Countdown to New York City!
On Friday, my daughter Caroline and I leave for a jaunt to the Big Apple. We will be returning on Tuesday night. This is our second trip to NYC and we are planning on making this an annual trip-just the girls. We are fortunate to be staying with Rebecca at Thrifty Goodness, she was so generous to invite us into her home and to play tour guide. To, me though, Rebecca is more, she's a new friend, full of possibility. I can't wait to spend time with her. She has many of the same interests as myself, and we hope to sit and sew and create some new things together one night, just for fun, and over our the course of our stay, forge a friendship that lasts.
We are planning a trip to the MET, (Metropolitan Museum of Art) which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. We are going to do Manhattan on foot Saturday. Caroline wants to see Time Square at night to get some lively photos of the neon lights. We plan on taking hundreds of photos, both candid and artsy, so I will post those as soon as we get home. Some other must see stops we're hoping to make are Ground Zero, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village, Pearl River Mart in Chinatown for some unbeatable bargains, Little Italy and whatever else comes our way.
Autumn in the city should be wonderful for walking and enjoying the sites. I ordered myself a Quilted Field Jacket in a Khaki color from Lands End. It's due here on Thurday! I think it will look great on me and paired with a snappy scarf, should make me look like a real City Girl.
Rebecca, Caroline and I will be driving to Connecticut on Sunday to hit the flea markets there. We are going to squeeze junk shops and flea markets in as much as we can because that's where the real treasures and souvineers are! Thrifting is something Rebecca, Caroline and I all love.
Next postScenes from the City-Mother and Daughter take Manhattan!
I didn't comment on your last post 'cause I am sooooo not into sports, but I was sorry YOU were disappointed! This post, however is such a HAPPY one to read about! Em, you & Caroline are going to have a BLAST! I'm really glad you're getting to do that! Caroline takes super photos so I know we will ALL get to 'share' the trip via those! And PLEASE, you & Rebecca give each other an EXTRA hug from ME, okay? Cannot wait to read all about your trip and see the photos! LOVE YOU!
Have a fabulous weekend Em..ohhh, i am green with envy..lol..how i one day, would love to see NY.
Can't wait to read and see pics on your return..
What a lovely site design you have. Wow I remember whem my daughter and I had a trip to New York from Australia. What wonderful fun it will be.

Margot Kidder, starred as Lois Lane in the 1970s, playing opposite Christopher Reeves in a series of Superman films (that grossed over $300 million dollars). She was the beauty that dated famous people such as comedian Richard Pryor and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. She is shown here with Brandon Routh at the Screening of "Superman II".
Sadly, Kidder suffered from schizophrenia and depression. She ended up sleeping in a cardboard box in a yard in Los Angeles in the 1990s. It took many years but she finally got her act together and was an off-the-grid but apparently happy grandmother. She died recently at the age of 69.

They show that they have a gift for song craft.

Amadeo's theatre was founded in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1797 and lasted until 1834. It was the first continuously operating theatre in Zagreb.

Overview
Amadeo's theatre was named after Anton Amade de Varkony, Hungarian count and notable county prefect of Zagreb. Amadeo's theatre was situated in the former Blatna (Mud) and Kazališna (Theatre) Street, which afterwards got the name Demetrova. The building in which it was situated is the present location of the Croatian Natural History Museum and, from 2000, the home of the Amadeo Theatre and Music Company.

Amadeo's theatre was a public theatre which was rented by its owner to a contractor – the principal of the theatrical group with the highest offer. Posters, tickets, announcements and advertisements were printed for plays and other events. The earliest preserved poster, dated January 1799, advertised a comic opera by Giovanni Paisiello.

After the death of Amade de Varkony in January 1835, his son sold the building, and theatre life in Zagreb moved to the then newly built Stanković's theatre in St. Mark's Square.

Repertoire
The plays in Amadeo's theatre were performed almost exclusively in the German language. In 1832 and 1833 German actors in Amadeo's theatre performed the first public and professional plays in the Croatian Kajkavian dialect. Dragutin Rakovac (1813–1854) translated two comedies by Kotzebue to Kajkavian, and Josef Schweigert, director and actor of a German group who was performing at the theatre at the time, portrayed the following plays:

 2 October 1832 Ztari mladosenja i kosharice (by Kotzebue)
 28 January 1833 Vkanjeni Vkanitel (by Florijan)
 23 July 1833 Ztari zaszebni kuchish Petra III (by Kotzebue)

A collective German language repertoire with standard features of the Austrian province of the time was portrayed in Amadeo's theatre: dramas, operas, ballets and a special kind of uncomplicated plays with singing sections which later developed into an operetta called Singspiel. At the beginning of the 19th century, the occurrence of writers pertaining to the Vienna circle, who marked the beginning of the Vienna folk theatre with their works, is becoming more and more frequent, and without them it would be impossible to imagine the genesis of the Croatian folk play.

In the Croatian theatrical history, Amadeo's theatre had a primarily educational role.

A man has been ordered to be of good behaviour for the next six months after he admitted being involved in a bust-up with his wife.
John Lewis was sleeping on a couch downstairs in the living room of their marital home in Kelso's Inch Road when his wife came in at 6am and turned on the television and a treadmill.
Jedburgh Sheriff Court was told an argument broke out between the pair and he damaged her mobile phone by throwing it against the wall.
Lewis, 63, pleaded guilty to a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on January 26 by shouting, making abusive and offensive comments and breaking his wife's mobile phone.
Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser said the parties had been together for 20 years and married for 12 years but their relationship seemed to have broken down.
He explained: "The circumstances are that the accused went out to the pub on Friday, January 25, and came home after midnight and was sleeping on the couch in the living room.
The fiscal said that during the row he told her she could not use any electricity as he paid the bills and made offensive comments including threatening to kick her out of the house.
The police were contacted and Lewis was taken into custody, and he made no reply to being cautioned and charged.
Defence lawyer Ross Dow said his client was a first offender and had accepted his guilt.
He said his relationship with his wife had broken down and they were leading separate lives.
Sheriff Peter Paterson said he would defer sentence for six months to see if Lewis could stay out of trouble during that period.
He said that when the case recalled on August 8 he would consider an admonition or a small fine if Lewis had been of good behaviour.

Wrongful death suit against distracted driver settles for $4M
By: North Carolina Lawyers Weekly Staff September 28, 2021
The estate of a 47-year-old North Carolina woman who was killed by a distracted driver has settled its case for $4 million, its attorneys report.
The plaintiff was represented by Brian Mickelsen and Danny Dalton of Mickelsen Dalton in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and Walter Wood of the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin in Greenville, South Carolina. At the time of the litigation, Wood worked from his firm's Durham office. Mickelsen and Dalton were admitted pro hac vice.
The attorneys report that their client died when her minivan was broadsided by a defendant who blew through a stop sign and into the intersection.
Many of the case's details, including the names of the parties and defense counsel, were withheld pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, although the attorneys said that the case was litigated in North Carolina and settled in April. Michael McDaniel mediated the settlement.
The victim was on her way to the store and preparing to host her young grandchildren for the weekend when the defendant crashed into the driver's side of her vehicle, Dalton said. Her seatbelt failed and she was ejected, landing on a nearby utility pole. She died soon after arriving at the hospital.
"Her injuries were gruesome, and the loss to the family catastrophic," Dalton said.
Dalton said that the insurance company argued that the victim should have seen the defendant coming and anticipated the impact, a claim that was controverted by responding officers, photographs, and an inspection of the crash site.
The company also argued that the driver, who was on the job when the crash happened, wasn't distracted, although Dalton said that numerous social media posts suggest otherwise.
The estate's attorneys likewise dismissed the defendant's contentions that the low traces of prescribed painkillers found in the victim's system caused the collision.
"The insurance company insisted that this beloved grandmother who worked full-time as a daycare worker and substitute elementary school teacher was a drug addict that contributed to her own death," Dalton said. "The most frustrating part of this case was watching the pain this family went through repeat each time the insurance company came with a new offensive argument."

Q: Flask 404 errors when deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk I have a Flask application that works fine using the development webserver and uwsgi but when deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk all of my externally defined routes 404.
I'm using the larger application structure recommended here: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/packages/
So I have an application.py that looks like this:
import settings
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config.from_object(settings)

application = app

#Ignore not used -> this pulls the views into the main app.
#see http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/packages/
import messages.views

#more imported applications here

@application.route("/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def hello():
    #health check endpoint.
    return "hi"

The hello method within application.py correctly returns 200, but the calls within message.views all return 404s.

A: As a test I decided to rename my application.py file to app.py and create a new application.py file with the following contents:
from app import app as application

This fixed the issue! I can now access all of my endpoints correctly.
Unfortunately I still don't understand what is wrong with the original setup.

A: As mentioned in the http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/packages/ documentation in a flask app architecture like a package you get a directory structure that looks like :
    /yourapplication
        /yourapplication
            /__init__.py
            /static
                /style.css
            /templates
                layout.html
                index.html
                login.html
            /views
                /__init_.py
        ...
    ...

And you put most of your code withing you __init__.py files so that you can call your views and application as modules of your package.
But as mentioned here you are still using application.py file which doesn't seems to be a part of package.
Also While working in a architecture like this you need to be very careful about circular imports as mentioned on the same link near the end of the webpage.

Dailey's Lamentations series is a meditation in two and three dimensions on nuclear theology and its implications in our atomic age. Comprised of diverse works on canvas, paper, glass, Plexiglas or constructed in granite, steel, plastic or wood, the series pioneers in defining an aesthetics of nuclear iconography in post-Cold War culture. Encapsulated in titles such as "The Delicate Balance of Terror," "From Crossbow to H-Bomb," and "Dichotomy of Destruction," the genre defying assemblages that constitute this project challenge the viewer—paraphrasing one of the works—to think about the unthinkable. Like much of Dailey's work, Lamentations reflects the artist's decades-long engagement in international affairs, national security, and arms control.
The project takes as its springboard "Station Six" from the artist's 2011 series 14 Stations of the Crossroads, a narrative of the artist's life journey and a portrayal of the decisions that helped define his identity and character. Dailey's Lamentations series is informed by this history, enabling the artist to offer a unique perspective on the themes and issues confronted here. Simultaneously elegiac and foreboding, the project can be read as a provocative wake-up call of sorts and a lament we are cautioned to ignore at our own peril.


Holding companies in the watch industry provide a lesson in comparative transparency.
The large corporate groups that own most of the big watch companies in Switzerland and Germany are very often the punching bag for those in the industry who aren't actually employed by them. Quite often, the criticisms have merit. Their structure makes them cumbersome, for example, often with a short-term focus on profits. Lately, there have been efforts to leverage their collective technical horsepower, and these provide an interesting window on the contrasting styles and management philosophies at work.
Over the last two years, certain brands—under their appropriate corporate umbrellas—have released impressive watches that have clearly been given an extra assist. The groups, intent on building innovative and noteworthy product, have invested in shared R&D—a communal skunk works, if you will—in order to advance the technical capabilities of the brands.
The question between the groups at the moment is one of approach. LVMH remains very much an underdog in terms of market share. It's overtly assisting Zenith, lately a laggard at the group, to a new position as a technical leader among their brands. The group is quite open about shared R&D. High-frequency chronograph mechanisms—developed at TAG Heuer—are being refined by TAG Heuer general director Guy Semon and launched in Zenith watches like the new Defy El Primero 21. This kind of work was only a sideshow at TAG Heuer, but seem entirely at home under Zenith's roof, with its considerable history in exactly this area.
The same thing is, of course, happening elsewhere. Brands within the Swatch Group have openly shared technology and movements for decades, a practice entirely in line with the group ethos of efficient industrial production. Richemont has been much quieter about their activities, yet it's obvious from a string of highly technical products coming from Van Cleef & Arpels, Panerai, even Baume & Mercier that some form of outside assistance is underway. When pressed, many technical people point to Val Fleurier, Richemont's inter-brand facility in the Jura as well as the new campus in Meyrin.
These two sites are hardly secrets; Val Fleurier has long been known to provide small series production for a number of brands. Now it has clearly been enhanced with greater R&D capabilities. And while inklings of this have been put forth in press materials coming from the brands, it had been—prior to his unexpected departure—head of watchmaking Georges Kern's policy not to comment on such activity.
The effect of these different approaches is striking from an outside perspective. Through transparency, Zenith's product offering (with more technical fireworks to come mid-September) conveys ingenuity, not brand miscegenation, and seems to represent another brilliant deployment by Jean-Claude Biver. Richemont's silence on the subject, by contrast, does not take advantage of their capabilities, and reminds us of the many other times the watch industry has underestimated collectors' intelligence.
All the groups have an exceedingly poor record of listening to their customers. There is perhaps a slightly greater chance they can listen to each other.

The voting booths in support of cannabis reform
One of the talking points heading into the 2017 election was whether any of the major parties would move to legalise or decriminalise cannabis use.
Barring the Greens, they all ultimately said they wouldn't, which might explain the groundswell of support for the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party coming from prison teams in Whanganui and Rangitikei (19.8 and 16.4 percent respectively).
However, the votes haven't come from inmates locked up for cannabis-related crimes, as prisoners aren't allowed to vote in New Zealand. The votes have most likely come from family and friends of the jailbirds - or the prison staff themselves - who don't believe those locked up for cannabis are deserving of their punishment.
Otago Polytechnic's voting booth also attracted 16.4 percent of votes for the Legalise Cannabis Party.


The Gathering, also referred to as G4Gn ("n" denoting the number in the series), is an invitation-only biennial conference that started with G4G1 in 1993. Since the second conference in 1996 the meetings have been held every two years, the most recent being G4G13 in the spring of 2018. To date, all G4Gn conferences have been held in Atlanta, Georgia.
At each Gathering, there are typically lectures, performance art, puzzle and book displays, close-up and stage magic acts, and guided sculpture building. Traditionally, each conference has a Gift Exchange in which attendees swap puzzles, magic tricks, artwork, mathematical papers, novelty items, books and CDs/DVDs.
Typically there are 250-350 attendees between the ages of 8 and 102 from all over the world.
These are a few presentation highlights from G4G11 and the sculpture building events at G4G8 through G4G12.

Parashat VaYigash: Yosef's Mistake
**Dedicated L'iluy nishmat Natan ben Shoshana Levy
From Your Children**
In the beginning of Parashat Vayigash, we read of Yehuda's impassioned plea to Yosef – whom he did not recognize as his brother – to allow Binyamin to return home to his father. Binyamin had been framed as a thief, and Yosef wanted to keep him in Egypt as his slave. Yehuda appealed to Yosef to allow Binyamin to return, and offered to serve as his slave in Binyamin's place. He explained that if Binyamin – the only remaining son of Yaakob's beloved wife, Rahel – would not return home, Yaakob might die.
The Torah then says that Yosef "could no longer control himself" and revealed himself to his brothers, telling them that he was Yosef.
The implication of the text is that Yosef had not planned to reveal himself at that point. Something Yehuda had said changed Yosef's mind, to the point where he had no choice but to reveal himself to his brothers. What changed?
We might suggest a novel explanation in light of the comments of the Sifteh Kohen to this episode. The Torah tells that just before Yosef revealed himself to his brothers, he cried loudly and bitterly. The Sifteh Kohen explained that these were the cries of Teshuba (repentance). Yosef at that moment was overwhelmed by grief and regret for the trouble he had put his father through all these years. After being released from the Egyptian prison, he did not contact his grieving father to let him know he was alive. And even when Yosef's brothers came to Egypt, he did not tell him who he was, and he caused his father even further grief by forcing his brothers to bring Binyamin. Yosef therefore cried in anguish, and exclaimed, "Is my father alive" – wondering if Yaakob could possibly still be alive after all the distress Yosef had caused him.
But this itself begs the question, why, in fact did Yosef not contact his father after being freed from prison? Why did he torment his brothers and his father by forcing them to bring Binyamin to Egypt? And why did he suddenly regret all this after hearing Yehuda's plea?
The answer might be that all along, Yosef figured that his brothers sold him with Yaakob's consent. After all, the Torah tells that Yaakob was angry at Yosef and criticized him for his dreams of leadership, and then Yaakob sent him to check on his brothers, who immediately threw him into a pit as soon as they saw him. Moreover, Yosef could not imagine that his brothers would do such a thing without their father's guidance. All these considerations led Yosef to the conclusion that Yaakob decided together with his brothers that he should be sent away from the family, and he specifically sent Yosef to his brothers for this purpose. Therefore, Yosef did not contact his father because he assumed his father did not want to hear from him, that his father wanted him out of the family.
But then Yosef heard Yehuda's plea. As part of his plea to Yosef, Yehuda explained why Yaakob did not want to allow Binyamin to go to Egypt. He said that Yaakob told his sons, "My beloved wife Rahel bore me two sons – one left from home, and I was told that he was devoured by an animal; and now if you take the other, I will leave this world bereaved." At that moment, Yosef realized the grave mistake he had made. Yaakob did not conspire with the brothers to send Yosef away from the family. Yaakob was bereaved all these years, mourning for Yosef, whom he thought was killed by an animal.
At this point, Yosef realized that Yaakob still loved him, and was pained by his absence all these years. And, Yosef realized that he had contributed to this pain and grief by not contacting Yaakob and by forcing him to allow Binyamin to come to Egypt. He cried out in Teshuba, and told his brothers who he was.
There is a very meaningful lesson to be learned from this explanation of the story. Many people make a similar mistake to Yosef's – they think that when misfortune strikes, their Father is sending them away and does not want a relationship with them anymore. But this is incorrect. Just as a father never gives up on his child, and always loves the child no matter what happens, likewise, Hashem, who loves each one of us more than any parent loves any child, never gives up on us. He always loves and cares for us, even when we think that He doesn't want us anymore.
Yosef regretted having assumed that Yaakob wanted him out of the family. We must learn from this story that our Father never wants us away from Him, that He always loves us and always wants a close relationship with us. He never gives up on us, so we must never give up on Him.

Q: How to do these types of MVC routing? I have two routes registered:
//News page routing with optional news article ID
routes.MapRoute(
name: "News",
url: "news/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "News", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

with the default link (no id) generated as: @Html.ActionLink("News", "Index", "News")
and
//User page routing with User ID
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Profile",
url: "{id}/{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

with the link generated as:
[a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Account", new RouteValueDictionary(new { id = "test-user-id" }))"]Me[/a]

All good so far, my News link created as domain/news and works, and Me link created as domain/test-user-id and works too.
But once I visit the Me link, the News link becomes domain/news/test-user-id, which is not what i want. How do I "separate" News id and User id using mvc routing??

A: In the News link your url has the controller first then the action.
You should follow the same pattern in the Me link. i.e.
{controller}/{action}/{id}

A: I'm not quite sure why that happens, but I have a couple of suggestions for the routing.  First, for the user route, remove the UrlParameter.Optional, since it is not actually optional.  Also, remove the {controller} and {action} from the URL template, since they are not necessary.
//User page routing with User ID
routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Profile",
    url: "{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Index" }
);

Second, use @Url.RouteUrl instead of @Url.Action for the profile link, as that more precisely targets the routing rule.
News:
@Html.RouteLink("News", "News")

Profile:
@Url.RouteUrl("Profile", new { id = "test-user-id" })

January 15, 2012 /in Probate Law /by Daryle C. Tibbs Esq.
Clients can avoid probate by making sure that any bank accounts and retirement accounts have a "transfer on death beneficiary" designated with the bank or account manager. Generally, you will be required to fill out TOD beneficiary designation forms when you open any type of retirement account; however, this practice is not common with regular savings, checking, or certificate of deposit accounts. In order to designate a TOD beneficiary for these accounts, the client will have to go to the teller and request a form to fill out to ensure their wishes are carried out.
Clients can "avoid probate" with property such as bank accounts and retirement accounts (as stated above), real property, life insurance policies, and vehicles. If a client successfully completes the paperwork for these items, these items will be kept out of the probate court. With that said, if the client owns other personal property at his death, the heirs will have to go through probate court to determine the proper disposition of the other property. This is where a will becomes very helpful.
If the client had a will at the time she passed away, the executor will be able to determine the decedent's wishes and distribute the property according to the directions in the will. If there is no will, the property will be distributed according to the (intestacy) laws of the state in which the decedent died. If you agree with the way the law distributes property when a person dies intestate, you may choose not to prepare a will at all; however, you must be familiar with the intestate laws in order to make that determination. I recommend seeking counsel when determining which estate planning tools are right for your specific situation.

Rapper DMX Is Expected To Be Released From Prison Today
Stewart Perrie
Last updated 9:56 AM, Friday January 25 2019 GMT
Rapper DMX is expected to be released from prison today, his lawyer claims.
After spending nearly a year behind bars for tax fraud, the 'X Gon Give It To Ya' singer is set to walk free a few days earlier than expected.
He was scheduled to be released on 27 January - however, as Vulture reports, inmates are allowed to be released on the Friday if their release date falls on a weekend.
His lawyer Murray Richman told the news site yesterday: "He's coming home tomorrow. I spoke to him; he's very happy.
"He's looking forward to being home. He's never been hotter than now - people have been seeking him out all over.
Mr Richman added that DMX, real name Earl Simmons, was 'terrific' in jail and didn't become a target because of his celebrity status.
He pleaded guilty in 2017 to tax evasion charges where he was accused of a 'multi-year scheme' that allowed him to avoid paying $1.7 million (£1.3 million) in taxes.

According to Vulture, he stayed off authorities' radar for years because he paid for everything in cash, he got other people to pay for things with his money and he even had a bank account that wasn't in his name.

"I wasn't following the rules," he said in court.
If he was convicted on every count, the maximum prison sentence he could have received was 44 years. Luckily for him, he only got less than a year.
When the charges were filed, acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim released a statement saying: "Celebrity rapper or not, all Americans must pay their taxes, and together with our partners at the IRS, we will pursue those who deliberately and criminally evade this basic obligation of citizenship."
While IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge James Robnett adds: "While most individuals file truthful tax returns and pay their taxes, the indictment against Mr. Simmons alleges various tax crimes, including that he failed to file personal tax returns for several years and did not pay his fair share of taxes."
This is far from his first run-in with law enforcement; he's had legal issues dating as far back as 1998. In the early 2000s, he was charged several times with marijuana and cocaine possession.
Simmons was also arrested in that time for violating parole, animal cruelty, criminal mischief, driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and attempting to carjack a vehicle.
After several more arrests, he was released from jail in 2010, when a TV show was meant to track his road to recovery after battling drug issues. But he was arrested three weeks later and the series never got off the ground.

Reviews of Economia
Geoff Davies turns his critical scientific gaze on contemporary economic orthodoxy and finds it deeply deficient. His work makes a strong case for a radical reconstruction of economic arrangements if we are to live more fruitfully and harmoniously.
– Frank Stilwell, Professor of Political Economy, University of Sydney.
Imagine a much more equal and inclusive society than we have now. It has old-fashioned family values, solid local communities, and full employment in an efficient and sustainable market economy with a debt-free money supply and no executive plunder. Impossible? Perhaps. But Geoff Davies' project is distinguished by such commonsense, hard science, practicality, surprise, fine writing and expert contempt for orthodox economics, it's a joy to read for visionaries and sceptics alike.
– Professor Hugh Stretton, social scientist and author of Economics, A New Introduction.
I find Davies' arguments refreshing and convincing. They cannot be ignored. … if Davies is even half right, we, the people, must urgently modify the economic model which drives all of our financial institutions, nearly all of our current politicians and all of our public services.
– Bob Douglas, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University, and Chair of the Board ofAustralia21, reviewing in The Canberra Times 13 March, 2004. Download the full review (pdf, 620 kb).
Everyone now knows that economics is a pseudo-science and that economists, in the words of the late Alistair Cooke, are "varieties of necromancers". Still, there are few books that set out clearly why modern economic theory is humbug. This remarkable book — which systematically pillories modern economic concepts, from globalism to laissez-faire economics — has been written by a senior fellow at the Australian National University whose field of expertise is geophysics. A geophysicist writing about economics? Well, better than an economist writing about economics. If you are depressed whenever you hear an economic argument that common sense tells you is rubbish, then this is the book for you. Davies dissects modern economics and intellligently argues that it is possible to create a new economic system that will benefit society. This may be utopia, but it is utopia beautifully argued.
– Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald Weekend Edition, April 24-25, 2004.
Davies has been very successful in bringing a wide range of related ideas together in an engaging and persuasive way. In addition his Part 7, Malign Money, provides a lucid explanation – which I have not seen elsewhere – of how the form of money supply chosen influences economic behaviour and social development – and of the damage caused by the neo-classical choice of monetary mechanisms.
– Change Management Monitor. Full review here; commentary comparing and contrasting Economia with Fritjof Capra's The Hidden Connections download (pdf, 88 kb).
. . . wonderfully readable and easily the most inspiring critique I have seen of the legalised robbery which passes for economic productivity these days.
– Brian Jenkins, Citizen's Voice, June 2004. Full review.
. . . one of the best analyses of the sustainability problem that I have so far encountered. . . The reader is taken on a journey of discovery that revolves around an excellent critique of economics, counterpoised against truly amazing insights into how all of life has self-organised from the simple origins of life through to the current complexity of the biosphere. . . . its lucid analysis from a systems perspective provides an excellent insight to . . .the often overlooked systemic role of the current financial system in driving unsustainability.
– Richard Sanders, CSIRO Sustainability Network Update 41E (pdf download, 464 kb). Full review.
For all its apparent logic and orderliness neoliberal economics is also deeply irrational, as Geoff Davies lucidly illustrates in his immensely readable Economia (ABC Books, 2004). . . . Davies, like many others is turning to an ecological model to explain our economic behaviour and its impact on the quality of our lives and on the planet.
– Keith Gallasch, RealTime magazine, June/July 2004: The arts, ecologically. Full article.


In recent years, improving the patient experience has been a prime focus for many healthcare organizations. Not only is this necessary to boost HCAHPS scores, perform well on MACRA metrics and meet other regulatory requirements, it is also essential when trying to expand market share, preserve patient loyalty and respond to growing consumerism. As individuals take on more financial responsibility for their care, they are becoming increasingly selective about where they receive services. They are looking for a quality experience that keeps their wants and needs at the forefront.
One area that could benefit from a more consumer-centric approach is the discharge process, especially for patients who must go to a post-acute setting to continue their recovery. Historically, hospital discharge planners have given patients a list of possible post-acute organizations and asked them to quickly choose where to go next. Patients and families frequently are unable to adequately research whether a potential facility is a good fit. They don't have the time to explore the assorted options, and in many cases, they are given less information on which to base this decision then someone who is searching for a hotel for an upcoming vacation. This can cause unneeded stress on both a patient and their family, as they can easily become overwhelmed with the process, unsure of their decision. If they want to research any further, they are left to their own devices. This can result in delays while the patient and family try to figure out next steps—not to mention poor patient satisfaction and risky transitions if the patient does not select the most appropriate facility.
Given the fact that a patient's long-term health outcomes can depend on the quality of the post-acute care he or she receives, it is easy to see why rethinking this process is critical. Moreover, the discharge experience is one of the last interactions a patient will have with the hospital. If it goes poorly, that can leave a negative long-lasting impression.
By considering the patient's needs first and foremost, organizations can reimagine their discharge efforts. This may involve starting discharge planning sooner, providing a targeted list of possible facilities and serving as a resource for decision making.
Begin right away. Physicians and nurses often know at the start of a patient's care episode whether he or she will require post-acute services. As such, they can begin preparing for discharge sooner. This could mean setting the stage with the patient and family so they know they will have to make a choice about a post-acute facility. It also could involve some upfront communication with care coordinators and discharge planners, so they can launch the planning process earlier. By starting the process sooner rather than later, organizations can allow more time for information gathering and decision-making.
Offer a focused list. Although giving the patient and family a generic list of providers has been the status quo, there is a better way. Hospitals and health systems can leverage technology to ensure every organization on the list is qualified and available to receive the patient. As the discharge date comes closer, care managers or discharge planners can enter details about a patient's clinical needs and personal preferences into care coordination software that simultaneously transmits referral requests to several potential providers, including skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies or other post-acute organizations. Those facilities that can accept the patient can respond electronically, often times within less than 30 minutes of receiving the patient's information. This lets the discharge planner present the patient and family with a qualified list of vetted options.
Serve as a resource for decision-making. To further assist patients and families, organizations can use care coordination solutions to share information about the various facilities. Using a tablet or other mobile device, discharge planners and care coordinators can share multimedia presentations about each facility right at the bedside. Patients and families can use these tools to compare features, assess quality ratings, look at customer reviews and so on. In a relatively short time, they can get a better sense of which location would be the best choice for them. Patients and families can even make the decision without having to drive all over town visiting the different options. As top selections are ranked, the technology can automatically record the activity to verify the patient's participation in post-acute care decision-making—allowing for better regulatory compliance for the organization.
Leaving the hospital and moving to the next care setting can be a stressful time for patients and their families. Hospitals and health systems that retool their discharge efforts can ease some of the stress while still ensuring the individual is matched with the most appropriate post-acute provider. As post -acute care organizations become more of a resource—doing some of the legwork and offering detailed information—they can help the patient and family feel more supported and at ease. Not only can this improve long-term health outcomes, it can also enhance patient satisfaction and in turn foster continued loyalty.

From editor or global species database
Identification Sollas (1888) in the discussion of Pachastrella monilifer (sic), admitted that he first thought that Schmidt's species Pachastrella abbyssi was a member of a new genus, which he intended to name Picraster, but when he later received a fragment of Schmidt's P.monilifera he realized that P. abyssi and P.monilifera were very similar. Subsequently, he abandoned the new genus, but in retrospect he should not have named the new genus. We keep it listed in the WPD to prevent potential use as a new genus name (the name is not listed in the Nomenclator Zoologicus). [details]

10 Bad Habits that Should Be Banned from the Workplace
Unhealthy work habits, like staring at computer screens and rushing through fast-food lunches, are taking their toll in the form of increased absenteeism, lost productivity and higher insurance costs.
Don't Skimp on Vacation Time
A survey for the career website Glassdoor found that U.S. employees use only 51 percent of their eligible paid vacation time and paid time off, according to a recent survey of 2,300 workers who receive paid vacation. Even more frightening, 61 percent of Americans work while they are on vacation, despite complaints from family members, and one in four report being contacted by a colleague about a work-related matter while taking time off, while one-in-five have been contacted by their boss.
Plan your vacations, take them, and enjoy yourself. Give yourself and your teammates permission to unplug.
You need to refresh and revitalize to be more effective. And, your family will love you for it. According to John De Graaf, who made a documentary about overworked Americans called "Running Out of Time," there is a high cost to not taking vacation. "Women who don't take regular vacations are anywhere from two to eight times more likely to suffer from depression, and have a 50 percent higher chance of heart disease," he says. "For men, the risk of death from a heart attack goes up a third."

As technology has evolved and more and more work is completed using computers, many workers have found themselves in sedentary office jobs. Leigh Stringer, author of "The Healthy Workplace," says it's not that we aren't working hard, but that "what our minds and bodies need at a basic level is in conflict with our work style. We are so focused on work, on getting things done, that we've changed the way we eat, move and sleep in a way that is actually counter-productive."
According to Stringer, taking care of worker health and wellbeing is one of the most effective ways to increase employee productivity and engagement. As an example, think back to a night when you got a full night's sleep and compare that to a night when you stayed out a bit too late with friends. How did you feel the morning after your night with friends? Probably not bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to take on the challenges of the day. It's important to put your health first, as everything hinges on that baseline.
So what are some of those unhealthy habits that we need to break? In this slideshow, Ms. Stringer offers up a comprehensive list of the "don'ts," with suggestions on what to do instead.

Newly Relocated Rose Canyon Bike Path Opens for July 4th Weekend
by Debbie L. Sklar July 4, 2019 July 5, 2019

The newly relocated and upgraded Rose Canyon Bike Path opened to the public on Wednesday afternoon, in time for the July 4th holiday weekend.
Relocating and upgrading the path was necessary to create space for two new tracks for the Mid-Coast Trolley extension, and a second heavy rail track for the passenger and freight trains that run through the canyon. When the trolley line opens in late 2021, this complete corridor will provide San Diegans with efficient multi-modal transportation choices.
"The Rose Canyon Bike Path is one part of the extensive Mid-Coast Trolley portfolio of projects," said SANDAG Chair and Poway Mayor Steve Vaus. "This new bike path is a great example of the positive impact the future trolley will have on the San Diego region for generations to come."
The approximately one-and-a-half mile stretch of upgraded bike path runs along Interstate 5 from the northernmost point of Santa Fe Street to the intersection of Gilman Drive and La Jolla Colony drives and will be used by more than 400 bicyclists daily. When complete, the path will connect to the future 44-mile Coastal Rail Trail that will run from Oceanside to Downtown San Diego.
The new bike path features 2,100 tons of asphalt pavement and more than 7,000 feet of new fencing and guardrail. Additional upgrades include striped lanes, underground utilities, and landscaping. Storm drainage has also been improved to prevent future flooding in this area, something that previously impacted cyclists and pedestrians traveling through Rose Canyon.
A 1,000-foot section of the new bike path, near Gilman and La Jolla Colony drives, will remain unfinished while crews complete construction of the Mid-Coast Trolley underpass. This section is anticipated to open in early 2020.
The new $1.6 million bike path was supported by a combination of TransNet, the regional half-cent sales tax, and Federal funding.
The Mid-Coast Trolley Project will extend Blue Line Trolley service from Old Town Transit Center to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Mission Bay, the VA Medical Center, UC San Diego, and University Towne Centre. Nine new stations will be constructed. Major construction work began in 2016, with service anticipated to begin in late 2021.

The Self and Perspective Taking
Contributions and Applications from Modern Behavioral Science
Louise McHugh and Ian Stewart
Foreword by Mark Williams
Relational Frame Theory
Helping clients cope with problems of self is an important goal of modern psychotherapy. However, without ways of understanding or measuring the self and self-relevant behavior, it's difficult for psychologists and researchers to determine if intervention has been effective.
From a modern contextual behavioral point of view, the self develops in tandem with the ability to take perspective on one's own and other people's behavior. This collection of articles by Steven Hayes, Kelly Wilson, Louise McHugh, Ian Stewart, and other leading researchers begins with a complete history of psychological approaches to understanding the self before presenting contemporary accounts that examine the self and perspective taking from behavioral, developmental, and cognitive perspectives. The articles in The Self and Perspective Taking also explore the role of the self as it relates to acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and mindfulness processes. Featuring work from world-renowned psychologists, this resource will help clinicians augment self-understanding in clients, especially those with autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and impaired perspective-taking abilities.

"Perhaps nothing is more important in psychology than the understanding of oneself as well as the ability to take the perspectives of others. This book offers a groundbreaking, cutting-edge, empirically-based contextual behavioral perspective on the self. For example, the authors show how perspective-taking is developed using basic science, going far beyond theory of mind and demonstrating how this knowledge can be directly applied to work with schoolchildren and in clinical settings. If you want a single book that includes both rigorous science and direct clinical applications on the self, look no further!"
-JoAnne Dahl, PhD, associate professor in the department of psychology at the University of Uppsala, Sweden
"This remarkable edited book offers a dense and tantalizing pragmatic analysis of the self and consciousness. It is one of the best contemporary evidence-based accounts of the nature of human consciousness that I have seen, period. A must-read for anyone curious about the human condition, especially readers interested in language and cognition, acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches, positive psychology, and newer third-generation behavior therapies."
-John P. Forsyth, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program at the University at Albany, State University of New York
"In this authoritative volume, the world of self, identity, mindfulness, and emotional disturbances is infused with exciting new theories, methods, and results. The chapters illustrate how this mixture of science and application provides the potential for designing new therapies and improving the quality of people's lives."
-Todd B. Kashdan, PhD, professor at George Mason University and author of Curious? and Designing Positive Psychology
"This book on recent advances in our understanding of the concept of the self exemplifies the saying that "there is nothing as practical as a good theory." The authors cover modern scientific findings and, more remarkably, manage to illustrate how these findings are relevant for psychological treatment. A must-read for anyone with an interest in the concept of the self, scientist and clinician alike!"
