Financial Compound and its staff have closed over $2.4 Billion in transactions running the gamut from low leverage first mortgages on trophy assets, to structured debt and equity placements for properties in of renovation, to construction and unentitled land financing.
For example, we assembled a 100%-of-all-in-cost financing package (including land, hard and soft improvement costs, interest reserve, and closing costs) for the developer of a shipping center with minimal pre-leasing. The transaction was crafted so that the developer kept all the upside after a 7.5% IRR to the financial partner.
Commercial Brokerage Philosophy
As your commercial mortgage broker, we will obtain preliminary financing terms for a transaction and then evaluate the options in light of the client's objectives, and makes a recommendation. Financial Compound will always provide an 'apples-to-apples' comparison of each financing proposal by quantifying financing terms such as amortization methods, promote and waterfall structures, escrows, holdbacks, lender fees, defeasance and other prepayment penalties, etc. As your commercial mortgage broker, Financial Compound's work ethic, attention to detail, and passion for the business- characterized by customer service, minimizes the client's involvement with processing and paperwork and has helped us enjoy a strong client retention ratio.
Our Commercial Mortgage Broker Practices
• Sharing transaction pricing and structuring information in an organized and cooperative way to help keep our staff abreast of capital provider preferences, new financial products, and "hot money",
• Utilizing state of the art computer infrastructure and information management systems to organize and work with transaction records efficiently; as well as to safeguard client confidential data
• Utilizing and enhancing numerous proprietary templates we created in Excel (i) that model abstruse financial and mathematical concepts in a simple and understandable way, and (ii) are used for transaction processing efficiency.
• One of our staff members wrote a book entitled "Real Estate JV Equity Modeling in Excel."
• Weekly brainstorming sessions for a few minutes at each staff meeting regarding transaction processing and efficiency, and (6) reading and discussion of trade magazines and finance journals.
Financial Compound's Brokers Solve Problems
The Financial Compound logo is pronounced, "aleph to the root of pi". The Financial Compound logo is pronounced, "aleph to the root of pi". Our logo challenges us to pursue creative and innovative solutions to real estate finance problems which is the basis of our brokerage business. Aleph is a math symbol used to express the cardinality, or size, of infinite sets as pioneered by Georg Cantor, a prolific mathematician in the late 1800s. The cardinality of a set of 3 people at a dinner table is 3, and the cardinality of the set of 100 people at a movie theater is 100. Cantor discovered that infinite sets can have different cardinalities.
Pi is an irrational number. It's the relationship between the area and radius of a circle, equal to approximately 3.14159…. with digits continuing forever and never repeating a pattern. One cannot point to pi on the number line. We can point to a rational number very close to pi, such as 3.1416, but we can never pinpoint pi or any other irrational number.
One of Cantor's set theory conclusions is that there must be an infinitely greater amount of irrational numbers compared to rational ones, as there is always an infinite amount of space for numbers between any two points on a number line, no matter how close together they are. Yet mathematicians have only discovered limited amounts of irrational numbers to-date. Some mathematicians have driven themselves crazy searching for the next irrational number. So let us not get carried away thinking about it for too long.
Math and Real Estate Capital Markets
So what is the pieth root of aleph and how does it benefit those who need a commercial mortgage? Well, Financial Compound understands that it's approximately the cubed root of aleph, which is equal to about aleph. And this helps our clients due to the fact that Financial Compound uses intricate conceptual ideas in order to stay abreast and a step ahead of the capital providers' preferences by understanding all of the mathematical aspects of the real estate capital markets, sometimes using a different notation such as aleph and pi. Bottom Line: Our pursuit of this knowledge directly benefits our clients in the form of lower financing costs and cutting edge transaction structures.

The overall calm, positive performance of financial markets in 2014 took a hit on July 31st when stocks declined 2-3% and fixed income and alternatives lost about 1%. Markets have been about flat since then, yet talk about a stock market correction of 10% or more has escalated.
There's lots of reasons why some believe a correction could happen:
- Valuations of stocks are high. The current P/E ratio of the S&P 500 is 15.7- higher than the 10-year average of 14.1
- Improving U.S. economic conditions have brought concerns about the Fed raising rates quicker than many investors anticipated
- Europe's prolonged economic slump is making deflation a concern
- Economic sanctions against Russia could negatively impact consumer demand in many countries
- Geopolitical unrest in Iraq, Gaza, Syria, Ukraine, etc. could explode
Yet, at the same time, there are many reasons why some believe the bull market should continue:
- The U.S. economy is the best in years: new jobs are up, unemployment is at 6.1%, job openings are at a seven-year high, housing is up again after a slow start in 2014, car sales are at post-crisis high, and consumer sentiment is up
- There has been a huge recovery in American corporate revenue and profits since the 2008-2009 crisis. Yes, lower borrowing costs helped. Second quarter earnings, with nearly 90% of S&P 500 companies having reported, are on track to grow 8.4% this year
- For a variety of reasons, companies are continuing to buy back large quantities of stock
- Market peaks have occurred historically when P/E ratios are 25 times earnings or more
- Geopolitical worries have boosted the allure of "safe" bonds. With U.S. 10-yr bonds at 2.4% and German 10-yr bonds at 1%, stocks continue to be very attractive
Overall, it has been suggested that we are in a "Goldilocks" economy. One that is "not too hot, not too cold." Stimulative policies, created by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and now Janet Yellen have created a great environment for stock growth. However, when investors get nervous about the Fed's ability to keep the "temperature just right" we have seen big swings. May and June 2013 saw 5-6% drops when the Fed first started talking about "tapering" the QE program. Now, with the economy doing better and inflation nearing 2% targets, investors are concerned that the Fed will start to raise interest rates and change our "just right" conditions. That's a huge challenge for the Fed. A perceived major misstep or miscommunication by the Fed could again shake the markets.
Yes, at some point we will have a correction in the stock market. History tells us they come along regularly (27 corrections of 10% or more since 1945). Yet, a priori, the reasons were enigmatic. Hence, trying to time the start and finish of such events is useless.
We have a saying at DWM: "There are many variables you cannot control. Long-term success, on the other hand, relies on managing the variables you can control, including reviewing your risk profile and asset allocation, reducing expenses, diversifying portfolios, minimizing taxes, and staying invested."

Baking bread is one of the simplest tasks in home baking. The recipe is easy and fool proof. The product tastes great and the best part is that the bread can be baked into any shape. Just let your imagination run wild.
Makes 12 roles
3 cups all purpose flour + more for dusting
2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm milk
Prove the yeast by mixing yeast with sugar and water and letting it stand for 5 mins. When the yeast starts frothing slightly, add the salt and the flour. Slowly add milk till the dough starts coming together.
Flour the chopping board surface and knead the the dough with the ball of your hand till it is smooth. Keep aside a few tablespoons of milk.
Let the dough rest in a bowl covered with cling film till it is doubled in size. This will take about 2 hours. Make a cut in the shape of a cross on the dough. This will help it rise better.
Punch the dough and knead it again. Dust the surface with flour if required.
Roll the dough into a rough rectangle and make 12 cuts. Knead each piece like you are tucking in the sides. This will give a nice smooth ball.
Place the dough balls close to each other on a greased baking tray and let them rest for about 1 hour till they are doubled in size.
Wash the dough balls with half the leftover milk.
Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 mins at 180C for 30 mins. Wash the dough balls again with the leftover milk and turn the tray around for even baking. The double wash will give a better gloss and colour to the bread.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

The process of making English muffins is very simple normally: mixing up the dough just as that of a basic bread dough, letting it rise, then dividing and shaping the dough into balls, and letting them rise. Once they have doubled in size, the art of making unfolds. Traditional English muffins are actually baked on the stovetop or griddle on both sides, and then they are moved to the oven to finish baking. Total baking time is less than 25 minutes – easy -peasy! Well… I have sprinkled some fairy dust on the process – magically (and literally) twisted!
I have flattened the dough pieces with a rolling-pin, brushed HP sauce on their surface, cut up and mixed elements of English Breakfast (tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, sausages, egg, baked beans) to scatter on the discs, rolled them up and twisted them into muffin tins. Just like that…
As a gentle reminder the ingredients are:
195 ml milk
30 ml water
2 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp sugar
About 50 g HP sauce, depending on the individual taste (when more added it might need some additional flour)
1 tsp salt
350g plain flour
50 g kamut flour
50 whole wheat flour
30g lard
30 g butter

Fred Cheng (鄭俊弘) released his second album, When A Dog Loves a Cat <當狗愛上貓> last month.Spending over a year of preparing, Fred ensured that everything pertaining to the new album was perfect to the last detail. Because red is his lucky color, the singer decided to package the album cover with a sharp red theme.
To help create buzz for his new album, Fred organized a war game to promote the lead single, "Exploding Fire" <炮火>. Extremely pleased with his newest release, Fred could not contain his excitement and expressed, "The album was printed in Australia so in terms of sound – it should be very good. The red packaging coincides with the Lunar New Year so it would make a perfect holiday gift."
New Drama with Gallen Lo After New Year
Since Fred has spent the last year preparing his new album, he will spend a few days after the Lunar New Years to rest before taking part in new series, The Conspirators <與諜同謀> with Gallen Lo (羅嘉良).
Working with Gallen for the first time, Fred expressed his eagerness to learn from the superstar. "The series involves conspirators in the business world. Would I be playing the villain? I hope not. I look forward to working with Gallen – I'm willing to learn, so there will be no pressure."

The audience was not a roomful of geeks at VSLive, not a consumer-facing keynote crowd at CES, not even a developer conference like this weeks TechEd. Instead, it was bridge partner Warren Buffet and other captains of industry at Microsofts CEO Summit 2004.
In seven succinct paragraphs, Gates laid out the roots of RSS—not in the business community, but in the "corporate or technical enthusiast space."
How blogging and RSS notification sits somewhere between e-mail and the Web while correcting the drawbacks of both: complex cc:ing of collaborative information and repeatedly polling of Web sites for new additions.
Bill has mentioned blogging in previous speeches and has increasingly focused on the intersection of blogging, RSS and Office in internal meetings.
But in signaling his interest in the technology, as he previously did with mesh networking in off-the-record conversations and at last years Wall Street Journal conference (ironically made public by a blog post), Gates was talking as much to his product teams as to anybody.
Much has been made of Microsofts rank-and-file support for blogging/RSS—some 700 sites at last count. But so far, theres no counterpart in Redmond to Tim Bray, whose Sun Microsystems job is strategically targeted on the space.
Googles Gmail and Orkut projects may be converging via RSS, but no single brain (except perhaps Sergey Brins) is focused there yet.
Much too much has also been made of Microsofts vulnerability to the RSS revolution. The rap: If too much micro-content flows outside the Windows (and Office) file formats and services, the fabled lock-in will be broken. Its what Ive called the Allchin Tax, where all innovation is measured by the degree to which it reduces switching costs from Windows.

State and Local Prevalence of Firearms Ownership: Measurement, Structure, and Trends
Deborah Azrael, Philip J. Cook, Matthew Miller
NBER Working Paper No. 8570
Of the readily computed proxies for the prevalence of gun ownership, one, the percentage of suicides committed with a gun, performs consistently better than the others in cross-section comparisons. It is readily computed for states and counties and has a high degree of validity when tested against survey-based estimates. It also appears valid as a proxy for changes over time in gun prevalence, at least at the regional level. Our analysis of this proxy measure for the period 1979-1997 demonstrates that the geographic structure of gun ownership has been highly stable. That structure is closely linked to rural tradition. There is, however, some tendency toward homogenization over this period, with high-prevalence states trending down and low-prevalence states trending up.

Leno's Oprah Interview: What Jay's Body Language Reveals.
Actions always speak louder than words. Which is why we asked the experts to take apart Jay Leno's Oprah sit-down with a fine tooth comb to find out what is really going on behind the chin. Yes, maybe we have seen too much Leno over the past month, but his interview with Oprah seemed different since something about Ms. O makes people tell the truth (much to their chagrin) and show off some raw emotions. We were not disappointed. But because Jay is such a consummate performer, questions remain. Was he earnest? Uncomfortable? Cocky? Why did he keep crossing and uncrossing his legs? See what our experts have to say after the jump.
Jay walked onto the Burbank set with his hands in his pockets, which according to body language expert Patti Wood, is a signal that you are preparing to hide your emotional state. When he sat opposite Oprah (the interviewee seat is an uncomfortable place for Jay) he did an "arm-leg lock", which is a male leg cross with a hand wrapped around the leg.
That leg lock is a fascinating signal of protection," explained body language expert Patti Wood. "It was saying I am powerful but I feel the need to protect myself. He isn't use to being in the left-hand chair."
Which is totally fair since Oprah came out guns slinging. Instead of her typical celebrity soft-ball questions where everyone feels happy and at ease until she throws in a little zinger before returning to happy Oprah-land, O went at Jay with everything she had.
"Jay started gripping the arms of his chair early on in between folding them over his legs. He didn't like her taking him to that dark emotional place," Wood said. "And when Oprah asked whether the experience has changed him, his non-verbal response was to take his right hand and scratch down his cheek in sign of self-beating, demonstrating just how injured he feels."
Some of the strongest non-verbal cues that Jay was giving off came at the beginning of the interview when he told Oprah that leaving 'The Tonight Show"the first time around broke his heart. He meant it!!!
"Jay flashed what was known as a micro-expression; a facial expression that is very fleeting, but that reveals the emotion being felt at that moment. These are very hard to conceal. This micro-expression was one of sincere sadness. With this expression, the inner corners of the eyebrows are pulled up and in simultaneously, with the corners of the mouth being pulled down. "If you watch closely, you can also see that his eyes became 'misty' momentarily," said body language expert Vincent Harris, author of 'The Productivity Epiphany."
When talking about Jimmy Kimmel mocking him on his own show, Jay said "I got sucker punched." Oprah naturally pushed and asked him how he felt about said sucker-punch.
"He extended both hands and arms as though he was pushing something away. This was indicative of being very uncomfortable with Kimmel's comments from before and wanting Oprah to move on with her questioning," Harris said.
When Oprah asked Jay if he had any hard feelings towards Conan he may have tried to sound upbeat and positive, but his body language betrayed him.
"His response was that he had no hard feelings at all. But as soon as he said that he moved an arm across his body to protect himself and rubbed his ear which is an indication of insincerity," Wood said. "It really stood out because I believe he was being honest and straightforward throughout most of the piece, but not here."

In this keynote, Lexcycle's Chief Operating Officer Neelan Choksi will share the lessons learned from delivering the Stanza Reader iPhone Application to the market. Stanza is now the most popular eBook reader for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but there were real challenges along the way. The ebook value chain is often just as long the print one: with authors, agents, publishers, distributors, resellers, and readers all playing significant roles. Navigating and satisfying all of these constituents remains a challenge for Lexcycle and anyone working with ebooks. Traditional publishers struggle to reconcile a slumping physical book business with the often-elusive promise of ebooks. There is no single formula for success and, smart publishers have been aggressively experimenting. Choksi will discuss Lexcycles involvement with – and perspective on – many of those experiments.

Here's the first bunch. The top group you've seen before, Most of the new work has been on their masks and guns. Still not done, but probably a little stipple with some metallic and that should be it.
The guys on the bottom were mostly done save the work to bring their guns in line with everyone else. The big thing with these three is their shoulderplates. Unlike most of the cultist models, these guys have shoulder plates that have a rim, not unlike that of the space marines. This allowed me to nail down the color scheme the Templars of DOOooom will use. It was easy and painterly, so it will help me when I start work on the first of the 40+ Templars I have to paint within the next week or so.
Next up we have the leader and the heavy stubber, still in the works. A stipple of metal on the gun, flesh painting and such. Pretty happy with the leader's armored shoulder and arm plates. I'm REALLY happy with the way the rusty brown and the dark green play together. the Templars of DOOooom should look pretty friggin cool.
Then the rest. They have their basic washes. Still much more to do, but they aren't too far behind the rest. It won't be long before this bunch is done which will make a nice core group of 20 that I can use as cultists or as 2 squads of penal troops when I use my Traitor Guard.
Last, but not least, one of the biggest reasons these guys aren't basically done.... the newest member of Da Rednekk Clan. Lucy.
At her feet the shattered body of Harvey, the road killed Squirrel. Yes, she has a donut around her neck. This young lady lost her original owner and the family was going to put her down, mostly because they just didn't want her. The wife took her after seeing her picture. She has some allergies we are dealing with, but for a 4 year old dog she has absolutely NO bad habits and is generally wonderful and happy.... except for her itchies, which we'll get rid of with time. But, she's required a lot of my time since she's getting used to her new home. The cats aren't entirely pleased, but its gotten to "you stay there, I'll stay here and it'll be OK" so things are progressing. I did sneak out and do some fly fishing too, when I could have been painting. As long as I don't start tieing flies again... this blog is safe. Luckily (or regrettably, depending on how you look at it) there is no (stream)trout fishing to be done in Florida. Boy, I miss that.
Hopefully, the cultists will be mostly done in the next post. Definitely will concentrate on the fleshy areas next. Check back in a couple days.
Cheer's ya'll!

RMJM bosses Peter Morrison and Declan Thompson face a legal battle over £7.75 million which, it is claimed, was 'wrongfully appropriated' by the practice after a complex deal in Dubai
Edinburgh's Court of Session last month ruled that a case, brought by US-headquartered engineering firm Ted Jacob in an attempt to recover the money it believes it is owed, should be allowed to proceed.
Ted Jacob claims that RMJM 'appropriated for its own purpose' money that was owed to the US firm for works carried out in the United Arab Emirates.
According to the legal claim, Morrison and Thompson are personally liable to repay the money since they are directors of Cyprus-incorporated companies RMJM Middle East and RMJM Overseas, and because those companies were partners in Scottish partnership RMJM.
Morrison and Thompson disputed their potential liability on two grounds. However, the Court of Session last month threw out their appeals meaning they now face a further hearing to decide whether they owe the sums.
The dispute dates back to the 2011 purchase by Ted Jacob of RMJM's Dubai engineering business.
Because the buying party did not have the necessary licences to operate in Dubai, RMJM remained the contracting party on existing projects while Ted Jacob carried out certain works.
Ted Jacob claimed that RMJM collected 'substantial sums' from clients and failed to pass them on to the buying firm 'as required' by key agreements linked to the buyout.
It is alleged that RMJM 'made use of the amounts collected for its own purposes, and concealed its activities from the pursuer [Ted Jacob]'.
An earlier court hearing in Scotland on the case focused on the detail of the law in force in Dubai. The judge's opinion in that preliminary hearing was subsequently challenged on two grounds by Morrison and Thompson leading to last month's hearing.
First the pair – as directors of the Cypriot companies that were the partners of RMJM – disagreed that they should be personally liable for the payments regardless of the merits of the overall case. They argued that under UAE law they would not be seen as directors of RMJM.
Secondly they claimed that the earlier judge had wrongly interpreted UAE law when saying it applied to RMJM.
Those appeals were quashed in April by Lord President, Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young sitting in the Court of Session's Inner House First Division.
'The commercial judge was correct to hold that the fact that the defenders were directors of Cypriot companies which were in turn the partners of a Scottish partnership, RMJM, carrying on business in Dubai made no difference to the application of the principles of UAE law which made the defenders personally liable for the wrongs of RMJM,' said the opinion delivered by Lord Drummond Young.
On the second ground of appeal, Drummond Young dismissed the defenders' argument that certain parts of the 1984 UAE Companies Law should not apply to RMJM because it was a foreign entity.
'The problem with that approach is that it leaves the individuals in control of foreign entities, whether as directors or partners or, as in the present case, directors or partners, outside the system of control imposed by the Companies Law,' said the court opinion. 'If that were so, it would be relatively easy to avoid the system of control found in the law by making use of foreign entities. It is perhaps unnecessary to describe the adverse consequences that would result from such an interpretation. We have no hesitation in rejecting it.'
A hearing will now take place in the Court of Session's Commercial Court.
Ted Jacob, RMJM and the legal firms acting for both parties in the case have all been contacted for comment.

NORTH NEO – kitesurf kite
The 2012 Neo is a performance free-ride/wave kite that combines elements of the Evo, like smooth and predictable power development, with the simplicity of three struts into a stylish all-round package. The Neo's short, round shape and pivotal turning makes it the perfect tool for tight, compact kite-loops.
If you're after a new kite – you wouldn't go far wrong to order a North Neo , a truly fun kite with great durability.
Quality means a lot to North Kiteboarding. For this reason we have focused our efforts on the best quality management possible over the last few years. We expect lasting performance in a wide range of conditions from our kites. We expect to design kites that fulfill and surpass the wishes and demands of our customers. To ensure we can attain this goal, quality begins at the very first stages of kite manufacturing. We know that a product is always only as good as its weakest detail, which is the reason why all details in construction and production methods have been and continue to be analyzed and optimized over the years. We like to simply call this design and quality standard Progression Q. In this ongoing process, we continuously work on improvements, but the basic idea remains the same: By standardizing details in construction and design across our entire range it has become possible to optimize production processes and to use materials more efficiently. The result is products that are all automatically at the same level of quality at any given time. Both of our kite designers work together closely so that each kite model in our range automatically benefits from every new idea or experience. Pro Q represents durability, timeless performance, and the highest possible quality control standards.

Additional information
Norway was among the first countries to present a national strategy for entrepreneurship in education and training. In 2004, the Government believed it to be important to implement training in entrepreneurship throughout the country, adapted to local and regional challenges, using existing workplaces as learning contexts. The first strategic plan, "See the Opportunities and Make them Work – strategy for entrepreneurship in education and training" was launched in 2004 and revised in 2006. The target group was primarily those who are responsible for education at all levels from primary school to college/university. Various stakeholders, who support entrepreneurship in their sectors, could use this strategy plan as a comprehensive plan and overview of the work carried out on entrepreneurship in the educational system.
The plan was evaluated in 2008 and the results of the evaluation showed a major increase in the number of students involved in entrepreneurship education. The recommendations for further work with entrepreneurship in the educational system based on the evaluation were summarised in nine points. Based on feedback from the informants, and previous research and statistics, the following recommendations were put forward for the continued work with entrepreneurship in education:
A new action plan was launched in 2008 with a main focus on higher education. One of the conclusions in the evaluation of this plan is that due to such focus, it is not surprising that few measures are directed at lower and upper secondary education and that the plan therefor represented little change for this sector. This limited focus on measures directed at secondary education is in contrast to the recommendations based upon the evaluation of the previous action plan. The 2008-report pointed out the need for strengthening entrepreneurship competency with teachers and school administrators and embedding entrepreneurship with school owners.
The evaluation of the 2008 – 2014 plan provides a summary of the status of entrepreneurship training and the challenges in the years to come. One important part of the project was to evaluate the Government's action plan for entrepreneurship in education and training and assess it as a political instrument, and provide input on how further work on entrepreneurship training should be followed up. The purpose of the evaluation was to conduct various studies of what entrepreneurship training is, the scope of such training in lower and upper secondary education and higher education, and its effects in achieving learning objectives.
The action plan has played an important role in putting entrepreneurship on the agenda and has contributed to further development and dissemination of training. The action plan mainly includes relevant measures, and most of these have been followed up in a good manner. At the same time, entrepreneurship training is a diverse and demanding field. There are a number of challenges associated with the further work, both in higher education and lower and upper secondary education. These challenges have been addressed in the different sub-studies of the project.
One of the main conclusions is that it is important to continue the work on entrepreneurship training. The situations are quite different in secondary education and higher education. The two sectors should therefore be approached with different strategies.
In the research project, they based their work on a definition of entrepreneurship education that distinguishes between three different approaches, namely education about entrepreneurship, education for entrepreneurship and education through entrepreneurship. Whereas the approach with education about entrepreneurship entails learning about entrepreneurship as a societal phenomenon, the approach with education for entrepreneurship involves education and training to develop knowledge and skills that provide a basis for starting and running a company. The third approach – education through entrepreneurship – involves using entrepreneurial processes as tools to achieve certain learning objectives. Participation in an (entrepreneurial) process is the focus of this approach, and it is most appropriate to characterise the approach as a pedagogical method.
It may be perceived as a weakness in the action plan that it exaggerates a broad, general pedagogical approach on one hand, while omitting an important aspect of entrepreneurship training by not including education about entrepreneurship on the other.
A key finding in the mapping is that there are few courses in entrepreneurship in pedagogical subjects and initial teacher education. Moreover, there has been a substantial decline in recent years in spite of the action plan's goal to strengthen courses in initial teacher education.

In response to the national election and the appointment of people who continuously call into question the validity of science around important topics such as HUMAN CAUSED climate change, a group of passionate volunteers are organizing the Idaho March for Science in Boise on April 22nd, 2017.
This group is engaging and activating people from across the political spectrum to stand up in defense of science and the role it plays in protecting and enhancing our quality of life for all communities. They care about protecting the free exchange of ideas as our society continues to try to solve our most pressing environmental, health, economic, and social problems. Tune in to my conversation with two of the volunteer leaders in this effort in defense of science: Dick Jordan and Kevin Shrumm.
Dick Jordan is a science teacher with 35 years of experience (fun) inspiring the next generation of scientists and environmentalists and Kevin Shrumm is an undergrad student at Boise State studying Geoscience and Education.

Child endangerment charges filed last summer against political operative and Rensselaer County Legislature aide Richard Crist were quietly dropped after the office of the prosecutor he helped get elected did not object to his lawyer's request that the charge be dismissed.
Two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and a count of harassment, a violation, against Crist were dismissed in Sand Lake Town Court on Monday, District Attorney Joel Abelove confirmed. The charges were set aside at the request of Crist's lawyer, William Dreyer, and Abelove's office did not fight the request.
A Republican who took office on Jan. 1, Abelove says he saw no need to recuse himself from the case that grew out of Crist's July arrest in Schodack for an alleged physical confrontation with his then 17-year-old son.
Crist, a 46-year-old Republican, worked on Abelove's victorious campaign against Democrat Carmelo Laquidara. Crist helped Abelove win a primary for the Independence Party line that was important in Abelove's narrow Election Day victory over Laquidara. Abelove won by 492 votes of the 45,470 cast in the general election.
On Election Day, Abelove received 1,596 votes on the Independence line.
Abelove said he saw no reason to recuse the case because most of the work on it was done by the previous administration of acting District Attorney Arthur Glass, a Democrat.
"And, he was not directly involved in heading my campaign," Abelove said of Crist.
But the man Abelove replaced said the new prosecutor should have asked a judge to appoint a special prosecutor.
"You don't even want to give the impression of any impropriety," Glass said Friday.
Crist declined to comment as did Dreyer, who cited the confidentiality of child protective cases.
The charges stemmed altercation Crist allegedly had with his 17-year-old son on July 11 in the Castleton Elementary School parking lot.
According to court documents, Child Protective Services in October delivered a final report from their investigation to Glass' office.
Abelove said that report found no wrongdoing by Crist. Dreyer had asked for the charges to then be dropped, but the previous administration did not act on it, he said.
"It is my understanding that we agreed to settle the case," said Abelove.
Glass said his office had not made a decision when he left office at the end of last year.
The child endangerment charges related to the fact that some young children who were in the parking lot with their parents witnessed the incident.
"CPS cleared the defendant only from actions taken with his son but we were still considering the third-party aspects of the case," said Glass, who is now retired.
Because of Crist's political connections, the case bounced around for months with judges in Schodack, East Greenbush and North Greenbush recusing themselves. The case landed in Sand Lake Town Court where both justices are Democrats. It was unclear Friday which judge handled the case.
Rensselaer County Child Protective Services also recused its office. The Saratoga County CPS investigated the allegations, officials said.
Abelove said that Crist did not play a major role in his campaign but worked for him like he did for other GOP candidates.
Crist earns $95,308 as the County Legislature's legislative liaison. He also is Schodack town Republican chairman and has worked as a consultant on various local, state and congressional campaigns.
Abelove did not hire Crist's consulting firm for his recent campaign. A review of Abelove's campaign spending at the New York State Board of Elections shows no payments to Crist for his services.
Schodack police have said Crist has no history of such incidents and no one was hurt.

Hair Loss from Hysterectomy – What Can be Done?
Author: Leonora
Name: Featch
Question: My hair has become very fine since my hysterectomy and after blood tests were all negative my doctor has put me on spironolactone 100mg to prevent further hair loss. I appear to have general all over hair loss and also use the laser max comb regularly. My scalp feels itchy on a frequent basis but there is no redness or soreness and no obvious skin condition. Will I know need to use Minoxidil I wanted to avoid the daily bind of topical applications.
Answer: When a woman undergoes a hysterectomy, she goes into surgically induced menopause that results in the condition called "hormone imbalance" even if the ovaries are left intact. Blood test results do not necessarily indicate a medical deficiency, this is why your Doctor put you on Spironolatone.
This hormone imbalance can affect hair growth. The majority of women notice thinning hair pre or post menopause. Hormone Replacement therapy can resolve hair loss for some women but others require additional topical treatment such as Minoxidil and hair growth boosters.
You can wait and see if the Spironactone alone resolves your hair loss or you can start applying Minoxidil to ensure that you prevent further thinning. We offer a free consultation in the centre which will give us a chance to examine your scalp and diagnose your condition accurately in order to recommend the optimum course of action.
To arrange a consultation you can call Belgravia on 020 7730 6666 or message the centre. Alternatively you can complete our online diagnostic form if you are unable to get to our London centre.

A gem hidden deep in Arabia, Yemen's history still echoes of the footsteps of some of the world's most prominent historical, and religious figures. The land time forgot, a land made red and gold by the intensity of its Sun, Yemen's religious history has been unfairly portrayed – redacted even, so that the world would only know of it, what certain powers aim to project.
A majority Muslim country it may be, Yemen is also home … or at least was home, to thriving Jewish and Christian communities. It is this history, this rich and vibrant patrimoine the likes of Saudi Arabia – the world's most violent, and reactionary theocracy, has worked to obliterate.
For several decades now – since 1962, if one wants to be precise – the kingdom has run a vengeful campaign against Yemen's religious pluralism, reshaping this once proud, and tolerant nation of Arabia to its own vengeful image. Of this war you most likely have never heard anything about … you most probably remain under the impression that Yemen was only ever a Muslim state … that no other faith before that ever graced its shores and populated its mountains.
May I gently remind readers that Yemen's first encounter with monotheism was by way of Shem, one of Noah's sons, a man God blessed with many heirs so that they could repopulate the Earth. It was Shem several millennia ago who architected Sana'a, Yemen's capital city. To this very day, and despite Riyadh's best efforts, Sana'a Old City still stands a testament to its Biblical past.
I say Biblical because no one in Yemen will ever reject any of god's Books, and any of God's prophets. In Yemen, those very names you hold most dear - those names you whisper in your prayers and beseech in your worship, Yemen reveres just as hard.
Yemen has walked alongside many of God's Prophets ... Yemeni arms have built many of God's houses: temples, churches, mosques. In all of them it is God, and him alone, Yemenis have kneeled to, prostrated themselves before, and asked forgiveness to. Who's to say which manners of worship God will find most favourable if in fact it comes from a humble and true heart?
Yemen long ago pledged itself to the God of Abraham … never once did its people look back, never once did they turn away – and together they always stood.
That is until today. That is until radicalism came to unfairly tear communities apart, raiding and looting what was Yemen's glorious testament to religious tolerance.
You most likely believe that Christianity lives not in Yemen, that Christians are not in fact welcome in Yemen.
That would be the deceit Saudi Arabia has worked to make come true. That would be the lie, an army of Wahhabi clerics has worked to manifest on the ground by removing all traces of Yemen's Christian heritage.
Jesus speaks in Yemen! God's churches still ring, although ever so quietly now that war has claimed most of its bells.
Who will speak for those souls which have burned under the fire of Wahhabism? Who will speak for those communities and those families who were denied help for Christianity failed to recognize its brethren, and instead allowed for prejudice to blind its gaze?
Yemen's Resistance did! Those very forces the Western world labelled as rebellious and illegitimate have risen a tide against Wahhabism religious crusade, determined to protect those they call brothers and sisters. Regardless of what many have said of Yemen, and on Yemen, no harm will ever come to those who follow the words of Jesus, Son of Mary.
How could it when, Muslims await for his return with the same hope, and fierce certainty?
Paul Yule's work, an archeologist from the southwestern German city of Heidelberg, attests of Yemen's Christian past.
For several decades now Saudi Arabia has exerted its suffocating influence onto Yemen, breeding hate and intolerance where there was once brotherhood and respect. Thanks to a covert campaign of Wahhabization Yemen has been turned into a hotbed for extremism, where violent radicals' understanding of the Scriptures is limited to bloodshed.
A minority now living in fear, Yemen's Christians have been reduced to practice their faith underground. Such a sad state of affair ever only took place under Rome's murderous oppression of early Christians. How far have we fallen?!
Under Riyadh's strict patronage the Yemeni government does not permit the establishment of buildings or worship places without prior permission.
This reality Yemen's Resistance movement ambitions to overturn.
Oppressed in their faith for they do not follow Wahhabism, the Houthis of Yemen understand what it is to suffer religious intolerance. And such intolerance they are bent on eradicating.
The question is will they succeed when so many nations have chosen to oppose them? Ironically it is Christian nations which have most violently denounced Yemen's Resistance movement, oblivious to the fact it is their faith they are condemning to annihilation.
There is another assumption about Yemen I'd like to tackle if I may, and that is this belief that Yemenis are stuck in between the intolerance of Saudi Arabia, and that of Iran. Unlike Saudi Arabia which made all faiths unlawful but its own: Wahhabism, Iran is home to Christian and Jewish communities. Unlike Saudi Arabia which labels all non-Wahhabis: apostates, and thus legalise religious oppression, Iran abides by Islam's Covenants with the People of the Book (those who follow God's Scriptures, and recognize His prophets).
And while it may upset certain politicians to admit to such truths, Iran stands a grand protector of religious pluralism, in keeping with the teachings of the Prophet of Islam, and the wisdom spoken by his progeny.
Islam can never be an enemy of Christianity or Judaism, not without forfeiting its own prophets, and that of course it will never do.

Ok, so after much thought and research I've decided to make some changes here at Casa de Earthtones Girl. I've been surfing around, checking out how blogs look and how pictures look on different backgrounds and I think that while my blog IS earthy looking it's a bit dark and the sidebar is just not inviting….So the general presentation here is going to change and I think will be much more inviting and user friendly.
Also my darling husband has given me a new camera for my birthday (my God I'm 37 now!!! That we'll cover in another post) 8 megapixels, point and shoot, face recognition, etc…it even launches space shuttles if you know which button to press. OH!!! and I finally figured out/learned how to resize pictures sooooooo things are about to go in a brand new direction. This is very exciting….as I said in another post I'm not trying to be the Yarn Harlot but I do want to share my knitting and my life and make it all look NICE. I'll also be able to go into more detail about my projects and really show you what I'm doing.
So stay tuned good things are coming….

(Before reading this entry, please note that those of you who are staunch believers in a faith might be offended. As my entry is not intended to offend, but inform and enlighten, I do understand entirely if you choose to ignore this post or even cut me off. Anything I state below really is simply my thoughts on what I believe in now, and why I feel that the path I've chosen is the one right for me.)
"A religion is sometime a source of happiness, and I would not deprive anyone of happiness. But it is a comfort appropriate for the weak, not for the strong. The great trouble with religion – any religion – is that a religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge those propositions by evidence. One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak certainty of reason- but one cannot have both." – Robert Heinlein, Friday
While I was planning on writing something fun, with the latest events rocking the Catholic Church, from the revelations of the rapist priests of Los Angeles, to the sudden resignation of the top UK priest for sexual abuse, and now the resignation of the Pope due to a possible sex scandal and not the reasons so stated as poor health, I just couldn't get my mind off of this.
I was born Catholic. Raised to love the Church of God and revere the faith as something unknowable, unquestionable and the way to find hope in the afterlife. Through my life as a Quebecois kid, I went from St-Ignatius to Loyola High without skipping a beat, serving the church in one way or another. I genuinely loved being an altar boy, a choir singer, a defender of the Bible and would admittedly even read the Old Testament for fun in between my copies of the Amazing Spider-Man and Batman. Heck, my favorite secret graphic novel as a child wasn't compilations of the Avengers, or Star Wars, but the life and times of Jesus Christ.
But then I was introduced to Robert Heinlein, The Amazing Randi, Secular Humanism, and the episode "Dead Run" from the 1980s Twilight Zone. The seeds of doubt were planted.
With each passing year, I found myself questioning the lessons given to me, those that I was supposed to follow without question. I found that gay people were not the spawn of evil (maybe of fashion and dance trends though), that women are very much the equal measure of men, and that there are far too many people that oppress their neighbours in the name of whatever deity was theirs to believe.
But more importantly, when I admitted I am pro-choice, I was confronted with a single question by a devout person, "What kind of Catholic are you?" And at that moment, the last of any such illusions faded from my sight. I wasn't one. Not anymore. Too many rapes of children by the clergy. The Magdalene sisters. The extreme right using the Bible to justify their beliefs, and picking which quotes best suited their purpose. The coming of a Pope, a former Nazi, and someone who condoned and hidden the corruption of the church. The truth behind Mother Teresa. Father Ritter of Covenent House being a child abuser. Those and so many many more events, and I found that I was genuinely embarassed, even disgusted to have ever called myself a Catholic.
Since then, with the absence of belief in Catholicism, I found that the rest of the tenets of Christianity was not much further behind. The same arguments given by religious men on the existence of a God, also pretty much applies to a Polytheism approach to religion. There's no more proof in the reasons for there being a God, than there is believing in a pantheon of Gods. Why is a belief in God any more real than one of Hinduism (dating back to 5500 BC to today), or in Zeus/Jupiter (1000BC to 300AD) or Xenu (Scientology) for that matter? Every argument given to me has been given and demanded and hounded and repeated to me from the other's faith-based point of view. But having have had that same point of view once, I've realized that such thoughts hold no more meaning to me now than the story of Little Red Riding Hood, a fairy tale meant for children. And there I stood… a believer in the supernatural no longer.
Three years ago, when I finally had the bravery to state to my family that I had become an Atheist, I wrote this in my former blog as my statement of belief. As I read it now, I find that I believe this so much more in the present, than I ever could have as my prior self. In these words, I have no regret, and only joy in the time to come:
"This is it… I believe in the joy of a sniffer of cognac when looking out into a lightning filled sky with Miles sweetly playing in the background. I believe in the laughter of my nephews when they play in the sun. I believe in the joyous taste of a superbly made foie gras across a piece of freshly made baguette. I believe in the rapture of having seen Crosby score that gold medal winning goal, or the determined satisfaction of a job well done when my friend Randy lifted the Grey Cup over his head. I believe that Tim Horton's is superior to Dunkin' Donuts any day, and McDonald's will probably outlast all corporations by generations. "
"I believe in the silent contented grin of my sweetheart on a quiet night on the sofa, and the pure gaze of love between my brother David and his wife Jennifer as they sat across from me. I believe in the thrill of my paddle blade slicing through the water as the Red Eyes approach the finish line. I believe that I am a good man, and my moral choices are right for me, and no one has the right to impose their own morality on me, just as I don't have the right to impose on them. I believe that when it matters most, I will be there for those who need me to be their knight.
And I believe that my friends and my family are my single greatest source of strength no matter the circumstances.
In the end, that's all I really do need to believe in. What about you?"

The one conditioner is two.
At first, it's necessary to
reflect, and all the world is staged
to be my mirror. Taking time,
I learn to see the other as
myself. It isn't easy though.
We call this practice suffering.
It lasts until another slowly
gets it in this head—I am
not two. There is a shortcut though—
to love the other as my self.
This is the heart of my intent.
For I am That, the absolute
unknowable subjective self
dividing self to know my self.
This world has named that knowing love.
And as below, it is above.

It is sad to have to report the sudden death of Gerrard Goodhind as the age of 65. Gerrard sang bass in the choir of Our Lady of the Angels, Erith, Kent for many years. I knew him through the Catenians as a dear and much loved friend, secretary of Blackheath and Chislehurst circle and outstanding editor of the newsletter for Province 7. He is indeed a great loss to all of us. At his funeral the celebrant was Brother Martin Mikuskiewicz and the church choir lead by Christine Bould and accompanied by Michael King at the organ sang Psalm 84 arranged by Gerrard's brother David and "The Lord is my shepherd" by Howard Goodall. The hymns were "Lord for tomorrow and its needs", "On eagle's wings" ,"My God accept my heart this day", "O bread of heaven" and "Thine be the glory". Paul Wellicome, Liz and I sang in the choir.
In the prayers his grandchildren said "Help us all to think... that Grandad is in heaven, singing hymns in the choir, flying aeroplanes and enjoying a John Smiths with the angels". Gerrard always stayed to listen to the organ voluntary and so it was appropriate that he left the church accompanied by "Nun danket alle Gott" by Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Our prayers are with Pat and Sarah and Claire his daughters and their families.

Cornerstone is a unique metal shield in Dragon Age II.
Acquisition Edit
- Looted from Jeven during the Act 3 quest Favor and Fault.
Notes Edit
- This is very useful against bosses such as the high dragon (though he/she can still be grabbed) and Meredith (her area-of-effect stun will not work on its user), as it makes its user a more effective tank. Though there are other shields having much higher armor than this, the invulnerability to knockback is worth the gap.
Trivia Edit
- If Aveline is equipped with this shield, bumping her through impassable obstacles like a flaming barricade will not knock her back (thus, proving the shield's ability). Instead, she always screams in pain. As for Hawke, though he/she cannot also be pushed back, he/she will not make any sound that he/she is hurt. ps3
