Dating in Latin America without speaking Spanish?
lilsoso
For those of you living in countries like Colombia and Mexico, is it necessary to speak conversational Spanish in order to date?
I imagine one can find girls who know English and want to practice English, and perhaps the upper-class girls are well traveled, but beyond that practising daygame and hitting on girls in a bar seems like it would be more difficult than is let on in these forums.
Background: I am a white American guy working for a startup who intends to try living in Guadalajara and Medellin. Thanks for all the inspirational posts on this forum.

I can't really recommend, for the following reasons:
- most Spanish people in general just don't give a shit about English. And the hot chick you're dating most likely too.
- it'll annoy you as fuck always not to understand what the other people talk (about you)
- learning Spanish is really easy and especially in Mexico and Colombia the slang is not too hard, like in Chile or Argentina
- I recognised that most girls were kind of impressed when I spoke Spanish...shows you're not like the other 99% of tourist backpacker weirdos who roam through their countries
If you're still not in the mood to learn, try to stick to girls who have am English tinder profile or daygame near the tourism university
Can do it, but your dating pool and options will be severely limited.
Spanish is not hard and doesn't take too long to learn to a decent level.
No excuse not be able to hold basic-moderate conversations

That's a good point, that the girls might be impressed by a foreigner knowing their language.
I intend to learn Spanish by living in Mexico/Colombia for at least three months and taking a 5 hour language class on Saturdays. I'll supplement the class with phone apps like Duolingo.
If anyone has any tips on learning the language or could share how long it took them to reach conversational Spanish I'd appreciate it.
It kind of sucks not being fluent in Spanish while living in Colombia, but I think if you stick with Bogota you'll be fine. There are plenty of girls here that speak English

Looking into learning Spanish and moving to Mexico/Colombia, the endeavor does not appear to be a shortcut to the easy life.
I figure I'd need to commit to a Spanish language class of at least 5 hours class time a week, practice regularly on an app like Duolingo, listen to tapes by Pimsleur, and immerse myself in a Spanish speaking country for a handful of months. I already know broken Spanish from university prep and travel.
Then let's not kid ourselves: to live well in Latin America you still want a six figure income -- because you want a noticeably nicer apartment in an affluent neighborhood -- what's the point of moving to a developing country to live with the lower-middle-class.
So if you're smart enough to make it as an entrepreneur or highly skilled tech worker, and you're smart enough to become fluent in a foreign language, why bother moving to a developing country in the first place. Instead you could compete in Manhattan. The amount of work required is roughly equivalent.
Nevertheless, having established myself in a tech career, I'm still attracted to the idea. The prospect of becoming fluent in Spanish, however, is daunting -- seems like at least a year of serious work.
For those of you who live well in Latin America, I'd be interested in hearing your story.

I went on italki.com and hired a tutor to give me lessons over Skype. It was informal, but she's from Bogota, so we practiced Spanish and she told me some tips about Colombia before I arrived. I'd guess I took somewhere around 10-15 hours of lessons. When I arrived in LATAM I had a decent base. I've been in Colombia over a month now. I mostly practice Spanish by going on dates with local girls, making small talk with cashiers, baristas, Uber drivers. I still consider myself a beginner at Spanish, but I know enough to hold a basic conversation for at least 5-10 minutes. I also know enough Spanish that most women at least appreciate the effort and often compliment me about it. It sets me apart from the average tourist/backpacker and girls take me more seriously for it. I've been a bit lazy, but I have to commit to taking Spanish lessons if I want to improve.
Another thing I do to practice my written Spanish is use Tinder. Even if a girl flakes, it wasn't a waste of time because I got to practice Spanish.
It definitely is frustrating not being fluent, or even "intermediate." Lots of times I cannot understand basic things. It's also pretty hard to connect with women that don't speak English. You can fuck plenty of girls who don't speak English, but IMO it's impossible to have a relationship with one beyond sex. I've taken girls home from clubs, but the loud music and alcohol masked the language barrier. The next morning things got a bit awkward when we couldn't even talk without Google Translate. Doesn't mean I cannot fuck her again, but if you're interested in "dating" then it makes things quite difficult.
I wouldn't write off Latin America if you're not fluent in Spanish. It'll take some effort to learn, but in the meantime there are plenty of great, educated girls who can speak English.

I don't understand your thought process. Manhattan is expensive, stressful and the weather sucks. I live in developing countries because it takes less effort to get hotter women, you get better value for less money, and it's fun to experience different cultures.

That's reassuring to hear. I'm open to the experience and the challenge of learning a new language.
My primary concern, again, is that learning a new language to a decent level of proficiency requires a significant amount of work: many hours per week over many months.
Not to derail the thread too much, but since you've lived in Colombia, can you compare dating in Mexico to Colombia?

I agree about the Manhattan comparison,it doesn't compare.I haven't been to Latin America but from what I've seen you can get a high end apartment comparable to Manhattan for a more affordable price.Although cities like that have attractive latin women you're not going to be exposed to them regularly. I think it's good to know the language if you considering moving but as far as women I think your skills with talking to women are just as important.I've seen a lot of stories about guys who struggle with women in westernized countries being disappointed after going abroad and having the same issue.

That's my point. The amount of work it takes to sufficiently learn a foreign language, earn a high income, and move to a foreign country is similar to the amount of work it would take to simply compete with the best of the best (e.g., Manhattan) in your own country.
Sure, in a foreign country the rent may be cheaper, and the women lacking opportunities may be easier. But in order to really live well in a foreign country there's a lot of work.
You could become an adwords consultant, move to the Philippines, and exploit the destitute. But that's not the dream, now is it? No, that's sad. "Very sad!"
That is, the moderately educated, middling middle-class men who struggle with women in western countries are not going to move to Colombia, armed with two years of high school Spanish and one month of Duolingo, and suddenly kill it. No, the same conspiracy that prevented them from finding a date for the prom and prevented them from finishing "state school" again will intervene.
I haven't been to Mexico so I cannot comment. Colombia is the only Latin American country I've spend significant time in so far.
As for guys who struggle getting laid in their home country... yeah you'll probably struggle anywhere other than Asia. I'm decent looking, have game (I live an interesting life and it intrigues most women), and have an athletic physique from rock climbing. I don't really struggle to get laid in many places, so it never crossed my mind that I wouldn't get laid if I moved to Colombia. If you don't get laid much in your home country then you should just move to Bangkok or Manilla. It takes almost no effort in either of those places, especially if you're willing to date 5's and 6's. Asian women are a huge step down from Latinas though.
^^ Also places in LA where DHV increases a lot. I got tons of IOIs at some of the bars and clubs in Latin America.

You're right that this does involve a lot of work.The sad thing about our society now is it's been dumbed down to where people expect instant gratification from everything.The idea that money and women are just going to come someone's way with little or no effort is a fairytale.Most of these average moderately,middling middle class men will continue to have issues with women as long as they keep listening to dating advice from their family,peers and mainstream media.I wouldn't use conspiracy but a lot of these guys who follow mainstream dating advice or are "choosing " to give up on women are buying into an agenda that was meant to manipulate their thinking.

Lilsosa moving to other countries is not just about getting laid with less work. It's about adventure, excitement, discovering new places, new women, new types of women. I get laid both in usa and traveling, but I enjoy dating outside of USA much more. I really dislike most american's personalities. Foreign girls who move to usa start adopting this immediately. So when I travel and find sweet foreign girls in all corners of the earth and watch their eyes light up when they see me, there is nothing quite like it. Life is not just about putting in the least amount of work to get the hottest girl, it's about experiencing new things and just enjoying it.

So for dating in Latin America without Spanish, it can be fun, but in my opinion you should always be working on your Spanish while you are there. I have went from extreme novice to sometimes people mistaking me for being Spanish. And what's fun, is watching the quality of your girls improve over time. As my Spanish got better so did the girls I was dating. In Latin America I always have a good shot with the hottest girls I see and a huge part of that is my fluency in Spanish. It doesn't mean I didn't also have a great time with very little Spanish (although not banging near the same quality).
As an update, I've reached level 6 of Spanish on Duolingo. Somehow I thought I was nearing the end, then I learned online there's something like 25 levels total. Googling "how long to complete duolingo spanish" yields varying results, but it appears that if you want to complete it in under a year you need to put in a significant amount of time every day.
If I ever move to say Mexico or Colombia I'll update this thread. I'm currently interviewing for a remote tech job.

Yes you can live in Latin America and date local chicas who speak English but why would you want to do that when Spanish is such an easy language to learn and your experience will so much better if you can communicate effectively with the locals and avoid getting ripped off, in shitty situations, etc. Personally I don't like to travel to places where I don't speak the local lingo, that's why I don't bother with places like Poland and Ukraine, I feel like a moron when I can't talk to a taxi driver or a barber. Also, if you don't speak Spanish then you better bring something else to the table like good looks (preferably blond hair and blue eyes) and the ability to portray a wealthy lifestyle. Myself, I'm not particulary good looking and I'm a cheap cunt so I have to rely on my ability to speak Spanish well and dance salsa half decently.
I went on a date last night with a chica from Tinder, met her at a pub and she was with a friend, it went very well, we had a couple of drinks and some food. She recently visited Canada and was telling me about how much she like it, then the song Mia by Drake and Bad Bunny came on and I said "Drake is Canadian too" and started singing the lyrics (it's a pretty good song), they were impressed and it kept the conversation going. It's little things like that which make dating in Latin America easier, the girl speaks English pretty well because she works at a hotel but she only said a few things in English all night, I came here to speak Spanish anyway, although the Mexican accent and local slang is a pain in the ass.
Rottenapple
I agree with other posters but wanted to mention another thing. The hottest girls everywhere around the world can get by just with their looks. They don't need to develop anything in order to have basic success in life as in access to resources and options for family/dating. This translates in Latin America to the hottest girls not knowing English in general, after all, they are dating the top guys in their country and are having a comfortable life. So if you want access to the top tier, learn Spanish. As said before, it's not too hard, I personally learned in a few months and got fluent maybe after half a year to a year.
But is it necessary? No, you can still get laid from nightgame picking up mostly average drunk girls and occasionally hot girls depending on how you look, dress, carry yourself and your confidence.
^The vast majority of RVF guys are not dating the upper crust Ivy League equivalent in any country around the world, those chicas are dating within their social circles mostly, not hooking up with random tourists. In a place like Colombia, there's tons of working class type girls who are attractive and as Rottenapple mentioned, they don't speak much English. I do agree with you that if a guy is able to snag a high class girl then yes she'll probably speak English well. This is much more likely to happen in Bogota than say Medellin or Cali.

lilsoso,
I lived in Bogota, Colombia for 2 years and I was in Mexico City the last 2. I also have a tech background -- I was a full stack web developer and instructor from about 2013 - 2018.
Learning a second language is daunting. It was harder for me to learn Spanish to a high level than learning to code. The rewards are immensely worth it and when you get to a decent level, you're able to get cute girls a lot easier.
It's also a lot better for the dynamic of the relationship. The reason is this:
Foreign girls who speak English often take to and gravitate toward the snark, the man-hating, the "empowerment", and all the other silliness that you're likely trying to get away from in Anglo/American girls.
When you're with a girl who is not very good with English, she is more culturally remote from those contaminating influences so you're often dealing with a more feminine behaving girl who is significantly more pleasant, less corrupted, and less spoiled. She also relates to you differently since you're outside the tribe and outside of her culture. Less pretense and the lover/boyfriend "role" is less scripted.
With time you'll find these Latina girls aren't perfect either, but they're sexy and you're likely to find them more enjoyable. If you want to get the most out of them then it's worth your while to learn the language.

Exclusive: Elko Cuts Off Toxicity on New Single "QUIT"
Previous post: Before Sunrise (1995)- A Nice Pleasant Movie
Next post: This Is Me Letting You Go
Posted January 26, 2021 by Madison Murray
Toronto-based musician Elko creates an ode to letting go of negativity with "QUIT," a collaboration with LiL Lotus that's their first release of the year. Elko and Lotus take turns saying goodbye to toxic people over a growling instrumental produced by fellow Toronto artist Caleb Jacob and Colin Munroe, the latter of whom also worked with Elko on their debut album, 2020's Love Was The Reason.
On the surface, the song feels like the final nail in the coffin for the crumbling relationship that inspired Love Was The Reason, seemingly detailing miscommunication and standing up against a girl with ill intentions. However, after a few listens, it becomes apparent that this isn't just another breakup song – it's especially noticeable through the cathartic chorus, which repeats, "I just wanna let it go and quit."
"I didn't write 'QUIT' about a specific relationship, but more so something that would underlie most of my relationships," Elko exclusively told TREMG. "Toxic relationships [where someone] won't hear you out or believe what you say. And then the 'quit' part is letting go of that stuff and disassociating from that energy. I realized how much damage it did to my life once I removed myself from the situation and had my own personal space to think."
The song garnered over 20,000 streams the weekend of its release and even earned Elko a feature on Spotify's New Music Friday Canada playlist. It's clear they're moving into a new era of their career, away from the lo-fi tones and conflicting mindsets of their previous work and towards more upfront, unapologetic confidence.
You can stream "QUIT" by Elko on your favorite streaming service now!

Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe is a 10-line video slot based on the popular 5-line version - Dolphin's Pearl. The deluxe version is essentially the same game but with a modern look and some extra bonus features.
Dolphins Pearl Deluxe was released by Novomatic online at a number of online casinos and is still a popular choice for real-money players to this day.
The main way to get a decent win on Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe is to trigger the bonus round and activate 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier. This can be done by getting three or more shell scatters on any of the 5 reels.
The free spins can be retriggered, and does so regularly during the bonus round, as there are more shell scatters on each reel during the free spins game. If this happens then you can be in for some very nice wins.
Like many other Novomatic slots, Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe is a volatile slot, which means that you can go for long periods without triggering the bonus of winning the main game.
In this way it makes the game similar to other exciting, if unrewarding, Novomatic slots like Katana or the great Egypt-themed Book of Ra Deluxe.
If you are new to slots this can be very frustrating, but for more seasoned slot players you will be aware that the wins do come and can potentially be a lot bigger.


Surprise. One of the actresses of fashion, Leighton Meester, that makes the role of Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl, He is already thinking about new challenges in view of the immediate future. The latest statements of the famous American announced its the serial output in two years, by contract and need to change topics of airs.
So after the initial alarm that no panic that we are still two years (hopefully) to see new styles from one of the top trendsetters of the moment. Us as we remember their best looks at Gossip Girl during 2010.
One of the fashions of this year has been the flowers. They have been in force in spring-summer and autumn-winter. It is a trend that favors a lot and that Leighton Meester has wanted to join from Gossip Girl. That is why so many of her most outstanding looks are with floral dresses.
Some of these looks are very elegant, typical of his style lady like but according to what tomas then they would not sit him as well.
It is the case of this long dress that fails to wear it as it does with other garments. The theme of the footwear, as you can see in the pictures, is case apart because when they come out with this style boots or sandals that have nothing to do with the look it is because when recording unseen les feet in those shots.
The flowers arrived in summer with looks very cool and colorful, leaving alreadand intering the autumn with skirts of black background, one of the current trends. This is one of my favourite looks.
Best with beret than without it. Chic.
The style is or may not be acquired overnight overnight. Leighton Meester It has shown that it does and even a simple look of rain with an umbrella is something special in it. A transparent umbrella which fits great with this floral set.
Over the past months we have seen looks with lots of color in clothing and in Gossip Girl they could not be less. Hence this wonderful yellow set with orange touches. Incredible. Very autumn.
Among all the items that we can find the Blazer It is the most encouraging in the street looks. In Gossip Girl We saw a Leighton Meester with this gorgeous look with a Blazer of pictures over a short strapless dress in grey.
As an exception, I choose this look that left us on the set of filming the series. Also from my favourites by how easy that is and it well that led him.
If there is something that is well suited to Leighton Meester are the dresses, spectacular that gets it. This adjusted figure among camel tones and beige dress was that they looked better during these months of series.
Although it for spectacular when you opt for dresses from great designers like this Oscar de la Renta Red passion.
Among all the coats I've seen during these months of filming of Gossip Girl, I'll take these two. Pride of green with this layer, a look so elegant and at the same time so street which could only be Leighton Meester.
And then in this Azure Blue with the accessories game.
Will be a shame when it comes to the end of the series but it sure another appears to continue enjoying the great work of stylists.


I mentioned earlier that David Warnock has an ad "on TV." Which is true. What was not clear, at least to me, was the extent of Warnock's TV buy.
There are four major television stations in Baltimore. WMAR (ABC Channel 2), WBAL (NBC Channel 11), WJZ (CBS Channel 13), and WBFF (Fox Channel 45). Warnock has ad buys already in place with WJZ and WBFF for $197,200 and $175,100, respectively. The ad buys run from yesterday, January 18, through February 21. FCC records also show that Warnock has been in contact with WBAL and I can't imagine he's going to shun WMAR either.
$372,300, for two stations covering one month. That's a lot of ads. My guess is that there's a lot more to come after February 21.
It's called "Moving Baltimore Forward," and it's currently running on Baltimore cable.
And some of them are really, really big numbers. The Sun has a rundown of some of the data unofficially trickling out.
The big headline is in the mayoral race. Mayoral candidate David Warnock has loaned his campaign $950,000, but what shouldn't be lost is that he also raised $360,000, a strong number in and of itself.
District 14 incumbent Mary Pat Clarke, facing three challengers, raised $50,000.
The Sun also reported on the numbers for Brian Hammock, which I reported last night, noting some additional contributions behind the ones I saw.
Hammock's money includes a $3,000 transfer from state Sen. Joan Carter Conway, a Baltimore Democrat; a $3,000 contribution from developer Mark Sapperstein; a $2,000 contribution from former Gov. Martin O'Malley's "O' Say Can You See" federal political action committee; and a $1,000 contribution from lobbyist Sean Malone, among others. Henry challenged Conway unsuccessfully for state Senate in 2014.
That last sentence is key. Joan Carter Conway is someone with a long, long memory. You don't challenge her without the awareness cthat she is unlikely to forgive or to forget. I am sure that she is bound and determined to pay Bill Henry back for his 2014 challenge, with a healthy dollop of interest on top. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on Hammock.
Another broadside from Clean Slate Baltimore PAC.
Changing Of The Guard In Baltimore?
While much of the focus has rightly gone to the presidential, senatorial and congressional races happening in Maryland this year, the biggest changes coming in 2016 may well be on the Baltimore scene. There's an open seat race for mayor, several council members are running for mayor, some are retiring, and virtually every city council seat is being contested in the Democratic primary. The Sun has just posted a rundown of the contested races coming up this spring.
The Baltimore City Council – a body some hope will help bring change to a beleaguered city – is likely to experience significant turnover in next year's election.
Already, four of the council's 15 members have said they will not seek re-election, while several others are considering stepping down or face formidable challengers. The result could be a younger council that analysts say might feel an urgency to address the persistent problems, including Baltimore's entrenched poverty, lead poisoning, housing segregation and drugs, which drew international attention after Freddie Gray's death in police custody.
Sneed, 35, a former broadcast journalist who works as a volunteer recruiter for a nonprofit, has been knocking on doors in the district and attending community events to spread the word about her campaign.
I'm hosting a fundraiser for her here at my house next Saturday, January 9. She's the real deal. I'll have more on the event this week, but if you're looking to support a strong candidate who will be an advocate for change, Shannon Sneed is as good as it gets.
To my Baltimore readers: I need to know more about the goings on in your fair city. Shoot me an email and let me know the whispers and rumors.
A new ad is out in the Baltimore mayoral race. I spent some time trying to track down the people behind it, and it got so interesting I think I need a separate post for that. The group behind it is Clean Slate Baltimore, a federally registered PAC with a PO box for an address.
Here's the video. My opinion is that while it's a negative ad, it's one of the cutest and sweetest negative ads you'll ever see. It's also high quality and almost assuredly didn't come cheap. I very much doubt we've heard the last of Clean Slate.
Sunday is apparently poll day at the Sun. Another new poll shows former mayor Sheila Dixon with a sizable lead in the mayoral primary race.
Former Mayor Sheila Dixon is the clear early front-runner in a crowded field to become Baltimore's next mayor, a new poll for The Baltimore Sun and the University of Baltimore shows.
"Sheila Dixon has almost a 2-to-1 lead, and not only that, but her support is the firmest by far," said Steve Raabe, president of OpinionWorks, the Annapolis-based firm that conducted the poll. Dixon has a wide lead among older voters and African-Americans, the poll shows.
But many Democrats have not made up their minds about how to vote in the April 26 primary, the poll shows, with more than a quarter of respondents undecided. For decades, the contest among the city's Democrats, who outnumber Republicans by a 10-1 margin, has decided the mayor's race.
While we rightly focus on the outcome of today's municipal elections in Rockville, Gaithersburg, Takoma Park and elsewhere around the state, there is now another candidate for Baltimore mayor in the primary next April.
David L. Warnock, the Baltimore venture capitalist and philanthropist, is entering the mayor's race — arguing that his business background and political inexperience are positives for a city in desperate need of job growth and a fresh start.
"We are going to have another uprising if we can't figure out how to create jobs and economic opportunity for the people who are the least fortunate among us," said Warnock, a partner in one of Baltimore's largest private equity firms whose charitable work includes helping ex-offenders.
Warnock, 57, said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun that he plans to formally file to run for mayor Tuesday. He will join a crowded field seeking to replace Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is not seeking re-election.
With his wealth and business connections, Warnock's entrance could put pressure on the field to ramp up fundraising efforts. He also represents an outsider among politicians.
There are four top-tier candidates already in the race: former mayor Sheila Dixon, councilmen Nick Mosby and Carl Stokes, and state senator Catherine Pugh. Whether Warnock will make it five remains to be seen, but his resume and deep pockets certainly make him an intriguing candidate right from the start.
The slogan is "New Energy. New Ideas." Here's the video, a little long at almost five minutes but well executed.

I'm on an airplane flying back to Boston from Nashville Tennessee.
Ron Shaich, the CEO of Panera, has become important to Clover. Immediately after I quit my job I dug deep into my alumni networks. High School, MIT, HBS, McKinsey. I found every person who worked in Foodservice and reached out to them to request a meeting. I reached out to over 100 people. Kept track of it in a spreadsheet.
Ron was very generous. I was nobody to him. But if I remember he took more than an hour listening to me and my questions. I knew nothing about restaurants back then. To this day I always say yes when young entrepreneurs want to meet. It's because of Ron's example.
I was there surrounded by 4,000 Panera employees. 4,000 Panera employees, the Tatte leadership team, (Panera bought them recently), and me (Panera has not bought Clover). It was so huge. There were speeches, events, a vendor show that was sort of like an internal trade show. I didn't know what to expect when Ron invited me.
And honestly I find myself a bit overwhelmed. I keep saying I want to build something huge. And when I say that I'm mostly thinking about the kind of impact I want to have in the world. Big big impact. Not something small.
But what we are at Clover, it's so so small compared to what I just observed. So I guess it's sort of overwhelming and maybe humbling.
There was a lot of business stuff, a concert, meals. Panera is at the top of their game. Their stock is on fire. There were moments that were incredibly inspiring. A regional leader received an award and brought his whole team up to the stage because he wanted to talk about how great they were. He took the time to introduce each of them. It was really touching and inspiring.
Ron gave a big speech that was the climax of the event. 4,000 people. And that's just the leadership in their company. Amazing. Humbling.


Taking this wrap dress from work to a night out by swapping out the turtleneck and tights for a flirty jacket and wedge ankle boots. How do you feel about this wrap dress styled for work versus dressed up for a night out?
The first January featured item is this adorable wrap dress. Yesterday, I shared my "work" style with you, and today we're changing out a few layers for a chic look that's perfect for dinner with the girls, a date night with your significant other, and whatever other fun events you've planned for after hours.
Stop back tomorrow to see how I've dressed this wrap down for a more casual weekend look. And tell me, would you wear this look? Or would you have styled this dress differently?

Deaf 3 Yr Old Not Allowed to Sign his Name
A three-year-old deaf boy from Nebraska received a notice from school officials to change the way he signs his name because it resembles a gun.
Hunter's Story
Hunter Spanjer's family was told by Grand Island Public Schools that the deaf child could no longer sign his name. Hunter uses the standard Signing Exact English, or S.E.E. When signing his name, the boy crosses his index and middle fingers and waves them slightly. Grand Island Public schools says according to school policy the child cannot sign his name because it forbids any "instrument" that "looks like a weapon", according to the Huffington Post.
The family admits that crossing his fingers is a slight modification of the standard gesture, but gives the gesture a personal touch. The family is still voicing outrage over the district's reaction to the gesture.
Should Hunter Be Able to Sign His Name?
The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Deaf and the Spanjer family all believe that the district is over stepping with their policy and Hunter should be allowed to use the gesture.
"Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous," states Hunter's grandmother Janet Logue. "This is not threatening in any way."
Hunter's dad, Brian Spanjer, told the Huffington Post, "I feel like it was an overreach on their part and I expect a lot better from the local school district."
The American Civil Liberties Union joined the fight for Hunter Spanjer and sent a letter to the school district "politely" asking it to reconsider the policy. Brian Spanjer went on to post the letter to Facebook.
Howard Rosenblum, CEO of the National Association of the Deaf, told the Huffington Post that his organization would assist the Spanjers in legal action if necessary stating in an email, "A name sign is the equivalent of a person's name, and to prohibit a name sign is to prohibit a person's name."
A Grand Island Public Schools spokesman told a Nebraska news station that the school was trying to come to an amicable solution for Hunter.
Brian Spanjer will continue his fight to allow Hunter the right to sign his name. Spanjer started a Facebook page devoted to protesting the school's action. One Facebook user, Sheryl Booth, called the school district's actions, "Absolute madness and blatant disability discrimination."
Bloggers are also joining in Hunter's fight. A commenter on Lenore Skenazy's blog "Free-Range Kids" posed the question, "Whatever happened to common sense and shared humanity, not to mention respecting the dignity of a 3 year old and his family?"

Q: Cython standalone executable on ubuntu I want my cython program to be standalone executable on linux, not to be imported. After

cython --embed

i got a c file,now how can i make it executable?

A: I guess you have to compile the .c file you have obtained.
Assuming you are using python 3.5 and don't have to link to other libraries than python you can do this with a simple gcc command like :
gcc -I /usr/include/python3.5m -o your_program your_file.c -lpython3.5m

(you might need to remove the m following the version number)
As you expect it will use the if __name__ == "__main__": statement as entry-point of the program.

Pediatric nursing is the medical care of neonates and children up to adolescence, usually in an in-patient hospital or day-clinic. Pediatrics comes from the Greek words 'paedia' which means child, 'iatrike' which means physician. 'Paediatrics' is the British/Australian spelling and 'pediatrics' is the United States spelling.
The main role of pediatric nurses is to administer directly procedures and medicines to children according to prescribed nursing care plans. Nurses also continually assess the patient by observing vital signs, and developing communication skills with children and family members and with medical teams. Being a support to children and their families is one component of direct nursing care. Awareness of the concerns of children and parents, being present physically at times of stress and implementing strategies to help children and family members cope are all part of the work.
Neonatal nurses are registered nurses who specialise in working with these young, vulnerable patients. Neonatal nursing is a branch of health-care that is mainly focus in providing care and support for newborn babies who were born prematurely, or suffering from health problems such as birth defects, infections, or heart deformities. Many neonatal nurses work in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), providing highly specialised medical care to at risk newborns.
Most importantly, not giving in to heartbreak and despair when some cases do not see improvement or success. Learning to control emotions and moving on is the key to helping more and more patients in this work environment.
Normalise the life of the child during hospitalisation in preparation for the family home, school and community.
Minimise the impact of the child's unique condition.
Prevention of disease and promotion of health of the child.
To become a pediatric nurse you need to first become a Registered nurse. A Registered nurse is a Bachelor of Science (Nursing) at University which is 3–4 years full-time. Once completed you then need to work in a clinical setting for at least 12–18 months. To then become a pediatric nurse you complete a graduate certificate in pediatric nursing.
Pediatric nurses and pediatric nurse practitioners work in a wide range of settings from doctor's offices and community-based settings to hospitals and critical care facilities. Pediatric Nurses may also assist paediatricians or work alongside them whilst providing care to the children. They provide care to children and adolescents in all aspects of their growth and well being. Pediatric nurses give primary care services such as diagnosing and treating most common childhood illnesses and developmental screenings. Acute care and specialty services are also available for the chronically ill children. Some pediatric nurses and nurse practitioners focus on a specialty area, such as cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology or oncology.
Pediatric nurse practitioners (PNP) play a large role in the lives of young people in both sick and also healthy children. To become a pediatric nurse practitioner you will need to go to school for at least two years after earning a bachelor's degree, and you'll need to apply to your state board of nursing to be recognized as an advanced practice nurse. There is also a separate examination that must be sat and passed in order for a pediatric nurse to practice as a PNP.
Patient education helps to enhance treatment results. Nurses must be inclined to work with children at various levels of understanding because in this field of nursing, patient is especially challenging. Children needs someone to help them adapt to the hospital setting and prepare them for medical treatments and procedures, and as a patient educator, pediatric nurses are responsible for this care. Nurses also coach parents to observe and wait for important signs and responses to therapies, to build and increase the child's comfort, and even to provide advanced care.
Another form of patient education is counseling. Injury-prevention strategies and anticipatory guidance is provided in counseling to boost development. Helping the child or family solve a problem is often the focus in counseling with the responsibility of the advanced practice nurses or other experienced nurses.
The expected effective advocate nurse must be aware of the following: child's and the family's needs, the family's resources, and the health care services available in the hospital and the community. The policies and resources of health care agencies must meet the psychosocial needs of children and families, where an advocate nurse must be sure of. The nurses can then reinforce the family and the child to make knowledgeable choices about these services and to achieve to act in the child's best interests.

The people of Istanbul seem unaware that they are 15 million, each one a resident of Europe's biggest city. No, they move through their day as if in a small village: shopping at the local greengrocer, sitting in the park, strolling the marketplace. They fish off the bridge that crosses the Golden Horn. They worship at 500 year-old mosques…and then hop on the modern tram to get to work.
It's a good time to visit Istanbul. Over the past two years, the currency exchange rate has increased 35%. This means you'll have more Turkish Lira to spend at the fantastic bazaars and shops. Look for silk goods, carpets, ceramics, spices, and the blue-and-white "evil eye" ornaments.
The "Evil Eye" is more than a souvenir…it protects against harm. Hang one over your door to keep your household safe. Keep one in your car, wear it as jewelry…and decorate your garden. You can buy tiny ones that come on safety pins to tuck under clothing.
Perhaps you're concerned about your safety in a Muslim country. As with any trip–anywhere–people must be prudent during travel. While the U.S. State Department maintains its warning about visiting Turkey, keep in mind that, because of the constant gun violence, the following countries advise against travel to the United States: United Arab Emirates, Bahamas, France, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Ed, wasn't Turkey the BEST?!?! Except for my 500-mile walk on the Camino de Santiago, Turkey remains my favorite trip. I would do it again, because there was so much to see and take in. TRUE about the tea, too. It's sort of a "contract" between the you and the merchant. But with the current exchange rate, why not??

Der Niam-Niam-Papagei (Poicephalus crassus) ist eine Art aus der Gattung der Langflügelpapageien. Gemeinsam mit den anderen Arten dieser Gattung sowie dem Graupapagei, den Unzertrennlichen, dem Halsbandsittich und den auf Madagaskar endemischen Vasapapageien zählt diese Art zu den typischen Papageienarten der Afrotropis. Der Artstatus des Niam-Niam-Papageis ist allerdings umstritten. Es ist möglich, dass es sich bei dieser Art um ungewöhnliche Farbmutationen des Braunkopfpapageis oder um Hybriden zwischen Goldbugpapageien und Braunkopfpapageien handelt. Der Niam-Niam-Papagei gilt gemeinsam mit dem Gelbkopfpapagei als die am wenigsten erforschte afrikanische Papageienart. Sein Verbreitungsgebiet ist das Grenzgebiet zwischen der Zentralafrikanischen Republik und Kamerun. Vögel dieser Art sind außerdem im Sudan und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo beobachtet worden. Ihr Lebensraum sind bewaldete Savannen und Wälder bis zu einer Höhe von 1000 Meter. Ähnlich wie der Graukopfpapagei beobachtet man sie in der Regel in der Nähe von Gewässern.

Die Grundfärbung des Gefieders ist grün. Am Nacken und am Kopf ist das Gefieder dagegen dunkelbraun. Die Ohrdecken sind silbergrau. Der Unterschnabel ist gelblich hornfarben während der Oberschnabel graubraun bis schwärzlich ist.

MythBusters: 7 Tech Headaches—and How to Fix Them
Innovation is meant to make life easier. So why is this TV geek so annoyed?
By Jamie Hyneman
The MythBusters show is all about the crazy stuff that happens when technology meets man. In fact, we go out of our way to think of creative ways to play with technology. My MythBuster partner, Adam Savage, has just about every kind of iPod, iPhone and iPipewrench he can get his mitts on. But there are times when innovation produces aggravation, and when that happens, technology can flat out drive us nuts.
It's true that sometimes complexity is unavoidable, or even desirable: A cellphone that can give you directions and the weather can be quite useful, but new features should never come at the expense of core functionality--the cellphone should still be able to make a call easily. That's why, as machines become more complicated, good interface design becomes more essential--you can't just keep adding buttons and menus.
The iPhone is a good example. To combine several machines into a pocket-size device, Apple did away with almost all the buttons in favor of a touchscreen that can be reconfigured for each new application. Personally, I have no use for anything fancier than a basic cellphone, but the iPhone is smart technology.
Here are some prime examples of technology that's not smart. Instead, it ranges from mildly annoying to knuckle-gnawing infuriating. But since our show, like Popular Mechanics magazine, is about problem solving, we've included the MythBusters fix for some of this misguided machinery.
Cordless tools and equipment--all with different kinds of battery packs and chargers.
In the MythBusters' workshop I have about 20 chargers and too many battery packs to count that still work but are totally useless. Why not design cordless tools with power packs in 6-volt modules? If designers need to increase the voltage, it's just a matter of adding another module. Logical, right?
I also want to be able to put one brand of battery in another brand of tool. After all, you don't buy a Chevy battery to start a Chevrolet.
Flashlights and other small electrical devices that run on exotic batteries.
I have a lovely little LED flashlight called the Fenix that puts out 1 watt, uses a single AA battery and lasts for months of use. If you look around, most similar flashlights on the market use lithium or other expensive batteries. The catch? Unless you need a high-intensity beam, they don't work any better or last any longer than mine does. I'd be happier if compact LED flashlights that require $13 batteries had never become so mainstream.
Cellphones that all come with different chargers and power-supply units.
How many times have you been totally shut down while away from your home or office because you can never find one of these puppies at a local shop? Miraculously, the industry appears to be working on a solution to this problem. The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (omtp.org) is supported by a number of manufacturers that would like to see the micro USB become the standard connector. It's too early to know if they will succeed; let's hope they do.
AV equipment that has different types of hookups and remote-control protocols.
These things drain too much brainpower and time. For instance, HDMI is considered the standard cable hookup for hi-def equipment, but it isn't fully compatible with other AV protocols, such as DVI, component or, for that matter, coaxial cable.
As for remote controls, there are standard "remote codes" but the system is horrible and unnecessarily confusing. Changing it might lead to a system that doesn't accommodate older remotes. See what I mean? It can make your head spin.
Computer operating systems loaded with stuff I don't want and will never use.
In the tech world this phenomenon is known as "software bloat" or "feature bloat." It's a well-documented problem and a frequent complaint about Windows OSs--Vista in particular. In addition to being buggy, the extra features tend to bog down your system by demanding more processing power and memory. Computer-makers: Don't load up operating systems with features and then make us sweat to figure out how to get rid of the fat.
Most features can be set up as options. Why not start with a computer loaded with basic stuff that works 100 percent of the time? Then, give us the option of adding the bells and whistles. There's another solution available to consumers: Switch to a Linux-based OS such as Ubuntu. Since most Linux OSs are free, there's no business reason to bloat up the system with feature frills.
And high-tech companies--stop messing with us on your treadmill of upgrades while making the old stuff obsolete. It may be that any software company that didn't routinely upgrade its product would go out of business. But what if the rest of the world worked this way? Oh, I lost a sock. I need to get a whole new wardrobe because the replacement sock is version 2.0.1, and the stores now only sell version 2.0.3.
Automobiles with obnoxious electronics.
There are all sorts of things that are being built into cars that are really bugging a lot of us. We all like new cars with technology that improves handling, speed, mileage, safety and comfort. Designers are working hard to deliver that kind of tech. But I don't like all the beeping and buzzing electronics that are being put into cars--and I know I'm not alone. When a car's electronic junk harasses me with beeps until I buckle up a seatbelt around a box I'm carrying on the passenger seat, then there's a problem. And why on earth can a car lock me in automatically? If I want to get out of my car quickly, darn it, I should be able to. We should have control over these things. If I want to be nagged by my car, I'll turn on a nag button.
Cars designed to make it tough to do maintenance.
One late-model sedan I worked on required the removal of a front wheel, plus a bunch of other stuff, just to replace the battery. These days, opening the hood of most cars is enough to give me a headache.
Batteries, filters, fuses and other parts that wear out or need to be serviced should be easily accessible. If the carmakers can install all those oh-so-convenient comfort controls, do they really need to make me do gymnastics to change the oil?
I could go on, but you get the point. We all know companies are in a race to find smarter, faster, slicker technology, but do they really want to pursue that goal at the expense of consumers? Can't we all just be friends and play nice?
To my mind, engineering is a high art, and it brings tears to my eyes to see it so disrespected at times by the marketing and legal departments of corporations. Ideally, form is supposed to follow function, and designing and manufacturing consumer products should be a collaborative process. Companies, it's time to wake up and pay attention to your engineers--and to your customers.

Clayton's family members cried as McFadden's sentence was read. They wore T-shirts that bore Clayton's picture with angel wings and read: "Clayton Veninga: Fly High. You'll always be in our hearts."
Two family members spoke before the sentence was handed down.
You killed all his firsts ... You killed all the hopes and dreams I had for my son.
Sean Canter, victim's father
"You killed all his firsts," said Clayton's father, Sean Canter. "You killed all the hopes and dreams I had for my son ... You killed a piece of me. I cry every day now. Justice, for me, is you spending every day in prison."
Asia Canter, Clayton's sister, said her family had been "destroyed" by Clayton's murder. "My sister and I will never get to play with our brother again," she said.
Madison County Circuit Judge Richard Tognarelli said he took into consideration McFadden's young age and treatment at Chestnut Health Center for anger management and ADHD.
"I know you have not had an easy life, but again, this was a senseless act and an innocent victim," Tognarelli said. "I don't like sending people to prison and I don't like presiding over the murder of a young child ... I don't know what it takes today to deter people from using guns to kill other people. But all I can think of is a 13-year-old kid sitting on a porch when you pulled a gun and fired."
Before passing sentence, Tognarelli read aloud from another letter he had received, this one from Clayton's grandmother. "Because of one stupid, senseless act you have hurt so many people," he read. "He was still a baby, there was no telling how he would have turned out ... I am sad that I have lost my beautiful grandson and will never get to see him again."
I don't know what it takes today to deter people from using guns to kill other people. But all I can think of is a 13-year-old kid sitting on a porch when you pulled a gun and fired.
Madison County Circuit Judge Richard Tognarelli
McFadden is now 21, and in December was convicted of Clayton's murder. After a two-day trial, the jury was out for only 30 minutes before finding him guilty of first-degree murder. He will have to serve 100 percent of his 50-year sentence, so he will be 71 when he is released from prison.
Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons said it was effectively a life sentence for a "senseless act of violence."
"My prayers and thoughts go out to this family that has shown incredible resolve and amazing faith through this terrible process, and we wish them peace and healing," he said.
Asia Canter said it was difficult to get up and speak. While she and her sister, Holly Veninga, said they were happy with the sentence, Asia said it didn't alleviate their loss.
"It don't help," she said. "It helps knowing that he isn't going to kill anyone else, but it doesn't help us emotionally."
Clayton was described by his family as a big football fan who dreamed of becoming a Green Bay Packer. It is not believed Clayton and McFadden knew each other.
"He was really silly; he loved to joke around," Asia said.
Clayton's mother, Angela Veninga, declined to speak, but asked family friend Mark Donovan to speak for her. He said Angela is satisfied with the sentence and that the case is closed now.
"She's going to move on with her life now as best she can," he said.

Here I am again...my daughter turned 26yrs old last week...my ex had called the week before and said random people were contacting her telling her to get in touch with her mother...so what... of course people who know me would do something like that ...right? Nothing to do with me I didn't ask anyone to do that. I have been severely alienated for 5yrs now...I have no way of contacting my daughter or my son...my ex speaks on their behalf?? So are they really feeling so much hate for me? Do they even know what he has done... for all I know they could just think I abandoned them...and that's not happening...EVER...so he threatened me with a stalking and harassment charge, which he says the kids who are adults have agreed to testify...I literally sat around on my day off waiting for the police to come to arrest me... but they didn't because I had done nothing...ugh...needless to say the only way I could see my daughter was at art shows...she told me not to go anymore as it was affecting her business...how? As usual nothing they say or do makes any sense and there is never an explanation because I have done nothing to deserve this abuse...I had a healthy relationship with my kids a stay at home mum for 20yrs...how can this happen?...needless to say it was the first time in my life I didn't get my kids birthday presents...my Xmas presents were returned by the narcissist ex unopened...I feel now he has completed his alienation...my sons 22nd birthday is next week...I think he graduates university this year too...sad I don't have this information just doing the math...just more tears and heartbreak for me...then it's my birthday no acknowledgment of that for 5yrs...let's not forget Mother's Day... not that I was ever allowed that day... that day was for his mother no other mother in the family was allowed that day...and so it continues...I am trying really hard to think positive and believe they will come back one day...but the damage is truly horrific...what kind of sick person...a parent does this...💔

Q: Consistency with date plotting in pandas dataframe Pandas sometimes decides to plot DataFrames with timeindex in different ways.
I am plotting a pandas timeseries DataFrame using df.plot() and getting different behaviors for different columns as how the dates are shown and don't understand why.
I am plotting data for the 18 June, so sometimes the x axis shows the hours 06:00, 08:00,... and sometimes the date/hour in a very confusing way: 06-18 06, 06-18 08, ...
Why ?

A: Let's create a minimal example. The data is equally spaced with exactly 5 hours in between (5h00, 10h00, 15h00).
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

index = pd.to_datetime(["2019-09-11 05:00:00",
                        "2019-09-11 10:00:30",
                        "2019-09-11 15:00:00"])

pd.DataFrame({"x" : [1,2,4], "y" : [3,4,4]}, index=index).plot()
plt.show()

It will result in this plot:

Now, lets add 30 seconds to one of the datetimes,
index = pd.to_datetime(["2019-09-11 05:00:00",
                        "2019-09-11 10:00:30",  # <-- added 30 seconds here
                        "2019-09-11 15:00:00"])

now the data isn't equally spaced any more, and the result is this:

So in the latter case pandas does not consider it as "ts_plot". "ts" presumably stands for time series, but one could argue that both are time series anyways. But of course the latter case cannot be resampled - so that seems the underlying distinction.
Unfortunately, pandas ties the formatter to this kind of time series, and it cannot be changed manually.
You can get consistent results by putting x_compat=True into the plot function. This will make sure no "ts"-like axes is used independent of the data. It will always result in the second kind of plot.
df.plot(x_compat=True)

The advantage of this is that you can manually change the format of those normal plots via matplotlib.dates formatters and locators.

A: This appears to happen when there are missing values for one column. In the graph to the left all values are present, in the one to the right, there are missing values between 9am and 10am.

Hydrogen Fuel from Seawater
by Martin Grolms | Apr 15, 2019
Researchers have devised a way to generate hydrogen fuel using solar power, electrodes, and saltwater from San Francisco Bay.
Theoretically, to power cities and cars, "you need so much hydrogen it is not conceivable to use purified water," says Hongjie Dai, professor in chemistry in Stanford's School of Humanities and Sciences. "We barely have enough water for our current needs in California."
As a concept, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity is a simple and old idea; when power turns on, hydrogen gas bubbles out of the negative end and oxygen emerges at the positive end.
But negatively charged chloride in seawater salt can corrode the positive end, limiting the system's lifespan. Dai and his team wanted to find a way to stop those seawater components from breaking down the submerged anodes.
The researchers discovered that if they coated the anode with layers that were rich in negative charges, the layers repelled chloride and slowed down the decay of the underlying metal.
The team designed a solar-powered demonstration machine that produced hydrogen and oxygen gas from seawater collected from San Francisco Bay. (Image credit: Courtesy of H. Dai, Yun Kuang, Michael Kenney)
They layered nickel-iron hydroxide on top of nickel sulfide, which covers a nickel foam core. The nickel foam acts as a conductor—transporting electricity from the power source—and the nickel-iron hydroxide sparks the electrolysis, separating water into oxygen and hydrogen.
During electrolysis, the nickel sulfide evolves into a negatively charged layer that protects the anode. Just as the negative ends of two magnets push against one another, the negatively charged layer repels chloride and prevents it from reaching the core metal.
Without the negatively charged coating, the anode only works for around 12 hours in seawater, according to graduate student Michael Kenney. "The whole electrode falls apart into a crumble," he says. "But with this layer, it is able to go more than a thousand hours."
Previous studies attempting to split seawater for hydrogen fuel had run low amounts of electric current, because corrosion occurs at higher currents. But Dai, Kenney and their colleagues were able to conduct up to ten times more electricity through their multi-layer device, which helps it generate hydrogen from seawater at a faster rate.
"I think we set a record on the current to split seawater," Dai said.

Nketiah struck late on as leaders Arsenal edged past Man Utd in a thriller
FeaturedSports NewsNketiah struck late on as leaders Arsenal edged past Man Utd in a thriller
Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League, with Eddie Nketiah scoring twice in a 3-2 defeat of Manchester United in a thrilling clash at the Emirates on Sunday, with the 90th minute The winner of the minute was included.
It looked like it would end the honor even as United resisted a late Gunners siege but Nikita tapped in from close range to send the home fans into raptures.
A game that fully lived up to expectations saw Marcus Rashford give United the lead with a superb early opener only for Nketiah to head Arsenal level in the first half.
Bukayo Saka's scintillating drive gave Arsenal the lead in the 53rd minute, but Lizandro Martinez's header equalized before the hour mark to set up an absorbing finale.
Saka struck the post and Nikita was denied by David De Gea but the hosts were relentless as they avenged their defeat to United earlier in the season – their only defeat.
Mikel Arteta's side have 50 points from 19 games, their best performance in the first half of a Premier League campaign, with City 20 to 45 and United fourth on 39, below Newcastle United on goal difference. Is.
"You could see how much we wanted to win and how bad we wanted it for us and our fans," said youth product Nikitia, who scored seven goals in his last seven games as a stand-in for the injured Gabriel Jesus. are, said.
"We kept pushing and pushing and thankfully got the goal."
Arsenal's title credentials are no longer in question and victory against United was another big statement as the champions moved City to within two points of the first.
United are in superb form, winning five of their last six in the league, and carried that confidence into the early stages despite being without suspended midfielder Casemiro.
It took just 17 minutes for them to take the lead and it was no surprise that the in-form Rashford scored.
When Arsenal lost the ball in midfield, the ball fell to Rashford's feet and he cut in after Thomas Partey's pass before curling a low shot from just outside the penalty area that screamed near the post.
It was a shock for Arsenal who had not conceded so early all season but they responded impressively.
United unnecessarily conceded a corner after trying to play from the back and Arsenal played the ball to Granit Xhaka, who delivered an exciting cross for Nectia to make his leap and head home perfectly. Thrown into the back of the net.
Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale was forced to save from Scott McTominay as the frenetic pace continued into half-time.
The hosts stepped up a gear in the second half and Saka headed past Rashford in the 53rd minute to give them the lead. Cutting in from the right, he unleashed a brilliant left-footed shot that gave De Gea no chance.
United came back though and were level six minutes later when Ramsdale failed to deal properly with a high ball and the ball drifted to Martinez who curled a lobbed header into the back of the net.
Arsenal began to turn the tide and with 20 minutes remaining Saka almost restored Arsenal's lead with a carbon copy of his own goal but this time the ball clipped the outside of the post and De Gea saved from Nikita. So it looked like the hosts would have to take the lead. Solve for a point.
But Nikitia, who has established himself as a fans' favourite, was on hand to flick home in the 90th minute after a low cross was deflected into his path.

Shoestring Sue is from Redwood City, California and is a solo performer who plays acoustic guitar and ukulele. On this CD the emphasis is on blues guitar tunes, in a style which Sue herself calls 'all original hillbilly acoustic country blues comedy.
One can imagine that in concert Sue must put on an entertaining show with her tales of low life relationships but on a recording the limited musical palette does not make for an easy listen. Lyrically there is plenty of dark humour here and Sue's vocals are clear. Musically there is just the single guitar though Sue can clearly play as she proves in some of the short breaks in the vocal tracks and with the closing "Guitar Doodle" instrumental.
This is certainly a very different CD from much of what we hear at Blues Blast and may well appeal to those whose tastes include a strong sense of humour and acoustic blues.

Baker family tries to buy back car for father battling Parkinson's disease
By: Taylor Evans
BAKER- A local family is trying to buy back a 1940's yellow coupe for their beloved father's 65th birthday.
Bill Mosely of Baker, Louisiana has struggled with Parkinson's disease for over a decade. His son, Hunter Mosely, says his disease has take a turn for the worse within the past two years.
Bill opened up Baker Glass in 1979. He soon began restoring cars, and the yellow coupe was his first.
"Dad had multiple cars that he restored, but this was his first one, this was his baby, he had more connection with his car than any other one," Hunter told WBRZ.
The family says the car played a major role in their childhood, but as the family grew, the decision to sell the car was made. Not long after that, Bill was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
As his condition worsens, his family wants to bring one gift back into his life for his 65th birthday.
The yellow coupe has been sitting off Blackwater Road for over six years. Bill's family has made multiple attempts to reach the owner of the car.
"We're hoping that he can see that its still sitting there, and it does have sentimental value to us, and he would maybe consider selling it back to us," Hunter says.

THIS COMES JUST ONE DAY AFTE THE STATE REPORTED ITS FIRST COVID 19 RELATED PEDIATRIC DEATH. MISC CAN OCCUR IN CHILDREN OR TEENS WHO CONTRACT CORONAVIRUS OR HAVE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE INFECTED. DOCTORS SAY SYMPTOMS INCLUDE FEVER ABDOMINAL PAIN VOMITING DIARRHEA AND FATIGUE. EMERGENCY SIGNS OF IT INCLUDE TROUBLE BREATHING CHEST PAIN AND BLUISH LIPS OR FACE. LOOKING AT THE LATEST NUMBERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DHEC ANNOUNCED MORE THAN 1900 NEW CASES TODAY,. MORE THAN 22% OF TESTS RETURNED CAME BACK POSITIVE. THAT'S A NEW RECORD HIGH. RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NEARLY 1500 PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED DUE TO COVID 19. 188 PEOPLE ARE ON VENTILATORS. DHEC ANNOUNCED TEN NEW DEATHS TODAY, INCLUDING THREE FROM THE UPSTATE. TAKING A LOOK AT THE TOP HEADLINES THIS EVENING: THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA HAS CANCELLED THEIR IN PERSON GRADUATION SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST DUE TO RISING CORONAVIRUS CASES. THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SAYS THEY'LL STILL HOLD IT VIRTUALLY BUT WITH THE INCREASE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO HOST A LARGE IN PERSON GATHERING. FLORIDA HAS NOW SET A RECORD FOR MOST NEW CASES REPORTED IN A SINGLE DAY SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC. AT MORE THAN FIFTY THOUSAND CASES THEY SURPASSED NUMBERS FROM NEW YORK AT THE START OF THE OUTBREAK. STATE OFFICIALS SAY THEY RECEIVED MORE THAN 135 000 RESULTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD NOT BEEN TESTED BEFORE AND 11 AND A QUARTER OF THOSE TESTS CAME BACK POSITIVE. THAT IS A TWO WEEK LOW IN% POSITIVE DOWN SIGNFICANTLY FROM THE STATE'S RECORD HIGH OF 18% EARLIER THIS WEEK. DESPITE RECORD HIGH NUMBERS AND SURGES IN MORE THAN THIRTY STATES THE NATION'S TOP DOCTOR SAYS WE CAN TURN THIS AROUND. >> IF WE CAN GET A CRITICAL MASS OF PEOPLE WEARING FACE COVERINGS , PRACTICING AT LEAST SIX FEET OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, DOING THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE EFFECTIVE.

The StockSelector Value is based on the idea that the market will typically price a stock at a consistent multiple to future earnings expectations if fundamentals remain basically the same. In the past three years, the market has typically priced Pier 1 Imports, Inc. at 13.2 times future earnings estimates.
The Industry Value is based on the same basic principal as the StockSelector Value except instead of using the company's own historic multiple, it uses the current PE ratio based on future earnings estimates for the entire Home Furnishing Stores industry. Then mulitplies this value by Pier 1 Imports, Inc.'s earnings estimate for the subsequent year. If the fundamentals for the company are consistent with the fundamentals for the industry, and these fundamentals (and estimates) remain the same, the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. could trade around its Industry Value in the next 12 to 24 months.
