|Starting in early September we typically see the HDD count across the country begin to grow as the nation slides into fall. However, this year has been characterized by above normal temperatures weak HDD growth. Figure 1 displays the previous two year's gas weighted daily HDD count in the top portion of the graph (line segments) and the deviation from normal in the bar graph at the bottom of the graph. As you can see, the last two years have seen a similar growth through September both falling behind normal from the start of September. In ... » read more

|At EnergyGPS, we have always tried to respond to the demands of our customers. This is why we have put together a new morning report focused on the South Central region of the country. ERCOT and SPP power markets have seen large changes in renewables additions, coal retirements and power burns over the past years making this a very dynamic market to monitor. The natural gas space is as complex as any in the world. Onshore production, offshore production, salt storage and pipeline infrastructure expansions make this area one of constant change. We cover these topics ... » read more

|Today is Columbus Day, which remembers the voyage by one Christopher Columbus to the new land (America). I could not help but think about what it would be like on his boat as he navigated his way over the Atlantic Ocean fighting off storm after storm and actually make it to land. The reason for this thought was due to Hurricane Matthew making landfall in the Carolinas over the weekend. As a result of the high winds and rain, over a million households and businesses were left without power. If you watched any college football games along the ... » read more

|Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took Canadian provinces by surprise Monday by announcing they have until 2018 to adopt a carbon pricing plan. If not the Canadian government will step in and impose a price for them. A tough-talking Trudeau told the House of Commons that provinces can craft a cap-and-trade system or put a direct price on carbon pollution — provided it meets the federal carbon floor price. "If neither price nor cap and trade is in place by 2018, the government of Canada will implement a price in that jurisdiction," he said. Trudeau ... » read more

|While production has trended down across the country for most of the summer, we saw a dramatic change this weekend that may cause ripples at least until we get into the winter months. Coming out of summer, power burns in the east started to move back to seasonal normal. As demand started to wane, the overall supply - demand balance started to loosen creating an oversupplied condition in the daily pipeline balancing. Normally there would be storage capacity available to soak up excess gas keeping pipeline pressures in check. After last years warm winter, there is a ... » read more

|Over the past year we have seen an unseasonably warm winter stifled heating demand and as a result the gas storage levels were well above last years levels come the spring. Thanks to an especially warm summer, power burns across the country picked up and the massive storage has been drastically diminished. According to the most recent EIA weekly gas report, national storage reached 3,600 BCF for week ending 9/23/2016 which is only 90 BCF above 2015.

|Looking back at the month of September, California's solar profile shifted down over the course of the month with the last two weeks seeing two major dips. Figure 1 | Year on Year California Solar Comparison - Daily The first dip was due to unseasonable cloud over Southern California and the Desert Southwest that lasted a couple of days. The second shift down was due to unplanned maintenance and economic curtailment due to regional congestion. Regardless of the reason, the monthly average shifted down just over 200 MWa across the heavy load hours. Figure ... » read more

on the here and now
while a voice in my head
is screaming how.
It's hard not to look
in the rear view mirror
when you are struggling
with your own terror.
The future
has yet to arrive
still here you are
searching for ways to survive.
No answers

when you are busy
wrestling with your mind.
Close your eyes
and take a deep breath in,
try not to worry
there's a chance you can win.

Beyond the codex: some historico-political songs in Anglo-Norman England
Stefano Resconi is a postdoctoral researcher in Romance Philology and Linguistics at the Università degli Studi di Milano. His research is centred on the comparative study of Romance lyric traditions, French romances and the sources of Dante. Stefano is currently spending three months with the TVOF team as a visiting researcher.
As with almost every medieval French literary genre, the codex is the typical physical support for transcribing and transmitting lyric poetry. The textual tradition of the trouvères is, alongside that of the troubadours, the most extensive in the domain of medieval Romance lyric, and the richest of all in terms of the presence of chansonniers provided with musical notation (see right). Since the ground-breaking study of the troubadour tradition by Gustav Gröber, we know that the extant Romance lyrical manuscripts collect and re-order texts (often according to an ideological purpose) from less substantial and structured material supports. Liederblätter ('single sheets') and rotuli ('rolls') are two of these kinds of mediums. The poets themselves talk about these objects, which are occasionally portrayed in the decoration that accompanies certain manuscripts of the texts.
Let us consider, for instance, the portrait of the troubadour Folquet de Marselha we find (see below left) on folio 63r of Provençal chansonnier N (New York, The Morgan Library & Museum, MS M.819). It shows the poet nearly fainting, overwhelmed with an erotic despair that does not let him continue with the composition of the text he is writing on a roll. This is exactly the situation described in the opening lines of Folquet's poem Meravill me cum pot nuills hom chantar (BEdT 155,13), written alongside the drawing in the manuscript:
Meravill me cum pot nuills hom chantar
si cum ieu fatz per lieis que·m fai doler,
qu'e ma chansso non puosc apareillar
dos motz qu'al tertz no·m lais marritz chaser,
car non sui lai on estai sos cors gens,
doutz e plazens,
que m'auci desiran
e non pot far morir tant fin aman.
(vv. 1-8; critical text by Paolo Squillacioti)
(I'm amazed that any man could sing like I do for the lady who makes me suffer: I can't put two words together in my song without, when I arrive at the third, letting myself fall, dazed, because I'm not where her gentle figure is, sweet and pleasant, that kills me through desire and can't make such a perfect lover die.)
With a few exceptions, this kind of support had the principal function of fixing in writing and transmitting (potentially with a view to performance) texts as short as the lyrical ones are: thus, they did not usually need to be made of durable, refined and expensive material. Together with the small size that made them particularly fragile, this is probably the reason why only a few of them have survived.
MS 1681 of Lambeth Palace Library in London is one of these lucky survivors (see below). It is a roll (about 1 metre long and 11.5cm in width, damaged at the top) written in England at the beginning of the fourteenth century, transmitting seven lyric poems that we can read also in the chansonniers (two chansons written by the Châtelain de Coucy and Gace Brulé – RS 1872 and 565 –, followed by a collection of Artesian jeux-partis). During the reign of Edward III (1327-1377) the verso was filled with Latin texts concerning English local history, suggesting that the roll was probably circulating in an administrative social context. The visual arrangement of the text within the roll points to interesting similarities with the fragments of another mid-thirteenth-century lyric roll, which contains poems of the Minnesänger Reinmar von Zweter. In this roll, the text is written in scriptio continua with metrical punctuation and coloured lettrines mark the first line of each stanza, while in the Lambeth Palace roll the letters were planned but not completed as there is blank space for the two-line-height initials at the beginning of each poem. This important artefact shows that a roll was perfect for transcribing short collections of lyrical texts that did not require the vast space of a codex, ensuring a practical and compact material support.
If the texts added on the verso side of Lambeth Palace roll may indicate its circulation in political-administrative contexts, it is interesting that lyric or para-lyric texts copied on supports different from the codex in medieval England often deal with historical or political topics. This is not only the case with the type of objects we having been looking at – sheets or rolls originally intended for transcribing lyric poems –, but also with so-called 'traces' (texts written in blank spaces within already complete codices). Indeed, the oldest surviving transcription of a Romance lyric poem is a French chanson de croisade (RS 1548a, Chevalier, mult estes guariz) added by an English hand from the second half of the twelfth century in the blank space following Gregory the Great's Moralia in Iob in ms. Erfurt, Universitätsbibliothek, Dep. Erf. Codex Amplonianus 8° 32.
An historico-political text also characterises the oldest surviving Romance Liederblatt, embedded in a manuscript of Benoît de Sainte-Maure's Cronique des ducs de Normandie (London, British Library, Harley MS 1717, fol. 251v) (see below right). On this sheet (originally the internal part of a single bifolium – this material feature shows some similarities with another important although later Romance lyric bifolium, the Pergaminho Vindel) we can read a text provided with musical notation, written at the end of 1180s by a member of Henry II's court and transcribed in the same period and in the same context. The poem, Parti de mal et a bien atourné (RS 401), is again a chanson de croisade, and this is its only attestation. Its author hopes that the settlement of the conflicts between Henry II, his sons and Philip Augustus will finally give the Plantagenets the opportunity to focus their military energies on the crusade:
Si m'aït Deus, trop avons demuré
d'aler a Deu pur sa terre seisir
dunt li Turc l'unt eisseillié e geté
pur noz pechiez ke trop devons haïr.
La doit chascun aveir tut sun desir,
kar ki pur Lui lerad sa richeté
pur voir avrad paraïs conquesté.
(vv. 29-35; critical text by Anna Radaelli)
(God help me, we have delayed too long in going to God to seize the land from which the Turks have exiled and banished Him because of our sins, which we should profoundly hate. On this each one of us should concentrate his whole desire, since whoever leaves his riches for His sake will certainly have conquered paradise [translation by Anna Radaelli])
Finally, we may also consider the so-called Song of the Barons, transcribed on the recto side of a roll (London, British Library, Add. MS 23986, unfortunately now lost) dating to the end of the thirteenth century or the beginning of the fourteenth. The poem, probably written in 1263, refers to the Second Barons' War, and its author sides with Simon de Montfort, who is highly honoured in the seventh stanza, where a flattering etymology is given for his name:
Il est apelé de Montfort: (He is called of Montfort
Il est el mond et si est fort, he is in the world and he is strong,
Si ad grant chevalerie; and great is his prowess;
Ce [est] voir et je m'acort: this is the truth and I concur:
Il eime dreit et het le tort, he loves right and hates wrong
Si avera la mestrie. and he will get the upper hand.)
(vv. 37-42; critical text and translation by Isabel S. T. Aspin)
If we consider the palaeographic features of all the objects that we have looked at, we notice that – despite the material support that may seem unusual to us – the texts are transcribed with the objective of giving them a dignified appearance: the transcriptions are made in a professional way, and are provided with ample paratextual decoration. This may suggest that this kind of Liederblätter and rotuli is not representative of the material supports made for immediate use by the poets, the performers of their texts, or their admirers. They were more likely special transcriptions designed to collect a small number of poems (sometimes even a single one) on relatively stable supports that could be offered as a gift to someone, circulate in a particular environment (probably a political one in the case of the last two artefacts we have considered), or simply to ensure a better preservation.
Moreover, medieval England provides us with other episodes that show the circulation of political-historical texts on material supports other than the codex. Indeed, the Anglo-Norman genealogies on rolls are one of the most widespread ways of reading history in medieval England from the end of the thirteenth century (see right). By combining texts belonging to the complex constellation of the Brut abrégé with remarkable artistic representations of genealogical trees, these artefacts aimed to give a complete but at the same time brief idea of English history, from the legendary arrival of Brutus (or, more often, from the Heptarchy) to contemporary times and beyond. Some of the rolls in fact show added skins containing later corrections or updates, attesting the constant interest of medieval readers for historical texts, even when written outside the codex.

You may be confused by legal and medical terminology, and that is why skilled professionals are so valuable. Read over this article and learn how you can improve the chances of winning your personal injury case. Heed the advice of medical professionals, and persevere until you win your case.
When you are documenting the events from the accident, you should write down your injuries in detail. Whether a broken arm or cut, talk about every physical problem. Don't forget to add to the list as bumps and bruises appear down the road. Also, consider your mental issues after the accident, such as being too scared to drive again.
As you are assessing damages you have incurred from your injury, be sure to note lost income. This means how much time you spent away from work, unpaid or paid at a lower rate, due to injury (mental or physical), not having transportation, etc. You can also include lost money on classes you were unable to attend.
A preexisting condition doesn't mean you aren't able to take legal action with regards to personal injury. Always be honest with the lawyer about injuries you suffered prior to your accident. Otherwise, your attorney could be blindsided in the courtroom.
You will need pictures and documented paperwork regarding your personal injury. Ask a friend or relative to take some pictures for you if you need to. Do this immediately following injuries to get the best pictures.
Organize all your medical records in one handy spot. Have the notes your doctor writes for you relating to your case, the bills from the hospital, and any other medical supplies you have to purchase. Also save copies of any email from your doctor concerning your injury.
Watch out when you deal with insurance companies. It is almost impossible to get through a personal injury case without involving one or more insurance companies, so keep your guard up. The main thing these companies want to do is get the case over with quickly and for the least amount of money possible. Getting the advice of a lawyer is often a good idea prior to settling with an insurance company.
You needn't call your lawyer simply because you have a little discomfort after an accident. This is nothing to be alarmed about and it may quickly go away. If you've been feeling pain for a few days, however, then it's probably best that you speak with a lawyer.
You should go to all doctor's appointment and document everything if you plan to pursue a personal injury claim. You not only need to prove you were actually injured, you also have to show the costs incurred to get get better. Then, any award will more accurately reflect what you deserve. If not, it might appear like you aren't telling the truth, or are trying to manipulate events.
A personal injury lawsuit can be something that's a little difficult to deal with. It does, however, help if you hire a good lawyer. Use the information you have found here to give yourself an advantage as you work your way through this complicated legal system. Ultimately, you will prevent similar cases happening to others while also gaining money you deserve.

Joey Kennedy — The Birmingham News
JOEY KENNEDY: Alabama's Terrible Immigration Law Can Be Big Trouble For Republicans Nationally in Presidential Race I attended a telephone press conference Monday put on by America's Voice, featuring Lynn Tramonte, deputy director for America's Voice (an immigration reform advocacy organization), Angela M. Kelley, vice president of immigration policy and advocacy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund; the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference; and Erika Adiola, government relations director at DRM Capital Group. This group's consensus is that, mainly because of Alabama's harsh immigration law and Republican presidential candidates' embrace of it and similar laws, the Republicans are in real trouble come election time. Republicans can't win without a good chunk of the Latino/Hispanic vote, and that's just the way it is. In 2004, George W. Bush got 44 percent of the Latino vote. In 2008, John McCain fought hard for the Latino vote, but drew only 31 percent, and lost. This year, according to a recently conducted Fox News Latino poll, GOP leader Mitt Romney is polling only 14.2 percent versus President Barack Obama's 69.6 percent. And of the three front-leading Republicans, Romney polls the best. "The damage is done," Kelley said. "The law's impact has been stunning from Day 1, and has been sustained." Alabama, she said, has made itself "an incredibly unattractive state to go to." And, said Kelley, Romney is using the author of the Alabama law (and Arizona's, Georgia's and South Carolina's), Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, as his immigration adviser. It was Kobach who taught Romney about "self-deportation." "Self-deportation is just mass deportation with a smiley face," Tramonte said. Rodriguez noted that Alabama's immmigration law was one of the most detrimental measures in recent history, resurrecting vestiges of the old South that we all believed stood buried. Republicans have painted themselves into a bad corner, Tramonte said. "I don't think they're going to be able to walk back or moderate their position," she said. "It's impossible for them to replace history and what they've said in the primary." READ MORE: http://blog.al.com/jkennedy/2012/03/joey_kennedy_alabamas_terrible.html

September 1 – Anyone who has driven through the U.S. southwest is familiar with the endless miles of scorching hot desert. Many of these travelers have likely wondered, while speeding along one of the dozens of highways in the region, "why don't we just put up miles and miles of solar panels here and take a big bite out of our energy problems?"
The answer to this question is as frustrating as it is unsurprising.
In 2005, Congress gave the Interior Department an order– grant permits for 10,000 megawatts of renewable energy on federal public lands by 2015. The responsibility to execute this mandate was given to the Bureau of Land Management, which manages federal lands and has extensive experience in granting oil, gas and mining leases.
However, the process by which the BLM allowed private companies to lay claim to the public lands was rife with incompetence and inefficiency. Instead of weeding out bidders that were unlikely to build solar plants in the near future, the BLM opened the process to anyone who could fill out an application, pay a fee and file development plans.
This poorly conceived free-for-all allowed companies with little or no solar project experience to scoop up prime land. According to the AP, one of the most egregious examples of this land grab is seen by two subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs & Co., which accounted for 52 of the 354 applications. Specifically, one Goldman subsidiary, Cogentrix Solar Services, LLC, holds the rights to nearly half the federal land designated for solar development in Nevada.
Although companies that hold these BLM solar claims are not allowed to sell the claims, the companies themselves can be sold, along with their potentially lucrative solar claims.
Interestingly, while the process for dolling out solar claims was slow and inefficient, the agency was incredibly effective at approving leases for oil and gas exploration. During the Bush Administration, while solar applications sat idle for years, the BLM approved over 73,000 oil and gas leases in the last five years of Bush's term. To date, the BLM has still not given final approval to a single solar lease, many of which are claimed by companies not even qualified to build a solar plant in the first place.

We enjoy sitting in banquettes because of their intimacy and comfort. The built-in bench seating, sometimes referred to as nook seating, is a great place to gather for a casual meal, settle in for homework time, or relax with a cup of coffee. Continue reading "7 Fresh Kitchen Banquettes"
Cooking Table
Open floor plans not only maximize available space and eliminate wasted space, they make rooms more flexible and inviting. Food preparation, eating, lounging, entertainment and children playing all occur within the same undivided space.
Now a new cooking concept allows social cooking to be accomplished with ease in the smallest of spaces. German Designer Moritz Putzier presented his graduate project, the Cooking Table; at IMM Cologne 2015 and won first prize in the Pure Talents Contest – a contest aimed at acknowledging the work of young students and recent graduates who have developed a product or system that addresses the area of interior innovation.
"My work is focused on the creation of the experience not on the food itself," said Putzier. "Traditional and original values are picked up and transformed into the present time."
Putzier incorporated a hidden cooktop into a long, wooden dining table that can be used for preparing and cooking meals, dining, working or studying at. The table pulls apart to reveal a track where the gas burner can be attached on the top with a gas tank below. The burners can slide along the top allowing the user to add as many as they need.
The Cooking Table comes with a couple of wooden stools and a set of ceramic bowls that can be used for storage or serve as heat shields for the hot burners. The lids conveniently double as cutting boards.
I really like the concept and the approach Putzier took in creating his graduate project. Perhaps we'll this on a Kickstarter page in the future for the American market.
6 Beautiful Kitchens with Fire Elements
This might be one the best executed kitchen fireplaces I've come across in a long time.
The tile room divider is more interesting with the linear fire. Of course, safety first when planning a fire element on a counter surface in a working kitchen.
This fireplace in the kitchen creates a deliciously rich and romantic ambiance, filling the space with instant warmth and character.
This low fire element will add warmth and a delightful crackle to the ears. It will be more enjoyable to the guests than the chef but it's a great example for an open plan house. I think this could also provide inspiration for an outdoor kitchen design.
From low to the ground to an elevated hearth with a linear burner., this fire element adds drama and can be enjoyed from every vantage point. Hopefully there is a large pantry nearby.

I've been noticing a 'burning plastic' smell coming from my car. It's not coming from under the hood- seems more like it's under the car, by the back tires. Temperature gauge is fine and there's no smoke anywhere. It's a 2003 Subaru impreza 2.5 RS.
First thought would be a plastic bag that you ran over and it caught on your exhaust pipe. I have had that happen before.
Check the catalytic converter after the car has been running to make sure that it is not red hot, and overheating something nearby.
If it were coming from the engine area, I would suspect synthetic oil leaking. I have found that synthetic motor oil smells like burning plastic when it burns on the exhaust manifold.
Not much in the rear to burn. Like Manolito says, check the muffler and exhaust pipes for plastic trash melted to them that is slowly burning away. Could also be a brake dragging. Hot brakes don't smell particularly like burning plastic to me, but they could to some folks. Next time the car is parked someplace flat and has had time to cool off, drive it about a quarter mile without touching the brakes. Let it coast to a stop. Get out and carefully feel the rear wheels (not the tires, the wheels). If one is warm or hot, get the brake looked at. Don't burn yourself, brakes can get REALLY hot.
The third possibility would be the wiring or some electrical device in the back of the car. Normally a fuse will blow before smoke and flames appear, but you can't really count on that.

Katoro Gold PLC (LON:KAT) has suspended feasibility work on the Imweru project while it assesses the economic viability of the project in the light of new mining legislation in Tanzania.
Katoro will consider undertaking a further exploration work programme to enhance and expand the current resource, exploring some of the previously identified exploration targets that form part of the Imweru/Lubando gold project.
READ: Katoro Gold mulling impact of new Tanzania laws on Imweru
In addition, it will seek engagement of the Tanzanian Ministry of Minerals to agree the mining licence application for Imweru and ensure its economic feasibility based on the new mining legislation and regulations.
The company expects to complete the assessment by the end of the second quarter or early in third quarter of this year.
"It should be remembered that is has always been the Company's objective to bring the Imweru gold project into production on an expedited basis, so as to generate sufficient revenues to self-fund the further development and expansion of the Imweru and Lubando gold projects," said Katoro chairman Louis Coetzee.
"Having considered the preliminary findings of the pre-feasibility work, as well as the impact of the recent updates to the mining regulations in Tanzania, we have decided to first assess the current economic viability of Imweru to determine whether we should continue with the present development strategy or whether an adjustment is required, to ensure optimal utilisation of resources and realisation of the full potential of the Imweru/Lubando gold projects," he said
"Naturally, this will delay our planned timetable to production, but the fact remains that we are currently at a stage of the feasibility study where we need to make critical strategic decisions that will determine the success or failure of the Imweru gold project and we therefore need to ensure that we take these decisions responsibly," he added.

The city B&O tax model ordinance update process is almost complete, and public stakeholder meetings have been scheduled this fall on the draft implementation guidance rule to get feedback on interpretation from the business community. The stakeholder meetings are scheduled for September 18 in Seattle and October 9 in Tacoma.
Once the work group of city finance directors and tax managers has finalized the city B&O tax model ordinance, all cities with a local B&O tax will need to adopt the mandatory city B&O tax model ordinance changes by January 1, 2020. The draft rule will provide uniform implementation guidance on the changes to service income apportionment.
We anticipate sending the finalized model to B&O tax cities by the end of September and we plan to provide education materials on the changes later this fall.

Synthetic Identities: Part Three, A Fraud vs. Credit Risk Perspective
Our previous posts examined the different types of synthetic identity fraud, including manipulated and manufactured, which vary in construction, intent and degree of financial harm. Part three of our series examines how the diversity in synthetic identity behavior impacts the ability of risk management strategies to identify and stop this threat. It also provides insight into whether this is a fraud or credit problem, or both.
Synthetic identities present a dynamic and multifaceted challenge, which is incredibly difficult for enterprises to pinpoint during account opening. In addition to the different types, the speed with which synthetic identities access and abuse credit varies. Fraudsters may be looking for a quick way to cash in and show up as first-pay defaults or never-pays. Or they may build up a credit profile slowly over time and bust out two years later. These inconsistencies in behavior make it unclear if the accounts are fraudulent or a result of credit abuse.
In our work with top financial institutions, we find that they have different perspectives regarding how to define synthetics; the most fundamental disagreement among these lenders is whether synthetics are a fraud or credit problem. This discord, combined with the difficulty identifying whether a crime has even occurred, complicates the development of a strategy to combat synthetic fraud and the ability to size and scope the issue. Herein lies the problem of solving this growing and evolving threat.
How do enterprises obtain the budget and resources to address synthetics if they can't accurately define synthetic fraud or quantify the magnitude of its impact? Without additional tools or processes to combat synthetics, executing a defense strategy is challenging.
To protect against synthetic identities, enterprises need the flexibility to address two main concerns:
- Identity legitimacy – Is this identity real or fake?
- Credit abuse – Does this consumer have an intent to misuse credit?
Because synthetic identities manifest themselves in different ways within an enterprise, the ability to address both identity legitimacy and credit abuse is a crucial step toward stopping synthetics' path of destruction. Without the ability to effectively fight the problem as each organization experiences it – be it fraud or credit risk – many lenders and service providers are stuck in neutral against this rapidly growing threat.
To learn best practices for optimizing your detection and prevention strategy for synthetics, watch our on-demand web seminar hosted by American Banker: Tackling synthetic identity fraud head-on.
Are you attending Money20/20? We will be releasing a new data study at the show that demonstrates the behavioral differences between synthetic identities, credit bads and other types of fraud, that help lenders pinpoint the transaction patterns of synthetics and stop them before they attack. Plan to attend the Fraud Whack-a-Mole: Securing Payments in a Post-EMV Chip World panel on Monday, October 22 from 1:00pm – 1:40pm, where the panelists will take you to the dark underground of fraud trends, particularly those related to identity theft and synthetic identities.

An Anticipated Race Like No Other: the 2020 Election
April 10, 2019
From college students, to Hollywood actors, to political figures such as former
president Barack Obama, many found the idea of a Trump presidency to be ludicrous
and expressed no doubt that the former Senator of New York would clinch her greatest
achievement of being Commander in Chief; after all, most news organizations and polls
such as Reuters gave Hillary Clinton odds of between 75 and 99 percent of winning the
election. But in one of the most stunning upsets of the twenty first century, Republican
Donald Trump defeated Clinton in 2016 and became America's 45th president. With
President Trump's first term being over halfway through, many have posed the
question: what awaits within the 2020 election, and who will emerge as the top
2016's election displayed a variety of characters on the political spectrum, including
the businessman Donald Trump, former Senator and First Lady Hillary Clinton, the
Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, and Conservative Senator
Ted Cruz from Texas. Although several of these names will make a probable run for the
presidency in the future, many other politicians have entered the race and are poised as
Familiar names in the race consist of former Vice President Joe Biden, who has not
officially declared his candidacy but has dropped hints since leaving the White House in
early 2017. Hillary Clinton announced on March 4th that she would not be running due
to her various failed attempts; however, many have speculated this to be untruthful due
to her past of persistent campaigning. 2016's runner-up in the Democratic party, Bernie
Sanders, announced that he would be running. Appealing to younger generations,
Sanders has passionately discussed his key goals of "redistributing wealth, fighting
inequality, and creating a bigger social safety-net" [1]. Despite his old age of 77 years,
Sanders's experience from the 2016 election and socialist views will likely garner him
more popularity in 2020. Aidan Wiehe '20 asserts that "Sanders is a very strong
candidate based on his support from younger aged-groups and the far Left." However,
Sanders may be thwarted in his path to the presidency by much younger, fresh-faced
Democrat candidates that have entered the race.
Certain Democratic candidates such as New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, former
Representative Beto O'Rourke, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and California
Senator Kamala Harris have all officially announced their 2020 campaigns. While most
of these candidates agree on key issues within the Democrat party such as women's
rights, gun control, climate change, education, and immigration, they have all differed in
their exposure to the spotlight of the political spectrum. Gillibrand and Harris campaign
heavily on their physical attributes and the issues associated with them, such as
Gillibrand being a woman and Harris being an African American woman; in fact, Harris
officially entered the race on the holiday of MLK's birthday, in a nod to her historic run
for the White House [2]. Being infamously called "Pocahontas" by President Trump,
Senator Warren has also garnered a lot of attention for both her handling of her Native-
American heritage DNA test-reveal and her views on inequality and taxing the wealthy;
with her campaign being kicked off in early February, Warren will look to make a deep
run into the 2020 election. Another key name in the race includes Beto O'Rourke, who
narrowly lost to Senator Ted Cruz in Texas in the run for the Senate. O'Rourke found a
huge following among younger people and college students in his state during the
midterm elections, and despite his loss, he has shown certain skills such as having a
significant stage presence and addressing Trump supporters, who according to
O'Rourke, "are every bit of deserving of my attention, of being listened to, of being
fought for, of being served, even if they didn't vote for me" [3]. With many new and old
faces to politics, this Democratic race will prove to be more diverse and livelier than
those that ran in 2016.
As for the Republicans running, President Donald Trump has announced since
his inauguration in 2017 that he would be running again in 2020. Following his victory in
2016 with wins in major states such as Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin,
Trump has been heavily involved with key issues to his supporters such as working to
improve the American economy and building a border wall between the U.S. and
Mexico. Currently, the President has an approval rating between 35-40 percent, and
many do not question that he will run a strong campaign to secure the Republican
nomination once again [4]. Another Republican that has announced to run in 2020 is
William "Bill" Weld, who ran as the Independent Gary Johnson's Vice President in the
2016 election. Weld has regularly criticized President Trump, even calling him
"unstable." A win of the nomination could be possible but seems highly unlikely with his
varying political beliefs and rocky relationship with the GOP. Other Republicans that
have not ruled out running include Maryland Senator Larry Hogan (a generally
Moderate Republican) and John Kasich, who famously ran for the Republican
nomination in 2016 and spoke out against Trump before ultimately losing to him.
Regardless of the outcome of the actual election, many can agree that 2020 will
consist of much younger, more diverse candidates than those that were seen in 2016.
This may in effect cause younger generations that would normally not vote in
presidential elections to come out and support younger candidates. Eliana Lazar '21
argues that "people who have seen the effects of this recent presidency will become
more involved and will change their past votes and parties with newer candidates." With
more candidates entering and contemplating a run in the upcoming year, this 2020
election will prove to be very engaging, engrossing and enjoyable with mixture of
hopeful prospects for the presidency.

Did You Know? CCEI Training Imports
Posted Monday, September 16, 2019 by Shelly Nye
In July we announced that The Nevada Registry has entered into a data transfer partnership with the ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) to begin electronically importing completed Registry-approved online CCEI training into the membership accounts of active Registry members. What this means is that Registry-approved CCEI training that you complete will be automatically added to your Registry membership account within a week of completing it. This is a great benefit to you as it helps to update your transcript of completed training as you complete some of your training rather than having to wait until your next membership renewal. However, we are not able to import completed CCEI training into your account if the information in the CCEI system does not match the information in our system (First Name, Last Name, Registry ID).
Because a missing or incorrect Registry ID # (in your CCEI account) is the most common mismatch, please be sure that your correct Registry ID # is on file with CCEI. The process to update your CCEI account is easy. Follow these simple steps to add your Nevada Registry ID # to your CCEI Training Account. While you are there, verify that your name in the CCEI system matches the name on file with The Nevada Registry too!
- Log in to your Nevada Registry Online Portal to verify your Registry ID # (listed in the 'My Membership Profile' tab of your membership account)
- Log in to CCEI to add it to your account
- Once logged in to your CCEI account:
- Go to: Edit Personal Settings (Under 'My Professional Development Resources')
- Choose 'Personal Information'. Click on the 'Edit Personal Information' link next to your name.
- Click on the 'Registry' tab
- Enter your Registry ID # in the corresponding text field
- Save your changes
Once this is done (and if this is the only mismatched information), any completed CCEI training that has not been imported will be added to your Nevada Registry membership account during the next regularly scheduled data import. Imported training will be added to your training transcript but will not be factored into your Career Ladder Level (if applicable) until your next membership renewal.
Please note that CCEI may contact you via email to request additional information needed to update your account with their organization. This contact is in an attempt to reconcile the data in their system with the data in our system so that your completed CCEI training may be imported into your Registry membership account.

"each civilized person in the world should admit that he has two home countries: the one he was born in, and Syria." –André Parrot
Our cafe opened in 2008 with the aim to make it possible in Budapest for the people living there and for visitors to learn more about Arabic culture and atmosphere and to get away from everyday reality for a couple of hours. Those who visit our cafe may feel for a while as they had made a short journey to this wonderful country, Syria. We are waitng our guests with a real oriental experience, a varied arabic music, a wide selection of hot roasted teas, and of course with the inevitable shishas. In addition to the multitude of teas and coffees it's also possible to consume alcohol.
Since the opening, the place has gone through a lot of changes because we always pay attention to the newer and changed needs of our guests. During all the changes we're trying to change our supply properly to the demands and to present novelties. At the same time there is something never changes here: the eastern environment, the familiar atmosphere, the kind and friendly service and the frightened friday night's belly dancing show!

Sure the graphics are smooth, the game play is intense, and the music has me moving, but all I want to do is hear that sound. That sound comes from the most menial tasks, insignificant characters, and quirky developers on the landscape. They fill you with a sense of victory, completion, and enjoyment.
The first sound that always comes to mind is brought up here at Achievos on a pretty regular basis. I think we have even written blogs specifically about it's effects. The sound of an achievement popping is so satisfying as a direct result of what it represents. Every time one is unlocked, it means that a milestone in the game was reached, a significant portion of the game is completed, and the overall gamer score is on the rise. I imagine that gamers get the same response that a basketball players gets when he hears the ball swoosh through a hoop hitting nothing but the net. It's a sound that means victory.
My next favorite sound comes from the game Bastion. The in-game currency is this broken, blue fragment. Collect them as you go and use them to pay for upgrades. As they fall from dead enemies and broken pieces of environment, they do a fast drag along the ground to the player. The sound it makes is like a large, uneven but polished rock rolling or falling toward the main character. I think I like this sound so much not because of its monetary value, but because it's so unusual. When collecting currency, there is usually a high pitched chime or some other obvious tone related to money. Bastion provides a more hearty, deep, and somehow magnetic sound that puts a pretty serious smile on my face.
My last favorite sound is that of a well-connected shotgun blast. When that heavy thud matches perfectly with the backwards jerk of a body, it's unbelievably satisfying. To me, the blunt and violent sound of a shotgun blast feels like an instant victory. If my KDR is 5/20 with a sub machine gun or an assault rifle, I'm annoyed and feel like a gaming failure. But if I put up those same numbers using a shotgun, I feel like a king. It's instant gratification. I am close enough to see the whites of an enemies eyes and the shotgun blast declares me the immediate winner.
These are just a few of the video game sounds that brighten my day. It's not a John Williams score or an 8-bit repetitive tone, they are just small, simple sound effects that add a lot. What are some of your favorites ?

Bauke Mollema takes his first stage victory at the Tour de FranceJul 17 2017 12:01 am CET
Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) has taken the victory at the 15th stage of the Tour de France. The Dutchman managed to cross the finish line on his own after attacking from the escape group.
One week before the Champs-Elysees, the Tour de France had its 15th stage between Laissa-Severac l'Eglise and Le Puy-en-Velay. The route was 189.5 kilometres long and featured two first category climbs, one of the first category and one of the fourth.
The day started with a big escape of 28 riders. The group was formed by Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin), Nicolas Roche (BMC), Jan Bakelants (AG2R La Mondiale), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Lilian Calmejane (Direct Energie), among many others.
This escape managed to create a gap of over 7 minutes with a pack led and controlled by Team Sky. In front, Martin attacked with more than 60 kilometres to go and created a gap of more than 1 minute with his former breakaway companions.
Around the 40 kilometre mark, AG2R La Mondiale accelerated in the peloton, causing a cut that was eventually closed by Sky. But soon after, Froome had a puncture and had to exchange wheels with Michal Kwiatkowski. The Briton got caught out behind the group of the favourites because of the speed set by the French team.
In front, meanwhile, the climb proved too steep for Martin, who was caught by Warren Barguil (Sunweb) and Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data). Soon some remaining escapees rejoined in the front but Mollema then launched a new attack.
Behind, Froome could catch the favourites group with the help of Mikel Landa. There were some attacks in that group, but none strong enough to make a difference.
Mollema maintained a gap with the chasers and crossed the finish line solo, getting his first stage victory ever in the Tour de France.
Diego Ulissi (UAE-Team Emirates), Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Barguil completed the top five of the day.
The General Classification standings remain the same and are still led by Chris Froome (Team Sky), followed by Fabio Aru (Astana).

Ed: It's hard to deny that we are living in challenging times culturally. The church's influence is fading, and we are struggling to find answers to some hard questions. What's your take on the health of the church today, especially as it relates to our witness?
Dominique: Amid increasing political polarity, the church must be reminded that Christianity cannot fit neatly into partisan politics. Both the left and the right are inadequate. Neither party is God-ordained, and both have championed principles that are antithetical to the Kingdom. In this critical moment, we must remember that our hope is exclusively in Christ, and that our ethics, values, and virtues must be biblically rooted.
Moreover, the church is called to be a prophetic presence in the world, not merely an echo chamber that only resounds once there is no longer any social risk involved in speaking up.
However, far too often, fear prohibits us from faithfully responding to the needs around us. Fear domesticate our witness—be it the fear of being perceived as "too political" when we strive to embody passages like Proverbs 31: 8-9, Matthew 25, or 1 John 3:16-18, or political fear-mongering—which both parties deploy—that we succumb to, which leads us to "other" or dehumanize individuals made in the image of God.
In this watershed moment, we must remember the wise council of Dr. King, who said, "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state."
Dr. King also spoke about the urgent need for the church to recapture its prophetic zeal and remember its missional purpose. In his legendary "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," he wrote, "Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators.' But they went on with the conviction that they were a 'colony of heaven' and had to obey God rather than man… They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest."
King continued, "Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church's silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are."
This bleak picture that King paints is the situation the church finds itself in today. And, because of this, as King predicted, many people believe that the church has "become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."
Ed: Evangelism has especially fallen on hard times. It seems that everything else—even good things like discipleship—has overwhelmed our passion for sharing the love of Jesus with others. What does evangelism look like today, and how can we begin to develop a passion for showing and sharing the love of Jesus on a daily basis?
Dominique: Today, effective evangelism is just as concerned with demonstration as it is proclamation. For far too long, evangelism—within many context—has been solely defined as oral articulation. The world is tired of hearing about God's love and not seeing it demonstrated. People want to see a counter-cultural witness that is fashioned after the life, ministry, and teachings of Christ.
The world desperately desires a church that is more known for what it is for, rather than what it is against. The world is yearning for our words to be legitimized through our love; for one another, the least of these, and our enemies. As Theodore Roosevelt said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Additionally, today, effective evangelism is concerned about the whole person, and not just saving souls. Evangelism must be holistic if it is going to be good news in the here and now, and not just in the afterlife.
In "Pilgrimage to Non-Violence," Dr. King wrote, "The gospel at its best deals with the whole man [sic], not only his soul but his body, not only his spiritual well-being, but his material well-being. Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial."
Holistic evangelism recognizes and tends to the spiritual, mental, and physical needs of people.
Finally, effective evangelism summons the church into the margins, not because God is not already there, but because God has commissioned us to serve as co-laborers and ambassadors of reconciliation. God appoints the church to traverse fortified boundaries of belonging, to wade into socially detestable kinship.
We are called to not conform to the patterns and logics of this world, and this means thinking differently about, and interacting distinctively with, stigmatized place, people, and groups. The Apostle John tells us in John 4:4, "Jesus had to go through Samaria."
The integrity of the gospel depended on it. Jesus shows us in this passage that his followers cannot abide by social status quos. Scripture calls us to see our inherent connections to others across lines of difference—be they ethnic, racial, or economic.
Healthy evangelism helps us realize that we are covenantally bound to one another. And, even when the world says stigmatization is permissible, the gospel calls us to a distinctive—Christ-like—engagement with those we have been taught to fear, avoid, and see as inferior.
Ed: You are a plenary speaker at our 2019 Amplify North American Evangelism Conference next summer, and you are talking about "Why must all of us be preoccupied by the love of God." Tell me why our focus on the love of God is so critical today.
Dominique: John 13: 34-35 says, "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
We have failed to love one another as Christ has loved us. This failure has distorted our witness in the world and served as a stumbling block for many people who have yet to come to know the goodness of God.
We must all be preoccupied by the love of God because God's love is supposed to inform how we love. The sacrificial, self-giving nature of God's love should be a hallmark of the church. Scripture declares that our love has a missional and evangelistic purpose. How we choose to love ultimately bears witness to our true citizenship.

Happy Monday ladies,
I thought I would do a blog post about the things I am dying to buy and hopefully I will very very soon 😉 They may just be my next pay day treats 😝 There are so many things I am dying to try. Maybe you have these products and love them. If so please do let me know😘
Nars Sheer Glow & Laguna Bronzer
This is a foundation that is mentioned in so many YouTube tutorials that I watch. (I'm addicted). It seems to be just flawless and the majority of people love it. Now, It's €41 on the bt2 website. I suppose it is just a few euros more expensive than my Mac make up that I use on a daily basis. There are a lot of shades available in this foundation. I think I would have to take a trip into BT2 to test a few out before purchasing one.
The coverage seems to be nice and leaves your skin glowing. Hence the name. Hmm will I buy it?! 🙈
Available here to buy.
This Laguna bronzing powder looks amazing for contorting, again I've seen it in a lot of make up tutorials and my god it's fab! Although I don't know if I can justify paying €38 for a bronzing powder when you can get ones that do the job for much cheaper. But let's be honest. We all love having the popular brands in our make up bags.
This bronzer has a subtle shimmer which adds a healthy glow too. I mainly want this to achieve a gorgeous contoured face. What do you think gals? Could you spend €38 on a bronzer? It is available here to purchase.
Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadow Range.
I think I am the only person in the world that doesn't own any inglot eye shadows. I believe they are AMAZING! My gorgeous friend @nicolawhelanx has shadows from inglot and she swears by them. Everybody says the pigment is so good and they're just as good or even better than MAC shadows. There are 100's of colours to choose from and you can mix and match to build a palette that suits you.
Who else follows all the amazing make up artists on Instagram?! My two favourites are @nicole_cardiff & @fionahogan_ They're both so good at their jobs!! Go give them a follow on Instagram.
The eyeshadows aren't that expensive either. One single shadow is €6 then you can buy empty pallets or fill up a palette which is cheaper. I can't wait to customise a palette for myself. I think j will be going for some peachy/orange tones. I'm obsessed with them recently.
Mac Lip Liners.
I am seriously behind on the whole lip liner bandwagon but I'm ashamed to say that I don't own any Mac Liners. 😓
If you follow Ashley Kehoe (She's a fashion stylist for Forever21) on Instagram you will know she's a lip liner queen. I get seriously Lip envy 😂
Liner makes such a different to your lips and lipstick! I love all the nude shades and I'm dying to get my hands on spice and oak. They cost €16.50 and are available online here. If you don't want to splash out on MAC lip liners, NYX Cosmetics and Essence do good dupes. 💄
Urban Decay All Nighter and Inglot's Make up fixer Setting Spray.
Who else hates when your make up slowly fading off on a night out! Urban Decay's All nighter spray has been out for a long time and I believe it does what it says on the tin – keeps your make up on all night. I'll have to see for myself. It acts almost like a hairspray. Keeps your make up looking flawless. It costs €18.66. But at the minute it is on sale HAPPY DAYS. Available online here
The inglot one is new on the market and I'm looking forward to testing it out. I'm not sure how much it is but its under €30 for sure. Maybe €24 for the big bottle and €14 for the smaller size. You can have a look at it here
So that's all the beauty products I've been dying to try 💄 What products are on your shopping list? 😍
I hope your having a good Monday ladies. Happy shopping 😉

Russell Martin believes Norwich City fans will like what they hear when the Canaries unveil their new structure behind the scenes at Carrow Road later this week
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Norwich City's present was a frustrating Carrow Road affair – but the fans will like what's in store for the future, according to Russell Martin.
The first game of the post-Alex Neil era saw City's 10 men earn a draw with struggling Blackburn, but it's the future direction of the club that City supporters' attention is focusing on.
City have already teased a major announcement this week over the new structure at Carrow Road, which looks set to share the chief executive responsibilities between other positions while introducing a director of football role.
"We just want a clear identity, philosophy, DNA, whatever you want to call it nowadays – whatever's fashionable; you just want a clear plan of where we're going to go, the values of the football club," said Martin.
"It's been difficult and there's been a lot of change at the club, and it's not always easy to have continuity with that. What you need going forward is regardless who the manager is, that nothing else changes because you've got everything else right and as good as you possibly can off the pitch, which makes it easier for everyone to succeed on it.
"Listen, after speaking to certain people, they have got an idea of where they want it to go and it's something the fans will want to see, I think, the change.
MORE: Michael Bailey on the big questions Norwich City's board need to think long and hard about
"It's going to be a summer of transition. But what we've got is a board that cares about the club, they know what they want from it. They see the detached nature at the minute between the fans and the players, and it shouldn't be like that. That's down to us.
"Like the chairman said, we have failed at this minute in time because we're nowhere near where we want to be. But it gives people a chance to reassess and some time to decide where they want to go.
"It's a huge process but it's about the bigger picture, not just the next manager. It's about the whole club – structure, values, beliefs… so that if we ever lose a manager for any reason, you don't need to change so much.
"There's going to be some upheaval with that, but the club will have a direction come the summer and we trust them to make the right decision.
"It will be someone who comes in and impresses them enough to get the job. Whoever gets it will feel lucky to have it and the players should feel the same."
