If you remove it you will have to deal with the fact that it is integrated with the engine computer and that could lead to problems. Probably not a big problem with just a DPF. Depends on what system is installed. A talk with Pete's service department might give you some info. Different manufacturers take different steps to make sure the units are not tampered with. They are all made to be disassembled, which means they can all be gutted, which destroys the unit but won't mess with the electronics. Oh, by the way, if you think you are going to see a big performance or fuel mileage gain you are going to be in for a surprise. Oh, did I mention the fines involved if the wrong people find it missing?

It will take time to move the deadlocked North Korea nuclear talks forward because Pyongyang must reverse its previous denial that it sought to enrich uranium, South Korea's top nuclear envoy said Wednesday. The North agreed in October to disable its nuclear facilities and provide a declaration of its nuclear programs by the end of 2007. However, the process has come to a standstill because the US says the North has yet to provide a complete list. "The issue of declaration is a difficult one in its essence," South Korean nuclear envoy Chun Yung-woo said at a news conference marking the first anniversary of the landmark deal. For Pyongyang to account for its nuclear programs, "it would take time and efforts as (the North) has to change its previous claims," he said.

Head to your backyard and note down the birds that stop by. Your contribution to important data on birds is immeasurable
All you need to do is spend 20 minutes each day over four days (February 14 – 17) and write down the birds you see. If you do that you are a valuable contributor to the global Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). “The findings by every single participant of this activity counts” says P. Jeganathan of Tamil Birders Network, adding, “Did you know that it was during the GBBC in the U.S that birders learnt of the population and distribution of the Eurasian-collared Dove?”
Mittal Gala who is the Programme Co-ordinator of Bird Count India, an organisation that promotes bird listing, documentation and monitoring says, “The Great Backyard Bird Count was launched in 1988 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society in the US. Since 2013, this event is observed in many other countries including ours.” According to Jeganathan, there was a Christmas Bird Count in the US in the 80s that kick started the ‘stop hunting, start counting’ culture.

This annual activity aims to answer important questions. How are birds distributed? Are they affected by changes in habitat and weather? Has the population been changing from year-to-year? “It also helps to disprove unscientific data,” says Jeganathan. For example, the house sparrows. “It was said the mobile towers brought down the population of the birds. This is not true. The mapping of sparrows during the bird count clearly shows them distributed across the world. The findings of the common birder goes a long way in conservation. It gives a picture of the current status of birds and whether they are threatened. For instance, in Kerala, the data from backyard bird count helped save the wetlands.”
“We have been actively participating for the last three years,” says K. Selvaganesh, who teaches English at Cinchona Government High School in Valparai. Along with his students, he won ebird’s Great Backyard Bird Count challenge 2017. They contributed 360 checklists of birds, the highest number in the bird count challenge, and recorded 111 species. They could do this because their school is located at an altitude of 1100 mts in the south of the Western Ghats, Anamalai Hills. This is a hotspot of birds, both endemic and migratory. “During the count we could study the migratory pattern and distribution of the Grey Wagtail. It comes from the Himalayan region to the Southern part of Peninsular India. The cumulative data from across the world helped us track its path.”
Mittal says the objective is not just to record bird species but also to get an understanding of the common birds around us. “Before GBBC, if someone asked us what was the most common bird species in India we did not have a clear answer. But now we can now say with confidence that the two of the most common species across the country are the Red-vented Bulbul and Common Myna. The data has helped to understand our birds better. It has also initiated new people in bird watching and bird monitoring, who have gone on to help with conservation efforts.”
- From February 1 4 to 17. Be it your backyard, a garden, a wetland or wildlife reserve – you can count birds anywhere in the world and from any location. Go birding for at least 15 minutes, counting and noting down the species you see and hear. It doesn’t matter if you can’t identify every bird — what you can describe good enough!
- Login to www.ebird.org/india and submit your list
- eBird is an online platform where birdwatchers can enter their bird observations. It acts like an online notebook where one can enter date, time, location, species and the count of each species you see during the birding excursion. It helps you maintain lists, add photographs and birdcalls.
- If you have an android device, download eBird app. Create an account and install the India pack. Set preferences relevant to India. Submit a list.
- Since it started in 2013 there has been an increase in the number of bird watchers and check lists each year. Of the 13.7 million records from India on eBird, one million have been uploaded during the GBBCs (2013 to 2019). In the 2019 edition alone, the GBBC engaged over 1,786 birders who uploaded over 22,273 lists and reported 852 species

R. Mohammed Saleem of Environment Conservation Group also believes that the count will initiate more people into birding. He himself has been a part of the GBBC India for many years. “A number of educational institutions as well as corporates take part in their campus. Some of them of go on to become regular bird watchers,” he says. Saleem says the e-Bird app is a handy tool as it lists out birds in a particular locality. “You have to briefly describe the activity, if the bird was eating, nesting or fighting or taking off and if it was a male or a female. You can also upload bird calls on the app. During one such bird count activities, we observed the nesting of Black-naped monarch flycatcher at Walayar.”
Saleem and his team also documented the Black Baza at Sadivayal near Siruvani. “It’s a winter visitor and we saw more than 10 of them. When this data is correlated with other data from across the globe we get a population mapping of the bazas. A number of studies of Amur Falcons that migrates from Russia and Siberia to Africa via Nagaland in India was also facilitated by the bird count.”

SW Indiana utility suspending disconnections through May 31
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A southwestern Indiana utility said Tuesday it will suspend customer disconnections through May 31 following an outcry over high gas bills over the winter.
CenterPoint Energy said in a news release that its move aims “to help customers needing payment assistance” and added that the company is “working on additional measures to assist customers.”
Natural gas prices have risen around the globe, partly due to supply issues, and a rate increase for Evansville area CenterPoint customers took effect in October.
Those rising costs have led to protests at local government meetings by members of the Facebook group Direct Action Against CenterPoint Energy, the Evansville Courier & Press reported.
Those individuals pushed all nine Evansville City Council members to draft a letter last month encouraging CenterPoint to “set policies that provide more support and leniency for low-income and fixed-income customers.”
Kendall Foust, an advocate with DAACE, said that while group sees the disconnect pause as a positive for “captive ratepayers,” it doesn’t go far enough.
CenterPoint warned customers last year that natural gas bills could almost double this winter.
The utility measures natural gas usage through “therms,” or units of heat. In January 2021, customers who used 100 therms in a month paid an average of $74.65. By January 2022, that average cost had risen to $133.57, including distribution fees.


South Africa’s new President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a sober address on Friday that the country will face “tough decisions” as it works to repair its economy after years of stagnation under the turbulent rule of his predecessor Jacob Zuma.
Hailing a “new dawn” a day after his inauguration, he promised to fight corruption, which had weakened the state-owned enterprises in Africa’s most industrialized economy, and to trim a bloated cabinet.
Ramaphosa said his government was committed to “policy certainty and consistency”, in contrast to Zuma, who was criticized for policy shifts and unpredictable cabinet changes that rocked domestic financial markets and confounded investors.
The leader of the opposition, and head of the Democratic Alliance party, Mmusi Maimane, said the president was reading from an old script.
“We could have gotten more bolder action today, but I heard more of the same stuff,” Maimane said.
The 65-year-old was sworn in as head of state on Thursday after Zuma reluctantly resigned on orders of the ANC.
“This is the year in which we will turn the tide of corruption in our public institutions,” Ramaphosa said in his first State of the Nation address.
“We are determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity, that does not tolerate the plunder of public resources, nor the theft by corporate criminals of the hard-earned savings of ordinary people,” he added.
Ramaphosa’s election as president, which was unopposed in the parliament, has prompted a wave of optimism among South Africans hungry for change after nine years of economic stagnation and corruption scandals. Zuma denies all wrongdoing.
“Tough decisions have to be made to close our fiscal gap, stabilize our debt and restore our state-owned enterprises to health,” Ramaphosa said. He promised to make job creation a priority in 2018.
South Africa’s rand ZAR=D3 rallied soon after Ramaphosa started his address, trading near its three-year best.
Financial markets have rallied since Ramaphosa took over from Zuma as ANC leader in December, as investors warmed to his pledges to woo overseas investment.
He thanked Zuma for the way he had approached recent events. Facing waning electoral support for his party, Ramaphosa needs to avoid alienating ANC members still loyal to the 75-year-old former president.
In a direct appeal to poorer black voters – the core of the ANC’s support – Ramaphosa said he would aim to speed up the transfer of land to black people. Two decades after the end of apartheid, the ANC is under pressure to redress racial disparities in land ownership where whites own most of the land.
Ramaphosa said he will pursue a policy of “radical economic transformation” that will speed up expropriation of land without compensation, but said this should be done in a way that increases agricultural production and improves food security.
Ramaphosa said mining had potential for growth and jobs.
“We need to see mining as a sunrise industry,” he said.
South Africa’s mining industry has been a major employer and contributed 7.7 percent to gross domestic product in 2016. The sector also accounts for 25 percent of exports in Africa’s most industrialised economy.
South Africa’s GDP is estimated to grow by around 1 percent this year.


Testing continues with the Glock 43 pistol. During this range trip I used HPR 9mm 115gr TMJ ammo.
Out of the 50 rounds fired, I did encounter 1 failure to eject. However, I have no reason to believe that this was related to the ammo. In fact, I am confident that the malfunction was a direct result of me “limp wristing” the pistol.
Limp wristing is scenario encountered by semiautomatic pistol shooters in which the shooter’s grip is not firm enough and the wrist is not held firm/straight enough to keep the frame of the firearm from traveling rearward while the bolt or slide of the pistol cycles.This condition can result in a failure to complete the operating cycle.
The error occurred about midway through the 50 rounds. It was an extremely hot day, and sweating hands were causing my grip to be less than perfect. As soon as this round fired, I could feel the Glock slip in my hands. So technically, I guess this isn’t exactly the same as limp wristing. But, the results were similar. At this point I wiped the sweat from my hands and had no further issues. I should note that I was not using the Glock 43 magazine with finger extension, which does improve grip surface.
As I said, I am confident that I know what caused the malfunction. Using the magazine with finger extension would probably reduce the chances of it happening again. Despite that, I don’t think I’m ready to give in to using that magazine. The Glock 43 is extremely concealable and comfortable to carry. Would using the magazine extension change that? No, not at all. But, it would make the pistol slightly less concealable. And keep in mind that the magazine with extension does not increase capacity. At this point, I think I just need some more training time with the G43 using the standard magazine.
With regard to my accuracy for the day… It was fair. As you can see from the target below, the top left and bottom left groups are definitely the best. I was using the Compact Shooting Rest from CTK Precision during both of these groups, which eliminates a lot of shooter error. For the other groups I was firing from a standing position.

In College-Guide Season, WC Breaks New Ground
CHESTERTOWN, MD, September 10, 2013— Tis the season for annual updates of college guides, rankings and lists, and Washington College is breaking new ground.
For the first year ever, Washington College has been included in the highly respected Fiske Guide to Colleges. Founded and still led by former New York Times higher-education reporter Edward Fiske, the guide is in its 30th year of recommending the “best and most interesting colleges and universities” in the nation. Washington College is one of 344 schools in the U.S., Canada, Britain and Ireland to be included in the 2014 edition. The Fiske editors describe WC in part as “on the move with upgraded facilities, an expanding student body and innovative offerings in creative writing, American history and environmental studies.”
Late last month, Washington Monthly magazine named Washington College to its new list of colleges that offer the “Best-Bang-for-the-Buck,” which it defines as colleges in the U.S. that “do the best job of helping non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.”
The Princeton Review again named WC as one of its Best 378 Colleges for 2014. It bases its assessments on both institutional data and student surveys. Based on student surveys, the guide describes Washington College as all about “gaining a distinctive and strong education in the liberal arts through personalized programs and hands-one experience, ” and a place where “students learn to think outside the box while becoming better people and having the time of their lives.” Campus life is rated, “as good as a college experience can get,” and the faculty is praised as “world class professors” who love to teach and “bend over backwards to ensure your education.”
“To know that this portrait of Washington College is coming directly from the students gives the Princeton Review’s guide credibility and makes it a great resource for families,” says WC’s new V.P. for Enrollment Management, Satyajit Dattagupta.
Released today, the controversial but influential U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” rankings for 2014 list WC at #107 out of the 180 top-tier private liberal arts colleges that made the list. (The magazine also lists second-tier schools and regional universities in its annual package.) Washington College has been up and down in the U.S. News rankings over the past five years, from #112 in 2010 to #93 in 2011, then from #110 in 2012 up to #96 for 2013. “Even a slight change in the magazine’s methodology or a small change in our data can cause us to drop or rise a few positions,” explains Dale Trusheim, WC’s Assistant Provost for Institutional Research and Assessment.
President Mitchell Reiss says, “it’s wonderful to see Washington College acknowledged and recommended in publications such as Fiske, Princeton Review and U.S. News. Notwithstanding the occasional dip in numerical rankings, the College has steadily climbed into solid top-tier status,” he adds. “I have no doubt that trend will continue, because we continue to offer one of the best liberal arts educations in the country.”

What estate planning documents should I have?
A comprehensive estate plan should include the following documents, prepared by an attorney based on in-depth counseling which takes into account your particular family and financial situation:
A Living Trust can be used to hold legal title to and provide a mechanism to manage your property. You (and your spouse) are the Trustee(s) and beneficiaries of your trust during your lifetime. You also designate successor Trustees to carry out your instructions in case of death or incapacity. Your Living Trust is “revocable” which allows you to make changes and even to terminate it. One of the great benefits of a properly funded Living Trust is the fact that it will avoid or minimize the expense, delays and publicity associated with probate.
If you have a Living Trust-based estate plan, you also need a pour-over will. For those with minor children, the nomination of a guardian must be set forth in a will. The other major function of a pour-over will is that it allows the executor to transfer any assets owned by the decedent into the decedent’s trust so that they are distributed according to its terms.
A Will without a Trust, also referred to as a Last Will and Testament, is primarily designed to transfer your assets according to your wishes. A Will also typically names someone to be your, Personal Representative who is the person you designate to carry out your instructions. If you have minor children, you should also name a Guardian as well as alternate Guardians in case your first choice is unable or unwilling to serve. A Will only becomes effective upon your death, and after it is admitted by a probate court.
A Durable Power of Attorney for Property allows you to carry on your financial affairs in the event that you become disabled. Unless you have a properly drafted power of attorney, it may be necessary to apply to a court to have a guardian or conservator appointed to make decisions for you during a period of incapacitation. This guardianship process is time-consuming, expensive, emotionally draining and often costs thousands of dollars.
The durable power of attorney is immediately effective upon signing. Anyone can be designated, most commonly your spouse or domestic partner, a trusted family member, or friend. Appointing a power of attorney assures that your wishes are carried out exactly as you want them, allows you to decide who will make decisions for you.
How do I name a guardian for my children?
If you have children under the age of eighteen, you should designate a person or persons to be appointed guardian(s) over their person and property. Of course, if a surviving parent lives with the minor children (and has custody over them) he or she automatically continues to remain their sole guardian. This is true despite the fact that others may be named as the guardian in your estate planning documents. You should name at least one alternate guardian in case the primary guardian cannot serve or is not appointed by the court.
What does my estate include?
Your estate is simply everything that you own, anywhere in the world, including:
- Your home or any other real estate that you own
- Your business
- Your share of any joint accounts
- The full value of your retirement accounts
- Any life insurance policies that you own
- Any property owned by a trust, over which you have a significant control
Why is it important to establish an estate plan?
Sadly, many individuals don’t engage in formal estate planning because they don’t think that they have “a lot of assets” or mistakenly believe that their assets will be automatically shared among their children upon their passing. If you don’t make proper legal arrangements for the management of your assets and affairs after your passing, the state’s intestacy laws will take over upon your death or incapacity. This often results in the wrong people getting your assets as well as higher estate taxes.
If you pass away without establishing an estate plan, your estate would undergo probate, a public, court-supervised proceeding. Probate can be expensive and tie up the assets of the deceased for a prolonged period before beneficiaries can receive them. Even worse, your failure to outline your intentions through proper estate planning can tear apart your family as each person maneuvers to be appointed with the authority to manage your affairs. Further, it is not unusual for bitter family feuds to ensue over modest sums of money or a family heirloom.
What is Estate Planning
A proper estate plan involves strategies to minimize potential estate taxes and settlement costs as well as to coordinate what would happen with your home, your investments, your business, your life insurance, your employee benefits (such as a 401K plan), and other property in the event of death or disability. A good estate plan should include directions to carry out your wishes regarding health care matters, so that if you ever are unable to give the directions yourself, someone you know and trust can do that for you.

A new health care solution gains steam
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced yesterday that it has approved Wisconsin's proposal for a reinsurance program — the fourth state to win such a waiver. (The others are Alaska, Minnesota and Oregon.)
The big picture: It's not quite fair to say reinsurance is fully bipartisan or non-controversial — it couldn't get through Congress, after all. But it's about the closest thing to a consensus idea that exists in the world of insurance, and it's continuing to move forward.
The details: Reinsurance is pretty straightforward: The government simply gives insurers money to help offset the costs of their most expensive patients. That lowers premiums overall, which in turn lowers the federal government's costs to subsidize those premiums.
Why it matters: Reinsurance works. Insurers in Minnesota are actually looking to reduce their premiums next year — which almost never happens — and they say the state's reinsurance program is part of the reason.

Your power lies in evaluation and action.
Dream about eggs hatching is about your lack of originality and your tendency to copy other’s ideas/beliefs. You may feel that you are not able to fully express your emotions.

Dream about chickens hatching points to your feelings and circumstances you may be currently experiencing. You are trying to balance too many things in your life. You need to learn to behave appropriately for the different situations and various circumstances you find yourself in. It is a premonition for guidance toward the center and self-orientation. You should not put all your trust in one person.

Dream about bird eggs hatching points at your lack of trust in others. You are lacking confidence in yourself. You will be promoted in your job or recognized for your achievement in a difficult task.

Dream about snake eggs hatching points at a slippery or elusive situation. You are too yielding in a situation. Stand up for yourself. You are being weighed down by your emotions or by a negative situation. This dream is a warning signal for unrealized hopes. You feel defenseless, weak and powerless.

Amid Young Thug’s (born Jeffery Williams) ongoing RICO case, the Atlanta rapper has been hit with another lawsuit.
According to AllHipHop, concert promotion company AEG is seeking the return of a $5 million advance for the exclusive rights to all of Young Thug’s concerts. The live-entertainment company claims that, although they had the rights to the rapper’s concerts, he allegedly was still booking shows on the side.
“Despite having granted AEG the exclusive right to promote Mr. Williams’ concert performances under the terms of the 2017 Artist Agreement, YSL and Mr. Williams immediately failed and refused to honor their respective obligations under the 2017 Artist Agreement by, among other things, disregarding AEG’s rights, performing concerts without AEG’s involvement, and retaining all proceeds generated therefrom,” AEG’s lawyer, Kathleen Jorrie explained.
AEG then hit Young Thug with a lawsuit wanting the $5 million returned, plus interest; they are seeking at least $6 million in damages, which includes the interest on the advance, the rights to YSL and the name Young Thug, and attorney fees.
Young Thug and AEG were set to have a court date on October 22, 2022 but since the rapper is in an ongoing legal battle due to his YSL RICO case, the court date has been pushed further. According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Thug and AEG will face off in court on October 24, 2023.

Congress Won’t Secure Border, But Will Add Weapons & Defenses to White House
The House voted Monday to beef up White House security, including more weapons and defenses for the building and training for the Secret Service.
The measure would be a helping hand after a series of scandals have left the agency responsible for protecting the president with its tail between its legs.
The Secret Service Improvements Act of 2015 will provide extra training for agents, upgrade the White House’s security, and increase transparency.
The Secret Service has had a series of failures: multiple White House fence jumpers, including one who made it all the way into the building, and allegations that two agents drove a car into a White House barricade after drinking at a party.
“Incidents in recent years involving agent misbehavior and security lapses due to performance issues prompted my colleagues and I to propose this bipartisan bill to improve the Secret Service,” Democrat Rep. John Conyers said in a statement.
The bill passed 365-16 and instructs the Secret Service to evaluate new defenses for the White House, as well as additional weapons. It authorizes more training and the construction of new training facilities in Beltsville, Md.
“Multiple lapses in conduct and judgment have created a jarring distrust between the public and the Agency,” Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner said in a statement. “This legislation is a step in the right direction to restoring that trust.”

Location data needs to be both accurate and precise for it to be effective. But most marketers cannot tell the difference between the two. In the second episode of Everything You Need to Know (EYNTK) about location-based advertising, Ian James, general manager international at Verve explains how to bring them together.
Consumers carry their mobile devices with them everywhere. This provides marketers ample opportunities to target them with personalised messaging across different phases of the day. But if a marketer wants to distinguish between a mum and a city worker, the location data needs to be both accurate and precise so brands can start targeting individuals rather than mass audiences.
In the video, James explains how to distinguish between accurate and precise data. He also reveals how precision brings granular intelligence to accurate data, enabling marketers to build up accurate assumptions about consumers based on the data over time.
“Accurate and precise location data is at the core of all audience builds. Great location data can be overlaid with other data sets. Points of interest, CRM, and demographic data. This enables brands to target great audiences at scale,” he says.
Catch up on last week’s episode here as James outlines the opportunity behind location-based advertising.
Next week’s episode will examine the importance of deriving quality location data for targeting purposes. Sign up to our newsletter to ensure you do not miss the next episode in the series.

Chocolatier Julia Baker debuts Cooking Channel show
Chefs can be both informative and entertaining. Our Chef Q&A seriesoffers a peek into the kitchens and minds of the Valley's top chefs.
Chef: Julia Baker, head chef and CEO of Valley-based Julia Baker Confections.
TV show: "Sweet Julia," a six-episode series that premieres Saturday, June 21, on Cooking Channel (check TV listings).
What's your new favorite ingredient?
Well, I would be remiss if I didn't say that chocolate is my new favorite and my old favorite. Chocolate can reinvent itself each time you open your mind to it. In this season of "Sweet Julia," I grate chocolate in beef chili — this is my hometown Cincinnati Chili. Who would have thought that beef and chocolate could go so beautifully together? Any Cincinnati kid, that's for sure.
What's your best tip for the home cook?
"Mise en place." The literal translation: put in place. But for a cook, it's the key to de-stressing the process. Have your ingredients measured out ahead of time and "put in place" before you turn on the stove and get cooking.
Why did you become a chef?
I went to college to be an actuary. I studied statistics and had a long career in software. During that time, I traveled on business almost every week. I ate at fabulous restaurants around the country and fell in love with food. I wanted to know how to re-create the flavors I tasted. Wolfgang Puck and Charlie Trotter were influential in pointing me towards France.
What's your favorite cooking tool and why?
There are so many! I'll give you three: Number 1 and without a doubt: a rubber spatula. How else can you effortlessly scrape every morsel from a bowl? I have one in every size and every color. Number 2: a kitchen scale — in baking, it's a must. Weighing ingredients is really the only true way to guarantee consistent results time after time. Number 3: a rubber garlic peeler. You know, those odd little rubber tubes that you may have seen but have no idea what they're for. ... Put a clove of garlic inside and push down, rolling back and forth on your counter. The skin falls off the clove and you save your fingers from smelling all night.
What's your favorite childhood meal?
It's not so much a meal as it is all things sweet. I loved my mom's Christmas cookies frosted with loads of sugary icing and her lemon meringue pie. When I was about 6 years old, I ate the meringue off of five whole pies that my mom had made for a neighborhood block party. I guess you could say that I had a passion for sweets early in my life.
What are a few of your favorite Valley eateries?
Since I eat so much sugar, I try to balance my guilty pleasure by eating wholesome meals. At my office in the Scottsdale Airpark, we get takeout from True Food Kitchen at the Scottsdale Quarter for lunch or dinner at least three times a week. When I'm down at our boutique at Biltmore Fashion Park, I also enjoy Central Bistro and Chelsea's Kitchen.
What's your guilty pleasure?
Well, that's the thing about being a pastry chef. A "guilty pleasure" is actually R&D (research & development).

Don't Bet Your Lunch Money on a GrubHub Buyout!
After news broke on June 13 that Priceline Group would be buying OpenTable in a transaction valuing the firm at $2.6 billion, shares of not only the acquired business but also GrubHub , one of the firm's competitors, moved higher. Based on Mr. Market's reaction, it appears as though investors might be anticipating a buyout offer from another company for GrubHub, but is it more likely that the possibility of such a deal is overstated?
Does Priceline's Purchase of OpenTable make sense?
In exchange for $2.6 billion in cash, Priceline will be taking hold? taking hold of a profitable and fast-growing enterprise. In its most recent annual report, OpenTable claimed to have revenue of $190.1 million, up 36% from the $139.5 million the business reported two years earlier. The main contributor to this increase in sales was its number of diners seated, which soared 61% from 89.5 million to 144.1 million.
From a profitability perspective, the reservation service has done even better. Between 2011 and 2013, the company saw its net income skyrocket 55% from $21.6 million to $33.4 million. In addition to benefiting from higher revenue, management reported a nice improvement in its cost structure, primarily its cost of goods sold, which fell from 28.2% of sales to 25.4%.
Although the business is a costly transaction for Priceline, it will likely be easy for the company to scale up its operations. Currently, more than 1 million guests are placed in hotels every night under Priceline across 480,000 properties. With just 31,553 restaurants using its services, OpenTable is small by comparison, but given the significant size of its acquirer, it seems realistic that Priceline can grow its operations and profitability immensely.
Don't expect such a deal with GrubHub!
Based on the potential for Priceline to grow OpenTable's operations, it would be reasonable to expect one of the company's competitors making a bid for rival GrubHub. Unfortunately, though, the likelihood of such a transaction seems to be slim given both the cost and profitability of the reservation site.
Using 2013's metrics, GrubHub is being valued by Mr. Market at 20 times revenue and 412 times profits. By both measures, this is far more expensive than OpenTable, which is being bought out for just under 14 times revenue and 78 times profits. If the company were a higher-margin business, it would make sense for there to be a substantial premium, but this is not the case.
|(current trading multiple)||OpenTable||GrubHub|
Between 2011 and 2013, GrubHub saw its revenue climb an impressive 126% from $60.6 million to $137.1 million. During this same period, however, the business's net income fell by 56% from $15.2 million to $6.7 million. Despite seeing higher revenue, management reported an increase in its cost of goods sold, which rose from 32.3% of sales to 36.1%.
This disparity suggests GrubHub is focusing more on growth than it is on profits, which has the potential to create value down the road. On the other hand, it also points to a picture where a buyout offer would carry with it little to no premium over its current price.
It seems Priceline might be making a good choice by gobbling up OpenTable. In addition to opening a new door of opportunity, Priceline appears to have done so at a fraction of what it would have cost to acquire GrubHub. In response to this strategic move, it wouldn't be out of the question for one of Priceline's peers to snatch up GrubHub, but given how expensive the company already is, any deal seems unlikely and, if completed, would almost certainly be at a smaller premium than OpenTable's was.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
One of the best ways to access GrubHub and OpenTable has been to use your handy, dandy smartphone. Now, however, Apple is working on a piece of wearable technology that could bring a whole new world of mobile to the forefront.
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

For Immediate Release
Know your flood risks
Newmarket, ON – May 29, 2017 - recent national study suggests that many Canadians are unaware of the risks posed by flooding. The study, Canadian Voices on Changing Flood Risk, surveyed 2,300 people living in flood risk zones across Canada and found that 94% of them didn't know they were at risk.
According to Tom Hogenbirk, Manager of Engineering at the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), there's no reason this number should be so high in Ontario. "I'd like to think that more Ontarians are taking advantage of what conservation authorities' offer," Mr. Hogenbirk says.
Hogenbirk oversees flood protection efforts at LSRCA, one of 36 conservation authorities (CAs) in Ontario. Conservation authorities are unique to Ontario, with a key mandate to protect people and property from flooding and other natural hazards.
While the CA mandate to protect includes monitoring watershed conditions and providing warnings of potential for flooding, a lesser known role that factors big into the equation is managing development in high risk areas. "Regulating development in flood prone zones is probably the simplest and most efficient way we protect people," says Bev Booth, Manager of Regulations at LSRCA.
Conservation authorities employ specialized staff with expertise in a range of disciplines like hydrology, climate change, ecology and biology - to name just a few. They also have staff versed in the various pieces of legislation that exist. Bev acknowledges that it can be a real challenge to try and explain how all these factor into their decisions.
Conservation authorities in Ontario face a number of challenges in their role of protecting residents from natural hazards such as flooding. The world is not static, which means flood zone maps need to be updated regularly. Infrastructure is aging and therefore not keeping pace with the new pressures placed on it by climate change and extreme weather. Still, the CA mandate to protect people and property from flooding means they are a resource for anyone looking to understand their flood risk.
LSRCA has maps that you can view online anytime. The maps show areas that lie within its regulations, which include flood zones. To see if your property is located within a regulated area, visit www.maps.LSRCA.on.ca. To find out if you are in a flood zone, you must call the LSRCA office at
905-895-1281 or come in person to 120 Bayview Parkway in Newmarket. The office is open regular business hours (8:30 – 4:30), Monday to Friday.
It is the mission of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority to collaborate, protect and restore the Lake Simcoe watershed with innovative research, policy and action.

AN INTERNET troll who subjected Scots Tory leader Ruth Davidson to homophobic abuse apologised yesterday – but insisted she was exercising her freedom of speech.
Paula Stocks posted on her Facebook page: “Anyone else here feel that Ruth Davidson is a butchy wee lesbo bitch??”
Yesterday, Stocks, of St Monans, Fife, initially refused to comment.
But after taking a moment to think, she said: “I can understand why some people might find it pretty offensive. I regretted writing it afterwards but I wouldn’t know how to go and find it again after this.
“You’ve got freedom of speech on Facebook you know, people say things about me as well.”
She added: “I phrased it wrong and I can get a bit opinionated and a bit heated as well because of the political situation that’s been going on recently. I’ve probably been a bit irate and I just took it out on Ruth.”
We yesterday revealed how Twitter and Facebook are littered with homophobic references to Ruth’s sexuality , with users calling her a “lesbo c***” and a “dyke” in recent weeks.
Davidson said she was determined to highlight the insults against her to show Scotland’s young people that attacks on LGBT people are not acceptable.
She told us: “It is important to me that I retweet, highlight or challenge a cross-section of homophobic abuse I receive so that young people feel able to do the same.”


Could Google kill the cell phone industry?: This is a very interesting picture of why one guy thinks Google wants to lease the 700Mhz spectrum from the U.S. government. He makes a good case…and an exciting one.
With full leasing ownership of the 700MHz spectrum, Google will try to effectively cripple the cell phone industry. […] Google is requesting “open devices” that will work on the “open networks.” In other words, Google wants to create the ability for companies (and most likely itself) to create devices that will seamlessly connect to the broadband spectrum. Why can’t one of those devices be a phone?
[…] Within no time, Google will announce that wireless will be made available to the public through its system. After all, it did it in San Francisco, why won’t it do it all over the country? In effect, Google would run a “third broadband pipe.”
[…] Once the company announces the wireless broadband to the nation, it will immediately announce that Google Phone everyone has been talking about. The Google Phone will work specifically with the Google system (kind of like Skype) and will be free of charge.

As the Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed its second round of its Zero Emission Bus Regional Area (ZEBRA2) programme last week, the £129m funding attached to it came as a source of hope for a large number of English regions that are looking to cut their CO2 emissions but at present have limited resources to do so.
The aim of the game is faster roll-out of electric and hydrogen buses across the country – or, more specifically, outside London – and the second round of the scheme will help towards that end, with a wider pool of regions and communities now eligible.
There is one challenge that funding alone cannot solve, however, that being the task of planning infrastructure, navigating the application process and completing the operational roll-out of vehicles. But the timescales for applications for ZEBRA2 are very tight, with local transport authorities required to apply by mid-December. Once funding is announced, orders must be placed with vehicle manufacturers by the end of January 2025.
With just 17 out of 48 eligible regions having received funding during the first round of ZEBRA, these are clear barriers to funding uptake in regions that would – with the right technical support – otherwise be eager to put these vehicles on the road.
It’s the British countryside and the residents of our towns and cities in particular that stand to benefit, from improved air quality and an all-round more attractive passenger experience.
The good news in particular about the new-look ZEBRA2 is that it will prioritise £25m for rural communities, in a similar vein to ScotZEB2, given the importance of funding for remote areas in which building green bus infrastructure can be more expensive.
Minibuses that carry between nine and 22 passengers have also been included in the new package, boosting the opportunities for SMEs and organisations that play a vital role across society. SMMT is still awaiting the results of the licence changes consultation carried out earlier this year which, it is hoped, will allow standard driving licence holders to drive minibuses, safely increasing the pool from which minibus drivers can be recruited.
ZEBRA2 will also fund some 75% of total infrastructure capital expenditure, which can be a major barrier for a sector that operates within naturally tight margins. As such, the scheme represents forward progress for Britain’s bus, coach and minibus sector, not just towards decarbonisation but also for levelling up, boosting road transport services and growing ridership levels.
It requires a holistic approach with input from all stakeholders, and next week’s SMMT Electrified will be another key step, bringing together industry leaders, government and the media to discuss the key issues facing the UK automotive sector as we edge closer to achieving our green targets. We’re expecting a full house on the day and I look forward to catching up with SMMT members and stakeholders there.

One Billion Indians get free 4G from the nation’s richest man
Hundreds of millions of Indians are set to get free access to the internet with speeds of 4G in the next few years.
The Indian consumers are in jubilant mood at the arrival of Reliance Jio service by Mukesh Ambani which will seize a promise from the billionaire to offer downloadable speeds which enable video streaming.
India enjoys an 80 percent 4G coverage that awesome introductory offers. Indians will access Jio freely until the end of 2016 after which they will pay only $2.25 per month to use the data.
Ambani spoke to investors at his company where he said that the digital era is taking over at a faster rate.
Increase internet access
Not many Indians have access to the internet, with statistics suggesting only 1/5th of the adults do. There are also some few public WI-FI hotspots and broadband connections which are not fast enough in poorer urban areas due to lack of infrastructure.
But that is on the verge of changing. If the initiative by Jio becomes a success, Ambani will have a chance to capitalize on seismic shift that will see more Indians come online – in most cases via smartphones.
A bait for tech Giants – Google, Facebook
India is a market that the tech giants have been attempting to venture into. Google began by installing free WI-FI in train stations and Facebook followed by offering a free version of its platform.
Ambani has the target of reaching more than 90 percent of the population. As at the moment, he has constructed about 100,000 telecoms towers across India. His estimate is that 200,000 villages and 18,000 cities are already covered by Jio.
Building a national 4G network from scratch represents a major risk for Ambani, who got out of telecoms about 15 years ago after a dispute with his brother, Anil Ambani, who controls Reliance Communications.
The two brothers have fixed their differences in recent years. Their value when combined is estimated to be $26 billion.
War of Prices
In response to the reliance Jio launch, competing firms have introduced offers of their own. Airtel has cut down the amount it charges for its 3G and 4G services by close to 80% while Vodafone has increased the data in its plans by close to 70%.
New Delhi already enjoys download speeds of 21mb per second, figures that are reflected in most parts of the country.

Cities of the futureThe final aim of a smart city should be focused on uplifting the living standards of the citizens living there.
The growing problems of cities—urbanisation, congestion, pollution, transport and changing life patterns—have compelled many to think of alternatives to address these issues. Thus perhaps came the notion of smart cities that aim to give a new dimension to urbanisation and sustained living. This rethinking, however, should manifest itself in terms of making the cities safer, healthier and advanced. In short, the final aim of a smart city should be focused on uplifting the living standards of the citizens living there.
Bhai Kaji Tiwari, development commissioner of the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority, said on Sunday that the much-awaited detailed project report for the construction of four smart cities in the Kathmandu Valley was finally ready. The Kathmandu Valley Development Authority envisions equipping the smart cities that will be located in the Valley’s north, east, south and west with proper infrastructure, healthcare, water facilities, parks and open spaces and so on.
In fact, according to Tiwari, the smart cities ‘will set an example for well-managed infrastructure in every sector and smart urbanisation’. The idea of creating urban regions that are highly advanced in terms of overall infrastructure and connectivity is welcome, but what consists of a ‘smart city’ entails much more than just that.
While the personnel at the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority have considered the connectivity aspect, not much information has been given about how they plan to localise the economy. For, if there are no local jobs, people will still have to commute to the areas where there are jobs, ultimately defeating the purpose of creating satellite cities and decentralising development and the economy.
For this to happen, the authorities should indulge in extensive deliberation with the private sector, and opt for a public-private partnership model. What’s more, creating four smart cities at once is a bit over ambitious.
The Kathmandu Valley has stuck to makeshift, unmapped and unplanned forms of urban planning for decades. Given this record, it seems a bit far-fetched to believe that the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority will succeed in developing all four smart cities at once.
Not to forget, the cost of making four smart satellite cities in the Valley is estimated to be Rs500 billion. When the authorities decide to invest in something as big as developing a smart city, various factors need to be considered too. From the economic development of that area to the socio-cultural development, integrating the environment in urban planning management and institutional development.
A more sensible and necessary course of action is turning the existing cities into smart cities. This way the government will not have to decimate the last open spaces in the Valley and probably bankrupt the national exchequer. There are better uses for our money.
‘Smart’ has been a catchphrase latched on to the Nepali imaginary with the authorities trying to make everything smart. From cities to toilets, dustbins and zebra crossings. But in their efforts to do so, the authorities concerned should not overlook what should be at the heart of any ‘smart’ initiative: empowered citizens and sustainable solutions.

She has just found love again after being left “heartbroken” by her ex-boyfriend, who claimed their relationship was fake.
Lauren now believes she has found “The One” and is even thinking about having a family with her new partner.
But the journey the very glamorous Lauren took to reach this stage of her life has been unique, colourful and often shocking, to say the least.
Who is Lauren Harries?
Lauren was actually born James Charles Harries in 1978 in Surrey and was brought up in Cardiff. From the age of five he had a fascination for art and antiques and became famous for his apparent ability to spot bargains.
James often appeared on Terry Wogan’s chat show and intrigued viewers with his peculiarly old-fashioned appearance, wearing bow ties and speaking like someone much older than his years.
He also wrote a book, an antique guide, Rags to Riches at the age of 13. But the attention came at a price and a year later after being bullied, James suffered nervous breakdown and tried to commit suicide. His family were also going through the mill and their businesses failed in the recession.
James’ family took him to the doctor regularly because of his feminine mannerisms and eventually he decided to to transition, having sexual reassignment surgery in 2001.
Lauren Charlotte, as she changed her name to, featured in a Channel 4 documentary Little Lady Fauntleroy, which featured her whole family being interviewed by Keith Allen.
When was Lauren on Celebrity Big Brother ?
She featured in the 2013 series when she was 38 and finished up in third place. It was after this that she claimed she’d had sex with Russell Brand after meeting him on the Big Brother’s Big Mouth set.
Lauren claimed it happened in a Holiday Inn in Borehamwood, near the studios.
Russell has always denied the encounter happened and labelled it “his favourite media lie ever”.
What other TV shows has Lauren starred in?
She also appeared in Channel 5’s Trust Me – I’m a Beauty Therapist, Celebrity Juice and is often a guest on This Morning.
She is due to appear on Jeremy Kyle alongside her former friend Lisa Appleton.
Lauren also released a single I Am A Woman in 2015.
Who is Lauren’s boyfriend?
She revealed on This Morning sofa that she has a new boyfriend, Bruce. They met on Instagram after Bruce, who is also transgender, got in touch and after speaking online for a couple of weeks, met up and made their status official.
She said at the time she believed she’d finally met “The One” and may even start a family.
Who was her ex boyfriend?
Bruce apparently mended Lauren’s heart, which was broken by previous boyfriend Connor Yemm.
After being pictured together in various PDAs and going on holiday together, Connor broke that the news that he had never been in a relationship with Lauren and it was all fake.
She maintains it was a real fling and said she was devastated he chose to speak out.

CHICAGO – Fees on index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds attract the eyes of investors and analysts, but Morningstar is shining some light on other aspects that affect fund performance but don’t often catch much attention.
For example, securities lending seems to be a natural for funds full of shares being held for the long haul, but not all asset managers take full advantage of lending. They also handle the proceeds differently, some directing it into the fund to boost performance (and effectively cutting their fee to zero) and others keep some of the revenue to supplement barely-there management fees.
Those were a couple of findings that Alex Bryan, Morningstar Director of Passive Strategies Research, North America, plans to highlight with two other analysts during the session, “ETF and Passive Investments Research Highlights” during this morning’s start of the Morningstar Investment Conference.
As companies cut management fees to near zero, they have fewer distinguishing selling points because they are offering the same index. So, managers are looking to boost performance with practices such as securities lending – and Morningstar wants to see how those companies are pulling those levers.
“It’s harder to keep tabs on it,” Bryan said of securities lending. “But in a world where asset managers are fighting over a few basis points and investors are increasingly treating index funds as commodities, it’s something that is worth paying attention to. It’s worth asking asset managers, ‘Why you taking X% of this revenue when the risks are really on the investors in the fund?’ It’s important for investors to look at this as part of the whole cost that they’re paying into the asset manager.”
That slice paid to the asset manager for an investor’s risk in lending the security is tiny. The amount going back to the manager, if anything, is usually a small portion of the revenue.
“For the most part, most of that income goes back to the fund and the asset manager doesn’t really keep most of that money,” Bryan said. “They may keep some of it in some cases. The practices vary by provider. A lot of times the agent who actually facilitate this arrangement takes the cut before giving that [security] back to the fund company.”
Some managers are cutting out that middle broker – or inserting themselves, as a way of producing revenue as they cut management fees.
Fidelity reached the bottom in the fee race, offering zero-fee mutual funds last year. Securities-lending is one way for the company to generate revenue and acting as the lending agent is another boost.
“They had previously been using I believe it was Goldman Sachs as their lending agent to facilitate these types of transactions” Bryan said. “They’re going to be doing that themselves going forward, at least for U.S. stocks. That’s a way that Fidelity, the asset manager, as well as the lending agent, can earn some revenue off of these funds through that securities lending as a way of kind of recouping some of their expenses associated with operating the funds.”
The risk to investors in lending securities is slight – because of the substantial collateral the borrower has to provide, usually exceeding the value of the borrowed security itself.
The investor is usually the winner when the manager lends securities. In fact, the income can reduce the fund’s expense ratio effectively to nearly zero.
In an example from a Morningstar report: “The average securities-lending income yield for iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM was 0.19% from March 2007 through March 2018. This almost completely offset the fund’s expense ratio, which held steady at 0.20% during this span. Investors that held IWM over this time frame effectively paid 0.01% annually to track the Russell 2000 Index.”
Also from that report, “Securities Lending: An Examination of the Risks and Rewards,” here is how funds used the income:
“One of my favorite exhibits is a chart that shows offsets by securities lending, by year by asset manager,” Bryan said. “There are two components that go into that. The fee that the asset manager charges as well as the income they generate through securities lending. So, a company like TIAA has actually been able to offset a decent chunk of their fees through securities lending. But you’ll see here that in a lot of cases the fee is not telling you the whole story because the asset manager can recoup some of that through securities lending.”
The use of securities lending also reflects the manager’s overall approach. Vanguard, for instance, tends to lend only if it earns attractive compensation.
“Vanguard, the reason that they don’t lend as much is because they’re very conservative,” Bryan said. “BlackRock is able to generate more income and aggregate from that because they have more securities on loan, but they’re lending out oftentimes securities that offer lower yields than what Vanguard’s willing to lend out.”
Small caps tend to command a better yield because of the smaller supply of shares to lend, compared to the mid and large caps.
Although securities-lending is a small revenue factor in asset management, it merits watching, Bryan said. It also merits caution in depending on the practice.
“It’s important to understand what that split looks like and, to be mindful of the fact that even though this can help performance, it’s a less reliable performance enhancer than cutting fees,” Bryan said. “So if I’m able to earn 10 basis points this year, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to be able to earn 10 basis points next year. Securities lending revenue is volatile and it does change over time, but it’s one way in which the asset manager can recoup some of the costs.”

And in just five days, Anna Hazare proved that it wasn’t enough to have an honest prime minister if the country really needed to battle and overcome the cancer of corruption.
That he managed to unite a people as diverse as Indians on an issue like Lokpal bill – which few in the best of times would even know what it is all about – is indeed a remarkable achievement.
Imagine this. Most Indians had no knowledge of who the man was when the steely crusader began his fast in the heart of New Delhi April 5.
In a country of cynical millions, hunger strikes are no more the potent weapons they were when Mahatma Gandhi unleashed them against the Raj.
Although a simple man like the Mahatma, Hazare is not at home in English, which in today’s India can well be a disadvantage considering the profile of youthful and urban India.
But he had other attributes: austere life and a history of struggles – and victories.
He also had the backing of people who too enjoy the reputation of honesty, including Magsaysay award winners Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal.
Hazare had another weapon, one that was not of his making: it was the widespread anger among Indians in the wake of the scandalous revelations of corruption blamed on Suresh Kalmadi, A. Raja and more.
So Hazare proved to be the spark that ignited a wildfire in India.
Within days, people in state after state and in town after town, cutting across their religious and other barriers, realized that they finally had a man who was articulating their anger, their innermost frustration, and their hopes.
The 24-hour television channels only contributed to the cause. They did not create the mass resentment.
The volcano exploded. Jantar Mantar, an 18th century observatory, became Cairo’s Tahrir Square, drawing tens of thousands of young and old, educated and not so educated, retired and the still working, politically conscious and politically apathetic, housewives and Bollywood.
It was dominantly middle class though.
Suddenly, people strained to hear every word of a man they had never met before. By Day 4, the protest site had become so thick with people that there was no place to stand without being jostled.
There was undisguised display of patriotism – the euphoria matched only by the celebrations that followed India’s World Cup victory in cricket.
People waved the Indian flag – prompting Hazare to call his crusade against corruption a second independence movement.
The backdrop of the protest site had a map of India with the proverbial Bharat Mata. There was a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi and of Bhagat Singh, India’s Che.
Each time the fasting man spoke, the crowds roared. Complete strangers became one.
For a long time no one had heard non-political crowds raise such full throated cries of Vande Mataram and Mahatma Gandhi ki Jai on the streets.
By the time Hazare called off his fast, many were begging to touch his feet. He was their hero, their hope.
Like it or not, Anna Hazare is no more a name. He has become a symbol.

The United Nations' refugee agency has confirmed that up to 3,000 fleeing Iraqi villagers have been captured by Isis, while the militants executed at least 12 of them. In its daily report, the UNHCR said the villagers had been attempting to leave Kirkuk in the Hawiga District.
"UNHCR has received reports that Isil captured on 4 August up to 3,000 IDPs (internally displaced people) from villages in Hawiga District in Kirkuk Governorate trying to flee to Kirkuk city," the report stated.
Also on 4 August, the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights issued a statement that around 120 Isis fighters had captured 1,900 civilians with some being used as shields against attacks by Iraqi Security Forces. Tens of civilians had been executed, and six burnt, Reuters reported.
Only days earlier, on 31 July, militants attacked a gas facility and an oilfield near Kirkuk when gunmen on motorbikes opened fire on Iraq's North Oil Company. Militants also attacked the nearby Bai Hassan oil station, killing an engineer and sparking a major fire.
Following the US military coalition's targeting of Isis, the militants' grip on some towns has been broken, but it still controls Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria.
Meanwhile the UNHCR is constructing a site northeast of Mosul for 6,000 people and is preparing another northwest of the city for 15,000, although many more are in need. Tens of thousands who fled Fallujah have not returned since Isis recaptured the city in June.
In a statement, UNHCR said: "Although local authorities have suggested that returns to Fallujah could begin in September, the Ministry of Migration and Displacement has stated that it may take another three months before conditions are conducive for large scale returns."

Separated, but Equal
It took me several years of marriage to figure out that it’s not possible for my father to have been completely at fault and my mother an innocent bystander. I see the role I play in my own marriage, how I antagonize, compromise, criticize, complement, annoy, and love just as much as my husband does.
My parents now live completely separate lives. I would say they are separate but equal, though I doubt my mother who is not as financially successful as my father, would agree with the equal part. The equality comes from the freedom they now enjoy to be who they really are. Who they really are has certainly been a little unexpected for me: I never thought I'd have a stepmom with a tatoo or a stepdad who wasn't, um, a man. I never thought my dad would become a pilot or my mom would be a (wait for it...) marriage and family therapist. I certainly never thought I'd get along as well as I do with my dad or be as frustrated as I sometimes am with my mom.
I'm probably a little unexpected for them too. The daughter who insisted upon wearing parachute pants to Catholic school and mini skirts that left little to the imagination has settled down in a traditional wife/mother role in a small New England town. My brothers, sister, and I are spread around the U.S. making getting all of us together something that hasn't happened since my grandma's funeral 4 years ago. Maybe it's easier for them to like us, separated as we all are. I'm sure if asked they would say they love us all equally. In spite of all the unexpected changes, and maybe because of them, I like my parents too, separately, but equally.

KANAZAWA – More than 20,000 people were ordered to evacuate in parts of central and northeastern Japan on Friday as heavy rain sparked flooding.
The Meteorological Agency also warned of landslides and flooding in other areas as a front bringing heavy rain was expected to move south toward the country’s eastern and western regions through Saturday.
An evacuation order was issued for 7,965 people in the city of Nanao, in Ishikawa Prefecture, as the Kumaki River overflowed, while the town of Hodatsushimizu, which is also in the prefecture, ordered 13,337 residents to evacuate.
In Yamagata Prefecture, a landslide blocked a road in the village of Tozawa, temporarily trapping five people. Yamagata’s Mogamioguni River also flooded causing a suspension bridge to collapse.
The torrential rains also disrupted railway operations. Shinkansen services between Yamagata and Shinjo stations were suspended together with Thunderbird and Shirasagi limited express trains to and from Kanazawa Station in Ishikawa Prefecture, according to the respective railway operators.
On Friday morning 77 millimeters of rain was recorded in a single hour in the city of Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture, and 56 mm in the town of Kaneyama, in Yamagata Prefecture, the Meteorological Agency said.
With the storm front extending from the Sea of Japan to the Tohoku region, damp and warm air flowed over the country creating unstable atmospheric conditions, the Meteorological Agency said.
In the 24-hour period through Saturday morning, up to 180 mm of rain is expected in the northeastern and central regions, while western Japan is forecast to receive up to 120 mm.
