Describe a TV program that inspires you a lot. You should say:
- IELTS Speaking Cue Card Sample 58 – Topic: A City You Want To Visit
- IELTS Cue Card Sample 83 – Topic: Describe A Movie You Recently Watched
- IELTS Cue Card Sample 75 – Topic: Describe a Game/ Sport
- IELTS Cue Card Sample 67 – Topic: Describe a Skill
- What type of program it is?
- What is it about?
- How often you watch it?
- Is it popular in your country?
Well I guess I could start – off by pointing something about the type of the program. Actually nowadays I don't watch television that often but I used to be a couch potato in high school years. I remember sitting in front of the TV and channel surfed until I sound something interesting. One day, a documentary on Discovery Channel named "The Sacrifice of Genius" caught my entire attention. I really have to add that this program was a serial that consists of 10 episodes. It mainly emphasized on telling the sacrificing life stories of some well – respected scientists in the world such as Louis Pastuer and Marie Curie. By their great passion in researching, those incredible people had gone through so many adversities in order to devote themselves to science. With reference to how often I watched it, as far as I remember, this documentary was broadcasted every Thursday. I was so passionate about it that no matter how busy I was, I managed to watch the box at 9 pm on Thursday. Although it is a really interesting program, it was not very prevalent during that time. I guess this is because people are often more fond of entertaining programs, rather than academic ones. But after all, this program inspired me a lot and provoke my persistence sense especially when I encounter difficulties in life.

text: It looks like many of Saleen's customers may be out of luck when it comes to the warranties on their vehicles. MJ Acquisitions -- the firm that recently purchased assets from Saleen, Inc. including the rights to the S and Racecraft lines as well as Saleen's aftermarket parts division -- sent a letter to dealers informing them that they're not liable for warranty claims and that responsibility would fall on the former owners of the brand. However, Saleen, Inc. announced it has completely ceased operations and will no longer honor warranty claims, leaving it to owners to pay for any maintenance on their vehicles regardless of when it was purchased. This also includes any vehicles languishing on dealers' lots, so any unsold 2008 or 2009 Saleen or Racecraft models will essentially come without a warranty. The small amount of good news is the MJ Acquisitions will continue to provide parts to dealers, and any parts purchased after February 2, 2009 will come with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty.

Controversial plans to increase parking charges and introduce fees to free car parks will be discussed by Calderdale Council's Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel..
The move comes after initial options were discussed by Scrutiny and Cabinet last month for a range of changes in the parking service to support local businesses and respond to reduced central government funding.
Cabinet asked for more specific proposals at its meeting in September. Since then the Council has been seeking further feedback from local people, looking carefully at their concerns and refining the proposed approach.
The Scrutiny Panel will discuss the proposal to change the currently free car parks in Brighouse to pay and display, with a single charge of £2 per day but the first hour would be free. The parking service also proposes introducing an on-street parking charge of 40p per hour, limited to one hour.
The Panel will also assess the suggested standardising of car park charges and the extension of on-street charging (keeping the one hour time limit) in Hebden Bridge.
Councillor James Baker, Chair of the Council's Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel, said: "The Council is still facing substantially reduced budgets, and changes need to be made in the parking service to achieve the required £603,000 savings.
"The proposals were discussed by Cabinet, and it's vital that the Scrutiny Panel also considers them to make sure the savings are made in the most appropriate way. That's why we were keen to hear more from local people and discuss the proposals in more detail."
The Council say the aim of these proposals is to support local businesses by ensuring availability and turnover of parking spaces.
The Scrutiny Panel meeting is being held at Halifax Town Hall on Thursday November 3 from 6pm.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has completed their investigation into the cluster of severe local injection site reactions in March 2011 that continued into April 2011.
Advice was then given to not administer the second adult dose of Pneumovax 23.
The investigation has now completed. The TGA considers that the increased reports of local reactions was not batch related but due to two factors. (Pneumovax 23 does have known high rates of local reactions after a repeat dose.)
- the increased number of people having a repeat dose following the inclusion of Pneumovax 23 vaccine in the National Immunisation Program in 2005 with revaccination after five years
- the increased reporting that followed the publicity of the batch recall.
The TGA has now advised that revaccination:
- should not be given routinely to immunocompetent individuals (that is, those with a healthy immune system)
- should be considered for patients at a high risk of serious pneumococcal disease, provided that at least five years has passed since the previous dose of Pneumovax 23.
Note this now differs from the current Australian Immunisation Handbook (9th edition 2008).
A discussion I had today with the acting in-charge at Communicable Disease Control Directorate, Department of Health, Western Australia indicates the schedule will most likely remain unchanged for Indigenous Australians.
Until this is put to us in writing (Medical Cordinator CDC WA is on leave at present) continue to withhold the second Pneumovax 23 ADULT dose.

Pennsylvania hospitals recognized for work to deliver a healthier commonwealth
Pennsylvania is home to a diverse hospital community, whose leadership and staff are focused on weaving the needs of their patients into every facet of their missions, plans, and projects. They are focused on constant improvement of the quality and value of care they provide, the patient and family experience, and the innovation necessary to keep up with the rapid pace of emerging technology.
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) annually recognizes these efforts through its esteemed Achievement Awards program, which began during 1978. The winning initiatives represent an acute focus on leveraging partnerships and inventive ideas to improve patient care and outcomes and invest in the specific health needs of communities.
Winners were chosen for Community Champions, Optimal Operations, In Safe Hands, and Excellence in Care across three divisions for small, medium, and large organizations. The "Living the Vision Award" recognized one hospital that demonstrated accomplishments in all dimensions of the Triple Aim of improving population health and the patient experience, while reducing health care costs.
"In the face of near-constant change in health care, one thing remains the same: Pennsylvania's hospitals are leaders in providing high-quality, innovative care, and improving the health and wellbeing of the patients they serve," said Andy Carter, HAP president and chief executive officer.
"This year's HAP Achievement Award recipients exemplify what it means to work within and beyond the four walls of their hospitals to help their communities address their most pressing needs, and work to create a healthier future. We congratulate all of this year's winners and thank each hospital team that submitted entries."
Fourteen winning programs were selected from 127 entries this year.
The 2019 HAP Achievement Award winners are:
Community Champions Award
Optimal Operations Award
In Safe Hands Award
Excellence in Care Award
Living the Vision Award
Entries were evaluated by a 16-judge panel. The panelists, drawn from Pennsylvania and across the nation, represented the public and private sectors, business organizations, consumer groups and renowned health care quality institutes.
Winners will be recognized at an award ceremony on May 23 during HAP's annual Leadership Summit.

text: Sri Lanka ended up as they bowled out for a paltry 82. Sri Lanka has given a target of 82, the bowling of the indian bowlers was superb. Dhawan hit a six and a four off consecutive deliveries in the 14th over off Gunaratne as India secured a nine-wicket win with 37 deliveries to spare. This was their largest victory in terms of wickets in hand and deliveries to spare, and the 2-1 series result helped the MS Dhoni-led side retain their No. 1 ranking. Dhawan and Rahane did not attempt anything fanchy as they went about in a steady manner to keep India on track in the chase. India went past the 50-run mark in the eighth over.

Western-style juvenile justice not for Russians - poll
Russia has been working on introducing a juvenile justice system since it signed up to the European Social Charter in 2000.
The initiative, however, is opposed by many Russian conservative groups, not least of all the Russian Orthodox Church, which has called it an "alien western practice damaging family values."
Meanwhile, in a recent poll, seventy-six percent of the respondents said "parents and the family" should play the primary role in defending the rights of minors; 16 percent said it should be a state function, according to the survey, conducted by the VTsIOM state-run polling organization.
In comparison with western countries, where parents regularly lose custody of their children over seemingly minor offenses, Russians don't appear to want a nanny state monitoring their parenting skills.
A hefty 71 percent of Russians said they were against children's rights taking precedent over those of their parents, while 60 percent said minors should not be allowed to take action against their parents in the courts, according to the survey.
By way of example, an American woman in June 2011 lost custody of her children after spanking her 2-year- old daughter. Prosecutors said Rosalina Gonzales spanked her child with an open hand and left red marks.
She was charged with 'felony injury to a child' after the child's grandmother issued a complaint a police.
Gonzales, sentenced to five years' probation, was ordered to take parenting classes and to regain custody of her children.
The Russian Orthodox Church says parents should have a free hand in raising their children.
"The state has no right to interfere into family lives except for cases when there's a proved danger to life, health and morality of a child," it said in a resolution approved by Sacred Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church earlier this month.
The state should interfere as a last resort when the situation "cannot be eliminated through providing help to parents and using persuasion methods," it added.
Last week, the Church's Synod in Moscow criticized the possibility of low-income families losing custody of their children in situations where they could potentially no longer afford to support large numbers of children.
The survey showed 74 percent of respondents were against criminal prosecution of parents who leave their children unattended.
To illustrate the challenges facing individuals who are uprooted from their native cultures, a Russian executive and his wife made headlines in 1997 when they left their 4-year-old daughter at home in their Upper East Side apartment while they left for the evening. The couple, who explained to police it was customary to leave children home alone in Russia, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Their child was taken into custody by the Administration for Children's Services.
The survey questioned 1,600 people in 46 regions, with a margin of error not higher than 3.4 percent.

A cuddly, roly poly dog named Stanley Bear is my loyal and charming companion. He's stuffed with generous amounts of good nature, and he offers it freely when I need a hug after a long day on set or during a break in photo shoots.
Stanley is a Mastweiler who was only 12 weeks old when I rescued him through the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Walks and window shopping are among his favourite pastimes and he will sit quietly by my side during those rare, yet precious moments when we sit atop Primrose Hill and gaze over London.
He needs a big body to handle all his goodness, but when we're on walks some people cast a suspicious eye give and give him a wide berth. If they only knew his mellow nature, and how he's helped children overcome their fear of both big and little dogs, they'd want to wrap their arms around his neck and bury their faces in his fur.
That's one of the reasons I'm glad he's my number one fan.
Around the house, Stan is tops as a helper. When I fell down the steps once and banged my head, there he was, sitting patiently and then helping me to my feet so I could get the phone. He was equally gentle with my late mum when she was in the hospital. He literally went inside for a visit and I made a makeshift harness so he could pull her wheelchair into the sunshine and fresh air.
Stanley the Bear is quite cultured. He's a connoisseur of cooked chicken, a fan of classical FM and sings along in his own tune to the themes of Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia. Though he's only age three, I call him my biggest fan because – he loves me like no one else.

The recipe is below. Due to the length of time required for beating this frosting, you'll want to utilize a stand-style mixer. In addition, a candy thermometer is a must. Also, this style of buttercream yields the best results if made during a cool, dry day.
Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting
- 5 egg whites*
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp. white granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 sticks of unsalted butter - cut into chunks & softened (room temperature)
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract (other desired flavor)
- Food grade food color for tinting frosting (optional)
*Note: Refrigerate or freeze the egg yolks for future use in pound cake, lemon cured, or other "yolk-only" recipes.
- Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand-mixer & start beating on low speed.
- In a small saucepan, pour in 1 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water. Stir well to combine. Over high heat bring sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once mixture reaches the boiling point, insert candy thermometer and boil until it reaches 238 F. - also called "soft-ball" stage. (Avoid stirring the mixture during this step as it will help keep it clear.)
- While sugar is heating, increase egg whites to high speed and add the 2 Tbsp. of sugar.
- When egg whites reach a firm, glossy stage and hold their peaks, stop mixing - or mix on low - until sugar syrup is ready.
- When sugar syrup reaches 238 F. - makes sure it boils for approx. 30 seconds at that temperature and then remove from heat and let set for another 30 seconds or so until boiling stops. (The syrup is HOT and can cause burns - so do not touch it.)
- Next, while mixer is beating on medium-high speed, SLOWLY pour a thin stream of the syrup from the saucepan into the mixing bowl (near the edge) directly into the egg whites. Be careful not to let syrup hit the side of the bowl or the beater itself. Beat the mixture on high until it becomes firm and smooth and the sides of the bowl feel close to room temperature - approx. 7 to 8 minutes.
- At this point, you can start to beat in the chunks of softened butter, one at a time, until all have been incorporated. IMPORTANT: the mixture may appear to become curdled or grainy during this process - and if this happens (& it often does) - just keep beating until the texture becomes silky and fluffy. It may take another 5 minutes or so, but it will come together!
- Finally, beat in your desired flavoring and color until well blended. Now you are ready to frost your cake!

16Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for foreigners, hold him in pledge.
17Bread obtained by falsehood is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18Prepare plans by consultation,
And make war by wise guidance.
19He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,
Therefore do not associate with a gossip.
20He who curses his father or his mother,
His lamp will go out in time of darkness.
21An inheritance gained hurriedly at the beginning
Will not be blessed in the end.
22Do not say, "I will repay evil";
Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.
23Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And a false scale is not good.
24Man's steps are ordained by the Lord,
How then can man understand his way?
25It is a trap for a man to say rashly, "It is holy!"
And after the vows to make inquiry.
26A wise king winnows the wicked,
And drives the threshing wheel over them.
27The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the innermost parts of his being.
28Loyalty and truth preserve the king,
And he upholds his throne by righteousness.
29The glory of young men is their strength,
And the honor of old men is their gray hair.
30Stripes that wound scour away evil,
And strokes reach the innermost parts.

Do you like to eat out? Do you think you eat too much when you eat out? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are not alone.
A few facts about eating out in America
The average American eats out 4-5 times weekly, spending an average of $12 per meal. The average restaurant or fast food meal provides 1200-1400 calories. Since most of us need to lose weight, this one meal of 1200 calories equals 67% to 100% of what we may need in an entire day! A healthier meal would provide 500-600 calories total.
How can you start to make changes? Follow the 4 tips below and get an early start on your New Year's resolutions to eat healthier and save money:
1. Cut portions in half! A healthy portion at any restaurant is about half of what is typically served. In the 60's, a healthy portion for an adult at McDonald's was a small fry, a small hamburger and a small drink. In other words, a healthy portion for an adult was a Kids Meal. At 600 calories, it still is a healthy portion for an adult (even if the foods aren't the healthiest)! You can save money and your health by: sharing a meal with your companion or ordering a few individual items, like soup and a salad, rather than ordering a whole meal. Or order off a "light" menu if available.
2. Stop drinking your calories. One of the healthiest habits you could get into is ordering a non-caloric beverage with your meal, like water. The average beverage provides 400 calories and adds significantly to the cost of the meal.
3. Avoid the extras. Did you know the average appetizer is 800 – 2300 calories? Dessert is typically 500-800 calories. If you really love the pie or other dessert, consider occasionally just getting dessert for your meal!
4. Focus on the enjoyment of eating. Many people eat out partly to experience the ambiance and pleasure of good food in an attractive setting with company. Choose a restaurant because you like their food and plan how to cut your portions in half. Then slow down, relax and enjoy eating less because it is delicious, it is enough, and you are with friends.

You love your neighbours, the location of your home, local facilities, transport links and schools, but you're outgrowing the property or it's starting to show its age. If moving is out of the equation you're still left with two solid options – renovate or knock-down and rebuild.
Before delving into the pros and cons of starting from scratch versus updating your current home, there are some key things to consider which might make your decision for you.
How much you have to spend will be one of the biggest dictators of the path you take. If you have a budget of less than $200,000 it may rule out a complete knock-down rebuild. Remember that renovation costs can also spiral out of control, so make sure you do a full plan and work out your budget before starting any work or you may run out of funds halfway through!
TIP! If your renovation budget is creeping towards a few hundred thousand or beyond then it's definitely time to consider rebuilding, or at least weighing up the costs of both.
Age and condition
If your house is in relatively good condition for its age then modernising outdated kitchens and bathrooms plus adding a few rooms might do the trick. But if the wiring, plumbing, structure and foundations are all starting to go, it may be more cost effective to detonate and start from scratch rather than fix all these elements too.
TIP! Be mindful of any period features or character elements; if you knock it down these will be lost forever, and might impact your home's future value.
Council permits
If your home is heritage listed your decision might be made for you. Unless it's in a serious state of ruin, it's unlikely you'll be permitted to knock it down. There may also be heavy restrictions on how you can renovate, so make sure you do your research, speak to council and recruit the services of an experienced architect and/or builder who has in-depth knowledge of your area and property style. Even different streets in the same suburb can have varying restrictions – so don't assume that just because a neighbour has done something that you'll be able to as well!
While both are time consuming when you take in researching, planning, finding the right contractors and actually doing the work, it's likely that a knock-down rebuild will take longer than a renovation – depending on the scale of a renovation.
If your home has an inconvenient or odd layout, sometimes trying to make it work by moving rooms around, adding another floor or knocking out a wall just adds to the confusion. Starting from scratch means you have a clean slate and can choose a design that suits your lifestyle.
It's easy for feelings to come into the mix and overrule finances. Emotional attachment to homes where you first heard the pitter-patter of little feet, or a property that has been passed down through generations, might mean heart rules the head when it comes to considering knocking down a family home.
Depending on the scale of your renovation and how much disruption you're prepared to put up with, it might be possible to stay in your home while work's being carried out. This could potentially save you thousands on renting, moving and storage, not to mention upheaval in having to pack up and ship out. Living on a work site isn't for everyone though, and also won't be an option for substantial renovations or rebuilds.
Return on investment
There's a fine line between adding value to your property that will enhance its value and overcapitalising by spending money that could never be recouped. For example, if your land is worth $300k and with the current house is worth $450k, there's no point knocking down and rebuilding a four bedroom home at a cost of $400,000 when the area's median price of modern four-bedroom homes is $550,000. If you're renovating, think about how to maximise your financial return so you don't spend money unnecessarily.
Have you had to choose between a renovation and knock-down rebuild? What did you do and why?

Students in Professor Laura Garrett's ENGL 101 class visited the Tejon Ranch Conservancy to study first-hand land development and conservation issues common to much of Southern California. The students, all members of the Cal State LA Honors College, explored with conservancy docents the former Tejon Ranch, part of which has been set aside as a land conservancy and part of which is slated for a large land development project that has met with opposition and occasioned controversy amongst environmental and conservation advocacy groups.
Besides visiting the Tejon Ranch Conservancy and learning about its biodiversity, history, and the plans to conserve and restore part of it while developing other parts, students were later asked to write about the issues raised. Students could opt to write an argumentative essay that examined the development plans in relation to the environmental justice issues it raises. Alternatively, students could prepare a report that assesses the environmental effect of the project--as if they were writing a section of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Published at Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 - 01:04:01 AM. Worksheet. By Genevre Paris.
The Worksheet Dilemma: Benefits of Play-Based Curricula. It was three o'clock and preschool was over for the day. Four-year-old Jamaica, her arms full of papers, called out to her mom. Jamaica's mother smiled and asked, "What's all this? Your school work?" Jamaica nodded and handed the papers to her mother. Jamaica had spent a large part of the afternoon in her seat, pencil in hand, filling out worksheets. On one she had drawn lines from the letter "A" to the picture of an apple; from the letter "P" to the pear; and from the letter "O" to the orange. On another sheet she made her pencil go from the dot on the top line to the dot on the bottom line, thus making the lower-case letter "l." Jamaica's lines were a bit shaky, and her teacher had written, "You can do better" on the page. Jamaica's mother was concerned when she saw the comment and worried that her daughter was not performing well. In truth, Jamaica's work was fine. Her teacher's expectations were the problem.
Let go and all of those pieces will be selected together and will move together. You can click one piece with your mouse and move the whole thing. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move it, which is helpful if it's something so small your mouse can't click it properly. You can duplicate the shapes by having them selected and clicking "Ctrl+D." If you want them perfect lined up, just move it around. These handy red guidelines appear that will show you when it is aligned to another shape! And now you're done! At least with the PowerPoint section. However, there are a few more steps.

This was not a hard decision. Donald Trump is not fit to be President.
I could just leave it at that as he is so stunningly unfit that the case against him presents itself. But I endorse Hillary Clinton not just as the dramatically lesser of two evils but as a highly qualified candidate who, although flawed and significantly at odds with my own views about U.S. population growth, has the potential to be a great President and bring about great things for our nation and our planet. The stomach-churning level of false equivalence in the media, the myriad attacks against her and the seemingly limitless parade of detractors with their exaggerations and outright falsehoods, have managed to a disheartening degree to paint her as a kind of satanic political demon. And far too many Americans have accepted that portrayal as valid.
I shouldn't be surprised. Far too many Americans also believed in 2003 that Iraq played a role in the 9/11 attacks, in recent years that Obama was born in Kenya, and still today that global warming is a hoax. Of course, there will always be a subset of people who believe these kinds of falsehoods in spite of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, but I am shocked in this cycle by how many seemingly intelligent people, with no particular ideological bent, can see Hillary as just as dishonest and conniving as Trump.
Come on now, people.
This is not to say that Hillary is perfect. And the DNC's treatment of Bernie Sanders, who had my support in the primaries, is appalling. I line up much more closely with Bernie and Elizabeth Warren in my desire to see Wall Street much more sensibly regulated. And I don't know Hillary's real views on progressive taxation and free trade. My gut sense, in fact, is that she's too cozy with the wealthy and, at least in her first term, will probably give far too much away to the 1% in the hopes that they'll support her re-election in 2020.
It's only since the first debate that I have begun to relax a bit about all of this. At that point Trump had been inexplicably closing the gap, triggering bad memories of the Bush-Gore election in 2000, when a notably unqualified and inexperienced son of a former president defeated, largely on the basis of personal appeal and a similar false equivalence evident across the media universe, almost won the popular vote and managed to scratch out an electoral college win with the help of a Republican-appointed majority on the Supreme Court. So yeah, late September had me pretty anxious.
Now, I am cackling with glee at the box in which down-ballot Republicans now find themselves, having to choose between supporting Donald Trump–and losing the support of moderates–or rightfully criticizing him—and risking the ire of low-information Trump supporters.
I'm feeling so much better, in fact, that I'm beginning to think that this could be a wave election.
Imagine how much good Hillary Clinton could do if she had a Democratic House and Senate. Higher taxes on the rich should be the first order of business, of course, with that money then used to improve education, including free or very reduced tuition for public colleges, rebuilding and modernizing our nation's much neglected infrastructure–and the millions of jobs that would create–and shoring up Obamacare, hopefully with a public option or better yet, single payer.
Does any of this surprise my few readers, who might have thought, based on my concerns about the implications of large-scale immigration on U.S. population growth, that I would be a solid Trump supporter? If it does, then they haven't been listening. I am a populationist, yes, but I'm a progressive first, and, like the Hampshire College community at large, I crave a brighter future where the special interests no longer take priority in our national policy arenas. The collective progress offered by a Clinton victory that also manages to tilt the balance of power in the legislative branch to the progressive ideals of the Democratic Party overshadows in my mind the risk of still more rapid U.S. population growth.
I was not surprised, it should be said, that a leaked e-mail about Hillary's speeches to Wall Street executives espoused the virtues of open borders. I have often pointed out the obvious conflict of interest evidenced by Democratic support of higher immigration and the tendency of new Americans to support Democratic candidates. More to the point, however, is the less-obvious fact that the Wall Street elite is highly supportive of open borders, for the same reasons that they support lower taxes for the wealthy and privatizing social security. They know that population growth helps their bottom line, regardless of the ecological effects and the growing economic disparity in our nation. Indeed, from 1984 until 2001, the Wall Street Journal ran editorials every Fourth of July in which they called for a five-word amendment to the constitution that would read, "There shall be open borders." It makes me wonder how much the Hampshire College community appreciates the way that, in their attacks on those who believe we should reduce our immigration flow to a sustainable level, Dr. Betsy Hartmann and the Population and Development Program are doing Wall Street's bidding. Hillary, whatever she might believe privately, was happy to present herself as the open borders candidate to the Wall Street crowd.
Donald Trump, meanwhile, focuses on the supposed evil tendencies of illegal immigrants and refugees, with the goal of energizing his base. This is flat-out evil and has been rightfully condemned, but I am hoping that the new president and the legislative branch will not summarily dismiss the concerns of Trump's supporters. Trump has distorted the reality to the point where those concerns have been shaped into racist and xenophobic worldviews among a much-too-large segment of our society, but most of those people would not be susceptible to that kind of manipulation if they hadn't been living through years and years of continual economic stress, stress that I believe has been exasperated, in substantial part, by a quarter century of unprecedented growth in the supply of labor and in the resulting demand for housing and other goods. These people are legitimately worn down by the economic hardships they are facing. Trump is wrong to accuse Mexicans of being rapists and Syrian refugees of being terrorists, but the angst that he is channeling in this racist direction is real and pervasive. Plenty of studies have shown that racism and xenophobia grow in power during difficult economic times.
For the record, I have never been an advocate of mass deportations and have never emphasized illegal immigration as the primary focus of the debate about U.S. population growth. Over the course of the last year, I have concluded that the best course in regards to the undocumented population is a form of legalization but not a path to citizenship. This may seem inconsistent to some but that's probably because they are, with no small nudge from the Population and Development Program at Hampshire College, overlooking the population component and instead seeing the issue of immigration exclusively through the lens of racial politics. Seen as a component of population growth, undocumented residents make up less than a third of the foreign-born population and granting legal status to the eleven or so million present today would have little long term impact on population growth. Greatly increasing the number of work visas as desired by Wall Street, meanwhile, would have substantial population effect in a country that has already grown four times faster than the European union over the past three decades. The refugee program constitutes only a very small percentage of the total flow of immigration, and should be expanded considerably as other components of immigration are reduced to sustainable levels. This is especially important given the U.S. role in flaming the fans of violent struggle in the Middle East.
I look forward to seeing Hillary take the oath of office in January, and I honestly also hope that she has a Democratic House and Senate to support her agenda. When the dust settles and they look to revive the Comprehensive Immigration Reform movement, I hope they'll give due consideration to the needs of struggling American families and the ecological hazards of a still-larger wasteful U.S. population, giving a righteously uplifted middle finger to Wall Street's hopes for open borders. But we shall see. We shall see.
We can talk about population growth after the election, Secretary Clinton, but until then you can count on my support.

Dede Allen on Editing
"All the changes upon changes. A scene is stretched. A scene is too many things. It has too many subtleties. Or too much pathos. Or too much humor. A scene may be replaced by an alternate. Or the scene doesn't work until it's a composite of alternates. Maybe it's cut entirely. And with it gone other scenes don't work. The dialectic of film is that every time you add dimension, it changes what went before and after it to a degree..."
"To find out what isn't working is much harder than putting it together in the first place: changing and reshaping is more difficult. Maybe to get it to work you have to enter the scene differently. Or leave it differently. It's usually not a matter of tempo - or snapping it up. That I can do in my sleep. It's a matter of not playing the right person at the right moment, or hanging on a moment with another character. And that's what you want to emphasize. But then it doesn't work because it undercuts the next moment in the next actor's reaction."

- Plugin Name: WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors
- Stable Version: 2.0.3
- Author: JS Morisset
- Description: Sharpen and improve WordPress thumbnails and resized images for social sharing and better SEO.
- License: GPLv3
- Requires PHP: 5.5 or newer
- Requires WordPress: 3.9 or newer
- Tested Up To WordPress: 5.3.1
- Last Updated: 19 hours ago
- Plugin Homepage »
Have you noticed that WordPress creates small images that seems a bit "fuzzy" — nothing like the nice sharp original you uploaded?
The reason is that after an image is resized, that image must be sharpened — but WordPress doesn't do any sharpening, so the resized image remains a bit "fuzzy" — not what you want for a featured image or shared image on social sites! ;-)
The WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (aka WPSSO TIE) add-on provides this missing WordPress feature — it automatically applies a default amount of sharpening to all JPEG images resized by the WordPress ImageMagick editor.
Compatible with all image compression / optimization plugins:
Image sharpening / adjustments are applied during the WordPress image resize operation, so the resulting resized image / thumbnail can be optimized afterwards as usual.
Users Love the WPSSO TIE Add-on
★★★★★ — "This plugin helped me tune my images to look really good on social media. Great job!" - undergroundnetwork
WPSSO TIE Standard Features

It has been known to be a very beautiful thing when Snoop Dogg and Pharrell link up and this creative effort gives us Snoop going in solo while Skateboard P provides his trademark sound with "So Many Pros". The two easily cruise in their distinguished lanes for another hit to add to the collective resume. The West Coast icon takes his relaxed approach while the consistently energetic production keeps things well balanced. Really a great look for the upcoming Snoop Dogg album entitled 'BUSH' which drops in a little less than a month, May 12th. Be sure to head over to iTunes and get yours early.

The Nigerian forward, who will be a designated player, took some questions from reporters, and here is the transcript: * * * (How does it feel to be a Sounder?) "Good. I'm happy I'm here. (Sporting director) Chris Henderson came over to Valencia in Spain and tried as hard as possible to bring me here. Now I'm glad I'm here and I can't wait to see my teammates." (What do you know about the team?) "I watched a couple of the games last year. They have great players. They have a great team right now, because I've seen them play. I'm going to say I'm happy to be here and I really want to play with them." (Do you feel you play tomorrow, physically?) "With all the traveling and I've not been training for a couple days now, it all depends on the coach anyway. Like I said, I'm ready to play. That's why I'm here." (Was this felt like a long process or has it felt short?) "For me, it's not fast, because like I said, Chris Henderson was like traveling from Seattle to Valencia all the time for the contract to be done and all that. And Levante, they made things a little bit not easy. But I'm glad to be here." (Why did you think this was the right move for you?) "When Chris Henderson came to approach me with my agent, we were talking about coming to MLS to play. I was, 'OK, MLS is like the league and Seattle is like the team.' And I said, 'Yeah, they play good football.' I wasn't sure yet if I was going to come, it was because of Levante and all that. All of a sudden I just decided to myself, 'Why not? Let me try and come a different league and all that.' So that's why I'm here." (Do you know any of your teammates?) "Like I said, I saw them playing. I know the striker." (Eddie Johnson?) "Yeah, Eddie Johnson. He played in England and all that." (Ever been in Washington or the West Coast?) "Not really, but I've been to Miami before. I've been to America before. But like I said, I want to play. I'm here now and I want to really enjoy the football here. I can't wait to see my teammates." (And you'll be traveling again soon to join the Nigerian national team?) "Yeah, soon. Maybe on Sunday. I just wanted to see the players and the coach and everybody first and move on from there." (Do you know anything about the CONCACAF Champions League and Seattle being in the semifinals?) "Don't really know that much about it since I've been here now. I really want to try and play." (What do you know about the fans and atmosphere you'll see tomorrow?) "Like I said, I've been watching the games and they're crazy about football. They love the game. I want to really see how it's going to be tomorrow." (And you've been learning about the Portland rivalry?) "Yeah, they told me and I saw it on Twitter — the rivalry. I hope we're going to win tomorrow and I hope to see the game." (How did you handle the frustrations throughout this process?) "It was difficult, but like I said, I'm here now. So I'm glad."

Nemanja Vidic: Manchester United failures will lead to success
- From the section Football
Nemanja Vidic believes Manchester United's failures last season will make them a better team this time round.
United went out of Europe at the group stage and lost the Premier League title on goal difference to Manchester City.
"We had some young players play a lot of games last season and they'll have learned a lot - we all learned," said Vidic, fit again after a knee injury.
"In Europe we've had success in recent years - we've had three finals, a semi-final - and maybe we relaxed a bit."
United skipper Vidic, who returned to action in Sunday's goalless draw with Norwegian outfit Valerenga after eight months out, is confident United will be stronger.
He said: "We were punished and we can't allow that to happen again. We had a few injuries last season too. I hope everyone can stay fit this season.
"The young players can learn from last year, so I'm confident we'll be better this year."
Sir Alex Ferguson's side now move on to a high-profile encounter with Barcelona in Gothenburg on Wednesday ahead of the season-opener with Everton on 20 August.
Speaking to manutd.com, Vidic added: "For me, it was really good to have 60 minutes in Oslo. Hopefully I'll play even longer against Barcelona and I should be fit for the beginning of the season."
Defender Jonny Evans has resumed light training after undergoing an ankle operation and could be available for the trip to Everton.
Assistant manager Mike Phelan said: "We hope he'll be available for the start of the season. He won't have had the games under his belt but, if he's fit and progressing well, we'll push him forward.
"At the moment, Chris Smalling is going to be a bit longer in his recovery. He's had a setback, an injury, and he's progressing slowly."
United team-mate Wayne Rooney is pleased with the state of his fitness after his first run-out against Valerenga.
Rooney added: "I'm happy with how I'm doing. Everybody needs games to get up to match fitness, not just me. I'm training well, though, and I'm looking forward to the next few games. Hopefully, by the start of the season, I'll be ready to play."
Ferguson returns to manage the squad for the game after missing the match with Valerenga on other club business.
Patrice Evra has also rejoined the squad after the birth of their second child.

Said Eli Lilly spokesman Gregory Bordick: "Each 40-milligram Agritol caplet contains a full 30 minutes of barley forecasts, grain-storage hints, and, just in case you need that extra help nodding off, citrus-canker reports." Last year, the FDA declared drought-relief coverage "unsafe" for use in sleep aids after lab animals' hearts stopped as a result of exposure.

Burrows bound for state
By Jimmy Potts
After narrowly missing last year's UIL state powerlifting championship by 15 pounds, Olney High School senior Wyat Burrows would not be denied again after taking second at last Saturday's regional competition.
Burrows will compete at the state competition in Abilene March 25, becoming the second member of the OHS powerlifting team to make it to state following junior La'Anna Golden's second place finish in the women's regional earlier this month.
Olney could have three participants in the state meet with Raymond Carrasco earning a third-place finish Saturday and will be an alternative should another competitor not make weight or suffer an injury before the competition.
Although Carrasco's spot remains un in the air, Burrows second-place finish secured his place. He attributes his strong performance at regionals to his four years of experience and his zen-like mental state. Instead of driving himself into a frenzy from the roar of the crowd, Burrows said he accepts the crowd and calmly approaches the bar with a clear mind.
"Unlike most lifters, I'm a calm lifter," Burrows said. "Everybody else wants to get up there and jump up and down before they lift it. I want to be the one that calmly walks up, lifts it, sits it back down and thanks the judges. I don't really have a plan. Everybody is yelling around you and things are crashing to the floor, but if you're calm, and collected, it makes everything better."
Golden will compete this weekend in Waco at the state tournament. Olney Powerlifting coach Josh Holt said he is confident Golden place at state, despite this being her first year in powerlifting.
"She is very coachable and took to powerlifting quickly," Holt said. "I've watched her make a lot of gains in the weight room. It's been awesome ... I've told La'Anna, it's not about us competing against anybody else for a medal, it's what medal are we going to get."

This web site is dedicated to two population segments:
- The caregivers for Homebound Seniors.
- The Homebound Seniors themselves.
The former, for their very hard work and dedication. The latter, for their difficult stage in life. The Journal of the American Medical Association, the Journal of the Medical Directors Association, and the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society all agree that the Homebound Seniors are the 'most underserved' of all segments of the Medicare population.
I experienced the 'underserved' judgement when my mother-in-law was in an Assisted Living Facility. My mother-in-law was very frail because of severe arthritis. She not only had mobility problems, she could hardly use her arms and hands. The Director of this ALF pointed out to my wife and I (in front of my mother-in-law) "We only have two or three residents who are as bad off as your mother."
Well, that comment told us a lot of why we had had several problems getting attention to some needs. There are few 'Bedridden' seniors (about half of the 'Homebound' senior population – which represents 6.5% of Medicare patients) in Assisted Living Facilities. And with the ALF having to serve dozens of other residents, the unique needs of the Bedridden seniors, who usually have multiple serious afflictions, are not always recognized.
That observation then caused us to recognize that this same 'small incidence' fact was responsible for problems that we had had with hospitals, doctors, nurses, etc. They only interact with someone who has as many afflictions, or in more technically defined terms, as many problems with Activities of Daily Living, as my mother-in-law.
To give an example, my mother-in-law had severe swelling in her legs. A doctor recommended compression stockings, of course. We got the measurements, went to an excellent medical supplies store, and ordered the stockings. The clerk asked us how many hours she spent in bed. When we told him almost all of them, he said she needed T.E.D. stockings. Otherwise she would be at risk of an embolism.
That prompted me to wonder – how many product developments are out there that could benefit the Homebound Seniors and their caregivers. I found out that there are many, and a large number of them have been developed by children of Homebound Seniors, who see the problems first hand.
So, the objective of this site is to inform the caregivers of these Homebound Seniors about new products as they come on the market. We hope that some of them will benefit the Homebound Seniors, and you, the Caregivers. To increase the chances of that we will regularly report on new products that could benefit Homebound Seniors. Catch up on new products for caring for Homebound Seniors by signing up for our newsletter!

Saint Anselm College nursing students who take "Care of the Elderly and Chronically Ill," taught by Associate Professor Caryn Sheehan, DNP, RN, have a special understanding of the issues facing people with Parkinson's disease.
Sheehan's expertise in the disease was funded by a fellowship through the Edmond J. Safra Philanthropic Foundation. The organization offers a visiting nurse faculty program that educates nursing professors on various aspects of the neurodegenerative disease that affects nearly one million Americans.
Besides incorporating the fellowship experience in her classes, Sheehan has shared her enhanced knowledge with health professionals. The Safra Foundation recently invited her to make a presentation about her work at Boston Medical Center, where she spoke to a team including occupational therapists, dietitians, physical therapists, physicians and nurses.
Sheehan's area of expertise is medical/surgical oncology and hospice care, but she has cared for many patients with Parkinson's over the years. People with this chronic disease have concurrent illnesses and needs that cross into all areas of nursing, she says, which makes it a challenge for teaching.
Through the fellowship, Sheehan attended classes and worked in the movement disorder clinic at Boston Medical Center.
"I was really struck by the variety of issues and disease severity in this population," she says. "Each patient was so different from every other patient with this disease that I wondered how I could bring that point to life in class for my nursing students."
She created case studies based on the patient issues she observed in the clinic and linked them to video footage of Parkinson's patients available online. Her students work in groups, virtually meeting their Parkinson's patients.
"By the end of the class, my students have "met" several people with different stages of Parkinson's and addressed issues including movement, nutrition, and medication management," Sheehan says.
The professor's work will inform her teaching-and the nursing field-well into the future. She plans to continue using this teaching modality, and she will use student evaluation data about the class in a future article. The project is posted on the Safra Foundation website for other nurse educators to use, as well.

The Entropy of Memory
Illustrated by Johanna Valeria Gamarra Torres
I notice entropy in memory.
Every moment of our life will become a memory; one moment you are experiencing something, and the next moment before you even realize it, it's gone and you are experiencing something new.
The scene that you were living two minutes ago was united, and it was ordered. Like a set in a play, all the elements that constituted the scene were in place; they were all part of that lived moment.
Now, two minutes later, everything has changed, a new element brought in: the entropy of memory. There are so many possible ways of remembering a moment, and so many possible factors involved in how we remember, including how we felt, and still feel, about the experience.
There are also far more moments of your life in your memory than you can access, than you can consciously remember. And when you do remember an experience, it is not always clear that it actually happened exactly that way.
Can you really tell whether your memory is accurate or whether in passing into your mind your brain has processed and mixed the memory with imagination, or re-interpreted parts of the scene?
Imagine in a place, some strangers are all waiting for the same thing. In a strange way, they are all united, and they all have a place in space. For a brief moment, the level of entropy is low. At the very next moment, the metro appears. Every mind becomes distracted by the moving object, and every thought is interrupted. All the sudden, a hidden mechanism opens a door, people are coming out of the train, and they are invading the original scene of the united strangers. The invaders are all walking in different directions, bumping into one another and generating noises. The level of entropy increases higher and higher. The original strangers are then separated, they are disunited, and they will all end up in different spaces.
If we take the memory of this moment in every brain of every stranger who was present, the scene that was a whole, that was singular, will now become plural and completely different. The scene has multiplied and every experience will be different from one stranger to another. The scene was one, it happened, but every being experiences the world differently, and the same scene becomes disordered by the different experiences of the beings present in the original scene.
A memory also loses its place in time when it passes through our brain; what was chronological now becomes confused and mix with every other memory that resides in our brain. The scenes that we experience are clear while were are experiencing them, but as a memory these scenes become disordered; they lose their place in space and time and become vague. The level of entropy is high in our memories.

How Different State Policies Affect Evicted Manufactured Homeowners
- Title:
- How Different State Policies Affect Evicted Manufactured Homeowners
- Author:
Esther Sullivan
- Source:
American Sociological Review
- Publication Date:
Public-private partnerships delivering government assistance and unclear regulatory frameworks may worsen the trauma caused by eviction from manufactured housing, or mobile homes, according to Esther Sullivan. Manufactured housing is the most prevalent form of unsubsidized affordable housing in the United States, but for a third of all manufactured housing, this affordability is created through land-lease arrangements in mobile home parks, where the residents own their homes, but rent the land on which they are built. These land-lease arrangements allow residents to be evicted at their own expense within at least 30 days of receiving notice of forced relocation. The author examined housing insecurity within manufactured housing, comparing the effects of policies and supports for evicted residents of mobile home parks in Florida and Texas. Sullivan conducted an ethnographic study in these states, living in and being evicted from closing trailer parks for two years and interviewing her neighbors. The author chose these states because of their differing policies toward evicted manufactured housing owners. Florida has a protective approach that administers state-assistance funds through public-private partnerships, while Texas employs a hands-off approach. Sullivan considers the policy implications of her qualitative findings.
Key findings
- Evictions caused disruptions and resulted in worse living conditions for residents in both states, demonstrating how the affordability of their mobile homes helped them live on limited and fixed incomes.
- Mobile home park residents evicted in Texas experienced a costly and disruptive relocation process because of the state's laissez-faire state assistance, but this disruption was shortened compared with counterparts in Florida.
- Policies in Florida that intended to alleviate the negative effects of eviction produced a more prolonged and confusing relocation process instead, leaving residents feeling bewildered, helpless, and reliant on private actors that profited on their eviction.
Editor's Note: The second-to-last sentence describing the study was updated on June 9, 2017 to clarify that Florida administers state-assistance funds through public-private partnerships.

Struggling with sustainability: A comparative framework for evaluating sustainable development programs
Mog, J.M.
MetadataShow full item record
Summary: Sustainability is an inherently dynamic, indefinite and contested concept. Sustainable development must, therefore, be seen as an unending process defined not by fixed goals or the specific means of achieving them, but by an approach to creating change through continuous learning and adaptation. How, then, do we evaluate a development programs contribution to such a process? This paper constructs a framework for evaluating sustainable rural development programs using both process- and outcome-oriented criteria, and demonstrates its application. The SANREM CRSP/SEA research and development program in The Philippines, including ICRAFs efforts to organize communities around agroforestry and environmental conservation is assessed.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday morning opened fire at Palestinian fishermen and farmers in Gaza Strip.Â
According to local sources, Israeli forces stationed along the eastern border of Gaza opened their machinegun fire at Palestinian farmers.
No injuries were reported during the shooting attack.
Meanwhile, Israeli war boats opened fire at a number of Palestinian fishing boats off the shores of Gaza.Â
The fishermen were forced to return ashore. Luckily, no one was injured in the assault.Â
Under an inhumane siege, the Israeli army keeps attacking, injuring and killing civilians, farmers and fishermen almost on a daily basis, without any shred of respect for the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal in Gaza or even the international law.

The Free Trade Zone as well as the Non-Free Trade Zone companies in Dubai and other Emirates of UAE must have the respective trade license for its business activities.
The only exception are the UAE offshore companies – these companies are not required to have such trade license.
What is the whole concept of licensing of the FTZ and LLC companies?
In Dubai, UAE, by the provisions of law, there are no companies which can do all types of business – each company can do only some specific business, for example, trading or production or consulting or any other type of activity and shall obtain the licence for such specific business.
Can the company in Dubai or other Emirates have more than 1 license.
Yes, companies can have more than 1 license, subject to fulfilment of the respective requirements.
Who issues the licenses for FTZ and LLC companies ?
For the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) companies the licenses are issued by the respective Free Trade Zone authority.
For non - FTZ companies licenses are issued by respective economic department, for example, for the Dubai companies – by the Dubai Economic Department.
Are there any special requirements for the trade licenses to be fulfilled?
Yes, for each license there are some requirements whereby, for most of the licenses, these requirements are quite basic and only some licenses require additional approvals.
Standard licenses are, for example, trading, consulting and commercial. The standard requirements for such licenses slightly differ from Free Trade Zone to Free Trade Zone and are normally as follows:
- Higher education diploma of the company director.
- Short business description to be prepared and provided to FTZ administration.
- The company shall fulfil the minimum office size requirements (which can be different deepening on FTZ or LLC requirements – from service desk to regular office of some certain size).
- Required share capital – the requirements depend on the type of the license and the FTZ – can be from 0 to AED 1 mio. and higher whereby share capital of 1 mio. and higher is applicable only in some certain special cases, for example, for real estate agency.
Special additional approvals are required for specialized licenses, for example:
- University – such license requires additional approval of the Ministry of Education of UAE.
- Travel agency – such license requires additional approval from Ministry of Tourism of UAE.
Companies with standard trade licenses may also require additional approvals. Example – if the trading company deals with hazardous materials it needs special approvals to handle with such.
Such additional approvals follow the idea of making sure that the services which are to be provided by the company are fully in line with the quality and safety standards of UAE.
Our professional advisors team has extensive experience in preparing all the required documents and obtaining the licenses for practically any type of business activities in Dubai and other Emirates of the UAE.

Published at Sunday, July 22nd, 2018 - 10:46:17 AM. Bedroom. By Alisz Schmitt.
You're missing on a lot of decor opportunities if you're utilizing the space at the foot of your bed for anything. It may seem like an insignificant thing to do but placing a bed bench there can really improve the decor and ambiance in the room. Bedroom benches are not must-have furniture piece but they definitely have an important role in the overall aspect of this space. The great thing about them is that there are so many different design possibilities and so many variations that you can be sure you'll find something that suits your style and needs. If not, you can always improvise or having something custom-made just for you.
As for the lighting, it should create a warm and soft impression by using dark colored lamp shades. Should you choose to display any artwork in the bedroom, it should be in classical style. The best types of paintings to display in traditional bedroom design are landscape and portraits. Finally, a plush oriental rug would complete the traditional look in the room.

It was only just over a week ago that we learned that Muv-Luv was a lock for Vita, but now we're back to tell you that it's getting a physical version as well.
That's right folks, according to the Muv-Luv Kickstarter page you can secure yourself a physical copy of the game (which includes the entire trilogy) for an $80 pledge and a wait 'til next November.
If the base game (the entire trilogy – but just the games) isn't enough for you then there's also the $150 pledge option, which will net a signed collector's display box, a special artbook, and the Master OST on a physical DVD.
Muv-Luv is currently set to hit PlayStation Vita in March with Extra and Unlimited storylines, and then in August for Alternative. It seems as if the wait for a physical version will be a little longer than the wait for the digital one however, so keep that in mind!

NetNewsWire, one of the first RSS readers originally developed by Brent Simmons and later acquired by Black Pixel in 2011, has made a reappearance before Google Reader shuts down on July 1st.
NetNewsWire 4.0 is the result of nearly two years of work, modernizing an app which was introduced in 2002 and saw its last major update to 3.0 in 2007. Before Black Pixel acquired the popular news reader, a light version of NNW 4.0 was introduced to the Mac App Store, but it was significantly paired down in features compared to the original version.
NNW 4.0 is currently focused on the reading experience, syncing RSS feeds locally to a Mac and otherwise absent of any background syncing services. During the public beta, Black Pixel plans on continuing to build out their background syncing service, and will be revisiting the core design of their iOS apps to bring them up to date the new design language introduced in iOS 7. For those wanting to try NNW, you can import your RSS feeds from Google Reader by logging into the service from the app or through an OPML file.
The latest version of NNW is focused on discovery, sharing, and a distraction free reading experience that consolidates all of your favorite web articles in a single place. In NNW, you'll be able to subscribe to popular feeds if you're just starting out and need recommendations, bookmark your favorite articles, mark sites as your favorites, and have multiple articles open at the same time (useful for following an unfolding story).
NNW 4.0 will be available for $20 when it launches, but those who pre-order during the beta period can get it half off. You can download the public beta and read more about the latest changes on Black Pixel's blog.
