Pennsylvania readers may be aware of a recent initiative by the U.S Department of Justice aimed at locating some of the nation's most notorious parents. The effort has received a wide range of media coverage, as federal resources are spent trying to locate and arrest parents who are significantly behind on their child support obligations. While the details of this case are far and beyond those of the average parents, the story does send a message to all parents concerning the serious nature of child support violations.
The father in this case is a 50-year-old man with two adult daughters. He initially received a court order for child support in 1995; in 2002, a federal arrest warrant was issued against him for failure to pay. The U.S. Department of Justice recently named the man as their 'Most Wanted Deadbeat Parent.'
He was subsequently located and arrested, and is now facing prosecution on federal charges in relation to his failure to pay. The amount of his obligation to his children and ex-wife is estimated at $1 million, which the man does not contest. His attorney is currently working on obtaining a plea deal that would allow him to remain out of jail and working to pay back that debt.
For most Pennsylvania parents, failure to pay their child support is the direct result of a financial hardship. In such cases, the best course of action is to take immediate steps to address the issue. In situations in which a parent loses a job or has other significant financial hardship, it is possible to approach the courts and ask for a modification in the existing child support order. Doing so will give the non-custodial parent the breathing room needed to regain financial stability, while also avoiding the punitive measures that can come from attempts to claim past due child support.

Gold priced in CAD edges down as Bank of Canada leaves interest rate at 0.25%
(Kitco News) The Bank of Canada left its key interest rate at 0.25% on Wednesday, reiterating that it will leave its policy stance unchanged until the Bank’s inflation objective is sustainably achieved. Gold prices in Canadian dollars edged down after the announcement.
“The Bank of Canada today held its target for the overnight rate at the effective lower bound of ¼ percent, with the Bank Rate at ½ percent and the deposit rate at ¼ percent. The Bank is maintaining its extraordinary forward guidance on the path for the overnight rate. This is reinforced and supplemented by the Bank’s quantitative easing (QE) program, which continues at a target pace of $3 billion per week,” BoC said in a statement.
The new lockdowns that were introduced to battle the third COVID wave are weighing on the economic activity, with the employment rate still well below its pre-pandemic level, the Bank stated.
However, the BoC projects for the Canadian economy to recover “strongly” due to fast vaccinations pace and consumer spending.
“Housing market activity is expected to moderate but remain elevated. Strong growth in foreign demand and higher commodity prices should also lead to a solid recovery in exports and business investment.”
Canada’s central bank also noted that financial conditions remain highly accommodative, while highlighting higher asset prices. “Commodity prices have risen further, notably oil, and the Canadian dollar has seen a further appreciation,” the statement said.
The June statement reiterated that the Canadian economic recover still requires “extraordinary monetary policy support,” with the central bank adding that it will keep rates unchanged until its 2% inflation target has been achieved on a sustainable basis, which is said to be around the second half of 2022.
“The Bank is continuing its QE program to reinforce this commitment and keep interest rates low across the yield curve,” the statement said. “While CPI inflation will likely remain near 3 percent through the summer, it is expected to ease later in the year, as base-year effects diminish and excess capacity continues to exert downward pressure.”
One big unknown is the spread of the new COVID-19 variants and how that will impact the economic recovery.
“More broadly, the risks to the inflation outlook identified in the April MPR remain relevant,” Canada’s central bank said.
In reaction to the news, spot gold priced in Canadian dollars edged down, last trading at $2,283.78, down 0.35% on the day.
Economists said the Bank of Canada decided not to rock the boat as the country is still coming out from the third wave of the virus.
“There's not much market reaction likely to follow the announcement since there really wasn't much new information contained in it,” said CIBC senior economist Royce Mendes. “While the Bank will likely need to taper purchases again this summer, the latest announcement reinforced the commitment to keep rates low by continuing to target a pace of $3bn dollars worth of quantitative easing purchases per week.”

Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is set to spend P29 billion pesos in the next 18 months to finance its expansion across the country, the same amount the company made from its initial public offering (IPO) on Monday.
In a virtual briefing, Converge chief financial advisor Matthias Vukovich said the company will continue to accelerate its network expansion, with a goal of capturing 55% of the total Philippine households by 2025.
"Looking ahead, we have plans to deploy about 29 billion pesos or 600 million US dollars of capex (capital expenditure) in the next 18 months to roll out our network to tens of thousands of communities across the Philippines," he said.
Converge on Monday generated the same amount from its market debut, making it the largest IPO in peso terms, and the second-largest overall IPO after Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc.'s $627 million in 2013.
Some P4.856 billion came from domestic demand, while the cornerstone investment of over P10.930 billion -- from OMERS, Genesis, Thornburg and Macquarie -- covered approximately 40% of the base offering. Investments from blue-chip long-only institutional investors account for over 80%.
"The primary proceeds raised from this IPO will help us accelerate the growth plans allowing us to remain at the forefront of capturing this massive market of internet," said Vukovich.
As of the first half of the year, Vukovich said the company continues to deliver a 65% revenue growth, and 51% margins on its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
"We are fully committed to building the largest fiber broadband network in the Philippines and to providing affordable and reliable high-speed internet connectivity to millions of Filipinos nationwide," said Converge founder and chief executive officer Dennis Anthony Uy.
"Our extensive, proprietary end-to-end fiber broadband network will enable us to support the digitalization of the Philippine economy," he added.
Converge in July said it would spend P33 billion for the remainder of 2020 and the rest of 2021 for the development and expansion of its national backbone, provincial backbone, and last-mile connectivity.
As of 12 noon Monday, Converge shares were trading at P15.36 apiece, down by P1.44 or 8.57% from its IPO price of P16.80. Shares opened Monday at P16.78 apiece. — RSJ, GMA News

Paperback: 96 pages
Publisher: Studio Foglio (1 Jul 2002)
Category(ies): Science Fiction (Graphic Novel)
The first volume of the collected Agatha Heterodyne adventures, this is a fairly slim (but consequently relatively cheap) volume. It's also all in monochrome, except the bonus story at the end. The Agatha Heterodyne adventures are set in a weird steam-punk Mittel Europe which seems to be recovering from some (as yet unspecified) disaster. Agatha Clay is a Spark - a scientist genius type - though she doesn't know it yet. And she's also the heir of the famous Heterodynes, though again, she doesn't know that. Indeed, by the end of this volume, no-one is yet aware of who she is, though Gilgamesh Wulfenbach may have a suspicion.
The Foglios' style is madcap - there's a richness in the drawings and the writing that really brings this world to life. They're currently working on volume 6 - I'm currently working on getting all the preceding volumes.
Where Agatha starts. And where you should, too. (But see also Girl Genius 101 Online to get a flavour.)

Enzyme coffee, an innovative brew, employs enzymes during the roasting phase to enhance flavor and amplify its health advantages. Integrating enzymes into the coffee beans while roasting assists in the decomposition of bean proteins, unveiling their intrinsic tastes and fragrances.
A standout feature of enzyme coffee is its velvety and reduced acidic profile compared to traditional coffee. This characteristic renders it more palatable and can alleviate common coffee-induced gastric issues like acid reflux and heartburn.
The health-centric attributes of enzyme coffee are noteworthy. The introduction of enzymes during roasting facilitates easier digestion of the bean proteins. This can augment the uptake of the coffee’s vital nutrients and antioxidants, potentially bolstering immunity and offering protection against various ailments.
Moreover, enzyme coffee possesses anti-inflammatory attributes. The inherent enzymes can curtail inflammation, potentially diminishing the susceptibility to chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.
Various techniques exist to brew enzyme coffee, but cold brewing is particularly favored. In this method, coffee beans are immersed in water for about 3 hours. This prolonged immersion allows enzymes to disintegrate the proteins, releasing the bean’s flavors and scents. Once done, the brew is sieved and presented cold, providing a revitalizing and healthier twist on the conventional hot coffee.
In essence, enzyme coffee is not just a flavorful beverage but a health-enhancing one too. With its silky, low-acidity profile combined with a plethora of health benefits, it’s no wonder health-conscious coffee aficionados are gravitating towards it.
There are several different methods for making enzyme coffee, but one of the most popular is the cold brew method. To make cold brew enzyme coffee, the coffee beans are soaked in water for 3 hours, allowing the enzymes to break down the beans’ proteins and release their flavors and aromas. Next, the coffee poured through a strainer and served chilled, making it a refreshing and healthy alternative to regular hot coffee.
Overall, enzyme coffee is a delicious and healthy alternative to regular coffee. Its smooth, less acidic taste and multiple health benefits make it a popular choice among coffee lovers looking to improve their health and well being.

Culture of Hanami By TID, Spring 2011 update
Hanami, as you may already know, literally translates to "flower viewing." It's a party that people hold under a cherry blossom tree when it's in full bloom. This is a very big and important event during the year. Some people go to their favorite viewing locations the night before to ensure that they get the spot. Popular parks are filled with people to a point where it's almost impossible to walk around. But, if you ever experienced it, I'm sure you'll be able to understand why most people make it an annual event with their families and friends, even with all that effort. Enjoying delicious food and drinks with your closest friends and family under the beautiful cherry blossoms is an experience you'll never forget.
The relationship between the Japanese and sakura (cherry blossoms) goes way back. The tradition of the hanami is said to have begun in the 8th century, and it's been a big part of Japanese culture ever since. There's even such a thing called sakura-zensen, which literally means cherry blossom front that is announced every year by the Japan Meteorological Agency to inform people when the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in their area because cherry blossom are usually in full bloom for only 2 weeks.
The importance of cherry blossom to Japanese culture can be easily seen from the fact that it's represented on 100 yen coins. The reason why I believe most Japanese are attracted to cherry blossom is because this flower represents the Japanese mentality. The fact that it endures all year for a short but extremely beautiful life, follwed by an even more beautiful death when the petals fall, represents the core value that many Japanese people have held since the days of the samurai. This is probably the reason why cherry blossoms are used in songs, painting, poems, and many other art forms in Japan.
-Popular Cherry Blossom Viewing Locations-
Here are a few great locations to view cherry blossoms.
Right along the Shukugawa River is a famous area for cherry blossom viewing . It's one of the most popular places for a hanami, so it could get very busy especially on the weekends.

|Access:||Start from Hankyu Line Shukugawa Station and walk south along the river.

Tarumi, located in Yabu city, is famous for the oldest, largest cherry blossom tree in the prefecture. Also known as sennen-sakura, which means millenium cherry blossom. It's located in the park, so having a picnic by this amazing tree is a great way to spend a warm spring afternoon.

United States: Senate passes Syria, anti-BDS bill
The legislation imposes new sanctions on Syria and boosts the US military alliances with neighbours of war-torn Syria including Israel and Jordan.
Washington: United States Senate on Tuesday approved legislation which includes a provision warning US President Donald Trump not to precipitously withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Syria until terrorist groups in the regions are destroyed.
The bill passed on a broad bipartisan vote, 77 to 23, reported CNN. Furthermore, the legislation imposes new sanctions on Syria and boosts the US military alliances with neighbours of war-torn Syria including Israel and Jordan.
This move will also make it easier for states and localities to approve laws to combat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or BDS, a movement against Israel.However, the Democrats are divided on the BDS element of the bill as some of them are saying it hinders the free-speech rights of the American citizens to support boycott efforts against Israel for its treatment of Palestinians and other concerns.
Democrats also alleged that the Republicans purposefully added the BDS provision to a package that otherwise has bipartisan support to put political pressure on Democrats to vote against a bill that is viewed as pro-Israel.22 of 47 Democrats voted against the bill.It is pertinent to note that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is a Republican, authored the amendment urging Trump to keep troops in Syria and Afghanistan.

Chester Kaszmir Ulrych
April 14, 1922 – June 30, 2018
Obituary for Chester Ulrych (1922-2018)
Chester Kazimierz Ulrych, age 96, of 1700 Prospect Avenue, Croydon, PA died on Saturday 30 June 2018. He was born on 14 April 1922 in Philadelphia, PA to Kazimierz Ulrych and Maryanna Slowacka Ulrych. In 1928 his family re-emigrated to Poland, and Chester Ulrych spent his childhood in Lódź, Poland. In September 1939 the city was taken by German troops and incorporated as Litzmannstadt into the Third Reich (unlike much of pre-war Poland which was administered as an occupied territory). All Polish schools beyond the 8th grade were closed, so Chester Ulrych was unable to continue his education; however, as a native born citizen of the United States he was able to avoid many German restrictions on personal freedom until December 1941, when German declared war on the United States. In the spring of 1942, Chester Ulrych was taken for forced labor to Germany, where he spent the rest of the war years – primarily in the city of Rostock. It was there that he was compelled to work at the Heinkel Flugzeugwerke producing military aircraft. He was witness to the early testing of German jet planes, which were first developed at this facility. Heavy Allied bombing in 1944 demolished the specific factory where Chester Ulrych was assigned, and at war’s end he found himself in Hamburg, Germany. In the post-war period he found employment as a truck driver for the British Army. During this time he earned his GED with the assistance of the Polish Red Cross. In 1949 he learned from his step brother, Elek Ulrych, of the worsening situation in communist Poland, and he decided not to return to Poland. Through the offices of the American Red Cross he was repatriated to the United States. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1950 and soon married Eugenia Gąsinska, whom he had known as a child. They had two children, Dana Ulrych Laub and Richard Ulrych. In 1957 the young couple moved from Philadelphia to Croydon, which afforded Chester the opportunity to pursue his passion for gardening. He worked as a machine operator in the Philadelphia area for over thirty years. In 1984 he retired from Janney Cylinder Company. With his wife he was active in the Polish American community. He was a long time member of the Polish National Alliance, Polish Home of Philadelphia, the Polish American Congress and was a supporter of the Polish American Cultural Center of Philadelphia. He had a full life and had the opportunity to see his two grandchildren (Andrew and David Laub) grow to maturity and to have their own children (Walker and Caleb Laub). It was only in the last year of his life that he became so infirmed that he could not pursue his many interests. His passing is a sorrow to family and friends.

There are so many favorite memories with my Uncle Chester. One is walking in his backyard garden and eating fresh tomatoes right off the vine. He truly had a green thumb. The other is the awesome model train he would set up in this living room during the Christmas holidays. I was memorized by the little trains, twinkling Christmas tree lights and was surrounded by the love of family at our annual family Christmas dinner hosted by my Aunt and Uncle. Uncle Chester always had a quick smile and a warm greeting whenever I saw him.

Tim Leeds Havre Daily News email@example.com
The staff of a new clinic several years in the making has been hard at work in its first week providing dental care on the top floor of the Atrium Mall. “We’ve been pretty busy this week,” Dr. Bob English, the new dentist at the Bullhook dental clinic in Havre, said Thursday. “We’ve seen probably 40 patients.” The clinic is part of the operations of the Bullhook Community Health Center and is part of its effort to increase and coordinate health care in the area. Funding and donations jump-start the clinic Bullhook was awarded a $185,000 grant from the state last year in the second round of awards in a program intended to increase dental care in Montana. The Havre clinic, which identified increasing dental care in the area as a primary goal shortly after its initial creation in 2005, was not selected in the first round of awards. Bullhook also had $85,000 from its federal funding to use for the creation of the clinic. Cindy Smith, Bullhook’s executive director, said many people, groups and businesses in the community and around the state came forward to help with the creation of the dental clinic, ranging from cash donations to donations of equipment, furniture and work, and discounts and donations of products to upgrade the space in the Atrium into a dental facility. “People were great about this,” Smith said. The state and federal funds and the generosity of the individuals, businesses and groups have allowed the creation of the clinic, which Smith said took a large amount of funds to get into operation. The clinic is open to all people, and also offers a sliding-fee scale depending on income. The minimum charge is $45 a visit, up to full charge for people with higher incomes. The clinic also accepts insurance payments, and as well as Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which are not usable at some dental offices. Smith said the clinic should become self-supporting if enough people use its services the key is its being used, she said. While Bullhook receives federal funding to pay for the sliding- fee scale the government money offsets the cost difference the rest of the payments are what pay for the operation of the health center and the clinic, she saA full-service dental clinic English said that, so far, he has been able to take care of every patient who has come to the Bullhook dental clinic. “We have not turned anybody away yet,” he said. “I’ve seen everybody who walks through the door.” English, originally from Alaska, earned undergraduate degrees in chemistry, biochemistry and mathematics from the University of Alaska in Anchorage before receiving his dental degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. He also spent a year at Harvard doing post-doctorate work. He began practicing dentistry nearly 20 years ago and has practiced in California and Montana. He said that last fall he met Smith and became interested in the opportunity to work at the Havre clinic. “It sounded like a really good opportunity for me,” English said. He added that he has liked being in Havre while the geography is different, the people remind him of home. “The folks remind me of Alaska,” English said. “It’s very warm and welcoming. I feel pretty well at home here.” English has dived right into his work, and will participate in local work as well he is scheduled to participate in the children is dental screening clinics with other local dentists in April. Smith said English’s practice has fit right into the community so far. “He’s a great dentist and is good with people,” she said. The work being done at the clinic so far is fullservice care, with fillings, cleaning, crowns, root canals, pulling teeth and oral surgery part of the care offered. English said that while some procedures should probably be referred to specialists and some techniques cannot be offered yet, the services are likely to expand. That will be especially true when the next dentist, Michael Huff, who will receive his degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry in May, comes on board in June. “We’ll see all the patients,” English said. “We will do it if we can and if not we will have to send on (to other dentists), he said. The clinic is already staffed, with more workers on the way. Michael Huff’s mother, Kathy Huff, has already moved to Havre and is working as the clinic’s receptionist. Judy Keeling is working as a dental assistant, with Heather Wolf working as an assistant-intraining. The clinic also has a dental hygienist, Anna Hallgrimson, scheduled to start working today. Smith said the clinic also has a couple more workers scheduled to come to work once Huff arrives to start his work in Havre. She added that the highest priority, at least at first, will be in seeing children, pregnant women and people in pain due to dental problems. However, the clinic will schedule appointments for anyone as time is available, she said. A plethora of donations and work Smith said the community has come forward with a high level of support for the clinic, with the number of people contributing too long to list in full. A class at Montana State University-Northern did a fund-raising drive for the clinic, and community fund-raisers have also been held by Bullhook. Businesses, including NorthWestern Energy also have stepped forward with donations. Work by people on the Bullhook staff, including former public relations director Tina Petersen, was instrumental in getting the state and federal funds, Smith added. Donations of time, work, and equipment and furnishings also were crucial in the creation of the facility, she said. Smith said some of those contributors include local insurance agent Ruth Wolery, members of the Bullhook board of directors that board also oversees the operation of the dental clinic, work by Dan Whittaker, the MSU-Northern football team helping with the remodeling of the clinic, Barkus Homecenter giving a discount on paint and supplies, help from Valley furniture, the family of Scott Durward donating paint and helping with the remodeling, and the work of local contractors in getting the facility ready including Mike Holt and Schine Electric. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, closed for lunch from noon to 1 p. m. Smith said people can call 265-3021 to make an appointment, and they should keep trying if they receive a busy signal or the phone isn’t answered at first the line is pretty busy, she said. “They need to be patient. There’s lots of people calling in,” Smith said.id.


STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's official: Republican Ronald Castorina Jr. is running unopposed for the vacant South Shore Assembly seat.
While political insiders opined that the Democratic Party had no one interested in contending for the seat on the heavily Republican South Shore, it was confirmed Wednesday that the city Board of Elections had not received word from the party that they had a candidate.
Parties had 10 days from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Jan. 30 announcement to pick their candidates for the special election on April 19.
There are no primary elections when a special election is set, leaving it up to the county committees for the various parties to choose their nominees.
The city Board of elections confirmed Wednesday that they had not received anything from the Democrats, which had through Tuesday to pick a candidate.
Democratic Party Chairman John Gulino didn't return a call for comment.

Originality is dead. Let’s steal.
It’s easy to feel like you don’t belong or like you weren’t meant to be here – as an artist or a creative, as an activist or even just as a person (you’re always welcomed here). A lot of the time, we feel like phonies, as Holden Caulfield would say.
Meet imposter syndrome – a psychological occurrence where an educated or otherwise knowledgeable person feels out of place or inadequate in the position they are in. They feel like they don’t stack up to their peers. Those who experience imposter syndrome cannot fathom or internalize their own successes and accomplishments. As an artist, an academic, a creative, I often experience imposter syndrome. Activists – people who want to use their voices and skills to incite change for the better – often feel like this (note: anyone can be an activist).
These constant feelings wash over me. “Am I making something new? Something exciting, unique? Original?” Or the biggest one yet, “do I actually know what I am doing here?” The answer may surprise you, and the answer is almost always no. But, does that mean we don’t belong? That we don’t have accomplishments to be proud of? Also no. The buzzword here is originality. For me, imposter syndrome and the fear of my work lacking originality go hand-in-hand.
What is originality anyway? I often find that trying to create something “original” stymies the creative process and hinders what great work you could be making. Jean Baudrillard and Walter Benjamin, philosophers of art and media, both talk about how in the age of digital reproduction, nothing is wholly “original” in the traditional sense that it is unlike anything we have ever seen or known. Baudrillard argues that almost everything we know, see, read or speak is, in one form or another, a representation of another representation (mind blown… probably). For a philosophic deep dive on these topics, turn to Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation (fun fact: his work inspired The Matrix series). For a more user-friendly take on copying and recycling ideas, styles and essences, turn to Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative.”
A little less heavy on the media studies jargon, Austin Kleon provides an accessible exploration into what it means to be an artist today and ways to break through, be seen, be heard, be confident in the work you’re putting out there. Of course you can argue all day and night over what it means to be an “artist” or what “art” even is. I define artist as anyone who creates thought- and discourse-stimulating visual media items (sculptures, video, sound, painting, etc.), writing, performances, so on and so forth. He cracks open the topic of originality and stealing as an artist. He argues that it is overrated and almost impossible to be original. All of the great artists got started by looking towards other artists and copying them incessantly. If we try to “be creative” by attempting originality, nothing would ever be created. Once tackling and repeating this idea to yourself, imposter syndrome could begin to fade away.
“If I’d waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started“being creative,” well, I’d still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it’s in the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are. You might be scared to start. That’s natural. —
Nobody is born with a style or a voice. We don’t come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. We learn by copying. We’re talking about practice here, not plagiarism – plagiarism is trying to pass someone else’s work off as your own. Copying is about reverse-engineering.”
Whether you’re an artist, an activist or just a person with thoughts and feelings, it’s hard to find your voice when you feel like you shouldn’t even have one in the first place (read: Can I Hold The Mic?). I think Austin Kleon’s book can help break through to the understanding that a lot of people feel the same way you do, and to get over that hump you just have to start creating with no inhibitions or reservations towards being unoriginal.
We are all products of other people, other creations, other photographers, other politicians and community leaders, other songs, other sculptures and drawings. Michelangelo began his journey by copying the drawings and paintings of Domenico Ghirlandaio during his apprenticeship. The Beatles started as a cover band. Copying your heroes is the first foothold secured on whatever path you find yourself on to making art you’re proud of and acknowledging your own successes that allow you to be in your current position.
Francis Ford Coppola assures us, “We want you to take from us. We want you, at first, to steal from us, because you can’t steal. You will take what we give you and you will put it in your own voice and that’s how you will find your own voice. And that’s how you begin. And then one day someone will steal from you.” This is just another way of considering how one uses “inspiration” to fuel their work. It’s all part of the process. When cognizant of how we use other people’s work in our own, it may be uncomfortable. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable will help us to push forward into finding our own voices, styles, rhythms.
“At some point, you’ll have to move on from imitating your heroes to emulating them. Imitation is about copying. Emulation is when imitation goes one step further, breaking through into your own thing.” (38)
So, go forth. Recognize that copying others is okay… to an extent. Originality is dead. Unreachable in our traditional sense of the word. Redefine what it means to be original and unique.
Copy. Study. Credit. Transform. Remix and alter. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. It leads to you and how your brain creates things around others’ ideas. Your brain has the ability to take the work of others, put that shit together and make something new.

I wanted to share a photo of this wonderful shelf with you today. I've changed my blog title picture so I can see this now. I saw this shelf in Country Sampler a few years ago, I loved the gals house, perfectly prim to my taste. My husband made this one for me based on the photograph. I only had to tell him how long I wanted it and to draw out the shape of the ends. The hooks were hand forged by a local blacksmith, they have a twisted shank, very unique. The only problem with them for my perfectionist woodworking husband was that they were all slightly different lengths. He is "working on" his prim style. Everything has to be just so and he doesn't understand my desire to rough up his perfectly made items!
A few of my favorite crocks make their home on the shelf. All those on the left are antiques, my favorite being the first one in. The marking on it says "C. Hart & Son, Sherburne". This is the town that I grew up in, so it's very special to me. The second one in I purchased at an auction. My husband's Aunt and Uncle were downsizing and auctioned off a lot of "stuff". That one's special because I always think of Aunt Rosie when I see it.
All the crocks/bowls on the right are new. The first one in on the right side is from the potters at Conner Prairie, a living history museum in Indiana. The second one from the right was made by the potter at Sauder Village, a living history museum here in Ohio. It is one of the first items fired in his new wood ash kiln a couple of years ago. The third one in is a birthday present from my friend Melissa at Farm Field Primitives.
Of course there has to be a star mixed in, this one was made from tobacco crate slats. Don't you love the doll chair? I was going to have my husband fix the back rung but decided that I like it the way it is. I purchased it at an auction for $2.00

Family-run fish restaurant in Moneglia
In the heart of Moneglia, in a picturesque square in the historic centre, there is Ristorante Vela, where the chef Paolo Compiano amazes every guest with exceptional dishes linked to the Ligurian tradition. The restaurant chooses local ingredients and fish of high quality coming from the seas of our peninsula and, in particular, from our Ligurian Sea. This ensures greater freshness and gives a more intense flavour to our dishes.
The care with which we prepare each dish is the same as that with which you will be welcomed in our restaurant, where every customer is an important guest. In 1975, Paolo decided, together with his wife Imelda, to open a restaurant that fully represented him. Vela is indeed a sunny and genuine fish restaurant, with dishes that are based solely on the raw ingredients of the Ligurian sea and land. Fabrizio, chef Paolo Compiano’s son, has been working alongside his parents since 1985 and therefore knows all the secrets of a cuisine of the highest quality.
The family is carrying the business on preparing the best traditional Ligurian fish dishes and combining freshness, imagination and creativity.
Our menu is always fresh, appetisers are the fresh products of the day, such as the crudités, with the best catch of the day! Each dish reflects the tradition of the typical Ligurian cuisine, with a touch of creativity. Obviously, the first courses hold a place of honour. It is worth mentioning the spaghetti with ‘Vela’ seafood, which have become a classic, risotto alla pescatora (‘fisherman style’), linguine with anglerfish, the classic trofie with pesto, pansoti with walnut sauce and ravioli aù tuccù.
The typical Ligurian cuisine has many historical main courses, such as Ligurian style fish, a simple but very tasty dish. You will also find all the classic second courses based on fish such as the fish-fry of the gulf or the mixed grill. Each dish can be prepared with ingredients suitable for people with coeliac disease or those with other needs. If you are not a fan of fish, there is also a wide choice of meat and different vegetarian or vegan options.
At Ristorante Vela, you can accompany each dish with a different wine. Our wine list is indeed very extensive, including many local labels or labels from other Italian regions. Precisely because freshness is of the utmost importance to us, the ‘menu of the day’ offers new dainties with fresh fish and seasonal delicacies every time.

What was the author's purpose for writing Maniac Magee?
This is an extremely enjoyable story that focuses on the life of the protagonist, the eponymous hero of the novel, Jeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee, who, in spite of various problems in his life, manages to accomplish almost mythical feats and have a massive impact on the people around him. However, when the author's purpose is considered, it could be viewed that Spinelli is trying to accomplish something more than merely recording the feats of an extraordinary young man. This can be seen through the way in which the city in which Maniac Magee settles is strictly segregated between blacks and whites. On the one hand, Spinelli seems to defy expectations of his readers by making the Beale family far more loving, sympathetic and caring than the white family that Maniac Magee is a part of for a while. However, the overwhelming message of the novel seems to focus on the similarities between blacks and whites rather than the differences. Thanks to Magee's habit of jogging everywhere at night, he is able to see both sides of the city, black and white, together, and this results in the following reflection:
...black and white would only begin when alarm clocks rang... before sunrise, there were no divisions; no barriers. There were only the people, the families, the town.
Note how the quote focuses on "the people, the families, the town," rather than identifying the racial split that occurs so sadly during the day. This novel then could be argued to be a plea for racial tolerance. Maniac Magee is a young man who is shown to be colour blind in his dealings with people, and as a result, he is able to have massively meaningful relationships with those around him. The challenge to the reader is to be similarly colour blind.

Lately the television world was smothered in Olympics madness, so none of my favorite shows have been on. As such, I decided to actually read a book again, and was pleased to rediscover an author you should all obsess over, my Internet friends. Born in Nagasaki, but raised in the UK, this pristinely skilled novelist is well worth a literary exploration. Just as a disclaimer, though, his novels ain’t all smiley.
At present, the most likely scenario is that you’ve seen or at least heard of the film, Never Let Me Go, a dystopian flavored alternate future in which clones are used as organ transplant vessels and small contingencies of folks try to humanize said clones at special academies. The story, a crushing, introspective look at a weirdly possible future, doesn’t translate that magnificently to film, but the original novel, Ishiguro’s latest, is mind-bogglingly good. So, if you’ve been acquainted with the film and not thought much of it, the book is worth a few reads at least.
Never Let Me Go, although Ishiguro’s most recent novel, is actually a decent place to start with the novelist. It’s meticulously crafted and beautifully somber, much like the other five novels in the writer’s bibliography. Ishiguro’s work is marked by very detailed prose, careful narration (the littlest moments are turned over and over in characters’ minds), and themes such as inaction and reconciliation with often unfulfilling pasts. The writer chooses to write in the first person, and each character he graces us with carries an emotional richness that unfolds at a gracefully glacial pace.
For new readers, Never Let Me Go (one of several of his nominated for a Booker prize) is probably the best to start with because of its relatability and peppering of science fiction, but his other novels and short stories are also brutally amazing. Remains of the Day, arguably his best novel in terms of literary richness and style, is a gorgeous novel about a butler named Stevens who recounts many a memory of his time in the profession, slowly revealing his pains and regrets in the process. Winner of the 1989 Booker, this novel is a lush and sad story that deserves two readings at least.
The Unconsoled is another of Ishiguro’s titles that is nonsensically amazing. Seriously, this novel is mind blowing, so much so that book critics panned it upon its release. The novel, which follows a piano virtuoso named Ryder’s odd experiences in a mysterious central European town, has a surreal, almost real time style that is not easy at first, but will surely suck you in. Critics were unhappy with the book, because it was weirder and harder to follow than Ishiguro’s other, more straightforward stories, but Ishiguro’s fourth novel is a crazy, fantastical ride that will question your own memories and make you wonder if you’ve ever really been conscious at all (maybe that’s just me).
Ishiguro’s other novels include A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World, two lovely narratives based in Japan and showing the writer’s early obsession with the past; there’s also When We Were Orphans, most likely his weakest, but still a very well-written and entertaining detective story that deals with many of his constant themes. If you don’t have time to read an entire book (because of all your business meetings and the Internet), try getting ahold of Ishiguro’s collection of short stories, Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall.
In this day and age, media moves really, really quickly, so it’s difficult to plop down into an armchair and crack open an analog paper object (Kindle’s are still weird to me), even more so if the book is slower in pace. Ishiguro, though, is well worth the time spent curled up and turning pages the old way. His narratives tenderly draw you in, and almost politely invite you to join in the reflection of any of his narrators. Ishiguro’s style tiptoes around brutal truths and harsh realizations of the past in a way that shows the writer to be a true master. Seriously, Internet friends, take some time and read everything this guy’s ever written. You won’t regret it (and if you do, then maybe he’ll turn that same feeling into unparalleled art).


As @NSDCars5 stated, I mean the opposite.
USB drives (aka thumbdrives, jump drives, flash drives, etc are all the same thing ) have a finite amount of times data can be written to them before they fail.
If you write too much too often then the drive will fail and you will lose everything. This means storing the virtual machines on the flash drive is a TERRIBLE idea.
Having them on an external hard drive ensures that the flash drive is only facilitating the usage of the machines. This means that the drive would last at least ten times longer.
Another tip is that flash drives don't warn before they crash, it is immediate and permanent...It is also very hard to get data off a crashed USB drive...I learned that the hard way years ago.

Tetracyclines are a group of closely related bacteriostatic antibiotics with similar antibacterial spectra. Tetracyclines are used extensively in veterinary medicine and their use in food producing animals could result in potentially harmful concentrations in tissue, organs and milk. Oxytetracyclines are part of the Tetracycline group and are widely used as growth promoters in animal husbandry and agriculture.
Seeing the considerable amounts of tetracyclines used worldwide, monitoring of these antibiotics is paramount. In recent years the European Union and United States have enforced prohibitions and restrictions for tetracyclines in order to combat tetracycline resistance and tetracycline bacteria in feedstuff.

Victoria Anthony isn’t your run-of-the-mill new artist. Refreshingly wise beyond her years, her debut album, Real Life, and its preceding singles, Real Life, Sleep and Gotta Get Up, are the culmination of her relentless work ethic, undeniable talent, and involvement that goes beyond simply being a voice on a song. Featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday, It’s A Bop, Pop All Day & Contemporary Blend, her album has hit over 1.1mm streams on Spotify and over 2 million views on YouTube. From writing, production, recording, mixing and mastering, she has been attentive to every detail leading up to the release, including the conceptualization of her branding, album artwork, music videos and more.
Her first exposure to the masses came when she got the rare chance of singing to her idol, superstar recording artist P!nk, in front of 20,000 spectators at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The video garnered worldwide press coverage and millions of views on YouTube which led Anthony to start writing her own original music and working with some of the music industry's top producers and songwriters.
“The meaning behind this album is about living in the moment and going for what you want,” she declared. It’s also about experiencing both the good and bad parts of life and the fulfillment that comes from that. The lyric from Real Life, “It’s the journey that makes it beautiful” really says it all. ‘I don’t wanna sleep’ and ‘There’s a spark in my system burning for days’ both stem from just being so engaged and in love with life, that you do not want to stop, even for something as vital as sleep. I see the song as an accurate metaphor for life.”

HOUSE IN MONSARAZ 2018
Faced with the boundless extents of the Alqueva lake, the house requires a centre: a protected courtyard embracing the water. It uses the terrain to cast a dome that covers the social areas and is the life centre of the house. An inverted dome intersects it and creates an opening that lights the space, shaping its precise geometry and limits. The bedrooms open onto circular patios. Amid a wide natural landscape, the scale of the house is that of the patios and superior dome. They are the sole visible elements, painted in radiant white.

The American electorate prefers Democratic nominee for President Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump by 10 points — 51 to 41% — a Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters published on Thursday finds.
When Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party Candidate Jill Stein are included in the poll, that lead shrinks to 45% support for Clinton compared to 38% support for Trump (Johnson and Stein received 10% and 4% respectively). Quinnipiac found that non-white voters and women voters accounted largely for Clinton’s nationwide lead.
The differences between the groups and their counterparts are significant: Women back Clinton over Trump 60–36%, the poll found, while men back Trump over Clinton 48–42%. The trend is similar for non-white voters, who back Clinton 77–15%, versus white voters, who back Trump 52–41%.
The results also showed that regardless of who they’re voting for, most people polled (62%) believe that Clinton will win the election, while only 28% believe Trump will win.
Quinnipiac called 1,498 likely voters nationwide between August 18 and 24 to conduct the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.5%.

If you’re an American expat living in the Philippines like I am, along with thousands of others, you probably keep a close eye on the Philippine Peso exchange rate versus the United States Dollar. This is a topic that has explored before on PhilippinesPlus.com, and a popular topic on other American expat sites. With some recent comments (thanks, Gary!) that alerted me to some recent dire predictions of an exchange rate of PHP 37.50 to $1 in 2011 and PHP 35.50 in 2012 from HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp) made this past Wednesday. The bank forecast a stronger Philippine peso this year and next as a “result of the Philippine Central Bank’s strong support for the country’s currency to ease the impact of inflation caused by soaring oil and food prices.” That according to a recent report in All Headline News.
However, the same report states that last week the Philippine Central Bank also revised its forecast to an average exchange rate of PHP 42 to 45 to 1 USD from a previous range of PHP 45 to 47, much higher than the HSBC forecast. In 2010, the average exchange rate was PHP 45.12.
The weakening of the US dollar versus the Philippine Peso has adversely impacted our budget at “The Compound.” When we arrived in the Philippines in July 2009, the exchange rate was 48.01. So for a exchange of $1,000 USD from July 2009 versus exchange done in February 2011, when our exchange rate was 43.74, that is a loss of about 97 USD. That is a big chunk of income to lose when you’re already on a fixed income as we are. This past Friday the rate stood at 43.37, and has been on a downward trend.
Hopefully, the actual exchange will be more in line with what the Philippine Central Bank is predicting. Frankly, with the ongoing investigations into the corrupt practices of the Philippine military, along with other widespread corruption in the Philippine government, I’m surprised the peso is as strong as it is.
However, with the possibility that Taiwan, the third largest employer of OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) threatening the jobs of almost 80,000 Filipino workers due to a diplomatic row the Taiwanese government is having with the Philippine government, this would drastically cut the amount of OFW taxes coming in to the Philippines government and would sharply curtail remittances coming in to the country. I would suspect that such a scenario would have a negative impact on the peso and the economy.
So if you’re planning to retire to the Philippines, don’t let the wild fluctuations you read about concerning the PHP vs. the USD concern you too much. We’ve managed to do just fine despite the reduction in the exchange rate, and have made budget cuts where we could. One money saving idea we have implemented for the past several months is using a jeepney in Iloilo instead of cabs.
A jeepney ride across town costs P7.50 (17 cents.) A taxi ride the same distance can now run about P80 (about 1.84 US Dollars.) That’s a savings of $3.34 each trip to Iloilo since we used to go back and forth always using the cabs. Figure about four trips a month to the city now saves us $13.36. It’s not much but it adds up.
We’re also going to be opening up a bank account soon in the Philippines which will mean we’ll save money on our ATM fees. BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands) recently started charging an additional P200 (4.61 USD) for each withdrawal on top of other bank fees, so that will save us a substantial amount each month, also. In the new BPI fees alone it will save us around 23 USD a month. So there are ways to economize and work around the peso to dollar fluctuations. We’re in it for the long haul, and plan to stay living in the Philippines, where it is still much cheaper, we find, than living in the United States.

Hot Rolled Steel Strip
Steel Strip with thinner thickness, narrower width and longer length. Its width is generally between 20 mm and 200 mm. Volume supply, specifications expressed in thickness * width. According to the quality of steel, it can be divided into high quality and common strip, hot rolling and cold rolling, which are called hot rolling strip and cold rolling strip respectively. Hot-rolled common strip is 2 mm-6 mm thick, cold-rolled strip is 0.05 mm-3.60 mm. Strip steel can be made of plain carbon steel, carbon-bonded steel, spring steel, tool steel, stainless steel, etc. Widely used in manufacturing welded pipe, clamp, washer, spring blade, saw blade, blade, etc.
Cold Rolled Steel Coils
Cold rolled steel coil is the steel produced by cold rolling. Cold rolling is the process of further rolling steel sheet to target thickness at room temperature. Compared with hot-rolled steel sheet, cold-rolled steel sheet is more precise in thickness, smooth and beautiful in surface, and has various superior mechanical properties, especially in processing performance. Because the cold-rolled coil is brittle and hard, it is not suitable for processing, so the cold-rolled steel plate usually requires annealing, pickling and surface leveling before being delivered to customers. The maximum thickness of cold rolling is less than 0.1-8.0MM, for example, the thickness of cold rolled steel plate in most factories is less than 4.5MM, and the minimum thickness and width are determined according to the equipment capacity and market demand of each factory.
Galvanized Steel H Beam
H-section steel is a kind of economic section high-efficiency profile with more optimized section area distribution and more reasonable strength-weight ratio. It is named because its section is the same as the English letter "H".

SEMI SWEER RED // ITALY
RATE THIS WINE
Click below to let us know if you liked this wine.
NOT TOO SWEET, NOT TOO DRY - JUST RIGHT.
Goldilocks would definitely have this medium-bodied, semi-sweet red wine from Italy stocked in her kitchen. Solo Reflections is perfect for fruity wine lovers who don’t care for anything that tastes too strong. Instead, the bold nature of this wine comes from its berry fruit: raspberry, strawberry, and cherry are followed by an elegant rose aroma.
GET ONE THAT CAN DO BOTH.
The beauty of a semi-sweet red like Solo Reflections is that it goes with dinner and dessert. And you don’t want to miss out on some of the pairing suggestions we have for you.
For dinner, sip this delicious wine alongside barbecue wings, french fries, honey-baked ham, prosciutto, and aged cheese. Don’t be afraid to try it alongside spicier dishes, too, which will balance the sweetness in Solo Reflections beautifully.
And for dessert? You can’t go wrong with classic cheesecake, chocolate fondue, berry cobbler, or vanilla ice cream.
ARE SWEET WINES MADE BY ADDING SUGAR TO WINE?
You’ll be pleased to know that Solo Reflections didn’t achieve that pristine sweet note by adding sugar. Like most sweet wines, the sugar in this wine developed naturally in the grapes, instead. During fermentation, some of that sugar was turned into alcohol, and the rest was left in the wine to give it that decadence that you love so much.

This pilot study on the construction of socio-economic indicators was initiated by the Sub-Committee on Social Science, Scientific Advisory Committee, of the GFCM. It was carried out in collaboration with FAO/FIPP and COPEMED. The study focussed on a particular GFCM management unit, the Alboran Sea, in the hope that results would be applicable to other GFCM management units and the Mediterranean as a whole. The Alboran Sea was selected because it encompasses stocks shared between a developing (Morocco) and a developed (Spain) country, as well as a wide range of fishing operations typical of what can be found elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
Several unexpected constraints arose in the course of the pilot study. The main difficulty was unavailability of certain data necessary for a thorough elaboration of the indicators. The accuracy of results could have been improved, for example, if data on sales in Spain could have been obtained. In addition, corroborative data related to some fleet segments in Morocco were not available. The study was also hindered by delays in the development of sampling schedules. It nevertheless yielded some useful outcomes, showing that it is possible to use indicators to build a picture of main socio-economic trends within Mediterranean fisheries management units.
Analysis of national indicators confirms that fishing plays a different role within the respective economies of Spain and Morocco. Although both countries are quite open to the world market; Spain is clearly an importer country, while Morocco is an exporter country. At another level, indicators applied to particular local operating units (LOUs) yield new information about modes of fishery resource exploitation. They demonstrate, for example:
Analyses reveal which segments and which LOUs are in better and/or in worse conditions, thus providing information of paramount importance for management decision-makers. Highly diverse situations can be found, and each of these situations may require a specific approach and solution of its own.
The pilot study methodology and the indicators used do represent one line of approach to the general problem of indicator construction. Other approaches are possible. For instance, social indicators could be developed more extensively, with reference to such variables as mean age of fishers, number of children, level of education, etc. The challenge is to strike a balance between the types of information that it would be useful to assemble and the effort required to assemble it. All in all, the most demanding task studies of this sort is that of information compilation.
Based on the pilot study experience, the following recommendations are put forward as points to be considered should follow-up work on socio-economic indicators be undertaken:
It should finally be stressed that the indicators herein could eventually enable the development of a simulation methodology. In fact, the information that is available at the moment makes it possible to perform simulations on the basis of alternative scenarios (for instance, on the productivity of capital or of manpower). Hence, the next step would be to develop simulation systems that make it possible to anticipate how different management alternatives may help communities to adjust their fishing capacity so that fisheries become sustainable both in economic and in biological terms.

oday’s military enclosures have ever increasing size, weight andpower (SWaP) demands and shape complexity. TE Connectivity (TE)is a global provider of high performance polymer composites andmolding processes for military and aerospace enclosures.
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Jan. 14, 2013 – TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, announces its new lightweight composite EMI shields (LCES) for military, aerospace, RF, radar and satcom applications. The composite EMI shields are up to 40 percent lighter compared to standard aluminum, help provide increased EMI suppression and are more cost-effective relative to machined or cast aluminum shields.
“Today’s military enclosures have ever increasing SWaP demands and shape complexity,” said James O’Keeffe, Product Manager, Global Aerospace, Defense & Marine, TE Connectivity. “TE is excited to offer a better performing EMI shield that is a lightweight, cost-effective and customizable alternative to help our customers meet those demands.”
TE’s new EMI shields are made of carbon-reinforced composite with electroplating, which offers similar strength to standard aluminum shields but with up to 40 percent lighter weight. In addition, the conductive composites provide enhanced EMI absorption, whereas metal EMI shields provide no signal attenuation and often require separate EMI absorbers. The composite EMI shields are ideal for a broad range of applications where EMI shielding of PCBs is required, such as in radars, radios and avionics.
The shields were designed and have been tested to IEEE 299 standard. The conductive composites provide enhanced EMI absorption and the electroplating meets all EMI and mechanical requirements.

Superu has released a paper looking at the evidence around the needs of children exposed to family violence.
The paper looks at the evidence around interventions for children exposed to family violence. The main finding is that the harm caused by family violence exposure is just as harmful as that caused by direct abuse.
The paper is part of Superu’s ‘What Works’ series, which looks at complex questions on social services issues and contributes to the evidence about making meaningful interventions.

So much wonder, so little time to report it. Folks, I gave myself the gift of focusing on the conference today and last night. I’ll be coming home on Monday, tomorrow. Jacqueline is off to other parts of Europe to share with hungry beekeepers who want to sit at her table. She is quite a celebrity over here, and her celebrity is much deserved.
I’m certain she’ll be posting along the way. Much, much more to come!!
Just a couple brief shots… Here is me schmoozing with Professor Tom Seeley of Cornell University, or, in more informal terms, the King of Bees (yeah, yeah, I know…no such thing, but if there were….). I told him to pretend he liked me. Photo bomber is Mike Albers, the moderator of the Face Book page, Weaving Bee Skep Hives. He also works very closely with Ferry in their organization, Smart Beeing. Mike is one of the most genuine, fun, and easy-to-be with men I’ve had the pleasure of meeting along the way. PLUS…he taught me a few crafty weaving tips!
