>> Jill Platner
Jill Platner was born in 1969 in Norwell, Massachusetts and received her BFA from Parsons School of Design, NY. Since 1993 her jewelry designs have been sold at Barneys New York, Twist, Portland, Oregon and other retailers worldwide. In 1998, Jill opened up her store on Crosby Street, NYC — where she continues to fabricate and showcase her jewelry and large scale sculptures. Jill Platner lives and works in New York City.
As a jewelry designer I have been making what are essentially wearable sculptures for over 20 years now, so designing and building on a larger scale is a very natural progression for me. It always felt inevitable that I would be making full scale sculpture. Working on such a large scale I am able to explore, with an entirely new perspective, movement- which has been amazing and fascinating for me. It is often one of my goals to have mobility in a piece- an element of engagement that encourages the viewer to physically interact with the sculpture. Not that one necessarily has to, but I love that there is that possibility and that it doesn't necessarily have to be a passive experience. Even if you are not touching it I definitely strive that the work feel "alive" in some way, which is why I especially love outdoor installations. I make the work thinking about how it will move in the wind and how it will weather in the elements.
For my most recent sculptures I combine the processes of casting and forging to create the shapes and finishes that I want. The original models were forged because I wanted to capture the beautiful textures that the heating and hammering of metal creates. I choose bronze as my main material because of it's warm color and also because it stands up so well outside — allowing the sculptures to be installed inside or outside.
>> Michele Oka Doner
Michele Oka Doner is an internationally renowned artist and author whose career spans five decades. Her work is fueled by a lifelong study and appreciation of the natural world from which she derives her formal vocabulary. The breadth of her artistic production encompasses sculpture, jewelry, public art, functional objects, video, artist books and costume and set design. She is well known for creating numerous permanent art installations throughout the United States, including "Flight" at Regan International Airport, "Radiant Site," at the Herald Square MTA station, New York and the mile and quarter long bronze and terrazzo concourse, "A Walk on the Beach," seen by 40 million travelers a year at Miami International Airport. Oka Doner's work is found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, Musée des Arts Décoratifs (the Louvre), the Victoria & Albert, University of Michigan, Yale and Harvard University museums, and The Detroit Institute of Arts, among others. She has received numerous awards, including those given by United Nations Society of Writers and Artists, Pratt Institute, New York State Council of the Arts and the Knight Foundation. In 2016 she received an honorary doctorate from The University of Michigan, where she earned her undergraduate and MFA degrees. Oka Doner is the author or subject of numerous books, including Miami Beach Blueprint of an Eden, and Intuitive Alphabet, and Everything is Alive.
>> Ana Khouri
Jewelry is my medium and to make it, by nature, is to be mindful of its techniques and the value of such fine materials. But this is secondary. The feeling I want to impart is one of radiance, in every sense: That of light, of emotion, of energy and, of course, that of beauty.
Ana Khouri spent her formative years between the United States and her native Brazil. Ana has a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts specializing in sculpture. It was in art school that she first began to think critically about sculpture and jewelry, more precisely about the myriad of ways that a piece can take shape on the wearer, and the balance the work creates with the body. While Ana has been sculpting and working on individual projects since 2002, she officially launched her New York based namesake line in 2013 and it has grown steadily ever since drawing the allegiance of a long list of likeminded women and, in the process, has formed a steady drumbeat under her ascent over the last few years.
Ana Khouri works mainly on one-of-a-kind high jewelry pieces. Khouri's high jewelry can be viewed at her by-appointment space in New York City or at Sotheby's. Her edition pieces can be viewed at The Row or Khouri's by-appointment space.

What's an essential business in New York? The answer is evolving
Gannett New York
ALBANY – Chiropractors, you may now report for work in New York.
The same goes for landscapers, lawyers and telecommunications workers — in some circumstances.
Non-essential businesses in New York have remained closed since March 22 as Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration continues trying to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has contributed to the death of 10,065 residents as of Monday morning.
But the definition of essential is constantly changing as the state weighs requests from various workplaces and industries looking to remain open for business during the global pandemic.
The list of essential industries is maintained by Empire State Development, the state's economic-development branch. It is constantly being tweaked — a new business type added one day; another clarified the next.
Kristin Devoe, spokeswoman for ESD, said the authority's response to COVID-19 has "continuously evolved as we see the situation on the ground change."
"The essential guidance for businesses has been revised to address these changing circumstances to ensure that appropriate social distancing measures are in place and followed, and to allow for regional consistency with neighboring states," Devoe said in a statement.
"We ask that businesses frequently check the guidance for the most up to date information, which is available on the ESD website."
Here's a look at which industries are in and which are out since the state first posted its list of essential business types in March:
In: Remote fitness classes
Gyms and fitness centers have been closed in New York since mid-March, predating the more widespread non-essential business closure that took effect March 22.
But at some point, the state carved out an exemption for fitness instructors who are teaching classes remotely -- via Skype, Zoom, Facetime or a similar online program.
A fitness instructor can go to a gym to conduct the class, so long as those taking the class are participating remotely.
Out: Golf courses; recreational boat launches
Sorry, golfers and boaters.
As of late last week, New York issued guidance calling for golf courses and recreational boat launches to close.
In: Emergency chiropractic care; physical therapy
Need your back realigned? You may be in luck — but only in an emergency.
The state has added emergency chiropractic services to its list of essential businesses, allowing people with severe back issues to seek care while the state's emergency order remains in effect.
Other medical services added to the original essential list are occupational and physical therapy prescribed by a medical professional.
Out: Regular chiropractic care
Having some minimal back pain or just looking for a minor realignment? You're out of luck.
ESD made clear that only emergency chiropractic work is allowed, not your run-of-the-mill back treatment.
In: Telecommunications to service existing accounts
Your local Verizon or Sprint store can remain open in case you have some issues with your phone or other telecommunications services.Telecommunications stores weren't originally on the state's list but were added at some point over the last three weeks.Out: Telecommunications to sell new accountsYou won't, however, be able to peruse a store for a new phone or a new provider. Telecommunications stores are only considered essential when they are servicing existing customers or accounts — not new ones.In: Parks and open public spacesPublic parks and public areas with open space are considered essential, though only if they are large enough to allow people to maintain a 6-foot social distance.Playgrounds and other areas that are too cramped must remain closed, according to ESD's updated guidance.Out: Drive-in theaters (for now)Movie theaters have been closed since mid-March in New York.But operators of drive-in theaters have been pushing for an exemption, arguing that people can maintain a social distance by remaining in their vehicles during the course of a movie.A reporter raised the issue with Cuomo on Sunday, who seemed intrigued by the idea. But top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa said the topic hadn't come up, and Cuomo's Budget Director Robert Mujica said the concern would be requiring drive-in employees to work in tight quarters.In: Landscaping for maintenance or pest controlPublic parks and public areas with open space are considered essential, though only if they are large enough to allow people to maintain a 6-foot social distance.Playgrounds and other areas that are too cramped must remain closed, according to ESD's updated guidance.Out: Drive-in theaters (for now)Movie theaters have been closed since mid-March in New York.But operators of drive-in theaters have been pushing for an exemption, arguing that people can maintain a social distance by remaining in their vehicles during the course of a movie.A reporter raised the issue with Cuomo on Sunday, who seemed intrigued by the idea. But top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa said the topic hadn't come up, and Cuomo's Budget Director Robert Mujica said the concern would be requiring drive-in employees to work in tight quarters.In: Landscaping for maintenance or pest controlThe state carved out an exemption for automobile manufacturers and those who manufacture parts for essential products and businesses after the state's initial guidance was posted.That means GM plants in the state can continue to operate.They also added design and sign manufacturing firms to the essential list — but only if they are doing work for an essential service. So a company that designs or makes signs for a hospital, for example, could still have people report to work. Out: Non-essential constructionThe entire construction industry was initially on the essential list in New York.Then some workers on decidedly non-essential construction projects raised concern about the close conditions they were working under, and the state reversed course.Now only essential construction projects -- infrastructure work, affordable housing, safety measures and the like -- are allowed to proceed. Everything else is prohibited.In: LawyersInitially, lawyers were left off the essential list, meaning they could only work remotely.The state has since changed that direction slightly."Any in-person work presence shall be limited to work only in support of essential businesses or services," ESD wrote of lawyers. "However, even work in support of an essential business or service should be conducted as remotely as possible.Out: Real estate toursReal estate agents have to work remotely at all times -- unless it is "legally necessary" for work to be done in person.Even then, that work has to be done "in accordance with appropriate social distancing and cleaning/disinfecting protocols," according to ESD.

A dedicated revenue source for the CTA already exists, it's called fares. CTA should have raised train fare to $3 and bus to $2.50, then they would have some money for improvements.
The fact that Reader readers (I know I know) hate Rahm over the police department says…a lot. About the readers.
Fares cover only a fraction of transit costs no matter where in the world you look. Raising fares merely disincentivizes use. Since transit is a necessity because there is not enough cheap land to have everyone drive solo, let alone park anywhere near job centers, encouraging transit use is an economic benefit even for drivers.
No one is asking fares to cover. The website says a dedicated funding source would help improve buses. You responded with a big strawman.
Transit use is not elastic, and still cheaper than driving as you point out. The decrease in customers would not be significant.
Based on your nom de guerre, I am assuming you are really Harvey Weinstein.
A rather large obstacle the City would have to tackle is reimbursing the Parking Authority for the removal of metered parking spots, due to the 2008 parking meter 75-year lease. It could be a costly move. The idiotic parking deal that will be in place for another 60+ years will really limit how the city can alter the roadway configuration when there is metered parking present.
Democrats voting yes (61): Ammons, Andrade, Arroyo, Beiser, D. Burke, K. Burke, Cassidy, Chapa LaVia, Conroy, Conyears-Ervin, Crespo, Currie, D'Amico, Davis, DeLuca, Drury, Evans, Feigenholtz, Fine, Flowers, Ford, Gabel, Gordon-Booth, Greenwood, Guzzardi, Halpin, Harper, G. Harris, Hernandez, Hoffman, Hurley, Jones, Kifowit, Lang, Lilly, Madigan, Mah, Manley, Martwick, Mayfield, C. Mitchell, Moeller, Nekritz, Phelps, Riley, Rita, Scherer, Sente, Sims, Slaughter, Soto, Stratton, Tabares, Thapedi, Turner, Wallace, Walsh, Welch, Williams, Willis, Zalewski.
Side streets. And give the residents permit parking on anything left that isn't already permit parking. Also encourage creating off-alley lots.
And raise the parking rates nearby. The deal is a dollar amount deal not a number of spots deal. And it is calculated over the whole city, not a block by block or even ward by ward.
The real threat to Chicago over the parking deal may come from driverless cars and driverless transit. If you don't need to own a car then you don't need to park it.
Do you have a link about how parking management is compensated for "lost" spots? I was under the impression it was on a per spot basis not any revenue baseline. Parking rates seem to increase every year and it seems the city is still paying additional costs from the removal of parking spots for construction, etc.
The meters on southbound Clark don't collect until 9AM. So no issue on this route.
Sorry I'm fresh out of links. All I have left are a few day-old memories.
As I recall the deal calls for the city to guarantee the "lender" of the original money an annual amount. If the lender collects less than the city pays up the difference. If the lender collects more than the city makes some money. When I read the report (1-4 years ago? sorry) the city had never made money. But it was felt that it was a real possibility. At that time anyway.
I call it the "Parking Steal err Deal". I felt Daley should have been arrested for theft of city property.


This is the text of the speech given by Alexander Downer, Minister for Foreign Affairs, at the Anzac Day Dawn Service, Gallipoli, Turkey.
This is a special time. The Dawn Service recalls that earlier dawn, eighty-six years ago, just as the first landings were made at Gallipoli, in the course of a bloody war that engulfed the world.
Gathered here today, to remember those who fought so gallantly on this fateful shore, are representatives from the countries of the soldiers who landed here – Britain, Canada, France, India, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. And we have gathered here, in peace, with the representatives of former adversaries – Turkey and Germany – whose soldiers fought as courageously as their foes.
Today, all of us are graciously welcomed, as friends, by the Government and people of Turkey. Many Turks have emigrated to my land, Australia. They have become valued citizens in their new home, while still retaining close links with their native land. The Turkish community holds an honoured place in the evolution of Australia's multicultural society.
Clearly, the world has moved on since the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. But the memory of what happened here has not been lost with the passage of time. A link with this place is good cause for great pride.
For Australians and New Zealanders, this is especially so. The Anzac spirit of friendship that was forged between our two nations at Gallipoli, far away from the shores of the South Pacific that we share, is irrevocable.
Yesterday, in Australia's national capital, Canberra, the New Zealand Memorial on Anzac Parade was dedicated. The Memorial, which has been generously funded by the New Zealand Government, is a special gift from New Zealand to mark the centenary of Australian federation this year. It recognises the Anzac spirit of friendship that binds us together.
Co-operation between Australia and New Zealand, across many fields of endeavour, gives expression to our enduring sense of partnership, and is grounded on the close intimacy of our people-to-people links. Many citizens of our two nations are attending Anzac Day ceremonies in their suburbs, towns and cities today. All of them are with us in spirit at this special time.
The Anzacs, as we call those Australians and New Zealanders who landed at Gallipoli, created a legend, and left a legacy that continues to inspire us. We are moved by the stories that are told of their time here – for example, by the real humanity and courage of Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick, bringing wounded men down from the lines to the hospital at Anzac Cove on his donkey. We treasure the record they left us – in poetry, diaries, letters home, and drawings too – a record that is rich in its range of emotions, in good humour, and in simple, straightforward eloquence. The Anzacs even produced a book – "The Anzac Book" – from contributions made in the lines at Gallipoli during the closing weeks of 1915, that was published the following year.
A young Australian officer, Lieutenant Richard Casey, landed at Anzac Cove on the first Anzac Day. Like many others, he was wounded here, by shrapnel. Like many others, he saw friends and colleagues killed. Like many others, he bore no personal animosity towards his Turkish adversaries. Like many others, he saw no glamour in the reality of war, writing in his diary on one occasion: "It all seems so hopeless and endless and sordid".
Mercifully, it did end. Lieutenant Casey was one of the lucky ones who survived, and he went on to become Governor-General of Australia. But he never forgot his war experience. It is evident, from the biographical accounts, that he was scarred by the experience – like many others.
Most of us have not experienced war. We can only dimly imagine what it is like. But we know, as the Anzacs knew, that it is a terrible thing.
The experience of the Gallipoli campaign ended the innocence of Australians abroad. Never again have we entered a situation of armed conflict in a light-hearted spirit of adventure, as did so many of those who enlisted at the outbreak of the First World War. We know that, at times, there will be situations of grave danger that must be faced bravely. We do not seek them out, but we are prepared to face them when we must.
Today, all the nations represented here work together with others to enhance the cause of international peace and security. Most recently, many of us have co-operated to advance the process of bringing peace and stability to East Timor under the auspices of the United Nations. We Australians are particularly grateful for these efforts. Our co-operation in that noble endeavour, and in the broader task of furthering peace in the world, is worthy of the spirit and the legend that was forged here at Gallipoli.
The memory of the sacrifice of those who died in the Gallipoli campaign – no matter who they fought for – reminds us of the dreadful cost of war. Those who perished here died bravely, courageously, overcoming any fear that may have lived in their hearts. They died in vain only if we fail – fail to take renewed courage from their sacrifice, and strengthen our determination to work towards building a more peaceful world in the future.
Yes, indeed, this is a special time. As dawn breaks over these shores, the light overtakes the darkness, and a new day begins. This is a time when all of us can resolve to do something more with our lives – to do something, no matter how small, to help build a more peaceful world. That will be the most fitting tribute to the memory of those who perished here, and a fine legacy to bestow when the passage of time leaves us, too, in its wake.

Why CO2 levels are still rising after Covid-19 forced carbon emissions down
Throughout the pandemic, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise.
Zoe Loh, Helen Cleugh, Paul Krummel and Ray Langenfelds
Covid-19 has curtailed the activities of millions of people across the world and with it, greenhouse gas emissions. As climate scientists at the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station, we are routinely asked: Does this mean carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have fallen?
The answer, disappointingly, is no. Throughout the pandemic, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels continued to rise.
In fact, our measurements show more CO₂ accumulated in the atmosphere between January and July 2020 than during the same period in 2017 or 2018.
Emissions from last summer's bushfires may have contributed to this. But there are several other reasons why Covid-19 has not brought CO₂ concentrations down at Cape Grim – let's take a look at them.
Measuring the cleanest air in the world
Cape Grim is on the northwest tip of Tasmania. Scientists at the station, run by the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology, have monitored and studied the global atmosphere for the past 44 years.
The air we monitor is the cleanest in the world when it blows from the southwest, off the Southern Ocean. Measurements taken during these conditions are known as "baseline concentrations", and represent the underlying level of carbon dioxide in the Southern Hemisphere's atmosphere.
The Cape Grim station measures the cleanest air in the world. Bureau of Meteorology
A drop in the CO₂ ocean
Emissions reductions due to Covid-19 started in China in January and peaked globally in April. Our measurements show atmospheric CO₂ levels rose during that period. In January 2020, baseline CO₂ was 408.3 parts per million (ppm) at Cape Grim. By July that had risen to 410 ppm.
Since the station first began measurements in 1976, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have increased by 25%, as shown in the graph below. The slowdown in the rate of carbon emissions during the pandemic is a mere tug against this overall upward trend.
The CO₂ increase is due to the burning of fossil fuels for energy, and land-use change such as deforestation which leaves fewer trees to absorb CO₂ from the air, and changes the uptake and release of carbon in the soils.

Atmospheric transport
Large air circulation patterns in the atmosphere spread gases such as CO₂ around the world, but this process takes time.
Most emissions reduction due to Covid-19 occurred in the Northern Hemisphere because that's where most of the world's population lives. Direct measurements of CO₂ in cities where strict lockdown measures were imposed to show emissions reductions of up to 75%. This would have reduced atmospheric CO₂ concentrations locally.
But it will take many months for this change to manifest in the Southern Hemisphere atmosphere – and by the time it does, the effect will be significantly diluted.
Natural ups and downs
Emissions reductions during Covid-19 are a tiny component of a very large carbon cycle. This cycle is so dynamic that even when the emissions slowdown is reflected in atmospheric CO₂ levels, the reduction will be well within the cycle's natural ebb and flow.
Here's why. Global carbon emissions have grown by about 1% a year over the past decade. This has triggered growth in atmospheric CO₂ levels of between 2 and 3 ppm per year at that time, as shown in the graph below. In fact, since our measurements began, CO₂ has accumulated more rapidly in the atmosphere with every passing decade, as emissions have grown.
Annual growth in CO₂ at Cape Grim since 1976. Red horizontal bars show the average growth rate in ppm/year each decade. Author provided
But although CO₂ emissions have grown consistently, the resulting rate of accumulation in the atmosphere varies considerably each year. This is because roughly half of the human emissions are mopped up by ecosystems and the oceans, and these processes change from year to year.
For example, in southeast Australia, last summer's extensive and prolonged bushfires emitted unusually large amounts of CO₂, as well as changing the capacity of ecosystems to absorb it. And during strong El Niño events, reduced rainfall in some regions limits the productivity of grasslands and forests, so they take up fewer CO₂.
The graph below visualizes this variability. It shows the baseline CO₂ concentrations for each year, relative to January 1. Note how the baseline level changes through a natural seasonal cycle, how that change varies from year to year, and how much CO₂ has been added to the atmosphere by the end of the year.
Daily baseline values for CO2 for each year from 1977 relative to 1 January for that year. Author provided
The growth rate has been as much as 3 ppm per year. The black line represents 2020 and lines for the preceding five years are colored. All show recent annual growth rates of about 2-3 ppm/year – variability in the range of about 1 ppm/year.
Research in May estimated that due to the Covid-19 lockdowns, global annual average emissions for 2020 would be between 4.2% and 7.5% lower than for 2019.
Let's simplistically assume CO₂ concentration growth reduces by the same amount. There would be 0.08-0.23 ppm less CO₂ in the atmosphere by the end of 2020 than if no pandemic occurred. This variation is well within the natural 1 ppm/year annual variability in CO₂ growth.

It's clear Covid-19 has not solved the climate change problem. But this fact helps us understand the magnitude of change required if we're to stabilize the global climate system.
The central aim of the Paris climate agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2℃ and pursue efforts to keep it below 1.5℃. To achieve this, global CO₂ emissions must decline by 3% and 7% each year, respectively, until 2030, according to the United Nations Emissions Gap Report.
Thanks to Covid-19, we may achieve this reduction in 2020. But to lock in year-on-year emissions reductions that will be reflected in the atmosphere, we must act now to make deep, significant, and permanent changes to global energy and economic systems.

I am a coffee drinker. I am also a traveler. I've drained a lot of coffees and I've travelled a lot. Some of these travels have included destinations that are coffee producing countries like Perú, Colombia and the state of Hawai'i.
As a consumer who enjoys the culture of coffee, I'm also increasingly aware that coffee comes from specific places with specific hands that make coffee as a commodity, physically possible and ultimately drinkable.
I enjoy the ritual of drinking coffee, I take pleasure in tipping my barista generously for the craft I'll consume at point of purchase which is also the end of the supply chain: a chain linked mostly by faces I'll never know.
As I grow in my knowledge and appreciation for the industry that is buoyed by a workforce of millions, the same millions which facilitate my enjoyment of a ritual at a coffee shop or in my own home, I am becoming ever aware of how endangered not only I and everyone's ritual is but what is more, how tragic the plight is of my brothers and sisters in coffee producing countries – they are the ones truly endangered.
This is my first attempt on this webzine to talk about C-Price from a first person point of view. I've learned about it through wonderful sites like Daily Coffee News and the Specialty Coffee Association. However, I have been impacted emotionally, more from the stories of professionals in coffee who've competed in barista competitions and shared narratives around the effects of the C-Price to specialty coffee, it's present and its future.
Sustainability is a new tab on this webzine. The word can be as much a trending topic as it is a catchall phrase. I hope it's neither here as sustainability in the financial sense is just as important in its natural application.
What does it mean to work to preserve and conserve an ecological balance in our natural resources – coffee farms included – if we don't also balance, preserve and promulgate the resource of the humans whose natural hands make specialty coffee a $200 billion business yearly?
To sum up briefly, the C-Price is a financial barometer for which coffees prices are discovered and set by the International Coffee Exchange (ICE). This measurement is old outdated and is subjected to volatile spikes that have adversely diseased coffee's cost per pound etc an all time town.
"Today's "C" futures contract was created as the price reference for a basket of mild arabica coffees of similar quality known as "Centrals". Today, with several changes introduced over time, it is widely acknowledged that the "C" futures contract based price does not cover production costs for most producers due to several factors, including speculation by hedge funds that do not understand or care about coffee.
In 1982, the price of coffee fluctuated between US$1.18 and US$1.41 in the international market and a cup of coffee averaged US$ 1.10 in the United States; in 2018, the average price of a pound of arabica coffee in the international market averaged US$1.01. Furthermore, on March 22nd, 2019, the price closed below US$0.95. Coffee producers have lost more than 80% of their purchase capacity in the last few decades," as stated in the DECLARATION OF THE COORDINATION GROUP OF THE WORLD COFFEE PRODUCERS FORUM.
If the cost of coffee minus resources applied to farm infrastructure, ecological maintenance and actual human labor is not included in this C-Price – and it isn't from my understanding – how do we expect a farmer to keep giving from a deficit of resources and sacrifice their livelihood for the commodity that brings a world, comfort and economic gain?
I can not. We can not.
If we don't lobby to care for the people who give us the product that we turn around and serve to another set of people, who we value because their dollars make our coffee shops lights turn on, help buy the avocado that will be spread on toast that will cost $8 dollars and up, paired with a four dollar plus milk drink of comfort which allows us to have children and raise them in the context of independent specialty coffee owners, than what are we saying?
We are saying our lives and lifestyles are of more value to us than their right to a sustainable life and lifestyle. We are saying that there's a subset of humans that don't matter that much and maybe not at all until farms are abandoned. Until successive generations choose not to inherit the family coffee business. Until the natural land we lobbied to conserve is now thriving but with know one to tend to the yield of its beauty.
Therefore, this economic crisis is an issue of environmental sustainability, because without our needed and beloved farmers, there's no farms, no seedlings, no crops, no cherries, no coffee.
A number of the top six baristas in this year's United States Coffee Competition discussed the C-Price in their routine. It is a beginning, a start that must not halt there. Can we as a community of coffee culture loving humans lobby for major and immediate change now? Can we use our voices and our social platforms to fix the crack in coffees' floor.
Change is sometimes small and takes time, this I know. However, what can we do? What can I do?
Seek out companies who are choosing to address C-Market prices with alternative models and buy coffee from them.
While visiting a specialty coffee shop, I can engage my barista in conversation, speak to a roaster on site or even a manager and inquire about their companies policies for buying coffee. I can find out if they are aware of the C-Market price and if so, are they sensitive to raising the floor on it as a buyer in the supply chain.
I can use my social platform – even the audience is small – to raise awareness my sharing relevant articles and links to this crisis hoping that one voice will bind with another and another to create positive action that can lead to real change.
In 2015, Taylor Swift wrote an open letter to Apple detailing her issue with the company not willing to pay royalties to artists or labels during their three month free trail period. It worked and Apple reversed its non-paying structure.
Let's treat the coffee price crisis as an unsustainable model whose floor needs to be repaved, or else, it won't be our farmers falling it through it, it will be the culture too.

Well, not really running out of time…actually time is about all we really have….but the list of things to do in a day do not give blogging or design or art a large priority, but I am trying to give it more time!!!
Here is my Grandma's planter that I never saw plants in my entire life, until we had it…hoping to fill this with geraniums this year….it actually would be the first time my kids actually see plants in it too…and we have had this with us….oh about 10 years….it usually gets filled with crap that we don't want to see on the porch!!
I made this mini 4″ x 4″ "quilty" thing for a friend and just mailed it to him….He is fairly famous quilting wise, and you can probably figure out who it is if you read my blog, but for now I am leaving him nameless…for now….I am hoping he will like it enough to put it on HIS site!!! Shameless gift-giving, well, kinda, but I do want him to like it whether he puts it on his site or not!
And then one last thing. I am officially adding Melissa Averinos to my blog links….Melissa has great pictures, finds great stuff, and is a brand new fabric designer for Free Spirit. I have emailed her a couple times, trying to not seem like a "stalker"…..she seems very genuine and creative….I think you will like her stuff!!
Anybody out there reading this???
The "quilty thing" is absolutely beautiful.


DACG, Inc. is owned by Heather McCandless and is a minority-owned and woman-owned business (DBE).
Formerly, Heather McCandless and Jamie McCandless were part of the top management team at D&A Building Services leading its multi-million dollar waterproofing division, building maintenance business, and tenant build out operations. From there, the business they developed evolved and began to offer a growing number of design and construction services. Today, DACG is a full-service, self-performing and separate general contracting company.
What sets DACG apart is its unique "one-stop" shop offering project teams a wide range of services that span from pre-design to the end of a building's useful life.
DACG has proven experience and understands the responsibilities of a contractor on LEED and other green building projects. We have experience running sustainable job sites. Accordingly, we keep detailed green submittal records on materials weights, costs and sources. We know and track the most cost-effective recycled content and regional materials. Our record keeping includes vendors for tracking landfill debris records and manufacturer's product submittals as needed.
Not only do we know the paperwork involved for running a LEED project, we can upload your submittals to LEED Online or assist with submittals for other green building rating systems, including the Green Globes and the Florida Green Building Coalition programs.
We utilize the all-in-one software tools for building professionals and each on-site team member has an iPAD. This ensures our proficiency and speed of project delivery is maintained through the use of the latest technology available for building project teams.
Our preconstruction design utilizes cutting edge computerized digitizing software, Maxwell ProContractor MX Estimating Software and scheduling programs as estimating tools on projects. This enables our staff to track costs, update schedules and provide valuable feedback about the status of each project. The Maxwell Accounting software itemizes labor, materials, subcontractor, equipment and other costs expended throughout a project. Our technology know-how and internal processes enable us to provide our clients with up to the minute information and view the current financial aspects of the project. We believe the key to effective cost control is timely updating and monitoring of performance prognosis through the entire project.
From estimating to Building Information Modeling (BIM) we keep ahead of the curve with an emphasis on cost-effective technology solutions.
DACG has been certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). DACG's certifications now include: M/WBE, LDB and DBE which they obtained through a Unified Certification Program (UCP).


Als treuer Gänger zu Konzerten in der Festhalle Frankfurt, war es klar, beim Tag der offenen Tür anlässlich des 100. Geburtstags dieser Halle zugegen zu sein.
Ob beim Gang durch die Katakomben des Bauwerks, beim Baumeln am Seil unter der Kuppel oder beim Lesen der Texte und Schauen der Bilder in der Fotoausstellung in der Halle – die schöne und aufwendige Veranstaltung vermittelte einen tollen Eindruck über 100 Jahre Geschichte.
Anbei einige Bilder des Tages.
I recently updated Passenger 2.0.6 to 2.2.4 and experienced that openID logins were not working anymore. Seems like it tries to log output to some strange log location.
to your environment.rb file and everything will work like a treat again.
Well, while there were some serious storms hitting Germany this weekend, we decided to fool the weather and escape to Belgium. Why Belgium? 2 reasons: Beaches there are the closest to the Rhein-Main-Area and we wanted to visit Bruges. Why Bruges? Because it looked so nice in "In Bruges" (or "Brügge sehen und sterben" for my German readers. Yes, I know. Another strange German sentence with too many words anyway!). Don't be shocked: We didn't drive there to get some fancy celebrity pictures or to plunge our faces into some weird cardbord cut-outs showing Colin Farrell. Well, might look nicer though. It was the landscape and the pitoresque oldtown of Bruges which attracted us upfront.
Actually, this was the first time Hollywood didn't disappoint me: Bruges is really nice. A lot of small streets, nice and old buildings, most of them built in the 17th century. Definetely worth a visit. We went to a very nice restaurant in the evening called t'Schrijzverke. Ate good fish there and had plenty of good wine. We stood a night in our hotel (which is ok but looks much nicer on the website than in real life) and moved on to the seaside the day after.
To be honest: we've been to all villages by the sea from Koksijde in the west to Kokke in the north-east. All of them are not nice (don't want to say ugly). Really. The beaches are excellent and beautiful. If you want do go sailing or surfing, you'll find excellent conditions there. But if you expect nice romantic villages with small restaurants at the beach: Visit another country. The beach is covered with huge hotels (7 floors mostly), appartment houses or casinos. Hard to believe that the government still allows building these houses. There are a lot of construction sites and the area from Koksijde to Oostende doesn't have any free space on the beach. Oostende… well, I don't want to talk about this city.
We were searching for a hotel and a nice spot all day long and drove along the cost for almost 70 kilometeres. Finally, we ended up in Knokke. Beautiful beaches but also ugly hotels. However, this small town was nicer than the ones western Oostende. So, we stood here and found a hotel: The hotel was built in 1980 (at least the elevator was telling that on a sign), so the furniture was. But it is clean and not wrecked at all: It looks like the time has stopped ticking since 1980. We enjoyed or time and found a really nice beach bar called "Bar Alain". This 10 seats bar is in the middle of the beach and offers a small range of beers and wines. Nice service and relaxed ambience. Really enjoyed ourselves dispite the huge hotels in our back.
The next day we drove to Gent, a 240k popolation city. Just like Brugge, this city comes along with a lot of old buildings from the 16th century, a gothic cathedral, a water castle and a lot of small streets and squares. Seems like this city is very creative: There are lots of galleries, boutiques and musicians. We'll definetely come back as 2 hours were simply not enough to discover this beautiful city.

What's On In Bedlington?
Samsung Galaxy S6 Launch
threegee posted a topic in Computing
Solid rumour says it will be launched ahead of schedule on 2nd March. It will have a minimum of 3GB of RAM like recent models in the Note series, but 4GB is a possibility. This contrasts with 1GB in recent iPhones, the stingyness of which has many Apple fans unhappy. Here's the rest: 64-bit eight-core 14nm CPU which is 50% faster5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display with a 577ppi density, stunning outdoor visibility, super dim mode for late night.A huge 20 megapixel OIS camera sensor and a 5 megapixel f/1.8 front-facing camera with real-time HDR32 / 64 / 128GB of storage2550mAh batteryBuilt-in wireless chargingFour hours of usage on a 10 minute chargeQuick connect chargingSamsung Pay: works with 90% of existing magnetic stripe payment terminals, and NFC payment terminalsMetal and glass bodyGorilla Glass 4Cat 6 LTEBuilt-in wireless charging is a big plus as it saves having to get hold of a special Qi back or find a mechanically unsatisfactory third party receiver coil. The new body is premium and a deliberate getaway from the plastic construction that on-line reviews often criticise (unjustly I think, because this has saved countless expensive drop disasters). Is it an x86 based product and a step change from ARM? The 14nm CPU might just provide a clue, though none of the rumours mention such a major change of direction.
We've known for a while that the iPhone 6 was going to be a fair bit bigger (once again), but here is a leak of one of the dummies supplied to case manufacturers to ensure they have their sizing absolutely correct. The white phone is, of course, a Sammy Galaxy S5. The Apple copy of the Galaxy Note seems to be due later. That this exists is in no doubt, and is another climb-down for a firm which ridiculed the original Note (and just about everything else they have slowly backtracked on). The Note 4 will be out near year end, so Apple have a lot of catching up to do. What it will be called is intriguing as surely they won't stoop to calling it the iNote? iPadPhone sounds more than awkward! None of this would matter if Apple adopted a live and let live attitude to competitors, and didn't constantly spin that their own originality and innovation was being compromised. The truth is that they are the biggest cloner of other people's ideas on planet Earth!
This Is The Iphone 6 - For Sure!
How's your Russian? Why for sure? Because it exactly matches all the other leaks of component parts from far-east contractors, and they've split it open to see the works! Plus the source has rep for not pulling hoaxes. There's going to be two models (4.7" and 5.5") of course, as Apple have been losing out big time to much larger and much more usable smartphones. So... yet another Steve Jobs myth bust: this time the ideal size of a smartphone. But, the Apple marketing machine is really good at rewriting history, and in leaving its past customers high and dry. That might be excusable at half the price, but when you add on the UK price premium they demand - plus the high cost of ownership - Android is a vastly better proposition for all but rather wealthy technophobes. Anyway, that it's going to sell and sell there is no doubt. iSheep will be lauding the usability of the sensibly sized screens and queueing overnight to boost Apple's coffers even more. It's a funny old world and competition is good, even if you have to accept a degree of brain washing in the mix! The important things are to keep blinkered technophobes very happy, and make megabucks doing so!
Firefox Phones Are Here!
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/os/devices/#zte_openc The Alcatel One Touch Fire is being sold by national network TIM in Italy for less than sixty euros just at the moment, though they seem to have run out them for now. Out of the entire bunch the Alcatel One Touch Fire E seems to be the best proposition: Apparently they are being made available in: Czech RepublicGermanyPolandRAM is still limited to 512MB but it has a more usable 4.5" screen and a tad faster dual core CPU. qHD means quarter HD i.e. 960x540 which isn't at all bad for general use. The only price indicator I can find for the Fire E is 6000 Indian rupees (just over £60), which is pretty hard to believe for such a specification. I'm trying to get hold of one and will report here if/when I do. The models with 128MB RAM (or even 256MB) are avoids, and likely only made for sale other than in "the first world". One of the models is being sold on UK eBay I'm told, not sure which at the moment. I've no information that any UK retailers are stocking any just yet. The Android One devices look interesting too but it's still very early days here too. Microsoft now has real problems if it's intending to peddle Nokia devices with Windows Phone into the developing world.

Nylander says he wants to stay
← return to In The Room
By Corey Masisak The Washington Times - September 13, 2009, 04:59PM
Michael Nylander just spoke to the media for the first time since returning to North America a couple of days ago. Nylander said he is not pursuing a deal to move to a European club.
"I come here to play in the NHL and I am looking forward to the season. I feel good and I am in good shape and I am just looking forward to the season," he said. "I am coming here with the intention to play for the Capitals. I have two years left on the deal."
When asked if the Caps came to him with a deal to go to Europe tomorrow, he responded:
"No, I am not ready for that. I am saying again, I have a two-year deal here and I am looking forward for the season to start."
Nylander also said a Swedish media outlet misquoted this summer. The media outlet quoted him as saying Bruce Boudreau told him he wasn't good enough to play for the Caps at the end of last season.
"I think they misunderstood what I said," Nylander said. "I said, 'By me not playing, that showed me that I was not good enough to make the team.' They chose the wording that Bruce said it, but I said, 'By them not playing me, it showed I was not good enough.' "
Nylander said his family is still in Sweden, but he expects them to join him here after he takes care of a housing situation. Where the Michael Nylander situation goes from here is still to be determined.

Best minimalist watches made of wood
It can't be denied that style has faced a massive transformation throughout the decades. From the prim and proper dress of the 50s and before, to the hippy-dippy countercultural fashion of the 60s, to the glitz and glam of the 70s-80s, to the uber-casual if not grungy fashion of the 90s-2000s and beyond, the only think that has remained consistent in fashion is that it always changes. Our current trend of minimalism seems to be holding on pretty strong so far. With 2020 fast-approaching, why not embrace this today by treating yourself to some of our best minimalist wood watches?
What are Minimalist Watches?
While it may seem rather straightforward, sometimes it's difficult to recognize whether a watch is minimalistic, simple, or just bland. Minimalist watches (including those of the wooden variety) are characterized by sleek lines, monochromatic colors, and uncomplicated/streamlined designs. They are also often made out of higher-quality materials because minimalist watches strive to be classic, refined, and easily wearable rather than loud, flashy statement pieces. In other words, minimalist watches are kind of meant to be elevated basics. They're the watch equivalent of a classic, black t-shirt or a perfectly fitted suit. It isn't particularly earth-shattering, and it doesn't shake up the fashion or accessory world as we know it – but it does take someone's style game up a few notches while staying classic and familiar.
Why are Minimalist Watches Trendy?
One of the main reasons behind minimalist watches trendiness is largely built into the product. Minimalist watches are built to be stylish basics. Because of this and because they're not particularly "out there," they can be worn in just about any context. No matter whether someone's style is casual or formal, down-to-earth or cutting edge, traditional or uber-modern, minimalist watches can fit right in. Their versatility is also great for extending the life of the watches, which makes them extra trendy and popular. After all, nobody wants to spend money on a product that will quickly become irrelevant, unstylish, or immature. With their timeless sophistication, the odds of minimalist watches suffering from any of these is extremely low. In other words, accessorizing with them is a perfect way to add a little flair and individualization to an outfit while still keeping things low-key, sleek, and timeless.
The Difference Between Simple Design and Minimal Design
While minimalism and simplistic are often conflated these days, there is a difference between the two. Minimalism is a defined style and as such implies that a certain level of design is indeed necessary. Simple designs, whether justly or unjustly, are instead more about the absence of design. It's often marketed as such and as form over function whereas minimalistic designs very heavily care about form as much as function. That form just takes a different stylistic approach. Additionally, good minimalism is all about a central message or theme – part of why monochromatic minimalist watches are so prevalent. Its main goal is to be just as distinctive, attractive, and original as other styles, while achieving this with fewer bells and whistles. Simple watches, clothes, etc. once again don't follow this equation. They aren't looking to achieve equal stylishness or personality as other design types. They're actually trying to escape this by ignoring the aesthetics and promoting utility. Seems like a big difference, doesn't it? It absolutely is, but few pick up on it.
Our Top Watch Picks
So now that we know what minimalist design and watches are and are not, we can get into some of the best minimalist wood watches at Urban Designer. Here's our list for the top 5 you can buy today!

It also features a gorgeous, satin-y looking sapphire watch face that gives it the perfect pop of color. Minimalists may love their monochromatic aesthetic, but they also know when (and how) to turn up the heat a bit.
2. Minimalist Round Zebra Wooden Watch Luxury Wood & Stainless Steel Combined Watch Band
If you're looking for a watch that perfectly demonstrates how minimalism doesn't mean boring and basic, this is the perfect wooden watch for you. Like all UD watches, it has an impressive and uniquely rich wood grain that will no doubt get even better with time. As amazing as the wood tones are, the watch face really steals the show here with an edgy, sheet-metal gray face adorned that is sure to impress even the pickiest watch-lovers among us. The combined zebra wood and stainless-steel band pulls the look together while remaining easy to wear and durable. It's one of our personal favorites for a good reason.
3. UD Personalized Mens Minimalist Dark Faced Multi-Function Watch
This next watch is a little dark and moody while staying classically cool. If you are seeking a wood watch that will compliment whatever you choose to wear, this is the ticket. With an almost-black wood grain face and a dark matte bezel, it always comes off as effortlessly cool. It also features considerable visual appeal with its asymmetric dials, date and with its warm tan, premium leather wristband. It's a watch that puts style before practicality and we honestly love it for it. We think you will, too!
4. Round, White Marble Stone Face Wooden Urban Designer Watch
In the lands of yesteryear, marble was associated with only the most powerful and grandiose. Well, this watch subverts that by combining a beautiful white marble face with a more minimal and earthy wood bezel and band. It's not a combination you'd expect, but it's one you're going to easily fall in love with. Who knew marble could go minimal? With indices (you know, those little time lines/markers) instead of cluttered numbers and with a back-to-basics watch band, it perfectly straddles the line between toned-down and turned-up. It's minimal fashion at its best.
5. UD Ladies Personalized Wooden Watch with Premium Leather Strap
For anyone who is looking for something a little smaller and more delicate, we can't recommend this wood watch enough. It is laid-back and comfy casual with a cute but straightforward millennial pink face and a natural wood bezel. Combined, all its parts add up to a watch that feels equal parts beachy and cozy. That vibe is only further enhanced by the watch's no-fuss leather band and sustainable, reclaimed wood material. Basically, it's the perfect minimalistic wood watch for those who believe in cute and comfy above all else.

I've finally gotten some time to finish up my new theme for rocktreesky. Obviously it follows the naming of the site but it also just feels a lot more like home to me. I'm not the best at graphics but the new header is close enough to the picture in my mind that I'll be happy with it. Right now the tree is in winter display but spring is less than a week away so I will be updating the header to have a spring tree soon. I also plan to eventually create a night sky that will show when it is night time at home. I will probably be making small tweaks over time as everything isn't exactly what I want yet (like the pagers and comments) but I figured it was close enough to roll.
I built the theme using Firefox and it seems to work fine in Safari and Opera. I did look at it in IE and I can tell you it is horribly broken in IE6 and I have no intention of fixing that. I think I've got it set up so that IE6 just gets no styling at all and a little message saying you should upgrade. I didn't really test it out though, so good luck. In IE7 it looks mostly OK, so I don't think it is worth the minor tweaks. If anyone finds anything horribly broken in a modern browser, feel free to leave a comment, but do realize that making it look pretty for everyone is not a priority for me.

North Dakota lawmakers to hear governor's budget, decide Legislature mask mandate
JACK DURA
North Dakota legislative leaders attend a COVID-19 press conference held by Gov. Doug Burgum on Oct. 8, 2020. Front to back are House Majority Leader Chet Pollert, R-Carrington; Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson; and House Minority Leader Joshua Boschee, D-Fargo.
Tom Stromme
New state lawmakers take office this week during the Legislature's organizational session, during which the governor will lay out his budget plans and lawmakers will decide on a legislative mask mandate.
Among those swearing in will be a longtime, powerful state representative whom Gov. Doug Burgum sought to keep from another term.
Business during the three-day session that begins Tuesday will set the framework for the 2021 Legislature, which convenes Jan. 5 for up to 80 days. The 2019 Legislature used 76 days and passed a record $14.7 billion overall budget, including federal money.
State Supreme Court justices on Tuesday afternoon will administer the oath of office to lawmakers, who include five senators and five representatives newly elected this fall. The House will elect a new speaker, who presides over the chamber. Committee chairs will be named.
Republicans increased their supermajority power in the general election to 40-7 in the Senate and 80-14 in the House.
Many lawmakers, including those newly elected, attended a two-day meeting at the Capitol earlier this month, and interim committee chairs presented study reports.
Most lawmakers wore masks, and seats in the House chamber were designated for social distancing. Legislative leaders have ramped up livestreaming technology and remote capabilities amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The organizational session will be the first time the full Legislature has met since April 2019, setting the stage for how the body will operate in the pandemic.
"Just because of COVID-19, it's going to be more difficult, no doubt about it," said House Majority Leader Chet Pollert, R-Carrington.

Remote access, rule changes prepare 2021 Legislature for 'what-ifs'
North Dakota Republicans increase supermajority in Legislature
Doug Larsen only recently started preparing to be the new state senator for District 34 encompassing Mandan. Sen. Dwight Cook, R-Mandan, chose not to run again, and Larsen bested former North Dakota Commerce Commissioner Al Anderson in the June primary and Democrat Adam Michal in the general election to win.
Larsen came down with COVID-19 days after the general election. He was "hard down" with the illness for two weeks, lost 10 pounds and didn't get back to feeling normal until Monday. He recovered at home and now feels "fantastic."
He has toured the Capitol with Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, discussed his duties and fielded messages from constituents.
"That's been kind of a neat experience," Larsen said.
He also has studied state budgeting, read up on current issues "to keep up in the know" and participated in Senate Republican caucuses held virtually.
"I hope to be ready to go and be productive," he said.
North Dakota Supreme Court denies governor's legislative appointment
Dave Nehring, of Bismarck, joins the House of Representatives after a high-profile race in District 8, which is north and east of Bismarck.
The election preceded a three-way legal fight this month before the state Supreme Court over who would fill the second seat, which was won by David Andahl, 55, of Baldwin, who died Oct. 5 from COVID-19 but whose name remained on the ballot.
Longtime Rep. Jeff Delzer, R-Underwood, who chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee and was defeated in the primary, is now set to hold the seat by his district party's appointment.
Burgum, a wealthy former software executive, gave more than $1.8 million to a political group run by former advisers that successfully targeted Delzer's seat in the primary. After the general election, Burgum unsuccessfully sued to appoint a state representative to the seat won by Andahl. The governor was countered by two factions who respectively argued for a district party appointee and the Democratic-NPL third-place finisher in the general election.
Nehring said he's ready to "listen and learn and hopefully make an impact." He's been preparing for the organizational and legislative sessions through caucus and rules meetings, and has scheduled to meet with several city councils within the district to find out their concerns and share updates.
He's already met many other lawmakers, who have been "pretty darn welcoming," he said.
The upcoming legislative session also will be the first for four state representatives who were appointed to fill vacancies since the 2019 Legislature adjourned.

Among them will be the District 27 successor to Rep. Thomas Beadle, R-Fargo, who takes office as state treasurer on Jan. 1.
Mask mandate
Legislative leaders last month endorsed a mask mandate for the Legislature's spaces. The recommendation goes to the House and Senate rules committees, which will recommend sets of rules for the 2021 session to each chamber this week.
The mask mandate would come as a joint rule, which both chambers would have to adopt.
North Dakota coronavirus news, Oct. 21: Mask mandate to be considered for Legislature
Bismarck Tribune staff
It's unclear what enforcement or penalties would be attached, if adopted.
"I'll just tell you this: If you wear blue jeans in the chambers, you're asked to leave. Now, everybody has left so far, on their own," said Wardner, R-Dickinson. "Nobody's had to escort them out or anything like that. Well, this isn't any different, and I just don't want to speculate, but we would expect everybody to follow the rules in the chamber."
Wardner said a mask mandate could be considered like a dress code. The Senate, for example, requires its members to keep their suit jackets on during floor sessions.
"If people had their way, they would not," he said. "You'd have some people look like who knows what, hobos or something, sitting there if we didn't have a dress code."
House Minority Leader Josh Boschee, D-Fargo, also has likened a legislative mask mandate to dress code requirements. If wearing a tie "hasn't been a problem for anyone over the last how many decades, why should wearing a mask to protect the public health of our colleagues but also the citizens who participate in the process?" he said.
"I certainly hope that my colleagues recognize that when we are in a shared space like that, we have to respect one another's ability to participate, represent our districts, and wearing a mask is the easiest, cheapest way for us to do that," Boschee said.
Pollert said House Republicans have discussed the mask mandate and "opinions vary on what should be done."
Burgum, who begins his second term with Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford on Dec. 15, will present his executive budget to the Legislature on Thursday morning.
The governor will appear in person in the House to deliver his budget address, said his spokesman, Mike Nowatzki. The governor's blueprint contains his recommendations for state agencies' next two-year budgets, his priorities and whatever projects he might propose. In 2018 he presented a slate of projects using earnings of North Dakota's oil tax savings, the Legacy Fund.
State agencies began meeting in January with the governor's office and the Office of Management and Budget in a strategy review process to plan their budgets. Burgum in May gave budget guidelines to state agencies to cut 5-15%, depending on their size.
All state agencies have now submitted their budget requests. The Office of Management and Budget has been working for the past several weeks with the governor to develop his executive budget, Director Joe Morrissette said.
Boschee hopes to learn from the governor's address "how do we make sure that we continue to provide the services that North Dakotans expect of us," from roads to motor vehicle departments to human services.
He also expects to hear about Legacy Fund earnings, which have so far been used to balance state budgets and backfill a shorted state school aid fund.

Gov. Burgum criticizes budget rule change as session progresses
Pollert expects Burgum to offer his budget blueprint and "we in turn will take a look at our blueprint and then we will work through the legislative priorities of what we think, but at the same time be looking at what he has brought forward."
Before the 2019 Legislature convened, Delzer led a rule change that shifted how lawmakers considered Burgum's proposals. Burgum later said he felt his executive budget had been "tossed in the garbage." Delzer said all of Burgum's proposals were fully vetted and many were adopted, and that the rule change was years in the making and added more transparency in budget writing.
The next budget will be challenging, Pollert said. North Dakota faces uncertainty from oil prices, the pandemic and what might come from the incoming Biden administration, he said.
"It just raises a whole bunch of new issues," he said.

Fermented kimchi is an easy, tasty, healthy dish. Learn how to make it yourself at home.
Total Time: 15 minutes for preparation. Two sessions of resting to ferment: varying lengths of time.
Cut the cabbage lengthwise and remove the core, then chop the remaining cabbage into one-inch strips.
Place cabbage into a glass bowl and sprinkle with salt, mixing it together with clean hands.
Cover salted cabbage with cold water. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 4-24 hours. Note: You may need to place a weight on top of the cabbage to keep it completely submerged under the brine.
Drain the brine from the cabbage. Reserve brine.
Place remaining ingredients in large bowl and mix together.
Add cabbage to bowl and toss with clean hands.
Repack cabbage into individual glass jars with lids, packing tightly and adding brine if necessary to cover. Leave about one inch of space.
Allow to ferment at room temperature for 1 to 7 days, depending on your preference.
Refrigerate once kimchi is at desired fermentation level.
You can use any vegetables you like for kimchi: cabbage and daikon radish are simply the most commonly used.
You can adjust the spice levels up or down for your personal taste, to range anywhere from zero (this would be consistent with sauerkraut) to very spicy.
You can also add fresh chilies such as jalapenos or serranos and reduce the amount of chili powder or sauce used.
Use salt that is free of iodine and anti-caking agents because they can inhibit fermentation.
Only use filtered or spring water free from chlorination because chlorine can inhibit fermentation.
You can substitute the Korean red pepper powder with the same amount with a hot sauce such as Sriracha if you prefer.
For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the fish sauce with either kelp (3/4 teaspoon kelp powder in 2 tablespoons of water) or 2 tablespoons red or white miso paste.
The microflora that grow in kimchi thrive on sugar, so adding some to the fermentation process helps to provide "food" for the microbes to eat so they grow and provide you with all of their benefits.

Our salesman was Jake and he was very helpful. I'm glad he is non-commissioned which made us feel no pressure. The whole process was quick and painless. I also like the Maguire lowest price guarantee.
Jake is a new employee and doing an excellent job. I will definitely refer people to Watkins Maguire.
As a woman, I've found that there are times the car salesmen deem you as unintelligent when it comes to cares because you are a woman. This was NOT the case at Chilson Wilcox. Charlie was pleasant, informed, helpful and just a delight to work with. I will DEFINITELY be doing business with them in the future.
Great experience WELL worth the travel!!
We made the trip from Cortland, which is an hour and a half, not knowing what to expect. After sitting down with Charlie and getting the details on the car, we got a GREAT deal on a used Toyota Rav4. I couldn't find any other dealership within $3,000 of their asking price in New York. It was a great experience and well worth the trip, I am so happy with my new car!
I was really please with my salesman Charlie Griswold. Charlie was very knowledgeable about the Dodge Grand Caravan line of vehicles. Charlie was able to comfortably address every question and concern I had regarding my purchase of a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The buying and vehicle pickup process was seamless without any issue. The vehicle is GREAT! I love it! Thank you Charlie for being such a great salesman.
I bought a used BMW Z4 roadster from Chilson-Wilcox last Fall. The car had low miles and was in great shape. The price was right, too, in part because convertible season was over. The sales experience was great...no pressure, and very professional. I only put a few hundred miles on the car before putting it away for winter storage. After putting it on the road this Spring, I experienced a problem with the power top. I live about a hundred miles from the dealership, so took the car to a local shop for repair under the extended service contract that I had purchased. The repair was expensive, and I ended up with out-of-pocket costs of a little over $200. Here's where it gets good. I sent a copy of the repair receipt to Charlie Griswold, and Chilson-Wilcox reimbursed me for my portion of the balance. They didn't have to do that, since the dealer warranty had expired. It was pure goodwill. My customer experience with Chilson-Wilcox has been outstanding.

According the 'Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology', the axial spondyloarthritis patients who reported a large symptom burden at baseline had poor response rates and low retention rate for TNFi.
Krabbe S and colleagues conducted nation wide DANBIO registry, observational cohort study to examine the effectiveness of TNFi treatment for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients with extremely poor patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
The patients with axSpA who started first TNFi during the year 2011-2016 were divided as per the baseline Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index. The BASDAI > 9.0 to ≤ 10.0 was considered as poor BASDAI. Chi-squared tests were used to evaluate the treatment responses after six months in patients with extremely poor PROs were compared with other patients. Log-rank tests were used to examine the retention rates. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), pain score and patient global score were used for similar analysis.
Out of total 1396 patients with median age 39 years, 60% men participated in this study. The patients with extremely poor baseline BASDAI [63 patients (5%)] were often women, ever smokers, and human leucocyte antigen-B27 negative, and had higher BMI (body mass index). The response rates were poorer in patients with extremely poor BASDAI vs the rest of the patients. Lower 1-year treatment retention (51% and 68%) were seen in poor BASDAI patients. More, similar results were established for patients with extremely poor BASFI, pain score, and patient global score.
Extremely poor patient-reported outcomes are associated with lack of clinical response and decreased retention rate of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor treatment in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
