Viaje Exclusivo Super Lance
A little more than a year ago, we posted information about one of Viaje's newest cigars, the Exclusivo Super Lance. At the time, it was appearing in a 7 1/2 x 48 vitola, although at the time it was known the ring gauge would be a bit thinner at 46 ring gauge. As has become common place with Viaje prototypes in the past few years, the early samples were banded with the familiar black on white bands used for the company's White Label Project series. Early last month, the cigars were shipped to retailers as part of a slew of Viaje releases in a short period of time.
Here's what the prototype version looks like compared to the production version:
Exclusivo is a Nicaraguan puro blend crafted allegedly for owner Andre Farkas' personal taste. Since then, it has taken on a variety of shapes, sizes and release types. In total, there are now 13 releases for the Viaje Exclusivo line. They are:
Viaje Exclusivo Robusto (Jar Release) (4 7/8 x 50) — January 2010 — 100 Jars of 35 Cigars (3,500 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Robusto (Bundle Release) (5 x 50) — July 2010 — n/a
Viaje Exclusivo Chiquito (2009) (4 3/4 x 51) — 2009 — 100 Boxes of 25 Cigars (2,500 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Double Edged Sword (5 3/4 x 52) — July 2010 — 125 Boxes of 25 Cigars (3,125 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Short (4 1/4 x 42) — March 2011 — 100 Boxes of 50 Cigars (5,000 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Chiquito (2011) (4 3/4 x 51) — May 2011 — 100 Boxes of 25 Cigars (2,500 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Tower 45th (5 3/4 x 52) — April 2011 — 100 Boxes of 20 Cigars (2,000 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 46) — 2010 — Event Only.
Viaje Exclusivo Atlantic Cigar Co. 15th Anniversary Lancero (7 1/2 x 40) — November 2011 — 150 Boxes of 25 Cigars (3,750 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Robusto (2012) (5 x 52) — May 2012 — 250 Boxes of 25 Cigars (6,250 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Tower 45th (2012) (5 x 52) — June 2012 — 100 Boxes of 20 Cigars (2,000 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Chiquito (2013) (4 3/4 x 51) — April 2013 — 100 Boxes of 25 Cigars (2,500 Total Cigars)
Viaje Exclusivo Super Lance (7 1/2 x 46) — May 2013 — 400 Boxes of 25 Cigars (10,000 Total Cigars)
For those wondering, there will be a fourteenth Exclusivo release shortly. The company has made it known that the second release of Double Edge Sword will take place at the 2013 IPCPR trade show.

Without question, Exclusivo is my favorite Viaje line as far as appearance goes. The deep chocolate wrappers contrast the silver bands wonderfully. Aroma from the Nicaraguan wrapper is somewhat muted with sweet leather, cocoa and orange notes. The cold draw is somewhat sour, but still relatively sweet with defined citrus over earth and leather.
The Super Lance begins the first third a bit fuller than my past few Exclusivos, toastiness, grass, earth and a touch of harshness through the nose. There's a defined strength from the get go and it doesn't seem to be letting up. After about ten minutes, the Viaje settles to a profile that is sweet, earthy with bread and leather. On the back half of the tongue a decent mixture of red and black peppers have taken hold at times overwhelming the remaining flavors.
There's still some harshness present as the second third takes shape, although there are plenty of changes. The Super Lance is now closer to medium-full than it is full as far as strength, although the flavors still remain. There's no trace of sweet cocoa, a staple of AGANORSA leaf and by consequence Viaje, which is odd. In its place is leather, earth, green licorice, and the sweet and sour citrus notes from the first third. Still present is the pepper, the only thing not entirely changed from the earlier third. The draw was never ideal from the get to, but it's opened up quite a bit and now keeping the cigar going is becoming a concern.
As the final third enters I notice two changes, a simultaneous increase in harshness while the pepper fades. In inch or so and I give up under the assumption the final inch will only see those two things continue, something I have little interest in. As was the case for the latter half of the cigar, the construction is becoming increasingly problematic, although, I'm able to nurse the cigar to prevent it form ever going out.
Final Notes:
I'm not really sure what this vitola should be called, but putting Lancero in the name seems wrong. It's actually closest to a true Churchill (7 x 47) as far as I can tell. The Lonsdale is the size its proportionally closet to, at least in my opinion.
It's hard to imagine that this vitola is almost a dollar less expensive than some of the Robusto vitolas of the Exclusivo line.
We are 14 releases in—or about to be—and Viaje has yet to release a Belicoso in the Exclusivo line.
Viaje's use of the WLP bands on prototypes is nothing new, neither is the announcing of cigars a year out from their release.
This is the largest Exclusivo release to date, Viaje of late has been releasing larger and larger releases.
Despite this, our site sponsors are completely sold out of the Super Lance.
Strength-wise this starts full and ends medium-full, but because of the length, it leaves a decent nicotine punch.
While many will continue to criticize Viaje's construction issues, I'll say this: over the last 12 months it has been generally pretty good. The problem is given the company's portfolio largely starts at $10.00, the issues really shouldn't be there. This is one of a few examples over the last year when construction has been consistently frustrating, but it's a few too many.
I can't think of a line that has two cigars 7 1/2 inches plus and 46 and under on the ring gauge.
Final smoking time was two hours and ten minutes on average.
The first two I smoked were well above average, the last one was pretty bad. Chalk it up to whatever you want, the score takes it into account, but even at its best, the Super Lance makes me scratch my head. Is it better than the Exclusivo Lancero? No. Is it different in profile from the rest of the line. No. It's refreshing to see a bit stronger start in the Exclusivo line, similar to the first Tower 45th, but the rest of the profile of the Super Lance has been done before and as such it's hard to get excited about it. For the price, this is one of Viaje's best bargains and a decent cigar, but I still wouldn't put it in the top half of Exclusivo's portfolio.

This montage of "The Beat of the Beach" was recorded 18 years ago this month. With its rather unique approach to CHR (pop/rhythmic-leaning currents blended with early 90's dance), this qualifies as one of my all-time personal favorite airchecks.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock and Roll - Timeline: The Years of Sister Rosetta Tharpe
BY GAYLE WALD
Author of Shout, Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe
The life and times of Sister Rosetta Tharpe
1915 – Rosie Etta Atkins is born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, on March 20, to Katie Harper Atkins and Willis Atkins.
1921 – A 6-year-old Rosabell Atkins makes her debut solo appearance at Fortieth Street Church of God in Christ in Chicago.
1920s-30s – Rosabell and her mother, Katie Bell, evangelize for the Church of God in Christ. Katie Bell preaches and her daughter plays guitar and sings. They appear at the Maxwell Street market in Chicago as well as at churches, tabernacles, and revivals throughout the South.
1934 – "Rosie Etta Bell Nuben" marries Thomas J. Tharpe, a COGIC preacher, at Fortieth Street Church of God in Christ.
1936-37 – Rosetta Tharpe and her husband are a popular act in southern Florida, especially at Miami Temple COGIC, where radio earns her local celebrity.
1938 – "Sister Rosetta Tharpe" joins the cast of the fall 1938 Cotton Club Revue, which headlines Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers dancers. She is an instant hit. Rosetta poses for photographer James J. Kriegsmann. The images of a smiling Pentecostal musician playing her guitar set the tone for future images, which almost always feature Rosetta with her instrument. Mills Music publishes Eighteen Original Negro Spirituals, a collection of songs and arrangements attributed to Rosetta Tharpe. The collection includes "This Train," "My Lord and I," "That's All," and "I Look Down the Road and I Wonder," all songs she will subsequently record for Decca Records and perform regularly throughout her career. Rosetta records her first Decca sides, including "Rock Me," a version of Thomas A. 'Dorsey's "Hide Me in Thy Bosom." Rosetta plays notable NYC concerts. In addition to John Hammond's From Spirituals to Swing at Carnegie Hall, she plays the Paramount with Count Basie, and appears at Harlem's Apollo Theater. The Apollo gig is a first for a gospel soloist.
1940 – Rosetta plays Café Society, a racially integrated Greenwich Village nightspot.
1941 – Rosetta signs a contract to sing with the Lucky Millinder Orchestra, a popular swing band. They travel widely, and she scores hits with songs like "The Lonesome Road" and the distinctly secular "(I Want a) Tall Skinny Papa." She and Katie Bell Nubin befriend Dizzy Gillespie when the jazz trumpeter briefly works for Millinder's band.
1942 – During the war years, Rosetta records V-disks for U.S. troops and appears on Jubilee, a variety show targeting African American servicemen and women.
1943 – Rosetta breaks with Lucky Millinder and sets out on a solo career. That same year, she divorces Thomas Tharpe and marries Foch P. Allen.
1944 – Rosetta begins a productive recording relationship with Sammy Price, leader of Decca's house band. They release "Strange Things Happening Every Day," which climbs to number two on the "race" chart. The song has a second life in the 1950s, when Memphis deejay Dewey Phillips promotes it.
1946 – Rosetta appears at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry, with the Fairfield Four. In the spring, she attends a Harlem concert where she hears a young gospel singer from Newark, Marie Knight. Rosetta subsequently convinces Marie to join her act. The pairing will prove a boon to Rosetta's career.
1947 – Rosetta obtains a divorce from Foch Allen after testifying against him in a Nevada court.
1948 – "Up Above My Head," a duet with the Sam Price Trio, reaches number six on the "race" chart. "Beams of Heaven" is popular among gospel fans. Rosetta purchases a house in Barton Heights, a middle-class neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia. Mahalia Jackson releases her monumental hit "Move On Up a Little Higher," a song that catapults her to national stardom.
1949 – Decca Records has Rosetta record a "copycat" version of Jackson's hit song. Rosetta forms the Rosettes, a back-up group of five singers from Richmond. Together they record a hit version of "White Christmas," which reaches number six on the new "R&B Hit Singles" chart. They tour nationally with arranger-pianist James Roots, Jr., traveling to gigs on Rosetta's own tour bus.
1950 – On January 1, Rosetta appears with the Rosettes on the Perry Como Supper Club show. It is her first national TV appearance.
1951 – Marie Knight and Rosetta Tharpe go their separate ways professionally, although Marie appears as a bridesmaid at Rosetta's third wedding, to Russell Morrison. Staged at Griffith Stadium in Washington, DC, as a joint wedding-concert, the event attracts upwards of 20,000 paying fans, who cheer as bride plays electric guitar from center field.
1952 – Rosetta records a duet in Nashville with white country music star Red Foley. "Have a Little Talk with Jesus" fades into obscurity, but the collaboration is historic.
1954 – Encouraged by Decca producers, Rosetta reaches out to a burgeoning R&B audience with standard secular fare. The new songs alienate her gospel fans and never capture a share of the new "youth" market. Rosetta meets her half-brothers and -sisters from her late father, Willis Atkins. She befriends the extended Atkins clan of Camden, Arkansas.
1955 – Rosetta and Marie, reunited, play several New York jazz clubs, where they are warmly received by jazz critics. Rosetta turns forty. Emmett Till, a fourteen-year-old black boy from Chicago, is murdered by white men while visiting relatives in Mississippi. His mother, Mamie Till, a member of Rosetta's old Chicago COGIC congregation, displays his brutalized body at an open-casket funeral to thousands of anguished and angry mourners. Elvis Presley, a white teenager from Mississippi, raised on gospel music, releases "That's All Right."
1956 – Rosetta records her last songs for Decca, including "I've Done Wrong," a light, lively jubilee song, accompanied by Richmond's Harmonizing Four quartet. At Sun Studio in Memphis, the "Million Dollar Quartet" of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis run through several gospel songs. They warm up with material popularized by Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
1957 – After defaulting on the mortgage, Rosetta loses her Richmond home. Later that year, she and her husband-manager Russell travel to England, taking advantage of interest in U.S. musicians fueled by the British blues revival. During a concert tour sponsored by the Chris Barber Band, Rosetta is given celebrity treatment and hailed as a proto-rock and roller by delighted fans and critics.
1958-60 – European tours. Rosetta is greeted warmly in Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and Scandinavia, where she tours with the Diz Disley band, featuring the young English drummer Ginger Baker, who would later be part of the British Invasion band Cream.
1960-1962 – Rosetta and Russell purchase a house in Philadelphia in 1960. She records two albums for Verve, Sister on Tour and The Gospel Truth. Katie Bell Nubin does her first and only LP, Soul, Soul Searching, with backup provided by a band led by Dizzy Gillespie.
1964 – British tour with the American Folk, Blues, and Gospel Caravan organized by U.S. promoter George Wein. The lineup includes Muddy Waters, Chess pianist Otis Spann, and the duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Blues and Gospel Train, a specially produced show based on the caravan, appears on British TV. That same year, Rosetta appears at the Newport Jazz Festival, on a program that reunites her with Count Basie.
1964-65 – Rosetta makes two guest-host appearances on TV Gospel Time, performing dazzling versions of "Up Above My Head" and "Down By the Riverside."
1967 – Katie Bell Nubin and her daughter appear at the Newport Folk Festival, where Rosetta takes the stage in mink. That same year, she tours extensively abroad: in France, Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Great Britain.
1968 – Katie Bell Nubin dies in Philadelphia. Rosetta releases two notable LPs on the Savoy label, Precious Memories and Singing in My Soul. The former earns Rosetta her only Grammy nomination, for Best Soul Gospel Performance.
1970 – Rosetta falls ill, probably with a stroke, in Switzerland, during a date with the American Folk, Blues and Gospel Festival, and has to leave the tour to return to Philadelphia.
1971 – Rosetta undergoes amputation of a leg due to complications from diabetes. Later in the year she performs at Gates of Prayer Church in New York, along with prominent congregant Marie Knight. They rock the little church with "Didn't It Rain" and "Precious Memories."
1972 – Rosetta appears with fellow gospel great Marion Williams at the landmark Soul at the Center festival at New York's Lincoln Center.
1973 – Rosetta suffers a stroke and dies at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, on October 9. She had been scheduled to record a new album with Savoy. At her funeral, at Bright Hope Baptist Church, Marion Williams sings "Precious Lord" and Marie Knight sings "Peace in the Valley." Rosetta is laid to rest in Philadelphia, in an unmarked grave.
1998 – As part of its Black Heritage series, the U.S. Postal Service issues gospel singers stamps featuring images of Roberta Martin, Mahalia Jackson, Clara Ward, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
2001 – "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poutin" [Amélie] released. The film, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, features a brief videoclip of Rosetta Tharpe playing on "TV Gospel Time" from the 1960s.
2003 – MC Records releases a Rosetta Tharpe tribute CD, Shout, Sister, Shout!, featuring contributions by Maria Muldaur, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Odetta, Phoebe Snow, Tracy Nelson, Joan Osborne, Bonnie Raitt, and others. When music legend Johnny Cash dies, his daughter Rosanne Cash, notes in a televised interview that her father's favorite song was by Rosetta Tharpe.
2007 – Gayle Wald publishes Shout, Sister, Shout: The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe. It is the first full-length work about Rosetta Tharpe, based on interviews as well as archival documents.
2008 – After a campaign led by Bob Merz, a Philadelphia fan, the Governor of Pennsylvania declares January 11 Sister Rosetta Tharpe Day. That evening, a benefit concert is held at Philadelphia's Keswick Theater to support the purchase of a marker for Rosetta's gravesite. The concert features the Dixie Hummingbirds, Odetta, Marie Knight, Willa Ward, the Johnny Thompson Singers, and the Huff Singers. The governor's declaration is read from the stage.
2009 – A grave marker, with text provided by Rosetta's old Baltimore friend Roxie Moore, is installed at Rosetta's gravesite at Northwood Cemetery. In addition to funds from the benefit concert, private donations and money from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation supported its purchase.
2011 – A historical marker is installed in front of Rosetta house on Master Street in Philadelphia. A celebration accompanies its unveiling.

Carolyn Montoya, PhD, CPNP
Latinas Who Lead
Carolyn Montoya Helps Prepare Nurse Practitioners to Meet New Mexico's Growing Health Care Needs
By Michael Haederle | December 02, 2019
Growing up in Belen, N.M., Carolyn Montoya, PhD, RN, CPNP, understood at an early age the intertwined values of achievement and service.
Her mother's large extended family included her uncle Gil Sanchez, a local magistrate, and her cousins Raymond and Michael Sanchez, who would become prominent members of the New Mexico Legislature.
"There was always an expectation that we would go to college," she says. "Education was highly valued in our family." But while politics was an established family tradition, Montoya, the associate dean for clinical affairs in The University of New Mexico College of Nursing, found her own path to service.
"I always had an interest in health," she says. A high school health careers class that included a rotation in the local hospital (since closed) confirmed her inclination, and Montoya went on to earn her bachelor of science in nursing degree at UNM, graduating in 1976.
"I pretty much always wanted to do pediatrics," Montoya says. She spent several years working at Presbyterian Hospital, where she saw the impact nurse practitioners could have on patients and decided to pursue that career.
She moved to New Haven, Conn., to work toward her master's degree as a pediatric nurse practitioner at Yale University.
"The reason I did that is because it was someplace different to go," Montoya says. "I had lived all my life here, in Belen and then in Albuquerque. I think the most difficult thing when I got there is that I would never run into anyone that I knew. It was weird."
Also contributing to Montoya's decision was a National Health Service Corps scholarship. Following her graduation, she spent two years working in a community health center in Brownsville, Texas, to pay back her obligation to the federal government. Many patients were from the Mexican city of Matamoros, just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville.
"It was trial by fire – I remember it well," she says. "For pediatrics it was perfect, because the demographics were very much young children." The caseload was so heavy that children older than 11 were seen by internal medicine doctors. "We were so swamped," she says. "I would arrive at the clinic and the line would be around the building."
Montoya returned to New Mexico in 1983. She had a part-time position teaching in UNM's undergraduate nursing curriculum and worked for a time in the newborn nursery at Lovelace Hospital before finding a job at a private pediatrics practice in Albuquerque.
Montoya eventually joined the UNM faculty full time and developed a focus on nurse practitioner education. "We're very fortunate in New Mexico that we do have full scope of practice for nurse practitioners," she says. "I was very involved with that movement when we got it."
Through the years she assumed varied leadership responsibilities, helping to grow the advanced practice registered nurse program and serving as interim dean. Montoya earned her PhD at UNM in 2013 with the help of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation policy grant. "I wanted new skills," she says, "and that's what the PhD gave me."
Montoya has seen efforts to increase diversity in the College of Nursing wax and wane over time, dating back to her time as an undergraduate, when there was a grant in place for that purpose.
"I was a part of that grant as a student, so there was an emphasis there," she says. "I think what is a challenge to is to keep that momentum going, because then the grant goes away. It's certainly part of the College's values."
Throughout her career, Montoya has devoted much of her time to devising ways to get more nurses and nurse practitioners out into rural areas around the state.
"New Mexico is very unique," she says. "I think we have a unique population here. It is important. I've always been very committed to staying here. I've had a progressive career of increasing responsibility and leadership. It has always been for me about what you give back."

Houston, April 17, 2020
Efforts to protect first responders and contain the spread of COVID-19 in Houston received support with a donation of 30,000 KN95 masks from Aramco Americas.
Mayor Turner Accepts Donation of 30,000 KN95 Masks Critical for City's COVID-19 Response.
The donation comes at a critical time with efforts focused on flattening the curve of the virus and protecting Fire, Police, Health and City of Houston employees who are on the front lines of responding to the pandemic.
"We know that medical supplies and protective equipment, like these masks, are in short supply throughout the U.S.," said Mayor Sylvester Turner. "We are fortunate to have a great corporate citizen like Aramco utilizing its procurement and global supply chain to source this quantity of masks, during this challenging time."
The donation will be administered through the Houston Health Foundation and the Houston Health Department.
Turner noted that Aramco works side-by-side with local government and other charitable organizations to address a number of issues including education, hunger and environmental protection.
"The safety of our employees and the community is a top priority for us. Houston has been our headquarters home for nearly 50 years. This donation is one of the ways we are looking to help the City during these challenging and uncertain times," said Mohammed Alshammari, President and CEO, Aramco Americas.
People are our priority. We are securing the health and safety of our workforce and communities and ensuring the continuity of an energy supply upon which the world relies.

Smog in northern China shuts highways, causes cancelled flights
BEIJING (Reuters) - Heavy smog in northern China on Sunday caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled and highways to shut, disrupting the first day of the new year holiday.

Large parts of the north were hit by hazardous smog in mid-December, leading authorities to order hundreds of factories to close and to restrict motorists to cut emissions.
The latest bout of air pollution began on Friday and is expected to persist until Thursday, although it will ease slightly on Monday, the last day of the new year holiday.
In Beijing, 24 flights were cancelled at the city's main airport and all buses from there to neighbouring cities suspended, the airport said in a statement on its official microblog.
Average concentrations of small breathable particles known as PM2.5 were higher than 500 micrograms per cubic metre in Beijing - 50 times higher than World Health Organization recommendations.
In Tianjin, Beijing's next door metropolis, the smog was not as serious but visibility much worse, with more than 200 flights cancelled at Tianjin airport and conditions not expected to improve in the near term, the city government said.
Some bus routes and highways in Tianjin were also closed due to the smog, the government added.
In Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital of Hebei province that surrounds most of the Beijing, about two dozen flights were cancelled and eight flights diverted to other airports because of the smog, the People's Daily said on its website.
A total of 24 Chinese cities have issued red alerts for the current round of pollution, which mandate measures like limiting car usage and closing factories, while 21 have issued orange alerts, including Beijing and Tianjin.
China began a "war on pollution" in 2014 amid concerns its heavy industrial past was tarnishing its global reputation and holding back its future development, but it has struggled to effectively tackle the problem.
Pollution alerts are common in northern China, especially during winter when energy demand, much of it met by coal, soars.
The country's northern provinces mostly rely on the burning of hundreds of millions of tonnes of coal each year for heating during northern China's bitterly cold winters.

Is Scouting a religious organization?
You have likely heard the fable about the blind men and the elephant. It's a tale that's told in many of the world's religions as a means of explaining how everyone views the diety differently. One version of the story is told:
Six blind men were asked to determine what an elephant looked like by feeling different parts of the elephant's body. The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe.[Wikipedia]
What brought this to mind was a discussion we were having last week about the new Boy Scout requirements, particularly the ones at each rank relating to a Scout's duty to God. Continue reading "Is Scouting a religious organization?"
Scout Sunday and Scout Sabbath 2012
The Scouting movement is unique among non-faith-based youth groups in that it recognizes and expects a belief and duty to a higher power of its members. It's part of rank achievements in Cub Scouts, one of the points of the Boy Scout Law, and the first obligation in the Scout Oath and Venturing Oath.
Each year, during Scouting's anniversary week, we have an opportunity to join with our religious organizations and sponsors in observing Scout Sunday and Scout Sabbath. Scout Sunday falls on the Sunday of the week containing the BSA's anniversary, February 8, while Scout Sabbath is the following Saturday. In 2012, Scout Sunday is February 5 and Scout Sabbath is February 11. Continue reading "Scout Sunday and Scout Sabbath 2012"

To understand the purpose and value of our Gini Blockchain and why it's different from any other blockchain, it's useful to review why several fiat currency economies are collapsing in many countries today.
Economic Power = Political Power. Wealth concentration creates distortions in an economy because it gives certain groups enough economic power to control or substantially shape the laws and regulations that determine how economic transactions are defined and executed, which determines how value, income and wealth are distributed throughout the economy. This is the mechanism by which economic power is converted into political power. Certain industries, especially the FIRE (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) industries, disproportionately benefit from this mechanism because their income- and wealth-generating capacity is almost completely dependent upon how laws and regulations are written and enforced. In fact, they generally do not produce anything; they simply act as intermediaries between counterparties within an economy. Thus, the FIRE industries have strong incentives to convert their economic power into political power so that they can control the laws and regulations to channel as much wealth as possible from the real economy into their own pockets.
FIRE Assets Fuel Unsustainable Economic Bubbles. In contrast to the FIRE industries, most other industries and groups in developed countries have suffered from severely eroded economic and political power since the early 1980s. These problems in many countries today are illustrated in numerous data sets, including the steep declines in the labor force participation rate as FIRE industries have shifted capital flows away from productive industries like manufacturing to speculative FIRE industries. Shifting capital away from productive industries into speculative FIRE industries has resulted in skyrocketing private debt levels and unsustainable economic bubbles, which benefit the FIRE industries at the expense of stability and sustainability in the broader economy. This is only possible in an economy that has no mechanisms to create ecosystem balance.
FIRE & Wealth Concentration Is Not the Result of Free Markets. By substantially controlling the creation and enforcement of laws and regulations, FIRE industries control the flow of capital throughout an economy. Since capital is required to create most forms of economic value, controlling the flow of capital enables FIRE industries to control the flow of income and wealth throughout the economy. Controlling the laws and regulations to control the flow of capital, income, and wealth is not the outcome of free-market capitalism; it's the inevitable result of insufficient resistance against ecosystem-killing concentrations of economic and political power in the hands of a small number of groups. In this case, we're talking about the FIRE industries, but every for-profit entity within an economy has irresistible incentives to use their economic power to control and/or influence the laws and political system to steer the flow of capital and wealth toward themselves.

Provided you regularly see your doctor, of course.
The Department of Health (DOH) considers cervical cancer as the second leading cancer among women in the Philippines. At least 12 Filipinas die from cervical cancer EVERY DAY even though it is a preventable disease.
HPV causes almost all cervical cancers, and the protection its vaccine provides from cervical cancer is long-lasting. But vaccinated women still need cervical cancer screening because the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types that cause cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer can also be treated through timely screening. According to the American Cancer Society, there is a 93 percent survival rate if cervical cancer is diagnosed at the earliest stage. Take note that symptoms, such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, usually appear when the cancer is in its late stages. There is almost no symptom in its early stage.
Cervical cancer tends to grow slowly compared to other cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "It can take 10 to 15 years (or more) for abnormal cells to turn into cancer." The speed would depend on your immune system and overall health. If your immune system is healthy and you eat right and don't smoke, your body can clear the HPV and reverse any cell damage at the start. But if you have an unhealthy lifestyle or have other health conditions, the cancer can develop faster. But generally, it does take about a decade.
Unlike ovarian or uterine cancer, cervical cancer can be detected early through routine Pap smear tests. Your doctor can see abonormal cell changes on the surface of your cervix. That's why it's important to get these tests regularly: every three years for women 21 to 65 years old. Your doctor should know how to proceed if he/she should find cancer cells.
If you do have abnormal cells developing at an early age in your cervix, according to gynecological ontologist Dr. Elizabeth Jewell, you can get a cone biopsy, a surgery that removes those cells with a scalpel, a carbon dioxide laser, or loop electrosurgical excision procedure. It is also an out-patient procedure.
The benefits of routine checkups couldn't be any better. Now if only every woman had access to health care.


I couldn't possibly count the number of times I have heard this question. Sometimes people want a summary of the plot. Other times they are looking for the genre or a succinct synopsis. Easy question to answer, right? Right.
As the author, maybe because I am specifically a new author, I find the question difficult. How do I condense this story down to a few simple sentences? This story I've been writing and tweaking and rewriting for almost a decade. These characters I created from scratch and know like my best friends. Their relationships, their dilemmas, their pains and victories. How do I answer that question?
That right there is my book pared down to one sentence. The theme at the heart of Full of Days is the worthiness of love even when sacrifices are necessary for its existence. That truth is the reason I wrote it. Extending from this theme are the additional claims: that love's worth is essentially increased by those sacrifices and that no authentic love is capable of existing without some sacrifice.
In Full of Days, the protagonists experience this truth in varied ways. Sacrifice of pride and of approval. Sacrifice of comfort and security. Sacrifice of self. The latter is the only means for love to thrive. Do not mistake it for a pretty, romantic notion. It is the depth beneath the romance. It is the struggle beneath the prettiness. Self-sacrifice is the sustenance of love.
And, oh, the rewards! Freedom gained when pride and fear are rejected. Joys and adventures experienced when security is set aside and faith is boldly chosen. Strength built by arising from sorrow. Yes, my beloved characters experience these too.
If there is anything, anything at all, I hope my readers gain from this novel, it is a little less fear of and a little more courage for authentic love.
Very nice. I recommend the book "Save the Cat" by Blake Snyder as a tool for coming up with a succinct answer to that question. The book is written for screenwriters, but it translates well into novels. A good formula is: When (the inciting incident) happens, the (hero) must (objective) or else (the stakes). For example, When (a boy from the other side of the tracks enters Katie's life), (she) must (set aside her prejudices) or (lose her chance at love.) That kind of thing. Practice it out loud. If you can't describe your novel well when people ask, (and I've been asked by strangers in the grocery store line) they might lose interest. Good luck!
Thank you! That's a helpful guideline.

From airship hangar to tropical paradise
It all began with the construction of one of the largest free-standing halls in the world in southern Brandenburg. Originally built by the German firm Cargolifter to be a construction hall for airships, it was acquired by the Malaysian Tanjong PLC/Colin Au consortium in 2003. In 2019 the Brandenburg-based theme park was sold and integrated into the Spanish group Parques Reunidos, a leading operator of regional theme and amusement parks worldwide.
The kind of crazy story that only happens in the Tropics
Celebrity visitor
In the 15 years since Tropical Islands first opened its doors lots of amusing and exciting things have happened. One example is the following story from camping supervisor Alex who tells us about her encounter with a big celebrity back in the summer of 2007.
It was 20 July 2007 and Alex was shift supervisor for security at the time. "I remember it was a Friday and normally I wouldn't have worked that day." But she stood in for a colleague who had a private engagement that evening — a fortunate turn of events, as it turned out. "A helicopter landed on the lawn next to the gravel car park. Two men and a woman got out and climbed the embankment towards her," she recounts.
Once they came face to face with her she could hardly believe her eyes. One of the men turned out to be Tom Cruise. "I remember he was wearing a grey shirt and a black suit. His trousers were covered with burs that had stuck to him as he made his way up the embankment." The actor was filming scenes for his Stauffenberg film "Operation Valkyrie" in the surrounding forests, and every morning his helicopter flew over the huge dome.
Before she could say anything the actor stretched out his hand to shake hers and said: "Hi, I'm Tom." To which Alex responded with a dry: "Oh shit". Cruise was amused by her spontaneous reaction. "He asked me what the story was with the Dome," she recalls.
On the spur of the moment, as her colleagues looked on in disbelief, Alex invited Cruise to take an improvised tour through Tropical Islands that really put her English-language skills to the test. "My English is now Hollywood-tried and tested," she comments with a grin. A few days later she received an unexpected call telling her to come to Tropical Islands as quickly as possible. When she arrived at the Dome her colleagues presented her with a huge bunch of flowers — a thank-you gift from Tom Cruise, sent via flower delivery service Fleurop and complete with a personal message. It was only after the actor had climbed back into his helicopter and flown off that Alex got really excited. "You just do your job," she says summing up the encounter. And sometimes you even get to meet a world-famous star in the process.

Tropical Islands -
Follow its development in the timeline.
The Jungle Splash water playground stretches across 650 square metres and is more than 15 metres high in places, making it one of the largest in all Germany. Its eight slides and other fun features are a big hit with guests of all ages.
The pleasantly rustic overnight stay experience that offers a pleasing combination of luxury and camping atmosphere!
Our Glamping Luxury Tents combine camping flair and comfort. The exclusive living area and separate sleeping area with a four-poster bed and bathroom with free-standing bathtub offer a tempting and satisfying experience for both camping fans and those who put comfort first.
In 2017, 30 Nature Homes are added to the resort. This new option for overnight stays offers additional space and features panorama windows.
Tropical Islands undergoes its biggest expansion since it was first founded. Open all year round, the outdoor area Tropical Islands AMAZONIA features a variety of open-air attractions that can be used no matter what the weather. The tropical landscape's total surface area increases to cover 100,000 square metres.
To cater to sustained high demand, another 60 mobile homes are built.
Tropical Islands celebrates its 10th anniversary after greeting guests from Germany and abroad for a decade. Nowadays we welcome more than a million visitors - each year.
With the inauguration of Brandenburg's first mobile home park another category is added to the resort's list of accommodation options.
Since planning began in 2008 numerous options for overnight accommodation have been created. In total 195 rooms and lodges with 516 beds as well as 133 tents with 350 beds are available to guests who want to stay overnight in the Dome.
In 2010, with the opening of the Pearl Harbour area another important step was taken as regards themed attractions. From that point on, in addition to individually designed rooms and lodges our guests have the option of spending the night in a setting that invokes the times when buccaneers roamed the seven seas.
The campsite opens. Stretching across 60,000 square metres it offers enough space for 92 caravans, mobile homes and tepee tents. The addition of a leisure centre and a wide range of sports activities in both the indoor and outdoor areas combine with the natural beauty of Tropical Islands' setting in the heart of the Spreewald to enhance the resort's international appeal.
In 2007 the resort's attractions are enhanced with the addition of the tropical sauna complex. Eight themed saunas spread across 10,000 square metres. A large selection of wellness and spa treatments are also available to our guests here.
One of the resort's main attractions opens: the waterslide tower. At 27 metres tall, this is Germany's highest waterslide tower and features four different slides. The record speed so far on the Turbo Slide is 74 km/h.
It's still hard to imagine that one day the Dome will be home to the world's biggest indoor rainforest, but once the special foil roof that allows UV rays to penetrate the interior is installed on the Tropical Sea side, the biotope starts to grow and flourish.
In 2004 Germany's first tropical resort opened. Making this dream come true involved a number of major building projects. The Tropical Sea alone stretches across an area of 3,000 square metres. The sandy beach that fringes the sea consists of 860 cubic metres of fine sand. The 1,200-square-metre Lagoon skirts the monkey rock with its waterfalls. The swimming areas are not just the main attraction for our guests; our lifeguards also get to enjoy having one of Germany's most beautiful workplaces. The world's biggest indoor rainforest is home to 50,000 plants and 600 plant species as well as parrots, flamingos and turtles. At 27 metres tall, the waterslide tower is the highest in Germany. The Bali Gate forms the entrance to the Tropical Village, where most of our catering facilities are located. The colleagues from the Food and Beverage Department work here in buildings and huts many of which are made of original materials from the tropics. The components were made in Borneo, Bali and Somoa according to traditional techniques and then shipped to Germany and reconstructed in Tropical Islands. Located on one side of the Dome, the Tropino Kids Club is a playground paradise for kids and stretches across 4,000 square metres. Not just the kids but also the colleagues who work here have plenty of fun.
The decision is made: the former Zepellin hangar is to be transformed into a tropical holiday resort.
A place of history
The Malaysian consortium PLC/Colin Au buys the site and creates the Tropical Islands resort in the former airship hangar.
The site is purchased from the Federal State of Brandenburg and various former owners by the company CargoLifter AG. The company's plan is to turn the former military airfield into a modern, peaceful location for lighter-than-air technology.
In summer 2002, CargoLifter AG announces insolvency.
The site is managed by the Federal State of Brandenburg. Waste, such as kerosene tanks and abandoned ammunition, are cleared from the site.
The Soviet Army occupies the airfield and one of the first and largest military airports in the German Democratic Republic is created. In addition to its function as a military airport, the site also serves as an airport for state visits from the former USSR. On October 17, 1963, a Russian Tupolev airliner lands carrying the cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Yuri Gagarin.
The site is built as a military airfield for the Luftwaffe's Brand-Guben Pilot Training School. Towards the end of the Second World War, the airfield is used by the transport air force in preparation for air-land operations. After 1943/44 it also serves as an alternative airfield for the fighter arm of the Luftwaffe. In Spring 1945, it is involved in operations by the front air units of the Wehrmacht.
Impressive architecture
The huge hall was originally built as an airship hangar commissioned by the German company CargoLifter AG. The shape was designed to accommodate the full volume of the airships and fit around them like an aerodynamic "tailor-made suit". Its gigantic dimensions posed a major challenge for the planners of Siemens subsidiary SIAT. The construction had to be able to withstand snow and rain masses across 70,000 square metres of roofing, and its heating system had to maintain more than five million cubic metres of air at the right temperature. Almost 14,000 tonnes of steel were used.
The dimensions of the Dome
The Tropical Islands Dome is gigantic. In fact, it is one of the world´s largest self-supporting halls in the world: 360 metres long, 210 metres wide and an incredible 107 metres high.
That is big enough to fit the Statue of Liberty in standing up and the Eiffel Tower lying on its side. The Tropical Islands Dome covers an area of 66,000 m², the size of eight football fields. And it is high enough to fit in the whole of Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, with all its skyscrapers.
A special construction
Two huge folding doors consisting of 6 retractable segments were designed to allow the airship to be moved in and out of the hangar. The doors, which weigh 600 tonnes and take 20 minutes to open, are no longer moved today.
Despite its gigantic dimensions this huge construction is a lightweight. The steel construction is covered in a light membrane. When the hangar was converted into a tropical resort, the southern side was replaced with a special material that allows UV light to penetrate. The same material was used for the construction of the Allianz Arena.
Tropical climate with the latest technology
At Tropical Islands, the air temperature is 25°C and humidity a pleasant 40 - 60%, perfect conditions for plants from all over the world. There is also under-floor heating in the Lagoon and the Tropical Sea area, so visitors do not get cold feet. A complex climate control and irrigation system guarantees that the various temperature zones are maintained in the Dome.
The indirect lighting system provides sufficient light in the Dome, even in the middle of winter. The light and heat create perfect conditions for our plants, and visitors can get a natural tan.
The 7,000 m³ of water in the Tropical Sea (28°C) and Lagoon (32°C) are cleaned using the latest ozone filter technology. This makes the water quality equivalent to that of drinking water. The pools themselves are constructed of stainless steel for optimum hygiene. The water has a maximum depth of 1.35 metres.

Q: Role of the map function between Angular 4 and Angular 5 Here is a code i was used to write in Angular 4:
Service:
import {Inject, Injectable} from '@angular/core'
import { Http } from "@angular/http";
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

@Injectable()
export class Service1 {
    constructor(private http:Http, @Inject('BASE_URL') private baseUrl: string) { }

    loadData() {
        return this.http.get(this.baseUrl + 'api/Listes/').map( res => res.json());
    }
    ...

Component:
    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    import {Service1} from "../../services/service1.service";
    import {Liste} from "../../models/Liste";
    ...
    export class Composant1Component {
        private donnees:Liste[]

        constructor(private service1:Service1) { }

        ngOnInit()
        {
            this.service1.loadData().subscribe(res => { this.donnees = res });
        }
    }

And now, look at the differences in Angular 5:
Service:
 import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
 ...
 @Injectable()
 export class Service1
 {
    constructor(private http: HttpClient, @Inject('BASE_URL') private baseUrl: string) {  }

    loadData()
    {
       return this.http.get<Liste[]>(this.baseUrl + 'api/Lists/');
    }

Component:
   export class Composant1Component
   {
        private donnees:Liste[];

        constructor(private service1:Service1) { }

        ngOnInit()
        {
            this.service1.loadData().subscribe(res => { this.donnees = res });
        }
   ...

I do not understand what was exactly the role of map() function before. And why this call is not necessary in Angular 5 ? HttpClient and Http are both returning an Observable, isn't it ?
Thanks

A: Angular, in its fourth version, integrates a new API for HTTP calls, called HttpClient.
The old version was called Http.
In the old API, you had to convert your answer with an internal function called json(), that was used to map the response to a readable object. This is why you used map.
In the new API, they saw that most of the time, only the response was returned. So they decided to get rid of the old json call, and return directly the content of the response. But don't worry, you still can see other parts of the requests you make. It's just not the default behavior anymore.

Following the publication of the Best Companies results for 2014, Primesight is proud to announce that it was accredited with a 2 star rating and awarded the 125th position in the small companies category among 351 small organisations which entered the study.
Best Companies has been in existence since 2001 to measure and acknowledge excellence in workplace engagement. Each year organisations from a wide range of industries use this employee survey to measure the engagement of their employees. The responses are collated to produce an overall engagement score for each organisation. This year 897 companies entered the study and were classified and ranked in the following four categories: small, medium, big and non-profit organisations.
The Best Companies methodology is based around eight key factors which in combination measure workplace engagement. These factors are particularly significant as they are defined by employees themselves as critical factors in workplace engagement.
The study proved that here at Primesight, team spirit is instrumental. Friendship and support from your workmates makes all the difference.
This variable illustrated that Primesight employees value the company greatly; they feel proud to work here, and believe they are making a difference every working day.
The positive result under this section served to prove that "leadership" has an impact beyond the boardroom, demonstrating that good leadership and management at Primesight makes for a happy team.
The working relationship between Primesight employees and their managers, which has a great impact on workforce engagement, was given an outstanding value as well.
The score obtained under this variable demonstrates that employees feel that Primesight acknowledges the value of investing in people, the local community and wider society.
