Greece's Last Romaniote Jews Remember a Catastrophe
The ancient Romaniote community, neither Ashkenazi nor Sephardic, was almost totally decimated by the Nazis - and fears for its future.

When the Jews of Ioannina gathered in their whitewashed-stone synagogue over the weekend, it was to commemorate 70 years since the Nazis destroyed their community.

But the March 30 gathering also served to highlight a source of present-day sadness: the withering of the unique 2,300 year-old Romaniote Jewish tradition.
Ioannina, a postcard-pretty town in northwestern Greece with a medieval fortress perched by a bright blue lake and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, once was the center of Romaniote Jewish life. Today, however, the community in Ioannina numbers fewer than 50 members, most of them elderly. The last time the community celebrated a bar mitzvah was in 2000.
The community's leaders fear for its future.
"It is very difficult," said Moses Elisaf, the community's president. "We try to do our best to keep the traditions, but the numbers are very hard."
"I don't like to think about the future. It is very hard to be optimistic," he said, standing on the peaceful lakefront Mavili Square, where the Nazis loaded the town's Jews onto trucks to be shipped to Auschwitz.
The Romaniote Jews, neither Ashkenazi nor Sephardic, emerged from the first Jewish communities of Europe. Records indicate the first Jewish presence in Greece dating back to 300 BCE. A ruined second-century BCE synagogue on the Aegean island of Delos is believed to be the oldest discovered in the Diaspora.
These Jews became known as the Romaniotes, speaking their own language, Yevanic, or Judeo-Greek, a version of Greek infused with Hebrew and written with the Hebrew script.
Romaniote synagogues had a unique layout. They had their own religious traditions and prayer book, the Mahzor Romania. Much of the worship was in Yevanic, and the tunes, including for reading the Torah, were heavily influenced by Byzantine music.
"The Romaniote tradition is hugely important. It is a pre-Diasporic tradition based on the Talmud Yerushalmi," said Zanet Battinou, the director of the Jewish Museum of Greece and herself a Romaniote who grew up in Ioannina.
But it is a community and a tradition that has long been in decline.
Following the expulsion of the Jews of Spain in 1492, many Sephardic Jews found refuge in the Ottoman Empire that then ruled Greece. Soon, major Sephardic communities sprang up, most notably in Thessaloniki, known as the Jerusalem of the Balkans.
The preexisting Romaniote communities often were absorbed into the larger, wealthier Sephardic Ladino-speaking ones that eventually became largely synonymous with Greek Jewry.
"People don't know about the Romaniote ancient Jewish community," Battinou said. "Thessaloniki was so massive and successful, it overshadowed everything."
It was only on isolated islands and in the rugged mountains of western Greece that the Romaniotes remained the dominant tradition, and Ioannina was the largest of these communities.
By the start of the 20th century, some 4,000 Romaniote Jews lived in Ioannina. But amid the economic hardship and the turmoil that accompanied the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, many joined their Greek compatriots and emigrated.
Most went to the United States and Palestine, setting up Romaniote synagogues in New York City and Jerusalem. Later, a third was established in Tel Aviv. At the start of World War II, about 2,000 Jews remained in Ioannina.
On March 25, 1944, the German Nazi occupiers rounded up the Jews of Ioannina. As snow fell, they were put into open trucks and taken to a nearby city. From there, a nine-day rail journey took them to Auschwitz.
The names of the town's 1,832 Jews who were murdered are carved on marble tablets on the walls of the synagogue. Among the dead were more than 500 children under the age of 13.
Only 112 Ioannina Jews survived the death camps. Another 69 escaped the roundup, hiding with Christian families or fleeing into the mountains, where some fought with the Greek resistance. When they returned to Ioannina, many found their properties looted and homes occupied.
But it was not just the people who were wiped out. Centuries of tradition disappeared, too.
"Oral tradition is very dependent on the third generation — all the grandfathers and grandmothers disappeared, were murdered, all at once," Battinou said. Among the few survivors was her grandmother Zanet, after whom she is named.
"The youth who survived only perpetuated what parts they remembered," she said.
While Ioannina was the largest and the most iconic Romaniote community, several other small communities that identify with the Romaniote tradition continue to exist in places like Chalkida and Volos. But today, most of the remaining Romaniote Jews, like their Sephardic compatriots, live in Athens, Greece's largest Jewish community. Athens has one Romaniote synagogue, built in 1906, but it is used only on the High Holidays.
Meanwhile, the Romaniote Jews who moved to the United States and Israel have intermingled with the larger Jewish communities.
Several Israeli Romaniotes attended the anniversary commemorations, drawn by family ties.
Yosef Baruch came with his brother and his uncle at the behest of his 90-year-old grandmother who survived the Nazis and moved to Israel after the war. Baruch says he has never prayed at the Romaniote synagogue in Jerusalem.
"It's a tradition that was destroyed in the Holocaust," he said.
None of the American Romaniotes attended the memorial ceremony.
In Greece, with the Jewish community so devastated after the war, there was no place for separate communities. Most religious services are now held according to Sephardic rites.
Today, only Cantor Haim Ischakis, who led the memorial prayer service, knows how to chant the Torah in the Romaniote tradition — something he learned from his father, also a cantor, who survived the camps.
"I am the only one left," Ischakis said. He is teaching his two sons, but if they don't take up his profession, the only examples left will be recordings on YouTube.
In fact, the Internet is emerging as the most likely tool for preserving Romaniote tradition. And the impetus for this online push has come from an unlikely source.
The Canadian ambassador to Greece, Robert Peck, who was instrumental in helping organize the commemorations, with Canada heading the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, noted the lack of available information about the Jews of Ioannina.
At his behest, the New Media Lab at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University designed a website detailing Ioannina's Jewish history, and a soon-to-be-launched app will let people explore Jewish sites in the town and listen to survivor testimonies.
"I came to Ioannina and visited the synagogue, and I felt it was very important to carry beyond the borders of Greece what Ioannina represents, the legacy of the Jewish community here," Peck said.
Still, the Romaniote Jews hope that through their efforts and dedication, something of their legacy, their community, will survive in the real world.
"It is very precious to me, and I try to pass it on to my children and hope they appreciate that from their mothers' side, they inherit such a unique tradition," Battinou said. "It is still alive, it is not extinct, yet."

Just got some pictures from my fellow Panton collector "My Panton Home" who picked up this "New Wave" table lamp for me. It was made in 1985 but the tag from Holmegaard was still intact! It was much heavier than expected with glass, steel and led. Looking forward to soon see it lit up! The lamp bulb is hidden in the base and the light goes up in the semi-transparant shade from below, quite cool technique!

SMSF establishments tipped to dwindle
An automated advice provider believes the new licensing regime has raised the standard of advice for SMSF establishments, which will ultimately see a decline in the number set up each year.
Plenty Plus co-founder Greg Einfeld says many accountants were "advising their clients to set up SMSFs where they perhaps wouldn't have met ASIC's criteria and expectations".
Mr Einfeld told SMSF Adviser this is demonstrated by the fact that 30 per cent of the advice requests for SMSF establishments by accountants for their clients on the Plenty Plus system are rejected.
Plenty Plus co-founder Josh Golombick said the advice is usually rejected because the fund balance falls below the $200,000 minimum balance recommended by ASIC.
The system may also advise against an individual setting up a SMSF if they do not have enough time to dedicate to managing the fund or they don't have enough investment knowledge.
One of the implications of this, is that there'll be fewer SMSFs established in the future, Mr Einfeld said.
"There are a whole lot of SMSFs that have been established by accountants up till now, where the members have say $150,000, they don't have any investment experience or they don't have the time to put into being a trustee," he said.
"Over time, the bar will get raised and those types of cases won't result in SMSF establishments going forward. So I have no doubt that the number or SMSF establishments over time will come down just for that reason."

In his new book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, former (thankfully) Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens outlines the six Constitutional Amendments that he would like to see changed.
According to the book's description, Stevens outlines "six specific ways in which the Constitution should be amended in order to protect our democracy and the safety and wellbeing of American citizens."
Given his liberal background (a 2003 statistical analysis of Supreme Court voting patterns found Stevens to be the most liberal member of the Court) it's probably no surprise that one of the things that Stevens would change to increase our "safety and wellbeing" is the Second Amendment.
Stevens, however, believes that it is implied that these arms should only be kept by members of the militia and would like to see the Second Amendment changed in a way that would seriously limit our constitutional right to keep our firearms.
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.
If this were to come to pass, I can foresee a whole lot of militias forming across the country.
An obviously biased piece of rhetoric was published on Bloomberg BusinessWeek (it's important to note that this is the website owned by Bloomberg LP, which was founded by the infamous former Nanny Mayor Mike Bloomberg of New York City, a vocal opponent of gun rights). In the article, Stevens is lauded as "brilliant" and "an intellectual force to be reckoned with."
The author of the article then continues to paint a picture of gun owners being members of some sort of fringe of society. "For a significant minority of Americans, firearms represent individualism, independence, and self-reliance."
Stevens was the longest serving member of the Supreme Court, serving from 1975-2010. He is 93.
Gun owners, libertarians, and conservatives across the country must have heaved a deep sigh of relief when Stevens stepped down from his seat on the Supreme Court. We can all be thankful that his book is only his own rhetoric, to be read by nodding pseudointellectual liberals and then discussed at hipster dinner parties, and that he no longer has the ability to personally reshape the laws of this land.

1989 – 2019: Celebrating 30 years
Thu 26, Sep 2019
Since 1989, the Continence Foundation of Australia has advocated for generations of Australians, providing awareness, education and information to achieve its vision of a community free from the stigma and restrictions of incontinence.
Just over thirty years ago there was growing concern about the way in which people with incontinence were able to find help, particularly older Australians who wanted to live longer independently in their homes.
A small group of passionate health professionals with the support of the Australian Council on the Ageing (ACOTA) met to discuss how they could collaborate to improve the standard of care for Australians living with incontinence.
A landmark national workshop followed, bringing together medical specialists, nurses, physiotherapists and representatives from industry, non-government organisations and government agencies to develop the first national strategy on incontinence.
Continence Foundation of Australia CEO Rowan Cockerell said the commitment of these early visionaries put incontinence on the health agenda for the first time.
"Importantly, this early work revealed that incontinence could no longer be considered a normal part of ageing – that incontinence was preventable, and our real focus should be promoting continence."
Many of those involved in the early development of the Foundation have dedicated their working lives to helping improve the quality of life for Australians affected by incontinence.
Over three decades much has been achieved in advancing the cause of incontinence in Australia.
Australian Government support has enabled the Foundation to deliver world- class programs and a diverse range of projects to Australians who experience bladder and bowel problems.
One of the most important programs, the National Continence Helpline, was launched in 1999. The free service provides confidential advice about bladder and bowel control problems, local referrals and product information, as well as resources for consumers and clinicians. Specialist nurses and customer service officers have responded to more than four hundred thousand enquiries in the past 20 years.
The Helpline has also supported many thousands of Australians who have benefited from the Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS) that assists eligible people who have permanent and severe incontinence meet some of the cost of their continence products.
Mrs Cockerell said raising awareness of continence management and treatment across all life stages has always been a key priority.
"We've conducted some memorable and at times cheeky campaigns over the years that have really made an impact and helped reduce stigma associated with incontinence.
"We've come a long way since the word 'incontinence' was first uttered on radio and we've participated in hundreds of interviews and articles across all media platforms."
Digital technology has been embraced as a way to deliver awareness messages - starting with the launch of the Foundation's first website in 2003. The Foundation now has multiple websites targeting different groups at risk of incontinence, as well as two popular apps.
Another key function of the Foundation is to support the continence workforce with membership, resources, education programs, scholarships and the annual National Conference on Incontinence (NCOI). The conference, established in 1987, is the premier Australian meeting for health professionals working in bladder, bowel and pelvic health.
Over the years, the Foundation has also created and distributed millions of resources to the public, health professionals and community organisations.
Supported by state branches and continence resource centres, health promotion officers have delivered more than one thousand presentations to community forums, conferences and expos, many in rural and remote areas.
The role of advocacy, particularly in relation to equal access to continence support services, is just as important today as in the past when the Foundation successfully led a campaign for a national funding subsidy for continence support products.
Foundation President, Associate Professor Michael Murray AM, said the organisation is proud of its considerable achievements over three decades.
"Working with health professionals, industry and with the support of the Australian Government, the Foundation has improved the lives of people with incontinence and their carers.
"With growing incidence of chronic illness and an ageing population, it is inevitable that more people will experience incontinence and require care.
"With ongoing support, the Foundation will continue to provide a comprehensive approach to continence management and improve the quality of life for Australians with bladder and bowel problems and pelvic floor dysfunction."


Removal of the legacy code which introduced dead execution paths and caused extension clashes.
Removal of some global state - URLArrayObject is now injected.
New pattern for subsite support: generation of multiple copies of cache into directories, one per configured domain.
Architecturally, the module is now split into two logical parts: implementers and engines. Implementers are extensions or objects which describe the desired caching behaviour via two new interfaces: StaticallyPublishable objects provide URLs to refresh, and StaticPublishingTrigger objects cause other objects to be refreshed during the engine run. Engines inspect arbitrary objects through these interfaces to find out which URLs should be refreshed.
The module provides a set of default implementations - a nightly engine to rebuild all Page objects, as well as an engine that triggers on page publishing and updates the cache partially. Assuming appropriate engines are written, the same interfaces can be used to describe caching behaviour of any object.

"The cost of living is going up, but paychecks aren't keeping up."
Are paychecks failing to keep up with inflation?
By Louis Jacobson on Wednesday, January 30th, 2019 at 2:09 p.m.
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., hit a lot of subjects during her campaign launch event in Oakland, Calif., on Jan. 27, from criminal justice to education to health care. At one point in her speech, Harris addressed the state of the economy.
Is Harris's assertion about wages accurate? Broadly, no. Wages haven't soared over the past 40 years — or over the past five — but they haven't fallen behind inflation, either.
When we contacted the Harris campaign, they offered news articles and studies that they said supported their position. However, most of this evidence for lagging paychecks was for particular slices of time and doesn't reflect the overall trend.
Wages, once adjusted for inflation, have gone up both in the recent past and the longer term.
It's important to note that median wage growth has hardly been robust over the full four-decade span — workers experienced a gain of 6 percent above inflation. The financial crisis of 2008 had a big impact on Americans' sense of economic security.
But it's wrong to say that wages haven't outpaced inflation.
The increase has been particularly clear since 2014, which was when wages finally began climbing again after the losses of the Great Recession.
Between the second quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2018, inflation-adjusted wages rose by almost 8 percent, the data show. And wage gains have exceeded inflation for lower-income workers as well as higher-income workers, economists said.
Another measurement — average weekly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees, adjusted for inflation — shows wages are also up in the shorter and longer term.
It's also consistent with annual rises after 2014 in median household income, a different statistical measurement.
All in all, various data sources agree that "paychecks are keeping up with inflation," said Jed Kolko, the chief economist for the jobs site Indeed.com.
One subset of the workforce does fit Harris' description: Male workers in the lower half of the income spectrum. They account for a bit more than a quarter of the workforce.
A tool created by the liberal Economic Policy Institute allows users to slice and dice federal wage data in a variety of ways. On the suggestion of Brookings Institution economist Gary Burtless, we looked at real hourly wages for working men at or below the median. The following chart shows wages at the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and median percentiles.
This chart shows that lower-earning male workers have seen their inflation-adjusted wages fall since 1973. Any real wage gains in 2018, which are not yet available, are unlikely to have been large enough to erase the decline since 1973, Burtless said.
That said, even these workers have seen their wages rise above the rate of inflation since at least 2014, following steep declines from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.
Burtless said that this wage stagnation among lower-income men has been more than balanced out by gains among lower-income working women, which is why median wages overall have been rising.
"Viewed over the long time span, Sen. Harris's claim is correct for important segments of the working population," Burtless said. "However, for wage earners more generally, the claim is wrong. Workers up and down the wage distribution have seen gains in real hourly pay since 1979, since 2000, and since 2014."
Harris said, "The cost of living is going up, but paychecks aren't keeping up."
Overall, wages have hardly skyrocketed, but they have risen faster than inflation since 1979, and especially since 2014. One subset of workers — men in the lower end of the wage spectrum — has seen their pay fail to keep up with inflation since 1973. However, Harris used general terms in her speech.
Editor's note: We heard from several readers who disagreed with or had questions about this rating. We've addressed their questions in a follow-up story published Feb. 7, 2019. Read our follow-up story.

How To Handle Rumors
What would you do if you heard that a rumour about you has been spreading? What would you do if you heard that 100 people have heard the rumor? What if 1.000 people heard it? 1.000.000 people? 10.000.000 people? A continent's worth of people?
Just recently a rumor has been circulating that Facebook is shutting down because its founder Mark Zuckerberg is tired running it. He doesn't care about the USD 50 billion value of the social network website, not to mention the 500 million that Goldman-Sachs has just poured into Facebook, and he just wants his life back.
I got online and went to Facebook.com to see if they have issued a statement regarding the rumor. When I got there, I was puzzled. I expected a big announcement, or a banner, or at least a box containing a big title, "FACEBOOK IS NOT CLOSING" with link to the lengthy and detailed document rebutting the rumor.
There was no formal announcement. All I found was this:
Just another status on the wall. They didn't make a big deal out of it.
This wasn't the first rumor about Facebook. A while back, Facebook was said to go fully commercial and it would collect fees from its users. Another rumor said that it was closing down because its servers could not cope with the millions of users that used it every day. It was also said that Facebook used photos and data of its users for its advertising without consent from the owners. All of them proved to be untrue.
Hence, the nonchalant attitude. Facebook treated the rumor just like any other rumor it had faced in the past. They did not worry about it, instead they kept working as usual.
There is a good saying that goes, "If you want rainbow, you have to put up with the rain." If you want success, you will face rumors and bad mouthings. With over 500 million users, and its recently beating Google to earn the title as the most visited site in the US in 2010, it is just natural that Facebook became a magnet for rumors and envy.
It will be difficult to expect that you can achieve success without making some people envious. When it happens to you, just remember to keep working as usual. You have somewhere better to go and something more important to do than to brood over the untrue rumors about you.

When In Doubt


When healthy, the oral microbiome supports and protects the delicate mucous membranes aswell as the surface of the teeth themselves.
But in spite of the best intentions to perform daily brushing and flossing, many people still end up with periodontal disease, often referred to as "gum disease". The result can be deterioration of the gum and tooth loss. Additionally inadequate oral hygiene, as well as poor diet and lifestyle factors, drugs, and disease, can disrupt this delicate microbiome balance.
When the oral microbiome becomes unbalanced it results in a weakened immune system of the oral cavity. This opens the door to gum disease caused by excessive growth of pathogenic oral bacteria. Gum disease further weakens our overall immune system.
Periodontal disease doesn't just stay in the mouth. It can spread pathogens throughout the body, resulting in more serious diseases. Recent research has found htat the mouth is a potential reservoir for bacteria that can promote intestinal disease. New science is showing that periodontal disease has far-reaching consequences that extend into most body systems, largely the result of inflammatory changes and other signaling pathways disruptions throughout the body. Gum disease is now associated with disorders of the brain, heart, lungs, kidney, liver, bone, and blood vessels – any of which may promote aging and shorten lifespan.
These two probiotics when taken as daily lozenge, can work together to protect oral health.
Rebalancing the oral microbiome can reduce bacteria-laden plaque, resulting in significant reductions in whole-body inflammation. This means that improving our tooth and gum health is vital not just for those oral structures, but also for the preservation of our health in practically all body systems.

Personal injury occurs when a person has suffered some form of injury, either physical or psychological, or both, as the result of an incident, either accidental or intentional. The most common type of personal injury claims are traffic accidents, accidents at the workplace or at home, slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents.
Negligence rests on the duty of a reasonable person to exercise due care in his conduct toward others under the circumstances. In other words, negligence is the failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent person would use under similar circumstances. The scenarios are many.
Medical malpractice can be seen as a subset of personal injury but it is very specific. Medical malpractice is an act or omission by a health care provider (clinician or hospital) which deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and which causes injury to the patient. In other words, medical malpractice is professional negligence by a healthcare provider that causes an injury.
Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations and in many cases associated with divorce. However, family law is also concerned with domestic partnerships; issues arising during marriage, including spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse & neglect; and the termination of the relationship and corollary matters including divorce, annulment, property settlements, alimony, and parental orders. The most common-place issues are child custody and visitation, and child support awards.
Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse. New York requires fault to end a marriage and New York is not a community property state, but rather based on equitable distribution. In my practice, uncontested divorce is the instrument of choice because the two parties are able to come to a mutual agreement about the property, children and support issues. This is formalized in a separation agreement. It is usually the most cost-effective process to terminate a marriage. Litigated divorces account for a small fraction of divorces and exhaust assets and resources that could otherwise be allocated in an uncontested matter. Prenuptial agreements are documents drawn prior to marriage that sets forth, "What would happen if the marriage is terminated prior to death?" In doing so, it usually leaves little to negotiate or argue about at divorce.
Closings are real estate transactions and are formal meetings usually between the seller and buyer that conclude the sale and purchase of real estate. If a money lender is involved then that party is also part of the meeting. The sale and or purchase of property require contracts, deeds, insurance documents, appraisals, inspections and the like. Occupancy agreements may also be necessary.
Alcohol and drug-related driving offenses are usually categorized by severity, beginning with a driving infraction, then elevated to a misdemeanor, and ultimately a felony. Most cases are resolved in the local city, town, or village court. Felony DWIs that cannot be favorably resolved would be recommended to a criminal trial attorney.
Traffic Tickets can sometimes be concluded by mail but oftentimes requires court appearances and perhaps even a trial.
Business transactions such as formation of limited liability corporations and limited liability partnerships require several processes including but not limited to the drafting of articles of incorporation and registering with the Department of State, and various other processes.
Contracts are legal documents that set forth the duties, obligations, rights and liabilities of the parties to an agreement. A contract must be valid to be enforceable. Contract review is essential to assess validity and well as to engender successful contract negotiation.
Wills are one facet of estate planning. It is a legal document expressing the party's wishes with regard to the disposition of property after death.
Living wills are legal documents determining the party's choices concerning medical decisions. These documents are used when the party becomes incapacitated in some way and cannot act in their own behalf.

One Year Later, Stimulus Plan Leads to Feast and Famine
This week marks the one-year anniversary of the signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and the outlook on its success rate is, at best, mixed.
Here in the Mid-Atlantic, where many companies bank on federal work, some see the stimulus as a blessing. More than $1 billion in U.S. General Services Administration funds will go to projects in the Washington, D.C., area, including $162 million toward the $435-million U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters at the former St. Elizabeths campus.
Between December 2008 and December 2009, the District of Columbia saw a lower percentage of job losses [-3.5%] than any of the 50 states. And that could continue with more GSA work scheduled to be awarded this year. As Bill Guerin of GSA's Recovery Act Program Management Office notes, many of the agency's projects will provide jobs that last for years.
While that could be a lifeline for some in the vertical building sectors, many in the transportation sector are now left with little on the horizon. While the stimulus plan did manage to quickly funnel funds into state departments of transportation, many construction firm executives find themselves asking, "What now?" Although Congress has extended funding in keeping with SAFETEA-LU, it has not moved quickly on a new highway reauthorization bill.
The same debate is playing out across the country. A Jan. 13 White House report estimates that ARRA, which included nearly $130 billion in construction spending, added or saved 262,000 construction jobs through the end of last year. However, when the bill was signed on Feb. 17, 2009, the national construction unemployment rate was around 21% and today it is nearly 25%.
When ARRA was introduced, much of the justification centered on its potential to jumpstart the economy with a quick jolt of funding that would get people working and subsequently spending their paychecks. Although much of the funding for transportation and water infrastructure has been obligated, sectors like public buildings and power-related projects are just now seeing the bulk of funds flow into projects.
Some economists suggest that from the standpoint of pure economic theory, the stimulus didn't go as planned. "The notion of the stimulus was to kick start the economy," one economist said. "Everyone might have been better off now if more of that money had gone out earlier. It wasn't supposed to be corporate welfare."
At the same time, it is clear that the construction market would be in far worse shape without ARRA. As Associated General Contractors' CEO Stephen E. Sandherr told ENR, "Did it create all the jobs everyone expected? No. Did it save jobs? Absolutely."
While some in the Mid-Atlantic region may sustain themselves on a steady diet of federal building projects in the coming year, others are picking at scraps. With the government now in the position of buoying the industry, the best some contractors can hope for in the coming year is a second helping in the form of "Stimulus II."

The China National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is contemplating a total ban on cryptocurrency mining in the country, according to a draft list of industrial activities that was published on Tuesday (April.9th).
The NDRC said on Monday that it is seeking public opinion for its list of industries it is seeking to restrict or eliminate, if they do not adhere to relevant laws and regulations, or are unsafe or waste resources and pollute the environment.
The NDRC did not mention a target date or plan for how to eliminate Bitcoin mining, but the Chinese public has until May 7th to comment on the draft, according to China Knowledge.
China started clamping down on cryptocurrency activities in 2017 after multiple frauds and Ponzi schemes in the industry.
The Chinese government began banning initial coin offerings and local cryptocurrency exchanges, forcing many firms to find bases outside of the country.
Currently, China is the world's largest market for cryptocurrency mining equipment and home to major manufacturers such as Bitmain and Canaan.

According to a recent analysis and report, financial backing for palm oil, pulp and paper and other industries associated with forest loss in Southeast Asia is estimated to have topped US$60 billion over the past five years.
Global consumer brands like Unilever, Nestlé and PepsiCo continue to buy palm oil from lawless brands which contribute to Indonesian deforestation.
New research has found that each hectare of rainforest used for oil palm production is responsible for even higher carbon emissions than originally believed.
Land sales by corrupt politicians to pay off corporate donors are driving electoral, environmental and social crises in the Indonesia.
Weaknesses in mapping roads in these areas leads to blank spots where illegal deforestation can occur.
Lembaga Tabung Haji supplies major refiners and users of palm oil such as Wilmar, ADM, Nestlé and Unilever, some of which have promised to stop sourcing palm oil linked to environmental destruction.
Palm oil production has remained largely flat over the last 20 years, which means the surge in demand will call for a massive expansion of existing palm plantations.
Corruption and lack of oversight allow illegally logged timber to be traded from Africa's heartland to the coast of China.

The special fares are gone.
Despite the Tourism Development Company's (TDC) campaign to convince Trinidadians to vacation at home and appreciate all that is local—from the hotels to the cuisine—a majority of them are flying out this holiday period.
Wayne Rodriguez, president of the T&T Travel Agents' Association, said most flights to big city destinations, whether it is to London, New York or Toronto, are fully booked.
"The rush now is for special fares with American Airlines to Miami, Los Angeles and Boston. A lot of people are taking advantage of those low fares," Rodriguez said.
He reported an increase in the volume of people travelling, with a steady flow in bookings from January to July.
Farouk Khan, who runs a travel service in San Fernando, said apart from Trinidadians heading to North America, there's a lot of people heading to Barbados for Cropover.
Seats are limited, though, mainly due to the merger between Liat and Caribbean Star.
"In most cases, only first class is available. You may get the odd seat in economy," Khan said.
n New York will cost you $10,000.
Khan said this time of year is traditionally very busy when it comes to Trinidadians and travel, but this year seems to be unusually so.
"It could be because of the reduction in flights departing Trinidad for the summer," Khan said, referring to Caribbean Airlines' schedule.
For instance, whereas BWIA, the defunct airline, used to make two flights a day to Miami, its successor, Caribbean Airlines, makes one trip.
Most of Caribbean Airlines' special rates to North America, which ran from May to September, have been snapped up with few seats remaining.
The ones still available are up to $1,000 more expensive than the specials offered, Khan said.
Khan explained the airlines' pricing strategy.
While airlines like their prices to stay competitive, there might be as many as five different prices for an economy seat to any destination with no difference in service.
"They reduce a certain amount of seats at lower costs so it balances off the average price per seat.
"Sometimes we tell people you are paying $6,000, but this is not the cheapest price. The cheaper seat is sold out," Khan said.
In instances where travellers find the established airlines' prices too steep, they resort to charters, whose prices can be as much as $500 cheaper.
Khan, the traveller, has visited London several times as that's where his son is studying.
The youth in Khan likes Orlando.
He enjoys Wet 'n' Wild, Epcot at Walt Disney World, Sea World.
'It's one part of the world you can go and forget your troubles," Khan said.
Anand Mathura, reservation agent at Fantasy Travel in Princes Town, said even though a last-minute booking for an economy seat to London is $12,000 on British Airways, Trinidadians are forking out the cash.
If one had booked a London seat around March/April, it would have cost about $7,000.
Mathura said the one who paid $12,000 sometimes ended up sitting next to a passenger who paid only $7,000.
Trinidadians are also opting to holiday in Curacao via Suriname Airways and Primaris Airlines.
You might wonder how people affording these expensive trips?
Mathura said some of the travelling public from Princes Town are contractors, sell clothing, jewelry or own groceries.
Mathura said Republic Bank offered to pay his employer $50 for each customer who was sent to them for a loan that was approved.
"People are sceptical about taking loans. I asked a lot of people, but they had their own money to pay for their tickets," Mathura said.
He said some Trinidadians prefer to go to Miami instead of a Caribbean destination because the cost is sometimes the same.
Some Trinidadians are crossing water this holiday period, while not going very far afield.
Many still enjoy good old Tobago.
For the owners of guest houses and apartments in pristine Tobago, Trinidadians account for about 60 per cent of their business.
Rene Seepersadsingh, president of the Tobago Hotel Association, said a fair amount of Trinis go to Tobago, especially with the addition of the new fast ferry, T&T Spirit, on the seabridge.
He said the issue of seating availability is one of supply and demand.
"There is only so much space. For the most part, the airbridge is reliable. There are no major complaints," Seepersadsingh said.
He said those who opt for a more exotic locale do so because they have greater spending power.
"Trinis take Tobago for granted, something they can always do," he said.
All of Delta Airlines' flights for July were booked.
The first destination of choice for hot-footed Trinidadians was Atlanta with New York being second.
Heather St Louis, account manager at Delta, said Trinidadians are travelling out of the Caribbean because some hotel rates in North America are more competitive than regional fares.
St Louis, who has worked with BWIA, Pan American Airways (Pan Am) and United Airlines, said meals are cheaper in North America and there are more interesting places to visit.
She spoke of Atlanta's CNN Centre, the Martin Luther King Centre, Coca Cola's head office, which has been refurbished, and the Atlanta Aquarium which are major tourist attractions. Those in the retail trade go to the wholesale mall, Premium Outlet in Atlanta.
"Atlanta has more than 20,000 Trinidadians," said St Louis, who travels monthly to Panama and Atlanta for meetings.
American Airlines has special rates for its destinations from September 4 to November 15, but the last day to pay for them was July 23.
Reservation agent Cordelia St George said the popular destinations are Miami, New York and Atlanta in the US.
She said 60 per cent of the airline's Trinidadian travellers go to New York, with 30 per cent opting for Miami and the remaining ten per cent heading to Atlanta.

TRAVEL - Chile
Chile comes out from the cold - Sarah Marshall clues up on culture in the capital city Santiago
Tuesday, 7th June 2016, 11:09 am
Updated Tuesday, 7th June 2016, 12:43 pm
Experimental restaurants, a sophisticated arts scene and a general, all-round nod to eccentricity make Chile's mountain-fringed capital one of the most intriguing cities in South America.
Small enough to discover in a long weekend, Santiago is made up of several easily navigable neighbourhoods, all radiating their own special character.
Considered a cultural heartland, the leafy Lastarria district offers pleasant pavement cafes and distinctive boutique hotels, many housed in the few colonial-style buildings spared by a succession of devastating earthquakes.
Influenced by neoclassical French architecture, the grand Singular Santiago is one of the most spacious and atmospheric hotels in the city. Sip coffee in an elegantly cluttered lounge supervised by waiters attired in smart waistcoats, or zip right up to the 21st century at the hip rooftop cocktail bar.
Many museums and historical buildings can be found in the 16th century Plaza de Armas, the city's main square, where old men furrow brows over games of chess beneath the shadow of the ornate 18th century Metropolitan Cathedral.
But a more offbeat attraction is La Chascona (meaning 'wild mane of hair'), the house built in the mid-Fifties by Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda for his lover Matilde, who had striking curly red locks. Like the man himself, the property is wonderfully eccentric: a secret doorway links the dining area and bedroom, allowing the host to surprise guests or disappear for a quick nap; and decorations include an enormous pair of men's brogues, once used by a shoe shop to advertise their wares to the illiterate.
The poet, along with his friend, social activist and singer Violeta Parra, has also posthumously inspired a dinner/dance show not far from his house in the same Barrio Bellavista district. De Pablo a Violeta skips, hops and strums through the cultural history of Chile, exploring dance, music, food and wine from different regions. Stick around afterwards to enjoy a limitless bar, as folklore bands do their best to lift the roof on one of the area's typical 100-year-old houses.
* Doubles at the Singular Santiago cost from £198 per night with breakfast.
* Get Your Guide offer tickets to De Pablo a Violeta with hotel pick-up and drop-off from £68pp

Wake up in Eiffel Tower pop-up apartment
Wake up in one of the world's most iconic locations by staying at a pop-up apartment in the Eiffel Tower. Opening on June 10, the first day of the UEFA EURO 2016 games in France, the temporary property is being let by HomeAway, official fan accommodation providers of the tournament. For a chance to kip in the tower, travellers should apply at homeaway.com/Eiffel-tower, telling organisers how they'd spend a night in the space. Four winners, each bringing five guests, will have the chance to stay on dates in June and July.
* Crowds wielding selfie sticks? Avis has come up with a way to escape hordes of tourists by recommending a list of the top "untrending" destinations. The Avis Untrending tool recommends less familiar locations with fewer hashtags on social media, which are still close to favourite holiday spots. Find suggestions at untrending.avis.co.uk

1. Slow the outbreak: Burning, itching or tingling may be the first sign that a cold sore is coming. When cold sores appear, apply an over-the-counter antiviral cream or ointment. Although this isn't always effective, doing this may help slow the reproduction of the virus and relieve symptoms.
2. Reduce pain: Consider taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help reduce pain.
3. Avoid foods that contain acid. While you have a cold sore, avoid foods that contain acid, such as tomatoes and citrus fruits. These could irritate the skin and add to any pain.
4. Cool the sores: Place a cool, wet towel on the cold sores for about five to 10 minutes. Do this a few times daily to help reduce the redness and irritation.
Unlike canker sores, cold sores are highly contagious. If you have a cold sore, Brod recommends avoiding intimate contact – such as kissing – and sharing cups, towels, razors, toothbrushes and any other objects that may have come in contact with your cold sores. This will help prevent the cold sores from spreading to another person.
These tips are demonstrated in "Cold Sores: How to Treat," a video posted to the Academy website and the Academy's YouTube channel. This video is part of the Dermatology A to Z: Video Series, which offers videos demonstrating tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails. A new video in the series posts to the Academy's website and YouTube channel each month.

Flash Back: Mauritshuis Den Haag (Hardcover)
By Rineke Dijkstra, Anton Corbijn, Viviane Sassen
- A beautifully presented accompanying catalog to the exhibition FLASH BACK at the Mauritshuis in The Hague from 1 June to 16 October 2022What happens when new masters pick up where old masters left off? On the occasion of the bicentenary of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the museum asked contemporary photographers to reflect on the permanent collection. Which masters capture their imagination? How do they interpret 17th-century art?The result: 16 new works by 16 contemporary photographs, including Erwin Olaf, Rineke Dijkstra, Anton Corbijn and Stephan Vanfleteren, one for each room in the Mauritshuis. The new works will be displayed alongside the 17th-century works that inspired them and will be put equally next to each other in this luxury book.The photographers were entirely free to select what they wanted to work with. For some it was a painting, for another a detail from a painting, or even an entire room in the museum. Expect to see original and surprising reflections on 17th-century art: counterparts, commentaries, alternatives. None of the photographs is a remake of the original painting. One thing is certain: you will never look at Rembrandt, Vermeer or Steen in the same.Text in English and Dutch.

Some aspiring entrepreneurs may believe that franchising a business is an easy decision. If you had some success with your first store, you may think that franchising is the next logical step. A positive bottom line at one business in one location, however, will not always translate to widespread acceptance of a particular brand or concept. For that reason, it is imperative that you take a close look at the wide variety of factors unique to the franchise model to determine whether franchising is the right choice. This article will explore a number of those factors to consider when taking the plunge into franchising, however it is by no means an exhaustive list of the elements involved in starting up a franchise.
Who Is On Your Franchise Team?
Your initial team of advisors should, at a minimum, include expertise in legal affairs, accounting and franchise sales and development.
The lawyer's role is to help you determine the model of franchising that best suits your objectives, be it unit franchising, area development franchising or master franchising, and then capturing those concepts and requirements in franchise agreements and a disclosure document, where one is required by law (more on what all of these terms mean below). The accountant's role will be primarily to create your financial statements and opening balance sheet which are essential components of any valid disclosure document, again, where one is required by law, and will also help you plan your finances generally. With respect to sales, you may want to consider retaining the services of a franchise consultant with specific expertise in the franchise industry, or hiring a sales or development manager who has demonstrated experience selling brands to franchisees in other systems.
What is the competition like? Is your product or service unique enough to stand out in a crowded field?
Are there any hurdles to entering the market that you should be aware of? Are there any regulatory obstacles to franchising a business in your particular industry?
Will it be manageable for someone else to copy that model under your supervision, or does it only work under your direct implementation?
How many corporate-owned units do you have, and how are they doing financially?
Where will you find franchisees?
Do you have the right internal team in place to help locate franchisees, build the brand and generally execute your vision?
What Kinds of Franchising Options Exist?
Direct Franchising: Direct, or unit, franchising is the purest form of franchising a business. Under this model, the franchisor grants the franchisee the right to open one franchised business at one location, with a specified geographic range that will be protected from other franchised businesses of the same system, for instance the right to open one fast-food restaurant at a particular address. Additional franchises may be granted based on the performance of the first location. In most cases, it will be rare for the franchisee under this model to be required to satisfy performance criteria or sales quotas.
Area Development: Under an area development agreement, the franchisor grants the franchisee (or, area developer) the exclusive right to open and operate several franchised businesses within a much broader geographic territory. For instance, an area developer may be granted the right to open coffee shops within a particular neighbourhood of Toronto, or perhaps throughout the entire province of Manitoba. Area developers typically will be required to open a certain number of stores within a specified time frame, as set by the franchisor.
Master Franchising: Master franchising is similar to area development in that the franchisee (in this case, the 'master franchisee') is granted the right to a wide territory. However, as a master franchisee, the territory will generally be larger than under the other franchise models, i.e. an entire province or all of Canada. Master franchising is frequently employed by foreign franchisors so that a resident of the territory can expand the system in areas which the franchisor may not be familiar with. As well, master franchisees (though franchisees of the franchisor) will generally be given the right to "sub-franchise", meaning that they can grant franchises to franchisees within their territory, rather than only operate them themselves. In this case, the master franchisee actually becomes the franchisor.
In a franchise relationship, there is invariably an imbalance of power favouring the franchisor. This is understandable given that it is the franchisor who owns the brand, has spent considerable time and effort in developing operating standards and needs to exert a sufficient degree of control to ensure consistency in the delivery of products and services to customers of the franchise system.
Franchise law recognizes this tilt towards the franchisor and, in those provinces where franchise law has been enacted, very specific rights are afforded to franchisees which cannot be waived.
One right, in particular, is the cornerstone of franchise law and that is the franchise disclosure document. Not to be confused with an operations manual, the disclosure document is a compendium of various categories of information, all of which are specifically prescribed by law. In order to assist a franchisee in determining whether to enter the system, the disclosure document requires the franchisor to provide the prospective franchisee with its company history, litigation history, a description of all fees and costs necessary for the franchisee to start and continue to operate its business, a summary of restrictions and obligations contained in the franchise agreement and, perhaps most importantly, the franchisor's financial statements. This list is far from exhaustive as there are many more headings of information required by law, however it should give you a sense of the level of detail that a disclosure document is to contain in order to aid a franchisee in deciding if the franchise is for them.
In addition, franchisees are under no obligation to buy into the franchise when they receive a disclosure document. In fact, the law requires that a minimum of 14 days pass before a franchisee can be required to pay any money to the franchisor, or sign any agreement relating to the franchise.
Franchise disclosure legislation currently exists in Ontario, Alberta and PEI and New Brunswick, with Manitoba anticipated to enact similar legislation later this year. Disclosure documents are not yet required in any other province or territory.
What Fees Should I Charge?
The fees which you intend to charge your franchisees need to strike a balance between being fair to a franchisee while still providing you with the opportunity to be profitable. The fees should be structured so that both of you can realize a reasonable return on your respective investments.
Generally, franchisors will charge an initial franchisee fee payable on the franchisee signing the franchise agreement. Franchisors often assume that this is straight profit for them, but the typical business reality is that the franchise fee should be an amount which compensates the franchisor for its own administrative, legal and accounting costs to grant the franchise, assist in getting the new franchised location operational and provide any agreed-upon training.
A monthly or weekly royalty fee will typically be calculated as a percentage of the franchisee's gross sales and is the main source of a franchisor's profits, but again, must be calculated with a view towards ensuring the franchisee's financial stability and success.
Some other fees which may be chargeable by a franchisor include: an advertising fee (more on this a little further down), a sublease administration fee where a franchisor subleases the premises to the franchisee; a software maintenance fee; an ongoing training fee; or a waste diversion fee (in provinces where such charges are owed by a franchisor to the provincial government).
Is Location As Important As I Think It Is?
A vital consideration will be how to handle construction of the premises. As a franchisor, you may be failing your franchisees and doing a disservice to your brand if you are not assisting in the approval of a particular location. Given the critical importance of location to a business's success, a franchisor may elect to go on the head lease of a particular location and then sublease that location to the franchisee, or make it a system-wide policy to always do so.
The benefit of this model is that, if the franchisor has found a location that has worked well for the system or that the franchisor anticipates will succeed, that location will remain with the franchisor if the franchisee ever leaves the system. When the day comes that a franchisee sells its business, or has its franchise agreement terminated by the franchisor, it will be the franchisor's option as to whether it will continue to operate the business from that location itself, or whether it will sublease it to another franchisee.
Franchisors should, at a minimum, be providing advice or resources for setting up a turnkey operation and may build the location themselves or require the franchisee to build, at the franchisee's own expense, and in compliance with the franchisor's standards.
One of the first things a franchisor should do is protect their trademarks by applying for federal registration under the Trade-marks Act. While registration is not mandatory for demonstrating trademark rights in Canada, you have more remedies available to you and somewhat stronger proof of your entitlement to the mark if you do register. You will need to conduct a search of the trademarks database to ensure that your mark and name will not be confusing with one already registered. Entitlement to trademark rights in Canada is based on first use, so it is important to have a clear picture of other claimants to your proposed name and mark.
How Can I Finance Advertising?
For a franchisor to ensure that there is consistency across its brand, certain system controls have to be in place, and this becomes particularly apparent in the area of advertising.
Franchisors need to be certain that any advertising being conducted by a particular franchisee does not vary from the message and brand which the franchisor has expended much time and resources to develop and sustain. As a result, most, if not all, franchise agreements will stipulate that all of the franchisee's advertising activities must be approved by the franchisor, as well as typically requiring a certain percentage of the franchisee's gross sales to be spent on advertising.
the franchisee must contribute a set amount to the franchise system's advertising fund. The fund will be administered by the franchisor and sustained by the financial contributions of franchisees across the system. The franchisor will then use those dollars to create advertising programs and promotions that tout the brand generally and aim to benefit the system as a whole, as opposed to one particular franchisee.
Franchising is an exciting path for many businesses, and it is a form of distribution that suits a variety of concepts, not only the traditional restaurant or retail outlets. However, you should think carefully about the control that you will be forfeiting when you hand the brand to your franchisees and determine whether that suits your long-term business objectives.
