Christmas has come early for the resource nationalists, as the Kazakbashi, the Turkmenbashi, and the Rusbashi have announced the signing of a critical agreement to build a natural gas pipeline along the Caspian coast, ending months of flirtation with a competing proposal backed by Western nations to build an undersea pipeline bypassing Russia. Following a conference call between Vladimir Putin, the Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the unpronounceable Turkmen President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov, the trilateral agreement was signed begin the massive project, first proposed last May to export 20 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Central and Western Europe – an amount that could cover the demands of a country as large as France. Like many recent energy deals masterminded by the Kremlin, this pipeline victory carries enormous geopolitical significance and was years in the making.
Russian and Western competition for energy supply and influence in Central Asia goes back many many years, but the “Great Game-esque” struggles have only recently intensified as the Kremlin’s political influence over Gazprom deepens during the Putin era.The Pipeline CurtainIt’s a well established fact that Moscow’s strategy in Central Asia is to block all southern pipeline export routes and integrate supplies into the Russian network to the north.Russia first approached Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to build the Caspian coast line as a strategy to block the Trans-Caspian alternative promoted by the European Union and the United States, which would connect Kazakh and Turkmen resources to the pipeline at Baku, Azerbaijan, eventually flowing through Erzurum, with the potential to fill the West’s ultimate fantasy project, the Nabucco pipeline. The idea behind the project was that both Europe’s energy security and competition could be greatly enhanced by have an alternative supplier from the East, ending the monopoly control by the Kremlin, which will now retain the power to cut off the taps at a moment’s notice and “renegotiate” long term contracts at will.
Although the project seemed dormant for months, Nabucco, and the salvation of European energy supply (of Europe itself?), was briefly given a boost at the end of last summer, as the European Commission found renewed interested in its political promotion, and Hungarian PM Ferenc Gyurcsany changed his tune and started pretending he was interested in it. For a brief period, it seemed that transit states were turned off by Russian bullying and warming up to American approaches. Europe seemed to be waking up.In an important November 2007 paper, researcher Niklas Norling remarked upon the life or death importance of an alternative supply route, and predicted that both the Trans-Caspian and the Nabucco would stand together or die together: “Nabucco could potentially be the glue that keeps both Europe’s common energy policy and Europe’s engagement with the states around the Caspian Sea together. If supplied with Azeri and Turkmen gas Nabucco would significantly improve Europe’s energy diversification. It would also promote additional outlets for Turkmen gas while guaranteeing Azerbaijan a long-term income. More importantly, it would indicate a long-term commitment from the European side which would compel the Central Asian and Caucasian states to pursue a more balanced and independent policy. In effect, no longer would they be little more than appendages to Russia, but rather independent and sovereign states.“The death of the Nabucco has been proclaimed repeatedly, as funding as dried up while the Europeans have failed to respond to Gazprom’s impressive outflanking and diplomatic wrangling in the region. The Caspian was not the only theatre of this energy war, as the Russians were dramatically successful in bludgeoning the project from several other points, by kicking off a divide-and-conquer approach to Austria’s OMV and Hungary’s MOL, tightening relations with the Greeks and Bulgarians, and prompting the Italian firm Eni (which is believed to be following Russia’s instructions very carefully since acquiring expropriated Yukos assets) to sign on for the South Stream pipeline project across the Black Sea. Gazprom has allegedly even gone so far as to leak false stories to the media about non-existent agreements to put pressure on partners and scare the money away from Nabucco. Now that the pipe, which was set to begin in Turkey, will only have Azeri gas, its failure is practically assured.Today’s news is overwhelming evidence of the success of Russia’s strategy to build a “pipeline curtain” to firmly separate Europe from direct access to Central Asian and South Caspian energy supplies. Whenever an alternative project is proposed, the Russians counter with a parallel pipeline with more attractive incentives for the decision makers in critical transit and exporting countries (I imagine that only a fraction of these incentives are made public).Shrewd Bargaining and Powerful IncentivesAlthough today’s news makes it look like the United States and the European Union have lost both Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to Russian and Chinese spheres of influence for the foreseeable future, there are indications that the writing was on the wall. With regard to the Trans-Caspian proposal, we noted on this blog many months ago that any undersea route could be vetoed by either Russia or Iran, making the project essentially frivolous from inception. Then there was the discouraging circling of the wagons during the Caspian Summit in Tehran in October, when Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad signed bilateral energy agreements and all members gave a strong warning that any attempt invade Iran would be vigorously resisted (As we’ve noted in the past, Russia benefits enormously from increased geopolitical tension over Iran, as one of the critical faults of the Nabucco is the investors unwillingness to help pay for Iran’s natural gas development).But just because Russia had this game locked away for many months, don’t think they didn’t have to pay heavily for it. Moscow got a pretty raw deal, and discovered exactly how clever the new Turkmenbashi is, who skillfully played up the possibility of going with the alternative export routes in order to give Gazprom a taste of its own medicine: a 30% increase in price, breaking a contract which had fixed Turkmen gas at $100 per thousand cubic metres until 2009. (Read the research at Global Witness for more information on the lack of transparency in the Turkmen gas trade).Some analysts are not surprised that Gazprom won again, but rather that it took them so long. Peter Kaderjak, director of the Regional Center for Energy policy and Research in Budapest, told the IHT: “Russia has always been trying to block Nabucco. But what is interesting about this deal is that it took so long, and it needed Putin to push it through. It just shows how much Russia needs extra gas supplies, and it is willing to pay for it.” Due to a critical lack of investment under state management, Gazprom’s Siberian fields have been plummeting in production, and Russia is in danger of being unable to fulfill its supply commitments domestically or export commitments to Europe.Although paying top dollar certainly helps, Russia was also able to win in Central Asia by offering superior incentives of international legitimacy that Europe and the United States should have been better prepared for. It is practically amusing the timing with which Vladimir Putin publicly celebrated Nursultan Nazarbayev’s approval to chair the OSCE: “The results of the recent OSCE session in Madrid vividly demonstrated how efficient coordinated actions of two states can be. … Kazakhstan with support of its allies managed to get the approval for OSCE chairmanship without any conditions.” Organizations like Human Rights Watch and Freedom House clamored in outrage against this OSCE chairmanship selection, which probably did the American pipeline alternative no favors.Turkmenistan likely also prefers Russia’s blind eye to human rights abuses, which certainly did not happen in the State Department’s 2006 review of the country, which states “Human rights problems included: citizens’ inability to change their government; torture and mistreatment of detainees; incommunicado and prolonged detention; abuse of religious minority group members; arbitrary arrest and detention, including family members of accused criminals; house arrest; denial of due process and a fair trial; arbitrary interference with privacy, home, and correspondence; restrictions on freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association; restrictions on religious freedom; a government-maintained blacklist of individuals not permitted to travel abroad; violence against women; and restrictions on free association of workers. “Be this as it may, it looks like Berdymukhamedov eventually swayed toward the Kremlin simply over money – the strongest personal efforts U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman were not sufficient to charm him.There was never a lack of foresight with the Central Asian energy crisis, and the potential threat of Russia’s ambitions there were always very clear. What is particularly surprising is the lack of focus, energy, and resources put forward by the EU and the United States to achieve a better balance of influence. There has also been a distinct lack of innovation in policy approaches to help solve this problem, while the Russians have appeared enormously resourceful. It is indeed a tragically advantageous symmetry among three gas exporting nations tightly controlled by three autocratic despots. As one journalist remarked, “Moscow is also offering guarantees of support to the Central Asian potentates if a Ukrainian-style domestic uprising should take place, leading to a change in government, something the United States and Europe cannot do.“There is no greater reminder that the energy sector should not and must not be owned and managed by the very same individuals holding direct political power.

Across key locations, they have widened the gap in price premiums over ready units
Dubai: For the yield chasing wealthy investor Dubai’s hotel serviced apartments are still the place to be in. In recent months, the premium that a serviced apartment can command over a standard ready unit in key locations has widened, and in some cases quite significantly so.
In Dubai Marina and the Downtown, the premium is at the 50 per cent mark now, while those serviced apartments at the Palm fetch 38 per cent more than others in the neighbourhood, according to data from the consultancy GCP-Reidin.
These price differentials are also showing up in the off-plan launches. “This year has already witnessed several launches in the serviced unit space, with the Address Harbor Point having the highest launch price of Dh2,300-Dh2,400 per square foot,” said Sameer Lakhani, Managing Director at Global Capital Partners. “But there have been multiple launches at even higher price points earlier, at the launch of Dukes Oceana, the Palm Tower, The One, and Opera Grand.”
So far this year, the other pricey serviced apartment launches have been the Vida Zabeel (Dh2,000 a square foot) and Vida Residence Dubai Mall (at Dh2,250). And for comparison’s sake, the highest price point for a standard unit this year has been the Dh1,800-Dh2,000 a square foot for the Downtown Views 2.
For buyers of serviced units, the pay-offs turn out to be handsome. “Clearly, when it comes to some of the more marquee names — such as the Address and Vida brands — there is a premium for units offered into the “hotel pool”,” said Lakhani. “Where this is not possible, there are a number of investors willing to place it on short-term leases themselves.
“This has been more difficult in recent times, given the recent sluggishness in the tourism market. But it remains a trend that will build sufficient momentum, especially as Expo 2020 arrives.
“Over the longer run, we could see that serviced apartments will have superior growth rates to their standard counterparts, and that’s what makes them attractive for those sort of investors.
“The market is already seeing a surge of transactions in the off-plan space for serviced apartments. In 2016, serviced units accounted for 9 per cent of all off-plan apartments sales, whereas in 2017 that has more than doubled (22 per cent), highlighting the latent demand for this kind of product.”
A case in point has been the demand generated by The Alef Residences project located on the West Crescent of The Palm. In the two months since their release, sales have touched Dh110 million, according to the developer, Al Sharq Investment. And one four-bedroom apartment sold within few minutes of the viewing, the developer said.
The Alef units — totalling 104 units across two buildings — will be serviced by The W Dubai — The Palm, located adjacent to it. The project is due for completion next year, and the apartments range between 5,000-15,000 square feet.
A “combination of elements creates a unique living experience that we can proudly say is contributing to the demand for these properties,” said Grant Ruddiman, Chief Hospitality Officer at Al Sharq Investment in a statement.

Archives of the Air
Page Count: 68
Publication Date: Friday, March 13, 2015
Cover Artwork: “An Intimate Gathering,” fiber art by Karin Franzen. Commissioned by Bill Stringer in memory of his wife, Sandra.
About this Book
As caribou encounter the oil pipeline on Alaska’s North Slope and cranes navigate their way through the towering mountains of the Alaska Range, Archives of the Air brings the reader into contact with the strange and fascinating world of the far north. A day-long canoe trip on an Alaskan river, and poems from Morgan’s residency in Denali National Park, combine with explorations of history, art, and family in this wide-ranging collection by one of Alaska’s most celebrated poets. Archives of the Air is John Morgan’s sixth book of poetry.
John Morgan studied with Robert Lowell at Harvard, where he won the Hatch Prize for Lyric Poetry. At the Iowa Writers Workshop, he earned an MFA and was awarded the Academy of American Poets Prize. In 1976, Morgan moved with his family to Alaska, where for many years he directed the Creative Writing Program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The American Poetry Review, The New Republic, The Paris Review, and many other magazines. In 2009, he served as the first writer-in-residence at Denali National Park. Annie Dillard writes that Morgan’s poems “are strong and full of carefully controlled feeling. They are tender and precise evocations of the moral and sensory life of man.”

Ten below and ice-mist on the river
when “Oh,” she says, “a butterfly!” as it
comes wobbling from the sun-room, settles
on the floor. We offer sugar water
in a spoon and watch its sucking tube unroll.
It sips, then flutters to the windowsill
and folds its scalloped wings against the chill.
By noon, bright sun, and full of spunk it beats
against the glass, in love with light. The ground
outside, a spanking white, looks welcoming.
Its wings, like paisley, red and brown, quiver
as it paws the pane, embodiment of
summer in late fall, cold-blooded thing,
whose hopes will never be this young again.
Followed a fox toward Polychrome Pass.
with black along its lean rib-cage,
it rubs its muzzle on a former meal,
impatient poet on its tail.
Then nearing the overlook, sun shearing
through low clouds
transmutes the view to glitter. Everything’s
golden, scintillant. I feel like a seedpod wafted
into space and
check my shaky hands on the steering wheel.
As the road crests over its top, boundaries
dissolve. Beside that
sheer intractable edge, I greet my radiant center,
discharge all my terms. How easy it seems
to channel between
worlds, my old self dying into a new,
with nothing firm to hold me here
but love. And that’s
what nature has it in its power to do.
PSALM (AFTER NIETZSCHE)
That day is coming soon when our people,
all the cousins, pets, children
will begin to disperse like the insects
of summer after the petals fall.
And where do they go, those bees,
those dragonflies? Into the soil
where they break into pieces, a wing,
an antenna, a thorax, absently dreaming
of spring, as the long cold settles over
them, their buzzing and sipping forgotten.
And a great age passes like those
lumbering eras we learned of
in grade school, or the unbelievable time
it takes to make a star and its planets and
evolve a living world—all gone to ground,
and trillions of years slip by in silence
under the earth, but then one day, one
millennium, a gentle humming and something
oozing, gripping, reaching, this relentless longing
toward light—urgent, fantastic. It could happen.

The Most Famous Actor Born the Same Year as You
He's how old? He's my age? It can come as a surprise to discover celebrities who were born the same year as you. Famous people notoriously look younger than their actual ages due to their with vast resources for diet, fitness, plastic surgery and whatever secrets people like Nicole Kidman and Paul Rudd utilize to look forever young.
Actors and actresses, in particular, can seem ageless. Classic movies and television shows transcend time and have the uncanny ability to transport viewers through a variety of eras, cultural moments, and styles. In those movies and shows, we can visit the stars in their heydays and never witness them growing old.
It's also intriguing to discover actors who are exactly your age—and grew up in the same era as you did. They could have liked the same music, learned the same school lessons, and worn the same fashions.
Have you ever wondered what actors share your birth year? To find out, Stacker organized a list of celebrities' ages by looking at the top 10 actors for each year using IMDb's STARmeter and combined that with the most monthly Wikipedia page views for January through December 2020. This gallery begins with 1918, when William Holden of The Wild Bunch came into the world, and concludes with 2006 and Jacob Tremblay of Room and Before I Wake fame.
Hard as it may be to believe, Home Alone child actor Macaulay Culkin is now 40. Al Pacino is 80, Harrison Ford is 78 and Richard Gere is 71. The late Marlon Brando was born 97 years ago. Young actors like Noah Jupe and Xolo Mariduena hold out the promise of many more fine performances to come in the decades ahead.

IRON MAIDEN have announced a headlining European tour!
Scheduled for June and July next year, the tour will see NWOBHM legends touring across mainland Europe and the UK. The tour, titled The Future Past Tourwill see the band performing excerpts from their latest studio album, senjutsualongside a focus on the 1986 classic somewhere in timeas well as other classic cuts.
Tickets for the tour will be available from Friday, October 14 at 9:00 a.m. and can be purchased here.
Speaking of the tour, bassist Steve Harris said, “Following the release of our latest album, senjutsuwe updated the current Legacy of the Beast Tour a bit by opening the show with the first three songs of it, with the Japanese Palace staging. Since it doesn’t make much sense to repeat this for a senjutsu album tour, we thought of other options and decided to revisit somewhere in time as this tour was not on the various historical retrospective tours we have played over the years. They were based on our 80’s concert videos and unfortunately we didn’t film this tour (blame the manager!!). We’ve had many fan requests over the years for many tracks, so we’ll be playing them, plus of course a few more that we know you’ll like! It will also be particularly satisfying to finally be able to play some of the most epic tracks of senjutsu, the wait was long! 2023 is going to be an exciting time and we really can’t wait to see everyone back in the UK, Ireland and across Europe.
Administrator, Rod Little wood adds, “This combination of the two albums sounds very exciting to us. We know fans want to hear those epic cuts on senjutsu for the first time live and we think that combining it with an iconic album like somewhere in time this will make another really special tour for fans old and new! Of course, for a new album tour in Europe and the UK, we will largely return to the relative privacy of the arenas and we know the fans will be very happy about that too!”
The tour dates are as follows:
JUNE 13 TAURON ARENA, KRAKOW POLAND
JUNE 19 HALTENSTADION, ZURICH SWITZERLAND
24 JUNE 3 ARENA, DUBLIN IRELAND
JUNE 26 OVO HYDRO, GLASGOW SCOTLAND

"Effects of supplementation with green tea catechins on plasma C-reactive protein concentrations: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials". Nutrition (Systematic review & meta-analysis). 31 (9): 1061–71. doi:10.1016/j.nut.2015.02.004. PMID 26233863.
Although numerous claims have been made for the health benefits of green tea, human clinical research has not provided conclusive evidence of any effects. In 2011, a panel of scientists published a report on the claims for health effects at the request of the European Commission: in general they found that the claims made for green tea were not supported by sufficient scientific evidence. Although green tea may enhance mental alertness due to its caffeine content, there is only weak, inconclusive evidence that regular consumption of green tea affects the risk of cancer or cardiovascular diseases, and there is no evidence that it benefits weight loss.
One of the key components in Matcha is the amino acid L-theanine, which is found almost exclusively in shade-grown green teas like Matcha. When L-theanine is combined with the natural caffeine in tea, it metabolizes more slowly, releasing the caffeine over a longer period of time and providing a stable three to six hour long energy boost (versus coffee caffeine at an hour to an hour and a half).
The leaves are used to make a herbal tea that is called by the names: rooibos, bush tea (especially in Southern Africa), or redbush tea (predominantly in Great Britain). The tea has been popular in Southern Africa for generations, but is now consumed in many countries worldwide. It is sometimes spelled rooibosch in accordance with the original Dutch. The tea has a taste and color somewhat similar to hibiscus tea, or an earthy flavor like yerba mate.

A must-try for anyone in search of cleansing, our get clean® - No. 7 Herb Tea for Detoxing has earned rave reviews from Citizens – its all-natural ingredients stimulate the liver and help eliminate toxins.
Another big draw health benefit-wise is that matcha, like green tea, is loaded with antioxidants. A study, published in 2014, found the plant also had antimicrobial properties, particularly the four types of catechins (antioxidant properties flavonoids) it contains, against a few different types of microorganisms. Yet another study, published in Nature, proved that catechins inhibit the growth of a bacteria called Fusobacterium nucleatum — the bacteria that causes cavities and periodontal disease.
Research shows that people who regularly drink green tea do not fall victim to common bacterial and viral infections as easily as those who do not add it to their diet. It boosts the immune system. The catechins, present in green tea, prevent bacteria and viruses from attaching themselves to cell walls in order to infect them. These catechins also counter the toxins released by microbes. This antimicrobial property also protects you from bad breath, dysentery, diarrhea, tooth decay, indigestion, flu, cough and cold, and colitis, all of which are caused by the microbial and fungal action.
Tea culture of Korea was actively suppressed by the Japanese during the Japanese forced occupation period (1910‒1945), and the subsequent Korean War (1950‒1953) made it even harder for the Korean tea tradition to survive. The restoration of the Korean way of tea began in the 1970s, around Dasolsa. Commercial production of green tea in South Korea only began in the 1970s,. By 2012 the industry was producing 20% as much tea as Taiwan and 3.5% as much as Japan. Green tea is not as popular as coffee or other types of Korean teas in modern South Korea. The annual consumption per capita of green tea in South Korea in 2016 was 0.16 kg (0.35 lb), compared to 3.9 kg (8.6 lb) coffee. Recently however, as the coffee market reached saturation point, South Korean tea production doubled during 2010‒2014, as did tea imports during 2009-2015, despite very high tariff rate (513.6% for green tea, compared to 40% for black tea, 8% for processed/roasted coffee, and 2% for raw coffee beans).

One of the most popular assistive devices to boost mobility and improve quality of life for those who have trouble walking is the wheelchair (e.g. a person with spinal cord injuries resulting in quadriplegia or paraplegia, muscular dystrophy,etc).A lightweight wheelchair can just make those daily chores and responsibilities that little bit simpler if you are finding moving around more and more difficult but do not feel you need to commit to using a chair full time or perhaps are searching for a stylish and portable chair for particular occasions. Two main types of portable power wheelchairs are available. The first kind is essentially an electric wheelchair that can be folded up into one compact unit, but the second kind is a transportable power chair that can be disassembled into four or five smaller, lighter sections.

Chennai, the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, presents an outstanding blend of traditionalism and modernity. It is regarded as the cultural hub of South India and the Detroit of India, both. Ancient temples, long traditions of music, arts and dance, and age-old customs make it the foremost place in South India to understand the regional culture. Modernity, on the other hand, is reflected in its being a major IT hub in the country and the choicest city for the automakers to build their main manufacturing units. The tall skyscrapers and contemporary buildings will convince you of the same. The fourth most populous metropolitan area in India, Chennai is only the third, after Mumbai and Delhi, in the number of expatriates in the country. Definitely the most sought-after city in South India, it has been ranked as the only city in South Asia to go around the world by a leading international journal.
There are plenty of interactive map sites available online - including Google Map, Yahoo Map, Bing Map, Microsoft MapPoint, Mapquest, and many more. They are mainly used as directions tools, for road mapping and route planner. Type in an address or zip code and you will be able to find its exact location, including nearby buildings, parks, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels and information about how to get there. But there are many other possible applications that website owners can make use of interactive maps for their particular industries and markets. There are many interactive mapping software which can help you to take advantage of geographic-related data, and to effectively visualize territory and business information by creating your own custom interactive maps.
More and more people are beginning to use GPS mapping as the primary way they plan, map, and track their trips for both business and for pleasure. With GPS maps, you can route trips to any destination, whether you are driving in your car with a vehicle GPS navigation system installed or hiking or biking through the wilderness with a handheld GPS mapping device. The GPS unit will connect with numerous satellites, receiving data and information about its location. The GPS tracking software will then use GPS mapping technology to create a GPS map that you can view and interact with. You can then plan routes and organize trips on your GPS receiver, as well as several other useful features. The various abilities and functions of the GPS database system is a primary factor of the cost of a GPS device.
The GPS Database Most of the more costly GPS units come with an integrated GPS database program. The GPS database contains permanent waypoints that help the system recognize your location and guide your travels. A GPS system used during flights, for example, would usually have a GPS database with various airports and other navigational tools that aid in tracking their position. With these waypoints already programmed into the database, you can simply choose your destination and map your route without additional typing or searching. Most GPS mapping devices include a basic GPS database with cities and towns, major streets, and some side roads. Some GPS units have an empty database that the user must create. Global positioning systems first came into use during the 1960s and there are currently at least 24 GPS satellites in orbit. These advancements in GPS technology led to GPS mapping, making it easy to map practically any location. GIC GPS mapping software allows instant access to images of practically any location. Sometimes the resolution and clarity of the satellite image is so good, you can see cars and trees in the image.
For instance, you can have the map of India, map of Delhi, map of Haryana, or the map of Gurgaon. Maps of cities show the roads, rails and other urban transport routes, landmarks like rivers, lakes, historic monuments, important institutions, bazaars, etc. For instance, in the Map of Gurgaon you can find roads like NH 8, Basai Road, Railway Road, Sohna Road, Mahrauli Road, Old Delhi Road, etc. You can find localities like DLF Phase I, II, III and IV, Sushant Lok, Wazirabad, Islampur, Patel Nagar, Udyog vihar, Palam Vihar, Palam Vihar, Jhasra, HSEB Colony, etc. You can easily locate in the Gurgaon map the various institutions, establishments and landmarks such as: Apra Motels, Bristol Hotel, Fortune Hotel, Claremont Hotel, Park Plaza, etc. Tourists and visitors to the city find it convenient to locate the various places in the city with the help of the map of Gurgaon.

GM, Ventec Life Systems and StopTheSpread.org, a coordinated private-sector response to COVID-19, are collaborating so that Ventec can increase its production of respiratory care products as hospitals across the U.S. face a potential ventilator shortage.
|GM||GENERAL MOTORS CO.||41.58||+0.17||+0.42%|
"We are working closely with Ventec to rapidly scale up production of their critically important respiratory products to support our country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. "We will continue to explore ways to help in this time of crisis."
Ventec, based in Seattle, has been fielding requests from more than 65 countries, U.S. states and local authorities, and a number of high net worth individuals who have been calling for the medical devices that can save patients with COVID-19.
The med-tech company went from fielding hundreds of orders to thousands during the past few weeks as the coronavirus spread through the globe. Its production will increase from 150 ventilators a month to close to 1,000, Brooks said.
"This partnership will help save lives," Ventec CEO Chris Kiple said in a statement. "GM is enabling us to get more ventilators to more hospitals much faster.
Ventec Chief Strategy Officer Chris Brooks told FOX Business on Wednesday that "a lot of folks" are worried that "their hospital won't have a ventilator for their loved ones."
Ventilators, which pump oxygen into the lungs of patients who are unable to breathe on their own, can cost from $25,000 to more than $50,000 each. The machines are crucial to prevent respiratory failure, which has been a common cause of death among patients with COVID-19.
"We are grateful for the partnership between GM and Ventec Life Systems, which will enable Ventec to drastically scale production of critically needed respiratory care products," StopTheSpread.org said in a statement. "We know the strength of this effort relies on urgent coordination between the public and private sectors in order to get through this crisis."

You can return your tiles within 30 days from the purchase date. Please keep in mind that colors will vary from batch to batch and it is advised to order full amounts per project basis. Made to order items and hand painted A La Maison Ceilings tiles can’t be returned.
There is a difference in shade from batch to batch and we do not guarantee that the colors will match. We strongly recommend ordering the entire quantity with overages in one order. If you are trying to match an old order, please send images before placing an order.
I got a set of tiles for free for my honest review. They are thin plastic, which I was not expecting. I thought they would be more heavy duty. Half of them came bent on the edges so I'm not sure how I am going to be able to fix that and make them bend back and adhere to the wall. If I had bought them, they would be returned. I do like the snowflake pattern; it looks a bit cheap close up, but on my high ceilings they will look pretty. And I really liked that it came with two tubes of adhesive so I know exactly what I need to make them stick for good and not come crashing down on someone's head one day.
These tiles are absolutely gorgeous. They have turned my boring dining room into a very elegant area. I am amazed at how easy this was to install. The adhesive glue sets quickly and not messy at all. I now have a great looking ceiling that I love showing off. I highly recommend this product.
These are absolutely beautiful looking I got the snowflake design.I’m waiting for the spring to do my bathroom ceiling and they seem very sturdy,durable and beautiful..I can’t wait!! Will update with pictures when project is finished.
I love those tiles , they look perfect fancy and size is awesome . We used few to cover small size office floor, but it’s so shiny and full of great details and crafted up with interesting snowflake shape. I would use this tile for all of my house ceilings , that’s how much I like it .
When my ceiling tiles arrived I was speechless. They are absolutely perfect and the color is beautiful. They are in fact feather light, PVC material. It is lightweight and easy to work with. Once it was put up it was simply beautiful. It was very easy to install. The only way to know that it is plastic is to touch it. I'm pleased with the look! Made the bathroom look so new!

Genuine Roman Silver Coin Pendant depicting Emperor Hadrian
• Handmade 100% Made in Italy
• Genuine Roman Silver Coin 2nd cent. BC
• Bezel material: Sterling Silver 925
Unit price /
Couldn't load pickup availability
An authentic silver Roman coin dating back to the 2nd century AD has been set in this sterling silver pendant, which depicts Emperor Hadrian; on the back we can see the personification of Justice.
Hadrian is remembered for his travels, his building projects, and his efforts to tie together the far-flung outposts of the Roman empire. He was aesthetic and educated and left behind several poems. Signs of his reign remain in several buildings, including the Temple of Rome and Venus, and he rebuilt the Pantheon, which had been destroyed by fire during the reign of his predecessor.
His country residence, Villa Adriana, outside Rome is considered the architectural epitome of the opulence and elegance of the Roman world. Covering seven square miles, it was more a garden city than a villa, including baths, libraries, sculpture gardens, theaters, alfresco dining halls, pavilions, and private suites, portions of which survived to modern times. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. Hadrian's tomb, now called the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, became a burial place for succeeding emperors and was converted into a fortress in the 5th century.
All of our jewels are certified by a certificate of authenticity attesting their Greek or Roman origin!
Step into the world of Serra Roma Jewelry Store and experience a fascinating blend of beauty and history. Our jewelry features authentic Roman coins and stones, seamlessly incorporated into contemporary or Roman-style settings that are entirely Made in Italy.

Ballooning over Suffolk
The balloon basket rose smoothly, rapidly, through the early-evening summer air over Bury St Edmunds, I shouted over to pilot Ben Pettitt, “So where do we go?” He answered with great freedom of spirit, “ Where the wind takes us .” But then I got the twinkle in his eye: this freedom was part of the spirit of ballooning. Not that there was much time to fuss about such matters, certainly for Ben, as he handled the burners and we all watched our loved ones disappear into dots on the ground below.
It had taken us a while to get to this point – I mean actually getting up in a balloon at all – the reason being
Still third time lucky and finally we got the green light and headed to the Nowton Park launch site near Bury on a Saturday, parking next to a children’s playground, to Pippa’s great delight. Where was the balloon? We just walked up past some tennis courts and there was the team with balloon already laid out on
Ben told me later he’d been into ballooning from the age of 19 when he went on his first flight. It all seems as free as the air but obviously, there are rigid Civil Aviation Authority regulations regarding getting your pilot licence, especially for commercial flights. But by 2002 Ben was up and running, first taking a Wizard Balloons franchise in Cambridge, then buying out his licensee in Suffolk. Now he flies from Bury, The Oaksmere on the Norfolk/Suffolk border near Diss and two sites in Cambridgeshire with, ideally, about ten flights a month, for six months of the year. In reality, Ben manages about 50 flights a year.
On arrival Ben, who is an experienced pilot gave us safety instructions, how to get into the basket and how to brace for landing. The order to get in the basket following ‘cold air inflation’ then hot filling was quite sudden and exciting: we all clambered in and were off.
“Flying in the Fens is pretty challenging,” said Ben. “Especially before harvest time – nowhere to land!” The occasion for this comment was Ben had descended right until we skimmed a field of wheat which was an amazing sensation. I’d thought that was it: landing time but then just as one of my fellow passengers only half-joked, “Won’t the farmer get a bit irate?” we ascended with a blast from the burners and were once again flying over farms, livery smallholdings and horses and village scenes. Going down and close like that, flying over the harvest then rising was unforgettable – my best part of the flight.
Visibility was good, and we could see the Norfolk, and to the south, Suffolk coastlines clearly defined on the horizon. Sizewell power station, for example, the docks of Felixstowe and Harwich in the distance. Turning round through 180 degrees, there was Ely cathedral – the Isle of Ely just a bump on the horizon.
By now we were flying at 1,000 feet in our basket – a reassuringly sturdy and old-fashioned wicker affair – which with the balloon and burners weighs 568 kilos. Fully loaded the basket and all of us weighs 1.5 tons.
Finally, after several ground miles covered and an hour in the air, that all-important landing – we had a ‘false start’, to slightly mix metaphors, and had to rise up again as we were too close to a line of trees, heading for a patch of rough ground on a farm where, amazingly, Ben had landed three years previously.
And it was a very gentle bump, landing at just 2mph.
As we came to rest there was a peaceful period as we waited for the ground crew to arrive in the Land Rover. (We had seen them earlier winding through country lanes down below but they were clearly talking with the farmer for a period!) But although peaceful it was also busy as we all helped out with deflating the balloon then folding it and eventually stowing it on the trailer. In this regard ballooning is a team sport and there is good camaraderie.
Finally, a balloon flight really is a special thing to do. Our basket contained three or four couples and it was also clearly a romantic event – a really good time to pause and enjoy that anniversary or similar moment. Certainly, it’s a perfect excursion, exciting, yes, but also very peaceful. Hard to put into words, in fact: just try it!

A long-awaited report on law enforcement response to the 2012 school massacre in Newtown, CT, concludes state police handled the response effectively, but it recommends improvements to protecting crime scene integrity, dealing with victims' families and other issues, reports the Associated Press. A 2013 report on the response by Newtown police said that department responded rapidly and followed policy.
After the massacre, police officials not involved in the investigation and "dignitaries" were allowed into the building and potentially contaminated the crime scene by stepping on bullet casings and glass shards that had yet to be processed as evidence, according to the report state police released Friday on their response to the mass shooting.
Gunman Adam Lanza killed his mother at their Newtown home before shooting his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, and killing 20 first-graders, six educators and himself. Investigators never found a clear motive but said Lanza suffered mental health problems and was obsessed with mass shootings.
"The unprecedented nature of this incident posed numerous challenges," the state police report says. "The unique dynamics of this tragedy tasked the agency's resources and tested the capacity and capabilities of individuals and units alike. ... Had it not been for the heroic actions of the teachers, school staff and the response force, the number of victims could have been higher."

Wellington’s new council – what does it mean for housing and planning?
With a new Wellington city council now in place, it’s time to examine the views of our new councillors on urban form, housing and a liveable city.
During the election, the excellent website Policy.nz asked candidates around the country to submit their policies and priorities under a range of headings, including ‘housing and planning’. Using this, LIVE WELLington has extracted the policies of our new Wellington City councillors. This summary table is available here, and our analysis follows.
10 reasons to support character
So much has changed since the Wellington City Council voted in June 2021 to strip demolition protection from more than two-thirds of the city's character areas.
LIVE WELLington argues it's time for a re-think, and to strike a better balance. We provided this letter to Wellington councillors, in the lead up to the notification of the proposed District Plan on 23 June 2022.

Ramsey County History – Winter 2012: “How Nettie Snyder Put the City on the Musical Map”
How Nettie Snyder Put the City on the Musical Map
Author: Roger Bergerson
When Enrico Caruso and the stars of the New York Metropolitan Opera Company took the stage at the brand-new St. Paul Auditorium in the spring of 1907, the arias soared and so did civic pride. “The great building was filled for every performance and the audiences made a brave display in the way of costumes and jewels,” the St. Paul Dispatch enthused. “The assemblages were representative of the whole Northwest-representative of its riches and of its culture.” This gala event and more like it were the work of Mrs. Fred H. (“Nettie”) Snyder, a dynamo who had studied voice in Italy, and when her career as a soloist ended, turned instead to organizing and promoting opera in St. Paul. After her first husband died, Nettie married Fred Snyder in 1889 and gave voice lessons while Fred operated the Frederic Hotel, beginning in 1904. Her work as an opera impresario peaked in 1912. Thereafter, she continued to stage events in St. Paul, but they were less frequent and she spent much of her time in New York City. A divorce from Fred in the early 1920s allowed her to live for a time in Italy and then in California, where she died in 1929.

Illustrated Guide to Cocktails
Publish it yourself.
That’s what Washington, D.C., illustrator Elizabeth Graeber and Washington City Paper writer Orr Shtuhl have done with their quirky and wonderful “Illustrated Guide to Cocktails.”
What fun Graeber must have had illustrating cocktails like Blood & Sand or White Russian.
But it's not all pictures. The book revels in the stories behind each cocktail: "Strong, sweet, and bitter -- a good cocktail has the intrigue of an alluring drama, the joy of a salty-sweet dessert, and the sin of a vice,” writes Shtuhl. “From the raucous innkeepers of the 18th century to the gangster bootleggers of Prohibition, liquor has always had a dark side, and cocktails are the keepers of its lore. Some creation legends include tales of the New York gangster and poker hustler Jack Rose, the famous matador film Blood and Sand, and a club dancer named Margarita Carmen that eventually became the pin-up actress known as Rita Hayworth."
Buy it on Etsy for $25. It’s a slender 38 pages (with recipes), but think of it this way: that’s two cocktails at most bars.
Check out Graeber’s website, www.elizabethgraeber.com, for prints and drawings for sale, including a set of pen and ink drawings of the Beatles.

Classic Tracks (1993)
|I despise this album in every respect. The master tapes of the back tracks were taken to America and appalling vocals put on them without my approval. The final result was also then sold without my approval and without my receiving a penny. The master tapes were never even returned to me. the album is a disgrace.
|If you buy it, don't expect me ever to autograph it.
|Little Known Trivia
|When I contacted the original company in America who had illegally purchased it I was threatened with not just violence but that I would "mysteriously disappear" if I interfered any more and I was never to expect one penny or my masters back.
addendum……Even though this album keeps appearing on different labels PLEASE don't buy it I beg of you!!!!!
Topper Fralick on 22nd February 2002 [Other reviews]
This album should be on everyones want list! Instead of just rehashing songs for another compilation, Rick has rearranged and expanded the tracks to give them new life! 'Journey To The Center Of The Earth' is performed without narration and orchestration, giving space for inspired performance from Rick and the band. 'Catherine Howard' has been extended, allowing some interesting changes from the original version. 'Merlin The Magician' is fun! The new vocal and band arrangement really is ,well, magical! The sound of the recording is excellent as well. Bravo!!
Addendum: My review of this album from 02/22/2002 was written before I ever read Rick's Perspective! Had I known the history and Rick's feelings, I would have never written a review. Even though I still enjoy listening to Rick's playing on the album, I will no longer recommend anyone buying Classic Tracks.
Tim Boudewijn van der Wart on 26th October 2001 [Other reviews]
This CD is stunning!! Merlin is finally finished - a tremendous vocal version!! This Merlin truly recaptures the thrill the original version gave me when I first heard it! The journey is also excellent, the vocals are perfect and there are beautiful guitar contributions, it is not bad at all that there isn't any choir or orchestra! Catherine Howard is good too. This cd is certainly a must buy for all the fans, but try to find the one with the cover shown on this site, I have the ugly one from prestige records, which looks like it has been designed with some miserable paintbrush (the music is the same of course).
Reniet Ramirez on 12th April 2000 [Other reviews]
It is what I call a PERFECT album. The way it was recorded, mixed, etc, is just perfect. Musically is an incredible work from every single instrument. This version of "Journey..." is so wild, powerfull & beautiful that can be considered as another ORIGINAL song, instead of just "another version".
Christian Loebenstein on 10th January 2000 [Other reviews]
This Album is a collaboration between Mr. Wakeman and four American musicians and features re-arranged and re-recorded classic Wakeman Tracks, hence the title. Yet, more than six years after buying it, I still think a better title would have been "Classic Tracks Revisited", just to avoid any thought of being 'another compilation'. 'Journey', complete without narration is definitely the highlight. Instrumentation and playing on this piece (and on the whole Album) are both highly professional. Of course critics were moaning about the album's musical style when it came out, but nevertheless (and in my opinion) it stands out as a prime example how Classic- or Progressive Rock, however you might call it, should be handled nowadays.
Greg Kimbrell on 13th February 1999 [Other reviews]
Though not a "must" by any means, Classic Tracks has some interesting moments. Track one is an entire performance of "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" without the narrator; however, some of its parts are slowed down a bit too much. It features a traditional rock band and choir as accompaniment, but the mediocre vocalist reminds me of the one from Live at Hammersmith. Look out for the last track; it is a terrifying vocal version of "Merlin."

High Island is known worldwide for the migration spectacle that occurs here each spring. Astonishing numbers of songbirds, hummingbirds, and other Neotropical migrants stop after crossing the Gulf and refuel at Houston Audubon’s four sanctuaries, delighting visiting birders every day.
At Claybottom Pond within Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary, you’ll find another birding treasure that is not to be missed: a rookery in which thousands of birds — Roseate Spoonbills, Great and Snowy Egrets, Tricolored Herons, and other waterbirds — nest each spring. An island in the pond is free of predators, providing an ideal spot to raise chicks.
A mile-long walking trail atop a 10-foot levee surrounds the pond. On the west side, four beautiful decks, three of which are covered, offer views from within 60 feet of nest building, the birds’ continuous comings and goings, and disputes over nest occupancy. The decks are ideal for taking photos. And the site is not just a spring destination. The birds that nest on the island also use it as a night roost during the rest of the year. Visit in the last hour before dark to watch them return to the island. — John Phillips, Jr.

SHERMAN, TX -- Austin College students were shocked to see FBI agents on campus Friday.
In a statement, Vice President of Student Affairs Tim Millerick said, "early this morning the FBI informed us that a current student may have information that will help them in a broader investigation." He says the campus is safe and there are no "devices" on school grounds that would be destructive or harmful.
Raz Fyfe says the FBI was at his dorm, Baker Hall, Friday morning.
He says agents asked him some questions, but Fyfe did not elaborate.
"At the end of my interview I was assured that there's nothing, you know, not a big deal and that I could go back to my room and that I'd be fine. So it was certainly safe the whole time," Fyfe said.
School officials add that, "the College is in no way implicated or involved in the situation."

A YOUNG VENETIAN OF THE SOCIETY DE LA CALZA.
by Henry Hinton.
The Society of La Calza. Compagnia della Calza.
The Society of La Calza was an association of young Venetian noblemen and a few strangers of high rank, who, with the sanction of the magistrates, bound themselves by the ties of procal friendship, and had for their object the pursuit of honorable pleasures.
They gave, at their own expense, public fetes, accompanied with theatrical representations. They met together to discourse music, to hold gondola races, to celebrate masquerades, and for every kind of innocent amusement. In order to recognize each other in the public fetes, they wore the right stocking ornamented with various colors, and even with embroideries of gold, of silver, or of pearls.
The young man of this Society whom our plate represents is drawn and colored after a picture of Vittore Carpaccio (1465-1525/26), preserved in the Academy of Fine Arts at Venice. The bonnet is of violet velvet, enriched with golden embroideries and ornaments; the jacket is of green velvet, with a narrow red border below; the doublet is black, and permits the shirt to be seen; the left stocking is adorned with white and black stripes; the right stocking is scarlet, ornamented with two palm branches, and with an embroidery of pearls upon the thigh; the gloves are yellow.

The Society De la Calza
The society De la Calza (of the stocking) was formed in Venice in the year 1400 to the honor of inauguration of the doge Michele Steno (around 1331-1413). The employments of the members were conversation and festivity; and so splendid were the entertainments of music and dancing, that the gay spirits of other parts of Italy anxiously solicited the honor of seats in the society.
All their statutes regarded only the ceremonies of the ball or the theatre; and the members being resolved on their rigorous performance, took an oath in a church to that tendency. They had banners and a seal like an authorized order of knighthood. Their dress was as splendid and elegant as Venetian luxury a taste could fashion it; and consistent with the singular Italian custom of marking their academies and other intellectual associations by some external signs of folly, the members when they met in literary discussion were distinguished by the colors of their stocking.
The colors were sometimes fantastically blended; and at other times one color, particularly the blue prevailed. The society De la Calza lasted till the year 1590 when the foppery of Italian literature took some other symbol. The rejected title then crossed the Alps and found a congenial soil in the flippancy and literary triflings of Parisian society, and particularly branded female pedantry, as the strongest feature in the character of French pretension.
It diverged from France to England and for a while marked the vanity of the small advances in literature of the female coteries; but the propriety of its application is now gradually ceasing; for we see in every circle that attainments in literature can be accomplished with no loss of womanly modesty.
It is in this country, above all others that knowledge asserts her right of general dominion, or contends, that, if she be the sustaining energy of one sex, she forms the lighter charm the graceful drapery of the other.

COMPAGNIA DELLA CALZA.
The life and works of Vittorio Carpaccio.
This Company was originally an association of gentlemen, banded together with the object of organizing festivities of all kinds. Membership was not restricted to Venetians, for foreigners were also admitted, and even ladies, who were styled “companions” (compagne), and wore the badge of the “Company” upon their sleeve. The Company was later on sub-divided into groups each under its own head and distinguished by some particular name, such as Immortali, Semprevivi, Perpetui, Eterni Pavoni, Ortolani, Giardinieri, Felici, etc.
In Carpaccio’s paintings the Companions of the Calza the arbiters of Venetian fashion, wore doublets of gold-embroidered velvet and silk, drawn into the figure by a girdle. Their sleeves were slashed and fastened with points to show the full shirt underneath. The upper part of their close-fitting hose was striped in many colors, and their shoes were pierced in quaint devices.
The Companions of the Calza wore besides over their shoulders a short cloak and a hood of cloth of gold or damask, embroidered on the back with the particular emblem of their Company. These badges were usually richly worked in pearls, as we may notice in this third scene upon the person of the Ambassador.
Likewise in the first scene, The English Ambassadors before King Maurus, we may observe near the King’s throne a cavalier wearing a badge upon his sleeve, of which emblem we give here a separate illustration.
- What does this ornament signify?
- To which of the Calza Companies does it belong?
It represents an interlaced hurdle of osiers. Now the science of Heraldry and a comparison with other symbolical pictures show us that these hurdles signify a “garden.” Thus in Giovanni Boccatis’ picture at Perugia of Christ in the Garden of Olives the garden is represented by a thick hurdle of osiers; and a similar hurdle with the same signification recurs in a miniature quoted by Silvestre, and preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, wherein S. Catherine of Siena receives the Stigmata in a garden.
But this is not all. In the library at Bergamo, in a book of patterns for embroideries dating from the end of the fourteenth century, is to be found among other designs a swan in a garden; and the garden consists of a species of crate or basket of osiers.
A similar hedge also indicates a garden, with a white stag in the middle, in the escutcheon of King Richard II. of England, sculptured upon the tomb of Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk. This tomb in Carpaccio’s time stood in the forecourt of S. Mark’s. It was removed to England, and in a very ruinous state is now in the possession of the Duke’s descendants.
The emblem however in Carpaccio’s painting exhibits greater similarity with the “canting” (parlante) coat-of-arms belonging to the Veronese family of Orti. We may conclude therefore that the badge worked upon the Cavalier’s sleeve was that of the Company of the Ortolani. This theory finds confirmation in the analogy of this costume with the description in a document of Cicogna’s in the Museo Civico, whence we learn that the Company of the Ortolani did not, like the other Companies, wear parti-colored hose, but carried their badge embroidered upon one of their sleeves.
These badges had great importance in the History of Costume, especially in mediaeval times. For jousts and tournaments cavaliers vied with one another in the invention of the most beautiful or original emblems. They sought advice from the men most learn cd and competent in the matter, and an entire literature on thc subject came into being, lasting to the end of the eighteenth century.
It will suffice to record among the most important works Torquato Tasso’s Dialogue of Devices (Dialogo delle imprese). Monsignor Giulio Giovio, Bishop of Nocera, in his Dialogue on Military Devices (Dialogo delle imprese militari) devised as an emblem for a Genoese patrician, Girolamo Andorno, Jove’s Thunder-bolt copied from an antique medallion, with the motto: “He will expiate or overwhelm” (Expiabit aut obruet). This badge, much lauded by Andrea Navagero, was designed and colored by Titian, and magnificently embroidered by the able Venetian, Agnolo di Madonna.

Breathing is more than a physical act. Breathing is a process that awakens us to the present moment – and a single deep breath can change the texture of your day.
Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh describes breathing as a bridge that connects the body and the soul. When we inhale, we become aware of our true spirituality – to be conscious of breath is to be conscious of existence. When we inhale, we return to our physical selves, remembering the need to nurture our bodies and minds.
Deep breathing can be a challenge whenever we feel rushed or stressed. Yet the potential for tranquility rests within every deep breath you take. Start slow, and think of each breath as a tiny meditation. After a short while, you may begin to see this practice for what it really is – the chance for you to connect with something greater than the outside world. The chance to connect with what lies within.
One deep breath is all it takes to find peace within. One SMILE is all it takes to share this peace with others..

Incinerators won't be a waste of time
How to get rid of waste is an issue that sadly receives little attention from our government. In the face of a growing population but limited land, a solution is needed now.
There are questions over whether it is better to bury the waste underground or use incinerators. The government is in favour of using landfills because it is cheaper.
Yet despite the benefits of operating landfills, the downsides are worth thinking about. The foul smell coming from landfills is one of the bad things about them.
Landfills also pollute the soil, and the chemicals in the waste can be harmful to health. I believe landfills are no longer a good option and the government should look at a bolder - but controversial - solution: building incinerators.
Former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa proposed this in 1999, but did not go further. Over the years, Shek Kwu Chau and Tuen Mun have been identified as good places to build incineration plants, which burn trash into ash and gas.
People are naturally worried that incinerator gases will contribute to global warming, but new technology has made the process clean and harmless.
Incinerators can even make electricity. In Macau and Germany, waste-burning plants can give enough power for 33,000 families.
In the end, building incinerators should be a priority or else Hong Kong will soon drown in garbage.

Teens should learn to spend wisely
Teenagers don't know how to manage their money. I think it's disturbing that they will buy things without thinking if they have enough to pay for the items.
Some of them spend 'future money', like buying things with credit cards.
They don't understand that they are piling up debt and that they have to pay for it someday.
Then teenagers get upset when they don't have enough money to repay the debt and ask their parents or teachers to help them.
Smart spending is common sense, so teens shouldn't blame their parents for not teaching them how to manage their money. Organisations that give teens loans should also know better.
Spending only what you can afford is something that every person should know. Debt has serious effects and reckless teens should be ready to face the punishment.

Good deed by helper made my day
Nowadays in Hong Kong, there are many helpers who come from the Philippines or Indonesia. Usually their employers don't treat them nicely.
But even if these foreign workers don't get treated the way they should, they are still nice to other people - even Hongkongers who are not their bosses.
I was on my way home one day and a helper said something to me. At first, I didn't know what she said because her Cantonese was not good. She said it again slowly so that I could understand. And finally I got her message: I had dropped my wallet on the street.
This surprising good deed taught me to always be kind to others because they will be kind to you.
Lindy Pang In-yin, STFA Tam Pak Yu College
Stress can cause sleepless nights
I am writing to talk about a problem for many Hongkongers: insomnia, which is when a person finds it hard to fall asleep.
While it is common among older people, teenagers can get insomnia, too. I can think of many reasons why teens can't sleep.
They have a lot more homework nowadays, along with extra-curricular and other activities. The pressure to do better than other students also causes them to worry so much that they lose sleep.
Also, some teens have 'monster parents' who force them to learn as much as possible at a very young age. Children might be scared that they cannot meet the high standards of their parents and teachers. As a result, they study until midnight, and miss out on much-needed sleep.
I think we should start asking more questions on why more young people have insomnia. The government, for example, should look at ways to make living in the city less stressful.
