Home Lifestyle Coins of the Realm Auction conducted with open doors
Auction conducted with open doors
By Jan Olav Aamlid (Member IAPN and IBNS LM-025)
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many auctions around the world have been conducted behind closed doors. The Bangkok based Eur-Seree auction house had planned their auction, sale #55, for April 4 and 5. The CEO of Eur-Seree, Vitoon Eurtivong, hoped to have his many clients present in the auction room as they are used to. He therefore decided to delay the auction till the authorities gave the permission to do so.

The auction took place on June 20 and 21 at the Novotel Bangkok in their 700 square meters Benjasiri Ballroom.
Temperatures of all attendees were taken and most of the participants were seated at 180 cm long tables allowing two people at each table. Snacks and food were served in individual plates or boxes.
Since the auction catalogue had been sent out several months ago the collectors had plenty of time to study the catalogue. This reflected on the prices and several records were set.
A gold one Baht bullet coin, Pod Duang, sold in 2009 for Baht 300,000 was offered with a starting price of Baht 300,000. This time the coin was sold for Baht 560,000. It seems like the interest for collecting bullet coins is increasing. Bullet coins were used in Thailand for more than 600 years and are an important part of Thai history. The last bullet coins were produced in 1886, except for a few commemorative issues. They could be exchanged for flat coins until 1908.
Gold coins had a huge price jump in the sale. A Government Gold Bond 1,000 Baht 1951 with the weight of 173.879 grams and purity 0.995 had a starting price of Baht 640,000. The coin was sold for Baht 900,000. The gold value is about Baht 300,000 so the buyer is not basing the price of the gold value. The gold bond coins were struck in 50-, 100- and 1000 Baht values to repay gold bond loans launched in 1943/44. Gold bars with the value of 10,000 Baht were also produced. Only one is known to be privately owned, which in 2015 was sold in the Eur-Seree auction for Baht 5,400,000.
A 5000 Baht 1974 gold proof coin struck for the "World Wildlife Preservations Series" sold for a new record of Baht 320,000. The starting price was Baht 240,000. The coin was graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be PF69UC and it is only struck in 623 pieces. A similar graded coin was sold in 2017 for Baht 220,000. The obverse of this popular coin has the portrait of King Bhumibol, Rama IX, and on the reverse is the White Eyed River-Martin. In Thailand, with royal permission, it is named after Princess Sirindhorn. The bird was believed to be extinct, but rediscovered on February 10, 1968 in Nakon Sawan Province.
A world record was set for a gold 6000 Baht struck in 1982 for Queen Sirikit's 50th Birthday. Only 99 pieces were struck. It was graded by Professional Coin Grading Service, PCGS, to be PR69DC. The minimum price was Baht 400,000 and it sold for Baht 860,000.
Another world record was set for a rare gold coin struck in 1983 with the low mintage of 253. The 6000 Baht coin commemorates the "700th Anniversary of the Thai Alphabet." In 2017 it was graded by PCGS as PR69DC and sold for Baht 150,000. This time in a similar grade it sold for three times more, Baht 450,000.
Third part grading has had large influence on the pricing of coins, medals and banknotes. Some like Third Party Grading, others do not like it and find that the grading sometimes is not accurate. From my experience graded coins do sell for higher prices than raw, ungraded material. In this auction several high-grade silver ¼ Baht coins with no date, struck from 1976-1900, were sold. They are part of a popular series from the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V.
In grade MS65 the coin was sold for Baht 15,000, graded in MS63 it was sold for Baht 6,800 and in MS62 it sold for Baht 6,000. Sometimes the owner of a coin is not happy with the grading and takes it out of the slab. The slab is the hard-plastic holder the third-party grading companies insert the coin into after it is graded. The owner again sends the coin in for grading hoping it will be graded higher. This is a gamble, most of the time the coin is graded as before or sometimes lower and one might be lucky to get a higher grade. To have coins graded, the companies charge a fee depending on several circumstances like value.
Many collectors collect banknotes with lucky numbers. In Thailand banknotes with the number 9 are very popular, the reason can be that nine pronounced in Thai "gao" can mean, "moving forward". In China and Japan, the number 8 is very popular, probably because number eight is the symbol of infinity and good fortune in their language.
In the auction was a Fifth Series 100 Baht Banknote with the series number 88888 with the portrait of King Ananda, Rama VIII, to the right. The starting price was Baht 250,000 and the buyer after fascinating bidding ended up paying Baht 800,000 for the banknote, which were printed in Japan for Thailand during WWII. The catalogue price for this banknote in uncirculated condition like the one sold but not a lucky number is Baht 160,000.
A Tenth Series 100 Baht banknote announced in 1968 with the serial number 999999 had a starting price of Baht 50,000, and was sold for Baht 90,000. The Tenth Series was the last banknotes Thomas de la Rue & Company Limited London officially produced for Thailand. 493 million of these beautiful designed banknotes were printed for circulation. To the right is the portrait King Bhumibol, Rama IX. In nice condition these banknotes are sold for about Baht 2,000 without the lucky number or the specimen notes.
A silver coin dated 1987 struck for the 25th Anniversary of the World Wildlife Fund should have the face value of 200 Baht. In the auction there was one error or pattern coin showing the face value of 2500 Baht. The regular coin minted in 22,500 pieces sells for about Baht 5,000 but the error or pattern sold for Baht 600,000. Another of this error or pattern 2500 Baht coin was sold in 2016 for Baht 300,000.
Vitoon Eurtivong, the CEO of Eur-Seree auctions, was happy with the results of the auction. The total value for Arts, Antiques, Books, Documents, Stamps, Coins, Medals and Banknotes which changed hands during the 2-day event amounted to Baht 63 million. There were 440 bidders, 360 of them were seasoned bidders and out of the 80 new registered bidders, 35 of them bought something. Many were bidding by telephone during the two-day auction sale, more than the double number experienced from previous auctions. Many did not attend in person this time because of the present situation, so there was a huge number of absentees, more than twice the normal number.
It is interesting to notice that with the pandemic and the economic situation in Thailand and worldwide seems to have not affected the collecting markets as expected. This is not only experienced in Thailand, but in several auctions worldwide having taken place behind closed doors.
Vitoon expressed that after talking to several of the bidders the "Stay Home Policy" had given more time for enthusiastic collectors to study their collections and find out what is missing and what to invest further. Some medium and low value items in the latest auction sale were affected by the economic difficulties, but it did not seem to have any effect on high end buyers' hobby. Vitoon also added that the Thai collecting circle looks very healthy right now.
Eur-Seree plans their 56th auction at the Narai Hotel in Bangkok on August 29 and 30, 2020. At this auction Live Bidding will be possible. The complete 55th auction and prices realised can be found on www.eurseree.com

Home News Responding to hygiene and protection needs of flood-affected women and girls

RAUTAHAT – Just minutes after Sunita Sah put her twins to sleep inside her thatched mud-and-straw house, raging floodwaters entered her village. "Run, run," were the shouts the nursing mother heard. "At first, I had no idea what was going on," says the 22-year-old. "My mother-in-law ran into the room from the courtyard and told me to grab both the twins and stand up."
In no time at all, the floodwaters were almost waist high. "More than my own safety, I was worried about my babies," said Sunita. The Sah family didn't want to risk wading through the flooded pathways to take the twins to higher ground. Instead, they put a wooden bedframe on top of another where Sah and her babies stayed until the floodwaters receded at Rajdevi Municipality-4, Rautahat.
While engaging in a frantic effort to save household belongings, most of their clothes, including those of the babies and their mother, were soaked by muddy water. "I had very few spare clothes left," Sah recounts.
Meeting reproductive health, hygiene and safety needs

More than 200,000 people were affected after incessant monsoon rains from 11-13 July resulted in flooding and landslides, particularly in southern, eastern and central Nepal. Almost 10,000 family homes were inundated or isolated by the floodwaters. An initial rapid assessment report, however, is still due. Areas bordering India were particularly hard hit, as the torrential downpour caused mighty rivers and their tributaries to burst their banks.
In Sah's district alone, around 70,000 people were affected by the floods. UNFPA, in response, started working with the government-led mechanism, represented by different state and non-state actors that coordinate disaster preparedness and response at the local level, to provide humanitarian support.
Local authorities said that the lack of security for women and girls in the temporary shelters was a concern. In such situations, the risk of gender based violence is much higher. Ensuring protection mechanisms are in place and reproductive health and hygiene supplies and services are available for women and girls in the aftermath of a natural disaster is a priority for UNFPA, the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency.
"I am happy to have clean clothes," says Manita Devi Paswan, six months pregnant, after sifting through the Dignity Kit bag she received from UNFPA. "Just look at the sari I am wearing now. It is covered with muddy floodwaters." She was not able to change her clothes or bathe for three days. "I feel quite uncomfortable". Her family, among almost 3,000 affected families in Sarlahi, lost their home to the floods.
Thousands reached
In the aftermath of the floods, UNFPA supported the District Disaster Management Committees and local governments to assess the situation on the ground, collect relevant data and identify pregnant women, nursing mothers and adolescent girls among the affected population.
As of 30 August, over 6,500 women and girls have been provided with Dignity Kits, each containing hygiene supplies for two months. A total of 1,400 Dignity Kits were supplied, with the support of the Australian government and UNFPA's Humanitarian Action Fund.

"The reusable sanitary pad I found inside the bag together with other items are a great help to me," says Neha Kumari Sah (15) who came to receive the Dignity Kits with her friends from the affected community.
With UNFPA support, three Women Friendly Spaces were also established in Rautahat, Sarlahi and Mohattari — the most affected districts in Province 2 following requests from the local governments. These spaces offered women and girls a safe place to seek support, receive information and participate in recreational activities.
The reproductive health, hygiene and safety needs of women and girls are often overlooked in the aftermath of a disaster, as authorities rush to meet food and shelter needs. UNFPA is still on the ground supporting the affected women and girls in partnership with other humanitarian actors and building capacities of local authorities for disaster preparedness and response.

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm not in the best shape. Probably in the best shape of my life but that shape is still a little round for my liking. That did not stop me from trying what is billed as one of the best hikes in America when I was out in Zion in November 2017. I did the famous Virgin River Narrows hike. For those of you who have not heard of the Virgin River Narrows hike, you are really missing out. It starts in the Temple of Sinawava at the end of the Zion National Park shuttle bus run. You then have a 1 mile hike over a well worn trail. Then you leave the trail and jump in the Virgin River. And you go upstream until you run out of time or energy. Then you come back down the river and do the 1 mile overland hike again.
This is the type of terrain you will be dealing with. Rocky boulders either covered by river or not depending on the area. Eventually you get to an area called Wall Street where you are in the river with no banks on either side, it is just rocky walls that go straight up for a thousand feet. In November, as you might imagine, the river is darn cold. So after a stop at a local outfitter I was all geared up with a dry suit and canyoneering shoes.
The day of the hike came and I put on my dry suit in my hotel room. Immediately I noticed something didn't seem right. The rubber gaskets on my arms and legs meant to keep the water out were really tight. At that point I figured everything was as it should be and I kept going with my day. By they time I reached the river portion of the hike my hands were starting to swell and ache. I pushed on. I went up the river, very slowly. It was exhausting walking in the water. I pushed and pushed and finally made it to Wall Street, about 1 1/2 hours after I should have because of how slow I was taking it but I was spent. I wanted to push farther up and keep getting pictures but I knew I was in a little bit of trouble. My hands and feet were swollen, I was out of energy, and miles away from the Temple of Sinawava.
So defeated I turned around and trudged back out. I stopped to take pictures along the way so that was a good distraction. But the pain in my hands had become unbearable. My energy level was at zero and each step became hard. If I could have quit and had a ranger carry me out I think I would have, but that wasn't an option of course. It actually got to the point where a few kind hikers on the way up the river asked if I was ok and asked if I needed anything. I must have looked as miserable as I felt. About six hours after I started the trek I made it back to dry land. I stripped off the dry suit and carried it back the last mile to the bus stop.
Did I have fun? Yes. Would I do it again, with the proper fitting dry suit? Yes. Was it one of the worst experiences of my life? Yes. Normally I don't put myself into situations where quitting isn't an option. I like to leave myself outs. That day I had to reach down deep inside of me and use every last ounce of resolve and energy to get out of this hike. Honestly I found out I was stronger then I thought I was. Also, I found out that I was wise enough to turn around before putting myself into too much danger. Had I continued up into Wall Street another hour I do not believe I would have made it back out of that canyon.
So two morals to the story. First, always listen to your body and don't push harder then you can handle. I left photo opportunities on the table when I turned around in Wall Street but I had no choice. Second, try on your dry suit before the morning of your hike. There is such as thing as too tight of a gasket.

From Bethenny Frankel to NeNe Leakes: 'Real Housewives' Who Left and Returned to Their Franchise
By Sarah Hearon

Not all Real Housewives give up their diamonds — or peaches/apples — for good. Bethenny Frankel, NeNe Leakes and Dina Manzo are among the ladies who left their respective franchise only to return years later.
While Bethenny, NeNe and Dina all returned in a full-time role, other women, including Camille Grammer and Danielle Staub, made their second mark on the Real Housewives franchise in a friend role.
Other ladies have opted — or been offered — to make guest appearances on their old shows. Following her season 4 exit, Jill Zarin joined Luann de Lesseps to play tennis during season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York City, which aired in May 2019.
Brandi Glanville, who left RHOBH after season 5 in 2015, made a brief appearance the following season. The controversial Housewife is also set to appear on season 9 of the franchise in 2019.
While Kim Richards, the sister of Kyle Richards, pops in and out of RHOBH, she has yet to return full-time following her season 5 departure. During season 9, the other women ran into the former child star while out to dinner in Beverly Hills. While Kyle embraced her sister onscreen, Lisa Rinna avoided interacting with her former costar.

A Washington Post column entitled "Find a financial advisor who will put your interests first," seems to offer simple advice but how easy is it to really do this?
You may have heard it before—you need to take care of yourself so you can take care of others. In finance, people tell you to pay yourself first and if you're on a plane you're advised to put your own mask first. But for many of us it is not easy to put ourselves before others, even when we know that this is the best way for us to be of use to them. When it comes to financial planning, Washington Post columnist Barry Ritholz advises readers to put themselves first by finding a financial advisor who put them first. Don't just go for someone you've heard is 'the best.' Look for a financial planning professional who is interested in helping you work towards better financial health.

I'm a 30 year old American who grew up an hour outside of New York City where I spent 26 years of my life. My last two years in the USA before I started travelling were in San Francisco, California. I currently work remotely for a US company and spend my weekdays working from Airbnb's or coworking spaces so have a lot of time to spend with pets while housesitting.
I always loved having a dog growing up (a shitzu named Rocki) and have wanted one as an adult - but with a travelling lifestyle find it difficult. Even when I was stationary in the US, I still travelled every other week for work so wasn't able to have a pet. Trusted Housesitters seems like a great way to interact with pets again and help out pet owners who like to travel too!
Tim has watched my 11 year old pit bull Otto a couple of times when I've gone on vacation. He's very personable and responsible which makes for a great dog sitter. He took Otto for walks and was very clean. I never had to worry when he took care of my pup.

Scientists Took Images Of The Brains Of People On LSD. The Results BLEW Their Minds!
Recently, scientists scanned the brains of volunteers who'd taken LSD — and the results were nothing less than amazing.
Instead of taking doses of the drug orally as is ordinarily done, the volunteers agreed to have 75 micrograms of LSD injected. The resulting images, as the Guardian described, "have given researchers an unprecedented insight into the neural basis for effects produced by one of the most powerful drugs ever created."
As a result of the groundbreaking study, researchers were able to map the incredible changes in the brain and better understand the sense of oneness often anecdotally reported by people who take LSD.
Scans revealed the profound changes in the brain when someone hallucinates under the influence of psychedelics — which, as researchers were surprised to discover, don't only occur in the visual cortex. "Under the drug," explained the Guardian, "regions [of the brain] once separated spoke to one another."
Interestingly, the feeling of oneness the volunteer trippers reported — known as "ego dissolution" — was also evidenced in separation in other areas of the brain which are normally connected.
"This is to neuroscience what the Higgs boson was to particle physics," explained David Nutt, senior researcher in the study and professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London. "We didn't know how these profound effects were produced. It was too difficult to do. Scientists were either scared or couldn't be bothered to overcome the enormous hurdles to get this done."
Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, which was first synthesized in 1938, has been vilified by governments due to the insidious war on drugs — making research of its potential therapeutic qualities difficult, if not impossible. To fund this study, Nutt and his colleague, Robin Carhart-Harris, turned to crowdfunding and The Beckley Foundation, which researches various psychoactive substances and seeks to "reform global drug policy."
"We saw many more areas of the brain than normal were contributing to visual processing under LSD, even though volunteers' eyes were closed," Carhart-Harris said. Of that oneness and the loss of individual identity users reported, he explained, "This experience is sometimes framed in a religious or spiritual way, and seems to be associated with improvements in wellbeing after the drug's effects have subsided."
Networks in the brain related to vision, hearing, movement, and attention became more connected than normal while volunteers were tripping, which Carhart-Harris described as a more "unified brain." But the parahippocampus and retrosplenial cortex, in contrast, lost connectivity.
The researchers feel their findings could help reshape drug policy surrounding LSD-related substances for their potential to treat various psychiatric disorders. In particular, Nutt noted LSD's promising ability to break crippling 'thought patterns' associated with addiction and depression.
This study follows several others which have also found enormous therapeutic benefits possible with psychedelics. However, the persistent negative stigma surrounding even cannabis makes changes to drug policy for psychedelics — regardless of how many people could be helped — doubtful at best.

If french fries are perfect finger foods, nothing but burgers are perfect 'all-hands' food. Eating a burger puts a person in a position of power. You have the power. To hold the whole burger in your hand, squeeze it together and take a big powerful bite of it. And of course lick the ketchup that drools out of your mouth onto your chin in little drops. Forking a salad seems so lame right now.
Such a burger makes my free spirit truly happy. But, the wife and mom in me wants a few more points on the health scale when it comes to a burger. More power. More protein. That's what is many times missing in a potato laden veggie burger patty. And how to achieve that? Make it. Simple. I've already blogged about a version of a homemade veggie patty prepared with fresh sprouts and veggies. Check it out here.
This time I'm going all lentil loony on my patty. This is a barley and bean soup mix that I bought from Henry's a little while ago. I use this often to make a whole and hearty soup using my slow cooker. I even have pics- will post that soon. But, this time I was looking for lentils to add to my burgers and thought this would work perfect. The mom and wife in me was finally happy.
Take about 1 1/2 cups of the barley and bean mix and soak for about 4-5 hrs. Then, open cook the beans in boiling water until they turn soft. They will turn soft in about 10 mins. Some of the big beans might still be a little bite able crunchy like that of roasted peanuts. But, they taste great and provide a nice bite to the burger.
While that is boiling, chop up all of your favorite veggies to go inside the patty. I added all the veggies here except broccoli and mushrooms inside the patty. These two went on top - you'll see.
Once the beans is cooked, strain away all the water. You can use that water to cook rice or use in anything else that you would normally add water to. I'm sure it has the vitamins in there.
Also, boil a couple of medium sized potatoes and mash them. Add the cooked beans and potatoes to a big mixing bowl.
Add the rest of the veggies. I added shredded carrots, finely cut green beans, chopped onions and corn kernels.
Mix everything well. Add a little bread crumbs to absorb the remaining moisture and form a cohesive ball.
Now comes the burger making part. Take small balls of the patty, roll them in your hands and flatten them to make little burgers. Keep about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs ready on the side for dipping.
Use a wide shallow pan and fill enough oil just to cover the bottom. You can always deep fry the burgers. This I feel is slightly healthier than that. But, again, baking these would be the healthiest option to do. But I did not do that - don't judge me though. I had no time really to bake for about 25-30 mins. My 2 customers had already asked me if dinner was ready like 5 times!
Shallow fry each side of the patty for about 3-4 mins. The advantage of using a pan like this one is that you can move the patty to the side walls and that heat also helps to cook the sides without much oil.
These are almost done. Golden and perfect.
Drain all the excess oil on a rack.
Now, comes the fun part. Assembly.
There are so many ways you can assemble this burger for your family. I add a thin layer of mayo on the buns and then place a piece of the patty and then top with whatever the heart desires.
It could be a traditional tomato-lettuce-carrot strips burger.
Or just a hearty double cheese double patty doused on the top with ketchup!
Or an indianized version made with green mint chutney and tomatoes and carrots.
In all this excitement, I totally forgot to make one of my favorite versions with avocados. But, thankfully had leftovers and made some for lunch the next day.
So, who said burgers have to be eaten one way? And when you make burgers for dinner, just mix it up so everyone gets to taste something new in each burger.
My family was totally ready to pounce on this but wait we all want to try multiple things. How do we do that?
Perfect. I have 30 secs left to take a picture of this.
Since this qualifies and I also just saw this 'My Legume Love Affair 32' event on Sandhya's Kitchen, I'm going to send this across to her and also to Susan's event page. Hope you gals like it!
Love it! Absolutely scrumptious burgers!!
Very nice post Anu. Love the different version of burgers.
OMG that looks scrumptious... I am seriously drooling seeing all the burgers.. I always do soup with that whole all lentils and beans. For burger i either use bean or channa for pattie.. this sounds very very interesting anu.. Its really really awesome.. before going to bed badly craving for this Anu.. Hope kutty enjoyed as well.
Wouldlove to grab a bite from each one! Love the fillings in the tikia for the burger.
drooling over your burgers...what variety and so healthy. Yummmy!!
amazing!! you sure do know how to add zing to veggies....simply superb!!
Seriously am hungry now, soooo healthy and damn cute looking burgers..
Aah.. Lovely and drool worthy!
I love how you are playing around with different combos here. A platter of those burgers would be perfect for my dinner tonight, thank you.
But seriously, you think there is a way I could sue you for doing this to me so often?
I want to try this and was wondering if you can help me with the ingredients.
Can you please tell me what all beans you have in there and the proportion of Barley to beans ?
This was a premixed soup mix that I picked up from a store called Henry's. I'm not sure of the proportion. But if you are mixing ingredients, probably equal ratio of all ingredients would be a good mix.
Thanks for trying this - let me know how you like it!
Thanks a lot Anu for the reply.
Yes I am going to try to it soon and I will keep you posted.
best ever post of urs. I have bookmarked it and read it over n ver just to see the awe of how good u ve presented them :) Cheers.. gonna make this today!!


I escaped for a visit to the indoor range on my lunch break today. As I walked up to the door at the range, the proprietor was outside enjoying a smoke, he nodded and simply said, "Lane 14." I headed inside and started shooting without a delay.
Doing my room scan, I saw one couple a few lanes over that seemed to be doing more talking than shooting. Interestingly a couple other folks came in after I started, but I heard very little shooting from them either.
Like the last couple visits, I started out shooting while gripping a flashlight. I've been trying out a few different grip methods during the past couple of range visits, and I think I have a preference now. I've held the flashlight while shooting in a lighted range, and I've done dry fire with the flashlight in a dark basement. It will will be interesting to put them together in an upcoming "in the dark" match.
Some SHO and WHO shooting was next on the agenda. A few magazines later I know I still need to give some attention to developing that skill. The afternoon practice session closed out with some 20 yard slow fire.
I've increased my "standard" indoor session round count from 100 to 150. Now that it's a bit warmer outside, the range is more comfortable inside, so it's easier to stay longer. I'm still constrained by time, but the afternoon in the office is always more pleasant after this short diversion.

Forecast: Our look ahead at an uncertain future
Editor's note: Snips' annual look back and forecast of what's ahead for our industry has never been more difficult to compile. Most experts wanted more time to reflect and number-crunch after the terrorist attacks on America September 11. We present our findings here, along with what we felt was the following timely message from ASHRAE President William Coad.
On September 11, 2001, an almost incomprehensible act of terrorism was perpetrated against the people of the world community. On behalf of the 58,000 members of our great Society, ASHRAE,
I express our sympathy and heartfelt condolences to all of those whose lives have been affected by this tragedy.
"As a society of engineers, it is in our nature to build. To witness purposeful destruction of lives, machines and structures is repulsive to us not only as human beings but doubly so as mankind's builders.
"Ours is an international society and I would like to tell our members in the United States that we have received untold letters of sympathy, concern and encouragement from our fellow members, colleagues and friends throughout the world.
"This tragedy assuredly will bring the world community closer together than ever, to work as a single unit with the objective to rebuild what has been destroyed and to build a world where people of all nations will live in harmony and peace while realizing an ever-improving quality of life…"
Construction outlook a mixed bag
The Commerce Department reported U.S. construction spending fell in August at the fastest pace in more than a year as construction of nonresidential buildings like factories slumped.
The Commerce Department said spending on building fell 1.1% in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $845.5 billion.
August's drop was much steeper than the 0.3% decline forecast by economists in a Reuters poll, and was the largest fall since a 1.3% slump in July 2000.
According to Reuters, "The data were the latest to show that the U.S. economy was slowing even before the attacks of Sept. 11, which shook consumer confidence and led most economists to reduce economic growth forecasts."
The report showed construction of residential buildings held up reasonably well in August, dropping just 0.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of $387.3 billion. But construction of nonresidential buildings fell 3.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of $196.7 billion in August.
While August's report shows some slowing in construction spending, activity remains well above that seen one year ago. Construction spending in August was 5.2% higher than the annual pace seen in August of last year.
A report from the F.W. Dodge Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies agreed that construction was off in some sectors, but was optimistic: "For much of 2001, the construction industry has been one of the better performing sectors of a sluggish economy… However, growing weakness for the economy in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attack is expected to adversely affect construction…"
School construction continued strong, rising 5% by dollar volume in August. "Amusement-related" work including convention centers in Las Vegas ($225 million) and the Atlanta area ($60 million) helped. Health care facilities and churches also showed gains, while public buildings such as courthouses and jails were down drastically.
During the first eight months of 2001, total construction on an adjusted basis was up 2% compared to the prior year, according to the Dodge report. Residential building grew 4% and nonbuilding construction advanced 9%, but nonresidential building was down 5%. Geographically, most of the downturn was in the Northeast (2%) and South Atlantic (1%). The Midwest was unchanged, with increased in the West and South Central.
Nonbuilding construction was boosted by electric power plant construction in New York, California and Washington.
Equipment, wholesaler forecast
An annual survey of members of the Northamerican Heating, Refrigeration and Airconditioning Wholesalers Association (NHRAW) indicated an overall growth rate of 4.5% in 2000. At the end of October, NHRAW executive vice president Don Frendberg said the forecast for 2001 was a 1 to 1.5% growth rate, which he said remained "surprisingly strong" — helped along by new home construction, which was aided in turn by low interest rates. "We are remaining positive but not exceptional for this year," he said.
Combined U.S. factory shipments of 541,623 central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps in August were up 8% from August 2000, according to the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI). Heat pump shipments of 119,418 units jumped 26% above those from August 2000. Combined shipments for the first six months were 7% below those from last year. The year-to-date total of 4,878,425 shipments of unitary air-conditioners and heat pumps was down 7% from January-August 2000.
August 2001 distributor shipments were down 18% from August 2000, with year-to-date shipments down 4%.
A recent survey showed 45% of the members of a metalworking trade association in October predicting a further downward turn in the economy for the remainder of the year. Forty-four percent thought it would stay the same, while only 14% felt the economy would improve during that period. The survey was conducted by The Precision Metalforming Association, Independence, Ohio, representing 1,600 suppliers of equipment, materials and services to the metal working industry. However, 31% of the group's members held the same pessimism for the same period last year.

Tucson Rally, Press Conference Marking 30th Anniversary of Corrections Corporation of America
By Caroline Isaacs
cisaacs@afsc.org
Tucson- A Quaker group that has been advocating against prison privatization in Arizona is organizing a demonstration and press conference for CCA's 30th anniversary. The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and other organizations and churches say that the corporation's track record and practice of profiting from incarceration is nothing to celebrate.
The event will take place on Monday, May 13th from 4:00-5:00pm in front of the DeConcini Federal Courthouse, 405 W. Congress in Downtown Tucson.
Mexico's New Blood Money: Tolls for Migrants
HUMANITARIAN TRAGEDY LIVED BY HUNDREDS OF MIGRANTS on May 1,
IN VERACRUZ
By Lety Gutierrez
TO THE MEXICAN STATE.
TO THE MEXICAN COMMUNITY.
TO THE MEDIA, FOR ITS RELEASE
"We are afraid, very afraid (...) this is why we don't want to file a complaint, we are traumatized by what we saw and experienced in Veracruz; there was gunfire, machetes, people hurled, people running towards the mountain". This was one of the many testimonies collected, among surviving migrants of the criminal attack, suffered last May, on the 1st, in the state of Veracruz.
Those events, perpetrated at kilometer 25 of the highway Barrancas-Cosoleacaque, are just one example of the abuses, extortions, assaults, murders and kidnappings that migrants experience everyday in their transit through Mexican territory. Criminal groups do not skimp on age or sex. All men, women, boys and girls, adolescents and the elderly, suffer the same fate: extortion, charge of fees, assault and violence.
MODUS OPERANDI: The modus operandi is as follows: criminals board the train like any migrant, and while the train is in motion, they draw their guns and begin to charge fees for "land use, dues paying, and tolls", that consist in paying 100, 300 or $1,750 US dollars, or at the last moment, they take away the migrants' belongings. Everyone has to pay, otherwise they start throwing people off the moving train; they use their guns and machetes to intimidate people and make them pay.
These criminal acts are of legal and situational knowledge of operative and high level officials of dependencies such as the States' Public Prosecutors' Offices, the Attorney General's Office (PGR), the Secretary of the Interior (SEGOB), the Federal Police and the National Institute of Migration (INM), and the Army. Criminal networks, with the consent of the authorities, have found in migrants a slave population to commit any crime, without anything happening.
Today, as a country, we are once again increasing the human cost of the HUMANITARIAN TRAGEDY (as it has been called by the IACHR Rapporteur for the Rights of Migrants, Felipe González, who after visiting and listening in situ to kidnapped migrants, to mothers and fathers that continued to pay the ransom for their kidnapped sons/daughters, to raped women. No other term could be used to describe the serious violations and violence that we exercise as a country, against this highly vulnerable population.
For his part, the Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions of the United Nations Organization (UN), Christof Heyns, referring to attacks against migrants, insisted on the development of genetic databases, to be shared with Central American countries for the identification of missing migrants; as well as the protection of vulnerable groups such as migrants, children, women, journalists and human rights defenders.
Given all the above, the undersigned organizations DEMAND:
1. A follow-up -to its final consequences- of such a serious crime against our migrant brothers and sisters.
2. The comprehensive care of victims in Mexico and in their countries of origin, including damage recovery.
3. That the PGR, PGJ, PF, INM, SCT, NAVY, ARMY, fuse all the information and complaints they get.
a. The PGJ, PF, PGR-UEITMIO-SEIDO have received complaints since 2012 about crime gangs operating in Tenosique, Palenque, Medias Aguas, Coatzacoalcos, Tierra Blanca, Orizaba, Cordoba, Apizaco,
Lechería, Huehuetoca, Irapuato, Celaya and Piedras Negras.
b. THE NAVY, who cordoned off and collected all the evidence at the time of the incident in
Cosoleacaque, should deliver the information to allow a real investigation.
c. THE ARMY, which made a subsequent retention in the area of Coatzacoalcos and recollected testimonials of migrants.
d. THE INM, whose BETA groups have migrants testimonials, names and nicknames of delinquents who are committing the crimes described above. It also had in its hands the migrant victims of May 1. The question is: what will it do with the information given? We want it to provide all the information to the appropriate authorities of the administration of justice.
e. THE SCT, the Ministry of Communications and Transport, that monitors through satellite the train route coming from the south, should provide videos and all the information contained in its files of what
happened at this event, so we can reach a real application of justice.
f. THE CNDH, to make a statement on the matter and to exert its function as an independent body and guarantor of human rights
g. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS like Veracruz to accept the serious problems they have, which are not being addressed.

SPY vs. SPY
MNN. May 6, 2013. Prime Minister Harper just announced at the G20 meeting he is personally dismantling the non-"sovereignty" of Canada, to be governed by a new world order. Canadian Security and Intelligence Service CSIS revealed that foreign governments have taken control of Canadian politicians and bureaucrats, Harper may be one of them. These spies receive money, guidance and their orders from their handlers, the banker shareholders that own the corporation of Canada. Their fake by-laws make it necessary to always spy on each other. They bribe, lie, poison, seduce, assassinate and make secret deals with each other. It's spy vs. spy.

As we wrap up days 15, 16, and 17, we hope that you got some great ideas on how to use video in your online or blended instruction. Please remember that if you have more questions about how to use video with students or create videos, you can post your questions in the community forum found here.
As we look towards days 18, 19, and 20 we will be focusing on "Setting Students up for Success". As facilitators or online or blended learning there are lots of things that we can do to help students be successful and the best news is that most of these supports are fairly simple/easy to do.
ScenarioMrs. Roberts blended her math course during first semester, however she has hit a few bumps with students. In her face to face classes is able to naturally develop a sense of classroom community with her students. This community leads to a connectivity among and between her and her students that sets them up for success. Unfortunately, in her online course she just doesn't feel as if that same level of community has been established.
This has led to all sorts of issues. Several students have missed important deadlines. While others have failed to respond to questions or make changes to work after receiving feedback.
Frustrated she has posted in the OLLIE forum here. She is hoping that the community members will have some ideas about to help her build community among and between her students and set them up to be successful online learners.
We want to hear about some the the challenges you and your students face when learning online or in a blended environment? Complete the survey here. Survey results will be shared later this week.
Join in the discussion here and help Mrs. Roberts out. Share your ideas on how to build community in an online/blended course and ultimately set students up for success.

STOCKPILING FOR BREXIT
From Camembert to Kinder, How the UK Are Preparing Their Food Supplies
Written by David J Constable
As Britain prepares for a No-Deal E.U. Exit, fears of food shortages have people concerned over the imported foods that have, for many years, been part and parcel of British culinary life. As the possibility of a no-deal Brexit increased after a proposed deal by Minister Theresa May was rejected by the U.K. parliament, many are making preparations by stocking up on necessities imported from the E.U. After all, what is Great Britain without Nutella, Magnum ice creams and macaroni cheese?
A frustrated country has become a panicked one. Can the U.K. import, will they import, will other E.U. countries even allow them to import? This has created food anxiety at home. My goodness, where will all of the Camembert, chicken Kievs and boxes of Ferrero Rocher come from? Will Britain ever see a Kinder Egg again?
Many are taking action, bulk-buying and stockpiling, filling fridges, freezers and basements with essentials and their favourite go-to snack. And, while I haven't taken hoarding foods (yet), I fear for my balsamic vinegar and Piedmont wines. The gravity of the situation is becoming very apparent.
Currently, the import versus export position of the U.K. is very unbalanced. To put this into perspective, in 2015, the country imported £38.5 billion of food and drink, but only exported £18 billion worth of food. Things are already difficult, and the uncertainty of the future is quite rightly confusing. If indeed, a deal can be agreed and foods allowed to continue their importation, it will, very likely, be at a higher cost to the U.K. public. The likes of Nescafe (14%), Marmite (12%) and Mr Kipling Cakes (5%) have already seen a price increase within the last 12 months.
Last month, Unilever — the British-Dutch transnational consumer goods company — admitted to stockpiling Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Magnum bars ahead of the UK's departure from the European Union. The firm's Leeds factory, which makes Sure, Lynx and Dove, supplies the whole of Europe, while its ice creams are produced on the continent.
The political uncertainty has been reflected in the increasing sales of "Brexit Boxes" – a care package, worth €330, containing dozens of tins of macaroni cheese, pasta bolognese, chicken tikka, sweet and sour chicken, and beef and potato stew, as well as a water filter and a fire starter. The boxes are being sold by James Blake who set up the company Emergency Food Storage U.K. in 2009 with the aim of "making emergency preparedness as simple as possible". Blake began selling the "Brexit Boxes" in December and is now selling around 25 a day.
Emergency Food Pack
Staffing issues have already been affected with many E.U. nationalities worried about their status and leaving industry jobs — kitchens, cooks, the front of house — to return home. As for the ingredients itself, a positive spin could be a more inherit approach to sourcing and cooking, with chefs forced to be more creative with the application of U.K. only produce. A good thing, surely. No more watered-down Danish bacon. Goodbye to Polish mushrooms. See ya later squishy Spanish tomatoes!
All of this begs the question: what will happen to the famed English Breakfast, a meal of incomparable gut-busting perfection, and often assembled via a list of imported E.U. ingredients. It is adaptable, catering to all tastes; the great interchangeable meal with an abundance of choice, the Marilyn Monroe of breakfast — as potent for a hangover as a litre of Alka-Seltzer.
For eggs and toast, the U.K. will be fine. The British egg industry can produce enough for the country to be entirely self-sufficient in eggs. For bread, 85% of the wheat used by U.K. flour millers is homegrown. The flour produced is also from the U.K. with only 2% exported. As for sausages, bacon, tomatoes the news may not be so good. British farmers currently produce only 40% of the pork eaten in the U.K. The other 60% comes from E.U. countries such as Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Baked beans are mostly US imports, but tomatoes grow mostly where it is hot, immediately cancelling out the U.K. — although glasshouses are used.
With the great English Breakfast seemingly under threat and Magnum ice creams about to vanish, the full effect of Brexit is put into a new light. It doesn't bear thinking about.

Education as a system is at its cross roads with its own set of challenges and opportunities. Recognized as a civil right in many countries, it is indeed a prime factor that shapes the future generations. Education in its right aspects offers a level playing field for each and every section of the society to prosper, excel and to make the world their own.
It is also one of the fields where competition became so fierce that people in this sector wake up each morning thinking what they can do today innovatively to stay ahead of their competitors. Mounting student debts, technology disruption, increasing costs and global competition literally makes it a Waterloo of modern day CIOs engaged in the sector. They have only two ways before them. Either adapt or perish. Modern day CIOs are not just worried about the curriculum, but the evolving business models to ensure profitability.
The role of a CIO is evolving and the success mantra here is how wisely one allocates the resources available. Globalization of education is indeed a challenge. But it can be effectively tackled by the implementation of student specific education model. The point is how effectively one facilitates quality research, how one recruit and retains the best faculty and how wisely the cost reduction can happen. The role of CIOs just as a facilitator won't do the magic in changed circumstances. They must be visionaries looking into the future and making decisions understanding the fine nuances of education as well as management.
Focus on software and hardware gives way to strategic planning and out of box thinking. Technological advances like mobile computing creates a new channel for institutions to engage with students and faculty. Opportunities in the likes of cloud campus allows a CIO to reinvent their enterprise architectures.

The Krewmen (, ) — британская группа, играющая в стиле сайкобилли.

История
Группа была основана гитаристом Тони МакМилланом в Великобритании в 1982 году и изначально была названа «The Starlites». Музыканты играли в стиле рокабилли, а, кроме Тони МакМиллана, другими участниками являлись Джейсон Торнтон (контрабас) и Пол Башнелл (барабаны). В период с 1982 по 1984 год группа играла в различных небольших клубах Великобритании. В 1984 году группа была выбрана для участия в мюзикле, посвящённому Элвису Пресли, в результате чего был дан первый тур в США, Канаде и Великобритании, продолжавшийся почти год. Тогда же Тони переименовал группу в «Krewmen», что означало «бригада» с изменённой первой буквой. После окончания тура группе стали поступать предложения от различных звукозаписывающих лэйблов, однако к тому времени из группы ушли Пол Башенелл и Ян Бакли, сменивший ранее Джейсона Торнтона. Тони взял в руки контрабас, а в группе появились гитарист и вокалист Карл Лиленд и барабанщик Джимми Фэй. Группа подписала контракт с «Lost Moment Records», а звучание изменилось в сторону блюза-рокабилли. Так был записан первый альбом с кавер-версиями блюзовых песен «Klassic Tracks from 1985!» Альбом имел большой успех, однако Тони хотел изменить музыку группы и исполнять свои собственные песни, что привело к очередной смене состава. В конце года в группу возвратился Джейсон Торнтон, также пришёл вокалист Марк Коул и ударник Доминик Парр, а Тони вновь стал гитаристом. Музыка стала более тяжёлой, а стиль сменился на сайкобилли.

В 1986 году выходит первая долгоиграющая пластинка «The Adventures of the Krewmen», а в 1987 – «Sweet Dreams» и «Into the Tomb». Музыканты много гастролируют по Европе, и группа становится одной из самым популярных, играющих в стиле сайкобилли. Однако на волне успеха в конце 1987 года из группы уходит Марк Коул, основавший позже свою собственную группу «Mad Dog Cole», и Тони МакМиллан вновь становится вокалистом, а в 1988 году также уходят Доминик и Джейсон. Тони самостоятельно записывает сингл «My Generation», играя на всех инструментах. В 1988 году в группу приходят барабанщик Стив Пайпер и басист Марк Бурк, и группа возобновляет свою концертную деятельность. Звук становится жёстче, в нём появляются элементы металла, панка и глэм-рока. Группа начинает работу над новым альбомом «Plague of the Dead», однако Марк не является в студию для его записи и вскоре уходит из группы. В итоге все партии контрабаса были записаны самим Тони. После выхода альбома в группу ненадолго приходит басист Грахам Грант, а группа снимает клип на песню «Legend of the Piper». В начале 1989 года Грахам покидает группу, поскольку его уровень игры не устраивал Тони, и на смену ему приходит Пол Оксли. Тогда же на американском лейбле «Skyclad» выходит сборник лучших вещей группы — «Curse of the Graveyard Demon». Группа снимает клип на песню «Plague of the Dead» и отправляется в крупное турне по США. Их песни попадают на радиостанции США и Канады, а журналисты признают «The Krewmen» лучшей сайкобилли-группой. В 1990 году музыканты записывают альбом «Power», а в 1991 – «The Final Adventures of the Krewmen», в котором возвращаются к более классическому звучанию. В 1992 году в группу приходит барабанщик Энтони Галлахер, а Стив Пайпер становится гитаристом. Такой состав становится окончательным, а группа продолжает гастролировать по Европе, США, Канаде и Японии.

В середине 1990-х активность группы заметно снижается, а новые студийные альбомы перестают выходить. В начале 1990-х Тони МакМиллан вновь участвует в мюзикле, посвящённому Элвису Пресли, который продолжался восемнадцать месяцев. В 1997–1998 годах «Lost Moment Records» переиздают первые 3 альбома группы и ранние синглы на CD. В своём интервью 1999 года музыканты анонсировали выход новых альбомов и следующие за ними гастроли, но эти планы так и не были осуществлены, и деятельность группы сошла на нет. В интервью 2003 года МакМиллан сказал, что все участники группы до сих пор являются хорошими друзьями, но живут в разных концах Англии, поэтому собрать всех ради концертной деятельности было бы трудно, тем более, что музыкой из них никто больше не занимается. В 2006 году вышли сборник «The Best of the Krewmen», DVD «Legend of the Krewmen» с записями концертов начала 1990-х, а также были перевыпущены на CD некоторые ранние альбомы. В 2018–2020 годах на виниловых пластинках были переизданы некоторые ранние альбомы, а также выпущена новая пластинка «The Return» с неизданными ранее композициями, записанными около 1996 года.

Состав
Начиная с 1992 года, состав группы являлся неизменным:

'Once Upon A Time' Review 5×18 "Ruby Slippers"
Home » 'Once Upon A Time' Review 5×18 "Ruby Slippers"
Well, color me surprised. And excited.
I didn't have high hopes for this hour. Not because I have anything against Ruby, Mulan or Dorothy in particular, but because after a few episodes of a whole lot of Rumbelle, Zelena and Hades, I kind of wanted to focus on the getting out of the Underworld business again and I didn't think that was in the cards for "Ruby Slippers".
And okay, it wasn't, but all things considered, I didn't even care. It was easy to fall in love with Ruby and Dorothy, painless to root for steadfast and loyal Mulan, and incredibly heartwarming to see the Charmings and immediate family attempt to work together for another reason than to defeat of Hades.
Once Upon A Time is always at its best when it focuses on the characters at its core and the relationships these characters have cultivated, when it sends a message of hope and love conquering all things. This episode did all that and more. And after a few episodes that seemed to have lost the message somewhat, that's not just a great thing, it's a welcome thing.
RUBY SLIPPERS
All along the producers said that the idea behind introducing their first LGBT ship was to have it feel organic, to not make a big deal out of it. And, I have to say, kudos to them. They succeeded. Was there chemistry? Yes. Did it feel like any other couple in the show? Yes and no. (And trust me, this is the right answer) Ruby and Dorothy had their own interaction, and we haven't explored much of it yet, but what I saw was enough to get me intrigued.
Maybe it's because Ruby's fears resonated with me. Maybe because I can totally understand why Dorothy reacted like she did. Or perhaps because everyone, from Mulan to Snow, to the rest of the Charmings, treated Ruby's love for Dorothy like the thing it is: something completely natural and beautiful. Love is love, and if we ever get to a point where we don't have to put qualifiers on it, we'll all the better for it.
Was it quick? Yes, but this is Once Upon A Time. Emma and Killian are basically the only couple that has been given a long courtship, the only one that, in a way, still feels unfinished. Snowing, Rumbelle and Outlaw Queen were all blink and you missed it fast. Does it take away from what happened? No. If they really meant to treat this ship like they've treated all the others, that means we'll get the development after the TLK, not before. This is pretty much the standard in Once Upon A Time. Let's give Ruby and Dorothy the benefit of the doubt.
WICKED HELL
I'm going to go right ahead and say it, Hades is creepy. His way of showing "love" is creepy. In fact, it's possible that he might be even creepier now that he's trying for the romance angle. But, one thing I will say for him is that he doesn't seem to be letting love distract him from creating havoc. No, he seems to have it all under control.
Which is why I want to think that Zelena is playing him in the end. It doesn't look like it, but one can hope, right? It's either that or Hades is playing himself into thinking he loves Zelena, and when he finds out that her "love" can't really get him what he wants, then he will turn on her like he's turned on everyone. And, as fun as that would be, I just want the little creeper to pay more than I want Zelena to. Or, maybe not more, but in a more immediate way?
Hades first, Zelena later, preferably after she's answered for some of the things she's done. So, yes, in this instance, I'm team Wicked Witch. Let's get out of the Underworld once and for all.
THE PATH OF TRUE LOVE
…never did run smooth. Or isn't that what the saying says? It feels like that's what it should say, especially considering what David and Snow have had to endure in the past five seasons. And yet, here we are. Here they are. And they've never been more sure. When Snow says "What you get back when you love someone far outweighs the risks" she's giving Ruby advice, yes, but she's basically summoning up the message of this show, the foundation of her relationship with her husband. And that's why she can bear to let him go, that's why she can accept when he turns the tables on her.
It's not about not wanting to be the one to go, not for David. It's not about sexism, not about thinking Snow isn't strong enough, no. It's about empathy, and love, about putting someone else's needs over your own. David loves his child, and he wants to be with him, but he loves Snow too, loves her so much that he wants to give HER the thing they both missed with Emma. And that's why he chooses to stay behind.
That's also why Snow goes. They love each other, but most importantly, they've always understood each other. A sacrifice like that is a gift, and when you get it, you just take it and do the best you can. That's how love works.
BETTER ASLEEP THAN WITH YOU?
Just when I thought I was all done with Rumbelle, the writers pulled a fast one on me by making Belle go to Zelena. On the surface, the choice seemed like a strange one, but if you look closely, it's easy to see why Belle thought Zelena might help. And I don't just mean because Belle is perpetually naïve and would like to think that everyone can change, although there's that, but because she saw Zelena demonstrate something resembling real feelings for her daughter, and she thought she might be able to capitalize on that.
I'm not quite sure if they joke's on her or Rumple, because Zelena's "solution" is about as bad as her actual evil plans. A sleeping curse? One that she thinks her father is going to wake her from? The same father who was basically willing to trade her to the most convenient suitor? That father? There's having hope, and there's being stupid, Belle, and it's been a while since you've fallen on the right side of that distinction.
Now, of course, this leaves Rumple in the position of having to make a choice, once again. Is he really willing to give up the darkness for his wife and child? Can he finally make the right choice? My money's on no. I think the writers are just masochists, at this point. Maybe they take bets on how many different scenarios they can come up with that will translate in basically the same storyline for Rumple and Belle.
But, if we've learned something about all the other times, is that Rumple might make the right choice, but his good intentions last approximately 3.2 seconds. Don't expect this time to be different. There's a man there, yes, but mostly, there's a beast. And it's about time we all stop pretending this is like the movie, where in the end, beast turns into man. No, this is a metaphorical beast. And those stay the same, no matter how much we want to believe otherwise.
A TINY CAPTAIN SWAN CAVEAT
I couldn't fit this anywhere in my review, but I think it needs to be said: Captain Swan is fine. Even IF they don't get a TLK kiss this season (and I don't think this necessarily rules out the possibility of another one), they're just fine. They're better than fine. They're on a journey. This is not the end. Every other couple on this show has had TLK confirmation. Why not CS, you say? What's wrong with them? Nothing's wrong. You're not asking the right question. What you should be asking is: why not yet? And the answer is simple – because it's not the end. Because they still have adventures to go through, lessons to learn, growing to do.
The writers have held on for this long, and though some people are upset and/or concerned, I'm not. I'm happy. Captain Swan is in no danger of wrapping up their storyline and being relegated to the sidelines, no. They're the main attraction. They're the show. And when you have something as exciting and popular as this relationship is, you know what you do? You milk it for all it's worth. That's what Once Upon A Time is doing.
And we should be enjoying it.
Other things to note:
"I darkened my soul just to save you" is a pretty bad omen for a relationship.
Snow and Ruby's friendship is one of my favorite things in this show.
"Go take care of the rest of our family" is a nice sentiment and all, but I'm still a little baffled at how no one thought of sending Henry with them.
The conversation between Hook and Charming was especially poignant because, well, these two have no one else to be friends with, really. And, honestly, they're way past friendship at this point, they're family, and this is what family does – confides in each other.
"People in love hurt each other all the time" is the most self-aware this show has ever been.

I have a dell computer, my speakers are desktop. They will not work, I have tried new ones and still no sound.
Suddently my Dell A525 Computer Speakers with subwoofer went dead.
It was preceded by a Crackling sound.
- The blue light on the speaker is still there.
- The connections are all O.K.
- The sound settings of my Computer are O.K.
- There is sound with any other replacement sound device !!!!
It looks like this is definitely a hardware problem.
The fact that power reaches the speaker (the indicatror light is on) may narrow the list of posibilities down.
I have same problem with my Dell A525 two speaker system with sub-woofer. Nothing but "hummm" coming out of the sub-woofer. It worked briefly then not at all.
This appears to be a common problem with these speakers judging by the posts all over the net and seems to be that the Dell A525 speakers are defective. (Unfortunately, I bought mine through some wholesaler on eBay who must be reselling all of Dell's returns. I'm out of luck.) Be sure to get Dell to fix/replace before your warranty expires.

first check connections or maybe you have a problem w/ your sound card. try replacing it.
Trying going into the speakers settings on your integrate sound in control panel and see if you can set it to 5.1 instead of the default 7.1.
Also do you have other speaker to try and plug into the card to make sure the card is installed and working?
Your HP computer may need the Drivers from the Dell Speakers to work properly.
Why no sound from my speakers with Dell Dimension 2400, even though it's equipped for sound? Speakers worked fine plugged into Compaq.
Please try other speakers to make sure that it is in fact the computer and not the speaker port itself. If other speakers work, then it is most likely a driver problem. Try to find the drivers for your speakers and install them, restart, and reconnect your speakers. Good luck!
switch on your speaker set in full volume unplug it from computer touch the plug , as you touch you can hear a sound ( loud hum sound) if the speaker is working. If okay then check the right jack, plug it into green color jack. you can try if your computer is okay use a headphone plug it into the jack in PC , if the computer is okay you may hear the sound.
Go to Control Panel >> Sounds and Audio Devices. Click on Advanced button under Speaker Settings and for Speaker Setup select 5.1 surround sound speakers from the options. Click Apply >> Ok and then check.
Go into the device manager and see if the sound card drivers are installed. If not then you'll need to install the drivers for them.
Your speakers are plugged into the wrong port? Most computers have at least a mic port and a speaker port, many also have front, rear, center, and subwoofer. Try playing a sound, then moving the connector to another port and trying again.
Are your new speakers plugged in? Is the volume on them turned up?
i have a DELL A525 and the is no sound coming out of the speakers or sub-woofer even with the blue light indicator on the speaker is ON and the sub-woofer vol. is high And should there be continuity between the active & neutral pins on the main power cord?
Have a manual for Dell A525 Computer Speakers?


Traditional methods to interrogate promoter and protein function use exogenous plasmid based overexpression or surrogate markers of activity and can result in artefactual data. NanoLuc is a novel, small and bright luciferase from the deep sea shrimp Oplophorus gracilirostris and developed by Promega. When compared to traditional luciferases, such as firefly (Photinus pyralis) or Renilla reniformis, NanoLuc is approximately 150 fold brighter and can be detected even at low expression levels. This enables detection of endogenous gene transcription and protein expression. The brightness of NanoLuc combined with its small size, high thermal stability, activity over a broad pH range, lack of post-translational modifications and uniform cellular distribution make it an ideal tool for studying genes or proteins of interest.
In collaboration with Promega, Horizon Discovery has developed a series of NanoLuc® reporter cell lines, which are ideal to study the regulation of endogenous gene and protein expression in a rapid, simple assay system, suitable for use on high throughput platforms.
NanoLuc-PEST promoter reporter cell lines are designed to be used in transcriptional reporter assays. The PEST sequence is a short signal peptide found in proteins with a short intracellular half-life and is involved in targeting proteins for degradation. The inclusion of a PEST sequence in the reporter cell lines reduces the half-life of NanoLuc, ensures a good dynamic range and prevents intracellular accumulation.
NanoLuc-PEST luciferase reporter cell lines allow transcriptional reporter output of endogenous promoter/response elements that drive the NanoLuc expression. The NanoLuc-PEST sequence is placed directly downstream of the start codon of the gene of interest, allowing assessment of endogenous promoter activity.
Dynamics of NanoLuc-PEST promoter reporter lines. Three NanoLuc-PEST Promoter reporter lines for HIF1A, MYC and GLI1 were treated with actinomycin D, a general transcriptional inhibitor, for 6hrs. Rapid and robust decreases in luciferase signal were observed. The data shows good inducible kinetics on inducible genes. CellTiter-Blue® was used to control for effects on cell viability.
NanoLuc protein reporter cell lines are designed to generate a fusion of NanoLuc to the protein of interest and allow interrogation of protein turnover and stability. The fusion is either N or C-terminal and is designed to ensure protein biology is not compromised.
In C-terminal fusions, NanoLuc is introduced directly upstream of the endogenous stop codon in the gene of interest, in N-terminal fusions it is introduced directly downstream of the endogenous start codon. When fused to an endogenous protein of interest, NanoLuc half-life is then linked to the turnover of the protein.
Dynamics of protein reporter cell lines. Three NanoLuc-PEST Promoter reporter lines for HIF1A and NFE2L2 were treated with cyclophosphamide (t1/2 dictated by target genes) to measure turnover and bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, for accumulation (4hr treatment). Good repression and accumulation kinetics of signals were observed.
Protein Reporter Control cell lines may also be available. NanoLuc has a long intracellular half-life of ~120minutes and can therefore accumulate in cells. These cell lines are intended as controls for the protein reporter cell lines and are not designed for use in transcriptional reporter assays. This configuration enables researchers to demonstrate that the changes in the luciferase signal are due to changes in the level of the target protein and not the turnover of NanoLuc protein.

Placement of boy shot by grandfather questioned
Craig Schneider, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A month after a 6-year-old boy was allegedly killed by his grandfather during an argument over a watermelon, a review of his state child welfare records raises questions about whether he should have been placed in his grandparents' home.
Michael Levigne moved into the home around September 2005, after his troubled parents transferred care of him and his brother to the grandparents, according to interviews with state officials and child welfare records obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
But Michael's 1,200-page DFCS file does not contain such an assessment. DFCS officials say they can't find it, either, but they say they believe one occurred.
The lack of that assessment — which would have determined whether the home was a safe and suitable place for children — has led State Child Advocate Tom Rawlings to question whether Michael and his younger brother should have been placed there.
"I'm concerned that those children were placed in a home that [a child welfare] office said was not appropriate," Rawlings said. The State Child Advocate is appointed by the governor as a watchdog over DFCS.
The DFCS records and accounts by Rawlings paint a picture of a child whose parents had a history of drug and emotional problems and how he and his brother came under the care of their grandparents.
In March 2004, DFCS workers did a separate evaluation of the grandparents' home in connection with the possible placement of children other than Michael. DFCS found "too many red flags" to place them there, Rawlings said.
The March 2004 home evaluation indicated that the boy's grandmother, Linda Clark, had been arrested in Florida on a child abuse charge in 1993. The charge was dropped, Rawlings said.
A second home evaluation, eight months later in November 2004, determined that the home was acceptable for children, Rawlings said.
On June 7 of this year, Michael was shot dead by his grandfather, Robert Clark, at their home in Commerce during an argument over who cut into a watermelon, police said.
Robert Clark also shot his wife, police said, before he was wounded in a standoff with authorities.
Linda Clark remains in the intensive care unit at Grady Memorial Hospital, and Robert Clark is in the medical wing of the Hall County jail, charged with murder and aggravated assault.
Michael's brother was taken into DFCS care.
Long history with DFCS
Michael had a long history with the state child welfare system, according to the DFCS file that The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained through the state open records law.
In addition to his parents' drug and emotional problems, the family had issues with housing, unemployment, poverty, according to the records and accounts by Rawlings, the state child advocate.
Rawlings said he is concerned that the agency did not thoroughly review the grandparents' home before allowing Michael and his brother William to live there.
"The record tells us up front that [a] county DFCS office was very concerned about placing children in that home," Rawlings said. "It is incumbent on the state to make sure that the placement is going to be a safe one."
DFCS Director Mark Washington, who was not with the agency in 2005, said he did not find that requested home assessment in the boy's file. But he did point to a case file entry on Aug. 8, 2005, that indicated a caseworker "told Mrs. Clark her home has been approved for short-term stay by Jackson County DFCS."
Rawlings said that is not acceptable proof that a home assessment was done.
He noted that there can be a difference between a home evaluation and a home assessment. An assessment can be a quicker review for a short-term stay. A more extensive home evaluation can include interviews with the caregivers, relatives and neighbors as well as criminal background checks.
Either way, the documents should be included in the record, Rawlings said.
Child abuse charge dropped
The child abuse charge against Linda Clark, noted in the March 2004 evaluation, pertained to a 1993 incident in which Clark's teenage son came home drunk, started "trouble" with his mother, and she hit him on a the head with a broomstick, said DFCS spokeswoman Dena Smith. The charge was later dropped.
DFCS officials have stressed that there has never been a substantiated case of child abuse or neglect regarding the Clarks and their care of Michael and his brother, and that the agency did not have an open case on the family at the time of Michael's death.
"Did we ask the right questions? Did we make the right evaluations?" said DFCS Director Washington. "I can see evidence of those."
Linda Clark, he said, was a thoughtful caregiver to Michael and his brother.
During an August 2007 meeting with a caseworker, Robert Clark said the two boys were a "blessing," according to DFCS documents. The child welfare agency did on a few occasions help the Clarks obtain assistance services, and agency officials say there were no signs of trouble with the boys' care.
Rawlings said the state Child Advocate Office is continuing to explore the case.

Page's Global Backyard On Display at Ink Shop in Ithaca
Detail of work included in Page's Motifs From the Global Backyard on display at The Ink Shop.
Associate professor of art Greg Page is showing large-scale prints of plant life from around the world this month in Motifs From the Global Backyard, at The Ink Shop Gallery on the second floor of the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) building in Ithaca. The display opened on October 2 and continues through October 31.
The exhibit features plants from different geographic locations with varied climates: the horticulture department greenhouses at Illinois State University; The Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland; Cornell Plantations; and his own backyard in Ithaca. Page uses a subtle lithographic technique in a nuanced approach to depicting plant life, revealing a deep network of information within the leaves and his reverence for the natural world.
An integral part of The Ink Shop since its inception in 1999, Page also had a role in Poisonous Plants, currently on display and continuing through October 30 on CSMA's first floor. This exhibition was inspired in part by Amy Stewart's book Wicked Plants, and created in 2014 by Page's Introductory Print Media class in collaboration with Todd Bittner and Diane Miske of Cornell Plantations. The class visited the Robison York State Herb Garden in the Cornell Plantations where they were introduced to all the poisonous plants there, and learned about identifying and protecting against other similar plants in the wild. Student artists translated their investigations into works in a variety of print media including monoprinting, stenciling, lithography, and screen and relief printing.
