Schiff Outmaneuvers Trump & Tweets Direct Evidence To America
Gloria Christie
Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) has risen to the top of the Democratic party as a strong leader. After Donald Trump's raging erratic actions, people are hungry for someone to stand up against the president's terrible actions. Schiff's comeback was beautiful.
In a morning tweet, Schiff pointed out that Trump's acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney clearly stated that the president offered the Ukrainian president a deal difficult to refuse — a "quid pro quo." That is, he offered President Volodymyr Zelensky something for something else.
In this case, POTUS told the Ukrainian he wanted him to announce on television an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden's son. In return, Zelensky would get the military aid he direly needed to fight off the Russians.
Schiff tweeted:
'Trump's Chief of Staff admitted military aid was withheld from an ally to get their help with an investigation, which could help Trump politically. When challenged with this quid pro quo, Mulvaney said it happens all the time. "Get over it," he said. Never.'
Then, Schiff referred to The Washington Post White House Reporter Josh Dawsy's tweet about Trump's reference to the long-time civil servant and impeachment witness Bill Taylor. POTUS claimed there was "no quid pro quo:"
'A statement from WHITE HOUSE after Trump admin pick Bill Taylor testified all day: "President Trump has done nothing wrong — this is a coordinated smear campaign from far-left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats waging war on the Constitution. There was no quid pro quo."'
After that, Schiff denounced the president's attack on Taylor:
'Ambassador Taylor went to West Point, served in Vietnam, and left retirement to take this assignment at Secretary Pompeo's request. Far from being a "radical unelected bureaucrat waging war on the Constitution," he proved today to be among its most staunch defenders.'

I'm was born in Paradise, CA and raised in Chico, CA. Last night I dreamt that I had to decide between 1 of 4 pugs to save from the fires. The first pug was perfectly healthy, a show-worthy pug, an adorable specimen, healthy and whole. The second one was missing an eye and at least 10 years old. The third pug was 3 years old, with a tongue that permanently hung from his mouth at least 4 inches. The fourth pug as 7 years old and deaf. I knew the likelihood of survival for any of these creatures was minimal. In the dream, I kept thinking I needed so save the pug that had the highest potential to live, the one without deformity. But what about the others? All 4 of them were sitting in a row, waiting for me to make a decision over which 1 to save. As I felt the heat from the flames get closer and the sky turned darker, the stress of which pug to save woke me up. Asleep on my couch, Katie was next to me snoring. I tried to wake her and explain that I was having nightmares about the fire, but she was too groggy to fully understand. This morning, as I recounted for Katie my decision about which pug to save, I started sobbing again.
These fires are devastating. As of right now, there are 23 confirmed fatalities, 110 missing, over 2,600 structures destroyed. I have an uncle, a cousin, countless friends, and their families that have lost their homes, pets, and everything they value in their lives. I spent much of Thursday watching evacuation updates, worried about the wind blowing fire down the hill toward the rest of my family and friends. I knew the possibilities were slim, but that doesn't change the fear and potential for loss. This fire is still burning, only 20% contained. School is canceled until after Thanksgiving for the school districts in Butte County. I feel entirely helpless where I am, a fact that isn't being dulled by passing time through sleep. Which pug do you save? Which fire do you fight?
Today, I spoke with my grandma and my grandpa. I haven't talked to them in a very long time. With Katie coming out, I honestly haven't known how to talk to them. I built this wall in my mind preventing my ability to explain my life to them because I was afraid of judgement. I have also been afraid of the questions I don't have the energy to answer about Katie. This year, I've had to retreat into myself, pick my battles. With these fires, I really felt a need to talk to each of them, to tell them that I miss them and that I'm here. I knew they would each know how my family is doing, what's needed for those who have lost everything. It felt so good to connect back to them, to call Katie by her name and not really worry about whether they understood who I was talking about. It's strange to just talk about Katie without some sort of conversation about the fact they both watched me marry Kyle, but this is where we are. My mom once told me Grandpa now has rainbow suspenders. I forgot to ask him on the phone, but even if it's not accurate, I really love the image of him in rainbow suspenders. That is a show of love I will never be able to translate completely for all of you by writing about it. Sometimes it really does take heartbreak to bring you back to your family.
All of that said, I am proud to be someone who can continue to write that I was born in Paradise. I'm proud to be from a community that is rallying so passionately and selflessly around those that have lost everything. I'm relieved that my loved ones were not injured and are accounted for. I'm so sorry for those that have lost more than mine. It's in times of need that you really learn who is there for you, who has value. I've seen this first hand over the last year more than any other time in my life. Paradise is seeing that now. Chico is My Hometown.

Baseline Magazine recently published an article on the Product Development Success Index, the result of a study conducted by 3Pillar Global in association with the Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.
In the article, 3Pillar President and CEO David DeWolf identifies and explains the key takeaways from the study, which has been featured in the implementation of PDSInsights.com. PDSInsights is an educational platform that aims to help organizations identify (and then strengthen) the weak spots in their software product development process.
The study reveals that the most important characteristics in a successful product development company aren't the hard skills; DeWolf notes that success is more closely linked to the soft skills. The most outstanding and crucial "soft" component is a company's culture, which must allow "for collaboration, loyalty, and teamwork, as well as discipline" in order to be innovative.
The majority of subjects in the study only made a "C" letter grade in successful strategies. This article explains the general findings and indices of the Product Development Success Index as well as their significance.

All of us saw Us this weekend
Box office round up
By Matthew Razak February 20, 2020
Jordan Peele's Us absolutely destroyed the Box Office in every way possible this weekend, pulling in $70.25 million. That's mind-blowlingly better than expectations had it at and drove a hefty $18,778 average per theater. The box office is just insane considering the fact that Us is an R-rated, live-action, original horror film. In fact, when you look at those films nothing even comes close to touching Us, with A Quiet Place at $50.2 million the closest competitor. The only other live-action, original film to ever beat out Us was Avatar, way back in 2009 (ignoring inflation) and that didn't have an R hampering its box office.
Obviously, word of mouth is going to count a lot for how well Us continues to perform since its rating and genre restrict its audience a bit. That's how Get Out turned into a truly massive hit, and given the positive reception to the movie from critics and audiences, I think we'll see the same thing here, possibly better, considering the head start the movie has given this huge opening.
Anyway, Peele is now a bonafide hit-maker and it's going to be fun to see what he does with his increasing power in Hollywood. I'd love to see him branch out a bit from horror. I think he'd make a fantastic thriller and, honestly, wouldn't mind another comedy at some point.
1. Us – $70,250,000
2. Captain Marvel – $35,021,000
3. Wonder Park – $9,000,000
4. Five Feet Apart – $8,750,000
5. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World – $6,533,000

Singaporean runs orphanage in Vietnam to help street kids
HO CHI MINH CITY — When he lost his mother to stomach cancer seven years ago, Singaporean Poh Wei Ye took a six-month break to travel around South-east Asia and worked with various non-governmental organisations to help underprivileged children.

By Siau Ming En
On the last leg of his trip, he returned to Vietnam and decided to stay on to set up an orphanage in Vung Tau, just outside Ho Chi Minh City.
Mr Poh, 33, recalled: "(During) those six months, I fell in love with helping the kids. I felt that in developing countries like Vietnam and Cambodia, the kids are very vulnerable."
The former corporate finance executive is among thousands of Singaporeans based in Vietnam.
The opportunities for Singaporeans to work in Vietnam was highlighted by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday, when he arrived there for a four-day official visit.
Mr Poh, now married to a Vietnamese translator and father to a three-year-old son, said that the work he does in Vietnam surprised some of his Singaporean friends at home.
While there were those who were supportive, others said that he should "move on with life" and get "a normal job". However, the Vietnamese people's "willingness to accept" him, and their hospitality and warmth were, and still are, a big draw.
Mr Poh also wanted very much to help the children who were wandering the streets without a home. "Adults with bad intentions can do anything to them," he said. The boys may be roped in as runners for drug peddlers, while the girls may be made to provide sexual services for men, he added.
In 2011, he set up the Thi An Orphanage — its name means "to accept everyone" — together with a Catholic nun in Vung Tau.
Vung Tau was chosen because of its proximity to his wife's hometown in Dong Nai, which is a two-and-a-halfhour drive away.
Mr Poh said that the children in the city get more help and resources, so he was looking to help those living in the provinces.
The initial setup of the orphanage cost him US$10,000 (about S$14,000), and he had to use the money left by his mother to cover these costs. They took in just three children at first, but now they provide shelter to 20 children aged five to 16.
The total operating costs have likewise gone up, to about US$35,000 last year. These include providing allowances for the four nuns who work there. To keep the place going, Mr Poh set up a private firm, Blessed Discoveries, to coordinate trips by students and companies who would like to carry out activities related to their corporate social responsibility missions in Vietnam. The firm is arranging transport and accommodation for a group of National University of Singapore students heading there in May, for instance.
There are no plans to expand the orphanage. "We don't have the extra finances, (so) taking in more (children) will not be easy," he explained.

Israel Swimming Association: a vision towards success
World Junior Open Water Swimming Championships 2018
Eilat, Israel
all photos credit: Yaniv Cohen
Latest edit:
FINA Communications Department
The Israel Swimming Association has entered a new era and has been deploying additional resources to reach success with the ambitious mission to win an Olympic medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The path will be long and challenging but the national Federation is committed towards aquatic sports and has been demonstrating this new vision in Eilat, the city on the Red Sea currently hosting the FINA World Junior Open Water Swimming Championships.
ISA Chairman Simon Davidson
More precisely, the Association has appointed a new Head Coach, Luka Gabrilo, a former international swimmer from Switzerland. Gabrilo took over as National Team Coach in September 2017 and progress are already being noticed.
"David Marsh suggested me to take on the position when I lived and worked in the USA with him. Seeing the potential and the organisation here in Israel I decided to take this opportunity and I think this was the right choice. I can already appreciate the progress and it is a very interesting journey.", said Gabrilo who was on site to supervise and support the Israeli team in Eilat.
"The country is dramatically developing in terms of sport and it is great to feel part of this process.", he continued.
"I started to get involved a bit more with the open water team this year only. I am the head of the national centre where the team is training and I am also the head coach of the Association. This year we really understood that we need to have more synergy between our swimming and open water swimming teams because they need more technical training and training in the traditional pool as well. And at the same time, the traditional swimming pool swimmers have to understand that there is a huge opportunity for them to branch off to open water swimming. This is definitely one of my goals this year, to bring more athletes into open water. This is going to be the biggest task!"
Developing on the current situation, Gabrilo added:
"At the moment we have maybe 6 swimmers who are specialised in open water but I want to increase the interest for this discipline because we have some amazing kids and a very successful season behind us. I am particularly targeting the girls with special projects tailored towards them. The sport culture in Israel in general has to improve"
"We want to bring open water in Israel and really create awareness around this discipline. The competition in Eilat is a testimony of these efforts. There are already plenty of amateur open water competitions across the country but we need to centralise and professionalise all of this."
ISA Head Coach Luka Gabrilo
Assessing the team present in Eilat and the names that stood out, Gabrilo said:
"Our boy Orr Horev Levy did really well yesterday in the 5km. He managed to rank fourth which was impressive. I only saw him swimming twice so when I heard he was fourth I was really impressed. It was an amazing surprise and very encouraging. Of course, the conditions in Eilat are perfect, no waves, flat and warm water."
"The two boys swimming the 10km, Ido Gal and Yonatan Sharon Rosin, are pretty good too. But the competition calendar has been packed this season and as you know in swimming you have to train every day so it makes the logistic very complex."
Born and raised in an aquatic family with an Olympian swimmer for mother and an Olympian water polo player for father, Gabrilo previously coached the Swiss national team and then moved to the United States, working with David Marsh, an Olympic head coach in the U.S.

On the face of it, such efforts double as an opportunity to practically reconsider the perennially fraught relationship between the NDP and the labour movement and also serve as an opportunity to test possible relations of solidarity within an expanded labour movement. The bill's development process gives workers and their organizations agency as policy architects. What's more, it enables cultural workers to contribute to policy development that extends beyond their immediate interests. "It's nice to be able to allow our members, who have a unique ability to grab attention, a chance to participate in something like this, which might benefit a broader range of workers," says Marit Stiles, director of public policy and communication forACTRA, an early Urban Worker Strategy supporter.

Ralph Nader: Obama Will Face Primary Challenge In 2012
Thu, 12/16/2010 - 14:04 — Dave Culver
Section(s):
Calling the White House tax deal with Republicans the "last straw," Ralph Nader predicted that President Obama will face a primary challenger in 2012.
Save Obama's presidency by challenging him in the Democratic Presidential Primaries
Note to "the Left": Obama Hates You
Christopher Weber, Politics Daily
Nader, a third-party presidential candidate in the four most recent elections, told The Hill a Democrat will step up in two years to represent the progressive wing of the party. It's "just a question of how prominent a person."
The 76-year-old consumer advocate did not commit to running again himself, but said he hoped someone new would come along to stand for liberals.
Save Obama's presidency by challenging him in the Democratic Presidential Primaries, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Tikkun/Network of Spiritual Progressives
Those of us who worry that a full-scale Republican return to power in 2012 would be a disaster not just for those hurting from the Republican-policy-inspired economic meltdown but also the environment, social justice and world peace believe it is critical to get Obama to actually become the candidate that most Americans believed they elected in 2008.

No matter how fiercely Obama demonstrates his determination (consistent with his longstanding "deeply conservative" instincts) to govern from the center-right, a dedicated cadre of liberals and progressives will persevere with the line that it's our own damn fault. This is a mistaken and dysfunctional narrative.

Building a custom home provides the perfect opportunity for your creativity to flourish, and it all starts with the floor plan. Embrace the opportunity to create a plan that works with your lifestyle to become the basis for your dream home.
A floor plan is an overhead diagram or design of your home's layout, drawn to scale. It allows you to map out exactly how you want the walls and rooms arranged, and to see how furnishings and appliances will fit into the space with which you are working. A well-designed floor plan makes all the difference between a crowded home and a comfortable one.
What are the key characteristics of a functional floor plan?
If you already know the location of your new home, consider views and placement when planning rooms and windows. For instance, you might want your kitchen window to face the sunrise, or the driveway to face south (to make for less shoveling of snow in the winter).
Research creative ways to utilize extra space. Look into building in-wall cabinets and bookshelves, or perhaps a tiny playhouse under the stairs.
Rooms should be easy to access and not so unique that they cause frustration. Spaces should flow intuitively from one to another.
Each room has a purpose, but, for the most part, should be easily convertible. For instance, try not to design a bedroom so that it could never be an office, or vice versa. Not only will this increase flexibility, it will make the home easier to sell should you ever desire to do so.
It is important to think ahead and consider the purpose and function of each room. For instance, it might be helpful if the dining room and kitchen are near one another.
6. Maximize the use of light.
Installing extra windows and skylights increases the natural light in your home, which is not only beneficial to your health and well being, but can also save money on your electric bill.
While there are many ways to maximize space, the truth is, sometimes you just need a bigger area. Consider the size of your family, how and where you like to spend time, and how much space you need. Adjust room sizes accordingly.
8. Fitting to your lifestyle.
If you plan on having a lot of company over, pay attention to your entertaining rooms. If multi-generational living is a possibility for your family, consider main-floor bedrooms. Think and plan ahead so you don't regret any decisions.
It is important that you plan for closets, storage areas, etc. so that you won't be forced to store large or seasonal items (such as holiday decor) in public areas.
10. The balance between architecture and practicality.
Custom home building is all about finding creative ways to design the perfect space, but don't let the details overshadow practicality. Consider expenses, safety precautions, etc.
How do you create a home floor plan?
Generally speaking, you aren't responsible for creating your own blueprints. Once you locate a property, locate a licensed architect who will work with you to design a floor plan. The ideal company is one that provides design/build services, which means they coordinate the site analysis, floor plan designs, hand-rendered elevations, and final construction blueprints. Sheffield Homes offers design/build services by experts who work hand-in-hand with you throughout the entire homebuilding journey, assisting with everything from floor plans to exterior finishings.
Sheffield Homes is dedicated to providing homeowners and home builders with outstanding service and quality construction that transcend the mainstream. We serve homeowners in the Denver metro area and northern Colorado. If you have further questions regarding your custom home, contact us today.

Jose Silvestre Natividad, President, Sunwest Water and Electric Co., Philippines
SuwecoRenewableshydrobrownfieldwindwatersolar powersustainableclean energy
Jose Silvestre Natividad, President of Sunwest Water and Electric Co., Philippines, talks about his belief in the business of renewable energy, commenting that hydro has a competitive advantage in the Philippines and incredible potential. He also emphasizes that Suweco endeavors to accelerate renewable energy development and strives to make a difference through the implementation of its projects.
In this critical time of high energy demand, which roadmap do you believe the Philippines should follow? What is the ideal energy mix?
Considering the challenges the country is currently facing, particularly on the existing capacities, I believe that the most feasible roadmap for the Philippines should be the one that focuses on full capacities. And these challenges are the direct consequences of the implementation of the privatization of the power assets. However, with the advent of the EPIRA law in 2001, from the monopoly of the two major power providers the Aboitiz Group and the Lopez group, many other player came into the sector.
There is currently a huge potential for the power industry in the Philippines. Having said that, the ideal energy mix is the one that combines conventional energy and renewables. The Philippines is extremely blessed with natural resources. All the different types of renewable energy sources can be found and produced here in the Philippines. The government needs to stay focused on prioritizing the development for renewable energy. Developing renewable energy not only provides local communities the opportunity to experience development, but it is also a catalyst for the economical activities throughout the entire archipelago.
In Sunwest Water and Electric Company (Suweco), after three years of development, we have experienced immigration. Typically, in some areas where there is no development, emigration is a natural step taken by people in the communities where there is no work. Lack of development translates to no jobs. Hence, the development of indigenous sources of power, such as renewable energy mostly found in rural areas, is a win-win strategy as this will spur economic activities in these areas and generate jobs. Even the environment is protected.
After your two hydro-plants became operational in Catanduanes, the region became the first Green Province in the country and also one of the few in the world to be almost 100 percent dependent on renewable energy. What has the process been and what have been the main challenges you experienced?
The main challenges in developing hydropower plants are both technical and political: technical in the sense that at the end of the day, we are playing games with nature. For example, we have an average of 25 typhoons a year in the Philippines that normally devastate areas where there are plants.
On the political side, we have a lot of room for the improvement in terms of bureaucracy. At least with the current administration we are finally starting to focus on important matters. It is so simple: we basically need continuity in the policies implemented by the government. Where there is a law, we will implement it, but there are many policies and procedures that are not yet being implemented, or worse, that are conflicting with each other.
Today in the Philippines it is easier to build a new coal plant than to develop renewable energy sources. But as I have mentioned, we see hope and we are starting to see more positive steps being taken by the government when it comes to renewable energy.
What were Suweco's reasons for the initial entry into the hydro arena?
Because we believe 100 percent in the business of renewable energy! Hydro has a competitive advantage: given the country's vast hydropower potentials, more than 10 percent of electricity requirements will be supplied by hydropower generation.
Water is a national resource, however, foreign companies are allowed to invest and develop hydro in the Philippines. As the President of Suweco, a Filipino company, what is your perspective and do you believe this fosters healthy competition?
Competition is essential for the benefit of the country. There is a new generation of businessmen where competition is accepted as a method of improvement, which enables the industry to expand, so we consider it as a healthy competition.
Suweco currently has a portfolio of 59 projects in different stages of development. These projects are expected to generate a total capacity of around 280MW in the next decade. Where do those projects stand today?
Our business model employs a programmatic approach. Suweco can do a project from A to Z. We conceptualize, develop and operate. Four of these projects will be operational very soon and one is under construction. We also do feasibility studies and detailed engineering of the other projects in the pipeline. By year 2020 we foresee the full development will be completed.
What are Suweco's overall market ambitions?
Our market ambition is to move forward and keep on moving forward, building small plants one after the other. We don't put all our eggs in one basket, because in the Philippines there are so many different weather conditions that it is simply too risky to operate in only one location. We have 2MW to 10MW power plants on many different islands, but we manage those multiple small projects through a central and lean organization.
Regarding developers following different investment strategies, how do you rate the financial muscle of Suweco?
Suweco is very flexible in terms of financing. We are composed of 20 companies, or rather 20 different joint ventures in the Sunwest Group, so we all have a balance sheet. At this scale our operating plan will finance all the activities of those 20 different companies. Being part of the group, Suweco gains competitive advantage from the synergies within the group. For example, each year we see that some companies within our group end up compensating the low earnings of the other companies. Last but not least, we all work and receive a lot of support from the BDO, a Filipino bank that is very committed to renewable energy.
What is Suweco's direction in terms of performance indicators?
We are not so far away from our industry benchmark. Actually, I do feel that we are going to reach our energy industry standards in three years time. Moreover, in five years Suweco will also be an important player in solar and wind.
As an investor, you seem to favor capitalizing on "brown field" opportunities existing in the Philippines, having recently said that Suweco needs to maximize on the existing infrastructure facilities. Why have you taken this strategic choice? What impact do you expect to have on your portfolio?
In the Philippines we divide the capacity in two ways: connected to the grid or not connected. Not connected are the SPUG (Small Power Utilities Group) areas that require the highest need of development, particularly renewable energy development. These areas are subsidized by the government and need a lot of help; they are the last assets yet to be privatized by the government. Suweco therefore, identifies attractive "brown field" opportunities that are in line with the company's vision. Suweco endeavors to accelerate renewable energy development and strives to make a difference through the implementation of its projects with the most impact. Lastly, we focus on promoting inclusive growth by bringing electricity in the SPUG areas or other rural areas that are not currently being well serviced by the national grid.
What is Suweco's competitive edge? What do you see as your key success factors?
One of our main advantages is that we have been in the remote areas since seven years ago; we were the first ones. In regard to our competitive edge, as compared to others developers we do a project from A to Z. Suweco has management and technical teams composed of professional with over 90 years of combined experience. We gain expertise in managing individual political climates in the areas in which we operate. Also, given the in-house design team coupled with its in-group constructions experience and the capability to secure all the necessary permits, we have an edge within the power industry, which results in valuable speed-to-market. We have also a fully integrated operation, which allows a good level of flexibility that enables it to act promptly and address the demand. With our operational plants, I believe we have shown the world that we are indeed serious. And Suweco has achieved its current stature as the leading purely renewable energy player in the industry in the span of seven years.
What are your ambitions for Suweco in the Philippines? Where would you like to see the company in five years from now?
Suweco aims to complete all of the projects in our portfolio. Slowly but surely, we are going to reach the dream of having 300MW capacity. We are not aiming to have a large presence in the mega cities where the big players are already dominating; rather, we want to be leaders in the more rural areas that we are serving, in partnership with those communities that are less developed today. We really envision ourselves to be the preferred and responsible provider of water and energy, catalyzing socio economic and environmental development in the countryside. Also, a forerunner in renewable energy development that creates the enabling conditions to accelerate the wider utilization of the country's water, wind, and solar resources for power generation as a sustainable and reliable source of clean energy for every Filipino.

A study reports that smokers face a relative risk of dying from lung cancer 24 times higher than non-smokers, and a relative risk of only 1.4 times of dying of heart disease. How important are these differences? If you have no idea, then the module Measuring Risk in Epidemiology is for you. The module introduces key measures of risk, shows how they're calculated, and discusses how to interpret them when you encounter them in reports and news stories.

UK to Put Higher Emphasis on Cybercrime Prevention
KEYWORDS cyber security / cyber threats / International cyber security / international security / UK Security
The UK is to develop a new emergency response unit to help give individuals and companies instant advice when their computer systems and networks come under sustained attack, according to an article from The Guardian.
The proposal is one of several announced by the Cabinet Office, now when the government says threats from cyberspace should be given tier-one priority. The Ministry of Defence is also planning to develop a "cyber reserve" of specialists from the private sector to give the military some backup, the article says.
However, cyber experts say the government is spending too much on developing sophisticated "top-end" cyber knowhow instead of informing the public about how to make their computers less vulnerable.
The following is an excerpt from The Guardian's article:
In 2010, the coalition pledged £650m to develop new cyber systems over four years, but less than £400,000 is to be spent on the Get Safe Online project, which offers basic advice about computer security.
Iain Lobban, the director of the eavesdropping and electronic spy centre GCHQ, in Cheltenham, has said 80% of attacks could be thwarted if individuals took more care.
"You could take £1m out of the budget of GCHQ and they wouldn't notice," said Professor Peter Sommer. "That kind of money would have a transforming effect. While much of the government's work is well thought out, they still underestimate the extent to which some breaches are the fault of humans and not the result of external cyber criminals and spies.
"They also underplay the need to educate consumers and small businesses, both to protect themselves and to stop their machines being taken over as part of botnets, which then attack others. Out of the total cybersecurity budget, less the £400,000 goes to the main public information service, GetSafeOnline. That is less than 0.1%."
The Cabinet Office minister, Francis Maude, set out some of the government's plans in a written ministerial statement to mark the first anniversary of the national cyber security strategy.
He said progress was being made but quoted from a survey that suggested more than 93% of large corporations, and 76% of small firms had suffered a cyber security breach in the last year.
A national reporting centre for fraud and internet crime called Action Fraud had received 46,000 reports from the public in the last 12 months, he said.

It was another day at the ranch, training horses and working 15-hour days. And then the last person I ever expected showed up: Lake McCain, a Marine, tall, ripped - and the best friend of my dead fiancé. Cal died to save Lake, and now Lake claims that he carries a debt to me that he can never repay.
I wanted to brush him off. But then my mom, the manager of the ranch, went and hired him. We spend hours working together with the horses. Lake doesn't say much. He's layered and dark, and he tries to seem shallow and simple. But he isn't. There are things under his surface that matter. He works, quiet and strong, and never once lets me down.
That's until he confesses that he may be falling in love with me. I can't deny that there is something between us. But a relationship? I just can't. I've used up all my chances at love. My past relationships have ended in death or disaster, and now I have to live with all of that.
I'm Riley James, and there are depths to Lake - depths to myself - that I don't think I'll ever fully understand.

The Greek flautist Lamia became a courtesan and eventually the beloved of Demetrius I, king of Macedon (reigned 294–288 B.C.E.). Known for her wit and talent, the Athenians consecrated a temple of Aphrodite in Lamia's name to gain favor with Demetrius. She amassed a small fortune and funded an art gallery—thought to be the second in history—at Sicyon. Lamia's exploits are documented in Plutarch's life of Demetrius (circa C.E. 75) and The Deipnosophists of Athenaeus (flourished circa C.E. 200).


Pat Orr was born in Cairo, Georgia. She Graduated from Valdosta State College with a B.S., from Georgia State University with an M. S, and Nova University with a Reading Specialist Degree. She taught school in grades 1-8 for forty years and taught drama all of those years and for the last ten years of retirement. She has directed for schools, churches, and community theaters. Her favorite venue has been TOSAC and her favorite show is The Sound of Music. She considers the best of times as those when the lights come up on another production with another group of young people.
Kimsey Hodge has been a part of TOSAC since 2001 when she moved here from Clemson, South Carolina. The first play she acted in was Man of La Mancha. Since then, she has acted, sung, and directed her way through many shows. She has two sons, Mason and Jax, who grew up in the TOSAC theater. Kimsey teaches 6th grade Reading at MacIntyre Park Middle School and teaches/coaches Odyssey of the Mind (OM) at Scholars Academy. Drama and OM may be her two passions, but her two sons – one at Georgia Tech and the other at Scholars Academy – are the reasons she breathes.

The Grand is a hilarious improvisational comedy about professional poker, in the tradition of Best in Show and This is Spinal Tap.
I just saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was hard to get a ticket to the show and I waited in line for a while. I was lucky to get in because it was raining. But once I got inside, I forgot all about being wet because I was laughing too hard.
Now let me just say that I'm not a fan of Zack Penn's movies. I hated X-Men 3 and all the other superhero crap he's written. But I did love Incident At Lock Ness, which I thought was pretty clever and I really loved seeing Werner Herzog (who is my hero, if you couldn't tell from my name) playing with his mystique.
But I guess I should get to actually reviewing this movie. It was hilarious. Even better than Lock Ness. The movie is also a mockumentary, very much like Best In Show by Christopher Guest, but follows a bunch of poker players who are all crazy, as they reach the final table in a poker tournament. They are played by a bunch of recognizable comedians like Ray Romano, the wife from Curb Your Enthusiasm but even better, David Cruss (my favorite character) from the awesome Mr. Show and Chris Parnell from SNL. And of course, the always awesome Herzog, who plays "The German" a guy who likes to kill animals rather than drink caffeine.
What was really cool is that Zack explained in his Q&A afterwords that the final poker table was played for real and whoever won the game, won the movie. I won't spoil who wins, but just say that it makes it totally impossible to predict who wins the movie because all the characters have the same chance of winning.
I think the other reviewer who gave the movie five stars out of ten has something against the movie. It wasn't great art, like Werner's normal movies, but tremendously entertaining. It is very funny, sometimes very slapstick and other times very absurd. I think anyone who likes Christopher Guest movies or any of these great comedians will love the film.

Andi Eigenmann confesses that being called the third party in the Nikki Gil-Billy Crawford breakup has 'affected' her special relationship with Jake Ejercito.
Although she has categorically denied being the alleged third party that caused the recent breakup of longtime couple Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford, Galema lead star Andi Eigenmann nevertheless confessed that she felt "bad" over being involved in an issue that she has virtually nothing to do with.
"I feel bad na parang kung tinanggap niyo nalang 'yung sinabi nya and respected his privacy at hindi na nagdagdag ng kung ano pa 'cause I'm pretty sure this issue na kasali ako sa relationship nila, wouldn't come from him [Billy]," the 23-year-old actress pointed out during an interview at the Kapamilya Trade Launch held at One Esplanade, Pasay on August 6. Andi, along with Coleen Garcia, were among the few celebrities that were linked to the shocking ending of Nikki and Billy's fiver-year relationship.
Meanwhile, Andi didn't mince words when she related that what actually saddens her about this latest controversy is the fact that her peaceful life has been disturbed and consequentially, "affected" her special relationship with Jake Ejercito anew.
"'Yun nga po eh, 'yun rin ang nakakahinayang para sakin eh. He's not here. Parang wala naman akong ginagawa tapos all these people are giving him reason to worry or doubt me," said Andi. "And I've just really been working hard and gusto ko lang po talaga mag-focus sa work kasi parang gusto kong i-prove 'yung sarili ko to certain people," she continued vaguely.
Late last year, Andi revealed in one of the episodes of The Buzz that she had parted ways with the young Ejercito. Immediately after that, rumors began circulating that the reason for their split was because former President, now Manila Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada, Jake's father, disapproves of Andi. For his part, Mayor Erap had already denied this issue citing that his son is old enough to make decisions on his own and that he doesn't really meddle in his son's affairs.
Although she didn't give many details about it, Andi admitted that she and Jake have already spoken about this latest controversy. "'Yun nga po, napagusapan namin kaya nga po ako naiyak," she sheepishly confessed. Has it affected their special relationship? "Yes, because I have nothing to do with it yet at the same time I have no way of proving it [to him] because he's not here," the Galema star bluntly confessed.
"I mean siyempre gusto ko ring alagaan 'yung… I mean we're not together as a couple but ayoko pa ring masira whatever it is that's left just because of something like that," she added while choking back tears.
Andi will be taking on the role of Galema in the upcoming fantaserye of the same name soon in ABS-CBN.


SuperyachtNews.com - Opinion - A for awful?
She's one of the most talked about superyachts in the fleet, but does global recognition really mean that S/Y A is an attractive vessel?
Since S/Y A first entered the public eye, there has barely been a second where the 142.8m superyacht hasn't made it into headlines. But despite the seemingly relentless stream of media attention, my feelings are that there is a rather large elephant in the room when it comes to the yacht's appearance. 'Unique', 'breathtaking' or 'interesting' are all words that have been used by various news outlets to describe Nobiskrug's latest creation in the past year or so, but am I really alone when I say that S/Y A is not an attractive-looking sailing yacht?
From a purely aesthetical perspective, S/Y A, designed by Phillipe Starck, takes the concept of a sailing yacht and turns its back on the fundamental values of yachting - or even being on the ocean at all. Due to the acute levels of privacy on board required, and the sheer size of the enclosed hull, it looks as if a relationship with the ocean could be more easily achieved on land – a villa with a sea view perhaps.
Each and every one of us views sailing-yacht design in a way that is unique and intrinsically subjective, because we have different views on what looks good and what a sailing yacht should offer; 'beauty', as they say, 'is in the eye of the beholder'. And perhaps I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to sailing-yacht design, but my views are that a vessel should be elegant and well balanced in its proportions, which is perhaps where my – let's call it 'lack of understanding' – of S/Y A's exterior profile stems from.
The sheer volume of this metallic giant looms over the rest of the fleet in the Mediterranean, often alongside its predecessor, M/Y A, built by Blhom + Voss in 2008, and also designed by Phillipe Starck. But there is something about the motoryacht which is particularly interesting, if not infatuating. And while M/Y A may be unusual, she certainly isn't ugly.
According to SuperyachtIntellignence.com, S/Y A has a gross tonnage of 12,600gt, which is over two times the gross tonnage of M/Y A, making it the fifth largest superyacht in the fleet. So it's easy to see why she may look inherently out of place among all but the largest motoryachts. Yet, there is even more to it.
Unlike M/Y A, the lack of exterior lines or stylistic features encourages you to fixate on the yacht's vast silhouette, whereas other vast superyachts benefit from a segregated hull and superstructure or long, drawn-out panels, which serve to accentuate a yacht's length, rather than its height, preventing a bulky appearance. Furthermore, the lack of stylistic elements and camouflaged windows means that gaining any kind of perspective of her size is also quite difficult, which makes her proportions appear unusual.
There is no doubt that Nobiskrug, Starck and all those involved have achieved an astonishing creation, having entered into an unprecedented realm of superyacht design and achieving the realisation of the largest sailing yacht ever built. The sheer size of the vessel would have meant for an immensely challenging build – one that the world has never seen. And having succeeding an immensely challenging brief, which is to the owner's request and far beyond anything that we've seen in the superyacht market, the project is certainly an astonishing one but, in my view, is not an attractive one.

Q: FirebaseJobDispatcher or AlarmManager? To make things clear from the start, here is the app desired flow :
precise date with day/hour/minutes is selected
  -> a new Job is created and scheduled with FirebaseJobDispatcher -> the job is triggered exactly at the right date, and runs periodically (say period is 1-2 sec) a code that will define if the job needs to run again. If it does not need to run again, end it definitely, else, re-run it. Also, the job should have a "duration time" (usually 60sec) that will end it whatever happens in the job.
So far I'm confused about three things :

*

*The Trigger window seems completely unreliable and runs the job approximately when it wants

*Should I use FirebaseJobDispatcher#setRecurring or jobFinished(job, true); inside the service ?

*Sometimes, setRecurring(boolean) is set to false, as well as jobFinished(job, false);, and the job still runs again

Maybe I should use AlarmManager instead ? But it seemed like the new way was  FirebaseJobDispatche, so I don't know.
Here is some code
Service:
@Override
public boolean onStartJob(final JobParameters job) {

    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            simulateBackgroundTask(job);
        }
    }).start();

    return true;
}

private void simulateBackgroundTask(JobParameters job) {
    try {

        Log.d(TAG, "completeJob: " + "jobStarted --------------------");

        //request server or db
        Thread.sleep(2000);

        Log.d(TAG, "completeJob: " + "jobFinished --------------------");

        //shoudRunAgain is from the result of the request
        if(shouldRunAgain)
            jobFinished(job, true);
        else
            jobFinished(job, false);

    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters job) {
    return false;
}

Activity
FirebaseJobDispatcher dispatcher = new FirebaseJobDispatcher(new GooglePlayDriver(App.getContext()));

    Job job = dispatcher.newJobBuilder()
            .setLifetime(Lifetime.FOREVER)
            .setService(SearchService.class)
            .setTag("SearchService")
            .setRecurring(true)
            .setTrigger(Trigger.executionWindow(startDate,endDate))
            .setConstraints(Constraint.ON_ANY_NETWORK)
            .build();

    dispatcher.mustSchedule(job);

Any advices or solutions are welcomed, thank you

A large tile can help a bathroom appear more fluid and larger thanks to the fewer grout lines needed per tile. Large tiles look undeniably beautiful and can highlight the material type thanks to the larger surface area per tile. It is important however to consider the size of the room you are looking to tile using large tiles. Smaller bathrooms wouldn't benefit from large tiles for example as this can make the room seem overwhelmed and disproportionate. This is only true for ver small bathrooms however, as large tiles are widely versatile and can help create a modern, sleek look that can refresh a bathroom in need of a bit of a revamp!
In case you hadn't heard, we offer free samples on all of our tiles. This means you can test out the tile in your home before you buy the whole thing, we think that's pretty useful!


Chris Braun's book, "Bound Together" is written about the impact that one person's actions can have on many other people. Chris Braun has developed this image of a rope that binds us all together, in an attempt to illustrate how as humans we are all connected to each other. The premise sounds simple, especially when we consider the impact that we have on those who are closest to us, but what Brauns really does is show how we can impact those outside of our small social circle, and how the impact of our actions can even be felt by future generations.
I thought that this book was pretty interesting, though at times I felt like Brauns was over explaining some things that were more common sense. However, the subject was really intriguing, and I thought that the imagery of the rope that binds us together really helped explain this principle well. I think that this book makes me a little bit more mindful of how my actions could affect others, as well as more thoughtful about my own relationship with Christ.
I would recommend this book to anyone. I think it's a great read, and can really help improve a lot of interpersonal relationships with the knowledge and understanding presented in it.

No man has had a greater inflience on the spiritual development of his people than Siddartha Gautama. Born in India in the sixth century BC into a nation hungry for spiritual experience, he developed a religious and moral teaching that, to this day, brings comfort and peace to all who practise it. This comprehensive biography examines the social, religious and political conditions that gave rise to Buddhism as we now know it.
H.W.Schumann studied Indology, comparative religions and social anthropology at Bonn University and earned his Ph.D. degree for a thesis on Buddhist philosophy. He lectured at the Hindu University in Benaras, India, joined the Foreign services of the Federal Republic of Germany and served in consular and diplomatic capacities at the West German missions in Kolkata, Rangoon, Chicago and Colombo. He was in charge of the India desk at the German Foreign Office and retired as the Consul-General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Mumbai.

I'm Alison Morton and my first novel, INCEPTIO, an alternative history "what if" thriller, was published in March 2013 by SilverWood Books. It's the story of a 25-year-old who crosses cultures, battles with an entangled emotional life and faces a relentless, vindictive pursuer. On the way she finds out quite a lot about herself.
And, of course, like the best of novels there's a twist in the tale…
So what made my first book gripping, page turning, a 'good read'?
– The ordinary person baffled and menaced by an unknown outside threat. Who is this guy who wants to destroy her?
– An alternate timeline of history. How would a small colony surviving from antiquity change the world?
– Universal human needs and goals – survival, security, love, self-knowledge, a place in the world and the urge to make things right
– A personal quest
Simple stuff, then 😉
A lot more about INCEPTIO and the UK launch at Waterstones Tunbridge Wells. PERFIDITAS came out in October 2013 and the next, SUCCESSIO, in June 2014, launched with the help of broadcaster Sue Cook and a video! AURELIA appeared in 2015 and starts a new strand taking us back to the late 1960s to early 1980s. INSURRECTIO, which follows AURELIA was launched in April 2016 at the London Book Fair and followed by RETALIO in 2017.
Then I wanted to find out could write anything as short as a novella… CARINA, set between INCEPTIO and PERFIDITAS, came out in November 2017 as an ebook and in paperback in late March/beginning of April 2018. Next, we have a collection of short stories, ROMA NOVA EXTRA, and a second novella, NEXUS, set between AURELIA and INSURRECTIO.
If all that's a bit confusing, you can download The Official Roma Nova Reading Guide for FREE which gives you the reading order, loads of information abut the book, plus the first chapter of each.
Now Alison is turning to crime… Not really, but the first of her new conspiracy thrillers, Double Identity, introduces readers to a new heroine, Mélisende, an ex-French Army intelligence specialist, known as Mel, and now in the frame for murder…
INCEPTIO was shortlisted for the 2013 International Rubery Book Award and along with PERFIDITAS was shortlisted in the Writing Magazine 2014 Self-Published Book of the Year Award. SUCCESSIO was the Historical Novel Society indie Editor's Choice Autumn 2014 and longlisted for the 2015 HNS Indie Award. AURELIA received the same accolade for Autumn 2015 and was one of four finalists for the 2016 Award. All six full-length books have been awarded the prestigious B.R.A.G. Medallion.
Delighted to have been shortlisted in the Writing Magazine 2013 New Subscribers' Short Story Competition for 'Booked' and more so when I was inited to contribute a Roma Nova story to the 1066 Turned Upside Down anthology of alternative stories and in 2019 a Roman one to the Historical Writers' Association anthology RUBICON published by Sharpe Books.
Apart from numerous online interviews and guestposts, I've spoken at various conferences and litfests, given workshops and talks. More about the live events here. And I was deeply honoured to be asked to judge the 2017 Words With Jam First Page Competition.

Some background stuff…
After selling my translation business at the end of summer 2009, I started writing my first Roman novel. I've always been a 'wordsmith'. Translating professionally for much of my career has made me pretty nit-picky about words, grammar, punctuation, document cohesion, theme and structure.
Oh, the qualification stuff: BA in Modern Languages Studies (French, German and Economics), post-graduate Diploma in Translation (Business & Legal options), MA in History (with a distinction!)
I joined the Romantic Novelists' Association (RNA) under the New Writers' Scheme in 2010 and found it supportive, collegiate and brimming with knowledge and experience. I became the first Independent Author Member on 1 September 2015. My other memberships include the Historical Novel Society (HNS), Society of Authors, Alliance of Independent Authors and International Thriller Writers.
Now, I give talks on writing skills, self-publishing, research and historical fiction at writers' conferences, tutorial groups and associations in the UK, France, Ireland and the USA.
Hobbies? Reading, wine, gardening (weeding is excellent inspiration for solving plot holes!) and anything Roman. I moved to France in May 2010 but as all my friends and colleagues know, I'm always back and forth to the UK and beyond.

My couples have said that my help is invaluable; I'd love to provide the same help to you.
"Arielle, I don't even know where to begin except possibly cry.
I will miss you so much—you have honestly been my rock in all of this planning and some personal things for me. You have such a big heart and kind soul. Your energy, attention to detail and thoughtfulness has helped make my special day even more magical. I will never forget how you helped me on the most important day of my life. You have a true talent and gift."
"Arielle, you have made our lives tremendously easier.
We cannot thank you enough. We aren't sure we could have survived without you. And you made it all look so easy! Thank you for all of your hard work and all of your kindness. It has been a pleasure to share this time with you."
"Arielle, words cannot even begin to describe how grateful we are to have you by our side every step of the way on our journey to the happiest of days.
There is no way we could have pulled this off on our own. Thank you for your impeccable attention to detail and really doing all the work for us. It has been such pleasure working with you."
"Arielle is an absolute dream. Planning before arielle was the worst and she literally saved the day.
Arielle is so organized, kind, and very responsive. I would frantically email her at all times of the day/night and she was so calm, cool, and collected which was everything I needed. If I would have known how stressful wedding planning was going to be, I would have booked her the moment we got engaged. Arielle helped with organizing the rehearsal too and on the day-of the wedding she continued to blow us away with her support, experience, and helpfulness. She stayed engaged the entire night, until the very last guest left. She also has an eye for design which was super important to me. I knew what I liked and wanted and Arielle knew exactly how to execute it. Her rate is extremely reasonable considering how much she helps during every aspect of the planning. My husband would agree that she was THE best decision we made since we got engaged."


The 2.7 is about 50/50 split taxable and tax deferred.
The bigger issue is that we have 20 something adult kids that are still on our insurance and one of them is on an expensive medication that may or may not be covered on ACA. I'm not even sure how to figure that out.
So for now its employer group health and maybe move to COBRA if we decide to pull the cord, but COBRA only gets us 18 months.
But anyway, I had a full coverage type PPO in my last year of w*rk and found the full PPO type coverage (Florida Blue) to be just as inclusive within the ACA.
The major difference I have found with the ACA plans coverage is that the dental plan coverage is not nearly as good.
Thanks for the info. I fixed my prior comment about the kids. We have 2 kids that are in their early twenties that we plan to cover on insurance until 26 or when/if they change the ACA language.
Just updated balances for the month to discover that DW and I are multimillionaires by a whole $1,600 over the 2.0M mark (all in, including home equity). . . .
I wrote post number 313 on this thread back on December 29, 2013 to memorialize us hitting 1.5M. We were both 36 then, and we're 39 (DW is 38) now. The intervening years have been a grind at work, frankly I'd prefer to have those three years back.
To everyone out there with their eye on the FIRE prize, no matter where you are in the process keep up the good work!
I wrote the post above on July 24, 2016. Today, a little over two and a half years (and a new job and a bunch of craziness) later, we're at 3.0M for the first time.
Thank you Jack Bogle, and may you rest in peace.
Good luck to everyone else out there grinding to the prize.
Congrats. Sounds there will be a FIRE situation for you down the road.
I realized this last week that in the last couple of months, DW and I are now over 1M in net-worth. Also with that I realized I have too much in pre-tax investments and have started investing in some after tax mutual funds and investments. About 3 more years on our plan to sock away some more money before FIRE.
No debts except the house payment which we are (about 70% equity there), no kids in college. A few more house improvements we want to do but in a great position to save and invest some significant cash in our run for the finish line.
I'm now worth my weight in gold.
What neat milestone indeed! Congrats!
-I have finally crested the 100K mark in my TFSA account ("Roth IRA" in the US). Considering the limit before gains is $63,500 and there are not that many people in the 100K TFSA club, I feel pretty good about those gains in the ~8 years I've been investing. And just something nice about seeing it reach six figures finally.
-Overall net worth also crested 700K for the first time.
I am down to double digit days and got exactly 99 days left. I love the feeling !!!!
Just reclaimed $4.5M NW status after the dip in 4Q2018! Also, set maximum target date to retire in 2025.
Now you're making me second guess myself. Sitting at 2m NW and put in my resignation letter for 7 June. Hope my numbers don't lie!
Inching closer towards end of the year NW goal of $3 million. NW is at an all-time high of $2.87 mill.
I normally only update the portfolio value at month-end (last Friday), but I ran the numbers after the market run-up today and we hit $4M in NW for the first time! We usually focus on investable assets instead of NW, but this was a fun mark to observe. Now back to thinking about FIRE as we peruse FL real estate listings tonight.
^ wow! Congratulations to all of you.
I hear you. Our total investments/cash hit 7 digits yesterday. Even if it only lasted for a short time it was nice to see lol....DW and I are not considered young by most on this site; however, we have a good monthly guaranteed income of over 9k until I can take my SS and then the fun begins. Looking at walking away early next year.
How'd it get from $5,500/mo to $9,000/mo?


The data, reported in a new, unpublished study by three Yale economists, shows that a college degree is even more important during a recession. And it demonstrates that during tough economic times, the pay gap widens between people in scientific and business professions and those in the arts and social sciences.
"It was in a sense a great equalizer because college grads had been hit more than they had before, and even the better-earning college majors," she said.
That is not to say a college degree has lost its value. The opposite is true. People who graduated from college in the depths of the most recent recession lost more than $100,000 in potential earnings, Ms. Kahn said, but they also had that much to lose because they had a degree.
But not all college degrees are created equal, and some provide graduates with more shelter from economic storms than others. That is yet another variable for students to keep in mind as they weigh which career to pursue.


One of my favorite parts of the trip was practicing with our team in the mornings before the tournament. We met at a local park at 6AM each morning, and also again in the afternoon on the Hotels Ping Pong or Squash Court. It was nice to meet the other teams from around the world as they arrived at the hotel. It was interesting to watch the other teams as they practiced on their own and competed in the tournament. Each school's forms are slightly different. Some schools more than others. This also helped me see where I needed to work on my forms.
At the tournament my wife Beth was especially pleased to see the Dragon dance as part of the opening ceremony! I enjoyed doing the 14-step Tai Chi with our group and we did very well. I wasn't even nervous. Unfortunately I was scared to death while doing the individual forms. I survived though. I hope to go back next time and overcome my phobia of judges. Everybody was very encouraging.
As the tournament continued we were able to meet students from all over the world and students of many different ages. An 85 year old student from Taiwan showed me how he could still do sword forms. By the end of the two days we had many new friends and enjoyed spending time with them at the awards banquet, lunch and at the hotel. Everyone who participated received a medal and a certificate.
Monday we hiked up the mountain to the gravesite of the Great-Grandmaster Wang Shu-Jin. It was a beautiful monument built into the mountain. There was an Indoor student and In-room student ceremony by the Monument. Afterwards we were treated to a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant with all the students who were able to stay an extra day. They just kept bringing food until we were all stuffed.
Beth and I were lucky to be able to stay a few extra days and do some sightseeing both in Tai Chung and Taipei. We visited some temples and went to the National Palace Museum. We saw a lot of incredible art and architecture. Taking the High Speed Rail gave us a chance to see the countryside with its beautiful farms and mountains. Should I be fortunate enough to go to Taiwan again I will know to leave more time to see all the sights!
I want to thank Hiromi Sensei for this amazing opportunity!!!
