Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.
"Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilly [sic] has, I think, 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years," Obama said.
Obama mispronounced Wasilla, the town where Palin was mayor. You know, he doesn't like small towns.
He also refused to acknowledge she is governor of Alaska, a state that had a $9B budget surplus this year, and has over 24,000 employees scattered over the largest state in the Union.

Layoffs on Wall Street surged in January to the highest monthly level seen since September of 2018, while new hiring dipped sharply following a strong December gain reflecting an overall weak outlook as bank executives continue to trim expenses through the use of automation.
According to the January Challenger, Gray & Christmas monthly Job Cuts Report released last week, the financial services industry saw planned layoffs surge 399% to 4,230 layoffs from 848 layoffs announced in December. The January layoff total marks the highest layoff level seen since September of 2018 when 27,343 layoffs were announced. The January layoff figure also represents a 564% rise from the 637 layoffs reported during January of last year.
New hiring in January dipped sharply as financial services firms announced 520 new jobs were available compared to the unusually high level of 1,436 new jobs announced in December. The December new jobs total was the highest monthly total since the 6,500 new jobs announced in January 2018.
As you can see from the above chart, net employment (new hiring less layoffs) dropped sharply in January (-3,710 jobs) following a month when net employment actually grew (+588 jobs). This weak jobs performance is consistent with the fragile employment outlook we saw in the industry for most of 2018. Net employment only rose in two months during 2018 – in January and December. This decrease in net employment during January suggests that uncertain market conditions have prompted many investment banks to continue "right sizing" their workforces.
Last month, Boston-based State Street Corp announced that it was cutting 1,500 jobs or 15% of its senior management ranks, in a move to cut costs. Ronald O'Hanley, who took over as CEO of the money-management and custody-bank last month, is pushing to reduce expenses, automate more functions, and simplify the organizational structure.
Blackrock, the world's largest asset manager, also announced last month that it would dismiss 3% of its workforce or approximately 500 employees marking the largest headcount reduction for the asset manager since 2016. This move came after Blackrock reported 3rd Qtr earnings in October, which revealed that long term asset inflows were at the lowest point since 2016.
The rise in layoffs and drop in new hiring data in January points to a fragile employment picture for Wall Street firms, as many financial industry executives continue to try to drive efficiency and lower costs given a mixed outlook for earnings.
As far as the research business goes, we suspect most investment banks and independent research firms will continue to fill open positions, particularly in high demand sectors including technology and healthcare. However, we doubt most firms will try to grow the number of analysts or salespeople on staff, particularly given the negative impact that MiFID II has had on the sell-side and independent research businesses.

Venezuelans use bitcoin 'mining' to escape inflation
by Alex VASQUEZ/AFP
Inside a locked room in an office building in Caracas, 20 humming computers use their data-crunching power to mine bitcoins, an increasingly popular tool in the fight against Venezuela's hyperinflation.
In warehouses, offices and homes, miners are using modified computers to perform complex computations, essentially book-keeping for digital transactions worldwide, for which they earn a commission in bitcoins.
While practiced worldwide, Bitcoin mining is part of a growing, underground effort in Venezuela to escape the worst effects of a crippling economic and political crisis and runaway inflation that the IMF says could reach 720 percent this year.
Having no confidence in the bolivar and struggling to find dollars, many Venezuelans, who are neither computer geeks nor financial wizards, are relying on the bitcoin — currently valued around $6,050, or other virtual currencies.
Caracas office worker Veronica says her boss installed the 20 machines in early 2015.
"These are machines that bring in $800 a month (more than 26 million bolivars)," says Veronica, who refused to give her full name because of fears of arrest.
Bitcoin mining consultant Randy Brito estimates that about 100,000 Venezuelans are "mining," although it is impossible to have an exact figure because many are protecting themselves by using servers in foreign countries.
Brito said the boom in these virtual transactions began in 2014, when Venezuela's economic crisis intensified as a result of the collapse in the price of oil, which accounts for 96 percent of the country's revenue.
"Whoever buys bitcoins with bolivars earns money by increasing the price of the bitcoin against the dollar, and escapes inflation," Brito told AFP.
– Not without risk –
Venezuela is something of a mining hotspot because the electricity needed to run the power-hungry computers is so heavily subsidized as to be almost free.
Thus "it is very profitable to 'produce' bitcoins," said economist Asdrubal Oliveros.
Tempted by the money made by her boss, Veronica has taken the plunge at home, buying a machine for $2,280 online from China.
"A friend took another and a boy I know bought 20," said Veronica. "People are buying machines like crazy."
They set the machines up in another woman's house, as many miners do to spread the power consumption and avoid attracting the attention of the state intelligence service Sebin, whose agents regularly raid buildings when they notice a suspicious surge.
"If they find machines, they arrest the owners or they try to extort money," said Veronica. "In electricity, we spend barely 15,000 bolivars a month (less than 50 cents at the black market rate)."
Lawyer Jesus Ollarves said that while bitcoin mining is legal in Venezuela, which does not have cryptocurrency laws, "those who practice it are often liable to arrest by the police for energy theft."
According to the LocalBitcoins portal, transactions in bitcoins amounted to $1.1 million in Venezuela in the last week of September.
Commissions, paid in bitcoin, help buy food and medicine that are currently in acutely short supply because of the crisis, said Eugenia Alcala, founder of Dash Caracas, which provides courses in cryptocurrency mining.
Description of how bitcoins function
Veronica said her machine is producing 20 to 25 Litecoins — another virtual currency — per month.
"Each Litecoin is worth $46, that's $920 a month," said Veronica — a fortune in a country where the minimum monthly salary is 135,543 bolivars ($40), supplemented by a voucher of 189,000 bolivars ($56).

Time to organise medical tourism ecosystem : Ravi Virmani, MD & Founder, Credihealth
One of the biggest hurdles that medical tourism in India currently faces is a dearth of accurate medico-legal information.ETHealthWorld | Updated: July 26, 2017, 16:11 IST
By Ravi Virmani
MD & Founder, Credihealth
Rezwan, an Afghan national, recently came to New Delhi with his sister, who was ailing from a severe orthopaedic condition. On their very first visit to a doctor in South Delhi, they ended up paying Rs. 85,000 for tests. The doctor then suggested surgery which would cost Rs. 5 lakhs, excluding his fees. Adding to this was the commission of the translator/middlemen, cost of accommodation, transport, etc., which ended up increasing the total cost for them by about 50-60%.
Cases like that of Rezwan and his sister are regrettably common in India, where there is an almost negligible support to medical tourists from the government.
Our country have world class doctors, equipment, and the finest quality of healthcare at a fraction of cost compared to other countries. Despite all of these, the country's medical tourism practices are riddled with organisational flaws and rampant misguiding middle men. These factors undermine its reputation as a provider of high quality and affordable healthcare to foreign patients.
Moreover, there is direct competition from countries like Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea, where the reduced cost of healthcare is attracting a high number of medical tourists.
Challenges faced by the Indian medical tourism industry
One of the biggest hurdles that medical tourism in India currently faces is a dearth of accurate medico-legal information. With no proper advisory when the visa is granted, medical tourists are often unaware of the applicable laws for different procedures. For example, organ transplants are prohibited for foreigners in India, unless the donor and recipient have an immediate relationship. Problems also often arise with the transfer of money. As hospitals are not allowed to accept payments in foreign currency, patients must convert their money into the Indian rupee. They are therefore forced to carry cash, which is in violation of law. This lack of information and guidance often complicates the legal and administrative hassles facing international patients.
Fragmentation is another major challenge that medical tourists to India face. Often, patients coming into the country do not have a medical visa. There is no special information centre or immigrations facility at the airport to connect them with a hospital or to provide them with the necessary assistance. The patient is therefore forced to get help from a tout or a middleman. While authorised agencies and their agents do exist to provide essential intermediary services, most middlemen are unauthorised and are only looking to exploit international patients. These touts quote inflated prices for a treatment or operation which the patient is forced to pay, owing to a lack of information and the language barrier. Patients duped by middlemen have no legal recourse or insurance coverage available to them, either.
The need for a more organised medical tourism ecosystem
Amidst the growing influx of medical tourists coming to India, the need for a standardised policy framework is urgent. The Government of India must closely regulate, in conjunction with accreditation bodies like National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), the activities of hospitals that treat foreign patients. Moreover, since the NABH is not directly involved in medical tourism, the creation of a separate national regulatory body can also be implemented. This entity can monitor activities in this segment and provide assistance to foreign patients and their families in order to protect them from unethical practices.
FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in the healthcare sector must additionally be promoted, along with a push for more conducive fiscal policies that help international patients avail low-interest loans and reduce import/excise duty on medical equipment.
The Indian medical tourism industry is currently estimated to be worth $3 billion per annum, with about 2.3 lakh tourist arrivals each year. It is expected to reach $6 billion by 2018, while the number of people coming to the country for medical treatment is expected to double over the next four years. There has already been a 22 to 25 percent rise seen in medical tourism during 2016 over the previous year.
Keeping in mind the lack of national regulatory body for this industry, significant pace of growth in the industry, rampant and unchecked unethical practices; various Healthcare medical delivery services have risen in the market. These Healthcare delivery companies are striving hard to give a new face to the Medical Tourism industry in the country.
It has also become imperative for the government to support these Healthcare firms for regulating the sector and eliminate unethical medical practices. This will ensure that the medical tourism sector in the country continues on its robust growth trajectory and achieves its true potential. This industry, if regulated and organized, will not only enhance the image of the country but will significantly improve the revenues earned from overseas.

MARBLE : Affordability Opens Door for Regal Decor in O.C. Homes
DENNIS McLELLANTIMES STAFF WRITER
When Karen and Dennis Galloway decided to sell their "average" tract house in Laguna Niguel and build their dream home in a nearby gated community, there was one custom design feature they insisted on having: marble.
Built a year ago, the Galloways' 4,600-square-foot two-story Mediterranean-style house boasts a marble entryway, five marble-faced fireplaces and--the piece de resistance-- a spectacular gray and white marble bathroom complete with its own marble fireplace.
"I said, 'When I build the house, I'm going to have (marble) throughout,' " said Karen Galloway. "I love it. Certainly, I wasn't exposed to marble when I was growing up, but when you've traveled and seen beautiful homes and things, it's just expected."
She rhapsodized: "Marble is like a jewel, and it sets the room off. I always considered it like a quality accessory. A woman has a beautiful black dress on, but she accessorizes it with jewels. That, to me, is what marble does to my living room."
Stone formed as many as 2 billion years ago when heat and pressure in the earth's crust caused limestone to undergo changes in its makeup and texture, marble is the stuff that multimillion-dollar dream homes are made of.
Hearst Castle, William Randolph Hearst's baronial estate on a hill above San Simeon, just wouldn't be the same without its oval-shaped Neptune Pool lined with slabs of white and verd-antique marble laid in an intricate pattern.
More recently, New York hotel queen Leona Helmsley and husband Harry paid a cool $1 million for an all-marble dance floor in their 28-room Greenwich mansion, which has been dubbed a "Connecticut Taj Mahal."
But while marble is still associated with the life styles of the rich and famous, it has become much more democratic in recent years because of lower prices and increased availability.
In Orange County, as in other parts of the country, marble has become the upscale decorator item of choice for entry halls, living rooms and bathrooms.
And it's just as likely to be found in a tract house in Mission Viejo as a waterfront home in Newport Beach. (One Garden Grove woman is having 2,000 square feet of marble put in her 6,000-square-foot home--and that doesn't include the marble-faced waterfall in the entry.)
"We use a tremendous amount of marble," said Carol McMahon of Veldhuis-McMahon Interior Design in Dana Point. "It used to be strictly in custom homes, but as tract homes in Orange County get more and more expensive, tract home builders just want to show that they can compete with custom homes and use some of the same products, and that would include marble."
Added McMahon, who designs interiors for many custom homes in South Orange County and traces the dramatic increase in demand for marble over the past five years: "I think people are getting back to timeless beauty and elegance in their homes, and marble gives you that. It's nothing trendy. It's like using silk in fabric. It's a natural product. It's beautiful. It's timeless. It's God-made."
That's not to say keeping up with the Joneses is not also a factor in the growing popularity of marble in home decor.
"Marble carries an image," said Fullerton designer Jason Titus. "It's the same image that fosters the BMW and Mercedes-Benz. It's the image of: 'I have made it. I can afford it.' I'm sure that's primarily why people like it because it carries that image too.
"It's a mixed bag: It's an image of history and affluence or wealth. We can substitute 'tradition' for history too."
Kathleen Colarusso, a sales representative for Globe Marble and Tile Inc. in Anaheim, said the market for marble "has increased about a thousandfold--I'm not even exaggerating--in the past year and a half."
In the past, Colarusso said, "People thought marble was much too expensive. Granted, it used to be simply because the quarries were still hand-cutting. They still are, to an extent, but technology has picked up (where) they're now using diamond-cut blades with a high-pressure water-jet system, which cuts like a laser and gives a much cleaner cut." Experiments with cutting marble with lasers also are being made, she said.
The result: Retail marble prices as low as $7 per square foot.
"An average homeowner can now afford to put that in their entry," said Colarusso, adding that, depending on its rarity, the top end is about $40 per square foot. One of the most expensive, "sky blue" marble, which is mined only in Brazil, costs $42 per square foot.
(Marble slabs, used to fabricate furniture and showers, range from $25 to $70 per square foot for material and fabrication.)
While many people think only of white statues when marble comes to mind, Colarusso said, the color variations of marble "are just as big as nature"--everything from jade green to Italian rose. Globe Marble and Tile, which claims to be the largest importer of marble and granite in the nation, carries 136 different kinds of marble and about the same amount of granite, which sells for $12 to $80 per square foot.
It is the natural beauty of marble's streaked or mottled look that appeals to homeowners, according to Colarusso. (Marble, she said, is always 20 degrees colder than the air around it: "That's how you can tell fake from real: You touch it, it's cold.")
Marble is most commonly installed in entryways, living rooms and bathrooms and around fireplaces, but designers say it can be misused. Titus, for one, does not recommend using marble in the kitchen--either on the floor or on countertops.
"I think they're asking for trouble," he said, explaining that the acid in vinegar, lemon juice, wine and tomato juice "will just eat marble." He said one of his clients, who put marble on the kitchen floor "over my objection," spilled a bottle of vinegar, and the vinegar etched the surface off the floor.
While protective finishes are available, Titus said acidic liquids also will eat away the finish. And if the finish is on a countertop surface that gets daily use, "just the normal wear and tear of wiping it" will wear it off, he said.
Granite, which is harder than marble and will not stain, has become increasingly popular for kitchen countertops and bar tops.
"The nice thing about granite is granite can look contemporary for a contemporary kitchen or traditional for traditional kitchen," Titus said. "It depends on the color and also the way the edges are handled."
Although many homeowners mix varieties of marble, doing so risks becoming what designer McMahon calls "a hodgepodge."
"You really have to blend them well," she said.
"If it's done well, it can be effective," Titus agreed. "There are floors in Italy or France that have 10 or 12 different colors of marble in them. It's like anything: If an amateur does it, it might not come off because they don't know what they're doing."
Marble sets a tone, Titus said, that "can be as dressy as the marble is or as casual as the marble is. It has to do with the graining of it or the color tone. A pink marble or white marble is always going to be dressy because it has a feminine quality and a very French quality. It has an elegant look. A brownish color tends to be more masculine and less dressy."
And despite its upscale image, marble is not too grand for even a simple tract house, Titus said.
"You can use it effectively; it doesn't have to be grand," he said. "And in Europe, of course, in certain areas in certain times, it was a common material. In a sense, marble was as common when it was used then as vinyl tile is today. I mean it carries that ordinariness about it. It's not so expensive a material that it isn't in the reach of anyone in the middle-income area. And it's appropriate in many cases. I mean there's nothing nicer than a marble entryway.
"It's timeless."
Indeed, Costa Mesa interior designer Karen Myers Ziccardi of Interior Design Development, who is currently designing five custom residences--all with marble entryways and granite countertops--sees the current marble mania as more than just another trend.
"There are trends," she said. "However, some trends are classics. The use of marble goes back to the early Greeks and Romans. When you think about it historically, these timeless materials may go through trends in how they're used or what kind of colorization becomes inspiring at the moment, but the material itself is a classic, and anything that is a classic never really is a trend."


Used in connection with the Affordable Care Act: Select a new plan to replace your current plan. Mtana' s new health plan extends coverage to thousands of nationals. Research the new Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare and deliver to President Trump's proposed health reforms. gov) is your source for state-regulated and subsidized health insurance.
Used in conjunction with the Affordable Care Act: Health care that is not a generous health care plan and is therefore covered by all Affordable Care Act reform. A plan in the personal health care business that your loved ones buy for the first want is usually a new plan.
On the group health care business, a plan that your employers offer for the first instance is usually a new plan. Remember that new co-workers and new members of the extended group can be added to your grandfather's group plan - a plan that is "new to you" and your extended group can still be a grandfatherly plan.
Both in the single and in the group market, a plan that looses its Grandfathered character is regarded as a new plan. If a plan makes significant changes to its plan, such as a reduction in benefit levels or an increase in participant participation, it will lose its grandfathered state. The health plan must include in its plan documentation whether it believes it is a generous plan, and must also tell the consumer how to approach the U.S. Department of Labor or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with a question.
President Trump pledged to lower the cost of prescriptive drugs and abolish Obamacare. Even though he has not succeeded in abolishing the Affordable Care Act, he has significantly undermined it. Trump unveiled the plan "American Patients First" on May 4, 2018. It accused everyone, from businesses to the consumer, of higher pharmaceutical-pricing.
It wants to change the discounts that pharmaceutical firms give to store service executives. Negotiating price agreements between pharmaceutical producers, chemists and health insurers. In part, Trump delivered on a campaign-sponsored promise to demand that healthcare service provider publish the price of their service. This would enable humans to buy at the best price.
Competitors would have depressed the price of medicines. This isn't in Trump's plan yet. However, he wants to link the price of drugs in the USA to a lower level internationally. Trump in March 2017 said he would allow Medicare to bargain with pharma firms for lower price of ethical drugs. Manufacturers said they needed this shield to fund research and develop new medicines.
The health insurances are already conducting many negotiations. President Trump undersigned the Law on the Reduction of Taxes and Employment on 22 December 2017. In 2019 it abolishes the Obamacare levy on those who do not have health care health care at all. Eliminates the incentives for healthier individuals to take out health care policies. CBO estimates that 13 million individuals would reduce cover as a consequence.
The health care cost will increase because there will be fewer healthful individuals who will pay bonuses. The health insurances are leaving only the ill humans. The repeal of the mandates means that fewer persons receive preventative care or treatments for long-term illnesses. This will exacerbate health inequalities. Uninsured persons use costly ambulances as a replacement for basic care.
It'?s gonna cost everybody. Trump has taken many measures to debilitate theACA even without abolishing and substituting it. President Trump suspended reimbursement on October 12, 2017, from carriers that had foregone co-payments and excess payments for 6 million low-income clients. It was found in a survey that the subsidies permitted the 3.
Two million humans. As soon as Trump has halted the refunds, the insurers said they need to increase customers' premium by 20 per cent. ACA grants would meet these rises for many individuals. A plan to relax short-term health care rules was suggested by the Board on 20 February 2018. Trump explained in his October 2017 ruling that he wants to run short-term polices for up to a year.
Obama administrative cut them off after 90-day. Current schedules are less expensive, but do not provide so many advantages. Given that these schemes are appealing to young, healthful individuals, the amendment is likely to lead to an increase in bonuses for extensive schemes. The Trump government permitted states to set job standards for Medicaid beneficiaries on 11 January 2018.
Reduce benefit for'inactive' beneficiaries unless they have a workplace, are carers or attend schools. Specifically, the requirements are aimed at the small proportion of people without children who are alone and to whom the BCA applies extended services. Administrations encourage states to make renunciations that make other changes to Medicaid. A number of people want to restrict the receivers of times and can obtain services.
Some want compulsory tests on drugs. President Trump on 12 October 2017 autographed an order amending five points of Obamacare. At first, the order instructed the Minister of Labour to increase public health coverage of the Association's health care programmes. This mandate extended the kinds of groups that these health insurers can have. This would allow those in the health care agendas of the associations to buy policy in other countries.
This order met a pledge made in the course of a public health campaigns to allow health insurers to resell health care products across state borders. This makes it costly for domestic insurers to be active in different countries. This means that five enterprises serve half of the covered people. Greater effective market conditions should help to diminish their monopolistic position and lower cost.
Large enterprises are the only ones with the necessary power to act across national borders under existing policies. When it becomes even simpler for them to do so, they would increase it. They would be exempted by the government from the Affordable Care Act regulations and state licences. Consequently, the schemes would not have to provide the 10 main advantages of the ACC.
Those blueprints could look the way they did in the early '90s. with $123 million in unsettled debts. Once this regulation comes into force, it could discourage them from taking out insurances on the stock markets. You would turn to the cheaper federation blueprints, even if they have fewer advantages.
Those ACA-compliant schemes would stick to the sick population. That is like asking motor insurers to insulate only those who have been in motor vehicle crashes. As a result, insurers would be forced to increase interest or leave the stock markets. This contract could also concern those who have projects funded by the firm. It allows an employer to select a cover plan from each country.
This did not play a role when the FCA obliged all schemes to provide the same services. However, bosses could join the new schemes with fewer services because they are less expensive. Secondly, Trump's Execution Order calls on the Labour Minister to relax constraints on short-term health care schemes. But Trump wants them to last up to 12 month.
By October 2018, the government permitted ACA grants to be used to purchase such schemes. Countries must submit a "1332 waiver" showing that individuals still have at least one universal health care system available. Doing so will reduce the cover provided by most individuals who are interested in the cheapest schemes.
Third ly, the Regulation requires the Minister of Labour to allow the employer to use input tax dollar for "health care refund agreements". During Obamacare, the laborers could only afford to maintain a health policy that complied with their regulations. Fifth, the contract commissioned a survey to find ways to mitigate the effects of financial market stagnation in the health care industry. Fifth, it instructs the authorities to find extra resources to enhance competitiveness and health care choices.
The Trump Board on 7 July 2018 said it would defer at least $10.4 billion in "risk adjustments " to policyholders. For example, this may be the case for health care providers located in countries with a higher percentage of older people. In the absence of the grant, the Insurer will increase the tariffs. Authorities responded to a judicial ruling that said the settlement was incorrect.
heralded a cross-party agreement to rescue Obamacare after Trump halted reimbursement of insurances that did not cost money to those on low incomes. She tried to recover $106 million to support the health care stock markets. An insurer could provide disastrous schemes for persons aged 30 and over. Policyholders were needed to pay for Obamacare's 10 core services without increasing rates for those with pre-existing ailments.
Trot Trump asked Congress to draw up a plan to substitute Obamacare. The Trump Board of Directors on 22 September 2017 said it would shut down the health fund markets for 12 consecutive working days on the first open registration date, 1 November 2017. Trump administrators reduced the resources and staff needed to help individuals register.
Still, 8. 7 million people subscribed for cover in the 39 states on the U.S. Bill of Rights. He instructed the Internal Revenue Service to allow passers-by to stop by if they don't get cover. During the first 100 and a half day period, Trump received an order to "discharge" Obamacare.
When you are in good health, Trumps measures could reduce your cost. Firstly, you no longer have to foot the fine under the new schedule. Secondly, you can buy a short-term or associative plan that will cost less but will not provide all 10 advantages of AAA. You would then have to buy Obamacare for a much higher rate.
When you have a chronical disease, your expenses go up. You have to trust the stock market's plan for AKA. By abandoning these schemes, sound clients will be able to push up pricing to stay viable. As a result, in May 2018 the health insurance providers of Maryland demanded an annual premium hike of 30 per cent.
Health care spending at home will increase more rapidly than under Omamacare. As a result of the changes in the asset allocation, annual expenses increased by around 5 per cent. Between 2000 and 2004, health care expenditure increased by 7 per cent each year. Baramacare was helping more individuals to get cost-effective preventative care before they needed costly emergencies.
Trump's plan could also raise the debts. The rising insurances charges also raise the subsidy charges. Increasing ACA's business led to many new clients for the healthcare sector. That' s why they reject some of Trump's schemes. There are certain grounds on which groups of hospitals reject Trumps' plan. You don't want your E.R. expenses to go up.
You recognize that this would occur once the preventative care under the extended Medicaid is retracted. America's Health Insurances Plans, the health care coverage advocacy group, resists any reduction in Medicaid funding. There would be complaints from business against any plan they don't uphold. Insurers would not cover the ill unless the governments required that the ill be insured.
Trump has in the past referred to the following two concepts, but they are not in any actual planning. Maintain your Medicare and social security coverage in place. Such services are part of the compulsory budgeting. These have been prepared by previous Congressional documents and cannot be modified by a Chairman. This would not resolve the issue of increasing health care outlays.
Deliver a single plan that is universally market-based. Initially, Trump wanted to propose a number of options similar to the health care program of federal employees. This is what Obama's initial health care plan said.

We have been told for decades that counting calories is the only way to lose weight, gain muscle and reduce fat, but the dinner tables have turned. While calories are still very important, smart athletes know that they should focus on the quality of their calories more than the quantity of them—here's why.
Focus on Quality, Not Counting

Is it possible to reach our health and fitness goals when we stop counting calories? The American Council on Exercise says, "counting calories is tedious, time-consuming and a sure-fire way to never enjoy eating." This has come as a breath of fresh air to those struggling and stressed with all the food calculations. Many nutritionists have emphasized simply writing down healthy meals in food journals tracking quality food intake in lieu of every gram, ounce or calorie. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Heather Mangieri, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN explains a calorie-controlled diet is not be best way to achieve health and often is void of essential nutrients.
Focus on food quality and portion size, and don't stress about numbers.

Tracking what you eat is a beneficial way to record eating habit patterns, but a waste of time when you count calories. The focus is now on quality real food selection first over counting calories. Eating 100 calories of sugar is going to have a different effect on your body than 100 calories of vegetables. The American Council on Exercise questions the continuance of the flawed idea of calorie counting when eating for health is all about quality food.
Just Eat Healthy for Success

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the best diet comes from quality food. Research is recognizing the relevance of calories but indicates the strongest evidence to attaining optimal weight and health is when the focus is on food quality. The Harvard department of nutrition conducted a study including 120,000 healthy men and women over a 20-year period to debunk the theory "a calorie is a calorie." Weight gain occurring during this time was attributed to participants eating potato chips, processed foods, fatty meats and drinking soda. Weight loss was reported in the subjects who consumed vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and yogurt.
Researchers also implied one-size-fits-all diets don't exist due to differing genetics and lifestyles. However, individuals can follow the Harvard School of Public Health Healthy Eating Plate for successful planning. The "Healthy Eating Plate" focuses on food quality and divides plated food portions into ½ vegetable, ¼ whole grains, and ¼ lean meat.
How Eating a Better Diet Can Keep You Healthy
Nutrients Over Numbers

When our focus is on nutrient-dense foods in proper portion size, the need to count calories is really unimportant. You've heard the famous quote "nobody ever got fat eating too much kale," and this is the point of the research. Kale, just like other quality foods, is full of essential nutrients but lower in calories. Eating right promotes a healthy lifestyle, enables us to maintain a healthy weight, improves athletic performance, enhances body functioning, and reduces our risk of illness. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics concludes that it's the food we put in our body that matters, proving diets don't work and counting calories isn't the success of our health and fitness.
Healthy Food Plate Recommendations:
1. Vegetables and Fruit: Comprises 50% of the meal. Fill ½ your plate with lots of colors, texture, and variety like spinach, kale, broccoli, peppers and squash for example.
2. Whole Grains: Makes up ¼ of your plate. Enjoy whole grains like quinoa, brown rice or barley. These foods are high in fiber and great complex carbohydrates.
3. Lean Protein: The remaining ¼ of the plate is reserved for lean protein. Enjoy your favorite fish, chicken breast, tofu or beans.
4. Finally, drink plenty of water and stay active as part of a healthy lifestyle!

Faire #38: A debate - Jan van Toorn, Wim Crouwel (Special Issue)
Publisher: Editions Empire, 2022. ISBN: 9791095991298. Format: Softcover, 110 x 180mm, 250pp.
We are told that the hall of the Fodor Museum in Amsterdam, where the scene takes place on this evening of November 9th 1972, was "smoky, noisy and crowded", and that the gathered audience made its presence felt through "frequent shouting". The center of this fevered arena hosted the encounter between two graphic designers, two graphistes, two typographers, Wim Crouwel and Jan Van Toorn, in a country where their voices carry weight, where their thinking is important. A meeting, a conversation, or rather a confrontation, a controversy; it has also been described as a debate, one that characterizes the representations of our discipline in the 1980s and that continues to echo today.


On 25 September 2008 the United States Senate voted to give its advice and consent to ratification of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.
The United States now joins 121 other nations in becoming a party to this treaty which establishes the principles for protecting cultural sites, monuments and collections during both armed conflict and military occupation.
A Statement from the Archaeological Institute of America, the Lawyers' Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation, and the U.S. Committee for the Blue Shield urging Senate ratification, joined by twelve other cultural preservation organizations, is available here and at: http://www.culturalheritagelaw.org/advocacy.

Summer is a season to celebrate the family and Play Golf America encourages everyone to hit the course during Family Golf Month for a healthy and affordable way to spend quality time together. Family Golf Month promotes golf as a fun, family recreation by providing structured, yet casual, opportunities for families to learn the game. Throughout the month of July, PGA and LPGA Professionals at participating facilities nationwide offer reduced or no cost activities for golfers of all ages and skill levels. To find programs in your area, visit PlayGolfAmerica.com.
"Summer is a great time to get involved in the game of golf, because there are so many programs that focus on the benefits that golf has for everyone -- from kids to grandparents," said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. "With so many Family Golf Month events during July and throughout the summer, the game is more accessible and affordable than ever."
Nearly 2,100 facilities are registered to host Family Golf Month events, including Family Golf Clinics and Play Days, Kids Play Free, Bring Your Kids to the Range, Take Your Daughter to the Course Week (July 4-10) and special junior rates, as well as a variety of other events and activities which can be found at PlayGolfAmerica.com. In addition, many facilities offer affordable programs -- some even complimentary -- for the entire family. Family Golf Month events are also being hosted on military golf courses as part of The PGA of America's long-standing relationship with and support of the United States military.
"Golf provides children with life lessons of discipline, honesty, camaraderie, sportsmanship and etiquette, and families can really capitalize on these benefits during Family Golf Month," added Wronowski. "Kids today are spending more time in front of computers and televisions, but Family Golf Month activities provide a great reason to get them out in the fresh air spending uninterrupted time with family."
For more information on Play Golf America and any of the family or junior golf programs, consumers can visit PlayGolfAmerica.com. The site allows users to find and register at participating facilities in their area by searching their city or zip code.

Death of Mrs. J. I. Beech
Mrs. J. I. Beach, whose serious illness has been noted in these columns, died last Sunday morning after a lingering illness from that incurable disease cancer. Last winter, the deceased in company with her husband, went to Rochester, Minn., and consulted with the mayo Bros. After remaining there several weeks, they informed her after watching her case, the most careful examinations, and a minor operation, that they were sorry that they could do nothing for her as the disease had too strong a hold on her weakened system. They returned home and for several months she suffered intensely, being unable to retain the lightest diet. Thru all her suffering she was very patient and never complained knowing that everything had been done to help her but in vain. For several days before the end came she was in an unconscious condition from extreme weakness. The deceased will be missed not only in the family circle but in the entire community.

Russia has lessons for Americans about tearing down statues
The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s featured another kind of downfall: that of the country's many statues honoring Soviet leaders.
Some Russians say the way they've dealt with those statues, and the legacies they reflect, could inform how Americans grapple with the histories behind their own monuments.
It's an iconic moment that signaled the symbolic, if not yet actual, end of the Soviet Union.
August 23, 1991. A crowd of thousands had gathered at Lubyanka Square just opposite the KGB headquarters.
Boris Yeltsin, Russia's future first president, had just rallied the public in a successful — and terrifying — three-day revolt against a coup by Soviet hard-liners against democratic reforms then sweeping the USSR.
Amid the rush of victory, the crowd stared up at a mammoth, 16-ton monument to "Iron Felix" Dzerzhinsky, the founder and patron saint of the Soviet secret police.
Their one shared thought: "Tear — him — down."
https://www.youtube.com/embed/VKxcAfihXtY
"It wasn't just any monument," said Irina Bogantseva, who was part of a group of new, democratically elected officials to the Moscow City Council watching the events unfold that day.
"It was a symbol of Soviet injustice, a symbol of a totalitarian system," she said.
As the crowd grew in numbers — some 20,000 — Moscow's new deputy mayor, Sergei Stankevich, was also called to the square.
"They woke me up with the call," he told The World. "I hadn't slept for three days because of the coup."
Once at Lubyanka, he quickly grew alarmed. Protesters were yanking and pulling on the statue with ropes tied to nearby cars.
As Felix swayed, Stankevich grew worried someone might get crushed. Then, he had another thought: Why don't elected officials hold a vote about what to do?
"The coup plotters had tried to overthrow [Mikhail] Gorbachev, but we were chosen and elected by the people," he said.
Calls were made, faxes were sent, and arguments were had. By early evening, a majority cast votes in favor of removing the monument. Lawmakers even went digging for the original construction plans.
"They showed a metal column went far up from the base into the statute — which meant Felix could only be lifted off his pedestal, not toppled."
Stankevich started making calls to find an industrial crane — eventually convincing a local construction company with a promise he wouldn't divulge their role in bringing down the patron saint of the Soviet KGB.
"No, he wasn't torn down," Stankevich said. "We raised him off his pedestal using two cranes because he was so heavy, you needed two. And so, we lowered him onto a truck bed and took him away."
In other words, what happened next: Felix dangling in the air, a rope around his neck. An image that encapsulated the end of an empire.
It was history shaped by city ordinance — not mob rule.
Felix ultimately ended up in Park Muzeon, a stretch of grassy land nestled along the Moscow River that's become an outdoor museum to discarded statues and busts of Soviet leaders — including the dictator Josef Stalin.
It's a place to reflect on the darker chapters of Soviet life, including Stalin's lethal repressions.
A work that memorializes victims of the gulag prison camps serves as a reminder of both how grim the past has been — and how much the new Russia has changed. At least in theory.
"He means nothing to me, if I'm being honest," said 22-year-old Darya, a recent university graduate, when asked about Dzerzhinsky's monument.
"I don't come to this park for the statues," she said. "Those events were before my time."
But Vera Timofeevna, 80, says she misses seeing Felix back at the old spot.
"We walked by him all through my childhood," she said. "It wasn't political at all."
https://www.youtube.com/embed/BfSMwhxir5Y
"And then those young idiots strung him up and took him away. What can you expect from uneducated people?"
As debate in the US has raged over the removal of Confederate and other monuments that celebrate a racist past, Alexander Verkhovsky has been thinking hard about how Russians confront their own history.
The director of the SOVA Center, an organization that tracks hate crimes and xenophobia in Russia, Verkhovsky notes even Russia's greatest 19th-century writers held serfs — akin to American slaves in the Russian empire.
Literary giants like Lev Tolstoy were often the progressive voices of their day — and still fell short by modern standards.
"They lived in a completely different world," Verkhovsky said. "Monuments are by nature always in the wrong place. Because at some point, they're put up … but time keeps moving forward."
Today, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin still dots the Russian landscape — with statues, streets and squares in his honor so ubiquitous they're mostly ignored.
Even Lenin's Mausoleum on Red Square, where a mummified Lenin still remains, is now mainly a curiosity to tourists, or those seeking a grim (and waxy) laugh.
But polls show Russians growing admiration for Stalin — despite the legacy of the Great Terror that led to an official Soviet, de-Stalinization campaign in the mid-1950s. And then there are Dzerzhinsky's descendants in the security services — once again a powerful force in Vladimir Putin's Russia today.
"In the heads of people who work in the security services, Dzerzhinsky has been mythologized into a symbol of honesty, order and principled values," warned former lawmaker, Bogentseva.
There are occasional calls, she notes, to return Dzerzhinsky back to Lubyanka Square.
Yet, through it all, Iron Felix has remained in the park — a fact that those who helped bring him here say is due to having preserved the monument.
"You can't allow these monuments to be desecrated because it provokes a desire for revenge, to return them back," said the former deputy mayor, Stankevich. "That's the price of desecration."
It's a message Stankevich thinks might prove helpful to Americans as they grapple with what to do about monuments from their own troubled history — deciding not only who deserves a pedestal, but who should be put out to pasture.

Discover a colorful rental property in Dallas designed for Instagram-worthy moments
There are two types of people when it comes to choosing travel accommodation: people who think that a hotel or rental is just a place to sleep, and people who want an exciting experience wherever they want. they stay. This Dallas Airbnb, which opened in mid-March, certainly fits the latter.
The colorful rental, called Stay Love List, is full of bright furniture and custom wallpaper, and there's even a dedicated karaoke (or movie) room. The property can comfortably sleep eight people but has a maximum capacity of 12.
Sarah and Drew Mize, the entrepreneurs behind the media company City Love List LLC, imagined this Airbnb and are part of a group of local investors who own the property. Mizes' media brand is most recognizable for its Dallas Love List social media pages and blog (they have 260,000 followers on Instagram and over 280,000 followers on TikTok). Through their brand, they share recommendations for things to do in Dallas, like which restaurants to visit or which stores to shop.
The couple's goal with the property, Drew Mize said, was to create a fun and colorful space that reflected and extended their growing brand. In particular, they imagined an Instagrammable rental where the "girl gangs" could hang out.

They brought in the Dallas-based Yates Desygn team to infuse the brand's personality into the design of the property. The house has several neon signs, a mural in the garage, and brightly colored furniture and decor. Much of the art throughout the house was taken from the Dallas Love List Instagram page and framed, said Bryan Yates of Yates Desygn.
The rental includes two bedrooms — one with a king bed and another with two queen beds — two bathrooms, a powder room, a karaoke room, an open concept kitchen and living room, a private balcony and a garage for two cars. The main living area has a pink pool table and brightly colored furniture. The karaoke room has a large group of disco balls hanging from the ceiling and a neon sign on the wall.
"It's really just a color lover's dream," said Sarah Mize. "He's ready and ready for all the Instagram likes and TikTok likes and views."
The Stay Love List Property is on the east side of the North Central Freeway near Cityplace. It can be booked through Airbnb. Rates range from $487 to $732 per night.

It was an awesome talk, enjoyed by all. Today people were still busy discussing the information, the size of the sharks, the beautiful photographs and your lovely presentation. You are indeed a great speaker, turning those animals into family friends as if we were there with you.
Thank you so much for supporting our cause. I am quite sure you changed a few more people into shark lovers. Next time we should arrange a talk with our school groups and students if you are willing to fly up again. I sincerely hope you rested well and that your flight was all in order.
We hope to see you soon some time at our Zoo. Enjoy the cape and say hi to all those beautiful sharks.


Patrick Martin Rust died of heart failure Wednesday, August 1 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. He was 58 years old.
Born May 27, 1960, in Columbus, Ind., Pat was the youngest of six children born to Philip C. Rust Jr., and Joan Ellen McAdams. He attended St. Bartholomew Catholic School through the eighth grade and graduated from Columbus North High School in 1978. He received a bachelor's degree in finance from Indiana University in 1982. Pat was a lifelong lover of music, art, reading and sports. He learned to play golf with his brothers at Harrison Lake Country Club and was a member of the North golf team in high school. Born into a family of fierce competitors, Pat loved games of all sorts. He always had a dollar to place a bet on I.U. against his Purdue alumnus brother and Wisconsin alumni parents and sister. He shaved his head in support of the I. U. men's championship basketball team in 1981. He thrived on creating pools for March Madness or just about any other sports competition.
Early in his career, Pat was employed by the Golf Club of Indiana and the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass. A move to Chicago took him to the Chicago Board of Trade, where he was employed by LFG/Refco Futures and Barnes & Co./Argus for a total of 22 years. He grew to love the City of Chicago and became a big fan of the Cubs, the Bears and the Bulls. In the final years of his life, he served as a caddie at Pablo Creek Golf Club in Jacksonville.
Pat was preceded in death by an infant sister Susan, his parents and his nephew Lt. Cmdr. John McAdams Baker. He is survived by his brothers, Philip C. Rust III (Shirley), of Indianapolis; John Edward Rust of Fishers, Ind.; Thomas Enright Rust (Debbie) of Jacksonville; sister Barbara Rust Brown (Jack) of Williamsburg, Va.; nieces and nephews Christi Rust Crimmins, Michelle Rust Chastain, Brian Rust, Matt Rust, Jackson Rust, Nick Rust, Ashley Rust Chamberlain and Joan Baker; 18 great nieces and nephews; two newly discovered first cousins and countless friends, classmates and colleagues.
A Memorial Mass will take place at 10 a.m. Friday, September 28 at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, 1306 27th Street, Columbus, with visitation at 9 a.m. in the church narthex. Private family burial will follow at Garland Brook Cemetery.
The family requests contributions in Pat's memory to the Varsity Club Annual Giving Fund, which supports scholarships to varsity athletes, Indiana University Foundation, P.O. Box 500, Bloomington, Indiana 47402.
Online condolences may be left for the family at: www.Hathaway-Myers.com.
So very sorry to hear about the loss of Patrick . I remember him as well as his siblings growing up. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family at this very difficult time.
WOW !! What sadness. Just as I was trying to figure out where my long time friend might be these days. My brother sends me the sad news of his passing. I have lived in Florida for years and randomly kept in touch. I would always go to Venice when your mother would visit mine. Just so I could get the latest news on ole "Patrick" All those fun years on the lagoons skating or riding our bikes. Pat and I kept in touch up until I got married and the moved to Lakeland, FL. I will never forget those backyard football games or basketball games with family and friends from around Riverview Acres. Those are the memories I will cherish forever. I will forever, think of Pat when I see IU basketball or football or even his favorite Chicago teams. What a fun individual to be around. No matter what might have bothered me at anytime. I just needed a short dose of Pat to put all the crud of the day behind me. He always made fun of my 25 handicap in golf. I simply looked forward to the next green. Forget how I got there. On the other hand he would be there in two or three shots. Anyway ! I share in the families loss. He will never be forgotten and always remembered when I place my March Madness bets. Marlene and I wish to express our heart felt condolences to the entire Rust family.

CURIO 2018
Locals experiment by living without electricity
Story by Mary Landy
Photos by Charlotte Ward
On a cool Wednesday evening, downtown Harrisonburg goes dark. Only a streetlight helps to guide walkers to the front porch of the Downstream Project house. Someone has a headlamp on, casting a direct red glow around the otherwise dark kitchen inside. Corey Maxa, Amelia Morrison and Casey Lapham light four tall candles spread throughout the kitchen.
The only electricity in this house comes from an extension cord from the basement to charge a computer and a water heater. It currently has only two residents – they're welcoming and often have many temporary roommates.
The owners of the blue Downstream Project House no longer live in it. Rachel Sarah and her husband Nicholas built the house between 2011 and 2012, just after they were married. The house's mission came out of a shared passion for living alternatively, leaving as little impact as they could on the earth.
Rachel Sarah and Nicholas had been in Earth Club in 2008 and 2009 during their time at James Madison University. Rachel Sarah remembers a trip to West Virginia where she heard the stories of those who had been affected by mountaintop removal mining.
"I just couldn't come back to my apartment and switch on a light switch without thinking, 'Wow, this electricity is coming from coal,'" she recalls. "The more I learned about environmental injustices, the more you realize how they're connected to other environmental injustices, and then the more you see how they're related to other social injustices."
She began to experiment with her roommate with things like limiting waste and lighting candles at night instead of turning on the lights.
"First, I had to go through a time of overwhelm … and then after that trying to figure out, 'Well how can I live in this world?'"
The light from the candles begins to illuminate the room as someone lights a piece of cardboard to stoke the woodstove. As eyes adjust, the room seems so bright that the absence of a light switch is forgotten. Within minutes, the room smells softly of a summer night bonfire.
Corey lays out potatoes and vegetables on a cutting board and Casey begins to chop them.
"Full disclosure, this bag of sweet potatoes was liberated from a Food Lion dumpster," Corey says as he moves to light another candle, red and white, burned down from many nights' use. This freeganism isn't altogether uncommon in the house.
Though it's dark, everyone works around each other flawlessly — they're used to this. As they chop potatoes, boil water and slice green peppers, they talk all the while. When they close the woodstove, the scent goes away. The room is warmer than one would expect on a February night.
Amelia and Corey speak to each other, mostly in English, but sometimes in Spanish. As the sizzle of the vegetables and the potatoes on the woodstove fills the room, Corey begins to sing to himself at the sink.
"The more I got to give…it's the way that I live… what I'm living for," he says, almost to himself.
Somewhere, an old clock chimes seven times to mark the hour. The kitchen smells of fresh food. Herbs dry on a suspended grate from the ceiling.
"It's possible, you know…changing our system. What you put energy into will grow," Corey says.
After a few moments, Amelia follows up, "If you had no limitations, financially or geographically, what would you do to be happy?"
When Rachel Sarah and her husband bought the blue house, it was an opportunity to experiment in ways they couldn't living in an apartment. The transition into an electricity-free life, however, wasn't easy.
"To let go of that stuff, even though we have passion to let go of it, has been hard, because it's what we know," Rachel Sarah admits. "Each year we try to pick something to change significantly. We are Christian and our Christianity has informed much of what we're doing."
The name for the house, the Downstream Project, comes from their desire to live "into the Kingdom of God."
"How can we live in ways that aren't affecting us downstream? Who are the people that are affected by my choices?" Rachel Sarah asks.
The family uses the Lenten season each year, between Ash Wednesday and Easter, to give up something new. Using this time as a start, Rachel Sarah says, leaves them feeling empowered and encouraged to continue on living without certain amenities, like a refrigerator or washing machine.
Rachel Sarah believes that she and her family can help support and inspire other people in their decision to live in a more ecologically conscious way.
"I think it's a fun claim to fame that I have two children that I've cloth diapered all the way through, and I've never had a dryer," Rachel Sarah says through laughter. "It's always been normal life to just hang everything up. So, if anyone ever needs encouragement, I'm happy to encourage people that it is possible."
When asked about her favorite memories from living in the Downstream house, Rachel Sarah said it wasn't just one night, but many.
"I think our favorite times were evenings…having people over in the evening for dinner and to just be together, whether we'd play a game, or music, or just sit around and talk about whatever topic comes up," she remembers. "It seems really life-giving in a time that's so full of quickness and instantaneous information and things… just having these candlelight evenings. It's just cozy and intimate… It's special."
Among the clinging of forks picking pasta and vegetables off plates, Amelia asks, "Has anyone been reading any good books lately?"
Corey begins to describe a book on American Indian liberation theology.
"Indigenous cultures … their discernment for what to do as a people included their ceremonies. So, all their decisions are spiritually-based…in one of the first paragraphs it's like, we can't separate the political, cultural or spiritual for people that are in this place. It makes me think that we are so far away from that now as a society," he said.
Amelia remarks that the ways in which Corey and his roommate live "have a very grand vision of the future – always inspiring us."
They go on, discussing how living personally in this way can be reflected in society as a whole.
"Social change on a large scale can be something creative, experimental and playful. That's a beautiful thing," Amelia says.
The food is gone from the plates and all that is left is a sweet tea made from nettle and mint. The only sound is water running over the plates to clean them.
"The electricity part is one element, but we're trying to really learn and grow and experiment in many different directions," Corey says.
Much of Corey's lifestyle is reflected in his work with the New Community Project, Vine and Fig. Amelia and Casey are also involved with Vine and Fig's mission, and believe in the mission of alternative living.
"I think much of what we do is very much experimentation, trying to figure out a new culture and a new way to live that's personally life-giving but also is more just," Casey says. "This is kind of a small-scale experimentation of, you know, what is it really like living without electricity? We can shift culture in that way and normalize things."
Corey begins to speak about those who live in a community and acknowledge the ways in which their actions affect the rest of the world.
"Part of the 'no-electricity' is to hold space and to give encouragement to someone who might be thinking about experimenting in similar ways," he says.
The unseen clock chimes nine times. The night is darker still and one of the candles has burned out, but there remains a light strong enough to see around the table. As everyone begins to clean up, Corey hums the tune from his earlier song, Deep Inside. Food is put away in used and cleaned containers and dishes are washed and dried.
The conversation turns to candle-making.
"Rachel Sarah and Nick had homemade candle holders out of bent clothes hangers," Amelia remembers. "We tried to make more, but we didn't have enough beeswax."
By the time goodnights are said, the sky is sparkling with stars, and the air is a bit colder. Something feels different than before, fuller, more connected.

Operators in the maritime sector have said that the electronic call up system for trucks which is proposed by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) would fail unless the agency embarks on mass evacuation of empty containers from the ports and fix the dilapidated port access roads.
The NPA has said that the electronic call up system would take effect at the ports by August 2019.
In preparation for this, the agency has also cancelled its concession agreement with Lillypond Container Terminal, reclaiming the land for the purpose of converting it into a holding bay.
Speaking with Shipping Position Daily last week, Vice Chairman of Tin Can Island Chapter of Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) Mr. Mike Ossy said NPA must first direct all shipping companies and their vessels calling at the port to evacuate empty containers equivalent to what the vessel is bringing in.
He also said that the overtime cargoes at the ports are more than the fresh imports coming in; he said the terminal operators, especially Tin Can Island Container Terminal (TICT) are constrained for space.
He argued that most of the trucks littering the port access roads are bearing empty containers but there are no spaces for the terminal operators to receive them.
He said "The only thing NPA can do is to stop the shipping companies from receiving any ships here, until they have vacated all the empty containers, if this is done, there would be space for them to receive more empty containers"
"I have worked in a shipping company before and i know that shipping companies have been given a mandate, if you are arriving a port with 1,000 containers, going back, you must go with at least 800 containers, the remaining 200 is for those who would like to buy containers, but now people are no longer buying empties"
"The best bet is for NPA who concessioned all these terminals to embark on mass evacuation of empties and a mandate should be given to the terminal operators for overtime cargoes to be transported to the warehouses"
"The moment this is done, you would see the access road decongested.
The ANLCA Vice Chairman also advised that there should be a standing committee set up by NPA to move round weekly and inspect the holding bays purportedly owned by shipping companies and how many containers they are absolving back from truckers.
He argued that what drives people away from the holding bay is the money being charged from truckers, he said shipping companies are not supposed to charge money for dropping of empty containers.
"The shipping companies are enjoying what is happening here because of the container deposit they are taking"
"The call up system proposed by NPA cannot work as long all these boxes are still inside the terminals and littering the access road"
"NPA said they have taken back Ijora for dropping of empty containers but this cannot solve the problem, if you start using the Ijora Terminals, it would get filled up under two days, how do they want to take the containers back to where they are coming from when the ones in the port are not leaving", Mike Ossy said.


Figure 1. The Swinging Lever Arm Hypothesis and the Problem Posed by Myosin VI(A) The top panel illustrates the powerstroke of a (+) end-directed myosin, based on structures of scallop myosin II. From the pre-powerstroke (PPS) and rigor structures, a stroke of 7 nm is predicted for a construct truncated after one light chain/calmodulin-binding site (IQ motif). This corresponds to what has been measured for a truncated myosin V construct with one IQ motif. Note that if the lever arm were made longer, as in the case of myosin V, the measured powerstroke (stroke size) would increase .(B) This hypothetical model of the myosin VI powerstroke was generated using the same converter rotation and conformation for myosin VI as that found for plus-end motors, while maintaining the interactions found in rigor between the myosin VI converter and insert 2. Note that the lever arm is predicted to be oriented toward the actin filament, and a stroke of only 2.5 nm is predicted.(C) To generate the 11–12 nm measured stroke size for myosin VI, the orientation of the converter in the pre-powerstroke state must greatly differ from that of plus-end motors. Note in particular how the orientation of the proximal helix of insert 2 (white cylinder with purple contours) differs from the predicted model (B).
Figure 2. The Myosin VI Pre-Powerstroke Structure Reveals that a Converter Rearrangement Increases the Size of the Powerstroke. The structure of the myosin VI motor domain prior to force generation (pre-powerstroke [PPS]) is compared to that at the end of the powerstroke (rigor-like state). Note the drastic change in the converter (green) position and in the insert 2 proximal helix (purple) orientation. Possible positions of the full lever arm in the pre-powerstroke state are indicated by the red and black dotted lines. The black dotted line indicates that the kink observed in the insert 2 helix in the rigor-like state (below) is maintained in the pre-powerstroke state. The red dotted line indicates the lever arm position if there is no kink in the insert 2 helix in the pre-powerstroke state. This introduces approximately a 40° uncertainty in the lever arm position in the pre-powerstroke state.
Figure 3. The Myosin VI Converter Is Less "Primed" in the Pre-Powerstroke State(A) The pre-powerstroke state of myosin VI (color) is compared to that of Dictyostelium myosin II (black), with the Lower 50 kDa subdomains superimposed. The structures are oriented relative to a horizontal actin filament (black arrow). Note the difference in the relay (yellow) conformation, which is less bent in myosin VI. This results in a 10° difference in the orientation of the converter (green for myosin VI with L753 indicated as a green ball, the equivalent residue I741 in Dictyostelium is indicated as a black ball). Thus, the converter of myosin VI is less "primed" than that of plus-end motors.(B) Sequence differences at three critical locations in the relay result in the reduction in the myosin converter rotation. Less bulky side chains are found at the beginning of the relay near the helix bend (L489 in myosin VI, F484 in myosin II) and at the relay tip (V503 in myosin VI, W501 in myosin II). Also a one-residue deletion is found at the end of the relay (Y508 in myosin VI, F506-G507 in myosin II). All of these sequence differences contribute to diminishing the steric clash between the relay and the SH1 helix in myosin VI. Thus the relay is not forced to bend as much in myosin VI and the relay main chain is found closer to the SH1 helix than in myosin II.
Figure 4. A New Conformation of the Converter Reorients Insert 2 in the Pre-Powerstroke State(A) The rigor conformation of the converter (left) is compared to that of the pre-powerstroke state (right). In the two structures, the beta sheet is found in a similar orientation and the interactions with the relay and the SH1 helix are mostly conserved. In contrast, four hinges (black) drastically change conformation and reorient the helices of the converter as well as the insert 2 proximal helix (purple). The helix-loop-helix motif (light green) found between the first and the second hinges moves as a rigid body. Note in particular how a drastic conformational change in the third hinge reorients the last helix of the converter (αCter). Three hydrophobic side chains (orange) buried within the converter in the rigor conformation are repositioned toward the surface of the molecule in the pre-powerstroke state. Note also that the SH1 helix unwinds at its C terminus (Gly703-Gly704) in the pre-powerstroke state (shown as orange balls).(B) An important change in the conformation of the last hinge (residues 771–773) allow the orientation of the proximal helix of insert 2 to differ by ∼90° (relative to the αCter helix) between the pre-powerstroke state (color) and the rigor state (gray).(C) Comparison of the docking site of the insert 2 proximal helix (purple) in the two converter conformations. The same surface of this helix (L777-V780-V784-N785) interacts very differently in the two structures, mainly with the helix-loop-helix motif (light green) of the converter.
Figure 6. Converter/N-terminal Subdomain InteractionsThe position of the converter may also be influenced by the interactions it makes with the N-terminal subdomain. These interactions are weak in the case of the pre-powerstroke structure (A) but they are quite important in the rigor state (B). Note that the surface of the N-terminal subdomain involved in each case is different. Since the converter/relay interface is similar in both structures, it is possible to model the rigor converter conformation in the pre-powerstroke state (C) and the pre-powerstroke converter conformation in the rigor structure (D). It is clear that the rigor converter conformation is compatible with the pre-powerstroke structure but would not allow any interactions to be made with the N-terminal subdomain (C). In contrast, the pre-powerstroke conformation is incompatible with the rigor structure since a large steric clash would occur between the converter and the N-terminal subdomain (D). Thus, it seems that the unusual pre-powerstroke folding of the converter would be favored by myosin VI in the absence of constraints. Rearrangement to create the rigor folding, which is the one most similar to that of plus-end motors, may be triggered near the end of the working stroke by converter/N-terminal subdomain interactions.


Post job openings on social media platforms. One step to reaching a target audience is to locate where they spend their time. It's a known fact that millennials frequently utilize social media, so incorporate this into your recruitment strategy. Although LinkedIn is known as the "professional social network," post job opportunities within your company on Facebook, and even Twitter or Instagram if your business already uses those platforms.
Be visible, open, and honest. This might sound easy, but it's an extremely vital component to job seekers of this age group. Being able to research your company and discover your brand story is essential for motivating millennials to want to work with you. Whether it's on social media, your website, or through reviews, make accessible the information that is necessary to learning about who you are, what you do, and the company culture you cultivate.
Offer mentorship or further training opportunities. Millennials look for certain things in a future employer, but they especially value room for learning and growth. By providing your future employees with outlets for further education, training, and opportunities for promotion, you are delivering the sense of security which they are desperately seeking in a company.

Herlev Hospital
Herlev, Denmark
609,075 ft² | 56,585 m² | 243 Beds
Herlev Hospital is an emergency hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark that operates in collaboration with general practitioners, specialists and the municipalities in the area.
The Herlev Hospital redevelopment project involved the expansion and redevelopment of the existing hospital in order to expand its service offerings and become designated as one of the major emergency hospitals in the region. The 609,075 ft² / 56,585 m² attached expansion is connected to the existing hospital's main entrance and includes a new emergency department, bed section and child reception areas.
HCR's involvement in the project began with a Relocation Review in 2017 and was followed by four years of detailed Facility Activation, Patient and Asset Transfer Planning.
The Phase 1 relocation plans were executed over nine consecutive days in June of 2021. HCR provided on-site management services to coordinate and oversee the move to ensure a seamless relocation of the Emergency Department, Department of Children and Adolescents, Department of Gastrointestinal, Liver and Liver Diseases and the Department of Medical Diseases. The patient move was completed on the final day of the move, with 83 patients safely transferred into the new facility.
HCR also planned and managed the Phase 2 relocation, which saw maternity wards, neonatal, intensive care and operating rooms open. HCR developed a detailed patient transfer plan and worked closely in cooperation with the facility to coordinate the safe transfer of 61 patients over 2.5 hours. This included 8 intensive care patients, 6 gynecology patients, 35 maternity patients and 12 neonatal babies. This phase was successfully completed in September 2022, marking the end to this nearly five-year project.

Marine Corps Jokes
Mike Kemp / Getty Images
Rod Powers was the U.S. Military expert for The Balance Careers and was a retired Air Force First Sergeant with 22 years of active duty service.
Rod Powers
In the military, there are friendly rivalries between every branch and each has its own dose of elitism. However, jokes about each of the services by every other branch are as common as grunts making fun of POGs (People Other Than Grunts).
Here is a classic U.S. Marines joke. It can be told to anyone who is not a Marine.
Classic Marine Corps Joke
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a U.S. Marine Corps base. He goes to the front gate and says to the sentry, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"
To his surprise, the Marines accept him enthusiastically. They feed him at the officer's club, they fix his car at the motor pool, and they even allow him to sleep in the VIP quarters.
But as the man tries to fall asleep that night, he hears a strange sound. All through the night, he continues to hear this sound.
The next morning, he asks the Marines what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a Marine."
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes on his way.
Some years later, the same man again breaks down in front of the same Marine Corps base. Again the Marines accept him enthusiastically, fix his car, and allow him to stay in the VIP quarters. And, again, that night, he hears the same strange noise that he heard years earlier.
The next morning he asks what it was, but the Marines reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a Marine."
The man says, "All right, all right. I'm dying to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a Marine, how do I become one?"
The Marines reply, "You must go to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island and undergo several weeks of torturous training. You will be yelled at, put down, cut down, and physically exhausted. From there you will go on to receive infantry training. You will learn how to fight, fight to survive, and fight to win. You will learn how to act the Corps, breathe the Corps, eat the Corps, sleep the Corps, be the Corps. When you finish these trials, you will be a Marine."
The man sets about his task. He goes through boot camp and advanced infantry training and is assigned to a Marine Expeditionary Unit. He is sent to fight in two small wars and three police actions.
Three years later, while on leave, he returns to the Marine Corps base where he heard that strange sound. Standing there in his dress uniform, he says, "I have joined the Corps, and I have paid my dues. I have fought for the love of God, country, and the Corps."
The Marines reply, "Congratulations. You are now a Marine. We shall now show you the way to the sound."
The Marines lead the man to a wooden door, where the base commander says, "The sound is right behind that door."
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, "Real funny. May I have the key?"
The base commander gives him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door.
The commander gives him the key and he opens the door, only to find behind it a door made of rubies. He demands another key from the commander, who provides it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphires. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, amethyst...
Finally, the commander says, "This is the last key to the last door."
The man is relieved no end. He unlocks the door and turns the knob, and behind that door, he is amazed to find the source of the strange sound.
But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a Marine.
Sorry, there are a few minutes that you will never get back.
