Revenge of the Second City Jul 30 2008
It Doesn't Add Up To Much

On Thursday, July 24th, 2008, the federal minimum wage was raised to $6.55 an hour.
And there was much rejoicing...
Only not really. Beyond the fact that a $6.55 an hour minimum wage is insanely low for anyone to even attempt to live on without income supports and government assistance (see Jonthan Tasini's good analysis of this here and the EPI's analysis here) is the little noticed yawn from employers about the wage hike. The last time an increase in the minimum wage was floated, the Dick Armeys and Phil Gramms of the world were out with their supply and demand curves warning of apocalyptic collapses in employment as low wage workers in the US became too expensive. I suspect that the muted reaction from the employer side has a lot to do with the reality of low wage labor in the United States. See, it's an open secret that employers in the low wage labor market routinely engage in wage theft or, to put it more bureaucratically, in violations of wage and hour standards set out by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or other relevant laws. Wage theft occurs when employers simply do not pay the wages that their employees legally or contractually deserve. Wage theft includes overtime violations, basic hour skimming violations, misclassifying workers as independent contractors and a host of other larcenous practices. Using the milquetoast language of "wage and hour violations" obscures the reality of the situation: that the law of the land does not apply to millions of American workers, low wage or otherwise.
The Department of Labor, the agency that's supposed to enforce the FLSA and be an advocate for workers, was deservedly put on the hot seat by worker advocates, Congress and the GAO last week (and even by Lou Dobbs!) Shockingly, enforcement of wage and hour laws has not been a priority in the Bush DOL. Imagine a police department that, faced with rising crime, changed its policies to reduce the number of target investigations, reduced community policing efforts, only responded to complaints instead of acting proactively, and didn't log phone calls into its offices. This is about as an accurate a picture of the DOL's wage and hour division as one can draw from the raw numbers. At the very moment in our economic history when business models force managers to skim costs by any means necessary (see Steve Greenhouse's The Big Squeeze for a good picture of the situation), the institution charged with protecting workers' right to fair compensation has largely ceded the field to the unscrupulous, unethical and stingy.
Wage theft is a national crisis. African-American and immigrant workers in poultry plants in Mississippi report stolen wages and mafia-like harassment if they complain. Caribou Coffee baristas and Wal-Mart workers have to rely on private lawsuits and not on their duly elected government to protect them and recover lost wages and tips. Computer programmers, factory workers, white workers, black workers, young, old, citizens and non-citizens have no guarantee that their rights at work will be protected and they'll receive the (steadily decreasing) wages they've been promised in return for (continually harder and less safe) work they do. In Chicago, one worker center affiliated with Interfaith Worker Justice recovered almost $2.75 million dollars in lost wages between 2003 and 2007. That's with a staff of four that relies on donations and foundation grants. In New Orleans, community leaders describe a wild west of wage theft, in which companies receiving federal and state contracts will often pay little to no wages for arduous clean-up and rebuilding work. If this is the vision of "starting from scratch" that so many had after Katrina leveled the city, then we are building a deeply immoral society.
In Chicago, there's a lot of talk over the causes of the recent rise in crime, which mirrors national trends. Time and time again, analysts point to the lack of economic opportunity for so many in the low wage, entry level labor market, among other factors. There is no way that cities and communities can build strong sustainable neighborhoods when employers continually hack away at the economic foundations of those neighborhoods, by siphoning away the wages of those who work, with little or no consequence. We reformed welfare to promote work, we threw millions of dollars in property and income taxes to lure companies to provide jobs for local residents, and we spend millions cracking down on the undocumented who supposedly drive down wages, while we ignore the reality of wage theft and its effect on communities and workers. Lowering worker salaries through fraud and theft lowers tax receipts, hurts small businesses, and gives little incentive for those who are told to play the game, follow the rules and move up in society to do so. At least when a drug dealer runs away with your money or a pimp steals from sex workers, they're not hiding beyond platitudes of economic competitiveness or the free market.
An increase in the minimum wage or job training dollars, or any other program to help workers, will not help workers as long as wage theft remains unchecked. Without the rule of law becoming reestablished in the American workplace, the prospects for economic recovery and better standards of living for millions of workers remain dim.
Jason / July 30, 2008 9:58 AM
Typical. Tune the heart strings instead of having an original thought. Its "employers" fault that crime in Chicago is on the rise... right.
Maybe the collective yawn is because most states have taken the matter into their own hands (as they should) by enacting their own minimums wages. Obviously, the cost of living in NY is different than WY, so the minimum should reflect that.
If employers are violating the law, they should be taken to task. But if you believe that the government should add hundreds of jobs - your own reference advocates thousands - in the attempt to recover lost wages, you are running a fool's errand. These lost wages are only significant when you aggragate them, so the real cost of recovery would be far greater than the amount recovered. It doesn't make sense to take $10 from taxpayers to recover $5, and then distribute $5 to 100 people.
If this is such a national crisis, why don't you organize a group of lawyers to file class action lawsuits against employers that are in violation. That would streamline the process and take the burden of cost into private hands instead of another increase in government spending.
Jacob / July 30, 2008 12:02 PM
Actually, Jason, lawyers do engage in dozens of class action lawsuits to recover wages. By your logic, though, we should have avoid the criminal courts and just have "wrongful death suits" for murder. (like OJ?)
Brian / July 30, 2008 12:46 PM
I would suspect that employer timecard fraud is dwarfed by employee timecard fraud, but since there aren't lucrative fees to be made from extortion--I mean lawsuits, it isn't on the radar.
I fired two people for falsifying time records [hmm, time card says 7:30 am, alarm log says you didn't come in till 9:08 am and server says you logged in at 9:12 am]. Plus thanks to a state labor board that offers lots of protection for workers and none for employers, had to pay another employee for hours she never worked. It was that or be fined $1000 on top of paying for the hours never worked.
I have never shorted anyone for work they actually did. I suspect that I'm not an exception.
Of course, the obvious: quit working for cretins who rip you off [and if you can't find a job that isn't working for crooks, get some skills!] isn't a viable solution here.
Only the government can possibly come to the rescue given its stellar record in every other field in which it becomes involved.
Jason / July 30, 2008 2:59 PM
Ok, if dozens of lawyers already go after companies... problem solved. Go get more firms to get into the racket. Take it into your own hands rather than wait for the government to do something about it.
This is not as serious as a murder trial, so don't dumb yourself down by pulling the "well, if we take your logic to its end..." argument.
Ramsin / July 31, 2008 2:26 PM
For an academic, you are very dumb. Didn't you know the world is as easy as the economic snakehandlers say it is?
You obviously have not been reading your Free Market Gospel.
See, employers are never wrong; the people in the wrong are either the government for using coercive force to redistribute the result of a perfect process (market creation of wealth), or the individual for making bad choices.
See? So "obvious." Why are the tens-to-hundred million members of the working class who struggle to make ends meet in the richest country on Earth so bad at making choice?
Why did they choose to be conceived?
Why did they choose to be conceived by their specific parents?
Why did they choose to be born into an industrial post-manufacturing service economy?
Why did they choose to not be hunter-gatherers?
Why did they choose to be born in the town they were born in?
Why did they choose to attend the schools they attended?
Why did they choose to have not-rich, un-connected, or disinterested parents?
Why did they choose to have pressing costs to living that prevented them from pursuing higher education?
Why did they choose to make the cost of living increase while real wages declined?
Why did they choose to have productivity go up, meaning they had to work harder and have less time to pursue independent education or have a side business?
Why did they choose to have to eat to not die?
Why did they choose to have food cost money?
Why did they choose to have healthy food cost even more money?
Why did they choose to have the cost of food go up?
Why did they choose to have the cost of energy go up?
Why did they choose to not just quit a job they don't like even though they have pressing demands on their income, such as child care, debt service for the little college they may have attended, climbing energy bills, car repairs, etc.?
Why did they choose to not be naturally talented?
Why did they choose to exist in a society that requires the vast majority of people to work for a very small minority of people for the minimum amount they're willing to accept in order to maximize profits and thereby ensure the "efficiency" of wealth creation as determined by Our Lord, Thy God, the Market?
Why did they choose to make it a logical and practical impossibility that EVERYONE in an economy can just go out and "get skills" that will allow them to not be dependent on an employer, thereby making the argument that "everyone" should just do that an absurd solution to a real problem of working class dependence on a politically empowered employer class?
Why did they choose to be limited by the public transportation available to them?
Why did they choose to be limited in the social networks they contact with?
Why did they choose to ever get sick and get large medical bills?
Why did they choose for employers to outsource as much work as possible?
Don't you understand Jacob? Human creatures are born in giant vacuums with perfectly alike conditions; and then, they are perfectly rational actors, like robots. This makes "personal responsibility" an absolute, as opposed to contingent, concept, and anyway, only the working class should have personal responsibility; cartels shouldn't be meddled with except in cases of extremely gross negligence or exploitation which, of course, will be defined by them.
And, in the end, it all makes the Laffer Curve true.
Therefore, tax cuts.
See? All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
Ramsin,
Before I pass the proverbial box of tissues to you...
That is a pretty wide swath that you lump into the qualitative "struggling" bracket. Is it 10 million or is it 100 million?
The US census projects the number of households in the US at 111,162,000 in 2007. You are saying that anywhere from 10-90% of US households are struggling to make ends meet.
...households that fall under the poverty line range from 12-16% at any given time.
Your reasoning seems to be: life is hard, so the government should provide for anyone with a sob story.
You may want to keep those tissues to tidy up the stain; you seem to have wet your pants at the revelation that, gasp, working life is hard for most Americans. Hey, don't be so scared little guy. Take my hand, I'll walk you through it.
It is a count of individuals, not households.
So, pants wetter, if 14% of American households, or 15,000,000 households (times the average 3 people that live in it) are living at or below our very low poverty line, that is 45,000,000 individual human creatures (how abstracting of you to ignore the individual.). I know, so insignificant.
Is your contention that only the families at or below the poverty line (those mere 60,000,000) are struggling to make ends meet?
That is absurd on its face.
Obviously, people up to as high as 300% of the poverty line have trouble making ends meet; look at the negative savings rate, the debt-to-savings ratio, the lack of adequate health insurance; home foreclosures; individuals with more than one job; and on and on and on.
My reasoning only "seems to be that" because you don't understand it, or are willfully distorting it.
My reasoning is that the "individual" as a rational actor that is the underpinning of your tired libertarian idealism is non-existent because we are all born into social conditions beyond our control until well into our adolescence and in fact adulthood; and that an economy that requires laborers at the bottom therefore has a responsibility to those laborers at the bottom, exactly because they are necessary for the economy to function.
Redistribution of wealth is something that was supported by the likes of Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson--presumably not because they were weeping into tissues. The redistribution of wealth starts with protecting the rights of workers to bargain collectively, a mutually-agreed to collective bargaining agreement that has nothing to do with "the government" you hate so much.
But, yes, that same government, which is really just the people, has every right to manage competition.
In the future, please save your phony rugged libertarian tough guy "sob story" rhetoric for bleeding heart liberals who think the EITC will save humanity.
Jacob / July 31, 2008 5:35 PM
Jason: I'm pretty sure (and I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong), that civil courts don't exist to substitute for law enforcement. I don't think (and I'm trying to be non-inflammatory here) that workers in poultry plants are going to be able to:
1. find a reputable law firm
2. risk employer sanction, losing their job, etc. etc. while waiting for a suit to come to fruition
3. Deal with lawyer fees, etc.
4. when the DOL should be doing this.. and yet doesn't even long the calls that come into the wage and hour hotline. The DOL itself estimates that 100% of poultry plants are out of compliance and that the majority of growing industries in the US are over 60% non-compliant with wage and hour standards. It's a pretty gigantic problem that would "clog the courts" unnecessarily when the DOL has ALL the tools to at least make a significant dent in the problem. We're not asking for the DOL to anything but enforce the law.
Jason / August 1, 2008 9:07 AM
"But, yes, that same government, which is really just the people, has every right to manage competition."
Where is that right in the US constitution?
Oh yeah, it isn't there. Its some fabrication so that people like yourself can create self serving narratives and perpetuate your role.
Ramsin / August 1, 2008 11:45 AM
"Self-serving narratives and perpetuate your role." I love meaningless, "fashionable nonsense" that comes from the right. Of course, that sentence doesn't mean anything.
The interstate commerce clause allows the federal government to regulate inter state commerce. That seems pretty clear and has been confirmed by the Supreme Court. Any commerce that impacts commerce between the states is open to regulation.
You can oppose the interpretation of the interstate commerce clause (and welcome back things like child labor and segregated diners), but that still wouldn't solve your problem, because all rights not ennumerated in the Constitution are still available to "the people". The people have social sovereignty over all activities of the state. This is what terrifies conservatives and the radical right, that ultimately, the people can assert their control over all the activities of the state through democratic means. Even property rights, a fact we all tacitly consent to with institutions like eminent domain and emergency war powers.
Jason / August 1, 2008 12:07 PM
Regulating commerce is different than competition. Nice try though.
mike / August 1, 2008 2:26 PM
One of my friends has a saying: "In France, rich people still get rich."
Ramsin / August 1, 2008 6:31 PM
The definition of "commerce" has been disputed, but nobody would deny that competition falls under its umbrella. A broad definition of commerce is trade(this follows from the 18th/19th century definitions); are you really trying to say that competition is not an element of trade, and thereby commerce? "Nice try."

Decades ago, people-maintained storage for collections and personal items in their basement, attic, or garage either in their house or a family home. In today's world, it seems people move more often. Younger people can attend university further away previously because of communication and easier means of travel. After college, they change jobs more often as new opportunities present themselves toward a more successful career. Some items may not carry an immediate need for each move but aren't something the owner wants to get rid of. Storage options have become an important resource for people to keep items they don't need at the moment but want to keep until a better opportunity for active use becomes available.
Storage buildings can be expensive and because of their fixed location can be difficult to access. A storage pod, on the other hand, can be loaded at a private home and moved to a convenient facility for storage, or taken to a new home for unloading. The storage pod can be used for short or long-term storage as well as serving as a moving truck. A storage pod is simple to load at each customer's convenience, as it can be left at their current home for as long as needed, then can remain at the home or be moved to a private facility for long term storage. Like a traditional storage unit, access can be had to the pod while in long term storage, or it can be delivered back to the customer when they are ready to unpack and put their valuable items back to use daily.
Companies such as Box-N-Go provide more services than simple pod storage. Box-N-Go, because they have access to the means required to move and store pods can also help individual needs to load and unload the units. The pods can be conveniently stored at a personal residence if there is room in the yard or driveway or stored in a public access area maintained by the company.
Pod storage Los Angeles is convenient as people in the area tend to move around more than people in other areas, so whether items need to be moved to a new home or stored temporarily between homes, Box-N-Go can provide for the needs of an active family. Serving Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura counties and the surrounding areas, Box-N-Go is certain to be able to serve the needs of anyone whether moving or who needs storage space provided by a friendly and professional company who provides service with a smile.

Q: LLVM CommandLine: how to reset arguments? I have two static libs that use LLVM command line to parse arguments:
// lib1
void main(int argc, const char **argv) {

  cl::opt<bool>LibOption1( ... ) // arg1
  cl::ParseCommandLineOptions(argc, argv, "lib1\n");
}

.
// lib2
void main(int argc, const char **argv) {

  // need to reset arguments list here ..

  cl::opt<bool>LibOption2( ... ) // arg2
  cl::ParseCommandLineOptions(argc, argv, "lib2\n"); // crash here!
}

The app is linked against two this libs and they parse arguments just fine if having only 1 lib in the app and crash while parsing arguments if having both libs in the app.
It seems that in lines with // arg argument is added in some global static list (?) of arguments and this makes them have mixed arguments list and affect to each other.
Is there any opportunity to reset that global list before declaring arguments?
PS. I've found that static arguments list in CommandLine.cpp:
/// RegisteredOptionList - This is the list of the command line options that
/// have statically constructed themselves.
static Option *RegisteredOptionList = 0;

A: What is void main supposed to be? main returns int, and in any case libraries can't provide a main. If this is in some namespace, still please don't write void main.
The global list is supposed to be a feature, so that each library can provide its own (differently-namespaced) arguments. The library should not be calling cl::ParseCommandLineOptions itself; only the true main function should do that. Additionally, in a library it doesn't make sense for cl::opt to be a local variable, because then it only exists for the duration of that function. (If you are the application, then you can arrange for cl::ParseCommandLineOptions to be called before the cl::opts expire).

The homepage of CouchTuner is very minimalistic with only a big search box so you can find your favorite tv shows faster. You also have easy access to the most important pages of the website in the top header menu. In the same time, at the bottom of the site there are listed top trending tv series, links to our social media pages and a little disclaimer that tells you CouchTuner is completely legal because it doesn't host any files, is just publishing links to third party websites.
CouchTuner - Biggest Tv Shows Collection
Even if we like movies, we always prefer to binge-watch all the episodes from our favorite series, and that's why we decided to focus a bit more on tv shows than movies on CouchTuner. That doesn't mean you can't find movies here, there are almost 10.000 HD movies that are waiting for you. However, much more episodes are available, approximately 60.000 episodes from 1700 tv shows and everything can be watched for free. In order to view a movie or a serie on our website, just browse through our collection using the search boxes or the dedicated pages for each type of content.

CouchTuner - Latest Episodes Updated Daily
As we previously said, our main focus are the tv shows and that's why we've created a special section called New Episodes in the header of the site. This is were you can watch all the latest episodes uploaded on CouchTuner. To explain you a bit how this thing works: everyday there are releases of new episodes from a lot of tv shows, we sort them, choose only the best and then we publish the links on our website. This is a very fast process so you can watch your favorite episodes in just a few minutes after they are officialy released by their particular network. We are uploading only HD movies and series dubbed in English. If it is a foreign language content, we are always adding the official English subtitles.
CouchTuner - Free Streaming Without Ads
We are also working hard to offer all our content without advertisement but sometimes we can't control this because of our dependance of third party websites. We recommend everyone to use any type of adblocker in order to get rid of all the annoying pops and ads. Also, a precautionary measure even if CouchTuner is completely legal, is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to make your browsing experience more secure and private, especially if you are living in a country where free streaming of movies and series is prohibited by the law.

Many women wait from one year to the next in order to save up for that luxurious bag, or watch, or even a pair of shoes. We plan ahead, keep our eyes on the target and just go for it when the time (and finances) are right. However, nowadays with the skyrocketing dollar, the value of which is going up everyday, it seems that our savings won't really make the cut. Do you think that should stop you from buying those luxury items or you would consider purchasing a previously owned item which would be more affordable?
The idea of buying used goods and selling them has been around for a long time. What's changing now is that there is an actual emerging market based on this concept. For many individuals (read women), scaling back on their favorite luxury items is not an option. Hence the popularity of the idea of consignment stores.
In an effort to change our deeply ingrained Egyptian mentality, which seems to be set in pyramid-stone, Pepper's Luxury Closet owner took the leap and opened Egypt's first and only upscale used-goods store. Their collection features 100% authentic luxury fashion brands and includes handbags, shoes, accessories, designer watches, Mink and Fur coats. They've also recently introduced men's accessories to their collection. Pepper's is on its way to becoming one of the largest consignment stores in the Middle East.
We talked to the owner and managing director of Pepper's Luxury Closet, May Ezz El-Din, to get the inside scoop of what it's actually like to be operating a consignment store in Egypt.
Pepper's Luxury Closet owner identified a gap in the market. She noticed that there are only two dominant stores that offer highly priced items and specific designers, so they took advantage of the opportunity to introduce brands into the Egyptian market that weren't previously available.
One key advantage would definitely have to be the amount of money you'll be saving when you buy things almost 50 percent discounted for almost the same quality you would get if you paid full price. The other advantage would be the installments option. You can acquire the designer item you've been wanting for a while, at a discounted price, and you get to pay in installments!
In a store like Pepper's a variety of designer luxury brands can be found, including Celine, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Hermes, Christian Louboutin, their best sellers being Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Chanel and Rolex.
They even sell jewelry, offering high-end brands, such as Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard and Van Cleef & Arpel. So weather you're looking for a bag, jewelry, accessories you'll be sure to find what you're looking for.
Deciding the placement of a bag or any other luxurious item in the store is not a simple process. Authentication is an important step that must be carefully considered. Ezz El-Din explains the process of how an item gets evaluated.
"We are a group of certified merchants and dealers here in Egypt, we have partners in Dubai, Turkey, Beirut and our network is expanding as we speak. Once the item has been submitted, we require to keep it for at least one week, given the long queue of items under authentication. We then get back to the seller with a price quotation. Once we agree on the price, we proceed with marketing for the item on our various platforms; be on our VIP list who are given the first look at new arrivals, or by displaying at the store, participating in events, and promoting it on social media," she said.
We know that you've been eyeing that Chanel Boy, or that Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Well, believe it or not, that's one of the best investments you could make when it comes to buying a luxury items. According to Ezz El-Din, the best brands to invest your money in are definitely Chanel, Hermes and Louis Vuitton, as these brands never go on sale and are not found in outlet malls so they retain their value and you get a great resale price for them.
"Chanel increase their prices 10% every year. A bag like the classic flap pretty much looks the same with very minor changes over the year. People who bought it 10-15 years ago can sell it now, PRE-OWNED, and make double what they paid a decade ago…what investment appreciates like that? Guess not even real estate or stocks!" she added.
It might be a bit challenging to introduce people to the concept of investing their money in a pre-owned luxury goods, but if you have the passion for making this work, it will work!
While it may not be in our culture to buy used stuff, in face of all the changes we've been having this is definitely one mindset that needs to change. It's time to adopt some new habits if we plan on surviving in this ever-changing economy. There's no better place to start shopping consciously than at Pepper's Luxury Closet! Pepper's has sold over 7000 items to date and they note that all their clients are happy with their finds.
Think of all the money you could save on buying your luxury shoes, bags and watches at a discounted price. Your bank account will thank you for paying in installments!

Aberdeen shoots down growth of pension fund JVs
By Richard Lowe2010-04-19T17:38:00+01:00
GLOBAL - Aberdeen Property Investors has defended the indirect real estate investment approach and predicts the recent popularity of joint ventures among large institutional investors will be a short-term phenomenon.
In a white paper entitled Reassessing the case of indirect property investment, Aberdeen said the indirect model was "not broken", but rather was suffering from a change in perception from investors driven by the negative effects of leverage.
The report admitted lessons needed to be learned and applied in the future, through closer attention paid to investment risks and structures that enable better alignment of interests.
Commenting on the paper, Andrew Smith, chief investment officer and head of fund management at Aberdeen, said: "The credit crisis and market downturn, synchronised across asset classes, have affected property investors' risk appetite and altered perceptions of different forms of property investment.
"In this context we find that most of the arguments for indirect property investment remain intact," he said.
Leverage problems and a lack of control over commingled fund investments have prompted many large institutional investors to look for alternative investment models, such as direct investments or joint ventures (JV).
Aberdeen said this had raised the question of whether this would prove to be permanent trend or only a cyclical response to the market downturn.
"We believe that the direct property and JV solutions will prove to be the latter, although we foresee a more balanced approach to the use of different forms of property investment in the future," the paper said.
Aberdeen also argued the recent phenomenon of institutional investors focusing on their domestic markets was also going to be a short-term trend.
"We believe the recent retreat from indirect investment and cross-border investing will prove to be a more cyclical phenomenon, and that international activity will pick up strongly as liquidity improves," the paper said.
"In practice, the arguments for indirect investment remain as valid today as they were in the boom times. Investors with limited resources have access to portfolios of a size, quality and geographical spread that would be unavailable through other means."
Aberdeen admitted real estate prices had become "more integrated with the wider capital markets" and said correlations with other assets classes would be high in the future.
However, its white paper argued the circumstances, which triggered the synchronised global collapse in asset values across the investment spectrum, were highly unusual.
"It would be wrong to assume that the experience under the extreme conditions of the last two years will be a reliable guide, as markets normalise," said Aberdeen.
"Pricing will reconnect with local rental growth fundamentals, improving the scope for diversification."

Welcome to my stop on the AFTERPARTY by Daryl Gregory blog tour.
Source: Finished copy provided in exchange for a honest review.
To be honest, I originally accepted this book for review thinking it was a sci-fi, YA novel, similar to Suzanne Young's The Program. In reality it's an a adult, genre defying, mind bending novel. Is neuroscience noir a thing? If not, I think Gregory just made it one.
Lyda Rose, a scientist, a widower, a drug addict, and a psychiatric ward patient with an angel named Dr. Gloria at her side, is one f*cked up heroine & unlike any that I've read before.
This was way outside my normal reading zone and I struggled to wrap my brain around the science jargon but I was fascinated by this near-future (fictional, yet possible) world of designer drugs and the moral abyss Lyda finds herself swimming through as she races to put the genie back in the bottle.
Afterparty explores big ideas like addiction, religion and power in an action packed mystery with a cast of quirky characters. If you're a fan of sci-fi, crime with a noir feel, irreverent humor and questionable ethics give this genre mash up a shot.
But it's not religious? Or is it? Just curious -- the excerpt had a lot of God in it. Moral dilemma? I can imagine the MC would have that, considering she's one of the original creators of the drug.
Um…no, it's not religious but religion plays a huge role in the story. More in a questioning way though - and also without judgment.
It's hard to describe. Religion is a very important part of the story but not in a preachy way - nor is it *about* religion. It's just out there - left up to the reader as to what to think.
I love that this feels new and it certainly sounds cool. I think I would struggle with the science aspect (my poor brain!) Thanks for sharing!
TBH - I did struggle but I did like the questions it brought up and the blend of genres.
This book sounds like it'd be awesome to discuss in a book club! Not sure if I'll add to my tbr pile (or rather miles of piles) but I will keep an eye out for it. Love the cover and the concept.
This book would be perfect for that! I'm sure it would spur a lot of discussions - about the writing and the subject matter.
This sounds very powerful, and I love all those aspects you talked about. I'll have to check this one out.

Just almost 2 weeks since the Punishment Appeal and still no reply.. great owners.
I am sure Steven and Raj didn't see my appeal, it just been there for almost 3 days, how fun, banned for something I didn't do.
Of course of course, with school starting, constant spam, and a toxic community I didn't want to get demoted on a minemen server!
You know you were going to get demoted.
Actually AmFroot Doni and Bionic specifically said that they are giving top rank to people who finish the maze....... so how would you know if they arent....out of all flavours why did you choose salty?
Well then if no one did then they should tell the truth, honestly it is silly to say something, then never do it.
That's the point of Doni's channel.
Isn't great to have people mad at you / hate you for no good reason?
people hate you for bandwagoning so you don't get punished. i could go into detail about this if needed.
Isn't it great being a hypocrite?
Wooohooo, I am on the notable players list now! xD, gotta keep the good job, lol.
You're online and helping helping people? I read your app and I text you.. you never helped. Nice lies. I hate fakers.

How do you meet the requirements if you are 13 years old?
You need to be minimum 16 years old to apply for staff.
That may have been 1-2 months ago when the requirement was 13+, now it is 16 as stated above.
Isn't it just fun when people say: " Yes I du understnad the rooles but I am vry matchoore." And then I'm like: "Nice English, "VERY MATURE"

Q: FlowDocument doesn't show my XAML code from code behind and instead shows it as HTML tags I'm trying to show this XAML part in a Flowdocument

<Paragraph><Hyperlink NavigateUri='E6A88D2B.js'/></Paragraph><Paragraph /><Paragraph><Run FontWeight='bold'>NOW, the</Run>/ˌen əʊ ˈdʌb<Run FontStyle='italic'>ə</Run>ljuː $ -oʊ-/ <Run>BrE</Run><Run /><Run /><Run>AmE</Run><Run /><Run /><LineBreak /><Run Foreground='blue'>(the National Organization for Women)</Run> a large US organization started in 1966, which works for legal, economic, and social equality between women and men. Its first president was Betty ↑<Run>Friedan</Run>, who also helped to start it<LineBreak /></Paragraph>

When I insert my XAML Code here inside flowdocument tag it shows content perfectly and formatted:
<FlowDocumentScrollViewer Width="400" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Height="200" >
        <FlowDocument>

<Paragraph><Hyperlink NavigateUri='E6A88D2B.js'/></Paragraph><Paragraph /><Paragraph><Run FontWeight='bold'>NOW, the</Run>/ˌen əʊ ˈdʌb<Run FontStyle='italic'>ə</Run>ljuː $ -oʊ-/ <Run>BrE</Run><Run /><Run /><Run>AmE</Run><Run /><Run /><LineBreak /><Run Foreground='blue'>(the National Organization for Women)</Run> a large US organization started in 1966, which works for legal, economic, and social equality between women and men. Its first president was Betty ↑<Run>Friedan</Run>, who also helped to start it<LineBreak /></Paragraph>

        </FlowDocument>
    </FlowDocumentScrollViewer>

But I want to do this programaticaly from code behind and it doesn't work.
And it shows unformated XAML text which is exactly the same as inserted XAML code
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
                    paragraph.Inlines.Add(new Run(myXamlCode));
                    Section section = new Section();
                    section.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
                    myFlowDocument.Blocks.Add(section);

What's the best approach to show my XAML code?

A: you may need to parse the xaml to the appropriate object instead of inserting the same as a string value inside a Run.
XamlReader.Parse helps you to parse such string and initialize/create object for the same.
    Section section = XamlReader.Parse(myXamlCode) as Section;
    myFlowDocument.Blocks.Add(section);

above example is assuming the string myXamlCode with the following text (as mentioned in question)

<Paragraph><Hyperlink NavigateUri='E6A88D2B.js'/></Paragraph><Paragraph /><Paragraph><Run FontWeight='bold'>NOW, the</Run>/ˌen əʊ ˈdʌb<Run FontStyle='italic'>ə</Run>ljuː $ -oʊ-/ <Run>BrE</Run><Run /><Run /><Run>AmE</Run><Run /><Run /><LineBreak /><Run Foreground='blue'>(the National Organization for Women)</Run> a large US organization started in 1966, which works for legal, economic, and social equality between women and men. Its first president was Betty ↑<Run>Friedan</Run>, who also helped to start it<LineBreak /></Paragraph>

as a side note, the code in question translates to the following
    <FlowDocument>

            <Paragraph>
                <Run Text="<Section>...</Section>" />
            </Paragraph>

    </FlowDocument>

this may render like the html thing you see
eg

...

instead of the one which you expect.


A new year. A fresh start. Get invigorated.
The start of a new year is an exciting time that can feel overwhelming if we don't focus our goals and dreams, breaking them up into attainable bite sized pieces that move us toward our goals. Overcome those new year hurdles by using this time for smart, proactive action planning.
Whatever your goals may be, below are a few key tips and essential oils that can help support your success in the new year.
I'm using believe daily on my wrist , clarity and sacred Frankincense on forehead and back of neck . I'm going in to 2018 believing in myself that I can meet my weight lost goals and challenge myself to hold my rank this year and to strive to reach the rank above ( I also use a lot more oils . I had seen somewhere to diffuse 2 drops r.c 2 drops thieves and 2 drops Lavender love this for bedtime and for day time I switch the lavender for lemon.
My oils of choice are clarity, peppermint, rosemary, valor, release, Frankincense and brain power.
Hello Fellow 'Oilies'! I'm fairly new to YL(Aug/17) but do love all the oils. Suffering from lots of health issues & needed to try something natural! Have seen improvements in my mental health especially & love the Frankincense in the a.m. Still have a ways to go yet.
In the new year my husband and I adopted a rescue cat into our family & are enjoying her antics! However I have become very concerned for the cat's wellbeing since reading/receiving several posts on social media stating that "Essential Oils are dangerous to Cats!" What is the truth on this matter? Can someone from head office qualify any information regarding the safety issues for my feline fur-baby please!?
I haven't diffused much since getting my cat just to be cautious. Besides several of my family, who I would like to share YLEOs with own pet cats as well. I realize you can't believe everything on social media but I've seen three different posts since the new year began.
Thanks in advance to 'anyone ' who can answe my concerns, ASAP.
Hi Brenda, thank you for reaching out to us! While most essential oils are safe to diffuse around pets, you do need to use caution with Pine or Citrus oils. We cannot advise essential oils for topical purposes for animals, due to Health Canada codes and regulations. If you would like to inquire further about essential oils and animals, please contact productsupport@youngliving.com.

Captiva, Disappearance of the Outside, and Event Horizon
Randy Warshaw

The first piece, Event Horizon, was a long work of boisterous movement, collisions, and reorientations set to music by John King and Trio Bravo. The following pieces, Captiva and Disappearance of the Outside, both New York premieres, were shorter works that ran for less than ten minutes each. Captiva featured male and female partners with music by David Linton. Disappearance of the Outside consisted of a quartet of four women who performed brief solos to music by John King.

The Getting of Wisdom (1977) Bruce Beresford, Julia Blake, Dorothy Bradley, Kay Eklund
In the early 1900s, Laura Tweedle Ramsbotham (Susannah Fowle) arrives at an exclusive Melbourne ladies' college to jeers of 'country bumpkin' and 'tweedle-dumb, ram's bum'. Spirited and talented though she is, the pressure to fit in almost defeats her, until she learns to be as ruthless as the other girls. She invents an illicit liaison with the handsome new minister (John Waters), but becomes a pariah when this is revealed as a fantasy. An older girl, the elegant and kindly Evelyn Suitor (Hilary Ryan) takes her under her wing. Laura falls madly in love with her, but Evelyn leaves the school early in order to escape her ardour. Laura completes the ordeal of her schooling by winning a music scholarship – she will spend two years studying piano in Leipzig, Germany. She remains as defiant as ever.

It is quite good to be emulated with the primary school-going generation. Our presence at Tuyoo Kony primary school brought optimism among the standard seven pupils. A large number looks forward to working hard in their class work at least to clinch the secondary education and later university education. Speaking to the pupils on his experience, Leyton Mudaki attracted the pupils' attention and enthusiasm on Mathematics and science. The pupils at Tuyoo Kony found it interesting especially when they were asked to define "University" by their motivator that Friday morning.
Leyton speaking to class 7 students from Tuyoo Kony Primary School.
Most of the pupils got motivated and through this, I found it encouraging and reflected back during my time as a primary school going boy. We never received such chances and felt these pupils were more privileged in comparison with us during those times. As the head teacher of Tuyoo Kony continued with his introductory remarks, my minds travelled back to the days when we would assemble at the assembly ground only to be directed on the day's chores and nothing else. But here the head teacher encouraged the students and even allowed us to have a day off with them into the village for the collection of data.
In the course of the data collection, the pupils asked a lot of questions seeking to be told on what actually they should do to get to the university. I got very much determined to share with them my total experience in order to make them at least get what they yearned for. As part of questionnaire administration, the pupils also got involved in filling their questions which actually made them interact more with the Open Data Kit form of data collection. At the end of each interview, these pupils were willing to tell their parents what they had learnt and what they would like to be in their near future. This brought a chance for the parents to talk to their children concerning their ambitions and promised to help them in their made decisions.
Students working with Smartphones. This enabled them to learn bits about mapping the areas surrounding their community using GPS Essentials.
By the end of the survey, the pupils' were very much excited and felt to have learnt new technologies and also experienced a lot during the day. On the other hand, those who had remained at school also loved the day due to the fact that they had interacted with the tablets to learn science and Mathematics. They found this activity to be more learnable and enjoyable as well. With all this, the pupils got it difficult to let the CCRP team to leave because they felt like spending more time with us. The day was just but wow!


I liked the first book in this series, and because it's Katie McGarry, I am continuing with the series. I still have my issues with the 'motorcycle club', but thankfully I wasn't overwhelmed with it in Walk The Edge. I liked that most of the story took place away from the club's prying eyes. So, YAY for that.
I liked Breanna and Razor well enough. I think I liked them more than Emily and Oz because of the way McGarry wrote them - it was hard not to root for them. Seeing Breanna and Razor together worked for me, and there were definitely some very sweet and delicious swoony parts that would appeal to the YA crowd.
Is it wrong that I really enjoyed seeing the club struggle trying to bring Razor into the fold? Because that was my favorite thing. There were times when the story felt a bit too dramatic for my taste. Overall, the story wasn't completely pleasurable, but I liked it well enough.

I'm Leaving Behind A Viable And Secured Imo – Gov. Okorocha
Rochas Okorocha, Imo state governor
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo says he is leaving behind a viable and secured state.
Mr Okorocha said this when he received the New Commander, 34 Field Artillery Brigade of Nigerian Army, Obinze, Yusuf Tukura, a brigadier general, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House Owerri, the state capital on Monday.
He said his administration in the state from 2011 to 2019 saw to the disappearance of vices such as kidnapping, armed robbery, ritual killings, baby factories and militancy.
He added he would not be happy to hear that these crimes are back in the state after leaving office.
The governor also explained that he would be going to the senate to pursue the policy of free education so that children of the poorest in the society would have hope of survival in Nigeria.
He also promised to rebuild what he described as the political bridge that would link the South-East with the rest of Nigeria.

"We have enjoyed a very good working relationship with all the past army commanders and we are hopeful it will continue.
"I will use the opportunity in the senate to rebuild the political bridge that has linked the South East with the rest of Nigeria.
"The political bridge is somehow faulty and it is dutifully incumbent on me to rebuild it so that Igbo people will play a recognised role in the politics of Nigeria. I will also promote the course of ordinary Nigerians,'' he said.
Mr Tukura said the visit was to inform the governor that he had assumed the command of the brigade, and to familiarise himself with him.
He added that he was in the state in 2011 and he was back in 2019, while commending the governor for the transformation that had taken place in the state between 2011 and 2019.

I assume that my regex somehow malforms the proxy request, but I'm not sure how.
Other combinations that I've tried:

*

*location ~* ^/(.*)(?:/(.*))$ proxied to http://$1.proxy.tv/$2$is_args$args

*location ~* ^/(.*)(?:/(.*))? proxied to http://$1.proxy.tv/$2$is_args$args
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: You have two wildcard regular expression capture groups in your location block directive, which means everything is captured into $1.
Based on your requirements, the following location block could work:
location ~ ^/(?<subdomain>[^/]+)/(?<path>.*)?$ {
    proxy_pass http://$subdomain.proxy.tv/$path;
    ...
}

For clarity, I am using variable names (<>) in the regular expressions. The [^/]+ is used to capture the first part of URL path component (capture 1 or more characters that are not /).
The reason for the Bad Gateway error is that nginx could not resolve the domain name favicon.ico.proxy.tv. These are couple of reasons why it happens:

*

*favicon.ico.proxy.tv is not registered in DNS.

*You haven't configured nginx resolver directive with valid DNS resolvers.

Heart murmurs are sounds during your heartbeat cycle — such as whooshing or swishing — made by turbulent blood in or near your heart.
are the sounds of your heart valves closing.
caused by a serious underlying heart condition. Treatment, if needed, is directed at the cause of your heart murmur.
If you have a harmless heart murmur, more commonly known as an innocent heart murmur, you likely won't have any other signs or symptoms.
Most heart murmurs aren't serious, but if you think you or your child has a heart murmur, make an appointment to see your family doctor.
There are two types of heart murmurs: innocent murmurs and abnormal murmurs. A person with an innocent murmur has a normal heart.
This type of heart murmur is common in new-borns and children.
are most often due to acquired heart valve problems.
Innocent heart murmurs may disappear over time, or they may last your entire life without ever causing further health problems.
The most common cause of abnormal murmurs in children is when babies are born with structural problems of the heart (congenital heart defects).
Holes in the heart or cardiac shunts. Known as septal defects, holes in the heart may or may not be serious, depending on the size of the hole and its location.
Cardiac shunts occur when there's an abnormal blood flow between the heart chambers or blood vessels, which may lead to a heart murmur.
Heart valve abnormalities. Congenital heart valve abnormalities are present at birth, but sometimes aren't discovered until much later in life.Examples include valves that don't allow enough blood through them (stenosis) or those that don't close properly and leak (regurgitation).
Valve calcification. This hardening or thickening of valves, as in mitral stenosis or aortic valve stenosis, can occur as you age. Valves maybecome narrowed (stenotic), making it harder for blood to flow through your heart, resulting in murmurs.
Endocarditis. This infection of the inner lining of your heart and valves typically occurs when bacteria or other germs from another part ofyour body, such as your mouth, spread through your bloodstream and lodge in your heart.
Rheumatic fever. Although now rare in the United States, rheumatic fever is a serious condition that can occur when you don't receive prompt or complete treatment for a strep throat infection. It can permanently affect the heart valves and interfere with normal blood flow through your heart.
Illnesses during pregnancy. Having some conditions during pregnancy, such as uncontrolled diabetes or a rubella infection, increases your baby's risk of developing heart defects and a heart murmur.
While there's not much you can do to prevent a heart murmur, it is reassuring to know that heart murmurs are not a disease and are often harmless.
For children, many murmurs go away on their own as children grow. For adults, murmurs may disappear as the underlying condition causing them improves.

Let's Give The Federal Reserve Even More Power
Why not give the organization that is supposed to keep our economy stable, (through one great depression and 20 some recessions), the power to assess risk to the markets, and activities that are detrimental to the financial system? Sure, why not keep on the road of doing things in the most insane ways, like the government and the auto worker's union owning the two biggest car companies in the country? Yes, let's please give the banking cartel who creates the economic instability we are experience with their manipulation of interest rates, inflation, deflation, and issuance of M3 currency, the role of telling us when the markets and their handling of the financial system are causing instability.
Does anybody else see how there may be just a small conflict of interest here?
Federal Reserve should be systemic risk regulator: Group
WASHINGTON (Reuters)—The U.S. Federal Reserve should oversee threats to the financial system, not a council of regulators, a group led by an economic adviser to the Bush administration said Tuesday.
Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, said an idea to create an inter-agency council of regulators would inevitably be inefficient, indecisive and compromising.
Mr. Hubbard now co-chairs the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation, an independent research organization.
Fed would serve as risk regulator under Obama plan
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is proposing that the Federal Reserve serve as an all-seeing regulator to detect activities that could pose risks that undermine the entire financial system.
The administration also is recommending two new agencies to protect consumers and investors.
The proposals are part of six regulatory overhaul recommendations that the administration is circulating among key lawmakers. Persons familiar with the plan say details still need to be hammered out. No announcement is expected from the administration until the week of June 8 at the earliest.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other administration officials have discussed the regulatory proposals in the past. But the plan circulating on Capitol Hill indicated that the ideas are beginning to come together into a formal package for Congress to consider.
It just keeps coming like one big dump truck of manure being dumped on the American people. Karma is gonna be a b*tch when it comes back around.

There, the shacks will be renovated for use during Centennial celebrations next year.

With many years of training experience, from learners to Police driver training, we know that the average driver has enough knowledge and experience to get the job done MOST of the time.

Our standard Defensive driving program covers the following topics, however we are more than happy to tailor a program to meet special needs.
