Slicing Sequestration: Can the GOP Abolish Cuts Without Political Consequence?
WASHINGTON – Congressional negotiators attempting to hammer out what has been an elusive budget agreement are taking a long look at tinkering with the spending cuts known as sequestration but face significant problems coming up with a replacement formula amendable to all sides.
Democrats assigned to the budget conference committee are dissatisfied with the sequestration cuts that have negatively impacted domestic programs like Head Start and want to ditch the process and raise revenues to compensate for the resulting increase in funding.
Many Republicans likewise are unhappy about sequestration for a different reason – the nation's military budget is slated to bear the brunt of upcoming cuts, leading Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to warn that scheduled funding reductions "will cause an unnecessary, strategically unsound and dangerous degradation in military readiness and capability." But rather than increase funding through a tax increase, GOP conferees are looking for additional savings in entitlement programs like Medicaid and Medicare.
"I'm hopeful that this committee can come to agreement on eliminating the damaging, senseless cuts of sequester by replacing them with changes to mandatory spending," said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), one of the negotiators, deflecting Democratic calls for tax increases.
Cole is one of the 29 lawmakers appointed to reconcile differences in the proposed budgets from the House and Senate. Creation of the panel was one of the key components in the agreement to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling after the Oct. 1 shutdown, which was caused by disputes over the Affordable Health Care Act, familiarly known as Obamacare, and spending levels.
The panel has until Dec. 13 to come up with a long-term taxing-and-spending framework.
The two sides entered talks last week far apart on how to proceed but it appears sequestration could provide an opening for discussion.
Sequestration was imposed as a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011, adopted as part of a deal between President Obama and Congress to settle another debt ceiling clash. Reductions in spending authority for the 2013 fiscal year came to about $85.4 billion. The cuts were evenly split – a bit more than $42.5 billion from defense and $42.5 billion from the domestic side. Some programs, including Social Security, Medicaid, federal pensions and veterans benefits, were exempted from the cuts.
Sequestration is scheduled to run through 2021. During that 10-year lifespan, it is expected to cut anticipated spending by about $1.2 trillion. The total per year, according to budget estimates, comes to about $109 billion.
Critics of the sequestration process maintain that any cuts should be targeted as opposed to across-the-board.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and the upper chamber's lead negotiator, said the question "is no longer whether sequestration should be replaced – but how."
Defense programs are facing sharp cuts as a result of sequestration beginning in January, Murray noted. Meanwhile, the process is "continuing to cost us jobs and slash investments in our children's schools, in cancer research and in our nation's law enforcement efforts."
"Sequestration is bad policy and Democrats and Republicans have said it's not sustainable," Murray said. "But it is going to continue to cost us jobs and cut vital services until we get a bipartisan deal to replace it that is fair for seniors and the middle class."
Arriving at a bipartisan deal "is going to require compromise from both sides—there's no way around it," Murray said. "I am going into this budget conference ready to agree to some tough spending cuts that, unlike the sequester caps that disappear in 2022, would be permanently locked into law."
"I know there are many Republicans who would be very interested in swapping some of the inefficient and damaging sequester cuts with structural changes to programs that would save many multiples of the cuts they replace over the coming decades."
Cole, who seemed the most amenable GOP panel member to reforming sequestration, said the object can be accomplished without raising taxes, although he expressed a willingness to consider changes in the tax code.
"There are a number of pro-growth policies that, if enacted, would generate significant revenues for the federal government and grow our economy," Cole said. "Policies like repatriation of corporate profits from overseas, expanded oil and gas exploration both offshore and on federal land, onetime federal asset sales and the like."
Increased revenue, he said, "doesn't and shouldn't mean higher taxes."
Several committee Republicans, including Rep. Paul Ryan, of Wisconsin, chairman of the House Budget Committee and the chamber's lead negotiator, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), acknowledge that sequestration has proved problematic and the panel could develop a better way to cut spending. Like Cole, they remain unwilling to raise taxes to address the issue.
Ryan acknowledged there exists "a better way to cut spending" and the best way to accomplish that is to reform the tax code.
"Today, our tax code is full of carve-outs and kickbacks," he said. "We need to get rid of them -- and those bipartisan talks are just the way to do it. So let's do all we can to encourage that effort. And let's focus our energy on the task at hand -- a budget that cuts spending in a smarter way."

The Berlin-based artist will make his Australian debut later this month.
Originally from Canada, Colin de la Plante made the move to Berlin back in 2007. For more than ten years now he's released records on a wide variety of labels, from the smooth disco sounds of Prins Thomas' Internasjonal and his own 7 Inches Of Love imprint, right through to the more serious house and techno of Ostgut Ton and New Kanada. Last month he launched a new label, Maybe Tomorrow, with Jon Berry of Kompakt which will serve as a home for much of his upcoming material. His first 12-inch, If I Had A Nickel, spans grooving deep house and some more ambient, leftfield cuts.
De la Plante will play two gigs for his first appearance in Australia, starting with a show at Lounge in Melbourne on September 27th alongside locals Louk Syrylo and Dave Pham. The next evening he plays the launch of Endless, a new night which will be hosted at White Revolver in Bondi. Garry Todd, Marc Jarvin and Ben Ashton are amongst those supporting.

"Which window do I trust?"
A few days ago, my kids and I were driving along a stretch of road that was bordered on one side by a cliff right up next to our lane, while the view from the opposite window overlooked a river. One of my daughters was attempting to stare out the cliff-edged window and asked if I was speeding. Finding it advantageous while driving to focus my attention on the traffic needs of the moment, I was unaware of where she was looking, but I assured her I wasn't speeding and asked her curiously why she asked. She told me she was watching the cliff zoom by at lightning speed and seemed sure that I must be. I recommended she look out the opposite window to see if it presented the same speeding feeling (knowing it wouldn't because things in the distance appear to move more slowly than those things up close). After a moment of thoughtful silence, she questioned..."which window do I trust?"
It always strikes me funny the kinds of opportunities God lops into our laps to share the importance of His trustworthy Word with our kids..."which window do I trust?" led right into a discussion among the whole carload of us about how our eyes will often deceive us and how we need something dependable to rely upon. In the car, assuming the instrument is functioning correctly, we rely on our speedometer. In life, we'll be pulled by this, that, and the other thing at different speeds and different directions. We NEED God's Word to direct us in every way. If we don't have time for Him, we can be sure we are going too fast and in the wrong direction. We make time for what we value. Have you ever heard anyone say "I don't need God, I can take care of myself?" Do you think this way in any area of your life? His Word tells us in truth that we cannot make our heart beat a single time...oh, we need Him alright...we are 100% dependent upon God. Let's freely admit it, humbly depend upon Him, and joyfully travel the road He has us on with His Word as the light that leads us along the way. Don't trust "windows", trust Jesus...He won't steer us wrong.
P.S. Only a few more days to enter my give-away drawing for Greg Lucas' hot-off-the-press book, Wrestling with an Angel: A Story of Love, Disability and the Lessons of Grace. For the easy-to-enter details, go here. We'll draw a name on Monday, the 8th.

That would be a major mistake.

Random Problem With Moving: I haven't changed my phone number right, so I get random phone calls from polling lists asking me about "local issues". Um, 'scuse me? What Local Initiative 124? I have no clue what you're talking about! What state are you calling from?
Sad to say, this wouldn't get fixed by getting a local number. I live in an unincorporated area (read: the boondocks) and the local numbers are all for the nearest city thirty miles away. One of these days I will live in a real city. Maybe. If I have to.
Random Bright Spot of the Day: IT'S FRIDAY!!!! I've been looking forward to Friday all week long. All week! Friday is wonderful! After school, the kids go play with friends for a few hours, we have a nice family dinner, and then the kids go to bed and I cuddle up with DH to watch a movie.
This week, Jude Law takes his shirt off. I'll let you guess the movie. ;o)
Anything has to be better than last week's depressing Pirates of the Caribbean. Seriously, they killed Orlando Bloom? There has to be a law against that!
Random Caribbean Fun: My old college roommate called me up yesterday to see if I wanted to go to the Bahamas with her in April. YAY!!!
For three weeks. Oh.
The reality of my life is that I am a full-time Mom. I can not take three week vacations. As much as I would love to go chill on white sand beaches with my best college bud, my kids need me. My husband needs me. And, honestly, I'd probably go crazy being away from my family for that long.
She's going to Hawaii for a long weekend in August. I must say, I'm seriously tempted to let her take me along. Four days is way different than three weeks. Surely the children could survive four days without me. Right? Right?
I'm not sure DH would agree.
I guess I better start writing like the love child of JKR, Stephen King, and Stephanie Meyer (kinky!) so I can afford to take a family of five for a three week vacation. Or, rob a bank. That might be easier...

Jenna Bush Hager welcomes second daughter — named after George H.W.
The Bush family just got a little bigger.
TODAY correspondent Jenna Bush Hager gave birth Thursday, Aug. 13, to a girl, Poppy Louise Hager, who weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. This is her second daughter with husband Henry Hager.
The new bundle of joy is named after Jenna's grandfather and former President George H.W. Bush, whose nickname growing up was "Poppy."
"We are proud to name her after a man we so adore," Henry told TODAY. Poppy's middle name, Louise, is in honor of Jenna and Henry's grandmothers' middle names, Louise and Lewis.
"We are thrilled," Henry said.
The new baby joins 2-year-old sister, Mila, who helped announce the news about her "baby sissy" in a home video Jenna shared on TODAY back in April.
Poppy also shares a birthday with another adored little girl, Savannah Guthrie's daughter Vale, who was born Aug. 13, 2014.
After Jenna finished her last segment before leaving for maternity leave, TODAY anchors showered her with baby gifts and surprised her with a phone call from a pair of former first ladies: Laura and Barbara Bush, her mom and grandmother.
"We're calling in just to give her lots of love, and tell her we can't wait to see that new baby," Laura said on the phone.
"I can't handle this!" an emotional Jenna kept repeating.
Jenna and Henry Hager, who got married in May 2008, welcomed their first child on April 13, 2013. Margaret Laura, or "Mila," was named after both of her grandmothers.
In a recent blog post Jenna wrote for TODAY's Parenting Team, she said her goal for the summer was to slow down and spend every moment possible with Mila.
"I want to enjoy every moment of our last summer as just the three of us," she wrote about hoping to overcome her tendency to over-plan her life.

Ms M. from Paddigton, October 2017
I found team easy to communicate with, which in my experience is rare when working with builders! They were very respectful of my home while they were working in it, and always left it clean. The work was completed to a high standard, within a reasonable time frame, and with the minimum of fuss. If I needed more work done, I would go back to without hesitation.

Hi Everyone,
So excited to start.. I just want to make sure my understanding is correct after the fast start and trimsition stage do you remain in the body trimming stage for the remainder of the program or do you repeat this process every 8 days?
Wish everyone well with their journey,
September 22, 2016 at 1:55 pm #24424

Hi, just done day 4 but keep having stomach pains like cramps and headaches? is this just the body craving something? hope it will pass as i'm determined to make this work!
March 21, 2017 at 8:41 am #39377
Hi Martin,
Are you making sure you are drinking your 2-3 Litres of water each day? Headaches and stomach discomfort (due to constipation) may be a result of not getting enough fluids which is important during all phases, but especially the first phase of the program.
Similarly, make sure that you are getting the recommended serves of non- starchy carbohydrate vegetables, these will provide you with fibre which can help with protein digestion and regularity, and therefore prevent stomach discomfort.
It's a good idea to mix up your sources of protein, making sure you get a mix of both animal and plant based protein. A high protein load could result in stomach discomfort, plant sourced protein generally has a lower protein content than animal protein so try and include some meat- free options.
Is this something you have been experiencing since starting the program or more recently? The FAST Shakes are dairy based so some people may find a bit of discomfort with having these if they are lactose intolerant, or even if they are just not used to consuming so much dairy products. With moving on to the next phases of the program we reduce the consumption of FAST Shakes so if it is the shakes that are causing this discomfort then these symptoms should subside.
If you are still experiencing this after a week please email us and we can try find a solution for you.
Kind Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂

I've been on the meal replacement shakes for 2 weeks and love them however just noticed that each serve is 19.6g of Sugar !! Isn't this extremely high as daily recommended intake is 25g and if you are having 2 shakes a day then the sugar intake seems excessive. Am I missing something ?
September 25, 2017 at 12:33 pm #49867
Day 8 for me. Weighed in this morning and have lost 2 kilos. Yay. I found the 3 day fast was quite easy, didn't get REALLY hungry until the 3rd night. Enjoying some of the recipes too, we had Chicken Cacciatore with steamed lo starch veg last night. Yum!Determined to lose weight I am.
September 27, 2017 at 8:03 am #49958
Hi Amanda,
As these shakes are designed to be Meal Replacements rather than simply protein shakes, they do need to contain a certain amount of energy (amount of Calories) so as to provide the body with sustenance. Some of this energy/Calories is provided by carbohydrates (and sugars), some by protein and some by fats. The majority of sugars in the FAST Shakes is naturally occurring lactose (milk sugar) which is coming from the milk ingredients used in these shakes rather than added sugars. 1 cup of liquid milk for example can contain up to 13g of naturally occurring lactose (sugar).
Kindest Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂

Hi, Just wondered if banana are ok to eat.
November 20, 2017 at 7:40 am #53437
BT Team MemberKeymaster
Hi Desley,
Check out our Food Guide pdf from the top left menu as it lists all the main fruit & vegetables and how/when can have these. Bananas are a starchy fruit so you are allowed these when in the Trimsition & Bodytrimming (phases 2 & 3) of the program. Please do limit these to 3 per week. The serving size is approx 1/2 a cup (or one small sized banana).
Cheers, BT Team

Hello Particia,
Welcome to Bodytrim! 🙂
I should be able to manually pause the email send outs and alter your membership for a delayed start, however it will mean turning it back on manually as well. When were you looking to start the program?
Let me know and I'll get it adjusted.

Hello Everyone, First day of my weight loss and hoping it will be as good as, the last time I was on BT. I fell off the wagon, last time and have put on more weight. I have a goal,as We are going away with a large group of motorcycle riders in September. We are traveling to Bathurst and staying there for a week. I need to lose weight, as I have a back injury and carrying extra weight isn't a good idea. So onwards and upwards I go. Looking forward to the my new lifestyle,this time around. Here I go.
Cheers LInda.

I have just started week 3 and have only lost 500grams. I am following the plan exactly, should I have been seeing more of a weight loss?
December 19, 2018 at 11:08 am #87904
Hi Dana,
The amount of weight lost initially will vary from person to person as it depends on several factors.
How was your diet previous to starting the program? Those who have substantially reduced their overall food intake since starting the program are likely to lose a more significant amount of weight. For the people that lose less, it is usually because they already had a relatively low overall food intake, so the difference in food intake was less dramatic making the initial weight loss less.
Are you constipated at all? When we alter our diet there may be changes in regularity which can take a while for the body to readjust. We hold onto this weight and it shows on the scales. Eating more fibre-rich foods and drinking more fluids can help the body to normalise again.
The Bodytrim way of eating can be quite a change for some people and it can take a few weeks for the body to get into balance and begin to shift the weight. If you are not used to eating small regular meals it can be your metabolism that needs a bit of time to adjust and kick into gear. It can also be your hormones which need to balance out as you change your eating, to allow you to start burning fat.
Another thing that may be worth pointing out which has caused some confusion is that the shakes are meal replacements and are only designed to be used in place of a meal (not to be used as snacks). They are also designed to be mixed in water only – adding other ingredients may significantly bump up the calorie content effecting weight loss.
There are many people who do find the first few weeks are slow but go on to lose weight successfully, the key is to stay consistent and check you are compliant. You may find it helpful and encouraging to keep a food and exercise diary, and weigh yourself only once a week.
A few things to keep in mind are:
Free Meal days – what you choose on these days can slow things down depending on how 'free' you go. We recommend 1 free meal per week once you reach the Bodytrimming phase. Try to keep an eye on your portion size for free meals, the first 2-3 bites are always the best so enjoy whatever it is you feel like or miss, but make sure the amount you have isn't more than you need.
Sauces, condiments and cooking oils are a way for extra calories to sneak in. Try to bake, boil, steam and grill foods to avoid using cooking oil where possible, and if cooking in a fry pan, aim for 1 tsp of oil only. For condiments, sauces and salad dressings aim for 1 tsp of high sugar sauces. Also keep this in mind for any marinades you may use. Herbs and spices are a great way to add flavour without the need to add to many extra condiments.
We hope this may help to shed some light.
Kind Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂

Pāmu Deer Milk has won the Novel Food or Beverage Award for its ground breaking deer milk product at the Massey University New Zealand Food Awards held last week at SkyCity.
"The Food Awards are all about rewarding innovation, which makes this acknowledgement very meaningful to us," says Pāmu Chief Executive, Steve Carden. "We spent over three years testing and trialling deer milk and have been incredibly pleased with the reception it has received amongst the restaurant industry. We knew it had broad appeal for desserts but have been really inspired by the range of savoury applications we've seen chefs across the country develop. Some chefs have even created deer-milk cocktails."
This year's New Zealand Food Awards considered sixty-seven products from over fifty companies and featured a panel of culinary judges including Bite magazine's Ray McVinnie, chef Geoff Scott, World Kitchen television host and chef Nici Wickes, and New Zealand's only certified cicerone (beer expert), Josh Scott.
Criteria for the Novel Food or Beverage Award focused on product innovation and meant that manufacturers had to demonstrate their achievements in this area. Pāmu deer milk epitomises this award – not only by creating new ways of farming and milking, but also by developing a product that has multiple applications and commercial appeal. Pāmu deer milk is a unique and luxurious ingredient that contributes a creamy texture to recipes of all kinds. It is exclusively available on the menus of some of the most renowned and acclaimed restaurants across the country, including Amisfield (Queenstown), Charley Noble (Wellington) and Cibo (Auckland).
"We're adding value to the existing New Zealand agriculture infrastructure by championing a new way of farming. Deer milk is a perfect example of this," continued Carden. "To make this product possible we had to develop brand new ways of farming, new milk systems and unique ways of processing the delicate deer milk."
"This is why we think the future of New Zealand agriculture is really exciting – new super premium products from a totally new farm system that require lots of what NZ farmers do best – innovation," Mr Carden concluded.

In this talk we will discuss different methods to implement a universal basic income outside of the usual political process. We believe that such a solution could work on its own as well as accelerate the progress toward a politically implemented basic income.
One solution space may be the use of recently developed blockchain technology. Blockchain technology allows social contracts like the basic income to be implemented on a large scale without the need for a central coordination force that nowadays only governments can provide. Money and currencies at their core are social contracts. The basic income is a social contract as well. A new currency could combine both contracts. For the first time in history, blockchain technologies enable every group to create such contracts that through their architecture and inherent scalability can seriously compete with existing currencies.
This talk gives a good overview why blockchain technology could be a game changer for the basic income movement.

Deer Feeder Remote Control allows users to remotely dispense corn when they want, as they want. The Deer Feeder Remote Control system works for miles!
Have multiple feeders? No problem. Because this system uses walkie-talkie technology, you can independently control multiple feeders using one transmit walkie-talkie.
Each Deer Feeder Remote Control has a receiver walkie-talkie inside, which is set to a unique channel. The user programs a second (transmitter) walkie-talkie to the same channel. When the user presses and holds the "talk" button on the transmitter walkie-talkie, the feeder is activated, and corn is dispensed. To activate a different feeder, simply change the transmitter to the different feeder's "channel" and press the talk button.
The Deer Feeder Remote Control system is designed for minimum battery drain and includes an additional solar panel. Both 6 volt and 12 volt systems are available; it works with all feeders. One (Motorola brand) receiver walkie-talkie is Levitra included in each system. While the receiver walkie-talkie must be a Motorola brand, any brand of walkie-talkie can be used for the transmit walkie-talkie.
Don't have a second walkie-talkie? No problem! We sell walkie-talkies and batteries in our online store.

Understand the Markets to Dominate Them
Knowing the markets inside and out allows you to approach it wisely and profitably. There are two key methods to analyzing the global financial markets: Technical and Fundamental Analysis. Technical analysis examines the price movements of assets, with technical analysts typically using historical data to predict the prices of assets in the near future. Fundamental analysis (which will be covered in the second half of this chapter) examines the underlying causes of price movements such as the political, social and economic forces which drive market demand and supply.
Technical Analysis
When it comes to technical analysis, what forms the basic premise is the belief that all market information available at all times is already reflected in the asset price and its movement. Therefore, by examining historical price movements, traders are able to make informed decisions when it comes to the financial markets. Charts form the bulk of a technical analyst's arsenal, and they are used to identify trending and ranging markets. Recurring patterns on the charts indicate future price movements accessible through the study of trend continuation and trend reversal patterns.
Types of Charts
A chart can be thought of as a visual representation of the interaction between buyers and sellers in a market. It is extremely useful as a means of understanding the total sum of what is going on in a market. A vast majority of traders today, especially those who actively trade, rely on their favorite charts to analyze the market. Charts are a reflection of all the activity which takes place for any given traded instrument, and as such shows how the market values that particular asset based on all the information available. There are three key types of charts: bar charts, line charts and candlestick charts, which are described here:

"Some books become part of you….. this is one of them! I will ponder this story for a long time. Excellent!"
~ Amazon Review by hardworkingdog – Brisk, fierce, lasting
Let me address the question posed in the title. I think I would risk everything to be true to myself. It would be like taking a stand for what you believe in and not backing down. When I started reading this book, I could feel my heart beating faster and I was saying to myself, "Oh no!" and "Holy Crap". Instead of me telling you what it is about I will share the book description and reviews below to give a great glimpse into this story.
Author Graham Wilson is an Amazon Bestselling Author, having written twelve books with three of them hitting bestseller status. He is also a very interesting man. I love what he says on his website about a writer's life. He finds that he writes best in a tent or on a sailboat. Most importantly he shares, "My strongest work comes when I'm happy so I try to live an active life that allows lots of opportunities for adventure and time in the outdoors."
Book Trailer:
Book Description:
Discover a story that reveals how to risk everything to be true to yourself. Trapped on a desolate arctic island, Liana is pushed to the edge and must face her elemental fears. It is a haunting tale of the biting physical toil survival often requires. Graham Wilson simultaneously strips down the American adventure novel while broadening its concerns to encompass themes of compassion and belonging. It is a universal tale told with a simplicity and directness rarely seen today. An Island Between Two Shores is an unforgettable story of hope and possibility. It will be available soon as an audiobook.
I have lived in the Yukon since 1986. I like to paddle, ski and climb and have explored much of the north. My writing is influenced by these adventures.
~ Graham Wilson
Review by Hella Prante – Gripping & Suspense Filled
"Suspense filled and hard to put down. Graham Wilson is a masterful writer and skillfully draws the reader into the extreme isolation and desolation that the heroine endures. He understands the North with all its intensity. Thanks for the great read."

Balance sheet advisory services for credit unions.
We have utilized Accolade for the last few years. Our experience has been quite positive. Any strategic issues have been addressed and their product has been very important to our
overall strategy.
I love Accolade!
They continue to focus our credit union on future financial scenarios.
Accolade is a great company to work with. Anytime I need further clarification on reports or ALM related questions, the staff is knowledgable and friendly to help. Their annual user conference is also filled with great sessions to help not only understand their reports but ALM in general.
We have been reviewing CECL now with Accolade's Loan Advisory for over 7 months. Accolade has made this process extremely easy as we have grown to understand more about our portfolio and plan for the CECL reserve needed. We have worked to update data to help with this analysis to better prepare thanks to the information Accolade has been able to provide about our loan portfolio.
Accolade has really freed up time for us. We now spend less time on creating reports and tweaking assumptions and more time on analyzing the data and developing strategies. Aaron and Michael are great to work with and provide valuable insight. All this for an unbeatable price. Highly recommended.

It looks like the government is charting a bold new course in the never-ending fight to protect our environment. The Environmental Protection Agency just announced that if squirrels can't hack it, they don't deserve our protection.
EPA acting director Andrew Wheeler made the dramatic announcement at a press conference at the EPA headquarters, where he informed journalists that if squirrels can't avoid extinction considering everything they've got going for them, then it's not his department's problem.
"There are millions and millions of squirrels in the United States, and they all spend their days in trees eating acorns, which is very plentiful food, so if they all start dying out, that's entirely their own fault," said Wheeler, adding that from that point forward, the EPA was washing its hands of the entire squirrel situation and would take no action to intervene if squirrels were in danger of extinction. "It's extremely easy to be a squirrel, and the EPA refuses to waste valuable time and resources helping them if they're too inept to survive on their own."
Wow. The EPA definitely isn't messing around with this bold new policy on squirrels. Let's hope they can take care of themselves because it sounds like they won't be getting any help from the government any time soon.

Karen is consistently working for my acid reflux. I'm no longer on any prescription medications. I'm still feeling the energy boost from it. It's been completely consistent throughout the last 7 or 8 months… Ever since I started it. I'm sleeping better at night too. It's unbelievable to me… It really is. I'm so impressed with it.

A meal at Arcane, a French-Caribbean restaurant, is affordable even in tight times.
Begin with one the unusual and tasty cocktails that includes a moulin rouge (orange vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice and raspberry puree, $9), t-punch (a Caribbean "caipirinha" with white rum, lime wedges and brown sugar, $7) or a key lime (orange vodka peach schnapps and fresh lime juice, $8).
Interesting appetizers include accras de morue (crispy codfish fritters, $5) and fried plantain with feroce d avocat (Bacalao — dried salt cod — guacomole, $8).
The large tender grilled tiger shrimp ($17) skewed with pineapple comes with haricot vert; the also tender grilled calamari with a salad ($9). Either is a good choice.

Citrix acquires Cedexis to broaden their application delivery controller play
It fits right in with NetScaler, but are Cedexis's commercial customers core to Citrix?
In a blog post today, Citrix is announcing the acquisition of Cedexis, a "real-time data-driven service for dynamically optimizing the flow of traffic across public clouds, data centers, CDNs, and ISPs."
We've always focused more on the workspaces side of Citrix rather than on the NetScaler and application delivery controller side, but considering the layoffs and changes last year and that this is Citrix's first acquisition since Unidesk, the desktop virtualization community will certainly be taking note.
Cedexis was founded in 2009, and has $36.7 million in funding to date, according to Crunchbase. Citrix was part of their Round B in 2016, and is now buying all of Cedexis. The acquisition is now complete; terms are not being disclosed.
Cedexis uses crowdsourced data about the performance of CDNs, cloud services, ISPs, and the like to help companies do "smart steering" of their traffic on the public internet. This article from The Register is a few years old, but explains the core technology better than I could. One of the primary examples that Citrix's Manoj Raisinghani told me about in a briefing last week was to route application traffic around trouble spots like slow CDNs, servers that are down, etc., to provide better performance and business continuity.
For NetScaler customers, Cedexis should slot right in and add more visibility and control for delivering applications to end users. But a big part of Cedexis's customer base are commercial customers like SaaS providers, CDNs, and ISVs that deliver video and other content to their respective end customers. These commercial customers aren't always what we think about when we think of Citrix's primary customers and products.
With all of Citrix's business lines over the last few years, the big question has been "is it core?" NetScaler is solidly core to Citrix products, and Cedexis fits right into it. With all the recent enterprise cloud progress, it seems like the right time for these types of tools.
We can sometimes be guilty of not fully appreciating Citrix's business in the application delivery space. But considering the track record of some of Citrix's acquisitions and attempts to find the next big thing beyond desktop virtualization, we can't help but be a little bit wary. We'll be watching this to see how it plays out.

While you might be thinking of Italy as a place of everlasting summer, the Country also has much to offer when it comes to incentive destinations for your winter break. Majestic mountain ranges with stunning landscapes, luxury skiing resorts, outstanding hospitality and – of course – mouth-watering winter winter recipes are just some of the reasons you might want to consider Italy for your next winter incentive gift. Here are our top 5 incentive destinations for your skiing holiday in Italy.
Start planning your incentive gift now!
Top 5 winter incentive destinations: plan your skiing holiday in Italy
Madonna di Campiglio
This internationally famous destination is conveniently located between the Dolomites and the Adamello glaciers. If you are looking for the perfect destination for your skiing holiday in Italy, you need to look no further. With almost 100 miles of approved ski slopes, special tracks for Nordic skiing and the largest snowpark in the Country, Madonna di Campiglio is a winter sports' heaven, catering to the need of both sports enthusiasts and their families. Those who do not fancy sliding down adventurous slopes all day will also have plenty of activities to choose from: local shopping, excursions to the nearby towns and valleys and, naturally, the vibrant local nightlife. If you visit in February, you will have the opportunity of taking part in the local Augsburg Carnival, an ancient tradition, dating back to the Austro-Hungarian domination of Trentino-Alto Adige.
Val di Fassa
Particularly popular among cross-country skiers, Val di Fassa is an excellent choice if you want to combine winter sports and outstanding food. Located in the north-eastern part of Trentino Alto Adige, this valley is surrounded by some of the most impressive peaks in the Dolomites range, such as the Marmolada and the Sella Group. The best known destination in the valley is the town of Canazei, but we recommend you take some time to visit Moena and Campitello and to stop by a local eatery to sample their delicious homemade cheese. In most cases you will be able to sample products directly from the local producers and literally meet the "source" of your tasty treats. Every year, Canazei hosts the Dolomites Skyrace, which is part of the Skyrunning world championship.
Cortina D'Ampezzo
Located in the province of Belluno, Cortina is an exclusive, high-end winter holiday destination, loved by Italian and international tourists alike. As well as skiing in one of the several local facilities, you should visit the local national park, which is surrounded by some of the highest and most impressive peaks in the Dolomites range and dotted with small, beautiful glaciers. The local ski slopes cater to professional athletes and amateurs alike: this is the perfect destination for your skiing holiday in Italy, if you are planning to travel with a diverse team, that includes expert skiers, enthusiastic newbies and even children that are approaching winter sports for the first time. Cortina D'Ampezzo is also a fashionable destination for luxury holidays: most hotels offer spa facilities and the local shopping district is as tempting as Milan's or Rome's. If you pick Cortina D'Ampezzo as your destination, make sure you sample the local cuisine: you will find echoes of Tyrolese and Central European traditions in its rich and tasty recipes.
Courmayeur is one of the most charming destinations for a skiing holiday in Italy. Also known as the "Pearl of the Alps", it is located at the foot of Mont Blanc and it offers over 60 miles of ski slopes, as well hosting a lively community of enthusiastic snowboarders and cross-country skiers. If you want to take a break from skiing, you should spend at least one day downtown. Despite being one of the most popular winter holiday destinations in Italy, Courmayeur has managed to keep the quaint air and authentic vibe of the northern-Italian mountain village, with wooden houses and craftsmen shops selling local products made with ancient, traditional techniques. The local production of cheese, baked goods and meat products is enough to satisfy any gourmand.
La Thuile
This is one of the most charming locations you could pick for your skiing holiday in Italy. Located in Val d'Aosta, this village is a quiet and serene spot for a summer stay, but literally bursts with life as soon as the first snows start to settle. Some of the best skiing resorts in Italy are to be found here and they are connected with their equivalents just beyond the French border, which means you will be able to enjoy hundreds of miles of ski-slopes, shuttling back and forth between France and Italy on state-of-the-art cable cars. This destination is a particular favourite of expert skiers, because it offers one of the most challenging slopes in Italy, known simply as "number 3" or by the name of the famous athlete it is dedicated to: Franco Berthod. It's worth noting that this particular piste presents a serious sporting challenge and it is absolutely not suited to amateurs.

Some years ago I designed this boat, named
RUFUS, for a guy who lived along the Intercostal waterway in Florida.
I had alot of fun thinking it up, and I mean to own one myself
some day. I've thought of building it way up the Columbia river,
and floating down to Astoria. Or maybe building it at the headwaters
of the Mississippi, and floating down to New Orleans. Of course,
it would be a fine craft for quiet fjords around here.
The idea was a cheap and simple to build floating camp. It would have a small inboard, or a "power" outboard like a Honda or British Seagul, and a big sail to loaf along down wind. Since she was designed smaller outboard technology has exploded and today, I'd look real close at a single 15 to 25 "Hi-thrust" four stroke outboard. Of course a small inboard is nice too but the outboard is much less hassle to install, and gives far better control under power.
The hull is just a plywood box, covered with 'glas cloth and epoxy, and wouldn't be any trouble to build. And since she is just a box, it's easy to change dimensions and make her narrower if you want to trailer her (you can usually sneak by with 9' beam) or shorter. Or longer!
The house is set well back from the hull to give lots of deck space. Since I designed it, I've thought I might extend the house clear out to the side decks and back to the stern, leaving the foredeck as the helm. One guy said he was going to build it that way, and attach a diving board to the back of the house roof, which sounded pretty good to me. This bigger house would open up the interior considerably, and give room for permanent bunks rather than the fold down system shown here.
However, as drawn the deck space is nice, and gives holds on each end for crab pots, fishing gear, and so on. And the interior is perfectly comfortable for day use. I have an old cabin where I have to fold down the couch at night to make a double bed, and it's no great hassle. But looking at this, you can see that if the house was extended you'd get a hell of a lot better interior options. Of course the looks would be hurt too; I like the way she looks now.....

#MeToo: MJ Akbar's ex-colleague says his reputation has been destroyed by Priya Ramani's allegations
Joyeeta Basu told the court on Monday that Ramani posted all her tweets 'intentionally with a purpose to harm' Akbar's 'reputation and goodwill'.
A former colleague of ex-Union Minister of State for External Affairs MJ Akbar told a Delhi court on Monday that his reputation had been "destroyed" and "damaged irreparably" by journalist Priya Ramani's allegations of sexual misconduct against him, PTI reported.
Joyeeta Basu, the editor of the Sunday Guardian, told the court on Monday that Ramani posted her tweets "intentionally with a purpose to harm" Akbar's "reputation and goodwill". "I have seen tweets by Priya Ramani dated October 10, 2018 and October 13, 2018," Basu told the court. "I was overcome by doubts but I know from the number of questions raised by people, I know personally that his reputation has been destroyed and damaged irreparably."
In a Vogue India article published last year, Ramani described how an acclaimed newspaper editor called her for a job interview to his "plush south Mumbai hotel" when she was 23 and he was 43. The editor – who she claimed on October 8 was Akbar – did not meet Ramani in the hotel lobby and insisted that she meet him in his room. There, he offered her a drink. Though she refused, he drank vodka himself. She alleged that he went on to sing old Hindi songs to her and at one point, asked her to sit close to him.
Akbar filed a case against Ramani last month after she said that he was the acclaimed editor she mentioned in the Vogue India article. Though nearly 20 women have so far accused him of sexual misconduct, the former minister has called all the allegations "wild", "baseless" and a "sea of innuendo, speculation and abusive diatribe". Akbar also hinted that there was a political motivation for the sexual harassment allegations as they have come up months ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Basu claimed that she did not hear anything "untoward" about Akbar despite working with him for 20 years. He was a "public figure who was held in high esteem", she contended. "Akbar has been perfectly professional in his dealings with me," Basu said. "He has always been a tough taskmaster, a thorough professional and a brilliant teacher."
The complaint had listed six witnesses – Joyeeta Basu, Veenu Sandal, Syed Habibur Rehman, Tapan Chaki, Sunil Gujral and Manzar Ali, The Indian Express reported. The court posted the matter for further hearing on December 7.

Book DescriptionToday, there are deep and rapid changes on companies, employees, and the global economy that should not be underestimated, and future world leaders must be prepared to lead in a manner that is socially responsible, ethical, and pro_ table. A corporation with a business model that polarizes or operates solely in the interest of its shareholders is unsustainable and current benchmarks can be unrealistic tools for businesses to rely upon as measures of future success.

As we are living business history, the book draws from the epic economic, environmental, and cultural shifts in our collective consciousness. It begins a vital conversation by introducing some thought paradigms that will challenge current business practices, create a vision for the future, and provide a road map to navigate this uncharted territory. In the end, the author outlines specific action that you must take now to end the economic and moral decline in this first part of the 21st century.

Your hosts
Marie McNamara
Retreat organiser and facilitator
My life's motto is "Live the life you love… Love the life you live". It's a joy to share this lust for life in the retreats I run. I believe it is possible to live an empowered life in flow with your heart and soul. Retreating from everyday life really gives you an opportunity to connect to this, to gain clarity on your hearts longings and to foster a sense of wellbeing.
I've run 11 retreats in Bali, Mexico and Australia in the past 5 years. I am continually humbled to be able to witness people's personal transformation during these retreats.
My ultimate goal is to help people see the unique light within them and shine that light brightly in the world.

The Coming Revolution
Special Free Shipping
The Revolution is underway! It has become increasingly clear that countless scientific discoveries of our time have been known to the Jewish people for millennia - from the time of the Bible itself!
Many of our leading scientists are astonished to find that the Torah - the body of Jewish wisdom including the Bible, Prophets, and later Writings - describes secrets of nature with remarkable precision, which modern science and its technological advances have only recently discovered.

Gone are the days of 'portable' projectors amounting to multi-kilogram monsters that needed a heavyweight bag just to be carried from the car to the boardroom. These days, mobile executives are far more likely to opt for a super svelte model like the beautiful and exquisitely sized 1.45kg 1280x800 Asus P2B. The P2B is sublimely easy to carry, it slips comfortably from one hand to the other, and you can even unplug the power supply and rely on its batteries instead. These ran for only a smidge under Asus's stated hour and a half, although you can extract further juice by slightly decreasing the brightness rating.
A Micro SD drive (along with 2GB of internal memory) allows you to save presentations, pictures and other files to a suitable memory card, so you don't even need to take a laptop or other gadget with you. The Asus connects easily to mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets. And if your device has MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) compatibility, the projector will be able to recharge it even while it's being used to display images.
HDMI is the main interface for connecting Blu-ray and other players. You can also use the mini-VGA port to hook up the projector to a D-Sub. Apart from these options, though, there aren't any other ways of connecting the Asus. So no DVI, and not even any RCA/phono. Admittedly, HDMI is very common these days, so this is unlikely to cause many problems, but it's worth bearing in mind. Besides these, you also get USB and a headphone socket.
The P2B is absurdly easy to use. It powers on almost instantly, and does a very good job of correcting the image automatically. We didn't have to fiddle around with the keystone settings to get a straight picture, and mobile executives will find this a real asset. It can also be powered off almost immediately, and requires next to no cooling down period. It's also very quiet, and in ecomode can be turned down to a virtually inaudible 24db - even its standard noise levels of 32db are very hard to pick up unless the room is almost silent. The P2B's picture is astonishingly large, and the short throw lens creates a 42in image while just one metre away. Given three times that distance, it can project an image approaching 120 inches. In a cramped boardroom, you'll have few problems creating a images that flood the senses.
The brightness rating, though, only stretches to 350 ansi lumens. While this is fairly standard for ultra-portable models in this price point, it's still a little disappointing. If you'll be projecting in rooms with a lot of light, you can expect the image to be pale and lacking in colour. Even a bit of light can mar the image. In a room with blinds, getting a decent picture shouldn't be too much of an issue, but you can't always guarantee that if you're visiting other people's offices. If ultra-portable projectors do suffer from a significant drawback, it must be the lack of brightness. Even the considerably more expensive Dell M900HD's rating of 900 ansi lumens suffered from a few issues, despite being almost three times as bright. If you'll be moving this from one location to another, you need to think about whether you'll be able to guarantee good conditions - and if not, will you mind if presentations are a little pale.
Assuming you have a relatively dark room, the 1280x800 images are smooth and fairly clear. The palette is slightly overcast, and the generous 3500:1 contrast ratio (created by the ever-impressive DLP technology) helps deliver decent colour depth for the price and size. For PC work, presentations, and images, with a little video added, the Asus is more than adequate. Sound isn't bad, if a little lacking in power and bass. It is comfortable to listen to for short bursts, though.
This pretty little projector has amazing portability. The short throw lens and easy setup are excellent, and sound levels are low. As ultra-portables go, this is a very good choice. If you think you'll be frequently using it in rooms containing plenty of light, however, you'll need to look to a model with a higher brightness rating.
