News about Long Island Power Authority, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
The offshore farm, with up to 15 turbines that can power 50,000 average homes over all, will be between the eastern tip of Long Island and Martha's Vineyard.
An investigation shows that the governor was largely responsible for the Long Island Power Authority's bumbling response to Hurricane Sandy.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's first Moreland Commission, which investigated electric companies' failures in the 2012 storm, omitted mention of his administration's shortcomings.
Despite assurances that the 70-foot poles will resist storms better and increase power transmission, many people are outraged.
A worker pulled down several power poles on Long Island after taking a boom truck from a transit center, the authorities said.
This year's session began in January with a burst of activity — the passage of strict new gun laws — but ended with more of a thud.
Under a proposal by lawmakers, the Long Island Power Authority, which was criticized after Hurricane Sandy, would no longer take over the power grid before an impending storm.
Saying New York utilities are poorly prepared for storms like Hurricane Sandy, consumer advocates want Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to create an independent office to fight for residents' interests.
A survey of utility customers, the first since Hurricane Sandy, shows that, as a group, businesses in the Northeast lost a lot of faith in their power providers last year.
Long Island's power grid should be turned over to a utility company overseen by the same state commission that regulates Consolidated Edison, the Moreland Commission recommended.
A state commission plans to conduct its own investigation into how utilities prepared for Hurricane Sandy and responded to the damage it caused.
Utility employees from outside the metropolitan area said National Grid had not fully compensated them for their grueling out-of-town shifts after Hurricane Sandy.
Sixty-nine percent of voters, and far more Democrats than Republicans, tied Hurricane Sandy to global climate change rather than describing it as an isolated episode.
Howard E. Steinberg's exit is the latest in an exodus from the Long Island Power Authority, which has faced harsh criticism for its response to Hurricane Sandy.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is right to call an investigation to determine why the state's utilities left so many people in the dark for so long after Hurricane Sandy.
Workers for National Grid are upset that they have not received overtime pay even though they are working long hours in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Q: Large number of points in PCA plot in R I have a 4309082 x 14 matrix in R, of which I have successfully (and quickly!) performed a principal components analysis of using the prcomp function.
However, when wanting to visualize these results using biplot, R will just hang for minutes until I have to abort the calculation. I imagine this is because of the large number of points (> 4 million). Any suggestions on how to perform this visualization in a quick/efficient manner?
Thanks!

As business owners, we want our businesses to succeed. We want to increase sales, get our products into the hands of more people, capture more leads and increase the amount of exposure that our brands receive. When we are working on all of these things, it's important to remember the power and potential of your business website.
So many small business owners disregard their website in their marketing strategies and instead turn to social media to promote their business. The problem with this is that they don't own their following.
Has Facebook ever asked you to boost your business's posts? Facebook needs to make money too, specifically from ads that YOU are paying to run. Because of this, less and less of the people that like your page are seeing the things that you post. Why? Because Facebook wants your Ad dollars. In fact, the average Facebook organic post reach was a measly 22.8% in March of 2015 for pages with under 1000 likes, and that was over a year ago.
As social networks are driven to increase revenues by investors, they continue to create new ways to make you pay to push out posts to your following. You are going to have to pay MORE for the following YOU accumulated. That being said, you need to develop a marketing strategy that allows for this to happen and your business to still grow online, without spending tons of money each day on advertising.
Your website is a commonly overlooked marketing tool that you can use to help you bulletproof your marketing strategy online. Yes, social media is probably going to be a thing that you use to market your business. And, yes social networks aren't going to ruin it for businesses completely because that's where they get all of their revenue from. All of this information still doesn't take away the importance of your website.
Using your website partially as a blog is a great way to build a brand and provide value to your customers. People will look for and follow content they like, and that's great, especially if that content is your content. Figure out something that you can write a blog post about every week, write it, and promote it through your social channels.
Once you have traffic, you need to build up another channel that you OWN. An email list is a great way to do that because the list is yours. You own it. Because of this, you aren't going to need to pay to "boost" your emails. You can just send them. The only fees that you might incur are the ones from your email list provider.
People love saving money. If you have a coupon of the week, or a deal that you send out to your following, you can drive them to your website and get them on the email list for weekly deals. This way, you can get the people that follow you to see your business on another channel.
Social media is an extremely powerful tool, but your website is too. Leverage your website and make it a part of your marketing strategy, so that you can get in front of people on another marketing channel. Remember, social media is still a great tool to market your business. In fact, I love social media, but I also love using my website as the central part of my marketing strategy. Figure out what works for your business, go for it, and hopefully, I'll see your marketing succeed.

Craft Whiskey Isn't Necessarily Better
Big distilleries like Jim Beam make a mighty fine product. (Also, "craft" doesn't mean what you think.)
By Reid Mitenbuler
Choose your poison

Most foodies reflexively reach for artisanal versions of their favorite foods. We hold the truth that "small is best" to be self-evident, and vow to eat craft rather than Kraft. The bread, cheese, pickles, and jam we buy from small-batch producers at the farmers market and carry home in NPR totes are worth the cost to us: After all, they usually taste better than their commercial counterparts.
In America's evolving whiskey landscape, however, smaller isn't necessarily better. Some excellent craft whiskies have emerged in recent years, but the distilleries responsible for big names like Wild Turkey, Jim Beam, and Four Roses make whiskeys that a surprisingly high number of microdistilleries struggle to match.
This fact flies in the face of our instinct to support the little guy, particularly when he's your new neighbor and has assumed a huge financial risk to pursue the dream of making whiskey. Just a decade ago, almost every brand of American whiskey—primarily bourbon, rye, and Tennessee whiskey—was made by a handful of companies located in Kentucky and other Southern states. In the last few years, however, the number of distilleries has mushroomed to more than 200, spread throughout the country, as new producers attempt to capitalize on whiskey's rising popularity. Sales of American whiskey have increased by more than 13 percent during the last five years, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (which sponsored a recent tour of both big and small distilleries that I attended). Sales of pricier, high-end products, the kind most emerging craft bands are marketing, increased by more than double that rate.
Many of these new distilleries have capitalized on the locavore movement, utilizing terms like "organic," "local," "small," and the ambiguous "craft," to appeal to the kind of upwardly mobile buyers who are driving sales. The upstarts are entering a crowded market for a product that traditionally takes years to age, meaning long learning curves and delayed revenue. The odds are even more stacked against them than they were for emerging microbreweries in the 1980s and 1990s.
Like their brewing brethren, a few successful microdistilleries will eventually stand triumphant on a battlefield littered with secondhand equipment for sale. In order to survive in the meantime, many microdistilleries are either marking up the price of whiskey purchased from big distilleries or attempting to abridge the long and expensive aging process with techniques that have yielded some very mixed results.
Some consumers might be unaware of ways that small outfits are blurring the definition of "craft." As microdistilleries build their facilities or wait for their stocks to age, many purchase whiskey from established companies and resell it. These suppliers include Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Ky., which produces many of its own brands and is best known for Evan Williams bourbon, and MGP Ingredients, which owns the former Seagram Company distillery in Lawrenceburg, Ind. Both companies supply small and large labels alike. Craft brands can either put their own labels on whiskey they purchase from bulk producers and mark up the price, or enhance the flavor of sourced whiskey by aging it further, sometimes in old wine barrels for more complexity. In an industry where many brands pride themselves on tradition and advertise long family heritages with pictures of old men who look like Civil War generals, it's no surprise that many distilleries downplay this practice. (Others create the appearance of being older than they really are by purchasing and reviving long-dormant trademarks.) MGP's bland corporate website doesn't list the brands it supplies, although it does provide basic recipes for the types of spirits its makes. Enterprising drinkers with time on their hands can sometimes use these recipes to sleuth out the origin of their whiskey, if a brand lists its grain composition on its bottles or website. Another tactic is simply to look for town names like Lawrenceburg, Ind., or Bardstown on the label for additional clues. And some companies readily admit on their labels to blending different sourced spirits.
Does sourcing whiskey from other suppliers really matter, as long as it tastes good? Craft brands like the Michter's labels, Belle Meade Bourbon, and Smooth Ambler's Old Scout are all sourced from other distilleries while the companies build their facilities or age their own stocks, and all are balanced and flavorful products. High West Distillery, another craft outfit, even won an award at the 2010 American Distilling Institute's Best Craft American Whiskey competition with a whiskey it originally sourced before its homemade product was ready for market.
David Pickerell, an industry legend who used to be the master distiller for Maker's Mark and now consults with many upstart distilleries, reminded me that sourcing whiskey is itself a tradition going back to the 19th century. Many established and respected brands, including Maker's Mark in the 1950s, bought whiskey from larger distilleries while they got their footing. (Maker's Mark never sold sourced whiskey under the Maker's label, though.) "It's what's in the bottle that counts," Pickerell noted. One taste of Hillrock Estate Solera-Aged bourbon, a whiskey that he sourced but then aged using a method commonly used to age wine but not whiskey, nicely supported his argument. Regardless, whiskey sourced from big distilleries probably doesn't fit most drinkers' concept of "craft."
What about microdistilleries that actually make their own products? Some, such as Nashville's Corsair Distillery, have attracted well-deserved attention by experimenting with techniques and flavors avoided by their bigger counterparts. Sometimes these attempts fail, but when they succeed, the results can be exceptional. Corsair's Quinoa Whiskey has bitter notes that I find disagreeable, but the distillery's Triple Smoke, which employs smoke flavors from three different types of wood, is flavorful, nuanced, and unique. In the tradition-bound whiskey world, Triple Smoke and many of Corsair's other experimental projects are the equivalent of Bob Dylan playing an electric guitar at the Newport Folk Festival: a little unsettling to purists whose tastes and expectations are already established, but appealingly innovative to others.
Conversations about craft distilleries, however, get a little uncomfortable when they turn to more traditional categories of whiskey such as bourbon, which established producers already do very well. As Pickerell told me, "You can't out-Maker's-Mark Maker's Mark." Even the most basic offerings from many big distilleries—brands like Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam Black, and Wild Turkey 101—are excellent products that I find more complex than many craft products that are much more expensive. Higher-end products from these same big distilleries—Eagle Rare Single Barrel, Knob Creek, and Russell's Reserve—are very hard to compete with, especially at the prices they charge.
Established distilleries' biggest advantage over small competitors is that they can afford more of an essential ingredient needed to make good whiskey: time. Four years is generally considered a minimum for decent bourbon. Jimmy Russell, master distiller at Wild Turkey, even considers four- to five-year-old bourbon "a little green." For whiskey startups operating on shoestring budgets, four years is an eternity to wait before earning revenue. Many have attempted to dodge this obstacle by selling younger whiskies or attempting to quickly extract wood flavors by using smaller barrels, wood chips, ultrasound machines, pressure cookers, and even by playing loud bass music to agitate the whiskey. Upstart distilleries say these techniques do for their whiskeys in a matter of months what otherwise takes years.
These kinds of claims immediately raise red flags. Whiskeys made with these new techniques aren't always quite as bad as some whiskey reviewers claim, but to many palates (including my own) they usually lack the depth found in whiskeys aged in large barrels for years at a time. Aware of these limitations, some microdistillery owners have told me they plan to eventually transition to tried-and-true methods used by their established counterparts once they can afford it.
Big distilleries, for their part, are eyeing the competition: Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and Jim Beam have all experimented with some of these alternative aging techniques but thus far have not used them in a large-scale way. Chris Morris, the master distiller at Woodford Reserve, is open to trying new things, and he's embraced a few relatively untraditional techniques to produce his whiskeys, such as triple-distilling and heating its aging warehouses—but he's avoided the eccentric practices used by upstarts. Morris presides over a product line of well-regarded whiskeys and seems confident that he won't be bested by newcomers anytime soon. "We've done it all," he told me. "We know what works and what doesn't work."
Brands like Jim Beam sometimes fail to capitalize on their taste advantages, and they don't help themselves with the foodie market when they do things like team up with Hardee's to offer the "Jim Beam Bourbon Thickburger." Brand recognition like that hardly appeals to people reading Michael Pollan's latest book. But as Jimmy Russell reminded me, many well-known distilleries originally started out as craft operations, eventually merging under larger corporate umbrellas but still operating fairly independently.
This isn't just folksy marketingspeak. Unlike their counterparts in, say, the meatpacking industry, established distilleries' standards and techniques haven't changed much as they've scaled up to increase output. The equipment they rely on still comes from small companies like Vendome Copper and Brass Works in Louisville, Ky., which builds the majority of stills in America for both large and small distilleries. Yes, the juggernauts may produce millions of gallons of booze per year, but they're using old recipes and techniques that are proven to work. It's a patient enterprise, in which whiskey is made from a few basic ingredients, then left to age for years in wooden barrels stored in rustic rack houses that dot the rural Kentucky and Tennessee countryside. Labels and size aside, it's a process that seems very "craft."
Slate's coverage of food systems is made possible in part by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Update, June 27, 2013: This article has been updated to clarify that while Maker's Mark bought whiskey from larger distilleries, they sold it under separate labels rather than their own name.

Hanging exhibition 'Mrs. West's Hats' with her great-granddaughter
1st June, 2016
Exhibition hung. 'Mrs. West's Hats' opens tomorrow until 30th June at The Allen Gallery, Alton, Hampshire, UK.
Mrs. West's Hats exhibition
Mrs West of Binsted was a resourceful lady. She was expected to accompany her husband to many important social events, including garden parties at Buckingham Palace. But cloth was rationed, so instead of a new outfit she wore a different hat for each occasion. Some she bought and others she made herself so that each time it looked as though she was wearing a new outfit.
After Mrs West's death, her granddaughter Helen Couchman, who had by now qualified with a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Critical Fine Art Practice, collected together the hats – there were over 60 of them – and photographed herself in the style of the time wearing them and also her grandmother's original make-up. She then turned the resulting photographs into an artwork which she named 'Mrs West's Hats'.
And now 'Mrs West's Hats' is to be exhibited in Alton's Allen Gallery in June. The exhibition is preceded on May 26th by an illustrated talk by Helen Couchman herself about her grandmother, her hats and what they reveal about life and fashion in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
Helen says: 'My grandmother was a most influential person in my childhood. In my eyes, she was creative, sharply intelligent and ceaselessly loyal towards me. She was most interested in the future – my future. When I tried on her hats I clearly remembered her. Each hat reminded me of a different aspect of my feelings towards her.'
Helen has exhibited 'Mrs West's Hats' in galleries all over the world, but she is particularly pleased that her work is to be shown in Alton, so close to her grandmother's old home. Indeed, Helen herself lived in Binsted for three years and attended Binsted Primary School, so the occasion will bring back even more memories to her. She commented: 'It will be great to show my project in the area where my grandmother lived. It means a lot to me.'
The exhibition 'Mrs West's Hats' runs at the Allen Gallery, 10-12 Church Street, Alton between Thursday 2nd and Thursday 30th June. The gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and entry is free. The talk 'Mrs West's Hats, the life and times of my Binsted grandmother' takes place at the Allen Gallery at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday 26th May. Tickets, obtainable at the gallery or on 01420 82802, cost £5 to include light refreshments. Both events also feature on the website of Hampshire Cultural Trust, www.hampshireculturaltrust.org.uk, while further information about Helen Couchman's work can be found on www.helencouchman.com. 'Mrs. West's Hats' and an essay about the work are published in a hardback book costing £12, ISBN 9780956017208, available in the Allen Gallery shop and online at www.SoloshowPublishing.com.

Art.Zip magazine, Issue 5. 2012, including 'Special Feature, Helen Couchman'
As a lone traveller, the English artist Helen Couchman arrived in Beijing via Moscow on the Trans-Mongolian railway in 2006. She arrived into a city that was as familiar to her as it was foreign. Taking a small flat near Gulou, she has since made Beijing her home, making work in her flat and using studios around Beijing and in the UK as needs must. In the spirit of the flaneur, Couchman finds herself walking through Beijing at night, lost in the city that found her. Couchman sent us the following photographic essay from Beijing, arranged "as I would pin images up on my studio wall as I work; to serve as references for my drawings and printmaking."
Special edition with guest Editors: Dr. Trish Lyons and Monica Chung
Art.Zip Issue 5 also features: Song Dong, Geoff Dyer, Issac Julien, Margarita Gluzberg amongst others. ART.ZIP is the first bilingual contemporary art magazine dedicated to bringing together the world of art in the UK and China.
page 91 (UCCA, 798, Beijing, poster feat. 'Self portrait with long life earrings')
For the magazine page spreads see here
As the first non-Chinese guest editor of the bi-lingual contemporary art magazine Art Zip Lyons compiled and commissioned a selection of texts, interviews and reviews focusing on the theme of translation. The issue was designed to physically and conceptually hinge around a Chinese caligrapic translation of Walter Benjamin's essay 'Chinese Curios', highlighting cultural differences through the context of graphic layout and bi-lingual texts.
As well as overseeing the overall layout of the issue, Lyons guided the translation of'Chinese Curios' an essay by Geoff Dyer and an interview with Song Dong. She commissioned the cover art work and a photo essay on Beijing nightlife by Helen Couchman. In addition to her editorial work, Lyons commissioned a special edition fold out print by the artist Margarita Gluzberg and wrote an accompanying essay, 'Her Dark Materials'. In this essay, Lyons unpacks the artist's term of the 'consumystic', a hybrid concept that conflates, desire, consumption and the mystical. Exploring the dynamic and material processes that drive Gluzberg's practice, Lyons draws together literary characters to communicate the dynamics at work in Gluzberg's photographs.
25,000 copies of the special edition of Art Zip were distributed throughout museums in China including Today Art Museum, National Museum of China, National Museum of China, Beijing, Inside-Out Art Museum, Sichuan Art Museum, Tianjin Art Museum, Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, Guangdong Museum of Arts, Shanghai Doulun Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai Zhengda Museum and Minsheng Art Museum. The issue is held in the library collections of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, Academy of Art and Design, Tsinghua University, China Central Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Art, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Luxun Academy of Fine Arts.
'WORKERS 工人' on exhibit in Beijing featured in Accademia Apulia News
Helen Couchman's work on show in Beijing
In December 2007 Helen Couchman, member of Accademia Apulia UK, photographed a large group of Chinese workers engaged in the construction work of the 2008 Olympic park. Couchman chose a specific group of labourers, employed to build the iconic 'bird's nest' stadium and the Olympic swimming pool.
The 143 portraits that resulted are contained in an amazing book WORKERS. Between 11th of April and 8th May 2012 thirty portraits from the WORKERS series will be on show at swanky Yihe Hotel in the Chaoyang district of Beijing. The portraits will be part of a group exhibition, Heyi 798 Art Project, curated by renowned curatorial duo Wong Jun and He Bing.
The group exhibition, under the wing of Gabriela Salgado (formerly Curator of Public Programmes at The Tate Modern) will include some one hundred established artists showing an interesting sample of eclectic creativity.

Oral hypoglycaemic agents are of two types. The sulphonylureas stimulate release of insulin from the pancreatic islets. Chlorpropamide has a very prolonged duration of action and may cause hypoglycaemia unless it is withdrawn 48 h before surgery. A change to a shorter-acting agent such as glipizide or gliclazide is preferable.
Biguanides, which increase peripheral uptake of glucose and decrease gluconeogenesis, are used in obese maturity-onset diabetics either alone or in combination with sulphonylureas. These agents may cause lactic acidosis, usually, but not exclusively, in patients with even mild renal or hepatic impairment. Guidelines for the administration of i.v. contrast media include the instructions to withhold metformin for 24 h before and 48 h after the investigation. Lactic acidosis carries a very high mortality; consequently, metformin, the only biguanide now available, should be discontinued at least 24 h before surgery.
The last dose of oral hypoglycaemic agent should be administered 24 h before surgery and no further treatment is required until the morning of surgery if blood glucose control is satisfactory.


The Real Madrid Football Club is a team that plays in the top tier of the Spanish football league, called La Liga. If you follow football, you already know the strength of the Spanish teams. If you're a fan of the team, there are several options you have to watch the games. For those that live in the country, you are all set. If you are not in Spain or are traveling abroad, you might need a VPN to unblock geo-restrictions. The key is to connect to a VPN server in the same country as the channel or streaming service is located.
Online, there are several ways to watch the Real Madrid FC matches.
Fubo TV – Rival to Sling TV. Channels include NBC, Fox, USA, BeIN Sports, NBA TV, GOLF, and quite a few more. This service is also available in Canada with more channels and a different price.
There may be more ways to watch, but these offer the most solid performance.
As we mentioned, the Spanish teams have a reputation of being outstanding. Though the Real Madrid C.F. is a newer club than some (it was founded in 1902), that has not stopped them from being one of the top teams. The club asserted itself as being one of the major forces in both Spanish and European football in the 1950s. They are also noteworthy for being owned by the members instead of companies or individuals. That is different from most other European sporting entities.
With an estimated worth of 3.65 billion dollars and an income of more than 500 million a year, it is not hard to see why those numbers make it one of the most supported teams in the world. Of course, money isn't everything. Since 1947, the team has played its home matches in downtown Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. At a capacity of 81,044 spectators, the popular location is the 14th largest in the world.
The stadium is named after Santiago Bernabéu Yeste, the president of the Real Madrid football club from 1945 – 1978. It was his leadership that helped make the club what it is today. In 1953, he adopted the strategy of signing up world-class players from abroad. The list of athletes to play for Real Madrid is long, but one of the more well-known names in modern times is David Beckham and of course Cristiano Ronaldo.
If you are a fan of Real Madrid, you could always try to get tickets for a game. For the rest of us, we have to watch using one of the methods we spoke about earlier. If you have friends that love the team, please share this post with them so they can watch as well. be sure to follow us on Twitter @VPNFan for latest VPN news and special offers.


The Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Dimitrov started his official visit of Germany. The Foreign Minister started his visit with a political briefing with the Parliamentary Group for Foreign Policy of CDU at the German Bundestag on the progress of Macedonia towards integration in NATO and EU. "North Macedonia is the wind of hope and encouragement for EU. We have overcome the differences with our neighbours through the agreements we achieved with Bulgaria and Greece, and we resolved one of the most complicate bilateral issues in Europe, the name issue with Greece. Based on what we achieved in the past two years, today we offer arguments to our German friends in order to secure their support for our integration in the EU. The clear recognition of or efforts and achievements will be additional encouragement for North Macedonia to work on implementation of reforms," Dimitrov said. The FM also held meetings with the Coordinator of the MP group of CDU Ralph Brinkhaus, with whom he discussed ongoing political processes in Macedonia focusing on the country's integration in the EU.

We made a trip to the southern portion of Germany, east of the Black Forest but not quite as far south as Baviaria. For the first part of our trip, we stayed in Rothenberg, a medieval city which still has the wall intact all the way around. We then moved on to the Schwaebian region, or the Swaebische Alb. It is a mountainous area similar to the Ozarks, but probably geologically younger. Lots of tall hills rise out of the gently rolling hills, and nearly every peak or ridgline had a castle on it. We stayed in a youth hostel in Tübingen, a centrally-located college town, and travelled to two castles from there.
A look from about 10 stories up in the Roederturm (tower) right by our hotel. There were towers every few feet along the city wall, seen on the left.

Even Riley did his best to "stop and smell the roses" on this trip. There were old stone watering troughs every few paces filled with beautiful geraniums and miniature petunias. He asked me to take a picture of him smelling the flowers.
A famous view of the lazy Neckar River (which also flows through Heidelberg) from a bridge near the old part of Tuebingen. The church alone was built in the 15th century.

Hohenzollern was the ancestral home of the Schwaebian princes, and also had ties to the Prussian kings. It was a monster perched high on a mountaintop.

Once again it is the time of year where it is impossible to forget that Christmas is just around the corner, we see advertising on our TV's, in the shops, on the radio and we read about it in magazines and newspapers, but what is Christmas all about? How have things changed since the time that Christmas began?
Originally Christmas was all about Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus, now it has become a time where the kids are looking forward to seeing what Santa has left for them in their Christmas stockings and under the Christmas tree.
Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) was a wealthy man who gave gifts to the poor who were struggling financially, however, he didn't want them to know where the gifts had come from, so he gave in such a way so the folk would find his gifts but not know who gave them, hence the myth about Father Christmas.
However, for many people nowadays, Christmas has become a time where families worry about the cost of Christmas rather than looking forward to the occasion. The temptation to take out loans and max out credit cards can prove to be irresistible with the thought of Christmas costs looming and how they are going to afford it.
Having said that, people do like to celebrate Christmas, it is a time for families, parties and celebrations, however, the costs involved are still a major factor of the celebrations. The purchasing of decorations, food, drink and spending on travel all adds to the cost proving that Christmas is the most expensive time of year for families in the Canada.
Free debt advice agencies such as Payplan ( www.payplan.com ) say that the amount of enquiries they usually experience in December is significantly less in comparison to other months throughout the year, however February is the time they receive the highest amount of enquiries, due to debtors denying the true cost of Christmas until they realize their finances have been crippled.
The figures reflect what happens in the credit industry in the months surrounding December. People take out loans or spend on credit cards in order to keep up with the costs of Christmas and then look for ways to deal with their finances in the New Year. A survey conducted by Payplan in 2003 showed that over 45% of people were still paying for presents bought in 2002.
Already people who use debt forums are talking about how they are feeling the pressure of Christmas and looking for ways to ease the stress and find ways to cope with Christmas costs without adding to their existing debt problems. "It's just a bit of a depressing time for people trapped in debt!!" said one poster, "The true sprit of Christmas has been hijacked by marketing and advertising people and whipped into a three months spending frenzy " said another.

Is it just me or is your fridge full of half-used "stuff"? Half a jar of this sauce, half a bottle of that condiment, etc. It makes me nuts. Not nuts enough to be efficient and use them up, instead I often end up chucking jars that seem to have gone from good to questionable... but hey, nobody's perfect, 'm I right?
Growing up my favorite meal was ravioli with sauce. It's still pretty high up there but these days I tend to find it a bit boring. I threw this lil' number together in an effort to use up some of my half-used things (tomatoes and alfredo in this case) and mmmm was it a success. Landon, who eats approximately 1 food, said, "That smells DELICIOUS!" (He didn't taste it- but hey, we can't win them all...) Such an easy meal and it's so so yummy.
1- Preheat the oven to 350.
2- Place tomatoes in an oven-safe skillet. Drizzle oil over the top and set in the oven for about 25 minutes, until the tomatoes skin begins to wrinkle and the juices begin to run out.
3- Meanwhile, cook your ravioli according to package directions.
4- Using a potato masher mash the tomatoes, releasing their juices into the skillet.
5- Stir in the alfredo and the garlic salt, stir well.
6- Gently fold the ravioli into the sauce.
7- Top with the shredded mozzarella. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles.
Looking delicious to me and ingredients are also healthy, can't wait to eat this delicious food anymore as I am feeling hunger.

The attractive fan-shaped shells contain translucent off-white meat wrapped with a bright orange roe or coral, which has a different taste and texture. The membrane, grey-brown frill and black thread of intestine are all discarded. King scallops have approximately 15cm wide shells (one rounded, one flat) and you get 18 to 35 pieces of meat per kg. Queen scallops have approximately 7 cm wide shells (both rounded), and you get 40 to 120 pieces of meat per kg. They can be sold either in the shell or as shelled meat - with or without the roe. The easiest way of catching scallops is through dredging, but we also have a market for premium quality diver-caught scallops. Because the meat acts like a sponge, there is a long history of 'soaking' scallops to increase the weight. We can supply either, but strongly recommend un-soaked 'dry' scallops - why pay for water? A superb starter with or without shells, scallop meat has a sweet, delicate flavour, and requires very little cooking - the simpler the better. Best either steamed, pan-fried or grilled.

Choice Act Quietly Takes Aim at the Shareholder Resolution Process
June 15, 2017 by Marc Butler
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives took its first step towards Dodd-Frank rollbacks with passage of the Financial Choice Act. While the bill focuses on banking reforms, nuzzled away in the lengthy bill are several significant modifications that would drastically overhaul the existing shareholder proposal process—a fundamental benefit shareholders receive in exchange for their investment.
Currently, Rule 14a-8 allows any shareholder who owns at least $2,000, or 1%, of a company's stock to offer a proposal for inclusion in the company's proxy statement for the annual meeting, according to a recent Harvard Law School blog post authored by Ning Chiu, counsel at Davis Polk & Wardwell.
"The Choice Act changes that ownership and holding requirement to permit submission of proposals by only a shareholder owning 1% of the company's securities entitled to vote on the proposal, or such greater percentage as determined by the SEC, so long as the shareholder has held the stock for a minimum of three years. This change eliminates the dollar threshold entirely," Chiu explained.
If adopted, this provision could seriously weaken the shareholder proposal process. Dropping the dollar amount threshold completely alters the existing requirement since 1% of a large-cap company could be billions of dollars with of share ownership. This amendment, which possibly targets shareholder proponents, could render ineligible any proposals submission opportunities for them.
The Choice Act also recussitates a never-adopted 1997 SEC rule proposal that excludes shareholder proposals that receive less than 6% of favorable support, 15% if proposed twice and 30% if proposed more than three times, for a period of up to only five years.
"The current rule allows resubmission if a proposal received more than 3%, 6% and 10%, respectively, which means a proposal that receives more than 10% can be sent to a company indefinitely," Chiu explained.
While the statute is silent on the length of time that a proposal can be excluded on this basis, the current rule would exclude a proposal without the requisite vote thresholds for any meeting held within the last three years of the last time the proposal was in the proxy statement.
This change would permit more social-based proposals to be excluded, such as the recent shareholder proposal asking ExxonMobil to adopt a plan to address climate change—a proposal that garnered more than 62 percent of shareholder support. Just last year, a similar proposal received only 38 percent support, and the company vigorously lobbied against the measure right up to the vote.
As the Choice Act moves through the U.S. Senate, where unlikely Democratic support will be crucial for it to gain any traction, legislators will need to ask themselves if the implications of excluding shareholders from the proposal process will cause more harm than good.

Q: Installing the python-igraph-0.6 module on Fedora 17 I try for some time to install the python-igraph-0.6 module for my EPD-python.
I built the C-core, and following the instruction on various sites I do:
/home/joseph/epd/bin/python setup.py build

or
/home/joseph/epd/bin/python setup.py install

and it generates always the same error:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I would have to possible explainations: Either 'gcc' is not working properly (but I already compiled the C-part with ./configure, make, make install) or something is not properly linked somehow.
I already looked at similar posts and installed python-devel packages and so on ...
but nothing changed.
The full output is:
[root@joseph python-igraph-0.6]# /home/joseph/epd/bin/python setup.py build
Using default include and library paths for compilation
If the compilation fails, please edit the LIBIGRAPH_FALLBACK_*
variables in setup.py or include_dirs and library_dirs in

compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

A: The error message you are getting indicates that the compiler cannot find the headers required to bind to the C core of igraph. In particular, it is missing a file called igraph_arpack.h, but this is not the only one, there would be more had gcc continued with the compilation after this message.
The setup.py script of the Python interface of igraph relies on pkg-config to figure out where to find the headers, but in your system this fails, probably because pkg-config itself is not installed. So, I guess that the solution is as follows:

*

*Make sure that you run make install after having compiled the C core. You claim that you did so, but I thought I'd mention it anyway for sake of completeness.

*Install pkg-config on your system.

*Check that pkg-config knows about the installed C core of igraph by typing pkg-config --cflags --libs igraph. If you see a bunch of compiler options printed to the standard output, you are okay.

*Run python setup.py install again. This time it should invoke pkg-config successfully, get the required compiler options, and compile the Python interface successfully.
If it still doesn't work (e.g., because you cannot get pkg-config to work), you can open setup.cfg and edit the include_dirs and library_dirs variables; the former should point to the folder where the igraph include files are to be found (typically /usr/local/include/igraph or /usr/include/igraph, depending on where exactly you installed the C core), and the latter should point to the folder where libigraph.so is).

Test results received Wednesday morning showed cyanotoxins have been discovered in the city's water distribution system.
After just four days, Salem city officials on Wednesday reissued a do-not-drink water advisory for children younger than 6 and some adults with compromised immune systems.
Test results received Wednesday morning once again showed cyanotoxins in the city's drinking water system, with levels higher than those set out under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for those at-risk populations, according to the advisory.
"For the vast majority of Salem residents, the water is safe to drink and no action is needed," city officials stressed in the advisory. The advisory also affects the city of Turner.
Cyanotoxins are a poison produced by a bacteria called cyanobacteria. With exposure to the toxins, mammals can suffer respiratory issues and allergic reactions. The toxins can also lead to kidney and liver damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
By Wednesday afternoon, at least four water distribution sites had been re-established for the public.
City spokesman Kenny Larson the latest test results were from samples taken on June 2, June 3 and June 4.
The results showed toxin levels above safe thresholds for vulnerable populations at just one location — northeast Salem. Tests showed the toxin microcystin at 0.351 parts per billion last Sunday (June 3) and .3201 PPB on Monday (June 4).
The safe threshold for vulnerable populations of microcystin is 0.3, and 1.6 PPB for healthy adults.
Other locations around Salem also showed traces of microcystin and cylindrospermopsin in the drinking water, but at levels within the safe threshold.
There need to be two clear days worth of results for the advisory to be lifted. Larson said results from Tuesday's sample could come as early as Thursday, and results from Wednesday's sample could come Friday.
The reason behind the delay is that Salem sends its samples to an out-of-state lab. The recent water crisis has prompted Salem officials to consider bringing a lab to Oregon.
In response to Salem's drinking water crisis, the Oregon Health Authority on Tuesday announced it would prepare state rules that require testing for cyanotoxins throughout the state for certain bodies of water at-risk for toxic algae blooms.
State health officials expect temporary rules to be set up by the end of June to get Oregon through this algae-bloom season. Permanent rules would be finalized later.
OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie said Wednesday, "What Salem's renewed advisory shows is that regular, thorough testing for cyanotoxins, as has been done by Salem, is extremely valuable in ensuring those toxins don't get missed when the water system draws from surface water sources that are susceptible to algae blooms."
Toxic algae blooms are becoming more common in the U.S., according to the nonprofit Environmental Working Group. In Oregon, Detroit Lake has seen an uptick in the blooms in recent years, but 2018 marked the first year where dangerous levels of cyanotoxins made their way into Salem's tap water.
Salem-Keizer Public Schools on Wednesday was providing water to vulnerable students and adults. On Thursday, district officials will begin preparing all meals with bottled water or without water completely, district spokeswoman Lillian Govus said.
SALEM WATER CRISIS: What if you drink the tap water during the advisory?
Salem Health officials got a call from the city at 9:52 a.m. notifying them the water advisory might be reissued, Salem Health spokesman Aaron Reber said in an email. An overhead page at 10:15 a.m. at Salem Hospital stated: "CODE TRIAGE. Water advisory reactivation by the city of Salem."
Reber said, "This overhead page gathers the team and gets us planning so that when/if the city announced reactivation, we would already be working on our preparations."
Last time a drinking water advisory was in place, city councilors had expressed frustration with not being informed much sooner. They found out shortly before a May 29 council meeting after city staff had known there was a possible problem with the water since May 25.
This time around, city councilors were looped in much sooner. City Councilor Sally Cook said she received notification Wednesday morning from Deputy City Manager Kacey Duncan. "It's being handled much better," Cook said.

Pentaxians have come to expect every new DSLR to be fully weather-sealed, and the KP delivers on that point.
It also upgrades the K-70's mostly-plastic exterior with a metal frame similar to the ones used for Pentax flagships.
The KP's metal body doesn't span the top of the camera, but this doesn't affect the color or feel or the finish.
Ultimately, this isn't a bad compromise between build quality and affordability, as the KP still feels exceptionally solid. Inside, there's another metal chassis holding everything in place.
It seems to me old cameras of Pentax had better plastic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I touched K-S2 and the body seems cheaper than even my old K200D.
One user from Penta-Club tried KP at the Russian's dealer presentation - he said that previous cameras from plastic looks better.
With the K-S2, I think the difference you notice is actually the weight. It's strongly built and the plastics are very good quality, but it's a very light camera (around 500g for the body only), and that can give an impression of lower quality when you're used to heavier models (the lower-end Nikon and Canon models can feel a little "cheap", but they're also really well made - again, I'm sure it's just the weight). My Samsung GX-10 (K10D clone) has a plastic outer body shell, but it feels even more substantial than my all-metal K-5, K-3 and K-3II.
It would be illogical to ever go down in polymer qualities. The science and tech of high strength polymers is always advancing but the cost doesn't really skyrocket, so it would be crazy not to use the best material available for the purpose. Consider the ubiquitous ultra-strong polymer pistol frames. The K-S2 and K70 (I own both) are both solid and robust bodies, and only the top and a few small parts of the KP and K-1 are not metal, anyway. That person who said that "previous cameras from plastic look better" likely was biased for one reason or another.
That said, I well remember the Minolta XG series. I was working for Minolta as a repair technician in 1978 when that body was unleashed on the US. It was a plastic frame, and I'm not talking about the good kind, either, lol. Screws would commonly strip out and we would have to use a larger one. Not to mention the electronics sucked. There was a constant flood of returned XG's. I always remember one customer's letter where he remarked that he was surprised that his THIRD replaced camera didn't explode in his hands.
But the plastics could be different, K200D and K-S2 are made from different polymers. Or it could be a bit different technology.
I feel it by fingers and by my eyes. New polymer could be not worse than old material, right, but it looks different.
Umm, this is one person's view in the entire world. If someone says it looks great does that make it suddenly the best looking camera in the world. People like different things and value different things. That's the great thing about humanity.
Anyway, you seem to discount those who like it and automatically agree with someone who agrees with your viewpoint. That's fine but believe it or not some of those who already own the camera do seem to like it.
Umm, this is one person's view in the entire world..
Nobody says that plastic of KP is great. Just OK.
Boris, your repeated negativity is unfortunate (and not just in this thread). The OP actually owns a KP, and he says the plastic top panel looks good. Why wouldn't you trust someone who actually owns one? Perhaps you could simply be happy for him and congratulate him on his fine new camera, instead of picking fault with something you don't own and haven't used?

Ogl has decided long ago that KP is not good enough and was a bad decision by Ricoh, hence any positive reviews are disregarded, while any opinions similar to his own are used to proove his point.
I have to say-the KP does not look or feel cheap to me. I have never had a silver one in hand but my black KP has a look and feel of quality.
When I handled a KP at a demo day recently, I wasn't entirely sure about it, but build quality was not an issue. It looked and felt like a very fine camera.
...But I got distracted by the K-1 they had there too. Would like another chance to handle both.
It appears to me as a quality product, and is quite a beautiful design. There were some complaints way back regarding the last Pentax flagship 35mm film SLR, the MZ-S, that it seemed cheap and plasticky, even though being of magnesium alloy construction. Its smaller, lighter body gave such an impression to those used to a heavier camera. I have both a black and a silver version of that model- it is very well made, though light-weight. It is substantially lighter than a KP!
I like the changeable grip idea. I can see where the vertical front control dial takes a bit of real estate from the grip, maybe a horizontal one could have had a smaller housing with more room for grip hight. The reviewer was obviously used to a heavier design and more substantial grip. He would have been happier had he been using the optional battery grip. The concept is, to offer something of very high performing imaging quality in an APS-C DSLR, that is closer in compactness to the mirrorless models, but expandable in size and handling when needed. I anticipate I will be happy with the smallest grip when I am going about with a prime kit of Limiteds, like the 21mm, 40 or 43mm, and the 77mm. Or maybe the medium grip when I decide going with a slightly larger kit, the 20-40mm plus 77mm. I will also buy the battery grip. Going with larger lenses, if I use the KP instead of the K-5 IIs, I may well employ the battery grip, which certainly will provide adequate finger room and secure holding!
When using larger lenses, I tend to hold from underneath the lens anyway while actually shooting, but battery grips are more secure for overall handling with larger lenses, as well as doing lots of vertical shots.
I am curious as to how I will like the extra top-knobs control layout, if I will actually make use of what they offer, to justify the lack of a top LCD. I've had similar thoughts regarding the K-1. The reviewer was right about the bargain the K-70 represents! At the same time, he acknowledges several advanced aspects where the higher KP cost is justified. And it is indeed essentially a metal-body design, unlike the K-70 . I am looking forward to getting a KP!

Regions / Italy / Liguria
Liguria Wine Regions, its Climate, and Popular Grape Varietals
Liguria is a wine region located in the northwest of Italy, along with the country's famed Italian Riviera. To the north of Liguria is Piedmont; to the west are the Alps and Provence; to the east are the Apennines and Emilia-Romagna, and to the south is the small border with Tuscany. Liguria is a long and thin region with rugged terrain, including plenty of steep cliffs and stunning views.
The Liguria wine region is known for its light white wines, especially those from Bosco, Albarola and Vermentino (known locally as "Pigato" for the pigmented colors that appear on the mature grapes). Two red grape varietals – Rossesse and Ormeasco (similar to the Dolcetto of Piedmont) – can be found here as well. The Rossesse wines of Piedmont are notably particularly for being fruity and spicy. Overall, white wines account for 75% of total wine production in Piedmont.
In terms of winemaking, the rugged terrain and relatively poor soil quality introduce a number of challenges. Vineyards are often planted along hills with steep slopes, where it can be difficult to maintain them. Of all the wine regions of Italy, Liguria has the second-lowest wine output, despite its Mediterranean-influenced climate.
Winemaking in Liguria has been going on for nearly 2500 years – back to the days of the ancient Etruscans and Greeks. During the Roman era, the region of Cinque Terre ("Five Lands") was notable for its winemaking traditions. Today, Cinque Terre is arguably the most important DOC in Liguria. It has cliffside vineyards overlooking tiny fishing villages.
