There are cycles to everything. In my studio, the cycle of production of works of art follows a pretty set pattern.
We build and make all of our substrates – from the small plein air panels with linen to large scale works. My wonderful husband/carpenter designed a perfect frame that allows for a quality finished piece that will stand up to the stretch that a good piece of linen will give. I'm very lucky.
Blank linens, stretched and ready to go.
All of those works require four major steps – sizing, and three layers of gesso, all individually sanded and prepared to give a smooth finish that can't be done in a factory. It takes a long time, but is best done in "batches" of a few at a time in order to maintain an efficient workflow in the studio and the workshop. It's messy and tedious, repetitive work – so if we are cleaning up for one, I might as well be cleaning up for 10! This means that for a couple of weeks at a time, I'm not painting – just getting my substrates all ready to go so that I can paint. But I am thinking about painting! I'm ITCHING to be painting. It's actually a great thoughtful and reflective process that allows me to slow down a bit and thinking through some of the concepts for later execution.
I look at those spaces, that blank canvas and imagine what will go on them. Sometimes I have an idea ahead of time and prepare the custom stretcher just for the piece. Sometimes I work up a few certain sizes that are working for me, relative to subject matter and medium. We try to keep those in stock. I also make up a few oddballs so that I can have things ready when the creative spirit hits me. There's nothing worse than having to wait for a linen to be made. I can take up to a week to prep one of those, if it has to be done on it's own.
I'm prepping for my current residency at The Banff Centre to create the works for Haida Gwaii, a few more pieces for my CAMP exhibition in January, and now for a following residency in the Leighton Artist's Colony at The Banff Centre in January 2013.
That's a lot of painting – the more that I can think ahead for what I'll need, the more efficient I am in getting everything prepared, the ideas articulated and the works created. Workflow is what it's all about.
An artist needs to be prepared for just about anything. When the creative spirit strikes, don't be caught with your canvas down!

A Sunny Day of X-C Skiing at Palmer Woods
By Paul Baumbusch, Trail Genius on Mar. 06, 2019
I'll be candid. This was to be my first time ever cross-country skiing. But I knew exactly where I wanted to go, because it's where all the cool kids (i.e. my friends, of course) go for X-C skiing (which is what the cool kids call it). Palmer Woods.
By Paul Baumbusch | Trail Genius
I awakened with a childlike feeling of adventure and anticipation. Then I looked out the window. The snow and wind were going absolutely nuts. Drat. I'd been hoping for some crisp blue skies. My roommate loaned me a pair of Patagonia long johns and chuckled as I was suiting up to leave. "Good luck out there in the blizzard, Shackleton!"
"If I'm not back in 3 hours, call the police," I grumbled, only half-jokingly. I also told him where I was going, so that the rescue crews would know where to search for my frozen remains.
But as I was headed toward Glen Arbor on M-22, something miraculous happened. The snow calmed down…the blustery winds subsided…and slowly the clouds parted, giving way to that most precious of sights for sore eyes: Michigan-blue sky. Just the thought of a sunny day in winter makes me a bit emotional. Winter sunshine is the ultimate relief, and relief is the ultimate pleasure. On such days, you can feel the conviviality and lightheartedness in the air. Everyone is in a better mood.
To gear up, I visited Coastal, a new retail store in Glen Arbor which also rents recreational equipment throughout the winter. I was surprised to see my friend Lynette Rouzer working there. (A peninsula is a small world!) Lynette was very helpful in picking out the right skis, boots, and poles for me, and she taught me some basics, like "When your left ski goes forward, your right pole goes forward." As I was leaving, she flashed a sunny smile and said "And don't forget…Just glide." Glide? Yeah, right. I'll be lucky if I'm not face-down in the snow every ten seconds, I thought to myself.
Palmer Woods
Palmer Woods Forest Reserve is about a 10-minute drive from Glen Arbor and the Dunes. At 721 acres, it's the largest natural area belonging to the Leelanau Conservancy, a 501 (c) 3 organization that, per their mission statement, endeavors to conserve the "land, water, and scenic character of Leelanau County." While many visitors to Leelanau are familiar with the majestic trails of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, fewer may know about the Conservancy's many serene natural areas – each one unique, each with its own charms, and each free to visit! I always tell people that experiencing a Conservancy property for the first time is like uncorking a special bottle of wine.
In addition to its trail system for hiking and winter recreation, visitors to Palmer Woods may now also enjoy a brand-new three-mile mountain bike trail, which the conservancy calls the "first public, flow-style mountain bike trail in Leelanau"…as though there weren't enough ways to have fun in the county already.
Meeting me in the parking lot was Emily Douglas and her partner, Blaise. Emily is a plant biology expert and the Conservancy's Land Steward. An ideal Sherpa if ever there was one! Our mutual friend Sara connected us. (I told you…Small world up here.) Before we set off, Emily warned me "Just so you know, it's not personal, but I always laugh when people fall." I would laugh at me too, I thought.
We started out on the mile-long Loop Trail. Though Palmer Woods is regularly groomed for X-C skiing by the wonderful volunteer organization Friends of Sleeping Bear, the trails hadn't yet been groomed following the latest snowfall. But there were fresh skier-set tracks, so we were able to coast along nicely. Somehow, I was keeping my balance! And I even zoomed down the first little hill without falling! This perhaps made me too cocky, for when Emily mentioned that my friend Sara had advised her to keep me on the easy trails, I bristled and insisted we take the intermediate North Loop trail rather than continuing on the easy Loop Trail (so that I could boast to Sara afterward and give her a hard time).
And…yeah…On that loop, I toppled into deep snow half a dozen times. And yeah, Emily laughed. Heartily.
Along the way, Emily pointed out some trail highlights, including a towering old hemlock and a relatively rare golden birch, the bark of which has a metallic sheen. At one point she stopped and said "Sometimes I like to stand still in the forest and just listen." Right at that moment, a wind whooshed through the forest, as though summoned by Emily, sending sparkling snow floating down from the tree branches like glitter.
Sunshine, streaming through the trees, was interrupted only by passing fluffy clouds. The blazing blue of the sky, the deep greens and browns of the forest, the pure gleaming white of the snow and the clouds, the crunch of poles in the snow and the hypnotic swish-swish sound of the skis…I was starting to understand why the cool kids love this sport. And I was finding my rhythm. And for a few stretches of the trail, I was doing what I never thought possible, awkward clumsy bloke that I am. I was gliding.

Q: Can anyone help me to provide a link that provides the designing of memory unit and control unit by using Finite State Machines in VHDL? Can anyone please help me to provide a link that provides the designing of memory unit and control unit by using Finite State Machines in VHDL?
I need to design the architecture of a circuit.
Many Thanks!

A: There is a lot of online resources that can help you. For example here:
architecture style_87 of memory is
begin
memory:
process (cs)
    -----------------------
    variable ram : ram_type;
    -----------------------
    variable address : natural;
    begin
        if rising_edge(cs) then
            address := sulv_to_natural(add_in);
            if (mwrite = '1') then
                 ram(address) := data_in;
            end if;
            data_out <= ram(address);
        end if;
    end process;
end style_87;

Or here:
process(currentstate, a)
begin
    b <= '1';
    c <= '1';
    case currentstate is
        when s1 =>
            if (a = '1') then
                c <= '0';
            end if;

            nextstate <= s2;

        when s2 =>
            -- b doesnt change state from s1 to here, do I need to define what it is here?
            if (a /= '1') then
            c <= '0';
        end if;

        nextstate <= s3;

    when s3 =>
        if (a = '1') then
            b <= '0';
            c <= '0';
        end if;

        nextstate <= s1;
    end case;
end process;

I'm sure you can Google a lot of other examples by yourself.

Arriving on Collector's Edition Blu-ray this week is Cheech Marin's 1987 comedy, "Born in East L.A.", which he wrote, directed and starred in. This was Marin's first solo film without his partner, Tommy Chong. It has been three decades since my last viewing of "Born in East L.A." and truthfully, I couldn't remember if I enjoyed the film when it was first released. As a kid, I did like the Cheech & Chong movies, but they haven't aged well. After revisiting "Born in East L.A." I can see why it never stuck with me. The film was way too sweet for an 80's comedy starring Marin. Not that sweet is a bad thing, but it didn't mesh well with the tone of everything.
For those of you who are fans of "Born in East L.A.", Shout! Factory had delivered a solid release. Not only do you get the theatrical release, but you also get the extended cut that was shown on television (standard definition). Also, new interviews with Marin as well as co-stars Kamala Lopez and Paul Rodriguez. If those additions are to your liking, then you may want to ad "Born in East L.A." to your collection.

Daniel J. Flore III is the author of 3 collections of poetry- Lapping Water, Humbled Wise Men Christmas Haikus, and Home and other places I've yet to see. All three are from GenZ Publishing and available on Amazon.
I started writing poetry in lieu of paying attention during Geometry and English class in high school.
My very first introduction to poetry was learning about Edgar Allan Poe in grade school.
I've encountered a lot of egos in poetry which was intimidating at first but I did have some mentors who helped me a great deal and were genuinely good people too.
Some days I do a full to do list of everything in my writing I'd like to get done, other days I find that too constricting and I just see what happens and what I come up with.
Emotions, anything I find interesting or different.
I'm a workaholic actually. Poetry is hard work and can be exhausting.I try hard to get a good poem or a good recitation. So my work ethic is pretty strong.
They are huge. They're my heroes. People like Salinger, Hemingway, Kerouac. Their work stays with me and continues to inspire me.
Jeff Weddle, Jenn Zedd, Tom Riordan, Paul Brookes, KW Peery, Mary Deweese, to name a few. These are people that keep me interested. It's so easy in contemporary poetry to just tune out from boredom. At least for me it is. But these poets and some others continue to impress me and keep me awed.
To create the best poetry I can.
Write something really original down, as soon as you do that you don't need to become a writer, you are one.
My latest poetry collection, Home And Other Places I've Yet To See, was just released by GenZ Publishing. I have been recording a lot of poems and a couple more collections (Pink Marigold Rays, 2019) and (The Meaning of a Sigh, poems of the U.S.A. 2020) are forthcoming from GenZ Publishing. I will be hitting the bookstores again soon too, to do some readings.

We also spent the first 3 days of the week in Sogod again because we had another LTM (leadership trainers meeting). We had a small amount of training and then we just practiced role-playing a specific part of a lesson. We spent like 6 hours the first day just practicing and evaluating. Wheew.
Next week we also have a one day mission planned where all the members can come with us and we'll all go out and find people in this area called San Miguel. There are no members in that area, so the branch presidency was thinking we could try getting some investigators over there too.
We went to visit one investigator family called the Graciano family. We met them as we were going to someone else's house so we asked if we could teach them. I've been on and off visiting them for 3 months. The kids are mostly the ones who join in, the mom rarely comes. And so we were thinking of dropping them because they don't really progress and the parents aren't really involved in the lessons. So we were going to give them one more chance (again!) and their daughter, Israelita gave the opening prayer. In her prayer she said: I'm so glad that the Sisters come even if it rains or its hot. And I'm glad they come because I get to learn a lot. And I hope that they keep coming. Afterward the lesson, Sister Christianson and I talked to each other and we both said: OKAY! Is that a sign Heavenly Father that we're supposed to come back!? We just laughed at how that one turned out. I just hope Heavenly Father continues to guide us.
We've also been going around this week and making appointments with all the part member families that I can think of. Some of the recent converts, like Juliet, are really freaked out that we're going to be teaching their family! I just hope that it will all turn out well.
The Old Testament is kinda weird. haha.
We get about 8000 pesos, which is 175 dollars or so a month for food/transportation/personal supplies.
We have a baptism scheduled this week! The JohnPaul that I told you about. :) He's been really excited for his baptism. What I really love about it is that he UNDERSTANDS what we teach him. I've taught so many people who just don't understand. We teach about the Restoration and Joseph Smith and then our investigator just say things like: Yeah, pray. In my first area, we taught one mother of a family about the power of God/Priesthood and I asked her why is the Priesthood important? And I swear, she looked me straight in the eye and said "Pagampo!" (Which means pray) Anyway, JohnPaul is great! I asked him why he wanted to be baptized, and he said: I want to follow Christ. :) Doesn't that just make your heart melt?
We watched General Conference this weekend and it was great! For some reason, the last two general conferences, I've just really liked the Saturday morning session the best. :) I think both of us were expecting another hell-fire sermon of sorts from Elder Holland, and so we were surprised when he just started in on how thankful he was for EVERYTHING. We still liked it very much though. President Monson had a very similar talk too.
We have a very good new investigator named AnnAnn. She is such a funny mom. All her worries that she tells us about are the same worries as moms back home. I told her last time that all the moms across the globe are united in their worries. She just laughed. She has come to church once and read a little bit already. But she is the first investigator that I've heard say: Wow. Families are really important to Mormons. She's seen the pictures in the pamphlets and listened to the Relief Society lesson about reverence and to teach reverence to children, and she just repeats to herself: Wow. They're really focused on families.
We also have another LTM (leadership training meeting) so we're going to be on the other side of Leyte for two days. Wow!
I just realized that I've been in Cebuano areas for 10 months now!
Well, I love you all. I miss you all too. Till we meet again.
Whats Brazo de Mercedes? I haven't seen it yet here. There's a Goldilocks here (that Filipino cake store that's in Cerritos) in the city where the stake center is. Maybe they sell it there.
How's my car treating you?
Mao ra gihapon! We've taught a lot of new people this week because Sis Christianson wants to talk to everyone. It's good in that we have a lot of appointments, but its bad if you can only meet with someone once a week because of the other appointments. Ideally, you should visit your investigators 3 times a week.
We watch General conference one week after it broadcasts in America. So you've all gotten to hear it, but we're going to hear it this Saturday and Sunday. I'm glad you didn't spoil any good surprises from conference. :P But next week, I'd love to hear about what you loved about Conference.
Sometimes I wonder why I was sent to this area. Not because I doubt or anything but because I wonder WHO is it that I am supposed to be helping? WHO is the person/people that are waiting specifically for ME to be their missionary? Sometimes I wonder.
Recently I was reading through some of the talks from last conference and the thought entered into my mind: This is living scripture! This is from a living prophet. I'm really excited to watch General Conference.


Welcome to the knitting genius bar! This is where you can have all your beginner knitting questions answered. Gather offers beginner knitting classes and also sells knitting kits (coming soon). This page is a great resource for those who are knitting at home and want to see how something is done in real life!
There are a billion knitting patterns out there in the universe; some are hard and some are super easy! Here you will learn the basic stitches which will set you up to be able to succeed with just about any pattern. Once you learn these basics, the more complicated stitches and patterns will make a lot more sense!
To get started with your project, begin with your knitting needles and your yarn. The first step is to tie a slip knot that you will eventually place on the needle.
Start with the yarn in your hand and leave a long tail off to the side. Depending on how many stitches you are casting on, you might want it to be longer or shorter.
You'll tie a slip knot by bringing the yarn in the right hand under the yarn in the left hand so that the yarn crosses. Secure the loop with your left hand and hold it where the yarn crosses. Reach your fingers through the loop and grab the tail of the yarn on top. Pull the tail back through the loop and pull tight! Now put the loop on your needle and move on to the next video!
The most common method of casting on is called the long tail method and - you guessed it! It's because you start with a long tail! Whatever pattern you are using should give you an indication of how long your tail should be, but just remember if you are casting on more stitches, you will want a longer tail and if you're casting on less stitches, it can be shorter.
After you've tied the slip knot (in the video), place it on your needle and make sure that the yarn tail is draped off toward the left with the ball of yarn on your right.
What you need to do now may seem a little bit complicated but stick with it. This is kind of hard to explain with written words, so go ahead and watch the video. Becca repeats it a few times in the video, so if you get the hang of it after the first try, huzzah!
After you cast on, you get to start knitting! This video explains how to get started with that stitch. There are two basic stitches with knitting: the knit stitch and the purl stitch. They are kid of opposites of each other. Once you learn these, you are set up to do just about anything!
I am a pretty tight knitter, so this part can be kind of tough for me. So just keep that in mind, if it's really tight, you might want to loosen up a bit. :) You can do this by casting on again and just keeping things a bit more relaxed. It is ok if it takes you a while to get the right tension down. I've been knitting for years and I still knit with a super tight tension.
I will let Becca explain how to get started in the video to the right. Just remember, if you knit super tight like I do, it will be hard to get the needle in between the yarn, so don't be afraid to keep things relaxed!
The purl stitch is kind of the opposite of the knit stitch, and it's the second stitch I learned when my mom taught me how to knit! Don't ask me why it's called purl, I don't know. But I do think the spelling is pretty.
Knitting in the round is how you can knit something like socks, a cowl, or a hat where it forms a tube, and you don't have to sew the sides together. Knitting in the round is really no different from regular knitting, except you are not flipping and turning your work at the end of each row. You can do it on a circular needle (that's where two needles are connected by a cord) or with a set of double pointed needles. Don't forget you need a stitch marker so you can find the beginning of the row. Some patterns have different stitches depending on what row you are on, so you use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the row.
One other tricky part of knitting in the round is what Becca mentions in the video - you have to make sure you don't twist your stitches while you start the first row. Watch the video and you will see what I'm talking about.
Knitting and purling together is super simple, but we thought you might want to see how it is done because it is what creates a fun pattern! You won't find many knitting patterns that don't have you doing both.
The only tricky part of knitting and purling together is to remember to move your yarn to the front or back depending on the stitch. If you are purling, you will move your yarn from the back to the front in between the two needles. After you complete your purl stitches and you are ready to do some knit stitches, simply move your yarn to the back before you do a knit stitch.
You can watch the video where Becca explains it much better than me.
Most knitting patterns use codes for the various stitches, K2/P2 means knit two/purl two. There are a TON of codes, so if you see one and don't know what it is, just google it!
Have fun! This is one of my favorite stitches because you can really see it happening quickly!
SSK or slip slip knit is also pretty simple. It's similar to K2Tog but a bit different.
With SSK, you act like you're going to do a knit stitch and once you slip your needle into the stitch, you simply slip it over to your right needle. Once you slip the two stitches onto your right hand needle, slide your left hand needle into the front of those two stitches and knit the stitches together. Voila! you've done a SSK!

Home /Новини /Новини /Bulgaria is now ahead of the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium and many other destinations by number of nights in hotels by foreigners for June-July 2018. /Bulgaria is now ahead of the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium and many other destinations by number of nights in hotels by foreigners for June-July 2018.
Bulgaria is now ahead of the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium and many other destinations by number of nights in hotels by foreigners for June-July 2018.
By the level of tourism development in the summer season, our country is before countries like Cyprus and Malta
In terms of number of nights spent in hotels and similar accommodation places by foreigners, Bulgaria is ahead of the Netherlands, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Luxembourg and many other destinations in June-July 2018.
In the two summer months, more than 7.407 million were night stays in hotels by foreigners in Bulgaria, while in the Netherlands, these were 5.4 million, in Ireland - 2.9 million, in the Czech Republic and Hungary they were respectively 4.5 million and 2.6 million. Nights spent by foreigners in hotels reported in Belgium - 2.2 million, in Poland - 2.9 million, in Slovakia - 900 thousand, in Luxembourg- 267 thousand for the same period this year.
These data are proof of the sustainable progress of the sector and the establishment of the country as a preferred place for vacations and trips of foreign guests, the Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova said. She also pointed out that during the summer months, the interest in sea-based destinations is greatest, but accompanying tourist products such as SPA, cultural and historical, urban and mountainous ones also have a contribution.
Within the EU, for the period June-July 2018, Bulgaria ranks 10th in terms of nights spent by foreigners in hotels. According to the level of tourism development in the summer season, Bulgaria is ahead of destinations like Cyprus and Malta, and the number of nights spent by foreign tourists staying in hotels is not significantly smaller compared to Portugal.
These statistics show that the consistent and intensive work of the tourism administration and the businesses to attract more foreign visitors to Bulgaria delivers good results, the Minister said. She also added that this motivates us to continue to actively and purposefully promote Bulgaria as a year-round destination in order to preserve the sustainable development trend.


We had fun over the 4th weekend! Mimi and Papi drove down to spend some time with Owen and Mason, as well as Uncle Kyle before his big trip to Ecuador on the 5th. We all met in Austin on Lake Travis where my parents have a boat. We enjoyed a hot day on the lake on the 3rd swimming, relaxing, drinking margaritas, playing watermelon goose in the water, grilling on the boat grill, taking an evening drive to see a fireworks show, and a night drive back to the marina. Why are night drives so fun? We got up on the 4th and had our rain-checked Father's Day lunch since all the dads were together. Afterwards, we headed back to Houston in time to enjoy a low key evening of s'mores and sparkly sparklers. Uncle Kyle headed out early the next morning for his big trip to Ecuador with Manda. The weekend was fun, both sets of grandparents are always a hit with the boys!
Of all the mispronunciations that two year olds make, this one takes the cake. The boys have favorite blankies, and Owen has taken to the little version. He refers to it as "little" but pronounces it "wiggle," and he draws out the "i" sound. Mason pronounces it "liggle." And it doesn't just apply to the blankies. Anything that is little is "wiiiiggle" or "liiiiggle." I just love it and am sad for the day they wake up and pronounce is correctly. Here's a video of them telling me if something is big or little. Yes, impressive that they can discriminate, but I really took the video just to make them say "little."
Oh boy! We are behind on sharing some pics! These are out of order, seeing as how we've already posted Father's Day a while back, but better late than never!
One week after Owen and Mason turned 2, their cousin Julian had his 3rd birthday party in Austin. We made the trip and combined the weekend with seeing RENT. Julian is very into things with wheels which suited Owen and Mason just fine. We rode the Zilker Zephyer and spent the afternoon back at Julian's house. It's always great getting our kids together. Julian's mom and Aunt Tera are my 1st cousins and my sister and I grew up going to their parties and them coming to ours. It's a tradition we're determined to continue.
Keep checking back. I promise we'll do better at keeping up with blogging!
These pictures were taken a while back and somehow got lost in the mounds of other pictures we take. The boys are sporting some cool skates they got for their birthday. Something about these pictures scream 1980-something. I think it's the combination of the clunky skates, the short "shorts," and the old school prints on the shirts. Every time I see these pictures, I crack up! And yes, my kids are still slobber machines! Mason's in gray, Owen in red.
Owen and Mason's Pirate Party Featured!
Owen and Mason's 2nd birthday party is featured today on Creative Parties and Showers!
Stop over there if you'd like and check out some of the other amazing parties that she's shown.
Thanks again to everyone who came and made it such a fun day for Owen and Mason!
This is one of those cases where the senses of humor of two year olds and myself intersect. Mason and Owen get silly right before bedtime and play with their mat and their pirate cave.
We've been on the road most of this week, and our first stop was San Marcos, TX, where we threw a surprise party for Owen and Mason's Great-Great Aunt Bee. She's the sister of Erin's Grandmother and has always been like another grandmother to her. This year, Bee hit the 90-year milestone, which is quite an accomplishment. Even better though is the way she's kept in great health - body, mind, and spirit. She's as sharp as anyone you'll meet, regardless of age, and she is a continual reminder of how we'd all like to live our lives, where we keep things in perspective and where we're always ready for another adventure.


Not helped along by the fact that the two big political parties in the US are in the habit of fielding endorsed candidates to run for president who, while they may present themselves well in front of the TV cameras, usually turn out to be clueless about macro-economic management.
Which is not surprising, since the entire U.S. mainstream is Keynesian.
Wrong as Keynes may have been sometimes, Keynesian economics is still the least wrong of all macroecononomical propositions. Growth depends mostly on an increase in demand. The thing to avoid is boosting demand by recourse do indebtedness (except on what investment is concerned).
New York: When iconic car manufacturer General Motors announced it would cut almost 15,000 jobs, many of them in his political heartland, US President Donald Trump seemed to take it as a personal slight.
This may be a case of Trump fluffing the numbers for the short term. HIs history in business suggests this is a familiar pattern.
"The dinner in Argentina that could shape the world's economic destiny"
It doesn't help that neither Trump nor his trade or economic advisers are prepared to acknowledge (if, indeed, they recognise it) that a trade conflict harms the US along with those it targets, or that a country that issues the world's reserve currency is inevitably going to run structural current account deficits.
Given that Trump doesn't appear to understand the issues, and China isn't going to surrender its aspirations, there is little reason to be optimistic about the outcome of the Trump dinner with Xi Jinping.
The best hope for an unexpectedly positive outcome is that the Chinese could come up with something that appeals to the Trump ego by appearing to give him a victory without China actually making meaningful concessions.
It looks bleak, doesn't it?
Re: Even David Goldman sees the portents of doom.
Some of the world's largest economies are shrinking and all of them are slowing, thanks in large part to the threat of trade war.
Tariffs imposed by the United States and China's retaliatory tariffs have had little direct impact on growth, to be sure, but uncertainty over trade war has cut deeply into investment plans. Trade in capital goods appears to be driving the slowdown.
Japan, the world's third-largest economy, shrank at a 0.3% annual rate during the third quarter. Germany's economy shrank by 0.2% during the third quarter, and government economists think that the fourth quarter will show negative numbers as well, leaving the world's fourth-largest economy in recession. Sweden and Switzerland also reported negative growth of -.02% during the third quarter.
Trade war leaves companies uncertain of where and when to invest. Manufacturing managers are trying to work out whether to move Chinese production capacity to other Asian nations in order to avoid American tariffs, or whether to stay in China or do nothing at all. The uncertainty appears sufficiently pervasive to cause an economic downturn in some of the most trade-dependent nations.
In separate statements yesterday, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned of the danger of slowing global growth. In a surprise turnaround, Powell said that the Federal Reserve's short-term lending rate was "just below neutral," in sharp contrast to consensus expectations that the Federal Reserve would raise the rate by 0.75% to 1% over the next year.
The regulators' caution is well founded, judging from available data on international trade. Overall world trade growth has slowed from about 5%-6% year-on-year to only 2% a year as of September, the last month for which data are published by the Netherlands Central Planning Bureau.
Real estate, oil and the employment numbers are all telling us the same thing, and that is really bad news for the U.S. economy. It really does appear that economic activity is starting to slow down significantly, but just like in 2008 those that are running things don't want to admit the reality of what we are facing. Back then, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke insisted that the U.S. economy was not heading into a recession, and we later learned that a recession had already begun when he made that statement. And as you will see at the end of this article, current Fed Chair Jerome Powell says that he is "very happy" with how the U.S. economy is performing, but he shouldn't be so thrilled. Signs of trouble are everywhere, and we just got several more pieces of troubling news.
Thanks to aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, the average rate on a 30 year mortgage is now up to about 4.8 percent. Just like in 2008, that is killing the housing market and it has us on the precipice of another real estate meltdown.
In the third quarter, the median price for a one-bedroom Manhattan home was $815,000, down 4% from the same period in 2017. The volume of sales fell 12.7%.
Of course things are even worse at the high end of the market. Some Manhattan townhouses are selling for millions of dollars less than what they were originally listed for.
Hope was high for a rebound (after new-home-sales slumped), but that was dashed as pending home sales plunged 2.6% MoM in October (well below the expected 0.5% MoM bounce).
When something happens for 10 months in a row, I think that you can safely say that a trend has started.
Sales of new single-family houses plunged 12% in October, compared to a year ago, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 544,000 houses, according to estimates by the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
With an inventory of new houses for sale at 336,000 (seasonally adjusted), the supply at the current rate of sales spiked to 7.4 months, from 6.5 months' supply in September, and from 5.6 months' supply a year ago.
If all of this sounds eerily similar to 2008, that is because it is eerily similar to what happened just before and during the last financial crisis.
Up until now, at least the economic optimists could point to the employment numbers as a reason for hope, but not anymore.
The number of Americans filing applications for jobless benefits increased to a six-month high last week, which could raise concerns that the labor market could be slowing.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 234,000 for the week ended Nov. 24, the highest level since the mid-May, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims have now risen for three straight weeks.
This is also similar to what we witnessed back in 2008. Jobless claims started to creep up, and then when the crisis fully erupted there was an avalanche of job losses.
And just like 10 years ago, we are starting to see a lot of big corporations start to announce major layoffs.
General Motors greatly upset President Trump when they announced that they were cutting 14,000 jobs just before the holidays, but GM is far from alone. For a list of some of the large firms that have just announced layoffs, please see my previous article entitled "U.S. Job Losses Accelerate: Here Are 10 Big Companies That Are Cutting Jobs Or Laying Off Workers".
A third parallel to 2008 is what is happening to the price of oil.
In 2008, the price of oil shot up to a record high before falling precipitously.
Oil's recent slide has shaved more than a third off its price. Crude fell more than 1% Thursday to as low as $49.41 a barrel. The last time oil closed below $50 was in October 4, 2017. By mid morning the price had climbed back to above $51.
Concerns about oversupply have sent oil prices into a virtual freefall: Crude hit a four-year high above $76 a barrel less than two months ago.
When economists are asked why the price of oil is falling, the primary answer they give is because global economic activity is softening.
Euro-area economic confidence slipped for an 11th straight month, further damping expectations that the currency bloc will rebound from a sharp growth slowdown and complicating the European Central Bank's plans to pare back stimulus.
In addition, we just got news that the Swiss and Swedish economies had negative growth in the third quarter.
The economic news is bad across the board, and it appears to be undeniable that a global economic downturn has begun.
That is just great. He can be as happy as he wants, and he can continue raising interest rates as he sticks his head in the sand, but nothing is going to change economic reality.
Every single Fed rate hiking cycle in history has ended in a market crash and/or a recession, and this time won't be any different.
The Federal Reserve created the "boom" that we witnessed in recent years, but we must also hold them responsible for the "bust" that is about to happen.
Good stuff for the folks wishing for, praying for the collapse of the US economy.
Was Jeremiah the Old Testament Hebrew prophet "wishing for, praying" for the fall of Jerusalem to the Assyrian host? I don't believe that he would have been. Instead, he would have been remiss in his duty as God's soothsayer had he not tried to warn his countrymen about the catastrophe he saw coming; presumably in the hope that it still might be averted.
I dread the coming crash for the worldwide consequences that are likely to ensue. But as in Jeremiah's time "a prophet is never honoured in his own time and in his own country".


Queen Victoria! This young lady is a New Zealand / Flemish cross, who deserves her own castle. She is a little shy at first but that isn't uncommon with bunnies who have experienced less-than-optimal experiences. Given a chance to interact with a trustworthy human, Victoria's personality will bloom. She is an active bun-bun who likes to dig and needs a big litter box to have fun doing so. Having toys to keep her busy and room to dance around on those gorgeous big legs will be important to keep her happy.
If you are looking for a BBB (big beautiful bunny) to join your family, then Sassafras is your gal! Since these photos were taken she's spent a bit of time in a foster home but is now back at the shelter, hoping her adoptive forever-family will show up soon. Those fantastic big-bun legs need lots of free-range house space to hop about. Sassy Sassafras is a super awesome fun-bun. Check out a short video of her on our Petfinder page.

"Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt"
Although there were reports last year, Marvel Comics' super-villain 'Kraven the Hunter' would be getting his own stand-alone live-action feature, adapting Marvel's "Kraven's Last Hunt", written by Richard Wenk ("The Equalizer"), a safer bet for now is to introduce the character as one of the 'Sinister Six' in Sony's upcoming "Spider-Man 3":
'Sergei Kravinoff', aka 'Kraven The Hunter", debuted in Marvel Comics' "The Amazing Spider-Man" #15 (August 1964), created by writer Stan Lee and illustrator/co-plotter Steve Ditko.
"I'm just starting it," said Wenk about the "Kraven" screenplay. "It's an interesting world. A great character. It's going to adhere very closely to the lore of 'Kraven the Hunter'. And he is going to come face to face with 'Spider-Man'...
"There's lots of hurdles to overcome before you can start writing, to crack the right story and to get the right tone. It's a new world for me. But what's nice about it is, it's a very grounded character, he doesn't have a lot of crazy superpowers and things like that so he's more grounded and that fits what I like to do..."
In "Kraven's Last Hunt", Kraven sets his sights on Spider-Man to prove he is superior to the wall-crawler, ultimately neutralizing him then stealing his costume to impersonate 'Spidey' on the streets of New York City.

The attractive, bustling seacoast community of Portsmouth, New Hampshire doesn't have much in the way of nightlife specifically geared to LGBT clients, but this generally liberal city of 21,000 does have a sizable gay population.
Portsmouth is a popular getaway for New Englanders from Boston (an hour south), Portland (an hour north), or Providence (two hours away). This historic city lies at the northern end of the New Hampshire coastline—conveniently located just off of I-95—with its downtown hugging the shores of the scenic Piscataqua River.
Although there are only a small number of gay-friendly bars and restaurants in the area, Portsmouth is full of a number of fascinating museums—notably the Strawbery Banke living history complex of colonial buildings—and plenty of accepting establishments for all types of clientele.
A few bars and restaurants in the walkable, historic downtown of Portsmouth do have a bit of a gay following or are at least quite welcoming to the LGBT community.
The most popular gay-friendly bars include the hip The Nice, a swanky bar serving sophisticated cocktails beside Dos Amigos Burritos, and Portsmouth Brewery, which crafts a fine selection of artisan beers and serves great comfort fare, too.
The Daniel Street Tavern is also quite gay-friendly and offers visitors a laid-back atmosphere complete with a pool table, karaoke, and cheap drinks. It's a bit of a dive, but the crowd is always colorful and often quite diverse.
If you're not feeling like drinking alcohol, the coffeehouse Breaking New Grounds draws a diverse crowd for coffee and baked goods throughout the day and evening—in warm weather, grab a table on the sidewalk.
Before you go out for a night on the town, you might want to consider visiting one of Portsmouth's many gay-friendly restaurants and eateries for a quick bite, and you'll find a number of excellent choices downtown where you'll likely encounter a warm welcome.
The Wellington Room has lovely views over the Piscataqua River while quirky and groovy Lexie's Joint serves terrific burgers (both veggie and meat) and the intimate and fun Cava offers excellent tapas and a Mediterranean wine bar.
If it's fresh New England seafood you're after, consider the stylish waterfront eatery Surf Restaurant, which has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river and across to Kittery, Maine. The lobster roll here is superb with its lobster meat warmed in drawn butter and served in a grilled brioche roll; the raw bar also turns out impressive tiered towers of fresh-caught oysters, smoked trout and salmon, and sashimi tuna.
Although Portsmouth is relatively small, most of its population is welcoming to all types of guests—gay, straight, bisexual, or otherwise inclined—so no matter where you go, you're sure to have a good time in this quaint little town.
However, if you want a bit more excitement, Portsmouth is just a 30-minute drive south of the popular summer beach town, Ogunquit, which is a popular destination for gay tourists in the northeast.
Portsmouth is also a little less than an hour's drive east of the state's largest city, Manchester, which has a couple of gay bars including The Breezeway and Element Lounge.


I never got my Air Medal. How do you go about applying for this?
I'm not the best to answer this but maybe someone will see this and have a better answer. If it is on your DD-214 there is no problem just file for a lost medal or go buy one. If it is not on your DD-214 you need to fill out a DD-149 if you think you was recommended for it and didn't get it.
Not sure how you do it if you are just applying for the award yourself. I think the DD-214 for that also . You can get the form at a VA facility or online . Sorry that is about all I have . Hope to see you in May at the reunion.
If you have your orders for the Air Medal, you can send a copy requesting it to St. Louis.
If you don't have a copy of your orders, then try to find someone who served at the same time as you and see if your name is on their orders. They don't have to have been in your Company. They were issued in batches. Mine has about 50 names from every Company in 1/50th, and every battalion in the 173rd.
"Shooting from the hip"...are you "assuming" you were awarded an Air Medal? Or, as others have asked, is it on your DD214...or, more important, do you have a citation or copy of the orders?
Original "D" Company men fell into a "Gray" area...since the the company was formed in October when we did less Airmobile operations and were mostly "mounted" using our APCs (I believe one needed 25 Combat Assaults to qualify). Adding to the lack of awards was the fact that it took a while before all the proper reporting was handled via a headquarters portion of "D" Company (Qualified Company Clerk would have been in place at An Khe with a working information flow via LZ Uplift...and I believe there was about a month "lag" before this happened).
Long story short, some "D" Company men might have been "shortchanged" on their Combat Assault totals when they transferred to "D" Company...but I cannot say for certain. If this is the case, and you did not qualify as a result, the chances are near zero that you can get the award.
If anyone has their "D" Company Air Medal orders for that group of men from the beginning 6 months or so, Contact me. I have orders from both the 1st Cavalry and the 173rd Airborne, but do not recall seeing group orders for men from "D" Company. I might have them, but I have not indexed what I have as it is over 500 copies of General Orders.
Thanks Jim I can only tell you that my 1 flight was the day after Thanksgiving in 1968 out of LZ Pony and more the 25 flights.

"95 Decibels" Film In Dublin Highlights Parent Choices For Deaf Children
23rd May 2017 3 Mins Read
Sound Advice is hosting a screening of the US-produced 95 Decibels short film (2013) on June 10th at 11am at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin, to explore the emotional obstacles parents face with an unexpected diagnosis of deafness for their child. In the film, the young (hearing) parents Erica and Dylan, struggle over what path to take for their deaf daughter, Sophia, whose hearing issues are detected at 18 months old.
The 95 Decibels film (27:30) features actor Goran Visnijc from NBC's ERand is based on a true story in the United States to educate on the early detection of hearing issues in infants while seeking to improve acceptance of cochlear implants as a digital hearing technology.
The teaching in this film perfectly complements Sound Advice's approach:
Digital hearing aids and cochlear implants in the first year of life give babies who are deaf or hard of hearing the best possible sound to access spoken language.
Guidance from audiologists, ENT surgeons and speech-language teachers is vital as babies and their families learn to use spoken language in a hearing world.
Auditory-verbal (hearing-speech) therapy optimises infant outcomes with early detection, family involvement and top-quality hearing devices or technology.
Dublin was the first overseas city to screen 95 Decibels in January 2014and we are delighted to host a repeat screening and Q&A with the film directors, visiting from the US.
" The 95 Decibels film directly fits Sound Advice's message of early detection for babies with severe to profound deafness in Ireland, who can learn to listen and talk with infant hearing-devices and parent-led spoken language interactions", says Caroline Carswell, founder of Sound Advice. " While the HSE's national newborn hearing test initiative in 2011 and – since 2014 – bilateral cochlear implants for children – are massive steps forward, what parents in Ireland really need, is sustained coaching in the listening-and-talking approach as their infants grow. This film-screening and dialogue with the film directors and some current deaf teens from Ireland, aim to explore how that outcome can be achieved. "
The Listening and Talking Approach
Since 2007, Sound Advice highlighted the listening-and-talking approach for deaf infants in Ireland, with founder Caroline Carswell (and team members) benefiting from this family-centred spoken-language development as very young children. Their self-taught speech therapist practised Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) in Ireland in the 1950s on a semi-private basis at Dublin's Harcourt Street Hospital, but was not replaced on retirement in the 1990s.
A key theme of 95 Decibels is the Listening and Talking approach for deaf children – also known as Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT). The 95 Decibels team finds much success in the AVT approach, which maximises the use of a child's hearing for learning. AVT promotes infant detection of hearing issues, one-on-one speech therapy and digital hearing-device management. With guidance, coaching and modelling, parents are the primary enablers of their child's spoken language progress and ultimately gain belief that their child can access multiple academic, social, and occupational choices in their life.

HomeNewsDeciphering the role of clergy for patients in local hospitals
Deciphering the role of clergy for patients in local hospitals
July 4, 2012 Editor News
"There's no staff chaplain at Winchester hospital. Any chaplaincy work they need to have done, they rely on community chaplains, but we're never called," said Reverend Sue McCullough of the Anglican Parish for Morrisburg, Iroquois and Riverside Heights.
Frustrated and disheartened with the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, McCullough is just one of three area ministers who have come forward to share their concerns.
During a May 24th phone interview, McCullough described what she sees as some of the most pressing issues between hospital and clergy, while Reverend Janet Evans of Iroquois United Church and Reverend Daniel Hayward of Trinity United Church in Ingleside met with The Leader on June 7th to share their concerns.
"Honestly, all we're trying to do is find out who in our congregations are in hospital and want to be seen," said Hayward.
According to Hayward, the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) has a much better system than Winchester. "In Cornwall, they do have a chaplain who is an employee of the hospital."
"They have an on call schedule with a pager," he continued. "We have access to lists of people from our denomination in the hospital, which is password protected."
"They don't have either of those" in Winchester. "We don't have easy access."
Hayward, along with Evans, explained that Winchester District Memorial Hospital did, at one time, provide paper lists of patients for approved clergy, but those were mostly out-of-date lists and, unfortunately, those have disappeared now as well.
"There are lay pastoral visitors that have more access to the patient list than the clergy do," said McCullough, referring to Winchester's spiritual volunteers.
According to an April press release from the hospital, there are six spiritual volunteers who have completed training and become active in the hospital.
"Training includes aspects of every faith ranging from Islam to Christianity to Judaism and many more. Beyond considerations of faith, spiritual volunteers must also be prepared to interact with patients who may be in the worst crisis of their lives. They attend monthly training sessions to learn new communication techniques and discuss best practices."
Both Hayward and Evans agreed with McCullough's charge saying that in contrast to the clergy, the spiritual volunteers have "no restrictions."
In addition to this, McCullough said, "my concern as well as the concern of others is that social workers and nurses are stepping into the role of clergy. That's not to malign social workers or nurses, but their focus should be on something else."
"They seem to think that we're not necessary," she continued. "They seem to think that we're there to evangelize, but that's not why."
"They aren't making use of the community clergy in the way that they could."
According to Evans, it's not necessarily a question of us or them, but rather a simple question of access to those who want their minister on hand.
"I know many fine nurses and believe that they, and we, can have a role in creating peace of mind and body and spirit," said Evans.
"Sometimes, the least likely person can minister to another human being. I use a pharmacy in Brockville and the cashier brings me joy every time I pick up a prescription."
Evans pointed out that the admissions questionnaire for the Winchester hospital does ask patients what their denomination is and whether they might like a visit from clergy. Unfortunately, she said, "it's not asked in many cases and when it is, it's sometimes not followed up on."
"If they don't know it's available to ask for," said McCullough, "they're not going to ask for it."
"I usually don't find out (a congregant is in hospital) unless family calls me," said Evans, pointing out that not all of her congregants have family.
The number one complaint from congregants, according to Evans, is "you don't come see me."
"Our issue, mainly," she reiterated, "is just access to our own congregants in a timely and accurate fashion."
She also pointed out that "when we're doing that kind of work, we should be open to all (people) and not trying to convert."
"We're continually told we can't have this for the privacy act," said Evans with respect to patient lists, but, as McCullough pointed out, "we sign confidentiality forms."
Hayward would point to Cornwall Community Hospital, which is "governed by the same act as Winchester."
"There are very few cases where someone has fallen through the cracks and we're always able to find people in Cornwall," said Hayward, applauding CCH's "timely and accurate information."
"All of this stuff is doable," added Hayward who has a background in computer systems.
In addition to lack of access to patient information, clergy has been told that there is no money at Winchester District Memorial Hospital to employ a member of the clergy for a full-time or even a part-time position.
Hayward also pointed out that the chapel/prayer room is most often used for storage.
"Having come from an area and worked in a hospital where clergy's assistance is valued greatly," said McCullough, "and come to a place where it appears that it is not, it gets to be a bit frustrating."
As for how things are functioning under the direction of new chief executive officer Cholly Boland, Evans said, "he does seem a little more open."
While "nothing has changed for the last 10 years," she said, "it has improved somewhat with the new CEO. I do believe Cholly has at least tried to make things better."
On June 20th, when asked for his take on how the Winchester District Memorial Hospital handles patient/clergy interaction, Boland said, "we're here to serve patients. We're here to respond to patients."
He reported that "data from the patients that we survey shows at least 90 per cent of the time the patients who want pastoral care service say it's addressed to their satisfaction."
"I'm not aware from patients who are churchgoers of any issues," he said.
"We're a hospital. We look after patients. What we're most concerned about is being able to respond to patient requests."
The privacy issue, he said, is not just about the law, but also about showing respect for patients.
"We survey our patients very often," said Boland, "we kind of have a read on our patients."
Those who request visits from clergy are in the minority, said Boland, but when a patient does request a visit, "if and only when they say 'yes we would', we contact the appropriate clergy and it's up to the clergy to respond."
He pointed out that it is the task of the pastoral care committee to deal with any clergy-related concerns that arise.
Also on June 20th, Hayward updated The Leader on changes to some of the aforementioned issues: "Winchester now has paper lists sorted by denomination again. These are in the emergency department, can be printed on demand by the emergency ward clerk, or are used by the chief liaison officer volunteer services who calls clergy who are specifically requested by a patient."
"So, the Winchester system is now closer to that used in Cornwall, although Cornwall's is viewed on a computer screen."
"In both cases," he continued, "my chief wish is that these lists, which are all generated from a database and could be viewable online with proper security, be available off-site so clergy do not have to drive to the hospital to see them."
He also reported that "the hospital now has plans to redecorate the Reflection Room (chapel) as a proper quiet space and to stop use of the room for storage." During Hayward's visit to the hospital on June 20th, he discovered that the room now "only had furniture."

Bleaching of Vegetable Oil using Organic Acid Activated Fuller's Earth (Bentonite Clay) By Atif Khan University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan Abstract - Vegetable oil is one of the basic food items which is consumed by almost every human being in this universe.
spectrophotometry. All specificsurface area of natural and acid activated bentonite clay was measured by N 2 adsorption. The results showed that acid activated clay increased its specificarea with 57% of S BET (47 to 74 m2/g), while the average pore diameter of acid activate bentonite clay was smaller than that of natural bentonite clay.
Adsorptive properties of acid activated bentonite. The absorptive properties of the acid treated bentonite samples were examined in terms of affinity towards carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The use of basicity to correlate the affinity towards hydrogen was motivated by the interest devoted to the partial charge of the lattice oxygen atoms.
percentage of the H2SO4 in the bentonite acid mixture would be– (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 %). The acid activation was performed by heating atotal of 8 suspensions in a shaking water bath at 97 ˚C. The activated samples were filtered under vacuum and the precipitate was washed with distilled water until it was free of SO4-2 ions.
Alibaba.com offers 1,667 acid activated bentonite clay products. About 62% of these are petroleum additives, 57% are electronics chemicals, and 54% are paper chemicals. A wide variety of acid activated bentonite clay options are available to you, such as free samples.
Acid-activated bentonite powders have been used in diverse applications, such as adsorbent, catalyst and bleaching earth, and also in the preparations of carbonless copy paper, electrode, pillared clay, organoclay and nanocomposites -.
Activated bentonite was characterized and used as an adsorbent for the removal of Fe ions from acid mine drainage (AMD) sourced from a gold mine site. Adsorption experiments were carried out under varying operating conditions in a glass continuous stirred batch reactor by agitation of bentonite clay with a fixed volume of AMD.
The synthesis of acid activated titanium dioxide-pillared bentonite (TiO 2-pillared bentonite) and its adsorption properties on napthol blue black (NBB) dye has been studied. Natural bentonite was activated by using hydrochloric acid solutions and was intercalated with tetraisopropyl orthotitanate as titanium dioxide precursor.
commercial acid-activated bentonite extensively used in the vegetable oil industry, was used as reference for the evaluation of the bleaching capacity in the experiments. Alkali-refined sunflower oil was gently donated by Bunge Alimentos S.A (Gaspar-SC, Brazil).

Review: Coffee Talk – A Refreshing Brew Indeed
One of the brilliant things about Nintendo Switch becoming a new harbour for indie development is the sheer number of unusual ideas and concepts that see the light of day. So, even the most oddball of premises have the opportunity to cultivate an audience when they land on the eShop. It's this inclusive atmosphere that's allowed one of the weirdest yet most intriguing indie curios on PC to make its way onto Nintendo's current-gen machine; a game that asks you to casually mediate the personal problems of fantastical millennials while soothing their bruised egos with cups of tea and coffee. Welcome to the world of Coffee Talk.
The Seattle in which you operate just so happens to be populated by elves, dwarves, succubi and many other fairy tale folk. The wars of these races are a distant memory, and now everyone is just trying to live their lives in a Fables-esque maelstrom of normality. The dwarves have left their mountain mining to form automotive empires. The elves have traded their peaceful glades for tech startups and valleys made of silicon. Yes, this really is a game about making coffee and listening to people talk, but don't let that elevator pitch put you off, because it's a really moreish experience. Who knew navigating the emotional minefields of the Emerald City's werewolf, vampire and orc population could be so much fun?
On this roughly six-hour-plus journey, you'll take on the role of 'The Barista' as they attempt to run a quaint little coffee house that's more than happy to operate with more unusual opening hours. While the game itself is driven on the flow of the dialogue on-screen, you're only ever lurking on the periphery of these conversations. You're the conveniently placed ear that steers the chat in one direction or another by serving correctly made beverages (and interjecting with the occasional quip). The rub comes in knowing exactly how to make said hot and cold drinks (based on actual ingredients you'd use to make them in real life… mostly) and listening intently enough to know which drink is best for a certain patron at that given moment in the story (even if they don't know it themselves).
Thankfully, even with only a handful of recipes available on your in-game smartphone, it isn't particularly hard to work out what a customer wants by simply extrapolating said drink from their thinly-veiled requests. Does someone want a strong coffee with a hint of sweetness? That'll be two servings of coffee and a splash of honey. Patron feeling a little under the weather? How about a serving of green tea mixed with honey and lemon for a nice cup of 'cough syrup'? The only really frustrating ones are those customers that simply ask you to 'surprise them' with little or no additional clues, but at least these bozos are relatively rare during the main story mode.
Part of the fun comes from simply trying out new ideas, which then adds this concoction to the list of recipes on your phone (which happens to contain, among other things, a social network that gradually grows as you meet and befriend more patrons from across Seattle's fantastical population). Whether you're playing through the relatively short story mode or the more satisfying endless mode with its perpetual conveyor belt of customers, simply using a little logic to create a drink from cocoa powder, milk and whatever other ingredients that are available behind the counter is really rather satisfying; it's a bizarrely relaxing experience and unlike any other game on Switch at the moment.
You can also do your own 'latte art' if you happen to serve anything with a milky finish. This cute little mini-game was a little more frustrating on PC (and other consoles) as it's difficult to precisely make any sort of pattern that wasn't a big mess on top of your coffee (especially with an analogue stick), but with support for touchscreen controls on Switch, drawing milky masterpieces is far more enjoyable. Sure, you're unlikely to be recreating Pierce Brosnan's face in your beverages anytime soon, but at least this little extra actually works in the way it was intended.
There are lots of endings for each of the customers you meet, and while you can't necessarily fail at your new virtual career, the outcome of your tea and coffee concoctions can subtly shift said character's mindset, and the decisions they eventually make. The storyline of each character ranges from the mundane (such as navigating the unknown waters of online dating) to the increasingly personal (including a father attempting to protect his young daughter from making poor decisions as she heads out into the world). The dialogue is well-written for the most part and it's fun to see people from vastly different backgrounds encounter one another at the neutral zone of the coffee counter.
Coffee Talk isn't afraid to broach far more sensitive subjects in an attempt to hold a mirror up to the problems facing society today (including the rather eerie story about a pandemic spreading from overseas). Even topics as palpable as racism and segregation are covered, such as the problems facing a young couple who find their star-crossed love clashing with long-standing inter-species intolerance. However, while the game does attempt to shed light on many of these important issues, it rarely delves deep enough to offer anything particularly valuable or insightful. It's clearly trying to avoid being controversial and risk losing its 'chill' vibe, but you're left wanting more lasting developments over the melodrama.
Games in the 'visual novel' corner of the industry can often leave you a little cold unless you're happy to watch an anime with a small amount of actual player interaction, but with its unique premise and interesting take on a fantasy world (think Netflix's Bright, but actually good), Coffee Talk serves up a refreshing brew of angst, introspection and coffee beans. Its hand-crafted story mode is a tad too short for our liking, but with Endless mode you'll have plenty of fun getting in touch with your inner barista.

Here's How the Complicated Case Around Lizzo's 'Truth Hurts' Could Unfold
By Raisa Bruner
Updated: October 25, 2019 3:42 PM ET | Originally published: October 24, 2019 8:30 PM EDT
"Truth Hurts," singer-flutist-rapper Lizzo's 2017 sleeper hit, recently became Billboard's longest-running #1 rap song by a female artist, topping the Hot 100 list for seven weeks.
But with its newfound top-tier status has come increased scrutiny — and legal action. Like with many hits these days, from Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams's "Blurred Lines" to Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" to Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud," the question of authorship and copyright infringement in music has become muddy. And as the cases have multiplied, many are jumping in to claim a piece of a song's pie. Here's what to know about Lizzo's 'Truth Hurts.'
Who are the people involved in the "Truth Hurts" case?
In the case of "Truth Hurts," three main individuals have made headlines with an interest in establishing themselves on the songwriting credits. They include Mina Lioness, a singer who once tweeted the song's now-infamous lyric, "I just took a DNA test and I'm 100% that b-tch," in the spring of 2017, and two songwriting brothers, Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, who wrote a song demo called "Healthy" with Lizzo during a 2017 session.
What's at stake?
Song royalties. With a big hit comes ongoing returns on the song's profits. Plus, "Truth Hurts" is currently in Grammy contention.
Who may get to claim ownership of the signature 'Truth Hurts' lyric?
Simply put, it's complicated. In order for someone to claim ownership of a phrase or lyric, they need to have established common law copyright over that piece of creative output. "If you draw a picture in the sand on the beach," explains entertainment and media lawyer Jason Boyarski of New York-based firm Boyarski Fritz who have counted the Prince estate, Marc Anthony, Wycleaf Jean and Bhad Bhabie among their clients, "there's technically a copyright for that picture. It's creativity, it's fixed in a medium. [It's] common law copyright. It hasn't been registered yet, but it could be protected." In other words, it's yours, and could be defensible in court if someone tried to sell it off as their own.
But it's often harder to identify the creative distinction of a phrase. It has to meet two standards: it must rise to a "level of originality" that sets it apart, and it must have been used in the new work in a way that's "substantially similar" to its original purpose. (For instance, you can't just publish someone else's photo in a book without giving them credit. But if you draw the scene depicted in that photo in a new, distinctive style and publish the drawing, then you've repurposed it in a way that no longer requires credit to the original photographer.) "Does a one-sentence tweet like that, as genius as the concept is, is it original enough to warrant copyright ability just as a sentence?" Boyarski said. "For a songwriter to be liable for some sort of infringement, it has to really rise to a level of really reaping where someone else has sown from an originality standpoint."
In this case, Lioness's claim may have held water — had she pressed it. "Had she lawyered up, there would be viable arguments on both sides," Boyarski said; there is a case to be made in her favor for a common law copyright on the tweet's contents. The Raisens, meanwhile, are claiming common law copyright on the lyric as it existed in the prior song they made with Lizzo; they're arguing that the lyric as it existed in their session deserves its own form of protection, and are suggesting in social media that the melody and chords are also part of the copyright-able mix.
How has Lizzo responded?
In a tweet this week, Lizzo confirmed that she'll be offering Lioness a songwriting credit. "I later learned that a tweet inspired the meme [that inspired the lyric]," she shared. "The creator of the tweet is the person I am sharing my success with… not these men. Period." She then filed suit against the Raisen brothers, according to Variety, claiming harassment.
Either they will settle or continue to court. If it goes to court, Boyarski said the outcome is nowhere near clear; there isn't a great deal of precedent on claims regarding lyrics, as most of the questions around songs have to do with chord progression and melody. (There may be an infinite number of ways to combine notes, Boyarski said, but only a certain number of those combinations actually sound good to regular listeners — hence the ways that new music often sounds reminiscent of what we've heard before, regardless of the creator's intent.) And so "Truth Hurts" may just continue to surprise us all.
Why does this case matter?
"From a macro standpoint, the 'Blurred Lines' case opened the floodgates to more voluminous litigation in connection with music publishing and songwriting," Boyarski said. "It's very dangerous ground right now for songwriters." What happens with "Truth Hurts" will contribute to determining how future songwriters and collaborators pursue copyright claims. And just like we've seen a "chilling effect" on the music industry in the post-"Blurred Lines" decision, this could have a cascading effect as well. "Anybody can make a claim," Boyarski said. "The question is, can lyrics of themselves… have that copyright ability?" We'll have to see how it plays out.
