Sage, Ink: Islam and the American Melting Pot
This cartoon, originally published in August of 2010, has sadly retained its relevance—never more so than now, as Ben Carson likens some Syrian refugees to "mad dogs" and Donald Trump proposes special registries for Muslims …
Sage, Ink: After the Attacks
This cartoon originally appeared as "Bitter Pill" the week after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Now, following the attacks of last week, France, too, must wrestle with these issues, as the United States—now facing newly issued threats, the growing challenges of encrypted communications, and the resettlement of a wave of Syrian refugees—also continues to do.
For another take from the Atlantic archives on the balancing of security and freedom, see "Just Asking," David Foster Wallace's thought experiment in the magazine's 150th anniversary issue:
What if we chose to accept the fact that every few years, despite all reasonable precautions, some hundreds or thousands of us may die in the sort of ghastly terrorist attack that a democratic republic cannot 100-percent protect itself from without subverting the very principles that make it worth protecting?…

Sage, Ink: Bush and Cheney
In Destiny and Power, a new biography by Jon Meacham, former President George H.W. Bush has harsh words for for the men who served his son as Vice President and Secretary of Defense—referring to Cheney as "iron-ass," and Rumsfeld as "an arrogant fellow." David has a full writeup of the book.
The criticism comes as some surprise, as Cheney had previously served in Bush 41's own administration as Secretary of Defense, and it was originally imagined that the two older men would maintain a connection. Below is the Sage, Ink cartoon that appeared following Bush 43's July 2000 announcement of Dick Cheney as his running mate:
Sage, Ink: Time for a Highway Bill?
This week, the House takes up consideration of a highway and infrastructure bill which, if passed, would be the first long-term transportation spending bill since 2005. Even the 2007 collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, which killed 13 people and injured almost 150, failed to spur significant infrastructure spending, despite drawing widespread attention to the neglected state of many of America's bridges. Below is a Sage, Ink cartoon that originally appeared following the Minnesota bridge disaster.
1:09 PM / October 28, 2015
Sage, Ink: Boehner's Choice
This cartoon was originally posted in October 2013 as Boehner faced the dilemma of reopening the government and avoiding default on the national debt (thereby risking his speakership) or appeasing hard-line GOP lawmakers in the House and safely preserving his role.
Two years later, it again seems relevant as Boehner yields his position and negotiates a bipartisan budget deal on his way out, thereby avoiding a government shutdown and raising the debt ceiling until 2017—allowing his successor Paul Ryan to take over with, as Boehner puts it, "a clean barn." Russell has more:
The budget deal that John Boehner struck in his final days as House speaker is certainly a political gift to Paul Ryan, but you'll have to forgive Ryan for showing a lack of appreciation. "I think this process stinks," the speaker-in-waiting reportedly harrumphed as he walked into a meeting where Republicans were briefed about the 11th-hour agreement. "Under new management, we are not going to run the House this way."
Well played, congressman. Ryan offered no opinion on the substance of the two-year pact, which increases federal spending by $80 billion and raises the debt ceiling, but his harsh assessment of how it came together was a necessary bit of political theater aimed at the group of conservatives [House Freedom Caucus] who have been most wary of his ascension to the speakership.

A Potential Hidden Factor in Why People Have So Much Trouble Losing Weight
Amanda Mull
A new study in mice points to how cell biology, not willpower, might be the root of yo-yo dieting.
The American conventional wisdom about weight loss is simple: A calorie deficit is all that's required to drop excess pounds, and moderating future calorie consumption is all that's required to maintain it. To the idea's adherents, the infinite complexity of human biology acts as one big nutritional piggy bank. Anyone who gains too much weight or loses weight and gains it back has simply failed to balance the caloric checkbook, which can be corrected by forswearing fatty food or carbs.
Endocrinologists have known for decades that the science of weight is far more complicated than calorie deficits and energy expenditures. And in 2016, the fickle complexity of weight came to broad national attention. In a study of former contestants on a season of the weight-loss reality show The Biggest Loser, scientists found that years later, the contestants not only had gained back much or all of the weight they'd lost on the show, but also had far weaker metabolisms than most people their size. The contestants' bodies had fought for years to regain the weight, contrary to the contestants' efforts and wishes. No one was sure why.

An Epidemic of Disbelief
Barbara Bradley Hagerty
What new research reveals about sexual predators, and why police fail to catch them
Robert Spada walked into the decrepit warehouse in Detroit and surveyed the chaos: Thousands of cardboard boxes and large plastic bags were piled haphazardly throughout the cavernous space. The air inside was hot and musty. Spada, an assistant prosecutor, saw that some of the windows were open, others broken, exposing the room to the summer heat. Above the boxes, birds glided in slow, swooping circles.
It was August 17, 2009, and this brick fortress of a building housed evidence that had been collected by the Detroit Police Department. Spada's visit had been prompted by a question: Why were police sometimes unable to locate crucial evidence? The answer lay in the disarray before him.

Trump's Greatest Contribution to American Politics
Todd S. Purdum
The fight on the House floor about Trump's racist tweets illustrates, yet again, how singularly unprepared Washington is for a president like him.
In his racist attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color, Donald Trump violated the norms of civilized public discourse in ways no modern president has come close to doing. And in their effort to condemn the president's virulent remarks, the House Democratic majority dispensed—by raw party-line vote—with parliamentary niceties dating to the pen of Thomas Jefferson himself.
Welcome to another great moment in Washington 2019, where the 45th president seems more determined than ever to keep defining deviancy down, and to encourage everyone else to see the moral high ground as just another slippery and shifting partisan slope.
The day began normally enough for this non-normal age, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi determined to pass a non-binding resolution rebuking Trump's series of tweets attacking the four Democratic members as America-hating socialists who should "go back" to where they came from, even though all but one of them were born in the United States.
Your Smart Toaster Can't Hold a Candle to the Apollo Computer
Alexis C. Madrigal
Despite what everyone says about the power of modern devices, they're nowhere near as capable as the landmark early NASA system.
Editor's Note: This article is part of a series reflecting on the Apollo 11 mission, 50 years later.
Without the computers on board the Apollo spacecraft, there would have been no moon landing, no triumphant first step, no high-water mark for human space travel. A pilot could never have navigated the way to the moon, as if a spaceship were simply a more powerful airplane. The calculations required to make in-flight adjustments and the complexity of the thrust controls outstripped human capacities.
The Apollo Guidance Computer, in both its guises—one on board the core spacecraft, and the other on the lunar module—was a triumph of engineering. Computers had been the size of rooms and filled with vacuum tubes, and if the Apollo computer, at 70 pounds, was not exactly miniature yet, it began "the transition between people bragging about how big their computers are … and bragging about how small their computers are," the MIT aerospace and computing historian David Mindell once joked in a lecture.
The Supreme Court's Worst Decision of My Tenure
District of Columbia v. Heller recognized an individual right to possess a firearm under the Constitution. Here's why the case was wrongly decided.
District of Columbia v. Heller, which recognized an individual right to possess a firearm under the Constitution, is unquestionably the most clearly incorrect decision that the Supreme Court announced during my tenure on the bench.
The text of the Second Amendment unambiguously explains its purpose: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." When it was adopted, the country was concerned that the power of Congress to disarm the state militias and create a national standing army posed an intolerable threat to the sovereignty of the several states.
Your Professional Decline Is Coming (Much) Sooner Than You Think
Here's how to make the most of it.
"It's not true that no one needs you anymore."
These words came from an elderly woman sitting behind me on a late-night flight from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The plane was dark and quiet. A man I assumed to be her husband murmured almost inaudibly in response, something to the effect of "I wish I was dead."
Again, the woman: "Oh, stop saying that."
To hear more feature stories, see our full list or get the Audm iPhone app.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but couldn't help it. I listened with morbid fascination, forming an image of the man in my head as they talked. I imagined someone who had worked hard all his life in relative obscurity, someone with unfulfilled dreams—perhaps of the degree he never attained, the career he never pursued, the company he never started.
An Oral History of Trump's Bigotry
David A. Graham, Adrienne Green, Cullen Murphy, and Parker Richards
His racism and intolerance have always been in evidence; only slowly did he begin to understand how to use them to his advantage.
The first quotation from Donald Trump ever to appear in The New York Times came on October 16, 1973. Trump was responding to charges filed by the Justice Department alleging racial bias at his family's real-estate company. "They are absolutely ridiculous," Trump said of the charges. "We have never discriminated, and we never would."
In the years since then, Trump has assembled a long record of comment on issues involving African Americans as well as Mexicans, Hispanics more broadly, Native Americans, Muslims, Jews, immigrants, women, and people with disabilities.

Am I an American?
Ibram X. Kendi
President Trump's tirade against four minority congresswomen prompts the question: Whom does he consider to be American?
I live in envy. I envy the people who know their nationality. All the people whose nationality has never been a question in their mind.
I can imagine the woman staring at her reflection in the Volta River who knows she's Ghanaian, like her ancestors who liberated their people in 1957 and chose the mighty pre-colonial Ghana as the name of their new nation. I can imagine the woman flying into Frankfurt who knows she's German, who knows she's arriving back home. I can imagine the man working on his antique car outside his home in Biloxi, forehead covered by the prized blood-red baseball cap he purchased at a rally back in November, a man who has never been told, "Go back to your country!" If somehow someone did tell him, it would confuse him as much as it would the Ghanaian or German woman. It would be like someone driving by his house and shouting at him, "Go back to your home!"

The Con Man Who Became a True-Crime Writer
Rachel Monroe
In his old life, Matthew Cox told stories to scam his way into millions of dollars. Now he's trying to make it by selling tales that are true.
Last April, I received an odd email from a man named Matthew Cox. "I am an inmate at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Florida," he wrote. "I'm also a true crime writer." He had one year left on his sentence and was "attempting to develop a body of work that will allow me to exit prison with a new career." He included a story about a fellow inmate who'd been ensnared in a complicated currency-trading scam, hoping that I'd write about it for The Atlantic.
"This is fascinating," I replied. I didn't mean the currency-trading scam, which was too procedural for my tastes, but Cox's own trajectory. He described himself as "an infamous con man writing his fellow inmates' true crime stories while immersed in federal prison." I'd never had a possible subject pitch his own tale so aptly. I wasn't entirely sure that was a good thing.

What Really Happened to Malaysia's Missing Airplane
William Langewiesche
Five years ago, the flight vanished into the Indian Ocean. Officials on land know more about why than they dare to say.
1. The Disappearance
At 12:42 a.m. on the quiet, moonlit night of March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines took off from Kuala Lumpur and turned toward Beijing, climbing to its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. The designator for Malaysia Airlines is MH. The flight number was 370. Fariq Hamid, the first officer, was flying the airplane. He was 27 years old. This was a training flight for him, the last one; he would soon be fully certified. His trainer was the pilot in command, a man named Zaharie Ahmad Shah, who at 53 was one of the most senior captains at Malaysia Airlines. In Malaysian style, he was known by his first name, Zaharie. He was married and had three adult children. He lived in a gated development. He owned two houses. In his first house he had installed an elaborate Microsoft flight simulator.

How to understand women's logic?
it is not necessary to understand (do not understand), it should be taken as fact. And to be a woman!
I have the same asked men! how to understand men's logic! and the deeds that men commit!
Their logic:MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make everything on YOUR way!!!
If you move the male logic on paper, you get a little welcome brochure.
And just everything is very simple: a woman is more emotionally perceived reality, while man is more rational.
"At competition of female logic won the random number generator..." Gee! It seems to be.
To cut yourself..,you dig up a hole and serosity yourself why you did it!

Sage Hospital Regains IHS Funding
In two precedent setting opinions, the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico ruled that, under recent amendments to the federal venue statute, suit against the Indian Health Service was properly brought in the District of New Mexico based on the domicile of one of the individual defendants and that the IHS could not refuse to renew an Self Determination Act contract to the Navajo Health Foundation-Sage Memorial Hospital ("Hospital") based on any of the five declination criteria applicable to new contracting. The Court issued a preliminary injunction requiring IHS to fund the Hospital at pre-dispute levels pending final resolution of the dispute. The District Court by Memorandum Opinion and Order on August 31, 2015 (amended Oct. 26, 2015) then granted the Hospital's motion for summary judgment, ruling that IHS unlawfully declined to approve the Hospital's three-year contract renewal proposals and approve and fully fund the Hospital's proposed FY 2014 and FY 2015 Annual Funding Agreements.
FEDERAL COURT DISMISSES SECOND LAWSUIT
CHALLENGING NAVAJO PREFERENCE IN EMPLOYMENT
The Firm announced today that the federal District Court has dismissed with prejudice (meaning that the case may not be refiled) a second lawsuit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission challenging Navajo employment preferences on the Navajo Nation. An earlier precedent-setting case handled by the Firm and decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2014 had determined that Navajo preference was lawful for mineral leases, ruling that 'federal law yields out of respect for treaty rights or the federal policy fostering tribal self-determination.' Today's dismissal of the second lawsuit, EEOC v. Bashas', Inc. and Navajo Nation, No. 2:05-cv-02382, confirms that business site leases entered into under a different set of federal statutes but also requiring Navajo preference in employment are also lawful. There are 326 such leases, and these leases are the basis of the Navajo Nation's commercial economy.
Today's dismissal of the EEOC's lawsuit against Bashas' and the Navajo Nation confirms that Navajo-specific employment preference on Navajo lands is lawful, alive and well. As a defendant in both lawsuits filed by the EEOC, the Navajo Nation never wavered in its commitment to defend Navajo law and policy mandating that preference in employment be given to qualified Navajo applicants. Today's dismissal of the Bashas' case underscores the longstanding commitment of the Navajo Nation Department of Justice and this Firm to safeguarding the long-term sovereign interests of the Navajo Nation and the prosperity of present and future generations of Navajo people.
EEOC's Challenge to Navajo Tribal Preference in Employment Rejected by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
In a precedent-setting opinion, the lawfulness of the Navajo tribal employment preference provisions in the Peabody coal leases was confirmed today by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Nation was represented by this Firm, which defended the Nation against a claim by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that under Title VII, a federal law, hiring preferences on Navajo tribal lands had to be extended to any and all Native Americans and could not be limited to Navajo tribal members. The EEOC's claim was flatly rejected by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which held that the Navajo tribal hiring preferences challenged by EEOC ensured "that the economic value of the mineral leases on tribal lands inures to the benefit of the tribe and its members." The Court went on to hold that Title VII's prohibition against national origin discrimination in the workplace does not reach Navajo tribal employment preferences based on tribal membership. The Ninth Circuit recognized that "federal law yields out of respect for treaty rights or the federal policy fostering tribal self-determination."
As a defendant in the lawsuit filed by EEOC, the Navajo Nation never waivered in its commitment to defend Navajo tribal employment provisions throughout more than a decade of litigation, which included three separate appeals to the Ninth Circuit and two petitions to the United States Supreme Court. Today's victory underscores the longstanding commitment of this Firm to successfully safeguarding the long term sovereign interests of Native Nations.

Avstro-Ogrski kompromis (nemško Ausgleich, madžarsko Kiegyezés), sklenjen leta 1867,  je vzpostavil dvojno Avstro-Ogrsko monarhijo. S kompromisom se je končala 18 let dolga avstrijska vojaška diktatura in absolutistična vladavina na Ogrskem, ki jo je po madžarski revoluciji leta 1848 uvedel Franc Jožef I. Kompromis je delno ponovno vzpostavil nekdanjo suverenost  Kraljevine Ogrske, ki je ostala član, ampak ne več podložnik Avstrijskega imperija. Kompromis je obnovil tudi staro zgodovinsko ustavo Kraljevine Ogrske.

Ogrski politični voditelji so imeli med pogajanji dva glavna cilja. Prvi je bil  ponovno pridobiti tradicionalni pravni in politični status madžarske države, ki je bil izgubljen po madžarski revoluciji (1848). Drugi cilj je bil obnoviti vrsto reformnih zakonov revolucionarnega parlamenta iz leta 1848, ki so temeljili na 12 točkah in so na Ogrskem vzpostavile sodobne državljanske in politične pravice ter gospodarske in družbene reforme. Franc Jožef I. je obnovil celo aprilske zakone Ogrskega  revolucionarnega parlamenta, razen zakonov, ki so temeljili na 9. in 10. točki.

S kompromisom so bile dežele Habsburške hiše reorganizirane kot realna unija  Avstrijskega cesarstva in Kraljevine Ogrske na čelu z enim monarhom, ki je v avstrijski polovici cesarstva vladal kot avstrijski cesar in v ogrski polovici kot ogrski kralj. V cislajtanskih (avstrijskih) in translajtanskih (ogrskih) deželah sta vladala ločena parlamenta in ministrska predsednika.

Državi sta vodili enotno zunanjo diplomatsko in obrambno politiko. V te namene sta imeli skupna  ministra  za zunanje zadeve in obrambo pod neposrednim nadzorom monarha. Tretje skupno ministrstvo je bilo odgovorno za finance skupnih portfeljev.

Kompromis je bil med etničnimi Madžari zelo nepriljubljen, ker na madžarskih parlamentarnih volitvah niso glasovali za vladajoče prokompromisne stranke. Sklenitev Avstro-Ogrskega kompromisa, torej tudi ustanovitev Avstro-Ogrske, je bila večinoma rezultat priljubljenosti prokompromisne vladajoče Liberalne stranke med volivci etničnih manjšin v Kraljevini Ogrski.

Po besedah avstrijskega cesarja Franca Jožefa I.  "… smo se za kompromis dogovorili trije: Deák, Andrássy in jaz."

Določila

 Obnovljena je bila stara zgodovinska ustava Ogrske.
 Ponovno je bil ustanovljen Ogrski parlament, ki je bil na Ogrskem zakonodajna oblast od 12. stoletja, kakršen je bil pred letom 1848. Vsak del monarhije je imel svojo vlado, ki jo je vodil lastni premier. "Dvojno monarhijo" so sestavljali kralj cesar, skupna ministra za zunanje zadeve, obrambo in finančno ministrstvo samo za potrebe skupne armade, mornarice in diplomatske izdatke.
 Na ozemlju Kraljevine Ogrske so bili obnovljeni ogrski pravni sistem in ogrski zakoni. Med pogajanji o kompromisu je cesar ponovno sprejel celo aprilske zakone Ogrskega  revolucionarnega parlamenta, razen zakonov, ki so temeljili na 9. in 10. točki.
 Obnovljen je bil tradicionalno neodvisen in ločen ogrski sodni sistem.
 Avstro-Ogrska kot skupna entiteta ni imela nobene zakonodajne in sodne oblasti, ker ni imela skupnega parlamenta. Skupne diplomatske in vojaške zadeve so vodile delegacije Cesarskega sveta in Ogrskega parlamenta. Delegacije so imele 60 članov Cesarskega sveta in 60 članov Ogrskega parlamenta. Razmerja političnih frakcij v delegacijah so bila natančen odraz stanja v njihovih parlamentih. Člani delegacij obeh parlamentov niso imeli pravice govora, razpravljanja in uvajanja novih idej, tako da niso bili nič drugega kot podaljšana roka njihovih parlamentov. Edina funkcija delegatov je bila prenos glasov v skladu s predhodno sprejetimi odločitvami njihovih političnih frakcij iz avstrijskega in ogrskega parlamenta. Vse skupne odločitve je moral avstrijski parlament ratificirati na avstrijskem ozemlju, ogrski parlament pa   na ozemlju Kraljevine Ogrske.
 Ustanovljeno je bilo  skupno ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve, pristojno za diplomacijo in zunanjo politiko.
 V Avstro-Ogrski ni bilo skupnega državljanstva; posameznik je lahko bil avstrijski ali ogrski  državljan, nikoli pa ne državljan obeh entitet. Avstro-Ogrska je uporabljala dva ločena potna lista: avstrijskega in ogrskega. Skupnega potnega lista ni bilo.
 Ustanovljeno je bilo skupno finančno ministrstvo, vendar samo za izdatke skupne vojske, mornarice in diplomatske službe ter izdajo bankovcev. Vodil ga  je skupni finančni minister. Za vse druge izdatke sta bila pristojna avstrijski  finančni  minister  v Avstrijskem cesarstvu in ogrski  finančni minister v Kraljevini Ogrski. Avstrijski finančni minister je bil podrejen samo predsedniku avstrijske vlade,  ogrski finančni minister pa samo predsedniku ogrske vlade.
 Monetarni in gospodarski  pogoji kompromisa in carinske unije so vsakih deset let postali predmet novih pogajanj.
 Avstrija in Ogrska sta bili kljub temu, da sta imeli skupno valuto, fiskalno suvereni in neodvisni entiteti.
 Mednarodne trgovinske pogodbe in trgovinske sporazume sta Avstrija in Ogrska sklepali neodvisno kot neodvisni državi. Za tovrstne sporazume skupno finančno ministrstvo ni bilo pristojno.
 Obnovljeno je bilo Kraljevo ogrsko domobranstvo (Honvéd) in ustanovljeno Cesarsko domobranstvo (Landwehr). Skupno vojsko, večjo od obeh domačih, sta financirali obe državi. Ustanovljeno je bilo tudi skupno ministrstvo za obrambo,  ki ni imelo  pravice neposredno poveljevati niti Landwehru niti  Honvédu, ker sta bila pod neposrednim nadzorom ločenih avstrijskih in ogrskih  ministrstev za obrambo.  Avstrijski in ogrski obrambni minister nista bila pod poveljstvom in pristojnostjo skupnega vojnega ministrstva. Podrejena sta bila svojima ministrskima predsednikoma in parlamentoma na Dunaju oziroma Budimpešti.
 Ogrska je prevzela velik del visokega avstrijskega državnega dolga.
 Kralj je postal vrhovni vojskovodja in imel vso oblast nad strukturo, organizacijo in upravo vojske. Imenoval je visoke uradnike, imel je pravico napovedati vojno in biti vrhovni poveljnik vojske.
 Imel je pravico razglasiti izredno stanje v državi.
 Imel je pravico do predhodne privolitve na vsak predlog zakona, ki ga je Svet vlade želel poslati Državnemu zboru. Imel je pravico veta na vsak zakon, ki ga je sprejel Državni zbor.
 Imel je pravico razpustitve Nacionalnega parlamenta.
 Imel je pravico imenovati in razreševati člane Sveta vlade.

Kompromis je pomenil veliko zmanjšanje ogrske suverenosti in samostojnosti, tudi v primerjavi s statusom quo pred letom 1848.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) In U.S. Lawsuit For Collecting Users' 'Private' Data
By HEFFX on June 3, 2020
Alphabet Inc's Google (GOOGL) is being sued in a proposed class-action suit for allegedly invading the privacy of millions of users by tracking their internet use through browsers set in "private" mode.
According to a report, the lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the internet search giant of collecting information concerning what users search online and where they browse, despite using what Google calls incognito mode.
The complaint filed in the federal court in San Jose, California, asserts that Google collects data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager and other applications and website plug-ins, together with smartphone apps, regardless of whether or not users click on Google-supported ads.
As a result, Google learns about users' friends, hobbies, favorite foods, shopping habits, and even the "most intimate and potentially embarrassing things" they search for online, the complaint said.
In response Jose Castaneda, a Google spokesman, said that the California-based company will defend itself vigorously against the claims.
"As we tend to clearly state whenever you open a new concealed tab, websites may be able to collect data concerning your browsing activity," he said.
According to the complaint the proposed class probably includes "millions" of Google users who since June1, 2016 browsed the internet in "private" mode. It seeks at least $5,000 of damages per user for violations of federal wiretapping and California privacy laws.
Shares in Google have surged 37% since March 23 erasing all of their losses suffered earlier this year. The stock rose less than 1% to $1,439.22 as of Tuesday's close.
In view of the recent rally, the stock's upside potential is currently expected to be more limited. the analyst price target of $1,523.87 indicates shares may advance a mere 5.65% in the coming twelve months.
By the way, prices are vulnerable to a correction towards 1,348.13.
The projected upper bound is: 1,543.88.
The projected lower bound is: 1,349.23.
The projected closing price is: 1,446.56.

A Resurgence in the Antique Market?
Following our January, 2011, auction of art, antiques and decorative arts, many of us, staff and customers, wondered if the increased bidding, attendance and prices realized were just a 'hiccup' of market conditions, or indicative of a trend.
Our February 19 auction seemed to confirm that there is a noticeable increase in demand for quality antiques and decorative arts. Our assertion is based on a higher-than-normal number of new bidder registrations, and better than average online page views via our catalogues posted to both our site and to our live bidding facilitator, Live Auctioneers.
A noticeable difference in bidding results showed that onsite bidders (bidders in our gallery during the auction) purchased a higher percentage of the items than their online, live bidding counterparts. The percentage of winning bidders via Live Auctioneers was reduced by 5.2%, based on an average of the last six month's totals. We attribute this change to a surge in local buyer interest, again, illustrated by the number of onsite, first-time registrations to our auctions.
Of the categories which have suffered significantly over the last 5 years, mid-level antique furniture (items formerly selling between $500 and $2500), had taken a large reduction in sale prices. These items have been, and remain, a tremendous value when compared to the poor quality seen in new decorator furnishings. Perhaps the public is beginning to recognize that the high-end name brand furnishings have all suffered in quality in the last ten years, while their pricing remained consistent with the quality previously offered. Maybe, just maybe, the public is beginning to explore the option of vintage and antique furniture, given the solid wood, handmade, high quality of most pieces, as an alternative to pressed wood and laminate.
Further verification of an increasing market was told to me secondhand; a friend who exhibited at the Miami Beach Antique Show (one of the largest in this country) in early February shared that he thought the show was a raving success. He sold every single item he took to sell, and commented that the attendance was excellent, and that several dealers were extremely pleased with their sales.
Our market commentary through the change in buyer demographics and the effect of the down economy, has been that the best quality items have, and will continue to find, a receptive market, no matter the category- art, rugs, jewelry, decorative arts or furniture.
We are often asked, "When is the best time to sell?" The answer is qualified by what the client is offering for sale. As we have seen over and over, if the item to be sold is properly marketed, represents a very high quality and is exposed to the correct market, the date of the offering is of little consequence. Today's buyer/collector wants the best quality they can find, whenever they can find it, and the accumulative nature of the previous generations' collectors no longer defines or influences today's market.
However, based on our buyer responses to the last two auctions' content of better quality furniture, art and decorative arts, the best time to sell may be right now.


Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I suspect this topic may have already been discussed, but it intrigues me.
I first became a veggie when my sister and brother stopped eating meat. I lived with them, and rather than me taking a decision to stop, I just kinda evolved into not eating meat. There was no concious decision to stop, it happened naturally. However, as my meat consumption reduced I did become more empathetic with the idea of vegetarianism. As I say not a concious decision.
I remember very vividly that when I was eating meat I never attached any human like qualities to the animal I was eating. Quite bizarre considering I had a dog which I could never dream of eating. So this got me thinking.
Is the brain playing a few tricks on us. It suspends our empathetic part of our brain so we can consume meat. As humans we are clearly susceptible to humanising animals (dogs etc...). Not until we fully understand eating meat is not required for survival, like what happened with me, then do we stop suspending these emotions. Empathy and attaching human qualities to animals is obviously a useful tool in survival. but our brain does appear to have a function to switch them off if needs (or a perceived need) be.
I remember watching animal cruelty videos and so on and it really didn't effect me in the slightest,. I recognised it was wrong in a kinda of emotionless way, but certainly not on a level which made me question what I ate or did. There was something there beyond my own thoughts that was stopping me attaching sympathy with these animals. it's something very strong.
The strength of feeling meat eaters have, to me anyway, goes beyond a concious choice. I was once the same as them so I can sympathise with their position. My brain couldn't really understand veggies. However the fact 90% of the population wouldn't eat their dog demonstrates on some level they have the same potential make-up as a vegan.
To a certain extent it is still a battle I rage with today, but I certainly avoid judging meat eaters because to me it's not as if they're ignorant or evil. For me there's something very real in the brain blocking normal human sympathy to animals created for food and that's demonstrated in the fact they don't eat animals they attach human qualities to.
This is a very interesting thought Karter (welcome to the forum btw) and one I shall need to spend a while mulling over.
My initial reaction was no, some people just like to bury their heads' in the sand, ignorance is bliss yada yada yada but that response left me unsatisfied.
I would like to think that it is a deeper rooted reason and one that, over time, can be eliminated altogether, something that our evolution process will filter out maybe??
I don't think I understand what you mean by' human qualities', but - although some people react strongly to animal cruelty documentaries while others don't, I think the 'survival' part plays a role here, starting from the day a human baby eats it's first portion of solid food. If humans from birth had a built in, strong aversion against eating anything with animal products in, our childhood would be filled with conflict very day. If someone grows up in a cannibal community, the ability to keep eating human meat is essential for them, if human meat is an essential part of the diet they are given.
That's how how all meat eaters start being meat eaters as well; there's no conscious decision to start. The only difference is that most meat eaters probably never realize that eating meat isn't something they ever decided to start to do.
Many kids actually do have negative reactions against eating meat and fish, and maybe there is some level of shutting off these intuitive reactions against meat happening in many kids. And maybe that off-shutting is unhealthy on many levels. Maybe it evens leads to a generally higher level of shutting of compassion/empathy than we were 'equipped' with from birth.
It's much easier for people who (for one reason or another) have lived on a plant based diet for a while to make a conscious switch to live on a vegan diet. This probably both has to do with fear of the unknown, habits, the fact that they know that there's no sacrifice (in terms of taste or health) and more. The initial reaction of many adults who eat a good vegan dinner for the first time is 'I could have continued eating only this kind of food'. It hasn't struck them, until then, that living on vegan food only is a choice they could or should consider. The reason is probably a combination of many things, one of course being that it's fully possible to live for many years in the Western world without being offered one tasty, vegan dinner ever.
Another part of this is the kind of childhood conditioning which is derived from parents saying that 'you have to eat everything on your plate' - to kids who rather will have an banana, some nuts and plain pasta for dinner than stuff with fish and meat in. Parents come up with all kinds of silly stuff to convince their children that they have to do and eat what they do. "You'll get sick if you don eat meat' etc. I saw an article once which went through the scientific evidence for things we were more or less threatened with when were kids, like 'if you read a book in poor light you'll eyesight will be damaged' and so on, and the article concluded that most of these things have no foundation in science at all.
Plus - finally, there's that 'Pavlov's Dog' element built into the conditioning process. Parents create a pattern in children when they at all celebrations etc, feed their kids with sugary, fat and unhealthy food. Neither the kids or parents may notice it, but an association between junk food and pleasure is being created that way, which of course affects our choices later in life. This could be an important thing to consider for "semi-vegan" parents; parents who mainly mainly vegan or at least meat free food at home, but are OK with their kids' eating animal products and other junk in weekends/at birthdays etc.
I definitely agree that the brain is playing tricks on us, on many levels - massively helped by all the 'tricks' that have been played on us in our past. The biggest and most harmful tricks of all is probably the ability to *not* feel.
I remember very vividly when I stopped eating meat 20 years ago, that the smell of meat being cooked started to really nauseate me.
Before it had not bothered me, quite the contrary, it had that 'mouth-watering' effect because my brain associated "food" with the smell, but about a month after I stopped eating meat, I began to realize what a hideous stench it actually is.
I guess that the de-sensitizing to pictures of animal cruelty or animal slaughter works in a similar way.
What I mean by human qualities is when we attribute human qualities to an animal.
For example, when I was eating meat when I saw a cow... I saw a plain old boring emotionless cow. However when I was/am with my dog I recognise a whole plethora of emotions that relate to those of a human - happy/sad/angry/. So that's what I mean by human qualities.
So if my dog was hurt I would empathise as a human. I'd place human qualities to that the dog so I could empathise. But this empathy wouldn't be there when I watch cows/sheeps in farms. It's as if my brain went on shut down mode.
It's there in everyone. I have had conversations with people who would slate the Koreans for eating dogs, while tucking into a burger. There was always a slight conflict in me saying how absurd that rational really is. But most people, to some degree, have this empathy and it does affect their dietary behaviour.
So I think sometimes people are quick to brand meat-eaters as ignorant, but you could be fighting a very powerful sub-concious tool. The positive however, is that a large amount of meat-eaters do share certain qualities with Vegans. If they have a dog, and don't eat it, then this trick of brain isn't formidable.
Same here! I recently had a FB discussion when I commented on a friends request asking to sign a petition to ask the Korean prime minister to forbid the slaughter of dogs for food in Korea.
Needless to say that I was called an idiot by fellow "animal rights activists" when I asked the question how they thought the German chancellor would react if a group of Koreans petitioned the ending of killing of pigs (but not cattle, chicken, fish, dogs etc.) in Germany, given that pigs are - according to some researchers - more intelligent than dogs.
It is ridiculous but I'm always slightly hesitant to point out the inconsistency in case they conclude that dog-eating must be OK after all A lot of people seem to appreciate that pigs are very intelligent and so on and still think it's OK to farm and eat them, so maybe it is the idea that dogs are our "friends" that's stopping them?
That reminds me that a meat-avoiding but still fish-eating friend of mine is getting a rescue goldfish so I'm wondering how long it will be before she decides against eating fish?
I think it reflects an inner conflict that many meat-eaters have, whether they are conscious of it or not. They need to regard the animals they eat differently in order to resolve the dissonance that comes from loving and respecting one animal and eating another, so a dog or cat is regarded as an individual but any food animal loses their 'personhood'. That, combined with many justifications for why it is necessary for them to eat meat, are necessary in order to protect their image of themselves as being a compassionate, ethical person.
any food animal loses their 'personhood'.
That is so true. When an animal is reduced to becoming a 'steak', a slice of bacon or a minced meat pie, it becomes a bunch of scattered pieces, and then people do not make the conscious connection that there used to be an animal there who was brutalised and killed in order to make this.
Well this is the power of the mind. Only now, 1 year or so of being a vegetarian, am I seeing cows as more than merely stupid animals for food. My mind still has a disconnect. This is why I try to avoid calling meat-eaters stubborn because the mechanisms that keep them eating meat are still very active inside my brain. So my concious mind has to over-ride my sub-concious. It's a constant battle. That's why I believe there must be an evolutionary mechanism that allows us to humanise certain animals because they are better off as 'helpers' while other animals are filed under food.
Once our brain learns that we don't need meat for survival then this mechanism wanes a bit from my experience. It doesn't hold such a strangle hold over a person's concious thoughts. But I clearly remember watching animals in slaughter houses thinking that's bad, but at the same time being totally comfortable with it. Very odd feeling looking back now.
I'd love to see some real scientific research done on this. If anyone has any research relating to this it would be awesome.
Mental compartmentalisation is quite important for survival in humans I think - if we spent all the time thinking about e.g. people starving in Africa then we wouldn't be able to feed ourselves (or donate money to aid charities...). But it's too bad if people do it with things that they could easily do something about, like eating animal products.
It's a shame they had to use a Climate Change as their example. It's not a certain science (latest CERN work is quite interesting and proving the instability of GW theory) so the results are skewed.
I'm not sure it actually matters whether the science of climate change is correct or not for the purposes of the study, as I think they were focusing on the dissonance between the participants' beliefs and their actions. You can read the full report free here http://www.gis.uni-greifswald.de/agn...-JaegerGEC.pdf (though I haven't yet).
This is why I try to avoid calling meat-eaters stubborn because the mechanisms that keep them eating meat are still very active inside my brain. So my concious mind has to over-ride my sub-concious. It's a constant battle. That's why I believe there must be an evolutionary mechanism that allows us to humanise certain animals because they are better off as 'helpers' while other animals are filed under food.
I see. Well, this sounds hopeful. Unfortunately, this also shows the extent to which meat-eaters are being brainwashed by cultures and old traditions.
It's not rocket science. We were given meat by our parents and learned from them what "food" is. In order not to view ourselves as monsters, when the topic arises, we disassociate. Those of us who consciously went vegan understand that we are not monsters and what we were taught as children wasn't our fault. Those who continue to eat meat simply have not understood this yet. All we can do is hope they do at some point, because most of them cannot be converted by speeches from us, due to this disassociation.

Portugal: Renewables supply 70% of power in Q1
Seventy percent of Portugal's power generation came from renewable energies, mainly hydroelectric power and wind energy, in Q1 2013, according to the country's grid operator, Redes Energéticas Nacionais (REN). Despite this record, photovoltaic energy still fails to have significant presence in the energy mix.
April 11, 2013 Vera von Kreutzbruck
A large-number of "unsubsidized" utility-scale solar power projects are currently under development in Portugal.
Image: Flickr/Ethem Pekin
The record presence of renewable energies in the country's energy mix was primarily due to good weather conditions.
Hydroelectric generation between January and March increased 312% compared to last year, supplying 37% of consumption, while wind energy generation increased 60% in the same period and supplied 27% of consumption.
Furthermore, generation by coal-fired and natural gas thermoelectric power stations fell 29% and 44% in the first quarter, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012.
No figures on photovoltaic generation during the first quarter were released, and REN could not be reached to obtain further details.
Low penetration
As reported in March, penetration of solar energy in the Portuguese market remains low, with photovoltaic projects covering only 0.7% of 2012 total energy demand. However, the Portuguese energy regulator Direcção Geral de Energia e Geologia (DGGE) reported an increase in solar energy generation last March. It reached 360 GWh in 2012, compared to 265 GWh in 2011.
Cumulative photovoltaic capacity in Portugal reached 225.5 MW at the end of 2012, according to DGGE . Of this, 99.8 MW was photovoltaic power installed via mini-generation (up to 3.68 kW) and micro-generation (up to 250 kW) schemes.
In 2012, the country added 67.8 MW of photovoltaic power – a 36% increase compared to 2011, when Portugal added 32.4 MW of new capacity.

When people find out that I've written a book, invariably the first question is, "Where did you get the idea for the story?" If I had a quick and easy answer like, "I checked www.BookIdeas.com," my phone calls with the family would be so much shorter! Anyway, the truth is a bit more complicated—much like my family's recipe for the perfect cup of chai.
After years of writing literary short stories, I thought I'd try my hand at a paranormal romance. Perfectly normal leap of logic, right? (I have Twilight to thank for that!) For whatever reason, I'd been thinking of how emotionally perceptive my mom was and that if there were such a thing as an EQ test (where the E stands for emotional intelligence), my mom would score through the roof. She just always had this uncanny ability to read my feelings. I'd never seen a story about empaths—people who could read emotions like psychics could read thoughts—but the idea grabbed on and wouldn't let go. And that, my friends, was the beginning. Soulmated is finally ready to be released, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I had fun writing it!
CHAPTER 1 – LIAMThey're calling this a test?
Not even a ping grazed my mind as the five Elders tried to slip past my mental blocks and into my emotions. A sheen of sweat over William's lip proved he wasn't faring as well. Of all the cousins now come of age, William and I were the last to be sitting before the Elders. I'd have felt guilty for his not doing so well had he ever shown an interest in leading the family. But, we all knew he'd rather have his head in a library. Now his heart was with his wife Colleen. He at least seemed to have a choice about his fate.
I sighed. Not so for me.
I snapped my eyes up to Elder Adebayo. He wore his trademark bow tie with a traditional fila atop his head. In the fraction of a second it took me to untangle the meaning from his heavy Nigerian accent, I'd blanked my expression and sat upright. The Elders sat along one side of an antique conference table, facing William and myself. The manor staff had rearranged the study to hold both the testing and signing-over ceremonies. Gone were the leather club chairs and stained glass lamps normally dotting the large space, giving it the air of a posh library. Now it seemed more an election-night headquarters, like the sort you saw on the telly, with bright lights and a gathering of family strewn about, waiting for the results. A photographer hung out in one corner, camera in hand. Not far from him stood a team of solicitors guarding rolling briefcases that were no doubt stuffed with legal documents for the victor to sign.
My throat-clearing echoed in the now silent room, and my cheeks warmed. "No, sir, not at all. Although, uh … I'd like to know when it is you'll begin with me." I pasted on an oh-so-innocent smirk and watched William shake his head and smother a grin. I shrugged at him, hoping to lighten the mood.
Four of the Elders cocked an eyebrow—all except for Elder Claire Brennan, our lone Irish representative. She leaned ever so slightly forward from where she sat at the center of the group.
So much for having a bit of craic.
The familiar knocking on my brain—like the distant sound of drums—told me someone had got past my first line of defenses with their probe. The rest of my mental blocks held up though. The corner of Brennan's lip stretched upward. Toying with me, was she? I leaned back with a matching smile and loosened my tie. Mum and I were the only ones in the family who'd mastered the skill of probing and manipulation. A handy skill that, especially when the burden of the entire clan's financial success might well be resting on my shoulders.
As if sensing the end of the ritual, Mum whispered to the house staff and pointed toward the main doors, directing them to begin preparations, most likely. She turned and nearly ran into a Mediterranean-looking man with a grotesque mole on his left cheek. He wasn't a relation or a solicitor, so I assumed he was a council minister. Their stances were stiff, and despite being too far for me to hear, I sensed Mum's replies seemed short and clipped. He moved around her, and on his way out, his eyes met mine. He lifted his lips in a smirk.
My attention darted to Mum. She was smoothing out the front of her dress, and her shoulders heaved a time or two before she turned back to face the room. I mentally sent her my curiosity, but she ignored me with a smile. She did at least send me her love before she weaved herself into the crowd.
Within a few minutes, Elder Brennan squared her shoulders and opened the portfolio in front of her. The rest of the Elders relaxed back in their seats and passed her folded slips of paper.
Jaysus Christ. Thank you. This bleedin' muck-up was about done.
After tallying the results, she stood with the help of a finely carved cane. Rumors about her age had always been entertaining—the last one I'd heard was that Claire Brennan was well over 140 years old. Apparently, documents as to her history had disappeared. Her regal manner and piercing blue eyes—the sort that'd make a gutless gobshite piss his pants—set her apart from the rest of the Elders. She now set those sights on me.
Brennan rattled on about allegiances and legal mandates, all of which bore down on me like the weight of history, dry and inescapable, yet … a bit liberating. Now we could stop our search and stay in Ireland—better of two evils and all that. I could make that happen now.
An explosion of clapping hands, and thumps on my back from a relieved-looking William, forced me to plaster a smile on my face.
Mum hurried over with open arms. "Darling! We're so happy for you." Da and my older brother Ciarán, a non-empath, followed, both decked out in a suit and tie. After her hug and kiss and Da's pat on my back, they congratulated William on his effort and made room for the Elders to come around with their well-wishing. Ciarán smirked and punched my shoulder. The strobe-light effect of the flashes had me squinting.
Elder Santiago from Spain shook my hand. He sported a thick mustache and proudly wore his Catalonian flag pin on his lapel. He'd been wooing our clan for support in Catalonia's bid for secession from Spain. Ciarán had thought it a good cause to be getting behind—especially if we beat another royal clan from doing so first. We had several holdings in Barcelona, after all. Now that it was my call to be making, a hasty decision didn't seem wise. Santiago always had the look about him of a tapas dish drowning in olive oil.
He wants to discuss this now?
I resisted rolling my eyes. Admitting I had my own doubts about Da's visions wouldn't be wise. "Time will tell, yeah?" No point kissing Elder arse.
The other Elders came one by one, congratulating me and posing for photos. Brennan was last. The crowd dispersed enough to give us a bubble of privacy. She tipped her head back and studied my face.
Without being able to read her blocked emotions, her body language was all I had to go on. A smile like before tugged at her lips.
I leaned in. "So were you toying with me earlier?" My bold question would either be living up to the liberties given to the heads of the four remaining Irish royal houses, or it'd be taken as the yipping of a whelp learning to growl. I hoped for the former and straightened up just in case.
Leading an Elder outside for a private conversation wasn't as nerve-racking as I'd thought. With her hand resting on my arm, she exuded an unexpected grandmotherly warmth. The stone patio ran the length of the building on this side of our manor home. It overlooked the meadows of our property—now mine—and with the cloudless days we'd had of late, the scent of heated earth surrounded us. I inhaled deeply. Definitely better here than returning to the States.
The few who lingered outside turned and meandered back to the study once they spotted us. Elder Brennan patted my arm, then released it, flattening her palms upon the balustrade, her ever-present white gloves in sharp contrast to the weathered stone.
"I'm thinking to stay here," I said.
A disapproving frown appeared, and she tapped a sole finger on the stone.
How the hell was this any of her bloody business? I forced my expression to remain neutral and unclenched the hands I'd not realized I'd fisted. If only Da had kept his mouth shut over the years.
I pocketed my hands. What was I meant to say? Yes, Zen Master Brennan.
A breeze picked up and coaxed a few strands of her silver hair across her cheek. She tilted her face into the wind and closed her eyes. "You should return to your search." She turned and pinned me with a stare.
She held up her hand. "The demesne will be in capable hands. Go now. Enjoy your celebration. Congratulations and happy eighteenth birthday." With a nod, she summoned two of her gendarmes, who came to her side and escorted her down the patio.
Mum must have been watching because she rushed outside. "What did she want?" Her concerned gaze scanned my face as if to get a read on my emotions, but as usual, I had them blocked.
Her mouth opened and closed.
An elderly couple came out onto the patio. With a huff, Mum crossed her arms and broadcast her emotions as clearly as any mother's scowl would convey. Waves of her irritation registered in my mind like seaweed washing in and wrapping around my toes. I moved a few steps away and leaned over the balustrade, resting my forearms on the sunbaked stone. A good fifty yards out, a hare popped up to scan its surroundings and then chased a second one into the shrubbery.
I stormed back into the study so the signing could begin, passing by several girls in long glittering dresses, tittering behind their fingers. No doubt my pain-in-the-arse brother had arranged for them to be here.
If the Elders knew about our search, so did the rest of the empath community. Speculation would be flowing like whiskey tonight, but it didn't change the fact we'd not be finding our target in Ireland.

Thanks for having me, Melissa!
I interviewed fellow Rock Canyon author, Elaine Vickers, about her whimsical middle grade debut, LIKE MAGIC. Elaine is just as sweet as her book.


This paper aims to assess the effects of foreign debt and foreign aid on economic growth in Somalia from 1970 to 2014. The ordinary least squares (OLS) method was used and basic model assumption tests were also employed. We used the Augmented Dickey−Fuller (ADF) and Philip-Perron (PP) tests for the unit root and the Johansen cointegration test to determine the long-run relationship between the variables. The results of the study show that, in Somalia, foreign debt has an insignificant effect on economic growth, while the foreign aid has positive significant effect on economic growth. The results also indicate that the cointegration method confirms the incidence of long-run association among the variables. There is little research regarding the exact relationship between increasing foreign debt and foreign aid on economic growth in Somalia. This study is also different from previous studies as we used ADF and PP tests for the unit root and the Johansen cointegration test for the long-run relationship between the variables. Additionally, the study used multivariate techniques. The paper concludes that foreign aid is essential in economic growth and several policy implications are proposed.
