on business organizations. And these taxes, in turn, are passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices. As a result, for most people (those with incomes of $5000 or less, which includes better than nine out of every ten taxpayers) the hidden tax burden is heavier than the income tax.
Tax Snowball
Taxes accumulate all along the way from raw material to finished product on the store shelves. And at that point many state and cities add a retail sales tax. The Tax Foundation, a research organization which studies government spending and taxes, has discovered 150 taxes levied on the manufacture and sale of a woman's hat, 116 taxes on a man's suit of clothes, 151 on a loaf of bread, and at least 100 on a dozen eggs.
There are about 11 1/2 cents of taxes in the cost of a pack of cigarette, $2.06 taxes on a $3.75 bottle of whisky, and $300 to $500 on a $2000 car. That is one big reason, say auto makers, why a $1000 car today is out of the question.
This year the average family will pay $69 in liquor taxes, $45 on tobacco, and $49 in the cost of gasoline. Property taxes�some paid directly, others indirectly in rents and prices�amount to $177 per family. Sales taxes will take another $48. And corporation income taxes�which the consumer also pays in the form of higher prices�will take a whopping $317 out of the average family's purse.
Some economists do not believe that all business taxes, especially the corporation income tax, come out of the consumer's pocket. But tht evidence is impressive. G. Sidney Houston, Minnesota banker, points out that in the three prosperous years 1927-29, net income after taxes of corporations which reported a profit amounttd to 7.45 percent of gross income.
Since then there has been a three-anda-half-fold jump in corporation income-tax rates; hundreds of other business taxes have also been boosted. Yet in 1946, despite price control, profits after taxes were 6.89 percent of gross income. "It seems rather clear," says Houston, "that corporations did everything in their power to pass on to their customers practically all tax increases."
Recently Newsweek asked leading auto manufacturers a loaded question: "If corporation income taxes were reduced by one half, would you cut the price of automobiles?" One corporation declined to answer, but from the others came a unanimous yes. Ernest Breech, Ford executive vice-president and an old hand at cost accounting, reflected a typical businessman's viewpoint: "Certainly they would cut prices. In the long run, every corporation must price its products so as to make a reasonable return after taxes in order to survive and grow. In the final analysis, income taxes are just as much a cost of doing business as payroll."
Finger Points At Consumer
And if a drop in corporate income taxes would bring a drop in auto prices, who, then, is bearing the cost of present taxes? The finger points directly at the consumer.
There is nothing vicious about this passing of taxes to the consumer. It is simply a fact of economic life. It must be recognized that business organizations, by their very nature, are merely tax collectors, not taxpayers. The cardinal rule of every business�the purpose of any profit-making organization�is to earn a fair return on the money invested. To survive, it must pay its costs and have a fair profit left over. And taxes are just another item of cost. If income taxes take half of a corporation's profits, then it must set its prices high enough to earn twice as much before taxes in order to have the same return.
Death By Taxes
If business could not pass taxes along to the consumer, the entire system would be automatically destroyed. In the case of many corporations, the total tax load already exceeds their total profits. Last year the giant American Telephone & Telegraph Co. paid $292,000,000 in taxes. Its profits after taxes amounted to $229,000,000. General Motors paid taxes of $694,000,000, compared with profits of $440,000,000.
If taxes on corporations were completely removed, state public-utility commissions would force AT&T to reduce prices until its profits were probably not much greater than they are today. Public opinion and competition would cause GM to do the same. If the present tax load were then reimposed�and could not be passed along to the consumer�profits would be completely wiped out.
Besides income taxes and hidden taxes, the average family bears still another cost of big government spending�inflation. During a depression, deficit spending dots not necessarily cause higher prices. Some economists maintain it may actually cause more goods to be produced. But when production is running full blast, deficit spending merely increases the de-

By means of the reinfection method which has been reported in Part I, I caused tuberculous meningitis to rabbits, and used streptomycin in spinal canals and general treatmant. Rabbits were divided into 3 groups for streptomycin treatment. viz, the 1st group for use 2 days before reinfection. the 2nd at the same day, the 3rd after the appearance of the symptom of tuberculous meningitis. and each group was further divided into 2 parts. the 1st for only local treatment, the 2nd for local and general treatment. All of 15 cases of acute form died in 16 days. but they lived 10-15 days longer than the non-treatment cases. 7 cases of chronic form recovered and did not recur within 200 days. Under histological observation, tuberculous meningitis of rabbits. which treated with streptomycin, showed disappearance of monocytes and increase of fibrous degeneration. And the pathological degeneration of meningitis was so light that streptomycin must have affected directly against tubercle bacilli.

Tafelmusik makes a case for the obscure Baroque music of Agostino Steffani
By John TeraudsSpecial to the Star
Steffani: Drama & Devotion
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir with mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabó. Ivars Taurins, conductor. Until Nov. 11 at Trinity-St Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St. W. tafelmusik.org or 416-964-6337
It's not just established masterworks that guarantee a magical concert. Tafelmusik proved this Thursday evening at the first performance of a program devoted to the now-obscure Baroque-era composer Agostino Steffani.
Not only was his music a revelation, the concert itself was beautifully performed by the period-instrument Tafelmusik Orchestra, Chamber Choir and guest soloist, Toronto-based mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabó.
Born near Venice in 1654, Steffani was educated in both Italian and French musical styles before spending his time working for German masters, including the Elector of Hanover, who would become King George I of England.
By the time Steffani died in 1728, he had gained respect as a bishop and a diplomat. He kept his hand in writing music, as well. We are fortunate that his creations survived him and that adventurous period musicians are now willing to program them.
Conductor Ivars Taurins' selection for the two-hour concert (including intermission) was nothing short of brilliant. The first half of the program consisted of two sacred works, including an elaborate setting of the Good Friday Stabat Mater text.
Steffani considered this his best creation, according to the program notes, and it's easy to see why. The sensitive, rich and colourful writing was brought to vivid life by Szabó, the choir and soloists plucked from its ranks. A particular treat was Victoria Marshall, a member of the alto section, who made a fine duet partner with Szabó.
Where the opening setting of Beatus Vir, an early composition, contained clear echoes of Venetian church music from the school centred around St Mark's Cathedral, the Stabat Mater was something even richer and more varied ion style.
Szabó has matured into a remarkable artist, a master of nuance and expressivity. She had a chance to really shine in the second half of the program, devoted to Steffani's operatic output.
Taurins organized the sequence of pieces to mirror the arc of a dramatic opera plot, interspersing arias, duets and choruses with instrumental interludes. Rather than sounding like a patchwork, it became a seamless journey from stormy opening to happy resolution.
Although Szabó was captivating in the dramatic opening and closing music, the music that blew me away was "Sfere amiche" (Friendly spheres) from the 1688 opera Niobe. This soothing aria gave Szabó the opportunity to plumb the subtleties of fine singing. The orchestration and fascinating changes of key shimmered and glowed.
This was the very essence of musical enchantment, where singer and orchestra became one in a journey that took us far beyond ourselves.
The whole program is so compelling that it is worth snatching a ticket before the last performance at Trinity-St Paul's Centre on Sunday. I would also recommend that Taurins & Co. make plans to record it, so even more people can bask in its wonders.

The first Digital Curation Conference took place in Bath in September 2005; one year after the Digital Curation Centre was launched. Since the inaugural conference we have covered a range of curation issues from the simple question of "What is Digital Curation", through to more complex issues of infrastructure, radical sharing and open data and how to encourage collaboration and create a curation community. Content has covered topical research, bold looks into the future as well as distillations of lessons learnt from practice.
The Call for Papers is now open and in this our 10th year we encourage submissions that take a 10-year view whether into the past, present or future. Our emphasis is on how we move forward building on what we've learned. Contributors are invited to reflect on the changes they have seen in a number of different areas (listed below), to consider the likely developments in these areas and the emerging challenges in the next decade.
Proposers should identify the session theme they most closely align with and submit using the templates provided on the Submissions page. Different lengths of abstract are required based on the type of submission being made. For information about the key submission dates check the Dates page.
What were the lasting trends and passing phases?
What are the major advances that have been made?
What are the next big challenges we need to tackle?
How effective are current courses in delivering such knowledge and skills?
What best practice is being established in educating and training these groups? What innovations are being explored?
What is the trajectory that courses should follow?
What skills do curators, researchers & support staff need now, what will they need in future?
What methods are most effective? e.g. immersive/embedded approaches, co-location?
We invite a number of submission formats, including papers, posters, demos and workshops. We are also experimenting with a couple of new formats this year: Birds of a Feather sessions and data papers.
Birds of a Feather will be 60 minute sessions that bring together individuals interested in a given topic relevant to the conference and suitable for discussion and networking. They will provide an open forum for exploring issues and questions. Speakers will be given a maximum of 20 minutes to present the topic and the remaining time will be for audience discussion.
Data papers will be short talks describing your datasets, how they were collected and the potential for reuse. The data should have been prepared for sharing and deposited in a recognised repository. Data papers will be grouped together as series of short 'lightning talks', separate to the other thematic sessions in the conference. As such, the abstracts don't need to align with one of the session themes.
For further details see the submissions page.

Machine that permits banking transactions using a remote computer controlled terminal is termed as ATM (Automated Teller Machine). With the advent of ATM long waiting at the banks to complete a single transaction has come to an end. Here is an overview of the positive and negative impact ATM machines have on the society.
Using ATM machines people can withdraw money from their bank accounts any time irrespective of the banking hours. Availability of these machines at multiple places like airports, bus stations and other public areas is making money available even at remote locations. Money can also be withdrawn from any location in the world at the cost of certain fee. This feasibility to obtain cash at any locations reduces the risk of carrying huge amounts of money while travelling.
Money becomes available immediately after inserting the card and giving the access code without the hassle of filling withdrawal forms and waiting in long queues.
Apart from providing the requested cash, an ATM machine offers other services like depositing cash, giving details of existing balance, change the access code, transfer money between accounts and also make certain bill payments.
According to a market study, easy availability of money through bank ATM's is encouraging users to spend more money compared to those who do not use ATM card. This in turn is serving in increased cash flow and more business.
Use of fake card readers known as skimmers to provide numbers and secret codes for burglars.
Identifying the access pins using spy cameras.
Illicit use of lost ATM cards.
Inappropriate listing of withdrawals in the monthly statements.
In the past few years there has been an increased incidence of burglaries and murders near the ATM machines just to grab the withdrawn money.
Few bank ATM machines do not give details of the existing balance after withdrawing the money. This in turn may pose the risk of overdrawing the account in future transactions resulting in unwanted penalty charges.
ATM machines often remain busy during the holiday season increasing the chances for inadequate cash. Cash may not be available even if the machine gets damaged after the banking hours.
Sometimes breakdown of the machine can cause the card to remain the machine itself. In such cases, the machine provides a contact number for further assistance. As a result the customer has to wait until the card is recovered from the machine by the bank authorities. If this happens over a weekend then the customer remains helpless for a couple of days.
Users can avoid most of the negative effects of ATM cards by using the card wisely and cautiously.

Monday, February 20, 2017 10:15am
Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen. Reporter file photo
Mayor Amy Walen has announced her intention to run for re-election to the Kirkland City Council. She was first elected to the Kirkland City Council in 2009 and will seek a third term in November 2017.
Walen has served as mayor since 2014. Resident-elected council members select the mayor from among its ranks every two years.
"My work as a business owner in Kirkland has made me a better councilmember," Walen said. "I have advocated for investment in economic development and replenishing reserves for our city. As a long-time Kirkland resident, I also know we must work together with citizens to manage our unprecedented growth, create better parks and open spaces, maintain public safety, and retain the unique attributes of Kirkland neighborhoods."
Walen said she is proud to see the start of major developments at The Village at Totem Lake, and Kirkland Urban, as well as partnerships between private companies such as Google and the city to provide additional sports fields and open spaces to serve children in the community.
"I have been impressed with Walen's ability to balance the needs of businesses and neighborhoods in Kirkland," said Kirstin Larson, resident of the Market neighborhood.
Besides serving on the Kirkland City Council for eight years and acting as mayor for four years, Walen has served on the Legislative and Finance Committees for the City of Kirkland. She is also the vice president of the Sound Cities Association and a member of the Puget Sound Regional Council Transportation Policy Board. In addition, she has been awarded the All Star Advocacy for the Association of Washington Cities Award and the Elected Official of the Year Award for the Alliance of Eastside Human Services. She also serves on the Board of Trustees of the EvergreenHealth Foundation. Walen owns Ford of Kirkland with her husband Jim, is a cancer survivor, and is raising a teen, who attends Lake Washington High School.
Walen said that her official campaign kickoff is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at Juanita Pub, located at 9736 NE 120th Place, Kirkland, 98034.

Hanseaticsoft rolls out its Cloud Fleet Manager, next-generation ship management solution at Europort 2019
Hamburg, Germany headquartered Hanseaticsoft GmbH (part of the Lloyd's Register Group) has introduced Cloud Fleet Manager, the web-based all-in-one software that will help handle all the tasks that the shipping companies have to solve. The tasks include crewing, chartering, scheduling, etc., all of the activity that needs to be done by the shipping companies. The system collects all the necessary information and reduce the effort for data exchange.
Max Hagemann, Head of PR & Marketing, Hanseaticsoft in an interview with IAA PortNews on the sidelines of the EUROPORT 2019 in Rotterdam, has told that the special feature of this ship management solution is that it is a completely cloud-based application.
"This is a cloud-based application and it does not require any installations on your PC. You just open up your browser, log in all your details and you can simply start working," Max Hagemann said.
He says that Cloud Fleet Manager is good for using on desktops and tablets since smartphones would be too small to display all data. However, the company also offers smartphone applications, among them inspection reporting or purchases. Inspection Report lets the client conveniently conduct inspections on board using a mobile device. While auditing, the client simply adds photos, videos, comments or voice notes to the report. Whether iOS or Android, smartphone or tablet it's easy to execute inspections.
Inspection Report and Cloud Fleet Manager are synchronized with one click and the detailed findings will be available for colleagues. Due to the integration of the Inspection Report into Cloud Ship Manager, the application that is installed on board the vessels, the ship's crew is immediately informed about the results of inspections and can instantly act. Besides, the inspection report can be completed on the client's tablet or smartphone. The procedure is paperless and does not require using cameras. There is no need for an active internet connection for auditing. All data is provided offline. Synchronization starts as soon as an active data connection is provided. As a result the mobile solution saves a lot of time.
"We have different packages that all contain different modules, but of course not every company needs all of them. You choose the ones that you need and pay for them. You don't have to buy all package. Just say, I need the Inspection Report, or Crewing application, may be Purchase. And if you see you need more, you just book extra," says Mr. Hagemann.
The advantage of this system is that it is cloud-based. Max Hagemann continues: "Since the Internet is not available on board all the time at sea we install the application onboard that you can work productively and as soon as the Internet available the onboard application and the office application exchange data, so everybody knows all the time what's happening. Once again, you don't need to write e-mails to ship, or call the vessel to ask information. You can just look into the system".
Max Hagemann added that Hanseaticsoft does not have any customers in Russia at the moment, but definitely the market is seen as very promising to his company.

Most sites will tell you it is certificate related but most of the answers I found googling didn't resolve my issue. The fix was upgrading my TLS to TLS 1.2 because starting July 1, 2018, support is being removed for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 from Azure VPN Gateway. VPN Gateway will support only TLS 1.2.
Have you ever worked in an environment where because of regulations and compliance, you are required to maintain all terminated and former employees group membership long after they have left the company and their accounts disabled. Leaving their membership in groups makes the group hard to audit because it will contain both active and disabled users. One possible solution is to create a custom user attribute to store the legacy groups for all disabled users.

Wild dunes is a really nice spot with great amenities.
The unit is clean and comfortable. No bugs as reported from some prior tenants. It was a little run down but it's a beach cottage. Screened porch was perfect for us. We didn't have neighbors above us until the last day - it was a bit loud when they arrived but that's all dependent on the guest.
Great location. The pool is very nice and had a great little baby pop - which our 1.5 old loved. The beach was steps away and easy to get to vie thee pathways.
Hi Becky, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. So glad that you and your family had a good stay and we look forward to having you back with us soon!
We will not stay at this unit again. When we made the reservation it said it had a pull out couch and it does not any longer so we had to have someone sleep on the couch as we had 5 people. They also only gave us enough towels for 4 and we would have faced an additional charge to get a 5th set so we went and bought a towel at Target. The cabinets in the kitchen need to be replaced and the cabinets had a foul odor so I had to wash everything before we even used it to make sure it was clean. You couldn't open the dishwasher unless you wanted to ruin a cabinet. The hardwood floors were buckling in places. The sliding doors to the porch did not work easily and the master bedroom one we couldn't get to open at all. We love Wild Dunes and have been back there 3 times in 3 years always staying at a different unit. But this is the first time we said we wouldn't go back to this spot.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for leaving us your comments and observations. We have passed them on to the owner who has plans of carrying out some updates. Please reach out to our vacation planners to help you select a better suited unit for you and your family.
We have stayed in this unit before and were very disappointed with this unit's upkeep. The sliding glass door was very difficult to work. The kitchen cabinets have deteriorated and the glasses and coffee mugs have not been replaced.
Hi Caltha, Thank you for your feedback, we have passed your comments on to the owners who has plans of doing the updates.
Hello Katie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have passed your observations on to the owner, and we are glad that you and your family had a nice vacation. We look forward to having you and your family back with us soon. Feel free to reach out to our vacation planners for any ideas or assistance with your next reservation.
The people in the unit above us were easily heard. Not sure of the remedy, perhaps a change in floor covering?? Every chair pulled out from the table and foot steps were clearly audible as was the shutting of the units screen door which slammed shut. A check of the closer mechanisms may help.
Hi Denise, Thank you for the feedback. It certainly can be frustrating when you hear the people upstairs. Unfortunately, the upstairs unit is not one of ours, but I did reach out to the regime to see if they can make some suggestions to the owners. We look forward to having you back with us soon and please don't hesitate to reach out to our vacation planners for other ideas of places when you are making your next reservation.
Had a great time, the property was very nice and clean, kitchen needs updating, however over all the property was in good condition and clean, would recommend!!
this was an absolutely restful week: no worries for a comfortable place to relax, walk on the quiet beach, sleep, read and just enjoy a no stress time. the rooms were large and comfortable, tastefully decorated. Provisions perfectly provided for our needs. And there were games! Thank you.
The kitchen cabinets could be updated, the ceiling fans only work on one setting, screens could be replaced on porch and the door repaired. Toilets are low flow so have to be flushed more than once. 2ND bath could stand a little updating and the cabinet drawer in the MBA opens by itself and can block the door.
All of Mariners Walk complex could use some landscaping. Some of the shrubs and bedding plants are overgrown.
Mariners Walk is our favorite place to stay while at Wild Dunes.
We had a good experience at Mariner's Walk 5C. The location to the beach and pool can not be better, right outside the backdoor. The size of the bedrooms were great! Bathrooms are a bit on the small side, but otherwise clean. Unit is a bit dated, but served us well on our extended weekend.
Overall rental experience was very good. Needs major kitchen updates. Bath updates since last visit were appreciated.
This unit is a good space for a small family. The property was clean, but could use some updating, specifically the kitchen. The unit is described as ocean view, but it is not. If you stand on one corner of the deck and look at the right angle you can see a sliver of the ocean. Please include photos of the "ocean view" on your web site. I probably would have chosen a different property. In the end it is a good unit and we really don't spend that much time inside when we are at the beach.
We had a nice relaxing extended weekend. The condo was clean and pleasant. We especially enjoyed the large porch off of the master bedroom and living room. It would have been nice if the air conditioning was cooler. Some of the nights were a bit warm inside. A tv channel guide would have been useful to have too. It also would have been nice to have cotton sheets on the beds. Overall, it was a nice place for the amount of money and time spent inside.
KITCHEN AND HALL BATH NEED SOME SERIOUS UPDATING.
LIGHT AND FAN IN BOTH BATHROOMS NEED TO BE WIRED SEPARATELY. DO NOT NEED FAN TO BE RUNNING ENTIRE TIME LIGHT IS ON.
Had everything we needed for our trip.
Having booked through Island realty for over two decades at Wild Dunes, we knew what to expect. The screened in porch is great for lounging and handy for many reasons. Two minor downsides, It takes two men and a boy to open and close the sliding door going to the porch and the warped kitchen cabinet door by the dishwasher really needs to be replaced.
Would we stay here again? Definite YES. It was clean and ever so handy for what my family does while we are here. Island Realty has always been great to work with.
The Check in Experience was not great - this is the first time we have not felt welcomed by the check in staff. We were very surprised by this as everyone we had dealt with up to that point had been so helpful and pleasant. When we arrived at the unit there was broken glass on the floor - and it clearly had not been swept well. After a good cleaning by us the place was great. The location to the pool and beach was great. This was our 10th year staying at Mariner's Walk, but our first year with this unit so we know the area well. A couple of recommendations: clean the unit more thoroughly before guests arrive. I know a "starter" supply of paper goods, etc. is all that is supplied, but we were only given one garbage bag - it would have been nice to have a few extra. I would recommend adding a swiffer or the like to the unit. We tried our best to keep it clean throughout the week, but the old broom that was there was not great. It was a nice unit though and we definitely enjoyed our stay.
I had a great 5 day visit to Wild Dunes. The rental was clean and I loved the porch. Spent most of my at condo time on the porch.
We enjoyed our stay at Mariners Walk. The furniture in the unit was updated and comfortable. The unit itself could use a little maintenance. Overall a nice place to stay.
OK. Called Sunday 8/9 to report sliding door hard to open. Screen door off track. Never repaired.
If the rental company no longer comes mid week to bring fresh towels they should make sure the place is stocked with garbage bags and toilet paper to last a week. The dishwasher didn't work but that was not a problem for us.
This is a beautifully decorated unit perfect for a small family or group of 3-4. The unit smells and feels CLEAN! The owners have done a great job of furnishing and supplying this unit. There is a storage closet off porch with beach toys, chairs, wagon for toting things to the beach, etc. Unlike other condos, this location has direct access to pool and beach (off porch). The pool is lovely and refreshing and the beach just a short walk from the pool. We never saw a single bug inside. There were quite a few roaches on the porch though, especially in the evening. The only negative is that this is a middle unit, so there are no windows on either side and the condo is very dark inside. We also took advantage of the free famiy photo session and were very pleased with MIss Virginia's work. She and her husband own Sandcastle Photography. Overall, a wonderful experience and a location with a wide stretch of beach.
Loved the rental. Only down side was it was located on back row and we were too far from the ocean.
The island is lovely and having family nearby made it special.
The unit needs some repairs and a major cleaning. Porch was lovely. Large crack from ceiling to floor in living room wall. Had maintenance look at it. Main bath needs updating. Also had the property manager come to see a number of issues. She took some photos, but that did not help us.
Furniture looked rather new. Tried to vacuum the floors, we had to first clean the vacuum out, so full would not pick up. New washer and dryer.
Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness and maintenance. Many light bulbs were either missing or out.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me for a walk-through of the condo during your stay! I would like for you to know that all of the wall repairs were completed by the regime last week. The condo is also going to receive a fresh coat of paint, in a much lighter blue, that will brighten the place up. While the owners were here the week prior to the repairs we met with a contractor to discuss future plans for kitchen & bath renovations. The housekeeping issues were discussed with the department manager. Had I been aware of these issues upon arrival I would have sent housekeeping over immediately to finish the job appropriately. I apologize for any inconvenience you all encountered due to these issues. We certainly appreciate your feedback as well as your business!
The porch was very dirty. The floor was dirty and the studs where the screens were, were black with mildew.


The NFL's free agency period officially begins Wednesday afternoon, with the "legal tampering" period starting Monday. All eyes will be on Kirk Cousins.
While there's been some blowback over whether Cousins is really a top-10 quarterback and what he's actually worth, this much is true: In the salary-cap era there has never been another quarterback like him to hit the market. Cousins will be 30 years old this season, has 13,176 yards and 81 touchdowns the past three seasons and isn't coming off an injury. Thank the Washington Redskins' mishandling of Cousins' contract situation for one of the more intriguing free-agent stories in a while.
Not much more needs to be said about Cousins. The criticism of Cousins always fails to acknowledge that none of the quarterbacks you'd reasonably rank ahead of him are available. It would be no surprise if he lands with the Minnesota Vikings.
It's fine if you don't think Keenum is the second-best player in free agency. But it's a good bet he'll get the second-largest contract. Keenum has more risk than Cousins because he has had only one good season, but it was a good season and it came at an age (29) in which it's not unreasonable to think he was putting it all together in his first chance to play for a good team.
Johnson is a big, talented cornerback who is hitting the market because the Rams weren't going to use a third franchise tag on him. He has played in zone-based defenses and man-based defenses, meaning he'll appeal to any team looking for help at corner.
One concern worth noting is that the Jaguars didn't franchise Robinson, despite having the cap space for it. Are they worried about Robinson's knee after ACL surgery, or think his sluggish 2016 season was an accurate representation of who he is as a player? Some team will look at Robinson's 2015 tape, when he went for 1,400-yards, and see him as a young No. 1 receiver for their offense.
As discussed in the offensive line preview, offensive tackle is probably the thinnest position in free agency this season. Solder is a good, solid tackle who is about to get paid like an All-Pro due to supply and demand.
Norwell is coming off a true breakout, with an All-Pro season for the Panthers. Not long ago, paying a guard big money was seen as foolish. But players like Kevin Zeitler, Kelechi Osemele and Trai Turner have gotten huge deals recently, showing that teams have bumped up the value of interior offensive linemen.
Richardson's off-field issues caused the Jets to trade him last year. He had a good season with the Seahawks, and is now ready to hit the market. Regardless of the baggage, he's a highly skilled interior defensive lineman.
Talk about highs and lows. He made perhaps the most impactful defensive play in NFL history to help the Patriots win a Super Bowl, then got mysteriously benched for another Super Bowl. The latter will have to be vetted by teams, but Butler is still a fine player at a valuable position.
If a team needs a receiver but is worried about Allen Robinson's knee, Watkins still has the combination of youth and promise. He didn't get many yards but had eight touchdowns with the Rams last season. He's no sure thing, but everyone remembers what a great prospect he was coming out of college.
Poe had to settle for a relatively modest one-year deal with the Falcons last season. It's expected that won't be the case this time around. Poe is big, athletic and still well in his prime.
It has to be concerning how Wilkerson's play slipped after signing an $86 million deal with the Jets, and how he couldn't even make it to meetings on time. He won't get a mega-deal this time around, but some team will buy into getting a more focused Wilkerson.
Graham is one of the few impact tight ends on the market. We all remember how good he was with the Saints. He is still playing at a Pro Bowl level and is a good option for a team that needs a jolt in the passing game.
Lotulelei was a big-time prospect in college, and has been a good player for the Panthers. He's at his best stopping the run, and quality big bodies in the middle of a defense are always in demand.
Burton isn't without risk. He has five career starts and 629 yards for the Eagles. But his five-touchdown season in a limited role opened some eyes and will have teams wondering what he can do when he's not backing up Zach Ertz.
Bradham is coming off two very good seasons with the Eagles. He plays every down and can stop the run or drop in coverage. His versatility makes him an asset.
Sherman's release adds a big name to the market. If he was healthy, he'd probably be ranked higher. But an Achilles injury for a cornerback who will be 30 next season complicates things.
Hyde will be an interesting case. He's just 27, can catch the ball and has a 4.2-yard average, often playing in a bad 49ers offense. He also doesn't have any 1,000-yard rushing seasons and teams looking for a running back should easily be able to find one in a deep draft class.
Reid is a strong safety who can play near the line but also cover. It will be interesting to see if Reid's options in free agency are limited because he was one of the most prominent players who kneeled during the national anthem. After what happened to his former teammate Colin Kaepernick, it's an issue worth tracking.
McCarron seems like this year's Brock Osweiler or Mike Glennon. His status has grown based on a few starts (in 2015) and has apparently made teams forget that when he came out of college he was still available in the fifth round. Because quarterbacks are always at a premium, it seems like someone could overpay McCarron based on what he might become as a starter.
Lewis' issue has never been a lack of talent. He's a multi-faceted back who has a 4.8-yard career average running the ball. Health has been a major problem, but Lewis playing all 16 games last season for the first time in his career might make teams more comfortable with the risk.
Williamson developed nicely as a three-down linebacker for the Titans who can do a little bit of everything. He just turned 26 so he seems like a nice long-term investment.
Burnett had eight quality, productive seasons for the Packers. His value might lie in his ability to line up in a linebacker position in nickel defenses. That has plenty of appeal in today's game.
It's hard to evaluate Bridgewater. He was coming along fine two years ago, a former first-round pick who did some good things for the Vikings. Then he suffered a knee injury so bad that it was feared he would lose his leg. He has thrown two passes in two seasons since the injury. If he can get back to 100 percent, it will be a nice investment for some team. But the risk is clear.
Bowman has had a borderline Hall-of-Fame career, and while injuries have cut into some of his effectiveness, he showed last season after he was signed by the Raiders that he can still be an impact player. His veteran leadership is also a plus.
Early on, Richardson's development was slowed due to injuries. But last season he looked like the athlete Seattle thought it was getting in the second round of the 2014 draft. He can make some spectacular catches, and it seems like there's another level possible for him on the right team.


Prepare for an Elizabethan event that will be a delight to all the senses next weekend at All Saints by-the-Sea.
Through music, dance and readings, Shakespeare will be celebrated in Dances & Delights. His play excerpts to featured in the event include Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, Hamlet, Macbeth and Richard III.
For the eyes, the banquet will be centred on Lottie Devindisch's group of dancers dressed in flowing gowns of purple, white and royal green with golden trim. A credit to constume designer Judith Bennett.
Even in early dress rehearsal last week, Devindisch's creative magic as the mad Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet was as strong as her muscular dancer's legs.
She and the others: Tamsin Gilbert, Gale Hingston, Sue Newman (with her whimsical smile), Yarrow Sheehan and Jill Smith display a romping, lightness of foot in harmony with the magic of any Midsummer Night's Dream.
These dancers will blend nicely with a garden's worth of fragrant flowers from the St. Mary's, St. Mark's aMisnd All Saints church guilds for an aromatherapy experience that will waft from the church's sanctuary to the audience occupying every pew….
The Bard's inspiring poetry has been woven together for the occasion with narrative successfully penned in blank verse by Joyce Ditzler. She, along with John Edwards, selected all the readings for the occasion.
Charles Hingston, Caitlin Brownrigg, Margaret Jardine, Derek Emmerson and Ann Stuart lend rich intonations and dramatic flare to Shakespearean lines.
A climax for the ears will be reached by vocal sensations Betty Rothwell and Alan Robertson. Both have the artistic finesse of singing their pieces with a theatrical and harmonious freshness.
Caitlin Brownrigg will raise her voice in song as well.
Music will abound from Thomas Evdokimoff's guitar, Barry Valentine's organ and Janet Davies' flute.
During intermission, performers and audience alike will savour the arrangements for the palate offered by Rita Robertson and Inez Farr. Strawberries dipped in cream and brown sugar as well as shortbread are hinted to be among these delights.
All is being brought together under the magical direction of Margaret Jardine who has ridden at the helm of many among the best of Salt Spring's theatrical adventures….

Vito Schnabel Garners Ridiculous 'WSJ' Story on His New St. Moritz Gallery
The true tale of how a rich kid became an art dealer.

In case you didn't know it, artist and film producer Julian Schnabel's 29-year old son Vito "has become something of an art world pet" since "his teenage curatorial debut."
In a gushing profile in the Wall Street Journal today, writer Anna Russell waxes on about his love life (did you know he's currently dating model Heidi Klum?), his vacations, the exclusive parties he throws, and "what kind of shoes he likes to wear at the airport," adding that he enjoys "a level of attention typically reserved for movie stars, not art dealers."
Russell delves deep into the story of how the younger Schnabel came to take over the space of storied Swiss dealer Bruno Bischofberger in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where his first show will open on December 28.
Among other valuable bits of information you probably didn't know: "Like Aspen, Colo., St. Moritz attracts wealthy vacationers with an interest in high profile art."
Really? What's next? Galleries on St. Barth's? Oh wait…
Schnabel tells the Journal: "In New York, there's already so much there. I was looking for a place that was not totally off the beaten path, but where I could build my own voice and not necessarily have to deal with thousands of galleries in the same town."
We especially liked the part where, after explaining that Schnabel's first St. Moritz show will feature new paintings and sculpture by rock star artists Urs Fischer and Sterling Ruby, we are told how to view this as not taking key artists away from power dealers like Larry Gagosian, Gavin Brown, or Hauser & Wirth. (Think of it as the art world version of conscious uncoupling.)
"Mr. Schnabel and the artists say their arrangement is personal and nonexclusive," Russell writes. "It shouldn't be seen as poaching… It's another way the current generation of rising-star artists and dealers like Mr. Schnabel are flexing their clout in an art market smitten with anything new."
Talk about "smitten."
In case you didn't already get the memo that Schnabel had a privileged upbringing, we learn that "as a child, Schnabel spent time each year in the Alpine town, much of it wandering Mr. Bischofsberger's gallery, where his father's works were sometimes on display." He also attended Brooklyn's St. Ann's school, where Lena Dunham was a classmate.
As if we needed any further proof of Schnabel's ability to get whatever he wants, he tells the WSJ: "When I walked into Sterling's studio and saw these sculptures, I immediately thought of St. Moritz."

How can I get my 10-month-old to take naps?
Q: My 10 1/2-month-old has had trouble taking naps over the last few weeks. Since he has gotten older he now takes 2 a day. He is very attached to his pacy and blankie, and would always sleep with them. Now, he throws them out of the crib at both naps. He won't settle down and will actually cry and even poops during these times. He never used to do any of this. I've tried different times for naps & feedings, picking his pacy up for him, not picking it up etc. Please help!
A: 8 -- 12 months is a notoriously difficult phase for naps -- and is often a time of extra fussing and clinging. Your baby is going through some tremendous developmental leaps -- and he's both excited by them, and scared. Once babies start to crawl, they often get fussy, clingy, and don't sleep well. So he doesn't want to be away from you much -- and he now realizes that sleep means being away from your side. So he forces himself to stay awake now in order to be with you. Teething can often be painful for him, too. Add to the mix his changing sleep needs -- his sleep is becoming more "consolidated", meaning that he needs fewer naps. This all combines to give you a cranky, clingy little guy!
Try giving him only one nap a day -- maybe around 11 am, and see if that helps. He'll be tired earlier in the evening, but that's OK. And if he still doesn't nap, keep trying -- some days he'll sleep well, and some days he won't. He's bound to be a lot less predictable than before. Focus on nighttime sleep, and let naps happen (or not). Also, give him the extra reassurance and cuddles he needs now as he's going through major advances. Try using a baby backpack to keep him close by -- yet still freeing you up to get things done around the house. And make sure to get extra rest yourself, as this can be a frustrating time for parents. Support him through this challenging phase and you'll be rewarded by a more confident toddler in the next few months.

This well-established scheme, owned by REAL, is now reporting a record 67 participants as of December, can reduce costs for operators and covers the process straight through from input all the way through to digestate quality. The Scheme was set up in 2007 and is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
BCS certified digestate is widely recognised as high quality and safe by environmental regulators. It thus offers an opportunity for AD operators looking for a reliable market for the digestate they produce. The BCS is reporting a significant growth in membership, having grown from 3 plants in 2011, which was its fifth year of operation.
The BCS assures the quality of anaerobic digestion processes and anaerobic digestate. It is an independent certification scheme based on the BSI PAS110:2014 quality standard for all types of AD operations.
It is essential that farmers, land managers, farm assurance schemes, retailers, and consumers can be certain that anaerobic digestate spread to land is consistently safe and of good quality. The BCS quality assurance standards provide all stakeholders with these essential guarantees by certifying that the production process is appropriate and well-managed, based on a robust quality management system, that it is sourced only from permitted feedstocks, and that it has been produced in a hygienic manner.

Inside the Market Why this may be an ideal time to charge up your dividend portfolio with Hydro One shares
Why this may be an ideal time to charge up your dividend portfolio with Hydro One shares

Analysts estimated that scuttling the Avista deal should boost Hydro One's near-term profit outlook by about 5 cents a share and save its balance sheet from additional debt.
Darren Calabrese/The Canadian Press
Hydro One Ltd. is in the right place at the right time: Risk-averse investors are shuffling toward the safety of regulated utilities amid market volatility and a U.S. regulator has rejected the company's $4.4-billion deal to acquire a U.S. utility, removing an issue that had been hanging over the stock for the past year.
The best part? Hydro One (full disclosure: I own shares) remains a work in progress, offering a lot of upside and a hefty dividend while the market comes around.
Admittedly, it has been a rough ride over the past two years for stubborn investors such as myself. The shares fell 29 per cent from mid-2016 to a record low this summer, as Hydro One – which transmits electricity in Ontario – faced a trio of threats that tarnished its appeal.
Rising interest rates made dividend-generating utilities look ho-hum next to bonds. U.S. tax cuts made Hydro One's proposed acquisition of Avista Corp., the U.S. utility, look considerably less attractive. If completed, analysts expected that the cross-border deal would drag on Hydro One's profit.
And lastly, the newly elected Doug Ford-led Ontario government (which owns a 47-per-cent stake in the utility after the previous government privatized it in 2015) decided to make the chief executive officer's compensation a political issue this past summer, leading to his resignation. Now, the stock has an unfortunate tie to government interference.
One by one, though, these issues are fading.
Last week, a regulator in the state of Washington rejected the Avista deal, making it significantly less likely to succeed. Analysts estimated that scuttling the deal should boost Hydro One's near-term profit outlook by about 5 cents a share and save its balance sheet from additional debt.
The fact that Hydro One's share price popped 5.7 per cent on the news last Thursday provided a taste of what can happen when a company's outlook improves.
But there's more working in Hydro One's favour right now. Although rising interest rates had weighed on utilities earlier this year, a number of observers are taking a more skeptical view of the global economy, arguing that trade tensions, stock market volatility, weaker commodity prices and declining long-term bond yields are signalling a slowdown next year.
David Kostin, a strategist at Goldman Sachs, recommended in his 2019 equity outlook last month that investors shift toward economically defensive stocks, including utilities, because of their stable sales and attractive valuations.
U.S. utilities have already rallied 17 per cent from lows in early June, outpacing the S&P 500 by 21 percentage points. Canadian utilities are up just 1.5 per cent over the same period, but the sector is outpacing the S&P/TSX Composite Index by 10.5 percentage points (not including dividends).
Hydro One, then, is in good company, and the stock is capable of breaking out of the pack if the utility can soothe additional investor concerns.
Naming a new CEO will surely help solidify its strategic direction. And maybe, just maybe, Mr. Ford will back off from interfering with a publicly owned corporation (he still wants to cut hydro bills to satisfy an election promise), given the recent backlash.
For example, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, which nixed the Avista deal, pointed to Ontario's meddling ways in its decision. And the debt-rating agency Standard & Poor's warned this week that it could downgrade Hydro One's credit rating if Ontario continues to intervene in the utility's business decisions.
Is Mr. Ford learning something here? Okay, don't bet your life savings on that one. But with analysts on the fence with mostly "hold" recommendations and target prices that imply the stock will drift sideways over the next 12 months, the downside seems limited. And with a 4.3-per-cent dividend yield, I'm happy to wait around for better days.

Laser hair removal is an effective long-term treatment for the reduction of unwanted hair. The laser emits a powerful beam of light that passes harmlessly through the skin, and is absorbed by the hair follicle. By selectively absorbing the laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow hair. This method is only effective for dark hair as the laser is attracted to pigment so blonde, grey or red hair cannot be treated successfully.
A number of laser pulses are accompanied by a tingling or slight burning sensation. The patient is required to wear eye protection.
After treatment the area may become red and feel like mild sunburn for a day or so.
Laser hair removal is an effective long-term treatment for the reduction of unwanted hair. In this video the team at The Dermatology Institute of Victoria show you how quick and simple this walk-in, walk-out procedure can be in the hands of a professional.


Apple's Next Big Thing: In addition to updates on its operating systems and mobile devices, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) executives announced its new app, "HealthKit." The application gathers and integrates data such as weight, heart rate, and blood pressure that is being collected by other current applications. Many hope this app will enable patients and doctors to detect possible health problems before a patient deteriorates.
A Hole in the Profits: Shares of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE: KKD) slipped by more than 10% after hours on Monday. The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.23 a share in its first quarter on revenue of $121.6 million. According to FactSet, the company missed consensus earnings. The company reduced its forward guidance for 2014, and KKD's chairman blamed poor winter weather for the company's struggles in Q1.
The Next Lawsuit: The Wall Street Journalreports that Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) plans to spend more than $1 billion on a fleet of 180 satellites to provide global Internet access.

The company recently launched its 2013 Carnival promotion dubbed "Talk & Win".
She added that the promotion, which began on May 31, enters a person who talks for three minutes or more into a random draw to win the cash.

"Even if you are not a Carnival person, the cash is yours, so you can do whatever you want with it…we are here to help customers, not only by providing a service, but also by giving them back some much needed cash at times", said DeRoche.


Many ask about the difference between counselling and psychotherapy. In practice, they are the same thing – both are types of talk therapy. The difference is that counselling is what people usually receive when they are in need of some immediate support (grief and loss, sudden unemployment, relationship break-up, or any other type of personal crisis).
Psychotherapy usually focuses on providing the person with longer-term solutions rather than immediate support. In psychotherapy, the client is looking to get deeper insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Here are links to a couple of videos on what "talking to a psychologist" is all about.
Have you wondered if you drink too much? Do you often get into arguments and conflicts over your alcohol use, drug use, or gambling habits? Have you ever felt guilty about some of your habits? If so, you may want to look at where you fall on the spectrum of addiction, and learn some new strategies for re-gaining control over your life.
Do you feel tense and worry about things that are not likely to happen? Does your worry prevent you from enjoying life? Are you unable to relax because your mind is always racing? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, and you have been feeling this way for several weeks, you may have an anxiety disorder. In our sessions, I will give you tools for changing your thinking patterns, and gain control over your unwanted thoughts.
Do you find yourself re-living the memories of a traumatic event? Do you keep having nightmares over the event? Do you find yourself avoiding things that remind you of the traumatic event? If so, then you may be suffering with trauma. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment where you will be able to learn more about what is happening, and regain control over your life.
It's never easy to deal with loss, regardless of what the loss may be. Loss represents an ending of something. With this starts the grieving process, and for some, the grieving could be delayed. Counselling and psychotherapy can help you move forward more quickly from these losses and support you in healing.
Ever since you've been in this relationship, have people said, "you've changed"? Do you find yourself 'walking on egg shells' when your partner comes home? Do you find things are 'perfect' for a few days or weeks, and then they 'blow up'? If so, you may be living with a form of intimate partner abuse. My goal in working with you is to show how you can reclaim your power in a non-violent way. Once you regain your power, you will feel more confident in asserting yourself in your relationship. Whether you are the perpetrator of abuse or the victim, the goal is to stop the abuse and have healthier relationships.

With the final season of Game of Thrones just around the corner, Cheekytrip takes a look at some of the series' most iconic filming locations you can visit.
King's Landing, the capital of Westeros, is arguably the most iconic Game of Thrones location of them all. Cersei's walk of atonement in the episode 'Mother's Mercy' was shot in The Stradun, the main street between Sponza Palace and the Cathedral. In what has been a bit of a double-edged sword for the city, concerns of over-tourism have arisen as the show's popularity has grown, but the crowds don't seem like slowing down anytime soon. See our deals to Dubrovnik.
The unforgettable sight of The Dark Hedges has been immortalized by the HBO hit. The hedges appear most notably when Arya Stark is escaping King's Landing to head North to reunite with her brother Jon Snow. Areas around Belfast are home to much of filming locations in the series, including Dragonstone and lots of the land near Winterfell. Guided Game of Thrones tours can be purchased here.
The Alcázar Palace in Seville is the setting for Royal Palace Of Dorne, the residence of Prince Oberyn aka The Viper, and the rest of House Martell. The beautiful Moorish palace has always been a major attraction for tourists and lovers of architecture, but the show's impact has exposed the palace to a whole new audience. The palace has a history with film and tv, it was also used on set in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. Guided tours are €7 and can be purchased here.
Much of the series' filming is shot in Iceland's beautiful national park Thingvellir. Part of the park, The Öxarárfoss, is a stretch of exposed tectonic plates that create and tower over a natural path. This is the location for a scene where Sansa and Littlefinger make their way through the path as they approach the Bloody Gate where Lysa Stark resides. This stretch has also been used in scenes with Wildings like Ygritte and Tormund as a resting camp.
