Oil keeps plunging. Here's why.
OPEC's strategy to pump like crazy despite collapsing oil prices seems to be finally paying off: The U.S. oil industry is showing cracks.
Oil supply from non-OPEC countries is set to slow dramatically next year and slip into its first contraction since 2008, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday in its monthly oil market report.
And the IEA said the U.S. will be the hardest hit, as more oil producers rethink their priorities and cut production.
"While some producers might be successful in lifting output in the short-run, we expect the majority will struggle to sustain higher rates over longer periods due to steep spending curbs," the report said. The IEA monitors energy market trends for the world's richest nations.
The U.S. drilling activity is already down steeply from the October 2014 peak; 59% fewer rigs were operating at the end of July. Oil hit a six-year low of $43.08 a barrel on Tuesday, dimming hopes for a significant uptick in activity any time soon.
OPEC, the 12 nation cartel led by Saudi Arabia, has embarked on a fierce battle over its market share last November. It refused to cut output in the light of lower prices, hoping instead to squeeze its rivals with higher production costs out of the market.
Resilience from the U.S., Russia, and other non-OPEC countries has led to the biggest oil glut in 17 years.
But something had to give. The IEA said oil's second lurch below $50 per barrel has prompted more oil companies to take an ax to production.
Non-OPEC output is forecast to add 1.1 million barrels a day to average 58.1 million barrels a day in 2015, and contract by 200,000 barrels a day in 2016. That compares with record growth of 2.4 million barrels a day in 2014.
Meanwhile, OPEC output might increase further in 2016. Its member Iran is eager to take advantage of the proposed nuclear deal and regain its status as a global energy power.

Burns yet to contact selectors about his spot on Australia's side
Joe Burns has been frustrated by his form this summer and is unsure where he sits in a Boxing Day Test selection showdown against Shaun Marsh.
Usman Khawaja scored a sparkling Big Bash League century for the Sydney Thunder on Sunday night in his return from a hamstring strain.
Khawaja is set to be recalled for Australia's second Test against the West Indies, leaving Burns and Marsh pitched in a battle for one spot.
Burns arrived in Melbourne on Tuesday, with chairman of selectors Rod Marsh yet to address the elephant in the room.
"No contact, everyone's been busy with the Big Bash and their different franchises," Burns said.
"It's not until you all get together that you catch up again.
"I'm just focused on getting to each day, training as hard as I can with a view to making sure I'm ready to play."
Australia will train on Wednesday, when the selectors' thoughts could become clearer.
"It's going to be a tough call," Burns said.
"All the players will understand selection is part of the game … it's not the end of the world. You're going to be there to support your mates and try and help them through it if they're feeling a little bit down."
Burns has played all four Tests this summer, opening the batting alongside David Warner following the retirement of Chris Rogers.
The 26-year-old celebrated his maiden Test ton in Brisbane but since then has logged scores of 40, 0, 14, 11 and 33 for Australia and scoring 16 of 16 in his first BBL outing with the Brisbane Heat.
"It's been frustrating because as a opening batter the hardest thing to do is probably getting a start," Burns admitted.
"To go on and waste it, to make some 30s and 40s – it doesn't really count for much.
"The satisfying thing is I am getting a start … but the frustrating part is that with those starts you should be making 50s at least and 100s ideally."
Warner has been one of the mentors helping Burns as he attempts to change that.
"I've been quite lucky, he's kind of taken me under his wing a little bit," Burns said.
"He's tried to teach me as much as possible."
Marsh scored 182 as Australia crushed the West Indies in Hobart, while his 49 helped steer the hosts home in the inaugural day-night Test against New Zealand.
The much-maligned West Australian also scored an impressive 47 off 35 in the Scorchers' BBL loss to Adelaide.
Khawaja scored two Test tons prior to breaking down and is fully expected to be rushed back into the XI. -AAP

'Excited About the Future Because I Have a Future' — Finding an Answer Through Gene Sequencing
For 22 years, South Carolina native Brentney Simon and her family thought she was living with a fatal mitochondrial disease.
From the time she was born, Brentney has faced a host of medical concerns. At first, her doctors didn't think she would walk or talk. Brentney proved them wrong. But over the years, she struggled with respiratory difficulties and heart problems. She contracted pneumonia several times and required multiple hospitalizations. Her physicians found a severe curve in her spine.
Through it all, Brentney never stopped fighting, living her life as fully as possible, even though participating in activities that most children and teens take for granted was a struggle. Despite her challenges, Brentney kept up with her schooling and enrolled in college, determined to get a higher education and realize her goals for a career.
Recently, Brentney's health took a turn for the worse, and it was suggested her organs were failing. She refused to give up. Instead, Brentney came to Mayo Clinic's Florida campus and through and Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine, underwent whole-exome sequencing in search of a better explanation for her health problems.
Through that testing, her Mayo Clinic physicians discovered Brentney has two novel variants in her RYR1 gene. This new diagnosis means there is a very different future in store for Brentney. Contrary to what Brentney was told earlier, her care team does not believe her condition is fatal. Today, because her physicians now know the cause of her symptoms and better understand how to manage them, Brentney has hope for a long, productive life ahead and confidence that she can reach the goals she wants to achieve — including graduating from college.
"I've had a lot of things that I've had to deal with, but still I wasn't going to let it defeat me. I wasn't going to let it define me," Brentney says. "Yes, I have this disease and this condition. But I'm not the disease or the condition."

Stephen Glover) has become a household name and it all started when he snatched a video camera from his father's closet when he was fifteen years old. From there he started producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behavior.He was born in London and by the age of twelve, had lived in five countries and communicated fluently in three different languages. He holds citizenship in three countries - the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.After finishing high school in London, and completing a year at the University of Miami, Steve-O realized that college wasn't for him. He enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College to help further his goal of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers.Eventually, Steve-O's videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Creator/Director/Producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000. In 2001, Steve-O launched his own "Steve-O Don't Try This At Home Tour", establishing himself as an accomplished stage performer, at venues throughout the U.S. and in a dozen countries.When the JACKASS TV series ended in 2002, the team moved on to JACKASS: THE MOVIE, released by Paramount in October of that year. Shortly thereafter, Steve-O and fellow JACKASS alum, Chris Pontius, were given a spin-off show entitled WILDBOYZ, which aired on MTV and MTV2 and lasted four seasons. In 2006, Paramount released JACKASS: NUMBER 2 in theaters and Steve-O continued to thrill audiences with his outrageous stunts.In 2009 he competed on ABC's hit show, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and lasted six weeks, despite an injury and having virtually no dancing ability whatsoever.In 2010, Paramount released JACKASS: 3D. Since then, Steve-O has become a New York Times Bestselling Author with the release of his memoir, 'Professional Idiot,' and has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. Thus far (and still counting), his career as a performer has brought him to a total of 38 countries, and his first hour-long comedy special, GUILTY AS CHARGED, recently premiered on Showtime and performed in the top one percent of all Showtime comedy specials.Most importantly, however, Steve-O has been clean and sober since March of 2008 and lives a healthy, vegan lifestyle in the Los Angeles area...but he still has no problem stapling his balls to his leg.


GREENVILLE � Bert Diener�s law firm is being audited by the IRS.
The longtime legal counsel of former state Rep. Stephen LaRoque found his business, Diener Law Firm, under the IRS� microscope after receiving a letter from the agency April 25.
During cross examination in LaRoque�s fraud trial Thursday, Joe Cheshire � representing LaRoque in the current matter � asked Diener about previous conversations with federal investigators.
Diener said the questioning became contentious, later alleging Assistant U.S. Attorney Dennis Duffy accused him of lying, to which Diener took offense.
Both Diener and Duffy agreed they �butted heads� at the meeting.
After a series of meetings, Diener said he received a letter from the IRS.
�There were questions and documents were requested from me and my wife� regarding his representation of LaRoque, including checks, Diener said.
He said he came to that assumption after consulting with his attorney, who is handling his side of the audit. The process officially began on May 20, the first day of the LaRoque trial.
Following the audit announcement, Duffy asked Diener why he hadn�t told prosecutors of the audit when they met on May 9, as the audit request came from the IRS� civil division. Diener admitted he told the defense about the matter and would have told the prosecution, but he said he thought it was already aware.
In addition to representing LaRoque and his family in personal matters, he also provided counsel to LaRoque�s East Carolina Development Company. His firm acquired loans from ECDC, as well.
Duffy presented evidence that Diener�s firm shouldn�t have received the loans because it moved its Snow Hill headquarters to Greenville, which Diener said was news to him.
Early on, with offices in Greenville, Kenansville and Snow Hill, the firm took out a $100,000 loan from ECDC to expand, under the requirement of retaining six jobs and adding two new jobs.
In addition to that loan, Diener Law Firm took several loans � paying them back on schedule, Diener said � and adding what Diener said amounted to 27 new jobs.
The firm has since expanded to Clinton, Mount Olive and Smithfield. Diener said the U.S. Department of Agriculture knew everything that was going on and he wasn�t aware anything was wrong until the investigation and trial.
Under prosecutors� allegations that bills for services rendered may have been inappropriately cut for LaRoque and entities he was involved with, Diener said it was common practice, and none of his clients paid full price.
Diener also represented LaRoque in his defamation case against then-Rep. Van Braxton in 2010. Diener said he told LaRoque to be careful, but that LaRoque said he had nothing to hide.
Following the election, Diener said the momentum behind the case fell apart and both sides wanted it to end, but that Braxton and the N.C. Democratic Party received documents through discovery that were not public records and were not otherwise available.
He testified it was his opinion at the time that the information was leaked by less than honest means to N.C. Policy Watch, which published an in-depth piece alleging misdeeds by LaRoque with ECDC.
The prosecution countered and Diener said he never saw the checks from ECDC to LaRoque Management Group that were part of the defamation allegation.
At the end of his testimony, Diener said the audit struck home.
The prosecution called up Teresa Decker in the afternoon, initially running through seven fiscal years of financial documents. Decker testified she�s worked for Kinston-based Lloyd Moody, CPA for 37 years and prepared the ECDC financial documents.
Duffy asked her if, from the 2002-03 fiscal year to the 2008-2009 fiscal year � running from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30 � if there were any line items relating to accrued earnings or deferred compensation, and she replied no.
In the �08-�09 year, Decker confirmed it was the first time there was a line item for �other loans,� saying LaRoque asked her to make it separate from the intermediary relending program loans.
Under questioning from the prosecution, Decker said she was instructed on Aug. 23, 2011 � one week after LaRoque�s news conference about Braxton�s allegations � to change the compiled statement from FY 2009-10.
While saying it was not an unusual practice to receive notice to go back and make changes, Decker said she was told by LaRoque and auditor Angie Johnson to add $192,257.92 in accrued contracted services � money owed to LaRoque.
On cross examination, the defense entered into evidence 40 pages of bank reconciliation documents that were understood to have been handed by LaRoque to Decker for use in compiling the financial statement, going from June 2009 to August 2011.
Defense attorney Elliot Abrams pointed out, and Decker confirmed, checks from ECDC to LMG showed the notation �loan against current earnings,� done at zero percent interest, beginning on June 26, 2009 with a $150,000 check.
Further checks, as the defense presented and Decker confirmed, were similar in nature.
Lloyd Moody�s wife, Susan, who also works with the firm, finished up the day�s testimony with a discussion of LaRoque�s personal and ECDC�s tax records that at a number of times led to confusion on both the part of the prosecution and the witness. Her testimony should conclude today, along with the testimony of Lloyd Moody.
Following attorneys� discussion with U.S. District Judge Malcolm Howard, it�s anticipated the prosecution will wrap up its case today. Cheshire said to The Free Press he intends to call LaRoque to the stand Monday.
Cheshire said his case should only take a couple days, but he couldn�t comment on the length of the prosecution�s questioning of witnesses.


Margaret was a few years older than me.
but we all loved her and she loved us.
She loved people, especially children.
She always had a glimmer in her eye of fun.
She trained to be a teacher and taught school for many years.
In her summers instead of taking it easy, she would go to Jamaica, not for a vacation, but to help missionaries.
She was the mother of four lovely children, Beth, Stephen, Jon Mark and James.
Sadly, she died at the young age of 39, just months before my dad.
Her life, joy and enthusiasm are greatly missed!
She too, like Mom and Dad, loved the Lord very much.
She lived for him in every aspect of her life.
I know she is in heaven and is waiting there for all of us.
Lord there is none like you.


Leaving Halifax County on a wintry January day, approximately two dozen men travelled seventy miles to Edenton and kidnapped Francis Corbin. The land agent was hauled back to Halifax County and sequestered in Enfield with his subordinate Joshua Bodley. After four days, the two co-agents agreed to demands to be more transparent in their official operations, and the rioters were assuaged—at least temporarily. What transpired those four days is known as the Enfield Riot (1759).
Once the strongest Algonquian tribe in North Carolina, the Chowanoac, or "people at the south," thrived in areas that now make up the Bertie, Chowan, Gates, and Hertford Counties. Ralph Lane and other English explorers first encountered the tribe in 1586. Between 1666 and 1676, several conflicts led to the downfall of the once powerful Native American group. By the 1750s, the Chowanoac had sold most of their land holdings to English colonists.
An eastern Siouan tribe that once resided in the southeastern part of North Carolina and upper sections of South Carolina, the Waccamaw lived, hunted, and fished along the rivers and swamps of the region. The Yamassee and Tuscarora Wars proved detrimental to the Waccamaw, a tribe that remained in relative obscurity until the late eighteenth century. Although the federal government has yet to recognize the tribe, North Carolina has recognized the Waccamaw, and some 1,500 members reside in Bladen and Columbus Counties.
Governor of North Carolina from 1699-1703, when North Carolina was still under proprietary rule, Henderson Walker is known for being the executive during a time of economic growth and overall peace. However, his efforts to have the Anglican denomination become the official church of the colony angered a few and contributed greatly, some argue, to the later Cary Rebellion.
North Carolina developed four different state seals during the colonial period and there have been six state seals since North Carolina declared its independence. While the Great Seal changed many times throughout North Carolina history, some variations on symbols have remained and appear on the current Great Seal.
Philip Alston, the original owner of the House in the Horseshoe, led a life surrounded by controversy and later mystery. Alston's attempts at political advancement plunged him into a bitter rivalry that marred his reputation.
Antifederalist Timothy Bloodworth's letters are scarce. Most of what we know is from what his contemporaries remarked and from his comments during the ratification debates.

Exporting is exchanging of wealth between countries. Exporting is simply selling to a more worldwide market. This means of selling gives great benefits to small and medium scale business who are finding it difficult to penetrate the local market or there are no market existing on the country and exporting requires less capital investment.
Exporting is also heavily supported by government agencies and sometimes there are also detractors from the importing countries. Of course, local businesses will be affected from importing goods and services.
Exporting is not an easy venture and there are many complexities involved such as cultural differences, conflicting trade theories, and opposing political policies.
There has been an exponential increase in export and import for the past decade between many nations and it is time to consider doing so as well.

Q: What is the practical benefit to putting t.Parallel() at the top of my tests? The go testing package defines a Parallel() function:

Parallel signals that this test is to be run in parallel with (and only with) other parallel tests.

However when I searched the tests written for the standard library, I found only a few uses of this function.
My tests are pretty fast, and generally don't rely on mutating shared state, so I've been adding this, figuring it would lead to a speedup. But the fact it's not used in the standard library gives me pause. What is the practical benefit to adding t.Parallel() to your tests?

A: This thread (in which t.Parallel is conceived and discussed) indicates that t.Parallel() is intended to be used for slow tests only; average tests are so fast that any gain from parallel execution would be negligible.
Here are some quotes (only from Russ, but there wasn't much opposition):
Russ Cox [link]:

There is some question about what the right default is.
  Most of our tests run so fast that parallelizing them is
  unnecessary.  I think that's probably the right model,
  which would suggest parallelizing is the exception,
  not the rule.
  As an exception, this can be accommodated having a
      t.Parallel()
  method that a test can call to declare that it is okay
  to run in parallel with other tests.

Russ Cox again [link]:

the non-parallel tests should be fast.  they're inconsequential.
  if two tests are slow, then you can t.Parallel them if it bothers you.
  if one test is slow, well, one test is slow.

A: This seems to have been brought up first on the golang-dev group.
The initial request states:

"I'd like to add an option to run tests in parallel with gotest.
  My motivation comes from running selenium tests where each test is pretty much independent from each other but they take time."

The thread contains the discussion of the practical benefits.
It's really just for allowing you to run unrelated, long-running tests at the same time. It's not really used in the standard library as almost all of the functionality needs to be as fast as possible (some crypto exceptions etc.)
There was further discussion here and the commit is here

Anthony Warde
Anthony Warde (November 4, 1908 - January 8, 1975) was a noted American actor who appeared in over 150 films between 1937 and 1964. A native of Pennsylvania, Warde started his Hollywood career in Escape by Night , appearing in a handful of undistinguished feature films before gaining popularity as one of the hardest working henchmen in the 1930s and 1940s serials. Warde first appeared in his first film bow in 1936, but he spent most of his time bothering serials heroes as a vicious bodyguard, underground leader or infamous rustler, but also was satisfactory in character roles and the occasional sympathetic part. Usually, he played in many unsavory characterizations, including low-budget crime and Western styles throughout his career. He also appeared in popular serials such as Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938), for Universal; The Spider Returns (1941) and Batman (1943) for Columbia, as well as in The Masked Marvel (1943), The Purple Monster Strikes (1945) and The Black Widow (1947) for Republic . But Warde is probably best remembered for playing Killer Kane, gangster ruler of the Earth in Universal's adaptation of Buck Rogers (1939) .

The idea of an addictive personality is that a specific set of personality traits predispose an individual to developing an addiction. The idea of a predisposition to addiction also assumes that there are commonalities among people with various addictions, which in turn relates to personality traits.
Addictive Personality: Are some people more likely to become addicts?
Some experts believe that people may be predisposed to developing addictive behavior due to factors such as genetics, mental illness, and even gender. Some even claim that all self-destructive actions are due to addiction. Addictive substances activate the reward system in a user's brain, and the brain wants to repeat the behaviors in order to trigger the reward.
Learning theory suggests that the brain learns what to do to based on what makes the body feel good.
Disease theory is based on a one's vulnerability to becoming an addict.
Addictive personality and addiction predisposition are controversial ideas. Due to insufficient scientific evidence, experts refute these theories. As such, addictive personality is not an official diagnosis.
Addicts have a tendency to hide their problematic behavior from their loved because they are ashamed of it. Nevertheless, addicts continue to abuse the substance that has become their obsession. As a result of this habit, addicts may experience depression and aggressive behavior. Furthermore, they become unable to control their compulsive demeanor and deny that there is a problem which needs to be addressed.
What are personality traits of addicts?
Alcohol and drug abuse are the most common types of addiction. When we hear the word addict, the first thing that comes to mind is a type of psychoactive substance.
What are common risk factors for addiction?
Addicts share a number of risk factors. Addicts are usually under a lot of stress and have major self-esteem issues. They cannot delay gratification and therefore act impulsively. A situation of that nature can be very dangerous for the people around them. Addicts may have a depressed and antisocial demeanor, along with health-related and other social issues.
Are there certain risk factors that can cause a person to become an addict? The answer to this question is unclear; however, one of the most common factors supporting this idea is the history of addictive behavior in one's family. Furthermore, environmental factors should not be ignored, especially if the individual lives in a community where drugs are very common.
Looking at the factor of age, some experts suggest that if a person consumes drugs at a young age, they are more likely to become an addict by the time they reach adulthood.
A person's psychology can also be a risk factor for addictive behavior; one's personality traits and history of a mental illness, for example.
Despite many common traits, there is not enough evidence to support the theory of an addictive personality. Consequently, experts cannot agree whether addictive personality disorder exists and is diagnosable. What seems undeniable, however, is that addicts do have some similar behaviors and risk factors.
Addicts all show signs of drug-seeking behavior, they tend to manipulate and lie to their loved ones, and they are not able to quit without professional help.


Really enjoyed the tour and Jesus did a great job!
Jesus is extremely intellegent and knowledgeable about anthropology, archeology, architecture, history, etc and a fantastic storyteller. We thoroughly enjoyed the Teotihuacan tour and especially the stop at the Shrine of Guadalupe - such a significant cultural and religious icon, can't be missed. His tours are perfect for those looking for in-depth knowledge of the rich Mexican culture. His brother, Mario, was our driver and so kind. Wished we had booked Jesus for a tour of the Anthropology Museum!!
Five stars! Jesús was kind, patient, and extremely informative. He was very flexible in finding interesting places to visit on a Monday, when most things are closed, and adapted the tour as we went to match our interests. The van was very comfortable as well. Highly recommend!
Jesus was great! He was punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a lovely tour, and a very delicious lunch!!! Everything was well planned and organized.
A very friendly, warm, and knowledgeable tour guide. I would book Jesus again in a second, and will recommend him to friends. This tour was a fantastic highlight of our trip and we really appreciated Jesus' hospitality!
Jesus did a terrific job of guiding us through the history, art and culture of 20th Century Mexico. His knowledge of the life and times of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera taught us many things we didn't know. He also introduced us to the culinary delights of a nearby Mercado that was teeming with sights, sounds and smells of Mexican cuisine. In other words, we had a blast!
This was a great tour and I highly recommend Jesus as a tour guide. It was awesome to see the monarch butterflies and Valle de Bravo. Jesus is an excellent guide and did a great job.
Best ever! Very knowledgeable and gracious host for the day. Wonderful breakfast, too! Simply not enough good things to say about Jesus and our adventure. Worth every dime.
Jésus, our guide, and his brother Mario, our driver, were a delight to spend a day with. They were knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny and affable. We were picked up promptly. During our 2.5-hour drive, Jésus combined the right balance of informative conversation and silence. The Sanctuario was an amazing experience-the long migration of the monarchs is a fragile mystery. We were rewarded by a show of thousands. We stopped for lunch at picturesque Valle de Bravo. I highly recommend Jésus and Mario.
Juan was knowledgeable and friendly. The transportation was clean and timely. My only complaint was that the lunch spot was terrible: horrible food and a tourist spot designed to cater to bus tour crowds. We requested a different restaurant but felt steered to this one.
This tour made visiting these historic sites effortless! Jesus was very informative and helpful. We were able to see the sights before the major crowds hit and not worry about a thing. Only complaint was the subpar food at the lunch restaurant we went to.
Jesus is incredibly knowledgeable about history, art and culture, which makes him a perfect guide. His tour of the Rivera murals was outstanding as was his tour of the Anthropology Museum. An added benefit is that his brother drove us around! I am sure he would be perfect for any tour. Vicki and Terry A.
Excelente guía, muy cumplido, tour muy completo, quedamos muy satisfechos, fue mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Vale mucho la pena.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Muchas gracias por su recomendación, fue muy agradable trabajar con ustedes y espero volverlos a atender, su amigo Jesús.
Jesus was wonderful! We enjoyed all the deep history he shared and his easy going attitude. You should definitely take one of his tours.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Jesus. He adapted the tour to meet our needs; he was extremely knowledgable and friendly. We will definitely book one of his other tours when we return to Mexico City.
It was a pleasure to have Jesús as our guide for the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Tour. He was knowledgeable, pleasant and flexible. He even fit in some extra stops! He was very understanding and made sure we had enough time at each stop. We highly recommend him.
Jesus was just AWESOME. The depth of is knowledge of the city is pretty impressive. He was a great resource for where locals dine too. Loved the tour.
Jesus was amazing, his knowledge of history and local foods was superb! We really enjoyed our day with Jesus and his brother. He is very kind and a pleasure to be around, we will definitely book with Jesus on our next trip to Mexico City!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much!!! Was a pleasure to attend you friends and I hope to see you again¡¡¡ Take care¡¡¡ Jesús.
Jesus was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend. Thoughtful and knows what he is doing. We were in good hands with him and really enjoyed the tour. Took us to some nearby spots that I don't think typical tour guides would visit...and really those were some of the best parts of the tour. Friendly, professional, timely... don't hesitate to book time with Jesus.
Jesus was an excellent driver and guide for myself (78 years old) and my two daughters. He understood our physical limitations at the pyramids and provided entertaining and educational information on the great cathedrals and ruins.I give Jesus a five-star rating!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much my friends, thank you so much for your time and your attention, you are great persons¡¡¡ I hope you have a great time in México. Your friend Jesús.
Jesus and his brother Mario were fantastic guides! Jesus's knowledge of Mexican history and culture was very impressive. He was very conversational and entertaining. They made the entire day very memorable and satisfying!
Jesús was a fantastic guide. We're so glad we started our trip to CDMX with his Teotihuacan tour, it gave us a wonderful and honest overview of the history, customs, and culture of the city. Jesús was accommodating, knowledgable, flexible, and I feel like he really went out of his way to tailor the day to our interests. Highly recommended!
Great tour ! The ballon ride was an unforgettable experience. Jesus was a great guide and organized the best options available! Best ballon company and breakfast place! He was flexible with our needs and gave us a great tour at Teotihuacan! Thank u Jesus!!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you¡¡¡ for be such a wonderfull persons, I feel great because I know that you spend a wonderfull day¡¡¡ You are the 4 super Team leadies¡¡¡ I hope to see you again¡¡¡ Take care¡¡¡ Your friend in México Jesús.
Jesús's english is very good, and arrived promptly as arranged. His friendly manner will put you at ease quickly, especially if you are foreign to Mexico. His day-long tour through the Historic District and the museum of Archaeology highlighted his extensive knowledge of history and cultures of the people of Mexico, particularly of the Mechican and Aztec cultures. He also is quite learned regarding the architects and artists of more recent centuries, especially Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo.
We went on this tour as a group of 4 adults and 3 children. The van was comfortable and picked us up promptly. Jesus was knowledgeable and provided many interesting facts throughout the day. We would highly recommend this tour!
Jesus was amazing and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable and answered every question we threw at him. I would request Jesus any time I came back to Mexico City.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much Aaron, is always a pleasure to attend wonderfull people like you guys. I hope to see you again¡¡¡ Your friend in México. Jesús.
Jesus was very knowledgeable and took care to ensure everyone was comfortable and informed. He was considerate of everyone's needs and made the tour as pleasant and enjoyable for all. I would definitely take another tour with Jesus.
Jesus was fantastic! He picked up or group of 8 promptly at the agreed upon time in his spacious and comfortable van. It was immediately clear that Jesus is very knowledgeable. He provided an excellent overview of the relevant history and thoughtfully answered all of our questions. He was also extremely flexible - we had people leave early to catch flights are changed our drop off location last minute, but Jesus pivoted seamlessly. 10/10 would recommend!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very very much for your comments CJ, you and your friends are great persons, I hope to see you again. Your friend in México. Jesús.


Qaf. By the glorious Quran, We-SWT have sent you as a warner.
Aye! They marvel that a warner has come to them from among themselves, and so the infidels say: This is a tiling wonderful.
Shall we be brought back when we are dead and have become dust? That is a return remote!
Surely We-SWT know what the earth consumes of them, and with Us-SWT is a Book preserved.
Aye! They denied the truth when it came to them; so they are confused in the matter.
Have they not looked up to the sky above them; how We-SWT have constructed it, and adorned it and that there is no rift therein.
And the earth! We-SWT have spread it forth, and have cast upon it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it every manner of beautiful plant.
An insight and admonition for every penitent bondmen.
And We-SWT have sent down blessed water from the heaven whereby We-SWT have caused the gardens to grow, and the grain reaped.
And tall date-palms laden with ranged clusters.
As a provision for Our-SWT bondmen; and with it We-SWT made the dead land alive. Such will be the coming forth.
Denied before them the people of Nuh-AS and the dwellers of Rass and the Thamud.
And the 'Ad, and the Pharaoh and the brethren of Lut.
And the dwellers of the wood, and the People of Tubb'a. Each one belied the Messengers-AS, and so My--SWT judgement was fulfilled.
Are We-SWT then wearied with the first creation? Aye! They are in doubt regarding a new creation.
Qaf. By the glorious Quran, the most meritorious amongst all revealed Books, whatever is revealed in the forthcoming passages is nothing but the truth, proven both logically as well as through evidences revealed before. The infidels marvel how a human being can be raised as a Prophet-AS. What he preaches is even incredible that once they die and are reduced to dust, they will be quickened.
Allah-SWT declares that human being thinks by his own fallible knowledge and shortcomings, whereas He-SWT knows exactly where precisely the particles of a dead body are in the dust. His-SWT knowledge is eternal and ancient. When nothing existed He-SWT knew what was to happen and where every atom would eventually end up. These afterall are the scattered particles of soil which, in the form of food arid medicine, unite to build a human body in this temporal life. They cannot be so widely scattered after death as they were before birth. Why, then can the dead not be quickened? The knowledge of every affair is safely stored in the Guarded Tablet. The reason for the skepticism of people is their infidelity for they repudiated the true Din offered by the Holy Prophet-SW and as a result their hearts were stuffed with doubts.
Why don't they ponder over the heaven, how Allah-SWT has stretched it over the entire universe, and also adorned it? No seam can be observed in its structure nor any effects of wear and tear ever appear. And the spherical earth has been spread out, with pathways and natural boundaries separating regions and continents. Giving special features to different places, He-SWT has grown a variety of plantations. Everything is but a combination of different atoms which have not come together by accident but by a deliberate plan of the Absolute Creator. A careful thought over these realities is sufficient to guide the one inclined to discover Him-SWT .
The perfected water cycle leads to downpour from the sky and orchards bearing multifarious fruits, vast fields of crops laden with grain, and tall date-palms carrying clusters of dates grow as the provisions for His creation. It is the combination of different atoms destined to form different thing, including human bodies. Fruits and crops decay after the season and the land turns barren. Life is restored once again by Him through rainfall. Similarly, on the Day of Qayamah the particles of every human body will be brought together and quickened.
If the infidels still deny, they indeed follow the people of Prophet Nuh-AS and the dwellers of Ar Rass (The Well). The latter, also the followers of Prophet Salih-AS , who were spared the doom and had migrated along with Prophet Salih-AS to settle down by a well, where the Prophet-AS passed away and the place became known as Hadhr al Maut They subsequently digressed from the Prophet-AS's path and were ruined . Prophet Salih-AS's nation, the Thamud, was destroyed earner, as were the Ad, a mighty nation indeed. The Pharaoh, Prophet Lut-AS's people, the People of the Woods, unto whom Prophet Sho'aib-AS was sent, and the nation of Tubb'a mentioned in Surah Dukhan, were those who had refuted the Messengers-AS of Allaah-SWT.They were subjected to the promised punishment and their ruins can be seen all over the land. Or is it that the infidels suffer from misconception that the Absolute Creator is exhausted after creating once and will be unable to do it again! A foolish idea without any evidence, for His-SWT Omnipotence is endorsed by ample evidences.

Dear Zazz: I'm a reporter--or perhaps I should say I was a reporter--on a big Chicago newspaper. I come into contact with all kinds of important people every day, but none of them ever meant squat to me until the day I met HER. She was young, smart, attractive, moving up in the world. My heart went zing!
Little did I know that my job would go zing not long after.
I'm telling you, Zazz, one minute I was in love and the next my whole life was turned upside down. The problem was--she's got a big job with the city and I was supposed to be writing about her. You know--getting all the dirt, keeping her honest with the taxpayers' money.
How could I stay objective and stay in love?
So I told my boss about her and asked to be given a different assignment. All he did was give me another beat in the same building, so I still saw her every day.
She meant a lot to me. I couldn't help talking about her to the guys in the newsroom. Maybe I was living off some of her fame and they got a little jealous.
I even gave up my own time to sit in on her campaign meetings, even though some of her workers wondered what a reporter was doing there.
Well, after a while she dumped me, but we still stayed friends. And when she got into trouble with her own boss, I gave her a little advice. My bosses at the newspaper found out and gave me an ultimatum--either I could quit or be fired! So I quit.
Have I been taken for a chump? I thought I'd met Ms. Right but now everything's turning out wrong. Help!
Dear Stargazer: In journalism and politics, the rules are the same: 1. Never mix business with pleasure. 2. If you mix business with pleasure, never tell your coworkers. 3. If you tell your coworkers, never tell the boss. That way if he finds out from your coworkers, you can just say they're lying.
Perhaps your letter can serve as a warning to young reporters. Other than that I don't know what to tell you. Have you considered suing somebody?
Dear Zazz: Is something wrong with me? I have this thing about men. I like them and all, but I've got to think about myself, too.
I'm sort of cute and men have always wanted to take care of me. That's how I ended up with the job I have now--head of a big department in City Hall. You see, the mayor needed me because I'm Hispanic and can bring him a lot of votes.
And I really wanted this job. So you give a little, you take a little.
It's the same with the guys I date, too, like this reporter for one of the big newspapers in town. He was nice and smart and he'd been around City Hall longer than me, so he helped steer me around some of the pitfalls.
But after a while I got too busy to see him and then it was pretty much over. Now he's in a lot of trouble, and much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I've got more important things to worry about. Am I cold? Did I ever love him? Do you think I need professional help?
Dear Grounded: Stop torturing yourself. You've got a great career ahead of you. Forget him. You want to make an omelet, you've got to break some eggs.
Dear Zazz: I always try to take care of my own, but what do you do when someone you think you've got under your thumb winds up taking a bite out of the hand that feeds her?
I'm the mayor of a big city and, as you know, times have changed. My dad had it easy--when he had this job, all he had to do was deal with people with last names like Kelly, McCormick, O'Leary. I've got to please everybody! And it isn't easy.
So I found this girl. She was really pretty, and young, and just the right ethnic group--someone you didn't mind having your picture taken with. I took her under my wing, gave her money to get elected. All she had to do was play along and we'd all be on easy street.
But she double-crossed me. She wouldn't do business with my buddies. And she couldn't keep her mouth shut. She even blabbed to this newspaper reporter she was seeing.
Well, it was easy to get rid of him. A few phone calls and he was history. But she's been harder to handle. When I tried to drop her she went to the governor for protection. What could I do? You can't cross the state guys when you're trying to build a new airport. So we made up, sort of. But the old feeling is missing. Do you think I taught her too much? Any advice on what I should do now?
Dear Drip: Sit with your back to the wall at all times and never tell her anything you wouldn't want the feds to hear. And consider supporting her for Congress. That way she owes you and she's hundreds of miles away where she can't give you any real trouble. It always worked for your father.


As crash experts sort out why an Amtrak train derailed in Philadelphia last month, killing eight passengers, Congress is still haggling over how to replenish the nation's Highway Trust Fund before it goes dry. All the while, the safety of America's roads and rails hangs in the balance. So on this show, Brian, Ed and Peter uncover the stuff of modern life that's hidden in plain sight. How have Americans decided what infrastructure to invest in, how to maintain it, and who ultimately has to pay for it? Our stories take a look behind the scenes at the electric grid, the shipping industry and the origins of oil pipelines.

← Catherine Parr: Snappin' Necks, Cashin' Checks (just go with it).
More like MAN of Cleves, Am I Right!?!?! →
She's got your heart racing in her skin-tight jeans, she's your Teenage Queen tonight!
Posted: May 23, 2011 | Author: lbar216 | Filed under: Theme Week | Tags: Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Henry VIII, Katie Perry, Scandal, The Tudors, Thomas Culpepper |Leave a comment
Full disclosure: I had a few margaritas tonight. So this should be interesting.
Creepy Catherine Howard doll.
Catherine Howard (wife numero fivo) is unofficially considered by historians to be the consort with lowest IQ. Here's why:
She might have had an affair with one of H8's "favourites" during their year-long marriage.
The guy she had an affair with was her cousin. I know it's normal for the time. But EW.
While at finishing school, she slept with at least 2 men (and probably more and maybe a couple of girls).
She trusted corrupt, shady and borderline cray-cray people to help her with love-affair-related activities.
She got caught.
(SPOILER ALERT) She got her head chopped off.
Here are the reasons why Henry should have fucking known what was coming to him:
Catherine was Anne Boleyn's goddam 1st cousin.
She was really fucking good at giving head and Henry, like a doofus, was like, "WOW!! I wonder how my virginal new wife is so good at blowing me especially when she's never seen a ding-dong before." (Like I said. Doofus.)
When they met, she was sixteen and he was forty fucking nine. (MATH LESSON: 49-16= WAY TOO FUCKING BIG OF AN AGE DIFFERENCE, PEOPLE.)
"When it cannot be prevented, sex should be practised in total darkness."
But listen. As I gathered from reading Starkey, girlfriend has sort of been misrepresented in historical accounts of the period. Mainly because her reign was first interpreted and written about during England's strictly moralist Victorian era where any talk of sex was immediately poo-pooed. Since a big part of Catherine's story (let's be honest-all of it) has to do with her fondness for pleasure (who can blame her!), Victorian historians weren't big fans of her's. But we're past that now and some historians like Starkey are starting to look at her as a lighthearted bitch who understood sex as something that was fun and awesome but also as a valuable and powerful social tool.
Mandy Moore in "The Princess Diaries." Greatest movie of my adolesence after "Now and Then?" Probably.
I imagine that Catherine Howard was a lot like the Mandy Moore type of girl at your high school. But a little sluttier. You know, some girl who was like really pretty and skinny who got boobs before everybody and was the first girl to get a straightener, and she was really good at school and was all the teachers' favorite. And you wanted to hate her because she was so fucking popular, but you couldn't because she was also really nice and awesome. THE POINT IS you would have wanted to be friends with Catherine Howard because I bet she was just like that. She was full of energy, always looking out for her main bitches, always down for a partay. She probably loved doing the Electric Slide. And body shots.
But let's contextualize shall we? And I'll pretend like I didn't just go off for a whole paragraph about how much I want to be BFFs with Mandy Moore/Catherine Howard.
Chesworth House. Where Catherine was educated. And by "educated" I mean "learned how to give handies."
So Catherine's mommy, Joyce Culpepper (REMEMBER THAT NAME!!) died when she was young, so she grew up without a close female role model who could tell her that boning a bunch of dudes before you marry the king of England is the worst idea ever. She was sent off to finishing school at her step-grandmother, the Dowager Duchess's house. From the Starkey book, I gather that Chesworth House was a lot like summer camp. Lots of virile young men and women in a confined space where the main events of the evening were (1) figuring out how to get into the girls' bunk (2) learning how to give handies (3) testing how long you could stay and play without getting caught by the counselors. Since our little minx was related the Duchess, she was the ringleader of all of the mischief and got away with everything.
It was also because of her relationship with the Duchess that she was allowed private music lessons with a guy named Henry Mannox. Now, what about letting your adolescent step-granddaughter who's already been caught having "midnight banquets" in her dormitory have private lessons with a smoldering hot (probably) music teacher sounds like a good idea to you? None of it. When Catherine got in trouble with King H8 in 1541, Mannox was questioned and it came out that while they never consummated their love affair (which happened when she was like 11 or 12), she had let him touch her vag in the house's chapel!! Slluuuuut! Mandy would never have done that.
While at Chesworth, she met the household's secretary, Francis Dareham and the two fell in love. HARD. They entered into a two-year long relationship and precontracted themselves to one another. As in they promised to marry each other which was as good as married in the eyes of the church and meant it was kind of OK that they boned before he put a ring on it. And everyone at Chesworth knew about it (since all the girls slept in the same big room with each other and they were practically having sex in front of a ton of other people on a regular basis) but no one said anything about it once Catherine arrived at court and caught the eye of the King.
I don't blame her.
H8 was not Catherine's first love at court, however. He was her second. Her first little affair was with a man named Thomas Culpepper. Remember that name? It's her mom's maiden name. As in this guy was her cousin. He was really hot, really fun, the king's favorite man, had a ton of girlfriends all over court – he was the guy version of Catherine, pretty much. So no wonder they were so into each other. They hung out for a while, probably did it a couple of times, and a lot of people (although H8 was apparently oblivious to all of this) thought that they would get married. But then they had a little tiff or something and stopped talking.
Then, she caught Henry's eye and the rest is history. Or maybe you're not too familiar so I'll irreverently summarize, shall I?
She and Henry entered into a whirlwind Romance that was almost assuredly consummated time and time again before they got married. (RED FUCKING FLAG, HENRY!!) But he was blinded by his love for her. And why wouldn't he be? She was 17 or so and he was almost 50!! She was history's ultimate trophy wife and Kingy was loooovin' it as much as a McDonald's commercial. His friends wrote that he was simply smitten with her. He really believed that after getting rid of his Spanish brother-fucker, all his bad luck with Boleyn, the "tragic" death of Jane, and the unfortunate portrait debacle of Man of Cleves, he had finally found his true Queen.
Spoke too soon, dude, spoke too soon.
Henry and Catherine and the rest of the court went on progress in the summer of 1541. This means that they went on a tour of northern England where they slept in tents (which were pretty much inflatable castles) or in rich people's houses. These houses were much smaller than the palaces that the court was used to staying at, so it would have been really fucking stupid for the queen to rekindle an affair with her former lover in one of these houses while on progress. But she did.
A real portrait of Catherine Howard. I mean, she's not THAT cute is all I'm saying.
It was during the summer progress of 1541 that she and Culpepper started doing it again with the help of Catherine's lady-in-waiting, Lady Rochford. Lady Rochford was George Boleyn's wife. Let's review:
George Boleyn.
Gay.
Brother of Anne.
Beheaded for treason, incest, and sodomy.
Don't you think Lady Rochford/Jane Parker might be a little effed up from all of that and maybe not someone to trust with your top-secret romantic trysts? Yeah. Instead of saying, "Hey Catherine, this is a bad idea," she was more like, "Pshhhh, he'll never find out, did you want me to take your handkerchief or something over to Tommy? Maybe a love letter?" Great influence, Lady. A lot of historians think that she might have been, like, certifiably insane and was acting out all of her psycho issues with her own failed marriage on Catherine. It seems likely to me.
This post is getting long so I'll sum up the end with a list shall I?
Most women who end up at court had been at finishing schools and boned dudes before they got there. But people kept their mouths shut about it because it was NBD.
But some bitch went to Thomas Cranmer, the archbishop of Canterbury, and told him about Catherine's shady past.
He liked Catherine, but thought that her lack of religious conviction and her (supposedly) papist Howard family were a threat to the English Reformation.
So he told Henry.
Henry was like, "Nawwww! She'd never cheat on me. She's totally into this!" (And then grabbed his junk. I imagine.) But then he had some people investigate the whole thing anyway, just for safesies.
When it became clear that she was guilty, H8 peaced out of Hampton Court in the middle of the night and Catherine never saw him again. (The legend about Catherine running down the halls of Hampton Court to beg him to believe in her innocence isn't really true.)
She was convicted of treason, along with Thomas Culpepper and Francis Dareham.
Francis Dereham definitely got the fuzzy end of the lollipop — he was hanged, castrated, drawn, and quartered. OUCH.
Culpepper was beheaded. LUCKY!
After being told she was just going to have to go to a nunnery, Henry changed his mind and decided he wanted her beheaded.
She made a really nice speech and then fucking lost it and started sobbing and saying "I don't want to die!!" right before she got her head chopped off.
Lady Rochford got the axe right after her lady.
According to the internets, this is what Henry was looking like in 1541. Like I said, I don't blame her.
Moral of the story: What's tragic is that all Catherine needed to do to survive was keep other guys' weiners out of her vag bun. But she wasn't able to do so. And that's why a lot of people think she was the dumbest of the 6 queens. But I would like to posit that she was very mature for her age and handled her short tenure as queen pretty well, as far as family/diplomacy/being queenly goes.
And as for the whole sleeping with other people thing, let's not forget that she was also A FUCKING TEENAGER, a Teenage Queen if you will! So who can blame her for wanting to canoodle with a hot little number who was her age? Not me. Sure, it was stupid. She made a big mistake, but ultimately, she was the victim of religious ambitions at court in the midst of the Reformation.
And her pubescent libido.

Taylor apparently had 100,000 followers (and a history of racist comments) before "haters" reported her, leading to the removal of her account. And though she says she made $500,000 from her social media account over three years, in a tear-sodden YouTube video, she claims that half a mil ain't what it used to be.

Unjust for death row prisoners to serve 30 years in jail, says MP
Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh.
PETALING JAYA: It is ridiculous for death row prisoners to serve another 30 years following the government's move to abolish the death penalty, a backbencher said.
Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh said these prisoners were already serving time in jail, for between five and 20 years, from the time they were arrested and convicted by the courts.
"It is totally unjustified to order them to serve another 30 years in prison. This is akin to natural life imprisonment," he told FMT.
Ramkarpal said this in response to the announcement by de facto law minister Liew Vui Keong in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday that death row inmates would serve 30 years' life imprisonment under the proposed abolition of the death penalty.
"Their jail term will run from the date the Pardons Board commutes the death sentence to life imprisonment," he said.
There are 1,267 prisoners on death row, about 900 of whom were convicted of trafficking in dangerous drugs.
Ramkarpal, who is a lawyer and has appeared for accused persons charged with offences that carried the death penalty, said the changes in the law would be meaningless to death row prisoners.
"Those aged between 40 and 50 will die in prison as I understand the additional 30-year jail term is mandatory and cannot be commuted."
Malaysian Bar president George Varughese said the cases of these condemned prisoners should be brought before the Federal Court for review.
"The bench can substitute the death penalty with a jail term after taking into account mitigating and aggravating factors," he said.
Varughese said for new cases before the court, judges should be given the discretion to impose a jail term of up to 30 years.
"All death sentences should not be automatically replaced with a minimum 30-year life imprisonment," he said, adding that only then will the jail punishment meted out be just and effective.

On 7 December 2017 Pilatus obtained type certificates from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US-American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the first ever Swiss business jet. Certification of the Super Versatile Jet prepares the ground for initial customer deliveries, which will see the PC-24 business jet take off from Central Switzerland for its entry on the global market.
In any project to develop a new aircraft, certification by the aviation authorities is by far the most important milestone, given that it means deliveries to customers may go ahead, generating revenue for the manufacturer. The PC-24 development project was officially announced in 2013, but work on the Super Versatile Jet has in fact been in progress for the past eleven and a half years.
The first PC-24 prototype completed its maiden flight in May 2015. All three prototypes used in the certification programme have flown a total of 2205 hours worldwide so far. Some flight tests were conducted in extreme environments: in icing conditions and very hot temperatures, at altitudes and speeds not usually encountered in everyday operations. Other tests have included bird impacts, structural stress tests, noise tests and general function. All this to prove that customers may depend on this aircraft to operate safely and reliably at all times, in line with statutory requirements. In fact, Pilatus test pilots took the aircraft to the very boundaries of its limits and even beyond, flying it in configurations and maneuvers forbidden to the commercial pilots who will subsequently occupy the cockpit.

The Russian polar research station Vostok in Antarctica measured the lowest natural temperature on Earth (-89.2 °C) on this day. It is interesting that the Russians were also the ones who first discovered the coldest continent – Antarctica. A huge lake is located right beneath Vostok station. It is the largest sub-glacial lake in the world and it contains water from 15 to 25 million years ago. Drillings are performed in order to obtain its water.
On this day, the lowest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth, minus 89.2 °C, was measured.
The place where this happened is called the Pole of Cold and is located on the Antarctic, on the site of the Russian polar research station Vostok. The name Vostok means East in Russian, and it originated from the name of the ship Vostok, the vessel aboard which Russian expedition discovered the Antarctic in 1820 (under the command of Lazarev and Bellingshausen).
It is interesting that the Russians were precisely the ones who first discovered the continent Antarctica. The Russian Federation still has research stations on the Antarctic, though it does not exercise sovereignty over the territory (nor does any other country in the world).
Vostok Station is one of the most isolated areas of the world, located about 1000 kilometers from the nearest coastline and near the Arctic pole of inaccessibility (a distance farthest from any land mass). The station is constantly populated and supplied. As many as 25 people stay there during the summer, while their number drops to about 13 in winter. Polar winter lasts for 3 months, during which time the sun never rises. Vostok station is located at 3,488 m above sea level.
Interestingly, a huge lake is located right beneath Vostok station. It is the largest sub-glacial lake in the world and it contains water from 15 to 25 million years ago. Drillings are performed in order to obtain its water. It is interesting that the highest temperature ever recorded at Vostok station was -12.2 °C, still well below the freezing point.

Q: Travis-CI 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '1.1.2' was not found First, I'm new to Travis CI. I am trying to run tests using the DotNet Core 2.0 SDK and the 1.1.2 runtime. both 'dotnet restore' and 'dotnet build' run perfectly however 'dotnet test' fails. This works fine locally however.

Dotnet Error

Edit 1
Here is the link to the latest travis build log that includes the recommended libcurl3 apt package with the same dotnet error described previously. I also updated the title and description for added clarity. - TravisCI build log

A: Based on this blog post, I have fixed my issue. Add the following sources and apt packages to your .travis.yml file:
sources:
- sourceline: 'deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-trusty-prod trusty main'
  key_url: 'https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc'
packages:
- dotnet-hostfxr-1.0.1
- dotnet-sharedframework-microsoft.netcore.app-1.1.2

A: It seems very subtle, but according to this answer on a related question you might need to add libcurl3 into your apt packages section, as dotnet restore needs it installed to be able to download the .NET Core framework.
Something like this:
addons:
  apt:
    packages:
    - libcurl3
    - ldap-utils
    - gnutls-bin
    - ssl-cert
    - slapd

Edit:
Sorry, I don't know enough about .NETCore development to help you much more. I forked your repo and tried a suggested fix, which was to set the <RuntimeFrameworkVersion> configuration property in the .csproj files to 1.1.2, but that didn't fix anything.
It seems people working with the .NETCore Docker image are having similar issues (I guess it's close to the same as running in the TravisCI environment), and there was also a similar version mismatch issue mentioned by Scott Hanselman, though he was using a project.json file to set his library versions, and I can't see that in your repo.
