Combine that with my new-found passion for feminism since the birth of my tiny, adored daughter, and I almost thought for this article, I would have to throw my journalist ethics out the window.
The Chinese government appeared to recognize the linkage by allowing families in rural areas (where anti-female bias is stronger) a second child if the first was a girl. Nonetheless, in September 1997, the World Health Organization's Regional Committee for the Western Pacific issued a report claiming that "more than 50 million women were estimated to be 'missing' in China because of the institutionalized killing and neglect of girls due to Beijing's population control program that limits parents to one child.
Joseph Farah, "Cover-up of China's gender-cide" Western Journalism Center/FreeRepublic, September 29, 1997.
Duty-based ethics says that some things – if considered the 'right' course of action - should always be done, no matter what bad consequences they produce. And despite my horror, it would be useless to ignore that the policy was implemented for a reason.
China imposed strict birth controls in the 1970s to limit growth of its huge population, noting that resources, especially land, were increasingly strained and that changes were needed in its new push to modernize.
In the 1970s, the Chinese government believed that the only way to solve the strain on its resources was by enforced birth control because they fundamentally misunderstood the relationship between population growth, poverty and hunger. They thought it was the 'right' thing to do.
But here's the true relationship.
Poverty is the cause of population growth, not the effect. But why would poor people choose to have so many children? Simple. Because the large majority of their children die from hunger or hunger related causes. Therefore having a lot of them increases the chances that some male heirs will live to be a source of security for their parents. The alleviation of poverty would therefore have been the most effective way to encourage birth control. But because male heirs are favored, the enforced birth control led to female infanticide.
But now the National Population & Family Planning Commission will be merged into the Ministry of health indicating that the one child policy – or at least the zeal with which it was once enforced – is on the wane, even though many have found ways to circumnavigate the policy already. Not surprisingly, given the relationship between poverty, hunger and population growth, this circumnavigation is most prevalent in the poorest regions of China.
Min was born in 1986, six years after the one-child policy came into effect. She is the second of five children, a reflection of lax enforcement of family planning in the Hebei farming village where she grew up. (Min's father told me that one family in the village had six children; another man, who had fathered seven children, had been the village chief.) Min herself, along with everyone she knows, has two children. When history's largest social experiment in state-regulated childbearing comes to an end, it will have been borne disproportionately by the Chinese urban middle-class.
I would argue that the one-child policy not only should be scrapped, but also that it should never have existed in the first place; because (with my journalist integrity intact) disregarding the disastrous consequences of its implementation, the one child policy tackled China's problem from the wrong direction. And for those who are interested in some of the direct consequences above and beyond the widespread female infanticide, the stringent policies have resulted in more abusive behaviour towards adult women as well.
The imbalance between the sexes is now so distorted that there are 111 million men in China -- more than three times the population of Canada -- who will not be able to find a wife." As a result, the kidnapping and slave-trading of women has increased: "Since 1990, say official Chinese figures, 64,000 women -- 8,000 a year on average -- have been rescued by authorities from forced 'marriages'. The number who have not been saved can only be guessed at. ... The thirst for women is so acute that the slave trader gangs are even reaching outside China to find merchandise. There are regular reports of women being abducted in such places as northern Vietnam to feed the demand in China."
But what of the problem it was initially meant to solve – the strain on the economy? Well. the outcome of restrictive breeding is a severely declining population.
In 2011, China had 100 million people over 65. In 2014 it will rise to 200 million and by 2025 it will rise to 300 million. With fewer young people, due to the one-child-policy, this will place a tremendous tax burden and/or outright cost burden on working-age adults to support this enormous population of elderly.
The danger is no longer on the physical resource of land but on the Chinese economy as a whole which doesn't have enough workers to support its aged population. And if past history is any kind of indicator, the Chinese aren't afraid of fatal consequences of their policies.
So watch out, because it's the elderly - and especially those without children to support them - who will be next in the Chinese government's firing line.
A thousand thanks go to Ron Smothermon for his work on population growth & poverty theories.


Luckily, I managed to get out and take some photos of the wonderful holiday decorations on the Upper East Side before I became an incubus of viral plague. New Yorkers really know how to go all out. Enjoy!

Fabada--maybe the best bean dish in the world.
Just when I thought spring was around the corner, a cold front moving across southern Spain dumped snow on the nearby mountains and left me again huddling by the fire. Perfect weather to cook up a pot of beans, which keeps the kitchen windows steamed up and fills the house with its aroma.
I like all kinds of beans, but possibly my favorite bean dish is fabada asturiana, beans and sausages cooked in the style of Asturias. Asturias, in the chill northern Cantabrian coast, is noted for its cheeses (such as blue Cabrales), its fabulous seafood and this singular bean dish. Fabada is so popular that it turns up all over Spain. Sort of as Boston baked beans are not limited to Boston.
The proper beans for fabada are Asturian-grown fabes. These are extra-large white kidney beans that cook up creamy and tender. (They can be ordered in the US from http://www.tienda.com/) If these are not available, however, I suggest substituting butter beans or cannellini beans.
Fabada may be one of the few dishes in Spanish cuisine that contains no olive oil. Panceta, ham bone and two kinds of sausages provide the flavor package. Asturias, with its damp maritime climate, produces chorizo and morcilla (blood sausage) that are, unusually in Spanish charcuteria, smoke-cured. If these traditional sausages are not available, use regular cooking chorizo and morcilla, but add a spoonful of pimentón de la Vera (smoked paprika) to the beans as they cook.
For an insider's view of Asturias, the sausages and fabada, have a look at this site http://www.whereisasturias.com/?p=6602, with a video clip, produced by Jeffrey Weiss, whose book, CHARCUTERIA--THE SOUL OF SPAIN--comes out in the fall.
The beans need to be soaked for 12 hours (or overnight) before cooking. I have extremely hard water, so I use a pinch of baking soda in the water or else bottled water with low mineral content to correct the hardness. Otherwise, the beans never get really tender. Drain the soaked beans and put them to cook in fresh water.
Fabada is best cooked in a cazuela, a wide earthenware casserole, but any shallow pan will work. Add water to a depth of two fingers above the beans. Keep the beans barely covered with liquid so that the skins don't split.
Soaking swells the beans (left).
Drain the beans and put them in a cazuela. Blanch the bacon in boiling water for 2 minutes and drain. Add it to the beans. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil and skim off the froth.
Add the piece of ham, chorizo, morcilla and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and skim again. Add saffron, dissolved in a little liquid.
Cover and cook until beans are tender, 1 to 2 hours, adding cold water as necessary so beans are always covered with liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Don't stir the beans, but shake the casserole from time to time. Let the fabada rest 15 minutes before serving. Use scissors to cut the bacon, ham and sausages into bite-sized pieces.
My husband's all-time favorite bean dish, which I make using judiones from Castrillo de los Polvazares just off the Camino de Santiago. He had them in Segovia and saw them later on the menu at el museo del jamón. Going back this fall, God willing! Sue Yurick (not really anonymous!) I love cooking the foods I loved in Spain!
Sue: Those judiones surely are related to the Asturian fabes. Where is the Museo del Jamón?
It is so hard to avoid red meat and still eat the foods of Spain, though I managed when I walked the Camino last fall. If you could feature some vegetarian dishes, or those with chicken and seafood, I would really appreciate it!
Darlene: You would probably like another Asturian dish, fabes (beans) with clams. Cook beans with onion, garlic, bay, parsley, olive oil and saffron. Open clams separately. Add the clam juice to the beans. Remove clam shells and add the clams to the beans and heat.
I have read a little bit your blog. It is amazing and your cook book looks great. Congratulations. Keep in mind our Translation Agency in case you are interested in translations to scandinavian languages or spanish language.
This message is sent from our blog. You can find posts about cook books that we have already translated.
Anonymous from Extremadura: definitely try substituting other beans, but you can mail order real fabes from La Tienda in the US. Or, in New Mexico, check out The Spanish Table in Santa Fe--lots of imported products from Spain.
Asturiano: Un saludo a ti. Tu foto de merluza a la sidra tiene muy buen aspecto!
Hhmmm... and to think that I only thought that Fabada came in a can. I'll be sure to give this a try assuming that I can find some morsilla. Thanks!
S/V: You're welcome. Hope you find the morcilla.
This sounds very much like a dish I had at the El Duque in Segovia. Are these the same beans they use?
LaTrelle: The bean dish you enjoyed in Segovia is made with judión de La Granja--actually bigger and fatter than the white kidney beans, fabes, of Asturias. They may be similarly cooked, with morcilla and chorizo.
David: Hooray! Fabada! You can order morcilla from La Tienda https://www.tienda.com/search/?q=morcilla%20black%20sausage . However, they don't seem to list Asturian morcilla, which is smoked.

Очередные президентские выборы во Франции прошли 10 апреля 2022 года (первый тур) и 24 апреля (второй тур). Эти президентские выборы стали 12-ми в Пятой Французской республике.

Никто из кандидатов не набрал 30 % голосов в первом туре (для победы в первом туре политику необходимо было получить более 50 % голосов). Лидерами по итогам первого тура стали Эмманюэль Макрон (27,84 %) и Марин Ле Пен (23,15 %), которые примут участие во втором туре. В первом туре Макрон получил поддержку на западе, юго-западе и востоке страны, в то время как север, северо-восток, юг и юго-восток отдали предпочтение Ле Пен.

Второй тур с участием Макрона и Ле Пен стал повторением второго тура предыдущих президентских выборов, тогда уверенную победу 7 мая 2017 года одержал Макрон, получивший почти 2/3 голосов. Ранее единственный повтор участников второго тура президентских выборов во Франции был в 1981 году, когда за пост президента соперничали Франсуа Миттеран и Валери Жискар д'Эстен (тогда Миттеран взял реванш у Жискар д'Эстена за поражение на выборах 1974 года).

Дата
В соответствии со статьей 7 французской конституции первый тур президентских выборов должен состояться за 20—35 дней до истечения очередного президентского срока. Эмманюэль Макрон вступил в должность 14 мая 2017 года, а значит, передача полномочий должна состояться не позже 13 мая 2022 года. Таким образом, первый тур президентских выборов должен был состояться в период с 8 по 23 апреля 2022 года, чтобы успеть до 13 мая провести второй тур, если он понадобится. Окончательная дата голосования — 10 апреля.

Второй тур выборов состоялся 24 апреля 2022 года, через две недели после первого тура.

Выборная система
Чтобы зарегистрироваться для участия в первом туре выборов, кандидат должен заручиться поддержкой не менее 500 из более чем 40 000 лиц, занимающих выборные должности во Франции (это члены парламента, евродепутаты, сенаторы, региональные советники и мэры). Список поручителей кандидата должен включать по представителей по меньшей мере 30 различных департаментов Франции. Разрешается использовать не более 50 поручителей из одного департамента. Для победы в первом туре кандидат должен набрать более 50 % голосов. Если никто не получает большинства голосов в первом туре, то два кандидата, набравшие наибольшее количество голосов, соревнуются друг с другом во втором туре голосования, проводящемся две недели спустя. Победитель второго тура должен набрать более 50 % голосов. Двухраундовая система, также используемая в парламентских, местных и региональных выборах, была введена в 1962 году Шарлем де Голлем. К голосованию допускаются граждане Франции, достигшие 18-летия к дню голосования.

Предвыборная обстановка
Самыми обсуждаемыми в преддверии выборов были вопросы иммиграции и проблемы безопасности. При этом, согласно соцопросам, основными были названы экономические вопросы: покупательная способность, проблемы с социальными пособиями, продолжение восстановления экономики. Опросы показывали, что несмотря на недовольство экономической политикой Макрона, избиратели не верили, что у его оппонентов выйдет лучше. Еще одним важным вопросом было возможные новые волны пандемии и связанные с ней вопросы здравоохранения.

В октябре 2021 года правительство Франции приняло решение о ежемесячной компенсации за повышение цен на горючее для домохозяйств с доходов 2 тысячи евро и менее. По оценке RFI эта мера была принята в преддверии выборов чтобы снизить негативный эффект от скачка цен на бензин на экономические результаты правления Макрона.

Более 180 тысяч подписей собрала петиция к левым партиям о выдвижении единого кандидата, фокусирующегося на экологических и социальных проблемах. Активисты пытались организовать общие «праймериз», указывая, что по отдельности у левых кандидатов нет шансов составить конкуренцию лидерам.

Противоречивые оценки вызывала высокие результаты в опросах ультраправого полемиста Эрика Земмура, автора нескольких книг и сторонника «теории замещения». Некоторые сравнивали его с Трампом, другие называли спойлером для оттягивания голосов у Ле Пен.

Участники
О своём участии в выборах заявили:
 Эмманюэль Макрон, президент Франции. Об участии он заявил в среду, 5 января, в интервью газете Le Parisien. В своей программе Макрон заявил о планах снизить уровень безработицы, ограничить компенсации для безработных и повысить пенсионный возраст. Политик заявил, что фокусируется на образовании и здравоохранении. Критики из правых партий обвинили Макрона в том, что программа копирует меры из предыдущих программ, в частности — повышение пенсионного возраста.
 Марин Ле Пен, глава «Национального объединения». Была соперницей Макрона во втором туре выборов 2017 года. Заявила о своём участии 16 января 2020 года. Лидер Национального объединения заявляла о планах положить конец иммиграции, сократить преступность, искоренить исламизм и спасти Францию от глобализации.
 Жан-Люк Меланшон, глава партии «Непокорённая Франция». Заявил о своих планах участвовать в президентских выборах в конце 2020 года. Политик выступал за сокращение рабочей недели, снижение пенсионного возраста, повышение минимальной заработной платы и пособий, повышение налоговой ставки, а также за сокращение полномочий президента.
 Эрик Земмур, лидер партии «Реконкиста», журналист, писатель и ультраправый консервативный националист. 30 ноября 2021 года официально объявил о выдвижении своей кандидатуры на президентских выборах. Политик был судим за разжигание расовой ненависти и продвигающий теорию «великой замены», согласно которой мусульманские иммигранты «заменят» население европейских стран.
 Валери Пекресс, председатель регионального совета Иль-де-Франс. 4 декабря 2021 года победила на праймериз партии «Республиканцы». Характеризует себя как «на две трети Ангелу Меркель и на одну треть Маргарет Тэтчер». Придерживается социально-консервативной позиции (принимала активное участие в протестах против однополых браков). Ближе к жестким правым по вопросу иммиграции, но придерживается относительно центристской позиции в рамках партии в вопросах экономики.
 Янник Жадо, член партии «Европа Экология Зелёные». 28 сентября 2021 года победил на праймериз «зелёных партий». По мнению The Guardian, кандидат рассчитывал развить успех, достигнутый партией на выборах мэров, когда им удалось победить в нескольких крупных городах.
 Жан Лассаль, лидер партии «Будем сопротивляться!». На выборах 2017 года набрал 1,21 % голосов. О его участии в следующих выборах стало известно 21 февраля 2018 года. Кандидат призвал создать 100 тысяч вакансий для медицинского персонала и увеличить количество мест в медицинских школах. Еще одной инициативой было проведение трех референдумов: о создании референдума по гражданской инициативе, о снижении НДС на углеводороды с 20 % до 5,5 % и о признании незаполненных бюллетеней при подсчете голосов.
 Фабьен Руссель, депутат Национального собрания Франции, лидер «Коммунистической партии». Победил на внутрипартийных выборах, состоявшихся 7—9 мая 2021 года, с уровнем поддержки 82,36 %. Политик поддерживает сокращение рабочей недели до 32 часов, снижение пенсионного возраста до 60 лет и повышение минимальной заработной платы до 1500 евро в месяц.
 Николя Дюпон-Эньян, депутат Национального собрания Франции, лидер национал-консервативной партии «Вставай, Франция». Объявил о своём участии 26 сентября 2020 года. На выборах 2017 года получил 4,7 % голосов. В рамках предвыборной кампании объявил о своих планах провести множество референдумов: по вопросам Европы, иммиграции, школы, правосудия, о секуляризме. Он предложил ввести «референдум по отзыву» — процедуру, с помощью которой избиратели могут сместить с должности выборное должностное лицо до истечения срока его полномочий. Придерживается евроскептической позиции. В 2021 году принимал активное участие в кампании против закона о QR-сертификатах вакцинации.
 Анн Идальго, мэр Парижа. Официально выдвинута кандидатом «Социалистической партии» 14 октября 2021 года. Выступает за повышение заработной платы, переговоры с профсоюзами, меры по защите экологии. Партия сталкивается с проблемами: на выборах в 2017 году их кандидат набрал рекордно низкие для партии 6,7 % голосов, за этим последовало тяжелое поражение на выборах в Европарламент в 2020.
 Филипп Путу, политический и профсоюзный деятель. Бывший сотрудник завода Ford на западе Франции, откуда он был уволен в 2019 году. О его участии в выборах стало известно 7 марта 2022 года, кандидат с трудом преодолел необходимый порог в 500 подписей лиц на выборных должностях. Заявил, что целью его участия в выборах является возможность донести левые идеи до аудитории.
 Натали Арто, национальный представитель троцкистской партии «Рабочая борьба». Решение о выдвижении кандидатуры Арто было принято на 50-м конгрессе партии, состоявшемся 19—20 декабря 2020 года. В своей предвыборной программе г-жа Арто предложила разделить рабочие места для и прекращения безработицы, увеличить минимальную заработную плату и предоставить право голоса иностранцам. Кандидат назвала причиной экологических проблем капитализмом и гонку за прибыльностью и призвала к радикальному преобразованию системы.
Действующий президент Эмманюэль Макрон мог баллотироваться на этих выборах: конституция ограничивает президентство для одного человека двумя сроками подряд, а Макрон на момент выборов был избран главой государства единожды.

Предвыборная кампания

Первый тур
В феврале The Guardian констатировал, что победа «центриста» Макрона в 2017 году сильно изменила политический ландшафт: совокупный показатель «правых» и «левых» партий оказался на историческом минимуме.

До недавнего времени влиятельная Социалистическая партия, занимавшая Елисейский дворец с 2012, столкнулась с кризисом: на выборах в 2017 ее кандидат с результатом 6,4 % занял пятое место, что стало худшим результатом в истории. На парламентских выборах партия потеряла 250 из 280 мест в парламенте. Опросы общественного мнения показывали, что французские левые включая партию «зеленых» должны получить около 27 % голосов в случае выдвижения единого кандидата.

Успехи Макрона и его партии ударили и по консервативным «Республиканцам»: на президентских выборах 2017 году их кандидату впервые с 1981 года не удалось попасть во второй тур. Во Франции, которая согласно опросам, стала более «правой», партия сохраняет свой потенциал, она сильно выступила на региональных выборах в 2021 году. При этом, партии приходится бороться за электорат с Макроном с одной стороны и с Земмуром и Ле Пен с другой.

За голоса ультраправых боролись Ле Пен и Земмур. Ле Пен пыталась снизить токсичность партии, 50 лет воспринимавшейся как «националистическая», оставив ксенофобскую риторику оппоненту. Ле Пен побеждала, однако многие наблюдатели считали, что долгосрочной целью Земмура является распад Национального объединения и создание нового движения, объединяющего ультраправых с более традиционалистскими правыми, не готовыми голосовать за Ле Пен.

Второй тур

20 апреля состоялись дебаты между Эммануэлем Макроном и Марин Ле Пен. Перед дебатами действующий президент лидировал в соцопросах, однако значительный процент избирателей на тот момент еще не определился с выбором кандидата. Дебаты продлились 2 часа 45 минут. Кандидаты поспорили на темы роста стоимости жизни, России, изменения климата и иммиграции. Дебаты смотрели около 15,6 млн зрителей, большинство из которых отдали победу Макрону.

16 апреля во Франции прошли митинги против избрания Ле Пен, звучали призывы не допустить избрания "ультраправого" кандидата. К дню голосования в социлологических опросах лидировал Макрон, отрыв от Ле Пен был меньше, чем в 2017.

Итоги

Результаты первого тура

Результаты второго тура

Победу одержал действующий президент Эмманюэль Макрон с результатом 58,55 %. Это первые выборы, на которых действующий президент переизбран на второй президентский срок за последние 20 лет. Последний раз президент был переизбран на второй срок на выборах 2002 года.

Избиратели Макрона вновь в основном были сосредоточены в городах: он одержал победу в Лионе, Париже и Тулузе, а также добился хороших результатов на северо-западе. Он заручился поддержкой левых городов, даже тех, которые в первом туре поддержали леворадикального Жана-Люка Меленшона.  Ле Пен показала высокие результаты в более бедных, сельских районах и в промышленных регионах на севере и востоке, а также в традиционном оплоте ее партии на юго-востоке, где традиционно сильны опасения по поводу иммиграции.

The Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization (LBLS) will hold a second public hearing beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center, 2nd Floor, Tucker Room, W303, Baton Rouge, to provide a forum for Bar members to comment on the LBLS Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards.
Parking is available on the LSU campus at a metered spot or in the Union Square Garage for $1.50 per hour.
The resolutions of two members of the Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) House of Delegates (HOD) to suspend the LBLS's Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards were approved by the LSBA HOD and the Board of Governors (BOG) at the Jan. 20, 2018, meeting. Both the Employment Law Standards and the Labor Law Standards had been approved by the HOD and BOG a year earlier at the Jan. 21, 2017, meeting without any opposition.
The HOD and BOG have now requested that the LBLS conduct further study on both the Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards, including whether a majority of affected practitioners support the standards, and whether concerns over discriminatory effects and unfair competitive advantages can be adequately addressed.
The LBLS held its first public meeting on Aug. 16, 2018, in New Orleans. LBLS Chair Carl J. Servat III presided over the meeting and Board Member William R. Corbett attended the meeting. The LBLS thanks LSBA President Barry H. Grodsky for his attendance and participation in the meeting and the interested members of the Bar who attended and voiced their opinions.
The purpose of the public hearings is to determine whether the LBLS Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards need to be revised based upon the Resolutions passed on Jan. 20, 2018. LSBA members also may submit comments concerning the LBLS Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards to Mary Ann Wegmann by email at maryann.wegmann@lsba.org, or by letter addressed to the LBLS, 601 St. Charles Ave., New Orleans, LA 70130-3404.
In order to receive input on the Employment Law Standards and Labor Law Standards from interested members of the Bar throughout the state, the LBLS plans to hold additional hearings in Lafayette and Shreveport in 2018 and early 2019.
For more information, email Mary Ann Wegmann or visit the LBLS website at: https://www.lascmcle.org/specialization/index.aspx.

Social House Says Sayonara to TI This Weekend
Ever since it first opened, Social House has been a big hit with sushi lovers and celebrity watchers. Located at Treasure Island, it brought new life to the property, and a never-ending string of customers wanting to see and be seen, while indulging in some great food.
Lately, however, rumors have run rampant that Social House was going to be closing to make room for some of the changes that new owner Phil Ruffin was bringing about. When asked, Pure Management Group (PMG), which runs the restaurant, has denied that it was leaving the resort — even as recently as last week.
But in the space of two Twitters to its followers yesterday (July 2), PMG left the following message:
"PURE Management Group (PMG) announces that on Sunday, July 5 it will close its innovative sushi restaurant, Social House inside TI. This is in effort to concentrate on negotiations for a new location on the Las Vegas Strip for the popular restaurant concept."
A similar message appeared later in the day on the PMG Facebook page.
A formal press announcement hasn't been released, yet, but since these social media statements come straight from PMG, it appears as of this Monday (July 6), Social House will no longer be operating at TI.
One has to wonder why the sudden turn-around decision to close…and without much fanfare, either. But if you want to have one last meal at the Social House, while it's at TI, you have two days to do so.
I'll bring you more news on the changes afoot at TI next week, as well as any further news on the relocation of Social House as I get it.
Social House at
Treasure Island Resort
3300 Las Vegas Blvd South

It's official: I'm running the Hood to Coast Relay!
A friend in Portland had to back out of the event because of a persistent ankle injury. Knowing how much I've been wanting to do this relay, he tapped me on the shoulder. I submitted my registration on his team yesterday. I'm pinching myself, I'm so happy!
Rumor has it, Hood to Coast is the best running experience on the planet. Two hundred adventure-filled miles from a mountain top to the deep blue sea. Roughly twenty-four hours of running, eating, sleeping in a van, more running, more eating and apparently sleeping in a cow pasture. I'll be the newbie on a team of Portlanders who have run this race together for years. Not only will I be new to this event, I'll be new to relays, new to 99% of my teammates and new to running through day and night. Foolish? Perhaps. Nerve-wracking? I suppose. But at the moment I'm too excited to feel anything else.
I am psyched to have a new goal to work towards as a grand finale to the summer. The timing couldn't be more ideal. One last month of running for fun, then I'll begin the three months of trail running that I had planned. That should break my legs in nicely for Hood to Coast's hilly course.
For now it's time to sketch out a kooky costume for me, my husband and my friend for our bid at the infamous Mardi Gras of running known as the Bay to Breakers. Ideas welcome!

Awesome! I'm doing my first relay this summer – looking forward to it. I would love to do Hood to Coast someday though!

Russia calls on NYT, FT to retract stories about virus toll
Posted: May 14, 2020 / 06:19 AM CDT / Updated: May 14, 2020 / 06:19 AM CDT
FILE – In this Friday, Jan. 17, 2020 file photo, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova gestures as she attends Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's annual roundup news conference summing up his ministry's work in 2019, in Moscow, Russia. Russia's Foreign Ministry has accused the Financial Times and the New York Times of spreading "disinformation" after the two newspapers alleged that Russia's coronavirus death toll could much higher than officials report. The Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday May 13, 2020, that letters demanding a retraction would be passed on to editors in chief of the newspapers on Thursday. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko, File)
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's Foreign Ministry has accused the Financial Times and The New York Times of spreading "disinformation" after the two newspapers alleged that Russia's coronavirus death toll could be much higher than officials are reporting.
The Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said late Wednesday that letters demanding a retraction would be passed on to the newspapers' editors-in-chief Thursday.
Both articles are based on a spike in total mortality cases reported by Moscow officials. The capital registered around 1,800 deaths more in April this year than the month's average. The Financial Times also pointed to a similar spike in deaths reported by St. Petersburg authorities and concluded that Russia could have 70% more coronavirus deaths than it reports.
Russian health officials insisted that the nation's relatively low coronavirus death toll is explained by a quick ban on travel from China earlier this year, an early introduction of restrictions and tracing of the infected contacts. The scope of testing has been significantly increased in recent weeks, allowing to quickly spot the infections and prevent patients from developing life-threatening complications, officials maintain.
Russia has reported over 250,000 coronavirus cases on Thursday and 2,305 deaths. The comparatively low death toll raised questions in the West, with some suggesting it could be, in fact, much higher.
The Foreign Ministry also reached out to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, UNESCO and the U.N., saying that the articles the Financial Times and The New York Times ran are "examples of the 'infodemic,' which U.N. Secretary General (António) Guterres urged to tackle," Zakharova said Wednesday.
Following the Foreign Ministry's statement, Russian lawmaker Vasily Piskaryov demanded that the accreditation of the reporters from the newspapers be stripped, which would effectively ban them from working in the country. Zakharova said that the measures against the media organizations "will depend on whether they run the retraction."
The New York Times on Thursday stood by its reporting on Thursday. The organization's vice president for communications, Danielle Rhoades Ha, told Russian news agencies the report was accurate as it was based on data released by an official state agency.
The Financial Times didn't immediately respond to a request for comment sent by The Associated Press.
Moscow's health department rejected the allegations of undercounting coronavirus deaths on Wednesday. Officials said in a statement that autopsies are being conducted in 100% of suspected coronavirus deaths.
"That's why post-mortem diagnoses in Moscow and causes of death, in the end, are exceedingly accurate, and the mortality data absolutely transparent," the statement said.
More than 60% of deaths of people with coronavirus in Moscow were ascribed to other causes, such as cardiovascular events, terminal cancers, systemic diseases involving organ failures and other incurable fatal diseases, according to the statement.
Guidelines on reporting coronavirus deaths, issued by the World Health Organization in mid-April, state that "deaths due to COVID-19" should be considered as such "unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease."
"The primary goal is to identify all deaths due to COVID-19," the document says.

Getting ready to fly back to Houston.
Pedro, his friend and I had an incredible vegan dinner on our last night in Denver.
This was at an outdoor mall at 16th street, Denver, CO.
Yesterday Pedro and I drove up to the top of Mount Evans, the highest paved road in United States. From there, there was a short climb to the summit. Beautiful place! We lucked out and saw some really rare animals close by, too!
Hemp /marijuana is legal in Colorado, so you can find people smoking weed on the streets as well as stores selling it openly. This one was in Manitou Springs.
This cool little town was nearby the mountain we climbed. We walked around and saw many stores and then decided to stop by and have dinner on a Mediterranean place.
Cool sign warning about bear activity on the Manitou Incline.
These are a few pictures of the summit and then the descent.
This is a straight straight up to the mountain where we gain the over 2200 feet in elevation in less than one mile. I was quite out of shape so it took me a while to get there. Pedro was doing better all way long. The views are incredible and we had a blast. Definitely enjoyed the day!
Even though I already posted some pictures of us at the Garden of Gods on Tuesday, here are some more. These are excellent, taken with Pedro's camera instead of my phone.


Enter here for a chance to win an 8-day Insight Europe Tour. You'll get to visit all those places you've seen on TV. Don't forget your camera. Good Luck!
I have taken an Insight Tour before, one better be in tip-top shape for this tour. Enter at your own risk!


Thread: Penny auction MLMs running scared ?
Re: Penny auction MLMs running scared ?
Seems they're admitting to doing the exact same thing as zeek.
Of course they were using Zeek's template. They saw how easy it was to fool people, so why bother doing it right? Well that is until the roof caved in.
You can bet your sweet a$$ets they thought they were next. But wait, I thought being registered offshore and not being in the US protected you from the "evil" US Law Enforcement agencies, the US doesn't control or rule the world? At least that has been the mantra for all these Ponzi's. Guess the owners of bidify didn't believe the myth, and Frode didn't like prison that much.
Bidify has Kevin Thompson, the MLM attorney from purgatory and bosom buddy of Len Clements, advising them??? Down the commode it shall go!
Are Penny auction MLMs running scared ???
where have we heard this before ??
If they can switch to a plain "affiliates only get paid on selling bids for commission" then good luck to them.
How much bids to give away should be affiliates choice, and they should not be "rewarded" for it by the company in the first place.
That's it, Manolo/Strosdegoz/Dirson Eduardo Jiminez Santana keep on lying.
I'm sure there's SOMEONE out there who hasn't quite woken up to the fact you're a superpimp protecting your own pocket.
Can anybody spot the flaw in these folks logic?
Bidify has reappeared online, after having some sort of profound religious awakening during its' time offline.
Bidify's new comp plan is pure MLM based on sales volume. There's nothing left of the "passive" stuff.
Guess all those affiliates will have to actually WORK now! Ha-ha!
Is Penny auction legit? Iam thinking of joining, Anyone here currently involved with them?
Well FunkyShark has been "shut down" for a while now. Even before they got the chance to pretend that their "rev share" penny auction was any less a ponzy than Zeek Rewards "rev share" deal was, they were offering a straight up pay to play founder deal. Pay to become a "founder" and earn a commission for as many other people you could get to pay to become a "founder" long before they could even pretend there was anything like a product to be retailed to end consumers. I know this will surprise some of our less than regular readers but that's pretty much the straight line definition of an illegal pyramid scheme.
In fact the only relativly interesting aspect remaining in the program was how they were pretending to be able to refund every "founder's" money. You see, anyone who recruited enough other "founders" was pretty much paid what they were promised for having done so. And because it was a naked pyramid scam the only money generated to pay those recruiting bonuses came directly from the fees paid from the recruited, the only way all the people who paid to be recruited could get their money back was for all the people who got paid to recruit them to refund that money. Good friggen luck with that.

Search engine optimization is a term you've probably heard of, but you might not know exactly what it is.
If you want to learn more about it, then you've come to the right place.
All search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, AOL and Google display results when someone enters a search term into their search bar.
The goal of the search engines is to show the most relevant results for search terms.
What SEO does is increase the visibility of a web-page for specific search terms, that way the web-page has a chance of showing up early on in the results.
For example, if you run a website that sells coats, you'd want to use SEO to improve your site's ranking in the search results, especially Google's results since they hold a large percentage of all searches performed in the US.
You would perform specific tasks with the purpose that your site would appear early in the results after someone has searched for the search term you're wanting to rank for, such as "Coats".
Visibility is what SEO is all about.
Anyone who owns a website or plans on starting a website needs search engine optimization.
Business owners of all kinds should have a website and they should be using SEO, but so should anyone who runs any kind of website.
Whether it's a blog, an article on a blogging platform or your own website, you need SEO if you want to be found through the search engines.
Content is one of the main factors, as Google and other search engines look for uniquely written content and not duplicate garbage.
Google also takes into accounts the number of quality links pointing to your site, as well as whether or not your site is mobile-friendly.
Domain authority is another consideration for Google and other major search engines.
The truth is there are many SEO factors, but those are some of the top ones.
There are some basic tips to keep in mind, such as always using relevant and low to medium competition keywords.
Use keywords throughout your site, in new articles you publish and in titles, sub-titles, and meta-descriptions.
Only use relevant keywords and don't just repeat a bunch of different keywords in a single article, otherwise, this might be looked at as keyword stuffing and actually have a negative impact on your website.
Another tip is to publish articles regularly because Google likes fresh content.
Also, link from one article on your site to another article but make sure the articles relate to one another. This type of interlinking will help spread topical relevancy through your website.
Create videos about topics related to your website and use keywords in the videos' titles and descriptions, and don't forget to put a link in the description pointing to your main website.
Those are only a handful of very basic SEO tips. However, they can come in handy.
The main benefit is increasing traffic to your site due to increased visibility.
Your reputation can improve drastically and you can build instant trust with people who find your site via the search results.
Not only that, but you can increase sales, build a list of leads and grow your business when SEO is done the right way.
All websites need traffic, otherwise, they are just wasting space. SEO can sometimes make or break a website.
The bottom line is you should be using it if you want to get traffic to your site.
The definition of search engine optimization is straightforward. However, creating and implementing a solid SEO strategy is a whole other thing, and it's something many website owners struggle with.
If you find yourself struggling with SEO or you just don't understand it, then hire Decrypted Search Engine Optimization Agency to do it for you.

The federal minimum wage was established in 1938, as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), to ensure that all work would be fairly rewarded and that regular employment would provide a decent quality of life. Congress makes periodic amendments to the FLSA to increase the federal minimum wage; however, since the 1960s, Congress has adjusted the federal minimum wage infrequently, enacting raises that have never been adequate to undo the erosion in the minimum wage's value caused by inflation. This decline in purchasing power means low-wage workers have to work longer hours just to achieve the standard of living that was considered the bare minimum almost half a century ago. The decline in the value of the minimum wage has contributed to wage stagnation, and is directly responsible for widening inequality between low- and middle-wage workers.
In light of Congressional inaction, many states, cities, and counties have enacted their own higher minimum wages, with EARN groups providing the key research and analysis evaluating proposed minimum wage increases. In doing so, they are taking steps to help workers afford their basic needs, bring them closer to the middle class, and ensure that even the lowest-paid workers in their jurisdictions will benefit from broader improvements in wages and productivity.
As of 2017, the federal minimum wage was worth 25 percent less than it was in 1968.
There are 7 states that have no minimum-wage law or a minimum wage below the federal minimum wage. The federal minimum wage applies in all of these states.
Giving West Virginia's Workers a Raise: Increasing the State Minimum Wage
West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy
Sean O'Leary
On April 14, 2013, the West Virginia House adopted HCR 107, expressing support for President Obama's proposal to increase the minimum wage to $9.00 an hour and index it to inflation, in
recognition of the decreasing value of the minimum wage and the idea that no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty.
Wages for West Virginia's workers, and in particular low-wage workers, have eroded, not just in recent years, but over the past several decades. As fewer workers have enjoyed the fruits of a growing economy, problems like income inequality and poverty are growing problems in the state. While there is no one quick fix, raising the minimum wage and adjusting it over time are key to reversing the long-term erosion of low-wage worker's earnings and combating inequality and poverty.

Raise LA: How Good Hotel Jobs Will Boost Local Businesses, Strengthen Neighborhoods and Renew Our Economy
Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy
Poverty jobs in LA's hotels are exacerbating the problem of poverty throughout the city. Workplace standards for tens of thousands of LA's hotel workers remain among the lowest of the city's major employment sectors. Hotel workers are a key piece of LA's highly successful tourism industry, but maintaining standards for workers has been largely ignored as hotel operators have focused intensely on boosting their bottom lines by increasing worker productivity.
Establishing a minimum wage for workers in LA's large hotels will directly address the problem of growing poverty in the city of Los Angeles and will stimulate our local economy by an estimated $71 million per year in increased local consumer spending and related economic activity.

Raising the minimum wage to $10.10: A win-win for Rhode Island workers and the economy
The Economic Progress Institute
Raising the minimum wage will improve the economic well-being of Rhode Islanders and strengthen the state's economy. Giving the lowest paid workers a raise will improve their economic security and help curb the growth in income inequality, which has been significant in the Ocean State over the past three decades. Putting more money in the pockets of workers will also put more money in the cash registers of locals businesses and create jobs in Rhode Island.
Minimum wage workers are not able to meet their basic needs. The Rhode Island Standard of Need, a study that documents the cost of living in the Ocean State, shows that a worker earning the state's current minimum wage of $7.75/hour falls short of meeting his or her basic expenses by $474 each month. Furthermore, while Rhode Island's minimum wage is slightly higher than the federal minimum wage, it still leaves a family of three well below the federal poverty line ($16,120 versus $18,480).
Examining the Evidence: The Impact of the Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinance on Workers and Businesses
Local governments are increasingly turning to living wage policies as a means to improve job quality for low-income workers. To date, more than 100 local governments around the country have passed living wage ordinances. Living wage laws set wage and benefit standards for workers employed by government contractors or other firms that have a financial relationship with the government. These laws have, in part, been a response to the stagnation of state and federal minimum wages, which have failed to keep pace with
inflation. In addition, these laws represent a reaction to the growing interest in contracting out city services as a means to cut costs, a strategy that advocates argue penalizes the low wage workers who perform city services. However, despite the prominence and continued growth in the number of living wage ordinances, only a handful of retrospective studies of firms have been published on the impacts of these laws. This study is the first to combine a random sample survey of affected firms and workers, a control group analysis of low-wage employers, and a matched firm and worker dataset. These elements make us confident that our survey results both isolate the effects of the living wage and accurately represent the experiences of living wage workers and firms.
As living wage laws have grown in popularity, so have debates about their effectiveness. Although these laws typically raise standards for just a small segment of jobs in a local labor market, they can focus public discussion on the issue of job quality. Proponents of
the law argue that the city should not be a low-wage employer, and that living wage policies put much-needed money in the pockets of low-income families, while also setting standards that have an impact beyond those directly affected by the law. Business groups have made similar arguments as those made against minimum wage hikes: that living wage laws will result in job reductions, harm small businesses, and will hurt the very population the policy is intended to serve. This study evaluates the experience in Los Angeles in order to determine what actually occurred after the living wage went into effect in that city, as well as provide broader lessons that contribute to the national debate.

A's acquire lefty Diekman from Royals
Martin Gallegos
@MartinJGallegos
OAKLAND -- The A's learned first-hand what constructing a deep bullpen can do for a run to the postseason in 2018, and they look to be following a similar formula in the days leading up to the July 31 Trade Deadline.
Struggling to close out games at times this season, the A's made a move looking to fortify the late innings with the addition of Royals reliever Jake Diekman on Saturday. Oakland traded Rookie League right-handed pitcher Ismael Aquino and Double-A outfielder Dairon Blanco in exchange for the left-hander.
The move marks the second time the A's have pulled off a deal with Kansas City this month after acquiring starter Homer Bailey on July 16.
• Watch MLB Network for around-the-clock Trade Deadline coverage
"We talked for a while about wanting to add to the bullpen," A's GM David Forst said. "Jake was someone we had engaged in the offseason as a free agent. The first thing that jumps out is the fastball velocity. He has pitched well against right-handers and is a good complement to what we have in the 'pen."
An eight-year veteran who spent four seasons with the Rangers from 2015-18, Diekman is a familiar face to A's hitters. Though his overall numbers haven't been spectacular this year -- he's 0-6 with a 4.75 ERA over 48 appearances -- A's manager Bob Melvin has seen enough of the left-hander to know his addition will only bolster the bullpen.
"He's a tough customer. He's a guy that misses some bats," Melvin said. "Watching left-handers around the league have to deal with him and talking to some of our guys, he's certainly not a comfortable at-bat. He makes us a lot better."
The A's hope to get Diekman on a flight to Oakland in time for Sunday's series finale against the Rangers, but the logistics of the move make Tuesday the more likely day for Diekman's arrival, which is when the A's begin a three-game series with the Brewers after Monday's off-day. When he does arrive, Diekman's hard fastball, which sits at around 97 mph, and ability to get both righties and lefties out make him a candidate to get work late in games. He has struck out 63 batters in 41 2/3 innings this year, which is ninth-most among American League relievers.
"It allows me to match up more with [Ryan] Buchter to maybe get a key left-hander out earlier in the game," Melvin said. "You can run him through an inning and not worry about the matchup. He was sought after by quite a few teams, so we're lucky to get him."
The A's enter Saturday night with a record of 58-47. Riding a three-game losing streak that moved them to a half game behind the Rays for the second American League Wild Card on Friday night, the A's will continue to be active before the Deadline as they look to boost their chances of reaching the playoffs for a second consecutive season. In 2018, Jeurys Familia was the big move on the day of the Deadline that helped solidify a three-headed monster in the back end of the bullpen between him, Lou Trivino and Blake Treinen.
With Treinen and Trivino struggling to find their 2018 forms, and Oakland's 19 blown saves the third-most by a bullpen in the Majors, adding another reliever remains a strong possibility. Starting pitching is also an area the A's could look to improve, with starters posting an 8.69 ERA over the last six games. Whatever direction they go, that next move likely won't come until Wednesday's Deadline, which is when Forst expects other clubs on the fence about buying or selling to feel the pressure.
"We still have other conversations going on. I think most of us need to be faced with a deadline to make decisions," Forst said. "That's sort of the nature of the game now. I think there's a chance Wednesday morning is a pretty exciting few hours.
"I have not put my phone away. We'll continue to be busy. Getting something done takes two sides, so I can't guarantee anything. But we'll continue to try."
Davis gets a break
Struggling to find any rhythm on a 28-game homerless streak that is now the longest of his career over a single season, Khris Davis was out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game. The slugger went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Friday night and is now 1-for-23 over his last six games.
But Davis is not the only hitter going through a rough patch. The A's have scored just seven runs over their last 27 innings played, also going homerless over that stretch.
"He's not the only guy struggling," Melvin said of Davis. "Sometimes these things get contagious. It's up to us to pick it up."

Costa Ricans are markedly taller than they were 50 years ago, but that's not the only direction they're growing.
Let's face it. Costa Rican's are known for many admirable things, but, alas, height is not one of them. Nevertheless, there is hope; studies show that today's generations are growing up to be notably taller than their grandparents.
In 2004, the Ministry of Health demonstrated that contemporary 19-year-old males were on average 11 centimeters taller than those in the year 1966. While women did not show quite the same growth, their average increased too. Similar patterns are evident in both Europe and the northern American countries, which lends to the question of rather immigration patterns play a role in recent changes to Costa Rica's demographics.
Outlet USA carries new, American brand clothing for all sizes, tall and large included![/quote_box_right]Whereas other countries such as the U.S. are finding themselves at a loss for the fresh fruits and veggies necessary to fulfill a healthy diet, a weekend trip to la feria will prove Costa Rica is at no such disadvantage. The tico market is saturated with a variety of affordable, nutritious foods — though a trip to the supermarket may not prove as fiscally satisfying.
Thankfully, the country's economy has also been generally on the rise, especially when compared to 25 years ago.
Together with increased medical awareness and better transportation, these conditions have contributed to taller children and thus higher national averages.
Unfortunately, Costa Rican's have not only been growing up but out. Earlier this year, La Nacion published that the average body mass index (BMI) for the country was 26.5, whereas the healthy range is considered between 20 and 25. Furthermore, their research — based on none other than the World Health Organization's Global Status Report on Health 2014: Noncommunicable Diseases — showed that 62% of the nation's population was overweight or obese. That's a 16 point increase from the results 20 years ago!
Recent studies from the University of Costa Rica and the Costa Rican Nutrition and Health Research Institute show that Costa Ricans are now choosing processed, pre-packaged foods and drinks over fresher, healthier options — a trend that is absolutely bewildering considering the substantial price difference between local markets and conventional grocery stores. Nevertheless, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) ranked Costa Rica fifth among Latin America's 20+ countries for consumption of processed foods.
Our modern world has entered a new phase where the impoverished are not necessarily encountering the same problems as before. Some studies have in fact linked poverty to obesity due to the fact that some of the least healthy foods are also often the cheapest.
Furthermore, when the local sense of security is low, individuals may be less inclined to take advantage of free forms of athletic activity such as running or biking. Instead, gyms become safe spaces for healthy habits, but they too cost money.
Such foods are literally addicting and have food many of us into overindulgence, despite Costa Rica's access to superfoods and a healthy, accessible diet. Be smart. Say no to these tricksters, and encourage the nation's next generation to grow up and not out.
[quote_box_center] Outlet USA is a Costa Rican importer of U.S. goods located in both La Sabana and Heredia. Since they purchase as wholesale, outlet prices they are able to pass those savings along and sell at rates comparable to the States.

Empire's Rafael de la Fuente Confirms Multi-Episode Season 2 Return
By Michael Slezak / September 14 2015, 12:46 PM PDT
Courtesy: Richard Beetham/FOX
Looks like Season 2 of Empire might find Jamal and Michael hitting an "up" in their "up-down up-down up-down" romance.
Rafael de la Fuente — whose Michael Sanchez exited Jamal's life, and the Fox ratings smash, after Season 1, Episode 7 — confirmed to TVLine that not only will he be back for the show's sophomore premiere, but that he's already shot four episodes.
"I can't wait for the audience to see Jamal and Michael's new dynamic," the actor told TVLine from Empire's red-carpet premiere event in New York City this weekend. "I think they're going to like it."
While de la Fuente was reluctant to share any specifics of how he and Jussie Smollet's R&B star/label exec will reunite, he agreed to tease their vibe in three phrases: "Sexy," "unexpected" and "real love."
As for the couple's abrupt Season 1 split — and the way Jamal publicly came out just one episode later — de la Fuente contended that his character "is proud of Jamal for coming out, because Michael is a big LGBT advocate. But a part of him is disappointed that he decided to do that after breaking up with Michael. It stings a little bit."
de la Fuente also hinted viewers can expect more "really funny" dynamics between Michael and Jamal's mercurial mother Cookie (Taraji P. Henson).
Excited about a Michael-Jamal reunion? Do you think their relationship will grow stronger the second time around? Sound off below!
