Mock draft part three
Here we are with the third and final part of my 2018 mock draft. Today is the playoff teams. The cream of the crop.
22. Buffalo Bills: The second of Buffalo's first rounders after moving up to the fourth spot. The Bills have a couple of big body WRs on the team with Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones. They need a slot guy to work underneath and bust open for big plays. They take Christian Kirk out of Texas A&M. Kirk can also double up as a return ace.
23. New England Patriots: Look, this may be the most controversial pick I have in this mock. Tom Brady won't be getting younger anytime soon. Yes, he's playing at a high level but why not grab his eventual replacement here. The Pats roll the dice on Lamar Jackson out of Louisville. Jackson reminds me of Michael Vick and I think he'd be a good fit in New England to learn from Tom Brady. At the worst, they trade him in a couple of years for more draft picks
24. Carolina Panthers: The Panthers are another team that could use some help up front. They have a pedestrian offensive line and could bolster it with the selection of guard Will Hernandez out of UTEP. They need to open holes for Cam Newton and Christian McCaffery. Simple pick.
25. Tennessee Titans: Not sure where they Titans go here. They could trade out of this pick with someone looking to get back in the first round. Never hurts to have more play making linebackers so I think they'll take a look at Leighton Vander Esch, inside linebacker, out of Boise State. Again, just not sure if they keep this pick.
26. Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons need another defensive tackle after Dontari Poe left in free agency. I think this is another cut and dried pick. They'll take Da'Ron Payne, DT, out of Alabama. Payne will be a space eater with the potential to be a great inside force for the Falcons.
27. New Orleans Saints: I wanted to have the Saints trade up but they lack a second round pick this year so it's hard to do so. We all know that Drew Brees is getting up there in age and a quarterback may be tempting. However, I think they want to win now and not prep for the future. The first tight end comes off the board with Hayden Hurst out of South Carolina being the pick. Hurst is an older rookie at 25 due to minor league baseball, but fills a tight end need for Brees across the middle.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers could go five different ways with this first round pick. They need help on defense a bit more than the offensive side early. They've need a safety for a long time and with the loss of Mike Mitchell, it's worse. They take Ronnie Harrison out of Alabama to fill up a spot on the back end of the defense.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars: If it wasn't for the decision to give Blake Bortles a lot of money for being middle of the road, the Jags would take a QB here. Since they did, they need to improve that right side of the offensive line for the running back. I think they go with Kolton Miller out of UCLA. Miller looks to be better on the right side with better run blocking in his game.
30. Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings need cornerback help. Sorry, Vikings fans, but Terrance Newman isn't getting any younger. They take Mike Hughes out of UCF. Hughes has some baggage but could evolve into a solid #2 corner across from Xavier Rhodes.
31. New England Patriots: With their potential QB of the future the Pats can look in a different direction with this selection. I'm not too sure what else they need outside of always restocking pass rushers and cornerbacks. So, hey, why not take cornerback Donte Jackson out of LSU. Need someone to replace Malcolm Butler.
32. Philadelphia Eagles: I think the Eagles trade out of this pick but I'm not sure who with. So I'm just giving them a player to take here. Let's give them linebacker Malik Jefferson out of Texas.
Both the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs will not be picking in the first round due to prior trades. Too bad for them. So there is my 2018 mock draft. The NFL Draft begins on April 26 and can be viewed on a variety of sports networks.

"So next time when you see a kid with cancer or even someone who looks a little different, try a smile."
Thirteen years ago, a teenager with cancer made a wish. She wanted to make a difference by sharing a message with all who would listen. The Make-A-Wish© Foundation of Michigan made Alex Graham's wish for a public service announcement a reality. Alex and the friends she made at the hospital used the wish opportunity to speak from the heart. People across America and from around world listened. Their message still rings true today, and a new version of their video has just been released.
Alex would have been 30 this year. Her inspirational story is told in the book When One Door Closes. Like Alex, some of the children in her video lost their health battles, but their courage, grace and message will always be with us. Some in the video like Amanda who says, "No more pokes," is now 15 years old and a talented artist. Judy is now married, and Ethan is a college student!
When you watch this newly released version of Alex's wish, you will see that time has not changed the importance or the relevance of her message. As you listen to their words, please consider supporting organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America©, the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and the American Cancer Society. These and many other fine organizations bring smiles to those who need it most, offer assistance and fund medical research. Choose to get involved and make a difference. Your time, talent and contributions will help open doors for others.

PATERSON, N.J.(CBSNewYork) — It came out of nowhere! A car crashed and burst into flames near fuel pumps at a gas station in Paterson.
The accident caused nearby residents to run for their lives.
However, as CBS 2's Steve Langford reported, the fiery crash could have been much worse.
Just before 3 a.m. a car crashed into a gas station, narrowly missing the fuel pump. The driver of the car had to be pulled from the fiery wreck as flames began to ravage the home next door.
"I heard a big crash," Marcos Negrini recalled.
Negrini and his wife got the shock of their lives when the explosion and fire chased them from their first floor home in the middle of the night.
It was a chaotic scene as surveillance video showed people running towards and then away from the fire next to gas pumps.
"They were saying 'get out of the car' and then I heard them like screaming and yelling," Emmanuel Garcia said.
Neighbors say that the intersection turns into a scene late at night, filled with traffic, speeding cars, and lots of people.
The violent crash sent nearby residents into a late night panic.
"When I looked out the window the fire was high in the air," a witness said.
The fuel pumps and tanks were not touched, and the neighborhood was spared.
Investigators have yet to release the condition of the driver pulled from the vehicle.

Obviously, a green garment is absolutely clutch when it comes to getting dressed on St. Patrick's Day, but ... what else do you wear? What you have planned on the holiday makes all the difference, BUT the inclusion of green will never change! Here are six outfit inspirations to help you decide how to style your St. Patrick's Day t-shirt this year, whether you're going to the office, a parade, a date, or downtown.
1. What To Wear To Go Shopping
Women's Paddy's Irish Pub T-Shirt – Shop
Maybe you don't have huge plans for St. Patrick's Day. It's a Tuesday night, after all. But, you still want to avoid that oh-so-cliché pinch that everyone loves to joke about. Pair a green t-shirt with some comfy jeans and a cardigan, and throw together some matching accessories. Mint counts as green. We decree it starting now. Also, pick up a Shamrock Shake for the stroll between shops. That counts as a green accessory, too.
2. What To Wear To A Concert
Women's Kiss For Luck T-Shirt – Shop
A St. Patrick's Day concert?! How exciting! If you're headed to a venue to see a band play, here's an idea on how to add some edge to your outfit. (PLEASE tell us if you're going to see Dropkick Murphys. That's a St. Paddy's Day dream.) A pleated, high-waisted skater skirt with a vintage t-shirt tucked in always looks cute, especially when you tie a flannel around your waist. March is chilly, so grab a scarf and leather jacket, too. Optional: killer red lipstick.
3. What To Wear To Work
Women's Pima Cotton T-Shirt in Emerald - Shop
When we say "you have to wear green on St. Paddy's Day," we don't necessarily mean super, neon, bright, kelly green. A nice, dark emerald works just fine. If you want to show off your holiday spirit, but still look professional at the same time, this high-quality cotton blank t-shirt does the trick. Match it with a light pink blazer, tailored pants, and a super-cute iPad cover, and your outfit is set. (Coffee, too, please. Daylight saving time in the spring is a killer.)
4. What To Wear To The Bar
Women's Irish Whiskey Makes Me Frisky T-Shirt – Shop
Okay, the rules for dressing to go downtown change drastically on St. Patrick's Day. Lucky you, on this night you can afford to be a little flashier and a little sillier than usual. This is the perfect time to break out your "Irish Whiskey Makes Me Frisky" t-shirt. Also, have some green beads left over from Mardi Gras? Relevant again! Cheers!
5. What To Wear On A Date
Everyone Loves an Irish Girl – Shop
This outfit is another example on how to dress up a t-shirt for a little more formal situation. This light green shirt works perfectly with a floral skater skirt and the off-white cardigan adds another layer of femininity. Light mint-colored accessories add to the fun spirit of a St. Patrick's Day outfit without looking costume-y. Don't forget the mint eos lip balm, too. You know. Just in case. *mwah!*
6. What To Wear To A Parade
Gimme a Kiss Kelly Green T-Shirt – Shop
Alright. You're going to walk in a St. Patrick's Day parade? This is where you bust out all the stops. A double layer of green and black tutus. CHECK. Matching glitter leprechaun hat and shoes. CHECK. CHECK. Shamrock sunglasses, body glitter, and a bright green feather boa. CHECK times three. Great news, too! This is a perfect opportunity to wear a fanny pack! And we know you're always looking for a chance to wear that thing. Loud and proud, friends. Fill it with gold coins or Lucky Charms cereal. Or your phone and wallet, whatever.

The Food Exchange Resource Network (FERN) is a collaborative effort of 10 agencies — 9 human food banks and one pet food bank. FERN's mission is to make food available to human food and pet food pantries and their clients. We procure large amounts of food that we share, and the individual pantries share their excess food. Our primary expense is the warehouse space and utilities to run our large cooler and freezer.
Warehouse space in the Denver-metro area has become very expensive and in high-demand due to the ever-increasing pressure to use warehouses as marijuana grow houses. To date, RTD has been generous to FERN and continues to seek longer-term favorable leasing and sub-leasing arrangements beneficial to them and to FERN to keep the cost of the space affordable.

There's a catch, though: Lots of that visual information isn't important, and it might be replacing more relevant stuff, like where you parked the car.
|Seniors may be just as good as youngsters at processing visual information, but they may not be able to filter out what's irrelevant to the task, a new study suggests. Here, a recreation director in West Chester, Pa., works trivia questions on a tablet with seniors.

A new study suggests that adults who are well into their 60s and 70s can learn visual information just as readily as the whippersnappers in the 19-to-30-year-old range, but the elders pick up much more irrelevant visual information than do their younger counterparts.
The findings could help clarify the nature of cognitive declines that come with age. At least for visual perceptual learning, older brains remain "plastic," or changeable, but they may sacrifice stability — or long-term retention of information, the study suggests. And that's because of a decline in the ability to suppress information that isn't germane to the task at hand, according to the study.
"Our brain capacity is limited," said Brown University neuroscientist Takeo Watanabe, coauthor of the study published online Wednesday in the journal Current Biology. "If you learn more unnecessary things, then there is a risk of replacing important, existing information in the brain with something trivial."
That's not a trivial matter. Watanabe and his fellow researchers from UC Riverside and National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan have been exploring how older people learn. A study they published this month showed that learning-related changes in one part of older people's brains involved mainly white matter, while gray matter activity changed among the young.

In broiler and layer farms, drinking water is often acidified to obtain a lower pH in order to stimulate the feed intake of the birds. However, doing so counteracts the efficacy of chlorine, since this most commonly used disinfectant requires a higher rather than a lower pH of the drinking water. Consequently, more chlorine is needed to compensate the diminishing effect caused by the organic acid, which in turn results in uncontrolled (over)dosing.

Mariposas de Guayaba: Fried Guava Wontons
And for Dessert
Since I made Cuban Fried Rice, I figured I'd make Cuban Wontons for dessert. This is so simple, it's silly to show the steps, but here they are:
Wonton Wrappers
Guava Paste
Oil for frying
Lay out your wonton wrappers individually and place a small piece of guava paste in the center. Wet the edges of the wontons all around; fold over into triangles pressing down to seal. Heat oil in a skillet and fry your wontons until golden. That's it, and they go really fast. Everyone loves this.
7 comments:
OMG I LOVE U LOL. if you would've cooked me that delicious Cuban fried rice you made (common ham steak, smoked pork chops, eggs and shrimp MmmmMmmmmmm que rico) and topped it off with this I'd be in food comma heaven for awhile lol.ReplyDelete
Funny thing my grandma makes something like this too lol. she calls it "Frituritas de Guayaba Con Queso" she stuffs it with Guava and cream cheese :)
you can make tiny empanadillas with the wonton wrappers too, like stuff them with Picadillo and deep-fry real good, the picadillo one's are real good also using dumpling wrappers and deep-frying it :)
And just cuz we are on the topic of asian themed cooking you should check out my grandmas "Rabo Encendido Estilo Chino Cubano"
She does the same with Chicken it's like a Cuban style "Soy Sauce Chicken" ha ha.
I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestions Nathan.ReplyDelete
I love making these! You get so many wrappers it's a nice way to use them up! I usually add cream cheese to the guava paste when I make mine. I also used the shredded coconut in syrup too. They were good but a little messy!ReplyDelete
I like the guava with the cream cheese also but my daughter can't have dairy, so I tend to skip the cheese. No one seemed to mind the lack of it though. The wonton on it's own is yummy!ReplyDelete
Honey, you can go "china" on me anytime! Woof!!! XOXOXOXReplyDelete
XOXOXOX PEDRO!ReplyDelete

The former CEO of Chicago manufacturer Republic Windows and Doors pleaded guilty to one count of theft of his own factory.
Richard Gillman accepted a plea bargain of a four year prison sentence and paying a $100,000 fine.
Ricky Maclin is a former worker of the Republic Windows and Doors factory. He and fellow workers began a sit-in exactly 5 years ago at the Republic factory when it was abruptly closed during the height of the economic downturn.
They protested for six days over vacation and severance pay owed to them. Maclin now co-owns New Era Windows Cooperative with some of his former co-workers from Republic. He says justice was served.
"New Era might not be here, but Republic would have been still going had he made different choices. As we make choices today, we always keep that in the back of our minds," Maclin said.
Gillman's attorney Edward Genson said his client at the time wanted to save the factory from bankruptcy.
"The fellow who tries to help ends up being the butt," Genson said.
Genson said Gillman was a victim of the bad economy and he ended up being the "fall guy" for a failing business. In the courtroom, Genson said Gillman apologized to the
former workers present because he felt bad for what happened.
Workers like Maclin said thinking back five years ago, he doesn't completely buy the apology, but he said the sentencing has given him closure.
New Era has been in business since May. The co-op is made up of 16 workers from the Republic factory. The business isn't turning a profit, but they say they're at least breaking even. They're receiving orders from different parts of the country and expect business to pick up even more in the spring.
Co-owner Armando Robles said it's hard work, but they're all hopeful.
"Sometimes we feel tired, sometimes we feel frustrated, but we have one hope to have our company. Now, we have our company. Now, we are producing. We have big, big dreams to grow," he said.

The KSM8 Dualdyne Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone. A groundbreaking feat of engineering design, the KSM8 is the world?s first dual-diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone for revolutionary vocal reproduction and accurate sound-reinforcement and control. The KSM8 extends the company?s wired microphone line which includes numerous products of significance and enduring legacy such as the Unidyne 55 and the SM58 Microphone.
Designed for live sound performances where vocal clarity and sound quality are absolutely critical, the KSM8 not only meets the most discerning quality and reliability standards, it also has the versatility to adapt to changing environments without impacting performance. The KSM8 will revolutionize dynamic microphones in the live sound industry by providing sound engineers with a dynamic microphone that has virtually no proximity effect, a mastery of off-axis rejection and an output accuracy that requires none of the presence peaks or roll-offs that are typical of other dynamic microphones.
Meticulously crafted for exceptional vocal reproduction and sound-reinforcement control for world-class live performance in professional venues, the KSM8 features the purest cardioid polar pattern that Shure has developed to-date, providing the most consistent on-axis performance regardless of the performer's microphone technique.
The ability to virtually eliminate proximity effect and master off-axis rejection is powered by the patented Dualdyne cartridge of the KSM8, which features two ultra-thin diaphragms—one active and one passive—and a groundbreaking inverted airflow system.
As is the case with all Shure products, the world-class design and durability of the KSM8 is present in every aspect of the microphone. A dent-resistant, hardened carbon-steel grille design lined with hydrophobic woven fabric provides exceptional plosive and wind protection, while offering virtually waterproof protection. The aluminum handle—which is available in a brushed nickel or black finish—completes the KSM8's clean and sophisticated design aesthetic that is a seamless addition to any stage.

Can Regular Consumption of Coffee and Energy Drinks Damage the Heart?
At times, we all feel sleepy, tired, and devoid of energy - right after getting up in the morning, in the midst of all-night studying for the exam, or during an especially stressful day at work. A cup of coffee or an energy drink seems like a great way to boost that energy level. And that's what most people do – they drink coffee and energy drinks to keep them awake and alert and then those drinks become a part of their lifestyle. In fact, coffee has become one of the most popular drinks in the world and an irreplaceable part of the day and daily routine. Some people drink a single cup to wake up in the morning, while others drink cup after cup all day and their daily consumption could be as much as five or six cups. It is not surprising that people have started to worry that drinking coffee and energy drinks may be dangerous for the heart. The debate over whether coffee and energy drinks are safe has been raging for years. Here are both sides of the story.
The dangers of drinking coffee
Whether coffee is safe or dangerous mostly depends on the quality of the coffee. It is true that drinking small amounts of coffee that is of high quality, fresh, and grown without pesticides (an incredible rarity!) has more benefits than dangers. Unfortunately, the coffee most of us buy in shops and cafes or in coffee machines have been shown to be relatively dangerous for the following reasons:
- Coffee contains a lot of caffeine, and caffeine has been proven to increase the blood pressure. This increase is especially noticeable in people who already have hypertension. However, even people who have normal blood pressure experience an increase after they drink several cups of coffee.
- Drinking a large quantity of unfiltered coffee, whether it is espresso or plain boiled coffee, can lead to an increase in the cholesterol level, which can be dangerous for the heart.
- The bodies of individuals who have slow metabolism cannot break down coffee easily and the result is an increased risk of heart disease.
- Very few people drink plain black coffee. Most consume it with large amounts of sugar and cream which contain a lot of calories and fat.
Besides being dangerous for the heart, coffee may also have some other negative effects on the body. Here are just a few of them:
- Drinking coffee in the morning on an empty stomach forces the body to produce hydrochloric acid, making it more difficult for the body to produce the acid when it is crucially needed. This damages protein digestion and can lead to gas, bloating, diverticulitis, IBS, and colon cancer.
- Coffee can often cause heartburn. Coffee relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter muscle and prevents it from closing so as to not allow the contents of the stomach to coming up into the esophagus and burning the lining.
- Coffee has an acidic effect which can initiate the formation of ulcers. The acidity can even irritate the lining of the small intestine and cause cramps, abdominal spasms, and elimination problems.
The benefits of drinking coffee
Some people claim coffee has many benefits and that it does not pose a health danger. In fact, most of the recent studies found no real relationship between coffee and heart disease. These studies showed that many of the dangers usually associated with coffee are really the result of other bad habits that often go hand in hand with coffee. These include smoking, chronic sleep deprivation, and the lack of physical exercise. Many people who drink coffee and lead a healthy lifestyle do not suffer from heart disease or other conditions associated with coffee. In fact, coffee contains quite a few nutrients and antioxidants which are beneficial to a person's health. Here are some of the benefits coffee has been shown to have:
- It may be able to protect against liver disease, liver cancer, and Parkinson's disease.
- It increases a person's energy level, helps them be more productive, and improves brain function.
- It decreases one's chances of getting Type 2 Diabetes. It was shown that people who drink a lot of coffee have a 23-50% lower chance of getting Type 2 diabetes.
- It increases fat burn. In fact, practically every fat burning supplement contains caffeine. Caffeine is the natural substance that increases the metabolic rate by 3-11% and boosts fat burn by as much as 29% in thin people and 10% in fat people.
- The caffeine in coffee causes fat cells to break down the fat and make free fatty acids available as fuel. More fuel means that people who drink coffee feel an improvement in their physical performance.
- It can sometimes improve the cognitive function.
- It is sometimes effective in preventing depression.
- It contains many beneficial nutrients, such as Manganese, Magnesium, Potassium, Niacin (B3), pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.
- It may protect against Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. Coffee drinkers have a 65% less chance of getting Alzheimer's.
What about other energy drinks?
Although coffee can be considered an energy drink because of its energy-giving properties, it should not be included in the same group as the modern energy drinks. Although these energy drinks often have caffeine, they lack many of the other healthy nutrients present in coffee. When the drinks are consumed in small amounts, the danger is relatively low. Unfortunately, these energy drinks usually contain a lot of sugars and flavors, making them easy to drink, and cause people to drink these drinks in large quantities. Drinking a small amount of energy drink is fine, but consuming several cans can cause severe health problems. Here are just a few of them:
- Cardiac arrest - The quantity of energy drinks that one can safely consume is different for every person. Individuals who have a heart condition may go into cardiac arrest after drinking just a few energy drinks.
- Type 2 diabetes - Energy drinks contain a large amount of sugar, which increases one's chance of getting Type 2 diabetes. These types of drinks often cause headaches, migraines, and caffeine withdrawal symptoms.
- Addiction - Caffeine is addictive. When people change the amount of caffeine they consume, headaches and migraines increase.
- Insomnia - Energy drinks often cause insomnia, and lead to decreased concentration and impaired function.
- Vomiting - Too many energy drinks can cause vomiting, which in turn can cause dehydration, teeth erosion and inflammation of the esophagus.
There are many different studies. Some show that coffee is dangerous for one's health, and others show that it is beneficial. This means that the answer is not black and white. Coffee can be healthy and beneficial, but only if it is of high quality, fresh, and grown without the use of pesticides. Another crucial factor is the amount of coffee consumed. Drinking a moderate amount of coffee is healthy, but too much coffee can cause many health problems. The same goes for energy drinks – they can be consumed only in small amounts! So the key is to drink quality drinks and watch the amount you consume.

All natural cosmetics, makeups, eye shadows, mascaras, foundations, and other beauty items are wonderful to your body and the environment. Not only will be the physical but online market also flourishing using a plethora of selections for different kinds of skincare products. At that age, it was a little more about feeling just like a grown up than anything else. If you're running behind every new cosmetic inside the market, you have to wait and re-think. Buy Organic Beauty Products: Compare New Economical ChoicesOrganic natual skin care is absolutely your best option for the skin.
So, after you've slathered those chemicals on your own skin, 60% of these are absorbed in to the blood system. Massage to your skin, rinse then pat dry. Try to spray some on a discreet area first to test for possible discoloration.
These aren't the only real native wildflowers of Lithuania that you see growing within the beautiful landscape. Because many organic certifications require that a lot of if not all ingredients are organic, it is quite difficult and expensive.

However, there have been some general warnings issued about excessive use of chemical foot sprays. The United States Of America Department of Agriculture (USDA) is certainly one of the groups known most for organic certification and provides their particular stamp or sticker so consumers will find those products easily. Acai is extremely good for that skin. For that matter, wear as little makeup as possible. Sunlight ages you before your time.
Thomas Bombeli, MD, a part of the International Society of Dermatology, said, "A drop of an extract inside a two-ounce method is most likely not enough. As more folks are becoming aware of their benefits and they are finding products which they like a minimum of around their former skin care products, the marketplace is changing to supply more organic healthier choices of skin care. This has forced cosmetic packaging manufacturers to come on top of different packaging solutions for organic cosmetics. You can have fresher, healthier, younger skin, should you use organic exfoliating products. However, it is still important to wash feet, trim nails and moisturize skin in that area regularly to ensure healthy feet.

I described in my previous post that the rich tend to get richer while the poor find it very hard to amass any serious amount of wealth. I mentioned several of the processes that are likely to drive this tendency.
Sometimes things that appear to be common sense don't turn out to be true once they have been properly studied: the sun doesn't go round the earth but the earth rotates as it goes around the sun.
However, an economist, Thomas Piketty, appears to have gone to great pains (600 pages!) to provide the evidence for the trends I mentioned in my last post. The fruits of this work is the book Capital in the twentieth century, and his explanations of it and the reviews I have read make me want to read it.
I tend to agree with Piketty's conclusion that this tendency towards concentration of wealth, along with any other fact about capitalism, does not create the need to have a total revolution. Such anti-capitalist conclusions are clearly too hasty; you would need something better to replace capitalism with. But it does remind us of the need for constant efforts at redistribution to check the undesirable tendencies of free markets.
This provides a further argument against libertarianism. Libertarians support free-market outcomes for at least one of several reasons, but as well as attacking those (wrong-headed) reasons we can also point out that their proposals will have poor consequences. Hugely unequal societies in which a larger and larger share of resources are held by a smaller and smaller minority is not many people's idea of a utopia (bizzarro's such as Ayn Rand excepted).
Furthermore, if such a (dis?)utopia came about it may even be worse for those who are very well off, if Wilkinson and Pickett are to be believed. These authors show that more unequal societies are less successful and happy than more equal societies.
My tax proposals are aimed to providing the most redistribution possible commensurate with good economic performance. This is done by taxing those who get unearned income at much higher rates while encouraging economically useful activities, transfers and exchanges.

Why the rich get richer, and what this means for the tax system
There have been lots of articles in the papers over the past week resulting from the recent Oxfam report into the richest poorest members of society. It seems that the richest five families in the UK have as much wealth as the poorest 20% put together. That is five families against nearly 13 million people. This is unsurprising in that the richest are the richest and have a hell of a lot while the poorest are the poorest and have little or nothing.
However, the scale of the difference does not indicate that some people are saving while others are spending. Richard Seymour's piece highlights how this difference is largely a result of the adage that "money follows money," "money begets money" or "money makes money." These can be understood to mean that people who have money find it easy to make more money, or alternatively that the children of the rich end up rich themselves. Both of these are usually true unless there is a highly redistributive or economically restrictive regime.
There are obvious reasons why the rich can easily get richer while the poor will find it very difficult to get richer. The wealthy can give their spare money to financial institutions, or just sit on their property and watch it increase in value. The poor have to use most if not all their resources on the basic costs of living, leaving little left over for investment. Wealthier people, by contrast have the same amount of time available to them to work and earn in that way, while earning money on invested capital. Meanwhile, any money they earn can be invested rather than used for necessaries. Furthermore, poorer people may need to take jobs with few prospects as they need money quickly while richer people can take a longer view and more easily develop a career.
Of course, you may get rich people who are very bad with their money and blow it all. Occasionally someone from a less wealthy background will build a business or obtain a very highly paid career. But these are anomalies, and the processes described above will tend to lead to greater and greater concentration of wealth over time unless checked. Which leads on (did you guess?) to taxation.
If we are looking at what to tax, there are very clear arguments to tax the returns to capital in preference to taxes on the income and consumption of the less-well-off. Certainly revenues above the change in the value of money should be taxed on a progressive basis. This is not punitive—people should be able to invest and earn something from this after tax. The punitive approach would discourage investment and that would be very bad for the economy. But it still makes sense to be taxing returns to capital at high rates in order to reduce taxes on those with low incomes.
Unfortunately things seem to be going in the opposite direction in many ways, as I will discuss in my following blog.

Good and bad habits. Do your characters have them?
I'm not doing a book review today, since I didn't have time to read this past week. So, I thought I'd talk a little about habits. Yes, habits. We all have them, good or bad.
For example. My mom always twists one strand of hair when she's bored. She does it while driving all the time, and I don't remember a time when she didn't do it. It's just something she does, and I'm sure she'll always do it.
My son has a habit of playing with his ears. He'll twist them and pull on them. He tells me they are cold, and it drives me crazy because he does it all the time! I have him wear a hat at home so he doesn't do it so often. His teacher probably thinks he has horrible ear infections or something. Oh well.
Now for an annoying habit of mine. I have a habit of putting my hands by my neck when I'm nervous. Usually when I'm sitting down and someone is staring at me across the table.
I also separate my M&M's into colors and have to eat them in a certain order. I have to have the same amount of each, so I make sure to eat the extras before I put them into individual piles, and I never ever just eat a handful. It's something I've always done, and even though my hubby thinks I'm insane, I still do it.
Anyway, do your MC's have certain habits that they always seem to be doing? We've all read about the characters who chew on their bottom lip, or bit their lip/tongue so hard it bleeds. I'm talking about something unique. Something that is part of your character and makes them genuine and real. One of my characters likes to put salt on everything, even before she tastes her food. Another one picks at his fingernails when he's bored.
I think it's important to have your characters be as real as possible. They have faults, they have annoying habits and their own quirks. They are their own person, and it's nice to read about someone who seems as real as we are. :)
What is an annoying habit you have? Is it something that you do that drives you crazy or something you accept because it's who you are?

annoying habits? me? no way! lol I'm an open mouth insert foot person. I have certain ways I like things cut in the kitchen,too.
I like to put little quirks in my characters. Subtle things that make them real and relatable, but try to stay away from the "been there done that" stuff.

I do the same thing with m&ms! Or any kind of colored candy. My most annoying habit is that I finish peoples sentences. I hate when others do it so I'm constantly stopping myself. And it is hard to find those habits and quirks that haven't been done before. I love your salty girl. That's a good one:)

I do the exact same thing with my M&Ms. I do that with Skittles, Starbursts and Sweetarts too. ...Basically any candy that has multiple flavors/colors.
Unique quirks definitely make a character interesting! My only problem is creating one in a character that wants to be "perfect" haha. They'll come soon enough though!

I have no annoying habits..all my habits are endearing... LOL! I also separate the M&Ms and eat them in order.

I do the same thing with my M&M's...and my skittles, and my taffy, and really any kind of treat that has different color. When it gets down to one of each, I save the best color or flavor for last.
Some of my character's have habits, but they could probably use more. In the book, "Save the Cat," he refers to it as a limp and an eyepatch. It's good to have something that distinguishes each character. So when the reader reads the name, they think, "Oh, the guy with the limp and the eyepatch."
It's a great book. And this is a great topic. Thanks for the post! I'm glad you're back and that you had a safe trip.

@R.S.J.Yay! I'm glad someone else does the same thing with their M&M's! I finish peoples sentences too sometimes... I try not to, but sometimes it just comes out! ;)
@Diana I don't have annoying habits either! LOL ;)
@Devin Bond Ha ha! I love it! I definitely do it with skittles and starbursts too! I have to save the best color for last!
@Lynda R Young LOL! Yay! Another M&M sorter!! :D
@Michelle Merrill I save the best color or flavor for last too!! I really need to read Save the Cat. Seriously. I've heard it's so great. I'm so glad to be back too!
@AllMyPosts Catchy phrases? Such an interesting quirk! That is so awesome! :D

Great post, Chantele. My hair is naturally curly but I get it chemically straightened. The result is straight, very unhealthy hair. I have a habit of picking at my split ends. When I write I have to tie my hair completely back or I just sit there picking at my hair.

@Katie DodgeYay for M&M's!! :D
@Carol Riggs I sometimes forget to give my characters little quirks, but then I seem to put them in anyway and notice them later! LOL
@Candice I'm really curious about your book Candice! It sounds so good!
@Sari Webb I used to pick at my split ends when I had long hair. Now I forget about it since my hair is short! ;)

- Jordan McCollum said...
I pick at split ends, too!
One of my characters rubs her fingers on her desk (I envision this almost like she's giving the desktop a deep massage, LOL.) I discovered this habit in the character's mother and thought it'd be fun to have her pick it up, too.
In Brandilyn Collins's book on Getting into Character, she has an exercise on finding a unique gesture for your characters.
Oh, wait... this is another of my bad habits. Reading blogs when I should be editing!

I have to sit on the right side of the car and sleep on the right side of the bed otherwise I feel out of place. Also, I am continuously rubbing paper when I read. I will also do it if I have a book sitting in front of me while I'm on the computer.

Your son is not the only one that plays with his ears. Ive been playing with my ears all of my life and I'm 40. Its a hard to break habit. I fold them, twist, pull them, and more. I also love it when others allow me to play with their ears. They feel better when their cold. I try not to do it in front of others but i get away with doing it discreetly. This is not a common habit, but it is a form of a pacifier like sucking of the thumb. The conscious effort to stop can help slow the habit down, but sometimes when im dealing with tough life challenges, i find myself slipping back into it regularly.

Faces of Public Transportation
Public Transportation in Helsinki was about to reach the mark of one million riders. We, together with Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL) invited the Finnish photographer Lauri Eriksson to combine a brand advertising campaign, a community event and a cultural project by shooting an exhibition with the title 'Faces of Public Transportation'. The campaign was widely quoted in the press and even made the evening news. Everyone photographed will be invited to the opening of the physical exhibition later in Janury 2014. Watch MTV3 newsreport about the campaign.

Sustaining Peace through Urban Safety: Charting Key Lessons for the UN High-Level ForumNetworking Events
Room 406
Lead organization:
- Geneva Peacebuilding Platform
- Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding (CCDP) of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF)
Finding better responses to a changing landscape of conflict and violence is becoming an increasing priority in international security, development, and peacebuilding circles. Yet architects, urban planners, and city authorities are only slowly starting to be part of this conversation. Not least, this is because peacebuilding efforts have traditionally been associated with inter-state or civil wars; and this despite a growing convergence among experts that most violent conflicts no longer fit these categories. While wars in Syria, Iraq or Yemen make the headlines, the great majority of violent deaths occur in urban 'non-conflict' settings, with Central America, Southern Africa, the Caribbean, and South America being the worst-affected regions. There, many city policies have emphasized repressive approaches where state authorities crush crime through 'law-and-order' initiatives or a 'war on drugs'. These approaches, however, have largely proven to be ineffective in terms of violence and crime reduction, and in sustaining peace. This networking event builds on over three years of work on the confluence of urban safety and peacebuilding practice in contribution to the High-Level Forum on Sustaining Peace convened by the President of the UN General Assembly in April 2018. The event also launches the second cycle of exchanges of the Technical Working Group on the Confluence of Urban Safety and Peacebuilding Practice convened by the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform – in view of supporting the implementation of the Secretary General's Report on Conflict Prevention and the UN's sustaining peace agenda. Both agendas are critical components of UN reform, and of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and New Urban Agenda (NUA).

When the European Monetary Union was formed, the countries hoped to avoid a Greece situation by putting hard caps on public debt.
Greece got around this by engaging in swaps with Goldman Sachs that helped disguise its true debt levels.
Earlier we noted how Italy may have been obfuscating its debt as well.
But the real story, it seems is that EVERYONE is doing this. The below document (via alea) explains how France got busted for this as well back in 2007.
And the lesson is that banks aren't the only players that engage in regulatory arbitrage. Any institution — public, private, for-profit or otherwise — will seek to cut corners and come up with ways to disguise an aggressive or risky financial system.

The 23-year-old right-back left Preston, where he was managed by current Rams boss Billy Davies, for West Ham in a £1m deal last summer.
But he has made just three Premiership starts, plus two substitute appearances after moving to Upton Park.
"He is a very attacking full-back with excellent pace who adds great competition," said boss Davies.
"Ideally we would like to make this deal permanent in the summer."

Former Bernville chief is ruled competent for trial
Reading Eagle
By Mary E. Young
[Excerpts] A Northumberland County judge Thursday found that a former Bernville police chief is mentally competent to stand trial for the murder of his estranged wife. Judge Robert B. Sacavage entered the order after two court-appointed experts testified that Richard C. Curran suffers from psychosis and delusions but is able to understand the charges against him and participate in his defense. Curran, 33, of Mount Carmel, Northumberland County, is being held without bail in that county's prison for the Aug. 24, 2004, shooting death of his wife, Tina, outside Shamokin Area Community Hospital in Coal Township. She worked there as a practical nurse. Curran is charged with first-degree murder and related offenses. Police said he shot his wife seven times with his police-issued .40-caliber pistol as the couple argued over child support for their two daughters, then ages 4 and 8...

Mill Valley, Calif.
"IT sounds very Californian, but this home found us," said Kim Todd, explaining why she and her husband, Andrew, left a 5,000-square-foot house with a pool and a large landscaped garden in Marin County for a home one-fifth the size, with a single bedroom and a wealth of deferred maintenance.
The couple, who run diPietro Todd, a chain of hair salons in the San Francisco Bay Area, first saw the crescent-shaped house nestled in a canyon of redwood trees here about four years ago, and almost immediately made the decision to move.
"We fell in love as soon as we saw the house and its surroundings," Ms. Todd, 55, said. "Our work life is so public. It's really quiet here, and the owls fly by at night."
She and Mr. Todd, 49, had two children who were nearly grown — Luke is now 17, and Sophie is 21 — and they knew they were approaching the time when they would have to think about downsizing, since they were "soon going to be empty nesters," she said.
But the architecture was a big part of the appeal. The house was built in 1958 by Daniel J. Liebermann, an architect who had apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright, and he was just 28 when he designed it for himself and his wife. Like most of Mr. Liebermann's homes, it is constructed on a radial frame, with curving exterior walls.
John Lovell, a friend of Mr. Todd's who is a designer and had studied Mr. Liebermann's work, showed him the listing when the house came on the market and urged him to take a look. Mr. Todd then passed the listing along to another friend, Wanda Liebermann, an architect who had helped design several of his salons, without realizing she was Mr. Liebermann's daughter. "That's the house I grew up in," she told him.
Mr. Liebermann had sold the house in 1966, but he was living nearby — and still practicing architecture at 80 — and both he and Ms. Liebermann advised the Todds during the early stages of the renovation. Vivian Dwyer, a designer based in San Francisco, oversaw the project and did the design work.
But Mr. Todd also spent many hours alone on the property, ruminating about how to proceed. "I would stare at every angle and reconfigure the space in my mind," he said of the house, which they bought in 2006 for $1,125,000. "In the end, it was clear the original design was best. We chose to edit and make the home more luxurious."
That meant leaving the interior layout basically as it was, with one important exception: the three cramped bedrooms and two bathrooms in the sleeping area were replaced with a single master bedroom and bathroom, and a walk-in closet handcrafted in wood by a boat builder. (The couple's son sleeps in an adjacent guest house; their daughter had already left home by the time they moved in a year ago.)
It also meant upgrading the house's 19 skylights, putting in a new kitchen and refurbishing the radiant heating system. New lighting was installed throughout the house; the wood rafters and the ceiling were wire-brushed and waxed; the concrete floors were restained and polished; and the exposed brick walls were coated with plaster to create a more modern look.
Not surprisingly, the remodeling budget spiraled. "We started with the idea of spending $350 a square foot," Mr. Todd said. "We ended up spending at least 25 percent more than that — at some point I stopped counting. I just knew we had only one chance to do it right."
Living in a 1,100-square-foot house has had its challenges. The couple had to get rid of many of their possessions, including most of Mr. Todd's collection of midcentury modern furniture. "I had to put so much in storage," he said. "I brought my Mies van der Rohe daybed here, and it was too big, too square."
Ms. Todd, however, is content to be a minimalist. "This home represents the next chapter for us as a couple," she said. "It's our rite of passage."

Hi David
Without history we have nothing the History of the startup of the BPSCA and recognition was brave for all involved 15 plus years ago we were pioneers.
Just been reading up one of my books where it is mentioned that George Grayson and a few others were the inspiration of the BPSCA I was responsible for setting up the forum and managing it with George for all those both presently and in the past in any kind of working dog, police, military, prison security, rescue, drugs and explosive work. I administered on a day to day basis for many hours into the morning because of USA time difference where times were different years ago between us we introduced the BPSCA to the world of ex-service men. The 10 Testimonials in my book tonight brought tears to my eyes to think what we achieved in the early day with a good caliber of men. On several occasions I was invited to the RAF dog unit in Gibraltar and made many new friends there it was my highlight of the trip to see our magazines in all reception areas and to be told that lads loved reading and often contributed articles.
So there you are and from small acorns I am delighted to meet you and Sue and would be delighted one day to receive a copy of the mag I still write for and the only one of 8 magazines that do not send me a copy! Whatever I will continue to help with articles as I know how hard it is for you editors.
You have my book at the back Acknowledgements and Profiles 310 and Testimonials 323
Good my friend
Be safe and God Bless

"I dreamt of a rainbow built with the colours of men, tribes, cultures. The rainbow of a rare, diverse, precious, essential, yet fragile human nature. This Memory of colours, old as the wind, the sun and rain is a slow process. It is a story in progress that needs to be listened to, seen, protected and helped." -Jaime Ocampo-RangelAnd this, in a nutshell, is what Jaime Ocampo-Rangle's Memory of Colors is all about.
It's a terrific and phenomenal magnum opus from a Colombian photographer who sought to document the last authentic tribes, people and ethnic groups of the world that are threatened by globalisation. Jaime chose to complete the project by sailing around the world.
Forty ethnic groups have already been documented and another hundred identified, and those hundred will be visited, filmed and photographed to fulfill the ultimate goal of the project, which is to represent the real landscape of our multi-cultural earth.
Memory of Colors may keep you glued to your computer's monitor for a while, so if you have urgent stuff to do, you may want to watch the 5 minute trailer of the project, do the stuff you have to take care of, return and explore the website more fully at your leisure. If you're interested in travel photography, anthropology and ethnography, it's really worth it.
