Following Belgium, the Netherlands is set to legalise euthanasia for children. Until now, euthanasia was only available for people over 16, children between 12 and 16 who had the permission of their parents, and children under 12 months. “This concerns a small group of incurably ill children who are suffering hopelessly and unbearably, for whom palliative care options are not sufficient to alleviate suffering and who are expected to die in the foreseeable future,” the government stated in a press release. “For this group, termination of life is the only reasonable alternative to end the child’s hopeless and unbearable suffering. About 5 to 10 children are involved every year.” The Health Minister, Ernst Kuipers, said that the new regulations were a necessity: “This is a particularly complex subject that deals with very distressing situations, situations you wouldn’t wish on anyone. I am pleased that, after intensive consultation with all parties involved, we have reached a solution that will help these incurably ill children, their parents and also their practitioners.” Belgium legalised euthanasia for children in 2014. Luxembourg, where euthanasia is also legal, is open to the idea. According to official figures, only one child between 12 and 16 was euthanised in 2022.

Auto fuel and cooking gas prices have zoomed in the first fortnight of February, touching record high levels across the country. The price of petrol rose from Rs 86.30 a litre on February 1 to Rs 88.99 a litre on Monday (February 15) in Delhi. Diesel prices have risen from Rs 76.48 a litre to 79.35 a litre during the same period in the national capital. Reports have come of premium petrol being sold at above Rs 100 in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, Maharashtra’s Parbhani, and three districts in Rajasthan. Premium grade petrol is costlier because of its ability to improve the vehicle’s performance. While petrol and diesel prices are revised everyday by oil marketing companies and consumers were somewhat prepared for the hikes, the sudden increase in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG or cooking gas) has caught many off guard. The price of domestic (14.2 kg) LPG cylinders was first hiked by Rs 25 a cylinder on February 1 and again on February 14/15 midnight by Rs 50 a cylinder. These successive and unexpected hikes (LPG prices are usually revised monthly) drove up the price to Rs 769.00 a cylinder in the national capital. These hikes are being attributed to changes in the global market with expectations of squeezed crude oil supplies as producing countries resort to output cuts. There are also fears of fresh tensions in West Asia as the conflict in Yemen intensifies. For India, this translates to higher expenses on account of imports and is reflected in the Indian basket of crude oil, the average price at which Indian refineries have bought crude oil they processed. The Indian basket of crude is almost three times the average April 2020 levels of $19.90 per barrel, closing January 2021 at $ 54.79 per barrel. More expensive auto fuels have a spill-over effect on the economy with truck rentals being hiked. “The higher price of crude oil has driven up tyre and fuel costs for truckers. Diesel and tyre comprise 90 per cent of the variable operating cost for a trucker. In January 2021, there was a 6-8 per cent hike in truck rentals (compared with December 2020), primarily because of higher diesel costs, tyres, and other inputs. In the first fortnight of February, freight cost hikes should have been just 2-2.5 per cent across different trunk routes, but it has actually gone up 4-4.5 per cent,” said S P Singh, senior fellow and coordinator at Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training. The tyre prices are impacted since some raw materials (other than natural rubber) are sourced from crude oil. For consumers, the subsidy cushion that successive governments had maintained to mute the impact of higher fuel costs has been thinned out now. Officially, the government has stopped publishing the amount of subsidy a consumer can expect when booking a domestic LPG cylinder. Even in response to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan did not share the numbers about the quantum of subsidy consumers get. Pradhan said: “The prices of petroleum products, including LPG, in the country are linked to the costs of respective products in the international market. However, the government continues to modulate the effective price to consumer for subsidised domestic LPG and the consumers get the products at subsidised rate. The subsidy on domestic LPG increase/decrease with the increase/decrease in the product price in international market and decision of government on subsidy”. Kerosene, fourth “sensitive” petroleum product, does not have any subsidy with the Centre not giving any subsidised kerosene to those who have LPG connections. This has meant consumers are mostly out of kerosene subsidy net now after the Ujjwala programme. Besides, a small increase in retail price has ended the gap between subsidised and market priced kerosene. The Union budget has not provided anything for the kerosene subsidy in 2021-22 against Rs 2,677.32 crore estimated this year, down from Rs 4,058 crore in 2019-2020. For 2021-2022, the Centre has parked Rs 12,995 crore as LPG subsidy, pruning it to less than half of what it had budgeted for in 2020-2021. This is on the expectations of crude oil prices remaining contained between $60-65 a barrel and the LPG subsidy being maintained at lower levels, shifting more burden on consumers.

Mark Cook, Blentech Assistant Shop Superintendent – 1985 to today What was your title when you first started? I started as a welder at Custom Stainless first in 1985. (Many Custom Stainless employees went on to join Blentech when it started in 1986.) I was working for a dairy equipment company but wanted to take a job closer to home. Now, I’ve worked here for 32 years. What did you do in that role? I learned to weld when I was 12 year old. My father was a welding instructor at Hunting Beach High School. He also taught adult classes in the summers and when there was space in his classes, I would fill it. To learn about how the factory worked, much like many new employees, I started in parts. You learn where all the parts fit into the bigger machines. Then you move to fabrication and have a good understanding of how it’s all built. Back then, I shared a work area with Lauren Frederickson. He was an excellent craftsman. Both my father and Lauren were big influences when it came to craftsmanship. I then became Assistant Supervisor around 1989. I was good with people and taught newcomers to have pride in their craftsmanship. Today I serve the role as a mentor, educator and guide to our workers to have excellence in their work. The schools no longer teach industrial arts which I think is a big mistake. It’s harder to find skilled workers who know their stuff when they come in. Today, new welders need lots of mentoring and molding to bring them up to the level of standards Blentech requires. What type of machines were made back when you first started? When I started, we made a lot of tumblers and VersaTherms. Now we do a lot of systems. Most memorable project? The first fusion cookers (Infinity Cooker) needed to be welded inside from both ends or sides and therefore, when they were first designed, the length was based on the length of my arm. Our engineer, John Lennox, came out and measured the length of my arm and based the first fusion cookers on the size of my arm! He couldn’t make it longer or I couldn’t weld it! That length in our designs is still used today. What advice would you give now to your year one self. I would tell my first year self to not give up on the creative part of your job. It’s the part I enjoy the most. Being creative each day. I really enjoy what I do here at Blentech. Our jobs are not cookie cutter. I never do the same thing each day. It’s a challenge every week to create equipment that’s unique for each customer and do so with a high level of craftsmanship. When I’m finished with the job in my area, I go to final assembly and make sure when they put the machine together it all works exactly how it should. What do you like to do when you’re not at Blentech? I’m very much into fitness. My wife and I both like being active and working out. I am now a personal trainer and work with others to become fit. I’m working on getting certifications in weight loss and in behavior modification. It’s all connected. What is something surprising that your coworkers might be surprised to learn about you? When I served in the army, I served in the infantry and was on a pistol team. My service time took me to Kansas, Korea and Washington State. What makes Blentech products different? Quality. Our level of craftsmanship is way ahead of our competitors. Thank you Mark, for your lifetime contributions to our Blentech team. Mark is one of the many Blentech employees who personify excellence by design. To find out more about Blentech, listen to our Founder, Darrell Horn, speak about how Blentech has been designing equipment for 30 years that is of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship in our video here .

I don't understand how two weeks off can go by so darn quickly. When you're waiting for something, time never goes by as quickly. How is that possible? Ugh. You guessed it. My holidays are over and I'm back at it. This last week went by so quickly I barely remember everything I did. We had friends over for New Year's and then New Year's Day my sinuses flared up and I wasn't in the best shape. It stuck around for a couple of days. It was so bad on Friday morning I went to the walk in clinic. I was supposed to go mountain biking with G and a couple of our friends but I had hardly slept the night before so I stayed in bed. I felt good enough in the afternoon to go to Ripley's Aquarium with our niece and G (it was AWESOME). I felt better on Saturday but still not 100%. Yesterday I felt like things were turning around but then I had another night of very little sleep last night so today I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I think today is going to be a multiple coffee kind of day. Last week I started formulating a plan to build up my bike and run mileage and this week I put that plan into action. I also took Tom Sawyer in for a re-jig. I wanted to drop the front end a little bit so the guys at Wheels of Bloor did that for me on New Year's Eve. That afternoon I did a test ride on the trainer. Man I love that bike. Seriously. I was so happy to be back on it. I think the lower position should be fine. I might even be able to go a bit lower but we'll see. I'll ride like this for the next month and see what I think. Here's how my first week "back at it" unfolded: Monday: 2000m swim + 35 minute ride Tuesday: 60 minutes strength & mobility, followed by a 7.3km run Wednesday: 30 minute ride Thursday: 8km run Friday: OFF - so sick Saturday: 2000m swim + 45 minute ride Sunday: 1h 26 minute ride - all of which could not be downloaded to Garmin Connect because of a file error. UGH. Total: 6h 54 minutes. The one good thing about being back at work is that I will at least get back to a regular workout routine. Once I feel like a human being again of course. Tomorrow our monthly Tri Talk Tuesday link up is happening and we're talking resolutions and goal setting because it's that time of year! Who else is back to work today?

OCLC and the Internet Archive today announced the results of a year-long cooperation to ensure the future of purl.org. The organizations have worked together to build a new service hosted by the Internet Archive that will manage the persistent URLs and sub-domain redirections for purl.org, purl.com and purl.net. Since its introduction by OCLC Research in 1995, purl.org has provided a source of Persistent URLs (PURLs) that redirect users to the correct hosting location for documents, data, and websites as they change over time. With more than 2,500 users including publishing and metadata organizations such as Dublin Core, purl.org has become important to the smooth functioning of the Web, data on the Web, and the Semantic Web in particular. Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive said “We share a common belief with OCLC that what is shared on the Web should be preserved, so it makes perfect sense for us to add this important service to our set of tools and services including the WayBack Machine as part of our mission to promote universal access to all knowledge.” Lorcan Dempsey of OCLC welcomed the announcement as “a major step in the future sustainability and independence of this key part of the Web and linked data architectures. OCLC is proud to have introduced persistent URLs and purl.org in the early days of the Web and we have continued to host and support it for the last twenty years. We welcome the move of purl.org to the Internet Archive which will help them continue to archive and preserve the World’s knowledge as it evolves.” All previous PURL definitions have been transferred to Internet Archive and can continue to be maintained by their owners through a new web-based interface located at here. OCLC is a nonprofit global library cooperative providing shared technology services, original research and community programs so that libraries can better fuel learning, research and innovation. Through OCLC, member libraries cooperatively produce and maintain WorldCat, the most comprehensive global network of data about library collections and services. Libraries gain efficiencies through OCLC’s WorldShare, a complete set of library management applications and services built on an open, cloud-based platform. It is through collaboration and sharing of the world’s collected knowledge that libraries can help people find answers they need to solve problems. Together as OCLC, member libraries, staff and partners make breakthroughs possible About Internet Archive: The Internet Archive (archive.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library, with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format.

Von Dr. Marc Batschkus The post-production workflow is responsible for precious files that might have cost millions to create. Therefore, having solid protection and maximum security for this data is necessary. Since there are many options and technologies available, a closer look is necessary. How to Manage Your Data in the Post-Production Workflow Challenges to look out for when managing data in the post-production workflow The biggest risk for data is still human error and mishaps. Especially under time pressure, these become more likely. Any manual process to secure data is bound to fail sooner or later, especially under time-critical deadlines. Only automated processes to protect the files help to keep them safe. This means data management software is a necessary part of data protection. Finding the right solution for data protection in the post-production workflow There are three categories that determine which solution is needed: throughput, retention time, and security level. The throughput requirement influences the medium used for storage and the connection. The fastest is a RAID of SSDs and a direct Thunderbolt, SAS, eSATA or Fibre channel connection. This is followed by SSDs (no RAID), Disk RAIDs, LTO tape, and single disks. Immediate availability of files For the fastest availability, cloning/replication is required. This means all files from the primary storage are cloned to secondary storage. In case something goes wrong, either single files or the complete file set are immediately available. No restoration is necessary. This is what P5 Synchronize offers. Automatic Backup and storage options Only an automated Backup keeps files protected even under time pressure. P5 Backup can store data to disk, tape, and cloud storage, thereby offering the flexibility of storage media. Time to restore and recover files needs depends on the storage medium in use. How Long is the Data Kept? The retention time is important because it influences the decision for a storage medium and capacity. This means: how long it is possible to go back to recover a file that has been accidentally deleted or lost. Shorter retention times mean less capacity for Backup storage. Longer retention times mean more capacity, keeping or preserving data for the long-term needs an Archive solution and respective media. For long-term storage, LTO tape and Cloud storage are the best choices. Right now, LTO tape scales at the lowest cost per TB (starting at about 10USD/EUR per TB). Tape is rated at a shelf life of 30 years, making it the only professional long-term medium. What Security is Needed? The necessary security level for the post-production workflow depends on compliance requirements, individual strategy, and budget. The highest level of security calls for multiple copies, plus one copy stored off-site. This protects against local incidents. The classic 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of each file on 2 different media (e.g., SSD/Disk, Disk/Tape, Disk/Cloud) and 1 copy stored off-site. Tape and cloud are storage options for easy off-site storage. Additionally, air gap is an important security feature of LTO Tape. A physical gap between the data source/network and the Backup/Archive medium prevents any malware or error from spreading to the secured files. The Archive Becomes the File Memory If all finalised productions are migrated to the Archive, it becomes the single source of truth. It is the only place to look for files for reference, re-use, and returning customers. Added metadata makes finding files easy. Archiware’s P5 Archive offers customisable metadata fields and menus. Additionally, visual browsing using thumbnails and proxy clips supports research for specific files. P5 Archive can use disk, tape, and Cloud storage. Special Case: The Ingest Archive If the production storage is too small to hold all footage that comes in for post production, the Ingest Archive is a solution. What this means is that all footage is archived to LTO tape at the time of ingest. Proxies are generated and used for subsequent editing. At the end of the process, only the clips that actually have become part of the final production are restored from the Ingest Archive and used for the conform process and delivery. A Cost-Effective Solution The most cost-effective way to create maximum security and long-preservation is Archiware’s Desktop LTO Edition. Together with a single LTO drive, it protects data on two levels: production data with P5 Backup and finalised files with P5 Archive. This creates a maximum level of security for a very reasonable investment. The single LTO drive can also be used for data exchange and delivery using the LTFS format. Finding files becomes easy because P5 Archive offers media previews and proxy clips together with customisable metadata fields.

Everyone has heard the nightmare stories of remodeling projects gone terribly wrong: contractors that start but never finish projects, estimates that grow with each day of construction or just plain shoddy workmanship that costs you in the long run. As a result, deciding to remodel can take courage, and remodeling your kitchen may take more than any other room because it’s so difficult to live without your kitchen during the construction period. At Custom Built we have heard all the stories too — but only from potential clients who have had such bad experiences. So, we have a few tips to offer that can make all the difference in the success or failure of your kitchen remodel. Kitchen Design: Pro Tip #1 When embarking on a home improvement journey, it's crucial to arm yourself with questions right from the start. List down your inquiries, whether they arise initially or pop up during the entire process. The next step is crucial—ask those questions and patiently await the responses. Consider these questions as your compass, guiding you through the selection of a contractor. It's not just about asking; it's about receiving acceptable and professional responses. This interaction is more than a mere formality; it's a litmus test for the transparency, honesty, and professionalism of the contractors you're considering. Reputable contractors not only expect these questions but also value the need for honesty and openness with their clients. This expectation holds true from the initial design phase all the way through the completion of the punch list. Accept nothing less than clear, honest communication. It's a cornerstone of a successful collaboration and ensures that your home improvement project is in the hands of professionals who prioritize your understanding and satisfaction throughout the entire process. Here is a comprehensive list of questions we recommend asking throughout your remodeling journey: 1. Initial Consultation: How do you typically approach the design phase? What is your experience with kitchen remodeling projects? Can you provide references or examples of your previous kitchen remodels? 2. Design and Planning: What is the estimated timeline for the design and planning phase? Are there any potential challenges or obstacles you foresee in this project? How do you handle changes or modifications to the initial design of kitchen layouts? 3. Budget and Cost: Can you provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in the project? How do you handle cost overruns, and what is your change order process? Are there any potential additional costs that may arise during the remodel? 4. Materials and Fixtures: How do you source and select fixtures and appliances? Can you recommend durable and cost-effective materials for my kitchen? What options do I have for kitchen island, cabinets, countertops, and flooring? 5. Construction Phase: How will you handle unexpected issues or delays during construction? How do you manage the work schedule, and what is the daily work routine? What is the projected start and completion date for the construction phase? 6. Permits and Compliance: Will you handle obtaining the necessary permits for the remodel? How do you ensure that the project complies with local building codes? What is your experience with inspections, and how do you handle any required changes? 7. Communication and Updates: How often can I expect updates on the progress of the remodel? Who will be my main point of contact during the remodeling process? What is your preferred method of communication throughout the project? 8. Warranty and Post-Completion: Do you offer any warranties on the materials and workmanship? Can you provide a maintenance guide or recommendations for my new kitchen? How do you address any issues or concerns after the completion of the project? These questions cover various aspects of the kitchen remodeling process, helping homeowners make informed decisions and ensure a successful and satisfactory outcome. Kitchen Design: Pro Tip #2 The golden rule of kitchen remodeling is still “the work triangle,” that seemingly infallible imperative that says the positions of a kitchen’s three main points of work — the sink, the stove, and the refrigerator — should form a triangle. Yes, it dates back to the mid-20th century and yes, we put a man on the moon since then, but sometimes the simplest concepts are the ones that stand the test of time. After all, E=MC2 is just five characters, and look how well it’s held up! According to CliqStudios, The National Kitchen and Bath Association recommends: “The sum of the work triangle's three sides should not exceed 26 feet, and each leg should measure between 4 and 9 feet. “The work triangle should not cut through an island or peninsula by more than 12 inches. “If the kitchen has only one sink, it should be placed between or across from the cooking surface, preparation area, or refrigerator. “No major traffic patterns should cross through the triangle.” Don’t be afraid to ask your designer about “the work triangle” and how it can be used to benefit you and your new kitchen. Kitchen Design: Pro Tip #3 Choose a floor that is both appealing and tough. It’s true that the kitchen is where everyone wants to be and kitchens are perhaps the only room in the house where people spend time actually standing and walking, rather than sitting on a chair or couch. So that means more floor wear and tear by people, but also from things like hot substances dribbled or dropped on the floor, and pots, pans and other heavy or sharp objects falling on the floor. Because kitchens are so well used, the floor is likely to be washed more than other rooms as well, so choose a floor that meets both your aesthetic and your durability goals. Kitchen Design: Pro Tip #4 Choosing the right kitchen cabinets is a pivotal decision in any remodel, significantly influencing both the aesthetic and functionality of the space. Taking the time to thoroughly research and select cabinets that align with your style, budget, and lifestyle is essential. Consider factors such as material quality, storage needs, and design versatility. Read customer reviews, explore various styles, and consult with experienced professionals. Well-chosen cabinets not only enhance the overall look of your kitchen but also contribute to its efficiency and organization. Investing time in this research ensures that your kitchen remodel not only meets but exceeds your expectations, resulting in a space that perfectly reflects your vision and serves your practical needs. A kitchen remodel can be an amazing upgrade for your home, add thousands to its value and make you very happy when complete, and it doesn’t have to be a scary experience.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is full of praise for Everton goalkeeper Jordon Pickford According to BBC, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou \was full of praise for the Everton goalkeeper Jordon Pickford after he made incredible saves to deny Spurs a much-needed victory at Goodison Park. “[Jordan] Pickford pulled off two or three good saves, we got two but just couldn’t get the third.” With the final whistle, Ange Postecoglou’s face was desolate, and this makes the right sense. Two moments of inspired brilliance from former Everton forward Richarlison had put Spurs well on the way to securing the sixth away win of their season. However, the match ended in an annoying draw, thanks to Jordan Pickford’s impressive saves, Everton’s relentless efforts, and the opposing team’s susceptibility to set pieces. Jack Harrison and Jarrad Branthwaite, perfectly timed their first goals of the season in the 94th minute, saving the home side. Spurs could have secured their victory well before it slipped away, if not for Pickford’s performance. He made some impressive saves against Pedro Porro, James Maddison, and Richarlison as the away team kept putting pressure on the home defense. Everton deserved the equalizer for their hard work and determination, although Spurs posed a greater threat. The dynamic Werner once again excelled down Everton’s right flank, delivering a precise pass to the talented James Maddison, who expertly redirected the ball towards the opposing team’s number 9. Richarlison unleashed a magnificent shot from the edge of the penalty area, leaving Pickford helpless as the ball soared into the top corner of the net. On the other hand, Maddison’s composure was truly remarkable in the intense match at Goodison. He orchestrated several impressive plays for Spurs and displayed great finesse in assisting Richarlison’s second goal. If the attacking players had been as skillful in crucial moments, Spurs could have taken a commanding lead before Branthwaite’s late goal. More Tottenham Hotspur News- It remains to be seen if Spurs can maintain their fourth-place position this weekend and improve upon in for the rest of the season. Everton’s upcoming challenge is to make Pep Guardiola’s day as difficult as they did in their recent match. It is imperative for Spurs to secure victories in their upcoming three home games and not fall behind the title challengers.

Nikon to Acquire US Cinema Camera Manufacturer RED “Nikon Corporation (Nikon) hereby announces its entry into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding membership interests of RED.com, LLC (RED) whereby RED will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nikon” This is an absolutely fascinating acquisition. I think it’s safe to say this is the largest acquisition ever in the photo/video world, with DJI’s effective acquisition of Hasselblad back in 2017 coming in (an arguably distant) second. I’d have to imagine this acquisition is at least in large part, if not entirely, driven by Nikon and RED’s legal battles over internal RAW video compression, which Nikon implemented in its flagship Z9 camera system. Nikon subsequently faced various lawsuits (1, 2) from RED, but it was eventually dismissed without any further information being shared at the time. It makes sense to keep RED as a separate subsidiary for now, but I’m more fascinated to see what this buy-out means for Nikon on a larger timeline. Almost overnight, it makes Nikon a massive player in the commercial-level video world, competing with the likes of ARRI, Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. RED doesn’t particularly have the best image from a PR perspective, but if Nikon plays its cards right, it could soften the patent-troll-like reputation RED has had and become a serious player in the niche cinema market.

CURRENCY MARKET OVERVIEW : USD/INR Technical view: USD/INR resumes its upside in the longer term since the pair surged above a multi-month-old descending trend channel last week. In the near term, the bullish outlook of USD/INR remains intact as the pair holds above the key 100-day EMA on the daily chart. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index lies above the 50 midline, indicating there is still room for near-term USD/INR appreciation. An all-time high of 83.49 remains a tough nut to crack for USD/INR buyers. A decisive break above this level will pave the way to the 84.00 psychological level. On the flip side, the resistance-turned-support level at 83.20 acts as an initial support level. The crucial contention level is seen at the confluence of the 100-day EMA and the round figure of the 83.00 mark. A bullish breakout above the mentioned level might attract bulls and the pair might reach to 84.50, followed by an 85.00 round figure. CLICK TO OPEN FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CURRENCY UPDATE :

Abiqua Drinking Gourd Hosta - Three Bought - September 2021 Last month, I posted about an interesting hosta that I came across at the Growing Place called Brother Stefan hosta. In that post, I referenced a Rob Zimmer column in the Wisconsin Gardener that highlighted a few OTHER 'interesting' cultivars of hostas that mentioned a hosta that I've seen ALL OVER various big box garden centers and, without much thought, I simply dismissed. I dismissed it because it seemed very popular. But, Zimmer calls the Abiqua Drinking Gourd 'One of the true giants'. Well...that has me interested. |Source via WisFarmer.com So, when I found myself at one of the Home Depots this past weekend, I picked up a trio of Miscanthus sinesis 'Adagio' Maiden Grasses. I also found these Abiqua Drinking Gourd hostas in the 50% off section. Well, they *had* to come home with me. Below, you can see the label: And, here, below, are the trio of these hostas in their nursery containers: What is the description of these? New Hampshire Hostas calls them 'extremely distinct', 'heavily corrugated, 'deeply cupped, 'unruly foliage'. Love ALL Of that. They also get very large - and based on what I've figured out - that if you see someone with a HUGE hosta - like four-feet across and a couple of feet tall? That's likely this Abiqua Drinking Gourd.

NHS organisations and the professionals who staff them are under tremendous pressure. The University of Manchester’s Professor Leo McCann has been working closely with NHS paramedics in England over the last five years, learning about the changes they have gone through as professionals and the pressures that ambulance trusts face as organisations. In this blog, he asks at what point do our NHS staff finally ‘break’? How do they persist, and is there room for optimism? - The paramedic profession has moved from a manual occupation (first aid and transportation) to a clinical role involving pre-hospital and unplanned primary care duties. These developments potentially offset frustrations and constraints that paramedics have faced for decades. - But ambulance services still face considerable issues over burnout, stress, conflict, and severe operational pressure. Numerous reports attest to a staff mental health crisis, unsupportive management and entrenched cultures of bullying and blame. - Missed response targets don’t necessarily mean poor standards of care. NHS workers provide highly effective care to patients every day. A clinically-advanced system free at the point of use is a powerful reminder of what society can achieve, and what the public expects and supports. - There are certain ways in which the general public can help. The public should be better educated about health, well-being, and the care systems we have. Basic first aid could be taught more broadly in schools, universities and workplaces, from infection control to hands-only CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators. Is this NHS at breaking point? Stories of the NHS’s desperate struggles are rarely out of the news. Writings often include metaphors of ‘breaking point’ or ‘cliff edge’, implying the struggles are terminal. Certainly the health service faces severe problems, with the situation in Accident and Emergency departments and ambulance services especially acute. News media and ‘fly on the wall’ documentaries portray interminable trolley waits, continual ambulance diverts and hopelessly breached waiting targets. Several recent stories have described dedicated professionals leaving the health occupations that they have devoted their lives to. Here we have the personal breaking point; when it just gets too much people understandably leave their organisations or even change careers. There are dozens of pieces like this, such as newspaper stories on burnt-out doctors, and a high-quality blog series entitled ‘Broken Paramedic’. Personal stories such as these convey important messages to politicians and NHS leaders about the impacts of their policies. There is no doubt that working life in emergency healthcare is physically and emotionally exhausting and the writings about breakage and crisis express powerful, uncomfortable truths. Important as they are, they also beg a question: amid all this strain and conflict how can professionals remain optimistic? Why do people come back for more? What is it about work – perhaps especially high-pressure, public service work – that drives people to continue to devote the best part of their lives to ‘make the broken machine work’? Researching the emergency healthcare world Over the last five years, I have been working closely with NHS paramedics in England, learning about the changes they have gone through as professionals and the intense pressures that ambulance trusts face as organisations. Exhaustion and strain were regular themes. One highly-experienced paramedic and middle manager asked me to consider ‘at what point do we break them?’ His phrasing was instructive: the assumption was made that we break them, ‘we’ being the organisation itself – the management, the system. Indeed this has been a major finding of my work. It is not necessarily the intrinsic elements of high-pressure emergency work that are traumatic (although of course certain incidents can be extremely challenging). As I have discussed on this blog before, a central problem is the organisational battles, the sense of being undervalued, the feelings of resentment and sometimes embarrassment about how dysfunctional organisational systems and chronic shortages can undermine services provided to the public. But on my travels with ambulance services I also came across other perspectives. ‘Please don’t only report our miserablist stories’ requested an emergency medical technician at a shabby old ambulance station somewhere far from HQ. ‘We can moan for England’ was a phrase I heard almost everywhere. Many of the ambulance workers’ complaints about their organisation were valid. But there was an interesting cultural angle to it. Paramedics and technicians would also reflect on ‘the moaning’ itself, describing it as habitual, a remnant of the ‘canteen culture’, part of the territory and not to be taken completely seriously. The metaphors could be colourful: one ambulance crew in particular was described as ‘a comedy double act’, and another paramedic described what he called ‘the baboon pack’; certain crews on station would form almost a closed circle to share stories, gossip and complaints. One of my informants spoke at length about the pointlessness of ‘the moaning’: ‘the constant moaning is a problem. It’s cultural, it’s like a stuck record. Sometimes, yes you are exhausted, it’s hard, it’s bloody hard, but the constant whinging and moaning just makes it worse. You are wasting energy, dragging everyone else down, too. Sometimes I join in, other times I’m like, right that’s enough, this isn’t helping you or anyone else.’ Optimism is a strategy So what exactly is happening? To what extent are these people and organisations really ‘broken’? Is there value – as Noam Chomsky believes – in being optimistic because the alternative is hopelessness? What grounds are there for optimism? In common with workplaces in general, the picture is mixed and contradictory. Ambulance services, like many other uniformed occupations such as nursing and policing, have ‘professionalized’ in recent years. In terms of clinical expertise the paramedic profession has taken great strides recently, moving from a manual occupation limited to first aid and transportation to a complex clinical role involving a wide range of pre-hospital and unplanned primary care duties. Within certain boundaries, paramedics are encouraged to be increasingly autonomous and in many cases can treat patients at scene or at home removing the need for onward transport and probable hospital admission. A recent change in the law allows Advanced Paramedics to prescribe certain drugs. The Health Care and Professional Council has recently recommended that university degrees should now be the only entry point for the registration of new paramedics. These are major developments that potentially offset the frustrations and constraints that paramedics have faced for decades. The role is potentially opened up for increased discretion, autonomy and a more expansive career trajectory. In general the paramedic role enjoys wide public support and interest, as attested to by almost nightly ‘reality’ TV and supportive viewer comments. Paramedics’ own writings have also been influential, such as Liz Harris’ article in The Guardian that somehow managed to turn that pointless and intrusive question ‘what’s the worst thing you’ve seen?’ into something humane and wise. Paramedic science degrees are in high demand. In an era of automation, gig economy and ‘bullshit jobs’ , the promise of a meaningful, identifiable role where one can help the public in its hour of need is an attractive one. A search for balance And yet, ambulance services still very much slot into the narrative of burnout, stress and breakage. Numerous reports attest to a staff mental health crisis, unsupportive management and entrenched cultures of bullying and blame. Missed targets and operational delays are common, with 2017 the worst year ever for waiting times across NHS England. Although life out on the road can be very rewarding, NHS trusts face considerable challenges in coping with shortages, restoring trust and enabling more supportive cultures and behaviours. But we shouldn’t lose sight of the daily successes. Missed response targets don’t necessarily mean poor standards of care. NHS workers typically provide highly effective, compassionate care to patients every day. The fact that a clinically-advanced system free at the point of use exists at all is a powerful reminder of what society can achieve, and what the public expects and supports. A&E work embodies the NHS ethos of treatment being available to all based on clinical need, regardless of patients’ ability to pay. In today’s neoliberal environment, when everything is priced and everything is ‘competitive’, that in itself is a radical democratic achievement. The NHS needs more funding; there can be no doubt about that. Optimism seems misplaced and naïve when confronted by governments that want to ‘open up’ health services to competition and can’t see past ‘efficiency savings.’ But there are small steps that can be taken in the everyday – outside of the political worlds of policy and funding. One glaringly obvious issue is to better educate the public about health, well-being, and the care systems we have. It is remarkable how little health knowledge is available among communities. Basic training in hygiene and first aid should be taught more broadly in schools, universities and workplaces, from infection control to hands-only CPR and the use of AEDs. Many people wrongly interchange the terms ‘cardiac arrest’ and ‘heart attack’. Official guidance from the Resuscitation Council UK states that AEDs can be used safely by ordinary members of the public, but this is not widely known. The whole system needs much more support – not just in terms of increased government funding to address the chronic shortages – but also in terms of better understanding from the public, and a more inclusive managerial culture. Management behaviours need to continue changing to become more appreciative of front-line realities. Chomsky’s optimism rests on the possibilities for self-organising, of making everyday changes and interventions possibly outside of ‘the system’. Even in a constrained funding environment there is always some scope for this – the College of Paramedics relies heavily on the voluntary, self-organisation of its dedicated members. Paramedic Rob Moore’s ever-optimistic ‘blue-light happy’ Twitter account is a great reflection of self-organising. What can we do as citizens and users of our health service? NHS trusts are public bodies (at least for now). Become a member. Go to a meeting. Maybe sign on for CPR training. Make room and think ahead when a blue-light vehicle is thundering up in your rear-view mirror. Educate yourself about self-care. If you or your family receive good treatment from an ambulance crew, an A&E nurse or a consultant, consider writing them a thank-you letter. I can guarantee it will make their day. Learn about the work of The Ambulance Staff Charity (TASC) or the various Air Ambulance services around the country (all of which are charities). Follow your ambulance trust on Twitter (or at least follow Rob Moore). They need your support. It is here where Chomsky’s optimism strategy makes the most sense, with its philosophical roots in mutual aid and solidarity. There is always more that we can all do to make lifeworlds that bit more tolerable and humane. Amid all the breakage in modern society, optimism is a strategy we should all try to pursue.

The only known examples of Myanmar snub-nosed monkeys live in three or four groups present within an area of 270 km² in the eastern Himalayas, in the north-eastern part of Kachin, the northernmost state of Myanmar, at an altitude between 1700 and 3200 meters. The species, the first of the genus Rhinopithecus to have been discovered in Myanmar, is isolated from the other species of rhinopithecus from the Mekong and Salween rivers; the other four species, the golden rhinos, the brown rhinos, the white rhinos and the Tonkin rhinos, all live in China and Vietnam. The total number of known Myanmar snub-nosed monkeys specimens is estimated between 260 and 330 specimens. Other primate species are found in the same area as the Stryker's rhinopith, including the Shortridge langur, bear macaque, Assam macaque, rendered macaque, and northern nemestrine macaque. Myanmar snub-nosed monkey are nearly extinct The species spends the summer months in mixed temperate forests in the highest areas of its range, but in winter it descends to lower altitudes to escape the snow. Deforestation, isolation and hunting by locals are considered potential threats to the survival of this species. The known specimens are only 260-330 and it has been hypothesized that this animal should be included by the IUCN among the critically endangered species. This species became known to Westerners thanks to a group of scientists involved in the Myanmar Primates Conservation Program who in early 2010 were evaluating the conditions of the hulok gibbons in the area. The expedition, led by Swiss primatologist Thomas Geissman and Ngwe Lwin of the Myanmar Association for Biodiversity and Nature Conservation, was sponsored by Fauna & Flora International and the Foundation for Human Resources and Conservation. The species received the scientific name of Rhinopithecus strykeri in honor of the philanthropist Jon Stryker, president and founder of the Arcus Foundation, another sponsor of the expedition. The coat of this monkey is almost completely black. On the top of the head there is a high and thin crest of long black hairs facing forward. He has long white tufts on his ears, his face almost completely hairless and covered with pale pink skin, a whitish mustache of hair above his upper lip and a characteristic white beard on his chin. The perineal region is white and clearly defined and the limbs are almost completely black, the inner side of the limbs, both anterior and posterior, is blackish brown.

In 2015 the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year was That’s right — in the estimation of Oxford’s editors the “face with tears of joy” emoji “best reflected the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015.” The year 2016 turned out to be a very gloomy and depressing year for many people. This year’s emoji/word, for many of us, would be Oxford itself did not choose an emoji as its word two years in a row. This year’s word is post-truth, which is a reflection of our fractured political times and the perils of relying on information that is provided without any gatekeepers. Perhaps, then, Oxford’s 2015 foray into emoji was a one time dalliance. Maybe the alphabet and punctuation, which are themselves arbitrary and socially determined symbols, will continue to be the only components that we allow to form into “words.” We will fill the moat to prevent anything from threatening this settled understanding. I hope not. Oxford was onto something in 2015. Alphabetic words are wonderful and enriching instruments of written communication, but they no longer deserve their exclusive status as the only way to convey complex ideas, emotions and thoughts. My guess is that some readers of this post resonated with the angry emoji I posted earlier very viscerally. If I had conveyed the same thought with a string of powerful words, the feeling would have been different. So it is true. A picture is worth a thousand words (or at the very least, the dozen or so words I would have used when I just pasted an emoji instead). I Get It The funny thing is that I love words. Right now I am re-reading Angle of Repose just because I want to, and have two books on tap for my two January book clubs. None of these books contains any pictures, just pages upon pages of glorious words. At museums I look at the painting or sculpture for approximately 3.2 seconds, and then spend however long it takes to read the information card about that item word-for-word. Then I look once again at the art object itself, just briefly. One last example: IKEA directions. Apparently everyone finds those squiggly pictograms easy to follow. Everyone except me. I would much rather have every single step explained in exhaustive prose. So yeah — words. Word lovers should acknowledge, though, that for centuries we have enjoyed an unfair status. The reader and writer was the thoughtful person, everyone else a mere dabbler. This is true even though oral and pictorial speech actually pre-date written communication. Speaking and drawing are innate skills. Writing and reading, on the other hand, are highly artificial acquisitions. Learning to read and write well requires good education and sufficient discretionary income, which of course not everyone enjoys. There is no reason for readers and writers to feel guilty about the advantages they have enjoyed, but it would be good to acknowledge them. In any case, emojis point to a newfound status for visual communication in our internet age. What is old is new again. Readers and writers should come to terms with the diminished status of the alphabet, rather than pining for how things used to be. The Big Tent For every word defender there are those who would love to see words perish. In 2012 Michael Ridley launched his “Beyond Literacy” project, which provocatively claimed that “Reading and writing are doomed.” I admire Ridley’s verve and passion, but zero sum thinking just leaves everyone grumpy. Words are here to stay, and I for one will admire tautly rendered prose for the rest of my life. I will also feel jolts of understanding and connection whenever I see an emoji that perfectly captures my mood and perspective. Win win win. Drain the moats, everybody. Pitch a big tent instead.

Today, California took another important step in planning for the transition to clean energy, a step that’s been a long time coming. To reach the state’s goals of 100% clean electricity and economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2045, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has been tasked with planning the clean electricity transition via its Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) process. The CPUC has a significant amount of discretion over the process; for example, the CPUC can choose to what extent and by when electricity providers must reduce their emissions. Which brings me to the biggest news of the day: at long last, the CPUC has set an even more ambitious emissions reduction target. This is significant because the CPUC is finally being more responsive to the urgent need to reduce global warming emissions, charting a faster course to 100% clean electricity. However, the CPUC is like a giant ship; once it gets going in a certain direction, it takes a lot of time and effort to change course. Today’s decision in the IRP process represents a milestone in a long, sweeping turn. But the turn is not yet over. There are two positive steps that the CPUC took in this decision, but there are also two areas where additional work is badly needed and long overdue. Positive step #1: CPUC sets a lower global warming emissions target Today, the CPUC chose a more ambitious emissions target than it has ever selected before. California’s overall plan to decarbonize the entire economy doesn’t include an exact emissions target that the electricity sector must achieve; instead, the plan has a range. That means that it’s up to the CPUC to decide how quickly to reduce emissions from the grid. The CPUC got off to a disappointing start roughly four years ago when it selected a weak emissions reduction target and planned to reduce electricity sector emissions down to 46 million metric tons (MMT) by 2030. (For reference, 2021 electricity sector emissions in California were roughly 60 MMT.) Over time, the CPUC has gradually ratcheted down the 2030 target, reducing it to 38 MMT two years ago, and reducing it once more to 30 MMT with today’s decision. It took too long, but the CPUC has finally arrived at the 30 MMT emissions target for which UCS actively advocated over the past few years, along with other groups. There were multiple factors that led to this decision, but encouragingly, many electricity providers are already planning to reduce their emissions in line with the lower target, and the costs of meeting the lower target with additional clean resources were relatively small (due in part to federal Inflation Reduction Act incentives). And I have to say, it brought a smile to my face when I learned that not a single organization involved in the IRP process objected to the lower target. Again, it took too long, but it’s a promising sign that everyone is now on board! Positive step #2: CAISO will study gas plant retirements Another encouraging aspect of this decision is that the CPUC has asked the California Independent System Operator (CAISO, the grid operator in most of California) to study a sensitivity scenario that includes a little over 9 gigawatts (GW) of gas power plant retirements by 2035 and more than 15 GW of retirements by 2039. With approximately 40 GW of gas capacity currently in California, 15 GW is a huge chunk of the overall fleet. As part of the IRP process, the CPUC regularly passes along scenarios for the CAISO to study in its transmission planning process. The sensitivity scenarios aren’t usually used as the basis for transmission investment decisions, but sensitivities can provide invaluable information for future planning processes. In this case, the gas retirements sensitivity will enable the CAISO to get a much better handle on the number and costs of transmission upgrades that would be required to enable high levels of gas plant retirements. This information can be used in future planning processes to plan for retirements in much more detail. This development has also been a long time in the making. Starting with our Turning Down the Gas in California analysis in 2018, UCS has been pushing the CPUC to do more thoughtful, proactive planning for gas plant retirements. To be fair, the CPUC has made some progress on this over the years, but this sensitivity study is the biggest step so far. Next step #1: Establishing procurement requirements One of the critical areas of work that needs much more attention from the CPUC is establishing procurement requirements to ensure that California electricity providers meet their IRP goals. Setting goals and planning for the clean energy transition is important, but what really matters is following through on those plans. Year after year, I’ve watched with increasing concern as the data comes in on the previous year’s global warming emissions. Much to my dismay, emissions from California’s electricity sector haven’t really budged since 2017. The CPUC just set an even more ambitious goal for 2030 emissions reductions, and there are now only six years left to deliver. Until now, the CPUC has only implemented ad hoc procurement requirements in the IRP process, nearly all with the express goal of shoring up grid reliability. UCS has long advocated for a more systematic approach to procurement to ensure that California achieves all the goals of the IRP process, including grid reliability and emissions reductions. The good news is that the CPUC has already started to think through how to structure IRP procurement requirements. The bad news is that, after asking for stakeholder feedback on the various options under consideration, it’s been absolute crickets from the CPUC for over a year now. With so much work to do between now and 2030, it’s essential for the CPUC to establish robust procurement requirements ASAP. Otherwise, California risks falling short on its climate goals. Next step #2: Locational planning for gas plant retirements The CPUC also needs to get much more sophisticated in its planning for gas plant retirements on a more localized level. While there were plenty of gas plant retirements in the first half of the 2010s, there haven’t been many in recent years due primarily to reliability concerns. However, the IRP modeling shows that, as California builds more and more clean resources, roughly 2.7 GW of gas capacity will no longer be needed as early as 2026. The CPUC could just let gas plants shut down willy-nilly, leaving market forces and grid reliability requirements as the sole factors determining which plants shut down. Alternatively, the CPUC could prioritize gas plant retirements in California’s disadvantaged communities by proactively planning to bring replacement resources online, which would allow particular plants to shut down. Information from the sensitivity study I mentioned earlier (with 15 GW of gas retirements) could also be instrumental in identifying transmission solutions that enable gas plant retirements in particular areas. All in all, this type of locational planning is badly needed and long overdue. UCS continues to press for locational planning for gas plant retirements to help ensure the transition to clean energy is equitable and just. And I especially appreciate the tireless advocacy of partner organizations that have led the charge on this issue. (I’m looking at you, California Environmental Justice Alliance and Sierra Club. Thank you!) IRP guides the transition to clean electricity California’s IRP process has many goals for the state’s electricity grid: reducing global warming emissions, ensuring grid reliability, keeping down the costs of electricity, minimizing local air pollutants with early priority on disadvantaged communities, and the list goes on. This process is where it all comes together, where California’s electricity providers look ahead 10 to 15 years into the future and craft a plan to meet all these objectives. Critically, this is the venue where the CPUC ensures that electricity providers are planning to build enough solar, wind, energy storage, and other clean resources to meet California’s emissions reduction targets. With so much responsibility, the CPUC’s decisions can have significant consequences for the future of California’s grid. The CPUC has taken positive steps with its decision today, and the giant ship that is the CPUC is indeed slowly turning in the right direction. But the long, sweeping turn isn’t over yet, as the CPUC must now prioritize critical next steps. The success of an equitable and just clean energy transition in California depends on it.

So, it’s been few months since I got my D800. Unfortunately there are issues with the camera – quite infamous focusing issue with left group of focusing sensors. What is even more unfortunate is that Nikon completely denies any problems related to this widely known and proven issue and does not take any responsibility that one would expect from a well know company. After doing focus tests I decided to ship my camera to a Nikon service center in Vancouver, Canada for focus adjustment. Everything sounded rosy – I called Ontario head office and they told me that I can ship my camera to Vancouver. I then called Vancouver and they assured me that everything can be done quickly. I just need to ship my camera in. This is when things started to go wrong. Nikon requires you to ship a camera in it’s original box. They also strongly suggest to insure the shipment. However shipping companies provide insurance (for an extra fee, obviously) only when their employees pack everything. It took a lot of effort to negotiate packing while including the original box. In the end the shipping costs skyrocketed to almost $180. To ship a product that should not have been defective in the first place. Nikon response was “Well, we only ship it back.” meaning “We don’t give a shit about you, really. You have to spend a lot of money to ship a defective product we sold to you. Never mind you not having it for a while”. Before I sent the camera in, I made some test photographs to uncover the issue. I received my camera back in about a week or so. I was excited and hopeful (despite reading that too many people have been getting their cameras back from Nikon with no adjustment done). I set everything up for a test series and when I saw the results I got extremely upset – not only Nikon technical support was unable to make focusing better, but they made it worse, much worse. I have sent my camera in for the second time. This time they actually sent me a shipping label (I doubt there was any insurance on it!). Next day they asked me for my sample photographs which I provided. Few days passed and I requested the status of the service via email and then a follow-up phone call only to receive a brush off reply – “Everything is within Nikon specifications. Pick up your camera.”. I sort of was afraid I would get such an answer but still I got extremely upset and disappointed. Now I am waiting for my camera to be shipped back. Once I have it I will do more testing with different kinds of charts and targets, will attempt some AF fine tuning of my lenses. But based on my investigation into this issue it is highly unlikely that the issue was or will be properly addressed by some ‘adjustments’ – too many people report that multiple services done on their cameras yielded no positive results. If that is going to be the case for my camera I will look into other options and start contacting Nikon’s corporate office to see what can be done about this. To be continued… [Part 2]

August 08, 2023 As summer vacation draws to a close and the back-to-school buzz begins, it's the perfect time to express gratitude to the unsung heroes who shape the minds of the next generation - teachers. Teachers go above and beyond to nurture young minds, and there's no better way to show appreciation than with a meaningful and caring gift. This year, consider gifting your child's teacher with something that goes beyond the usual school supplies - a candle. In this blog post, we'll delve into four reasons why a candle makes a thoughtful back-to-school gift, illuminating the way for teachers to embrace the new school year with warmth and appreciation. 1. A Heartfelt Thank You Teachers often put in countless hours to create engaging lessons and foster a positive learning environment. Gifting a teacher with a candle is a heartfelt way to say "thank you" for their dedication and hard work. Just as a candle emits a warm glow, your gift will brighten their heart and remind them of the positive impact they have on their students. 2. Creating Moments of Relaxation The beginning of the school year can be both exciting and overwhelming for teachers. Amidst busy schedules and responsibilities, a calming moment of relaxation can make a world of difference. Spa-scented candles offer aromatherapy benefits to reduce stress and promote mental clarity. These candles serve as a therapeutic reminder for teachers to take moments of self-care amidst their busy schedules. Scented candles with soothing aromas like vanilla or lavender can offer teachers a moment to unwind and recharge, creating a peaceful sanctuary within their homes. 3. Uplifting Mood and Spirits Candles have a unique ability to uplift moods and elevate spirits. By gifting a teacher with a candle, you are offering them a source of inspiration and encouragement throughout the school year. Each time they light the candle, they'll be reminded of your caring gesture, and it will serve as a constant reminder of the positive impact they make in their students' lives. 4. A Symbol of Enlightenment Just as a candle illuminates the darkness, teachers bring knowledge and enlightenment to their students’ lives. By gifting a teacher with a candle, you are symbolizing their role as a guiding light, leading young minds toward growth and discovery. It's a powerful reminder of the vital role teachers play in shaping the future, which increases motivation throughout the year to continue providing high-quality educational opportunities. When considering candle scents as gifts for teachers, there are several delightful options that can truly capture their dedication and inspire relaxation. The "Ancient Lavender" scent, with its calming and soothing properties, is an ideal choice to help teachers unwind after a long day of imparting knowledge. Alternatively, the "Autumn Harvest" scent evokes a sense of an apple harvest, symbolizing the growth and knowledge nurtured in the classroom. For a more invigorating choice, "Bergamot Oasis" offers a zesty and uplifting aroma that can energize teachers during their lesson planning. Each of these scents serves as a thoughtful reminder of the teacher's impactful work, offering moments of tranquility or revitalization amidst their busy schedules. As the new school year begins, let's take a moment to acknowledge the dedication and compassion of teachers. Gifting a teacher with a candle as a back-to-school present is a caring gesture that speaks volumes about your appreciation for their hard work. As the candle illuminates their space, it will also light up their heart with warmth and gratitude. This year let's make sure that our teachers feel valued and cherished as they embark on a new journey of guiding young minds. A candle can be the perfect token of appreciation, reminding them of the positive impact they have in shaping the future, one young mind at a time. January 10, 2024 Happy New Year! I hope the start of 2024 has been filled with joy, warmth, and moments of relaxation. As we step into January, I am excited to share our new monthly newsletter with you.

Over the past couple of years, Wiltshire has attracted front page attention around the world due to the Novichok attacks that took place in 2018. It’s not a county that regularly draws the attention of the world’s press, but it has been building an impressive reputation as one of the UK’s 5 best places to do business. Bounded by Swindon to the north, and Salisbury to the south, Wiltshire occupies an enviable location in the south west. Whether you’re commuting to London, travelling from Heathrow, linking up with clients in Bristol, or visiting offices in Cardiff the transport connections are great. There’s currently 38,000 businesses that have chosen to locate in this beautiful county. Between them they generate a sizeable £18 billion. Demand for Business Storage in Wiltshire is High It comes as no surprise, therefore, that demand for business storage in Wiltshire is growing in excess of the national average. Whether it’s companies moving office, corporate headquarters undergoing refurbishment, or start ups using storage as a cost-effective stock room, Wiltshire businesses are finding creative ways to take advantage of local storage solutions. As demand grows, so do the storage facilities. With so many now to choose from, how can businesses be sure that they’re choosing the right solution for their requirements? We’ve put together 5 checks we recommend businesses carry out before making their decision: Is the Location Local? Whatever your reason for needing business storage, local facilities make sense. Ideally, you should be able to access your storage container quickly and simply throughout business hours. It’s a good idea to check out any storage facilities you’re considering before making your decision. Is there a well-maintained car park? Is there bright lighting for winter afternoons? Does it feel secure? Get a Generously Sized Container Your storage container isn’t a box, it’s a room full of things you’re likely to want to access quickly and easily. Don’t be tempted to skimp on space and make do with a tightly packed storage unit. You’ll only waste time taking everything out in order to try and find something that will inevitably be lurking at the bottom. What’s the Security Like? Don’t take anyone’s word when it comes to security; check out the facility first hand. You’ll want to know that entry to the site is secured by access control, that 24 hour CCTV is installed throughout, and that access to all containers is ‘client-only’. You should be offered a unique password, or key code to access your unit, and feel assured that security really is a priority across the site. Professional storage management includes environmental monitoring and high standards of cleanliness, fire protection and pest control. You’ll know from a visit to a storage facility whether it feels well maintained. There should also be policies covering each of the environmental standards. Get this wrong and you could find that your goods gradually deteriorate because of the storage conditions. You’re looking for professionals to take care of your goods. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, and if you don’t get satisfactory answers, you know to look elsewhere. Most important, you need to feel that these people would ‘go the extra mile’ should there be a problem. If they seem disengaged, uninterested, or abrupt you probably shouldn’t trust your business storage with them.

As the cost of living increases and disposable income continues to be squeezed, it’s critical that employers take a role in helping employees stretch their salaries and manage their financial wellbeing. It’s worrying, then, that only 16 per cent of employees say that their company has a financial wellbeing solution and just under half of employees don’t agree that their company shows they care about employee’s mental, physical, and financial wellbeing. Furthermore 7 in 10 workers admit they have felt stress or financial strain in the last five years, and half feel their company could do more to show they care about their financial, physical and mental wellbeing. Debra Corey, Reward Gateway’s Global Reward Director, said: “Employers need an engaged workforce to succeed, and a key part of achieving this comes in supporting employees with their wellbeing. While good headway has already been made with mental and physical wellbeing, our data has found a gap in financial wellbeing support, which is more prevalent than ever with the cost of living rising and disposable income decreasing. “As an employer, you can help your employees get through some of the tougher financial times by finding creative ways to extend their disposable income and putting more money back in their wallets. Last year, our clients’ employees saved £174.3 million through benefits such as supermarket and retailer discounts, subsidised gym memberships, salary deductions, childcare vouchers, cycle-to-work schemes and more.” Jasmine Birtles, financial expert and founder of MoneyMagpie, said: ‘A lack of financial knowledge, and the problems this causes in terms of debt, lack of savings and chaotic home lives can (and usually does) impact employee performance at work. “Crucially, employers that take a proactive approach to the financial wellbeing of its employees, will see remarkably different fortunes in 2018 to those that don’t. This is why I’ve teamed up with Reward Gateway to provide a starting-point eBook to help to ensure that they can be prepared and support employees that may be struggling with their financial wellbeing.”

Looking for a comfort read? I’d recommend picking up Alisha Rai’s Girl Gone Viral. The second book in the Modern Love series, Girl Gone Viral follows Katrina, who thinks nothing of sharing a table with a stranger in a crowded coffee shop until she discovers that someone else was live-tweeting their entire conversation. Katrina and her bodyguard Jas retreat to his family’s peach farm, hoping to stay off the grid until the viral post dies down. Along the way, sparks start flying as they discover their secret feelings for each other. Here, I asked Rai about the process of writing Katrina’s experiences in therapy, the concept of happiness, and what readers can expect from the third book. This book features the mutual pining trope: both the hero, Jas, and heroine, Katrina, secretly have feelings for each other. What inspired you to write this trope? Honestly, with everything going on in the world, I craved writing something a little simpler, and nothing to me is more quietly sweet than an unrequited crush. I just wanted to write about two good, kind people who like each other very much falling more in love and learning how to communicate with each other. Seeing good people be happy feels priceless right now, as far as a mood boost goes. A refrain throughout the book is “happiness is a radical act.” It inspires and drives Katrina to live her life the way she wants to after years of being controlled by her father. What does this quote mean to you? I’ve often felt that it’s harder to write a happy ending than a tragic ending, and I suppose that quote is part of the reason why. It shouldn’t be, but happiness is subversive. It’s not the baseline in the world, it’s the thing you get in spite of everything and everyone that wants to squish you down. I also think happiness and love are verbs. So if someone wants you to be miserable, and you find happiness instead… yeah, I think happiness is a radical act. Even before their brief meeting goes viral, Katrina doesn’t get a good vibe from Ross. She sees the spine of his book is cracked and thinks to herself that it’s bad bookworm behavior (but not necessarily a deal-breaker). What book-related behaviors would make you swipe left? I am oddly not precious at all about my books! So short of burning or gleefully tearing up, I think I’d overlook the occasional cracked spine myself. I’ve been known to dog ear a page here and there, so who am I to cast stones. You went viral after you wrote Girl Gone Viral—over an innocent tweet ironically about a date’s behavior in a coffee shop. Is there anything you would’ve done differently in this book if you wrote it now? The only thing I might have changed is that now I feel like maybe I can better understand how panic inducing it can be to become the focus of (what feels like) the entire internet. Katrina has PTSD and panic disorder and retreated to a farm; I have neither of those, and I was ready to run away to the moon. Therapy is an important part of Katrina’s routine as she manages her PTSD and panic disorder, and even side characters mention going in for a “tune-up” when needed. What was the research process like when crafting the elements that connected to Katrina’s mental health? I love therapy and it’s helped me a lot, so I’m always looking for ways to destigmatize it and mental health care. My main goal when I write is for the reader to understand where my characters are coming from, so I spend a lot of time thinking about what makes them tick. I honestly think the key is to walk into their heads armed with a ton of research—book research, but especially interviews with mental health professionals and people who have dealt with similar trauma—and sensitivity and kindness. The heroines of the first two books in the Modern Love series are both dealing with scars left from previous trauma involving a power imbalance (one from a boss, and one from a father). What drew you to shaping a series around heroines dealing with these experiences, and how did you approach writing their experiences in a way that’s both sensitive and realistic? I try to write characters who are as realistic as possible—psychologically—obviously, a dating app CEO is a little out of the norm. In real life, we often carry trauma and issues from past relationships, and brains are wonderfully unique. I love writing characters who are loved for their whole selves… and if you see a character as a whole person, it’s hard not to be sensitive to them. Something I loved about this book is that the characters in Katrina’s life (particularly Jas) do not question or push back on the choices Katrina makes when it comes to caring for her mental health. Aside from giving readers a respectful hero and a heroine with a stellar support system, what inspired that choice? I like to think that my characters make a space for each other to navigate a world that may not have ready spaces for them. They help each other achieve whatever it is they want, and part of that is understanding and respecting each other. Maybe it’s an aspirational universe, but if it is, it’s an achievable one. Family-owned businesses are a really integral aspect of both this series and your Forbidden Hearts series—how they’re managed, how legacy is passed down, the tensions they inevitably create. As a writer, what keeps bringing you back to this theme? I really like to write about families and complications, and nothing is more complicated to me than a family business. I’m pretty sure this may be my childhood of watching soaps with my grandma coming out, too. Everyone had a dynasty, and it was so much drama! Can you tell us anything about the next book in the series? Right now I’m working on my little influencer, Jia, the heroine of the third book in the Modern Love series. It’s like Cyrano de Bergerac meets Catfish via DMs that works out really well. It’ll make sense when you read it. What have you read recently that you’ve loved and would recommend to our readers? Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn was my most recent five star read. I’m also currently reading and loving Suzanne Park‘s Loathe at First Sight, and it’s out in August. As far as quarantine comfort reads, though? Nalini Singh’s entire backlist is vast and wonderful. Alisha Rai pens award-winning contemporary romances and her novels have been named Best Books of the Year by Washington Post, NPR, Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, Kirkus, and Cosmopolitan Magazine. When she’s not writing, Alisha is traveling or tweeting.

OPTIMUM LIGHT PLAN REQUIRES CUSTOMISED SOLUTION In order to achieve optimal production and the highest possible uniformity, it is important to have sufficient light reception, the right light recipe, and the optimum light intensity for the product that is being cultivated. These aspects must also take the location in the world into account. All of these aspects contribute to achieving consistently high production and crop quality. We use a light plan to determine exactly what this uniform light distribution will look like. Each type of crop and every variety, greenhouse construction and location in the world requires an individual approach. This means that the optimum light plan must be tailor-made. The light intensity and uniformity are determined by: - The type of light source / spectrum of the light source, the number of fixtures - Distance between fixtures in the row - Distance between the rows of fixtures - The available height in the greenhouse Boyalite’s engineers have decades of experience in creating light plans to suit growers’ own situations and goals. They do this using light calculation software specially designed by Boyalite.

Previously, prolific horror exploitation director Pete Jacelone (I cover much of his output here) has indulged in making explicitly repulsive, fictional homo-horrotic takes on real life serial killer John Wayne Gacy (my blog here). The Cannibal Killer: The Real Story of Jeffrey Dahmer is prefaced with a message letting us know a) this is a fictionalized account, b) the intention is not to disrespect the families of the victims, and c) the stance in making this fictionalized account is nonetheless an effort to present the facts of Dahmer’s story. Don’t get me wrong. The Cannibal Killer is still sure to offend plenty of viewers, but it is more of a low budget docuhorror than his previous efforts, which seemed to have one goal—to make us squirm with shock and disgust. Being quite familiar with the stories of the serial killers Pete tackles, I noticed immediately that as fucked up as his other films are, the Dahmer story is much more disturbing because it’s presented as an intimate journey with the killer through his crimes—told to us by Dahmer as he looks right at the camera like a cast member on a reality show in confessional clips. Starting with Dahmer’s attraction to dead animals as a child, the film briefly touches upon incidents leading to “the making of a serial killer”. There is definitely revisionist fiction here, but it is still a disturbing reminder of how an actual person could morph into a monster, and how a man’s loathing of his own sexual orientation can serve as a catalyst for unthinkable horrors. Watching the sexualizing of Dahmer’s encounters with each victim is extremely uncomfortable to say the least—as it should be, because just as with the Gacy case, it’s hard to imagine how Dahmer was able to “seduce” his victims before flipping a switch that turned on his ability to do heinous things to them. The movie doesn’t hold back, showing Dahmer gleefully killing, cooking, and eating victims. Dahmer also delves into his technique of making men into “zombies” by drilling into their heads then pouring acid into their brains. The scenes are crafted to be a brutal depiction of what may have transpired once Dahmer’s victims were in his apartment, yet I still didn’t feel they simply resorted to gore so disgusting you want to puke. Maybe because I’ve kind of scene it all in horror before at this point. Not sure. Depending on how you look at it, the scenes may seem to be glorifying the murders because they are so shamelessly graphic compared to the way they’re handled in other Dahmer movies. For me they’re so sleazy and sick that they also have a major impact when you stop to think it’s close to what victims of Dahmer and many other serial killers go through in the last moments of their lives. Outside of Dahmer and his victims, there are a few scenes featuring other characters, but they feel a little off in tone. There’s an oddly, darkly humorous instance when Dahmer’s grandmother makes a surprise discovery. And a scene based on a factual aspect of the Dahmer story has one of his zombified boys escaping and begging two women on the street for help. Compared to the raw quality of the kill scenes, the low budget indie quality here makes the situation come across more like a goofy game of charades. Not to mention the fact-based encounter is rather whitewashed; everyone involved is Caucasian, which wasn’t the case in reality. The final act of The Cannibal Killer plays out as a series of his pickups turned murder, so it does begin to get a bit repetitive and feel exploitative, but an unexpected occurrence throws Dahmer off his game at the end. The final scene makes for a rather disheartening comment on how Dahmer’s inability to tame the monster inside and just enjoy a well-adjusted life led to the tragic deaths of so many innocent young men.

For you to be in a position to make your own cryptocurrency, here are some of the things for you to follow. Build A Blockchain The first step towards creating the best cryptocurrency is building a blockchain. Blockchain technology is the background and of every cryptocurrency that you see in the world today. A blockchain has contained the details of each cryptocurrency. It is a ledger that shows the background of every cryptocurrency that you have. It also shows more details of who owned the cryptocurrency coins previously before you. The best cryptocurrencies have a very effective blockchain technology. All the software that you see on the internet is made out of code. This is the same case with cryptocurrency. Fortunately, a majority of the cryptocurrency is made using the same code. Mainly, cryptocurrencies are made using C++ code. You can outsource all the codes you need from GitHub and use them to make your cryptocurrency. However, the code will vary from your specifics. If your blockchain is longer and faster you must add programs for that. Generally, programs can vary from one week to several months when making a blockchain. In order to make the best cryptocurrency, one needs to ensure he has put the greatest level of security to be observed. There are hackers everywhere and it is always your role to alienate the hackers. One powerful tool that has been used to alienate hackers is the use of private and public keys. This is because every key is generated from the previous key. Through the use of cryptography, each key can be traced from the first transaction ever made. You should also ensure that you create a pool of miners. For a stable cryptocurrency like bitcoin? anyone can be a miner. A miner does two things. -Creates the crypto coin -Authenticates the cryptocurrency. You must form a standard way of creating and authenticating your cryptocurrency. Access The Market Needs Many cryptocurrency experts have said that the most important part is accessing the market needs. You should be keen and observe what other cryptocurrencies are not offering and offer them yourself. If we look at the biggest cryptocurrency in the market, today bitcoin. It was formed to bring faster transactions to the online world. Bitcoin also gained much recognition because it was able to hide the identity of the users. They remained anonymous but one could still make a legit transaction. These are the most important parts to keep into consideration when creating a cryptocurrency. To make a very successful cryptocurrency, you need to ensure that you are able to do proper marketing of your cryptocurrency. This means going to merchants and requesting them to accept your cryptocurrency as their mode of payment. These are generally some of the best ways in creating a crypto coin.

I hadn’t expected to be drawn to reread David Satter’s It Was a Long Time Ago and it Never Happened Anyway examining the horrors of the Stalin era and the aftermath which continues to this day. However, current affairs and the state of the world made its siren call irresistible. (A previous article drew heavily from it.) It’s not that the book is a bad one, quite the contrary. It’s excellent, enthralling, appalling, sickening, frightening. At least, it was 10 years ago when it came out. Now, under the harsh spotlight of the last few years, it’s all that and more; frankly, it’s terrifying. What a complacent fool I was when I read it for the first time. I sat in my armchair and tut-tutted my way through, shaking my head, wondering how on earth such monstrous crimes and summary executions could ever have eventuated as they did. Nothing like that would ever happen in my lifetime, let alone to me. There would be signs along the way, wouldn’t there, where we could correct any dangerous societal tendencies? Surely! Reading it now, the same awful patterns and reactions from that era are disturbingly recognisable in today’s society. In the following extract, Lyubov Shaporina describes in her diary how she felt about the way executions were discussed: The nausea rises to my throat when I hear how calmly people can say it: He was shot, someone else was shot, shot, shot. The word is always in the air, it resonates through the air. People pronounce words completely calmly, as though they were saying “He went to the theatre.” I think that the real meaning of the word does not reach our consciousness – all we hear is the sound. We don’t have a mental image of those people actually dying under the bullets….the words ‘shot’ and ‘arrested’ don’t make the slightest impact on young people.” The faces of ordinary people standing in long lines are “dull faced, embittered, haggard.” “It is unbearable,” she wrote, “to live in the middle of it all. It’s like walking around a slaughter house, with the air saturated with the smell of blood and carrion.” (emphasis added) How calmly now we observe the spate of heart attacks, strokes and deadly collapses all around us, in young people, athletes, and middle-aged, too young to die. A stroke, we say, a heart attack. How calmly and readily we adopt a new acronym, SADS. How calmly we note the push to get defibrillators on every street corner. How calmly we say sudden stage four cancer, how calmly we say all cause mortality and excess deaths are rising, and fertility falling. And how calmly we listen to our executioners ‘experts’ as they tell us to take a third, fourth, fifth, shot, shot, shot. Talk about a slaughterhouse. One page later, Satter writes: In a gruesome way, the Great Terror primed Leningrad for the mass slaughter that was to come. During 1937-38, the city suffered at the hands of its own rulers. During the war it was besieged by a foreign enemy. But the murder of tens of thousands of selected individuals during the Terror prepared the people of the city to be sacrificed in the hundreds of thousands in the interests of the Soviet state. The principle had been established that the objectives of the state, justified or not, were the highest objectives of all. (emphasis added) The whole world ‘suffered at the hands of its own rulers’ in the last few years. Melbourne certainly did. Perhaps not murder, but suffering for sure. It makes you wonder who, exactly, are our rulers? I dread to think what this experience has prepared us for. It sounds like an exam question 50 years from now : “The Great Terror is to WWII as the COVID era is to ???” There’s no doubt that there is a collective memory and response now hard-wired into once-democratic societies, those like the people of Melbourne who bounced and lurched from lockdown to lockdown to lockdown to lockdown to lockdown to lockdown. The auto-response is to lie down like a lamb and take what’s coming. We’ve been exposed as cowards. God help us next time. Satter interviewed Yuri Zhigalkin about his experience in his native town of Korsakov in the 1970s. Looking back at that time he describes a general way of living that just got on with the basics. (Satter): “What the regime was telling its people and telling the world was cartoonish, but within that cartoon people were living a normal life?“ (Zhigalkin): “Exactly. That’s why some people miss that kind of life. At that time, their life was based on primitive things.” It does feel to me like we are living within a cartoon. Donning masks that can’t possibly work, following arrows around stores, standing on the stickers, leaning around the perspex screens at the supermarket checkout. These are childish manifestations of megalomaniacal dictators’ and their apparatchiks’ whimsical deliberations: sit down to drink ok, stand up to drink not ok. Only yesterday South Australia Chief Health Officer Nicola Spurrier (the same one who advised fans attending a football game to avoid touching the ball should it be kicked into the crowd, for fear of you-know-what) said during an interview ahead of the Christmas period “Father Christmas, you should have had your four doses of vaccine.” Here is the bureaucrat at the top of the health politburo literally talking out loud, on camera, to a figment of her imagination – and we’re supposed to take her seriously. Does she hear voices as well? What are the voices saying to her? It’s beyond a joke now. But somehow, within that stupid cartoon, Melburnians and New Yorkers and Londoners alike managed to live their ‘normal’ life, somehow earning a living, caring for kids and elders, educating and celebrating, marrying and giving birth. Not everyone, of course. Not the suicides, not the ones who lost livelihoods, homes, marriages. But enough to give the impression that life carried on as normal. Will we ever shake off that cartoon and live in 4K Ultra HD again? I doubt it, not if our health officials keep experiencing these psychotic episodes. Let’s assume for the moment, though it’s by no means guaranteed, that the COVID era will in fact become a time-bound relic of the past, as opposed to an embedded dystopia that lasts into the foreseeable future. Is it too soon to begin talking about ‘survivors’ of the COVID era? Who will they be? How will they talk about that time to younger generations, or to visitors from the few countries that didn’t fall into the trap? Satter writes: In speaking about the Stalin period, the typical remark from survivors and ordinary citizens was the the years of mass killings were “terrible times,” a valid observation but one that implied that the terror was unavoidable, like the weather, and beyond any individual’s control. (emphasis added) I already hear this kind of language: “Of course we couldn’t do that during lockdown” or “During COVID it was hard.” There is a reluctance to dwell on the horrors of the lockdowns and the vaccine mandates; better to get it all out of the way quickly with ‘“terrible time” and move on. Who will have the courage or the energy 20, 30, 50 years from now to tell it like it was? Will it even be possible? That depends entirely on whether we heed the lessons of Russia, or whether we let ourselves fall into the cold embrace of totalitarianism. We’re hearing the slogans already from the WEF: ‘You’ll own nothing and be happy.” Will we fall for it, or resist? Besides security, Communism gave Russians a sense that their lives had meaning. The relation between man and God was replaced with the relation between man and the regime. The result was the elimination of a sense of universal values which depend on a supramundane source. But Russians received in exchange Marxism’s “class values” and a regime that treated itself as a single generator of absolute truth.(emphasis added) Saint Jacinda has already told the inmates of Aotearoa (a.k.a. citizens of New Zealand) that she is their single source of truth. The West is well on the way to capitulation. The question is, what are we going to do about it? I’m not sure that staying calm is the answer.

Posted on: April 8, 2024 The purpose of this series is to educate consumers on some simple principles that will take the mystery out of the often-complex world of managing one’s financial affairs. The first distinction is to realize there are only seven key variables that can be managed in creating your financial future and wealth. These variables are: Posted on: February 12, 2024 These days, having a career presents many more new rewards and challenges than it ever used to. What we used to take for granted – including our work location – can sometimes change dramatically as companies continue to change and adapt to new economic situations. This can be great for a business and its bottom line, but really tough on the employees within it. Because we never know exactly what the future holds, you may find yourself facing a job transfer at some point along your career path. Posted on: January 15, 2024 Many clients in their 50's and 60's are increasingly worried about the finances of their aging parents. This is especially true when it is difficult to predict interest income on investments. They often ask: 'How do I talk to them about their care and their finances?' This topic raises many sensitive family dynamics including the adult child who is uncomfortable raising the topic with their parents and parents who are in denial or not comfortable discussing these personal care and financial issues with their children. Posted on: December 11, 2023 Most people want to be wealthy, or at least financially independent. The sad truth is that very few people are financially independent when they reach retirement. The rest are dependent to some extent on others or government benefits for their daily money needs. Far too many people today live a lifestyle that is under a mountain of consumer debt. In many cases, that debt follows them into retirement. There are simple strategies to achieve financial independence; however, they may not necessarily be easy to follow. Posted on: December 11, 2023 The last year or so has been a very rude awakening for many. Too many people today are so busy living a lifestyle, they forget that emergencies may need to be dealt with. It's all too easy to take one's cash flow for granted and get lulled into the belief that it will go on uninterrupted. Those who are best able to handle the financial rainy days that inevitably come along are in the habit of living well below their means and paying themselves first. Posted on: November 13, 2023 November is financial literacy month - a great time to reflect on your relationship with money and the decisions you make that guide you toward a secure future. Financial literacy is a set of five key skills that help Canadians navigate the complex world of personal finance with clarity, empowering them to achieve their important financial goals. These key pillars of financial literacy typically include the following: Posted on: July 10, 2023 Managing personal finances effectively is crucial for long-term financial stability and security. However, many consumers often fall prey to common financial mistakes that can hinder their progress and lead to unnecessary stress. By understanding these pitfalls and taking proactive steps to avoid them, individuals can make smarter financial decisions and pave the way for a more prosperous future. In this article, we will highlight seven common financial mistakes that consumers should be aware of and provide practical tips on how to avoid them. Posted on: March 13, 2023 As the recent pandemic crisis made its way around the world, creating havoc in its wake, we can be thankful most Canadians were able to weather the storm in fairly good financial shape. Now Canadians are mostly concerned about spike in the interest rates and how that will impact their financial and retirement plans during the next few years. While nobody can ever solve national or international crises personally, we can still focus on our own financial situation. Here are 5 keys for achieving sanity in your personal finances: Posted on: December 13, 2021 Now may be the perfect time to teach your children about financial independence. There are plenty of real-life examples in the media of how not to manage your finances. To really teach children money management skills, they must learn to handle money personally and to make consequential decisions on how to manage it. Posted on: April 13, 2020 Before a sky scraper can reach for the clouds, it needs a very strong foundation. Once the building is complete, the foundation is virtually unseen. The same goes for a financial strategy. The following are the basics of a strong financial foundation: Budget - Governments and businesses use budgets to properly allocate resources. It's known as good business. A budget can help you figure out where your hard earned income is going and to identify ways to cut spending or increase savings.

It’s no real secret that Arsenal are chasing a new striker at present, with it yet to be seen whether Mikel Arteta and co will act decisively this month, or patiently wait until the summer in order to get their man. Either way, the addition of a leading number nine has become a necessity in 2024 for the Gunners, with both Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah having failed to convince as the starting option through the middle this season – the pair scoring just eight league goals between them. Having also allowed Folarin Balogun – who has eight goals and assists in just 14 Ligue 1 outings this term – to depart for Monaco on a permanent deal over the summer, the north Londoners will have to look elsewhere in order to find a prolific solution to ease their goalscoring woes. With the transfer rumour mill currently churning, the name on everybody’s lips is Brentford talisman, Ivan Toney, albeit with reports indicating that the Bees are likely to demand around £100m for the 27-year-old, despite the fact that he is yet to feature this season. While many supporters will be hoping that the Emirates outfit are able to stump up the required cash to get that deal done regardless – with rivals Chelsea also sniffing around – it would be wise to also consider possible alternatives to the Englishman. That hunt for other options has seemingly led the Gunners toward the Serie A market, with Arteta appearing to have taken notice of one sparkling young talent who is arguably “one of the most interesting strikers in Italy” – as hailed by talent scout Jacek Kulig. Latest on Arsenal’s striker search As per a report from the Telegraph’s Sam Dean earlier this week, the Premier League side are believed to be “admirers” of Bologna sensation, Joshua Zirkzee and are currently keeping a “close eye” on the 22-year-old marksman. Said to be valued at around half that of Toney – with a £50m price tag noted – the former Bayern Munich man is still “unlikely” to be making a move to England this month, though he would certainly represent a far more affordable option than the Brentford man. The Gunners may also want to act quickly amid claims that Manchester United are also keeping tabs on the Dutchman amid their search to find a competitor to Rasmus Hojlund, with suitors circling for the in-form talent. While splashing out £50m on a player who scored just two league goals last season could look like a significant gamble, Zirkzee’s heroics this term are certainly a cause for excitement. Joshua Zirkzee’s style of play It is fair to say that Zirkzee’s previous stint at a truly elite club didn’t exactly go to plan, having begun his professional career on the books at Bayern, only to then make just 17 first-team appearances for the Bundesliga giants, scoring only four goals. As history will tell us, that lack of success at the Allianz Arena should not dissuade the Gunners from making a move, with Thierry Henry, for instance, having been happily moved on by Juventus prior to exploding at Highbury, while Dennis Bergkamp was also shipped off by Inter Milan after just two years at San Siro, only to then enjoy a glittering decade in north London. While it may be a bold comparison to make, it is the latter whom Zirkzee may be looking to emulate, with the former Netherlands U21 international – who would also be moving from Italy to England – having shown shades of Bergkamp in recent times. That was evident back in August as the £50m-rated hotshot produced a “stunning Bergkamp-like turn” in Bologna’s Coppa Italia win over Cesena – in the words of writer Stephen Kasiewicz – expertly sending the opposition defender for the proverbial hot dog, before duly prodding home. Such a moment of genius, as Kasiewicz hinted at, was akin to his compatriot’s delightful turn and finish for the Gunners against Newcastle United back in 2002, suggesting that Zirkzee could be the next Dutch star to dazzle for the north Londoners. In a similar vein the now-retired icon – who Paul Merson described as the “greatest Arsenal player of all time” – the emerging superstar has that silky quality to his game to also get involved in the build-up, having been hailed as a “creator” and “one of the most complete” strikers by data analyst, Ben Mattinson. Of course, Arsenal may be looking for an out-and-out finisher rather than a Bergkamp-esque second striker, yet – as Mattinson has suggested – the former Anderlecht ace could “reach new heights” at the Emirates with regard to his “goal output”, if supported by the likes Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. Zirkzee’s season by numbers On the face of it, the £19k-per-week gem’s goal return this season has not been overly eye-catching, having scored eight goals and contributed four assists in all competitions, including bagging seven goals and two assists in 19 Serie A outings. Zirkzee’s Serie A season by numbers – 2023/24 19 games (18 starts) 8 ‘big chances’ created 1.3 key passes per game 1 ‘big chance’ missed 4 left foot goals 3 right foot goals 7.14 avg. match rating As mentioned previously, however, that return in the league, in particular, is far beyond the record of both Jesus and Nketiah, with the current Arsenal duo contributing just two assists between them in the Premier League. Equally, Zirkzee has prior experience with regard to enjoying a particularly clinical campaign in front of goal, having scored 18 times – and chipped in with 13 assists – across all fronts while on loan in Belgium back in 2021/22. The 23-year-old could challenge White for his place. Again, the desire for those at the Emirates will be to add a 20-goal-a-season striker to improve upon their current options, yet as Mattinson noted, being blessed with the service of the likes of Odegaard and Saka should allow Zirkzee to thrive in an Arsenal shirt and vastly improve upon his previous goal returns. That may not be a risk that Arteta is willing to take, yet with the club having seen one Dutch star thrive after making the move to the Premier League from Serie A, what’s stopping history from repeating itself in 2024?

In a startling turn of events, Billy Markus, the co-founder of the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin, has made a statement that has sent ripples through the crypto community. Known for his witty and often satirical commentary, Markus took to X (formerly Twitter) with an unexpected plea directed at Bitcoin, the world’s leading digital currency. In a whimsical tweet, Markus playfully urged Bitcoin to reach the staggering value of $1 million per coin while he slept. “Dear Bitcoin, please go to 1 million dollars per coin while i am sleeping. Thanks,” he wrote, echoing his signature humorous tone. This statement from the Dogecoin co-founder came as a surprise, as Dogecoin was initially created as a light-hearted parody of the cryptocurrency craze. Markus and his colleague, Jackson Palmer, introduced Dogecoin in 2013 as a satirical response to the wild speculation surrounding cryptocurrencies at the time. Markus Sparks Bitcoin Speculation While the context behind Markus’ statement remains unclear, it has undoubtedly captured the attention of crypto enthusiasts and investors alike. The timing of the tweet is particularly noteworthy, as it coincided with Bitcoin’s recent 11% decline from its newly established all-time high of $73,737. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin was trading at $65,839, up 1.39% in the last 24 hours. However, the flagship cryptocurrency had experienced a dip to as low as $60,760 in the past week due to decreasing demand for U.S. exchange-traded funds holding Bitcoin. As the crypto community speculates on the implications of Markus’ statement, one thing is certain: the co-founder of Dogecoin has once again demonstrated his ability to captivate and amuse with his unique brand of humor and satire.

We live in a time when many people prefer not to take things to a universal conclusion. People prefer to preach tolerance of all conclusions in the hope that tolerance will become the universal conclusion. Their hope is we will all finally get along when all conclusions are equally valid. Even though tolerance has become one of the few cherished virtues left in western cultures, tolerance cannot save humanity from reality. Reality comes to conclusions and so must we. If there is a hope for all of humanity it will take finding the right conclusion about reality. Tolerance should be a part of this human search, but tolerance cannot be the goal of this search. Reality must be taken seriously by all. Reality has the final word. Jesus clearly said that He is the revelation of all the reality that saves humanity. He said he was, is and always will be truth spoken in love for humanity. He claimed to be the final word. Jesus declared Himself to be the universal conclusion. Jesus as the universal conclusion is what historic Christianity has always affirmed. Jesus as the universal reality is what Christians have tried to live. It is arriving at Jesus as our conclusion which has allowed Christians to be tolerant of others who still search for the conclusion. Christians risk their lives in many cultures calling people to come to a universal conclusion about Jesus because some cultures allow no search for conclusions beyond what they affirm. The most tolerant cultures on earth have developed out of Christian conclusions about Jesus. Jesus gave people time and space to come to Him as the conclusion. He still does through his disciples. The logical conclusion about Jesus is he either was or was not all he claimed to be. Christians believe Jesus is the loving conclusion concerning everything. Not everyone believes He is. Some violently affirm He is not. Jesus never asked that people would tolerate Him. Reality is not to be simply tolerated. Jesus clearly called people to come to a believing conclusion about Him. By what He said and by what He did He continues to allow humanity to come to a conclusion about Him and then live Him as that conclusion. Where Christians live Jesus as the loving universal conclusion, tolerance will be present. Where tolerance is made the universal conclusion expect to see people become intolerant of those who insist that conclusions do matter. Jesus remains humanity’s best hope for a satisfying conclusion to reality and the best hope for tolerance among the searchers.

Considering all the experience that we’ve previously had with doing entertainment industry building construction, we’ve seen this multiplex cinema as an easy business. But what we did not take… Ask any construction business professional or an architect if they suffer from tantrums when penning their contract drawings, and you are more than likely to hear an enthusiastically frustrated, “YES!” Oh yes, the old 2D contract drawings, also called “plans” or “blueprints” or just “drawings”… They were bulky, hard to read, and difficult to be read through in between the construction site and the office. But even with all of this newfangled 3D modeling and the virtual or augmented reality devices, these blueprints continue to bring the construction industry down! But actually, there’s one quite valid reason that they won’t go away anytime soon. It’s because they are a part of the contract for every entity involved with the project. As construction professionals, we simply require at least one static version of a document, which clearly outlines our respective scopes of work. Subsequently, newer versions of these contract drawings emerge, as it happens for a majority of projects. Unsurprisingly, we struggle to keep up with all those full-sized and half-sized sets of paper plans and in keeping them updated accordingly… To understand how actually deep this issue is, imagine a project engineer who has just received an addendum to initial contract drawings, which replaces 50 of the 500 sheets in the set. Imagine him taking the three bolts out that bind the sheets together and then coping to locate where does exactly each sheet goes, leafing them in one by one, and then dog-earing and marking each outdated sheet as “VOID.” Think about how stupendous and monotonous a task like this is. Now imagine how would you feel if you were the manager of this project, who’s paying $50 per hour or more for the work. What’s worse, it’s not just a solo set of prints your team needs to update. Can you imagine how many other teams on this project have to do the exact same thing for each change that comes out? This image is not only horrifying; it is costly, frustrating, and very unproductive. What you just pictured is the reality of contract documents. I’ve learned that the hard way, because I’m a project engineer. So why, with all of the digital drawing solutions available, are we still using paper at all? The answer is that there are several use cases for viewing and manipulating (marking up) drawings. For example, tablets and smartphones are great for referencing while walking the construction site, while typical PC displays are fine for many tasks involving the drawings. Nevertheless, for some activities, such as takeoffs, group discussion, or even “studying the project,” construction professionals tend to prefer a full-scale format, in which we can view larger portions or all of the drawings without excessive zooming in or panning. Though the tool we now have available are touch-enabled LCD panels, provided by companies such as BoxLight and iPlanTables , which have served as a digital solution for large-sized drawings for several years and are good at what they do. However, to put a 70-100lb, the cart-mounted system in your office or cubicle may require some rearranging or may become impossible. That’s why so many constructions and architecture firms purchase just one or two to place in a centralized location in the office if they buy any of these at all. Resistance to behavioral patterns change is the main reason which attributes to the AEC industry being so slow in adopting to a new and better technology. That’s why what may resonate better with people like me is a paper-like experience, flat on your desk or plan table. However, using tried and true paper has its costs on today’s fast-paced construction business. So, the real question should actually be, “How much do paper blueprints really cost you?” Statistics show that the price for reworking from poor document control can range anywhere from .12% to .72% of a construction budget. This equates to roughly $9B annually in the U.S.and times more for construction businesses worldwide… See below a quick summary of the expenses associated wit employing the old-fashioned paper contract drawings, as well as the expenses cuts that can be easily achieved with switching to a digital format: - We’ll look at the cost savings for one architect or o construction professional. - We’ll suppose that he or she is working on an average of 10 projects yearly. - Assume the average project constitutes 300 drawing sheets for one set, including all revisited versions of it. - At $2.00 per sheet to print, that is $600/project x 10 projects/yr = $6,000/year on paper for drawings. - Assume an upheld rate of $63/hr for the professional’s time. - Assume the professional spends couple of hours per addendum to update a paper set. - Assume 3 addenda per project. - That is 30 addenda updates x 2 hrs/update x $63/hr = $3,780/year updating paper drawings. - We will assume errors (as no one is prone to them completely) and the confusion due to outdated drawings will make you lose an average of 4 hrs per project. - That is 4 hrs/project x 10 projects/year x $63/hr = $2,520/year on time wasted because of the confusion. - We will disregard the cost of rework due to outdated drawings, as it may not directly apply to architects, however, this is statistically 0.42% of the construction budget. - Total cost of paper drawings for one professional is $12,300/year… It becomes pretty much clear that we need to get away from using paper drawings and move into digital. But the trick is that those digital solutions don’t always suit us well… Tablets address the usage case of walking the construction site and quickly referencing parts of the drawings, but they are just too small, as are desktop displays. Especially for those who employ use cases such as quantity takeoffs, project review sessions, or just learning the project. Those big touch screen LCD panels are awesome at addressing the usage issues, but they are too large, sit on a rolling cart, are not very portable, and they take up a lot of room. Many industry pros simply cannot use them for routine daily tasks because they can’t fit them into their office or cubicle. So there seems to be a gap in the technology for the everyday personal workspace usage. If compared that way, conventional drawing win the upper hand… One method to fill in that gap is by using a new mix of today’s technologies, bundled into a product called PaperLight, a projected interactive display. That device is portable, lightweight, and lays flat on your existing desk or plan table without an office renovation. It’s basically a pico projector mounted on a stand that projects onto an interactive whiteboard surface, giving you an iPad-like experience, flat on your desk or plan table. How much money can you save by going full digital with a large display? - Keep in mind, that $12,300 cost of paper per year is crucial in such calculations. - Assume a 5-year useful life of PaperLight, and a cost of $5,000 per unit. - Also let’s assume straight line depreciation of $1,000 / year for PaperLight. - Assume a cost of $20/month for a drawing management apps = $240 / year for the apps. - Using digital drawings viewed on a large display rather than paper will cost $11,060 LESS per year. - That is a whopping 90% rate of annual savings! And the sweetest thing is that construction professionals like me aren’t the only ones to win by embracing this technology. Architects are stating usage cases involving the combination of PaperLight with their trusty old tracing paper, as well as for viewing and working with 3D BIM models, schedules, and anything else they or their clients would like to do on a large interactive screen. To us at Builderry, the decision seems obvious!

2010 was a tremendous year of growth for the Regional Network. Across the world, Regional leaders are engaging with local populations through a broad range of civic, social, and artistic projects, continually increasing Burning Man’s profile as a year-round cultural community. Through individual efforts and collaboration with other Burner communities, civic arts councils, and cultural outreach groups like Burners Without Borders, Black Rock Solar, and the Black Rock Arts Foundation, Burners are having a positive impact all over the world, continually illustrating that Burning Man is so much more than just a week in the Nevada desert. NETWORK GROWTH IN 2010 This year, the worldwide network of Regional Contacts expanded to welcome 27 new representatives – accommodating not only turnover in existing regions, but adding new locations around the world, including the Philippines; Perth, Sydney and Melbourne Australia; and new domestic outposts in Bellingham, Washington and Nebraska. Interest in the Regional Contact role is consistently high, and we’ve heard from Burners in places like Bahrain, Israel, Denmark and Singapore who are already organizing meet-and-greets, newbie orientations, and other participatory events in pursuit of nurturing local Burning Man community. Because of the importance of these local leadership roles and the complexity of the network overall, we are purposefully deliberate about the process of installing and supporting brand-new regions; still, it’s important that the wait time for the protracted vetting and interview process does not stall the momentum of nascent communities, so the Burning Man Regionals Committee has encouraged mentorship through the pairing of these emerging community leaders with seasoned Regional Contacts and Regional Contact alumni. META REGIONAL COMMITTEE At the 2010 Regional Network Celebration on playa, the Burning Man Project announced it had invited 12 regional leaders, representing various geographic areas and ranges of expertise, to form a new committee supporting the leadership and governance of Burning Man’s worldwide regional network. Comprised of top-notch, experienced Regional leaders from across the world, the Meta-Regional Committee will serve as a source of support and development for the entire Regional Network. The first committee meeting took place in November, 2010 and the members are working to craft a mission and vision statement that will shape the future of this leadership body and how it will work with the Burning Man Project to nurture and enhance our community’s cultural presence around the world. ANNUAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT In March 2010, we welcomed over 100 Regional Contacts and invited Burning Man community leaders to San Francisco for the 4th Annual Regional Network Leadership Summit. The official schedule included workshops on art grants programs, volunteer management, meeting facilitation, succession planning, intellectual property, technology, participatory culture, and more – and, in keeping with the trend at any good conference, participants conducted intense informal networking in the halls between sessions. On Friday of the Summit, we invited 46 different cultural collaborators — from Bay Area non-profit groups, arts collectives as well as several Burning Man departments and offshoot organizations — to participate in the first ever “Conventional Caucus,” a tradeshow-style event where groups could set up tables and interact with conference attendees. Designed to provide a forum for groups, staff, and Regional leaders to exchange ideas and expertise, the Friday Caucus more than succeeded as a platform for new collaborations. The intensely energetic afternoon was capped off by an inspiring evening address by Burning Man’s Director, Larry Harvey. Summit attendees returned home armed with tools and information to support them in their leadership roles as well as new relationships and opportunities for future collaboration. CULTURAL OUTREACH AND OTHER EVENTS 2010 saw an increase in collaboration between Burning Man regional communities and Burners Without Borders, Black Rock Solar, and the Black Rock Arts Foundation. Burners from Vancouver to New England participated in the 4th Annual BWB Cinco de Playa Beach Cleanup; BWB Detroit created hundreds of care packages and distributed them to the homeless. Burners in Reno, NV rallied around the Black Rock Arts Foundation’s installation of Kate Raudenbush’s Duel Nature on the waterfront of the Truckee River. Black Rock Solar partnered with the Sunpower Foundation and Poetic Kinetics Inc. to create two solar powered, kinetic sunflowers, which will exhibit for the purpose of educating the public about renewable energy. Regional groups across the U.S. will be partnering with Black Rock Solar to bring the sunflowers to their communities. On playa, the Regional Network joined forces with these outreach groups to create “District Everywhere,” a place where Burning Man participants could learn more about the missions of these partner organizations and learn more about how to get involved. And, of course Burners never run out of reasons to celebrate in style. 2010 saw hundreds of Burning Man-related or inspired events all around the network, from official weekend campouts to informal gatherings, volunteer/civic projects to “prepare for the playa” workshops. New in 2010 was the first ever Italian Burning Weekend in Alviano, Italy and the OzBurn Seed Gathering in Bellingen, New South Wales in Australia, and as always, there were dozens of official Decompression events and Precompression parties. Embodying the 10 Principles of Burning Man, these are Leave No Trace events and are designed to involve and benefit the entire community. FILM FEST IN A BOX The Film Fest in a Box (FFIAB) program is a plug-and-play film fest for Regional Contacts to bring local Burners together and share the experience of Burning Man on the big screen. The program saw new enhancements in 2010 with the creation of a FFIAB website for digital film downloads (eliminating the need to mail DVD packages to exhibiting regional organizers), and other enhanced support. Regional groups from San Diego to Paris held these Burning Man Film Festivals as part of the FFIAB program. Many groups have chosen to combine the film festival with other activities such as fire spinning, clothing drives, art shows, workshops, or clothing swaps. We are inspired to see Regional groups utilizing the FFIAB as a way to fundraise for their local community, to gather people together, and to showcase the work of Burning Man filmmakers that might otherwise never be seen in the theater. There are now more than 200 Regional Contacts in the Burning Man Regional Network, serving communities that span 17 countries and five continents. We look forward to seeing the Regional Network continue to flourish and evolve in 2011. Meghan Rutigliano and Andie Grace

Drew O’neil discusses fixed income market conditions and offers insight for bond investors. Sometimes we get so caught up in thinking about where we came from and where we are going, we forget to consider where we are right now. We can learn a lot from analyzing where the market was last month, last year, or 10 years ago. We can do our best to try and forecast where we think the market is going. While these exercises definitely have their merits, sometimes we get too caught up in thinking about the past and the future that we forget about the most important timeframe: the present. The present is where we are currently investing, it is the current market that we have to deal with. We can daydream about the good ole days when Treasuries were yielding 10% and wish that maybe these yield levels will return in the future, but unfortunately, we cannot go back in time and invest in the past and there is no guarantee for what things will look like in the future. With this in mind, today’s commentary is mostly visual, and meant to provide a few snapshots of the market that exists today which will hopefully provide some insight and motivation on where to invest. Treasury yields receive most of the attention by the media, as it is the benchmark market for most of the financial world. As the graph shows, the Treasury curve is very flat and relatively low yielding. Many portfolios do not hold Treasuries; therefore, the corporate curves are likely more relevant to the average investor. The corporate market offers investors a decent slope in the intermediate part of the curve while providing significant yield pick-up to Treasuries. The municipal market is a very high-quality market and solicits high demand in times of economic uncertainty. This graph shows municipal yield curves for the different ratings categories. As would be expected, as ratings decrease, yields increase. This graph shows nominal yields of municipal bonds, but keep in mind the tax benefits that they can provide when considering yield levels. This graph compares corporate yield curves with taxable-equivalent municipal bond yield curves (assuming the highest federal tax bracket of 40.8%). Comparing taxable equivalent yields on municipals to yields in the taxable bond market makes a fairer apples-to-apples comparison, as the tax benefits provided to higher tax bracket investors can be substantial. This graph reminds us that not all corporate bonds are created equal. When looking at A-rated corporates, for example, there is a wide range of sectors and companies within each sector to consider, each providing various levels of risk and reward.

Nearly 30 years of milestones in the lives of two pals who meet in middle school are centerstage in Jeffrey Lo’s heartfelt, charming comedy-drama Waiting for Next, finally getting its world premiere production by California’s City Lights Theatre Company this spring after a year’s delay due to the COVID shutdown. It’s been a long wait for Lo, director Leslie Martinson, and actors Wes Gabrillo and Max Tachis but that’s appropriate — the play is all about waiting, the playwright told me. One of the impulses to write the two-character Waiting for Next, Lo said, “was me trying to wrestle with my seemingly never-ending feeling that I was ‘waiting for my life to begin.’ So the idea came about to write a coming of age story about two men where we would find them in various points in their lives waiting for something — the initial major theme being that as we are all waiting for our lives to begin, our life is, in fact, already happening.” Here’s how City Lights Theatre Company in San Jose characterizes the play: “Frank is in a school parking lot waiting for his parents (like he always is) when he meets Marcus, who is also waiting (like he always is). What comes next is a friendship that defines both of their lives. This world premiere play follows the boys from ages 12 to 40 as they grow up and apart and together again, supporting each other through school, relationships, and some of the darkest and brightest places life can take us.” Jeffrey Lo, a Bay Area native who directs and writes plays, fielded a bunch of my questions about Waiting for Next, his process, his background and his commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion in the theater. (You can find some of his plays on NewPlayExchange.org.) I was intrigued by the simplicity, the economy and the seeming randomness of the exchanges between Frank and Marcus as they aged between age 12 and 40. And as I got to know them, I cared for them as they stumbled, faced adversity and moved forward. How did the play come about? What was the seed of the idea for it? Jeffrey Lo: The play started from a few starting points that then evolved into others as we discovered what this play was truly about. The first starting point was the actors. Wes Gabrillo and Max Tachis are two actors who I have loved working with over the years and I decided I wanted to set out to write a two-person play for these two close friends of mine because I knew the journey was going to be one we would all cherish. The second starting point was my desire to write a coming-of-age story. What wasn’t intentional but was quite beautiful was that as the three of us worked on this play together over six years — we would find ourselves meeting the different moments that Frank and Marcus find themselves in the play. So, I definitely pulled from some of my friendships — one in particular with my childhood best friend Skyler Garcia, and many others. Stories, relationships and experiences that Max and Wes had in their lives would also find themselves in pieces and parts of the play. An epigraph at the top of the script suggests that “waiting” is a theme of the play. You quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: “How much of human life is lost in waiting!” How did that idea for waiting being an organizing idea come about? Jeffrey Lo: I started writing to the theme of waiting, as it was thematic itch I was trying to scratch personally. In the first scene, these friends meet waiting for their parents to pick them up from school. As time goes on, “waiting” evolves — it goes from waiting for your college roommate to finish having sex in your dorm, to waiting to hold your child for the first time. The play is filled with milestone events — graduation, first love, sex, marriage, personal failings, fatherhood, death. In a 30-year relationship between two straight guys from two different backgrounds, there would seem to be thousands of experiences that you might have dramatized. Are there events that ended up on the cutting room floor? Jeffrey Lo: Oh yeah, a lot ended up on the cutting room floor. We have a handful of scenes that were in different readings and workshops that didn’t make it into the play. We also laugh because perhaps the funniest joke I’ve ever written ended up cut from the play. I’m determined to find another home for the bit. I wrote the first two scenes of the play rather quickly and then after that I went on and listed different options for ages and things you might be waiting for — waiting for school lunch to start and waiting to open Christmas gifts. Other options didn’t get totally cut but evolved. The original wedding scene had Frank waiting for his father to show up. The original prison scene was Frank waiting to pick up Marcus after a DUI. These all shifted and became deeper as we revised. I was more and more tense as I fell in love with these guys because I was wondering if mortality might darken their world by the end of the play. When you write, do you generally know your destination and where the characters will end up, or do you let them take you unexpected places? Jeffrey Lo: Many times when I write, I have an idea of how a play of mine wants to begin and how it wants to end — and my work is to discover how we get there. With this play, I started with just writing a collection of scenes and then discovered the relationship these two had and what was important to them. In the first drafts, actually, we didn’t go quite so chronological. We used to jump forward and backward with each scene. That no longer felt useful as I learned more about the play. I eventually discovered that even more so than “waiting” and “coming-of-age” — this play was about the human capacity to lift up the ones we love in times of need, it was about redemption and it was about fatherhood. Once we discovered these things, the direction and framing of the play became much more clear. How is Waiting for Next different from your other plays, in form or tone or size? Jeffrey Lo: I like to think that all of my plays have a similar heart and soul as Waiting For Next. But the episodic nature of the play is quite different. This is my first play that spans such a large amount of time — 28 years. What did Leslie Martinson, your director for the City Lights production, bring to the table? When you are working on a new play, how much do you rely on a director to be a dramaturg/editor/ally? Jeffrey Lo: Leslie Martinson is actually my mentor. I was her assistant director for forever and it’s been such a thrill to have her in the director’s chair for this show. She has such a smart approach to storytelling and clarity and for a show where the actors and I have been so in the thick of the story for so many years — it was good to have her come in to bring us another perspective. Also, although the play is about two men, I personally really valued having a female voice to add to the mix and add another valuable perspective. Waiting for Next was to be presented by City Lights in 2020-21 and was sidelined by the pandemic. Did that down time become somehow useful to the play? That is, did you come back to it using a more objective lens? Were there recent rewrites? Jeffrey Lo: There were some recent rewrites that came about just before the [rehearsal] process and a pretty surprising major addition the script that came right before tech. One thing that I’ll say is maybe the biggest shift for the play during the time off is that both of our actors became fathers in that time. I think that added another level of depth that was invaluable to the story we were trying to tell. Frank is Filipino-American, which is also your lived experience. In the American theatre world of predominantly white producing institutions, it’s refreshing to see a specific identity and heritage on stage. Did you know when you started writing that your two friends would have different cultural backgrounds — Filipino and white? Jeffrey Lo: When I started writing the play, I knew I was writing for Wes and Max. In the first week of writing, I wasn’t specifically making Frank Filipino but then there was a moment where I decided I needed to ask myself that question. Wes is Filipino. Should Frank be Filipino? I very quickly realized that the only reason I wouldn’t purposefully make him Filipino was to make the play supposedly more “producible” to theaters. I quickly hated that thought and decided Frank was Filipino. And, of course, it prompts that age-old question: How much of Frank is you? Jeffrey Lo: Haha. Here and there but by no means entirely. People outside the dominant culture have not traditionally seen themselves on stage in American theaters. How much of your mission as a playwright is to turn the lights up on a Filipino-American experience? Not to suggest that there is one monolithic Filipino-American experience. Jeffrey Lo: It is a huge part of my mission as an artist. Both directing and writing — I want to create and uplift more Asian American and Filipino American stories. Growing up, I didn’t see many stories that I identified with and it made it very easy for me to feel like an outsider in America. My hope is that my work can do a small part in making my experience growing up a less common one. You work as an educator and advocate for issues of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Is progress being made in American theater with regard to opportunity for AAPI theater makers? Are there specific obstacles or micro aggressions you’ve faced as you put your work out there? Jeffrey Lo: I think there is definitely some progress being made and there is definitely a lot of work to be done. I’ve certainly faced micro and macro aggressions throughout my life and throughout my theater career. It would take a few essays for me to fully answer this question but I think that the biggest shift we need to make is moving away from being content with being “diversity-friendly” and [asking] “how can we actively fight racism…?” Those are two different things. Being diversity-friendly can be a passive thing. Fighting for equity and inclusion requires all of us to consider what are the systemic barriers that have been put in front of us that exclude communities — intentionally or not — and how can we create new systems that include everyone? I once asked a theater company to seek non-white actors in an ensemble play of mine, and the theater said, “We don’t have any non-white actors in our pool.” I said, “Please look harder” — and they did. And the production ended up not being all-white. Is there a strategy you can share with writers to overcome obstacles when we look at equity, diversity and inclusion? Jeffrey Lo: [A story] like yours is certainly a strategy to overcome it. If we allow ourselves as a theater community to say it is too hard to find performers that are not from under-represented communities of any kind, then how will these performers ever gain the opportunities to grow as artists? Artists don’t just start out brilliant. Acting, like each and every role in creating theater, is a craft that is mastered through work. We need to create the work and give artists the time to blossom. There are a lot of angles you can approach this from but the big thing for writers is to keep writing their beautifully specific and diverse stories. Keep putting them out in the world. The more good stories and good scripts that are out there, the more opportunities will be out there for actors of all identities, and the deeper and more diverse our acting pool will be. You say in script notes that the casting of a Filipino-American/Pilipino heritage actor “would be preferred.” I expect the play will have a nice life regionally and in colleges. Is there room for you to collaborate with an organization to change the background of Frank to fit a casting pool? I’m not talking “cast a white dude” here, I mean if a college program has South Asian actors but not Filipino actors, is this an opportunity for expanded inclusion? Jeffrey Lo: I’m always open to the conversation. I think that with casting we have a radius around the specifics of what a role has and we want to look at how wide we want that radius to go before we no longer feel comfortable with what we are presenting. But with a play like this and a role like Frank’s, I think if a group reached out to me, we could find ways to adapt the script in ways that could make something work. I try not to be all-or-nothing about how I view it. I think I would take it on a case by case basis to look at what we are trying to present. I also think that as time goes on and if we, hopefully, live in a world where we have achieved more equality in opportunities than we do now… my thoughts may change on how I view it. You’re a Bay Area native? Where did you grow up, where did you go to high school and what sort of exposure to the theater did you have when you were a kid? Any formative theatergoing or practice you can share? Jeffrey Lo: I grew up in San Jose and went to Evergreen Valley High School. I did not have a ton of theater exposure until my junior year of high school where I found myself fully immersed in the theater world, sort of suddenly. I acted in a play once in high school but it wasn’t until I wrote and directed a one-act play in my senior year that my eyes were opened to the power and importance of theater and storytelling. That really set me on that path. You have a B.A. in drama from UC Irvine and a B.A. in literary journalism. How do your degrees specifically inform the work you do today? Is “literary journalism” like long-form Truman Capote-style writing? Jeffrey Lo: Literary journalism is indeed long-form Truman Capote-style writing! I think the journalism writing supported my writing in general and my drama degree gave me a wider toolbox to create theater. I think that there’s something to be learned from everyday life and applied [to] theatre. For example, I was a community programmer for freshman housing when I was at UC Irvine for a number of years (working with Resident Advisors to foster good experiences for freshman) — I think that I use just as many skills I gained from this work in my theater practice as I the skills I gained from my drama degree. Speaking of “waiting for next” — what’s coming up for you as a director or writer? Jeffrey Lo: I was really fortunate that the month of May ended up being a huge month for me. While Waiting for Next is running at City Lights, another play of mine Balikbayan Box is currently having a workshop production at Theatre First in Berkeley and also I directed a production of Jessica Huang’s The Paper Dreams of Harry Chin at San Francisco Playhouse. They are running until the middle of June. This big month ended up with a bunch of publicity for it all in the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News and other Bay Area news outlets. Everyone has been very kind. Jeffrey Lo is a Filipino-American playwright and director based in the Bay Area.

An innovative design, Swimerz ‘VTail’ soft plastic lures are also known as a flutter tail or ribbon tail type lure. This extended curly tail can be more effective than traditional shapes as it provides an improved level of cavitation in the water, resulting in an action similar to that of an escaping and injured bait fish, prompting the target species into a reaction. They can be rigged on standard and weedless jig heads, as weedless rigs using bullet sinkers, or on dropper rigs, for example. Swimerz VTail also comes with a shallow split belly to enable better hook placement in the lure or to hold scents. Depending on water colour, target species and fisher preferences for lure colour, these lures are awesome for fresh water species like Trout, Silver and Golden Perch, and Murray Cod. In the salt, these have proven to be effective against a broad range of species like Flathead, Jew and Snapper, pelagics and reefies; any species that readily take plastics – And some that don’t!

A day after Arvind Kejriwal was sent to judicial custody in the excise policy case, Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and councillors on Tuesday met his wife Sunita Kejriwal and asserted that the Delhi chief minister should run his government from jail and not resign. Kejriwal is in judicial custody till April 15 after his arrest last month by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money-laundering case linked to his government's now-scrapped excise policy. He is lodged in Tihar jail. The AAP MLAs and Municipal Corporation of Delhi councillors told Sunita Kejriwal that two crore people of the national capital stand with the chief minister and he should not resign at any cost, party leaders said. Of the AAP's 62 MLAs in Delhi, 55 including all the ministers were present during the meeting. Four MLAs are out of station while three -- Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain -- are in jail, the AAP leaders said. The BJP has demanded that Kejriwal should resign as chief minister following his arrest in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam. Senior leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said the elected representatives wanted to meet Sunita Kejriwal after Kejriwal's arrest. However, the meeting was delayed due to the party's protests against the arrest and the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance's (INDIA) rally at Ramlila Maidan. The AAP MLAs met Sunita Kejriwal and nearly two dozen of them expressed their views, the Delhi Minister said in a press conference. Since Kejriwal can interact with her through videoconferencing from Tihar jail, the MLAs and councillor urged Sunita Kejriwal to communicate to him their message that he should keep running the government from behind bars without tendering his resignation, Bharadwaj added. They told Sunita Kejriwal that the BJP will exert "immense" pressure on the Delhi chief minister to resign. If he steps down, they will say that he abandoned his responsibilities, Bharadwaj said. "It is the policy of the BJP to set a trap and force the chief minister to resign," he said. Kejriwal has communicated to party leaders and volunteers through his wife that he is fine, strong and more resolute than before, and asked them not worry about him, the Delhi minister said. Sunita Kejriwal also communicated the chief minister's message that he was extremely proud that the AAP MLAs, councillors and the entire INDIA bloc successfully organised Sunday's massive rally at Ramlila Maidan even though he was not with them. "The chief minister has said that the rally gave a clear message that as long as he is in the jail, the problems for the BJP will keep increasing," Bharadwaj said. He also rubbished speculation that the Delhi chief minister will be changed, calling it a 'rumour' spread by the Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP has been trying to come to power in Delhi for 25 years but it is still as far away as it was 25 years ago, Bharadwaj said and added that Kejriwal will continue to hold the post of chief minister. He also hit out at the BJP, saying it wants the AAP to give up power in Delhi to the saffron party. They are having 'stomach pain' because the AAP is not relenting and so they are spreading 'rumours'.

Of course, sometimes, life mistakenly smiles at one. In the form of a woman : Elisabeth Kirilovna, for three weeks only. But there is also one tragedy of life : a human is not conscious of his own life as he lives it, he is not conscious of his time in an abandoned and dark room where someone brought a candleThe diary of a superfluous man, Tourgueniev

At this point, if you want, our spa awaits you for a whirlpool, a nice bath, a sauna and a Turkish bath. A relaxing afternoon until aperitif time during which you can try our wines, waiting for the dinner made of like traditional dishes.

Bestway and Deliveroo have formed a new partnership to offer restaurants access to cheaper everyday products and a cashback deal. The agreement will help restaurants to cut costs – on average an independent restaurant could save £5,000. The savings are available on restaurant essentials, including soft drinks, flour, rice, sugar and dairy products. Restaurant partners are also eligible for a discount scheme through a quarterly paid cashback deal based on spend and special pricing tiers. Restaurants who spend more than £13,000 a quarter are eligible for up to 8% cash back – a rebate of more than £1,000 to spend as they wish. The offer will be available to 1,700 partner sites in Scotland from Bestway’s Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee depots, as well as 6,800 partner sites in Central London – both with a delivery service option. Deliveroo restaurant partners have already signed up in London, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh, with the remainder of the partnership expected to be rolled out across the UK from 2024. Dawood Pervez, managing director of Bestway Wholesale, said: “As we enter our new fiscal year, we have ambitious targets to grow our partnership and our market share with Deliveroo customers. Our collaboration is based on synergistic values – we want to help our customers grow and make more profit. That way, we all benefit and grow together. “For Deliveroo customers who are not already buying at Bestway, it couldn’t be easier to register through a few simple steps, enabling them to be able to enjoy superb savings and the best deals in the market. This is a further example of how, here at Bestway, we are investing in our customers and driving the best value and opportunity into their businesses.” Carlo Mocci, chief business officer UK&I at Deliveroo, said: “We’re seeing more restaurants than ever before operate on delivery platforms and, in such a competitive environment, the restaurants that are seeing the greatest successes are those that offer a quality experience and great value for money. This new partnership with Bestway will provide our restaurant partners with access to great savings on their everyday essentials, helping them offer great value for money to their customers.” Published Date: July 26, 2023

This time last week, my husband and I were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary by taking a whole day off and doing absolutely nothing. It was fantastic. Hubby got me this lovely bouquet of roses and I got him a blender! We celebrate quietly between the two of us, as no-one in our family has really ever taken much notice of wedding anniversaries and we’ve been quite happy to just have a day together. But this year our brother and his girlfriend surprised us with a card and these lovely home-made Viennese fingers and massive Pavlova – what a treat! And everyone should be warned that we are now only 51 weeks away from our 10th wedding anniversary and we will be expecting to celebrate it in style! And I’ll be documenting it on my blog (yes, this is going to be like a second wedding!).

All women in Catalonia can now go to the nearest pharmacy to request menstrual panties, a cup or two cloth pads and receive specialised advice. The Ministry of Equality and Feminisms and the Council of Pharmaceutical Colleges of Catalonia (CCFC) today started the free and universal distribution of reusable menstrual products. This action is included in the Comprehensive Menstrual and Climacteric Equity Plan 2023-2025. "Today, Catalonia becomes the first country in the world to distribute, universally and free of charge, reusable menstrual products accompanied by quality information and advice from pharmacies", the Minister of Equality and Feminisms, Tània Verge Mestre, highlighted at the beginning of her speech. This is an unprecedented measure in the world that guarantees the right to menstrual equity. In other words, ensuring access to reusable menstrual products for all women in Catalonia, as well as receiving quality information and support. "The fact that this initiative comes into operation in the week of 8 March is no coincidence. For many decades, sexual and reproductive rights have been at the centre of the feminist struggle on a global scale. The right to one's own body is the most essential right of all" said Verge, who also highlighted the historical importance of this right, "precisely, because the right to one's body is as personal as it is political, it must be at the centre of the political agenda. And because we cannot forget that sexual and reproductive rights are human rights, as the international community already recognized in the nineties". My period, my rules will also break the myths and taboos about menstruation that affect women's well-being and health, end menstrual poverty, generate savings for women and families and take care of the planet with sustainable and reusable products. "I want to emphasise that it is a universal measure because it addresses a right that all women have: the right to menstrual equity. A right that can already be exercised in Catalonia and makes us a fairer country" added the minister. The Minister of Equality and Feminisms visited a pharmacy today to see first-hand how the first distribution day was going, and she did so accompanied by the president of the Council of Pharmaceutical Colleges of Catalonia (CCFC) and the College of Pharmacists of Barcelona (COFB), Jordi Casas Sánchez. "It is guaranteed that all women and menstruating people in Catalonia will have access to their reusable menstrual product through the more than 3,280 Catalan pharmacies. Therefore, we convey to the population a message of peace of mind, and we urge them to come and order the products stepwise. Once users place the order, if the product is not available, within a maximum period of 48 hours they can pick it up at the same pharmacy", explained the president of the CCFC and the COFB. Access to products through pharmacies Pharmacies are the space where reusable menstrual products are distributed free of charge: a menstrual cup, menstrual panties or a pack of two cloth pads to all those girls, women and menstruating people who request it. The action, like all of the Comprehensive Menstrual and Climacteric Equity Plan within which it is framed, has a trans-inclusive approach and therefore also addresses menstruating trans* men and non-binary people. The nearly 3,300 pharmacies in Catalonia have joined the action and will be easily identifiable thanks to a badge. Simultaneous distribution throughout the territory guarantees that all women in Catalonia, wherever they live, are guaranteed such a key fundamental right as being able to decide about their own body, as well as having menstrual education and information throughout the life cycle, which is essential to be able to make free and informed decisions. To obtain the product of their preference, the interested party only has to present the individual and non-transferable QR code, which they will obtain through the section Novetats: La meva regla, les meves regles (New developments: My period, my rules) of the digital health space La Meva Salut (My Health) (both via the website and via a mobile application). It is important to bear in mind that, if using the mobile phone application, it must be updated. In the event that, despite this, the QR code does not appear, a form has been provided in the same application to request it. When they dispense the product, pharmaceutical professionals will explain which menstrual products are distributed and will assist the customer in choosing the product that best suits each person's needs, generating a space of trust where they can express themselves and share queries and concerns. This is why it is recommended to go to the pharmacy in advance, in order to choose the product after receiving all the information and specialized advice. The dispensing of the product will be immediate, provided that the pharmacy has units of the chosen product available. If this is not the case, it can be ordered, as is usually done with other products and medicines, and will be available no later than 48 hours. However, it is important to bear in mind that if a person has already reserved a product at the pharmacy, their QR code will be temporarily blocked until they go to pick it up at the same pharmacy where they ordered it. The QR code will be active in the La Meva Salut space until the product has been ordered from the pharmacy, and once the product has been dispensed it will be deactivated. Specialised information and advice Pharmacies are responsible for distributing the products and for offering personalised advice and quality information at the time of collection. To do this, more than 11,600 pharmacists from all over Catalonia have received training in recent months on sexual and reproductive rights and, more specifically, on menstrual equity and the use of reusable menstrual products, organised by the Ministry of Equality and Feminisms with the Council of Pharmaceutical Colleges of Catalonia (CCFC). Reinforcing the skills of pharmaceutical staff when offering information on the menstrual cycle, and supporting them in the choice of products, are crucial to promote public knowledge about one’s own body and menstrual cycle, as well as helping to eradicate the stigma associated with menstruating and the myths and taboos that can have serious consequences on women's health. In addition, personalised information and advice from pharmacies is essential to promote the use of these products and ensure they are used correctly, especially for people who use them for the first time. However, in order to be able to respond to the queries that general public may have regarding the distribution of reusable menstrual products, two specific lines of communication have been set up: the 061 Salut Respond telephone line, and the sub-topic 'Menstrual equity' of the Gestor de consultes, queixes i suggeriments (Portal of queries, complaints and suggestions) of the Government of Catalonia. Right to menstrual equity: Social, climacteric and gender justice According to the survey by the Omnibus Opinion Studies Centre of the Government of Catalonia (2023), the majority of people who have participated believe that there is not enough discussion about menstruation, whether in public spaces, schools, health centres or in the media. In the case of climacteric syndrome, this invisibility is even more pronounced according to the opinion of 71% of the women surveyed. In fact, there is still a lot of ignorance about menstruation: 42% of men and 38% of women do not know how to answer the question correctly: "Do you know what the menstrual cycle is?" and only 47% of women and 23% of men think they know enough about it. These percentages are even higher when we talk about climacteric issues and menopause, since socially, menstruation and menopause have been treated with silence and shame. This situation prevents us from understanding our body and attending to its needs. In Catalonia, the difficulty of accessing menstrual products for financial reasons is a reality: 44% of women who have responded to the survey and have menstruation have used products that were not their first choice because they were too expensive, and 23% of women have had to reuse single-use products for financial reasons. Throughout one's life, a person who uses non-reusable pads and tampons spends €2,500, and if, for example, they choose to use the cup, the cost throughout their fertile life is reduced to approximately €145. Reusable menstrual products also contribute to climate justice, preventing the production of waste and helping to prevent climate change. In Catalonia, around 9,000 tons of non-reusable menstrual products are produced each year, in other words, 750 million tampons and single-use pads become waste that is not recyclable. In addition, producing them causes severe environmental impacts such as a large expenditure of water and energy and the use of large volumes of cellulose, cotton or viscous rayon. In short, the lack of truthful information about what menstruation or menopause is, discrimination and prejudice surrounding these processes, and the difficulty of accessing menstrual products suitable for each person are violations of sexual and reproductive rights. The action “My period, my rules” is therefore crucial; it seeks to bring reusable menstrual products and quality information to every household in Catalonia. The free distribution of reusable menstrual products is part of the Comprehensive Menstrual and Climacteric Equity Plan 2023-2025, promoted by the Ministry of Equality and Feminisms with the participation of all departments and ministries of the Government of Catalonia. The plan contains sixty measures and proposes actions in seven areas of work: menstrual education in childhood, adolescence and youth; menstrual education in the field of socio-community intervention; accessibility to suitable products and spaces such as the universal distribution of reusable products and the installation of organic menstrual product dispensers in public facilities and services; measures in the workplace; the training of professionals; the promotion of research and knowledge, and dissemination and awareness-raising. It is an action plan that is part of the implementation of the National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Rights, which goes further in terms recognised rights and introduces new ones, such as the right to menstrual equity.

Prior to this, he had professional experience as an attachment-based play therapist and parent coach for birth/first parents seeking reunification, and foster-to-adoptive parents in an agency that specialized in working with children with co-occurring mental health and learning challenges.

This work has already been recognized by the Rudd Adoption Research Program at UMass-Amherst, and he will be sharing these intimate stories of men’s perspectives of adoption in various ways soon.

The Swamp in the middle of your story. The beginning of your book is exciting. You’re meeting new people, new relationships form. Stuff is happening! As you get past the beginning, all the people who are going to populate your book, with a few minor exceptions have been introduced. You know who likes who and who is hoping to do the bunny hop with who. It’s like October in High School, routine. If you are drawing a graph of excitement in your novel it starts out high. If it doesn’t you need consider how you are going to draw your reader in. But, as the thrill of introductions wanes you go downhill to the lowest point of your novel. This is the swamp. This is where everything looks the same, there is no clear path and the bugs are eating you alive. You don’t want to stay in the swamp, but to get to the mountain on the other side ,which is the joy of completing your story and making sure that everyone gets what they deserve, you have to cross the swamp. There are no short cuts. The problem is that the swamp is a dangerous place. If you aren’t careful that tuft of grass you are standing on will disappear and dump you into the murk. Some of that beautiful green turf is a lie and cheat, you will fall through and vanish. There are creatures here that eat novels whole. Writer’s block watches you from stagnant water waiting for you to show weakness. Unnecessary characters sit like vultures in the tree ready to enter your story and weigh down your plot. Real life buzzes around your head whispering that you’ve failed, again, and why don’t you get a real job. Will-o-the-wisps try to entice you away from your plot line. For all the danger, there is treasure to be found in the swamp. Scattered islands of golden apples. Here is where the relationships that you created are tested and reforged. Strange beings give odd advice. Your characters learn to discern what they are about. What they are really about. This is where their false hopes and perceptions are stripped from them. This is the abode of that oddest of creatures – the talking donkey. The talking donkey is the thing that comes from out of the bounds of the story and changes everything. It may be a car accident that forces someone to face their mortality. It may be an infestation of rats that eats everything a character owns so they realize that they valued none of it. It might be a midnight conversation with a stranger in a cemetery. The point is that it changes things. This above all is what makes the character different when they climb out of the swamp. Every story has to have its swamp, its low point. It isn’t fun to be a writer in the swamp. It is messy, frustrating, and saps your energy, but this is where you can shine as a writer. Paying attention to what you do in the swamp will make your conclusion that much brighter. It takes discipline and courage. Sometimes you’ll get lost and have to retrace your steps. Sometimes the swamp dumps you onto a foreign shore and you have to decide whether to stay there or go back. The longer your work, the more important the swamp is, and the more likely you will encounter it more than once. False peaks abound, but eventually you will prevail and the final mountain will rise out of the mists. It is then, scratching your bites and scraping of the mud from your feet, that you will make the exhilarating climb to the end.

Walking my son to his bus stop today, we passed a used condom and a blood-stained tampon. The condom’s been there for at least a week. I keep wondering when my son will comment on it. The tampon is more recent. Or at least new since my last bus stop sojourn before I took ill. I had to take out the trash today. Plus, I’m normally the one who accompanies my son to his stop in the mornings. Though I’m still feeling lousy, I did it anyway. Planned on going back to bed after the bus came. But I couldn’t sleep. Instead, I thought about a condom and tampon thrown by the side of the road. I’ve got to believe that the kind of person who throws a used condom or tampon out of a speeding car onto the side of a rural road is the kind of person who probably never thinks about his or her standing before God. This is not a reflective person, not the kind who goes on a spiritual quest or asks of the family, “What do y’all think about life after death?” Pondering this more deeply, I believe the kind of person who throws a used condom or tampon out of a speeding car onto the side of a rural road may be the fastest growing segment of the American population. The state of that person’s spiritual life very much mirrors what he or she tossed out the window: filthy. This is the kind of person who’s got an appointment at the Great White Throne of judgment and the outcome won’t be pretty. I don’t know how we reach that person. And that troubles me. Most of us spend time with people who at least give some attention to what really matters in life. The people we tend to fraternize with will at least be willing to listen to us put in a word or two about spiritual things. But the kind of person I believe is becoming a majority in this country is completely and utterly seared. Spiritual? Who cares. And they stay seared in their spirits and souls for a very, very long time. I seem to be encountering more and more people who fit that description. I wouldn’t call them anti-spiritual. They’re more aspiritual. There’s absolutely not one genuine thread of spiritual awareness in their lives and no reason to cultivate any, as they see it. When you look at the world’s cultures, every society has had a religious longing, wrongly placed though it may be. And nearly every one of those cultures has placed that longing on something outside themselves. But I take a look at the kind of person who tosses a used condom or tampon out a car window and I see nothing going on in that regard. Zero. It’s one thing to not know the way to God; it’s quite another to have no desire to know. By all surveys, the Church in this country is failing miserably at making disciples. Most church growth figures have come at the expense of other churches—megachurch consumes mom and pop church in a slow Darwinian dance of survival-of-the-fittest. And even as the megachurches continue to grow, the total losses mount up as fewer and fewer of the general population attend church at all. How does this generation of believers reach a generation that is not just spiritually empty, but seems to lack any apparatus for receiving the spiritual at all? It’s not a matter of filling an empty cup; it’s working to ensure that the cup itself even exists. I don’t know how to meet that problem. Perhaps it’s too late to meet. We may indeed be seeing the final generation, a generation so spiritually cauterized as to have no desire for transcendence beyond scoring the latest XBox game. A generation of used condoms and dirty tampons.

Chainsaws go on sale at various times throughout the year. The best deals can be found in fall, late summer, during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, and in spring when outdoor projects begin. End of the financial year in June and Presidents’ Day on the 3rd Monday of February are also potential times for discounts.The Author Do you want to know the best times when you can buy a chainsaw with HUGE discounts or deals like free chain/oil? These are EXACT times when you can buy your chainsaw and save $150-$250. Being a tree surgeon, I own multiple saws. I have been buying my chainsaws in these times for a few years. To be honest, I also use some techniques which are not dependent on any specific time. I use these techniques to get good deals anytime for chainsaw oil, gas, and other accessories. (and you can do the same) 7 Best Time when chainsaws go on sale Chainsaws go on sale throughout the year, but the best time to find a good deal is typically during the following times: This is when many people are preparing for winter and need to stock up on firewood. As a result, many retailers offer sales on chainsaws and other outdoor power equipment during this time of year. The amount of money you can save on a chainsaw in the fall depends on a number of factors, including the brand, model, and retailer. However, in general, you can expect to save anywhere from 10% to 20% off the retail price of a chainsaw if you buy it in the fall. For example, STIHL, one of the leading manufacturers of chainsaws, currently has a fall promotion in the United States where customers can save up to $50 on select models. Other retailers, such as Home Depot and Lowe’s, also typically have chainsaw sales in the fall. Black Friday and Cyber Monday These major shopping holidays are another great time to find deals on chainsaws. Many retailers offer deep discounts on a variety of products, including chainsaws, during these events. In fact, many people consider these two days to be the best time of year to buy a chainsaw. In previous years, we have seen deals on chainsaws from top brands such as STIHL, Husqvarna, Echo, and Makita that could save up to $120. Walmart offered up to 41% discount on a wide range of chainsaws. In 2021, STIHL offered MS 170 16″ Chainsaw for $209.95, down from its regular price of $289.95 End of the financial year Towards the end of the financial year, usually in June, many companies need to move their stock, leading to potential discounts on chainsaws. This is because many retailers offer sales and discounts on chainsaws at the end of the financial year to clear out inventory and make room for new models. This is when people are starting to think about outdoor projects, such as landscaping and tree trimming. As a result, some retailers offer sales on chainsaws and other outdoor power equipment during this time of year. In addition to landscaping and tree trimming, spring is also a popular time for gardening and preparing the soil for planting. Many people take advantage of the warmer weather to start growing their own vegetables, flowers, and herbs. As a result, gardening supplies such as seeds, fertilizers, and gardening tools are often on sale during this season. Retailers understand the increased demand for these products and offer discounts to attract customers. Whether it’s revamping the backyard or starting a new garden, spring is the perfect time to get outdoors and tackle those outdoor projects with the help of discounted equipment and supplies. In the late summer, many retailers and manufacturers often roll out enticing promotions and discounts for chainsaws and blowers, capitalizing on the seasonal demand for outdoor equipment. These promotions aim to attract homeowners, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts who are preparing for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Some retailers may offer discounts of 10% to 25%, while others may offer different types of promotions such as a free case, chain, or other benefits with the purchase of a chainsaw. For example, the Husqvarna Endless Summer Sale offers up to 20% off on tractors, zero-turn mowers, and other products. Stihl also offers promotions on chainsaws and blowers in late summer. ECHO has a National Sales Event from September 1 to October 31, where customers can get a free battery-powered blower with the purchase of a 56V battery-powered 18 in. chainsaw kit. Some promotions for chainsaws and blowers are offered in the late summer. This holiday, which falls on the 3rd Monday in February, may also offer deals on chainsaws and outdoor power tools. Presidents’ Day, celebrated on the 3rd Monday in February, is not only a time to honor past presidents but also a great opportunity to snag some amazing deals. If you’re in the market for chainsaws and outdoor power tools, this holiday might just be the perfect time to make your purchase. Pro Tip: Discounts are mainly for homeowner chainsaws. I never see any discount on the professional-grade saw. I bought once Stihl 170 and Stihl 250 at a discounted price. it mainly depends on the dealers. If you want to buy a pro saw, I suggest not holding your breath for a discount. Take it when you need it. Other Times To get Discount In buying a chainsaw, some people wait for the right cutting season while some wait for the best deals or discounts. You can save some bucks through discounts if you buy at a specific time, from a specific source, and through a specific payment method. Whether you buy a homeowner or a pro saw, you can use a few options to lower the current price and get a good deal. This applies to both the brand new and used saws. In some cases, you can get a good deal, such as a free chain or oil from the dealers/store, with some research. Dealer Days From Stihl Stihl started a yearly promotion program named “Dealer days” from 2015. Some also call it winter warm-up. Sometimes, it only keeps a specific chainsaw model on sale, homeowner grade. However, in Ontario, some pro saws were on sale last year. In Europe, they started the promotion in 2015 and offered homeowner chainsaws such as model MS271 and MS291. You can get similar promotions from Black+Decker and other brands. Pro Tip: The yearly promotions are advertised on the Stihl website and newspaper. But there will be no advertisement if a dealer gets a discount from the stihl. They started offering some dealers a big discount on pro-grade chainsaws from 2016. Obviously, these dealers are those who have been selling Stihl’s products for more than decades. Keep in mind that all pro chainsaws are not under the offer or promotion. Last year, when I bought Stihl MS362 and Stihl MS441, I got a discount, but I had to pay the full price for Stihl MS461. For these deals, contact the dealers. These deals and promotions are not advertised as much as “Dealer days,” but they exist. For example, If you find one such deal, you can pick a second-generation Stihl 362 for the price of an Echo CS620. Just Before You Need To Cut For many people, the best time is when they need to use it or when they will get it at a low price. So, These can be:- - After a major hurricane - Need to cut firewood for winter - Need to trim branches - Do you use a chainsaw a few times or around the year? - Cost factors such as availability of discounts, tax season, etc. If you want to buy a chainsaw to clean up hurricane debris, I suggest buying it earlier. If you have never used a chainsaw before, I would suggest you buy a chainsaw with lightweight as it is safer. Today, with the help of an advanced weather forecast, we can know about any upcoming hurricane earlier. The main reason is that it will be hard to go out and shop for a chainsaw after a hurricane. Secondly, there may be a chance of stock out since many people will buy their saws then. Pro Tip: If you buy a chainsaw mainly for a hurricane, do not buy an electric or battery-powered chainsaw, as, after a hurricane, you may face load shedding and have to spend some days without electricity. A gas chainsaw is a good option for such a situation. If you have to cut firewood for winter, I suggest you buy it around 8-10 months earlier. It takes some time for the wood to season. Some people use a chainsaw a few months a year, while some use it around the year for trimming or maintaining a big property of their own. Most homeowner falls into this category. If you are one of them, buy it when you get a discount or a big deal if you can wait. Pro Tip: If you do pruning or cutting limbs, I suggest you not cut in the winter and at the beginning of spring. Doing so will get a lot of sap which will invite bad pests. Before The Right Season comes There are 4 cutting seasons when people cut most. They are:- Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Some people use chainsaws only in one season, and some in multiple seasons. There are many advantages of buying chainsaws just before or at the beginning of the season. You will get a lot of discount offers. Local stores and dealers offer the best deal in the fall. Online shops such as Amazon and eBay also offer a great deal in these seasons as these seasons are the peak cutting season. How To Get the best deal Anytime The easiest way to try luck and get a good deal is Amazon. You can get discounts from brands, sellers, or even amazon anytime. If you want to buy from local dealers, visit multiple dealers and compare prices before buying your desired saw. The price can vary from dealer to dealer. Brands such as Stihl do not set the selling price. So, the best deal depends on your location and nearby dealers/stores. Tip: Doing research can give you the best deal from local stores/dealers. I bought a chainsaw for 20$ less price, with a 2″ bigger bar (18″ instead of 16″) and 1 extra chain. credit card companies If you own a credit card, you can use it to get a discount. Most credit card companies offer cash-back incentives to their cardholders. If you pay through your credit card, you have to pay much less than the original price. I love it so much because of the amount of money I can save. This cashback, aka incentives, can easily beat any dealer’s discount offer. You can get $250 off on purchases of $1000 or more. For a chainsaw of $500-$700, you can get $100-$200 off. Tip: Even if you have a credit card, I suggest asking for a discounted price from the store. It will reduce the total amount. How To get the best chainsaw deals from dealers/stores Build a good relationship with dealers. This will help you in a number of ways, including free tips and suggestions on your projects from experts. In general, dealers expect to make a long-lasting relationship with the customers and sell consumables such as chains, oil, mix, etc, regularly to them. They make a higher profit in these recurring/consumable products than the chainsaw(one-time purchase). A few ways to build a good relationship can be:- - Tell them you will buy another model chainsaw(such as Stihl 441 or Stihl 461) from them soon. It needs to be a more expensive saw than what you will buy now! They may ask for no extra charges for freight. It works for me. - Buy chainsaw chains, oil, mix, and other parts from the same dealers. They remember recurring customers. - Build projects and discuss them so that they can know you by name. Almost all guys working in a power tools store know a bit about chainsaws, but someone from servicing is the best. whenever you need a chainsaw, you will get the proper treatment. Note that most dealers (if not all) of power tools cannot give much discount even if they wish. They have limited wiggle room. They make a little profit on whole goods. After purchase, they have to spend on shipping and labor. Sometimes, they cannot even profit on some saws considering their true costs on products. That’s why they cannot offer a big discount unless the manufacturers sanction. The cost/profit ratio of the dealers is low. it just can arrange some food for them at the end of the day. Among all brands, stihl gives the lowest margin to the dealers. The profit margin is so narrow on the chainsaw. They make a little profit on consumables. Some deals give discounts on chainsaws expecting you to make profiles from the consumables if you buy from them regularly. You can buy accessories such as gloves, helmets, or chainsaw boots for safety to convince the dealer of a discount. The bottom thing is that you cannot expect a discount from all dealers. The only way to check is to ask. So ask them. Tip: I buy chainsaws by paying MSRP or DSRP.I try to convince them and politely ask for a discount. If they don’t agree, I move on to other dealers/stores. I get more positive responses from hardware stores and tools/equipment rental/sales stores. Does “Buying time” matter? It depends on the situation, and there is no correct answer which can suit everyone’s needs. If you have a preferred brand, such as Huskies, I think there is no need to wait to buy a new chainsaw. However, you can wait for used saws as the price fluctuates considerably. Best Time To Buy Used Saw Needless to say, you want to buy a used saw at the price of a new saw. The best time for buying used saws is when the market gets so many saws and the price decreases. The best time for buying used saws actually depends on the cutting seasons. I’m mentioning a few below:- - Right before Christmas - From the end of Jan through the start of Feb - Mid-July through mid-Aug Most tree professionals take rests and eat Macaroni and cheese for weeks at the end of January. They keep their chainsaw under the workbench and look for ways to get rid of them. Some sell their saw, and that’s why the market will get a good number of used saws coming. Xmas is a good occasion for all types of business. Right before Xmas, the money the tree guys need will recover from Xmas. For a used saw, place matters more than time. You can get the same saw at 25%-30% less on a local farm auction instead of eBay or a hardware/rental store. You can check for offers on popular forums such as arboristsite.com or forestryforum.com. Tip: You can do reverse engineering. Check on what models people are not talking about. You can get those models at a much cheaper price. Before buying a used chainsaw, take some time and research the products carefully. If you want to buy online, there are a few websites to check and compare. Try to buy lightly used saws, such as in-home, garden, or yard. You can find such “used” saws on classified websites if it is “likely new.” I will mention a few renowned website names to check later. Do not purchase the saw that has been used for more than 2 years. Older saws do not worth the risks. You can find good pro saws around 1 year old and use those saws for firewood cutting. But you have to spend a little time to find and check them. If the price is the main factor, you can get a good deal for a used saw around the year. But you must be careful to select the right one during slow times. Most professional tree guys use chainsaws in spring. They try to upgrade their saw for better performance and sell old problematic saws. If you cannot check and judge a saw properly, you may end up buying a problematic saw. Tree companies sell saws that are already dropped. crushed or run over. So, before buying anything from them, double-check and ensure you get what you have paid for. Where To get good deals for used saw - Local craigslist - Forums or community sites - Farm auction up the road (my favorite) If you are a homeowner and your budget is $40-$50, I suggest not waiting for the right time. You will never receive a huge discount for these models. The same goes for the expensive pro saws most of the time. The dealers make a little profile, so the chance of a huge discount is rare here too.
