Some of the most common adoptions in New Jersey are those between stepparents and stepchildren and between grandparents and grandchildren. In these cases, the adoption usually gives legal standing to a parent-child relationship that already exists.
When grandparents or stepparents want to be recognized as the legal parent of a family member, they petition for a kinship or stepparent adoption. If you wish to adopt a family member, you can streamline this process by speaking with a qualified lawyer.
Sharon E. Johnson is the principal family law practitioner at Johnson & Johnson, Attorneys At Law. Since 1998, she has helped thousands of Morris County families resolve intricate legal matters involving children. She is the staunch advocate you want by your side throughout the adoption process.
Sharon E. Johnson has vast experience representing clients in hearings in area courts. She draws on her litigation background and knowledge of court procedures when a biological parent does not voluntarily give up his or her parenting rights.
Adopting a family member takes persistence and know-how. For more than two decades, we have consistently demonstrated these attributes in our work and words. You should expect nothing less of your legal team when you are working to enhance your family's future.
We are eager to help and ready to take the first steps toward filing your petition. Reach our Florham Park firm online or over the phone at 973-937-8959.

Climb El Capitan With Alex Honnold, Lynn Hill, and Tommy Caldwell
Last Updated On: September 18, 2018
El Capitan.
The granite wall born in fire and forged in flames. Forming nearly 220 million years ago when North America slammed into another tectonic plate underneath the Pacific Ocean. The grinding collision forced the Pacific plate underneath California and sparked a pressure cooker, that over millennia, birthed the greatest climbing face on the planet.
One of the most photographed rock faces in the world, El Capitan towers 3000 feet above Yosemite National Park. A mecca for climbers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts from every corner of the globe.
In the summer of 1957, Warren Harding began unlocking the first pieces of the puzzle that is El Capitan. Taking him, and a small team 45 days spread out over a year and a half to complete. Setting anchor points along the way while working out a feasible route that would become known as…
Now you can climb El Cap with Google Maps first vertical street view.
This video from Google Maps with climbing legends Alex Honnald, Lynn Hill, and Tommy Caldwell gives us a small glimpse of the challenges that El Capitan has to offer.
Lynn Hill, the first person with a free ascent on the nose of El Capitan in 1993. An unthinkable climb at the time, a truly superhuman feat.
Alex Honnold, free soloed Freerider, a route that was previously thought impossible to even attempt and did it in under 3 hours on June 3, 2017.
Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgesen completed the first ascent of the Dawn Wall on January 14, 2015, after remaining on the wall for 19 days. The dawn wall is an enormous swath of flat granite, the most challenging climb on the planet.
If this is what these amazing individuals are accomplishing now, we can't wait to see what the next generation of climbers brings. They are all inspirations in their own right, proving that what seems impossible can become possible.

ESFJ (Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, Judgment, tj. převažující Extroverze, Smyslové vnímání, Cítění a Usuzování) je jeden z šestnácti osobnostních typů podle MBTI, který je česky popisován jako Extrovertní smyslový typ usuzující s převahou cítění (Pečovatel/ka, Poskytovatel/ka tradicionalista, Pediatr).

Stručný popis
Člověk s osobností typu ESFJ miluje lidi a společnost, bývá pořádkumilovný, altruistický, nemá zájem o teorii, nemá problém přizpůsobit se většině, vyhýbá se kontroverzi, podporuje a pečuje.

Charakteristika
Hlavním zájmem ESFJ je vytvořit harmonickou společnost, kde se všichni budou cítit příjemně. Jsou pořádkumilovní a vždy připravení pomoct. Rádi se před rozhodnutím radí se svými nejbližšími.

Nemají rádi extravagantnost a nečekané jednání. Nezpochybňují autority. Rádi si zachovávají určitou míru kontroly nad prostředím, ve kterém žijí. Cítí se dobře v situacích, kdy všichni otevřeně vyjadřují svoje city. Rádi až nadšeně se zapojují do konverzace, obzvláště, mluví-li se o vlastních zážitcích.

Minulost i budoucnost vnímají, jako by se blížily přítomnému okamžiku, což je dobře patrné právě na stylu, jakým vyprávějí. Obdivují ty, kteří jsou dobří v plánování a logickém rozebírání reálné situace. Chtějí totiž, aby jejich vlastní akce dávaly smysl, ale obvykle činí emocemi ovlivněná rozhodnutí.

Mají v oblibě dobré jídlo a pohodlí domova. Jako ideální kariéra se pro ně hodí místa, kde přicházejí do styku s lidmi, a mohou tak využít svoji schopnost domluvit se skoro s každým. Častou volbou jsou pro ně kariéry ve zdravotnictví, human resources, public relations. Velmi kvalitní práci ale umí odvést i jako starostliví ochránci domácnosti. Kariéra pro ně není nikdy na prvním místě.

The Outlook on Vitiligo
Self-Esteem and Vitiligo: It's Possible to Have Both
Medically Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD on March 15, 2022
By Alisha Archibald, as told to Kendall Morgan
I first realized that I had vitiligo in 2014. I was getting ready for work -- about to rush out the door -- and, while combing my hair, I saw a small white spot at my hairline. It was on my forehead, about the size of a dime. I thought, "I don't think I burned myself with the curling iron." I brushed at it, and it didn't go away. Immediately, I knew what it was because my grandmother had vitiligo. She's been gone for 10 years, but my thoughts went right to her.
At first, I didn't do anything about it. I was afraid to tackle it. I was in denial, perhaps, and thought maybe it would just stay as that one spot. But within a couple of months, I started to notice other spots. I began inspecting my body all over. I thought about my grandmother and how she had hidden herself. Back then, people didn't know what vitiligo was. They would stare. They hadn't seen models with vitiligo before like we have now.
It took me a couple of years before I finally went to the doctor. By that time, the spots had spread. I was wearing more makeup to try and cover them. Some of my relatives started asking why I hadn't gone to the doctor. They'd heard about ways that maybe it could be reversed or slowed. The vitiligo was spreading over my face. I decided it was worth a try to see a doctor and find out what might be done.
The doctor was helpful. She explained that there wasn't a cure, but there were treatments that might slow it down. There had been cases where people got some pigment back. I listened and decided to try it. She gave me two topical creams and I also got once-a-month injections, including a steroid. Within a month, I thought that I started to see where my skin had a little color coming back. I later learned that it wasn't a good idea to stay on steroids long term; there can be side effects, so I stopped after about 5 months.
Going to the doctor helped me take control. It helped at a time when I felt like I needed more confidence. The doctor empowered me with more knowledge. I've accepted my vitiligo now. I'm not on treatment now, but I know that I have that option. Medicine is a science, and there are new treatments for vitiligo on the horizon.
Self-acceptance is ultimately what's so important. You need to keep yourself encouraged. There will be days when you don't feel like you have confidence. At those times, it's good to rely on those around you who can encourage you when you can't encourage yourself.
It helps me to be around others with vitiligo. I started a group called So Rare They Stare here in Athens, GA. I created this group to educate others on vitiligo and to encourage others who have vitiligo. It helps to surround yourself with like-minded people. I've always been a positive person. When I'm around negative people, I try to turn it around and focus on the positive.
I started seeing the impact of the group I started within the first few months. For example, an older lady in the group had worn makeup to hide her vitiligo for over 30 years. She told me that she cried because she went out for the first time wearing shorts and without makeup on her face. If I can help one person to be OK with themselves, it means so much.
In my community, people know me. I sometimes forget that I have vitiligo. I want to continue to do more to educate and encourage people so that we'll see more people with vitiligo.
When I was a child, my grandmother didn't want to go out of the house. We know that vitiligo doesn't harm our bodies, but it can do harm psychologically. My hope is that people will find whatever works for them -- whether that's a support group or medication -- to help them step outside the front door. That's what's most important.

Posts tagged as "Norwegian Meteorological Institute"
By Mark Sabbatini on July 3, 2022

Various headlines about things such as Svalbard warming five to seven times as fast as the rest of the planet were prominent in worldwide media throughout June, so it's fitting the average temperature for the month at Svalbard Airport was a record-high 6°C, 2.4°C above the average during the years 1991-2020.
MARCHING ON HIGH: New temperature record for month as Ny-Ålesund hits 5.5C on Wednesday – 17C above normal – and 42.6mm of rain falls; Longyearbyen also gets wet thaw
By Mark Sabbatini on March 17, 2022
Photo by Ine-Therese Pedersen / Norwegian Meteorological Institute
Surely there are upsides to mountainsides and streets being filled with tons of flowing slush during a torrential rain. But for experts and mere mortals opining about a record heat wave hitting Svalbard on Wednesday the only optimism was about returning to typical subzero winter conditions – and even that brings its own deluge of problems.
WALLOPING WIND ON WEDNESDAY: Hurricane-force winds of 126 km/h, blowing snow in Longyearbyen prompt warning to secure objects, avoid travel in exposed areas
A blizzard with hurricane-force winds up to 126 kilometers an hour is expected to hit Longyearbyen and Nordenskiöld Land on Wednesday, with officials urging residents to secure loose objects, avoid unnecessay travel in exposed areas and exercise extreme caution if navigating at sea.
LAST SNOWSTORM BEFORE SUMMER? Of course it might snow then as well (although it's increasingly rare), but no more is forecast in Longyearbyen during the last week of spring
By Mark Sabbatini on June 14, 2021
Freakish early- and mid-June heat waves are being felt across the globe – including 50°C (122°F) in the Middle East and record temperatures near that the southwest United States – but locals in Longyearbyen found themselves brushing snow off their windshields Monday during what might be the last snowstorm before summer.
LONGYEARBYEN'S AVERAGE TEMPERATURE NOW 2.8C WARMER: Update to 30-year average is 4.5C warmer during coldest months, 1.5C higher during warmest months
By Mark Sabbatini on May 16, 2021
Those who called Longyearbyen's infamous 111-month streak of above-average temperatures during most of the 2010s a lot statistically outdated hot air are proving to be prophetic, as an update to the official 30-year average at Svalbard Airport show the mean annual temperature is now -3.9C, compared to the average of -6.7C used for the past three decades.
HOT AND WET IN THE DARK: New high temperature record for Svalbard as area between Longyearbyen and Svea goes from 3.9C to 9.4C between midnight and 1 a.m. Thursday
A year where the weather in Svalbard is as extreme as the rest of the surreality of 2020 set another record early Thursday morning as the temperature in an area between Longyearbyen and Svea rose from 3.9 degrees Celsius at midnight to all-time high for the archipelago on this date of 9.4 degrees, according to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
HOTTEST SUMMER EVER IN SVALBARD: Temperature was 3C above 'normal,' including hottest day ever – but archipelago has been abnormally warm for the past three decades
By Mark Sabbatini on September 8, 2020
Photo by Jesper Madsen /Norwegian Polar Institute
It's not exactly a shock that a summer that saw Svalbard's hottest day in recorded history is also the hottest summer in history, with an average temperature of three degrees Celsius above normal.
But while unusually warm, that "normal" is a somewhat skewed figure since it omits a marked period of overall warming during the past 30 years.
LOADED 22: Record high temperature predicted Saturday for Longyearbyen. But don't kill yourself – things will be 'normal' again the next morning
By Mark Sabbatini on July 23, 2020
It's going to be 10 degrees Celsius on Friday morning and 10 degrees again on Sunday morning, so how radically different could things possible be in the interim?
About as radical as it can get, it turns out, as the Norwegian Meteorological Institute is predicting Longyearbyen will set a new all-time record high temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, exceeding the current record of 21.3 degrees set in 1979.
UNLUCKY SEVEN: A new study takes Longyearbyen's 'warming faster than anywhere' claim to yet another level – twice the Arctic average and seven times the Earth's
Chart showing number of days under -10C in Longyearbyen since 1910 by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
It's starting to resemble a bidding war.
For a while Longyearbyen was warming twice as fast as Earth, a couple years ago it was three times, late last year all of Svalbard earned a six times claim, and now Longyearbyen has reclaimed the high spot with a new study relying in part on lost documents literally found deep underground that show warming is happening seven times faster.
Furthermore, now that "twice as fast" designation now applies to Longyearbyen compared to the rest of the Arctic, according to the study.
THE TEMPERATURE STREAK IS OVER! Longyearbyen was 0.5C colder than "normal" in March, ending 111 months of above-average temperatures
By Mark Sabbatini on April 1, 2020
This is not a joke
No, really, this is not a joke.
Oh, for the Love Of Cod do you really think during a time of unthinkable crisis like this…OK, OK, maybe you believe we're reporting the truth now.
But March was certainty a freaky enough month in Longyearbyen (and the rest of the world) that April Fool's Day seems an appropriate date for Longyearbyen's 111-month streak of above-average temperatures to come to an end, according to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. The average temperature at Svalbard Airport was minus 16.2 degrees, 0.5 degrees below the historic average of minus 15.7 degrees between 1961 and 1990 (a figure which, of course, hasn't represented "average" locally for many years and will be replaced by the average between 1991-2020 starting next year).

"Often we're not as pressed for time as we feel we're pressed for time. I remember several years ago becoming so pressed by the demands of teaching at Yale that I took a prayer sabbatical to the Trappist monastery at Geneseo, New York. No teaching, lecturing, or counseling -- just solitude and prayer.
The question, you see, is not to prepare but to live in a state of ongoing preparedness so that, when someone who is drowning in the world comes into your world, you are ready to reach out and help. It may be at four o'clock, six o'clock, or nine o'clock. One time you call it preaching, the next time teaching, then counseling, or later administration. But let them be part of your life in God -- that's ministering."
Lately I've been struck by how true this is for parenting. Whether it's a three year old asking, "Who created God?" or a sixteen year old saying, "Why doesn't God speak clearly today like he spoke in the Bible?", we need to be ready to invite people into our own life with God, into our own questions, into our own insights and convictions and prayers and struggles.
Truth is, you'll never be adequately prepared. You're just inviting them along for a few steps on your journey.


Last week was a very sad week for me. I lost my beloved puppy of eight years. He was a very special dog. He loved keeping track of his small space and was a very big presence in my life. It has been so cold here this week and I really miss talking to him. I hope that he is safe and warm where he is now.
I hope that you find comfort in your work and home.

Starling-DeLay Day Two: A Conversation with Itzhak Perlman
May 30, 2007, 10:12 PM · NEW YORK - After teaching his master class at the second day of the Starling-DeLay Symposium on Violin Studies at Juilliard, Itzhak Perlman stayed to chat with Symposium participants, answering questions from Symposium Artistic Director, Brian Lewis.
"What first attracted you to the violin?" Brian asked.
Perlman said "I heard the violin on the radio, and I love the sound." He said he loved the recordings of the greats such as Jascha Heifetz, Alfredo Campoli, Ida Haendel, David Oistrakh, and Isaac Stern.
"What about Heifetz did you like?" Brian asked.
"Oh, just that he was God," Perlman deadpanned. "He had so much character in his playing; it was so individual."
Brian asked Perlman if he thought it was important to listen to recordings, and Perlman said that "the danger comes in listening to just one recording."
For example, he's encountered a number of "Heifetz victims" in his life, even one "Milstein victim."
"They need an exorcism!" Perlman said. "Victims take the obvious idiosyncrasies about (their idol) and magnify them."
Perlman said he doesn't like to demonstrate much for students, as he doesn't want them to become imitators.
When Perlman came to America at age 13, his first teachers were Dorothy DeLay and Ivan Galamian.
DeLay was much different from the strict, Russian-trained teacher he'd had in Israel. For example, DeLay "believed in involving the student in the decision-making about music."
"She would say, 'Sugarplum, what are you missing here? Where are the sequences?' or 'Sugarplum, what's your concept of G#?"
Galamian cut more to the point.
"IT'S OUT OF TUNE," Perlman said, in Galamian's Russian-flavored accent.
"Galamian was able to take people who were moderately talented and make them play well," Perlman said of his mentor. Though he studied with both, "I worked harder for him than I did for her, because I knew she wouldn't KILL ME." (Cue audience laugh track....)
Galamian had a deep concept of what makes a sound, what is at the core of the sound. On the other hand, DeLay "taught me how to think musically," Perlman said. "The way I teach -- a lot of it is inspired by her example."
"Any experience you can have teaching will improve your playing," Perlman told the audience. "When you teach, listening is the number one quality you need."
Brian asked Perlman what his most challenging performance was.
Perlman said he could remember some memory slips. "I had a couple where I actually composed a piece," Perlman said. "For about 10 seconds I composed a piece---10 VERY LONG seconds...." Perlman imitated the bewildered conductor, then imitated himself -- lost but improvising.
An audience member asked if Perlman recommended a specific practice regimen. Perlman said no, but "I recommend not over-practicing." After five hours, the brain loses its capacity to absorb anything, he said. "Don't practice blindly. You have to have a reason to practice," something particular to accomplish. "Put as much music into your practicing as possible," he said, so it is not all technical work. "Technique must make a connection with the music you are making." Also, practice in rhythms. "Get really used to one rhythm, then destroy it with another."
One teacher asked him how he can play in tune so well with such large fingers.
"Well, I'M TALENTED," he said, drawing more laughter.
"No no. Look, it's difficult," he said. "Each finger, I sort of push the other away. Sometimes I play four notes in a row with the same finger. I believe every note has its own house up there."
Asked about the importance of chamber music, he said, "Chamber music, for me, is the essence of everything that is right in music. Being able to breath with other musicians, being able to work as one with other musicians."
"If someone is good at chamber music," he said, "They can do anything they want to do in music!"
Efrem Violin
May 31, 2007 at 09:13 AM · I certainly would like to have read some comments about other string players and conductors with whom Mr. Perlman has worked (or played). He must have some wonderful memories. Oh my, to have had just a few minutes with him. AND, what has he to say about the new crop of string players coming along? They seem to accomplish so much in such a short time. (Judy Kang, for example, and Sarah Chang), And, there was a Michelle, on the Westside, here in Los Angeles, that I heard play Tschaikovsky. I was spellbound. Her last name escapes me, (she was Asian!) but it seems I remember her stopping playing. It THAT were true, the world lost a real talent. I remember, I would say, "Look out, world, here comes Michelle, and her last name. (Can't seem to remember it.)

Pursuant to an offer of settlement that Alessandro Ruggiero ("ALRU") presented at a hearing on February 12, 2013, in which ALRU neither admitted nor denied the findings or the rule violations upon which the penalty is based, a Panel of the COMEX Business Conduct Committee ("Panel") found that on June 14, 2011, ALRU prearranged a round-turn trade in Silver Options on the trading floor for the purpose of passing money to another COMEX member.
The Panel found that as a result of the foregoing, ALRU violated Exchange Rules 432.G, 521 and 539.A. and C.
In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered ALRU to pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $10,000. The Panel also suspended ALRU from all membership privileges and direct or indirect access to any trading floor or electronic trading or clearing platform owned or operated by CME Group Inc., including Globex, for a period of 10 business days. The suspension will run from February 14, 2013 to February 28, 2013, inclusive.

Goodbye Bread
At The Independent (628 Divisadero, San Francisco) on July 2. 9 p.m., $8, $10. TheIndependentSF.com.
You have to forgive the apprehension when, in a recent interview with Pitchfork, Ty Segall admitted that he wanted to create a "serious" record with Goodbye Bread, his fifth release. This, after all, is a musician who's built a career and amassed a following by being the opposite of serious and measured, by making albums that appear to be composed entirely of incendiary, organic guitar riffs, and usually doing it in about two weeks in someone's basement. Of course, every artist — especially one as young as Segall, who's 23 — wants to be taken seriously, but all too often, "serious" can suck the soul right out of something.
But! Apprehension unwarranted: Segall may have gotten serious on Goodbye Bread, but his soul's still right there in plain sight. Bread shows us an artist genuinely willing to push himself — and it's a thrill to hear. There's still plenty of Segall's lo-fi garage-rock sound, but it's the tracks where he really stretches that succeed the most: The opener, "Goodbye Bread," is about as close to surf-pop as we've ever seen Segall, and it's a standout, as is the slightly droney "Where Your Head Goes." Seriously. (Drag City)

Circumstances that increase the seriousness or outrageousness of a given crime, and that in turn increase the wrongdoer's penalty or punishment. For example, the crime of aggravated assault is a physical attack made worse because it is committed with a dangerous weapon, results in severe bodily injury or is made in conjunction with another serious crime. Aggravated assault is usually considered a felony, punishable by a prison sentence.

A formal investigation -- governed by court rules -- that is conducted before trial. Discovery allows one party to question other parties, and sometimes witnesses. It also allows one party to force the others to produce requested documents or other physical evidence. The most common types of discovery are interrogatories, consisting of written questions the other party must answer under penalty of perjury, and depositions, which involve an in-person session at which one party to a lawsuit has the opportunity to ask oral questions of the other party or her witnesses under oath while a written transcript is made by a court reporter. Other types of pretrial discovery consist of written requests to produce documents and requests for admissions, by which one party asks the other to admit or deny key facts in the case. One major purpose of discovery is to assess the strength or weakness of an opponent's case, with the idea of opening settlement talks. Another is to gather information to use at trial. Discovery is also present in criminal cases, in which by law the prosecutor must turn over to the defense any witness statements and any evidence that might tend to exonerate the defendant. Depending on the rules of the court, the defendant may also be obliged to share evidence with the prosecutor.

Revealing one's genitals under circumstances likely to offend others. Exposure is indecent under the law whenever a reasonable person would or should know that his act may be seen by others--for example, in a public place or through an open window--and that it is likely to cause affront or alarm. Indecent exposure is considered a misdemeanor in most states.

A legal doctrine that prevents legislators from being sued for actions performed and decisions made in the course of serving in government. This doctrine does not protect legislators from criminal prosecution, nor does it relieve them from responsibility for actions outside the scope of their office, such as the nefarious activities of former Senator Bob Packwood.

A prosecution for murder in which the jury is also asked to decide if the defendant is guilty and, if he is, whether he should be put to death. When a prosecutor brings a capital case (also called a death penalty case), she must charge one or more 'special circumstances' that the jury must find to be true in order to sentence the defendant to death. Each state (and the federal government) has its own list of special circumstances, but common ones include multiple murders, use of a bomb or a finding that the murder was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel.

An affirmative defense to a crime. Self-defense is the use of reasonable force to protect oneself from an aggressor. Self-defense shields a person from criminal liability for the harm inflicted on the aggressor. For example, a robbery victim who takes the robber's weapon and uses it against the robber during a struggle won't be liable for assault and battery since he can show that his action was reasonably necessary to protect himself from imminent harm.

The Pacific remittances boom: it's for real
by Stephen Howes and Sherman Surandiran
Writing in 1997, Australian academic Richard Brown noted the "concern that remittances are declining", and would continue to decline. In fact this pessimism that Brown was observing proved unwarranted. Since the 1990s, remittances to the countries Brown was particularly focused on – Samoa and Tonga – have boomed, as have, even more so, remittances to Fiji.
The graph below shows remittances for Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, going back to 1990, though for Tonga we only have continuous data since 2001. The data is taken from the World Bank and national sources, and the values are shown in constant prices and in US dollars.
Fiji has become the biggest recipient of remittances in the Pacific. It drew in close to US $270 million in 2019. Samoa and Tonga, the next two largest recipients, saw inflows of approximately US $200 million and US $180 million respectively in that year. These volumes are all much more than the US $75 million or so the three countries attracted in 2000.
Remittances into Fiji, Samoa and Tonga (in 2019 constant USD millions)
Clearly in all three countries, growth in remittances has been volatile. Remittances exploded in Fiji in 2000, and they almost tripled their value by 2005, before falling over the next few years, and then recovering again. Samoa also saw an acceleration of growth in the 2000s, before a dip in the early 2010s and a subsequent recovery. Remittances fell with the Global Finance Crisis in Tonga, but have recovered since.
Behind the shorter-term ups and downs, however, lies a clear and steep upward trend in remittances. The compound average growth rates for Fiji, Samoa and Tonga between 2000 and 2019 (2001 and 2019 in the case of Tonga) are 8.0%, 5.4% and 5.0% respectively.
But is this apparent boom real? A well-known blog and paper by Michael Clemens and David McKenzie has shown that the global boom in remittances in the 2000s was more artefact than reality. Post 9/11, a crackdown on money laundering led to more remittances being sent through formal channels, and more being recorded. Clemens and McKenzie argue that the actual growth in remittances between 1990 and 2010 was only 40% of the recorded 9.9% annual average.
If this was true of our three countries, then there was no Pacific remittances boom. But it is not. In the figure below, we update the Clemens-McKenzie analysis from 1990-2010 to 2000-2019, since this is our period of interest, and apply it to our three Pacific countries, by decomposing growth in total remittances into growth in the number of migrants (available from the UN – see the data notes below), and growth in remittances per migrant.
Annual average growth in remittances between 2000 and 2019 decomposed
Note the growth in the Pacific migrant stock (diaspora). Fears that rates of migration would fall have not been borne out. There is also strong growth in remittances per migrant. Richard Brown himself, in the article this blog began with, found no evidence of "remittance decay": the hypothesis that the longer a migrant is away from their country of birth, the less they will remit. But how plausible is this contrary finding of "remittance strengthening"?
To answer this question (for global rather than Pacific remittances), Clemens and McKenzie calculate growth in remittances per migrant on the assumption that remittances per migrant grow at the rate of sending countryGDP. We repeat that exercise for the three Pacific countries. As the table below shows (see the last column), combining this value (instead of recorded per-migrant growth) with growth in the number of migrants explains all of Tonga's recorded growth in remittances between 2000 and 2019, more than four-fifths of Samoa's and almost two-thirds of Fiji's.
Decomposition of 2000-2019 remittances growth
Of course, there is no guarantee that the Clemens-McKenzie method itself gives accurate estimates of actual remittance growth, which is clearly more complex than their method assumes.
That said, the Clemens-McKenzie test is a reality check, and the Pacific numbers pass it pretty well. According to it, average annual remittance growth in our three countries of interest over the last two decades was not 5.4-8% for two decades, but 4.4-5.1%. That is still a boom.
Presumably the reason why more of the recorded Pacific boom in remittances is real than the recorded global boom is that even before 9/11 Pacific economies were quite good at recording remittances. This is perhaps because of the long-standing importance of remittances in the Pacific; and/or because of less use of informal channels to send remittances to begin with.
We focused on Fiji, Samoa and Tonga in this blog precisely because they are the Pacific's most successful countries in terms of remittance growth over the last twenty years. Obviously, not all countries in the Pacific achieved this rapid growth in remittances. Nor are we arguing that growth in remittances is an unmitigated blessing: in the case of Fiji, for example, the migration underlying that country's remittances growth in part reflects the country's military coups.
Rather, our argument is that the examples of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga demonstrate that the remittance pessimism of the 1990s was misplaced, and that sustained, rapid growth in remittances is possible in the Pacific.
[1] The UN estimates the number of migrants by deriving the mid-year (1 July) estimate of the number of people living in a country or area other than that in which they were born. If the number of foreign-born was not available, the estimate refers to the number of people living in a country other than that of their citizenship. Data is available every five years from 1990 to 2015, and then for 2019 Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2013). Trends in International Migrant Stock: The 2013 Revision (United Nations database, POP/DB/MIG/Stock/Rev.2013). See: www.unmigration.org.
[2] Clemens and McKenzie proxied the growth in income earned per migrant with the growth in per capita GDP in the main destination country in which migrants from that country reside. We used the weighted average growth in per capita GDP of the three main destination countries (Australia, New Zealand and the USA) as a proxy. For this calculation, weights are assigned to the GDP per capita of these three countries according to the share of migrants every five years. Using constant or changing weights makes no difference to the results.
[3] All monetary values converted to USD and adjusted for inflation. 1993 to 2019 remittances data for Samoa and Fiji come from their respective central banks. The figures were quoted in local currency units and were converted to US$ using LCU/USD exchange rates and then into 2019 US$ using the US$ GDP deflator index from the World Development Indicators. 1990 t0 1992 remittances data for these two countries and 1990 to 2019 remittances data for Tonga were taken from the World Development Indicators (data missing from 1994 to 2000).
[4] All average growth rates shown are compound annual average growth rates, calculated by comparing the first (2000, but 2001 for Tonga) and the last (2019) year.

Review & Outlook
Nevada's Power Politics
Buffett vs. Adelson, and Steyer vs. consumers in the energy market.

Nevada this year is in an election battle of the billionaires. Two ballot measures could radically remake the state's electricity market, and investor Warren Buffett, environmentalist Tom Steyer and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson all have money in the fight. But the biggest potential losers are Nevada residents, whose electricity bills could skyrocket depending on how these two votes go.
For decades, the Berkshire Hathaway -owned NV Energy has enjoyed a regulated monopoly, providing electricity in all but the most rural parts of Nevada. Question 3 would amend the state constitution to prohibit Nevada from granting such monopolies or exclusive franchises to an electricity provider. Lawmakers would have until 2023 to create "an open, competitive retail electric energy market."
Consumers would benefit from more choice. In the 14 states where electricity providers now compete, inflation-adjusted prices have declined by an average of nearly 18% between 2008 and 2016, according to the Retail Energy Supply Association. Prices rose by more than 2.5% over that same period in states where one electricity provider enjoyed a full or partial monopoly.
To amend the Nevada constitution, a ballot measure must gain support in two consecutive elections, and some 72% of voters supported increased energy choices in 2016. This year is the second time around and the effort has drawn nearly $100 million in special-interest contributions, making it the most expensive political campaign in Nevada history.
Casinos, data centers and other big energy consumers resent Nevada's current regulatory regime, under which they must submit to NV Energy's monopoly or pay tens of millions of dollars in exit fees for using an alternative provider. Mr. Adelson's Las Vegas Sands Corp. has contributed nearly $22 million to the campaign for Question 3, while the tech giant Switch chipped in nearly $11 million. But NV Energy likes being the sole energy provider for 90% of Nevada, and this year it has spent more than $63 million to oppose Question 3.

Dilipkumar Roy (22 January 1897 – 6 January 1980) was an Indian musician, musicologist, novelist, poet and essayist. He was the son of Dwijendralal Ray. In 1965, the Sangeet Natak Akademi, India's National Academy for Music, Dance and Drama, awarded him its highest honour for lifetime achievement, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship.[1]

5 Last phase
Background and education[edit]
Son of Dwijendralal Ray (1863–1913), the Bengali poet, playwright, and composer, Roy and his younger sister Maya lost their mother Surabala Devi in 1903. On his father's side, the family descended from one of the apostles of the medieval Bengali saint Shri Chaitanya. His mother Surabala Devi was the daughter of distinguished homeopath physician Pratap Chandra Majumdar.
Since his childhood, Roy had a fascination for Sanskrit, English, chemistry and mathematics. His passion for music stopped him from securing the highest marks in the Matriculation examination: he stood the twenty-first and, with a scholarship, joined the Presidency College of Kolkata. Here he came close to Subhas Chandra Bose. With a first class honours in mathematics, he went to Cambridge in 1919 for a tripos. Shortly before this three-year trip to Europe, in his teens he had come under the personal spell of the musicologist Bhatkhande. Ray had taken advantage of his family background and learnt scores of popular and classical compositions. This forged his determination to embrace music as a vocation. Therefore, in 1920, in addition to the first part of his tripos, he passed also, the examination in Western music. Along with his lessons in piano, he grew fluent in French, German and Italian, before leaving for Germany and Italy to pursue his studies in music. Inviting Roy through the International Peace and Freedom Society, Romain Rolland arranged for him a seminar on Indian classical music in Lugano, and had his lectures translated and published in French. At this juncture, Roy met personalities like Bertrand Russell, Hermann Hesse, and Georges Duhamel. From Vienna, invited by president Masaryk, Roy visited Prague, on his way to Budapest, Rome, Florence and Naples, to discover the heart of the tradition of European music. The ancient modes like Ionian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, and Phrygian, reminded him, respectively, of the Indian that or melakarta ("parent scales") like Bilâval, Iman, Khamâj, Kâfi, Asâvari, and Bhaïravi.
Romain Rolland and Dilipkumar Roy[edit]
In his diary, Inde, Romain Rolland speaks of Roy frequently. He records Roy's first visit on 23 August 1920: "...His is no ordinary intelligence... A young man, tall and well-built, (...) in his complexion the orange-brown of a Créole features, except for the lips..." Talking about his songs, Rolland mentions, "Especially a religious song by Tansen... I find there some affinity with Gregorian melodies and, furthermore, with the Greek hymns that had been at the very source (...)" And Rolland goes on: "By listening to the popular melodies one is better able to grasp the pure and natural genius of the Hindu race. Dilipkumar Roy sings some of them, so charmingly, delicately, cheerfully, poetically, exhibiting such a mastery of rhythm - that they could just as well be popular songs of our own (...) One realizes - how popular art admits far fewer boundaries than sophisticated art." And about Dilip's voice: "He sings with nasal intonations and his voice reaches quite high, with a singular suppleness in the ceaseless blossoming of vocal improvisations and ornaments..." On 24 October 1927, Romain Rolland describes another visit from Roy: "He belongs to a type which is the best of aristocratic India." On listening to an old hymn to the goddess Kali sung by Roy, Rolland mentions: "It is simply captivating, an overflow of passion that implores, laments, reaches fever pitch, subsides, from soprano to bass notes (...) and begins again, with doubled and exacting ecstasy..."
Experiments in music[edit]
While in Europe, Roy realised "the greatness and the deficiency" of Indian classical music as practised by his contemporaries. Instead of mediocre word - supports to elaborate melodic and rhythmic compositions, Roy was convinced that the modern Indian languages, the daughters of Sanskrit, could provide more adequate lyrics for the classical models (as demonstrated by composers like his own father or Tagore, among others). Back in India, he joined Bhatkhande and, following the latter's methodology, he set to travelling widely, collecting and publishing serial notes on raga-variants from regional masters, with notations of specific compositions. He took lessons from musicians like Abdul Karim, Faiyaz Khan, Chandan Chaube, Gaurishankar Mishra, Surendranath Majumdar, and Hafiz Ali Khan. In his works, bhramyaman ('Globe-trotting'), sangitiki ('About Music'), gitashri ('Song as an Art') etc., he recorded in detail his experiences, illustrated by notations. Like Bhatkhande and his pupil Ratanjankar, Roy wrote and demonstrated how Indian classical music could be taught on a purely academic basis, with a syllabus, somewhat demystifying the shrouded master-to-disciple secrecy. As an outspoken music critic, he attained considerable fame, especially in his analysis of the sacrosanct Gurus. His first-hand experience, enhanced by his deep investigation and reflections, opened a new horizon in the domain of thinking, practising and teaching music.
Embracing the Cosmic Soul[edit]
Whereas the very ancient Indian tradition of lieder-like lyrics, passing through the 9th century carya-pada songs, admitted and encouraged the tana (improvised musical phrases), Tagore, who had composed more than 2000 lyrics, wanted to individualise his compositions in the European way and protect their execution according to an authorised notation. An expert of the tana and phrase-variations, Roy had argued and obtained Tagore's permission to interpret the latter's songs as he wished. Composing songs in Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindi and English, keeping intact some popular or classical melodies even from Russian, German, Italian or French music, he had the rare facility of passing from one language to another, while interpreting them.
Among the paramount contributions of Roy, is an Indian type of opera, based on the traditional model of the kirtana: this involves an emotional catharsis through a succession of modal and rhythmic patterns, compatible with the classical schools of Indian dance. After a long discussion with Tagore on the subtleties of Bengali prosody, Roy saw the aged poet dedicating him the former's study on the subject, chhanda. Requested by the University of Calcutta, Roy himself also wrote a treatise on the subject, chhandasiki. In one of his letters to Roy, the poet admitted : "I have a sincere affection for you. My heart is attracted by your unmixed truthfulness and frankness." Roy was admired by listeners like Sri Aurobindo and Tagore. In the 1940s, a hit film in Hindi flooded the country with the songs of Mirabai, the princess-saint of medieval India. Though they were sung by Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi, they had all been collected or composed by Roy. In homage to her teacher, Subbulakshmi has written that when Dilip "sings (...), it is an outpouring of the individual soul, yearning to be embraced by the cosmic soul." . In the late 1930s Subbulakshmi and Roy sang two songs together, Vande Mataram and Dhano Dhanya Pushpe Bora.
Roy created his own style of fiction, involved in a constant psychological analysis. Most of his characters are mystic or spiritual in their essence, situated at a meeting point between the East and the West. As a poet, instead of following the melodic lyrical style developed by Tagore, Roy followed the harmonic structure created by Michael Madhusudan Dutta and brought up to-date by his father Dwijendralal Ray.
Last phase[edit]
After a second visit to Europe, in 1928 Roy settled at the Ashram of Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry. His imposing correspondence with Sri Aurobindo reveals a hitherto unknown aspect of the Master who declared cherishing him "like a friend and a son". In the early 50s, two patriotic songs composed by Roy ("Ham bharatke" and "Nishan uncha, kadam badha") appealed to the General Cariappa, who wanted to include them in the official list of marching songs for the Indian Army.
In 1953, on returning from a world tour, accompanied by his disciple Indira Devi, he founded the Hari Krishna Mandir in 1959 at Pune. Roy co-authored an autobiographical book titled Pilgrims of the Stars with Indira Devi. Pilgrims of the Stars offers the reader a glimpse into the daily struggles and victories of two great souls. East West Journal stated that the book was, "...as remarkable as it is rewarding for the reader." The book has been translated into Gujarati (translator Ramaṇalāl Sonī; Amadāvāda: Vorā, 1977; and Rājakoṭa: Pravīna Pustaka Bhanḍāra, 1991).
Honoured by the Sanskrit Academy of Kolkata as the 'Source of the Nectar of Melody' (sura-sudhâkara), Roy was elected member of the Indian State Academy of Fine Arts. He was the author of more than 50 records (several of them still reprinted by the HMV-India); 8 volumes of songs with notation; 21 volumes in English and 46 in Bengali containing novels, poems, plays, epistles, reminiscences and essays.
Roy died in Hari Krishna Mandir, Pune[citation needed] on 6 January 1980.

Mount Hale ist ein  hoher Berg im westantarktischen Ellsworthland. Er ragt 2,4 km nordwestlich des Mount Davis im Hauptkamm der Sentinel Range des Ellsworthgebirges auf.

Entdeckt wurde er von der sogenannten Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, einer Mannschaft vorwiegend zur Erkundung des Marie-Byrd-Lands zwischen 1957 und 1958. Diese benannte den Berg nach Daniel Payne Hale (1926–2005), Mitglied dieser Mannschaft und Polarlichtphysiker auf der Byrd-Station.

Lighten Up is the health and wellness retreat you've been searching for. We focus on creating dynamic energy through a powerful combination of yogic and nature-based techniques. Some of the many benefits of these practices include increased vitality and core strength, deep relaxation, a release of old emotional patterns locked deep within the body, a reduction of stress-related symptoms, greater personal power and the ability to manifest your goals, expanded awareness and intuition, improved sleep, deeper connection with others, and an overall increased sense of wellbeing and inner peace. The most frequent comment we get from participants is about how long the positive results last after the retreat is over.
Activities at the Lighten Up retreat include meditation, some still, some moving; breathwork; the use of sound therapy (drums, gong, mantra); yoga and other movement to strengthen the nervous system, improve immune function, balance the glandular system and improve circulation (no prior yoga and meditation experience or extreme flexibility is necessary -- all levels welcome!); a nightly sweatlodge for purification and expansion of awareness (most evenings); time alone in nature, and one hands-on energy healing session per student. There is a structure for the week, but variations can occur based upon the need of the individual group.
The food at this health and wellness retreat will be healthy, delicious vegetarian fare, with an optional one-day juice fast during the week. As your body purifies itself and releases stored toxins, it rebuilds itself. It is an extraordinary opportunity to replace your habitual mental and emotional "garbage" with positive and healing forces that will be implanted on a cellular level.
center on the theme of that day.
The Lighten Up Inner Peace Bootcamp is an excellent class to do annually, to release and recharge!
Yoga and Meditation. Sweatlodge. Breathwork. Energy Healing. Deep Relaxation. Juicing. Time in Nature. Increased Vitality......The LIGHTEN UP Health and Wellness Retreat!

[I] have this moment taken yours of the 26 from the office--I wrote to you on the 20th or 22--stating that I paid the notes on the Monday after Mr. Dike left you; he was detained on his way--I wrote to all the persons whose notes were due to day received them--on the 20 or 22 when I sent you a line stating the fact, I had not rec'd a dollar--the roads are intolerable and very likely not one of the persons to whom I wrote rec'd word by the 20. Two have since been here and they say they did not receive the line I sent them till the 26th--I called on Tiffany on the 20 as requested by Mr. Backus, or rather I called at his office but he had gone to Toronto on the Hall case, and had not yet returned unless he returned last night--so I have heard nothing from him.
Samuel starts for home the first of next week. I shall send all the money I now have to Buffalo by Post and send it to you--I cannot buy a Draft here or I would do it today--The Bank in this Town has wound up its business--it was only a branch of the York Bank. In regard to obtaining money from the bank here--that is to say in York I do not think there is any chance for us if it is out of the question for our best men who have been in the constant practice of obtaining money to do it at present.
Yesterday one hundred notes were protested in this town, at the office of the old Branch. I have settled with Mr. Janes which was done on the receipt of the papers by Mr. Dike. Janes2 felt extremely bad on his return--was sorry he went to Brockport--was sorry he ever started the Furnace--but after we settled he seemed to feel better, has resumed his wonted cheerfulness--is buying and selling village lots--says he shall leave the Province next Spring for the West, wants now to ask you if you will obtain what Mills of Backus he wants and he will positively pay for the same by the time B. will require his pay.
I have wrote for Iron at the Colborne furnace 20 tons--but have received no answer. The terms of payment will determine what money I shall want. I hope to obtain it by a Bank Note which would run according to practice 3-6 and 9 months.
I can obtain a policy for full value of our property at 2per ct. in town. We have no fire but what we are melting--our stoves are removed--we melt in the morning to be the more secure--but for all this we may burn. I will insure if you desire although there is not 1/4 the risk now there is in the [?] but I desire that your interest shall be safe.
I hope Mr. Backus will not condemn me unheard--I hope you will receive my other letter before this has time to reach you. Our love to you and yours.
A new bank, the Gore goes into operation the 15th of May--we look for better times, our furnaces will mould but we are now moulding our last heat till we receive iron & coal. Harris goes to Buffalo to move his furniture to this place. Mr. Dike is a good workman at the Lotter where he works at present. Some of the men who came here to pay their notes when they were out. Brockport will not pay their notes all the 15th of May for the reason that it is out of the question to raise money at present--whether or not the collections would be hastened by suing I know not.
I will write you the beginning of the week by Samuel particularly, and will give you a statement of our business as near as I can--and will then say what I can in regard to funds. I do not think any Iron we can obtain in the province will be any thing as good as the Cartier and if I do not hear favourable news from the Colborne furnace to send you by Samuel--I think we had better make another effort to obtain some from Carthage. If I am able to obtain 20 tons from Colborne we will make do--we are selling but little--In great hury [sic] 30th April.
1 The date is noted at the bottom of the letter.
2 Mr. [Joseph] Janes was a business partner in the foundry. Apparently, he and Fisher had some difficulties working together and eventually Janes ran off, leaving his wife and numerous debts behind. For more details and links, see W-MCP4-6.237. For more on Fisher, see W-MCP5-6.240.


Since the beginning of February, climate walls are being assembled in Øivindsvei Omsorgsboliger project, located in Oslo. This is a 9 storey building with 80 separate flats in total, intended as nursing home for elders. In total, Husvik has delivered more than 2500 m2 of wall elements. The final delivery scheduled on next week.
For this project there were special passive-house demands, which required 350mm insulation with better thermal conductivity and windows had to be with special passive house profile. At first, it was quite challenging, to install windows in panels, as they had to be placed deeper in wall structure, than usual. But after some practice, it was no longer a problem to produce wall elements in usual speed.
On site, the assembly is being done by the customer's company. So far they have assembled most of Husvik's produced external walls and now the last facade is being installed.
As the assembly progress is quite noticable, climate wall elements should be finished soon.

Q: RecyclerView items in ArrayList I am working on an android project and I am putting some TextViews inside a RecyclerView and at the same time I am trying to put those things in an array list as ViewHolder type. After some tests on the program i understood that the items that are inserted in the ArrayList are only the items that are shown in the screen. For example if my screen fits 15 textviews and i put 30 textviews inside the recycler view and arraylist, the size of the arraylist will be only 15 so i can't make any changes to the rest of the items.
Also when i scroll down the recycler view the arraylist get a size of the items that has been shown while scrolling but when i scroll back to the top and try to change the number of the TextViews and make them less the program crashes.
What i want is to have all of the items that have been added to the recycler view also in the arraylist in order to can use them.
Recycler View class code:
public class Tab1Child1Numbers extends RecyclerView.Adapter<Tab1Child1Numbers.ViewHolder> {

ArrayList<Integer> textFront;
ArrayList<Integer> textBack;
ArrayList<Integer> colors;
Context context;
ArrayList<ViewHolder> texts = new ArrayList<>();

public Tab1Child1Numbers(Context context, ArrayList<Integer> textFront, ArrayList<Integer> textBack, ArrayList<Integer> colors) {
    super();
    this.context = context;
    this.textFront = textFront;
    this.textBack = textBack;
    this.colors = colors;
}

@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext())
            .inflate(R.layout.tab1_child1_numbers, viewGroup, false);
    ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(v);
    return viewHolder;
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder viewHolder, final int i) {

    viewHolder.textFront.setText(textFront.get(i)+"");
    viewHolder.textBack.setText(textBack.get(i)+"");
    viewHolder.textFront.setBackgroundColor(colors.get(i));
    viewHolder.textBack.setBackgroundColor(colors.get(i));

    texts.add(viewHolder);
    // cardsFront.add(viewHolder.imageFront);
    // cardsBack.add(viewHolder.imgThumbnail);

    viewHolder.setClickListener(new ItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view, int position, boolean isLongClick) {

            if (isLongClick) {

            } else {
                Deck deck = new Deck();
                deck.flipCard(texts.get(position).frame, texts.get(position).textFront, texts.get(position).textBack);
            }
        }
    });
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return textFront.size();

A: It looks like you're trying to do something that you shouldn't.
onBindViewHolder() is called by the system whenever it is about to display a ViewHolder to the user. So it will initially be called once for every view on the screen, plus once for a small number of views just off-screen (so that they can scroll on screen nicely).
However, this means it will also be called repeatedly as the user scrolls through the data in your adapter. In these cases, the ViewHolder being passed to onBindViewHolder() might have been recycled, meaning it might previously have been used to display different data and is now being re-used to display new data.
Let's say you have one million items in your data set, but your layout is set up in such a way that only 15 items are visible on screen at any one time. Chances are good that the system will wind up creating about 20 ViewHolder instances (15 on the screen, 5 available for re-use just off-screen). These same 20 ViewHolders will be used to display all one million items if the user scrolls enough. They'll just keep being re-used over and over.
That's why this line is problematic:
texts.add(viewHolder);

You're going to wind up building a list with potentially millions of objects in it, with the same 20 ViewHolders appearing multiple times in your list.
It would be much better to think about storing your data in a different way, rather than trying to store ViewHolders passed to onBindViewHolder().

"I was born in 1981 in a small village not far from the city of Yogyakarta, which is rich in art and philosophies. I am a married man with one son, and this requires more responsibility in making a good plan for his life in the future.
"In Java, arts and crafts are typically used in custom events or a special collection, and batik is closely associated with traditional ceremonies. There are philosophies contained in the art of batik.
"My parents taught me about working hard to reach my dreams and to always think positive, to be wise and help others. The spirit of an entrepreneur grew in me, and I decided to resign from the company where I worked. The wood batik artisans in my village were unemployed, as the company where they worked was closed. Most of them are women, and I began organizing them. Now, thank God, they can work at home and have more time for their families.
"We work on wood, with manual tools for the batik process. The wood is easy to find, but the batik process takes lots of time. We were once in a difficult situation when we got an order for a thousand pieces. But luckily, our client knew well about batik and how difficult the process is. So he gave us good tolerance for colors and pattern shapes.
"We craft wood batik ornaments, accessories and décor with the best quality we can, and incorporate our traditional batik culture into our designs. By working with you, I know people around the world will learn about us and our Javanese batik culture.""
