Compost: Time to say goodbye to peat
The massive market in peat-based compost is contributing to carbon emissions and destroying precious natural habitats. Susan Murray goes in search of the planet-friendly alternative in Lewes – plus a link to The Wildlife Trusts' petition to ban peat-based products.
It's that time of year when we get busier gardening, whether it's on a windowsill, in the garden or on the allotment. Like everything, though, there are important decisions to be made about the right thing to do for the planet. A very significant one involves our choice of compost for potting or for topping up vegetable beds.
Many people will be making their own compost but if you need to buy in an extra bag or two then it is vital to ensure it is peat-free. Why? Well peat is hugely important to our planet – it acts as a carbon store, it's an essential habitat for wildlife, it has a role in water management, and even preserves things well for archaeology.
What is peat?
A peat bog is a type of nutritionally-rich wetland whose soft, spongy ground is composed largely of living and decaying sphagnum moss, which can store 20 times its own weight in water. Evolving over millennia, peat bogs are found throughout the world primarily in northern regions where they can be supported by cool temperatures and adequate rainfall. It's estimated that peatlands cover as much as 5% of the world's land surface.
Peat bogs are wonderful carbon sinks, storing carbon away for ever unless we mine the peat for gardening. In the UK, it's estimated that there are over 3 billion tonnes of carbon stored in our peatlands – equivalent to all carbon stored in the forests of the UK, Germany and France put together!
When we do choose to mine peat, however, three things happen:
A peat bog is drained prior to mining and immediately starts emitting greenhouse gases. After mining, the remaining peat continues to release carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.
The carbon in peat, when spread on a field or garden, quickly turns into carbon dioxide, adding to greenhouse gas levels.
The unique biodiversity of peat bogs is lost. Rare birds, butterflies, dragonflies and plants disappear. It is much harder to restore a peat bog than to replant a forest.
Peat is popular with gardeners and it's dirt cheap, but it is not a renewable resource. A paper by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) estimates that we would have to reduce our peat use to 2% of the current level in order to balance what we take out with what builds up every year. Peat use currently emits some 400,000 tonnes of carbon every year so it's crucial that we think about the future and stop using it now.
Going peat-free sounds so easy to do, but there is a big problem. Despite the government being aware of the issue and making suggestions to compost manufacturers and garden centres about the need to stop using peat in their products there is no legislation in place to enforce anything. Hence there is still plenty of compost based on peat available commercially and it can be quite difficult to find a peat-free version when you visit a garden centre.
Buying peat-free compost in Lewes
All is not lost, though. Locally, the place to go is Fi's Yard in North Court off Cliffe High Street in Lewes. Fiona makes a real feature of her commitment to locally–grown plants, sold in peat-free compost and recycled plastic pots. Plus, of course, you can buy bags of peat-free compost as well. It's a delightful spot that's doing its bit for Lewes and the planet.
Perhaps a bit less delightful is the Ham Lane waste depot, but if you are going there you can buy bags of what they call soil conditioner composted from our kitchen and garden waste. Slightly further afield Goldcliff Garden Centre on the road to Uckfield also stocks peat-free, while a little bird tells me that the Lewes Garden Centre in Kingston stocks seven different types/brands of peat-free compost.
And if your favourite garden centre doesn't sell peat-free well there is nothing like pester power from customers to make them consider changing their ways – and ideally stop stocking peat-based compost all together.
Happy gardening.
The UK's Wildlife Trusts have set up a petition asking for peat-based products to be banned – you can sign it and share it here.

Born in Bacup, Lancs in the 1930's, George Clarke left school at age 15 and joined GPO as a telephone engineer apprentice. He became a fully qualified telephone engineer after a two year hiatus wduring which completed National Service in the Royal Signals. He was married at age 23 and fathered two children, a boy and a girl. Later, he spent some years as in a career as a Domestic Appliance Engineer.

Burston Brass Band is a village band in Lancashire. It already had a history before Joe Clayton joined as a young member during the Second World War, but this is its history from the time he joined.
It is the amusing story of that special breed, the brass bandsman. Drawn entirely from the author's own experiences and knowledge, we share the bandsmen's drinking sprees, their feelings when first appearing on the contest stage, the way they 'nobble' other players and the awful rejection when disqualified from a contest after weeks of practice. And also the great camaraderie and the tremendous effort put into their playing, and the way the local community relied on them to be there, even when it meant tramping for hours through the snow on their regular Christmas Eve 'farm visits'.
Their dedication to playing is only surpassed by their dedication to drinking. Wherever they were playing, certain bandsmen would know exactly where to go to find an open pub or club - even when it meant 'special opening hours'! They often found themselves busking for ale, and the brass band was a good excuse for many to escape the guiding wifely hand.In a direct and witty narrative we are introduced to the great individuals who make up the band and whose often hilarious antics leave us aghast and amused.

Otherwise, this seems like a great mod and feels good to drive so far. I did a little testing with the default setup at Vanport w/Festival Curves.

1.5: to stay alive, or same old jive?
KC Golden
Two is too much. A 2 degree C. increase in the global average temperature – the working redline for climate catastrophe – would mean a "significantly different planet," disrupting food and water supplies, inundating coastal cities, obliterating island nations… Look at what 1 degree is doing already, as extreme record rainfall reports come in almost daily.
Climate justice advocates, led by the world's most vulnerable nations, are pushing in Paris to move the target to 1.5 degrees C. Science, sanity, and moral responsibility are with them, but rarely are those enough to win the day. Sober COP-watchers gave the drive for 1.5 little chance to prevail, as Big Fossil continues to box the negotiators.
But it looks like they just might pull it off. Mark Hertsgaard has a terrific piece explaining how and why. The context for the climate talks has shifted, as a swelling movement for climate justice presses demands for scientific rigor and social justice on national negotiators. There's almost as much drama in Paris right now around how the climate movement will work its will at the end of the week as there is around the language of the final agreement. The November 13 attacks made it impossible to go forward with immense planned marches, but activists have regrouped; climate negotiators are not the only locus of power in town.
This – as much as the climate agreement text – is the news from Paris: While the UN process and the ultimate agreement is a critical barometer of global will for climate action, it's not the motive force. Negotiators will move within the political space available, but that space is being expanded by the irresistible momentum of the climate movement; by state and local leaders engineering the transition on the ground; by the growing groundswell of divestment; by clean energy innovation and deployment sweeping global energy markets. You can feel the transition lurching into gear, and there's a sense here that the climate agreement will memorialize its progress rather than drive it.
A more responsible temperature target – one that saves millions of lives and quite a few nations – now seems to be within the emerging political space for climate action. But it could also be a diversion – a way to placate the growing movement for climate stabilization without doing the hard stuff. If the final text says 1.5, with no more serious commitment to achieving it than we've seen to 2 degrees, it won't be much of a victory.
Don't get me wrong – symbols matter in the climate fight… a lot. But this is COP 21, and we are well past the time when vague commitments to scientific abstractions offer much hope. How will we know 1.5 is more than a binkie?
Show us the ambition: Meeting current emission reduction commitments (INDCs) in the draft agreement would lead to a global temperature increase of around 3 degrees C. That's what nations are committing to DO, and until they step up with much stronger commitments, 1.5 is fluff. Key outcomes of the agreement must include a rapid cycle for "ratcheting up" those commitments to align with 1.5, a pledge to completely decarbonize the energy system by 2050, and a legal framework that offers real accountability for results.
And, of course, the money: Developing countries DID little to create the problem and HAVE little with which to battle it. Richer countries need to finance clean development, support adaptation to inevitable impacts, and pony up for damages caused by their emissions. This is a matter of fundamental fairness, but it's also a key to unlocking more aggressive emission reduction commitments. OXFAM's Heather Coleman draws a bead on what's needed here.
Deliver on equity: Justice is at the practical core of the climate challenge. Commitments to indigenous rights, just transition for workers, racial, gender, and intergenerational equity have been shunted from the operational text in Article 2 to the pre-amble -- Article Lip-Service. Stronger emission reduction commitments, finance, and respecting basic rights are necessary parts of the "solidarity package." The final agreement will be both wrong and ineffective if it fails to deliver all 3.
1.5 is the right and necessary goal. The Paris Agreement should embrace it – with arms and legs, hands and feet, heart and wallet, not just lips.
And whatever the negotiators do, the ball's back in our court next week.

Tristan Slater – Volunteer Swim 2011-2015
lesliecikra
Bring Back the Lady Vols Facebook Page
I have withheld my thoughts on the issue of the removal of the Lady Vol logo/brand from all teams apart from the Lady Vol Basketball team, but have recently felt the need to voice my opinion. I graduated from the University of Tennessee recently in May this year. I was a Vol on the men's swim team and was a leader for three years. I supported the decision of combining the Men's and Women's swim team and did my best as a leader to help facilitate that change. However, I do not support the rebranding and removal of the Lady Vol logo. I disagree for a variety of reasons. One, we are destroying a part of the history and tradition of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Second, we are taking a big part of the culture and identity away from past Lady Vols, present Lady Vols and future Lady Vols. Third, it does not make sense to remove all but one Lady Vol brand. It is not equitable and does not make any sense in terms of a marketing or rebranding decision.
Firstly, there is a huge part of history and tradition associated with the Lady Vol logo/brand. As I know you are fully aware the brand is reflective of the work of Coach Pat Summit in the early years of her career as well as many years after that. She built this framework and structure to allow the Lady Volunteers to become a legacy and a tradition. However, Pat Summit and her players, in the greatest respect, were not the only the ones that held the Lady Vol brand high. As I'm sure they would agree the brand is not fully reflective of their efforts but the efforts of all Lady Vol teams. All the Lady Vol teams hold the brand high and continue to do so. For example, the success of Ralph and Karen Weekly and the Lady Vol Softball team and the breakout success of Matt Kredich and the Lady Vol Swimming team. All Lady Vol teams have carried this brand with grace, dignity and a fiery passion to win championships. They have created history and tradition and built a powerful brand. Why destroy a powerful brand? Big businesses like Coca Cola would never remove any of its brands like Sprite, Dasani or Fanta.
Secondly, we are ripping apart the identity of past Lady Vols, present Lady Vols and future Lady Vols. Many Lady Vols deeply associate themselves with the Lady Vol logo, and rightly so. They have given their all to the logo, grown because of the logo and moved on to change the world because of the logo. It is part of their identity. They would bleed orange for that logo just as I would bleed orange for the Power T. This can be illustrated in the overwhelming response from the Lady Vol Alumni to protect their identity and the Lady Vol logo. Equality among men and women is a sensitive but important subject. We watch the extremist views in some Middle East countries. Their law is prejudicial. It does not promote equality amongst men and women. I believe that we as a society have not come from that level of inequality. We have as a society built towards a more equal society, but I cannot help but think that by removing the Lady Vol logo we are disempowering women as a whole. We are destroying something that women built. Furthermore, during WW2 women took a large role in maintaining industry and the nation, whilst men were at war. Women were empowered by this. Posters came out that spread the message that women could do it themselves. A brand was created. However when the men returned, this empowering brand was replaced with the more masculine brand of the "stay at home" wife. We had taken a step backwards. We destroyed an identity because we destroyed the brand. Let us learn from history and not repeat the same mistakes.
Thirdly, and lastly, it does make sense to remove the Lady Vol logo from all but one women's team. It is not equitable. Furthermore, the rebranding and marketing decision has a specific goal: to build unity under one brand. I fully understand the goal. However what I fail to understand is how the marketing decision is not equitable towards everyone. Why can one woman say she is a Lady Vol and another cannot? We all understand that the Lady Vol logo cannot be taken away from the Lady Vol Basketball team because of its rich history in Knoxville and around the globe. Nobody at Tennessee would want to disrespect Pat Summit's lifelong career by taking the Lady Vol logo away from the Basketball team. But the ironic thing is that we are still disrespecting Pat Summit's legacy. Her legacy was not that of winning championships but the legacy of empowering women in sports. The University of Tennessee should be proud of that fact and should do everything in its power to protect that image.
I write this letter on the set of values that Matt Kredich bestowed onto me. The three pillars of any successful individual and more importantly of any successful team are: Respect, Project and Protect. Let us respect the image of the Lady Vols, let us project to the world that our institution empowered women in sport. And finally let us protect the rich history of the Lady Vol logo and all that have served under it.

Learning & Values Essentials Issues
Belief in the Wall
By Shmuel Kaplan
The National Menorah sponsored by American Friends of Lubavitch stands ready in front of the White House before the start of Chanukah. (Photos: Israel Bardugo)
The festival of Chanukah focuses our attention on the gift of religious freedom that we enjoy in the United States. This freedom is complemented by the "wall of separation" between Church and State, as Thomas Jefferson described the non-establishment clause of the Constitution.
Many Americans Jews have a fervent, even religious, belief in this "wall of separation" and are convinced that it is their ultimate guarantor and protector. While I also subscribe to the importance of this constitutional doctrine, I do not raise it to the level of a religious belief. After all, a number of fine democracies do have official religions, England, to name one. I am further convinced that as it is applied today, the "wall of separation" creates a danger to the very sustainability of the Republic.
I come to this conclusion both from a public policy and religious point of view.
Knowledge and information by themselves are of little use in helping us to make choices unless they are framed by an underlying value systemFreedom of religion is one aspect of a larger democratic system by which we are governed. Democracy itself is the citizens' ability to choose their governing system and representatives to execute that governance. In order to function properly, democracy requires that citizens make choices both for government and personal matters. As the founding fathers duly noted, this system can only work where there is an educated and aware citizenry.
It should be recognized, however, that knowledge and information by themselves are of little use in helping us to make choices unless they are framed by an underlying value system. For example, the knowledge that one therapy for an illness might prolong life for two years with higher function while another therapy might prolong life for three years with lesser function is meaningless unless we can ascribe a value to longer life and higher function.
A democracy is similarly dependent not only on an educated citizenry, but more importantly, a citizenry with common core values. (Values are also the foundation which makes personal freedom meaningful and productive.)
Personal religion is a value system which expresses peoples' most deeply held convictions. Likewise, the repository of a nation's common values is in its religious traditions. In the United States, this religious value system is vested in one of the three monotheistic religions practiced by over ninety percent of the population. This kind of broad homogeneity of values is what underlies the relative stability of most successful democracies.
In effect, democracy is far more dependent on the commonly held belief/value system of the population than it is on the non-establishment of a particular religion. Diminishing or weakening of this elementary aspect of commonality is ultimately destructive to the very democracy we seek to protect. For this reason a democracy needs to encourage, enhance and promote a general religious orientation among the population in order to ensure a common value system. There are democracies, particularly in Europe, where the population is not particularly religious in comparison to the United States. However, this is only in practice since their belief/value system remains strong.
The imperative of commonly held beliefs and values is applicable to all democracies, but for the United States it is even more acute. This is because the United States is a polyglot nation of immigrants from various parts of the world, each group with its own culture, habits, (English is not the official) language and even values. This condition forms a natural centrifugal force that is constantly tugging at the fabric of society and often pulling different parts of the country in different directions.
For a time it was thought that the answer to this problem was the melting pot approach of homogenizing immigrant groups into a unified cultural identity. It did not work. Today we recognize that multiculturalism is an inescapable and growing fact of modern American life and it is indeed celebrated as the way of the future. The question then is what will enable us to overcome the power of the above mentioned centrifugal forces and hold the country together? The only answer to this problem is maintaining the fundamental common beliefs and values of the general population as they are vouchsafed in religion. This underlying foundation of society, if strong enough, can compensate for the spectrum of multiculturalism flourishing in the Country.
It is our common religious values that are the ultimate glue that hold the Country togetherNo other democracy faces this challenge to the degree that the United States does, and therefore, it is critical that the U.S. government do everything possible, short of violating the establishment clause, to foster greater religious belief among the people. Raising the doctrine of the establishment clause to the level of a complete "wall of separation" will lead to undermining the very bonds that hold the Country together. Jefferson could not have foreseen this situation and I believe that even he would negate the notion of the "wall of separation" in today's conditions.
It is our common religious values that are the ultimate glue that hold the Country together.
This message is also central to the festival of Chanukah. On Chanukah, we as Jews celebrate the victory over the Assyrians and the restoration of our ability to practice our religion. But this celebration is not done exclusively in our homes and synagogues; rather, it is done in a way that publicizes the miracle to the outside world. The point is to expose others in our community to the miracle of Chanukah and thereby to also encourage a stronger religious atmosphere among all the people of the country in which we live.

Theocracy? Reading over your article, I couldn't help but compare it to what Hitler stated about Christianity and how killing all the Jews would help keep the country un-threatened by the minority voice. You seem to have forget one simple thing about the USA. As a Republic, we are expected not to undercut or treat minorities as less than or with no voice. Though "democracy" actually mean 'majority rule' a "republic' does not. So, until the religious extremists in America realize that they like majority rule when it is in their favor but get all hell-bent when it is not, (like freeing slaves, allowing woman to vote, allowing Quakers to live and not be ex-communicated, allowing Jews positions of government or even allowed into the country, etc) all people are supposed to be treat equal in America. However often this is not respects shows how uneducated Americans are. Again: A Republic, like the USA, was not created to be a majority ruled country. That I am sure was understood by ALL founders.

By his own admission, the return of vocalist David Readman (missing since '15 Whisky Fingers CD), prompted Primal Fear/Sinner guitarist Beyrodt to opt for a more Zeppelin approach on the Circle's sixth outing. Rest assured, it's not an overriding influence as previous touchstones, like pre-MTV Whitesnake and the German string-bender's obsession with Hendrix are just as readily apparent. To those a little slow on the up-take, Voodoo Circle ply a bluesy '70s hard rock, with the emphasis on guitar.
Out of the gates, a buzzing hornet's nest on "Flesh & Bone" displays Alex's fleet finger flourishes (adroitly ascending/descending the fretboard with equal aplomb), in an up-tempo context. The audible Hammond organ is buried in the mix. The ear-candy introduction to "Wasting Time" (plus tinkling bells throughout) may be a Led moment, but the lyrics are more classic Coverdale ("Bless me Father, for I have sinned"). A jangly begun "Magic Woman Chile" becomes a echoing, spacey trip, with recurrent utterance of the titular phrase. Never the biggest fan of Plant/Page, to these ears it recalls Strange & Beautiful era Crimson Glory (which was more of the former and none of the latter), which I understand was heavily influenced by the Brits' music.
Speaking of title numbers, synth laden and funky (almost danceable) "Locked & Loaded" offers the chorus: "Big boom bam, here for your Momma." Prominent Zep feel on "Devil With An Angel Smile" (watch out for THOSE women!), especially the guitar tone/chords features a stripper strut, plus ripping guitar break. "Straight For The Heart" could be a Snake outtake, an airy slice of hard rock. Another ballad, "Eyes Full Of Tears" initially has Readman a cappella. Mid-paced and meandering, apart from the pop keys, the guitar work in "Devil's Cross" owes a nod to Jimmy Page. Another bump & grind tribute to "bad girls", thumping "Trouble In The Moonlight" should come with a Coverdale seal of approval, although it's been decades since David's troupe strung together killer guitars like this one (probably since Sykes was in the band).
Is that a saxophone on vintage smoky lounge "This Song Is For You"? A sleepy, slice of blues (as Beyrodt's guitar gentle weeps). Disc ends with "Children Of The Revolution". Despite the oft used title, it's an original.
One for the older crowd. Check it out!

TennCare Acquiesces to CMS's Demands for Demo Revisions
Bowing to CMS's request after another public comment period, Tennessee is reluctantly pursuing a series of changes to the pending TennCare III demonstration that had been approved by the Trump administration for a start date of Jan. 8, 2021. In what one source says is an unusual back-and-forth on public display, the state will abandon its notorious plans to implement a closed Medicaid formulary and adopt a fixed funding mechanism.
Shortly before President Joe Biden took office, the Trump administration in January 2021 approved Tennessee's request to use an "aggregate cap" for Medicaid funding that many industry observers had likened to a block grant. Through that approach, Tennessee would have received federal Medicaid funds based on a fixed budget target that is determined by CMS and the state using historical enrollment and costs data. If spending fell below that target cap but certain quality goals were met, the state would earn up to 55% of annual savings to reinvest back into other state health programs.

The objective was to minimize environmental impact, to improve the carrying comfort and to increase visibility at the point of sale of the wholesalers. The replacement of the traditional wooden pallet by Styrofoam minimizes the material and recycling efforts. Due to the weight reduction by 86% and the ergonomic grips in the double folded cardboard combined with the strapping band, it is easier to carry. An opening in the cardboard seat cover makes assemble parts inside visible, so there is no need to open and destroy the packaging in order to verify its contents. White label and grey, tailored packaging distinguishes the WC at the PoS.

The real estate sector is struggling to emerge from the rough patch it hit a couple of years ago. Inventory has been piling up across the country as buyers put on hold purchase decisions.
A sluggish economy, uncertainties on the job front and high home loans rates have all added to investor apathy towards real estate. This has been further fuelled by developers' inability to bring down prices despite lack of demand due to high input costs.
As a case in point, the National Capital Region (NCR), not long ago among the most favoured destinations for real estate investors, is witnessing a pile-up of unsold inventory. According to Liases Foras, a real estate research company, in April-June 2014, it had the highest backlog of unsold units in the country, which at the present rate of absorption would take nearly four-and-a-half years to clear.
The total unsold units across six major real estate markets -Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai Metropolitan Region, National Capital Region and Pune - stands at a huge 6.4 lakh units. And then there is fresh supply coming in at a fast pace.
In such a situation, where are real estate prices headed? Would they fall because of simple supply-demand dynamics? Should you invest at this point or wait for some more time? If you have savings to make the down payment and want to move into your own home, which are the best places that you should consider? We look at all these aspects in our cover story. The good news is that the sentiment in the real estate sector is improving.
A Sentiment index, launched by Knight Frank and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI ), has risen to 69 in the quarter of April-June, up from 50 since it was launched in 2013, indicating that the outlook of developers and lenders is turning positive. Moreover, the government has made several announcements in the Union Budget that are likely to rejuvenate the sector, including providing tax incentives to Real Estate Investment Trusts (Reits), easing of foreign direct investment norms for the sector and incentives for building affordable homes.
All this is likely to once again set the sector in motion. Investments made now might give decent returns, if decisions are taken wisely, considering price, location and construction quality.
However, the days of flipping property to make quick gains are over. Investment in real estate has to be for the long haul. In case you take the plunge right away, our advice is that you must bargain hard to get the best deal. Builders and brokers will only too happy to offload inventory at a discount. And if you are not in a tearing hurry, maybe you should wait a while and look at the festive offers from both developers and lenders before you strike the deal.


Bad Guys is riotously funny. The first time I read Bad Guys, I seriously couldn't stop laughing. The "heroes" are animals typically viewed as the villains: Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha. Sure, they may be accused of eating people – they may even eat each other (I'm looking at you, Snake!) – but it doesn't mean they're bad guys. OK, but is it so wrong if the bad guys just wanna be good? Lucky for us, at least three more books are on the way.
An endearing winner from a much loved local author. Witty but comforting, with a wry and humorous cast of characters, this is a perfect antidote to today's stress.
Whether it's saving $600 a year buying store brand groceries or $85 a year using hand towels instead of paper towels, buying David Pogue's new book might be one of the best investments you can make.
A collection of short stories, exploring cataclysm in its many forms, from the personal to the global--and often both together. The title piece of the book is a literal set of 100 tiny stories, each touching on apocalyptic themes in its own way. A playful, absorbing series of experiments; if Kelly Link and Lydia Davis wrote a book together, the result might be something like this.
This a powerful career spanning collection by a poet who was tortured and jailed for eight years for his political activism in Morocco. The poetry is dark and unsettling but also beautiful and uplifting. Laabi's voice is one of proud, even exuberant defiance. This collection is a punch to jaw, but the kind of punch that lets you know you're ready to fight.

JetBlue is bringing back All You Can Jet (AYCJ) in the best way ever, assuming you can score a pass. Rather than just a month of unlimited travel the new version covers a full year. Plus it includes a companion. The bad news is that there are only 3 of these new AYCJ "tickets" available and you cannot buy them. But you can win one if you're lucky.
Everyone who buys a nonrefundable ticket between now and 15 December is entered to win. Each one-way ticket purchased counts so a round-trip ticket is two entries. Buying a JetBlue Vacations package gets a double entry (because round-trip ticket). There is also a mail-in option if (like me) you already bought your upcoming trips.
The All You Can Jet pass is good for travel for one year, between February 1, 2018, and January 31, 2019. The pass does not cover any government taxes or fees that the flights would incur. Nor does the winner earn any TrueBlue points for the booking. Mint seats are excluded (no surprise) as are EMS upgrades.
But the AYCJ pass does include a companion. And there's no requirement to name just one companion. Each booking can have a different friend join you for the travels.
The other main restriction is that all bookings must be confirmed 24 hours in advance. Any change within the 24-hour window from scheduled departure will incur a $150 change fee. All bookings must be completed over the phone rather than online.
I did the regular AYCJ in 2009 and 2010. It was incredible. In some ways there was more pressure to travel aggressively then to get value out of the monthly pass versus access for a full year. Whether maximizing weekends (why no go to Puerto Rico twice the same weekend??) or positioning between meetings and leisure and my first visit to Maho Beach, it was an amazing time. So many friends made and I still keep in touch with a bunch years later.
I doubt I'll win this time around. I expect there will be a lot of entries and my few mailed in cards won't get picked. But I'll still spend a few hours thinking up crazy itineraries worth trying. Because it is fun to dream.
MAIL-IN ENTRY METHOD: During the Sweepstakes Period, hand print your complete name, address including zip code, daytime and evening telephone numbers including area code and a valid e-mail address (optional) on a 3″ x 5″ piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with sufficient postage to: All You Can Jet Sweepstakes c/o Centra 360, 1400 Old Country Road, Suite 417, Westbury, NY 11590 ("Free Entry Method" or "Free Entries"). All Free Entries must be postmarked by 12/15/2017 and received by 12/22/2017. For all Free Entries: Limit one Entry per envelope, per day.
#AYCJ is how I came to follow you ???? I wish they did the month long passes again too!
One other thing to keep in mind… They will issue you a 1099-MISC for the ARV of the pass, which is $20K, so someone in the 35% tax bracket would potentially have to pay up to a $7K tax bill for "winning". For some, it could be worth it, but if you have a regular job and and in a high tax bracket, it's questionable whether you'd be able to take advantage of enough "free" travel to cover the $7K+ in expenses winning would end up costing you.
You can also dispute the value of that win. If nothing else, just keep a list of the fares based on what you fly and use that as evidence when you file with the IRS. Getting airfare at 65% off is a very good deal IMO.
Good point. I hadn't considered that you don't have to use their estimate. Easy enough to take a screenshot of the actual price when booking. Thanks for pointing that out.
So sweepstakes are now considered content?
When they involve a year of air travel they sure are. My goal is to help people learn about the industry so that they can travel more and travel better while spending less money. This qualifies in that category to me.
Time to start hand writing some entries!
Good to know. Still gotta give it my best shot!
What's the mail-in option for folks like me who have already bought the JB vacations packages?
Same as for everyone else. Up to 15 can be mailed in, I believe. Details at the bottom of that story.
Only if you're stupid about it. Document the airfare as you go. Submit the docs as the cash value of the prize. Pay taxes (~30%) on that number. Far better than paying retail for the tix.

Breaking the Speed of "Like," Snapchat passes on $3 billion (infographic)
Snapchat is informally valued at $3 billion thanks to Facebook. Why did it refuse the offer you could not refuse? David Michaelis comments.
aNewDomain.net — Snapchat, that bright-burning star of a photo-messaging service, was just courted by Facebook for a cool $3 billion. The value of the scalding hot app has skyrocketed since its debut in 2011 but it hasn't made a single penny yet. Breaking the speed of "Like," it seems, is about much more than a financial future. So, why the enormous valuation?
The ghostly company owes much of its success to the self-described selfie generation. These users believe that the speed and privacy of Snapchat is better and cooler than Facebook. For many, it marks the beginning of a new way to share.
To add to the identity of this generation, "selfie" has been named word of the year by The Oxford Dictionary. Yes, that's correct, the most-esteemed guardian of the English language has bestowed a prestigious honor upon arguably the most-embarrassing phenomenon of the digital age: the selfie. So, grab a smartphone, put on your best duck face, and celebrate.
The Future of Social
Let's not confuse the word selfie with an engaged, I-centric community led by the uber-young. Or should we? The 23-year-old founders of Snapchat dropped out of Harvard and Stanford (mirroring the career trajectory of Mark Zuckerberg), but they have a different vision for the future of visual communication than the founder of Facebook.
Snapchat's 23-year-old co-founder Evan Spiegel refused the $3 billion offer for Snapchat, and the big questions is: Was he right?
This week's price skyrockets the informal valuation of Snapchat, which a short time ago was deemed to be worth around $800 million.
How do we assign a monetary value to a company with users that exchange a reported 350 million photos every day? It was clearly worth more than $3 billion to Spiegel, which means his concept of value extends far beyond the financial gains of a company. Snapchat, like Facebook once, looks toward social influence and a "cool" factor that, for some, is worth more than anything.
Snapchat or Facebook?
Here are 5 pertinent reasons Spiegel made the right call, taken from The Olympian.
Facebook is a terrible fit for Snapchat.
It's more fun to run your own company and shoot for the stars.
If Spiegel wanted to sell, he should hold out for more money.
Money is overrated.
Passing on a billion or more dollars can work.
Read the extended take here.
Each reason above centers on the key idea that Snapchat is not Facebook, has no desire to be Facebook, and is in a position much like Facebook was in its early years. Who knows where Snapchat will go?
The surveys show that many are leaving Facebook — specifically the crucial younger demographic which includes users age 18 to 29. This generation is the one that first propelled Facebook into prominence, and now 38 percent say they expect to spend less time using the site this year. See the infographic below for more analysis.
The two entities, Facebook and Snapchat, are not identical though, and those migrating young people risk a different kind of exposure with the silly ghost. My previous post and infographic on the state of Snapchat helps put the cool factor into context.
Another Take
While all of this money-throwing is serious social business, there is always the lighter side of life. Here's Policymics hilarious take on Snapchat's $3 billion dollar pass.
Yo Zuckerbro,
I wanted to hit you up personally to tell you how gutted I am that stuff didn't work out between Facebook and Snapchat. It's a bummer, but Facebook just isn't the smexy young hookup we're looking for, $3 billion or not. Sorry to be a buzzkill.
I'm sure you get it, brosepher. You can probably still remember being a hot-to-trot brogrammer, back in the day, when you were still 23. Remember how, when you weren't hella old, shit just kind of came to you, like how you had your hand on the pulse of digital innovation, or how your parents gave you a brand-new Escalade, and then pulled strings so you could park it next to your high school?
We both know what it's was like to be a little too badass for college — you for Harvard, and me for Stanford. We also both know how to party hard in Palo Alto. I bet your ragers with Sean Parker are pretty similar to the stuff that got my frat, Kappa Sigma, kicked off campus.
And then there's the fact that we're both total geniuses. You came up with Facemash to look at pictures of chicks, and I invented Picaboo so hotties would send me nude selfies … "

Women chosen for Special Forces selection faced with arbitrary, lengthy waits
by Norwood Jul 25, 2016
If women are allowed to go to selection for SOF, then they should be permitted to go immediately and not be forced to wait. Currently, a minimum number of women must qualify and volunteer for a given class. That means if you're a woman, and you want to go to selection—and you've been deemed worthy, like the two women recently chosen—you must wait until a minimum number has been reached before you can attend.
The two female soldiers identified are going to have to wait until next year, whether they know it or not. By next spring they'll be able to go if they have the requisite cohort of female candidates joining them. If they don't, they aren't going. I can't help but wonder if the selection of these two was made public to discourage these two women from moving on. It's unfair that others have given up and moved on to other things to further their careers due to the cohort requirement and the unknown waiting time. From what I understand, the women who made it through Ranger School went through a very long training process leading up to their attendance, and were forced to wait for the process in the same fashion. Their journey began at the academy.
Taking soldiers out of operational cycles to satisfy political objectives is not OK for the force, and is a wasteful use of tax dollars. Congressional oversight will, someday, look at the money invested into these projects meant to maximize the success rate of the first females sent into the fray and decide it was not an efficient use of government spending and resources. If it's necessary to treat an applicant as a professional athlete before they enter the force when others can prepare, pass, and meet the standard on their own, then there's an imbalance and an unfair system is in place. I've no doubt some women can pass selection and train up on their own. There are women around the world who are warfighters already, without significant preparation.
This woman from the Afghan Special Forces serves alongside her husband and Crisis Response Unit teammates during a clearance operation.
If someone is qualified to attend SFAS, then they should be afforded the opportunity to go to it when they're ready and accepted into a class, not deferred for no concrete reason. The military, which is often so cautious but is also willing to take huge risks on the battlefield, should consider each applicant like a product in need of development. So many go to selection and fail and quit. We need to know who they are upfront, without a significant amount of time spent preparing them. It seems like a political maneuver and not a tactical one that has SOF, and its fighting capability, in mind. I think I might even endorse a separate and reasonable standard for women, leaving men's unchanged, rather than making women prepare to go only to have their ticket pulled for factors beyond their control.

How are Federal Criminal Cases prosecuted Differently that Criminal Cases in the Florida State Courts?
Federal criminal cases are very different from criminal cases in Florida state courts. Below are examples of some of the differences.
The Manner of Investigation
FBI Agents remove evidence from an office after executing a search warrant.
Federal criminal investigations are generally proactive, while state criminal investigations are generally reactive.
Federal law enforcement agencies generally investigate a matter for some time before they make an arrest. In fact, by the time a person realizes that they are under federal investigation, federal law enforcement agents may have been investigating them for many months. In contrast, Florida law enforcement officers generally begin their investigation at or near the time of the arrest.
Federal Prosecutors Can Pick Their Cases
Sometimes, the federal criminal courts and the state criminal courts both have jurisdiction over a case. In these situations federal prosecutors have a choice – they can take the case themselves, or they can leave it to the state prosecutors. The federal prosecutor's decision on whether or not to take the case will be based on the priorities of their U.S. Attorney's Office, but they generally pick cases that they believe are going to be easy to prove. State prosecutors, on the other hand, don't have this luxury. If a crime takes place in their jurisdiction and the federal prosecutors don't take it, they have to deal with it.
Federal Grand Juries v. State Grand Juries
In Federal Court, the 5thAmendment to the U.S. Constitution requires that persons accused of a felony (a crime that can be punished by more than a year in prison) must be charged by a Federal Grand Jury Indictment unless the person voluntarily waives that right. In Florida Courts, the Florida Constitution requires only that those persons accused of a capital crime (a crime punishable by death) must be charged by a Grand Jury Indictment.
In both the Federal and Florida systems, when the charges don't require an indictment, the prosecutor can charge the case in a document called an information.
The Federal Government Has Extensive Resources
Cases in federal court are investigated by agencies such as the FBI, DEA, Homeland Security, and Secret Service. These agencies, along with the United States Department of Justice, have large budgets, and essentially limitless resources with which to investigate alleged criminal activity. State agencies, on the other hand, generally have fewer resources at the disposal to investigate alleged criminal activity.
Are The Rules of Criminal Procedure In Federal Court Different than the Rules in Florida State Courts?
Yes, the rules of criminal procedure in federal court are different from the rules of criminal procedure in Florida State Courts.
For example, in Florida courts, the rules of criminal procedure allow for a defense attorney to depose (interview under oath) all of the witnesses that the state prosecutor intends to call at trial before the trial. In the federal system, however, the defense attorney generally is not allowed to depose witnesses before trial and often doesn't even know who the witnesses will be until the first day of trial.
Is Federal Criminal Sentencing Law Different Than Florida Criminal Sentencing Law?
The rules for federal criminal sentencing are completely different than the rules for Florida criminal sentencing.
Federal District Court Judges must take into consideration The United States Sentencing Guidelines when sentencing a defendant.
Federal judges, when deciding what sentence to impose, will consider a variety of factors, including the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The United States Sentencing Guidelines provide a suggested sentencing range of imprisonment, house arrest, or probation for the judge to impose. The length of the sentence the guidelines suggest is based on the severity of the offense (for example, in a drug case the weight of the drug), the defendant's role in the offense, and the defendant's criminal history. Federal judges take other factors into account, including the nature and circumstances of the offense, the history, and characteristics of the defendant, and the need to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities. As long as the charged offense does not have a minimum mandatory sentence, federal judges have a tremendous amount of discretion in their sentencing decisions.
In contrast, as stated by the Florida Legislature, the primary purpose of sentencing in Florida state courts is to punish the offender.
The Florida Statutes set out a system for sentencing in the Florida Courts.
When deciding what sentence to impose, Florida circuit court judges use a system called the Florida Criminal Punishment Code. That system assigns a certain number of points to the current charges, as well as additional points for any prior criminal history. Once a certain number of points are reached, the general rule is that the judge must sentence the offender to Florida state prison – the more points, the more prison time. Florida law does allow Florida Judges to sentence a defendant below the prison sentence required by the Florida Criminal Punishment Codein some circumstances. For example, if the judge finds that a defendant requires specialized treatment for a mental disorder unrelated to substance abuse, or that the need for payment of restitution to the victim outweighs the need for a prison sentence, or that the victim was an initiator, willing participant, aggressor, or provoker of the incident, then the judge can impose a probationary sentence rather than send the defendant to prison.

I was ashamed of who I was and where I came from, which is wrong. Johnny is the son of Mrs. The analysis of this short story and the of the work of Emile Durkheim shows the relationship of the two in the field of Sociology. Mrs Wilson will not believe that Boyds family Is wealthy, because she stigmatizes Black people as poor people. But it also shows how a white boy and a black boy can have a relationship to each other with no prejudices; they consider each other equal persons. The title of the story itself,? She also thinks that Boyd has a lot of siblings l.
They were admitted into the series of experimental preparations. The characters would occasionally make guest appearances outside their own strips. When Johnny Wilson comes home with Boyd, his black friend, Mrs. I can imagine her being the typical housewife, struggling in the kitchen, gossiping and worrying with the neighbourhood women and fussing over minor details concerning her precious son, Johnny. It had a very straightforward theme; don't make assumptions on how someone looks. Sometiemes, you also need to sacrifice just to perform your job very well. Fitted into the story are some important themes that still continue to exist in today's society.
The lottery is conducted by Mr. Thus, Jackson not only demonstrates the power of conformity, given that none of the townspeople protest or question the ritual, but also the human capacity for mindless brutality and evil. He Al Capone was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1899, of an immigrant family. Zaroff has many resources to help him including a big pack of hunting dogs. Wilson thought since Boyd was African American that his family was poor and didn't have much money to buy food. This shows the first category of self- fulfilling prophecies because it was just Mrs.

Everyone says college is the time of your life, and you need to make the most of it. Area of knowledge 6: recognising and responding to abuse: 1. Instantly feeling sorry for him and wanting to take care of him, she makes sure Johnny doesn't take advantage of him and starts feeding the new boy. Words: 398 - Pages: 2. Wilson, her son Johnny, and Johnny's friend, Boyd are all different people with different personality's.
After You, My Dear Alphonse!
The character of Tess Hutchinson is also of significance. Wilson says plenty of narrow things, which are mentioned below by some examples. I think Jacksons message with writing this story is to show that America does not live up to some of the fundamental principles that build the nation. To make sure you're not hurt again I swear I'd give my life for you I've tasted love beyond all fear And you should know it's love that brought you hear And in one perfect night when the stars burned liek new, I knew what I must do I'll give you a million things I'll never own I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown You will be who you want to be You, can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear i'll give my life for you Sometimes I wake up reaching for him I feel his shadow brush my head But there's just moonlight on my bed Was he a ghost was he a lie?

Her last try to prof that she is better than Boyd and his family. Mrs Wilson on the other hand, does not consider Boyd as an equal person to herself and her son. The story sets place in a small town of three hundred or so people. She questions his family and background with hesitation, as it was something he would be embarrassed about.
To those who treat her kindly, she will return her thanks. Shirley Jackson was an influential American author. She immediately gets flash backs to back when slavery was legal. The effect that it has on they story, is that it build a tension for the reader who wants to know more about the characters in the story. Graves remains in the periphery of the reader's mind after his first mention.
Wilson denies Boyd any more gingerbread and chastises him for being ungrateful. Every year a lottery is held, in which one someone is cruelly chosen to be stoned to death by the people in the town to be able to provide more for the others in the town. In Erich Fromm we notice a compassionate concern for the unfolding of life. She is best known for her stories and novels of horror and the occult, rendered more terrifying because they are set against realistic, common place backgrounds.

It does though, in no way stop them from continuing their playing. Perhaps you have responsibilities that needs to be taken care of?.

Wilson denies Boyd any more gingerbread and chastises him for being ungrateful. Summers makes sure that everyone who needs to be at the lottery is present and accounts for those who are unable to attend. On a clear morning, June 27th, the townspeople, starting with the children, begin to assemble for the lottery to begin at ten in the morning.

Q: belongsToMany, hybrid relation I have 2 simple models. First, one is called Builds (mysql) and the second one is called SlotOptions (mongodb). Each build can have 5 assigned slots. Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/55132863/2513428
select * from `builds` where `builds`.`id` = 37 limit 1
SlotOptions.find({"heroName":{"$in":[37]}},{"typeMap":{"root":"array","document":"array"}})

Table. build_slot_option  (mysql)
+----------------+--------+----------------------------------------+
|      Name      |  Type  |                  Desc                  |
+----------------+--------+----------------------------------------+
| slot_option_id | char50 | // FK, Name of slot option f.e "Hero1" |
| build_id       | int    | // FK, Build id                        |
| pos            | int    | // Number 1-5                          |
+----------------+--------+----------------------------------------+

slot_option_id - is a string that contains a hero name, it's not an ID in fact.
Example:
+----------------+----------+-----+
| slot_option_id | build_id | pos |
+----------------+----------+-----+
| Hero1          |       37 |   1 |
| Hero2          |       37 |   2 |
| Hero3          |       37 |   3 |
| Hero4          |       37 |   4 |
| Hero5          |       37 |   5 |
+----------------+----------+-----+

Table. Builds (mysql)
+------+------+------------------------+
| Name | Type |          Desc          |
+------+------+------------------------+
| id   | int  | // PK, of Builds Table |
| ...  | ...  | // and other columns   |
+------+------+------------------------+

This is the build class, and usage example.
 class BuildDB extends Model
{
    use HybridRelations;
    protected $connection = 'mysql';
    public function slots()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(
            SlotOptions::class, 'build_slot_option', 'build_id', 'slot_option_id'
        );
    }
}

BuildDB::with('slots')->find(5);

When it comes to the second query it should not insert the build id there {"$in":[37]} just all the slot names, from tb build_slot_option slot_option_id column. For example {"$in":['Hero1','Hero2']}

Jason Segel takes a bite into cake tasting during the film "The Five-Year Engagement."
Every wedding has something that makes it a signature event. For one bride it could be all about the dress. For the next, the most important aspect could be the music. And then there are the weddings that revolve around the food. From appetizers to hors d'oeuvres, some nuptials put a great deal of importance on what is around to eat. While you may have a supreme steak or excellent finger foods on your big day, there is no wedding food more important than the wedding cake.
Wedding cakes these days can cost upward of $1,000. They can be robed in fondant or adorned with real flowers. Perhaps they are a towering pile of cupcakes or mini cakes. No matter how you slice it, the wedding cake is one thing people don't forget — and it isn't just because of the taste. The wedding cake is more than just a confectionery work of art, it is an experience the entire wedding party remembers, whether the bride and groom tenderly feed each other bites or smash it in their beloved's face. That personal connection to the confection is why we remember any movie scene that features a wedding cake.
In movies, wedding cakes tend to steal the spotlight. They can sing, much like the adorable cake from Muppets Take Manhattan, or be flung across the room in a raucous food fight. The cake may be too beautiful to ignore, much like the fantastic elephant cake in Rachel Getting Married. The thing is, a wedding cake is something to remember, be it in real life or in the movies. Check out these classic cinematic cake scenes that you certainly never forgot.

The Roku Channel was all about free content, until it wasn't. Now Roku is showing us what the future of streaming subscriptions might look like.
Roku's (NASDAQ:ROKU) ad-supported streaming service, The Roku Channel, is branching out to offers users more (for a price). Fulfilling a promise made in early January, Roku has rolled out the first premium subscription options for The Roku Channel. The move positions The Roku Channel to be an important new earner for Roku, and it suggests that streaming subscription hubs like the ones cultivated by rivals Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) aren't going anywhere.


We talk a lot about nutrition and exercise, but today I'd like to discuss the mindset towards nutrition in particular. How a specific mindset can actually hinder your progress and ultimately your weight loss results.
The word "diet" is banned during any of my sessions. Those that have trained with me understand how much it irks me.
When you begin to change your mindset towards food from being a "quick fix" to a general overhaul on a daily basis, you're dramatically increasing your success rate when it comes to achieving results. You're not on a "diet", you're simply eating healthier and differently than you used to in the past. You're living a different lifestyle now. You're seeing food as an energy source, not an enemy.
Let's break down those bullet points from above.
Any restriction in life will often lead to resistance. We all want what we can't have. It's human nature to desire something that's deemed "naughty". So in nutrition's case, can often lead to binge eating when the mindset is similar to "I can never have this, I'm not allowed". When the mindset changes to "how can I fit this into my food for today and still achieve results", a person's mood is enhanced and their relationship towards food is a lot more positive and thus healthier. No resentment.
When a person under-eats in terms of calories for the day (and on a consistent basis), you heavily run the risk of losing muscle mass. Intentionally losing muscle mass should never be a goal for anybody. If you're looking to lose weight, great, but with that should be a mindset of "maintaining muscle mass" as much as possible. Losing a little bit of muscle mass is inevitable, sure it's expected along the way, but those who go crazy in terms of low calorie diets are actually reducing their metabolic rate. It's lose-lose.
On the flip side, you must enjoy what you eat on a daily basis. It must be sustainable. If it's not a sustainable and an enjoyable lifestyle, you will be unlikely to stick to it long-term. There's many ways to make nutrition work for you. Don't worry about what the next person is doing. What they're eating or how they're training. Weight loss (and any goal when you think about it) is an independent habit. You must make the ultimate decision and learn about how your body responds. So when you're out grocery shopping, select foods that you truly enjoy eating. Don't like chicken? That's fine. Buy white fish instead. Vice versa. Don't be trapped into thinking you have to eat something, because most likely you can get those similar nutrients from other (more enjoyable) foods.
Once you find your staple products and staple foods to buy each week, you'll get on a roll and build momentum. One week will turn into the next, and before you know it, it will feel natural and second nature.
