Bill Maher says Ashli Babbitt knew California cared more about 'toxic Whiteness' than 'toxic brokeness'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher on Friday night addressed the death of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran from California who was fatally shot inside the Capitol on Jan. 6. Maher stressed that Babbitt "lost her life trying to prevent Biden from becoming president" -- despite the fact she was previously an Obama voter. He sympathized with Babbitt as a struggling business owner who was "pissed off at the greed and corruption," but insisted a second term for President Trump term would not have solved her problems since it was her home state of California that was "doing most of...
The Atlantic Predicted an Iowa COVID 'Tsunami' to Discredit Governor — But It Never Materialized

National Review ^ | 1/15/2021 | Tobias Hoonhout
Iowa governor Kim Reynolds's reluctance to embrace stringent coronavirus lockdown measures resulted in a case spike in November and guaranteed certain disaster over the holidays, according to an ominous story featured prominently on The Atlantic's website in December. Titled "Iowa Is What Happens When Government Does Nothing," the article, written by Iowa native Elaine Godfrey and published on December 3, attributed the brief statewide spike in cases and hospitalizations to Reynolds's insistence on weighing economic factors when making decisions about COVID, and predicted that the state "can expect to see nothing less than a tsunami" over the upcoming holiday season.
Ohio researchers say they've identified two new Covid strains likely originating in the U.S.
CNBC ^ | 1/13/2021 | Will Feur
Researchers in Ohio said Wednesday that they've discovered two new variants of the coronavirus that likely originated in the U.S. — one of which quickly became the dominant strain in Columbus, Ohio over a three-week period in late December and January. Like the strain first detected in the U.K., the U.S. mutations appear to make Covid-19 more contagious but do not seem like they will diminish the effectiveness of the vaccine, researchers said.
CUPPA LOADA THIS Drinking two cups of oolong tea a day may help you lose fat while you sleep, study finds

The Sun ^ | 8 Jan 2021 | Matt Bell
TWO cups of oolong tea a day can help you lose fat while you sleep, research suggests. Scientists found the tea boosts your metabolism while you kip — which keeps your body burning off calories. Like all tea, oolong contains caffeine which has been shown to boost fat breakdown by about 20 per cent. But experts discovered caffeine-only drinks stop working when you drift off — while the special tea continues to encourage your metabolism to keep going during sleep. Prof Tokuyama, of Tsukuba University, Japan, who did the study, said: "The stimulatory effects of oolong tea on fat breakdown...

Roughly one in every fifteen Americans have now tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Over the past weekend, the United States surpassed twenty-two million cases and 370,000 related deaths—both figures by far the highest among all countries. Health officials, however, are anticipating even darker days ahead despite the surge in cases and fatalities in recent weeks.
Trump's Last Drug Pricing Rules Are a Mixed Bag for Seniors
Townhall.com ^ | January 9, 2021 | Peter Pits
The Trump administration recently finalized two rules meant to reduce Medicare drug prices -- while ignoring some serious unintended consequences. For seniors, the rules are a mixed bag. One will help patients save money at the pharmacy. But the other, the "most-favored-nation" rule, is likely to backfire, reducing access to treatments in the long run. The most-favored-nation rule prohibits Medicare from paying more for certain advanced medicines than the lowest price paid in other wealthy countries. It applies to physician-administered drugs, including treatments for osteoporosis, kidney disease and cancer. The list price of many of these drugs are deeply discounted...
Lockdown Measures Catastrophic for Recovering Addicts, Mental Health

The Epoch Times ^ | January 5, 2021 | Charlotte Cuthbertson
MINNEAPOLIS—Overseeing sober living homes for newly recovering drug addicts is difficult in the best of times. But the endless shutdowns have created conditions that are challenging for healthy people, let alone those who are fresh out of rehab, vulnerable, and still reeling. Matt Royce, 35, oversees seven sober-living homes in Minneapolis. All of his houses, each holding between 9 and 13 people, have been "pretty full the whole time." No overdose deaths had occurred in his homes in almost three years, but last summer he lost two people, while another three were revived from overdoses with opioid-blocker Narcan. Depression has...
Federal stimulus package won't erase PennDOT's funding gap or plans for new tolls or taxes

The Allentown Morning Call Adware Farm ^ | December 22, 2020 | Tom Shortell
Congressional leaders passed a new stimulus package meant to alleviate the financial pain of the coronavirus, but it won't cure all that ails PennDOT's pocketbook. PennDOT press secretary Alexis Campbell said Monday afternoon it wasn't clear if the relief plan will cover the $600 million funding gap plaguing PennDOT. Early media reports indicate that $10 billion of financial relief could be distributed to the 50 states' highway systems, though it's unclear how much would come Pennsylvania's way. State Sen. Pat Browne, a Lehigh County Republican and longtime chairperson of the Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday that transportation-specific wording included in the...
When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.

reason.com ^ | 12/30/20 | Jacob Grier
Distilleries just learned that to cap off a brutal year, the FDA is charging them a fee normally reserved for drug manufacturing facilities. For many American craft distillers, 2020 was already one of their worst years ever. The COVID-19-related closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, loss of tourism, and inability to offer in-store sampling slashed their sales revenue and cut them off from their customers. Then this week, just as it seemed they'd made it through the worst of a terrible year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had one more surprise in store: The agency delivered notice to...
Wisconsin Hospital Employee 'Intentionally' Ruined Hundreds of Doses of COVID-19 Vaccine

A hospital employee in Wisconsin who "intentionally" ruined hundreds of doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine has been fired, Advocate Aurora Health said Wednesday. Earlier this week the medical center learned that 57 vials had been removed from a pharmacy refrigerator and left out overnight. Each vial contains 10 doses. "While some of the vaccine was administered to team members on Dec. 26 within the approved 12-hour post-refrigeration window, unfortunately most of it had to be discarded due to the temperature storage requirements," Advocate Aurora Health said Monday. After an internal review, officials initially believed the cause was "inadvertent human...

A new polio outbreak in Sudan has been linked to the oral polio vaccine that uses a weakened form of the virus. ... WHO said two children in Sudan, one from South Darfur state and the other from Gadarif state, close to the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea, were paralysed in March and April. Both had been recently vaccinated against polio.

Let's think about it…..(well of course that would go against the MSM and the social media platforms like Face Book, Twitter, Google, YouTube, etc.) Miss-handlers or pushers of the fraud?

Disgraceful: The Reactions to the Death of GOP Congressman from COVID Is What You'd Expect
TownHall ^ | 12/30/2020 | Matt Vespa
Congressman-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) has succumbed to COVID. He was 41 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two small children. He tested positive on December 18 but deteriorated rapidly. He passed away in the intensive care unit at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport. Letlow was chief of staff of outgoing Congressman Ralph Abraham (R-LA). He was set to take over his seat. It's an absolute tragedy, but the ghouls are already out. This is social media in 2020. We shouldn't be shocked by some of the reactions regarding the news of Rep-elect Letlow's death.

More Than 1.5B COVID Face Masks Will Pollute the Oceans
American Greatness ^ | 12/29/2020 | Catherine Smith
An Estimated 1.5 billion disposable face masks will end up in the oceans this year according to a Hong Kong-based conservation organization. OceansAsia based its estimate on 52 billion masks being manufactured in 2020 to meet the demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Their report also says that a "conservative" calculation means at least 3 percent of them will be washed out to sea. "Single-use face masks are made from a variety of meltblown plastics and are difficult to recycle due to both composition and risk of contamination and infection," the report says.
Coronavirus Published 1 hour ago Amid coronavirus, George W. Bush's 2005 pandemic warning resurfaces, may underscore slip-ups by successors

Newly resurfaced footage of then-President George W. Bush urgently warning of the risks posed by pandemics in 2005 -- "If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare," Bush said at the National Institutes of Health -- has drawn belated praise from his detractors, and raised new questions as to the state of the federal government's disaster preparedness since his administration. In particular, a USA Today fact-check recently confirmed that the Obama administration had allowed the N95 mask stockpile to deplete following a series of crises, and apparently ignored calls for experts to renew...

In order for people to travel in 2021, they may eventually need a COVID vaccine passport. Several companies and technology groups have begun developing smartphone apps or systems for individuals to upload details of their COVID-19 tests and vaccinations, creating digital credentials that could be shown in order to enter concert venues, stadiums, movie theaters, offices, or even countries.

Al's Cafe, David's Diner cited by county health department for defying shut down order
The Pittsburg Post-Gazette ^ | December 21, 2020 | Patricia Sabatini
The Allegheny County Health Department cited Al's Cafe in Bethel Park and David's Diner in Harmar late last week for serving meals indoors in defiance of the governor's shut down order. The statewide restrictions, which expire Jan. 4, are aimed at stemming the current surge in COVID-19 cases. Inspectors visited both restaurants Thursday in response to complaints, according to the inspection reports. Both were ordered closed that day. Inspectors followed up Friday, when both restaurants were found operating and ordered closed again. Both also were cited for removing the county's "closed" signs, inspection reports show. In addition, Al's Cafe, on...

Annuity – To make sure your money—and your lifestyle—will last as long as you do, you provide a lump sum of money (from an employer account, IRA or savings) to an insurance company and in return you get a guaranteed stream of regular payments for the rest of your life (or for some specified period).
Life Insurance– A Whole Life policy protects your spouse from unplanned medical expenses, funeral costs and outstanding debts such as credit card and auto loans.
Health – If you are retiring and under the age of 65, we can help you find the right Affordable Care Act compliant plan that suits your needs. Often when a person retires, his or her spouse may need to change to an Individual Health Plan until the spouse also reaches the age of 65.

Don't miss the first installment of "estimated taxes" for 2013. The deadline for the first quarter of 2013 is April 15.
Strategy: Navigate the "safe harbor" rules in the law. Otherwise, you could be held liable for an underpayment penalty plus interest.
Here's the whole story: Generally, you're required to pay your annual federal income tax bill in quarterly installments or through payroll tax withholding (or a combination of the two). The quarterly due dates for the tax payments are April 15, June 15, Sept. 15 and Jan. 15 of the following year (or the next business day if the due date falls on a weekend or holiday). Failure to pay the required tax can trigger the penalty.
You pay at least 90% of the current year's tax liability. This requires a well-calculated "guesstimate" of your current tax situation.
You pay at least 100% of the prior year's tax liability (110% if your adjusted gross income for the prior year exceeded $150,000). This is often the easiest method because you know the exact amount of your previous tax liability.
You pay at least 90% of the current year's tax based on "annualizing" your income. The annualization method works best for certain individuals, such as independent contractors, who receive most of their income on a seasonal basis.
Your tax liability may be higher in 2013 than last year if you're in the new top 39.6% tax bracket. In addition, an employee or self-employed individual won't benefit from a 2% reduction in employment or self-employment tax. The "payroll tax holiday," which spanned 2011 through 2012, is over.
Tip: Therefore, you might have to adjust your tax payments to Uncle Sam accordingly in the form of increased withholding or bigger installments.
Online resource: The IRS provides work sheets to help you calculate your estimated tax liability.

Film Review: This "Joker" Is All Hole and No Ace
Written by: Christopher Llewellyn Reed | October 3rd, 2019
Film poster: "Joker"
Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019) 1 out of 4 stars.
A relentlessly bleak tale of despair and anger, director Todd Phillips's Joker features a blistering collection of mannerisms masquerading as emotional truths in lead actor Joaquin Phoenix's performance, and not much else. For sure, there is mental illness, class-based rage, simmering violence brought to a sudden boil and then plenty of blood, but what does it all amount to, in the end? With all its plot points, reversals and ostensible narrative surprises underlined in heavy crayon, what passes for meaning gets lost in the sophistic philosophizing. Yes, the extreme rich are selfish and often insensitive and, possibly, evil, but so what? Who doesn't know that, already? Still, at least it looks great, the splatter of brain matter and viscera hitting the lens with just the right lighting to make it pop.
The manufactured controversy about the film's apparent violent message gets it all wrong: Joker is not pro-nihilism, even as it portrays the origin story of a master of chaos. He's our protagonist, but even someone paying only half attention would get that he's deeply disturbed and not exactly a model to emulate. No, the real problem is the facile way the very real economic divisions of our world are exploited as simplistic plot contrivances. Based on a comic book though this may be, Phillips (The Hangover) – given the seriousness of tone and dark palette of the visual aesthetic – acts as if he's remaking Taxi Driver, which helps explain the presence of that film's lead, Robert De Niro, in an important supporting role, but does not excuse the vacuity of the expositional dialogue.
Joaquin Phoenix in JOKER ©Warner Bros.
Phoenix (so much better in last year's You Were Never Really Here) plays Arthur Fleck, a lonely middle-aged man with an apparently incurable condition leading him to laugh uncontrollably at inappropriate times, whose behavioral idiosyncrasies have led to the one job he can handle, that of a street clown twirling ad signs on sidewalks. When we first see him, he's putting on the white makeup for that gig, setting up the visual foreshadowing of the villain he will become. Jumped on the street, his sign stolen, he gives chase, getting the bejeezus knocked out of him as a result. If monster he will become, he's a weak one, to start.
Another issue that has come out in the run-up to the movie's release is its storyline involving mental illness, but the fact that the Joker, superhero Batman's arch-nemesis, is criminally insane is hardly new to this latest iteration. I'm no expert, but how else to explain his homicidal mania? I think, however, that what might bother some advocates is the painstaking manner in which Phillips and company lay the groundwork for the tragedy behind Arthur's current state, as well as the empathy they ask us to feel for him, thereby perhaps implying that anyone you might see suffering through psychosis or other crisis could be a master criminal in waiting. I see it more as character development, though not a particularly nuanced one.
Zazie Beetz and Joaquin Phoenix in JOKER ©Warner Bros.
Joining in the mayhem is Frances Conroy (Ruth Fisher from HBO's Six Feet Under) as Penny Fleck, Arthur's mother; Zazie Beetz (Sollers Point) as a winsome neighbor; the aforementioned De Niro as a late-night talk-show host (thereby doubling the Scorsese references with his additional connection to The King of Comedy); and Brett Cullen (River Guard) as a particularly obnoxious Thomas Wayne, father to the future caped crusader (who makes an appearance as boy Bruce). They're mostly acceptable, though Cullen goes broad (not as much as Phoenix, however) in his attempt to really sell the billionaire baseness. As stuffed as the fat cats are meant to be, however, the cinematic manor in which they here reside is really just an empty shell that thinks it's full. The Joker's cackle, in other words, is but a shrill shriek into the void.

Film Review: "Stallone: Frank That Is" Tells a Mostly Unknown Perspective on a Famous Celebrity Icon … and His Brother!
By Adam Vaughn
Stallone: Frank That Is (Derek Wayne Johnson, 2021) 3 out of 4 stars. I humbly admit, as an individual who was not physically alive for the events portrayed in Stallone: Frank That Is, that I feel as if the realizations brought to light by director Derek Wayne Johnson's newest documentary may not have the same impact on me as a viewer who lived through the 1960s and '70s. Still, Stallone: Frank That Is weaves an interesting story, full of ... >>
Interview with "Climate of the Hunter" Director Mickey Reece
Close to the theatrical premiere of director Mickey Reece's newest film, Climate of the Hunter (which I reviewed for this site), I had the opportunity to "Zoom" with Reece to discuss the movie. Climate of the Hunter tells the story of two lifelong friends, Alma and Elizabeth, as they invite over another, long-lost friend, Wesley. Relaxing and enjoying life at a secluded vacation house in the woods, Alma starts to suspect that Wesley is ... >>
While Innovative, "Go/Don't Go" Is Far Too Monotonous to Be Easily Remembered
Go/Don't Go (Alex Knapp, 2020) 2½ out of 4 stars. Releasing at the end of the year is director Alex Knapp's Go/Don't Go, described by its distributors as a "slow burn thriller" of a drama film. Keeping this in mind, I braced myself for a story that was going to move at an unhurried pace. Knapp, however, pursues this pacing without the full fundamental story points needed to keep the viewer invested. While certain parts have great cinematic ... >>
Film Review: "Ham on Rye" Offers a Visually Full Meal
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Ham on Rye (Tyler Taormina, 2019) 3 out of 4 stars. Filled with images both lyrical and eerie, Tyler Taormina's debut feature, Ham on Rye offers a cinematic meal of solid calories made fancy through some impressive presentation. Though the story, itself, may be minimal, it resonates long afterwards, its implications universal beyond the borders of the small California town where the action takes place. Life is short; choose your path wisely. ... >>
Adam Vaughn's Top 10 Films of 2020
Below is my list, in order of preference: Da 5 Bloods (Spike Lee): Lee delivers a very fresh perspective on the burdens of the Vietnam War, specifically from the point of view of his powerhouse African American cast. The film is well directed and acted, and the journey the main characters go through is compelling and extremely memorable. The Invisible Man (Leigh Whannell): Just when you thought Universal Studios had exhausted ... >>

Suntec City in Singapore is a vast shopping complex that boasts a mall, an exhibition and conference centre, as well as office tower blocks. Its sheer size is home to a few flagship stores. There's a movie theatre, as well as video arcades, and almost always a fair being held. It's worth checking out what else is on for you to see when you've finished shopping.
Suntec Shopping Mall has over 600 shops spread over 4 floors featuring brand names, department stores, and plenty of restaurants. Suntec City's magnificent Fountain of Wealth is a landmark that's worth seeing – listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest fountain in 1998.
There are plenty of shopping options at Suntec City, whether you're after clothes, accessories, books or electrical goods, you'll find everything you need inside this megamall. The complex is sectioned into 4 zones to help shoppers get around with ease – based on the Feng Shui design of the centre.
The Galleria is on the ground floor which is where you'll find all the high-end designer labels, whilst the Tropics are home to more high-street affordable items, including homeware and electronics.
Fountain Terrace is where most of the restaurants are located. The Entertainment Centre is the 4th zone dedicated to a whole host of pleasure and leisure pursuits.
Eating at Suntec City mostly takes place around the impressive Fountain of Wealth in the Fountain Terrace zone. There are all the usual fast food outlets, plus 2 food courts and plenty of decent restaurants open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
There's a wealth of entertainment facilities at Suntec City. Go to the North and East zones of the mall and discover a Cineplex called Golden Village, a fitness centre and a games arcade. Arcade Planet and Cow Play Cow Moo offer arcades and computer games galore, and great fun for teenagers and adults.
For younger kids there is the indoor SuperPark playground facility on the third level of the North Tower, between towers 2 and 3, offering plenty of fun and games that will keep them busy for hours. The Suntec Singapore convention centre and exhibition hall are also worth a look, where interesting happenings regularly take place.
Suntec City is easily accessible by MRT or bus, next to the Central Business District and is. Via MRT, depart at Esplanade Station or at City Hall, then walk for 10 minutes through the City Link mall, or take the free shuttle bus between City Hall MRT and Suntec City. Buses stop right outside the convention centre. There are also 2 basement levels offering over 3,000 car parking spaces, charged by the hour.
Unlike other shopping malls in Singapore, many visitors favour visiting Suntec City over the weekends, when city workers in the neighbouring areas are taking a rest.

Were I to sat down any time before yesterday and prioritized the many LJ posts I would like to write (or, in many cases, finish), I doubt Leonard Cohen's name would have appeared on the list. Which would have meant missing out on sharing some amazing artistry with my friends.
Fortunately, last week's BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week was A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord. Also fortunate is that the BBC has some of the world's best radio producers. Sometimes, when such sparseness serves the material well, a Radio 4 Book of the Week is a condensation of the book into five fifteen-minute episodes, read by a single performer. Other times — again, when it serves the material — they will condense the text even further, in order to take advantage of the nature of their medium and enhance the text with relevant audio content. The producers of A Broken Hallelujah did just that, and did it brilliantly. After listening to it last night while doing errands around the house, I listened a second time this morning — this time staying close to the computer and pausing frequently to search youtube. Where I found songs I had never heard, along with performances I had not heard in far too long, and interpretations of favorite songs that were new to me. And saw some brilliant videos — some fan-made, some professional — inspired by his songs.

« Car Exploded, Cheated by the Cable Company and Your Dog Got Sick from Treats? Sutori.com to the Rescue!
"Lost" actor Matthew Fox was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence after being pulled over on Friday at 3:23 am in Bend, Oregon after an officer noticed that Fox was failing to signal properly or stay within a lane of traffic.
Fox has no other DUI convictions on his record, though last year he was accused of punching a bus driver after he wasn't allowed onto a bus. He was not criminally charged, but the driver later filed a civil lawsuit against him. Fox filed a countersuit claiming the bus driver hit him.
The 45 year old star was apparently going to a fast food restaurant for a snack.
Fox was taken into custody, but was released later the same day.
If convicted he could have his license suspended for 90 days. He may also be required to attend alcohol education classes or have his car confiscated.
Fox's court appearance scheduled for June 17.
What a dumb rich guy.
You'd think the dude could call a cab! Sounds like publicity to me.

Help us raise money to find a cure for ALS!

Event: Rochester Walk
Team: B Kool
This will be our team's third year walking for a cure for ALS! Our team is named "B Kool" in honor my father, Paul Dentinger. He passed away on February 13th, 2017 after a courageous battle with ALS. B Kool was one of his favorite sayings. It was on the license plate of his red corvette. He drove that corvette until he couldn't drive it anymore. Last year our team raised $12,155! Thanks to all of you, his friends and family who love him so dear. It is a testament to the kind of man that he was!
Our first walk was in September, 2016., and my Dad walked along side us. He walked the entire mile, which was not easy for him as ALS was taking its toll on him. Last year, he was with us in spirit, and I know that he will continue to be with us spirit for every step, every phone call, every email, and every other effort that we made to raise money for this cause.
Thank you for helping us reach our fund raising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.
What is ALS? It stands for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries
Thank you for your support. Together we can make a difference!

Acquired from the above by the renowned Soviet composer and pianist Arno Babajanian in 1968.
Acquired from Ara Babajanian by the present owner.
The work is accompanied by a letter from Ara Babajanian, the son of Arno Babajanian, confirming the provenance of the work.
Literature: L. Budkova, D. Sarabianov, Pavel Kuznetsov, Moscow, Sovetskii khudozhnik, 1975, pl. 84, illustrated; No. 449, listed.
There is a palpable sense in Old Moscow, which Pavel Kuznetsov painted soon after his return from Paris, of the artist's infatuation with French painting: the greenery blanching in the heat and bright sunlight, the little white, blue and yellow houses with their pink roofs, the luminous pale blue of the sky, pierced in the distance by the silhouette of a church and bell tower and the lively shifting structural colour of the road receding into the distance – all these features awaken recollections of Paul Cézanne's views of Aixen-Provence and L'Estaque, of Kuznetsov's conversations with André Derain and of that whole round of Parisian impressions and meetings which inspired the artist to create several urban landscapes "of the new type" in the mid-1920s.
In these landscapes, Kuznetsov returns, as it were anew, to the fresh en plein air painting, with which he had started – to his Courtyard in Saratov or the works he created in the studio of Valentin Serov and Konstantin Korovin. This return to en plein air, however, is linked to a new stage in the development of his own painting system, when his earlier principles of decorativeness and elegance of texture are enriched by deeply-weighed considerations of the rhythmic structure in a composition.
In this highly decorative landscape, Kuznetsov draws all the spatial planes together into a single pictorial field, emphasising its integrity by precisely handled correlations of colour. The bright white ground shows through the verdure, the sky, the walls and roofs of the houses, everything in fact becomes ethereal, infused with streaming light. The world without shade that emerges is full of radiant colour, which it has absorbed from the sunlight.

How did I spend my 10th Anniversary of eating a different chocolate every day?
I enjoyed a walk and ate 10 chocolates today. It was also my birthday, so sweets were on the menu.
I started the day with my Chocolate(s) of the Day: two very fine, single origin dark bars from Ecuador, made by Arete Fine Chocolate (Milpitas, CA).
I also enjoyed a Hazelnut truffle and a Cognac truffle from XOX Truffles (San Francisco, CA), and a Party truffle from Z. Cioccolato (San Francisco, CA).
Last but not least, I enjoyed a Gray Sea Salt Agave Caramel (in Milk Chocolate) from Amella Caramels (not pictured here).
The gluten-free caramels were part of a gift from Elana Turchon and Joy Lowrie at SweetE Organic (Mill Valley, CA) to celebrate Chocolate Banquet's 10-year anniversary.
The caramels were cleverly tucked into a trophy with a gold, star-shaped sparkler.
Thank you to all who helped celebrate this occasion!

If you're reading this article, you may be thinking about ending your affair. But on the other hand, you might be thinking, "There's no way on earth. I'm not about to end this thing. I'm happier than I've ever been." I still ask that you listen to these three reasons for ending an affair.
Comments Off on 3 Reasons To End An Affair
The Lover I Left My Marriage For Left Me
Mauro2020-12-09T11:10:25-06:00
It was so powerful that you gave up your marriage for it… Your dream is now a nightmare. You gave up everything you needed to give up to acquire this one rare jewel and now the jewel has moved beyond your grasp. You feel out of control. Lost. Miserable.
How to End an Affair with Someone You Love
Marriage Helper Team2020-10-28T10:09:13-06:00
You are not quite sure how you got yourself into the affair, and even less sure about how to end an affair.You love your paramour but hate the sneaking and cheating. You vacillate between ending the affair and giving yourself totally to it. You feel intense emotions for your lover, but even as you tell yourself, or your lover, that everything is going to be wonderful, deep within a small voice says that it will not be.
Choosing Between Lover or Spouse
It may be that somebody has told you that you're really not in love with this other person; that it's a fantasy, that it's infatuation, or that it will go away. I'm assuming, of course, that you're here because of the fact that you are trying to make a choice between whether to leave to be with your lover, or stay with your spouse. In other words, you're married, but you're thinking:

HomeNewsFeature NewsReps Form Committee To Investigate Dapchi School Girls' Abduction.
Reps Form Committee To Investigate Dapchi School Girls' Abduction.
March 14, 2018 Jacob Atere Feature News, Latest, Nigeria - National, Public Safety, Security
An ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives began preliminary
investigations into the abduction of 110 girls from Government Girls Science and Technical College,
Dapchi, by Boko Haram insurgents on February 19, 2018.
The committee, which is chaired by Mr. Buba Yusuf-Yakub, said the latest dapchi school girls abduction again raised the question on rising security challenges in the country.
"It suggests that our security challenges as a nation have become nastier and frighteningly comprehensive to such an extent that life in Nigeria has become short and brutish."
Yusuf-Yakub, who spoke with reporters at the National Assembly, said the committee's modus operandi would include meeting with military commanders, the parents of the girls, the police, the school authorities and the state and local government officials to get first-hand information.
He also said the committee would find out whether security agencies were complicit and whether there was dereliction of duty.
The chairman added, "The committee will, at the end of this important national assignment, express its
opinion, apportion blame where necessary and make recommendations."

The great post-Covid privacy creep
April 30, 2022 No Comments Business
San Francisco's Moscone Center is best-known as the site where tech companies stage blockbuster events. It was here in 2007 that Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone with the words, "Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything."
I used to be a regular visitor to Moscone but, over the past two years, I've been there just three times: twice for vaccine jabs and, more recently, for the Game Developers Conference, a gathering of video games creators, known as GDC. It was the largest event I've been to since the great re-emerging, with 12,000 people attending.
In the lead-up to it, I received an email telling me to download an app called Clear Health Pass. Americans who fly will be familiar with Clear — the company touts regularly for new business at airports. For a fee, Clear promises a fast-track through security.
Since May 2020, Clear has also made an app that verifies vaccination status, "giving you the confidence to move forward", as it states on its Twitter feed. It certainly gave me the ability to move up the queue at GDC. Those who didn't have it had to join a snaking line.
Prompted by the app, I was asked to upload evidence of my vaccine (OK), take a picture of my passport's photo page (Sure) and run a scan of my face (Um…). The app also needed my email, home address and phone number. What exactly Clear can do with all this data is laid out in a 4,596-word privacy policy.
A San Francisco bar wanted my email address before showing me the wine list
It explains that, by using the app to verify your vaccination status, you consent to your details being used to receive "services offered by our marketing partners". Non-biometric data can be used to perform "data analyses" including "market and consumer research". It also says that the company can use "your health information" to "evaluate and improve our services".
And then there's this: "We may also share de-identified information with public interest organisations, healthcare organisations and researchers. We will prohibit these organisations from attempting to re-identify the information we share with them."
When I contacted Clear for more information, a spokesperson told me that it's never had to take action against a company for breaking these policies. And when it shares information, it makes it "practically impossible to re-identify" specific individuals. Such reassurances are to be expected. But we must ask whether systems like this should be the cost of entry for public life post-Covid.
I've highlighted Clear but similar, steroidal data gathering is everywhere. A bar in San Francisco wanted my email address before showing me the wine list. Ubiquitous QR codes often pick up data about you. For decades, companies dreamt of knowing more about what you do in the real world. And now they do.
Sensing public unease, lawmakers around the world have tended to duck the sensitive topic of "vaccine passports". It's clear we're getting them anyway, but managed by corporations instead. Last year the American Civil Liberties Union warned against technology "putting more of our personal information and power into the hands of companies who profit at our expense".
The Clear app is in use at events across the US. It's free for the event-goer and, while technically optional, the convenience factor means mass adoption is inevitable.
We've been at this crossroads before. The true implications of data gathering on the internet crept up on us. We should be mindful to not let the same thing happen again.

The rumors are claiming that the data shows a massive particle which is decaying into light quarks (which are the ones that form all of the protons and neutrons in the Universe), which adds to the excitement. The only particle that theorists have strong motivation to expect to find is the Higgs particle, which I have discussed in previous articles, and which gives mass to all the particles in the Universe. The problem is that the Higgs we expect to find will decay to very heavy short-lived quarks.
And that means that this new discovery is not the Higgs, and it is not any other particle in the Standard Model. If the data is real, it indicates an unexpected discovery of the first new particles or forces in several decades (the W,Z bosons and the top quark were both predicted before they were discovered).
Supersymmetry: There are two classes of particles, fermions and bosons, and to make the Standard Model work at higher energy levels requires a symmetry between them that has never been observed. As with dark matter, there are hundreds of models for this supersymmetry and several of them could be adjusted to explain this new data.
Extra Dimensions: For almost a century physicists have considered the possibility that the Universe contains higher dimensions, with various properties. Several of these models contain a second complete copy of the Standard Model with masses above what previous experiments have been able to achieve. It is not difficult to model a higher mass copy of the u and d quarks that decay to their lighter counterparts in the Standard Model, in agreement with the observations. Because of the limited energy range of the Fermilab experiments, only the heavier u and d quarks can be produced and not the b and t quarks which would decay to heavier quarks, which makes this another prime candidate.
Fourth Generation: This one is a little harder to justify, but is still interesting. The Standard Model is neatly organized with 24 fermionic particles divided into three generations, each with two classes (quarks and leptons), each class divided into particles and antiparticles. There is no reason to exclude a fourth generation of particles, which would be very heavy and would quickly decay into lighter quarks. The downside is that they should prefer to decay into the third generation quarks rather than first generation, but that could be explained with a suitable model.
Of course theorists are notorious for generating thousands of models to explain a single anomaly, so this list is far from exhaustive. It must also be remembered that these large experiments often announce data that ends of being just an error or a statistical anomaly, and they end up meaning nothing.

The dental plan encourages preventive care and covers most dental services. Two preferred-provider-organization (PPO) options are offered in all Chubb locations. When you use network providers you can reduce your out-of-pocket costs. When enrolled in a PPO coverage option, you can obtain your dental care from any dentist you wish and still have coverage. Your eligible dependents (your spouse or qualifying domestic partner and children) can be enrolled for dental coverage when you are enrolled.
Dental insurance is as good as it is anywhere else. And it's not very good anywhere so that's what I mean.

If you're looking for an office role with a focus on organising the workforce, a career in Human Resources might be exactly what you're searching for. Depending on the size of the company and whether you choose to become a generalist or specialist, your main responsibilities may encompass hiring staff, providing training and development, looking after pay, benefits, and welfare, and giving advice on employment law. You will need to have tact and a thick skin to work in HR, as sensitive issues will arise (such as redundancy). Despite these challenges, a career in HR can offer you plenty of opportunities to grow and contribute to a crucial aspect of the business: finding and hiring top Talent. We've gathered examples of positions from HR Intern all the way to Senior HR Manager to show what your career progression could look like.
Looking for your first step towards a career in HR? An internship position can provide you with a great starting point to learn more about the field. This position at the Gresham Hotel does not require previous experience, just a genuine interest in HR and knowledge of Microsoft Office and office admin.
This 3-month internship will provide you with experience across a range of HR functions including maintaining personnel files, assisting in employee relations, and rebranding HR collateral. You'll need to hold a third level qualification in HRM or be working towards a CIPD accreditation. HR positions will also typically require strong communication and interpersonal skills.
After gaining initial experience, an HR Administrator position might be your next step up. HR Administrators work alongside the HR team to ensure that a high-quality service is provided, to support all stages of the recruitment process, and to implement HR policies and practices. Your day-to-day duties would include maintaining files, coordinating training, and updating the system with training records. To qualify for this position at Core Media, you'd need at least 1 year of experience in a similar role.
Similar to the previous position, as an HR Administrator at BetBright, you will coordinate the recruitment processes and all new joiners and leavers of the organisation. Maintaining employee records and documentation, administering benefits, and filing HR documents are also be under your remit. You'll need 1 year of previous HR/recruitment experience, as well as have an HR qualification or be working towards obtaining one. While not a requirement, a knowledge of Irish employment law will give you an edge.
HR Advisors at Noonan are responsible for (you guessed it) advising, guiding, and supporting supervisors on HR and employment law issues, including ensuring that the company is legally protected in employee-related matters. You'll need an in-depth understanding of employment law and HR processes and policies. As with all the previous roles, a superb attention to detail and strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential.
A Recruitment and Training Manager is someone who can be both a top headhunter and an inspirational trainer. At Brandface, you will be required to source the right people required by clients and secure them in the Talent database. Following this, you will train and monitor staff performance and manage their attendance and payroll. A minimum of 3 years' experience in a similar field is required.
As an HR Exec at Bord Bia, you will implement best practice HR systems, procedures, and processes within the HR Department. You will place graduates in overseas markets, manage work experience placements, and deal with temporary staffing requirements. To qualify for this role, you'll need a Degree or Diploma Level Qualification in a relevant discipline (e.g. business or HR), to be CIPD affiliated, and have 5+ years of HR generalist experience.
Moving up the ladder, an HR Manager will develop and drive the HR plan at all levels of the business, from performance management and succession planning to employee development and training events. For this position at PEI, you would need 7+ years of HR experience (2+ at management level), a Bachelor's degree in Business, Psychology, or a related field, and be a chartered member of the CIPD. Excellent leadership and an ability to think strategically are also key to being successful in this position.
A further step up, as a Senior HR Manager you'd be required to have not only extensive HR knowledge but also experience performing as part of a senior leadership team and influencing business decisions. At Perigord, your duties include implementing a defined HR structure, coaching management on issues relating to performance, development, retention, introducing new initiatives to improve the performance of the company, amongst many other crucial tasks.

Users can now move line items, sub-categories, and categories within the same budget or to another budget in the same hierarchy. This allows users to easily move items that are added incorrectly or when tasks are assigned to another budget. The new move items interface makes it easy to see what items are being moved and to where.
Based on the measurements we started in R67, we made improvements to areas of the product to speed up performance. Some of the affected areas included dependencies, sorting of choice lists and analytics refresh.

Welcome to Tensions of Europe
Book series: A new European history
New ToE research program: Technology & Societal Challenges 1815-2015
ToE early career scholar network
Making Europe Vol. 6 is published!
Tensions of Europe is the transnational scholarly network and hub for transnational research, education and outreach initiatives on history, technology and Europe. Founded in 1999, ToE explicitly includes social tensions in the making of technology and Europe, as well as Europe's transatlantic and (post)colonial connections.
Building a new research agenda
ToE provides an infrastructure for transnational research groups and projects. In addition ToE develops agenda-setting 'flagship' programs that engage with pressing societal and scholarly questions.
Today, in times of global crises and social and environmental 'grand challenges', ToE builds a new flagship program on Technology and Societal Challenges, ca. 1800-2050. It succeeds the first ToE flagship program, initiated in 1999 during the European integration hype, on Technology and European Integration and Fragmentation, ca. 1850-2000.
