You really think that a billionaire pays the same amount as you at McDonalds AS A PERCENTAGE OF INCOME AFTER DEDUCTIONS, you are just as stupid as you are an arrogant ass. Its not about apples and oranges, its about the percentage of a persons income they keep after taxes, and its much heavier on the middle class than the 1%.
1% of this nations population has taken control of 75% of this nations wealth!! While they pay approx. 22.3% of income tax paid, the upper middle class pays approx. 20% of the tax burden and the hated poor pay 3/10 of 1 %. Anyone with even a hit of common sense attached to a working brain can see that the rich 1% are getting a hell of a deal, the middle class is carrying the largest burden when you consider what they ALL pay as a PERCENTAGE of the INCOME after all the bought and paid for deductions thanks to their friends in Congress that just don't apply to the middle class. The poor have nothing so they pay nothing, like you.
Thought you might want a little help with your facts.
How much households at different income levels will pay in federal income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes for 2013.
Bottom 20 percent
Average tax bill:-$284.
Average tax rate:-2.7 percent.
Share of federal tax burden:-0.4 percent.
Middle 20 percent
Average tax bill:$6,436.

War and Remembrance: Erwing Eisch's Night of the Crystal Death Portfolio
In 1992 Erwin Eisch (b. 1927) created a series of works in response to the words “crystal night” for the American Interfaith Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The words, which are a reference to Kristallnacht, prompted Eisch to create a series of works known as the Night of the Crystal Death portfolio.
Rather than rely photographs, Eisch turned to his childhood memories and recent feelings to enrich his work. Eisch’s village of Frauenau in Germany, home to a 600 year old glass industry, did not suffer the violent riots that swept through Germany and Austria in November 1938. However, Eisch remembers a childhood of fear, uncertainty, and poverty. Later in life, Eisch grappled with the burden of shame laid upon all native Germans for the atrocities of the Second World War and Shoah (the Holocaust). These emotions are expressed through Eisch’s spontaneous use of line, relatable forms, and identifiable symbols in his prints.
Often Eisch takes a humanist approach in dealing with global issues in his art. Here his craft and hand augment his interpretation of the riots of November 1938. Made from engraved glass plates, the viteograph prints focus on the human aspects from that night – the shared and individual memories of pain, loss, anger, and hatred – instead of a literal interpretation of shattered glass and racial prejudice.

Opposition calls for parliamentary investigation over central bank chief ousting and profiteering rumors
Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has requested a parliamentary investigation to find out who profited off the unexpected firing and replacement of Central Bank Governor Naci Ağbal.
K. Murat Yıldız / Duvar English
The Republican People’s Party (CHP) has asked the government how much public money was lost and who profited between the time of the announcement of interest hike on March 18 and the removal of the Turkish Central Bank (CBRT) governor on March 20. They have called for a parliamentary investigation into the foreign currency transactions that occurred within that 48 hours.
Some of the comments and questions deputies asked as part of their parliamentary inquiries include: “The Turkish economy is going through its worst period in the history of the Republic;” “Who bought foreign currency during this fluctuation period?;" and "Who turned this crisis into an opportunity?”
CHP Istanbul MP Gürsel Tekin, who led the move and was supported by 15 other MPs who signed the request for a parliamentary investigation, noted in the inquiry that the CBRT governor has changed 3 times in the last 20 months and that this has caused anxiety and distrust among investors, leading to an increase in the exchange rate, arguing that some people have profited off this development.
Tekin and the other 15 signatories of the inquiry pointed out that it is the duty of the parliament to audit public institutions on behalf of the public and that it should urgently answer the questions regarding this matter.
Within the inquiry, it was requested that a parliamentary investigation be initiated to determine who profited off this recent decision to change the CBRT governor and to reveal the extent of the public loss and the measures to be taken in reponse.
“A one-kuruş (1/100 TL) depreciation of the lira against foreign currencies results in an increase of 4 billion 310 million liras in Turkey's gross external debt," the inquiry noted.
“There are those who were informed beforehand that the Central Bank Governor would be dismissed. Even certain journalists wrote about the dismissal before it happened. It was reported to the public that 450 million dollars were collected on Friday and traded. Who knew Ağbal would be dismissed and collected those dollars? Who leaked that information? They have to explain these questions to the nation. Turkey’s Grand National Assembly's task is to find out who leaked this information to certain individuals and circles,” MP Tekin told to Duvar English.
“These recent developments since March 18 have proven once again that the regime in Turkey is an authoritarian kleptocracy,” he concluded.

If you’re looking to capture some amazing trail running photos just like the Pros do, then you need to be prepared. Luckily, here are 10 Tips For Photographing Trail Running in Style that will get you started.
1: Get out of bed.
I know it’s a strange first bullet point, but it has to be said, so let’s get it out of the way so that we can all move on with our day. If you are neatly tucked up under a warm and cozy duvet then you arent outside taking the kind of photos that Red Bull will be banging your door down to buy from you. So get up, get out and get shooting. No complaints, no moaning, just go. Remember, you don’t have to do this, you get to do it.
2. Get Fit!
It’s all well and good trying to photograph someone running, but if you yourself aren’t fit enough to move big distances quickly then you will be very limited in what you can shoot and where you can go!
Running trails can be very challenging, so make sure you’re up to the challenge before hitting the single track. Adventure sports often take place in remote locations over very difficult terrain. Being physically fit allows top photographers to slog up to the best vantage points and carry their heavy camera gear without becoming exhausted.
Days can be very long when you are slumped in an exhausted heap on the side of a trail.
3. What camera should I use?
A decent entry-level camera can do the job of shooting sports photography. While a top-end DSLR or mirrorless camera may have more advanced features and better image quality, a good entry-level camera will still be able to produce quality images. Entry-level cameras may have limitations in terms of speed and low-light performance, but they are still capable of capturing sports action.
4. DSLR or Mirrorless?
This is an argument we wouldn’t have been having even 10 years ago but mirrorless cameras are taking the world by storm and soon camera manufacturers will stop making the ubiquitous DSLR altogether.
The main difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera is that the DSLR uses a mirror to project the image onto the viewfinder giving you an optical view of the scene in front of the camera, while a mirrorless camera uses an electronic viewfinder (EVF). The EVF gives an accurate depiction of exactly what the photo will look like when you hit the shutter. This ‘What you see is what you get’ ability of mirrorless cameras is what makes them the perfect tool for sports photography. The mirrorless camera is also much lighter, more compact, and has faster autofocus than the old-school DSLR.
5. Is the lens really that important?
A decent-quality lens will make a much bigger impact on image quality than any upgrade you make to your camera body because the lens is the primary factor in determining how sharp and detailed an image is. The lens is responsible for the amount of light that enters the camera, the depth of field, and the angle of view, all of which affect the overall image quality. A good quality lens can help to minimize distortion and aberrations and produce sharper, more detailed images. In contrast, an upgraded camera body may have a higher resolution and improved processing power, but it does not affect the quality of the image anywhere near as much as a good lens does.
6. Carry a selection of lenses but not too many.
When I started out shooting sports, I would often carry 4 or 5 lenses with me to ensure that I had the right lens for any situation. This was often a cumbersome task, as the lenses added a lot of extra weight to my gear. Additionally, I was often shooting in dusty or windy environments, and changing lenses in those environments opened up a risk of getting dust and other particles onto the camera sensor.
To reduce the weight I was carrying I began to carry fewer lenses with me and nowadays more often than not I only bring the two lenses that I know are essential for the particular shoot I am doing and occasionally I’ll add a lightweight fisheye lens into the mix when I know I’ll be shooting in tight spaces.
The main reason you would only carry a combination of a wide angle and a zoom lens is that they are the two most versatile lenses and can be used in a variety of situations. You really won’t have time to be doing much lens changing on the side of the trail. You are either moving or shooting.
A long lens is going to be your best friend when shooting trail running photos. This will allow you to capture close-up shots of your subject without having to be right next to them. A 70-200mm lens is perfect for our purposes and if you can stomach the extra weight, a 100-400mm is often even better.
Conversely, a lot of times, a wide-angle lens is going to be the lens of choice. This is because it can help you capture the vastness of the landscape and place the runner into context within it. Just be careful not to get too close to the runner, as a wide-angle lens will tend to distort their features.
7. The Angle of Dangle
You will often hear that the best advice for capturing a great action photo is to ‘get close and get low’. It’s very good advice.
Shooting from a low angle can give the illusion of speed and make your subject look more powerful. Conversely, shooting from a high angle can make your subject look small and insignificant. It all depends on the look you’re going for.
Shooting from up close is closely linked to shooting from down low. This might seem like a no-brainer, but it’s worth mentioning. If you want to get great shots of the runner, you need to be close to the action. This means getting off the sidelines and getting into the thick of things. Just be careful not to get in the way!
8. Use A Fast Shutter Speed. Or use a slow shutter speed. Whatever.
If you want to freeze the motion of a runner, then you need to use a fast shutter speed. The faster the shutter speed, the more motion will be frozen in the image. Generally, a shutter speed of 1/1000 or faster is recommended for freezing motion. You may also need to adjust the ISO and aperture settings to accommodate the higher shutter speed. For example, in broad daylight, a camera set at 1/1000 shutter speed, and f/4 aperture should be sufficient for freezing the motion of a runner.
When shooting in poor lighting, the ISO needs to be increased in order to capture enough light while keeping the shutter speed high. Increasing the ISO will allow the camera to collect more light, but it will also increase the amount of noise in the image.
For example, in poor lighting, if the shutter speed is 1/1000 sec and the f-stop is 4, then the ISO could be set higher to accommodate the lack of light and this would result in a brighter image, but it would also create more image noise. Alternatively, the ISO could be set lower for a less noisy image, but the photo will be darker.
Modern cameras can easily shoot at an ISO of 16800.
A slow shutter speed is needed to create a panning shot that can be used to give an illusion of speed by blurring the background while keeping the subject in focus. This technique produces a dynamic and energetic look to a photo as if the subject is moving quickly. When setting up for this shot, the photographer should use a slow shutter speed (usually between 1/15 and 1/60 of a second) and pan their camera with the subject as they take the photo. This will result in a sharp subject against a blurred background, conveying a sense of motion and speed. It’s a technique that requires a fair amount of practice and even pros will only get a hit rate of 10-15% useable shots.
9. Be Ready For Action
When shooting trail running, you need to be prepared for anything…
It is essential to always have the camera turned on and that it is ready to shoot in case an athlete suddenly appears. (The first runner tends to materialise without warning just 2 meters in front of you.)When you are being paid to shoot a race it is important to capture the lead male and female runners for the event press releases. Having your camera turned on and ready to shoot allows you to react quickly and capture the moment without having to fumble around with settings or wait for the camera to power up. This ensures that you don’t get that most embarrassing of shots, the back of a disappearing runner.
10: Be aware of your environment
One of two things is almost always happening. Either you are damaging the environment or the environment is trying to damage you. When you are up on a mountain shooting runners or mountain bikes coming past you, then you are not on the trail but next to it. If you are in fact on the trail then get off it, it belongs to the runners and you should be doing everything in your power not to annoy them. Be aware that when you are off-piste you are probably trampling some very sensitive fynbos or indigenous vegetation into oblivion. Tread lightly, we want to be allowed to go back there next year. Conversely, always be supremely aware that you are tramping around the home ground of things that can kill you in very nasty ways. Things like snakes, zebra, leopards, and a host of smaller creepy crawlies can all turn your lovely day on the trail into a nightmare. Oh, and beware of that 20-meter cliff face just behind you that’s totally hidden by the ferns.

I have a ‘Tried and Tested’ (TNT) pattern that I use on a regular basis to make tee shirts. This was originally a Paola Turtle Neck top by Named and I have lost count of the number of times I have made up this style for myself, my sister and friends.
I have changed the neckline and added a neck band, changed the hemline to have a ‘shirt tail’ curve and changed the sleeves so that they now have a cuff that is either incorporated or added depending on the length of the original sleeve and my fabric availability.
For these two tees, I used just 1 metre of fabric in each print.
The Yellow floral spring print is a cotton blend loop back jersey bought some time ago from Cheryl of Stitchy Bee. This is the first time that I have used loop back jersey and this particular fabric was fabulous to work with and to wear. Although it is no longer in stock with Stitchy Bee I have seen some at my local Franklins, Salisbury branch and I may well purchase some more to make a simple dress for the Spring.
The second tee is made from a cotton/elastane jersey bought from an eBay seller for £8.60/metre. I first bought the Duck Egg Blue colourway which sewed up well in exactly the same pattern. Thus I decided to purchase the Blue colourway and it has been laundered and sitting in my stash for quite a long time.
These two tees are a great addition to my wardrobe and I would like to make a pinafore dress in Denim so that I can continue to wear them as the weather cools down in the Autumn.


text: My dad bought the boys an outdoor exercise pen almost 2 weeks ago. We put them in it, and Rascal found out he could squeeze through the bars, and showed Renegade how to do it. So, we had to make it ferret escape proof. My dad and I finally found some stuff and did it today. We through the boys in there to make sure they could not get out still, and they could. So in these pictures there is only one layer of plastic on it... we put another layer on just above it. Tried Renegade with it again and it is now ferret proof. Just a few pictures, there are 50 forest fires in Quebec (the next province over) so our air is all smokey and I did not want to risk keeping the boys outside for too long. All done!

2 experiments were conducted to explore nutrient composition, AME, AMEn, standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP, and amino acids (AA) of 4 indigenous protein sources including canola meal (CM), rapeseed meal (RSM), guar meal (GM), and sunflower meal (SFM) collected from 2 different locations, Multan (MUL; n = 3) and Sukkur (SKR; n = 3), of Pakistan. Higher (P < 0.05) dry matter (DM), CP, and gross energy (GE), whereas lower (P < 0.05) ash contents were found in SKR, CM, and RSM compared with those from MUL. The MUL GM had higher (P < 0.05) crude fiber (CF) and CP, whereas lower (P < 0.05) GE compared with those from SKR. The SFM from MUL had higher DM, whereas lower CF and CP contents than SKR. In the first experiment, 216 21-d-old male broilers (Ross 308) were distributed over 8 test diets (4 ingredients × 2 locations) and 1 basal diet, with 4 replicates containing 6 birds each (9 × 4 × 6), in a complete randomized design to determine AME and AMEn. The results indicated higher (P < 0.05) AME and AMEn in MUL CM than SKR. In the second experiment, 216 21-d-old male broilers (Ross 308) were raised in 36 cages (6 birds each) to determine SID of CP and AA in a complete randomized design. 8 test diets (4 ingredients × 2 locations) and a protein-free diet, with 4 replicates each, were tested. The SID of CP and some AA were higher (P < 0.05) in MUL CM and RSM than SKR. The SKR GM had a higher (P < 0.05) SID of CP, arginine, methionine, threonine, valine, and cysteine compared with that from MUL. The SFM from MUL had higher (P < 0.05) SID of CP, arginine, histidine, methionine, valine, alanine, aspartate, cysteine, and serine than SKR. In conclusion, major differences do exist between CM, GM, RSM, and SFM from different locations in terms of nutrients, AME, digestible CP, and AA contents for male broilers.

road ride 1:00:10  15.5 mi (3:53 / mi)
running new 25mm puncture resistant tires on the rear up from 23mm. Still using 23's in the front. Ride was much smoother. This was due to a combination of the wider tire and using lower air pressure (100PSI vs my normal 120).
I should have used 120psi. I would have been able to better gauge the difference. Bike felt a bit sluggish but then again - was it it me, was it the tire pressure, was it the extra 2mm's??
In the end my time was good. Contrary to what people would think, the consensus is that 25's will result in a faster ride. In part because the smoother ride lets you be more aggressive. Also static friction is reduced. This is not what I would have thought.
There must be some truth. 17mm tires are a thing of the past.

What you're probably here for is my free to use resources, particularly character portraits. Yes, to clarify, they are free to use, modify, recolor, whatever you want at no cost. And yes, you can use them commercially. I only ask that you do credit me and maybe give me a link back (but that part is optional).
I do take requests, but only vague ones. For instance, I'll take a request for "NPC Shopkeeper", "Castle Guard", "Vampire Queen", "Sexy Cat Girl", ect. But not for a specific character or a specific look. For that, you will have to commission me. I do swear my prices are fair, though.

'The Fall of the House of Usher’ is a famous Edgar Allan Poe's short story. It was initially published in 1839 and since then it has captivated millions. The story is said to be literary classic and a pioneering work in Gothic storytelling. The story represents the incorporation of ‘totality’ in writing in which each and every detail constitutes a part of the bigger picture.
The story focuses on Roderick Usher who lives in a house with his sister and complains that the house that he lives in is alive. Usher writes to his friend to come and help him as he thinks that he has an illness. The friend, who is the narrator of the story, arrives and finds that both Roderick and his sister are suffering from conditions which include hypersensitivity to light, sounds, and textures; and anxiety. The sister, Madeline also suffers from seizure episodes which have been described as death-like trances. The narrator observes the house and finds intricately detailed paintings and musical compositions. After a few conversations, Roderick reveals to the narrator that he thinks that the house is alive and this feeling arises due to the way vegetation surrounds the house. During the narrator’s stay, Roderick tells him that Madeline has died and Roderick would like to put her body in the family’s tomb before she is buried permanently. The narrator helps Roderick put the body in the tomb, however strange events follow Madeline’s death. The narrator and Roderick observe that the lake surround the house glows in the dark as it was represented in the paintings. Both the narrator and Roderick start to feel increasingly agitated. There are creaking sounds across the house and sounds of shrieks. Upon these events, Roderick reveals that his sister was alive when was entombed and these noises are being made by her. Soon after this revelation, the door of the room opens revealing Madeline standing there. She falls on her brother and both of them hit the floor as dead bodies. The narrator flees immediately and while running away from the house he looks back to find that the house had split into two and the fragments of the house were falling into the lake.
This short story has been admired as one of the most primary psychological horror stories. The admiration is mostly due to the fact that this genre had not been discovered yet, and this story holds the pioneering status. The short story still lives in print and visual media due to its several adaptations.

For some reason the myriad synaptic connections in my brain, designed to interpret millions of tiny pieces of information at the speed of light, initially visualised Lost Chocolate Lab as a wonderful laboratory painstakingly recreating Timeouts and Fuse bars. Like Jurassic Park, but with chocolate. Damian Kastbauer probably already knew this and has incorporated the double meaning into both his website artwork and the duality of the music. Of course Lab is short for Labrador for which the sad, lonely and helpless connotations are as apt for the former February man’s improvisations and audio experimenting on this remarkable solo project; and which successfully melds both. Conceived as far back as 1998, the following year’s Beautiful Flute and follow-up, Seed, were experiments in flute, percussion and production and may have long since slipped from memory but, honed at an almost glacial pace, Lost Landscapes is one man’s love letter to the first wave of shoegaze pioneers and built entirely out of guitar and bass.
The record’s real life laboratory was a daily commute between Seattle and Bellevue, and lead single ‘Squall’ made no attempt to hide its musical and geographical influences, you can almost smell the industrial landscape. Maggot Brain-era Funkadelic guitars overlay a distorted, higher pitched drone as the reverb ramps up over its six minutes into a punishing outro but which is merely an introduction to the fitful intensity of Lost Landscapes. Primarily composed around one-take bass and guitar ‘passes’ which Kastbauer then edited into an 80 minute suite rippled with waves of effects pedal manipulation, invisible clouds of feedback, and sonic unravelling as the pulsing foundations then sub-consciously swell this record like gravitational waves through space. Opener ‘Contents/Weightless’ is a 10 minute drone with gentle acoustic guitar, a post-rock seascape where the guitar gets twisted and warped before reaching a timely precipice at about eight-and-a-half minutes and plunging into a whirlpool of effects.
‘Everything Is Heavy’ contains the nearest thing to a riff, occasionally reminiscent of Sleep’s ‘Dopesmoker‘ or the intro to ‘Breaking Into Heaven‘ by the Stone Roses (that musical duality) as it drifts in and out on a wave of psychedelic distortion. Fans of Amorphous Androgenous will dig this and it is by far the heaviest track on the record.
It is all suitably schizophrenic; discordant, disjointed, disruptive, disorienting and frantic (and that is just the first minute of ‘Horseback Headspin’ before it peels off into an ambient reverb drenched paranoia, like the slow drift into Colonel Kurtz’s lair) or, on the pulsing loops of ‘Shall We Start Over’ which is like a gentle migraine, at times barely audible save for a breezy electronica that brings to mind ‘Monolith‘ by the Beta Band. It’s the cleanest recording here with barely any extraneous noise merging seamlessly into ‘Dancing Towards Infinity’, seemingly built around its own echoes before descending into hellish and disturbing effect-laden feedback. It’s cognitive anti-therapy.
In fact, the whole of Lost Landscapes is a kind of dissonant journey. Far from the literal commute. It’s a fraught journey of contradictions that shouldn’t get you anywhere but does, it will make you think of records you’ve never listened to for years (and of wholly disparate genres). An intention to create tangents of thought, or a blissful monotony. It’s a dark and introspective journey, most certainly at night with the headlights off but when it peaks, which it does just enough, it’s like a beautiful phosphorescence or a night blooming flower in the road.
The self released Lost Landscapes is released on 31st August.

Microsoft to honor Yahoo policy and delete search data after 3 months
January 23, 2010
(ChattahBox) – The planned 10-year search and advertising partnership between Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. is set to go through later this year, if it gets past antitrust reviews. Earlier this week, Microsoft complied with the EU’s request to cut down search data retention to six months, to fight fraud, secure systems and meet legal obligations. Until now, the software giant has retained that data for 18 months, while Google still retains data for 9 months. But for the partnership, Microsoft will have to follow Yahoo’s policy of keeping search data and delete any personal data it gets from Yahoo after three months.
“Microsoft will follow Yahoo’s privacy practices for search data that it receives from Yahoo,” Brendon Lynch, Microsoft’s senior director of privacy strategy, wrote in an e-mail to eWEEK. “In particular, Microsoft will adhere to Yahoo’s data retention policy with respect to all searches and IP addresses that Yahoo collects and passes to Microsoft.”
The European Commission set a Feb. 19 deadline for its review that will allow Microsoft full access to Yahoo’s search engine so it can be used to help enhance its own search engine, Bing. Yahoo in return assumes exclusive worldwide sales duties for both companies’ search advertisers. Antitrust regulators in the U.S. are also reviewing the planned partnership, as it would effectively reduce the market to two internet search engine players.

The Royal Library of the Netherlands, KB, founded in 1798, has a vast collection of publications, including books, magazines, maps and newspapers, concerning the Netherlands since the 15th century. This valuable cultural heritage of the Netherlands is preserved under precisely the right climate conditions. To maintain these conditions during major maintenance, Polygon was asked to supply temporary cooling to continue to condition the archive warehouse seamlessly.
The Library needed a temporary climate solution for nine weeks to coincide with the disconnection of their existing air treatment installation by Maintenance E&W Installations. Thanks to excellent collaboration in the past, Patrick van Dijk, the Project Leader, reached out to Polygon Netherlands. Polygon’s positive reputation for completing earlier projects during the construction of the new building and maintenance work resulted in this referral.
Gerard de Mol, Mechanical Engineer at the Central Government Real Estate Agency, coordinated the integral design. "It is important for the Central Government Real Estate Agency that we can still carry out work on the installation without disrupting the Library. To guarantee the continuity of spatial conditions of the library warehouses during maintenance work, we devised a design together with Polygon for a temporary facility.”
“First we looked at the specific wishes of the customer and the technical (im)possibilities, and then we engineered a plan with all stakeholders involved. Of course, the risks and safety of the environment and the object were central here,” says Eddy van Oers, Regional Manager at Polygon Netherlands, who worked on this project.
The Royal Library is in the centre of The Hague, surrounded by residential towers and a tram track. Because the temporary climate solution proposed by Polygon had to be lifted onto the roof of the building with a crane, it was essential to plan the installation in detail and also devise an appropriate conditioning plan.
Together, the Royal Library, the Central Government Real Estate Agency, the crane company Nederhoff, the contractor JP van Eesteren and installation company Unica needed to establish the ideal solution within three to four weeks to meet the desired disconnection date. The preparation of the delivery of the equipment and the installation itself took about three days. Polygon Netherlands installed a cooling machine IC770 and air handler AH25 to provide cooling within the structure.
Following the installation of the equipment, the Polygon team (Steven van der Pijl, Kevin van Geel and Bram van Weenen from Polygon Netherlands) worked quickly to connect the machines, with flexible hoses, to the air treatment system of the building via a passage in the facade. In just one day, the team secured Polygon’s solution.
To demonstrate the work’s importance and satisfaction with the work delivered, all parties involved received a tour, arranged by Patrick van Dijk. E.e.a. in consultation with Foekje Boersma, Head of collection preservation at KB.
“When you look behind the scenes in our warehouses, it becomes evident how large the collection is. We take the care and security of our physical National Library collection very seriously. A suitable solution was found together with Polygon for the challenge we faced. The cooperation was pleasant and everyone performed the work well,” Patrick van Dijk, Project Leader at Maintenance E&W Installations, concludes.

As Maya Angelou once said “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter many defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” Graduating in 2001 as a medical student, I thought I had finally received the badge to practice medicine. Little did I know at that time about the long and arduous journey that lay before me. Through this journey, I have learned to appreciate the art of practicing medicine. Moreover, I understood the irreplaceable role of a mother and learnt how to balance family life and career.
I came to US in 2004 alone and to support myself, I found a job as a medical assistant in a doctor’s office. The political upheaval surrounding September 2001 resulted in the delay of my husband joining me. Living by myself in a new country although challenging, gave me resilience to withstand the odds. The work kept me going and these initial patient interactions as a medical assistant helped me develop my interpersonal relationship with the patients.
After my husband joined me I hoped things would get easier; however, I has wrong. Little was I prepared for the next set of challenges that I had to break through. Because of my husband’s education and training, we moved to three different cities over a span of five years. Furthermore, family responsibilities started increasing, and I decided to take a back seat to take care of my growing family. I missed the patient interactions and thought I would have to give up practicing medicine. In 2013 when my family moved to Plattsburgh, I got to be part of a small close-knit community. I started shadowing in a small clinic, and became aware about midlevel providers and their role in health care setting.
I found physician assistant profession interesting as they can work in several different disciplines and can change their specialty to their preference. Likewise, I got to see the interactions between doctors and midlevel providers and I understood the importance of team work in the delivery of health care. In the same year, I was employed in a primary care office. I could see two to three generation of patients, having established care under Dr. Lutinski. As a family physician, he spends a considerable time with his patients going over their history and evaluation. Family medicine is centered on the continuity of care, and my time spent with Dr. Lutinski has confirmed that this is my calling.
Living and working in Plattsburgh, I noted the lack of healthcare and realized the need for providers in rural communities. This has given me the impetus for pursuing a career as a physician assistant. Also, my role as a mother has inspired me to change my career path. I do love to help people lead healthy lives, but I have realized there is more to life than just practicing medicine. My family is my priority, and I love to practice medicine.
Therefore, physician assistant is a profession that will help me achieve that right balance between life and medicine. During this period, inspirational stories of women who dared to rise above their challenges continued to motivate me. Initially, I found it hard to balance my family responsibilities and career goal, but I have learnt to overcome them. Besides, managing my family responsibilities has horned my team work and multitasking skills. Lastly, medicine cannot be practiced independently, and patients benefits from healthcare providers working together as a team. As a physician assistant, I know I can be an integral part of this team.

Movie star, recording artist and good-living maven Gwyneth Paltrow is looking for a tutor for her two children.
The pay is spectacular, reports Britain’s Telegraph newspaper — $100,000 (or 62,000 pounds) annually for four hours work a day, and the deal includes accommodation, nine weeks of vacation, plus all kinds of travel, health care and medical perks.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, if you don’t have her prerequisite set of qualifications, don’t even bother applying.
Paltrow recently posted a “private tutor wanted” ad on a specialist website seeking the services of someone who possesses an almost impossible combination of skills and qualifications — a classical education — including Greek and Latin — fluency in at least three languages (preferably including Mandarin or Japanese), musical fluency with two instruments, and “passion” for sailing and tennis, art history or martial arts.
Contenders must also be “familiar with such elements as the history of thought from a philosophical perspective” — particularly useful to disengage Apple, 8, and Moses, 6, from their X-Box games and Transformer movies.
The lineup starts here.

A Big "Thank You" To Kristen, who submitted this as a guest post for us all to enjoy! I'm so thankful that some of the savings tips here at The Frugal Muse has helped Kristen and her family!
Before The Frugal Muse….. I paid
I now save coupons and stock up when there’s a big sale.
Before The Frugal Muse….. I didn’t even know that you could use a store AND a manufacturers coupon on the SAME item!
I am now bummed that Wal-Mart doesn’t have store coupons because I can save so much more elsewhere using both…
Before The Frugal Muse….. I might use a coupon, but pare it with a sale? If I was lucky!
I now can leave the store saving more than I spent…
Before The Frugal Muse….. I rarely shopped at Walgreens. It was much more pricey than Wal-Mart…
I now shop Walgreens and other “expensive” stores using manufacturer and store coupons, often leaving with the cashier still unsure if the computer had malfunctioned because of my total! ;)
Before The Frugal Muse….. I shopped Target – but didn’t save very much!
I now wish we had a Target closer – because I consistently save a significant amount combining manufacturer and store coupons with sales and clearance items – I recently spent $8 on $65 worth of stuff.
Before The Frugal Muse….. I began to panic when Thanksgiving rolled around and Christmas shopping barely had a dent in it…
I am now finishes with one child and well underway for the other two (including a Leap Frog Didj and four Didj games that I got for $40 (versus the $200+ retail)
Before The Frugal Muse….. I would pick up cleaning supplies as needed…
I now currently have 156 of the expensive dishwasher tabs in reserve. (And only paid $5.94 for them -- $41.04 retail!)
Before The Frugal Muse….. I would cringe when my husband told me his list of hygiene items that he was in need of – deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, body soap, shampoo, etc.
I now can smile as I walk to our “stockpile” and hand him everything on his list.
Before The Frugal Muse….. I wasn’t too excited about the lists that came home from school, church, etc. for hygiene items for the needy. Don’t they know how expensive they are?
I recently sent a shopping bag full of hygiene items full for a church missions trip and didn’t have to run out and put a dent in our budget at all!
Before The Frugal Muse….. I loathed the Box Tops for Education program. Don’t they realize those don’t come on the Great Value and Equate boxes?
I now have about 40 Box Tops (plus the ones that I haven’t clipped yet) already for the start of the school year from items from the past two months….
Before The Frugal Muse….. I would have apologized to the person behind me for using five coupons and taking so long.
I now hold my head high as the cashier scans my two inch stack of coupons and begin telling the people that it was worth it for the $50 or more dollars I just saved (and watch as they scramble into their purses to find something to write down the Frugal Muse address).
Thank you, Cherissa, for all the hardwork and time you spend sharing your “secrets” with the rest of us, so that we can also learn to be home economists for our families. I still have a long way to go and so much more to learn, but I am well on my way. J

On-Air Promo Campaign | Art Direction
SVP design: Erik Friendman, VP Design: Christina Black, Creative Director: Mlody Regnier, Design: Jen Epstein, 3D Design & Modeling: Justin Acree, David Winkfield
We wanted to integrate previously shot green screen footage of the cast with NYC. Since we’d used the footage in a season 3 campaign, we wanted to make sure that the graphic treatment and animation felt fresh. Since the theme of this season was about power struggle and positions of power shifting, we felt like the best way to reinforce that would be to have a constantly shifting horizon and frame. The graphic nature of the city and footage kept the compositions consistent and severe.
We explored everything from golden snakes to abstract stock markets to the art of katuski. Ultimately, we found our way back to NYC and using the buildings as a way to help tell the narrative.

This week's episode of Arrow was pretty crazy, with viewers being introduced to Barry Allen, a CSI investigator with a dark past who's a super-strong criminal who just so happens to be working for Brother Blood. But that was merely the first part of the midseason finale, which concludes next week with "Three Ghosts."
In anticipation, The CW has released two photos, a synopsis and the trailer for the episode.
Here's the episode's official synopsis from CW:
After a fight with Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver is drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity makes a risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows stronger. The Arrow asks Lance to look into Gold, but when the stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy is captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro).
The Arrow midseason finale airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

MOUNTAIN-TOP REGISTERS.; Sense and Nonsense Written on Them by Climbers of the Peaks.
The first placing of a register on a mountain top of New Hampshire was the act of Benjamin Osgood, who placed a roll, probably in a bottle, on Mount Adams on Aug. 12, 1854. Twelve years later, in 1866, it is said to have contained twenty names. At the present time an entire roll of the style now used, on which several hundred names may be inscribed, is required each year.

San Mateo Assistant City Attorney Bahar Adbollahi filled documents in San Mateo County Superior Court on Thursday that claim Peter Nepote has been “making gun gestures with his hand, flashing lights, honking his horn [*porn] for yelling at [police]” for years.
San Mateo police are “subjected to harassment, intimidation and disturbance” by Nepote’s actions, Absollahai wrote. “[Nepote’s behavior serves as a dangerous distraction which, unless restrained, may cause great irreparable injury to himself, the public or [police employees].”
The city said that for the last several years, Nepote has listen to the police radio and “memorize police officer call signs and followed police officers for extended periods of time.”
Adbollahi said that in 1994, three San Mateo police officers obtained restraining orders against the Nepote after he tried to follow them home.
Nepote, who couldn’t be reached for comment by the Post, lives on 1000 block of Bayswater Avenue in San Mateo.
Last month, Nepote called Officer Laura Ramirez at the San Mateo Police department to complain about a citation he received for honking his horn while another officer was making an arrest.
He allegedly told Officer Ramirez that he plans on coming to the San Mateo Police Department every night at 1 a.m.
According to court documents, Nepote threatened “to mess with” the police officers he was complaining about.
The police department claims its resources are being wasted by taking Nepote’s repeated phone calls and that fear of his actions make it difficult for officers to perform their duties.
“Public resources are wasted retrieving and analyzing is nonsensual and delusional reports,” Abdollahi wrote.
She argues that without a restraining order, Nepote will continue his harassing behavior. She said that he continues to interfere with police despite numerous attempts by officers to get him to stop.
*dragon dictation is not perfected just yet Lol.
In defense of Peter Nepote we have the US Supreme Court decision in City of Houston v. Hill – 482 U.S. 451 (1987)
“[a]ny person who shall, without provocation, use to or of another, and in his presence . . . opprobrious words or abusive language, tending to cause a breach of the peace . . . shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,”

IF the average Filipino is asked how the government may help him or her, he or she will say they need more income. What is evident in our economic structure, I ask? Ninety-five percent of the Philippine population and economy are composed of the employed earning a basic or minimum wage, and self-employed Filipino entrepreneurs. To augment their income, they usually involve themselves in some small backyard enterprises, micro-mini and or medium-scale ventures. Their startup funds usually get to develop the product and production. Market development, which allows them to scale up their income, usually becomes last in fiscal priorities. They seek additional funding, but the selection criteria to qualify for inclusion and assistance from financial institutions is complex and cumbersome. Meanwhile, the miserable, jaded and hungry Filipino loses hope. Paano na?
The good news is, there is a way. The conventional and or traditional marketing practice is to bring these products to trade shows or marketplaces. To entice foreign interest, a lot of government agencies aggregate and bring these products to trade shows abroad or come up with big shows and conventions here in our country to showcase these goods. The Department of Trade and Industry has put up about almost a hundred stalls all over the country to showcase the OTOP and other products they have nurtured and mentored. But again, this is intermittent and costs a lot.
An easier way would be a tech-overlay to cut marketing costs, ease ordering, maximize exposure and scale the business growth. My suggestion is to create/build/partner a government-spearheaded and -funded, organically developed, and maintained E-commerce platform like OLX and Amazon, which simplifies all this and arms anyone and everyone who needs the exposure. This must be free or with minimum fees and assists the people to provide access to market his/her products 24/7 here and abroad.
Why do I bring this up? The timing is right. President Duterte is very famous right now all over the world. He is our endorser. At the same time, he launches it, all embassies and consulates can and should echo this as they are the alter egos in their respective countries of assignment. Therefore, they should be in tune with and concentrate on the pro-poor policies of the government to serve the people and market this. It should also have a link in their web pages.
Another good news is payment integration is easy now with the proliferation of Fintech. Soon, a cheaper integrated online e-cash payment/remittance system by the Philippine Postal Bank will be in place. It has in its network all its postal offices and affiliate postal offices of other countries plus its 70-plus international banks. It is under the Land Bank and the DOF; a project of the President Duterte. This is the best move ever.
I am very sure every barangay executive will be happy to do the job in their constituencies of uploading the products in this government E-marketing/platform in the Phone Apps. Selling online is already here. This version of the Philippine goods/backyard handicrafts and services, or even skills sets is an “equal opportunity e-commerce marketing platform”. It is continuously online and eliminates the problem of warehousing expenses of the micro entrepreneur, office rent, rent in stalls in the mall, time and money spent on marketing, distribution. The champion of the masses, President Duterte, has highlighted the importance of giving to the poorest and championing the masses. So here goes a platform for the struggling poorest. They say teach a man to fish. Now the government anchors his product to the e-commerce mega highway! Its cost is barely a two-lane farm-to-market feeder road that will only probably service 500 automobiles in the next three years. But this helps all right now! Aggregating all the products and skill sets info is ready as all the government agencies already have the complete information. All the local chief executives will now have the perfect marketing tool to help each single constituency to showcase their skill sets, products and tourism areas.

In February 2007, Pat Flynn was working at an architecture firm making $38,000 a year. He mulled boosting his earning power by getting an architecture license, but the process would likely take six to eight years. When he heard about getting a credential in sustainable design and environmentally friendly building called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), he decided to go for that, as no one in his department had it. The one problem? The exam was so challenging, just one-third of test-takers passed.
The Hardy’s used a partner and tax director at an accounting firm with more than 40 years of experience to prepare and file their tax returns. In 2006 and 2007, the Hardy’s reported their income from MBJ as non-passive based on the CPA's professional judgment. They claimed a total disallowed loss and he determined that the income was non-passive based on MBJ's Schedule K-1 that it distributed to Hardy.
This is a very passive way of generating income, but the catch is that you need a lot of money to build this passive income machine. For example, you find a combination of dividend producing stocks & bonds (this also can be done with CD’s (and other cash equivalents) that you are comfortable with, the yield (or passive income) generated on the portfolio is 5%. In order to generate $50,000 a year in passive (dividend) income you would need $1,000,000 in your account. (CDs are FDIC insured up to $250,000 per depositor per insured depository institution.)
What I find most interesting is the fact that I had never considered options like LendingTree or realityshares for other income sources. Investing in property has been too much of bad luck for people that I know personally, so I am interesting in getting involved in a situation where I would have to be dealing with maintenance issues or tenants. There are services for you to do that, but I had not come across any that didn’t eat most if not all of the earnings. Then again, I live in the NY area. Investing in the midwest would not be reasonably possible for me, directly, but reading about realityshares is something I am going to look into further. That might be a real possibility.
When I did her recent tax return she had $45,000 in passive losses from the rentals and $35,000 in income from her S-Corporation. I called her and found out how many hours she had only worked for three months in her S-Corp, which was less than 500/750 hours per year. I changed the nature of the income from the S-Corporation to passive, thereby eating up the passive losses from the rental.
This one may seem simple, but that’s only because it is. If you were to move your savings from a traditional, brick-and-mortar bank with a low-interest rate and into a high-yield savings account online, over time you can make a surprising amount of extra cash. Online banks are FDIC-insured just like the traditional brick-and-mortar institutions, so your money is just as safe.
Let me disabuse you of that notion right now: making money online is not so easy and you actually have to know what you’re doing. 10 years ago when self-publishing was booming and affiliate marketing was in its infancy, you could get rich with some sketchiness. Those days are long gone now. Self-publishing has matured and it’s far, far harder to propel your way up the all-important rankings. Google has come down hard on the spam and if there’s any hint of that on your websites, you’ll get penalized which means no search engine traffic sent your way. This is the death of the Internet marketer.
In order to generate $10,000 in Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) through a rental property, you must own a $50,000 property with an unheard of 20% net rental yield, a $100,000 property with a rare 10% net rental yield, or a more realistic $200,000 property with a 5% net rental yield. When I say net rental yield, I’m talking about rental income minus all expenses, including a mortgage, operating expenses, insurance, and property taxes.
Build a list in a particular niche and tell them stories. Create a bond. Build a relationship with them. It's important. Then, when you've created a bit of culture, start marketing affiliate products or services to them that you think they might like. Just be sure that you personally vet out whatever it is that you're selling to avoid complaints if the product or service falls short.
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is another model that has been gaining popularity in recent months. The major difference from the model that I described above is that instead of shipping it to a warehouse, you ship it directly to Amazon. For a cut of the money on each sale (and they also charge storage costs), they package it all up and send out your order. You make less money than doing it yourself, however once set up, it does have the hands-off factor going for it.
Anthony, nice setup! To your question about the rental mortgages, you haven’t said what interest rate you are paying. As a start, if you are paying more than the risk free rate (Treasury bills) which you probably are, then a true apples to apples comparison would be yes, pay off the mortgage. But, if you are comfortable taking more risk, you have other options to invest in which you *hope* will yield you more over the coming years. You also didn’t say whether the rentals generate net income and if so, how much? What is the implied rate of return on the equity you have invested in them? If you pay the mortgages off, you’ll have even more equity tied up, will the extra net income make that worthwhile? Maybe you should use the money to buy more rentals instead, if purchase opportunities still exist in your town. … this is less of an answer than a framework to analyze the decision, hope it is helpful.
The activity is a significant participation activity, and you participated in all significant participation activities for more than 500 hours. A significant participation activity is any trade or business activity in which you participated for more than 100 hours during the year and in which you didn’t materially participate under any of the material participation tests, other than this test. See Significant Participation Passive Activities , under Recharacterization of Passive Income, later.
Do you know what the single biggest threat to your financial well-being is? The answer is your own brain. They’re people who listened to the Unshakeable by Tony Robbins’ audiobook along with having read the book and they still might become victims to a form of financial self-sabotage. The thing is, for a lot of us, losing all our money and everything we own, especially in one shot, feels a lot like dying. That’s why 80% of success is psychology and the other 20% is mechanics.
I just started out with Affiliate Marketing (idea # 8) and it is not as easy as people make out to be. For me, the hardest part so far, is learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and driving traffic to my website. I’m only 3 months into it, but I am confident that the site will begin to generate some incom., I have to give it 6-9 months, so we’ll see.


A decade-long record of nearly all of Greenland’s major glaciers suggests that Earth’s sea levels may not rise as dramatically over the next century as some studies have predicted as ice from those glaciers melts or calves off into the sea.
The new findings, reported in the 4 May issue of the journal Science, show that Greenland’s glaciers are not currently on track to raise the planet’s sea level 2 meters (6.6 feet) by 2100—the worst-case scenario of some predictive models. But if ice loss in that region continues to accelerate, researchers say that the world’s sea level could still rise up to 0.8 meters (2.6 feet) by the end of the century.
“With our observations of Greenland glaciers, we don’t see any evidence at this point that we will reach the worst-case scenario,” explained Science author Twila Moon of the University of Washington. “But, unfortunately, there is no ‘good-case’ scenario when it comes to sea level rise.”
Moon and colleagues found that different types of glaciers across Greenland display very different patterns of ice loss. Depending on where they are located, the glaciers grow and shrink at various rates.

The researchers combined data from several satellites to produce velocity maps that tracked the movement and speed of more than 200 glaciers in Greenland between the years 2000 and 2010. Their record illustrates the complexity of Greenland’s ice flow and reveals how those glaciers have evolved so far in the 21st century.
After a comprehensive report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007 made it clear that scientists did not fully understand the dynamics of ice sheet behavior as they relate to climate change, many researchers turned their attention to the issue. And a few years later, after considering the range of ice sheet behavior that might be possible, scientists had come up with some predictions for the next 100 years.
According to those early predictions, melting of the world’s ice sheets was set to raise the global sea level by at least 0.2 meters and possibly as much as 2 full meters by the year 2100. However, this new study of Greenland’s glaciers indicates that a 2-meter rise is rather unlikely.
Moon and her colleagues do not discuss the impacts of sea level rise in their report. However, a 2007 study from the United National Environment Programme suggested that a 1-meter (a little more than 3 feet) rise in global sea level could threaten 145 million people worldwide, especially in densely populated, low-lying deltas in southeast Asia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent.

The authors of the new study in Science point out that various glaciers, whether they are land-, marine-, or ice shelf-terminating glaciers, contribute different amounts to sea level rise. For example, glaciers that terminate at the sea generally affect sea level more than those that dump ice off onto land.
“These glaciers act as conveyor belts that move ice from the interior of the ice sheet out to the glaciers’ far end, or terminus,” said Moon. “Some glaciers… end on the land instead of connecting to the ocean, and they might be analogous to a stream that leaves the lake but dries up before getting to the ocean. Such land-terminating glaciers are relatively slow-moving and don’t calve icebergs into the ocean.”
“In contrast, most Greenland glaciers end at the ocean, actually bringing ice all the way to the water,” she continued. “These marine-terminating glaciers calve off large icebergs into the ocean, and once that ice has been added to the ocean it contributes to sea level rise. Such marine-terminating glaciers tend to move quickly and the regions with more of them tend to be where most ice is lost from the ice sheet.”
The researchers also discuss another category of glaciers, known as ice shelf-terminating glaciers. They are similar to marine-terminating glaciers in that they haul ice all the way to the ocean, but instead of calving off right away, these glaciers extend out and create a long, floating ice shelf.

Effect of Processing Methods of Toasting, Soaking, Boiling, Sprouting On Dietary Fibre and Antinutrient Contents of African Yam Bean and Red Kidney Bean Flour (Published)
The effect of boiling, toasting sprouting and soaking were on dietary Fibre and anti-nutrients in African yam bean and red kidney beans were studied. The samples were grouped into five. The first group was the control (raw). The second, third, fourth and fifth were respectively boiled, toasted, sprouted and soaked. The samples were later subjected to laboratory analysis to evaluate their dietary fibre and antinutrient contents. Results indicate significant (p<0.05) increase in dietary fibre of African yam bean (1.95) and red kidney bean (3.11%). Boiling, sprouting and soaking caused increase in dietary fibre (2.39%), 2.17% and 23% respectively while only boiling and sprouting let to significant (p<005) increase above that of the raw in red kidney bean. Generally all the anti nutrients were significantly reduced by boiling, toasting, sprouting and soaking in both African yam bean and red kidney bean.


There are different ways to having things cached and they effect the ways things are viewed. Here are the broad strokes of caching.
Things can be cached on your computer and on the web server.
On the internet is the website server holding your website. Every time somebody views your website, the page is dynamically created with looking up items in a database and then piecing it all together. But doing this every time slows things down, so different levels of caching techniques are employed to speed things up! If you had us set up some advanced fine tuned caching for ultimate speed, in scenarios where it makes sense the whole page maybe be rendered (does this the first time you visit the page) and then that pre-rendered page is stored in a safe place. When another user views that page, it then shows that page unless the web server is instructed at the administrative level to clear that cache. This caching is part of what makes our websites so fast.
Doing caching is what super speeds websites up, but doing it right is an art form and takes a higher level of technical expertise and talent. So when setting up caching, its always best to have professional set it up.
Hope it all makes sense


Trump's inauguration draws Yorkers for 'pivotal' moment
- Chairman of the county Republican Committee and a former delegate will be in D.C. for Trump's inauguration.
- The two look forward to attending and for Trump's presidency.
Some Yorkers are making the trek to Washington, D.C., next week to see President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, and one of them expects it will usher in "the most pivotal presidency in modern history."
Alex Shorb, chairman of the York County Republican Committee, and Matthew Jansen, a Spring Grove school board member and a delegate to last summer's Republican National Convention, will be attending the Jan. 20 event.
Shorb will be heading down alone. Although he said he would love to go with a group of locals, he's still working out travel plans and searching for others who are going.
Shorb said he decided to go because of the historic nature of the election. "I just like to see those aspects of democracy take place," he added.
Jansen was originally unsure if he would attend the inauguration. It's expensive to try to stay in D.C. during such a busy weekend, and the security could be a hassle, he said.
He committed to attending after he learned a friend from San Diego, whom he met during the GOP convention, was making the trip.
"I'm two hours from Washington, D.C., so there's really no reason for me not to go," Jansen said. He also will be attending the parade that will take place after the inauguration and the inaugural ball.
Shorb and Jansen both said they were excited to see the inauguration and about what Trump's presidency could bring. Jansen said the inauguration would be "one for the history books," and that those in attendance will get a lot out of the event.
Despite criticism of Trump for his actions toward women and his tendency to lash out on Twitter, Shorb favors his blunt personality.
"Quite frankly I like everything about him," Shorb said. "I think it starts with the no-nonsense way he speaks."
Shorb did admit he is curious to see how Trump transitions from working in business to working in politics, two very different arenas. While he doesn't want Trump to change, he does hope to see him grow into the role of president.
The only thing Jansen said he's concerned about is the possibility Trump won't be able to accomplish everything he promised while campaigning.
Jansen said it's most important to him that Trump immediately tackle immigration reform and putting up a wall between Mexico and the U.S.
Otherwise, he said, he's excited about the president-elect's Cabinet picks and believes Trump's presidency will be a time of reconstruction for the country.
"I think Trump's presidency will be the most pivotal presidency in modern history," he said.
Trump's inaugural swearing-in ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. on the Capitol steps, after which the inaugural parade will take place.
The York Dispatch will be covering Donald Trump's inauguration as well as the Women's March on Washington. If you're a York County resident attending either, please reach out to reporter Alyssa Pressler at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter, @AlyssaPressYD, or the Dispatch's Twitter, @YorkDispatch, for constant updates the days of the events.
