How to Feel Better: Bodily Happiness – Rubini Inc.
The answer? Buy jewelry of course!
Actually, I think jewelry purchases and upkeep can be a way to show yourself love and kindness. But the secret to feeling good, if you are struggling in any area of your life, is to ask for help. There are a plethora of circumstances and feelings we experience in our lives. As I am a white collar privileged woman living in the United States, I speak from this perspective. I grew up believing that you should never be fully satisfied with your body, that you should always be striving for better because surely you are not good enough. And in fact, you should regularly be openly self critical and vocal about your short comings just so the world is aware that you know you have huge undesirable flaws, so that the world doesn't also have to let you know. We are so beautiful, but our words and thoughts, so ingrained and natural to us due to our observation of how to be, that we literally cannot recognize this beauty. What if you could just flip a switch? What if it's possible to go to bed and awaken the next day seeing your beauty and grace. Without dieting. Without suffering. You just wake up right rather than wrong. This, my beloved women (and maybe a man or 2 who's chosen to tune in) is a miracle.
Don't you want a miracle? Don't you deserve miracles? You can order however you want to feel on the menu and just like that your wish is the universe's command. I decided last winter that I was tired of fighting my weight, that I wanted to feel well fed and nourished and loved and accept myself regardless...so I added whatever I craved back into my diet and told myself that my weight didn't matter and that I loved myself and my body regardless... and I did gain weight. My clothes stopped fitting. I felt uncomfortable running due the 'weight belt' I was now carrying around my waist. And yet, I did not want to struggle with food. I did not want to deny myself what I craved. Surely an insoluble conundrum. Truthfully, deep down where we bury our shame, I was burying my body shame and my shame that I was ashamed of myself. That's a lot of shame!
What I decided to do was ask the experts for assistance and then just be. Introducing the experts: any source of power in the universe that you are inclined to believe in. I just told my friend who struggles with depression to ask the hockey gods for help, but I wasn't kidding. I silently or vocally or in pen on paper appeal for help from: the sky, the sun, my passed on pups, my passed on grandparents, the energy I see in thunderstorms, my inner being, gods, goddesses, godness energy, the rain, the birds singing to me. Any and everyone available! I ask for help. And for body shame, I asked for help feeling beautiful and comfortable and nourished in my body. Because feeling nourished is necessary if you don't want to feel starving. I started with asking for help first. "Please help me feel nourished and loved and beautiful and comfortable in my skin" And then I moved on to saying that I was open to feeling those things. And every time my old habit of pointing out my physical flaws came up, I just recognized it as an old habit, one that was fading and being rewritten, and continued my mantra that I was ready to feel differently about my body. Eventually, my mantra became less about saying that I was open to feeling better and more about saying that I did feel different. And without thinking about dieting, or suffering to get a different body shape, my eating easily shifted, my thinking about food shifted, and most amazingly my body changed.
No diet. No suffering. I just placed my order and readied myself to receive it and I was assisted to my desire gracefully, easily, miraculously, lovingly. I am blessed and open to this miracle in my perception and in my experience. I put on jewelry now because i don't mind being observed. I feel good in my skin and sometimes a little bling is just like the cherry on top of a perfect sundae.

Transport After the Virus Will Be More Cars, Fewer Trains
April 16, 2020 EnergyNow Media
By Nathaniel Bullard
(Bloomberg) Last week, residents of the Indian state of Punjab could gaze north and see something not visible for decades: the Himalayas.
India's lockdown and the ensuing major reduction in air pollution granted people as far as 100 miles away a view of the mountain range. A few weeks before that, photographer Gabriel Duarte posted a cloudless, pollution-free image of Los Angeles nearly devoid of cars (and their tailpipe emissions). Both are visions of an unusual present, but we should ask ourselves how much they represent the future, as well.
Bloomberg Opinion's Conor Sen wrote Tuesday that "social distancing requirements for transportation" could mean that as commuting returns in force, "we may end up with more cars on the roads and traffic jams as people avoid public transportation." We're already seeing Sen's hypothetical become real in one major market where post-lockdown traffic is returning: China.
Earlier this year, daily highway vehicle traffic volumes in China were lower than they had been a year earlier thanks to reduced activity during lockdown. By early March, however, China's daily traffic was consistently above that of a year before. Car-buying in Wuhan, the original epicenter of Covid-19 and the first city to be sealed off to prevent its spread, has also rebounded. As an Audi AG sales representative said, "It's like a boom after a two-month dormancy. I thought sales would be frozen."
There's one exception to the increase in China's highway traffic: the Qingming or Tomb-Sweeping Day festival in early April, when far fewer cars were on the road than a year earlier. That suggests people are commuting more by car but still reducing their holiday travel.
U.S. public transit operators, already feeling the economic pinch of lockdown, are starting to adjust service accordingly. Los Angeles Metro is now running its modified Sunday service every day of the week in response to fewer travelers. According to Los Angeles Times transportation reporter Laura Nelson, Metro staff estimate that the cuts represent a 29% annual reduction in bus service and a 14% annual reduction in rail service. It's a big move, but it's also exactly in line with what Spain's Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz said late last month: "We need to reduce mobility and turn all of the days of the week into Sundays."
In an essay published Monday, independent analystBenedict Evans wrote that due to Covid-19, "we're going through a vast, forced public experiment to find out which bits of human psychology will align with which kinds of tool"—that is, which of the online services we've been forced to turn to under social distancing will remain a part of our lives even once the quarantine has passed. Evans applies that analogy to consumer and business technology, but it applies to our residential spaces, our office spaces (eventually), and particularly to transportation.
Covid-19 has brought about changes that urban planners once only dreamed about. The city of Oakland, California has designated 74 miles of neighborhood streets for "bikes, pedestrians, wheelchair users, and local vehicles only." New Zealand's transport minister has announced the country will provide funding for 90% of the cost of pop-up cycleways and footpaths. This is our present moment in transport.
But it won't last forever. When we exit our however-long-it-will-be of weekdays that feel like Sundays, people will start moving again. China's example suggests that personal car traffic will more than rebound—and that public transit will not.

An investment is an asset that is purchased by an investor, where he or she expects that it will make more money than original amount put into the investment. An investment will also involve choices that are made by an investor such as investing from a retirement fund, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETF, and even trading foreign currency denominations (Forex). All these have various levels of risks, and depending on how you invest, they can generate returns over a period of time.
For example consider two of the most common types of investments: stocks and real estate. Investing in stocks can certainly make an investor rich; it is a fact that some of the richest men on earth earned their riches through stock investing. If you buy a stock, it would mean that you will own part of a company. There are many ways to buy a stock but here we will consider the most important strategy; which is to value your investment for the long term. Taking care of a stock for a long period is essential before the stock price rises. An investor should choose a stock that is valuable but seen by others as undervalued. Through this type of thinking, the investor will be able to have a greater probability of profit in the long run.
Real estate is a common form of investment which can also make an investor rich. Engaging in the real estate business involves buying a property or a house and selling it for a higher price. With this method of investing, there are many ways of investing correctly as well. Again, let us consider the best way to earn through the real estate business which is to not rely on appreciation for your safety and profit. With this advice in hand you will be able to choose the house that you want to invest in. You should consider the repairs that need to be done and think if you will be spending more than it is worth. However, there are also advantages in buying undervalued homes and homes that need repair.
When it comes to real estate, there are obviously different kinds of benefits from property investment vs. stock investments. When you invest in properties, the control is yours, and you can easily get your money as long as you have a good mortgage provider. However the advantage to stocks is the ability to cash out quickly, unlike real estate. One isn't necessarily better than the other, it just depends on the investment basics and your preferred investing style.


The changes are part of maintenance work that was announced in October to prepare for the L train shutdown, though the MTA announced on January 18 that it is forging ahead with a new plan that will not require a full closure of the L for 15 months. The disruptions scheduled for the coming weeks are to prepare the system to run on one track instead of two beginning in April.
There will be two shuttle bus routes available to supplement the L during the planned overnight work, in addition to an increase of M14 service in Manhattan. One shuttle route will run between the Broadway Junction and Lorimer Street stations, making stops at each station along the way and connecting to the J and M trains at Marcy Avenue. A second route will run in a loop connecting the L's Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street stations to the nearby J/M's Marcy Avenue and Hewes Street stations, as well as the G line's Broadway station.
Three shuttle bus routes will be available during the weekend closures. One will shuttle riders between Broadway Junction and the M train at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenue station, the second will run between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenue and the Lorimer Street-Metropolitan Avenue G station, and the third will stop at the Marcy Avenue and Hewes Street J and M stations, the Broadway and Lorimer Street-Metropolitan Avenue G stations, and the Bedford Avenue L station.

Makerere University/Yale University (MUYU) Collaboration in Kampala, Uganda
Mulago Hospital Complex
Mulago National Specialsed Hospital
Kara Becker '18 took this photograph as a PA student performing clinical rotations.
Originally founded in 1913, and then expanded in 1962, the Mulago National Referral Hospital (MNRH) has been the primary public tertiary care hospital of Uganda, and the main teaching partner of the Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS). Over time, the clinical care, education, and research facilities on the Hospital and MakCHS campus expanded to include the Infectious Diseases Institute, the Uganda Cancer Institute, the Uganda Heart Institute, and two newly completed facilities – the Mulago Women's Referral Hospital and the Mulago National Specialised Hospital. These locations, in addition to the smaller public partner hospitals located in other parts of Kampala - Kawempe Referral Hospital, Kiruddu Referral Hospital, and Naguru General Hospital - offer unique opportunities to work with highly skilled clinicians who are faced with the task of managing a population with a heavy disease burden within the context of a resource-limited setting.
The collaboration between Makerere University and Yale University, known as MUYU, was formalized in 2006 and has had a significant impact on medical education at both institutions. This collaboration was developed and directed by Dr. Majid Sadigh with strong support from the leadership at the MakCHS and the MNRH, and is now co-directed by Dr. Tracy Rabin and Professor Harriet Mayanja-Kizza. It has provided opportunities for a two-way exchange of medical students, residents and attending/consultant physicians. A MUYU administrative office has been established at MakCHS, across the street from MNRH; it is the coordinating hub of activities for our partners. This group of physicians and administrators manage incoming MUYU participants, coordinate connections with physician mentors on different wards and throughout the Ugandan medical community, and organize a wealth of cultural and medical experiences (outlined below).
MUYU has helped to build capacity in a number of other ways, including improving access to the most current information at the Albert Cook Medical Library through a partnership with Yale Medical Library, enhancing the diagnostic and training capacity of Ward 4A's side laboratory, and supporting breast cancer screening efforts by facilitating the donation of two mobile mammography units. MUYU has supported the development of the Rainer Arnhold Senior House Officers' Teaching Support project to organize and enhance post-graduate medical education.
What started as a collaboration between two universities has grown to include participants from many institutions including the University of Vermont, Edinburgh University in Scotland, and Kazan State Medical University in Russia and Erlangen University in Germany. Although the work in Kampala had started as a collaboration between the Departments of Internal Medicine and a spectrum of subspecialty sections, the capacity building efforts have expanded to include a number of other YSM clinic department partnerships (Emergency Medicine, Endocrine Surgery, Neurology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pathology, Pediatrics Pediatric Surgery, Urology), as well as the Yale School of Nursing (Nurse-Midwifery) and the Yale School of Public Health.
Participants going to Uganda have found aspects of their experience to be challenging, particularly as they see the disparities in resources and their accompanying effects on health care delivery, yet their involvement in the MUYU collaboration secures a community of colleagues and mentors with whom to discuss ideas and to formulate steps forward.
Rooted in mutual respect and trust, this collaboration continues to share its vision to enhance clinical care through medical education and research. Since its inception, more than 400 faculty, residents and students have rotated at the MNRH(or one of its partner sites) through the MUYU Office. In addition, two nurses, one librarian and 28 faculty and physicians from MakCHS and MNRH have spent 4-12 months at Yale and its affiliated hospitals, focusing on specific specialties with emphasis on the management of chronic diseases. We, in collaboration with the Yale School of Medicine's Office of Global Health Education, have also hosted 39 senior medical students from MakCHS for a one month rotations at YSM.

Clinical Opportunities
Participants develop a keen eye for observation and couple it with enhanced skills in physical examination and patient history-taking. Other clinical sites are also available in Kampala for medical rotations, including private clinics, community hospitals, and home visits.
To supplement their clinical medicine training, participants are also offered a series of lectures and bedside teaching experiences to provide them with a more complex understanding of the unique aspects of providing care in this setting, along with the cultural, social and political landscape in which this training takes place. Presentations are given by faculty of the Department of Medicine on topics such as malaria, palliative care, diarrheal diseases, pre-hospital care, endomyocardial fibrosis, and HIV/tuberculosis. Classes in the local language of Luganda are also offered by the MUYU office so that participants can build both a medical and a more day-to-day vocabulary. Participants also augment their laboratory skills with sessions devoted to tropical medicine microscopy. A political scientist from Makerere University leads weekly discussions on such pertinent and diverse topics such as the political backdrop of Africa, with an emphasis on East Africa and Uganda, the role played by women in Uganda, the history of the medical profession and the role of traditional healing. A weekly feedback session with MUYU faculty and staff provides a platform for participants to discuss their experiences on the wards and progress on their individual projects.Cultural tours of Kampala and its environs include one of the world's seven Baha'i temples, the Namugongo Martyrs' Shrine and the site of the Kasubi tombs.
Ugandan faculty, residents and medical students who have taken part in the MUYU collaboration have similar opportunities. Junior faculty spend six to twelve months training in specialty areas at Yale and its affiliate hospitals, and return to Uganda to incorporate their knowledge into teaching and patient care. Often mentors from the United States travel to Uganda and continue to work with their Ugandan counterparts to assist in the establishment of new programs, such as breast cancer screening and advanced cardiac life support/advanced trauma life support training. Medical students enhance their clinical training by attending and taking part in morning reports, rounds and conferences. They learn not only to interpret investigative findings more readily, but they also learn about the health care system in the United States and the clinical findings common to its population. They also develop an increased awareness of the importance of patient ownership and advocacy.
The Uganda Initiative for Integrated Management of Non-Communicable Diseases (UINCD) is a research partnership that is working to find better ways to address chronic diseases. UINCD came together in 2013 as a group of doctors, researchers, and government officials representing the Uganda Ministry of Health, Makerere University College of Health Sciences, and Mulago National Referral Hospital, joined by colleagues from Yale School of Medicine. The mission is to build capacity in the realms of prevention, care, training, and research to enable the provision of effective and integrated care along the NCD management spectrum.

The Parikh lab focuses on translational studies of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, with particular attention to vulnerable populations (children, pregnant women, and those with HIV). Dr. Parikh has been collaborating with colleagues at Makerere University, MSF Epicentre (Mbarara), and the Infectious Diseases Research Collaboration since the early 2000's. Studies in Uganda have focused on optimizing current first-line drug regimens for the treatment of malaria with the ultimate goal of informing policy. Opportunities for pharmacokinetic, parasite dynamics, and host response sub-studies exist.

Weekly Wednesday Standout #16: Chip Kelly and Nick Saban – Disruption vs. Tradition
January 9, 2013 by Yu
Nick Saban won his third BCS National Championship in four years on Monday, leading Alabama to a dominant 42-14 victory over Notre Dame. This raised questions as to whether Saban is the greatest college coach of all time. Saban's team is built on traditional ideas of football. He has no gimmicks. The dominant defense sets the tone. Alabama wins by executing basic things better than any team in the country. Alabama is not only the best team in the country, but often the most individually talented, as they had four picks in the first round from last year's draft. Saban teams are difficult to gameplan against as the main key to beating his teams is to be better than his team. With five star recruits and classes regularly in the top 3, Saban's battles are already won long before the game is played. His style is not based on footballing trends of the moment – his style is based on his faster, stronger, more dynamic, more athletic, mentally tougher 11 out-executing its slower, weaker opponent.
Earlier in the day, Chip Kelly passed on NFL coaching offers and returned to his position as head coach of the Oregon Ducks. Chip Kelly's speed spread offense has been dissected, poeticized, and romanticized (the spread offense is the closest thing college football has to a disruptive technology – FCS champion Appalachian State upsetting then number 5 ranked Michigan showed how smaller schools could punch above their weight). It's influenced footballing elite from Jon Gruden to Bill Belichick, who implemented ideas into the Patriots high scoring team this season. His efficient way of running practices took on a life of its own. Kelly, with the mantra "win the day", is as close to a new age guru as it gets in football. This combined with Oregon's jerseys and relationship with Nike created a cool all its own. If Saban's ideas are derived from the fixed tradition of Coke, Kelly is Apple. And on Monday, he returned to University of Oregon for another season.
Saban and Kelly are similar in their meticulous game planning, manic singular attention to football, and their control of every facet of their operation. Saban, in the football rich South, has his pick of top recruits. His teams are built with power and athleticism on both lines. Kelly, in the Northwest corner of the country, uses Oregon's brand to appeal to speed and athleticism. He rarely has a top class, and one of his NFL ready talents was getting the most out of each player. The forever question, in business as in sport, is one of sustainability. Can Kelly's innovations unlock a key in Saban's recruiting? Or is better just…better? Saban made it clear he doesn't aspire to Kelly's approach.With Alabama and Oregon early Vegas favorites to make the BCS title in 2014, this is the social media age played out on the field.

Clara Barton Autograph Letter Signed
Make an Offer Today and Get a Quick Response! Take a Look at This Week's Specials! CLARA BARTON - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED - HFSID 175775. ABOUT THE PRINTING OF A RED CROSS BOOK CLARA BARTON. Autograph Letter Signed: C B.
The little book is here and very pretty - but I miss the wide margins. I know the printer will say the addition of two other leaves, and a little larger print as we spoke of will increase the cost etc etc.
I know that; but if it is worth doing in the first place, it is worth paying for in the last. The dignity of the book is [illegible] by the effort to save space and cost. You know we spoke of the print of the little Red Cross book for type, with leaves like that, and wide margins and expected it would take four pages. Please hold, until we see if that, or something like it cannot be done. We go to Ida's to eat Turkey this afternoon. " Postscript : " all is right, but the too crowded matter surely cares. On verso of this page, Barton adds: As I look at it again I do not see as really there need be more leaves added.
There are two or rather three spare pages as it is. Could not be page of Officers be pushed on, to the last, or next to the last page - and this gives four, instead of the pages of the greetings, and then have just double the space for print and margins. There are really three blank pages as it is. Is it more [illegible] to utilize what we have - are 4 blank pages is required for appearance - them add two leaves.
Please, Assistant dear help me think - we want it elegant. WELLS was Barton's assistant at the National First Aid Association of America. On May 14, 1904, CLARA BARTON resigned as President of the American National Red Cross, in wake of mounting criticism of her management style, ability and age (82). In April, 1905, she established the National First Aid Association of America and served as honorary president for five years.
It was based on an unsuccessful first aid program Barton had initiated within the Red Cross. The new organization emphasized basic first aid instruction and emergency preparedness and developed the first aid kit now used at homes and in schools and businesses. Ambulance brigades were formed in conjunction with police and fire departments, as well as in industrial settings. Though the organization didn't grow as she had hoped, her goal was achieved: first aid training was incorporated as one of the essential functions of the American Red Cross.

Q: PowerShell keeps printing "doskey ..." I started working on my old computer again (hadn't touched it in two years) and while using PowerShell in Windows I noticed that it kept printing 'doskey make=mingw32-make.exe' every now and then. I remember I had some issues back then with make, so this might have been something I accidentally did. I would like to remove it, but I can't seem to get it right.
Example of the problem when booting Visual Studio Code:

Q: How can I ignore time or time zones on a date object when comparing it in a .where? I need a document to be returned on a .where("date" == selectedDate) for the same day it was selected by the user independently of timezones.
Currently I store this date attribute with the hour, minute and seconds set to 0 (startOfDay using date-fns). If I'm on the same timezone, all docs created with a particular date will match the selectedDate just fine. However, if I change the timezone, the "startOfDay" of the date create in a timezone will not match the selectedDate of another timezone.
How can I ignore time so I can match the date with selectedDate?
I've done .where(date >= startOfSelectedDate).where(date <= endOfSelectedDate) and it does return documents from all timezones if the same day (apparently), but it ignores some cases where the dates (after converted) would be different in different timezones, like a doc created in New Zealand seen in Brazil, for example, Brazil would be a day behind.
For this particular doc all I care is that the date is consistent across timezones - think of it as an agenda - if I write a note on March 19th, doesn't matter where in the world I am, it will always be written on page March 19th.

A: Timestamp and Date objects don't have any notion of timezone, and neither does Firestore.  The JS API docs for Timestamp read:

A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or calendar, represented as seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution in UTC Epoch time.

The SDK will not help you in any way deal with the issues surrounding timezone.  That's something you will need to handle in your own code.  Your code will have to detect the timezone to work with, then do some date math to convert everything to UTC, which is what Firestore (and pretty much all systems) use to represent a point in time.  Once you've converted your timezone-dependent times into UTC, you can use those to query.

La evacuación de  los alrededores del volcán Ubinas en 2019 inició a finales de junio de ese año ante el incremento de las erupciones del mencionado volcán, uno de los más activos del arco volcánico al sur del Perú. El epicentro del suceso se desarrolla en el distrito homónimo dentro de la provincia de General Sánchez Cerro en el noroeste del departamento de Moquegua.

El 13 de abril, el Instituto Geofísico del Perú, por medio del satélite PerúSAT-1, identificó a poblaciones que se encontraban vulnerables ante un posible incremento de las erupciones volcánicas. El 22 de julio, el gobierno peruano dispuso el traslado de 1000 personas que habitan alrededor del volcán a sitios fuera de peligro. Mientras tanto los ministerios de Agricultura y Riego (MINAGRI) y Salud (MINSA) iniciaron un registro de daños que las cenizas volcánicas provocan en la ganadería, agricultura y los pobladores.

La expansión de las cenizas llegó al resto de Moquegua, también a los departamentos de Arequipa, Tacna y Puno, así como al occidente de Bolivia y el norte de Argentina.

Evacuación
Ubinas es un volcán que baja e inicia sus erupciones en tiempos relativos, el volcán volvió a ser activo el 25 de junio de 2019 a las 7:10 horas con la aparición de fumarolas de 400 metros de altura. En lo que respecta a la nueva erupción, el pueblo de Ubinas, el más cercano al volcán, fue cubierto completamente por el volcán. Los pobladores de Ubinas y otros pueblos cercanos presentaron obstrucción de vías respiratorias y problemas oculares, el nivel de afectados, según el diario El Comercio, puede llegar a  en todo el sur peruano. El municipio de Ubinas entregó lentes y mascarillas a los afectados.

El presidente de la República Martín Vizcarra afirmó lo siguiente:

Mientras tanto, el gobierno mediante el Decreto Supremo N° 129-2019-PCM, declaró en emergencia los distritos de Conduriri, Santa Rosa, Capazo, Acora, Pichacani, San Antonio, Tiquillaca, Mañazo y Cabana esparcidos en las provincias de Puno, San Román, El Collao y Chucuito, todos en el departamento de Puno.

En el departamento de Arequipa, el distrito de San Juan de Tarucani, por medio del Decreto Supremo N° 129-2019-PCM, también fue declarado en estado de emergencia.

El 26 de junio de 2019 se inició la evacuación oficial por parte del ejército peruano, se trasladó un primer grupo al poblado de Anascapa, según Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia Nacional son 1.120 personas los que serán trasladados.

Situación en otros países
El gobierno provincial de la provincia del General José Manuel Pando, en Bolivia, declaró que 2000 personas se encuentran afectadas por las cenizas llegadas desde el lado peruano, además de , como consecuencia las clases fueron cesadas y se recomendó a la población mantenerse dentro de sus hogares. Hasta el momento las localidades de Santiago de Machaca y Catacora son las más afectadas.

El 25 de julio de 2019 el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de Argentina informó que cenizas del volcán Ubinas llegaron a la provincia de Salta, en el norte argentino.

In a massive program like Social Security, sometimes people get overpayments ranging from a few bucks to a few thousand bucks. It used to be that if whatever government entity overpaid a family didn't catch up with them and recoup the money, the statute of limitations on the debt would run out after ten years. A teeny section of the 2008 farm bill changed that, and now the government is snatching up taxpayers' refunds to cover their dead parents' decades-old debts.
What it means to ordinary citizens is "if you've ever received money from the government that you weren't supposed to, we'll catch up with you, and we can take your tax refund." The Washington Post looked into this phenomenon and profiled people who have had their refunds taken: of course, since it's Washington, D.C., many of the people profiled are government employees. That adds an extra level of irony.
The Treasury department reports that it has recovered $424 million in "offsets" owed to various parts of the federal government. While keeping the Social Security trust fund running is important and all, pursuing taxpayers for their long-dead parents' Social Security payments looks very bad.
Take one person profiled by the Post: his father died 45 years ago, and his mother received Social Security survivors' benefits. She died 12 years later. Now, 33 years after her death, the government finally caught up with her son to take his tax refund. Some taxpayers appeal, but only about 10% of them are successful.

Durango's Amy Leonard rides her horse Bongo to equestrian gold
Professional College High School Youth Outdoors Living Sports
Team title opens doors for higher level of riding

Durango's Amy Leonard is rising through the ranks of equestrian riding.
Last month at the United States Hunter and Jumper Association's Zone 7 and 8 championships in Parker, Leonard and her horse, Bongo, an Argentinian warmblood, came home with a gold medal in the jumper team competition.
"I think that over the course of the two days I got better each day," Leonard said. "I had to make some changes with my coach, Pie Lafferty, who's from Pagosa Springs. The changes we made worked well and my horse and I kept improving."
Jumper competitions, also known as show jumping, are scored on time. A typical course consists of 12 to 16 jumps, and the objective is to complete the course as quickly as possible without incurring any faults – mistakes such as knocking down a rail during a jump or finishing the course slower than the allotted time. The horse with the fastest time and fewest number of faults wins.
Zone 7 is made up of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, while Zone 8 consists of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. There were 13 riders competing in the competition.
From left: Kiley McCullough, Alyson Ranucci, Sydney Stephenson and Amy Leonard won the team jumper title at the USHJA Zone 7 and 8 championships in Parker. All four members of their team won their sections.
Leonard was joined on her team by Kiley McCullough of San Tan Valley, Arizona, Alyson Ranucci from Centennial and Sydney Stephenson of Youngsville, Louisiana. Each member of the team competed in a different section during the championships, and all four members of the team won their sections.
Leonard competed in Section B and completed the course in 91.928 seconds with six faults.
Everyone competing at the zone championships had already proved they belonged after going through qualifying. Knowing everyone and their horses could perform at a high level, Leonard knew there was a chance her team could win. Although there were a lot of unknowns with the team.
"I wasn't sure how it would go because I had never met any of the girls on my team before," the 18-year-old said. "... I'm sure we have crossed paths at competitions before, but we had never actually met."
To qualify for the zone championships, riders must accumulate enough points at United States Equestrian Federation competitions during the season.
Riders train year round for the sanctioned event and can enter as many competitions as they like to earn enough points. Leonard, however, only needed one competition. She traveled to Tucson, Arizona, in October for a show, where she earned all the qualifying points for the zone championships.

The team win at the zone championships does not qualify Leonard and the other three girls from her team a spot at nationals, as riders have to compete as individuals to earn a spot at nationals. But it does open doors for gold star clinics – high level camps that are taught by some of the top riders in the nation. Leonard said that with the team win she is now eligible to apply for a gold star clinic.
Leonard began riding and competing when she was 4 years old. She trains for a few hours five days a week. Two of those training days are spent with Lafferty, while the other three days she works on the drills Lafferty assigns. Fortunately for Leonard, she doesn't have to travel far to get her training in, as her family has an arena at their home and she only needs to walk into her backyard to practice.
Leonard graduated from Southwest Colorado eSchool in Durango this fall and will take online classes through Southern New Hampshire University while she continues competing with Bongo and the two try to reach higher and higher levels.
"My ultimate goal with jumpers is to perfect the basics," Leonard said. "... We'll see where it goes from there."

The training mainly aimed to raise awareness of the participants about the above-mentioned Convention, to introduce the main areas of interest of the International Fund for Cultural Diversity and to teach participants how to develop the subsequent periodic quadrennial reports in the framework of the 2005 UNESCO Convention guidelines.
During the training, the participants were offered to watch a various video-materials with the examples of the development models of creative industries around the world, the best practices of combining business and cultural sectors, as well as on the integration of new information and computer technologies in the creation of creative goods and services, on the use of virtual and augmented reality to create masterpieces of modern digitalized art.
The training raised many topics that were new for the participants, therefore the explanation of those topics resulted in interesting discussions. One of these themes is the combination (symbiosis) of classics and fashion trends, the use of the special effects in order to attract the attention of young people to classical music. The intense debates about the benefits and disadvantages of such innovations was a direct indicator that the participants were keen to learn about the diversity and freedom of cultural expressions, which is the main objective of the 2005 UNESCO Convention.
Participants of the training represented multiple stakeholders of the 2005 Convention that are involved in the process of creation and development of creative industries – from the representatives of Ministries of culture and other governmental agencies, radio, TV and broadcasting, correspondents and mass communication media to the representatives of the Unions of cinematographers, composers, artists, staff of the museums, galleries, cultural centers and NGOs of Central Asia.
The training was facilitated by Ms. Lidia Varbanova (Bulgaria), expert in the field of cultural policies and creative industries and international UNESCO Consultant that has more than 20 years of professional experience in facilitating such trainings on UNESCO 2005 Convention.

Carte blanche for Émile Parisien
Le bouquet final
Sunday 31st March
Cité du Vin, Bordeaux
31st March was the closing evening of this edition of Hear Palmer… It was the Auditorium of the Cité du Vin that hosted Émile Parisien, the patron of the edition. This time he assembled an original, explosive combination of talent, surrounding himself with Jeff Ballard and Henri Texier, with whom he performed on stage for the very first time. They were joined by the guitarist Manu Codjia over the course of this singular evening, during which the artists were invited to improvise together, mixing their style and creativity, ensuring that the final notes of this special edition resounded with surprises one more time.
Already an iconic Bordeaux landmark, the Cité du Vin contributed to the promotion of the Bordeaux wine region and the sharing of its culture. A beautiful stage on which to conclude this 10th edition of Hear Palmer.
A few words about the artists…
Henri Texier, Parisian by birth, started teaching himself the double bass in his teens, and quickly became a highly adept jazz performer. An impassioned musician, it was thanks to a invitation from drummer Daniel Humair that Texier was able to immerse himself in the clubs of Paris, where he would rub shoulders with a whole generation of distinguished improvisers. Around the age of 20 he started to travel the world, notably with Phil Woods, who hired him to play in his European Rhythm Machine, a band with which Texier would perform at the Newport Jazz Festival (United States). After that, Texier entered a period of eclecticism and experimentation, during which he began exploring new musical horizons, eventually creating, among other groups, the folk-rock band Total Issue. In 1975, he recorded the first of his solo albums. Several fortunate encounters later, he created the Transatlantik Quartet along with Jacques Mahieu on drums and Louis Sclavis on clarinet. Soon followed the Azur Quartet, the Sonjal Septet, as well as his trio Romano-Sclavis-Texier. He is one of those rare musician-composers with a lifetime of experience in jazz and a unique artistic sensibility. It's what enables him to federate creative energies, and to avoid ever becoming prisoner of a single artistic universe. Throughout his distinguished, international career, he's often felt the desire to immerse himself in other artistic worlds such as theatre, television or even pyrotechnics.
"Henri Texier has always succeeded in marrying the newest sounds to the most popular ones. Henri Texier does not follow the trends and fashions of his time: he is one of those who creates them."
Francis Marmande – Le Monde
Jeff Ballard
Jeff Ballard, born in California, discovered jazz thanks to his father, and the drums while in high school. He absorbed numerous influences during his young years, from Brazilian drums and Reggae to Afrocuban music, but would develop a particular sensitivity for jazz. His talent didn't go unnoticed, and soon a unique opportunity was presented to him: in 1980 he was recruited by the man who became his mentor, Ray Charles, with whom he would travel the globe for nearly three years. Jeff was starting to make a name for himself by 1990, alongside musicians like the saxophonist Mark Turner or the bassist Avishai Cohen. After a series of collaborations, notably with Bobby Hutcherson, Lou Donaldson, and Danilo Perez, he partnered up with a young talent named Chick Corea in 1999. He is today the co-leader of the trio Fly, accompanied by the saxophonist Mark Turner and Larry Grenadier on bass, undoubtedly the most singular and exciting of many musical projects he's taken part in over the last 10 years. Still very active in the music scene, he released an album on 25 January 2019, Fairgrounds. Jeff Ballard is a fabulous drummer, blessed with exceptional technique and extreme agility, making him one of the most captivating and inventive players today.
Manu Codjia
Manu Codjia, born in 1975 in Chaumont, France, was introduced to music by his grandmother. At an early age he enrolled in the school of music in Chaumont where he discovered jazz. As a young man, he was admitted to the Conservatoire de Paris where he would blossom under such professors as François Jeanneau, Daniel Humair and François Théberge. He was awarded first prize at the conclusion of his studies and would quickly be invited to collaborate with numerous musicians, including Erik Truffaz and Henri Texier. His first album, Songlines, released by the label Bee Jazz, featured his own compositions and included Daniel Humair and François Moutin. The album would earn him the Django d'Or jazz award for new talent in 2007, and a nomination at the Victoires du Jazz competition. Today, he plays alongside Émile Parisien in Sfumato and File Under Zawinul, as well as in Géraldine Laurent's trio Looking for Parker. He also founded an ongoing trio with Jérôme Regard and Philippe Garcia with whom he recorded his second album Manu Codjia, followed by his third in 2010, COVERS dedicated to reinterpreting pop songs (Bob Marley, Michael Jackson). Manu Codjia has a unique talent for listening to his fellow players and adapting to their style, which is just part of what makes him such an outstanding musician and guitarist.

Wolf Mountains: A History of Wolves Along the Great Divide

Situating the wolf in the history of Canadian national parks, Karen Jones considers changing ideas of nature and wilderness and competing visions of the North American West. Wolf Mountains: A History of Wolves along the Great Divide is essentially a work of environmental history, treating the land as an actor in the historical process. This controversial study examines the tumultuous relationship between humans and wolves in four Rocky Mountain parks. By comparing the distinctive lupine histories of specific national parks with anecdotes and narratives of wolves from Aboriginals and early Europeans from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, important shifts in attitude and policy are clearly shown. Drawing on published scholarly research, archived newspapers, records from environmental groups, U.S. and Canadian park records, first-hand accounts from explorers and trappers, and scientific interviews with park staff and biologists, this book contributes enormously to our understanding of the relationship between wolves and humans.

Monster Invasion

Nearly 10 years ago a bright company start-up called Mind Candy attracted a $10 million investment for a complex and highly original treasure hunt game, Perplex City. With clues placed online and in real life, the game was absorbing but expensive and, in the end, not very commercial. Having worked through all but $1 million of the initial investment, Mind Candy's CEO Michael Acton Smith went back to his investors and told them he had one last idea: an online game for children that combined puzzles and monsters.
It must have been an interesting board meeting.
The result was Moshi Monsters, born by the skin of its teeth but getting ready to celebrate 50 million users just four years later.
To put things in perspective, half of all children in the U.K. ages 6-12 have a Moshi Monster. (More than half of all children in Australia have one.) In the U.S., one in five children has a Moshi monster, and that's before Mind Candy has started its assault on the U.S. market, which it commences in earnest at Licensing International Expo this month.
The Moshi Monsters site was built in 2007, went live in 2008 and grew steadily to a tipping point in 2009.
Acton Smith says the "penny drop" moment was realizing that children like to talk and show off online as much as adults do. Marrying the monsters and games with social networking has been its winning streak–you can talk, share and message your friends within the site, making this very much a Facebook for children.
Like all the best ideas, Moshi Monsters is based on a simple concept: adopt a monster, give it a name and color scheme and then complete puzzles and quests in order to earn "Rox," the online currency, to use in online shops and exchange for belongings and accessories to keep your monster happy and healthy. The more the user plays, the more developed the monster's personality becomes. Users can also attract pets, or "Moshlings," that are popular, numerous and therefore highly collectible. Moshi Monsters is free to play, but subscription gets the user deeper into the site–a vital source of income for the brand.
Since January, Moshi has existed in the real world too. Appetite for Moshi Monsters products led to the launch of trading cards and other items in 2010, collected into Moshi "goodie bags" for the retailer Toys 'R' Us in the U.K. Books from Penguin and a Vivid Imaginations toy line followed, together with a self-published magazine written at Mindy Candy headquarters. The queue of licensees wanting to do deals shows no signs of abating, and products will continue to roll out in the U.K. through 2011 and 2012.
As you'd expect from a high-energy launch into a hungry market, product has been selling fast. Top of mind at Mind Candy is the challenge of managing growth to build and sustain the brand. The international roll out is under way: the agency Fusion has been appointed and the licensing structure is already in good shape for Australia. A head of licensing has been appointed in the U.S., which is the market the company has its sights firmly set on for 2011 and 2012.
It's not just the move from cyberspace to brick and mortar retail that is unusual about the Moshi Monsters brand (there are not very many others that have made this leap successfully). The Moshi business model also puts everything on its head. There are no lead times, no focus groups, no rounds of investment for programming. Children tune in to Moshi whenever they like. And the Moshi team knows minute-by-minute what its audience is doing, how its profile is changing and what it likes and doesn't like.
The creative team, based in an old tea warehouse in London's Shoreditch, can react to this immediately by creating or adjusting content. They can also market products directly to members.
Moshi Monsters is an utterly fluid and responsive beast, well supported financially by member subscriptions in what Acton Smith calls, "a very simple business model." So why bother extending the brand via licensing which is complex and slow in comparison?
"Because I have learned a lot about kids doing this and I know that they don't want to experience Moshi just in one medium," says Acton Smith. "When we started licensing, I thought it was a great way to drive traffic back to the site. Now I realize what a big business it can be."
Mind Candy expects to sell $100 million of licensed products this year in the U.K.
"Our development is more aligned with Facebook and other tech start ups; we're very agile, very quick," he says.
But he also admits that the "real" world is different from the world of Moshi. Some licensees are still trying to understand the brand and there are challenges. Manufacturers need to plan at least a year ahead, for example, but Moshi has no idea what its content might be by then. However, the advantages of working with Moshi are winning over partners easily.
"We control the property, we have a fast turnaround for partners and those partners are often staggered by what we invest in supporting the brand," says Acton Smith.
Acton Smith believes that Moshi Monsters is the first property for a digital generation of kids that is revolutionary in the same way that Disney, Jim Henson and Pixar have been–by irrevocably altering the entertainment landscape.
Not surprisingly, Acton Smith is often asked if Moshi is just a flash in the pan. But he's thought all that through. The stability of the revenue model (member subscriptions) is one reassurance. Mind Candy has also built stories and narrative into the site via its Moshi Missions.
Then there is Moshi TV, launching "sometime this year." With 36 million users and 7 million unique visitors, Moshi already sounds like a TV channel. Moshi TV will be a mixture of Moshi content, kids' own creations and content from third party producers. Viewers will post likes, dislikes and comments to the Moshi news feeds. Moshi TV will also exist on the open web and Acton Smith was at MIPTV talking to other distribution partners. While he admits that he is new to the world of TV, he says: "It feels like traditional kids' broadcast is broken."
There have been some scary moments in the Moshi journey. In 2008, funding ran low and Acton Smith says he faced the very real prospect of the business folding. A savior came in the form of a hedge fund manager whose children loved the site. With his injection, the site limped into 2009, subscriptions started to rise and soon after it was profitable.
The monster-scale challenge faced by the small but passionate team in London's East End is to bring a fresh and exciting online phenomenon kicking and screaming into the relatively cumbersome real world of retail across the globe. Acton Smith admits to having a childlike mind and, since childhood, he has been gripped by games and puzzles. Kit William's famous treasure hunt book Masquerade was an important early inspiration. And there is certainly something Willy Wonka-esque about this particular entrepreneur.
"Years ago, when it became clear that gaming online would become mainstream, I knew that magical things would happen. The joy of the web is that you can keep tweaking to get things right," he says. "You can spot trends but you still have to get the product absolutely right."
This year's Licensing International Expo (June 14-16 in Las Vegas) will be Moshi Monsters' "coming out" party and the end of many months of preparation, planning and learning how best to capture the U.S. opportunity. By opening day of the show, the U.S. consumer products team will be in place; there will be roughly 50 million children with their own Moshi Monster, 17.5 million of which live in the U.S.; and Spin Master and Scholastic will be on board as U.S. partners, announcing the first U.S. retail deal for Moshi product.
The message from Mind Candy will be loud and clear: "We're here."

Search For "brics economic plan"
Chinese President Jinping announces $76 million for BRICS economic
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Xiamen [China], September 4 (ANI): Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday announced $76 million for a BRICS economic and technology cooperation plan and another $4 million to support the projects of the bloc's New Development Bank at the BRICS summit in Xiamen, China.


Huffing gasoline, which is considered one of the most abused household substances, can produce a few hallucinatory and a range of hazardous effects on the individual's mind and body.
Inhalant abuse is a widespread phenomenon, not just in the United States, but across the world. It predominantly involves inhaling or huffing the chemical vapors coming from a range of substances via the nose and trachea. Surprisingly though, a wide range of these substances are household products, such as gasoline, spot remover, cleaning fluid, etc.
It may come as a surprise for many, but the practice of huffing gasoline vapors is one of the most widespread forms of inhalant abuse in the United States. The fact that gasoline is readily available at home has resulted in a significant rise in the abuse of this substance, especially by adolescents and teenagers. Add to it the fact that it is very difficult to detect the abuse of substances such as gasoline and things just get worse.
So, how exactly does inhaling these volatile vapors, coming from gasoline, effect the individual's mind or body? Most of the individuals who resort to drug abuse believe that it takes them into a state of trance. Gasoline vapors are believed to do the same thing, but the intensity differs from that of the other components of substance abuse. Along with other aromatics, gasoline also contains various benzene compounds. When inhaled through the nose, down the trachea, the vapors coming from gasoline tend to trigger a hallucinogenic effect on the individual's mind.
In other words, huffing this substance triggers a series of hallucinations and makes the person see or hear something which doesn't exist. Individuals who resort to gasoline abuse tend to experience a subconscious state, wherein they are dreaming, while being fully or partially aware of their surroundings. This may sound very much like being awake and dreaming, which is what it actually is. However, this euphoric effect has a short duration and the effect of gasoline vapors starts depleting as oxygen is pumped into the body. The bad part of this experience is that the short term euphoric effect makes people resort to this substance again and again, thus making them vulnerable to its dangers.
Substance abuse in any form is dangerous for the health; gasoline abuse is no exception. While hallucinations and delusions are the major side effects of sniffing gasoline, the user is also bound to experience common side effects of inhalants, such as dizziness, aggressiveness, and impaired judgment. In adolescents and teens, long-term effects of huffing gasoline include serious medical conditions such as peripheral neuropathies and bone marrow damage.
There have been several instances of inhalants abuse resulting in death. In most of these cases, suffocation triggered by excessive use of the substance is the underlying factor. Though this is relatively rare, the chances of such a tragedy cannot be ruled out. Additionally, there is the threat of 'sudden sniffing death', wherein sniffing or huffing volatile vapors coming from any substance, can result in a sudden adrenaline rush and trigger cardiac arrhythmia, eventually resulting in death.
As we mentioned earlier, any form of substance abuse is injurious to the health and therefore, is best avoided. If the aforementioned dangers of huffing gasoline vapors seem rare, it's only because most of the cases of gasoline and other such solvents abuse go unreported. This is one of the major problems when it comes to drug abuse prevention. As the effects of gasoline vapors are short lived, it's difficult to detect whether someone from your own household is doing it behind you. As adolescents and teens form a major share of people who resort to such practices, the onus is on the parents to ensure that they monitor their children and, more importantly, keep such substances out of their reach.

Since getting organized is my main goal, I am always on a look out for better organization tips and this does not only pertain to how I arranged my personal stuff at home and my work space but is it also on how I organize my daily, weekly and monthly tasks. Good thing that there are lots of useful things that we can scout online to make things possible.
Just came across this pretty and cool printables which includes a calendar, weely and monthly planner as well as as a shopping list. I think this is a good way to keep us organized.
You can download this for free. Just visit this site.
So let's all start getting organized!
Wow, thank you for sharing! This will be a great help for me.
