Bahrain is a small island nation located in the Persian Gulf with a rich culture and history. However, for some Bahrainis, the idea of moving to a new country may be appealing for various reasons such as better education, healthcare, work opportunities, and quality of life. New Zealand is a country that has gained popularity in recent years as an ideal destination for those looking for a new place to call home.
In this blog post, we will explore some of the top reasons and benefits that Bahrainis should consider when thinking of moving to New Zealand.
New Zealand is consistently ranked as one of the best countries in the world to live in. In fact, according to the 2021 Global Peace Index, New Zealand was ranked the second safest country in the world. The country's low crime rates, stable political environment, and high standard of living make it an ideal destination for those looking for a peaceful and secure environment to raise a family.
New Zealand has a strong and diversified economy that offers plenty of work opportunities. According to the World Bank, New Zealand has a GDP per capita of $44,427, which is significantly higher than Bahrain's GDP per capita of $23,301. In addition, the country has low unemployment rates, with an average rate of 4.0% in 2021, making it an attractive destination for those seeking better job opportunities.
New Zealand has a world-class education system that offers quality education at all levels. The country is home to eight universities that offer a wide range of courses and degrees. The education system is highly regarded for its practical approach to learning and hands-on experience, which allows students to gain valuable skills that are highly sought after by employers. According to QS World University Rankings 2022, seven of New Zealand's universities are ranked among the top 500 universities in the world.
New Zealand offers a comprehensive and publicly funded healthcare system that provides access to high-quality healthcare services to all residents. The healthcare system is ranked as one of the best in the world, and the country has a high life expectancy rate of 82 years. In addition, the country has a well-developed infrastructure and technology that allows for advanced medical procedures and treatments.
New Zealand is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, which include snow-capped mountains, pristine beaches, and rugged coastline. The country is home to 14 national parks, which offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and water sports. The country's natural beauty is one of the many reasons why it attracts millions of visitors each year.
New Zealand is known for its immigration-friendly policies, which make it easier for individuals to migrate to the country. The government offers a range of visa options, including work visas, study visas, and family visas. The Skilled Migrant Category is a popular visa option for skilled workers who are interested in moving to New Zealand.
In conclusion, New Zealand offers a range of benefits that make it an attractive destination for those looking to migrate from Bahrain. From its high quality of life to its strong economy and world-class education system, New Zealand has a lot to offer. The country's welcoming and inclusive culture, natural beauty, and immigration-friendly policies make it an ideal destination for those seeking a new home.

From cutting down on caffeine and swallowing less fuel to being more energy efficient, here are some cost-cutting estimates that can enable you to gather an amount over 10 years.
It’s never too latte to save
Cutting down on caffeine is good for your health and wallet.
Based on the cost of a cup of Espresso (tall) at Startbucks (Rs. 255).
Junk the junk
Ditch just one junk meal a week to make a noticeable difference to your financial health.
Based on the cost of a cup of a regular-sized Deluxe Veggie pizza (Rs. 247) and a bottle of Coke Mobile )Rs. 55) at Domino’s.
Weekday movie nights
Weekday movie outings are light on the pocket and provide a crowd-free experience.
A movie a month; prices are for ‘Antman and the Wasp’ at Inox Nariman Point, Mumbai, for the costliest price slab.
Eat in More
Cutting down on eating out at fine dining restaurants will enhance your long-term significantly.
Approximate cost of dining for two at a high-end restaurant at a five-star hotel in Mumbai.
Be energy efficient
Despite higher initial costs, switching to energy-efficient air conditioners has long-term benefits.
The AC is used for 10 hours a day for 8 months a year and tariff is Rs. 6 per unit. A 3-star rated 2-ton AC is replaced with a 5-star rated 1.5-ton AC. However, the upfront acquisition cost of a 5-star AC will be higher.
Reduce gadget greed
Switching mobiles or other gadgets frequently is a fad and resisting it has its rewards.
Based on the current cost of OnePlus 6-8 GB RAM and 128 GB memory (with exchange) on Amazon.in
Guzzle less fuel
Leaving the car at home once in a while and taking public transport makes money sense.
Mileage of 15km/litre and retail petrol price in Faridabad as of today (Rs. 70.22) considered.
The small tweaks add up to an impressive corpus

Alistair Buchanan, head of the energy watchdog Ofgem, told MPs that gas and electricity prices "should be coming off in the early part of 2009".
He added: "If the companies are stupid enough to abuse this situation they will be sent to the Competition Commission."
The regulator's warning came as the cost of living fell last month amid the most frenzied pre-Christmas high street price war on record.
Prices dipped by 0.1 percentage points in November, the second consecutive monthly fall, according to figures published today.
Power firm customers are angry that none of the big six - British Gas, EdF Energy, EON, npower, Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern Energy - have cut their tariffs despite collapsing wholesale energy prices.
Since the summer the wholesale gas price has plummeted by a third and electricity by about 40 per cent. The wholesale cost of gas is still 10 per cent above its level at the start of the year but retail prices are 50 per cent higher.
A spokesman for the Energy Retailers Association said: "We take Ofgem's statement today very seriously. All the companies will be considering the concerns Ofgem has raised."
However, today's statement also recognises that energy companies have already invested £300 million in response to the regulator's report."
Meanwhile, prices in general have not dropped for two months on the trot since October and November 2001 when the world economy was reeling from the impact of the 9/11 attacks. It is extremely rare for prices to fall month on month outside the traditional sale periods of January and July. The latest month-on-month drop pushed the annual rate of inflation down from 4.5 per cent to 4.1 per cent last month.
Most commentators now expect the Bank of England to order fresh interest rate cuts next month in a bid to boost the bombed-out economy.Reuse content

Many thanks to Inner Arbor Trust President Nina Basu for highlighting this memory for me yesterday.
What an honor it was to be included in the opening festivities of the Chrysalis two years ago. I’m still excited about it.
The third season opens this weekend. On Saturday you can enjoy HCPSS Jazz in the Woods. This free festival event runs from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm and showcases jazz bands from Howard County Middle and High Schools.
On Sunday it’s Mystic India the World Tour.
On April 28, 2019, the Chrysalis in Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods will transform into an explosion of color and culture! Created by Director Amit Shah and featuring the AATMA Performing Arts dance company, Mystic India: The World Tour is an internationally-acclaimed Bollywood dance spectacular based on the concept of ancient India’s transition into modern India. The colorful costumes and elaborate sets have been custom designed by Amit Shah and handmade in India’s film capital by a team of 40 designers and workers over the course of four years. The team of diverse, impeccably trained dancers from the AATMA Performing Arts dance company combines authentic Indian and modern techniques bringing the streets Mumbai and New York into perfect harmony.
I’m really looking forward to this! This is unlike anything I’ve every experienced and I love that it’s making its area debut in Columbia.
I hope I’ll bump into you this weekend at one of these events.
Meet me at the Chrysalis.

Björk returns to television to grace the small screen audience with her music for the first time in eight years.
She performed "Courtship" and "The Anchor Song" on Later With Jools Holland.
"Courtship" is featured in Björk's 2017 album Utopia. For her performance, the singer assembled a group of flutists while singing the lines to her song. She also kept the flutists during her performance of "The Anchor Song," which is featured on her 1993 album Debut.
Björk's Three-Track Remix LP
Other than her recent performances, Björk also announced the upcoming release of her three-track remix LP on May 15. The album will feature different versions of the song "Arisen My Senses."
The first remix will be by Lanark Artefax. The second remix, which is a more upbeat version of "Arisen My Senses," is by Jlin. The third remix is by Kelly Lee Owens, a record producer.
Björk's Back-To-Back Albums
In related news, Utopia serves as Björk's follow-up to her 2015 album Vulnicura. The songs featured in Utopia are "Blissing Me," "The Gate," "Utopia," "Body Memory," "Features Creatures," "Losss," "Sue Me," "Tabula Rasa," "Claimstaker," "Paradisia," "Saint," and "Future Forever."
The songs in Vulnicura, on the other hand, are "Stonemilker," "Lionsong," "History of Touches," "Black Lake," "Family," "Notget," "Atom Dance," "Mouth Mantra," and "Quicksand."
Last year, Björk opened up about the obvious difference between Utopia and Vulnicura. The former is deemed to be more optimistic, while the other is quite sad.
Björk said that the final gigs she did for Vulnicura were at the Carnegie Hall, and they were so tragic. The people who attended the show all experienced heartbreak.
"And they were all telling me their stories. It was really sweet and genuine, you know? And with the performances, I was like: 'This has to be discreet and treated with grace,'" said Björk.
When it came to Utopia, Björk wanted to show her fans that optimism in the time of President Donald Trump is a choice. She said that she had been working on the album for two years when Trump got elected.
"I felt like, 'OK, it's really important now to be intentional. If you feel this world is not heading the right way, you have to be DIY and make a little fortress, over here to the left," said Björk.
Björk is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and DJ. The 52-year-old first became known as the lead singer of Sugarcubes. In 1993, Björk embarked on her solo music career.
Her other albums include Post and Homogenic.

A soul baptized, in twilight’s blood
A pilgrim, to the netherworld
Whose mystique is, as clear as mud
And psalms of bliss, to sin, tethered!
Whose chalice is, a manic moon
Which spills over, a spent Mozart
The realm below, can’t help, but swoon
To the lullaby, of a widow’s heart!
A million wolves, wail in unison
Oe’r scarred soul, of the sighing moor
The dreams sown, by this liaison
Is the misery, hungering hearts endure!
How sublime, is this shadows’ reign
Ennui, lit up, like a Christmas tree
Behold stark and dark, her legerdemain
Of human stain, Each Night’s A Poesy!

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A state utility consumer agency says Aqua Indiana needs to reduce its planned rate increase.
Aqua Indiana wants to raise its utility rates in the Fort Wayne area by almost 30 percent. However, the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor believes that’s too much, according to the Journal-Gazette.
It has reviewed the utility company’s request and have determined that they should limit their increase to about half that: 15.6 percent.
Aqua Indiana served over 13,000 customers in Allen, Huntington, and Whitley Counties. The increase for those customers would come in two phases.
Aqua Indiana has until July 19 to file a rebuttal. A hearing in front of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission is scheduled to start Aug. 9.

William Robert Wright - Biography
William Robert Wright (May 20, 1935 – January 13, 2012), known as Bob Wright, was an American attorney, Utah Republican politician, and co-author of the award-winning biography, David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism.BiographyWright was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Ralph Bassett Wright and Afton Middlemiss Wright. He graduated valedictorian at East High School in 1953, and then served in the Swiss Austrian Mission of the LDS Church from 1955-58. Returning home to the University of Utah, he was elected student body vice president and received his B.S. in Geology in 1960, and his J.D. in 1963. Wright married Janet Clark in the Salt Lake Temple in 1965. They lived in Salt Lake City and had one daughter and seven sons.Wright worked at the firm Jones, Waldo, Holbrook & McDonough in Salt Lake City for 29 years, as a new graduate, a manager, and an executive. Later in life he would become a partner of Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn in Washington, D.C., and still later he was a partner at Holme Roberts & Owen in Salt Lake City.From 1977 to 1979, Wright was Chairman of the Utah Republican Party. He ran unsuccessfully as the GOP's candidate for Utah governor in the 1980 gubernatorial election against Scott M. Matheson. He was later a finalist for President Ronald Reagan's judicial nomination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.Wright's aunt was Clare Middlemiss, the longtime personal secretary of LDS Church president David O. McKay, who collected records of McKay's church service for over 35 years. Wright had promised his aunt that he would preserve her records of McKay and have them published. He would donate these McKay diaries, discourses and some other records to the David Oman McKay Papers, a massive collection held by the Manuscript Division of Special Collections in the University of Utah's Marriott Library.From 1989 to 1992 Wright served the LDS Church as president of the Washington D.C. North Mission. During his time in Washington he met Greg Prince, beginning a ten-year collaboration on a biography of David O. McKay.

A different legal standard when the mother is a soldier
The Supreme Court will soon consider whether to correct a serious example of gender discrimination in the military — a problem the court itself helped to create 65 years ago.
Air Force Capt. Heather Ortiz discovered the differential treatment after she went to a military hospital in Colorado in 2009, ready to give birth to her child. Just before delivery, a series of errors by hospital staff sharply dropped her blood pressure, depriving the fetus of oxygen for an extended period. Her newborn daughter suffered severe brain damage, and she needs round-the-clock care.
Ordinarily, federal law would allow a military family to sue for compensation for malpractice at a military hospital — with one big exception. Under Feres v. United States, a 1950 decision by the Supreme Court, military members themselves cannot sue the government for injuries they suffer on the job.
How does that precedent affect this tragic case? The U.S. government argued, and a federal appeals court agreed, that under the Feres doctrine, the Ortiz family’s lawsuit to recover damages for malpractice was out of bounds because the baby’s condition originated with injuries to her mother, an active duty member of the military.
This is where the gender discrimination plays a role: In this case or others, if the infant’s military parent had been the father rather than the mother, the lawsuit would have been allowed to proceed. That is because in such a case, the brain damage to the baby would not have resulted from injuries to a service member — for the obvious reason that men don’t give birth.
“If this had happened to the child of an active duty military father, both parents and the child could have been compensated,” says Ortiz’s lawyer, Laurie Higginbotham, who has handled several birth-related injury lawsuits against the military. Along with Robert Peck of the Center for Constitutional Litigation, she brought Ortiz’s case to the Supreme Court in October.
This is not a case in which gender discrimination can be traced back to the Feres ruling or the justices who supported it. Though more than 200,000 women are now on active duty, at the time of the ruling in 1950, women in military service were scarce, and those who became pregnant could be automatically discharged. The Feres doctrine has been defended as a way to preserve morale by preventing lawsuits by soldiers against superiors for battlefield or training injuries.
But Ortiz’s child is not an active duty military member. She is someone who in other circumstances would likely be compensated, along with her parents, for her injuries. Her inability to do so is the direct result of the gender of her active duty parent.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, when she was a pioneering advocate for women’s rights in the 1970s, often challenged laws or regulations like this one that treated men and women differently in the military and everyday life.
She won most of those cases, but once in a while discriminatory rules still surface. The Ortiz case poignantly highlights just such a regulation.

Simply stated, American Beauty was an.American Beauty Dir: Sam Mendes, USA, 1999 A review by Peggy McCormack, Loyola University, US The commercial and critical success of Mendes's debut, American Beauty, has been striking; since it was released, it has earned a prodigious return on its producers' investments and was immediately hailed as a classic of American cinema. (1).
This rose is called American Beauty which is also the name of the film. She is dressed in a plain grey suit and a clean white apron, again fitting in with the colour scheme of the interior decor. She also wears pearl earrings and a pearl necklace with her hair perfectly framing this and has impeccable make up, indicating what the perfect American housewife should resemble.
American Beauty has won countless numbers of awards including the Academy award for best picture, best actor, best director, and many more. The movie focuses on the 42-year-old sexually frustrated father who has a mid-life crisis after meeting his daughter’s best friend., Lester Burnham is in an unhappy, broken marriage with Carolyn, a neurotic yet ambitious real estate broker.
The movie American Beauty shows what can happen when one achieves the American dream and it is not what many would expect. The director Sam Mendes shows us what we sacrifice in our lives when we achieve the American dream because life tends to go stale within the confines of a picket-fence, consumerist, and career-driven version of the American dream (journal).
And American Beauty is just one of those movie that when I think about, I think about being in middle school, and early high school, and watching movies with a new level of appreciation and wonder. So back then, I thought American Beauty was just fucking amazing.
In this paper I am having a closer look at the movie American Beauty (1999) and how it challenges the ideology of the American dream.
American Beauty is a movie of symbols and hidden messages. Although the story is complex, the basic theme is obvious. The ending leaves the viewers with a feeling of relief and enlightenment, and a sense of appreciation for their own lives.

Masculinity in American Beauty JELLE KREKELS American Beauty (1999) is a film directed by Sam Mendes that shows the life of an American family that tried to look perfect for the outside world for the past twenty years, but goes through a major change during the film. There are three male roles that all seem to go through.
When American Beauty was released abroad, many critics were surprised that Americans responded so positively to a film that seemed so critical of traditional American values. Americans, it seems, were ready to question these values much as Lester does in the film, and move towards a more satisfying, emotionally fulfilling existence.
American Beauty is a complex film that relies so heavily on mis-en-scene and cinematography to portray its message that the story could have been told with no dialogue at all. The film focuses on Lester Burnhan. Lester appears to have the American dream, however he still feels empty. His marriage is falling apart, he has a poor relationship with his daughter, and he is on the verge of a major.
American Beauty Summary. American Beauty starts out on an odd foot: it begins with a home movie clip of a girl complaining about her pervy father and then asking her boyfriend (the guy filming the video) if he'd kill Pops for her. Okay, then. We then transition into the actual plot, which focuses on the last year in the life of a man named Lester Burnham.

“Tough Traveling” is a weekly Thursday feature created by Nathan at Review Barn where participants make a new list each week based on The Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones. This hilarious little book cheerfully pokes fun at the most prevalent tropes in fantasy. All are welcome to take part, and there is a link up over at his site. Join in any time!
This week’s trope is WITCHES:
Witches are special and probably at least the equal of WIZARDS.
You guys…if you don’t know how I feel about witches by now, then you’ve not been paying close enough attention. A little hocus pocus, a little chemistry, and a whole lotta woman power. Hell yes!
|The Weird Sisters/The Three Witches – Macbeth by William Shakespeare
It’s my boy Will!! Say what you will about Shakespeare, but damn could the man breathe originality into a trope. This trio of witches are dark prophets who envision the downfall of Macbeth. With their intentionally ambiguous speeches, creepy appearances, and filthy activities, these ladies are classic evil witches. The famous phrase “Double, double toil and trouble” comes from the Weird Sisters and indicated their desire to cause chaos and strife for everyone around them.
|Morwen – The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede
Friend to dragons and spunky princesses turned librarian chefs, Morwen resides in a magical cottage in the Enchanted Forest. If you’ve got a question about magic, she’s got an answer for you – as long as you’ll stay for a cup of tea first. Morwen may be endearingly kooky but she’s also powerful; if she doesn’t smite you with her magic, she’ll sick one of her billion cats on you!
|Emma Lovegrove – A Breath of Frost by Alyxandra Harvey
Emma Lovegrove is a trope within a trope (I still love her): a witch who doesn’t know it, because apparently those in charge are dirty secret keepers who can’t figure out that withholding the truth never ends well.Not only is Emma a witch, she’s a Lovegrove witch, a bloodline known for its strength. Oh, and there’s also the little issue of insanity. One of the best things about this version of witchcraft is that it’s gender inclusive: dudes who wield magic are called witches too!
|Paige Winterbourne – The Women of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong First introduced early in the series, Paige doesn’t narrate an Otherworld book until Dime Store Magic. Paige wants to bring her coven into the modern age, but she’s struggling to shake up old traditions, and not just with the coven. She’s also been trying to discover a way for witches to perform wizard spells, which have typically been outside their abilities. But if you think changing the direction of an ancient establishment is hard, try being the single guardian of an orphaned 13 year-old witch. Paige has her work cut out for her with Savannah – especially when it turns out the moody teenager might actually be a magical prodigy. Yikes!

The magnets would be attracted to iron oxide nanoparticles attached to the genes, a concept that has been tested in sheep.
But many safety tests would be needed before this technology could be used in humans, says Professor Heinrich Hofmann of the
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
Hofmann reported his findings at the International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Brisbane last week.
Gene therapy has been beset with problems including the lack of a safe and effective vector to transport therapeutic genes into cells.
Hofmann says his iron oxide nanoparticles are safer than commonly used viral vectors, which can mutate and influence the DNA of cells.
"The iron oxide particle is less dangerous than a virus," he says.
He also says the nanoparticles can be controlled more precisely than a virus because they can be moved into place with a magnet.
In a recent experiment, Hofmann injected iron nanoparticles attached to a green fluorescent protein gene into the joint of sheep and used a magnet to move the gene into place.
The sheep cells produced green fluorescent protein that glowed green under light, proving the success of the experiment, Hoffman says.
The research has been published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
Activating stem cells
In another application, Hofmann is using magnets and iron oxide nanoparticles to activate the growth of bone stem cells.
In vitro experiments have shown that iron oxide nanoparticles injected into stem cells can be vibrated with magnets to boost cell growth.

Iron oxide nanoparticles are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in magnetic resonance imaging, says Hoffman.
But these particles have different coatings not designed to penetrate cells, and are cleared via the blood into the liver.
The iron oxide nanoparticles Hofmann uses have a coating of polymers and specific chemical groups designed to help them penetrate cells.
Because of this, and because the safety of nanoparticles in general is still being investigated, Hofmann says his laboratory is careful to contain the nanoparticles to prevent them from escaping.
He says after doing their job, the nanoparticles would be cleared through the lymphatic system into the kidney where they would gradually be cleared from the body.
But, he says, there is a risk the nanoparticles could create local inflammation or toxic shock.
Another danger is they could clump together and clog up the kidney, says Hoffman, and many more safety tests are required.
Hofmann's research is publicly funded.

Mixed-cation CsxRb1– xPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) are developed and show high quantum yields of 93% and 86% for green and blue wavelengths, respectively. The stability is significantly improved under heat, UV, and water aging conditions. These improved properties are explained by the increased defect formation resistance and exciton binding energy with Rb incorporation. Perovskite films are fabricated using CsxRb1– xPbX3 PeQDs and cyclic olefin copolymer. The films have a wide color gamut covering up to 104.15% of the BT.2020-defined color space, with the white light color coordinates of (0.33, 0.32), luminance of 68.86 Cd m−2, and correlated color temperature of 5299 K at 20 mA.

Only 232 and 164 cases of overcharging and misbehavior respectively registered with the Delhi traffic police in 2012
Jasleen Kaur | January 9, 2013
If you are a Delhiite and do not own a car, you must be among thousands who struggle to board an auto – either to avoid the rush in buses or to commute between the bus stand/metro station to home or office.
So when auto drivers misbehave; refuse to take you to your destination or charge much more than the meter reading, what do you do? Do you complain? Well most of us do not, says Satyendra Garg, joint CP traffic Delhi.
Garg agrees that almost everyone in the national capital faces this problem. But, he adds, the bigger problem is there are not enough complaints.
“We keep advertising about the helpline number and SMS services but people have the tendency to look for it only when they need it. As a daily traveler one should keep the number with himself,” he said.
Following a news report, where the reporter wrote about the harassment she faced by an auto driver, Garg says complaining to the right authority is equally important.
“It was severe offence, so calling the PCR was a right thing to do as they are best to be approached for immediate response. But they receive thousands of calls and there are 630 vehicles on Delhi roads. So one should complain to the traffic department for all the other reasons,” he says.
In 2012, Delhi traffic police received 3,049 complaints of refusal by the drivers and just 232 and 164 cases of overcharging and misbehavior respectively.
Garg says immediate action is taken against all the complaints registered. Apart from this, he adds, even the transport department of the Delhi government has the authority to prosecute a complaint. The department has started a drive against auto drivers who turn down passengers.
In case anyone comes across a problem with the auto drivers, Garg says, the offence, time and place and the vehicle number should be SMS to 56767 or call at 258844444 to register the complaint. As soon as the SMS is received, the system, monitored by the public interaction, sends a challan to the owner of the vehicle. The traffic police also receives complains through its Facebook page.
“People have to assess their rights, if they will not complain we will not be able to take action. There is a machinery in place, but people will have to develop the habit of complaining,” he added.
Far away in the other world, she must be weeping seeing the flames of fire she lit for justice slowly fading. On December 16, 2012, the 23-year-old Delhi woman, better known as Nirbhaya now, was brutally raped. She eventually succumbed to her injuries, but not before triggering a storm acorss the count

Editorial: The warning sign for state DOT in Skagit bridge collapse
A federal investigatory panel assigns some blame to the state in last year’s bridge collapse on Interstate 5.
Seattle Times Editorial
WHEN the Skagit River bridge tumbled down last year and snarled traffic on Interstate 5, advocates for a state transportation package said it made a compelling case for a gas-tax increase. Now a report by federal investigators seems to bolster an argument made by critics: The state Department of Transportation (DOT) needs to be smarter.
The immediate cause of the accident has never been in dispute. A truck with an overheight load smacked into low-hanging trusses on the outside lane of the bridge, smashing girders like matchsticks: the truck’s fault. Yet the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) finds that state highway officials demonstrated a chilling obliviousness to danger.
There were no low-clearance signs on the bridge. Truckers with too-high loads were supposed to “move over” to the inside lane, which had plenty of clearance, and they were supposed to know this by checking a state website. The trucking company obtained an oversized-load permit online, which requires it to check clearances. But the report says it failed to consider low clearances on the bridge. So the driver never knew.
The legal responsibility seems clear enough for the state to file $17.1 million in claims against the trucking firm and other parties. That is little comfort to the motorists who landed in the drink, the thousands who endured traffic jams during reconstruction, and the family of the state patrolman who was killed while directing traffic.
Nobody at DOT reviewed the permit. The height of the planned load and the route should have triggered alarm bells. The problem was clear: Annual inspections revealed oversized loads struck the bridge in nine of the previous 10 years. One time, the impact ripped a gouge three inches deep.
The bridge collapse is no case of failing infrastructure. Nor is it cause to replace structurally sound but “functionally obsolete” bridges — absurd considering how many there are. The NTSB, quite reasonably, sees this as a national problem and argues for better permitting procedures and consistent warning signs, especially on bridges like this one.
The state DOT is reviewing its practices. Washington might start by passing a bill sponsored last session by state Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, requiring additional bridge-clearance signage and requiring the DOT to review oversized-load permits.
At a time when passage of a transportation package is critical to relieve congestion and remedy a huge maintenance backlog on the state’s highways, and the DOT’s management has been called into question by a stuck tunneling machine, the last thing the agency needs is another black eye.
Editorial board members are editorial page editor Kate Riley, Frank A. Blethen, Ryan Blethen, Sharon Pian Chan, Lance Dickie, Jonathan Martin, Erik Smith, Thanh Tan, William K. Blethen (emeritus) and Robert C. Blethen (emeritus).

I Inge Morath: An Illustrated Biography we get a glimpse into the versatile artistry and extraordinary life of US-Austrian photographer Inge Morath (1923 – 2002), born Ingeborg Hermine Morath in Graz, Austria, where she uses the camera as the entrance ticket to the conventional world of the time, which was closed to women .
The book is divided into eight sections that chronologically describe the highlights of her life: "Forged By War", "Magnum, Paris", "Choosing Photography", "Learning From the Master", "World Photographer", "America And Arthur Miller "," Heading East "and" Crossing Borders ". Each section contains text with illustrative photographs, both Morath's own photographs and photographs of her taken by unknown photographers.
Characterized by an upbringing in Nazi Germany during World War II, she comes out into the world and eventually fulfills her dreams. She first became part of the avant-garde environment in Vienna, then traveled to Paris as a journalist with photographer Ernst Haas in 1949. In 1955, she became one of the first female members of the "boys club" Magnum Photos and began a career as a photographer in good team with Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson, who was also her lover.
As one of the few female photographers of her time, she has to work twice as hard as her male colleagues to be taken seriously. She even says: "Being one of the few female photographers in the industry was difficult simply because no one thought I was serious: What makes a sweet girl like you in this industry? There were many patronizing men. At least I don't think I got the same support as the male 'fraternity' got. "
Morath often traveled alone around the world, which was unusual for women at that time. Her photographs show a traveled and independent woman with a unique sense of the universal and the personal. It is especially her photographs from the refugee camps in the Middle East that make a strong impression on me.
The photograph «Gaza» (1960) of children playing in Gaza gives me shivers when I think of all the children who have been killed there in my lifetime. It is touching to see how she creates the poetry of different human destinies and places, especially with regard to her own war traumas.
On the movie set to The Misfits with Marilyn Monroe in the lead role and Arthur Miller in the director's chair, Morath meets the man of his life. Morath was initially commissioned to document the film production, but at the same time develops feelings for Miller, who at that time is in a relationship with Marilyn Monroe. Morath initiates a 40-year long love affair with him.
"Being one of the few female photographers in the industry was difficult simply because no one thought I was serious: What makes a sweet girl like you in this industry?" Inge Morath
Although Morath and Monroe are rivals, Morath portrays her as a sympathetic and lyrical beauty in her photographs. In the photograph «Marilyn Monroe on the set of The Misfits, Reno, Nevada »(1960) we see a dancing and barefoot Monroe in the moonlight. There is mutual sympathy and warmth between the two women. After Monroe's death, Morath's relationship with Miller develops rapidly, and in 1962 they marry. That same year, they get daughter Rebecca Miller.
After her daughter is born, Morath fully defines her own autonomous and creative identity. She continues to travel, and in 1965 she goes to the Soviet Union with Miller. Two years later they have son Daniel, born with Down syndrome. They place him in the institution him right after birth, mostly due to pressure from Miller. He does not want to see his son, while Morath often visits him at the orphanage.
Eventually, she travels to China, Japan, Israel, Egypt and South Africa. She feels at home everywhere and takes iconic photographs that several generations after her enjoy. During her travels she also has a typewriter and writes openly about her experiences in the form of diaries and letters. Unfortunately, none of these texts are published.
The last journey
In 1982 she portrayed female artists, including Helen Frankenthaler and Louise Bourgeois. Miller and Morath continue the collaboration, where Miller often writes texts for her photographs, and Morath photographs the actors on his film sets. Over the years, she also holds several exhibitions around the world.
In 1999, she was awarded the Vienna Gold Medal of Honor. In the last two years of her life, she travels to Cuba, where she photographs Fidel Castro, and in 2002, just before she died of lymphoma at the age of 78, she photographed the border crossing between Styria southeast of Austria and Slovenia, resulting in the book Grenz.

The Paralympics have without doubt raised the public awareness of disability issues in the UK. Hopefully that is true also in other parts of the world. This article concerns disability benefits. Although this blog was primarily designed for the UK it is now accessed globally. I was sent this article this week and I think it deserves an airing as it provides a cross-cultural perspective to the whole area of disability benefits. Moreover some of the parents I have worked with have returned to the USA in the past year and it may be useful for them. So I commend this article and thank the author for taking his time in writing it.
Social Security Disability (SSD) is a U.S government program administered by the Social Security Administration and designed to provide financial relief to those who are unable to work due to a disability. You can apply for either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. SSDI is intended for individuals who are unable to work for at least a year due to their disability and have paid Social Security Taxes (FICA taxes) for 5 out of the last 10 years. SSI, on other hand, is intended for those who do not have the necessary work history.
When most people think about Social Security Disability applications, they imagine applications filed by disabled workers who are no longer able to perform the duties required by their work due to the severity of their disabling condition. The truth is that many of the disability applications that the SSA receives are filed on the behalf of children who are suffering from severely debilitating conditions. The following information will help you understand the disability claim process for a child and how a child can receive Social Security Disability benefits.
Children who are under 18 years of age may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Those who are between the ages of 18 and 22 may qualify for SSDI benefits if their parents have earned enough work credits to qualify for these benefits.
In order to qualify for SSDI or SSI benefits, a child must have a physical or mental condition that has a serious impact on his or her activities and the condition must be expected to last at least one year or result in death.
How to Apply
In order to apply for Social Security Disability benefits for a child, you need to go to the SSA’s website and fill out the Child Disability Report. This is the first step in the application process. If you do not have access to the Internet, you can visit your local Social Security office to obtain the form.
When you file the initial application, be sure that you provide as much medical documentation as possible to support your claim. If you do not provide the information during the initial application process, the examiner in charge of the claim will likely request copies of medical records when the file is assigned to him or her.
The examiner who reviews your child’s claim will determine whether or not your child’s disability prevents him or her from participating in age-appropriate activities. In order to do this, school records will also play a part in determining the eligibility of your child and you will need to provide these records or sign a release allowing the SSA to obtain the records in order to process your child’s claim.
Filing an Appeal
If your child’s initial application is denied by the Social Security Application, you have a right to appeal the decision. This will likely mean a hearing before an administrative law judge. This is where you will plead your case to the judge, who has the power to overturn the SSA’s decision and grant your child the benefits he or she needs. It is highly recommended that you retain the services of a disability attorney when attending a disability hearing as an attorney is familiar with the disability laws and how specific laws can help your child’s Social Security Disability case.
If the hearing results in further denial, there is still hope. You can submit an appeal to the SSA Appeals Council and, if that does not work, further your appeal to the district court. Again, it is crucial that you work with a disability attorney if you are denied benefits during the initial stage of the application process as you will need the help of an attorney to navigate the steps of a disability appeal and increase your chances of a successful appeal outcome.
If you are worried about the cost of a disability attorney, you will be happy to know that these professionals work on a contingency basis. You will not have to come up with any money up front. The attorney only collects a fee if you win your disability case. If the attorney’s services result in the award of disability benefits to your child, that attorney will receive 25 percent of the back pay that is awarded to your child by the SSA.

Novel scalable approaches for the computational analysis of bacterial genomes
Over the last decades, the giant progress of DNA sequencing led to increased throughput and tremendously reduced costs resulting in a broad accessibility and applicability of these technologies and thus revolutionized the entire field of microbial genomics. Today, these developments allow the sequencing of large groups and entire cohorts of ... bacterial genomes in a timely manner, whereas a mere decade ago, this was only feasible for a few single genomes. Now, hundreds of thousands of sequenced bacterial genomes are available in public databases and vast numbers of genomes are sequenced worldwide on a daily basis without any foreseeable climax. Many fields of research benefit from these developments, in particular medical microbiology and epidemiology. Hence, genome-based analyses have nowadays become essential tools for the detection, classification, typing and comparison of special-interest genes and pathogenic genomes at various levels. At the same time, IT is revolutionized alike by new developments like cloud computing and software containerization techniques. Modern software engineering paradigms and frameworks have recently emerged and provide new opportunities for scalable computations on distributed and heterogeneous infrastructures that in turn imply new technical premises. Albeit the mere sequencing of bacterial genomes as well as computing capacity in general are not the major limiting factors anymore, the comprehensive, timely and standardized analysis of large bacterial whole-genome sequencing data however remains an issue of rising importance. Therefore, it was the aim of this thesis to address these challenges and provide novel bioinformatic approaches and software tools for the scalable high-throughput analysis of whole-genome sequencing data of large bacterial cohorts. An automated and comprehensive workflow was designed and implemented in a portable, scalable and user-friendly software tool ASA³P. It supports data from all contemporary DNA sequencing platforms conducting the streamlined processing and analysis from raw reads to assembled, annotated and comprehensively characterized genomes including comparative analyses. The software provides both vertical and horizontal scalability allowing researchers to take advantage of distributed and versatile computing infrastructures. Results are presented as integrated, human-readable and interactive reports. Two further contributions address issues that have arisen from the design of this workflow. For the integrated analysis of plasmids, a novel methodology has been developed for the automated and taxonomy-independent detection and characterization of plasmid-borne contigs from fragmented bacterial draft assemblies. As a new approach to this problem, the natural distribution bias of protein-coding gene families among chromosomes and plasmids is utilized, which achieves a robust and competitive classification performance. This new methodology was implemented in the software tool Platon, which also provides additional plasmid characterizations. A third contribution addresses the robust and accurate but rapid computation of mutual genome distances that is required for the automated selection of high-quality reference genomes and whole-genome-based taxonomic classifications. As the large amount of available genome sequences poses increasing hurdles to these steps in terms of data accessibility, performance and runtimes, a new software tool called ReferenceSeeker combining existing methodologies was developed and complemented by the provisioning of integrated and customizable databases. Noteworthy, its application is not limited to microbial genomes alone, but DNA sequences in general, including plasmids. These three bioinformatics solutions have been used in various published and unpublished studies and proven as useful software tools for researchers in the field of medical microbiology. In particular, ASA³P enables researchers to take advantage of modern and scalable IT resources and provides access to a diverse set of proven bioinformatics software tools. Hence, even more bacterial genomes and larger cohorts thereof can be processed, characterized and compared among each other, allowing researchers to keep pace with DNA sequencing technologies and future demands. Due to its extensible framework, the application of ASA³P is however not restricted to medical microbiology applications, but can be expanded and adapted to applications within the much larger field of microbial genomics. Furthermore, several ideas for further improvements and potential new software solutions emerged from this work that opened new research questions and established interesting subjects for future investigations.

Jeanne Moreau (1928-2017)
Jeanne Moreau, a politically engaged French actress and singer who featured in over 130 films, would have celebrated her 90th birthday in January 2018.
Born in Paris in 1928, she attended the Conservatoire de Paris, took part in the first Avignon Festival and became a resident actress at the Comédie Française, before quitting in 1952. She won her first film roles in the early 1950s and worked with leading directors from Luis Buñuel to Wim Wenders, including François Truffaut, Orson Welles and Roger Vadim.
Her background enabled her to take on strong characters that sometimes challenged the morals of the time, which suited her off-screen life as a liberated woman.
With a career spanning over 60 years, she played opposite the very greatest actors of her era.

The larvae of the onion fly can be especially dangerous for your vegetable patch. We show you how to protect your plants from the fly and how to fight it.
Onion fly: How to recognize them
- The onion fly belongs to the family of flower flies and is anything but a welcome guest for hobby gardeners. Especially the tiny larvae of the fly prefer to attack various bulbous plants. If you want to prevent your garden from falling victim to the onion fly, you should know what the pests look like and how they live:
Adult onion fly
- The adult onion fly outwardly resembles a house fly and grows up to seven millimeters long. Their light gray body is covered with dark hairs. The shield between their wing attachments is yellow.
- Once the female fly has strengthened herself sufficiently, she lays her eggs in the soil near young bulbous plants in May.
- Up to three generations may be at work in your vegetable patch each year.
Onion fly larvae
- About 14 days after laying their eggs, onion fly larvae hatch from the eggs and begin feeding on the surrounding plants. One larva may even infest several plants.
- The larvae grow to about one centimeter long, are headless and legless, and have a whitish body.
- They overwinter in reddish-brown pupae that are no more than six millimeters long and lie hidden in the soil.
This is how you recognize an infestation by the onion fly and its larvae:
Wilting young plants: Infested onion and leek plants take on a yellowish-gray color shortly after germination and begin to wilt. You can also pull the diseased plants out of the ground very easily.
Feeding tunnels: On larger plants you can often already see the feeding tunnels of the larvae. These usually emit a foul odor. In addition, the small white maggots are often still in the tunnels.
Besides onions and leeks, the onion fly also endangers planted chives and garlic. In rare cases, the larvae of the pest even infest tulips.
Prevent infestation by the onion fly
Once your plants are infested by the larvae of the onion fly, major crop failures are usually not long in coming. Therefore, you should take preventive measures as early as possible to protect your garden from the pests:
- Crop protection nets: The easiest way to keep the onion fly away from your plants is with a cotton vegetable protection net. Cover all your onion plants completely and without gaps with the close-meshed nets. Be sure to loosen the netting periodically so that it does not interfere with the growing plants. It is best to cover your plants with the nets from the beginning of April until harvest to protect them optimally from the egg-laying of the onion fly.
- Encourage predators: The natural enemies of the onion fly are spiders, runners and ichneumon wasps. You can even buy these at garden supply stores or online – for example, at Avocadostore**. Then, to keep them in your garden and attract other beneficial insects, keep your beds and lawns as natural and diverse as possible. You can also build an insect hotel to provide shelter for the helpers.
- Remove rotten bulbs: If you discover rotten bulbs in your bed, you should always dispose of them as quickly as possible. This way you provide the pest with as few food sources as possible.
- No strong-smelling fertilizers: Even if fresh manure is a good source of nutrients for your plants, it is better to avoid such strong-smelling fertilizers. Their odor often attracts the onion fly. Instead, provide your onion plants with homemade plant teas made from wormwood or tansy.
- Mixed crops, crop rotation and crop rotation: Make sure that you keep the crop rotation in your garden bed and never sow your onion plants in the same place two years in a row. You can also deter the pest by growing onions in mixed crops with other vegetables. For example, you can sow carrots or plant parsley. Planted bush beans and cabbage varieties are also suitable for this purpose.
Gently control onion fly
The later you discover the infestation by the onion fly, the more difficult it often becomes to get rid of the pest. Various insecticides are available on the market to quickly kill the fly. However, these products can also harm beneficial insects. So before you reach for the chemical club, you should first resort to biological sprays and gentle measures to combat the onion fly:
- Remove infested plants: If your vegetable patch is infested with the onion fly, the first thing you should do is locate any plants that have already wilted and pull them out of the ground. For them, unfortunately, any help comes too late. To prevent the larvae from spreading to the healthy remaining stock, you should dispose of them as soon as possible. However, do not put them in the compost under any circumstances. Otherwise the pest will spread from there. Instead, it is best to dispose of infested plants in the household waste.
- Biological sprays: Especially in the early stages, you can control the onion fly with purchased or home-made organic preparations. You can make your own nettle liquid manure. Put it on for a maximum of two to three days to get a more odorless broth for your onion plants, which will not affect the taste of the later harvest.

During the week after Father’s Day, I received a number of interesting emails from readers asking me to write about the dearth of looting after the recent floods in Iowa. Specifically, they wanted me to write about the reason there was so much more looting in New Orleans after Katrina hit the “Chocolate City” in 2005. Of course, the problem involves so much more than race – a factor most people are thinking about, even if they won’t admit it.
That people would oversimplify many post-Katrina problems as “race problems” is unfortunate but somewhat understandable. I recall watching a Fox News reporter standing on a bridge in a flooded area of New Orleans just after Katrina. When the first black individual came wading out of the projects the reporter was simply astounded. Like me, the reporter had no idea that folks had been sitting in the projects waiting for someone to come and escort them out of harm’s way.
It was also sad to see that it was one black face after another emerging from the flooded waters. And it was sadder still that the words “we need” were the first spoken into the camera by these citizens – all utterly unprepared to provide for themselves and their families.
But of course the ugliest scenes were yet to come as looters would turn downtown New Orleans into a place more like downtown Baghdad. Some of the looters who would participate in the destruction of their own neighborhoods would later suggest that they were entitled to loot because of years and years of “oppression.”
Of course, talk of historical oppression goes a long way towards explaining why blacks would be more inclined to loot than whites. But it doesn’t go far towards explaining the fact that looters are predominantly male rather than female. At some point, variables other than race have to be written into the equation.
There is another observation that is just as obvious as the fact that black males are more likely than black females to take advantage of the opportunity to loot as a means of eradicating historical oppression. I am referring, of course, to the fact that black females are more likely than black males to take advantage of affirmative action as a means of eradicating historical oppression. In fact, overall differences between blacks and whites - in important areas including income and education – are largely due to the failures of black males relative to everyone else in society, including black females.
Sociologists have, at least to date, failed to grasp what lies behind this problem. This is largely because of their foolish contention that there are no inherent differences between men and women. They continue to believe, or pretend to believe, that gender differences are merely “socially constructed.” I believe otherwise.
A man has as an inherent component of his being a need to be useful in some form of occupation. He also needs to provide for his children if he has any. The man who is able-bodied and does not work does not need to be taught to feel worthless. He feels that way without instruction. That is why a man is less likely to be driven to unemployment by drink than to drink by unemployment. That feeling of worthlessness similarly accompanies the man who does not care for his children. And it need not be taught to him by others. He imagines what people should be saying to him long before the first aspersions are cast.
For some forty years now the government has been providing incentives for (predominantly minority) men not to work and for women not to keep them around to care for their children. This idea that they are not needed as workers or as fathers cuts against their nature as men. It is a very dangerous pair of ideas with a very dangerous pair of consequences – only one of which has been addressed in this short essay.
The violence that is committed in an act of looting is not born of some idea that a man is entitled to the things kept from him by historical oppression. The violence against another man’s place of work is born of his own sense of worthlessness for having not fulfilled his responsibilities as an able-bodied man. This non-sense about oppression is merely an afterthought – a form of rationalization in the Freudian sense. If used often enough it becomes more than an individual malady. It becomes a cultural malady as well.
But the personal violence exhibited by minority men against other minority men is not so easily explained by economic oppression. Enlightened minds can easily grasp the effect of illegitimacy - and I speak here of illegitimate fathers because there are no illegitimate children – on minorities raised in single parent homes. But I believe the separation of fathers from their children explains, not just the transmission, but the genesis of violence in minority communities.
Sociologists write volumes on the scores of black men executed annually in the criminal justice system. But they are silent regarding the thousands of minorities killed at the hands of other minorities annually. Such a thing would not be possible unless black males had come to hold other black males in such low regard. And that is something that, in turn, would not be possible unless they also held themselves in very low regard.
So I am not at all impressed that, on Father’s Day, Barack Obama chose to chastise black men for failing to take care of their children. It takes little courage to state the obvious fact that their absence will make things tougher on the current generation of children raised in single parent homes.
I would be far more impressed were there any indication that Barack Obama understood the impact the War on Poverty has had on the current generation of fathers who have been displaced by government programs. Of course, if he did understand that he might be tempted to admit that he, too, is contributing to a very complex problem. And there is every indication that, if elected president, he will continue to contribute to the problem and force the rest of us to contribute our “fair share” too.
Jeremiah Wright recently found himself embroiled in controversy for suggesting that the government invented the AIDS virus to kill black people. It would have been closer to the truth to say that was the reason they have injected the virus of government aid into minority communities.
