McConaughey briefly attended Stephen F. Austin University in Texas to become a wildlife conservationist. He then enrolled himself at the University of Texas but didn't complete his studies there, either.
At the age of 30, McConaughey earned a lot of money by selling and buying oil pipes and supplies for the oil fields. However, he lost that money in a year. But with his sheer hard work and determination, he managed to rebuild his fortune.

McConaughey continued, "My wife gets pregnant and all my buddies are going, 'Hey man, get ready. Your life's gonna change. You can't go be riding 'round with that Miller Lite all the time. Because you're gettin' ready to have a kid.' And I went, 'You know if things work out, I'll be able to take Miller Lite to church.'"
"And I sure as hell did! [My son is named Miller Lyte. But it's] L-y-t-e. And so, I got away with it. So my wife gets pregnant again and she goes, 'I'm naming this [one] and you stay out of it,'" McConaughey further added.

McConaughey's wife decided to name the baby Margarita, after her grandmother. But in the meantime, they couldn't come up with a middle name. He explained, "She looks over at me and goes, 'Can you help us come up with a middle name?' I said, 'I thought y'all didn't want me to have none 'do with it!'"
He added, "So I threw out Olympia. They jumped all over it. Little did they know that was the name of a beer. I named my little daughter after a dead beer. But now they're making it again. And as I tell Miller Lite, if y'all don't start sponsoring us, I'm gonna start drinking Olympia again."
Reportedly, Rooster McConaughey is not with his second wife anymore and is currently married to Erica McConaughey.

Brazil and Russia may exit BRICS warns phrasemaker
Brazil and Russia's membership of the BRICs may expire by the end of this decade if they fail to revive their flagging economies, according to Jim O'Neill, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist who coined the acronym.
Asked if he would still group Brazil, Russia, India and China together as emerging market powerhouses as he did in 2001, O'Neill said in an e-mail "I might be tempted to call it just 'IC' or if the next three years are the same as the last for Brazil and Russia I might in 2019!!"
The BRIC grouping will be dragged down by a 1.8 percent contraction in Russia and less than 1 percent expansion in Brazil, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. China is seen growing 7 percent and India 5.5 percent.
The BRICs were still booming as recently as 2007 with Russia expanding 8.5 percent and Brazil in excess of 6 percent that year. The bull market in commodities that helped propel growth in those nations has since ended, while Russia has been battered by sanctions linked to the crisis in Ukraine and Brazil has grappled with an unprecedented corruption scandal involving its state-owned oil company.
"It is tough for the BRIC countries to all repeat their remarkable growth rates" of the first decade of this century, said O'Neill, a Bloomberg View columnist and former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management International. (GSGEPPA) "There was a lot of very powerful and fortuitous forces taking place, some of which have now gone."
The growth slump this year isn't a new normal though and O'Neill sees expansion in Brazil and Russia partially recovering, helping the BRICs average about 6 percent growth per annum this decade — still more than double the average for the Group of Seven nations.
Their share of global gross domestic product will "rise sharply," he said.
O'Neill had previously estimated average annual growth of 6.6 percent for the BRICs this decade, a pace it was close to achieving through last year mainly because China exceeded the 7.5 percent annual average growth he estimated for the first three years, he said.
Unlike Brazil and Russia, China is embracing economic change while India, after the election of Narendra Modi as prime minister and benefiting from low oil prices and a young labor pool, may have brighter prospects this decade than last, O'Neill said.
With China and India spurring growth, the BRICs will remain the most dominant and positive force in the world economy "easily," said O'Neill.
China growing at 7 percent will add about $1 trillion nominally to global output every year, O'Neill said. When measured by purchasing power parity, China's growth adds twice as much as the U.S.'s, he said. India expanding at 6 percent will add twice as much as the U.K. in those terms, he said.

At PopCom, we believe successful brands are intelligent, mobile, and resilient–and we engineer our automated retail solutions to be exactly that. Our mission is simple: equip entrepreneurs and brands with future-ready retail solutions that allow rapid retail expansion, incredible customer experiences, and powerful sales data.
At the cross-section of explosive e-commerce growth and waning brick-and-mortar sales lies a extraordinary opportunity: the chance to provide a real, in-person experience for customers and instant delivery of products–all without the traditional challenges of brick-and-mortar retail.
PopCom, Inc. (formerly Solutions Vending, Inc.) is the company behind PopCom Kiosks and the PopCom API. Since our founding in 2012, we have strived to push the boundaries of the automated retail industry.
Like many companies, PopCom is a company that was born out of necessity. Our founder and CEO, Dawn Dickson, created the company after her own struggles to find vending machines that could sell her roll-up flat products (flatoutofheels.com) at high-traffic areas like airports. Also absent was the data she relied on to track and monitor traffic and conversion rates through her website and shopping cart; analytics, email collection, retargeting, remarketing–arguably the tenants of successful sales growth–were not possible with traditional "dumb" vending machines. Dawn then assembled a team that came together to change automated retail forever: PopCom was born.

Wouldn't it be less hassle if hooking up the boat trailer was as easy as putting the truck in reverse?
Actually — with assistance from a cool little techno tool — it is. Engineered by the optics experts at Outdoors Insight, the 5.8-GHz iBall Wireless Trailer Hitch Camera offers a sweet solution to one of the most common dilemmas in the entire auto world— hitching the trailer to your truck, all by yourself.
There are two ways to make the critical connection: (1) Take your best guess at blindly lining things up, hopping out of the automobile a hundred times to check your progress — only to discover you missed the mark and have to attempt a complete do-over. (2) Snap an iBall Camera to your bumper and guide your vehicle to an immediate hole-in-one.
The two-part iBall system employs a small wireless camera — powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery — and a compact color LCD that plugs into your vehicle's power port (cigarette lighter). The camera features an industrial-strength magnet that mounts to nearly any metallic surface on or near the bumper, tailgate or hitch. The gimbal-mounted camera can also be pivoted in any direction and is even submersible — in case you back a little too far down the boat ramp. The camera itself offers a 120-degree field of view for optimal visibility.
Inside your vehicle, you can view the trailer's hitch as it approaches the ball and adjust steering accordingly, the first time, every time. For comfortable ergonomic viewing, the 3.5-inch iBall LCD even sports a handy adjustable gooseneck for easy re-positioning. The usually aggravating process now takes seconds rather than minutes.
While the iBall Wireless Trailer Hitch Camera will certainly get you on the water faster and with less stress, it's equally valuable for any trailer — whether it's a boat, camper, ATV, utility or horse trailer in need of a tow. The iBall works for other trailering applications, too, such as monitoring an RV, backing into a cramped garage or launching at a busy boat ramp. Simply connect the camera to the back of the boat, camper or anywhere else it's needed. When you're done, stow the portable iBall camera and monitor conveniently in your glovebox.
Transmitting on a crystal clear 5.8-GHz frequency, the iBall Camera works perfectly and without interference in the presence of other wireless devices, such as a 2.4-GHz Bluetooth signal. Boasting a transmission distance of up to 100 feet, iBall is durable, weather resistant and versatile. An internal, rechargeable battery powers the camera for hours and includes a USB charging cable.
Portable, affordable and super convenient, the new 5.8-GHz iBall Camera system retails for just $169.95 — compared to similar integrated backup cameras that cost thousands at the dealer. Available exclusively online, the iBall even comes with free U.S. shipping and a full 90 day warranty. To learn more or to order, visit www.iBallHitchCam.com.

Not just one, or two: How many lies a politician can tell before Australians distrust them
Australia votes
By Joe Hinchliffe
January 12, 2019 — 3.53pm
We're told we've entered the era of "post-truth" politics. But while that might be true of the United States, there may be hope yet for Australians who believe facts matter.
Here, voters across the political spectrum are willing to stand corrected when presented with facts and may also turn off a politician who repeatedly tells furphies.
But in the US, voters may stubbornly back their candidate despite repeated "alternative facts".
These are the findings of a team of Australian and US psychologists who are asking the question: does truth matter to voters?

In a paper published in Royal Society Open Science, the team analysed 370 Australians' responses to a series of claims made by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.
Some were true, others were not. Afterwards, the participants were shown fact-checks of those statements.
Researchers found the corrections "strongly reduced" belief in what they called "myths" on both sides of the political spectrum. That is, voters were willing to accept that they had swallowed a fib.
They also found that support declined for politicians who were caught telling "myths" – but only if they told enough of them.
Participants had to be given a ratio of four false claims to one statement of fact before they changed their view about a politician.
These results contrasted sharply with a follow-up study in the US.

There, even when voters were presented with statements from Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders which were 80 per cent "myth", their feelings towards them "hardly shifted".
RMIT ABC Fact Check chief academic investigator Gordon Farrer said Australia's compulsory voting system and the highly partisan nature of US politics were likely factors in those findings.
"The trick [in the US] is to get people out to vote, and to do that people often say wild and misleading things," he said.
Mr Farrer said Australian politicians were still guilty of cherry-picking facts, spin and misinformation – but that those who were successful "pitched to the middle".
The RMIT lecturer and former journalist with The Age said the paper's findings were encouraging, as they came amid a "big debate" about whether fact-checking was effective at all.
That was because a body of research had found most people came to positions "based more on emotion and gut-feeling" than fact.
While Mr Farrer said fact-checking units had been made necessary by the rise of social media, more effort was needed to combat false claims which could now readily enter the public sphere.
"The best thing you can do to deal with the issue of fake news, misinformation, alternative facts, post-truth, all that sort of stuff, is not to try to correct misinformation after it's out in the public," he said.
"It's to stop it from getting out there in the first place but, also, to give people the tools to deal with that information."
That is why he has helped set-up RMIT's new subject on fact checking and verification skills.
Launching this year, the university is touting the course as the first of its kind in Australia.
Despite the somewhat encouraging findings for truth-loving Australians, the paper did finish on a sobering fact.
That was, participants in the study were unable to avoid fact-checks.
"In reality, some people may not encounter any fact-checks at all," the paper reads.
And both the paper and Mr Farrer warned people might eventually forget about being corrected and fall back on their default position.
The future of liberal democracy depended on overcoming our "epistemological crisis", he said.
"Politics is in danger of breaking down if people aren't able to or willing to make determinations based on factual information," Mr Farrer said.

FRIDAY, December 17th: There will be no deal, according to Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com (Twitter link). Reyes' agent told MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, "We hit a snag." Suarez chose not to clarify.
THURSDAY, December 9th: The Phillies agreed to sign Dennys Reyes to a one-year deal worth $1.1MM, according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer (Twitter links). The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a 2012 option worth $1.35MM. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes add details, via Twitter, noting that the club option, which has a buyout worth $150K, becomes mutual if Reyes appears in 70 games in 2011. Agent Oscar Suarez represents the 33-year-old left-hander, who is set to join his 11th team.
Reyes appeared in 59 games last year and posted a 3.55 ERA with 5.9 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9. Those numbers look OK, but the lefty pitched to a 5.91 ERA after posting a 0.54 ERA through May. He can induce grounders, but he walks more than one batter per two innings pitched.

In 2005, he won a trademark infringement suit on behalf of Yamaha against four notable Chinese enterprises. The PRC's Supreme People's Court held the Chinese enterprises liable for trademark infringement, awarding Jun's client 8.3 million RMB (1.1 million USD) in damages, which Jun's team was able to successfully collect in full. This case was the largest amount of damages ever awarded to a foreign company for trademark infringement in China.

Elizabeth Warren Is In
Senate via ZUMA Wire
So. Elizabeth Warren. I guess I should noodle out loud about what I think of her. This is all pretty vague and unformed, but here goes:
First things first: she's obviously a solid progressive who would support progressive goals like universal health care and so forth. However, we're going to have a lot of candidates who fit that mold this year.
I like the FDRish way she defends capitalism and just wants to save it from itself.
I'm not so thrilled—yet—with her foreign policy. She sits on the Armed Services Committee as an obvious way to shore up her military cred, but her big speech recently on foreign policy fell flat for me. She tried to make it all about applying her progressive domestic values to foreign affairs, but that just doesn't cut it. At some point, she's going to have to take some firm stands on real foreign policy issues that aren't just extensions of progressive domestic values. What does she think of China? Russia? North Korea? Israel? Yemen? Iran? Saudi Arabia? Free trade? NATO? Nuclear modernization? Ohio class submarines? Cyberwarfare? Etc.
She gave a speech a while back about shoring up private pensions: 401(k)s, IRAs, and so forth. I liked it. Portable pensions are obviously here to stay, and it's better to talk about how to make them better than it is to moon forever about the loss of old-school company pensions—which weren't all that great anyway.
I'm not sold at all on her idea of the government manufacturing generic drugs. Governments should do the kinds of things they're good at, and this is definitely not one of them. What's more, if you really are a capitalist at heart, you should consider direct control of manufacturing as a last resort after you've tried everything else. The fact that Warren is proposing it as a first-best solution does not leave me with the warm fuzzies about her judgment.
Let's face it: her handling of the whole Pocahontas/native heritage affair was pretty ham handed. As an issue, it doesn't matter that much. But as an indicator of how well she handles difficult situations, it might not bode well.
She has very little political experience. But I don't know if that even matters anymore.
Overall, Warren still strikes me as a bit shallow, a candidate with one big issue and not too much else. But she has plenty of time to fix that.


A hot startup company is way more fascinating to Americans than the financial turmoil engulfing a country that's been around for thousands of years.
At least that's the takeaway from U.S. search traffic on Google. Greece may be teetering on the edge of default, but that's not bothered too many Americans.
U.S. users who turn to Google (GOOG) are twice as likely to search for "Uber" and 10 times as likely to search for "jobs," according to an analysis of U.S. Google Trends data by ConvergEx.
Even Taylor Swift is beating out the birthplace of the Olympic Games that is now home to 11 million people. Swift, the American popstar who just outmaneuvered Apple (AAPL), draws three times the number of searches as Greece.
"One person versus a whole country, and the country loses. In other words, American consumers think a lot more locally -- and personally than globally," Nick Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx, wrote in a Tuesday note to clients summarizing the Google Trends findings.
Interestingly, searches for "Greece" in the U.S. are roughly the same as they were in the mid-2000s -- long before the never-ending saga over Greece's debt problems. Google users did ramp up their searches during the height of the crisis in 2010 and then again last summer. But they've come back down since then.
All of this shows how the Greek crisis isn't rattling everyday Americans -- despite the daily gyrations in financial markets, especially overseas.
Global stocks -- including in the U.S. -- soared on Monday after Greece made progress with its creditors on a deal to release 7.2 billion euros ($8 billion) in bailout loans.
Greece needs the cash otherwise it could default on loans from the International Monetary Fund. The fear is that a default could force Greece out of the eurozone, wreaking havoc on its economy and calling into question the future of the currency bloc.
Related: Is it time to consider a rainy day fund?
It's probably not a bad thing that Americans aren't that worried about developments in Greece.
After all, the U.S. economy is highly dependent on people shopping -- two-thirds of economic activity is driven by consumer spending. If the crisis in Greece had a chilling effect on consumer confidence, it'd be bad news for the economy.

Parking lots are often risky places for fender bender accidents in Los Angeles. Some people haphazardly park their cars and proceed with their daily business, unmindful of the damage they have caused on others. The result is often disappointing and creates inconvenience when someone backs up and hits your rear end.
1. Check if there is someone injured inside your vehicle (an infant or a child). Try to see if someone is injured in the other vehicle.
2. Inspect the damage that occurred on your vehicle and the other party.
3. Exchange information such as contact number, name, address, and insurance data.
6. Take photos of the accident scene. Capture angles showing most of the damage. This will serve as evidence in case you will file an insurance claim or a lawsuit.
7. Try to reach an amiable settlement on the amount of property loss.
8. Have your car assessed by an auto body shop and get an estimate total car value.
9. Contact your insurance representative and file the insurance claim.
1. If you have no fault in the fender bender accident, and you have no previous record of accident; you may petition for a no premium increase.
2. If you have a fault, your premium will slightly increase; yet retain existing privileges.
3. If you a have a fault in the parking lot accident and you caused injuries to the other party, your premium will increase by 20 to 25 percent. You may lose some insurance privileges.
4. If you are constantly involved in an accident, your insurer may not renew your insurance policy.
Consult with a fender bender insurance expert, personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles to learn more on how you can make a defense.

Financing Your Graduate Education
Are you thinking about graduate school, or are in the middle of the admissions process? If so, you might be thinking about how you will finance your education. Financial aid looks a little bit different for graduate school than it does for your undergraduate education, but there are many excellent resources out there to help you think through this important piece of graduate school planning.
A few things to consider as you are in the planning stages:
What types of graduate programs are you interested in, and what is the culture of these programs? Are you considering medical school, which might be loan-heavy, or a PhD program that might fully finance your education?
What costs will I incur in the admissions process, and what my budget look like while I'm in graduate school? You will want to consider application fees, entrance exam fees, plane tickets, and lodging for interviews in the admissions process. How wide is the geographic net you are casting?
Do you have some time to chat with current graduate students about their experience? LinkedIn, Pioneer Connect, and your professors/lab mates are incredible resources to connect you with graduate students who have experienced financing their educations firsthand.
If you have the chance, take some time to chat with an admissions counselor for the graduate programs that interest you. Often times, you can get questions answered about institutional aid for graduate school, and for the specific programs that interest you.
Idealist is an incredible resource for tips on financing your education. Not only does Idealist offer resources for finding volunteer experiences and nonprofit opportunities, it also has a YouTube channel with tips and tricks on graduate school planning.

Whether to lose weight or simply to have a healthier diet, food rebalancing allows you to reconnect to your plate by being more aware and active in what you eat. Overview of the rules to follow to initiate a real change and preserve your health capital in a sustainable way.
Who is the target audience for food rebalancing?
As its name suggests, food rebalancing is aimed at people who do not have a balanced diet and want to change their eating habits. These may be people who have gone on diets and lost the simple and healthy pleasure of food. Because diets are not the best way to lose weight. Often drastic, they are difficult to maintain over time, often cause the famous yo-yo effect (rebound effect) and also present a risk of social isolation due to their restrictive nature.
They may also be people who have changed their diet according to the evolution of their personal lives – entry into student life, first job, move, birth, etc. In all these cases, food rebalancing makes it possible to regain control of your diet to lose weight permanently or simply to eat better while having fun.
Dietary rebalancing follows simple rules that everyone can adapt to their daily routine. To further improve the results, it is advisable to consult a nutritionist who will help you create a program tailored to your needs.
Make an inventory of your eating habits. Before tackling the solution, we must understand where the problem comes from. It may be interesting to record meals taken over a few days before starting to rebalance the diet. For this, applications such as MyFitness Pal can be useful. The latter makes it possible to scan the barcodes of food and calculate the number of calories consumed during the day.
This objective observation phase will allow you to see if you are eating too much calories, too much fat, too much sugar, or not enough fibre.
Estimate your daily needs. Depending on your morphology and activity, you do not have the same needs as your loved ones. Again, tools can help you estimate your needs. Then, depending on your goal (losing weight, stagnating, gaining weight), you should vary your calorie intake by more or less 200 kilocalories per day – especially not more, at the risk of falling into an eating disorder or not achieving your goals.
Initiate change. Once the problem has been identified (you deprive yourself too much? you underestimate the caloric intake of certain foods?), you must initiate the change. There is no point in changing everything overnight. Start by improving your breakfast, for example (wholegrain bread rather than industrial cereals). And progress week after week by seeing the changes in your metabolism (more energy in particular).
To eat a balanced diet, it is necessary to avoid (or even eliminate) industrial dishes that contain hidden additives, salt and sugar; but also to favour whole starchy foods that satisfy over time and provide good nutrients. You must vary your diet by combining starchy foods, vegetables, fruits, good fats (avocados, oilseeds), proteins (vegetable or animal) and hydration.
To please you. Dietary rebalancing is not a diet. It's about eating better, but you can eat anything. And that's exactly what it takes! Feel free to play with the colours of your dishes or the flavours on the plate. Cook with friends or family.
Getting organized. Junk food is often due to a lack of time. It is faster to buy a prepared meal or order online than to cook every night, of course. But eating well is a matter of organization, as the followers of the "meal prep" know, this tendency to devote a few hours of the weekend to the preparation of the week's meals.
For example, peeling and cutting vegetables in advance, cooking large quantities of rice. The idea is that when the evening comes, when your stomach screams famine, you only have to do the minimum to compose your meal by picking a handful of olives, mushrooms, rice and tuna for example. Your body will thank you.
If it seems too complicated to start with, you can make simple and quick recipes like bowl cakes or adapt your usual dishes by changing the portions (more vegetables and less starches). Many blogs or Instagram accounts provide easy and balanced recipe ideas for a balanced diet.


If you remember, a while back I wrote a blog post about my love affair with zip loc bags. Well, I have just received a very promising gift this holiday season and am very excited about the prospects! Let me introduce you to the Vejibag.
This organic cotton bag claims to be able to keep your produce fresh for 2 weeks instead of using plastic bags. What? really?? I have struggled with this because plastic has been the only way I can seem to keep, for example, my carrots and greens staying fresh without going limp.
Hooray! this may be a new love affair I develop. Check them out through the link and see for yourself how you might be able to reduce the use of plastics in your home and life. I'm going to give it a try this week. I'll give you an update if all goes well ( and even if it doesn't).
If you have any other ideas I am totally open to them.
Looking forward to hearing how it works for you.

New York City Part 2
September 3, 2015 Alex Appelquist	2 Comments
Here is my post on New York City continued from Part 1:
The next day, my dad, sister and I got up and searched for a better place to have breakfast which was on the way to Lower Manhattan, where we would be spending most of our morning. We found a place on 23rd Street called Malibu Diner, which had many good reviews on Google, so we went there.
The food there was very good, authentic diner food. I got some delicious french toast with strawberries and blueberries.
Malibu Diner
After leaving the Malibu Diner, we walked back along 23rd Street to see if the Lego Store, which we had came across looking for Malibu Diner, was open yet. It was closed (it was quite early in the morning), so we took the R line Subway (one of the yellow lines) from 23rd Street station down to Rector Street, near where the World Trade Center (where we were to go next) is. We also saw the nearby Flatiron Building, which was built in 1902 and was one of the most famous landmarks in NYC.
One thing about the Subway that surprised me was that there are beautiful mosaics at many stations from when the stations were first built. At 23rd Street, for example, there are lots of mosaic hats on the walls.
Mosaic at 23rd Street Station on the NQR Lines
When we exited the subway, we walked over to the World Trade Center complex and first visited the 9/11 Memorial. There are two very big pools where the original twin towers once stood, and plaques with the names of the victims of the 9/11 attacks (on September 11th, 2001) surround them. I felt sad and angry that such an attack had to happen.
The 9/11 Memorial
Afterwards, we walked over to One World Trade Center, also known as Freedom Tower, which is a huge, newly built skyscraper with a height of 1,776 feet (541 metres). We then entered the building at the One World Observatory entrance because we had booked tickets to go up to the observatory at the top of the tower. I was very excited to see the views of New York from the top.
The three of us, along with many others, got into an elevator, which surprisingly took us straight to the 102nd floor!
We got out and watched a movie showing scenes of NYC, which opened up to reveal an amazing view of NYC from a height of 1,254 feet (382 metres). I found that a bit overwhelming, personally. Afterwards, we went downstairs to the 100th floor, where the rest of the observatory is, and continued to admire the impressive 360-degree views. You can see across the Hudson River to New Jersey, all of Manhattan (including a great view of the Manhattan skyscrapers), many of the other boroughs of NYC (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island) and also the Statue of Liberty.
View from One World Observatory
When we were done seeing the impressive views of NYC, we walked over to Chinatown, passing the famous Brooklyn Bridge, to have lunch at a restaurant called Joe's Shanghai. It is known for xiao long bao, or soup dumplings. When we entered, we were sat at a large communal table because the place was crowded. We then ordered pork soup dumplings, as well as regular pork dumplings and cold sesame noodles. All the things were very good, including the soup dumplings, which have pork soup, which tastes a bit like a thin gravy, in them.
For dessert, we walked over to nearby Little Italy for some gelato from a street vendor. I got strawberry flavour, which was almost as good as Grom's gelato. We then walked to Prince Street Subway station to take the yellow NQR lines back to our hotel.
Next, after relaxing at the hotel for a bit, we walked along 29th Street over to the High Line, a pedestrian walkway which opened in 2009 and used to be a rail line, on the West Side south of Midtown. Unfortunately, there was no entrance on 29th Street, so we had to walk one street down to 28th. The walkway, which was surprisingly crowded, had plants growing on either side of the footpath.
The three of us then walked down the High Line towards the newly reopened Whitney Museum, which displays contemporary and 20th Century American Art. I really enjoyed walking down the elevated walkway and passing alongside many buildings. We then entered the museum, which was also crowded, and saw many different works of art, a few about 9/11, and a painting from 1930 of a New York street called Early Sunday Morning by Edward Hopper. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture from the museum because I wasn't sure if photography was allowed.
For dinner, we walked down Hudson Street, through the West Village, to a place called Cowgirl. The restaurant had a Wild West atmosphere, with cowboy-type décor. We were served with corn chips and a bean dip to start, and then our food came. I had ordered chicken enchiladas, which were very nice. The restaurant is family-friendly, by the way.
Finally, we walked to Christopher Street–Sheridan Square station to take the 1 line (one of the red lines) Subway back to our hotel. On the way, we stopped at the Lego store, which was open.
The next day, we did not do much, as we were leaving NYC that day. However, we did have a walk through Times Square. It was impressive, all the neon signs on the sides of buildings. We then had a nice breakfast at another diner, called Cosmic Diner. It was not as good as Malibu Diner, but better then the place we ate at the first day.
Afterwards, we walked back to the hotel and packed for our train journey onward to Washington DC. Finally, we walked to Penn Station, which was near our hotel, and got onto the train.
I had such a wonderful time in New York, and I feel like I did just about everything I had wanted to do there, from walking through Central Park and along the High Line to going up One World Trade Center and trying soup dumplings! The weather made it all the more enjoyable: it was sunny but not too hot. New York City certainly lives up to its reputation.

Part 2 left me wanting more. I get so hungry after reading your blogs — the descriptions of your foods are really terrific. I also note you walk a lot and don't seem to tire — always eager for another adventure. The walk over the old El sounds wonderful NY managed to make a silk purse out of a sows ear!!! Look forward toy our next blog.

Congratulations on another well written and very entertaining post!
You ought to consider a career as a restaurant critic. The food you have on your travels is a very important part of the experience.

Textron nabs $20.7M contract modification for Navy drone program
The Unmanned Influence Sweep System, accompanied by an escort vessel, heads out for an Operational Assessment mission off the coast of South Florida in November 2019. The UISS consists of an unmanned surface vehicle and a towed minesweeping payload for influence sweeping of magnetic, acoustic and magnetic/acoustic combination mine types while keeping warfighters out of the minefield. Photo courtesy of U.S. Navy
May 9 (UPI) — AAI Corp., doing business as Textron Systems, was awarded a $20.7 million contract modification Friday for work on the Navy's Unmanned Influence Sweep System and Unmanned Surface Vehicle program.
According to the Department of Defense, this week's deal modifies a deal originally awarded in September 2014 for work on the UISS, which consists of a mine countermeasure unmanned surface vessel and is designed to operate as part of the littoral combat ship (LCS) mine countermeasure (MCM) package.
Unmanned surface vehicles, or Naval drones, are boats that operate on the surface of the water without a crew.
According to the Pentagon, the UISS program is intended to satisfy the Navy's need for a rapid, wide-area coverage mine clearance capability which are required to neutralize magnetic/acoustic influence mines, while also providing a high-area coverage rate in a small, lightweight package with minimal impact on the host platform.
Work on the contract will be performed in Hunt Valley, Md., and Slidell, La., with an expected completion date of September 2021.

Larry Bilodeau – Chair
Larry Bilodeau took up the role of Chairman at Tauranga Foodbank in 2018 after retiring from his previous role as CEO at Ballance Agri-Nutrients. " I volunteered because I feel that the Foodbank is a great cause to be part of," Bilodeau said. "Too many people aren't able to feed their families, while others have so much. That has always bothered me and is the reason why my support of Foodbank is something I am very happy about".
Originally from Thunder Bay, Ontario in Canada Larry's first work experience involved balancing on a narrow steel beam several stories up as a high rigger on building sites for his father's construction company. He moved to NZ around 1997 first to New Plymouth managing the Kapuni Urea factory before a move to Tauranga, and to Ballance where he was CEO for 14 years. Tauranga's golf courses are a huge attraction for him, although anything outdoors – fishing, hunting and tramping pretty much sums up where he likes to spend his time.
Lyn Voyde
Lyn Voyde was born and schooled in Auckland. She studied BCom at Auckland University and for a number of years travelled extensively through North & Central America, Europe, UK and Australia. Lyn has been an accountant, organic orchardist and vegie grower and worked for Auckland City and Auckland Council for 15 years. She is now retired in Tauranga where she enjoys Steampunk, Rotary, dog sitting, helping people and making new friends.
Nikki Findlay
Nikki has lived in Tauranga since she was 12 so it is very much home to her with community being very important. To live in a place where people care about others and are willing to help motivated her to become a Foodbank trustee, as well as being a home tutor for English Language Partners teaching "Kiwi English" to migrant students.
With her husband Markand their two dogs, Nikki loves the lifestyle Tauranga offers with its beautiful beaches and weather and for the simple luxury of living close to work. She sees Foodbank as a true lifesaver for many and loves the positive effect it has on the community, not only for those who receive food parcels but for the volunteers and the donors as well. As a Foodbank trustee she would like to see more collaboration between all charities and support organisations in our area to ensure we are achieving full wrap-around support to those in need.
Philippa de Vere
Philippa de Vere has had an extensive involvement as a volunteer within the not-for-profit sector. She had many years volunteering with the Girl Guides before becoming involved with Tauranga Foodbank more than seven years ago, first as a volunteer packing food parcels and working in the distribution centre and then just over three years ago as a trustee when she joined the board. She finds her trustee role most rewarding. Especially gratifying is the increased level of self sufficiency and sustainability of Foodbank made possible only because of the tremendous support from donors and from the incredible team of volunteers.
Sue Van Os
Sue was born and bred in Tauranga. She left as a teenager to study, work and live overseas and on her return to New Zealand and Tauranga she began her involvement with community volunteering.
Her first connection with Foodbank was as a donor and that led to becoming a volunteer and ultimately a board trustee.
The efficiency and the way the organization operates is something that impresses Sue greatly as does the commitment to connect and collaborate with as many organisations as possible.
"Those who support us can be assured that every food parcel that goes out is going to someone or a family who truly needs it" say Sue."
Sue can't speak highly enough about everyone involved with Foodbank, from the trustees to the staff, to the volunteers who really care about the work they are doing. She has a great regard for the wonderful volunteers who have their own challenges in their lives because of their special needs.
Sue's work for the community goes beyond Foodbank as she is also a trustee for Te Aranui Youth Trust and a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs, her puppies in their red coats being a common sight at the Foodbank.
Laura Mueller
Laura Mueller has been a trustee of Tauranga Foodbank since 2016. Her association started as a volunteer, a role she found extremely rewarding interacting directly with those who Foodbank is there to help. As a trustee Laura brings skills, acquired through her small business, accounting and governance experience, that assist the board in ensuring the sustainability of what is a vital service to the Tauranga Community.
Laura has a BA in Psychology and a Juris Doctor degree (Law) and since 1999 sits as a Disputes Tribunal Referee at the Tauranga District Court. She was a lay member of the Medical Council of New Zealand from 2009 – 2019 and for the last 5 years the Deputy Chair. Laura is an elected member of the board of Consumer NZ.

The second versus third Southern Combination League Division One encounter ended in a 2-2 draw after Bexhill had 2-0 at half time.
Light said: "It was a game of really good quality between two teams that should be in a higher division. It was a real spectacle of an afternoon and had a big game feel to it.
"It was a little bit disappointing at the end, but I didn't want us to feel disappointed because it had been such a great effort and a great game.
Bexhill remain four points behind Steyning and five ahead of fourth-placed AFC Varndeanians. Bexhill and Steyning each have two games left, and Varndeanians three.
"We want to finish third and we need to make sure we finish third - and secure that highest finish for the club in many years," continued Light.
Bexhill are away to seventh-placed Hailsham Town on Easter Monday (kick-off 11am) and eighth-placed Mile Oak the following Saturday.
"It's always a tough place to go," said Light, of the Hailsham clash. "They always roll their sleeves up and get stuck in.
Andy Atkin is unavailable for Monday's match, but fellow forward Drew Greenall is expected to return.

Vitamin D Supplementation May Improve Symptoms and QOL for Pediatric Patients With IBD
Investigators assessed the effects of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and quality of life in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Results of a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial showed children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) appear to benefit from supplementation with vitamin D. These findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology.
Patients (N=98) with IBD aged 5 to 18 years were recruited between 2017 and 2018 from the pediatric and gastroenterology departments of Tanta University in Egypt. All children had low (<20 ng/mL) baseline vitamin D levels. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 2000 IU/day oral vitamin D3 (n=50) or placebo (n=48) for 6 months. The effect of vitamin D supplementation on IBD activity score and quality of life (QOL) were assessed.
The intervention and control cohorts were aged mean 13.4±1.2 and 13±1.6 years, the girl:boy ratio was 29:21 and 26:24, 54% and 54.2% had Crohn disease (CD), IBD duration was 3.3±1.3 and 3.21±1.4 years, and serum vitamin D levels were 13.4±2.7 and 14.5±3.2 ng/mL, respectively.
At 6 months, supplementation was associated with increased serum vitamin D and interleukin (IL)-10 (both P =.001) and significantly decreased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), fecal calprotectin, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), IL-17, IL-12, and IL-23 (all P =.001) concentrations compared with placebo.
Among the supplement and placebo cohorts, 8% and 33.3% had active disease (P =.02), 16% and 37.5% had relapsed (P =.001), 12% and 31.3% had visited the emergency department (P =.01), and 10% and 27.1% had been hospitalized (P =.02), respectively.
The vitamin D supplementation decreased Pediatric CD Activity Index (mean, 13.6 vs 27.5; P =.001) and Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (mean, 11 vs 21.8; P =.001) and increased QOL scores (mean, 159.9 vs 119.2; P =.01).
Serum vitamin D levels were significantly negatively correlated with inflammatory markers ESR, CRP, fecal calprotectin, TNF-a, IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23, as well as with IBD activity score, emergency department visit, and hospitalization frequency (all P £.03).
This study was limited by including only a single treatment dose and schedule. Additional study is needed to assess which dose best improves IBD symptoms and QOL.
These data indicated that pediatric patients with IBD may benefit from supplementation with vitamin D, improving disease symptoms and QOL.

Kim Jong-un's Hostile Regime Arrests Fourth U.S. Citizen—and Christian—as Tensions Mount

Kim Hak-song, a professor at North Korea's Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), a Christian and a U.S. citizen, was arrested on May 6, 2017. Kim is the fourth American to be arrested under North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's regime, and he likely won't be the last.
Hak-song was detained while journeying by train from Pyongyang to China's border town Dandong. In a message posted by Kim Hak-song on a Korean-Brazilian church's website in Sao Paulo, he identified himself as a Christian missionary trying to start an experimental farm at PUST to help North Korean people learn to become self-sufficient.
Hak-song is the second professor from PUST to be detained; fellow professor Kim Sang-duk was detained while trying to fly out of the country in April. The university was founded in 2010 by evangelical Christians, and the faculty is composed of many volunteers who are also Christians.
Fifty-something-year-old Kim Hak-song joins his fellow professor, 22-year-old student Otto Warmbier, and 62-year-old missionary Kim Dong Chul, to become the fourth U.S. citizen in North Korean prisons. Another missionary, a Canadian pastor named Hyeon Soo Lim, is also currently serving a hard labor life sentence.
When Professor Kim Sang-duk was arrested, PUST released a statement saying the arrest was "related to an investigation into matters that are not connected in any way to PUST." It is highly possible the two professors were arrested for any work they were doing outside of the university that could have been perceived as having an agenda to proselytize North Korean citizens.
In a short statement, the U.S. state department has acknowledged this latest arrest. Open Doors, a nonprofit organization committed to serving persecuted Christians, ranks North Korea as the worst persecutor of Christians in the world. Open Doors reports that church meetings, owning a Bible and even prayer are against the law under Kim Jong-un's regime.
The regime has cited "hostile acts" against it as the reason for Hak-song's detention. The timing of the arrest could point to increased tension in U.S.-North Korea relations as U.S. leaders try to diffuse nuclear threat.
