A river otter swims in the Salem Civic Center pond on De. 26, 2021 (David Craig video still)
David Craig has occasionally spotted river otters in Mill Creek.
But the Salem biologist had a first on Sunday when he and his wife saw the native mammal munching away on a largescale sucker fish in the pond at Salem Civic Center.
Craig, a professor of biology at Willamette University, recorded several videos of the otter swimming, frolicking and enjoying its meal while observing it for about 45 minutes Sunday morning.
He pointed the animal out to other passersby and then posted video on his Facebook page, where is garnered dozens of likes and comments.

“It’s nice to share those things. Knowing the possibility that it could happen, that other people could see it I think it adds a little bit to the hope and magic,” Craig said.
Otters are fairly common on the main branch of the Willamette River, but sometimes venture upstream.
Craig said because of his work, friends and people around town often contact him with their own animal sightings.
In the past decade, he’s seen otters in Mill Creek once and received three other reports, typically when lamprey are spawning and make for a tasty meal.
He suspects the weather may have driven the animal to look for food elsewhere.
“I’m guessing that it was not coincidental that it was snowing and the otter was there,” Craig said.

River otters are abundant in the Pacific Northwest and aren’t considered threatened or endangered, but Craig said they’ve still been impacted by fur-trapping, pollution and habitat destruction.
Craig said he frequents the pond and has observed herons fishing and commonly sees invasive nutria.
The otter’s fish, he said, was the largest he’s seen in several years.
“That was pretty amazing to see how big its fish was,” he said.
“Anytime we get a predator like that that’s clearly having a good meal then I would see it as a sign of a healthy ecosystem.”
While otters can easily eat a variety of introduced fish, Craig said there’s a special significance to seeing a native predator munching on a native fish - a relationship that’s existed since “time immemorial.”
“It’s always a joyful moment of old healthy systems that have been part of the Willamette Valley still persisting and thriving,” he said.

"At least 250" to be prosecuted after police swoop
BELGRADE -- The Security Service Coordination Bureau held a meeting to analyze results of Friday’s operation against drug dealers, code-named Operation Thunderbolt.
Serbia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić, who heads the bureau, announced this late the same day.
He said that prosecutors estimate, based on the evidence produced by the police, that at least 250 people will be prosecuted.
“This is fascinating good news for the citizens of Serbia,” Vučić was quoted as saying.
He added that the police found a total of 250 persons in possession of drugs or weapons and that the evidence will be used to launch court procedures against these individuals.
“We literally found arsenals of weapons, not to mention drugs,” said Vučić.

Whales in Banderas BayFebruary 10, 2021
Traveling is about experiences, discoveries, and connections. Traveling can enhance our views while enriching our lives. Now, more than ever, we are searching for closeness to our natural surroundings, and to immerse ourselves in new cultures. Furthermore, an exclusive and sophisticated environment is an ideal complement to this experience.
The Bay of Banderas is a large bay along the coast of the Riviera Nayarit. You will find this place of limitless luxury and lasting inspiration to be the best location for your upcoming memorable travel adventure.
The coast with the most.
Bahía de Banderas in Spanish translates to Bay of Banderas or Bay of Flags in English. According to the legend, this bay got its name from some of the first Spanish Conquistadors, who traveled to this area. The story said that Spaniards found the natives carrying colorful plumage flags. The natives, aiming to defend their land from intruders, fought the Spanish men. Sadly, they lost and came under the control of the King of Spain in 1525. Because of this display of colorful flags, the Spanish named this bay Bahia de Banderas or Bay of Flags.
The Banderas Bay has 62 miles of Pacific coastline, stretching from Punta de Mita in the north to Cabo Corrientes in the south. The deepest point of the bay is on the southern end, where the water measures 3,000 feet deep. UNESCO officially declared Banderas Bay to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
Unspoiled. Undiscovered. Unmistakably Mexico.
The tropical landscape of Banderas Bay enclosed by splendid mountains has a wide variety of impressive adventures that you can enjoy. You will find many small charming coastal fishing towns to visit with your loved ones, as well as a variety of fun family-friendly watersports like snorkeling, diving, and surfing. You can also board a luxury yacht to explore the many wonders of the bay by sea.
Additionally, Banderas Bay is the proud home of very rich biodiversity. In its deep blue waters, you can find diverse marine fauna like humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, eagle manta rays, black-tipped sharks, giant corals, and rock formations filled with life. Another unique experience in Banderas Bay is whale watching.
The authentic Mexico you’ve never seen.
Whale watching in the breathtaking Banderas Bay should rank at the very top of your bucket list, it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience. Whales are such glorious creatures that display grace, agility, and strength. It is impossible not to feel moved by the majestic cleverness of nature.
Every winter, the magnificent Humpback whales arrive in Banderas Bay with the purpose of mating and giving birth. It is a moving and emotionally charged encounter when up close. Observing the enormous whales jumping happily in and out of the water is priceless.
The humpback whales are in the Banderas Bay from December to March. However, on some lucky occasions, you may be able to spot them as early as November or even as late as May. Their stay varies depending on factors such as the length of their journey from the Arctic, the temperature of the water, and their matting patterns.
These beautiful creatures can be found in every ocean in the world, and they can grow up to 16 feet long. Humpback whales possess light color bellies, dark backs, pleats on their throats, and a small hump on their dorsal fin, hence the name “humpback”.
These intelligent creatures can communicate with each other, using a complexity of cries, howls, moans, and other noises. Their magical songs can go for an incredible amount of time and can be heard throughout long distances. Scientists have not yet figured out what kind of messages they transmit to one another.
Humpback whales reside along the northern coastlines, where they feed on plankton, small fish, and tiny shrimp-like krill. During the winter months, they venture on their annual journey, from the poles towards the Equator, seeking warmer waters. Mothers travel close to their offspring, often displaying what the researchers believe to be “signs of affection”. They have been observed to lovingly touch each other with their flippers while swimming.
Limitless luxury. Lasting inspiration.
While you are immersed in the unique and touching experience of observing the natural wonder of the Humpback whales in Banderas Bay, let Conrad Punta de Mita take care of your every need. With our traditional touches and modern comforts, your stay in the Banderas Bay area will be unforgettable. Inside our sophisticated, exclusive, and serene atmosphere, you will find the ideal space to connect with your partner, your family, or your friends.
On the beach. Away from it all. You will discover inspiration, surrounded by the wonders of nature. At Conrad Punta de Mita, you can indulge all your senses with well-appointed amenities and tailored services. Embark on a mindful journey into Mexican luxury.

Animal Crackers arrived on Netflix earlier this year. It was a family-friendly animated movie that seemingly did quite well for the streaming service. For most people, it was a nice way to entertain the kids for a couple of hours. For director Scott Christian Sava, it was the end of a perilous journey that lasted more than six years. The movie was tangled in lawsuits and had a rough road to release. But now that it's out in the world, Sava isn't wasting any time. Case in point, he's got Animal Crackers 2 ready to go, among other things.
Scott Christian Sava wrote the graphic novel that went on to inspire his animated flick. During a recent interview, the filmmaker was asked about the prospect of a sequel. Sava revealed that he not only has a sequel ready, but he's got several more books and animated shorts on-deck as well. Here's what he had to say about it.
"I know Animal Crackers is one of 15 books I've written, I've got scripts ready. I've got even animated shorts ready. I've even got Sequel for Animal Crackers, ready to go. I'm prepared. I keep looking at my phone going, 'Is it working? Is there something wrong?'"
The first movie earned solid reviews from critics and audiences, in addition to landing in Netflix's top ten when it debuted last month. Given that the company has deep pockets, one might expect Animal Crackers 2 to be a no-brainer. Scott Christian Sava, speaking further, explained that he is eager to give this another shot, provided the chance.
"The crazy thing is, you know, it took us six years of production to get here. And the film is at the top of the charts it's doing really well. And all my family and friends are calling me saying, 'Did you hear from Netflix yet?' I haven't heard anything. I don't know if it's a hit. The craziest thing is, I want another crack at this. I really loved making the movie and all the hardships that you went through, I wanna do it again. From everything I've learned, I want to apply what I've learned to it, but Hollywood is a fickle place."
Centering on a family who must use a magical box of Animal Crackers to save a run-down circus from being taken over by their evil uncle Horatio P. Huntington, Animal Crackers originally debuted at the Annecy festival in 2017 before falling into a hellscape of distribution problems. Tony Bancroft co-directed the movie, which raised $13 million from Chinese investors to be produced independently. Things got increasingly complicated as they had to raise more money after going over budget.
A series of lawsuits, rights claims and failed distribution deals followed. Ultimately, Netflix stepped in to save the day. The movie features an A-list voice cast that includes John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Ian McKellan, Danny DeVito and Wallace Shawn. Whether or not they will return for the proposed sequel remains to be seen. The ball is in Netflix's court, it would seem. This news comes to us via Comicbook.com.

Is this the endgame for the medical malpractice crisis?
A recent cover story in the New York Times describes how some financially struggling hospitals are “going bare,” meaning they are partially or completely forgoing malpractice coverage.
From an economic standpoint, it’s a rational thing to do. Malpractice insurance costs are skyrocketing, forcing these hospitals into uncomfortable choices.
As one administrator bluntly puts it, “If I have to pay for nurses versus fund for malpractice, what are the hospitals going to do?”
But without insurance, malpractice verdicts directly impact patient care. Consider that happened to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, in Bushwick, NY:
A jury awarded a $31.6 million judgment against the hospital in 2006, which was later reduced to $12.9 million and is being paid out in installments through 2018. As a result of that case, Mr. Hernandez said, the hospital closed its obstetric unit because it could not afford the liability. The hospital was also not delivering enough babies to justify the expense, he said.
Plaintiffs are affected as well, since they are forced to accept what’s little is left, or risk closing the hospital:
The lawyers said they were often forced to take payment on installment, or to try to pin more blame on physicians, who may have their own insurance. Martin Seinfeld, a malpractice lawyer, said he had had three cases this year involving Jamaica Hospital and New York Hospital Queens in which hospital lawyers had held out the specter of bankruptcy if he did not reduce his demands.
Doctors, who may have their own individual policies, now become malpractice targets.
This scorched-earth scenario is the endgame of the malpractice crisis.
Who’s to blame? Well, politically speaking, everyone.
Conservatives have failed to become flexible in their tort reform solutions, focusing only on a cap on non-economic damages. That’s proven to be politically unfeasible, and is unfair to patients. They should re-frame the malpractice reform debate that focuses on injured patients instead, like in my home state of New Hampshire which recently passed first in the country malpractice reform.
Progressives on the other hand, are beholden to the interests of trial lawyers, and often dismiss the impact of malpractice on health care providers. Tort reform is routinely ignored in their health reform proposals, with the most recent example being its glaring omission from the Affordable Care Act.
So, it’s no surprise that the current malpractice trajectory leads us to what’s happening in New York. Other litigious counties are seeing similar situations, as hospitals and doctors find that risking bankruptcy as a more viable situation than carrying malpractice insurance.
And in the end, it’s the patients — particularly the poor population that these hospitals serve — that lose the most.

The Andrus Center is a champion of public education. It is our goal to ensure our children can compete in an increasingly global economy. This will be done through providing early learning opportunities so all children entering kindergarten are ready for success, attracting and retaining qualified teachers by offering a competitive pay scale and rewarding experience, and by supporting post-secondary programs and public/private partnerships that foster a prepared workforce.
Previously scheduled in April of 2020, this conference will now be hosted May 9, 2023.
Eight years ago, the Andrus Center’s Finding Common Ground conference focused on Idaho’s need for early education building blocks that communities could use to customize programs to their individual needs. Eight years later, we want to continue the conversation, spotlighting innovative solutions being implemented throughout our state and ensuring all Idaho children can access the tools they need to enter school ready to learn.
2015 – Early Learning in Idaho: Finding Common Ground
Boise State University’s Andrus Center and the University of Idaho’s McClure Center co-hosted a nonpartisan dialogue on learning opportunities for Idaho’s young children on May 4, 2015. The two organizations joined together to identify an Idaho approach to increase the share of children who enter kindergarten prepared for success in school and later life. Over 200 legislators, educators, business people, and parents attended the one-day symposium.

Veteran pitcher Pedro Martinez sat out for the entire 2010 season because of a lack of personal motivation and an eventual lack of interest from big league teams. He’s hoping things are different in 2011.
Martinez trained Thursday with the Licey Tigers of the Dominican Winter League and told Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes that he is considering a return to the majors next season.
The left-hander, recently turned 39, posted a nice-looking 3.63 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over nine starts in 2009 while fanning 37 batters and walking only eight in 44.2 innings of work. He averaged 88.5 MPH with his fastball, according to FanGraphs, and paired that with a 77.1 MPH changeup.
It’s doubtful that a major league team will be open to offering him a rotation spot, no matter how well he performs in throwing sessions this winter, but Pedro still has the goods to be a capable long reliever. And every club is looking for well-shaven bullpen help. Zing!

If you can wade through an 18-paragraph HD-DVD ad, the first details of the external HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360 have been revealed on Xbox.com. Essentially, all that's been confirmed so far is that the add-on will connect via the USB port, "enabling it to harness the power of the Xbox 360 console for the HD video outputs and digital surround sound." The Xbox 360's HD output is currently component-video only, which isn't very kosher by many of the movie studios supporting HD-DVD, though some have softened their stance. Does Microsoft know something we don't? Of course, a few sentences later, it states, "It's also just one of several new accessories being announced at E3." An HDMI cable is an accessory...
Another interesting tidbit of info came in a comparison between Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The page states, "When comparing the two formats, there is no difference in the video support, with both offering 720p, 1080i, and 1080p HD resolutions." The current crop of HD-DVD players top out at 1080i. Similarly, the 360's games cannot produce 1080p either. Will the first 1080p-producing HD-DVD player be tethered to a video game console, or is this just a slip of the keyboard?
Microsoft will hopefully fill in the HD-DVD blanks as well as reveal the "several new accessories"--we had only the aforementioned adapter and a Webcam on our scorecard--at its press conference on Tuesday afternoon. We'll be there!

Progress report for WSP19-017
The SARE PDP in Washington is designed to help Extension, Conservation Districts, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and other agricultural professionals increase their ability to respond to the needs of farmers, ranchers, and the public regarding sustainable agriculture concepts and systems.
In Washington State, SARE PDP is part of WSU’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources (CSANR). The goal of our professional development program is to help WSU Extension, CDs, NRCS, and other agency personnel to gain knowledge and skills that will help them serve their constituents in these areas to promote the health of Washington’s people, land, and communities. This is accomplished through mini-grants to attend conferences and workshops; mini-grants to host professional development events; regional and statewide educational events; and the development of webinars and other emerging educational and communication tools.
- Facilitate knowledge gain for 100 agricultural professionals by providing mini-grants for attending and hosting professional development events. Topics will vary but will include priority areas described above and other sustainable agriculture areas of need. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis and events will be completed before the end of the grant period.
- Facilitate knowledge gain for 100 agricultural professionals by providing funding to coordinate larger educational events. Events will be completed before the end of the grant period.
- Facilitate knowledge gain for 50 agricultural professionals by providing sustainable agriculture presentations via webinar and other emerging technologies. Presentations will be online before the end of the grant period.
This proposal was focused primarily on in person training activities, both via mini-grants (attending and hosting) and facilitated educational trainings. This project was in it's final phase with a handful of mini-grants planned for spring / summer 2020, all of which were impacted by COVID-19 shutdowns. We have re-tooled the project (along with a no-cost extension request) to pivoted toward using the funds to support planning for the SoilCon: Washington Soil Health Week which is a large virtual training event, and are shifting the funding for the final WSP19 mini-grant trainings to a future annual project.
Education & Outreach Initiatives
To train ag professionals in Washington State and the broader PNW on the latest research-based information related to managing soil health in the region.
This week long virtual event will cover all aspects of soil health in Washington State and beyond, February 8-12, 2021. It has 30 speakers broken down into all cropping systems and topics. The event was shifted to virtual after COVID-19 limitations closed the door on an in person event during winter 2021. Because we were not allowed to continue in person trainings for PDP, we shifted funding from selected in person trainings to SoilCon for this winter and will fund those trainings from future WSARE PDP projects.
SoilCon happens in 2 weeks.
Educational & Outreach Activities
COVID-19 required us to pivot our plan for completion of the PDP19 project. We had to shift to on-line events, and thus transitioned our plan to supporting SoilCon: Washington Soil Health Week. The event occurs the second week of February, so we don't have outcomes to report yet.

Samsung has launched the all-new Samsung Galaxy M51. It has been launched only in Germany for EUR 360.
Samsung M51 is supposed to be launch in India in the 2nd week of September so we should see Samsung Galaxy M51 in Nepal soon as well.
Samsung M51 is the latest entry to Samsung’s M-series and it comes with a humongous 7000 mAh battery and Snapdragon 730 chipset.
Samsung M51 looks like a top-notch mid-range phone on paper. Let’s see what else we get with it.
Samsung M51 Specifications
- Display: 6.7 inches Super AMOLED, 1080 x 2340 Resolution, 19.5:9 Aspect Ratio, 403 ppi, Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Chipset: Qualcomm SDM730 Snapdragon 730 (8 nm)
- CPU: Octa-core (2×2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver)
- GPU: Adreno 618
- Memory: 128GB 6GB RAM
- OS: Android 10, One UI 2.0
- Rear Camera: 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.72″, 0.8µm, PDAF
- Front Camera: 32 MP, f/2.0, 26mm (wide), 1/2.8″, 0.8µm
- Battery: Non-removable Li-Po 7000 mAh battery, Fast charging 25W
- USB: 2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, USB On-The-Go
- Misc: Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass
- Colors: Ocean Blue, Space Black, Red
Samsung M51 Price in Nepal: Rs. 49,999 (Expected)
Samsung Galaxy M51 Overview
Build & Design
Samsung Galaxy M51 retains the design language of M31. It has the same design from the back with the change in fingerprint sensor placement. It’s now side-mounted instead of rear-mounted. It has a similar plastic back and plastic frame with a glossy finish.
M51 is rocking a 6.7-inch Infinity-O display with Super AMOLED Plus technology. The display size is the same as that of A71, so it could be the same panel as well.
It’s an FHD Super AMOLED panel with a screen resolution of 1080 X 2340. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 as well.
Samsung has been using Exynos chipsets on it’s M-series phones but the M51 uses Snapdragon 730 chipset. It’s the same chipset used on the Samsung Galaxy A71.
Snapdragon 730 has an Octa-core (2×2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver) CPU and Adreno 618 GPU. It will be able to run high-end games at high settings. This is definitely a much-needed change that I would love to see more of in the future.
Along with this, it comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
Samsung Galaxy M51 has a quad-camera setup with a 64MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra wide-angle sensor, a 5MP macro sensor, and a 5MP depth sensor. Whereas, it comes with a 32MP sensor on the front.
Here, the main 64MP sensor is Sony’s IMX 682 sensor. It’s the same sensor used on the Samsung M31s. It can capture videos up to 4K 30fps from the rear camera and up to 1080p 30fps from the front.
Samsung M51 has a humongous 7000 mAh battery along with a 25W fast charging. This battery could practically last for 2 days under general usage.
Samsung has been providing huge batteries on its M series phones and M51 takes it a notch higher.
Furthermore, it runs on One UI 2.0 on top of Android 10.
Samsung M51 Price in Nepal and Availability
Samsung M51 has only been launched in some parts of Europe for 360 euros. It is rumored to launch in India in the 2nd week of September with an expected price of INR 30,000. Given, Samsung Nepal’s previous track record, the Samsung M51 price in Nepal could be around Rs. 49,000.
Samsung M51 looks really impressive on paper. Samsung has finally ditched its Exynos 9611 and has equipped the M51 with Snapdragon 730.
Samsung has also outdone itself in the battery department with the 7000 mAh battery. It has a good camera sensor as well and looks pretty solid overall.

When deploying a technology platform for any GRC process, many questions are considered during the procurement process.
“How long will this take to get up and running?”
“Is it customizable?”
“Is this software affordable – and what if we choose to expand the scope of our deployment?”
Within the scope of GRC, policyIQ can be used to implement nearly any type of risk assessment – and can be done quickly (with custom tailored content), all at an affordable price. It’s a system that grows as you grow. But as you likely know, risk assessments are an area that has a seemingly infinite number of options on how to get from A to Z. Fraud Risk? Financial Risk? Third Party Risk? And the various methodologies to achieve each can be staggering.
Can I implement my own methodology, or am I forced to use the software’s built-in items?
You’d be surprised to find that for many software platforms, the response to this doesn’t always yield positive answers. One of the benefits of utilizing policyIQ is that the keys are in your hand for making this decision. We have clients from all corners of the globe that choose to use their own methodologies when leveraging our software – and are able to do so with excellent results. Likewise, many organizations have sought subject matter expertise, looking for a proven methodology and guidance to help them get the ball rolling.
Regardless of the approach, policyIQ’s flexible platform is fine-tuned by the client to become the go-to place for establishing a consistent and reliable risk assessment environment, year after year.
By now, you likely are aware that policyIQ is a flexible GRC platform that can be easily configured and customized into various GRC and other solutions. One of policyIQ’s strengths is the ability to tailor security at a broad and granular level allowing organizations to implement policyIQ in many areas without stepping on each other’s toes, so to speak. Because of this security capability, with our user-based pricing (rather than the common software model of pushing multiple products or add-on modules), our clients have long been able to leverage policyIQ throughout the organization for multiple initiatives at a reasonable cost.
The latest release of policyIQ includes features that support robust enterprise-wide applications of policyIQ for a range of initiatives. In the past, users in different areas of the organization would create a folder, manual, dropdown or multi-select list to track different critical pieces of information pertinent for their documentation. And while this setup could have been perfect for the audit team’s testing documentation, the same location list, for example, would have to be recreated by the technical accountants performing ASC 606 contract reviews. That was then. Clients leveraging policyIQ’s version 7.8 are able to create and manage Global Lists that can be shared across the organization. If your list of Field Offices is leveraged in various types of content throughout the organization, it can now be centrally maintained and updated rather than having to be updated in several department-specific templates.
Similarly, clients historically had to create independent dropdown fields to track people or responsibilities in their content (i.e. Control Owners, testers, contract reviewers). Now, the lists of users created under Groups and Users and established as a part of user profiles can be leveraged as fields within templates. Once and done.
Here are more examples of where this might be pertinent to you. If you have fields or folders tracking these things and would like to save time and sanity managing them, we recommend looking into the new shared fields (Global Lists, Users Lists):

Of course, reach out to us if you have questions on how to make the adjustments to your policyIQ site.


Consumer Confidence Drops Nine Points
July 28, 2015
by Jill Mislinski
The latest Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index was released this morning based on data collected through July 16. The headline number of 90.9 was a significant drop from the June final reading of 99.8, a downward revision of June's initial 101.4. Today's number was below the Investing.com forecast of 100.
Here is an excerpt from the Conference Board press release.
Says Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board: "Consumer confidence declined sharply in July, following a gain in June. Consumers continue to assess current conditions favorably, but their short-term expectations deteriorated this month. A less optimistic outlook for the labor market, and perhaps the uncertainty and volatility in financial markets prompted by the situation in Greece and China, appears to have shaken consumers’ confidence. Overall, the Index remains at levels associated with an expanding economy and a relatively confident consumer."
Putting the Latest Number in Context
The chart below is another attempt to evaluate the historical context for this index as a coincident indicator of the economy. Toward this end we have highlighted recessions and included GDP. The regression through the index data shows the long-term trend and highlights the extreme volatility of this indicator. Statisticians may assign little significance to a regression through this sort of data. But the slope resembles the regression trend for real GDP shown below, and it is a more revealing gauge of relative confidence than the 1985 level of 100 that the Conference Board cites as a point of reference.
On a percentile basis, the latest reading is at the 44% level of all the the monthly data points since June 1977. That's a decrease from 60% previous month.
For an additional perspective on consumer attitudes, see the most recent Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. Here is the chart from that post.
And finally, let's take a look at the correlation between consumer confidence and small business sentiment, the latter by way of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index. As the chart illustrates, the two have tracked one another fairly closely since the onset of the Financial Crisis.

I was pretty down on Facebook for having spent $19 billion to acquire WhatsApp. My case was that they totally misunderstood the job they served in people’s lives: they thought they were about creating a public profile of yourself (a very mid-2000s concept where they battled with MySpace and Friendster and won). If you don’t remember, your profile was all of Facebook originally. There was no Timeline or News Feed.
For years they iterated on that concept, launching Facebook Timeline and more updates to be the place that people went to broadcast who they were.
But in reality, people probably used Facebook for two reasons in their own lives: to see other people’s photos and to keep in touch with friends. Facebook did that great in a 2005 era where everyone was on a desktop computer.
But mobile changed that, and Facebook missed the boat. The Facebook brand was already associated with broadcasting my profile to my friends. That’s why Instagram and WhatsApp won – they built a specialized tool that people associated with photo sharing and texting.
Facebook could never have bolted these features on and won out.
That’s why I was down on them: how long can they just acquire the newest “whim” at increasing prices to stay relevant. It’s been shown that we move on to the latest social craze every few years.
However, Ben Thompson proposes that Facebook will be a conglomerate, not a product:
To glom WhatsApp onto Facebook-the-product would be to throw away exactly what makes WhatsApp valuable to Facebook-the-company – that it’s not Facebook-the-product. It is better to think of Facebook-the-company as a conglomerate: Facebook-the-company builds, acquires, and manages multiple products that serve all the different segments of social. The largest and most well known product in their portfolio just happens to be called “Facebook” as well.
This makes a lot of sense. If they’re able to better serve the individual jobs people have in their lives by deconstructing Facebook and being ok with letting other brands like Instagram and WhatsApp live on, then they have a shot.
I can’t help but think that Facebook is stuck with their blinders on though. It happens with every company, when they start iterating on their product and not on the problem they are solving for their end users.

Condensed deposition favors biochemical analysis, bioassays, and clinical diagnosis, but the existing strategies may suffer from low resolution, inaccurate control, cross-contamination, or miscellaneous apparatus. Herein, we propose a noncontact light strategy to enable the condensed deposition for droplet evaporative crystallization, in which the photothermal effect of a focused infrared laser is employed to induce intense evaporation. Due to the localized heating effect, not only can the droplet evaporative crystallization on the hydrophobic substrate be promoted, but also the resultant intensified Marangoni flow enables the movement of the early-formed crystals, preventing the pinning of the triple-phase contact line.

½ cup chopped walnuts
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugars, add eggs and raspberry extract.
Add flour mixture, mixing well. Fold in all morsels and nuts.
Drop by heaping tsp. on un-greased baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake at 375° degrees for 11-13 minutes.
Do not over bake.
Makes 3-1/2 dozen cookies.


Wednesday’s ad is another one for Budweiser, though this one’s a little older than yesterday’s, most likely from the late 1950s or early 1960s. It’s from Budweiser’s long-running “Where There’s Life” series of ads. The ad features a couple on the beach, and even though its night their faces still look shiny with sweat, or maybe that’s just the glow of the fire that makes them look like that. Either way, hopefully those weenies will be done soon.

Injured bald eagle recovering at DeKalb wild animal hospitalThe bald eagle, who has an injured eye and a broken wing, has been a good patient and not picky about food, according to AWARE. (Matthew Pearson/WABE)
BY Molly Samuel | WABE
An injured bald eagle recently found in DeKalb County is now recovering at a local wildlife hospital. The eagle, now in the care of AWARE Wildlife Center, was found in nearby Panola Mountain State Park. It has a broken wing and an injured eye.
The eagle was likely hit by a car, according to AWARE executive director Scott Lange.
“That’s the most common reason that animals get injured and have to come to AWARE in the first place,” Lange said. “Something like 60% of our patients are hit by cars.”
Lange said two park visitors found the bird and notified rangers, who then contacted AWARE. He said when folks from AWARE arrived, there were about 20 members of the public gathered who helped surround the eagle to catch him.
The eagle’s wing was so badly broken that the bone was sticking out. In addition to surgery and having the wing in a cast, he’s being treated with antibiotics and painkillers.
Marjan Ghadrdan, director of wildlife care at AWARE, said he’s being a good patient.
“He’s very big. He’s three times bigger than any other bird we deal with here,” she said. “Him being so amenable to us has been very nice for us.”
Though AWARE’s goal is to release animals back to the wild, this eagle probably won’t heal enough to go free again.
Instead, Ghadrdan is hoping he’ll go live with a tribal nation. Another eagle that AWARE cared for more than a decade ago is now a resident of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s aviary.
“He can still have a really good life and he can teach so many people why eagles matter and why other wildlife matters,” Ghadrdan said.
According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, two other injured bald eagles have been found this month; both of them died. In happier eagle news, however, a pair of bald eagles that nests at Berry College have laid eggs; there’s a live stream of their nest.
AWARE, which takes in any species of wild animal native to Georgia in need of care, has only handled a handful of bald eagles over the years.
It’s still uncommon to see a bald eagle in the Atlanta area, but there are more of them around than there used to be.
The birds that serve as the national symbol were nearly wiped out in the mid-twentieth century. But after the pesticide DDT was banned and the birds were protected by the Endangered Species Act, they began bouncing back.
Now, they’re seen as a conservation success story. They’re no longer endangered — though they do still have special protections.

Advanced access control, also known as enterprise-class access control, is intended mainly for medium, big and large facilities, where the role of the access control system is not limited only to people traffic control but is extended with many additional functionalities.
The most important is the possibility of integration with other systems operating in the facility. There are two scenarios of such integration: first where external systems are integrated into the software managing the access control system, and vice versa, integrating the AC system in external management platforms. The systems most often integrated with the AC system include the building automation system (BMS), the intruder alarm system, the fire protection system, the CCTV system, and recently, more and more often, IT platforms increasing the comfort and productivity of the facility users.
In many cases, an advanced access control system becomes the main IT system containing a database of facility users that can be used by other building systems. Therefore, an enterprise-class system must offer a software interface with which other systems can not only get data from the access control system but also control it.
Another typical requirement for systems of this class is the management of access to parking lots, lifts, and equipment, while access to the equipment can be realized only in a logical form, by checking the authorization to the object by the facility personnel or physical, as is the case with keys and other items stored in electronic key cabinets.
The software managing advanced access control systems should enable multi-access and also offer the possibility of operating the system from the level of mobile applications and a web browser.
Installation of an enterprise-class access control system requires a thorough analysis of the investor's expectations, followed by the system design process. Management of this type of system is carried out by security services or industry specialists employed within the organization in which the system operates or is delegated to external companies. Advanced systems provide great functional possibilities and usually offer the possibility of their expansion through the use of software integration mechanisms built into the system. Both the installation and use of enterprise-class systems place higher requirements at the design, installation, and use stage.
The RACS 5 system has been designed as a solution that meets the expectations of advanced enterprise-class access control projects. It is a Polish solution developed and developed by the company's engineers. This system draws on the experience gained during nearly 20 years of designing and manufacturing access control systems.

This submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) describes how people with experience of mental illness often do not have access to insurance on reasonable terms. The MHCA argues that the exemptions that providers of insurance currently enjoy under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 be reviewed and amended, and that an independent actuarial study be conducted on the data insurers use to assess the risks associated with mental illness. The submission also calls for a number of improvements to industry practice, including to insurance products, guidelines, forms and processes, and staff training.

Have had no problems with the tapes I use on my scopes as I don't take those on and off. The cable on the one I used for eyepiece heating snapped after a year and the connection between the cable and tape could be improved.

I bought three of these strips about a year and a half ago: An 8, 4 and 2".
The 2" failed after 1 year of use looks like one of wires has disconnected because it's not properly seated inside the material so it was bound to fail through use bending occasionally.
The 4" has now failed and just heats up the wire instead of the dew strip so I assume it's shorting.
So with real use I can't recommend these they don't appear to be sturdy enough especially for such an expensive product. While they work hey work well but failing after such a short period of time is not really acceptable.

Dew formation was the one thing guaranteed to spoil an otherwise good observing session, with frequent uses of a hair drier to get rid of it. Iím pleased to say that using Astrozap this winter means that Iíve not had any problems with dew formation at all.
The principle of this dew prevention method is very simple. A heating strap is wrapped around the tube at the point where the lens or corrector plate is held in place. The controller then heats the strap, and the conductive heat stops the glass from cooling down below the dew point. This prevents dew forming on the glass surface. The controller device regulates the amount of heat used to do this without warming the optics too much, which can cause its own problems. However, there is no immediate way of knowing what setting to use, or for how long, in order to get this balance. Having used this for a few months, it seems the unit needs to be turned full on for a short while to begin with, and then turned to a lower setting for the rest of the session. Colder and/or higher humidity requiring higher settings and duration. Itís a matter of trial and error, and gaining experience with it.
The heating strap is fastened tightly to the tube by a velcro pad, and the controller can be attached to the pier, tripod or mounting with another velcro pad. Care has to be taken to avoid the strap lead from wrapping around the mounting. I use my controller with an 8" strap which requires around 1.2A. The controller can handle up to 5A over 2 controllable channels with 2 sockets each, so other straps can be used at the same time.
My only gripe is the bright, wide angled, green power LED which, when the eyes have become dark adapted, is very irritating. A piece of red cellophane stuck over it has solved that problem. The two yellow LEDs which indicate the power going to the 2 channels are much dimmer and no problem at all.
Obviously it is yet another piece of kit to take outside when observing, but it is well worth it. In an observatory it is an essential item which can be permanently installed.

The Roškar farm stands alone on a hill in the middle of vineyards near two fishponds.
An apartment for six people offers accommodation for those who wish to spend their holiday only ten kilometers from Ptuj, one of Slovenia's most beautiful and interesting cities.
The guests look after their own meals, either cooking themselves or trying the local specialties in nearby gostilnas. The Roškars have open or bottled wine from their own vineyard.
Guests are welcome to help in the vineyard, fish in the fishponds, and go hunting with members of the local hunting association.
There are many interesting things to see and do in Ptuj that will take several visits. Along with the sights of the ancient old city, the Ptuj Thermal Spa offers indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Not far from the farm is Borl Castle with its mighty defense tower, Holy Trinity chapel, and Knight's Hall, and there are several interesting churches in the area. GPS Northing (N)

AIDAN O’BRIEN let out a sigh of relief as the latest racing resumption plans WILL allow international runners to compete in the big races.
The BHA will target a return from June 1 with the Guineas and Royal Ascot part of a busy month aimed at getting the Flat season back on track.
The 1000 and 2000 Guineas are pencilled in for June 6 and 7 and the Ballydoyle maestro will be licking his lips as his Irish string will be allowed to race.
With Irish racing doubtful to have returned by early June, the Irishman could line up his biggest raiding party to date.
O’Brien has dominated the 2000 and 1000 Guineas of late and did the double last year with Magna Grecia and Hermosa.
The Brits thought they may escape his might this summer with original resumption plans set to BAN international challengers from the early season.
But once again the O’Brien and Ballydoyle powerhouse could haunt Charlie Appleby and Roger Charlton who had thought their Pinatubo and Quadrilateral may have it easy.
French trainer Andre Fabre could also be booking a ferry over with his exciting Earthlight.
The same rules apply to Royal Ascot which escaped a fright and will be run over five days from June 16.
Wesley Ward’s US sprinters will be allowed on the plane across but the meeting’s race schedule will be altered to ensure Derby and Oaks hopefuls are given more time prior to Epsom.
Don’t miss out on all the best of Sun Racing
Two-year-old races are set to remain and the BHA hope to give trainers ample time to get a run into their youngsters beforehand.
No punters and owners will be on course and the usual top hats and champagne will be a non-runner.
The second batch of Classics – the Investec Derby and Oaks – will be run on one afternoon in a behind closed doors extravaganza pencilled in for July 4.
Again the Ballydoyle tanks will be firmly parked on the Epsom Downs drive for a race that means the world to the Coolmore empire.
The Coral Eclipse has been pushed back a day and will be for four-year-olds and up only, as part of an epic weekend of racing.
The exact timetable for the resumption will remain subject to agreement from the government. A further setback will leave the remainder of the Flat season decimated.
But the original plan for the first seven days of any restart will still be used and more details on that will be released in the coming days.

An Oklahoma City minister publicly berated a state senator on Thursday for making what the pastor described as “sexist”, “misogynist” and “racist” public remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris.
Reverend Lee Cooper, senior pastor of the Prospect Missionary Baptist Church, was serving his last day as a participant in the Oklahoma Senate Chaplain of the Week program when he picked up Senator Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, for implying that Harris, the country’s first black person, the first woman and the first person of South Asian descent to become vice-president, had fallen asleep in politics.
Tulsa World reported on Monday that Dahm, who is white, made remarks about Harris after he introduced a law banning the use of paper straws. The outlet reported that Dahm attacked Harris with Pres. Joe Biden and US Senator Mitt Romney in a press release on Senate Bill 1065, saying they were, in his opinion, as weak as paper straws. He shared more derogatory remarks about Harris in an interview with a broadcast reporter.
âTalking to some people, one thing you could say is, you know, you can’t use a paper straw for a milkshake, but maybe Kamala Harris could because of his vast experience, “Dahm told the show’s reporter. in the world of Tulsa. When the reporter replied that it was “mostly oral sexual involvement”, Dahm did not deny it.
Cooper, who is Black, responded to these derogatory remarks made by Dahm.
âI said ‘Sen. Dahm, ‘sucking straws’ is not acceptable. Plus, it’s sexist, misogynistic and racist, âthe pastor told the Oklahoman.
Several Republican senators left the Senate chamber after Cooper called Dahm by name during his sermonette. However, the minister said he had no regrets about berating Dahm.
âYou have to speak the truth to power,â Cooper said Thursday afternoon.
“I didn’t bring anything into the Senate space that wasn’t already in the public sphere. Some of them came out and I said it wasn’t the first time someone has gone out while I was talking.”
Dahm did not respond to a request for comment.
Senator George Young, D-Oklahoma City, nominated Cooper for the Senate chaplaincy program. The Senate immediately entered executive session after the pastor’s comments. Young, an ordained Baptist minister, said he could not reveal the subject of the executive session due to Senate rules and protocol.
Senator Mary Boren, D-Norman, however, took to Twitter to announce the executive session.
âWe have just entered executive session apparently due to a sermon from the pastor today,â Boren tweeted.
Young said that Cooper was not told what he could or could not say in his meditation that served to conclude his participation in the program. Young also reiterated Cooper’s claim that Dahm’s comments on Harris had been made public, so many people were already aware that he had made statements about her.
âHis message was good. No one specifically gave him directions for content, context, message. It was just to be courteous and use decorum and I thought he was doing all of that,â he said. Young said.
âWhat he did was he used an example that was common knowledge. Anyone who wants to know what that senator said and the horrible reference he made. to the very body that person is a member of and he used that as an example in his message as any pastor would because he was talking about the fact that we need to wake up and start talking and facing these things that are happening to us. impact negatively, those things that negatively impact other people – those things that just keep going without responding to them. He didn’t know not to use the person’s name because the person was still there. ”
Cooper is the longtime senior pastor of Prospect Baptist in northeast Oklahoma City. After Oklahoma City Ward 7 Councilor John Pettis resigned, the minister served as Ward 7 city councilor from June to November 2018, when Nikki Nice, current Ward 7 councilor, was elected to the post.
Cooper said his remarks directly to Dahm came at the end of his sermonette which focused on the importance of dealing with the turmoil that allows the nation to heal and bring about reconciliation.
The minister said the Lord had led him to focus on a unified call for racial reconciliation. He called out the names of several black men and women across the country who were killed by police.
“These are the things that tear us apart. We should now be awakened from our sleep and listlessness and we should be at the point where we should be ready to act,” he said.
“There can be no real reconciliation without confrontation. Something must be said.”
Meanwhile, when asked about the possible repercussions for Dahm, Aaron Cooper, Senate Pro Tem spokesman Greg Treat, said the Senate leader was maintaining his previous comments disapproving of Dahm’s remarks.
“Any disciplinary action that may be taken will be dealt with internally, as has been the case with other disciplinary action taken by Senator Treat since he became the pro tem,” Cooper said.

Free Press, Metro, et al.: Gov’t will pour $9M into Churchill scientific facility
Manitoba came through Wednesday with the final piece in a western Canadian partnership for a $32 million Marine Observatory in Churchill to study arctic oil spills.
“Everybody’s provided their funding, the project’s moving forward,” said the lead scientist on the project, David Barber, a University of Manitoba professor and Canada Research Chair in Arctic systems science. “We just need to finalize who’s going to build the thing. It’ll be in the next 12 months.”On Wednesday, Manitoba pledged $9 million towards construction of the observatory.
“This project is an important part of our vision for a strong, diversified northern economy,” Education and Training Minister Ian Wishart said in the province’s announcement.
“The Churchill Marine Observatory will create up to 21 permanent jobs, boost tourism and transportation in the region and enhance Manitoba and Canada’s reputation as a world leader in Arctic research,” Wishart said.
The provincial funding will flow through the University of Manitoba.
Led by the U of M, the project includes collaboration from the University of Calgary and the University of British Columbia with major funding from the federal Canadian Foundation for Innovation and co-ordination from Polar Knowledge Canada, an arms-length agency of the federal Indigenous and Northern Affairs department. Funding is also in place from the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Manitoba was the last major funder to make its announcement.

Session Date: April 23, 2021
Session Description: Approximately 400,000 people die a year from malaria, with children under 5 being the most vulnerable. Africa bears the brunt of the impact, with 94% of malaria cases and deaths. Climate change, especially increased temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, are expected to increase malaria exposure in many parts of Africa. Other regions of the world can expect to see an increase in other vector-borne diseases.
In this session we aim to briefly present recent findings on how climate impacts malaria burden, followed by a brief panel discussion and facilitated discussion to identify how to integrate consideration of climate impacts into malaria and other vector-borne disease control programming and elimination strategies.

Territorial behavior is often motivated by both fear and anticipation of a perceived threat. Because defending territory is such a high priority to them, many dogs are highly motivated to bark when they detect the approach of unknown people or animals near familiar places, like their homes and yards. This high level of motivation means that when barking territorially, your dog might ignore unpleasant or punishing responses from you, such as scolding or yelling. Even if the barking itself is suppressed by punishment, your dog’s motivation to guard his territory will remain strong, and he might attempt to control his territory in another way, such as biting without warning.
Literally THOUSANDS of you have requested this video! Unwanted barking is the reason so many people give up on a dog. Share this video so that more people know how to handle this easy to correct
In my research before making this video, I discovered so many videos offering some pretty questionable advice and some downright bad advice. When I found decent videos almost all of them included one type of unwanted barking and one dog.
I have a cocker spaniel rescue dog which I have had now for over a year – he is red colour and is now 18 months old. Hunter has had issues since we got him in that he growls if you go near his toys, food etc he is clearly resource guarding. However during the time we have had him his behaviour has worsened. He now chasing lorries, vans and buses, he growls for no reason whilst in the home, he has snapped, growled and ‘gone for’ all of us, never actually bitten but I suppose the threat is there.
The easiest and quickest way to quiet down a territorial/alarm/defense barker is to manage their environment. By blocking your dog’s sight line to potential barking triggers, you can stop the uncontrollable barking.
Oh my dog can walk fine on a leash, when HE wants to. When we first leave the house I have to literally drag him for half of the time for the first 20 minutes. After that, he’s great. Loves it. If he doesn’t feel like walking, he will not. If I try to wait him out and see if he’ll walk eventually, he’ll just stand there…forever I think. lol
I know this isn’t exactly on topic tonight, but I have been having issues with my young male rottweiler following my commands to go to bed at night. He is normally so well behaved and a great listener. I don’t know if it is because Ares is getting to the age where his hormones or kicking in and he doesn’t want to listen, or what. I understand that sometimes he gets bored in his crate when I have been at work, and I have let him take his favorite toy to bed with him, but tonight was a struggle to get him to bed. I was actually home all day today with him, and we had fun playing out doors and relaxing inside, but for some reason, he absolutely would not go up the stairs tonight. I had to carry him up the stairs, and mind you he is a 50-60 pound pup who is 5 months, but to do that seemed a bit extreme. Am I not being firm enough? I just don’t understand. I could have him outside going potty and he gets a whiff of something, and all I have to do is call him and he comes running. What could be so different about tonight?
Play: If you’ve ever gotten your dog involved in an intense play session, you’ve probably heard them bark at you. Like kids yelling on a playground, dogs bark to communicate their willingness and excitement to play.
Pheromone-based treatment: (helpful for fear barkers and separation distress barkers) plug-in diffusers that mimic the “calming chemicals” given off by female dogs can help to soothe dogs that bark due to stress. While you might not see a dramatic shift in behavior – keep in mind that pheromones are different from prescribed medications – the diffusers are an easy and affordable way to take the edge off a stressful situation.
Outside, you might consider putting slats in the chain link fence to cut down on his visual access to the world surrounding his yard (better yet, install a privacy fence) or put up an interior fence to block his access to the more stimulating parts of the yard. Given that alarm barking will inevitably occur, it’s also useful to teach him a positive interrupt – a cue, other than “Shut up!” that you can use to stop him in mid-bark. (See “The Positive Interrupt,” to the right of this page.)
NILF stands for nothing in life is free and should be a way of life for most dogs and definitely if you are having any issues with your dog. Basically the dog is on a work to earn program and has to do something to get stuff. You should be your dog’s benevolent leader. NILF will help you get there.
Who among us hasn’t smiled at our dogs howling at the sound of a ﬁre truck siren speeding past? The howl, which sometimes speaks of a dog’s distress, is also a communal conversation. Dogs often howl in groups, and some owners delight in teaching their dogs to howl on cue, by howling – or singing – themselves. “Group howl” is a popular activity of wild dogs, and of many humans around the campﬁre at dog camps. Try it – you and your dog might enjoy it!
If your dog barks at any and every noise and sight regardless of the context, he’s probably alarm barking. Dogs engaged in alarm barking usually have stiffer body language than dogs barking to greet, and they often move or pounce forward an inch or two with each bark. Alarm barking is different than territorial barking in that a dog might alarm bark at sights or sounds in any location at all, not just when he’s defending familiar areas, such as your house, yard or car.
Some dog owners ‘debark’ their dogs but that is a very controversial method which does not address the underlying cause of the barking. It is a surgical procedure where the voice box is removed, leaving dogs with a raspy, instead of full, bark. There are complications and the operation can be life-threatening.
You want to try to block the dog from hearing the sounds. Since you obviously cannot sound proof your entire apartment, a great solution is to buy a fan and leave it on. In most cases this is more than enough to distract the dog and the sound made will stop him from hearing what happens on the outside. If this fails, you can turn on your radio and leave it like that when you are not home. The dog will be intrigued and can often remain near the radio and listen to what is said there, with zero focus to the outdoors.
There was a time when the thought of getting a kiss from Rusty would not have been a good thing. Rusty is a rescue dog and shortly after adopting him, we discovered that he ate his own poop! Fortunately, he no longer does this, and his kisses are a whole lot more pleasant.
What’s more, they can actually do more harm than good by causing your dog unnecessary stress and even pain. Plus, using devices that punish pets will likely damage the bond between you, meaning your dog is less likely to follow your instruction in future, and can lead to further problem behaviours.
Studies have shown that the collars that make a noise do not work with most dogs. One study compared the citronella spray collar and the electronic shock collar and found they are equally effective for eliminating barking. Some collars use a microphone to hear the dog’s bark. If you have more than one dog, the second one could set off the collar with his barking. Anti-bark collars are not designed to be left on all the time and your dog may learn not to bark when the collar is on, and then resume the barking when the collar is off.
Please note that there there are instances of excessive barking for which it is a good idea to seek the advice of a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, a Veterinary Behaviorist, or a Certified Professional Dog Trainer first.
I should add here that many years ago (when I was pretty new to dog training) I used to think that barking could all be sorted out with the same approach. Now I’m a few years older and wiser (hee hee), and I can see the error of my ways.

Over the past few years, there have been heatwaves in Europe. Temperatures have gone up to 102 degrees on a few of the days I was in Paris. In New York there is air conditioning everywhere. That’s not the case in Paris. It’s not every day, or year, that it hovers around 100 degrees. I have discovered a few great places to spend a day in the heat. The things on this list are activities that I would do even if it isn’t over 95 degrees. Let me know if I missed any in the comments.
Spend the day at Galeries Lafayette
This department store has AC! It’s not quite as strong as a N.Y. department store, meaning you don’t need to bring a sweater, but it’s much better than the heat outside. The Galeries Lafayette has everything you would expect from a department store but with an amazing stained glass roof. They have their own brand of clothes and hand bags. I always enjoy looking at the couture shoe section and trying on clothes. When I need a break, the instore cafeteria has a great view of the Eiffel Tower.
Visit the beach without leaving the city. At the start of June through early September the city sets up beaches along the Seine. Volleyball courts are set up with sand in the square by the Hotel de Ville. Beaches are also added along the canal basin. They add docks and paddle boats to rent. There’s bocce ball, restaurants and bars set up along the water as well. The city adds areas for swimming in the basin as well. It’s like swimming in a lake. https://www.parisdiscoveryguide.com/paris-beaches.html
Normally Angelina’s is my go to for hot chocolate but the first time I went during a heat wave they offered me an iced hot chocolate and I’ve never looked back. It is frothy and almost as thick as a milkshake. They also have air conditioning.
This department store is located on the edge of the Marais and accessible through the metro. They have the basics of a department store and so much more. Not only is there also a hardware store section but also an area where you can buy parts of a shoe like extra heels or insoles. I really enjoy buying unique cabinet knobs to replace the ones at home. There is a kitchen section and a crafts section. They sell everything from paper crafts and decoupage to yarn and fabric. I could spend days in this store.
A handful of museums have air conditioning. You can double check before you go but here are a few that I know do. The Picasso Museum, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and the Chocolate Museum which you can read all about here.
Churches are made of stone and have a natural cooling effect. A few that you could spend hours in include: Sainte Chapelle, Sacré-Cœur, and, it might not be a church but, the Panthéon. The Pantheon has crypts underneath.
The city of paris has public pools that are about 5 Euro to enter. There are lockers to rent inside so make sure you have a Euro on you in case you need one to access the locker. The coin goes in to open a locker and when you leave you get the coin back. Not all the pools use this system, some have code access. The Joséphine Baker Pool floats on the Seine and it has no roof. Last time I went to check it out there was a two hour wait, in the sun, to get in. On the other side of town Piscine Keller has a retractable roof. It was crowded but filled with locals. There’s also a nice indoor pool at Le Halls. All of the public pools in Paris require a swim cap. Some have vending machines with swim supplies like swim caps, goggles and bathing suits.
Ice cream is always a good idea. Berthillon is rated one of the best in Paris. Berthillon ice cream and sorbet was born on the Ilé Saint Louis and most restaurants in the area serve it. There are a few windows to order from around the island as well as a sit down location. Pierre Hermé makes delicious ice cream and ice cream sandwiches made with macaroons. Une Glace à Paris was opened by two friends one of which is a world champion pastry chef. They have unusual flavors which change with the seasons. Flavors can include: smoked vanilla, walnut oil, and wild pollen. Sorbet flavors like, banana caramel litchi, and orange carrot ginger. They also have frozen pastries like a millefeuille made with ice cream. http://uneglaceaparis.fr/

Those iced hot chocolates look delicious!!
I dream about them.
