In the new episode of my podcast The Dan Wootton Interview – which you can subscribe to for free on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts – Evan says Diana became a second mother to the Billie Jean legend.
The singer, who was 21 when MJ died, tells me: "I had a really incredible relationship with him. In the later years my mum was like a mum to him and I think some of the most special times he spent was with my mother".
Evan started his music career by singing songs to Michael down the phone.
At 30, Evan is stepping out from his mother's shadow – but he insists he never felt troubled growing up as the son of an icon.
He explains: "I didn't find the shadow tough, I feel like it's a really special shadow to be under".
"My mum is so supportive and I think a lot of being around what I was around is what makes me so creative".
Opening up about the now infamous performance of SNL, Ashlee reveals she was desperate to pull out because she had woken up with vocal nodes.
She says: "I couldn't talk and I was like, 'I'm not doing it.' I'm like writing it down. And this is what you learn – you learn that when you say no you mean no".
Evan and Ashlee have a three-year-old daughter called Jagger (naturally named after Mick) – but she co-parents her nine-year-old son Bronx with Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz.
"We all get along. We lucked out," Ashlee enthuses.
All the family, including Diana, feature on the brilliant new show, which screens on E! from January – but the songs by Ashlee+Evan are out now.

Hawaiian Adding Summer Flight, Adjusting Weekly Schedule
Honolulu – March 19, 2012 - To accommodate increased travel demand between Pago Pago and Honolulu during the peak summer period, Hawaiian Airlines is adding a third weekly flight to operate every Tuesday from June 5 through August 21.
Hawaiian Flight #1465 will depart Honolulu International Airport at 4:50 p.m. and arrive at Pago Pago International Airport at 9:25 p.m. The return Flight #1466 will depart Pago Pago the same evening at 11:20 p.m. and arrive in Honolulu the following morning at 5:40 a.m.
In other news, starting July 9, Hawaiian is adjusting its year-round, twice-weekly flight schedule by changing its service on Sunday to a Monday arrival and departure. The weekly Thursday flight remains unchanged and both flights will use the same flight schedule as above.
Reservations and information are available online at HawaiianAirlines.com or by calling toll-free at (800) 367-5320 .
Hawaiian has led all U.S. carriers in on-time performance for each of the past eight years (2004-2011) as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. In addition, consumer surveys by Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and Zagat have all ranked Hawaiian the top domestic airline offering flights to Hawaii. Hawaiian was also the nation's highest-ranked carrier for service quality and performance in the prestigious Airline Quality Rating (AQR) study for 2008 and 2009.
Now in its 83rd year of continuous service in Hawaii, Hawaiian is the largest provider of passenger air service to Hawaii from the state's primary visitor markets on the U.S. mainland. Hawaiian offers nonstop service to Hawaii from more U.S. gateway cities (10) than any other airline, as well as service to Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, American Samoa, and Tahiti. Daily service to New York City will begin in June 2012. Hawaiian also provides approximately 170 daily jet flights between the Hawaiian Islands.

I have written many times in then past about the wonderful connections I have shared with readers, and how this column has been a blessing for me, and for those who choose to read and contact me for one reason or another.
I have received countless phone calls, cards, letters, and gifts over the years, and each time something like this happens I am just as flattered as I was when I received my first note in the mail almost seven years ago.
In addition to stories rich in history, sometimes pictures and old news clippings are brought or sent to me. On occasion a package is left for me at the Coast Star office. I have been given gifts-a hand painted tire swing, T-shirts, books, poems, flowers, homemade jam, a hand crafted bird house, art work, Christmas tree ornaments, and vintage cherub decorations.
My most recent parcel came via an 84-year-old man from Massachusetts who is a faithful reader. He has ties to the Coast Star dating back to the 1970s when his friends the Sampson's were involved intricately with the paper's production.

Last August, I was travelling to Bali, Madura (two places both in Indonesia), Singapore, Johor and Malaysia. I know it's November and it was super long before I post my whole travelling & food guide stories to you all, but hey, you could use this guide anytime – well, except the fact that Singapore 50th National Day only came once in your life time, hahaha! If some of you wondering why I'm "gone" for a while, to cut it short – I don't want to get you bored – it's because these few months are my life changing events & hell yeah, I am pretending to be busy, LOL. Once again, sorry for the delay!
I arrived at Singapore around 2 p.m on 9 August 2015 (YES, IT'S THE NATIONAL DAY BABE!!), because my flight is not a direct flight. So, I need to transit for about 3 hours in Jakarta (there's another story for this, and it's kinda long because Surabaya – Singapore route is being hold since December last year due to some reasons, but thanks to Air Asia crew, they manage to turn my flights so that I still can go to Singapore via Jakarta *YEYY!).
When you step out from the airplane, if you're Indonesian and you're using Air Asia, you'll see this signs. Just follow the "Arrival" sign until you could grab your baggage. Changi Airport is really huge, so you might watch out because you don't want to get lost, right?
Not for long, you'll find this sign "Welcome Terminal 1" you're still on the right track! Don't forget to keep follow the sign until you reach the "Arrival Immigration" on the airport.
As I walk through the Travelator, I spot something unique and beneficial for those who feel tired after your long flight. There are some foot massage facilities along the way to the Immigration. If you're travelling with older people, it'll be very useful. I spot an old lady enjoying the foot massage.
You'll walk down on an escalator and spot the Terminal 1 Immigration. Take out the form that you've filled inside the airplane – or maybe take a new one if you lost it / haven't take it – then start queuing. While waiting, you could grab some brochures and small guide around. I found it quiet useful, because you could get more insights about what's going on and around Singapore.
Passed the immigration, I board the "SkyTrain" to Terminal 2, because I'll hop on MRT to go to my hotel. If you also want to hop MRT, then follow the sign "SkyTrain". Guess what? Because that day was the 50th National Day, you could ride the MRT FOR FREE. Yes, you read it right, FREE the whole day!
I book a hotel near Aljunied (MRT : Aljunied) area called "Chang Ziang Hotel" through Agoda.com with a great price. A queen bed & a single bed, for 3 persons, only IDR 700,000. You'll have an inside bathroom, complete bathroom supplies, 3 complimentary bottled water, television, air-con, even there's a fridge inside. Here's the map to the hotel – super easy!
Here's a room tour with pictures, the hotel is very clean, comfy, and homey!
After I clean myself and put all my belongings inside the hotel, because today is the National Day, I heard that the fireworks will begin on the Marina Bay Sands, on The Float area. A bit of intermezzo, here's what Singapore's MRT Hallway look like. (Reminds me of how happy I am to be back on Singapore again after 5 years!!).
Thankfully, there's still a big LED screen in front of the MRT station, where I could watch the National Parade. From there I found out that yes, it's true that the Parade passed by in the area, but the primary location of the whole National event is not located on the Marina Bay. The complete story will soon on the Singapore Day 2!
I don't want to share picture only, so here's a short video on the Parade (almost the end of it, I know *also sad* 😦 ) and also what's on the LED Screen.
Lesson learnt : Even though you already search information on the website, it's better to go there earlier – like really, earlier – especially on a special, once in a lifetime day like this, like taking a flight one day before, or arrived in the morning.
Day 2 : Singapore – St. Andrew's & Orchard Road !

In international law, the term extraterritoriality refers to those instances where a state extends its jurisdiction or effective control over zones, individuals or activities beyond its borders. The concept may apply to military movements of foreign soil as well as to embassies or diplomats in the form of diplomatic immunity. Extraterritoriality is therefore rooted in the concept of sovereignty, although it is usually considered as its violation.
Today, territorial fragments have been set apart and reinvigorated by improvised barricades, temporary boundaries, or invisible security apparatuses. Instead of its edges clearly defined by continuous lines, political spaces have now grown to resemble a territorial plaid of isolated areas located side by side, each within the other, simultaneously and in unprecedented proximities.
The colonial present is simultaneously marked by increased deterritorialization and trans-border connectivity for the global rich and increased territorialized segregation and exclusion for the global poor. Instead of the illusionary promise of a smooth and networked "flat world," we have found ourselves negotiating the fragments of a fenced-up apartheid planet.
Future Memories reflects upon a notion of segregation and exclusion. Within the framework of territorial dilemmas, the exhibition explores the concepts of control, identity, habitat and, belonging throughout the works of artist and architects.

MUNDIAL GT - TF SPORT NAS 24 HORAS DE SPA
Sexta, 27 Julho 2018 07:02 | Actualizado em Quarta, 15 Janeiro 2020 13:14
Oman Racing with TF Sport confident heading to the Total 24 Hours of Spa
Oman Racing with TF Sport are all set for one of the biggest challenges on the GT calendar, the Total 24 Hours of Spa, round four of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup (26 - 29 July).
As previously announced, Aston Martin Racing factory driver Ross Gunn joins Ahmad Al Harthy, Euan McKay and Charlie Eastwood in the #97 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 for this event. Currently fourth in the Silver Cup with 35 points, the team are looking for its first podium of the season and to close the deficit to the points leader.
Testing for the Blancpain Series took place in early July with TF Sport running all four drivers and ended with the team fastest of the Silver Cup runners. This bodes well for the team that took Pro-Am title honours at the circuit last year with the runner-up position.
Tom Ferrier, TF Sport Director
"We know this is an especially tricky race and we certainly can't take anything for granted. We've not had the season we'd been hoping for in this championship so far, so we're really seeking a strong result at Spa. It's a great to have Ross on board for this race, and we have a great driver line-up, so let's see if we can bring home decent points from Belgium."
Ahmad Al Harthy
"I'm really looking forward to the biggest race of the year, the one we've been waiting for and has been our focus for the last few months. We know how tough it's going to be, such a challenge for the team and for the drivers. It's a real highlight in the schedule and we're aiming for a great result after our title winning run to P2 in 2017.
"We have great memories and it's definitely something we want to build on this year and - most importantly - that we have a good, safe and clean race and then see where we are after 24 hours!"
Charlie Eastwood
"The test day went well; it's a very long and difficult track so it's great to get some mileage in ahead of the big Spa 24-hour race. I think we have a great chance going into the race with a great team and line up around us. I have been told its one of the most difficult 24-hour races in the world, so I can't wait to give it a go!"
Euan McKay
"I'm really happy with how the test went and I think we're in a good position going into the race week. It was also my first time at Spa and I loved it, it's such a great place and steeped with history. The circuit itself was great fun and I can't wait to get back there.
"The addition of Ross will help us, and he gelled well with the team instantly. I'm thoroughly looking forward to what is undoubtedly the flagship weekend of our season, and I can't wait to see what we can do."
Ross Gunn
"It was great to work with the TF Sport team, Charlie, Euan and Ahmad before the big race at the end of the month. Everything felt familiar from the word go, and from there we worked through our programme. We are feeling confident for Spa 24."

If we could take a tiny glass elevator down the trajectory of a Marcellus Shale well, we would see slabs of coal, sandstone, shale and siltstone alternating and colliding with one another for thousands of feet until we finally reach the target rock.
That means drilling horizontal wells as shallow as 2,000 feet underground and fracturing, or fracking, them to force more fuel to the surface.The verdict on most of these efforts won't be known to the public until next February, when companies are required to file their production reports for this year. Texas-based Range Resources, one of the biggest players in the Marcellus, isn't downsizing its overall ambitions.It's still forcing drill bits a mile underground to reap Marcellus bounty. Instead, the shallower fields are opportunities for smaller, perhaps family-owned oil and gas companies that until now have been squeezed out of the game, Mr. Zagorski said.
That's exactly what Mark Thompson was thinking when he founded Horizontal Exploration LLC two years ago. Mr. Thompson has been drilling shallow, vertical oil and gas wells into the Upper Devonian sandstones with his Indiana, Pa.-based company Mid-East Oil for 35 years.The newer business, Horizontal Exploration, was designed to profit from technology and services that followed Marcellus operators into Pennsylvania in recent years. Horizontal Exploration has drilled three horizontal, or lateral, wells so far and has permits for another eight in Pennsylvania. It fracked the first well this month and is awaiting results. The wells are about 2,000 feet deep and extend between 3,300 feet and 5,300 feet horizontally. "We think you should be able to do these for $800,000 to $900,000 [per well]," Mr. Thompson said.But at the moment, the company is spending about $1.3 million a pop. It's still toward the bottom of the learning curve, he explained.
A Marcellus well, by contrast, can run anywhere from $4 million to $10 million. It needs, on average, 5 million gallons of water for fracking. Horizontal Exploration is using only about 120,000 gallons of fluid to frack its shallow wells. The conventional laterals will never produce anywhere near the amount of oil and gas coming out of the deeper Marcellus wells, but Mr. Thompson is hoping for at least 10 times the bounty of a vertical shallow well and a quicker payback period — about 18 months, compared to four years.
The Upper Devonian sandstones are thinner than the Marcellus. Some are only 20 feet thick compared with the Marcellus' average thickness of 70 feet or more, said Dan Billman, president of Mars-based Billman Geologic Consultants Inc., which helps companies identify suitable spots to sink both conventional and unconventional wells. While shale rock is tight and relatively impermeable, sandstone is porous and oil and gas easily flow through its tunnels. That means the pressure needed to frack it is a fraction of what's required for a deep shale well. And some conventional horizontal wells are designed not to be fracked at all, Mr. Billman said. One of the earliest horizontal shallow wells in Pennsylvania, with advice from Mr. Billman, was drilled by Freeport-based Phoenix Energy Productions in 2010. Since then, the company has drilled two more horizontal wells in Washington County and hasn't fracked any of them.
Penneco Oil Company Inc. in Delmont, on the other hand, has been fracking horizontal shallow wells for several years now. It perforates the casing at more than a dozen stages and pumps "off-the-shelf" frack fluid additives into oil and gas formations about 3,200 feet under Greene, Westmoreland and Allegheny counties with great success, according to Penneco's COO Ben Wallace. "We hear this from a lot of drillers — they get called because oil and gas companies look up our completion reports," Mr. Wallace said. Penneco's sandstone wells cost "several million" dollars to complete, Mr. Wallace said, and the company plans to drill about 10 horizontals a year. While the wells are closer to the surface and to water aquifers, companies and the Department of Environmental Protection say there's no reason to think fluids or fuel will reach the water. "We certainly have less history on these wells, but so far no problems," said Alan Eichler, DEP's Southwest regional oil and gas program manager. Shallower wells don't need the same force to be fracked as deep wells, he said, and coal-bed methane wells, which are also shallow, "have been fracked for years without any problems to freshwater aquifers." But Mr. Eichler noted that coal-bed methane, which crumbles a lot easier than sandstone, likely needs even less pressure during a frack than wells like Penneco's. More will be known in the near future, as this type of drilling picks up steam.
Several other companies, such as Warren County-based Pennsylvania General Energy and Catalyst Energy have secured permits from the Department of Environmental Protection to drill horizontally in shallow reservoirs. Shallow, or conventional, drillers report their production annually, not every six months as Marcellus operators must, so the results of these efforts won't be available until next year.


Resolutions be gone! Let's stop making ourselves 'wrong' and needing to be 'fixed'. I propose an easier more gentle way of approaching our evolution. Here are 7 reasons why they don't work and 9 steps on what to do instead.

Album Reviews : Rainshadow – End Songs
By Brendan Amos on March 1, 2009
With influences from the who's who of the doomy style, Melbourne's Rainshadow have produced a solid album of gothic styled heavy metal. With music and lyrics written by main man Ben Williamson, and with some recording help contributed by Mark Kelson (The Eternal), a mature and professional sound to the album really shines through creating a conflict of moods and allowing you the listener to take what you want from the music.
The opposing relationship that extends through the ten songs on the album offers an interesting point to consider. It confused me a little as to why the lyrics and music seemingly head toward different meanings and directions. Perhaps it's the state of mind that one has when listening to this style of music as to whether you will understand my meaning or not. If quite contented with life, you'll find yourself drawn to the music more so, with tracks such as the Katatonia inspired 'It's All Over' along with 'Frost Bite' feeling really upbeat. However if your truly in the doomy mood, focus solely on the lyrics and that's where you will stay, if you run through the track titles you will understand my meaning.
While the kick, snare, kick, snare drumbeat is generally quiet uninspired and reminds me of The Eternal's debut album, the music itself offers quite an emotionally defiant feeling that counteracts the downcast and doomy lyrical topics, which are true gothic pessimism. The mix on the album is fantastic, with quite a bass driven tone throughout, however stepping back when need be to allow the guitar and occasional atmospheric keyboards to come to the fore. The vocals are well delivered too, rarely straining beyond their range, although a bit more variety would not go astray on future releases.
Matched with an appearance on a Terrorizer Magazine CD, this album is a great start for the band, however the obvious influences shine through and some more Rainshadow originality wouldn't go astray. 7/10

Forever Falling - Suspended Over The Immanent - Reviewed By Heavy Metal Webzine ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.heavymetalwebzine.it/2022/02/09/forever-falling-suspended-over-the-immanent/
" Lost " , "falling", "paradise", "forever". Changing the order of the addenda, what then happens to the result? The Fall Is Eternal. Eternal and inevitable. A forced, all-encompassing collapse. The well-deserved fall in spite of a hoped-for slip. Suspended on the immanent and then ruined. Blessed be that floor, that dark friend on which to flounder with exhaustion, on which to live the eternal nightmare, to be flooded with the opaque tears of a life. The unworkable quiescence, the floor becomes empty and is only a void in which to perpetuate the fall, to die in the silence of silent words, the prospect of a black painted of ourselves. A painting that Forever Falling grab with the favor of their nails and synthesize on the anguished and black silhouette, but here discarded, of Shape Of Despair.
The quick brushstrokes of tragic epicness of the aforementioned baronets, in "I Will Never Sleep" and "To Die In Silence", and of empty black à la Anathema, in "Only Emptiness", serve only as a further, generic framing of an album that could, listening on listening [maybe from the stereo, not from a vile .mp3 on computers like us poor people], rise a little from the average in a hypothetical ranking of modern works of the genre. With the inspiration of the suggestive cover and the attractive introductory sketch that is "Bless This Floor", the most savvy gallerists consider themselves in the game.
It is a young record company with a promising name, the Morning Star Heathens, to have presented in society the even younger transoceanic duo. As for us, although we have little confidence in telecollaborations and even less in the fact that the tools on Suspended Over The Immanent are real, we can only observe the continuation of the fall absorbed. - Heavy Metal Webzine

We've had a couple weeks of respite from these, so let's get back into the trash fire that is Sunfire. Other trash fires just don't compare to this glory of these books.
The premise of this book is not, by itself, horrible. (That's pretty high praise for one of these books, I know.) Unfortunately, it is ground that has been trodden very well in a zillion other books, including not one but two different Dear America books and a whole slew of others. Why is the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory disaster so endlessly popular for kids' and YA fiction? This seems like a strange choice to me! There have been (unfortunately) many, many, many factory disasters, and there's no end of trade union drama during that part of American history, but the Triangle disaster is like catnip for mediocre fiction writers.
Does it still qualify as a Revolutionary War book is it takes place just slightly afterwards? Sure, why not. This takes place juuuust as the war is finishing up and then just after.
With Nothing But Our Courage: The Loyalist Diary of Mary MacDonald, Johnstown, Quebec, 1783, Karleen Bradford, 2002.
I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of Karleen Bradford, and this isn't even my favourite novel by her. But it's still really interesting to visit the postwar period from a non-American perspective, since the Dear America novels on this period focus on the war itself and even the Loyalist novel takes place at the very beginnings of the war.
The Revolutionary War is one of those mish-mashy things that encompassed a bunch of different combatants (did you know Spain was involved???) and brought a generally rocky start to the United States. So the book's setting, in 1783/84, is right in the thick of the nonsense. The protagonist, Mary, lives in Albany with her Loyalist parents and grandmother and two younger siblings—her older brother Angus being off fighting with the King's army. A group of Patriots—including former friends of the family—take her father and tie him to a mule and parade him through town, telling him to get out of town or else.
Let's do another Compare and Contrast of one historical event: Loyalists in the Revolutionary War in both Dear America and next week, Dear Canada!
Love Thy Neighbor: The Tory Diary of Prudence Emerson, Green Marsh, Massachusetts, 1774, Ann Turner, 2003.
I'm not crazy about Ann Turner as an author, and this book really didn't do anything for me. It's more childish in tone than a lot of the other entries in the series, which I think works against it. A tone that could have worked for a less fraught period really doesn't function incredibly well here, and ends up inadvertently minimalizing the issues at hand. The protagonist of the novel for the opposite perspective, The Winter of the Red Snow, is even younger, but the general tone of that book is much more mature. I would love to say that it was a stylistic choice, but I doubt it.
Prudence, the narrator, lives in a small village in Massachusetts with her family (two parents, two brothers, three sisters) on the eve of the Revolution. They're Tories, but Prudence's best friend is Abigail, a girl whose family are all Patriots. That doesn't last very long, since on Page 9 Abigail tells Prudence that her father has forbidden them to socialize with one another any more. In an effort to give some of the basics behind the war, Prudence wonders why it isn't a good thing to be loyal to the king, or why anyone would want to do anything else, or why they should change. I get it—it's just a bit heavy-handed. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just strikes me as vaguely odd.
Another thing that aggravates me about this book is that it features that classic trope of Girl Who Hates Typical Feminine Chores So Modern Readers Can Relate. (I need a catchier title.) And another thing (while I'm at it) is that Prudence keeps complaining of her "corsets," and that she can't breathe. They were called "stays" in the eighteenth century, not corsets, they weren't called corsets in English until the 1830s. And stays were much less restrictive than corsets and were not intended to inhibit breathing, but only to support the breasts and back. Things like this make me pretty irritated with the lack of research and makes me fret for the rest of the novel.


This installment showcases 95 bottles in various shades & accents of white. Some clear bottles have been included to fill it out.
For the image below, each contestant is challenged to name a minimum of one fragrance and a maximum of five fragrances, by responding to this thread. The more bottles you name, the more "tickets" you'll have in the prize lottery. Thanks to Grant and other generous Basenoters, we have several prizes again for this contest.
If your browser resizes the picture to fit your window, the bottles will not be as easy to see.
Give as much detail as you can (gender, special editions, etc.).
You must name the house and the fragrance for your answer to count. Details that distinguish one bottle from others in the same line should be included. (Example: CK One Summer 2005 is a different bottle than CK One Summer 2007. "CK One Summer" would be an incomplete answer.) If you don't see your answer on the master list, I'm looking for more detail.
If some bottles remain unnamed toward the end, I'll open up the contest to allow more guesses per person.
I will keep updating the master list as time allows, to reflect the bottles that have been named, but a review of the previous posts may help before you submit your answers.
PLEASE post additional new answers in a new reply. If you only edit your first post, I may not catch the update.
6:01p.m. (CDT - US), Saturday, July 18, 2009 => 12:01a.m. GMT, July 19.
Anyone who became a Basenotes member prior to July 12, 2009. Previous winners are also invited to participate.

No problem, senZuality! The first few contests had each player try to guess all of the bottles individually, but this stirs things up a bit.

But it's not quite the same as this Trussardi... you landed on one of my trickier ones.


Feb. 7, 2012 – A significant number of retirees on Medicare lack a solid understanding of the health insurance program's coverage and costs. Two out of three, for example, did not know if Medicare covers long-term care. This lack of knowledge results in unexpected financial surprises, according to research by the Bankers Life and Casualty Company Center for a Secure Retirement.
The study, Retirement Healthcare for Middle-Income Americans, focused on 400 pre-Medicare Baby Boomers (age 47 to 64) and 400 senior citizens (age 65 to 75) with an annual household income of between $25,000 and $75,000.
It found that one in three Medicare enrollees still did not know how much the program covers for doctor's visits (33 percent) or hospitalization (31 percent), which are the basic components of the program's health benefits.
The CSR study also found nearly half (49 percent) do not understand their benefits for vision care and hearing care, both which are services typically not covered by Medicare.
Long-term care was found to be the least understood and the greatest perceived threat to financial security for middle-income Americans. Two out of three (66 percent) Medicare recipients did not know if the program covers long-term care or overestimate its long-term care coverage.
Medicare has long been labeled as an entitlement program but middle-income Americans say it is not the free ride many assume it is. Two-thirds (65 percent) of those on Medicare report paying the same or more for healthcare now that they are on Medicare, resulting in unexpected financial surprises.
The most common financial surprises for Medicare enrollees is the cost of monthly Part B premiums with nearly half (44 percent) who report paying more than they had expected.
● splitting pills to make their prescriptions last longer (12 percent).
"Financial fallout from healthcare related expenses can devastate savings and strip away the enjoyment of one's retirement years," said Chris Campbell, vice president of strategic marketing and business development for Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a national life and health insurer.
"Review your Medicare plan options annually and look into new health and prescription drug plans that better meet your needs. Also, consider purchasing additional healthcare insurance to address services not covered by Medicare and out-of-pocket expenses."
According to the CSR study, three out of four (77 percent) have purchased an insurance product or a Medicare Supplement insurance plan to help pay out of pocket expenses typically not covered by the Medicare program.
The Bankers Life and Casualty Company Center for a Secure Retirement's study Retirement Healthcare for Middle-Income Americans was conducted in September 2011 by the independent research firm The Blackstone Group. The complete report can be viewed at www.CenterForASecureRetirement.com.

Tag: Philip Pearl Jr.
This is the second installment of a three part series about the life of Philip Pearl Jr., his daughter Hannah, and their involvement in the early years of the Abolition Movement. The first installment can be found at this link.
The crisis began in January of 1833, but its roots go back many years before that.
Prudence Crandall (1803-1890),x Portrait painted in 1834 by Francis Alexander
A year and a half earlier, the families of Canterbury, Connecticut invited a teacher, Prudence Crandall, to establish a "Boarding School for Girls" in The town. One reason for such a school was very obvious to many at the time.
The Erie Canal had opened in 1825, providing the first portage-free route from Albany New York to the Great Lakes. The Ohio and Erie Canal soon followed, traversing Ohio from the Ohio River north to Lake Erie, entering the lake not far from the Erie Canal's terminus in Erie, PA. Many of the young men and families in New England, faced with a shortage of sufficient land, and with soil exhausted from a century or more of farming, were taking advantage of the new canals to move west to Ohio and beyond. During these decades, large population drops are recorded throughout the region.

Allen	FARM FAMILIES	1 Comment September 3, 2019 September 4, 2019
This website focuses on the descendants of Austin Eugene Pearl, but there were many other Pearls in Hampton, all descendants of Timothy Pearl (1694-1773, who settled in Hampton in about 1717). These other branches, like our own, lived in Hampton and surrounding communities for many generations. Although some of Philip Pearl Jr's own children (including Patrick Henry Pearl) lived in Hampton up until the early 20th century, he is but a distant cousin to our line, as seen in the chart below…
Timothy Pearl (b. 1694, d. 1773)
….Timothy's 7th child was James Pearl (b. 1739, d. 1831)
……..James 7th Child was Jerome Pearl (b. 1775, d.1825)
…………Jerome's 6th child was John Porter Pearl (b. 1813, d. 1881)
…………….John's 3rd child was Austin Eugene Pearl (b. 1851, d. 1927, this is our ancestral line)
….Timothy's 12th child was Philip Pearl, Sr. (b. 1747, d. 1835)
……..Philip Sr's 2nd Child was (the Honorable) Philip Pearl, Jr. (b. 1783, d. 1850, the subject of this posting)
The Honorable Philip Pearl, Jr. was born 19 Aug. 1783 to Philip and Olive Wheeler Farnam Pearl in Hampton, CT and became a member of Hampton Congregational Church in 1804. He was a wealthy farmer and landowner who lived in Hampton all his life.
Like many of his cousins and descendants, Philip was a prominent man in the public affairs of Windham County and the State of Connecticut. He represented Hampton as a Senator in the State General Assemblies; and was named Captain of Hampton's Company of Grenadiers (formed soon after the Revolution by the town's many Veterans and sustained by the residents "with much enthusiasm" for many decades afterward). He was also a Deputy Sheriff and a Justice of the Peace.
In the Presidential election in the fall of 1840; Philip Jr., a Whig, was one of eight presidential electors to cast the vote of the State for Wm. Henry Harrison for President, and John Tyler for Vice President.
The Prudence Crandall Museum, Canterbury CT
During his tenure as a State Senator, his daughter, Hannah Pearl (b. 1815) was a student at the "Prudence Crandall Female Academy" in nearby Canterbury, CT for the 1832-3 school year. The school was established in 1831 with the support of the town to teach young ladies from wealthy families in advanced subjects. The original school building is now a National Historic Landmark and museum roughly 10 miles South and East of Hampton Center.
Philip was killed 17 May 1850 at age 66 when a building that was being torn down fell on him. He is buried in Hammond Cemetery (North Cemetery), Hampton. He left most of his estate to his 7th child, Patrick Henry Pearl (1819-1900) on his death.
In the next article we'll talk more about the Prudence Crandall Female Academy, the immense controversy that surrounded it, and Philip Pearl's leading role in it. We'll end the series with an article about how this controversy led to his deep involvement with major personalities and formative events in the evolution of the Abolitionist Movement of the mid 1800's.
We are still looking for additional information on Philip Pearl, Jr., such as: details of his history as a public servant; exactly where he resided in Hampton; more information on the lives of some of his children, especially Hannah Pearl (b. April 7, 1815); and photos or images of him and his family. If you wish to help us research these questions, are a descendant of Philip Pearl, Jr., or already have some of this information, please let us know!

Georgian graduate of Harvard launches an artificial intelligence company in the US
The role of artificial intelligence is increasing year by year throughout the world. According to computer technology specialists, development of this field will gradually replace human resources. Some companies have actively started working on artificial intelligence.
Palatine Analytics is one of such companies that is actively involved in developing this direction. It is noteworthy that person behind the company is 24 years old Georgian graduate of Harvard Archil Cheishvili.
He launched an artificial intelligence company together with his two friends
First Georgian Harvard graduate introduces his software evaluating humans
after graduating from Department of Economics at Harvard University.
Georgian graduate of Harvard Archil Cheishvili
According to him, his company operates successfully in the United States, while its turnover increases by 25% per month. Palatine Analytics helps large companies to manage human resources properly.
In particular, mood, productivity, motivation and future plans of an employee are analyzed by using artificial intelligence. The software developed by Archil Cheishvili and his friends, evaluates the possibility and the reasons of an employee's dismissal as well as the chances of one's potential of professional development.
After conducting research, Palatine Analytics advises companies how to maintain valuable employees and increase both their motivation and productivity.
The idea popped up in our mind when sitting at Harvard University cafeteria. We noticed that the employees of many companies had a problem of losing the interest towards work and also they could not develop themselves professionally. As a result, such demotivated staff had to leave their jobs. When hiring new workers company has to organize training and devote more time, that is unprofitable for the employer. What's more, my friends and I were interested in artificial intelligence, so we decided to combine these two directions and eventually came up with Palatine Analytics" Archil explains.
The company founded by 24 years old Georgian has been operating for a year and a half
The company founded by 24 years old Georgian has been operating for a year and a half already.
"Our system consists of three main parts. The employees of the companies visit our website to answer specific questions and on its basis they receive result. For instance, the questionnaire unfolds what they should improve and why. Then we analyze this data and deliver the information about the employee's strong and weak sides to the management of the company.
We also observe how their skills change time by time and forecast the possible future of the employee based on one's mindset. Subsequently, companies know how to foster development of their employees as fast as possible.
The second part focuses on the goals of the employees, and how they are fulfilled.Third part is the questionnaires. We ask the employees a simple question, for example, "how are you doing today?" Based on they response: happily, miserly, or neutrally, we can decrease the number of people who might suddenly leave the company", says Archil.
Archil plans to offer the service to Georgian companies too
According to Archil Cheishvili, former employees of the companies such as Microsoft and Google are also involved in Palatine Analytics' work.
Archil plans to offer the service to Georgian companies too. According to him, Georgian companies are already interested in cooperating with him.
Archil Cheishvili, who is successfully engaged in business activities, studied at Tbilisi's #55 public school. After its completion he decided to advance his knowledge in economics at one of the world's most prestigious institutes the Harvard University.
"The reason behind my decision was that I wanted to create a big business, for which I need high level education. Harvard University funded my studies with$ 65,000 per year. In order to get such funding one has to satisfy certain requirements. In particular, your previous background should match university's criteria as well as, you have to beat 99 percent of the applicants with your test results", - Archil Cheishvili elaborates.
Archil became interested in business at the age of 12, and at the age of 14 he gained some experience in this direction, which eventually fueled his strive to become professional of this field.
After launching his own company, he plans to simplify the lives of people
Later, when he already had relevant education in economy, Archil started working at one of the famous companies Bridgewater Associates, where he was one of the youngest employees.
After launching his own company, he plans to simplify the lives of people through artificial intelligence, improve their working environment and ease the work through technology. In future, he plans to apply his knowledge and experience in Georgia to benefit the local community.

Western Ukraine or West Ukraine (Ukrainian: ? ?) is a geographical and historical relative term used in reference to the western territories of Ukraine. It includes several historical regions such as Transcarpathia[disambiguation needed], Halychyna including Pokuttia, most of Volhynia, northern Bukovina as well as western Podolia. Less often it includes territories of eastern Volhynia, Podolia, and small portion of northern Bessarabia (eastern part of Chernivtsi Oblast). Important cities are Buchach, Chernivtsi, Drohobych, Halych (hence - Halychyna), Ivano-Frankivsk, Khotyn, Lutsk, Lviv, Mukacheve, Rivne, Ternopil, Uzhhorod and others. Western Ukraine is not an administrative category within Ukraine.
It is used mainly in the context of European history pertaining to the 20th-century wars and the ensuing period of annexations. At the onset of World War II the whole territory was incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (?),[1][2][3][4] following single-candidate "elections" held on October 22, 1939.[5] Its historical background makes Western Ukraine uniquely different from the rest of the country, and contributes to its distinctive character of today.[6]
Following the 14th century Galicia-Volhynia Wars, most of the region was transferred to the Crown of Poland under Casimir the Great, who received the lands legally by a downward agreement in 1340 after his nephew's death, Boles?aw-Jerzy II. The territory of Bucovina was occupied by Moldavian voivode Drago? who was departed by the Kingdom of Hungary. The eastern Volhynia and most of Podolia was added to the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Lubart.
After the 18th century partitions of Poland (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) the territory was split between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian Empire. The modern south-western part of Western Ukraine became the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, after 1804 crownland of the Austrian Empire. Its northern flank with the cities of Lutsk and Rivne was acquired in 1795 by Imperial Russia following the third and final partition of Poland. Throughout its existence Russian Poland was marred with violence and intimidation, beginning with the 1794 massacres, imperial land-theft and the deportations of the November and January Uprisings.[7] By contrast, the Austrian Partition with its Sejm of the Land in the cities of Lviv and Stanyslaviv (Ivano-Frankivsk) was freer politically perhaps because it had a lot less to offer economically.[8] Imperial Austria did not persecute Ukrainian organizations.[4] In later years, Austria-Hungary de facto encouraged the existence of Ukrainian political organizations in order to counterbalance the influence of Polish culture in Galicia. The southern half of West Ukraine remained under Austrian administration until the collapse of the House of Habsburg at the end of World War One in 1918.[4]
Interbellum and World War II
Following the defeat of Ukrainian People's Republic (1918) in the Ukrainian-Soviet War of 1921, Western Ukraine was partitioned by the Treaty of Riga between Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the Soviet Russia acting on behalf of the Soviet Belarus and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic with capital in Kharkiv. The Soviet Union gained control over the entire territory of the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic east of the border with Poland.[9] In the Interbellum most of the territory of today's Western Ukraine belonged to the Second Polish Republic. Territories such as Bukovina and Carpatho-Ukraine belonged to Romania and Czechoslovakia, respectively.
At the onset of Operation Barbarossa by Nazi Germany, the region became part of the Third Reich in 1941. The southern half of West Ukraine was incorporated into the semi-colonial Distrikt Galizien (District of Galicia) created on August 1, 1941 (Document No. 1997-PS of July 17, 1941 by Adolf Hitler) with headquarters in Che?m Lubelski, bordering district of General Government to the west. Its northern part (Volhynia) was assigned to the Reichskommissariat Ukraine formed in September 1941. Notably, the District of Galicia was a separate administrative unit from the actual Reichskommissariat Ukraine with capital in Rivne. They were not connected with each other politically.[10] Bukovina was controlled by the pro-Nazi Kingdom of Romania. After the defeat of Germany in World War II, in May 1945 the Soviet Union incorporated all territories of current Western Ukraine into the Ukrainian SSR.[9]
Western Ukraine includes such lands as Zakarpattia (Kárpátalja), Volyn, Halychyna (Prykarpattia, Pokuttia), Bukovyna, Polissia, and Podillia. Note that sometimes Khmelnytsky region is considered a part of the central Ukraine as it is mostly lies within the western Podillya.
The history of Western Ukraine is closely associated with the history of the following lands:
Easternmost Bukovina, historical region of Central Europe in official use since 1775, controlled by Kingdom of Romania after World War I and mostly ceded to the USSR by the Paris Peace Treaties, 1947.
Eastern Galicia (Ukrainian: Halychyna), once a small kingdom with Lodomeria (1914), province of the Austrian Empire until the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918. See also: crownland of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria
Red Ruthenia since medieval times in the area known today as Eastern Galicia.
West Ukrainian People's Republic declared in late 1918 until early 1919 and claiming half of Galicia with mostly Polish city dwellers (historical sense).
Carpatho-Ukraine region within Czechoslovakia (1939) under Hungarian control until the Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944.
General Government of Galicia and Bukovina captured from Austria-Hungary during World War I.
?inutul Suceava (Kingdom of Romania)
Volhynia, historic region straddling Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus to the north. The alternate name for the region today is Lodomeria after the city of Volodymyr-Volynsky. See also: Polish unofficial term Kresy (Borderlands, 1918-1939) that includes the West Belarus as well as Volhynia.
Zakarpattia or Carpathian Ruthenia presently in the Zakarpattia Oblast of western Ukraine.

Differences with rest of Ukraine
"Perhaps, if Ukraine did not have its western regions, with Lviv at the centre, it would be easy to turn the country into another Belarus. But Galichina (Halychyna) and Bukovina, which became part of Soviet Ukraine under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, brought to the country a rebellious and free spirit."
Andrey Kurkov in an opinion piece about Euromaidan on BBC News Online (28 January 2014)[11]
Ukrainian is the dominant language in the region. Back in the schools of the Ukrainian SSR learning Russian was mandatory; currently, in modern Ukraine, in schools with Ukrainian as the language of instruction, classes in Russian and in other minority languages are offered.[4][12]
In terms of religion, the majority of adherents share the Byzantine Rite of Christianity as in the rest of Ukraine, but due to the region escaping the 1920s and 1930s Soviet persecution, a notably greater church adherence and belief in religion's role in society is present. Due to the complex post-independence religious confrontation of several church groups and their adherents, the historical influence played a key role in shaping the present loyalty of Western Ukraine's faithful. In Galician provinces, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has the strongest following in the country, and the largest share of property and faithful. In the remaining regions: Volhynia, Bukovina and Transcarpathia the Orthodoxy is prevalent. Outside of Western Ukraine the greatest in terms of Church property, clergy, and according to some estimates, faithful, is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). In the listed regions (and in particular among the Orthodox faithful in Galicia), this position is notably weaker, as the main rivals, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, have a far greater influence.
Noticeable cultural differences in the region (compared with the rest of Ukraine especially Southern Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine) are more "negative views"[clarification needed] on the Russian language[13][14] and on Joseph Stalin[15] and more "positive views"[clarification needed] on Ukrainian nationalism.[16] Calculating the yes-votes as a percentage of the total electorate reveals that a higher percentage of all (possible) voters in Western Ukraine supported Ukrainian independence in the 1991 Ukrainian independence referendum than in the rest of the country.[17][18]
Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) geographic division of Ukraine used in their polls.
In a poll conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in the first half of February 2014 0.7% of polled in West Ukraine believed "Ukraine and Russia must unite into a single state", nationwide this percentage was 12.5.[19]
During elections voters of Western oblasts (provinces) vote mostly for parties (Our Ukraine, Batkivshchyna)[20] and presidential candidates (Viktor Yuschenko, Yulia Tymoshenko) with a pro-Western and state reform platform.[21][22][23] Of the regions of Western Ukraine, Galicia tends to be the most pro-Western and pro-nationalist area. Volhynia's politics are similar, though not as nationalist or as pro-Western as Galicia's. Bukovina-Chernvisti's electoral politics are more mixed and tempered by the region's significant Romanian minority. Finally, Zakarpattia's electoral politics tend to more competitive, similar to a Central Ukrainian oblast. This is due to the region's distinct historical and cultural identity as well as the significant Hungarian and Romanian minorities. The United Centre party led by Mukacheve native Viktor Baloha fares well in Zakarpattia at Ukraine's regional elections.
Religion in western Ukraine (2016)[24]
Eastern Orthodoxy (57.0%)
Greek Catholicism (30.9%)
Simply Christianity (4.3%)
Protestantism (3.9%)
Roman Catholicism (1.6%)
Judaism (0.2%)
Non believers (2.1%)
According to a 2016 survey of religion in Ukraine held by the Razumkov Center, approximately 93% of the population of western Ukraine declared to be believers, while 0.9% declared to non-believers, and 0.2% declared to atheists.
Of the total population, 97.7% declared to be Christians (57.0% Eastern Orthodox, 30.9% members of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, 4.3% simply Christians, 3.9% members of various Protestant churches, and 1.6% Latin Rite Catholics), by far more than in all other regions of Ukraine, while 0.2% were Jews. Non-believers and other believers not identifying with any of the listed major religious institutions constituted about 2.1% of the population.[24]

5 Great Ways To Deal With Judgments
by Loud Life - August 17, 2015
It's pretty normal to meet toxic people through your life, just know that it isn't about you, it's about them, it's about their insecurities, because everyone would show what is inside of him, haters would show hate, and mature people would show maturity!
Although I wanted to be kind, to help people, and to never do harm, that wasn't enough for them, they were judging me, and they're going to judge no matter what you're going to do, so decide what you truly want, Do you want to spend the rest of your life pleasing people or doing what you love?! well below are some simple ways to help you deal with judgments:
1- Don't respond:
In fact we can't control people's reaction, the only thing that you can control is your own and the best reaction here is to not make any! You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.
People aren't against you, they are for themselves. People don't want you to be better than them, and that's why they'll keep judging you. You don't have to comment, don't respond to their rudeness, that would shut them down, because they only keep judging when you show that you're interested in what they're saying, but when you ignore them, they won't be able to criticize any further.
2- Self-compassion:
We often tend to defend ourselves once we feel like we're about to get hurt, this desire is fake, yet it affects us a lot. This desire, you can replace it with self-compassion, consider your worth and your value and that you don't need anyone's approval, you don't need to be liked by all of them. Live your life on your own expectations, don't make pleasing people a priority.
Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.
Sometimes you don't really need to get into every single fight, sometimes it's better to choose peace, when you know your worth, there is no necessity to prove it because you don't need others' approval and no one can make you doubt yourself.
3- Don't take judgement too seriously:
Sometimes you don't need to defend yourself, sometimes you don't have to prove anything to anyone, but when you try to defend yourself each time, you'll become more and more irritated about it, instead ignore them. Sometimes we can't just avoid people that are judging us, because they're our family or other people that we have to deal with, and it's okay, if you can't avoid them, then just let go of their judgments.
4- Never look back and never blame anyone:
Sometimes we think that when we blame people they will change and they won't do it again, actually we can't decide for them to change or not, if they're going to change then they'll do it by themselves not because we wanted them to or we told them to, and it's about not expecting anything from anyone, not even to be well treated because it has never been about you rather it's about them, about their character.
5- Change something:
When judgment excess, you should know that there's something that needs to be changed, not necessary you, but maybe the way you're treating people. being judged is an opportunity to change ,because with being comfortable with the way you are, you won't feel like there's something wrong about you that needs to be changed, but first you need to know that you have a part that is changeable and another one that is unchangeable, don't let others confuse you between these two parts, the unchangeable is your individuality, what makes you unique, different and it's what your value is all about, your dreams, the way you look, your thoughts and beliefs... These no one should make you change it, if you ever wanted to change then make sure that it would be by nobody influence. But what's changeable, is the way you treat people, the way you talk to them,
For both cases, never change for the way people want you to do! never make a change to please people!
It's ok to be judged, because it's not always true, you know yourself better than anyone else, so just ask yourself it was true about you, if it is not, don't push yourself to believe it! just let it go. Remember that their opinion, is not your reality.
What hurts the most is being disappointed by your most loved ones, the ones that promised to be always by your side, but sometimes it isn't about you, it's about them, they may have some circumstances and you need to excuse them and to try to understand them, you can't blame anyone for your disappointment but yourself, because you're the one who shouldn't expect anything from anyone at the first place.
Listen, smile, agree. and then do whatever you were going to do anyway.
I've been doubted, judged and criticized a lot, especially by my very loved ones, they would push me to be the way they want me to be, they would push me to give up on who I am and on what I believe in, but in the end no one really knows you as much as you do, and no one should make you doubting yourself, you're capable even if no one did believe in you, you're strong enough even if no one is standing by you! There are many successful people out there, who didn't find anyone to believe in them, they've been doubted, called crazy, rejected, criticized and judged, yet they never gave up on what they believed in, that's why they made it, and so you can!
Don't let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be.
People will keep judging you unless, you do nothing, say nothing and be nothing, so be cool with that, instead you should worry when people aren't judging you because that means that you've been like the majority of them!
So take it lightly, very lightly, there is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally, anyway they don't know what your journey is all about and everything is better when you decide that you don't care.
