New Cabinet Secretary Well Prepared for Tasks Ahead
Ambassador Douglas Saunders brings to his new post as Cabinet Secretary, not just years of wide-ranging experience in the public service, but most importantly, an appreciation of the international environment in which the country operates, coupled with an appreciation of the perspective of the international community.
Affable and accommodating, Ambassador Saunders welcomes the JIS News team to the Cabinet Office at Jamaica House, as he sits down to talk about his 36 years of service to the country and how he hopes to contribute to, and participate in policy direction, as Cabinet Secretary.
Ambassador Saunders expects that his foreign relations background will be of notable use in his new post. "The world over time, in effect, is getting smaller. There are not many domestic policy measures a country can take, which do not have implications for the country's foreign relations. Domestic policy is significantly dictated by international frameworks. There are a host of Conventions covering almost every subject under the sun, and you are constrained by those, in terms of actions you can take domestically," he says.
Citing an example, he says the matter that is perhaps most pressing for Jamaica are issues related to crime and efforts to deal with it. "That is always constrained by sometimes contradictory pressures from the human rights lobby. But the human rights lobby is not a local phenomena, it is an internationally generated pressure.
Paradoxically, it was Jamaica, back in the 1960s, that had proposed the commemoration of 1968 as the International Year for Human Rights, so Jamaica is no stranger to that phenomena in the international context. It now seems to some that it is serving as a constraint on measures to deal with other pressing imperatives, such as crime," he argues.
At the end of the day, he points out, there needs to be a balance, as while Jamaica has its imperatives to address, there are constraints by way of international obligations, which the country has undertaken, "and we have to deal with that."
He says that in the formulation of domestic policy, it is useful to be aware of, or sensitive to the forces at play at the international level. "So hopefully, I will bring some of that experience to the national domestic policy making arena, and since one of the main areas of the Cabinet office is to seek to ensure policy co-ordination across the system, that kind of perspective can usefully be brought to bear," he says.
As it relates to new initiatives, Ambassador Saunders is cautious. "I don't, at this point, want to go down the line of any new initiative. I think that my predecessor, Dr. Carlton Davis, oversaw a period of very substantial innovation and initiative, particularly as it relates to the performance of the public service, transparency issues, accountability, and so on. I am not saying that at some point I may not feel the need for new initiatives, but I think at this point, the service needs to be given an opportunity to absorb all of the already implemented, already initiated modernisation efforts," he emphasises.
"In pursuing those initiatives already in place, one has to keep in mind that we are in a situation of, in real terms, diminishing resources, both financial and human," the Cabinet Secretary adds.
He tells JIS News, that the tasks become larger each year for most Ministries, without any corresponding increase in budgetary or human resources. This means that these already existing initiatives have to be implemented within the ambit of existing resources.
"A lot of the administrative processes are necessary. In terms of Government procurement, for example, processes are now required, which did not exist maybe 10 or 15 years ago. It's an additional administrative requirement or burden on the respective parts of the civil service and one has to seek to ensure that we consolidate those initiatives and reforms, with a view to ensuring that they are fully absorbed into the system, in a way that these things are no longer initiatives of modernisation, that they become almost second nature," he explains.
After graduating from the UWI in 1972, the new Cabinet Secretary joined the Office of the Services Commission, and was assigned to the then Ministry of External Affairs.
He notes that this system of employment in the public service was very useful. "In those days when you joined the civil service, especially at the professional level, you actually were employed by the Office of the Services Commission, which could assign you to any Ministry," he adds.
After five months of being assigned to the Ministry, he was permanently employed there, and this is effectively where his career in the Jamaica Foreign Service began, and where he remained until taking up office as Cabinet Secretary on June 1 of this year.
Ambassador Saunders began his early years in the service as an Administrative Cadet and when he was permanently assigned to the Ministry, he became what was then an Administrative Officer, assigned to the Finance and Administration Division.
"I assume because I had done a management degree.it was the first time they had assigned a graduate to that division. I found, partly on reflection, that that initial stint has stood me in very good stead for the remainder of my career in the Foreign Service. It provided a strong administrative base. It provided a familiarity with the way the administrative machine of Government works, which I have always felt was extremely useful to me," he says.
It is an attachment, the Cabinet Secretary says, that as Permanent Secretary for what later became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, he insisted on for new recruits coming from university. "It is not that you become an expert in terms of every detail of Finance and Human Resource and Administration. It does provide you with a basis on which you instinctively know when you come across certain issues, you have an idea where to look, where to refer somebody else to, or where to look for a solution to a particular problem that might arise in those areas," he points out.
On his return in 2002, from his last overseas assignment as Ambassador in Brussels, he assumed duties as Permanent Secretary and occupied that position until his transfer to his current post.
The Cabinet Secretary notes that he was Ambassador to Belgium and six other countries, as well as to the European Union (EU). He also served in the United Kingdom (UK) as Deputy High Commissioner between 1987 and 1991 and acted as High Commissioner for 18 months of that period.
Ambassador Saunders says his UK assignment, in particular, was a most fulfilling period, not only because of the range and variety of responsibility, but the period during which he acted as High Commissioner, exacted certain demands of him, in terms of interfacing with the Jamaican Diaspora, "because the high Commissioner in London does tend to be the first level of interface with the various organisations, and the UK has a density of Jamaican nationals and organisations.I found it interesting."
"I have been to places and been amazed at the level of recognition of Jamaica and Jamaicans," he tells JIS News. This, he notes, is due to widespread embracing of Jamaican music and recognition of the successes of the country's athletes and achievements in the sporting arena.
Even on the political front, Jamaica has, over the years, managed to project itself as a country with clearly established principles governing its foreign relations, and is regarded by many as a leader in the Caribbean, Ambassador Saunders asserts.
He argues that Jamaica's relations have matured with major and traditional players, such as the UK, the United States, and some European countries. "Clearly, at the time of Independence, we would have assumed responsibility for external relations, which were previously undertaken by the British. Foreign Affairs and Defence, were two areas which we were not responsible for, until Independence, notwithstanding gradual progression from various stages of self-government to Independence," he says.
Ambassador Saunders notes that the country's foreign policy has had to evolve, as shortly after Independence, Jamaica became a member of the United Nations and over time, has had to shoulder more responsibility for its external affairs.
"I believe that Jamaica's approach to international relations, has moved to the level where there is no longer any significant questioning of our position or positioning, even in situations where some of our major partners may have major differences with third countries with which we have good relations," he says.
"Therefore, if any of our traditional partners may have problems with some other country in our hemisphere and even outside the hemisphere, it cannot automatically mean that we have a problem with those countries," the Ambassador adds.
For example, he says, the kinds of pressures which used to be applied, or questions which used to be raised, in relation to Jamaica's relations with Cuba and more recently, with Venezuela, has largely dissipated. "I believe that it's largely due to the fact that over time, countries have come to appreciate the underpinning of Jamaica's foreign policy, which includes essentially, elements which are central to the UN Charter, to which we are committed," he says.
Ambassador Saunders was born in Frome, Westmoreland, to parents who worked at the West Indies Sugar Factory. He spent many of his formative years in Kingston, completing his secondary and tertiary studies. He holds a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Government and Politics from St. John's University, New York, and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Management Studies from the University of the West Indies (UWI). He is married with four children.

Honest Leadership and Open Government Act / Act should be passed
< Honest Leadership and Open Government Act
Position: Act should be passed
This position addresses the topic Honest Leadership and Open Government Act.
For this position
"it would represent a significant step toward a cleaner and more transparent system. Lawmakers would be prohibited from accepting meals, travel and entertainment from lobbyists and those who employ them. They would have to report the contributions that lobbyists "bundle" for their campaigns. And there would be far more disclosure of the earmarked pet projects that lawmakers tuck into bills."
From 'Expected to Sign', by The Washington Post editorial board (The Washington Post, August 17, 2007) (view)
"The White House's stated concerns border on the ludicrous — for example, that the president might be forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars when he uses Air Force One for campaign flights, because the measure bans members of Congress from flying the friendly skies of corporate jets at token fares. Election regulations have long recognized a president's unique travel situation as a campaigner and would not change."
From Mr. Bush's Chance to Help Congress, by The New York Times editorial board (The New York Times, August 15, 2007) (view)
"The White House has argued that the bill doesn't go far enough [...] But a veto would postpone or imperil the rest of the progress on ethics and lobbying reform in the bill. The cause of cleaning up Congress would be far better served if the president, after signing the measure, championed a successor that would bolster its gains."
From Restrict lobbying, by Orlando Sentinel editorial board (Orlando Sentinel, August 15, 2007) (view)
"For the first time, the lavish torrent of campaign money from eager lobbyists to grateful politicians would have to be reported quarterly to the public via the Internet, with tighter scrutiny and penalties for violators. The reports would highlight lobbyists' so-called bundling, the massing of individual donations into eye-popping packages for politicians and their party committees."

INTRODUCTION: Medication errors (MEs) can prolong hospital stay and are a cause of morbidity and mortality. Studies evaluating MEs and its determinants in Indian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are limited. Therefore, this study was done to assess the prevalence, characteristics, determinants, and outcomes of MEs in an Indian NICU setting. METHODOLOGY: A prospective observational study was conducted over a 1-year period (January–December 2016) among neonates receiving medications in NICU. Systematic random sampling was done, and data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire after obtaining informed consent from the mother. An ME self-reporting system was also established. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test and Student's t-test. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the determinants of MEs. RESULTS: Among 269 babies included in the study, 57% (n = 154) were male babies with mean (standard deviation [SD]) birth weight of 2.59 kg (0.701). About 79% (n = 213/269) of the neonates were appropriate for gestational age. The mean (SD) duration of stay in NICU was 7.58 (5.07) days, and 67% of the babies had polypharmacy (use of ≥5 medications). The prevalence of MEs was 22% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.96%, 26.84%, n = 108) of all babies, of which only 2% (n = 2) were life threatening. Seventy-seven percent (n = 83) of these errors occurred during administration/preparation and 18% (n = 19) while prescribing. The significant determinants of MEs (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]) include polypharmacy (4.126 [1.917–8.880]), duration of stay >7 days (1.335 [1.198–1.488]), and babies referred from outside (2.592 [1.217–5.521]). CONCLUSIONS: MEs were common in NICU setting. The occurrence of life-threatening MEs was minimal. Longer duration of hospital stay, polypharmacy, and babies born outside were significantly associated with occurrence of MEs.

In the light of George Bush's speech on landing a man on Mars, we recall that the Soviets had the idea first. Here it is immortalised in the song 'There will be apple trees on Mars' courtesy of the astounding Soviet Music site.
And I think Ken Macleod might appreciate To the Stars "...on the star roads we can hear victorious song of the Earth..." A song about Soviet cosmonauts.


A. The psychic power to make anyone do anything you wanted?
B. The psychic power to let others use their own free will in an enlightened way?
I don't think In need to explain this one.
Two key words: "free will." B is evidently the optimal choice, but to use it in an enlightened way is still to some degree mental alteration, but adds the bonus of a greater understanding. They have only been granted access to greater insight.
A could possibly be used to the same effect but would grant more control over the subject though limiting their freedom in certain aspects in form of how far the alteration goes.
However, A could still be effective as a non controlling asset. Being a "psychic ability", I'd surmise the use of telepathy would be involved. It does not have to be used to its endth degree but even send simple telepathic messages. Even if you have full potential, doesn't mean you have to use it at that level.
Since A is essentially exerting your will over someone else, think of it in terms of other application of exerting your will on something.


"It is a bit surreal," she says of the contrast between the chaos of a war zone and the pomp of an awards ceremony.
Damon is perhaps uniquely suited to cover the war for CNN -she is the quadrilingual, half-American granddaughter of former Syrian Prime Minister Muhsin al-Barazi. He was deposed and executed in 1949 during one the coups that wracked the early days of the independent Syrian state. She grew up in Morocco and Turkey, graduated from Skidmore College in New York, and began her career shortly after 9/11. At the time, she was working at a Turkish textile company, but in the face of the anti-Arab backlash taking hold of the country, she decided to dedicate her life to a higher purpose than hawking robes and carpets.
With little more than her ability to speak Arabic (and French, and Turkish), and an idealistic desire to foster understanding between the people of the East and the West, she went to Iraq as a journalist to cover the American occupation and subsequent insurgency there. Since then, she has reported from places such as Thailand, Libya, and Egypt. And now she's covering Syria -a place she had visited several times before the current crisis, but, despite her background, never considered her home. Her parents lived in Beirut after the coup, and she says that she and her family always thought of themselves as Arab more than Syrian.
Damon will be back there in ten days -where exactly, she's not quite sure. It depends on the situation on the ground and how easy it is to get across the border. So this is but another brief break in a decade-long career dominated by conflict and tragedy. Damon admits it can be overwhelming.
Check back here later for more from Arwa Damon. She took some time earlier to talk to FishbowlDC about her career, and had some great insights into the Syrian conflict and the nature of war reporting. We'll be posting that interview tomorrow morning.

What we learned against the New England Revolution: Gruezo is once again the glue
Breaking down the impact made (and lack thereof) by Gruezo, Badji, and Pomykal
By Jack Rouse Mar 3, 2019, 8:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: What we learned against the New England Revolution: Gruezo is once again the glue
Daniel McCullough
You're not going to catch me complaining after the first game of the season. There was too much to take in and be excited by to think negative thoughts. I feel like a kid that has just been set loose in Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
Who cares if some of it tastes like crap and can kill you? It's exciting and new.
Gruezo the cornerstone
If I had to wager on our midfield composition throughout the season, I would bet that Carlos Gruezo sees a lot more action than anyone else. He's by far the most experienced midfielder we have on the roster and he knows the system as well as anyone.
This game we saw him dropping back into the defense allowing Reggie Cannon and Ryan Hollingshead to get forward, but also allowing Hedges and Ziegler be more aggressive in their defending as well. Both of our center backs are aggressive players and good passers, so Gruezo covering for them allows them to go forward when they have the space and to focus more on winning back the ball instead of cutting passing lanes. This is going to allow the counter to flourish. If those guys can step up, win the ball, then send it down the field to Badji, who could hold it up, Barrios, who has shown he can be dangerous on his own, or to Mosquera who is our most creative player on the field.
I felt like this new system fits our personnel better. Oscar Pareja tried to force Gruezo into a much higher role than he was comfortable with and I'm much happier to see him sit deep and be able to clean up like he did earlier in his FCD career.
Badji's my boy
When we first traded for Dominque Badji, I found it a little hard to cheer for him. He felt like a poor return for a guy that, while he wanted to move on, meant a lot to FC Dallas fans and felt like the future of the club. It was frustrating when he didn't immediately perform and I think the emotions of the trade had a lot to do with the way we evaluated his play last season.
Now that we're an offseason removed from those events, I find myself really liking what Badji brings to the table. Yes, his performance has improved, but there are also confounding variables like a new coach. He's dropping deeper now and contributing in the hold up play instead of being isolated up top waiting for service (he did go missing for stretches this game).
MLSSOCCER.com
Those are some pretty deep touches for a striker and I dig it.
Pandemonium over Paxton
I find myself significantly less hyped about Paxton Pomykal than just about anyone else in the FC Dallas fan universe. In our staff predictions eight out of 14 picked Paxton to be the best U23 player on the roster. I found that surprising given that most of us felt that Reggie was a strong contender for MVP last season. I'm sorry but I don't think Paxton is going to be our MVP this year. In fact, I think the way we're set up tactically (after 1 game obviously) it makes sense for Jacori to be starting.
Luchi Gonzalez rotated all three midfielders around at times. Gruezo would drop deep and that would free up Acosta to have more of an attacking role. Hayes was consistently higher up the pitch, but at times dropped deeper than Paxton normally would. According to Carter's lineup notes, Pomykal was the last scratch from the 11. I would assume that means him and Jacori Hayes are neck and neck. Hayes is better suited to being shuffled in between the more advanced role and playing as a 6/8 hybrid. So, I don't have any problem with him getting the start here. Especially because you want to lean a bit on the conservative side for your first game. But I'm sure there are many that would disagree. Especially with how much the "play the kids" sentiment was played up this offseason.

More firms suspend U.K. property fund withdrawals
By Darren Lazarus
LONDON -- More big fund managers moved Wednesday to stop skittish investors from pulling their money out of U.K. property funds as shares of European banks touched their lowest level since 2012.
Henderson Global Investors, Columbia Threadneedle and Canada Life are the latest fund managers to stop investors from withdrawing money against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty following Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Henderson said Wednesday that it had temporarily suspended all trading in its GBP3.9 billion ($5.08 billion) Henderson UK Property PAIF and its feeder fund "due to exceptional liquidity pressures."
Columbia Threadneedle said it also had suspended dealings in its GBP1.4 billion Threadneedle UK Property Authorised Investment Fund and its feeder fund.
Canada Life said it had taken the decision to "immediately defer requests for withdrawals from our property funds."
Aberdeen Asset Management did a variation of the move. It said Wednesday that it was suspending trading in its property fund for 24 hours starting noon Wednesday, after which time an investor who wanted to withdraw would need to accept a 17% reduction. It said investors who on Wednesday sought to withdraw had until midday Thursday to recall the request.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Banks sector touched its lowest level since 2012 at one point Wednesday. It ended the day down 2.5%, bringing losses for the year to 34%.
In local-currency terms, Lloyds Banking Group PLC fell 6.8% on the day, putting it among the day's biggest losers. Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC fell 6.1% and Deutsche Bank AG fell 5.6% to its lowest close in at least 20 years. Analysts and investors said the two state-backed banks are heavily exposed to strife in the commercial-real-estate market.
The fresh moves by fund companies to suspend redemptions Wednesday came after Standard Life Investments, Aviva Investors and M&G Investments suspended trading on U.K. property funds earlier this week, after a sharp rise in redemptions that followed the EU referendum on June 23.
This means that half of the 10 largest U.K. property-fund managers have suspended trading temporarily. The Bank of England says open-ended property funds hold assets of GBP35 billion, amounting to about 7% of the commercial real estate in the U.K.
The other four largest funds investing in U.K. commercial property are managed by Kames Capital, Aberdeen Asset Management, Legal & General Investment Management, F&C and Royal London Asset Management.
LGIM and Royal London confirmed their funds are still trading. A spokeswoman for Royal London pointed to the fund's largely institutional client base and the fact that, unlike other funds in its class, it offers investors the chance to withdraw cash only once a month.
Kames and F&C didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Henderson said its decision Wednesday was aimed "to safeguard the interests of all investors."
"The decision was taken due to exceptional liquidity pressures on the funds, as a result of uncertainty following the EU Referendum and the recent suspension of other direct property funds," the company said.
Columbia Threadneedle said it wanted to ensure it can maintain a cash balance in the fund to meet requests from clients who wish to sell their shares.
"We have not been immune to the recent trend of retail outflows from the sector, and so far these requests have been met from the cash balance retained within the Threadneedle PAIF," the company said. "However, it is expected that these requests to sell will continue for the time being due to uncertainty in the market following the U.K. Referendum result."
The Stoxx Europe 600 Insurance sector fell 3.2% Wednesday, bringing year-to-date losses to 28%. The biggest losers were Aviva PLC, which slid 6.2% and Prudential PLC, which shed 4.3%.

Laser gum treatment is a type of treatment for periodontal disease that is completed using a dental laser. Our periodontist may recommend laser gum treatment if your smile is affected by periodontal disease. Also known as gum disease, periodontal disease is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria in plaque. As the plaque builds up on the teeth, the bacteria may cause inflammation and infection in the gums and supporting tissues. When left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and receding gums. Laser gum treatment is used to kill bacteria, remove infected tissue, and encourage the growth of healthy gum tissue. Through treatment, we strive to halt the progress of the disease and encourage the growth of healthy tissue.
We also use lasers to provide frenectomies. When the natural muscle attachments connecting the lips to the gum are too large, our periodontist can perform a frenectomy to surgically remove the muscle (called a frenulum) improve oral health. Frenectomies are also recommended for patients suffering from tongue-tie.

Q: Hiding/Showing DockWidgets in Qt 5 in Designer I'm developing an application with Qt, a framework with which I'm not at all familiar, and I'm attempting to hide and show a DockWidget that I created using designer.
Unlike many of the seemingly similar questions about hiding and showing dockwidgets in Qt is that I made my widget entirely with Qt Designer, so I don't know how to link much of the code I've found in these questions' answers. Essentially, I have no mention of a dockwidget in my *.cpp files, but I do in my .ui file.
How can I incorporate this Designer-created dockwidget into my code to make it visible and invisible?
Sorry for such a nooby question.
Thanks,
erip

A: Wenn you build your application, qmake generates h from your ui files. So for instance ui_dlg_about.ui is translated into a ui_dlg_about.h automatically. Usually in a folder calles GeneratedFiles or something like that. You can then create an acutal customisable dialog class which you use in your application by creating something along the following:
dlg_about.h
#include "ui_dlg_about.h"
#include <QDialog>

class dlg_about : public QDialog, protected Ui::ui_dlg_about
{
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
        dlg_about(QWidget* = 0);

    public slots:
        void toggle_dockwidget();
};

dlg_about.cpp
#include "dlg_about.h"

dlg_about::dlg_about(QWidget* parent) : QDialog(parent)
{
    setupUi(this);

    QObject::connect(this->somebutton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(toggle_dockwidget()));
}

void dlg_about::toggle_dockwidget()
{
    if(something){
        this->dockwidget->setVisible(true);
    }else{
        this->dockwidget->setVisible(false);
    }
}

It is also possible for your dialog to not be derived from ui_dlg_about but having it as a member:
dlg_about.h
#include "ui_dlg_about.h"
#include <QDialog>

class dlg_about : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
        dlg_about(QWidget* = 0);

    public slots:
        void toggle_dockwidget();

    protected:
        Ui::ui_dlg_about ui;
};

dlg_about.cpp
#include "dlg_about.h"

dlg_about::dlg_about(QWidget* parent) : QDialog(parent)
{
    setupUi(this->ui);

    QObject::connect(this->ui.somebutton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(toggle_dockwidget()));
}

Jochen Heß is a German programmer and video game composer, best known for the AdLib music for Rainbow Arts and The Art Department.
He started programming on a ZX Spectrum and wrote Atari 600XL and DOS routines and games for computer magazines from 1986 to 1989, sometimes with Ekkehard Heß. By July 1988, they had met Norbert Schmidt who wrote a machine language routine for their latest GW-BASIC game. By April 1989, Jochen Heß had moved to C and x86 assembly himself and was working as a freelance programmer.
The first known professional credit to all three is for Rock'n Roll (DOS). They seem to have shared the alias Palladix until 1992, then worked at the company Moonlight, then Parsec Entertainment Software from 1992 to 1993 and Freelance Development in 1993 and 1994.
On a few games, Jochen Heß also did additional programming, wrote manuals, dialog, and in case of Spheroids (DOS), game design with Schmidt. He seemed to prefer composing his own music, as almost all of the DOS games which he scored but were also available on other platforms have completely different music from the other versions. In much of his music, disco, jazz and medieval can be heard.
Jochen Heß co-developed Palladix Music System and used formats supported by it. A common element were bass and melody lines played on two slightly detuned voices.
In 1995, he switched to HMI with Dietmar Heß.

Secret works can always cross the times and become classics. The stories they carry have always been talked about, and the charisma will never be dissipated.
The story took place on a certain spring day more than a century ago. A young French painter named Seurat created a painting that became the most favorite and very mysterious art in the history. This masterpiece, Seurat spent a full two years. This painting depicts a sunny day on the Big Bowl Island in Onière, near Paris. The visitors gathered in the sun to rest between the trees on the riverside . There are some walks, some lying on the grass, some fishing on the river. On the foreground, a large dark green tone symbolizes the shadows, with the bright part of a yellow tone in between, which shows the strong sunshine of the afternoon and the grass is yellow-green. The sun shines through the woods, and the shadows projected on the grass are clearly defined by color. Red, white clothes, parasols and lawns all appear yellow as if they were steamy. The color points are intertwined with one another, giving us a effect of decorating with carpet. The characters on the paintings are also very ridiculous. One by one, they cannot see clearly their faces and features. Even the outline itself is blurred by the dots. It seems that everything is shadowy. The entire creative process of the painting is divided into four steps: setting the contrast between light and shade in sketches; sketching in colors; organizing the background based on sketches; and completing the manuscript in color points.
After looking at it more, it feels very mysterious, as if playing hide-and-seek with everyone. Whether it is space or human proportions, it is strange, but it has a wonderful totality. After careful calculation, there were 48 people, 8 boats, 3 dogs, and 1 monkey in the painting. The people on the bank seemed to enjoy a limited sunny afternoon. In the "Sunday afternoon on Big Bowl Island", when Seurat was only 24 years old, he was born into an affluent middle-class family. He supposedly would make many high-level friends and be cheerful. However, he was a discreet and restrained person, and even his friends felt it. He is profoundly unpredictable. For most people, he looks like an alien.
This work attracts me a lot, just thinking that the people inside may felt fretful due to so many people there at the same island.

Thanks for the overnight shipping. The flies arrived by 9 am. They are amazing. I don't know how you do it!!!
I shall be using them in Scotland the day after tomorrow.
Thank you I appreciate it. I just wanted to be honest with you. It is nice to not pay $1 to $2 dollars a fly.


No matter what your situation is in life, there is a good chance that right now, you are struggling to make money (and hang onto it). Salaries have been dropping in numerous professions, even in traditionally high-paying jobs. Automation is taking over other jobs. There simply is not enough work to go around.
That being the case, you are probably behind on your retirement savings. That does not mean though that there is not a chance you could still retire early. You simply need to take some steps now to try and get some extra cash.
What many people do not realize is that getting extra cash is not just about finding ways to make money—it is also about finding ways to save money. The old saying "a penny saved is a penny earned" has stuck around for a reason. For every penny you spend, you have to make up that penny before you can earn another. So you are constantly battling uphill. If you can hold onto more of your money, you have less to make up for before you start putting money away in your savings account.
Following are four suggestions to help you save and earn more money. All of these ideas can help you to get some extra cash now!
1. Start using financial management software.
Do you use financial management software? If not, why not? Many financial management software programs are free, and they can help you to save a ton of money by providing you with visualizations of your cash flow and expenditures. Tracking your net worth is the first step to increasing it. Plus, through a financial management program, you can invest, which is yet another way to make some extra cash.
What program should you use? While there are a lot of different software suites which can help you out, one of the most popular right now is Personal Capital.
2. Switch to a better credit card.
How high is the interest on your current credit card? What is the annual fee? Are there maintenance fees? What kinds of savings do you get through the card's rewards program?
Dealing with credit cards is always a pain, so it is easy to be tempted into complacency. But it is possible your credit card is costing you more money than it should, and not putting enough cash back in your wallet. If you suspect that may be the case, it is well worth your time to check into other credit cards.
3. Reduce bills and expenses.
One great way to get some extra cash back in your account is to stop spending it unnecessarily on your bills and expenses.
How much a month do you spend on groceries? Do you really need to spend that much, or could you save by cooking differently? What about your auto insurance and your car payments? How many thousands of dollars a year could you save by either downgrading your vehicle to an older model or switching to a different insurance carrier?
While it can be time-consuming to make major changes to your life, they can pay off within the same month you make them. Learning how to cook more soups and stews may take a lot of effort, but imagine spending $100 less on groceries this month. Switching to a new insurance carrier may entail hours on the phone, but picture saving another $100 or more there. That is all money that could go into your savings account!
4. Start an extra gig on the side.
If your day job is not paying you enough, it might be time to think about other ways you can earn. There are many different ideas for making extra money right now. Some are easy to get started with (e.g. signing up to watch videos and fill out surveys with a company like Swagbucks) while others take a significant investment of time, effort and luck. Taking this step may pay off in ways you cannot even predict, because it will make you an entrepreneur. The entrepreneurial mindset can open numerous doors of possibility.
We live in a world now where it is difficult to get by, much less thrive, even if you are highly motivated and have a traditionally high-paying career. Because that is true, you need to commit to doing everything you can to generate extra cash, whether that means taking on more work or cutting back on expenses you take for granted. That way you can make it to retirement on time, or maybe even early!

Vietnamese NA Chairwoman meets top Chinese Party and State leader
Saturday, 2019-07-13 11:50:34
NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan (left) meets with Chinese Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping (Source: VNA)
NDO/VNA - Chairwoman of the Vietnamese National Assembly (NA) Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan met with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and President of China, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on July 12, as part of her official visit to the country.
The two leaders confirmed they would coordinate to guide the two countries to promote people-to-people exchange, particularly between young generations, and continue upholding the cooperation results to further develop the friendship between China and Vietnam in a sustainable way.
The Chinese leader proposed localities of China and Vietnam in which to seek measures and coordinate to promote their cooperation.
Chairwoman Ngan proposed the governments of the two countries to intensify guidance on the implementation of high-level agreements reached between the two sides and foster the cooperation between Vietnam and China more effectively in all fields.
The two sides need to apply measures to help develop bilateral trade stably and sustainably, she said.
The Chairwoman proposed that China continues in creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese products to be exported to China.
Chairwoman Ngan said she wished the top Chinese leader would guide relevant sectors and ministries of China to work with Vietnam in implementing the consensus reached by leaders of the two Parties and the two countries to continue developing the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
She said Vietnam is ready to join hands with China in the settlement of the East Sea issue, creating a foundation for the sustainable and stable development of the relations between the two countries.
The two sides should continue to strictly observe the agreement on basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues reached by high-ranking leaders of the two countries while persistently addressing the East Sea issue through peaceful measures, based on mutual respect and in line with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982; effectively handle matters related to the fishing and activities of fishermen; maintain peace and stability in the East Sea; speed up the delimitation and cooperation for mutual development in accordance with the agreed roadmap, and strive to make breakthroughs in the negotiations on the delimitation of waters off the mouth of the Tonkin Gulf in 2020, the top legislator said.
The Chinese leader said that, as China and Vietnam are neighbours and have the same ideology, the two nations will coordinate together based on the constructive spirit.
The two countries should make every effort to further promote cooperation while restraining and controlling differences, he said.
The Chinese leader said China would be willing to cooperate with Vietnam in the field of economics and hoped that there would be some models for economic cooperation between the two countries in the future.
He spoke highly of the socio-economic development of Vietnam and expressed his delight that Vietnam had developed fine relations with other countries in the world, appreciating the position of Vietnam in the international arena.
Party General Secretary and President Xi highly evaluated the cooperation between the two legislatures, saying that the partnership contributes greatly to the enhancement and deepening of China-Vietnam relations.
The Chinese leader took this occasion to express his thanks to General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Nguyen Phu Trong for supporting the Chinese candidate for the post of Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. He also stressed that China backs Vietnam in its capacity as Chair of ASEAN in 2020.
He also conveyed regards to Party General Secretary and President Trong and extended an invitation to the top Vietnamese leader to visit China.
Chairwoman thanked China for its support for Vietnam's candidacy for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council in the 2020-2021 term and expected that China will back Vietnam's efforts to successfully take over the role.
On behalf of Vietnamese Party and State leaders, Chairwoman Ngan invited Party General Secretary and President Xi and other senior leaders of China to visit Vietnam in the near future. The top Chinese leader said he wants to re-visit Vietnam at a suitable time.

"Black Celebration sounds a bit morbid but it's a common thing. At the end of a working day you go out and drown your sorrows no matter how [shit] you feel or how bleak your future looks."
— Dave Gahan - Blitz, April 1986[1]
"We used some melodies from the original demo, some came about in the studio. Actually, [Daniel Miller] and I often felt there were too many counter-melodies and not enough space in the music."[2]
— Alan Wilder - SHUNT ARCHIVES Q&A : DEPECHE MODE : BLACK CELEBRATION
"The NME made the point that we were not adventurous enough. They said that we could pull more out of the bag, that we were actually quite lazy. That is true to a point, but it comes from the problem that as a democracy we always tend to end up with a compromise between the adventurous and conservative sides of the band."
— Alan Wilder - Blitz, April 1986[3]
Gahan discusses the reasoning behind the band's decision to record a third album at Hansa studios in a 1986 interview:
"I can't work in England anymore. It's funny. The studio is right next to the Berlin Wall but none of us has ever been to the East. Martin tried once but they refused him entry. Didn't like the way he was dressed. Thought he was a hooligan. People imagine we work here because it's wow, you know, really heavy, but I don't feel that. The place is quite suburban. Berlin's like Brixton. [...] Oh, yeah. [The cellar] is a bit weird, innit? I was down here doing the vocals for 'Shake The Disease' in the dark, last time we were here, and I was terrified. I had all noises in me headphones like whispers, and apparently sometimes you can see the shadow of a projectionist. It's a bit haunted, this studio."[4]
Gahan continues:
"[We] mainly [decided to record a third album at Hansa] because we're too lazy to find another studio! And we know when we come here that it's going to be good. It's probably one of the best studios in the world. Working in London, it's difficult to get into it because we just have so many people coming to see us. We don't go through a manager or anything. The four of us. We are the managers."[5]
— Dave Gahan - No. 1, February 1986.

8 Interesting Facts about James I.
FactsKing.com / Historical People / 8 Interesting Facts about James I
James I called himself the king of Great Britain. He was born in Scotland and died in England, being the first of the Stewart family to rule in both Scotland and England. He was an advocate of royal absolutism, which means the king rules absolutely. During his rule from 1603 to 1625, he clashed heavily with Parliament, the non-royal government force in England.
Let's get into some facts!
8 Interesting Facts About James I
1. He was the first to rule both Scotland and England
James I had another title, James VI. How could he be both James VI and James I? Easy, first he was king of Scotland as James VI, then he was king of England as James I. How did he become king of England after being king of Scotland? Curious today, aren't we? Queen Elizabeth I, the monarch of England at the time, passed away without a direct heir, and James I maneuvered himself into a place where he could inherit the crown.
2. He had a controversial rule
An interesting facdt about James I is that he was not the most popular or well-behaved King England has ever had. He was originally from Scotland, and so he was used to how the people of Scotland were, which was totally different than how the people of England were. They didn't like that he was Scottish, they didn't like his thick Scottish accent. He started a very unpopular tax on imports and exports, and used the money he got on fancy treats for himself.
Between 1612 and 1622, he only summoned the Parliament one time, and otherwise ruled all by himself. The people had no say in decisions. However, one thing that really ticked the people of England off was when James I made an alliance with Spain while England saw Spain as a bitter enemy.
3. He had "favorites"
On the list of many controversial practices James I had during his rule, one of the most interesting ones was the implementation of favourites. A favorite wasn't an official position, but they were certain people who James I treated with great favor, handing out gifts, honors, and official titles like duke or lord freely. Favorites had a lot of influence over James I's decisions, and he picked these favorites based on, well…attractiveness.
James I was a known gay man, and he would pick the men he found most attractive to be his favorites, a crazy fact about James I.
4. He suppressed anyone who differed with him
James I was not a good king if you wanted to practice religious freedom. He was a Puritain Christian, but his mother was a Catholic. Catholics in England were hoping that because of that, James I would be tolerant of Catholics. He was, sort of, until a group of Catholics tried to take over the English government, then all bets were off. At that point, James I continued the programs of Catholic suppression that were started by Queen Elizabeth I.
5. He commissioned a bible still popular today
James I was so insistent on having religion his way that he gathered a group of 47 scholars and paid for them to write a new translation of the Bible. This was known as the King James Bible, a translation which is still popular in some churches today for it's insight and poetic language.
6. He had an exciting childhood
When James was 8 months old, his father died when his house exploded. At one year old, Scottish rebel Lords forced James's mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, to give up the throne. As the direct heir to the throne, James became the King of Scotland as a one year old baby.
He was a fairly isolated child, kept safe in the castle. He was able to get a good education up until the age of 14. He learned several languages.
Apparently, though, he wasn't kept safe enough in the castle, because James I was kidnapped as a child, an interesting James I fact. His kidnappers forced him to publicly say he disagreed with a man who was his mentor at the time. In time, James I escaped, and started taking the rule of the country into his own hands.
7. His succession to the English throne didn't just happen
It wasn't a coincidence that James I is the one that ended up ascending to the English throne. At an early age, James realized that Queen Elizabeth didn't have any kids, and so didn't have a direct heir. He knew, if he played his cards right, he could gain Elizabeth's favor and become the King of England. Because of this, he always agreed with the Queen. Even when she ordered his mother be executed, he only argued with her a little bit. Clearly, James I got his payoff, but was it worth it?
8. He was a writer
He stands out among Kings by the fact that he left behind literature that he published. It wasn't very good, but he did write. His works included two political essays on the divine right of kings, as well as other political works and at least two books of poems, an interesting fact about James I.
King James I's legacy was…a mixed one. He did about as much good for his family's name as he did bad. He was seen as crude, rude, and selfish, taxing people directly when the Parliament wouldn't approve him spending large amounts of money on fancy but unnecessary things. In fact, he spent so much that James doubled the amount of debt England was in during the entirety of Elizabeth's rule during 4 years of peacetime. He was totally disconnected from the people he ruled and he didn't care, as long as he had his power.
However, he also made peace between England and Spain very quickly. He gave us a new Bible and did a lot of good for Scotland. James I died of old age in his favorite country home, and in his declining years, his son Prince Charles and the Duke of Buckingham made most of his decisions for him.

EBRD announces emergency trade finance support measures
Global	/ 18-03-20 / by Felix Thompson
New EU trading relationship 'greatest risk' for UK exporters
GTR's top 10 long reads of 2020
5 topics that shaped trade finance in 2020
Artis Finance takes aim at trade finance gap as traditional banks retreat
ADB launches Covid vaccine import facility
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has committed to providing "hundreds of millions" in trade finance support for companies struggling in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, part of an emergency €1bn support package.
The bank's shareholders, which includes the European Union and 69 countries from around the world, approved the proposals on Friday.
EBRD says it will provide emergency liquidity, working capital and trade finance to help existing clients cope with the fallout from the outbreak of Covid-19.
Since the turn of the year governmental attempts to stem the spread of the deadly virus have severely disrupted supply chains, not least since the Chinese government's moves to shutter of factories and close transport links.
Rudolf Putz, head of the EBRD's trade facilitation programme (TFP), tells GTR the bank will raise trade finance limits for banks that are already TFP partners. Priority will be given to those in Central Asia and south-east Europe, as these regions have been worst hit by supply chain disruptions.
Putz says: "Many importers in Central Asia just cross the border, load merchandise in China onto trucks and take it back over the border to neighbouring countries like Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. All of a sudden these transport routes are blocked, so in these countries, importers have to look for new supply chains and supply sources, and they have to place orders over much larger distances."
He adds: "When these borders are now closed and the transport takes much longer, there will be an increased demand for trade finance, and such demand can often only be financed by banks."
Another challenge is that importers are forced to keep stocks high during times of crisis, due to the increased time it can take to process orders.
The move comes a couple weeks after the International Finance Corporation (IFC) announced it would put billions towards helping countries cope with the economic fallout from Covid-19, and work with commercial bank clients to expand trade finance and working capital lines.
Meanwhile the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) warned last week that the rapid spread of Covid-19 could impact global GDP by US$1-2tn over the course of the year.
Richard Kozul-Wright, director of UNCTAD's division on globalisation and development strategies, said: "We envisage a slowdown in the global economy to under 2% for this year, and that will probably cost in the order of US$1tn, compared with what people were forecasting back in September."

Our Fine Dead Sea Salt variety is white in color and has a grainy consistency, similar to that of raw sugar. The rough nature of the salt lends itself to skin scrubs (exfoliation) and can also be used with Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate). We recommend you try Dead Sea Salt as a body scrub or just as a relaxing additive to your baths.
In a small bowl, mix 6 drops Tangerine, 6 drops Grapefruit Pink, and 6 drops Mandarin Essential Oils with 1 tablespoon of honey into 2 cups Dead Sea Mineral Salts. Hop into the bath water and wet your body - don't make the water too hot or you will get sleepy and relaxed rather than refreshed! Stand while in the bath, and take a handful of the salt mixture at a time and scrub down your entire body. Let the mixture fall down into the tub. Soak for no more than 20 minutes, as this mixture is to refresh and rejuvenate you. Don't forget to moisturize your skin afterwards!
Excellent product for making bath soaks AND salt scrubs. For soaks, I add a few shakes of lavender essential oil to 4 cups of salt. For salt scrub, I add sweet almond oil to get the right consistency (less is better) OR I liquefy coconut oil and add that, then mix in the lavender essential oil. Very popular Xmas gifts this year! I also tried making scrubs with locally purchased epsom salts. Don't waste your time. Epsom salts are too fine, they dissolve in the oils, and they provide unsatisfactory exfoliation. The 8.8 lb size comes in a roughly 12" tall, 6" diameter, white plastic jar. The 55 lb size comes in a plastic lined, woven plastic bag, and is VERY heavy. It ships in a box, which may be ripped by the time it arrives at your home. However, if you are making many gifts with the salt, this is a better value.
I love this dead sea salt. I use it to make my dead sea salt scrubs! Love the packaging and the quality, and also the service here at NDA!
I love this product!!! I use it in body scrubs and lotions. It has wonderful healing properties, and is great for individuals with eczema. As someone stated the granules are larger then one would expect from a fine grind, but I do not mind.
It's been awhile since I've ordered this from NW, so I was very very surprised when my order came and saw a considerable amount of chucks, almost the size of my fingernail. What happened to the "original" fine salt? This is should not be classified as a "fine salt", but rather a "course salt". If that. The consistency is inconsistent so I would only use this for a bath soak, not a body scrub. I must say I'm very surprised.
I haven't tried the salt yet because of it's color. It looks white in the picture but it is pale beige..
I am an inexperienced soap/spa/cosmetics maker and this was a great place to start. I added some french lavender essential oil from NDA and mixed with the salt for gifts. I had a hard time deciding between the coarse or fine, but the fine worked perfectly for what I was looking for. Highly recommend and will order again.
I made bath salts for the Sunday School class that I teach. I used this product with dendritic salt and fine epsom salt. I tried it, and it was awesome!
Beautiful salts, they look exactly as pictured, whitish clear with some yellow/brown tinted pieces. From other reviews I knew before I bought it that this salt would be relatively coarse, so it's just what I was expecting. I think NDA makes a mistake in saying the consistency is similar to table salt, but perhaps some batches are finer. A few months ago I mixed this with baking soda and regular sea salt and some essential oils to make really nice bath salts and was surprised last week to find that after the jar had been sitting unused for a few months under my bed, all the dead sea crystals had dissolved and the salts are now moist and clumped together. I don't know why it happened, and I don't think the salts are totally ruined, but it's something to keep in mind.
Picked this up and it was worth the drive, since they are closer to me now! The size is amazing and the value, very hard to beat.
Used these salts for the first time and totally enjoyed them. The salts dissolved really fast and were just wonderful with the EOs. Will be getting more for sure.
Just had to write to update. I ground down a little finer and it was PERFECT! Mixed with a little avocado and/or Rice bran oil, it makes the best salt scrub I have ever experienced!
I just made my first salt scrub with this and it is amazing! Mixed with some essential oils, hemp oil and crushed hibiscus flowers, this will be a part of my weekly winter skin treatment. Great for gifts too!
These salts are wonderful, and they smell so fresh on their own that I sometimes use them without EO's... Of course blending is the fun part, and so far I've made 4 different types of bath salts...My favorite is a Detox blend with Patchouli, 5 fold Lemon, Basil & Juniper Berry....Smells so good and relaxing too.
This salt is perfect for an invigorating scrub. I use it along with sesame or grapeseed oil and my favorite Essential Oils for an refreshing exfoliation.
A bit chunkier than I expected, but a good quality for bath soaks.
When I opened my jars of Dead Sea Salt I was surprised at first to find moisture! But then while I was perusing the NDA forums it is the brine from the sea salt that makes it seem a little soft to the touch. But sea water is just as 'nutritious' as the concentrated salt itself. Nice fine texture, perfect for homemade body polishes which is exactly what I plan to do with mine!
These salt have worked great in my scrubs and bath salts. I will continue with this line for my products. They feel so clean!
This stuff is good. Check out the carrier oils and mix away. I like the almond oil, but just use a bit. The skin will collect the oil in a pretty dry mix. Then I also feel like I am getting the exfoliating and detoxifying benefits more stongly. Just a wonderful salt glow! My favorite scent mix so far is Lemon, Lavender, and Vanilla. I swear it's what sunshine would smell like if you could bottle it!
WOW, These are great! I love to mix these with baking soda and epson salts, along with my new best friend...Lavender French, for a muscle relaxing and mind soothing bath soak. Just wonderful!
Wonderful product, I use these salts regularly now and wouldn't want to be with out this product. The price is also a plus, geat price when you purchase the big bag!!
I really love these salts! The consistency is nice and works well in bath salts and body scrubs. Its at a great price point too!
I think it is awesome that I have found a reliable source for the Dead Sea salts. I love this salt! I have used them in baths and in masks as well. I will be making a body scrub soon and will be using the fine salts. My mask is used for a face application so as it was nice to use the salt. I did put it through the blender first, just to give it a delicate consistency that is maybe gentler considering the application.
This is an excellent salt. I tested it on my "guinea pigs" and it is a hit. Makes a very high end product mixed with essential oils.
This is top quality dead sea salt for an incredible price. Its perfect for my bath salts!
I have used this in a bath salt creation that is, with the addition of this ingredient, nothing short of pure decadence. I am a nurse, and I find my job extremely stressful at times. This makes taking a bath very luxurious and relaxing, and afterwards my skin is so soft and smooth that even my teenage son notices. Wonderful product.
I love this product I soak in it every day. Mix with essential oils leaves the skin feeling soft, and takes away any aches and pains.
I would not call this a fine consistancy, you can\'t use this in a body scrub without milling it a little further. I would call this medium consistancy, great for bath salts. It\'s a shame too, I was really waiting for this to be re-stocked so I could make scrubs with it.
Most of the Companies selling Dead Sea Mineral Salts are buying from commercial outlets. We purchase directly from Jordan, and in some cases, the grains will be of varying size. The current lot of Fine Dead Sea Mineral Salt is significantly more fine than the Coarse variety.

Six Things You Need to Know About New York's Blue Wave
Dr. Gerald Benjamin of the Benjamin Center has written or edited more than a dozen books on the workings of New York State government and politics. In light of historic changes in the balance of power in New York State on Tuesday, it seemed all-too-obvious to get Benjamin's quick take on what has happened and what it means for New York's voters.
Next Wednesday, November 15th, Benjamin will co-lead a conversation at the State Academy for Public Administration in Albany on this topic. But ahead of that event here's Benjamin's framing.
The Most Important, Least-Discussed "Win" for Democrats
Benjamin said the statewide majority in the Senate, retention of the Governorship by Cuomo, and the firm grip on the Assembly is a precursor to retaining control of all three branches in 2020 and controlling redistricting. "We had a constitutional amendment to mitigate partisanship and redistricting. But the final say remains with legislators." Consequently, he said, we can be sure that Democratic control will be cemented in both houses, and congressional districts will be redesigned to favor them.
However, speaking on WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show Wednesday, Senators Michael Gianaris and Liz Krueger said they're not happy with the redistricting amendment. "It was really nothing more than an awful political outcome," Gianaris said. "The Republicans made sure that they ingrained an unfair process in the state Constitution." Kreuger pointed out that, given the state's party alignment, Democrats would still secure their majorities without the level of gerrymandering that exists today. "You can do redistricting independently and fairly and you're still going to end up with more Democratic Senate seats because the gerrymandering has been so unfair for so many decades."
How many decades?
The End of Cheap Water
Aging Infrastructure is Driving Up Costs in the Hudson Valley
New York State has some of the oldest water and sewer networks in the country. But unlike roads and bridges, where we see the direct effects of what that means (like an axle-smashing pothole that causes accidents and lawsuits), leaking pipes are underground. We know that sometimes the water coming out of our faucets can be rusty or brown, that water main breaks can unexpectedly disrupt our commutes or errands, and that our water bills may have slowly increased through the years. But despite these impacts on our daily lives, we rarely recognize the connection to our aging infrastructure.
Or, as is the case in Flint, Michigan, and Newburgh, New York, we only know there's a dire problem after the fact, when the water turns out to be poisonous.
