Mauritius: The Drivers of Growth – Can the Past Be Extended?
Title variants
Languages of publication
Mauritius's economic performance since its independence has been called "the Mauritian miracle" and the "success of Africa" (Romer, 1992; Frankel, 2010; Stiglitz, 2011). However, the future growth potential is more uncertain. In this paper, we use growth accounting to analyze the sources of past growth and project potential ranges of future growth through 2033 under various policies. Growth averaged 4½ percent over the past 20 years. Our baseline suggests future growth rates around 3¼ percent, but growth could reach 4–5 percent with strong pro-active policies including (i) improving investment and savings rates; (ii) improving the efficiency of social spending and public enterprise reforms; (iii) investment in education and education reforms; (iii) labor market reforms; and (iv) further measures to reduce bottlenecks and increase productivity. With policies capable of generating 5 percent growth, Mauritius could reach high-income status in 2021, 4 years earlier than under the baseline.

text: I did a watercolour painting of our cockatiels, Georgie and Patch, a couple of years ago - you can see it here. Sadly, in 2016, Georgie passed away, and we subsequently welcomed a new cockatiel to our little family, JayJay. This, of course, meant we needed another painting! This painting is more informal than the last one - I wanted to give the impression of feathers rather than using precise brush strokes, and I wanted some splatter going on! Despite this, it really captures the two of them nicely.

MUMBAI: It might be a first time that a Bollywood actor has publicly and bravely spoken about the Syrian crisis.
Actress Esha Gupta has spoken against the ongoing crisis in Syria. The Commando 2 and Rustom actress took to Twitter to says that humanity and children are dying and it needs to stop.
"I don't care which country or religion or government I have, humanity is dying.
The children are dying and it needs to stop, now Syria is bleeding," the Bollywood damsel tweeted alongside a heart-wrenching photograph of an injured Syrian child.
I don't care which country or religion or government I have, humanity is dying. The children are dying and it needs to stop,now #SyriaIsBleeding pic.twitter.com/8EVPXgcScT

Many appreciated Esha's stand, but there also a majority of Twitteratis who chose to slammed the actor's viewpoint and trolled her.
Please keep quit and wishes sridevi
— Yash Agarwal (@YashAga33557435) February 25, 2018
In 2011, more children under the age of five died in India than anywhere else in the world. That's 1.7 million children – over 4,650 child deaths a day – according to a new report by the United Nation's Children's Fund. India not too far you help here too. https://t.co/iAFovdWUce
— vinay verma (@vinaybunnybhai) February 27, 2018
Why don't you go to Syria and help them as much as you can? Sitting in the ac room and giving lecture is much easy,,,if I were you, I would go there and help them,,,,,
— AMARJEET KUMAR (@amarjeetkumar82) February 26, 2018
However, the actress knows what she is talking about and responded with sass.
Your dumbness is profound, there is a difference when you are KILLING them. That's the problem with you trollers, good for nothing, even in Humanity you see borders. Even for children you see religion. This is what is called the dark age. #HumanRightsDiedInSyria #PrayForSyria https://t.co/tXrjJ8et5J
— Esha Gupta (@eshagupta2811) February 27, 2018
Syrian government forces on Sunday continued their airstrikes and shelling of Eastern Ghouta, a rebel-held suburb of the capital Damascus, hours after the UN Security Council approved resolution demanding a 30-day nationwide cease-fire.
A week of intense attacks on Eastern Ghouta killed at least 510 people, including 127 minors, according to latest figures.
Here's what others who appreciated:
Thanks for atleast saying something, others seem to have taken a blindness pill or something

Borrego Springs - LA Times, Painful Truth
Last updated 5/12/2016 at 8:45am
'The water crisis in Borrego Springs is as simple to understand as it will be difficult to solve.
At the crux is farming. Borrego Springs water crisis begins and ends with farming'
The LA Times has once again picked up on the difficulties Borrego Springs is facing with a declining water table. What it shows, is a truth that many in Borrego are all ready witnessing.
When balancing economy with sustainability, there always has to be a loser, in this case it may end up being the residents themselves who come off worst, if the state implement their threats, which 'last year enacted laws aimed at communities that rely on underground water'.
'At the town hall, Borrego Water District President Beth Hart was asked what the chances are that farmers would cut back usage to anywhere close to the levels that will be needed.
"I wouldn't have had a good answer three years ago," Hart said.
That was when the state Department of Water Resources drew together the largest pumpers in the basin — farm owners, golf course heads, state park representatives, business owners and residents — a group that eventually called itself the Borrego Water Coalition.
Hart said initially the farmers' positions were intransigent.
"What we initially heard was that no one was going to do anything except sue somebody else," she said. "But what we found after talking with them is businesspeople — businesspeople [who want to either] continue their business or make themselves an exit strategy that would work."'

18:30 - 20:00 | Author(s): J.J. Bigda
- Abstract
- Presentation
- Slides
The benefit from postoperative chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is modest and there are no reliable tools allowing for individual selection of high-risk patients for this management. We earlier demonstrated that overexpression of three miRNAs: miR-662, -192 and -192* may correlate with the risk of distant relapse in squamous cell lung cancer (SCC) patients undergoing pulmonary resection (Skrzypski et al. 2014, Br J Cancer). However, the role of these miRNAs in maintaining aggressive phenotype and/or chemoresistance of SCC is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the biological role of three abovementioned miRNAs in SCC cells in vitro.
In the search for appropriate in vitro model we screened by reverse transcription quantitative PCR 11 NSCLC cell lines (H1703, H520, H662, SK-MES-1, A549, H23, H1975, HCC 827, PC9, H460 and Calu-6) for miRNA expression profiles and analyzed their phenotypic features including migration, invasion and clonogenic potential. H520 and H1703 SCC cell lines were transfected with locked nucleic acid miRNA inhibitors. The sensitivity of transfected and wild type cells to cisplatin and etoposide was compared using cytotoxic MTT test. Soft agar colony formation assay was performed to assess the clonogenic potential of transfected vs. non-transfected cells.
Among the analyzed NSCLC cell lines, H520 cells showed natural overexpression of miR-662, -192 and -192*. These cells were resistant to both chemotherapeutics and exhibited an ability to form colonies in soft agar. The inhibition of miR-662 and miR-192 sensitized these cells to etoposide (p=0.004 and 0.016, respectively) but not to cisplatin. Similar results were obtained for H1703 cells (p=0.002 and 0.02, respectively). H520 cells treated with miR-192 and miR-662 inhibitors, compared to negative control, also demonstrated reduced number of colonies in soft agar (p<0.001).
We developed and optimized a cellular model for in vitro studies of biological role of three prognostic miRNAs in SCC. Genes regulated by miR-662 and/or miR-192 may be involved in maintaining the chemoresistance and clonogenic potential of SCC, and these features may be inhibited in a miR-dependent specific manner. Further studies may elucidate predictive value of these genes and a possibility of their targeting with novel therapeutics.

Dead Like Me, the first in the Kate Springer Series, by Kelly Miller, was predictable but still good. It amazes me when I read a book with a detective who has baggage and a strong need to hide emotions that she or he gets as far as they do carrying what they have. Then the case in the book cracks the well-built facade just when the detective needs to be on their A game. I decided to give this book a chance and see how things would go. I know from similar books that sometimes an author can ignore the theme and still tell a good or even a great story.
Detective Kate Springer's facade cracks the moment she lays eyes on thirteen-year-old murder victim Kimberly Callahan, who looks almost exactly like she did at the same age. The sight of the deceased and the subsequent investigation opens the gates to memories long kept hidden. Kate was sexually abused when she was a child by a man her mother trusted to care for her child while she worked to support the two of them. His name was Robert White.
As Kate investigates Kimberly's death, she struggles with painful memories and turbulent emotions. Worse yet the man, who abused her, re-enters her life twenty years older than the last time she saw him. I feared between the victim looking so much like Kate and her struggle to fight her emotions over what happened to her in past that White would pop up, and he does.
Despite the predictable nature of the book, I couldn't help liking Dead Like Me and the way Miller educates the reader about abuse, alcoholism, and teenage behavior. She also did well getting the reader into the head of Kate and showing that even with her baggage she will survive and how she will.
While I quickly read this book all the way through, I am on the fence about if I would read another Kate Springer mystery. I worry that one called Deadly Fantasies could be just as easy to predict what will happen as Dead Like Me was and what turned out to be good won't be the case the second time.

Celebrate the run up to Christmas with these chic ways to countdown the advent.
Gone are the days of a cardboard advent calendar (remember those?) Today, its all about stationary, small toy or crafts hiding under those 24 little windows (or boxes) as they count down until the big day. Get a little head start with a few of our favourites - as you need to get your skates on - the best ones sell out fast!
The Melissa & Doug Countdown to Christmas Wooden Advent Calendar is a timeless keepsake that will delight children for years to come. With 24 magnetic baubles and a shining star for the top of the tree - small hands can re-arrange over and over again
KalenderHaus by Clever Gretal is a beautiful pre-baked gingerbread house that you put together and decorate each day of advent. And, hello how beautiful is the packaging for a start?
Presented in a keepsake wooden box. The inside of the box then becomes the advent calendar – where you can place the 24 pre-packed and numbered bags that contain a little treat to decorate your house with – and the lid is your cake board to build the house on. Still with us?
KalenderHaus also come with a pliable ready-made icing tub and icing bag – that you just need to load up and keep in fridge so it's ready to use each day when you need to 'glue' on or down either an edible treat or a special hand-selected decoration. Creative and editable come Christmas Eve. A win–win.
** New this year is the KalenderHaus II which is slightly less expensive but offers all of the above except for the wooden presentation box (comes in a card box) - or, is a great refill if you have the original.
Each year the Lego advent calendar offering gets bigger and bigger - and each promises to be as collectable as the next. If you have kids addicted to Lego (and who doesn't?) then they will enjoy a little daily 'buildable treat' and watching the Christmas scene come together in the festive run-up. We love this years LEGO City version
If you're more of a nativity fan than Lego fanatic, then a traditional calendar may be more your style. This gorgeous modern take on the nativity scene from Petit Collage is made from recycled card and includes pop-out pieces that fit together to make a bright 3D puzzle scene. Also comes in a winter wonderland version.
This Biscuiteers limited edition advent calendar has been hand-crafted and designed exclusively by Susie Watson. This investment buy will soon become part of your Christmas year after year with its cosy Christmas inspired artwork - cue picture perfect home surrounded by snow and trees, and of course, a snowman. With 24 little pockets to fill with sweets or treats - or, why not go for the full Biscuiteers experience and add its luxe advent calendar biscuit tin too?
It's by Maileg so of course it' s going to be adorable? Children will love this perfectly decorated little room/house with a cupboard, drawers, bedlinen and of course a little Maileg Pixi. Pixi sleeps all day, and at night creeps out to chalk the next days date (or days countdown) and hides a little gift or treat in his room for the littles to find. This could also work for counting down the days to birthday and special events.
We're big fans of Cotton Twist and its Make your Own personalised advent calendar kit contains everything kids need to create totally unique calendar with bakers twine and mini pegs to hang the stickered envelopes that can be filled with treats, messages, christmas activity ideas and chocolate coins. (Check out Cotton Twist site where there is a massive list of ideas to get you started.)
If you have a plain wall this Kidscapes Personalised Advent Calendar Tree wall Stickersadvent is ideal – and can also be considered part of your Christmas decor. A colourful tree wall sticker that can be personalised (on the tree pot and gifts) – with the idea to stick a new tree ornament on each day until you reach the star on the top. Great for the kitchen wall or kids bedrooms.
The Selfie Clothing Co.Colour In Christmas Advent Calendar will bring days of crafty Christmas fun colour. Coming with 8 fabric pens (and a practice sheet) this fabric printed calendar makes for a few minutes quiet each morning (or evening) as children can colour and create to their hearts content.
What's more we love that there is no waste as the fabric pens will be clipped together to form a rod, which is then inserted through the hem at the top of the calendar - allowing the calendar to be hung in the family home, making a display that children will be proud to show off! This can also be personalised for an extra special touch.
If you have managed to escape the Hatchimals craze then you can look away now. But, those those children obsessed with those cute little animal collectibles this is a Christmas miracle. The Hatchimals Colleggtibles Advent Calendar has over 50 surprises to discover with exclusive items that will delight fans aged 5+ long after the festive season.
Having recently scooped a Junior Design Award we were bound to love the PLAY in CHOC advent calendar. With 24 drawers each containing a 10g organic (and vegan friendly) chocolate with touch of coconut, a 3D puzzle and fun facts card. This environmentally responsible calendar then becomes an eco toy to play with on Christmas eve - just replace the drawers (back to font) to form a new picture and open out the outer sleeve to creat a landscape.
This fun Nativity Puppet advent calendar from Oxfam is perfect for the run up to Christmas for smaller children - and encourages storytelling and creativity. As each day of the advent features a fun eco certified card finger puppet from the Nativity story.
Fans of Schleich figures will delight at this advent especially horse and pony fans who will love these delightful hand-painted figures and accessories. Encouraging learning through imaginative play - and what's more it offers repeat play once the Christmas tree is down. There is also a dinosaur, wildlife and farm animals versions.
Literally! We just love this Reindeer Balloon Christmas Advent Calendar from Bubblegum Balloons. The kit includes a gold string of numbered reindeer faces and comes with pre-stuffed (with a chocolate) mini red balloon noses to burst.
Each ballon simply need inflating with a hand pump and its recommend to inflate them a week at a time to ensure the balloons give a satisfactory pop everyday throughout December
Launching it's first ever advent calendar White Stuff add a touch of childhood nostalgia with its vintage style Felt Advent Calendar. This fuzzy felt hanging calendar has 24 little pockets filled with a surprise character to add to the pom-pom baubles on the tree. The children will have fun re-arranging the decorations too!

Last Friday evening O and I checked out the ramen section of Daikaya in DC. Fun fact - I was born in Hokkaido, Japan, which is where the Sapporo-style ramen that Daikaya serves originates from.
...Aside from that, I had no idea what Sapporo-style ramen entailed because I don't recall ever having Sapporo ramen in Japan growing up haha.
I really liked the fun striped walls and minimalist lighting in the space, and it was packed with hungry ramen-lovers. Luckily we snagged two shared counter stools right before a rush of people that came in after us.
Aside from the four types of ramen (left side of the photo above), there were a number of additional toppings (red section on the bottom right, upside down), a side of gyoza (pork dumplings), and a few drinks as well.
Shoyu Ramen ($11.75)
I ordered the Shoyu ramen: Soy sauce ramen: pork, beef, & chicken stock / 1 slice chashu (roast pork), 1/2 nitamago (soy marinated egg), bean sprouts, ground pork, nori, scallions). I didn't make any additions or changes to the ramen on the menu, and I was really happy with what I got. The broth was super flavorful and rich without tasting greasy. Lots of times you'll get a slick of oil pooling on the top of the broth, but this had none of that excess oil at all. The egg was perfectly cooked, with a custardy yolk in the middle. Coming from someone that doesn't really love eggs, I can definitely say this one was worth having. The noodles were springy and chewy, and didn't get mushy like they sometimes can after sitting in the broth for a while. I loved the addition of ground pork and I will definitely be copying that idea when I make ramen at home, haha.
I am by no means an expert on Sapporo-style ramen, but as someone that grew up eating LOTS of Japanese ramen, this is a welcome addition to the DC food scene. I look forward to visiting again soon to try their other flavors, although I will likely keep coming back to this Shoyu version knowing my tastes. This will also be a great "holdover" for their upstairs section to open, to try out the dishes they will be serving there!

Wright State basketball coaches knew they'd be in a fight to land Tim Finke once he announced he was transferring from Grand Canyon, and they went the extra mile — extra miles, actually — to show him he was a priority.
They took a trip to Phoenix to meet with the freshman guard during a break from classes, making an effective pitch there, and they also hit a home run while getting more acquainted with the player and his family at their home in Champaign, Ill.
But though Finke warmed to coach Scott Nagy and his assistants and found the Raiders' style of play ideal — they run a motion offense that creates plenty of open looks for shooters — he wasn't quite ready to sign until spending a couple of days on campus.
»RELATED: 'Very high expectations' for WSU in 2019-20
"On my visit, it checked off every box for me," he said. "The staff has always been really, really good. They were incredible then, too. The facilities were better than I even expected. They had said great things about them, and it's really nice to see all of that. Then I got to hang out with some of the guys."
He was hosted by the affable Loudon Love, the All-Horizon League center, and hobnobbed with other Raiders.
"They were really genuine and really good guys," said Finke, who lives just down the street from Nagy's boyhood home in Champaign.
"To be surrounded by great people on a team is something that was big for me. I feel like they definitely fit the part."
The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Finke, who played in all 34 games with three starts for Grand Canyon last season, became the second transfer to sign with the Raiders last week. And the other, former Northwestern guard Jordan Ash, believes he found everything on his wish list, too.
Unlike Finke, who will have to sit out next year because of transfer rules, Ash will be eligible immediately as a grad transfer, having earned his degree in communications with a long-term plan to get into broadcasting.
He was a team captain as a senior last season, but he played in only 10 games because of a quad injury and was granted a medical redshirt year.
"The most important thing for me was to get my degree from Northwestern," he said. "But this fifth year is a basketball decision to go somewhere I would be comfortable and could showcase my abilities while also playing around good players.
»RELATED: Former Wright State coach finds new gig in WAC
"More than anything, I just wanted a fresh start, a new beginning. After four years, being under a system — and not saying anything negative about Northwestern — I think it was time to move on."
While the 6-3, 200-pound Ash was deciding to relocate, he received valuable input from former Wright State coach Billy Donlan, who was an assistant at Northwestern before becoming the head coach at UMKC in March.
"I asked him about the area and what he really liked about the school. He had all good things to say," Ash said.
"It's always a new system when you switch coaches, but coach Nagy still had some of his guys on the team. That culture overlapped, and I knew there would be some similarities there. It was important to talk to him because he had a perspective that was better than anyone else I could talk to."
In the last two years, the Raiders have won a regular-season league title and conference tournament and played in the NCAA tourney and NIT. And their winning ways seem to be opening doors they couldn't get through before.
Finke was rated as the No. 2 recruit in Illinois and 27th-best shooting guard in the nation in the Class of 2018 by ESPN.com. And Ash, a Bolingbrook, Ill., native, was a coveted recruit who had scholarship offers from Purdue, Xavier and DePaul.
"I like to call myself a winner, so I wanted to go someplace where they can win, and they've proven that," said Finke, who averaged 3.5 points with a high of 14 against Utah while helping the Antelopes to a 20-14 record. "They've had dominance in the league, and to be able to help with that will be fun. That's something that stood out to me."
Ash, who competed against Raider point guard Cole Gentry in high school, is battle-tested, having played in 88 games with six starts for Northwestern. His career high is 11 points.
But after reaching the NCAA tourney for the first time in school history in 2017, the Wildcats have gone 15-17 and 13-19 the last two years.
Playing for a league title contender next season was too enticing to pass up.
"I just wanted to go somewhere that had a winning culture and where I also could get better as a player and person and put myself in position to have a great fifth year," he said.

Reince Priebus, Donald Trump's beleaguered chief of staff, is officially out. The U.S. president took to Twitter on Friday evening to announce that his new chief of staff will be John F. Kelly, who is currently serving as the Secretary of Homeland Security.
"I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American …," Trump tweeted to his more than 34 million followers, "… and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security."
Trump added: "He has been a true star of my Administration."
About Priebus, he wrote, "I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!"
According to the Department of Defense, the four-star Marine general, 67, was born and raised in Boston, "enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1970, and was discharged as a sergeant in 1972, after serving in an infantry company with the 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina."
After graduating from the University of Massachusetts in 1976, he became an officer in the Marine Corps. He served in various positions with the U.S. military over the years, including as Special Assistant to the Supreme Allied Commander in Belgium. He returned to the U.S. in 2001, becoming a brigadier general in 2002.
Kelly also served a tour in Iraq and was eventually placed in charge of the United States Southern Command, a position he held until January 2016. That "had him in charge of military operations in 32 countries in the Caribbean, Central America and South America," according to PBS.
The article notes that Kelly was a staunch critic of President Barack Obama:
He has occasionally criticized the Obama administration's military policy, such as trying to close Guantanamo Bay and opening all combat roles to women. He argued that conditions in Gitmo are not as harsh as its opponents have alleged and that the military would be forced to lower its physical standards to allow women in combat roles.
Just a year after retirement, he was tapped by Trump to serve as the Secretary of Homeland Security. According to PBS, Kelly did not "openly endorse Donald Trump at any point throughout his campaign."
Kelly's new appointment comes just days after Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's newly assigned communications director, gave a scathing critique of Priebus' role in the administration. As The New Yorker reports, there was believed to be considerable friction between the two men:
While they have publicly maintained that there is no bad blood between them, Scaramucci and Priebus have been feuding for months. After the election, Trump asked Scaramucci to join his Administration, and Scaramucci sold his company, SkyBridge Capital, in anticipation of taking on a senior role. But Priebus didn't want him in the White House, and successfully blocked him from being appointed to a job until last week, when Trump offered him the communications job over Priebus's vehement objections.
Preibus, 45, previously served as the chairman of the Republican National Committee.
"Reince is a good man. John Kelly will do a fantastic job," Trump told reporters who had traveled with him Friday on Air Force One. "General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. He's a great, great American. Reince is a good man."

Where do I even begin with this wedding? First things first, as magical as this wedding was and everything that went along with it, even more magical are the humans this wedding was centered around. I first met Camille + Stosh last fall when they flew me out to Colorado to shoot their engagements. We had been emailing back and forth for months and when we finally met in real like, I hit if off with both of them from the moment they picked me up from the airport and it honestly felt like they were long lost friends of mine. Fast forward to almost a year later, to their wedding below.
Their day was perfect from the very start. Camille got ready in a beautiful Airbnb in the middle of the mountains. From there, we traveled to their venue which was Deer Creek Valley Ranch. It was a gorgeous venue with unique and quirky little nooks and crannies, surrounded by horses and mountains. We were even unexpectedly greeted by some horses during portraits which actually turned into some hilarious and breathtaking photographs- you can see for yourselves. The ceremony took place in the middle of a field surrounded by evergreens – so far out and intimate that guests were loaded and brought by van loads. It was perfect. Followed was a cocktail hour in the field beside the ceremony location with a live band, so it was pretty much just everything wonderful. Camille + Stosh and all their loved ones then danced the night away and I truly cannot put into words how amazing their entire day was. It was full of nothing but intimate moments and genuine love from everyone involved.
Camille + Stosh, I cannot say enough good things about you both- individually and as a couple. You are both such genuine, kind-hearted and loving souls and I am so honored to have documented your day, and to now call you life long friends.

"We asked them about the participation of Pakistani players,
but they did not give any response."
–Subhan Ahmed, chief operating officer of the
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), 2010.
Indian Premier League debuted in 2008 and since then it has became a worldwide phenomena. Modeled on the football leagues in Europe and South America, it combined the shorter T20 format with the glitz of Bollywood to create a domestic league that generated billions. The inaugural edition featured 11 Pakistani players who performed well on and off the field in India. Sohail Tanvir even won the Purple Cap for being the top wicket taking bowler. However the 2009 Mumbai attacks prompted the authorities to pull of Pakistani players for security reason. And in 2010 no team bid on Pakistani players, despite them being on the rooster. The snub by the Indian cricket board meant that for the remaining seasons, no Pakistani player has featured in IPL.
The lucrative business model of the IPL leads to its replication in other countries, and tournaments like the Bangladesh Premier League and the Big Bash League have made a name for themselves. It was a matter of time before Pakistan also initiated its own T20 league – it would generate revenue and give Pakistani players a chance to play. The inauguration of the Pakistan Super League is almost at hand, a fact that would not have occurred if Pakistani players hadn't been excluded from the IPL.

The first time I heard "Bogalusa," the soulfully grooving jam that closes Sun Speak's new album, Sun Speak With Sara Serpa (Flood Music), I had to double-check to make sure it wasn't a cover. It has a melodic sprawl that oozes southern charm, with an opening lick that evokes Sam Cooke's immortal "A Change Is Gonna Come," but as drummer Nate Friedman lays out the massive, loping beat and Matt Gold rips into his meaty chords, it's clear that the duo is tapping into a familiar tradition and putting a spin on it that suggests the Dirty Three rolling through Memphis. The tune is an anomaly on the record in a couple of ways; it's the only one of the six that doesn't feature the weightless singing of Portuguese jazz vocalist Sara Serpa, and it's the only track that eschews the sparkling, shape-shifting arrangements that mark the rest of the recording. The glistening opener, "Place in Time," sets the Wendell Berry poem "Sabbaths" to a consistently changing arrangement that toggles between a gliding, skipping rhythm and beatless fantasias that give full flight to Serpa's improvisational instincts. Serpa has excelled in small-group settings, whether singing against the austere piano of Ran Blake or supported by the bossa-kissed arrangements of her husband, guitarist Andre Matos. While Sun Speak often follows suit, the duo isn't afraid of some scuffed-up, slightly rude accompaniment that underlines the gossamer fineness of her singing. My favorite piece is "Basin," where Gold evokes the undulating twang of Bill Frisell and Serpa creates an entirely wordless sound world with an extended melody that gently flutters, shimmies, and slides as it cradles the outlines of the terse grooves forged by her partners. Tonight the duo celebrates the release of the album with Serpa. v

The webinar will cover topics ranging from commonly used terms, coverage and eligibility and the differences between Medicaid and Medicare. This webinar is designed for beginners and experts alike.

Panelists include:

- Senior Advisor, David Bucciferro, will present on the webinar.
Medicaid is a health insurance entitlement program, meaning that it will pay for certain health care-related services for those who are eligible and enrolled in Medicaid. it was established as part of the Social Security Act of 1965.
- The federal government and state governments share responsibility over Medicaid.
- At the federal level, guidance, regulatory and funding responsibilities for Medicaid are managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). At the state level, states administer the program within federal guidelines and law.
- Governors designate a single state agency to administer the program; typically, this is a health and human services department.
The cost of the program is shared between the federal and state governments. States are required to pay for allowable services, provided by approved providers. States receive matching payments from the federal government for allowable costs of the state's program. The matching rate typically ranges between 50 and 75% depending on a number of factors.
- Federal law defines mandatory and optional services and eligibility criteria.
- States then have the ability to tailor Medicaid to meet their state's needs by selecting various authorities (such as optional services or waivers) to modify who is eligible, what services are available, and the level of services allowed, and who can provide these services.
- States can restrict eligibility to non-mandatory services so that individuals eligible for Medicaid may not be eligible for all services offered in a state.
- A state's tailoring of Medicaid is documented in a state's Medicaid plan.
- Medicaid expansion was signed into law in 2010. It has increased the number of people eligible for Medicaid.
- While the Supreme Court determined that states are not required to expand their Medicaid coverage, most states including New Jersey have expanded.
- Gov. Chris Christie (R) on June 28, 2013, signed a state budget that includes $227 million for Medicaid expansion in the state.
- According to New Jersey Policy Perspective (NJPP), 528,000 people in New Jersey gained coverage as the result of the Medicaid expansion. Christie vetoed legislation that would have made the expansion permanent in the state.
- Most people living in supportive housing are eligible for Medicaid based on a disabling condition (either physical or mental) so public and private options are still available for modifying Medicaid, regardless of expansion.

After a bitter-sweet break up in 2007, I went back to my ex. I started shooting on film again. About 6 months back I got myself a Large Format and a Medium Format Camera. I loved the whole experience of shooting film again and was quite satisfied with the output. One of the Large Format pictures was even featured in Ilford's website along with my notes on how I shot the picture.
Now, the problem with Large Format and Medium Format is the portability. Carrying and shooting with a Wista Field or a Hasselblad 500 CM is not something one can do everyday. So, for casual shooting I needed a portable camera, which would not be too expensive either. I am a Leica lover and very comfortable with Rangefinders. Plus, I also have lenses for them, so my first thought was the M3 or M6. But then even used M3s and M6s come at around $1000 or more (one reason for investing in Leica, their resale values hold up almost forever).
While I was looking for options I came across a Leica IIIg in immaculate condition and affordable. Looking at the serial number I found out it was from a batch of 500 produced in 1958 so that made the age of the camera 60 years but it still worked. I paired it with a 28mm f2.8 Ricoh lens and was ready to shoot.
The Leica III series is also known as the Barnack Leicas after its designer Oskar Barnack. The III series was introduced in 1933. The IIIg came around 1957 and approximately 41,500 pieces were produced. This was succeeded by the Leica M3 which had major design changes. The III series had two different windows, one for focusing and one for framing and the IIIg has a 50mm equivalent frame at its widest. This necessitates an external optical viewfinder to go into the flash mount if framing needs to be done for wider lenses.
For a 1958 camera it works like a charm. The aluminum body with chrome plated brass top housing, base plate and knobs feels absolutely solid but can easily slip into a coat pocket and is highly portable. The camera does not have in built metering so one must be knowledgeable and experienced in the 'sunny 16' rule or carry an incident meter. I use a phone app called 'Lightmeter' which works fine. For black and white film it is imperative to use color filters to increase contrast but my first roll was without filters.
I just shot my first roll of Ilford HP5 400 on this camera followed with a roll of CineStill 800T. The negatives were scanned with an Epson V800. Enjoy the pictures, comment, like, share J
Film is not dead, film is alive and kicking!
I created a couple of videos to talk about this camera. Here are the links

The impatience of Job
We will discover in the days to come, essential differences between résumé and eulogy when we come to remember public intellectual/pamphleteer, Dr Morgan Job. For one, he would have resisted any attempt at label, summary or evaluation except perhaps in qualitative terms to describe engagement of ideas that possessed and haunted him for at least the latter part of his adult life.
Those ideas, in my view, were intrinsically linked by a notion of liberation which lesser, more limited minds mistook for the opposite. Through his irascible, cantankerous impatience with everyone else, glimmered a belief - pursued as virtual creed - that had to do with free thought and expression and, through it, enlightened engagement of social and political challenge.
For all this, he sometimes paid with frequent, agonisingly enforced public silence – attended to, toward the end, through gratuitous engagement of new channels we all, who wanted to keep in touch, did well to studiously manage. When he realised what you'd done to his Whatsapp messages or Facebook Messenger posts, he would seek recompense on the street, at the airport or wherever he spotted you through the top half of his heavy bifocals.
My own story began around 1988/89 and heavy rainfall at the front door of Radio 610, an offer of coffee and shelter and an eventually fortuitous introduction to NBS chairman, Ken Ablack. This may well have been an entry point for future regular radio and television gigs that spanned close to three decades.
We would again cross paths through the Prime 106 FM experiment under the supervision of the incomparable broadcaster, Dik Henderson around 1991/92. As head of News and Current Affairs, I would find myself occasionally sharing uncomfortable studio space with him. I recall the times the smell of sulphur would linger following on-air delivery of what I now acknowledge to be the toughest possible love—Tobago style.
It must have been that after any passion-filled and insult-laced tirade (some of which he could have delivered in about half a dozen different languages) he would retire to a quiet place and blow the smoke from the barrel of his rhetorical gun. Then he would render Chopin's So Deep is the Night on his acoustic guitar and all would be well with the world.
With a flair for the painfully and embarrassingly obvious, he won few new friends (there was a handful of lifelong comrades), save for those who tried to understand him. There were also others who thought his verdict on the black condition consolidated their own assertion of a failed or condemned race. He must have known that space and time, offered in lieu of imposed silence elsewhere, was not always out of an appreciation for his view that the downward spiral of T&T society had always been a joint enterprise involving all.
I remember one time his on-air presence was the subject of a sustained campaign launched by people who ought to have known better.
I recall my own timidity in referencing a need for free expression and the pain that accompanied his eventual departure from the frequency. Who, from among us, truly felt that at the core of such a freedom was an ability by all to understand that the penalty for crudely-espoused views and intemperate rebukes cannot and should not be silence?
Who from among us dared to carefully calibrate the coordinates of what were thought to be his polarising campaigns? All we knew was that we either loved to hate his positions on things or hated that we sometimes loved them.
I remember an op-ed written by veteran journalist, Owen Baptiste, upon the death of pioneering media boss, Patrick Chookolingo. In it, Baptiste openly undertook to shed no crocodile tears. Some from among us should heed such advice and resist open hypocrisy.
If, in fact, his résumé elicits intense dislike or loathing, a suitable eulogy cannot but capture the essence of a tortured soul torn by love for the space it occupied and an intense disdain, if not hatred, for what it was becoming.

Hurricane Nate was expected to be a Category 2 storm when it makes landfall overnight southeast of New Orleans.
Donald Трамп is expected to comment on the hurricane if it gets to Category 4 or 5 as a way to boost his flagging TV ratings.
Investigators trying to piece together why a gunman opened fire on a crowd of thousands of concert-goers in Las Vegas this week said they have chased down more than a thousand leads, but the motive in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history remained a mystery.
An anonymous source suggested that power fantasies related to white supremacy, in the struggle of a male psyche to comprehend that while he's part of the dominant ethnic group, in a culture that values dominance, nonetheless fails to dominate the world in a way that matches what the culture values, due to rootless effects of patriarchy as a motive for the attack just caused investigators to blink, shrug, and move on.
In other news, Harvey Weinstein is a gross, misogynistic troll who sexually assaults women.
He's expected to be named to the Трамп White House in November as head of women's rights initiatives.
Have you done your part today? If not, take a moment to decide what to do, how you can help, and pitch in! Maybe pitching in for you means telling me I'm dumb, go for it! Whatever it is, make your time count!
