Lower taxes increase productivity... provably false. Higher taxes on corporations and the very rich increase public investment, regulate and diminish the transfer of wealth from poor to rich and the transfer of private debt to public debt, all of which would help to remedy the economic devastation we are currently experiencing.
Public expenditures on necessities such as public housing, retirement security, extended unemployment benefits, and health care (what right wingers like to call 'entitlements') kill jobs and reduce entrepreneurship and overall wealth. The exact opposite is provably true. Public expenditures on necessities increase demand, and result in the highest return on the dollar... about $1.61:1 in improved economic activity and hiring of any public spending. David Cay Johnston, the foremost expert on taxation and public expenditure in the country, calculated that if we adopted single payer health care and regulated medical pricing like they have in most other civilized countries, that alone would result in the complete erasure of the national debt in just over 8 years.
Markets regulate themselves. ... provably false; unregulated gambling, overleveraging, financial guarantees without either reserves or insurable interest; all formerly illegal, were rampant starting under Reagan and accelerating to a crescendo of fraud and excessive speculation under Bush II, causing the financial meltdown.
Globalization increases economic activity and is therefore good for the economy. Even Harvard economists who are the greatest boosters of globalization admit that when all factors are included in the modeling, over 20 years, globalization, which undeniably makes American workers compete in a race to the bottom for low wage jobs and is resulting in the gradual destruction of the middle class in this country, would result in a 1/10 of 1% (1/1000) increase in the overall size of the economy. This is just nuts. We're paying in huge social costs for minimal growth, all of which contributes to the massive transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich which has been the dominant trend for the past 35 years.
So, instead of buying into this kind of claptrap about how people should leave the U.S. (and go live where they can't receive Medicare? Where the dollar has less purchasing power when traded against the Euro or other currencies than it does here?), we should unite and throw off the economic and political regime of the Rightists in this country, face facts, accept that we have a lot of work and some sacrifice to go through to restore reasonable economic stability and fairness, and commit ourselves to rebuilding our own country, not think in terms of abandoning her.
Who is it who parks their money offshore and owns lovely estates all over the world? The uberrich, that's who, and my friend, these people are the enemy.


The Renaissance Community Co-op is the first of its kind in the nation, opened after 20 years of failed attempts to woo chains to the neighborhood.
King also equated a rise in food stamps to a rise in obesity.
As attorney general, Sessions will have a huge platform upon which to influence the federal food stamp program, officially known as SNAP.
Restaurant servers use food stamps at twice the rate of the general workforce, and the restaurant industry vividly captures the worst aspects of our economy: being surrounded by food but not being able to afford to eat.
Just like eating alone, enjoying a drink alone is one of life's private luxuries. But why do we still, in the 21st century, have a problem with women doing it?

John Carmichael's Piano Quartet "Sea Changes" was composed in 2000. According to the composer, the title of the work refers to both the waters surrounding Australia, where he was born, and the United Kingdom, where he now resides.

Structure

Composed for a standard piano quartet, the work is in three movements:

 Allegro energico
 Lento ma non troppo
 Allegro

A typical performance takes around 18 to 19 minutes.

Performance history

The first performance of the quartet was in 2000 in London, where the pianist was Anthony Gray and string trio was made up of Belinda MacFarlane, Morgan Goff and Matthew Lee.

On 27 May 2001 the Quartet was performed at the Perth Concert Hall by the Australian Piano Quartet. Later a live recording of this performance, which also featured Brahms' Piano Quartet in G minor, was released by the City of Perth.

Open season: Where apartment dwellers can find bargains year-round
By Virginia K. Smith | January 13, 2015 - 9:59AM
There's no better time than January to start strategizing on saving cash throughout the year—especially if your bank account is still smarting from holiday tipping season. (If that's the case, there's also no better time than January to ask your doorman or super for a few extra favors.) Mercifully, real estate in New York is all about seasonality, and if you time things right, you can land serious discounts on goods and services that command premium prices during the rest of the year, from renovations to home decor to your apartment itself.
Below, seven ways you can save by going seasonal:
1. Signing a lease. It's no secret that New York rents spike in the summer, then cool off along with the weather. "The same thing happens pretty much every year," says Jay Heydt, Senior Managing Director of the Citi Habitats Gramercy office. "Depending on the apartment or neighborhood, you can see rent reductions of 10 to 15 percent, sometimes even as high as 20 percent" starting in the fall.
But you should look for more than just a break on rent. When there's less demand—usually between late September and February, says Heydt—some landlords are willing to pay "most if not all of the broker's fee," or offer concessions like a month or two in free rent. (Read up on how to find them.) If you're on the hunt for this kind of deal, says Heydt, look in areas where there might be a long, cold walk to the train affecting demand—think Yorkville, Midtown East, and oh-so-windblown Battery Park City, and farther flung sections of Brooklyn and Queens. You're most likely to find a gratis month or two in pricey buildings where the landlords don't want to lower the monthly rent, but are still looking to lure in tenants. And regardless of where you're looking, it never hurts to just ask if any of these things are negotiable.
2. Moving. With fewer people finding new apartments in the cold months, movers are likely willing to negotiate on their fees, too. However, while the dead of winter will always be your cheapest option, this is one industry where there's a certain degree of flexibility year round—the key is moving during a time of the month when moving companies are less in demand, which can save up to 10 to 20 percent, says Keith Snode, vice president of sales and marketing for FlatRate Moving. "I always tell my friends that the middle of the week and the middle of the month are great," he says. "Anything after the 26th, and things start to get busy." Even if you do have to move on a weekend, says Snode, opt for a Sunday—most people prefer to move earlier in the weekend, so they'll have time to unpack.
"I would encourage people when they call movers to have alternative days in mind, or just ask, 'are there other days I could move that would save me money,'" notes Snode. Another way to approach savings is to roll in extra services, such as packing and unpacking. "I've had several times where I've said 'for only $50 more, we could fully pack you if you just moved three days earlier,'" he says. "This year, we had someone who moved on New Year's Day. It was probably our lowest pricing of any possible time." If the movers don't have anywhere else to be, they're likely to add in the extras for far less than they'd usually cost.
One more fee you might avoid this time of year? The move-in and move-out charges that usually come along with renting in a co-op or condo building. While the building itself is unlikely to offer a discount, says Heydt, the apartment owner may foot the bill. The winter "is always a great time to negotiate with a condo or co-op owner to see if they'll absorb some or all of the costs, other than the application fee." Just like landlords, any owner renting out their unit in the slow season is likely willing to spend a little extra cash in exchange for locking down a renter—and a steady stream of rent checks.
3. Working out. Urban legend has it that most gyms offer deals in November and December, only to hike prices in January when most people are atoning for excess Champagne and Christmas cookies. (And I did find myself flooded with coupons for ClassPass and Crunch during the holidays, only to have things quiet down come 2015.) But there's still hope for the new year's resolution crowd: "Bigger gyms like Equinox and New York Sports Club tend to do introductory offers that save you the sign-up fee in January," says Brooke Stone, founder and CEO of GYST, a company that provides personal assistants by the hour. Indeed, Crunch and Equinox both have heavy discounts on enrollment fees right now, and David Barton is offering free enrollment until the end of January, to name just a few examples.
And if you live in a family-oriented neighborhood, keep an eye out during back-to-school season. "September almost feels like a second new year in New York because all the kids are going back to school; it's a renewal moment," says Stone. "With some gyms, there are discounts around this time—the idea is that the kids are back in school, and you have time to work out again."
4. Storing your stuff. Another win for the winter move: though prices always vary, storage units are costliest in the summer—when students flee the city and need a place to stash their stuff—and fall and winter see prices come back down to earth. But when it comes to storage, your best bet is to plan ahead: companies like Manhattan Mini Storage, a BrickUnderground sponsor, will often offer a discount of up to 20 percent if you commit to keeping your storage unit for four months or more. The longer your lock down the space, the better the deal.
5. Parking. When the streets are covered in snow and ice—and alternate-side parking becomes a huge hassle—indoor parking is all of a sudden much more in demand. Rather than spring for an expensive pass or a year-round space, cruising sites like Groupon and Gilt City for discounts at NYC garages, Stone recommends. "There are almost always deals," she says, so "if you know you're going to have to park your car for a series of months, start stockpiling them, as long as you're mindful of the restrictions." Currently, there are deals on Groupon for 24-hour or monthly parking in Icon garages, which have locations all over Manhattan.
If you live in a building with a garage and need a spot for yourself or out-of-town guests next time the holidays roll around (or during the summer) , post on the internal message board (whether electronic or in the hallway) to ask if anyone is heading out of town, and interested in renting out their spot to you, Stone suggests. "That way you can get a spot in the building when you need one without paying an annual fee," she says.
6. Renovating—within reason. As any New Yorker who's suffered through a muggy July full of scaffolding and jackhammer noise can tell you, summer is construction season. As such, "painters, renovations, any of these types of services are likely more negotiable in the winter," says Kathy Braddock, the managing director of William Raveis' New York City office. While she warns that full-scale overhauls do need to happen during the warmer months, fall and winter are the perfect time for touch-ups like a paint job or a cabinet replacement.
"Don't try to hire a contractor or painter during the summer," concurs Stone. "They'll be all booked up working on big jobs for people who are away in the Hamptons." If you're planning on doing any work in your apartment, schedule the project for the off-season—when contractors are hungrier for jobs. And if your place needs work that absolutely has to happen in good weather—upgrades to balconies and backyards, for instance—postpone the job until after Labor Day, "when the weather is still good but a contractor's time won't be so in-demand," says Stone.
7. Decorating. On the hunt for home decor, the big sale seasons in September and January can be key. Buy next year's summer furniture during the post-Labor Day rush, says Stone, "and do your research during the holidays for what you want" so you can be ready when the new year's sales start roll in. She recommends setting up Google alerts for coveted pieces so you know when they see a big price cut. "For instance, I was dying for this hunter green desk from West Elm, and I had a Google alert that I had all but forgotten about," she tells us. "All of a sudden, it flashed up 18 months later—they were discontinuing the color, and I was able to get it at a fraction of the price. If you can be patient and you know exactly what you want," she says, you can find savings that are well worth the wait.

Telstra's T-Suite: First look
Telstra's T-Suite shows great promise. But users would be wise to note that there are still many bugs the telco and its partners are yet to iron out.
By Brett Winterford | November 28, 2008 -- 01:25 GMT (17:25 PST) | Topic: Telcos
first look We recently had a chance to test out Telstra's software-as-a-service T-Suite package, which launched in beta mode in early November with hosted versions of Microsoft's Outlook/Exchange, Dynamics and Sharepoint, McAfee's desktop security, MessageLabs' network security products and Telstra's own PC and server back-up products.

Also, see our complete T-Suite screenshot gallery here.
ZDNet.com.au's first impression of the service is that it shows great promise. But users would be wise to note that there are still many bugs Telstra is yet to iron out — hence its 'soft launch' in November and full-scale release scheduled for March 2009.
Upon logging in the first time, users face some notable lag — not exactly the ideal introduction to cloud computing. But this, thankfully, is only a one-off — log-ins from then on prove far smoother.
Telstra Business market development manager Tim Otten says the applications will always be a little slow the first time they load, attributable to the "handshake" occurring between the Telstra provisioning system and the third-party application provider the carrier is providing access to.
"That first log-in needs to establish your credentials," he says. "There is also potentially some caching of graphics and menu options. It's always going to be faster the next time you log-in."
Post that first log-in, the applications run quite smoothly and on a decent connection you might forget you are working from a browser at all.
Among T-Suite's strongest points are that a lot of great quick-start guides and resources are included with the subscription to help users get the most out of the programs. And Telstra says this is only a small fraction of a wider library of resources it intends to make available once out of beta.
On the security front, messaging can be encrypted via a download of S/MIME control onto whatever device is being used to access the web-based application.
All of the programs come with a rich set of functions. The Outlook experience, for example, can be shared to your mobile device and its settings controlled from the browser. Mobile devices can be added and removed from the account, logged and wiped should they be lost or stolen.
Integration is another matter. The value proposition of renting these applications from the cloud, according to Otten, is that organisations won't have to "get systems integrators in to have these apps work with each other."
But integration between the three hosted Microsoft applications currently in beta is far from ideal. Sharing contacts, for example, between Outlook and Microsoft Dynamics still involves the manual copying and importing of CSV files. Errors that can occasionally result from this process are the subject of a Microsoft patch, and will be fixed in the next version of Dynamics.
Among T-Suite's strongest points are that a lot of great quick start guides and resources are included with the subscription to help users get the most out of the programs.
These glitches are an issue for Microsoft rather than Telstra. Otten expects a resolution when Telstra launches the fully-fledged Microsoft Online Services suite (already available in the United States) via T-Suite next year.
The other major dilemma for users is browser compatibility. While Outlook and Sharepoint work in Firefox 3, for example, Dynamics CRM requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or later, running on a computer with Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Firefox users might be interested in a workaround to this problem available via Mozdev.
Internet Explorer users, meanwhile, would be recommended to allow pop-ups on their browser, or you may find yourself scratching your head wondering why certain features won't open when you click them.
And while some functions may work on Safari, Telstra is yet to offer support to Safari users.
"Support for Safari is on the roadmap for early next year but I don't have a specific date yet," says Otten. "Our experience is that it works well the vast majority of the time, we just haven't had it certified yet and don't run QA due to the time involved for a fairly limited business penetration. We recognise Mac use is growing on the notebook side and are currently trying to push this forward."
Overall the applications run smoothly and there is great promise for Telstra once its library of applications broadens and integration between applications is tighter.
"The idea is to get this right for the March launch," Otten says.

Our members come from a broad spectrum of age and profession, and is equally popular with females and males. They come to us for a variety of reasons; in the first instance, perhaps a gardening project, perhaps, even fulfilling a longstanding curiosity to do some dry stone walling. We have even had family members turning up on a course as a gift from a son or daughter ! People from all walks of life have successfully learned to build in dry stone.
What sort of fitness is required ? It would be wrong to say there is no physical effort involved in bending and stretching and lifting stones into position. However there is an unwritten code within walling that no one lifts a stone that is beyond his or her capability; they always ask for help. This means a total absence of the "macho element" sometimes found in physical pursuit. It also means that individual effort becomes more collective in the completion of a project. In other words everyone helps one other, indeed it has been often remarked that our branch is a very friendly and open group to join and work with.
There are no special props or equipment needed. Simply turn up in a pair of stout boots, preferably with protective toe caps, a pair of gardening gloves and clothing commensurate with our Scottish weather and you are ready to go. The basic tool kit consists of a walling hammer and one or two chisels.
There is a craftsman scheme in which individuals can pass up a ladder of qualifications through a testing process and gain a certificated level of expertise. However, others simply prefer to enjoy the outdoor activity and become proficient wallers without entering such a scheme. If one looks at the old days, when no formal qualification structure was in place, there were very fine wallers who confirmed the old adage that practice makes perfect.
Dry stone walls are a natural habitat for flora, fauna and wildlife and have been a part of our historical heritage for more that 200 years. Properly built and maintained a dry stone wall will last this length of time, so if you would like to touch a bit of history and involve yourself in the heritage of the country you are welcome to come on one of our courses and join us, if the bug bites.

Enemy Of All Mankind
"Most confrontations, viewed from the wide angle of history, are minor disputes, sparks that quickly die out. But every now and then, someone strikes a match that lights up the whole planet."
Steven Johnson is the bestselling author of twelve books, including Where Good Ideas Come From, Farsighted, and The Ghost Map. He's the host and co-creator of the Emmy-winning PBS/BBC series How We Got to Now, and the host of the podcast American Innovations. He lives in Brooklyn and Marin County, California, with his wife and three sons.
"A kaleidoscopic rumination on the ways in which a single event, and the actions of a handful of men with no obvious access to the levers of state power, can change the course of history. . . . Steven Johnson treats us to fascinating digressions on the origins of terrorism, celebrity and the tabloid media; the tricky physics of cannon manufacture; and the miserable living conditions of the average seventeenth-century seaman." --The New York Times Book Review "Steven Johnson argues with verve and conviction in his thoroughly engrossing Enemy of All Mankind ... Because Enemy of All Mankind offers, among its many pleasures, a solid mystery story, it would be wrong to reveal the outcome. But it's surprising. So, too, are the many larger themes that Mr. Johnson persuasively draws from his seaborne marauders...All the author's more surprising suppositions are not merely stapled onto the narrative but seem to have grown there effortlessly during the course of a spirited, suspenseful, economically told tale whose significance is manifest and whose pace never flags." --The Wall Street Journal
"... [a] page-turner of a book ... we can thank Johnson for combing the archives, describing in vivid detail the life of pirates that we thought we knew--most likely through motion pictures--when in truth we didn't ... Enemy of all Mankind covers lots of territory, including the beginnings of the British Empire, and it's a good read, made all the better by Johnson's clever storytelling and an unforgettable pirate named Henry Every." --The Washington Post "It is the perfect book to cozy up to during a pandemic. . . . In addition to providing captivating 'yo ho ho and a bottle of rum' action, the author examines the geopolitical and cultural implications of Every's spasm of violence. His subject changed the very nature and geography of piracy in the eighteenth century." --USA Today "Enough adventures to fill a Netflix series . . . [Johnson] skillfully makes sweeping historical points from bloody swashbuckling details." --Star Tribune "... entertaining and erudite ... Johnson's lucid prose and sophisticated analysis brings these events to vibrant life. This thoroughly enjoyable history reveals how a single act can reverberate across centuries." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Johnson is one of those polymath writers who links events and subjects most of us wouldn't see as related, always to enlightening effect ... intriguing...relevant to our own world. Johnson doesn't just write about the heyday of piracy; he connects it to the growth of nation-states, the history of the first multinational corporation, the origins of democracy and the birth of the tabloid media, among other things ... an amazing story, but the real one Johnson tells in Enemy of All Mankind is even more so." --The Tampa Bay Times "Johnson weaves a tapestry of treasure, tribunals, emperors, atrocities, and a pirate's life at sea ... Consummate popular history: fast-paced, intelligent, and entertaining." --Library Journal

Soubry calling anyone delusional is laughable. She is a paranoid alcoholic.
You do seem to have this fixation that anyone who disagrees with you is an alcoholic, the mentally ill bit about her paranoia, that's new?
Does this mean that she hasn't been threatened with deselection, harassed or abused?
I think you have him or more likely yourself mixed up.
Nothing wrong with you liking Ms. Soubry (I'm not on first-name terms with her).
However, she says she left the Conservatives because it was taken over by what she describes as the 'far right', in other words, the ERG. The ERG are not 'far right'. They are a group that is committed to leaving the EU, which is no more a 'far right' policy than is supporting Liverpool over Manchester United.
The BBC mentioned a few days ago that more in the Conservative Party support a 'no deal' exit than oppose it. That means that the party as a whole disagrees with Soubry's strong 'Remain' stance, which seems to have morphed into a 'try to make a deal at all costs' for most Remainers now that Article 50 and the referendum have made leaving almost inevitable.
Soubry is right to leave the party if she thinks that they do not reflect her views, but we are talking about a single issue here. If she thinks many other Conservative stances have shifted since she joined then so be it, but she appears to only object to the Deal or No Deal scenario (without Noel Edmunds). Rather than coming over as a someone who sees her views no longer reflected by the party, as the Labour defectors do, rather Soubry comes across as angry that her view on leaving the EU is not the dominant one. She says that she feels marginalised, and that is not surprising given that she is in a minority on this issue.
More comedy gold from the Skidmeister!

It's the wrong sort of democracy. Surely some people's views must be more valid than others!
A complete and utter hypocrite. They are all going to get annihilated at the next General Election.
May is neither strong nor intelligent.
I can't disagree! I may have made myself unclear she was pro EU once upon a time!
Owen Jones has them all chorusing "wasist" over Austin's past anti-mass immigration stances.
Between him and Frank Field that's 2 Indy Liberals and 8 Blairites gone. Probably more to come.
Soubry left because as far as she's concerned, the only opinion that counts is hers and no-one in authority in the Conservative Party appears to agree with her. For her and the Conservative Party, better out than in.
corbyn always goes for the underdog may be he will join the group, perhaps a leader?

Q: How to draw CvConnectedComp in OpenFrameworks OpenCv's cvCamShift outputs a CvConnectedComp object which contains a contour property. I assume this is the contour represents the outline of my tracked object.
How do I draw this contour on the screen in OpenFrameworks?

A: I advice you to use the handy and nice add ons ofxCv. This add ons easily get you all the function to convert opencv data structures into open frameworks ones and viceversa.
There are various example that show how to deal with contours, and with this add ons you can use the opencv C++ API, that are the new standard to deal with OpenCV.

Every month I share what books I finished last month and what I'm reading now. I also love to hear what others are reading. Share your own book recommendations in the comments or friend me on Goodreads!
Truth Speaks to Power by Walter Brueggemann. Yes, I did read my church's book club book in time for the May meeting. He looks at several Old Testament narratives, including the stories of Moses and Pharaoh, Solomon, and Elisha, to show how traditional power structures are subverted in the texts. This book generated a good discussion at out meeting.
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. This was a re-read for me, but I listened to it in audiobook format this time. It has become a kind of comfort-read for me to nurture my creativity.
Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. After recently reading his second novel, Universal Harvester, which I loved, I decided to seek out and read his first novel about a troubled young man who makes his living as the creator of a mail-order role-playing game. It is every bit as strange and fascinating and original as Harvester.
The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. I bought this book on a whim after coming across it in a bookshop while on vacation over Memorial Day weekend. I started reading it almost immediately and could not put it down. This is the kind of book you want to stay up all night to finish. It is weird and violent, but wildly original.
Reading in Bed by Brian Doyle. My husband got me this for Christmas, and I finally read it. It is a wonderful collection of essays about the joys of reading and writing. This is the kind of book that makes you want to add another 20 books to the to-read pile.
Not in God's Name: Confronting Religious Violence by Jonathan Sacks. The final book club read before we break for the summer. It's a thought-provoking book (so far).
The Dinner Party and Other Stories by Joshua Ferris. A collection of short stories from the author of Then We Came to the End.
That's what I've been reading this past month. How about you?

Meals at Rawsome are as delicious as they are pretty!
Elyn's drive stems from her desire to help people, especially women, change their lifestyles which is why the Rawsome HQ located at T6 Sungai Buloh, includes a spacious yoga studio on the upper level. Classes are priced between RM10-RM20 only in the hopes that it would encourage people to pursue yoga. Rawsome has a second outlet in MyTOWN Shopping Centre with a third one coming in May. With so much going on, Elyn still manages to stick true to her principles and that deserves R-E-S-P-E-C-T! We chat a little with her to find out more about her journey with Rawsome.
1. Tell us a little bit about your personal path to building Rawsome.
I have sweet tooth and my family has a history of diabetes. As I grew older, I noticed that my sugar level was always borderline despite me working out regularly. It then hit me that what we put into our bodies is really crucial so I started changing my diet and habits. When I saw the change in me, I thought, "Hey, I need to let the world know," and that's how Rawsome came to be.
2. What are the challenges you faced starting Rawsome?
So many. Competition especially but also because we started from zero with no background, no experience, no help, we really had to go all the way to get our brand out there – joining every bazaar, event and also sponsoring everything related to health, wellness and active lifestyles. We did that for 2 years non-stop .
3. How do you take care of yourself every day so that you stay balanced and centered?
I try to eat right and also maintain an active lifestyle. I work out almost every day which keeps me sane with this current hectic schedule that I have.
4. What specific advice would you have for young women who would like to become an entrepreneur?
Never quit your day job because there are no guarantees. Do it as a passion until you really know the business in and out.
5. Are there specific advantages, disadvantages to being a women business owner?
I don't think there are any disadvantages. I only see advantages; confidence and competition.
Spacious studio at Rawsome HQ where aerial. vinyasa & hatha yoga classes are conducted.

Garbage removal vs dumpster rental in Winston - Which is right for you?
For those who own a job you're about to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your waste and junk for you, or in the event you should only rent a dumpster in Winston and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option in the event you would like the flexibility to load it on your own time and you also do not mind doing it yourself to save on work. Dumpsters also work well in case you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll-offs generally begin at 10 cubic yards, so should you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for a lot more dumpster than you need.
Garbage or junk removal makes more sense should you would like someone else to load your old stuff. Additionally, it functions well should you would like it to be taken away immediately so it's out of your hair, or in case you simply have a few large things; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
You can fill your dumpster as full as you like, so long as you really do not load it higher in relation to the sides of the container. Over filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or overweight dumpsters are not really safe, and businesses don't carry unsafe loads to be able to protect motorists and passengers on the road.
In some places, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. In case your load is too high, it will not be able to be tarped so you would have to remove some of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may result in additional costs if it needs you to keep the dumpster for a longer amount of time. Don't forget to maintain your load no higher in relation to the sides of the dumpster, and you will be good.
Most dumpster rental businesses in Winston have clear-cut policies that will help you understand exactly how much it costs to rent equipment. Following this advice can help you avoid hidden fees when renting a dumpster in Winston.
Many businesses will charge you extra for keeping the dumpster longer than concurred. Make sure you plan ahead so you can keep the dumpster for an appropriate period of time. You ought to also ask about additional fees so that you will learn how much extra days cost.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Winston?
Residential clean outs generally do not need large dumpsters. The size that you require, however, will depend on the size of the undertaking.
In case you plan to clean out the whole house, then you most likely need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You could also use this size for a large cellar or loft clean out.
Whenever choosing a dumpster, though, it's frequently wise to ask for a size larger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it's difficult to estimate the precise size required for your job. By getting a somewhat larger size, you spend a little more money, however you also prevent the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Most businesses make it simple for you to book your dumpster appointment. Before you contact rental businesses to schedule a drop off or pick up, however, you can take some steps that make the procedure even easier.
2. Give you and also the rental business a lot of time. It is best to phone ahead at least a week or two before you need the dumpster. Should you attempt to schedule an appointment earlier than that, you could have a restricted collection.
3. Keep in touch with the rental business. If anything changes in your schedule, contact the firm as soon as possible to permit them to know. This way you can fix the appointment as needed without restricting your choices.
Most dumpster rental companies in Winston normally rent containers for a regular speed for 7 days, although most one time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you call to allow the container, chat with the customer support representative about the period of time you think you'll need.
In case it turns out that your project takes longer than you expected, merely telephone the dumpster business to explain. Most companies will bill you on a per-day basis following your first seven days. It is vital that you convey this added need when you know you've it since most dumpster firms have a restricted number of bins that could already be allowed. Most companies will work together with you to accommodate your additional rental time. Should you think you'll need the dumpster for an additional week or more, be sure to mention that; rates may change based on a longer time frame.
Most residential areas allow roll off dumpsters. When you own a drive, then you could usually park the dumpster there so you do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it on the street.
Some projects, however, will require setting the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you personally, then you definitely need to talk to your city to learn whether you need to get any permits before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential street for a short quantity of time. If you think you'll need to keep it on the street for several weeks or months, however, you might need to get a permit.

IV therapy with vitamins and nutrients has been available for many years. IV therapy began in the 1980s with the introduction of the Myers' Cocktail. The Myers' Cocktail is named for the late John Myers, M.D., who used intravenous injections to treat many chronic conditions. The Myers' Cocktail is a specific combination of nutrients including Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, and B-Complex vitamins. These nutrients are administered as an IV drip. IV administration of nutrients through an IV drip can achieve higher concentrations in the blood than through oral supplementation. It is well known that oral supplementation yields approximately 20% absorption; whereas intravenous therapy allows for 80-90% absorption. IV administration is also appropriate where digestive health is compromised and the absorption of orally administered nutrients may be poor.
Almost anyone can benefit from this therapy. This includes those who are wanting to boost overall health with an increase in mood and energy. It is also helpful for those who have a higher need for these nutrients such as athletes, students, or individuals with high levels of acute or chronic stress, and with lower immune function. Improvement has been documented after the infusion of the Myers Cocktail in situations where people suffer the following conditions -Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain, Acute Muscle Spasm, Asthma, Migraine and Tension Headaches, Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Chronic Sinusitis, Seasonal Allergies, Depression, Anxiety, and the Effects of Acute and Chronic Stress, or Hormonal Imbalances.

Warzone & Modern Warfare Season 4 release date leaked
Published: 6/Jun/2020 10:19
by Joe Craven
Modern Warfare Warzone
A new release date for Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4 has been revealed by data-miners, following its original delay announced back on June 2.
Alongside the delay given to Season 4, Call of Duty announced a host of in-game measures taken to combat racism and hateful conduct, as well as postponing the CDL Minnesota event.
While the latter was pushed back a week, no new release date has been officially announced for Season 4. However, on June 5, Call of Duty leaker 'TheMW2Ghost' revealed a prospective new release date, based on data-mined in-game files.
Season Four was set to begin on June 3.
New Modern Warfare Season 4 release date
The leaker, who has in the past shared information on Calling Cards coming to Call of Duty games, stated that a Modern Warfare file indicates that Season 4 will be released on Wednesday, June 10 at 06:00 UTC. That would be 23:00 PST on Tuesday, June 9, a week after the season's original launch was scheduled to take place.
Season 4 of #ModernWarfare may be coming next Wednesday, at 6am UTC — as discovered in a datamined file which I have posted in the discord if you want to see. https://t.co/dknvhEDMvb
— MW2 OG (@TheMW2Ghost) June 6, 2020
The discord link attached shows the data-mined file, which allegedly shows that Season 4 is going to be released on June 9.
To compound these rumors, reputable Call of Duty data-miner ModernWarzone stated that they can give "99% verifiable confirmation" that Season 4 will be available at the normal update time of 23:00 PST on Tuesday, June 9.
Read More: Call of Duty pros livid about changes discovered in silent update
"This information is directly from the files," they said, "and has been verified through multiple sources." Note that, depending on your location in the world, the update will likely not go live until the morning of Wednesday, June 10.
We can now give 99% verifiable confirmation that #Season4 of #CallofDuty #ModernWarfare and #Warzone will be available at the normal Tuesday update time on June the 9th.
So 11 PM PST. This information is directly from the files, and has been verified through multiple sources. https://t.co/OPmTQSpfhO
— ModernWarzone (@ModernWarzone) June 6, 2020
The news has not yet been confirmed by Infinity Ward, so it's best to take these updates with a pinch of salt.
Given the current climate in the United States, there is a real possibility the update will be pushed back once again. However, barring any further delays, Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4 looks like it will launch one week after originally intended.
This will bring a plethora of new content to the game, including the Galil and the Fennec – a re-named, re-skinned version of the Vector SMG.

With the release of Black Ops Cold War's mid-season update, Treyarch has added Cranked into the game's Zombies mode – and it's pretty different from the standard version, requiring some completely separate strategies.
While Cranked in Call of Duty games is nothing new, having debuted all the way back in 2013's Ghosts, what is different is a Zombies version of the mode, which was just added to Black Ops Cold War during the game's midseason update.
The concept is simple: You're given a timer, and when that timer reaches 0, you explode and die. With each kill, however, your timer resets, giving you more time to keep on grinding. It's an incredibly fast-paced mode in normal multiplayer, and the Zombies version is even more hectic – but there are some tips you can utilize to help you survive longer.
Pace out your kills
Pacing out your kills in Cranked is important due to the fact that you only need one kill to reset your timer.
In standard Cranked, players are usually scrambling to get kills. In a 5v5 or 6v6, it makes sense, considering there's only a limited amount of potential targets, and if you can't find anyone, you'll die easily due to the timer running out.
With BOCW Zombies Cranked, the opposite is true. There's always an abundance of enemies and, while it's not impossible to run out of targets, generally speaking, they'll keep on spawning (there's not even a break in-between rounds).

Because of this, there's no need to be mowing down Zombies as one does in the normal mode. Instead, if you're feeling overwhelmed (or if you want to get something done like Pack-A-Punching your weapon), try running away from the enemies for a while to get your bearings.
Remember, all it takes is one kill to reset your timer. If you find it running out, just look behind you at the horde you've surely amounted, kill one Zombie, and then move along with your business. Wasting your time mowing down each and every zombie can cost you your game.
With all that being said, don't think you can run away from the Zombies with no problem; if you get too far away, you'll find yourself struggling for kills, so it's best if you stay nearby.
Use fast-reloading weapons and attachments
You'll want to use weapons that can be reloaded quickly in Cranked.
In normal Zombies, using a LMG is sort of required during late-game conflicts, as it allows you to mow down Zombies with greater power. In Cranked, speed is king, so it might be better to use something smaller like an SMG.
Reloading fast is essential in Cranked, as you can easily become overrun. Even though it does have a lot of power, you don't want to waste your time on the horrendously slow reload time found on LMGs. If you want an even faster reload time, you could even throw a fast-mag onto your SMG, and get it done even quicker.
In addition, SMGs have the added benefit of allowing you to run faster, meaning you'll be able to evade Zombies even better than you would before.
Always go for the Timer Freeze power up
Remembering these tips can be the difference between surviving or dying early on.
Treyarch has implemented a brand new power-up that's exclusive to the Cranked game mode: Timer Freeze. With this, players will be able to stop their countdown timer for around 15 seconds or so, giving them a breather.
While this might seem obvious to point out, you'll want to go for those as much as possible. Getting one at the start of your game is not too important, but it's especially critical when you get into the late game.

As the mode goes on, your timer will get shorter and shorter, meaning every break you get becomes more and more important. Having that 15 second breather seems like an eternity once you get it, so missing out on one can hurt you a lot – sometimes costing you your life.
While Cranked is incredibly fast-paced, it's really not that bad if you know what you're doing. If you remember these tips, you shouldn't have as much of a problem.

The Pickwick Papers
9:58 am 25 March 2014
The sequel to "The Knife of Letting Go" picks up straight where it left off – Todd and Viola have arrived at Haven...but they've been beaten there by the mayor of Prentisstown, who now calls himself President Prentiss of New Prentisstown.
Todd and Viola become separated, and spend the rest of the book in different camps – Viola in "The Answer" a group of terrorists / freedom fighters who want to overthrow Prentiss, and Todd, who is left with the mayor.
There are no easy answers or black and white mentality for either of them. Todd is faced with hard choices, and the President brainwashes him effectively into watching and performing acts of cruelty and torture against the indigenous population – a case study of Milgram's experiments (http://tinyurl.com/5tjxs) on dehumanising, and a chilling echo of genocide. Dehumanise a section of your population, see them as subhuman, and you can do anything to them. Stick yellow stars on them or brand them with an iron. Lock them in a prison camp and watch over them with rifles.
Similarly for Viola, whose opposing group of women are just as ruthless as the President. They have no qualms about blowing up barracks where soldiers sleep, or using bombs that only become live when you pick them up.
There are no heroes in this book. There are no winners. Todd and Viola do the best they can with the situation they find themselves in; like a real war, their hands come out covered in blood. How they deal with what they've gone through is what makes them the people they are.
Only three stars though, because once again Ness leaves the book on a complete cliff-hanger – it's becoming a habit for him. Luckily, I don't have to wait for the sequel. And Ness's genocide and not-black-and-white war sometimes gets lost on the way through the 500+ pages, meandering a little until it seems to find what sort of ending he's going for.

Colonial European Settlement Had Positive Effect on Income Today, Study Shows
Research Arts and Science Faculty
European settlement during the colonial era had a positive effect on today's per capita income, a study by William Easterly, a professor in NYU's Department of Economics, and Ross Levine, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business, has found.

Above is an image of a British flag that flew over its colonies during the 18th century. ©iStockPhoto.com/Alan Lagadu
"Having European settlers who came to a given country during colonial times had a remarkably strong positive effect on average per capita income we observe today," explained Easterly, who is co-director of NYU's Development Research Institute. "This effect occurred even when they were a small minority of the population and despite horrific exploitation—dispossession and oppression of the indigenous peoples in North and South America, slavery in Africa, and apartheid in southern Africa."
"This suggests that what they brought—in the form of scientific knowledge and other educational capital, technological knowledge, and institutions of private property, capitalist markets, and democracy—was in the long run more powerful than the negative effects of oppression."
The researchers were careful to note that their findings say nothing about Europeans as a group, but, rather, are better explained by the "growth-promoting characteristics" they brought to colonies: institutions, human capital, connections with international markets, and cultural values that support individual initiative.
"European share of the population during the early stages of colonization is more strongly associated with economic development today than the percentage of the population today that is of European descent," the researchers wrote. "This result de-emphasizes the importance of Europeans per se and instead emphasizes the impact of what Europeans brought to economies during colonization."
Their study examined the impact of the European population during the early stages of colonization by first taking into account the proportion of Europeans in a given country—a variable the researchers called "Euro share." It then examined the per capita income of these countries centuries later—specifically, their average of per capita income over a 10-year period, 1995 to 2005.
The effect remains controlling for other factors, except for educational attainment and the quality of a country's governing institutions today, which suggests that settlers' positive effects could have operated primarily through improving human capital and institutions.
The paper, "The European Origins of Economic Development," was issued in the National Bureau of Economic Research working papers series.

Glencoe, IL, population 8,990, is located in Illinois's Cook county, about 20.5 miles from Chicago and 31.4 miles from Naperville.
Through the 90's Glencoe's population has grown by about 3%. It is estimated that in the first 5 years of the past decade the population of Glencoe has grown by about 2%. Since 2005 Glencoe's population has grown by about 1%.


At its annual I/O developer conference, Google has demonstrated a raft of new AI-led features coming to both its 'OK, Google' virtual assistant and its Android mobile platform.
Google has been focusing a lot of its efforts on its artificial intelligence platform, Google Assistant, since its announcement in 2016.
The search giant hopes that its AI will eventually be embedded into devices outside of the obvious usage in smartphones. It is already making pushes into cars, IoT devices and its smart home platform Google Home, which has seen uptake by consumers over the last couple of years.
Google said it had improved the natural sound of the Assistant's voice and will also roll out six new voices later this year - including one provided by singer John Legend.
A major new function was also introduced in the form of Google Duplex, which will allow the Assistant to have natural conversations over the phone to book appointments for haircuts or restaurants, for example.
In a demo, which can be heard here, Duplex inserts pauses and pondering sounds to make it sound less robotic. The hairdresser on the other end of the call appeared to have no idea that she was speaking to an AI.
The new conversational abilities will also come to users who will be able to have a back-and-forth conversation without having to repeat the "Hey, Google" wake phrase before each command.
The latest update to Google's mobile operating system was demonstrated, which also has a focus on artificial intelligence abilities.
Android P brings Adaptive Battery features which prioritise battery power only for the apps and services used most.
It also uses machine learning to create Adaptive Brightness, learning how users like to set the brightness slider according to their surroundings.
There are also App Actions, which learn user habits and then predict which app a user is likely to turn to next - for example, raising a prompt to resume a Spotify playlist when a pair of headphones is plugged in.
In a nod to the raft of Android phones apeing Apple's latest smartphone - the button-free iPhone X - Google has baked some gesture interaction into Android P that will allow users to switch apps and go back to the home screen by interacting with a small slider bar at the bottom of the display.
It also includes a range of digital wellbeing tools, including a Dashboard to monitor how a user is spending time on their device and tweak habits as needed. It allows users to set app timers, for example to use with social media apps, if a person is concerned at the amount of time they are spending interacting with them, and will grey out the icon when that time has elapsed.
Do Not Disturb mode, which silences all calls and notifications, can now be enabled automatically by turning a phone face down and can also be activated by Wind Down, which will automatically switch the screen to greyscale to make the phone less appealing to users just before bed.
However, to promote broader viewpoints and publishers, the app will also have a 'Full Coverage' feature which will show how a single story is being reported across multiple sources.

• 11 percent of U.S.-produced peppermint is grown in Indiana.
• The four varieties of peppermint are Black Mitcham, the original selection from the wild, and three variations: Todd's Mitcham, Murray Mitcham and Robert's Mitcham.
• Mint is grown for the oils it produces in specialized glands on the leaves and stems. This oil is recovered by distilling the harvested plants using steam.
• About 23,000 acres of peppermint and 2,500 acres of spearmint are harvested in Indiana each year.
Hello, I love the article about mint. I have a mint that grows out in Lost River in Martin Co. For years in the fall there was this wonderful fresh aroma, could not figure out it's source. Then, one day, as we were clearing a hillside there it was!.. It is what they used to call cud weed. Farmers had it for the live stock to cure stomach ailments. It is an ancient mint I am sure. I try to save the seeds so I can have more, but they really do not do well.
There is a weed I found on the ivy that looks like orange noodles. I finally found out it is dodder weed.
I think it had an ancient source as well for I was digging up ground for a flowerbed that had not ever been cultivated, I think.
"My Indiana" is a pleasure to read, thank you for it.

After two missed games, gridders get back to work
Roosevelt quarterback Jalen Pitchford
Some positive Covid-19 tests blew a two-game hole into the already-shortened regular-season schedule for the Roosevelt football team, but the Bears and their coaches hope it hasn't blown a hole in the momentum they had built through the first three games.
The Bears opened the season with a huge 17-7 win over defending Downriver League champion Woodhaven. It was Woodhaven's first league loss in 15 games, dating back to 2018.
It was the defense that led the way that night and the defense continued to do the heavy lifting as the Bears then recorded back-to-back shutouts, bouncing Lincoln Park 38-0 and Taylor 20-0.
"I still don't think we've played our best game offensively," said coach Ron Adams, "but the defense has really done a great job. Against Taylor, the defense was awesome."
The Bears held the Griffins to minus-30 total yards. The defenders have also scored three times this year.
Linebacker Logan McGraw has been a defensive weapon for the Bears so far this season. "He is a stud," said Adams.
But his job has been made easier by a defensive line that has really gotten after people.
"Our line is not real big, but they can really move," Adams said. "They are quick and athletic and very disciplined. They clear the way for McGraw to go and make tackles."
Some of the other defensive players Adams singled out were Richard Clark, Lu Peterson and defensive back Camari Garrison
In the win over Woodhaven, the Bears had just 126 total yards, but they used them well. McGraw scored on a short run from his fullback position, Pat Schilk made a 33-yard field goal and the defense added another score.
In the rout of Lincoln Park, quarterback Jalen Pitchford passed for 151 yards and two scores and Pitchford and McGraw scored rushing touchdowns. Clark and Anthony Peterson were on the receiving end of Pitchford's TD passes. Schilk chipped in with a 28-year field goal and five PATS and the defense again added a score.
Against Taylor, Wyandotte's 20 points came on a seven-yard pass from Pitchford to Josh Hudson, a run by Pitchford and a scoop-and-score fumble recovery by Garrison.
The Covid cases cost the Bears games against Allen Park and Southgate and they got back into action against 4-1 Carlson on Oct. 24. The results of that game were not available by the paper's deadline.
The MHSAA state playoffs start on Oct. 30 with first-round distinct games. The Bears are in an eight-team district filled with unfamiliar faces. Grouped with Roosevelt are: Detroit Renaissance, Detroit U-D Jesuit, Ferndale, Grosse Pointe North, Grosse Pointe South, Lincoln Park and Oak Park.
