Bouquets & Centerpieces Made of Wood
Ever thought of decorating your wedding and reception with flowers made from wood? It is a unique idea and we are so impressed with these flowers! Sola Wood Flowers offers a variety of assortments and arrangements that you can have shipped right to you in time for your special day. Not having to worry about flowers wilting or dying, they are an amazing keepsake and they look amazing too!
How can it be?
Sola wood comes from a tapioca plant root. Poinsettias plants also belong in this plant family. The tapioca plant is known by cassava, manioc, arrowroot. Cassava (Tapioca) plants grow in tropical climates. These plants are drought resistent and withstand hot temperatures.This plant is not meant to be ingested unless it is processed. Once processed, the tapioca plant is used for several different types of foods throughout the world!
The Process
Once the root is cut and peeled, the sola wood may be cut into thin layers for creating flowers. The process is very time consuming, as no machinery is used and every root is cut and peeled by hand. Once crafted into the shape and size of a flower, it can be dyed to match the color scheme or decor.
The Story
It all began after a dance recital when the owner realized there weren't any availabe flowers for purchase. She began to create and sell beautiful arrangements, all to be left on the floor and in the trash year after year at these recitals. This gave her a vision of her future and she began researching wood flowers. After a year of trial and error, she landed a pitch in front of Shark Tank and was able to sell her business she had created at that time. She then started up Sola Wood Flowers and is the sole owner with 25 employees. The Bowman Family is grateful for the journey that led them to where they are today.
Online Orders for Your Wedding
Ordering has never been easier with Sola Wood Flowers. You can place your order online, chat with an expert if you have questions, and expect your delivery within 3-5 days! They offer suggestions on how to protect and arrange your seletions as well.

By Jonathan Benson The reproductive damage caused by exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like bisphenol-A (BPA) may take several generations after initial exposure to become evident, according to new research out of Missouri.
A team of biological scientists and toxicologists determined that, even when exposure to BPA doesn't show immediate health consequences, the second, third, and even fourth generations afterwards can experience reduced fertilization and increased embryo mortality.
Using medaka, or Japanese rice fish, as test subjects, scientists evaluated the effects of BPA and several other EDCs during one week of embryonic development. They then looked at the offspring of these exposed fish throughout the course of four subsequent generations, as Japanese rice fish have shorter generations that are ideal for this type of research.
Interestingly, the first two generations of fish showed no evidence signs of reproductive abnormalities. But the third and fourth generations did, with the third generation showing a 30 percent decrease in fertilization, and the fourth generation showing a 20 percent decrease in fertilization.
None of the subsequent generations of medaka were directly exposed to BPA or the other EDCs, either. They were all indirectly exposed via their ancestors, which somehow passed down the reproductive damage caused by BPA and other EDCs to their offspring.
"BPA has been proven to mimic the function of natural hormones in animals and humans," stated Ramji Bhandari, an assistant research professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri and a visiting scientist with the USGS, and one of the study's authors, about the findings.
"Fish and aquatic organisms often have the greatest exposure to such chemicals during critical periods in their development or even throughout entire life cycles. This study shows that even though endocrine disruptors may not affect the life of the exposed fish, it may negatively affect future generations."
BPA shown to damage stem cells in human males responsible for healthy sperm production
The study, which was published in the journal Scientific Reports, is backed by earlier research on BPA, including a paper published in the online journal PLOS Genetics.
Washington State University (WSU) geneticist Patricia Hunt found that even very low-level exposure to BPA mimics the activity of estrogen inside the body. For males, this can result in decreased sperm counts and infertility over time, as well as alterations to the master stem cells responsible for producing healthy sperm.
BPA and other estrogen mimickers are "not simply affecting sperm being produced now, but impacting the stem cell population," stated Hunt about her findings. "And that will affect sperm produced throughout the lifetime."
An abstract of Hunt's study can be accessed here.
Cohort of published science proves BPA destroys fertility, but FDA refuses to acknowledge any of it
The implications of these two examples and a number of other related studies suggests that the continued use of BPA and other EDCs in metal can linings, plastic bottles, thermal paper receipts, and various other consumer products is causing long-term damage in the reproductive capacities of both humans and animals.
And yet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refuses to acknowledge the science on BPA, insisting instead that the chemical is completely "safe." The result is that millions of people continue to be exposed to this and other EDCs that could eventually render that vast majority of the population infertile several generations down the line.
Such a scenario very closely resembles the plot line of the science fiction film Children of Men, in which women all over the world somehow become "mysteriously" infertile, and one lone pregnant women is ushered to safety in order to perpetuate the continuity of the human race.

My new shawl yarn arrived Friday from Handknitting.com. It only took 2 weeks from Canada, not bad.
The yarn is Fiddlesticks Country Silk, manufactured by Fleece Artist. Everyone raves about Fleece Artist yarns, so my expectations were pretty high.
The yarn is 50% silk, 30% wool and 20% nylon. The feel is neither too soft or too scratchy. It has an incredible sheen in natural light. There is no gauge or needle size recommended on the tag. I would say the yarn is about a sport weight (although the website lists it as suitable for DK weight patterns).
The color, Marrakesh, is perfect, a blend of purple, teal, gold and green. The hank is 250 grams/800 meters. This one HUGE hank produced three equally huge balls of yarn. I was a bit concerned to discover quite a bit of vegetable matter in the yarn as I was winding it off the swift. However, it pulls out easily and does not really detract from the overall appearance of the knitted fabric.
I fully intended to finish up the Landscape shawl before starting a new one. I really only have about 10 rows or so to go until it's finished. I'm not going to have enough yarn to put the fifth texture panel in, so I'm going to end it when I complete the 4th. But now that each row is over 250 stitches, it's taking me forever to complete a row. I made a valiant effort yesterday. Put in Star Wars Episode III, figuring a good action pic might get me moving, and I did get several rows done. But I just couldn't resist the Country Silk. I decided it might be good to go ahead an swatch it. Funny how the swatch looks an awful lot like the beginnings of a shawl...
I'm making the "Thinking Woman's Shawl" found here. I love the way the eyelets start in the center then veer off to each side. I'm using US 8 needles and getting 5 1/4 stitches per inch in garter stitch. I think I could have even gone up a needle size or two for a lacier effect, but I think this will be prefect. It's nice and light weight. I'm so in love.

We went back home to the country this weekend, Matt and I had our ten year high school reunion on.
I pumped, Drank and had my first hangover in about 19 months, Going out really conformed to me that I'm happy with where my life is now. Sometimes when you are always home you can catch grass is greener fever and be envies of friends that are always out, I'm happy I had a night off, I had some fun but I am was even happier to come home to this boy.
This weekend Harper got behind the wheel of his Daddy's Cadillac, It looked something like this.

Theresa Romain writes despondent romances. Her characters are noble and good; her prose is elegant. Her hero and heroine are in a bad place when we meet them. Miss Bates likes that Romain doesn't lay the angst on thick, however. Her characters' sadness is perniciously persistent, like a low-grade fever. Things are wrong somewhere, but the appearance of things seems all right. Every time Miss Bates reads one of Romain's romances, she frequently doubts she'll finish it. And yet, each time, she does and is quite satisfied and rewarded by Romain's HEA.
Romain's latest, Fortune Favors the Wicked is typical of the author. In 1817, retired, blind Royal Navy Lieutenant Benedict Frost arrives in London, from on board "The Argent," to sell his sailing memoir to publisher George Pitman. His minimal pension means he can't offer Georgette, his sister, anything but a pittance. He hopes his soon-to-be-best-selling memoir will save the day when Georgette leaves their cousins' home upon reaching her majority. He also learns that 50 000 pounds-worth of the king's gold was stolen. When his manuscript is rejected, Benedict realizes the reward money may serve to help Georgette. He sets off for Derbyshire to recover the gold and win the reward money. Meanwhile in Strawfield, Derbyshire, we meet heroine Miss Charlotte Perry, vicar's daughter. She too aims to ensure a young relation's welfare: her ten-year-old niece, Maggie, named after Charlotte's deceased sister, Margaret. Charlotte is also in search of the gold. Benedict and Charlotte's meet-cute is inevitable.

December 11, 2005 Sermon: God Will Provide
Posted on Sat, Dec 17, 2005
December 11, 2005 Sermon: God Will Provide
Scripture: Genesis 22: 1-14
Sermon delivered by Assistant Pastor Mark Porter
Whatever you need God can and will provide. If you can't see your way out, God will provide; if sickness is all through your body, God will provide. God will provide for his own, for those called by his name. Some of you are sitting there like you don't know God will provide because if you knew, you would be running up and down these aisles.
Abraham knew God would provide. God had given Abraham a promise that he would bear a child and that he would build a nation too numerous to count. You know the story of how Abraham at 100 and his wife Sara in her 90's bore a child. The Word of God came to Abraham to take his son and offer him as a burnt offering. When we talk about God will provide, we come to know him as Jehovah-jireh. When you come into a relationship with God, there is a lesson you have to learn.
When God provides he doesn't always make sense. It might not make sense to you and me but sometimes God will just bless us and blow our minds. He will do some extraordinary things in our lives. We can hear things that seem unbelievable. Sometimes he will make you do things that make people look at you like you are crazy. You will ask God why he's making you do these things.
If you want God to do extraordinary things in your life, you need to:
1) Have some extra ordinary faith (Hebrew 11:1). Faith is a confident expectation. Taking God at his word. If he said it, it's going to come to pass. Act upon his word. His word will never perish and will never fail. Some of us can talk the faith talk but cannot walk the faith walk.
2) In addition to extra faith, it takes obedience. When God tells us to do something, some of us come up with all sorts of excuses. The Bible says Abraham rose early the next morning to go sacrifice his son. Stop trying to hold on to your insecurities. Just let go and trust God.
3) Not only do you need extra ordinary faith and obedience, there has to be some separation. Note in verse 5 Abraham told the lads that came with them to stay there while he and his son went further. In order for you to go to a new level in your new life with Christ, you have to separate from some people. You will have to leave some behind.
The Bible says Abraham took his son and laid him on the altar and raised his hand to sacrifice his son. Right before Abraham killed his son, an angel called out to Abraham and told him his faith was strong and to look over there a ram is in the thicket. Abraham began to call on the Lord.
God will provide, he will show up and he will show out. This sermon I'm preaching today is the same one I preached over 12 years ago when I first entered the ministry. I preached the Word then that God had given me. Now I can preach this sermon based on my experience. Back then I did not have a car, no job, was living with Pastor and my sister and was single. Look at me now – I have a car, a wife and a son. He's provided so much for me.
Mount Moriah was in Jerusalem, they say not far from Mount Calvary. Another sacrifice was made on that mount where a Father scarified his son. God sent his son to be a sacrifice for you and me. A perfect sacrifice – his name is Jesus – he sacrificed so that we could have eternal life.

That deal removed a major obstacle for Beatles tracks to appear on iTunes. EMI chief executive Eric Nicoli is on record as saying the music giant was working overtime to find a way to make the Beatles catalog available.Apple Corps was created by the Beatles in 1968, and the band's recordings are released under license by EMI.This week, the Beatles' London-based company announced the exit of CEO Neil Aspinall, who had worked with the band for more than 45 years.

West Palm Beach Homicide Lawyer & Attorney – Florida Homicide Lawyer & Attorney
If you, or someone you love, are facing murder, homicide, or manslaughter charges, contact attorney Nellie L. King for your immediate consultation.

Nellie King has a reputation for being an experienced, knowledgeable, creative and aggressive lawyer who represents those accused of homicide throughout the state of Florida. Contact Nellie L. King, P.A. at 561-833-1084, 24 hours a day, or fill out a form on the side of this page to schedule your free initial consultation.
Types of Homicide / Murder / Manslaughter Charges:
- 1st Degree Murder
- Felony Murder
- 2nd Degree Murder
- 3rd Degree Murder
- Manslaughter
- Vehicular or DUI Manslaughter
Elements of Murder / Homicide / Manslaughter Charges:
- First Degree Premeditated Murder – The unlawful klling of a human being when perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed or any human being. First degree murder is punishable by life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Fla. Stat.Sect. 782.04(1)(a)(1).
- Felony Murder – There are instances when an individual might be charged with First Degree Murder even if they had no intent to kill the victim. If a death occurs during the commission of a dangerous felony, prosecutors may seek a conviction based on the Felony Murder Doctrine. Florida Statutes Section 782.04(1)(a)(2) explains that the Felony Murder Rule allows prosecutors to charge someone with First Degree Murder when the death of a non-participant in the offense occurs during the commission, attempt to commit, or escape from the commission of various enumerated felonies. The list of enumerated felonies includes drug trafficking, arson, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, escape, aggravated child abuse, carjacking, home invasion robbery, and aggravated stalking, among others. As a result of this scheme, one who participates in one of the underlying offenses is deemed responsible under the law merely if a homicide occurs during the commission of the underlying crime. The state does not have to prove that the defendant intended for death to result from their actions. Felony murder theories can apply to criminal defendants who are demonstrated by the state's own evidence not to be the triggerman, when the defendant had no involvement in the planning of the homicide, and even in situations where the death is unintentional or accidental. Defending a Felony Murder charge sometimes involves defending the underlying felony the State claims the accused was participating in when the death occurred. Another recognized defense to the Felony Murder Rule is the Independent Act Doctrine. The Indpendent Act Doctrine can be a viable defense to felony murder when the homicide was not committed by the defendant, the defendant did not intend for the homicide to occur, and the killing was not part of the plan and not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the plan to commit the underlying felony. The draconian aspects of the Felony Murder Rule are obvious – to hold a person accountable for the actions of another, without any correlation between the varying levels of the parties' involvement, or level of intent, flies in the face of the age-old principle of mens rea, or 'guilty mind.' The potential punishment for a conviction based under a felony murder theory are the same as for first degree, premeditated murder – life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
- Second Degree Murder – The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by an act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind without regard to human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual. A person can be convicted of Second Degree Murder even if they did not specifically intend to kill anyone. Second Degree Murder is considered a felony of the first degree and is punishable by up to life in prison. Fla.Stat. Sect. 782.04(2).
- Third Degree Murder – The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpretrated without any design to effect death, by a person engaged in the perpetration of, or in the attempt to perpretrate, any felony other than those enumerated under the First Degree Felony Murder Doctrine above (i.e. the killing occurs during the course of a non-enumerated felony). Fla.Stat.Sect. 782.04(4).
- Manslaughter – The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification. Manslaughter allegations lack the element of premeditation associated with other murder charges. Fla.Stat.Sect.782.07(1).
- DUI Manslaughter – When a person is driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle and has a blood alcohol level over a .08, or is under the influence of alcohol to the extent their normal faculties are impaired, and, as a result of being in this condition, causes the death of another. DUI Manslaughter is a second degree felony punishable by a maximum of 15 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. Fla. Stat. Sect. 316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)(3).
- Vehicular Homicide – The killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another. Vehicular Homicide is a second degree felony punishable by a maximum of 15 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. Fla.Stat.Sect. 782.071. The charge of Vessel Homicide contains similar elements and criminal penalties. Fla.Stat.Sect. 782.072.
The State typically assigns experienced law enforcement officers and prosecutors to investigate and litigate homicide and manslaughter cases. Law enforcement typically utilizes advanced technology and complex scientific methodology when conducting homicide investigations and prosecutions. This is why it is critical to retain an experienced, aggressive and reputable homicide criminal defense lawyer to defend these type of cases.
Defense of a Homicide, Murder Case or Manslaughter
There are numerous methods and strategies Nellie L. King may employ in defending against a charge of Homicide, Murder, or Manslaughter. Homicide and Murder may be "justified" if the offense was committed out of self defense. Florida's Stand Your Ground Law may be applicable to your particular set of facts, and, if successful, your case would be dismissed by the court after a Stand Your Ground Hearing. If the use of force is considered jusitfiable under the Stand Your Ground Law, you could also be considered immune from civil liability. Fla.Stat.Sect. 776.012 and 776.032. Furthermore, Homicides and Murders may be considered excusable. An example of excusable homicide includes when the suspect was an actual and continuous victim of repeated domestic violence and killed their spouse out of a perceived threat of real and serious danger against them by their spouse. This is known as Battered Spouse Syndrome and it is a viable defense recognized in the State of Florida. Fla.R.Crim.Pro. 3.201.
Another form of excusable homicide exists when the suspect is legally insane. A finding of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGI) may be substantiated when the defendant suffers from a mental infirmity, disease, or defect and, because of this condition, the defendant did not know what he or she was doing or its consequences, OR, although the defendant knew what he or she was doing and its consequences, the defendant did not know that what he or she was doing was wrong. Fla.Stat.Sect. 775.027. Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity represents an affirmative defense and the defendant has the burden of proving the defense of insanity by clear and convincing evidence. Attorney Nellie King has litigated cases where her clients were deemed Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity, including murder cases wherein the client was committed to a Florida Hospital instead of a Florida Prison.
Misidentification can also serve as an important defense to charges of Murder or Homicide. Misidentification of the defendant is far more common than most people realize. It has been reported and studied that the least reliable type of evidence is eyewitness identification. It can be critical to fully evaluate, investigate and question the validity and strength of any witness, especially that of an eyewitness, due to the factors that can taint the identification procedure. Media attention as a result of the numerous wrongful conviction cases that have come to light through organizations such as the Innocence Project of Florida demonstrate how fallible eyewtiness identification methods can be. Throughout her career, Nellie King has challenged law enforcement protocols which can taint the process of witness identifcation endeavors. Law enforcement identification protocols which do not live up to industry best practices should be exposed and denounced both judicially and legislatively. If the goal is for law enforcement to simply clear cases by arrest, instead of solving the crime via the arrest of the actual perpetrator, then Florida is winning in this regard. Nellie King does not accept this practice, however, and continues to advocate for identification reforms in the way of proper law enforcement techniques, the use of experts, public education, and requests for adequate jury instructions in trial.
Forensic, or scientific, evidence has become essential to both the prosecution and defense of homicide cases. This phenomenon has developed as a result of TV programming such as CSI and Law and Order, as well as other media reports pertaining to wrongful convictions. This "CSI Effect" has created a situation where jurors now come to expect the state to produce a certain amount of forensic evidence before juries are willing to convict someone. DNA testing, blood splatter evidence, accident/incident reconstruction issues, entomology, ballistic testing, fingerprint analysis, and decomposition studies are but a few of the areas in which a skilled defense attorney may be called upon to address and utilize in the defense of a homicide case. Nellie King has litigated forensic issues throughout her career and engages the top experts in their field to ensure that the jury understands the real science behind the state's claims, as well as the theory of defense. Jurors are often presented with junk science by the state in an effort to bolster the state's theory of guilt. Without counsel and the right experts to challenge the methodologies employed by the state, defendants charged with serious crimes are at a distinct disadvantage.
Attorney Nellie King also investigates the actions and methods law enforcement officers utilize in investigating homicide or murder scenes to determine if the officers properly preserved all of the evidence (including DNA), questioned all the witnesses and other suspects, and whether law enforcement exerted any undue influence or pressure on witnesses to provide statements or testify in the case. Additionally, if law enforcement claims the suspect voluntarily confessed to being involved in a homicide, Attorney Nellie King thoroughly evaluates the content and circumstances of the purported confession to determine whether or not the suspect was properly advised of their Constitutional Rights prior to making statements to police and whether law enforcement employed coercive interview techniques which fail to comport with constitutional requirements.
Defenses utilized by an experienced homicide criminal defense attorney like Nellie L. King could also include an Alibi Defense. Fla. R.Crim.Pro. 3.200. Alibi defenses involve the defendant affirmatively asserting that they were at another location during the time the offense occurred and therefore had no involvement in the charged crime. Witnesses to crimes have been mistaken many times in the past or may have a motive to fabricate. Attorney Nellie L. King closely examines the witnesses' motives, backgrounds, and physical and mental stability when they claim they observed the act to determine if they have any problems with their memory, eyesight, hearing, or whether they were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
There are times when a person may be involved in a homicide, but may be improperly charged by the State with a more serious offense than they actually committed. For example, the State could improperly overcharge a person with First Degree Murder when the person's actions at most constitute Manslaughter, a lesser charge. There are times that a death occurs by accident or misfortune, but the result of the death was not the result of the criminal act of another, even though the State accuses someone of being responsible. Attorney Nellie L. King evaluates the evidence in each case thoroughly to ascertain and assess the charges and evidence and therefore determine whether the client was improperly charged for a crime they did not commit.
Nellie L. King has represented people charged with Manslaughter, Murder, and Capital First Degree Murder where the State was seeking the Death Penalty. Ms. King has also mounted serious investigations into law enforcement misconduct when law enforcement protocols and the Constitution have been dispensed with in the name of the state clearing a crime by arrest and prosecution. Attorney Nellie L. King insists that the government be held to their burden of proof, particularly when the offense involves the life, or potential death, of her client.

Before you trust your vehicle to just any Aldergrove transmission repair shop you need to know you are getting the best driveline service for your vehicle because when you need a transmission repair job done on your car it's going to be a major investment for you.
Typically an automatic repair or replacement job will cost you anywhere between $800 for a repair and can cost over $4,000 for a full transmission replacement depending on what type of vehicle you are driving.
One question you need to ask yourself before getting your car towed to and Aldergrove Transmission repair shop is how long do you plan to keep your vehicle for?
It's important to think about that because you might be better served visiting your local Aldergrove auto sales lot to get a used car in running condition versus making the investment in a transmission replacement.
If you plan to keep your vehicle for at least the next three years then it makes sense to get your transmission fixed because you know your vehicle and when you purchase a used vehicle it is a buyer beware purchase and you could face having to get several repairs done on a used vehicle.
If you simply need a vehicle that will run for about a year then you should consider purchasing a used car.
Regardless of what option you choose you should take your vehicle to an Aldergrove transmission repair shop that specializes in only transmissions and vehicle drivelines for a free inspection and quote on what the work will cost to get your vehicle road worthy again.
If you have any questions or comments about where you should take your vehicle for a transmission inspection or repair go ahead and submit them below.

This animation drawing of Mickey Mouse from Walt Disney's "The Band Concert" (1935) is the work of animator Les Clark, who was the first of Disney's "Nine Old Men." It comes from Clark's private collection and was sold at Heritage Auctions in 2006 for what seems to me a quite reasonable price. The drawing has clean lines and shading.

Omar Ameen could not sleep at home. For years, he had been shuttling between safe houses, terrified that armed men would kidnap or kill him for the crimes of his cousin Ghassan, a member of Al Qaeda. Things often worked that way in Rawah, a small village in Iraq's Anbar Province, where the Ameens had lived for generations. Tribal justice, long-running disputes: rivals denounced rivals as terrorists, and the state took care of the rest. "When you want to get revenge, you get revenge on the entire extended family," Ameen later said. He and his brothers scattered to other parts of Iraq, leaving behind vast tracts of farmland, which were eventually taken by the people who had driven them out. On a chilly evening in early 2012, Ameen sneaked into Rawah and told his friends that he was leaving Iraq forever. He begged them to come with him. "You go first, dear," one of them replied. "If everything goes O.K., we'll follow."
Ameen went to Turkey on a tourist visa, and applied for refugee status with the United Nations. He described to a U.N. representative a life of persecution from all sides. His father had been killed by Al Qaeda, he said, and one of his brothers had been kidnapped by a Shiite paramilitary group. Ameen was nearly forty, and he had wanted to leave Iraq since childhood. Only one per cent of refugees are selected for resettlement in new countries; he figured that victims of terrorism would be put at the top of the list.
Once approved, refugees have no say in where they end up: the U.N. decides whether to make a referral for possible resettlement, and when, and to which country. Ameen's wife, Khansaa, and their three young children soon followed him to Turkey, where, after two years in limbo, Ameen logged in to the U.N.'s refugee portal and found that his family had been selected to resettle in the United States. On November 5, 2014, their plane landed in Salt Lake City. He found work at a Mormon charity and at a factory that produced dietary supplements. The children enrolled in school, and Omar and Khansaa began taking English classes.
That winter, another Iraqi couple from Rawah, who were living in California, visited the Ameens' house. They spoke of the good weather and the opportunities in Sacramento; a few months later, the Ameens moved there.
Before the U.S. invasion, Ameen had worked as a truck driver, transporting cheap Iraqi oil across the desert to Jordan. It was a harrowing job; the sides of the highway were littered with the charred shells of trucks that had crashed and exploded, often with the drivers inside. Ameen learned to drive through fires as quickly as possible, terrified of burning to death. In Sacramento, he began working as an Uber driver and a delivery driver, sometimes pulling twenty-hour shifts to support his family. He also worked part time as a mechanic and became popular within the Iraqi diaspora. He and Khansaa applied for permanent-resident status and had a fourth child—an American citizen.
In July, 2018, Ameen sent a letter to his congressman, Ami Bera. "I called 2 times but I didn't get any information about when I can get my green card," he wrote. "I start having problems when I apply to the work because they asking about green cards." Bera inquired with Citizenship and Immigration Services, which replied that it was "unable to render a decision on Omar Ameen application until certain issues are resolved." Bera's office forwarded the note to Ameen on August 13th.
Two days later, Ameen awoke to the sound of pounding on his apartment door. His son rushed into the bedroom and told him that there were dozens of armed men outside, and cars with flashing lights. When Ameen opened the door, he was placed in handcuffs. Television-news crews arrived at the scene. An anonymous caller had supplied them with Ameen's address, along with a hint of the news: the Joint Terrorism Task Force had captured a high-level ISIS commander in the refugee stream.
A few miles west, in downtown Sacramento, a federal public defender named Ben Galloway heard that an Iraqi extradition case had just been made public. He skimmed through the court filings, which were heavily redacted, and learned that Ameen was accused of killing a police officer in Rawah, as part of an ISIS hit squad, a few months before he entered the United States. The government intended to send him back to Iraq, where he would stand trial for murder.
Galloway met Ameen at a federal building, where he was being held behind a mesh screen. Galloway, at six feet six, towered over Ameen by a foot. "It was a little difficult to see Omar, but quite easy to hear each other," he recalled. With the help of an interpreter, Galloway summarized the criminal complaint. Ameen listened intently, elbows on the table, head hunched forward. As he began to understand the charge, he was overcome with relief. "I wasn't even in Iraq at the time of the murder," he said. "This will be easy."
Soon after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President, he began saying that terrorist groups had infiltrated the flow of refugees into the U.S. "We have no idea where they're coming from," he said, in an interview with ABC. "This could be one of the great Trojan horses ever, since the original." Shortly before the election, he said, in a debate with Hillary Clinton, that Muslim refugees in the U.S. were "definitely, in many cases, ISIS-aligned." His son Donald, Jr., a senior campaign adviser, posted on Twitter, "If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That's our Syrian refugee problem."
Security and intelligence officials found the rhetoric absurd: refugees are the most thoroughly vetted category of people entering the U.S. Candidates are screened by the C.I.A., the N.S.A., the F.B.I., the Department of Defense, and several other agencies before they arrive. They are interviewed by Homeland Security officers who have received training in identifying lies, along with intelligence briefings about the applicants' country of origin. An office within the D.H.S. called the Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate carries out open-source and classified research on candidates from certain backgrounds. Biographical and biometric information is run through numerous databases and watch lists, including Interpol's Foreign Terrorist Fighter Database, which is informed by the collective investigative capacity of fifty-two countries. The process often takes more than a year, and any red flag is ground for rejection, with no further explanation.
The U.S. is particularly well equipped to find incriminating facts about applicants from Iraq. Between 2003 and 2011, the Department of Defense collected hundreds of millions of pages of information on Iraqis. "Some of what I have seen is really good information, and some of it cannot possibly be true," a former senior U.S. official, who has spent decades working in the Middle East, told me. "Like, some poor kid is never going to go anywhere in his life because a friend chose to diss him to a D.O.D. employee, and now he's blacklisted in the U.S. and European systems forever." The U.S. military has also collected millions of Iraqi fingerprints and iris scans. As a former member of the National Security Council told me, "If you're an intended terrorist, why would you go through that insane amount of vetting and waiting when you could literally just get a tourist visa?"

Paduang Tribe, Tachileik Mynmar
A day at Tachileik | Myanmar
When I look at my Myanmar pictures it still feels so surreal that I actually crossed the border by foot and visited this beautiful country. It was just for a day, but the whole journey to Myanmar was so worth it. It has only been a few years that Myanmar allows tourists to visit the country, even if it's just for a day. A lot of tourists use the Mae Sai border to extend their visas. They walk across the border, take a look at the market which is located at the border and then make their way back.
We actually hired a guide for the day with a tuk-tuk that drove us around Tachileik. You'll find plenty of them when you reach the Tachileik border, just try to find on with a god price and a person that speaks out to you. They don't speak English fluently, but I'm sure there are a lot of guides that will be able to understand and give you what you want. What they ask for in return is just a small amount of money.
What I do want to address is that most of the time the entrance fee is not included in the package that the guide sells you. This is how they make most of their money in Myanmar. They are not used to the tourists and they think that they can make easy money. So make sure to bring enough cash with you.
Paduang Tribe
The first portrait is a Padaung Women and it's taken at the Paduang Tribe Garden. It's a village that provides homes for refugees from the civil war, and allowing tourists into their village is how they make an income. It was very hard for me to walk around here. It seems like it is all staged for tourists and they are aware that people will photograph them. And the hardest part was to see the sadness in her eyes. It's just heartbreaking…
Here I was with my fancy dress and my expensive camera, wandering around in their village. So I tried to communicate, but only the younger girls seemed to be able to speak English, but very little. I bought some amazing wooden figures that were made by hand, and represent the hill tribe 'long neck' woman.
Some people have mixed feelings about these villages. Because they think that it is because of us as a tourist that these women keep on living like this. With the long necks which are fragile because of all the rings. But we do need to understand that it's part of their culture. And the government needs to find a respectable way for these two worlds to meet together.
I do feel like my visit was unique, a once in a lifetime experience because everything was still so authentic and untouched.

Cove officials network with Washington DC
Tue, 2014-10-21 05:00 News Staff
By DAVID MORRIS
Copperas Cove City Council members Mark Peterson, Gary Kent and Marty Smith joined City Manager Andrea Gardner in Washington last Sunday through Wednesday for the annual National AUSA convention, bending the ear of Army Vice Chief of Staff General Dan Allyn and the staff of Congressman John Carter, Roger Williams along with those from Senator Ted Cruz and Senator John Cornyn's office. During the meetings, they discussed assistance from the Federal government to authorize a proposed land swap of 300 acres from U.S. Highway 190 to FM 116 upon completion of State Highway 9. Fort Hood Garrison Commander Col Matthew Elledge supports the exchange and has requested approval and on June 4 General Milley sent a memo notifying to Army headquarters preliminary approval of the land exchange.

when my home was built instead off pouring one big concrete slab, they poured separate ones. now I have foundation issues. My concern is that if the foundation issue is corrected, how does this effect the remaining foundation of the home. I have heard that when slabs meet sometimes when foundation work is done you may have other issues. I am trying to find out what other possible issues? Will the home be leveled? Will there be cost later because of the separate slabs, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Pouring the slabs in pieces is not in and of itself a problem unless this is a pre-stressed or post-tensioned slab foundation - though if they put a construction joint in midslab they should have prepped the surface at the joint before the new pour and continued the reinforcing through the joint continuously, making it structurally basically one slab (though commonly will crack along the joint as the concrete shrinks in drying).
Each case is different - but assuming you have concrete or block wall foundation walls, then the concrete slabs generally (especially if there is a formed perimeter joint all around the edge) just sit on grade and on or above the base of the strip footer under the wall. Repair the wall in-place without moving it and it should not affect the slabs. Tilt or lift the wall up with jacks or such and the slab will almost always come up with it, leaving a gap underneath which if at all significant can commonly cause cracking of the slab due to lack of support underneath.
You do not say WHAT type of foundation problems you are haivng, but generally a Structural or Geotechnical Engineer should evaluate the problem and product the remedial design for you, which wall almost certainly be needed for a building permit anyway, and for contractors to bid and eventually build to.

Jim Martin, chief investment officer at the Trust, is among those who will be honored with the 2017 Community Award by PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation (PeaceHealth) later next month. Jim brings an investment expertise and unique relational philosophy to his role at the Trust, as well as PeaceHealth, where he is a board member. We extend our congratulations to Jim, Kaci and Laura on their awards. Read the press release from PeaceHealth.
The PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation has announced the recipients of the 2017 Sister Andrea Nenzel Friend of the Foundation Awards. These awards honor individuals and organizations that have provided exceptional service to the Foundation and the Medical Center.
There are two categories of awards: the Community Award which honors an external supporter, and the Caregiver Award which honors an internal supporter. The awards will be presented at the Foundation's annual Cascade Society Dinner at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 31, at the Vancouver Hilton.
The 2017 Community Award will be presented to Jim Martin, chief investment officer, Murdock Charitable Trust. Martin is a long-time member of the PeaceHealth Southwest Foundation Board; a member of the Foundation's Finance Committee; and a donor to the Neurosciences Campaign.
"For six years, the Foundation has been the beneficiary of Jim's wise financial counsel. He has been an outstanding board member and a generous donor. We are thrilled that Jim has agreed to accept the 2017 Community Award," says Carol Van Natta, executive director of the PeaceHealth Southwest Foundation.
The Caregiver Award will be presented to two PeaceHealth Southwest employees: Kaci Caldwell, RCS, Manager of Cardiology clinic operations and IP cardiac diagnostic services; and Laura Hall, BSN, RN, CNOR, Manager Perioperative Services, Technology, Product Improvement & Business Office.
Caldwell and Hall are the co-chairs of the annual employee giving drive at PeaceHealth Southwest, The Caregiver Campaign. Hall has led the Caregiver Campaign for a decade; Caldwell joined her as co-chair five years ago. In the past five years, employees have given more than $1 million to PeaceHealth Southwest through the Caregiver Campaign.
"The Caregiver Campaign is successful year after year largely due to the efforts of Kaci and Laura," says Van Natta. "Because of their leadership, almost 25 percent of PeaceHealth Southwest's caregivers make charitable gifts, supporting a wide range of programs and services at the Medical Center."
The Friend of the Foundation Awards were created in 2016 and are named for Sister Andrea Nenzel, CSJP, who chairs the PeaceHealth System Board. The first awards were given in 2016 to attorney Randy Grove of Landerholm Law and Dr. Alden Roberts, chief medical officer of PeaceHealth Southwest (retired).

Beverly Hills News – El Rodeo On Lockdown After Stranger Spotted On Campus
Updated: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 – 9:06 AM

"Police activity at El Rodeo School. School is currently on lockdown. Avoid the area," stated the Nixle alert, which was sent at 8:37 a.m.
BHUSD officials said that police responded immediately following reports of a stranger on campus and the school sheltered in place as a precaution.
The Courier will update the story as details become available.

Owned by:
Mark Zuckerburg and other individuals
Microsoft owns 1.3%
Digital Sky Technologies owns 10%
Although the Facebook ownership map may not look big, in fact it only consists of one other company, but they dominate the social media sphere. After researching big conglomerate companies such as Disney and GE, I realize it is in no way on the "big 6" level, but I think it has potential to reach that level. Facebook bought out the rising photo editing and sharing application Instagram while it was booming and most recently attempted to buy out the ever so popular Snapchat, signs that Facebook is entering into the business side of social media.
The "big 6" may be huge conglomerates that own consumer products, media outlets, theme parks, film productions, and so much more, but what they lack that Facebook has invested in is the future generation. Apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat have a potentially huge future awaiting them. Facebook does not have a concentration of ownership on the social media world yet, but they have and are clearly trying to attempt to monopolize the revenue of social media. Theories on why they bought Instagram consist of Facebook wanting to get rid of the leading competitor and to eventually create a revenue model for Instagram.
Facebook buying Instagram and attempting to buy out Snapchat shows an attempt at horizontal integration. If FB were to end up owning Snapchat and Twitter on top Instagram, they would have ownership across the social media sphere. The challenge with getting a monopoly on social media or of integration within the social media world is that new social media apps pop up daily and whether or not they will be successful is solely up to the users. So realistically a monopoly of this world would be impossible.
Just like with other media, especially newspaper as we discussed in class, Facebook's main revenue comes from advertisers. If FB were to dominate the social media world, companies would only want to advertise with Facebook, which would result in synergy. No other company would be able to compete in the social media world unless they had many strong investors which would be unlikely because smart investors would invest in Facebook and the companies they own because they would be the successful ones.
What's different about social media compared to news media is that the public creates the content so the fact that profit is the main goal for investors and owners has yet to cause a problem. News media only focusing on the business side results in poor content or infotainment. News media has a presence in social media, but it is completely up to the public what they post. Therefore I don't see harm in concentration of ownership, but I also don't think it is as realistic in the digital age. New application will be forever popping up and who knows which one will make it big.

| IT Support Cumbria
While many environmental groups are focused on limiting emissions from the automotive and aviation industries, it is the communications industry that is on course to generate the most carbon emissions.
Data centres already consume roughly 3% of all globally generated power and account for approximately 2% of greenhouse gas emissions – a carbon footprint equivalent to the current airline industry. However, with the ever-increasing reliance on the internet and cloud services, these figures are set to grow exponentially.
Recent predictions state that the energy consumption of data centres is set to account for 3.2% of the total worldwide carbon emissions by 2025 and could consume no less than a fifth of global electricity.
The launch of 5G and the new wave of IoT (Internet of Things) devices only serve to compound the problem. As more devices become internet connected, more data will need to be processed and stored than ever before. By 2040, storing and processing digital data is set to create 14% of global emissions.
In recent years, Integrity IT Solutions have grown to become the largest independent IT Support provider in Cumbria. We have invested heavily in our technical team who have earned us a number of accolades, including Microsoft Gold Partner and Sophos Gold Partner status. We believe that our technical knowledge is the best available and feel that it is just as important for us to lead the way in other areas too, such as in our efforts against climate change.
Therefore, from February this year, Integrity IT Solutions are committed to planting a tree for every £5000 of our turnover. Based on recent years, this should equate to around 300 trees planted each year.
Because we're based in Cumbria, we want this initiative to have a direct impact for our region, so we will plant the trees locally, rather than simply contributing to a carbon offsetting scheme.
Each tree planted helps to offset the environmental impact of the servers and data centres which are used to run the IT services we provide to our clients by consuming Co2 emissions as it grows.
The trees also provide a sustainable habitat for wildlife and will enhance the natural Cumbrian landscape.
In order to minimise our carbon footprint, we incorporate 'green computing' practices such as power management, virtualisation and recycling into our own business operations and plan to introduce a zero emissions electric vehicle to our fleet later this year, with the aim of making our business carbon neutral by 2024.
We also partner with a recycling facility which ensures that any equipment we replace is recycled once any data is disposed of to the highest security standards, instead of going to landfill.

You don't have to just imagine being able to lease any new model Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Ram, Subaru, Smart, Toyota, Volkswagen, or Volvo from just one leasing agency. NYC Car Lease has them all! Coupes, sedans, convertibles, SUVs, vans, mini-vans, trucks, off-road vehicles – each and every new model made by those great manufacturers! Now add in the fact that you'll get to lease those vehicles at the lowest price anywhere! Other leasing companies can't touch our leasing prices, and all because of one simple fact: our overhead is lower than theirs. Operating costs are always passed on to customers to pay for, so by keeping our overhead as low as possible, we're able to charge leasing prices that are as low as possible, too. One big way we go about minimizing our overhead is by refusing to have a physical car lot. Sound a little bit too simple? Well, just think about the huge costs having such a lot entails! Property costs, property taxes, property insurance, payroll for the folks who are employed at those lots, huge utility bills – and that's just a start! We save really big by not having a physical car lot, and that means you get to save as well. Besides, we have something much, much better! We have a virtual car lot! And this means incredible convenience for you!

Gifts of the season come in so many ways. An unexpected phone call from someone who is on your mind, a card or note or perhaps an email or text. A thoughtful gesture by someone. They are beautiful parts of our experience and these treasures can feel like comfort and bliss.
Recently, I learned that that my "year" based on the date, location and exact time of my birth and where the planets were at the exact moment I was born is actually in July. With the New Year upon us, I feel no great urgency to set goals or make resolutions, but I do feel an incredible urge to reflect on the gratitude that my journey offered in 2017 and hold space for it. I created a place, at the beginning of last year to write down all my moments of gratitude each day.
So today, on this cold winter day, with a cup of tea, I happily unfold each tiny slip of paper, to be provided with a returning gift, as each comment or word settle in and make me smile.
There is so much to appreciate. We all know that.
Life offers us amazing opportunities in the very best and the very very worst of scenarios. Finding peace and acceptance of the journey itself, that often offers the duality of experiences will bring us emotions to soothe the jagged edges.
A gateway to acceptance. The Road to Recovery you might call it.
In the practice of allowing and trusting in the unknown, that is, anything well outside of your control, a warmth and peace flow over you and through you . As with all existence here in the physical realm, it is not always easy. It is and can be a practice that will serve you well.
I enter 2018 with the knowledge that there is much goodness, love and joy in this life of mine. My work is to always choose love. To find the lessons in the dark and to create a space for myself in my world. To nurture myself in the best way I know how, to offer the very best of me to those who choose to accept it. To be still. To be with myself and strengthen the muscle of self love.
We have but this very moment. Sadness, fear and anxiety come from the past and the future. Choose love in the present moment and in that moment you will find peace.
Wishing you love and a peace of mind in the coming year.

Six eligible fanedits were released in the month of June. For your consideration, they are:
Story structure remains essentially the same as the original 3 part tv movie. A few continuity corrections. The only significant edit/cut is the conversation between Adama and Apollo about going down to Caprica. Otherwise, the biggest changes are FX enhancement to many scenes (eg. adding planets to the background), replacing dodgy FX shots (eg. Cylon Basestar descending on Carrillon) or background mattes and making some of the battle sequences less repetitive, while trying to maintain the visual look of the original without going overboard with CGI.
An edit combining Star Trek: The Original episodes' 'For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky' and 'The Paradise Syndrome' into one extended episode.
The first half of BABYLON 5's season 5 is dominated by the telepath story arc Phoenix Rising, where Lyta develops from a direction-less character on the periphery to a focused key character. It's more enjoyable by making Byron less pretentious and a little less prominent. He is a catalyst for Lyta rather than a driving force in his own right. Other storylines in these episodes are unchanged.
Crafted using a mixture of the Theatrical, Unrated, Super-Sized Version, and blu-ray supplemental material, the aim of this edit was to create a funnier, tighter film worthy of being a successor to the first Anchorman. Entire subplots have been removed, and jokes have been pulled from all commercially available material, resulting in a much more focused film and, in my opinion at least, a much funnier one as well.
A twenty-three minute trim of the Eighth Series Doctor Who episode "Listen", focusing entirely on the Orson Pink storyline and trimming Clara's disastrous date with Danny Pink so they only screw up just the once.
Replace a few shots in Apollo 13, using the the amazing 65mm footage from Apollo 11 (2019).
Please remember that faneditors are not allowed to vote for their own edit, nor are the allowed to promote this poll on other sites to try and rig the votes. Voting is for active members of FE.org only. If an editor votes for their own edit or is discovered to be soliciting votes, their edit will be disqualified.

Reader Story: Derek, Cornwall
Derek first attended a Shared Reading group in Outlook South West, a psychological therapy service in Cornwall, and now comes to a group every week in the library. The group facilitator asked him what Shared Reading meant to him:
How would you describe yourself and your needs before joining the group?
I have OCD – it's a fight for me and I was a little depressed.
What made you come to the group?
I saw a notice at Outlook South West and thought it looked inviting. I'm not well read and I wanted to find something to help me over a bad period – I also have skin cancer.
What was the group like for you?
It was an awakening – so many interesting people and it was so varied – we can learn from each other. The pleasure of having someone not as a teacher but who was clever at bringing you into a story – it's a new awakening.
What makes you keep coming?
I'm really happy to quietly enjoy – you can get involved or you can sit and quietly enjoy yourself. I'm sorry it's come so late in my life.
Because it's important, I feel, there's so much enjoyment there – you learn so much from other people. I never knew poetry could be so enjoyable – I hope it continues, it's so good – It's a friendship.
How would you describe its effect on you?
It's helped a lot – my wife has seen the difference ( you should really ask her ) and I've got her involved with it at home.
The facilitator did ask Derek's wife if she had noticed a change in him since he'd joined the Shared Reading group:
Oh yes, it really has helped. He gets so depressed about his OCD and can't cope if things don't go right. When he's been to your group he's a different person, so cheerful and full of it all, talking about the stories and poems. He looks forward to it so much – meeting different people has been so good for him. I'm so pleased he's going – he won't let anything get in the way of it.

Entrance Tickets to The Royal Mews of the Buckingham Palace
Travel to the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace and marvel at the vast collection of luxurious motor cars and carriages. Soak in the stately atmosphere and witness some of the most spectacular vehicles and horses that have come to define the city's nobility.
- Witness the State vehicles that are frequently used for various national occasions like royal weddings or coronations.

Why You Shouldn't Miss This
'Mews' is a singular British term that refers to a row of stables and carriage houses on the ground floor with living quarters built above. The Royal Mews is one of the finest examples of its kind. It was located at Charing Cross for a long time, until it was finally moved to the Buckingham Palace in the 1820s. Unlike the palace, the Mews is generally open to the public almost all year round.
Many of the luxurious motor coaches gifted to the Queen of England are put on display at the Royal Mews. Around 30 steeds, the State motor cars, and many functional carriages like the 'Balmoral' Landau and the 'Ascot' Landau can be seen here. The Diamond Jubilee Coach combines modern technology with classic coach design. Artefact like the Mary Rose are housed in the coach. The coachmen, grooms, and chauffeurs live above the stables.
Your Experience
The Royal Mews is one of the most exquisite places to visit in London. Once your voucher has been exchanged for tickets at the Buckingham Palace office, you can begin exploring this magnificent place. Admire the intricately designed horse-drawn carriages and the classy motor cars like the 1977 Rolls Royce Phantom VI. Every vehicle in the Mews seems to have a royal aura about it. If the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays are not off somewhere on duty, witnessing these magnificent animals is a fascinating experience.
You will see the grand Gold State Carriage, which was commissioned all the way back in 1760. It has been used for royal purposes, including the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002, since the coronation of George IV. The Ascot Landau carriage, which was used for the royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on 19th May 2018 is also on public display at the Royal Mews.

Argentina's credit line with the IMF is a wise move
Argentina is top of mind lately for investors and economic analysts given a significant depreciation of the peso since the end of April, extraordinary measures taken by the monetary and fiscal authorities in response, and news that Argentina has requested a Stand-by Arrangement with the IMF. Though these measures were crucial to stem the peso's decline and shore-up investor confidence, conditions with the IMF should be carefully arranged to avoid further headwinds to Argentina's still precarious recovery.
Argentina is no stranger to economic disaster and market turbulence. Optimism among investors flourished, however, when President Macri took power in late-2015. He inherited severe macroeconomic imbalances from his predecessors Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (President from 2007-2015) and her late husband Nestor Kirchner (President from 2003-2007). Both administrations had financed expensive populist policies through monetization. President Macri, instead, quickly pursued market-friendly reforms and settled with holdout creditors from Argentina's 2001 debt default (ending a 14-year shut-out from international capital markets).
Despite Argentina's legacy of debt defaults, its double-digit inflation, and its sizable fiscal and current account deficits (5.9% and 4.8% of GDP, respectively, in 2017), Argentina was able to issue over $40bn in external debt in 2016, 2017, and 2018 together—primarily due to relatively attractive yields. The recent bout of market volatility, though, is a reminder that investor confidence, and Argentina's economic recovery, remain on shaky ground. Indeed, strong appetite for Argentina's debt over the past two years is part of a wider global trend, where a "search for yield" may have led to substantial risk taking among investors.
Macroeconomic Imbalances Persist
Argentina's economy emerged from a recession and registered positive growth in all quarters of 2017, with real annual GDP growth accelerating to 2.9% (YoY) in 2017. The recovery was led by investment growth and strong private consumption. The latter was supported by lower unemployment and higher real wages.
However, strong domestic demand also contributed to robust import growth through 2017. Consequently, the trade deficit widened significantly and has only recently begun to narrow. A severe drought that hit Argentina's soy industry is expected to weigh further on the trade balance, while any significant deterioration of global trade from a potential escalation of trade conflicts could disrupt the recovery.
Inflation remains elevated at 25.5% (YoY) in April, significantly above the central bank's (BCRA) 15% target for 2018. Meanwhile, the external debt burden has risen to 35% of GDP as the government turned to international credit markets to finance its fiscal deficit, adopting a gradual approach to fiscal consolidation. Moreover, though improving, reserve coverage relative to short term external debt is still limited, especially when compared to other emerging markets (figure 1).
Figure 1 - Ratio external debt to international reserves by maturity, Q4-2017
Source: National Authorities
With this macroeconomic backdrop, the peso has been under pressure since the BCRA raised its inflation target at the end of 2017, and eased its policy rate in January this year (figure 2). A steeper slide began at the end of April, along with a broader decline in emerging market currencies, as rising interest rates in the U.S. are expected to present a headwind for emerging market capital inflows. The BCRA increased its policy rate by a cumulative 1275 bps to 40% between 27 April and 4 May, while the fiscal authorities announced a narrower primary fiscal deficit target for 2018 of 2.7% of GDP. Furthermore, the government announced it had requested a high-access Stand-by Arrangement (SBA) with the IMF. High-access precautionary arrangements are established when the recipient does not intend to draw on the available credit, but can do so if necessary (i.e. an additional buffer to bolster liquidity and investor confidence).
Figure 2 -Argentina FX and policy rate
Source: Datastream, BCRA
Considering Argentina's already fraught relationship with the IMF, the decision to request the SBA and accept specific quantitative conditions (such as deficit targets) is politically risky. Ideally, however, the conditions agreed upon in the ongoing negotiations will align with the government's current reforms, and can serve simply as a reinforcement mechanism. After all, since taking office Macri's administration has lifted capital controls, reformed the statistical agency, introduced an inflation-targeting monetary policy framework, and introduced necessary (albeit gradual) fiscal consolidation targets. In Argentina's latest article IV consultation, the IMF praised authorities for these reforms—a sentiment echoed by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde last week.
Markets are clearly spooked by the prospect that adverse developments could derail Macri's gradual approach towards correcting Argentina's imbalances. Financing the fiscal deficit through external borrowing is not a long-term solution, especially as global interest rates rise, making Argentina relatively less attractive to investors. While Argentina gradually reduces its dependence on external financing, however, investor confidence in its liquidity position is crucial to keep the country on track with its reforms. As such, an SBA with the IMF—before Argentina's situation deteriorates further—could bolster confidence, while also anchoring Macri's reforms in place. However, forcing a more abrupt consolidation of the fiscal position could hinder Argentina's already precarious economic recovery, erode President Macri's popularity, and diminish support for his economic reform program. Conversely, if arranged right, the SBA is a wise move that could make a successful long-term revival of Argentina's economy more likely.

The igloo
Well, Keona and I were talking the other day and I mentioned that if we got some snow that we could build an igloo. She got all excited so I told Kya and before you know it we had a bunch of snow to work with. I shoveled the snow from the driveway into one of the kids wagons. Kya pulled it to the back yard while Kirsten and our neighbor Jessica formed the blocks and shaped the structure. Tonight if it drops below freezing I'm going to color some water and spray the igloo so it will be pink ice in the morning. Should be fun. Check back for more pictures.

That's because Ford will produce a limited number of vehicles—dubbed the Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition—to celebrate the historic original GT's 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1966. "Celebrating the anniversary of Ford's historic victories at Le Mans has always been a part of the return of the Ford GT," said Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president, product development, and chief technical officer. "The 2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition is a stunning tribute to the car that kicked off Ford's string of Le Mans victories in 1966." You can learn more about the package here...

They will feature a Shadow Black exterior with either a gloss or matte finish, silver stripes and the exposed carbon-fiber package. They are adorned with Frozen White graphics, including a Number 2 graphics on the hood and door. "While the looks are distinctly based on the GT40 Mark II race car," said Garen Nicoghosian, exterior design manager. "We've accentuated new styling cues to provide a modern interpretation." It's not just the outside of this model that's special, however. Its carbon fiber seats are covered in Ebony leather featuring pillowed inserts and plow-through stitching. The dash, pillars and headliner also wear an Ebony leather covering. Both the headrests and the steering wheel are debossed with the Ford GT logo, and the dash, X-brace and shift paddles wear gold appliqués. By now you are probably thinking you'd be happy with any Ford GT, including this extremely special edition. Well, even if can't buy one, you can build a virtual version—including the Heritage Edition—over on the car's online configurator starting around lunch time today. There's goes your Monday productivity… If you want a truly special 2017 Ford GT, you'll want to order the 2017 Heritage Edition.

Inside, the Heritage Edition sports a serialized identification plate, and a Number 2 door graphic. Its doorsills, air register pods and center console are exposed matte carbon fiber.
