Ontario is making it easier to do business in rural communities like Cornwall thanks to a tax plan that will attract investment and increase economic competitiveness.
Starting July 1, 2010, Cornwall businesses will deal with one sales tax instead of two, one set of rules instead of two and one level of government instead of two. It is estimated that businesses across Ontario will save more than $500 million a year in administrative and compliance costs.
These changes and significant savings will enhance Cornwall's "Progress Boulevard", a three-year historic downtown revitalization strategy developed to help retain and expand Cornwall's businesses and strengthen the community. More businesses will be able to prosper and new stores are expected to open -- creating new jobs and bringing more people to the downtown area.
The tax package is a key component of the five-year Open Ontario plan to strengthen the economy and create more jobs for Ontario's families.
Experts say Ontario's tax plan, which includes tax breaks for people and large and small businesses, will lead to increased investment and almost 600,000 new jobs.
A single tax system will put Ontario on a level playing field with four other provinces and 140 other countries that already have a value added tax like the HST.
Ontario funded the City of Cornwall for their downtown revitalization strategy through the Rural Economic Development Program.

When to Use "Fewer" and When to Use "Less"
I was pedaling away in spin class, gasping for air during a particularly long song, when the instructor yelled, "You have fewer than three minutes to go." Then, perhaps to distract us from the pain of those remaining minutes, she explained the difference between fewer and less. "I just learned it the other day," she said proudly.
Problem is she didn't have it quite right.
She said, correctly, that you use fewer when you're referring to things you can count (donuts, for example—but she didn't actually say donuts, seeing as we were in exercise class) and less for things you can't count (say, food), which would explain why she said fewer than three minutes.
However, in the case of fewer and less exceptions abound. When you're talking about time, money, distance, weight, temperature, and speed, you use less, so she should have said, You have less than three minutes to go.
Similarly, you would say:
• Can you get a ticket to Hamilton for less than $500?
• You have less than fifty miles to go.
• My daughter weighed less than three pounds at birth.
• Let's move to a place where it's never less than 75 degrees and sunny.
• My father drives less than 30 miles an hour, which we tell him can be more dangerous than speeding. (He doesn't care.)
Thank you, Emma, for always giving me a great workout—and today's topic, too.

Actress Katie Holmes and actor Tom Cruise arrive at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter at Sunset Tower on February 26, 2012 in West Hollywood, California.
The dream is always the same. One day you're in love and jumping on Oprah's couch, and the next your wife of five years hires an attorney. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are headed for divorce, People magazine first reported on Friday.
From Cruise-crush to Cruise-husband, Holmes has been the fashionable focus of tabloid gossip since the now 33-year-old Dawson's Creek alum married, with the help of a Church of Scientology minister, the maverick superstar in 2006.
"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family...Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest," said Holmes's attorney Jonathan Wolfe, speaking about Suri, the couple's magically bored 6-year-old.
Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields said that Holmes filed for divorce on Thursday.
"Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children," Cruise's representative, Amanda Lundberg, told The Associated Press. "Please allow them their privacy to work this out."
For academic types, predicting the demise of celebrity coupledom has recently stolen the spotlight in the study-hall of social science.
Applying math to marriage, an equation published in The New York Times in 2006 claimed to predict the probability of romantic implosion among the famous. With years of follow-up data, the Sundem/Tierney Unified Celebrity Theory was recently revisited by the newspaper.


We have a tendency to play some pretty dangerous games with each other when it comes to acceptance. Many of us pick our teams based on who should be excluded. Worse yet, some of us don't even realize we've excluded others until it's too late.
God doesn't love us because of how awesome we are, but because of how awesome he is. When Jesus commanded the CHURCH to go and make disciples, it was with the understanding that we were all on this mission TOGETHER. At no point did Jesus proclaim that the CHURCH was to be divided. In fact, he gave examples of how the diversity of people actually contribute to the same mission. Over these four weeks, we'll take a deep look at the four actions of the first church: prayer, eating and drinking, teaching and fellowship.

With a bestselling biography by Walter Isaacson on the shelves, the public has learned many shocking details about the life of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs since he succumbed to cancer in October of 2011. In addition to the surprising allegations of refusal to pay child support to the mother of his eldest daughter and the story behind his black turtleneck uniform, here are ten other surprises that have come out since his untimely demise.
Startup mobile app monitoring firm Crittercism has released a new report which is bound to get people talking about Apple vs. Android all over again. As if the fanboys ever take a break. The crux of the finding is this: Apple and its various OS iterations is not any more stable than Android and its 'fragmented' ecosystem.
In data collected between December 1 and 15 Crittercism found that there were at least 23 different iOS operating systems that crashed. Android, for its part, had 33 operating systems that crashed. Leading the way with the most crashes was iOS 5.01 with 28.64% of overall crashes. Considering just how new the OS it's no wonder that apps didn't play nice. However, even older releases such as iOS 4.2.10 had 12.64% of crashes while iOS 4.3.3 had another 10.66%. Android's worst offender looks to be 2.3.3 at 3.86%, followed by 2.3.4 with 3.65%.
Tag Games today announced that it has used its ground-breaking 'moFlow' games engine technology to instantly convert the critically acclaimed iOS social game 'Funpark Friends' to the Android operating system.
The moFlow social mobile games engine, developed in parallel with 'moMetrics', a complete data analysis solution, and 'moConnect', a complete scalable server and player-account infrastructure solution, allows Tag Games to develop 2D and 3D player-to-player applications for iOS and Android devices simultaneously. One of the first of its kind, mo technology provides a multi-platform social mobile development package with support for web, Windows, Mac and other hand-held platforms in the works.
Flurry blames Google Checkout/Wallet as a chief reason for why developers are not making iOS-like money.

King Tarannon had a house by the Sea near Pelargir that stood on arches in the Anduin. Tarannon became the first of four ship-kings, or kings of Gondor who were concerned with strengthening the nation's naval forces.
You're mixing up the lore. Queen Beruthiel stayed in Osgiliath with her cats and "tormented statues"; King Tarannon Falastur ("coincidentally" who this house is named for) is the one who wanted to be by the sea.
since im overdoing the delta of the anduin.
"the house that Tarannon built below Pelargir 'upon arches whose feet stood deep in the wide waters of Ethir Anduin"
I really have no idea what is so hard to understand here.
This quote is not copied from a wiki article and thus still up to interpretation, its a 1:1 quote from Unfinished Tales.
Got a small suggestion, since the Houses is located down in the Ethir Anduin, wouldnt it be logic to have some defences against cosairs, or whoever would try to drive up the Anduin.
I was thinking of having a bridge to a tower in the river, should there be more defense though? Maybe some small navy ships or a small navy base on a different island?
was more likely thinking about making it a bit fortified (no real Castle tho) a watchtower would be a cool idea anyways.
I don't want to beat a dead horse but if we look at the quote finrod copied again we'll see that it says the structure should be supported on arches, not just artificial land. I want to be able to swim under your palace.
Yeah i didn't literally mean i want to swim under it, I was just saying that to get the point across of having it over water.
There is always the option, of course, of having squids swimming under it.
considering the sits in the direct raiding route of the corsairs. it would be reasonable to assume the house would sit atop the cliff edge of the isle for security and safety. (stay with me fin) and to satisfy the arches deep in the water. have a small stone port/guard/gatehouse situated half on the island and half over the water built on deep arches.

Think the Aspen X Games, highlighted by sick snowboarding, freeskiing and snowmobiling competitions, are just for the kiddos? Think again!
While it is true that the events and activities surrounding the Aspen X-Games are geared largely towards the younger crowd (there's even a Major League Gaming "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" video game tournament this year), Aspen and ESPN do keep Baby Boomers and Gen Xers in mind during this high-profile event as well.
This year, the Games are being held from January 22nd to January 25th. If you want to avoid the largest crowds, and if the vibrant but sometimes frenzied millennial crowd scene at the base of Buttermilk Mountain is, well, …not quite your scene, you can still enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Games by taking advantage of the X GAMES GOLD EXPERIENCE and SUPERPIPE PLATINUM SUITE EXPERIENCE packages offered by ESPN.
These packages allow you to watch the competitions from private seating and private viewing areas, and they include access to cash bars, restaurants, complimentary food and beverages, complimentary lift and music event tickets, SuperPipe course tours and more! For more information, please visit the ESPN Winter X Games 2015 website here: http://xgames.espn.go.com/article/11815898/x-games-aspen-2015-ticket-info.
If you prefer to just leisurely watch the events from the comfort of your sofa (or the luxury of a private, large-screen home theater in your vacation rental), the Aspen X Games will also be broadcast live on ESPN and ABC. Of course, there is always your favorite restaurant, pub or bar.
In addition to the on-hill competitions themselves, the Aspen X Games always offer great music – and parties!
This year, the Game's outdoor concerts feature nationally acclaimed acts multi-platinum hip hop icon – Snoop Dogg, electro-funk duo – Chromeo, electric dance music artist – Skrillex and rapper – Wiz Khalifa.
If you are not into hanging out with a large crowd in the cold environs outdoors, and if you prefer to enjoy the music with a cocktail or two, Skrillex and Chromeo will also be performing in the intimate, casual confines of Aspen's premier live music venue, the Belly Up.
We mentioned parties, and there are plenty of other "behind the scenes" activities to enjoy at the Aspen X Games. The twitterverse (#XGames) and other online social media channels are already alive with the "pulse" of the X-games, and this will reach a fever pitch in the coming days. To give you an idea of what it has been like in the past, Curbedski.com indulged in a few of last year's festivities – here's a recap: "The X Factor: Behind the Scenes Recap of the Winter X Games".
They say they are planning on coming back this year, so we suggest keeping an eye on @CurbedSki on Twitter and Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/CurbedSki for a bead on what is going on.
Yes, adults too can enjoy the Aspen X Games, where one can find a good mix between casual entertainment and the exuberance of the events themselves. Besides, no matter what you do, all of the youthful energy surrounding the games is infectious and invigorating, and you get a great pre-Olympic preview of top athletes competing at the highest level. We might just have to go brave the crowds for a little while ourselves.

'Sextortion' victim Miss Teen USA knows suspect from high school
By: Becca Mitchell
(CNN) — The college student accused of hijacking the webcam of Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf and other young women is a former high school classmate of the pageant winner.
Jared James Abrahams, 19, was arrested Thursday for allegedly taking nude images of the women using their own webcams, and then blackmailing them to send more explicit material.
Wolf, the reigning Miss Teen USA, said she recognized the alleged perpetrator when his name and image were released.
"It's weird for me to be able to put a face to the person who did this to me, and that it was a person I went to high school with," Wolf said Friday on NBC's "Today."
Abrahams wasn't her friend or even an acquaintance, she said. She just remembers knowing his name and seeing him in the hallways of her high school.
After watching television images of Abrahams being led out of court, Wolf said she felt mixed emotions. This man allegedly had terrorized her, but she also felt kind of sorry for him.
"I don't think he realizes the consequences that he's done and the people that he hurt," she said on NBC. "He terrorized me and many girls for so long."
Abrahams, from Temecula, California, is a computer science student.
He is accused of taking nude pictures of Wolf while she changed clothes or walked into her room after a shower. Wolf said she was completely unaware; the light on her computer never turned on to show the camera was on.
Fears about such hacking is not misplaced.
Last month, it was reported that some high-end televisions with built-in cameras could be turned on without the viewers knowing.
Security cameras, lights, heating control systems and even door locks and windows are now increasingly coming with features that allow users to control them remotely. Without proper security controls, there's little to stop hackers from invading users' privacy, stealing personal information or spying on people.
Abrahams' arrest came six months after Wolf alerted authorities to the "sextortion" scheme.
Authorities executed a search warrant at Abrahams' home on June 4, at which time he "voluntarily agreed to speak" with a pair of FBI agents. Describing himself in that interview as a college freshman who was good with computers, a criminal complaint said, he admitted using malware and his expertise to "watch his victims change their clothes and … use the photographs against them."
When he admitted what he'd done, Abrahams said he had 30 to 40 "slave computers" — or other people's electronic devices he controlled — and has had as many as 150 total, according to the complaint.
Investigators also linked him to at least eight other young women, some of them, like Wolf, from Southern California. Others were from as far away as Moldova.
Wolf said she became aware of the hack after she got a Facebook alert that someone had tried to change her password to the social networking site. She then noticed other passwords had been changed and that her Twitter avatar was now a half-nude picture of herself.
Then she got a threat: "Either you do one of the things listed below or I upload these pics and a lot more (I have a LOT more and those are better quality) on all your accounts for everybody to see and your dream of being a model will be transformed into a pornstar" (sic).
Wolf says she is now on a campaign to raise awareness about the risks that technology can expose users to.

Photographer Afshin Shahidi Gives the World 'a Private View' of Prince's Life
Danielle Young
Filed to:Prince
Courtesy of Afshin Shahidi
Prince has had numerous photographers over the years, but there's one who stuck out to the Purple One from the day they met: Afshin Shahidi. If his name is familiar, it's because you know and adore his beautiful daughter, Yara Shahidi, who shines as Zoe on Black-ish and will continue to sprinkle her Black Girl Magic all over her spinoff, Grown-ish. So it's fair to say that this family is bubbling with talent.
Afshin Shahidi recently put out a book of previously unreleased photos of Prince from his tenure snapping images of the majestic legend—Prince: A Private View—and it's everything. Not only do we get to see images of Prince we've never seen before, but we also get to hear some of the entertaining backstories behind them.
Shahidi gifted me a copy of Prince: A Private View, and I've been tearing up while leafing through the glorious book. Page after page of never-before-seen images of Prince, and some of them with stories. On Page 5, for example, there's an image of Prince, with his eyes closed, sitting alone in a theater. Shahidi shares:
These were some of my favorite moments to shoot. If the sound was good, Prince was relaxed and in a great mood. Here he is relaxing after sound check at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, during the One Nite Alone Tour.
I got the chance to chat with Shahidi about his book, and of course I asked him all the things I've ever wanted to know about Prince. We also dug into what this book of magical images means to the culture. P.S.: Did you know that Prince was also an avid photographer?!
"I would joke with him because he was so good," Shahidi said. "He was able to do so many things well—he played just about every instrument. I joked with him that he's lucky he can't clone himself because he would be able to take his own picture and I would be out of a job."
The Root: How did you even get this gig?
Afshin Shahidi: The main reason I started with him initially—him being the innovator he was, he started an online music club, a subscription-based music club [where] all his fans could access his music and a lot more.
And at first, a lot of the images I would take of him would be utilized in the music club so his fans could see everywhere that we went and the shows that he played. From there, we built a friendship and a trust. From that point, he took me just about everywhere he went.
TR: How did one build a friendship with Prince?
AS: By the time I started photographing Prince, he had been in front of the camera for nearly two decades. He knew the power and the impact of images, and he himself was an avid photographer. I ended up buying him a camera at one point because he had such a good eye and he was always asking to borrow mine, so I said, "You know what? You deserve to have your own camera."
I was able to capture moments that typically—if it was a photo shoot with someone he didn't know, he would be a lot more guarded, but eventually he would forget about the camera being there and he would let his guard down. Some of those images are in the book, and I think those are the most arresting ones and tell you the most about him because people aren't used to seeing that. They're used to seeing him on a stage with a guitar for a portrait or something. I wanted to capture a side of him that people haven't seen.
It all came from a trust he had for me and an understanding he had that I was there to capture the moments, but to also be his creative collaborator. Once that trust was there—he knew my family, my wife and my kids—it was more than just an employer-employee relationship, and that allowed me to capture a lot of these images where he was unguarded.
TR: You went from young kid on set to director of photography with Prince. Can you talk about your stellar career trajectory?
It all came from a trust he had for me and an understanding he had that I was there to capture the moments, but to also be his creative collaborator.
AS: I was very passionate about photography, filmmaking and image-making, as was Prince about music, so I think he sensed that in me from the first moment he saw me at [his compound in Minnesota] Paisley Park and kinda looked at me like, "Who is this kid? He doesn't look like any of the people here," to then seeing me in music-video shoots and having conversations with me.
He started giving me opportunities. I was a camera assistant, and I remember there was a crew in from [Los Angeles] and the operator wasn't getting the shot the way Prince wanted it. We were shooting a music video. Prince looked at me and was like, "Can you do it?" I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place because I didn't want to step on the toes of these other people who were hired to do this. Yes, I can do it.
I looked over at the [director of photography] at the time and he was like, [shrugs], "Go for it if you think ... " So I said, yeah I can do it. Prince asked what would I do and I said, "I've seen this angle so many times on you, what I would do is stand up on your piano and shoot down while you're playing." He thought about it and was like, "OK, do it."
Next thing I know, I'm operating the camera, standing on top of Prince's purple grand piano. I was so nervous. I took my shoes off. I was up there in socks. I was slipping. I was nervous about falling on top of Prince and ending it for both of us. It was one of those things, like, "This kid thinks he can do it, let me give him a chance."
TR: A picture is worth a thousand words; the photos you've taken of Prince, what are a few words you think of when you flip through them?
AS: It took me a while to look at the images after he passed. I think what always stuck out to me—even when I was photographing him—were his eyes. They were just always so piercing. Even looking at them through my lens, I felt like he was looking through my lens and through me at the same time. "Mesmerizing" is a word. Watching him play live, it's electrifying. I found it difficult to capture those live moments in the way that I liked. I felt like there was so much energy in his performance, and the still image didn't give you the full impact of what was happening on the stage.
When you look at the picture, it's like an out-of-focus picture. But I felt like it captured the energy of the performance much, much more. He was looking at the pictures and he stopped me and asked, "What's up with all these out-of-focus pictures?" And I explained to him I had a hard time showing how amazing his guitar solos are in pictures that are sharp and in focus. I didn't feel like he bought it. [Laughs.]
[His eyes] were just always so piercing. Even looking at them through my lens, I felt like he was looking through my lens and through me at the same time.
I still took those kind of pictures because I thought they were good. By the third time, he asked me where are the cool pictures. I thought he didn't like them! It was amazing because Prince was like, we can all learn something from other people.
TR: What's your favorite image you've ever taken of Prince?
AS: That's a hard one. I have a lot, not because I took them, but I think he's so mesmerizing in so many ways. I think I do prefer the candid shots. Coming from a film-and-documentary background, those speak to me a lot more. I liked doing the live shots where he's performing. That's a lot of great energy, and I was uplifted just sitting there listening to his music. Those were fun for me to shoot.
There's a couple images that I really like, and I think it's because his eyes are so piercing. That image of him with a black hat, it's a portrait—head and shoulders —and he's looking into [the] camera. It's somewhat mysterious, but it's a true Prince. He's so relaxed and comfortable.
So some of these images, I recall what was happening at the time. It may not be just the image itself but the circumstances around the images that makes it stand out for me. That one was from when he was doing the "Black Sweat" video, and he was walking and there was some great light, and I was like, "Prince, stop right there." And he stopped and he let me have a few shots.
TR: What was the best thing about the job?
AS: The awesome thing was the job and the relationship itself, which translated to a lot of opportunities. I love to travel, and that was the most enjoyable part of the job—I got to travel the world with him. As I said in the book, oftentimes it wasn't with a lot of preplanning.
I'd get a call when I'm out with family and he'd be like, "Hey, I'm going to Panama tomorrow." "Can you come to Morocco tomorrow?" It was exciting that I was able to do that, and it became so normal for him to call me and say that, like he was asking me out to coffee.
TR: Why do this book?
AS: A lot of fans have reached out since his passing, asking for a book [of] images, and I was hesitant. I found that as I explored the idea, it was therapeutic to work on this and put it together. I wasn't sure if I would publish it, but I did it to make the fans smile and see a part of Prince they may not have known. I wanted people to see that he was a man, a human being. I don't think he ever thought of himself as any more than that.
Prince: A Private View is available now.
Pretty. Witty. Girly. Worldly. One who likes to party, but comes home early. I got stories to tell. Prince (yes, that Prince) called me excellence. Achievement unlocked.

How can we as believers "put on" an attitude of love in our homes? What does it look like to "put off" sinful responses and attitudes and "put on" God-honoring attitudes? I'm hoping today to encourage you that as believers we can "put on" attitudes and behaviors that are God-honoring. If we are in Christ, He has equipped us to do so through His presence within us and through our intake of God's truth.
22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation the old has gone the new has come.
The apostle Paul reminds us throughout his epistles that we have a new nature. It affects our mind, heart, knowledge, wisdom, love, desires and every aspect of our being. According to God's Word, we are new – transformed.
As believers, we now have a new nature. Our behavior is now able to match our new nature because Christ is in us. We are risen with Christ, and we should now behave in accordance with who we are.
We came to Christ with habits and ways of thinking that are difficult to break in our strength. As believers (those who have repented and put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation) we have become new creations by the work of the Lord in us at the moment of salvation. We are made new.
We need to let Christ think through us – how do we do this? We need to know and meditate on His Word – we need to fill our minds with truth so our minds are created in righteousness and holiness – when that's in our mind that's the way we will live.
It is not easy becoming holy. There can be no superficial understanding of God and His Word – we're called to excellence.

Race against waste
|In 3d, Commercials, Visual effects
This is one of my favourite old commercials done around 2005 while working for Screenscene in Dublin. When originally shot it was planned that a lot of the destruction and dirt elements such as the debris elements would be done practically on set and so there was a very large engine from an old messerschmitt airplane brought on set where various bits of paper, boxes and dirt were thrown in front of it. Unfortunately it didn't look quite as violent as was originally hoped so it was back to the 3d route to create all of the various bits of destruction in the commercial. The director's idea was that the wave of rubbish wouldn't roll over itself like a normal wave, it would roll back on itself and tear up from the ground to give it a more violent and unnatural sense. After tracking the shots in syntheyes, I set about the joyous task of using the terrible slow and unstable realflow 2 to generate the main body of the fluid wave. Back in the days of 32 bit computing this meant a tonne of instability, crashing, lost work and general cursing. We ended up with various different meshes of fluid elements which were either used entirely, or only for their alpha channels with their fill replaced with stock footage in the comp later. The various bits of rubbish were made with simple models fed into particle flow. The audi was a model I had made before hand and was animated before being fed through realflow for further cursing and generation of more elements of fluid pouring over the bonnet.

EPHRATA — Two men were killed in a crash Monday morning about 10 miles south of Ephrata.
The Grant County sheriff's office says the vehicle left the road, hit a utility pole and landed on its top in an irrigation canal.
The crash was reported by passers-by who noticed the downed power lines.


But a special thanks to dakini and pebs who defended my fellow GenQ artists and our work.
My dear boyblue (whose very name suggests ganymede-like worship from an individual I assume is not a youth) does not seem to understand that as part of a generation who has no major centre of culture as my parents did (the cold war, the vietnam war, the me decade(s)), I am a purveyor of my own postmodern universe and I will bring it about and show the world what I see as much as possible in as many ways as possible. This expo has only been the beginning of my generation's musings, please, support us and let us possess the hope we are destined to attain and maintain.
This is for "my name" who wished for more gay youth. Your wish will come true with works like these. We have hope, even though our images may seem bleak. If we did not have hope, we would not cry out. Soon, all we will need to do to be heard is whisper. The world will be quiet and we will listen to it.

With Globalization, You'll Need Skills
August 30, 2016• Employment• by The Conversation
Concern over the employment consequences of globalisation is again driving political debate. Look no further than the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union and the rise of protectionism in American and Australian politics to see the disenfranchisement of low-skill workers with the effects of international trade. Judging by the dramatic change that has occurred in the global distribution of manufacturing output in the past 25 years it's easy to see why these workers should be so concerned.
In the early 1990s the United States accounted for 30% of manufacturing output, retaining the position as the world's leading industrial producer that it had held for almost a hundred years. At that time, China produced only 5% of global manufacturing output.
Today that position has completely reversed. China produces 25% of manufacturing output and the US only 15%.
Differences in labour costs between the US and China explain much of this transition. Many types of manufactured goods mainly require relatively low-skill labour to produce (especially goods such as textiles and footwear, motor vehicles, electronic consumer goods).
Developing countries, where wages paid to low-skill labour are much lower than in developed countries, are able to produce these manufactured goods more cheaply. As developing countries such as China have increased their engagement with international trade this has caused a large-scale switch in the location of production of manufactured goods – from developed to developing countries.
Recent research has found that low-skill workers in the US have been made significantly worse off by the transfer of manufacturing activity to China.
The research estimates that, without the rise in Chinese imports, there would be 560,000 extra manufacturing jobs in the US today. As well, workers in industries most exposed to competition from Chinese imports are found to have experienced an average income decline of over $500 per annum against annual earnings of $40,000. This negative effect on annual earnings has been largest for workers with the lowest earnings.
Another important finding is the role of location in explaining the impact on the US labour market of increased imports from China. Manufacturing industries facing competition from China are concentrated in particular locations in the US (mid-west and southeast). It is in these regions that the impact on low-skill workers has been largest.
The geographic concentration also explains why it is taking workers who have been adversely affected so long to get back into work. A larger number of job seekers chasing the available job vacancies in a region mean longer average times spent out of employment.
Manufacturing workers in the US may have been made worse off by globalisation, but economic theory predicts that there should also have been winners in the US. With increased international trade, the US can produce and export to China more of the goods where it has a comparative advantage as a supplier – such as professional services that require high-skill labour to produce. In other words, China uses the extra income it earns by selling manufactured goods to the US to buy other goods and services from the US.
However, so far there is not much evidence that this has happened. Instead of using its extra income gained from selling manufactured goods to buy more imports from the US, throughout the 2000s China saved that income, maintaining a large trade surplus. The benefits to US workers from globalisation therefore have been muted compared to the prediction of economic theory.
The experience of a rapid rise in imports of manufactured goods from China is, of course, not unique to the US. While much less is known about the impacts on those other countries, what is known is consistent with the US experience.
Other research finds that in the UK in the 2000s, workers in sectors most affected by growth in imports from China spent more time out of employment and experienced a drop in earnings. Again, these effects were most pronounced for low-skill workers.
Australia has shared the experience of rising exposure to international trade with the US and UK. From 1960 to the mid-1970s in Australia, the share of international trade (exports plus imports) in GDP was constant at about 25%.
Since then the role of international trade in economic activity has increased steadily, now being above 40%. While there has not been much research on the topic for Australia, it seems that the recent rise in China's manufacturing output has had less impact than in the US or UK. There had already been substantial declines in the share of workers in the Australian manufacturing industry in the 1970s and 1980s, so there was less scope for a negative effect.
What Australia has shared with other developed countries is a commitment to being increasingly open to international trade. To a large degree, this policy stance has been motivated by economic theory, which predicts that the gains to the winners from growth in international trade more than offset the costs to the losers. A lack of evidence about the winners from international trade challenges this orthodoxy – or at least suggests that it cannot be taken as an article of faith.

Previous / Brazil and Abu Dhabi technical review Next / STR predicts big 2011 for Alguersuari
Barrichello expects 'aggressive' design
Matt Beer
Rubens Barrichello says he is excited about the 'aggressive' design approach that Williams is taking to its 2011 car, though he stopped short of predicting that the team will take a big step forward next season
It was recently announced that the veteran Brazilian would stay with Williams for a second year, and Barrichello is optimistic about what he has seen of next season's car so far.
"I feel good. I feel that the team is doing a good job on what they're doing for next year," he said.
"It's an aggressive style - the approach for next year's car seems to be quite aggressive, which is good. I'm up for it, I like it."
But asked if he was feeling confident about Williams gaining ground in 2011, Barrichello replied: "We can never say that, because if you talked to every team right now they would sell you a winning car for next year.
"It's a bit on the fantasy side right now. Some [new cars] are going better, some are going even better.
"But ours in the tunnel seems to be going okay. We just need to keep our feet on the ground and work with it."
Barrichello added that he was very satisfied with the progress Williams had made during 2010. Although the team did not manage to get back onto the podium and was only sixth in the constructors' championship, Barrichello felt Williams' performance strides were greater than the results suggested.
"I think the turnaround was after Istanbul, where we sort of got to the bottom of the problem," he said.
"There was a change in the characteristic of the downforce coming onto the car, so we had to change the windtunnel for that, and it made it better. After that it was an improvement all the way through - bang, bang, bang.
"Even though it has been very down in terms of results the whole year long, the team conquered a lot and progressed. We overperformed in qualifying a little bit on new tyres, but we still had pretty decent races."

The software is definitely not being neglected -- I use it constantly, and I do appreciate your persistance in sticking around with these delays. The issue is time, as I'm spread thin with contract work, books, and a 6-year old that we're homeschooling. That said, I don't want to be backed into a corner about this as upgrades and improvements are not an entitlement (when you register, you license that version, not future versions), but as a practicing meteorologist I am always interested in upgrading the software and as that happens and my time gets better (especially now that I am in a larger dedicated office) everyone will benefit.
Digital Atmosphere work started earlier this month. There will definitely be an update this month and the interface may be improved somewhat too. A few scripting commands will also be added.
Shannon (my wife, who is a programmer and meteorologist too) is busy developing a parallel weather forecasting application, and it should run on Mac, Linux, and Windows -- and it may become a successor to Digital Atmosphere. I can't release any details about that project yet, but this will be be in demand once it's out.
College of DuPage's radar directory was down for the past 1-2 weeks which caused some problems with Digital Atmosphere accessing radar data. The issue has been fixed today at their server.
I could never get DAW Pro updated and had to uninstall and reinstall original CD.
Just wondering if the update is done yet? It is now November and you said "There will definitely be an update this month". It is now the start of November.
I'm planning to buy a DA license but not sure when i read this topic and the announced new release.
can anybody inform me of the current status ?
There is some uncertainty at the moment where that is concerned.
I was just wondering if anyone knows when -- or if -- there will be an update to DA. I've heard many "stories" about a new update forthcoming, but all that ends up being is a lot of hype, and as a longstanding customer, I am once again deeply concerned about this. Now I fully understand that Tim is focusing more on books these days then anything else, and that he and the wife are raising a child and such. But my question here is -- where does the DA customer fit in? I'm generally not a person to rant, but I feel this neglect of updates to a software package has gone on years too long! Maybe updates are not an entitlement as Tim said on here awhile back, but good business practice has always been to "keep the customer satisfied".
Alright, rant over. If anyone has any information, pass it along! Thanks.
We are moving toward a different compiler so we can support Mac and Linux too, and we are trying to figure out whether we want to go with RealBasic or some other language. Once this is done, the updates will definitely resume, especially since this is my line of work and there are no greener pastures to move on to, as far as I'm concerned. At this point it's mostly just a time issue of when the work starts. My Weather Analysis & Forecasting book was completed last month, which took many, many weeks, and this week we are building a classroom, and after that my time is free.


Hayes Modular installed steel-frame modules built by Z Modular to form two temporary housing facilities for homeless families. The factory-built steel framework ensured precise alignment, allowing the team to stack 15 to 20 modules per day.
Hayes Modular installed 2,400 modules over four contract periods in one of the largest modular U.S. military projects. The 34 UEPH buildings were equivalent in size to a 140-room hotel. We erected one building every nine days, finishing on time and on budget.
Hayes Modular installed 36 modules in four days. Using a modular solution saved Holiday Inn Express 27,000-man hours at the job site. That's 27,000 fewer hours for a general contractor to worry about safety. Other benefits included a reduced laydown and staging area, fewer lost materials and a more energy-efficient finished product.
This student housing project was the first modular multifamily building in Waco, Texas. Hayes Modular had the expertise to turnkey construct this 51,768-square-foot building in under 10 months. The exterior incorporates the Waco/Baylor masonry theme and complements the historically significant community while utilizing 21st century modular construction methods.
Hayes Modular was subcontracted to install and finish out approximately 150,000 square feet of a permanent modular healthcare facility. This impressive hospital looks exactly like a traditionally built hospital. The only difference is that each of its steel and concrete modules was engineered and manufactured off-site. The building not only exceeds strict International Building Code for hospitals, but is also 30 percent stronger than the original nine-story St. John's Regional Medical Center.

At first glance Carly and Martina might look like your average teenagers, but they're powerhouses making music with a message. Music was ingrained in the 17-year-old twins who were both classically and jazz trained in playing piano since the age of four. Their dad - a music history connoisseur - filled their ears with only the rich sounds of classic pop. Along the way, the Chicago-based musicians found themselves somewhere in the middle - fusing their old - school pop upbringing with Taylor Swift's Redera.
But it wasn't until they were 11 that the strong-willed musical duo began songwriting. By sixth grade, the sisters were both experiencing bullying and as a result songwriting became a cathartic outlet. They turned their personal battles into positivity, writing the anti-bullying anthem "Make Me Happy" in 2014.
The success of their first single caused a chain reaction for the girls. "Make Me Happy" emotionally resonated with fans, helping the musical duo gain a large, loyal fan base on social media of over 250K fans. It's something that's in part due to their overwhelming sense of positivity and desire to connect with their fan base, but has also grown due to sharing a plethora of acoustic originals and covers during the past eight months.
In 2017, the sister duo got the opportunity to talk about the importance of using their music to instill confidence in others during a during a TEDxTalk. They've also continued to make a difference with their music in a recent partnership with United Way of Metro Chicago, helping underprivileged kids through songwriting workshops in the local communities.
Now, Carly and Martina aren't trying to make the next big party anthem: they're focused on empowering others and being unapologetically themselves. Carly and Martina have collaborated with an array of songwriters for their next chapter including Victoria Shaw (Garth Brooks, Christina Aguilera), Big Al Anderson (Zac Brown Band, Meghan Trainor) and Marty Dodson (Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney). They're not limited by genres, but inspired by catchy pop hooks and acoustic elements, producing their own work and playing their own instruments live. In 2018, Carly and Martina released the summer anthem "Block His Number" and "Love Me Later." Both tracks dominated the #1 spot on Radio Disney's Total Request Now as well as gotten support from publications such as Girls Life and Pop Dust. Off the back of their radio support, Carly and Martina are also Radio Disney Correspondents, traveling the country to interview the hottest names in music. With their unwavering positivity and high energy, Carly and Martina have built their own sound - and they're not backing down.

Recognise the small entrepreneur
Developing the micro sector would not only help the less privileged sector of society, but also help in achieving inclusive socio-economic development
IT is widely believed, and not without substance, that the recent large scale replacement of currency has caused avoidable distress to the small business man, micro and small entrepreneur and trader. The social and the mainstream media have been providing ample empirical evidence of the impact of the breakdown of cash transactions. It is also common knowledge that these small people contribute enormously to the production of consumer goods and providing a variety of services. Anecdotal evidence suggests that micro entrepreneurs have the resilience of rising from failures; failures do not deter them from starting a new business. They can sustain themselves on minimal infrastructure. In most cases, however, even that minimal infrastructure is not available to them.
In fact, the micro and small enterprises do much more than is commonly understood. Evidence from a number of developing countries suggests that sizeable development of small and micro enterprises in the rural areas is strongly correlated with reduction in poverty. It is also to be expected that self employment through small and micro enterprises not only adds to the income of entrepreneurs, but also generates one or two more jobs. It has also been observed that rural-urban migration is checked with the growth of micro enterprises in rural areas. Therefore, in order to have equitable growth with generation of jobs, a major thrust is called for in setting up and nurturing micro enterprises in rural areas.
According to the National Sample Survey of 2011, there are about 5.8 crore non-corporate business units, excluding the construction sector. Eighty-five per cent of these non-corporate enterprises are self-owned enterprises. They employ 10.8 crore persons, half of whom are in rural areas. There, non-farm enterprises do not need much capital. It is estimated that the value of fixed assets per unit is about Rs. 2 lakh. About one-fourth of the non-farm units are engaged in manufacturing and the remaining are accounted for by retail trade and services. Thus, the Indian non-corporate sector provides employment to the bulk of population. Sadly, however, no government till now has really reached out to them because there seems to be a policy preference for the corporate sector. The small entrepreneur is treated by the State and financial institutions with indifference, if not scorn.
Another factor that should be tested for policy formulation is whether the rural non-farming sector depends on agriculture for its survival and growth. The micro economic experience shows that the non-farm sector has grown even during the periods of stagnation in agriculture. Therefore, it seems that, while the non-farm sector has vital linkages with agriculture, its fortunes are not determined by agriculture alone. Entrepreneurship plays an important role.

THE true impact of these tiny entrepreneurs must be judged from the percentage of population touched by them, rather than the size of their turnover. An interesting study made in 2011 looks at caste-based entrepreneurship. It finds that the micro sector is dominated by backward sections of the societies-OBCs, SCs and STs. The National Sample Survey shows that 5 per cent of the sector is owned by STs, 14 per cent by SCs and 48 per cent by OBCs. In rural areas, 72 per cent of the self-owned enterprises belong to their disadvantaged caste groups. Women entrepreneurs own about 14 per cent of these businesses. It can, therefore, be concluded that policy instruments aimed at developing the micro sector would also help the less privileged sector of society and help in achieving inclusive socio economic development.
Over the next two decades, the continuing demographic dividend in India could add about two percentage points per annum to India's per capita GDP growth, provided their entrepreneurship receives due recognition and support. On the other hand, there are warnings that the new youth from the middle class, who are barely educated, with no productive skills to speak of, could become a huge threat for India's future. Which way do we go will be decided by the policymakers in the months and years to come.
Endpoint: Why is it that we have not learnt to honour the spirit of entrepreneurship in our youth?

Biografia

Sir Warin Michell nacque Warin FitGerold, noto anche come Sir Warin FitzGerold II o il Giovane, suo padre Enrico FitzGerold (FitzGerold era probabilmente il figlio di Robert fitzGerald, proprietario terriero dell'Essex. Enrico aveva un fratello di nome Warin, la prima apparizione dei fratelli fu nei documenti della fondazione dell'abbazia di Walden, tra il 1138 e il 1144).

Sir Warin Michell nacque sotto il regno di Re Enrico II ed era un cavaliere crociato. Warin, servì il successivo monarca, Re Riccardo I d'Inghilterra come cavaliere templare durante la terza crociata e successivamente servì re Giovanni d'Inghilterra. L'itinerario di Re Riccardo I - 8 giugno 1191 rivela che Warin FitzGerald si trovava all'Assedio di Acri, una delle parti più sanguinose della Terza Crociata. Mentre cacciava con il Re, il gruppo fu attaccato dall'esercito di Saladino, lui e alcuni altri cavalieri aiutarono a salvare la vita del Re. Warin sposò Alice de Courcy, figlia di William de Courcy. Con questo matrimonio ereditò Stogursey Castle vicino a Bridgwater nel Somerset, in Inghilterra.

Nel 1215 firmò la Magna Carta di Re Giovanni.

WINDHOEK – The world's largest aerospace company, Boeing, now faces the dauting task of convincing aviation regulators, airlines and the flying public that its planes are safe after its top brass admitted that a failure in the single-aisle 737 Max jet's anti-stall system, MCAS, was a factor in last month's Ethiopian Airlines crash. That disaster, combined with a Lion Air 737 Max crash in Indonesia five months ago, left a total of 346 dead and the admission by Boeing opens the floodgates for lawsuits that one aviation analyst expects to be 'eye watering'.
Despite the most recent disaster, global airlines have largely stuck by Boeing with about 5 000 plane orders still on its books.
"In the long-term, given there are more than 14 000 single-aisle aircraft in service globally and half of these are Boeings, it is hard to see a scenario where the Max is not returned safely to service and in the long run accepted by the travelling public as a safe aircraft. Compensation is going to be significant factor, and the sums involved are likely to be eye watering," commented Peter Morris, a chief economist for a global aviation consultancy.
Meanwhile, Boeing issued a statement late last week regarding the release of the preliminary investigation report of the fatal Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 by the Ethiopian Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB).
"Safety is a core value for everyone at Boeing and the safety of our airplanes, our customers' passengers and crews is always our top priority," read a statement from Boeing's Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Kevin McAllister.
He noted that the preliminary report contains flight data recorder information indicating the airplane had an erroneous angle of attack sensor input that activated the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) function during the Ethiopian Airlines flight, as it had during the Indonesian Lion Air 610 flight in October last year.
McAllister added that to ensure unintended MCAS activation will not occur again, Boeing has developed and released a software update to MCAS and an associated comprehensive pilot training and supplementary education program for the 737 MAX.
The update adds additional layers of protection and will prevent erroneous data from causing MCAS activation. Flight crews will now have the ability to override MCAS and manually control the airplane.
Boeing stated that it continues to work with the US Federal Aviation Administration and other regulatory agencies worldwide on the development and certification of the software update and training program.
In a separate statement, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said the company will work closely with customers and global regulators to return the 737 MAX to service.
"We now know that the recent Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accidents were caused by a chain of events, with a common chain link being erroneous activation of the aircraft's MCAS function. We have the responsibility to eliminate this risk, and we know how to do it. As part of this effort, we're making progress on the 737 MAX software update that will prevent accidents like these from ever happening again," Muilenburg assured.
Meanwhile, in statement released late Thursday last week, Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Group acknowledged the preliminary report of the accident, saying the report clearly showed that the Ethiopian Airlines pilots at the helm of ET 302 on 10 March followed the Boeing-recommended and FAA-approved emergency procedures to handle the most difficult emergency situation created on the airplane.
"Despite their hard work and full compliance with the emergency procedures, it was very unfortunate that they could not recover the airplane from the persistence of nose diving. As the investigation continues with more detailed analysis, as usual we will continue with our full cooperation with the investigation team," read the statement.
"We are very proud of our pilots' compliances to follow the emergency procedures and high level of professional performances in such extremely difficult situations. We are also very proud of our Global Standard Pilot Training Centre and the Ethiopian Aviation Academy which is one of the largest and most modern in the world equipped with state-of-the-art and latest training technologies … I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our valued customers, the travelling public, the media and global aviation professionals for the remarkably high level of votes of confidence and strong support that you have been giving us starting from the day of this tragic accident.
We will double our efforts every single day to win your confidence and earn your business.

"We are ready! We told our parents that we want to play real soccer. Since most of us have 'fallen in love' with the game we are now able and willing to work hard on improving our playing abilities. However, we are very self-consciousness when learning new skills, and your patience is very much appreciated.
"We are unsure of our relationship within the group and with those in authority, which sometimes results in our feeling insecure and frustrated. Because of this, we need continuous encouragement which drives us to continue to strive for improvement.
"We are now in need of seeing excellent demonstrations and need to be given brief explanations of what you want us to learn. We need you to review our old skills before introducing us to any new skills. Also be sure that, once we are active, you give us subtle 'points of refinement' but only when necessary.
A few will still continue to be ball watchers.
Most will be able to predict the flight of the ball.
Most will be able to look up for space to run into.
Most will be able to find teammates to pass to.
Some will begin to glance and realize that they are in their shooting range.
A few will continue to be ball chasers.
Some will have learned to pace themselves.
All can accelerate, but some will still have difficulty decelerating.
The concept of space is beginning, so encouragement to hold their position can and should begin.
All should have mastered ground ball control.
Most should be confident in bringing flighted balls under control.
They should now understand "Right foot right side; Left foot left side" action beginning.
Some will be able to change pace and direction to adjust to the situation.
Most will be able to beat an opponent with a fake or feint.
Most will know when they are within their shooting range.
Most will be able to pass accurately over short distances.
Some will be able to pass accurately over longer distances.
At this age, interest in playing soccer has usually been developed and most players are able to perform the basic skills with a fair degree of accuracy. Do not expect to see in the game anything that was not accomplished in practice.
They understand the concept of scoring, keeping score, winning, losing, and that the object of the game is to win. Adults at this stage must be very careful in keeping the results of the game in perspective!
The U-12 player will now attempt to win the game not only by attempting to score more goals than the opposition, but also by attempting to deny the opposition the opportunity to score.
At this age interest in playing soccer has in most cases been developed and a more structured approach needs to be taken.
It is a fact that coaching U-12+ players is challenging because all techniques should have been mastered and the introduction of tactics must begin. Keeping in mind that the key to learning is repetition and repeating is often considered boring. Therefore, you must be able to disguise the repetitive actions. Don't get frustrated. You can reach and teach all players with the proper approach.
The FUNdamental SOCCER Practice is a youth soccer coaching method that, when properly adjusted, has been proven to work with U-12+ players. No More: Drills, Eye-foot coordination games, Soccer related games, Lines, Laps and Lectures. It is a methodology that is often at odds with the traditional methods, but really works with U-12+ players.

150 YEARS AGO: Forces within striking distance of each other in Central Missouri
Rudi Keller
FAYETTE — Two forces — one fast-moving Federal cavalry, the other raw rebel recruits trying to organize — were within striking distance of each other, Federal commanders here discovered.
The senior officer on the spot was Lt. Col. William Shaffer of the 2nd Missouri Cavalry, known as Merrill's Horse. He had marched to Fayette from Columbia with 200 men seeking out Col. John Poindexter, a Confederate recruiting officer.
When he arrived at Fayette, he found elements of four regiments — including another detachment of Merrill's Horse — and an independent Ohio cavalry company.
Maj. William Torrence of the 1st Iowa Cavalry reported that on this day "reconnaissances in force were made to Glasgow, Roanoke, and surrounding country."
Poindexter was pinpointed as having his camp near the headwaters of Silver Creek, near the home of Joel Smith in Randolph County.
In camp, Torrence reported, his forces learned there were 600 to 800 "regular enlisted men" and "an equal number of aiders and abettors of rebellion."
On the same day, Shaffer learned that Col. Caleb Dorsey, who had been defeated Dec. 28 at the Battle of Mount Zion Church, was marching toward Columbia. Dorsey had moved into the Perche Hills after the defeat and regrouped what remained of his forces.
The large cavalry force here was part of a massive Federal show of force in Central Missouri after the destruction of the North Missouri Railroad.
ST. LOUIS — Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck wrote to Provisional Gov. Hamilton Gamble that he was trying to find a just policy for rebel soldiers returning from the Missouri State Guard.
"It seems to be too hard to arrest and confine all and yet it is difficult to make distinctions except in cases where their loyalty is fully vouched by reliable Union men," Halleck wrote.
Too many rebels, when allowed to return to their homes, became guerrillas and spies, Halleck wrote. Only an iron-clad oath of allegiance, backed up by a firing squad, would provide the right incentive for secessionists to be peaceful, Halleck wrote.
Those who refused would be held as prisoners of war subject to exchange. The most important part of a hard policy, Halleck added, was enforcement. "If after voluntarily taking it he shall violate it then impose the penalty with rigor," Halleck advised Gamble. "A few examples would probably put a stop to its violation."

Worried by the increasing high maternal, newborn and child mortality rates in the country, the Oyo state government has commenced the vaccination of children under the age of five years against killers diseases.
The commissioner for health in the state, Azeez Adeduntan while flagging off the maternal, newborn and child health week in the state, says the overwhelming Nigeria health indices especially those affecting mothers and their children need to be improved upon.
Adeduntan promised that the government will continue to support evidence-based health interventions that will ensure that citizens, especially women and children live their optimum healthy lives.
The chairman of the Ibadan northeast local council development area, Prince Gbade Lana disclosed that 2808 health personnel and 351 town announcers have been trained and ready to disseminate these interventions across the various communities in the state.


Our year-end market analysis finds the "Trump Trade" (as it is being referred to on Wall Street) continues to drive stock markets higher. Historically, the period between November 15th and January 15th is a good time to own stocks for investors. Many believe that stock markets move on moods of investors, and we are definitely experiencing a mood swing. Stocks had very minimal returns for 20 months, then, with the election results, a switch appears to have been flipped on Wall Street. Eventually companies' earnings will need to justify stock prices, but for now conditions are favorable for stocks to indeed reach 20,000 in the next few weeks.
Over the past few weeks since the presidential election, stocks have rallied, and now we are experiencing what is referred to as "the Santa Claus effect". I have mentioned the Santa Claus effect in past market analysis blog writings.
Companies announce their earnings reports starting in mid-January. Going into the end of 2016 and the start of 2017, the enthusiasm for the President-Elect has caused the price-earnings ratio of the stock market to reach extremes. Will this increase be maintained? It is possible, but we need to see companies return to growth, which has been stagnant the past two years.
As we approach the end of 2016 and look forward to 2017, I am very thankful for our clients we have the pleasure to serve. Sharing our life experiences, dreams and goals are the most rewarding perks of being a wealth advisor. From all of us at Indie Asset Partners, we want to wish everyone a blessed Holiday Season.

SHOP: The Cady's Alley Holiday Bazaar opens today and runs through early January. Head to Georgetown to check out five online fashion and accessory brands, who will be selling their wares in real life. They're having a party tonight, of which there aren't many details, but I'd expect sales and for artists to be around to talk about their work. Free. 7 PM.
FILM: Diving Normal is a movie in which boy meets girls, then other boy meets girl, and boys (peacefully) engage in something of a battle to win her charm. It all takes place in modern-day hipster Brooklyn, so it's got that quirky charm to it. There's a screening at the Georgetown movie theater and a Q&A with the filmmaker afterwards. Tickets ($12) are available online. 8:30 PM.
PARTY: Brightest Young Things is throwing its annual holiday blowout, Homo for the Holidays, an LGBT-friendly/centric party featuring Le Tigre's JD Samson, Carmen Carrera from RuPaul's Drag Race, the Mixtape deejays, and lots more. It's at the Howard Theatre. Tickets ($20) are available online. 9 PM.
BEER: Black Squirrel hosts the 12 Beers of Christmas, which is not a classic holiday song but rather an event in which you can try 12 holiday ales and beers (at market price), as well as some Christmas cookies (for free). 5 PM.
SHOPPING: Head to the Logan Circle/14th Street area for a shopping extravaganza and holiday lights decoration contest. Ted's Bulletin, Logan Hardware, Cafe Saint-Ex, Bar Pilar, Matchbox, and lots of other places are participating with specials and various holiday cheer—check it out. Free. 5 PM.
BURLESQUE: It's not immediately clear to me why there needs to be a burlesque take on the first Christmas, but, hey, that's the America we fought the British for, right? Bier Baron hosts the extravaganza, and has its usual beer selection to help you through the show. Tickets ($12) are available online. 8:30 PM.
CHRISTMAS: The Smithsonian's holiday festival at its Castle features films such as The Muppet Christmas Carol, various chocolate demonstrations (which I assume means "chances to eat chocolate"), other food, a Christmas market, and lots more. Free. 10 AM to 4 PM.
MOVIES: Good news! It is now seasonally appropriate for your child (inner or otherwise) to watch Frozen yet another time. CityCenterDC is hosting a sing-along, which I assume is code for "elaborate play date." Free. 10 AM.
COCKTAILS: The Carnegie Library is hosting its seventh annual Repeal Day Ball to celebrate the fact that on this day 81 years ago, Prohibition was abolished. Some of the nation's best bartenders will stir up delicious cocktails for you to celebrate the occasion. Tickets ($80) are available online. 8 PM.
STORYTELLING: If you're a fan of DC's storytelling scene, here's your chance to see similar works in a longer format. Inga Brege and Keith Mellnick will each perform a 40-minute solo act at Speakeasy DC's show at Woolly Mammoth. Both are world premieres. Tickets ($22) are available online. 5 PM.
MORE STORYTELLING: Story League takes over the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, presenting a lineup of storytellers talking about the holidays. You'll get to see a bunch of people who have honed their craft in New York or on the radio, and best of all, the whole thing is free.
