Trying to make sense of this film split into two tonally incongruous parts.
Bridge of Spies (2015) is undoubtedly well-made and skillfully acted, but it left me cold. Was I finally outgrowing Steven Spielberg's high-popular cinematic aesthetic? Or was I missing something that the majority of viewers saw plain as day?
This conundrum was finally resolved when I came across a comment by Richard Brody, perennial bugbear and inspiration for this blog, which pointed to "filial piety" as Spielberg's central concern. This explained quite well Schindler's List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998), both about people in higher positions saving those in lower ones at great personal risk—and of course War of the Worlds (2005) fits even better. It also unlocked for me the key to finally getting Bridge of Spies.
Think of the two spies, Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) and Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell), as the wayward children and the two countries as two single parents, so we have two single-parent families. The parents each asks their kid to run an errand that gets the kid in trouble with the other parent, and since they're only kids, it's the parents who have to work it out. Add to this the subtext that each parent knows the other parent is behind the wayward kid's actions, and you've got some basic dramatic tension going.
This explanation has the bonus advantage of explaining the tonal disjunction. The film is about the spy-swap, yes, but the symbolic level is also about reaffirming American values of justice. In the first part, Abel's civil rights are violated, and the Supreme Court declines to restore them to him. Only in the second part is American justice restored, when Powers is received and treated humanely, while Abel (it's implied) is tortured. And finally, that the US government in the film only protects the rights of the US citizen is kind of balanced out by the fact that it doesn't torture the Soviet citizen, whereas both are tortured by the USSR.
Still not enthusiastic about the film, but at least it no longer keeps me up at night.

Amazon Prime Day (and a half) doesn't officially kick off until 3 p.m. ET today.
But, in an everlasting effort to attract shoppers and encourage Prime memberships, the e-retailer is offering some early-bird deals.
In the market for a home assistant or new tablet? Amazon is already providing "double the deals" on Alexa-enabled products like Echo, Fire TV, and Fire tablets, as well as new categories from home security to touchscreen devices.

Die-hard deal getters should also prepare for long hours in front of a computer or phone screen. And remember to always shop around—other retailers have promised to price match Prime Day discounts.
Die-hard Prime Dayers should also prepare for long hours (you'll have to sacrifice a little sleep for the full experience), and don't feel guilty for shopping around.

Classics with an Attitude with Carolyn Charkey
Classics with an Attitude has been on the air since KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins started in 2003 and is one of the few shows that has aired for all 15 years. Each show has a different theme, featuring an instrument, region, composer, group, or type of classical music.
Carolyn created Classics with an Attitude when KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins first went on the air. Her mother was a pianist and piano teacher who taught her to play when she was just 2-years-old, in an effort to stretch her small hands. Carolyn has played violin & viola, sang, played piano and taught Music Appreciation classes. While living in Southern California, she served on the board of the Pacific Symphony. Carolyn no longer performs, but classical music remains her passion.

Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night by Jason Zinoman (5 out of 5)
I have to tell you that most of my coworkers were stumped as to why I was reading this. Let me explain. I'm 44 and they're all in their early 30's and younger. They get their kicks on Route 66 watching the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and James Corden. I tell them the best Kimmel was when he was Ben Stein's sidekick on "Win Ben Stein's Money". I get blank looks. It's a generation thing. The same applies to David Letterman. I grew up being allowed to stay up all hours of the night and watch almost anything on TV. My mom was a huge Letterman fan. My Dad loved Johnny Carson. We had the best of both worlds watching the two Kings of late night. But as with many other points, this book raises the excellent point that Carson and Letterman were opposites in many ways, not just the general format of the show, but also their styles of comedy. If you didn't actually watch either, this book is a great starting point. And the younger generation really did miss out if they have no idea of the comic malevolence of Letterman. Their loss. I'm also sure that my many years of watching him prepared me for the acerbic, dry wit of several close friends of mine. I'm real fucking glad I was exposed to many years of his show. This book is a worthy companion to those years.
David Letterman's brand of comedy wasn't for everyone. The author puts forth many examples of this, not just from the vantage point of network execs, but from Letterman's detractors and even guests and those who worked with him. We get the full background from his childhood in Muncie, IN (With a family that wasn't demonstrative in affection in the least, it shouldn't be a surprise that his general contenance was exactly as it was on his show and in real life), to his days as a weatherman, to his first televised MORNING show. Yes, morning show. There was a morning show BEFORE Late Night. Late Night was a show that he personally suffered over, time and time again. The phrase "He suffered for his art", had to be written with Letterman in mind. His first significant partner, Merrill Markoe, suffered along with him, a yin to his yang, for many years. The reader gets a very concise understanding of how Late Night's writing staff (among them well-known oddball comedian Chris Elliot) and guests of infamy (Andy Kauffman, Bill Murray, Paul Reubens) shaped the show from beginning to end. What to like about this biographical portrait? Everything. What I really liked? No muck raking into his private life. There is intermittent information brought forth by the author, in regards to his relationships with his first wife, Markoe, and his second wife Regina Lasko, as well as the cheating scandal, and the birth of his pride and joy, son Harry, but it's done with aplomb and sensitivity, not some absurd "National Enquirer" tilt. And that is what separates this from some unauthorized tell-all. When Zinoman shares his admiration for Letterman and his disappointment at being tricked by one of Letterman's producers back in the day, you feel sorry for him, but not terribly surprised. If you're a long-time Letterman devotee, the story will not surprise you. This is the mindtrust that brought you "Stupid Pet Tricks", after all. If you count yourself among the fans, go pick up this book.

Poles shunt to top of car crash league
POLISH motorists have topped the league table of foreigners involved in UK road accidents for the third year in a row.
Poles were involved in 3,436 accidents on our roads last year, almost a fifth of crashes involving a foreign driver.
Germans came second with 2,286 accidents. The Dutch and French took third and fourth places.
Drivers from Lithuania made it into the top 10 for the first time after 716 crashes last year. In 2002, only one Lithuanian had an accident while driving here.
The league table, drawn up by the Motor Insurer's Bureau, includes crashes involving foreign cars, coaches and lorries.
Safety experts last night called for foreign drivers to receive better training and urged bosses of British firms to be vigilant if they rely on deliveries from abroad.
"There is an opportunity for British employers to ensure that the foreign drivers are using roadworthy vehicles and are well trained and competent to drive in Britain," said Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
"We hope that the introduction of European competence certificates for professional bus, coach and lorry drivers will cut accidents."
The latest figures from the Department for Transport show at least one person in Britain is killed every week in an accident involving a foreign vehicle.
In April, Polish driver Mariusz Adamski, 24, drove the wrong way along the M1 in Bedfordshire after doing a U-turn on the motorway. Mr Adamski, who had a wife Emilia and a young son, killed himself and a family of four in a head-on crash.
Foreigners living here are supposed to re-register their vehicles after six months and adapt them to drive on the left but many fail to follow the rules.
Insurers saw a 47 per cent increase in claims involving foreign vehicles on British roads in the five years to 2006, largely thanks to the influx of workers from former Eastern bloc nations.
Malcolm Tarling, of the Association of British Insurers, said: "At the end of 2007 we said the Government needed to find out how many foreign vehicles were not being re-registered because there is always the chance these vehicles are in a poor state of repair, might not be insured, or have not been modified for driving on the left. We are not aware that anything has been done."
The Department for Transport hopes safety will soon improve thanks to new powers allowing police and officials from the Vehicle Operator and Services Agency to issue on-the-spot fines to foreign drivers who commit traffic offences.
Anyone who refuses to pay, or whose vehicle is found to be dangerous, will have it immobilised.
This week the boss of a firm which trains Polish drivers admitted many struggle with the Highway Code.
"We get calls asking what signs like 'Queues Likely' mean which Poles see on motorways here but don't see back home," said Tymek Skroban-Korzenieck. "Others get confused by UK road markings like double yellow lines."
His firm Emano, based in Ruardean Hill, Glos, has produced a translation of the Highway Code,which Poles are snapping up at £20.
But he added: "It's unfair to label us as the worst foreign drivers in the UK. Poles are no worse than other nationalities.
"If we top the league for accidents, it's because there are now more than one million of us living in the UK."

Coherence Therapy: Modifying schemes through the therapeutic memory reconsolidation process.
Trainer: Sophie Côté and Pierre Cousineau
organizer: Norwegian Forum for Form Therapy in collaboration with the Norwegian Association for Cognitive Therapy.
Location: Guesthouse Lovisenberg, Lovisenberggaten 15a, Oslo
Date: 27.-28. September 2018
Course fee: 5 000, - (includes lunch both days)
Deadline: 15.09.18
Learning Objectives
1. Participants are able to understand how symptoms result from a coherent process - a view of self / others / world (schemas) with its attributed meanings and solutions to specific situations.
2. Participants can have a conceptual framework and methodology for producing lasting change beyond symptom relief.
3. Exercises: techniques used for discovery, integration, and transformation of emotional truths.
About the course
Psychotherapie is consequent dealing with emotional memories; et af dets mest grundlæggende spørgsmål er at være feasibility for modify them. For long, emotional memories have been reputed to be indelible (Ledoux, 1996). Therapists had to choose. Should we accept that this intense emotional response be exposed to an extinction process without the formal assurance that it will not reappear in a priming context (novelty, tiredness, stress)? Or, we should take this emotional response as a fact that we should learn to live with (acceptance, defusion ... while steering a steady course towards our values).
Og om det var muligt at radikalt modificere en intensiv følelsesmæssig reaktion, som altid har været forbundet med en bestemt kontekst (for eksempel, føler jaloux når vores partner er i en kontekst hvor han / hun kunne forråde os)?
A recent discovery from neurosciences, the memory reconsolidation process, offers promising responses to these issues while propelling psychological interventions to a new level of precision and efficiency. When triggered, emotional memory offers a time span during which synaptic connections could potentially be reopened. In reality, this apparent unshakeable solidity (emotional truth) is resting on the fact, that most of the time, the schedule has been reactivated in a context similar to the one in which it was learned. For eksempel kan en mistrust fremkalde den forventede holdning fra den andre, eller en situation der synes at være uforholdsmæssig til et skema er fortolket som værende kongruent (den terapeut synes at være for mig, men er kun gør sit job).
We weten nu dat het mogelijk is om emotionele geheugenreactivering te gebruiken als een mogelijkheid om het te wijzigen: een keer in focale aandacht, deze impliciete geheugen zal gevoelig zijn voor een voorspellingsfout, een ervaring incongruent aan wat was verwacht. Bovendien, in scherp contrast met een extinctieprocedure die veel risico's met zich meebrengt, met overblijvende risico's of relapses, is geheugenherzegging vast en definitief.
Approved by

Vedic Maths also known as the mathematics evolved in ancient India contains secrets and knowledge which now forms the very basis of mathematics all around the globe. The best part of Vedic Maths is that it stimulates the brain to encourage calculations of a high order without the use of calculator or any other instrument.
It is a pity that such high and simple form of mathematics is no longer teached in regular schools around India. Honestly, there is no database which can correlate how many schools in India teach with the aid of vedic maths. At least my school didn't.
It is high time that such form of simple mathematics must be introduced in schools at an early stage so that the mind of a kid can absorb the simple rules which will lead to a strong foundation in areas of mathematics which will lead a student to understand higher concepts with much simplicity and ease.
The beauty of India is that it has so much to offer to everyone around the world. Only one needs to do is be humble and respect its vast wealth of knowledge. This will lead to enrichment of a different kind.

Every time I think I might start moving my blog more towards health, fitness and mindset, which I love writing about, I get drastically dragged back in to our reality. To our autism reality to be precise. There's just to much going on in an autism household not to write about it, ha!
So here's what happened:
Harry peed on our carpet. Yep, you read that right; Our almost 10 year old peed. on. our. carpet. In our bathroom which already slightly smells of old pee might I add, from old toilet bowl misses by him and his older brother. But this was no miss, this was deliberate. (and yes, I clean and clean and it still smells)
As well as autism, Harry has speech and language delay which makes it very difficult to get him to explain why he does something. We've always struggled with this.
"Why did you wee on the floor, Harry?"
"I did a wee on the floor" is the answer
"Yes, Harry, We can see that, but why?"
"It was my potty"
Harry doesn't use the 'potty'. Harry has been using a toilet since he was 3.
I have no idea.
Harry is like a big toddler at times.
He's very clever at certain things and ticking along well academically at school, well behind his peers in mainstream, but still, he's progressing.
But he's speech and language delay makes it very difficult to know exactly how much he understands about the world around him. Our biggest worry is that he doesn't understand the difference between fiction and reality.
He saw Homer Simpson get his finger cut of; he laughed really hard and then went to the kitchen to get a knife to cut Joshua's finger off!
There's no consequential thinking: If I do This, then That will happen. If I cut Joshua's finger off then it will be funny, just like on the Simpsons and I will laugh. Not: If I cut Joshua's finger he will be in a lot of pain and we will have to go to hospital.
We are obviously trying to teach him consequences. But it is really hard to know how much he understands. And he will have a lot of trouble in his adult life if he doesn't understand consequences.
Harry still hits other children. When he's overwhelmed, confused, upset, angry. To be honest, we rarely know why he does it. It's not all that often anymore, but I still can't trust him around other children. I'm watching him like a hawk.
Harry is still 'on' everything. He needs to touch things. It's a sensory thing, I understand that, but its frustrating that I can not just 'let him be'. I need to know what he's doing otherwise he might be doing something less desirable, like breaking things or drawing on the wall. Not long ago when he was upset he wrote swear words on the wall outside his bedroom. Yep, I had to re-paint that wall. The reason he wrote them was because we'd told him not to say them. Clever! So he probably figured that that we hadn't told him not to write on the wall, just "don't draw on the wall". This way he got to express his naughty words without actually saying them. He's clever and can work things out, and we have to try to be two steps ahead all the time.
So sometimes he seems to understand perfectly well what he can and can not do and work a way around it. Other times he doesn't seem to understand right from wrong at all. He might do/not do what we ask, but that's because he doesn't want the consequences we give him, not that he necessarily understand the outcome of an action. Just like a toddler.
His speech and language delay makes it very frustrating for him as he can not express himself as well as he'd like or we'd like. Sometimes this frustration comes out in violence or swear words, because in the heat of the moment he can not find another way to express himself. I feel so bad for him. I wish I could help him. And obviously we are, the best we can, but he will never 'grow out of' this disability. He will probably never speak without hindrance.
Harry also doesn't understand the dangers around him. Without this logic that actions have consequences we have to try to explain to him in every scenario what might happen, and hope that he understands. Mostly I get the feeling that he doesn't.
"Harry if you run out in to the road, a car might hit you and that will hurt"
Nope, we still can't trust him.
He's run off more times than I can count.
He has escaped our house on a few occasions.
One time when I was alone with the boys, I had locked every door in the house and thought it was safe for me to take a shower. I came out of the shower and find that he's gone.
The clever escape artist managed to unlock the door from the kitchen to the garage, then unlock the door from the garage to our garden, make it over to the back gate, stand on an overturned plant pot, unbolt the gate and run off.
He's like a very clever toddler. But a toddler none the less.
Even though he's almost 10.
I love him to bits, but honestly, it can be exhausting!

text: The 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Trailer Has Leaked Brandon Caldwell April 17, 2015 Trailers, TV/Movies Thought you were going to wait until Monday to get the official Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice trailer because director Zach Snyder said so? Sorry kids, the Internet will forever say otherwise about any announcement. Thus, various leaks of the official trailer to next March's DC mashup starting hitting online, including this one — a Portuguese subtitled version where Jesse Eisenberg dropping ominous villainous bombs such as "We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior". Plus, there may be some Neil DeGrasse Tyson thrown in there but it's pretty obvious, everybody is fed up with Superman following his actions from Man Of Steel, even with the 'false God' message shoved in for good measure. From there we move into more tracking shots, brooding Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, some homages to The Riddler and then the ultimate tease, Batman in his armor looking at Superman swoop down from the sky and ask him, "Tell me, do you bleed? You will." Start dancing and throwing your money at the screen. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice arrives next March 25. Yes, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice out did Marvel's Avengers 2 for a teaser trailer. Expect plenty of arguments over who's the greater hero between Batman & Superman between now and then.

Our team has worked tirelessly to address these needs. First, a colleague and I presented Parent/Child Workshops. Each of the three workshops addressed a component of the Common Core. Their child served as a mentor as we modeled how we learn these skills in our classroom. The workshop gave parents a chance to see the standards in action and us an opportunity to support the learning at home.
At times, the language has been daunting for us to understand. We knew that this would be the case for our parents; especially, since grades are given on standards such as Number and Operations in Base Ten rather than skills.
What does that mean in kindergarten? To help, we broke the standard down into Parent Friendly language.
As we met with families at conferences, we presented them with a Parent Friendly version of the CCSS in addition to their assessment reports and progress report card. I highlighted skills within each section; green-at level, yellow-approaching, pink-below expectations. I also wrote comments in the Notes section.

Just last week we reported that the Little Green Frog Café is set to open in Sutton Coldfield and now a new eatery for pudding lovers.
The nationwide dessert chain sells Italian gelato ice cream, chocolate fondue platters, waffles, crepes, sundaes, milkshakes, VIP shakes and freakshakes, American pancakes, cookie dough, hot desserts, cakes as well as coffees, hot chocolates, smoothies and iced drinks.
Plans have been submitted on behalf of Pavillions Group Limited to change the use of the property from retail to sweet-toothed food and drink sales.
The planning statement submitted by agents Architecture and Interior Design states the applicant wants to provide customers with 'elegant style dining experience with modern and elegant fittings throughout'. It adds: "The site is in an ideal location for the proposed use as it sits close to the city [town] centre and popular tourist destination and surrounded by many other businesses, with a mix of bars, restaurant, retail and professional businesses."
The three-storey building would have the dessert parlour on the ground floor, offices on the first floor and living accommodation on the second floor.
The shop will have bi-folding doors at the front and large glazed windows on the first floor 'to improve its appearance'.
The proposed shop would be open from 11am to 11pm seven-days-a-week and would create six full-time jobs and three part-time posts.
The application is currently with Birmingham City Council's planning department for consideration.

Condé Nast has a new office in downtown Chicago. The move, first reported by Crain's Chicago Business, relocated 20 Pitchfork staffers and 17 members of the Condé Nast sales team to a consolidated 15,000 sq. ft. office in the Merchandise Mart.
Until last week, Pitchfork worked out of Logan Square, while Condé Nast's sales team worked out of the John Hancock Center.
Chicago has long been home to Pitchfork, which was acquired by Condé Nast in 2015, and now has a staff of 30 working out of 1 World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. Launched around 1996 out of a garage near Minneapolis, the online magazine was built up in the Windy City by founder/EIC Ryan Schreiber, before he opened an NYC office in 2007.
Still, Pitchfork's Midwestern roots shine through its annual summer music festival at Chicago's Union Park — this year's headliners include LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, and A Tribe Called Quest.
As the team moves offices, it also moves on from its short-lived print quarterly, The Pitchfork Review. First launched in November 2013, the long-form music magazine quietly folded this February.

[Sarah Churchwell] tells the story crisply and intelligently, judiciously deploying Fitzgerald's eminently quotable literary remains, and also Zelda's, which are often even better, in a sprightly, enjoyable and slightly strange book: part "biography" of the novel, part sketch of the roaring 1920s, part brief account of the second half of Fitzgerald's life. Churchwell is perceptive and well-informed (Guardian)
A perfect book to read alongside The Great Gatsby. Excellent (William Leith Evening Standard)
This book has as much spirit as gin fizz cocktails (Lady)
A treasury of new material. Churchwell adds considerably to our understanding of the early 1920s, and how life for Fitzgerald played into the development of his art . . . Engaging deeply with the facts on the ground, the richly chaotic matrix that was Fitzgerald's life, Sarah Churchwell's Careless People takes us back there (Jay Parini Literary Review)
A suggestive, almost musical evocation of the spirit of the time (Thomas Powers London Review of Books)
The wonder of Careless People . . . is that it rewinds the years and allows the reader to appreciate again just how well Fitzgerald reflected his times - Book of the Week (Nicholas Blincoe Sunday Telegraph)
Investigates subject after subject with subtle intelligence . . . you find yourself caught up in the excitement of her search - Book of the Week (John Carey Sunday Times)
A literary spree, bursting with recherché detail, high spirits and the desperate frisson of the jazz age (Robert McCrum Observer)
Since its publication in 1925, The Great Gatsby has become one of the world's best-loved books. Careless People tells the true story behind F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, exploring in newly rich detail its relation to the extravagant, scandalous, and chaotic world in which the author lived.
With wit and insight, Sarah Churchwell traces the genesis of a masterpiece, mapping where fiction comes from, and how it takes shape in the mind of a genius. Careless People tells the extraordinary tale of how F. Scott Fitzgerald created a classic and in the process discovered modern America.

Careers Silver Bullet?
In Sir John Holman's 2014, Gatsby report he said that there was no "silver bullet" that would of itself transform the quality of careers advice in schools.

tokenizer: allennlp.data.tokenizers.tokenizer.Tokenizer = None,

Reads a file from the Quora Paraphrase dataset. The train/validation/test split of the data comes from the paper Bilateral Multi-Perspective Matching for Natural Language Sentences by Zhiguo Wang et al., 2017. Each file of the data is a tsv file without header. The columns are is_duplicate, question1, question2, and id. All questions are pre-tokenized and tokens are space separated. We convert these keys into fields named "label", "premise" and "hypothesis", so that it is compatible t some existing natural language inference algorithms.
Registered as a
DatasetReader with name "quora_paraphrase".
- tokenizer :
Tokenizer, optional Tokenizer to use to split the premise and hypothesis into words or other kinds of tokens. Defaults to
- token_indexers :
Dict[str, TokenIndexer], optional
- __Indexers used to define input token representations. Defaults to
{"tokens"__: SingleIdTokenIndexer()}.
premise: str,
hypothesis: str,
label: str = None,
) -> allennlp.data.instance.Instance
Does whatever tokenization or processing is necessary to go from textual input to an
Instance. The primary intended use for this is with a
~allennlp.predictors.predictor.Predictor, which gets text input as a JSON
object and needs to process it to be input to a model.
The intent here is to share code between :func:
_read and what happens at
model serving time, or any other time you want to make a prediction from new data. We need
to process the data in the same way it was done at training time. Allowing the
DatasetReader to process new text lets us accomplish this, as we can just call
DatasetReader.text_to_instance when serving predictions.
The input type here is rather vaguely specified, unfortunately. The
Predictor will
have to make some assumptions about the kind of
DatasetReader that it's using, in order
to pass it the right information.

Because he is busy with Dragon Quest XI.
Dragon Quest X just got its third expansion pack announced at Jump Fiesta earlier today, but surprisingly enough, that announcement came with another one- that longtime series director Yuji Horii won't be directing it.
Now, before you start freaking out and start worrying about the future of the franchise, calm down. Horii confirmed that he won't be working on the new expansion pack precisely because of the future of the series- he is currently working on Dragon Quest XI, and that is taking up all his time.
That sounds good to me, especially since it's further proof that Dragon Quest XI is in fact actually a thing and in production. Of course, we still don't know what platform it's for- a while ago, the 3DS seemed like a lock, but right now, it's not so sure. It could be for anything from 3DS to PS3 and PS4 to even Wii U. Or maybe it will be for all of them.
Dragon Quest X, meanwhile, is available for the Wii, Wii U, PC, and Nintendo 3DS.

EVERYONE wants to see a Geiko when they go to the Gion district in Kyoto for the first time. Our tour guide was explaining that it'd be unlikely we'd see any because they work at night. But then, one stepped out from a teahouse.
We all turned.
She was dressed in her kimono with the full white face, red bow lips and set against the traditional wooden teahouse, it was a great picture. She gave us about a minute to take photos before she stepped back while she waited for a taxi.
I like this shot, because it's an unguarded moment where she thinks she's hidden. This turns it into a portrait of a shy young woman instead of a photo of geisha.

After you buy a house, you feel a sense of accomplishment. You did it, and you're part of the club of homeowners. However, there's still a lot to do. You have to get moved in, make repairs, meet the neighbors, and get settled in. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people that are willing to take advantage of this hectic time to try to scam you out of your hard-earned money while you aren't paying attention. You've bought a home, now watch out for the scams!
When you buy a home, that purchase gets a listing in the publicly available county records. Every company that sells products to homeowners sifts through these listings and starts to send out mail to these new homeowners. Some mailing list companies also use these listings to compile mailing lists for profit, selling you out to anyone who wants the information. There isn't really any defense to this, so you need to get smart about what is coming.
Look out for companies that have names that sound VAGUELY government-related or home sales related. If you aren't looking out for it, you can fall for these scammers easily and send them money for services that you can do yourself, or even scams that steal from you over and over. 3 types of scams to look out for are finance, insurance, and homestead scams.
Finance Scams
You may get a letter saying that your loan has been sold to another bank. This is a fairly common practice and could be totally legitimate. However, you can't just take the letter at face value. Always, ALWAYS call your bank or mortgage company before you send any money to another company than the one that you originally worked with. Use the number on your loan documents, as this letter may give you a number that will assure you that it is legitimate, which is like asking the fox whether or not you should let it into the henhouse.
Insurance Scams
This scam takes advantage of your newfound sense of responsibility. You may be feeling that you need life or health insurance exceeding what you have to cover your home in case of an emergency or tragedy, and you probably do. It's a great idea to have life insurance to cover the house if you die, or better health insurance so the bills don't cause you to lose your home. However, you'll get letter after letter offering you low-cost insurance that doesn't really cover anything or insurance that you'll pay twice as much for than if you just called an insurance company directly.
They'll often have information that is designed to make the letter look official, such as your mortgage amount or how much you still owe, but that information can be found through a records search and isn't an indicator of legitimacy. They will also put your bank or mortgage company's name on the letter, but that's another piece of information that they can find. Just find a legitimate insurance company and get a real insurance policy.
They will also try to get you with a home warranty. It's a warranty on your home, which sounds great until you find out how much isn't actually covered under it. Your garage door opener could be covered, but not the actual door. Your garbage disposal may be covered, but not the sink. Even when parts are covered, you still have to pay for a deductible when they service your home, and the repairs often use cheap parts. The warranty company most often will insist that the repair company do the work as cheaply as possible.
Homestead Scams
The Homestead Exemption is a tax break that many tax jurisdictions give on your property taxes for the house that you live in. It's a one-page form that you can fill out yourself, and many governments have the form available on their site. It is also free to file.
The Homestead Scam comes when companies try to charge you to fill out the form. You'll get a letter in the mail from an official-looking company stating that they need you to fill out a form and pay them a small fee, usually $25 or $35 to fill out your form for your Homestead Exemption. As we said, the form is free, so what are they doing? In the best case, they will take your money and send you the form to fill out yourself. In the worst case, they take your money, sell your personal information, and don't even send you the form. Make sure that you keep an eye out for these scams and just fill out the form yourself.

The West Virginia House of Delegates passed Friday a pay raise bill for teachers, school service personnel and State Police following a public hearing where many spoke in opposition of the bill. The bill passed on a 89-8 vote, and now heads to the state Senate. GOP Chairwoman Melody Potter spoke briefly Friday against the bill, claiming education unions are "great manipulators" and are the only ones who will benefit from the bill.

So many challenges that you face…
- Why can't you make larger tax-deductible corporate contributions without allocating so much to your other employees?
- Maybe your administrative costs are too high?
- Is focusing on current tax savings more beneficial than accumulating capital in another asset class that enjoys tax deferral and tax-free retirement income?
- How about a combination of tax qualified and non-tax qualified plans?
For almost four decades, we have designed both tax qualified and non-tax qualified discriminatory benefit plans. We have the intellectual capital and access to the country's leading actuaries, to assure that your plan design maximizes every dollar you allocate to your future. At Paradigm Strategic Consulting, we will review your plan(s) and provide solid recommendations to improve your plan(s) performance.
At minimum, after our review is complete, you will know that our second opinion reconfirms there are no options existing that could improve upon your current design. What do you have to lose?

ATC's Video Tutorial
Hi, it's Josefine. I was in an experimental mood and wanted to just play a little on a smaller scale. ATCs are perfect for exactly that. At the end, I liked my experiment so much that I gave the ATCs to my husband as his birthday present.
The ATCs didn't start out very well. But I continued and had my "oh yes, that's it" moment. Want to know when? Check out the video:
I love how these ATCs turned out! The colors play so well with each other and even the yucky first layers add something special to the entire project.
Shimmer, texture and color – what is better than that? ;)
Supplies used:

I've been trying to count my blessings more this year, as comparison is the thief of joy and I really have a lot for which to be grateful. Living on a tropical island is one of those things, as Jamaica is warm and blessed with an astonishing range of lovely landscapes– rolling green hills, deep
I have a long ever-growing mental list of places to visit in Jamaica, ever since I came to the realization in 2016 that I barely know my island at all. In 2017 I was perhaps a tad bit too ambitious, setting out to see 17 places in '17 and only accomplishing 8 of them. That

On my personal Instagram page this month, I asked my followers what would they like to know about me or my blog and that I'd answer during my five-day 2nd anniversary celebratory blog-a-thon.

I've received the question of which places are my favourites and had to recommend outings for friends quite a bit in the nearly two years of this blog's existence.

FXB is proud of the success of the Women Entrepreneurs of its programs: Ji Ke, rural China
Discover the success story of Ji Ke, a Woman Entrepreneur living in Bu Tuo county, Sichuan, rural China.
FXB works in China since 2006 towards lifting vulnerable families out of poverty and reducing gender discrimination.
When FXB arrived in Ji Ke's village in Bu Tuo county, rural China, she had lost her husband, inherited a huge debt and had seriously injured her leg while performing manual work in the field. She was the sole provider for her mother and two children, despite her crippling injury for which she had not received any medical treatment.
After being enrolled in the FXBVillage program, our staff responded immediately to her medical needs, organizing a surgery that saved her leg.
As she was rehabilitating, Ji Ke attended training sessions held by FXB on topics such as healthcare, hygiene and medical insurance and assistance. She also gained literacy skills and training on how to productively rear animals, which she put to test on the mother pig that she was given by FXB.
These holistic interventions helped Ji Ke turn her life around and by the end of the program, Ji Ke had fully recovered from her surgery and had successfully completed several rounds of piglet rearing.
She had generated enough income to pay off her families debts and to send her children to school. Ji Ke continues to grow the income for her family and now owns a small livestock farm (cows, pigs, ducks and chickens). In the past year, she even purchased a grinding machine and an electric tricycle.
She trusts in a better future, for her and her children.
Investing in the economic empowerment of women is the undeniable path to poverty eradication, gender equality and inclusive economic growth.

No job is too small
I provide translative work for your company, whatever the content might be. Contact me for an informal discussion about your needs, and let us find a solution.
Rule of thumb
Regardless of the size of the job, the rule of thumb is that the job is done and fully translated within a 5 day period. If the job is minor, there is a big possibility that I will be done beforehand – if this is the case, I will of course forward the work when done, not when the 5 day threshold has passed.
Minimum price
As stated, no job is too small to have translated. However, I do run my business with a minimum price of 395DKK. If you have multiple smaller jobs, I therefore recommend that you gather them all and send them through as one job.
Calculation of price
I believe in transparency and simplicity when doing business. I don't run my business with any sign up fees, any administrative costs or any hidden costs. What you see is what you get.
>395 words @ 1,00 DKK = 395 DKK
1.000 words @ 1,00 DKK = 1.000 DKK
1.642 words @ 1,00 DKK = 1.642 DKK
2.500 words @ 1,00 DKK = 2.500 DKK
