Peephole: Peering into the World of 1970s Hollywood and L.A.
Step into the world of the early 1970s with the gritty street photographs of Daniel D. Teoli, Jr. of West Virginia.
This engaging exhibition features twenty-one photographs taken by Teoli, documenting incredible array of people and urban scenes he encountered. The subjects of the photographs reflect the cultural and social diversity of the city. The photographer studied at California State University, Los Angeles and cites photographers Lisette Model, Robert Frank, Mary Ellen Mark, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Irving Penn, and Diane Arbus, among others, as influences. "What you see is what you get," is the artist's philosophy for his work, adding "If I had to sum up my interest in photography…it must stem from a liking to be able to 'freeze time.'" Teoli's work can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Flint Institute of Art, Amherst College, and the International Center of Photography.
Please note: Peephole will be closed on Monday, October 9 from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. due to a private event. Thank you.

However, teachers like Adamson point to the fact that the content of the mind is known, recognized by a presence or awareness that is independent of the mind's content. Adamson teaches that we form an identity based on the content of the mind (feelings, sensations, hopes, dreams, thoughts), however our true identity or nature is that which observes all of these things - the seer, the witness or the Self.

The philosophy of Nonduality, or as it is called in India, Advaita-Vedanta, says that there is just One Spirit in the Universe, and that everything, living or inanimate, is an inseparable and indivisible part of this One Spirit.
Nonduality further says that it is only illusion, caused by the mind and the play of the senses, which make us regard the world and everything in it, as real and separate from us.
It is possible to realize the meaning of nonduality and attain spiritual awakening and enlightenment in an ashram or a cave, and it is also equally possible to do so while living in a town or city with family and job.

Antonio Civitella, the CEO and founder of Transfinder in Schenectady, has started a new company called GeoMarketing that will fuse high-tech location technology with sales practices.
Civitella is launching the new firm as a true startup, planning to hire just a handful of employees and incubating the company in the New York BizLab, the startup hub that he owns down the street from Transfinder.
GeoMarketing will also be holding a job fair on Thursday, Dec. 7, to try and find its first employees.
GeoMarketing will use sales technology that was developed at Transfinder, which makes bus routing software for school districts. Civitella has grown Transfinder by carefully pursing leads on school districts that might benefit from his software and then ensuring that those customers remain happy with Transfinder.
Transfinder also used its own mapping software to enhance its sales practices. Civitella says that a company's reputation is often determined by word-of-mouth referrals, and those relationships can often be mapped out, providing a sales organization with useful data.
GeoMarketing will provide its customers with sales mapping technology and will also provide manpower to make sales calls.
Civitella said the company will officially launch on Jan. 1 and he expects that the company's sales will grow enough in the first year to sustain itself on its own after Civitella's initial investment, which he declined to reveal.


Tuesday marks the first day Washington marijuana dispensaries will open their doors for sale. But already-sparse shelves could turn stark naked within a matter of minutes and stay naked for weeks, as few shops will have the necessary supply to meet consumer demand.
Washington and Colorado both passed legislation to legalize marijuana in 2012. Colorado became the first state to begin selling weed, in January, and the move was viewed by many as an unheralded success. Supply waned initially, but within the first four months dispensaries took in $114 million in sales. Washington, meanwhile, with a rockier business model that prizes third-party farming rather than on-site growing and selling like in Colorado, won't have its stock ready in time.
"What do you do when your shelves are empty? Do I just send everybody home? Do we try and stay open? I can't pay people if we aren't selling anything," dispensary owner James Lathrop told Reuters.
Lathrop's plight, and that of dozens of other sellers, centers around a problem with licensing and regulatory approval. The state is slated to issue licenses on Monday to some 20 shops around Washington, but thousands more are waiting in the wings. It's because of the state's distribution model, which divorces sellers from a direct supply. Only 80 of the 2,600 applicants have been granted licenses so far. As Reuters reports, only a fraction of the total pot operation — 10 football fields' worth of inconsumable cannabis, or 560,000 square feet — has been approved.
Colorado has seen little of this struggle in its meteoric rise so far this year. Since its January introduction, city- and county-wide murder rates in Denver have dropped 42.1 percent. Violent crime is down two percent, and property crimes are down 11.5 percent compared to the same period in 2013. Colorado's Gov. John Hickenlooper predicts cannabis will generate $1 billion in revenue by the end of the next fiscal year, or just under $134 million in tax revenue alone. If these projections are anything to go by, the state's confidence remains high.
"While the rest of the country's economy is slowly picking back up, we're thriving here in Colorado," Hickenlooper told BuzzFeed's Ben Smith in March.
Over in Washington, meanwhile, growers and sellers share little of the celebration. James Lathrop, for instance, has found only one grower who can ship its supply to him in time for Tuesday. To meet the demand he plans to stick to a two-gram limit for purchase, and prices will shoot from around $15 to $20 per gram to as high as $25 to $30, depending on who shop owners are trying to sell to — tourists and novelty-seekers may be more inclined to shell out an extra five.
Unlike Colorado's thriving edibles market, cannabis kitchens in Washington have yet to see regulatory approval. Many growers foresee production starting to ramp up to meet demand by the three-year mark, if they're lucky. Bob Leeds, co-owner of Seattle-based Sea of Green Farms, which got its license to grow and process cannabis in March, predicted a window of between three and five years, Reuters reports.


Tuesday was my last day in Tokyo and I really didn't want to leave! For breakfast, we had rice with dried seaweed, rice crackers, and water. We also had spinach with bonito flakes and soy sauce, and soup. I legitimately love Japanese food. I strongly prefer it to Korean food. It's very mild in comparison (I don't like spicy food) and there are a lot more vegetables!
Following our arts and crafts session, we headed to the train station and set out for Tokyo Station. From there, we would catch the express train to Narita Airport. We had some time to kill, though, so we wandered around and got lots of yummy things to eat. Like a tonkastu sandwich and shrimp dumplings. After we took the train to the airport, it was time to check in and make my way to the gate. Eri and I said goodbye and I thanked her profusely for such a marvelous time.
I am quite madly in love with Japan and found it far superior to Korea in many ways. The people are so friendly and helpful. I didn't feel out of place as a foreigner at all, like I often do in Korea. Eri's family was so welcoming and hospitable, which really added to my positive experience. I also found there is much more variety in Japan, specifically regarding personal style and fashion. You can see that there are different subcultures and it was comforting to me.
Additionally, while the public transportation system is massive, it is extremely efficient and gets you everywhere you need to go. When you visit temples and other historical sites, it is easy to forget that you are in a city of over 13 million people. In Korea, you always know when you are in a city. It is overcrowded and dirty, there is garbage in the streets, and you see the same chains whether you are in Seoul, Busan, or Daegu. Tokyo is very clean for a city, almost too clean!
The food is absolutely phenomenal. Japanese food has always been one of my favorite cuisines, but having real Japanese food in Japan was pretty next level. It's hard for me to find food I enjoy in Korea, mostly because everything is so spicy. Also because everything is so expensive.
I'd really love to go back to Japan and see more of this incredible country! My trip was definitely too short, but I loved every second of it.
Monday was a long day. Eri and I woke up at 6 AM to get tickets to the Tokyo Skytree because it was supposed to get very crowded. The Skytree is in Sumida and we took the train. Eri had never been before, so we were both so excited!
When we got to the entrance, we were thrilled to find out that there was no line at all! We purchased our tickets and went up to the Tembo Deck, which is 350 meters up. After soaking in the amazing views of the city, we spent a little extra money to go up to the Tembo Galleria (450 meters up). At the Tembo Galleria, they had a Star Wars exhibit on display. I've actually never seen any of the movies, but it was really interesting. Then, we got coffee at the cafe, where we also had an incredible view of the city.
Later, we met Eri's mom at Tsukiji Market, the famous fish market. We walked around and looked at all the stalls and even sampled some seaweed and almonds. For lunch, we got some very fresh raw fish on top of rice with miso soup. I can't remember what the dish was called, but it was delicious. There was salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crab, shrimp, and roe.
When we were done with lunch, we all headed over to Asakusa to visit Senso-ji Temple. The streets were absolutely filled with people and there were many vendors selling souvenirs. Senso-ji is Tokyo's oldest temple and the entrance has a massive paper lantern. You can also see the pagoda, which is very close to the temple. Just as we did at the Meiji Shrine, we walked up the steps to toss in our coins and pray. I also got another fortune scroll.
Later, we headed back to Harajuku to do some souvenir shopping and check out the Kawaii Monster Cafe. The cafe was wonderfully weird and featured waitresses and performers dressed in the decora fashion style. We got milkshakes and multi-colored pasta, which was served on a plate shaped like an artist's palette. It was pretty good!
We went back to Eri's house to relax a bit before dinner. We decided to go for okonomiyaki and monjayaki. Okonomiyaki is essentially a pancake filled with your choice of ingredients that you cook on a hot plate at your table (we got one with mixed seafood and one with tuna and cheese). Monjayaki is similar, except you use more liquid while cooking it and it gets very crispy on the hot plate (ours had pork and vegetables).
After dinner, we went back to Eri's house and had tea, sweets, and watched some TV. Then, it was time for bed.
On Sunday, we got up early. Eri made ozoni for breakfast, which is a soup made with a clear broth, sticky grilled mochi, chicken, carrots, and greens. We also had pork gyoza and shrimp shumai.
After breakfast, we headed out for Shibuya. We saw the statue of Hachiko, the loyal Akita, and the famous Shibuya crossing. We were able to get a seat upstairs by the window at Starbucks to watch while people crossed. There were also many record stores (I miss record stores), and I bought myself a Kyary Pomyu Pomyu CD.
We walked through Shibuya on our way to the Meiji Shrine. Before getting there, though, we stopped in a little candy shop to look around. To our surprise, the workers were actually making the candy while we were there! The design they were making was for White Day, which is celebrated on March 14 and men give gifts to women who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. It was very interesting and we stayed for a long time to watch.
Then, we made our way to the Meiji Shrine. Walking through the gates was like walking back in time. I almost forgot I was in a city because everything was so green and peaceful. Before entering the shrine, we washed our hands outside. We also through coins into a series of slots and prayed. After, we each got an omikuji, which is a small piece of paper with our fortune on it.
Next stop was Harajuku! Harajuku is a popular area in Tokyo where a lot of young people hang out. Takeshita Street is the main shopping area. Eri and I went to a purikura photo booth (we were definitely the oldest people there) and walked around looking at the shops. There is lots of interesting fashion from decora to goth and everything in between.
Then, we went to the Nezu Museum which houses the private collection of Nezu Kaichiru. Eri had never been before, so it was exciting for both of us. They had a special exhibit called Pine, Bamboo, and Plum: Auspicious Designs in Celebration of the New Year. There was also a beautiful collection of kimonos and other garments as well as a collection of ancient Chinese bronzes. I loved it so much! We also got to explore the sprawling gardens outside.
We were totally starving after walking around all day, so we decided to go for tonkatsu. The restaurant we found was traditional style, so we got to sit in the floor. We each got a giant piece of breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet (it was like butter), shredded cabbage, rice, miso soup, and pickled vegetables. It might have been my favorite meal in Tokyo. I'm not sure, though, since everything was so good!
After walking around a little more, we headed back to Eri's house. For dinner, her parents took us out to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant (kaiten-sushi). The place was massive and everything was self-service (you could make matcha at the table). In addition to the sushi moving around the belt, you could also order anything else you wanted from a touch screen at the table. It was some of the best sushi I've ever had. And I love sushi!
Day two in Tokyo was an enormous success.
I arrived in Tokyo at 9:30 AM on Saturday. It was a two hour flight with Japan Airlines, which was fabulous. After clearing customs, I made my way to arrivals to meet my friend Eri. She got there about 15 minutes after I did and it was so good to see her! We got me a Suica card (metro card) and hopped on the train.
Eri lives in Kokubunji, which is about two hours away from Narita Airport. The train ride was very nice. Everything is quite clean and the Japanese do not push and shove like the Koreans do. Also, it is perfectly okay to hold a conversation on the train (in Korea, you will get hushed at and stared down until you stop talking).
After getting to Kokubunji Station, we walked to Eri's house, which was about 5 minutes away. I was surprised to find out that Japan drives on the left side! Eri's neighborhood is very residential. There are more houses than apartments and lots of convenience stores and restaurants.
We got to Eri's house and put my things in the traditional Japanese-style guest room (complete with tatami mats, futon, and beautifully decorated paper walls). I also met her parents, who I would just call Mom and Dad for the rest of my trip. Her father does not speak English, but he was very kind and we communicated through smiling and hand gestures. Her mother takes English classes every week and speaks well. She has an enormous personality and is very funny.
Eri and I had a reservation for the Ghibli Museum at 4 PM, so we had lots of time to kill. We went back to Kokubunki Station to do some shopping. The station has everything you could ever want: clothing, cosmetics, traditional crafts, prepared food, and a market. First, we went to have a small snack: takoyaki. Takoyaki is a baked ball filled with octopus and topped with brown sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, seaweed flakes, and bonito flakes. It was so delicious! We also looked at some traditional Japanese sweets, including dried plum and mochi with red bean filling.
After, we made our way to Mitaka to visit the Ghibli Museum, which is dedicated to the films of Hayao Miyazaki. The building is so whimsical and fantastically designed with spiral staicases, tiny doors, and brilliant stained glass windows featuring characters from the films. It is not very big, but there is a lot to see. We felt like little kids, walking around and pointing at all the characters we recognized. We even got to watch a film in the auditorium, Bread Man and Egg Princess.
When we got back to Eri's house, her mother cooked sukiyaki for dinner. It was cooked in a hot pot which was filled with slices of beef, tofu, thin noodles, mushrooms, leeks, rice cakes, and greens. We ate rice and seaweed soup with it. Additionally, everyone got a small bowl which we cracked a raw egg into, and dipped the ingredients from the hot pot. It was delicious!
After dinner, I got to take a bath. In a real bath tub. Japanese bathrooms are very nice. The toilet and shower are in different rooms. The toilet seats are all warm all the time. The bath tub was so deep and I could actually stretch my legs out and relax. It was an excellent end to an amazing first day.
I graduated from Seton Hall University in 2013 with a BA in Art History. For the past two years, I've worked multiple part-time jobs all while applying for full-time positions in my field. The closest I've gotten is one of my two current jobs: being an administrative assistant in a small, non-profit history museum between 10-15 hours per week. My other job right now is retail.
Anyway. In addition to EPIK, I am being asked to interview with AEON, Amity, and ECC. I already knew about AEON and Amity when I started this blog. However, I just got the e-mail from ECC, and this is the interview that will make the biggest difference on my final decision (if I'm offered a position, that is).
In one of my older posts (click here), I talked about wanting to be in Japan, but feeing like South Korea would be the best option, financially. Now, I'm rethinking Japan because it seems a little more tangible.
ECC only hires around Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. I would like to be in Nagoya or Osaka. Monthly salary is good (252,000 yen/month) and the work week is only 29.5 hours, which would leave lots of time for conducting private lessons to make some extra cash. Additionally, ECC offers 7 weeks paid vacation, which is more than any other program I've seen. Traveling is super high on my list if I teach abroad, so this is a sweet deal. Teachers do have to pay for rent, but ECC helps find you an apartment and you are not responsible for key money or deposit money.
Oh goodness. The struggle is so real.
Has anyone worked with ECC before? Any feedback to add to my pro/con list would be greatly appreciated!
At this point in time, I have been invited for interviews with the following programs: EPIK, Aeon, and Amity.
EPIK is my first choice right now, but I am certainly keeping my options open.
In addition to thinking about which country/program I would like to ultimately go with if chosen, I've also been thinking about Oreos.
Anyway, was some food for thought. And now I will proceed to watch Bob's Burgers.
… and I drive myself crazy, drive myself crazy thinking of teaching programs.
I have a tendency to overthink things, and that certainly doesn't exclude the possibility of moving halfway around the world to teach English. I slept terribly last night because I was up contemplating the different programs I've applied to so far. I have two interviews with Japanese companies and one with a South Korean consulting agency that places applicants into government-run programs.
There's a lot to think about. My biggest concern, to be honest, is going to be making enough money to send some back home to continue taking care of my expenses in the States. I know that wherever I go I'm not going to have disposable income, but every little bit helps.
After that, rent and health care are pretty important. The Japanese programs I'm interviewing with offer subsidized monthly rent, while the South Korean programs take care of rent completely. Health care is provided through everywhere I've applied. The Japanese programs deduct an already specified amount each month, and the South Korean ones offer 50% coverage.
Now, here's the toss up. While the monthly salaries for the Japanese programs are slightly more than the South Korean ones, the South Korean programs offer the added benefits of entrance fee reimbursement (that's your one-way ticket), and a settlement allowance when you arrive. That helps.
Now, in about 45 minutes, I'll be getting a phone call from my favorite high school English teacher to ask for a letter of recommendation for the aforementioned programs and talk about what I've been up to since graduation. Life is wild.

Home / About Us / Fun Facts / Although they're in space, Astronauts still need to swim!
Even Astronauts Need to Swim.
NASA has released information about it's official requirements; and as well as having a bachelors degree in engineering, biological sciences, physical sciences, or maths, 3 years work experience (or a masters degree), 20/20 vision, blood pressure below 140/90 in a sitting position, be 5"1-6"2 tall, need 1000 hours experience of flying a jet- just to get through to the week of interviews, which also include medical screenings you'll also need to be able to swim.
For the lucky few who fit the initual requirements and screening,, they need 2 years training and acclimatization, which includes swimming 3 lengths nonstop, and then a further 3 lengths in your flight suit and tennis shoes, capping it all off with 10mins of treading water continuously before they get to go into space.
You'll also need to be comfortable with the idea of scuba diving.
If going into space is a dream of yours, don't fall at the final hurdle. We have experience teaching people of all abilities to swim.
For swimming coaches and teachers… is there a new 'set' about to emerge called' astronaut training? 3 lengths, 3 in a t-shirt, and then 10 mins treading water. It'd certainly strengthen your kicking!

On-field umpires awarded one extra run to the England in World Cup final
The extra run helped England tie the match in the regulation 50 overs
Super Over also ended in tie and England won due to boundary count rule
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday defended the two umpires Kumar Dharamasena and Marais Erasmus who received a lot of flak for awarding one extra run to the eventual winners England during World Cup 2019 final. ICC's general manager of cricket Geoff Allardice defended both the umpires saying they followed the "right process" while making their decision. The incident in question happened after the ball took a deflection off diving Ben Stokes' bat and ran away to the third-man fence during the summit clash of the showpiece event on July 14. The umpires awarded England six runs, instead of five, and this error in judgement by the on-field umpires turned into a hot topic.
"After everything that went on during that delivery, they got together over their comms system and made their decision. They certainly followed the right process when making the decision," ICC's general manager of cricket Geoff Allardice was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
"They (on-field umpires) had to make a judgement call on the day as to whether the batsmen had crossed when the throw was released," he added.
Midway through the final over of England's innings, a throw from New Zealand fielder Martin Guptill deflected off the bat of Ben Stokes and ran to the boundary, and the hosts were awarded six runs, which eventually helped England tie the match and the ensuing Super Over before winning on boundary count.
TV replays showed Adil Rashid and Stokes had not yet crossed for their second run when Guptill released the ball from the deep, prompting experts to believe that only five runs should have been given.

However, on-field umpires Dharmasena and Marais Erasmus added six runs to England total -- four runs for the ball reaching the boundary plus two for running between the wickets by the batsmen.
Allardice also added that the playing conditions did not allow the third umpire or the match referee to intervene.
"They were aware of the law when they made the judgment about whether the batsmen had crossed or not at the time.
"The playing conditions don't allow them to refer to such a decision to a third umpire. The match referee cannot intervene when the umpires on the field have to make a judgement call like that," he explained.
Allardice said that the entire final would be "considered" by the ICC's Cricket Committee led by former India captain Anil Kumble, but the panel is not scheduled to meet until the first quarter of 2020.
Asked if there were questions raised about England and New Zealand sharing the World Cup after the match ended in a tie twice -- first in regulation time and then in Super Over -- at the ICC Annual Conference in London last week, Allardice insisted that it was important to have only one world champion.
"The consistent view has been that the World Cup final needs a winner and a Super Over was in the playing conditions to decide a tied Final in each of the last three World Cups (2011, 2015 and 2019)."
Meanwhile, the ICC has also given a green signal to use a stop clock to combat slow over-rates in limited-overs cricket.
"In a T20 innings, the clock would start at 85 minutes when the first ball is bowled, and countdown to zero. The aim is that players, umpires and fans will know that when the clock gets to zero the bowling team should have started the last over.
"If there is a delay or interruption in the match due to an injury or a DRS review then the umpire will push a button on a timer that adds time back onto clock," Allardice said.

Teach English in Colombia
in Colombia
Tarik August 19, 2019, 10:25 pm 58 Views 0 Votes
A report on the state of English literacy in Colombia showed that only 6% of university students obtained a decent level of the language. Another study on Bilingualism in Colombia revealed that 75% of English teachers could not talk in English to Upper-Intermediate standard.
These worrying stats explain the increasing emphasis on learning English if the country is to compete globally. In 2015 a ten-year initiative called Colombia Very Well was launched to increase the number of high school graduates with an intermediate level of English by 2000%.
To achieve this goal, the Ministry of Education committed to paying recruiters who could fill teaching positions with native English speakers. This directive has since created many opportunities for English native speakers over the last five years.
More international students who have participated in semester exchange programs or pursued internships are going back to teach English in Colombia. The different academic calendars between private language academies, public school programs, and bilingual institutions have created a thriving job market for native speakers.
Working in Colombia
The numerous opportunities for native English speakers make it easy to find a job at any time of the year. However, if looking for higher pay, better working hours, and a sponsored visa, send applications to government and private schools 3-6 months before your desired start date.
For university positions, contact directors directly via Facebook and Whatsapp. These platforms are more popular than emails.
To secure a job in a well-paying institution, you need a Bachelor's degree in any field certification like CELTA and TELF and be a Native English speaker. CELTA is an acronym for Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults while TELF stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
The certifications are a pre-requisite for any teaching job in primary and secondary schools. However, Colombian private schools and universities may also require higher qualifications like prior experience or a master's degree. Other companies may require applicants to be fluent in Spanish too.
Most employers prefer native English speakers from the UK, USA, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and Canada. Non-native speakers with high levels of English may still find work. Ensure you are well-acquainted with the different teaching positions so you can plan financially. They include:
Full-time, contracted: In this case, the school sponsors the teacher's work visa. Once the school completes the paperwork, the teacher goes to Bogota to complete the legal process. Since the school has sponsored the permit, the teacher is obliged to teach at that school
Part-time employee: Teachers enrolling for this form of employment receive payment based on the number of classroom hours. As such, tasks relating to offsite work and lesson planning remain unpaid. Such arrangements don't always require the teacher to obtain a work visa
Independent contractor: In this case, the teacher receives payment based on the number of hours worked without additional benefits. Thus, a work visa may not be required
Where to Look for Teaching Jobs in Colombia
Looking for teaching jobs in Colombia can be daunting, especially if you don't know where to start. Apart from online recruiting agencies, consider government-funded agencies. GreenheartTravel, is one such agency funded by the government to hire native teachers and instructors. The Colombian government covers all expenses related to the visa application.
Applicants will also find work in international private schools. The institutions allow EFL teachers who have degrees to teach other disciplines apart from English.
Such institutions send representatives to job fairs in the United States and Canada, so you need to keep updated about upcoming job fairs.
The salary of an English teacher varies based on the institution, experience, and one's qualifications; most teachers receive an average of $500-$1000 per month. Since the cost of living in Colombia is relatively low, it's easy to live comfortably on an income within this range.
Getting a Visa
A visa is a mandatory document for anyone applying for a job as a foreigner. Teachers from the US and Canada, however, can stay in the country as tourists for 90 days and request a three-month extension if looking to secure a job.
If you manage to secure a teaching job, then, it is essential to obtain the M-5 Visa. The visa is valid for three years and restricts the holder to work for the profession with which the permit was granted.
Applicants who manage to secure a job before going to the country can apply for the M-5 visa online via the Colombian Ministry of Affairs website. Once the visa is approved, the applicant is required to go to Bogota to collect the visa.
It is crucial to determine if the school will assist you to obtain a visa especially if it is a pre-requisite for getting the job. Some institutions require a visa but are not willing to sponsor the individual.
As such, the teacher is compelled to obtain sponsorship through another school, then leave and carry the visa to that institution.
Best Cities to Find Work in Colombia
Colombia has transformed from its dark past of crime and drug cartels. It is now a vibrant, fast-developing, and welcoming place to live and work. The cost of living depends on the city and the neighborhood you want to live in.
Rent rates, for example, are pretty stable from region to region, but those on the coastal areas like Cartagena are notably expensive compared to the rest.
A survey on the cost of living in different cities shows you get to spend $1000-$2500 per month. Foreigners looking to move to Colombia permanently should check out these four popular cities:
It is Colombia's second-largest city and has a population of nearly three million people. Medellin has a metro system which makes it easy to get around.
What's more, it boasts up to 30 universities hence provides plenty of opportunities for English-speaking tutors. The climate here is pretty friendly with daytime temperatures ranging from mid-70s F to 80s F. Medellin also has an international airport with direct flights to the US.
If looking to live near the Caribbean coast, this is the place to be. Cartagena has a residential population of one million people and boasts a larger expat community than any other Colombian city.
Apart from the evident hustle and bustle of the city life, there are lots of recreational activities in the region, including bicycle riding, swimming, boating and playing golf.

It is Colombia's capital city and is the hub for commerce and business. Bogota is home to a range of international companies, government organizations, and universities hence ripe for the thriving native-speaking market.
The climate is a little cool compared to other cities with daytime temperatures ranging from 65 F to 48 F. Additionally, the cost of living is significantly higher than that of other cities.
It is the third-largest city in Colombia and has become the economic center of Southwestern Colombia. Cali's thriving economy is credited with increasing real-estate investments and innovation hubs.
In 2016 it hosted a Startup Weekend that showcased the growing entrepreneurial community of the city. The community garners support from investors like Creatic and Coderise, which are learning institutions that provide a large market for tutors looking for employment.
Apart from cultural history and unmatched biodiversity, Colombia is an excellent market for tutors looking to teach English. The low cost of living allows foreigners to enjoy all the pleasantries of the Caribbean coast while working in their preferred professions.

Although London can be very costly, a family holiday to London doesn't have to be expensive: there are many ways to save money on a family trip to London.
To help you get the best out of your holiday, we have thought on how to cut costs during your trip.
If you stay for more than one week this card is what you are looking for. You can use it for all London's public transport and it's cheaper than buying every time a single ticket.
For example, paying cash for a single Underground journey in the centre of London is more than double that paying with an Oyster Card.
Alternatively, if you are staying one week or less, you could still save money doing the Travelcard ticket for 1 day or for 7 days.
With the London Pass you can get free access to 55 major London attractions for as little as £15.83 per day (£11.33 for child) and also allows you to skip lines at some attractions.
You and your family can enjoy and discover the beauty of some of the most attractive and interesting London's museums for free. They also organise (often during weekend) free workshops and family activities designed exclusively by professionals and devoted people.
Whether you are looking for a short term or extended family accommodation, Boutique London Lets have a lot to offer. Our accommodation prices are competitive. When you book one of our apartments you don't have to pay per room like you would in a hotel and you will have all the confort like in your house.
Kitchen essentials like milk, tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt and pepper are also provided for free taking the hassle out of family meal times.
All our apartments are located in central London, easily accesible with close proximity to transports, museums, and London's popular tourist attractions.
Our apartments will make you feel at home and you get all of this at significantly cheaper prices than comparable hotel accommodation.
Check our blog post regarding 'Apartments Vs Hotels: A Comparison' to discover the undeniable advantages to stay in one of our accommodation.
Serviced apartments are growing in popularity as a choice for accommodations when traveling to a different country. There are so many benefits to staying in a serviced apartment that people are beginning to realize that it is the sensible option especially for corporate travelers, budget travelers and people who travel in a large party. It is a great alternative to a hotel stay.
Today here at Boutique London Lets it is a very big day as we are thrilled to introduce you our brand new apartments, The Albany Serviced Apartments, magnificent studios and one-bedroom apartments.
They are located in Bloomsbury, one of London's oldest and exclusive area, location of the British Museum, the British Library and many more attractions.
Let's begin our fantastic journey and discover this amazing district.
We are in King's Cross station, a major railway and underground station in London. There are 6 underground lines (the Piccadilly line is the same line which can bring you directly from Heatrow Airport to here in 40 minutes) and also St Pancras International Station for the Eurostar service. Eurostar operate all train services through the Channel Tunnel to Continental Europe. It is also a great example of Victorian architecture and a triumph of nineteenth century architecture inside.
King's Cross Station is also near many tourist attractions including The British Library and Regent's Park.
Located just 5 minutes from it you will find our Albany Apartments. So, there is no need for a taxi once you will arrive in London!
Right on your doorstep there is the Brunswick shopping centre that allows you to shop, eat and meet in the glorious surroundings of Bloomsbury. It has all you need just next to your accommodation.
Heading to the British Museum, we passed through Russell Square, a great public place, completely redeveloped last year.
The spring is coming and the café is perfect to enjoy the atmosphere of surrounding Bloomsbury back into the area's biggest central square. There is also a small ground-level water fountain and a statue attesting to the permanent status of the Russell family.
We also found this small green huts called cabman's shelter. The Cabmen's Shelter Fund was established in London in 1875 to run shelters for the drivers of cabs. By law, cab drivers could not leave the cab stand while their cab was parked there. This made it very difficult for them to obtain hot meals. Most of these shelter were staffed by an attendant who sold food and (non-alcoholic) drink to the cabbies and were provided with a kitchen in which the attendant could cook this food.Thirteen of the shelters still exist and are still run by the Cabmen's Shelter Fund and the one in Russell square is one of them.
Nearby there is also Torrington Square with its great market where, every Thursday, you can find right in the heart of Bloomsbury, a good selection of farm products and hot food to take away. This fantastic market could represent a valid escape from your office or meeting for an hour. You can pop down and grab some fresh food and fresh air.
Our journey has finished now and we hope you have enjoyed this virtual trip in Bloomsbury and we look forward to seeing you in London!
When traveling to London, either for pleasure or business, a large majority of tourists or businessmen look to hotels for their accommodations. The reason for this is quite easy – a hotel is the most popular type of accommodation for travelers mainly because it is top of mind. But there are other choices that are available for them. One of these choices are London serviced apartments.
Business-related travel has become more and more common over the last decade, thanks in part to globalisation. It's possible for companies to have international partners, suppliers, stakeholders, and consumers--and for managers to need to fly to another part of the world to discuss a potential business venture or check on a project.
In the past, the typical accommodations provided to corporate personnel are hotels. This is a good option if you only plan to stay for a couple of days, but it's not unheard-of for a business trip to last for weeks, or even months. For longer stays, a hotel room is not cost-effective solution and the hotel environment does not provide the homey feel that you would crave for if you've been far away from your family for such a long time. The better option is to book corporate accommodations like apartments to let.
However, your boss' comfort is not the only factor. You have to consider the costs, and the need to spend as efficiently as possible, given the budget. Is there such a thing as affordable luxury? This survival can help you manage all the aspects of finding accommodations for your boss.


This is an event like no other. We've all been to the conferences where sponsors are relegated to an expo hall, often far away from all but forced cocktail hours. At The MarketCounsel Summit, we're proud of the community we've nurtured that's comprised of advisors, service providers, and media. When you're ready, call (866) MKT-CNSL and we'll work with you to craft your participation in a way that achieves your objectives.


There are a whole range of different work platforms available on the market today, including Mobile Elevated Work Platforms, scaffolding, or prefabricated platforms that are intended to be installed on a permanent basis. The style of the platform you require will come down to the nature of the work that needs to be completed. For a small job that is likely to be finished a short amount of time, a mobile access platform will be suitable, while an elevated work area that requires constant attention is better suited to a fixed solution, with limited (if any) portability. Regardless of the platform style, each represents a safe option to your workplace needs.
The following article details the various features of work platforms and their importance for helping to ensure a safe working environment.
There are additional requirements that must be met in order to ensure compliance, but these three are the most fundamental ones.
Work platforms are custom built to complete a specific work task, safely and efficiently. For example, a work platform may be erected to ensure that personnel can operate a piece of equipment at a safe height, avoiding the need for them to extend their arms above their head and potentially increase the risk of injury. There may be times where you need a platform to safely access higher levels so that you can conduct repairs or perform general housekeeping chores.
Whilst your work platform may be at an optimal height for using the equipment, accessing greater heights may involve ascending railings or partaking in other dangerous operations, that may jeopardise your well-being. When buying a work platform, always be sure that it is suitable for every height that you need to be working at.
If you perform your work duties using a permanent, non-portable work platform setup, then you only need to be careful that your floor surface doesn't contain any unwanted clutter or spilt fluids and is not defective in any way. However, if you're using a mobile access platform, you also need to be mindful of the floor surface on which your platform rests.
Some mobile platforms can be configured to maintain a flat, stable surface, even while placed on irregular terrain. Other platforms may be fitted with extra large castor wheels that enable them to safely traverse over mesh floors or other surface indentations. Without these necessary features in place, irregular surfaces or grated floors can create perilous work conditions for those on the platform. When purchasing a mobile work platform, be sure that it is going to be able to handle the unique conditions of your work environment.
One of the greatest qualities of work platforms is their flexibility. During the design phase, consider the possible ways in which the platform can be built to better accommodate future hurdles. Are the jobs going to be completed in the same particular way or in the exact same location? Will repairs need to be conducted that will demand extra access? Will the platform be capable of supporting additional weight in the future, if required?
Developing a flexible access platform solution that is able to adapt to your future working conditions, will save you money in the long run. It is now possible to build work platforms that utilise modular components. For example, you could have two mobile access platforms that have been fitted with detachable railings. Once the railings are detached from one side on each platform, they can be combined into a single, larger platform, doubling the platform work area and its weight capacity.
Concrete Testing - How Often Should It Be Done?
If ever you've asked a materials testing specialist this same question, you'll know that their response has only succeeded in creating even more confusion. The reason for this is that concrete is a very complex subject and there loads of different factors and conditions that must be taken into account.

Technology progress is a key to solar growth and pricing. By extension, the ability to model technology progress is essential to understanding future energy supply and demand.
Solar innovation is widespread. Examples include solar cell efficiency, module manufacturing, and learning innovations with solar system installation and operation. Solar pricing and growth are also supported by innovations in enabling technology, such as battery storage, smart grids and electric vehicles.
Best subset regression is an technique for model building and variable selection. The method looks at all combinations of independent predictor variables for use in a multiple regression model. Model developers and analysts will often struggle with variable selection, especially when the number of predictors is high. Ideally, each set of predictors is run and the best set is selected using a criteria for model performance. The following article provides custom functions for best subset selection that are fast and easy to use.
Modules, inverters and balance of system costs define the total installed cost of a solar PV system.
The three cost components are very simple in nature. In practice, total cost is defined using a detailed cost breakdown structure. The structure must also be applied consistently across projects and over time. The result can be improved cost modeling and management.
A common question concerning the safety of photovoltaic (PV) power systems is the impact of reflected sunlight. PV modules have the potential to impact neighboring structures or activities, notably aviation. It is important to know where the reflected light will go and what the intensity of the light will be at any point in time.
The maptools package has a pruneMap() function t0 crop map objects in R. In practice, the function extracts data from SpatialPolygon or SpatialLine objects given a boundary box or specific area of interest. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent function for high resolution, large data, raster images, which are common in many Earth Science applications. The following post defines a custom function to crop raster images in R and to extract data from SpatialGridDataFrames. The function is tested using a raster image from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM; shown at left). The resulting data is then mapped using the image() function in R.

Facebook going after spammers
Tags: Facebook, Lawsuit, Twitter
Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Facebook | Leave a comment
As annoying as Facebook can be at times, it's nice to see that they are looking out for us to some degree. It seems that Facebook has filed three lawsuits in San Jose courts against several men who tricked people into signing up for mobile subscriptions and then spammed them.
I get annoyed just typing that.
"In three separate complaints, we allege that Steven Richter, Jason Swan, and Max Bounty, Inc. used Facebook to offer enticing, but non-existent products and services," Facebook said in a blog post. "According to our complaints, the defendants, among other things, represented that in order to qualify for certain fake or deceptive offers, people had to spam their friends, sign up for automatic mobile phone subscription services, or provide other information."
No fax payday loans at http://classact2012.com/
Yep, that's annoying. In this age of marketing where we are almost completely desensitized to endless advertisements and sales pitches, consumers like to have a place to go where they can feel safe from it all. Facebook can be a very valuable marketing tool, but you have to do it properly and respectfully. Spamming people, however, qualifies as neither.
We're glad Facebook is doing this. You can use Facebook ads and share links to companies and services that you want to share with your friends. You can be a company who interacts with its customers on Facebook. That stuff is perfectly fine. Facebook is a great way to build and maintain long-term, personal relationships with your customers.
But this spam nonsense has to go. People do it all over Twitter too, and it makes me sick. Why can't people just enjoy something for what it is? Take your "Work from Home" scams elsewhere.
As my mother used to say, "this is why we can't have nice things!" Someone always has to ruin it.
"I've worked with Micah for 10 years now, which I think speaks for itself. He's been extremely loyal and has bent over backwards whenever we've asked. I'm a perfectionist with my loudspeaker designs and I expect a lot out of the people I work with. Micah has always represented our company with passion and integrity; I'm excited to continue working with him!" — Anthony Gallo, Founder and CEO of Anthony Gallo Acoustics

ALLPLAN, Scalypso Integrates Point Clouds in Allplan 2020
MUNICH, Germany, May 30, 2020 – ALLPLAN, an international provider of open BIM solutions, has entered into a partnership with laser scanning specialist Scalypso in order to make point cloud based working accessible to a wide range of users in a simple and practical form. As part of the cooperation, a plug-in was developed which is available in the current Allplan 2020 version.
Increasingly, laser scanners are being used to create measurements of existing buildings in a time-saving and precise manner. The result is dense point clouds, often comprising millions of individual points. With such amounts of data, it is difficult to keep track and distinguish relevant from irrelevant information. Another challenge is that there is a multitude of laser scanners from different manufacturers that store their data in different manufacturer-specific file formats.
"3D laser scanning is a powerful tool when it comes to documenting large and complex structures accurately. Especially for the BIM-based planning of existing structures it is an important basis to avoid planning errors and to reduce liability risks. We are therefore pleased that Allplan users now have a direct interface to the Scalypso application and can use the evaluation as a basis for their further planning," says Kevin Lea, Senior Vice President Product Management at ALLPLAN.
Maximillian Alopaeus, structural engineer and Mika Konttila, BIM specialist at the Finnish engineering firm IdeaStructura, underline the value of the new application: "With the direct integration of Scalypso in Allplan, we always have all the information from the construction site available during the design process. This saves us time, increases design quality and prevents errors".
"We offer our customers the opportunity to quickly and effectively create as-built documents for a high degree of planning security within the scope of digitization by using 3D laser scan data with Scalypso and Allplan. Thanks to the even closer technical exchange with Allplan in the future, we can react very quickly to the requirements of users in the further development of our Scalypso software and look forward to working with ALLPLAN," says Dr. Ralf König from engineering office Dr. König.
Point cloud processing in Allplan
With the converter included in the plug-in, scan data in different formats can be imported, both from the manufacturer-neutral format ASTM E57 and from the manufacturer-specific formats of Faro, Leica, Riegl, Topcon, Trimble and Zoller+Fröhlich, as well as from ASCII formats.

Ford is to move US production of its new Ford Focus car to China in 2019, despite having faced pressure to keep manufacturing jobs in America.
The carmaker said the decision would not lead to layoffs in the US.
But the move marks another change to its plans for producing the new Focus.
The firm in January scrapped plans to move US production to a new $1.6bn plant in Mexico after criticism from Donald Trump.
Currently, Ford makes its Focus cars in Michigan, Germany and in China.
But it has seen sales of the model fall in the US, while demand for larger vehicles remains.
It was planning to move US production of the Focus to a new factory near San Luis Potosi in Mexico.
That decision drew fierce criticism from the US president, who has routinely blasted car makers and other companies for importing goods from other countries, including China and Mexico.


The articles, Mass Interpersonal Persuasion by BJ Fogg, and Social Network Sites: Public, Private, or What by Danah Boyd, both explore the expansion of social networking sites, their societal acceptance, and the implications their future growth. However, each author takes a separate approach in their framing of social media and its uses. For Danah Boyd, this scaffolding revolves around the clash of public and private spheres especially as it relates to the relationship between today's youth and educators. This lens is reflexive of Fogg's asserting of the growth of Mass Interpersonal Persuasion within social networking sites, but it also juxtaposes the relationship between this growth and Boyd's concept of the private space.
In Boyd's article, the separation of physical and virtual spaces forms the precedence between the dissonance of utilization within social networks. While the use of social networking sites is pervasive in technologic-communication society there exists a tension within the perception of this space as a personal forum vs. a public forum. In particular, the youth of our society is confronted with the distribution of identity on social networking sites, but the separation of personal and public spheres of these sites is perceived differently by the young and old. Correspondingly, this difference in perception is a result of "mediated publics with a homogeneous audience are not nearly so well-received in a mediated public with variable audiences (Boyd 3)." I find that Boyd's assertions of co-opting the public and private spheres provides only a limited understanding of the cross-sectioning of public and private spheres–by only focusing upon the disparity between youths and educators Boyd fails to encompass the gravity of distribution within mass publics.
1. Persuasive Experience: An experience that is created to change attitudes, behaviors, or both.
2. Automated Structure: Digital technology structures the persuasive experience.
4. Rapid Cycle: The persuasive experience can be distributed quickly from one person to another.
5. Huge Social Graph: The persuasive experience can potentially reach millions of people connect through social ties or structured interactions.
6. Measured Impact: The effect of the persuasive experience is observable by users and creators.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Fluctuate
Purchase demand continues to tumble as the cumulative impact of higher rates, elevated home prices, increased recession risk, and declining consumer confidence take a toll on homebuyers. It's clear that over the past two years, the combination of the pandemic, record low mortgage rates, and the opportunity to work remotely spurred greater demand. Now, as the market adjusts to a higher rate environment, we are seeing a period of deflated sales activity until the market normalizes.
Current Mortgage Rates Data Since 1971 xls
Primary Mortgage Market Survey®
U.S. weekly averages as of 08/17/2022
Average commitment rates should be reported along with average fees and points to reflect the total upfront cost of obtaining the mortgage. Visit the following link for the Definitions. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey.
Week of July 25, 2022 in Review
The last week of July was jam-packed with news, including a Fed rate hike, hot inflation numbers, crucial housing data and a negative reading for second quarter GDP. Here are the key headlines:
Fed Hikes Rates Another 75 Basis Points
As expected, the Fed hiked its benchmark Fed Funds Rate by an aggressive 75 basis points at its meeting last Wednesday. This follows the 75 basis point hike they made at their June meeting, and marks only the second time the Fed has hiked by 75 basis points since 1994.
Note that the Fed Funds Rate is the interest rate for overnight borrowing for banks and it is not the same as mortgage rates. The main tool the Fed uses to curb inflation is hiking its benchmark Fed Funds Rate, so counterintuitively Fed rate hikes can be good for mortgage rates if they're perceived to curb inflation.
What's the bottom line? During his press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that another "unusually large increase could be appropriate" at their meeting on September 20-21, but it will depend on the data received between now and then. This includes the July and August Jobs Reports, as well as key inflation numbers. Unusually large means they are leaving another 75 basis point hike on the table for September, but they may have to moderate the amount based on data we receive.
Consumer Inflation Reaches 40-Year High in June
The Fed was certainly watching on Friday when its favorite measure of inflation, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), showed that inflation rose a hotter than expected 1% in June. The year over year reading rose from 6.3% to 6.8%, which was higher than the 6.7% expected and the highest reading since 1982. Core PCE, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose by 0.6%, pushing the year over year change from 4.7% to 4.8%.
Signed Contracts on Existing and New Homes Slowed in June
Pending Home Sales fell 8.6% from May to June, coming in much weaker than the 1% decline expected. Sales were also 20% lower than they were in June of last year. This is a critical report for taking the pulse of the housing market, as it measures signed contracts on existing homes, which represent around 90% of the market.
New Home Sales, which measure signed contracts on new homes, also declined 8.1% in June to a 590,000-unit annualized pace. In addition, May's report was revised sharply lower from 696,000 to 642,000 signed contracts. Year over year, sales were down 17.4% in June.
Also of note, the median price for new homes moved lower from $444,500 in May to $402,400 in June. But remember, this is not the same as appreciation. It simply means half the homes sold were above that price and half were below it and it could reflect people shopping for lower priced homes or even choosing lesser amenities when signing contracts in June. Two crucial appreciation reports showed that appreciation remained at very strong levels in May. See those details below.
What's the bottom line? There is no doubt that higher interest rates have impacted demand for homes, especially in June when rates had reached their apex. But low inventory continues to be a factor as well. Remember, a 6 months' supply of homes is considered representative of a balanced market. There were 1.26 million existing homes available for sale at the end of June, which equates to just a 3 months' supply, and 457,000 new homes, representing a 9.3 months' supply.
However, that's not the whole story when it comes to new home inventory.
Only 41,000 or about 9% were actually completed. The rest were either not started or under construction, which speaks to the delays and supply chain constraints builders have faced. When factoring in the amount of completed homes, the month's supply of homes available was really less than a month at 25 days. This ongoing imbalance of supply and demand should continue to be supportive of home prices
Home Price Appreciation Still Hot in May
The Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is considered the "gold standard" for appreciation, showed home prices rose 1.5% in May and 19.7% year over year. This annual reading is a slight decline from the 20.6% gain reported in April but still extremely hot.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) also released their House Price Index. This report measures home price appreciation on single-family homes with conforming loan amounts, which means it most likely represents lower-priced homes. Home prices rose 1.4% in May and 18.3% year over year. This is a slight decrease from the 18.8% rise reported for April, but again still very hot.
What's the bottom line? The Case-Shiller and FHFA reports are dated as they're for May, but appreciation was still extremely strong as of that time. While these reports do not fully take into account the rise in interest rates we've seen this year, they do include some of the increase. With appreciation still so strong through May, this is supportive of the belief that while we may see home price gains slow, we shouldn't see decreases in pricing.
Does the Negative Second Quarter GDP Reading Signal a Recession?
The first or advanced reading of second quarter GDP came in at -0.9%, which follows the -1.6% final reading that was reported for the first quarter. While it's possible that the reading for the second quarter may be revised when the second and final readings are reported on August 25 and September 29 respectively, as of now we do have two consecutive quarters of negative GDP.
What's the bottom line? While two consecutive quarters of negative GDP is not the official definition of recession, it became a Wall Street rule-of-thumb because we have never had successive quarterly declines in real GDP without the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) officially announcing one. The NBER will ultimately make the call regarding whether we're in a recession and they may wait to see some increases in the unemployment rate before doing so. Recession or not, growth has slowed notably this year and is continuing to do so in the third quarter as well.
Initial Jobless Claims Top 250,000 for Second Straight Week
Initial Jobless Claims fell by 5,000 in the latest week, as 256,000 people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time. However, the previous week's tally of Initial Jobless Claims was revised higher by 10,000 to 261,000. The last two weeks of reporting mark the only times Initial Jobless Claims have topped 250,000 since last November. Continuing Claims, which measure people who continue to receive benefits after their initial claim is filed, fell by 25,000 to 1.359 million.
What's the bottom line? Initial Jobless Claims have been steadily moving higher, with the 4-week average increasing again to its highest level since November. The trajectory higher is likely to continue, given the announcements of significant layoffs from several public companies, which means we will eventually see a higher unemployment rate. This report can be the "canary in the coal mine" to show that the job market is starting to soften.
The first full week of August means crucial news from the labor sector is ahead. On Thursday, the latest Jobless Claims data will be reported while Friday brings the Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Report for July, which includes Non-farm Payrolls and the Unemployment Rate.
Note that ADP announced they are retooling their Employment Report, which measures private sector payrolls, so that report will not be released this week.
Also of note, the ISM Index for July will be released on Monday and may give us more clues if there is further slowdown in the manufacturing sector.
Mortgage Bonds broke above overhead resistance at the 100-day Moving Average on Friday. If this result holds, the next ceiling is up at the 102.214 Fibonacci Level. The 10-year is currently trading in the middle of a range with the 2.577% Fibonacci level acting as support and a dual ceiling comprised of the 100-day Moving Average and 2.79% level.
