U.S. and Taiwan Release Negotiating Mandate for 21st Century Trade Initiative
Trade Update • August 22, 2022
he United States and Taiwan have reached consensus on the negotiating mandate for the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade announced on June 1, 2022. The negotiating mandate recently announced sets out the broad objectives shared by the two sides for the upcoming trade negotiations, set to take place early this fall.
The United States and Taiwan have set a robust agenda for negotiations on trade facilitation, good regulatory practices, strong anti-corruption standards, enhancing trade between our small and medium enterprises, deepening agriculture trade, removing discriminatory barriers to trade, digital trade, robust labor and environmental standards, as well as ways to address distortive practices of state-owned enterprises and non-market policies and practices.
Trade Areas To Be Covered
Trade facilitation. The United States and Taiwan will seek to harness best practices with respect to facilitating trade, including through the adoption of provisions that address (1) enhanced publication and transparency requirements, (2) the reduction of border formalities, (3) digitalization of trade facilitation measures, (4) paperless trade and the submission of advance electronic data, (5) goods vulnerable to deterioration, (6) release of goods, returned goods and express shipments, (7) the protection of trader information and (8) customs cooperation.
Good regulatory practices. The United States and Taiwan will seek to reflect their shared values of good governance and respect for the rule of law in the adoption of provisions supporting sound, transparent regulatory practices, including: (1) timely online accessibility to information about regulations and regulatory processes; (2) adequate time and meaningful opportunities for public consultations and consideration of comments; and (3) ensuring that regulatory decisions are based on high quality information, science and evidence. With respect to services, the two sides will also seek to include provisions that build on the understanding reached in the WTO Joint Statement Initiative on Services Domestic Regulation.
Anticorruption. The United States and Taiwan will seek to adopt strong anticorruption standards to prevent and combat bribery and other forms of corruption, including provisions that (1) preclude the tax deductibility of bribes, (2) establish measures regarding the recovery of proceeds of corruption and (3) deny a safe haven for foreign public officials who engage in corruption.
SMEs. The United States and Taiwan will seek to support and enhance U.S.-Taiwan small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) trade through the adoption of provisions that involve (1) collaborating to identify and overcome barriers to trade for SMEs, (2) focusing on trade facilitation and information sharing for SMEs, (3) sharing and promoting best practices and (4) working together, under the auspices of AIT and TECRO, on activities to promote and support SMEs, including those owned by underrepresented groups and women entrepreneurs, and those in disadvantaged communities.
Agriculture. The United States and Taiwan will seek to adopt provisions to facilitate agricultural trade through science- and risk-based decision making and the adoption of sound, transparent regulatory practices. The two sides will also seek to adopt provisions to support collaborative and cooperative mechanisms on food security and on the use of production practices, including new and innovative technologies, that increase agricultural productivity while decreasing land, water and fuel use and help contribute to climate adaptation and resiliency.
Standards. The United States and Taiwan will seek to collaborate on standards. Discussions may include approaches toward the preparation, adoption and application of standards, technical regulations, conformity assessment processes and trade barriers.
Digital trade. The United States and Taiwan will seek to advance outcomes in digital trade that benefit workers, consumers and businesses, including SMEs, through the adoption of provisions that (1) build consumer trust in the digital economy, (2) promote access to information, (3) facilitate the use of digital technologies, (4) promote resilient and secure digital infrastructure, (5) address discriminatory practices in the digital economy and (6) promote cooperation on competition policy.
Labor. The United States and Taiwan will seek to adopt provisions that (1) support the protection of internationally recognized labor rights, including the elimination of forced labor, in global supply chains, (2) increase opportunities for worker voice and public engagement in implementing trade policy, (3) account for the role and responsibilities of the business community in helping to ensure the protection of workers' rights through a focus on corporate accountability and (4) reflect more durable and inclusive trade policies that demonstrate that trade can be a force for good by creating more opportunities for people and promoting gender equity and equality across the United States and Taiwan.
Environment. The United States and Taiwan will seek to deepen their cooperation and joint approaches on trade and the environment, including through the adoption of provisions that (1) promote green businesses, green jobs and the decarbonization of our respective economies, (2) take measures to strengthen and promote environmental protections, including natural resource conservation, and to tackle pressing environmental challenges, such as illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and illegal trade in wild fauna and flora, and (3) establish mechanisms for exchanging relevant information, as needed.
State-owned enterprises. The United States and Taiwan will seek to address the significant distortions that can occur to international trade and investment from the non-market practices of state-owned and state-controlled enterprises and government designated monopolies, including through the adoption of provisions designed to create a level playing field for workers and businesses when competing against these entities in the international marketplace, including by ensuring that these entities act in a commercial manner, are regulated impartially and do not provide or receive trade distorting non-commercial assistance.
Non-market policies and practices. The United States and Taiwan are market-oriented economies and understand the harm that can be caused by trade partners that deploy non-market policies and practices, which threaten livelihoods and can harm workers and businesses. The two sides will seek to adopt provisions that promote collaboration on ways to address these harmful non-market policies and practices.

The Chamber's History
In December 2015, two members of the Houston LGBT business community, Tammi Wallace and Gary Wood, began discussions with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) about launching an affiliate chamber in Houston. On February 24, 2016, the Greater Houston Chamber of Commerce officially launched. The launch event was held in conjunction with a "LGBT Business Builders" event sponsored by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Other collaborating partners for the event were Affinity Magazine, Houston Community College and OutSmart Magazine.
As Chamber Co-Founders, Tammi and Gary were instrumental in creating the vision for the new Chamber and recruiting key Steering Committee members to support the ramp up of operations. The Steering Committee played an integral role in operationalizing the Chamber.
The original members of the 2016 Chamber Steering Committee were Roy Alvarez, Jr., Jon Marrs, Jonathan Netek, Tammi Wallace (Steering Committee Co-Chair) and Gary Wood (Steering Committee Co-Chair). Each of these individuals believed strongly that the Chamber could have a remarkable impact for the LGBT business community and its allies. They each dedicated considerable investment of time and energy in the organization's inaugural year, thus laying a strong foundation for the Chamber. Today, these individuals are recognized as part of the Chamber's Founding Leadership Council (FLC).
The Chamber Steering Committee collaborated with the North Texas LGBT Chamber of Commerce in order to launch the organization as quickly as possible. Through the tremendous support of Tony Vedda, CEO of the North Texas Chamber, the Houston Chamber was up and running within a very short period of time. The Houston Chamber owes a debt of gratitude to Tony and the North Texas Chamber Board for their leadership, support and friendship. As a result of the strong relationship developed during the initial launch year, the Houston Chamber continues to collaborate with North Texas as well as our sister chambers across the state on various initiatives including statewide advocacy/policy initiatives and sharing of best practices.
In a short time, the Chamber has grown tremendously to more than 150 member businesses. The organization provides major programming, member resources and other opportunities. It's an exciting time to be part of the new Greater Houston LGBT Chamber. Join the Chamber and help us continue to make history!
As of April 2019
The Greater Houston LGBT Chamber launched in February 2016 under the leadership of the Chamber Steering Committee. We appreciate the leadership and tireless dedication of each member of the Steering Committee and the support for the vision, mission and work to lay a strong foundation for the Chamber.
In recognition of the tremendous contributions from this group, each person is recognized as part of the Chamber's Founding Leadership Council (FLC). The FLC serves as a source of expertise and institutional knowledge that is crucial to the long-term success of the Chamber. Many members on the FLC continue to serve in various capacities within the Chamber.

Sarah Dailey
The champion for literacy brings book lending to her hometown of Otisfield.
By Jon BolducSun Journal
Sarah Dailey is the teen services coordinator at the Norway Public Library. She also built a Little Free Library outside the Otisfield Community Center. Ben McCanna/Staff Photographer
Sarah Dailey grew up in a book desert.
Her hometown of Otisfield doesn't have a public library, but after school, she frequently toured the libraries closest to her – in Norway, Paris and Casco – and a lifelong love of libraries was born.
"They're one of those last few public places in a town where people can just go and hang out … all day if they want. They can be looking at books, or they don't have to be," said Dailey, 45, now the teen services coordinator at the Norway Public Library.
Last year, with the town's blessing, Dailey built a Little Free Library outside the Otisfield Community Center, where families and avid readers can borrow a book, with 24/7 access, which she said is critical to fostering literacy in children.
"The more books that are in your home growing up, the more of a reader you're going to be," said Dailey.
Dailey keeps a guestbook at the miniature library. Many write notes indicating how important the project is to the local community.
"Reading is a doorway that leads to many different worlds. Adore the mini-library," B. Hall wrote.
"What a wonderful addition to the community," wrote Wendy Bernier.
Previously, Dailey worked as an educator at Sexual Assault Prevention & Response Services in Auburn, where she found that teens really opened up to her. When Cynthia Riley, the library's former Teen Services Coordinator passed away last year, the teen room sat dormant for a while.
"The teens who come here adored her … They really miss her, but I'm glad they're still coming. I encourage them to tell me what they did with her," she said.
Dailey is also the chair of the Elder Abuse Task Force, where she works with a core group of firefighters, police, caregivers and local public officials to make sure elders in Oxford Hills don't fall through the cracks.
In addition to working with police when cases of abuse were reported, Dailey also took on projects to improve the safety of the community. One was coordinating with local fire departments to make sure all homes are well-marked with material that can be seen at night and numbered, so first responders can find them in an emergency.
"So many are not labeled or are not labeled well. It was really a good project for us to focus on," she said.
Dailey also serves on the Western Foothill Land Trust. And, she helped to bring contradance to the Otisfield Town Hall.
"Sarah has a low-key, quiet personality but works tirelessly to affect change. I think she steps up to the plate whenever needed," said Anne Sheehan, who has served with Dailey on the Elder Abuse Task Force and the 911 addressing committee.

Somewhere around 1975 AHM (Associated Hobby Manufacturors) released 8 and maybe even 10 HO size plastic kits in conjunction with CROWN. They were packed in two part boxes. The quality and also size of the kits varried, some are even closer to 1/76, like the M 40 155mm SP. The mouldings from the Japanese company CROWN are very toy-like. Some kits have accessories such as an AT gun or tank barricades.
In good Japanese tradition the kits are confusingly numbered in "series" numbers and "K" numbers of which only the latter makes sense. The attached pictures will show the series K-501 to K-508. The kits are not found in any AHM catalogue known to me.
In my research I found that AHM released 8 HO size plastic kits in conjunction with two Japanese companies, namely Crown and Ikko.
Series number 3, 6, 9 and 12 were originally released by Crown in Japan, and series number 1, 4, 7 and 10 were released by Ikko ("Ikko Mokei" or "IM"). These original issues were released in 1974. Series number 2, 5, 8 and 11 were planned to be released by another company, but never released. The name of third company is not clear, but it may be Mitsuwa since Ikko, Mitsuwa and Crown (IMC) jointly released 1/144 scale aircraft models at the time. Series number 13 and 15 were not released either.
These models are similar to Roco Minitanks in shape and size, but tracks are separated from road wheels and molded in belt shape. Talking about size, the model of M40 is about the same size as a 1/76 scale Sherman, but remember that the hull of M40 was expanded both in length and width from Sherman. The M40 model is actually around 1/87 scale, though the Sherman model seems to be smaller than the Roco 1/87 scale models.
K-numbers were given by AHM. Original issues had different kit numbers. Packages of original issues are almost identical to AHM issues except for the company logo and kit number.
AHM K-numbers, series numbers, name of original manufacturer and original kit numbers are as follows.
The list of models is as follows.
Ikko Mokei was one of the early Japanese plastic model manufacturer, starting in 1962 and continued until the late 1970s. Ikko Mokei released some rubber-powered miniscale tank models between 1963 and 1965). These models were not accurate and in only approximate H0-scale.
Ikko Mokei also released two "clear tank" models in 1964. These kits were molded in transparent plastic with interior parts.


Music has always played a big role for recording artist and songwriter, Dan Brooks. In his recently released album, Curtain Call, Dan sings of his Christian faith and writes about experiences of friends and family. Dan has played the guitar literally all of his life and was a budding performer and impressionist by the age of 17.
Starting out in his early music career by singing in lounges and restaurants at the age of 18, Dan's individual style began to develop. He eventually wrote many of his own songs and performed them primarily at banquets, schools, youth camps, churches and coffee houses around the Southern California area. In 1975 he started a band called "Changing Heart" to accompany his original sound, adding a lead guitarist and a bass player.
Eventually, Dan attended California State University, Long Beach, where he completed his BA in 1980. He became a professional educator, starting as a teacher in Long Beach, California. Dan married Karrie in 1981, a decision he calls "the smartest thing I ever did!" Dan added an MA degree from CSULB in 1986. Later, he became a public school principal in the Riverside County area of Southern California. As a married father of three grown sons, Dan's music remained a key part of his life. In 2003, Dan earned his Doctor of Education degree at La Sierra University, in Riverside, California and subsequently he was named the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources in a Riverside County public school district.
In 2006, at the age of 51, Dan was diagnosed with a Parkinson's Plus disorder, forcing him to retire from his 30-year career in public schools. He now sings and records songs to encourage other patients and their families fighting the same debilitating disease. He has released two CD's, "A Long Time Comin'" (1995) and "I Will Go On" (2006). His third album, "Curtain Call," will be available in the next month. He has written a book called, I Will Go On: Living with a Movement Disorder, in which he outlines the major Parkinson's Plus disorders and idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. In this book Dan shares his own experiences as he faced the challenges and loses that result from a serious neuro-degenerative disease.
Curtain Call was released in November of 2009. This album includes 12 original tracks expressing his love for God and the people in his life. Dan is proud of the participation of two of his sons on the project. Stephen took the photographs for the CD booklet and drew a portrait of Dan to be placed on the front. Mark produced the album, played drums and other instruments, as well as singing harmony vocals throughout. Mark also designed and created the graphic arts layout for the entire visual presentation of the album.
This album is Dan's finest musical achievement and represents two years of writing and recording. Country rock, folk and mellow ballads are contrasted as the album carries you on a journey of faith and life experiences. Dan's love of family and interest in encouraging others is evident throughout.
Through faith and a positive forward direction, Dan plans to keep going on for years to come.
"My musical influences are: Elvis, Bee Gees, Neil Diamond, Bread, Buddy Holly, Beatles, Chuck Girard, Randy Stonehill, Andre Crouch, Jackson Browne, Love Song, The Way, Glenn Campbell, Paul Clark, Larry Norman, and my Dad: Ron "RC" Brooks. I call my father, Ron "RC" Brooks, the "Original Guitar Player," because he started playing the guitar seriously at the age of nine, in the year 1938. I grew up watching his blazing fast fingers while I was playing rhythm accompaniment. Watching his leads and figuring out the chords as I watched, I gained the ability to write songs. Dad taught me the basics of music chord progressions, such as Tonic, Dominant and Sub-dominant.
In my first band (1966-67) we played covers by the Monkeys, the Stones, the Ventures and the Animals. From there, I fell in love with the Bee Gees' songs "I Started a Joke" and "Massachusetts," and these British-rock tunes became the basis for my developing style.
My Mother, Marguerite, gave me my first LP at the age of 15 and it was Neil Diamond's "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show," and I took six or eight songs from that album to create my earliest material for concert sets that I played in high school. Bread, Lobo and John Denver landed on my set lists frequently, as well. Elvis impressions became my foot in the door for a lot of my early jobs, but I was never an Elvis album collector. I enjoyed the older, ballad-oriented Elvis the most and learned songs like "The Wonder of You" and "Suspicious Minds" to add to my repertoire. For impressions, I did the standards, "Blue Suede Shoes," "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Love me Tender."
In the mid-seventies, after strengthening my finger-picking guitar style, I developed an interest in the music of Jackson Browne. Jackson Browne is the best lyricist I have ever read/heard in the music industry. Christian Music swept me from my goal to be an entertainer in the mid-seventies and I began to write and sing in ministry for churches and church camps from that time on. I was influenced heavily by all of the artists/bands of the Jesus Movement, some of which were based at Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, while others associated with the Church on the Way, and still others originated in other states and different venues. Love Song, The Way, Erick Nelson, Keith Green, Andre Crouch, Barry McGuire, Second Chapter of Acts, Kelly Willard and Bob Bennett stand out in that group, while Larry Norman, Paul Clark, Randy Stonehill and Chuck Girard are influences that I will always see as above and beyond all others, as spiritual as well as musical influences."

Santa Klas is in trouble! The ACM (Aerodynamic Christmas Machines) has called you in to be their subject matter expert for the current situation.
Santa Klas recently got himself a new bunch of reindeers, that would boost his speed even more while travelling across the sky. The reindeers even came with an autopilot, so Santa Klas calmly took off into the sky, adjusted his heading, activated his autopilot and fell asleep.
Santa Klas has been playing too much flight simulator computer games lately, and he is certain that when the autopilot is activated, the ship he is flying in will hold altitude and course. This is not the case. The autopilot on his new reindeers only guarantee that the heading is the same, and the vertical angle is kept the same. This means that if Santa Klas' ship is currently heading for the ground, he will crash if he doesn't wake up soon enough! If the ship isn't pointing to the ground, Santa Klas will exit the atmosphere. But that's fine, he's done that before.
The ACM has given you Santa Klas' angle between his course and the ground and altitude in meters. Help them determine how much time they have to wake him up, or if Santa Klas will exit the atmosphere. Santa Klas always flies with a speed of one meter per second (yeah, it takes him a while to round the earth).
The only line of input contains two integers $1 \le H \le 10\, 000 , 0 \le v \le 359$, Santa Klas' current altitude and his current angle in degrees from the horizon, i.e. if $v = 0$ then Santa Klas is flying with constant altitude (since the earth is flat), and is therefore safe. If $v = 90$, then Santa Klas is heading straight for the stars.
Output should consist of one single integer: the number of whole seconds that the ACM have to safely wake Santa Klas up, so that he can adjust his course. You may assume that Santa Klas is infinitely fast at adjusting it after waking up, as the flight simulator professional he is. If Santa Klas is not heading for the ground, just print the word "safe" on a single line instead.

Qualcomm reports a 40% slump in profit for Q3 as legal battle with Apple takes its toll
Stergios Georgopoulos Neowin · Jul 20, 2017 10:14 EDT with 1 comment
Qualcomm, whose chipsets are found in most smartphones and mobile devices, has reported its third quarter financial results, which revealed a 40 percent slump in quarterly profit. The company took a big hit from its ongoing legal dispute with Apple and four of Apple's contractors, which accuse Qualcomm of overcharging for its chips and violating antitrust laws, and have stopped paying royalties.
Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf said in the earnings statement:
"We believe that we hold the high ground with regard to the dispute with Apple, and we have initiated new actions to protect the well-established value of our technologies."
The company reported profits of $866 million, or 58 cents per share, for the third quarter that ended on June 25, a big decline compared to a net income of $1.44 billion, or 97 cents per share, during the same quarter last year. Revenue fell 11.1 percent to $5.4 billion.
Qualcomm's profits were also affected by a $927 million fine the company had to pay to the Korea Free Trade Commission, and a $940 million payment it made to Blackberry after the two companies reached a settlement on a royalty dispute.
As for the current quarter, Qualcomm forecasts earnings per share between 55 and 65 cents, with revenue falling to between $5.4 billion and $6.2 billion, a six percent decrease at the midpoint, compared to the same period last year. The company's stock slipped 3 percent following its earnings statement.

Carbonear Collegiate student takes on a cleaning challenge
Andrew Robinson (editor@cbncompass.ca)
This is the area Alishia Mahaney cleaned up behind a shed at Carbonear Collegiate on Tuesday, May 21. - Contributed
Alishia Mahaney's efforts to tidy up a popular lunch-hour hangout spot attracted a lot of attention
CARBONEAR, N.L. —
A Carbonear Collegiate student is turning a lot of heads for taking the initiative to clean up a popular lunch-hour hangout spot outside the school. And she's hoping others will do their part to make sure it doesn't get this messy again.
As is common this time of year when snow disappears, Alishia Mahaney of Harbour Grace, had noticed a lot of garbage while out for drives lately. She started collecting some of it in her home community. Then she decided to swing by her school, figuring there would be more in the parking lot.
Mahaney was blown away by what she saw – particularly when she took a peek into the area behind the shed. It's a sheltered area among trees, and slopes down to a nearby stream.
"That was the first time I've ever been there, and there was just so much mess," Mahaney told The Compass, indicating the piles of takeout food litter and cigarette packaging. She filled 11 kitchen-sized garbage bags from that area alone on May 21 and 14 altogether including other areas around the school. Elsewhere, she had filled six bags in two hours before heading to the school.
"I got the big things out of the way," the 17-year-old said. "There's still lots of cigarette butts, the packages and wrappers."
She shared images of what she'd seen and collected on social media, and received lots of attention from people in the Conception Bay North area.
"I just wanted to get it out there, so those that are maybe willing to clean it up might come by," she said. "I am blown away by the amount of reaction it's gotten."
Alishia Mahaney filled a lot of bags with garbage outside Carbonear Collegiate May 21.
School principal Rodney Hodder was quick to commend the Grade 11 student for her good work. He noted Carbonear Collegiate does hold an annual spring clean-up session, but it hadn't been scheduled yet.
"I found out through other staff members," Hodder told The Compass. He subsequently reached out to her for a chat and after hearing more about what she did, Hodder commended her in private and publicly through the public address system at the school.
"If we had more students who would take initiative around our environmental issues, it would make this world a better place," he said. "It's part of a culture in our school of trying to build up a culture of kindness and caring and environmental awareness. This is something that we strongly encourage."
In the announcement to the rest of the school, Hodder told students that in light of what Mahaney did, everyone should take time to consider how they can make the world a little better.
Her name even came up during the most recent Carbonear council meeting, mentioned by Coun. Danielle Doyle during a discussion about litter in the town.
"You can certainly notice the difference on the properties," said Doyle, who is also a teacher at the school. "If everyone went out and picked up two or three (bags) around the house and streets, it would certainly make a big difference now that the snow is all gone, too."
Hodder believes reinforcing the positive actions of people like Mahaney can help other students change their behaviour and recognize where they might fall short in dealing with litter around the school.
"There are garbage cans out around the building, and we obviously encourage students to use them," he said. "But there are times when I'll go out on supervision duty and right next to the garbage can, you'll see a box of Mary Brown's and a can, and it makes you wonder why it happened."
Mahaney hopes fellow students will feel more encouraged to use the garbage bins placed outside the school, going forward.
"You're not going to get everyone that's going to use it, but if you get people who just go down there and clean up every so often, then it's not going to be too bad."

JASON McALISTER

Sparkle and glow with these trendy items
THE FACE OF GLOBAL BRANDS
BY CHRISTINE MONTANTI
Growing up in a small southern town in Georgia, Jason McAlister never even flew on an airplane prior to the launch of his international modeling career which exploded at the age of 24. The 6 foot 2 blue eyed model came from humble beginnings in the sleepy city of Stone Mountain, when he was discovered by an AMTC modeling scout. It was undoubtedly in the cards for McAlister to have a lifelong career working in front of the camera; at the age of 9 he was a celebrated soccer player and was featured in Sports Illustrated Magazine for his skilled athleticism. Shortly after, the star athlete was offered a position to play for an international soccer league but declined honoring his parents' wishes. A decade later, McAlister was presented with yet another global opportunity: a modeling contract to work overseas in Asia. This time without hesitation, the former athlete eagerly accepted the incredible employment offer. McAlister's striking features along with his natural ability to communicate through the lens of a camera, has proven to be his most powerful asset, capturing the likes of countless global brands and clients. Currently, McAlister continues to redefine his craft on runways, in print, and on international television commercials; in his very first exclusive interview, the model gets candid about his career and the industry for which he is so passionate.
For over two decades, Jason McAlister's image has represented numerous advertising campaigns: American Express, Coca-Cola, HUGO BOSS, Wrangler, and Camel, just to name a few. He has also starred in dozens of international commercials including Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, DANNON, KORBEL and Shell and has been featured on the covers of Men's Health and GQ Magazine as well as inside the pages of Maxim Magazine.
The Georgiaborn model was brought up in a strict Irish Catholic, Southern Baptist household, and he experienced tragedy early in his life when his father passed away when he was 10. His mother worked full time and supported her three children, while his grandmother cultivated vegetable crops on the farm and prepared organic farm to table meals for the family. The All American boy, and his two siblings, (a younger sister and older brother), essentially lived off the land, and McAlister would often help his grandmother by fishing for food on the lake. "We fished for lunch, picked the lima beans and made our own wine, we did everything," McAlister admits.
As a young boy, McAlister had an innate athletic ability, and at the age of four, he started playing soccer. He was pursued by international scouts attempting to get him to play on a worldwide soccer team, but his family declined the offer. After being featured in Sports Illustrated and completing elementary school, McAlister, along with his siblings, was bussed 50 miles to attend catholic school as part of the family tradition. McAlister's passion for playing sports was apparent, and his strong desire to follow in his father's footsteps (a former football player and coach) prompted him to leave catholic school and transfer to a public school enabling him to play on the football team with his close friends.
The star athlete first got interested in the idea of modeling after high school while he was dating his on again off again girlfriend who was modeling in New York, Italy and Spain. When she returned home to Georgia from overseas, she convinced McAlister that by cutting his hair, he could travel the world and model as well. McAlister recalls, "I asked her what does that mean, travel the world and model?" and she said, "Make money and see the world." I said, "Oh yeah, I will cut my hair for that.
"Sign me up!" McAlister's girlfriend arranged for a photoshoot with a prominent New York photographer who was in Georgia to shoot new models, and soon after, he was discovered by an AMTC modeling scout.
McAlister accepted his first modeling contract to work overseas in Asia at the age of 24 and describes what it was like leaving his historic hometown of Stone Mountain. "It was difficult. I had never flown on an airplane before, and I had to fly over 20 hours to the destination. When I finally arrived in Southeast Asia, I was picked up by a man at the airport who had my name on a piece of paper, and he didn't speak any English. We drove for hours to the city, and I saw all these neon lights everywhere. When we finally arrived at my destination it didn't look anything like the Sheraton Hotel brochure I had been given. The driver told me to get out of the car, and I looked around and I didn't see a Sheraton Hotel anywhere. I was in a different country, and I didn't know anybody. I initially wouldn't get out of the car and locked the door because I heard stories about people not making it to their destinations there, and it didn't look like he was trying to take me to where I had to go." Initially scary, that was the trip that launched his very successful modeling career and travels around the world.
After leaving Asia, the ambitious model began accepting contracts to work in various countries around the globe. His career skyrocketed when he began working for clients in Italy such as Gianfranco Ferre, FILA Underwear, and Ermengildo Zegna. McAlister admits, "I really loved Italy and spent most of my time there. It's the fashion capital of the world. I was told early on that I had to go to Milan just to become a model. So, in my mind, I had to go live there. The Italians were so loving, such great people and the food was so delicious; I just loved it. I kept going back and forth there because the Italians are so professional and business like. They treated me like a king in a way. They would go overboard for you when you work for them — they are like family."
When asked what his favorite exotic location to travel to is, he confesses, "Wow, that's difficult! I traveled to 47 different countries and 450 different cities from the Swiss Alps to the Italian Alps, and from Sardinia to Sicily in Italy. Greece was my favorite time of my life because not only was I working a lot, but also, it was the way the Greeks live life. They don't start working until late morning and they work through the evening. Then after work they celebrate and go out and have fun. Just the experience . . . the culture, the food and architecture, it was surreal."
As for the actor's favorite productions to work on he reveals, "I shot a worldwide TV commercial for the Hard Rock Casinos which took place in different countries. They had just built all new high rises in Panama, Central America, South America and Florida, and it took two and a half months to film. Myself and a film crew of about 20 people, jumped from Island to Island shooting on different locations."
Currently, the smalltown Georgia native is working with full range agencies that cast for acting, television, movies, catalog and modeling work in Miami Beach, New York and Los Angeles. He is also affiliated with Wilhelmina in Miami, New York, Chicago and LA and is presently working with 15 agencies worldwide. Although the bulk of McAlister's career has consisted of a tremendous amount of modeling work, he actually prefers acting. "I am focused on acting; trying to break out into TV and possibly some feature films. Acting is something that I love and comes from within. I like doing character work and reading . . . turning into different people. That's interesting to me." The former athlete confesses that traveling the world and being afforded the opportunity to experience different cultures has been the most rewarding thing he's ever done. "It opened up my mind and made me grow as a person." When asked what his dream job is, McAlister looks at me smiling and responds, "Oh, I am living my dream job!"

These Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are covered with a bottom layer of almond flour crust, a middle cheesecake layer and a top layer of pumpkin. Low carb, keto friendly, and gluten-free.
These dessert bars represent the best of both worlds – a pumpkin pie and a cheesecake, so you can get both flavors with just one bite. They are perfect for people who like the pumpkin flavor a bit too strong, because the layer of cheesecake helps to balance the pumpkin. The bars have a dense texture with a firm almond flour crust at the bottom, a layer of thick and rich cheese cake and a lighter pumpkin layer at the top.
Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
Transfer about half of the mixture over the crust, spreading it out evenly — this becomes the cheesecake layer.

Les élections en Angola se déroulent dans le cadre d'une démocratie à plusieurs partis politiques et d'un régime présidentiel. Les membres de l'Assemblée nationale sont directement élus par les électeurs selon un mode de scrutin mixte, tandis que le leader du plus grand parti ou de la plus grande coalition de l'Assemblée nationale devient automatiquement président de la République.

Historique
Bien que l'Angola ait envoyé des représentants au parlement portugais au début du  siècle, ce n'est que dans les années 1920 que les autorités portugaises ont consenti à la création d'un corps législatif sur le territoire angolais. En 1922, un Conseil législatif est établi, élu par les . Cependant, ce Conseil est supprimé à la suite du Coup d'État du 28 mai 1926 au Portugal.

En 1955, un nouveau Conseil législatif est créé, bien que seuls ceux officiellement définis comme  aient le droit de voter. Le droit de vote est alors limité aux colons européens, à la plupart des mulâtres et à un petit nombre d'Africains européanisés (les Assimilados). En mai 1972, le parlement portugais adopte la Loi organique sur les territoires d'outre-mer qui prévoit une plus grande autonomie pour les territoires d'outre-mer. Cette loi a pour conséquence de créer une Assemblée législative de 53 membres pour l'Angola, dont 32 seraient élus et le reste nommé par les services publics, les groupes religieux et les groupes d'affaires. Des élections ont lieu en  mais en raison de restrictions, seulement  personnes se sont inscrites pour voter sur une population totale de  individus. Environ 86 % des personnes enregistrées ont voté et les membres élus comprenaient 29 Européens pour 24 Africains.

Après l'indépendance en 1975, le déclenchement de la guerre civile angolaise a retardé les premières élections post-indépendance du pays jusqu'en 1980. À ce moment-là, le Mouvement populaire de libération de l'Angola (MPLA) créé un État à parti unique. Il organise des  au cours desquelles les électeurs élisent des candidats soigneusement sélectionnés qui à leur tour élisent les membres de l'Assemblée nationale. Les élections suivantes devaient avoir lieu en 1983 mais elles ont été retardées jusqu'en  en raison de la guerre.

Les accords de Bicesse mettent fin à la guerre civile en 1991 et ont pour conséquence l'introduction d'une démocratie à plusieurs partis politiques. Des élections législatives ont eu lieu en , le président étant élu par les citoyens pour la première fois. Le MPLA remporte 129 des 220 sièges de l'Assemblée nationale tandis que l'Union nationale pour l'indépendance totale de l'Angola (UNITA) devient la principale force d'opposition avec 70 sièges. José Eduardo dos Santos du MPLA et Jonas Savimbi de l'UNITA reçoivent le plus de voix au premier tour des élections mais Savimbi affirme que les élections sont truquées, bien que les observateurs des Nations unies affirment qu'elles ont été libres et équitables. Savimbi refuse de participer au second tour l'opposant au candidat du MPLA et relance la guerre civile.

La guerre civile prend fin en 2002, après la mort de Savimbi. Cependant, la tenue d'élections est retardée jusqu'en 2008. Le MPLA reçoit alors plus de 80 % des voix, remportant 191 des 220 sièges à l'Assemblée nationale. Des élections présidentielles étaient prévues pour 2009 mais une nouvelle constitution promulguée en 2010 a mis au rebut les élections directes à la présidence, le chef du plus grand parti de l'Assemblée nationale devenant automatiquement président. Les élections de 2012 voient une nouvelle victoire écrasante du MPLA, bien que sa part de voix ait été réduite à 72% et qu'il ait perdu 16 sièges.

Système actuel
Est électeur chaque citoyen angolais d'au moins 18 ans. Un individu peut perdre son droit de vote s'il a une double nationalité, une condamnation pour un crime ou encore s'il est déclaré aliéné. Les candidats doivent être âgés d'au moins 35 ans et avoir la nationalité angolaise. Certaines personnes ne sont pas éligibles, notamment les représentants de la justice, les membres des forces armées ou encore les présidents des conseils d'administration d'entreprises publiques.

Présidence de la République
La constitution de 1992 prévoyait l'élection directe du président. Cependant, ce système est aboli par la constitution de 2010. L'article 109 de celle-ci stipule que .

Assemblée nationale
Le système électoral de l'Assemblée nationale est basé sur la loi électorale du . Les 220 membres sont élus de deux façons différentes, selon un mode de scrutin mixte. 90 sont élus dans 18 circonscriptions électorales de cinq sièges chacune et 130 sont élus dans une seule circonscription nationale. Les deux types de circonscriptions utilisent un système proportionnel plurinomal à liste bloquée : la  méthode D'Hondt dans les circonscriptions provinciales et la  dans la circonscription nationale.
