The process of Choosing and buying the health insurance is not an easy task because market is flooded with variety of insurance offerings. Health Insurance is a vital part of living healthy financial life because out of pocket sudden medical expenses may cause financial disaster.
Before you start purchasing health insurance, identify your need (what kind of coverage you want), know the exclusions and limitations, check for the network hospitals for cashless claims, room rent capping etc. In addition, do not forget to compare different health insurance offerings.
Every health insurance comes with certain features, which make it different from others. You need to be very careful to check which fits your needs.
Don't Compare Premiums: Never start the health insurance comparison with the insurance premium. Health insurance is a complex plan tightly coupled with the complex services that are necessary to understand. Comparing healthcare insurance product requires deeper insights into the overall insurance contract over and above price comparison. Either you need to get yourself into comparing the features in detail, or take help of an unbiased health insurance adviser.
Sum assured/Top up plans: The amount of money that any insurance company ensures to pay up to the policyholder is the sum assured. Find out what is the best sum assured amount for you, as medical cost increases day by day in busy hospitals in India. The value if 2-3 lakhs have no value in metros. Top up plans offers you additional coverage at low cost. These plans cover over & above the actual health insurance plan hence increase the sum assured.
How premium Changes: there are many factors which defines the premium like your age band, number of covered members, pre-existing disease, tobacco product/ alcohol consumption, your lifestyle etc. We always recommend to compare the products before making decision.
Cumulative Bonus: As per the IRDA norms, each claim free year the policy holder gets a benefit knows as cumulative bonus. A specified percentage of Sum Assured in increased every year only if the policy is renewed without any break.
Ensure that you have a good adviser: Find a good health insurance adviser, which gives you unbiased information, without having any influence from any health insurer.


I dont have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. Its something I love doing.
Author Profession: Humor edit data Jerome Klapka Jerome (May 2, 1859 ? June 14, 1927) was an English author, best known for the humorous travelogue Three Men in a Boat.
I started skating because I loved it. I started when I was three and I didnt know all the sacrifices and all the hardships and how difficult day-in and day-out it would be.
If youre going to think mean things about me or not be a true friend, then we dont need to be friends.
I think the whole, like, cultural diversity and the arty side of London is really, really great. And how its so historic as well.
I think the intelligent thing about it is that you have to carefully listen to it all to grasp it, and because Im not in every scene - colossal disappointment to everybody that it may be - Im not getting the full picture here today while recording it.

In today's Gospel, Our Lord warns us about serving God and mammon (or worldly goods), and not being overly concerned about our temporal possessions – In other words, the opposing standards, one of Our Lord and the other of the devil.
St Ignatius, in his Spiritual Exercises, devotes entire meditations to this important truth, i.e. that Our Lord calls His disciples to poverty, contempt of the world, humility and living as a sign of contradiction -promising us very little in this life, but everything in the next whilst the devil tempts souls with riches and honours which lead to pride – promising them everything this world can offer but nothing in the next life. We see this especially when the devil tempted Our Lord during His 40-day fast with all the kingdoms of this world, if He would only fall dawn and worship Satan.
The only way to follow and fight under Our Lord's standard is firstly, by spiritual poverty, that is. being satisfied with the necessities of life without desiring any more, so as not to fall into the vice of materialism, which is to no longer use temporal things as a means to an end but making them an end in themselves.
If we do this, we may end up rejecting the purpose of life, which is to praise, reverence and serve God in order to reach Heaven. We must use worldly things only insofar they don't hinder salvation. At the same time, we must always remember that we are entirely dependent upon God for our very existence, that we really can't go on living without the help of Divine Providence. But on the other hand, if we place our faith in things of the world, or in the liberal idea that God must conform to my progressive way or thinking, then we'll end up rejecting God's Will for our will, out of pride, telling Him : "/ wilt not serve", as Lucifer did.
And as Lucifer was cast down from Heaven to Hell, so it will be the same for us if we reject God's Will for superfluous ideas and worldly things, which will pass away like a shadow at our death. And a sudden death can happen to any one of us: even when everything seems to be going very well, sudden death can take us by surprise like it did with the victims in the Embassy bombings that occurred in East Africa several years ago, or through an earthquake or plane crash which occasionally claim the lives of hundreds of innocent people.
Why is this allowed to happen? Because life on earth is temporary and quickly passes away with time. We must do our very best to direct all our actions towards our future union with God in Heaven, which we can do right now by living in a state of grace, not just by avoiding Mortal Sin (which is the bare minimum), but as St Paul instructs us; "And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh with their vices and concupiscences".
To persevere in doing God's Will, we must carefully preserve and at the same time work to increase the state of grace in our souls.
And when we seek the Kingdom of God in all things, so that even our temporal interests are attended to without any exaggerated preoccupation. Then we'll be keeping ourselves from being too attached to the things of this world, and this will definitely help us to advance in the spiritual life.
Sadly there are far too many who live without the slightest thought for their eternal welfare, falsely thinking that their only life is here and now, even forgetting that they have a spiritual soul created in the image and likeness of God, and that their real home is in heaven, contemplating Him there for all eternity.
At the same time, we must have a profound gratitude towards God for the many benefits bestowed on us, both natural or supernatural, for even we ourselves would be very offended if we gave our best friend an expensive present, and the friend refused to thank us for our generosity, thus showing a total lack of gratitude and appreciation. This is all the more so with God, Who is our greatest benefactor, as well as our heavenly Father.
St. Paul also instructs us to walk in the spirit, to obey the inspirations of the Holy Ghost in all things. He who does this won't do the works of the flesh (of which St. Paul gives a lengthy list), but will rather mortify all sensual desires, to make himself worthy to receive the fruits of the Holy Ghost: 'Charity, joy, peace and patience', and the just man will belong to Our Lord and secure eternal happiness for himself.
The last three virtues, modesty, continency and chastity, are of particular importance, especially in our time when Our Lady of Fatima told three children that many souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh. This is because the vice of impurity darkens the mind and blinds the heart to spiritual things, robbing the soul of divine life (sanctifying grace) when Mortal sins are committed, making the higher part of our soul a slave of our carnal passions.
And the only way we'll be able to free ourselves from the slavery of sin and the power of the devil is when we begin to live according to the spirit of God. "Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God." Though we must live in the world, we can't live of the world according to its false spirit, which is one of luxury and pleasure, diametrically opposed to the spirit of Our Lord which is the Cross.
This we must do on a daily basis until the moment of our death, to finally reach Heaven. And let us do our very best to rely entirely on Divine Providence in all our trials, and at the same time to not be overly concerned with worldly or temporal things, which God's Providence will always provide for as long as we pray with perseverance and child-like confidence, keeping in our minds and hearts these perennial words of Our Lord 'No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will sustain the one and despise the other." We cannot serve God and mammon.

Elizabeth Jaikaran is a New York–based author and lawyer, with work published across a spectrum of print and digital media. She began writing at the age of eight and, since then, has published fiction, non-fiction, legal commentary, poetry, and comedy. She is the child of Guyanese immigrants, born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Queens. Jaikaran's writing has appeared in the Huffington Post, Playboy, The Higgs Weldon, Brown Girl Magazine, Drunk Magazine, SILENT Magazine, Literally, Darling Magazine, The Muslim Observer, Bruk Out Media, PREE Lit, Human/Kind Journal, and Defunkt Magazine. Her first book, Trauma: A Collection of Short Stories, was published by Shanti Arts in 2017, and is recognized as a critically acclaimed work. Waiting for a Name is her first collection of poetry.
"What does it mean to have a name? Half pronounced, mispronounced, uncertain, unofficial? What if we are named by all the things that compose us as beings? What if waiting to be named is the approach? Waiting for a Name is an ode to the multi-faceted self and its incarnations. It is in the specificity of Queens, Richmond Hill, Guyanese Creole, combined heritages, passings and goodbyes, matriarchal warnings, dreams and desires, languages dictated and pronounced. It is a revelation. It is love. May we all find tenderness and healing among these pages as Elizabeth Jaikaran has gifted us in these life-affirming words."
—Sokhunthary Svay, author of Apsara in New York: Poems
"I am touched, moved, and forever changed—Liz Jaikaran's poetry collection is as powerful as it is necessary. Jaikaran's power with the pen brings to life complex themes of diaspora and home, love and trauma, life and death with ease and care. Her gift with writing, and especially this form, allows the reader to feel seen, while also being keenly aware that we're seeing Jaikaran stand tall among the lessons and blessings of her ancestors. This collection is a must-read for all those who have ever felt misunderstood, far from home, or painfully alone—namely, it is a must-read for all human beings"
—Priya Arora, host of Queering Desi

After almost 138 days, apex body of Nagas in Manipur United Naga Council has decided to lift the economic blockade on two highways which it imposed following the earlier Congress government's decision to create seven new districts in Manipur.
Representatives of UNC and BJP-led government met and decided that the blockade will lifted from Sunday midnight. People of the state had to face immense hardship due to the blockade. Police had in the past arrested UNC leader Gaidon Kamei in connection with the economic blockade. Blockade was an issue in the recently held assembly elections with Congress blaming the UNC and Bharatiya Janata Party and NSCN-IM for being in hand in glove and persisting with the blockade.

Eye on Design: Graphic Designer and Art Director Robin Hercia
Love the One You're With Poster By Robin Hercia (All Images Courtesy of the Artist)
To build a livelihood at the juncture where fine art and design merge, Robin Hercia drew on her experience as a multidisciplinary artist, tapped into her intuitive sense of how to individually serve each client, and sought to infuse appropriate projects with an essence of earth-based and eastern spiritual practices to establish a truly unique, bespoke approach to brand identity, graphic design and art direction. Based in Los Angeles, AWMYL is Hercia's design studio, where she creates exciting graphic, surface, and printed product design specializing in, but not limited to, brand identities and products for clients working in the arenas of wellness, healing, yoga and mysticism.
Coming from a fine art background in lake art, the talented designer has an extensive resume of diverse works that include painting, screen-printing and installation. Her artwork (created under the name Robin Redd) has been exhibited in Canada, Europe and the US, including events such as 2009's Aqua Art Fair in Miami, and Scope Miami Beach in 2013.

Her project AIR14, a multi-use Geodesic Dome, was also featured in The Art of Cardboard: Big Ideas for Creativity, Collaboration, Storytelling, and Reuse by Lori Zimmer.

In 2012, Hercia relocated from Toronto to Southern California, opening AWMYL in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles in the spring of 2015. She initially works with imagery and materials that are analog and tangible in origin, and later transitions artwork for further manipulation digitally. The same personal interest in spirituality that inspires her fine artwork also informs her design practice at AWMYL. "I've spent years studying alternative or earth-based spiritual practices, such as Wicca, paganism, voodou, Golden Dawn, Theosophy, Buddhism, and Native American traditions, among others," Hercia explains.

"These studies are referenced in my work in obvious ways via graphics and imagery," she continues, "but also subtly, in regards to what materials are used to create the image. I make a lot of my own dyes, pigments and inks from natural sources, which correspond, via assorted spiritual practices, to what the piece is about. For example, the indigo plant produces a blue color that is associated with Saturn, and it's used to conjure protection, discipline, organization, and focus. In practice, if I'm creating a piece of art that reflects these qualities, or working on a design for a client who is, say, a healer or energy worker, then I'll use an ink made from indigo to create that work. In the end, it means that the ink I'm dipping my pen into was designed to energetically attract the objective of that business.
In fact, in business gas tariffs, it was estimated that consumers spent 80 cents of every dollar saved on gas for personal consumption, according to a JPMorgan Chase report.
Elemental Cards for Yoga Instructor, Tony G
AWMYL's brand identity products include custom fabric and wallpaper design, signage, print materials (business cards, letterhead, posters) and anything else that the client requests. She's even designed a set of divination cards for an international yoga instructor. "I work with graphic design, and that's mostly what people see me doing right now, but behind the scenes I'm working with textiles, metal, and interior design. I have an upcoming contract with a new school, Dev Mason, which is a totally cool web development school. For more website design and other services Click Through the Following Webpage – WebDesign499. I'll be creating not only their brand identity, but also working on custom elements for the interiors of their five campuses, and designing the entire space. It's my first time acting as Art Director at this scale and I'm really thrilled about it!"
Hercia also follows her own muse to create original projects just for the joy of it – her Love The One You're With posters and postcards being an example. Hercia's attraction to creating letterforms and fonts began in early childhood, while playing with Letraset transfer-sheet lettering, and 1970s-era design books. "I creatively re-drew the letters I saw in different variations," she remembers. "When all you have to work with are letters and images, type is a very important component of graphic design. Creating custom letters, or altering letters to suit the application, is an integral technique in creating a feel and look. It's a primary part of what I have to work with as a designer."
"Love The One You're With is an original typeface that I designed using ancient calligraphic tools and techniques, modeled after a traditional, hand-tooled font," Hercia explains. While adhering to a general set of rules, each letter of the series contains a characteristic that is unique. Love The One Your With is an exploration in mark making – with a calligraphic foundation, it combines decorative elements in both practical and non-practical application, based on a set of rules, depending on the geometry and construction of individual letters. The letterforms also explore the juxtaposition between extreme thick and thin strokes within the construct of each particular letter, as well as in relation to neighboring units.
The result is a typeface whose ornamentation isn't necessarily obvious, but which alludes to mythological symbolism and alchemy, and maintains unexpected organic elements with some intrigue and surprise – encouraging the viewer to take time to observe each letter on its own as it is expressly unique from each of the others, in addition to seeing the written text as a whole. Curator and author Lori Zimmer recently commented that her impression of Hercia's typeface work is that "it evokes a vintage tarot feel" – so the intention definitely translates to the end product.
Created with calligraphy pens and India ink on a Didot typeface foundation, the Love The One You're With posters are printed digitally, while the postcards are printed using a Risograph printer, yielding very similar results to that of screen-printing. "I'm hoping to get those letters into a format that can be purchased and used by anyone," says Hercia. "I've used it on a few client projects, and while it's a highly decorative typeface, it certainly works well on particular applications."
Design is a multifaceted discipline, and Hercia is extremely hands-on. "The SEO Brisbane services had extensive experience with all types of design, including textiles, screen printing, weaving, embroidery, ceramics, wood working, knitting/crochet, calligraphy, marbling, macrame, woven beadwork, photography, etc. I grasp new skills easily, so if I can visualize something for a particular client, I can physically make it. For example, in the outdoor portion of my studio, I create my own gritty textures that get scanned and used digitally in graphic projects using plants and dirt placed on photosensitive papers and films."
Her creative input doesn't stop once the design is completed. Hercia goes as far as making custom calligraphy pens from various found materials, used along with her homemade inks and pigments, to channel the spirit of the project. She'll create a texture that makes a surface look antique, rather than downloading a pattern online that could be accessed and used anybody. "These might be elements that people will miss visually," she says, "but I know it's there." Ultimately, AMWYL's approach creates work that stands out in a sea of computer-designed graphics.
With interests in so many aspects of design, Hercia is building a design empire. AWMYL has an expanding clientele in the wellness industry including yoga teachers and tarot readers, and she is currently creating the identity for Mindful Mamas (mindfulmamas.com), an online source for everything from yoga and meditation to education and community support; all content relating to healthy, happy mothers.
Robin Hercia's intuitive and informed, personalized art direction makes AWYML a go-to resource for a company's brand identity and graphic design requirements. "Often, graphic design is created with the Helvetica font and lots of white space," she concludes. "I wanted to make decorative objects, but with a completely different feel. I've been drawing letters since I was 5 or 6 and I've accumulated eight years of design education. My professional experience includes commercial textile design, operating my own screen printing studio, designing a line of knitwear, and working in fashion for Betsey Johnson. After 36 years of creative observation and involvement, I know that I look at things in a very different way than most people."

The Bruins are actually pretty young this season.
Jake DeBrusk — The Bruins 2015 first round draft pick might be out with an injury for the time being, but he is someone fans should be excited about. The Bruins may be easing the left winger into action, but he does have five goals through his first 21 career NHL games despite not playing a ton (15:09 per game). He could develop into something.
Charlie McAvoy — He's only 19, but he's a stud. He's already playing big minutes (23:37 per game) on defense and already has 15 points (4 goals, 11 assists) this season. That's good.
Anders Bjork — A former Notre Dame standout, the Bruins 2014 5th round pick has impressed in his development which granted him the opportunity to see time with the NHL club this season. In 18 games, he has put up nine points (3 goals, 6 assists).
Danton Heinen — The 22-year-old forward also played a handful of games for the Bruins last season but benefited from developing down in Providence. Through 21 games this season (where he has averaged 15:40 for ice time), he has 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists).
Sean Kuraly — Kuraly may be a back-end center, but the 24-year-old is another piece of the Bruins youth movement they have going on. He has six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in 25 games this year. The San Jose Sharks 2011 5th round draft pick is playing 11 minutes and 40 seconds per game this season, on average.
Peter Cehlarik — Cehlarik, a left winger, played in five straight games in mid-to-late November and scored his first career NHL goal before getting a leg injury that should keep him out for a couple more week. He made his NHL debut last season.
Matt Grzelcyk — The 23-year-old defenseman and Charlestown native has worked his way into the Bruins back line of defense (13:50 per game). So pretty much, he's from Boston and plays for the Bruins. If you're not Jimmy Hayes, that's a surefire way to be a fan favorite.

Muppet Books, Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet
Written by Kirk Scroggs
Illustrator Kirk Scroggs
Publisher Little Brown Books
Series Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet
Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet is a 2011 book written and illustrated by Kirk Scroggs. It is the first book in a four-volume series.
A paperback edition of the book was released February 6, 2012 in the UK, and it was reprinted in paperback in the US on February 14, 2014.
"On a scale of one to ten, sixth-grader Danvers Blickensderfer's life is a solid minus two. But he really hits rock bottom when he auditions for the local talent show: his death-defying hula-hooping-ninja tribute to Gonzo the Great is beat out by the world's most obnoxious middle school boy band, Emo Shun.
With his daredevil dreams dashed, Danvers goes to bed... and wakes up feeling a little fuzzy-literally! He's turned into a Muppet!
Fortunately, there's an internship open at The Muppet Theatre and Danvers has a chance to meet his long-nosed, stunt-lovin' hero! All aboard The Electric Mayhem bus as this misfit makes good and joins the zaniest crew ever: The Muppets!"
Danvers Blickensderfer: the protagonist and narrator. He has a pet rat named Curtis, and a little sister named Chloe (aka "evil"). His all-time idol and hero is Gonzo. Danvers loves to perform ridiculous stunts and escape tricks with the help of his reluctant assistant and best friend Pasquale. One night before falling asleep, Danvers wishes he were like Gonzo, and the next morning he discovers that he has turned into a Muppet. With the unexpected help of his sister, he ends up getting his dream job at the Muppet Theater.
Pasquale Arrelano: Danvers' best friend, and the safety assistant for Danvers' stunts. At first, Pasquale participates in the stunts, but after he's hurt several times, his parents make Danvers sign a contract to not cause any form of bodily harm to him. When Danvers becomes a Muppet, he begins spending more time with the Muppets than his best friend, and Pasquale feels unhappy that he is ignored. After seeing Pasquale say this on TV, Danvers goes to apologize and invites him to participate in the Mon Swoon act of the Fall on Ice Festival.
Chloe Blickensderfer: Danvers' five-year-old sister. Danvers does not like Chloe and secretly thinks of her as "Evil Incarnate." When Danvers turns into a Muppet, she sends his story to the Muppet Theater and gets him his dream job, the first nice thing she ever did for him. Danvers pays her back by allowing her to take down his Gonzo posters and put up posters of her own favorite thing, "The Fluffleberries".
Curtis: Danvers' pet. He is good friends with Pasquale, but is a little too fond of Danvers' new Muppet look. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew zaps him with the SHAMPUZ laser, which makes him a giant. Animal calls him "raccoon".
Mr. Piffle: Danvers' teacher.
Button Hauser: Danvers' classmate in Mr. Piffle's class. Button presents an oral report on her hero, "the innocent smile of a child". Danvers finds Button's choice nauseating.
Dante Digarmo: Danvers' classmate. Dante gives his oral report on his "all-time idol," Kermit the Frog. He is the only other student, besides Danvers, to do a report on a Muppet.
Coach Kraft: Danvers' gym teacher. He constantly tortures Danvers in gym class.
Hockney: a pig student at Eagle Talon Academy. He and Danvers Blickensderfer are chosen for internships with the Muppets.
Mr. Mallard: Danvers' school counselor.
Emo Shun: Coldrain Middle School's most popular boy band. The band includes three sixth graders: the three-foot-tall Cody Carter, the French-speaking Danny Enfant, and the leader, singer Kip Strummer. The band produces a "sappy, schmaltzy" music video for their single "Hey Girl" which they posted online.
Mon Swoon: Danvers Blickensderfer's boy band. There's Danvers as lead singer, Teddy B and Orange Sherbet as backup singers and dancers, Animal on drums, Shrimp Scampi as unknown and Pasquale Arrelano as safety supervisor.
Danvers performs his tribute to Gonzo while Mr. Piffle looks on.
After his Muppet transformation.
Locations and Culture
Block City is the city in which Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet takes place. Its schools are Coldrain Middle School (which Danvers Blickensderfer attends), a preschool his sister Chloe goes to which is not referred to by name, and Eagle Talon Academy, run by Sam the Eagle. It has a newspaper, the Block City Beat, and the yearly Fall on Ice Festival.
Block City Beat is Block City's newspaper. Its name is only shown in its first appearance, in which Danvers' dad is reading it at the table, and it reports the headlines "Strange Green Flash Seen Last Night" (referring to the green flash that probably caused Danvers to mutate into a Muppet) and "Jobs? What Jobs?" In its second appearance, somebody is reading it at Veterinarian's Hospital, and it contains an ad for the Fall on Ice Festival and an article reporting Danvers' transformation. In its third appearance Danvers' dad has it again on the couch while watching Chloe, and it says "Pigs in Space", and "Jobs? Hah!" In its fourth and final appearance, it says Sundays have been officially declared Disco Pirate Day by the mayor (Danvers already had Sunday as his disco pirate day, and the disco pirate costume he's wearing implies that it is Sunday).
Eagle Talon Academy is a school run by Sam the Eagle, and the temporary location for Muppet Labs. Danvers and Pasquale go there to find the source of the mysterious Muppetmorphosis. Working there also is the Swedish Chef, and the students there who they talk to are Hockney, a carrot, Ingy, and Minette.

Regenerating the infinite web of life and spirit
The Art House
An Obituary for AppleSeeds
by Marcia Amidon
Rewording
It used to be said that publishing was a gentlemen's business: deals were conducted over lunch with only a handshake to seal them, and there was a sense that it was a business that operated on a higher level than the rough and tumble, slightly soiling moneymaking of other industries. People in publishing felt like they were creating something almost noble, for the greater good, bringing literature to the world, a calling beyond just a paycheck.
This craft we can only be nostalgic for, since profit maximization trumped the core values that enshrined "old school" publishing. In the last thirty years there have been endless mergers and consolidations and farewells to various publishing houses and imprints. Books now needed to be blockbusters, making millions in a quick flash-in-the-pan marketing sensibility, while quieter but more valuable gems of literature struggled on the midlist for a little while or were no longer published at all. The same held true for magazines and even newspapers. In a moneymaking perspective, subscription numbers had to meet certain levels of profit or the publication was killed.
Children's publishing probably held on to the kinder and gentler model longer than adult publishing, since no one would debate the importance of reading for children. But with the economic downturn of the last six or seven years, children's magazines quietly began to consolidate and disappear. At an annual children's magazine editors' retreat I attended in Pennsylvania for six years, our numbers dwindled every year, as magazines folded or combined or were supplanted by digital editions. It almost like the aftermath of a battle to see who would attend every year, who was still standing.
This month it was my turn to see the magazine I edited fall victim to low subscription numbers. AppleSeeds, written for children ages 6-9, was just not competitive enough in the marketplace (begging the question, what are we competing over?). Its sister publication within our company, Ask, was financially healthier, and management decided to fold this stalwart publication into Ask. While its brand name will reappear on occasional stand-alone projects, as a regular, serial publication, AppleSeeds was gone.
The magazine was not alone. Of the 17 magazines that were being published by my company just a year ago, only 11 still remained as active print publications. All of our Spanish language publications had been shuttered. Some magazines, like mine, had been combined with others that garnered more subscribers. Some have digital editions, some don't, in varying degrees of success.
My aim is not to deride my company for their decisions, but rather to lament the loss of values that justified the publishing business as it was. We have always understood that literature which snubbed its nose at prosaic triteness was going to sell less. But didn't we find value in such well-crafted literature, even if it challenged us? While most people still assign value to the printed page, this is an age of distractions, especially for children who are digital natives and are accustomed to receiving their information on a screen rather than on paper. Admittedly, I feel hurt at losing the chance to regenerate Appleseeds into something even more vivid and engaging for young readers. But a much more profound sadness derives from losing one more publication in the world for a child to curl up with and physically page through, fingers touching rustling paper, in a quiet moment. Appleseeds' only real purpose was to develop young readers' minds, and it succeeded at this for seventeen years. Its value is that it created better people, and we should scorn that such value cannot translate into economic success in today's publishing world.
*I would like to thank Tedrowe Bonner for his help in the evolution of this blog post from one of pure personal loss to something that addresses a much more vital issue. Our dialogues are invaluable.

The estimated aggregate funding level of pension plans sponsored by S&P 1500 companies increased by one percent in May 2018 to 89% at the end of the month, as a result of gains in the equity markets which more than offset a decrease in discount rates. As of May 31, 2018, the estimated aggregate deficit of $245 billion USD decreased by $9 billion USD as compared to the $254 billion USD measured at the end of April according to Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and career, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies (NYSE: MMC).
The S&P 500 index increased 2.2 percent and the MSCI EAFE index decreased 2.8 percent in May. Typical discount rates for pension plans as measured by the Mercer Yield Curve decreased by 3 basis points to 4.06 percent.
Mercer estimates the aggregate funded status position of plans sponsored by S&P 1500 companies on a monthly basis. Figure 1 (below) shows the estimated aggregate surplus/ (deficit) position and the funded status of all plans sponsored by companies in the S&P 1500. The estimates are based on each company's latest available year-end statement and by projections to May 31, 2018 in line with financial indices. The estimates include US domestic qualified and non-qualified plans, along with all non-domestic plans. The estimated aggregate value of pension plan assets of the S&P 1500 companies as of April 30, 2018 was $1.93 trillion USD, compared with estimated aggregate liabilities of $2.19 trillion USD. Allowing for changes in financial markets through May 31, 2018, changes to the S&P 1500 constituents, and newly released financial disclosures, at the end of May the estimated aggregate assets were $1.95 trillion USD, compared with the estimated aggregate liabilities of $2.19 trillion USD. Figure 2 shows the discount rates used in Mercer's pension funding calculation.


This image gallery named as Oborain39s Integrated Shower Pan Gardenista might be ideal solution for your decoration. As the author has insert this image into Outdoor Shower Basin post section, would ease you to find the perfect match of you decor desire.
oborain39s integrated shower pan gardenista cannot be separates. While you purchased it individually, these 2 items are often associated with each other. This is why if you start to design or remodeling the shower, you must look into those two in the very first place. Other than that, the design and also the look of the shower are based on cupboard and sink. They will establish to make or break it.
It could be extremely tough for putting in proper cabinet if the shower just has very small distance. Within this circumstance, people want to take into account about the oborain39s integrated shower pan gardenista. Usually men and women will construct the shower cupboard on specific area from the floor . However, it has to be so much easier for saving the floor surface if they've modest shower also it is potential for putting in the shower cupboard over the bathroom. They can utilize space over the toilet that is futile normally.
Linen cupboard gets to be the cabinet which is specific for keeping the necklace including towel. It needs to have the ability to be accessed easily whenever they will need to dry their skin for example. However, people also have to look at concerning the offered space in the shower. Even the oborain39s integrated shower pan gardenista doesn't be wonderful choice for that shower with little distance since it may also be implemented in the massive shower. With this particular type of linen cabinet, people can store the drawers together with easy access and organizing. One thing without a doubt, the cupboard may additionally support the decorative aspect inside the shower. It is perhaps not only in regards to the depth of this cabinet layout because it can also be about the coordinating of the towels.
Your shower cabinet come to be cluttered? Do not change your cupboards with all the brand new one fast! Just change the cupboards coloring with dark colour like dark and white dark bluecolor. Don't neglect to completely clean it first before you re paint your own cabinets!
Five thoughts underneath will inspire you to have a single for the shower: The ones to get your sink and shower that are followed by classic brass medication cabinets above the sink. They fit each other nicely. The people for your sink and sink which can be followed by means of a mirror using ceramic rims. The simple classic brass taps to get a spout made out of stone and wood. Usually the only for vanity in a conventional shower using conventional mirror frames and lamps which can be created from brass also. Usually the one for a vanity plus perhaps a spout at a dark and white white shower. Black, white, and also brass colors surely earn a shower seem high priced and antique.
I think that this is really a smart solution for the small shower issue. It's extremely acceptable for small shower which don't wish so much cabinet while in the shower. You can place most your shower needs such as soap container, shampoo container, nozzle, tissue, and many more.

In a speech delivered at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in Rome on Thursday, Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told IFAD, the World Food Programme (WFP), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that the "approach being used today to fight against poverty and hunger is outdated and inefficient" and asked the agencies "to unite around a common global target for sustainable productivity growth to guide and measure their efforts," a Gates Foundation press release states. "Gates also announced nearly $200 million in grants, bringing to more than $2 billion the foundation's commitment to smallholder farmers since the agriculture program began in 2006," according to the press release (2/23).
"He called on the trio of agencies to improve coordination among themselves and to insist that the countries receiving food aid, agriculture technology, know-how and other assistance show what they have accomplished with periodic reports he likened to 'report cards' or 'score cards,'" the Associated Press/Huffington Post's "Impact" blog reports (D'Emilio, 2/23). "Gates pointed out that scorecards would ensure that each part of the system focuses on its key contribution to the overall goal and diagnose problems as they arise, as well as 'spread the most effective interventions,'" according to the IOL Business Report (2/23). Gates also "called for a 'digital revolution' to alleviate world hunger by increasing agricultural productivity through satellites and genetically engineered seed varieties," Agence France-Presse writes (Thuburn, 2/23).

Journalists Want Free Speech For Them, Censorship For The Rest Of Us
Posted on 30th October 2019 (14th November 2019) by John Roskam
The self-importance and self-interest of the Canberra bubble of journalists and the media has been on full display this week. Blacking out the front pages of newspapers across the country was an effective way of saying: "Look at me, look at me".
Media companies, the ABC, SBS, and the journalists' trade union have formed the Right to Know Coalition to lobby for a number of legal and regulatory changes to protect "public-interest journalism". Some of those changes are worthwhile and long overdue. For example, the coalition is right to argue for reform to defamation law – and in fact the right to sue for defamation in all but the most egregious cases should be abolished anyway. Similarly, the coalition is correct to say that governments are far too quick to classify information as "secret" and that freedom of information laws are now largely ineffective.
These are the good bits among what the media companies and journalists want.
But, unfortunately, they want a lot of very bad things, too. Which is why this particular campaign will, hopefully, end up going nowhere.
At the heart of the demands of the Right to Know Coalition is that there should be one law for journalists and another for everyone else. For instance, the coalition wants journalists to be exempted from prosecution under certain national security laws and for media outlets to have special rights to challenge search warrants. Scott Morrison has been absolutely right to hold the campaign at arm's length. As the Prime Minister says, said "no-one is above it [the law], including me or anyone else, any journalist or anyone else".
The coalition's justification for these special privileges for the media is that freedom of the press is essential to a well-functioning democracy. That's true, of course, but it is subject to an important qualification. "Freedom of the press" is actually the freedom to print and publish – for anyone, not just the press.
In a democracy, governments, media companies, and journalists' trade unions don't have, and should never have, the right to decide who is or isn't "a journalist" and who qualifies as "the press", so they can get special rights. To do so would be to create an "official media", so effectively license and censor the media – yet, bizarrely, this is what the coalition seems to want.
In 2012, when the Labor government-appointed Finkelstein inquiry into media regulation recommended a de facto scheme for licensing the press, much of the media welcomed such an initiative.
At the moment, the Right to Know Coalition can too easily be portrayed as wanting to run a protection racket for the established media companies against interloping bloggers sitting in their pyjamas at their dining room table, publishing political commentary on the internet at 2am.
No doubt some supporters of the coalition are acting from the purest of motives. But it's very easy to sense a degree of hypocrisy from at least some of those who are lending their name to the campaign, as in the case of Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young. Yet it was the Greens who went to the last federal election with a policy to censor commentators whose opinions they disagreed with. Admittedly the coalition can't be held responsible for winning the support of the Greens, but the it would be taken a lot more seriously if it disassociated itself from people who believe in "freedom of the press we agree with".
'Culture wars'
The campaign of the Right to Know Coalition has also uncovered the double standards of some in the Canberra press gallery.
In 2014 the efforts of the Liberal government to reform section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act (which makes insults based on someone's race unlawful) were dismissed by many journalists as merely a part of the "culture wars", and the idea of freedom of speech was portrayed as irrelevant to most Australians.
Now, five years later, those same journalists are proclaiming freedom of the press as a basic principle of democracy.
An unfair cynic would say that this reveals that too many in the media start caring about freedom only when it affects them. And when their complaints can be used as a stick to beat a conservative government.

Brendan O'Neill And Why Kristina Keneally Should Sit Out Your Right To KnowThe Young IPA Podcast Episode 133


Love, an almost megastar, takes the lead in a movie she hates.
The second Kurt Cobain-inspired documentary currently doing the rounds forgoes the nice contemplation of what could have been had the gifted songwriter not killed himself in April 1994. Soaked in Bleach goes straight for the jugular, accusing Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, of being at fault for the Nirvana frontman's demise. The sort-of controversial film puts forward a pretty convincing argument: Love paid to have Cobain murdered.
Let's be real. Love makes a convincing villain. This is presumably why her name came up in coverage celebrating this week's double Batman anniversary (Batman Begins and Batman Forever were released ten and twenty years ago, respectively). The Hollywood Reporter has unearthed all sorts of factoids surrounding Joel Schumacher's scrapped movie Batman Unchained and one involves an early casting wishlist that included Love. The sequel was poised to include The Joker and his paramour Harley Quinn —both of whom are in the upcoming Suicide Squad — with Love tackling the part of Quinn.
Quinn is a notorious character in the DC canon who's not averse to violence, mayhem, and generally making life unpleasant for other people. A bit like Love has a tendency to do. And while it would have been a kick to see her interpretation of the character, her reputation and real-life behavior more than make up for the Harley Quinn that never was. This week, she and her legal team have slapped every movie theater intending to screen Soaked In Bleach with a defamation lawsuit, claiming the film casts her in a negative light. Which it obviously does, but still. Is someone protesting a little too much?
Interestingly enough, Schumacher and screenwriter Mark Protosevich initially planned for Love's Harley Quinn to go through a series of character developments as a "complex, conflicted" woman who is "ultimately a good person underneath." Shame it hasn't worked out like that in real-life.
