The Great Recession was not simply the bursting of an economic bubble. This middle-class recession also saw the bursting of a bubble of optimism, dating back to the Reagan-Thatcher era, in what the economy can do for human society. It's not just markets that lurch from good times to crisis; the same is true of underlying sentiment about the economy as well.
The principles of the Reagan-Thatcher era were clear in rhetoric, if not always successfully translated into policy. The program was to reduce government intervention in the economy, lessen the burden of regulation and taxation, and privatize state-owned industry. The thinkers commonly cited in support of these efforts were Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek, along with a handful of other Chicago School and Austrian School economists.
Recessionary times have swept all of this away and ushered in a new era of Keynesianism--to the point that we are all Keynesians now, again. The pendulum has swung back and forth several times. We should recall that prior to Keynes economics was essentially a free-market discipline. Keynes mounted an intellectual assault on the free market, contesting both the classical view of economics derived from Adam Smith and the Austrian understanding of many of his own contemporaries. He wanted to bolster the role of government in managing society in the modern industrial age, which appealed in the postwar world and appeals again today.
There is a general sense these days that the economy is not fulfilling our needs, which makes this a pivotal moment. Trotting out Reagan-Thatcher economic ideas in response is akin to lighting up a cigarette in public--there are places for it, but it is socially unacceptable to most company. We could, however, turn to Friedman's old teacher, Frank H. Knight (1885-1972), to find a more fitting conservative economist for our difficult times.
Knight argued that Keynes, like the socialists, had too much confidence in government's ability to solve economic problems. But did the Chicago and Austrian economists also have too much confidence in markets? Knight certainly thought so. As a professor at the University of Chicago, he was in fact a cofounder of what came to be known as the Chicago School--his students included George Stigler, James Buchanan, and Gary Becker, as well as Friedman--but his ideas nonetheless defy easy classification.
His first and main work was Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, published in 1921, the same year that Keynes published his book on probability. Knight's book established the notion of "Knightian uncertainty" in economics, drawing the important distinction that while "risk" can be calculated and insured against, it is true "uncertainty" in the world that paves the way for opportunities to create profit and entrepreneurial enterprise.
Knight had various testy engagements with the Austrians and Keynesians. His core argument with Hayek was over capital and interest theory. He disputed the same topics with Keynes, but his greater concern with Keynes was the latter's view that government can drive the economy: he believed that Keynes had largely recycled old fallacies. Knight argued that capital in a growing society is immortal, meaning that production has no beginning or end, unless the end of the world is known and the entire economy is able to prepare for it.
He thus rejected the classical notion that production is the result of labor and the Marxist spin on this that labor creates wealth. Wealth in an object is the capitalization of a perpetual income, and for Knight production cannot be broken down into this object or that slice of time. While the Austrians argued that production is a series of inputs and outputs, Knight disagreed, contending instead that the notion of a definite relation between the quantity of capital and time or length of production needs to be eliminated.

The 'Terrorist' Who Couldn't Think Straight
Iranian 'terrorist' plot unravels
by Justin Raimondo Posted on October 14, 2011 October 13, 2011
Would Iran recruit a used car salesman with a memory problem to conduct assassinations in the US?
This is a question you have to ask yourself when evaluating the alleged Iranian "terrorist" plot supposedly uncovered by Attorney General Eric Holder the other day. The arrest of Mansour Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old Iranian immigrant who came to this country as a college student, was the occasion for a trumpet blast of anti-Iranian propaganda and belligerent declarations by US officials, who vowed to "hold Iran accountable" for purportedly mounting a plot [.pdf] to kill the Saudi ambassador, bomb the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, and strike at the Jewish community in Argentina.
The alleged plot was supposed to have been carried out by a member of the Zetas drug cartel, who was to be paid up to $1.5 million to implement the plan. US officials, even while acknowledging the "B-movie" aspect of the story, reportedly "fanned out" to convince our allies the plot was real and – with Congress already demanding new sanctions on Iran – that the economic vise be tightened. Not only are the more hysterical neocons calling for military action against Iran – no surprise there — but the headlines had the normally staid and relatively reserved Steve Clemons, a prominent Obama shill, babbling that "this is a serious situation" and "the U.S. has reached a point where it must take action," and Sen. Carl Levin calling the plot "an act of war."
Less than 24 hours after Holder's press conference, the whole fantasy began to unravel under closer scrutiny. Gary Sick, of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University, averred that the alleged plot "departs from all known Iranian policies and procedures," and went on to write:
"It is difficult to believe that they would rely on a non-Islamic criminal gang to carry out this most sensitive of all possible missions. In this instance, they allegedly relied on at least one amateur and a Mexican criminal drug gang that is known to be riddled with both Mexican and U.S. intelligence agents.
"Whatever else may be Iran's failings, they are not noted for utter disregard of the most basic intelligence tradecraft, e.g. discussing an ultra-covert operation on an open international line between Iran and the U.S. Yet that is what happened here."
Kenneth Katzman, a Middle East analyst with the Congressional Research Office, concurs:
"There is simply no precedent — or even reasonable rationale — for Iran working any plot, no matter where located, through a non-Muslim proxy such as Mexican drug gangs. No one high up in the Quds, the I.R.G.C. command, the Supreme National Security Committee, or anywhere else in the Iranian chain of command would possibly trust that such a plot could be kept secret or carried out properly by the Mexican drug people. They absolutely would not trust such a thing to them, given Iran's undoubted assumption that the Mexicans are penetrated by the D.E.A. and F.B.I. and A.T.F., etc — and indeed this plot was revealed by just such a U.S. informant….
"Are we to believe that this Texas car seller was a Quds sleeper agent for many years resident in the U.S.? Ridiculous. They (the Iranian command system) never ever use such has-beens or loosely connected people for sensitive plots such as this."
Ridiculous – that just about says it all.
But as Ayn Rand once said: "Don't bother to question a fallacy, ask yourself only what it accomplishes." The idea is to target Iran as the next al-Qaeda: with the late unlamented Osama bin Laden out of the picture, the US has to find a replacement – and quick! – in order to justify its decade-long post-9/11 rampage across the Middle East and much of the rest of the world. What's a war without an enemy? Iran has always been the War Party's ultimate Middle Eastern target, and now they are making their move.
As an opening shot in a propaganda war, Holder's startling announcement had high impact – but low credibility, as the excitement died down and the details came into focus. The problem with the narrative woven by the Justice Department is that the supposed fulcrum of this heinous plot, Senor Arbabsiar, is hardly the sort of character who makes a convincing terrorist/foreign agent. Longtime associate Tom Hosseini, a fellow Iranian-American who has known Arbabsiar for over 30 years, wondered aloud to a Washington Post reporter "how anyone – but most especially an elite military organization such as Iran's Quds force — would get involved with Arbabsiar in the first place."
"Maybe," says Hosseini, "somebody offered him some money. He doesn't have the brain to say no."
Arbabsiar certainly had a lot of money on him when he and Hosseini met in Iranian Kurdistan last August: the Post reports he was "waving around crisp $100 bills" and declaring that there was a lot more where that came from. Yet Arbabsiar's many businesses – "from used cars to kebabs" – had all failed. Perhaps this lack of business acumen was tied to his general inability to think straight, or, as the Post puts it:
"Within the small Iranian American community in this Gulf Coast city, Arbabsiar, 56, was well known and well liked. But he was also renowned for being almost comically absent-minded, perpetually losing keys, cellphones, briefcases, anything that wasn't tied down."
The Post profile is headlined "Mansour Arbabsiar recalled as upbeat about finances during summer encounter," but the actual story deserves a title more along the lines of "The 'terrorist' who couldn't think straight":
"'He was just not organized,' said David Tomscha, who once owned a car lot with Arbabsiar. 'He would lose the titles to cars. Or he'd say it was a 1989 Grand Marquis when it was an '82. And when you'd call him on it, he'd say, 'What's the difference?' Eventually, I bought him out.'"
"There is a certain bewilderment in Corpus Christi that anyone as apparently hapless as Arbabsiar could get involved in an international conspiracy. 'A goofy guy who always had a smile on his face,' said Mitchel Hamauei, also a store owner. 'Let me put it this way: He's no mastermind.'"
Either the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have lowered their standards considerably, or Arbabsiar wasn't working for them, but for someone else. The question is: who are the real masterminds? Whoever they are, their intent was clear: this was a plot designed to be discovered.
The sheer implausibility of the position taken by both the US Justice Department and the State Department – that the Iranian government was behind the plot – necessitates a more subtle spin, such as the view taken by Meir Javadenfar, of the Israel-based Middle East Economic and Political Analysis Company. Javadenfar speculates that the whole thing was a "set up" of the Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei by a dissident faction within the Iranian national security apparatus. This assumes, of course, that the patently ridiculous Official Story is true, and even heightens its impact: for if there is a "rogue" element at work within Iranian ruling circles, then the danger is even more extreme. After all, here are presumed radicals who wouldn't hesitate to bring destruction – in the form of US bombs falling on Tehran – on their own country, and certainly wouldn't hesitate to inflict the same and worse on American soil.
This view, however, is fatally flawed, in that it assumes the veracity of the Justice Department's narrative, which, as we have seen, is a fiction that fails – and fails badly – in the realm of character development. It is just not credible that the goofy Arbabsiar, who may have sustained brain damage as the result of a brutal beating he received in his student years, was the mastermind behind a plot that might have proved to be a twenty-first century Sarajevo.
More interesting, and much more credible, is the view of Hamid Serri, an Iran expert at Florida International University, who is cited in the New York Times as suggesting "another alternate explanation for the plot":
"That it could have been the work of a non-Iranian intelligence agency or even a terrorist organization with an interest in creating 'a confrontation that involves the U.S., Iran and Saudi Arabia.' Referring to the fact that the only money that apparently changed hands before the alleged plot was exposed was $100,000 wired from what was said to be an Iranian-controlled bank account to a man posing as a member of the Mexican cartel Los Zetas (who turned out to be an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency), Mr. Serri observed that this would be a 'cheap price' for an enemy of Iran to pay for the damning headlines that have appeared since the alleged plot was exposed."
Which non-Iranian intelligence agencies and/or terrorist organizations would stand to gain from such a confrontation? I can think of two: the Israelis and al-Qaeda. The former, after all, have been agitating for war quite openly; and as for al-Qaeda, those vultures are likely to be found circling over any Middle Eastern battlefield.
In choosing between these two as the likely culprit, I'll await fresh evidence before making a final judgment. I would note, however, that al-Qaeda isn't in very good shape these days, with their top leadership mostly dead, and their ranks scattered and demoralized.
The Israelis, on the other hand, have both the means and the motivation: they are desperate to provoke a war between the US and Iran, and have been for years. Moreover, there are elements of Netanyahu's government who would stop at nothing to achieve this end. Remember that Avigdor Lieberman is the Foreign Minister, and controls a good chunk of the Israeli national security bureaucracy: his extremist party, the successor to the infamous Kach movement, which wants to deport all Arabs and create a "Greater Israel," is the electoral expression of the radical "settler" movement, which is now defying the Israeli army and carrying out terrorist attacks within Israel. In Weimar Israel, the extremists are on the rise – and they have their supporters within the establishment and the government itself, including the intelligence services.
Analysts often point, almost by default, to the option of attributing the alleged plot to a "rogue faction" of the Iranian government, but it's just as likely – if not more likely – that this "rogue faction" is Israeli. It wouldn't be the first time the Israelis have been strongly suspected of carrying out extensive covert activities in the US.
If, indeed, this is the case, then the question arises: has Holder's Justice Department been duped, or are they complicit in the deception? In this scenario, no doubt evidence of both will rise to the surface, but I'm betting on the former. These are the same people who were duped by the cartels into replenishing their arsenals, and it looks to me like that same undercover operation has been duped — by an unknown third party — into provoking an incident that could lead to World War III.
Another possibility is that the Justice Department thought this up all by themselves, as a way to curry favor within an administration where they're no doubt on the outs, and also to justify their Mexican operation, of which "Fast and Furious" is but a small part. The Law of Bureaucratic Self-Justification applies here, and that could well be the full explanation – although it may have played a complementary role to Serri's thesis.
In any case, what you need to know about this case is that it's one-hundred percent baloney, from start to finish. It's the crudest sort of war propaganda, the kind that insults the intelligence of the audience it is supposed to convince – and that, too, is a clue to its provenance.
Julian Borger makes an important point in the Guardian:
"The key evidence that the alleged plot was serious was the $100,000 wire transfer. It came from a foreign bank account, but that cannot be an Iranian account because such transfers are impossible under US law. The money must have come from a third country, but which? And how can the US authorities be so sure the foreign accounts were under the control of the Quds force?"
I have a feeling this case will never come to an open and extended trial, at which the details of this absurdly fishy case would spill out and stink up the courtroom.

Every successful individual I've ever met has told me their path to success was filled with surprises and obstacles they never thought about before they started. Things happened they never anticipated. They experienced both positive surprises and disappointing setbacks. But the thing they all have in common is this: they never gave up!
Determine your path: It may sound too simple, but actually making the decision about how you invest your time and energy is the critical first step on your path to success. The desire to reach greater heights, pass tougher tests or acquire something more than you have now drives you to work and persist. It gets you up in the morning. You need to form the vision for something greater than you now have.
Collaborate with others: Everyone who achieves great things gets help along the way. Look for others who have done similar things you're working on to ask for help. And just as important, look for ways you can help others. Regardless of whether you are helping or getting help, collaboration with others will further your cause. Help people get what they want and you'll get what you want.
Make the sacrifice: To achieve anything truly amazing requires you to give up things along the way. What you need to give up will vary, but you will need to sacrifice to free up the time and space for your efforts to succeed. In his blog post The Desire to Lead Simon Sinek said: ". True leaders show up to give — and when circumstances require them to give more than they ever thought they would have to, they do so willingly." Whether you're giving more time and energy to others or foregoing your own desires, your success will require sacrifice.
As you focus your intent and actions persistently, you will start to recognize your path to success. How you focus your time, what you do and why you do it will become clear. You will have both the strength and wisdom to push through the obstacles that arise.
Questions: How deep is your desire to succeed? What drives you or keeps you going on the path to success? Please leave a comment in the space below.
The Product Management Perspective: To keep your products moving in the right direction you must work hard and inspire others to do the same. Recognizing your path to success will act as the barometer that drives everything else you do.

Tigers and the letter T go together super well. When you are studying the letter T, don't miss out on making these super fun and super simple Letter T Craft: tiger crafts. The crafts use a paper bag to make a puppet, and are both adorable and fun for kids to play with later. Kids will remember that the letter T sound stands for tiger much easier after making this adorable craft. This craft is the perfect craft to go along with teaching the letters of the alphabet. You can also make it any other time you are talking about tigers and jungle animals.
I also have a few great books that are fun to read when teaching the letter T sound. Have fun!
Before starting this craft with kids, you will want to cut out two white teeth and two orange ears for each tiger you will be making. You might also want to draw the outline of the tiger's strips onto the bags, letting the kids color them in later.
The day of the craft, show the kids how to glue the ears and teeth in place. Show them how to color red inside the bag flap to make the tiger puppet's mouth. Let the kids color in the tiger's stripes, and their tiger puppets are ready to go!
This simple craft is ideal for making when you don't have a lot of time to devote to a craft, but you still want something fun to do with the kids to solidify the lesson currently being taught. While kids are coloring in the stripes, have them think of other things that start with the letter T.

SFO raid on Māori King's office focused on alleged financial misappropriation
24 Jul, 2018 05:00 PM 4 minutes to read
Maori King advisor Rangi Whakaruru at Auckland Airport.
Matt Nippert
Business Investigations Reporter
The raid by the Serious Fraud Office yesterday of the office of the Māori King is understood to focus on claims of financial misappropriation concerning one of the King's close advisers.
The Herald, which has been reporting on the case for the past 12 months, understands the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) probe that preceded the case being referred to the SFO had zeroed in on hundreds of thousands of dollars of spending connected with the King's private secretary Rangi Whakaruru.
That earlier investigation, into Ururangi Trust by the Charities Service branch of DIA, had been ongoing since September 2017 but was brought to an abrupt end in June when Ururangi voluntarily deregistered itself. That move meant it was no longer subject to Charities Service oversight.
Previous Herald reporting has raised concerns over whether Whakaruru used Ururangi's charitable funds to cover his $46,000 gastric band surgery at a private hospital in 2016, and also his company's use of low-interest related-party loans to cover $82,000 in non-charitable travel expenses.
Whakaruru did not reply to Herald inquiries yesterday, but in a brief interview at Auckland Airport in April he denied any misspending or wrongdoing at Ururangi.
A SFO spokesman confirmed serving search warrants and said the case was being formally investigated – a move requiring SFO director Julie Read to "suspect that an investigation into the affairs of any person may disclose serious or complex fraud".
The spokesman was unwilling to comment further, citing the need to "protect the integrity of the investigation and those involved".
The SFO typically handles cases involving frauds of more than $5 million, but has proved willing in the past to lower that bar when public or charitable funds – Ururangi received around $2m annually from Tainui charities, although it is not suggested that an amount that high is under investigation – were involved.
Maori Television reported yesterday's search of the King's offices at the Endowed College Buildings in Ngāruawāhia saw SFO investigators seize documents and computer hard drives.
The raid represents a significant development for the politically and culturally sensitive Kiingitanga, but was met with mostly silence by tribal authorities.

Request for comment from Tainui's tribal executive were not answered by publication time, and a similar requests to Ururangi's chairman, accountant Peter Rogers, went similarly unanswered.
Calls to Ururangi's other trustee, Helen Kotua - Whakaruru's ex-wife - were answered by someone who declined to identify herself, who before handing up said "sorry, sir, not interested" when asked about Ururangi.
Former Tainui chairman Tukoroirangi Morgan welcomed the SFO investigation, and said he hoped it quickly got to the bottom of allegations.
Morgan said the developments raised particular questions for Ururangi's trustees Rogers and Kotua.
"What have they been doing in the surveillance and management of funds at Ururangi? If we're talking about the misappropriation of funds and wrongdoing, all of them should be held accountable," he said.
"Until the lid is lifted, and we get a sense of the scale and the seriousness of the allegations, and then have brought before the courts, only then will we be secure and confident on how our tribal money is being spent."
Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters said he could not comment on any details relating to the raid. He had been advised of it at about 1pm, shortly after news broke.
"I could come to a lot of conclusions but I shouldn't. I've got to wait and find out what happened here."
Hauraki-Waikato MP Nanaia Mahuta said "The tribe will be watching with serious anticipation of where this investigation that might lead."
She called on Tainui to put in place "further oversight or protection mechanisms" around funding to the Kiingitangi while the investigation was ongoing.
In 2015 Ururangi was the subject of an adverse Charities Service investigation that warned further problems could see its charitable status revoked.
That report, obtained by the Herald last year, detailed the King's $350,000 annual salary and raised concerns about 114 transactions between 2012 and 2014 totalling $120,691, relating to the purchase of jewellery, clothing and beauty treatments and almost $90,000 in cash withdrawals.

Peter Wilsher sees a future on the Continent for those with degrees and ambition.
Jose Ignacio Lopez de Arriorta, whose cost-cutting wizardry at General Motors and subsequent scandal-drenched departure to Volkswagen (see also Management p16) made him by a wide margin the most newsworthy businessman of 1993, was born in the tiny North Spanish town of Amorebieta, on the road between Guernica and Bilbao. Everyone living there claims to remember little bespectacled Josein, who studied so hard and was so rotten at football. However rough the ride may become for him in distant Wolfsburg, to the locals he remains a hero who can do no wrong, who still speaks Basque as his most comfortable domestic language, and who will one day return to them when he retires from the international executive fray.

A collegiate recovery program (CRP) is a college or university-provided supportive environment within the campus culture that reinforces the decision to engage in a lifestyle of recovery from addiction. It is designed to provide an educational opportunity alongside recovery support to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other.
To meet the needs of this growing population of recovering young adults as they pursue their educations, several colleges and universities have developed collegiate recovery communities to help young adults in recovery maintain their abstinence while pursuing their educations.
Once associated mainly with 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, "recovery" is now a widely accepted concept. Most people who self-identify as being "in recovery" from substance use disorders say it means not only abstaining from all mind-altering substances (i.e., sobriety), but also embracing a positive view of personal growth and self-improvement.
Recovery is seen as an ongoing process rather than a cure, although it might be easier to sustain recovery after many years of abstinence.
Recovery requires ongoing support to sustain abstinence to prevent relapse.
Establishing a strong support network of pro-abstinence peers is seen as critically important.
Spending time in situations where alcohol and drugs are being used can intensify cravings, and continuing to interact with friends who drink and use drugs is one of the most reliable predictors of relapse.
Parents and other caregivers have an important role to play as well in helping their children maintain recovery.

Last week TVSource Magazine learned that soap writer Thom Racina, script writer for CBS' The Young and the Restless has been let go. When Thom joined Y&R back in the summer it was a surprise to many, as Thom hadn't wrote for soaps in over 10 years.
On his website, Thom raved about the chance to be working for The Young and the Restless. "I've been away from the genre for a long time–was rather surprised when I got the offer–but my love for it rekindled in a moment, and not only for the paycheck. I just really enjoy it. This time around it's almost like a whole new ball game, in that I'm doing scripts for a change–easier than head writing, I'll say–but equally as challenging and creative."
We contacted Mr. Racina this past weekend to find out his take on his Y&R experience. "It was great creative fun while it lasted, but having gotten input put all along from producers there and other members of the writing team praising my scripts, it came as a bit of a shock."
Racina appeared on the popular talk-radio show In the Zone Radio back in July, excited about what was to on the horizon. Though he expressed no desire to become a head writer ("Never again," he said during the interview), he was happy to be working in the genre once more. Thom's outlook is pretty simple. "The reality is that this is television, the network rules, it's the great revolving door, I know it all too well and it shouldn't really surprise me. I think maybe it's time I write my memoirs, don't you think?"
It might be time for one. Given some of the stories he shared during his radio interview, it would definitely be a good read.
Thom's past soap work includes Search For Tomorrow, Another World, Days of Our Lives, Santa Barbara, and General Hospital.

Q: Front-end button that automatically adds a tag to the post - WORDPRESS I've been researching this all day and haven't found an elegant solution, what I'm trying to do is add a 'featured' tag to a post when a button is clicked and also removing the 'featured' tag when another button is clicked.
For Instance;

*

*When the Mark Featured button is clicked, the post will have the Featured tag

*When the Unmark Featured button is clicked, the Featured tag is removed.

Here is my try
<form name="front_end_featured" id="FeaturedTag" method="POST" action="/dashboard" >
    <fieldset>
        <input type="hidden" name="Featured" id="FEATURED_BTN" value="featured" />
        <?php wp_nonce_field( 'post_nonce', 'post_nonce_field' ); ?>
<button class="button" id="featured" type="submit"><?php _e('Mark as Featured', 'framework') ?></button>
    </fieldset>
</form>

<?php
    // If a user is logged in, and a form has been submitted with new tags
if ( is_user_logged_in() && isset( $_POST['Featured'] ) ) {
    // Add the tags
    wp_set_post_tags(get_the_ID(), sanitize_text_field($_POST['Featured']), true );
} ?>

According to log4j2's manual about PatternLayout's charset attribute, if the attribute is not specified, the default system Charset will be used.
But in my environemnt (Win8 Simplified Chinese + Tomcat 7), if the attribute is not specified, the Chinese words cannot display properly in console. If I add charset="UTF-8" to <Console>'s <PatternLayout> element, the error still exists. But if I modify it to charset="GBK", the problem can be resolved.
and remove the charset attribute in XML's <PatternLayout> element, the Chinese words can display properly as expected.
So, I think it may be a bug and reported it here.

The ancient Egyptian official Meketre was chancellor and high steward during the reign of Mentuhotep II, Mentuhotep III and perhaps Amenemhat I, during the Middle Kingdom.Meketre is first attested in a rock inscription in the Wadi Shatt el-Rigala, bearing the simple title sealer. The inscription is dated to year 41 of king Mentuhotep II. On reliefs from the mortuary temple of the same king in Deir el-Bahari Meketre bears the title of chancellor and was evidently promoted in the meantime, succeeding Kheti. The same title was found on a statue in Meketre's tomb while on relief fragments in the tomb he held the main title of high steward. The tomb (TT280) is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, and lies next to a large, unfinished royal tomb which was originally attributed to king Mentuhotep III and, after new research, to Amenemhat I. Therefore, Meketre most likely died under the latter king.

Meketre's tomb TT280 contained several wooden replicas, representing the daily activities and life in Ancient Egypt, together with figurines of ships and cattle were, miniature buildings and gardens. Selections of the replicas and other items from the tomb are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Mitesh and I have been to many geet's/sanjee's, however we've never seen anything quite like this. It was beautiful and entertaining at the same time. If I was blown away, I can only imagine what their guests thought. Mits and I only attended one other geet which could match up to this one. That geet happened to be Anjli's (Palvi's sister) the previous year. I never really put up other functions on the blog or Facebook as there just isn't enough time or space to put these up, however I had to share this one with you.
Special mention to the bass mechanics team for the amazing sound and lighting.

Kate Middleton may be the newest member of the Royal Family, but she seems to be getting on with the Windsor clan like a house on fire.
The Duchess of Cambridge happily chatted with several senior royals – including the Queen – during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, and seems to have struck up a particular bond with brother-in-law Prince Harry.
KATE MIDDLETON PLANNING SURPRISE PARTY FOR PRINCE WILLIAM?
Clearly enjoying his sister-in-law's company, Harrywas spotted smiling and laughing with Kateon many occasions during the three-day event.
And when Prince William stood beside his grandmother on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during their final Jubilee appearance, Prince Harry kept a close eye on Kate, even whispering a joke which sent her into fits of giggles.
'A younger brother or younger sister would have been nicer, but to have a big sister is obviously very, very nice,' he said.
'I've got to knowKate pretty well, but now that she's becoming part of the family, I'm really looking forward to getting her under my wing – or she'll be taking me under her wing probably.

Legal Advice on Dietary Supplements in Los Angeles, CA
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) was enacted as a result of public debate concerning the importance of dietary supplements in promoting health, the need for consumers to have access to current and accurate information about supplements, and controversy over the FDA regulatory approach to dietary supplement products. While marketers are still limited to the types of claims that can be made for supplement products and are required to possess adequate substantiation, DSHEA revolutionized the marketing and sale of dietary supplement products.

Review of labeling and packaging to help ensure compliance with relevant laws
Legal representation before the FDA, U.S. Customs Service, and U.S. Postal Service
Legal representation to resolve issues around product recalls or product seizures
21 CFR 111.260(e) provides:
"The Batch Production record must include the identity and weight or measure of each component used."
21 CFR 111.260 (j) provides:
"The weight of each component needs to be identified and if this is manually identified: (i) The initials of the person responsible for weighing or measuring each component used in the batch; (ii) The initials of the person responsible for verifying the weight or measure of each component used in the batch; (iii) The initials of the person responsible for adding the component to the batch; and (iv) The initials of the person responsible for verifying the addition of components to the batch."
21 CFR 75(a) provides:
"Before you use a component, you must:
(1)(i) Conduct at least one appropriate test or examination to verify the identity of any component that is a dietary ingredient, unless you petition the agency under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section and the agency exempts you from such testing." (2) Confirm the identity of other components and determine whether other applicable component specifications established in accordance with 111.70(b) are met. To do so, you must either:(i) Conduct appropriate tests or examinations; or(ii) Rely on a certificate of analysis from the supplier of the component that you receive, provided that:…"
21 CFR 210 (d) provides:
" The identity and weight or measure of each dietary ingredient that will be declared on the Supplement Facts label and the identity of each ingredient that will be declared on the ingredients list of the dietary supplement;"
The Supplement Facts label lists the ingredients, but it does not provide the weight of each dietary ingredient, in violation of 21 CFR 111.210 (d).
The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) amended Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, requiring food and dietary supplements to have nutrition labeling.
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, defined Dietary Supplement and added specific labeling requirements for dietary supplements.
In 1997, several key regulations for statement of identity, nutrition labeling, ingredient labeling, nutrition content and health claims for dietary supplements were implemented.
Second, the 1997 Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act authorizes health claims based on an authoritative statement of a scientific body of the U.S. government with official responsibility for public health protection or research directly related to human nutrition, or the National Academy of Sciences. Such claims may be used after submission of a health claim notification to FDA.
Under the law, claims that are allowed to be used on food and dietary supplement labels fall into three categories: nutrient content claims, health claims and structure/function claims. Disease-related claims are generally not permitted for dietary supplements.


The Paper Pinwheel shown in Fig. 1 is one of the best whirlers ever devised.
A slight forward thrust of the stick handle upon which it is mounted starts it in motion, and when you run with the stick extended in front of you it whirls at a merry speed.
Fig. 1.—The Paper Pinwheel is the Simplest Pinwheel to Make.
A piece of paper 8 or 10 inches square is needed for the pinwheel. Fold this piece of paper diagonally from corner to corner, both ways. Then open the paper, and with a pair of scissors cut along the diagonal creases, from the corners to within ½ inch of the center (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2.—Diagram for Paper Pinwheel.
Next, fold corners A, B, C, and D over to the center, as shown in Fig. 3, run a pin through the corners and through the center of the sheet of paper, drive the point of this pin into the end of the stick handle, and the pinwheel will be completed.
