjoy a nice cold drink in your lovely garden on the next warm day.
Skip to suit you
It doesn't matter whether it's a small backyard or palatial grounds, you can get the size of skip you need, and you can hire it for a day or for longer; you decide.
Check the skip hire price list and size options, and either book online or ring and ask for advice.

Special to The PREVIEW
If you have ever attended a Curtains Up Pagosa (CUP) production, you were no doubt amazed at how professional-looking the community theater can be.
CUP offers the opportunity for amateur actors to step on stage and work with professional directors and a live pit orchestra to produce fabulous shows recently shown on Broadway. This year's production of "Shrek The Musical" will be no exception. Auditions are scheduled for Friday, April 17, from 2 to 7 p.m. in the high school music room.
You don't have to be a pro or even have experience as an actor to audition for a CUP production. However, you should have some skills as a singer, be able to move and dance with relative ease and not be afraid to play "make believe" as you create your stage character. CUP's directors, Dale Johnson (stage and production) and Sally Neel (music), will guide you through the rest. And be prepared to have a lot of fun as you meet new people and create fabulous entertainment for our Pagosa community.
Lead roles include Shrek, a large green ogre with an Irish brogue; Princess Fiona, who ages from youth to adult (three people of different ages); Lord Farquaad, can be adult or older youth whose character is made to appear extremely short by putting him on his knees throughout play (knee pads provided); Donkey, an extremely funny character with an attitude; Gingerbread Man (or Girl), storybook character; Pinocchio (male or female), storybook character.
Other roles include a menagerie of storybook characters (nonspeaking or one-line roles), Mama and Papa Ogre, speaking roles can be doubled to play other roles as well; castle guards, one or two speaking roles with a company of nonspeaking roles.
There is plenty of singing and dancing in this fun-filled production. Those planning to audition should prepare a song, preferably sung by memory, though music may be used if needed. Bring a copy of the music for the accompanist who will be provided by CUP. Candidates will also learn a short dance break that will be taught when you arrive. A short reading from the script will also be a part of the audition.
"Shrek The Musical," based on the movie, is pure comedy from start to finish. A large green ogre, an outcast of society finds his secret domain invaded by a large host of fairy-tale characters who have been evicted from the Kingdom of Duloc by the evil King Farquaad. The king threatens to kill them should they ever return because they are "freaks." Shrek, in order to regain his privacy and get them off his property, agrees to defend them against the king.
With music that reflects the charm and delight of our favorite childhood fairy tales, "Shrek The Musical" carries an important message as well. All the characters are considered outcasts who must find their way to self-acceptance.
The show will run June 25, 26 and 27; July 2, 3 and 5 (Sunday matinee).
So, don't be shy. Put on your dancing shoes, warm up your vocal cords and come and audition to be a part of the CUP community of actors.
"We promise to make auditions fun and painless," said director Dale Johnson. "We hope to see a lot of new faces. Casting is open to ages 6 to seniors. Come show us what you can do."

Postponing Test Breakage
Element identification is a well-known problem for test automation engineers. recheck addresses this problem in an interesting and unique way. The Golden Master-based Difference Testing approach brings various benefits with it: it basically saves a complete copy of the last working state. Now after a breaking change, that copy can be used as a reference and for comparison. Now, e.g. if the label was used for identification, and the label changed, we can simply have a look in the old version (the Golden Master) and see which element has the given label. Then, using other identifying attributes like its XPath, ID, name, class and others, we can find the corresponding element with a different label in the current state. It is even better: not only do we have redundant information that we can easily keep up to date, thanks to the recheck.cli We also have a much more complete picture, i.e. all other elements that were on the website in the previous state. This allows for an easy 1-on-1 assignment of all elements, enabling a very robust element identification.
To use this functionality, we can simply change an explicit checking test in the following way:
private RecheckDriver driver;
private RecheckWebImpl re;
public void setUp() {
re = new RecheckWebImpl();
driver = new RecheckDriver( new ChromeDriver() );
Now instead of using the regular generic
RecheckImpl, we use an adapted
RecheckWebImpl and wrap the regular Selenium driver into a special
RecheckDriver, that also is an instance of
RemoteWebDriver. This way, maximal compatibility to other third party tools and test frameworks is ensured. Next, we can create a test that shows the functionality.
For that we can use an example page from the Selenium project itself. We can download the
formPage.html from the Selenium GitHub repository. Save it into your test resources folder (
src/test/resources) Let's create a matching test for it. It could look like so:
public class MyUnbreakableTest {
RecheckDriver driver;
public void setup() {
driver = new RecheckDriver( new ChromeDriver() );
public void check_order() throws Exception {
String url = Paths.get( "src/test/resources/formPage.html" ).toUri().toURL().toString();
public void tearDown() {
Now we execute this test twice (using e.g.
mvn test). The first execution will fail as there is no Golden Master to compare against, but recheck will create the Golden Master while doing so. The second time we execute this test, it should pass.
We then want to edit the HTML code of the page and change the used identifiers of the elements the test interacts with. So, we edit the
formPage.html file and change the lines 15-19 from
<form method="get" action="resultPage.html" name="login">
<input type="email" id="email"/>
<input type="number" id="age"/>
<input type="submit" id="submitButton" value="Hello there"/>
to something like
<form method="get" action="resultPage.html" name="newLoginName">
<input type="email" id="userEmail"/>
<input type="number" id="numberOfLifeYears"/>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Hello there"/>
Because these identifiers are used in the test, this would tip of a typical Selenium test and make it fail without an actual problem in the web site-what is usually referred to as "breaking the test". To showcase and verify this problem, we can simply change the used driver to the default
ChromeDriver and comment out the recheck-specific
capTest() method call (using
//). Executing this test with a quick
mvn test -Dtest=MyUnbreakableTest results in the dreaded
Now let's redo this with our original test using the
RecheckDriver and execute it. It will still fail, but this time due to differences in the checks (as you would expect) and not due to elements not being found anymore. You can verify this by simply ignoring all differences. To do so, edit the
.retest/recheck.ignore file and add
attribute-regex=.*. This will ignore all attribute changes, including changes to
id and
name. If you re-execute your test, it will now pass.
However, if you have a closer look to the log output that is printed to the console during execution, you can see that it will now contain a message similar to the following:
*************** recheck warning ***************
The HTML name attribute used for element identification changed from 'login' to 'newLoginName'.
retest identified the element based on the persisted Golden Master.
If you apply these changes to the Golden Master , your test retest.first.steps.FirstOrderTest will break.
Use `By.name("newLoginName")` or `By.retestId("form-26008")` to update your test FirstOrderTest.java:30.
This means that the
RecheckDriver caught the
NoSuchElementException. It then loaded the persisted Golden Master and found the element within it on the basis of the old version. Then it created the 1-on-1 assignment as shown above. It was able to correctly associate the new with the old element, used this new element in the test and continued. If you now apply that change to the Golden Master, recheck will no longer be able to identify the element based on the outdated identification criteria so you have to update your test when you apply the change.

August 25, 1990, Section 1, Page 29Buy Reprints
Harold Masursky, the former chief scientist of the United States Geological Survey's Center of Astrogeology and a leader in lunar and planetary exploration, died yesterday at his home in Flagstaff, Ariz. He was 66 years old.
He died after a long illness associated with diabetes, said a spokesman for the center, at Flagstaff.
In the 1980's, as the leading geologist on lunar and planetary missions, he had a major role in bringing the Magellan space project into being, a mission now under way for mapping the planet Venus.
Dr. Stephen Saunders, the chief scientist for the Magellan project at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said Mr. Masursky's knowledge and friendship would be missed.
In the 1970's, Mr. Masursky led the first team to map the planet Mars and took part in the search for life on that planet. These maps were used as guides in the selection of sites for landing the unmanned Viking spacecraft on Mars in the summer of 1976. In the 1960's, he was a leader in the lunar exploration program.
Tools for Exploring Space
''Few individuals have had as widespread an effect on the U.S. planetary exploration program as he did,'' said Laurence Soderblom, a colleague of 20 years. Mr. Soderblom was the deputy team leader of the Voyager project to explore the outer solar system in the late 1970's and 1980's in which Mr. Masursky was a leading figure.
As Mr. Masursky became expert at interpreting photographs of the Moon taken by unmanned spacecraft and applied the same expertise to Mars, he said of his work: ''We've done the same thing for Mars as the guys of the survey did for the American West. No one really knew what was out there, and so they went out and mapped the West. Those maps were the tools for exploring the West. These maps of ours are the tools for exploring Mars.''
He joined the center in 1963 as chief scientist. Earlier he had been with the United States Geological Survey in Denver and Menlo Park, Calif. He retired last December.
Winner of Numerous Awards
Mr. Masursky won many awards in reconition of his efforts. Among them was the National Air and Space Museum Award for leadership and excellence in planetary exploration and several National Aeronautics and Space Administration awards for exceptional scientific achievement, the most recent in 1988.
He belonged to a number of professional groups, including the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, the American Astronomical Society and the International Astronomical Union.
Mr. Masursky was born in Fort Wayne, Ind., and graduated from Yale University.
He is survived by his wife, Leslie Alexander; two daughters, Lisa Luth of Provo, Utah, and Danielle Masursky of Bound Brook, N.J.; two sons, Leo of Tucson, Ariz., and Noah of Pittsburgh, Pa.; three sisters, Charlotte Schuster of Houston, Tex., Rose Sandler of Bellevue, Wash., and Jane Levy of Lima, Ohio, and two grandchildren.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly known as Zaire and a Belgian colony, is mainly popular among tourists who are keen to visit the tropical rainforest. It is always hot and humid in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The best time to travel to the country depends on which part of it you wish to visit: north or south of the equator. Most rain falls between May and September in the north and between September and May in the south.
Visa to the Democratic Republic of Congo
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Francophonie of the Democratic Republic of Congo wishes to inform the Congolese community living in Belgium as well as the Belgians and European citizens residing in Belgium that for entry visa for the Democratic Republic of Congo, one is free to address him/herself to the Chancellery Embassy of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Brussels.
Kinshasa is truly a whirlwind of a city where everything is bigger, better, faster and more chaotic. Although it may be a daunting destination with a turbulent past, the city has a magnetic energy that makes it an intriguing place to visit.

These pastel-coloured pools in the Utah desert are actually used by miners to make fertiliser (though we could have sworn they were making crayons).
By pumping water deep into the ground, the miners are able to unlock buried deposits of potassium, which rise to the surface and form into crystals when the water evaporates in the hot sun.
The range of colours signify ponds in different states of evaporation. Who knew mining could be so pretty?

German Car Rental Company Expands to Las Vegas
Car Rental & Rail Rich Thomaselli February 14, 2014
One thing Las Vegas has a lot of – options.
Add the car rental category to that mix.
Starting today, the German rental car company Sixt is expanding its position in North America and opening a new rental car station in Las Vegas as part of its global expansion strategy.
The station covers an area of 1,000 square meters and is located centrally at the McCarran Airport Car Rental Center. The relatively unknown Sixt offers up a large selection of premium vehicles from German and American automakers, including BMW, Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Jeep, and Dodge.
Convenience and service are the top priorities at the new station. After completing their trip, customers can save themselves the hassle of looking for a gas station nearby and instead fill up at Sixt's own gas station before dropping off their car.
Customers looking for premium service can also take advantage of Sixt's exclusive Concierge Service. Sixt's concierge will provide help with travel planning as well as information about current events, restaurants, bars, and places to shop in the desert city. While the Sixt team takes care of the car rental formalities, customers can relax at the Sixt Lounge and enjoy small snacks and coffee specialties while they wait.
Headquartered in Pullach, Germany, near Munich, Sixt specializes in transportation for business and corporate clients as well as private customers.

I've learned something astonishing through the use of my music business page on Facebook:
When I take out an advertisement (Facebook Ad) I get feedback as to how people interact with my post.
I recently had a paid ad post which was "engaged" or "viewed" by over 40,000 people.
According to the follow-up Facebook report, OVER 95% of those people accessed the ad by using a mobile device.
Only 5% used a standard computer.
I wonder: can OC thrive or even survive without having a user-friendly app developed for mobile devices?
Also, if a special fund were to be established to fund the development of such an app, would you be willing to contribute to the fund, and if so, approximately how much would it be worth to you in a one-time donation?
I do not have the right to solicit funds or even establish this as a fund to which others can contribute.
I'm asking preliminary questions so that the community can have the chance to discuss the matter, and see if anyone else believes this is an important issue for us.
In Christ Jesus,
God bless you Gordy for always being there and keeping the faith as many of us fail.
This needs to be reseached and a prority!
GOD BLESS- Wynn
Wynn ~ Thimios
Hi Gordie
Wow, I had totally forgotten about OrthodoXCircle. I had to reset my password to get back into the site. An app might be a great addition. I really have not been around on this site to know who is still active.
Thanks for your replies, John and Wynn!
I remember when we used to interact with each other almost daily.
May God bless and lead us as we consider the possibilities.
Dear Gordie,
Thank you for your enduring support of OC and constructive ideas. OC actually did have an app on the Apple store. The app was launched in 2014. The company that helped me develop it ended up closing its doors. So I had to take it offline because I didn't have the needed technical and financial support to continue development and improvements.
Recently, the site underwent another visual redesign which you are seeing now. There are still some bugs here and there that need to be fixed (much like yours truly) but the nice thing about this new design is that it is responsive. Responsive design means that the site and everything it offers can be viewed on various screen sizes, including your smartphone's browser (safari or chrome) as well as tablets, laptops and of course large computer monitors. The site simply resizes to the screen it is being viewed on. On very small screens, e.g. smartphones, some other navigation elements appear to make the site menu and any content in the left and right columns accessible.
So, in other words, it is my hope that this new, responsive design version of the site which makes OC accessible via any mobile device, tablet or computer, makes having an app unecessary.
The other challenge with developing an app and maintaining it on an ongoing basis, is that any new features which I may dream up have to be developed twice...once for the website version and again for the app version, because these are two different technologies. The cost of ongoing app development makes this difficult for me since, as you know, OC is completely self-funded, with the exception of a few generous donors such as yourself. Therefore, my ongoing development of this new design includes incorporating many mobile-friendly elements. For example, if you login to the site from your mobile browser or tablet, you can now playback the audio/songs that members upload. Before, the player was using Flash technology which wasn't supported by iOS.
The chat is another feature that wasn't possible before on the previous version of OC and even through the app. The new chat can also be accessed on any mobile device.
As you know, OC has been a labor of love for a long time. I ask the Lord to bless my work and make this ministry a helpful resource for the faithful. But I also realized some time ago that another social network is simply not enough. Facebook does a great job and many Orthodox people, ministries and churches use it to their advantage. While OC will always provide a similar social networking experience as one can find on Facebook (without the ads and tracking) , my new goal is to transform OC into a place we can learn about the Orthodox Faith through emerging media. I need your prayers and support because the things I want to do will require financial resources.
For the next couple of weeks, I'm working on getting all the bugs fixed and making sure the site is functioning properly on every device. I am also looking into forming a non-profit for OC so that I can apply for grants and solicit donations on a more substantial level.
I also believe in keeping a grass-roots approach as much as possible. Members of OC that want to support my work and the new offerings on the horizon will have an opportunity to pitch-in through forthcoming fundraising appeals.
Thank you again for bringing up this topic and rallying support for OC. Please take some time to try out the site on a mobile browser and write to me with any feedback or bugs you find.
Wishing you all a Blessed New Year!
Fr. Ninos
It seems (on Android smartphone) the only way I can reply, dear Father, is to choose "quote".
Still, you are correct in that the site does resize well on smartphone.
Perhaps one option is to share the site mobile link with as many Orthodox friends as possible.
Unfortunately, this text box is difficult to use, so I hope my reply gets through.
In Christ, Gordie.
(Snip for space
I would be willing to contribue! I would love to have OC on my Iphone to access during my breaks at work, etc.

One of the best issues about this ride is the surroundings it takes you through. You get to ride through riparian habitat, past some instead in depth piles of river rock (still left over from dredging the river for gold), and some open up meadows.It might be good compared to usual bikes but they are a lot costly compared to normal types as well. Actually since we are now of an sophisticated technologies there is nothing would be impossible. Numerous experienced discover suggestions to eliminate this problem, and now they have arrive up to an concept of using your usual bike into an electric bicycle. In this case, you will not be in a position to spend that big just to personal an electrical bicycle. This creation and a good concept is what they call the electrical bicycle package.The typical Road Bikes are as well higher for a lady, with a normal constructed. Normal bikes have high handlebars that are difficult to attain. Consequently, if you are in search for the perfect women's road bicycle, you must usually be aware of the bicycle's dimension that you are about to buy. A check generate of the bike you want to have before buying is also a great concept. Discovering the right kind of bike for you is essential in purchase to steer clear of obtaining into any kind of bicycle accidents.People that are on budget are discovering it difficult to choose a street bicycle that has a affordable cost. Most bikes that are available in bicycle marketplaces are mostly expensive that is why not all people are able to buy the bike they wanted. The costs of bikes from bicycle businesses generally begin in $600. Customers are discouraged to see that their aspiration bicycle to be so costly. A truly nice Mountain Bikes On Sale At Dicks has a price that ranges from $300 to $500, the good factor is Fuji road bikes is not one of them.In the wide world of outdoor sports and hobbies, there is some thing out there for everybody of any track record to appreciate. This does not imply, however, that they are not with out their personal issues. Consider mountain biking, for occasion.Before you know it you are arguing more than that becoming an eland or a kudu, whether or not or not her son truly likes broccoli, what ever happened to that beautiful Shelley woman he dated in higher school and how you wear too much make up for a safari.Weather you're in the mood for a road or Mountain Bikes On Sale At Dicks ride, autumn is the perfect time to go. Capture the end of summer journey by discovering new trails and paths before the snow starts to fall. Whilst the temperature does give 1 a small nip initial factor in the early morning, there is a freshness to the air that will give even the most bronzed cheeks a little bit of rose.They provide XTERRA Utah in two distances. The complete distance race will be 1500m swim / 28km Mountain Bike and a 10km trail run. The sport length will be a 750m swim / 19K Mountain Bikes On Sale At Dicks and a 5K trail operate race held in conjunction with the Usa Championship occasion. All athletes can select to contend in the XTERRA Utah race as a group or as individuals. This race is ideal for nearby citizens looking for the XTERRA encounter.As a good rule of thumb I suggest fifty psi for an e-bike that will be used for cruising about city for an typical rider excess weight. For a lighter rider 40-45 psi and for a heavier rider 55-sixty psi.If you are fixing your tire at home (as opposed to out on the street), prop your bicycle up on your bike repair stand if you have 1. If you are on the road, make sure you are totally off the road and in a safe location. Before you take the wheel off the bike, switch your gears down to your smallest cog and then pop the whole wheel right off. You can let the remaining air out of your wheel by using your fingers to squeeze about the tire. Use your fingers to pull the tire back again away from the rim so to break the seal between your tire and the rim, and now stick your tire lever between the metal rim and your tire and then pull the tire lever all around the rim so that the sides of the tire are no longer held by the rim.Man is by no means satisfied with what he has. He usually wants to have much more and more. He retains on applying mind to invent some thing new to get more services and to make lifestyle smooth, so he went to make modifications to the bicycle to an extent that today made a bike for function with electrical as a gas, which was named electric bikes. This new kind of transport has now become popular the whole world. Essentially this bicycle, which is slightly heavier than the typical bicycle, which is moving ahead to accelerate.Anyone who plans to commute to work on their bicycle ought to consider investing in a street bike. Road Bikes have been designed for pace alongside paved paths, and it is usually very best to purchase a bicycle that has a number of speeds to choose from. Nevertheless, a hybrid bicycle may also be appropriate. This type of bicycle will work well on the streets and on dirt.

I'm going to get right to the point with this one – I'm about to freeze my tush of this weekend. Winter storm Jonas is coming with full force, and the threat of it alone has people buying out the shelves at Trader Joes. Not kidding, even the line to get in the store was 30 minutes long. I tend not to freak out as much as others once I'm sure that I have enough wine to get me through the snow-in.
But trust me this here is better than #allthedamnwines. My darling friend who owns a sauce and spice empire ( can you say #bossbabe?) sold me a jar of her Essiespice Tamarind Oh! sauce.Now were do I begin? She is literally bottling gold and selling it! It's so good! I'm excited to try out her other sauces and come up with recipes using them – keep on the lookout!
What you need:
1 oz Essiespice Tamarind Oh! sauce
1.5 to 2 oz lime juice
3 oz whiskey
1tsp vanilla bean paste
0.5 oz brown sugar simple syrup
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake shake shake it up! Pour into a lowball glass over ice and serve.
The depth of flavors in this drink blew my mind and I'm sure it'll amaze you too. Besides theres whiskey in it and you probably need to warm up.
Do you have a favorite snowy day cocktail? Tell me in the comments!
Stay warm.

Lawmakers voted 344 to 81 on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which broadly lays out policy and spending rules for the Pentagon and the military branches.
The bill would authorize $621.5 billion for the Pentagon's base budget and Energy Department nuclear programs and $75 billion for war funding, known as the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account. In addition, the bill takes $10 billion in OCO dollars to pay for base budget needs.
Only eight Republicans voted against the legislation, which passes Trump's defense request of $603 billion.
The bill has a few roadblocks ahead of it, with the biggest issue in the form of spending caps as stipulated by the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA). That act sets the Pentagon base budget as no higher than $549 billion. Lawmakers must either repeal the BCA or increase its budget caps.

Thrift Spotlight: Lindsay Gorman, Part I
Last week we learned about Melissa Anne Company and Melissa's photography strategy of smaller items and sunny rooms (click here to read it), and now we explore the styles and photography of Lindsay Gorman.
She first came on our radar as someone to feature when she tagged @GoodwillMinnesota in this post on her Instagram account (you can also find her Tumblr page here):
The production quality of the photos made us take pause (although we definitely appreciate any and all photos tagging us on Instagram).
We reached out to find out more about her, her photography, and her Goodwill shopping strategy:
Your blog and Instagram feeds are made up of amazing photos. How do you choose where and what you're going to shoot?
Thank you! I try to shoot in places that have good light and different background options. I go back and forth between preferring natural settings or city settings. As far as what I'm going to shoot – I prefer to shoot portraits. The outfit becomes a big part of that. When it comes to outfits, I love color, layers, and accessories. More is more in my book!
How do you work thrifted items from Goodwill into your shoots?
I love Goodwill because their items can't be found anywhere else. I'm always trying to create unique images, and having unique clothing items really helps.
Wowee wowee! @carterwdick Hat: @chapelhats_moa Dress: @francescas Coat: @goodwillminnesota Lip: LBB @colourpopcosmetics

Why do you shop at Goodwill? Why would you choose us over other thrift stores?
Goodwill is well organized and consistently has quality items. I go there because I know I can find items that are one-of-a-kind.
Thanks for sharing your Goodwill experience, Lindsay! Stay tuned for Part II of of our conversation with Lindsay Gorman next week, as we learn about some of her favorite Goodwill finds and more about her strategy for photo shoots.

Terry Cummings, who lives in Montclair, N.J., is a lawyer with a firm in New York City. After a heart problem in 2006, she decided to face her lifelong gender dysphoria, a psychological discomfort with her sex, and
make the change from male to female.
Second Chance
She said that she considers the sex-reassignment surgery essentially a rite of passage, but she said it would not change her life. It will, however, have a great impact on her feeling of wholeness and her mental well-being.
"I was more scared than excited to go through that initial change," she said. "But as time wore on, the joy of living a truthful life instead of living a lie really hit me harder and harder, and now I look forward to getting up in the morning every single day and experiencing life in femaleness."
Chang W. Lee, a photographer for The New York Times, is exploring transformations in people's lives, in still photographs and videos. The videos are online at nytimes.com/cityroom.
For some of those profiled, it is their first true chance. For others, their last chance. Essentially, though, these second-chance stories are portraits of one individual's struggle and triumph to truthful self-existence.

FTC: We're Investigating Facebook's Consumer Privacy Practices
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or any federal agency, rarely confirms an ongoing investigation. But the FTC is confirming that it's investigating the social media giant's privacy practices in the wake of Facebook's potentially illegally misuse of personal data belonging to millions of Americans – read more about the california consumer privacy act.
In a statement, the acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, Tom Pahl, said the following:
"The FTC is firmly and fully committed to using all of its tools to protect the privacy of consumers. Foremost among these tools is enforcement action against companies that fail to honor their privacy promises, including to comply with Privacy Shield, or that engage in unfair acts that cause substantial injury to consumers in violation of the FTC Act. Companies who have settled previous FTC actions must also comply with FTC order provisions imposing privacy and data security requirements. Accordingly, the FTC takes very seriously recent press reports raising substantial concerns about the privacy practices of Facebook. Today, the FTC is confirming that it has an open non-public investigation into these practices."
Earlier this month, reports in the New York Times and the Observer of London indicated UK-based political consultancy, Cambridge Analytica, had been able to buy data on 50 million Facebook users in 2015 to use for micro-targeting political advertising.
The consultancy has been linked to the Donald Trump presidential campaign. The data had extracted from a third-party survey app running on Facebook's platform. The data in question was pulled on the friends of the 270,000 respondents who answered the survey.

My #TIES15 experience kicked off with a learning session on the utilization of TouchCast which is an iOS application that can be used as an interactive video platform. The end product can then be distributed to engage and enhance communication in our school community. For an example of the use of TouchCast please view the video below.
As I was learning from Chris Turnbull of St. Paul Public Schools, I developed a list of ways to utilize TouchCast for communication purposes. Although this list is long, it is not all encompassing.
- Chromebook Deployment and Student Experiences
- Scarlet Letter Book Talk - HS English Class
- Math Mountains in 1st or 2nd Grade
- High School Social Studies Debate
- Paraprofessional School View
- Custodian Pride
- Kitchen Staff Nourishment
- Caring Clerical Staff
- Teacher Pride
- Upcoming Events
- Boastful Bits
- Board Happenings
Later in the day, Mr. Erler (#JWP Elementary Principal) and I engaged in a workshop that focused on the Chromebook Classroom. We learned about a variety of extensions that make life easier for teaching, learning and leading. Some of those extensions that I discovered were "Send with Gmail" and "1-Click Timer". Each of these added efficiencies to my specific leadership. Here was a nice google video shared:
On Sunday morning I joined a former colleague, Holly Christian (@hchristian) in a Blogger and Google+ workshop. We learned a variety of techniques to improve our educational blogs and communication strategies. The instructors also provided us with solid information in terms of improving efficiencies when utilizing social media to promote our work. One Chrome extension they suggested was "Buffer". For instructional leaders and innovators, you need to seriously consider downloading this extension and utilizing it when wanting to share articles discovered online.
Sunday afternoon's learning session was experienced with both Mr. Erler and Mr. Babcock (HS Principal). This session was lead by Dr. Tony VonBank and was focused on innovative leadership in school districts. The room was filled with outstanding educational leaders from the great states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Dr. VonBank shared several talking points regarding Innovation Game Planning. He did a great job creating an interactive environment. One of the points that I felt resonated the most with me was that we need to be the leaders of learning. If we, as instructional leaders, are expecting staff to implement technology tools in classroom instruction, we must lead by example. Period.
In addition, this guy was spotted in the classroom learning right along side us...
Nice to have you present @gcouros!
I can honestly report that I went four for four on the day which is not only great for Joe Mauer! Each of the sessions I attended was outstanding and filled with rich content to inspire my work as an educational leader.

GPs condemn minister's plan for 24-hour access
GP leaders have condemned a plan to ensure all Welsh practices offer 24-hour access to a GP within four years.
GPC Wales chair Dr Andrew Dearden said the target announced by Welsh Assembly health minister Jane Hutt was unrealistic and would lead to 'extra strain and work'.
He added: 'The politicians set
targets for others, usually to improve things or to look good. It might be nice that with the right to set targets, they also assumed the responsibility for helping to achieve them.'

Regardless of how new your own home is or how vigilant you might be about maintenance, drywall ceiling repair is one thing that can need to be performed all through your property at one time or one other. Lower a sq. of drywall barely bigger than the outlet. Now, screw your drywall patch to the wooden cleats, again being cautious not to break the drywall's paper coating. Utilizing a degree, measure a straight line throughout the top and bottom of the broken section.
Sink the screws beneath the floor of the drywall. If you're patching a lot of holes and different harm, prime the patched walls earlier than repainting – especially if you're choosing a semi-gloss or shinier end. (It's not vital to strengthen the horizontal edges of the alternative drywall.) Secure the 2x4s to the drywall with drywall screws (image 4). Set the brand new drywall into the hole and safe to the 2x4s with screws.
The drywall in most homes is ½-inch thick. Apply joint tape to the borders of the patch. Test paint on a small area of your wall to ensure the colour will match. After the compound dries, add a second thin coat of compound over the taped space. Apply a thin layer of drywall compound to the seams and cover with mesh tape, bedding the tape in the drywall compound.
For holes up to about six inches across, quite a lot of drywall patch kits are available. If the tape is unbroken and properly-adhered, the crack was most likely caused by the outdated drywall compound drying and shrinking. Where a number of screws are placed in a row, spot-patch every with compound and cover them with a strip of fiberglass tape as described in the steps above (picture 3).
Cowl the tape and taper or feather" the sides of the brand new compound onto the surrounding wall floor (picture 5). Drywall compound must be applied in a number of skinny layers as a result of thicker layers are too difficult to clean out and can ultimately cause cracking.

Here's How Men Think about Women Differently After 40
New science says they get increasingly pickier.
Most studies that cover online dating suggest that women are much more selective in picking partners than men, a fact attributed to evolutionary science. But a new study published in Psychological Science claims that how picky the sexes are as they get older isn't as clear-cut as it may seem.
In the largest ever behavioral economic analysis of Australian online dating, researchers from the Queensland University of Technology analyzed 41,936 members of the online dating website RSVP during a four-month period in 2016 and made a surprising discovery.
"We found that women are more specific than men in their preference up until the age of 40, then males become pickier than females from 40 years-old onwards," lead author Stephen Whyte said in a university newsletter.
Studying an age group that ranged from 18 to 80, the researchers found that, in keeping with previous studies, women are more likely to seek a mate that has a level of education equal or higher to them while at peak fertility. Past the age of 40, however, men apparently become more picky about the education levels of a potential partner than women.
"Evolution favors women who are highly selective about their mates and in many cultures, women have been shown to use education as an indicator of quality because it is often associated with social status and intelligence—both attributes that are highly sought after," Whyte said. "Previous online dating research has demonstrated similar or higher women's preference for education level in a mate but as our data encompasses a range of ages between 18 and 80, we are able to comprehensively show how those preferences change across the reproductive life cycle."
The findings corroborate with recent research that indicates that the qualities that women make men attractive to women depend on their reproductive goals. For example, one recent study found that women are more likely to choose a square-jawed, testosterone-heavy man for a short-term sexual fling, but prefer men with "feminine" features that indicate trustworthiness as life partners. Other research has pointed to the fact that women like men who are their age or older, whereas men prefer 23-year-olds regardless of their own age, which is probably why a man's likelihood of cheating increases with age.
None of this sounds particularly great to women who are worried they are going to eventually "age out" of sex, but there's good news. Recent studies have shown that there a plenty of senior women enjoying great sex lives, and there are loads of female celebrities over the age of 65 who prove that age is just a number.

Southeast Asian nations are riding a global trade boom that's set to underpin solid economic growth next year, supporting the region as it embarks on monetary policy tightening and braces for a spate of elections.
The Philippines and Vietnam will remain the star performers in 2018, with economic growth projected to exceed 6% again, according to the median forecasts of economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
Most of the region's top six economies are set to sustain 2017 momentum, with growth in Indonesia seen mildly firmer at 5.3% next year, while Singapore and Malaysia will probably moderate.
Export-reliant Southeast Asia is ending 2017 on a high note, counter to fears at the start of the year that a US-China trade war could blow up supply chains and send the region into disarray. Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore all posted third-quarter gross domestic product growth that was faster than at any time since 2014 and earlier.
While growth may ease from this year's breakneck pace, the expansion that's been concentrated in trade-dominated industries, such as manufacturing, should broaden out to other sectors in the economy. Combined with a benign inflation outlook, that's set to support a gradual pace of monetary policy tightening across the region.
Here's a rundown of what to watch for in the region next year:
Monetary Policy
Central banks in the Philippines and Malaysia are seen as the two most likely to raise interest rates next year, while Singapore may also move away from its neutral policy stance. It's less clear what Indonesia and Thailand will do.
Morgan Stanley economists predict the Bank of Thailand will probably stay on hold in 2018, with Bank Indonesia raising rates. It's vice versa for Credit Suisse Group AG economists, who predict Indonesia will stay on hold and turn to macroprudential measures to spur lending, while Thailand is seen hiking.
Fiscal Plans
Governments across the region—particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia where economies are more reliant on domestic sources of growth than exports—are spending more on road, rail and port projects to expand capacity, helping to underpin growth.
To keep their budget deficits in check, authorities are pushing to boost revenue from taxes. Philippine lawmakers last week ratified a tax bill that cuts some income taxes while raising levies on coal, vehicles and other goods. Indonesia is clamping down on tax dodgers, while Singapore is considering adjustments in its budget next year.
Consumer Recovery?
Household debt in parts of the region could hold back faster consumption and the broadening out of expansion, according to Taimur Baig, chief economist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd. in Singapore.
"The worst case is, there are some macro shocks and these households already saddled with high debt stop consuming in an exuberant manner, so you have a drag on consumption," he said.
Consumers in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have higher debt burdens compared to others in the region, with central banks in the latter two countries citing financial stability risks as a factor in deciding policy.
Investment Pick-Up
Business investment will be the bigger story in 2018, said Chua Hak Bin, an economist at Maybank Kim Eng Research in Singapore. While this year's big surprise was the upturn in trade, that trend typically means a boon for investment that's been languishing, as executives change their minds about global demand prospects. Fledgling projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative could help boost those figures, he said.
Political Risks
The threat of further North Korean military provocations and a series of elections add to uncertainty in the region.
Malaysia is gearing up for a vote next year, with speculation mounting it will happen before the end of May. Prime Minister Najib Razak is facing a tough contest, but has bolstered his chances of re-election with a stimulus-packed budget in October. The timing may also have a bearing on when the central bank raises interest rates for the first time since 2014, with some economists suggesting a pre-vote hike is unlikely.
Thailand's military, which has held power since a coup in 2014, said it's on course for an election in November, although doubts remain. That may influence investment decisions, with businesses remaining on the sidelines in recent years.
Indonesia is set to hold regional elections next year, which may help to boost consumers' purchasing power and provide a lift to overall spending in the economy, which has disappointed this year.
