Asian Shares Mixed As US-China Talks End With No Breakthrough
Asian stocks were trading mixed on Friday after U.S. and Chinese officials ended two days of meetings without reaching a breakthrough in a trade dispute.
The oil markets held steady while the dollar was buoyant ahead of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's big Jackson Hole speech that could bring a dovish surprise.
The Fed has penciled in two more interest rate hikes this year despite risks from trade conflicts and emerging market turmoil.
Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his criticism of the Fed's monetary policy, saying he was "not thrilled" with the Fed for raising rates. It remains to be seen whether Powell would respond to Trump's criticism.
China's Shanghai Composite index was down 0.1 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was declining half a percent after U.S.-China trade talks yielded no progress.
Japan's Nikkei index was moving up 0.4 percent, with underlying sentiment helped by a cheaper yen after fresh exchanges of tariffs between the U.S. and China.
Electronics makers like Sony and Panasonic were on the rise while steelmakers such as Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metal and JFE were down over 2 percent.
Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was marginally lower, dragged down by industrials after shares of Caterpillar Inc and Boeing Co fell sharply overnight on concerns over the deepening rift between Washington and Beijing.
The country could have a new Prime Minister today after several senior ministers resigned their posts.
South Korea's Kospi average was losing 0.2 percent while New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX-50 index was rising 0.1 percent.
Overnight, U.S. stocks finished modestly lower as the U.S.-China war escalated with a fresh round of tariffs on each other and investors assessed the likely political fallout from the legal woes of two former advisers to President Trump.
The Dow slid 0.3 percent, the S&P 500 eased 0.2 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 0.1 percent.
European markets fell slightly on Thursday as new details covering a "no deal" Brexit and trade war worries overshadowed positive economic data from the euro zone.
The pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 index eased 0.2 percent. The German DAX and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 both slid around 0.2 percent while France's CAC 40 ended flat with a negative bias.

I often get calls from clients who were only charged after several weeks of "investigation" by the police. In many instances, during a phone call or a brief meeting in furtherance of this investigation, the clients made a seemingly innocent statements that ultimately landed them in the hot seat. Whether or not they intended their words to be significant, law enforcement viewed them as "admissions." And once an admission is asserted, it becomes very difficult to defend the case in court.
If you have been contacted by the police due to a potential criminal charge, do yourself a favor – call an attorney. You may think that by "lawyering up," the police may view that as a sign of guilt. And perhaps that is so. But the demand for an attorney is a constitutionally protected right that cannot be used against you in court.
Maybe it's uncomfortable or perhaps you're worried about spending money. But, in the long run, contacting an attorney may save you both emotionally and financially in the end.
For more questions, feel free to call me.

There will always be someone better looking… someone with more talent or a bigger budget… someone with better connections, a bigger salary, or someone with a bigger church… There will always be someone with a bigger office or a more successful ministry, and the reality is that we have a natural reaction to this reality. Our instinctive reaction is to compare ourselves to these people. We do!
In this article, I want to attempt to give you three reasons why we shouldn't compare ourselves to other people (or compare our ministry to other ministries) and then give you practical ways to end the comparison game in your own life.
Why we shouldn't compare:
Did you ever stop and think where these comparative thoughts are originating from? Do you really think God is implanting these negative thoughts into your brain? No, this is just another manipulative tool that Satan uses to distract men and women of God. He will do whatever he can to prevent productivity for the Kingdom of God. He'll attempt to distract you, manipulate you and even cause a sense of discontentment in order to remove you from being maximized in your calling.
When you are comparing yourself to someone else or even another ministry, you first of all have to admit a few things to yourself: 1) You only see the shell, you don't see the core. Just because something looks ripe on the outside doesn't mean the inside is ripe. 2) Just because the grass looks greener from a distance, doesn't mean the field isn't filled with weeds. Weeds are naturally greener than grass and sometimes, our eyes stop after seeing the color without investigating why the field appears to be so green. Don't let your eyes trick you and lead you into self-pity; God has you where you're at for a reason. Take your time, investigate and make sure the field isn't filled with weeds.
We can strive to become someone else, but that doesn't change who God made us to be. You can impersonate someone to a "T" but when you do so, you're robbing yourself of becoming the individual God created you to become. Now, this doesn't always have to be a negative. I acknowledge people, ministries, churches, and even other Dad's and husbands that do things way better than I do. I watch them closely and even choose to emulate different things they do. That can be a positive thing and ultimately make a positive difference. But when we see the 'comparison game' leading us to negative thoughts & negative actions, that should be a red flag in our life that should serve as an indicator telling us that something is wrong.
Be you. Life is a journey filled with opportunities to become greater, and it's okay to glean wisdom from others, but don't allow the comparison game to drag you down into a pit of negativity and self-pity.
When you constantly focus on how great everyone else has it, it typically leads to you focusing on how bad you have it. The comparison game usually leads to jealousy, greed, envy and spite. None of these things will prepare you as a leader to become maximized where you are, rather, they'll lead your heart to negative places that will in turn prepare you for a quick exit.
So, how can I prevent myself from playing the comparison game?
- RECOGNIZE THE SUCCESS AROUND YOU- It's alright to recognize the success around you. It's okay to glean from that their wisdom. If you do so (in a healthy manner) you will grow and become a more well-rounded leader.
- RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN LIMITATIONS– You can only do so much. Don't try to play God and position yourself to do something or become someone who He hasn't made you to be.
- MAKE PROGRESS TOWARD YOUR OWN GOALS– Don't be so busy trying to become someone else that you forget about your own goals.
- CELEBRATE WHO GOD MADE YOU TO BE– It should be a celebration when you consider the fact that God created you with a purpose in mind. We may not be able to see the future, but He does, and I believe our God is capable to doing great things in and through each and every one of us if we'll just trust Him for the outcome of our lives.
- Read Galatians 6:4-5

The partisan lines were quickly drawn in the House last week on the perennial issue of union business being conducted during regular hours at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Rep. Phil Roe, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, spoke of the "frustration that I have" on hearing reports that a doctor making $212,000 at a VA facility in Los Angeles and an emergency room doctor making $242,000 at a VA facility in Chicago were spending 100 percent of their time on union business.
"We certainly understand that there can be a union," said the Tennessee Republican, but "how in the world do you explain that to people?"
Roe said that the VA's budget has risen from $97 billion to $180 billion since 2009, and its workforce has grown from 260,000 to 370,000 during the same period. The VA's problems are "not for lack of personnel, not for lack of money," he said.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, countered that union employees at the VA doing business during regular hours, referred to as "official time," are vital to the mission of improving care. He cited "the ability of unions to protect the whistleblowers who help prevent waste, fraud and abuse. Sometimes, I think some of my colleagues forget that whistleblowers are federal employees."
The back and forth came at a joint hearing of two House Veterans Affairs Subcommittees on a Government Accountability Office report released last week, stating that the current VA systems cannot accurately track the amount of time employees spend on union activities.
According to the GAO report, the VA uses two timekeeping systems -- a legacy system, called the Enhanced Time and Attendance System (ETA), which remains in effect at some facilities during a changeover to the VA Time and Attendance System (VATAS).
The former does not have codes for employees and supervisors to record the local use of official time for union work but the latter does, the GAO said.
"As of September 2016, approximately 50 percent of VA facilities and about one-third of VA employees (120,000) had transitioned to VATAS, with its official time-recording capabilities. The full VATAS multi-facility rollout is scheduled to be completed by July 2018," the GAO said.
In his prepared statement for the hearing, J. David Cox, National President of the American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, said the GAO report "found time and again that elected employee representatives who worked with VA managers on workplace and patient issues brought value because of the deep commitment to veterans care that AFGE shares with [the Department of Veterans Affairs.]"
"It must be emphasized that nowhere in the GAO report is there any suggestion or allegation of union wrongdoing with regard to the use of official time in DVA. GAO found no union failure to report information and no instance where information reported was inaccurate. Rather, the GAO found simply that DVA failed to collect the data properly," Cox said.
However, Republicans at the hearing cited a finding in the GAO report that 346 VA employees in 2015 were authorized to spend 100 percent of their work time on union activities.
Some of those employees were nurses or other health care providers, the Republicans said.
"I don't believe the average American would see this as reasonable or as necessary," said Rep. Jodey Arrington, a Texas Republican and chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic opportunity. "I believe the average American would be outraged."
Other Republicans cited a 2012 Office of Personnel Management report, which found that 250,000 VA employees spent about 1.1 million hours on union activities.
"Official time certainly is of benefit, but when it's used in excess, it becomes abusive," said Rep. Mark Meadows, a North Carolina Republican and chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations.
Rep. Mark Takano, a California Democrat, agreed that "We need to do a better job of accounting for official time," but noted the relative silence of his Republican colleagues on President Donald Trump's federal hiring freeze that has left the VA with 45,000 vacancies, according to Dr. David Shulkin, the new VA secretary.
Shulkin has said he would approve 37,000 exemptions to the hiring freeze for public safety or health reasons, but that would still leave the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) with 763 positions which would not be exempted, Takano said.
The VBA has a backlog of about 100,000 disability claims cases and another backlog of more than 400,000 disability claims cases on appeal, Takano said. Lifting the hiring freeze at the VBA would "help our veterans get benefits faster. Our veterans are being hurt because those jobs aren't being filled."

Understanding Creative Suite 6
Posted on June 7, 2012
Category: General
Recently, Adobe dropped a rather unexpected graphic design related bomb-shell on us: Adobe completely redid the entire Creative suite, bringing new materials to the software tools that we use nearly constantly to make a living. So, with that in mind, if you've been wondering what exactly is different about Creative Suite 6 then you've come to the right place. Below you'll find a brief rundown of what's new in the Suite, as well as a new pointer on how to obtain CS6.
- Photoshop Has Real Vectors: First out of the box, one of the best things about Creative Suite 6 is the fact that Photoshop now has real bloody vectors. Yes, you can finally edit specific points on your shapes, add a stroke of a different color, change the fill hue, and otherwise modify your creations in a way that's similar to Illustrator. In our eyes, it's about time this change happened, as we've been pining for it for years!
- Broken Lines Are Simpler: Another knock for Photoshop is the fact that it's now painfully easy to create dotted lines within the software. If you've ever tried to do this before hand, you know just how marvelously complicated the whole process was before Creative Suite 6. Now, it's as simple as applying a stroke effect, just like in Illustrator. And again, we say, thank God!
- The Cloud is Here: In a move that we find particularly revealing, Adobe has also released a new method of obtaining Creative Suite 6. Instead of buying it in the box like we used to do, you can now pay $50 a month for the Creative Cloud, which serves as both a cloud-based hard drive and a way to download the individual Creative Suite 6 softwares themselves. It's like a monthly membership that gives you full access to every software suite, as well as your own personal Adobe cloud, on which you can hang just about anything you like. It's a smooth feature set, and if you're not prepared yet to dish out several thousand for Creative Suite 6, $50 a month is not much to ask.

Given that iTunes is the most widely used iOS data management program it's only safe to assume that it will work flawlessly. However, this isn't the case and many users are inconvenienced by the problems that iTunes causes them - in this case, we're talking about why won't iPad sync to iTunes. This bothersome iTunes issue prevents iOS users from syncing their iPad and today, we're going to focus on how you can fix it.
How to Fix iPad Won't Sync with iTunes
While this is a frustrating issue to deal with, especially if you've got a busy day that you want to get on with, there are a few things that you can try to quickly fix it.
- Tip 1: Update iTunes
- Tip 2: Check Your Sync Settings
- Tip 3: Reinstall iTunes
- Tip 4: Use iCloud Instead
- Best Way: Try an iTunes Alternative
Tip #1 - Update iTunes
The first thing you should try is updating your iTunes to determine where the problem is stemming from. If iTunes has a problem or a bug which has been fixed in a recent update then by updating iTunes, the chances are that the issue will be fixed and you'll be able to sync your iPad afterwards.
When you first open iTunes, if an update is available then a notification should prompt you to update.
If you don't see this notification, then click on the "Help" tab followed by "Check for Updates". If an update is available, simply download and install it, and your iTunes will be reinstalled with the newer version.
If updating iTunes doesn't work, the problem lies elsewhere (possibly your settings).
Tip #2 - Check Your Sync Settings
The issue might simply be that you haven't chosen to sync the types of data that you want iTunes to sync with your iPad. When you connect your iPad and iTunes is launched, click on the device icon at the top of the program and the summary page will be shown.
Using the left panel, click on one of the data types that you want to have synced (e.g. Music, Movies, Podcats, etc). If the box next to, for example, "Sync Music" hasn't been checked then go ahead and check it now.
From then on, whenever you sync your iPad with iTunes, that data type will be synced.
Tip #3 - Reinstall iTunes
Following on from the first tip that we gave you if an update isn't available then it's a good idea to uninstall and reinstall iTunes on your computer. Doing this will not only install clean versions of the iTunes program files but it will also reset all of your preferences (which is preferred as if there is a problem with the settings file, the problem will be fixed).
To uninstall iTunes on a Windows computer, go to the Control Panel and click on "Uninstall a program". Locate iTunes, click on it, and click the "Uninstall" button at the top of the menu - after a few minutes iTunes will have successfully uninstalled, and you can re-download it from the iTunes download website.
Tip #4 - Use iCloud Instead
Obviously, this won't fix the problem, but by choosing to sync your iPad with iCloud then you don't have to worry about your iPad not syncing to iTunes and you can have better management over your iPad's data.
To take an iCloud backup from your iPad, open the "Settings" app and go to "Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Backup", and tap on "Back Up Now".
After a few minutes, your iPad's data will be backed up but if you have the "iCloud Backup" slider enabled on this menu then your data will automatically be synced with your iCloud account regularly.
Tip #5 - Try an iTunes Alternative
In the event that none of our tips helped yield the results that you expected and you're still wondering why won't my iPad sync to iTunes, try using an iTunes alternative like iMyFone TunesMate. This program is just as effective as iTunes and below are some of the features that it includes.
- Sync virtually all iTunes data including music, ringtones, playlists, videos, movies, podcasts, and much more.
- Transfer data freely between your iPad (or any other iOS device) and your iTunes library.
- Sync your iPad without having any of your data overwritten by iTunes.
- Transfer media files directly without opening iTunes.
- Share both non-purchased and purchased media with multiple iOS devices, without iTunes limiting you.
- Highly spoken by many professional software review webistes, such as Getintopc, Geekreply, tricksworldzz.com, etc.
In hindsight, iMyFone TunesMate is a version of iTunes without any of the unnecessary limits and if you want to sync your iPad with this program, follow our guide below.
Step #1 - Download, install, and launch iMyFone TunesMate on your computer.
Step #2 - After connecting your iPad and launching the program, click on the "Transfer iTunes Media to iDevice" feature from the main menu that is now shown on your screen.
Step #3 - Using the box that appears on your screen now, select the types of data that you want to transfer from your iPad to your iTunes library. Alternatively, you can check the "Entire Library" to have everything synced.
Step #4 - Click on the "Transfer" button to proceed and after a few minutes, you'll find that the sync process was successful.
Now, if you take into account the struggles that you had with iTunes and trying to figure out why won't my iPad sync to iTunes, it's a lot easier if you just use iMyFone TunesMate.
To Conclude
No longer will you have to struggle with iTunes causing you sync issues. If you've tried each of our tips but you are still unable to sync your iPad, take a look at iMyFone TunesMate - we highly recommend using this program over iTunes!

The Helvidius Group and the Journal of Politics & Society
The Helvidius Group is a student organization at Columbia University, established in 1989 by Peter Tomassi, CC '91, to provide a forum for undergraduate discourse on issues concerning law and public policy. The Journal of Politics & Society is the realization of that mission. Originally an annual magazine distributed to Ivy League universities and to members of Congress, it has adopted a more scholarly focus and has grown to encompass all of the social sciences. The Journal is not affiliated with or sponsored by any political organization, and it remains staunchly nonpartisan.
Today, the Journal of Politics & Society, with its particular focus on undergraduates and interdisciplinary coverage, is the only scholarly publication of its kind. Now in its twenty-eighth year, the Journal only considers academic papers submitted by undergraduates. In a process comparable to the peer review and editing procedures of professional academic journals, selected papers are rigorously edited by the Editorial Board, itself composed exclusively of undergraduates.
In addition to publishing the finest in undergraduate scholarship, the Journal has also featured the works of noted public figures and scholars. The guest essay, the only segment written by non-undergraduates, contextualizes the research in the Journal within the broader sociopolitical dialogue. Past contributors include former President Bill Clinton, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former New Jersey Governor and EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman, former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Senator Elizabeth Dole, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, former World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn, Human Rights Watch President Kenneth Roth, Anthony Marx, and Kenneth Waltz.
The Helvidius Group has also provided counsel and guidance to emerging undergraduate and graduate academic journals such as those at the United States Military Academy, Tblisi State University in Georgia, and Columbia University. It welcomes the questions of students looking to establish or develop similar publications at their institutions.
The Name
The Helvidius Group is named for Helvidius Priscus, a Roman statesman and philosopher of the first century A.D. Known for his virtue and independence of mind, Helvidius Priscus was a staunch advocate of republican government at a time when the imperial mode was ascendant. His defense of senatorial prerogative and opposition to dynastic succession brought him into direct conflict with the Emperors Nero and Vespasian, both of whom banished him. Executed by Vespasian's order in 79 A.D., Helvidius Priscus was an early martyr of responsible government and freedom of speech.
During the ratification debate that followed the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Helvidius Priscus was the pseudonym of Anti-Federalist James Warren. Helvidius Priscus thus took his place alongside Cato and Cincinnatus among the pantheon of Roman republicans. The Helvidius Group notes that Warren's wife, Mercy Otis, engaged in the same debate under the pseudonym, "A Columbian Patriot". The Columbia connection, however, is somewhat tenuous—James Madison as Helvidius was opposed by Columbia alumnus Alexander Hamilton in the famous Helvidius-Pacificus Debate over the legitimacy of a proclamation of neutrality by George Washington in 1793.
The Helvidius Group disclaims any position on senatorial prerogative, dynastic succession, federalism, and U.S. neutrality in foreign wars due to the positions of Helvidius Priscus, both real and attributed.
The name Helvidius is rarely encountered in modern discourse, but Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) provided an interesting exception during a speech, as reported in The New York Times on November 20, 2002. According to Byrd, at 85, Fills the Forum With Romans and Wrath, Senator Byrd articulated the courage displayed by Helvidius Priscus in opposing Vespasian. The Helvidius Group seeks to continue his tradition of intellectual freedom and individualism.
The Helvidius Group has several different affiliations and relationships within Columbia University.
As an undergraduate student organization, Helvidius is officially an academic club recognized by the Activities Board at Columbia (ABC), a governing board that oversees more than 150 different student organizations on campus. As an ABC organization, Helvidius is advised by the Office of Student Engagement. Currently, Veronica Baran serves as Helvidius' adviser.
Click here to view a PDF copy of Helvidius' ABC constitution.
Helvidius also receives financial support from the sale of the Journal, subscriptions, advertisements, and donations. Read more in the Support section.
As a subsidiary of the university, Helvidius enters into contractual obligations and holds copyrights under the auspices of the Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Columbia name and crown are used with permission.
The Helvidius Group is a recognized student group within Columbia University, a section 501(c)(3) not for profit organization. Donations may therefore be tax-deductible, but you should consult a qualified tax adviser for the tax status of donations. The Helvidius Group accepts donations from individuals and groups in any amount. Contributors who donate over $50 will receive a complimentary copy of the Journal and contributors of at least $200 will be listed prominently in the next edition of the Journal.

The Yellowhead stretches through BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and is named after the Yellowhead Pass that crosses the Rockies. The pass and the highway are both named after an Iroquois-Métis trapper, fur-trader, and explorer who worked for the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Pierre Bostonais was nicknamed Yellow Head, or Tête Jaune in French, because of his blond hair. The name Bostonais refers to his probable American origin as American traders were often identified as Boston men in French. Bostonais died 1828.
This abandoned 2-story log house, age undetermined, is still standing upright on the north side of the Yellowhead Highway, just west of Vegreville, AB. All photos, except where noted, copyright D. MacLeod. All rights reserved.

"You're gonna make me wear that?" Rob jabbed a finger at the leather straps and brass studs dangling from the hanger. "That crap won't even cover my meat and two veg!"
"You're wearing it." I said, staring him down. "You go to the damn gym everyday, may as well show it off."
He spun away from the costume, glaring around the store as though it had slapped him in the ass.
"How about that?" he said, waving at an old-fashioned suit that looked like it belonged in vaudeville.
I didn't even bother to reply.
"O.K. That?"
I examined the outfit he'd pointed to—a cowboy get-up. Needless to say, the chaps weren't assless.
"It's a Roman party, for Christ's sake. Why are you being such a scaredy-cat?"
"Not all Roman's were gladiators!" he said, poking again at the over-lapping leather of the costume's skirt.
"Whatever." I wandered away to stare at the neon wigs.

"Cassie, Rob. S'glad you could come!"
It sounded like my co-worker had been at the Jack for a while; I needed to find that bottle. I strode away to the kitchen, but not fast enough to miss her drunken giggle.
"You dressed as a kitten?"
Rob's voice was sulky. "I'm a lion."

Tax Reform. Booming Market. Why Now Is a Great Time to Give.
Now is a great time to encourage your clients to explore tax-smart charitable giving. As the tax reform debate heats up, more and more clients will want your guidance navigating the twists and turns of this complex political process – and some of the legislative changes under discussion could make 2017 an unusually good time for them to give. Combine that with the continued surge in the stock market, and the next couple of months present a unique opportunity to help your clients maximize their charitable investments – and their tax savings.
Tax reform may increase the cost of giving.
The tax debate is complicated and rapidly evolving, and it's impossible to predict what Congress will do. However, one of the basic ideas under discussion is a reduction in the marginal tax rate for many wealthy Americans. A lower tax rate would increase the after-tax cost of charitable donations. Consider this example:
Nancy Jones has taxable income of $500,000 and a tax rate of 39.5 percent. She gives $10,000 to a Donor Advised Fund at a community foundation and takes a charitable deduction for the gift. As a result, her tax bill is reduced by $3,960, so the after-tax cost of her donation is $6,040. However, if Nancy's tax rate drops to 35 percent, the federal subsidy for her gift will fall to $3,500, so her after-tax cost will increase to $6,500.
There is a real possibility that, for many of your clients, the cost of giving will go up in 2018. Clients who give to charity every year, or who plan to make a major gift in the near future, may want to accelerate their plans in order to take full advantage of the current charitable deduction limits.
High stock values mean it's a great time to give appreciated assets.
The S&P 500 is up 23 percent over the last 12 months and 27 percent over the last three years. That means now is a great time to talk with clients about the benefits of donating appreciated securities. There are a couple of reasons that giving stock instead of cash can help your clients can maximize their charitable investments. First, giving appreciated stock that's been held for more than one year will allow them to take a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value on the day it's donated. They can also avoid the capital-gains tax that they would owe if they sold the stock and donated the proceeds to charity.
For clients who would reap tax savings from a year-end charitable gift but haven't had time to craft a thoughtful giving plan, partnering with a community foundation can be a great solution. By opening a Donor Advised Fund, they can receive an immediate tax benefit, while retaining the flexibility to do their due diligence and support one or more nonprofits over several years, the rest of their lives, or even multiple generations.
If you have clients who might benefit from establishing a Donor Advised Fund, contact a Philanthropic Advisor at The Minneapolis Foundation at 612-672-3878 to discuss how we can work with you to support their goals.

Oilslick Edit
A fairly weak beer-based grog favored by gnomes, oilslick has a black, almost slimy appearance, though it is actually as thin as water. Some claim that it's made from distilled petroleum, and while this rumor is (hopefully) lacking in truth, the gnomes like to spread it amongst outsiders and first-time drinkers.
A character who consumes a tankard of oilslick must pass a DC 11 Fortitude save or become intoxicated (see Arms and Equipment Guide, page 32).
Cost: 15 gp per pint.

Initial planting of maize in the one-million-acre Galana-Kulalu irrigation scheme is set to begin this week. Green Arava, Israel firm which won the KES14bn tender will develop the model farm by first planting maize crop on 1,000 acres of the land. The model farm estimated at 10,000 acres is being used as a demonstration unit for the project's opportunities.
Government expects that the first maize crop harvesting from the project will be in August as it will take three months to mature and will be processed on the farm. The contractor has already ordered for a milling plant from South Africa to process maize flour. The plant will come with a dryer making it easy to contain cases of afflatoxin that are common in the area given its humid condition.
Green Arava plans for a minimum of 80 bags of maize from an acre under good farming practices borrowed from Israel. Pivot equipment has also been installed on the farm to irrigate crops and apply liquid fertiliser.
The Galana-Kulalu Food Project, located in the Coast region, is a public–private partnership worth KES260bn in which the government and private investors are providing infrastructural services envisioned to plant crops and set up processing plants.
The exercise was scheduled to start last week but was hampered by the rains that have been thumping the region recently. The Galana-Kulalu project is intended to boost food security, employment opportunities and create wealth across East Africa.
Since the mega project was launched last year, several key achievements have been registered. These include, 200km bush clearing, grading of 150km graded and 87km murram. Others are the rehabilitation of Danisa and Galana River Lodge airstrips and the rehabilitation of 33 water pans of which 19 are complete, with a capacity ranging from 15,000 to 120,000 cubic metres each.

PM Modi has waged war against poor through demonetisation drive: Rahul Gandhi
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Dadri (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Dec. 13 (ANI): Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is waging war against the poor people through demonetisation. "PM Modi has waged a war against the poor people. I don't see any rich or black money holders in the queue, they are withdrawing money using the back door," he said at a rally in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh. "The situation will not normalise in 50 days but the nation will bear the brunt of the demonetisation move for years," Gandhi told ANI adding that the decision had been taken without consulting any expert. "If I will be allowed to speak in the Parliament then I will explain what is the objective and reason behind demonetizing high denomination currency notes," he added. He further said that Prime Minister Modi does not want to listen and only wants to speak. Gandhi said that Prime Minister's narrative has changed over time. First it was fight against black money, then terrorism and now it's about making society cashless. Ridiculing the government's demonetisation move, he added, "He talks about making the society cashless, but the society has already become cashless because of this move." "A few big businessmen have taken Rs 8 lakh crore loans from banks, which they are not paying back. PM cannot bring back money from the loan defaulters as they were the ones to market him. Hence, PM has made you stand in lines for banks to function," he added. Earlier, former finance minister P Chidambaram had slammed the move, calling it this year's biggest scam, which needed a thorough probe. (ANI)

Inspired by Mexican-American folktale, La Llorona, (the Weeping Woman), Malas is a work of fiction. The novel is set in the early 1990s, in Las Cienegas, a fictional town on the Texas-Mexico border. Nerdy high school freshman by day, wannabe rock singer by night, fourteen-year-old Lulu Muñoz is out to make her mark on the world in spite of her complicated father, Julio Muñoz.
When her father's relationship with a married woman brings violence into Lulu's life, and he reacts by shutting her out, Lulu decides to take matters into her own hands. She sets out to find the truth about her father while keeping him from discovering her own secret life. She's the front-man for a high school punk band, Pink Vomit. She's sneaking into night clubs across the Mexican border. Battling her father for her own autonomy, she breaks the family taboo and seeks out Pilar Aguirre, her estranged biological grandmother, and the woman who, local history says, tried to drown Julio at birth.

Hugo wants to do everything himself now that he is two-and-a-half. He and I are getting along just fine in this phase. I'm proud of his perception and ability to imitate what he sees me and his father doing. Patience abounds.
Usually when I get home from picking him up at school, I let Hugo climb into the driver's seat and mess with the controls. He hasn't pulled off the rearview mirror in over a year, and I can deal with strange stereo settings along with the wipers coming on when I start the car. But last week, it wasn't enough anymore.

Children Need To Be Taught Readiness Skills
In the event of a disaster in your area such as a flood, fire, or a severe storm are your children prepared? Are you? Casual conversations to these youngsters can help them prepare without scaring the wits out of them.
Do not panic your kids.
Talk to them about maybe a bumpy ride is coming up or a loud set of noises that may scare them but they need to be brave.Of course this works with the babies but what about your 10 year-old. Telling the younger set that a storm is a monster or the wind and rain is a boogey man isn't going to help them be calm when you need them to be.
And they will ask about said monster or boogey man.
Train them now in terms that will not disturb them mentally.
Play the camping game. When we were growing up we used to set up a camp in our backyard in the summer time. Pulling a blanket over our swing set or even setting up a real tent was part of the fun.
This can graduate into preparedness skills with out shattering the spirit of a youngster's view of life.
Given information in the wrong fashion your children can suffer unneeded fright and emotional distress. Readiness is to prevent this kind of disturbance in them.

Marine & Coastal
Post-Katrina Hurricane Protection
As part of the initiative to protect the Gulf Coast from damage such as that experienced during Hurricane Katrina, an existing levee near Atchafalaya, MS was to be enlarged that to address concerns regarding stability and to accommodate barge and other marine traffic, and public access. The project was significantly over budget and the value team offered recommendations to reduce the project cost by nearly 50%.
Houston Shipping Channel
The ship channel dredged material maintenance plan is mandated as storage capacity for the placement areas along various dredge reaches within the channel are reaching their maximum storage capacity. The client had identified various opportunities to enhance the storage capacity of several placement areas; however, this VE effort was commissioned to further explore other opportunities to assist in strengthening levee foundations, exploring other placement area sites, or disposition of the dredged material.
Dredging Placement Area Expansion
This fast track project to provide additional capacity in disposal areas for dredge spoil excavated from a major shipping channel. Capacity was developed by efficiently connecting the existing placement areas and developing beneficial use areas. The team recommended changing levee alignments to achieve a potential cost reduction of 29%. Moreover, the team also recommended changes to construction methods yielding substantive value improvements in the storage capacity of the placement areas and simultaneously improving the diversity and sustainability of the intertidal marsh habitat in the beneficial use areas. The team's recommendations decreased the project's risk in the uncertainty associated with soft foundations.
Navy Pier
The U.S. Navy is building a new pier structure that will have over 100,000 cubic yards of concrete and is expected to be completed in 2013. The structure is being designed and built to a required service life of 75 years without major restoration activities.
Results of the value team efforts during a design charrette workshop yielded eighteen (18) value alternatives which the key stakeholders accepted and the design team incorporated into the final concept resulting in over $10 million implemented savings.

"Roya!" in downtown livermore.. raves (me!) sandra, tvgp
i just finished typing a passionate review on trip advisor, i think it was.. but then you have to -sign up- in order to publish..
you know i already vowed never to create another username and password for as long as i live..
so, let me just make my point here:
"Spectacular! Delicious! Magnificent!"
my date let (me!) choose where to eat, so "Roya!" was my top choice...
i had visited there last month for the first time.. lunch. sat outside on a gorgeous day.. salmon, shrimp kabob with brown rice..green sauce, red wine.. however they prepared that salmon.. best ever! texture, flavor.. and that sauce drizzled over.. heaven.
tonight we sat inside.. got to take in the art, photography, mosaics, decor.. plus the meal was delicious again and the service most hospitable and gracious.. he had the chicken kabob, i had to order an encore of that salmon.. -damn.. its just so good..
pardon me.. but darn does not capture..
anyway.. little something i learned while inquiring about the pbotography
of course i was curious who took the photographs.. maybe someone who owned or worked at the restaurant.. but no, -turns out they were just purchased..
but the one of the village.. tucked in the mountains.. the view!
and it was explained to me.. the poor people live at the top, the rich on the bottom.
-you know i've written about that here.. how it is the exact and polar opposite.. the best views go to the rich.. period. and i think, if im remembering correctly.. i pointed out that..
well, any rich people with great views here.. if you mentioned that maybe some low income properties should also be made available..
a low income person as a neighbor of someone with a great view from their mansion..
well, they'd have their attorneys paying another layer of attorneys to stop even the suggestion from floating around in public places.
i do not know this, as a fact. ive not actually interviewed any rich people on the subject
what i have done is watch several exciting episodes of city council meetings, and what i do know from watching those..
if it weren't absolutely required and mandated by law that we include low income housing in our city
-we would have no low income housing at all; period again.
but it is the law.. and so we have some... but not next door to rich people with mansions and great views..
the great views for low income people will come only from 'high-density' properties. /my very favorite euphemism for apartments.
anyway.. i must interrupt with an inconvenient truth:
even if you are living out of your car here in pleasanton..
its still amazing living, -relatively speaking.
back to the photograph at Roya's..
the reason the poor people in the villages live at the top with the great views.. and the rich people live at the bottom..
is because "there is NO WATER!". so, people at the top have to hike back and forth, hunting, gathering, and carrying...
did i not just blog about how i am swimming in blessings everyday even though i don't have two dimes to rub together...
so there you have it. a different kind of restaurant review by (me!) sandra, tvgp.

Run from your houses! TCAF is coming!!!
Yep, TCAF (the Toronto Comic Arts Festival) is happening this weekend (Saturday May 11 9-5 and Sunday May 12 11-5) at the Toronto Reference Library. Already happening, in fact!
I'm in a whirlwind of prep and programming (I'm speaking on a panel at TCAF Librarian & Educators Day this afternoon on non-fiction comics!), so here's just a quick peek of what I'll have at the fest:
All me loot (clockwise from left): wordless linocut novel Back + Forth, stack of various zines and prints, 24 hour comic book day comic made in one week Good Morning!, my *NEW* mini comic Homeache, and wordless relief print erotic story anthology Boom Boom Boom.
Homeache, silkscreen cover on Stonehenge, 24 pages, 4.25 x 5.5″
Homeache is a memorial to an old Toronto apartment and the ways that a place comes to shape us as we fill it with experience.
Here comes Canzine!!
I'll be tabling at Canzine this weekend and I can't wait! This is a big, busy zine fest and I always find great stuff for sale and meet some really nice people.
I'll have copies of Boom Boom Boom available, as well as older books, zines, screenprints and limited copies of my large linoprint. I'm also taking part in the Hollywood Rip-Off Zine Challenge, where I will put together a zine in one hour based on a well-known 90's film that will be announced at the event (I have a shortlist so will be watching a few to prepare). Based on my experience putting together a zine in one hour with Static Zine at the 12hr Zine Machine event at Nuit Blanche, I know I will have to HUSSLE… one hour is barely any time!
Stop by and say hi if you can!
What's up summertime?
A little update from my studio:
- I'm still in the process of binding books. Who would have thought that binding 200 books by hand would take a long time? Ha! I have completed almost 40 books, have another 10 close to done and another 150 to go after that. Last night I finished collating all the books!!! Collating means putting the pages in order. Maybe it doesn't sound like much, but it's a dull process which requires a lot of space to lay out all the pages and a lot of time to put them all together. I also made headway on trimming the text blocks (the term for the stack of pages before they are bound). Only 130 blocks left to trim. Ha! It sounds like a lot, but with the beautiful ancient paper trimmer at my studio, it should only take a couple hours of work.
- I'm still eating great snacks! This is a picture from last week. I neglected to photograph last night's snack repertoire, which consisted of salt and pepper chips, salt and vinegar chips and dark chocolate with hazelnuts. Yes, two kinds of chips. I had a lot of work to do!
- At the end of this week, I am leaving for Alaska for a month!! This means that production of books will slow down a bit (meaning they won't be available online for at least another 6 weeks) but hopefully creative production overall will increase by a million. I'm so excited to hike, kayak, see special people and NOT WORK 40hrs/week!! Wooooo!!!!
- I spent some time updating my website. Hope you like it! There's some new content in the Comics, Drawings and Books sections. Check 'er out!
Boom Boom Boom binding
Here is a little look at a copy of Boom Boom Boom. I sold out of the copies I had ready for TCAF but there are many left to bind. I'm going to have busy hands for the next few weeks!
Japanese Stab Binding with a hinged hardcover
Title and endpages
An image from my story Wild Seed
Back cover 🙂
Meanwhile, in the studio…
Studio work is always made happier with a robust selection of snacks!

That is what we call a lie.it was not a paper from a phony AFAM class which is a lie. Yes I would say it qualifies as a lie.As presented this paper is a lie. It is false and misleading. That is a lie. just because a lie contains an element of truth doesn't make it not a lie. So, your first statement about it being questionable and possibly not being authenticated is a lie, then? You are unequivocally stating this is no longer questionable? You are stating it has been authenticated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a brand I like, and if you're tall then you might too. It makes me happy that I can browse everything they carry and know that something will fit just right. The shirts come in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors for men 6'0" to 7'0." Sorry, ladies, nothing for you yet.
TallSlim Tees was founded in 2014 by Dan Deceuster after years of frustration with t-shirt sizes (much like the frustration of my own), and designed a custom t-shirt specifically for tall, lean men like myself.
Check out their first video:
One of the shirts I have is the tall v-neck in royal blue, the original and top-selling v-neck t-shirt made from a 50/50 cotton polyester blend. It's soft, lightweight, and fits like a dream.

At the core of the discontent was a decision by Fernandez three weeks ago to raise export taxes for soy from 35% to 44% though a sliding scale of tariffs. Other observers have called the soy tax and efforts to ban exports of some farm products as misguided attempts to retain the supply of basic goods in
. The government's argument is that the large-scale export of products like soy cause local shortages and drive up the price of food in Argentina . Argentina
The protesting farmers (the organizers claim as many as 150,000 took part) blocked international routes used for trade with neighboring Brazil, Paraguay and Chile, leading the government to threaten police action to clear the roads if necessary. The strike forced many supermarkets and butchers to close their meat counters, a dramatic move in a land famous for its abundant and tasty beef. Fruit and vegetable prices rose and exports of cereals and oils have also been affected.
A 30-day truce ended at the start of the month. With more than half of all export revenues coming from agricultural exports which are now at a standstill, things aren't looking up for Argentina's economy. The main agricultural producers in the country want nothing less than the removal of the additional tariffs, but Kirchner won't back down from the redistributive ploy. The result is that the farmers have gone back to good ol' "industrial action," as per the British euphemism. From Reuters:
What are these farmer doing with all that agricultural produce in the meantime now that they are unwilling to cooperate? Socialists would say they are "hoarding"; these farmers would say they are "protecting their interests." Mercopress has an interesting article on how farmers are using ginormous silos to keep the non-exported grains away from unwelcome parties. Will they succeed in starving the government of revenues from export tariffs? It will be interesting to watch, to say the least:
Thousands of farmers lined
's highways on Thursday in fresh protests to disrupt key grains exports and pressure the government to cut agricultural taxes. Farmers launched the eight-day strike after breaking off weeks of talks with the government, complaining that President Cristina Fernandez had refused to modify a new system of export taxes that triggered a three-week strike in March. Argentina
"They wanted to trample all over us, but they couldn't do it," said Alfredo De Angeli, a farm leader in Entre Rios province who became well-known for his fiery speeches during the first strike. The Entre Rios town of
Gualeguaychu, some 125 miles (200 km) from , has become the focus of farm protests. Buenos Aires is one of the world's top suppliers of corn, wheat and soy, and the protests have pushed up soy prices on world markets. Argentina
's peso currency slipped as investors concerned over a prolonged conflict sought refuge in dollars [!], and the local currency is now languishing close to a five-year low. Bonds and stocks were also jittery. Argentina
Traders at
Argentina's main grains market in said they had no orders. Farmers plan to hold back products from soy crushers and exporters through May 15. But they have ruled out a repeat of the roadblocks that caused food shortages during March's strike, when the government accused them of trying to hurt ordinary Argentines. Rosario
Fernandez's leftist government has offered a tax rebate and transportation subsidies for small producers to cushion the effect of the new taxes, but farmers said they will not go back to negotiations unless she suspends the measure. The sliding-scale tax system pins export taxes to international prices, raising levies on soybeans to about 40 percent at current prices from the previous fixed rate of 35 percent. "When they don't have any more cash from exports, that's when they'll have to sit down to talk," said one farmer in Gualeguaychu who declined to give his name.
's vast fertile farmlands make it the world's No. 2 corn exporter, the third-biggest soy supplier and the No. 4 provider of wheat and beef. The conflict with the farming community has landed Fernandez with her biggest challenge since taking office five months ago. Top officials criticized the new wave of protests. "It's a hugely irresponsible decision that makes no sense at all. It's just about defending the interests of one sector and not about the general interest," said Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo. Argentina
Fernandez has refused to scrap the sliding-scale tax system and she defends high export taxes on farm goods as a way to redistribute wealth and combat inflation in a country where a quarter of the population lives in poverty. Soy exports earned the country $13.47 billion last year while sales of farm goods abroad accounted for 52 percent of total Argentine exports, totaling $29.13 billion.
The extended Argentine farmers/government conflict, which was triggered in early March when the new sliding export taxes system was announced, and its renewed eight days of protest, have left an estimated 44 million tons of grains and oil seeds unsold, valued in approximately 12 billion US dollars, according to market analysts interviewed by the Buenos Aires press. The 44 million unsold tons are equivalent to 45% of the 2007/08 harvest which is forecasted to be
's second record with 96.8 million tons equivalent to 25 billion US dollars. Argentina
Non exported grains will inevitably have an impact for the Argentine government coffers since it will have limited access to collecting the controversial export tax if farmers hold on to their crops. This is particularly true since farmers apparently with the help of plastic silos can store such huge volumes of grains.
According to Gustavo Lopez from Agritrend, of the 44 million tons, 75% is soy.
still has to ship overseas an estimated 32 million tons of soy, (some of it already sold but with no price agreed) which at current local prices is equivalent to 9 billion US dollars. The country's total soy crop is expected to reach 48 million tons of which 14 million still are waiting to be harvested. Argentina
Ricardo Baccarin from Panagricola argues that given the current uncertainty in the grains market, and situation, farmers are holding on to their soy crops "which is the most valuable.They've decided to sell what they need to face current expenditures and the rest they are holding on to; we could be facing a historic year in so far as crop retention is concerned", added Baccarin.
Normally at this time of the year daily transactions in the area of
Rosario( 's main soy bean hub) "are in the range of 100 to 200.000 tons of soy, but currently it's down to 10 to 30.000 tons". Lopez revealed that an estimated 51 million tons of the current crop have been commercialized, and even when soy beans retention is as high as 75%, "most of corn and wheat has been traded. Of the 16 million tons of wheat possibly 4.2 million tons remain unsold". Argentina
Regarding corn, of a crop of 21 million tons, 10.4 million tons have been traded and exporters have registered sales for 10.7 million tons.
's domestic consumption is 7.8 million tons. Nevertheless grain traders are fearful because last year the Kirchner administration clamped exports when the overseas registry reached 10.5 million tons. Lopez says that 25 million tons, (14 million of soy and 11 million of corn, sorghum and others) still have to be harvested. Argentina
And how do farmers store such huge volumes? Apparently plastic portable silos with minimum units of 200 tons and which can stand a whole year has become the most common resource in current circumstances. "The plastic silos are a good strategy for tough moments and uncertainty" said representatives from a company which specializes in selling these products. Apparently business has been booming and sales of plastic silos could store well above 40 million tons. "That's where most of the crop should be now", added Lopez.
This also means a huge improvement from the 2003/04 harvest when plastic silos helped store 12 million tons. Companies admitted this has become a "90 million US dollars business per crop". Provincial authorities' sources from
estimated that Argentine farmers could be holding on to grains and oil seeds valued at almost 20 billion US dollars [!] Cordoba

Rosie O'Donnell has returned to blogging, after giving up last month. This week, she's giving some fierce love to Tyra Banks. Using her trademark "poem/laundry list" style of prose, Rosie sang Tyra's praises as she plugged her own two-episode appearance on Tyra's show this week:
Rosie will be on Tyra on Feb. 26 and 27 to talk about her new Lifetime movie, the foster care system, and, presumably, how awesome Tyra is. Check out this promo from Rosie.com:
The boob tube has been missing Rosie's unique presence and I have a feeling, that Tyra is looking forward to a guest who isn't a 14 year old Lolita or a cherubic YouTube star.
The two divas are destined to create memorable moments next week and my TiVo is humming with excitement. Are you excited about the diva-licious combo?

Stranglehold Trailer and Game Info
Before Max Payne popularised 'Bullet Time', John Woo was making waves with his slow mo, cool as anything, gun battles in films like Hard Boiled, starring Chow Yun Fat as Inspector Tequila. John Woo's Stranglehold is set a few years after the events of Hard Boiled and has the input of both John Woo and Chow Yun Fat in the project.
GameSpot spoke to Stranglehold director Brian Eddy about how the game was progressing and a number of cool features that gamers could try out when it's released sometime this Summer.
Players can perform Tequila Bombs in Stranglehold with different TB resulting in different actions:
Precision Aim – This allows players to go into first person where they can directly target critical hit points on an enemy to take them out with one-shot kills, or even focus on an element in the environment with precise aim, such as a propane tank causing a massive explosion in one area. It's also great for those guys hiding behind cover that may be hard to hit otherwise. We consider this to be a good long-range attack.
Barrage – This move unleashes a flurry of bullets at high speed that takes out any enemies (and their cover) that are in your path. This is a great focused frontal attack. If a bunch of enemies are running directly toward you, barrage is the perfect attack to take them out quickly. It's also a lot of fun to blow up the environment around the enemies to take them out with falling debris.
Spin Attack – This is a medium range 360 degree attack in the vein of the "smart bombs" in old arcade games that clear all the enemies in the immediate area surrounding you.
Each of these Tequila bombs has a specific tactical function. Precision aim for long-range enemies, barrage for straight-on frontal attacks, and spin for when enemies surround you.
Mexican standoff is a key stylistic feature of John Woo, so we knew we had to include it in some form. We've made it into a quick mini-game of fast-action choices just like you would see in John Woo's movies.
There isn't going to be much difference between the PS3, 360 and PC versions of the game but they will be some use for the tilt control in the SIXAXIS.
I love action games and I'm starting to take notice of Stranglehold. I'll wait until it's reviewed before I make a decision but the trailer below certainly impresses! 😆

|Need Help??
The possible size of an array is only limited by how much memory you have. You may be running out of memory here. Instead of creating a huge scalar and a huge array, you might try just creating the array as you read the file:
This may help enough to get the entire array into memory, but if not, you'll have to use some scheme for keeping the data on the hard disk and only reading what you need. Sounds like a good job for a tied array, maybe something in the Tie namespace on CPAN will help.

London Fire Brigade have offered Coldplay frontman Chris Martin a free home fire safety visit after his wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, admitted that he has twice called 999 after kitchen cooking disasters.
Last night Paltrow said on Channel 4 cookery show, Jamie and Jimmy's Food Fight Club: "He has twice cooked a meal and this is not a joke, both times the fire brigade came. I swear on my life – both times."
London Fire Brigade's Head of Operations, Prevention and Response Dave Brown released a statement saying:
"People often think that fires only happen to vulnerable people but young professionals have a quarter of all house fires in London. Chris will know that fires can develop almost at the 'Speed of Sound' so it's important that when they're cooking, people don't have 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' and leave their cooking unattended causing a lot of 'Trouble'.
He added: "Three out of five house fires start in the kitchen so at this time of year with the family coming round from Christmas dinner it is important to follow our advice."
Chris Martin last night (December 12) performed at 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden in New York. He played Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' before being joined by Michael Stipe to sing an acoustic version of R.E.M's 'Losing My Religion'.
