Milton Friedman - Biography
From Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation Web Site
Milton Friedman, recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize for Economic Science, was a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, from 1977 to 2006. He was also Paul Snowden Russell Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago, where he taught from 1946 to 1976, and was a member of the research staff of the National Bureau of Economic Research from 1937 to 1981.
Professor Friedman was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1988 and received the National Medal of Science the same year. He is widely regarded as the leader of the Chicago School of monetary economics, which stresses the importance of the quantity of money as an instrument of government policy and as a determinant of business cycles and inflation.
In addition to his scientific work, Professor Friedman had also written extensively on public policy, always with primary emphasis on the preservation and extension of individual freedom. His most important books in this field are (with Rose D. Friedman) Capitalism and Freedom (University of Chicago Press, 1962); Bright Promises, Dismal Performance (Thomas Horton and Daughters, 1983), which consists mostly of reprints of tri-weekly columns that he wrote for Newsweek from 1966 to 1983; and (with Rose Friedman) Free to Choose (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1980), which complements a ten-part TV series of the same name, shown over PBS in early 1980, and (with Rose D. Friedman) Tyranny of the Status Quo (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1984), which complements a three-part TV series of the same name, shown over PBS in early 1984.
He was a member of the President's Commission on an All-Volunteer Armed Force (1969-70) and of the President's Commission on White House Fellows (1971-73). He was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board, a group of experts outside the government, named in early 1981 by President Reagan.
He had also been active in public affairs, serving as an informal economic adviser to Senator Goldwater in his unsuccessful campaign for the presidency in 1964, to Richard Nixon in his successful campaign in 1968, to President Nixon subsequently, and to Ronald Reagan in his 1980 campaign.
Cato President Ed Crane and Milton Friedman at the 2004 Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing liberty
He had published many books and articles, most notably A Theory of the Consumption Function (University of Chicago Press, 1957), The Optimum Quantity of Money and Other Essays (Aldine, 1969), and (with A. J. Schwartz) A Monetary History of the United States (Princeton University Press, 1963), Monetary Statistics of the United States (Columbia University Press, 1970), and Monetary Trends in the United States and the United Kingdom (University of Chicago Press, 1982).
Professor Friedman was a past president of the American Economic Association, the Western Economic Association, and the Mont Pelerin Society, and is a member of the American Philosophical Society and of the National Academy of Sciences.
He also had been awarded honorary degrees by universities in the United States, Japan, Israel, and Guatemala, as well as the Grand Cordon of the First Class Order of the Sacred Treasure by the Japanese government in 1986.
Friedman received a B.A. in 1932 from Rutgers University, an M.A. in 1933 from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. in 1946 from Columbia University.
He and his wife established the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation, for the purpose of promoting parental choice of the schools their children attend. The Foundation is based in Indianapolis and its president and chief operating officer is Gordon St Angelo.
He and his wife published their memoirs: Milton and Rose D. Friedman, Two Lucky People: Memoirs (University of Chicago Press, 1998).
On November 16, 2006, Dr. Friedman passed away at the age of 94 in San Francisco.

News | Press Release
AVAST™ Designed To Stop Germs' Spread
BY Shelley Byrne : May 26th 2021
Non-toxic, food-safe sterilization technology first developed for the cruise industry is now available to help prevent the spread of many types of illnesses on workboats and elsewhere.
AVAST Anti-viral Aerosolized Sterilization Technology™ uses aerosolized hydrogen peroxide and ozone to create a dry mist that leaves no residue behind. The product was developed and is marketed by Wela Group LLC, a Long Island, N.Y.-based innovation and development company operating primarily in the marine field. It is available for purchase at welagroup.com.
"In September of 2019 we were exploring different technologies to destroy norovirus on ships, particularly cruise ships," Wela Group CEO Barbara Dutton-Weingarten said. "We looked into aerosolized H2O2 and UVC light, as well as other technologies. Our main criteria were that it was to be something that was non-toxic, food safe and leaving no residue. It was important that it be portable, simple to operate with no need for additional staff. We identified a technology out of Italy and were working out the final details of our distributor agreement, and then the coronavirus hit Italy. The Italian government commandeered their entire inventory in the name of the national good. That left us with no product, but we still needed to solve the problem.
"Fortunately, we have a team that has a 'Failure is not an option' approach," she continued. "As we all know, mariners and engineers do not stop until a problem is resolved!"
The solution was a three-pronged approach to sterilization, said Eric Holohan, chief technology officer.
"AVAST uses well established, EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] registered antimicrobials: off-the-shelf 3 percent to 10 percent hydrogen peroxide and ozone, which the unit produces itself," Holohan said. "It has an ultrasonic dry mist generator to micronize the antimicrobials while the incoming air to the device is also treated via an immobilized silver filter, which is also bioactive. It is food safe and leaves no residue. Third-party lab tests have demonstrated a greater than 99.98 percent destruction of the coronavirus, leaving no viable virus on treated areas."
Additionally, he said, AVAST is small, portable, easy to use, cost-effective and "a very quick way to decontaminate air and surfaces while leaving zero chemical residue."
All that is left behind is water vapor and breathable oxygen.
"The surfaces will feel dry to the touch even directly after a complete application at room temperature," he said.
Dutton-Weingarten and Holohan developed the technology with wide application to killing germs that cause many different types of illnesses.
"Although COVID-19 is currently the most pressing problem, AVAST was designed with an eye to the future, and not just for solving what is happening today," Dutton-Weingarten said. "Our system is effective against many base types of pathogens, including 32 different virus bases,108 different bacterial types, including E.coli, and 38 molds and spores, including black mold and anthrax."
Ron Monell, owner of Wela Group Gulf Coast, said AVAST can be used in a wide variety of enclosed spaces.
"Transportation is an ideal area for use: planes, trains and automobiles, ambulances and buses, ships, ferries and workboats of all types are equally applicable," Monell said.
Food service and hospitality industries also use AVAST, with crews liking that they can simply set the timer before turning off the lights after a meal and be assured that kitchen and dining areas will be clean and sanitized when they arrive the next day, he said.
From the beginning, maritime uses were clear. The word "avast" it itself a nautical term meaning "stop," a name the developers thought was perfect for stopping the spread of infection.
Maritime uses have included decontaminating vessels and vehicles that transported workers who tested positive for COVID-19, Monell said. He said it is ideal for crew changes and as part of vessels' normal cleaning routine for the overall health and safety of the crew.
One use is for sanitizing cargoes.
"We believe this to be pertinent at present given the revelations in several locations around the world where the virus has been detected on cargoes and has sparked new outbreaks," Holohan said. "Having confirmed the efficacy of this method with the leading expert in containerized transportation, we are pursuing a protocol for universal application to container units prior to loading, fully loaded and prior to unloading in order to completely ensure both contamination-free cargo and the health and safety of those handling it. We have developed a rigorous, yet minorly obstructive, protocol in order to carry out this goal. We believe it inevitable that cargo sterilization will become the norm as the instances of new pathogens increase due to various climatic and geo-economic trends."
Wela Group parent company Green Framework was founded in 2016, while Wela Group was established in early 2020 in response to the unfolding pandemic.
"WELA Group decided it was necessary to put our full resources behind the development of a practical and easy to use, and yet highly efficient and effective method to protect people from the ravages of COVID-19," Dutton-Weingarten said. "So, while the world went through several lockdowns and restrictions, we ramped up our work on the AVAST system."
The prototype design, build and testing of the first AVAST unit took place in February 2020, with refinement and design for commercial production a month later and initial application for patent and trademark in April 2020. Third-party certification for efficacy on a wide variety of pathogens, including COVID-19, took place in November 2020. In February of this year, Wela Group applied for European safety CE certification, and full patent application was completed last month.
AVAST is designed not only to be safe for humans but also for the environment, and environmental protection is an important company value, Dutton-Weingarten said.
"We are well aware of the ravages that toxic chemical runoff can have on aquatic life and its lasting negative impact on the environment," she said. "As parents, we are equally concerned about the health risks many disinfectants pose to all of us and our pets. AVAST dry mist sterilization system is completely non-toxic and food safe. Now that more of us are working remotely, it is important to have a virus-free home space since we are spending so much more time in the same location. AVAST does not emit volatile toxins into your living space, kitchen, workspace and home. Hydrogen peroxide rapidly degrades into oxygen and water and is not toxic. AVAST sterilization destroys viruses effectively but does so in an environmentally responsible way. We are proud that our system leaves surfaces and air sterilized and clean without residue."
Moving into the future, Dutton-Weingarten said she thinks that because of AVAST's effectiveness in destroying so many pathogens, it also has a high probability of working on emerging diseases that have the potential of becoming pandemic.

so as every music blog in the know universe has already covered, there's a new Belle and Sebatian record entitled the Life Pursuit that is releasing this week. i know "another sunny day" has been available for download since leaves where still falling from the trees last year and i liked it quite a bit, enough to ride my anticipation out for a few months. it's hard to believe Belle and Sebastian have been around like ten years now. they've always been one of my favorite bands and yet i always felt guilty stating as much because compared to my other favorite bands, they didn't come off as being around long enough to prove themselves.
in 1997 i flew out to new york to catch the band's first shows in the states. i still remember it quite vividly. the first show i was right up against the stage. i was on the guest list and so no one stopped to see if i had a camera or anything. thus, i took a bunch of pics that ended up being used in magazines around the world, which was kinda neat back when i was just some dumb college kid way in love with a band. the highlight of the show, or moreso the story i recollect most, is when i followed matt from the Push Kings backstage, basically coming off as we belonged there. i found myself speechless in a conversation between B&S and members of Pavement and American Music Club...starstruck amidst down-to-earth indierockers and such. ah what a silly boy. anyway...months later i saw a B&S bootleg cd that had one of my pics that i took on the sleve. naturally i picked it up. after researching a bit, i figured out it was a recording from the groups bbc radio 1 evening session appearence, recorded in summer of '97 and eventually aired that fall a month prior to my seeing them. it's not the best recording in the world, but i thought i'd share a pair of tracks from it for everyone else who is a fan. the session actually includes an early version of "wrong love," but it has lots of interview attached to it, so i opted for two other familiar songs.

Army won't participate in balanced public forum on DU
Follow up Press release
for more information contact Jim Albertini 966-7622
FYI Army declines invitation to balance public forum on DU in Keaau On Aug. 30, 2010. The Army will go forward with its one sided, by invitation only, presentation on Aug. 31st at Pohakuloa. That event will be protested. See below.
DEPLETED URANIUM FORUM
Human Health Risk Assessment of Military Training at Pohakuloa
Time- 7-9PM
Date: Monday, Aug. 30th
Place: Keaau Community Center
Army representatives have been invited to make a 30 minute presentation followed by a 30 minute presentation from community representatives.
(The Aug. 30th DU forum will go on whether or not the Army accepts Malu 'Aina's invitation to participate. The Army promised transparency. We're still waiting.)
Public testimony and Q & A will follow.
Free Admission! The public is invited!
Background: The Army admits to using Depleted Uranium (DU) at Schofield Barracks on Oahu and the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in the center of Hawaii Island. How many radioactive rounds have been fired is not clear. Hundreds at a minimum, perhaps thousands.
Although the Army has previously denied any adverse health effects related to DU, the Army now says that "Depleted Uranium particles can be ingested from the soil or inhaled by airborne dust that may cause adverse health effects."

Pohakuloa Protest
Date: Tuesday, Aug. 31st
Place: Pohakuloa Training Area Main Gate on Saddle Road
(car pools will leave Hilo promptly at 12 noon from the Bay Front parking lot closest to Hamakua side of Pauahi St./Kamehameha Ave. intersection)
Reason for the protest: the Army has scheduled a presentation on its Depleted Uranium Health Risk Assessment to be held Tuesday, Aug. 31st at 2PM at Pohakuloa.
We object that this presentation is: 1. "By invitation only;" 2. Not balanced with community representatives being given equal time; and 3. Held at PTA instead of in the community (preferably forums in Hilo, Kona, Waimea and Na'alehu). The winds, dust devils, and vehicles that travel through Pohakuloa travel around this island. Everyone on this island is potentially at risk from military radiation contamination at Pohakuloa.
We appeal to Army officials to come out of your bunker, your "Green Zone" on Hawaii Island, and meet and treat the people of this island with respect. Democracy is not by invitation only. Furthermore, it is we civilians who are paying for the military budget, including your salaries.

Hawai'i Independence!
50TH OR FAKE STATE?
Aug. 21st marks the 51st anniversary of Hawai'i allegedly becoming the 50th State of the U.S. The long history of misinformation goes like this: in 1898 Hawai'i was annexed to the U.S. thus making Hawai'i a territory. In 1959 Hawai'i, after first becoming a territory of the U.S., then became a state.
That history is a fraud. International law says annexation to be legal must be by mutual agreement. Annexation of Hawai'i was not mutual and therefore not legal. In truth, Hawai'i has been under U.S. occupation since 1898.
There are those that say Hawai'i statehood was voted by a 9 to 1 majority. The fact is the 1959 statehood vote was built on more than 6 decades of illegal U.S. occupation, misinformation, and a vast in migration of a U.S. settler population. If the so-called annexation of Hawai'i was illegal in 1898, it doesn't matter if the vote was 99-1 for statehood in 1959. Stolen property is still stolen property. Dr. Keanu Sai writes, "The challenge for …the fields of political science, history, and law is to distinguish between the rule of law and the politics of power. In the history of Hawai'i, the might of the U.S. does not make it right." Nor does time erase the wrong.
Just because a vast majority of U.S.citizens initially supported the illegal U.S. wars and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, it didn't make the illegal wars and occupations any less illegal. Actually similar impulses lead to the occupation of Hawai'i, Afghanistan and Iraq. In Hawai'i's case the business interest was sugar . In Iraq and Afghanistan, it's oil and pipelines. Expanding empire and military global positioning are also contributing factors to the ongoing occupations.
If we want genuine peace, we need to work for justice. Justice and peace in Hawai'i means supporting….
Hawai'i Independence from U.S. Occupation!
As further symptoms of U.S. military occupation, within the next two weeks there are scoping meetings about Marine and Navy expanded operations and an Army closed door meeting about depleted uranium radiation contamination in Hawai'i. For details see www.malu-aina.org

Mark Your Calendar! See dates below.
Please email or call government officials and candidates and urge action. Mahalo. Jim
Dear government officials and candidates,
Please help citizen voices be heard! Please urge that public speaking be allowed on the following actions, by contacting military officials beforehand, and/or by attending relevant events in person:
1. MARINE AIRCRAFT SQUADRONS bringing about 1000 active duty personnel,1000 dependents,
40 aircraft, and extensive construction.
2. NAVY SONAR, EXPLOSIVES, GUNNERY, AND SHIP-SINKING near Hawai'i and California.
3. ARMY DEPLETED URANIUM (DU) Human Health Risk Assessment.
No public speaking will apparently be allowed at these events, despite the tremendous amount of land, ocean, and airspace put to military use in Hawai'i, the severity of impacts to our environment and to native Hawaiian culture, and the plans for continued military expansion. It is important that the community be given an opportunity to speak and hear the concerns expressed by the community. To deny that public hearing is to disempower the community.
Details follow. Mahalo for your consideration.

(Graphic & Photo of Bradley Manning)
On July 6, 2010, Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the United States Army in Baghdad, was charged with disclosing this video (see http://collateralmurder.com/). The whistleblower behind the Vietnam era's Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a hero. "I admire the courage of Bradley Manning for sacrificing himself to make the public aware of the futility of the war…" says Ellsberg. Manning is currently imprisoned in the brig at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia.
Manning faces 52 years in prison for exposing war crimes.
James M. Branum, an attorney that works with Oklahoma Center for Conscience (OCC) on military law cases, calls the Pentagon's treatment of Manning "extreme" and designed to set up the case "as an example of the punishment waiting for others who would consider exposing violations of military regs and international law." "We are saying that exposing war crimes is not a crime," he said. Writing a letter to Bradley is one step in attempting to break his isolation. Mail to: Inmate Bradley Manning: TFCF, APO AE 09366; USA
We need whistleblowers who will expose the full truth about illegal depleted uranium (DU) radiation used by the military in Hawai'i.

At a peruser's demand, I'm sharing my tips on the most proficient method to settle scratches on wood furniture. By "settle" I mean without sanding, without scratching, and without utilizing those horrendous noticing compound stripping arrangements.
As somebody who loathes the way toward sanding and recoloring or painting furniture, I invested years supposing I'd simply need to live with beat up furniture because of my unruly children and pets. I like a "decrepit chic" thing or two in my home, yet when my most youthful was four the greater part of our furniture had a bothered look, thus did our financial balance.
Since purchasing new furniture was impossible, and I had neither the time nor vitality to revamp everything myself, I began looking into how to settle scratches in wood furniture effectively, rapidly, and cheaply. Today I will impart to you what I've realized and have been utilizing to keep my furniture looking awesome.
Is it accurate to say that you are Sure It's Scratched?
I know this sounds insane, however I've discovered that multiple occassions what resembles scratches on wood are scratches in the wax development. That was the situation with an old dresser I purchased at a neighborhood classical store: the past proprietors had perseveringly waxed and buffed it once a year to keep it fit as a fiddle, and the store had utilized a business furniture splash to spiff it up before deal. I indicated the scratch out inspire them to thump 25% off the value, at that point returned home and expelled those layers to uncover impeccably smooth wood underneath.
On the off chance that you speculate this may be the situation, or in case you're managing development notwithstanding scratches, make sure you expel the wax development from your furniture before attempting to settle the scratch.
Light scratches are those you can see with your eye be that as it may, when you run a finger crosswise over it, don't feel. These simply require a little corrective settling which is, luckily, simple to do. For some sorts of wood, rubbing the meat of a nut (walnut, pecan, and so on.) along the scratch will fill in as the oil from the nut obscures the wood and influences the scratch to vanish.
Different alternatives to attempt: espresso beans for dim wood, iodine for mahogany, and chimney cinder blended with a little water for dark completed wood.
On the off chance that you can feel the scratch when you run your finger over it, you'll require something that the two hues and fills. Odds are you've just got the correct device in your kid's Crayon box: simply locate a shading that matches your furniture and rub it well into the scratch. Expel any abundance Crayon with the edge of a Mastercard and clean your furniture to give it a polished sparkle.
Or maybe not utilize a Crayon? There are blendable scratch repair sticks that do the trap, as well, despite the fact that they're minimal more than costly Crayons.
1. Wet and ring out a thick white towel.
2. Place it over the gouge.
3. Run a hot iron constantly finished the mark for 30 seconds, move the fabric to another soggy spot, and rehash.
4. On the off chance that the scratch remains, hold up 24 hours at that point rehash.
The first occasion when I did this, it didn't work, yet before I went to the handyman shop I chose to give it another attempt. The second one did it, and the main reason I can think why it worked is that holding up overnight let the wood grain slacken and grow. In the event that this technique doesn't work for you then you'll need to get a container of wood filler and take after the maker's headings.


Hexion, a world-leading specialist chemical company, has a long tradition of innovation, expertise and customised services. It developed one of the world's first plastics, Bakelite®, and the very first epoxy resins. With more than 4,300 employees at 60 locations globally, Hexion produces special chemicals and high-performance materials with its know-how and experience. Group headquarters is in Columbus, Ohio.
As a builder and operator of industrial plant systems that manages the production of approximately 400 items, Duisburg (Germany)-based Hexion GmbH began using Engineering Base (EB) in 2016 as part of its I&C planning. One main reason for this choice was EB's data centralisation. "We wanted to invest in the future rather than in a tried and tested legacy system. EB is increasingly our Single Source of Truth for all 'as-built' data. We see this as the only path to follow", explains Christian Marschner, Senior Project Engineer at Hexion.
As EB keeps all projects in a central database, the matching of items, which previously occurred repeatedly in various projects, can now be done in a moment. Centralisation reduces errors and consultation costs, while keeping everyone permanently updated. "This saves a lot of time", says Mr Marschner.
Furthermore, EB convinced by its relatively straightforward deployment, its flexible management of user rights and the smooth integration of supplier data. "The ability to link externally generated data with equipment or functions is very useful, particularly when time is tight. EB tells you immediately, also via web service, what you need to know about an item", reports Nils Stellmacher, a key user of the application.
EB's worksheets are another plus-point for him. "They allow us to implement even quite complex requests." Examples include the expansion of the establishment plan using Ex-I-Typicals, where adjustments to the worksheet are also displayed directly as graphs and in Explorer. These lists are ideal for quickly resolving inconsistencies or errors and for providing efficient support for data migration.

CLC: H36
University majoring in Japanese students after graduation, a lot of people play the Japanese translation of the Japanese-funded enterprises. Japanese-funded enterprises, translation as a bridge of communication, plays an important role can not be ignored. Frequent friction due to the different cultural backgrounds of things Japanese-funded enterprises, and even speak Japanese translation is also often feel difficult to staff exchanges with the Japanese side, which is already an indisputable fact. On the basis of the detailed investigation of the first study of the translation and cross-cultural communication, focused its investigation on which the process of translation and the Japanese staff exchanges, on-site Japanese translation am not suited to the content, the purpose was to ascertain the Japanese translation exists in what ways difficult to overcome communication difficulties. Graduated from the University majoring in Japanese, the object as a Japanese translation work in Japanese-funded enterprises, from the five aspects of cross-cultural communication, speech acts, non-verbal behavior and values, the company operating and living habits of various aspects of the questionnaire and the interview survey. Analysis of data collected using qualitative and quantitative study of two practices. Found that Japanese translation is not suited primarily felt in the following aspects: 1) vague expression, rejected expression 2) self-advocates, internal and external awareness, sense of responsibility, Group '3) information sharing (reporting? Contact? Discuss) work ethic 4) eating habits, hygiene conditions, and so on. In addition, the most difficult to overcome difficulties through the interview process and the main problems found, as a translator, it is very important to understand the the corresponding cultural background knowledge and knowledge of a professional in the field of business. Finally, the face of a variety suited to the phenomenon, the Japanese translation had to continue to improve their qualities and abilities. As a Japanese-funded enterprises, it is necessary to focus on cultivating the skills of the Japanese translation, Japanese employees and employees need to learn from each other and each other's cultures. University should be taken to provide students with the opportunity to translate the scene in the Japanese-funded enterprises practice, or the conscious creation of courses on the Japanese-funded enterprises work. This paper analyzes the Japanese translation is difficult to adapt to the problems on Japanese education on how to improve this part of the students' intercultural communicative competence, what guidance should take some reference. At the same time, the cultural differences between China and Japan prompted this article, perhaps Japanese employees and employees a better understanding of each other's culture reference, to further promote communication and exchange within the Japanese-funded enterprises.

Contest Holder: Client59546 confirmed successful completion of this project.
I drew a picture of what I'd like it to somewhat look like but I'm not picky. The two trees don't have to be anything special I just want reddish bark on the one and purple flowers on the other.All of the animals I would like to be just black shadows. Everything else I'd like colorful and islandy. No palm trees or anything else needs to be added.
Client59546 picked a winner from 19 designs by 4 designers.
I was wondering if I could still make a couple design revisions ?
Looks great. I like how the pelican is smaller. It was definitely too big before but now I think it's just a little bit too small. Is there a way you could make it a little bigger but not as big as before ?
After you make one with the pelican that's a teeny bit bigger but not as big as before i'll pick one of yours as a winner. Thank you it looks amazing really !!!!
It looks amazing. The grass looks so much better that way everything is perfect. Just two more things I did change if you don't mind sorry. can the pelican be a bit smaller and is there a way you could make the bark on the tree to the right of the mermaid have dark red bark? Maybe you did make it red already but I can't see it from my phone.
This is near perfect !!!! Love it! I'm thinking it will look better without the tall grasses and with the regular size grass going all the way from side to side. thank you! can you also make the tree bark on the big tree with green leaves a dark red color. We have these trees native down here that have red bark. Trying to symbolize that tree. Also I'm thinking we should just remove the hermit crab to make it look less crowded. And lastly since the hermit crab will be gone maybe we could make the pig a teeny bit bigger? So sorry if I'm being difficult. These i believe will be the last changes. I def plan on purchasing your design!
This is my favorite one! Love everything about it except a few things. Sorry thank you!! Please Put the cat were the iguana is and Make the iguana smaller and in the grass along with the chicken just like in the logo that you made with the orange lettering around it . Also make the Grass green just like in the logo with the orange lettering as well. After you do that I think the cat might be in the way. You could put the cat where the iguana is now. That's it thank you!
I love the shape of this one.
I love the beach scene on this one. Best!! The iguana I like better in the logo with the orange lettering around it cause it's more visible but small. Is there a way you could make this logo The shape of a number three ( One with the see-through circle around it with black lettering. The trees and mangroves I am like best in number one just maybe less rock. Thank you !
DreamLogoDesign is selected as the contest winner!
I was wondering if I could make one more revision to the design I selected as winter. In the Florida Keys we have key deer. It's a small deer. So I was thinking could I please remove the pig. Add a small key deer where the pig is and since I know it will probably take up a bit more room move the chicken to the other Side.

These Lands We Call Home: Neeraj Kaushal, Zarrar Said, Alia Malek and Prajwal Parajuly in conversation with Ruchira Gupta
"What does home mean to you?", Ruchira Gupta, a feminist, writer and academic asked. The question gathered diverse responses from a panel comprising of Zarrar Said, author of the powerful novel Pureland; Neeraj Kaushal, Professor of Social Policy at Columbia University; Prajwal Parajuly, author and independent writer and Alia Malek, journalist and former civil rights lawyer.
Home is mobile for Zarrar Said- it is nostalgia, sorrow and expressions of love; home is a place you can tell stories about effortlessly. "Most of us carry the luggage of our past- storytelling is one way of unfolding it,'' he said.
"Home is where I live,'' Neeraj Kaushal said. She spoke about choosing to migrate to the United States - for many years, home was a figment of her dreams, a memory of a particular bookshelf from her childhood. For Prajwal Parajuly, home could be in the United Kingdom, Nepal or Sikkim; but home is the mountains of Sikkim. For Alia Malek, home is a function of her privilege - given that for the refugees of the world today, who have been exiled due to conflict or natural calamities, home is an unattainable concept. To be able to identify and go back to a permanent, geographical space and call it home, she said, is a privilege.
When does home become unattainable? Where does exile come from? Is it something imposed on an individual from within or from the outside? As the panel explores the answers to these questions, it becomes clear that the world and its people are in a constant state of movement- home has become an increasingly elusive concept. While Zarrar Said expressed that exile from one's homeland could become permanent when one chooses to leave, Alia Malek and Prajwal Parajuly pointed out that often, exile is statelessness, as in the case of the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis and the exile of the Nepalese community from Bhutan.
Change is the only constant- as Ruchira Gupta pointed out, this is easy to accept until things actually begin to change. It is then that one realises that home wasn't just a piece of land. It was nostalgia for the jasmines and narrow alleys in Syria, it was the mountain air in Sikkim and Nepal. It was the memory of the language you spoke to your mother, a language you still dream in. It is the sorrow you feel for a land that refuses to accept you, one that you long to return to. Once upon a time, home was where the heart was- but today, we find increasingly that it is where the heart longs to be.

by Denise Barnes What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape


The first time I made my Italian boyfriend a dish of pasta, he took one mouthful and looked at me. Horrified. Pasta without salt, way up the list of the seven deadly culinary sins as any Italian schoolchild already knows. Rule number one: add salt to the cooking water.
Post-seduction, I learned to cook. And as I live in the area of Milan, Monza and Brianza, I learned to cook some of the dishes from this area. Italian cookery is very region-based – in this case Lombardy – and within these regions each area has its specialities. So if you're living and cooking in Italy, chances are what you put on your plate will speak not just of Italy, but above all of the area in which you live.
I learned to put salt in the cooking water for pasta. I learned that garlic isn't used everywhere. I'd need to go south for that. Most importantly, I learned that recipes don't need a long list of ingredients to be successful. Simple is best, but simple needs quality ingredients, so keep it seasonal. And remember, the ingredients should be the stars of the show, not the condiment.
Twenty years after the salt incident, the Italian boyfriend is now my husband and I'm cooking for a family. I cook a lot of pasta, risotto and cotoletta alla milanese – veal sirloin fried in breadcrumbs – and in winter there's polenta, stews and pizzoccheri.
There are focaccine (little focaccia) for school snacks and various sandwiches stuffed with Parma ham, Tuscan ham (with memories of a camping holiday), salami and prosciutto cotto. There are also Sunday dinners, roast chickens, Yorkshire puddings and cupcakes. Food really is where cultures meet.
Possibly the great favourite in our house is cotoletta alla milanese, also known as orecchio di elefante. Pane e cotoletta – without the bone and in a sandwich – is found in football stadiums, motorway cafés, street food vans and village festivals. It's a fail-safe dish, often on a Friday night in front of the TV.
To make the true cotoletta, you need a veal sirloin cutlet. Coat the cutlet in flour, followed by beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs (homemade please, not out of a packet). Repeat the last two stages if you want a more "crusty" cotoletta. Don't forget to flatten it down to tenderize it beforehand, and make sure it's properly coated. Cook it in butter as this will produce a richer taste than cooking in oil, and if you can get butter from a local farm, even better. Historically, butter has always been used in northern Italy. Even in more wealthy kitchens, cooks used what they found locally, and this was butter or lard. Central Italy and southwards was where you found the olive oil, although oil is produced in milder northern climates such as Liguria or the Lakes.
Nowadays, restaurants often serve cotoletta with a slice of lemon to squeeze over but at one time the butter and juices from cooking were poured over before serving. If you don't wish to use veal, use pork chops, chicken or turkey. But don't call it cotoletta alla milanese. It's simply cotoletta. My mother-in-law does a version where she mixes finely chopped herbs, really what she has available at the time, with the breadcrumbs. Definitely worth trying, and proof that there are no set rules. Every family does it to their own preference and often with what they have to hand on that particular day.
I learned that a risotto is not simply a risotto. And if you're living just north of Milan, then it will be risotto alla milanese or risotto giallo – yellow risotto – as it's often called. It may seem easy enough to make but it's deceptive. Each grain should be separate, the rice slightly al dente. To make a good risotto you need quality rice, just as to make good pasta you need quality pasta. Carnaroli is considered one of the best, as are Vialone Nano, Roma and Baldo.
A good risotto also needs attention. This isn't the time to go and make a phone call. Trust me, I've been there. If this does happen, just add extra broth, throw in some extra Parmesan for good measure and give the kids a spoon. Not very Italian, but the chances are they'll eat it anyway.
Risotto alla milanese should also be cooked in butter. Fry the onion in the butter first and always add a knob of butter at the end of cooking. This is called mantecare, making it creamy, suitable for a dish that's associated with richness, and riches.
A manuscript in the Trivulziana Library in Castello Sforzesco tells how, in 1574, an apprentice of master glassmaker Valerio di Fiandra used to add saffron to his paints to make the colours more vivid while they were working on a window of the cathedral in Milan. It earned him the nickname "Zafferano", saffron. "You'll end up putting saffron in your risotto," Valerio laughed one day. And so "Zafferano" did, when he was cooking the risotto for Valerio's daughter's wedding celebrations. The guests loved it, and before long it was the new fashion throughout the city, not only for its flavour but for its golden colour and associations with wealth. After all, this was the city of Milan.
You really should fry bone marrow with the onion to make it truly authentic, although on a daily basis you might not do this and a lot of recipes don't include the bone marrow either. And while using a stock cube isn't exactly a sin – all Italian home cooks use stock cubes for their risotto at some stage – you'll notice a huge difference if you use fresh meat stock.
Risotto alla milanese traditionally accompanies osso bucco, or oss büs in the Milanese dialect – veal shanks braised with wine and vegetables. Serve both of these together and you've got one of the most traditional and renowned Lombard dishes.
Risotto ai funghi (use fresh autumnal porcini mushrooms if you can) and risotto alla monzese (Monza's risotto) are also very popular in our house. Risotto alla monzese uses luganega sausage meat, browned before you add the rice. My kids recently decided they like the sausage fried up as small sausages and added at the end. It's no longer risotto alla monzese but still delicious. I've also eaten risotto alla milanese with a dense sausage stew on top and it's now another family favourite.
When you make risotto, make extra. Risotto al salto is leftover risotto formed into small balls or cakes, or one big cake, and fried. Or make arancini. The original Sicilian ones contain ragù, but you can use mozzarella, ham, or experiment according to taste. The arancini I remember most were ones I ate at a women's refuge.
They weren't the best arancini I've eaten, but that wasn't the point. They were made by a woman who had left her own kitchen, her old life, and was now learning to reclaim her life on her own terms, and she was also doing that through food, through familiar dishes that were part of her identity.
It was a far cry from the traditional Italian mamma of the stereotypes, yet we all know stereotypes never tell the full story. And while the olive grove and the Italian mamma dishing out pasta under a Tuscan sun may be appealing, there are many other stories that tell an entirely different tale.
Food offers far more than nutrition. The act of eating together, being a tavola – at the table – that is so central to Italian culture, can create harmony, and sometimes that harmony may be very much needed.

If you are a Business owner or a System Administrator and the Internet connection is an important piece of your business, you probably know how difficult it is sometimes to keep a good balance between the real needs and the perfect Internet Connection.
Most of the times the first impulse is to make a connection upgrade and many times, this is the right step. Sometimes however we can improve a lot the Internet usage without upgrading. This article will show you what to do to improve the Internet speed without upgrading.
Determine if the problem is the Internet Connection Bandwidth.
Use an Internet Connection Speed Test and determine if the connection performs at parameters.
Implement policies for the Internet use.
Very often companies don't have a policy for Internet usage and employees abuse it and use it for personal use.
Educate employees about the day to day operations.
Many people don't know what is acceptable to do and not to do on Internet. For Instance listening radio over Internet is a total waste if you don't have huge bandwidth. Internet phones take a lot of bandwidth use whenever possible a regular phone. Video streaming are big bandwidth consumers. Users sometimes download files two or three times just because they don't know where that file goes after the download. Many times they don't even have the right to install or the file is already saved on an internal server. Sending files as attachments is another common mistake, especially if your mail server is hosted outside the company. Users will always prefer to send files via email than via a file server. A 15 Mb file will generate an Outlook message of around 18Mb. This 18 Mb will be uploaded to the email server which is the more painful operation on an asynchronous DSL connection (download is 3M but upload is 800K), and then will be again downloaded. If this email is sent to a few people imagine the connection bottleneck created.
If after all of the previous steps your business is still too slow you can implement a Caching Proxy. A Caching Proxy Server is an extremely useful tool to optimize Internet connection utilization and security. A Caching Proxy Server will cache the most used data and then serve it to its next client from the local copy rather than the Internet. A proxy will increase security in the company by providing an additional layer between the client and the Internet. It will help you enforce policies and control Internet Usage. It is also a great tool to log the Internet activity of your users. The downside of a proxy server is that is not easy to administrate, it needs an IT professional.
Two of the most used Caching Proxies are Squid and Microsoft ISA Server. Both of them are great tools extremely customizable and flexible. ISA Server is a rather expensive product but it has the advantage of a visual administration interface. On the other hand Squid is free software, but it needs command line administration. Another major advantage of Squid is that it doesn't need too much hardware resources, and if configured properly can deliver excellent services.
A good companion for squid is a Content Filter. A content filter is a program that filters the access to Internet based on rules specified by the Administrator, public lists of known offensive websites and heuristic analysis. Two good content filtering programs are DansGuardian and SquidGuard.
As a closing paragraph I would recommend to keep a balance between business and personal use depending of the nature of your business. My experience showed that an extreme restriction would deteriorate the work climate and make your employee unhappy. On the other hand security and control of Internet Access are a very important factor and employees should understand this.

More than 6 million US middle and high schoolers used tobacco products in 2019, report says
Posted 1:30 PM, December 5, 2019, by CNN Wire, Updated at 01:36PM, December 5, 2019

More than 6 million middle and high school students were currently using tobacco products in 2019, according to National Youth Tobacco Survey data released Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The survey found that 1 in 3 high school students and around 1 in 8 middle school students are current tobacco users, meaning they had used the product at least once in the 30 days.
For the sixth year in a row, e-cigarettes were the most commonly used tobacco product among high school and middle school students. More than 55% of students reported using e-cigarettes only. Other tobacco products used by students included cigars, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, hookahs and pipe tobacco.
More than 53% of high school students and more than 23% of middle school students reported ever trying a tobacco product.
"Our Nation's youth are becoming increasingly exposed to nicotine, a drug that is highly addictive and can harm brain development," CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield said in a statement. "Youth use of any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, is unsafe."
Around a third of the students were also using more than two tobacco products. Cigars were the second most-used product, and the one used most in combination with e-cigarettes.
Among youth, symptoms of nicotine dependence increase in those who use a combination of products, compared to those who only use one.
In 2019, more than half of current tobacco product users reported seriously thinking about quitting all tobacco products. Increasing successful quit attempts "could complement prevention efforts to reduce tobacco product use among youths," the report said.The report identified two of the largest factors in young people trying and continuing to use tobacco products — tobacco product advertising and flavored tobacco products.
This year, nearly 9 in 10 of middle and high school students reported exposure to such advertisements from at least one source.
More than half of the students who reported trying e-cigarettes said they did so because they were curious. Witnessing their family or friends try e-cigarettes and interest in flavors were other reasons.
Among current tobacco product users, flavored tobacco use was 72.8% among high schoolers and 59.6% among middle schoolers.
Nearly 30% of the students perceived little to no harm from intermittent use of e-cigarettes, and more than 16% saw little to no harm in using hookahs.
Though current use of flavored tobacco products was slightly higher in males, females were slightly more susceptible to general e-cigarette use, the report found.
Given the increases in youth tobacco use, the report says that "comprehensive, sustained, evidence-based tobacco control strategies, combined with FDA regulation of tobacco products, are important for preventing and reducing youth tobacco product use."
On September 11, President Donald Trump said the US Food and Drug Administration would put out some "very strong recommendations" regarding the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. At the time, US Health and Human Services Secy. Alex Azar said the policy would require e-cigarette companies to take non-tobacco-flavored products off the market, including mint and menthol.
A policy has not yet been announced.
"We are fully committed to preventing children from using harmful tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and will continue to develop policies that will achieve that objective as soon as possible," acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Brett Giroir, HHS assistant secretary for health, said in a statement about the new report.

castles / chateaux for sale périgord - sarlat in france
A 15th & 18th century manor house, with twelve or so hectares
surrounded by woods, in the area around Sarlat
Sarlat-la-Canéda, DORDOGNE aquitaine 24200 FR
This property, in the Black Périgord region, in the midst of undulating countryside, dotted with stretches of woods composed of various species, is set in peaceful, unspoilt surroundings, somewhat removed from the tourist tumult in one of the most appreciated areas of France. The Dordogne valley, with its world renowned prehistoric sites and medieval gems, is but a few kilometres away. Sarlat is no exception; this town has an impressive preserved sector with an exceptional concentration of historic monuments per square metre. A town where it is pleasant to take a stroll in the narrow paved streets, lined with old, history-filled houses, to explore the small markets, to enjoy cultural activities, or to take a gastronomic break and sample all the local specialities. Some two hours from Bordeaux. Périgueux, Brive-la-Gaillarde and Bergerac are just over an hour away. Airports, train stations and motorways make this region particularly easy to reach.
This property is reached via a dirt track, almost 500 m long, which winds its way through dense, protective woods. The distance travelled gives no hint of a house, making it a total surprise. This manor house has been constructed in the midst of a clearing, on a little rocky knoll dominating a verdant valley. On a lower level, the rock houses an underground refuge, in which water rises to the surface and overflows outside following the contours of a brook which further on becomes a stream. A well has been hewn just a short distance away. Wide strips of grasslands interspersed with woods appear to converge towards the building. A pathway crossing another, in the surroundings, is like an invitation to go for a walk. The site constitutes a natural, safe haven. Beyond the perimeter wall, now only partially in existence, is the old place where unwinnowed wheat was stored, covered with lauze stone slabs, no doubt once a dovecote as well as an impressive barn. The latter follows the lie of the land so well that both of its floors are all on a level with the ground. It is covered with interlocking roof tiles. The remains of the old watch-tower on the south-east corner of the wall are a reminder of the defensive character of the premises. A tall gateway provides access to the old courtyard, now covered in grass and forming an esplanade, open on the south side. Backing on to the south facade of the manor house are the walls of an old cowshed. Wide steps hewn in the rock provide access to the upper terracing on the north side as well as to the small, adjoining, stone sheds, with their Roman tile roofs.
Once the stately lair of an aristocratic family promoted to the rank of captain from father to son, this property was then taken over by farmers just after the French Revolution. Neglected and in a sorry state after the Second World War, it was purchased and rescued in the 1960's by a couple of enthusiasts wanting to give it back its 18th century splendour in keeping with its authenticity.
This manor house was constructed directly on the rock in the late 15th century. Its original architecture comprised a rectangular, 3-storey building, topped with a hip, slate roof. A tower, constructed outside of the carcass and housing a spiral stairway, rises some twenty metres in the centre of the east facade. It is topped with a candlesnuffer roof covered with lauze stone slabs. Two roof dormers supported on stone corbelling face opposing, north-south, directions. Defensive openings are spread out over the construction. In the 18th century, the first level was extended to the west by a second, single-storey building, set at right angles and topped with a gable roof covered with flat tiles. This building is surrounded on the south side by two vast terraces, making it possible to peacefully take advantage of the panoramic view. A third, smaller terrace, in the shade of a quince tree on the north side, is hewn out of the rock. The main entrance is on the courtyard level. The residence can, furthermore, be accessed directly from the first level (corridor, dining room-kitchen, bedroom). The forty-five steps of the spiral stairway provide access to all the rooms in the main building, from the storeroom to the attic. The interior bears witness to the fact that the character of these premises has indeed been preserved. Unpretentiously and simply enhanced, the architectural features and the materials used include stone fireplaces, a rammed clay floor, original doors, small-paned windows, wall alcoves, stone sinks, lime rendering and exposed beams. The total surface area spans approx. 200 m² (excluding the attic space). This unheated residence should actually be considered as a summer home which is, nevertheless, extremely comfortable, given the quality of the works carried out. It comprises three large bedrooms (each spanning approx. 30 m²), two of which have separate toilets and one opens on to the upper terrace, a shower room, with a laundry room area, a lounge (approx. 25 m²), and, in the extension, a vast kitchen, where meals can be taken (approx. 26 m²), which opens on to the two upper terraces. A storeroom has been comfortably laid out on the garden level. Steeped in filtered light, this area is perfectly suited not only to laying down wine but also to tasting it straightaway in a convivial atmosphere.
The impressive barn, just a few metres from the manor house, follows the lie of the land such that its two levels are both on a level with the ground. Topped with interlocking roof tiles, this building spans a total surface area of approx. 186 m². The garden level, with its tiled floor and its lime-rendered walls, was converted for the purpose of exhibiting all kinds of objects. It comprises two rooms (approx. 77 and 13 m²), the biggest featuring a fireplace. It has three entrances, those in the main room being glazed doors. The upstairs attic (approx. 96 m²), where hay was once stored, makes it possible to appreciate the quality of the roofing framework as well as that of the wooden flooring and the exposed stone walls. This area could be converted into additional bedrooms, a self-contained flat or a totally independent place of work.
The old cowshed
Backing on to the south facade of the manor house, the walls of the old cowshed form the contours of what could become an extension, with a total ground surface area of approx. 28 m², if so required.
This manor house is one of those pieces of architectural anthology that make France so attractive. Over the centuries, its defensive system has been lowered to let it appear in all of its glory. Furthermore, the trees in the surrounding woods are good protective aids. The round stairway tower, with its candlesnuffer roof, stands as it should a head above the residence. Restoration works carried out inside by a couple of enthusiasts did not trifle with the character and authenticity of these premises. Additional areas can still be created in the outbuildings and a small neighbouring property is equally available for purchase. This is just one of the pages in the picture book formed by the Black Périgord region.
