Law Commission's preferred approach to division of property on separation
In November 2018, the Law Commission published a second Issues Paper in its review of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976. The paper outlines the Commission's preferred approach to reform of the Act and the recommendations it intends to make to the Government when it reports to the Minister in June 2019. The paper sets out a package of reforms designed to achieve a law that meets most New Zealander's expectations of fairness when a couple separates.
Reflecting the widespread interest New Zealanders have in this law, the paper received significant media coverage, including an RNZ interview by Kathryn Ryan with the Law Commissioner leading the review, Helen McQueen and Auckland Family lawyer Jeremy Sutton, and an extensive article in The Listener by Donna Chisholm.
Key proposals in the paper include:
The full value of the family home should no longer always be shared. Instead, if one partner owned the home before the relationship, only the increase in value during the relationship should be shared. The full value of homes acquired during the relationship would still be shared equally.
People who have children, have been together for 10 years or more, or who have built or sacrificed careers because of the relationship should be eligible for Family Income Sharing Arrangements of "FISAs". Under a FISA, the partners would be required to share their combined income for a limited period after they separate, to ensure the economic advantages and disadvantages of the relationship are shared more fairly.
A court should have greater powers to share trust property when a trust holds property that was produced, preserved or enhanced by the relationship.
Children's best interests should be given greater priority under the PRA.
A range of measures should be adopted to promote the just and efficient resolution of PRA matters and to address behaviour that causes delay and increases costs, including making sure proper disclosure of all relevant information is given. A comprehensive information guide for separating partners that explains the law and provides information about the different options available for resolving a dispute should be available.
The Law Commission received 100 submissions on its preferred approach. The Law Commission team is now completing its final report. It intends to give the final report to the Minister on 28 June 2019.

Saw this new movie "Smart People" and while it's not outright awful, I couldn't really recommend it. If that's what's knocking 'em dead at Sundance then the movie biz be in big trubb.
On Sunday mornings, I'm prone to listening to the religious programmes on BBC Scotland. Semi-related to that, Father John Fitzsimmons presented a greetings programme that was somewhat old school but he came across as an affable curmudgeon. He also appeared a talking head to offer opinions during news, current and not-so-current affairs.
Anyway, sadly he passed away at the weekend there at age 68. He always projected being older and wiser than that less than ripe old age.
The guy was never afraid to stick his head above the parapet, earning himself a controversial tag for the trouble but I always liked to listen to him talk irrespective of the subject. My own considerations of all religion being tosh notwithstanding, Radio Scotland has lost a great character which they can ill-afford at the minute.
My granny used to tell a story about a minister telling her that I'd maybe become a minister. Imagine her horror when that calling came in the form of rock'n'roll but anyway… My sense of spirituality might be a little skewed at times but it's generally sincere. I think you folks would have dug this guy whether you agreed with him or not. Irrespective of persuasion.
Later today I have the dentist. I'm looking forward to that a bit more than where I'm just about to leave for but a lifestyle has to be maintained. Has it not?

Brough Before Superior
|In Motorcycles
|By Paul d'Orléans
They're at the top of the money tree today, as evidenced by filling 2 of our 'World's Most Expensive Motorcycles' spots. It's a status George Brough would have loved, as his Brough Superiors were the most expensive motorcycle in the world when they were new. In today's Gilded Age, the super-rich are happy to write checks for half a Million dollars for an SS100…because it takes 20 or 30 times that to buy a car of similar status. Whether George's bikes were truly 'superior' to his rival's machines is open to argument, but the truth is, a 1920s Zenith big twin with a JAP KTOR racing engine would likely sell for more than a Brough Superior today, simply because they're far more rare, and have a better record as track-racing machines. Nonetheless, the renown of the Brough Superior is a reflection of several qualities George possessed in abundance; he was a superb rider, one of the best motorcycle stylists in the history of the industry, and equally important, he was simply a genius at PR.
My favorite shot of William E Brough, father of George Brough, enjoying a beer in his retirement, in 1927 [Brough Superior]
But George didn't emerge fully-formed from the head of Zeus; his father, W.E. Brough, was also a motorcycle manufacturer of great renown, and an engineer of some skill, who built his own engines, among other things – something his son rarely did. Some might say William Brough was a Real motorcycle maker, while his son was a clever assembler of components, but the rules in those early years were different than the post-WW2 era, and most manufacturers used bought-in components (engines, gearboxes, wheels, forks, etc) to assemble their machines. The arrangement of a machine's frame and tinware created a marque's 'identity', of equally validity to a marque which made its own engines and gearboxes. This was in large part due to supplies of 'loose' sporting engines by JAP, MAG, Rudge, etc, which had performance on par with any other engine. By the mid-30s, when such engines were no longer competitive in racing, they quickly lost favor with manufacturers; even Brough Superior switched from JAP to AMC V-twin engines, which were hardly sporting, but were sophisticated and reliable, and thus Broughs became Grand Tourers in the end. Other marques relying on purchased motors either disappeared, or built their own engines, and after WW2, the era of the bought-in engine was over.
Young George Brough just after winning the London-Edinburgh race for the third time on one of his father's machines, a single cylinder 500cc Brough. Yes, George could ride, and his father's bike was reliable [Brough Superior]
William E. Brough emerged in the Pioneer era of motorcycling, and was a perfect example of a Victorian engineer; innovative, a clever designer with high standards, and modest. He built his motorcycle in 1902, and his first production machines appeared in 1908, which were well-built and conventional, with a standard of fit and finish to rival top-tier competitors Sunbeam and AJS. He used single-cylinder and V-twin engines, but was later convinced of the rightness of the flat-twin engine, which was vibration-free. In the early 1920s, Douglas flat-twins emerged as serious speed machines, and in 1922 a Douglas was the first motorcycle to record 100mph in Britain (with Cyril Pullin aboard), so Brough's move to this engine type was timely.
A Brough catalog shot of their 500cc flat-twin ca.1922 [Brough Superior]
Dave Clark, a well-known Brough Superior enthusiast of many years' standing, found a unique example of a W.E. Brough Model W engine at the Spring 2012 Bonhams Stafford auction, and here relates the tale of creating a motorcycle around his purchase. I've edited his account for brevity – there's a lot more technical information about building his own 'D' section frame tubing and making lugs etc, which can be found via the Brough Superior Club newsletter, or via Dave himself.
George and Mrs Brough – his mother! Aboard a V-twin Brough with wicker sidecar [Brough Superior]
A BROUGH REBORN by Dave Clark
"I usually look through auction catalogues to see if any Broughs are listed, and the Bonhams Stafford October 2012 catalogue had Brough Superiors, but I hadn't given much thought to the OHV 500cc flat twin W E Brough engine listed in the automobilia section. "Good external condition, and turning over with some compression."
Dave Clark with his restored 1922 Model WS Brough [Dave Clark]
I looked again and noted that the engine had no number; I've dealt with several W E Broughs, and knew where the engine number should be. With interest growing I rang Bonhams, who confirmed no number anywhere, and the bike was from the granddaughter of a Brough factory electrician. The only person who might know something was Barry Robinson; I had hardly finished the story when he told me exactly what the engine was – a factory works racer which had been on display in the Brough Superior factory canteen, after being cosmetically restored by Ron Storey. It was the only WE Brough factory racing engine known, and anyway there are only 14 W E Broughs on the BS Club register.
From the Nov 20, 1922 edition of The Motor Cycle, a photo of the Model WS Brough 500cc flat twin of exactly the type restored by Dave Clark [The Motor Cycle]
I could never think of buying a Brough 'Superior' racing engine – I would be blown out of the water by big money collectors. But I asked everyone I'd spoken with to please keep this information quiet. Initially I thought a maximum bid of £6000 would suffice, but I set my bidding increments on a spreadsheet, and could see the final totals with commission and VAT. I registered with Bonhams for phone bidding; came the day and I was watching the auction online, and finally got the phone call…Lot number 11 came up… bidding started at £10,000. Going up in £500 steps, by the time it had got to £14,000, I was literally shaking with excitement, or was it fear? The bids kept going and at £16,500 I went for one last bid, to £17000. I heard the auction room go very quiet, and then the wonderful sound of the hammer. The Bonhams chap on the other end of the phone said, "We've got it."
The Model WS Brough engine as seen in the Bonhams Stafford sale catalog [Bonhams]
Also I had taken a real step in the unknown, what if the engine internals had major problems? I collected the engine from the Bonhams depot in North London, and spent time looking it over; eventually I took off the front head and cylinder for a peek inside – and had a wonderful surprise – standard bores, plus the crank and rods were quite highly polished; it all looked good.
The very engine – at George Brough's feet! Here on the display from the Brough Superior engineering works' canteen in the 1950s, when motorcycles were no longer made, but the factory did specialist machine work. The bike is, of course, the prototype Brough Superior 'Golden Dream' flat-four cylinder 1000cc tourer (Colleen Edwards aboard) [Dave Clark]
Barry Robinson kindly sent a 1923 Model W catalogue photo, and a finely detailed 1922 picture of a similar machine. The 1922 machine had 26"x 2.75" wheels, the other 26" x 3". Howard Wilcox also gave me a catalogue reprint; I then scanned the model W photograph found in Ron Clark's book 'The Rolls Royce of Motorcycles'. These few photos were all I had, there was no chance whatsoever of finding correct frame; I would have to build one.
What we have come to! A steering head lug from a Brough motorcycle, recovered from the demolished concrete foundation of the Brough Superior works, when the grounds were built over as housing units [Dave Clark]
Still, John Wallis provided a genuine Brough steering head casting! This had been used as scrap-fill for the concrete extension to the Vernon Road works in the 1930s, probably after William Brough died. In the 1980s, Mike Edwards was at Vernon Road, when part of the site had been sold off to build houses, in what is now Kingfisher Court. The yard was being broken up, and various castings emerged from their concrete tomb, mostly Brough Model G steering heads, but there were flywheels and a cylinder too, and my Model W steering head.
Laying out tubing over a life-size frame drawing, developed by enlarging period photographs to life size, using 'known' measurements as a guide (wheel diameter, engine width, etc) [Dave Clark]
To replicate the frame, I scanned the 1922 image into Photoshop, tweaked it to remove distortion, then drew it up life-size on white board. I was able to check known measurements (the engine, gearbox and wheels) as I gradually built up the drawing, which occupied many hours, scratching my head over the details in between the gearbox and the rear wheel. I kept a pad by my bed and woke during the night quite a few times to scribble down possible solutions; I probably redrew the gearbox/frame part at least 6 times, when I realised a measurement or some other requirement had not been taken into account.
A 1922 photo of the Brough racing team – Freddie Stevenson in the center, whose machine almost certainly housed the Model WS engine. The other two riders are Brough agents [Dave Clark]
One aspect of my frame showed clearly in the picture from Ron's book; the saddle tube lug forks into two, totally unlike any other WE Brough frame. That Model W, registration AU 6012, was ridden by Freddy Stevenson in the 1922 Edinburgh trial.
The timing chest of the Model WS Brough, showing the lovely Victorian script of the logo [Dave Clark]
I had to make everything; the frame, the D-shaped tubing to build the frame, the lugs, the Druid side-spring forks, the exhaust pipes, the saddle, the chainguards, tool boxes, etc. The petrol tank is quite unlike any other Brough, and I suspect George Brough influenced its design [George is generally credited with introducing the 'saddle' tank we know today – pd'o]. It has an oval-section body, with tapered tails and what I can only describe as a shark-type nose piece. When all the components were built, after a considerable time, or so it seemed, all the parts were back from the painters and the platers. Assembly went quickly, and I only needed to file a shallow scallop in the offside rear engine plate to clear the exhaust pipe.
The frame as it took shape, with the crankcase in place [Dave Clark]
The controls are different from original; I used a Bowden quadrant-type for the front brake, and an Amal internal twistgrip for the throttle. A firm in called Motomania in Czecho makes excellent quality repro levers; you can find them on the internet (www.motomaniastore.com). I had made all the cables and chains before things went away for plating; eventually I wheeled the bike outside, filled it with petrol and oil, and primed the oiling system. I flooded it, and run-and-bumped down the garden path. I got some hiccoughs showing it was going to fire, and eventually it did, but not too well. Checking everything over, I readjusted the tappets – still not good.
Progress, as the tank and engine are assembled [Dave Clark]
Perhaps the Amac carburetor? I built up a type 6 Amal from new bits; next try it went! It was very noisy with straight-through pipes, and it started to smoke….I tried to leave as much original kit inside the engine as possible, but the original rings needed to go. The heads and cylinders can be taken off with the motor in the frame; I had new rings installed in just under two hours. Starting was much improved…I just need to quieten it down a bit. Next on the agenda is the Kop Hillclimb at the end of September. Probably the last time a W.E. Brough ran up Kop was in 1922, when a team from Nottingham competed in the ACU quarterly trial. And that will be about it for this year. The Brough is indoors for the winter, so I can sit on a crate and look at it.
Starting to look like a motorcycle… [Dave Clark]
To quote the Motor Cycle review for the 1922 Olympia show, "The model in question is one of the best-looking machines in the show, having a nickel-plated tank with rounded corners and of course the long separate exhaust pipes ending in an aluminum fishtail, which all good sporting models should have." The Brough Model W is very low, with a saddle height just under 29" and the weight is less than 200 pounds. All the effort has been worthwhile, and those who have seen it think it stunning [as do I – pd'o]. One thing, it will never leave these shores while I am still about."
The completed machine – quite a looker! [Dave Clark]

That is certainly the fun way to get the bike of your dreams. Great effort Mr. Clark with that frame! I had heard a little bit about it last summer via the BS spares guys, and it turned out very well. Congratulations.

Killer story, thanks for publishing this Paul. Clever restoration and a very interesting and attractive machine.

Paul: With the incredible length of the inline twin, I'm curious about the wheel base? With the huge front rake it would also have made a dashing desert racer!

Paul, According to Dr.Joseph Bayley in his book "The Vintage Years at Brooklands" the first bike to achieve 100 mph in Britain was a Harley ridden by D.H.Davidson Thursday 28th April 1921( 100.76 mph) followed a day later by H le Vack at 106.52 on his ancient 1911 big base 8 valve nicknamed "the camel" The Douglas may have been the first "British" bike to achieve 100 mph on home turf but not the first bike. Cheers, Barry
Paul, A Harley was the first bike to attain a speed of over 100 mph on British soil,( 100.76 mph 28TH April 1921) followed a day later by leVack on a 1911 big base Indian 8 valve at 106.52 mph. In 1922 the Douglas was the first British ( 500cc) bike to achieve to break the ton on British soil. Cheers, Barry

Amazing project…well done Dave Clark.
David Blasco
Amazing article on the Brough recreation with the racing motor. What a wonder people are. We try to imagine who created the Shroud of Turin, and how, and here is your answer: the almost holy dedication of humans to the works they love.
Great story – I'd love to read a longer version with more technical details re lugs etc, but haven't spotted one. A question though – this has been referred to as a restoration, but surely it's a replica, no? I have an original Brough Superior engine which I'm in the process of having a brand new frame made – my bike will have 1920s original forks, original 20s BS everything else really (tank, gearbox, hubs, mag, carb, you name it) yet it will always be considered a replica, and lord knows how I'll ever get it registered for the road. So I'm curious how this very talented gentleman's machine, built from scratch as it is around a mainly original engine, can be considered anything but a replica also…
I don't call it a replica,it is a recreation.I had alot of fun making it. It resides in the house, too grand to keep in a shed. All lugs were fabricated. I wrote it up fully in the BS Club newsletter.My skills come from a long ago apprenticeship training as a Royal Navy Engine Room Artificer.If it breaks mid Atlantic you have to be able to cope with anything thrown at you.

Rallies against Trump immigration policy planned for central Maine
By Rachel Ohm, Morning Sentinel Staff Writer
Rallies in Auburn, Farmington, Augusta and other Maine cities are planned this weekend as part of a nationwide protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies and to show support for immigrants.
Across the country, more than 600 events are being planned as part of Families Belong Together hosted by MoveOn.org.
"We want a humane and compassionate law to deal with the immigration situation," said Eileen Liddy, a member the Western Mountains Peace Action Workshop and an organizer of the Farmington event. "What the president did was only temporary. You can only keep children in jails for 20 days and then you will have to separate them. It's a stopgap thing."
Liddy was referring to Trump's executive order last week calling for an end to the separation of children and their parents who cross the southern U.S. border illegally and seeking to extend the number of days children can legally be kept in detention centers.
Families Belong Together rallies were organized amid public outcry over the increase of separations under Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy, which seeks to prosecute as many illegal border crossings as possible.
A federal judge Tuesday ordered the administration to reunite those who had been separated, but Liddy and other Families Belong Together organizers said they will still hold events Saturday.
"A federal judge ruled against Trump's family separation policy — but we know the administration will fight back," read a post on the event's main website. "We have momentum and we cannot slow down now since the court ruling alone isn't enough and could be overturned.
"Our mobilization, in over 600 locations around the country, and still growing, is critical to showing the widespread public demand for just immigration policies — because families belong together … and free!"
Advocates across Maine have said Trump's policies, including the zero-tolerance policy and its implications for families, have sent a message that America is not a welcoming place for immigrants and has led to an increase in fear and confusion, including among asylum-seekers.
Immigration reform has also been the subject of recent attention in Waterville after Lexius St. Martin, a Haitian who came to the U.S. legally as a child refugee, was deported in February on a 2008 order for violating his immigration status with a drug trafficking conviction.
St. Martin's story of how he fell in love with a Maine woman, turned his life around and started his own cleaning business prompted about 100 people to rally outside Waterville City Hall shortly before his deportation and call for more compassion in immigration cases.
His attorney, Evan Fisher, said this week he is working on an effort to have St. Martin, a father of three, pardoned and brought back to the U.S.
This weekend's events are among a few that will take place across Maine, including in Bangor, Portland, Brunswick and Bath.
In Lewiston-Auburn, the event will take place at 5 p.m. Saturday on the Auburn side of the Longley Bridge.
The Farmington event will take place at 10 a.m. outside the Farmington Post Office.
In Augusta, organizer Alicia Barnes said the hope is to keep the event positive and focused on showing support for immigrants.
"We're against what's been happening, but to me protesting is kind of like complaining," Barnes said. "We want to figure out ways we can actually change what's happening and I think that's where these rallies are useful. It's a way of getting people together who are on the same page but wouldn't normally be discussing this stuff."
In Brunswick it will be at 11 a.m. Saturday on the town mall, and on the same day and time in Bath in front of the Customs House on Front Street.
Participants in all rallies are being asked to wear white as a show of solidarity, though Liddy said people should still come even if they don't have anything white to wear.
"We're in the (2nd Congressional District) and our representative doesn't respond well to anyone," she said, referring to U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, R-Maine. "We'd like to see more things like this in the 2nd District so he knows how widespread the opposition is to him going along with the current administration."
The Augusta rally is planned for 11 a.m. at the Maine State House. Barnes said the timing was planned so people can also attend the Portland's event at 3 p.m. at City Hall.
"I would encourage people to come and encourage them to be peaceful," Liddy said. "Considering the incivility that's been shown in the media, we want it to be peaceful and respectful to everybody."
Rallies scheduled
Lewiston-Auburn: 5 p.m. Saturday on the Auburn side of the Longley Bridge.
Farmington: 10 a.m. Saturday outside the Farmington Post Office.
Augusta: 11 a.m. Saturday at the State House.
Brunswick: 11 a.m. Saturday on the town mall.
Bath: 11 a.m. Saturday in front of the Customs House on Front Street.
Portland: 3 p.m. Saturday at City Hall.
The Rev. Carie Johnsen of the Unitarian Universalist Community Church in Augusta speaks at a rally about immigration June 7 in the State House Hall of Flags. Rallies in Augusta, Lewiston-Auburn, Farmington and other Maine cities this Saturday are part of a nationwide protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. (Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal)

Miura's new SIT-460
Miura Golf joined the 460 cc driver club with the announcement of the new SIT-460 driver and as with many of the items in the Miura lineup; it's a club with a difference. According to the company it has been crafted to give the appearance of a compact clubhead unlike the usual max-sized driver.
The SIT-460's ("Strong & Ideal Trajectory") titanium head is the result of the shaping by Shinei Miura, son of company founder and legendary club maker Katsuhiro Miura. The face is relatively taller, which increases the hitting area while allowing the other dimensions to be proportionately smaller thus gaining the advantages of being the largest clubhead size within the Rules of Golf.
The SIT-460 is 70 cc bigger than Miura's previous model, the Precious Edition 390 but the head actually weighs four grams less at 196 grams than the Precious Edition meaning there are additional shaft fitting options. The Miura SIT-460 is available in 9 degrees and 10.5 degrees in right-handed only at Miura dealers and carries a SRP of $595 depending on the shaft chosen. For more details go to www.MiuraGolf.com.

You have two questions here: 1) which golf club would be best to hit with at a dinvirg range and 2) which is a best driver for you.I think the best club to hit would be a 8 or 9 iron. The higher loft of the club will make your shots look a lot nicer , so you'll have a lot more fun, and you'll build up your confidence. As you get better, you can slowly start swinging the longer irons, which are a lot less forgiving. You'll begin to see your balls curve more to the right or left, and that's when you get to truly experience the frustration that we call golf.What driver is right for you? That's a whole nother question. Being a beginner, I don't really think it matters much. Buy one with a larger head (460 cc), since generally, those drivers are the most forgiving. If you get more serious about the game, you'll probably end up buying a driver of that size anyway (it's the largest clubhead that's allowed according to rules of golf).Actually though, as a beginner, I wouldn't worry too much about the driver for now especially at a dinvirg range. It's probably the hardest club to hit because of the low loft (8.5-13 degrees), so your mistakes will just be amplified with this club. Stick with the irons and have fun and build your confidence, then move down. If you do end up playing an actual round, get a 3-wood and tee off with that if you can't hit a 3-wood, you won't be able to hit driver.

A binge-drinking woman who took portion in a lesbian sex act in a public park has been told her behaviour was 'disgusting' by a judge.
In 1958, North's contract with 20th Century Fox ended. She moved on to act in other motion pictures and Television shows. She was nominated for an Emmy in 1976 for her functionality in an episode of Marcus Welby, MD, and once again in 1980 for her overall performance in an episode of Archie Bunker's Place. She continued functioning correct on by means of the 1980s, carrying out guest appearances in shows like The Golden Girls, where she was cast as Blanche's (Rue McClanahan's) sister, Virginia. In the 1990s she had a role on Seinfeld as Kramer's mother, exactly where she revealed his first name was Cosmo.
Producing your own alcohol is not exactly tough it is very easily produced when sugar is fermented by yeast (ordinary baking yeast is sufficient). So sugar and yeast added to nonalcoholic beers or to fruit juices will quickly ferment to make an alcoholic version. Fermentation normally requires 1-two weeks, and it requires another 2-3 weeks for the cloudiness to clear. Or so I am told, as this is strictly illegal.

Ever considering that it became the rule rather than the exception for ladies to work outdoors of the house, the problem of discrimination in the workplace has been a serious dilemma. Ladies have consistently been paid less and promoted significantly less typically than guys, and they have often been treated in a far more demeaning and significantly less professional manner than their male counter-parts. Regardless of possessing created significance gains toward workplace equality more than the last few decades, progress has recently been slowed or stalled. Though it's been more than 40 years given that the thought of female empowerment very first inspired a generation of females to seek independent, professional careers, they are still facing the situation of sexism in the workplace.

That didn't slow her down, however, and she continued to make appearances in a variety of series over the years.

Rhonda was hoping for a child girl. She'd browse by means of all the girl infant garments at the retailer, and favor the far more feminine-seeking infant quilt sets. Yet one evening she had a dream about her child. In the dream, she saw her baby soon right after it was born. A nurse was changing the baby's diaper, and to Rhonda's surprise, the baby was a boy.
I worked for many years, and like the mid-wife described wad the greatest joys I can remember. There's a lot of causes I wanted to travel, cash, weather but all in all was peace. Possessing lived and worked in London for more than 27 years, life was tiring, miserable and over-rated. The endless daily commute on UK public transports, buses, trains, tube – men and women sad and depressed except a handful of. The new shift of life to me was the best move I've ever accomplished. I lived with Arabs and with hand on heart, say that even there is a lot of who are described evil, I by no means saw no nonsense.

Textile trends of the future: what to expect in 2019
Jack Klaust 21/07/2017
With most of us looking to stay on trend when it comes to fashion, what can we expect to see in 2019? There are trends emerging that will translate into improved functionality of clothing. Combined with a drive to be more environmentally friendly, the sustainability and performance of fabric will shape fashion in 2019.
Recycled and bio-synthetic fabrics
New dyeing technology is transforming the clothing industry, with bio-synthetic processes being developed that will have much less of an impact on our environment. 100 per cent renewable plant-based dyes are being used increasingly, as are dyes made from left-over processes in the pharmaceutical industry. Recent technologies are also using less water, and bio-nylon will feature heavily in 2019. With synthetic processes being cleaned up and processes being developed to recycle old garments, our clothing will be renewable with a smaller carbon footprint.
With millennials seeking to improve their work-life balance, outdoor clothing is expected to be a major focus point in 2019. As a group with great spending power, their desire for sports apparel will be driving trends. Increased performance of materials will be a focus, with lightweight properties being promoted.
Outdoor wet weather clothing will also be a focus as part of this move for an outdoor lifestyle. Anticipate a major presence in outdoor weather coats made from recycled materials and clothing designed to support specific water sports, such as kayaking. This clothing will be developed to withstand the effects of salt and chlorine.
Lighter fabrics
With the emphasis on leisure, expect developments in lightweight multi-functional clothing. With an emphasis on creating a soft feel, these ranges will be adaptable and will place a strong emphasis on renewable and environmentally-friendly materials, such as wool and cotton. You will be able to buy natural …
Some Undesirable Tips That You Need to have To Hear
As my time in the mountains draws to a close, fall is genuinely ramping up (no ramps though, that is a Spring factor – how to forage sustainably for them can be read about right here ). Every single day brings brighter colors, each far more than a breath of wind brings a shower of leaves letting go, returning to earth to do what leaves do if you let them.

George David Woods (-) est un banquier américain. Il occupe la fonction de président de la Banque mondiale de janvier 1963 à mars 1968.

Biographie
Né à Boston dans le Massachusetts, Woods est employé de la société Harris, Forbes & Co. Complétant des cours de banquier le soir, il devient plus tard magasinier pour département de souscription. Il est promu vice-président à l'âge de 26 ans. En 1930, la firme est acquise par la Chase Bank et Woods devient vice-président de la nouvelle firme et, plus tard, vice-président et membre du conseil d'administration de la , un nouvelle compagnie de sécurité.

Avec les actions de Woods, la First Boston devient l'une des plus grande firme bancaire d'investissement aux États-Unis. En 1947, il devient l'un des deux vice-présidents exécutifs et occupe la fonction de président du comité exécutif l'année suivante. En 1951, il est président du conseil d'administration.

Banque mondiale
Woods œuvre à faire de la Banque mondiale une institution plus globale. Il met l'emphase sur la réduction de l'écart entre les riches et les pauvres et la réduction de la disparité entre le Nord et le Sud. Sous son administration, la Banque se concentre sur les analyses économiques afin de déterminer les causes de la croissance limitée dans les pays en développement et moins sur la solvabilité de ces pays.

Sous le mandat de Woods apparaît la Centre international pour le règlement des différends relatifs aux investissements (CIRDI) en mars 1965 afin de permettre d'offrir des moyens de conciliation et d'arbitrage.

Woods est aussi le président de la Banque mondiale au moment où un effort d'aide à l'Inde a été rendu nécessaire en raison de la dévaluation de la roupie en 1966.

Drive Engagement and Urgency With Google Ads Countdown Ads
Traditional discount and sales-specific ad copy have been a staple of many paid search campaigns since the dawn of search engines. From a business perspective, there's no better way to promote a discount than to show it to your consumers as they're searching for you (or any relevant search terms you're buying). Inversely, what consumer wouldn't want to save big on their favorite products when they're ready to make a purchase?
However, today's search engine results have become crowded with competitor ad copy and promotions can easily get lost in the shuffle. In response, advertisers should look to spice up their ad copy and trickle in a little extra flair that can go a long way in standing out. Enter the Google Ads countdown feature.
A Look at the Google Ads Countdown Feature
The Google Ads countdown feature grants advertisers the ability to insert a dynamic countdown where ads will automatically tick down the days/hours/seconds until the offer is no longer available to consumers. The countdown can be placed in either the headline or description line fields, though the headline is typically much more prominent. Let's take a look at two search ad examples below. Spot the difference between the two?
The search ad on the left is your traditional static search ad. It does a decent job of addressing the 25% off promotion. The ad on the right is an example of a dynamic countdown search ad. In the dynamic ad, we have the same emphasis on the 25% off promotion combined with a dynamically served end time for when the promotion is over. Instead of a static search ad that just announces the discount of the sale or tells consumers to "Shop Now!" or "Buy Online Today!," the dynamic countdown search ad creates a "FOMO factor" (fear of missing out) that motivates a consumer to act with a sense of urgency before the promotion is no longer available. Talk about a little flair!
We put the dynamic countdown ads to the test and were pleased with the results we saw. The ads proved their ability to improve both click-through rate and conversion value/revenue when compared to traditional, static variants. When testing with a Professional Hair Care client in 2020, we saw a nearly 4 percent lift in click-through rate relative to standard search ad formats for branded search alone. The most compelling result of our dynamic countdown testing was seeing a ROAS (return on ad spend) more than double that of the static variant ROAS (422 vs. 210), a clear indicator that users were influenced by the dynamic countdown ads and the ever-reliable "FOMO factor" the ads created.
Using the Google Ads Countdown Feature
Ready to put these ads to the test? Another added benefit of the countdown ad feature is that they are quick and easy to set up. While this feature can be utilized in both the Google Ad's Editor and online interface, we recommend using the interface so that you can see a preview in real-time. Follow the steps below to set these ads and add that extra flair to your paid search promotions!
Step One: When creating a new search ad in the Google Ads interface, simply type "{" into your desired field (headlines or description lines) to trigger the countdown pop-up tool:
Step Two: Be sure to specify the exact date that your countdown ad is ending and whether it will conclude at the start of the day (12 AM), the end of the day (11:59 PM), or a custom time throughout the day:
Step Three: Determine the time zone setting which ultimately dictates how the countdown ending will appear on the search results page based on either the ad account's time zone or the ad viewer's time zone:
Step Four: After all of the boxes have been checked, be sure to preview your new ad on the right side of the interface to ensure the copy is rendering properly. The tool typically defaults to showing "3 days." Once live, the countdown will start off by showing the remaining number of days, which will evolve into minutes, then eventually seconds as the end time gets closer.
Step Five: QA that your dynamic ads are no longer running after the promotion end-date. While the ads should stop serving after the selected end date, it never hurts to double-check just in case! The last thing anyone wants is to see an ad for a promotion that's already concluded which may deter the consumer from trusting any future promotional ads.
Start Counting Down to Conversions
And there you have it. As with anything that deals with consumer influence, use countdown ads RESPONSIBLY. Below are a few tips for how you can capitalize on your utilization of these dynamic countdown ads:
Factor in the FOMO
You do not need to put a countdown on everything. Your countdowns should be used to influence action vs. simply informing consumers of when the promotion is over. For example, a consumer seeing a dynamic ad that says "sale ends in 2 days" will react differently than a consumer seeing a dynamic ad that says "sale ends in 21 days." The latter example doesn't initiate the coveted "FOMO factor" because there's far too much time left until the sale expires and in response, a consumer may see "...ends in 21 days" and continue on with their browsing.
Static Search Ads + Dynamic Countdown Ads
Plan to utilize static search ads and work in the dynamic countdown ads when your sale or promotion has five days or less until it's over (note that the tool typically defaults to three days). This window will differ by industry, product, sale context so don't be afraid to experiment as you deal with scenarios such as seasonality (i.e. shorter sale period for Cyber Monday, longer sale period for the holiday season, etc.).
Don't Limit Yourself to Promotions or Sales
Dynamic countdown ads do not have to be limited to promotions or sales. The same tool can be used to countdown a product release or launch. For example, a retail shop can use the dynamic ads to countdown when the collection is available for purchase on the website. An independent filmmaker could use the dynamic ads to countdown to when their latest film is available for stream or purchase. The possibilities and use-cases for countdown ads are endless!
Get out there and start counting down to conversions (responsibly).

Unwanted Advances
Congress has joined several industries with the dubious honor of being rife with sexual misconduct (sexual assault, inappropriate advances, harassment, et al.) and, as with the tech industry and the entertainment industry, women (and men) are coming out of the woodwork to lay bare what's happened to them. Some of the accusations are surprising – et tu, Al Franken? George Takei? Some of them are not. Many of the responses are typical retorts of, "Not my guy!" Some are just depressing – Alabama's governor, Kay Ivey, is voting for Roy Moore because being a Republican is the most important thing to her and she can look past the allegations of sexual impropriety against him.
The NY Times has a recent podcast discussing this recent spate of scandals, and it's worth a listen. Unsurprisingly, none of this is news – harassment in Congress has been going on for decades, and everyone remembers the impeachment proceedings against then-President Bill Clinton and the Lewinsky scandal that came out of that. What IS new is that people feel emboldened to lay bare these problems and bring them to the forefront, yet we still see the same retorts of, "But it was so long ago," and "How do we even know this is true?" Well, we'll never be able to have an honest discussion about sexual assault or sexual harassment if we suppress victims when they make their accusations. "But what if they're lying?" But what if they aren't?
As described in the New York Times, the system in place to handle harassment claims in Congress is convoluted and serves to deter victims from coming forward.
"In more than 50 interviews, lawyers, lobbyists and former aides told The New York Times that sexual harassment has long been an occupational hazard for those operating in Washington politics, and victims on Capitol Hill are forced to go through far more burdensome avenues to seek redress than their counterparts in the private sector.
"Under federal law, complainants must undergo a confidential process, where co-workers who might be able to provide corroborating evidence are excluded. They often must wait about three months before submitting an official complaint, yet must file one no later than 180 days after the episode. Once filed, victims must submit to up to 30 days of mandatory counseling and complete another 30 days of mediation."
If you do manage to get your complaint in, good luck getting it taken seriously or even resolved.
So far, 2017 has been the year that everyone finally realized that there are no hallowed halls, and all of our heroes are problematic. Everyone's closet has a skeleton in it. So what do we do about it? I think Al Franken's call to have an ethics investigation into himself was a good start, but it doesn't hide the fact that what he did was wrong. (As with most investigations in Congress, it's likely to go nowhere, and is mostly for show.) Mitch McConnell likewise calling for Roy Moore to be immediately investigated on election is also a good start. But we have to do more and expect more – we can't sit back and say, "Well, all these things happened a long time ago so it's not a problem and we can ignore it." We have to make a stand and say, "We don't do that here. We don't allow those things to happen."
Even if you don't believe every accusation, it's just good practice to stand against sexual assault or harassment of any sort, and to have a system in place to investigate accusations (to either prove them true and punish the accused, or to show them as false and punish the accuser). Ignoring them or claiming any accusation is false only enables and emboldens predators.

500 Years of Reformation
It's been 500 years since Martin Luther inspired the Protestant Reformation by nailing his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg (you can read them online here). The world endured centuries of violence and persecution, but for the past several years it seems as though there have been more calls for unity and reconciliation. (My prediction: both of those are unlikely. Highly unlikely.)
I read about the reformation in grad school, and as someone who was raised in a mixed-religious household I was intensely aware of the ramifications of the theological split. Holidays are REALLY awkward when one parent is Protestant and the other is not (you kids wanna hear about the origins of the Coptic Church, aka the original and best church?). Most of us these days really can't relate and it all sounds like so much squabbling over details that don't matter as much as the core gospels. And in an era of Mega-churches and Feel-Good-Nondenominationalism, who even remembers why the churches were arguing anyway? For me, as a kid, it came down to churches that had snacks during the service, and churches that didn't. As I got older, Luther's arguments became more important to me on a personal level – why should I only pray to God for wealth? Why should I look for grace in the mundane world? Why should I put my faith in imperfect people who claim that they alone can grant me entrance to heaven?
But does this really mean anything for us now? WaPo has an intriguing article – more of a brief set of interviews, really – on the reformation and what it means for us today. Most of the responses have a similar undercurrent – return to a love of neighbor, to forgiveness, to opening up our hearts rather than closing off. The statement by Cardinal Blase Cupich seemed particularly salient: "Authentic Christianity never closes in on itself. It always leaves its comfort zone to listen to others, especially those shunted to the margins of society." And yet all we have to do is look at the latest headlines (or Twitter, or the comment section of literally any news article on the internet) to see that people would rather burrow in to their comfort zones in a kind of self-marginalization and closing off from new and different ideas that would pose challenges to ingrained beliefs. People don't want to be challenged – it's natural to resist challenges to the status quo and to resist change, because what's known is comfortable, reassuring, and consistent. But change is inevitable, with or without wholesale reformation.
500 years later, we haven't come up with any sort of unity, the Catholic Church hasn't fallen to give way to a glorious age of Protestant theology, the Orthodox Churches still haven't united with the other Churches, and Christianity as a whole seems even more divided than ever. But we do still feel the very real impact of the Reformation in the form of having access to our own Bibles, taking charge of our own spirituality, and, for better or worse, being able to choose where and how we worship (even if we choose to worship in the same arena that used to host Iron Maiden and basketball games).
Luther's arguments against the Medieval Catholic Church were probably (definitely) valid – buying your way into Heaven with papal favors defeats the purpose of having God send His Divine Son down from Heaven to act as a final sacrifice for our sins. Certainly murdering heretics wasn't the ideal response from either camp, but religious sects are still murdering each other, and they will likely continue to do so for as long as religion continues to exist. Likewise, political sects argue about the same kind of trivial details, arguing which details matter more or less and whether one detail is significant or not, and who gets to be in or out of the sect based on their belief pattern. Political thought, then, seems more like religious thought when you look at it. Perhaps we should start demanding more by nailing political theses to the doors of Congress or the State Legislature. Seems like we could use some political reformation these days.

Saturday Thoughts – Resiliency
We live in a society that places too much value on self-reliance, resilience, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. That's completely unrealistic and ignores the fact that humans are a social animal, that reliance on others is part of what creates and reinforces society. Humans live in groups and divide labor to achieve efficiencies – hunters, bakers, fishers, cooks, blacksmiths, woodsmen, etc.
There's too much insistence on playing it cool and brushing off our own frustration and anxiety. We're humans living in a stressful world, and when you add trying to recover from storm damage on top of the usual stresses of life, it can make things overwhelming. It's okay to be overwhelmed. Let yourself rely on other people.

Writing While Anxious
I've reached a point in my anxiety where I'm afraid of my art and my writing and I talk myself out of it. I don't want to write because I'm afraid, not just of how other people will receive my writing, but how I'll receive it myself. I'm afraid that what I create will be ugly, that it will be the same regurgitated crap I see all around me, that I won't be able to adequately put down on paper (or on screen) what's in my head.
I was in the habit for a while of writing every morning, essentially using the Morning Pages method of writing at least three pages every morning. It was an easy habit to make, and an easy habit to break when I was tired, or achy, or running late, or busy. Three pages of anything, every morning. I've managed to claim some lines of poetry from them, even some full poems, and a few lists of solid short-story ideas. But I've also dragged out memories and feelings from the darkest parts of my mind, and made myself uncomfortable, more anxious, less secure.
As a result, writing has started bringing me more anxiety, which causes writer's block as soon as I set pen to paper, or sit in front of a blank screen. I can have words and ideas swirling in my mind all day and determine that I want to write them all down. And as soon as I sit in front of a screen with a blinking cursor and type a few words, I feel a familiar tingle across my face signaling the beginnings of an anxiety attack. A blank page will send me staring into the distance, my mind racing.
I want to sit down and set intentions, to let my mind wander in words, to put my ideas down on paper. I still get a feeling of excitement when I think about the idea of writing, when I imagine what writing was like when I was an undergrad and a grad student. But actually writing makes me feel like I shouldn't – not just that I'm an impostor, that I gave up my creative side when I sold my soul to become a CPA, but that I'm stealing creativity from people who are legitimate writers. That I'm tapping into something that's no longer mine.
Before you tell me that's ridiculous and no one thinks that, I'm going to tell you that I've had people tell me to my face that I turned my back on creativity, on art and literature, the second I signed up for my first courses in my MSA program. That I had sold my soul, I was joining the legion of faceless, soulless office drones, and I would never be the same afterwards (also that I should be ashamed of myself, because. Further, that I had no business thereafter calling myself a writer, much less actually writing. I think about those conversations often, every time I think I want to write something. And I think that maybe I was an impostor all along and perhaps I was just really, really good at mimicking what "real" writers do. Or maybe the people who told me those things were insecure bastards who had no business policing the arts for people they felt were inferior.
Regardless, my writing is suffering, and I suppose a part of me is suffering as well (a different part of me, that is, other than the parts that are already suffering from chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and other various malaise). The pen is fire, and as badly as I want to be burned, I can't even enjoy its warmth.

I have no obligation to tolerate Nazis
I've posted this and other things like this on Facebook before, but it bears repeating. I'm going to mention this again (and again, and again, and again – as many times as necessary), as an avid WWII history buff, and as someone whose grandparents were heavily involved in the war effort at home. If you wave a fucking Nazi flag, throw a salute to Heil anyone, or try to claim anything about a superior race, we're going to have words – strong words. I don't have time for bullshit, and I certainly don't have time to argue about why your widdle feelings got hurt and that's why you started calling yourself a Nazi.
GET OUT. Stop trying to relive the Civil War or WWII, and pretend that the Nazis were just misunderstood, and that we can all wave second-place flags and pretend that words don't have meaning, and we should all hug and sing Kumbayah like Daily Stormer doesn't advocate violence and Richard Spencer's "peaceful genocide" isn't actually so bad. I don't have to tolerate that shit and I won't tolerate it. As soon as you advocate those things, tolerance is done – you have violated basic human decency, not to mention the social contract that we all abide by in not killing each other and burning each other's homes down. I don't have to tolerate that shit, just like you wouldn't tolerate it if I walked over to your house and kicked your dog.
I'm reaching the end of my tolerance for bullshit, and while people are welcome to argue the finer points of National Socialism, they're not welcome to come tell me why I need to tolerate some assholes with their Wal-Mart tiki torches crying that white people don't get enough attention and that their tiny little snowflake egos need more stroking.
As Yonatan Junger states in his article on Tolerance, tolerance is a peace treaty but not a suicide pact.
"Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other's throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn't directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact."
If one side decides not to live up to their end of the bargain, the other parties are not obligated to stand aside regardless of consequence and let those people trample on the treaty, and everyone else. When Nazis show up with torches and local militias bring guns to protests, they're loudly proclaiming that they couldn't care less about whatever social contract we think we've signed with everyone else. They only care about their feelings and their rights and their place in society, and they're willing to trample (or shoot) anyone who believes differently. There's no need to tolerate that, and it's stupid to think anyone should. White Supremacists aren't tolerating my right, as a mixed-ethnic woman, to live near them and work a high-paying job. In their eyes, my immigrant father stole his job from a more deserving white person, so everything I do and own was stolen from them. (See any number of articles about how immigrants steal jobs from white Americans. I'm sure the Daily Stormer is full of them, as is 4chan, reddit, and even twitter.)
I am under no obligation to tolerate such bullshit, and I won't. I've listened to these people and frankly, all I hear is the sound of my grandparents spinning in their graves because we literally fought a war over this 70 years ago and they (and I) thought it was settled, that this was just isolated fringe making noise. Well, apparently it isn't, but I have no inclination whatsoever to sit back and play, "But both sides…" or, "We should really take the high road." Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policies were wrong then, and they're still wrong now.

Apparently, Jonah Goldberg (and The National Review as a whole) is a voice of reason now.
Yes, we are still living in a world where Trump is president. No, this is not an elaborate acid trip or fever dream. This is apparently reality, where Trump is leading our country, and his communications director is 1980's Bone-itis Guy from Futurama.

What the hell even is this?
I haven't written here in a while. A long while – five months to be exact – because blah blah busy season something something dark side politics whatever. The main reason I haven't been writing here is that I've been vacillating between struggling in a dark place and barely mustering the ability to give fucks about anything, and . I have a good job, a loving family, a stable home life, and the thing about high-functioning anxiety and (recently diagnosed) Bipolar II-Depression is that none of that shit matters. When your brain chemistry is fucked up, things like logic and reason protect you about as well as those little paper cocktail umbrellas in a rain storm. If you've read any of The Bloggess' posts, or Hyperbole and a Half, then you probably have an idea of what it's like to wander around life while your brain tries to convince you that you're a deadbeat and the world is better off without you.
Writing about mental health challenges is difficult. I'm going to just leave it at that. It's difficult to describe the complex set of bizarre rules and rationalizations that your brain invents to get through everyday life, and it's difficult because there's a huge stigma around mental health – still. Where people wouldn't tell someone with a broken leg that they should just be positive and their leg would be fine, that they don't actually need a cast or crutches, people have no problem sharing shit memes like this one:
I'm hardly the first person to comment on this, but I see a stupid ass meme like this almost every day. Who wants to be told that the treatment they're getting that finally helped them live life semi-normally is bad and that they're a bad person for accepting that treatment? Not me, and probably not many people. I won't even get into the bullshit Happy At All Costs culture (mostly because Barbara Ehrenreich already covered it extensively in her book, Bright-Sided). GTFOH with that crap. But it perpetuates because who wants to be miserable? There's a kind of peer pressure to be happy all the time, and that gets perpetuated on social media (which is where I see all these stupid ass memes) where everyone is looking for Instagram-perfect bodies and kids and yoga and whatever else.
Even without the stigma and the Happiness Cults all over the place (I'm looking at you, Instagram…), dealing with what's going on in my head is difficult. I have the kind of anxiety where I am extremely sensitive to social rules and norms. Is my hair the right style? Did I put on mascara today? Am I dressed professionally enough? Will anyone notice that I'm putting on a facade and don't actually care about this stuff, but okay maybe I care a little bit but I'm also antisocial and I'm just trying to get by…. Even a small slip-up can cause low-level anxiety and panic that lasts for days. The other day I was so focused on getting a report finished at work that I walked into the Men's room by mistake – I had only just barely opened the door, noticed my mistake, and turned around, but a coworker was washing his hands and laughed. Now it's all I can think about – OH MY GOD I WALKED INTO THE MEN'S ROOM! I HAVE MADE A GRAVE ERROR! Now I must concentrate heavily on how I can avoid making the same mistake in the future, even though all I can think about is making this mistake over and over and over again and mentally punishing myself for it.
Keep in mind, this is probably the first time I've done this in years – probably since I was a kid – and a) it's not like I wandered in there and actually used the Men's room blissfully unaware; b) no one's privacy was violated; c) no one else saw me do it, other than the coworker washing his hands. I'm told that people do this shit all the time and it's not a huge deal. But having anxiety means never forgetting a mistake, no matter how small it was.
So, unsurprisingly, it's been difficult to muster the energy to write. When I feel good, I'm trying to catch up on all the mundane crap I've been neglecting while my anxiety was too bad to get laundry done or go to the post office. When I feel bad, I'm just trying to get out of bed and get to work so I can make enough money to pay for my psychiatrist who prescribes the drugs that keep me upright and functional. Recently, though, I've been forcing myself to do things that I enjoy – we have a local writers' group, so I've started going to that; I went to see Roxanne Gay's reading at Bayou Place; I saw Welcome to Night Vale when it came to town. It reminds me that I do actually enjoy things, and it helps keep me connected to those things so that when I do feel good I can do those things more often. I tasked myself with a writing project, and I've vowed to actually blog more (for real this time; seriously) or at least read more blogs and write some drivel here. Finding a reason to stay connected to this world is harder sometimes than others, but it's usually worth the trouble.

Trump Goes To Court
I'm pretty sure the reason Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT!" is because he's so used to being in court. Being sued all the time (or suing people all the time) probably makes it like his second home (you know, after Trump Tower, Mar-A-Lago, and the White House).
But I digress. For those of you who haven't heard because you were busy refreshing this page in the fervent hope that I'd be blogging again soon (wish granted; you're welcome), and therefore missed the news that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (or rather their three-person committee) upheld a stay on the travel ban-that-isn't-a-ban-but-is-definitely-a-ban, Trump got mad at the decision and tweeted his indignation and an assertion that he'd take the court to court. So yeah.
Today, he tweeted out that the 9th Circuit "forgot" to cite or read an important article that he claims supports his ban. (Spoiler alert, it probably doesn't.)
However, as that liberal rag (not really), The Hill, notes:
"The Ninth Circuit is correct to leave the [temporary restraining order] in place, in my view, for the simple reason that there is no cause to plunge the country into turmoil again while the courts address the merits of these matters over the next few weeks," the post says.
It adds that the judicial system will eventually have to confront the clash between the president's powers and "the incompetent malevolence with which this order was promulgated."
I really wonder how Trump feels right about now. Well, I won't even bother with a spoiler alert: apparently, he fucking hates it. It turns out that he CAN'T run government the same way he runs his businesses – by throwing down edicts from on high and throwing a tantrum until he gets his way, because he's Donald Trump, God Dammit, and we'll do it his way or the highway!
Anonymous source rumors aside, Trump appears to be confused at the concept of oversight. Being in charge of the Trump Organization meant he could be in charge and throw his weight around, making all the decisions, making the deals – but it's difficult at best to do that with the US Government. We have checks and balances for a reason, and it's generally considered a good thing that the president has both Congressional and Judicial oversight. We don't elect kings in this country, a fact that apparently has been slow to dawn on Trump.
I'd like to say that the man will eventually get it, that everything will click, and suddenly we'll have the presidential pivot that we were all promised during the campaign. I'd also like to say that I have a million dollars in my bank account and no debt, but neither of those things are true, and repeating it won't make it happen. There is no pivot. Trump is still bitching about imaginary voter fraud and crowd sizes, and he's obsessed with his appearance in the media. Tweeting that he would take the 9th Circuit to court is another attention-grab, whining from someone who's used to getting his way and isn't happy that he can't do everything on his own timing.
Being in charge of the free world takes patience and determination. You have to be willing to work with people who may be radically opposed to you. You can't expect to "make deals" if you're insulting allies and belittling trade deals that took years to undertake. Trump will find himself alone, and America will be worse off. But hey, remember Hillary's e-mails! We sure dodged a bullet with that one, right?

Burning The Village To Save It
I hated school growing up. It was terrible. I was bullied incessantly by teachers and students alike, and because I was above average but also had an oppositional and independent streak (a really big one) I wasn't allowed to participate in gifted programs. I had "an attitude problem," I was "disrespectful," I didn't "work well with others." I spent more time in the corner and in time out in 3rd and 5th grade than anyone else. Well, it certainly felt like it, anyway. Public school was a nightmare for me, and I felt left out because I was ahead of the class but made to wait on my peers, which made me resentful of classmates and teachers, and which made my classmates and teachers dislike me. If I could do it all over again, I'd never set foot in a public school ever.
But public school is a necessity. Public schools function as a way of ensuring that we have an educated populace prepared to take on the challenges of the world, but also ensure the future of our economy at home. Don't want to go to public school? Go to private school, or a charter school. But the local public school ensures that the kids who don't have a charter or private school option have a chance at a decent education. It's part of the social contract we sign with each other when we decide to live together under the branch of a local government. Or something. A number of my friends are teachers and they're passionate about their jobs – they work incredibly hard for not a lot of money. They understand the importance of education, and they wouldn't do it otherwise.
So when Trump nominated Betsy DeVos to head the Department of Education, we were all appalled. Betsey DeVos has no experience in public school, has never been involved in a public school, has never held any public office, has never done anything but lobby for "school choice." Of course, party loyalty mattered more than actually promoting what was best for the nation's public schools and the children who attend them, so all but two Republican Senators rubber-stamped DeVos' appointment. The two Senators who did reject her did so because they were concerned about her lack of experience and knowledge of the public education system.
"I have serious concerns about a nominee to be secretary of education who has been so involved in one side of the equation, so immersed in the push for vouchers, that she may be unaware of what actually is successful within the public schools, and also what is broken and how to fix them," Ms. Murkowski said last week when the two announced their opposition. [Source: NYT]
Okay, so maybe we need to make radical changes to the system. Maybe we need someone new and different to effect real change. However, that usually means the radical change agent is going to have some knowledge of (1) the system they're trying to change, (2) the problems that need to be resolved, (3) the things that work that should be kept. In reading DeVos' background, it's clear that she doesn't have any knowledge of any of those things. If you aren't convinced, look up the video of her confirmation hearings. Apparently, the biggest problem that needs to be resolved for teachers is not having enough guns in schools to protect kids from grizzly attacks.
If that doesn't concern you, Cosmo (yes, that Cosmo…) has an article on 11 things you should know about DeVos, and I can tell you that 3 – 5, and 7, are very concerning to me, with #5 being most concerning. DeVos pushed for charter schools in Michigan, and she got them – at the price of compromising childrens' education. From the article:
An investigation by the Detroit Free Press in 2014 found that Michigan's charter schools "rake in taxpayer money and refuse to detail how they spend it," that charter school employees and board members were "steering lucrative deals to themselves or insiders," and that more charter schools were ranking below the 25th percentile than public schools. Even a charter advocate, former state schools superintendent Tom Watkins, said, "People are making a boatload of money, and the kids aren't getting educated."
Adding school choice only works when those schools perform as good or better than the existing public schools. The whole point of providing alternatives is to give people a better alternative that works for them. Providing an alternative that has no accountability and is actually worse than the existing system is counterproductive at best, actively destructive at worst. The whole thing smacks of the bizarre assertion that you have to burn the village in order to save it, and the people who will suffer the most are the kids who go to these crappy schools and come out unprepared for the real world as future adults, the people who will rely on these future adults to support the economy, and the future generations that have to work to fix an even more broken system.
But that's all in the future, and politics is hyper-focused on the here and now. How many votes can I get NOW? What are my popularity ratings NOW? What's my likelihood of re-election NOW? The future is obscure and doesn't get votes, but pandering to current concerns (real or imagined) does.
Well, good luck, everyone. So far we're doing a good job of turning our country into Idiocracy. Hopefully it will at least be entertaining….
Edited: (1) to correct spelling of Mrs. DeVos' name.

Soylent (Not The People Kind)
The Dude (aka my husband) has been getting Soylent for a while, but I didn't get into it because I don't like the idea of flavorless chalky drink. (Though admittedly, I do drink a lot of vegetarian and vegan protein shakes, and the same could be said of those….) I decided to see if there was a way to make it into muffins, and of course there is. There's an entire DIY forum on how to make Soylent into muffins, quickbreads, and all sorts of other things to make it more portable and convenient. (Note: despite the name, the only real soy in Soylent is soy lecithin, but it does have Sucralose, so forewarning if you're trying to avoid either of those.)
I started with this recipe (found on the Soylent DIY forums), but the muffins were too dense, even after adding eggs and more liquid. I had already modified the recipe to include 2 eggs and 2 cups of cashew/protein-nut milk, but they were still too dense. So today, I did some additional recipe adjustments and finally came up with a recipe I'm happy with.
SOYLENT MUFFINS
Recipe yields +/- 48 mini muffins or cookies.
Dry ingredients:
1 bag dry Soylent
1 cup plain dry oats
1/2 tsp ground cardamom (or more)
1/2 cup dried fruit (such as raisins or cranberries)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Wet ingredients:
1 tsp vanilla extract (helps the flavor)
2 cups water or non-dairy milk
Pre-heat oven to 325 degreess.
Grease a non-stick muffin pan (or three). (Yes, really – grease the pan, and probably flour it too – the Soylent gets pretty sticky in batter form).
Mix all ingredients together. You should end up with a thick batter.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. (Alternatively, the batter is thick enough to make cookies with as well.)
Bake at 325 F for 25 – 30 minutes.
Let cool 5 minutes after removing from oven, then remove muffins from pan and cool on a wire rack.
So what do they taste like? Oatmeal muffins, mostly. There's no real aftertaste like I expected – Soylent tastes pretty weird to me (largely due to the Sucralose), so I was worried that I'd bake a batch of muffins that had a weird taste and wouldn't like. These are surprisingly good, and using the Soylent makes them more nutritious than an actual muffin. Of course, adding eggs, milk, nuts, and dried fruit will add calories, but if you're eating only the muffins then it shouldn't matter too much because the additional calories aren't significant to the individual muffin.
The batch above is about a week's worth of muffins for me (I have a tiny appetite and only eat them for breakfast or snacks), but a bag of Soylent is actually about a 1 – 2 day supply, so 5 – 10 would be a single serving depending on your caloric needs. What I care about most is that these muffins are easy on my stomach, which is nice when your meds and chronic illness are conspiring to kill your digestive system. (I've been living on brothy soups, smoothies, and these muffins for a few weeks now – everything else makes me sick. BOOOOOOO….)
Vegan Alternative: If you're looking for a Vegan alternative to the eggs, used mashed bananas or a tapioca starch egg alternative or whatever other favorite egg alternative you have.
Savory Muffin: I have not yet tried a savory version of this, but I plan to do so by replacing the vanilla and spices with rosemary and garlic. If you try it, please let me know!
So there you have it. If you try this recipe, let me know. I'm curious to see how it turns out!

This post is part of a two year series of posts related to the out of the box reports in Acumatica. For a full list, click here.
The Trial Balance Summary (GL632000) report in Acumatica lets you view your Balance Sheet for a financial period of your choice. A Balance Sheet, or Trial Balance, is a very common report in an accounting system. You see the balance at the beginning of the period, any debits and credits that happened during the period, and finally the ending balance for the period.
When you first run the report, you need to enter a Ledger and a Financial Period, but you can leave the Branch empty which will give you a Consolidated Balance Sheet across all of your branches. This is pretty cool because most ERP systems require special software if you want to do consolidated reporting. And although you can't do consolidated reporting across multiple Companies in Acumatica Report Designer (at least not that I know of), Branches are very powerful and can often replace the need for a separate Company in Acumatica.
You'll notice in the second screenshot below that the Account field is a hyperlink. Clicking an account hyperlink will take you to the Account Details (GL404000) generic inquiry screen with the Account field pre-populated.
The tables in the database have the Company column as one of the primary keys, but there is no need to use it in a join because Acumatica does it automatically for you (which is why I don't think you can do consolidated reporting across companies using Acumatica Report Designer).
Notice that the GLSetup table is isolated on its own in the DAC Schema screenshot. The join used is actually a Cross join which works because there is only one row with setting data in it for each company.


ENTERTAINMENT: Tuesday June 21 @ 8:00PM…Radical trivia at the Park House Come have fun and test your knowledge and wit!! Radical Trivia will be held every TUESDAY!! Last week's winning team…the PARK HOUSE GLORY HOLES!!


Mental Health Resources, Inc. is a non-profit, Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) that is identified as an Adult Core Service Agency (CSA). A Core Service Agency is intended to identify and provide wrap-around services to target populations. The target populations for the Adult CSA's include individuals who have a Severe Psychiatric Mental Illness(SPMI), individuals who have both mental health and substance issues (co-occurring disorders (COD)), and individuals with Chronic Substance Dependence (CSD) issues. There are additional special populations that include the homeless and DD/MI populations as well as priority populations that include individuals coming out of hospitals and the criminal justice system.
Individual counseling may include mental health issues, substance abuse/dependence issues, or individuals who have co-occurring disorders. Counseling is provided on an out-patient basis. Any individual above the age of 14 may request counseling services and have the full benefit of confidentiality.
Family counseling is offered and is considered to be a key component in the recovery/resiliency process. Family counseling is also offered for mental health issues, substance abuse/dependence issues and co-occurring issues. Services are offered on an out-patient basis.
Mental Health Resources, Inc., offers substance abuse/recovery groups and education groups to support individuals with Severe Psychiatric Mental Illness (SPMI). Additionally, MHR has community groups that it supports that include Al-Anon and Double Trouble groups. If you would like information on these groups, please contact your therapist or the Center Director in each office.
Mental Health Resources, Inc. offers psychiatric services in conjunction with the therapeutic process to individuals who may benefit from medication therapy. MHR does not currently offer "stand alone" psychiatric services as our philosophy believes in the relationship between mental health, medications, and the therapeutic process to facilitate the best possible outcome. Referrals for medication evaluations are made following the clinical intake process for individuals who meet service eligibility requirements.
CCSS is a community based service provided to the target populations that meet the CSA criteria. The service is designed to help individuals develop skills and link individuals to natural supports within the community to increase independence and embrace recovery/resiliency principles. The service is designed to only be in effect until learning has taken place or supports have been developed; it is not a case management service. Eligible individuals must have a mental health diagnosis that meets the Serious Mental Illness (SMI) definition for adults and a Severe Emotional Disturbance for children and adolescents (SED). The purpose of CCSS is to surround individual/families with the services and resources necessary to promote recovery, rehabilitation and resiliency. Community support activities address goals specifically in the following areas: independent living, learning, working, socializing, and recreation. Services are primarily face-to-face and in community locations.
PSR is an out-patient, day treatment program available to individuals with a diagnosis that meets the Severe Psychiatric Mental Illness (SPMI) criteria. The purpose of the program is to help individuals develop daily independent living skills necessary to maintain living in the community. The program utilizes the classroom model approach and not only provides an educational basis, but incorporates a social component vital for building support systems. The program is designed to help an individual to capitalize on personal strengths, to develop coping strategies and skills to deal with deficits, and to develop a supportive environment in which to function as independently as possible.
The supported employment program focuses largely on individuals that are currently on disability but is open to all MHR clients that meet the program eligibility criteria. The focus of the program is to work on job development, job skills training, interviewing techniques, resume building, and job placement. Additionally, the program also provides benefits counseling and coordination with the Social security office and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) for those who are on SSI or SSDI. The program does not help people obtain their disability. The goal of the Supported Employment program is to help place individuals either in part-time employment or long-term full time employment positions. This service is currently only available in Curry and Roosevelt counties. Supported employment provides on the job supports in an intergraded work setting with ongoing support services for individuals in need of intensive supported employment services in order to perform work.
MHR currently provides 24/7 crisis coverage through a toll free 1-800 number. The intention of this service is to help individual's access services in a quick, efficient manner and to provide avenues for access on weekends or after hours. This service is also able to function as a resource for individuals who may be unsure of services that are available in the treatment area or in the state as a whole.
Currently this service is offered only in Curry County in the MHR Clovis office. An Intensive Outpatient Program provides a time-limited, multi-faceted approach to treatment service for individuals who require structure and support to achieve and sustain recovery. IOP must target specific behaviors with individualized behavioral interventions. Treatment services address substance use disorders as well as co-occurring mental health disorders when indicated.
MHR offers nursing services in Curry and Roosevelt counties at both the Clovis and Portales clinics. The service is designed to enhance the psychiatric and clinical services and help to coordinate the medical needs of the client with primary care.
The JCC program targets adjudicated teens that have been identified through the court system to help prevent further involvement in the criminal justice system. The program is designed to work with juveniles and their families, probation officers, school systems, and employers to provide support, accountability, and coordination of care to prevent short or long term out of home placements.
Behavior management services are provided to children and adolescents who need behavioral management intervention to avoid inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and separation from their families or who require continued intensive treatment following hospitalization or as a transition to avoid return to a more restrictive environment. BMS include the development of a behavior management plan, implementation of the behavior management plan, assisting caregivers to implement the plan and ongoing monitoring of the behavior management plan. BMS is provided as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment and are not provided as stand-alone services.
Multi-systemic therapy provides an intensive home/family and community-based treatment for individuals who are at risk of out-of-home placement or are returning home from placement and their families. The MST model is evidence-based interventions that target specific behaviors with individualized behavioral interventions. Services include an initial assessment to identify the focus of the MST interventions to be used with the individual and family. Specialized therapeutic and rehabilitative interventions are available to address specific areas of need such as substance abuse, delinquency, violent behaviors, etc. Services are primarily provided in the home but workers also intervene at school and in other community settings.

Flash Superhero
The Flash is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics.
Thus far, four different characters each of whom somehow gained the power of have assumed the identity of the Flash. Before Wally and Bart's ascension to the mantle of the Flash, they were both Flash protégés under the same name Kid Flash Bart was also known as Impulse.
The Flash first appeared in the Golden Age Flash from All-American Publications, one of three companies.
Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, this Flash was Jay Garrick, a college student who gained his speed through the inhalation of hard water vapors.
The Other Age
DC Comics successfully revived superheroes, ushering in what became known as the Silver Age of comic books. Rather than bringing back the same Golden Age heroes, DC rethought them as new characters for the modern age. The Flash was the first revival, in the aptly named tryout comic book Showcase.
This new Flash was Barry Allen, a police scientist who gained super-speed when bathed by chemicals after a shelf of them was struck by lightning. He adopted the name The Flash after reading a comic book featuring the Golden Age Flash. After several more appearances in Showcase, Allen's character was given his own title, The Flash, the first issue of which was resuming where Flash Comics had left off. Barry Allen and the new Flash were created by writers Robert Kanigher and John Broome and cartoonist Carmine Infantino.
