I’ve been reading a mythology based fiction novel to the child again. She simply can’t get enough Greek mythology. She’s discovered that our library has the entire Percy Jackson collection on cd and even though I have read them to her, and she has read some of them herself, she’s decided to start at the beginning and hear them again.
The book I am reading to her places the Greek gods and goddesses in a special high school where they are supposed to learn about their gifts and to be “better” deities. It’s a series and this particular volume deals with Aphrodite trying to atone for her faux pas with Paris and Helen, which launched the Trojan War, by helping a young sculptor named Pygmalion find true love.
Of course, the story of Pygmalion and Galtea has nothing to do with the Trojan War (or the Egyptian Goddess, Isis), and I have to give the author an “A” for her knowledge of myths in general and the clever idea of plucking them all in a high school setting. The gods of Ancient Greece were nothing if not teen-like in their demeanor and outlook.
Aphrodite is a fitting Valentine’s Day topic. Her Roman son, Cupid, after all, is one of today’s symbols and his arrows are supposedly the root cause of what we call romantic love. She herself, however, is not such a simple creature. To the Greeks she represented more than just love and superficial beauty. She is in fact one of the oldest deities in human history and might be among the first gods human beings worshipped.
According tot he Greeks, Aphrodite’s birth was the direct result of Kronos’s gelding of their father. As his manhood sunk to the bottom of the sea, semen and blood mixed with the salty waves and Aphrodite rose from the stew riding a conch shell. Like the goddess Athena later on, Aphrodite has no mother. She was sired only and as a result is quite a forceful deity who wore the pants in all her relationships.
She has many aspects that run the gamut of female existence, but she also held dominion over male potency and war. Currently an exhibit of her history and the art it’s inspired is running at a museum in Boston. One of the sculptures has never been out of Italy before and depicts Hermaphrodite, her son with Hermes. From the back it appears to be a sleeping woman but walk around to the front and there is a penis protruding from between the sleeper’s legs.
Dee is a bit young for Aphrodite’s full history. Rick Riordan, who authors the Percy Jackson series, deftly works around the fact that his demi-god characters are all products of adultery. Last night, Dee and I discussed the fact that Percy’s father was married but had girlfriends. She didn’t seem to think this was too awful until I asked her what she would think of Dad having girlfriends on the side. She wrinkled her nose in her most disapproving manner,
“I wouldn’t like that.”
I wouldn’t care for it much myself.
“So that’s why Hera is also so angry at Zeus then,” she continued as more pieces fell into place.
“Exactly,” I said.
“But why does Hephaestus need to spy on Aphrodite all the time to catch her with Ares if he has girlfriends too?”
“He’s just being mean.”
More puzzled forehead frown lines and pursed lips followed but no more questions – yet.

11 thoughts on “Aphrodite”
Forgot to mention that Hestia would also be a Titan, and she was rewarded for abstaining from love.
Yup, Hestia was a virgin. It’s funny you should mention that the Percy Jackson series tackles the fate of Olympia, and chooses Hesita as the arbiter. Before my husband died, I was working on a draft for a novel on the EXACT same theme. I chose Hestia, because Zues rewarded her virginity with the keys to Olympus, so she was the caretaker. It seemed natural that she should decide. It’s interesting how she disappeared from her role as one of the original six supereme deities, and how Olympus similarly gave way to Rome. I don’t even know if they had an Olympus with Roman deities. There’s always so much more to learn on this topic! I wanted Hestia to be my favourite, but I’m inclined to believe the “gods” choose you. Ask Dee what she think? Did she choose Hestia, or did Hestia choose her?
Hestia is mostly represented in a child’s form in the book and that is what attracted Dee. She likes Artemis for the same reason. They remain little girls and my wee one is in no hurry to grow up.
She is drawn most to the water b/c of Percy, I think, b/c she also had a difficult time learning to read. It was a bonding point. When I started reading the series to her, she was struggling academically and a bit socially. Poseidon’s son was set apart as a mortal and as a demi-god. She saw herself in him in some ways, I think. I don’t think that at nine she could articulate this however.
I do agree with you that deities choose us. If we are open to the universe, what/who we need finds us. Most of the time anyway.
Included “I don’t want to grow up”, a Holly Cole version of another famous singer. The line that stands out for me: “Seems like folks turn into things they never want.” I’m not in a hurry to grow up either, but unlike Dee, best I move on that. I enjoyed your blog and look forward to keeping abreat of your entries.
Sorry, When I said Hestia, I meant Hera.
I wondered b/c I was pretty sure that Hestia was a virgin deity. She is Dee’s favorite character in Riordan’s The Last Olympian b/c she is the one who counsels Percy and whose advice he ultimately takes when making his decision about the fate of Olympus. I don’t know if you enjoy young adult works based on the Greek myths but you make like the Percy Jackson series. I enjoyed them.
It occurred to me that Hestia was also a Titan originally, and was also horribly thwarted in love, by Zues. I don’t even know if they had children, but they MUST have, because Zues raped her. But then, Hades also raped Persephone, Persephone who was also originally a Titan, but betrothed to Hades by Zues. So you might say she was also frustrated in love. They myths say they fell for eachother in the end, but there’s tons of evidence to suggest that niether love, nor conusmation happened. It seems that only Zues was allowed to impregnate Titans – wouldn’t be interesting if evidence bears that out??
Judging by my own collossally failed love life, I’d say Zues similarly singled me out for punishment, lol. He didn’t just have it in for the Titans…
I got really into mythology for some reason when I was in great nine … and then lost interest.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
What a great post for Valentines Day, a very interesting read.
Happy Valentines Day. 😀
I always did love a good mythology story
You reminded me that Aphrodite was a titan before she became the daughter of Zeus. I can’t remember exactly why, as Zeus’s daughter, she was forced to marry Hesphestus, but considering how Zeus treated the titans that didn’t end up in Tatarus, that seems consistent. He seems to have a habit of wating to frustrate them in love. Consider also Eos, the dawn, and another Titan, as well as Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus, a Titan, who was tricked into marrying Pandora. I guess he didn’t want more Titans running around, by the looks of it! I was also thinking of how the “gods” influence society, even though people are so unaware of that, they scoff at the notion, and also wondered, like your daughter, would society be different if we re-wrote the script for them? When you look at love and war in this day and age, Aphrodite is fallen…fallen. Hey! Happy Valentines day!

Hi: I'm upgrading my dashcam in my 2014 Prius 3 to a VIOFO A129 DUO (dual cam) and one feature that this new one has that my old one didn't was a parking monitor function. In order to implement this feature, I need to hardwire the dashcam to get always on power (instead of just using the USB plug to get ignition on power). The little box that the kit comes with also includes a voltage level cutoff -- so if the 12V battery drops below 11.8V, 12V, 12.2V, or 12.4V it will cut off. Setting Up with the VIOFO 3-Wire Hardwiring Kit | Dash Cam How To Installation Guides — BlackboxMyCar I've searched the threads and noticed that some people recommend tapping into the dome light, opening up the rearview mirror to access the wiring inside for the homelink, the wiring behind the cigarette adapter to get the necessary constant and ignition-on power. Q: If I go with the fuse-tap option, which circuits have constant or ignition on power that I can tee off of? This is probably the cleanest way to install. If not, what's a better backup plan? I suspect it would be the cigarette adapter wiring under the center console but I'm open to suggestions. Right now, I plan to just run the wiring for the rear dashcam and use the stock USB cable I already have in place from the previous setup (runs from in front of the rearview mirror, down the driver's side a-pillar, underneath the steering column, and back to the USB plug in the armrest.

According to numerous reports yesterday, it appears that there was some kind of BlackBerry outage. The outage lasted from about 6:30pm EST yesterday, and lasted until 2am this morning. RIM said the outage affected 18% of RIM BIS 2.x customers. This is really unacceptable for RIM. Perhaps it's just growing pains but if this keeps up, they're going to make a lot of people very, very frustrated.
Another BlackBerry Outage?

Happy early Mother’s Day to all moms out there!
She protects with arms of
strength and adoring love,
embodies splendor of many colors, bold
for confidence, pastel
for giving support
She is the butterfly
on the breeze, flying
with style, the hummingbird outside our window
she graces our presence
a lovely blessing
She will swim upstream with
vigor if need be
a sister, daughter, friend, lover, a caring
spirit like no other
an angel on earth
(My mom passed away 12 years ago and my mother-in-law at a very young age, three decades ago. But these two amazing women live in our hearts, and not a day goes by without thinking of them.) 💗
And thank you to my amazing daughter and son for making me feel so blessed!

Arthur has blogged on the Cricket Australia website, and it's clear that Homeworkgate was just the straw that broke the coach's resolve; he opines:
To say the last couple of days have been challenging would be an understatement.When we sat down as a leadership group and made these tough decisions I knew it would polarise public opinion, but internally I certainly know we’ve made the absolute right decision.This is a line in the sand moment. A point we’ll look back on in a couple of years’ time when we’re back to number one in the world and say was a defining moment. The last week and a half since the end of the Hyderabad Test has been the toughest in my 11 years coaching.
The media reaction to this decision was like none I’ve seen in my coaching career and has certainly divided opinion. Some people have commented it’s been one of the biggest stories in Australian cricket for a decade or more. Let’s be absolutely clear. The decision to suspend Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, James Pattinson and Usman Khawaja for not adhering to a team request is the defining moment, but it has been a culmination of lots of small minor indiscretions that have built up to now.
It's pretty clear that Mickey Arthur's patience had become a finite commodity, and that the failure by Watson, Khawaja, Johnson and Pattinson to comply with a team deadline forced his hand; he continues:
Some people may ask why it was left to get to this point, such an ‘extreme measure’. We have given lots of latitude and flexibility with a young and inexperienced squad. We know it’s going to take time for them to grow and mature, but there is only so long the leadership group can hold their hand. This decision was about sending a strong message that it is about time all players had some accountability for their actions. Being late for a meeting, high skinfolds, wearing the wrong attire, back-chat or giving attitude are just some examples of these behavioural issues that have been addressed discretely but continue to happen. If we’re deadly serious about getting back to number one in the world, all players need to raise the bar and lift their game. If not, we must be content at being number three or four or five in world cricket because we won’t get any better. The players won’t learn and we’ll continue a vicious cycle.
It is a strong message to everyone in Australian cricket that if you want to play for the Australian Cricket Team, then we demand excellence and corner-cutting, taking short-cuts or arriving with a bad attitude will no longer be tolerated.
Mickey Arthur is a tough old rooster. He's been around international cricket for a while, and has earned a reputation as a no-nonsense operator. The Australian players dropped this week have pushed the boundaries in a variety of subtle and none-too-subtle ways, but they have been caught out.
We have no problem with Mickey Arthur and Michael Clarke drawing a line in the sand. If that's what needs to happen to make the Australian cricket team great again, then that's what has to happen. Team management sets the agenda, not a group of highly-paid and sometimes highly-strung players.

If I could grant any country an award for the most breathtaking, awe inspiring, priceless sunsets, Mexico would be the winner. I really don’t understand how Mother Nature has the time to paint these masterpieces. She stays busy I guess. Of all the cities in Mexico, Zihuatanejo, pronounced as “zee-watt-a-NEH-ho” which means “place of woman” in the Nahuatl tongue, has been a main recipient of the sun drenched artwork. Known for its sports fishing, diving and snorkeling, gorgeous beaches, surfing and laid back lifestyle, this gorgeous destination has been taking travelers by storm since the 1970’s. Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is now the third most visited city in Mexico after Cancun and Puerto Vallarta.
Featured photo, photo credit is from the lovely, Journey Mexico. Check them out on Facebook while you’re keeping up with the latest gossip.
Here are a couple of amazing restaurants that serve up the best sunsets money can buy. Hasn’t anyone ever told you, you buy the view the food is free!
Nestled on the cliffside overlooking the bay, Ristorante Il Mare offers a variety of modern Italian and Greek cuisine paired with the local bay catches of the day. They have great cocktails, amazing food and a breathtaking view.

This place in particular is a little difficult to get into since it belongs to a small boutique hotel and has very limited seating but it is so worth the wait. Once you are in, the whole experience develops into a beautiful magical evening. They offer an amazing tasting menu with local catches to awesome pasta. The sunset, however, is the course that takes your breath away.
This cute, laid back beachside restaurant is a retreat for beach goers. They offer everything from water sports, yoga, great food, happy hour and a place for the children to play. That will make your hour even happier. The sunsets are a remarkable piece of mother nature that Paty’s guest savor just as much as the food.

El Galeon is a fine dining experience located on the waterfront at luxurious the Marina Ixtapa. The views of the yachts, mountains, hillside houses, and the sounds of the local fishermen coming into port with their fresh catch is what makes this restaurant exceptional. Now granted, they do not have an open view of the ocean, but the sunsets still take your breath away as they set behind the mountains afar. Magical doesn’t do this place justice. Did I mention you’re on a boat? Yeah, maybe I should have mentioned that!
Espuma Mediterranean is another boutique hotel restaurant with an elegant culinary style. It is a Mediterranean-style restaurant with an Italian chef making tasteful creations into delectable fare. Combined with the magical sunsets, Espuma Mediterranean is an unparalleled experience.
All restaurants recommended here practice good hygiene and food safety. In other words, you can drink their water and ice and eat their fruits & vegetables!

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has become, without exaggeration, another challenge for humanity, which is of a global nature. On the one hand, we are talking about the ability to quickly and effectively determine the nature of the causative agent of the next disaster and develop appropriate methods and drugs for treatment. On the other hand, any epidemic, let alone a pandemic, has very specific economic consequences in the short, medium and long term. As world history testifies, first of all, epidemics, pandemics and other types of emergencies entail an excessive loss of resources, which can lead to a decline in economic growth, a slowdown in reproduction rates, and a decrease in the volume of output of goods and services in the territory where the disaster occurred. In these circumstances, today it is no longer in doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has become a challenge for the global economy. Research and provisions on the feasibility of institutional changes in the system of budget revenues based on the activation of financial and economic regulatory potential of the state, which will increase budget revenues without increasing the tax burden on the domestic economy. The paper offers a brief analysis of the main short-term indicators of Ukraine's economic development. The modern functioning and filling of the revenue base of the state budget is considered, and the main problems are identified. Highlighted consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget preparation process for the next fiscal years is reviewed, with an increased focus on institutional aspects and operational constraints related to the COVID-19 context. The stage of strategy formation, for the effective functioning and filling of the revenue Bai of the state budget is an essential part of its budget preparation process, unprecedented political measures to redirect existing resources to health and social support activities, the strategy formation stage will give the first opportunity to overestimate the impact of these measures and start planning the withdrawal of public finances on a solid foundation. According to the recommendations made to resolve the fiscal issue. The author highlights the mechanisms of flexibility of the state budget.

It is justified that scientific studies of economic security at country level gain higher importance in the conditions of transformation. The processes concerned with the investment security are gaining special significance, because it is an important condition for the sustainable development of a country. An econometric assessment of the data on incoming foreign direct investment in the national economy and Investment Attractiveness Index of Ukraine is performed. The theoretical framework of the investment security and its strategic goals are investigated. The investment security mechanism is defined by the author as the system of organizational, economic, institutional and legal actions with impact on the domestic economic environment, intended to stimulate domestic and foreign investors to sustain the scopes of economic investment capable to guarantee the extended reproduction of the economy, protection of the national economic interests, effective location, prevention and liquidation of the threats to the investment security of a country. The theoretical construction of the investment security mechanism is defined; its underlying theoretical and methodological principles are extended. It is shown that the organizational and economic mechanism for the investment security represents a multilevel hierarchical system of causally linked organizational and economic mechanisms and their typical groups (entities, objects, principles, methods, instruments etc.), and the ways of their interactions that harmonize economic relations (interests) of the government and business entities and the whole society. It is demonstrated that the investment security needs to be based on the following principles: the elaborated strategy; the clearly formulated national economic interests; the classification of threats; the defined set of indicators and their marginal levels; the security assessment; the applications of tools, ways and methods to ensure security; the elaborated strategy of the investment security. The investment security mechanism is implemented with the goal of guaranteeing the national economic interest. It is shown that the next step in the study has to focus on indentifying the risks and threats to the investment security and building the mechanism for protecting the national interests of a country.

This is not an all-inclusive list, but rather an idea to show you the variety of topics we enjoy helping clients with.
Even individuals involved in couples, marriage, or premarital counseling can benefit from participating in some individual counseling sessions. It’s important to process what you individually may be bringing into the relationship, and figure out how to be healthier.
Why start Individual Counseling?
Individual counseling allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, and work through challenging or influential memories. It helps clients identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
Individual counseling creates an opportunity for you to receive support and to process the issues that are impacting you. Individual counseling allows you to explore your beliefs, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive, confidential environment. It also can help you view your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through a different lens so that you can challenge yourself and grow.
When should you pursue Individual Counseling?
Often clients come to individual therapy when they are at a breaking point or in a crisis. While these situations are appropriate reasons to seek out therapy, it’s important to point out that you don’t have to be at a tipping point to seek out help. Individual counseling can help when you just need support or want a safe space to process through issues that pop up. It can help you process, developing insight, and gain awareness into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Individual counseling can be helpful even when life seems stable.
How can Individual Counseling help?
You may be wondering how individual counseling works? The first session is a getting to know you session. During the first session, we will gather information and ask questions about what brought you in. This is an important first step in figuring out how we can best help you. Some of the questions we may ask are: “What’s been going on lately”, “How have you been feeling?”, “How long has this been going on?” and many, many more questions like this. Together we will set goals for what therapy will look like moving forward. Oftentimes we will assign homework to help you reflect on what brought you in and what you want to accomplish with individual counseling. To read more about what to expect during the initial session, click here.
After the first initial session, we will work to help you understand your emotions, needs, desires, and roadblocks. We will discuss the best steps for moving forward with positive change in your life. Together we will identify problem-solving skills and positive coping mechanisms to implement. We will examine maladaptive patterns of behavior that are holding you back from reaching your best version of you. It’s important to develop strategies to help you accomplish your goals, and help provide support, guidance, and accountability along the way. We help work towards changing old patterns of behavior into better, healthier ways of relating to others. We’ll continue to provide consistent support as you continue on your journey to a healthier you.
We believe that individual counseling takes an investment from each person. Individual counseling requires active participation from you as the client. This means that you may be required to do homework outside of the session. We may request that you work on things outside of the session time; such as improving communication with others, setting appropriate boundaries, and journaling. While these things are not required, they will help you exponentially on your journey to being a better you. You truly do get out of counseling what you put in.
Often what you think you are coming to individual therapy for may only be a small part of what is actually going on. Or maybe you don’t know what is wrong and you are looking for guidance. Your therapist is trained to look for and identify other causes of emotional discomfort and to help bring them into the light for you. It’s important that we address and pinpoint the origins of any issues that have led you to therapy, as well as any issues your therapist may identify. Together, you and your therapist will be able to address and work through these additional topics.
It’s so rewarding to see clients make huge steps during individual counseling. This is why we are passionate about what we do! When a client can see things more clearly, set boundaries in a toxic relationship, or find recovery, it brings us joy as well. We want you to truly be the best version of you that you can be!
Individual therapy is most beneficial when you come consistently. To stop individual therapy before you are done addressing all topics can be damaging, and sometimes therapy takes a while before it is effective or you start to notice any change. Stick with it, you truly are worth it!.

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr was subpoenaed in a $1.6 billion defamation suit brought against Fox News by the voting machine company falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election.
Dominion Voting Systems Inc. is seeking sworn testimony from Barr, who served as former President Donald Trump’s attorney general, court filings show. One of several former administration officials who refuted Trump’s voter fraud claims, Barr said he told the president that some of his allegations were “complete nonsense,” according to a video recording of his deposition before the House Jan. 6 committee. Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson later testified that Trump threw his lunch against a wall after reading an interview in which Barr rejected claims of election fraud.
Barr’s lawyer, Noel Francisco, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Dominion is gathering testimony from bipartisan officials who warned Trump that his conspiracy was baseless, to demonstrate that Fox News was on notice that the claims were false and yet reported them anyway for weeks. Fox News has argued that its broadcasts on allegations of voter fraud were journalism protected by the First Amendment.
Last week Dominion subpoenaed Christopher Krebs, a former top cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security whom Trump fired for refusing to question the integrity of the election. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was pressured by Trump to flip the state’s election results after Joe Biden was declared the winner, was also subpoenaed.
According to Dominion’s suit in Delaware state court, Fox News knowingly broadcast false claims that voting machines were rigged in order to win back viewers upset that the conservative network had called the election for Biden.
A judge in December ruled Dominion’s suit against Fox News could go forward because the network probably had enough information after the election to know the conspiracy theory was false. The judge last month also allowed Dominion’s claim against Fox’s parent company Fox Corp. to move forward, because Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch may have acted with “actual malice” in directing the network to broadcast the conspiracy.

Taxing Coal to Hit the Goals: A simple way for Indonesia to reduce carbon emissions
An Indonesian coal tax of IDR 78,700 (USD 5.50) per tonne—as implemented in India—would generate around IDR 49 trillion (USD 3.6 billion) per year.
Indonesia’s coal-fired power stations cause 7,480 premature deaths per year from air pollution-related diseases—coal taxes should be increased to reflect these costs to society.
Coal accounts for 40% of Indonesia’s energy-related emissions—higher coal taxes are needed to encourage consumers and investors to switch to cleaner alternatives.
The Government of Indonesia is considering options for carbon pricing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon pricing is an effective and economically efficient way to reduce emissions, but details on operation and implementation could take years to resolve. As an interim and immediate measure, we recommend the government simply increase taxes on coal as a de facto form of carbon taxation. A coal tax would immediately cover 40% of Indonesia’s energy-related emissions, be relatively easy to administer (applying to one fuel at one rate), and generate significant revenue. A tax of IDR 78,700 (USD 5.50) per tonne of coal—equivalent to a carbon tax of around IDR 32,000 (USD 2.20) per tonne CO2—would generate around IDR 49 trillion (USD 3.6 billion) per year. The revenue could be used to compensate vulnerable households and sectors for higher energy prices, encourage investment in clean energy, and assist coal workers and communities.
India has demonstrated that such a tax is politically and economically feasible. Like Indonesia, India has a large domestic coal industry, substantial electricity subsidies, significant poverty, and rapidly growing electricity demand. Despite these challenges, India imposed a coal “cess” (special tax) in 2010, which is now equivalent to USD 5.50 per tonne and raised USD 3.7 billion in 2019. A special coal tax in Indonesia would help deliver the government’s goals to reduce carbon emissions and toxic air pollution, promote renewable energy, and increase revenue.

And though historian are a tiny skeptical around this epic entrance in to the domain, most travelers are completely definite that there is rather enchanted about Rome.
Porto and Douro Vale
When a drowsy river side metropolitan finest recognized for its heartened wine, Porto has developed as a lively arts capital that is fairly receiving a ration of buzz as an excessive worth destination. In the meantime, Rem Koolhaas’ enthusiastically designed as well as hugely prevalent Casa da Música keep the melody going at constant presentations, counting free outside concert in the summertime. Renowned new restaurants have furthermore tapped in to the city’s imaginative novel viewpoint.
What is old is novel over in the buzzy Danube-straddling Budapest. Head to the devastation pubs (romkocsma) in addition to garden bars, fashionable watering hole in old, special unrenovated building in addition to wild plant-scape. Budapest has long been famous for its numerous thermal baths, as well as the 16th century Turkish-era Rácz Bathhouses are set reopen this year afterward a long period of end as part of the comfortable Rácz Hotel
You will leave most other travelers behind as well as there is no lack of dramatic springs, lava turfs and towering waterfall to keep you business. For those in exploration of a soak, Myvatn Nature Saunas is a smaller as well as less popular variety of the famous Blue Lagoon.
Moravia, Czech Republic
If the traveler uproar of the progressively prevalent Prague plus Bohemia demonstrates too abundant, Moravia is simply waiting to be exposed by those looking for a quieter, genuinely Czech involvement. Moravia is recognized for its healthy reds wines, in addition to lately for native late-ripening white. Telč, one of the state’s prettiest cities, has a perfect UNESCO-registered Old Town square, ringed through Gothic arcade.
You cannot blame a traveler for being unfocussed by the fantastic alpine escapade heaven (plus recurrent Bollywood framework) that is close Berner Oberland.

Naming Croatia a hotspot is rather old news in tourism circles – its reputation is definitely established amongst European travelers as well as sharply on the increase amongst Americans additionally. But many travelers are merely seeing one brilliant part of the nation, enticed to the approximately 2000 km-long coastline temporarily missing the varied jewelries of the in land metropolises, national parks as well as countryside.
Thrones would know from the luxurious scenery used through the display. The Giant’s Walkway with its attractive rambling hexagonal pillars of basalt dropping in to the sea, is associated by a memorable 16 km seaside walk alongside the Causeway Shoreline to the credible Carrick-a-Rede line bridge through cliffs, island, beache, ruins as well as seabird alongside the way.

When looking to run an efficient and trouble-free operation, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump users must keep in mind the following three parameters:
- Liquid Pulsation: Pulsation during liquid transfer occurs when there is a notable difference between the pump’s inlet pressure and head pressure. For example, it is not uncommon for metal and plastic AODD pumps with air-inlet pressure of 100 psi and head pressure of 90 psi to experience pressure swings of between 30 and 45 psi during every pump stroke. These conditions can result in sluggish flow rates and decreased operational efficiency.
- Water or Pipe Hammer: This phenomenon occurs when the pressure leaves the inlet pipe and moves downstream, and should this pressure hit a shutoff valve, it will rebound back within the piping at eight times the pressure than when it left. If this condition is left unchecked, the consequences can be severe, up to and including the forcing of valve balls through the valve seat, which will halt the pump’s operation.
- Piping Noise: A pulsating or turbulent fluid stream will create noise, or “chatter,” as the liquid moves around the valve balls, again harming flow rates and efficiency.
The solution to these challenging pump conditions is the Wilden® Equalizer® Series Integral Surge Dampener (ISD). Available in plastic and metal models, the Equalizer ISD has been designed to integrate directly into the top of the pump’s manifold, removing the pressure variations and fluctuations that can result as the pumped liquid moves through the inlet toward the discharge.
The Equalizer ISD accomplishes this by creating a supplementary pumping action. Using a diaphragm as a separation membrane within the Equalizer, the Equalizer can trap a given volume of liquid on one side and pressurized air on the other. When the fluid pressure falls in the system, the Equalizer supplies additional pressure to the discharge line between pump strokes by displacing fluid via diaphragm movement. This movement provides the supplementary pumping action needed to eliminate pressure variation and pulsation virtually. In addition, operating off an air line that connects directly to an air regulator from the pump’s air line allows the Equalizer to run off the same pressure as the pump.
The resulting benefits are minimized pipe strain, reduced water/pipe hammer, lower pipe noise or chatter levels, enhanced protection of inline equipment and lower maintenance costs.

People often will say they have a budget. You say you know where your money goes and you don’t need it all written down to keep up with it? I issue you this challenge. Keep track of every peso you spend for one month and I do mean every peso.
I know of a lady entrepreneur who set a budget by use of several envelopes. Everyday this lady entrepreneur at end of each business day, would set aside amount for purchasing goods from the market, daily rental, etc. Whatever is left she deposits in her bank account.
Here is a test, which she voluntarily shared with me. She called it a test to see what small items can be a big savings. You will be shocked at what the itty-bitty expenses add up to.
Take the total you spent on just one unnecessary item for the month, multiply it by 12 for months in a year and multiply the result by 5 to represent 5 years.
That is how much you could have saved AND drawn interest on in just five years. That, my friend, is the very reason all of us need a budget.
If we can get control of the small expenses that really don’t matter to the overall scheme of our lives, we can enjoy financial success.
The little things really do count. Cutting what you spend on lunch from 200 pesos a day to 150 pesos a day on every workday in a five-day workweek saves Php. 250 a week… Php. 1000 a month… Php. 12,000 a year… Php 60,000 in five years…. plus interest.
See what I mean… it really IS the little things and you still eat lunch everyday AND that was only one place to save money in your daily living without doing without one thing you really need. There are a lot of places to cut expenses if you look for them.
Set some specific long term and short term goals. There are no wrong answers here. If it’s important to you, then it’s important period.
If you want to be able to make a down payment on a house, start a college fund for your kids, buy a sports car, take a vacation to France… anything… then that is your goal and your reason to get a handle on your financial situation now.
There is a saying that If there is a will there is a way.
By the way mark your calendar for October 2 to 4, 2015 the Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc. (AFFI) shall be hosting its 14th Filipino Franchise and Business Expo at World Trade Center in Pasay City.
You will not just see the growing micro entrepreneurs who are now taking the road to expansion via franchising but learn by meeting them plus a host of top Filipino Speakers who also walk the talk.

However, from what I know of her character, Rue does not. But I do notice they omit the part where I covered her in flowers. In comparing Rue and Prim in Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, there seems to be evidence that Prim might symbolize innocence. The most prominent symbol in the novel is the mockingjay, and its exact meaning shifts somewhat over the course of the story. the government controlling the districts and the hunger games. As Rue slowly dies, Katniss stays by her side, sings to her, and surrounds her body with flowers (Collins, Hunger Games 234). The Rue flower reminds Katniss of home and of Katniss. The flowers represent Rue herself (Rue was named after a flower) . She thinks back to Peeta's statement that he wanted to make a diff - not just a pawm in the games.

Specifically, the Mockingjay Pin. These Hunger Games quotes will have you flashback to reading the books or watching the movies. Written by Suzanne Collins, the Hunger Game is an adult dystopian novel with various symbols. After the death of her ally Rue, Katniss covers the body of the young girl with flowers as a symbol of Rue's humanity and a tribute to her short life. That seems so out of place for the Capitol. Symbols. But why is the painting there? Girls Named After Plants: Katniss and Rue. In the previous book, Rue and Katniss used the birds to communicate by having them repeat a certain melody. The mockingjay consequently takes on an additional layer of symbolism, representing not only a general rebellion against the Capitol, but also Katnissâs specific desire to defy it. she believes Rue deserves to be honored with flowers + decorated her body and all around her.

Gov. Ned Lamont vetoed three minor bills Friday evening that were related to workforce training, real estate, and the theft of used cooking oil.
Lamont had initially told reporters that he did not expect to veto any bills this year, but he added that it was subject to review by lawyers who closely read the bills passed in the final, hectic hours of the legislative session that ended on June 5.
Facing a signing deadline Friday, Lamont worked throughout the afternoon to finish the work from the regular session. The legislature will now convene on July 22 because the state constitution requires that the override session must be held on a Monday. It was unclear whether any bills would be overridden because lawmakers have not discussed the potential overrides in caucuses.
Overall, Lamont signed 223 bills this year out of 226 that were passed by both chambers. Those measures were distilled from thousands of bills that were proposed and were either blocked by various committees or failed to receive a vote from both chambers of the legislature.
Lamont rejected a bill that called for changing the state law regarding the theft of waste vegetable oil that is used by restaurants for cooking. In some communities, the thefts have become more common from restaurants because the oil can be sold to recycling firms and then used in other products such as biodiesel and shampoo.
The problem, Lamont said, is that the proposed penalties for stealing used oil would be far too high under the bill that passed the legislature handily. A person caught stealing the oil could have faced up to a year in prison "regardless of the value of the stolen product,'' Lamont said.
"A person who steals $35 worth of waste vegetable oil should not face the prospect of a prison sentence four times greater than that faced by a person who steals $35 worth of gasoline,'' Lamont wrote Friday in his veto message.
Another veto focused on a bill on workforce training that was passed in the final hours on the last night of the legislative session. In restaurants, some workers on the same shift perform a minimum-wage job and then switch over to waiting on tables where they earn tips — thus earning two different wages on the same day. If employers do not keep records, the employee must receive the higher wage, Lamont said. He vetoed the bill due to concerns about proposed changes in state regulations on the issue and pending lawsuits on wages.
"This retroactive attempt to extinguish a worker’s right to recover wages in an amount lawfully required and earned is patently unfair to the affected workers,'' Lamont wrote. "It also raises serious due process and other constitutional concerns.''
On the workforce measure, House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz said, “I am disappointed the governor chose to veto a bill that I believe helps Connecticut businesses grow. Over the next few days, I will be talking with members about what action we will take.”
The third veto concerned a bill that would have removed "existing consumer protections that require agents of sellers of residential properties to disclose whom they represent to potential buyers before significant discussions or negotiations begin,'' Lamont wrote.
Lamont said that the Connecticut Real Estate Commission had raised concerns about the bill, and he vetoed the measure because he agreed with those concerns.

If I were to describe Moneyland, I would say it’s Hunger Games meets Lord of the Flies, meets Squid Game. This is a futuristic horror novel, where robots have taken over the world and are experimenting on humans. One of these experiments involves leaving twelve teenagers in an abandoned suburb where they must fight over resources.
The main character, Eden, is a participant in this experiment. She is a wealthy and entitled teenager leading a consumerist lifestyle. Usually, I’m not a fan of this kind of trope: the bratty high school bully who comes from a rich family. But in this story, the trope works, because Eden is quickly thrown into an environment where there is a shortage of everything. This stark contrast to Eden’s old life offers very interesting character development.
The juxtaposition of settings is a compelling aspect of this novel. We have the humans who are rich and hedonistic. And then we have the human experiments who must fight each other for resources. These extremes reflect on how an imbalance of resources, whether too much or too little, breaks and tears apart society.
Just a note, there is violence towards animals in this book, so if you’re at all sensitive or squeamish, I would proceed with caution.
Overall, an intriguing read. Would definitely recommend to fans of horror and science fiction.

Updated from 10:50 a.m. EDT
kicked off the third-quarter bank earnings season Thursday by reporting that its profit fell 3% from a year ago, but said it sees sunnier days ahead.
The Southeast regional lender's earnings of $331.6 million, or $1.18 a share, were in line with Wall Street's expectations, as measured by Thomson First Call. A year ago, the Atlanta-based bank posted net income of $343 million, or $1.20 a share.
Bank analysts pay a lot of attention to SunTrust's earnings and morning conference call to gauge how other banks will perform in the quarter. On the surface, analysts probably liked what they heard, even though SunTrust executives declined to offer any specific earnings guidance and some banking operations continue to show weakness.
"We are feeling a good bit better,'' said SunTrust Chief Executive L. Phillip Humann on a conference with analysts. He said the bank is seeing signs of a return "to above-average (earnings per share) growth," and "more things are moving in the right direction than the wrong direction."
Investors are looking toward next week, when the bank earnings season really gets going, to see if that optimism is shared by executives at
Bank of America
In early morning trading shares of SunTrust rose 32 cents, or a half-percent, to $64.05. Like many bank stocks, SunTrust is trading near its 52-week, a fact that could make it difficult for investors to plow more money into bank stocks without more concrete signs of blockbuster earnings next year.
As for SunTrust, much of its slump in net income was the result of an 11% rise in noninterest expenses to $860 million. Some of the increase was due to a rise in marketing costs, which could be another indication of the bank's bullishness about the economy. But some analysts were disappointed with the expense numbers.
"We were discouraged particularly by weak cost control,'' said Rodrigo Quintanilla, a Merrill Lynch bank analyst, in a research note. Quintanilla has a "neutral'' rating on SunTrust shares and considers the stock, which he does not own, as "fairly valued.''
The bank's earnings also were hurt by a 32% decline in securities gains to $31.1 million. The decline in that category was due in part to a sharp rise in interest rates in the second half of the quarter, as higher interest rates may have lowered the value of the bank's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and other investments.
One thing analysts will be looking for in the quarter is to see how banks handled the sharp turnaround in interest rates, in particular, the rise in the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury to about 4.25%. The spike in rates has slowed the market for mortgage refinancings and made some bank investments less profitable.
Meanwhile, the bank also reported a continuing decline in bad loans, another sign that the worst of the corporate-loan crisis may have passed for the nation's banks. SunTrust said nonperforming assets, which include bad loans, fell 22% to $463.8 million.
The bank also set aside less money in the quarter to cover the cost of writing off bad loans. The provision for loan losses in the quarter was $79.7 million, down 19% from a year ago.
It wasn't all good news for SunTrust, however.
SunTrust said that low interest in the beginning of the quarter squeezed its net interest margin, a measure of the profitability of its lending operation. In the quarter, the margin fell to 2.98%, from 3.05% in the second quarter and 3.38% a year ago.
But with interest rates rising sharply in the second half of the quarter, its likely that SunTrust's net interest margin will expand. The bank also said its margins were weighed down by the impact of consolidating a commercial paper financing program onto its books. It had to take that action in a light of a new accounting rule for off-balance sheet entities called Fin 46.
Even with the margin squeeze, net interest income -- interest income minus expenses -- rose 3.4% compared to a year ago to $833 million, as the bank posted higher loan growth. The bank said average loans rose 8% to $77.7 billion.
But the rise in loan growth was mainly to the consumer sector, something that's been a strong point for banks throughout the economic downturn. Lending to corporations remains weak and may reveal that U.S. businesses still aren't sold on the strength of the U.S. economic recovery.
Also, the bank posted higher losses on its mortgage-servicing portfolio, due to rapid prepayments on mortgages earlier in the quarter. In that portfolio, it incurred a $52 million loss, up 44% from a year ago.
