Those of us born in the 1960s and 1970s look like being the first generation since the war to have a worse time of it financially than our parents, thanks to spiralling house prices, crappier pension deals and less opportunity to save money for our futures.
The depressing picture has been painted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which says the only way today's generation of would-be home-owners can beat the system and enjoy a life free from financial stress is to get lucky with a jackpot inheritance from the wealthier previous generation. We earn more, but spend more too, thanks to peer pressure to always have the best kind of telephone. Grandad didn't have that, as there was only one kind of telephone in the 1960s.
And to make it worse for us, the fact that the current wealthy wave of the middle-aged who bought their houses for nothing in the 1970s are likely to live longer than ever and spend their savings pots on health care when they reach old age, means there's going to be less in the way of money left to inherit in future.
So if you haven't already got a house or a loaded ISA or a rich dad in good health, you're stuffed, seems to be the message. [Telegraph]

Long-listed for Canada's Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Short-listed for the Lambda Literary Award.
Readers who enjoy rich details of place will find Mootoo's writing about her settings to be luxuriant; we are especially treated to abundant descriptions of Trinidad... A] thoughtful exploration of place and identity.
Mootoo's character-driven novel is rich in setting and slow in pace, inviting the reader to linger over its closely observed details.
Mootoo has produced a stunning meditation on story... This novel] portrays the beautiful (yet often tense) bond between a parent and child, the complexities of immigration, the fluidity of gender, and provides a juxtaposition between two extreme climates, Toronto and Trinidad. It is a gorgeously written novel.
--National Post (Canada)
Jonathan Lewis-Adey's mother left when he was nine, but when he finds his estranged parent again, he is surprised to find that the person he knew as his mother has become a man named Sydney. Set in the Trinidad of her upbringing, Shani Mootoo's vivid writing explores the pain and confusion Jonathan experiences as a result of Sydney's choices.
--World Literature Today, included in the Nota Bene section
A fascinating premise that gives voice to the queer-identified...Mootoo's brilliant evocations of Trinidad's] paradisiacal glow...are a real gift to the reader.
--Globe and Mail (Canada)
In rich and vivid descriptive prose, Mootoo portrays her characters' journeys between countries and toward greater selfhood.
--Quill & Quire, starred review
The novel's greatest triumph is its painfully poignant characterization of a privileged son, who cannot always embrace the transition that his mother--now father--has made.
--Asian American Literature Fans
Queer Canadian visual artist and writer Shani Mootoo's latest novel Moving Forward Sideways Like a Crab follows the journey of writer Jonathan as he searches for the mother who left when his parents divorced.
--Baltimore Out Loud
A powerfully moving tribute to the lasting power of storytelling and the surprising and unpredictable nature of human emotion. It's truly an excellent literary feat and a great story to get lost in
--Bookworm Shawn (blog)
Jonathan Lewis-Adey was nine when his parents separated, and his mother, Sid, vanished entirely from his life. It is not until he is a grown man that Jonathan finally reconnects with his beloved lost parent, only to find, to his shock and dismay, that the woman he knew as Sid in Toronto has become an elegant man named Sydney living in his native Trinidad. For nine years, Jonathan has paid regular visits to Sydney on his island retreat, trying with quiet desperation to rediscover the parent he adored inside this familiar stranger, and to overcome his lingering confusion and anger at the choices Sydney has made.
At the novel's opening, Jonathan is summoned urgently to Trinidad where Sydney, now aged and dying, seems at last to offer him the gift he longs for: a winding story that moves forward sideways as it reveals the truths of Sydney's life. But when and where the story will end is up to Jonathan, and it is he who must decide what to do with Sydney's haunting legacy of love, loss, and acceptance.

Plans have been submitted for a new 22-storey block just outside London Bridge station on Tooley street.
London Bridge and surrounding areas have seen much change over the past decade. Leaving the shiny new station you’ll pass new office blocks such as the Shard. Similar new builds abound except one or two holdouts – such as Colechurch House.
This 1963 block sits at the junction of London Bridge and Tooley Street and encompasses a small section of elevated walkway.
If heading to the City you will probably pass Colebridge House at street level – especially post-station rebuild – or you could pass through the building itself avoiding traffic by walking to a bridge over Tooley Street.
The dark walkway present a remnant of the past – and it’s now in line for demolition.
Plans were submitted last month for a 22-storey block beside London Bridge. It’s a slender series of blocks from Foster & Partners graduating in height as it heads east along Tooley Street.
One controversial aspect is the proposed structure would occupy space in front of St. Olaf House.
The entire structure is on stilts with some areas of street level space occupied with kiosks, and others being open such as in front of Grade II listed St Olaf.
Southwark Playhouse Theatre are mooted as occupying part of the site with a 250-space theatre. Most of the building would be occupied by office space.
Renders appear to show a cramped pedestrian area in places given high levels of footfall in the area.
A cycle stacker is planned which would provide 797 spaces. Those of us who’ve read about Woolwich’s auto stacker will be permitted a wry smile.

Western Cape & Germany strengthen relations to end load shedding
Media release: Western Cape and Germany strengthen relations to end load shedding.
Premier Alan Winde and his Cabinet this week welcomed a government delegation from the Federal Republic of Germany, led by Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Action Dr. Robert Habeck.
Germany and the Western Cape Government (WCG) have for years enjoyed healthy and productive relations in numerous areas, such as energy and skills development.
“Our long-standing relationship with Germany has increased investment – both private and public – in our economy, as well as in other critical areas. Of late, Germany - and specifically the Free State of Bavaria - renewed its commitment to helping our province through ongoing investment in vocational skills training.” The Premier pointed out, “This is especially vital at a time when for the fourth time this year we are forced to endure stage 6 load shedding, further exposing South Africa’s desperate need for more skilled professionals to help Eskom, which I hope our partnership will develop.”
At a welcoming ceremony at Leeuwenhof this week, energy dominated discussions. “We must ensure the province’s Just Energy Transition meets the growing demand for electricity but also helps guide our move to cleaner energy. It is a delicate balance but with our strategic partnership with Germany we are confident we can get it right,” Premier Winde said.
Dr. Habeck said, "Germany and the Western Cape certainly have a lot of common ground. We both share the same values and acknowledge the threat the climate crisis poses to all of us. Climate change is something we can only beat together.”
He added, “We talked about the shift to cheap, reliable and clean green energy. This will not only slow down the progression of the climate crisis and lower our dependency on fossil fuels but will also help strengthen South Africa’s electricity grid while also offering new opportunities for trade and export through green hydrogen. I look forward to strengthening our relationship and cooperation."
Premier Winde added, “The question that must always be foremost in our minds when we hold engagements such as these, is how is this benefiting our residents? If we can expand and deepen relations with our international partners, I believe we will be able to navigate our way out of our mutual energy crises”.
Recently Premier Winde and his Northern Cape counterpart Zamani Saul inked a Memorandum of Understanding to work together in developing a green hydrogen (GH2) corridor, between the two provinces, linking up with Namibia. This ambitious project will help secure foreign direct investment and create jobs. Importantly it will receive funding through Germany’s development bank KfW.

We live in a difficult moment, one filled with extinctions. In response, we raise our voices and demand change. There is hope yet, although hope must coexist with the very real threat that no one is listening. There is a nightmarish quality to things, as we find ourselves struggling to make sense of events over which we have little control. I strive to remember that we are not alone, that others have lived on the brink, perhaps are living now on a razor’s edge. I want to acknowledge that our ancestors faced similar times, learned to fight back and to hide, awaiting a better day. I struggle to appreciate their choices, to applaud their tenacity in the face of brutality.
I am the result of their dreaming, and carry their hope for a better future, interwoven inextricably with my own. Our human generations now join giraffes, manatees, and innumerable other peoples, large and small, in a shrinking, desperate world where our shared personhood is acknowledged by what seems like a tiny few. Within me are voices who recall the teachings of those who held me as a promise for many generations, those who knew that all organisms are people who once shared language, romance, and passion.
I wonder: how have we arrived at this place where we have forgotten our essential kinship, our shared personhood with all beings? After all, isn’t extinction just another word for genocide? It is hard to sit with the rage, not knowing for sure who it belongs to, or what part is mine. I have learned to treasure those rare moments when I remember there is no mine, just ours, the singing and dancing of hundreds of millions of years of lived experience, the lifetimes of innumerable elders residing now in our genes. They remind us, least we forget, that our genes, experiences, and memories are on loan from both the past and the future, and that the gift of our lives comes with sacred obligation.

A Game of Thrones spin-off? George R.R. Martin recently told Entertainment Weekly he’s open to the idea of a spin-off series for the hugely popular HBO series.
The author is a producer on the fantasy epic and has written several episodes.
In the interview, Martin said there is a “whole world full of stories” in the Game of Thrones universe that could be used as a spin-off series:
There is certainly no lack of material. Every episode of The Naked City – one of the television shows I watched as a kid – ended with a voice-over: ‘There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.’ There are eight million stories in Westeros as well … and even more in Essos and the lands beyond. A whole world full of stories, waiting to be told… if indeed HBO is interested.”
He added that one of his novellas, which take place before the events of the HBO series, would be good material for a show or TV movie:
Each of the novellas could easily be done as a two-hour stand-alone movie for television; that would probably be the ideal way to do them, rather than as an ongoing weekly series. The Hedge Knight& and its sequels are lighter [in tone] than A Song of Ice and Fire, more in the realm of action/adventure.”
However, Martin says there have been no serious discussion of a spin-off series yet. Season six of Game of Thrones premieres on April 24th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Do you watch Game of Thrones? Would you watch a spin-off series?

You really don't have to be an artist to create art. This is very hard for people to attempt, because there is a level of fear to be dealt with. Mostly I think everyone is afraid of failing and then feeling bad about themselves. To overcome that, all you need to do is simplify!
Know this: there are no rules to creativity!
These were a gift for a dear friend of mine. She is QUEEN of the sewing world.
I knew it would be fitting to make her something about sewing, but I just couldn't attempt to actually sew something because it wouldn't be comparable to the amazing creations she can whip up. So I fell back on the classic silhouette.
If you want to attempt this yourself, but you can't draw, then simplify it!
You can print off any picture you want to silhouette. Re size to how large or small you want it before you print, and cut it out. Trace it onto your piece and paint it one color.
Want even more simple? TRACE IT ON BLACK PAPER, or patterned paper, whatever your heart desires. Remember, no rules!
You can Mod Podge it right onto the canvas or cardboard or wood!
Mod Podge will win your approval from Sassy.
Go to, and consider yourself Artist-ish, if not artistic!


With guests arriving next week for Thanksgiving, I found the Seventh Generation article that recently landed in my inbox particularly relevant: It offers tips “for coping when your visitors are less skilled in reducing, reusing and recycling than you are.”
Ah, yes. My family, God bless them, is just slightly behind the curve when it comes to green living. My mom has reusable grocery bags, but I fought her tooth and nail for a local turkey this Thanksgiving (although, to her credit, she wanted to buy an organic turkey from the Boy Scouts).
So I read through this article and had to stop myself from laughing out loud at my desk — I am the world’s worst holiday host. Really, it’s shameful.
They say: Don’t make your guests shiver. We are hardy souls here in Vermont, but we recognize that not everyone wears thermal underwear like a second skin. So I wake up early to make sure the house — or at least the kitchen — is warm in the morning.
Real life: Yeahhhh. As I’ve briefly mentioned before, I kept my apartment at a chilly 55 degrees last winter — heat was much more expensive than I ever expected. Normally I stayed in my bedroom and turned the heat higher in there. But when my family came for a week over Thanksgiving and we hung out downstairs in the living room, that thermostat stayed at 60. We had a space heater and a lot of blankets, but I really wouldn’t budge. This alone makes me a terrible host.
Of course, there’s more.
They say: Respect food choices. We’re a vegetarian household, so when carnivores come calling we prepare dishes that are as close to meat as possible. One year, a holiday guest swore the protein we served was beef. Why argue with a happy houseguest?
Real life: See the above argument I had with my mother over the turkey this year. Thanksgiving is all about the harvest and in-season foods. There is not a more-perfect holiday to emphasize eating locally. So there may or may not have been a loud voice (OK, my loud voice) arguing that I could do whatever I wanted with my money and my Thanksgiving turkey. I haven’t even brought up the swap of green beans or squash for peas yet…
They say: Turn off the lights yourself, and don’t complain. Rather than harass guests who leave lights on, make frequent rounds of the house and turn them off yourself. It’s a lot easier this way, trust me.
Real life: It seems I operate better on passive aggressive guilt-ing of my guests. When a family member would leave the kitchen light on and walk away, I’d look pointedly at them and clear my throat. If I came downstairs and 900 lights were on in the middle of the day, I’d announce it as I turned them off: “What the heck are all these lights doing on? It’s 11 a.m.!” It is a miracle my family still loves me.
They say: A little education is OK. While I don’t make a habit of green proselytizing, I do look for opportunities to give simple tips. When a guest asks about plastic wrap, I direct them to the glass storage containers. When they need to do laundry, we pull out the cool new recyclable 4X.
Real life: We’ll see how I do with this next week — I am looking forward to showing my family Central Market and telling them about all the yummy in-season foods. And hopefully they can see why it’s important to me.
The article was a great moment for me to step back and think about how I can combine my green (and often frugal) habits with being a welcoming and gracious host. A lot of people think “green living” is synonymous with “suffering” or “sacrifice” or “expensive.” And you can argue that — I used less energy, but I was certainly not comfortable or warm last winter. I can eat locally, but I’m sacrificing the sweet taste of peaches year-round. I can buy a local turkey, but it’s more expensive per pound than a Butterball.
On the other hand, my frigid apartment was more for my budget’s sake than the environment. You can certainly use less energy and still keep your home at a comfortable 68 degrees. And those January peaches from California taste terrible anyway, not to mention your Butterball has plenty of hidden environmental costs.
But if my guests aren’t quite on the same page as me in the book of “green living,” I can meet them where they are — and hopefully teach them something as we visit together.

Tackling the issue of violence against women head-on, with a mixture of music, dance, spoken word and passion, V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls all around the world. This year, Busan V-Day and One Billion Rising Busan, in association with NGO We-Hope Busan, organized a collection of inspiring and creative events to raise awareness, raise money and strengthen the movement of anti-violence.
The Vagina Monologues, a collection of stories collected from real women, and performed by anyone who lives life as a woman, is one of Eve Ensler’s most inspired works. The Vagina Monologues has helped raise awareness around the world in the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sex slavery.
Busan-based volunteers have taken on the mammoth task of a month-long extravaganza of music, light and love, to fight for equal rights on a global scale. The Vagina Monologues performances will round off this year’s events on the 25th of March at Vinyl underground in Kyungsung University, and at Gorilla Brewing Co.’s brand new venue in Gwangan on the 26th. Other events in the line-up have included PVJ Arts Jam, One Billion Rising Dance performance, Exotic Beasts Art Exhibition and the Bussy Riot Rock’n’Roll night.
This will mark the 8th year since the first performance of TVM in Busan, and this year the girls will have a very special guest to kick off the Saturday performance; Pascale Sutherland, global activist and women’s rights advocate will address the audience. Co-directors Cinthia Nava and Hyung Jung Oh will lead a cast of 20 inspiring and powerful women as they re-tell stories of what it means to be a woman, exploring issues of violence, sexual slavery and oppression, as well as overcoming fears and breaking taboos. There will be tears, there will be moments of outrage, and plenty laughs.
Unlike previous years, this year’s performance will include Korean and English subtitles, as well as pieces being performed in Korean, English, Farsi and a few more surprises thrown into the mix. The cast is made up of women from all over the world, together raising their voices to spread the word of anti-violence and anti-oppression.
Get inspired, get involved, and get your butts to see the 2017 The Vagina Monologues in Busan.

Satyajeet Mara, Director of Policy at the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance has voiced his concern over new data laws that threaten to undermine privacy, civil liberty and consumer safety down under.
Writing for The Hill news website, Mr Mara highlights a continuing struggle between the Australian government against a group of tech companies and consumer rights organisations over an anti-data encryption law currently in the pipeline.
The proposed directives are being considered to enhance national security, but a clear threat to citizens’ liberties has to be considered, Mr Mara argues.
Leading software giants such as WhatsApp and Facebook will, under the new laws, have to build backdoors into products and services to allow government agencies to access user data on demand and with little or no legal oversight. It’s not yet known whether companies will even be allowed to tell their customers what’s happening, or how their data may be used.
The legislation has serious implications, as messaging services are relied upon to send financial details to pay for online transactions thanks to the robust encryption that popular platforms use to safeguard user data, fight cyber-crime and identity theft.
Reporting on The Hill website, Mr Mara says:
“Weakening encryption might assist the government in spying on suspected criminals, but it is also ripe for exploitation by those seeking sensitive information that can be harnessed from our computers servers and phones.”
“For instance, strong encryption protections, like passcodes, have caused a steep decline in phone thefts. If encryption is weakened, this could be reversed. Encrypted messages and transactions can make a literal life-or-death difference for victims of stalking or domestic violence,” he adds.
Since the introduction of the GDPR, data breach reports have increased significantly in Europe, while global corporations have been in the headlines for data leaks that have sparred with the toughest sanctions the new EU data laws can issue.
Recent hacks suffered by Facebook and Google+, to name just two, illustrate that the global community needs to take a tougher stance on data security, not build vulnerabilities into our most used and trusted social media platforms.
Mr Mara also points out that Australia’s fining of companies for potential non-compliance will come as an insufferable burden to the nation’s many start-ups, for whom financial penalties would simply be too much. In the interim, fewer innovations would be created in the crucial sector of data protection.
In defence of the bill, Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says action is needed to create quick access to user content to enable the government to combat terrorism and human trafficking.
European Data Protection Summit will take place on June 3rd in Central London and will play host to 800 DPO’s, Security Professionals and senior business decision makers looking for; information, updates, clarity, advice and solutions. For more information, visit the website.

English boys finish fourth at 2015 Baltic Amadeus TrophyOctober 26, 2015
The English U17 boys’ water polo team finished fourth at the 2015 Baltic Amadeus Trophy in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Competing up an age group against U18 teams, the English qualified second from their qualification group to earn a semi-final match against hosts Lithuania on Saturday.
The home side edged the semi-final after four fiercely fought quarters, securing a 5-3 lead at half-time before pulling clear for an 11-6 (3-1, 2-2, 4-2, 2-1) win.
England’s last game of the 2015 Baltic Amadeus Trophy was a re-match of their final group stage encounter as they took on Moldova in the bronze medal match, hoping to avenge an 8-6 defeat.
An end-to-end goal-fest ensued as both teams scored freely and while England won the second and fourth quarters, putting six goals past Moldova in the last, they fell an agonising one goal short in a 13-12 (3-1, 2-4, 4-1, 4-6) defeat.
Invicta’s Freddie Pearson finished top goalscorer for the English boys, taking his overall tally to 10 for the tournament with four in the final game, while the English major conversion rate was 89% in their last match, converting eight times from nine man-ups.

When a dryer duct has actually sags, it allows any condensation to drip in the direction of the low spot, probably developing pockets of water blocking air circulation.
Try to secure the dryer duct with straps so it is as right as possible through no massive dips.
5. Flex Vent Inside The Wall
Sometimes I check residences wbelow tright here is a flex vent inside the wall or ceiling cavity which is unpreferable.
The prevalent flex vent have to just be offered behind the dryer (from dryer to wall) and also it have the right to likewise be provided in attics.
But the vent that is inside the ceiling or wall need to only be rigid steel. Rigid steel ducting doesn’t have actually ridges that deserve to restrict air flow. The ridges on the vent will likewise capture even more lint and also sluggish dvery own air flow.

My son’s friend since kindergarten is from Sweden and a few years ago they started having playdates. When I dropped him off one day, their mom was preparing Swedish Pancakes. Intrigued, I stayed when she said we could have coffee and catch up while the kids played. I watched her prepare them and expertly swirl and flip the thin, but not quite crepe thin, pancakes. She had an actual crepe pan that I always thought of as unnecessary – until that day. Right then and there, I knew I NEEDED one!
She spread a thin layer of Lingonberry jam on the pancake, rolled them up cigar style and served them with fresh raspberries. On some, she used the Star Wars cutters I gave them for the holidays to make little cut outs. The kids gobbled them up with milk. Excellent snack!
And it’s perfect for tomorrow’s weekend breakfast! This is a very easy recipe as all you need is a blender, a crepe pan or fry pan, and a few ingredients you just probably already have – flour, milk, eggs, butter, and salt!
You’ll need the following:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Butter for frying
Lingonberry Jam, Nutella, nut butter, fruits jam, fresh fruits/berries, whipped cream, for serving
1. Place everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat a crepe pan or a fry pan over medium heat. Melt 1 teaspoon butter and pour 1/4 – 1/3 cup batter in and immediately swirl to coat pan thinly. When edges are dry and curl up slightly, run a rubber spatula around the edges and flip over. Cook for about a minute more, until bottom is golden.
3. Serve with more butter, jam, Nutella, nut butter, fruits and/or whipped cream. Whatever you want, really! I sprinkled them with some powdered sugar.
Have a great morning! Enjoy!

My girlfriend was experiencing severe palpitations. Then she was finding it hard to breathe, or it felt like it was hard to breathe. Ambulance was called, the guys were jerks and figured it was just anxiety. But when she was attached to the monitor her heart-rate was very abnormal. Her heart-rate was going from 80, to 120, to 160.
After the diagnosis of POTS, we returned to the ER a couple more times whenever she felt like she was having a hard time breathing or catching her breath. I would consider a "flare up" for her to be when it's too much to stand up. And from what I've read, that seems to be luckier than most.

Heidi Abbott has only been the Oceanside Community Arts Council president since March, but she said she has plans for the council.
Abbott said she wants to encourage more communication and collaboration with the arts council and the artists.
“I want the community to know that we want to talk, we want to hear from everybody. We want to know who they are and how we can work together and use arts and culture to make Oceanside even better than it already is,” Abbott said.
“I mean there’s so many artists, we don’t even know who they all are,” she said. “So that’s a big job of an arts council too, is to try and determine who are they all, where are they, how can we network better with them, collaborate, build strength together. So that’s going to be a big job.”
To do that, Abbott said the OCAC is working on creating its own website.
“The McMillan Arts Centre has one for everything that happens here, but the arts council didn’t have an individual website,” Abbott said, who is a web developer. “So that’s a big step in sort of raising our profile and also being able to provide some more services to artists and organizations in the community.”
Abbott said she hopes the website will help to raise the profile of the arts council. The OCAC already has an active Facebook page Oceanside Community Arts Council.
Abbott has been with the board since 2013, first as an interim board member then as the vice-president.
“It was time. I thought to step up one more level and be the president,” she said.
The OCAC is working on more structural-type projects, Abbott said, and individual board members are chairing those committees to do all the work needed to get the projects going.
“We still feel like we’re young, but we’re getting there,” she said.
Abbott said the past two months have been really good, adding that the 12-member council is a really strong group with various topics of expertise.
“Because we have such a diverse board, there usually tends to be someone on the board who will take (a project) on because of their interest or they may have some expertise,” Abbott said. “They’re asking questions I wouldn’t have thought of, so the more people that come to us asking questions or wanting to investigate ideas, the better we’ll all get at this stuff.”
But although the board members have different areas of expertise, Abbott said the group still has that shared interest of art.
“At our first meeting, we did a little exercise for people to explain what drew them to doing this kind of work and it was similar with everybody. It had some sort of personal interest in the arts as well valued how good it is for a community to have a strong creative sector.”
She added that arts and culture is an important part of the community for their identity.
“I also believe that arts and culture is really a strong driver for economic development, health and all those things. It’s a good way for me to do that because arts councils should be central to that kind of work.”
Abbott has lived in the community since 1977, so she said she has a solid knowledge of Oceanside.
“I know a lot about Oceanside community. I have a lot of pride in Oceanside and care about it, so I’m really personally driven to help it in any way I can.”
Abbott said the OCAC meetings are open to the public. The arts council meetings are normally scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. in the Members Gallery at the MAC (133 McMillan St., Parksville).
“If there’s something they want the board to consider to add to the agenda, or present something to us, they just need to tell us and we can schedule that in. Basically, I want to hear more from everybody. We’re here, now, to listen and figure out what is it we’re all going to do together.”
Abbott said she has already had people starting to approach the council with program ideas, but she’s still looking for more community input.
“We’re ready. We’re just poised for it now. We’ve got everything in place, our foundation is set and we’re just ready to go now,” Abbott said. “I’m hoping that I can be somebody that people feel comfortable with. Call me, email me or anything like that.”
To get in contact with Abbott, you can email email@example.com or call the council office at the MAC at 250-248-8185.


The financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent recession drained sales for Kentucky’s houseboat manufacturing industry, idling hundreds of workers. However, a ribbon cutting Jan. 27 near downtown Monticello, Ky., holds great promise.
It was a christening for the first prototype from the University of Kentucky’s Houseboat to Energy Efficient Residences (HBEER) initiative. HBEER is a partnership between the UK College of Design, the Center for Applied Energy Research at UK, the Kentucky Highlands Investment Corp. and the Kentucky Housing Corp.
The multiyear project was initiated in the fall of 2009 in response to the economic downturn’s impact on the houseboat manufacturing industry. More than 50 students and faculty at the UK’s School of Architecture developed models of energy-efficient, affordable housing that could be produced with houseboat manufacturing expertise.
Today, HBEER is creating green jobs and bringing back to work some of the 575 skilled workers and 1,000 related jobs that were lost in the houseboat manufacturing and marine industries due to the economy.
“The transfer of knowledge and expertise gained during the HBEER project traces the path of an arc leading directly from design research conducted at the University of Kentucky to design products meant to address important energy and economic needs of communities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond,” said UK Colege of Design Dean Michael Speaks. Among highlights of the HBEER project:
Estimated energy costs are about $1.65 per day, which is one-half to onesixth of energy bills for other housing alternatives.
More than 80 percent of the home value is derived from products made in Kentucky, creating or saving further jobs.
Stardust Cruisers went from 12 fulltime and 12 contract workers to 56 fulltime employees, including six dedicated to the HBEER project. Stardust has improved its houseboats’ energy efficiency and is now exporting new products.
A second HBEER prototype has been delivered to Whitley County and should be completed by the end of February. A next phase of the HBEER project will include a prototype for multifamily housing as well as classroom space for schools as an energy efficient and more durable alternative to portable classrooms.
Ah, lemonade – how sweet it is.

I wanted to share with you kind of a public service announcement that is in no way shape meant to say someone else can’t do a great job. But I just want you to know what to be careful for, because there’s a lot of media talking about some opportunities that are out there. And I’ve just had two clients in the last three weeks have a bad experience.
Let me just kind of jump into it, and I want to talk about how important it is to go to the source. There are some real estate agents who are also trying to do mortgages. Now, listen, I’m not saying don’t. They might be very good at it. But here’s the challenge. Where is their focus? Is it helping you get the right real estate deal?
Make sure the inspection reports in your favor. Make sure that they’re representing you the best. Are they an expert? How can you be an expert at both during the transaction? It can be really difficult. Are they giving you every mortgage option available? If you’re trusting one person to do both, you have to ask yourself the question. If they’re not doing it full time.
Should you have some concerns about the availability of what they can do? This one’s becoming more and more prevalent. There’s a few mortgage companies cross country. They’ve gone to the large insurance companies and said, Hey, mortgages aren’t that tough. You could do on offer. Mortgages will pay a little bit of money and we’ll do the rest. And they can.
But someone’s getting paid and the cost of that payments coming in your interest rate. If you want to go to your insurances, you get insurance from the insurance agent. Don’t come to the mortgage guy to get insurance. Don’t come to the mortgage girl to sell real estate. Go to insurance agent to get insurance for your home. Go to your mortgage person to get a mortgage for you.
Why are they a consultant for the mortgage? Or they help you understand all the loan options that are available? Or are they just giving you some sort of code that someone told them to sell? How are they being a financial adviser to you? A mortgage is not just a debt that you pay. It’s a vehicle to help you acquire real estate, use real estate to increase your net worth.
And so many other things. I’m not seeing any knock on these industries, but go to the source for the service that you need. Have you real citizens sell you real estate? Have your mortgage on to get your mortgage. Have your insurance agent get insurance.

Niagara Gazette — And who knows hot and fluffy, buttery, buttermilk biscuits better than Arkansan and former President Bill Clinton? Despite him not taking down Osama Bin Laden when he had the opportunity, current history hails Clinton as being one of America’s best presidents; and primarily for him balancing the budget and projecting a surplus.
The truth is that the Democrat did it WITH a Republican Congress; because our government works best with political balance — the proper mix of ingredients at the right time and temperature.
We need to make good biscuits in Western New York; and going straight across party lines is counterproductive and have yielded us what he already have.
But, before I give my picks for this election, there is one thing more that I have to say about being a young boy in the kitchen with my mom. If I ask her for something that she didn’t want to give to me and she said no, I could always go out to the garage where dad was and ask him — especially if mom and dad were mad at each other.
Politics is like that, too. And that is the only way that the two-party system works for anyone other than party people.
• CITY COURT JUDGE: Angelo Morinello — While I am opposed to any office not being contested, it would have taken an extraordinary candidate to have encouraged me change my vote for Judge Morinello. When he ran against Maria Massaro, I explained to the youthful Massaro that I would have voted for her, if not for my preference that judges have the mutual benefits that come with age. For them, the mutual benefits are a body of experience, wisdom and judicial temperament while they are on the judicial bench; and for the voting public, because judges tend to stay on the bench until mandatory retirement age, the mutual benefit of mandatory retirements for the constituents.

After a few months of the Reduslim pills course, the physique gets hold of a full-fledged transformation. But it requires patience.
Finding the legitimate solution for fat reduction today is relatively more straightforward as compared to the early years of life. The new technologies and therapies have just evolved the productivity of the health care industry. Now many of us believe that wonders can be achieved only if we are ready for it.

A significant area of the Internet of Things where we will definitely see expansion next year is smart cities, with more and more countries across the world preparing for a tech-driven future. From Pittsburgh to Singapore, Helsinki to Hong Kong, cities are making smart additions to civilian life, looking to improve on our journeys to work, our life in the home and deepen our relationship with our urban environment.
Munich/Stuttgart – IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Bosch today announced a collaboration for industrial Internet of Things (IoT), making available Bosch IoT Suite services on open standards-based IBM Bluemix and IBM Watson IoT Platform for clients to efficiently update millions of IoT devices.
Across the five main areas of IoT (wearables, home, cities, enterprise, environment) and the key verticals we cover (manufacturing, energy, oil, automotive, healthcare, government, insurance), you could...
Imagine if the vehicles of the future were friendly, and focused on you. That’s the vision behind Toyota’s Concept-i. Announced today at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the groundbreaking concept vehicle demonstrates Toyota’s view that vehicles of the future should start with the people who use them.
It’s understandable that parts of IoT will move forward at different rates. But if we assume the advances in IoT will play out as we expect across our five areas of interest (wearables, home, cities, enterprise, environment), then we could be looking at a future where we live longer, we’re fitter and healthier, there’s less pollution, we need to work less, and we’re rarely late. Or are we? To paint a picture of the future as a Logan’s Run-esque utopia (spoiler: the film doesn’t turn out well) would be disingenuous, but to envisage 50 years from now as like the Pixar film WALL-E where humans are inert and ignorant would be taking things to the other extreme too. It’s clear at least that there will be knock-on effects of an automated society that no-one can predict but let’s try some of the easier ones .

Reibach comes out of retirement with contemplative 'Ascension'
Like so many musicians before him who have announced their retirement from the music industry – Phil Collins comes immediately to mind -- or embarked on “farewell” tours that proved premature, Tribal member Jan Looking Wolf Reibach’s December 2015 retirement was short-lived.
At the time, Reibach, a four-time Native American Music Award winner and multiple nominee, performed a farewell concert at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg and announced that his 20th studio album “Tamanawas” would be his last, thereby ending a successful career as a recording artist.
However, Reibach didn’t take into account that melodies would continue to percolate inside his being, prompting him to record demos into his cell phone while driving or interrupting dinner with his wife to capture a melody that popped into his head.
“Once I completely laid it down and walked away for six to eight months – that first part of 2016 – all of a sudden all of my creativity started flowing again to a level that it had to be expressed,” Reibach says. “I started writing songs that were different than anything I had ever done.”
After a while, he and his wife, Rhonda, knew he would need to do something with them.
The result is “Ascension,” a contemplative collection of 10 tracks recently released by High Spirits Music of Patagonia, Ariz.
On the release, Native flutist Reibach is accompanied by Nathan Myers on guitar, George Bobnett on percussion and Tim Yett on flute and guitar. There are also guest appearances by Mark Babson on violin and vocals, producer Keith Sommers on guitar, percussion and keyboards, and Reibach’s brother, Harris, on flute and vocals.
The song titles accentuate the meditative nature of “Ascension,” with titles such as “Violet Chakra,” “Oneness,” “Enlightened Path,” “Circle of Awakening” and “Synergy.” The overall acoustic vibe is one of calm mindfulness that can’t help but lower the blood pressure of anyone listening.
The liner notes acknowledge the peaceful, easy feeling: “It is a tapestry of meditative, colorful sounds that travel the range of world music with wooden flutes and the accompaniment of the ‘Looking Wolf’ band. Included are masterful flute performances, a variety of world percussion, acoustic guitars and vocal chants. May the listener find comfort and stillness in the songs.”
The new compact disc – Reibach’s 21st -- was pre-released in December and will see wide distribution in late January, being sent to 700 retail outlets in 17 countries. The CD will target the yoga, meditation and ambient music market and will be submitted to satellite radio for play and the Grammy and NAMMY awards for consideration.
However, Reibach says, coming out of retirement does not mean a return to being a touring road warrior. He has sporadic concert dates scheduled for 2017 and has one more compact disc to record on his new contract with High Spirits.
He also continues to work for the Grand Ronde Tribe as the Lands Department manager and is enjoying spending quality time with his wife.
“I don’t play that many concerts,” he says. “I try to stay local because of my job. I can’t travel as much as I used to. … I’ve pretty much taken myself off that market. This isn’t a touring album. This is definitely an album to be played for ambient radio, definitely a project for easy listening. Some of the music on the album would be hard to duplicate in a live environment. It is very difficult because you have to have a very quiet venue. It’s very delicate.”
Things have changed, personally and professionally, for Reibach, who has moved to Dallas, seen his son move out and attend college, and he is exercising more and watching his diet.
“Part of the reason why I left the whole scene is that concerts would drain me. When I would get done performing, I would just be exhausted and I would have to consume lots of food and get a really good night’s sleep to make up for exerting all of that energy,” Reibach says. “What’s changed is this album a big part of it, but it’s not all of it. … I’m looking for venues if they really have great sound and it’s for a good cause and you have a quiet environment so I can play this meditative music because when I perform this stuff it’s very therapeutic. When I’m done, I’m energized. I feel like I’ve taken a nap. It’s a different kind of intensity, an intensity that rejuvenates my soul.”
One important lesson Reibach has learned, however, is that retirement for creative people and particularly musicians is probably never in the cards.
“There will be no retirement,” he says. “I now understand artists as they get older who just keep playing even though they are 70. It’s their love of music and now I get that. At some level, I will be creating, performing or recording music in some way. … I did retire from something. I retired from an idea that I am a professional musician and I retired into being an artist. It’s totally different.”
