Mickey Rourke Already Wasting His Newfound Clout
By Adam Raymond
Rourke Is Expendable Too: Mickey Rourke is the latest meathead to join Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Jet Li in Sly's action flick The Expendables. Rourke will play a dirty arms dealer who supplies a group of mercenaries out to topple a South American dictator with the tools of their trade. He'll also scare them with his ever-evolving face. [Variety]
Who?: Disney has tapped Garrett Hedlund to star in Tron, its sequel to the 1982 cult classic. Hedlund, whose credits apparently include Troy, Friday Night Lights (the movie), and Four Brothers, will play a computer programmer who is pulled inside a computer and must retrace the steps made in the original by Jeff Bridges (who is returning for the sequel). Perhaps most interesting, the suits at the Mouse House announced that they're changing the sequel's name from the difficult-to-pronounce TR2N to just plain ol' Tron. [HR]
DJ and the Beanstalk: DJ Caruso is set to tackle New Line's Jack the Giant Killer as his next project. The Mack Bomback (Live Free of Die Hard) script begins when a princess is kidnapped, threatening the peace between men and giants. A young farmer then leads an expedition to the giant's kingdom to rescue her. No word on casting yet, but given Caruso's relationship with one particular Hollywood leading man, seems like a decent chance that the plucky giant-fighter will be played by Shia LaBeouf. [HR]
20,000 Leagues With McG: When he's done with John Connor and saving the future from giant robots, McG will direct Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo. The pic, an origin story of Nemo as he creates his warship, the Nautilus, is being fast-tracked by Disney, which fought hard to secure McG for the project. In 1954, the original 20,000 Leagues was Disney's first live-action film and won three Oscars. As cool as this one might be, if it wins three Oscars, we'll eat the giant squid that attacks the Nautilus in the original. [Variety]
Recession TV: Kelsey Grammer has signed on to an untitled ABC pilot playing a corporate bigwig forced to reconnect with his family after company downsizing. Wow, sounds terrible. Even worse than losing your job and having to worry about feeding your family! [Variety]

There's only one appropriate word to describe Sophie and James's Italian-style Jewish wedding day: bellissimo!
Yes, if you breathe in deeply, you can almost smell the stunning Italian-inspired herb garden this creative couple reconstructed in their London venue, you can almost taste the limoncello, the bombe desserts, the gelato station… sorry we drifted away for a minute! I think we can all agree that wedding planners, Banana Split, know a thing or two about creating an incredible, immersive experience.
Sophie and James had their ceremony (conducted by none other than THE Chief Rabbi Emeritus, Lord Jonathan Sacks) at the place their relationship began, Norrice Lea Synagogue, under an ah-maaaazing olive-tree chuppah.
The party really got started at super-luxe venue, The Dorchester, which was transformed into an Italian heaven, with ludicrously wonderful floral arrangements by Wild at Heart. Seriously, a recipe for divine decor.
Let's take a second to swoon over beautiful bride Sophie's stunner of an Oscar de la Renta gown, altered especially to fit her vision – and what a vision she looked!
There's so much to love about today's big day, from a singing groom to a rapping dad (YES!) but we don't want our writeup to be longer than Sophie's! So we'll take a minute to appreciate the absolute photography GENIUS that is our Recommended Vendor and Smashing The Glass regular, Blake Ezra Photography. We have been lucky enough to feature Blake on many, many occasions, and he has knocked it out of the park yet again with today's sublime spread of images.
Videographer AtMotion provided the beautiful wedding film below – and if groom James's speech doesn't make you well up, then we don't know what will! Enjoy, and remember, Pin your gorgeous hearts out!
Sophie, the bride: We actually grew up around the corner from each other, but being a few school years apart, our paths never crossed. Our fathers trained as accountants together, and both our mothers went to the same hairdressers and regularly chatted.
Our fathers share a best friend, Wayne, who approached James in shul during the Kol Nidrei service and told him that he had just had an epiphany — that he had the perfect match in mind. He told James he should take me out on a date, and the rest is history.
A Greek and a Jewish wedding? Can it get much better than that?! Well in the case of this beauty, it does. Not only do we get the best of both cultures and traditions, it is literally oozing, hell, I'd even say *overflowing*, in style and creativity.
First off, Crystall and Ryan are one seriously hot couple. I'm talking hot with a capital 'H' guys, and I just know you'll agree once you clap eyes on all the imagery below. Then there's the fusion of the best Jewish and Greek traditions, plus the theme of music running through all the festivities, and on a fashion note, our lovely bride, Crystall wore not one but TWO fabulous dresses: a spectacular customised Oscar de la Renta for the ceremony, and a breathtaking Jenny Packham for the reception. I know — I must admit to being a teeny weeny bit green-eyed over this fact.
The backbone of Crystall and Ryan's W-day is a certain symbolic willow tree in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden that was central in the early days of their relationship. The same tree went on to survive merciless Hurricane Sandy and the couple decided that this tree would form the framework of their chuppah.
I won't delay you any further; let's hear about this beautifully intertwined Jewish / Greek wedding day in the bride's words. She infuses lots of lovely detail — you'll feel as if you were right there at her wedding.
Crystall, the Bride: The summer that Ryan and I met, we spent a perfect afternoon wandering the grounds of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was the same day that Ryan moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn, closer to where I was. We celebrated sitting under a large weeping willow tree, holding hands and completely in love. We had no way of knowing then that just 3 years later, we would be saying "I do" in that very spot in front of that same tree.
Very soon after getting engaged, we chose to marry in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a place that means so much to us. We wanted our guests to experience the sweeping 52-acre garden in an intimate way and truly be a part of the journey that led us full circle right back to that weeping willow tree.

Landing the immigrant dream
On Jan. 11th, 1911, (1/1/11) a massive steamship, named "Friedrich der Grosse" (for Frederick the Great, a one-time Prussian ruler) pulled into New York Bay. My dad's father, Josef Gärtz, was on that ship, peering out at the Statue of Liberty, greeting him and the other hopeful and exhausted boat-load of immigrants. It was the beginning of a life entirely different from the lives of the family and friends he left behind.

Terror atop the train!
On Christmas Eve 1910, my grandfather, Josef Gärtz, set off on what would become a harrowing journey toward America. His burning dream of a far-off land and the fiery drive he needed to get there, turned out to be the best Christmas gift he ever could have imagined for his future bride and their children and grandchildren. It was a gift that would keep on giving for decades to come.

Housing Injustice 100 years ago
The best defense is an offense, and that was as true in the past as it is today. A century ago, a deceitful notary took advantage of my grandfather's absence to wrongfully sell his property. My grandmother's father, Samuel Ebner, (left) wrote her and her new husband, Josef Gartz, a letter dated May 11, 1913. Samuel was clearly in great distress over the illegal sale.

An Immigrant's Gift: a New Year in America
I'd always known my grandfather was often impatient, and apparently was so as a young man. He didn't want to wait for the long visa process, so he just took off for America before his exit papers were in order, hoping to start the new year of 1911 in a new country. His diary "Meine Reise Nach Amerika" (My Trip to America), and letters to his sweetheart show that he almost didn't make it.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a common problem of people living in northern United States. People who are affected by this disorder commonly suffer from depression, lethargy, inability to concentrate, overeating and weight gain. People from the north tend to suffer more from this disorder because of the shortened days. It appears, that due to the deficiency of sunlight some people suffer from these symptoms. The shortened days have a hormonal effect on the body that causes these symptoms, and the use of artificial sunlight is the best way to relieve the disorder.

MP Tourism Bags 2 Awards at Cannes, 2018
TT BUREAU
This year, Madhya Pradesh Tourism (MPT) has launched a new TVC named "Memories of Destination" – a collection of hundreds of photographs that showcases stories of millions of travellers, who have visited Madhya Pradesh over the years. Using candid photographs and pictures of real travellers, the film tries to showcase various tourist destinations of Madhya Pradesh through the eyes of a traveller and not through the lens of a travel filmmaker. The idea is not to attract tourists by showing them picture-perfect, splendid, spectacular images, which the eyes will never see in real, but to show them tourist destinations that look exactly the way it is.
The TVC has already bagged two awards for MPT in Cannes Film Festival 2018, including a silver lion for its spectacular editing and a Bronze lion for its rhythmic music. It is a major achievement for MPT to win two awards on the same platform. Cannes has commonly been called as the Oscars of the Advertisement industry, and this is the 2nd International award won by Madhya Pradesh Tourism in 2018.
Every frame in the film gives the viewer an experience of a tourist visiting these culturally rich destinations. Be it the architectural marvels of Gwalior and Mandu, the picturesque beauty of Pachmarhi and Orchha, the sight of the majestic tiger in the national parks, the breathtaking views of the Dhuandhar falls, or the bustling, delectable tastes and sights of the Sarafa Bazar in Indore.
The film is an honest expression of what one will truly experience in Madhya Pradesh. MPTB Facebook page has crossed 1 million followers and became one of the most active tourism organisations in the country.

Lock in a great price for Hotel Xcaret Mexico - All Parks & Tours / All Inclusive – rated 9.5 by recent guests!
The staff was fantastic in all areas of the property. They were genuinely caring, helpful and attentive to all guests. The property itself is beautiful and expansive, and the restaurants were all wonderful. This is a destination not to be missed!
The entire experience was terrific. The bus from the airport was waiting for the family and from that moment on it was top notch service. When we first saw the hotel in person it blew us away. The pictures do not truly show how grand and spectacular it is. All the restaurants were top caliber. If you are worried about the all inclusive cost, don't be. Each meal we had was high quality and would have cost my family more if we were to eat like that in the states, especially where we live. I want toggle a special Thank You you to the front desk, and especially Gabriel Flores. He was extremely helpful. When we arrived we realized that we wanted to extend our stay. He helped me through that process. He was terrific. All the excursions were great each family had a favorite.
The result was absolutely beautiful. It was surrounded by rivers that you can swim in, as well as the ocean, and several beautiful pools. With the package I got, all of the parks were included and they were all beautiful and amazing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I am hoping to repeat in the near future.
We had high expectations since we paid a lot of money for an all inclusive in Mexico but we weren't disappointed. The hotel and its facilities (including the parks) were outstanding, our oceanfront room was amazing, the people and service were great and almost all of the food excellent. We had a lot of fun exploring the sprawling hotel with its many walkways, caves, rivers and restaurants.
The property design was beautiful. The service was excellent. The rooms had everything possible.
Everything was amazing. From the views and the hospitality, to the food and all-inclusive perks. This was the most amazing place that I have ever stayed, and I will ABSOLUTELY be back for more.
The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower spacious, pillow really fluffy, the amenities amazig, pools were really nice and the service excellent.
Everything was so amazing. You would discover something new around every corner. Everything so beautiful.

Exclusive service for clients with a confirmed arrival at Cancun airport, the day of check-in at the hotel. By airport regulations, this service is not available for customers who do not arrive with a confirmed flight.
There were almost no vegetables in the buffets. The food wasn't great apart from Bio and Xin Gao restaurants. There was humid smell in the room.
Food was awful. Staff was rude, and unpleasant.
The two excursions/parks that were a bit of a let down are Xichen Deluxe and Xcaret park. Not because of service but because it is a 2 hr drive one way and we are there for 2 hours. When I was a kid we were able to climb the pyramid but of course that was stopped because people defaced them. So now you can only walk the grounds. I think if you have never gone it is worth it to learn more about the Mayan culture but if you have then maybe skip it. Was for Xcaret park it was frustrating that everything cost extra, minus the buffet meal which was not great. All other parks had potable drinking water. Here you had to buy bottle water. We would go again but we would budget for a snorkel tour and bring in thermos of water. It would be good for a split day so the kids have energy to sit through the show at night.
There is literally not one thing to complain about at this resort. Everything was amazing and I can't say that enough.
It's hard to find anything at fault. Sometimes the service was a bit slow.
Shopping could have been better. Not many stores on hotel property.
I think the food could have been better. It was good, it just wasn't up to the rest of the excellence.
The resort was spectacularly beautiful and the parks were a blast!
Everything is amazing! The food is really good but you have to book at least 2 days in advance for the nice restaurants. The service and the people working are super friendly. Great experience, the only all inclusive we could stay in.
The environment of the property is fantastic! Very convenient to the parks.
the only complaint we could think of as a family was the elevators smelled a bit musty. that was the only bad thing from our 7 day stay at this wonderful resort.
this is an absolutely amazing resort. beautiful in everyway! location, food, entertainment, staff, everything was first rate.
this hotel is amazing! The views , the food , the parks, the included trips to mayan ruins, all was incredible! just go - you will not regret it. If you don't have kids and can afford it book casa fuego (the adults only part of the hotel).

Hamaltan
Hamilton is a large town to the south east of Glasgow, lying near the confluence of the River Avon with the River Clyde. Although still identified as a separate town, there is very little open country between Hamilton and Bothwell - Uddingston to the north, which are equally close to the urban sprawl of Glasgow itself. To many, therefore, Hamilton is now part of the Glasgow urban area. Despite this, it maintains a busy town centre, with a good range of shops and services. Retail parks and industrial estates lie to the north, and in the north west of the town is the race course, which forms part of the open space surrounding the Strathclyde Country Park on the opposite side of the M74 and River Clyde.
The main route past the town is, therefore, the M74 motorway. The Hamilton Interchange lies just a short distance to the east of the town centre, and is a fully free-flowing Octopus layout which connects to the A723. This in turn runs directly from Hamilton town centre to Motherwell town centre just a couple of miles to the east. Both the A723 and A72 head south out of town, quickly finding the open countryside of Lanarkshire, although each soon reaches another town. The A72 is the former route of the A74, which once ran through Hamilton town centre, before the motorway opened. The A72 now terminates in the centre, instead of a few miles to the south, and it is then the B7071 that continues the old A74 route into Glasgow.
Between them, these routes form an inner ring road for Hamilton, the dualled A723 cutting close to the centre, and separating one shopping street from the main pedestrianised area. In the meadows by the motorway junction, a retail park has been built alongside the A72, whilst the A724 which starts to the west of the town centre heads north west into Glasgow.
The B7071 follows the former line of the A74, and in so doing it runs north to the A725 at Bothwell. Here, the Raith Interchange is being thoroughly rebuilt as part of the M74 / M73 / M8 improvement works, but the B road continues, connected only by a spur, through Bothwell and Uddingston to meet the A721, which takes over the former A74 route towards the city. To the west of Hamilton, the B755 provides a link through suburbs, whilst the B7012 provides a fragmented route in Blantyre to the northwest.

Атентатът в църквата "Света Неделя" е най-големият терористичен акт в историята на България. Извършен е на 16 април 1925 година, Велики четвъртък, от група крайнолеви дейци на Военната организация (ВО) на Българската комунистическа партия (БКП), които взривяват покрива на църквата "Света Неделя" в София. По това време в нея се провежда церемонията по погребението на генерал Константин Георгиев, убит на 14 април същата година от друг комунистически деец. Цел на атентата е да бъде ликвидиран военният и политическият елит на страната. При атентата загиват 134 души, а ранените са около 500, като част от тях умират по-късно от раните си. След атентата правителството в България предприема репресивни действия срещу крайната левица, известни като Априлски събития.

Обстановка в страната
След провала на Септемврийското въстание през 1923 година БКП е забранена от Върховния касационен съд на 2 април 1924 година. Партията продължава дейността си в нелегалност. Правителството арестува и убива без съд много нейни активисти, което нанася тежък удар по структурите ѝ. Увеличаващите се ултралеви дейци в комунистическата партия решават да отвърнат на удара с ново насилие. Към Централния комитет (ЦК) на БКП е създадена Специална наказателна група, включваща Яко Доросиев, о.з. капитан Иван Минков и Вълко Червенков, със задача извършване на убийства на хора на възлови длъжности в армията, полицията и висши държавни служители. Военната организация на БКП, ръководена от о.з. майор Коста Янков и Иван Минков, организира малки терористични групи - шесторки. Същевременно, полицията продължава относително успешно да унищожава нелегалната структура на БКП.

През декември 1924 година група дейци на Военната организация вербува Петър Задгорски, клисар на църквата "Света Неделя". Димитър Хаджидимитров и Димитър Златарев, ръководител на секцията по въоръжението във ВО, предлагат да се убие директорът на полицията Владимир Начев и по време на опелото му да се извърши мащабен атентат. Те се надяват по този начин да ликвидират голям брой ключови фигури в полицейската и военната йерархия и да намалят натиска, оказван върху БКП от властите. Според историка Георги Марков, идеята е приета ентусиазирано от Станке Димитров, секретар на ЦК, който в началото на 1925 година я излага в срещи с Георги Димитров и Васил Коларов, по това време генерален секретар на Коминтерна. Те не одобряват предложението, тъй като смятат, че подобно действие трябва да бъде предшествано от подготовка за мащабно въстание.

Междувременно правителството засилва действията си срещу нелегалната БКП. На 11 февруари е арестуван, изтезаван и убит влиятелният функционер на софийската организация на БКП Вълчо Иванов, а малко след това на улицата са застреляни комунистическите депутати Тодор Страшимиров и Харалампи Стоянов. На 10 март е приета промяна в Закона за защита на държавата, която увеличава правомощията на властите – смъртна присъда се полага не само за дейците на нелегалната БКП, но и за тези, които им помагат и ги укриват. На 26 март е убит Яко Доросиев, ръководител на секцията по оперативната дейност към Военната организация на комунистическата партия.

Засиленият натиск на полицията заплашва физическото оцеляване на лидерите на организацията и допълнително изнервя ръководителите на Военната организация. Намиращият се в чужбина Васил Коларов отново призовава ръководството към умереност, но те заявяват, че са готови да осъществят плана си и без одобрението на Коминтерна, чиято секция е БКП, и на ръководството в емиграция.

Решимостта на военното ръководство вероятно е насърчена от преките му връзки със съветското Главно политическо управление, което ги снабдява с пари и въоръжение. Според историка Стойчо Грънчаров "големите средства за издръжка и въоръжаване на терористите, включително фаталния взрив, идват от Комунистическия Интернационал". Военното разузнаване помага за организиране и провеждане на въоръжена борба като за това в България са изпратени Христофор Салнин и Иван Винаров. По непълни данни през Черно море от 1922 година до януари 1925 година за нелегалната военна организация на БКП, СССР прехвърля: 800 винтовки, 500 револвера, 500 ръчни гранати, 150 килограма взрив, а в тайни складове се намират още други 1600 винтовки, 200 револвера, 25 картечници, 2000 ръчни гранати и взрива. Нелегално изпратеният военен разузнавач Христофор Интович Салнин-Осип инспектира партизанските отряди на БКП. За ръководене на Военната организация на БКП организирала атентата в "Света Неделя" през 1925 година от Съветския съюз в България е изпратен военният специалист, випускник на Военната академия на РККА и офицер от Главного разузнавателно управление на Червената армия, Михаил Малхазович Чхеидзе.

Извършване

Ръководството на Военната организация на БКП възлага извършването на атентата на една от шесторките, ръководена от Петър Абаджиев, който през втората половина на януари 1925 година влиза в контакт с клисаря Петър Задгорски. С негова помощ в продължение на няколко седмици Петър Абаджиев и Асен Павлов внасят на тавана на църквата общо 25 kg експлозив. Той е монтиран в един пакет над една от колоните на основния купол, разположена при южния вход на сградата. Експлозивът трябва да бъде взривен с бикфордов шнур с дължина 15 m, с което да се даде на атентаторите възможност да избягат. Между взривното устройство и купола на храма е поставена бутилка със сярна киселина, която да усили поразяващия ефект от взрива чрез отделяне на отровни газове.

Планът за атентата предвижда първо да бъде убит достатъчно високопоставен човек, чието опело да събере политическия и военен елит в катедралната църква "Света Неделя", за да може взривът да предизвика по-голям ефект. Сред разглежданите варианти са директорът на полицията Владимир Начев и членът на ръководството на Военния съюз и на Демократическия сговор Кимон Георгиев. Поради засилената охрана на Начев, Военната организация решава да избере друга жертва, чието погребение да послужи като примамка за атентата. В 20 часа на 14 април о.з. генерал Константин Георгиев, депутат и председател на софийската организация на управляващия Демократически сговор и гарнизонен водач на Военния съюз, е убит от Атанас Тодовичин пред църквата "Свети Седмочисленици", където отива за вечерната служба заедно с внучката си.

Опелото на генерал Георгиев е насрочено за 16 април, Велики четвъртък. В 7 часа сутринта Задгорски пуска на тавана на сградата Никола Петров, който трябва по негов знак да предизвика експлозията. Траурното шествие влиза в църквата в 15 часа. Службата се ръководи от митрополит Стефан Софийски. Първоначално ковчегът е поставен до колоната, която трябва да бъде взривена, но след това е преместен по-напред, поради големия брой хора, дошли на церемонията. Така по случайност най-видните присъстващи са отдалечени от мястото на взрива.

Съгласно плана на атентаторите, когато хората са събрани и службата започва, Петър Задгорски дава знак на Никола Петров да взриви експлозива, след което двамата напускат сградата. Това става около 15:20 часа. Експлозията събаря главния купол на църквата, затрупвайки вътре множество хора. Взривната вълна в затвореното помещение нанася допълнителни поражения.

Жертви

При атентата в "Света Неделя" загиват 134 души, други умират по-късно от раните си. Ранените са около 500.

Загиват 12 генерали, 15 полковници, 7 подполковници, 3-ма майори, 9 капитани, 3-ма депутати и множество граждани, включително жени и деца. Загиват и много общественици, сред които и столичният кмет Паскал Паскалев.

По случайност всички членове на правителството се отървават само с леки наранявания. Цар Борис III не е в църквата, тъй като присъства на погребенията на убитите в атентата срещу него в прохода Арабаконак два дни по-рано.

Сред жертвите са:
 генерал от пехотата Стефан Нерезов, командвал Първа българска армия при Дойран
 генерал-лейтенант Калин Найденов, военен министър по време на Първата световна война
 генерал-лейтенант Кръстю Златарев, командвал Единадесета пехотна македонска дивизия по време на Първата световна война

 Петър Абаджиев пренася взрива;
 Асен Павлов пренася взрива;
 Асен Агов (авиатор) - доставя детонаторите;
 Атанас Тодовичин застрелва о.з. генерал Константин Георгиев;
 Никола Петров пали фитила на взрива;
 Димитър Златарев – участник.

Преки последици
Част от организаторите на атентата – Димитър Златарев, Петър Абаджиев и Никола Петров – успяват да избягат през Кралството на сърби, хървати и словенци в Съветския съюз. Заговорниците се опитват да ликвидират своя съучастник Петър Задгорски, но той успява да се предаде на полицията и прави пълни самопризнания. Бързо е разкрито местоположението на ръководителите на Военната организация на БКП Коста Янков и Иван Минков, като Янков е убит, докато се отбранява в къщата на свой съучастник, а Минков се самоубива преди да бъде заловен.

Делото за атентата е гледано от военен съд от 1 май до 11 май в казармите на Четвърти артилерийски полк в София. Марко Фридман, най-високопоставеният от обвиняемите, признава, че организацията получава финанси през Виена от Съветския съюз, но прехвърля отговорността за атентата върху Коста Янков и Иван Минков, които според него са действали без съгласието на ръководството на БКП. Смъртни присъди получават Петър Задгорски, подполковник Георги Коев, в чиято къща се укрива Иван Минков, и Марко Фридман, ръководител на секция във Военната организация на БКП. Задочно на смърт са осъдени и Станке Димитров, Петър Абаджиев, Димитър Грънчаров, Николай Петрини и Христо Косовски, като последните трима вече са убити през предходните седмици. Смъртните присъди са изпълнени публично чрез обесване на 27 май.

Вечерта на 16 април в страната е обявено военно положение, което остава в сила до 24 октомври. По време на военното положение правителството предприема репресивни действия срещу крайната левица, известни като Априлски събития.

Малко след извършването на атентата ЦК на БКП официално го обявява за "необмислено действие, гибелно за антифашисткото движение", като по-късно в комунистическата литература извършителите му са определяни като "леви сектанти", действали срещу волята на партията. Атентатът първоначално предизвиква паника в ръководството на Коминтерна и става причина за дезертирането на участвалия в подготовката му представител на съветското военно разузнаване във Виена Владимир Нестерович (Ярославски).

В масовата култура
Атентатът е част от сюжета в българския исторически сериал "Дървото на живота" и романа на Милен Русков "Чамкория".

Union Leader Says He Has Good Relationship with IRS Chief
NTEU hopes to restore some of 18,000 lost tax agency jobs.
The employees union at the Internal Revenue Service enjoys solid communication with the agency's commissioner, welcomes technological advances if appropriately applied and hopes to rebuild IRS' shrunken workforce, according to National Treasury Employees Union National President Tony Reardon.
In a session with reporters on Tuesday during the 150,000-member union's annual legislative conference in Washington, Reardon said Internal Revenue Commissioner John Koskinen has tried to be fairer to IRS employees. "He has the IRS' best interest at heart," Reardon said. "And he thinks highly of IRS employees, as he makes clear in the media when he goes to bat for them on Capitol Hill. I have a good working relationship with him, but let's face it, he has an agency to run, and I lead a union. We don't always see eye to eye. He works hard to run the agency well, but he has set of factors and data I don't have."
Reardon hears a lot about heavy workloads from IRS employees, he said, noting the 18,000 slots the agency has lost over the past five years. "It's evident to me more employees are required," he said. (IRS did win an infusion of $290 million in last fall's budget deal, which allowed it to hire temporary employees for the 2016 filing season.)
Asked about the tax agency's "Future State" plan to serve more taxpayers through online services, Reardon said, "NTEU recognizes that technology is a good thing and has no issue with technological advances. But if Future State becomes an opportunity for reducing taxpayers' face-to-face time with the IRS, that's a big problem." Ongoing talks have reached no conclusion as to whether the push for greater automation means fewer employees, he added. Planning for such changes "does need to involve front-line employees," and "the IRS could do better in pre-decisional involvement."
On NTEU's broader agenda of countering some lawmakers' inclination to cut federal pay and benefits, Reardon said his members "express disbelief in the way they are treated by Congress." For a new employee, a benefits package is a "pact that the employee is entitled to," he said, "but Congress views it as a piggy bank."
New hires shouldn't have to pay more for retirement costs, he said, adding that rising health care premiums have prompted many members to tell him, "I can't keep up." Because of short staffing at Customs and Border Protection, he said, employees are working several 16-hour shifts a week, "which can't be good for national security."
NTEU fights for employee rights to collective bargaining and due process, Reardon said, not only because they're merited, but because the threat of job loss and pay cuts "discourages whistleblowers," which makes fair treatment of employees "a byproduct that is beneficial to American taxpayers."
Congress may not be receptive to NTEU's agenda during this election year. Legislative Director Maureen Gilman said House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who spoke to NTEU last year, "takes the view that a lot of people do good work, but his priority seems to be going after the bad apples." She noted that the rest of Chaffetz's agenda is "similar to GOP talking points" on benefits cuts and curbing the size of the workforce. NTEU does draw some support, she said, from Northeast Republicans such as Reps. Peter King, R-N.Y.; Chris Smith, R-N.J.; and Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J.; and from Virginia lawmakers with many federal employees in their districts.
As for its own future health, NTEU is "focused on internal growth" at its 31 organized agencies, Reardon said. "There's not a lot of hiring now, so I don't conclude that [newcomers] don't value or want to join a union." Customs and Border Protection, which can't hire older workers, has the highest hiring rate for young people, he said, "so I'm not sure they're not" interested in a union. "It creates opportunities for NTEU, and opportunities to listen to them and possibly change the way we do business."
Yes, declining nationwide union membership in the private sector are "discouraging," Reardon said. "It's important that we have a strong middle class and important that we have strong unions, too."

Our favorite quotes about music and how it impacts our attitude and mood.
Looking for the best music quotes that will fuel your soul?
Music is an essential part of human existence. Listening to music leaves a major impact on each one of us. It can boost your mood, reduce stress and improve your health and overall well-being.
According to studies, the majority of people have positive experiences when listening to music; whether it's sad, or upbeat music.
During times of loss, for example, listening to sad music that describes what you're feeling can be compared to listening to an empathetic friend who truly understands what you're going through. On the other hand, listening to upbeat music is a wonderful way to improve your mood and boost your happiness.
Music has also been used as therapy for a long time, helping people to cope with pain, manage stress and improve memory. In fact, some researchers found that patients experienced less pain and anxiety when they listened to music before, during, or after surgery.
To remind us of the Everyday Power of music and how it heals our souls, we've prepared this collection of inspirational, beautiful, and funny music quotes, music sayings, and music proverbs.
We hope you'll enjoy reading these music quotes as much as we enjoyed compiling them.
Which of these music quotes was your favorite?
Each one of us has experienced an emotional connection with music. Music can make you feel happy or sad, in love or angry.
There is music that lifts your mood when you're feeling down and music that can motivate you to reach the next level. In short, music is therapy for the soul and mind.
Hopefully, these quotes about music have fueled your soul and reminded you of the impact it has on each one of us.

New York Islanders Previews
Islanders vs. Capitals (vs. Penguins? vs. Bruins?): Final 10 games in East Division race
Tied for first place, the Islanders and Capitals face each other three times and could take each other down a peg. Or three.

Well, who predicted* this?
With 10 games to go in a pandemic-shortened (to think, I used to think "lockout-shortened" was bad) season, the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals are tied for first place heading into a three-game set against one another.
*I don't remember what I predicted at the beginning of the season, but then I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning or where I parked my car. I do remember the feeling in my sleepy eyes when Pat LaFontaine scored in quadruple overtime. Somewhere between 1987 and 2021, I'm sure I didn't predict the Isles to be tied for first on April 21
As the division co-leaders prepare to face off, the Islanders and Capitals each have 62 points, though the Caps hold a significant advantage with 24 regulation wins to the Islanders' 21. Between Thursday and Tuesday, the teams could trade first place multiple times...or send one another down the standings. It's all complicated by the schedule and the prospect of any number of two- and three-point games, thanks to #OurStupidStandings.
But Wait, There Are Others...
Oh, and then lurking right behind are the Penguins, with 61 points, and 22 regulation wins...and arguably the easiest schedule left.
There are also the Bruins, deceptively behind at 58 points but with two fewer games played than the rest of this crew.
It's quite possible that as the Islanders and Capitals tear each other apart, the Penguins or even the Bruins pass at least one of them. During the three-game Isles-Caps series, for example, the Bruins will play four times (the Sabres twice and the Penguins twice), as will the Penguins, who have two more against the Devils this week in addition to next week's pair against Boston.
So while the focus for us at the moment and in the table below is the Islanders and Caps, here's a look at what all four face the rest of the way. In the interest of space, the Pens and Bruins sections don't include their previously listed meetings with the Isles and Caps, but they're in the totals.
Final 10 (or 12)
vs PIT
vs PHI
vs BOS
vs BUF
vs NJD
Islanders n/a 2 (4/29, 5/1) n/a 1 (5/10) 2 (5/3, 4) 2 (5/6, 8) 5H,5A
Capitals 2 (4/29, 5/1) 2 (5/3, 5/5) 2 (5/7, 8) 1 (5/11) n/a n/a 6H,4A
Penguins :) n/a 2 (5/3, 4) 2 (4/25, 27) 2 (5/6, 8) 2 (4/22, 24) 6h,4A
Bruins 2 (4/25, 27) 2 (5/6, 8) n/a :) 4 (4/22, 23, 29, 5/1) 2 (5/3, 4) 5H,7A
Note that the Bruins have two extra games, with four Taylor Hall I've Moved On matches against the Sabres.
The Penguins have four games left against the bottom feeders (Sabres and Devils), and two more against the Flyers, who are adrift. By paper schedule, they look poised to take first place.
The Capitals arguably have the toughest schedule of all, or at least the one with the fewest "gimmes" since they have zero games remaining against the Sabres or Devils. But they largely "control their destiny" since six of their final 10 games are against the rest of the top four (3 vs. NYI, 2 vs. PIT and 1 vs. BOS).
Ultimately, this being sports and not a poorly conceived Super League, the "any given Sunday" cliche is in effect. Anything can happen. The Isles won five straight against the Bruins this year, then looked outmatched in a two-game set. The Penguins lost to the Sabres recently and nearly blew a 6-0 lead against the Devils. Injuries, fatigue, back-to-backs, etc. may all play a role.
But between now and next Tuesday night, the Isles or Caps could travel anywhere from sole possession of first place to dropping all the way down to fourth.
And after all that? Still seven games will remain for each of them. Breathe.

Buys That Include Sponsored Content Now 20% of Ad Revenue at Forbes
Company Says BrandVoice Program Helping Digital Ads Surpass Print in 2013
By Michael Sebastian. Published on October 10, 2013.
When Forbes rolled out AdVoice in 2010, the architects planned to blow up the traditional publishing-advertising model. Instead of offering companies just online banner ads, Forbes was giving advertisers the ability to publish their stories directly to the magazine's website.
It was a gamble that bothered some media critics, who said Forbes had just tossed a grenade at the ad/edit wall. But three years and a slight rebranding later, the same platform -- now dubbed BrandVoice -- at least appears to be helping Forbes revenue. The company said 20% of its ad revenue this year will come from buys that include Brand Voice elements. The proportion will hit 30% next year, the company said.
Accounting for the precise impact of BrandVoice remains tricky, partly because Forbes often sells it as part of larger packages that include other kinds of ads.
That 20% estimate is also below a Forbes prediction from the summer of 2012, when an executive said packages including BrandVoice would likely comprise 25% of revenue in 2013.
But the impact of the sponsored posts is clearly growing, and one reason, according to Forbes, that digital ad revenue at the company is surpassing print ad revenue this year for the first time, with 53% coming from the digital side, the company said. Digital ad revenue caught up with print ad revenue last year, when each side wound up contributing half, according to Forbes.
Digital-only publishers have moved quickly to embrace sponsored content, now usually cast as "native advertising" designed to resemble a site's regular editorial. But Forbes was among the first legacy media brands to put a major emphasis on sponsored posts.
Some have played catch-up, some by hiring the architects of BrandVoice. Kevin Gentzel, formerly chief revenue officer at Forbes, now has the same role at The Washington Post, where he introduced a similar program called BrandConnect.
Others remain cautious. Sid Holt, CEO of the American Society of Magazine Editors, and others have argued that disclosure and transparency are key to protecting readers' trust. But native advertising is predicated on the resemblance between the sponsored post and regular editorial.
Meredith Levien Kopick, who succeeded Mr. Gentzel at Forbes, joined The New York Times in August. It's widely suspected that she will introduce some form of sponsored content there, but the newsroom can be expected to resist if it strikes them as crossing traditional lines.
Sponsored posts on Forbes.com are marked "ForbesBrandVoice" and appear below the text "Connecting marketers to the Forbes audience" and a "What is this?" link to learn more.
Publishers can expect the trend toward sponsored content to continue, according to Forbes Chief Product Officer Lewis DVorkin. "We're in the first inning," he told Ad Age in July.

Although you typically can from an agreement for even small defects or blemishes in the residence (this would certainly thought about a "contingency"), an accepted offer makes up an agreement to get.

Purchasing A Home With Bad Credit Rating If there are impressive liens on the residential or commercial property, the winning bidder at the auction could be responsible to satisfy these liens in some cases, so its essential to check for any liens and also the priority of the liens before you bid at the auction.

Americans tend to look at British royalty in one of two ways: with a giddy awe that makes them fall all over themselves at the feet of visiting "royals;" or with a bemused disdain that harks back to their republican origins and their parting with King George.
But neither view has much relation to the reality of Britain's central symbol of governance. Or to the questions that symbol raises: Is the queen central or peripheral, relevant or outdated? This book doesn't resolve those questions, though it keeps them in sight. What it does, with relative success, is give readers a thoroughly detailed, largely sympathetic look at the current monarch's near half century on the throne.
This history often swings between fascination and tedium. The queen's relationship with her various prime ministers, for instance, is intriguing - a lesson in how seriously Britain's top politicians, whether Tory or Labour, take their duties to Her Majesty. The sometimes endless cataloguing of royal aides, equerries, and staff, on the other hand, is likely to be deadening to all but the most devout student of court life.
That other, more populist kind of royalty devote - the consumer of every rumor of scandal emanating from Buckingham Palace - will find plenty to latch onto in Sarah Bradford's "Elizabeth." As Bradford documents, there are ample facts behind the rumors, and, of course, there are now the public confessionals of Prince Charles and Diana.
But the Charles and Diana saga fits into a larger picture sketched by Bradford, which really began with that earlier royal trauma - the fateful love affair and abdication of Edward VIII in the 1930s.
Elizabeth was sharply aware of the events that led to her own father's elevation to the throne. That awareness heightened her sense of the commitment and self-sacrificial ethos needed to keep the monarchy on something approaching even keel. The tragedy of her life is that others in the Windsor family didn't seem to get that message - not her own sister, and certainly not her children.
But even while the crystalline image of a right-living royal family shattered around her, the Queen remained a dignified, thoughtful central presence, consistently on the right side in matters of state - such as opposing apartheid, supporting the Commonwealth, and favoring union with Europe - ready to bend to the public will on such matters as shrinking or eliminating the allowances given royal family members and paying income tax like her subjects.
Bradford offers criticisms of Elizabeth's lack of sensitivity to personal matters concerning her children, but gives her nearly flawless marks on her public role.
To return to those questions of where the throne resides in British life and politics, if Elizabeth's model could be perpetuated, the monarchy would probably have an assured future. It may anyway, given the depth of the tradition, but it certainly helps if the tradition can be bolstered by a life well led.

A ball valve of PVC construction is shown in Fig. 9. In this valve, a spherical ball with a hole drilled through its middle is rotated to either allow the flow to pass (the hole aligned with the valve inlet and outlet) or be blocked (no part of the hole is aligned with the valve inlet and outlet). Because of difficulties with fine flow control, throttling is not recommended for a ball valve. 6 The "gate" in a gate valve is just that, a metal plate the slides up or down in a slot to open or close the valve.
Design, including hydraulic and nonhydraulic design, is the focus in Chapters 13-15, which includes the design process and some hydraulic-design issues, as well as those concerned with air pockets in the network. The treatment of gravitydriven water networks is completed with Chapter 15 where a case study is thoroughly presented. Exercises, with solutions, appear in Chapter 16. 1 Energy Management In water networks, where the flow is driven by a pump, the designer normally has some degree of control over how much and where the energy is put into the network.
The kinetic energy would contribute in this case. By contrast, the change in potential energy per unit mass, g(z\ — ζ·ί), will not be zero because you are told that the route is hilly. For example, an upward climb will require an energy input to the system (supplied by the chemicals in your body) that power the muscles needed to make the climb. 2). The character of the pressure energy will be explored more fully below. A downward descent results in the reduction of potential energy of the system.

Hank, Frank, Roberto and Al
The death of Duke Snider, one of the greatest Brooklyn Dodgers and center fielders ever, has once again drawn attention to the golden era of New York baseball when Willie, Mickey and the Duke were all starring in center field and playing most of their games in New York. Several people in eulogizing the Duke have pointed out that while Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle ended up with clearly better careers than Snider, Snider was the first of the three to establish himself as a player and a star, and that during the five years they all played together in New York, 1951 and 1954-57, Snider was perceived as being almost as good as the other two. This is an interesting perspective particularly because most of today's fans know these players more for their entire careers than for how they might have looked in 1957 or, in Snider's case, October of 1955 when his hitting helped the Brooklyn Dodgers win their only World Series.
The era of Willie, Mickey and the Duke was surprisingly brief, not because the Dodgers and Giants moved to California, but because Snider was a bit older, Mays lost two years, 1952 and 1953 to military service, Mantle did not establish himself as the Yankees centerfielder until Joe DiMaggio retired after the 1951 season, and because after 1958 Snider was no longer primarily a center fielder. Thus, there were only five years, 1954-1958, when all three were primarily center fielders. During those five years, Willie, Mickey and the Duke ran up some extraordinary numbers combining for six pennants, three MVP awards and OPS+ of 155 for Snider, 167 for Mays and 191 Mantle.
The three New York center fielders include two who are among the five greatest ever at that position and one, Snider, who is still probably among the top ten. Although no three players at any position who all played in the same city were ever that good, the question of how unusual it is for talent at one position to be concentrated in one era is interesting. If, for example, Hank Greenberg and Jimmie Foxx had played for Dodgers and Giants, while Lou Gehrig was with the Yankees, the 1930s would have been the golden era for New York first baseman. There is another more recent example that gets overlooked a great deal.
The tail end of the period when Mays, Mantle and Snider dominated baseball and center field, saw the rise of another four players who would all play the same position for over a decade and all rank among the greatest ever at that position. Between 1956 and 1970, Henry Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Al Kaline and Frank Robinson all starred in right field and were among the best players in the game. Aaraon and Robinson are among the five greatest right fielders ever, while Clemente and Kaline are probably still among the top ten.
These four players are rarely thought of together because rather than playing in New York, the played in far smaller media markets like Milwaukee, Atlanta, Pittsburg, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Baltimore. They also were not the constant October presence that the center fielders from a slightly earlier era were. Mays, Mantle and Snider won six pennants in the five year period when they were playing together, while Aaron, Clemente, Kaline and Robinson combined for eight pennants over a fifteen year period.
During this fifteen year period, however, these four players won four MVP awards and posted OPS+ of 161 for Aaron, 132 for Clemente, 138 for Kaline and 156 for Robinson. Willie, Mickey and the Duke posted much better rate numbers, but the right fielders sustained these numbers over a period of more than twice as many seasons. If, however, only the seven year peak for these four players, 1961-1967, is considered the numbers are a lot more comparable 162 for Aaron, 142 for Clemente 149 for Kaline and 167 for Robinson. None of these players were as good as Mantle at his peak, but Mantle in the late 1950s was one of the most dominant players in the history of the game. While the center fielders still had a better peak the right fielders played together for a far longer period of time and posted career statistics that were at least as impressive.
Nobody is going to write any songs about Hank, Frank, Al and Roberto, nor will they ever be viewed as symbolizing a time and place the way Willie, Mickey and the Duke did, but they were probably more dominant for a longer period of time than any other group of players at the same position in the history of the game.
