While they are unlikely to be familiar with popular fasting acronyms such as CR, IF, DTRF, ADF or FMD, centenarians in Blue Zones like Nicoya, Sardinia and Okinawa tend to eat relatively small portions of whole foods, consuming a low to moderate calorie diet by being mindful of their hunger and avoiding calorie-dense, fat- and sugar-laden processed and packaged foods.
Okinawans practice the traditional cultural rule of hara hachi bu, which means eating only until they are about 80% full. Typically, most meals are consumed within an 8- to 12-hour feeding window throughout the day, referred to by researchers as a "compressed feeding window." This is the same window observed in many of the new, Westernized forms of fasting- or caloric-restriction-based diets, most of which involve at least 12 to 16 hours of not consuming calories during a given 24-hour period.

Home / News / Business News / The world is on the brink of a trade war
The world is on the brink of a trade war
Posted on Friday, March 23, 2018 by CNN in Business News
The United States and China have fired the dramatic opening shots of what could become a trade war. But it's what happens next that matters most.
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would impose tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese exports to the United States. Beijing quickly outlined new import taxes of its own on US products worth $3 billion.
The increasingly bellicose rhetoric suggests that further escalation is possible: Trump described his actions targeting China as "the first of many," while Beijing said "it is impolite not to reciprocate" and promised a "fight to the end."
Analysts are worried. China's response Friday was framed as retaliation for steel and aluminum tariffs Trump unveiled earlier in March, not his Thursday broadside. That means a second strike could be in the works.
If Trump unveils yet more punitive measures, Beijing is almost certain to respond. That could be followed by another round, and another. That pattern of retaliation is what economists call a trade war.
"The main source of lingering concern is uncertainty over what happens next," said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics.
What Trump wants
It's difficult to predict how the spat will evolve, but there may be clues in what's happened so far.
Trump said repeatedly during his campaign that he would take tough stance on trade with China. He said the United States had been ripped off, and he would take action to reduce the US trade deficit with China.
In recent weeks, he has demanded that China cut the deficit by $100 billion.
In addition to steel and aluminum, the Trump administration has targeted imported washing machines and solar panels with taxes that would affect China. It has not said which products will be hit by the latest round of tariffs.
Trump has framed these and other actions as part of a negotiation. Several US allies, for example, were given an 11th hour temporary reprieve from the steel and aluminum tariffs.
"When it comes to China, the US is looking for a large deal that addresses the trade balance and liberalizes China's market," said Scott Kennedy, a China expert at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
Williams said that Beijing is unlikely to change its trade practices, which have given its companies a leg up.
The big question: Are the actions Trump has already taken enough to satisfy the president and his supporters?
"The key uncertainty now is whether President Trump sees [the tariffs] as an end in themselves, or whether they are followed by a further escalation when, as seems likely, they fail to narrow the trade imbalance significantly," said Williams.
The response from China
It takes two countries to have a trade war.
So analysts are watching very closely to see how Beijing responds in the coming weeks and months.
China has plenty of options to hit back at the United States. It is one of the biggest buyers of US crops, including soybeans or sorghum. China could put a tax on those, or buy more soy from places like Brazil and Argentina.
Beijing could also slap tariffs on American aircraft, doing great damage to US companies such as Boeing. Or it could simply direct its state-backed airlines to buy more from Airbus in future.
China's retaliation has, so far, been limited.
It's possible that more measures will be announced when the scale and impact of the latest round of tariffs from Washington become clear. Still, China knows it has a lot to lose if things get out of hand.
"[Beijing] may want to appear to be standing up to foreign bullying in the coming weeks. But at this stage, they can afford to be fairly relaxed and their response is likely to be limited," said Williams. "China's leaders have no desire to see the global trading system further destabilized."
How to avoid a trade war
Cooler heads may prevail if Washington and Beijing look at the bigger picture.
The actions announced so far will have relatively little impact on the world's two largest economies. Capital Economics estimates, for example, that the new US tariffs will cause China's GDP to decline by just 0.1%.
A full blown trade war would have much more profound economic implications for the United States and China. It would also drag down global trade and put vulnerable economies under pressure.
US allies are calling on the Trump administration to change its tactics, and address trade grievances through discussion and in accordance with global trade rules.
"Preserving the global rules-based system for trade is what we should all be working towards," EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström tweeted Friday.

Live from One Young World: Diversity in the Business World
LaTionna Russell, The Eagle Staff Reporter
Editor's Note: The Eagle's Sarah Parker, LaTionna Russell and Arthur King are reporting from the One Young World 2012 Convention in Pittsburgh all this weekend.
I sat in on a Breakout session on October 19, 2012. During this session, it was considered a debate about women taking jobs under their companies "quotes." Before they started the debate, they took a count of who felt companies having quotes directed to women, to others who felt quotes were inexplicably wrong. At the end of the tally, the count came to a ratio of 3:25(not including the people who were neutral).
The leader of the discussion first started off talking about the Pros and the Cons of this very broad question. "Quotas can be shown to be good for businesses, and quotas ensure equal representation." When she started discussing all these facts about the positive impacts of a "quota," I started to wonder what a quota is in the business world.
A quota is a specific amount of something that is needed. So, you're saying a business has to have a certain amount of women to show diversity? The answer is yes. But, doesn't that seem wrong? To most people, yes.
On the pro-quota side, the men felt that they don't feel women are capable of the higher job life, such as; CFO's, and CEO's. Norway for instance, they have a quota and they started with less than 20% women on the boards in 2003, now there's more than, 40% on boards in companies, so maybe quotas are good things.
To be black, and a woman, sometimes the two are highly known as negatives in the business world. But, what men don't realize is that, I am smarter than the average male. My voice counts and standing behind a male, other than my father's is ludicrous. I stand next to men, not even in front, because we are all equal. When it comes to my business, I act like a woman, but think like a man, because I am in charge of my life.
A young woman from South Africa stated, "In Africa, we don't even have working jobs. We are supposed to stay in the homes and bare children and nurture the children, so why complain? You have to get out there and fight for yourself, don't expect anything just by complaining." When this young woman spoke to all the women in the session, it made me really realize that I am in control of my own destiny, and if I want something, I have to go out and get it. I can't complain, because when I'm complaining, I'm still going to be in the same situation I'm in.
For the anti-quota side, they felt that men look at quotas as an artificial fix. Women should look at the qualities of the person, not the diversity of the person.
Another question that came to mind when they discussed the indefinite amount of women in the work field is that, maybe women are choosing different issues such as, their families. Compared to a male who feels it is catalyzed for the job to be theirs. "Women don't strive to be leaders because women weren't thinking about jobs when they were younger. I didn't even know what I wanted to be when I got to college." A woman said during the discussion.
What about the value of Networking? If a male and a female network, it would probably help a woman to be considered in a companies? "Well, people's minds need to change." One person said. "Women are just being promoted too early." another stated.
At the end of the debate, the tally was taken again; the ratio of pro-quote to anti-quote's changed significantly. It was now 14:26.

The Revolution Which Worked
by Camilla Power
The carnival against capitalism – the joyful revolutionary overthrow – isn't just about class. It's equally about sex. If we track the cycle of the moon with a monthly insurrection, amplifying tidal periodicities in this way, then women all over the world start to tune in to one another's rhythm. The average menstrual cycle is one moon – 29.5 days. Dance in the moonlight, and your cycle gets in step. Hunter-gatherer women know this well, marking time through the dance in their bodies. But of course Euroamerican patriarchs servicing capitalism 24/7 have forgotten this oldest of clocks.
Sound mad? Crazy? Lunatic? No revolution ever worked, right? Or could ever change human nature? Except the one revolution which did work – the revolution which made us human. We know that it worked because here we are today. Among all animals, only we humans have language, art, religion, symbolic culture. We possess these levels of organisation and awareness thanks to the way our unique species emerged in the evolutionary past.
What kinds of evidence can tell us about the human revolution? First, the evidence left us by evolution in the shape of our bodies. Second, archaeological evidence left by our ancestors. Third, we can learn from the lives – especially sex lives – of people who until recent times have been living in ways that resemble our hunting and gathering past.
As far as our bodies go, we may be 99% similar to chimpanzees in terms of shared DNA. But there are remarkable differences. For one thing, our brains are three times bigger than any chimp's. If you go to the zoo to watch chimps interact you will very soon see obvious differences in sex behaviour. In the few days before, and just when, she is fertile, a female chimp sports a pink sexual swelling the size of a grapefruit. During this period of oestrus, she is busy having sex with all the adult males of her group. And this takes place openly in front of other group members. Women, by contrast, show no such display marking out the most fertile days of our cycles. We can have sex - or not - pretty much any time. Although it varies between societies, every society on earth has some standard of modesty or discretion surrounding sex, which clearly does not apply to chimps.
Our large brain size can be linked with these features of sexual behaviour. Very large brains are energy-conuming. A human mother breast-feeding an infant needs a lot of high-quality food to sustain the child's brain growth. Once a chimp gets pregnant, the adult males of her troop – any of whom might be possible fathers – simply leave her to get on with the job of childrearing on her own. But a human mother expects others, including men, to help with the energetic burden. The reason why our female ancestors evolved to show no sign of ovulation is that it kept males guessing about when a female might be fertile – and so kept males hanging around, possibly doing something useful. Sex which was not necessarily fertile or reproductive could be used to reward particularly helpful males.
But what about synchrony of menstrual cycles, which most women experience at some time? Is there an evolutionary reason for that? If you observe your cycle entraining with another woman's, the underlying mechanism of the process is that your time of ovulation is coming closer to hers. Now think back to the situation of our evolving ancestors, and take the viewpoint of a male who is trying to find fertile females to get his genes into the next generation. If the females around him are synching their cycles, he will have a hard time paying attention to more than one of them. While he is busy with one, other males are going to be trying to get friendly with the others. This could be very useful for the females if they need more than a single male to help with protecting the group and getting some high-energy foods for the kids. Females of many mammal species show the capacity to synchronise their cycles, including several monkey species. And when they synchronise, more males come into their troupes. If females want the males, they do synchrony; if they don't (maybe because there isn't so much food around), they become asynchronous. In the case of human evolution, synchrony seems to have been very important for us. We can tell because not only is the mean length of a menstrual cycle the same as the lunar cycle at 29.5 days, but also the mean length of gestation is a precise multiple of nine lunar cycles. Evolution has inscribed the lunar rhythm into women's bodies. We are designed for lunar periodic synchrony. The limestone plaquette (left) from Lalinde in the Dordogne, carved 13,000 years ago, celebrates this.
Of course, once a woman is pregnant, gives birth and starts nursing, her male partner/s might be inclined to look elsewhere. This was a major problem for our foremothers in evolution. Females had to breastfeed for years after birth; males would be able to tell which females were fertile, not by signs of ovulation – these had been phased out – but by menstruation. A menstruating female is not fertile immediately, but in a week or two she could be. Therefore, evolving human males would have been eager to bond with any menstrual female, bringing her the Palaeolithic equivalent of flowers and chocolates, more likely to be choice cuts of game meat.
But the females who really needed the extra energy were the nursing mothers. Faced with competition from fertile menstrual females, they had two choices: either, hide the fact another female was menstruating from the males; or, use her attractions to encourage the males to extra efforts. This second strategy gave us the first cosmetics – the earliest kinds of body art and symbolism. All women, whether they were pregnant, nursing or fertile, daubed themselves with blood red colours, using ochre and haematite pigments ground up and mixed with fats as sexual warpaint. In this display, the message of the women – as a group – to the men was: you're not going to separate us; you're not going to pick and choose; you're going to hunt for all of us. And NO sex till you do.
By acting in solidarity, women used sexual display to organise the world's first economy. Hiding would have got little extra out of men. Collective cosmetic display got men to go hunting, providing energy and vital nutrients for large-brained offspring. As a result, humans thrived, spreading all over the planet.
We are an extraordinarily young species, emerging from Africa just 150,000 years ago. The 'human revolution' broke out initially in sub-Saharan Africa. Across southern Africa by 120,000 years ago, archaeologists find widespread evidence for a cosmetics industry of red ochre and haematite. This includes bright red crayons, shaped like lipsticks, used in the first body art and colour design over 100,000 years ago. One of the best known sites is Blombos Cave, on the shores of South Africa. Here, among numerous beautifully crafted ochre crayons, archaeologists have found engraved haematite blocks, one of which has been carefully decorated with a cross-hatch pattern, showing beyond reasonable doubt that its makers were true artists. Dated to 76,000 years ago, this particular item (right) made newspaper headlines across the world in 2002 – proving that art is at least twice as old in Africa as any known in Europe.
Wherever these first humans went, first into the Middle East, then moving round the Indian Ocean to Australia, finally going north into Eurasia and the Americas, they carried red ochre cosmetics with them. We can track and date their movements. There is even some evidence that Neanderthals picked up and copied our cosmetics when we came into contact in Ice Age Europe some 40,000 years ago.
Among African hunters and gatherers, cosmetics have cosmic significance. When a young woman begins menstruating for the very first time, her older sisters and other kinswomen celebrate the occasion by bonding tightly with her, not letting her from their sight. Her menstruation may be marked by red ochre. The girl stays in a hut while all the women dance outside. The much-desired maiden is declared off-limits. Her body is 'sacred' – no man may come close. The sisters accentuate their bond with the girl by constructing her blood as enveloping them, too. The blood refuses to be confined, welling up like a flood, casting its spell everywhere. In Africa, Australia, Eurasia and the Americas, women traditionally wore blood-red cosmetics to make just this point, asserting their bodies to be 'blessed by the moon'.
Moon-scheduled revolution, for Africa's surviving hunting-and-gathering peoples, is not an event dimly remembered in ancient myths and traditions. Rather, it is a task still to be accomplished each month. As the new moon makes its appearance in the sky, people form a circle as brothers and sisters, singing and clapping hands as if a baby had been born. This is their revolution, and it happens each month. How is it that a revolution can be constructed as a repeatable event? The secret is to know not only how to seize power, but to know how to let go, how to play.
Each month, at new moon, synchronised insurrection overthrows the rule of men. Women declare themselves on strike, extending their action until the have got the message and understood. No individual can be exempt from the action: fertile sex is impermissible during this time. But why stay on strike forever? Why cling to power once victory has been achieved? At the approach of full moon, women begin anticipating an all-night celebration. A fortnight earlier, they had sent the men away. Now, utilising the moon's light, these hunters should be closing in for the kill. On the night of the full moon, they should ideally be returning home – laden with freshly-killed game. According to a popular Kalahari saying, Women like meat! They like hunters' bodies, symbolically identified with the fatty flesh which good hunters bring. Where there is meat in abundance, the matriarchs will be happy to yield. If this were a permanent surrender, they might have legitimate doubts. If the enemy could regain and entrench sexual dominance, it would be unwise to surrender at all. But the women know that this is not so. They won the revolution once – they know they can win it again. Men's victory will be as transient as women's, each camp yielding to the other in turn. As women choose honeymoon, they relax in certain knowledge of what the future will bring. Next dark moon, sure as our blood flows – we'll be out on that picket line again!

An Oath of Office ceremony was administered by City Clerk Yvonne Quarker during the City of West Hollywood's annual City Council Reorganization and Installation meeting on Monday, May 15, 2017 at the City Council Chambers/Public Meeting Room at West Hollywood Library. A brief City Council meeting took place followed by a community reception on the second floor of the library. Mayor Heilman and Mayor Pro Tempore Duran are openly gay and they serve as two of three openly gay members on the five-member City Council.
Mayor Heilman has served the City of West Hollywood as a Councilmember since the City was incorporated in 1984. He is one of the longest serving openly gay elected officials in the country. Heilman is a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He is a graduate of Northwestern University and the Gould School of Law at the University of Southern California (USC). Heilman also earned a Master's Degree in Public Administration and Master's Degree in Real Estate Development from the Price School of Public Policy at USC. He currently teaches law at the Southwestern Law School and at the University of Southern California Law School.
Mayor Heilman's opening comments just moments after his installation were a call to action to "oppose and resist the reactionary policies coming out of Washington D.C." Below is an excerpt from that speech:
"First and foremost, we must do everything we can to oppose and resist the reactionary policies that are coming out of Washington, D.C. These are policies that would eliminate healthcare for the most vulnerable people in our community, many of them living with HIV and AIDS, many of them with other serious pre-existing conditions, policies which would defund reproductive health care, policies which would undermine the gains of the LGBT community, especially the scant protections that are available for the transgender community.
But we must do more than simply resist and oppose. We must serve as a strong counterexample in the city of West Hollywood. We must remain a city that promotes equality, that promotes human rights. We must continue to be a leader in the fight for LGBT rights. We must continue to be a leader in the fight for equality for women and girls. We must continue to fight to ensure that reproductive health care is available to all. We must continue to be committed to providing social services and affordable housing for those in need in our community. We must continue to be a community that demonstrates our commitment through our funding process.
We must oppose and resist all of those policies coming out of Washington that target people of different religions, and different races and different ethnicities. We must oppose and resist everything that's coming out of Washington that would attack our immigrant population. We certainly must oppose all of the belligerent activities in Washington that are alienating our allies and provoking our enemies and creating a climate of instability in the world."
Mayor Pro Tempore John J. Duran is a native Angeleno and has been a resident of West Hollywood since 1990. He has been an elected member of the West Hollywood City Council since 2001. He is a recognized national leader on HIV/AIDS issues and on LGBT equality. Duran has a Juris Doctorate degree from Western State University College of Law and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from California State University Long Beach (CSULB). He has been a lawyer in private practice since 1987.

Incorporated in 1984, the City of West Hollywood is one of the most outspoken advocates anywhere for the legal rights of LGBT people. West Hollywood was one of the first cities in the country to pass a resolution in support of marriage equality. This paved the way for same-sex marriage initiatives all over the country. In June 2008, in a monumental moment in U.S. history, the city, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder Clerk, began to issue marriage licenses and perform civil ceremonies for same-sex couples after the California Supreme Court ruled that a ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. The City was forced to halt those marriages in November 2008 with the passage of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage. A long legal battle ensued in federal court, which finally resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court dismissing an appeal in Hollingsworth v. Perry in June 2013 allowing same-sex marriages to resume. The City of West Hollywood launched a marriage celebration and West Hollywood councilmembers and city officials performed hundreds of civil ceremonies. In June 2015, the City of West Hollywood was a focal point in national celebrations marking the historic decision Obergefell v. Hodges, in which the Supreme Court ruled that all states must license and recognize same-sex marriages.

Amy Basham, 49
July 04, 2019 at 5:00 am |
Amy Basham passed away at the Kalispell Regional Medical Center one year ago today, on July 4, 2018. She was surrounded by her three children.
Amy was born Amy Colleen Beebe at the Balboa Navy Hospital in San Diego on May 21, 1969, to Gary and Cheryl. She was followed 14 months later by her sister, Wendy.
Amy attended school in East Wenatchee and Cashmere, Washington, before the family moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, in July 1982. She attended Shoenbar Junior High, Ketchikan High School, and graduated, ahead of schedule, from Revilla High School in 1987. She met her future husband, Rendell Floyd, in Ketchikan and they moved to his hometown of Coram, Montana, in late 1988. The couple raised their three children in Coram.
Amy worked at the Montana State Veterans Home for exactly 24 years. She reluctantly retired from her position as ward clerk on June 27, just one week before she passed. She left behind countless friends from her time there. Gayle, Kim, Lynette, Meg, "the Bonnies," Alice, Jeanne, and Kathy just to name a few — they were family to her, they all leaned on one another — they were so supportive, especially after her cancer diagnosis. Her dear friend, Gayle, was like a sister to Amy; they could often be found mapping out their garage sale routes — especially on their birthday weekend in May, which was a tradition for them.
Amy was an avid crafter; handmade cards were her passion. She joined Stampin' Up! to receive a discount on her paper crafting supplies and convinced her sister to join as well so they would be able to attend events together. And they did. For the last five years of Amy's life, they attended as many Stampin' Up events as they could — Salt Lake City and Las Vegas were the best. They shared all things crafty, hitting every Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and JoAnn's along the way (coupons in hand, of course)! She loved road trips, camping at KOAs, trips to Juneau to visit her sister, her sisters' visits to Montana, and crafting with her sister.
She was extremely proud of her three kids, and she absolutely adored her little grandson, Keian. Sadly, Amy missed the birth of her newest grandson, Lincoln on June 17, 2019, as well as her son Ryan's wedding to Brynn in February — but, we know she was there, and always will be.
Amy will be dearly missed by her husband, Harry Basham, her children Ryan Floyd (Brynn), Heather Floyd (Levi), and Kaitlyn Floyd, her grandsons Keian and Lincoln, her father, Gary Beebe (Linda), her mother, Cheryl Dunning (Earl), her stepdad, Fred Gronlund (Lynn), her sister, Wendy Beebe-Chavolla (Gustavo), nephews Stephen Hansen and Roland Peterson, nieces Amanda Beebe-Bay (Travis) and Samantha Greene, grandniece, Victoria, as well as extended family. Amy is also survived by countless friends both old and new whom she loved dearly and whose friendship she cherished. Condolences can be sent to her children c/o Heather Floyd, P.O. Box 331 Coram, Montana 59913; or to her sister, Wendy Beebe at P.O. Box 34512, Juneau, Alaska 99803.

Your #FirstYear as a Creator with @shinewithnatasha
Natasha Samuel is an Instagram strategist, CEO of Shine With Natasha and host of The Shine Online Podcast. Four years ago, she started her one-woman social media management business before becoming a coach, speaker, and educator. As sunny as her signature yellow brand, Natasha was kind enough to share lessons from her first year as a content creator.
The Leap: Paint us a picture about how you became your own boss. What made you take the leap?
Natasha Samuel: One of my first internships was with a woman that had her own digital marketing business; she worked remotely and for herself, which was completely new to me. She really encouraged me that if I wanted to build my own business, I could; she planted the seeds.
At the time, I was in college studying public relations but didn't see myself going into a big PR agency. During my senior year, I had the crisis that every senior in college has: What do I do now? What makes me excited? What am I passionate about? What do I want my life to look like after college? I had all these skills so thought, what if I started doing social media management for clients?
The day before my 21st birthday, I told my mentor about this idea and she said, "Go for it. I'll give you your first client." And I was like, oh, okay, this is happening! So I started with that first client and then went out and got my own clients using the Upwork freelance platform.
What was your initial schedule, projects, and workload like? Are there other experiences that stood out for you that year?
I was really happy that I gave myself room to not niche myself down by force and to truly try everything. Initially, I was doing digital marketing but very quickly realized that I really hated design, I did not like building websites and I did not like doing things like Facebook or LinkedIn for clients. I was getting burnt out by under charging and doing too much. I had to reevaluate my pricing structure and my packages. And I realized I only wanted to do Instagram.
Looking back I thought I was killing it but I made like, $14,000 USD in my first year, which wasn't bad, right? But not really enough for a person to live on, especially when I was reinvesting a lot of that money back into my business. I had to make the tough decision to move home. That was the sacrifice I decided to make. I didn't want another job to take away from the energy I was putting into my business. It was one of the hardest decisions but one of the smartest ones I made in that first year in order to not have pressure to support myself and to really be able to pour myself into building sustainably.
At the time, I was also having the big dilemma and debating if I should even start my Instagram account (@shinewithnatasha), which surprises a lot of people because I now have a community of 40,000 people. Today it's the heart and soul of my business in so many ways, but I think I told myself that I wanted to spend all my energy and time helping my clients and didn't want to be distracted by marketing and growing my own brand. The truth is, I was nervous to show up. I told myself, "People are gonna think I'm too young or that I'm not qualified enough. I don't have years and years of experience."
All these things, which are actually strengths of mine now, I was really insecure about.
But being consistent and always wanting to show up authentically and with value made it such that, when my brand really blew up in 2020, people gravitated towards it because I was already walking the walk, even if it was just for 1,000 people. It's good to remember: I started with zero followers. It demonstrates the power of showing up when people aren't watching because you are building those stepping stones for that next level that you're wanting to get to… I look back at my first story and my first IGTV and my first Instagram reel and you can just see that it's so new to me and I'm just putting myself out there. If you never post that first one, that 100th one will never be stellar.
In year two, I launched my first course that made $0. Literally $0. But I made it, I filmed it, I created it, I launched it, I did it. And that led me to continue to create courses and have bigger launches that were really successful. Then, I started a podcast and started doing free summits and started showing up more on video, which led me to then being invited to speak on stages. I was creating content where I mentioned brands that I really love, which eventually led to me partnering with those brands. I feel like those little stepping stones, the things that felt exciting were taking me to the next level. By simply doing them, even while I was doing social media management, not only helped me diversify my income but showed me that, if I needed to pivot or change and lean into something else, I had the skills and that I could do it.
How did you eventually land on your rate? And what did you learn about money?
For a lot of entrepreneurs finances, logistics and things that are necessary are very scary. Money was very scary to me. Everyone has different relationships with money. I was not only being thrust into adulthood, straight out of college but then I had to figure out how to pay and save for taxes, how to file an LLC. It was just so overwhelming that I avoided it. I wish that not only I would have separated my money so much sooner, but I would have gotten help from an accountant. At the time, I felt like I couldn't afford it but I needed to be able to afford it. That was a big shift: it's such an important part of running a business. We can't avoid it.
At first, I was charging around $300 USD/month for full Instagram management, design, graphics for my longest client that was a therapist, and close to minimum wage at $12 USD/hr hour for a marketing assistant role including Instagram, Facebook, photoshoot director, and blog management. I was doing A LOT of work for the lowest rate compared to industry standards. One client I was able to double the rate over time but the other I had to let go because they couldn't budge as a non-profit. In comparison, my last social media management client was at a $1,200 USD/month retainer… which looking back was STILL low for all the work I was doing. I now get paid this amount just for one Reel in my brand partnerships!
If you could go back and give yourself words of wisdom, what would they be?
Trust that gut instinct sooner! It would have helped me out a little bit. I did the best I could. I'm proud of the little bit of confidence that I had but wish I would have leaned into that instinct a lot sooner… What really stuck with me since that first year was my mentor telling me, you know, if you know more than someone else, you are an expert! I was just not feeling confident. I told myself: I don't have years and years of marketing experience, I'm still in college, who's gonna hire this college kid? Who's going to accept my rates? I felt like I had to hide it. And she just always told me that, if I know more than someone else, I am an expert. And so I feel, even to this day, I really leaned into that. Even if I have just a little bit of experience or ideas, or a perspective, that is enough. I can trust myself and feel competent, posting the thing, pitching the services, whatever it is. I am an expert.

Bundesautobahn 656 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 656, short form Autobahn 656, abbreviated as BAB 656 or A 656) is an autobahn in Germany. It leads from Mannheim-Neckarau to Autobahnkreuz (motorway junction) Heidelberg.
The planning for an Autobahn between Mannheim and Heidelberg began as early as 1926. It was taken into account in the planning for the HaFraBa (Hamburg-Frankfurt-Basel). The motorway was opened in 1935 under the Third Reich as a Reichsautobahn). It originally stretched from the eastern end of Mannheim (Schwetzingerstadt/Oststadt) to Heidelberg (Bergheim), Bergheimer Strasse. The end sections of the autobahn became part of State Highway (Bundesstrasse) B 37 in the 1990s, thus shortening the autobahn from its original 14.8 kilometres (9.2 mi) to 11.9 kilometres (7.4 mi). At the same time most of the crossing bridges were torn down and rebuilt with enough space to make room for an emergency lane on both sides. Until the mid-90s there was no speed limit on the A 656; today the speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph).
Exits numbered from West to East.

Adobe Creative Cloud And Creative Suite 6 Arrive
Mat Honan
Adobe released its new Creative Cloud and Creative Suite 6 today, and clearly, it wants to push you towards the former. The company is betting big on its Internet-powered software and gambling that customers will pay to come along for the ride.
Creative Cloud is basically what we've been expecting — a full compliment of Adobe's Creative Suite 6 apps all hosted online for $63 a month including GST (with an annual contract) for a licence that lets you run any of its apps on up to two machines...but not simultaneously. There's also a per-seat team-pricing structure for organisations, an education version ($25 per month) and a $95 month-to-month pricing structure.
To use Creative Cloud, you have to first download a small app that manages all the others. Users will log into Adobe's site, and select which apps they want to use, at which point they'll be pushed to the desktop. You can pick and choose apps, and use them just when you need them. It's designed to publish to a variety of platforms, says Adobe, the Web, iOS and Android devices.
It's also moving storage to the cloud. Membership gets you 20GB of storage, and users will be able to store and share up to five projects online at once on Adobe's servers. Adobe will let you sync projects to Creative Cloud and access them from anywhere, and share them with others with various permission levels — for example a colleague might be able to make changes to a file while a client could only view it.
Creative Cloud will include a few features not found in CS6, like Typekit, the tool that basically makes sure any font you want to use is web safe, Edge, which is similar to Flash but outputs to HTML5, and Muse, which lets designers layout websites visually and generate standards-compliant HTML code from their designs.
There are also sharing and learning features where you can, for example, follow a particular designer's work or learn how to use an Adobe product you don't already know. Which, really, sounds like the kind of thing companies like to think is great but often isn't. How that's implemented will be everything.
And then there's Creative Suite 6. It has four different pricing models with various bundles (see chart below). What Adobe is largely pushing here is speed. It says it has simplified workflow across all its tools, and greatly enhanced the UI to make it more modern. And it's also touting its Mercury Playback Engine for faster processing. Everything is being optimised for HTML5 output, to look good in any modern browser, in any layout.
Clearly, Adobe is trying to get you to move to the Creative Cloud. For just a little bit more than you'd pay for the Master Collection, you get a product with more tools, that's always up to date, and never have to upgrade again. But of course, that means you're essentially buying an entire new product line every year.
Stay tuned for full details in upcoming posts.


Is It True That You Drink More When It Is Cold?
It's a cold and snowy night in Amarillo. Do you find yourself wanting a drink? I mean more than you do any other time.
There has been a study from the University of Pittsburgh and they actually confirm it is true.
The research found a connection between the weather in a city and the alcohol intake on average. Think about it. This makes some sense. When you get drunk, the alcohol increases the blood flow to your skin. The outcome? It actually warms you up.
Here is the takeaway though. You need to be careful because they found out more than that. People in cold weather areas were also more likely to have liver disease. That is also directly connected to alcohol.
So as the next talk of snow heats up......turn the heat up or light the fireplace but be careful of too much alcohol. Even if it feels like it is warming you up a bit.

Q: UploadFile prevent page postback My project is a Asp.Net project. The code is written in vb.net.
There are file-upload and a gridview with this TemplatesField:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
      <ItemTemplate>
           <a onserverclick="fnEditWork" class="AEditWork" href='<%#Eval("WorkID")' runat="server" id="EditWork">
     </ItemTemplate>
     <ItemStyle Width="30px" />
</asp:TemplateField>

in this situation the file-upload works but the anchor does not fire post-back. (the 'fnEditWork' function on onserverclick does not fire.) But when I comment the file-upload code out then fnEditWork function fires.
How can I make it work?

A: You can do it with AJAX.
Put something like that arround it
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
                <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
                   <ContentTemplate>

                   </ContentTemplate>
                   <Triggers>
                      <asp:AsyncPostbackTrigger ControlID="AEditWork" EventName="onserverclick" />
                   </Triggers>
                </asp:UpdatePanel>

Clear stamps are the cool kid on the block when it comes to stamps (at least in my book).
In the March Mercantile Mail kit, there was a faboo set of clear stamps designed by Christine Herrin. Designed with a planner in mind but these stamps can be used by card-makers, art journalers, and scrapbookers alike.
Here is a peek of how I use the coffee one in my planner. Keep reading for three easy steps to using clear stamps.
1) Remove the stamp of your choice from the backer sheet and position them on a clear acrylic block. The stamps will cling to the block. Don't have a clear block? You can also use: bottom of a clear bowl or water glass (flat surface) or top of the ink pad . When I have been stamping on the go I have even used my finger with these little stamps - works great!
THE NEXT box is open for new subscribers AND THERE ARE JUST 25 SPOTS! DON'T MISS OUT RESERVE YOUR BOX HERE!!
2) Apply the ink of your choice. With smaller stamps I tend to take the ink to the stamps and gently apply. You don't want to smoosh the stamp into the pad. In this example I am using a water based ink. There are lots of inks and you can find them at your local craft store.
3) Line up your image where you want it and firmly and evenly stamp down. Don't put all of your weight into it. Just firm even pressure does the trick. Then lift the stamp straight up and you are all done.
Looking for some great ideas on stamping? One of my favorite stampers is Jennifer McGuire...Her blog is full of inspiration and ideas.
p.p.s.: To keep you stamps in good condition be sure to clean them off after each use. You can use a stamp cleaner, a baby wipe (without alcohol) or rag with a gentle soap.


Google "'90s nostalgia" and your search results will not disappoint. It's fair to say that over the past five years, wistful listicles documenting the brown lipstick and butterfly clips we left in the old millennium have conquered the web. After all, the teens of the '90s are now in their 30s and running the internet. It only makes sense that their nostalgia would enjoy a healthy renaissance.
But I have to admit that '90s nostalgia falls a little flat for me. I'm 24, so in the '90s, I was just a little kid. While I can certainly appreciate a throwback photo of Winona Ryder or a quiz informing me which My So-Called Life character I most closely resemble (Angela Chase, duh), my teendom didn't begin until a few years later.
I, like many millennials born at the tail end of our generation, am instead a teen of the aughts. My awareness and participation in beauty trends coincided not with Alanis Morissette and Dawson's Creek but with the Olsen twins, Gilmore Girls, and Avril Lavigne. I'm talking thick black eyeliner, glossy pink lips, bone-straight hair, and Bath & Body Works perfume. Remember?
I figured it was high time we 20-somethings quit pretending we're teens of the '90s and acknowledge our true nostalgia: the early to mid-2000s.
So for one week, I decided to re-create an iconic celebrity look from the era I best remember, using the very products that were popular at the time. The goal was simply to cake my lips in Lancôme Juicy Tubes, douse myself in Victoria's Secret Love Spell, and have a blast. But what actually ended up happening, I did not expect.
Swipe the arrows below to reveal my nostalgic trip through the early-2000s!
Behold: Lindsay Lohan at the 2003 premiere of the cinematic masterpiece Freaky Friday.
For this look, I decided to focus primarily on makeup, mostly because I don't have enough hair to achieve LiLo's glorious style (do I spot a Bumpit back there?!). Of course, in the actual early 2000s, my hair was as long and layered as Lindsay's, but since then, I've opted for a bang-less blunt bob. The #gloup is real.
To complete my look, I acquired a pan of bright blue Maybelline eye shadow, some roll-on body glitter, a bottle of Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar (my once signature scent), and a stick of black Benefit Badgal liner.
I wore so much black eyeliner in the aughts that I could apply it to my waterline with one hand. And no mirror. In a moving car. I hadn't worn black liner on my lower waterline for years, of course, but I was excited to whip it out and show off my skills.
What I absolutely did not expect was the emotional spiral I experienced once I did.
Down to the shade of Juicy Tube, this was exactly how I did my makeup when I was a tween. And like something out of Freaky Friday itself, when I looked in the mirror, I saw 13-year-old me—all her debilitating insecurity and desperation to be cool.
You know how when you smell a familiar scent, it instantly brings you back to the time and place where you first smelled it? That's what this felt like. I didn't even know makeup could do that.
Even my co-workers noticed how quiet and nervous I seemed all day. "The makeup is cute!" they assured me. I even got a few compliments on the eye shadow. It didn't matter.
The remarkable thing was that until this lighthearted beauty experiment, I had completely forgotten how much I hated being 13. I'd forgotten the fact that it took time to build the confidence I know now, that I didn't always feel this secure. This was a visceral reminder.
I wiped the eyeliner off in the bathroom before the workday even finished, at once marveling at the emotional power of makeup and hoping Tuesday would be better.
If the term #goals had existed in 2002, Avril Lavigne would have been it for me. The girl was my icon. I related to Avril because we were both small in stature and unexpectedly foul-mouthed, and I admired her for not giving a damn about miniskirts or fake tanner or traditional femininity.
This look put me in a better mental place. For one, the extra hundred layers of Badgal liner made me feel like the punky badass I was never brave enough to be 10 years ago. The Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker was a winning conversation piece at the office, as was the Hard Candy nail polish (the kind that comes with a collectible ring). But most importantly, to pull a true Avril, I finally got to straighten my hair with a Chi.
All my fanciest middle and high school friends had Chi flatirons. I owned some strange off-brand contraption that required you to fill it with water like a clothing iron. But I never even asked for a Chi; it seemed too far-fetched a request.
My first Chi may have come a decade too late, but I still felt vindicated. Upon its arrival, I ceremoniously slipped the tool out of its well-crafted cardboard packaging, uncoiled the cord, and plugged it in. It heated up in seconds, and after just a few runs, my hair was the straightest it had literally ever been. The middle schooler within in me nearly wept with joy. Finally, the nostalgic fun I'd been hoping for.
In my humble opinion, the early 2000s were the flyest era in the Olsen twins' beauty evolution. Need I remind you of the ABC Family one-season wonder So Little Time? Mary-Kate had the straight, flippy hair; Ashley had the tight barrel curls. I knew this 2001 glory had to make it into my week of throwback beauty.
I decided to base my look on Mary-Kate. (Growing up, she was always my favorite twin.) There were three key elements: the outward hair flip, the intense pink blush, and the ultra-glossy lip.
I used my precious new Chi to straighten my hair, curving the tool outward at the ends to create that famous flip. To lock the style in place, I used none other than Herbal Essences hair spray.
I applied a bubblegum-colored blush from Hard Candy, with a generous hand. For lips, I grabbed the nearest pink color and topped it off with a shiny coat of MAC's clear lip glass. And for a final touch, I spritzed myself all over with Victoria's Secret Love Spell.
When the look was finished, I felt like the coolest girl in school. I certainly never looked (or smelled) this trendy 10 years ago, but getting the chance to pull it off now was almost as good.
This look also solicited the best reactions from my 20-something co-workers. They geeked out over my hair flip and bright pink blush, like they'd suddenly found themselves back in middle school at a sleepover or school dance.
My hair was already fried to a crisp by the time I whipped out my crimper. Somehow, I had also forgotten how brutally we used to abuse our hair—heat styling it day in and day out, coloring it with box dye.
I also never wear earrings anymore—though I owned about eight pairs of hoops in middle school, I keep my jewelry fairly minimal now. The hoops felt heavy and itchy in my ears, and it suddenly occurred to me how strange it was that 10 years ago, I never left the house without some sort of cumbersome object dangling from each ear. Oh, the perspective a decade can bring.
By Friday, I think it's safe to say I'd gone a little overboard. But I stand by it. This Hilary Duff look from the 2002 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was too perfect not to attempt.
Lizzie McGuire mania peaked that year. What 15-year-old television superstar wouldn't want to grace the orange carpet in green eye shadow and a sky-high ponytail adorned with pens? My version is admittedly a bit outrageous (did I mention my hair was fried?). But I will say, as a writer, it was delightfully handy to have a headful of writing instruments. I actually didn't mind the green shadow, either. It was a nice departure from the traumatizing eyeliner of Monday, at least.
After all, there's a reason it takes a few decades for beauty trends to circle back again. We need enough time to forget how awkward we were the first time. So until black eyeliner and glossy lips make a comeback, I'll stick with my grown-up highlight and unstyled crop.
I'm hanging on to this Juicy Tube, though.

A few things have changed in this beautiful country since the NI's last profile, but not its leader. Life President Banda lives on and the people respectfully await his demise.
The economic boom of the 1970s is over, but so is their political terror. Though the press still fawns, and the police, the Party and the 'Young Pioneers still wield their truncheons, the atmosphere is easing. The succession is likely to be awkward, as the main contender for power is unscrupulous and unpopular.
'An independent Scotland would have had one colony - Malawi,' wrote a Malawian historian. Scottish missionaries called it Lakeland (Nyasaland) and educated a critical, confident intelligentsia which in the 1950s led African resistance to the white settler-led Federation of the Rhodesias and Nyasaland. But out of Lakeland was born the Land of Fire (Malawi) where political criticism has never been tolerated since Independence, and power and wealth are concentrated among white estate owners and a few senior government personnel. Banda's own company, Press Holdings, controls almost half the economy, from supermarkets to processing and packaging firms.
Malawi is a visitor's paradise: 'the warm heart of Africa' has good roads, beautiful craftwork and polite officials. Lake Malawi's beaches are one of the places where white South Africans can go to meet their international peers.
Yet the warm heart bleeds. Though the climate is kind and the people industrious, farming every spare inch of tillable land, malnutrition is rife and infant mortality among the highest in the world. Health and education are not priorities for government spending: pomp, palaces and prestige buildings are.
Low education levels and low wages are meant to keep people on the land. Migration to South Africa has been discouraged for the same reason. But the land is being privatized for tobacco estates to provide the Big Men with financial security.
War in Mozambique is forcing thousands across the border into Malawi's over-crowded refugee camps, where international relief programmes further skew the tiny local economy. At present, Malawi hosts almost a million refugees.
Though still dependent on South Africa, Malawi has recently improved relations with Mozambique and Tanzania - its 'socialist' neighbours - in preparation for the impending changes in South Africa.
The new capital, Lilongwe, however remains an ugly monument to apartheid city planning. Its space-age downtown offices and shopping malls are miles from black residential areas - but handily close to the bungalows of the aid and diplomatic brigades.
Monetary unit: Malawian kwacha Without mineral resources or factories, Malawi has long served as a cheap labour pool for the industrialized regions of Southern Africa. Many commercial farmworkers in Zimbabwe are of Malawian extraction, but prevented by poverty from returning home. Peasant farming is the country's mainstay but plantation cash crops like tobacco offer rich rewards to the wealthy. Main exports are tobacco and tea; main imports are fuel, machinery, processed foodstuffs.
AIDS is widespread but not officially acknowledged by the government.
Culture: The majority are chiChewa speaking, matrilineal people in the centre; the minority are chiTumbuka speaking, patrilineal and live in the North. Nyanja, Lomwe and Yao in South.
Religion: Traditional ancestral beliefs, cults and secret societies co-exist with Christianity.
Sources: World Bank Report 1990 and information supplied by the author.
Wide gap between poor and rich.
Dependent on world commodity prices.
Traditionally strong; little violence against them.

The symptoms I have are small (sometimes red) bumps that itch badly. Most of them are on my inner thighs and run backward onto my buttocks, a few on my lower back and across my stomach, wrists, a few on my legs, and on the tops of my hands (some on the webbing between fingers). They itch badly, mostly in the evening or right when I wake up. I have been able to sleep through the night without medication or itch cream, but before bed and right when I wake up is the worst, and sometimes through the day. Some of the bumps - the first ones - are healing/have healed, but I still get new ones, sometimes many over one night.


Welcome to the very first post of the 'Comedy Blog'. My name is Steve Irving (writer, comedian & sometimes a plausible lawyer and gardener) and I will be bringing you news on comedy, comedians, festivals, stand-up, comedy gigs and reviews with a host more of top dog information.
This blog has been too many years in the thinking, but finally instead of doing the gardening having just arrived back from 'Edinburgh Fringe 2015', I decided to put pen to paper and do something constructive both on the social media and the Internet. Admittedly, this will evolve on a regular basis, of course time allowing and in time, I hope that it will be a great resource for many a comedian, comic and any anorak of comedy.
So, first post completed! Evolution has begun! Roll on post two and onwards and upwards we go!

Q: Inject dependencies into ES2015 module Is it possible to inject dependencies into ES2015 modules like in other programming languages like C# or Java? If I import a module I create a hard dependency to it and can not change it later at runtime. For example I have following JavaScript code:
import Animal from './dog';

class Person {
  feedAnimal() {
    new Animal().feed();
  }
}

I am importing the dog module. But what if I want to change it to a cat? At the moment I have to modify line 1 by hand but in some situations I want it configurable from the outside so that under some conditions there should be a cat and under some other conditions it should be a cat. All that things that can be done with classical dependency injection.
I know there are some DI frameworks out there like Scatter, Electrolyte, Wire and so on but unfortunately most of them require some special syntax and are not made for ES2015 modules.

A: You cannot dynamically define dependencies. See this question and its accepted answer:

Question: ES6 variable import name in node.js?
Answer: Not with the import statement. import and export are defined in such a way that they are statically analyzable, so they cannot depend on runtime information.

A: You can use inject-loader to achieve this if you are bundling with Webpack.
Hopefully this helps someone who stumbles upon this old post.

A: I moved over to SystemJS. With SystemJS you can make dynamic imports like System.import('foo').then(() => console.log('Loaded));
Another advantage is that System will be the new ECMAScript standard module loader system.

Q: Event xforms-model-construct-done behaviour In my form I would like to call web service after to form is loaded after publishing. I've created custom XBL control for it, where I have :
<xf:group id="component-group">
    <xf:action ev:event="xforms-enabled" ev:target="component-group">
        <xf:send ev:event="xforms-enabled" submission="my-submission"/>
    </xf:action>
</xf:group>

But it doesn't work as expected : my submission is sent everytime when I add new element in FormBuilder or change a name of some other controls. Generally speaking submission is sent when my form is changing in some way.
Now I want submission to be sent ONLY when I publish my form and someone would open it to fill (and of course when I press "Test" in FormBuilder, but I guess it's the same as filling form after publishing).
I was trying something like this :
<xf:group id="component-group">
    <xf:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" ev:target="component-group">
        <xf:send ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" submission="my-submission"/>
    </xf:action>
</xf:group>

Unfortunately it's not working, this way submission is not sent at all. Any thoughts ?

A: This is due to the fact that XBL components are live at design time too. So you need a way to test whether the component is running within Form Builder or not.
There should be a function for this, really, but there isn't (I added this to the list of functions we should add to the API here). You can do:

<xf:group id="component-group">
    <xf:var name="fr-params" value="xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')"/>
    <xf:action
        event="xforms-enabled"
        target="component-group"
        if="not($fr-params/app = 'orbeon' and $fr-params/form = 'builder')">
        <xf:send submission="my-submission"/>
    </xf:action>
</xf:group>

A few minor comments:

*

*you don't need to (in fact shouldn't) place event attributes on nested actions

*you don't even need the ev prefix

Six Reasons Why There Won't Be a Serious Contest for Erie County Executive in 2015
April 14, 2015 November 11, 2015 / Ken Kruly
In Erie County this year there will be 153 offices on various election ballots. All members of the County Legislature will be elected this year, as well as all members of the Buffalo Common Council. Supervisors will be selected in Cheektowaga, Lancaster, Tonawanda, West Seneca and other towns. A mayor will be elected in Lackawanna. Two seats on the Erie County Court, a new Family Court seat and two Supreme Court justices for this district will be selected. The major contest in the county, however, should be for Erie County Executive.
The Erie County Executive prepares and administers an annual budget of more than $1.4 billion dollars. The county has a work force of more than 4,000 people, making it one of the top 10 employers in the county. The county executive appoints scores of officials in positions high and low in the county government.
The office will be on the ballot on November 3. But there will not be a seriously contested election. Mark Poloncarz will be re-elected county executive.
The Republican party in Erie County holds the offices of county clerk, comptroller, and sheriff. Frank Sedita was elected District Attorney with bi-partisan support. The Republican/Conservative/Independent coalition controls the county legislature. The party has controlled the office of county executive for 39 of the 55 years that there has been a county executive. But they will not win the office in 2015.
Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw and County Clerk Chris Jacobs have taken themselves out the race. Party leadership has settled on Assemblyman Ray Walter as their candidate. Mr. Walter became a member of the Erie County Legislature in 2009, and was elected to the State Assembly from Amherst in 2011.
Having experienced a few county executive campaigns over the years (is there anyone but me who remembers the ditty, "Dillon will do it, Mike will get it done…"), I can say with some authority that the best thing Ray Walter can do at this time is to download a countdown app on his phone or tablet that counts the days until election day, November 3rd. It's going to be a long and mostly not-fun time. Here's why:
Mark Poloncarz has presided over the preparation and management of three county budgets so far. The budgets have been balanced and have produced small surpluses. The fund balance is healthy. Taxes are down a little from where they were four years ago. Walter will tell people that Poloncarz tried to raise taxes in 2013 and the legislature beat that back. It's true, but frankly that's inside baseball. The public won't focus on that any more than they will on the tax cut that the legislature approved for 2015. I don't know how you as a reader of this blog made out on your county taxes this year, but I can tell you that our county tax cut wasn't enough to buy a pizza.
The Bills. Poloncarz, with help from Albany, negotiated a new lease that pretty much keeps the team here for ten years. The Pegulas' purchase of the team solidified that. Poloncarz also stood up to the NFL owners when they tried to tell Erie County that a new stadium is needed. The stadium question will probably get serious before the end of the new county executive term, which begins next January 1, but for now, things are cool with the Bills.
Making sure the trains run on time. Okay, that expression is not exactly relevant for Erie County. The correct analogy is making sure the snow is plowed. We have had some major weather events here over the past couple of winters. While the folks in the town of Boston may not agree, the general consensus has been that Poloncarz did an excellent job of getting the snow plowed and keeping the public informed about what they needed to know to get through it.
There have been no scandals in Erie County Hall. That's the way it's mostly been over the years, and so perhaps the routine doesn't merit much attention. It's just good to know.
When I worked on the 1979 campaign of Frank McGuire for county executive, my friend Steve Banko and I were assigned to produce the economic development position paper for the campaign. We labored long and hard (actually one or two evenings) and came up with a report that the Courier printed in toto – an entire page. But when Steve and I took a look at what we produced we concluded that we had prepared was a list of 49 action verbs – "create, develop, produce, encourage, initiate, lead, organize, grow, etc., etc., etc." My point here is that Poloncarz will claim that he helped improve the economy around here. There is less unemployment and lots of construction going on. But no county executive can have any major impact on the economy. It's just not in the power of that office. But the fact that employment is better and there are cranes in the sky creates a positive feeling in the community, and to some degree an incumbent officeholder benefits from that.
Poloncarz is not a great political fundraiser, but he has a good amount in the bank. Walter does not, and raising money for a campaign that is perceived as simply a placeholder is very difficult.
Over the past forty years there has been more than one occasion in Erie County when the incumbent administration overplayed their hand in a re-election campaign, when they were holding a substantial lead. Games were played with the budget to try to make themselves look better politically. It really didn't matter to the election result, but major problems developed after the election. (I think I may still have a "Don't blame me, I voted for Swarts" bumper sticker from 1984.) There is value to the community, therefore, for a challenger to hold the incumbent's feet to the fire. Doing so tests the incumbent, who might be tempted to do things that he doesn't really need to do.
The election for Erie County Executive this year will probably be boring. The results, for all practical purposes, are in. Political junkies will need to find something else to watch in 2015. Hey, the Bills are looking pretty good!
