Trouble with calories
We have a problem with something that you can neither see, taste, nor smell. It's about calories, which we eat on average a lot more than 730,000 a year.
Calories – an eternally up-to-date topic dealt with by growing masses of slimming people around the world. Although more and more information about them can be found on the labels of food products, in the restaurant menu or on websites, still know about them causes consternation. Few people know what they are and what they mean to health, even though an increasing percentage of the population of highly developed countries is overweight or obese. Hardly anyone knows how to interpret and use information available about them. Such conclusions come from a book titled "Why Calories Count From Science to Politics" (which is important from science to politics), which was written by Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim, American Nutritionists, and which was published on April 1, 2012.This publication aims to explain to everyone who is calories, where they come from, how their different sources affect the body and why it is so easy to eat more than they need.
The authors of the book state that people can be shocked by the calorie content of dishes and snacks they reach for. Marion Nestle's co-worker, Lisa Young, asked the students how many calories a carbonated drink with a volume of nearly 2 liters (64 ounces – 1.89 liters). Before she asked them for an answer, she reported that a bottle of the same 0.2-liter beverage contained 100 kcal. The students most often answered that the large bottle contains 400 kcal, although the truth is that it has a value of up to 900 kcal. This is an example of how people estimate the calorific value of food and drinks. Information given on packaging often causes people to make calculations badly. The number of calories per 100 g of the product is not always sufficient knowledge, because how many calories contains 235 g of the same product,or one cake from 12 contained in the package on which the caloric value is given in 100 g?
Another problem is the size of portions served in bars and restaurants. 450 g of pasta is a portion for eight people, not three or four! Italians eat about 50 g of pasta in a serving, not several hundred, as the Americans usually do. Professor Nestle said that in the US, pizza for one person can be up to 2,100 kcal, and that's the value a woman's whole day diet should have.
Interestingly, overeating may be facilitated by the slogans that some products are provided with. "Organic", "0% fat", "pro-health product" – these are the signs that make us feel absolved from eating such products in excess.
The authors of the book write that most people underestimate the calorie content of their meals. People who took part in the Nurses' health Study test claimed that they eat 1600 kcal per day, with the majority having a BMI around 26, which is clearly overweight!
However, Marion Nestle does not recommend counting calories and does not do it herself. He advises you to pay attention to what you eat and in what quantities. The diet of each of us should abound in vegetables and fruits, and whole grains and lean meat should be eaten in reasonable quantities. We must also avoid worthless foods that, apart from calories, do not contain anything important to our body.
It also turns out that the source of calories, i.e. whether it will be a low-carb or low-fat diet, is much less important for the figure than the fact of reducing the number of calories consumed. It's also much easier to control your diet by looking at the holes in the trouser belt or weight, than counting all the calories that go into our mouths. Self-control of body weight or its circuits is a good way to check whether the diet causes weight gain or just the opposite. Marion Nestle encourages you to regularly control the impact of your diet on body weight and its circuits, because it is much easier to correct your diet and lose weight when you lose a kilo than when you have 15 or 20 of them.
We look forward to translating the book into Polish. The information contained in it may be useful not only to Americans, but also to us Poles.
If you think that the problem of overeating or too large portions applies only to US residents, then you are wrong. Here's the calorific value of pizza at the Pizza Hut restaurant (data from pizzahut.com)
medium pizza (diameter 30 cm) one piece 230-330 kcal; the whole pizza 1840-2640 kcal
medium pizza (30 cm diameter) on a thin pastry one piece 180-280 kcal; the entire pizza 1440-2240 kcal
large pizza (diameter 35 cm) one piece 330-480 kcal; the whole pizza 2640-3840 kcal.
This is information about the size of the pizza used in the USA. On the Polish side of the restaurant there is no information about the size and calorie of a pizza, but a large pizza in the Polish Pizza Hut is about 33 cm.
We decided to have fun calculating the calorie of this pizza, estimating the calorific value per 1 cm of pizza diameter. It turned out that this value can range from 61 to 109 kcal. Thus, a pizza with a diameter of 33 cm will have a calorific value of 2013-3597 kcal. A pizza of this size is recommended for more than one person, but as we found on one of the Internet forums Large pizza on a thick batter and two people go out unsatisfiedPosted on: November 7, 2018

WATSONVILLE >> The head of the county's largest school district on Tuesday pushed back against teachers union claims that the district is able — but unwilling — to substantively increase salaries as its teachers struggle with relatively low pay and rising cost of living.
Superintendent Michelle Rodriguez told the Sentinel that it would be unsustainable and fiscally irresponsible for the district to use its $57 million reserves to meet the teachers union demands.
Rodriguez said she is sympathetic to teachers who struggle to keep up with cost of living increases that have risen about 14 percent in Santa Cruz County in the past year. But with rising pension and health-care costs and school facilities in dire need of repairs, she said meeting the district's demand for a $4,400 salary increase isn't possible.
"We want to give our teachers — all of our staff — the very best compensation we can," Rodriguez said. "We want that. I was a teacher for over a decade, I know the importance. … My question is, show me how we can afford that. And to this date not one person has shown me how we could spend an extra $12 million each year on salaries in addition to all the other expenses that are going up."
Rising expenses for the district include health-care costs that are increasing by about 6 percent each year and the impact of a statewide public pensions crisis that is also threatening city and county budgets. Rodriguez said PVUSD expects to pay an additional $3 million each year until 2022 to meet its CalPERS pension obligations.
Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers President Francisco Rodriguez disputed that the reserve funding was the only avenue to pay for the salary increase and pointed to the creation of new administrative positions in the past year, including a public information officer. That's an indication that the district has at least some financial flexibility, he said.
"This is a matter of priorities," he said. "The district needs to prioritize retaining teachers and attracting teachers and the ongoing funds need to be dedicated to that."
At the heart of the negotiations is PVUSD teachers' relatively low salaries when compared to nearby districts. According to the union's calculations, an average PVUSD teacher would earn more than $9,000 more per year by moving to the Salinas Union High School District. And starting salaries at nearby school districts can range as much as $15,000 per year higher than PVUSD's first year pay of $43,557, according to salary schedules published by the districts.
Michelle Rodriguez insists the salaries don't tell the whole story, pointing to the district's health care and benefits offerings that are substantially higher than comparable districts.
Public data compiled by the Education Data Partnership shows the district spends 56 percent more on overall benefits than other districts, and twice as much on health care.
That, according to some, is one possible source of funding to pay for the salary boost.
"On the one hand, their wages are low but they have this very Cadillac health plan. And the district only has so much money," said Bill Beecher, an Aptos resident who has taken an interest in the district's educational outcomes for a decade and now heads a Citizen Oversight Committee for Measure L funds.
Francisco Rodriguez said that the union would only consider that kind of trade-off if the district were in "economic dire straights."
"If they were going broke that would be something to consider, but the fact is they are not," he said.
Negotiations between the union and district began in December of 2016 and carried on throughout the following year with hundreds of teachers joining in walkouts, picketing and similar actions.
The union declared an impasse in December, putting a pause on negotiation until mediation begins.

Many spiritual teachers and writers – of all traditions – talk of the importance of the breath for meditation and interior silence. It's a big deal.
Phrases like 'watching the breath' or 'practicing with the breath' are common. I will write more about this at another time. But last week I was listening to Rob Bell (author of 'Velvet Elvis' and the man behind the popular Nooma DVD's). He was referencing some research that linked breathing to energy. We all know how our breathing is linked to our state of mind – if we are anxious our breathing will be quick and shallow. If we are in a rested, peaceful state we breathe more slowly and deeply. But what we perhaps weren't aware of is the link between breathing and energy. Apparently if we breathe around 6 breaths per minute we will optimize the amount of energy that is available to us.
Most of us breathe more like 20 breaths a minute – quick shallow breaths. This dissipates us. The research Bell was referencing suggested that when we breathe like this we access less than 10% of available energy.
So apart from the link between breathing and deeper prayer states, it would seem that if we can slow and deepen our breathing we will access more energy generally. Try it – count how many times a minute you breathe.

How to Make a Cover for Crutches
PhotoObjects.net/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
If you've been injured and are using crutches to get around, it can be a painful experience for your armpits unless you properly cover the tops of your crutches with padding. It's not difficult to create homemade crutch covers using a few household items.
Although covering your crutches will make them less painful, avoid leaning on them for a long time to avoid injuring your armpits.
Roll out a long length of gauze from your gauze roll. You'll need enough to wrap it around the armpit areas several times. Hold the gauze in place on the crutch and keep it from fraying by taping it to the crutches with several strips of medical tape.
Test your crutches to see if there is enough padding. If it is not sufficient, remove all the gauze and try gel pads. If the gauze provides enough padding, you're done.
Use medical tape to attach gel cushions to the armpit areas and any other areas on the crutches that cause discomfort. Gel cushions are available at medical-supply stores and pharmacies.
Screw crutch tips into the threaded holes on the bottom of your crutches. These add support when you walk and distribute your weight more evenly, which will increase comfort. These can also be found at pharmacies and medical-supply stores.

We have decided from now on to hold our Councillor advice surgery at the Café Vive Iterum on the first Saturday of every month from 11am to 12.30pm. The Café is opposite Dollis Hill tube station (Burnley Road side).
Café Vive Iterum
1a Hamilton Road
We previously held our surgery at the College of North West London which is a great location for the ward, but have found that during college holidays, we face the prospect of having no surgery at all, or being at temporary sites. This can get confusing for residents. Therefore by changing to this arrangement, we will be having a consistent approach and will be available for residents at a single location whether it is a College holiday or not.
We don't have an appointment system and have never had one, but when people turn up, we will prioritise ward residents first.
Dudden Hill Liberal Democrats do not hold a surgery in the ward and have not done so for over three years at least.

More than half of chief financial officers (CFOs) are under pressure from boards that they believe have unrealistic expectations of their work, according to a new report.
A survey by Dun and Bradstreet found that 56 per cent of CFOs say they face unrealistic expectations, while 71 per cent believe they are under too much pressure.
97 per cent agreed their roles have changed significantly in the last three years. 59 per cent of those questioned said more risk and compliance elements had worked their way into their jobs, while 60 per cent said increased pressure comes from falling team sizes.
53 per cent of CFOs said this increased pressure also increases the risk of serious mistakes, with 59 per cent reporting that their firms often rush the compliance process and 55 per cent saying they feel uncomfortable in their roles due to the kinds of risks being taken.
"The role of the financial decision maker has transformed over the last few years," said Tim Vine, head of trade credit for the UK and Ireland at Dun and Bradstreet. "While many financial leaders feel this has been a positive shift overall, it's still a major challenge. Suddenly, teams who have reduced in size now have to manage a complex dual role – business gatekeeper and revenue creator."
To solve this problem, 45 per cent of CFOs think decisions should be made based on data. 57 per cent said their businesses do not currently have access to accurate data, which 65 per cent of financial leaders say makes opportunities more difficult to spot.
"The UK's financial leaders know how powerful data analysis and smart use of technology can be in helping them meet business expectations in their new joint role as business guardian and revenue driver," Vine said. "Despite the challenges they clearly face, these two roles are not opposites.
"Protection and growth can go hand-in-hand, but only when they are underpinned and supported by the resource, tools and data to allow for smarter decisions that will grow the business.
"If financial leaders are to fulfil this duel objective, they must gain support for the data and analytical capabilities needed to empower their insight."

In American, obesity has become a severe problem that affects people of all ages. While there are many diets, fitness chains and other methods to help shed unwanted pounds, sometimes, you must reach rock bottom in order to take action. One day, Joe Cross found himself, 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating auto-immune disease. He decided enough was enough and began his journey to good health. He decided to film his transition so that he could inspire others to do the same. Along the way, he spoke to more than 300 Americans, from all walks of life, about what they ate and (more importantly) what they didnt eat. He found a nation full of honest, hard working, friendly and caring people that just need some motivation and inspiration. His documentary, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joes personal mission to regain his health. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long term, Joe turns to the only option left, his bodys ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road armed with a juicer and generator, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and get healthy. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Joe Cross, about his journey and how juicing can improve and restore your health. Stay tuned!

Chicago reactor team. Enrico Fermi, first row, first on left.
For more than a year, physicist Enrico Fermi and his team had been building a pile of blocks under the racquet courts at the University of Chicago.
The pile was made of alternating bricks of uranium and graphite.
Inserted into the pile were cadmium coated rods that could be withdrawn.
This was the world's first nuclear reactor and no one knew if it would work.
On December 2, 1942, Fermi and his team began to withdraw the cadmium rods.
Cadmium has the power to absorb neutrons. The uranium, being radioactive, gave off neutrons. And each time a neutron from the deteriorating uranium hit another uranim atom, it caused a small reaction which gave off both heat and an addition three neutrons. As neutron hit atom and each atom in turn went from U238 and U235, the newly formed atom of U235 in turn gave off an additional 3 neutrons. One became 3 became 9. 3 to the third over and over and over, each giving off more and more energy and the reaction took off. The pile went critical and the reaction was self sustaining for 28 minutes.
The world's first chain reaction.
The successful experiment under the University of Chicago's football stadium was the foundation of the Manhattan Project and the basis of the Atomic Bombs that the US would ultimately drop on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki three years later.
New technologies do not occur in a vacuum.
Once unleashed, they, like the pinging loose neutrons in Fermi's pile, begin to set off a series of chain reactions impacting on other technologies and industries until those industries and technologies are also changed… or simply explode.
Take the Internet.
The Internet itself was the product of the US military's desire to protect command and control from the power of nuclear weapons. As warheads grew ever larger in megatonnage, the military had initially responded by burying their command deeper and deeper in the earth.
It soon grew apparent that it was far easier to ratchet up the megatonage of the bombs than keep digging deeper into the earth.
So the military went to the Rand Corporation and asked them for a solution. They came up with a rather novel one: networks.
If you build a network of nodes, they said, connecting the nodes together, then even if one or two or four nodes are destroyed, the others will continue to function.
The US Dept of Defense did just that. Under their Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, they built something called ARPAnet. A network of mainframe computers joined together by phone lines. Think The Forbin Project.
This ARPAnet was to become the Internet. Opened to the public, it's network growing far beyond its initial 8 nodes to what we know today.
As each new node was added, as each new computer and user and server came online, as each new functionality was added, the national network of the web, formerly Arpanet, now grew, a bit like Fermi's pile in Chicago. Each begetting more and more and each new line of code or added function or added computer adding more and more, larger and larger, until it hit critical masss itself.
Had you told the people building Arpanet for the Defense Department that their 8 mainframes and dial up telephone links would one day destroy the newspaper business, they would have thought you insane.
But it did.
Had you told them that it would destroy all the television networks in the country, they would have had you institutionalized as a raving lunatic.
But it will.
Had you told them that it would one day render Bell Telephone worthless because you could use VOIP protocols for free, they would not have had the vaguest idea what you were talking about.
But all of that was to come true.
It was the inevitable result of the chain reaction set off the day Bolt Beranek and Newman, the engineering firm hired to build Arpanet, turned it on.
As Andy Grove, the Chairman of Intel said, "listen to the technology. It will tell you where to go".
Look at the confluence of technologies impacting now on the television and journalism business. Cellphone with video cameras inside. A web that carries video content globally for free. Listen to the technology. Where is it taking us? It may not be where you want to go, but most assuredly, this is where we are headed.
And unlike Fermi's reactor in Chicago, there is no way to turn it off or to slow down the reaction. We are rapidly approaching critical mass.

After having read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon my expectations for his second novel, A Spot of Bother, where quite high. I am happy to say that I was not in the least bit disappointed with this book.
George Hall is out shopping for pants one day when he sees a slight discoloration on his leg, the "spot of bother" which somehow starts the downward fall of George's sanity. George is 61 and newly retired, with quite the dysfunctional family that seems to be unable to communicate even with the simplest generic conversation topics. His daughter Katie announces that she will be marrying Ray, a man her parents do not approve of. Jaime, his homosexual son, keeps minimum contact with his family. Jean, George's wife, seems to find her life at a standstill and finds comfort in the arms of another man, David. Each chapter is told through the eyes of a different character, so we able to see how they misunderstand each other's intentions and never properly explain themselves or their actions.
At the heart of the story is George. A quiet, elderly man who tries to "go insane politely" as the back cover synopsis so cleverly put it. George keeps the lesion on his leg a secret from his family for as long as possible, even keeping his mental breakdown a secret. This is not a difficult task to accomplish as each member of the family is wrapped up in their own troubles and tend to forget about their ailing father/husband.
"His mind was malfunctioning. He had to bring it under control. He had it done it before. He had shared a house with his daughter for eighteen years without coming to blows, for starters. When his mother died he went back into the office the following morning to make sure the Glasgow deal did not fall through." This glimpse into the early stages of George's mind highlight his determination to not let his family or friends know that there was anything wrong with him. To help himself cope, George started taking long walks, drinking much more regularly and talking more than ever to his wife. George's newfound dependence on wife ultimately becomes the major snap in his brain when he finds her in bed with David after a particularly troubling mental experience at the train station.
Haddon somehow manages to interject a stealthy sense of humor in what would otherwise be a completely tragic story. Jaime, however detached from his family, seems to be glue that keeps his family from completely shattering. The family moves together in an ebb and flow of drama as their individual lives collapse at the same time. There were a few squeamish moments of the book, particularly centering on George's final mental snap in the family bathroom. Haddon has a steady pace, keeping most chapters under 5 pages and keeping a steady rhythm of alternating between characters. Haddon's wit keeps this book from falling under the Hallmark or Lifetime style of a cheesy family melodrama. It is neither cheesy nor superficial, but a touching and comic tale of family trying to keep it together.

aDARable in ATL
This weekend the WeAreDAR team packed our bags and headed down to Atlanta, GA to be a part of the Apparel Market. This was our very first time at any event like Market (and my first time in Atlanta – hello, Gladys' Chicken & Waffles!) and we were so happy to meet all our new buyers! The unique and wonderful thing about WeAreDAR and our line, aDarable, is that it truly tells a story. It was encouraging to hear buyers taking notice of not only our beautiful products but also to see them really listen to the whole purpose of the line. We now will have aDARable sold in 5 new stores and you can't help but just feel this good energy continuing to build around this project.

We are in Haiti!
"I use to think life could be shared by anyone but now I know choosing the right people is pretty important." — Bob Goff, Love Does
Rain. I talked about rain on one of my most previous blogs. The saying of some people just get wet, while others actually feel the rain. Today I felt the rain. I really did. It was the romantic, happy, dancing rain, it was the rain that brought feelings too good to be true. I don't know how to describe it.
I'm here in Haiti, surrounded by beauty everywhere. It' the stillness. The simplicity of life here, but we all believe we can make it even more beautiful, by providing hope to these people who have basically nothing, yet have so much love.
Seeing our women for the first time brought tears to my eyes. Seeing them excited, wearing their Sunday best, made me realize how much this really means to them. Some of our women travel more than 6 miles every day for this opportunity…it's the small things. I know I'm all over the place right now, but I'm just over the top excited for what is happening.
Our crew consists of our team cheerleader, Taylor- which along with many other tasks, is taking care of the women in our project, by making them feel loved, appreciated, taken care of, and supported. She has fallen in love with the children and women. It's been so fun to watch her interact with the people of the village.
Crista-our DARling intern has amazed me everyday since arriving. You can just see how much she loves teaching our women and you can see and feel how passionate she is about this project. Crista is one of the designers behind our "Concrete Pioneer" collection. She has been a part of this project from day 1 and so she has been a vital role in our current mission here.
Sarah- our fun, awesome, " Zami" aka friend, from Matilda Jane Clothing, has been a God send. She has been working hand in hand with Crista, teaching the women all the skills they need to know to produce our line.
Jennifer- beautiful Jennifer is a producer for Studio Now, and has worked on projects with L'Oreal, Verizon, AOL, along with many more. She has donated her time to help produce a video that tells you more about our work here in Haiti.
Paul- I have no words to describe Paul. Paul is a Director of Photography and simply the best. Paul has traveled the world filming for nonprofits, like ours. We have had so much fun with Paul-man! He is here working with Jen, and filming most of our project. Paul will also be editing our video once we return. He too is a God send because "someone" sponsored his entire trip and he took sick days to help us and travel with us. I can't tell you how thankful we are for him.
And so far our crew has accomplished sooo much. We have made sewing tables for each woman. We secured a generator, surge protectors, extension cords, and taught the woman how to use electrical sewing machines for the first time! Crista and Sarah have taught each lady how to make button holes, sew zippers, how to use a serger for the first time, and tomorrow they will be making patterns!! Whew! Now can you understand why I really don't have words to describe what is happening? We will post pictures soon, since our internet is iffy, at best.
Bob Goff said it best when he said, "Sometimes I think God says to ordinary people like me and you, that instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes He wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, and to do something about it."
Feeling blessed.
Step by Step
Today, I was thinking, why not share some insider information with you fine folks. Here is a very brief step-by-step list of the process it takes to design a line of clothes from start to finish.
RESEARCH: Using the power of technology and subscriptions to websites that offer exclusive information on trends, we researched the market. This began in January 2013 even though our line will not launch until Spring 2014. That's right, we work that far in advance to give you the most perfect product!
INSPIRATION: After browsing our resources, we realized we had 3 solid directions we could go in. We chose our favorite and adapted it to our target market.
THEME: We titled our theme "concrete pioneer". We continued to focus on exactly who she was; her likes and dislikes, where she lived, what her daily life looked like.
DESIGN CONCEPTS/ILLUSTRATIONS: This came primarily from our research. We also adapted a few looks to be more specific to our "concrete pioneer". We started with nearly 50 sketches and chose our favorite as a team.
FABRIC: Next it was time to choose fabric! This was one of the most exciting parts of the process because the garments began to come to life. We pulled our options and began choosing the ones that not only looked like our girl, but also worked well together. The 3 prints in our collection were the easiest to choose. We all agreed that the Anna Maria Horner field study collection would be a perfect fit (www.annamariahorner.com)!
PATTERNS: We used a technique called flat patterning to create all the patterns for the collection.
SAMPLES: Once the patters were completed, we wasted no time in starting our samples. We used muslin to create mock-ups to see the shape and fit of the pieces.
GARMENT SEWING: After patterns are finished and any needed adjustments are made, we sewed the garments using our designated fabric. This was the most gratifying step! We could finally see the finished pieces in all their glory!
There are several more steps in the process, I assure you! Things like tech packs (illustrations created on the computer to display construction details), line sheets and order forms (needed to sell the line), and of course pricing the garments (you must know the cost per garment + the cost of labor etc.).
And now you know (hopefully) a little more than you did about producing a line of clothing!
Hope you all are well! We sure are because we GET to go to HAITI in 18 days! Continue to follow along with us as we prepare for the trip of a lifetime!

Begin Today
Hi, Crista here (see previous post if necessary). I hope you will allow me to tell you our stories on Wednesdays. It's MY day to fill you in on our latest goings on.
I've racked my brain and searched google high and low to find a quote or a story that seemed fitting for today's post. This is what I have come up with:
"Begin today. Declare outloud to the universe that you are willing to let go of struggle and eager to learn through joy." Sarah Ban Breathnach
Let me set the stage. Yesterday, 6:45 p.m. at the beautiful Juel Salon in Franklin, TN. Martha, Taylor, plus two lovelies from our Design for a Cause class at O'More, Ashley and Maarika, and I are scrambling around to put the finishing touches on our display and presentation. Over and over again, the hospitable staff at Juel continuously offered their assistance in any way possible. They helped with the set up, moving tables, beautifying our displays, and made us smile. And just like it was 7. Go time. And we were excited and ready to share all our hard work. (Let me take a moment to give you some insider perspective. This was the moment we had been waiting for! Graciously anticipating! The moment we not only got to share the collection, but we would be able to sell it as well! Armed with clipboards, order forms, and our trusty squares, we were prepared to sell the garments in order to further our dream of empowering 10 beautiful Haitian women, which, wait for it, we can't do unless we are able to sell the line!)
…7:10….7:20….and no one has entered the room. It's your biggest nightmare! You spend weeks planning a party and no one comes. Well, let me explain to you that in this dream (not nightmare), you have nothing to be afraid of. I wish I could explain to you how much support was in that room. In fact, it was the safest place we could have been. Our friends at Juel handled the night with more grace and compassion than we could have ever imagined. They even offered to help us continue to sell the collection throughout the rest of the week! All in all, we sold 7 pieces and 4 items from our silent auction AND we now have 4 new trunk shows in the works!
Some would have only seen struggle, but here at WeAreDAR we find ourselves humbled and grateful. We are (more than) eager to learn through joy, because folks, it takes a village! And a realization that we are on an unpredictable journey. Our friends in Haiti are worth every ounce of perceived struggle and we can feel it in our bones that we are headed in the right direction.

Liu He and Zhang Youxia, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the CMC, arrived at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center on 11 January, watching the lander and rover taking photos of each other. Vice Premier Liu He read a congratulatory message. With the complete success of the mission, the fourth phase of China's lunar exploration program and the deep-space exploration programme will be inaugurated. The tasks ahead will be more arduous with unprecedented challenges, according to the message. "We are discussing and drawing up the plan for the fourth phase of the lunar exploration program, including missions to the polar regions of the Moon," said Wu Weiren, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chief Designer of China's lunar exploration programme.

By Muhammad Suleman
March 31, 2016
After 9/11, the international community has been considering non-state actors as the greatest threat to world peace and security. Loose nuclear material and other weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) falling into the hands of terrorists comprises one of the greatest challenges in this context. As a result, the international community has taken many initiatives in the form of treaties, UN Resolutions and agreements to strengthen security around nuclear and other WMDs installations. Currently there are many initiatives that have been taken to strengthen the security of WMDs, like the UN Security Council Resolution 1540;Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material; Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, 2005 Amendment; International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism; Nuclear Security Recommendations on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities; Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism; Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction: Statement of Principles.
Before the start of Nuclear Security Summit 2010global attention was better focused on nuclear non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament. However the Summit has shifted this focus entirely towards the security and safety paradigm. This move of the global nuclear order is due to the fact that the concept of nuclear security encompasses all relevant issues ranging from non-proliferation to safety and security of WMDs materials. Furthermore, the summit also provides the opportunity and a platform to de facto nuclear countries, i.e. Israel, India and Pakistan, to express their interests and concerns in front of an international audience. These countries are generally denied access to NPT Review Conferences as they are not signatories to the NPT, and the NSS is one of the few major platforms where they have effectively been able to put forward their perspectives on these issues.
The fourth and final summit is now due to be held in Washington on 31stMarch and 1stApril 2016, in which leaders from most invited countries will be participating. However the final Summit has lost much of its charm before it has even begun, as one of the key participants, Russia, has excused itself ahead of the event. Without Russia, this is a major power, a core player in global geopolitics and on such international forums, the final communiqué risks losing much of its strength and effectiveness. The country's rationale for non-attendance in the final leg of the Summit series is the argument that nuclear summits are interfering in the activities of established and recognized international organizations such as the IAEA, which already tackle the issues being taken up at the summits, and that the NSS attempts to 'impose' the "opinions of a limited group of states" on international structures, which is "unacceptable."Russia has stated that it will focus instead on a similar conference, also to be held in 2016, by the United Nations nuclear body, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Furthermore, in the upcoming as well as in previous summits, Iran and North Korea have deliberately been kept from participating, despite their vital importance in the context of nuclear security as generally accepted nuclear players. North Korea is a nuclear weapon country, possesses delivery systems and an aggressive posture towards its neighbors in particular and world peace at large. One of the aims of the summit was to create awareness and a sense of responsibility among nations about the security and safety of nuclear material. Both North Korea and Iran have many nuclear installations and are part of the nuclear club, but the security issues surrounding their nuclear installations continue to be neglected by not having invited them to any of these four summits. The exclusion of Iran and North Korea in addition to the retraction of Russia from the Summit has put a serious question-mark on the credibility of final communiqué.
While initially the NSS was only focused on the security and safety of civilian nuclear energy installations, its scope is gradually expanding to cover the security and safety of nuclear material for military usage as well. This is because currently, approximately 83 percent of nuclear material is being used for military purposes, while only 17 percent of fissile material is being used for civilian purposes. However nuclear weapons states are resistant to this initiative as it calls for a higher level of transparency regarding their nuclear weapons programmes, and no state loves the idea of transparency where its weapons programmes are concerned.
Some stakeholders desire the continuation of the NSS as a parallel body to the IAEA, to specifically watch over the nuclear material of the world. Other countries, like Russia and Pakistan, however, consider it is a challenge to countries' sovereignty. In this regard, both Russia and Pakistan have emphasized that civilian nuclear technologies are already being run under IAEA safeguards and instruction, and there is no need for any parallel mechanism to deal with nuclear security issues.
Obama's initiative of these Nuclear Security Summits has also been criticized for various reasons, the first and foremost of which is that initially Obama showed willingness to ratify the CTBT, and resolve the issue of FMCT at the CD forum, but to date nothing has been achieved on either front. Obama's statement on "Global Zero" also appears to be mere political rhetoric, as all previous efforts at international forums have either disappeared or become silent. Similarly, the Nuclear Security Summit also increasingly seems to be political rhetoric achieving little more than moral ground at international forums and reinforcing the US' status as 'protector of the world', while taking no substantive actions to strengthen non-proliferation and security regimes in reality. It is also argued that given Obama's status as the first black president of the US, he desires to associate 'new records' and a certain level of prestige with that status, particularly through 'gimmicky' breakthroughs such as the rehabilitation of relations with Cuba and Argentina, the Iran Nuclear Deal, and the Global Zero Initiative.
Nonetheless, a major contribution of the Nuclear Security Summit is that it has created more awareness among world leaders regarding the safety and security of WMDs and related issues. In this context, countries have taken more progressive actions, strengthened security measures and established various training centers for the capacity building of the personnel from relevant departments.

CONVENTIONAL TOLL ROADS vs. AUSTIN FREEWAY TOLL ROADS
Conventional toll roads in the U.S. have always been perceived as being fair, since they supplement our public highway system, and they offer a public expressway as an alternative. It's also important to note that conventional tolls have always been whole new routes and primarily funded with investor dollars.
Freeway tolls don't offer crucial free expressways as an alternative. Instead, frontage roads with stop lights and growing traffic congestion are touted as an alternative.
With freeway tolls, TxDOT has a financial incentive NOT to address traffic congestion on frontage roads since increased traffic congestion provides higher toll tax revenues. This is a severe departure for TxDOT, since its focus has always been solving transportation issues -- not generating revenue through traffic congestion. Freeway tolls simply shift public
highways intended to be freeways into tollways.
Those who support tolling public expressways never mention the true cost of public subsidies involved. The total cost to the taxpayer, especially the taxpayer-funded right-of-way (ROW), is never shared with the public. Freeway tolls create expressway monopolies and are the most expensive solution to our need for roads.
For the most part, the finances of conventional toll roads have been segregated from public funds. While freeway tolls are primarily funded with tax dollars intended for free roads.
Pro-toll advocate and TollRoadsNews.com writer Peter Samuel made this statement about TxDOT and its freeway tolls:
"It has no coherent explanation for its project selection, or for the way tax and toll monies are mixed. It has been cavalier in proposing tolls on highways already funded -- breaching a long-established piece of political wisdom about tolling."TOLLS: AN INEFFICIENT FORM OF TAX COLLECTION
At a TxDOT commission hearing in October 2004, TxDOT had admitted it costs 25 cents to collect a cash toll, and 11 cents to collect an electronic toll. So, if the toll tax for a short span of road is 50 cents, 50% of the money paid for that toll goes to collect the toll.
TxDOT and the local Regional Mobility Authority are on record promising a 12 to 15 cents/mile rate. Conventional toll roads in the US have an average toll rate of 9 cents/mile.
The Austin American-Statesman recently reported that the newly-opened Central Texas Phase I tolls cost as much as $1.50 per mile.
That's 10 times the cost promised, and 16 times the cost of the average toll rate in the U.S.
Toll roads cost much more for construction, right-of-way, utility relocation, maintenance, and service than do non-tolled roads. For example, Central Texas Phase II freeway tolls would cost $123 million more to build as toll roads than they would cost to build as free roads.
The footprint of a freeway toll project is larger than what's needed for the free road since toll lanes and free lanes must be separated. Therefore, extra land for right-of-way must be acquired and utilities must be relocated. Our existing roads have right-of-way corridors for expansion, but were never planned for the larger footprint required by freeway tolls.
To illustrate, a typical roadway project devotes about 90% or more of the cost to build the road. Compare that to TxDOT's toll analysis for SH 71 in Central Texas where only 35% of the cost of the project is for roadway construction. Over half the cost of the $168 million project goes to buying new right-of-way and having to relocate utilities for the freeway toll road.
In 2005, the State Comptroller came out with an investigative report showing how Regional Mobility Authorities that toll public highways are creating double taxation, by diverting tax dollars intended for free roads, into toll roads. The report also showed RMA board members giving NO BID CONTRACTS (using tax dollars) to themselves and their friends. Board members of RMA's have property in the vicinity of toll roads that have increased by as much as 989%.
Assuming your car gets 20 miles per gallon, and an increase in indexed gas tax was less than 20 cents a gallon, you would spend less than 1 cent a mile for an indexed gas tax. Compare that to tolls of 15 cents a mile, which would be 15 times the cost of an indexed gas tax. A 20 cent toll per mile would be 20 times the cost of an indexed gas tax, and so on.
The Texas Transportation Institute report says tolls are NOT needed, that indexing the gas tax and placing the incremental revenue in the mobility fund to pay off bonds allows us to build the roads we need now.

Rasheed Wallace Leaves Pistons: Good Riddance!July 6, 2009
Rasheed Wallace won't be contributing to the Pistons' cause anymore. He's gone, off to the hated Boston Celtics.
Wallace will be missing when the Pistons gather for training camp this fall, but he won't be missed.
The Pistons won't have him anymore, but I challenge you to notice the difference.
Wallace has been AWOL from the Pistons for too long now. His signing with the Celtics just makes it official.
Speaking of missing...
Once, Wallace was the missing piece. He was the final addition to the puzzle when Pistons President Joe Dumars stole him from the Atlanta Hawks in February 2004. His energy, outside shooting touch, and athleticism in the post were just what the doctor ordered. The Pistons, likely, don't win the NBA title that year without acquiring him.
Now, he's leaving, and whether it's because the puzzle has changed or his piece has become deformed, it doesn't matter. Rasheed Wallace is an ex-Piston, and the only regret should be that it didn't happen sooner.
Wallace was particularly missing last season, when the Pistons could have really used his participation in the wake of the Chauncey Billups/Allen Iverson swap and the Rip Hamilton pouting jag and eventual injury.
Not to mention to provide some veteran leadership, with a lot of it gone to Denver with Chauncey.
A rookie head coach could really have used some help from his supposed leaders. A veteran like Wallace could have been indispensable.
But 'Sheed showed his true colors. He laid down on the Pistons, turning in one uninspired performance after the other.
It used to be that you could put up with Wallace's antics, because his play was in the upper echelon of power forwards/centers in the league.
The ill-timed technical fouls, the ejections, the loss of emotional control that would affect his game for several minutes—you could abide that, because Rasheed was good for 15 to 20 points, about 10 boards, and a couple of three-point daggers every night.
But each year he was a Piston, his fuse got shorter, and his production got smaller.
By last season, Wallace was a shell of the player he was when the Pistons traded for him.
It wasn't just his age (he'll be 35 in September) that made his numbers shrink either. It was his attitude.
It won't surprise me, not one bit, if 'Sheed goes to the Celtics and elevates his game. He's probably reached the "needs a change of scenery" part of his career. The Celtics are a better team than the Pistons and are clearly championship caliber.
The Celtics, in fact, are a much better team than even the 2004 squad that Wallace joined in Detroit.
Maybe he needs to sniff a title to get interested again.
Rasheed Wallace, when he's engaged both physically and mentally, plays basketball with a fury like few others I've covered and watched in my 30-plus years of observing the NBA. When he cares to be, Wallace can be a marvelous player—a bona fide game changer.
He just has rarely cared to be, especially recently in Detroit.
'Sheed's mental breakdowns have been voluminous, but perhaps his most egregious example was in Game Five of the 2005 Finals against the Spurs at the Palace.
The Pistons had drawn even in games, 2-2, and were in a dogfight at the end of Game Five. They managed a two-point lead in the final seconds. The Spurs inbounded the ball.
Wallace, for whatever reason, left his man, Robert Horry, to double-team Manu Ginobili in the corner, a senseless move. Ginobili recognized it right away and kicked the ball back to the unguarded Horry, who had murdered the Pistons in the fourth quarter with his dead-eye shooting.
Horry calmly drained a game-winning triple, giving the Spurs a 3-2 lead. They won the series in seven games.
In my cleverness and incredulity, I wrote that Wallace left the wolf to guard the sheep.
A couple of years ago in the conference finals, they all but had to drag him kicking and screaming from the arena in Cleveland after Wallace got ejected while his teammates were trying to force a seventh game.
I, for one, won't miss Rasheed Wallace. Once, he was the fire and brimstone that the Pistons needed to win a title. That was then.
Wallace, by the end of his time with the Pistons, had denigrated into a disinterested, scowling malcontent. It used to be that 'Sheed saved his disdain for his opponents and the officials. By the end, even his own team wasn't immune to his toxic behavior.
Now he's gone, off to Boston, where the Celtics hope he can do for them what he did for the Pistons five years ago—be that missing piece.
In Detroit, he was just missing.
No 'Sheed.
