Watergate overshadowed all of Nixon's other achievements.
I'm not actually a Historian, this is for my English work so I just need a basic understanding of the Watergate scandal.

The transition to fatherhood can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, journeys for dads today, says a Kansas State University marriage and family therapist.
"Having a child is more of everything," said Jared Durtschi, an assistant professor of marriage and family therapy who studies the transition to parenthood among married couples. "It is more happiness. It is more joy and more laughter. But it is also more work, more diapers and more time."
It's true that fatherhood can be a difficult life transition, said Durtschi, a father of three children. Even statistics are not always in dad's favor.
"It is widely documented that on average, couples' relationship quality declines at a steeper rate when they have kids compared to couples who don't have kids," Durtschi said.
The biggest decline occurs in the first 12 months after birth, when first-time parents are adjusting to having a baby. After two years, the relationship quality between parents begins to look more similar to the relationship quality between nonparents because the couple has adjusted to children, and parental demands decrease. In Durtschi's research, he observed 260 couples for four years and found parenthood can amplify negative aspects that were present before children but were not a problem in the relationship before children.
Despite all the doom-and-gloom, Durtschi said fatherhood offers many rewards. It is just important for first-time fathers to expect parenthood to be challenging and realize they must choose to be involved parents and to maintain a strong relationship with the mother. It takes time and effort.
"It's a choice to engage in behaviors that lead to becoming a good husband and a good father," Durtschi said. "Parenthood has the potential to bring couples closer together and it can make a stronger marriage. It can make us better people, if we are willing to sacrifice for each other. However, how couples respond to the additional roles and stresses of parenthood can predict how happy a couple may be."
Durtschi offers the following advice for all fathers, especially those experiencing parenthood for the first time:
* Be a part of pregnancy. A father's involvement during pregnancy is related to his involvement after the child is born. Fathers can bond with their children during pregnancy by talking to the child or attending prenatal appointments, where they can see the ultrasound and hear their child's heartbeat. From the first day the baby is born, it can be especially helpful for the father to spend time holding the baby and bonding with the child.
* Have realistic expectations. In general, if our expectations about an event are violated, we tend to be less satisfied with the result. The same can hold true for fatherhood. Many first-time fathers expect that parenthood will be easier than it is -- that their child will rarely cry and will always be easily soothed, and that their social and leisure lives will continue on as they did before having children. It is important for new fathers to be realistic and flexible in their expectations of parenthood.
* Practice patience. Durtschi encourages fathers to practice responding to their wives in a kind and gentle manner even when they are very stressed and upset. It is good practice for fatherhood, Durtschi said, because there will be more stress when a child is crying in the background.
"If we give into all the extra stress, pressure and sleep deprivation, we can end up yelling at our spouses or saying hurtful things we might not have said in other conditions," Durtschi said. "How we respond in those moments plays an important role in whether we are going to maintain close romantic relationships, or if relationships deteriorate."
* Be involved. When a child arrives, fathers often end up working more hours to pay for extra expenses, but often do less housework, Durtschi said.
"It's like parents can start going down different roads if mom's world becomes her child and dad is not a part of that," he said. "Even if the mother is working full-time, she is usually the primary caregiver. A good indicator of a mother's happiness is if she perceives that the father is doing enough child care and housework. For every couple, that is different for what 'enough' is."
Men often feel as if they are doing more housework and child care than they actually are, which can be very frustrating for the mother, Durtschi said. Fathers can find out how they are doing by simply asking the mother.
"The relationship changes when he is no longer the center of her attention," Durtschi said. "Before parenthood, she might have made many sacrifices for him, and now most of her time and energy are for the baby. But if the father is also making sacrifices for the baby and the mother, they are making the transition to parenthood together. They are still unified as a couple."
* Have couple time. For first-time parents of an infant, it may not be possible to go on dates as often as they prefer. But it is still possible to do activities together, even it means bringing the child or talking about the child the whole time. This can actually be healthy because it cements that they are both in it together, Durtschi said.
* Spend time with your child, no matter the gender. It is an unfortunate statistic: Dads are more likely to spend time with a baby boy than a baby girl, Durtschi said. Yet, both babies need a father. Dads can still play peekaboo games and spend time with baby girls in the same way as baby boys. The more involved he is, the happier the mom usually is.
"If you aren't involved when the child is a baby, you likely won't be involved when your child is 24 months old either," Durtschi said.
For fathers with multiple children, it is important to spend quality time with each child. Activities like getting ice cream or going to the park give dads a chance to play with their children.
"Men usually form relationships with other male friends by doing fun things together," Durtschi said. "Fathers can bond with their kids in the same way -- by playing and having fun with their kids."

The role of youth in their health and the health of their communities was the theme of the 4th Annual Rodham Institute Summit, held Oct. 20 at THEARC in southeast Washington, D.C. Community leaders, clinicians, and students presenting at the day-long event emphasized how to engage and lift up young people living in underserved areas.
The empowerment of youth is the core mission of the Rodham Institute, which works to improve health equity in Washington, D.C., through community collaborations, health education, and service learning, said Jehan "Gigi" El-Bayoumi, M.D., RESD '88, founding director of the Rodham Institute and professor of medicine at George Washington University's (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS).
Millennials face many misconceptions, but if given a real chance to engage and be heard, they can make a world of difference, said Rain Henderson, CEO of Clinton Health Matters Initiative, which works to improve people's health and well-being.
However, young people living in impoverished areas have many obstacles to their health. Social determinants, such as poverty, water and air quality, and educational status, all make a difference in well-being, El-Bayoumi said. In addition, mental health is not separate from physical health.
That's why programs such as the Youth Escape Arena, Inc. and Little Friends for Peace (LFFP) work to create positive environments for disadvantaged youth.
During a panel discussion on youth advocacy, MJ Park, founder and executive director of LFFP, spoke about the program's Peace Classes, an environment that allows kids to go inward to find peace. Park gave the example of a 5th grader who was acting out. After getting her to open up about her anger, Park learned the young girl could not read. "When you can't read, when you don't feel like somebody, you're angry and you lash out," she said.
Samantha Simpore, founder of Youth Escape Arena, added that labels such as "at-risk" can be toxic. "Our kids are 'at promise,' " she said. "The environments which they come from are at-risk.
"When kids are empowered and know they can make an impact in the world, you will be surprised in the magic that can happen," she added.
Pipeline programs, the topic of the second panel discussion, allow educational institutions, such as GW, to help young adults realize their full potential.
Nicholas Dingle, a 17-year-old Suitland High School student from Forestville, Maryland, served as an example of someone who gained from such programs during the panel discussion. Dingle participates in Rodham's Health, Education & Leadership (HELP) program. Through HELP, Dingle has worked on social impact research projects, and during the discussion he expressed appreciation for the ways in which the program has enabled him to develop into a "well-rounded" member of his community.
Alexia Charles also addressed the importance of the programs from the perspective of a participant and later leader. The third-year M.D. program student at SMHS worked with the D.C. Health and Preparation Program, mentoring high school students in the D.C. area.
"It was a great experience for me to be able to expose them to health care careers, to be a role model for some of them, to just give them an idea of what they could do, what the opportunities are," she said.
There's also a need in such communities for health workers who are truly connected to the patient population, added Daniel Mays, SMHS '15, resident at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. That's something he saw first-hand in Uganda, where community health workers were unpaid volunteers who simply wanted to help others.
Health providers, from local health workers up to physicians and surgeons, must say, "this is not just a group of people that's going to utilize my services and pay me, but this is a group of people I want to see thrive," he said.
During the summit, the Rodham Institute presented three awards totaling $30,000 to support projects linking community members, organizations, and leaders with academic partners at GW. Awards went to ventures that provided support for youth mental health first aid instructors, engaged communities to enhance asthma care, and created toolkits for families of LGBTQ youth.

I am proud to admit membership in the tribe of Moleskine (pronounced "mol-a-skeen-a"). I've been using the pocket-sized black notebooks for years, gathering them up and hoarding them before their popularity recently surged; they are portable and fit perfectly in your pocket, their hard (but not too hard) covers give enough support to write anywhere, the sewn-in ribbon allows you to easily find your place, the memo pocket in the back holds odds and ends, and the elastic band binds everything nice and shut for traveling. I use them to jot down story notes, write first drafts, and make hasty sketches; it's perfect for the Vagabonder on the move.
They've also now gotten more explicitly into the travel game with Moleskine City Notebooks (originally blogged here by Justin). 2006 saw notebooks covering European cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Vienna; 2007 is for North American cities: Boston, New York, Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Seattle; and 2008 will cover Asia, with notebooks for Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore (yay!), Taipei, and Tokyo.
The features contained within include a key map with an overall layout of the city as well as a map of the Metro system and list of stations, up to 36 pages of zone maps with an alphabetical street index, a 96-page tabbed archive, up to 76 blank pages, 32 removable tear-away sheets for exchanging info with travel companions, 3 bookmark ribbons, and 12 translucent sticky sheets to overlay onto the various maps for notes and route-tracing.
One notable thing about the text in the maps and indices is that almost all of it is in Czech. This makes a certain amount of obvious sense, as Prague is a city of Czech-speakers, but when one is trying to find the Charles Bridge or Old Town (both of which are labeled in English in many guidebooks to the city), one must go to a third party text to see what these names translate to in Czech. A few of the major landmarks are labeled in English (such as Prague Castle, the National Theatre, and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul), but one will need to either rely on a tour guide, a guidebook, or a friendly stranger to discover the many other sights the city has to offer.
The maps were all provided by Lonely Planet, and are beautifully reproduced in the notebook, but missing are any other contributions from that wonderful guidebook company. To be fair, Moleskine has marketed the City Notebooks as "The first guidebook you write yourself"; however, it would have been nice to have been given a handful of facts, especially if one is a first-time visitor the city. The tabbed archive section — which is reserved for notes about places, recipes, bars, adventures, shopping, books, &c., and has room for blank tabs you can label yourself — would have been ideal to place at least one tidbit of information in each category. Full price for these notebooks is US$27.95, which is a bit steep when you'll have to kick in for a regular guidebook as well.
The maps are by far the big draw of the City Notebooks, as well as the plastic overlays. Since I've never been to Prague, I found a Kafka-themed walking tour of the city online, and traced the route on the sticky sheets; blue pen showed up, but the ink didn't like the surface nearly as much as when I used pencil. And the great thing about them is that if you want to reuse the sheets or reposition them, it's incredibly easy to erase your graphite marks and peel off the sheet.
So, if you like Moleskine notebooks, and you like to travel, the City Notebooks are a decent marriage between the two. Just realize that you'll have to do some extra research before you arrive, since pertinent tour information is not given within. Personally, I'm eager for the Singapore City Notebook, since I've now lived here for six weeks and am a bit more comfortable getting around; still, it's a big city, and the maps would be especially handy in pocket-sized format.
Hi Jason! Do you know if the Singapore city notebook is currently available?


Roy Hodgson admitted his "devastation" after Uruguay's 2-1 win left England on the brink of an early World Cup exit.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring in the second half but England were on course for a draw after Wayne Rooney equalised from close range late in the game. But with six minutes remaining, Suarez pounced on Steven Gerrard's mistake in midfield and netted his second to leave England bottom in Group D without a point after two games, following defeat to Italy in the opener.
"We're more than disappointed, we're devastated," said the England coach told ITV.
"We believed we could do enough to get a result in this game and having worked so hard to counter that first goal in the first half, to get back to 1-1, we fully believed we'd go on to win or at least draw.
"So to concede the second goal was an unbelievable blow. I don't quite know what to say at this time.
England now need to beat Costa Rica in their final group game to stand any chance of reaching the knockout phase, and will only then climb out of Group D if Italy win their remaining two games.
And Hodgson admitted a lack of cutting edge in front of goal has cost his side in the tournament so far.
"His [Suarez's] first goal was exceptionally good, Cavani's cross and a fine header. Second, he was a bit fortunate to get free but when he did he made no mistake. We know what he can do," he said.

Q: Compose key doesn't work in Geany (20.04.1 LTS)
I've set a compose key using the tweaks tool, and in most applications it works great.
However, in Geany, pressing that key makes the application window flash briefly, and nothing else happens. This happens no matter which key I assign in the tweaks tool (I've tried both alts, both controls, and capslock so far).
Is there a way to fix or work around this? Or do I need to switch to a new IDE?

A: This is the same issue reported here and also here. As jpralves says in the first thread:

Solved by running geany with the following command: GDK_BACKEND=x11 geany
It seems to be a problem with wayland gdk.

And this does indeed fix the issue! Compose key working fine again.

After reading Runaway Inequality, what next?
We asked some Reversing Runaway Inequality trainers for their suggestions.
Margarita Hernandez said: "There is a huge tax fight right now that folks should plug into. It's not enough they learn about runaway inequality but now it's time for them to step up to fight back. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders talk about the plan in a video here.
Cesar Leyva added: "I agree with Margarita about the Take on Wall Street. It's a very clear and easy ask of folks.
She should try to spin off an umbrella group in her town that deals with economic justice and the fight to reverse runaway inequality. She can hold monthly meetings, potluck, movie nights, lobby visits, etc.
Michael Merrill said: "Yes, of course, action. Plugging into fight back efforts is good and, fortunately, there seem to be a lot right now. Our Revolution. The Resistance.MoveOn.org. Etc.

Q: Why isn't telligent's RSS.Net fork parsing dates? I'm using Telligent's RSS.Net fork to parse an XML Stream.  The stream is well-formed and most of the desired elements are being parsed, but for some reason the pubData element isn't.
Inspecting the feed contents shows the pubData element nicely displayed, no issues with the RSS or the element contents.  But... As I said, no parsing, either.  Inspecting in Visual Studio shows:
PubDate = {1/01/0001 12:00:00 AM}

Which is clearly not the case and suspiciously generic for an plain incorrect parse, so I suspect it's just failing outright and defaulting to the NYE culmination, 1 (Grab the nearest hot person, quick!  *{Snog}*)
The feeds I'm trying to parse are Google News feeds, so I'd like to assume they're working correctly.

A: Aha!
On a hunch I checked through the RSSReader code, and found that the date parsing, when dealing with a date that doesn't parse cleanly (Say, GMT+Offset):
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:34:56 GTM+10:00

Will remove the last 5 characters, leaving:
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:34:56 GTM+

Which make DateTime.Parse very very sad.
So, I'm going to alter the library to deal with the GMT time offset.

Here's how to make your team look their best!
1. SCHEDULING: Schedule all employees' photos at same time to get consistent lighting. Company meetings are the easiest way to do so.
2. CAMERA: Using a professional photographer is best. You can easily find one online or ask a friend with a knack for taking great pictures. Perhaps try a photography center like Sears or JCPenny.
If you choose to do your own photography, we suggest you use a digital camera with at least 8 Megapixels resolution.
3. BACKGROUND: Take photos on a light colored solid background, such as a blank wall. White is best.
4. LIGHTING: Avoid shadows in the background by not using a built-in flash, and make sure the area is well lit. Take special care to make sure face is well lit. We do not suggest taking photos outside. But if you do, do not take in direct, bright sunlight or shadows. Diffused light is preferred to avoid over or under exposure.
5. CLOTHING: Employees should wear a clean uniform, preferably with your company logo. Have badges? Wear them.
6. PREPARATION: Employees should be clean cut and clean shaven. Shaving the night before is recommended. They need to look friendly, clean, and professional.
7. POSE: Preferred pose is slightly 1/4 turned body, face directly at camera. If uniforms have a flag or logo on their sleeve turn that side toward camera. Smile!
8. FRAMING: Take close up head shots just below the shoulders so customers can clearly see your employee's beautiful face.
9. SHOOT: Take some test shots to make sure lighting is good. Not too much shadow, not too much highlight. Take multiple shots and choose the best one of each employee.

The European Commission has analysed the impact of the economic crisis on road transport, but the sector and the European economy need action fast. IRU Vice President highlighted to the EU and National authorities a six-point recovery plan which must be implemented without delay.
Brussels - Today, the European Commission hosted a high level hearing on the impact of the economic crisis on road transport. The IRU welcomes this meeting and the recently published analysis from the Commission of how severely the recession has hit road transport companies. It is now obvious that a contracting economy, a corresponding collapse in transport demand, the freezing of credit and increased operating costs have led to an unprecedented wave of bankruptcies and job losses that threaten not only the future of the sector, but also efficient EU goods distribution and mobility.
According to Michael Nielsen, IRU General Delegate to the EU, "the time for analysis and debate has passed. The IRU has made a number of proposals to the European Institutions and national governments to alleviate its impact. What we need now is a coordinated recovery plan from the Commission and concrete measures from Member States to help solve the crisis in road transport".
Reduce costs by not creating any new taxes and environmental charges such as the proposed third Eurovignette Directive and by reducing current charges and fuel taxes.
Restore credit by encouraging financial institutions to re-open credit options to road transport companies and allow moratoriums on debt.
Revise insolvency rules to allow a reduction of capacity instead of company liquidation.
Protect the free movement of goods and provision of services within the EU's internal market and facilitate trade and road transport with third countries through Annex 8 of the UN Convention on the harmonisation of frontier controls of goods, by having authorities implement the IRU's TIR Electronic Pre-declaration (EPD) and Border Waiting Times Observatory (BWTO) modern IT facilitation tools.
Protect workers by ensuring that all EU governments adopt "economic unemployment" schemes that enable skilled labour to be put on "inactive" status rather that lose their jobs.
Reinvest in road infrastructure to reduce unnecessary costs and give financial incentives to companies to invest in new, safe and clean vehicle technologies.
Mr Padrosa concluded: "the sector faces unprecedented economic challenges which it is struggling to overcome. Road transport must be central to the global economic recovery plan since any penalty on road transport will be a penalty on economic recovery and every facilitation of road transport will stimulate a faster economic recovery.
Banks have received huge financial assistance because they are considered vital to the economy. But if banks cease to exist, trade will continue. If road transport was to cease to exist trade and the economy would come to a grinding halt!

21316 The Flintstones Review
Posted on July 28, 2019 July 28, 2019 by John
Theme: LEGO Ideas
Cost: AU $99.99
Pieces: 458
As you will probably know by now, I'm a big fan of LEGO Ideas. It's a theme that includes some of my all time favourite sets, with interesting build techniques and concepts that would not normally come with a standard LEGO set. Does 21316 The Flintstones rate with the big ones? Read on to find out.
Firstly, there's the original submission on LEGO Ideas. The submission, by Andrew Clark, had a brilliant amount of detail, including some serious shaping on the house, and some different internal details. There was also a driveway section, a Welcome to Bedrock sign, and most importantly, the kids – Pebbles and Bamm Bamm. There was a lot to like about this submission, and after a year and a bit it was approved. A blazingly fast four months later, it hit shelves.
Inside the box (a beautiful flip-top lidded box, standard to LEGO Ideas sets), you'll find six numbered bags and an instruction manual. As is also common to LEGO Ideas sets, the instructions also include information about the classic cartoon, and bios on Andrew, and the designers – Ricardo Silva and Crystal Fontan.
There's four minifigures included – Fred and Wilma Flintstone, and Barney and Betty Rubble. The printing on the minifigures is beautiful, and in the case of Fred and Barney, very clever. LEGO minifigures famously don't have noses, and this is still the case with Fred and Barney, but there's the illusion of noses, thanks to the outline of their stubble. The one omission is that Barney has full size legs, and not the new 3/4 length, which would have been perfect for him.
Wilma and Betty also look the part, with their iconic dresses and shaped hairpieces. These are excellent inclusions. Both ladies have double sided face prints, both with happy prints on one side, and a concerned look for Wilma, and a laugh for Betty on the reverse.
There's a few nice element inclusions here, but nothing that's brand new and unique to the set, aside from the cloth roof covering of the car. I think this is a big improvement from the LEGO Ideas submission, and while it lacks a roof rack, it looks much cleaner and more appropriate. There's also a few rarities, like the cloud plate with 4 studs, previously seen as the minifigure base for the UniKitty! collectible series, and the tan half-cylinders used in the wheels of the car. There's a few nice printed elements as well as the lavender triple leaf studs, to name a few.
By itself, the car is a beauty. Yes, there's a few little colour issues in the wheels, but it's cute and is unmistakable. It's also a very simple build, coming together rather quickly. The roof is added very neatly and I was very excited to get more wood grain round tiles. It's also a big bonus that all four minifigures can fit in the car at the same time, and is as easy as tilting the roof back. The added detail of the brontosaurus ribs as well as the purple plate just like the show's original intro was awesome.
On to the house. To be honest, I was underwhelmed. It all begins on some green baseplates, with a tan interior section. The walls (all completely flat in light bluish grey) start to rise, and it's not very exciting.
The right hand side of the house has a chimney with some round tiles to make it appear like it's built out of small rocks, but even this is repetitive, building the same panel three times and inverting one before attaching to a SNOT column.
There's rounded sides on the left and right as well. I like the open-able sections at the back, but the sections of light bluish grey tile in amongst the tan plates are odd.
The interior is (thankfully) much more exciting. With curtains, a sink (I think), a couch, TV, coffee table, lamp, bowling pin set and telephone, as well as the all important door, the inside doesn't look that bad. There's not a lot of room, but it's still good fun.
The couch isn't overly exciting, but the TV, complete with a news image of a missing Dino (he still made it), and the coffee table in particular is nicely designed. I initially had no idea what the phone was meant to be. It's not as obvious as the other elements, although the use of the croissant in white is very clever.
The curtains are very simple and look good from the front, but from the back they're a bit strange. The door looks great, but I don't know why they only went with one central clip on the wall instead of two. There's a slight wiggle.
The palm tree is very well done, but is strange that it's growing out of a rock. The coconuts using minifigure heads are a nice touch.
Lastly is the roof. With slopes, plates and tiles, with a bit of SNOT work at the front and a gap at the side for the chimney, it sits loose, but clips in at the same time. There are SNOT plates next to the chimney that hook around a plate, with the opposite on the other side. It's clever and very effective.
The final detail is the letterbox. It's slightly irritating that it's not attached to the house. Having tiny satellite builds separate is a little frustrating for display purposes. It tends to get lost. It would have been reasonably simple to attach it.
Overall, it's really just the front facade that fails this for me. There was so much more realism in the project submission, thanks to the rounded edges at the front.
While it's not as pretty to look at as the original submission, it's a bit of fun to play with. Re-enacting classic Flintstones scenes will be pretty easy, but not as easy as it would have been if it had included Pebbles and Bamm Bamm, and definitely Dino. The car certainly helps things playwise.
While very collectible, especially for Flintstones fans, I'm not convinced it will retain it's value for money in the long term. For AU $100, it's not bad. The grey elements, while a little on the dull side, are still very versatile, and there's some other good inclusions, so it's a good buy. The build and design is where it lets itself down, but it's still a good inclusion, even if it's only for the fact that it's unique.
If you had never seen the original submission before, I reckon you'd be pretty happy, but for those of us that have, it could have been so much more.

I'll admit, Burlap is not generally the first material I think of when making a sunglasses case. But this burlap sunglasses case is lined with felt to make it super soft. And, since the outside is made of textured burlap, it is easy to find even at the bottom of an untidy purse or beach bag.
This craft is part of Craft Lightning Week! You may have noticed all week long that my friends Angie, Beth and I have been sharing burlap crafts. And we've invited our crafty friends to join in! So be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of this page to check out the fun crafts that they have made with Burlap. As an added bonus, any of these crafts can be made in 15 minutes or less!
Fold the felt, and cut to fit larger than the sunglasses.
Cut enough burlap to cover.
Stitch along 3 sides, leaving the top open.
Flip the top edge over about 1/2″, and pin in place.
Stitch the top edge down, carefully removing the pins and being careful not to stitch over them.
Your burlap sunglasses case is complete!

Wage subsidy will be extended until December amid post-COVID reopening: Trudeau
Trudeau said the extension will 'give greater certainty and support to businesses'
The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy will be extended until December as the country's economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Trudeau announced Monday (July 13).
Trudeau said the extension of the $82 billion program will "give greater certainty and support to businesses" through the fall and winter.
The wage subsidy provides employers with up to $847 each week per worker to help with wages, or up to 75 per cent of weekly pay for each worker, for businesses that have lost up to 30 per cent of their revenues due to COVID-19. The program had been set to expire at the end of August prior to the extension.
So far, approximately 11 million people have received either the wage subsidy or the federal government's $2,000 per month emergency response benefit (CERB). In the past, federal ministers have admitted that the $2,000 per month benefit for out-of-work Canadians has had a much higher uptake than the wage subsidy program.
As of early July, the wage subsidy had paid out $18.01 billion to 252,370 companies in payroll help.In comparison, CERB paid out $54.8 billion to 8.25 million people by July 5.
The emergency response benefit is set to run out at the end of the summer.

Review: Uncharted - The Lost Legacy
The Uncharted series of video games are pretty much movies with a choose-your-own-action-sequence game mechanic. Uncharted: The Last Legacy doesn't deviate from the series' charter, and was originally conceived as downloadable content for Uncharted 4, but turned into a game.
As with Uncharted 4, the graphics and art direction is gorgeous. The run time is about 10 hours, but features perfect pacing, switching from traversal to exploration to the usual gun fights, feels like a much shorter game, which is a very good sign. You're never tired from overuse of any of the game mechanics, and no, Nathan Drake never shows up as part of the game.
The story is basically that of a buddy movie, with female protagonists instead of male ones. Yes, the game passes the Bechdel test. The plot is rather thin, with a MacGuffin, the usual action set pieces (which are fun to watch and play), and a large open-world-style exploration area. The puzzles are usually no challenge, but even if they were, the game detects your level of frustration and lets you skip those.
Lots of game critics complain about game length being short. I don't. A short game length means that I'll actually get to play the game to the end. That's a feature, not a bug. As such, this game comes highly recommended as one of the few games I actually finished this year.

Review: A Mind at Play - How Claude Shannon Invent...


On the fourth of this month [December], we commemorate the Holy Great Martyr Barbara.
Who was another Abraham, but of the devil.
On the fourth Barbara was beheaded by the hands of her father.
She lived during the reign of Emperor Maximian (286-305), and was the daughter of a Greek pagan. Hailing from the East, she was kept in a high tower, due to the beauty of her physical blossoming. Therefore this revered virgin was taught piety by God. Wherefore she revered Christ secretly, but she was unable to hide it from her impious father. He discovered this about her when he requested for two windows for the bath he had built, and the Saint instead requested for three windows, which happened. He then asked her, "For what reason did you have three windows constructed?" He learned from her, that she had them made in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. When this barbarian heard this, he set in motion to have her killed with his own sword.
Because the Saint ran away, and upon leaving she entered into a rock, which in a strange manner split apart and received her, for this reason her father chased after her. When he found her, by means of an informer, he forcefully captured her by the hairs of her head. He then brought her and handed her over to the ruler of that land. The Saint confessed Christ before him, and she spoke ill against the idols. For this she was beaten harshly, and her flesh was torn and her sides were burnt. Then she was hit over the head with a hammer and stripped naked, and like this she was paraded around the city and beaten. Finally she was beheaded by the hands of her own father. Of him it is said, that upon slaying his daughter, and descending the mountain where this took place, he was struck by lightning from above. In this way his defiled soul departed.
Let us praise holy Barbara who has broken the snares of the enemy. By the help of the weapon of the Cross she has escaped as a bird and flown Godwards.
Great Martyr Barbara, you did follow Him Who is praised in Trinity, having abandoned the idols' shrines. You did strive in the midst of the arena, not shrinking from the tyrants' threats. You did cry out in a strong voice: I worship the Trinity, the One Divinity.

Traveling as a couple can be tough. No matter how much you love each other, there will always be times when you end up frustrating each other.
But, traveling as a couple is also one of the most amazing things you can do. It strengthens your relationship to no end and lets you create incredible memories together.
So how do you make sure you don't end up killing each other by the end of day 3? Whether you're trekking in the jungle, or plan to enjoy a sunny holiday in Crete, use these tips for traveling with your partner in the best possible way.
Nothing spells love more than a pre-wedding photo shoot; a session that you book with your photographer a couple of months before the wedding.
Not to be confused your engagement photos, pre wedding shoots are a great opportunity to eliminate any camera nerves you might have about posing for photos, get a hair and make-up trial, and create some beautiful images that can be used in your invitations, wedding album, or maybe even a slideshow on the actual day.
But what makes the experience considerably more unique is shooting your pre-wedding photos in an exotic location on the other side of the world!
The following are some of the most beautiful places in the world that act as stunning frames and backdrops for your love!
You've decided that the two of you need some time away. You may have already renewed your vows and committed to each other. You've even gone so far as to go to ItsHot.com and found the perfect renewal bands.
Ask any international wine buff about Australian wine and you'll probably see them cringe. Which is usually because when people think of wine and Australia they conjure up images of the cute little "critters" that often find their way onto our bottle stickers.
But there is much more to Australian wine than the cute yellow kangaroo and wombat labels will have you believe, and a visit to Australia's wine growing regions will open your mind and your taste buds to new adventures.
While Australia's largest wine regions can be found in South Australia (Barossa Valley) and Victoria (Yarra Valley), if you journey just 2.5 hours North of Sydney you will arrive in the beautiful Hunter Valley.
This region is unique, not only for its hot climate, but can also lay claim to the title of Australia's oldest wine producing region. Vineyards that were planted in the 1860s still produce wine today with vines as old as 60 years still producing fruit. Put simply, the Hunter Valley is the birthplace of Australian wine.
Weddings are a wonderful time of celebration, and should be one of the most unforgettable events of your life. But if there's one event more memorable than your wedding day, it should be the honeymoon!
If you're tossing up between an unforgettable honeymoon and the value of the diamond ring, it could be a tough choice in deciding which one should win.
But with the aim of strengthening the bonds of togetherness and marriage, perhaps one of the following destinations will inspire you!
Whoever coined the phrase "Life's a Beach" most definitely came up with it while relaxing on the glistening white sands of the Dominican Republic. This paradise in the Caribbean is the quintessential post card beach shot that we all yearn to escape to.
The Dominican Republic not only shares its tropical island oasis of Hispaniola with Haiti, but also invites any and all who wish to come and experience its treasures. Your escape from reality begins in Punta Cana which lies at the island's eastern tip. Here you will find your home away from home, albeit a much more luxurious version with a slightly better view.
Whether your aim is to simply relax away the days in pure bliss or experience adventures from sunrise to sunset, you just can't go wrong with Punta Cana. All inclusive resorts in Punta Cana offer literally everything under the sun, and the sun itself! It's no wonder why Punta Cana International is consistently one of the busiest Caribbean airports.
When it comes to choosing a honeymoon destination or a vacation spot for a romantic trip with your loved one, you're spoiled for choice, with amazing countries all around the world to choose from.

Having a wedding in your hometown is a very convenient option; you know many vendors and venues, can select among a great variety of offers, and plan the wedding on any budget.

5 Reasons Cryptocurrencies Are Here to Stay
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are constantly criticized, and their demise is forecasted and heralded on a daily basis. But it's been nearly a decade since the first Bitcoin was mined, and the crypto movement is larger than ever before, even if the value of coins continues to fluctuate. As it stands, cryptocurrency is still a very volatile asset, but traditional finance theorists who predict it will disappear entirely are way off the mark. Here's why.
1. Governments Are Embracing Crypto
The global financial system is ripe for disruption. Many leaders of foreign nations have expressed resentment over the control that central banks have over finance, and in particular, over the fact that the US dollar is the biggest global reserve currency. Crypto offers them the chance to escape the control of these banks and detach from the dollar. Russia has discussed creating a currency with Brazil, China, India, and others that would encompass 40 percent of the world's population. Once the adoption of crypto becomes entrenched in official government policy, particularly in countries that enormous, it will be tough to get rid of.
2. Blockchain Tech Is Everywhere
The technology that makes Bitcoin's decentralized, encrypted operation possible is useful for all sorts of other things. In October 2017, 16% of companies had purchased blockchain tools, while 22% were developing their own, and those numbers have grown. It's being used to verify digital identities, track financial assets and transactions, and manage inventory in industries like shipping. Blockchain is even coming to the voting booth: a number of startups are exploring using blockchain for more verifiable and secure elections.
3. Major Companies Are Accepting Crypto
Overstock.com is one of many major online retailers that are now accepting cryptocurrency, in their case through a digital exchange called ShapeShift. Tools like these are making it easier for businesses to accept payments in cryptocurrency, a vital step toward mainstream acceptance. You can use Bitcoin on Expedia and even PayPal. Don't be surprised to see point of sale systems that accept crypto introduced in physical retail locations within the next year.
4. Tech Is Making Crypto More Accessible
Apps like Coinbase have made it so crypto is easier to get in to for people outside the tech nerd subculture. Casual investors can now speculate on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, even if they'd be hard pressed to explain what a blockchain is or why it's important.
5. Crypto Has Room to Grow
With a global market cap of under a trillion dollars, crypto still represents less than 1% of the world's total wealth. It hasn't even come close to reaching its full potential, and it's likely that the spikes and craters of 2017 and 2018 will be looked back on as relatively minor in comparison to the steep gains (and losses) to come. Global investment in crypto is on the rise, and that won't slow down. In fact, a massive financial catastrophe and huge inflation might actually boost crypto, as people recognized the necessity of decentralized money.
Don't believe the hype about cryptocurrency fading into oblivion. More and more businesses, governments, and investors are getting on board with "future money" every day, and that shows no signs of stopping.

Senate confirms President Buhari's nominees to head NHRC, NERC
Yemisi Adeolu
The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Anthony Ojukwu as the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
The confirmation was made after the Senate considered a report from the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, David Umaru (APC, Niger East).
President Muhammadu Buhari had in December 2017, written to the Senate to request the confirmation of the appointment.
The Senate also confirmed James Momoh as Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) after considering a report read by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy, Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP, Abia South).
Mr Buhari nominated Mr Momoh for the position in April last year, but his approval was delayed.
The president earlier nominated a US-based Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Akintunde Akinwande, who rejected the appointment.
Mr Akinwande failed to appear before the Senate and also before the State Security Services (SSS). He was eventually replaced.

In Bob Rafelson's 1970 movie "Five Easy Pieces," Jack Nicholson's character, Robert Eroica Dupea, gives up a career as a promising classical pianist to work on an oil rig and live a thoroughly blue-collar existence with a waitress. This is by way of indicating that you don't have to be a teenager to rebel but it helps. Get that furious opposition to authority out of your system so you'll be free to sell out like the rest of us normal people. In Burr Steers' "Igby Goes Down" which Steers began as a novel and who then, two years into the project realized he could define his characters better in a visual medium the title character, Jason "Igby" Slocumb Jr. could almost give Robert Dupea some lessons in rebellion.
As portrayed by the remarkable Kieran Culkin, Jason so nicknamed because of a stuffed toy whose name he mispronounced as Igby is a 17-year-old kid; smart, with a biting tongue and the ability to use his sharp wit to parry the thrusts of anyone older than he, whether the opposition is his slightly older brother Oliver (Ryan Phillippe) or a superannuated reverend who runs a strict school near Igby's toney Connecticut nabe.
Sporting a cast of some of filmdom's most honored performers, including Jeff Goldblum as Igby's godfather D.H. Baines, Claire Danes as Igby's would-be girl friend Sookie Sapperstein, Susan Sarandon as the teenager's distant mother Mimi, and Ryan Phillippe as his Ivy-League educated brother, "Igby Goes Down" shows us above all what we suspected all along: that families contain members who are so different from one another that you'd scarcely believe there are just six degrees of separation between the youngest kid and the oldest granddaddy. While coming-of-age tales of teen angst and are abundant in literature and the screen Holden Caulfield's supercilious anomie in J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" being, of course, the best known by today's high-school kids Steers in some ways one-ups the great Mr. Salinger in his remarkably entertaining, sincere, authentic, even gripping yarn about a kid whose ups and downs sometimes appear to be happening regardless of his manifold experiences with others.
To prove that material goods do not buy happiness but rather, that money can, and should, allow its possessor freely to choose the sort of life he wants to lead, Steers hones in on Igby, a poor little rich boy whose mother, however distant, will not leave him alone. She chooses the boy's schools; she makes little effort to see why the young man repeatedly flunks out. Mimi Slocumb, afflicted with breast cancer and determined to cast Jason as a reflection of herself, simply listens to complaints of the headmaster of a church-supported school, takes the boy out of the academy, and puts him into a military institution. Needless to say Igby hates the idiotic regimentation, and literally "goes down" when some moronic upperclassmen beat him with broomsticks in an incident that recalls the New York police beating of Abner Louima. Inundated with experiences of early failure, Igby is determined to bop around from one experience to another, hoping to accumulate enough empirical knowledge to help him rise to life's occasion.
Steers peppers the movie with sharp dialogue, mostly from the mouth of Kieran Culkin, younger brother of the 22-year-old Macaulay and older sib of Rory Culkin (who appears in the film as Igby's younger self). Sitting in the office of the headmaster- reverend of a school from which he is to be expelled, he wonders aloud, "If heaven is so great, why is the crucifixion such a terrible sacrifice?" Later the slightly older woman (Claire Danes) whom he meets while she is on leave from Bennington to "get her life together," chastises him: "You're a furious boy. Eventually you won't be a boy and it will eat you up." When his mom, who will reveal a special secret to Igby later in the movie remarks, "His creation was an act of animosity. Why should his life be?" we can see how the lad can grow to hate his mother and why in addition he blames her for the growing schizophrenia of his old-money dad (played in a too-small role by Bill Pullman).
In a film released shortly before this one, "One-Hour Photo," Robin Williams' lonely character looks with envy and longing at a seemingly warm, comfortable family who appear to have everything that he does not. Appearances, however, are as illusory as the photos that peek out from the little envelopes in the photos shops or on the CD's in the computer. Money does not help when one person loses most of it through schizophrenia, as does Jason Slocum in Steers' film, or when you're on the brink of losing your life like Mimi Slocumb, or when you're a self-made millionaire like Jeff Goldblum's D.H. with a wife who is, as Igby puts it, "no longer the sharpest tool in the shed" and whose trophy girl friend betrays him with an unlikely suitor. Nor is Igby's well-dressed, well-spoken, young republican in the shape of Igby's older brother Oliver too pleased with himself. He wants money, lots of it, but he knows at heart that he's a phony and that he will have to betray his identity to earn it.
"Igby Goes Down" is a complex interplay of family neuroses made to look oh so easy by the talented Mr. Steers, and should any in the audience feel that his story speaks personally to him that you were forced to attend schools you hated and to study for a career you had no use for or that you cannot get over your hatred for one or both parents that's all to the good.


I do not have an idealized writing space. At all. I mean, I don't have a space-- I have two rolling bags that serve as my rolling-office. Now, I do have mobility, and that can be great. I can work anywhere. Coffee shop. Book store. Back of the car. Right now I'm on the walking desk in the bedroom, which is the most "permanent" workspace I have. But I share the walking desk with my wife-- because we both need it and enjoy it. And it's less than ideal.
For one, it's in the bedroom, which isn't great working energy if you can avoid it. I mean, like I said, I can work anywhere and do, but if you are going to craft an ideal space, it's a space that is explicitly for working. The space serves that purpose alone.
First is the desk. It needs to be large enough to have the laptop and a couple notebooks spread out. I need to be able to work on the computer and work by hand on it, sometimes back and forth at the same time. Also, good legroom underneath. I've learned the hard way that that is critical.
Next, the chair needs to be right. I've had a lot of bad chairs. Good back support for long hours sitting in it.
Third, a separate chair for reading. That's a comfy, lounging chair. Or maybe a small couch.
One wall is windows with good natural light. One wall is bookshelves. One wall is white boards, corkboards, maps- a space to plan out the work in a large format.
Enough floor space to pace around, lay out notecards on the floor.
And a door that stays shut when I'm working.
That's what would be ideal for me.
For now-- work wherever. Work however. The work is what matters, not the space.
But the space would be nice.
