If you've already seen a couple of Flexispy reviews, you probably know that it's one of the apps that allow you to monitor mobile phones. Flexispy software runs in the background undetected and lets you perform a whole range of functions, from GPS location tracking to call interception, and from multimedia monitoring to SMS tracking. One of the best things about Flexispy software is that it's fully compatible with any device and mobile operating system which gives you a wide variety of monitoring opportunities.
The mobile phone monitoring market is huge, and Flexispy is just one of the apps the market has to offer. But is it a worthy investment of your time and money? That is a question many Flexispy reviews have tried to answer in the past, and today we will finally reach a conclusion. The first thing that needs to be said about the Flexispy app is that it's one of the longest running examples of monitoring software and has been around since before most spying apps were released. The downside of this is the fact that while younger apps have evolved greatly in an attempt to win over the customers, the tools and features offered by Flexispy.com have largely remained the same.
Another thing that every potential Flexispy software customer needs to know is that this software is not for those who are shopping on a budget. Sure, you get high value software for your money, but if you're looking for an affordable alternative to the best known apps on the market, Flexispy is probably not your first choice.
Given the exceptional quality of Flexispy software, it may seem surprising that we're not finding the app to be ideal. However, there is one important disadvantage in the way Flexispy are running their business, and that disadvantage is their approach to privacy. While many other companies attempt to teach their customers an ethical approach to privacy, Flexispy seems to encourage breaches of privacy, which can be clearly seen in their advertisements on their flexispy.com website. We don't agree with this dismissive attitude towards privacy, as well as attempts to violate other people's security, which is why we felt like we needed to point it out in our Flexispy software review.
SMS tracking: read incoming and outgoing text messages, as well as emails on targeted device.
Call interception: now you can not only listen to, but also record phone calls in a live mode using the phone calls recording feature.
GPS tracking: find out the exact location of the targeted phone at any given moment.
App monitoring: track the activity in any of the popular messaging apps, including Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM, Skype, WeChat, etc.
Record phone surroundings: listen and save anything happening around the device.
Compatibility: use flexispy.com on any mobile device, including cell phones and tablets, both based on Android and iOS.
worried moms and dads can now feel a bit calmer as the app provides plenty of tools for monitoring and tracking multiple activities kids may lead on their gadgets. The app spies after most existing messengers, provides device GPS tracking and keywords alerts, and offers many more useful options and tools, including a very ergonomic and user-friendly dashboard. Yet the spy app lacks such useful features as websites or software blocking.
for managing hidden monitoring of employees' activities the app is an optimal choice , as it runs on the diversity of gadgets and covers practically all necessary info interception tools. The only potential drawback is that listening to phone calls in live mode is included only in the Extreme monitoring purchase package that costs a bit higher.
Any Flexispy reviews for iPhone Android cannot be complete without a mention of how good or poor an app's customer service is, since cell phone monitoring software is still fairly new to users and it's inevitable that they will have lots of questions about working process. Many customers complain about the quality of customer support in other monitoring apps, but, luckily, that's not the case with Flexispy, as their customer service is truly outstanding. As a Flexispy user, you get the necessary help such as installing Flexispy, customization from the comprehensive and knowledgeable support staff anytime you need.
You can reach out to the customer support in any way you find convenient, including live chat, phone, and email. The support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Alternatively, you can check the most popular user questions in the FAQ section – the solution to your request may be already there, as currently there are over 100 question answered in this section.
We've also liked the company's refund policy that allows you to get an unconditional refund in case the app doesn't meet your expectation. However, we find this approach to refunds to have a downside: while it's great for customers and is a proof of the company's honesty, it's also a way for untrustworthy users to take advantage of the app by using it for some time and then asking for their money back.
Like any Flexispy reviews for iPhone and Android, we'll finish this one with a bottom line: Flexispy is truly one of the most advanced examples of monitoring software available in the market today, despite its price tag. Note that if you're not looking for the largest selection of features and will be perfectly happy with the most basic ones, you can find a much cheaper alternative. However, if you want to get the best possible experience with using Flexispy features, and make sure the mobile device you plan to monitor is fully compatible with the software.

La scivolosa scarpata (The Slippery Slope) è il decimo libro della serie di libri per ragazzi, Una serie di sfortunati eventi, scritta da Lemony Snicket.

Trama
All'inizio del libro ritroviamo Violet e Klaus Baudelaire che, all'interno di un caravan, stanno precipitando dal Monte Manomorta, mentre Sunny è nelle grinfie del Conte Olaf e dei suoi compari.

Violet, nonostante abbia poco tempo per pensare e si trovi con il fratello in estremo pericolo, riesce a creare dei freni per il caravan. Grazie ai freni la roulotte si ferma, così gli orfani, scesi dal mezzo portano con loro tutto ciò che possono trasportare: maglioni pesanti, cibo ed altri oggetti utili. Poco dopo però i ragazzi si accorgono che i freni in realtà non funzionano a dovere ed il caravan cade in un dirupo.

Iniziano così la marcia verso la cima del monte, dove il Conte Olaf tiene prigioniera Sunny e dove si trova la base dei V.F.. Il viaggio però risulta lungo e difficoltoso, il tempo pessimo ed inoltre Klaus e Violet sono costretti a difendersi da feroci pappataci delle nevi, una sorta di api velenose. Intanto Sunny è costretta dal Conte a vivere al gelo, a dormire in una cassetta per la frutta ed a preparare i pranzi per tutta la troupe di Olaf.

Affaticati gli orfani vedono una grotta e decidono di ripararsi al suo interno: qui incontrano un gruppo di Scout delle nevi, che non li riconoscono per i "pericolosi assassini Baudelaire" e li accettano come nuovi scout. Tutti gli scout hanno il viso coperto da una maschera bianca, cantano stupide canzoni prive di senso ed hanno intenzione di scalare il monte per "eleggere" il loro nuovo capo. Nonostante le maschere (che i Baudelaire si affrettano ad indossare per nascondere la loro identità) gli orfani riconoscono una loro vecchia (e sgradita) conoscenza, Carmelita Ghette (L'atroce accademia) e scoprono che non vi sarà nessuna elezione poiché Carmelita si autoelegge reginetta ogni anno.

Incontrano inoltre un nuovo amico che conosce l'esistenza dei V.F. e che li aiuta a raggiungere in fretta la cima del monte tramite un passaggio segreto (in disuso) creato dai membri del V.F. stesso.

Giunti quasi alla sommità della montagna scoprono che la loro nuova conoscenza altri non è che Quigley Pantano, creduto dai fratelli Isadora e Duncan morto in un incendio che ha coinvolto la loro famiglia. I fratelli Baudelaire sono molto contenti nel conoscere Quigley (soprattutto Violet), ma comprendono con tristezza che il sopravvissuto all'incendio a cui si accennava nella Pratica Snicket (L'ostile ospedale) altri non è che lui. Scoprono inoltre che la base dei V.F. è andata distrutta da un incendio provocato da due complici di Olaf, la Donna con i capelli ma senza la barba e l'Uomo con la barba ma senza capelli: dell'edificio sono rimaste solo le ceneri, un frigorifero ed un arco in pietra con la scritta "Il mondo qui è quieto".

Indagando tra le macerie ritrovano anche dei documenti bruciacchiati e Klaus capisce che i membri dei V.F., prima di fuggire hanno lasciato un messaggio cifrato con un codice chiamato Verbale Frigorifero: infatti gli oggetti ritrovati nel frigo sono parte del messaggio, che rivela il luogo dove è situata l'ultima base sicura dei V.F., ossia l'Hotel Climax.

Intanto il Conte parla con la donna senza la barba e l'uomo senza i capelli, che forniscono ad Olaf la Pratica Snicket (tranne l'ultima pagina che è in possesso dei Baudelaire). L'uomo da ad Esmé Squalor una sigaretta verde trovata nella base senza sapere che in realtà è un oggetto usato dai V.F. per i segnali di fumo. Esmé l'accetta, non le piace, ma trova il fumare molto in. Sunny decide di usare una "sigaretta" per cucinare del salmone affumicato, ma così facendo crea un pennacchio verde di fumo che viene avvistato dai fratelli.

Mentre Klaus decifra il codice, Violet e Quigley, avendo visto i segnali di Sunny provenienti dalla punta della montagna, vi si dirigono grazie a delle scarpe speciali create da Violet. Incontrano la ragazzina, ma si nascondono per non essere scoperti dal Conte e dai suoi complici. Violet vuole salvare subito Sunny, ma la sorellina non vuole poiché può restare per spiare il Conte Olaf ed inoltre non possono scendere dal monte a piedi. Violet e Quigley, tornati ai resti della base, preparano allora un piano con Klaus per rapire Esmé e barattare la restituzione di Sunny. Fanno una buca e vi bruciano una "sigaretta", così Esmè attirata dal segnale e trovando le sigarette molto "in" raggiunge la base. Violet, Klaus e Quigley però non hanno né il coraggio, né la cattiveria di rapire la donna e, considerando il rapimento un atto cattivo quanto quelli compiuti da Olaf, decidono di fingersi membri dei V.F. e di accompagnare Esmé da Olaf.

Giungono sulla cima contemporaneamente all'arrivo degli scout delle nevi che vengono intrappolati da Olaf con una rete, tranne Carmelita che decide di unirsi alla troupe diventando figlia adottiva del conte. Olaf intende infatti usare gli scout come schiavi e rubare i loro patrimoni così come quello dei Baudelaire. I Baudelaire e Quigley si tolgono le maschere per cercare di avvertire gli scout del pericolo, ma non vengono creduti e non fanno in tempo a salvarli. Olaf riconosce dunque gli orfani e li insegue, ma questi fuggono e tentano di raggiungere la valle. A questo punto la montagna frana ed il fiume straripa trasportando i Baudelaire lontani da Quingley.

Following on from Blitz on Kent, all aspects of life during the Second World War were experienced during in this embattled county. From the onset of the war Kent became a key part in the front line defence of Britain. Defences were built, and the Home Guard formed. With the threat of invasion receding, the county took part in the great offensive against Nazi Germany. Preparations and training took place that lead to the D-Day invasion in June 1944 and ultimate victory in 1945.


There's no way of getting around it: every year, the Oscars are guaranteed to be a monstrously long 4-hour affair (and that's not even counting the red carpet coverage). Most of us only care about the biggest awards, and yet have to wade through painful opening segments by the host, cheesy musical performances, endless montages and tributes, and awards for categories like sound mixing and "short form animated feature". And yet, many of us watch anyways, because the spectacle is like no other during awards season: it's bigger, fancier, more expensive, and more bombastic than any other, the height of Hollywood excess--and yet the idea of a 'humble' Oscars is simply out of the question. This year, however, there seemed to be a new common thread to the show and that was a marked, almost militant political bent where every celebrity seemed to be promoting a pet cause.
The tone was set in the first two minutes of broadcast, as host Neil Patrick Harris--normally a safe bet for inoffensive humor and spectacular song-and-dance numbers--joked that the show would highlight Hollywood's "best and whitest...I mean brightest", a clear reference to the shutout of minorities from the best actor and actress categories this year. Even in the spectacular song-and-dance number that followed, Jack Black stole the show in a hilarious interruption that savaged Hollywood's reliance on formula superhero films and greedy corporate mentality.
The show then settled from there into its usual mind-numbing routine, but little moments of social and political activism kept popping up--and sometimes in surprising ways. Patricia Arquette's acceptance speech after her win for best supporting actress ended with a passionate plea for women's rights and equal gender pay, which had luminaries like Meryl Streep on their feet cheering. Best actor winner Eddie Redmayne used his win to highlight sufferers of ALS, the motor-neuron affliction that Stephen Hawking (the man he portrayed in The Theory Of Everything) carries. When Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald took the stage for their win in the best documentary category, their speech praised the controversial NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who was the subject of Poitras' stunning Citizenfour.
One of the most touching speeches of the evening was given by best adapted screenplay winner Graham Moore, who recounted his own suicide attempt at age 16 as a means of highlighting awareness of the issue. Even the best song category wasn't immune, as John Legend and Common's everything-including-the-kitchen-sink performance of "Glory" from the film Selma referenced civil rights flashpoints from Selma to Ferguson and earned them a standing ovation. In his acceptance speech, Legend noted that more black men are incarcerated in prison today than were enslaved in 1850 (this was fact-checked to be true, by the way). Finally, best director and film winner Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu spoke about the immigration issue that his fellow Mexicans face in the United States. And if all of that socio-political grandstanding seemed too heavy for the average viewer merely tuning in for some light entertainment, we did get to see what was perhaps the first-ever thank you given to a winner's dog in one speech!
As for the winners themselves, the best actor and actress categories were a virtual lock, as Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore had swept all other award shows this season. The best picture, director, and screenplay categories were unsettled, however, with Birdman and Boyhood generally seen as the two films battling it out this year. In the end, Boyhood (which had been a clear winner at the Golden Globes) was shut out in all but the supporting actress category, while Birdman took home a clean sweep of the screenplay, director, and picture awards. The film is also one of the rare comedies to win the Oscar for Best Picture, perhaps reminding us that even on a night as seemingly serious and packed with issues as this one, it was humor that reigned supreme.

The scuba diving has been challenging, I've found it hard to take any photos in the low visibility and strong current, part of what makes this area productive. Sylvia, Kip and I are all taking photos, making us less than ideal buddies, so we go with our dive master Kevan, and Biff. They keep an eye on us when we get distracted by our subject. We have been repeatedly disappointed not to find big schools of fish, however, Kevan who has been diving here for 20 years, says even a couple weeks ago they were seeing them on many of the dives, so we can't attribute it all to fishing pressure. Before the park was protected industrial long liners took everything they could get. Since protection in 2005, fish are starting to regenerate, but enforcement has been a challenge, and poachers are still taking fish including sharks from the park.
On the surface we have seen mobula rays fly out of the water, manta fins splashing as they feed, turtles catching thier breath, dolphins racing and dipping alongside the boat. We know there is a lot of life in the water!
However, when were diving, the sharks and mantas are skittish and usually move off the reef once they see us. They have been killed for thier fins in great numbers, and should fear humans! It seems all the marine life is unusually jumpy around here. Could also be that I'm using a couple of video lights for photography, which I usually don't have, and I'm with Kip and Sylvia who also look like alien spacecraft approaching with all thier lights.
What we are seeing are lots of varieties of little fish, and a rich and vibrant mosaic of benthic habitat. Beautiful gorgonian fans in blues and reds, corals of all types in a rainbow of colors, and urchins and anemones with thier companion crabs and coral fishes. And lots of jellies..I've managed not to get stung by wearing gloves with my full wetsuit, but the vinegar spray bottle is in high demand after every dive!

Microsoft reportedly tried to buy $51 billion Pinterest, in what could have been the tech firm's biggest deal
Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella.
Tobias Schwarz/Getty Images
Microsoft recently considered a deal with Pinterest, sources told The Financial Times.
The acquisition of the $51 billion social media firm would have been Microsoft's biggest deal.
Pinterest has indicated in the past it wants to remain independent.
Microsoft tried to snap up the online pinboard platform Pinterest in recent weeks, people familiar with the matter told The Financial Times on Wednesday.
The negotiations are not active, the people said. Microsoft's acquisition strategy is focused on collecting a range of active online communities, which it can run on its cloud computing platform, Azure, they added.
Microsoft's acquisition of Pinterest, valued at $51 billion, would have been its largest deal. It would also be twice as big as its purchase of LinkedIn in 2016 for $26.2 billion.
Pinterest didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Microsoft declined to comment.
Pinterest, the social media site where people "pin" images and seek inspiration in home decor, food and fashion, has hinted in the past it wants to remain independent.
The social media platform, founded in 2009, has boomed during the pandemic as customers have spent more time online. Over the past year, Pinterest has gained more than 100 million monthly active users and now has more than 450 million users around the world.

On Friday, Pinterest reported it turned in revenues of $706 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, beating analyst estimates by $58 million.
The last time Microsoft tried to get its hands on a popular social media company was in 2020, when it was in the race to buy Chinese app TikTok. But its bid was rejected by TikTok's owner, ByteDance.

The New Dark Shadows- Why, God, Whyyyyy???
Okay, so I remember hearing rumblings about this a couple years ago, but I forgot. Then today I was watching a YouTube video and the trailer for the new Dark Shadows movie came on. My first reaction was joy... about 10 seconds in it was worry... about 30 seconds in it was sadness... then by the ends I was ready to weep.
I became in love with Dark Shadows when the 1991 version aired on NBC. In case you've forgotten (or missed out on it):
"In 1991, a short-lived prime-time remake was produced by MGM Television and aired on NBC from January 13 to March 22. The revival was a lavish, big budget weekly serial combining gothic romance and stylistic horror. Although it was a huge hit at introduction (watched by almost 1 in 4 households according to official ratings during that time period), the onset of the Gulf War caused NBC to continually preempt or reschedule the episodes resulting in declining ratings. It was canceled after the first season.
The final episode ended with a cliffhanger: Victoria Winters (Joanna Going) learning that Barnabas Collins (Ben Cross) was a 200-year old vampire. It has been reported that the opening episode for a proposed second season would have had Victoria collapsing, after seeing Barnabas, and losing her memory of his terrible secret."
Back to the horror of this new film (which comes out May 11.) So I saw that it starred Johnny Depp as Barnabas and I thought that would be great! Then I started to realize he was awfully pasty looking (think Alice in Wonderland and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory) and thought, "isn't Barnabas supposed to be attractive?"... then horror set in as I started to wonder if it was a Tim Burton production... then I saw Helena Bonham Carter... then I cringed as I realized they had turned the movie into a campy comedy from Tim Burton's "reimagining." And now I have no interest in seeing the movie.
I've caught episodes here and there of the original series (that aired from 65-71) because it used to be in syndication on some station back in the day, but like I said, I fell in love in 1991 and was so disappointed that it ended after one season. Of course I was like 9, so I got over it quickly.
But the thought that they could have adapted it for the big screen with the classic love story and Barnabas being charming and deep... that would have been great. But then they had to ruin it and let that dang Tim Burton get his annoying little hands on it and I can't freaking stand Helena Bonham Carter!
Anyway, here's the trailer... feel free to commiserate with me.

VIDEO: 35,000 Trump fans show up in Madison, Alabama for a Trump rally, where two of the heroes of Benghazi endorse Donald Trump
I ask you, is this a movement? Answer: See photo, above. Alabama Trump supporters pay The Donald rock star attention. For the second time in Alabama, where Trump leads in the polls by a country mile, a crowd of over 30,000 showed up Sunday to hear Trump's hopeful message, "Make America Great Again."
As with most Trump rallies, the rally held Sunday in Madison, Alabama moved from venue to larger venue to larger venue to accommodate the growing number of registrants who were signing up for tickets.
Donald Trump's "America First" message has attracted massive support from American patriots. That support is as broad as it is deep, as evidenced by the rock concert-sized crowds that are appearing to hear him speak.
When I say "broad" support, I am referring to the diverse demographic support Trump has received, from blue collar to white collar, from WASP to minorities, from men to women, from young to old, and even from conservative Republicans to independents to moderate Democrats. The Donald appeals to 'AMERICANS!"
According to AL.com, Major Jim Cooke with the Madison Police Department reported, "We've just never had that size of an event here before. Logistically, the way that's laid out over there, I just can't tell you what's going to happen if a crowd of 20,000 people (shows up). I just don't have a clue."
The campaign began looking around for alternative venues after larger-than-expected crowds began registering to attend the rally.
The event was originally scheduled to be held at the AAL USA Inc. hangar on Wall-Triana Highway adjacent to Huntsville International Airport.
That plan was scrapped on Thursday because of the surging number of people who registered online for the free tickets to the rally.
More than 20,000 people have registered online to attend the Trump rally.
"They don't really know," Cooke said of Trump organizers regarding the crowd size. "They believe that approximately 20,000 people have obtained tickets but I don't think anyone knows or has any way of knowing just how many people will show up."
How about 35,000?
Photo, above: Madison Municipal Stadium, as it appears during a high school football game. An estimated 35,000 Trump supporters showed up, happy and proud to stand shoulder to shoulder on every square inch of the stadium, including the playing field, to see The Donald speak. The official capacity of the stadium is 20,000.
Among the highlights of the rally was another ringing endorsement for Trump (4:20 mark), this time from two of the Benghazi heroes, Mark Geist and John Tiegen, who are also co-authors of the book, 13 Hours. See their full, prepared endorsement beneath the video, below.
At the 19:30 mark the overflow crowd of 35,000 watches in awe as Trump's private jetliner flies by, descending to a nearby airport.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Z5fCwi6Oc
From the Trump website:
(New York, NY) February 28th, 2016 – Today Donald J. Trump received the endorsement of two true American heroes, who fought against all odds in a hostile foreign land, to save more than twenty-five American lives. Mark "OZ" Geist and John "TIG" Tiegen are two of the individuals responsible for the defense and rescue of dozens of Americans during the terror attacks on the U.S. consulate and at the CIA compound in Benghazi.
Mr. Trump stated, "I am truly honored to have the support of these American heroes, the best of their generation. The American people can know with certainty, I will always place their interest above all else. I am the most militaristic person and it is so important to me to strengthen our military and protect American families and freedoms."
Mark "OZ" Geist said, "We, perhaps more than any Americans, know the absolute and imperative reason that we elect Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. First and foremost, under a Trump administration, the request for additional security by an ambassador would have been heeded, and second, there is no question, when the attack came, he would have moved heaven and earth to provide the necessary forces to protect and reinforce our warriors. Mr. Trump is the bold, decisive leader America needs at this time". Oz added, "Under President Trump, many conflicts will be avoided because our enemies will fear the United States and our military."
John Tiegen added, "It is very clear to see the groundswell of support, never seen before in recent politics. Americans want a strong leader, one who cares more about the safety and freedom of the American people than he does winning elections, or what the press might think. In honor of those we have fought with, I am proud to endorse the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump."
Mr. Trump was joined by Mark and John at a campaign rally in Madison, Alabama attended by thousands just days before the March 1st primary contest.

For Geneen Roth, it was a cold day in December 2008 when a close friend called to tell her that Bernie Madoff had been arrested for running a multi-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme that left thousands of his clients' savings accounts worthless — including Roth and her husband's entire retirement fund of nearly $1 million.
"It was like hearing somebody you loved had died in a car accident," Roth, a health and wellness author, said in a phone interview.
James Altucher took a similar gut-punch after his bank account went from $10 million to nearly zero in a matter of months. After a string of initial successes as an entrepreneur and investor, some bad investments and excessive housing purchases left Altucher bankrupt, forcing him to sell his Tribeca penthouse loft and trade down for small home in a small town upstate, with just $143 left in his pocket.
"I was so ashamed and upset," he said in a phone interview. "I wouldn't leave my house for months."
Whether you're a victim of fraud, bad luck or your own mistakes, there's no good way to go broke. The only consolation? At least, people feel sorry for you. If you grew up rich, with the proverbial silver spoon in your mouth, and you lose it all? Well, then you got what you deserved.
That's the "weird duality" of our feelings about the born-rich, per wealth psychologist Jamie Traeger-Muney. We all want to be rich, and everybody loves a good rags-to-riches story about bootstrappers and self-made millionaires and billionaires — but the people who have everything handed to them get no love. "Inheritors are in the lucky sperm club or the lucky egg club," Traeger-Muney said in a phone interview. And whether it's class envy or just schadenfreude, we love watching spoiled heirs and heiresses left helpless when the money runs out.
Mo' money, mo' problems. Frances Stroh grew up on the other side of that weird duality. A fifth-generation member of the family behind Detroit's once great Stroh's Brewing Company, Stroh and her brothers were raised like royalty — only to see it all evaporate when the bottom fell out of the family business.
Stroh wrote candidly about the experience in her 2015 memoir Beer Money: A Memoir of Privilege and Loss, recounting not just the excess and bad behavior — from her coke-fueled teenage years to her father's "ever more aggressive spending sprees" — but also the emotional turmoil of growing up rich.
"Money was a part of one's identity. If you lost it, you lost yourself," Stroh writes. "'Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations,' as the saying goes. Even as children, surrounded by so much abundance, we had been warned there wouldn't be enough to last. 'One day, the money will go,' my mother often told my brothers and me."
That "fear of impoverishment," Stroh added, "became a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Like the "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves" adage Stroh refers to, what happened to her family turns out to be very common. According to a survey conducted by the Williams Group wealth consultancy, 70% of wealthy families lose it all by the second generation; 90% by the third. Part of an economic pattern known as the Kondratieff Cycle, family wealth accumulated over generations tends to wane and waste away with each successive, financially floundering generation.
It turns out what Biggie said about hustling applies equally to wealthy families: mo' money, mo' problems.
"Somebody could pull the plug and it could all be gone." And yet we don't consider those problems to be legitimate. According to Clay Cockrell, a New York-based therapist whose clients are often among the wealthy 1%, those raised with large family enterprises hanging over their heads struggle with motivation and their purpose in life.
"Why get up in the morning?" Cockrell said in a phone interview. "Why do anything because all your needs are met?"
Studies show affluent children are often more anxious and depressed than their lower- or middle-class peers. The perception that they have no right to complain about problems that aren't legitimate only compounds their problems. They end up running in social circles with fellow wealthy offspring, which puts them in a bubble that doesn't expose them to other kinds of people or even the real world.
The lifestyle and closed-off mentality becomes a "vortex," said Denver-based strategic wealth coach Amy Zehnder. "Whenever you're dependent on anyone and anything, you operate differently than when you're independent," she said in a phone interview. Once these children are thrust into the real world, they don't know how to get a job, pay rent or open a bank account.
Zehnder described an exercise she did with a twenty-something client in which the client drew a bathtub filled with jet skis and yachts to signify his fear that "somebody could pull the plug and it could all be gone."
For those whose family wells are now dry, there's a "stealth wealth" facade they feel pressured to uphold, Traeger-Muney said. Whether it's the burden of a legacy name (like Vanderbilt or Woolworth) or just knowing your grandparents once had millions, it can cause all kinds of stress: shame, embarrassment, trust issues, to name a few.
In our modern economy, we're already prone to confuse identity and self-worth with the size of our account balance. But for wealthy families, it's an especially tricky emotional minefield.
Tom Rogerson has been on both sides of the issue. His great-grandfather Charles Rogerson was president of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, at one point the largest financial institution in the northeast. While the Rogerson line included investors and tax planners, the family fortune ran out because everyone continued to spend "normally" without knowing what "normal" even was. Now, Rogerson is a family wealth strategist in Boston.
The trick, Rogerson says, is to try to separate the feelings from the finances. For his own family, Rogerson makes his children stakeholders, to encourage them to make their own decisions and learn by working together — in other words, putting the family before the money.
After all, Rogerson says, "a preserved family preserves the money better."

Trucks, cars and motorbikes will cruise from Wollongong to Kiama in loving memory of Albion Park's Gary Pearce on Saturday. The 21-year-old died in mysterious circumstances on April 27. His body was found in a burnt-out car crashed into a tree at Narrawa on June 9. Mr Pearce's friend Justin Wall has organised a vehicle convoy for those who want to say goodbye. "I knew Gary for 20 years and we were always into cars and trucks," he said. "Both our dad's drive tricks, I drive one for a living and Gary wanted to but he could never keep his licence. "Anyone can come along to celebrate Gary's life." Hundreds gathered at a Kembla Grange chapel to farewell their friend on Thursday. Mr Wall expected many people to participate in the cruise and Gary's father, Gary Sr Pearce will have his son's ashes ride along with him. "It will be nice for those who did not attend the funeral to be able to say goodbye," Mr Wall said. Drivers can meet at Wollongong Lighthouse from 4pm and the convoy will leave at 6pm. Drivers will take the coastal route down to Kiama. Mr Wall said the respectful cruise would not involve any reckless driving and police were aware of the event.

Righteous Wrath
by Ron Falzone
To the editor,
I just read Jonathan Rosenbaum's diatribe against the Force in his editorial on the re-release of Star Wars [January 31]. Given the recent spate of articles on the seemingly everlasting commercial power of the movie and the public's love affair with its spin-off action toys, his piece was a welcome digest of this oft-repeated theme. It is certainly true that Star Wars bears a significant amount of the responsibility/blame for the way in which movies are made and marketed nowadays and it is always worth restating this cliche.
Mr. Rosenbaum uses the final section of his editorial to point out that his objection to Star Wars is not just that he finds its historical context repugnant, he just plain doesn't like the movie. His courageous stand in the face of such overwhelming public approbation is always worth noting.
I would not have given a second thought to the editorial if I had not had my curiosity piqued by something that happened a moment later. I flipped over to Section Two and started reading some of Mr. Rosenbaum's encapsulated reviews of other movies showing around town. There, close to the front of the alphabetical listing, was his lyrical ejaculation on Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Calling it a "visionary look" at "the allure of capitalism in the Reagan era," Mr. Rosenbaum appeared to miss what has come to be seen as that movie's most lasting impact.
Historically, Blade Runner is seen as the movie that institutionalized the art of product placement. At the time it came out the press was peppered with laudatory releases about how Scott had managed to sell nearly a half million dollars in advertising space in the movie. I suppose that an argument can be made for the use of all the Koss, IBM, Coca-Cola, etc, plugs (possibly something about illuminating the Reagan-era commercialism), but the fact remains that the true intent was to get me to pay for the privilege of watching a 117-minute compendium of glossy ads for razor blades and running shoes. Certainly Scott knew a good deal when he saw one; his movies since have been larded with similar "placements" (who can ever forget the three-way chase between Thelma and Louise, the state police, and the Thunderbird logo?).
There is little to argue with in Mr. Rosenbaum's righteous wrath about Star Wars. Still, its marketing is external to the experience of watching the movie itself. I don't remember any point in Star Wars when I was asked to buy a Wookie Cookie or a Death Star Diet Cola. In fact, I don't remember that happening until I went to Jurassic Park 16 years later.
Product placement, though, does not surround the act; it infects the act. If Star Wars showed the industry how to exploit the marketplace with rocket models and action figures then Blade Runner taught filmmakers that they could bring in even more bucks by just tilting the product more toward the camera and leaving it onscreen for an extra three seconds. In this light, I believe its actions are commensurate with those of Star Wars. If that space opera is to be wholly condemned for commercialism I see no reason why the same blanket condemnation should not apply to Blade Runner.
Blade Runner was not the first movie to use such placement. Billy Wilder and Frank Tashlin used it for great comic effect in a number of movies while Roman Polanski showed how it could be used to enhance the horror of the everyday. Scott has no such motive: For someone who was making a comment on "Reagan-era commercialism" he time and again has proved himself a willing and skillful practitioner of same. His commercialism is pure, blunt, and simple and should be accepted as such. Certainly there is no need to have it legitimized with critical rationalizations.
Ron Falzone
Instructor, Film Department
Jonathan Rosenbaum replies:
I appreciate Mr. Falzone's thoughtful and provocative comments, but I believe he errs when he assumes that Blade Runner was as influential in "institutionalizing" product placement as Star Wars was influential in marketing spin-off products; after all, the latter movie was and is an enormous hit, but Blade Runner failed at the box office on first release and has gained a second life only as a cult favorite. He misrepresents my praise, moreover, by eliding the fact that I call Blade Runner a "visionary look" at "both the horror and the allure of capitalism in the Reagan era" (emphasis added) and that my praise is largely founded on matters of style and ambiguity. Maybe these don't legitimize commercial crassness, but they still offer lasting rewards.

Writing an inventory is one of the most life changing steps an individual takes in recovery.
Much of an alcoholic or addict's time has been spent up to this point trying to escape a straightforward facing of conflict and resolution. Taking this critical step can be unnecessarily daunting because of this tendency toward avoidance, but once begun, the inventory process becomes cathartic.
The initial challenge is finding someone trustworthy to share an inventory with; this decision should not be made hastily, but also should not be put off.
The key is to find someone who has a healthy life and attitude, who can be objective in giving feedback and direction, typically another individual with longstanding recovery.
When finding the right person, they may offer various formats for outlining all the resentments, dramas, conflicts and challenges faced. These formats are simply guides which create an opportunity to both write out and constructively analyze motivations behind action and decision making.
The transformation lies in determining the degree in which conflicts and challenges have been faced and acted upon with fear.
Taking inventory is a detailed account whereby an individual can recognize when fear, insecurity or self-seeking has motivated action more than core values.
The principals' honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness and humility are essential for maintaining recovery.
The intention is not to hold a standard of perfection against troubling life dilemmas, but to give a platform for an individual to express what they hope to see from themselves when confronting life's challenges in the future, and what, if any, amends can be made for past situations.
Writing an inventory is a self-examining process, identifying the relationship between fear-based behavior and problem drinking.
Once this step is taken it becomes an insightful tool for self-awareness, empowering the individual to find principals and behaviors which inspire a new way of living.


The US has refused to issue a visa to Iran's appointee for the position of UN ambassador under pressure from the right-wing hawkish elements of the US Congress, a political analyst says.
"…The White house has basically followed the lead of right-wing hawkish elements of the US Congress who opposed the [Geneva] nuclear agreement and want to exploit this issue in order to undermine the talks," Kaveh Afrasiabi said in an interview with Press TV on Wednesday.
Washington has decided to deny visa to Iran's new UN envoy pick, Hamid Aboutalebi, over his alleged involvement in the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran during post-revolution incidents in 1979.
On April 10, the US House of Representatives unanimously approved a legislation that prevents Aboutalebi from entering the US. The White House has also said it would not issue a visa to Aboutalebi.
Afrasiabi referred to Iran's diplomatic measures taken in response to Washington's decision as appropriate options.
"Iran has taken the proper steps of lodging a complaint to the UN Secretary General [Ban Ki-moon] and appealing to the special General Assembly committee that overlooks such matters," he said.
Under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, the United States, as the host country of the UN, is required to allow access to the world body for foreign diplomats.
Iran's Deputy Ambassador to the UN Hossein Dehqani on Tuesday called on the UN to confront the US over its illegal and unconventional move.
On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian university students took over the US Embassy in Tehran, which they believed had turned into a den of espionage. Documents found at the compound later corroborated the claims by the students.


text:
Arthur Miller, född 17 oktober 1915 i Brooklyn, New York, död 10 februari 2005 i Roxbury, Connecticut, var en amerikansk författare och dramatiker.

Biografi
Miller var son till Isidore Miller, en handelsman som ruinerades under Wall Street-kraschen. Han utbildade sig till journalist vid University of Michigan. Efter att han 1944 gjort fiasko med en pjäs på en Broadwayteater hade han tre år senare en stor framgång med Alla mina söner som fick teaterkritikernas pris i New York.

Arthur Miller gifte sig med Marilyn Monroe 29 juni 1956 (de skildes 1961). Tillsammans med tredje hustrun fotografen Inge Morath fick han två barn, däribland regissören och manusförfattaren Rebecca Miller.

Författarskap
Miller är mest ryktbar för sin dramatik, i synnerhet pjäsen En handelsresandes död, en tragedi om en individuell människa och ett angrepp på det konkurrenssamhälle där denne går under.

Häxkitteln (1953) är ett drama om åsiktsförföljelse och motståndsvilja där den till historisk tid förlagda handlingen utgör en parallell till de av McCarthy inspirerade förhören på 1950-talet.

Utsikt från en bro (1955) är en tragedi i klassisk-grekisk efterföljd. Den starkt självbiografiskt präglade Efter syndafallet, som bland annat berör Millers äktenskap med Marilyn Monroe, varierar det i Millers pjäser ofta förekommande skuldproblemet, vilket man även möter i Episod i Vichy (1964) och Priset (1968).

Han har även skrivit manus till film. Han skrev bland annat filmmanuset till Monroes sista film De missanpassade (1961).

Många av Millers verk, och inlägg i samhällsdebatten, är vänsterorienterade.

Tennis star Andy Murray brings his A-game to the SSE Hydro in September to raise money for charity.
Andy Murray Live will include a singles match with Gael Monfils, followed by a doubles match between the Murray brothers and Frenchman Monfils playing with Tim Henman.
The charity match is for UNICEF and Glasgow charity Young People's Futures - and tickets flew when the event was launched at Wimbledon in April.
But the good news is, there are a few left - you just have to be an SSE energy customer, and an SSE Reward member too.
Anyone who signs up today with their SSE account number can get access to the last remaining tickets from 9am on Wednesday, June 29.
The charity match takes place on September 21 - click here for more info on seeing the world tennis number two live in Glasgow.
As for the rest of us? Well, we'll just have to listen to grunts from outside.

Simin Keramati's Insomnia project comprises a series of paintings, video art, and drawings, all constructed to convey a sense of restlessness. Brushstrokes drench canvases in throbbing colours; filmic frames move in woozy black and white. The works for the page offer greater clarity, their fine lines never distracting from the subjects' torment. Blankets are wrapped around slumped or writhing bodies, faces obscured. Fingers run through hair; hands rest on foreheads. Viewers may see themselves under the covers, tossing and turning in a state of frustrating limbo.
The Wind Will Carry Us
directed by Abbas Kiarostami
We see a car chugging along a winding, seemingly endless track, dwarfed by a basin of swooping hills. Driver and passenger amiably disagree on navigation, and eventually the vehicle breaks down. The camera watches from an incline above the road, adopting the perspective of a silent bird of prey, or that of the landscape itself. The travellers' destination is a Kurdish village, where their stay proves longer than expected. As they settle, the binaries at the film's centre – life and death, technology and tradition, urban and pastoral – are scattered by the dusts and breezes of rural Iran.
Chicken with Plums
by Marjane Satrapi
Tehran, 1958. Nasser Ali Khan, a renowned Iranian musician, grieves the loss of his tar, or at least, his tar as he knew and loved it. Worn and damaged, the instrument no longer produces the sound or joy that it once did. Marjane Satrapi's biographical graphic novel leads us through the days that follow, as Nasser, the author's great-uncle, delves deeper into his own misery. The journey is an emotional one, but the narrative is fast-paced and the action vivid. The illustrative panels frame Satrapi's punchy dialogue, as she mixes the melancholy with dry humour.
The Baluch
by Mehdi Hosseini
View an image of the musician →
Composer Mehdi Hosseini draws from the folk music of Persian ethnic groups, including those rarely heard, in hope that his works will inspire 'openness to the plight of others'. The Baluch shares its title with a people who inhabit a region in the Iranian Plateau. Its first movement, 'Liku Dalgani', evokes the arid Balochistan landscape, the alto flute's repeated notes wafting above the heavy sand of a near-static chordal undertow. In 'Kalampour', material is lifted and developed in collage, the fruits of Hosseini's classical conservatoire education pushing to the surface.

What is the next step after I decided to have tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck, called also abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery which removes the excess skin and fat, and tightens the muscles, as a result of which your stomach is flattened. It is often performed after pregnancy, losing much weight or due to ageing process. The surgery allows for removing 30%-50% skin from the stomach area.
If your weight has already stabilized, you are in good health condition and have problems with too much skin in your abdominal area, you are considered a good candidate for tummy tuck in Poland. After having a baby it is recommended to wait several months before having tummy tuck performed. Also, if you plan to get pregnant, it is better not to have this surgery.
Tummy tuck is a regular surgery, where a surgeon makes incisions on your skin. This cut forms scar. Nonetheless, over time the scar becomes less and less visible. In addition, the surgeon always makes sure, that incisions are made in area, which may be easily covered by most clothing and underwear.
As with every surgery, tummy tuck involves some degree of risk. The problems which may occur include blood clotting, bleeding under skin flap, infections, prominent scars, or slow healing. Tummy tuck in Poland is performed by very experienced surgeons in high-standard clinics, which effectively reduces the possible complications.
Tummy tuck procedure may be uncomfortable. The degree of uncomfort depends on the individual sensitivity. The pain, however, is neutralised by painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
If you decide to have a cheap tummy tuck abroad, you would need to stay 4 days in Poland after the surgery. After you go back to your home country you may need 2-3 more days of rest and you can go back to work. If your job involves regular physical activity, it is recommended to postpone going back to work for 2-6 weeks depending on how you feel. Of course, the recovery time lengthens if you have combined two or more plastic surgeries abroad, e.g. tummy tuck and stomach liposuction.
In general, tummy tuck procedure abroad is not covered by any insurance. But, there are situations where your insurance may cover a part of the cost, e.g. hernia or anterior muscles spreading. If you are not sure whether insurance may cover your tummy tuck abroad, consult your insurance company.
Yes, in many cases the results of tummy tuck surgery are permanent. The effects last for a lifetime if you follow the doctor's instructions after the surgery. The two situations which may have a negative influence on the effects of tummy tuck are pregnancy or weight gain.
Yes, tummy tuck sometimes effectively gets rid of stretch marks, especially when they are in the lower areas of the abdomen. Regarding upper areas of the abdomen, stretch marks may be relocated to the lower parts and become much flatter and smoother.
Mini tummy tuck is performed when the patient has problems with excess skin only below the belly button. It does not include abdominal wall tightening. Mini tummy tuck in Poland is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, also the incisions are smaller than in regular tummy tuck procedure.
Tummy tuck is not a good solution for those who want to lose weight. Tummy tuck is a perfect solution for those who have already lost weight. It should be remembered that tummy tuck predominantly removes the excess skin, not fat.

Sacramento Republic FC, City Announce New Details For Railyards Soccer Stadium Deal
Friday, April 5, 2019 | Sacramento, CA | Permalink
A rendering for the Sacramento Republic's proposed Major League Soccer stadium in the Downtown Railyards, released April 2, 2019.
Updated 4:46 p.m., April 5
The Republic FC says it will build a $252 million soccer stadium at the downtown railyards and a 17-acre entertainment and shopping district — for a total private investment of $1 billion — if Major League Soccer picks Sacramento for its next franchise, and if City Council approves their plan next Tuesday.
On Friday, team presented its plan with city officials, including Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who helped negotiate a deal. It includes a $33 million contribution from the city, where it would refund property taxes and waive fees and administrative costs
"For that $33 million, we get a billion dollars worth of investment," Steinberg said during a press conference inside an old paint shop at the railyards.
Four members of the council — Angelique Ashby, Jeff Harris, Eric Guerra and Rick Jennings — were on hand to lend their support.
According to a term sheet released by the city on Thursday, construction of the stadium would be paid for by the Republic and its new lead investor, Ron Burkle, who has agreed to purchase the team and front the costs if MLS gives Sacramento a pro franchise. Burkle, who also owns the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team, issued a statement expressing optimism that Council would approve the deal and MLS would grant the city a team.
"The owners and the Commissioner's office have acknowledged that Sacramento is 100 percent ready. Everyone has worked hard, and we are ready," Burkle wrote.
LDK Ventures, which developed the McClellan Park business community and has been instrumental in efforts to develop the railyards, will be involved in the project.
"This is all about economic development," said LDK's Denton Kelley "But it's all about having an anchor that creates an inclusive culture that creates immediate vibrancy in an urban community, and it actually helps with economic development as a region."
MLS is scheduled to meet April 18 in Los Angeles to discuss who will receive the 28th franchise. The mayor says he plans to be there.
The city of Sacramento revealed details for a Major League Soccer stadium deal with the Republic FC on Thursday.
The term sheet, which outlines the framework for an approximately $33 million city contribution to the stadium, will be discussed by City Council next Tuesday. It's the latest development in a years-long effort by the city and the Republic to secure a professional MLS franchise, a journey that began in 2015.
Sacramento is reportedly vying against St. Louis for a final MLS squad. The league has said it will expand to 28 teams, but 27 are already accounted for by expansion teams in Miami, Nashville, Tenn., and Austin, Texas.
Sacramento Republic FC Lands Billionaire Investor In Hopes Of Improving MLS Bid
Part of the city and Republic's plan to secure a team includes a road map to build a new stadium. The city is eyeing the downtown railyards; the Republic released new images and renderings of a possible stadium earlier this week.
The estimated cost of the project is $252 million, according to the term sheet released Thursday. The city will contribute nearly $33 million through fee waivers and tax reimbursements instead of direct public funding.
For instance, the Republic would pay up front for the construction of roads, sidewalks, sewers and a new light rail station around the stadium. To reimburse them, the city and the Republic would create a special financing district, which would allow the city to use the net increase in property taxes in the district to pay back the team for construction costs. This could amount to approximately $27 million.
The city would also contribute up to $3 million for police and traffic control around the stadium during events, and would absorb administrative and permit costs up to an estimated $1.8 million.
The city would also provide the Republic with the rights to five digital billboard signs, which project advertising near freeways and major commuter arteries and can generate significant revenue.
Unlike the Golden 1 Center, the team would own the stadium, not the city. But the city would receive 10 "club tickets" and parking spots for all events at the stadium, similar to its deal with the Kings that secured a luxury suite for City Hall.
In addition to the 14 acres land for the stadium, the team would acquire 17 acres at the railyards for an entertainment, retail and office development. The proposal also includes plans for a new team training facility and youth soccer academy.
The Republic's bid to join MLS got a boost earlier this year when billionaire Ron Burkle, owner of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, agreed to sign on as an investor. The team lost out on a bid to join MLS in 2017, with reports indicating the league wanted a larger lead investor.
This story has been updated with additional reporting.

Ephesos – Archaeology of an Ancient Metropolis
The explicit aim of the course is a comprehensive knowledge about the cultural landscape of Ephesos from the beginning of human settlement activities in the 7th millenium BC up to the final abandonment of the settlment area in the 17th century AD. The focus lays on the Greek‐Roman metropolis as well as on the Byzantine city as a political, administrative, economic, societal and spiritual centre with a strong impact throughout the ancient world. The city experienced its heyday during the Roman imperial period and Late Antiquity as the capital city of the Province of Asia, and as a trading metropolis with supra‐regional importance. In the immediate vicinity of Ephesus lay the Artemision, one of the most important ancient sanctuaries with a main temple which was historically famous as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" and which attracted masses of pilgrims. The tradition as a site of pilgrimage continued into Late Antiquity, when a brisk traffic in pilgrims grew up around the Christian cult buildings, above all the Basilica of St. John and the Church of St. Mary.
Additionally an insight into the excavation history and the current strategy of the research project will be given to the students. Ephesus offers the possibility to carry out fundamental archaeological research and methodological development at one of the most significant find sites of the Mediterranean region : as the object of research, an entire city region with its hinterland is at hand. This site was continuously settled from the Neolithic Age until the Post‐Medieval period, and during these eras mostly as the central site of the region. The Austrian Archaeological Institute has now carried out research for over 120 years at Ephesus. The ancient history of the site, spanning millennia, is now probed using the most modern technological methods. In addition to traditional excavation techniques, non‐destructive methods such as geophysical survey, deep drilling and surface survey are now increasingly employed. By these means, extensive areas can be investigated in a cost‐ and time‐intensive manner. Within the context of interdisciplinary research projects, not only the human legacy is now analysed, but also the geography, geology, and climatology, as well as the flora and fauna of the region are being investigated in order to be able to indicate as extensive a picture as possible of the past culture of the area.

Today at Element Eden, we pay our respects on this special occasion of national remembrance day to recognise and acknowledge the lives of our beloved soldiers at war.
In celebration of this momentous day, we thought we'd take some time and bake some old fashion Anzac biscuits, with a bit of a health twist!
With a few simple steps and ingredients, soon enough you'll have yourself some of the tastiest biscuits you've ever laid your eyes on!
These healthy treats will serve best with a heart warming cup of tea and a really good book.
Place the almond meal, almonds and coconut in a bowl and mix well to combine. Place the honey and coconut oil into a small saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted. Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir well until dissolved.
Pour honey liquid and coconut milk into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Firmly roll mixture into small palm-sized balls, place on baking tray and flatten slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
The biscuits will be very soft when they come out of the oven, so allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes on the baking tray before transferring to a cool rack to harden.
