On my last post I shared a couple of my favourite places to stay at while I visit Paris. Now that we are settled, I was to share some tips of where to go and local markets and eateries to visit while in Paris.
Head out for some exploring to Montmartre, and take in the amazing views from the steps of Sacre-Coeur Basilica or the roof top Galeries Lafayette terrace.
Walking around the city, aside from the famous monuments, I suggest that you check the neighbourhood markets and boutique shops.
I love the area close to the Place Vendome. Aside from the amazing architecture, you may find an interesting exhibit or market.
Chocolate Chapon: Great for finding souvenirs. 69 Rue du Bac.
Des Gateaux et du Pain: Delicate and equally tasty pastry. If you are on a diet, just stay outside. 89 Rue du Bac.
La Patisserie des Reves: another pastry shop where you can find sweet treats. 93 Rue du Bac.
Angelina: One of the famous chocolate and pastry shops. I not only adore their pastry but also love to collect their cute little metal boxes for the caramel and chocolate. Don't forget to checkout their tea room and their brunch menu. 108 Rue de Bac.
Hugo & Victor: the chocolate and mini dessert shop. Highly recommend their chocolate. 40 Boulevard Raspail.
The food and wine are amazing and you can enjoy watching your meal being prepared by the Chef in the open kitchen. There is a fixed menu option with seven courses or you can choose from the a la carte menu.
If you like to taste all the goodies on the fixed menu but don't have room after all that chocolate, you can get one fixed menu to share with an extra main course and it be more than enough to try a bit of everything.
The staff is very knowledgeable and super helpful so ask them if you are after anything specific.
Tell me about why you love Paris and what are your favourite places to visit and eat. This girl can't get enough of this city.
World traveler, food lover and a professional engineer! Love to discover new places, trends and things and share my experiences with family, friends and anyone who wants to listen.


The Young Turks do it once again! They demonstrate their lack of cross referencing and very simple fact checking leading to an embarrassing situation for an online media outlet that has an alleged intrest in journalistic intergrity and "giving viewers the facts".
They commit a big mistake in their video title and description. They say in the title "Will Britain exit the Euro (Eurozone)". That is not the question being asked for British citizens at the referendum, the question being asked is should Britain leave the European Union not the single currency of which it it not a part of.
For those of that don't know, the European Union is a political and economic union of 28 member states that have agreed on certain things like a common market, common regulation, relaxed border controls, free trade, agriculture policy etc.
The Eurozone is a currency union (of which Britain is not a part of) of 17 European Union member states that have adopted the Euro as their common currency and sole legal tender. Monetary policy of the zone is the responsibility of the European Central Bank (ECB) which is governed by a president and a board of the heads of national central banks.
In all seriousness, if they made this atrocious mistake at a professional media outlet they would be suspended and not even be considered serious by anybody. This is something a very simple google search would rectify. It is stuff like this that demonstrates why The Young Turks should not be taken seriously as a media outlet especially by younger generations who are their target audience because this can easily lead to misinformation, confusion and even ignorance of the politics of foreign nation.
The irony of this is in their video they implicitly condemn ignorant Americans who don't care to know or care about European politics, yet in a way they are reflecting this carelessness and ignorance through their mistake which they still have not corrected a day after the video was released.
This is not the first time something like this has happened, nor will it be the last.
I don't think they're aware Sam. LOL.
I don't think the TYT are even self-aware m8. It is official Info-Wars is a better source than TYT, Geez seriously.


Terfamex is a brand of Phentermine from Mexico mostly sold in Latin American countries.
It belongs to a category of stimulants called amphetamines.
These drugs work on the central nervous system to help you lose weight. Terfamex has three main effects.
First, it boosts your metabolism, so that you burn more calories throughout the day. Next, it gives you more energy so that you can exercise and adopt a more active lifestyle.
Finally, Terfamex gives you a feeling of being full for longer periods of time between meals, so that you don't crave snacks during the day.
Terfamex phentermine can help you lose weight through the combination of these three effects.
But doctors also agree that it's important to eat a healthier diet and start an exercise program if you want to see Terfamex results.
It is just a tool to help you make changes and lose weight.
There are many factors that contribute to obesity and will determine how much weight you can lose with Terfamex.
Things like your family history are out of your control, so certain people will be able to lose more weight than others.
That's why you should talk to your doctor about setting goals and having realistic expectations. Looking online, there are plenty of before and after stories, testimonials, and reviews.
You'll see that some people can lose 100 pounds or more over the course of a few months, while others lose less weight.
Again, the changes you are able to make to your diet and lifestyle will have a big impact on how much weight you lose with Terfamex.
While most people can take it safely and lose weight, there are some people who should not take the drug. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take it, because the chemicals in it may be harmful to babies.
People with severe hypertension or hypothyroidism should not take it, since the ingredients can make these conditions worse.
Finally, because Terfamex it to the same family as amphetamines, it can be unsafe to take it if you have a history of drug or alcohol problems.
That's because stimulants work on the central nervous system and can cause psychological problems in some people.
Still, the FDA and the UN Commission on Controlled Substances both place Terfamex in Schedule IV, which means that it has a valid medical use and a low potential for abuse or addiction.
Be sure to tell your doctor about all of your health conditions and any medications you're taking before starting Terfamex.
The most common Terfamex side effect is insomnia, or difficulty sleeping. That's because stimulants give you more energy so that you feel more awake and alert.
Be sure to take it in the morning when you eat breakfast, so that you get the full benefit of the drug. Also, taking it too late in the day could make it difficult to sleep at night.
Again, even if you can purchase it without a doctor's prescription, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor first so that you can decide on the right dose (15mg tablets or 30mg capsules), how long to stay on Terfamex, and what kind of weight loss you can expect.
On the surface, there isn't that much of a difference between these two brands of Phentermine. Furthermore, there is a lack of information to help you determine which one is best.
Most people don't have much of a choice as their local pharmacy only sells one brand anyways. Either one should be okay.
Where can I buy Terfamex pills? If you're not from Latin America and are looking to buy Terfamex online, be careful of the site you're purchasing from. Try to look up reviews and make sure it's legitimate.
You're better off going to your local pharmacy with a prescription to buy whatever brand of phentermine they sell, even if it means paying a higher Terfamex price.
In summary, Phentermine is one of the most prescribed weight loss drugs. It's very important that you speak to your Doctor before taking this drug because of the risk of side effects, interactions and potential for addiction.
Reviews consistently show people losing significant amounts of weight with the drug, however studies show much more modest but still worthwhile amounts of weight being lost.
Terfamex for sale is readily available in Mexico for really cheap prices. Much lower than the phentermine brands available in the United States for instance.

The team of analysts and senior advisors consists of close to ten people, supported by IT and database expertise.
IEIF provides statistics, information, analysis and forecast on French and European property markets as well as on indirect investments such as SIIC (French listed REIT), OPCI (French unlisted REIT), SCPI (unlisted property collective investment funds), property based UCITs.
In this capacity IEIF designs and produces different property market indices on listed real estate as the Euronext IEIF SIIC France Index and REIT Europe Index and on unlisted funds as the EDHEC IEIF Commercial Property France Index.
IEIF's expertise is structured around four complementary service offerings: research on unlisted property funds, research on listed property companies, research on direct property both commercial and residential and a club focusing on analysis and forecast of the French property market.
IEIF adopts systematically a top down approach, starting from the financial and economic conditions to analyse the property market behaviour and then the specific vehicles dynamic. This comprehensive approach helps the members into their strategic decisions, may be as diverse as asset allocation principles for institutional investors or market timing for property developers.
The EDHEC IEIF Quarterly Commercial Property Index (France) was developed by IEIF (Institut de l'Epargne Immobilière et Foncière) and EDHEC-Risk, in collaboration with the global competitiveness centre Finance Innovation, under the patronage and with the support of La Française Group. It measures the monthly performance of an aggregate portfolio of unlisted funds, without financial leverage, representative of the performance of French commercial property.
The index is published quarterly, with publication occurring on the 20th of the second month following the end of each calendar quarter.


When it comes to dental care, it's just as important for kids as it is for adults. Because several oral health issues can develop at an early age, children should have their first dental examination around the age of one, or by the time their first tooth comes in. National Dental Melville is a family practice, and we strive to foster a fun and educational environment for your child. By learning about healthy habits at a young age, kids can carry numerous benefits with them into adulthood.
The treatments recommended for your child will largely depend on his or her age and unique oral health needs. Once we complete an examination, we will be able to design a customized treatment plan based on the specific needs of your child. Listed below are just a few of the services we offer at National Dental Melville.
Just as adults require dental examinations every few months, kids do as well. This will simply allow your doctor to monitor your child's growth and progress. In addition, we will also check for any potential problems, as they can typically be treated in a minimally invasive manner when diagnosed early.
Oral bacteria like to hide in the plaque deposits on the teeth. These microbes feed on sugary and starchy foods, creating an acidic environment in the mouth. If the teeth are not professionally cleaned on a routine basis, these bacteria can lead to tooth decay.
Lifelong habits begin at an early age. It is so important to encourage your child to become invested in his or her own oral health. During visits at our office, we will combine fun with learning, and teach your child how to properly brush and floss at home.
When the enamel wears thin, the teeth become much more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatments actively remineralize the outer surfaces of the teeth, making them strong and resilient against cavities.
Sometimes the back teeth tend to trap food and debris. This is because of deep grooves, pits, and fissures in the chewing surfaces. These areas can be especially difficult to clean, making them a breeding ground for decay. Dental sealants can be applied to shield the teeth from cavities. After thoroughly cleaning the teeth, your doctor will apply a clear, plastic-like liquid, then harden it with a curing light. Of course, dental sealants are not a replacement for proper brushing and flossing, but they are an excellent supplemental tool for those who are prone to decay.
To learn more about the pediatric dental services we offer, schedule a visit at our practice. You can call us at (631) 816-2277 or contact us online.

"Fairy Roads Lead Nowhere At All": Reading Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Welcome back to our re-read of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. For the month of May, we're looking at chapters 33-40, wherein the magicians part ways.
Jonathan Strange, while aiding the king of England, finds himself locked in magical conflict with the gentleman of the thistledown hair (who he does not yet know) for the well-being of the king. The gentleman wishes to clear the way for Stephen Black to rule England, and though Strange successfully resists him, he finds himself more attuned than ever to otherworldly influences. We find out that Arabella Strange has also come to know the gentleman, though she assumes he is a displaced king who lives at the Poles' house.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lascelles is abusing the name of the magicians for his own profit, promising long-distance lessons and personal commission without their knowledge. When Strange encounters two of these supposed students, he is pushed to demonstrate his own magic in unprecedented ways. He travels through a mirror—and thus through a strange land—to interrupt one of Mr. Lascelles's meetings, throwing all of the man's shady plans into disarray. But the fervor for the fairy world and the Raven King's magic that this inspires in Strange creates a rift between himself and Mr. Norrell. The two of them break their arrangement and Strange finds himself shortly thereafter called to help fight Napoleon upon his escape from Elba.
Jonathan Strange's increasing conviction that the key to truly understanding and performing English magic lies in embracing the lore surrounding the Raven King means that these chapters focus a lot on fairy roads and paths, as well as fairies themselves. As such, we find these chapters engaging with medieval folklore. And this recalls one of the incidents I find most fascinating in medieval chronicles.
Norrell describes fairy roads as "wide green roads between high green hedges or stone walls" and he explains that these roads have fallen into disuse. He also dismisses superstition and fear concerning them, insisting that "[f]airy roads lead nowhere at all." When Strange becomes obsessed with otherworldly roads and the possibility that mirrors might provide an entry point onto them, Norrell is forced to admit that there is "a path which joins all the mirrors of the world," one which was "well-known to the Great Mediaevals." This novel, after all, repeatedly asserts that there was a "thriving community of magicians and fairies" in the Middle Ages. Indeed, Strange's jokes about how to acquire a fairy patron (to wander in "out-of-the-way copses and mossy glades") reflects medieval romances, where fairies were most often met alone in liminal spaces—by running water and under trees (particularly grafted ones). Modern fantasy classics, like C. S. Lewis's The Silver Chair also play with these conventions.
But medieval fiction was not the only genre fascinated with the otherworld. Here and there, we see references pop up in contemporary historical records as well. One such example is the account of the green children who wandered into the English village of Woolpit in the 12th century. You can find one version of it in William of Newburgh's Historia rerum Anglicarum, translated into English here. The chronicle recounts a heavily-witnessed account of two children with green skin wandering into the village, unable to speak English and unable to eat anything but beans. Their skin color seems directly related to their diet, as the text indicates they "changed their original color, through the natural effect of our food" after a while. The children have very little knowledge of their past, but know they lived in a land without sun and can assure the anxious villagers that it was Christian, an indication to readers that there is concern about the otherworldly origins of these children. The chronicle presents the incident as odd and follows it up with a list of other strange incidents—including one wherein a drunken man finds a group of men and women feasting in a house set into a hill and steals away a cup of "unknown material, unusual color, and strange form."
And the concept of roads that might run between fairy and human worlds, is not without its medieval origins as well—perhaps, most famously, in the legends of Thomas Erceldoune (or Thomas the Rhymer), a thirteenth-century Scottish seer who was later reputed to have visited fairyland. In the late medieval romance about him, Thomas takes up with a fairy mistress and she shows him roads to heaven, hell, and her own country. This is retold in one of Child's later ballads, where Thomas is shown three paths:
O see ye not yon narrow road,
So thick beset with thorns and briers?
That is the path of righteousness,
Tho after it but few enquires.
'And see not ye that braid braid road,
That lies across that lily leven?
That is the path of wickedness,
Tho some call it the road to heaven.
'And see not ye that bonny road,
That winds about the fernie brae?
That is the road to fair Elfland,
Where thou and I this night maun gae.
It is his journey to fairy land that grants Thomas his prophetic ability. How will Strange's journeys on otherworldly roads change him? We'll have to read and find out!

SF Home Sales Rise By 20%
by Bay City News | June 18, 2010 2:31 am	| in News | 0
Bay Area home sales in May increased by 18 percent from the previous month, but sales fell in many affordable inland areas in the region due to a dwindling inventory of low-cost foreclosures, according to the real estate information service MDA DataQuick.
A total of 8,264 homes were sold in the Bay Area in May, up 18 percent from April and up 11 percent from May 2009, according to DataQuick.
The number was the highest for the month of May since 9,935 were sold in the region in May 2006, but it was well below the average of 9,842 sales for the month since the records were kept in 1988.
Sales increased by more than 20 percent in May compared to the previous month in wealthier counties such as Marin and San Francisco, while Solano County saw a drop in the month of about 7.6 percent.
That disparity caused the median sale price for a home in the Bay Area to rise to $410,000, up more than 10 percent from April, and more than 20 percent from May 2009.
MDA DataQuick President John Walsh said in a prepared statement that the latest numbers appear to show that "high-end financing is gradually loosening up."
However, the fading amount of available tax credits means "there's obviously going to be less wind in the market's sales" in the second half of this year, Walsh said.
He said, "A healthier job market and low mortgage rates will be key to driving demand."

Children's Myths & Fairytales /
Complete Fairy Tales
Author: PERRAULT, CHARLES
Quick overview Perrault's fairy tales in a scintillating new translation, including the less familiar verse tales and with illustrations by Gustave Dore. The introduction explores the imaginative power of the stories and the many interpretations to which they have been subject.
'Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have!' Charles Perrault's versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault's tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. In addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales - the troubling account of patient Griselda, the comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This new translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Retailers ask Ontario government to lift COVID restrictions they say aren't working
December 2, 2020, 10:41 a.m. ·2 min read
TORONTO — A coalition of about 50 retailers is calling on the Ontario government to lift COVID-19 restrictions for non-essential stores it claims is making things worse.
In an open letter to Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliott, the retailers argue that shutting down Toronto and Peel Region to restrict the virus's spread hasn't reduced the number of shoppers.
Instead, consumers are funnelled into fewer, crowded stores and adjacent communities, which potentially creates greater health risk.
The retailers say the current policy pushes more consumers to big-box and discount stores that remain open after being deemed essential, while thousands of small, independent and local stores are closed despite selling many of the same products.
They say they have been forced to lay off workers instead of employing thousands of temporary people to handle the holiday sales rush.
The business leaders are calling on the government to immediately open all retail stores in the province and impose a 25 per cent capacity limit on non-essential stores in lockdown regions.
"Large and small retailers need each other to create a vibrant retail ecosystem," said the letter signed by the heads of companies including Hudson's Bay, Canadian Tire, Birks and Ikea.
"Collectively, we are asking that you join with us in common cause and a shared commitment to keeping Ontario families safe and secure through this extraordinarily challenging period."
The provincial government responded by noting the restrictions are aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19 to protect the health and well-being of Ontarians.
Alexandra Hilkene, a spokeswoman for Elliott, said the government must limit opportunities for individuals to have close contact with others to help stop the spread of the virus.
This includes allowing box stores to operate at half capacity.
"These necessary measures are being taken to limit community transmission of COVID-19 in order to keep schools open, safeguard health system capacity, and protect the province's most vulnerable populations," Hilkene wrote in an email Tuesday.
"To be clear, moving regions into a lockdown is not a measure this government takes lightly. However, as we have seen around the world, lockdowns are a difficult but necessary step to stop the spread, safeguard the key services we rely on and protect our health system capacity."
She noted that the Ontario government is now providing $600 million in relief to support eligible businesses required to close or significantly restrict services due to enhanced public health measures.

OTTAWA — Nikolaj Ehlers scored in overtime as the Winnipeg Jets twice rallied from a two-goal deficit en route to a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. Ehlers scored at 2:20 of overtime, moments after Winnipeg goalie Laurent Brossoit made a nice stop on Ottawa's Drake Batherson in the extra period. Josh Morrissey's goal with 1:17 remaining in regulation forced overtime. It came with Brossoit on the bench for the extra attacker. Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor had the other goals for Winnipeg (2-1-0), which was outshot 41-28 in the contest. The Jets were coming off a 3-1 road loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Josh Norris, Chris Tierney and Alex Galchenyuk scored for Ottawa (1-1-1). It's the first of three games in five days between the two clubs. They'll square off again in the nation's capital Thursday night before returning to Winnipeg on Saturday. Winnipeg was minus forward Patrik Laine (upper-body injury) for a second straight game. He's listed as day to day with this contest being the first of five for the Jets in the next seven nights. Rookie forward Tim Stutzel, who's dealing with a nagging minor injury, didn't play for Ottawa. The third overall selection in the 2020 NHL draft, who has a goal through two games with the Senators, is also considered day to day. Ottawa dominated the first period, outshooting Winnipeg 18-9, and was rewarded with the opening two goals of the contest. Norris opened the scoring on the power play at 4:41 of the first. He registered his first NHL goal when he slid the puck in off the skate of Brossoit, who got the start after Connor Hellebuyck played Monday night. Conner came close to putting Winnipeg on the scoresheet when he fired a shot off the goalpost on the power play. But Tierney put Ottawa ahead 2-0 with a deflection at 10:31 for his second goal of the season. Lowry pulled Winnipeg to within 2-1 at 18:09. He deflected Neal Pionk's shot from the point past Matt Murray -- making his third straight start in goal for Ottawa -- for his first of the year. It was more of the same in the second as Ottawa outshot Winnipeg 14-8 in the period and went back ahead by two goals at 11:47 of the second on Galchenyuk's power-play blast. It was his first of the season but Winnipeg countered with Connor's goal with the man advantage at 16:12. It was Connor's third of the season. He's scored in all three Jets games in 2021. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan 19. 2021. The Canadian Press
Sask. premier considers possibility of indefinite closure for businesses that flout health orders
Saskatchewan is not implementing new restrictions to tame the spread of COVID-19, but businesses that don't comply with public health orders could soon be facing closures. Premier Scott Moe says it is time to take action against those breaking the law. "We don't need to punish all of those that are following the public health orders, but to those establishments and even all those people who are flagrantly operating outside of what the public health orders are, they do need to be punished," Moe said during the province's COVID-19 update on Tuesday. His comments came days after a video circulated on social media of young adults dancing, singing and mingling with patrons from other tables at the Tap Brewhouse in Regina. Some weren't wearing masks. The premier called the video concerning, especially when he has a petition sitting on his desk with 10,000 signatures from adults asking the province to allow their kids to play sports. "At the very same time we have these parents asking for their children to participate in a sport like hockey, we see a video of a number of adults that are selfishly and drunkenly dancing around a restaurant or bar right here in Regina," Moe said. He said he's asked public health if there are other options, in addition to fines, that could include "closing these bad actors indefinitely to ensure that we are having compliance in our communities." That would allow the opportunity for the businesses that are following public health orders to stay open and operate safely, he said. "Enough is enough," Moe said in regards to people breaking orders. "We have kids in community after community in this province that are making the sacrifice. It's time as adults we start making the same sacrifice." No more restrictions at this time Dr. Saqib Shahab, the province's chief medical health officer, said if the public universally follows public health orders, Saskatchewan should see cases start to drop next week. "We continue to be stuck in this 300 [new cases a day] range," Shahab said during Tuesday's press conference. "We want to be heading below 250, 200, below 150 cases." The province reported 309 new cases, and six more deaths from COVID-19, on Tuesday. Moe and Shahab have said repeatedly that if cases continue to trend upwards, new restrictions will be implemented — but that likely won't happen until after Jan. 29, when the province's current health order is set to expire. Shahab says he has been meeting regularly with the provincial Minister of Health Paul Merriman to determine what measures would be implemented next. Eye on hospitalizations While the government didn't provide a threshold of what would trigger more enforcement, both the premier and Shahab said they are watching the rate of hospitalizations. As of Tuesday, 207 people with COVID-19 are hospitalized in Saskatchewan, 31 of whom are in intensive care. "That has been the limiting factor that your hospitals just can't keep up, and you have to make a decision of who gets treatment and who doesn't. That's a point of no return when you have to bring down the hammer to save the health system," Shahab said. "We may not be there yet, but that hammer is a very blunt instrument. It causes many unintended consequences. It's not the preferred instrument but when the health-care system is on the brink of collapse, then unfortunately those desperate measures have to be taken as well."
WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly riot at the Capitol, saying the mob was "fed lies" and that the president and others "provoked" those intent on overturning Democrat Joe Biden's election. Ahead of Trump's historic second impeachment trial, McConnell's remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing president. The GOP leader is setting a tone as Republicans weigh whether to convict Trump on the impeachment charge that will soon be sent over from the House: "incitement of insurrection." "The mob was fed lies," McConnell said. "They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like." The Republican leader vowed a "safe and successful" inauguration of Biden on Wednesday at the Capitol, where final preparations were underway amid heavy security. Trump's last full day in office Tuesday was also senators' first day back since the deadly Capitol siege and since the House voted to impeach him for his role in the riots — an unparalleled time of transition as the Senate prepares for the second impeachment trial in two years and presses ahead with the confirmation of Biden's Cabinet. Three new Democratic senators-elect are set to be sworn into office Wednesday shortly after Biden's inauguration, giving the Democrats the barest majority, a 50-50 Senate chamber. The new vice-president, Kamala Harris, will swear them in and serve as an eventual tie-breaking vote. The Democrats, led by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, will take charge of the Senate as they launch a trial to hold the defeated president responsible for the siege, while also quickly confirming Biden's Cabinet and being asked to consider passage of a sweeping new $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. "The inauguration of a new president and the start of a new administration always brings a flurry of activity to our nation's government," Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday morning. "But rarely has so much piled up for the Senate as during this particular transition." Making the case for Trump's conviction, Schumer said the Senate needs to set a precedent that the "severest offence ever committed by a president would be met by the severest remedy provided by the Constitution — impeachment," and disbarment from future office. McConnell and Schumer conferred later Tuesday about how to balance the trial with other business and how to organize the evenly divided chamber, a process that could slow all of the Senate's business and delay the impeachment proceedings. There were signs of an early impasse. McConnell expressed to Schumer "his long-held view that the crucial, longstanding, and bipartisan Senate rules concerning the legislative filibuster remain intact, specifically during the power share for the next two years," according to spokesman Doug Andres. Eliminating the Senate filibuster, a procedural move that requires a higher bar for legislation to pass, has been a priority for Democrats who will now control the House, Senate and White House. But a spokesman for Schumer, Justin Goodman, said the Democratic leader "expressed that the fairest, most reasonable and easiest path forward" was to adopt an agreement similar to a 2001 consensus between the parties, the last time the Senate was evenly divided, without "extraneous changes from either side." Five of Biden's nominees had committee hearings Tuesday as the Senate prepared for swift confirmation of some as soon as the president-elect takes office, as is often done particularly for the White House's national security team. Many noted the harrowing events at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, testified of her own "eerie" feeling coming to the Capitol complex after "how truly disturbing it was" to see the attack on the building unfold. Biden's nominee for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, vowed to get to the bottom of the "horrifying" siege. The start of the new session of Congress was also forcing lawmakers to come to terms with the post-Trump era, a transfer of power that Trump's mob of supporters tried to prevent after he urged them to storm the Capitol as Congress was tallying the Electoral College vote confirming Biden's election. Seven Republican senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tried to overturn Biden's election during the Electoral College tally. Cruz was presiding over the Senate Tuesday while McConnell delivered his blistering remarks. Hawley continued to embrace his role in the opposition, saying on Tuesday that he will block a quick confirmation of Mayorkas, the Homeland Security nominee, to protest Biden's immigration plan to provide a path to citizenship for 11 million people. Hawley said Mayorkas "has not adequately explained how he will enforce federal law and secure the southern border." As they begin the year newly in the minority, Republican senators face a daunting choice of whether to convict Trump of inciting the insurrection, the first impeachment trial of a president no longer in office — but one who continues to hold great sway over the party's voters. Some Republicans want to halt the impeachment trial. Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn was among those Republicans casting doubt on the legal ability of the Senate to convict a president no longer in office, though legal scholars differ on the issue. "It's never happened before and maybe that's for a good reason," he said. The House impeached Trump last week on the sole charge, incitement of insurrection, making him the only president to be twice impeached. A protester died during the riot and a police officer died later of injuries; three other people involved died of medical emergencies. He was first impeached in 2019 over relations with Ukraine and was acquitted in 2020 by the Senate. The three new Democratic senators, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia, and Alex Padilla of California, are to be sworn into office Wednesday, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss planning. Warnock and Ossoff defeated Republican incumbents in this month's runoff elections. Georgia's secretary of state certified the election results Tuesday. Padilla was tapped by California's governor to fill the remainder of Harris' Senate term. ___ Associated Press writer Eric Tucker contributed to this report.

Behind a franchise record six-year, $150-million US contract, the Toronto Blue Jays reportedly landed outfielder George Springer in free agency on Tuesday. The Blue Jays confirmed the deal was for six years, pending a physical, when reached for comment by The Canadian Press. No further details were provided. The deal for the 2017 World Series MVP and three-time all-star blows by the Blue Jays' previous high, the seven-year,-$126 million re-signing of Vernon Wells in 2006. Springer, 31, debuted in 2014 with the Houston Astros — the only team he's ever known. Over 52 games in 2020, Springer hit 14 home runs while adding 32 runs batted in. ESPN was first to confirm the two sides are in agreement on a deal, while adding Springer was heading to Toronto's spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla., for the physical. MLB Network was first to report the deal to be worth $150 million. Springer was considered one of the premier players available after declining his qualifying offer from the Astros in October to become a free agent. The New York Mets and Blue Jays were reportedly the two frontrunners for Springer, with his name being linked to both clubs for weeks. Post-season experience The centre-fielder was named an all-star for the first time in 2017, and went on to become World Series MVP that season when Houston beat the L.A. Dodgers in seven games for a championship, now tainted by the Astros sign-stealing scandal that became public in 2019, and confirmed by MLB in January 2020. He was also named an all-star in 2018 and '19, and took home the American League Silver Slugger Award in both seasons. Springer brings Toronto plenty of playoff experience after reaching the AL Championship Series four seasons in a row, falling just one win shy in 2020 from reaching the World Series for the third time in four campaigns. Springer, from New Britain, Conn., was selected by Houston 11th overall in 2011. He has 174 home runs and 458 RBI, with a .270/.361/.491 slash line in his career. The Blue Jays have an emerging young core and are able to add at least one major contract before their younger players like Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earn a lot more. Toronto has been linked to most of the top free agents, but now have the one they wanted most. The upstart Blue Jays went 32-28 during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, finishing third in the AL East behind Tampa Bay and the New York Yankees and qualifying for the expanded post-season. They were swept by the AL champion Rays in a three-game wild-card series. Jays also land Yates Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are hoping they have acquired the 2019 version of Kirby Yates. Yates, 33, reportedly signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays earlier Tuesday, pending a physical. The deal is reported to be worth $5.5 million US, with further incentives. Toronto lost closer Ken Giles for the upcoming season after he had Tommy John surgery on Sept. 30. Giles saved 23 games in 2019 and had expressed a desire to stay in Toronto even though he was slated to become a free agent this off-season. The former San Diego closer, Yates led the major leagues in saves in 2019 before struggling to open last season and requiring surgery to remove bone chips in his right (throwing) elbow last August. Six different pitchers, including Giles, recorded saves for Toronto last season, led by Anthony Bass (seven) and Rafael Dolis (five). Canadian-born Jordan Romano also flourished out of the bullpen with two saves and set a pair of club records for innings (8.2) and batters faced (29) without allowing a hit to start the season. But Yates, who sported a 1.19 earned-run average, 41 saves and 101 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings two years ago with the Padres, possesses huge comeback potential.

According to Shanaka Jayanath Peiris, International Monetary Fund's Country Representative in the Philippines, the country's first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 6.9% coincides with their target to achieve a full-year growth of 6%. The recent growth figure is also higher than the 5% GDP growth rate recorded during the same period of last year.
Election-related spending and strong domestic consumption are seen to fuel this growth which is also within the government's projections of 6.8-7.8% for this year. The bulk of the growth was driven by the service sector at 7.9% and represented 56.8% of the economy. In addition to that, an 8.7% surge was posted by the industrial sector which collectively buoyed the economy, despite the 4.4% slowdown in the agricultural sector. Other key factors that reinforced the growth are the 25.6% surge in investment spending, as well as the 7% increase household consumption during the first three months of the year.
Even with the external risks from the continuous economic slowdown in China, and weakness in oil prices, IMF reported in its April issue of the World Economic Outlook that it is keeping its full-year growth projections for the Philippines, which is 6% for 2016, and 6.2% next year.
The IMF official noted that the rates are adjusted in line with the IMF's targets. Also, it is expected that the Philippines will pick up the growth pace from the slow 5.8% in 2015, and become one of Asia's better performers.
