Since releasing an EP via iTunes this past spring, MC Lyte‘s supergroup, Almost September, has picked up plenty of buzz among old-school legends and newcomers alike. As Lyte, Whitey White, and Jared Lee begin work on their forthcoming full-length album, they’ve provided us with the world’s newest word-centered anthem. Well, actually, 16 17 18 is centered on three words; KRS-One (yes, he’s still as strong as ever) spits a hot 16 with his opening verse, Lyte thinks back to when she first got into hip-hop at age 17, and Al Be Back details what has happened in the world since he first picked up a mic at age 18. Over a classic Northeast beat from Lee, 16 17 18 pieces together hip-hop’s past, present, and future to create a timeless tribute to the genre. Expect the counting to continue when the inevitable remix is released.

I am originally from the UK, but have lived in NZ for 20 years (including a spell in Australia).
Some of my distant relatives moved to Lake Michigan in the early 1900's - the Willertons - unfortunately we lost touch after my Great Aunt died in Michigan. I nver met her but she always used to send me US money for Christmas.

Like a harried regulator stepping into the revolving door to Wall Street, Google CEO Eric Schmidt will spend the next year restocking his bank account.
Google GOOG said Thursday afternoon Schmidt will step aside after 10 years as chief executive. He’ll be replaced by co-founder Larry Page. Schmidt will stay on as chairman.*
Schmidt said in Google’s press release that the change will “create clearer responsibility and accountability at the top of the company.”
But that’s not all: the shake-up will also give Schmidt a chance to cash in the increasingly lucrative Google chips he has mostly hung onto for the past decade.
Schmidt holds 9.2 million Google shares that at current prices are worth almost $5.8 billion. Google said in a regulatory filing that Schmidt plans to sell 6% of that stake over the next year under a preplanned trading arrangement he filed last month with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company said that if he completes the trading plan as laid out, he would sell 534,000 shares, taking his ownership of Google down to 2.7% from the current 3.1% and reducing his voting stake to 9.1% from 9.6%. Schmidt hasn’t sold any Google shares since 2007 — unlike co-founders Page and Sergey Brin, each of whom said last year they would sell 5 million shares.
Schmidt would clear $334 million on his stock sale were it all to take place at Thursday’s prices.
Of course, it’s not that he wants the money or anything.
“Using this trading plan, Eric can diversify his investment portfolio and can spread stock trades out over a period of one year to reduce market impact,” Google said. “Because this trading plan was established well in advance of a trade, it also helps avoid concerns about whether Eric had material, non-public information when he made a decision to sell his stock.”
Yes, insider selling is all about diversifying portfolios, reducing market impact and avoiding concerns. No question.
In any case, the shares Schmidt plans to sell are all Class A shares – the ones that trade freely in the markets and carry a single vote for each share.
Schmidt, Page and Brin together own all of a super-voting class of stock, designated Class B, that carries 10 votes for each share. That arrangement will allow them to keep voting control of the company even if Google issues millions more shares in acquisitions or to compensate workers.
All three have all been making $1 a year in salary, though Schmidt also received $3,558 in holiday bonuses in 2007 and 2009. He also got around $411,000 a year over the past three years in company-paid security and private-plane benefits.
Google didn’t say whether he’d continue to receive his princely salary as non-executive chairman, but let’s face it — he won’t need that dollar anyway.
*Update: Google is calling Schmidt’s new job “executive chairman.” Initially I incorrectly described it as nonexecutive chairman. I have also added background on planned stock sales by Page and Brin.

Wood burning and multi fuel stoves use flue pipes to help make them safe and functional. These provide the essential function of venting out smoke, fumes and gasses, making sure you can burn your fire safely. Without a flue pipe, smoke and fumes would not be able to escape. A flue pipe will vent these unwanted byproducts of burning wood and fuels, taking them straight outdoors. It will also help to protect your home against fires. It’s really important you make sure you have the right kind of flue pipe for your stove, and it is functioning correctly. It will also need to be installed correctly to ensure it will provide all of its essential functions.
What exactly is a flue pipe?
A flue pipe for a stove will usually be located in the chimney. It will be connected into the back of the stove, so that all byproducts will be remove and vented out of the chimney. The flue pipe should always be made of well insulated materials, which makes sure that the hot fumes and smoke being vented out will not cause any damage or accidental fires. If you have a brick chimney, this is considered to be a very good material for it.
One of the most important functions of the flue pipe is to remove carbon monoxide. This is a dangerous gas that can be very harmful to people, so it is important this is removed regularly.
Health and safety – flues that meet regulations and work effectively.
You will always need to make sure that you flue is working to the best of its ability. This doesn’t just make sure it is working efficiently in terms of making your home as warm as possible, it also means that it is working safely. The Government issue buildings regulations, and the UK Document J buildings regulations apply to flue pipes and chimneys. When you are replacing flues, make sure you consult with these to ensure you flue is doing all it should be for your property.
You may be able to install a flue yourself if you have good DIY skills. You should always check and sweep the chimney before installing a stove and flue, making sure that everything is functioning correctly and the chimney doesn’t require any additional work doing to it. When you install the flue, make sure you know what you are doing and follow all instructions perfectly. If you are at all unsure, call on an installation expert. They will also be able to install your stove for you, so you can have everything done in one go to get your stove up and running.
Choosing your flue
The flue and flue liner you select will all depend on your stove, and the existing chimney you have. Check the regulations, and check over your chimney to see whether it will require any work before installing a flue pipe. Ask when you purchase your stove – a stove retailer will be able to give you further information regarding your specific requirements.

RIP Cherokee Cowboy Ray Price. This is a tough one. Nothing better than a Ray Price shuffle.
Ray Price, who was at the forefront of two revolutions in country music as one of its finest ballad singers and biggest hit makers, died on Monday at his home in Mount Pleasant, Tex. He was 87.
Ray Price performing in Huntsville, Tex., in 1968.
Over a career that began in the 1940s, Mr. Price placed more than 100 singles on the country charts, including Top 10 hits like “City Lights,” “Heartaches by the Number” and “Make the World Go Away.” He hired future country stars to play in his band, notably Roger Miller, Willie Nelson and Johnny Paycheck. And Pamper Music, the publishing company that he owned with two partners, helped start the careers of hit songwriters like Harlan Howard, Hank Cochran and Mr. Nelson.
He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996.
Mr. Price first helped change country music in the mid-1950s, when, hoping to distinguish his sound from that of his former roommate Hank Williams, he and his band transformed the gutbucket country shuffle of the postwar era into sleek, propulsive honky-tonk.
“We were having trouble getting a good, clean bass sound,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post in 1998, talking about the session that produced his breakthrough hit, “Crazy Arms,” a No. 1 country record for 20 weeks in 1956. “So instead of going with the standard 2/4 beat, I said, ‘Let’s try a 4/4 bass and a shuffle rhythm,’ and it cut. It cut clean through.”
Now a part of the American musical vernacular, the “Ray Price beat,” as it came to be known, not only achieved its desired sonic effect, but it also reclaimed the country charts for country music. “Crazy Arms” knocked Carl Perkins’s “Blue Suede Shoes” from the top spot at a time when teenage-friendly rockabilly acts like Perkins and Elvis Presley were crowding out more traditional singers like Hank Thompson and Hank Snow.
In the middle to late 1960s Mr. Price refined his music further by singing in a lower register and combining lush string orchestration with soul-inflected rhythms, in the process helping to give birth to the so-called countrypolitan sound. His recording of Kris Kristofferson’s “For the Good Times,” a No. 1 country hit that stalled just outside the pop Top 10 in 1970, epitomized the affecting new hybrid. It also won a Grammy Award for best male country vocal performance.
The constant amid these transformations was Mr. Price’s voice, a pliant baritone capable of conveying great depth of feeling much like that of Tony Bennett, a musical hero of his.
“My voice is my instrument,” he told The Post. “I’ve worked all my life to make sure I enunciate properly. I try to make the melody true — I can’t stand an off note.”
Noble Ray Price was born on Jan. 12, 1926, on a farm near Perryville, Tex., in the eastern part of the state. Raised in Dallas by his mother after his parents divorced, he spent summers on his father’s farm. The mix of rural and urban sensibilities he grew up with would later manifest itself in his music.
After serving in the Marines from 1944 to 1946, Mr. Price enrolled in North Texas Agricultural College to study veterinary medicine. He also began singing in nightclubs and was discovered by the producer Jim Beck, who secured him a contract with the Nashville label Bullet Records.
Mr. Price began singing on “The Big D Jamboree,” a radio barn dance in Dallas, toward the end of 1949. He signed with Columbia Records in 1951, after which he moved to Nashville at the urging of Hank Williams and joined the Grand Ole Opry.
Mr. Price’s initial recordings for Columbia revealed him to be a skilled Williams protégé, but despite the enormous popularity of his mentor, Mr. Price failed to gain an audience on country radio. Even the name of his band, the Cherokee Cowboys, was derived from that of Williams’s group, the Drifting Cowboys. Mr. Price did not become a star in his own right, or distinguish himself as a musical stylist, until the surging fiddle and 4/4 bass line of “Crazy Arms” erupted onto the country airwaves in May 1956.
Though no longer a force on the country charts by the mid-’80s, Mr. Price, who for decades maintained a working ranch in Texas, continued to tour and record. In 2007 he released the album “Last of the Breed,” a collaboration with Mr. Nelson and Merle Haggard, which won a Grammy for best country collaboration with vocals.
He is survived by his wife of more than 40 years, Janie, and by a son, Cliff, from a previous marriage.
Although some of his fans had trouble reconciling his shift from rough-cut honky-tonker to countrypolitan crooner, the move never posed any sort of conflict for Mr. Price.
Quoted in the roots music magazine No Depression, he said: “There’s no difference between singing a country song in a Western suit and then going around behind the curtain and walking out the other side with a tux on and singing the same country song with a pop arrangement. It’s the same thing.”

We became fast friends with Melbourne's graffiti provocateur LUSH last year when he came to San Francisco for an exhibition at FIFTY24SF Gallery, and turned the gallery into strip show. All the things you hear about LUSH is that he pisses a ton of people off, and that he does so for some sort of Internet fame. Well, what's wrong with that? It's 2012, how else do you get famous? LUSH will be opening up shop in London on July 5 with a large warehouse show that will surely cause some angry comments here. That means this is all working...

The BEST Cinematic drone on the market | Mavic 3 Review/Unboxing
What is going on guys, so we got the brand new dji mavic 3 and my last drone from dji was actually the dji spark which recorded in 1080p at 30fps this, but i cant even talk. This thing is just amazing. Lets go ahead and box. This ill show you guys the specs all right, so we got that annoying plastic off lets, go ahead and actually open this thing up now you cant see to get kind of damaged during shipping, which is normal because you know ups is its thing, but lets go Ahead and open this thing up, i dont know how this box opens. Really. I havent watched any videos on this really at all. I think i missed a piece of tape right here. There we go so there is the dji mavic 3. Very small, like this is very small. Let me throw a iphone 7 just right here for comparison. This drone right here is one of the smallest drones, with this amount of capabilities that ive seen in a long time now i didnt get the signed version, because that one is close to 5 000. But this is the standard mavic 3, which should be fine enough, because this thing still does shoot in 5k, which is plenty if anything, its more than enough id be fine with 4k, but they decided to go all the way up to 5k and 4k at 120 Frames per second, which is insane for a drone and right here we have the drone itself.
It looks like it does have a little case protecting the propellers from unfolding during travel, which is nice to see. This is actually really cool because its actually held in by this magnetic clip thats kind of just there, and you have to just pull it off and uh. You can start flying really uh this yeah. If i can pull it off there, we go uh so thats. The thats the case that covers the camera sensors, which this is the new hasselblad camera that shoots in 5k and 4k 120 all sort of stuff, as well as the sensors all around the drone, which you know of course, capture every single angle of the drone. Just to avoid accidents which is awesome to see, especially if you dont have dji care refresh. So definitely a nice add on im super excited to try to test that out now taking the drone itself. Here we can unfold it to what appears to be its full length and it actually doesnt fold quite similar to the dji mavic 1 and two, which is nice to see, because that form factor was perfect. For my use case. I didnt personally have one, but i did borrow one for a bit and that drone was amazing to use. I definitely would recommend even get picking up an older one once they drop in value after this one gets more traction yeah, as you can see right here, unfolds just like that Music and its ready to fly.
So i think from here we can check out the remotes battery and kind of just start getting flying. I actually have my brand new 14 inch macbook pro that im going to be using to edit some of the footage that im going to be taking with this drone later tonight. So stay tuned for that and of course, because it is dji, their controller quality is awesome to feel in the hand. You do also have the embedded joysticks on the bottom, so they dont get damaged during transit, which is awesome to see they just kind of screw. In there, like the dji, mavic mini did, which is awesome to see dji keep doing with their current models of drone. Now, unlike previous dji drone controllers, this controller actually does lift up from the top to put your phone ipad or really anything at the top, which is awesome to see because having the screen at the bottom of the controller. It just makes things just a little bit. Worse and more awkward to hold, whereas this you can kind of just have your phone above the controller at all times and being able to see anything that happens while youre flying, which is awesome to see. The overall quality, like i said, is really nice. For this controller, you do have some very tactile buttons on the side, as well as some very freely moving joysticks that probably wont break into anytime soon in the kit, you also do get two extra sets of propellers, just in case anything happens during your flight.
Although these propellers are very durable feeling so im hoping they can withstand a crash just in case anything does happen, but with all the safety features built in with mavic 3. I really cant see anything happening to this thing. So, alongside the controller, we have a usbc to usb cable, as well as a few otg cables, to hook your phone up directly to the controller, so that you have the optimal streaming performance for your drone, as well as a few extra joysticks. Just in case yours get lost, so this is awesome to see. Dji include this also is a 240 volt, 2 amp charger, which should give you some optimal speeds for fast charging. We also do have a few user guides, but none of this is in english. So, im not really too sure how they expected me to do that. Theres! Really, no english guides in the box at all, which i find a little a little strange for this drone. But i i guess he i i couldnt even say you get what you pay for, because its this things like two grand but um, the more you know. I guess i dont know now that everything is out of the box. Lets go ahead and take the drone up in the air and see how it performs it is dark. So i guess this will be a perfect time to experiment with the low light performance of the dji mavic 3, but furthermore, lets go ahead and test it out.
So wow the performance that this drone gave today is insane. I really didnt expect this drones camera to really just kind of blow everything out of the water like that. I expected it to be all blurred out and blurry um just because it is dark outside, but this thing really met its expectations and this isnt even the same version either. This is the standard mavic 3.. Now again, you can pick this drone up for fairly cheap. Considering the value that youre getting out of this thing just go for around two thousand dollars, and you can pick it up today at your local best buy or even the dji store or the app anyway.


NHAI to pick up 4.64 hectare for INR 12.67 cr to extend Ahmedabad-Vadodara highway
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to transfer 4.64 hectares of land belonging to the Indian Institute of Soil & Water Conservation Research Centre at Vasad in Gujarat’s Anand district, to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
The Institute, under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, will be paid a compensation of INR 12.67 crore.
The land is being acquired for the extension and 6-laning of the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Highway on National Highway (NH)-8.
An official release said that “The transfer of land to NHAl is likely to benefit the region, leading to enhanced opportunities for growth and development in terms of infrastructure, transport, communication, employment generation etc.”
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) also approved the development of four-laning from “end of Pandoh Bypass to Takoli” section of NH-21 in Himachal Pradesh. The roughly 19-km road is estimated to cost INR 2,775.93 crore, including expenses for land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation, and other pre-construction activities.
The work will be done under National Highways Development Project phase IV B on hybrid annuity mode.
The Cabinet gave ex-post facto approval to the agreement between India and Cyprus on merchant shipping, signed in April 2017.
The agreement will pave the way for cooperation in eliminating any hindrances which may hamper the development of sea trade between the two nations.
The MoU will also encourage participation in the transport of goods between the countries, and also from third countries.
The Cabinet gave ex-post facto approval to the memorandum of understanding between the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Republic of Mali’s Direction Nationale De Industries, to facilitate closer cooperation.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, December 18, 2008 – LyondellBasell Industries will feature its latest innovative product and technology offerings at Interplastica 2009, Russia’s premier trade fair for the plastics and rubber industries. Interplastica will be held from January 27 to 30 at Moscow’s Exhibition Center in Krasnaya Presnya. LyondellBasell’s stand will be located at 1D 28/E 29 in Hall 1.
“Interplastica provides an exciting platform to present LyondellBasell as a leader in the petrochemical industry,” says Elena Cherkinskaya, Head of LyondellBasell’s Moscow Representative Office. “Customers seeking a competitive advantage who are already very familiar with our innovative polyolefins and technologies will learn about our recent developments that can deliver even more value. We also want to show our customers that we are committed to serving the needs of the region.”
Resins based on the Advanced Cascade Process
LyondellBasell’s exhibit will include a new range of Hostalen high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins produced using the Hostalen Advanced Cascade Process (ACP). By utilizing cascade reactor technology, multi-modal resins based on the Hostalen ACP technology offer a unique combination of product properties that are not achievable with conventional uni-modal or bi-modal HDPE grades. Customers select Hostalen resins for use in pipe, high performance film, blow molding and caps and closures applications.
The new Hostalen ACP 5231D expands the range of multimodal HDPE resins used in blow molding applications. It provides a higher level of optimized density and tailor-made stiffness, very high environmental stress-cracking resistance (ESCR) and smooth processability. Other Hostalen ACP-based resins will be featured, including Hostalen ACP 6541A resins used by customers in injection-molded closures for beverage bottles as well as healthcare and cosmetics applications. The material exhibits an outstanding combination of properties, such as higher stiffness with very good processability and ESCR. Additionally, it exhibits very good organoleptic properties that are essential for closure applications.
Portfolio of specialty products used in pipe and pipe coating applications
Other new LyondellBasell product developments to be highlighted include multimodal HDPE resins used by customers in pipe and pipe coating applications. The new Hostalen CRP 100 RESIST CR Black resin, a PE100 compound designed to be considered by our customers for use in pipes for trenchless and sandless laying installation techniques, exhibits excellent resistance to slow crack propagation. The resin meets the technical requirements of the German specification 1075, providing a Full Notch Creep Test performance above 10,000 hours. “Following the success of Hostalen CRP100 Black resins used in pressure gas & water pipe, the new Hostalen CRP 100 RESIST CR Black resin complements LyondellBasell's offering by enlarging the portfolio of resins to be considered by our customers for use in the field of applications for PE pipes. The property spectrum of HDPE has been broadened even further through our latest-generation Hostalen ACP process technology,” explains Domenico Gigliobianco, Commercial Director in LyondellBasell’s Moscow Representative Office.
Completing LyondellBasell’s full-system supplier portfolio is its polybutene-1 (PB-1) family of resins used in customer pipe applications. PB-1 is characterized by creep resistance and flexibility, and is used in flexible pressure piping for domestic hot and cold drinking water.
LyondellBasell also offers a range of high-performance pipe coating products used in anti-corrosion coating, mechanical protection and thermal insulation coating of oil, gas and water transportation pipelines. The Lupolen 4552D SW00413 resin is a new-generation multi-modal black HDPE product produced using the Hostalen ACP process. It is selected by customers due to its outstanding resistance to impact and environmental stress cracking (ESCR), as well as its excellent processability at higher coating speeds. In addition, the company has launched a new grafted adhesive PE resin, Lucalen G 3710E, which is selected by customers for its improved coating and adhesion properties.
Meeting the automotive industry’s growing needs
LyondellBasell will also feature its Hostacom PP compounds and highlight its global product sourcing capabilities in response to the increasingly-expanding automotive business requirements in Russia and Central Europe. With compounding facilities in close proximity to the growing number of automotive manufacturing plants in Eastern Europe, the company can provide OEMs with the material consistency they demand, regardless of where their regional operations are located. Special focus will be placed on the company’s Softell PP compounds, which are used by customers in automotive interiors requiring soft-to-the-touch qualities, high aesthetic appeal, and excellent finish and color consistency. Compared to competitive interior solutions such as painted ABS, Softell PP compounds offer additional advantages to be considered by our customers for automotive interiors, including excellent processability and extensive design potential.
The company’s new range of butene-1 based plastomers, marketed under the trade name Koattro, will also be on exhibit. The new resin can be considered for use in the production manufacture of elastic applications such as film, fiber, tapes, closure lines and aesthetic injection molding. Koattro resins feature outstanding compatibility to polypropylene, which enable improvements in flexibility, transparency, tensile properties, shrinkage modification, scratch resistance and stress-whitening behavior.
Strategic focus in a dynamic region
LyondellBasell’s pioneering polyolefin and chemical process technologies will be showcased as well. Further reinforcing the company’s commitment to the region is the first integrated, world-scale petrochemical complex to be built in Karabatan, Kazakhstan. LyondellBasell’s PE and PP technologies have been selected by Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries Inc. LLP for three new plants that will have a combined capacity of 1,300 KT of polyolefins per year.
“As the global leader in polyolefins technology, we offer differentiating processes that enable our customers in Russia and neighboring countries to remain competitive and responsive to market dynamics,” said Cherkinskaya. “The region requires world-scale plants that can take full advantage of locally-sourced petrochemical feedstock, the most modern technology and the best knowledge and experience in sales and marketing.”
In addition, LyondellBasell is studying the feasibility of establishing production facilities for PP-based compounds in Russia to meet the fast-growing demand of the country’s automotive industry.
LyondellBasell’s joint venture in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Ethylene and Polyethylene Company, is scheduled to start up world-class production facilities at the end of this year which will provide another competitive supply source for Russian customers.
Alastian, one of LyondellBasell’s online business channels, will also be on display at Interplastica. Available to customers in Russia and Central Europe for the past two years, Alastian has already proven its value with 200 registered users in the CIS region.

Concerned over the worsening quality of air in the national capital, the Environment Pollution Prevention and Control Authority (EPCA) advised a ban on all the private vehicles without compressed natural gas (CNG) in Delhi, India.
In a letter to the Central Pollution Control Board, EPCA chairman Bhure Lal suggested that the government should look at “either a complete ban on all private vehicles (without the identification of petrol or diesel), other than CNG and/or restriction on plying by number plate (odd-even).”
“I am also aware that any restriction on plying of private vehicles, without adequate public transport creates huge inconvenience to people. It is for this reason that EPCA for the past many years has stressed on the need for augmentation of public transport, not just in Delhi but in the NCR region,” he further stated in the letter.
The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) recorded the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of New Delhi at 419 at 8:30 am as compared to 397 during the last corresponding period.


While the SuperLiga may not provide a particularly accurate measure of the strength of M.L.S. clubs vs. Mexican clubs (e.g., all the matches are played at the home grounds of the U.S. clubs), it is having some modest success on another front: generating interest in the United States — or at least in New York.
According to viewership figures for the New York affiliate of TeleFutura, the Spanish-language network airing the matches, SuperLiga games are drawing encouraging audiences in comparison to Mexican League games.
The SuperLiga on WFUT in the New York area has averaged 77,000 viewers per game so far this season, according to Neilsen figures. Those matches have aired in prime time or at late night, both during the week and on weekends. By comparison, the ongoing Mexican Primera División match seen on Sunday afternoons on WXTV, the New York Univision affiliate, attracted 29,000 viewers locally.
While the comparison is not entirely parallel, given the different times for match broadcasts, officials at the two New York stations (Univision and TeleFutura are jointly owned) say the SuperLiga figures are encouraging.
The 77,000 average is in line with typical viewership for WFUT, which in prime time during the May 2007 sweeps period was 83,000. All of which means that the SuperLiga is doing about as well as the programs it replaced — not a spectacular start, to be sure, but at least a quietly solid one.

Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit and Wainwright RCMP are charging a 30-year-old man from Wainwright after a joint investigation.
Wainwright RCMP received multiple complaints of an unknown suspect dating back to January 2019. ICE was brought in April 2020 to aid in the investigation and executed multiple search warrants which resulted in the arrest of Jesse Keller at his home on May 6.
He is charged with child luring, sexual assault, possession of child pornography and several other charges.
ALERT says he lured and extorted at least three victims through multiple social media apps and allegedly met and sexually assaulted one of the victims.
The unit is gathering more information by investigating the computers and electronics seized in the search.
“Increased online activity during isolation puts children at risk of being taken advantage of,” says Cpl. Kirk Smith, Wainwright RCMP. “We are asking all parents to be aware of who their children are chatting with online and the type of conversations that are taking place.”
Tips to youth who may be dealing with online blackmail or extortion offered by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection include:
- Never comply with the threat
- Stop all forms of communication with the individual and block the account
- Deactivate all accounts used to communicate with the individual
- Speak to a safe adult about what is happening
- Contact cybertip.ca or police
Anyone with information about the investigation or any other child exploitation offence is encouraged to contact local police or cybertip.ca.

HCMC – The HCMC government and the global drug firm AstraZeneca want to enhance cooperation in developing biotechnology, and vaccine and medical equipment production.
There are ample opportunities for healthcare cooperation between HCMC and AstraZeneca, said Phan Van Mai, chairman of the city’s People’s Committee, during a meeting with Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca, yesterday, April 12.
The city government pledges to provide favorable conditions for expanding local and international biopharmaceutical businesses.
Mai praised the efficacy of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, which has helped protect Vietnamese people against Covid.
Soriot said disease prevention and early detection remain the firm’s top priorities, in addition to the provision of sustainable development solutions.
AstraZeneca has promoted cooperation with many countries in technology transfer and digital transformation, he added.
The firm has committed US$310 million to Vietnam in the 2020-2030 period, focusing on enhancing human resources and fostering domestic biopharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities.

(NNPA)–Popular Soul Train host Don Cornelius, influential hip-hop manager Chris Lighty and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had different lines of work.
What they had in common, however, is one startling fact: This year they all lost their lives in a way that many believed was once uncommon among African-Americans. They took their own lives through suicide.

Their shocking deaths raised awareness about the impact of depression and other forms of mental distress on the Black community.
“Those tragedies have special meaning for the African-American community, which has long nourished a dangerous myth that Black people don’t commit suicide,” noted Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page.
In addition, the issue has become even more timely as the holidays approach with studies long showing that cases of depression and suicide increase during the winter months.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office and the American Association of Suicidology, more than 19 million Americans have a depressive illness, with many of them, an average of 100, committing suicide everyday.
Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that in recent years suicide rates have been high enough to claim an African-American every four and a half hours. Also, suicide is now the third leading cause of death among African-Americans between the ages of 15 and 24, and more than doubled among Black males.
Amy Alexander, after losing her brother to suicide, decided to write Lay My Burden Down, one of a few books that specifically addresses depression and suicide in the African-American community.
“It is very much a misperception that Black people don’t commit suicide and that comes in part from a historical need – a very real and legitimate need – for Black people for many years to be very strong,” noted Alexander, who released her book with noted psychiatrist Alvin Poussaint of Harvard Medical School.
Arlinda Lindsay, a therapist with the Adult and Child Mental Health Center in Indianapolis, often speaks with individuals who express those beliefs.
“I’ve heard some people say, ‘well, my parents dealt with their problems, and our ancestors in slavery dealt with challenges, so I can surely deal with what I’m going through now,’” said Lindsay.
Recently, a study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that African-Americans are actually less likely than Whites to have a major depressive disorder, but their cases tend to be more chronic and severe.
Also, “African-Americans, fewer than half with major depression, actually undergo treatment,” said Dr. David R. Williams, a Harvard School of Medicine professor and lead author of the study.
Lindsay noted that a lot of people, African-American and otherwise, don’t seek treatment when they are dealing with depression because they view it as a sign of weakness.
“They suffer silently without getting any help, then the depression intensifies, and the person loses hope because they have not opened up to anybody and won’t let nobody in,” Lindsay said. “There’s a stigma that says if you are seeing a therapist, then you’re crazy. It’s not about being crazy, it’s about taking care of your mental health like you would your physical health.”
Lindsay added that treatment among African-Americans has also been complicated by a variety of factors, ranging from lack of access to treatment for financial reasons, to a historical mistrust of mind altering medications and the mental health profession, although that may change as more minorities enter the field.
“The African-American community needs to be educated about the importance of mental health, through our churches and other institutions in the community,” Lindsay said.
Experts hope that awareness will be raised as a result of the deaths of Cornelius, Lighty and Belcher, as well as the sudden hospitalization and resignation of ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois, presumably due to mental health concerns.
Cornelius, 75, took his own life in January, in the midst of coping with a recent divorce and health problems. Lighty, 44, shot himself outside his New York home after a conflict with his estranged wife, and Belcher, 25, shot himself near the Kansas City Chiefs’ training facility after killing his girlfriend, with whom he had a three-month-old child.
Everyone gets depressed at times, but it can range from mild and temporary, to severe forms related to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Prolonged, severe depression can become debilitating and take people into isolation, where they consider such drastic acts as suicide.
Suicide can be easily prevented if those struggling with depression are treated with counseling, and if necessary, medication, experts say.
“It is also important to talk to a friend, a family member or someone about how you feel,” Lindsay said. “Many depressed people prefer to handle things on their own. It’s not a sign of weakness to talk about your problems, it’s a sign of strength.
We are created to be relational and interact with others. We need those relationships to help sort things out.”
Common symptoms to watch for in yourself or a loved one
• A persistent sad, anxious or “empty” mood.
• Reduced or increased appetite, sudden weight loss or weight gain.
• Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain.
• Irritability, restlessness.
• Decreased energy, fatigue.
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, pessimism.
• Sleeping too much or too little.
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities.
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
• Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts.
What you should know
• Clinical depression is more than “the blues.” It is normal to feel sad when a loved when dealing with death, illness, divorce or financial problems. But for some people the sadness does not go away. If your “blues” last more than a few weeks or causes struggles in daily life, you may be suffering from depression.
• Depression is not a personal weakness, – it is a common, yet serious, medical illness. Appropriate treatment can help people with clinical depression.
• Many factors can contribute to depression, including cognitive issues (such as negative thinking patterns); biological and genetic factors; other medications; other illnesses; and situational factors.
• Over the holidays: For many people this may be a holiday season without a cherished loved one. It is recommended to acknowledge how much you miss the person and discuss how you feel with someone. You may also do something to honor their memory, and then conduct an activity (different from normal routine) to keep your mind focused on something positive, such as volunteering.
• Clinical depression is a treatable illness: The good news is that, like other illnesses such as heart disease or diabetes, clinical depression is treatable with the help of a health care professional. Over 80 percent of people with depression can be treated successfully.

These Five Upstate Hikes Are New York’s Deadliest
New York state has some of the most beautiful nature in the United States. For hundreds of years, vacationers from around the world have come for all four seasons in Upstate New York. Many take to the trails when they're here. But some trails have proven more dangerous than others. Here are NY's most deadly hikes.
Note: This is not a condemnation of nature; this is a reminder that even experienced hikers can make deadly mistakes on relatively easy trails. Go see New York, but always be aware of yours surroundings, dress properly, follow posted signs, and be careful!
This Upstate destination has the beautiful Canajoharie Falls and a New York-famous 20’ water hole known as “Boiling Pot.” The Canajoharie trail itself isn’t particularly difficult, at 1.2 miles out-and-back, but the danger at Wintergreen starts when thrill seekers leave the trails.
The creek and rocks around the top of the falls and the deep water below are very slippery. The area has also had a history of deadly accidents from cliff diving tourists. A hidden stone ledge as the base of the falls has claimed numerous lives over the years of those that ignored numerous warning signs. The most recent death was in 2012, when a 25-year-old jumped into the pool at the base of the falls and never came back up.
Because of its deadly stigma, the park and its trails were further neglected until Canajoharie residents said enough. They took the opportunity during COVID-lockdowns and beyond to clean and renovate Wintergreen Park, making the trails safer, better marked, and more protected from any drop-offs.
Adirondack High Peaks
Not limited to just one trail, the Adirondack High Peaks make up the 46 tallest mountains in the Adirondack Park. These hikes draw thousands of nature lovers from across the Northeast every year for their spectacular views. Of those thousands, at least a few will need extensive search and rescue operations, and unfortunately, some won’t come back at all.
If you Google “Adirondack High Peaks Deaths,” you’ll find far too many examples of how dangerous these trails can be. Some have died from overexertion via heart attacks, some get lost in the deep woods and don’t find their way out, and some fall hundreds of feet off steep embankments.
The deadliest time of year in the Adirondacks is winter. There’s a genuine risk of hypothermia – several campers have frozen to death on trails – even as late in the season as March. In March of 2022, a suspected avalanche killed a Connecticut man during a snowstorm.
Even rescues where the victims live are extremely hazardous, and put DEC workers in harm’s way. In February 2018, 34 rangers and 12 volunteers mounted a rescue operation for a novice hiker that slipped off Saddleback Mountain and broke both of his legs.
Salmon River Falls
Salmon River Falls might be the saddest inclusion here. By all logic, this trail should not be on the deadliest list, but the 110-foot waterfall has caused five deaths since 2002. This Oswego County trail is another case of hikers not keeping to the trails - each victim strayed from the path for cliff jumping or sightseeing.
There is even a fence between the trail and the top of the falls, but people still climb over it and jump or slip to their deaths. Maybe it’s overconfidence, but physical ability is not enough to protect. In July of 2020, a 24-year-old standout athlete died jumping from the top of the falls into the water below where he drowned.
Plotter Kill Preserve
This 632-acre nature preserve in Schenectady County is a great Capital Region escape, but still proves a threat to hikers. Rescue crews are called in fairly regularly to save those that get severely injured or lost on the grounds, ravines, or near Plotter Kill’s three waterfalls.
In 2015, a Clifton Park teenager and her boyfriend were hiking a narrow trail at the top of one of those waterfalls. It had stormed the day before and they lost their footing on the rain-soaked terrain and fell over the side. While the boyfriend only suffered minor injuries, the girl died from her injuries after being airlifted to a hospital. Both were wearing proper hiking attire. It was the first death in Plotter Kill since 1993.
Since then, authorities have spent hundreds on more safety markers and curbing off “unofficial trails” made by unscrupulous explorers.
This is New York's deadliest trail. In the last 200 years, more than 200 deaths have been recorded. This number can be attributed to Kaaterskill's larger than average amount of tourists, who come to see the two-tiered waterfall.
State forest rangers say that social media has led to an uptick of deaths, as the majority of falling deaths occurred while the victims were posing for a picture or trying to take a selfie. Another contributing factor is how many visitors come ill-prepared for the trail - usually in sandals or flip-flops.
This is another trail you should be extra careful on in winter. Many have slipped on ice at the upper tier and plummeted 167 feet to the rocks or water below. Because of the Falls' popularity, New York state has poured $1.5 million into making the trail safer in recent years.
Most Dangerous, Non-Deadly: Devil’s Path
If you couldn’t tell by the name, Devil’s Path is no joke. This 20+ mile Catskills trail isn’t just considered one of the most difficult in New York, but one of the most difficult on the entire East Coast. Even expert hikers have trouble finishing Devil’s Path in a day. Surprisingly, there are no known deaths on Devil's Path - maybe because of the barrier to entry.
The most immediate danger comes from the terrain: the trail has numerous dramatic inclines and declines that require more mountain climbing skill than hiking. Devil’s Path touches seven of the Catskills High Peaks: Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, Plateau, Hunter, West Kill, and Saint Anne’s.
Weather can produce a lot more challenges. Snow and ice stick around on the trail until May, and summer dries up most of the creeks, limiting water access. There are a few campgrounds and lean-to sites to make camp or refill, but you’ll need to take lots of water with you. Experts recommend starting at dawn and only hiking in good weather.


Kenya Says New Excise Tax Won’t Cause Inflation ResurgenceBy
Falling food prices could slow rate of inflation further
Central bank sees current-account deficit at 5.5% this year
Kenya’s central bank doesn’t anticipate a resurgence in inflation when the government introduces a new excise duty on selected goods and services this year, Governor Patrick Njoroge said.
Instead, the central bank sees a decline in food prices exerting further downward pressure on inflation in coming months, Njoroge told reporters in the capital, Nairobi, on Tuesday. The Monetary Policy Committee cut Kenya’s benchmark rate by 100 basis points to 10.5 percent on Monday, the first reduction in three years, saying a drop in consumer prices had given it room to start easing.
“We are not concerned that it will lead to a resurgence in inflation,” Njoroge said, adding that the excise tax raise would increase prices by 0.3 percentage points. “It’s well accommodated.”
The rate of inflation slowed to 5.3 percent in April from a peak of 8 percent in December, following two rate increases of a total 300 basis points last year. Inflation is now within the government’s 2.5 percent to 7.5 percent target band.
The inflation base effect might be amplified by the tax increases in July, according to Jibran Qureishi, an economist at Nairobi-based CFC Stanbic Bank. The government is also likely to borrow more ahead of elections next year, he said.
“We wouldn’t be surprised if the government doesn’t cut expenditure,” Qureishi said. “Monetary and fiscal policy consistency is the question now.”
Increased government borrowing would put pressure on interest rates in an environment where businesses will reduce activity as the political temperatures rise ahead of the election scheduled for August 2017, according to Faith Atiti, a research analyst at Nairobi-based CBA Capital. One person was shot dead on Monday during opposition protests demanding changes to the electoral body, according to the government spokesman, Eric Kiraithe.
“Risk comes from the fiscal side, debt absorption is still high, we may head to a situation where monetary policy is subordinate,” Atiti said. “You can have a monetary policy that looks to easing without commensurate support from the fiscal.”
The central bank expects Kenya’s current account deficit to widen to 5.8 percent of gross domestic product in 2017, from a projected 5.5 percent this year, Njoroge said.
The central bank revised its current-account deficit outlook downwards to 5.5 percent this year, from a previous projection of 6.3 percent. The gap in the broadest measure of trade in goods and services came in at 6.8 percent in 2015 from a revised 9.8 percent a year earlier, Njoroge said.
“The biggest risk is the fight on fiscal consolidation,” Gareth Brickman, an Africa analyst at ETM Analytics, said by phone. “If they don’t cut spending, it will raise pressure on shilling and rates.”

The company has embraced its new focus with a passion, says strategy leader Rod Snodgrass
Spark is strongly focused on its "Digital First" strategy with a firm ambition set to be a winning business "inspired by customers to unleash the potential of all New Zealanders".
It's a major shift for Spark - but one which falls naturally out of the transformation process that chief executive Simon Moutter put in play when he took up the reins at the-then Telecom in 2012.
When Moutter announced the new strategy earlier this year he said his goal was to create New Zealand's leading digital services platform.
He plucked Rod Snodgrass who was heading Digital Ventures (described by some as an internal "skunk works" to lead cutting-edge change) to head up the overall Digital First strategy.
Snodgrass had earlier taken a "more provocative view" on what was necessary for Spark to keep evolving, at a time when its legacy business was eroding. His concern was that as the company moved to the next level it might just simply digitise the current business.
In an interview with the Herald, Snodgrass said he put the case to Moutter.
"What we really needed to think about was using digital in a very disruptive way to recreate our business models so we are fit for the future."
It's a focus that found favour with the Spark board when the executives outlined why the Digital First strategy was imperative.
"We are living in digital times," was the message. A raft of metrics was chosen to make the point clear:
•Apple paid more to app developers in 2014 than Hollywood made at the box office;
•Expedia gets 90 per cent of its revenue from apps; Salesforce gets 50 per cent and eBay's share of revenue from apps is a whopping 60 per cent;
•80 per cent of consumers are more likely to recommend a brand that offers a simpler-magical experience.
The executives talked about how experiential competitors were winning with digital disruption. Among them was Netflix which had changed the market twice - first through convenient physical home delivery, then through OTT (over-the-top content or the delivery of video and audio via broadband without the involvement of a multiple-system operator in the control or distribution of the content) and is now doing it again with analytic driven programming and digital delivery.
Uber, which has re-imagined the taxi experience making it better for both consumers and drivers, was also cited. And Amazon.com which combined analytics and a one-click buy, was now bigger than physical retailers and had totally rewritten categories like books.
"You either get disrupted or you disrupt," says Snodgrass. "We needed to disrupt ourselves before someone else did."
The digital businesses were growing faster and many were now bigger than their non-digital competitors, as the compelling financials showed.
In essence, what Moutter and Snodgrass proposed was the fourth phase of Spark's transformation process. The first had been launched in August 2012 when Moutter returned to Telecom, drew a line under broadband and said the company needed to win back mobile where it had been conceding market share; it then re-engineered the core platform, stripping out decades of complexity that had been wired in.
The third phase was to transform cost structures and assert financial disciplines.
What was evident to the Spark executives was how the digital businesses focused first and foremost on magical customer experiences, changing the way digital is delivered to the consumer.
Snodgrass points to Air New Zealand as a traditional business which has done a "fabulous job" in this area.
"We are going to look across the group to work out where we go first," he says.
"It's a little like Air New Zealand. They built an app and it got better and better -- and my relationship with Air New Zealand is awesome. It's got better and better.
"They've used data and digital to do that and they've created an experiential model that's greater than their peers."
Much of the details of what Spark is evolving is under wraps. But asked for a concrete example of something that might evolve from the experiential focus Snodgrass's teams will adopt, he replies "Why can't you order broadband fibre like you order an Uber taxi? I can't see any reason why you couldn't, other than a bit of design and build.
"We're going to look across our customer journeys by products and we're looking for pain points or frictions for customers that we can move by applying digital capabilities at pace."
Snodgrass acknowledges the digital-first approach may be somewhat "confronting" for Spark staff in the initial stages.
"But I'm pretty confident there is a lot of innovation in our workforce, particularly in process. Staff are awesome at finding fixes to things."
Some core principles have been adopted, among them: obsess on the customer experience; reimagine the business model from the customer back; challenge everything; set quite unreasonable targets internally; digital best practices; acquire and ring-fence key talent; follow the money.
Inevitably there will be the occasional epic fail but Snodgrass says Spark has embraced Digital First with a passion.
"New Zealand should do the same."

Shopify: How does TaxJar handle Partial Refunds?
If you are running partial refunds for any Shopify orders, Shopify does not tell us if it is a shipping refund, sales tax refund, or an item refund.
- We do our best with partial refunds from Shopify, but Shopify may not indicate where the refund was applied.
- This means that our system will distribute the refund evenly across the order.
- At this time, the best method to correct these refunds is by importing a CSV file to update the refund Transactions.
If no sales tax was refunded on these orders, and these orders were exempt from sales tax when the original transaction occurred, then you would want to mark these transactions as exempt.
You can update and correct those transactions in TaxJar by creating a CSV with those sales and their proper location.

I've left Romania for Canada more than fifteen years ago and I wish I had a similar book about Canada and Canadians. Now, with a good understanding of how westerners live and socialize, I can see how confusing Romania can be for them. As I was reading this guide and its various amusing chapters about how a foreigner would perceive various Romanian customs, I had many moments where I would chuckle and think "OMG, this is so true, I've never seen it that way!". I can tell that the author had many patient guides himself, guides that introduced him to all that's good and bad about Romania, from the sweet taste and fragrance of the wild strawberries, the welcoming people and sights taken from fairy tales, to the mind boggling bureaucracy and the scary night traffic on country roads.
As a Romanian, I would have very little to add to this book and I would recommend this book to all that want to not just visit Romania but to also understand the people and enrich their experience.
Well worth the price.
Highly recommended if
- you are a Romanian - it won't hurt to understand your country
- you are a Romanian in exile - it won't hurt to understand what you left behind
- you came to live here - this is your best starting guide
- you travel in Romania and would like to "see" deeper than the usual turist.
However, if you are planning on a longer stay in Romania or the region, this book is an excellent look into the culture. It reads rather like a blog--emoticons, occasional typos, and all--but the way in which the information is divided and presented (concise, anecdotal) makes it exactly the sort of blog you would wish to consult when learning about or visiting Romania. I'm sure the fact that the book is occasionally politically incorrect will put off some people, but don't let that prevent you from enjoying the book as a whole. (As someone who works in a Roma community in neighboring Bulgaria, I admit that I cringed when reading the "Gypsy" section, which is based purely on stereotypes. Sure, it's funny and not totally inaccurate, but I would strongly recommend supplementing your knowledge of Roma culture elsewhere if you'd like a more in-depth understanding.)
All in all, the book provides a handy look into the country, and is a smooth read that can be read in one sitting or in theme-specific chunks. Again, living in nearby Bulgaria, I found many parts of this insightful to the region as a whole, and was interested to learn of some similar or shared traditions with my adopted country. (Some of these included holidays like Martisor/Baba Marta, foods like mici/kebabcheta and ciftele/kyufteti, shared words--Slavic, Turkic, or otherwise--and even commonly held beliefs; the chapter titled "Moving Air: Bringer of Sickness" made me guffaw, as it perfectly reflects the mindset where I live as well.Read more ›
One reviewer expressed her concern that this isn't a standard traveler's guide, with street maps and hotel recommendations. That is absolutely true, and one of those can be pretty handy. But I own a bunch of those, and while I certainly do use them, Sam's book is the one I use when I am trying to understand Romania.
Another reviewer suggested that the book has a bias against missionaries. I'm not so sure; I am a missionary in Romania myself, and get along with the author pretty well. (We live in the same town, and know each other socially). If I had to guess, I would say that Sam has a bias against the stereotypical rude foreigner, who travels through a country without paying attention to the customs, and the feelings, of the local population. He wrote the book to help keep that from happening, and I for one am grateful that he did.

Reality began to settle in, however, when it became apparent that details of the master plan to save the Eurozone were missing or, as the U.K. Telegraph expressed it, “full of rhetoric but devoid of detail.” And the additional bailout of Greece in the amount of $11 billion will barely be enough to keep that country afloat for another month. The “troika” of internationalists (the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank — the EU, the IMF, and the ECB) who have been pressuring Greece to increase its austerity measures in order to “qualify” for the money noted that Greece simply won’t be able to meet its 2011 objectives: Its targets are “no longer within reach” due to “slippages” in the Greek economy, but things ought to be just fine by 2012.
Observers of the Eurozone’s rolling crises have concluded that Greece is insolvent and that default on its nearly $500 billion of sovereign debt is just a matter of time. Inevitable parallels are being drawn to Argentina’s default in December of 2001 on most of its $132 billion sovereign debt, and the question being asked of Greece is, Why delay the inevitable? Why not just admit the reality, declare your solvency, and get on with life? Just like Argentina?
There are significant parallels between the crises. The Argentine crisis had been brewing for years (some say as far back as 1913 when the welfare state began to be installed) but came to a head when a new government was elected in December, 1999 and found itself facing years of mismanagement and fraud left over from the previous administration, including much higher debts and deficits than had been claimed. In December of 2000, Argentina fell for the siren song of the IMF (“we’re here to help you”) and received its first bailout. IMF aid made the problem worse. The Argentine currency, the peso, was tied one-to-one to the American dollar and had become grossly overvalued. With foreign trade declining and interest payments to the IMF increasing, the government couldn’t continue supporting the peso. An overnight devaluation of the currency took place, dropping the peso’s purchasing power by 40 percent over one weekend, and beginning an inflationary spiral that reached an annual rate of 5,000 percent by the summer of 2002. The continued decline of the peso to 4 pesos per dollar reduced the standard of living of the average citizen drastically. By October 2002 nearly 60 percent of the population was living under the poverty line (defined as not having enough to eat). At the worst, some 30 to 40,000 people scavenged the streets for cardboard to eke out a living by selling it to recycling plants.
Under continued pressure by the IMF to pay up, the government defaulted on its debt. The 500,000 foreign holders of Argentina’s debt took “haircuts” of 65 percent, but the IMF was paid back in full. Argentine President Nestor Kirchner told the United Nations Assembly that the IMF had revealed its true colors, “which took it from being a lender for development to a creditor demanding privileges.”
Once the financial pressure had been lifted, Argentina took advantage of its agricultural resources, especially soybeans, and began selling its crops to China in exchange for currency that could be converted to dollars. The recovery was dramatic, with gains in its Gross Domestic Product between 2003 and 2007 averaging nine percent annually. Wages increased sharply as well, pulling down the number in poverty from over 50 percent to under 12 percent.
Casual observers might be quick to suggest that Greece do the same thing: to yank the bandage off the wound in one quick swipe rather than pulling it off an inch at a time, but the situation in Greece is different in some substantial ways, including the degree to which the Greeks have succumbed to the welfare state, with more than a quarter of its working citizens holding government jobs, usually with union support. Although Greece has some specialization in chemicals and petrochemicals, and its other mineral wealth has been depleted.
As noted by Floyd Norris in the New York Times,
The Argentine experience was not pretty, but it may well be more attractive than the seemingly endless rounds of austerity, strikes and missed fiscal targets that seem to be leaving the Greek economy in a permanent recession. From the Greek perspective, the course [of declaring default] could seem attractive.
While ignoring any mention of regaining its national sovereignty from the clutches of the “troika” and the resultant negative implications for the Eurozone itself, Norris suggests that Greece would benefit from being on its own once again. It could reinstate its own currency, the drachma, in place of the Euro, it could declare that it won’t be honoring foreign holders of its debt, and it could begin the hard road back to independence and self-sufficiency.
It would be a hard road. It would mean that, without continuing support from supranational financial interests, it would have to live within its means. That would be a major adjustment for those attached to and dependent upon the welfare state. Realistically, the drachma would soon be seriously devalued in the process, meaning that the citizens would again be paying the bill for their freedom. At least, as Norris puts it, it’s not likely that foreign troops would invade Greek soil to enforce Eurozone agreements. He notes, “In other words, Greece would fare poorly if it tried the Argentine strategy, but would have hope for recovery.”
Ansgar Belke, a professor at the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin, agrees with Norris: “What happened in Argentina proves that it is possible for a country to come back after bankruptcy and once again play an important role in international financial markets.” He concluded,
I always supported a restructure of debt in Greece. The damage would not be as grave as is commonly feared. Greece is a relatively small country. A restructure would stagger a few German and French banks … but this scenario is more sensible than the massive credit that we’re currently giving.

5 answered / 1 voted, 9 viewed.
The recommended oil type and capacity for a Kia Cerato can vary depending on the model year, engine type, and trim level of the vehicle. However, I can provide you with some general information on the oil type and capacity for the Kia Cerato.
The Kia Cerato is a compact car that has been in production since 2004. For most models, the recommended oil type is SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30. The oil capacity for the Kia Cerato is typically around 3.2 to 4.5 quarts (3.0 to 4.3 liters), depending on the engine type and model year.
To determine the specific oil type and capacity for your Kia Cerato, it's always best to refer to the owner's manual or consult with a Kia dealership. The owner's manual will typically provide detailed information on the recommended oil type and capacity for your specific model and year.
It's important to keep up with regular oil changes according to the recommended schedule to ensure your Kia Cerato engine remains properly lubricated and running smoothly. Neglecting regular oil changes can lead to engine damage and other mechanical problems.

Does Rayman Origins on the Vita represent portable platforming at its finest? Find out!
Everyone needs to play Rayman Origins. I love this game so much. I bought it on PS3 when it first came out and couldn't put it down until I got the platinum. One of the best 2D platformers I've ever played. I'll probably buy the PS Vita version when it's cheaper.
Fantastic game, completely agree with the score you gave it.
was great on PC, glad they brought it to steam.
I bought the Wii version.
My favorite Vita game thus far. Such a hilarious game.
There's a deal on PSN where they axed 10€ from this games price. Instead of costing 35€ now it only costs 25€. Get it while its hot because the discount is for a limited time only. XperiaRay
