Punjabi House is a 1998 Indian Malayalam-language comedy drama film written and directed by Rafi Mecartin. It stars Dileep and Harisree Ashokan as comedy duo Unni and Ramanan with Mohini, Jomol, Lal, Cochin Haneefa, Thilakan, Janardhanan and N. F. Varghese in pivotal roles. The music was composed by Suresh Peters and S. P. Venkatesh, the former composing the songs, making his debut as a film composer and the latter composing the score. The film was released as an Onam release on 4 September 1998. The film was a blockbuster at release even though it clashed with Mammootty-Mohanlal starrer Harikrishnans. Many dialogues from the film turned into popular catchphrases. The character Ramanan played by Harishree Ashokan is considered one of the best comedy characters in Malayalam movies and has a cult status. The movie is considered one of the best slapstick comedy film in Malayalam cinema and it established Dileep as a leading star and catapulted him into stardom.

The film was remade in Telugu as Maa Balaji in 1999, in Kannada with the same title in 2002 and in Hindi as Chup Chup Ke in 2006. This film had a cult following among the audience.

Plot
Unni is an unsuccessful entrepreneur, who is in deep debt and in no situation to repay them. Due to torment from his many creditors and lack of solace from his family, he decides to commit suicide (faking it as an accident) so that his debts can be repaid with the insurance money. He jumps off the pier into the sea only to be rescued by fishermen from a distant coast, named Gangadharan and his employee Ramanan. Unni pretends to be deaf and mute in front of them, so as to not reveal the truth. Back at home, his family is denied insurance, stating unconfirmed death (owing to lack of body), putting them in a difficult situation on repaying the debt.

Gangadharan has a debt of his own, to a Punjabi family of moneylenders who are settled in Kerala. The situation demands Unni and Ramanan to work at their home until he can repay the sum. There he meets a Punjabi girl named Pooja, who is mute. She finds out that he is not deaf or mute and considers him to be a fraudster, but later sympathises with him after learning his situation. She pays off his debt through Ramanan, without revealing to his family about their living son. The couple eventually falls in love and decide to get married. Her family agrees to their marriage on the condition that he will never desert her, as she had a traumatic failed marriage proposition in the past.

From Ramanan, by a slip of the tongue, Unni's family learns of his survival. They find him and demand him to come back, as Sujatha who was in love with him, still waits for him living as his widow. He is shocked by the news but decides not to return because he does not want to put Pooja through more agony. During the marriage ceremony the next day, the family intervenes, but when Sujatha sees Pooja and the pain that she is going to inflict on her family, she finally decides to let go of him.

My preschoolers love to explore with magnets! Usually a surprise is involved when magnetic objects are attracted to our magnet wands, which is the best part. To add a new dimension, we mixed plastic eggs with our magnet wands, and came up with a fun way to figure out which kinds of objects are magnetic and which are not. The plastic egg magnetic science activity was a hit at home and at preschool!
The supplies are simple and can be changed out to fit your child's needs, or what you have laying around the house or classroom!
We collected groups of objects and added them to the plastic eggs. This is a great activity for little fingers. It takes some concentration because some of those eggs don't close easily! I made sure that the objects were both magnetic (here's a fun set!) and not magnetic so that there would only be some eggs that were attracted to the wand. After the eggs were filled, it was time to see see what would happen!
After all eggs were filled, it was time to see what happened! It was a super fun surprise when the first egg was attracted to the magnet wand! After the first egg, it was a race to see what other eggs were also magnetic.
Each egg was tested with the wand, and then quickly opened to see what was inside. After the first 2, predictions were made before opening the eggs back up.
It was quickly discovered that metal objects worked with the wand and everything else did not.
The Legos and marbles were eventually tossed to the side and the eggs were filled up again and again with the paper clips, safety pins, screws, and magnetic coins! The activity lasted longer than expected and is set up as an independent table area in our classroom.
For even more egg fun, try these activities too!
What a great idea! I struggle to think of science based activities and this one is great!
Thanks! If you pre-fill the eggs, this would be a fun toddler activity too!
I'm stopping over from the Thoughtful Spot blog hop… what a great idea! I'm pinning this one.
What some great ideas! I bet kids think this just so neat! Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
This is so cool! My class will absolutely love this!!
Can't beat fun that's also educational.
Oh my goodness. I am putting MAGNETS on my shopping list. My preschoolers will LOVE this. Pinned it. Thank you SO much for sharing it at my Wonderful Wednesday party on Ducks 'n a Row,. This post is a gem.
Definitely pinning this! Such a unique way to use those Easter eggs for fun learning. I love this! Thanks for sharing it at Wonderful Wednesday.
Hi! Brings back memories of when my kids were little. Thank you for coming to the Inspire Me Monday Linky Party on Monday. I'm Janice, one of your hostesses.
What a great idea! Love the pic of your wide eyed daughter! I will be featuring this post at the Thoughtful Spot tomorrow. And love to see your Compassion ad on the side bar. I am a Compassion sponsor too! Would love if you stopped by to check out my Compassion Sundays series underneath the Special Editions tab on my site!
Using magnets is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Motivational Monday! Hope you will link up again tonight.
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing at Workbox Wednesday!!
Thanks for this WONDERFUL idea! As a first time Nana with a very smart 18 month old this will make for a marvelous after Easter dinner game! She loves her magic wand. All I need to do is attach a few magnets to the end! Did I say Thanks?
What a great idea! I can do so much with this! Thanks!


Routing with Denis celebrated its 11th birthday on April 18, 2019. I have had a lot of fun the last eleven years (six in the case of Michael). I have met some super guys and gals and made some very good friends. They have forced Michael and I to learn a lot more about routing. We have also had a lot of challenges developing router jigs and accessories which are the mainstay of our router shop.
We look forward to continuing to share our knowledge with you in the 12th year of operation.
The router is the tool that has had the greatest impact on both DIY and professional woodworking. With a router you can groove, rebate, and trim as well as cut decorative mouldings, tenons, mortices, a wide range of other joints and perform many more wood machining operations. To achieve this flexibility the router often needs to be augmented with jigs (some as simple as a scrap piece of wood and two C-clamps), guides and patterns. This provides me with the scope to offer a variety of courses and services.
Router school. A range (introductory, intermediate and advanced) of half-day router courses. Exploit the potential of your router and bring a new degree of proficiency and skill to a wide range of woodworking projects. I offer both one-on-one courses (or courses for small cohesive groups) on weekday mornings (plus limited Saturday slots) and multi-student courses on a Saturday morning.
Other courses. In addition to router courses I teach these important courses: Fundamentals of woodworking joints. What joint should I use?
Understanding and using wood. Learn more about the material you use.
Using a bandsaw. Make the most of this versatile saw.
Using a planer/thicknesser. Good work starts with good stock preparation.
Router shop. Router table top/fence packages, router bits, router accessories, clamps and a range of router jigs such as morticing jigs.
Services. Consulting, design, help with a project, ad-hoc machining, purpose-built jigs and patterns and ad-hoc training on machines such as a planer/thicknesser and table saw. Solving problems with wood movement (warping and cracking) is a major focus.
Suggestions. I often get asked "Don't you know where I can get ....."? To try and help with these and similar questions I have added a suggestions section to my website. I hope it will help you find what you are looking for.
Articles. An index to help you find one of my The Home Handyman articles in your library.

A quick, rocky descent down to Brush Creek road, but no real challenging moves–just keep rolling! Don't brake for the good stuff!
Start by riding Upper Upper Loop east from the junction of Upper Upper and the Skyland Access Trail. After a couple of miles of increasingly challenging terrain, Whetstone Vista trail branches off on your right. The downhill is short, rocky and loose at times. The technical challenge really never gets that hard as the rocks are smaller and easier to roll over.
The Old Town Inn makes a great home base for your Crested Butte adventures, wild or civilized. Conveniently located in historic Crested Butte (park your car and leave it there!), the inn offers hotel amenities with the personal feel of a bed-and-breakfast.


Wage and Hour | Practice Areas | Case Results | Shimoda Law Corp.
Our office has brought several class actions on behalf of California employees regarding unpaid overtime, unpaid minimum wages, failure to provide meal and rest periods, failure to pay reimbursement expenses, failure to pay prevailing wages, and many other wage and hour claims. We work with you to help correct the widespread wrongs your employer may be committing not only against you, but your fellow co-workers as well. We have a long track record of success in class actions and have settled claims for millions of dollars.
California employees are generally entitled to overtime pay for any work performed over eight hours in a day or forty hours in a week. This applies regardless of the type of compensation that is paid, e.g. hourly, piece rate, commission plans where the earnings from commissions represent less than fifty percent of your total earnings. Just because an employee is paid on a salary basis does not mean that they are not entitled to overtime pay. There are only a few very specific and narrow exceptions to this rule depending on the type of work that is actually done by the employee. Oftentimes, employers misclassify an employee as salaried when, in fact they should be paid hourly and receive overtime pay. Whether an employer simply isn't paying you overtime or has misclassified you as a salaried employee, we will be able to provide you the representation you need to get back what is owed to you.
Although one of the most basic requirements for any employer, there are still many instances where failure to pay minimum wages occur. For example, if an employee is paid on a piece rate system, the employer must still pay the employee at least the minimum wage for all worked performed. Another example occurs when the employer has made unlawful deductions from an employee's pay that results in the employee making less than the minimum wage, e.g. deductions for lodging provided by your employer where there is no express agreement to do so or where the employer deducts from your paycheck due to accidental damage or loss of company property. Because of the public policy involved behind paying employees at least the minimum wage, an employee may recover double damages for any violation. We at the Shimoda Law Corp. have experience in dealing with nearly every kind of minimum wage dispute and can help you through the process.
Every employee, whether they are paid hourly, salary, commission, piece rate, or otherwise, is entitled to reimbursement for business expenses incurred while carrying out their employer's business. Examples of this can include mileage for having to drive your car and pay for gas in performing your work, having to buy work materials or equipment, having to repair equipment, having to stay in a hotel room at the direction of your employer, and various other tasks. The Shimoda Law Corp. will assist you in identifying what is a reimbursable expense and what can be done to recoup these expenses.
With rare exceptions, an employer must provide its employees a duty-free, thirty-minute meal period if the employee works for more than five hours and a second duty-free, thirty-minute meal period if the employee works longer than ten hours. Similarly, an employer provide its employees with one ten-minute rest period for shifts of three and a half to four hours, two ten-minute rest periods for shifts of six to ten hours, and three ten-minute rest periods for shifts of ten to fourteen hours. Employers cannot bully employees or create incentives for them to miss their meal and rest periods. Where an employer has not provided its employee with a full meal or rest period, the employee is entitled to receive an additional hour of pay. If you feel that the conditions at your work prevent you from taking meal or rest periods, contact our office to help you remedy the situation.
In most circumstances, once an employee earns vacation time according to a company's plan or policy, that time is vested and belongs to the employee. At separation of employment, an employer must pay the departing employee the pro rata cash value of any unused vacation time. Many "use-it-or-lose-it� provisions, allowing neither a carry-over of unused vacation nor payment in lieu thereof, are unacceptable under California law. We, at the Shimoda Law Corp., assist employees in making sure that they are not subjected to unlawful "use-it-or-lose-it� policies and are paid all accrued vacation within the appropriate time frame at resignation or termination.
Off-the-clock claims occur when the employee performs work outside of what is listed on their time card. This can happen because an employee was specifically directed to do so or because the employee was given deadlines at work and must complete his job outside of normal work hours. Our firm will assist you in identifying why and how an employer, at the very least, should have been aware that you were performing the work and, therefore, should have compensated you for this additional time.
Because California law is so protective of employee's wages, there are several statutory provisions that allow an employee to receive penalties, paid by the employer, in addition to any wages due. These penalties can be based on failure to provide accurate wage statements or failure to pay all wages due at termination or within seventy-two hours of resignation. We at the Shimoda Law Corp. have experience in obtaining penalty payments for employees as well as bringing Private Attorney General Act Claims to obtain further penalties on behalf of the employee and any similarly aggrieved co-workers.
Employers sometimes confront employees with signing a severance agreement. There are many questions that go into whether an employee should sign the severance. Some severance agreements will include provisions for no-rehire, confidentiality, disparagement, and revocation. We, at the Shimoda Law Corp., can handle severances and determine whether they are fair.
Our firm handles the drafting of employment agreements for high-level executives and any disputes that may arise under executive contracts including issues relating to stock grants or options, other compensation, termination, or severance negotiations. We have also handled cases in which the employer promised a job or other benefits to the employee only to renege thereafter. We also handle the more garden variety breach of contract claims including claims arising in business litigation.
The California Labor Commissioner is a State agency charged with enforcing the state's wage and hour protections for employees. Our office has substantial experience in participating in settlement conferences and hearings before the Labor Commissioner for all aspects of wage and hour claims. We have also handled several successful appeals of Labor Commissioner decisions. If you need representation at a Labor Commissioner proceeding or a consultation to determine your best course of action at a settlement conference or hearing, do not hesitate to contact our office for assistance.
Employers are sometimes tempted to classify employees as "independent contractors� so they can avoid paying overtime and minimum wages or providing meal and rest breaks. Whether an employer classifies a person as an employee or independent contractor comes with substantial repercussions. Requirements to pay overtime and protection from discrimination and harassment may not exist if a person is an independent contractor. Thus, the determination is extremely important. There are a host of factors that go into determining whether a person is correctly classified as an independent contractor or an employee and our office will help you with this analysis to ensure the proper protections are being provided.
Only in limited situations may an employer make deductions from an employee's paycheck – taxes, social security, health benefits, union dues. An employer may not reduce an employee's wages or commissions to offset employee-caused losses – such as cash shortages, breakage or loss of equipment. Even if an employee owes an employer money, the employer may not unilaterally withhold part of the employee's wages in order to repay the debt. If this has happened to you, please contact the Shimoda Law Corp.


We operate in an industry that everyone defines as dynamic, able to solve previously unsolvable problems, such as effectively illuminating areas with high ceilings, enhance safety, and even bring connectivity in places that until recently were inaccessible. You will read here a case study involving several of these challenges, which were addressed by an AES team responsible for lighting a 7,000 square metre addition to a BC recreational centre, and meet the new president of LEDVANCE Canada Ltd. In addition to recent technological discoveries, we speak also of costs attached to the lighting control systems — how to calculate them, anticipate them and control them. Good reading!

Tom Clancy's The Division - Preview
Tom Clancy's The Division, for PS4, Xbox One and PC, is shaping up to be just want we want from the next generation of gaming.
Many people freak out after losing cell phone reception, which goes to show not only how dependent we are on technology, but also how fragile society is. All it would take is one or two services falling apart to create a dangerous and potentially deadly domino affect causing life as we know it tumbling into anarchy.
Ubisoft uses this premise as the basic foundation for Tom Clancy's The Division, an impressive-looking next-generation title for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Powered by the new Snowdrop game engine, this stunning title will not only attract players with attention-grabbing visuals, but also the concept of an open-world online role-playing experience, something we don't often see on consoles. The in-game world looks bleak, though from the comforts of home, it's anything but.
The Last Hope For Humanity
Set against the backdrop of New York City, the game casts you as a member of The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents charged with preserving what's left of society three weeks after a manmade virus ravaged the population; the pandemic began on Black Friday, the United States' most important shopping day. Your primary objective is to, alongside fellow Division agents, restore a semblance of order to Manhattan while preventing what's left from sliding into chaos.
The game pits you against both human and computer-controlled players, which makes working as a team of primary importance. You explore this decimated Big Apple with friends scavenging what you can find - be it supplies or weapons - and taking on missions in a world filled with unexpected events. One second you'll engage hostiles in a fire fight outside of a police station, and the next, you'll help A.I. officers escape while raiding the armoury, only to encounter rivals in a heated player versus-player encounter. To that end, there are no dedicated single and multiplayer modes. It's one seamless experience.
Playing With Wonderful Toys
This being a Tom Clancy game, Ubisoft put technology front and centre. Interestingly enough, you don't pause the game to access your character's inventory. Instead, you scroll through it in real-time via a high-tech wristwatch. From here, you're able to bring up a World Map that appears within the environment, view different Skills, Inventory and access Social features.
While on the subject of Skills, there appear to be a wide range of interesting toys to play with. The Pulse highlights targets within a 60-meter radius, even through walls. The portable gun turret, meanwhile, lets you lay down suppressing fire from just about anywhere, even atop a police car. A Distraction Device creates a diversion, while the Seeker Mine chases enemies for 10 seconds, whereupon which the resulting explosion can deal between 1,500-2,000 damage to the unlucky victim; this is a small sampling of equipment.
Ubisoft also did away with a traditional heads-up display in favour of one that sits to the right of the character at all times. Health is one of the most important things you should pay attention to, but the HUD also shows the number of rounds in the current weapon and which Skills your partners have in play, allowing you to better strategise as a team.
Visual Knockout
The features alone make us want to play The Division. Then we have the graphics, which are without question among the best we've seen. Ubisoft managed to create a wounded universe overflowing with detail. Sunlight pokes through blinds, bullets burst through glass without automatically shattering it and wrecked vehicles burn in the garbage-filled streets. We find ourselves staring at the grand set pieces like bridges and brick buildings, but then there are the smaller things that attract attention, whether it's junk sitting on a bunch of shelves, bullets chipping away stone or posted notes stuck onto a map.
Based on what we've seen, Tom Clancy's The Division is one of the more ambitious Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC titles, and we can't help but get excited. From the sharp-looking graphics to the intriguing co-op play, this is the type of game with the potential to sell millions of systems. Fine by us, as we'll need plenty of fellow Division agents to save New York.

E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like – PK
our "E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like" section is dedicated to Music UnLtd. I discovered this Artist while shuffling songs on Spotify and I liked the vibes of this music.
The sound of this artist is intriguing.
I hit the play button without knowing what to expect. But as soon as I heard the groove and cadence of the new single 'after eight' I was immediately struck by the quality of the production.
The chord progression is never predictable and banal and manages to entertain the listener from the first to the last second.
PK likes to play with words and rhythms and with his compositional and unique style is able to stand out from the crowd.
The single is accompanied by a very cool, professionally filmed video that perfectly reflects the vibes of this song in my opinion.
A very talented artist who managed to find his music and his style.
Absolutely recommended to everyone.
after eight is PK's Single Out Now!
Innovative and Energetic!
Starting out as a promising battlerapper at a young age of 14 and losing his ability to speak at 17 years old, after relearning everything, PK became one of the first artists to start making new-school hip-hop in Estonia in the 2010s. He has performed several times on the main stage of the Estonian Hip-Hop Festival, in addition to albumtours over the country.
His song "Parema Elu Nimel" led to his own party series of the same name which was held during a period of one year in Suhkrumoll, a bar in the Old Town of Tallinn. "Parema elu nimel" parties were about being united together and blocking out all human prejudice.
PK describes himself as a "genrejumper", having experimented with several elements from different kinds of music. His album "Wet Dreams & 911 Calls" was a mixture of trap, emo rap and euro-trance while his latest album "appear offline" gained attention from indie and alternative publications.
PK is known for both melodic songs with massive synthy leads and intimate acoustic heart spillers.
He has also publicly spoken about his passion for punk and released several covers of famous artists from the rock genre, including Blink 182, Panic! at the Disco and Machine Gun Kelly.

Miss Kate Arnold
In 1901, at the age of 22, Miss Kate Arnold, daughter of Thomas T. and Minnie B. Arnold, came to Sheridan from Rappahannock, King George County, Virginia. She began working at the Sheridan Inn that same year as a seamstress for the Inn. During the following 64 years, she also worked as a desk clerk, housekeeper, hostess, and sitter for the many children who stayed at the Inn with their families. By 1909, she had moved into the Inn, where she remained for nearly six decades.
She became a symbol of love and caring for not only the Inn but for the many families and children that stayed there. Miss Kate, as everyone knew her, had a garden in the back of the Inn and raised flowers, providing fresh flowers on the dining room tables every day. Many residents of Sheridan today remember taking Miss Kate for a ride in the country in her later years to gather flowers for the tables.
Miss Kate will long be remembered as one of the Inn's most devoted residents. She was the self-appointed night watchman of the Inn, taking it upon herself to be sure that all candles had been extinguished and everyone was safe in their rooms before she went to bed each night. She saw many changes to the Inn and worked for several different owners. Despite changes in management and tough times for the Inn, she always had a job at the Inn. She left the Inn in 1965 because it was to be torn down.
Before she passed away in 1968, Miss Kate had made it known that she wanted her ashes returned to the Inn. Following a private service in Miss Kate's room on the third floor, her ashes were placed on a wall by a long-time friend. The exact location remains unknown today. It is said that Miss Kate is the guardian of the Inn. Her watchful presence is felt on a daily basis.

Why anyone wants to eat boring old Spaghetti Bolognese when they could be eating this beats me. This is the kind of food they all sat around eating in The Godfather, which probably explains why they were all so fat, (except you, Vito).
The key ingredient is a good high meat content, fairly spicy, Italian meatball. We make one with pork, bacon, fennel seeds, and a little chilli and garlic, which is brilliant for this recipe.
1Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions for a couple of minutes.
2Add Italian meatballs, stirring to break up and crumble together with the rosemary and bay leaves and cook gently for about 15 minutes until the onions begin to brown and the mixture appears dry.
3Add the red wine, increase heat and cook until most of the wine has evaporated.
4Pour over the chopped tomatoes and cook at a bare simmer until you have a nice thick sauce.
5Stir in the crème fraiche and grated Parmesan, season with salt &black pepper to taste.
6Serve over cooked pasta - I prefer something like tagliatelle or papardelle.

Q: zipWithIndex not working as expected in Play! Framework template I'm using a customer error helper in Play and when using a map on the Seq[FormError] it works as expected but I'd like to have access to an index so if there are more than x errors I can only show a certain amount.
The working code using map is:
@form.errors.map { error =>
        @defining(
          error.args.nonEmpty match {
            case true =>
              if (error.key.nonEmpty) {
                error.key + error.args.fold("") ( _ + "." + _ )
              } else {
                error.args.head.toString
              }
            case _ => error.key
          }
        ) { anchor :String =>

                @Messages(s"$errorMessageFieldPrefix.$anchor")

          }
      }

And the code that doesn't work, using zipWithIndex is:
@form.errors.zipWithIndex.foreach { case (error, i) =>
    @defining(
      error.args.nonEmpty match {
        case true =>
          if (error.key.nonEmpty) {
            error.key + error.args.fold("") ( _ + "." + _ )
          } else {
            error.args.head.toString
          }
        case _ => error.key
      }
    ) { anchor :String =>

            @Messages(s"$errorMessageFieldPrefix.$anchor")

      }
  }

Now the error message doesn't show.
Is there some quirk in the framework I'm missing here?

A: You seem to be using foreach, which returns unit, in the zipWithIndex variant. Try changing this to map.

The timeframe for beginning loan repayment varies depending on the type of loan. You are strongly advised to contact your loan servicer(s) EARLY for the exact date that repayment will begin.
You may visit StudentAid.gov/login⤷ to look up your federal Direct Loan servicer contact information. If you have older federal loans (such as FFEL loans), these will also be listed.
Perkins, HPSL, and LDS loans are generally serviced by the institution who issued the loan. At UF, students should refer to the University Bursar's website⤷ for servicer contact information.
If you have a private loan, you should contact your lender to determine when you will be required to start paying back your loan.
Please note: Your loan servicer(s) generally will notify you in advance of your repayment start date. If you do not receive any notification, you are still responsible for the payment! You are highly encouraged to set up an online account with each of your loan servicers to facilitate staying on top of your loan obligations.
Direct Loans, Perkins Loans, Health Professions Student Loans, and Loans for Disadvantaged Students are automatically deferred for DMD students while they are enrolled in the DMD program. You are not required to make payments on loans that are in deferment (although you may voluntarily make payments). Deferments do not negatively affect your credit score.
Please note: Private loans may or may not be deferred while you are in school. If you have a private loan, check the terms and conditions of your loan to determine if you will have an in-school deferment. Contact your lender with any questions.
Loan consolidation is the process of combining several federal loans into one new federal loan. The old loans are paid off, and the student pays toward the single Consolidation Loan instead.
After consolidation, you have one loan, one loan servicer, one payment, and one place to file forms.
Consolidation converts non-Direct loans into one Direct Loan.
May allow entire balance to be repaid with Pay As You Earn (PAYE) or Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE), as only Direct loans may be repaid with PAYE and REPAYE.
Having a Direct Loan maximizes your potential forgiveness amount in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Your repayment term may be extended to 30 years, lowering monthly payments.
Consolidation partially negates an aggressive repayment strategy.
You cannot target your higher interest loans for voluntary or additional payments because you have only one loan at one interest rate.
You pay a slightly higher interest rate for a Direct Consolidation Loan.
The interest rate on a Direct Consolidation Loan is a "weighted" or blended rate (of all loans being consolidated), rounded up an eighth of a percent (.125%) and fixed for the life of loan.
This new rate is not prohibitively higher than previous rates—don't let it discourage you from consolidating your loans.
The first payment on a Direct Consolidation Loan comes due immediately.
If you launch the process too early, you lose grace periods on the loans you are consolidating.
Federal Perkins and Health Professions Student loan balances lose their subsidized interest status if they are included in the consolidation.
The above information is from the ADEA Educational Debt Management website⤷.
Students considering consolidation should visit the Federal Student Aid website⤷ for more information.
Other types of not-for-profit organizations that provide certain types of qualifying public services.
Loan amounts forgiven under the PSLF Program are not considered income by the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, borrowers will not have to pay federal income tax on the amount of their Direct Loans that is forgiven after they have made the 120 qualifying payments.
Students should visit StudentAid.gov/publicservice⤷ for more information on PSLF.
Did you know that students can monitor their student loans while in school? Iontuition is a free resource for students to manage and monitor federal and private student loans.

Brennan attended several of the group's rehearsals: recording sound and image, discussing the music and words with the group and eventually participating in the singing itself. According to the artist: "the element that kept returning to my mind was the circle i.e. the women sit in a circle and the chimes and tambourine with its 'zils' all reinforce this notion of the circle – but it goes deeper. The notion of the circle is reflected in the way the singers learn new songs by moving round the circle taking turns and even within the song structures themselves which begin with a lead vocalist singing an initial phrase – followed by a series of call and response sung verses – and ends with the entire choir singing the same initial phrase. In Hinduism the circle (or mandala in Sanskrit) is a spiritual and ritual symbol.' Jonathan adds: 'My deepest thanks to the group for their warmth in welcoming me, their patience with my questions and for providing the inspiration for these works. Thanks also to the Belfast Print Workshop and the Crescent Arts Centre for initiating and facilitating this collaboration.

Harvard Professor Says Nancy Grace's Questioning Contributed to Mother's Suicide
OCALA, Fla. – A Harvard professor says a CNN Headline News host's relentless questioning of a Florida mother three years ago contributed to her suicide.
That's according to a filing in a wrongful death case brought by the family of Melinda Duckett. Duckett's 2-year-old son was reported missing in 2006, and CNN host Nancy Grace launched aggressive nightly coverage of the case.
Click here for photos of police evidence.
The family claims that Grace's questioning and CNN's coverage decisions inflicted severe emotional distress on the young mother. Grace interviewed Duckett after speculation had begun about the mother's alleged involvement in the toddler's disappearance.
The next day, Duckett shot herself in the head.
Dr. Harold J. Bursztajn, a Harvard clinical professor of psychiatry writes that the CNN interview inflicted public humiliation and was "a substantial contributing cause" of Duckett's death. CNN and Grace have denied any involvement in the suicide.
Trenton Duckett has still not been found, and his mother remains the only suspect.


A man is believed to have been shot in South Belfast.
Police are responding to a shooting incident in the Markets area of south Belfast this morning, Tuesday, May 5.
The shotting is said to have happened at 9am in Welsh Street.
It's understood one man has been shot.

Doctors for COVID Ethics: Halt Use of Pfizer COVID Vaccines in Adolescents 'Immediately'
In a 20-page report, three doctors who are all founding members of Doctors for COVID Ethics outline in detail the compelling argument for why COVID vaccines are not only unnecessary and ineffective, but also dangerous for children and adolescents.
Children's Health Defense Team
Miss a day, miss a lot. Subscribe to The Defender's Top News of the Day. It's free.
For months, Doctors for COVID Ethics, a Europe-based international alliance of hundreds of concerned doctors and scientists, has been issuing urgent warnings about the short- and long-term risks of COVID vaccines, particularly for children.
In May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) extended Pfizer's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) — previously granted for ages 16 and up — to 12- to 15-year-olds.
Pfizer was the first company to test experimental COVID vaccines in children, and is the only manufacturer thus far to have been granted EUA for vaccine recipients under age 18.
In addition to submitting three admonitory letters to the EMA — on March 10, April 1 and April 20 — Doctors for COVID Ethics on May 18 served Notices of Liability to all members of the European Parliament for COVID-vaccine-related harms and deaths to children.
Now, three of the group's founding signatories — Dr. Michael Palmer (Canada), Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, (Germany) and Stefan Hockertz, Ph.D. (Germany) — have assembled in one document powerful expert evidence showing COVID vaccines are not only unnecessary and ineffective but also dangerous for children and adolescents.
On July 3, Italian lawyer Renate Holzeisen submitted the expert document to the European General Court as part of a lawsuit challenging the EMA's late-May decision to extend emergency use of Pfizer's vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds.
The 20-page report's value stems not just from the three authors' impeccable professional credentials but from their meticulous aggregation and analysis of manufacturer data, regulatory agency assessments and published science.
As the medical/scientific trio compellingly argues, the evidence allows only one possible conclusion: Not only should Pfizer's vaccine not be given to adolescents, but its use needs to stop immediately in all age groups.
The report begins by demolishing the argument that adolescents need to be vaccinated against COVID. The three experts emphasize the "particularly low" COVID-19 prevalence in adolescents and the utter absence of severe cases in children and teens 10 to 17 years old obviates any rationale for vaccinating young people — particularly given the availability of effective treatments for the tiny proportion who experience anything other than mild illness.
Recent studies confirm this crucial point, showing that "the risks of severe illness or death from SARS-CoV-2 are extremely low in children and young people."
The expert summary also highlights other factors negating the case for teen vaccination. For example:
A "large proportion of individuals in all age groups, including adolescents, already have specific, reliable immunity to COVID-19" and are also protected from severe disease by robust cross-immunity, which, the European experts point out, "will be particularly effective in healthy adolescents and young adults."
According to Doctors for COVID Ethics, large-scale studies have "unambiguously" refuted the notion of "asymptomatic transmission" (used to support the claim that kids pose a risk to others). These studies show that no illness has been traced to individuals who tested "positive" but did not exhibit signs of illness.
From the beginning, the COVID infection fatality rate (IFR) — the number of deaths divided by the number of infections — has been strongly biased toward the elderly. In addition, a recent study, which revised "biased inflated estimates" of the IFR downward to an average of 0.15%, "reassuringly" makes the IFR for COVID comparable to that of influenza.
The three authors mention, in passing, that few European countries view childhood vaccination against influenza as either "urgent or necessary." In fact, European infectious disease experts have stated they do not want the pediatric vaccine schedule to be "too busy," while also acknowledging the "mixed" evidence on flu shot effectiveness and the unknown "long-term effect of repeated annual vaccination from an early age."

These notes of caution could apply equally well to COVID shots that are threatening to morph into an annual (or even more frequent) requirement. Disturbingly, France is preparing to administer millions of booster shots in September, barely seven to eight months since experimental COVID vaccination began.
The second section of the expert report digs into Pfizer's claims of 95%–100% effectiveness for its COVID vaccine — representations, the report's authors assert, that "cannot be trusted."
The three scientists first note (as Children's Health Defense and others have done as well) that the manufacturers' figures represent relative rather than absolute efficacy. In absolute terms, Pfizer vaccine efficacy is "very modest," protecting (at best) less than 1% of clinical trial participants who took the jab.
According to the three experts, however, even this dubious achievement "cannot be accepted at face value." Their scrutiny of assessments prepared by the FDA and EMA shows Pfizer's data are rife with "unlikely claims and contradictions," including the intimation that after the first dose of vaccine, immunity sets in "very suddenly and uniformly on day 12 exactly."
Given that immunity typically develops more slowly and gradually, the authors of the report state, the day 12 effect is "not at all a biologically plausible outcome."
An additional puzzling finding concerns two contradictory sets of data about COVID-19 incidence in the vaccine and placebo groups — results that "cannot possibly be reconciled." The experts' conclusion? One of the two data sets was, in all likelihood, "fabricated."
Dissecting a Pfizer study conducted with adolescents, the three scientists conclude the injections produced a net negative due to their impact on overall morbidity. Whereas none of the participating adolescents experienced severe COVID, vaccine side effects were "exceedingly common," with 55% to 65% experiencing headaches, among other undesirable reactions.
The expert trio points out that severe headaches are sometimes associated with blood clots — a serious adverse event associated with all four COVID vaccines currently authorized in Europe and/or the U.S.
Taking side effects into account makes it plain that "overall morbidity was far greater in the vaccinated than in the placebo group," the authors write.
As the three scientists understatedly comment, "That neither the FDA nor the EMA picked up on any of these inconsistencies does not instill confidence in the thoroughness and integrity of their review processes."
They conclude:
"The clinical trials carried out by Pfizer contain no proof of any benefit conferred by the vaccine with respect to any clinically relevant endpoints. This applies to all tested age groups, and in particular also to adolescents."
The most alarming section of the report is Palmer's, Bhakdi's and Hockertz's discussion of the Pfizer vaccine's "catastrophically bad" safety profile in both adults and adolescents.
The Pfizer injection's destructive impact is readily discernible by anyone with the patience to pore through the vaccine injury reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the U.S. or the EudraVigilance database in Europe.
For 12- to 17-year-old Americans receiving a COVID shot, VAERS received more than 13,000 reports of adverse events by July 2, including more than 1,909 reports (Pfizer alone) of anaphylaxis, 343 reports (Pfizer alone) of heart problems, 56 reports (Pfizer alone) of blood clotting disorders and 14 deaths, of which 13 were reported after a Pfizer vaccine.
This is not to absolve the other COVID vaccines being administered to those 18 and up — for example, the Johnson & Johnson injection now comes with warnings about increased risks of blood clots and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
As for the two messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines — Pfizer's and Moderna's — the European experts express concerns about the toxicity of the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that deliver the injections' payload of mRNA and the spike protein expressed by that mRNA.
Ordinarily, the capillary barrier is supposed to keep large molecules out of the blood. In preclinical studies of the mRNA vaccines, however, researchers found the LNPs circulated in the bloodstream and concentrated in vital organs such as the ovaries, liver and spleen.
Regulatory documents revealed Pfizer didn't thoroughly examine biodistribution and pharmacokinetics issues relating to its vaccine before submitting the vaccine to European Medicines Agency for review.

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) June 8, 2021
Other research shows that following intravenous injection, LNPs can penetrate the most highly "fortified" capillary barrier of all — the blood-brain barrier.
The "upshot," in the opinion of the European scientists, is "the vaccine will appear in the bloodstream, in large amounts and on short order" [emphasis in original]. Unfortunately, more blood clotting complications are the likely result.
In addition, high levels of spike protein expression in places like the ovaries, placenta and lactating mammary glands raise the prospect of disturbing reproductive and neonatal outcomes, including female infertility, miscarriages and, as has been anecdotally reported, deaths in breastfeeding newborns.
Stop the 'systematic negligence' and fraud
In 2020, Pfizer was the second-largest pharmaceutical company by revenue, manufacturing not just COVID vaccines but more than 350 pharmaceutical products, many of which are household names.
But it is important not to lose sight of Pfizer's criminal track record — a pattern of "habitual" fraud and dishonesty so pervasive and longstanding that it can only be understood as an intentional business model.
Describing prosecutors' refusal to hold Pfizer executives personally liable for criminal actions, a health policy analyst concluded in 2010, "both criminal and civil penalties appear to be, to Pfizer at least, a business expense worth incurring."
Despite this troubling record, analysts celebrate Pfizer as a solid market presence, stating that "People know and trust [the company's] brands." Widely used Pfizer products include Advil, Ativan, Centrum multivitamins, Chapstick, the contraceptive Depo Provera, Emergen-C, EpiPen, Flagyl, Lipitor, Lyrica, Neosporin, Premarin, Preparation H, the best-selling childhood vaccine Prevnar, Robitussin cough syrup, Viagra, Xanax, Zithromax and Zoloft.
For consumers distressed by the carnage that seems to follow Pfizer's COVID injections — and by the company's recurrent lawsuits, recalls and problems with quality control — it may be time to stop buying Pfizer's many "instantly identifiable" products and also shun the more than 96,000 worldwide employees who make the company's wanton harms possible.
Buttressed by the evidence carefully assembled by the Doctors for COVID Ethics, it also goes without saying that we need to push back in every conceivable way against COVID vaccine mandates for children.

Misdemeanor charges are serious and should not be handled in court without the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
If a crime is not a felony, it is usually considered a misdemeanor, and while it is true that misdemeanor charges carry less severe punishments than felonies, they may still result in significant, long-term consequences that require a strong defense. Popular culture may be partly to blame for many people's casual attitude toward misdemeanors—it seems that every reality star and TV character has had a run in with the law. "Being charged with a misdemeanor isn't such a big deal, right?" Wrong. In real life, any criminal conviction on your record is a very big deal, and misdemeanor charges should be taken seriously. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor in Charles County, please contact The Law Office of Hammad S. Matin, P.A. to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our experienced La Plata & Waldorf misdemeanor lawyers.
A wide range of crimes fall under the misdemeanor label and may be punishable by large fines, jail time, or a combination of the two.
A misdemeanor is the next step up from a general infraction, such as a traffic ticket. In Maryland, misdemeanors are classified as first-degree misdemeanors and second-degree misdemeanors, with first-degree misdemeanor offenses being more serious than second-degree misdemeanor offenses. At The Law Office of Hammad S. Matin, P.A., we represent people facing all types of misdemeanor charges, including:
Drinking and driving (DUI)
Driving with a revoked license
Public drunkenness
Failure to appear in court
Punishments for misdemeanor crimes can include incarceration in county jail and a fine or restitution. The amount of time a person is held depends on the crime committed and the degree in which the crime is classified—first or second. In addition, loss of certain privileges often follows a misdemeanor charge, including but not limited to loss of a driver's license, loss of a professional license, loss of the ability to hold public office, and termination from public employment or government employment. Penalty convictions for misdemeanor crimes include community service, probation, severe fines, up to twelve months in a county jail, citations, and mandatory classes. So, you can see, being arrested for a misdemeanor in Maryland is nothing to take lightly. If you have been accused of a misdemeanor in Charles County circuit court or district court, we can help you navigate the courtroom as your case comes to trial.
Do not simply chalk a misdemeanor up to a learning experience. The only lesson to learn is to call a lawyer if you're facing any type of criminal charges.
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor in Charles County, please contact The Law Office of Hammad S. Matin, P.A. to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our experienced criminal defense attorneys.

When your wedding day finally arrives, you will have spent countless hours planning and preparing for the perfect day. While we hope that your day goes off without a single issue, it's likely that something small or big will happen. Below is a list of items that will help get you through some of the most common issues we see happen on a regular basis. While not every item will pertain to your wedding, we recommend taking a quick glance through the list for any items that you think you may need. Build yourself a nice little wedding day survival kit with everything you think you may need.
1 – Heel Stoppers – We recommend these for the bride and all of the bridesmaids. You will most likely be walking on some grass during your wedding day. Use these to make sure those heels stay above ground!
2 – Rain Boots – You won't know you need these until your wedding date gets closer. But if you see rain on the forecast, get yourself some good looking rain boots. These will keep your feet dry and can also make for some fun puddle splashing pictures!
3 – Men's Dress Socks – Go ahead and buy all the groomsmen socks as a present. Because at least one guy will forget his and end up rocking those ugly white athletic socks.
4 – Fashion Tape – There is always that one bridesmaid that lost a bit of weight and her dress is now running a bit big. Don't let your wedding turn into a peep show.
5 – Clear Umbrella – If rain is in the forecast, make sure to get some clear umbrellas. The trick here is to get the ones we link too. The bubble ones most people get may seem like a good idea, but they will make it so we can't see your faces anytime you need to use them.
6 – Tide To-Go Pen – Spills happen. Even if you don't need it on your wedding day, this will come in handy at some point or another.
7 – White Chalk – Tide To-Go pens are great. But some stains are stubborn. If you have one on your white dress, you can cover it up with some white chalk.
8 – Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray – Not all makeup artists have a setting spray. You'll be thankful you got some when you are looking fresh at the end of the day.
9 – Beauty Blender Makeup Sponge – You're probably going to cry tears of joy at some point. You will definitely sweat. This sponge will let you easily fix any of your water-related makeup mishaps.
10 – Small Sewing Kit – You don't want to be the person that drops it like it's hot on the dance floor and end up spending the rest of the night hiding the tear in your pants.
11 – Dental floss – dental floss is stronger than thread and is also clear. If you have a dress malfunction and need to be sewn in, this will keep thing secure all day! And you got the sewing kit mentioned above, so you should be all set!
12 – Graphite Stick – We have all dealt with a finicky zipper. It's no fun. You definitely don't want to deal with this on your wedding dress. So get this graphite stick to help get things moving if they become a problem.
13 – Extra large Safty Pins – Not all emergencies give you enough time to break out the sewing kit. Have these on hand to get you by until you can get things fixed properly.
14 – Eyelash Glue – Your makeup artist got you all set and ready to go before the wedding. But eyelashes have been known to come loose. Don't be stuck with a floppy eyelash on the dance floor.
15 – Reception Shoes – Get a comfortable pair of shoes to dance in at the reception (guys and girls). We love TOMs, but you can go with whatever your heart desires. Trust us, you'll thank us at the end of the night! Especially if you have a hardwood or concrete dance floor!
16 – Mints – Because that first kiss is going to come faster then you can imagine!
17 – Bobby Pins – Don't let a rogue hair get you down. You will probably also need these to secure your veil.
18 – Tissues – I'm not crying! You're crying!
19 – Bug Spray – Don't go on your honeymoon as an itchy mess. Protect yourself from all those biting bugs.
22 – Sunscreen – Because you're supposed to come back from your honeymoon with a sunburn. Not go there to end up nursing your wounds in the shade.
23 – Blotting Papers – Keep your skin looking good. Especially on those hot and humid days. These are good for guys and girls so you can avoid that shiny skin look that no one wants.
25 – Baby Powder – Because when things get hot and humid, they also get sticky and chaffy.
26 – Mini First Aid Kit – You don't want to be the one that gets blood on the dress.
27 – Super Glue – Fix a broken shoe, jewelry, or even a deep cut. But we aren't doctors so maybe ignore that last one.
28 – Phone Charger – Because no one wants a dead phone. This charger will let you charge your phone and your friends phone all on the go or plugged into the wall.
29 – Bluetooth Speaker – A good playlist will make your getting ready experience a lot more fun! But you don't want to end up listening to those hot jams from your cell phone that you stuck inside a cup to try and make it sound louder!
31 – Protein Bars – For you and the wedding party. You don't want your wedding to be the one everyone talks about because someone fainted at the altar.
34 – Tylonal – Having some quick pain relief on hand is never a bad idea.
35 – Pepcid AC – If you are drinking on your wedding day, don't let acid reflux get you down.
36 – Benadryl – No one told uncle Bob there was shellfish in the pasta. Be prepared for any unforeseen allergic reactions.
If you are going to be placing a handful of orders in the months leading up to your wedding, we recommend signing up for an Amazon Prime Trial membership. You get to sign up for just a month at a much lower price than their yearly membership and you still get all the benefits.
Lastly, while you are searching around, it may be worth setting up a wedding registry through Amazon. Most couples register at places like Bed Bath and Beyond and Target, but Amazon will give you a lot more items to choose from and usually at lower prices. You also get up to 20% off for signing up.
We truly hope this list of items is helpful! If you have any questions be sure to let us know. And if you have any items that you feel should be added, make sure to leave them in the comments!

MYS: Thriving in Brokerage with Camper & Nicholsons
Joined by Fabio Ermetto of Camper & Nicholsons we discuss the new and exciting chapter for the brokerage with a deeper insight into the thriving superyacht market, a new client demographic and the future for brokerage as new and innovative demands shape the industry as we know it.
Face to face with the brand new Chief Commercial Officer for the company, we learnt of changing times for the industry; but firstly on a personal level, why Fabio made the move into the realm of brokerage; "After 17 years in this business on the production side I decided to move to the service side to increase my experience."
He continues, giving a nod to the company's unusual ethos, "it's the closest company in terms of structure and mentality to a production company."
However, since Fabio's arrival into the oldest yachting business in the world, he's already noted some considerable changes in the way not only the house, but how brokerage now operates. "Obviously we have a lot of changes, almost by the week we are adding new brokers to the team, new people in all the positions, and there is really a lot of enthusiasm in the company, that's what I've found, so it's a great moment to develop," notes Fabio.
In fact, he suggests tthat the brokerage market is today, guiding us to think differently and be ahead of time - despite the often heightened levels of traditionalism in yachting. In the full interview above, Fabio further explains the impact of technology, from Whatsapp to Instagram; and the change in mentality of 'typical brokerage' as we know it.
To hear more about changing tides, and how the yachting experience is changing as a whole, watch the video above.

Can Donald Trump compete in Minnesota?
A Republican presidential candidate hasn't won Minnesota since 1972. And Trump isn't exactly popular here.
Could Donald Trump be the first Republican to win Minnesota since Richard Nixon in 1972?
Now that he is the official, not presumptive, nominee for president, it's a question worth asking, even if the answer seems clear: probably not.
Among Minnesota GOP delegates at the Republican National Convention, even the truest of the true Trump believers acknowledged that winning Minnesota would be a tall order.
While Hillary Clinton is not exactly popular in the North Star State — she was defeated soundly on caucus night by Bernie Sanders — Trump is particularly unpopular here, finishing behind Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Yet, Trump's camp has signaled that Minnesota is one of 17 states they plan to target in the general election, alongside top-tier battleground states like Ohio and Florida.
The list could just be campaign posturing, but forget winning: Do Minnesota Republicans think Trump can even compete in Minnesota this cycle?
Why would a Minnesota win be such an uphill climb for Trump? As many, Minnesotan and not, often point out, no Republican has won this state in 10 election cycles, the longest streak for any state in the nation.
The last time a Republican even sniffed victory in Minnesota was President George W. Bush, who came within four points of John Kerry in 2004.
Minnesota delegates arrived at varying outlooks on Trump's chances in Minnesota, from cautious hedging to outright pessimism.
Streaks, of course, break. But in few states is Trump less popular than he is in Minnesota. It was home to one of his few third-place finishes in the primary process — only in Utah and Wyoming did he perform worse.
As Republicans handed Trump the nomination, Minnesota delegates looked at those factors, among others, and arrived at varying outlooks on Trump's chances in Minnesota, from cautious hedging to outright pessimism.
Jennifer Carnahan, a Rubio delegate from Minneapolis, said, "I don't think Trump has a chance to win the state of Minnesota, to be quite honest." Carnahan is running for the Senate District 59 seat against DFL Sen. Bobby Joe Champion; she said that among the voters she's encountered there is very, very low support for Trump.
Even one of the delegation's few die-hard Trump supporters, Sheri Auclair of Wayzata, did not sound especially bullish in describing Trump's chances in Minnesota. "I'm on the fence with that," she said, when asked if Trump could win Minnesota.
"I'm always up for a fight. Sometimes, if you fly over a state enough, the people just stop working. … If you don't fight for it, it will always be the DFL. As an activist, I will never stop fighting," she said.
Minnesota GOP brass were a little more cautious in assessing Trump's chances, but their statements hardly radiated confidence.
According to Ben Golnik, a Rubio delegate and the executive director of the Minnesota House GOP, "Minnesota always offers some sort of opportunities for Republicans. We haven't seen a real, significant amount of resources put in since 2004. What we've heard from the campaign is they think they have opportunities in the Rust Belt and some of the Midwestern states like Minnesota," he said.
Rep. Tom Emmer invoked, as many do, the election of 1984 in assessing Republican chances.
Trump, if he is to be competitive in Minnesota, will resonate in parts of the state that few Republican candidates have before.
Many delegates pointed to the 8th Congressional District — particularly the Iron Range, a longtime DFL stronghold — as a place where Trump could do particularly well and expand the map for Republicans.
They see Trump's message of restoring American industry and ending foreign trade deals as an appealing one in this corner of Minnesota, where NAFTA and TPP are highly unpopular and unemployment remains relatively high.
Trump's appeal in a place like the Iron Range is certainly more expansive than a candidate like Mitt Romney, who was beaten thoroughly there in 2012.
At the same time, though, Trump may fall flat in places Romney did well. Trump was unpopular in the suburbs on caucus night — finishing far behind Rubio in the areas to the north and west, where Romney cleaned up in 2012.
If the Trump campaign plans to compete at any point in Minnesota, they're taking their time.
Granted, it's early for general election politics in a place where the State Fair is considered the opening of campaign season. Still, the Clinton campaign had dedicated Minnesota staff working months before the Minnesota caucus, and was sending out Minnesota-specific press releases since last August. On Wednesday night, as the nation focused on the RNC, the Clinton camp, with the help of Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Gov. Mark Dayton, officially opened her Minnesota general election office in St. Paul.
Downey said that "no doubt" the Democrats have a head start in Minnesota, but added that "the Trump campaign is working hard to get built for the general election," even if he and other party leaders did not describe in concrete terms what that looks like.
For now, Republicans were content to focus on the potential of a real top-of-the-ticket GOP challenge in Minnesota, even if they do not know how, or when, that may materialize.

I expect Minnesota to be blue this November, as it has for decades now.

GOP is whistling through the grave yard.
A couple of points: first "While Hillary Clinton is not exactly popular in the North Star State", Bernie did win the caucuses but when the pool of voters is larger Hillary does better than Bernie the polls that were taken show her with wide margins. This was generally true in primaries with larger numbers of voters.
Second, Trump may do better than most GOPers on the range he still will be in the minority. I think the only congressional district that Trump might carry would be the Sixth and that isn't a given.

I think the mood of the voter is more like 1994. The Democrat lead US House had the post office scandal and Gingrich came out with his Contact with America. That election ended 40 years of GOP back benching. 2016 has Clinton's basement server and missing emails and Trump is riding 'Make America Great Again'. 1994 was the year Minnesota voted in Grams and Gutknecht, so we can lean conservative from time to time.

I was visiting with a friend, a medical professional, whose political preferences were unknown to me. I do know her husband's (another medical professional) right leaning preferences and asked if she knew who he was favoring. I got a whispered "Trump". And you, I asked, another whispered "Trump".
Here are 2 highly educated, smart, rational, caring people and despite their acknowledged deep apprehensions about Trump, still prefer him to what we all know will be the predictable third term of middle of the road Clintonism.
On one side is the status quo with potential gradual change, and on the other, radical change that could change the world for the good or just blow it up.
And the conservative position is to risk the blow up even after we can see how that worked for the Brits in BREXIT.

Trump has stated that he'll expand the electoral map. It looks like he will, by making HRC competitive in red states, rather than Trump being competing better in blue states than Romney, McCain, etc.

The media only revealed that the Clintons donated 10% of their income. Is the media stupid not to look at the details of this? The details are that of the $1m+ change and $3m+ change donated for 2015 and 2014, that almost 100% of their contributions are to themselves….the Clinton Foundation. If that would have been Trump, we would have heard about it by now. Can you I imagine the complexity of his return. No wonder the IRS audits it every year. Keeps them in business :-).

… And We are the Dreamers of Dreams.
I'm increasingly captivated by the idea that some people become successful while others do not.
A recent movement in the company where I work has highlighted the fact that some people move up. They are the people who are perfect for the bigger role when it comes along. They have terrific management and interpersonal skills, and they are usually a joy to work with. I'm interested by the idea that there are individuals who are going to be more successful – earn more, have more influence, command more respect, than others who are happy to remain 'safely thus'.
What makes some people want more, and some happy to remain where they are.
Still from Lawrence of Arabia. Absolutely mesmerising.
While I'm sure we all dream of success, there are two different kinds of dreamers. The dreamers of the day and the dreamers of the night. Dreamers of the day are the ones with their eyes open, making it possible.
There is a wealth of resources online, for free, to people who are willing to look for it. The market is flooded with literature on professional development, time management, and setting goals. What I've realised is that there is always help available to people who are willing to look for it.
Not all of us are born with great leadership or management qualities. Skills are earned with education and training – great managers have invested in their skills and provide more value to the company in which they work.
Here are some of my favourite career advice resources.
