Joko Widodo, the incumbent president of Indonesia, won the election by promising a lot of populist and leftist policies. A few examples of these promises include: 1) free healthcare through Kartu Indonesia Sehat, 2) allocating IDR 1.4 billion to every village, 3) subsidy of IDR 1 million for every poor family, 4) create 10 million new jobs through IDR 10 million payments to Koperasi and/or small medium enterprises, and 5) creation of new transportation infrastructure of 10 new airports and 10 new seaports. Lofty goals, aye?
"Effects of inequality: Researchers have found include higher rates of health and social problems, and lower rates of social goods, a lower level of economic utility in society from resources devoted on high-end consumption, and even a lower level of economic growth when human capital is neglected for high-end consumption."
Like what we see above, the goals are great. But we also have to remember, execution often matters more than the goals. And that's where I have concerns with the Jokowi administration.
"Of more than 250 million Indonesians, only 27 million register as taxpayers. Among that group, only 10 million actually submit taxes, and only 900,000 paid what they owed last year."
So it seems like there's a lot of room for tax revenues growth, right? We can target those who haven't paid taxes yet. Ummm, not really. If we see the recent tax edicts by the ministry of finance, we've probably added the burden of tax to those who are paying. Their tax edicts focus on a few things: 1) tax amnesty, 2) increasing tax rates for PPN (property), 3) increasing VAT.
A criticism on tax amnesty: those who don't pay (and are perfectly capable of doing so) have sent their money away to Singapore, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and other tax havens. Asking them to bring their money home from offshore is close to impossible - Indonesia doesn't share financial information with these countries. Money stays where money feels at home, where there is good tax infrastructure, low tax rates, stable currency, and clear government policies. If you can't give that, there's no way these people will comply. As for increasing property taxes, apartment sales have felt the effects from constant flip-flops in property taxation policies. The increasing property taxes certainly don't help either. And as for VAT, realistically, when consumer spending is low (like now), increasing VAT is just slowing down economic growth.
Secondly, Jokowi's administration is frustratingly flip-flopping policies all the time. Let's take a look at a few policies in which their stances have changed over a short period of time: canceling a presidential regulation on substantial rise in car-purchase allowances, changing a proposed visa-free policies for 30 countries as it will break immigration law, and re-opening AND re-closing censorship from 22 websites under pressure from Muslim groups. Like, seriously? The only person who flip-flops more than Jokowi's administration is a 15-year old teenager who decides that he'd rather be grunge than punk.
This is the worst thing I've heard from a president. Please do not tell me you do not know what you signed because you don't read. The last time someone told me they don't like reading, I almost had a mini heart attack in a restaurant (yep, these are also things you don't tell girls on a first date - note to guys who want to take me out on a date). To hear that a president doesn't read is just unacceptable and unprofessional.
Those are my biggest concerns with the current administration: financing and firm policymaking. Unless we correct for these things, we won't be able to progress as expected. So, I hope that I have voiced out my concerns - and that Jokowi can fix these things moving on forward.

'F**k Yeah' - Amanda Seyfried Takes Over From Liv Tyler As Face Of Givenchy's Very Irresistible
By Hayley Avron in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 02 May 2013

Blonde Beauty Amanda Seyfried will be the new face of Givenchy's Very Irresistible
Picture: Amanda Seyfried - Paris Fashion Week - Autumn/Winter 2013 - Givenchy - Outside Arrivals - Paris, La Halle Freyssinet, France - Sunday 3rd March 2013
"F**k yeah." This might not be the kind of language that you naturally associate with the Hollywood actress Amanda Seyfried, but this was her response when she was asked if she'd like to take over from Liv Tyler as the face of Givenchy's Very Irresistible fragrance. "It's an honest collaboration," she told WWD. "I'm proud to be a part of [the brands I'm involved with] because what they do is really cool, especially Givenchy - they're so artistic. And I feel like I have a foot in the fashion industry now."
The advertising campaign has already been shot, with Seyfried featuring in both print and TV campaigns. The TV ad was shot by Cédric Klapisch, whilst the print campaign was helmed by Glen Luchford, with Riccardo Tisci on styling duties. The global president at Givenchy, Thierry Maman, commented that the Les Miserablees actress had been chosen for her natural "style and elegance" and added that her high profile made her "a natural pick" for the Very Irresistible brand. "Amanda is a chic, sexy woman who is a perfect fit for Givenchy."
That's not to say that Amanda's intending to head down the path of launching a celebrity fragrance any time soon though. "They're hard work, and the more you do, they take away from your work as an actor. I'm doing these two campaigns because I care about them and the people involved. They're great things to be attached to."

There is Selective Mutism within the Dorset Echo and other news outlets.
Selective mutism is a disorder whereby some people are too socially anxious are too afraid to speak.
Let us together pick out an example of selective mutism within Dorset Echo who are steadfast in remaining mute over certain countryside issues.
Let us take the "controversial" and "polarising" and "passionate" debate of fox hunting. Does anyone else not notice that no one seems to want to mention it?
On the 23rd of February The BSV hunt sent their hounds round to the back their kennels (their favorite cub hunting place) and into their local church and raided their local church yard for pregnant vixens. But this is not news. How barbaric and backwards to think that this is not newsworthy.
The Action Against Fox hunting campaign group then dropped leaflets into every door at Charleton Horethorne informing every resident what had happened in their local church, the place where some of them go to pray every Sunday….where they have their weddings and christenings .
Some pro hunt friends of local terrier workers then went onto facebook local news sites to state that this incident did not happen and that this group were posting "fake news".
It is either "fake news" or "no news" where some people are concerned and this includes those who edit certain local newspapers.
But it did happen, the hunt were chasing a fox with an intent to kill it with more than twenty dogs, leaving its cubs to starve in the wild.
But surely if something of note happens…then this is news.
Then why not mention it then.
Also guilty of selective mutism is the Dorset Rural Police who wrote the book titled "selectivism in policing". The Dorset rural police often ask the public to tell them if they see anything suspicious out in the countryside. Anything suspicious could be hare coursing, tractor stealing or pheasant poaching.
Take a look at the photo supplied by Somerset Wildlife crime (see inset) and please ask yourself this question, does this look like coursing to you?
But according to Dorset police….it didn't happen and they don't take evidence from social media.
This hunt has been killing pregnant vixens yet again despite it being banned. This should be news.


 Tribe Sesbanieae is one of 30 tribes in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family, Fabaceae.
Polhill & Sousa (1981) recognised 21 genera and 145 species in tribe Robinieae (including Sesbanieae). This treatment, following modifications of Lavin (1988, 1993, 1995, unpublished data) and Lavin & Sousa (1995), recognises a separate tribe Sesbanieae, comprising one genus, Sesbania, with 60 species.
Recent molecular phylogenies of robinioid legumes suggest that Sesbania is either sister to Robinieae (e.g., Lavin et al., 2003), or to the Loteae (including Coronilleae) clade with both being strongly supported as sister to the Robinieae (Wojciechowski et al., 2004). This, in addition to the putative position of Sesbania as the sister clade to the rest of Robinieae in the morphological analysis of Lavin & Sousa (1995), warrants its segregation here as a distinct tribe.
Sesbania is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, and the only genus found in tribe Sesbanieae. Notable species include the rattlebox (Sesbania punicea), spiny sesbania (Sesbania bispinosa), and Sesbania sesban, which is used in cooking. Plants of this genus, some of which are aquatic, can be used in alley cropping to increase the soil's nitrogen content. The species of rhizobia responsible for nitrogen fixation in Sesbania rostrata is Azorhizobium caulinodans.
Some 60 species are currently accepted, with about 39 still unresolved. The largest number of species are found in Africa, and the remainder in Australia, Hawaii, and Asia.
Tribe Sesbanieae comprises the sole genus, Sesbania, with 60 species.
3- Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir.

Lincoln's Whiteman commits to Sandburg
Mike Trueblood The Register-Mail @mikedtrueblood
GALESBURG — Another member of the Whiteman family could soon take to the basketball court nearby.
Lincoln High School's Kameron Whiteman has officially announced his intentions to attend Carl Sandburg College starting this fall.
He is the son of Kirk Whiteman, Knoxville High School star from the 1980s, who later played at Bowling Green State. His uncle, Toby, also starred at Knoxville.
"I just want to be like them and be as good as they were," said Whiteman, a 6-1 guard, who played a key role in Lincoln's 32-2 season that was ended just before the sectional championship by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Playing at Lincoln got me ready for the next level," said Whiteman. "I learned all the right things and I think it will carry over well."
Whiteman, a shooting guard, averaged 10 points per game for Lincoln, which has been coached for the last 30 years by Neil Alexander. He has the third most coaching wins in Illinois high school history. The Railers ended the season on a 17-game winning streak, and Whiteman earned first-team all-state honors from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
"He was a kid we were interested in even before last season started," said Sandburg coach Ryan Twaddle.
"My former assistant and my current assistant had known him from the summer AAU leagues."
"I played for coach (Brock Streitmatter) in the Illinois Irish fall league," said Whiteman of the Sandburg assistant. "I started to fall in love with the offense he ran."
"He can shoot it," Twaddle said of Whiteman. "He'll put on some muscle. He's got some of the best footwork I've seen in a long time.
"And actually, he's a good rebounder for a 6-1 guard."
Whiteman's dad is also former coach who led Lincoln College to back-to-back national NJCAA Division titles in 2010 and 2011.
Whiteman's uncle, Toby, coached Rockridge to back-to-back IHSA Class 2A state tournaments in 2015-2016.
Whiteman's brother, Brody, will be a junior at Lincoln this year.
"That's not a family you want to play in a pickup game somewhere," Twaddle said.
Whiteman's grandparents still reside in Knoxville and Avon, another reason that led to his college choice.
"My grandparents lives so far away, they weren't able to watch me in high school," said Whiteman.
"But they'll be able to see me play here."
And what type of player will they see?
"I've been able to watch some of my dad's games on VHS tapes," said Whiteman. "He was a lot quicker than I am.
"He was a point guard and I'm more of a shooting guard. But our games are similar."


It's 2013 and that means that if your company isn't online you are completely missing the boat.
You may think that when we say that your company needs to be online we mean that you need to have a good website. In today's world however, just having a website won't cut it. Because there are so many insurance agencies out there, you need to do some things to distinguish yourself so that when people search on Google, they will find you.
The language of the internet and particular of online marketing can be kind of tricky. When you decide to pursue online marketing for your agency, we want you to be able to understand what is going on. The following are some of the most common online market strategies.
SEO/SEM- Search Engine Optimization/Search Engine Marketing. This is getting your agency's website to rank higher on Google. When someone searches for insurance agencies in your area, you want your website to be one of the first ones to show up. If it is, more people will visit your site, which means more people will call in, which means more policies will be written. You get the picture.
SMO- Social Media Optimization. Everybody is using social media today. If Google is the first place people go to when looking for your company, Facebook is the second. Businesses are very active on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Plus, and these social media sites are perfect for Insurance Agents. Social Media allows you to connect with people that you normally wouldn't be able to and it allows you to let people know what your brand is all about. The more you share on social media, the higher you will rank on Google as well.
CPM- Cost Per Thousand Impressions. CPM is used in online advertising and defines the cost an advertiser pays for 1,000 impressions of an ad, or for every 1,000 people that see that ad online.
CPC-Cost Per Click. Also Known as PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising. These are keyword based advertisements that require you to pay per click on your ad. Often online advertisements offer their ads on either a CPM or CPC payment platform.
ROI- Return on Investment. This is taking your additional costs for your investment and comparing it to your increase in revenue. When your additional revenue surpasses your additional costs, you have a positive ROI and your new investment was most likely worth while. With online marketing it is important to analyze your investment costs and compare it to your increased business. Online marketing is a long term strategy, especially for insurance agents, which you should also keep in mind when figuring out your ROI.
Hopefully you are a little more informed about common online marketing terms. Feel free to quiz your account manager with any further questions you may have!

News Baseball's September Madness: 8 postseason Games in One 'Crazy'...
Baseball's September Madness: 8 postseason Games in One 'Crazy' Day
Players and managers used words like "chaos" and "crazy" to describe a day that no baseball has ever seen. A television network will break new ground to cover it, and hardcore fans across the country can immerse themselves in it almost all day, if they wish.
It's the very first Wild Wednesday, an orgiastic, 13-hour baseball-a-thon, in which Major League Baseball will roll out a unique series of eight playoffs on a high-stakes virtual conveyor belt.
It starts at 12:00 Eastern Time in Atlanta, with the next five games scheduled to begin every hour until the Yankees play in Cleveland at 19:00 Eastern Time, and it lasts until the last pitch is thrown in Los Angeles between the Dodgers and Brewers, probably around 1 p.m. and half of them will be elimination matches.
"It's going to be crazy," said Chicago White Sox pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who will strike in today's third game against athletics in Oakland. "It's almost like a messy mess."
Tuesday was the warm-up when baseball turned the page from a shortened regular season to one extended mail season. There were four American League playoff games scheduled for Tuesday, starting with the Houston Astros against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis.
But on Wednesday, when the National League joins the fray, the curtain will rise on the main stage for what looks more like the first days of the NCAA basketball tournament than a traditional playoff baseball day.
"March Madness is one of my favorite times of the year," said Dusty Baker, the Astros boss, who leads his fifth different team for the record season. "This is like September Madness."
The crazy schedule is the result of both the recently expanded playoff format, with 16 teams qualifying for the first time instead of the 10 that had been in recent years. There is also a need to smash as many games as possible in a tight window – both to avoid excessive travel during the pandemic and to ensure that most of the mail season takes place in October.
Until this year, the busiest day in baseball's post-season could mean that four division games are played competitively, after a couple of wild-card games to start the tournament. Now the eight best of three series are played simultaneously from coast to coast, and a limited time to push them in.
"It's a sports fan's dream," said Matt Olson, Athletics' first baseman.
All first-round matches will be played at the stadiums of the higher seeds, instead of the usual switching between the two teams' parks, to avoid the risk of exposure to coronavirus through travel. MLB also realized that it was less important to give each team a potential home game without fans allowed in the stadiums.
The regular season ended on Sunday night, and the last 16 teams and their seedings were set. Chris Marinak, MLBs In addition to this, you need to know more about it.operations manager in charge of the planning, and his team had to work on hammering out a first-of-its-kind map.
"The puzzle of putting together the TV schedule was tough," Marinak said. "There were many strangers who went in on the last day, and you want to make sure that each team gets the chance to show itself in front of a national audience. I think what we came up with is a good schedule. "
ESPN and its affiliates will broadcast seven of the eight games on Wednesday, and TBS will broadcast the Toronto Blue Jays on the Tampa Bay Rays. If none of the American league teams sweeps their best of three series, there could be eight more games on Thursday.
"I think it's going to be a great baseball day on Wednesday," said Martin Maldonado, the Astros' veteran catcher. "For people who love baseball, you can not ask for more."
And just like the devoted fans of the sport, many players will also be tuned in.
"We will probably end our matches, go to the hotel and watch the other matches," Maldonado said. "That's who we are."
For baseball, there is a chance to mimic the excitement of the first two days of the NCAA Tournament, with 16 games tipping off consecutive days starting late in the morning and running past midnight at various venues.
Baker said that when he failed in 2015 and 2018, he went to the Final Fours for men in Dallas and Indianapolis, and he called them the biggest sporting event he has ever been to. (Baker has made it to the World Series, so he probably thought he was a fan.)
The comparison with the college-hoops showcase event was not lost on Marinak. While the swirling sports calendar means baseball will not have the day to itself – Game 1 of the NBA Finals begins at 9pm on Wednesday – it will serve as a fierce jump start to the month-long record season.
"It has this idea of an insane opening a couple of days with a lot of action," he said. "Anything can happen to start, and it creates a lot of interest and excitement."
A signature feature of the college basketball tournament is how the various networks and platforms that broadcast the TV event switch from place to place to capture the most exciting or important moments.
ESPN will not do so as part of its main coverage, but it will offer a program on the ESPN + streaming platform called Squeeze Play, which will whip around from game to game with comments – similar to the NFL network's Red Zone, except for the playoffs games.
Most of the play-by-play advertisers, plus Alex Rodriguez, the former player who is ESPN's lead analyst, will be at the network's main studios in Bristol, Conn. The rest of the analysts will broadcast their homes.
Kevin Cash, who manages the Rays against the Blue Jays in today's fifth game on Wednesday, had a different comparison.
"College football," he said. "It's a game that starts at 12.00 and every hour after that. It will be like college football on Saturday for three days in baseball. "

After living the rural life with them for over thirty-five years, I am still learning from our farm neighbors. Over the years, each has given us treasured gifts. The gifts keep coming.
Here are some of the people who taught us about the land. Some are still alive. Others are gone. Each has given us the greatest of all gifts: of themselves, fully.
Click to enlargeMandina and Peppe were our closest farm neighbors (and not just physically) when we moved here in 1975 and started to work the land.
They truly inaugurated us into rural ways. Mandina taught me how to raise chickens, from egg to chick to prolific laying hen. Out in the fields as we scythed, she showed me which grasses were best for the my rabbits and which grasses were deadly. She showed me how to gut chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, turkeys and rabbits – and how to cook them. She also showed me how to get the jeans clean when scrubbing them outdoors in the winter with bars of laundry soap (no washing machine in the beginning).
She wasn't our grandmother, but Peppe's mother Emilia was always "Nonna" to us. She taught me how to split the firewood for our woodstove. I was never as strong as she was, though: she'd grab their heavy axe in one hand, fling it back over her shoulder and then down with one fell swoop, splitting the log ready on the chopping block. Blow, after blow after blow – and soon a pile of split logs was in a heap at her feet.
She taught me to make pasta: using the stenderello (the Umbrian name for the long rolling pin used for making pasta), I had to roll the ball of pasta we'd made (just flour and eggs and lots of kneading) out on the marble-top table until I could see the marble top through the sfoglia, so transparent it had to be. After about thirty minutes of attempts, I had rolled the dough out into a nicely rounded, quite transparent (I thought) sfoglia. Not up to Chiarina standards. "Avanti" ("keep going"). I kept rolling. The sfoglia got bigger and spread out; then it tore slightly. I looked at Chiarina and asked her if we could patch. "Hrmpf" was the stern reply. She balled it all up and smacked it back on the table. "Di nuovo". So I started again.
It took me an hour to make my first sfoglia which would be dried (by spreading it out on a tablecloth laid on a bed), folded and cut into fettucine.
Chiarina's husband, Marino, and his father, Genuino, trekked over the fields from their farmhouse at 2 a.m one cold February in 1982 in answer to my call for help: my favorite ewe was writhing in agony down in the stall, unable to give birth to her lamb. (I was on my own this time: Pino had had a minor accident and was in the hospital). After a successful lamb delivery, grappa all around! The next morning at 6 a.m when I went down to the stall to feed all the animals, I found the two of them once again in our sheep stall, holding the newborn weak lamb up to her mother to suckle. They showed up at regular intervals for the next few days to help the weak lamb feed, telling me "you have your children and all your animals to care for and Pino is in the hospital: non ti preoccupare, we'll take care of the lamb".
Antonia, Chiarina's mother, used to come to our house at pig slaugher time with Adamo, her husband, who was the norcino (pig butcher) for everyone in our area.
Antonia taught me to rinse out the pig's intestines with vinegar to get them ready for use as the casing for the salami and sausages. Of all our neighbors, she was probably the one most out of touch with today's world (most of our farm neighbors had stopped school at third grade to help on the farm – but many were very bright inspite of limited schooling).
For Antonia, the world did not extend much farther than perhaps 6 kilometers from her farm (the distance "to town", i.e, Assisi). I remember my mother's first visit to us in 1976. We stopped in at Antonia and Adamo's farm. I was talking to my mother and noticed Antonia looking at me dumbfounded and in awe: she could NOT figure out how I could understand the language my mother was speaking, while understanding her, too!
She would have taught me to spin our sheep's wool to knit for the family's socks – as she always did. But our sheep's wool was simply used to stuff pillows and the quilt for our bed. I remember Ottavia, Chiarinia's mother-in-law, as we sat around the fire up at their farmhouse on winter nights. Ottavia would spin or knit and then fall asleep. Her head would drop and she'd start snoring. A nudge in the ribs and an "O, Ottav!" from her husband Genuino, sitting next to her, would startle her awake. She'd sit up abruptly, knit a few more rows and drowse again, chin on chest, snoring.
What has Peppa taught me? To paraphrase a greater writer: "How to count the ways..?" Just the other night at dinner with other farm friends, she taught me how to take off the malocchio ("evil eye") by noting the form taken by olive oil drops (three, only three) as they spread out on a shallow plate of water. Now the trick is to learn WHEN someone has put the malocchio on me!
I love the way you write. It makes me feel envious of the life you have in Italy, my favorite country. I wish that I knew all of those people that shaped your life in Umbria.
Anne, my husband, his sister, and I visited your home for lunch after you gave us a tour of Assisi back in 2000. The food was superb, your home was delightful, and we've always been so glad we did it. In reading your blog, I am convinced that you have the makings of a fine book here, if ever you can take the time to write it. And I think you will, especially since you have the urge to write. The world would welcome knowing about Umbrian country life and its people, as experienced by an American ex-pat. Your writing style is delightful, and I know I'd stand in line for a long time for an autographed copy of your book.
Warmest wishes for a successful winter tour and future best-seller.
I just loved this. I remember the first time meeting the Mandina, Peppe, Nonna and Evelio (sp) on my way to finding your place way back when. I do have some wonderful old pictures that I need to get to you.
Dear Annie- Good to hear from you and visit, even vicariously! As usual, most interesting stories and writing.. Today it has snowed in Bracciano and, I undestand, all around the Rome area. Most unusual- but I love it- makes Christmas more "Christmasy"! I'm having my usual Open House on January 1st- lentils, wine, eggnog and mincemeat tarts–Stop by if you're anywhere near- Love, Mrs. Harris. ps- Merry Christmas!
the years. I am of Italian and Irish descent and this particular post called up some deep remembrance of my old Italian-American family.
Thank you Anne for the time and attention you bring to your writing the the effort of your blog and Italian Note book contributions.
THanks, Guy, for your note and come visit me in UMBRIA..will take you to visit all our neighbors!
So touching, all these stories of country people, the gifts they give and the traditions they pass along to others. It all makes me nostalgic for the time I spent in southern Italy, in Puglia, and in Greece, many years ago when times were simpler and I was lucky to live among wonderful people like your neighbors, Anne. My five-year-old daughter was with me (this was in the 1950?s) and in Greece where I was teaching English on the island of Samos, we lived with a yia-yia' (nonna) who taught my daughter how to make bread.
I'm about to take my daughter and granddaughter to Rome and Florence for Easter, something they very much wanted to do, but after that, back to the country – thinking now UMBRIA! I go!
We can't say enough About our recent farm tour with Anne! We met Pepe, Chiara, Rosanna and Moreno. Our meal was beyond words but the best was learning about and talking to the Italian people. They welcomed us in their homes as family! Thank you Anne!!

Fire inside Aspen Popcorn Wagon will delay opening for newest venture
David Krause
dkrause@aspentimes.com
Aspen Fire Department responds to a fire Friday afternoon in the historic Popcorn Wagon on Hyman Avenue. The cause of the was an electric fryer inside the wagon, and no one was injured. The wagon was scheduled to reopen Friday night as a hot dog stand, but that opening will be delayed until this weekend, the proprietor said.
Kelsey Brunner/The Aspen Times
Just hours away from opening for a few weeks, a small fire broke out Friday afternoon inside the historic Popcorn Wagon in downtown Aspen, but it was quickly contained.
The cause of the fire was an electric fryer just inside the door to the wagon, said Ryan Chadwick, who is the owner of Mr. Grey Aspen next door and was going to open up the wagon Friday night for a test run.
"I was literally running to the bank to get money to open tonight and came back to this," Chadwick said Friday night as he and his crew were cleaning up the mess from the fire extinguisher used to douse the flames.
He said the fryer caught fire somehow and they were able to get it put out and throw it outside of the wagon. No one was injured and there is no major damage to the wagon. The Aspen Fire Department was on scene and helped contain the incident.
The fire started just after 4 p.m. and flames could be seen near the entrance of the wagon, which is parked across from the Wheeler Opera House where Hyman Avenue turns to the north and becomes Mill Street.
A fire broke out Friday afternoon at Aspen's historic popcorn wagon. Flames were visible at the start (see comment below) and plenty of smoke. Aspen Fire crews quickly got the incident under control.
Posted by The Aspen Times on Friday, December 27, 2019
Chadwick still plans to open the wagon this weekend and will serve hot dogs and brats and other simple food. He said the wagon was going to sit empty so he worked out a deal with to have a pop-up stand.
The wagon has a historical designation from the city and is currently owned by developer Mark Hunt. The most recent tenant was a group called Big Munchies, which served hamburgers, doughnuts and other snack items over the summer. The Popcorn Wagon has been shuttered since then.
The wagon in its current form has been an Aspen icon since the 1960s. It was originally built in 1913 but remodeled as a replica more than a decade ago. The fare served there has gone through numerous iterations. At one point the wagon sat on the corner where Paradise Bakery is currently, but was moved to the Hyman Avenue and Mill Street location a few decades ago.

We have strategically positioned WiFi (wireless) radios throughout the desired coverage area which "talk" to one another, forming a wireless network and is the same technology used at hotspot locations such as at Starbucks.
Besides their poor customer service, satellite providers like HughesNet and WildBlue never talk about the one thing that is so important for a consumer to understand...LATENCY.
Latency is the time it takes the transmission from their dish on your home to reach the orbiting satellite that is 23,00 miles above, come back down to their data center, then send the info you've requested back up to the satellite and finally return to your home dish. The typical latency measurement is never less than 900ms but most often is 1200-1400ms.
This delay makes each page-load sluggish; and VOIP phone systems, VPN and Skype connections, online schooling and live streaming, for all intent and purposes, impossible. The latency on MountainMesh is ONLY 50-90ms...which is REALLY QUICK...because our internet source is from Alpine's cable provider only 5 miles away.
And if you're a gamer you CANNOT game on WildBlue, ViaSat or Hughesnet per the info that appears on their web sites. Fortunately, gaming is quick and responsive on MountainMesh.
60% of my new business is replacing satellite service for unhappy homeowners, so don't be swayed by the slick ads or free installation offers from satellite providers. You always get what you pay for.
Data usage between midnight and 5AM is not monitored so you can use all the data you want during this time and it won't affect your monthly allowed limits.
MountainMesh has bandwidth usage limits just like every other provider. The difference is our usage period is 30 days not 24 hours. Satellite companies will either turn off or lower you speed to dialup levels should you exceed your usage limit within 24 hours. Mountainmesh's automated notification system emails a warning of impending overage to give our customers a chance to throttle back.
The MountainMesh charge per GB over your plans limit is only $1.25/GB on average while WildBlues is $10/GB. This can really add up when you consider, for example, one movie is between 3-5 GB in size . Our overage plan is priced so we can be compensated reasonably, not to gouge you.
MountainMesh is not affected by weather, so their is no sweeping the snow off of a dish to re-establish service; and rain, fog and heavy clouds will not affect service either.
MountainMesh does not use a dish, which often are blown out of alignment and require a service tech to fix at your expense. We use a very small 10" or 12" device which mounts under an eave whenever possible so re-alignment isn't an issue, plus it is not an eyesore like a huge dish.
MountainMesh tech support is right here in Descanso, so their are no long waits or difficult language barriers to overcome to resolve any issues.
MountainMesh receives it's internet from Alpine's cable provider; so it's as close as you can get to the quality and dependability of being on cable.
If you need to work from home you can VPN into your office in town as well as call friends via a VOIP service like Skype because MountainMesh doesn't have latency issues. You cannot do this with a satellite service.
MountainMesh also works well with cell extenders. If you currently have poor cell service at your location you can purchase a cell extender from your carrier which uses MountainMesh to provide cell calls. DO NOT cancel your landline as 911 does not work on our system.
Since MountainMesh is located, owned and operated in Descanso your patronage helps the local economy and not some gigantic corporation. Tech support is not in some foreign country and all installations are done by myself so I can meet you personally. This accountability is important for quick responses and customer satisfaction.
First, we'll need to install special equipment at your home at a cost of $150-$200, including labor, that connects to our radios, providing you internet access. You must provide your own in-home router to connect multiple computers or we can provide and program one for you at a cost of $99.95.
Some installations may be slightly higher due to length of wiring required etc. and can only be determined during our FREE in-home signal level check. Attic and crawl space work is not part of our standard installation and price will be quoted before work begins.

Chapter 4 Balancing Tradition and Modernity: The Case of Zhang Junmai
This Chapter presents the thought of Zhang Junmai in the last twenty years of his life. Compared to Yin and Xu, Zhang's model of Chinese democracy seems to have been more balanced. While Yin leaned towards Western liberal-democratic values, and Xu insisted on the Confucian foundation of Chinese democracy, Zhang was advocating "the unity of virtue and law" (de yu fa zhi heyi 德與法之合一), hoping to strike a balance between traditional Chinese and modern Western values in his political design.
In: Chinese Émigré Intellectuals and Their Quest for Liberal Values in the Cold War, 1949–1969
Kenneth Kai-chung Yung
Introduction China Rescue, Democratization, and the Émigré Schools of Thought in the Cold War Era
The introduction explains the background of this study and its relations to contemporary China. It also sets out the questions to be addressed in this book and summarizes the major findings of the book.
Chapter 5 Confucian Ideals for the Chinese Nation with a Liberal Tendency: The Case of Xu Fuguan
This chapter focuses on Xu Fuguan's Confucian model of a democratic China. His model was primarily based upon Confucian values. He particularly put an emphasis on dezhi 德治 (rule of virtue), as opposed to fazhi 法治 (rule of law), in his political design. To him, modern democratic values could be adopted on the basis of the Chinese Confucian tradition. What Xu was promoting was indeed an opposite of the ideals of Yin Haiguang.
General Conclusion
The general conclusion summarizes the entire book and assesses the significance of the three émigrés examined in the book.
Chapter 3 In Search of a Liberal-Scientific Modern China: The Case of Yin Haiguang
This chapter investigates Yin Haiguang's liberal-scientific model of a democratic China. He was keen to promote democracy and science—two major ideas of the May Fourth Movement—in the 1950s and saw Chinese tradition as an impediment to China's modernization. It was only in the 1960s, after the collapse of the democratic movement in Taiwan, that he began to seek spiritual contentment from Confucian values and reevaluate them.
Chapter 2 The Influence of Cold War Currents on Chinese Émigré Intellectuals
This chapter analyzes the impact of global Cold War currents on the Chinese émigrés, as the adherents of different schools of thought could hardly avoid encountering this global phenomenon in the 1950s. Their responses were, however, diverse. Many of the liberals yielded to the currents, but others, especially the hardcore moderate socialists, did not.
Chapter 1 Saving China from Communism and Fighting for Democracy: Prioritizing the Two Tasks
This chapter explores how the émigré intellectuals perceived the tasks of national salvation and democratization. Many of the intellectuals who fled the Chinese mainland on the eve of Communist takeover followed the Nationalist government to Taiwan, but others decided to go to the British colony of Hong Kong or overseas. This decision directly shaped their responses to the question of how to prioritize the two tasks, so that they each took different approaches. Taiwan-based intellectuals tended to regard the island as a starting point for any worthwhile anti-Communist activities. Those who lived in Hong Kong or overseas preferred straightforward counteroffensives launched by new military forces independent from Taiwan. However, their plans remained almost impossible.
Continuing Revelations: Patronage, Place, and Printing Enchantment in the Publication Histories of Modern Tibetan Buddhist Visionary Literature
Author: Amy Holmes-Tagchungdarpa
Treasure (Tibetan: gter ma) lineages are distinctive forms of visionary Buddhist practice found throughout the classical Tibetan literary world. Treasures are revealed by tertön (gter ston), Buddhist masters with karmic connections to the Tibetan past who have been preordained to recover treasures at the right time and place. There has been rich scholarship on the processes of treasure discovery and communities that have been inspired by treasure literature, but the publication and distribution histories of treasure texts have been comparatively understudied. Drawing on the work of historian Nile Green related to the mass production of Islamic texts produced in Mumbai that circulated through the modern Indian Ocean world, I will examine how the political and economic changes of the twentieth century impacted and transformed the promulgation of visionary literature in classical Tibetan language, and the circumstances that allowed for 'printing enchantment', and the power of the book, to remain intact.

Implications of the Many Versions of the Early Printings of Kaishien gaden, the Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual
Author: Thomas G. Ebrey
Kaishien gaden was a widely read and influential pair of Japanese books based on the famous Chinese painting manual, Jieziyuan huazhuan. They are among the earliest examples of Japanese color printing. Close examination of many almost identical copies of Series A (1748) and Series B (1753) offers insight into the publishing practices of four different sets of publishers. Even with exemplars printed by the same publisher, there was much variation in the use of seals and color palettes, leading to many different states of each book. Assuming that each print run would be identical in not only the pages printed from the blocks, but also in the use of seals and colors, it can be estimated that there were roughly fifty to eighty print runs of each of these books over their 65–70 year initial history.
Romancing Precolonial Korea: The Making of Chosŏn Yadam as Heritage Tales in Early Twentieth-Century Korean Publishing

Early twentieth-century Korean publishing was undergirded by a twofold urgency: the construction of a new inscriptional culture premised on the telos of text production using the Korean writing system and the imperatives of the production of knowledge about Korea's past against colonial censorship and the colonial episteme. This paper traces early twentieth-century reception of yadam texts from Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910). The paper first examines how the 'Syosyŏl' (쇼셜 小說) section of the Korean-language weekly Kyŏnghyang sinmun (Capital and Provinces Weekly, 1906.10.19–1910.12.30) integrated eighteen Chosŏn yadam texts in 1909 and next analyzes the rhetorical framing and orthographic materiality of several collections of tales from precolonial Korea in the 1910s and 1920s. These two reception moments formed a process of transcontextualization that authenticated tales of precolonial Korea as heritage tales, priming Korean co-nationals to romance Korea's precolonial past as an idyllic haven and a wellspring of national pride.

MRC's Throttlepack 9950 appears to be a well-designed, well-made unit that should provide many years of satisfactory use indoors or out.
You are buying twenty two (22) 2 lane roadway sections, zero (00) joiners and zero (00) nylon track locks exactly like those in the photo(s). Import charges previously quoted are subject to change if you increase you maximum bid amount. The knob provides variable voltage to the track in 0.1V increments, up to a maximum of 18V, which should be plenty for most large-scale applications. When this is activated, and you advance the throttle, voltage comes up incrementally, causing your train to start slowly and gradually come up to speed. I punched the button and a little light-bulb indicator on the readout panel showed that it was engaged. Track is mixed early and later version with and without factory pre-drilled mounting holes and marked U.S.
If you reside in an EU member state besides UK, import VAT on this purchase is not recoverable. Wires can be attached to this plug to provide power to the track and accessories—two wires (positive and negative) for track power and two for accessories. When the button is released, the train will gradually resume the speed at which the throttle is set.
On the underside is a tiny slide-switch that is used to set the maximum output power of the power pack—18V for 0-scale and large-scale trains or 15V for HO or N-scale trains. On the front of the box is a socket for an optional walk-around controller (not reviewed here). The engine slowly started to gain speed, accelerating constantly until the maximum voltage I had set was reached. When you lift your finger, power to the track is instantly restored at its previous setting.
At a full 18V (assuming no accessories), a maximum of around 7 amps is available to power your trains.
This amount of power should be sufficient for any single locomotive as well as lashups of up to three or four diesels, depending on load and track conditions.

The Mathematical Priestess, part II
Uruk Temple. Drawing Lamassu Design.
In Mesopotamia the first accounting systems arose out of the need to record and disperse temple commodities. Many of these early accounting scribes were women. As societies became more complex, arithmetical systems developed to accommodate trade, architecture, irrigation, and land division. Math and record-keeping were also necessary for the development of Mesopotamian astrology, which was the genesis for the Greek astrological system we use today. We're not talking about grade school arithmetic at this point either: Mesopotamians had a base 60 counting system (it eased division), utilized square and cube root tables, calculated compound interest, and (by the later period) could calculate the time of an eclipse to within a few minutes. Both Mesopotamians and Egyptians understood triangular relationships long before Pythagoras, although the Greeks did provide the theorems.

The Mathematical Priestess, part I
Hypatia, by Julia Margaret Cameron.
Note: This is the first of a four part series
I must admit that I approach this subject with trepidation. I'm concerned that some of my readers may be those for whom the keys to the numerical kingdoms have been denied, those who have bumped against that iron door and convinced themselves that beyond lies a sterile uninteresting yet unfathomable realm, filled with errors and yielding nothing of significance. I feel like I should sing a song and do a dance, maybe bring out a colorful Muppet cast for a chorus routine brought to you by the number nine, all to convince you that numbers have something relevant to say, something even you can understand.
Women have long been shut out of mathematical worlds. I can identify nine of these worlds, which should be intersecting but which are in some cases hermetically sealed. These nine worlds are those of arithmetical computation (including accounting and finance), applied mathematics (engineering, statistics, economics, physics), number theory, statistics, music, puzzles or riddles, philosophy, geometry, and symbolism. I do not say that there are only nine worlds; I like the number nine because it is the number for human gestation.
What makes nine the number for human gestation? That comes from a basic division of time based on the moon cycle, which at one time ruled the menstrual cycle. The first mathematicians were women, inventing numerical systems for calculating their menstrual cycles and the course of their pregnancies. Mathematics is, literally, in the blood.

Review: Breaking the Mother Goose Code
A study published earlier this year out of the State University of New York – Buffalo, finding that men are more narcissistic than women, was met with jokes and derision for being yet another academic examination of the obvious, but author Emily Grijalva responded eloquently that it is precisely those things that "everybody knows" that need to be examined. Not simply because they might not be true, although (obviously) there is a chance that they are false: establishing a fundamental fact (the what) allows us to move on to questions of why or how.
I thought of Grijalva's words when I saw the promotion for Breaking the Mother Goose Code, about Mother Goose as a surviving form of the Mother Goddess. I believe I may have heard this idea from Z Budapest in the mid-1980s, but I don't believe she made any claim to have researched this herself. I began showing my own students a picture of Aphrodite on her goose and calling her an early form of Mother Goose, and I don't think it occurred to me or to anyone to examine the assumption.
In Breaking the Mother Goose Code Jeri Studebaker chronicles her effort to pin down the source of the nursery character, and on the journey with Mother Goose finds a long history of suppression of the Mother Goddess. Without delving exhaustively into the patriarchal takeover of Europe and the Christian takeover of religion, Studebaker provides the background for understanding why Mother Goose is such a powerful figure and how Christianity changed her. Studebaker gives a history of the fairytale and a synopsis of the prevalent theories for how European fairytales developed. There is a more detailed examination of the German goddess Holda than most women will be familiar with, along with some discussion about the goddesses Baba Yaga, Mari, Brigid and Aphrodite. There is some examination of theater history related to the Harlequin that appears in one of the rhymes. In addition to a history of their publication, Studebaker goes through the nursery rhymes line by line and attempts to decipher them. This involves a great deal of conjecture, but apparently this author is intrepid.
Studebaker's intuition is on track in the avenues she explores, even when she admits that her evidence is tenuous. In some cases she seems to be unaware of information that would bolster her arguments further. I do disagree with her argument about classic fairytales created as an underground Pagan resistance movement. If anything, I think these fairytales were created as allegories against rival Christian institutions. I was going to expound on this, but it's a rather esoteric point.
There is some great supplemental material in the appendices: a glossary, a list of fairytale codewords, a synopsis of the stories in Tales of Mother Goose, two timelines, and the full text of a Holda fairytale. The author did not neglect to provide references, a bibliography, and an index, which in this case were essential.

One regrettable omission: there are no pictures. Studebaker admits that an examination of artwork was essential to her research, and she refers to this artwork frequently. Priestesses in the Goddess Movement have become accustomed to relying on pictures to enhance their understanding, and I think the Internet has fueled the demand for illustrations even more. She says that the decision to omit pictures was made to accommodate e-book requirements, but many e-books do have illustrations. In fact, e-books should be making it easier and cheaper to produce books with pictures, as well as expanding other creative borders. I am aware that the variety of e-book readers on the market makes it challenging to format manuscripts, but even in the early days of the printing press, books had illustrations. There are a lot of e-book readers out there that are marketed to consumers with features that do about everything except wash your clothes, but at the same time they are limiting the ability of authors to produce creative content. It's not right, and authors, publishers, and consumers should not be standing for it.
All in all I really liked this book (except for the pictures – did I mention that?). I hope the author will return to the subject of nursery rhymes, including Mother Goose. While the book is a respectable 300 pages there is still a lot of gold to mine here.

Straight Girls I'm Talking to You: LGBT Friendly Doesn't Mean Pro-Lesbian
It is important for Pagan and Goddess groups to become more aware of and responsive to the ways Lesbians are alienated and marginalized within the spiritual community. Lesbian erasure is rampant in literature, organizations, and events that purport to be "LGBT friendly." In fact, sometimes acknowledging or making an outreach to the "LGBT" ends up directly alienating lesbians, making enemies where there were none before.
Erasure is different from inclusion. When there is lack of inclusion of a minority group, they are simply not there. Lack of inclusion may be a problem or it may not be, since every group does not purport to serve everyone. Erasure means that a significant number of people are participating in a group at a high level, but everyone pretends they're not there. Erasure of women is a problem in virtually any group that is not women only. Erasure of lesbians can be a problem even in women only groups.
It's important for straight women to know that having a gay male friend you would do anything for does not mean lesbians will assume that you are on their side. Many straight women have gay male friends while maintaining distance from women they describe as "unfeminine," "angry," "too radical," or some other adjective which is really an oblique way of saying "lesbian." Maintaining that "of course I can't be homophobic against lesbians, I have these great gay male friends" is naïve at best and offensive at worst.
Source: Gender Identity Watch
By the same token, expressing support for "LGBT" organizations (or sometimes even using the initials LGBT) will not win you automatic friends in the Lesbian community. Gay organizations often do not understand or prioritize the concerns of lesbians, advocating for lesbians only when an issue occurs which also affects gay men (and sometimes not even then). This has been a problem since the beginning of the gay rights movement. Exacerbating the problem today is the tendency of well established advocacy organizations to begin working in tandem. These organizations are started by sincere individuals with a high level of commitment, but once established they tend to attract individuals seeking ego gratification from association with an organization of high repute. These individuals will see other executives in other high profile organizations as their core constituency, making policy decisions that reflect loyalty to this constituency. Lesbians quite often do not perceive LGBT organizations as working in their interest, and in the last 5 to 10 years this has gotten much worse, with many lesbians now saying that the LGBT lobbies directly against their interests.
What does this mean for spiritual groups that are not expressly LGBT? It means don't point to a policy statement or endorsement from an LGBT group and expect it to hold favor with lesbians – or worse, invalidate what a lesbian has to say by pointing to an LGBT advocacy group. If anything, invoking the LGBT makes you look tone deaf and out of touch. The initials LGBT, much used by advocacy groups and in the media, do not mean that the people these initials represent have a great deal in common. There are even some under each of these letters who say this alliance needs to break up. So writing a few lines about transgender women in a book about Goddess spirituality will not be seen as acknowledging the significant participation of lesbians in this area. Giving an award to a gay man will not be seen as bestowing recognition on lesbians.
It would behoove straight women to listen more to lesbians and seek lesbian opinions on "LGBT" issues. Don't assume that the left media on the internet is doing this. Listen to lesbians talk about their spirituality and their relationship with the Goddess and what they seek in spiritual community. Above all, acknowledge lesbians are in the Pagan/Goddess/feminist communities in significant numbers. And that we want them here.

The Goddess and the City
The mythology of Mesopotamia revolves around the accouterments of civilization to a surprising degree. Maybe it's because cities were founded so early in that region, sometime before 4,000 B.C.E. One myth even concerns itself primarily on how Inanna brought various technologies to her city of Uruk. Another myth describes how wild creatures were banished from a tree so it could be fashioned for Inanna's throne. The most famous Mesopotamian myth, The Epic of Gilgamesh, concerns itself with the tensions between urban and rural life.
I just finished a book called Mesopotamia: The Invention of the City by Gwendolyn Leick that underscored for me the central place of the city in Mesopotamian religious life. Before the invention of cities, the gods lived in heaven, and they created dry land in the sea below with the idea of building a dwelling place for themselves. That dwelling was the temple, and the surrounding city, like humans themselves, was created to serve the needs of the gods in their home. Leike points out "Thus the Mesopotamian Eden is not a garden but a city, formed from a piece of dry land surrounded by waters." The significance of this reason for creating earth is that "Contrary to the biblical Eden, from which man was banished for ever after the Fall, Eridu remained a real place, imbued with sacredness but always accessible."
There have not been a lot of books about Mesopotamia in English published in the last twenty years that are directed toward a lay audience, and still fewer written by women. My interest in Mesopotamia is in religion from a feminist standpoint, and I have no interest in urban planning and still less in the dizzying history of war and conquest in this region. I trusted that my subject would be treated at least tangentially, and I was pleasantly surprised. This was a reminder yet again that you cannot understand the religion of a culture without understanding many aspects that our secularized society has designated nonreligious.
This is a book for people who have already read a bit about Mesopotamia. The material is dense, although clearly written, and there is a lot of politics that will not interest most people. The biases of the milieu Leick comes from are apparent, especially in the first few chapters where the dearth of evidence necessitates some speculation. Unlike many academic writers she does address issues of class, ethnicity, and women's status, and she identifies places where religious texts are driven by political concerns. I recommend that novices start with Mesopotamian myth and poetry, such as that found in Gilgamesh: A New English Translation by Stephen Mitchell or Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth by Diane Wolkstein and Samuel Noah Kramer, which also has some introductory commentary. But if you're ready to move on to some historical context, this is a book I would check out.
There is still time to sign up for my online course Emerging Interpretations of Inanna's Descent.

All this funny spring-summer weather calls for light, bright flavours, and the lightest and the brightest of these is surely pickled ginger, or gari, that Japanese speciality that makes sushi and noodles sing. I couldn't find the specified young ginger roots in any of the food stores in Rathmines (a pity; the tender little shoots turn a very pretty shade of pink after pickling), so I just made it with ordinary, fresh-looking ginger and it worked out perfectly fine.
If you can't find young roots, buy fresh ginger that is smooth and wet and non-woody when scraped.
Scrape the fresh ginger with a blunt knife and then slice extremely thinly with either a mandoline (no, I still don't trust myself to use one) or a good sharp vegetable peeler. Toss it in a bowl with the salt and leave it to sit for an hour to draw out the moisture. Then squeeze out the ginger and rinse. Pat dry. If you have managed to track down young roots, pat them dry flat on kitchen paper. If you're using ordinary ginger, you can give it a good squeeze at this stage so that most of the moisture is removed. Pack the sliced ginger into a clean, warm jar. Bring the vinegar and sugar (30g if you don't like it too sweet) to a quick boil. When the sugar has dissolved, pour it over the ginger. Give the mixture a stir and cover with a vinegar-proof lid if possible (ie, non-metallic). Leave to cool. Keep it in the refrigerator and use within 6 months.
I'll keep on searching for young ginger roots in some of the more ethnic – read 'terrifying' – Asian supermarkets on Moore St and Parnell Square – and if I find them, I'll do the experiment and report back.
