I still remember the first time I ever encountered a squash bug. I was relatively new to gardening and for years had coasted along with no problems. Then one day I went out and one of my zucchini plants was on the ground. Wilted and dying. Naive me thought it was the summer heat- but by the end of the night 2 more plants were down. And those stink bugs in the garden were identified as squash bugs.
Luckily most common garden pests can be dealt with relatively quickly and naturally!
So whether it is squash bugs or flea beetles that you are fighting- let's get them out of your garden!
Get Rid of These 8 Common Garden Pests- Naturally!
Aphids are a common garden pest that can cause big problems. They target a lot of different crops and can cause viral disease in your garden as well. Luckily, aphids are fairly easy to control organically!
I'll be honest- we get aphids on our tomatoes every year and I have never once treated them. If your plants are strong and healthy, your soil is healthy, and you are attracting beneficials you should get a good balance and not have to worry.
Check out my article on how to use companion planting to get rid of aphids in your garden for more tips on getting rid of this garden pest.
🍅 In a Hurry? Get Started With Companion Planting Right NOW!
Pick up a copy of my Companion Planting Guide and Binder to help you design the perfect garden beds with companion planting in mind. Everything you need to know about companion planting in an easy to read format so you can start companion planting sooner!
These common garden pests are fat green worms that are great at camouflage! I tend to see their droppings before I notice the damage. And then it takes forever to find the little buggers because they are so well hidden! And while you can control hornworms with organic biological control such as Bacillus thuringiensis, the best way to control them is through good soil preparation, hand-picking, and attracting beneficial insects.
The Braconid wasp is a beneficial insect that can help you control hornworms in your garden. This wasp lays it's eggs on worm and when they hatch the larvae will feed on the hornworm. So if you come across a hornworm covered in white eggs- leave it! And allow more beneficials to be born in your garden.
Use companion planting to help attract these wasps. Planting herbs such as basil, cilantro, thyme and oregano in your tomato beds will attract the braconid wasp and reduce the number of hornworms in your garden!
Flea beetles are tiny black beetles that look, not surprisingly, like fleas! These common garden pests tend to target crops like eggplant and brassicas, though they can also do a number on tomato, pepper, and other nightshade seedlings.
Most of the time if you can get your crops past the seedling stage they will be able to fend off the flea beetles. In our garden eggplant and wonderberries are the hardest hit, and if I don't treat them right away the seedlings are all but destroyed by the flea beetles.
My number one defense against flea beetles is diatomaceous earth. I keep the plants heavily dusted with DE from planting time until they are starting to flower. Once they start to flower they are usually big enough that the flea beetles don't bother them anymore and I don't want to risk harming any pollinators with DE.
Be sure to reapply after heavy dew and rain!
Hand pick off any eggs, larva, and adult beetles you see. Chickens love them!
In our garden we rely mostly on handpicking, it's not the kids' favorite chore- but one we do every evening during potato growing season.
Sometimes I just give up and we bring the plant stalks inside and let the kids watch the worms turn into butterflies! If you can't beat them- learn from them!
Pick off the adults and eggs every. single. day.
And just plant a lot of squash so that it will take awhile to eat through them all. Alternately, only plant squash every other year so that the bugs might move on during the off year.
Mexican bean beetles are garden pests that target all types of beans- and I occasionally find them on our pumpkin plants as well. They are similar in size and appearance to a large ladybug- only more orangish-copper in color. The larva are odd-looking- soft bodies that are bright yellow with black spines along their backs. They will eat through your beans leaving a lacy appearance to the leaves.
Damage to plants is most severe in the hot summer months of July and August, so planting early maturing varieties can help you get a harvest before the pests move in. Similar to aphids, a mixture of soap or neem oil sprayed on the plants will help with infestation.
Companion planting with marigolds will offer some protection, as will interplanting with potatoes- beans will help deter the potato beetle and the potatoes will help deter the bean beetles. It's win-win!
And don't forget to add picking bean beetles off the plants to your daily chore list! I keep a jug of soapy water in the garden for just this task!
Delaying your planting. The highest damage is usually in the early summer months. So by delaying your first crops by a couple of weeks to a month, you will miss the main first attack of these insects.
Mulching with hay, straw, or plastic to reduce the number of eggs laid in the soil near the plants.
Kaolin clay has been used to deter the bugs from feeding and laying eggs on your plants.
You can read more about how to control cucumber beetles on my article How to Control Cucumber Beetles Naturally.
With a little hard work and a few organic ingredients you can get all those common garden pests out of your garden and off your veggies! What is the biggest garden pest you deal with every year?
I control Orange Citrus Bugs by knocking them off the tree into a saucepan of boiling water, I then boil them on the cooker ,strain and spray the liquid onto my citrus trees, it works for around two years before a need for a respray.

4G LTE Speed Vs. Wi-Fi
By Dan Stone
While Wi-Fi has upward of 10 times the bandwidth potential as cellular 4G Long-Term Evolution with the latest standard updates, in real world situations, Wi-Fi performs a few times faster at best. Which provides better performance is contingent on signal strength, network congestion and data plan caps, rather than the technology's never-seen-in-real-life theoretical top speed. Rest assured that LTE and Wi-Fi are both capable of meeting your bandwidth needs.
4G LTE Top Speeds
LTE is a wireless network data-transfer technology designed to surpass and replace the preceding 3G wireless technology. Devices that use LTE have a theoretical performance top end of a speedy 173 megabits per second. However, in a real world situations, LTE devices perform around 5 to 12 Mbps with peak download speeds hitting the 50 Mbps range. Comparatively, the best 3G speeds peak around 4 Mbps and hover around 1 to 2 Mbps.
Wi-Fi Top Speeds
The two most recent Wi-Fi standards -- wireless-N and wireless-AC -- get theoretical data-transfer speeds of up to 600 and 1300 Mbps, respectively. However, Wi-Fi is highly susceptible to interference and rapidly degrades in real world performance. Wireless-N users can expect around 40 to 50 Mbps and Wireless-AC users around 70 to 100 Mbps -- both faster than LTE. The problem is that those high-speed Wi-Fi data transfer rates apply only to information exchanged between devices on the same router, making your Internet Service Provider's maximum data speed a bottleneck. Introductory-tier broadband services offer data rates between 3 and 10 Mbps, which is slower than LTE. Higher-level tiers offer 50 to 100 Mbps packages, sometime providing only a quarter to half that in real life.
Congestion Plays a Role
Unless you're alone in the middle of nowhere, you're competing for the same Wi-Fi or LTE bandwidth used by other people and their devices. Network congestion plays a major role in how fast Wi-Fi and LTE devices perform. Multiple Wi-Fi networks within range of one another operating at the same frequency cause data speeds to drop. Microwaves and baby monitors located between the phone and the wireless access point cause speed-reducing interference as well. Additionally, LTE cellular towers can handle only so much data at once, so download speeds plummet when hundreds or thousands of people simultaneously use the Internet on the same tower.
Location is everything when comparing Wi-Fi and LTE speeds. Wi-Fi speeds drop the farther your device is from the router or access point. It is also true that LTE speeds drop the farther you are from the cellular tower, but you typically move closer to another tower as you move away from one. The key difference is that cellular drop-off occurs after miles, whereas you completely lose Wi-Fi signal after a few hundred feet -- so you might get faster Wi-Fi speeds in your basement next to your router but faster LTE speeds in your attic.

These cuts may appear to stem from what appears to be higher figures for actual "Other Non-Tax Revenue," which includes legal aid, from the interim projections for the 2018-2019 year, suggesting some concern that these expenses have been growing unsustainably. But a closer look at these figures suggests there are larger motivations at play.
A letter from the Attorney General indicates that Legal Aid Ontario will be prevented from doing refugee and immigration law from the provincial funds which are provided. The provincial government's position is that the federal government should pay for these expenses, as they are properly in that government's jurisdiction. Although "Revenues from All Other Federal Transfers Combined" have decreased since the fall economic statement, it appears as if this is offset by transfers to Legal Aid Ontario, meaning the federal government likely has already increased these payments.
The federal government currently provides $16 million in funding for immigration refugee law for cases before the Federal court and federal tribunals, but the entire expense is approximately $34 million. The Attorney General is calling for the federal government to increase its contributions to $45 million. Although there appears to be a legitimate argument of downloading of these services, Ontario's position is likely related to broader sentiments towards immigration, and in particular immigration by visible minorities.
Instead, LAO will have utilize its core functions with provincial funding, focusing on bail hearings with duty counsel, and contracting lawyers for criminal, family and other cases. Payment to lawyers for these services are already modest, and it may be possible that freezes or cuts may be passed on to lawyers doing this work. Justification for this in the budget are through promises of modernization and transformation of legal services.
Lawyers often engage in an exercise of overemphasizing the importance of legal aid in access to justice. There are numerous examples, in particular in civil disputes where both sides are funded by legal aid, where public funding of these parties only spurns more conflict and is an inefficient use of the court's time and resources. A disproportionate focus on legal aid is perhaps understandable, as it is the one solution that allows lawyers in private practice to most directly impact those in need of legal assistance. But this has never been the comprehensive and complete solution.
Statistics support the view that accessing the justice system with the help of a legal professional is increasingly unaffordable to most people. Nearly 12 million Canadians will experience at least one legal problem in a given three-year period, yet few will have the resources to solve them. According to an American study from a few years ago, as much as 70%-90% of legal needs in society go unmet.We all know that unresolved legal problems adversely affect people's lives and, ultimately, the public purse. Among the hardest hit are the middle class – who earn too much to qualify for legal aid, but frequently not enough to retain a lawyer for a matter of any complexity or length. Additionally, members of poor and vulnerable groups are particularly prone to legal problems, and legal problems tend to lead to problems of other types, such as health issues.
Public confidence that legal aid funding is being used appropriately is an important consideration for any government, especially where emerging technologies are already demonstrating some innovative solutions. If the projected savings of $164 million annually from legal aid are directly invested in technology, we may in fact create a better system in the long-term.
Although it's true that many vulnerable members of society will be significantly affected by these cuts, these same members of society have the most to benefit from a modernization of the system.
But, it won't matter how modern the justice system is, if people can't access it.
The one exception to all of this is with serious criminal proceedings, especially where there is the possibility of incarceration. The absence of proper funding for legal aid in this context has potentially disastrous consequences. This was illustrated recently in an unusual decision by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in R. v. McIlvride-Lister.
The accused is a transgender female who plead guilty to one count of sexual assault on December 18, 2018. Six other accounts, relating to sexual touching, sexual exploitation, assault, threatening to kill or injure animals, and the killing of animals were not plead, but would be considered as aggravating factors on sentencing. A joint submission of three years in jail was about to be offered, when something unusual happened.
At the time I didn't have $30,000 that my lawyer wanted to go to trial and I didn't have money to hire a new lawyer. He didn't seem confident, and told me that he didn't know whether I – he didn't think I would win if we went to trial, and that my best option for getting through this and getting on with my life was to just take the deal that they were offering, that I would be out in as little as six months, and I could move on and put this behind me and everything else.
…under pressure of not having time to really be able to consider all this, what do you do when you have a noose around your neck and you feel like you're being told if you fight this and you lose you're looking at five to eight years, your life is over, or you take this deal and …you can be out in as little as six months and move on with your life.
I feel stuck in a corner. At the time I did not have options to proceed with another lawyer. How do I go to trial with a lawyer who doesn't really seem confident that he wants to go to trial at all, or that I'm even going to have a chance at winning my innocence?
This type of scenario occurs regularly across the province in courthouses everywhere. What made this scenario different was the accused's concerns about gender transition supports while incarcerated, and an extended sentence would make this extremely difficult.
A guilty plea is a formal admission of guilt, and Justice Pomerance highlighted the societal interest in finality to ensure stability, integrity and efficiency of the justice system. However, a valid guilty plea must be voluntary, unequivocal, and informed. Although voluntary and informed, the plea here was not necessary unequivocal, and even if it was, it may have created a miscarriage of justice.
 …An accused need not prove innocence at a trial. She should not have to prove innocence to have a trial. Moreover, the issue of guilt or innocence is the very issue to be determined at a trial if the plea is struck. To require a showing of innocence would render the trial superfluous. Worse, it would supplant the trial with a process in which the onus is placed on the accused rather than on the prosecution.
 Therefore, the question is not whether the person who offered the plea is actually innocent, or can prove innocence. The question is whether the person who offered the plea believed that she was innocent and pleaded guilty despite that belief.
 Where a miscarriage of justice is alleged, the court must consider the whole of the evidence, in assessing whether the plea was based on something other than a genuine acknowledgment of guilt. A plea should only be disturbed in the face of credible and cogent evidence. It will not be a simple matter for an accused person to counter admissions voluntarily offered at the time of the plea. Something more than a bald assertion of innocence will likely be required in most cases. The testimony of counsel who acted on the plea will be important, as will the plea proceedings themselves. Pressures that fall short of negating voluntariness may also be relevant at this stage of the inquiry. The determination is, by necessity, case and fact specific. It engages an element of judicial discretion, but sets a high bar for judicial intervention.
 Absent cross-examination, there could be no meaningful assessment of the actual strength of the Crown's case, or the likely outcome of a contested trial. I question whether it is ever appropriate for the prosecution to hold the ability to test evidence hostage as part of a plea negotiation.
The inherent power imbalances found within the criminal justice system requires that the same state that would seek to incarcerate a criminal accused also ensure that the same accused is not unduly pressured by financial or other constraints to simply surrender. The best protection against this abuse is competent and effective counsel, who aren't required to become destitute in their services of the public.
Legal aid cuts may be necessary for political or efficiency purposes, but most be conducted with a commitment to the integrity of the system. If system transformations are to occur, the interim period cannot simply be discounted while a few fall between the cracks until the system is fixed. The stakes for these individuals is simply too high.
Although the vast majority of criminal prosecutions are resolved through the various incentives designed to encourage guilty pleas, the financial cost of maintaining innocence without a recognition of criminal culpability should never be the motivation for doing so. The cost of a wrongful conviction is something that no government can budget for, because it is simply immeasurable.

What Is An End of Life Doula?
As an end-of-life Doula, Reiki Practitioner, and Bereavement Specialist, I can provide support before, during and after the death, helping to facilitate a more beautiful and less painful journey.
What Does An End of Life Doula Do?
The vast majority of people would rather do just about anything, other than to discuss death (their own, their parents, their spouse, or their children). On any other difficult subject, most people turn to a professional for advice and guidance, someone who has experience in the area of their struggle. When it is the topic of health, you turn to doctors and specialists, when it's a legal matter, a lawyer. When the doctors run out of options to save your life, you're faced with that conversation... how do you want to die? It should make sense then to ask for the help of a professional who has experience with assisting people who are dying. That person would be an End-of-Life Doula.
How To Start the Conversation About Death
What is an End-of-Life Doula? The word "Doula" is Greek for servant or helper. In the same way that a birth Doula supports a woman as their child enters the world, an End-of-Life Doula supports a person during their journey leaving this world.
Far too often, the important discussions about how each person wants to pass their final days, is left too late, and the end-of-life experience morphs into the wishes of the loved ones family. It simply doesn't reflect the dying person's wishes. The periods just before, and just after the loved one's death are rife with emotional chaos that often comes with someone's death. Family and loved ones may be acting out of love, but just as often, not with respect of the dying person's last wishes, because it's just so difficult. People and their families are different. It follows, that people have extremely different views on how they want to pass from this world. Is it quietly at home? Is it using all possible medical means to buy more time? Is it by medical assisted suicide when you can no longer tolerate the pain and treatment? Do you want your family around you? Do you want to slip away peacefully with no one watching? The choices are countless, but the "how" is often poorly understood by anyone.
An End-of-Life Doula can bring about meaningful conversations about the options, provide support and practical solutions to facilitate the person's death wishes and mediate the conflicts that so often arise when a person, whose death is imminent, wants to "talk about it". They can provide comfort and relief to both the dying individual and the family and/or primary caregivers. If the patient has had a prolonged period of illness, or is elderly with significant impairments, there is a huge toll, both physical and emotional, on those around them.
Having knowledgeable, compassionate support can help make the experience more meaningful. An end-of-life Doula is a professional, trained to deal with most of the non-medical aspects of death, who provides emotional, physical and educational support to someone who is living with a terminal illness, preparing for their death and/or actively dying. This support also extends to their loved ones.
Being There For Support
An end-of-life Doula makes him or herself available to assist a dying individual often, also with the family before, during and after death occurs. He/She provides physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual support, if requested. This role may be referred to by different names such as: death midwife, end-of-life coach, funeral guide, death-and-dying guide, etc.
An End-of-Life Doula offers and/or assists in a wide range of services that vary greatly, depending on each individual's circumstances and wishes. More recently, the End of Life Doulas have been associated with the Home Death/Home Funeral movement, where people have sought to contain their end of life journey to their home, a place where they are most at peace. The Doula seeks to provide a holistic, hands-on, non-medical approach to the fundamentally natural process of dying. While it can assume many forms, the intent of an End-of-Life Doula is typically to help transition or "bridge the gap" for both the living and the dying. The focus of medical practitioners is on saving lives and the role of a funeral director (and others) begins after death occurs. The End-of-Life Doula functions across the journey from one state to the next.
For The Dying Individual
Whether in the family's home, hospice, hospital or other setting, an End-of-Life Doula often provides the gift of companionship. This might comprise simply of holding the dying person's hand; actively listening to his or her comments; conversing and attempting to offer answers and comfort to the individual's questions,concerns, and needs; watching television or reading a book aloud; discussing end-of-life wishes; helping the dying individual resolve and find peace about real or imagined wrongs; etc.
For The Family Members
Whether in the family's home, hospice, hospital or other setting, an End-of-life Doula provides the gift of continuity across the pan-death spectrum, i.e., before, during and after a death occurs. This might comprise of performing various basic tasks usually conducted by a home caregiver; staying with the dying individual while family members are away; facilitating supportive communication and/or conversations between all parties; assisting in the creation of meaningful goodbyes during the remaining hours of life.
An important part of the service I offer as an End-of-Life Doula, is to provide information and support to the loved ones of the dying, so that they can focus on caring for the loved one and help them make the most of what time is left. Aside from providing insight and knowledge about what to expect during the dying process, I can also provide information and support for important practical actions that need attention, such as:
Creating and implementing advance care directives,
Grief and bereavement support for the dying and their loved ones,
The practice and importance of self care for caregivers,
Assistance to organize and facilitate a home funeral, if that is the wish of the dying person.

The Irish now advance to the state tournament to play Dunmore.
BOILING SPRINGS - York Catholic finally brought home another district championship.
It was fitting that some of the York Catholic players that had experienced so much pain in this game during recent years finally ran out to midfield to accept the championship trophy. After losing three consecutive district championship games, York Catholic came out on top, defeating Newport, 51-21, in the District 3 Class 2A final Saturday night at Bud Ecker Field at Boiling Springs High School.
"Seeing our heartbreak the past couple years, we didn't want to see that again," senior running back Jakkar Kinard said.
"It's everything. I mean, I honestly dreamed about this kind of thing. It means everything. I'm so happy. It's amazing, man."
The Irish advance to the state tournament to play Dunmore at a site and time to be determined.
The elusive second district title in program history didn't come easily for the Irish. Locked in a back-and-forth game, with both teams piling up huge offensive numbers, the Irish (10-1) managed to hold Newport (9-2) scoreless in the second half.
"We hoped every year, this year we had the best chance so we went out and prepared and got it," senior Irish quarterback Dan Yokemick said.
Freed up to run behind York Catholic's big offensive line, Yokemick did a bit of everything, fueling York Catholic's 572 yards of total offense. He rushed for 298 yards and three scores. He also threw for two scores. Kinard picked up another 239 yards rushing, and he scored three first-half touchdowns.
"They are the most athletic big boys I've ever met," Yokemick said about his offensive line. "They're fun to play with. They make it easy for me."
Yokemick didn't mince words. The game turned in the second half when the Irish mixed up their defensive look. Switching from a three-man defensive front to a four-man front, they and Newport couldn't keep pace.
"They couldn't stop our offense, but our defense won this game," Yokemick said.
The Irish picked off five passes, but that only happened in large part because the Irish defense figured out how to slow Newport's running attack. Eli Goodling rushed for 117 first-half yards. He was held to 44 yards rushing in the second half.
Trailing, 39-21, on their first possession of the second half, the Buffaloes put together a 15-play, 51-yard drive.
York Catholic coach Eric Depew cheered on his defensive unit, telling them, "This is what we want," when Newport slowly moved the ball downfield.
Kinard, who picked off two passes in the game, ended the drive by snatching a pass attempt in the back of the end zone. Then Yokemick helped seal the win with a 91-yard touchdown run.
"We had to get a stop, get a stop, and we finally made some adjustments," Depew said. "They ate all that clock, and then we got the ball back. That was in our favor."
It marked York Catholic's first District 3 championship since the 1982 season, the first year of the District 3 football tournament.
The big plays proved to be the difference in the game, with York Catholic breaking off three touchdown runs of 63 yards or more.
"We want to enjoy this, this is something we've been wanting for a long time," Depew said. "We've been running this race, and to get it ... and finally come up with it, we're going to enjoy this one."

JANDISOFT has just unveiled brand new footage of it's upcoming game, Mad World MMO, an ambitious development in the MMORPG genre. The trailer highlighted a few core features including strategic guild gameplay, chaotic PvE and PVP battles, resource gathering, extensive skill progression trees and boss raiding.
Mad World is an immersive MMORPG at its core, boasting a unique hand-drawn gritty art style presented in a 2D isometric perspective, illustrating a story which takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans, struggling to survive, battle against Demons.
Whilst offering PvE raiding commanding strategy, dynamic boss encounters, competitive PvP environments and other characteristics widely accompanied in traditional MMOs, the development of the game will put a core focus on combat and massively multiplayer experiences. Balanced, challenging gameplay with depth, a constant pulse on the community, with an enduring perseverance to innovate is where JANDISOFT believes the genre can shine the brightest. In contrast, Mad World's grim dark setting, gameplay and narrative seek to rediscover the emotional experiences, the euphoria of hard-fought achievement and the gravity of decisive battles that the genre has long forgotten.
Built on HTML5 the game will be playable on the vast majority of browsers, enabling cross-play between PC, mobile and other compatible media. An additional benefit is that without requiring client-specific download and installation, JANDISOFT intends to support easier accessibility to as many players as possible, wherever they are, whenever they want to brave the insanity that is Mad World MMO.
JANDISOFT hopes to release the game sometime in 2019. Alpha and beta testing opportunities are available. For newsletter sign-ups and more information please visit the official website ( www.madworldmmo.com ).


There's a popular Israeli saying: "Haifa works, Jerusalem prays, and Tel Aviv plays." This is not strictly fair to Haifa, the country's third-largest city. While it's home to Israel's biggest and busiest port and has an undeniably bustling, businesslike air, there's also a real resort feel about the place. The center sprawls over the steep, lush face of Mount Carmel, the waterfront is lined with wide, sandy beaches, and the restaurants are famous throughout Israel.
Unlike Tel Aviv, which is relatively secular, and Jerusalem, which is deeply religious, Haifa is a multicultural community of six faiths living side by side. In addition to Jews, Christians and Muslims, Ahmedi and Druze people live there, and the town is the world center for the Baha'i faith, a belief system that fittingly believes in all the messengers of God and a unifying vision of the nature and purpose of life. Haifa's skyline is peppered with minarets and church spires, and the beautiful Baha'i Gardens -- a great swath of manicured green cascading down the hillside -- is the city's most famous landmark.
What's good about Haifa as a port of call is that it's more of a gateway to the rolling hills of Galilee and its associated biblical sights to the east -- as well as Akko, directly across the sparkling bay, with its magnificent Crusader city -- than a destination in its own right. Other highlights in the region include Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights (where Israel, Syria and Jordan connect). If you're after a relaxing day, head for Haifa's southern beaches.
Although Haifa is compact as a port, it's as hilly as San Francisco, so get those walking shoes ready. Shops and restaurants tend to be in clusters -- malls are big there -- but if you do want to discover street life, you can't beat the restored German Templar Colony at the foot of the Baha'i Gardens. It forms a continuous avenue from the stepped gardens through the restored 19th-century mansions -- now shops, bars and restaurants -- to the sea.
Haifa port is right in the center of the city, an easy walk from the main sights. The railway station is next door, with direct trains north to Akko or, if you're feeling ambitious and have time, south to Tel Aviv. The cute little subway, the Carmelit, runs straight up the hill (the base station is a couple of blocks from the port) to Carmel Center, the main shopping and restaurant area.
The cruise and ferry terminal at the port includes a seating area, an expansive duty-free shop, a souvenir shop and a cafe. You can walk from there through the German Templar Colony to the base of the Baha'i Gardens, the Carmelit cable car and the nearest beach.
Petty crime is rare in Israel, but you should, nonetheless, look after valuables -- especially on the beach. There is an ongoing threat of terrorist attacks, but you'll find people going about their daily lives, apparently undeterred. Depending on the security situation, keep an eye out for public demonstrations (stay away from these), and remain vigilant at all times. If you want to travel to the West Bank (for example, to Bethlehem), you will need a passport to get through the Israeli checkpoints, which can be time-consuming.
Trains are cheap and efficient if you want to travel independently to Akko (30 minutes) or Tel Aviv (75 minutes). Haifa itself is easy to navigate, either by using the Carmelit or a taxi. On foot, it's a challenge because of the steep hills; pedestrian routes cut through the hairpin bends via stone staircases, but you'll need a map.
Taxis are metered and can be hailed on the streets. They wait outside the port if a ship is in. If you can't find one around town, head to one of the big hotels, where they often gather. Round up the fare when you pay; a large tip is not expected.
If you want to go farther afield independently -- to Jerusalem, for example -- it can be done by train. But beware that you have to change, and there would be a certain amount of stress involved in getting back to the ship in time. Because the main jumping-off point for Jerusalem and Tel Aviv is Ashdod, farther south, fewer tours to these cities are offered from Haifa, but they're easy enough to arrange. Cruise lines will tailor-make tours to either city, using a private car and guide; distances are short in Israel, so pretty much anywhere north of Jerusalem is doable.
The currency is the New Israeli Shekel or NIS. (See www.xe.com for current exchange rates.) Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Traveler's checks are an increasingly rare phenomenon, but they can be cashed in all major banks. Banks are normally open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sunday to Thursday. On Monday and Thursday, they're also open from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. On Fridays and the eve of Jewish holidays, hours are limited to 8:30 a.m. to noon.
Hebrew is the official language, along with Arabic (although in Haifa you'll hear less Arabic than in Jerusalem). English is the language of business, and most people speak it extremely well -- young people often with a strong American (versus British) influence. It's polite to learn a few words of Hebrew, if only for greeting people (shalom) and saying thank you (todah).
Israeli lunches can be as lavish or as simple as you want, and Haifa is home to some excellent restaurants. What everybody should try, though, is falafel, the Israeli staple of chickpea patties. It's available in hole-in-the-wall places, special falafel fast-food joints or more upscale restaurants. Take a toasted pita, stuff it with salad and spicy salsas or pickles, cram some fried falafel balls in on top (the coriander and chili ones are best), and pour tahini sauce (sesame paste mixed with garlic and lemon juice) over the whole ensemble. It's cheap, delicious and unbelievably filling.
Haifa's various districts are known for different cuisines and restaurant types. Downtown, look for Arabic restaurants; the Bat Galim Promenade along the seafront has the best fish restaurants; chichi Carmel Centre on top of Mount Carmel is home to masses of coffee shops; and Wadi Nisnas is the place to go for the best falafels and a colorful ethnic food market.
Hashmura 1872 (15 Ben Gurion Blvd., in the German Templar Colony, 04 855 1872) serves classical French cuisine in a beautifully restored mansion in the German Colony.
Abu Yusuf (1 Ha-Meginim Street, off Paris Square near the port; 04 866 3723) specializes in typical Israeli and Arabic cuisine -- falafel, hummus and grills. It also has a massive salad bar.
Ramses Seafood (22 Ben Gurion Blvd., in the German Templar Colony; 04 855 3918) offers a wonderful combination of Middle Eastern salads, dips and fresh fish.
Falafel HaZkenim (HaWadi 18; 04 851 4959) has the best falafel in Haifa, according to many. Located on a side street in the Arab section of the city, HaZkenim is a hole in the wall with a limited menu, but the falafel is delectable and filling.
Judaica in every shape and form is on sale in Haifa and the places you'll visit on tours. Cookbooks, history books, menorahs (nine-branched candelabras), seder plates (for Passover), matzo covers, educational children's toys, jewelry and yarmulkes (Jewish caps) in everything from satin to suede are available. You'll also find ubiquitous fridge magnets of Jerusalem's skyline, test tubes of water from the Jordan river, mud products from the Dead Sea, T-shirts, beach towels and books of Jewish jokes. All the big tourist centers in Israel sell beautiful jewelry, as well as plates and wall hangings in everything from pewter to silver and gold. Loose diamonds are also a good value.
For a good mall, try the Castra Art, Recreation and Shopping Center at 8 Moshe Fliman Street. It's a huge, modern complex of galleries, shops and restaurants with a busy cultural program of exhibitions.

Comanche broke the race record - CYCA pic
Comanche claims another record
Comanche, owned by Jim Cooney and Samantha Grant, has claimed a second race record in as many outings, taking line honours in the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore Series Newcastle Bass Island Yacht Race.
After a fast trip to Bass Island, but a slower ride back and run down Sydney Harbour, the super maxi shaved two hours off the record created by Ichi Ban (the Carkeek 60) in the inaugural race in 2014, finishing in 18 hours 34 mins 38 secs.
During the first few hours of the race, in favourable easterly winds, Comanche was able to make the most her length and large sail area, extending out in front of the chasing fleet.
After rounding the Newcastle turning mark in the late hours of Friday night, the 100-footer was able to keep the momentum high as she started the longer of the three legs from Newcastle, south past Sydney Heads and around Bass Island off the coast of Wollongong.
As the team progressed on this leg, however, the wind decreased as Cooney and crew closed in on Bass Island.
Boat captain, John Hildebrand, said the result was another positive for the team, particularly in the lead-up to the Rolex Sydney Hobart, in which Comanche broke the race record and took line honours last year.
"The first bit of the race was as forecast, then the wind petered out. It ended up being light and a bit fluky – a bit all over the place… but overall we're pretty happy," Hildebrand says.
"Jim (Cooney) loves it – he's passionate about his sailing and he loves breaking records. That's one of the things he bought the boat for – to break records and to win the Hobart."
The focus now turns to the overall winner in the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore Series Newcastle Bass Island Yacht Race, with a logjam. SailExchange, Grace O'Malley, Enterprise, Kayimai, St Jude and Ichi Ban are battling it out.

Joyce McMillan: What we learned from this year's Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe
Ningali Lawford-Wolf in The Secret River
Joyce McMillan
Published: 15:29 Monday 02 September 2019 Updated: 13:15 Thursday 05 September 2019
The terrible legacy of colonialism emerged as a key theme of this year's Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe, as the capital once again took its place as a global platform without parallel, writes Joyce McMillan
It began with the very first show I saw on this year's Fringe, Deer Woman at the Canada Hub; a terrible, disturbing tale, powerfully told by actor and storyteller Cherish Violet Blood, of one native Canadian woman's response to the shockingly high rate of violent death among women of her community. It continued through Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools, a powerful dialogue between southern and northern Canada staged at The Studio during the first weekend of the International Festival.
The cast of The Desk, directed by Reetta Honkakoski
It appeared again, with a Scottish slant, in the radiant Scottish storyteller Mara Menzies's show Blood And Gold, at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and in Javaad Allipoor's astonishing Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Teheran; it was unexpectedly strong in David Hare's Scots-accented Peter Gynt, at the Festival Theatre. And it reached its climax in Sydney Theatre Company's European premier performances of the wonderful The Secret River, based on Kate Grenville's novel, which tells of the white settlement of the area around Sydney in the early 19th century, and of the fate of the Dharug aboriginal people who lived there; a production touched by tragedy, when its great star Ningali Lawford-Wolf, who first came to Edinburgh in 1995 with her Fringe show Ningali, about being a young aboriginal woman at that time, was taken ill and died. The company will now continue their European tour in her memory.
The theme that emerged so strongly in the first week of festival theatre, in other words, was the theme of colonisation and colonialism, what it does to those whose land is taken, what it does to those who take it; and although it is a fundamental theme in itself – and one consciously pursued by programmer Kate McGrath in her You Are Here section of the Edinburgh International Festival programme – what was thrilling about this year's International Festival and Fringe, for me, was how they provided a new and powerful lens through which to view some of the Fringe's long-standing preoccupations with themes including race, gender and environment.
Without colonialism, after all, no slavery, no legacy of slavery in modern race relations; and perhaps no threatened return of white supremacism, of the kind explored from many different angles by the brilliant Dael Orlandersmith of New York in her mighty monologue Until The Flood, at the Traverse. Without colonialism, no savage assaults on "faraway" natural environments from the Arctic to the Amazonian rainforest, and perhaps no climate crisis; the climate crisis so beautifully meditated upon in Ontroerend Goed's stunning Are We Not Drawn Forward To New Era, at Zoo Southside, and hinted at in the unsettling poetry of Stef Smith's Enough, at the Traverse.
Without colonialism, fewer huge disparities in wealth between nations and continents, and therefore less likelihood of the refugee crisis so eloquently and spectacularly explored in Nicola McCartney and Dritan Kastrati's How Not To Drown at the Traverse, and – in a completely different style, with free beer – by the inimitable Sh!t Theatre at Summerhall, in their Malta-inspired show Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum With Expats.
The Patient Gloria'at the Traverse
And without colonialism, The Secret River argues, perhaps fewer extreme patriarchal attitudes in western culture, as men increasingly exclude women from the knowledge of just how their superior wealth and status has been won. From Gina Moxley's fabulous Abbey Theatre and Pan Pan show The Patient Gloria, at the Traverse, through Woven Voices' Subject Mater at Paradise In The Vault, to new Scottish company Groupwork's The Afflicted at Summerhall, company after company looked back over the deep history of the last 60 years to try to understand the extraordinary pressures and inequalities imposed on women during that time of apparent progress, and their continuing struggle for equality. Some of the real-life 1960s Californian psychiatric interviews that form the basis for The Patient Gloria fairly take the breath away with their overt, controlling hostility; and from the award-winning Berlin physical theatre show Raven at Assembly Roxy, about pressures on working mothers, to Sasha and Taylor's circus-inflected Everything I See I Swallow at Summerhall, this year's Fringe never ceased to observe and anatomise the continuing barrage of real-world and online judgment and criticism young women now face, on issues ranging from personal appearance and academic performance to sexuality and basic life choices.
There were also shows that went straight for the politics of this tense moment, including Henry Naylor's The Nights, at the Gilded Balloon, about a right-wing tabloid journalist attempting to exploit Iraq veterans and their views, or Reetta Honkakoski's thrilling and chilling physical theatre piece The Desk, at Summerhall, about the anti-democratic appeal to their followers of the new generation of charismatic "strong" leaders. And just occasionally, as in Owen O'Neill's beautiful, hilarious and Beckettian Shaving The Dead at Assembly George Square Studios, or Rowan Rheingans's Dispatches On The Red Dress at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, there was a moment of meditation, gentle or absurd, that made all the stresses and horrors of today's news seem more bearable.
The Fringe, in particular, is now such a vast event, and so controversial in many aspects, that it is impossible to generalise about it in any meaningful way; for any statement that's made, it's immediately possible to produce dozens of counter-examples.
What seemed to me true this year, though, was that the best of the theatre artists on the Fringe, and in the International Festival, had once again taken a look around the chaos of the world we currently seem to inhabit, and found ways of understanding and exploring that chaos that remind us, at least, of humanity's extraordinary capacity – given the will – to analyse, to invent, and to imagine our way into new worlds. That the International Festival and Fringe have their downsides is obvious; still too white, still too expensive for many, and still poorly managed, in terms of their impact, by a city council that commands little confidence. At heart, though, Edinburgh in August remains a peaceful global platform without parallel: a place where people of good will and imagination were once again able to gather briefly to think about where we stand, in this late summer of 2019; and to dream about how we might begin to move forward.

The title "Au Pair" originates from the French term meaning "on a par" or "equal to" indicating that the relationship is intended to be one of equals.
Generally au pairs are not trained childcare professionals and should not be left in sole charge of youngsters under 3 years old.
Au pairs in the main tend to be female and sometimes male or even couples! Specific daily and weekly duties will be agreed between the family and the au pair in advance, which may last up to 2 years. Placements over 12 months are less common though as young people tend to want to move on.
It is important that the family correctly identifies their requirements in order to find a good match. Factors to consider will include: maturity, childcare experience, driving ability, start date, length of stay, etc.
Pocket money is paid to the Au Pair on a weekly basis. Due to the cost of living and strong competition for Au Pairs our recommended levels of pocket money are higher than BAPAA's. We recommend a minimum of £90 for 25 hours and £105 for 30 hours.
An Au Pair must have 2 days a week of free time.
If you are keen to spend a little more time on yourself and your children do please get in touch to see what we have that might well make all the difference to your life. Au Pairs are also expecting to spend 2 nights a week babysitting so you might even get to see more of your friends or husband! Might not be quite what you're after, but hopefully you will get what you need from the relationship, someone who's on your side to genuinely help.

I would like to get all of the events on the calendar on save. I know that you can use clientEvents while using fullCalendar by itself:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('clientEvents');

Is there an equivalent for ui-calendar? I guess I am asking what syntax to use to access the clientEvents. I cannot figure it out. Another option I tried was pushing each event into $scope.eventSources[0].events but it doesn't seem right to have to do that.

A: I believe I figured out my own question.
I had to user the value of the calendar attribute in the HTML (calendar = myCalendar) and refer to it using uiCalendarConfig. It returns an array of all of the events on the calendar. I am new to angular and not too familiar with directives.
var myCalendar = uiCalendarConfig.calendars.myCalendar

myCalendar.fullCalendar('clientEvents', function(event) {
   return event
});

David French on The Morning Show and #MeToo
December 27, 2019 January 19, 2023 / plstepp
David French wrote a column about THE SCENE in The Morning Show. He says some important things here about the American church's response to the whole #MeToo thing, and an opportunity that we may be missing.
(I am reposting the whole thing here, because I can't figure out how to link to it at TheDispatch.com. WARNING: adult topics below.)
#MeToo, Power Disparities, and Why the Church Is Struggling to Help
This would be an ideal moment for a holistic Christian ethic that focuses on the rich theology of relationships and marriage.
Many years ago, when I was but a young lad practicing law, I had a fascinating conversation with one of the leading divorce attorneys in Nashville. For the first time in my young career, I'd been pulled into a sprawling divorce case (our client owned a large business, and the value of the business was at issue in his divorce), and at dinner one evening—after a long day of depositions—his lead counsel in the divorce started telling stories.
(As a total aside, if you've never enjoyed a long dinner with a southern trial lawyer, it's your loss. They have the best stories, and they tell them in the best way.)
She represented a glittering country music clientele, the leading professionals in the city, and the occasional mega-church pastor or other powerful person caught in the throes of a messy marital split. Her stories were astonishing. Wealthy, accomplished people would seem to completely lose their minds. Some of the stories were deeply disturbing—involving violence, stalking, and intimidating behavior. Some were laugh-out-loud funny because of the sheer stupidity of the actions, and the infinite ways foolish people were caught doing foolish things.
And, again, this was a slice of Nashville's most "successful" class. My friend lamented that she couldn't write a book without betraying client confidences, and then she lamented that no one would publish it because no publisher would believe it. "Truth is always stranger than fiction," she said, "And I promise you that my clients' teenage children are more composed and mature than their adult parents."
For some reason—probably because of the insane stories—that conversation (and that comment) stuck with me. Then, as I got older, I saw bits and pieces of that insanity unfold in the places where I worked, the churches I attended, or the institutions I represented. There was the rock-star married senior pastor who disappeared with the married church secretary. There was the senior executive of a Christian organization who initiated an affair with a mid-level employee (and then also tried to seduce her daughter). There was the senior partner of a law firm who grew frustrated when a secretary refused his advances, so he threw her against a wall.
Don't get me started on the mess in the military. When I deployed to Iraq, I deployed with an all-male combat arms unit. When I talked to JAG officers from other bases, they envied the "simplicity" of my job. I had to deal "only" with detainees, rules of engagement, and "normal" military justice. They had to deal with all those things and what they called "the drama"—the seemingly endless scandals spawned by deployment relationships that were either unlawful from the inception or that spiraled out of control.
Through it all, there was one word that had particular (and complicated) resonance in relationship after relationship—power. Here's the easy way to phrase the #MeToo movement—powerful men have used their status and authority to abuse and exploit women, even to the point of viewing access to their bodies as a twisted sort of right.
Here's the complicated way to phrase the #MeToo confusion—there are many, many women who find male success (and, yes, power) an inherent part of the complex stew of attraction, and they desire and (sometimes) initiate relationships with successful men. Indeed, this dynamic is so well-known and so much a matter of basic human experience that many men seek success in large part (if not primarily) to enhance their attractiveness to women. For much of human history, the "exactly equal" status pairing between men and women was the exception, not the rule. The man had more education. He made most (or all) of the money. Even now, it's a stubborn fact of life that many millions of women don't want an exactly equal status pairing. They seek out a more successful partner.
Why do I raise this today? Well, because of a television show. Specifically, because of a single episode of a very good television show—one that highlighted the inadequacy of the modern sexual ethic to deal with the messy reality of human relationships, and also highlighted (for me, at least) the sad failure of the church to model the virtuous alternative.
At first I was reluctant to give Apple TV's The Morning Show a chance. The ubiquitous promoted trailers on Twitter made it look like a simple, straightforward tale of strong women fighting back against predatory men. It looked like a "message series." But I was torn—two of my deeply-held entertainment values were in conflict. "Avoid obvious propaganda" conflicted with "follow the talent." Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carrell are each marvelously talented, so I yielded to "follow the talent," and I'm glad I did.
The Morning Show begins the morning that Steve Carrell's character, Mitch, starts his fall from grace. In echoes of Matt Lauer, he's summarily fired after (unknown) individuals reported on his sexual predation. He's stunned. He thought everything was consensual. He can't conceive of himself as a predator. And Carrell is a charming enough actor, that you have trouble conceiving of him as a predator as well. In a telling early scene, he talks to a character obviously inspired by Harvey Weinstein, and declares that whatever he is, he's not like that terrible man.
At the same time, there's also a secret relationship on the set between the weatherman and a very young employee. They seem to love each other. She seems delighted to be with him.
Fast-forward deep into the series, and you come across one of the most compelling and disturbing hours of television I've ever seen (Warning: Spoilers). In a flashback episode, you see in detail these different paradigms in the world before the fall, before #MeToo blasted their culture apart. Mitch is at the height of his powers and the cast throws him a surprise birthday party. Everywhere Mitch walks, he's like Moses, with the Red Sea constantly parting in front of him. People seem to adore him. And he loves them right back. He's kind to people on the set, and he moves with the ease of a person who feels as if he's with family.
But the darkness is evident. Part of that "charm" is his enthusiasm for the women around him. He loves a woman's dress in a creepy way. He obviously just ended an on-set romance, and the hurt is evident. During the party, we also see the first spark of the relationship between the young production assistant and the weatherman. She quite clearly flirts with him. She makes her attraction painfully obvious. He seems surprised.
The event is interrupted by the Las Vegas mass shooting, and the key cast flies immediately down to Vegas to cover the tragedy. They're distraught. And, like family (it's obvious from the show that the crew members spend more time with one another than their actual families) they comfort each other. Mitch invites a new booking assistant his room, and as an act of "comfort" initiates sex. What follows is tough to watch. She didn't want to be with him, but she doesn't know how to respond. She's shocked and confused. He's undeterred.
He initiates. She yields. But nothing about it seems right. Strap him to a lie detector, ask him if it was consensual, and he'd say yes and pass the test with flying colors. They were grief-stricken, he'd say. They comforted each other, he'd say.
Apply the same lie detector test to her, ask her if she felt exploited—or if she felt violated—and she'd say yes and pass the test with flying colors. She was alone with a powerful man. He pressed himself on her. Does she have to actively fight back to make his actions wrong?
The powerful man put the entire burden of decency and respect on the less powerful woman, and he still looks at himself in the mirror and declares, "I did nothing wrong." Why? Because he believes she consented, and consent is the only relevant moral factor.
When you look at that stew of power, adoration, exploitation, and heartbreak—a very messy stew that felt about as real as television gets—there is a part of you that wants to yell, "Do something." Ban workplace relationships entirely? Good luck with that. You put men and women together, demand that they work impossibly long, emotionally fraught hours together, and the bans will be about as effective as Prohibition. Besides, is such a ban truly just? Is it the right way to treat people? Especially when you seek so much of their time, their energy, and their devotion? The requirements of the job close them off to life outside the job. The job then closes them off to relationships. It's dysfunctional.
Do you ban relationships when there's a power disparity? Again, good luck with that. Any prohibition that so fundamentally conflicts with the complicated, but persistent, alchemy of attraction is often going to be mainly observed in the breach—especially when there is nothing inherently wrong with the match. It's the way people have paired off for millennia.
At their best, rules and regulations are able to protect people from the worst excesses. They are never able to shape utopia—in a nation or a workplace. Too intrusive, and they create a separate set of injustices (just look at the wave of litigation on college campuses after universities systematically suppressed due process rights to secure a greater number of campus sexual assault "convictions"). Too lax, and they empower predators. We haven't yet been able to consistently achieve the right balance.
This is where the church's own failures are most heartbreaking. This would be an ideal cultural moment to step into the void with a holistic Christian sexual and relationship ethic—one that's not purely legalistic ("say no to extramarital sex and all will be well") but focuses on the rich theology of relationships and marriage, of which rules about sex are but one part. Reaffirmation of the Golden Rule, an emphasis on the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control), and a cultivation of admiration and respect for virtues, rather than status, are indispensable to repairing a broken culture.
But alas, a porn-soaked church has all too often breached its own sacred obligations and instead modeled a spiritualized ritual of abuse and exploitation. Yes, the prevalence of misconduct is sometimes exaggerated by a media that can seem to delight in a "holy" man's fall. But talk to any Christian who has spent any time substantial time in church, and they will have sad tales to tell. My wife has her own story, and it's one that almost separated her entirely from her faith.
This is where the culture war paradigm is least helpful. I can't help but think that the more the church looks at #MeToo through a culture war prism (as another attack on men, for example), the less it will lead, the fewer people it will heal. In culture wars you find an enemy and fight. In spiritual wars, you recognize sin and repent. That's the value in the Southern Baptist Convention's anguished self-examination and self-discipline. Repentance sows the seeds of revival.
If there's a connection between #MeToo and our larger cultural collapse in confidence in our elites and in elite institutions, it's this—time after time, powerful people have viewed their authority and influence not as a sacred trust, to be expended with honor, respect, and humility but rather as a personal asset to be expended for personal pleasure. Financial self-dealing, sexual exploitation, blind ambition—these are the marks of an "elite" that is truly elite only in its love of the self.
For now, a culture of exploitation is facing a moment of accountability, but it's accountability accompanied by confusion. Perhaps a humbled, repentant church can provide a voice of clarity.

"Correctly predicting more advertising reviews than every service in our space combined"
~ Steve Ratti, Editor-in Chief of Ratti Report
Luxury department store puts restructuring plan in motion
Steve's breakdown: If you have a better way to "do it" Neiman Marcus probably wants to hear your ideas. They're firing people left and right and using your agency could be cheaper than handling advertising in-house as they do now.
DALLAS, TX: Neiman Marcus said Wednesday that a reorganization of its business to reflect changing customer shopping habits will include a reduction of its workforce. The Dallas-based retailer also said it's assessing its Last Call outlet division.
The Dallas-based retailer, struggling with almost $5 billion in leveraged buyout debt, said it will cut 225 employees, including less than 20 in Dallas.
Neiman Marcus said it's committed to being "a leader in high-end luxury retail" and is streamlining its operations to match its focus to provide a personalized shopping experience driven by digital performance and analytics.
"To better align our operations and team with our business strategy, we regularly evaluate all aspects of our business to determine when and where changes make the most sense for our customers and our company," Neiman Marcus said in a prepared statement after it was asked about staff cuts. The company considered an initial public offering and a sale in the last year but said last month that it has decided to end conversations regarding a partial or full sale of the company.
Employees across all brands and operating divisions were told that their jobs were eliminated this afternoon and will receive severance packages, the company said. They will also be considered for other job openings in the company.
The job cuts don't include the recent closing of three Last Call stores — at Allen Premium Outlets on July 14 and two others earlier this year at Colorado Mills in Lakewood, Colo., and Legacy Place in Dedham, Mass. Last Call now has 37 stores but could see more closings.
"We are also assessing our Last Call portfolio to optimize our store footprint and ensure we have the right mix of brick and mortar and online stores to meet our customers' evolving demands," the company statement said. Last Call stores, which average about 25,000 square feet, are located both in outlet centers and in neighborhood shopping centers such as Inwood Village in Dallas and Preston and Park in Plano.
Neiman Marcus has said it's communicating more with its customers through texts, emails and online. The company was among the first to arm store employees with iPhones to use to communicate with customers and send them photos of merchandise.
In June, during a conference call with analysts, CEO Karen Katz said traffic in stores continued to lag from a year ago while its online business improved.
Neiman Marcus has been reducing its head count the last couple of years and it's also had some attrition as many longtime employees have retired or left for other jobs. In Wednesday's job cuts, some positions are being eliminated and some reorganized, including making regional support staff responsible for more stores.
Last summer, the company eliminated 80 jobs, including about 50 in the Dallas area. In October 2015, the company laid off 500 employees, or about 3 percent of its workforce of 16,000 at the time. Those cuts included almost 160 in Dallas, where it employs 4,800 people at its corporate office, its Irving distribution center and in area store locations. The retailer's total full-time workforce of just over 14,000 compares with 14,300 in 2016, 15,100 in 2015 and 16,500 in 2014.
Neiman Marcus has reported losses of $578 million in the last four quarters. In its third fiscal quarter ended April 29, Neiman Marcus reported a net loss of $24.9 million vs. a profit of $3.8 million in the same period a year ago. Total sales fell 4.9 percent to $1.11 billion.
While competition has accelerated both online and in stores for the luxury shopper, Neiman Marcus was bought and sold twice in 10 years, leaving it with burdensome debt. In late 2014, Canada's largest pension fund, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and Los Angeles-based private equity firm Ares Management bought Neiman Marcus for $6 billion from Fort Worth-based TPG and New York-based Warburg Pincus.
While competitors have also been closing stores, Neiman Marcus has only closed one full-line store in Minneapolis in 2012. It has relocated stores in a market, as it did this year with a new store in Fort Worth. Nordstrom said in June that it's closing a full-line store in suburban Washington, D.C., and in the last year it closed two others in California. It's opening three new Nordstrom stores and 12 Nordstrom Racks this year.

Extraction of Pure Elements from Nature Preview Extraction of Metals All metals exist as cations in chemical compounds in ... Rapid Extraction Methods for the Process Laboratory Improvements In Column Extraction. 1990s: Need to upgrade radiochemistry methods at SRS ... U by laser phosphorescence.
Chemical reduction processes usually use carbon or carbon monoxide, made by heating coal, therefore a lot of coal is used in the extraction process. * Any other further processing required after extraction has been carried out, such as the purity requirement From a mineral, it is easy to produce metals such as iron, which is 95% pure.
In this report, we will study the different extractions techniques of rare earth metals and after the ones for heavy metals. Extraction of rare earth metals. Different techniques are used to extract rare earth metals (REM) and the number of publications regarding this topic is increasing.
How is a Metal Extracted from its Ore? The method used to extract a metal from its ore depends on where the metal is in the reactivity series. Metals above Carbon in the Reactivity Series. A metal above carbon in the reactivity series (potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium and aluminium) can be extracted by electrolysis. Extraction of the metal from its ore involves reduction of the metal ions.
Chelating extraction of heavy metals from contaminated soils is a relatively new treatment method. There exists a need to assess the full potential of this technology in removing and/or recovering heavy metals from contaminated media.
This process is actually a hydrometallurgical process as most of the metals may dissolve in the acidic solution. The recovery of base metals such as Cu, Ni, Co, Zn and Pb from waste ashes provides an opportunity to convert the hazardous waste to innocuous material while at the same time extracting valuable pay-metals.
Extraction of metals. The process of extracting metal ores buried deep underground is called Mining. The metal ores are found in the earths crust in varying abundance. The extraction of metals from ores is what allows us to use the minerals in the ground! The ores are very different from the finished metals that we see in buildings and bridges.
Extracting metal low in activity series:- The metals low in the reactive series are very less reactive. The oxides of such metals can be reduced to metals by heating alone e.g. mercury is obtained from its ore, cinnabar (HgS), by the process of heating.Extraction of metal using Heat is called Pyrometallurgy.
This extraction process occurred at the interface between the two liquid phases without stirring. Instantaneously after the addition of neodymium, the ionic liquid changes color explaining by the fact that there is a transfer of Nd 3+ between the two phases. ... Extraction of heavy metals.
Extraction of metals GRANT; RICHARD A.
Feb 23, 1988· A solvent extraction process for the separation of one or more precious metal species from other precious metal species and possibly also base metal species contained in an aqueous acidic solution of the type produced during the recovery of precious metals from ore or scrap in which the solvent contains an extractant which is a mono-N-substituted amide.
Pyrometallurgy Extraction of metals takes place at very high temperature. Cu, Fe, Zn, Sn, etc .. are extracted by this method. Bydrometallurgical process In this method, metals are extracted by the use of their aqueous solution. Ag and Au are extracted by this method.
Isolation is the process of the separation of the two metals but extraction is the process in which we get the desired metal from the concentrate.(in general we can say from the minerals and ores) The process of extracting metal ores buried deep underground is called Mining.
Economic Impact of Metal Extraction. It is a fact that mining, extracting, refining, and purifying metal will cost a lot of money. There are different types of metal, and they need different methods of extraction. Now, the methods of extracting metal do not come cheap, nor does refining and purifying metal.
Gold extraction refers to the processes required to extract gold from its ores. This may require a combination of comminution, ... Scotland, developed the MacArthur-Forrest Process for the extraction of gold ores. By suspending the crushed ore in a cyanide solution, a separation of up to 96 percent pure gold was achieved.
This is a common extraction process for the more reactive metals for example, for aluminum and metals above it in the electrochemical series. You may also come across it in other cases such as one method of extracting copper and in the purification of copper.
For this reason solvent extraction must be compatible with, and complimentary to, the leaching process which precedes it and the final metal recovery process which follows (Figure 1). The success of the whole operation then is dependent of the success of each individual unit process.
Principles of Extractive Metallurgy, H. S. Ray and A. Ghosh, WEL Publishing 3. Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, W.G. Davenport, A.K. Biswas, PERGAMON ... Any metal extraction process is the combination of similar and unique kind of steps known as Unit processes/unit operations.
metals extraction Santa Cruz, Province of Argentina Gold Mine M3 is providing Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) services for a gold mining project located in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina.
Introduction. IMC has developed the RapidSX process, a dramatically improved solvent-extraction (SX) process for the separation and purification of rare-earth elements (REEs), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co), and other important metals.
The focus of the Agencys study will be to engage with states, tribes and stakeholders to consider available approaches to manage wastewater from both conventional and unconventional oil and gas extraction at onshore facilities.
