As hilarious as they are, the anti-crime balls remain largely unused. In fact, research conducted by Japan's National Police Agency indicate that they have been used in only three percent of robberies so far. That's understandable – when faced with a life-threatening situation, throwing a paintball at an armed criminal is probably the last thing you'd want to do. If you miss, it might just be the last day of your life.
Interestingly, staff members in shops are given training on how to throw the balls effectively. They're asked to aim at the floor near the culprit's feet, because the resulting splash will ensure that some paint will stick to him anyway. If that doesn't work, employees are asked to throw the anti-crime balls at the getaway car – another indicator that the police can look for. In spite of this training, the balls haven't been used much.
"We have introduced color balls in all of our 8,500 stores, and we put signs on them so there's no mistake about what they're there for," said Kazuo Kimura, senior manager for public relations at a convenience store.
The balls have a limited shelf life, because the pigment tends to harden over time. So existing users need to keep purchasing replacements, which makes the market an estimated 100,000 balls a year. There's no marketing, though: manufacturers keep a low profile in order to prevent individuals from buying them for vandalism.


And it takes asking a lot of questions – from the practical ones about hours and meals, to the personal ones about discipline and toilet training. As parents talk to providers, the most important question to consider is, "Will my child receive loving and careful attention?"
Your local child care resource and referral agency can help you choose the type of care that best fits your needs and values.
Care offered in the home of the provider, who is often a parent. The number of children a family child care provider can care for depends on the ages of the children and whether or not there is an assistant or a second provider. Family child care providers often care for children of different ages, and are licensed by the State.
A facility that can provide care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children all or part of the day. Although generally larger than family child care homes, centers may be large or small and can be operated independently or by a church or other organization. Child care centers are sometimes called "nursery schools" or "preschools". Child care centers are licensed by the State.
Care provided by a friend, relative, neighbor, babysitter, or nanny in the child or adult's home. This care is not licensed, but in-home care providers can register with TrustLine*, California's criminal background check for license-exempt providers.
Interview and observe the potential provider with the child.
Explore why this caregiver wants to care for children.
How does s/he feel about this work?
Is this person warm, caring, attentive, and responsive to the child who will be in this care?
What do they like to do with children?
What are their feelings about discipline?
How do they handle naps, eating, toilet training?
How would they handle an emergency?
What if my child cries all day?
What if my child refuses to nap?

Bilried was founded by Scott Herr to provide "reality" assistance to entrepreneurs, inventors, and investors, with the goal of improving the chances of success for new and renewing businesses. By "reality" assistance, we mean the application of real life experience - things that aren't found in classrooms or books.
We seek to work with entrepreneurs and inventors who are truly looking for results and not just fancy reports, often taking an active role in the company's management for a period of time, allowing for better implementation and training of those who will continue in the roles.
We seek to work with investors who are truly looking to improve on the 10% success rate of most investors. We can provide exceptional due diligence for considering investments, improve performance of existing investments, and position the investment for merger or acquisition to make an exit strategy truly work.
As a veteran of several successful start-ups, and holder of 19 U.S. and foreign patents for new products and technologies, Scott Herr draws on more than 30 years of "reality" experience, and is uniquely qualified to help a company structure or restructure to find its way through any phase.
Unlike other consultants, Bilried has no set fee schedule and generally does not charge by the hour, but by the project. We do NOT focus on "billable hours". This allows the client to budget accurately without fear of overruns or of being "nickel and dimed" for every phone call, email, etc. Satisfactory completion of the project at hand is always the main focus.
Our interest is in forming a partnership - a "win-win", and because we believe strongly in our capabilities, we are even willing to trade equity for services and, under the right circumstances will even invest in the enterprise as well.
The name "Bilried" comes from the Herr family's ancestor, a Swiss knight known as Hugo Herrn von Bilried (Master of Bilried) who appeared in Schwabia (an area near modern Zurich, Switzerland) in the year 1009. Hugo's descendant, Hans, emigrated to the United States through Germany, purchasing 25,000 acres of land in southeastern Pennsylvania from Willam Penn in 1709. Strangely, the title was modified and kept as the family name (Herrn > Herr), and the ancestral estate name (von Bilried) was dropped.

Q: Salesforce1 Mobile Card I have created a visualforce page that is essentially a button that will be placed on a Contact's page. When pushed it will redirect the user to another visualforce page and carry along the contact id. I have added this visualforce page to the mobile card section of the corresponding layout. Here is what it looks like from the salesforce1 emulator

The problem that I am facing is that when I try to click the button it takes me to a brand new page with just the button where I have to click it again in order for it to redirect.

Here is the code for the button
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardController="Contact">
  <apex:outputLink styleClass="btn" value="{!URLFOR($Page.MobileContactContactAddRelationship, contact.id)}">
    <apex:outputText value="Create Relationship"/>
  </apex:outputLink>
</apex:page>

So does anyone know why the button will go to a new page where I have to reclick it?

A: This is the default behavior of the Mobile Cards, where the Mobile Card simply shows a preview of the Visualforce page. Once clicked, you are redirected to the full Visualforce page.

Very interesting and useful Web site for DJs or anyone interested in how tandas are structured. Every week the blog is updated with a new tanda by the author, DJ Antti Suniala. There are links to various sources where the music in the tanda can be listened to or purchased. The site contains discussions of the music in the tandas and contributions from guest DJs. Tandas are built around primarily Golden Age composers and lyricists. The site is updated on a regular basis.
Chris Jordan has provided a list of some of the various milongas he has DJ'ed, together with a detailed listing of all the music played at those milongas. The list provides the name of the orchestra, the name of the song, the duration, date of publication, information about the song, an excerpt of the music, and the ways in which a particular song can be combined with other songs by the same composer and how it was used at various milongas Chris DJ'ed. A rich, highly detailed look at the way a skilled DJ creates a set for a milonga. An excellent resource for current or aspiring DJs. Update: Chris has added a new search feature to his blog. You can search on any aspect of the music, such as orchestra or song title, and get detailed results about the song, the orchestras that played it, other songs that go well with it, and where it appeared in Chris's list of DJ sets.
I mentioned this site under the main resources page because of the extensive information on tango provided by the author, Keith Elshaw. However, Mr. Elshaw is in the business of providing high-quality digital restorations of early tango music. He explains his restoration method in considerable detail and explains why it differs from commercially available CDs. If you're a DJ or a collector or just a serious listener, I imagine this would be the "go-to" site for tango music. Keith is also an outstanding DJ, well known not only for the clarity of his recordings but the range and diversity of the music he plays, including many tangos that are rarely heard today.
Tango-DJ, which is dedicated "to the preservation of Argentinian tango" music, provides free access to a searchable database of more than 70,000 songs. Visitors can search by title, artist, genre, date, album and other parameters. An annual membership fee provides access to sound samples of the songs, cover art, and advanced search features. Full membership offers discounts on CDs, access to transfers in lossless format, and more. The database provides a wealth of information, including the title, album, recording date, singer (if any), album, duration, and publisher. There are also some useful resources for DJs.
A wonderful Web site on how to build a collection of tango music for a milonga by Stephen and Susan Brown. The site is very well laid out and easy to follow and provides useful information on how to build a collection, essential elements of that collection, and where to find music. Catalogs composers and orchestras by period and style ("old guard," "early golden age," "golden age," etc.) are provided. Contains interesting and useful information on fidelity and availability. Excellent if you want to build a collection for home use or even as a starter guide for a DJ.
A Web site by Anton Sukhanov. Excellent resource providing a discography of most of the important composers of Argentine tango, along with brief samples of their music. The site is very nicely organized and easy to navigate. Each composer is given a separate page and recordings are broken down by year or orchestra. If their is a singer, the singer is listed alongside the composer. There are separate pages for milongas and vals rhythms.
Not a discography but a collection of tango lyrics together with English translations by Derrick del Pilar. The song titles are organized alphabetically by their original Spanish title. The translations are by the author and there are sections on translation and word choice that are worth perusing.
In French but for those who read the language, a useful compendium of orchestra leaders and their discographies, singers, dancers, film directors, etc. Entries are alphabetical and the site has a wealth of useful and obscure information about the people who made tango what it is today. Entries range from short biographical statements to lengthy biographies and discographies.
A Web site not limited to music but one that provides extensive information on composers and recordings. The site makes use of an interesting organizational scheme. The author lists individual songs by title, together with the composer, lyricist, genre, and so on. Clicking on a song title links to a page listing every orchestra that has played that song, the vocalist, the year, the orchestra, and information about the recording. For example, the author lists 140 performances of El Choclo by various orchestras, several by Juan D'Arienzo. Clicking on the "info" link next to the title and composer brings you to a discography of D'Arienzo's recordings of that song and where they were recorded, together with track information, duration, and so on. Very detailed and, I would imagine, highly useful for DJs. In addition to songs and albums, the site contains extensive information on composers, singers, lyricists, musicians, DJs, and dance teachers.
In cooperation with TangoVia Buenos Aires we promote the project "Tango Digital Archive" with the goal to archive the recordings and documents of Tango Argentino in their entirety.
A commercial site, but they appear to be serious about making high-quality digital recordings of older work available to the public.
In English and Spanish. As the title states, the site is devoted to the work of Francisco Canaro. It contains what it claims to be the most reliable and up-to-date discography of Canaro's recordings and links to other resources and discographies. The site is maintained by Christoph Lanner. The information, broken down by period, includes title, genre, creator (composer), version, label, catalog number, matrix number, recording date, and remarks. The site is nicely laid out and easy to use.
Another Web site that has translated the lyrics to a number of Golden Age tangos. The site includes translations of the lyrics together with the original Spanish, discussions of the text, and links to the music itself. Tango Decoder currently offers English-language versions of 70 tangos and new translations are added weekly. The site was started in January 2014 but already contains a considerable amount of useful information. So, if you're curious about a particular song or just want to get a better idea of what those lyrics are actually about, this is a good place to start.
A very useful database of tango music. Contains information on song titles, orchestras, composers, singers, dates, and more. Provides samples of all songs and information about their history. El Recodo also provides a very useful search feature, allowing you to search for a song title and providing a list of every recording of that song. Song information includes lyrics, dates, and some wonderful suggestions for building a tanda around a particular song. Also includes a fun tango quiz for anyone who would like to test their musical knowledge.
I've added this link to a page at Tango Voice because it provides one of the fullest descriptions of how tandas are generally put together in milongas in Buenos Aires. It includes a detailed breakdown of orchestras, periods, and songs, together with extensive links to examples of the music and to other Web sites for understanding tango music and creating tandas. An invaluable resource for a DJ.
Jens-Ingo Brodesser is a tango DJ. His blog provides a wealth of information about the production of tango music, and the history of various recordings and record labels. The site contains a wealth of details about record production, record labels, composers, conductors, and performers. There is information about DJ'ing and audio technology as well. If you're a DJ or simply interested in the history of Argentine tango music, this is a valuable resource.
A nice discussion of tango musicality with a number of examples drawn from popular tangos. The author deconstructs several songs into sections for a better understanding of how the music is structured and how we might interpret it.


I just built a new high end pc and have some questions about the best way and where to install scenery.
I have a 1TB nvme m.2 for the OS, a 500GB EVO 860 for the core P3D install. I was planning on putting all the scenery on a 7200 HDD. Would I be better off adding an additional SSD for scenery and other utilities? Would an adding an Optane help with the Scenery loads if I end up leaving them on the HDD?
As for the scenery installation, would I be best to install all the Orbx sceneries then other add on airports (FSDreamTeam and others) along with Drzewiecki city scenes or the other way around. Either way I was planning on running the Vector configuration only once after all scenery was loaded.
Hopefully I'll be able to post some screenshots this weekend.
Your making it way to complicated. The worst thing you can do is put your scenery on a mechanical drive. Buy a SSD big enough for your P3D install and put it all on one drive. The scenery install order does not matter. As far as vector is concerned I hate it. Worst ORBX product ever. If your regions are covered by UTX consider that as a much better alternative.
I would definitely recommend to put P3D on the 1TB m.2 and the OS on the EVO 860 SSD and ignore the HD drives altogether unless you are installing the entire megascenery packages.
I have P3D on a 500Gb WD black m.2 and with write speeds up to 3,400/2,800 MB/s it's simply awesome, I timed it and it takes me exactly 1:20 to load P3D to takeoff with Orbx, and Drzewiecki Seatle X at Drzewiecki KSEA and with everything it comes out to 180Gb. I have my OS on the second 250Gb M.2 and everything else on a couple of WD 1TB Blue SSD's and couldn't be happier.


Hi Buckley, had an enjoyable read. We've already talked about several fixes with the explanations and what details could be added over Discord. I would also note that a lot of apostrophes are found throughout the article that are used incorrectly. Other than that, if you apply some of the changes to the phrasing, it would definitely elevate this article.
Specifically, the Background needing tweaking to talk about where we know of its origins from in a realistic manner, not just the fossil records. Hope my suggestion was helpful!


I decided to make a 7'6″ 5 weight designed by Tim Abbott – the Abbot Paraverage.This design is a great all around fly rod. I plan on donating this rod to a local fundraiser so it should be a great introduction to the joys of fishing with cane for someone.
In the last post I had just completed baking the rough planed strips of bamboo to straighten them and get out any residual moisture.
Once the strips are out of the oven the finish planning begins. A metal planing form is setup based on the final taper of the rod to be produced. The taper is the primary factor that controls the action of the rod. The planing form has a set of set screws every five inches to adjust for various tapers. Once the form is set up the final planning begins each strip is laid into the form and hand planed creating tapered strips that retain a 60 degree V-angle.
After all the strips are completed, they are laid out in order, glue is applied, then they are bound together with a string binding machine which exerts equal pressure along the rod blank as the glue dries.
After the glue cures the string is removed and the rod blank is sanded. After sanding is completed the ferrules, tip top and grip are added and the rod is ready for the finishing touches – adding the guides and wraps.
Reel seats – I enjoy turning my own reel seats, this allows me to give each rod a unique highlight. For this rod I'm using padauk an african hardwood with a deep reddish color.


Less than 24 hours after seeing their longest winning streak of the season snapped, the Washington Capitals have a chance to get back on track.
It won't be easy against another one of the NHL's hottest teams.
The Capitals seek to bounce back Saturday night when they visit the Montreal Canadiens, winners of three straight games and eight of 10.
Washington (27-12-3) had won seven straight and 12 of its last 13 entering Friday night, but ran into a hot goalie in Steve Mason and fell 3-0 at home to Columbus. Mason stopped all 45 shots for his second shutout this season over the Capitals, who lost at the Verizon Center for the first time since a 5-3 loss to Florida on Dec. 2.
Capitals star Alex Ovechkin failed to score despite putting 12 shots on net. Washington is 7-6-1 this season when Ovechkin either has no points or doesn't play, compared with a 20-6-2 mark when he records at least one point.
Those would appear to be All-Star caliber numbers, as are Ovechkin's 27 goals - tied for the league lead. However, the fans, possibly influenced by the All-Star game's location in Montreal later this month, failed to elect Ovechkin a starter and gave him fewer votes than three Montreal forwards - Alex Kovalev, Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay.
"It's not right the best player in the game is not a starter," said Boudreau, who also referred to the vote as "dumb." "But it is what it is. We want to get the fans involved, and they've got the right to vote for whoever they want."
Ovechkin has a goal and an assist in two games versus Montreal this season. The Capitals won both meetings by a combined 5-1 margin, including a 3-0 home victory Nov. 28 behind 26 saves from former Canadien Jose Theodore. That game still stands as both Montreal's lone shutout loss of the season and Theodore's only shutout in a Washington uniform.
The Canadiens' current starting goalie, Carey Price, has been sidelined by a lower-body injury for the last four games. Thanks to Jaroslav Halak, Montreal (24-10-6) has scarcely missed him.
Halak has been in net for all three games of his team's current winning streak. He made 30 saves and benefited from Montreal's surging offense, which scored six goals for the third straight contest.
"Everyone played so well and Jaro made the big saves," said defenseman Patrice Brisebois, who assisted on all three of the Canadiens' first-period goals. "It's a huge two points and it's fun. We're playing great hockey right now."
Montreal, 8-1-1 since a season-high three-game losing streak, has a showdown with the Northeast Division-leading Bruins in Boston on Tuesday. Koivu, who has missed 12 games with a lower-body injury, could be ready to return to the lineup by then according to a report on the Canadiens' official Web site.
"When the team is winning, it's a lot easier to ease into your return to the lineup," Koivu said. "At this point of my career, I've had enough injuries in my day to know that rushing things is never a good idea."


In 1974 Barbara Summers was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. One week after learning of the cancer Barbara was scheduled for a modified radical mastectomy. Her story and the testimony of her husband Paul and three children is an example of unwavering trust in the grace and mercy of God during times of testing.
Paul and Barbara currently live in Springfield Missouri. Paul graduated from Bob Jones University with a BA in Christian education and Bible.
February 11, 1974 was a cold Kansas wintry day. "Your tumor is malignant, Barbara," Dr. Myers said over the telephone. "We'll schedule you for a modified radical mastectomy in a week. OK?" Silence filled the room. I was stunned and could not answer. "Are you okay, Barbara?" he asked. "Yes, I'm okay," I finally replied and he hung up. A week earlier he told me since I was only 28 years old, he doubted the tumor was malignant. However, they wanted to be 100% sure so they sent the biopsy to a Kansas City lab to confirm it was cancer.
Soon my husband Paul came home from work. "Honey, Dr. Myers called this afternoon and told me the tumor is malignant and I will need a mastectomy," I said calmly. He drew me close and we hugged and cried together. In 1974, if you got cancer it was like a death sentence.
Paul got up and tearfully called all our family members. We were in such a state of shock we could not say the C-word! " Paul, I'll come by train for a week to help take care of your children," said my sister Brenda from Ohio. When she and her daughter Eve left, my parents from Pennsylvania came for another week. My family's love and support encouraged me so much!
The day of my surgery arrived. God gave me such wonderful peace that whole week waiting for surgery! None of us like being in waiting rooms do we? Not even God's! However the Lord was preparing me so I could handle this valley. I ran to his Word and claimed so many of His precious promises to sustain me and strengthen my faith in Him.
"What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee." Psalms 53:6. The peace that flowed through me could only come from God! "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." Isaiah 26:3. I never really questioned God, "Why me?" Deuteronomy 29:29 says "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God." I was lean'n on the Lord perfectly content knowing my heavenly Father designed this affliction for my good.
"Barbara, wake up. Your surgery is over," the nurse said. "Good news! There was no evidence of cancer in your lymph nodes but pathology will check them to be sure. We'll know in a few days," Dr. Myers told me later. WOW! Were we praising the Lord!
Having recently gone through cancer herself, she told me "Barbara, when I heard my cancer diagnosis, I didn't handle it very well." She realized what a difference it makes when you are born again and can turn your burdens over to the Lord and leave them there. He is a sovereign God and we must trust He is in control and that He can handle the situation better than we can. She later found that out herself from personal experience. She came to know the Lord in a very personal way. Her faith in God was strengthened. The joy of the Lord was now her strength as He was mine! I told the Lord later, "Lord, I'm willing to go through cancer surgery all over again to be used of You to bring someone to You or to a closer walk with You." I really meant it.
A few days later as Dr. Myers was making his rounds he told me, "Barbara, your lymph nodes were all free of cancer!" "So when can I go home?" I asked. I shed a few tears as we talked and he sat down on the bed beside me and put his arm around me to comfort me saying, "Well, now I know you're normal." (I hadn't cried the whole time in the hospital until then.) We both laughed.
My first Sunday back at church I sang, "He Touched Me!" from my heart.
The Lord has since brought me through over twenty years of chronic back and leg pain with depression. Our Silent Missionary ministry began in 1993 when I asked God what I could do as a disabled person confined to bed so much. A job related injury; in addition, 4 car accidents resulted in 10 back surgeries yet I'm Still Lean'n On You, Lord.

Q: jQuery Cycle multi slideshows and independent keyboard navigation I have a page with 2 (or more) jQuery tabs. Each tab contains a jQuery Cycle slideshow with prev/next paging appended in the code.
I've added keyboard navigation of the slideshows, based on a tutorial at jqueryfordesigners dot com.
Keyboard nav works for each slideshow but the slides page in synchrony, i.e. if paging to the  3rd slide in tab 1, when tab 2 is viewed it is showing it's 3rd too.
Any way to make them page independently?
See http://pastie.org/916682
Edit: the slideshows page independently when clicking prev/next, but not with kbd nav.

A: Solved. I'd been missing the obvious: the major difference between the active and inactive tabs is visibility, so adding :visible to the penultimate selector (for the tab divs) is all it took.
$(document.documentElement).keyup(function(event) {
    var direction = null;
    if (event.keyCode == 37) {
        direction = 'prev';
    } else if (event.keyCode == 39) {
        direction = 'next';
    }
    if (direction != null) {
        $('#content > div:visible').each(function(index) {
            $('#prev-slide,#next-slide', this)[direction]().click();
        });
    }

Q: NullPointerException on reading XML node Java I'm trying to read some XML nodes and store them into a Java object. I can read some of the elements of the object while I can't read others and I don't know why. Here is how a part of the XML looks like:
<problems>
  <problem id = "1">
      <quest>22-16:4</quest>
      <result>18</result>
      <chapter_id>1</chapter_id>

      <result>30</result>
      <chapter_id>1</chapter_id>
       <type>text</type>

      <result>45</result>
      <chapter_id>1</chapter_id>
       <type>text</type>
  </problem>
</problems>

And here is the XMLHandler:
try {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
        SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();

    File fXmlFile = new File("C:\\Users\\buciu\\workspace\\teachApp\\xml\\problems.xml");
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = dBuilder.parse(fXmlFile);
    doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

    NodeList nList = doc.getElementsByTagName("problem");

    for (int temp = 0; temp < nList.getLength(); temp++) {

        Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
        Node nNode = nList.item(temp);

        if (nNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

            Element eElement = (Element) nNode;

            Problem p = new Problem();
            ChapterDAO chdao=new ChapterDAO();

            p.setQuest(eElement.getElementsByTagName("quest").item(0).getTextContent());
            p.setResult(eElement.getElementsByTagName("result").item(0).getTextContent());
            Chapter c = chdao.findTChapter(eElement.getElementsByTagName("chapter_id").item(0).getTextContent());
            p.setType(eElement.getElementsByTagName("type").item(0).getTextContent());
            p.setChapter(c);

            session.save(p);
            transaction.commit();
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

I can read the quest, result and chapter_id elements, but I cannot read the type element. I used my application without it so far, I just added it as a new element and now I want to create another object, updated.
The error it gives me is simple(pointing at the line with setting the type element):
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at testsManagement.XMLHandler.readXMLProblems(XMLHandler.java:57)
    at Main.main(Main.java:30)

So do you see where is the problem? Thanks!

A: First of all, can you give a snippet of the full module? the error says it's on the line 57 but there are not enough lines to see where actually crashes, it can be that you cannot access propperly, or you're reading an EOF from the Xml.
Or, at least, marrk the exact line where it crashes.
Help us to help you :)

Pioneers in Every Way

Tag-A-Long Expeditions is getting ready for a big celebration. Next year, 2014, will mark the 50th anniversary of unique backcountry expeditions and river trips.
Bob Jones has been part of Tag-A-Long for 32 of those years, having purchased the business in 1982 from the original owners, Mitch and Mary Williams.
Jones was already tourism savvy when he became owner of Tag-A-Long. He worked for a motorcoach company and incentive tour operator in Portland, Ore., as well as at Grand Canyon National Park.
It was Yellowstone National Park, however, that gave Jones the opportunity to soar in the hospitality industry and finally into Moab. He was hired to run the reservations operation at Mammoth Hotel at Yellowstone, but his enthusiasm and work ethic soon launched him into the position of travel director with the responsibility for all tours, reservations and travel arrangements within the park. Before leaving Yellowstone, a very young but very skilled Bob Jones had become general manager of all guest services for the Yellowstone Park Company.
It is this kind of hard work and passion that has made Tag-A-Long Expeditions one of the premiere outfitters for people visiting the Canyonlands region.
"Mitch contacted my business partner, Paul Niskanen, in Portland when he and Mary were thinking about retiring. Paul called me and I thought, what the heck? Candidly, I thought I'd be in Moab for five years and then move on, but I like the area, I like the town and here I am," Jones said.
Tag-A-Long Expeditions has always been a pioneer in the outfitting business.
"It wasn't until about 1981, after the uranium industry failed, that people started coming to Moab in big numbers. Tag-A-Long was one of only two outfitters to offer trips of any kind," Jones said.
Jones took his pioneer approach to tours to a whole new level when he started offering opera in a grotto on the Colorado River.
"Paul knew the director of the Portland Opera and he came out here for a river trip," Jones said. "We took him up to the grotto and he sang a note or two and said, 'wow, this would be a great place to perform!'"
And so the Portland Opera and then the Utah Opera and finally, the New York Metropolitan Opera came to Moab, or more specifically, to a grotto on the Colorado River. These events grew into what Jones called the Classic Concert Series where he also featured the Utah Symphony and the University of Utah Ballet.
"When we had the ballet performance on the river, we hauled 8,000 pounds of stage downriver and set it up. They brought 15-16 dancers, stage managers, everything you need to put on a first-class performance," Jones remembered.
When the Moab Music Festival began in 1992, Tag-A-Long Expeditions was well poised to assist in the logistics of getting a baby grand piano down the river.
"Basically it takes about eight really big guys to pick it up, load it on the front deck of the boat, float it down the river, and haul it from the water up the embankment and into the grotto," said Jones, as if it's an everyday occurrence.
Classical music and dance are not the only kind of specialty trips that Tag-A-Long offers.
"One of our most popular trips is to the Navajo Reservation. Visitors to this country want to see how Native Americans live and want to experience that life," Jones said. "We tell them the only way to do it is to go camping, eat traditional foods, listen and learn from the Navajo people. If someone wants to stay in a motel, we tell them this isn't the trip for them."
Guests on this trip experience a sweat lodge, demonstrations of traditional Navajo arts and crafts, and even a visit from a Shaman. Tag-A-Long always donates part of the proceeds from these trips back to the Navajo people in the form of a scholarship or grant for reservation projects.
"I'd say we are pretty heavy into interpretative trips," said Jones. "This past year we introduced a trip that made connections to ancient cultures and the resources that were available to them that are still around now. We serve pine nuts and squash and teas. We are trying to show how our environment has supported Native Americans from paleo-times to now.
Bob Jones points to his staff for keeping things running smoothly. Both his sales director, Sarah Sidwell, and his office manager, Jessica Irish, have been working at Tag-A-Long for 10 years.
Sidwell said the best part of the job is going on trips.
"There's nothing like it and I love experiencing what our clients are experiencing," she said.
Irish said she loves meeting people from all over the world.
"Being born and raised in Moab, it's a real treat for me to interact with people from all over the globe," she said.
Tag-A-Long played a strong role in getting Moab known as an international destination.
"They knew about the area because of John Wayne movies, but it wasn't until Tag started attending POWOW and other international trade shows that the international market for Moab tourism was tapped into," Jones said.
Whether it's a culture-rich experience on the Navajo Reservation or a splashy day trip on the Colorado River, Tag-A-Long works hard to have guests leave the Moab area happy.
"We came right in the middle of summer. It was 106 degrees and the water was blood red from heavy rains. It looked like mud," said Jackie Mickelson, a satisfied client from Kansas City. "My 11-year old son and I took a one-day raft trip and it couldn't have been better if it had been five days. The Tag-A-Long guide was awesome. He took really good care of us and watched over my son as he swam in the river."
The internet is loaded with great reviews, but locals have the opportunity to find out for themselves what's so special about Tag-A-Long.
"Anyone who works in guest services can go on one of our trips free," Sidwell said. "And they can bring a friend along and we will give them a 50 percent discount."
Sidwell said they also offer super-discounted trips a couple time a year so local can take an affordable five-day trip on the Green River through Desolation Canyon.
Jones said that what sets Tag-A-Long apart from other tour companies is that it is a home-town outfitter.
"Our roots are here. We specialize in our hometown resources and parks," Jones said. "We know this country like our own back yard because it is our back yard and we simply share the love we have for it."

Shri Amarnath Yatra
The most sacred and most ancient book of India, the Rig Veda evokes his presence in its hymns, Vedic Myths, rituals and even testify to his existance from the dawn of time. Legend has it that Shiva recounted to Parvati the secret of creation in a cave in Amarnath. Unknown to them, a pair of doves eavesdropped on this conversation and having learnt the secret, are reborn again and again, and have made the cave their eternal abode.
The annual yatra to Holy Amarnath Cave, situated at 14000 ft. above sea level, is organised by the Jammu & Kashmir State Government during the month of July and August. The intending pilgrims are allowed to perform darshan from Ashard Purnimashi to Shravan Purnimashi which course spreads over a month or so.
Amarnath cave is located in a narrow gorge on the farther end of Lidder valley at 3,888 m above sea level. The cave is 45 km from Pahalgam and 141 km from Srinagar. The trek begins in July-August. Despite being an extremely difficult trek, millions of devotees come to pay homage to Shiva in one of his Himalayan abodes.
The yatra, in its present religious form, commences with the ceremony of "Chari Mubarak," at the Dashnami temple, Akhara, Srinagar. After the prayers, the yatri acquires a sort of walking stick. It has both physical and religious significance: physically, it helps the yatri in steadying himself on a snow covered slippery path; spiritually it reminds him of his resolve at the temple at times when his faith begins to waver in the face of a long and arduous journey. Nowadays people travel to Pahalgam first and then undertake the onward journey of 45 km on foot, in batches. Overnight halts are in encampments that are set up at fixed distances and give the appearance of a military site. The return trek has to be covered in five days with night halts at Chandanwari, Wawjan and Panchtarni. The distance of 12.8 km from Pahalgam to Chandanwari is completed in five to six hours with the first night halt at Chandanwari. The trail is along thick and green woodlands of breathtaking beauty. The playful stream of Lidder meanders and dances alongside, showing its sparkling white foam with the pride and purity of a maiden descending directly from the lap of the perennial Himalayas. One main attraction of this trail is the bridge on the river Lidder, which is covered with snow even when the surroundings are bereft of snow.
From Chandanwari, there begins a steep ascent to Pishu Ghati (3,171 meters), reminding the yatris that the path to salvation involves superhuman struggle and stamina. A feeling of having reached an ethereal destination overwhelms yatris when they reach Seshnag (3,570 meters) so striking is the beauty, the ambience and the very colour of this great lake. Seshnag symbolizes the cosmic ocean in which Lord Vishnu, the preserver of this universe, moves, reclining on a seven-headed mythical snake. The second night halt is at Wawjan overlooking the deep waters of Sheshnag Lake and the glaciers beyond it.
The third and the last camp en route to the cave is at Panchtarni. This 13 km trek gains height at 4,600 m and then descends to the green meadows of Panchtarni. The cave is 6 km from here. There are long queues waiting to enter the cave for a darshan before returning to Panchtarni. The return journey takes two more days.
There are few precautions which have to be taken on this yatra. Children below 12 years and infirms are not allowed. It is imperative that one is adequately equipped against the cold in the high altitude. It is important to be aware of high altitude sickness and take basic precautions to prevent it. There are ponies available to carry provisions and personal belongings.
Managing this yatra is a mammoth task and requires planning and coordination. The committee managing the shrine keeps maintains the route, ensuring that it is free of boulders and snow, in co-operation with military and civil authorities. More recently, there have been incidents of terrorists having tried to disrupt the yatra, and there is heavy armed protection provided to the yatris. A yatra-officer is appointed to conduct the pilgrimage.
The Himalayan pilgrimages are the oldest organised travel system, evolved over time by Hindu sages and embodying the spirit of wander, adventure and spirituality
Shiva, in the form of a lingam, Shiva, in the form of a lingam, is formed naturally of an ice - stalagmite
One of the holy trinity, Shiva is a living god. The most ancient and sacred book of India, the Rig Veda evokes his presence in its hymns. Vedic myths, ritual and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time.
Shiva is known to have made his home in the Himalayas. He built no house nor shelter, not for himself or his bride. He was an ascetic, and yet married; he could be both for "he was the wild god sporting in the forest or taking his ease on a cloud."
Legend has it that Shiva recounted to Parvati the secret of creation in the Amarnathji cave. Unknown to them, a pair of mating pigeons eavesdropped on this conversation and having learned the secret, are reborn again and again, and have made the cave their eternal abode. Many pilgrims report seeing the pigeons-pair when they trek the arduous route to pay obeisance before the ice-lingam (the phallic symbol of Shiva).
Yatra arrangements at Pahalgam
The trek to Amarnathji, in the month of Shravan (July - August) has the devout flock to this incredible shrine, where the image of Shiva, in the form of a lingam, is formed naturally of an ice - stalagmite, and which waxes and wanes with the moon. By its side are, fascinatingly, two more ice - lingams, that of Parvati and of their son, Ganesha.
According to an ancient tale, there was once a Muslim shepherd named Buta Malik who was given a sack of coal by a sadhu. Upon reaching home he discovered that the sack, in fact, contained gold. Overjoyed and overcome, Buta Malik rushed back to look for the sadhu and thank him, but on the spot of their meeting discovered a cave, and eventually this became a place of pilgrimage for all believers. To date, a percentage of the donations made by pilgrims are given to the descendants of Malik, and the remaining to the trust which manages the shrine.
Yet another legend has it that when Kashap Reshi drained the Kashmir valley of water (it was believed to have been a vast lake), the cave and the lingam were discovered by Bregish Reshi who was travelling the Himalayas. When people heard of the lingam, Amarnathji for them became Shiva's abode and a centre of pilgrimage.
The Yatra Procession
Whatever the legends and the history of Amarnathji's discovery, it is today a very important centre of pilgrimage and though the route is as difficult to negotiate as it is exciting, every year, thousands of devotees come to pay homage before Shiva in one of his famous Himalayan abodes.
Situated in a narrow gorge at the farther end of Lidder valley, Amarnathji stands at 3,888 m and is 45 km from Pahalgam and 141 km from Srinagar. Though the original pilgrimage subscribes that the yatra be undertaken from Srinagar, the more common practice is to begin the journey from Pahalgam, and cover the distance to Amarnathji and back in four or five days. Pahalgam is 96 km from Srinagar.
Since the base point for the pilgrim's trek is picturesque Pahalgam, a large tented township springs up to accommodate the pilgrims. The conduct of the yatra is a gigantic task in which the State Government takes the assistance of the security departments for providing security and helping to keep the route open. All intermediate halting places have the same kind of facilities as are provided at Pahalgam, and a Yatra Officer is appointed to conduct the pilgrimage.


After a whole summer without Italian food, I was excited to read about Pagani – not that we need another Italian spot in this city – but hey, who am I to refuse fresh pasta and good marinara.
The girls and I pampered ourselves at the spa and stopped by Pagani for an early dinner. I wish I could say our tummies were pampered as well, but for the most part, it was a bland, forgettable meal.
Sorry to report another case of taste buds amnesia.
I was excited to check out celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's new UWS casual spot American Table Cafe and Bar the day after their opening night. Situated right inside the grand Alice Tully Hall. It's spacious and well lit. Perfect location for before or after a show. The soups started our meals off on a good note, unfortunately, it was downhill after that. High prices without the dishes to back it up.
This Greenwich Village sweet spot is known for their unique cupcakes with wine/beer pairings, but owner Marlo Scott invited me to try their latest breakfast creations. The Red Velvet Signature Belgian Waffles caught my attention immediately, so I braved the autumn snow last Saturday and stopped by for a complimentary tasting.
I've never seen a cupcake place with a bar, so that was quite cool. Friendly place with one of those small business stories I love. Marlo got laid off, so she made cupcakes out of the lemons life threw her.
I was invited to check out the new Bahr Che last Tuesday night with a friend. The addy says 26 Astor Place, but it's actually not ! Even between the google map on my iPhone and our good sense of direction, we were lost. Turns out, it's right next to Chase bank. A romantically lit, but hard to find front door.
I ended last year on a French note and loved every minute of it. From my pre-birthday celebration at the French Wine Bar Jadis to one of my best birthdays ever, thanksgiving in Paris (those posts will come soon) and this last supper of 2010 at L'absinthe Brasserie.
One of the surprises of completing this unplanned French themed 2010 was randomly winning this $100 gift certificate. While doing some food research for the trip, I stumbled upon Celebrate the French Way and randomly entered the drawing. And voila, there was my winning! 12/31/10 was the last day to use it and so we did.
Grabbed my usual suspects, got dressed up and off we went to end the year right.


LIVERPOOL are lining up a late raid for Real Madrid star Lucas Vazquez to replace Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho.
Coutinho has been chased by Ernesto Valverde for several weeks.
However, Liverpool bigwigs are determined not to sell their star man and have snubbed repeated bids.
But Barca keep pushing and the Catalans are confident a deal could still be struck.
Spanish news outlet Diario Gol reckon the Reds are eyeing a replacement and Vazquez could fit the bill.
The Spain international is only a fringe player at the Bernabeu and Zinedine Zidane might be tempted to cash in.
The 26-year-old is a product of the Real academy having progressed through their youth ranks and into the first-team.
Reports yesterday suggested Coutinho had held crunch talks with Jurgen Klopp in a bid to force through a deal.
The Brazilian reportedly warned Klopp that things won't go back to normal at Anfield if the club refuse to sell him.
The former Inter Milan ace is desperate for a move and has told Klopp to stop spurring Barca's advances.
Spanish daily Sport claimed the Liverpool dressing room realise Coutinho isn't bluffing - even if Klopp doesn't.
BBC pundit Garth Crooks has urged Liverpool to sell Coutinho and develop another player.
He said: "Liverpool are a wonderful club with a magnificent stage and they are very capable of finding another Coutinho.
Coutinho has made 138 appearances for Liverpool and scored 34 goals.

Hot Sluts Of The Day!
Jomanda!
Jomanda was a girl house group from New Jersey that was made up of Joanne Thomas, Cheri Williams and Renee Washington. They joined glamorous forces sometime in the 1980s and their biggest hit came in 1991. Got A Love For You hit #1 on the Billboard dance charts and broke into the Billboard Hot 100. At family parties in the early 90s, my older cousins would pop the single cassette of Got A Love For You into the boombox, press play, stand on a chair and deliver graceful moves. They LIVED that song and I was hypnotized by them bringing the moves while listening to it.
Jomanda had a couple of other dance hits before breaking up in the late 90s. Joanne Thomas floated up to heaven in 2003 after battling colon cancer. Joanne Thomas is now in heaven bringing black and white glamour to the angels.
White sunglasses… powersuits… gloves… pearls… and man nipples… What more could you possibly want from an early 90s video?
And in the early 90s it was all about being true. I will forever be true to Jomanda!

The 'Roll Over' on the Warriors LOTTO has been increasing week by week as no winner was found when the bonus numbers were drawn but this week it reached its maximum level of £7,500 and numbers were drawn until it produced a winner.
Forty times was it drawn before we found numbers that matched a paying member and the lucky winner was Peter Slinger from Hindley who pays his agent Gerry Withington when he calls to the house each week. Peter was extremely lucky as he was not in when Gerry called first time but tenacious Gerry didn't want him to miss out on what he knew was a big week for the draw, so called back the following day and collected his lucky £1 subscription.
Peter, who was originally a fan of Rochdale Hornets when he lived in the Rochdale area, joined LOTTO seven years ago when he moved to Hindley and has never had a winner in all that time but now, well he could not believe that you could actually win so much on a local lottery. That said he was very happy to keep his subscription going as he was very happy that it was supporting Youth Development at Wigan and he was keen to support that aim. Well Peter, your support has now paid off, you have helped many young players on the road to a potential career in Rugby League and now you have a great prize to show for your efforts.
Peter and partner Angela Fitzgerald came down to the stadium on Tuesday along with agent Gerry to collect their cheque and when asked what they were going to spend the windfall on they said that a much needed holiday was first on the cards, possibly to Mexico, so we hope you enjoy that and whatever you spend the rest on.
Gerry also picked up his Lotto Agents bonus cheque of £750 for selling the winning prize so he too was very happy.


It launched earlier this month as The Loch on the United Kingdom's ITV network.
The six-episode entanglement begins unwinding weekly on Monday, June 19th, with the entire miniseries made available to TV critics for review. Some giant leaps are taken en route to the climactic unveiling of the killer. But you're unlikely to say, "Aha, I knew it!" Because Loch Ness is anything but a telegraphed punch after the hook is set in Episode 1's opening credits. Hmm, who is that dead man anchored in the same down-below where a tourist-enticing monster supposedly also lurks? You'll know in due time, but first there are other corpses to dissect.
"You have a cold-blooded predator in your town," deduces DCI Lauren Quigley (Siobhan Finneran), who's all business after blowing in from Glasgow to take command from Lochnafoy's finest. Her principal assistant is local detective Annie Redford (Laura Fraser), whose husband, Alan (Gray O'Brien), makes his living as a Nessie-spouting tour boat owner. Their 18-year-old daughter, Evie (Shona McHugh), constantly grates on her mom -- and vice-versa. But might this rebellious teen know more than she lets on? Well, of course she does.
Loch Ness sorts through this chamber of horrors (and chamber of commerce nightmare) in ways that can be both gripping and more than a little far-fetched at times. Suspects abound and confound. The overall detective work remains competent enough, although in one case the companion editing is rather amazingly sloppy. It'll be hard to miss in Episode 3, when Annie brings in the suspicious Dr. Simon Marr (John Heffernan) for questioning.
Within just a few seconds, Annie and Lauren are shown reviewing the videotape. Marr's retort is magically edited to, "Your manner is hostile and aggressive." A small point, perhaps, but still attention-getting because the two scenes are played so very closely together.
Also in the law enforcement mix is visiting forensic psychologist Blake Albrighton (Don Gilet), a headstrong naysayer who apparently once had a thing with Lauren, even though it's not really fleshed out. The prototypically gruff, elderly chief inspector is Frank Smilie (John Sessions), who wants Blake off the case after a clash over proper procedure.
There are elements of ITV's acclaimed Broadchurch, which is returning for a final go-around later this month (June 28th) on BBC America. But that series' ad hoc detective duo of haunted Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and plucky Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) far surpasses the crime teams of Loch Ness. The strongest performance is by Finneran, whose terse jabs and counter-punches are well-delivered throughout.
Be assured that answers will be forthcoming before Loch Ness comes to a halt. Still, there are several too many side trips and attendant altercations before the big reveals. I did watch it all, though, eyes rolling at times. And the vistas remain distinctive and eye-catching even when the story loses focus.

NBC's ambitious mystery series Manifest returned for its second season this week, bringing plenty of answers — and questions — to keep the sci-fi series rolling into Year 2. So what are the biggest questions being asked this time around?
Showrunner Jeff Rake told TV Guide that in mapping out Season 2, they realized there were two signpost mysteries they wanted to explore as they look ahead to a potential Season 3: Exploring and explaining the "death date" surrounding the survivors, and digging deeper into the disappearance itself and whether or not that phenomenon has happened before (and if it will happen again).

TCA 2020: Manifest's bigger mystery and why it must go all six seasons
"Season 2 is largely centered around two big ideas. One is the question of the death date. Is it a real thing and can it be undone? Is there a workaround for the death date? That is Ben's defining journey of Season 2 as he continues to take on the role of caretaker for all the passengers," Rake fold TV Guide. "But it's also, on a parallel front, Michaela's journey throughout the season. As she grows closer with Zeke and as his clock ticks away — Zeke has one year to live because that's how long he'd been gone — Michaela is literally fighting for Zeke's life. So this idea of undoing the death date is the fundamental mythological question of Season 2 and we will answer that by the time we get to the end of the season.
Rake also noted those questions will obviously be answered through the journeys of the show's key cast, with Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Ben (Josh Dallas) trying to unravel these mysteries surrounding their miraculous returns to the world. He also teased Zeke's (Matt Long) story would also be a key factor, as the survivors find others who have experienced the mysterious "Callings." So, it sounds like we might learn about some other disappearances and returns as Season 2 rolls along.
"The next big mythological idea that will be unveiled in Season 2 is to what extent is the phenomenon 828 unique in the universe. When the series premiered and the story started, it appeared that this was the first time in human history that this had ever happened before and the world had never seen anything like this, people disappearing and coming back not having aged. Then, when we met Zeke and Griffin, we discovered [the passengers] were not alone. But the question is, are they the first? Have they launched some new mythological normal in the universe? Or are they a part of something larger that has existed for a long time? That question is gonna be asked and answered in Season 2. By the time we get to the end of the season, the Zekes and Griffins of the world — others who experienced the Callings — there will be others coming."
Rake went on to tease the back half of Season 2 will introduce new characters that will propel a "mythological turn" to "distill our mythology" to set the stage for a potential third season — a juncture Rake teased will set up the "back half" of the series. So, it certainly sounds like the creative team has a clear roadmap for where this story is heading.
Season 2 of Manifest airs Monday nights on NBC.

The Data-Driven Optimist
Economist Max Roser is compiling an archive of global improvement.
by Jeffrey Rothfeder
In the year that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, when Rome controlled about 25 percent of the world's population, global GDP per capita was the equivalent of US$463 in 1990. Roughly one thousand years later, around the time of the Norman conquest of England, global GDP per capita actually had decreased by a little more than $10. And about 500 years hence, when Columbus arrived in America, the world's GDP had ticked up a mere 25 percent. In fact, it wasn't until 1800 that GDP per capita finally topped $600. These data points suggest that for nearly 2,000 years — and presumably, researchers say, untold millennia before that — the global economy was staggeringly inert.
Then, on the wings of the Industrial Revolution, it suddenly expanded. New technologies, productivity improvements, and cross-border communications, trade, and travel took global GDP per capita to $6,000 in the year 2000; it stands above $7,000 today. This expansion occurred despite (or perhaps in part due to) a concomitant global population boom that has produced a six-fold increase in the number of people on Earth, to 6 billion.
Closely related to these rapid GDP gains is another revealing set of statistics. In 1820, 95 percent of the world lived in poverty; by 1929, that rate had fallen to about 75 percent. In 1980, 50 percent of people survived on less than $1.25 per day; today that percentage has declined by more than two-thirds.
This nuanced data narrative is, in fact, the germ of a larger story that can tell us a lot about overcoming income inequality. It is the handiwork of Max Roser, a research fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. On two websites — Our World in Data and Chartbook for Economic Equality — Roser has for the past few years posted dozens of charts that provide a long-term empirical timeline for the immense changes related to economic growth.
The inspiration for this project came from a vulnerability Roser observed in some of his fellow economists: Addicted to theory and sometimes to political biases, he says, they avoid hard data or empirical evidence that may inconveniently undermine their points of view. "By minimizing the empirical approach, we deprive ourselves of essential lessons about global and regional change and their catalysts over long periods of time," Roser told me. "Ideally, data should determine the structure of economic principles rather than be used as an afterthought to support a theoretical point of view."
Using dozens of sources — many of them extremely obscure — Roser generates a wide trove of information, some of it seemingly unconnected, that combines to elucidate a larger set of conclusions. For example, his data provides indispensible fodder for analyses of the affordability of necessities like light. He examined the price of lighting per million lumen hours in the U.K. from 1300 through 2006, adjusted for inflation. Seven hundred years ago, when tallow candles provided light, a million lumen hours cost £40,000. Today, the price is only £3 around the world. We've forgotten how much of a luxury it used to be to see and read at night. This analysis underscores the profound level of poverty in North Korea, which appeared pitch-black in a well-lighted region in a night photo taken by International Space Station astronauts in 2014.
We've forgotten how much of a luxury it used to be to see and read at night.
Some of Roser's most ambitious and controversial work involves income and wealth disparity. Roser has published individual and comparison charts for 25 nations, based on tax returns dating back in some cases to 1900, depicting the percentage of earnings by income strata as well as the percentage above the median for the top 10 percent of earners. The data provides a nuanced picture of income inequality — and an opportunity to dispassionately consider possible remedies.
One example: In English-speaking countries, the share of total income held by the top 1 percent of earners has ballooned since 1990, but most other European nations and Japan have not mirrored that trend. Moreover, during this period many of the English-speaking countries saw huge increases in GDP, stock market valuations, and real estate prices — gains that disproportionally benefit the wealthiest people. In part, that explains the accelerated income expansion for the top 1 percent even as wages fell broadly in English-speaking countries, an essential, if subtle, distinction because income and wages are often mistakenly conflated.
Another chart shows the U.S. adoption of new products and technologies. In the 15 years between 1990 and 2005, cellphone penetration rose from about 2 percent of households to 90 percent; a few years prior, microwave ownership rose at the same rapid pace. But earlier in the 20th century, it took about twice as long for the refrigerator and washing machine to make similar gains. The affordability of mass products often has been noted as a factor mitigating wealth disparity. But the speed of change is often overlooked; accelerating innovation plays a role in improving quality of life.
"One lesson from the empirical research that shows varied levels of inequality in different countries is that we can do something about it," Roser says. He believes that the crux of the problem in the U.S. can be found in two data points: the higher proportion of poor literacy and numeracy skills among adults in the U.S. than in other countries, and the socioeconomic background that is a determinant of these skills.
Consequently, Roser says that one way to reduce inequality is to target educational efforts regarding the skills and productivity tools that employers most desire, which could have the added benefit of increasing growth at the same time. And, he adds, the price of education must be minimized. "The strong link between skills and family background suggests that increasing costs for education are also enhancing the probability that existing inequality will turn into future inequality," Roser says. "Simply reducing education costs would make it possible for those from poorer backgrounds to earn higher incomes later in life."
Roser is an optimist. He says his charts, which cover everything from African development to violent death rates, unambiguously depict a world that is evolving for the better. Food availability and consumption are up dramatically in every region; around the world, child mortality has fallen precipitously. His favorite recent illustration is a table that shows a striking divergence in literacy rates in the Middle East between 15- to 24-year-olds and people over 65. In country after country, the younger generation's literacy level is about 90 percent or higher compared to the more senior group. When viewed with another Roser chart that shows a strong correlation between high levels of education and democracy, prospects for the Middle East in upcoming decades become more sanguine.
In fact, the only thing that Roser appears to be pessimistic about is whether policymakers will use this type of historical data to help develop sound economic principles and policy. We should be planning for a future in which things get better with measures that equalize and improve education and tax policy and provide support for raising children in all social strata, he says. Pessimism on the part of policymakers "was more understandable 80 years ago when there was not much data and no computers to correlate it," he says. "We have no excuse now to keep thinking that way."

Swimming and triathlon singled out as underperformers in London
3:09 pm on 13 August 2012
Swimming and triathlon have been singled out as New Zealand's under performers at the London Olympics, by funding agency High Performance Sport New Zealand.
New Zealand won 13 medals at the Games, to equal the previous best total achieved in Seoul in 1988.
The chief executive of HPSNZ, Alex Bauman, says while New Zealand has done well overall swimming and triathlon were disappointing.
He says swimming, which has received almost $7.5 million in high performance funding over the past four years had a target of reaching five finals but only made two.
While triathlon, which has recieved $7 million and went into the Games with Andrea Hewitt ranked world number, was on course to produce a medal but didn't.
Bauman says a review of the Games performances will now be carried out which will have implications for future high performance funding and also set targets for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero and beyond.


SOLDIERS at a passing out parade in Catterick Garrison created history by becoming the first to pass off in a newly-created division.
And to mark the occasion a senior general and an historic Scottish band joined the first Scottish, Welsh and Irish Division parade in Helles Barracks at the Infantry Training Centre which saw a total of 56 soldiers complete their combat infantrymen's course.
The parade completes six months' training and allows them to take their place with their regiment of choice and join a platoon which is ready to deploy on operations anywhere in the world.
The soldiers were members of the new Scottish, Welsh and Irish Division Training Company which was created in April this year.
Major General Nick Borton, General Officer Commanding the 3rd (UK) Division, congratulated the soldiers on an excellent parade and said they were a credit to all their staff and instructors.
Music was provided by the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots Borderers, The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Where will my team end up
Cosmic_Guru
Off to the match
New nets, lights and a small stand for away fans in the corner.
A harsh footballing lesson. Probably should have gone in 2 up at half time, sat back after our goal and then the inevitable injury time winning goal - #2 this season. Oldham very physical.
Angles Morts
On recent form I fancied us to get something from the Tractor Boys, but it wasn't looking likely after their second went in. Thats when we actually started playing and the comeback was on.
An all time low reached , both Arsenal and Sutton bottom of their respective league, but at least Us have a game in hand.....
Ipswich throw away the win in the 95th minute.
Multiple defenders needed before the transfer deadline.

Ace 2-0 away win for Wrexham against Eastleigh with Ben Tozer making his debut after signing yesterday for a bit too much money. Now for the big one against Notts County at home on Monday. They looked to have struggled and failed to beat 10 man Torquay today, but no doubt will be amazing against us.

£200,000 is lunacy. If that's right.
We drew at home. Fleetwood were poor but we were so wasteful. Our keeper ended up being man of the match. We've played 3 shit teams at home, totally dominated all of them and got just 5 points out of them. It's worrying. All the opposition so far have time wasted from the start. Referees do nothing about it.
1 hour ago, neoELITE said:
200 thousand is what Cheltenham told their local journalist. I suppose some of that could be dependent on conditions such as promotion or whatever, but for a 31 year old defender who has played almost all of his career in league 2 with only 12 months on his contract it certainly sounds like an awful lot.
Kind of disappointed with a draw against Torquay what with them being down to 10 men for the majority of the match.
Couldn't get BT Sport sorted for today but hope the games good (and the Magpies win against Its Always Raining In Wrexham )
57 minutes ago, wev said:
Yeah, it surprised me a bit. And they'll always have a chance with Gary Johnson in charge, but I thought Torquay had had become a little bit weaker over the summer.
The game tonight could go either way. Notts County are decent and have strengthened. We've started slowly in our first two matches, so we could see an early away goal. It sounds like we haven't particularly controlled the games either, but have been full of energy and great in attack. I'll be surprised if we don't score. We're generally shit on TV and it looks like our owners will be there which could be a bit of a distraction for the first one.
It might not be the super duper go reds confident Hollywood star winning mentality that I'm maybe supposed to take now, but I'll be happy with a draw.

Good job I wasn't there Saturday (against Oxford). Apparently we were woeful with the forced formation, especially first half. Really struggling with injuries at the moment, and we haven't replaced Brennan Johnson upfront.
Looks like Tayo Edun is off to Blackburn for 500k (not bad for a free). We need his replacement (which I'm sure they have in hand), plus a striker and a keeper.
Feel like we're like Oxford and Blackpool last season who had a rough start.
My next game is Cambridge away (11th) , then Ipswich home (18th) . Rotherham next weekend (4th) was happening, but with internationals, no chance a London based ST holder is making a rearranged Tues night game. Good job I hadn't bought train tickets!
Listened on BBC radio Nottingham in the end and a 1-1 was well earned by Notts County.
That makes 3 in 3 for Wootton
Some excellent football played tonight that fizzled out towards the end because both sides were knackered.
If the James Jones goal in the first half hadn't been incorrectly ruled out we'd have gone on to win it I reckon, so we were definitely unlucky. I was pleased how we pushed for and got the equaliser after half time though. New players being chucked in, so we'll improve, but I still thought we were pretty fantastic at times. Particularly in the first half. Mullin and Hyde up front are a force to be reckoned with. Notts County looked more resilient at the back compared to the end of last season, defending well throughout, and obviously showed their quality when they had the ball.
Great game.
It was a good game. Both teams really going for it. Cracking goal by Wootton for the opener, although as you say @Fatsam, Jones goal should never have been ruled out, and was a lovely hit.
I didn't get to see as much of the second half, but in the first half it was the final ball letting Wrexham down most of the time.
Both sides moved the ball well, and while I haven't seen much of the other teams in the league, I'd expect both of them to be up there challenging based on last night's game.
Should be yeah, although I think the standard of the top sides has moved up a notch this year with plenty of money splashed around. Chesterfield added excellent striker Tshimanga for 250,000 to an already decent side. Probably the most expensive squad from last season Stockport added a rumoured 350,000 Scott Quigley who scored all the goals for Barrows promotion. Then you have Dagenham and Redbridge who already had a small, but excellent squad and have continued their form from the end of last season. All are potential league winners.
I think it will probably take a while for Wrexham to really hit their stride as players get used to each other. We've got a month and a half of tough fixtures coming up too before an easier run of games up until Christmas.
Well, Bersant Celina is a decent loan signing for League 1 and he played for us before.
The new CEO certainly seems to be backing up Paul Cook's decisions, but time will tell.
With no fixture on Saturday, the manager has time to work on DEFENDING.
We had a resounding victory over Palace youth last night in the highly prestigious PJs Trophy.
We have also resigned (on loan again) Olaofe who was last season's top scorer and young player of the year. I can only assume that Millwall are well stocked in the striker / left sided attacker position, because I would have thought he could make some impact for them this season even if off the bench or in the cups perhaps. He will now be competing with Enzio Boldewijn (formerly of Notts County and Crawley) who seems pretty lively so far on that side of the pitch . David Ajiboye has the right side sewn up, the latest in a long line of right wingers but by far the most consistent, and given he is still only 22, could even perhaps go on to bigger things.

I forgot we even played yesterday. We lost 0-2 away at Newport and fielded a 15 year old centre forward. It's an atrocious competition and it just needs to disappear. Some attendances are under 200. There's a chance of going to Wembley to see your team in a final I suppose but..... who wants it? Fans don't seem to care, managers hate it and it's just pointless.
Well done to Sutton though.
We're only opening one stand for our Papa Johnson's Paint Pizza Trophy match!
Our match at Colchester has been postponed, so another week propping up the table is guaranteed.
Four in four for Wootton now
A game that further highlighted room for improvement by the sound of it, but coming back to get a draw after being 2-0 down away at Southend is decent. Particularly as we were missing Mullin up front due to a minor injury. Next Saturday at home against Woking feels like the first game where victory is expected and booing will no doubt ensue from some sections should that not happen. Although they have won 2 out of 3 so far. 4-0 away at Torquay last game. Start packing your bags Parky!
First win at a populated Plough Lane yesterday, and to do it against bogey team Oxford and their ex-franchise arse of a manager was all the more sweet.
It's looking like this is going to be a good season after the last few which were a struggle. It's looking so good that fans are worried how long our players are under contract.

It's looking like a really open, competitive season so far. I know there's only been four completed so far but it feels like anyone can get a result and it's hard to predict the outcome of games.
Sutton 2 Stevenage 1
Scrappy first half, then 5 crazy minutes when we went 0-1, 1-1, 2-1 pen and man off for them. Played some good stuff after that too. Injury time incredibly nerve-wracking but we didn't sit back and invite pressure. Particularly pleasing after Covid disruption, with some regulars missing.
Still undefeated! But those draws are getting annoying
Put a new goalkeeper in, lose 5-2 at home.
Still, at least Ipswich Ladies are unbeaten this season so far.

Fucking hell ...
We beat Wednesday 3-0 yesterday and it was easy for most of the 90 minutes. A decent crowd of almost 14,000 including about 1,700 away fans. Great weather, a great atmosphere and a perfect result for us.
Our new back 3 are excellent. They're defenders and they defend. Last season we had a torrid record of conceding 80+ goals.
Our midfield dominated a poor Wednesday side who looked overawed. I expected a tough game. It wasn't tough at all.
I met some Owl fans in the social club after and they were a bit deluded. Apparently, it was our cup final as the home fans stayed after the final whistle to applaud the team. Erm..... we do that when we win and put in a performance like that regardless of who we play. Sheffield United won 6-2. They were rather upset about that.
A thoroughly deserved win. I thought we really clicked yesterday. Proper tasty!


Niraamaya Retreats, the operator of boutique hospitality and wellness properties backed by private equity firm Jupiter Capital, has drawn expansion plans for the next five years.
The company aims to expand to 15 resorts from its existing six through an owned-and-franchised route. The company recently opened a property at Kumarakom in Kerala and will complete an under-construction villa property in Goa by 2021.
Niraamaya will perform groundbreaking ceremony on two hotels -- one of them in Goa -- over the next two to five years and will manage another seven through franchises. It will deploy about Rs 100 crore in development and is looking at raising Rs 150 crore.
