The Museum of Modern Art's collection is hitting the road—again. In June, around 200 works, including many of the museum's best-known objects, will travel to the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
"They were interested in the masterworks of the institution," MoMA's director Glenn Lowry told the press at an event earlier this month. But curators have also included works by artists who will be less familiar to Australian audiences, such as Wifredo Lam, Lygia Clark, and Theo van Doesburg.

MoMA's masterworks have been racking up frequent flyer miles this year. While the museum is undergoing a major renovation, it has taken the opportunity to partner with institutions abroad to present highlights from its holdings. The entire collection will reconvene at the museum in 2019, when MoMA opens its expansion with a comprehensive reinstallation of the collection.
Last fall, the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris presented a similarly ambitious exhibition drawn from MoMA's star-studded holdings. The show—which examined what it means to be modern and how MoMA managed to assemble a cutting-edge collection in real time—was considered a coup for the deep-pocketed institution.

Though there is some overlap—postcard-worthy works by Duchamp, Picasso, and Kahlo are included in both shows—the many differences between the two point to audiences' distinct inclinations and the staggering depth of MoMA's holdings. (Few other museums could do two best-of exhibitions and duplicate fewer than half the works.) The Paris show skewed more heavily toward photography and archival material, while the Australian exhibition has more furniture design and a larger presence by American heavyweights like Robert Rauschenberg.
A number of works in MoMA's collection are too fragile to travel, but beyond that, nothing was off-limits for the NGV, according to a MoMA representative. The exhibition includes 127 works that have never been shown elsewhere since their acquisition and another 46 that have not been exhibited outside of MoMA in the past decade. The museum declined to comment on whether the Australian institution was funding the show and did not disclose whether MoMA received a loan fee.

14 Songs To Listen To When You Like Someone
Erin Cooper
Being in love is a feeling that we all have experienced in our life. When we fall for someone, we find it very difficult to pass even a single moment without the thoughts of our special one. We try to figure out what happened to us, but in vain. Our dire desire to see the special someone makes us feel like floating on air like the lightest of feathers.
More: 18 Songs About Meeting Someone Special For The First Time
When we do get to see our special one, our heart starts to beat faster. This feeling is magical, though a few find it painfully beautiful, especially if your love is unrequited. Regardless of the kind of feeling growing inside you, there will always be a nice, romantic song suitable to your sentiment. Here are 14 songs that describe this state of mind best and could help you revel in the emotions you feel about that one special person.
Songs About Liking Someone
You're Beautiful by James Blunt
Did you know that James Blunt served in the military prior to his music career? It is quite refreshing how he turned into one of the most romantic voices you will ever come across. His first album took the music world by storm, back in 2004. Since then, this British gentleman has never disappointed us with his music. This particular song immediately reached the peak of top charts not long after it was released, both in the US and the UK. How did that happen? Well, James Blunt took inspiration from an incident that happened to him. In fact, all his songs were based on true events. The story of a one-sided love-at-first sight incident was outlined in wonderful lyrics along with a melody that invokes all depths of emotions. We can feel his agony of a broken heart when the last line comes. This brilliant song is one of the most amazing pieces of modern-day song writing.
I'm Yours by Jason Mraz
When it comes to relaxing songs with classic acoustic music, very few can do this better than Jason Mraz. I'm Yours fully expresses the feeling of a man who is entirely drowned in the charm of a woman he fell for, and now his love-hungry heart wants to send this romantic message out to that special person as soon as possible, before the time is over.
You Make Me Wanna by Blue
This is arguably the greatest creation from the English boy band, Blue. The lyrics, music and expressions used in this song are totally on point. It describes how you might want to call your beloved when everyone is asleep in the middle of the night. When you are feeling lonely on a starry night and are having thoughts of your crush, this song can be your best companion. Blue has not been on the spotlight for quite a while, but this song is evergreen.
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths
If you have watched the movie "500 Days of Summer", then you must have heard this particular song for sure. The emotion exuded by this song pulls at your heartstrings. This song depicts how luck stands in the way of two people being together. It talks about a moment when the singer's crush gives a light of hope, and the singer wants to grab that with both arms. The plead to fate in this song will touch anyone's heart and remind them of their crush.
Every Time by Britney Spears
It is quite a shame that this is one of the most underrated songs from Britney. This song deserves a lot more recognition compared to the other hits from this pop icon. The song starts with mesmerizing soft music and then the soft vocal of Britney comes in to show how the feeling of having a crush on someone really looks like. She describes the authority her crush has over her and how tough it is to live without him. She is like an angel unable to fly because she is bounded to Earth by her feelings for him.
Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
Teenage life is that point in time when we first get introduced to the concept of liking someone. Moreover, it is that period when falling in love is at its purest form. No interest or logic is attached to that. Probably that is why we tend to experience massive adrenaline rushes when our crush is with us, or even talks to us. Katy Perry's song describes these feelings very thoroughly. She brought out the feeling of when our crush likes us back, and how we feel like we are at top of the world. You will definitely go back to your teenage days with this hit from Katy Perry.
Clumsy by Fergie
Clumsy is one of those songs that helped Fergie to reach the peak of fame she is currently at. This song is very catchy and refreshing which you will likely play in your head over and over again. Those of you who feel extremely nervous to the extent of becoming tongue-tied whenever your crush is right in front of you, would certainly appreciate this song.
Every Time We Touch by Cascada
Cascada is Natalie Horler's German music act, which started back in 2004. Every Time We Touch is one of the mega hits from this legendary act. Though this song has multiple different versions, the original one still holds a special place in the hearts of their first listeners. This song explains your desire of getting close to your crush, how you feel her or his touch in your dreams. When you like someone, you think about them every now and then, whether you want it or not, and this song describes it perfectly.
Lullaby by Paradise Fears
Ever thought of becoming your crush's lullaby when they are sleeping alone at night? If you did, then this song is written especially for you. Lullaby will bring back the memories from your high school and remind you of how you felt butterflies in your stomach when your crush then noticed your or talked to you.
Sweet Pea by Amos Lee
Amos Lee is such an incredible singer and his songs take us back to our coffee house days. Moreover, his songs are easy to hum to and even play on a guitar or piano. Songs that you can sing and play along are the best ones when it comes to songs about liking someone and this one certainly ticks all of those boxes.
All This Love by Donell Jones
You definitely remember the way you wanted to find an excuse to start a conversation with your crush for the first time ever, right? You were probably confused and nervous too. But yet you wanted to go forward with it anyway and so you mustered all your courage to approach him or her. This song is just about that. Donell Jones sings his heart out describing the lack of restriction and endless possibilities when a fresh conversation between two people is about to start. Donell does not care about the boundaries or limitations, and the song is perfectly written by keeping that in mind.
Just In Time by Dean Martin
Probably Frank Sinatra's version of Just In Time is the more famous one, but Dean Martin's rendition is the real deal. You will barely find a song as stimulating as this one, and every time you listen to it, your heart will swell like crazy and get filled with the thoughts of your crush.
You Got It Bad by Usher
Usher has blessed us with some brilliant songs and massive hits over the years. When You Got It Bad was released, Usher was signed with Arista Records. It is quite refreshing to know that this superstar could create such blissful music even in his lesser-known days. This song is about when you start liking someone, you want to change yourself according to their peers. The lyrics say it well, it tells how much you want to be with them and what their presence means to you. The listeners can connect to this song in such a way that it seems like the real story of their own lives. No wonder this song held onto its rightful place on top of the billboard for a week.
When I See You by Fantasia Barrino
When I See You is the biggest hit ever from the American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino. It is one of the most innocent songs you will ever come across. This song speaks about a crush in a way that just seems so real. The lyrics may sound simple, but every word and phrases are very well thought-out. The listeners can easily relate to the song in many ways to reminisce their memories of spending days after days of having a hopeless crush. The stories and incidents described in the song are quite sweet and innocent. Apart from the lyrics, Fantasia's emotion-filled vocal depicts a very clear picture of romantic feelings when you listen to it.

Do You Prefer Your Pet To Your Partner In Bed? Of Course Not.
Do You Prefer Your Pet To Your Partner In Bed?
Apparently over 50% of Britons share the bed with a family pet every night. And rather staggeringly, IKEA has reported that 1 in every 3 Britons they asked admitted that they would prefer to share the bed with a pet over their other half.
Is that really true? We weren't won over by the evidence, so we've decided to take matters into our own hands and start a poll of our own. Pets in Bed: Yes or No? And the results suggest otherwise.
We took to Houzz to see for ourselves how the UK feels about sharing their bed with their pets.
Our results suggest that snuggling up to your pet in bed isn't quite as widespread as suggested. Which in turn suggests that 1/3 of Britons in fact DON'T prefer their pet to their partner in bed. What do you think? Get involved and cast your vote now!
Whether you like sharing your bed with your pet or not, one of the most important things for a good night's sleep is a divinely comfortable and supportive mattress. We make a whole range of memory foam mattresses, toppers and pillows in our Yorkshire Mattress Factory, with mattresses starting at just £114.99! So if you're looking for a new bed or mattress, make sure you check out our range. We're very popular with both pets and humans.

Art & Design|Roberto Burle Marx and His Leafy Vision of the Tropics
Roberto Burle Marx and His Leafy Vision of the Tropics
The New York Botanical Garden has opened its largest ever show, devoted to the Brazilian landscape architect.

By Jason Farago
This Friday in Rio de Janeiro is the shortest day of the year, the start of a winter that, by New York standards at least, gets only a little bit nippy. Here, though, the hot days have arrived, and up in the Bronx, the sun-starved among us have all summer to immerse ourselves in a southern hemisphere Shangri-La.
"Brazilian Modern: The Living Art of Roberto Burle Marx" has taken over the New York Botanical Garden — and offers an exuberant gust of tropical modernism that will thrill anyone caught in the concrete jungle. Burle Marx, Brazil's greatest landscape designer, hasn't lacked for institutional attention lately; just three years ago the Jewish Museum presented a retrospective of his paintings, tapestries, jewelry and designs for green spaces and public thoroughfares in Rio, Brasília, and even Miami. But that show could not offer what this one does: a full-scale, fragrant, enchantingly lush garden, complete with numerous flowering plants and philodendrons that Burle Marx himself first identified.
[Read our guide to 11 outdoor installations to see in New York City.]
Along with Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, the master planners of Brasília, Burle Marx (1909-1994) is the designer most responsible for our utopian impressions of the Brazilian built environment, with its superstructures of swooping concrete ringed by profuse green expanses. The garden here in the Bronx (designed by Raymond Jungles, a Miami-based protégé of Burle Marx) does not replicate a single Burle Marx design, but fuses the horticultural signatures of his more than 2,000 parks and gardens into a sort of ultra-tropical escape.

A sinuous black-and-white concrete ribbon, echoing his boardwalk along Rio's Copacabana Beach, leads you past miniature palm trees, drooping ornamental elephant's ears, and beds of calico plants. The flowers and plants are grouped into bright monochromatic bands — purple or green, fulvous red or Princeton orange — that undulate alongside the concrete promenade, a translation of the abstract paintings Burle Marx made as preparatory materials. By the garden's edge, a fountain of imitation concrete mimics the curving abstraction he carved in bas-relief for the Banco Safra in São Paulo, and gurgles water into a pond below.
Many of the species are native to Brazil, notably the gorgeous bromeliads: flowering plants with rosettes of long, stiff leaves of pink, orange or green. (The most famous bromeliad? The pineapple.)
They sit in planters on the steps and nestle in the garden's chromatic bands, while beside the conservatory's pool are bromeliads with branching orange blooms that pierce through starchy green leaves. The catalog identifies more than 20 species that Burle Marx first introduced to horticulture — like Alcantarea burle-marxii, whose fronds of the specimen here rocket to the height of a 10-year-old child.
Bromeliads grow on the trunks and branches of trees. Burle Marx grew a collection on a concrete wall at his home.CreditBrittainy Newman/The New York Times
The Burle Marx show has been billed as this institution's largest botanical exhibition ever, and it has certainly gone all in on the Carioca spirit. The speakers inside the Victorian-style Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, which contains more sensitive flowering plants, are pumping in bossa nova of a rather cheesy, hotel-lobby substrain. Outside, sandwich boards throughout the garden offer excerpts from Brazilian poetry, in Portuguese and English. (You already missed the caipirinha-fueled Pride party.)
In the institution's library, you can see a small pendant exhibition of Burle Marx's later paintings and tapestries, mostly made during the dictatorship of 1964-1985. Another floor promises to showcase his fabulous Rio home, known as the Sítio, though it underdelivers; it offers just a few pictures and texts, and mostly offers visitors a chance to draw azulejo ceramic tiles with blue markers and Post-it notes. And there is a display highlighting the Botanical Garden's century-long involvement with conservation in Brazil, mixed in with documents of Burle Marx's own explorations. A faded photograph from 1974 shows him in Amazonia, holding a newly discovered bromeliad; elsewhere you'll find a hefty chunk of pau-brasil wood, from the tree that gives the country its name.

The timing of this beautiful show seems both apt and awkward. Apt, since the climate crisis has spurred a renewed interest among young architects in landscape design — and a recent youth craze for succulents and tropical plants has made Burle Marx look positively hip. If you have to have an Instagram-bait show, better this than the Rain Room!
Awkward, since Burle Marx did much of his major work in government settings, and these days, the Brazilian government is not especially friendly to plants. The far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, has fired one of the country's top environmental officials and wants to strip-mine the Amazonian rain forest Burle Marx so loved; last month, deforestation rates in the Amazon surged to the highest level ever recorded. Brasília's Itamaraty Palace, one of Niemeyer's and Burle Marx's most important designs, now hosts a foreign minister who believes climate change is a left-wing conspiracy whose ultimate aim is to depress western economies for China's benefit. The new Brazilian government's environmental record has been so egregious that the American Museum of Natural History recently refused to host an event honoring Mr. Bolsonaro.

Walking through the show's profuse expanses of flowering plants and stuffing my nose into bromeliad petals, I had moments when I felt irresponsible for being so happy. As Brazil traverses a seemingly endless crisis — whose latest chapter includes a record crime wave in Rio, Burle Marx's hometown — the Botanical Garden transports us to a special, imaginary country, its culture nourished by influences from Europe and Africa and the Americas, where urban life enmeshes with unparalleled natural beauty. I love that Brazil; I want to live there; I know it doesn't exist.
The show has been billed as this institution's largest botanical exhibition ever.CreditBrittainy Newman/The New York Times
But those delirious utopias that Burle Marx designed, above all with Niemeyer and Costa in Brasília, have always been verdant visions of a future that never comes. What they can offer now, against a backdrop of what the Botanical Garden discreetly calls "acute conservation threats," is a horizon to dream toward, a little earthly taste of a life in common. Gardens, Burle Marx thought, had that much power. "The sight of that association of plants," he once said, "gives us the impression of a covenant for living together."

An earlier version of two picture captions with this article contained errors. A green and pink plant was misidentified in one of the images. It is a bromeliad, not a staghorn fern. Another picture caption misidentified the title of a painting by Roberto Burle Marx. It is "Untitled," from 1970; not Calcáreo, from 1966.

Oxnard council to consider 2020 ballot measure on term limits, campaign contributions
Oxnard is considering placing a measure on the March ballot that would set term limits, ban gifts and restrict campaign contributions for officials.
Oxnard council to consider 2020 ballot measure on term limits, campaign contributions Oxnard is considering placing a measure on the March ballot that would set term limits, ban gifts and restrict campaign contributions for officials.

When Oxnard voters pick a presidential candidate in the March primary, they might also get to decide on term limits and campaign contributions of their local leaders.
City staff is proposing to place a measure on the March 2020 ballot that would set term limits, ban gifts and restrict campaign contributions for elected officials. The proposed Oxnard Government Accountability and Ethics Act would also require the city to post certain contracts and financial reports on the website.
At Tuesday's meeting, the City Council will consider whether to place the measure on the ballot. The proposed measure is in four parts. It would:
Limit campaign donations for the mayor, city clerk and city treasurer to no more than $750 from an individual; no more than $1,500 from a political action committee. Limit campaign donations for a council member to no more than $500 from an individual; no more than $1,000 from a political action committee.
Prohibit any elected official or planning commissioner from accepting gifts of any value from lobbyists or contractors.
Limit mayor and council members to serving three four-year terms and change the current mayoral term from two years to four years.
Require certain city contracts and monthly financial reports to be posted on the city's website.
City Manager Alex Nguyen said the impetus for this came from a community survey conducted more than a month ago. The telephone survey of 600 residents selected randomly was meant to gauge the community's priorities. Of those polled, 77% supported such a government accountability measure.
"Several of the things people were very concerned about is accountability here," Nguyen said. "And I understand why that is, given the history. That's why I'm recommending these things to the council."
More: Signature gathering under way for Aaron Starr ballot initiatives for Oxnard
The survey also concluded that the majority of those polled supported a 1.5 cent sales tax and listed addressing homelessness and repairing streets as top priorities.
A portion of this ballot proposal mirrors a citizen effort to place five initiatives before Oxnard voters in November 2020.
Aaron Starr, who had led an unsuccessful campaign to recall four officials on the City Council, is gathering signatures for a set of ballot initiatives, including one that sets a two-term limit for the mayor and council members.
Under Starr's proposal, the mayor and council members would be termed out after serving eight consecutive years. Under Nguyen's proposal, the mayor and council members would be termed out after serving 12 consecutive years.
The two initiatives are similar. Both would allow the termed out official to run again after a two-year break. Both would change the mayoral terms to four years to be in line with council members' terms.
City Manager: Three terms 'important'
When asked why the city doesn't wait to see if Starr's term limit initiative goes through, Nguyen said he believes two four-year terms aren't enough.
Nguyen actually doesn't believe term limits will improve matters but he knows they tend to be favored among voters.
"I don't think there's evidence that term limits make anything better but if we're going to have term limits because people tend to vote for term limits, we want to make it more sensible. And I believe three terms is important," Nguyen said.
Starr declined to comment on Nguyen's proposed ballot measure. Starr's other ballot initiatives have to do with how city meetings are run, the duties of the city treasurer, the permitting process and prioritizing street paving.
If council agrees to place the government accountability act on the ballot, it would be the first time for Oxnard voters to consider campaign contribution limits.
More: Retired Air Force officer running for county supervisor against Carmen Ramirez
The proposal sets different donation limits for different officials. That's because council members are elected by voters of a neighborhood district while the mayor, city clerk and city treasurer are elected by voters of the entire city and therefore have larger campaigns.
The prohibition on gifts to city officials is not new. The city currently has an internal policy against accepting gifts but putting it before the voters protects the policy from future changes in city management.
"We have an internal policy of no gifts but it can be reversed immediately by the next City Council or next city manager," Nguyen said. "By putting it before the voters, it can only be reversed by voters."
The agenda for the 6 p.m. meeting at the Council Chambers, 305 W. Third St., also includes:
Consideration of selling the Oxnard Historic Farm Park to its nonprofit foundation.
Presentation to council from the police department on the use of drones.

Below denotes songs and artists of note featured on theBillboard Hot 100 (USA), Top 40 Radio (US), Hot Dance/Club Play (USA), Heatseekers Singles & Albums Charts (USA), UK Hot (UK), Japan and KPOP (South Korea) harts. Italicized items have been discussed on Melismatic.
The time has come to discuss the Bieber. Debuting at #2 is huge, and "Boyfriend" is suggesting Bieber on is the very cusp of quite possibly his biggest era yet. The song suggests his hair flipping cutesy days aren't exactly behind him but is an obvious attempt to transition himself as a career artist (a la Justin Timberlake from teen idol days of yore). The Biebs is no chump. He's well aware of his teen fandom status and has no qualms about milking it for all its worth (a duet with One Direction?), but at the same time, I'm not afraid to admit that there is an incredible musician inside of him that we're only seeing shades of at present. While "Boyfriend" (co-written by one-hit Mike Posner) is filled with ridiculous, quasi-whispered/quasi-rapped pickup lines and the repetition of the cooed "swag" (oh Sweet Mary, please make the "swag" trend STOP), once you get past that, quasi-falcetto chorus is quite minimalist and very hooky. Therein lays my issue with the single. Justin - I'm all about you being you, and if this "swagalicious" insistence is really you, then perhaps you really aren't my thing. But if you can get past the whole attempt to appeal at the masses with faux posturing (just 'cuz you roll with Usher, you don't have to do the "Yeahhh, girlll" bit) and continued exploring your vocal range, maybe we could be friends. Just saying.
Playing off the momentum of Usher and Chris Brown, Trey Songz collaborates with producer Rico Love (aka the "Turn the Lights Off" guy) with an aggressive midtempo with a driving drumbeat that allows him to show off his capable power pipes. "Heart Attack" sounds like it could have been material for either of those two artists and yet, it works well for Songz without compromising him as a legitamite R&B vocalist. Quite possibly his best mainstream bow to date.
Anyone else surprised by the re-entrance of Sean Paul back on the scene? This song, the second single from his fifth album, Tomahawk Technique, released back in Janaury, and was produced by Benny Blanco (Katy Perry, Britney Spears, frequently works with Dr. Luke). It doesn't differ too much from the Sean Paul's golden days of the early 00's ("Get Busy", anyone?) save for the the throwing of falscetto in the chorus. The song has already spent two weeks at #2 in the UK and recently splashed onto the charts Stateside. Sean Paul is certainly a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kind of artist, and this is both familiar and works for today's dance/pop market. Could this be his sixth Top 10 US single?
"Mr. 305" took some time off from guesting on every female artist RedOne has ever produced (and Enrique Iglesias) to provide the soundtrack single from the upcoming Men In Black threequel. "Back In Time" sees Pitbull take a brief break on relying on synth and floorstompin' beats by heavily sampling Mickey & Sylvia's "Love Is Strange". Unfortunately, I think most people will connect this song with the timeless film Dirty Dancing than some inevitably forgetable sequel. I'm not sure what is more of an insult -- Pitbull providing a single for a "blockbuster", the gratutious use of a great song, or the fact that we're actually talking about Men In Black III. Ugh.
I included this stomper back on my club set list for January. Hurrah for Mel being ahead of the curve. Still sounds as good as when I first heard it, even though the Dev/Catoracts production is a carbon copy of their other works. I definitely prefer Dev singing than her rap-talkin'. Enrique helps season this club cut enough so that it doesn't feel too derivative.

About Steve Koehler
Steven J. Koehler earned his Juris Doctor degree from the L.S.U. Law Center in 1980. He spent the next year as law clerk for the 14th Judicial District Court in Lake Charles. There he had an opportunity to what was successful in court by observing many lawyers, and by talking with the judges about the trials and motions which had just been heard.
After his clerkship ended, he moved back to Metairie, LA. For the first three years, he assisted a law firm which primarily did personal injury work. In 1984, he changed his focus to defending insurance companies, which he found more fulfilling. It afforded him more time in the courtroom than any other kind of civil law practice. Over the next ten years, he handled thousands of cases, often having three or four cases set for trial in a week. That was where he learned how to effectively organize his practice to be able to handle many cases at once.
In 1988, he joined the firm of Leefe, Gibbs & Koehler, and expanded his practice to include representing small businesses.
In 1991, he became a director of a small community bank.
In October of 2001, he established The Koehler Firm. He specializes in successions and estate planning.
He is happily married to his wife Susan, and has a son and a daughter.
I feel that God has blessed me by allowing me to work in a profession that I truly love, where I can help people resolve problems and still support my family.
My years of experience and organizational skills allow me to deliver quality work at a cost below most other attorneys.

The Counting On stars announced that they are expecting their second child, sharing the news on the Duggar family's Instagram on Thursday. They are already parents to 10-month-old son, Garrett.
"We are so excited for Joe, Kendra and big brother Garrett!!" the caption read, which was posted alongside a family photo of Joe with baby Garrett on his shoulders and Kendra holding a gold "baby" balloon sign.
The pair also released a statement on their family's website, expressing how happy they were to add another member into their family.
"We are ready to double the fun at our house! Being parents has already proven to be a greater joy than we had hoped or imagined," Joe and Kendra wrote.

Qualities and Care of Cordura Fabric
If you are searching for a high performance fabric, search no more. When compared with other fabrics where durability is a deciding factor, Cordura fabrics are ten times more durable than cotton duck fabric, two times more durable than standard nylon and three times more durable than standard polyester fabric. Most all apparel products made with Cordura fabric can be machine washed and dried on a low setting, while luggage, backpacks and upholstery can be spot cleaned with an approved spray cleaner.
Poly Twill Liner
Poly Twill Fabrics are often used for sturdy work clothing or durable upholstery because of its strength and durability. Twill also recover from wrinkles better than plain-weave fabrics do. When there are fewer interlacing, yarns can be packed closer together to produce high-count fabrics. In twill and higher counts, the fabric is more durable and air- and water-resistant.
Thinsulate is a trademark of the 3M Corporation, for a type of synthetic fiber thermal insulation used in clothing. The word is a portmanteau of thin and insulate. The material was first sold in 1979. Thinsulate fibers are about 15 micrometers in diameter, which is thinner than the polyester fibers normally used in insulation for clothing such as gloves or winter jackets. Advertising material for Thinsulate suggests that Thinsulate is more effective due to the increased density of fibers with decreased size of fibers compared with more traditional insulation. Like most insulation materials, the gaps between fibers not only reduce heat flow, but also allow moisture to escape.
Armor Pockets
Optional Feature: Armor-ready shoulder, elbow and back protector pockets.
Body armor sold separately

Power struggle in VfB Stuttgart undermine club's success
January 21, 2021 February 11, 2021 Anthony Craig 1 comment
Stuttgart is a progressive city with global brands like Mercedes or Porsche among others. The Swabians are very industrious. The common denominator for most Swabians is VfB Stuttgart. A team with tradition and history. Unfortunately, Stuttgart remain embroiled in a power struggle.
Thomas Hitzlsperger versus Claus Vogt
The power struggle is between sports director, Thomas Hitzlsperger, against president, Claus Vogt. The key issues are differences in interpretation of how to administer the club and transparency.
Hitzlsperger in an open letter addressed to the fans and club members criticized Vogt for lack of drive towards goals they agree upon.
Hitzlsperger maligned the president and his supporters for acting against the interest of the club, especially in the "privacy affair".
The privacy affair is about allegations that Stuttgart officials shared members' data to third parties. An external firm, Esecon was ordered by the president to investigate the scandal.
He wrote, "Claus Vogt ordered without an invitation to tender, a cost estimate, a project plan.and failed to exercise the care, competence and coordination in project management. The uncontrollably escalating costs led to the corporation having to support the association in order to prevent it from becoming insolvent."
Vogt reacted to the attack from Hitzlsperger, "several attempts were made to torpedo the work of the law firm Esecon, One can come to the impression that there are people/persons in and around the VfB who do not want this clarification.
Hitzlsperger apologized later for his choice of words, but the atmosphere remains charged. There is a rift in the club. They force Stuttgart fans and officials to choose Hitzlsperger's or Vogt's camp.
The contest for the presidency
They will elect the next president of Stuttgart in March. Hitzlsperger is among the contestants to unseat Vogt. The club advisory board will nominate two contestants to vie against each other.
Hitzlsperger is taking a risk for the presidency. What happens if he fails? The result could be disruptive for Stuttgart's strategic plans.
Stuttgart needs togetherness
Stuttgart needs a congenial atmosphere for officials, and members to co-exist side by side. First, the privacy affair needs resolving. Esecon will release the report in February.
The power struggle is a war of egos. Hopefully, who wins the contest in March will get to work on building Stuttgart's presence in the Bundesliga.

Q: How can I change focus if 2 or more notebooks are open? Having opened and executed a notebook using NotebookOpen and NotebookEvaluate, I want to return the EvaluationNotebook to the foreground

A: I think what you're asking for is something like this:
nb0 = EvaluationNotebook[]; nb =
 CreateDocument[
  ExpressionCell[Defer[Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]], "Input"]];
NotebookEvaluate[nb, InsertResults -> True];
SetSelectedNotebook[nb0];
1 + 1

(* ==> 2 *)

This uses SetSelectedNotebook to restore the initially saved nb0 as the current notebook after evaluating the new notebook nb.

Mars:A review and synthesis of general environments and geological settings of magma-H 2O interactions
Head, James W. and Wilson, Lionel (2002) Mars:A review and synthesis of general environments and geological settings of magma-H 2O interactions. Geological Society Special Publication, 202. pp. 27-57. ISSN 0305-8719
Official URL: https://doi.org/10.1144/GSL.SP.2002.202.01.03
The advent of a global cryosphere likely occurred very early in the history of Mars, and much of the available water and related volatiles (CO 2, clathrates, etc.) were sequestered within and below the cryosphere. This means that magmatism (plutonism and volcanism) as a geological process throughout the history of Mars cannot be fully understood without accounting for the interaction of magma and water (and related species) in both solid and liquid form. We review and outline the probable configuration of water and ice deposits in the history of Mars, describe environments and modes of magma-H 2O interaction, and provide specific examples from the geological record of Mars. Magma and water-ice interactions have been interpreted to have formed: (1) massive pyroclastic deposits; (2) large-scale ground collapse and chaotic terrain; (3) major outflow channels; (4) mega-lahars dwarfing terrestrial examples; (5) sub-ice-sheet eruptions and edifices; (6) pseudocraters; (7) landslides on volcanic edifice flanks; and (8) hydrothermal sites. The global nature of the cryosphere, its longevity, and the diversity of environments means that Mars is an excellent laboratory for the study of magma-H 2O interactions and the role of related volatile species.

While you are still young and carefree, you don't really think about life insurance too much. But as you get older and you responsibilities start to add up, the issue of getting life insurance surfaces more frequently. So, here is an objective look whether you need a life insurance policy.
Are There People Dependent Who Are Dependent On You?
If you are a single person with only financial responsibility to yourself, there is no point in getting a life insurance. Because who exactly is going to get the money when pass? Of course, if you want to leave your family or friends money, then by all means, get a policy. But remember, you'll need to pay it until the day you die.
However, if there are people who depend on you to take care of them financially, you definitely have to consider a life insurance that covers those needs. Given that you won't be able to fill your role as caretaker anymore, and they might not be in a position to take care of themselves, it's only logical that a life insurance policy gets established in your name.
How Big Should The Policy Be?
There are two main factors you need to look at before deciding on life insurance. The first element is your budget. Remember, you have to be able to comfortably afford these payments. Otherwise, you stand to lose the policy and all the money you've already put in if you fail to make payments down the line. So, your budget is going to be a big influence on how big your policy is going to be.
The second crucial factor is calculating how much your loved ones will roughly need when you are not there anymore. Naturally, this is going to be difficult, but it's definitely possible. In fact, work out a plan ahead of time. This way, your loved ones won't have to be caught off-guard in terms of surviving without you.
In some cases, a life insurance policy is going to be mandatory. For example, if you want to purchase a property. The bank or institution you borrow the money from might ask you to provide proof of life insurance. This way they can recoup their money if you happen to pass away before the agreed amount has been paid.
Essentially, the best life insurance policy can be very helpful in many ways. But if you don't have those responsibilities yet, maybe use your money differently.

《Woodstock 50》已取消[官方]
◎經過數月的法律和組織混亂、場地變化和猜測,《Woodstock 50》週年慶的主辦方正式宣布,活動取消。
◎Woodstock Music & Arts聯合創始人Michael Lang在一份聲明中指出,我們感到非常難過,一連串無法預料的挫折,使得我們無法按照預訂的優秀陣容和期待的方式,來舉辦一場音樂節,感謝藝人、粉絲和合作夥伴。
◎Woodstock原先計劃於8月16日至18日在紐約Watkins Glen舉行為期三天的音樂節,之後面臨重重障礙,包括與主要金主Aegis Dentsu Live的法律糾紛爭、場地許可等多項問題。
After months of legal and organization turmoil, venue changes, and speculation, organizers of the Woodstock 50th anniversary festival announced that the festival has officially been canceled.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Woodstock Music & Arts co-founder Michael Lang said:
"We are saddened that a series of unforeseen setbacks has made it impossible to put on a Festival we imagined with the great line-up we had booked and the social engagement we were anticipating. When we lost the Glen and then Vernon Downs we looked for a way to do some good rather than just cancel. We formed a collaboration with HeadCount to do a smaller event at the Merriweather Pavilion to raise funds for them to get out the vote and for certain NGOs involved in fighting climate change."
"We released all the talent so any involvement on their part would be voluntary. Due to conflicting radius issues in the DC area many acts were unable to participate and others passed for their own reasons. I would like to encourage artists and agents, who all have been fully paid, to donate 10% of their fees to HeadCount or causes of their choice in the spirit of peace. Woodstock remains committed to social change and will continue to be active in support of HeadCount's critical mission to get out the vote before the next election. We thank the artists, fans and partners who stood by us even in the face of adversity. My thoughts turn to Bethel and its celebration of our 50th Anniversary to reinforce the values of compassion, human dignity, and the beauty of our differences embraced by Woodstock," Lang added.
"The unfortunate dispute with our financial partner and the resulting legal proceedings set us off course for six weeks at a critical juncture, throwing a wrench in our plans and forcing us to find an alternate venue to Watkins Glen. The timing meant we had few choices where our artists would be able to perform. We worked hard to find a way to produce a proper tribute—and some great artists came aboard over the last week to support Woodstock 50—but time simply ran short. We are greatly disappointed and thank all of our supporters, including the team at Merriweather Post Pavilion and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. Woodstock's values of peace and tolerance are more important today than ever for all of us to stand for and we look to the future for ways to honor and celebrate these ideals," added Greg Peck, principal of Woodstock 50
Woodstock, which had originally been planned to take place as a major three-day music festival in Watkins Glen, New York from August 16-18, almost immediately faced obstacles, including a high profile legal battle with its primary financial partner Aegis Dentsu Live, after the Japanese marketing firm sought to cut ties with the fest.
As well, Woodstock faced permitting issues, after announcing its onsale date, an apparently fully booked artist lineup, and plans for ticket sales before securing mass gathering permits from the State of New York.
Organizers for Woodstock sued Dentsu after the company unilaterally announced that the festival had been canceled and withdrew more than $18m in financing from the festival's account. While Woodstock organizers were able to successfully argue that the festival could proceed, they were unable to secure a return of Dentsu's investment.
Woodstock also faced challenges in securing a venue. After its original location at Watkins Glen fell through, organizers attempted to relocate the festival to Vernon Downs, a harness race track in rural upstate New York, and in order to avoid the mass gathering permit from the state required for multi-day camping festivals, announced that the event would not offer camping.
However, with just a month left before the festival was due to start, Lang and company were unable to secure permits from the town, with town officials citing the lack of a complete safety plan and concerns over planning decisions for the fest, such as where the logistics of moving 60,000 people in and out of the festival grounds each day.
Last week, festival organizers revealed their Hail Mary play for the festival with a relocation to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbus, Maryland. While the venue was much smaller than had been initially planned for the event, festival organizers appear to have been hoping to salvage something from the festival by staging a one-day free event that would benefit several social advocacy organizations.
"While we were able to quickly eliminate the venue portion of the challenge to present Woodstock, it was just too late in the game," said Seth Hurwitz, chairman of I.M.P., owner of the 9:30 Club and The Anthem and operator of Merriweather Post Pavilion and the Lincoln Theatre. "Hopefully, with plenty of time to prepare, Merriweather will become the site of a future festival that captures the original vibe. A lot of people clearly wanted it to happen."

History in miniature
La Petite Belle, replica of La Salle's sunken ship, docked in Palacios.
Pam LeBlanc
pleblanc@statesman.com
From a distance, the 30-foot sailing ship docked in a marina in Palacios would probably look familiar to French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle.
The ship, a half-scale replica of La Salle's ship La Belle, which sank off the Texas coast in 1686, was built based on historic French records. But La Petite Belle, as the modern ship is dubbed, features a 30-horsepower diesel engine, a fiberglass hull, aluminum mast and nylon rope rigging. Fire extinguishers and life preservers, not goods to supply a new settlement, are tucked in her hold.
Researchers discovered the wreckage of La Belle in Matagorda Bay in 1995. They spent the next two years excavating it, staging their efforts out of the small coastal city of Palacios.
The local museum lacked the infrastructure to properly preserve and protect artifacts found at the dig, but the late Roberta Ripke, executive director of the Palacios Area Fund, wanted to make sure that the city's role in the recovery was not forgotten. She spearheaded the effort to build the ship replica.
Construction began in 2002, but stalled a few years later, after the hull was finished. The project was revived in 2011, she got masts in 2013 and sailed for the first time earlier this year.
The timing is good. A new exhibit, "La Belle: The Ship That Changed History," opens at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin on Oct. 25, and interest in the shipwreck is once again swelling.
La Petite Belle, which can be viewed in its berth in South Bay Marina at the end of Sixth Street in Palacios, is made of modern materials but looks like a type of 17th-century square rigger called a barque longue. She has seven sails, three masts, six cannons (which don't fire cannonballs) and brown and yellow rails. In accordance with tradition, builders placed a French coin under her main mast for good luck.
"It's cool. It gives you a feel for what it might have looked like or felt like in those days," says Ted Riccio, head of the committee that manages La Petite Belle. Riccio also helped with construction.
The ship was funded by the Palacios Area Fund of the Communities Foundation of Texas, which built her for about $106,000 and 2,500 hours of volunteer labor. It now belongs to the Palacios Area Historical Association, which operates the City by the Sea Museum in Palacios.
So far La Petite Belle has made only a few public appearances, including one at the city's La Salle Landing celebration on the Fourth of July. It takes at least four people to sail her.
The board that manages the replica hopes to schedule regular sailings, which may start later this fall, Riccio says. Ultimately she will be used as an ambassador, visiting coastal cities and teaching people about La Salle.
The original La Belle was one of four French ships led by La Salle in an expedition to establish a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River. The explorer overshot his target and landed in Texas. All four ships were eventually lost, and La Salle was murdered while marching east in his quest to find the Mississippi.
The City by the Sea Museum has a small exhibit about La Belle and its excavation and is raising money to expand it.
It costs about $6,000 a year to maintain La Petite Belle and pay for insurance, Riccio says. Donations may be made to the Palacios Area Historical Association; designate the money for La Petite Belle.

Microsoft appeal hearing to be broadcast on the 'Net
By Brad Gibson
Macworld	 Feb 12, 2001 4:00 pm PST
The upcoming appeal arguments between the federal government and Microsoft Corp. will be a broadcast first as audio of the hearings will be streamed live on the Internet.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said the audio broadcast would be distributed through a television network 'pool' and over the Internet on Feb. 26 and 27, "due to the widespread public interest in this case and the limited seating" in the courtroom.
The arguments will be available on the Web at ABC News online and C-SPAN Online. Other Web sites will be able to link to the streaming audio page via ABC News, the court said.
Seven appeals judges will hear some seven hours of arguments over two days on Microsoft's appeal of a lower court's ruling that the software giant should be separated into two entities. It will be the first live broadcast of D.C. Circuit proceedings.
The court will hear arguments on Microsoft's contention that U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who heard the original trial that lead to the breakup decision, showed bias against the company. After the trial, Jackson made comments about Microsoft and its chairman Bill Gates that the company says shows he was not balanced in his approach to the issues of the antitrust trial.

The wonderful thing about books, is that a choice few will continue to impact the world long after the author is gone. In honor of the late John Stott, I thought it be appropriate to bring to your attention one of the most impactful books Stott ever wrote and will certainly continue to impact the kingdom of God for future generations. It is a classic book on preaching entitled, Between Two Worlds and it is an outstanding book about the craft and purpose of preaching and how the preacher of God's Word is God's instrument to bridge the gap between the biblical world and the modern world. It is a must read for every preacher and would be an insightful read for those who just want to understand better this divine task. You can find it on sale here.

The structure of the soils under vine is remarkably varied, deriving as it does from the rocky features of the area. Essentially, it comes from the decomposition of limestone flakes from the hills (which sometimes overlay trachytic outcrops) and, in other cases, from alluvial deposits of marly soil mixed with sand.
In the Euganean Hills, olives are also grown and the vineyards are surrounded by splendid almond trees, forests of acacia and chestnut trees and small Mediterranean plants such as dwarf prickly pear cacti and brooms.
THE CRUS: ARQUÀ PETRARCA
The limestone soil of Arquà Petrarca gives our wines a very tangy flavour and great longevity.
In the Corte Borin, Coldivalle, Le Terrazze and Pajone holdings we cultivate Manzoni Bianco, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Fior d'Arancio grapes.
THE CRUS: MONTICELLI
From our vineyards at Monticelli we produce fresh white wines, as well as highly-scented reds that are rounded and well-balanced.
The Monte Archino, Vigna Bianca, Vigna Foscolo and Vigna Costa crus provide an ideal habitat for the Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.
THE FIOR D'ARANCIO GRAPE
The Fior d'Arancio grape of the Euganean Hills is the great passion of the Borin family; as long ago as the 1960s, when the Borins began producing wine, it was the main variety cultivated in the company's vineyards.
In the top vintages of the following decade, the Borins started drying their best grapes of this cultivar in order to produce an intensely flavoured dessert wine.
Starting in the '80s they studied – working together with the University of Padua – new winemaking techniques for making an elegant sweet sparkling wine.
In the early years of the new millennium, the family's experiments in the winery at Monticelli led to the release of a dry Fior d'Arancio: an innovative idea that obtained D.O.C.G. recognition in 2010.

Publishing a formal sustainability report is now standard business practice. More than 90 per cent of the Global Fortune 250 produce an annual report.
Firms can see real benefits from these reports. For example, companies that communicate strong sustainability performance experience lower regulatory risk and less employee turnover.
Yet firms could achieve much more through their sustainability communications.
Firms face two common pitfalls in their sustainability communications.
First, report content often doesn't clearly link sustainability to organizational performance. Companies may see sustainability communications as an exercise to meet stakeholder expectations, with little real connection to the core operations of the business. Additionally, sustainability and communications staff usually compose reports, sometimes with little input from other parts of the organization.
Second, the annual sustainability report is frequently the primary or only way that a firm communicates its sustainability performance. But that long, dense report may not be suitable for many stakeholders. And, a report release once a year doesn't allow for adequate engagement or evaluation.
Report production can look a limited, linear process.
When companies view reporting as an ongoing process ("reporting" rather than "report"), it becomes more powerful. Reporting can become a virtuous circle where actions are followed by evaluation and new efforts. Organizations can also shift from informing stakeholders to engaging them: the result is better relationships and insights.
Making sustainability reporting a cross-functional effort can tightly integrate sustainability with strategy, influencing organizational performance. Sustainability reporting becomes a powerful management tool, tightly linked to strategy.
Organizations need not abandon the annual report. But, they can view it as part of a larger platform for understanding and communicating organizational performance, rather than an end in itself.
NBS's framework shows the process of effective sustainability reporting. Building the report is tightly connected to stakeholder engagement, and followed by an evaluation process that informs the next cycle. Each stage considers connections to broader firm performance.
This summer, NBS will release a report and playbook based on research conducted by Drs. Brad Potter, Chris Dembek, and Jodi York of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Wesley Gee of Works Design, Canada. The researchers reviewed international and Canadian best practices in sustainability reporting and interviewed stakeholders involved in preparing and/or using sustainability reports. In developing their insights, the researchers were advised by a guidance committee that included managers from leading Canadian companies.
These resources show how to use the framework for action to make reporting an ongoing, strategy-relevant process. They take you beyond the common model of an annual report, providing easy-to-follow steps for companies to enhance the effectiveness of their sustainability reporting.
The playbook will help you assess the challenges in your current reporting process, and create action plans for overcoming those challenges. It also provides insights and case studies from sustainability reporting teams and internal and external stakeholders.
These resources are intended for companies at any stage of development of their sustainability reporting.
Different organizational functions can contribute too.
Accountants care about organizational performance. Increasingly, they see how sustainability reporting can contribute, and are becoming involved in identifying indicators and validating information.
At TransLink, Metro Vancouver's transit authority, finance is responsible for sustainability. Sustainability efforts such as climate change adaptation are embedded throughout the organization.
Communications & marketing departments can find innovative ways to share information that meet diverse stakeholder needs. Starbucks, Mango, and McDonald's Canada are just a few of companies who are leading by example.
ESG factors, trust, and social capital are increasingly important in reporting.
The following resources address the increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information, the importance of trust, and how the relatively new concept of social capital relates to reporting – particularly integrated reporting.

Sven: Places up for grabs
SVEN-GORAN Eriksson has revealed there are three places up for grabs in his England World Cup squad.
The Swedish head coach has already settled on 20 of his 23 players for the finals in Germany next summer but players such as Jermain Defoe, Kieran Richardson, Darren Bent and Jonathan Woodgate have yet to nail down a place.
Speaking at the German embassy after a tourism launch, Eriksson said: "I could pick at least 20 players now then I have to start thinking harder.
"I was very happy to see Jermain Defoe score the goal he did for Tottenham on Monday night, coming on and scoring like that. You look at Wayne Bridge and question how many games he will have for Chelsea, likewise Kieran Richardson at Manchester United.
"Jonathan Woodgate too, what will happen with him from now to the summer? There's plenty to think about.
"It's a decision you have to take in May when the league is finished and you balance up how many games they have played and what is the best. I can't decide that today."
Eriksson also backed the Football Association's call for more World Cup tickets for England fans.
He added: "Someone at the FA told me we will have maybe 100,000 fans out there, even though we may only get 4,000 tickets for our matches. That is amazing.
"I would call on FIFA to give us more tickets. It's more a job for David Davies and the directors of the FA but if I bump into (FIFA president) Sepp Blatter in a corridor somewhere I will ask him to listen to the pleas from the FA and give England and our fans more tickets if he can."
Who do you think Sven should select in his last three places? Have your say.

Q: How to kill a process generated through windows cmd line using c#? I have an windows application in C# which gets Android Logs (LOGCAT) and Android BugReport (BugReport).
To get these logs, i am using bat files with commands like.
For Bugreport,
adb bugreport >>C:\User\Desktop\androidUser\bugrep%dt%_%tm%.txt

For LogCat,
 adb logcat -long V >>C:\User\Desktop\androidUser\LogCat%dt%_%tm%.txt

dt and tm are timestamps.
I can run both of this commands at one (With two different buttons in aspx webpage) but if i want to stop only one of them then the problem arise.
The problem is that i can't kill the process using process name as its same for the both tasks. Another thing that i have tried is save the process id while executing the command and kill it but the pid associated while running the task is of cmd, so adb task keeps keeps running and is not killed as i wished.

A: Look into Process and ProcessStartInfo classes. You can launch applications with arguments which seems to be all you are doing. Can't you sidestep the need of .bat files altoghether? That would make tracking each process independently trivial.
Something along the following lines:
var dt = ....
var tm = ....
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("adb", $"bugreport >>C:\\User\\Desktop\\androidUser\\bugrep{dt}_{tm}.txt");
var bugReportingProcess = Process.Start(startInfo);

Sometimes, arguments are only parsed correctly if quoted:
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("adb", $"\"bugreport >>C:\\User\\Desktop\\androidUser\\bugrep{dt}_{tm}.txt\"");

And now killing the correct process is easy:
if (!bugReportingProcess.HasExited) bugReportingProcess.Kill();

Greenpages contributor Jen McLaughlin interviews party candidates in advance of the Ontario election. Her summary of the NDP platform is below.
The NDP platform is called the Plan for Affordable Change and its focus is jobs and health care, in an attempt to make life affordable. This includes an Affordable Green Choices Plan and a Change that Works for Rural Ontario.
I interviewed two candidates from the NDP Party: Nik Spohr from the Halton riding and Karen Gventer from the Dufferin-Caledon riding. Below are their answers, offering additional explanation of the NDP party platform.
The NDP party will ensure that the government is purchasing local products to build Ontario transportation, construction, local food processing, among other services. The party will commit to "Buy Ontario" first, only purchasing out of province if resources can't be found in Ontario.
What incentives does the party propose for individuals choosing the more sustainable products or services?
The NDP party will help people who want to make their homes more energy efficient. The party will offer rebates of up to $5,000 for people who want to retrofit their homes. By ensuring that life is more affordable, the party hopes to make it easier for individuals to live sustainably.
Assist farmers to market/promote their local food.
Your platform says you will ban junk food advertising aimed at children. Does this include fast food restaurants like McDonalds?
The NDP wants to amend the Consumer Protection Act to prohibit commercial advertising of "unhealthy food and drink" targeting children under the age of 13. The key word here is "targeting". The party wouldn't be banning the advertising of unhealthy food and drink outright- only those advertisements aimed at children, who are in an early-developmental state and highly susceptible to the addictive nature of these products. Both Nik and Karen agree that this would indeed include advertising by companies like McDonalds.
The NDP platform for transportation includes a transit-fare freeze over four years in exchange for a 50-50 budget funding model between municipalities and the province. The party will ensure transit models work for the community and not-for-profits first, and will support a comprehensive strategy focused on making roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians. An important party principle includes providing municipalities with more input into decisions. The NDP would work with municipalities to build public transit that makes sense for the individual communities.
The NDP party will cancel recent cuts to the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program, invest in the development of a provincial breast-feeding strategy and pilot four birthing centers run by midwives. By capping executive salaries at $300,000, $80 million could be diverted to programs like these, ensuring the programs will be funded.
On top of the programs outlined above, the NDP plans to support prescribing authority to naturopaths, as it is necessary for them to maintain access to natural or botanical substances.

Examples of ethical investments: wind turbine farms and facilities.
Examples of unethical investments: government bonds for nations with standing armies.
If you give your money to a mutual fund or hedge fund that puts money into public stocks and bonds, that's super speculation.
Why Super Speculation? Because there is a 99 pct certainty that you are 3rd in line to get paid with whatever earnings the fund generates with your money.
First the fund itself has to get paid. They take money off the top.
Then the person who makes the investment decision has to be concerned about keeping their job. You see if the fund doesn't outperform its peers or comp indexes, then the person who is responsible for the fund is out of a job.
Do you think that person cares more about putting a roof over his family's head or you? Which means when push comes to shove, unless there are strict limitations, that fund manager is going to take the chances necessary to outperform his comps. And I can tell you that its par for the course to "go down swinging" than it is to take a called 3rd strike. Meaning, they risk your capital in hopes of keeping their jobs if that's the only way to keep their jobs.
