Federalist Papers
From lawbrain.com
A collection of eighty-five essays by Alexander Hamilton (1755–1804), James Madison (1751–1836), and John Jay (1745–1829) that explain the philosophy and defend the advantages of the U.S. Constitution.
The essays that constitute The Federalist Papers were published in various New York newspapers between October 27, 1787, and August 16, 1788, and appeared in book form in March and May 1788. They remain important statements of U.S. political and legal philosophy as well as a key source for understanding the U.S. Constitution.
The Federalist Papers originated in a contentious debate over ratification of the U.S. Constitution. After its completion by the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, the Constitution required ratification by nine states before it could become effective. A group known as the Federalists favored passage of the Constitution, and the Anti-Federalists opposed it.
To secure its ratification in New York State, Federalists Hamilton, Madison, and Jay published the Federalist essays under the pseudonym Publius, a name taken from Publius Valerius Poplicola, a leading politician of the ancient Roman republic. Their purpose was to clarify and explain the provisions of the Constitution, expounding its benefits over the existing system of government under the articles of confederation.
Hamilton, a New Yorker who served as treasury secretary under President George Washington from 1789 to 1795, was the principal architect of The Federalist Papers. Hamilton conceived the idea for the book and enlisted the aid of Madison and Jay. He is thought to have written fifty-one of the essays: numbers 1, 6–9, 11–13, 15–17, 21–36, 59–61, and 65–85. Madison, who served two terms as the president of the United States, from 1809 to 1817, probably authored twenty-six of the papers: 10, 14, 37–58, and 62–63. Madison and Hamilton probably wrote papers 18–20 together. Jay, who sat as the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, from 1789 to 1795, wrote five essays: 2–5 and 64.
The essays presented a number of arguments with great importance for the founding of the U.S. government. They forcefully made the case for a strong union between the states (numbers 1–14); the ineffectiveness of the Articles of Confederation (15–22); the advantages of a strong, or "energetic," central government (23–36); and a republican government's ability to provide political stability as well as liberty (35–51). The later essays examined the roles of the three branches of government—the legislative (52–66), the executive (67–77), and the judicial (78–83)—as well as the issue of a bill of rights (84). The last essay consists of a closing summary (85). In making their arguments, the authors also discussed the benefits of federalism, under which the state and federal governments would each have a distinct sphere of power.
Several of the essays have been especially influential in U.S. political history and philosophy. The most famous, Federalist, no. 10, by Madison, concerns the dangers and remedies of factionalism for a republican government. Madison, seeking a "republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government," argued that a large republic of the kind envisioned by the Constitution will be less likely to fall victim to disputes between different factions than will a small republic. Here and in essay 51, Madison claimed that the diversity, or "plurality," of interests that exist in a large commercial republic will prevent any one faction from uniting to deprive the rights of a smaller faction.
The essays on the role of the federal judiciary have had a lasting influence on U.S. law. Essay 78 contains an important defense of the principle of judicial review, the power that allows the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down laws passed by Congress. In number 80, Hamilton argued for the establishment of a system of federal courts separate from state courts, an idea that was realized several years later.

Our first snow of the year 2019.
This place is not actually the fantasy world of Narnia, but it's close. It's where my happiness is. My home.
Maybe the talking lion will show up.

Our first snow of the year 2019.
This place is not actually the fantasy world of Narnia, but it's close. It's where my happiness is. My home.
Maybe the talking lion will show up.
(*photo taken by my wife)
(*photo taken with an iPhone during my morning run)
Story behind the photo:
Few months after we moved to Iowa in 2004, we were scouting for a permanent place to live in. We found a vacant lot for sale, whose front view is the above photo. We fell in love with the place and the view, a typical Iowa landscape of farm, barn and silo. However at that time, we were not ready to buy, and somebody else bought the property and built a house there. We were crushed.
I could have been waking up to this view every day! But it was not meant to be.
More than a year later, we found a house less than a mile away from this lot, with such an impressive view as well (maybe even better), which now I wake up to. To this I am very grateful.
Moreover, I can still enjoy the view in the above photo, when I go on my morning run.
I went out for a run in our neighborhood this morning. It was a beautiful summer day.
As usual, I spotted many deer along the way. But unlike before, where they were too fast and scurried away before I get close, this time they seem to stand still and let me take their photo.
There's even two in one shot.
Also a mother and her fawn.
Even the rabbits were not bounding away, as I was approaching.
I even stopped to smell the flowers.
Or maybe taking photos was just my excuse to stop and take a breather, in completing my 5-mile run.
And here's one deer that even crossed my path. I was able to capture it in action.
Just like the slogan of John Deere: nothing runs like a deer. Have a good day!
(*photos taken with an iPhone)
Parang kumot na sumusuklob sa damong giniginaw,
O balabal na bumabalot sa paligid kong tanaw,
At parang kurtinang tumatabing sa araw na sumisilaw,
Ang mga ulap na humahalik sa lupa at nanliligaw,
Gaya ng pag-ibig na tila hamog sa pusong nauuhaw.
(*photos taken with an iPhone during my morning run)
Post Note: since a reader asked, here's the English translation for my non-Filipino readers and followers:
Like a blanket that covers the shivering grass,
Or a heavy cloak that the surrounding it wraps,
Or like a curtain that veils the sun's glare,
Are the clouds that court and kiss the earth,
Just like love is like the dew to hearts that thirst.
Where have all the snow gone, long time passing?
Where have all the snow gone, long time ago?
Where have all the snow gone?
Gone to melting everyone.
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Hope they'll spring soon everyone.
(*Post is inspired by the seasonably warm February we are having these couple of days. It reached 60º F yesterday. Average temperature this time of year here is in the 20's. Photo taken today from the driveway.)
It's been more than a couple of weeks that we have returned from our trip to the Philippines.
I have fully recovered from the jet-lag. My tracks of the mosquito bites were all gone. My sunburn have healed. The stash of the butong pakwan (watermelon seed) that we brought back is almost gone. And all that I have left are the sweet memories of home.
I miss the Philippines.
As September rolls in, heralding the end of summer, we brace for the coming cold season. Yet waking up to this beautiful morning, is not bad at all. Not at all.

However, I fear that I was not such a "blessing" to others this week. Lately my work has had its challenges, and there are times that I get a little out of sorts and impatient when things don't go exactly as planned. Having such responsibilities doesn't always bring out the best in me. I allowed my frustrations to overflow my better sense of handling things with wisdom and patience...and my tongue got the better of me. It spoke when it shouldn't have spoken...when it would have been better to refrain from speaking at all...
All on the same day that I had planned to share a devotional with our staff...to tell them about "Counting 1000 Gifts" (see www.AnnVoskamp.com), on the very same morning that I wanted to express the joy of "giving thanks"....having grace from on High on display...not grief from impatience and anger. I failed.
Thankfully, God was there in the midst. He still was able to get His message of grace and love and thanksgiving across to those who listened patiently, in spite of the messenger who had already demonstrated too much humanity for one day.
This morning in my devotional reading I was directed to Ecclesiastes 3:1-11, you know the verses..."To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven...", and the question was asked as to what spiritual season am I experiencing right now, and could I name it's challenges and gifts? Good question. I'd like to think I am in a more mature spiritual season of life, but then I go and have a day where I blow it and don't act very mature at all, and I realize that no matter in which season of life I may be living, I always need to lean on the Lord and allow my thoughts, words, and actions to be "seasoned" with His grace.
I was reminded of an old Gospel Hymn that you may remember and sing along with me:

Which tweener small CUV should you buy?
Small crossovers are all the rage these days. So much so that Mitsubishi makes two of them! This year, it's giving the older one a major front and rear redo. Yes, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is all new from the windshield forward and gets new wheels, rear fascia, and LED head- and taillamps. Interior sprucing includes a new center stack area sporting a bigger 8.0-inch screen on most models plus nicer-looking and -feeling knurled silver knobs for the infotainment volume, tuning (new this year), and climate controls.
Mitsubishi isn't on everyone's radar nowadays—especially folks living in the 39 percent of our great nation not currently served by a dealership (they're working on it!)—so we figured you could use some help deciding between the two subcompact Mitsubishi crossovers. For comparison, we're also including a third mainstreamer that's almost the same size, shape, and price—the Nissan Rogue Sport (the Kia Niro is also super close size- and price-wise if you want a fourth option).
What the Salesperson Will Tell You:
"The Eclipse Cross is our more high-tech, stylish, sportier-driving CUV, and the Outlander Sport is more mainstream and affordable." Well, sure enough, there's more styling on the Eclipse Cross, though we think the changes to the Outlander Sport for 2020 close the extroversion gap. And there's no denying that with base prices ranging from about $23,500 to $28,000 USD (the manual transmission is dropped for 2020; expect official pricing closer to the September launch), the Outlander Sport is generally a bit cheaper than an Eclipse Cross ($24,690–$32,365 USD). On the tech front, however, the differences seem minimal. Meanwhile the Rogue Sport prices out between these two, at $23,335 to $30,405 USD offering similar tech. You'll have to decide for yourself whether you prefer Mitsubishi's "Dynamic Shield" or Nissan's "V-Motion" front-end themes.
How Do They Perform?
The Rogue Sport's 2.0-liter 141-hp/147-lb-ft four-banger is somewhat outclassed by both of the naturally aspirated Outlander Sport engines and by the Eclipse Cross' 1.5-liter turbo. The base Outlander Sport gets a 2.0-liter good for 148 hp and 145 lb-ft, while the GT gets a 2.4-liter producing 168 hp and 167 lb-ft (unchanged from 2019). The Eclipse Cross makes 152 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, but it's the heaviest of the three. All are equipped with continuously variable automatic transmissions. Comparing all-wheel-drive versions, the Outlander Sport 2.4L turns out to be the 60-mph-sprint winner at 8.5 seconds, followed by the Eclipse Cross and Outlander Sport 2.0L (9.0) and Rogue Sport (9.8). The cars sorted the same way in our figure-eight test: 28.0 seconds at 0.59 g, 28.5 at 0.56 g, 29.0 at 0.68 g, and 29.6 at 0.53 g. The Outlander Sports even out-brake the others from 60 to 0 mph 118 and 116 feet to the Eclipse Cross' and Rogue Sport's 125 and 137 feet. If tiptoeing off-pavement is your thing, the Mitsubishis offer various all-wheel-drive modes; the Rogue Sport offers an AWD Lock button. Of course, as these middling numbers pretty accurately indicate, none of these cars is likely to rekindle anyone's lust for an open twisty road.
Advantage: Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
How Thirsty?
Here, the tables turn in a perfectly predictable manner, with the poky Rogue Sport winning index-of-efficiency honors, with EPA city/highway/combined ratings of 25/32/28 mpg (9.4/7.3/8.4 L/100 km) (front drive) and 24/30/27 (9.8/7.8/8.7 L/100 km) (AWD). The 2.0-liter Outlander Sport front-driver matches the Rogue's AWD figure, then steps down to 23/29/26 (10.2/8.1/9 L/100 km) for the 2.0-liter AWD, 23/29/25 (10.2/8.7/9 L/100 km) for the 2.4-liter front-drive, and 23/28/25 (10.2/8.4/9.4 L/100 km) with AWD. The Eclipse Cross earns a 25/28/26 (9.4/8.4/9 L/100 km) rating with either drivetrain (so might as well splurge on AWD).
Advantage: Nissan Rogue Sport
What'll They Haul?
The Mitsubishis ride on the same 105.1-inch wheelbase—0.9 inch longer than the Rogue Sport's—but the more rakish styling of the Eclipse Cross leaves it measuring longer by 1.0/1.5 inches (Rogue/Outlander), slightly narrower, and considerably taller. The added height helps compensate for the steep rear glass angle in the cargo department, allowing it to miraculously fit more than 22 cubic feet behind the rear seats (the Outlander Sport fits 21.7, the Rogue Sport right at 20.0. Lower all the seats, however, and the Rogue's your schlepper by a margin of 53.3 cubic feet to 49.5 (Outlander Sport) and 48.8 (Eclipse Cross). Of course, whatever doesn't fit inside an Eclipse Cross can be towed behind it, as it gets an official 1,500-pound (680-kg) tow rating. The others aren't officially rated, though the internet suggests the Rogue Sport can handle 1,000 pounds (453 kg) and the Outlander Sport possibly 1,500 (680-kg) (caveat tow-er).
Tie: Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Nissan Rogue Sport
How Safe?
Mitsubishi equips both its entrants with knee airbags. Nissan doesn't, but it makes blind-spot warning and automatic emergency braking standard (including pedestrian detection in the top two trim levels) with optional intelligent cruise control, part of its ProPilot Assist Technology package. Mitsubishi's similar LDW and Forward Collision Mitigation only come on top GT versions of the Outlander Sport, and adaptive cruise control is not available. The Eclipse Cross makes most of that equipment optional. NHTSA has crashed the two Sports but not the lower-volume Eclipse Cross. The Outlander and Rogue Sports performed identically for NHTSA (four stars for frontal and roll-over, five for side-impact, four overall). IIHS has fully tested only the Outlander Sport, granting "good" ratings for all but the small-overlap tests (its original design predated that test), headlights, and child-seat anchor ease of use.
Advantage: Insufficient data
Bottom Line?
If you live where buying and servicing a Mitsubishi doesn't require an epic drive, and if you dig the aggressive new looks of the Outlander Sport, give the 2.4-liter model a spin. It's worth noting that Mitsubishi recently jumped to third place among non-luxury brands in the most recent J.D. Power Customer Satisfaction Index study. Of course, if you travel extensively, the Nissan Rogue Sport's better gas mileage and broader dealer network might be more appealing. Then again, if your prime goal is to stand out in a crowd and not see yourself coming and going, go for the Eclipse Cross.

Katie is the blondest blonde you will ever meet. She is a waitress extraordinaire at Ralph's-on-the-Park. All of the waitresses at Ralph's-on-the-Park are servers par excellence but you'll know Katie when you meet her. She'll be the one who is blond.
I don't have a picture of Katie to share with you. Instead, here is a picture of your humble narrator in the barroom at Ralph's-on-the-Park. Katie took this snapshot. She left fingerprints all over my phone.
Katie used to be a hairdresser. She has probably been many things over the course of her life but I'm not privy to any details about her past, or about her present, for that matter. When you meet Katie, what you see is what you'll get. That is more than enough. Anymore could overwhelm you.
Katie has a purposeful stride. When the dining room is busy, Katie is focused on making sure that everyone gets what they want when they want it, and the way they'll like it. Katie has presence. When she carries a stack of plates, other people instinctively get out of her way. She's on a mission. Whatever Katie does, she does it with a ruby red smile.
Here's a fun fact that you probably don't know: Katie doesn't like cranberry juice. She finds it too tart for her taste. In this case, opposites don't attract.
Here's another fun fact that you probably don't know: Katie has the softest hands you'll ever be lucky enough to hold. Very, very, very, very, very few people know this. Shaking hands with Katie is like taking hold of a cloud. Katie works hard but she has the softest hands—-they don't even have a hint of a callous or rough patch. I don't know for sure but I suspect this is sign that Katie has a heart as purely platinum as her hair.

6 Guidelines For Successful Survey Content and Design
All surveys have a few general "rules to the road" when developing content and survey structure. Keep these in mind as you go through the design process.
1. Make Things Simple at the Start.
Surveys should begin with a question, or short series of questions, easy to answer. Asking difficult questions at the start may discourage participation. For example, asking a rating question about a supervisor may be a bit more difficult to answer than one asking about whether you're happy in your job.
2. Be Mindful of the Number of Questions Asked.
A surveys job is to gather feedback about information that matters. Resist the urge to use lengthy questionnaires filled with questions that might provide results that would be "nice-to-know", rather than those that you really need to know. A well-designed questionnaire stays focused and orderly to optimize completion.
3. Essential Questions or Not.
One of the best ways to determine how essential a question may be is by asking yourself the following: "How will we use the results to this question?" If you can't see a use for it, then may not be needed!
4. Structured Questions vs. Open-Ended.
Most employee surveys use question formats that rely on rating scales or multiple choice. These are typically a bit easier to complete, rather than where there are no answer choices provided. That said, don't be afraid to use at least one open-ended question that yields a verbatim comment. Verbatims often bring life to what a survey taker is trying to convey and yield additional insights.
5. A Few Cooks, but Not Too Many.
Before developing the survey, get a general feel from stakeholders about survey content. Once you've heard from them, develop a questionnaire and have it reviewed by a colleague or two to make sure the content and structure is clear. Ambiguity or confusion are hinders to a successful process.
6. Responsive Design Probably Matters.
Finally, be aware of how your employees may be taking the survey. Today, most are done online and this means employees may be at workstation, on a tablet or even a smaller mobile device. This has implications on question structure and calls for a system that offers responsive design. Check to be sure your program can accommodate these various response possibilities.
For more information on how to make your employee survey successful, please feel free to contact Susan Griffith at 651-439-8066.

Are you visiting Costa Rica on a budget? Although it is one of the most expensive countries in Latin America, you can certainly save money traveling in Costa Rica. Do your research, give yourself some flexibility, venture away from touristic areas and you can enjoy the country without having to empty your wallet.
If you're thinking about traveling in Costa Rica on a budget, here are some tips that will help you save money traveling in Costa Rica.
How to Save Money Traveling in Costa Rica
Click the section to skip to it.
When to Travel on a Budget in Costa Rica
The cheapest time to visit is during the off season or rainy season
Tourism season generally follows the weather in Costa Rica since the influx of tourists coincide with the dry and rainy seasons. The cheapest time to visit Costa Rica are May, June, August – November.
Although July is also in rainy season, there are a lot of tourists from North America because of summer break and the local schools mid winter break schools. This time of year is also expensive and crowded.
The most expensive times to are during the major holidays and high season which are end of December to end of April
The weeks of Christmas, New Years and Easter are what we call peak season, as that is when both locals and foreigners have vacation. It is very crowded and expensive during those times of year and you need to book your hotels and car rentals at least a couple months in advance.
Travel in the off season for the best way to save money traveling in Costa Rica. Enjoy hotel prices $50-200 less, a bed in a hostel for $8 and special offers at restaurants. Many tour companies throw promotions during this time as well.
Read more about when is the best time to visit Costa Rica.
Saving Money on Airplane Tickets
Airfare varies depending on the time of the year you are flying into Costa Rica.
Summer months from North America are more expensive
A flight from Seattle to Costa Rica in July and August is around $700-800 to both San Jose and Liberia Airport. Dates outside of popular travel times are cheaper. September – about the 2nd week of December are cheaper to fly into Costa Rica from North America.
Check both LIR and SJO airports and your departure airport
Generally, Liberia International Airport is a little bit more expensive than San Jose International Airport but it is about the same now for certain times of the year. However, make sure to check both airports because there may be a big difference. Same goes for your departure airport. Southwest has many flights out of Baltimore and Houston so if you can travel, check prices from there to see if they are any cheaper.
Flight Hacking Websites
New flights are opening up to Costa Rica very often and due to high competition, you can find some great deals. I highly recommend signing up for a website called Scott's Cheap Flights which alerts you of error fares and cheap fares. I have seen tickets for $250 roundtrip from Chicago to Costa Rica, $300 from Tortonto to Costa Rica and many more.
Tips for Saving Money on Hotels in Costa Rica
Couchsurfing is the best way to save money on lodging but it's not for everyone. If you don't want to couch surf, check out these other options for saving money in Costa Rica.
Sign up for newsletter of hotel booking websites for insider deals, first chance at discounts and alerts
A lot of hotel booking websites will send you insider deals if you sign up for an account. Many of them also have a book 10 nights, get 1 free or another type of deal.
Like and follow the Facebook page of a hotel or resort you're interested in
Many of them use Facebook as their main promotion method and they'll post offers and deals on there.
Check discount websites such as Yuplon or Titicupon
Based off of Groupon and exclusively for Costa Rica, many Ticos use this website to find deals.
Many hotels offer promotions if you book directly on their website.
Make sure to check the hotel website first before to the travel search engines. Many hotels, especially in the off season will give discounts or have a promotion only on their website. Additionally, we offer 10-15% Costa Rica hotel discounts of some of our favorite hotels you can check here.
Check alternative lodging sites like Airbnb
For alternative options, check out Airbnb (get $20 credit here). Stay with locals who rent a room or entire apartment for cheaper than a hotel.
Use our hotel discounts!
We have discounts for a few hotels in Costa Rica: Casitas Tenornio B&B in Bijagua, Oxygen Jungle Villas in Uvita, Adventure Inn in San Jose, Drift Away Eco Lodge in Avellanas, Rancho Pacifico in Uvita and Manoas Resort in Uvita. Check our deals page to get the promo codes!
Read more about finding accommodation in Costa Rica.
Saving Money in Costa Rica on Transportation
When it comes to getting around Costa Rica, you really need to weigh two factors: time vs money.
The public bus is the cheapest option
To save money, the best option is to take public transportation. Bus tickets are relatively cheap and you can travel half the country for less than $10. However, the bus takes a much longer time with few direct routes. Therefore, if you're short on time, you need to plan carefully is the bus is the best option.
Use our discounts!
We have car rental and shared shuttle discounts for our readers. Save up to 20% on your Costa Rica car rental.
We also have a 10% discount for domestic flights with SkywayCR.
Costa Rica Money Saving Tips for Food
Eat at local restaurants called sodas
On-site hotel restaurants or ones in touristic places are much more expensive. Instead, head to the local town and look for sodas. Sodas are small Costa Rican restaurants that sells typical food and normally have local prices, not tourist prices.
Ask the locals where their favorite soda is and you can find Costa Rican food for a good price. When we were staying in La Fortuna, we asked the locals and found sodas and cafes that had breakfast for $4 and lunch for $5.
Eat at the bakeries
Musmanni and Tutu are two of the most common bakeries that sell pastries, sandwiches, sometimes pizza and drinks. Most pastries are about a dollar or two and they're usually pretty good.
Drink tap water or bring a filter
Although tap water is generally safe to drink in Costa Rica, many visitors decide to buy bottled water instead just in case. Buying bottled water gets expensive, not to mention the plastic isn't great for the environment.
Costa Rica Money Saving Tips for Tours
Follow the Facebook page of tour companies
During off season, it is common for tour companies to throw promotions like 2X1, 50% off or kids free. Follow their Facebook page to see promos.
If you're coming in a big group, ask for a group discount
If you're coming with a big group, make sure to ask for a group discount which most companies are happy to give.
Take self-guided hikes instead of booking tours
Instead of booking a tour with a company for $100 to the national park, drive yourself, pay the entrance fee and go on a self guided hike. You will need to find your own transportation but even if you rent a car, the prices will end up cheaper than paying over $100 every tour. For example, the Catarata Llanos de Cortes waterfall has a $2 entrance/parking lot fee but if you book a tour, it ends up being at least $80 per person.
Use our Costa Rica tour discounts!
We have discounts for many tours in Costa Rica. We have a 10% La Fortuna and Arenal tour discount, a $10 Tortuga Island day cruise, a Diamante Eco Adventure Park discount and more! You can check our Mytanfeet Costa Rica deals page to see all the discounts and promos we have for hotels, tours and transportation in Costa Rica.
How to Save Money on Souvenirs
Buy gifts is the local supermarket, not the souvenir stores and gift shops
For example, coffee is one of our favorite gifts to give as well as the chorreador (the wooden stand and sock to make coffee). If you go to the supermarket the "sock" will cost $0.75 and the stand around $3. At a souvenir store, it can cost up to $30 and more depending if it has paintings or designs. A bag of coffee at a souvenir store can be more than $10 and who knows how long it's been sitting there! At the market you can find good quality coffee for $3.
We do the same with t shirts and other items. High quality t-shirts with a Costa Rican design costs around $8 at the supermarket and the same shirt at a souvenir shop might cost $25.
If you do go to a souvenir store, bargain. You can perfectly bargain in Costa Rica so feel free to ask for a 10% discount if you're buying multiple items or buying in cash.
Although most Ticos have excellent English in the touristic areas, we like it when tourists greet us or even try to speak to us in Spanish. One thing to know about Ticos is that we are incredibly friendly and are much more willing to give discounts if you smile, joke and laugh with us. Soften us up with a "Hola, como estas?" or even better, "Pura vida mae! Tuanis!"
If you use dollars, make sure to check the exchange rate
USD are readily accepted in Costa Ric but there's a catch. Use your credit card but not all souvenir stores take credit cards. And make sure you check the current exchange rate as it has been going up the past couple years.
Currently as of June 2018, the exchange rate is around 560 to 1 but many locals and workers use the exchange rate of 500 to 1 since it's easier to calculate. By using 500 to 1, you're losing a little bit so don't let anyone stiff you on your change!

Upcoming film imagines a North Korea upended by coup
|Jung Woo-sung stars in "Steel Rain." (NEW)
This is the premise of upcoming film "Steel Rain," set to hit local theaters in December.
The film stars Jung Woo-sung as Uhm Cheol-woo, a top North Korean special agent who flees to South Korea with the North's leader to escape the uprising.
The film is written and directed by Yang Woo-seok, who previously helmed "The Attorney," an award-winning 2014 box office hit inspired by the late President Roh Moo-hyun.
"It's now time when we have to face our reality in the cold light of day and actively think about our future," Yang said in a press release.
Yang, also a webtoonist, in 2011 released a webtoon series of the same title centered around the death of North Korea's leader, the collapse of its society and a crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
The film is the latest in several North Korea-themed thrillers that have opened in theaters recently.
Director Park Hoon-jung's "V.I.P," released in August, depicted the South Korean government and international society's struggle over how to deal with a North Korean serial killer.
The film starred Lee Jong-suk, Jang Dong-gun and Kim Myung-min.
In January, director Kim Sung-hoon's comedy-thriller "Confidential Assignment" saw Hyun Bin as a North Korean special agent collaborating with South Korean police to catch a deathly North Korean gang leader.
Director Kim Ki-duk took a more serious approach to Korea's division in last October's "The Net," a drama film featuring a North Korean fisherman who accidentally crosses the maritime border to South Korea and experiences the shock of capitalism.
"(The film) is actually a very cruel film in itself, about how division tears apart one man's family and spirit," Kim said in an interview last year.

Previously on our website you may have recalled me talking about Dragan, after looking though an old photo album of our Medjugorje trips where I found this good picture of Dragan Zovko and his wife Maja. Dragan (a very common name in this region of Bosnia), is the most experienced tour guide in Medjugorje. We first met him in 1986 when he helped with the religious tour we were traveling with (our first pilgrimage to Medjugorje) through 206 Tours of New York. It was a commercial tour arranged through a travel agency here in St. Louis. Back then, there was very little housing available, and most of the pilgrims traveling to Medjugorje were housed with individual families who had signed agreements with the commercial travel agencies to provide room and board to the pilgrims assigned to them during their stay.
The catch in the agreement was that the travel agencies got to keep half of the fee charged to the pilgrims for the room and board. That may not sound too bad, but you must understand that each and every one of these families spend their life savings updating and remodeling their homes to provide the most modern facilites possible to their guests. To this day, most of these families have not been able to replace that original loss of funds.

The original concept of Science and Technology parks has been going through a frantic evolution just like the field of technology and knowledge-based products and services that underpin the entire foundation of this area of economic development.
We as individuals are becoming ubiquitously interconnected to everything – work, friends, family and our entire activity and consumption based agenda, whether for our career, relaxation and entertainment or just daily choices in lifestyle through our preferred networks of information suppliers. Science and Technology Parks are also evolving away from simply places for place-based investment that marries academic culture to corporate culture. These locales have traditionally been tasked with assisting innovation and high tech entrepreneurs with federal policies so that funding can be achieved by overcoming barriers to compliance regulations. According to Brian Darmody, Associate Vice President of Research and Economic Development, for the University of Maryland's technology development initiative, "Entrepreneurs tend to be non-compliant people, which is why they are innovators."

For those so inclined, a quick glance at any scientific journal or publication reveals a community of discovery that is exciting, complicated, and, frankly speaking, bizarre. Recent breakthroughs include, but are by no means limited to: the observation of a neutron star collision that gave birth to an unfathomable amount of deep-space gold; the growing of a premature lamb in a plastic bag; and continued development of the CRISPR gene-editing technique. Researcher's at the University of Cambridge even taught sheep to recognize Emma Watson's face.
Alright, so all of that is…interesting. But it also raises an important question: why? What's the point? How do we get from a celebrity-enamored sheep to a practical, commercialized good or service? The fact is, while discovery for discovery's sake is great, it's also expensive. Framing it another way, if research is to remain viable in the long-run, the knowledge gained must at some point make it out of scientists' imaginations and into the hands of consumers. Unfortunately, the road from discovery to dollars is not always an easy one.

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that consists of using a 10 gauge scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
Benefits of Dermaplaning:
- Removes surface debris of dead and dry skin with custom dermaplanning blade. It also eliminates that annoying peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup, leaving the skin feeling very smooth.
- Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.
- Improves skin texture and tone.
- Immediately diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Creates healthier, more radiant appearance of skin.
- Procedure can be done prior to chemical peel to give a more effective treatment.
Medical microdermabrasion
What is Medical microdermabrasion?
In microdermabrasion, a special machine applies a slightly rough applicator tip (either composed of tiny rough particles or a diamond tip) to the surface of the skin of the face or neck to remove the uppermost layer of skin. This results in a smoother skin texture. The procedure is painless and non-invasive. Multiple sessions are required in most cases.
Benefits of Medical microdermabrasion:
- Improved enlarged pores or clogged pores
- Helps decrease fine lines
- Improves mild acne scars
- Improves uneven pigmentation or poor texture of skin
Before a microdermabrasion treatment avoid sun exposure and discontinue use of any exfoliating products a week prior to treatment. This treatment has been compared to a 'sand blasting' for the skin. Chemical peel treatments can be applies after a microdermabrasion treatment to further increase cell turn over and a more aggressive exfoliation.
* Individual Results May Vary

"I don't know quite what he's talking about," Deana Bass, Carson's spokeswoman told the Washington Examiner. "Dr. Carson has a great support for veterans and veterans support Dr. Carson's candidacy, so there is no doubt about Dr. Carson's support for the military and for veterans. So I really don't understand what that means, what those comments mean."
But previously, Erickson said of Carson: "I don't see a rationale for his candidacy."
Des Moines Register:
Lead Pastor Chuck DeVos at LifePoint Assembly of God in Osceola told his congregation that Carson's visit — with 35 minutes of mic time at both services — was not a campaign stop.
Setting: Carson was guest speaker for two morning church services at LifePoint Assembly of God in Osceola.
Audience: Roughly 175 attendees at each service.
Reaction: Some laughter during both 35-minute speeches, followed by standing ovations at the end. The congregation stood with hands extended as the pastor prayed a blessing over Ben and Candy Carson after each service. Attendees shook Carson's hand as they left the services and some requested autographs and photos.
"You know, Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is, in a way—it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government." --Ben Carson

China removes deputy head of state asset regulator: anti-graft body
[BEIJING] China has removed the deputy head of its state asset regulator over serious disciplinary violations, but stopped short of expelling him from the ruling Communist Party, the government's anti-graft watchdog said on Monday.
Zhang Xiwu abused his positions for personal and family gain, and illegally engaged in profiting activities, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement on its website.
Although stripped of other ministerial-level roles, Mr Zhang retains a non-leadership position in the government and is still part of the Communist Party, the watchdog said.
He was chairman of China's coal giant Shenhua Group before being appointed deputy head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC).
President Xi Jinping has cracked down on corruption, calling it a threat to the very survival of the Communist Party. Scores of senior officials in the energy sector have been caught up in the campaign and punished.
Last week the commission said the president of China Coal Energy Co, Gao Jianjun, was being investigated by the party for suspected corruption.

One of the good ideas to get new decoration is by applying kitchen table sets with bench seating and chairs. Kitchen is a place for preparing meals and cooking. Contemporary kitchen consists of two types: wet and dry kitchen. For small house, this room is integrated with dining room. After cooking, the dining is ready. For this purpose, you need furniture with flexibility and still maintain the excellent decoration for kitchen and dining room.
Kitchen Table with Bench Seating Design and Shape
Kitchen table with bench seating becomes the popular item in this day because it looks simple and easy to arrange. Common dining table will have four chairs placed around. One person sits in one chair and you can move it into different configurations. In addition, bench is alternative to replace two or three chairs at once. Using bench will increase kitchen table arrangement.
The advantage of bench can be explored from new perspective. You might remember bench in park where people sit there together with barrier then talk to each other. Father may want to sit with son then having dinner without sitting in separate chair. This matter will increase family bonding which dinner becomes special event for both of them. However, benches do not definitely replace chairs because they have their own function and advantage. Combination between chair and bench in single table is proper way to accommodate your needs and preference.
Buying furniture in one set will save time and money. You do not have to get separate item. Commonly, table is rectangular with wooden as the main material. Its surface is plain and without pattern. Moreover, the table stand is placed at center like pillar because bench needs more spaces under stable. Chair is placed on opposite of bench. From this composition, you can understand why chair is necessary. Bench cannot cover every side of table. Mostly, it is placed at longest side then chair will fulfill the black side. Therefore, your room will look stunning with kitchen table with bench seating.

ROMS TV Announcements
Good afternoon Royal Oak and welcome to the ROMS News. Today is Monday, June 19th, 2017 and here is what is happening at 751 Travino Lane.
Do you know that up to 50% of the water in your drinking glass was created over 4.5 billion years ago - this means that about half of the Earth's water is older than our entire solar system, even the sun!
Fact or Fiction: Swallowed gum will remain in your digestive system for an average of 7 years? What do you think?
Do you know that Erno Rubik, who invented the Rubik's Cube, actually wanted a working model to help explain three-dimensional geometry and ended up creating the world's best selling toy? It took Rubik one month to solve his own puzzle.
1) Today's weather: This morning we have a mix of sun and cloud and a temperature of 14 degrees. This afternoon it's expected to be 20 degrees, with a 30% chance of light rain.
2) There are a lot of school events starting up. Be sure to listen to the morning announcements to see where you might get involved in your school.
3) Keep up your recycling. Recycling reduces the amount of garbage we send to our landfill.
4) Pizza day and chocolate milk is this Friday. You have to love pizza!!
5) Fun Fact: What does the X in x-ray stand for? The answer is that a German physicist discovered a new form of radiation in 1895. He called it X-radiation because he didn't know what it was. Yes, it's as simple as that. This mysterious radiation had the ability to pass through many materials that absorb visible light.
5) End of the Year Library Book Return: Just a quick reminder that book circulation for this school year has come to an end. If you are looking for something to read, please check out your closest public library. If you don't know where one is, please ask in the Learning Commons.
And now for the answer to our 'gum' fact or fiction question: Of course not! There's nothing for it to stick to in your digestive system, so although it would not be digested much, it would just pass right through.
That concludes our TV news cast! Please join us tomorrow for further breaking news stories here on 751 News!

State Ranking of Discrimination Charges
States vary widely on the number of charges filed. California had the highest number of charges filed with 1,211 total charges between 2012 and 2016. Several states had very few charges filed, less than 40 over the five year period filed. Due to data confidentiality, we do not report the total number of charges for states that had less than 40 filed during our time period.
Of course, states with more LGBT people are likely to have more charges of discrimination, but the overall charge numbers reported do not take into account the LGBT population size. Therefore, we calculate a rate of SOGI charges per 100,000 LGBT people, drawing from population estimates reported by Gallup. The charge rates varied from a low of 19 charges per 100,000 LGBT population in Massachusetts to a high of 333 per 100,000 LGBT population in Delaware. Please see our full report for a discussion of the methodology in calculating the LGBT population adjusted charge rates.
