March 2016 at Lowder Regional Library
The Ladies of High Tea will be meeting Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 3PM and reading Hidden Riches by Felicia Mason.
After a lifetime spent scrubbing and mending for others, Ana Mae Futrell has passed away. Her siblings have reluctantly returned to their North Carolina hometown to bury the older sister they never really bothered to know. For instance, they didn’t know she’d won big on a lottery ticket. Or that she had a son. But back to the money—Ana Mae’s millions will go only to the person who can interpret the clues she’s left behind in a quilt. Should they all fail, the fortune goes to Diamond Jim and Baby Sue—Ana Mae’s cats—and a Reverend with whom Ana Mae shared a “special” relationship. . .
Ana Mae’s two sisters and brother hadn’t really thought about Ana Mae in years, but now, with bills to pay, marriages on the line, and secrets ready to spill, she’s all they can think about. And as the race to win begins, everyone involved finds there’s more to gain than money. Because they’re each going to learn a little something about Ana Mae—and a whole lot more about themselves. . .
The Lowder Regional Branch Library Chess club meets every Saturday, from 10AM to 1245—sharp. In the event that the club is not meeting a sign will be posted as soon as possible announcing the postponement. Join us and learn how to play chess or to brush up on your skills. Parents, chess is a game that will help build the brain and help your child with their future education—not to mention that it teaches patience as well.
Don’t forget Gamer’s Club is the Second Friday of the month 4PM-5PM. There is a limited number of slots available and pre-registration is required and a signed permission slip must be on file. Parents must stay in the library while children are playing.
On the third Friday of the month, 4PM-5PM, the Lowder Lego League, has fun in the meeting room. Due to fire regulations we have to also limit the number of participants for this event as well so pre-registration is required.
Lowder Staff continues an eight-week Job Search/Job Preparedness Workshop from 630pm -830pm each Monday through April 11, 2016. If interested please visit the Circulation Desk at Lowder to see if space is still available to pick up with the rest of the group.

Editorial Reviews. Review. “A positively delightful story from a master yarn spinner!” –William Living with the Lama – Kindle edition by T. Lobsang Rampa. THIS WORK IS PROOF THAT ANIMALS ARE NOT THE ‘DUMB CREATURES’ MANY PEOPLE MAKE THEM OUT TO BE! This book is NOT a work of fiction, but .

There are three other books which have maliciously used the name of T.
I will highlight these books as they can confuse – they are. This book should not have been published really, but I am prepared to believe that you published in good faith under the assumption that I was in South America and so not available.
To regularise your position I suggest this; you make two alterations as requested by me, and I will give you permission to publish and sell the book. Liiving am sure,all T Lobsang Rampa reader’s wiith no doubt find this book very hard to except.
There are too many anomalies to the book for it to be genuine and when Madam Blavatsky is mentioned I think the culprit could very well be the Theasophical Society. The journey they go on to get to “Agharta”is so bazaar and far fetched that nobody could believe it, the sad thing is that the second half of the book is genuine.
Definite excerpts of his books have been used to compleat the book and make it look authentic. Don’t be fooled ilving this attempt to copy Rampa, he died on Jan 25 and he told us all there will be no more from him, not even new found manuscripts and for the record, he published nineteen books not twelve as this latest book ramps us. Please mr publisher lets have them all reprinted, mine are getting a bit tatty.
We are shown a glimpse into the Tibetan way of Lamasery life and the deep understanding of spiritual knowledge. Until this point in time lamasery life was unknown, even lobsaang those few who had actually visited Tibet. Lobsang joins The Chakpori Lamasery and learns the most secret of Tibetan esoteric sciences and much more Here he furthered his medical studies; learns to fly a plane, getting captured and tortured by the Japanese.
Lobsang spent much time living in concentration camps as the medical officer until the day he escaped. Lobsang was one of the very few people to survive the first atomic bomb lqma on Hiroshima. Exercise in breathing to improve ones well being. Lobsang endures capture and torture until he once again, escapes by driving luxury cars. In this book Lobsang inhabits transmigration the body of an English man Cyril Henry Hoskins eager to leave this world, enabling Lobsang to continue his special task.
This technology is waiting for those who can use it for the benefit of mankind, that time is drawing near Animals are not dumb creatures as many humans think, we are ones who are dumb in comparison as all animals – with the exception of most humans – can calk to each other by simple telepathy.
Fifi tell of her life before meeting Lobsang and they journeys they took together You Forever – The first of two self-training books in metaphysics. This book explains in clear simple terms how to start learning certain metaphysics and the dos and don’t in achieving that goal.
Astral travel, Telepathy, clairvoyance and Auras. Wisdom of the Ancients – The second of two self-training books in metaphysics. In this book Lobsang explains the meaning or many occult words in an understandable format for Western People. More exercises on breathing, stones, diets and why you shouldn’t exercise. Lobsang also answers questions about religion and Christianity. Some herbal remedies for common ailments.
Starting point for those wishing to know how to take real Aura pictures. Feeding the Flame – The first ten books was trying to light the candle, now we have to feed the flame of life. Thr readers questions answered. Absolute proof of reincarnation by quoting a instance in history and explaining that event in detail Lobsang talks in detail about homosexuality including comments from a homosexual. The Overself explained in greater detail and quells the misconception about lana Guides’.
How to astral travel Candlelight – In this book Lobsang tells us about pendulums and how to use them, Zodiacs. More questions and answers to many of life’s mysteries Twilight – Lobsang explains astral travel and it’s levels.
His move to Calgary and more answers to life mysteries and the biggest mystery of our ‘Hollow Earth’ in more detail. As It Was – As it was then – as it is now – and what’s to possible come. The ‘Press’ and losbang attitude and Disposing of bodies Tibetan style.
Woman’s Liberation and where women went wrong. Three Lives – The cycle of lives by three very different people and what they would perceive as death because of their beliefs.
We follow each path and see how rampaa journeys terminate at the same rqmpa – albeit a scenic route for some. The direct path is in front yet; mankind continually takes the scenic route. Dr Rampa recalls experiences with his guide in the ‘inner temple’ the cave pama the ancients. How the world started, how it going and the evils of petroleum which is NOT a fossil fuel. Lobsang’s final words before departing this world in January aged over a hundred years old.
This book contains a lifetime of valuable information on all aspects of the occult by the one writer who has turned on millions of individuals to the mystical side of life in Tibet. Lobsang Rampa delves deep into the magical realm of the human soul and its immortality. This is a book that all students of the Tibetan sage will come to cherish.
It contains information NOT found in any of his other popular works. Meditating taps into the subconscious which is a source of insurmountable knowledge.
One thing to remember it’s NOT possible to meditate in groups and you MUST have a meditation robe to isolate yourself from external influences. See ‘Meditation’ livimg more information. Further information is in his book called ‘You Forever’ I have since discovered that La,a. Rampa wasn’t totally happy about this recording, perhaps because of the wording ‘Give’. The ilving understanding of the word ‘Give’ differs from the eastern. If you gampa the word ‘Give’ with the word ‘Grant’ it’s more acceptable in western terms because you are requesting ‘Powers’ and NOT demanding.
Remember; the teacher arrives only when the student is ready, there is no fast-track just because you demand something. Ra-Ab tell us of when Sindhi – a blind cat – jointed the family and how Miss Ku-ei was her guide until she knew the layouts of the rooms by heart. Mr Monkey joins the family. Tigerlily Life before Lobsang and the cats.
This is RA’AB’s second book. Autumn Lady Her final book in English I believe. It’s original name was Wild Brair. This is RA’AB’s forth book. El Testamento de Lobsang Rampa originally written in Spanish and I have only ramppa a link to the book. This was a summery of Lobsang’s life from her point of view. This is RA’AB’s fifth and last book. Sheelagh was known as ‘Buttercup’ in his books. Sheelagh tells us about the time she first met Dr.
Living with the Lama – T. Lobsang Rampa – Google Books
Rampa, the struggles they all endured – especially against the press who’s only interest is in selling newspapers at any cost – even if it means printing vile lies without letting those being persecuted defend themselves in any way. Their numerous travels – the sad sudden death of feline Fifi – and how she had to split company with Dr Rampa so he could depart to the heavenly fields. You can also discover the outcome of Lobsang’s personal predictions for Sheelagh.
This is NOT an autobiography of Dr Rampa, it is a privileged insight into their very private lives through Sheelagh eye’s. Author Karen Mutton has done exceptionally well here – in fighting Lobsang’s corner – lobwang us about the continuously persecution of the press that Lobsang and his family endured and conformation fhe other academics which corroborates Lobsang’s books, witu the outcome of rakpa many predictions – we who loved his work never disbelieved what he wrote or said, sadly many did and still do.
A marvellous essay in which Sheelagh Rouse offers further insight into the very private life of Dr Rampa and his very clear views on helping others.
Buttercup also clarifies once and for all the many scandalous rumours that have circulated over the years regarding Dr Rampa.

Minneapolis to Celebrate Lung Cancer Survivors, Cutting-Edge Research
(April 12, 2018) -
For more information please contact:
Every five minutes, a woman in the U.S. is told that she has lung cancer and one in four women will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetimes. Because of these startling facts, the American Lung Association in Minnesota is hosting the third annual Oxygen Ball on May 11, an event to raise awareness about lung cancer, and celebrate survivors and advancements in research.
“Over the last 30 years, the rate of new lung cancer cases in women has increased 94 percent and the number of women who die from the disease has doubled,” said Greg Voss, the executive director for the Lung Association in Minnesota. “This event will raise awareness about lung cancer, but also celebrate lung cancer survivors and the incredible advancements in research and treatment options.”
Oxygen Ball is held during national Women’s Lung Health Week, an annual observance from May 6 – 12, and just two days before Mother’s Day. The event is held at International Square Marketplace, and will include a cocktail hour, silent auction, plated dinner, inspirational speakers, a live band and more. Almost 90 cents of every dollar raised will go to the Lung Association’s programs and services, including research, advocacy and public health education.
Tickets, table reservations and sponsorships for the 2018 Oxygen Ball are currently available online or by calling the Lung Association in Minnesota at 651-227-8014.
About the American Lung Association
The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, through research, education and advocacy. The work of the American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families; and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.

ANTI-WAR activists gathered in London on Saturday to condemn US plans for a missile defence system in Europe.
At a CND conference named Europe Against US Missile Defence, delegates also attacked Britain’s intention to spend £40 billion on renewing the Trident missile system despite opposition across the political spectrum.
Conference heard that US plans to install so-called “defensive” missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic are designed to create international instability and tension in order to spark a new cold war.
CND parliamentary committee chairman Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn said: “We are not going to be divided by US bilateral negotiations designed to create conflict. This is a chronic waste of money and a reigniting of cold-war strategy still present within the Pentagon.”
Representing the Czech Social Democrats, Ivona Novomestska added: “The Czech people have to have a referendum on this and the strategy employed by the government is silence in order to stop people from opposing the plans.”
The conference also praised Russia’s decision not to retaliate by stationing missiles on the Polish border.
In a sign that Moscow could be seeking better ties with the new US administration, it was reported last week that the Russian military had halted plans to deploy its Iskander missile system.
Moscow had previously threatened to install the system in Russia’s western outpost of Kaliningrad as a response to any deployment of the US missile shield in eastern Europe.
Labour MP Michael Connarty said: “As the Soviet Union was forced by the US to spend a fortune on armaments instead of investing in social projects, which brought about its collapse, the same thing is happening to Russia.
“This is a direct invitation from Russia for negotiations.”
CND chairwoman Kate Hudson noted that the structure of power in the world is changing.
“We have to accept a multipolar world with no superpower,” she said.
Delegates also raised the question of whether US President Barack Obama will actually bring about a much-needed change in US foreign policy.

The London Paste Up Festival has launched in Shoreditch. Over 200 paste up artists from across the world have contributed artworks pasted across a number of locations. Launching with an exhibition at the Hoxton Gallery, the festival is the first of it’s kind to take place in London.
London is already well known for it’s paste ups. The Brick Lane area in particular has attracted artists for years and is constantly changing. For the London Paste Up Festival a number of newer locations have been introduced near the Old Street area. Some temporary, others may well last a little longer. The area around Dereham Place in particular has the potential to become a key location.
Paste Ups in London
Organised by London based art agencies ‘Art House Project‘ and ‘Outside the Zone‘ there was a real desire to do something that hadn’t been done before. Paste up art is an integral part of a healthy street art environment but it often gets overlooked. Attention often going to the larger set piece murals which in turn draw the attention of photographers and tour groups.
“Our aim is to introduce paste-ups as a form of street art to a wider audience through this international festival” says Apparan from the Art House Project. “We want to give the paste up community some well-deserved recognition on the London street art scene”.
London Paste Up Festival Locations
For the London International Paste Up Festival a number of new locations have been introduced. Managed by Outside the Zone these are areas which have already played host to a number of differing artworks over the years but never paste ups. The area of Dereham Place however is completely new. Covering the entire length of the street it has been covered in an impressive array of artworks.
Old Street Billboards
The London International Paste Up Festival runs throughout November 2021 at locations around the Shoreditch area. The festival opened with an event at the Hoxton Gallery at 4 November 2021.

Two Charged with TennCare Fraud in Humphreys Co. Indictments
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two mid-state residents are charged with TennCare fraud in separate indictments from Humphreys County. Both cases involve prescription drugs.
Markus is charged with two counts of TennCare fraud in connection with using TennCare benefits to obtain the painkiller Percocet on two separate occasions and selling a portion of the drugs to a confidential informant.
Francis is charged with TennCare fraud and obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. He is accused of obtaining a prescription for Percocet, using TennCare benefits to pay for the prescription and later selling the drugs to an undercover operative.
“We continue to battle incidents of people misusing TennCare benefits to obtain drugs for non-medical use or to sell,” Inspector General Manny Tyndall said. “We are taking a ‘zero tolerance’ message across Tennessee and we’re aggressively enforcing it.”
TennCare fraud and forgery are both Class E felonies, carrying a sentence of up to two years in prison. Obtaining a controlled substance is a Class D felony that carries a sentence of up to four years in prison. District Attorney Ray Crouch, Jr., is prosecuting.
The OIG, which is separate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and has investigated cases leading to over $5 million being repaid to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of over $176 million for TennCare, according to latest figures. To date, 2,227 people have been charged with TennCare fraud.
Through the OIG Cash for Tips Program established by the Legislature, Tennesseans can get cash rewards for TennCare fraud tips that lead to convictions. Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 1-800-433-3982 toll-free from anywhere in Tennessee, or log on to www.tn.gov/tnoig/ and follow the prompts that read "Report TennCare Fraud."

Sharp rise in Moroccan produce exports to Spain
Spain's imports of Moroccan fruit and vegetables grew 31% year-on-year in 2017, making the North African country the market's leading foreign supplier.

It’s 1964 and you’re living in Virginia, getting ready to attend the New York World’s Fair. You hop in your first-model-year Ford Mustang and cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. On your way, you stop at one of Wawa’s first stores. And to maintain your coastal route, you drive your ‘Stang onto the brand new Cape May-Lewes Ferry, which transports you and the car from Lewes, Delaware, across the Delaware Bay to Cape May, New Jersey, a trip that could take twice as long on the road.
That transportation innovation is the subject of a new WHYY documentary, “Billion Mile Journey: The Cape May-Lewes Ferry,” airing Wednesday night on WHYY-TV. It chronicles the political wrangling that led up to the ferry’s opening, what Delaware and New Jersey got out of the deal, and how use of the ferry has changed over the last 50 years.
“People were looking for a better way to connect one community to the other,” said John Mussoni, executive producer of “Billion Mile Journey” and managing editor of WHYY’s Wilmington bureau.
For the film, Mussoni and his team collected hours of interviews with ferry workers and riders, getting a glimpse at the culture the Cape-May Lewes Ferry has spawned.
“Ferry people are kind of like railroad people,” he said. “People who love railroads love railroads. These people really love this boat.”
To hear WHYY Morning Edition host Jennifer Lynn’s full conversation with Mussoni, click the audio above. To see “Billion Mile Journey,” tune in to WHYY-TV tonight at 10 p.m.

They also recommend that providing proper care to the eyes is one of the preventive measures that can help. But, those who cannot take preventive action can rely on herbal treatment for eye vision improvement.

UPDATE (Thursday, April 3, 2014) — The May 2014 Election Propositions web page includes more detailed information and conceptual design research and options for the proposed joint Town Hall and Police Facility.
UPDATE (Monday, March 3, 2014) — The Town is finalizing contract negotiations for the proposed joint Police/Town Hall facility property. The 5.2 acre property, located at 1000 Trophy Club Drive, is owned by Club Corp Golf of Texas, LP and physically located between the Quorum Apartments and The Commons. This property currently houses the Trophy Club Country Club tennis courts and swimming pool. Contract specifics continue to be negotiated and the contract amount will be released at a later date.
On Wednesday, February 26, 2014, the Town Council voted to amend the May 2014 Election ordinance and add a proposition to the ballot considering an $11.7M General Obligation (GO) bond in order to design and build a joint Town Hall and Police Facility, and make structural improvements to the existing Public Services building. The proposition under consideration would not increase the current tax rate to service the proposed debt.
Council also repealed the initial Notice of Intention to issue $9.5M of Certificates of Obligation (COs) and adopted a new Notice of Intention for $2.5M in COs. The $2.5M is intended for the purchase of property for the future joint Police/Town Hall facility.
More information will be available soon in regards to proposed preliminary plans and design concepts.
Existing Facility Conditions
All municipal property designated for administration is owned by the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (TC MUD). The Town currently owns one building, the Public Services Building (where the Court and Permitting offices are located), but the building sits on TC MUD property. Parks equipment is housed in a shared TC MUD building located adjacent to the waste water treatment plant and the Streets equipment is housed in a TC MUD building/yard located behind the ground water storage tanks near the administration building.
A feasibility study was completed in September 2013 and includes an analysis of the existing building facilities, future departmental needs assessment based on total Trophy Club build out, site matrix and site analysis.
The current 6,000 square-foot Police Station was built in 1995 and cost approximately $200,000. The building construction consists of five pre-fabricated modular units secured together with a brick façade and leveled with jack stands and cinder blocks. In 2013 the Town committed almost $100K to rehab the building with the intent of extending the life of the current facility until a permanent facility is built. An alternative to rehabbing the police building included renting office space in town, which was cost prohibitive.
TC MUD notified the Town that the site where the police building currently sits is needed for a future ground water storage tank.
Currently, there is no true Town Hall, since the Town does not own the land or the main administrative building where the Town Council meets. The Town staff and TC MUD staff have cohabitated (upon TC MUD approval) in the Svore Municipal Building since 1985, when the Town incorporated. As Trophy Club grew so did the Town Staff, and in 2006 the Public Services Building (located between the Administrative Building and Police Station, on TC MUD property) was built by the Town to house both Town and TC MUD staff.
Today there are offices utilized as shared space between staff members, and the Street Department has been relocated to the Police Station. During high traffic events, parking is limited with no overflow parking option on site.
Future Facilities Planning
The site location (1000 Trophy Club Drive) allows for the construction of a joint facility with a 30 - 50 year life, and combining the facilities allows for shared space, i.e. joint training rooms, IT hardware, parking, public facilities, staffing, etc. Additional savings can be achieved by designing and constructing as one facility, rather than building two separate buildings. Since property is limited within Trophy Club, the Town must take full advantage of the available property in order to maximize the benefit for the citizens. The site layout will include space for future potential additions, such as a civic center.
Please note that this proposed election to issue $11.7M does not include the construction of a future civic center, which would be funded using Hotel Occupancy Tax.
Several years ago, the Town Council began identifying the need for a new Police Department facility and Town Hall. A long-term financial model was developed that would support the construction of new Town and Police facilities without raising citizen taxes. The Town began to defease debt obligations in the Summer of 2010, which freed up debt capacity, as well as saved the residents approximately $220K in future interest savings. Additionally, the citizens voted to create a Crime Control & Prevention District funded with $0.0025 (quarter-of-a-penny) sales tax, which would also help pay for a small portion of a new Police facility.
The Town has experienced growth over the past six years which has increased the Town’s tax base to over $1 Billion. In addition to financial planning, a portion of the recent development growth would allow the Town Council to issue bonds without impacting the current tax rate.
The Town Council does not anticipate issuing more than $10M of new debt in any given year in order to maintain its Bank Qualified status.
Note: The Town wants to stay under the $10M Bank Qualified limit in order to avoid a higher interest rate. Exceeding $10M in debt issuance in a single calendar year (not fiscal year) would increase the interest rate by approximately 0.5%.
Council Meeting Recap - February 26, 2014 Trophy Club Town Council Meeting Overview
The information below is not official minutes or record, only an update on agenda items and subsequent final action taken by Town Council.
- Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance amending Ordinance 2014-02 ordering and calling a Joint General and Special Election to be held on May 10, 2014 for the purpose of electing one (1) Mayor for a three (3) year term and two (2) Council Members for Place #1 and #2 to the Town Council for a three (3) year term each; for the purpose of electing one (1) Council Member for Place #3 to the Town Council to fill the remainder of an unexpired term of office of Place #3 created by a vacancy (Term Expiring May, 2015); and for the purpose of placing a proposition on the ballot relating to the reauthorization of the local sales and use tax at the rate of one-fourth of one percent (0.25) in order to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets for a specified period; providing that such amendment is being made in order to include information relative to Tarrant County election administration and polling locations and to restate the conditions of the May, 2014 election as previously adopted by Ordinance No. 2014-02; providing for canvassing of returns; providing for a runoff election as necessary; adopting provisions relative to publication and other matters necessary to conduct the election; and providing an effective date.

This item proposes to repeal the $9.5M of Certificates of Obligation (COs) previously passed by Council and adopt a new Notice of Intention for $2.5M in COs. The $2.5M is intended for the purchase of property for the future joint Police/Town Hall facility.

After a week full of speculation, the cloudy lens of the Trump presidency has begun to sharpen and evidence of possible cross-party negotiation has emerged.
Establishment politicians from all shades of the partisan spectrum, from Bernie Sanders to Mitch McConnell, have spoken out in support of a more unified America. This is an important message at a time where Republicans and Democrats are more divided than ever.
But as we all know, actions speak louder than words. And Trump’s actions suggest more division is imminent.
To his credit, Trump’s appointment of Reince Priebus to the White House chief of staff was smart and reasonable. Priebus, the longest-serving chairman of the Republican National Committee and an embedded member of the establishment swamp that Trump has sworn to drain, will work diligently to ensure that Trump does not completely isolate himself from Republican party values.
Similarly, Trump’s prioritization of his trillion-dollar infrastructure bill seems like an apolitical-enough initiative to bring some sort of bipartisan compromise along with it. A partnership with Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, two supporters of increased spending on transportation and infrastructure, would be huge. But the private-public balance it will have to reach to receive enough funding remains a big question mark, and with that question mark comes plenty room for further political division and gridlock.
While the details of the bill have yet to be finalized, Trump’s surprising open-mindedness toward more-gentle immigration and healthcare reform are giving Democrats hope in an increasingly pessimistic climate.
Unfortunately, the shockingly mild developments have thus far been paired with the shockingly extreme.
Trump’s appointments of Stephen K. Bannon as chief strategist and Myron Ebell as head of the EPA transition team indicate more than an underlying distrust for the political establishment in a Trump presidency – they indicate a distrust for hard science, for facts, and for reason.
Bannon believes America should be skeptical of Muslims, Planned Parenthood, domestic abuse victims, gender equality, and a slew of other vulnerable issues and demographics that have been targeted by the growing alt-right.
Ebell believes we should be skeptical of global warming. In 2015, he characterized Pope Francis’s encyclical on climate change as “leftist drivel”. What this means for pollution regulation and clean energy research remains to be seen – but the current prognosis is bleak.
The incredulity of both stances need not be explained here.
Equally troubling is Trump’s reaffirmation of his promise to nominate a Supreme Court justice with an opposition to abortion rights and a dedication to overturning the 43-year-old Roe v. Wade decision.
Of course, one more conservative judge won’t suffice to undo such a popular ruling. But with more than half the country identifying as pro-choice, the new judge will stand against America’s interests. And with more than half the country identifying as female, the new judge will stand against the autonomy of America’s women.
Trump’s willingness to defer to policy experts like Mike Pence and Reince Priebus when it comes to the creation of a sound Republican platform is a good thing (though there is obvious extremism in Pence’s positions). But Trump’s willingness to set the country back half a century with issues like the environment and women’s rights is downright unacceptable.
If Trump wishes to avoid a tarnished legacy, he’d be wise to move to the middle, stay focused on working class priorities like tax relief and better education, and fill the rest of his cabinet with men and women with a deep respect for law and reason.
What the American public wants may be a mystery, but what it needs is a given, and that is rational, empathetic leadership. For the sake of bringing unity to this divided nation, let’s hope this is something Trump is able to deliver.

WPP’s digital ad-buying group Xaxis has acquired Triad Retail Media, which helps retailers sell ads on their websites. Triad was purchased from private-equity firm Rockbridge Growth Equity LLC. While terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed, people familiar with the matter say Xaxis bought Triad for roughly $300 million. Xaxis said it’s the largest deal it’s ever done, without disclosing specifics. Triad helps retailers like Wal-Mart create ad units to sell ads on their e-commerce sites, and it also gets paid by brands to create the ads. Many of those brands are consumer-packaged-goods companies that are selling products in the stores.

Filmmakers are commonly taught to focus on story structure, plot, and formula while screenwriting, with scene writing usually falling into the background of the discussion. This lack of attention can lead to scenes that are underwritten or underdeveloped, and that ultimately won’t serve the story as a whole.
In this weeks episode, we shift the focus away from general screenwriting theory, and discuss the granular principles of scene writing – Constructs that are not only designed to push the story forward, but more importantly to evoke an emotional response in the audience. Topics covered include: introducing conflict, writing with theme in mind, creating emotional undercurrents, and much more.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a man of many and advanced interests, and his latest notion--the Hyperloop rapid transit system revealed as a concept yesterday--fits into his vision of a very different future. In a nutshell, the Hyperloop is a system in which people board pods inside an elevated metal tube on pillars that carry them from San Francisco to Los Angeles in about half an hour, at speeds up to 800 miles per hour. It was Musk's reaction to the proposed California High-Speed Rail project that is to connect the same two cities, and ultimately run from San Diego to Sacramento, that got him...

CIOs in charge? How boardroom dynamics are changing
The demands of today’s customer expectations are having a knock-on effect on c-suite dynamics.
While the CEO, or even CMO, would once drive key business decisions based on customer insight, the CIO is becoming the key decision-maker as companies face urgency to ‘go digital’ both in-house and in their offerings to customers.
That’s according to a survey of more than 550 C-suite leaders in technology and finance across more than 12 countries by Apptio, in partnership with Financial Times Focus.
The critical role of the CIO
The report found that the push for digital transformation and the “changing economics of IT” has placed the CIO as the executive most effective at driving organizational change. The position now serves a “critical role” in preparing the organization for sustained growth.
“Technology leaders are more emboldened to drive organizational change: their priorities are shifting as they take a more agile approach to IT strategy,” said Sean Kearns, Editorial Director for FT Focus. CIOs have an enormous opportunity to plot the course of business growth, but doing so involves achieving alignment with other departments and influence over the boardroom.
Of the organizations undergoing digital transformation in the study, 56 percent claimed to take an ‘agile’ approach based on constant learning from the business and customers.
Changing boardroom dynamics
When it comes to developing products and services, more than two-thirds of global respondents (68 percent) agreed that digital transformation had strengthened collaboration across the C-suite.
But it’s also leading to blurred responsibilities, and not all leaders are aligned on business priorities or technology strategy.
As a result, potential rifts are appearing, and none more so than between the IT and finance department. The survey showed that CIOs and CFOs were least likely to be on the same page regarding key business decisions.
CIOs might be gaining more power within the organization, the report said, but they are lacking the communication skills needed to influence their business (and secure buy-in) to deliver the change it requires.

Most CIOs still battle with legacy IT
Quelling concerns across the company
This also comprises educating departments about the benefits of new digital initiatives and ensuring they are transparent about complexities and potential risks.
At present, companies are unsettled about how technology decisions are made and evaluated.
Cloud adoption is crucial, but concerns over governance pose challenges for adoption and migration, so just 30 percent of leaders feel confident in IT’s ability to govern cloud computing across the business.
At the same time, agile approaches help to accelerate the adoption of new technology, but greater clarity is needed on tracking performance— less than one-fifth (16 percent) of companies have a framework to map success across the business.
So, while CIOs might be in a position of power, their success will depend on them developing the right blend of technical, business and influencing skills if they’re to use it.

Millions of pounds of investment cash may have to be handed back and hundreds of jobs could be lost if the government scraps a tax break for community ventures, campaigners are warning.
Social investment tax relief (SITR) has helped dozens of social enterprises and charities, many of which serve disadvantaged communities, to raise money, while often providing high returns to investors. However, the relief will come to an end in April 2021 unless the finance bill currently going through parliament is amended.
It is the only tax break specifically aimed at social enterprises, and entitles investors to an upfront 30% income tax relief on the shares they buy or the money they lend to a project.
To date, SITR has leveraged at least £14m in private investment into more than 75 social enterprises.
However, take-up of the relief has been lower than expected, with the government initially forecasting it would trigger more than £80m of investment in the first three years alone.
Big Society Capital, which describes itself as the leading financial institution dedicated to UK social impact investment, is leading a campaign to seek an extension of the relief for at least two years, until April 2023.
Stephen Muers, its interim chief executive, said: “Now is not the time to be taking away a tax relief scheme that has been proven to attract significant investment into some of the most disadvantaged places and causes in the UK, and this is why we urge MPs to act quickly to prevent the closure of what is a valuable lifeline for the sector, saving potentially hundreds of jobs and key community services in the process.”
He added that MPs needed to play a role “to ensure we don’t have to hand back millions of pounds of private money to individuals who want to support projects and organisations”.
The finance bill is at the committee stage in the House of Commons, and is due to be debated on Tuesday.
Big Society Capital has written to the Treasury urging it to extend SITR. The letter has been signed by 33 of the UK’s leading social investors and third-sector organisations, including the chief executives of Triodos Bank UK, Charity Bank and Big Issue Invest.
Campaigners have said that if SITR were reformed and expanded, it had the potential to generate £300m in investment over the next seven years. With organisations accessing the relief typically going on to boost employment by 50%, they have said this could create as many as 15,000 to 20,000 jobs.

Mercedes V-Class luxury MPV price starts from at Rs 68.40 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, will be sold as CBU
Mercedes-Benz has launched the V-Class luxury MPV in India at Rs 68.40 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The V-Class marks Mercedes’ reentry in the segment. While the sales performance of this car is still under question, it will certainly put the brand at a new level. It will be sold as CBU and there will be two different seating layouts.
Pricing of the Mercedes car goes up to Rs 81.90 lakh for the Exclusive Line variant, which is the top-of-the-line model. This segment is not a new one for the German luxury carmaker or in markets like Europe and America. But, launching it in India is certainly a bold step from the automaker. The India-spec Mercedes V-Class will be imported from Spain.

Speaking about the technical bits of the luxury MPV, the V-Class gets an OM654 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. Like all of the brand’s recent launches, Mercedes V-Class too complies with the upcoming BS-VI emission norms. The engine is capable of pumping out 158 bhp of peak power and 350 Nm of peak torque. A 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox is there doing transmission duty.
The V-Class MPV comes with boxy proportions and it draws some design cues from siblings like E-Class or S-Class. The headlamps appear similar to the S-Class sedan thanks to the LED lamps and curvy LED daytime running lights. The stylish alloy wheels, crisp roof rails, larger windshield and small vertically positioned LED taillights add zing to the car.
As expected, the Mercedes V-Class cabin appears premium and well equipped. It gets a clean dashboard with large AC vents. There is a COMAND infotainment system. Large twin-pod instrument cluster with digital MID at the centre is there. It boasts a wide range of safety techs as standard. These include six airbags, attention assist, crosswind assist, headlight assist, TPMS, active parking assist, 360-degree cameras.

The government are causing a disruption in the insurance industry by making changes to how much the insurers will have to contribute to personal injury compensation claims.
The Ministry of Justice has lowered the rate from 2.5% to 0.75%. This is the percentage that is applied to work out the lump sum compensation payouts. It certainly was unexpected to fall so low.
The impact of such news of the government’s action to the personal injury sector has caused shares to fall harshly in Admiral and Direct Line, both insurance companies in the UK. Since Monday morning, shares had fallen more than 8% and 4% respectively for Admiral and Direct Line.
Although, the insurance industry expected the Ministry of Justice to drop the rate, it was anticipated to remain above the 1% level according to Reuters. The move is regarded as unwise by The Association of British Insurers.
The Association of British Insurers criticises the change as being irresponsible, and particularly feel that the government are seemingly ignoring how it will affect the insurance market and those that depend on assurance. A reference has also been made to the way the calculation are carried out which is currently not seen as effective.
“Personal injury claims will have an adverse impact to the insurance sector.”
Mr Khan of PricewaterhouseCoopers, in the insurance sector has mentioned that the change will have a negative impact on motor insurance and likely to increase premiums considerably.
A concern raised by Simon McCulloch form the website comparethemarket.com is that drivers will pay the increase from the rate change and it will end up with personal injury solicitors, who supported the move. Yet on the other hand, this level of contempt was not observed when the upper limit of general damages was significantly raised, which created barriers for motorists to claim for their injuries.Read about George Osborne's reform plans

Chicken chaat salad. If you are looking for an Indian inspired and absolutely delicious composed salad this is it. Big Indian flavours in a traditional main course salad.
I’m pretty sure I will catch some flak for the title of this post. Chaat means savoury snack in India. Street food. It also almost always includes chaat masala. Anything masala means a spice mix of sorts.
This isn’t really a savoury snack and it doesn’t include chaat masala. If I included a masala you’d have to go out of your way to find it. Hunt around for an Indian food shop, get there and buy it. Bet it wouldn’t happen. You’d just never try this recipe. That would be too bad.
The chicken in this appetizer is all Indian. Serve it on an Indian flat bread – that’s chicken chaat. The salad part – well that’s done somewhere I’m sure. Maybe.
This makes a nice western style starter to any Indian meal. You can increase the portion size, add some chickpeas to the salad and drizzle it with a yoghurt dressing. That makes a great light main course.
chicken chaat salad
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into bite sized pieces.
- 1/2 onion coarsely chopped
- 1 Tbsp garlic ginger paste - recipe link below
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 handful cilantro chopped
- 1 splash chicken stock
- Combine all spices and salt in a small dish.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add oil, then fry the onion gently until translucent.
- Reduce heat to medium low and add the garlic ginger paste. Fry until sizzling subsides.
- Add the spices and stir constantly for about 1 minute. You do not want your spices to burn so pay attention.
- Raise heat to medium high. Add chicken and fry, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes.
- Add a bit of chicken stock and cook the chicken until just done and the stock has almost entirely boiled away. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and cilantro and continue cooking for one minute more.
- Serve over greens or with Indian flat bread.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - EVANSVILLE — A Newburgh man was hospitalized and arrested Saturday morning after crashing his motorcycle into an Evansville Police Department cruiser during a pursuit.
According to a police report, Benjamin Burtis Claspell, 26, was traveling northbound on North Main Street at around 2 a.m. Saturday on what officers originally believed to be a moped, the Evansville Courier & Press reported .
Police said officers at the intersection of John and Main streets watched Claspell run a red light at the intersection and attempted to stop him. Claspell continued on North Main Street before turning several times to evade police.
The "moped" reached 45 mph, at which point Indiana statute qualifies it as a motorcycle. Additional officers joined the pursuit and found Claspell heading southbound on North Main Street where he ran more red lights.
Officers spotted Claspell on Second and Locust streets driving into the old Integra Bank parking lot. A police cruiser cut Claspell off at the parking lot exit. The report says Claspell had at least 30 feet on each side of the cruiser to maneuver around but the motorcycle lost control and hit the vehicle broadside.
Claspell was taken to Deaconess Hospital for medical treatment. No serious injuries were listed in the report. A blood test showed he had a blood alcohol content of .265, more than three times the legal limit for driving.
Claspell’s driver’s license had been suspended for multiple infractions. He is currently booked in the Vanderburgh County jail on charges of resisting law enforcement, drunk driving, driving with a suspended license, and disregarding traffic signals.

The name Esteelo is a play on the spanish word Estilo (which means Style). I replaced the letters “ti” with “tee” because my primary garments used are tees (t-shirts). ES-TEE-LO is how it is pronounced just like the actual word estilo. Everything we do at Esteelo is done with style!
I started silk screening as a hobby in my 2 car garage turned into a workshop in the summer of 2010. I began learning the trade (completely self taught) putting in hours and hours of work doling out t-shirts for family and friends. Before I knew it, I took on a small job for a friend’s softball team and another and then another. Then it finally dawned on me that what was started as a hobby had the potential to become a fulfledged business and Esteelo Custom Tee Co. was born. Soon after, we moved out of my garage workshop into our current facility.

In celebration of International Religious Freedom Day on January 16th, the Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the U.S. Department of State hosted a series of Religious Freedom panel discussions on Facebook Live. Read on to learn more about the conversations and to view the events.
Modeling Interfaith Actions and Outcomes
In the first discussion, entitled “Modeling Interfaith Actions and Outcomes,” the Deputy Director of the IRF Office at the U.S. Department of State, Daniel Wright, spoke with Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, Director of the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers, Reverend Susan Hayward, a senior advisor at the U.S. Institute of Peace, and Dr. Stefan Buchwald, Director of the German Information Center at the German Embassy in D.C. Dr. Buchwald discussed the efforts of the German Embassy in D.C. to promote interfaith action through various academic exchanges and internship programs, highlighting the “House of One” in Berlin. Dr. Elsanousi, among other topics, discussed the importance of gender equality and representation in interfaith action programs and also in international religious freedom and genocide prevention initiatives. Reverend Susan Hayward discussed the importance of making sure that interfaith action programs include a wide range of leaders, especially community and other local leaders, as many programs tend to focus solely on gaining support from leaders of major institutions or governments. While it remains extremely important for institutions, such as the U.S. Department of State, to actively engage in interfaith dialogue and action, the speakers reinforced that individuals, civil society organizations, and faith communities should challenge themselves to participate in similar interfaith efforts in their own communities, focusing on concrete action and outcomes.
Countering the Rising Intolerance in Europe
In the second week of the Religious Freedom series, Ms. Alyssa Weiner, senior associate for the Department of International Jewish Affairs at the American Jewish Committee, Dr. Ulrich Mans, Political and Legal Advisor on Human Rights and UN Affairs at the European Union, and Dr. Robert Williams, Director of the Office of International Affairs at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, participated in a discussion called “Countering the Rising Intolerance in Europe,” hosted by Stacy Bernard Davis, Senior Advisor for Combating Anti-Semitism and Europe and Eurasia Unit Chief in DRL/IRF. Dr. Mans highlighted some of the work done by the European Union, such as the Code of Conduct to prevent and counter the spread of illegal hate speech online. The latest implementation report shows that there is a significant increase in the amount of reported content that is being removed within 24 hours. Dr. Mans explained that the EU was committed to further improving these mechanisms and hold biased individuals accountable for their rhetoric. Ms. Weiner described how the AJC interacts with civil society leaders and organizations, such as the World Union of Jewish Students, in order to combat religiously-based hate crimes and hate speech. Finally, Dr. Williams outlined how the role of civil society in combatting intolerance continues to be examined, as well as the ways that the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is building programs that are inspiring a global dialogue on why antisemitism and racism continue to plague our world and how we might resist it through the lessons of the Holocaust. For more about this initiative, please visit www.ushmm.org/askwhy. For more information on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, please visit www.ushmm.org.
Religious Freedom and Empowering Civil Society
When asked by Dan Holtrop, East Asia and Pacific Unit Chief in the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Religious Freedom, why religious freedom should be a priority, Ms. Zubayra Shamseden, Chinese Outreach Coordinator at the Uyghur Human Rights Project, responded that religious freedom is a basic human right because religion is a major part of “history, identity, and culture,” and explained that the suppression of religious freedom erodes these other fundamental forms of identity. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Thang, President and CEO of Boat People SOS, described how he fled from Vietnam in 1978 and cited his background as a refugee as one of the reasons he focuses on protecting religious freedom. As he put it, religious freedom is not just one right, but a “packet” of rights, including the freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of movement, and so on. Lastly, Dr. Azeem Ibrahim, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Policy, stated that civil society and other international leaders and organizations are effective policy tools and are needed in order to stop the ongoing religious discrimination against the Rohingya people and other minority groups in Asia.
The Effects of Trauma on Religious Freedom
In the final installment of the Religious Freedom discussion series, Dr. James S. Gordon, Founder and Director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and Dr. Sousan Abadian, a Franklin Fellow in the Office of Religious Freedom, talked about the effects that traumatic experiences can play in religious intolerance and detailed the role of “post-traumatic growth” in combatting religious intolerance. Dr. Gordon explained that individuals go into “fight or flight” mode, which can actually last until long after the traumatic event has ended, which often contributes to bias, including individual bias against a certain religious, ethnic, national, or other group. Dr. Gordon also provided the audience with a description of a simple breathing technique to reduce stress and quiet the mind, which that can be practiced anywhere and by anyone. Simple techniques such as breathing exercises can contribute positively to post-traumatic growth and combatting religious bias and intolerance. As Dr. Abadian concluded, “People can evolve. They can strengthen, they can become more compassionate and empowered following traumatic experiences.”
Religious Freedom is a fundamental and inalienable human right that must be protected. To find out more, please visit https://www.state.gov/j/drl/irf/
