WEBVTT LOOK AT HIGH-SPEED RAIL. MAYBE THAT MONEY CAN BE SPENT ELSEWHERE. TY: HE IS TOUGH IT OUT A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM. $400 BILLION IS WHAT THAT IS ESTIMATED. THAT WOULD BANKRUPT CALIFORNIA. IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO MOVE TO THAT SYSTEM OR OF A CAMPAIGN PROMISES? JO WE DON'T SEE THAT IS REALISTIC BECAUSE THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE STATE BUDGET RIGHT NOW. WILL THEY MOVE INCREMENTALLY IN THAT DIRECTION? IT'S POSSIBLE. ALL OF THIS IS CONTINGENT ON WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS SOME FURTHER RETRENCHMENT ON T ACA AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. A LOT OF PROMISES THROWN OUT THERE. WE UNDERSTAND IT. RUMOR HAS IT THAT SOMETIMES POLITICIANS DON'T KEEP THEIR CAMPAIGN PROMISES. TY: NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. IT IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —
Gov. Gavin Newsom was expected to release his first state budget Thursday, offering an outline of his plan to boost spending on services for children while maintaining fiscal prudence.
Newsom's proposal, which he'll discuss during a morning news conference in Sacramento, kicks off six months of negotiations with the Legislature. Lawmakers have until June 15 to approve a balanced spending plan or lose pay.
Newsom has already outlined more than $2.5 billion in spending proposals focused on early childhood education and health care. He also plans to ask lawmakers to vastly expand the state's paid leave program for new parents. He's framed his budget as a "California for All" agenda that looks to close the gaps between rich and poor.
The Democratic governor is announcing his plans during a time of sustained prosperity in California, which clawed back from a $27 billion deficit following the Great Recession that required deep and painful cuts to education, health care and just about every other service offered.
This year, state revenue has soared since lawmakers and former Gov. Jerry Brown approved a $139 billion budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30. The nonpartisan legislative analyst projected in November that lawmakers would have a $15 billion surplus to allocate next year on top of $15 billion in the rainy day fund, which is at the maximum allowed under the state Constitution.
Newsom will release his own revenue estimates along with his budget, which could include an even larger surplus if his economic forecasts are rosier.
He promised in his inaugural address Monday that his budget would be bold.
"We will aim high and we will work like hell to get there," he said.
Among the budget items that Newsom has already outlined are a nearly $2 billion plan to support low-income children, with much of the money earmarked for construction of childcare facilities and kindergarten classrooms. Taking a page from former Gov. Jerry Brown's budget playbook, which targets as much new spending as possible on one-time expenditures that don't carry a long-term cost, Newsom has focused much of his new early childhood spending on construction projects to improve existing ones. That will limit the long-term cost of his initiative and help Newsom maintain his pledge to preserve rainy day savings.
He also wants a big boost in funding to provide full-day preschool and kindergarten to all children.
Helping low-income children in the crucial early years of life, when brains are developing rapidly, was a central campaign promise for Newsom, who has four young children and was elected with an overwhelming majority in November.
Newsom has also proposed expanding state-funded health care to low-income people living in the country illegally until their 26th birthday, up from a current cutoff at age 19. He wants to increase subsidies for people who buy their own insurance, rather than getting it from an employer or government program. His health proposals would cost $760 million a year.
And he plans to propose a significant expansion of California's paid leave program, which allows new parents to receive a portion of their paycheck while away from work following the birth or adoption of a child. Newsom wants to eventually offer six months of leave to be split between the parents, though his initial budget will include a smaller step in that direction.
California currently replaces a portion of wages for six weeks for new parents, and birth mothers can take an additional six weeks of disability leave. The program is funded through a payroll tax. It's unclear how he'd pay for a full six-month program.

Q: How do I access the inner data in this Google Custom Search errors array? I have a web app using Google Custom Search via REST. So far, everything works fine, but when I exceed the allotted daily quota of queries, I want to give the user some info about it. I get this JSON response, and I can access the "code" and "message" data using response.error.code and response.error.message, but I don´t know how to access the subset "errors", specifically "reason".
I know this is a JSON question, but I don´t have much experience with it.
This is the JSON structure I receive (which is what I expect)
{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "dailyLimitExceeded",
    "message": "This API requires billing to be enabled on the project. Visit https://console.developers.google.com/billing?project=323544036192 to enable billing.",
    "extendedHelp": "https://console.developers.google.com/billing?project=323544036192"
   }
  ],
  "code": 403,
  "message": "This API requires billing to be enabled on the project. Visit https://console.developers.google.com/billing?project=323544036192 to enable billing."
 }
}

A: I found the solution trying different things. I think I got lucky.
console.log(response.error.errors[0].reason);

This gives me the data I was trying to access.

Q: how to add django groups to a request user dynamically I have a model called Employee which has a foreign key field to employee category(like teacher,non-teaching or librarian). I have two groups called 'Library Management' and 'Teacher Management'.
This is my code for Employee model
class EmployeeAdmission(User):

    User.username = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    User.password = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    employee_number =models.CharField(max_length=10)
    joining_date = models.DateField()
    employee_first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    employee_middle_name = models.CharField(max_length=20,blank=True)
    employee_last_name = models.CharField(max_length=20,blank=True)
    employee_email = models.EmailField(max_length=254)
    gender = models.CharField(choices=GENDER,max_length=20)
    date_of_birth = models.DateField()
    employee_category = models.ForeignKey(AddEmployeeCategory,on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name='employee')
    job_title = models.CharField(max_length=35)
    qualification = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    Experience_info = models.TextField(max_length=200)
    total_experience = models.CharField(max_length=20,choices=YEAR)

I made some employee category like teacher and librarian
My logic is based on the category at the time of post request.
say if employee_category is 1. then check for Library Management group and add the group to the request user or if employee_category is 2  then check for Library Management group and add the group to the request user.
this is my code for employee.views.py
@csrf_exempt
def post(self, request, format=None):
    json = JSONRenderer().render(request.data)
    stream = BytesIO(json)
    data = JSONParser().parse(stream)
    serializer = EmployeeDetailSerializer(data=data)
    if serializer.is_valid():

        category = serializer.fields.get('employee_category',default=None)

        if (category == 1 ):
            library_group = Group.objects.get(name='Library Management')
            request.user.groups.add(library_group)
            request.user.save()

        else :
            teacher_group = Group.objects.get(name='Teacher Management')
            request.user.groups.add(teacher_group)
            request.user.save()

        serializer.save()
        return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
    return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

I have refered these links here .
I am able to save the user but i am still not able to add the groups to the user (Not reflecting on the User model).
Anyone who knows the solution please help. Thank you in advance.

A: I have found the answer after a lot of research.
When i was using this code.
request.user.groups.add(library_group)
request.user.save()

the group was getting saved only on the user which has admin not the instance of the "EmployeeAdmission". So to get the instance of the "EmployeeAdmission" I did it like this.
employee = serializer.save()

after getting the instance of the that model i was able to save it. and it was reflecting in the database.
The code i used was this
employee.groups.add(library_group)
employee.save()

AI Knowledge Engine
For Tourism
St. Louis Lambert International Airport Provides Visitors with Reliable, Accurate Travel Information in One Place
As part of a longstanding partnership with St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) forged in 2017, we created an AI-powered virtual assistant for travelers and visitors, available across web and SMS services. The virtual assistant can adjust specific responses based on where visitors are located in the airport, utilizing the depth and complexity of our comprehensive knowledge bases. During 2018, the virtual assistant received over 100,000 messages supporting traveler and visitor questions. This continues to give travelers unmatched customer service while providing STL with meaningful metrics and insights about their traveler and visitor expectations.
With thousands of visitors traveling through STL every day, the airport needed an efficient and effective way of communicating with travelers about logistical and terminal-specific information. Travelers may confuse official STL employees with employees of a specific airline, security team, or a food/beverage provider, which could lead to misinformation and pertinent questions left unanswered.
We launched an AI-powered virtual assistant that provides consistently accurate information which can be accessed on the STL website or through SMS. These touchpoints allow visitors to access information before they arrive at the airport and while they're on-site, regardless of whether they are there to take a flight or to pick-up or drop-off a traveler. The virtual assistant addresses a host of inquiries that travelers would previously have had to seek out from alternative sources. Frequently asked questions such as the correct baggage claim carousel for a particular flight, flight status, airline locations, gate locations, and rental car information can now be answered on-demand. The virtual assistant also addresses inquiries about the airport experience, such as wayfinding, food and beverage locations, airport discounts, cell phone lots, directions, and parking spots.To ensure that travelers and visitors receive the most relevant information based on their location, the virtual assistant simultaneously handles knowledge-bases for both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The platform also features a "Discount of the Week" in the opening message to allow the airport to promote different vendors and deals.
In 2018, the virtual assistant received over 100,000 messages supporting traveler and visitor questions. Since the initial launch, our knowledge base has grown 35%, responding to the ever-growing changes and expectations of airport travelers and visitors. In January alone, the virtual assistant saw a 2X increase in the monthly average of questions handled compared to every other month, showcasing the technology as a valuable tool to answer traveler and visitor questions during peak holiday and inclement weather travel times.
Messages handled in 2018

Increase in questions during peak month
"As air travel carries its own set of challenges for many people, we want to make sure that we are providing the easiest and most efficient process as possible. The Satisfi Labs solution has allowed us to cater to our visitors with the level of service they deserve, while also gaining a deeper understanding of their expectations and needs so we can improve and expand our offerings."

"A Book of Lies": Settler impressions of Aboriginal women
by Managing Editor Posted on May 7, 2017
VIDA blog's Australian Women Writers Challenge book reviews continue with Lauren Robinson's analysis of a book about colonial Australian history.
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this blog may contain the images and names of people who have since passed away.
Liz Conor, Skin Deep: Settler Impressions of Aboriginal Women (Crawley: UWA Publishing, 2016). RRP $50.00. ISBN 9781742588070 (paperback).
The recently released book Skin Deep: Settler Impressions of Aboriginal Women is an insightful analysis of the intersections between racism and misogyny in Australian society. As the title suggests, Liz Connor focuses particularly on print representations of Aboriginal women from the first instances of European exploration and settlement.
Skin Deep argues that these representations were based on unfounded hearsay, yet they were circulated and reiterated until they became accepted as truth. In titling this review I took inspiration from one of the books opening lines (27):
[This] is a print history of settler impressions of Aboriginal women situated at that most potent juncture of racism and misogyny. This is a book of lies.
Dr Liz Conor is an ARC Future Fellow at La Trobe University, author of The Spectacular Modern Woman: Feminine Visibility in the 1920s (2004) and editor of the journal Aboriginal History. It took Conor over a decade to write Skin Deep, and this is evident in the wide-ranging subject matter, which spans hundreds of years and the entire Australian continent. In doing so, she hoped to stimulate non-Indigenous readers into reflecting on the insidious history of Europeans in Australia and how pervasive these manufactured "truths" have become. However, Conor is also aware that Indigenous readers may find the content upsetting and takes care to be mindful of the possibility of further "reinscribing trauma" (7).
Conor astutely balances her analysis between racism and misogyny. Today, this is sometimes called misogynoir – a term coined in 2010 by critical race and feminist scholar Moya Bailey to describe the specific brand of misogyny and racism directed towards black women. Skin Deep both illuminates the intense racism to which all Indigenous people have been and are subject, while simultaneously emphasising the dual struggle that Indigenous women faced in dealing with both racism as well as misogyny. Conor uses primary sources to demonstrate how Indigenous women were separated from "normal" Indigenous society, through divisive references made to "natives" and "native women."
"Aboriginal courtship – carrying off a lubra" (1861), by George Strafford. Image via State Library of Victoria.
As a result, we come to see how women were "othered" by the colonists. Conor describes how white men intentionally fostered this division; they felt more comfortable dealing with the Indigenous population when women were construed as different – brutalised and helpless. This made Indigenous society feel more familiar and less alien to the colonists, due to the strong current of misogyny and assumptions of female weakness in European society. Indigenous people were cast in the role of savage primitives in part due to this perception about the brutal treatment of women.
The tropes of bride capture and wife abuse are constant threads throughout Conor's analysis. The irony is not lost that the very same white men who raped and murdered Aboriginal women and girls concurrently looked down on Aboriginal men for the alleged mistreatment of women. Indigenous society was also cast as patrilineal, with women entirely disconnected from property rights. As Conor argues, such a representation was less concerned with the realities of Indigenous culture and more concerned with reinforcing the Victorian belief in patrilineal propertied inheritance through arguments about primitive origins. Aboriginal culture was believed to reflect the "primitive" ancestry of "civilised" European society. As such, arguing that Aboriginal society practiced patrilineal inheritance allowed white men to position this as the natural order. Conor uses these examples to powerfully comment on the innate misogyny of European settlers.
Skin Deep examines more specific examples of the misogyny and racism of settler society towards Aboriginal women by analysing several prominent themes: bride capture, polygamy, infanticide, cannibalism, sexual abuse, Aboriginal domesticity, and ageing. As Conor explains, a "feedback loop" existed between scientists and casual observers, creating an uncritical set of truths that were in fact based off token eyewitness accounts (225).
While Conor notes that most of the tales told by settlers about Aboriginal people held a grain of truth, Skin Deep traces the existence of these stories through the colonial archive. It reveals the repetition and exaggeration required to facilitate their preponderance. For example, the original bride capture story was advanced by David Collins in An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales (1798). He wrote that Aboriginal women were
dragged through the woods by one arm…the lover, or rather the ravisher, is regardless of the stones or broken pieces of trees which may lie in his route, being anxious only to convey his prize sadly to his own party, where a scene ensues too shocking to relate.
This was not a first-hand account of events. But, as Conor demonstrates, these sentences were copied almost word for word in countless subsequent reports of male Aboriginal violence against Aboriginal women. Similarly, stories about Aboriginal women committing infanticide and cannibalism were vague but interpreted as reliable facts. Interestingly, Conor notes that some of these accounts may have come from Indigenous people themselves, as grisly tales told by one tribe about another. Due to most settlers' lack of understanding of Indigenous culture, this distinction was probably missed. The Aboriginal mother, believed to be the perpetrator of these savage crimes, was portrayed in a role of mute but critical importance, whereby she moved her race closer and closer to the point of supposed extinction through her infanticidal tendencies.
Skin Deep also examines European anxieties about interracial Asian and Indigenous relationships. Conor argues that Europeans were unable to understand the "complex rites of sexual exchange" in which Indigenous women participated (291). For example, Indigenous women sometimes engaged in sexual relations with Asian men for certain rewards, and Indigenous men would enforce payment. While Connor asserts that this was different from prostitution, this is a difficult distinction to comprehend. Although Conor is perhaps trying to allow for the agency of Aboriginal women, a point that many historians overlook, this argument seemingly resulted only in dismissing the sex-based oppression that Indigenous women experienced in many interracial encounters. However, her analysis of the differing attitudes Europeans held about Indigenous sexuality, depending upon the races involved, is certainly interesting and astute.
"Daisy Bates with Aboriginal warriors" (1921), photographer unknown. Image via the State Library of South Australia.
From a personal perspective, I particularly appreciated Conor's analysis of how white women were often equally complicit in the creation and reiteration of stereotypes and un-truths. The primary focus of my Ph.D. is white women in nineteenth-century Victoria. Many books I have read about both Indigenous history and Australian history fail to examine how the ill treatment of Aboriginal people was not solely the providence of white men. Conor refers several times to Daisy Bates, an Irish-Australian female author prominent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Bates was partially responsible for reviving ideas about cannibalism and infanticide by Aboriginal mothers. Conor refers to her as one of the Aboriginal peoples "worst enemies" (229).
Conor is at pains to demonstrate the relevance of her research to contemporary Australia. Skin Deep links the disparaging and racist historic representations of Aboriginal women with continuing disrespect for Aboriginal culture and peoples today. For example, Conor cites Pauline Hanson, who referenced Bates' descriptions of Indigenous women as child killers and cannibals in a 1997 parliamentary speech. By using such an example, Hanson apparently attempted to refute the so-called "romantic" views of pre-contact Indigenous society. As Conor argues, this reveals the enduring effects of racist print culture and the ongoing belief in the veracity of these false claims. Skin Deep also considers the Northern Territory Intervention and the racist use of Indigeneity as a tourist attraction.
This book was painstakingly researched over many years, and Conor's deep engagement with the source material is a testament to this. Skin Deep continually highlights the ongoing relevance of the dark history Conor seeks to illuminate. This, I believe, is an important yet often forgotten element to writing history, particularly Australia's colonial history.
Lauren Robinson is a Ph.D. candidate with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University in Melbourne. Her thesis is focused on the intersections between gender, class and nature in nineteenth-century Victoria. More broadly, Lauren is interested in the themes of immigration, women's studies and environmental history.

The DX-213 G3 equipped with a 4-pin S-Video plug, the DX-213 G3 is compatible with Karaoke Remote control (offered independently), best for usage without reaching the amplifier itself. By keeping the amplifier in a well aerated location (e.g. systems space with air ventilation) the amplifier can operate at full capacity in an appropriate environment, and with the Karaoke Remote compatibility you won't have to run backward and forward adjusting the mixer because it can be controlled by remote. Like the first generation, DX-213 G3 has the "SAIS" (Smart Audio Input Select) function that picks the active input over inactive audio inputs, so it will constantly tune to the playing music! Exactly what is SAIS? Smart Audio Input Select is the ability to set a priority audio source when audio is playing, and reverting back to the previous input when inactive. BGM (Background Music) is set to play full-time, up until a top priority source starts playing. In the top priority are DVD and VOD, when either is active BGM will no longer be the playing source. When both DVD and VOD are non-active, source will instantly change to Background Music.

Self-testing cervical cancer screening could save Māori women's lives
Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for Māori women aged 25–44 and Māori women are more than twice as likely as New Zealand European women to be diagnosed with, and three times more likely to die from, the disease.
Most cervical cancers occur in women who have either not received screening or had infrequent screening, and 34 percent of Māori women, compared with 21 percent of New Zealand European women, do not attend regular screening.
The study looked at whether Māori women who have not been screened regularly would want to do a new self-test looking for the cancer-causing Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
HPV screening is more effective at preventing cervical cancer and its associated premature death than the current smear test and the new technology enables women to screen themselves.
The study found the most frequently cited barrier to current screening was whakamā—embarrassment, shyness, and/or reticence. A lack of time and fear of discomfort or pain were also leading barriers.
But three out of four study participants would be likely or very likely to do a self-test for HPV, with nine out of ten reporting being likely or very likely to attend a follow-up if they tested positive.
The findings are informing the ongoing development of the Ministry of Health's National Cervical Screening Programme, with self-testing being explored as an option for making screening more accessible once HPV primary screening is introduced.
International HPV self-testing acceptability studies of other Indigenous and ethnic minority women had similar findings but this is the first study of Māori women.
The study, conducted through face-to-face hui (meetings) and a survey, involved more than 500 Māori women, as well as healthcare providers such as smear/sample takers, general practitioners, nurses and clinic staff.
"Self-collected vaginal specimens can be used for HPV screening and recent evidence suggests they provide sensitivity and specificity equal to clinician-collected specimens for detecting high-risk HPV types. We need to implement this new cancer prevention screen as soon as possible to save lives," says Anna Adcock, a Research Fellow in Te Tātai Hauora o Hine and co-lead of the study along with Professor Beverley Lawton, the Centre's Director, and Dr. Fiona Cram, Director of Māori research company Katoa Ltd.
"Hui participant responses to the idea were generally very positive, with women using terms such as 'easier', 'more comfortable', 'less intrusive' and 'brilliant'. Our findings suggest that, implemented in a flexible and culturally sensitive way, HPV self-testing could be very acceptable for Māori women who find current screening unacceptable."
Dr. Jane O'Hallahan, Clinical Director of the Ministry of Health's National Screening Unit, says, "This research provides valuable information to help us make our screening programme more responsive to Māori women's needs."

SRP Approves Arizona Expansion with 16 Gas-Fired Turbines
NRC Backs Storing Nuclear Waste in Texas
Federal regulators have approved a private company's plan to store nuclear waste in the oil fields of West Texas, the latest move in the continuing saga of where to store spent fuel from U.S. nuclear power plants.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Sept. 13 issued a license to Interim Storage Partners LLC (ISP), a joint venture of Orano CIS LLC and Waste Control Specialists LLC, to put a storage repository—known as a consolidated interim storage facility, or CISF—in the Permian Basin, the nation's most prolific oil-producing region. The site could hold as much as 40,000 metric tons of radioactive waste.
The NRC in a news release said the agency "authorizes the company to receive, possess, transfer and store up to 5,000 metric tons of spent fuel and 231.3 metric tons of Greater-Than-Class C low-level radioactive waste for 40 years. The company has said it plans to expand the facility in seven additional phases, up to a total capacity of 40,000 metric tons of fuel. Each expansion would require a license amendment with additional NRC safety and environmental reviews."
A timeline of the licensing process for the ISP project and accompanying documentation is available on the NRC website.
Spent Fuel Sealed in Casks
The spent fuel would be shipped by rail from nuclear plants across the U.S. The used fuel assemblies are sealed in casks which are then encased in concrete, and which would then be stored above ground at the site near Andrews, Texas, near the border with New Mexico. Jeff Isakson, CEO of ISP, has repeatedly said the process is safe, noting his company has spent nearly a decade "and millions of dollars" to ensure safety standards are met.
Those assurances have not quelled opposition to the plan, not only from local residents but also Texas government officials, along with oil and gas companies concerned about leaks that could impact production from the basin.
Oil production in the Permian has averaged just below 4.8 million barrels per day this month, with natural gas output at about 17.7 billion cubic feet per day, according to Upstream Analytics and GlobalData Oil and Gas.
A 2017 Department of Energy review of nuclear waste shipments worldwide found that there have been few transportation accidents involving spent nuclear fuel, and those that occurred with minor. The DOE also has said that radioactive waste in the U.S., including material from weapons production, is moved via routes that minimize any potential exposure to radiation.
Lawmakers Oppose Project
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott last week signed legislation that aims to stop the ISP project. The Andrews County Commissioners' Court, which acts as the county's board of commissioners, earlier this year voted to oppose the project after previously expressing support. The commissioners initially said the project would bring economic stability to the region and offset the cyclical nature of oil and gas production, but changed course in the face of local opposition to the plan.
Two lawsuits that could block the Texas installation, and a similar CISF just 35 miles away in New Mexico backed by Holtec International that is still seeking federal approval, are currently pending at U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The suits say the projects violate federal law.
Holtec in recent years has been buying nuclear plants that are closed or scheduled for retirement. The company's website offers videos of its work worldwide, including what the company has done at the Chernobyl site in Russia.
'Inherently High Risk'
Kevin Kamps, an official with Beyond Nuclear, a Maryland-based group opposed to nuclear power and nuclear weapons and a vocal opponent of the CISF projects, in an email to POWER wrote, "Transporting highly radioactive waste is inherently high-risk. Fully loaded irradiated nuclear fuel containers would be among the very heaviest loads on the roads, rails, and waterways. They would test the structural integrity of badly degraded rails, for example, risking derailments. Even if our nation's infrastructure is ever renovated someday, the shipping containers themselves will remain vulnerable to severe accidents and terrorist attacks, which could release catastrophic amounts of hazardous radioactivity, as in a densely populated urban area. Even so-called 'routine' or 'incident-free' shipments are like mobile X-ray machines that can't be turned off, in terms of the hazardous emissions of gamma and neutron radiation, dosing innocent passersby, as well as transport workers."
Kamps' group said it expects Holtec's project in New Mexico will receive NRC approval next year. The New Mexico site would have capacity to store 173,600 metric tons of irradiated fuel, in addition to the initial 40,000 metric tons in Texas.
"The NRC never should have even considered these applications, because they blatantly violate the federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act by assuming that the federal government will take responsibility for the waste before a permanent repository is licensed and operating," said Diane Curran, an attorney for Beyond Nuclear, among the groups that brought the suits. "Licensing the ISP and Holtec facilities would defeat Congress' purpose of ensuring that nuclear waste generated by U.S. reactors will go to a deep geologic repository, rather than to vulnerable surface facilities that may become permanent nuclear waste dumps."
Political Fight
Politicians have fought for years over where to store the spent fuel from U.S. nuclear power plants, and nuclear waste from other sites. Federal lawmakers in 1987 designated Yucca Mountain in Nevada, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, as a national repository, but opposition to the plan—led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat—halted the project.
President Barack Obama in 2009 ended funding for the plan. The Trump administration initially supported reviving the Yucca Mountain project, before reversing course early in 2020. The Biden administration also opposes any storage at the Nevada site.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm during her confirmation hearing before Congress earlier this year told lawmakers "The administration opposes the use of Yucca Mountain for the storage of nuclear waste. It is clearly a very sticky situation and we have to maybe look at what the Blue Ribbon Commission did on this, which was to engage with some consensus strategies that will allow us to determine where that waste will go."
The Blue Ribbon Commission was formed during the Obama administration to conduct a comprehensive review of policies for managing spent nuclear fuel, and recommend strategies for storage of nuclear waste. Granholm has said Biden administration officials want to work with congressional and state leaders to reach a consensus on the issue.
Nuclear energy experts have said that moving spent nuclear fuel to the sites in Texas and New Mexico would mean shipments would take place across 44 states.
Texas lawmakers were firm in their opposition to the ISP site, passing a bill that would ban disposal or storage of high-level radioactive waste in the state. State senators voted unanimously against the ISP plan, and the bill—which directs the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to deny state permits to the ISP project—passed the Texas House by a vote of 119-3. Gov. Abbott signed the bill into law last week.
Texas congressional representatives also have written letters to the NRC expressing opposition.

There are times in our design lives when we have to seek help from colleagues and associates. Whether it's a technique or resource to help get things done, we have a circle of people that we trust. Students especially have to let go of their apprehension and be able to trust the teacher. Only then are they able to learn.
If at any time that apprehension comes back, we no longer are able to learn. Walls are built up and the teacher's expertise is questioned. This concept of trust is earned and respected. This only comes with time and experience.
There are no shortcuts to trust. Our personal and professional networks are built based on trust. Relationships are built on trust. We need trust in our lives to contribute to the well-being of our society. Please don't confuse promises with trust though.
Place your trust in people and organizations that have a track record worthy of your standards. Vice versa, you have to have a track record of standards as well.
Designers need that trust in all that we do, from our tools to our associates. We trust because we are willing to accept the risk, not because it's safe or certain.

Clemens gets more time to prep for trial
Jose de Jesus Ortiz
For almost two years, former Sen. George Mitchell's investigators traveled the country looking into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Once Mitchell's report for Major League Baseball implicated former Astro Roger Clemens and several other prominent players, Congress went digging some more.
On Wednesday, Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, vowed to do his own digging to uncover evidence. The Mitchell commission is claiming attorney-client and attorney work-product privileges. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has retained some evidence by claiming the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches.
Some attorneys predict that both will ultimately have to turn over evidence once Hardin files a subpoena for the material in question.
"I think that Clemens is going to be able to get information in that there's no separation of powers in this particular case," said former federal prosecutor Philip Hilder, who represented Enron whistle-blower Sherron Watkins in congressional hearings. "If this evidence is deemed to be exculpatory or favorable to them, then the government, regardless of branch, has the ethical obligation to turn (it) over."
During a status hearing Wednesday in Washington, federal Judge Reggie Walton granted Hardin's request for a three-month trial postponement from April until July. The delay allows Hardin to examine 54,000 pages of discovery material provided by prosecutors.
In August, a federal grand jury indicted Clemens on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of Congress, putting the seven-time Cy Young Award winner in danger of a $1.5 million fine and a maximum 30-year prison sentence.
Based on the Mitchell report, which came at the request of MLB commissioner Bud Selig, and Clemens' decision to deny its claims that he used performance-enhancing drugs, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held hearings. Once Clemens repeated his denials at a hearing in February 2008, Congress ultimately asked the Justice Department to investigate whether he perjured himself, which ultimately led to multiple indictments in August.
If the Mitchell commission shared information with the committee, its claims of attorney-client and attorney work-product privileges could be compromised, making the information in question available to Hardin.
"If the Mitchell investigators shared information with the congressional investigators or staff," Hilder said, "then any privilege would be waived and Mr. Clemens would be entitled (to the material)."
The congressional committee's separation-of-powers stance might stand on thin ice as well, according to Hilder and Dallas-based defense attorney Barry Sorrels, who has represented NFL and NBA players.
"As far as separations between the congressional committee and the prosecution, the line is pretty thin," Sorrels said. "And it's going to take a judge to decide if it exists at all."
The postponement means that Clemens' case would start four months after Barry Bonds' scheduled March perjury trial, which also centers around use of performance-enhancing drugs.

La mano di Dio (36 x 80 x 58 cm) è una scultura in marmo creata da Auguste Rodin verso il 1898, esposta a Parigi nel Musée Rodin.

Descrizione

Soggetto
Rodin rivoluzionò il mondo della scultura disorientando pubblico e critici. In molte opere, compresa questa, accostava parti ben definite con parti appena sbozzate e volutamente incompiute. In questa opera vi è rappresentata una grande mano, la mano di Dio, che plasma due figure, Adamo ed Eva. I due corpi, molto piccoli, nella grande mano di Dio stanno a simboleggiare come gli esseri umani sono direttamente e fragilmente legati alla volontà di Dio.

Tecnica
La figura non è ben rifinita, i corpi sembrano prendere vita e staccarsi dalla materia sotto i nostri occhi. In alcuni punti il marmo presenta il segno degli attrezzi: nel basamento Rodin ha lasciato i buchi creati dallo scalpello e sul capo e sulla schiena di Adamo si vedono le tracce degli strumenti di lavoro.

Lessons from a creative entrepreneur: To fail is to know the measure of our greatness
When Sarah Van Aken decided to shutter her contemporary, socially conscious fashion brand SA VA in 2013 after four years, she did so with a transparency, candor and even celebration perhaps unheard of in the industry. There were press releases to the media in which she spoke frankly of her challenges raising capital and equally forthcoming interviews where she acknowledged the personal sacrifices made in pursuit of success. She invited customers new and old to an impressive blow-out sale and cleared the way for fresh energy in her life with a farewell party in honor of all she'd achieved.
If Van Aken was going to make her exit, she was going to do it on her own terms.
The fashion designer, speaker and social entrepreneur, who has a fine arts degree from the University of Delaware, had launched her career in the apparel industry in 2005, designing custom shirts. Less than 10 years later, she had become one of Philadelphia's most prominent entrepreneurs, celebrated for her commitment to sustainable business practices, philanthropic investment in the local community and the kind of spirited flair that made her annual fashion shows — giant block parties that shut down a segment of the city's Sansom Street — an anticipated event. Two years before she very publicly called it quits, Van Aken won the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
Today, she is the chief operating officer and president of Kathy Davis Studios, a lifestyle and social expressions brand. But she has never bemoaned her defeat at the helm of SA VA.
Here, Van Aken shares what she's learned from failure, as a gift and transformational agent:
So often as a leader I am asked to speak about accomplishments and successes. I am fortunate that there have been many, but it's much more interesting to me to talk about what didn't work: the "F" word – "Failure."
To be a leader, especially to be an entrepreneur, you have to live full-out. There is no half-way about it. You have to take risks, face fears and face failure.
Many of us go through life afraid to fail. As a young entrepreneur, it seemed a fate worse than death. Inevitably, you will fail at something, likely many things. Sometimes you fail at the little things and sometimes they are big things.
But I assure you, if you dare to lead, dare to follow your passion, you will at some point fail. And it's a beautiful thing. There have been many times that I have stood on the precipice of epic failure. Each and every time I persevered, I found a way through. It wasn't always easy. But, if you can get over the agony, the upset, the anxiety, the fear — if you can get over your ego — you can find your greatness in failure.
Here are some things I know to be true about failure:
Failure is just a change of plans: Things simply don't ever go as planned. It's not unique to me or to you. What you write in a business plan is not how it is going to happen. You have to stand clear in your principles and integrity but remain agile and adaptable. When things don't work the way you expected, take the high road, face what's hard and change course to achieve your objectives.
Failure is possibility: When you stand on the precipice of epic failure, there is just as much of a chance of success. That's the nature of a precipice. So in the moment, if you act from a place of authenticity, if you do what's right and don't get attached to the outcome you create possibility. And if you were to fail, there will be learning in that. What you learn from that failure ultimately makes it possible to be successful.
Failure creates opportunity: There is great opportunity in failure. So often our definition of success is directly linked to an expected outcome. Our self-judgment is based on this achievement — on something external. If you can shift away from the outcome and measure your success in terms of who you show up as in every situation, it can open up opportunities for personal growth. You can develop relationships that last through hard times, and in keeping things in perspective and keeping your eye on what matters most, you may achieve your ultimate goal.

When I started my fashion business, I wanted to be great. I used to identify my greatness by achieving the ultimate in success — positive reviews in the best fashion magazines, a high valuation for my business. When that wasn't enough, it transitioned to having a positive impact on the community and the environment. As I grew with my business, that also changed. If you can begin to judge yourself on your integrity in every situation — and I don't just mean the definition of integrity that is about being honest and fair, but the full definition that says integrity is the state of being whole or complete — greatness is reached by always acting with integrity
To feel authentic, to feel good about yourself, like you did the right thing — there is a matter of being "complete" with something. It's doing everything that you could or should do to honor yourself and others in any situation, keeping relationships, facing what's hard and knowing that there is a way to maintain your values and self-worth through difficult situations.
Your failures will be what helps you along that road to success.

In my last blogpost I talked about EI and IQ in general. Now is time to talk how to be successful and survive in today's society.
To be successful and survive in today's society, individuals need to have the necessary communication and organizational skills to make sound decisions and interact with each other. Goleman argues that an individual's success at work is 80 percent dependent on the emotional quotient and only 20 percent dependent on intelligence quotient. This is because EQ components are useful in assisting employees with decision-making in areas like teamwork, inclusion, productivity, and communication.
Furthermore, good listening habits and skills are integral components of EQ, and carry the elements of self-awareness and control, empathy and social expertness. When a manager at AT&T Bell Labs was asked to rank his top performing engineers, high IQ was not the deciding factor, but instead how the person performed regarding the answering of e-mails, how good they were at collaborating and networking with colleagues, and their popularity with others in order to achieve the cooperation required to attain the goals. This is just one example of the benefits of high EQ regarding communication skills, time management, teamwork, leadership skills and business acumen. After all, we've often heard of the "genius" with no personality, and the brilliant surgeon with a horrible bed-side manner.
75 percent are more likely to promote an employee with a high EQ over one with a high IQ.
Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder, cites today's competitive job market as a reason employers are focusing more on emotional intelligence when it comes to hiring.
"In a recovering economy, employers want people who can effectively make decisions in stressful situations and can empathize with the needs of their colleagues and clients to deliver the best results," Haefner says in a statement for the survey's press release.
What do you think of these findings? Do you place a higher emphasis on emotional intelligence than on IQ? What is the X factor for professional success?

Where the Wildflowers Grow: Kensington Palace goes back to nature
Lydia Starbuck
Desk Editor
A King's last journey
A Look at the Spanish Line of Succession
It's the hashtag to have this summer and now the royals are part of the craze, too. England is awash with wildflowers as the sun reaches its height with everywhere from motorway verges to public parks going for the natural look. And now Kensington Palace has shared its own take with a celebration of its wildflower meadow for 2019.
A team from Historic Royal Palaces has been working through the winter to create this year's display at the London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family. Now it's reached full bloom, they're keen to share the prettiness of the petals. Amongst the long grasses dotting the meadow are campions, daisies, poppies and other native flowers including ragged robin.

Wildflower meadows are increasingly popular as they support pollinators like bees and provide an ecological support system for wildlife that can be vital in big cities like London. The team at HRP say the bee population there has doubled since the wildflowers began to bloom and is now even talking about introducing hives to the area.
The meadow began life almost a year ago with initial plans taking shape in September 2018. It was then that HRP brought in shire horses to cut down the long grass that was growing in the area identified for the wildflower meadow. Wildflower seeds can struggle to find space in the natural environment with grasses and weeds often crowding them out so a lot of work went into getting the land ready for the new meadow. The seeds were sown in April and new paths were also created in the area to give more access to the flowers which are now in full bloom.
The wildflower meadow is part of an ongoing development programme for the Kensington Palace gardens which began in 2012. From the very start of that project, there was a focus on 'giving back to nature' and HRP says the new wildflower meadow provides a contrast to the formal spaces at the royal residence including the famous Sunken Garden.
Visitors will be able to enjoy the flowers as part of a visit to Kensington Palace.

Limo Communism
Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman once owed by Communist Party commander Chen Yi goes to auction
Communist and dictators are amongst the well-known to have purchased Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman limousines and one fine example is about to go to auction with Bonhams on 12th July in their Stuttgart sale.
1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman
The opulent interior of the car
Having a guide price of £120,000 to £200,000, this 1965 car was imported by the Chinese government from West Germany for the use of China's Foreign Minister, Chen Yi, one of the military leaders of the Chinese Communist Revolution and a close associate of Mao Zedong.
After Chen Yi's death in 1972, the limousine was given to the government-owned Shanghai car plant with a plan that it would serve as a template for a Chinese-produced version. The ensuing Cultural Revolution forced the abandonment of that plan and the vehicle was left in storage until the 1980s.
In due course a German engineer who worked for Volkswagen Shanghai named Hans Luwich discovered the vehicle and shipped it back to Germany in 1993. He titled the car in 1998 and sold it to the Netherlands earlier this year.
With a current odometer reading of just 21,160 kilometres and having never been restored, this fine vehicle is described as being presented in "good running and driving condition".

Physician (Legal Medicine)
Taxonomy Code 209800000X
Classification: Legal Medicine
Quick Links : Map of Physicians (Legal Medicine) per State | Number of Physicians (Legal Medicine) per State
Legal Medicine is a special field of medicine that focuses on various aspects of medicine and law. Historically, the practice of legal medicine made contributions to medicine as a scientific instrument to solve criminal perplexities. Since World War II, the domain of legal medicine has broadened to include not only aspects of medical science to solve legal and criminal problems but aspects of law as it applies to medicine. Legal Medicine continues to grow as medicolegal issues like medical malpractice and liability, government regulation of health care, issues of tort reform, and moral and ethical complexities presented by technological advances become increasingly prominent. Many medical schools have implemented courses which supply medicolegal instruction for medical students, and many law schools now offer medicolegal courses. Also, dual degree programs in law and medicine have been created to assist physicians to bridge the gap between medicine and the law.

Weight loss is one of the most sought after problem today which increasing numbers of people are seeking advice and consultation every day. There are literally thousands of products and devices available in the market which promise to help you lose weight, sometimes, even with unbelievably drastic results. Most of these are not scientifically proven yet more and more people tend to get mired into buying such fraudulent weight loss products and ay also suffer more than monetary loss in certain cases, leading to serious health complications and side effects.
There are several trusted weight loss products out there which are efficient in helping to shed excess fat and lose weight. There are certain herbal as well as medicinal weight loss supplements that are proven to work effectively yet the doctor's advice should always be sought before using any form of over-the-counter weight loss supplements.
The various weight loss supplements contain a few common substances but may vary in the ingredients used majorly which is different for different product. It is important to note that any of these substances might lead to complications in case there are certain factors in play.
Basically, almost all of these weight loss supplements work by either suppressing the appetite as well as speeding up the rate of metabolism in the user. The suppressing of the appetite tends to decrease the amount of food intake in a normal supper sitting. This automatically reduces the amount of any more excess calorie intake and helps to burn the excess calories in the body at the same time.
The other major function of an ideal weight loss supplement is to speed up the rate of metabolism in the body. This works to increase the rate of digestion of the food. It helps to convert the food faster into nutrients and calories which is then used by the various parts of the body sooner. The faster rate of metabolism prevents the body from accumulating excess deposits of fat. This fat is accumulated mostly due to the slower metabolism which is seen in many people and the ideal weight supplement will fasten up the metabolism.
There are certain ingredients used in weight loss supplement products that might not be suitable for everybody. In case you are suffering from specific underlying medical conditions then certain weight loss supplements might have an adverse effect on your body and cause complications to develop.
Weight loss supplements are not usually advised in case you are suffering from a serious heart ailment or if you have any other major medical condition, such as arthritis, kidney problems, digestion (gastric) issues, etc as these conditions can get aggravated due to certain ingredients in major weight loss products. Most heart ailments and digestive problems tend to get increased with the ill-advised use of weight loss supplements.
It is best advised to seek a professional medical advice before using any of the over-the-counter weight loss supplements available as an experienced medical doctor will be able to suggest the best-suited weight loss supplement in your particular case.

Two interesting new Charter cases have emerged from that hotbed of Charter lip service, VCAT. But I can only talk about one of them!
One party, TGM Investments, is described as being represented by 'Mr D Anthony, Solicitor'. So, the result is that the other party, Mr Rosenfield, is entitled to be represted by a 'professional advocate'. The issue in this case is whether Rosenfield is entitled to be represented by his advocate of choice, a 'Mr J Foster of Counsel'.
The problem is that Foster represented TGM three years ago in another retail tenancies matter. Moreover, it even involved the same 'building' (though not the same bit of the building.) The issue was raised between the parties during settlement negotations and TGM weren't bothered, but it seems that that agreement has fallen apart. TGM has asked for Foster to be booted off Rosenfield's case.
VCAT Senior Member Damien Cremean – who taught in a subject I coordinated here at Melbourne Law School last semester (hi Damien!) – granted TGM's request. His main ground involved the risk (denied by Foster) that Foster might be privy to some sort of secrets gained from his service to TGM and that Foster may (for that or other reasons) be unable to meet the requirement of 'purity of interest in the adversaries' that Cremean suggested was required by VCAT's statutory provisions demanding that its proceedings be conducted fairly. Personally, I have never been impressed by the view that lawyers somehow become affiliated to a party simply by representing them. It's a view that simultaneously overvalues the service lawyers offer while denigrating their supposed professionalism. The confidential information issue is, by contrast, a real one, but it surely requires something a bit more solid than straight-out speculation.
I am concerned with the outward perception of the performance of the Tribunal's duty under the Act particularly s97. The duty to act fairly could be seen to be compromised if I allowed a member of Counsel to appear against a client for which he previously acted not very long ago. The perception could be that he might have available to him or her information given in confidence and might, unwittingly, use it. This is especially so when the factual contexts in both cases are not dissimilar. It is important also to note the fair hearing right given by s24 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. I do not consider it proper in the circumstances to allow Mr Foster to appear.
A classic passing mention, in that it doesn't pay much attention to such niceties as the relevant operational provisions and any compelling comparative law judgments. Interestingly, Cremean's argument – which notably only seems to focus on the fair hearing rights of TGM – seems to be in breach of Charter s. 6(1), which says that only human beings have human rights and specifically denies them to corporations like TGM. I'm no fan of Charter s. 6(1), especially in this context, but its effect does seem to be that, at least under the Charter, it's Rosenfield's fair hearing right that should have been promoted (with TGM's and VCAT's interests demoted to a factor in a Charter s. 7(2) or Charter s. 38(2) analysis.) Oops.
Alas, there has been at least one more VCAT judgment on the Charter in recent times that goes way beyond a passing mention, raising a novel and interesting question about the requirements of Charter s. 33 , some familiar but interesting questions about the continued status of McMahon v Gould in light of the Charter, and does a reasonable, if not ultimately satisfying job, at grappling seriously with the operative provisions. Indeed, I've written a lengthy post of nearly 4000 words on the case and had it ready to go as soon as the judgment appeared publicly on Austlii. Alas, when I got a little tired of waiting for it to appear and inquired with VCAT about whether there was some sort of problem, I got a response late yesterday that – strangely, just yesterday! – President Bell issued an order suppressing the judgment – and any 'disclosure or publication' of it – until next month, except for the purposes of the parties who might wish to appeal. Was that my fault?


Gardaí are seeking public assistance to help trace the whereabouts of 22 year old Naas man Trevor Deely who has been missing since 8th December 2000. A new appeal has been issued for information in relation to his disappearance. The 22-year-old man went missing in Dublin ten years ago this month. An age progression image of how he might look today (left) was also released.
Trevor had attended his Christmas party on the night he went missing. Shortly after 3.30am he left Buck Whaley's night Club on Leeson St. to return to his place of work at Baggot Street. He met a man at the back gate of the building whom Gardaí have yet to identify. Gardaí would like this man to come forward and help them with their enquiries.
Trevor is originally from Naas but residing in the Dublin area. He was last seen at Haddington Road in the city on the 8th December, wearing a yellow and brown shirt and beige cord trousers. He is described at 6ft in height, of slim build with short red/blonde hair and green eyes.
Investigating Gardaí: Pearse Street. Telephone 01 666 9000 or any Garda Station.

Forza and Fable 4 studio co-founder departs after 13 years
Playground Games' co-founder and lead developer Gavin Raeburn has exited the studio.
As spotted by Windows Central, Gavin Raeburn, who helped co-found Playground Games over a decade ago in 2009, has departed the studio. Raeburn is replaced as studio head by Trevor Williams, who was one of the original co-founders of the developer alongside Raeburn in 2009.
You might now associate Playground Games with the prolific Forza series on Xbox consoles and PC, and that makes sense given Raeburn's background. The veteran developer spent time pioneering the likes of the Dirt and Grid racing game franchises before departing Codemasters to establish Playground.
Microsoft confirmed Raeburn's departure, and Williams' promotion to studio head, in a statement to Windows Central earlier today. "After 12 years working on five award-winning Forza Horizon games, Gavin Raeburn is leaving Playground Games as Studio Director," the statement read. "Co-founder Trevor Williams will transition from General Manager to Studio Head effective immediately."
With post-launch support for Forza Horizon 5 continuing at Playground Games, Williams is also now overseeing development of the hotly-anticipated Fable 4. The reboot for Microsoft's beloved saga was officially announced after much rumor and speculation nearly two years ago in 2020, but we've seen nothing of the reboot since then. All we know is that it's in development at Playground, will use the same game engine as Forza Motorsport, and is a fair way off from launching.

First trailer for Valerian and the city of a Thousand Planets has arrived

Spider-Gwen features in latest Into the Spider-Ver...
Jared Leto reportedly getting Joker spin-off movie
An interesting new movie trailer dropped last night - Valerian and the city of a Thousand Planets. Adapted from the French comics of Pierre Christin (Empire of a Thousand Planets), the film enlists the talents of Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Lucy), along with the acting chops of Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and rising model turned actress Cara Delevigne (Suicide Squad).
While the film is fill to the brim with action, we actually no very little about the storyline. What can be inferred, however, is that DeHaan will be playing the titular character, and the likely hero of the piece. Other than that, how closely it will stick to the original source material remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, it's the special effects and CGI that garners the most attention in this trailer, which leads us to believe the film could go one of two ways. Furthermore, Besson's films have received mixed reactions in years gone past, with 2014's Lucy being a prime example. For now, we'll hold off judgement until more trailers and information arrive, and allow you to enjoy the trailer below.

Trying to expand my readership, I've asked another friend from the blogger world to let me post on their site. Mr. 1500 from www.1500days.com is someone I first met at FINCON. We crossed paths again at Chautauqua attending on separate weeks. Super-cool guy with a great website.
I grew up in Southern California. I remember thinking about buying real estate as a kid. I was twelve years old. I thought if I could buy a house then, I would be able to sell it when I was eighteen and have enough money for a car! I was always fascinated by how fast real estate appreciated in certain places, especially near the beach.
Real estate is tricky for me. I'm in the military, which means I move every two to three years. Ten of the last sixteen years I've been overseas, including currently.
What kind of real estate investor moves every two to three years?
I've found a way to make it work for me. Over the past three years, I've purchased several buy-and-hold rental properties with cash. The income they provide has made me financially independent. Most of these purchases have been made from overseas.
