The drive to foster Entrepreneurship
The port of Douala has been the region's most important port and the new installations at Kribi will he port of Douala has been the region's most important port and the new installations at Kribi will growing population, it needs
to set ambitious targets. Its medium- and long-term plans are dependent on an average growth rate of 6%.
Strong indicators
Economic indicators are good but they need to improve if Cameroon is to achieve its goals. It has achieved solid economic growth in difficult global economic conditions (mid to high 5% growth) but there is plenty of space to do better.
The business environment, despite being one of the most dynamic in the country, has been held back by excessive bureaucracy, hence its low rankings in the World Bank's Doing Business reports. The government has started to tackle the bottlenecks to make it an easier place to do business and invest. Conditions have always been favourable for foreign investors; they are given the red carpet treatment and preferential arrangements.
FDI has seen considerable year-on-year growth –from
$300m in 2013 to over $500m
in 2014. There has always been
a conscious effort to reach out
to international partners, and Cameroon has intelligently positioned itself as a friend to all, keeping all diplomatic ties open. It enjoys a longstanding relationship with France, but it has nurtured strong ties with other partners. It is an integral member of the Commonwealth, and the President has cultivated strong ties with partners in Asia as well as other growing emerging markets such as Turkey.
In March, the Italian President made a state visit to the country accompanied by a business delegation. Italian companies are already present in construction, infrastructure and transportation.
There are massive opportunities in the energy sector. Energy access is at the heart of government industrial policy, and after the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia, Cameroon has the third-biggest hydroelectric potential in Africa, enough to supply its own energy needs and that of the sub-region.
Cameroon's tech hub
The country today faces a challenge common to many
of its peers: creating jobs and ensuring that growth is evenly distributed amongst social classes and throughout the country. The real drivers of growth will have to come from within and new measures have been put in place to encourage entrepreneurship and the growth of SMEs.
These face the same hurdles as elsewhere, notably access to finance and excessive red tape. The government has tackled some of the problems by providing guarantees and tools to increase funding to smaller businesses and is investing significantly in increasing transport links through road and rail networks to connect the main arteries and ports.
The country has a comparative advantage in its educated workforce. We see this in the capital of the Southwest Region, Buea, which is not only an important agricultural centre but has been dubbed the tech hub of the country. A number of tech startups have emerged. This is in part thanks to the university in the city, where irrespective of what you study, courses in entrepreneurship are mandatory. In an interview with the BBC, the vice dean of the university, Doriane Tiako, put it succinctly when she said that their objective was for their graduates to be job creators rather than job seekers.
As the service industry starts to play an increasingly important role in the country, creating a dynamic and globally competitive service industry will be key to meeting its economic goal of being an emerging economy by 2035.
A MARITIME HUB:
THE DEEPWATER PORT IN KRIBI
One of Cameroon's most important projects in recent years has been
the development of the deepwater Kribi port. Last year, a number of international groups bid for the management of the port, which
is expected to become the most important deepwater port of the region.
The concession for the container terminal was granted last year to a consortium consisting of Bolloré Africa Logistics, the shipowners CMA CGM and the Chinese engineering and public works group China Harbour Engineering Company
(CHEC). The first ships are expected to dock in the next few weeks.
Earlier this year, Cameroon's finance minister, Louis-Paul Motazé, said the port of Kribi would be open to maritime traffic in June.
Much is expected of this port, not least because of the hype around it. As the only deepwater port in the region, it is expected to play the role of a real commercial hub, as well as taking up the slack and relieving Douala of the congestion that is often experienced there.
Kribi will be positioned as a
"transhipment hub". The consortium who were given the concession promised that the port will provide the region with new logistics routes. This is because of the integrated solution that the port will provide, thanks to direct connections between the port of Kribi and the railway and the road network.
The port of Kribi, with a depth of 15 metres and direct access to the sea, will enable Cameroon to accommodate large vessels carrying up to 8,000 containers.
Located in the heart of the Gulf of Guinea, the nerve centre of maritime traffic, Kribi has stirred up a lot of interest.
To satisfy this interest, the Cameroonian government has put in place a legal and regulatory framework governing activities in the port, and has also signed agreements to involve a large number of companies.
There are also plans to build an industrial complex around the port.

The current exhibition of photomontages and photographs by Alexander Rodchenko (1891-1956) at London's Hayward Gallery is one of the most comprehensive retrospectives of his work ever held. Rodchenko's life is a powerful reminder of the creative energy unleashed by the Russian Revolution of 1917 and how it was strangled by the Stalinist counter-revolution.
In 1924, Rodchenko took up photography and was soon capturing a person's character or a particular event in a new and unique way. The second room of the Hayward Gallery has many of these early pictures, which have become iconic images in the history of photography, including the intimate 1924 photograph Mother and the portraits of his friends and comrades in the "Left Front of the Arts" (LEF) such as Mayakovsky and Osip Brik, made all the more poignant by the fact they all, in one way or another, became victims of Stalin's terror.
For Rodchenko, "how to shoot" increasingly meant taking his photographs from unusual perspectives and angles—"from the top down," the "bottom up" and "their diagonals." He later explained how, in 1925 in Paris, "when I first saw the Eiffel Tower from afar. I didn't like it at all. But once I was passing nearby on a bus, and when I saw the lines of the metal diminishing upwards, from right and left through the window, this perspective gave me the impression of the mass and the construction, which 'from the navel' creates only a gentle spot, the one we're so sick of on all those postcards." Several photos taken in the neighbourhood of Rodchenko's small apartment in Moscow, including Fire Escape with a Man (1925) and Assembling for a demonstration (1928-1930), still demonstrate the thought-provoking manner of this way of taking photographs.
Rodchenko's preoccupation with unusual perspectives and angles was derived from conceptions he began to develop in his youth. Prior to the revolution, Rodchenko attended art school in Kazan, where he met his lifelong companion, Varvara Stepanova (1894-1958), and joined the Futurist movement led by Mayakovsky, David Burliuk and Vasily Kamensky. He then moved to Moscow and took up painting, working alongside leading artists such as the Constructivist Vladimir Tatlin.
In many ways, these conceptions mirrored those put forward by the supporters of "Proletarian Culture" (Proletcult), who were to form the core of the All-Russian Association of Proletarian Artists (VAPP) and who led the attacks on Rodchenko and LEF in 1928.
Both trends were criticised by Leon Trotsky who warned, "To reject art as a means of picturing and imaging knowledge because of one's opposition to the contemplative and impressionistic bourgeois art of the last few decades, is to strike from the hands of the class which is building a new society its most important weapon." He rejected the possibility of forming "proletarian art," explaining that by the time the working class had had time to create a new culture, the conditions for the transformation to a classless society would already have developed. The new culture would be non-class and express universal human values of solidarity and equality.
Rodchenko continued to help Mayakovsky with his retrospective show "Twenty Years of Work," but the lack of interest shown by the press and VAPP leaders "poured oil on the fire of Mayakovsky's feelings of loneliness." On April 14, 1930, the poet, who had joined the Bolshevik party in 1908 at the age of 16, committed suicide.
In the same year, VKhUTEMAS was closed, and in the following year, the October group Rodchenko founded with the photographer Boris Ignatovich was also shut down.
By early 1933, Stalin's policies had helped deliver the German working class into the hands of the Nazis and brought about the downfall of the Communist International as a revolutionary instrument. From 1934, the bureaucracy ruthlessly imposed its anti-artistic and anti-Marxist doctrine of "socialist realism," sealing the fate of creative cultural life.
Rodchenko was not spared. He was forbidden to photograph independently and only allowed to cover military parades, sporting events (Diving) and the circus (The Rhine Wheel). His unique way of seeing the world still shines through.
Rodchenko was commissioned to carry out several photo-reportage projects for magazines such as USSR Under Construction, but they can only be described as propaganda exercises for the regime. One of the most infamous was the book Belomor-Baltic Canal Named After Stalin, which documents the construction of the 140-mile-long waterway in 500 gruelling days by political prisoners and convicts. An imprint of Stalin's face adorns the front cover whilst inside are sanitised photographs such as Workers Orchestra where weary workers labour away in the depth of a lock whilst an orchestra plays above.
Rodchenko still manages to produce one of the most poignant pictures in the exhibition, Girl with a Leica 1934, which depicts his assistant, Evgenia Lemberg. Hidden by the half-light and meshwork enveloping her like a cage, the young woman whom Rodchenko had fallen in love with was to die shortly afterwards in a railway accident.
Sviblova's statement is symptomatic of the main problem with the exhibition—its superficial treatment of the historical context of Rodchenko's life and works. Nevertheless, she is to be congratulated for assembling such a comprehensive collection of pictures, and you should try and get along to see them.

'I don't know where I would have ended up without HVAF" How HVAF saved homeless veteran
HVAF provides food to Indy's homeless camps
How HVAF helped Marine veteran overcome addiction
In 1968, Troy Rivers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served for four years.
When he got out of the military, he said he had zero guidance. This led him to getting mixed up with the wrong crowd.
Several times throughout the years he sought out help… but found himself back to abusing substances. In 2007, Troy came to HVAF and participated in REST: a former program at HVAF that helped veterans overcome addiction.
"It changed my life," Troy said.
After 9 months, Troy graduated from REST. He said during that time, it gave him time to get off of the streets, to think, to consider principles he could incorporate into his life, and to develop a relationship with the Lord.
"That relationship was the foundation of my new beginning of a drug-free life," Troy said.
As he finished the program, a HVAF case manager helped him to receive housing. And during that time, he began volunteer work at the VA Hospital. This led him to gaining full-time employment there, and still works there today.
Sadly, during this same time, Troy's wife passed away. While this was a very hard time for him, looking back, he realized he did not have any desire to use drugs for the pain he experienced. He said that was when he knew the Lord had delivered him from his former addiction.
Troy thanks HVAF and many other people who have helped him along his journey to a drug-free life.
"I have a choice today and that choice is not to use but to be of service to other people. And in doing that, I'm blessed," Troy said. "Today, that's all I need, is to be blessed and be a blessing to other people."

Academy Award-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu (The Revenant, Birdman, Babel) has announced that he is partnering with Legendary Entertainment and Fondazione Prada to create a virtual reality film. Hit the jump for the details on the Alejandro G. Inarritu VR movie.
Among other things, Birdman stood out last year for the way it was shot. Nearly the entire film looks like it was captured in a single take. It wasn't — you can spot the seams if you're paying attention — but it's still a remarkable feat that required a stunning level of coordination.
For some film fans, the ASC award for achievement in cinematography are among the most important parts of awards season, as they honor the work that too often goes unheralded. This year, a three-way tie in the nominating process means that seven people are nominated instead of five. Given the amount of excellent work done in 2013, that slate of seven nominees means ASC is able to acknowledge more achievements — and yet Hoyte Van Hoytema still didn't get a nomination for Her.
Briefly: Here's the award nomination for for those whose interest in film runs just a bit deeper than others. Today the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) announced its nominees for Best Cinematography of 2011. The nominees are: Guillaume Schiffman (The Artist), Jeff Cronenweth (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Robert Richardson (Hugo), Hoyte van Hoytema (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), and Emmanuel Lubezki (The Tree of Life).
One film not on the list, War Horse, shot by Janusz Kaminski, seems like an obvious snub. But Kaminski resigned from the ASC several years ago, so he wouldn't have been nominated for any award by the group. Discuss among yourselves whether Jeff Cronenweth (who also shot The Social Network and Fight Club) would have nabbed the nomination had Kaminski been eligible.
The ASC will announce the winner of the award for best cinematography in 2011 on February 12, and that winner will very likely go on to win the Oscar for Best Cinematography as well.
Terrence Malick Prepping a Six-Hour Version of 'The Tree of Life'?
The answer to that question may, possibly, be 'yes.' (But my gut says 'no.') We hear about super-long cuts of movies relatively often; many a film has been the subject of rumor about an early edit running four, five, even six hours. These often refer to early, raw assembly edits that are never meant to be seen as a final film. (And, in the modern age of on the fly non-linear editing, such cuts are mostly relics of the past.) Most of the time, the extra-long cut of a movie is simply a fantasy cooked up in the imaginations of hopeful audiences.

Young carers face more hurdles than most and need support
Show/Hide Overlaid text
Written byAra Cresswell
Ara Cresswell was appointed as the CEO of Carers Australia in September 2011. Previously Ms Cresswell headed up the ACT Council of Social Service, Homelessness Australia, and was Acting CEO of Reconciliation Australia. Formerly a nurse and Social Trainer, Ms Cresswell is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Australia's young carers account for a substantial number of the 2.7 million unpaid carers in Australia — more than 270,000 are under the age of 25. Many of them are teenagers, or younger, grappling with circumstances that would challenge an accomplished adult.
Unpaid carers look after a family member or friend with a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, alcohol or other drug problem, or someone who is frail aged. Young carers may be providing complex, time-consuming care for a parent, partner, sibling, child, relative or friend.
The intensity and time-consuming nature of the caring role can often negatively impact on the experiences of young carers relative to their non-carer peers.
Many young carers emphasise that caring is a positive experience. However, research clearly indicates that, when inadequately supported, their own mental health and wellbeing can be seriously affected.
Research from the Department of Social Services has found that, due to the demand of their caring role, young primary carers (those who provide the most substantial amount of care):
Appear to have the highest incidence of negative impacts
48 percent compared to 38 percent of all primary carers
Were weary and lacked energy
Frequently felt angry and resentful
Have interrupted sleep
One or more impacts
Many young carers are caring for more than one person. They are often from single parent families and can find themselves taking on a caring role for a parent, as well as taking on a parenting role for other family members when the parent is unable to.
Their families face significant financial challenges and their caring role frequently isolates them socially from their peers.
In some cases, their lives have been impacted by domestic violence and other family conflicts. They often have a disability of their own and are subjected to great emotional and psychological pressures. Their families face significant financial challenges and their caring role frequently isolates them socially from their peers. All these factors not only impact on their education, but on every aspect of their lives and their future opportunities.
Carers Australia administers the Young Carer Bursary program, which offers 12-month scholarships of $3,000 to eligible young carers who are currently studying. Applications for the Bursary provide rich insights into why young carers experience negative outcomes. Their stories illustrate the huge impact of caring for someone, especially doing so at a young age. Here are just a few examples of the caring situation many young carers find themselves in:
A 12-year-old male who is the only carer for both his mother (who has bipolar, a chronic illness and vision impairment) and his sister (who has developmental delays). The young carer also has a learning and physical disability and is being treated for depression and anxiety. His caring role is 31-40 hours per week.
A 16-year-old male who is the main carer for his mum (who has a mental illness and autism), his brother (who has autism) and his dad (who has an alcohol and drug addiction). The young carer has a learning, psychiatric, sensory disability himself and cares in total 40+ hours per week.
A 17-year-old female of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background who cares 40+ hours per week for her mum who has bipolar, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. The young carer also has a psychiatric disability herself.
A 14-year-old who is the only carer for her mum (who has a physical disability, chronic illness, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and who self-harms) and for her little sister (who has attention deficit disorder). The young carer has also experienced anxiety and depression.
A 15-year-old male who is the main carer for his mum (40+ hours per week) who has borderline personality disorder, drug and alcohol problems, and self-harms. The young carer also has a physical disability.
A 14-year-old male of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background who is the only carer (40+ hours per week) for his mum who has a physical disability, bipolar, depression, a drug or alcohol problem, and who has attempted suicide. The young carer has also experienced depression and has a learning disability.
This year's National Carers Week campaign ran from 14 – 20 October and included the launch of the Young Carers Network – a website for young carers to share their stories and opinions, attend live webinars and learn new skills.
In our lifetimes each of us is likely to either be or need a carer, so taking care of carers is really about taking care of our families, our friends and ourselves.
The launch took place in a local Canberra school, an event that was mirrored in schools across the country, so that young carers could be acknowledged and celebrated among their peers. By educating non-carers on the caring role and the efforts and achievements of those who may be in their midst, we aim not just to raise awareness of young carers, but also to promote their responsibilities and efforts as something to be celebrated and not hidden.

Dear Audiobook Listener: Don't Feel Badly.
Of Those Unfamiliar, Odd-Sounding Words.
You're listening to an audiobook and the narrator smoothly and confidently rattles off a word that's quite lengthy, unfamiliar, and odd-sounding. You're flummoxed, discombobulated, and you marvel at the reader's elocution.
To be honest, the author's generous sprinkling of such large words seems pedantic to you at times, but secretly you're wondering if you're just under-educated.
Well, don't feel badly. Although overwhelmingly narrators are very well-read and possess a larger-than-normal vocabulary, many of them still look up the pronunciation of words that, at first glance, would seem simple in their pronunciation.
Good narrators recognize that geography, demographics, and even economic status can play a large role in how certain words are pronounced.
I narrated a book about food in which the word "grocery" was used liberally. I'm from the near center of the United States, and we've always said "grow shree", but I was fully aware that other parts of the county pronounce it "grow sir ee". I had to email the producer and ask what they preferred.
Another example: In most parts of the country, cowboys and cowgirls participate in an event involving skill at riding horses and bulls. This is called a "ROE-dee-OH", unless you're in Salinas, CA, where it's called a "roe DAY oh".
Or, if I'm narrating a book set in New York, and the street "Houston" appears, I know (only because I've been there) that it's pronounced "house-tun; but before I'd visited New York I would have automatically pronounced it "hyoos-tun".
These pitfalls are a major part of why many narrators hire professional book preppers.
A professional book prepper charges around $25 per hour to read through a book, note unusual words and proper nouns, look up the pronunciation, and create a spreadsheet for the narrator to use for reference.
Preppers may also take notes on the characters in the book, listing anything mentioned in the text that could help a narrator form a voice for that person. For example, did the character grow up in a Southern state? Does he/she have a lisp? Speak rapidly? Stutter?
In addition, the prepper may give notes summarizing the arc of the story, chapter by chapter. All of these help a narrator visualize the performance.
But what if a narrator cannot hire a prepper and must do the research him/herself?
When this happens to me, I pre-read the book and create a spreadsheet of words for which I must look up pronunciations.
Often, if I'm narrating for a large publisher, I receive instructions on which sites to use when researching, and in what order of preference. Otherwise, I search sites such as Forvo, Howjsay, YouTube, YouGlish, Hearnames, and pronounce.voanews. I make sure to find several different sites' pronunciations, because there are variations among the sites, especially YouTube, and go with the pronunciation that's used most often.
Another amazing resource to use when narrating a book with foreign language throughout, is AudioEloquence. This is a language, dialect, and accent research website maintained by my fellow narrators and all-around swell women, Judith West and Heather Henderson, specifically for audiobook narrators.
This site is not a pronunciation site per se, but rather a listing of websites that focus on specific languages. For example, say you're narrating a book on the Inuit tribes and you visit Audio Eloquence. You scroll down to "PRONUNCIATION SITES BY LANGUAGE" and look for Native American languages, then, logically, Inuit resources. You see this link: Inuktitut Tusaalanga: Glossary, follow it, and BINGO! You've found everything you need in order to speak their words as if you just came off the ice flow with a sled-full of whale blubber for your winter food supply.
Now the last super-resource for narrators is relatively new. It's pronounceology.com. Brainchild of accomplished narrator, Adam Verner, it is a subscription service that does all of the work for a narrator with a long list of words to research.
"Pronounceology allows you to search multiple online dictionaries at once, in bulk…You can import search terms in multiple ways, including cutting and pasting a word list, type directly into the search box, import a spreadsheet, or upload a highlighted PDF. Pronounceology then takes your search terms and runs them through online dictionaries to find you one authoritative result."
Let's say you've been trying mightily for hours to find a pronunciation of a proper noun online, to no avail. You've posted your problem word in the Facebook narrators groups, begging for help, but it's in the wee hours of the morning and no one is replying.
(We narrators are prone to working into the night because: it's quieter than midday, when the leaf-blowers, UPS trucks, kids, circling airplanes and solicitors are out in full force, it's cooler in the summer hours, when we sit, sweating in our hot-boxes narrating, and/or we've over-committed to too many narration projects and our deadlines are impossibly short).
Picking up the phone and calling around is usually fruitful. Bars, ethnic restaurants, libraries, embassies, airlines, and city and county non-emergency phone centers are very helpful places to phone to hear how a local pronounces things.
Even if the business or office is closed, chances are the voicemail greeting will be helpful, especially if one is calling to hear the pronunciation of someone's name.
And about pronouncing a person's name: YouTube has wonderful resources, and the most beneficial I've found have been recorded interviews, where the speaker is introduced.
I specifically stay away from TED talks, because almost as a rule they never include speaker introductions! And besides that, I always get sucked into watching a couple of them while I'm at it; they're fascinating, and before I know it I've lost an hour of productive recording time.
If a narrator is still unable to find the pronunciation needed by searching online, it's time to get creative.
"Hey, hive mind, I'm narrating a book set in medieval Scotland and one of my characters has a Scandinavian servant who grew up in Mesopotamia. Anyone know how to pronounce Olgaherodustonflug?"
And then half a dozen narrators will comment, usually with something facetious and irreverent, but more often than not, someone will have a solid answer.
OP: "Any Scots able to help me with the pronunciation of this: Thaeilean-beag'wighleisa'bhith a'gabhail luchd-tadhail?
Narrator #1 – Scots is pretty similar to Irish Gaelic and I can usually reason out what the pronunciations are from that. Having said that, I've never seen some of those words. Is this definitely correct? I'll ask around and see if I can find someone who can help.
Narrator #2 – Checking with my native Scots friend!
Narrator #2 – Sorry. Apparently, she's from the Lowlands and they don't do Gaelic, which is what she says that looks to be.
Narrator #4 – Let me see if my Scottish cousins have any advice! This is a closed group so I can't just tag them in.
Narrator #5 – Unless they live in the Western Isles or the far north, don't bother. Only a few places teach Gaelic now. The High School on Tiree teaches Gaelic. Might be worth sending them a message.
I never followed up to see if the OP got her answer, but I'll bet she did.
Now, with all these research methods and resources, let me be perfectly clear: narrators are humans, and we do make mistakes.
Sometimes the issue is not us; publishers, editors, or directors may want us to pronounce something differently than we have learned it, and even when we gently assert that we've got proof that it's pronounced "our" way, in the end it's not our decision.
We also have that blind spot; remember my example from earlier? Houston St. in New York is pronounced "House tun" and not "Hyoos tun".
So, dear audiobook listener, we love you, and hopefully this blog has shed some light on the behind-the-scenes production of an audiobook.
But please remember when you're writing your review and you're about to lambast us for pronouncing Kearney, NE as "kern ee" instead of "karn ee", that we may have never been to Kearney and did not know it was a tricky pronunciation, or maybe we were told by the director to pronounce it "kern ee" despite our protest and subsequently losing the arm wrestling match we suggested to settle the deal.
Or… maybe it's you. Have you ever found out, late in life, that you've been pronouncing something wrong the whole time? It happens. Please be kind. It's hard work, pronouncing all that stuff.
Ann Richardson has been narrating for major publishers as well as independently published authors since 2008. She has been awarded AudioFile Magazine's Earphones Awards, as well as having been a finalist in the Voice Arts Awards in 2016 and 2017. In her spare time Ann is a volunteer narrator for Learning Ally (formerly Recording For the Blind and Dyslexic), and from time to time speaks to author groups and at writers' conferences about the process of making an audiobook.
I have found Forvo quite helpful for foreign words, place names and phrases.
Wow! This article was extremely helpful. I'm a pretty experienced narrator, but I had no idea how much I didn't know. Thanks.
Very interesting and informative article. Accents also create pronunciation problems. Visiting a Pet Shop a woman came in with her son. He said to his Mother," Oh look at those monkeys!". She corrected him,"Those are Moongkees, not Mungkees". You say tomaytoes, I say tomartoes.
Great article! I have found that when I produce authors who read their own books, they will often trip over their own copy. Authors have editors who will slip in those "big" words and the author doesn't know it until, "there it is:" We shouldn't feel bad when we have to track down words, pronunciations and their meanings.
Great tips, thank you Ann. Narrating a series of Britain on Film DVDs (remember those things?) there would be town names, street names... and indeed local pronunciation could often differ from received. Sometimes they carried the weight of a turbulent history and you got it wrong at your peril!
Almost every gig I would be on the phone to the town's library, post office or pub - and always people were glad to be asked. I recall one occasion when my publisher queried my rendition of an Oxfordshire name and I was able to say I had obtained my guidance from the world-famous Bodleian Library. 'Hmphhh' he said. 'S'pose it must be right, then'.
Thank you SO much for sharing this, Ann! It's solid gold.
About time we got an article like this - and a good one, too. As learned as some of us think we are, it always pays to check. Still, ignorance may prevail and we'll pronounce "Boise" with a z instead of an s. There are also times when common usage will prevail over correct usage. I have given up the fight to pronounce "long lived" with a long I. Thanks for a useful article.

Q: Contrapositive proof using rule of divisibility Suppose $x,y,z$ are integers and $x \neq 0 $ if $x$ does not divide $yz$ then $x$ does not divide $y$ and $x$ does not divide $z$.
So far I have:
Suppose it is false that $x$ does not divide $y$ and $x$ does not divide $z$. Then by De Morgan's law, $x|y$ or $x|z$.
Suppose $x|y$ then $y = xk$, where $k$ is an integer.
I'm a bit unsure of where to go from here.

A: If $x\mid y$, then $y = kx$ for some integer $k$.
If $x \mid z$, then $z = jx$ for some integer $j$.
$$\implies yz = (kz)x \lor yz=(jy)x  \implies x\mid yz$$ by the definition of divisibility.

A: If $(x|y)\lor(x|z)$ then $(y=kx)\lor(z=k'x)$ so $(yz=(kz)x)\lor(yz=(k'y)x)$ so in the both cases $x|yz$. The contrapositive is the desired result.

Today I contacted the South Australian Lands Titles Office, Department of Planning, Transport, and Infrastructure, and also the SA Legal Services Commission, and queried them re the legality of access to privately owned land which has a trig point situated on it. I had heard rumours that if there was a trig point, then the land owner was required to allow access to the public to the trig point. So today I sought some official clarification on the South Australian perspective.
Firstly, what is a trig point ? Trig points, sometimes called Trig Stations are hilltop survey marks. They are so called because trigonometry is used to calculate their positions. Their full and correct name is Trigonometric Points of Stations. In Australia, trig points consist of a permanently marked point on the ground, and usually have a beacon or a cairn of rocks directly above them so that the trig point can be seen from a distance.
Trig points are known as trigonometrical stations in North America, triangulation pillars in the UK, trig beacons in South Afirca, and trig points or stations here in Australia.
Trig points are built on the most prominent geological formation in the surrounding countryside so that they are visible for many kilometres. By sighting two or more trig points, and then taking a compass bearing, surveyors can accurately determine their position on a map when plotting boundary lines of property, etc.
The early explorers of Australia plotted their position by observations of the sun and stars and related this to visible landmarks such as prominent hills, rivers or local settlements. However, as the colony of Australia expanded, so did the need for accurate maps.
In the early days, trig stations consisted of a brass plug which was fixed into concrete. It had a large cairn of rocks erected over the top of it, and a pillar with metal vanes standing upright over the mark. To access the brass plug, surveyors ere required to dismantle the cairn and then reassemble it afterwards.

Two men standing beside the trig, Mt Wudinna, SA, c. 1911.
This resulted in a concrete pillar version which has a solid concrete foundation and a pillar which is about 1.3 metres high. It has a vane on the top which can be removed by surveyors to access a threaded spigot on top to mount survey equipment such as theodolites, Electronic Distance Measuring devices, and GPS antennas.
I have noted in my SOTA travels, that many trig points are in dire need of some tender loving care. Apparently this is a national trend, from what I read on the internet. With all the modern technology available such as Global Navigational Satelite Systems (GNSS) and Continuosly Operating Refernce Station (CORS) networks, trig stations are become less relevant to surveyors. Governments are loath to spend money as the upkeep required on trig stations has proved to be unmanageable.
There is an excellent resource on the Queensland Govt website, entitled 'Surveying history'…..
And another one entitled, 'Life of the surveyor in the field'….
And should you wish to view where all the trig points are in South Australia…check out the map at the DPTI website, at the following link…..
Going back to my original question about access to privately owned land which has a trig point on it……….Under the Survey Act 1992, land surveyors have the right to enter onto private land to access trig points.
The Act states that a survey mark is…..
(b) a permanent survey mark.
Section 46 of the Survey Act 1992 states…..
(b) take such action as is necessary to enable the survey to be carried out effectively (including excavating or breaking the surface of land to the extent necessary to uncover or place a survey mark).
It is also an offence under the Act to hinder or obstruct a person in the exercise of a power conferred by the Act.
So, the rumours are INCORRECT !
You cannot enter land that has a trig point on it, unless you have the permission of the land owner.
In England, there is the freedom to roam, or everyman's right. This relates to the general public's right to access certain public of privately owned land for recreation and exercise. In both England and Wales, public access rights apply to certain categories of mainly uncultivated land—specifically "mountain, moor, heath, down and registered common land." Developed land, gardens and certain other areas are specifically excluded from the right of access. Agricultural land is accessible if it falls within one of the categories described above. Some other European countries have similar rights of access. Here in Australia, we have no such rights of access.
There are some exceptions to access across privately owned land here in South Australia. This includes the Heysen Trail, which is a long distance walking trail (1,200 km) stretching from the Flinders Ranges, via the Adelaide Hills, to the Fleurieu Peninsula. Part of the trail traverses private property. However this access would be documented and possibly included as right of way in the Title.
Section 17 of the Summary Offences Act 1953 of South Australia states…..
the trespasser is, if he or she fails to leave the premises forthwith or again trespasses on the premises within 24 hours of being asked to leave, guilty of an offence.
Today I was doing a bit of research on trig points in South Australia, and I found a really neat website, which I hope you also find interesting. It is called 'Place Names Online. South Australian State Gazetteer'.
It can be found at…..
The Gazetteer is a database of place names in South Australia. The general aim of the database is to record of any place name that is, or has been used, in South Australia. Associated with each name is up to 38 fields of information relating to feature type, classification, location, derivation and cross-reference to current, previous and alternative names.
I have a great book here as well called 'South Australia. What's in a Name?" written by Rodney Cockburn. It is the third edition and seventh printing of Rodney Cockburn's book which was first released in 1908. It contains the origins of the names of nearly 4,000 of South Australia's cities, towns, islands and other geographical features.

On Saturday morning, I eagerly awaited the first of a number of SOTA activations. I was sitting on 2,976 Chaser points, and was hoping to get across the 3,000 point line.
My first contact of the day was with Nick VK3ANL who was on an un-named summit, VK3/ VC-032, which is situated north of Ballan. Another 4 points to the tally.
I then worked Nick another two times during the day, whilst he was on Mount Warrenheip VK3/ VC-019 and then Mount Buninyong VK3/ VC-018. Nick activated 4 summits that day. Great effort Nick.
I then saw a spot for Hans WN6E W6/ CT-026 on 15m and decided to have a listen. And to my surprise, there he was, with a good signal (5/5). So I gave Hans a call and got through first time with a 5/1 signal report received.
I then worked Phil VK2FPJR who was on un-named summit VK2/ IL-006, in the Illawarra region of NSW. This took me to 2,992 points.
And then thanks to Rod VK2TWR, who was on VK2/ SM-036, a 10 pointer, I nudged over the 3,000 point mark. I went on to work a further 17 SOTA activators that day and ended up with 3,097 SOTA Chaser points.
What was really enjoyable this day, was to get VK2 SOTA activators in the log. It has been a real slog the past 6 months with the VK1 & VK2 Activators on 40m.
I have printed out & mailed off a certificate for Rod VK2TWR, just to say thanks.
My second activation for the day was a confirmed Conservation Park, the Port Gawler Conservation Park.
Marija and I headed off the LeFevre Peninsula and along the Port River Expressway, and then north on Port Wakefield Road. We then turned left onto Port Gawler Road, and headed west towards the coast of Spencer Gulf. As we were travelling towards the park, it brought back a lot of fond memories. When I was a child, I often went to Port Gawler with my grandfather and went 'raking' for Blue Swimmer crabs. Grandpa came to live with us when I was just a young boy, following the death of my Grandma. And Grandpa was a keen crabber and he & I would often drive to Port Gawler beach in his old Hillman Hunter to go crabbing.
Port Gawler Conservation Park consists of vast tidal flats and fringing mangrove forests that are crossed by a multitude of tidal channels. Shell-grit ridges occur along a well-defined belt within the mangrove forest. I remember well, that each time we visited the park all those years ago, we would always bring back a bucket of shell grit and cuttlefish. A that time my Dad was a breeder of finches and parrots. The birds loved the shell grit and cuttlefish, which were also a source of calcium.
The Gawler River, which has its source over 40 km to the east, flows through the park and forms a long, narrow estuary at Port Gawler. Fish can be caught in the River, including Bream & Mullett.
As we drove along Port Gawler Road, the sounds of off road vehicles and motorcycles became louder and louder. There are a few Off Road Parks in the area, and sadly the area is also used as a bit of a dumping ground for rubbish. I found the following article in the local newspaper which shows that this is an ongoing problem…..
Plans to build a settlement at Port Gawler at the mouth of the Gawler River estuary, commenced in 1869. Below is a map dated 23rd March, 1869 from the South Australian Lands Department. It is signed on behalf of the surveyor-general, Mr George W. Goyder and his Excellency Sir James Fergusson, Governor of South Australia. It shows that Port Gawler was subdivided into various allotments with the street names, named after the Spanish campaign of General Wellington (of Waterloo fame).
In 1869, the 'Lisbon' wharf and Waterloo Road were constructed with a grant of £6,000 made to the District Council of Port Gawler. In its heyday, Port Gawler was an extremely busy place. Cargoes of grain and various other produce were loaded onto ketches that were able to sail into the wharf across the sand bar at the mouth of the creek at high tide. It is reported that between December 1874 to November 1875, about 295 boats were loaded at Port Gawler.
The final cargo to leave the port was a shipment of strainer posts to the Peninsula in 1920. However the arrival of the railway made the use of the port obsolete. Following this, the blocks within the township were sold to prospective speculators, and the majority of those were reverted to the Crown due to unpaid taxes. The final 'freehold' blocks were held until 1960. Very little now remains of what was once a very important port.
Marija and I drove to the very bottom of Port Gawler Road, where there is a parking area and a small shelter. The shelter was a welcome sight, as the weather had really warmed up. At least there was a spot that we could park the car, and Marija could remain in some shade while I activated the park.
The carpark was really busy, so this was out of the question to erect the antenna. We set up the gear just to the south of the carpark, where I found some shade under some mangrove vegetation on the shore of the Gawler River. I was only about 10 feet from the water. I brought along the Yaesu FT-450 for this action, and ran about 30 watts, into the 40m/20m linked dipole. The squid pole holder for the 7m squid pole, was easy to push into the tidal sand.
My first contact in the park was with Ian VK1DI who was portable on SOTA peak, Pheasant Hill, VK1/ AC-021. Ian's signal was quite low down, only 5/2. However, because the noise floor at Port Gawler was so low, I was able to hear Ian perfectly. Not a bad start…a SOTA contact.
Following my QSO with Ian I went up to 7.100 and put out a CQ call. First taker was the ever reliable John VK5BJE from the Adelaide Hills. John's signal was not as loud as I expected. A good 5/8, but I expected louder. I received a 5/4 from John. My VSWR was up a little high for this activation, for whatever reason. But it wasn't that high that it should affect my signal that much.
Col VK5HCF then called in from Mount Gambier and gave me a 4/3 signal report. And this was followed by Brian VK5FMID, also from Mount Gambier, who also gave me a rather poor report of 4/4. This prompted me to look at the antenna quickly before the next QSO. The alligator clip links appears okay. Marija had accidentally stepped on the coax at Mutton Cove, and I started to wonder whether some damage had been done, and that was the reason why the VSWR was up a bit, and why signals were down a bit ?
But then Larry VK5LY from Renmark in the Riverland gave me a call, with a beautiful 5/9 signal. And I received 5/8 back from Larry. Larry advised that he couldn't even hear me when I was in Mutton Cove. Now I started to think that it was just propagation conditions. They had been so good 90 minutes earlier at Mutton Cove, and had obviously taken a real step backwards.
John VK2AWJ from Gol Gol in New South Wales, came up to say hello. John's signal was a solid 5/8 with no QSB. Obviously the propagation gods on 40m were playing with the band.
And to prove this, I had some interesting VK3 contacts. I spoke with Phil VK3BHR from Bendigo who was 5/5 and I received a 5/8. But just 15 minutes later I received a call from Ron who was stronger at 5/7 but I only received a 3/3 report back from Ron. Ron reported that there was a lot of QSB on my signal. A further 9 mintes later I received a call from Tony VK3KKP from Castlemaine. Tony was running just 15 watts. Tony's signal was a constant 5/7 and I received a 5/9 signal report from Tony.
I also spoke with Bill VK5MBD from Red Hill in the mid north of South Australia, with his normal beautiful 5/9 plus signal. I don't think I have ever spoken with Bill when his signal has been below 5/9 +.
John VK5DJ from Millicent in the south east also called. John's signal was an excellent 5/9 plus and I received a 5/9 from John. And yet 30 minutes earlier I was receiving 4/3 and 4/4 signal reports from the same geographical area.
Another good contact was with Frank VK5KV who was mobile between Port Augusta and Port Pirie, on his way to a trap shooting meeting.
My final QSO from Port Gawler was with Ian VK5CZ from Clare who had an excellent constant 5/9 signal. I received a 5/9 signal report from Ian.
Whilst I was sitting back enjoying the day, quite a few kayakers paddled passed me. One of those was a young lad who had his fishing gear on board. He paddled up to me and asked if I was an amateur. Apparently one of his mates has a licence, so he recognised that my squid pole wasn't for fishing. Backing up my earlier comments about the state of the area, he advised that there was now very little fish in the area due to pollution. He stated that car bodies and general dumping of rubbish in the area, had significantly degraded the area.
From what Marija and I saw of the area, it certainly does need a good clean up. I find it very sad how some people have a total disregard for their environment. There were quite a few 4WD enthusiasts in the area at the time. Some of those we witnessed speeding along the sandy flats with total disregard for their safety and that of others.
I found a post on the internet that probably sums up the park and the area…..
Ian VK1DI/p; John VK5BJE; Col VK5HCF; Brian VK5FMID; Roy VK5NRG; Larry VK5LY; John VK2AWJ; Phil VK3BHR; Tim VK5AV; David VK5KC; Nev VK5WG; Andrew VK5KET; Ron VK3AFW; Bill VK5MBD; John VK5DJ; Tony VK3KKP; Frank VK5KV/m; and Ian VK5CZ.
This was a very enjoyable activation under some unusual propagation conditions. It wasn't until I got home and started to read some of the posts on the SOTA Yahoo group, that I saw that the band was in rather port shape.
The day was finished off with a nice meal & a few Bundies and coke, at the Southern Hotel at Gawler.
Thanks to Pieter, PA3FWM, today I have overcome the issues with the WebSDR system not working. For anyone not familiar, the WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. It can be found at…..
But as of January this year, there have been some problems. Oracle released Java 7 update 51, and with that update, using WebSDR receivers has become increasingly more difficult. But thanks to Pieter, and a bit of jiggling around this morning, the system is working fine again now.
Please refer to the notes below…..
The WebSDR project has, since its beginning, used Java applets to play sound and show the waterfall display. These are so-called "unsigned" applets, which run in a restricted environment (called "sandbox"), where they cannot do any harm to your computer and thus are totally safe, in principle.
On Windows/Mac, you can find this list by going to the system control panel or System Preferences and choosing Java (you may want to use the control panel's search function); then choose the Security tab, and click on "Manage Site List". Then there's an "Add" button to add a URL to the list. Put the complete URL there, like http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ , so including the http part.
At my own WebSDR site at http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901, I'm testing a WebSDR version which no longer needs Java but uses recent HTML5 features instead. There are still some problems with it, which is why I have not yet distributed this update to the other sites, but in due time, I will.
However, it is not a total solution either: it doesn't work on Internet Explorer, and generally not on older versions of browsers.

Designing the 295 Sets of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
Production designer Bob Shaw turned to archival footage and historic locations as inspiration for the three-and-a-half-hour film, which hits Netflix on November 27
By Cathy Whitlock
Told through the eyes of World War II veteran turned mob hitman Frank Sheeran (Robert DeNiro), the upcoming Netflix film The Irishman is director Martin Scorsese's epic saga about the lives of some of the most notorious underworld figures of the 20th century, namely International Brotherhood of Teamsters head Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) and mob boss (known as the "quiet don") Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci). In the three-and-a-half-hour film, based on Charles Brandt's book I Heard You Paint Houses, Mafia crime and Washington politics mixed with the themes of loyalty and corruption are the order of the day.
Two-time Emmy-nominated production designer Bob Shaw, who worked with Scorsese on The Wolf of Wall Street and the pilots for HBO's Boardwalk Empire (for which he won an Emmy) and Vinyl, met with the famed director over two-and-a-half years ago to discuss the film's designs. "He said the film needed to look more or less like 'nothing,' meaning these are very ordinary people and they don't lead a rarified life, they lead a compromised one," says Shaw. "For all the moral compromise they make, they don't get much in exchange for it. It's the mindset of the times…you keep your head down and try not to be noticed."
Stylistically different from the previous films in the Scorsese gangster genre, The Irishman is less violent than Goodfellas (1990) and less ostentatious than the Vegas-fueled designs of Casino (1995). Set in different periods ranging from 1949 to 2000, various locations in New York and New Jersey doubled as Philadelphia, Miami, Washington, D.C., Ohio, and Michigan, and perhaps the numbers say it all: This movie has 309 scenes, and 295 different sets and locations were used over three-and-a-half months of shooting.

"Quantity and period considerations proved to be the biggest challenge," notes Shaw, a New Jersey native, who scouted everything from barbershops and bowling alleys to courthouses and cigar smoking clubs with location manager Kip Myers some three months in advance. "As time goes by, it's harder and harder to do, especially in the New York area. There are so many obstacles you have to dodge all the time, such as glass cubed buildings in the middle of every block, Citibikes and protective bollards in front of buildings. It's sort of a Rubik's Cube problem and like putting a puzzle together."
For the timeworn Villa di Roma, Shaw concentrated on authenticity, from cracked ceiling tiles to layers of dust on the air conditioning vents.
Many of the interiors, such as restaurants and hotel rooms, were built on a soundstage at the Marcy Avenue Armory in Brooklyn. The biggest and most important set was the Villa di Roma, a Philadelphia eatery that serves as Bufalino's "office" where many a deal is struck over dinner. "There is no 'mob romance' with the Villa di Roma," says the designer, who also created the New Jersey environs for the popular HBO series The Sopranos. "Marty [Scorsese] wanted to find a real restaurant that had the feeling and smell of tomato sauce in the floorboards," he notes. "Since filming in a restaurant was not possible, we were trying to do as many things to make it feel authentic, things that are not perfect but correct." This translated into haphazardly applying '40s- and '50s-style acoustical tiles to the ceiling (some cracked and broken), layers of dust and grease on the air vents, and water stains on the walls to create the atmosphere found in Old World–style restaurants. Creating an air of authenticity, Shaw took it one step further, explaining, "I concentrated on every detail, even cutting a hole in the back of a banquette so we could have a huge drainpipe going through it. I held my breath, but Marty was very pleased." For the furnishings, Emmy Award–winning set decorator Regina Graves (The Knick) sourced claret wine–colored banquettes and bar stools from Omega Prop House in Los Angeles, while scenic artists created Old World murals of Italy. "The banquettes were already broken in and had a look you can't reproduce," she details.

11 Minimalist Bedroom Design Tricks to Create a Calming Space

Frank Sinatra's Palm Springs–Area Home Is Hitting the Market—and Opening to the Public
Created from scratch on a set at the Harlem Alhambra ballroom, the Latin Casino was a South Jersey nightclub in the '70s.
For a scene featuring a celebration dinner honoring Sheeran, the Latin Casino, a New Jersey nightclub near Philadelphia, was re-created from scratch at the Harlem Alhambra ballroom in Manhattan. Scenic paintings, draperies, and intimate dining tables aided by red lampshades (suggested by the director of photography, Rodrigo Prieto) added to the set's ambiance.
Set decorator Regina Graves sourced furnishings online for the '60s-period lake home in Michigan for Jimmy Hoffa and his family.
The designers got lucky when they found a knotty pine–walled, period-perfect 1962 home in Putnam Valley, New York, to stand in for Hoffa's Michigan lake getaway. "It already had an early colonial look with the pine walls," says Graves, who along with her assistant set decorators Lisa Scotta, Ashley Wellbrock, and Pippa Culpepper, scouted vintage items from Chairish and 1stdibs, upholstered pieces from chairloom.com and Facebook's marketplace, and sourced things from tried-and-true prop houses.
Hotel rooms built from scratch included one representing Miami Beach's midcentury-style Fontainebleau and a '70s-era traditional suite in Washington, D.C., where Hoffa goes after getting out of prison. "We kept it very traditional, classic, and presidential," says the set decorator, "with a George Washington painting hanging over the bed." For the Miami Beach location, Shaw referenced the 1959 Doris Day and Rock Hudson comedy Pillow Talk, favoring a pair of pink-and-blue glass doorknobs and a circular sofa that Graves found for the set.
The team found one of the few still-standing Howard Johnson's hotel buildings in America.
Viewers of a certain age will no doubt experience a moment of nostalgia with the scenes of Howard Johnson's. Bufalino, Sheeran, and their wives take a '70s road trip through Pennsylvania to Ohio, stopping by the famed orange-and-aqua-colored restaurant and hotel (known familiarly as HoJo's), notable with its orange roof and iconic weathervane. "Marty insisted we find a Howard Johnson's, but they no longer exist" in their classic form, says Shaw. Through a stroke of luck, they found a recently closed but still intact one on Long Island's Jericho Turnpike, and brought back to life the hotel's swimming pool, which had served as a garbage dump filled with mattresses and discarded hotel furniture.
The design team refurbished a decrepit, garbage-filled swimming pool at a former Howard Johnson's on Long Island.
"We had so much fun on this job, and it was the first time Netflix worked with Marty. He and De Niro tried to get this film made for 10 years, and they really let us do their work," says Shaw. In the end, Shaw notes you have to be prepared for every contingency, especially when you work for the Academy Award–winning director. "He has the biggest shooting vocab of any director working today, shots he's going to dream up, shots that just aren't going to occur to anyone else, and you have to be prepared, and you have to adapt. And you have to know your stuff."
The Irishman has been playing in a limited number of theaters since November 1 and hits the small screen via Netflix on November 27.

A Republican House Alone Can Reverse the Authoritarian State
buy gabapentin online overnight William L. Kovacs
Freedom-loving people may believe the U.S. is at the edge of darkness with Biden's 76 Executive Orders, 46 Presidential Memoranda, and 176 Presidential Proclamations that take the form of conflicting vaccines mandates, bans on energy supplies, open borders, union organizing rules, the teaching of critical race theory, and frenzied proposals on climate change to name but a few. In the last several weeks, The Washington Post published at least four articles ( 1, 2, 3, 4), telling us "…the nation is closer to civil war than any of us would like to believe." The narrative running through the articles is that the January 6, 2021 riot was an "insurrection" by Trump's unarmed followers to destroy Democracy.
The Progressive press is pushing its "coming civil war narrative" so hard it seems as if it wants to incite civil war so its leftist government can use the military to violently crush the assembly of objectionable, unarmed, ordinary Americans. It would also give justification to the Department of Justice and FBI to implement their threats against parents who speak out at school board meetings. It's hard to believe that parents protecting their children are deemed to be "domestic terrorists" by any government, yet alone a U.S. government.
While the Democrats may hysterically claim the Republicans are trying to assassinate Democracy, they cannot hide their real angst over the fact that our Constitution allows us ordinary citizens, to elect the entire House of Representatives every other year. The Left may want a civil war, but patriotic Americans can win a revolution with their votes in November.
Democrats act out of fear of what voters might do on November 8, 2022. Yes, a Republican majority in the 2023 House of Representatives can restrain Biden's authoritarianism. That's the easy lifting. The House also has the constitutional power to do far more to reign in an authoritarian state, even if Republicans do not regain control of the Senate.
In simple terms, the real power the original Constitution gives citizens is the right to elect the House of Representatives every two years. That constitutional right is the power to change the direction of government before any administration can cement authoritarian rule. Voting for the House is the power of revolutionary change.
While the original Constitution had state legislatures electing Senators, and presidential electors, the people, have always directly elected the House of Representatives. Our Constitution has always empowered citizens with the full power to control the federal government by electing representatives wanting to limit government's power over its citizens.
One may ask how is such power possible when laws must be passed by the House and Senate and signed by the President? There is an unstated and rarely used power that allows a majority of just one House of Congress to control the nation's budget and the size of government. All a Republican House needs to do is refuse appropriate money to run the authoritarian state. Think of such power as a Congressional veto over crazy spendthrifts. Using such power allows one party, controlling just one House of Congress, to restructure the entire federal government by refusing to squander taxpayer money.
Suppose voters want control over their federal government. In that case, all they need do is elect a House of Representatives that spends substantially less money than it costs to run a bloated, debt-ridden government. That action alone will shrink the federal government.
http://ttagsystems.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-user-extra-fields/js/wpuef-configurator.js How would this process work?
Under our Constitution, "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." This power can authorize more spending or be used to reduce spending and the national debt.
For Congress to spend more of the taxpayer's money, it must appropriate the new money by enacting a law that requires the approval of both Houses of Congress and a Presidential signature. To spend less money or to spend no money; however, one House of Congress merely needs to do nothing. No provision in the Constitution gives the power to anyone to force Congress to spend money. Moreover, as an institution, Congress is the only branch of government that controls the nation's purse, and one House of Congress can shut the purse.
Under Article I, section 7, of the Constitution, all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. By electing a majority of the House who support smaller government, the House has the sole power to block the enactment of new revenue streams to support a bigger government.
It is clear that no matter how big or powerful the federal government has become, a party that controls the House of Representatives can reign it in if it has to courage to do so. Republicans talk about smaller government, but the government has continuously expanded. They talk about reducing the national debt, but Republicans have increased the national debt more than the Democrats for the last several decades.
If Republicans take control of the House in 2023, it will be their "put up or shut up" moment. Only time will tell if the government remains wildly out of control or the Republican House of Representatives "puts up" to Save Democracy?

A small business is an independently run business with a relatively few number of employees. The typical small businesses include shops, stores, restaurants and other businesses being run on a small scale. The number of employees varies depending on the nature of the business and also the location. Other criteria for being classified as a small business group is a comparatively less sales and profit generation. The term micro business is used to denote very small business operated from the homes of people. Less cost is entailed in establishing a small business and it possesses adaptability which is the quick response to changes in the market place. The small business owners have a sense of independency and they exhibit a customer focused approach and dedication. With efficient planning and management skills, experts can profitably run small scale businesses.

EuroBasket stars with mixed feelings about NBA lockout
EuroBasket 2011, Euroleague - Eurocup, NBA Comments are Disabled
Europe's top NBA stars arrived at the 2011 EuroBasket in Lithuania with the uncertainty of an on-going labor dispute, which has been met with mixed reactions.
The biggest feelings expressed by NBA players at Europe's elite national team event were frustration and incomprehension while others see the lockout as a chance to do much more than just continue playing the game they love and earning a paycheck.
Many of the NBA stars did not even want to talk about the labor issue, saying their focus was solely on helping their team succeed at the European Championship. And others felt sorry for the fans of the league.
"For me, it's frustrating a little bit. It's disappointing more than frustrating," said France's Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah.
"I feel that the NBA is in a place where it's just so much fun. I love the game and it's hard to explain to people that we're not going to be able to play next season because of money things and business."
Noah's Bulls teammate Omer Asik also expressed his frustration.
"It's frustrating because all we want is to play. We don't want to sit at home. I hope it's over soon," said the Turkish big man.
Frenchman Nicolas Batum of the Portland Trail Blazers feels the same as Noah and Asik.
"Yeah it's frustrating. We want to play in the best league in the world. I'm with the Trail Blazers first and I want to play with them. Things are like this and we have to wait and see," said Batum.
The European silver medalist at least has one up on Noah and Asik in that he will be playing during the lockout. Batum actually has signed with French top flight club Nancy – albeit with a clause that says he must leave for the U.S. within 72 hours of the end of the lockout.
Batum is really, really looking forward to playing with Nancy as it will give him a chance to play in front of his family and friends back home.
"I wanted to stay with my family a bit. It's been three years now I have been in the NBA now. It's very far away from my family. I think it's good for me to stay with all my people and my home country and see my family," said Batum.
"I'm very excited to play in France."
Lithuania's Darius Songalia meanwhile sees his move from the Philadelphia 76ers to Galatasaray as a chance to actually be on the court more.
"I left because I wasn't getting enough playing time," said Songalia.
Serbian Nenad Krstic is another European to have landed a job with a top club on the Old Continent, playing with CSKA Moscow. And the former Oklahoma City big man said the whole NBA lockout situation is tough.
"I'm sure a lot of players just want to play basketball. But there is also the business side. It's just tough. That's why I decided to go to Russia. CSKA is obviously a great team, but my goal was always to play in the NBA. But who knows when it is going to finish," said Krstic.
Many of Europe's best players feel sorry for the NBA fans, as they are the ones who will be left out in the cold without the sport to watch.
"I feel pity for the fans because this controversy is between NBA owners and players. It affects their interests. I hope the antagonists will find the compromise as soon as possible," said Ukrainian Cyril Fesenko of the Utah Jazz.
"This is something the fans shouldn't have to deal with," added Noah.
Other players refused to even address the matter in Lithuania.
"I'm just focused on the national team right now. After the national team I will talk to my agent and decide. I don't know yet," said Turkey's star Enes Kanter, who would love to start his NBA career with the Utah Jazz.
"I think we just have to wait and see. For us, it's like nothing changed. We are just focusing on EuroBasket," said Spain's Toronto Raptors star playmaker Jose Calderon.
The repeat European champion said one frustrating thing about continually being asked about the matter in Lithuania is that there is no news from the States.
"Hopefully we can get an agreement as soon as possible. I think both sides want an agreement, so both sides are getting closer. There's really not that much for me to talk about. I really know the same thing that you know," said Calderon.
His Spain teammate Marc Gasol expressed the importance of the NBA players not breaking apart.
"The most important thing is to stay together and as players try to get the best thing we can," said the Memphis Grizzlies big man.
"It's not easy. Nobody likes it. Everybody wants to play. But it's better to get no deal than a bad deal for us. We all know that and we'll see what happens."
That is really the only thing certain – that the players will just have to wait and see what happens.

Why should you, as a voter, care about public education?
Teaching children logic and reason is disappearing from the public education classroom. Facts cease to be facts. Socratic learning is now mocked and ridiculed. What you "feel" is the new education model. Look around you. How is that working out for us?
While Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) is busy eviscerating traditional education, we can applaud its dedicated focus on "social justice," "cultural proficiency," and "social, emotional learning." Right? Isn't that why you send your child to school?
Superintendent Teresa Alban is out there spewing manipulated facts about how our assessment scores are better. In fact, there is no way to really know how we are progressing – or regressing.
You cannot compare the assessment scores of last year with the assessment scores of this year. The test is recreated every year to fine tune the errors and remove things students just can't comprehend. Not because it was difficult, but because it was poorly written.
The assessments were never piloted before they were rolled out. They are literally building the test as the student takes it. Our children are unpaid test writers. The failure of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests is why the Maryland State Board of Education rolled back its graduation requirements in October.
While they dither on mandatory assessments, our children are losing what's left of valuable learning time.
I'm going to be brutally honest here! If you fail to elect the right Board of Education members, what's happening in our schools isn't going to get any better. You need board members who aren't "test centered," and who care about "academics" and American culture, not social justice and global governance.
Where do you begin? Simple – STOP VOTING THE APPLE BALLOT – which is a printed palm card produced by the Frederick County Teachers Association (FCTA) to support Board of Education candidates it thinks the way it does.
The Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) and the FCTA own our Board of Education. In my next column, I'll share with you what MSEA was busy discussing at its October 2017 convention in Ocean City. One hint, supporting Black Lives Matter and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in the classroom was part of its new business.
Apple Ballot-endorsed candidates are traditionally there to do the bidding of unions and professional associations with little regard to teacher and parent concerns. The only time you hear them sounding pro-academics and parent is right around now – election season.
They also prop up our superintendent, who is a colossal failure. Moral in our schools is at an all-time low. Academics and extra curricula are disappearing for "work-force training." She has successfully stripped the joy from learning. FCPS's new mission seems to be reshaping American culture.
Her blogs have spent too much time on "cultural proficiency," "gender gaps," "systemic racism," "diversity," etc.
Classical, liberal arts education is a pedagogy of reasoning; social justice/cultural education and is a pedagogy of manipulation. One teaches you "how" to think, the other teaches you "what" to think.
FCPS. with its progressive-majority board, has been steadily moving away from teaching "how" to think and is now rooted deeply in teaching children "what" to think.
How do we end this? Vote for Board of Education candidates who aren't progressives and/or part of the academic swamp. You can start with rejecting anyone endorsed by the Apple Ballot of the Frederick County Teachers Association.

Antiques Road Trip expert's jaw drops as tiny vase sells for DOUBLE what he paid for it
Katabella Roberts
ANTIQUES ROAD TRIP expert Steven Moore was left stunned after selling a tiny vase for double the price he paid for it.
Steven was joined by fellow expert Angus Ashworth as they visited north Dundee in Scotland for the final leg of their trip.
Antiques Road trip expert Steven was left stunned after a profitable purchase
Steven splashed out £25 on a previous vase - and made double his money
While there, the expert managed to nab himself a tiny snowdrop vase, which he purchased in an antique shop for £25.
Explaining just how "precious" the vase looked, Steven said: "Sometimes the clue to what something is for is hidden in plain sight.
"Now this isn't a glass, it's far too thin. Goodness me, you can hardly get anything in that.
"It's decorated on the inside, with like snow coming down, and that's clue number one. The other side has this lovely little hand-painted scene of a boy throwing a snowball - that's clue number two.
"This is a snowdrop vase. So you can imagine in a cold Victorian house, when you think of the worst bit of a Charles Dickens novel, that it was cold.
"So snowdrops to the Victorians were much more precious than they are to us. It was the first heralding of spring, and the first little thing of hope."
The item later went up for auction, and Steven was thrilled when bidding started at £35.
The precious vase eventually sold for £50 - double the price the expert had paid for it.
Reflecting on the nifty purchase, Angus said: "Good result, double bubble. Well, I think they have good taste [in Scotland]."
Meanwhile, fellow expert Angus didn't have quite as much look as Steven after taking a gamble on a Victorian gold stockbroker pencil that cost him a total of £350.
Unfortunately, it didn't pay off after selling for £250, leaving the expert £100 out of pocket.
Sadly Angus didnt have quite so much luck with his pricey purchases which lost him £100
Antiques Road Trip is available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
