Hot TopicsChris Start2019-07-09T12:51:47-08:00
Dear friends and colleagues,
We are adding a new feature called "Hot Topics," to the ISER website to help our audience find research relevant to current policy issues more easily. The first entries summarize and connect readers with recent ISER work in two areas: the impact of state budget changes on the Alaska economy and how the PFD affects Alaska's economy and its social institutions.
An important part of ISER's mission is to conduct research that will improve understanding of important policy options facing Alaska. Researchers who want to better understand complex social systems break the big questions into pieces that can be analyzed with available data and tools. Our publications database is open to all, but help locating relevant research may be useful to some readers.
To make our work accessible to wide audiences we often create summaries of our work and post those on our website along with the full article. We also post copies of PowerPoint presentations for government and civic groups. Now we are adding "Hot Topics," where you can find a collection of relevant ISER summaries, articles, and presentations on current policy issues. Watch for new "Hot Topics" throughout the year.
State Budget – Updated July 2019
What are the economic impacts of Governor Dunleavy's vetoes of $409M from the state budget?
Mouhcine Guettabi provides a powerpoint and short paper, "Economic Impacts of the Vetoes on the Alaska Economy," written with Nolan Klouda, executive director of the University of Alaska Center for Economic Development, describing the effects of $409M in budget cuts. These effects include the short-term loss of more than 4,000 jobs and the return of Alaska's economy into recession. Short-term losses represent a considerable negative shock, however the long-term consequences could be even more pronounced.
What research has ISER done on the impact of state budget changes?
You have probably seen press reports that cite ISER analysis of how changes in the state budget will affect the economy. These estimates are based upon work that was completed in 2016 by Gunnar Knapp, Mouhcine Guettabi, and Matthew Berman, "Short-Run Economic Impacts of Alaska Fiscal Options."
The 2016 report looks at several different kinds of spending cuts and taxes. Those results can be roughly summarized by two approximations:
First, every $100 million in spending cuts can be expected to cause total short-term job losses of about 1000 jobs.
Second, every $100 million increase in taxes or $100 million cut to the PFD can be expected to cause total short-run job losses of about 700.
It is important to remember that these numbers are simply looking at the total impact on the state economy. There are obviously big differences in who is impacted by sales taxes, income taxes, and PFD cuts or by different program cuts.
In the Research Summary, "How Much Might Closing the State Budget Gap Cost Alaska Families?" ISER's Matthew Berman and Random Reamey estimate how several revenue-raising measures – three kinds of taxes and a cut in the Permanent Fund dividends – would affect households with and without children. They did not, however, estimate the effects of spending cuts on families.
A spending cut causes more job losses than a cut in the PFD. When the state cuts spending by $100 million, some combination of government employees lose their jobs and/or government suppliers lose revenues. Those employees and suppliers then have $100 million less to spend. This decreased spending of $100 million is similar to the decreased spending when Alaskans see $100 million in PFD cuts. So, the effects are similar after the "first round" of job losses. The estimates indicate that, on average, 300 jobs are lost because of this "extra round."
In March, Mouhcine Guettabi spoke with Alaska State House and Senate Finance Committees concerning the FY19-20 budget proposal. In his presentation, he provided estimates based on the 2016 report and an analysis of the budget proposal by Legislative Finance. Dr. Guettabi estimated that combined effect of the budget reductions would be just under 17,000 fewer jobs and that the effect of the PFD increases would be just under 10,000 additional jobs. The net impact was therefore about 7000 fewer jobs.
Most importantly, I would emphasize that these are the immediate, short-run effects of the changes. These short-run changes are important, especially as the Alaska economy is just starting to recover from a recession. But the long-run issues are even more important as Alaskans determine how much government spending is needed to continue our recovery and support Alaska's aspirations for the future.
We don't know how much the state should spend: that answer depends on what things Alaskans want to keep, and what they'll pay for them. But we throw some light on the debate. Mouhcine Guettabi, Trang Tran, and Linda Leask look at how Alaska's state spending compares with spending in other states, especially oil-producing states, how spending changes over time, and discuss Alaska's unique spending programs and higher living costs that add to the price of government in the 2018 paper, "How Does Alaska Spending Compare."
Alaska Permanent Fund – Updated July 2019
"What do we know about the effects of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend," by Mouhcine Guettabi, summarizes the research, including his own, on what is known of the PFD's effect on employment, consumption, income inequality, health, and crime.
May 2019 —
An additional $1,000 PFD decreases the probability of an Alaskan child being obese by as much as 4.5 percentage points, translating to about a 22% reduction in obesity, according to ISER's Mouhcine Guettabi, Brett Watson, post-doctoral researcher at ISER, and Matthew Reimer, associate professor of economics at ISER, in their paper, "Universal Cash Transfers Reduce Childhood Obesity Rates."
What does ISER research tell us about the PFD?
Since 2015, when oil prices declined, Alaska state government has faced new budget realities and new questions concerning the size of the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD). We at ISER frequently hear the question "What do we know about the PFD and how it affects our economy?"
Decreases in the PFD will reduce incomes and economic activity. But estimating a magnitude for those changes can be challenging. Many things are changing in the economy, and sorting out cause-and-effect can be difficult.
Some basic statistics on the PFD are helpful. For the past 5 years, an average of 630,000 Alaskans have received the PFD. Each $1000 therefore represents about $630 million in additional income. Mean per capita income for Alaska in 2017 was slightly over $34,000. Each $1000 change in the PFD therefore represents about 3% of total personal income. Obviously, the PFD is a much larger share of income for someone earning $15,000 than for someone earning $150,000.
In 2016, Gunnar Knapp, Mouhcine Guettabi, and Matt Berman developed estimates of the short- to medium-term impacts on the Alaska economy of various changes in spending, taxes, and the PFD. They estimated that each $100 million reduction in the PFD distributions causes the economy to contract by 558 to 892 jobs. Because of multiplier effects, each $100 million reduction in PFD distributions lowers total income by $130 to $149 million.
In a 2018 journal article in World Development, Matthew Berman estimated that the PFD reduced the average poverty rate during 2011-2015 in Alaska by 2.3 percentage points, from 11.4% to 9.3%. This represents 15,000 to 25,000 (depending upon year) fewer Alaskans below the poverty line. Findings are summarized in, "How PFDs Reduce Poverty in Alaska." The effect is especially significant for Alaska Natives, where the PFD reduced poverty rates from 22.3% to 16.3% on average in 2011-2015. Interestingly, Dr. Berman found that official income data from the American Community Service, conducted by the US Census, significantly under reports PFD income because of technical issues in how the data is collected.
Brett Watson, Mouhcine Guettabi, and Matthew Reimer recently examined some social effects of the PFD, specifically on crime. In an article that will appear soon in the Review of Economics and Statistics, they use data from Anchorage to estimate how crime patterns change immediately following the distribution of the PFD. In the four weeks following the PFD distribution, they find a 10% increase in substance abuse incidents, an 8% decline in property crimes, and no change in violent crime. On an annual basis, these estimated changes in criminal activity are small and estimated costs are a small portion of the total payment.
In an article available on Social Science Research Network, Andrew Bibler, Mouhcine Guettabi, and Matt Reimer analyzed how a $1,000 increase in the PFD affects the labor market. An increase affects women in the labor market differently than men, with women working fewer hours and men having increased employment in the three months after the PFD is distributed. The differing responses, however, nearly balance each other out with a small decline in the hours worked on an annual basis. During the first three months after the dividend is delivered there is a 0.7% contraction of hours worked. The decline lessens to 0.2% on an annual basis, a relatively small number.
I hope that you find these useful. And look for future postings on important current policy issues under "Hot Topics."

ISER Director


Governor Jay Inslee has signed a bill that will, for the first time, allow Central Washington University to grant a degree beyond the master's level. The university sought and received approval from the state legislature to grant the Educational Specialist (EdS) degree at the request of the Psychology Department's School Psychology Program.
The entry level into the profession of school psychology is the completion of a graduate program in the profession consisting of no less than 90 quarter hours. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) considers this to be a specialist level, which is midway between a master's degree and a doctorate. Until now, Central's program has only been able to offer a master's degree for the same amount of coursework.
The PhD requires more coursework and a dissertation, and enables graduates to seek positions as professionals in public schools or as professors at universities, where they teach classes and conduct research. The EdS is more specifically applicable to certain career fields in education.
Johnson said the EdS will replace the Master of Education (MEd) in School Psychology, and will meet or exceed all requirements of the EdS degree as stipulated by NASP and the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The MEd is typically a 45-hour degree at Central. However, CWU school psychology students must complete more than 100 quarter hours to earn their degree. The three-year program also includes an intensive, yearlong internship.
"I'm ecstatic to know that, upon receiving the EdS degree, our students will finally receive the recognition that they deserve for this rigorous program," said Johnson, who led the push for CWU to seek the EdS degree and the work to gain initial program approval from NASP in 1989.
Another distinguishing factor is that ever since NASP approval, the CWU program has found paid internships for all of its students, and 100 percent of its students have been immediately employed upon graduation.
On June 8, during CWU's 2013 commencement exercises, the university will award the first EdS degrees to seven graduates of the School Psychology Program: Heidi Bostwick, from Lynnwood; Rochelle Cikauskas, Selah; Vanessa Englehart, Ellensburg; Melissa Hoang, Tacoma; Kayla Johanson, Pateros; Annie Keegan, Kanoehi, Hawaii; and Rani Lewis, Burien.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Local News
Chief public health officer holds last regularly scheduled COVID-19 press conference
Dr. Brent Roussin urges Manitobans to be kind and respectful to each other to help heal divisions created by pandemic restrictions.
Ian Graham Mar 16, 2022 4:52 PM
Manitoba chief public health officer Dr. Brent RoussinThomson Citizen files
After more than two years of providing COVID-19 updates, sometimes as often as five times per week, Manitoba's chief public health officer addressed the media at the last regularly scheduled pandemic briefing March 16.
Rather than providing hospitalization numbers or other data during the virtual press conference, Dr. Brent Roussin focused on how the virus will be dealt with in the future and how Manitobans can try to break down divisions that arose as a result fo disagreement over public health restrictions.
"This virus certainly isn't done with us," Roussin said. "We can't wait for COVID-19 to be gone before we start our journey of healing."
Acknowledging that there are varying opinions on whether it was the right move to do away with restrictions now, or whether it should have happened earlier or later, Roussin urged people to be kind to each other and respectful of individual decisions, such as whether or not to wear a mask in some situations.
"I'll certainly be wearing a mask in crowded indoor public places," he said.
And while many PCR testing sites will be closing down, Roussin said there will still be sufficient information from people whose infections sicken them badly enough to require hospitalization to provide a clear picture about the virus's prevalence in Manitoba.
"Our work on the virus is not stopping at this point," he said. "There's still a lot of work for public health to be addressing moving forward."
While the public health doctor believes the likelihood of a new wave of infections caused by emerging variants will not come as a surprise to Manitoba if it does happen and that the high number of Manitobans with vaccine-induced or naturally acquired immunity should prove some degree of protection, the province has plans to cope with that situation should it arise.
"We do have the ability to ramp up our response as necessary," Roussin said.
March 14 is the last day for Manitoba's indoor mask mandate and other remaining public health orders

Product information "Airport Zurich V2.0 XP"
The Airport Zurich (previously Zurich-Kloten) is the largest airport of Switzerland, now in a brand new version for XPlane 11. This completely new scenery is full of details, including every building and the entire airport environment, De-Icing and all features you would expect from a modern scenery for XPlane.
The buildings and objects in this scenery were modeled with numerous 3D details and photo realistic textures; in some parts, even high resolution 2K textures were used. A multitude of animations for the radar systems, windsocks, airport traffic and more move this airport even closer to its real counterpart. The faithful signage and lighting of all taxiways and runways round off this impression. And thanks to baked textures in combination with XPlane's HDR rendering, Airport Zurich will shine at night as well with excellent effects.


I wish to convert from MS Access to MySql in my VB6 programs.
I am using Access now with DAO and wish to change my VB6 programs to use MySql with the minimum of changes.
1. Can I connect via say ODBC directly and update and edit directly with recordsets from my VB6 program as I do in DAO or even ADO or do I have to use PHP?
2. Does MySql have individual files which I can copy from computer to computer like Access or is it a total installation which is needed to function as a database.

VANUATU: Obituary: Andy Ayamiseba – long road home to an 'independent' West Papua
Andy Ayamiseba ... Political legitimacy for West Papuan independence in the Pacific has long been subject to the vicissitudes of Melanesian politics. Image: Dan McGarry
Andy Ayamiseba died a few days ago. While the West Papuan was loved, admired and supported in Vanuatu, he fought tirelessly to win a home he could return to. He died before the dream was achieved.
Originally published by the Pacific Institute of Public Policy (PIPP), this 2013 profile of Andy Ayamiseba's life of activism in exile by Dan McGarry is one of the few narratives of the compelling story of the Black Brothers and their seminal role the formulation of a modern Melanesian identity, and in keeping the West Papuan independence movement alive in Melanesia. It has been edited to reflect recent events and republished with permission from Griffith Asia Institute's Pacific Outlook.
PORT VILA (Pacific Outlook/Asia Pacific Report/Pacific Media Watch): In 1983, Andy Ayamiseba and the rest of the Black Brothers band descended from their flight to Port Vila's Bauerfield airport, to be greeted by the entire cabinet of the newly fledged government of Vanuatu. They were, by Melanesian standards, superstars.
They had come to assist Father Walter Lini's Vanua'ku Pati in its first re-election campaign, and to pass on the message of freedom for West Papua. So began a relationship that would span a lifetime of activism, a liberation dream long deferred, and ultimately, a first glimmer of hope for political legitimacy for the West Papuan liberation movement.
The Black Brothers were already widely known and loved in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Touring PNG in the late 1970s, the band members first met Vanuatu independence figures, including Hilda Lini, Kalkot Mataskelekele and Silas Hakwa.

The Entity Framework allows you to use stored procedures in the Entity Data Model instead of, or in combination with, its automatic command generation.
You can use stored procedures to perform predefined logic on database tables, and many organizations have policies in place that require the use of these stored procedures.
It can also specify that EF should use your stored procedures for inserting, updating, or deleting entities.
Although the dynamically built commands are secure, efficient, and generally as good as or better than those you may write yourself, there are many cases where stored procedures already exist and your company practices may restrict direct use of the tables.
Alternatively, you may just want to have explicit control over what is executed on the store and prefer to create stored procedures.
The following example creates a new project from File → New → Project.
Step 1 − Select the Console Application from the middle pane and enter StoredProceduresDemo in the name field.
Step 2 − In Server explorer right-click on your database.
Step 3 − Select New Query and enter the following code in T-SQL editor to add a new table in your database.
Step 4 − Right-click on the editor and select Execute.
Step 5 − Right-click on your database and click refresh. You will see the newly added table in your database.
Step 6 − In Server explorer, right-click on your database again.
Step 7 − Select New Query and enter the following code in T-SQL editor to add a stored procedure in your database, which will return the Student grades.
Step 8 − Right-click on the editor and select Execute.
Step 9 − Right-click on your database and click refresh. You will see that a stored procedure is created in your database.
Step 10 − Right-click on the project name in Solution Explorer and select Add → New Item.
Step 11 − Then select ADO.NET Entity Data Model in the Templates pane.
Step 12 − Enter SPModel as name, and then click Add.
Step 13 − In the Choose Model Contents dialog box, select EF designer from database, and then click Next.
Step 14 − Select your database and click Next.
Step 15 − In the Choose Your Database Objects dialog box click on tables, views.
Step 16 − Select the GetStudentGradesForCourse function located under the Stored Procedures and Functions node and click Finish.
Step 17 − Select View → Other Windows → Entity Data Model Browser and right-click GetStudentGrades under Function Imports and select Edit.
It will produce the following dialog.
Step 18 − Click on Entities radio button and select StudentGrade from the combobox as return type of this stored procedure and click Ok.
Let's take a look at the following C# code in which all the grades will be retrieved by passing the student ID as parameter in GetStudentGrades stored procedure.
We recommend that you execute the above example in a step-by-step manner for better understanding.

Why Ba Gia restaurant is special ?
The most common local dishes in Cam Nam are banh dap (smashing rice paper), hen xuc banh trang (clams with crispy rice paper) and che bap (sweet corn soup). Banh Dap Ba Gia is the first restaurant in Cam Nam (Hoi An).
The way you eat banh dap is to smash the rice paper, hence the translation "smashing rice paper". Banh dap is two pieces of crispy rice paper and wet rice paper (a close relative of banh cuon), combined together and smashed on the table. It's meant to be eaten in pieces then dipped into a bowl of sweet fermented fish sauce and chili called mam nem (my favorite). The sauce is made from fish that is sourced locally from Cua Dai Beach.
Clams are fished from Hoai River, which runs through Cam Nam village, to make this special dish (photo above). The clams are boiled and then fried with herbs, onions, spring onions, chili, ginger and peanuts. The clams were tiny, fresh, and meaty. The herbs were fragrant and added in an extra depth of flavor. It was one of my favorite dishes in Hoi An.
I've loved this dessert since I was a kid and the texture is fun to eat. Che bap is a sweet and sticky dessert made with shaved kernels of corn sourced from the village and sweet glutinous rice. It can be enjoyed at warm, cold or at room temperature.
How to get to Ba Gia restaurant?
You can walk over to Cam Nam Village, a bridge away from Hoi An's Old Quarter, to explore the local rustic food specialties of the area and we see a lane of restaurants that follow a beautiful tranquil river lined with starfruit trees.

I love you Brian. As I read this I was thinking – that is how I feel, that is me. Could it just be a part of our walk? God wanting to know how much we rely on HIM for our unanswered questions, for our confusion? I keep reminding myself that life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point. Please know how much you are loved and appreciated…I know I don't tell you enough.
Its great and great thinking and real. Make me to think over it.Thank you my brother.
I question. That whole paragraph resonated so deeply with me. I love that whole paragraph so much. It was written beautifully.
But sometimes I am not brave enough to step through the assaulting questions to meet the confrontation and find the confirmation. Maybe I am afraid I won't find confirmation…..
I.love.this. Many will think this odd, but this reminds me of my alone time with God. My place of choice is the cemetery. Strange sounding, I know. But it's quiet, beautiful, peaceful, nature magnified, and best of all, I can be totally and completely alone with God. When I park, and turn on some quiet praise music my first response to God, every single time, is tears. Every single time. And it's the most pure way I have of coming into his presence alone. My tears are also a pre cursor to talking frankly with him, listening, and emptying myself before him. I absolutely love it! Pretty sure I will most likely have a similar response when I meet him face to face, and I can't wait!

And she refused the handshake. Such horrific sportsmanship.
Heart actually skipped a beat when he said started on Tom there.
You guys certified members of the 'I love Tom' club?
I bet Zoe will come across as a complete ***** on You're Fired.
Melody needs to go next!
PHEW! Really thought there was going to be a double firing there and wasn't sure Tom would've survived it.
SO glad Tom didn't go... PHEW!
Melody has the balls to speak about childish behaviour?

"I think a number of these things cross the line," he said. "Even if they didn't cross the line, Ms. Farmer was very much in her rights to complain about it and be free from retaliation."
Instead, Farmer was retaliated against, her complaint states. After complaining about Handley's comments and unfair treatment, Farmer was subjected to "unwarranted discipline" for months, suspended with pay for about a week and fired in August, 2018.
Farmer was a non-exclusively represented employee, not a member of a state worker union.
In June, the Civil Service Commission sided with DTMB in a grievance case Farmer filed against the department. It ruled the department had sufficiently showed Farmer's performance was lacking and that there was just cause to fire her. Many of the documents Farmer showed in her defense were irrelevant, the commission found.
"Having failed to show the discipline selected — dismissal — was itself a violation, Farmer has not given the hearing officer any grounds to alter that disciplinary decision," the commission's decision states.
Documents show DTMB officials had argued Farmer was unable to do the work she was assigned despite managers providing her with additional training and mentoring. They argued she excessively documented processes, blamed her supervisor for misrepresenting facts and claimed the people assigned to help her were regularly unavailable.
At the time of her termination, 7% of DTMB's workforce identified as black or African American, according to a state workforce report, while 80% identified as white.
Farmer received a right to sue letter from the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Taub said.

Bank Holiday fun in the sun & Blackwall's best boozer!
Summer looks like it's well and truly here to stay for the next few months, so now's a great time to experience both the rare opportunity of the beach lifestyle in London, and the best of the Docklands' nightlife.
If you're looking for some glitz and glamour to liven up the drizzly weekend, we suggest you check out the Cocktail Masterclass at the Hilton Canary Wharf.
Limehouse Festival is back and better than ever for Summer 2016!
The Limehouse Social is back and better than ever!
As the sun shines down on Canary Wharf for what promises to be another glorious run-up to summer, the place to be on a weekend night is Rum & Sugar on West India Quay.
If your palate for fine cuisine matches your palate for history, The Gun will undoubtedly whet your appetite.
What better way to wash away the mid-week blues than with an evening of wonderful music and fine food at one of London's most revered dining establishments?


#Sailing's coming home in 2015, home to Portsmouth - Britain's world-class #maritime city. We have news, lively debate and where to #sail, from beginner to pro.
It was frustrating for you because your arguments did not make sense.
Do you really believe that? If you do, how did you become so out of touch with other human beings? How about the Lawrence and Rigby murders were both appalling? Yet one of them, murder of the serviceman, is forgotten by the state showing double standards.
How does it link to the far right? Rigby murder was a short walk from the Lawrence murder site. Murder of Rigby an exemplary soldier was a national phenomenon forgotten by the state. Lawrence was murdered by violent thugs and we're told 'national significance'. Double standards.
I joined the Conservative Party in the 1990s. Years of canvassing, campaigning, leaflets. Yet I now find it impossible to avoid the word 'liars' every time I think of the party. I'm a member but it's no longer 'my' party under May and the pro-EU cabal are well and truly out.
You've might've misunderstood what's happening here. A veteran criticised MPs for their silence. Mercer is slagging him off for that.
This article is predicated on a lie then tells several more lies. The EU in fact has done more in 12 months on defence than in the 40 previous years. They even say so. Staggering pace. You just haven't been following it.
You are a devious little scrote. It has nothing to do with Brexit.
If this had been Labour, Lib Dem or Labour as victims, police would be questioning the main rivals. However police apparently only protect snowflakes in politics these days. They regard Tories and Ukip as fair game and don't tell them you're for Brexit. That right @DC_Police ?
Maybe he was a boy sailor but he'd have to be 92 to have been in the Arctic Convoys or maybe it's an old photo.
Blond males always the fall guy in advertising. A nasty racial stereotype.
Tell them how Brexit will help us tackle climate disaster. Look at VW dieselgate and the EU's record on emissions and fracking. They're both important and linked.
My girlfriend thinks I'm untrendy and old-fashioned. HOW can she say that when I've just spent 8 bob on new clothes.
This is very poor English. It should say 'it's no mystery', not 'it's no wonder'. Also based on supposition and extrapolation.
You disappearing off the TV would help. Most people I know are thoroughly pleased to be leaving your corrupt EU.
Who are these people and why are you promoting this dross?
Here's an idea: everyone who smokes and expects the NHS to pay for the consequences has to go to a place each year where doctors act out their chances in 20-30 years' time. 80-90% chance of cancer, cardio problems, emphysema etc. We could call it Cig-zania.
You used to be a Brexiter, what happened? Oh yes, you joined the Mail.


There are many Google "productivity apps" but here are two of their "To Do" list making tools.
With the "Tasks" tool you can make lists of things you need to do and check them off when done for that feeling of accomplishment. You can have the main list and sub points under a point.
You can find a link to it in the upper left of your gmail program (see image) or you can also access it from the calendar app.
After you click on the Task link it will appear as a window in the lower right of your screen, that you can then expand it.
Google Keep is a electronic list tool that is more visual. You can make lists of things to do, either via typing them in, or when you are on your mobile device, by saying them with your voice or by taking a photo. They appear like "post it notes" on your screen.
You can find this tool/app via the 9 dot Google Apps area in the upper right corner when you are in either your email or calendar.
When you click there, you have to click on "More" and then "Even more from Google" and then you will need to scroll down a ways and in the "Home and Office" section. Look for the "Keep" name with a yellow light bulb icon and click on it to use it.
While in the program, if you think you might use it, click again on the 9 dot icon in the upper right and then by the Keep icon, click on the option to add a shortcut. Next time you are log into your Google account, you will find the Keep icon in that area with your other common Google tools.

UN welcomes rescinding of death sentence for adultery in Nigeria
The United Nations human rights office today welcomed the rescinding of a death sentence by stoning imposed on a Nigerian woman for adultery, calling it a step in the direction of decency and justice.
A court in the northern Nigerian state of Katsina yesterday overturned an Islamic court's conviction of Amina Lawal last year after she had a baby outside wedlock.
Acting High Commissioner for Human Rights Bertrand Ramcharan commended the work of those inside and outside of Nigeria who had campaigned for justice for Mrs. Lawal, spokesman José Luis Díaz told a news briefing in Geneva.
Mr. Ramcharan expressed particular appreciation for the support of Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on this issue, Mr. Díaz added.
The Office of the High Commissioner had been in constant contact with the Nigerian authorities to highlight the international human rights standard of the issue and had called for them to be upheld, he said, adding that the Office had carried out a detailed legal analysis of the case from the point of view of these standards.
This analysis would be particularly useful in view of other ongoing cases in Nigeria and possibly elsewhere that raised similar concerns as those in the Lawal case, Mr. Díaz added.
A spokesman in New York yesterday said the UN welcomed the decision "which is in line with international human rights standards, and is happy that her life has been spared."

Pittosporum es un género de cerca de 200 especies de fanerógamas en la familia Pittosporaceae. El origen probable del género sería Gondwana; su rango actual se extiende por Australasia, Oceanía, este de Asia y algunas partes de África.

Las especies son árboles y arbustos creciendo de 2-30 m de altura. Las hojas son espiraladas o enroscadas, simples, con márgenes enteros u ondulados (raramente lobulados). Las flores se presentan simples o en umbelas o en corimbos, cada flor con 5-sépalos y 5-pétalos; con frecuencia con esencias dulces. El fruto es una semilla leñosa tipo cápsula, que se quema al madurar para la dehiscencia de las numerosas semillas; éstas están recubiertas de una sustancia pegajosa resinosa.

Pittosporum undulatum (Pittosporum dulce) del este de  Australia es una maleza en algunas áreas. Pittosporum tenuifolium  y P. eugenioides, ambas de Nueva Zelanda, y Pittosporum tobira del sur de Japón se cultivan mucho como plantas ornamentales en áreas subtropicales y de clima templado con inviernos suaves.

Etimología
Pittosporum: del idioma griego πίττα (por πίσσα) 'resina' y σπόρος, 'semilla, simiente', o sea 'simientes pegajosas', pues las semillas están embebidas en una sustancia resinosa-viscosa blanquecina.

Central FC and Arnett Gardens match preview
FLOW CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship 2018

Kingston, Jamaica - Champions in 2015 and 2016, Trinidad and Tobago's Central FC takes on former Jamaican champions Arnett Gardens in one semi-final of the FLOW Caribbean Club Championship at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex in the Jamaican capital on Friday.
The game will be the second of a double-header and gets underway at 9:00 p.m. Jamaica time.
Local champions Portmore United and the Dominican Republic's Club Atletico Pantoja will face off in the other semi-final three hours earlier.
Both winners will meet on Sunday in a contest that will crown the Caribbean club champion and the right to play in the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League in 2019. The losers of Friday's matches will battle for third-place, also on Sunday, with the winner from that fixture set for a berth in the Concacaf League. Concacaf Caribbean Club Shield champion Club Franciscain of Martinique will await the fourth-place team for a showdown for the final Caribbean spot to the Concacaf League.
Central FC coach Stern John is upbeat ahead of the Arnett Gardens meeting. "We have some experienced players coming back into the fray and they are hungry for success.... they want to go to Jamaica and win this Caribbean title and advance to the CONCACAF Champions League," John said.
"After the experience of winning the two previous competitions in 2015 and 2016 and then coming out on top on the previous round in the Dominican Republic, the boys are very eager to taste more success," he went on.
The former Soca Warrior striker shared that he has lost a couple of key players ahead of Friday's start to the play-offs, but he also made some some gains "We will be missing Carlyle Mitchell and Nathan Lewis who have gone on to play with clubs in the United States, but we also have some good experienced players coming into the set up such as defender Daneil Cyrus and goalkeeper Marvin Phillip who are both current members of the Trinidad and Tobago national team," noted John.
Arnett Gardens assistant coach Eugene Williams, too, has set his sights on going all the way, especially with the games scheduled for his club's Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex fortress.
"Our expectation is to go as far as possible... we plan to go to the final and take it from there. "We have to go out there and win because we are the hosts and we are the home team.
For Arnett Gardens to be in the final is good for the sponsors, so we have to go out there and do our best (and) I expect my team to reach the final. "There was a lot of disappointment for us not going to the Premier League final, but the support is always there and you couldn't ask for a better venue to host the games," noted Williams, a former Arnett standout.
The Kingston-based club will be looking to top goal-scorer Fabian Reid for inspiration. Also expected to figure prominently in the quest for their first regional crown are Oneil Thompson, Vishinul Harris, Renae Lloyd, Keniel Hyde and Marvin Morgan.

Q: How filter condition working in spark dataframe? I have a table in hbase with 1 billions records.I want to filter the records based on certain condition (by date).
For example:
Dataframe.filter(col(date) === todayDate)

Filter will be applied after all records from the table will be loaded into memory or I will get  filtered records?

A: If your use case is just read from storage, filter and save it somewhere and if you have some way to read data directly into RDD(that does the lazy load of records) then the filter will be pipelined with read and writes. That means the filter operation will not wait for whole data to be read[In short, the filter is a transformation and not an action]. If you have any actions before the filter then filter will be applied only after whole data is read from the store.

Decide Rejects Ads, Rolls Out Memberships for Smart Shopping Service
Curt Woodward
@xconomy
Shopping recommendation service Decide is pulling the trigger on a very big change today, one that says a lot about the perils online startups can face when it's time to turn their product into actual businesses.
Decide, stocked with veterans of price-tracking service Farecast, offers a shopping recommendation service for consumers through its website and mobile apps. There are plenty of competitors that offer advanced search and historical price tracking for expensive purchases, but Decide takes things a big step further by crunching tons of data to actually predict price adjustments and new product models before those changes hit the market.
Up until now, those services were totally free—and, in fact, could earn you a little money, by way of a money-back guarantee to back up its price predictions on all kinds of consumer products.
But as of today, Decide is making its most valuable features available only to users who pay a $30 annual membership. (You can take advantage of a free one-month trial by using the code DecideFriends). Decide's tracking of past prices and its aggregation of consumer and reviewer ratings will remain free for everybody.
Decide had actually telegraphed this move a little while back, when it announced its price guarantee program. In a note to users, CEO Mike Fridgen said the choice to start charging for the best parts of its service was made to keep advertising from sullying Decide's position as an honest broker of product information.
Mike Fridgen
"We are not influenced by advertisers and retailers and do not accept payment for highlighting their products. As we decided to take the next step as a business, we had a tough decision to make — either allow advertisers on our site (which would make them our customers and we lose our objectivity) or roll out a Decide membership and charge for valuable features," Fridgen wrote.
That part about making the advertisers customers, rather than users, is particularly resonant with anyone who uses other online recommendation services. One of the biggest is Yelp, which is routinely criticized by business owners who believe the site devolves into a "pay to play" operation that extracts advertising dollars. Yelp has long denied this, but as Fridgen's note implies, the mere presence of advertising—and the need to sell those ads—can muddy the waters for businesses and consumers.
Anybody who's in a traditional content business, like the news media, can also tell you about this problem. Even the most exhaustively detailed description of the church-state divide at a big-city newspaper won't dissuade all of the skeptics from their conviction that advertisers influence coverage. And advertisers have been known to throw their weight around over unfavorable coverage.
"Who can you trust in making a purchase decision?" Fridgen said in an interview today. "We can't have mixed incentives with how we're compensated. That's why we're focusing on the user as our customer—having all the features and all the focus being about helping them level the playing field."
There's another set of considerations at play here, of course. Making a lot of money with online advertising depends on a huge and consistent audience—Fridgen says Decide's Web traffic fluctuates, but he says the site is seeing "hundreds of thousands of users a month, and over a million pageviews a month."
But there's also the question of making money through the mobile version of your connected service, an increasingly important sector that even enormous services like Facebook have found difficult to turn into significant sources of revenue.
Subscriptions are another story altogether. Regular payments from users are one of the most coveted forms of income for any business, and a "freemium" service like the one Decide is now offering is particularly well suited for mobile applications. Gaming companies and many others on the front end of the app economy have shown that offering a basic service for free and charging heavy users or big fans for richer features can attract a big enough user base to make the paid side quite lucrative.
And when you're talking about comparing prices on consumer products, mobile devices have to be an enormous part of the equation—there isn't a much better example of why someone would want something like Decide than your average harried shopper trying to see if that snowboard, chainsaw, dishwasher, or camera is a good deal. And Decide actually has bigger ambitions—Fridgen has said several times that the startup wants to get into the car market someday.
Fridgen tells me that Decide looked at companies like Consumer Reports, Angie's List, and Motley Fool as examples of leaders in making a membership service work. Consumer Reports is particularly interesting, since Decide pitches itself as a kind of smarter, 21st century version of the shopping recommendations publication. The magazine is published by a nonprofit organization, Fridgen notes, but counts some 8 million subscribers.
"They make hundreds of millions in revenue a year," Fridgen says. "If you could strip away the cost structure a bit, it could be a very profitable company."
Decide employs about 30 people at its Seattle headquarters, and has raised about $8.5 million to date from investors including Madrona Venture Group and Maveron. Decide will probably be back in the fundraising market in the first half of next year, Fridgen says.

ARTICLES TECH IF THE INTERNET DISAPPEARED: POLITICS IN THE APOCALYPSE
If The Internet Disappeared: Politics in the Apocalypse
The following is the fifth entry we've published from a journal found in a dumpster in Bayside, New York. Little is known about its origin, but judging from the title "Notes from the Internet Apocalypse, 2013," it comes from the future. Oh, and Gladstone wrote it. We do know that. But the Gladstone we know or future Gladstone? It's almost impossible to say. Nevertheless, it is reprinted here as a cautionary tale ...
Day 33: POLITICS IN THE APOCALYPSE Thirty-three days in and the newest victim of the Apocalypse seems to be the political left. T.V. ratings and radio listenership are way up, and that's where the Right thrives. NPR is no match for the multi-pronged attack of Republican talk radio, and MSNBC can't compete with Fox. The Internet was the only thing that the Left was almost kind of good at. And while it's refreshing not to have my inbox flooded with sophomoric Moveon.org vids comparing Sarah Palin to Hitler, like during the 2012 elections, it's a little frightening that even with a Democrat in office, the public influence war is over. All we have is the New York Times, and who's shelling out two bucks for a paper in this economy?
Shop owners have been marking up prices without competition from the Net. And while that might be good news for those businesses, computer and gadget sales have tanked along with all the tech and marketing jobs that go with that. Firms and businesses keep laying off IT people too. After all, how many guys do you need to fix your Excel spreadsheet or document management program? But despite the cutbacks, there hasn't been much of a protest. We know something has changed. I wouldn't call it acceptance, but people aren't even clicking refresh anymore. It just seems stupid like pushing the elevator button a second time.And, of course, there's still the continuing reports of planned terrorist attacks against the city. As a security measure, the entrances to New York remain closed, but now people are free to leave. New York has lost 25 percent of its population in the last four days. And just like before the Apocalypse, all the most frightened and boring people took off for New Jersey.
The three of us have holed up at Oz's hotel in the Village because going back to Brooklyn would lock us out of our chances of finding the Internet. I kicked in some money for the room, and Tobey offered Oz his last fifty bucks to watch her shower. It's probably for the best that she declined considering I'm fairly certain Tobey just wanted to make more retarded Australia jokes. "Crikey, that's not a rack. Now THAT'S a rack!"But even sexually retarded, self-proclaimed Libertarians aren't free from the Right's growing influence. This morning Tobey awoke with a start, falling off the couch and rousing Oz and me from our sleep. To my credit or shame, Oz felt safe sharing the bed with me. It helped that we kept something between us - her sleeping under both the sheet and comforter and me sandwiched between the two with only a sheer layer of cotton separating my broken desire from her body. Most mornings, I woke first and had a few moments to myself to watch the covers rise and fall with her breathing. I would stare at the flush two blankets brought to her cheek and try to divine her dreams.
But this morning, all that was lost with Tobey's claims that he dreamed who stole the Internet. I was skeptical. Most of Tobey's inspiring dreams involved jokes about how hot he still is for Demi Moore ("If my right arm got sheared off in an industrial accident while Demi Moore was blowing me, my only concern would be that I'd lose consciousness before she finished.")"Gladstone," he said. "Why are we making this so hard? Terrorist Internet chatter intercepted somewhere downtown. Duh? Why don't we go to the Ground Zero Mosque?""Park 51? For the same reason we're not going to the Olive Garden in Time Square. It's stupid idea. And what's more, the Mosque doesn't even come with breadsticks.""Oh, here we go again," Tobey mocked."Nice retort, Drudge. I guess you've made your case."
Tobey and I went back and forth until Oz interrupted, "I know you guys think I'm just some chick from a country filled with crocodile hunters and baby-eating dingos, but if I could...""And vegemite sandwiches," Tobey added. "Yes. Vegemite sandwiches. Thank you. But it doesn't really matter who's right. We're out of ideas. Terrorist sympathizers or slandered Muslims, the Mosque is downtown and we've got fuck all intelligence so, y'know, why not?
Day 33 ADDENDUM: THE MOSQUE NOT AT GROUND ZERO It's two days later, and now that I have my journal back, I can document what happened after our decision to go downtown. It started innocently enough. Like any mission composed of people who didn't know what they were doing, we decided the first thing we'd need were supplies. The KMart in Penn station gave us plenty of opportunities to fill our arms without reason. Swiss army knives, compasses, backpacks, and even an inflatable raft. It wasn't until we were done shopping that we realized our purchases were gleaned more from old MacGyver episodes than anything we might need in the Apocalypse. But seeing as we didn't know what that was exactly, who's to say they weren't the same thing.We got off the 1 at Rector street and made our way to Park 51. I was surprised to find it was still just occupying space in the abandoned Burlington Coat Factory while trying to raise construction money amidst a sea of bad press. Tobey adopted a stealthy Spider-Man creep fifty yards from the destinate."Y'think there's a way in through the roof?" he asked."No, but it has a front door, jackass. The center's open to all New Yorkers."We walked in and started gathering intelligence which basically meant Oz and I took a free class on Middle Eastern cooking, and Tobey had a pick-up basketball game with three Egyptian exchange students from NYU.
Go to page 2.
After a couple of hours, even Tobey began to believe Park 51 wasn't the hotbed of terrorist activity that Glenn Beck had led him to believe. And even if it were, we couldn't find any trace of the Internet. We were about to grab our things and get wrecked at the Heartland Brewery in the Seaport when we heard it. Something I hadn't heard in at least ten years. A modem. "Fuck, I knew it!" Tobey said."Knew what?" I said."Don't tell me you didn't hear that modem. That's the sounds of the Internet.""Yeah, I heard something, but why would anyone be using a modem now?""What's a modem," Oz asked. (She was very young.)"It's a terrible crunching beeping noise that used to connect people to the Internet on dial up.""That?" Oz asked. "I think chef Abdul is just mashing some more dates in a blender."
"Wait a second. It's coming from outside," I said. We looked up through the glass of the lobby doors to see twenty soldiers in riot gear. The black stormtroopers from the Park had returned. And that modem we'd heard now appeared to be merely dispatcher crackles over walkie talkies. But I didn't process that then. At that moment, all I could think of was the force of twenty troops plowing inside a lobby. Flowing like violence and filled with screams for everyone to hit the floor. Oz broke for the door, and was taken down instantly. I sprung forward as if the knee pressing into her back were actually driving mine, but a trooper blocked my way, screaming, "Get down, now!"Before I could even decide to comply, another guard shouted that someone was getting away. Tobey was sprinting uptown with two troopers following after him. They labored under the weight of their riot gear, but Tobey bounced off pedestrians all legs and elbows like an 80s video game character.And then I was on the floor. My face inches from Oz. My own trooper for my back. She looked at me, hoping for something I could not give, and I watched them take her away.
Day 35: INTERROGATION I was placed in a van and taken to what seemed to be a conventional downtown office building. I wasn't told why I was under arrest or if I were under arrest. Once sequestered, my cuffs were removed, but so were my possessions: backpack, journal and flask. After about an hour, a man about forty-five and devoid of body fat or humor entered the room. He was holding my backpack."Mr. Gladstone," he said, pulling a chair from the small conference table between us. "My name is Agent Rowsdower. Do you mind if I have a seat?" "Am I under arrest?"Rowsdower sat and smiled. His teeth were too small or there were too many. Maybe both. Something was wrong and less than human."Why? Have you done anything wrong?" he asked."Good one. What have you done with Oz?"He unzipped my backpack and tossed my journal on the table."Oz," he said. "Would that be the Australian webcam girl you write about?""What gives you the right to read my journal?""What gives me the right? What's the matter, Gladstone? Bright guy like you doesn't read the papers?""I used to get my news online." "Right. Of course, you did. Well, you might want to acquaint yourself with the NET Recovery Act." He pulled my flask from the bag. "Here. You're not gonna like this."I took a swig and felt the numbing warmth tingle to my arms while Rowsdower proceeded to tell me about the National Emergency Technical Recovery Act. Drafted by Obama's White House and passed by an overwhelming majority in both houses across party lines, the Act gave the government additional state of emergency powers if used "in the direct furtherance" of restoring the Internet. This power allowed officials to interrogate and even detain "persons of interest" for up to 48 hours without charges or representation by counsel."And how the hell did I become a person of interest?""Well, you tell me, Gladstone. Do you think in the last few days most citizens have been consorting with Anonymous at covert 4Chan gatherings and visiting downtown Mosques amid rumors of terrorist Internet chatter emanating from downtown?""Still doesn't make me a threat to national security.""Don't worry, Gladstone. I tend to believe you. I'm thinking someone out on psychiatric disability for the last two years isn't going to hijack the world's technology.""Two years? Check your stats. More like two weeks. No wonder Anonymous kicked ass in your counter-intelligence wars. You guys are a mess." Rowsdower remained calm. I was fairly certain everything he'd ever attained in life was achieved from this ability not to react. To not say the things a more honest man would say. But there was something else at play I couldn't discern. Not quite empathy, but something. He took a breath."Am I correct, Mr. Gladstone that you wouldn't want to talk to me about your wife, Romaya?""I'd prefer not to," I said."And why's that?""My wife is dead" A pulse rippled across Rowsdower's face, beneath his skin."Right. That's what I thought," he said, zipping up my bag.For some reason, it also contained Tobey's camera."You're free to go, Mr. Gladstone. I'm sorry for the disturbance. I'll let you find your own way out.""Out of a prison?" I asked."Prison? This is just an office building. Under the NET Recovery Act, the Government is empowered to commandeer private property for the purposes of interrogation."Rowsdower left the door open behind him.I was free to go.I was alone.

Officers investigating two shop burglaries in Eastwood are "exploring the possibility" they may be linked and are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
Offenders broke into the Boots store in Nottingham Road at about 8.55pm Sunday, September 30 before stealing a quantity of cash.
At about 2.25am Monday, October 1 suspects broke into the Mark Jarvis bookmakers in Nottingham Road. Once inside they attacked gaming machines, tills and cabinets before stealing a quantity of cash from the till.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said:"Enquiries are ongoing, including reviewing CCTV footage."
Officers are urging anyone with any information about the burglaries to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident numbers 902 of 30 September for the Boots burglary or 36 of 1 October for the bookmakers burglary, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.


So up & out for a day trip. Arriving at Shoeburyness, Southeast Essex. The Thames estuary; the mouth of The River Thames.
I chuckled when I spotted this shop just along from the train station. February the 17th and they are still advertising Christmas trees. I was also wondering if the valentines stuff was now discounted.
I was going to take a photo of the tea hut over looking the estuary but I was shocked at their prices. Still it was a warming cup of tea on a cold-ish day.
River Thames @ North Sea towards Belgium & Holland (Feel free to correct me, I haven't looked it up and my geography is rubbish).
Just near these stairs were the first of many beach huts. They were for sale at the bargain price of £45,000. No electricity, no gas…..
It doesn't take long to see some of the history for the area. Due to its location it had a garrison based here.
A more subtle reminder are the mounds that cover the old bomb shelters and the houses in the background that were once the garrison officers homes and mess.
Walking along The Thames toward southend central there are more derelict reminders of our coastal defences from invasion. I don't mind graffiti but I do find it a little disrespectful when it is slapped on places of historical importance.
If you are visiting this location please be aware that the MOD still has some activities here and for your own safety take notice of any signage.
Further along is one of Her Majesty's Coastguard Stations (HMC). Although a uniformed service HMC is involved with maritime search and rescue within the United Kingdom's waters and coast line. They are not part of the military forces or law enforcement agencies.
More beach huts. Over six hundred of them! Some at land level and some built up and looking a bit fancy. Beach huts can cost a fortune and many that have them love them.
Some with have some facilities but many have no water, no electricity, no gas and I believe many, if not most have a no overnight licensing agreement.
Beach hut history seems to go back to Victorian times. Women would get changed in a sort of wagon that would get towed across the beach to the sea so the woman could maintain her modesty before having a plunge into our cold british waters.
At some time in history it became acceptable for men and women to swim together and these wagons, sea machines were abandoned; later to be used for changing and storing belongings.
I wonder what the Victorian men and women would make of modern day beach wear?
Well as I am at the seaside so I guess I need to show some water and maybe a boat or two.
Naturally a day at the seaside has to result in a fish 'n' chips meal. Please not that as part of my healthy and balanced diet I opted for the contradictory Pepsi.
Southend pier marks the end of this short walk. So its up to southend central train station before heading back into London.
I've only scratched the surface of what there is to see, do and the history, so if you know the area please feel free to add any recommendations for venues to visit or annual events in the comments section.

28 May 2014 // Country Feature // Comments OFF
Bolivia's capacity increases by 27% in 2013; Boliviana de Aviacion commands 50% of weekly seats
Amaszonas, the second largest carrier in Bolivia, serves a total of eight destinations in the country, as of May 2014. In fact, on 22 May, the operator launched a new international service from its Santa Cruz hub to Cuiaba in Brazil with thrice-weekly flights, using its CRJ 200s.
Covering an area of 1.1 million square kilometres (around twice the size of Spain), Bolivia is a landlocked country in South America, being rich in mineral and energy resources. Inhabited by over 10 million people, the country features a population density similar to that of Russia at just over nine people per square kilometre. According to IATA, the country's GDP growth has accelerated since 2001, boosted by high gas and other commodity prices, government spending and by large inflows of remittances from emigrant workers elsewhere in South America and Europe. The aviation industry has played a significant role in supporting economic growth as well, due to Bolivia being relatively isolated from the major global markets around the world. The country's three biggest gateways (in terms of annual seat capacity) are Santa Cruz, La Paz and Cochabamba airports, which have increased their combined annual seat capacity by 42% since anna.aero last looked at this country market five years ago.
All three biggest airports grew by over 25% in 2013
Examination of Innovata annual capacity reveals that around 4.4 million one-way seats were offered on services involving Bolivian airports in 2013, representing an impressive increase of 27% over the previous year. That said, all three of the biggest airports managed to post capacity increases when compared to 2012 figures, with Santa Cruz — also known as Viru Viru International Airport — recording the largest growth (35%), followed by La Paz (30%) and Cochabamba (26%). In fact, these top three airports accounted for around 81% of all seats last year.
Source: Innovata / Diio Mi for 2004-2013.
Overall, looking at the annual seat figures since 2004, the combined capacity of Bolivian airports noted almost 72% growth in 2013. Not surprisingly considering the country's political and economic instability in recent years, these airports saw an uneven development during this timeframe.
BoA bosses Bolivia with 50% of seats
As of May 2014, Bolivia is served by a total of 13 carriers, with Boliviana de Aviacion (BoA), the state-owned national flag carrier, being the dominant player in this country market, as it commands over half of weekly seats. The airline operates a total of 16 airport pairs, of which three are international routes. That said, Buenos Aires Ezeiza is BoA's most frequently served international destination with a total of nine weekly flights from Santa Cruz, while the other two are Sao Paulo Guarulhos (daily) and Madrid (thrice-weekly). Furthermore, the flag carrier has a 63% share of weekly seats in the Bolivian domestic market, on which it directly competes with Amaszonas and Ecojet, with the former having commenced thrice-weekly flights from Santa Cruz to Cuiaba during the course of last week.
Source: Innovata / Diio Mi for 20-26 May 2014.
Total weekly seat capacity in Bolivia has gone up 20%, with six out of the 13 carriers recording growth, when comparing data from this May with the same week last year, while four airlines saw their operations unchanged. BoA is not only the biggest airline, but also the fastest growing one, with a net increase of 4,526 weekly seats or 9.2% over the last 12 months. By comparison, GOL, the Brazilian low-cost carrier, noted the greatest capacity decline (-39%), due to reducing its frequency on the 1,851-kilometre Guarulhos-Santa Cruz airport pair from 11 times weekly to daily.
Peru is top international market
While the domestic sector is Bolivia's biggest country market representing almost 83% of all weekly seats, nine countries can be reached non-stop from Bolivian airports according to Innovata schedule data for this May. At around 4,200 weekly seats and 6.5% more than in the corresponding month last year, neighbouring Peru tops the list of foreign countries served, with a combined total of 37 weekly flights operated by Amaszonas, Avianca and LAN Airlines from La Paz and Santa Cruz.
With the exception of the domestic market that has posted a net growth of over 16,500 weekly seats in the past 12 months, Spain and Paraguay have shown the most significant increases, 35% and 32% respectively. As part of its rapid expansion over the last year, Amaszonas commenced four weekly flights from Santa Cruz to Asuncion in Paraguay on 20 November. Unsurprisingly considering GOL's frequency decrease to Guarulhos, operations to Brazil posted a decline of around 23% (-674 seats) in weekly capacity.

Whenever we talk about our food storage (or even just monthly grocery shopping), we always have readers who say they can't keep food storage or shop for a month at a time because they just don't have the space.
I definitely understand small spaces. When we were first married we lived in the tiniest little in-law suite where our kitchen sink was right at the foot of our full bed! That was the beginning of our small space hacks.
Storing food for our family is important, so we've always made it a priority. In several small places we've lived, we've had to come up with ways to store where there wasn't obvious space for it. By creatively using available space, we can maximize the amount of food we have on hand. That lets us stock up when it's a great deal and allows us to do monthly grocery shopping instead of going to the store more frequently (and buying all those things we hadn't really planned on). Finding space to store food is a huge frugal win.
In our second small place, instead of a nightstand, I used two sturdy crates stacked on top of each other as extended storage for our small kitchen. After one unbelievable 50-cent cereal deal, I filled the crates with 32 boxes of cold cereal! We ate that cereal for months! Draped with a small tablecloth, and with a lamp, book, and alarm clock on the top, no one ever knew our food storage was stacked at the side of the bed!
Here are a few of our other favorites. I would love to hear which you could use in your home and what additional ideas you have for maximizing your food storage space. Please share all of your ideas in the comments.
We have always put our bed up on cinder blocks or bed risers to maximize our storage space. Right now we're actually using both! Since we're tall, we don't mind having a high bed. We have six large storage bins and two dozen 3-gallon food grade storage buckets that fit perfectly under our bed. We've done the same with some of our kids' beds. Did you know you can fit fifteen of those 3-gallon buckets under a twin bed if it's raised a little? Then you just refill the pantry from those buckets as needed. It's a huge storage win, and takes almost no effort!
Every time I share our monthly grocery haul, someone comments on the number of bananas that we buy. They wonder how we store them and how we can eat them all before they go bad. Here's the secret: our wall-mounted coat racks. They're perfect for hanging bananas! We only use the racks for coats when we have company over (we keep our own jackets in the mudroom), so it's a great place to store bananas. We've had to teach our kids to open the front door carefully so as not to smash the bananas, but who has room for ten bunches of bananas on the kitchen counter? It's also super convenient. The kids walk in after school and grab a banana for a snack on their way in!
I'm a big fan of the over-the-toilet shelves because they maximize space that is otherwise wasted. They're aren't a lot of great things to keep on them that don't just look like clutter, so I decided to use them for food storage. I have to warn you, though, that the bathroom isn't ideal for all types of food storage. I recommend storing only well sealed items in the bathroom as it's often humid. These big #10 cans have done great for us!
We use our clothesline the majority of the year to save money on utilities (and for lots of other reasons), so our dryer is a cavity of unused space most of the time. We take advantage of this by– you guessed it– storing food in there! Why not use the space? It's a great place to store chips and other munchies so they are out of sight and so they don't get smashed! You can even use the little shelves inside for organizing!
Couches have so much potential for food storage space. Depending on how tall your couch is, you may be able to store quite a bit underneath the couch. You can always put your couch or futon up on cinder blocks or bed risers, just like with the bed, but the tip I'm about to share with you goes beyond that. We've found that under the cushions is a great storage space. We currently have 120 lbs of sugar (12 10-lb bags) in our loveseat. It used to be one of those really squishy couches that seems to swallow you whole and you can hardly get up from. Now it's both higher and firmer. Our guests have commented that they really like the height the stored food adds to the couch! And FYI, we generally have a throw blanket over the couch so the sugar doesn't show. We just took it off for the picture.
When I first bought flour in 25-lb bags, I was trying to think of a good place to keep them as they didn't fit quite right in our 3-gallon buckets. Then it hit me! They were essentially the shape of our pillows. We could get rid of our pillows and switch to flour bags! That would save so much space! I slipped the flour bags into pillow cases to see if my husband would notice. He didn't, but I had to go ahead and tell him so I could brag about my genius idea! As a very practical guy, he was elated.
Okay, I did have a cold cereal nightstand once, and we do have food storage buckets under one of our kids' beds, and we've stored food under our own bed in the past, but everything else about this post is 100% fiction. I actually got the dryer idea from our 3-year-old who likes to hide in there and set up a "store" sometimes.
Find places to store your food, and get creative, but don't try to use flour bags as pillows. They're more like bricks!
Now that you're in a silly mood, check out our April Fools Jokes from past years: Share them with a friend and have a laugh together!
You got me! I kept thinking- I can sign on to most things posted her but NOT this! This is crazy! Thanks for the laugh!
My thoughts: #1, we have food storage currently under our bed too, and it is handy. #2, okay, odd, perhaps they use a different door more often than the front door. Not going to use this tip myself. #3, That's nuts! Bad idea! Oh yeah, it's April Fools day! Then I prepared to enjoy the silliness—very fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed the silliness! 🙂 Happy April Fools!
Yeah, with me you had me going until number 3, that's when I realized it was an April Fool's day joke. Pretty creative!
Yeah, I started out mildly, then worked up to what I thought was the weirdest! 🙂 Happy April Fools Day!
Ha ha! You had me until about #3, and then I started to wonder…(and I should really know better because you've been doing April Fool's Joke posts for years!).
Cinder blocks are definitely a college essential!
I wouldn't do #3 because of #1 and #2.
Always look forward to your April Fool's post!
🙂 Glad you realized it was just a joke! Happy April Fools Day!
I'm a little worried about your child hiding in a dryer. He/she can't get shut in there? My dryer door only has to be pushed to and it's locked—-only way to open it is by pushing from the outside. It's not a game I'd encourage.
Oh my word. If you knew stephanie youd know she watches the kids. And shed never let any of them.be in any.harms way.
I knew it was a joke when I saw the bananas. Unless you like mashed bananas. Always fun to read.
Yes! The bananas are actually still hanging there from when we took the pictures on Saturday. I keep thinking I better take those down before one of the kids blasts through the front door!
I thought the food in bathroom was pretty unconventional (Ok, gross)… I read this on the 2nd, though so wasn't even thinking about April Fool's.
I loved this post! So many practical ideas!
I sent the hubby out to purchase cinder blocks and can't wait to put all these ideas into practice!
Oh my gosh! It took until the bathroom to tip me off. How funny!
I KNEW this was going to be an April fools joke but not gonna lie: I do love the banana coat rack haha. If it weren't for the whole uh, potential to get squashed by the door, I think it would actually be a cool way to store them.
Also, re: storing food in an appliance…my in-laws definitely store food in their dishwasher, specifically rolls at Christmas time. They never use it and it means the rolls actually make it Christmas haha.
Always love your April fools posts!
