Adopting to Agile — Through an Infant's Eyes
Observing the actions of his newborn son, a Zone Leader wonders just how closely these actions match that of the adoption of the Agile framework.

My newborn son will turn nine months old in May. Not too long after he was born, he reached the stage of "putting everything into his mouth" as a way to learn about the world. Mapping his actions to a simple flow resembles something like this:
When he has his mind set on putting something into his mouth, the object being evaluated falls into two categorizations: something he recognizes and something that is new. Either way, the primary objective is to put the item into his mouth so that he can learn more about the item.
If it is something he is familiar with and likes, he explores the item using the senses in his mouth. The same holds true for a new item. However, if he doesn't enjoy the new item, his dislike is equated to dropping the item—or removing it from his mouth.
I wondered how this simple flow can be applied to adoption of the Agile framework.
Evaluating Something New
When the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) began to gain momentum a few years ago, I found myself at the doorway to learning something new. At that point, I believe my thought process matched that of my new-born son.
Since I was familiar with core Agile concepts, the SAFe concept was not 100% new to me. For those items I had experience with, they fell into two categories: items I found value in and appreciated and items I didn't see the true value in implementing. The former items found their way into my senses of appreciation, while the latter were dropped onto the metaphorical floor.
When I began to understand SAFe foundational components (like Release Trains, Shared Services and an Architecture Runway, as an example) I took a moment to comprehend the value behind each aspect. On one particular project, the implementation of Shared Services was a welcomed concept—since each of the 17, agile teams struggled with getting support from those groups which were ultimately morphed into the Shared Services group. Using my son's metaphor, Shared Services found its way into my senses, it was something I found beneficial and remained at the forefront of my focus.
However, for that same project, the concept of Release Trains was attempted, but results were far from favorable. In this instance, the overhead associated with maintaining a Release Train far outweighed the value that was provided. The same was true for an Architecture Runway. This project was at a point of maturity where the need for Enterprise Architecture (EA) and future design strategies were just not beneficial. In both cases, the taste did not appeal to me (in a metaphorical sense) and both were dropped to the ground.
Agile Is Not A One Stop Shop
I have written in earlier posts that Agile implementation is not a one-stop shop. One, in particular, is the "Agile - For the Sake of Being Agile" post from May 2017.
I firmly believe that enterprises or development teams should understand the core concepts behind Agile and even further-reaching concepts (like SAFe) and figure out what provides value to the Agile teams and which aspects do not. Using my son's flow diagram as an example, those items which appeal to you should be kept to the forefront of your senses. Those which do not should be dropped and placed on the road behind you.
Have a really great day!

The Hush Post: Finally, the police lodged an FIR nine days after a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler was mauled to death by stray dogs in Chandigarh. The UT police have filed an FIR under Sections 289 and 304-A of the IPC against unknown persons at the Sector-19 police station.

Family had demanded an FIR against MC officials
It is to be noted that the family of the deceased had stuck to its stance demanding an FIR against the MC authorities holding them accountable for the death. Till now the parents had not given her consent for carrying out the postmortem of the child demanding an FIR to be registered first.
"Had I given my consent to perform the post-mortem, the authorities would have brushed the matter under the carpet and no one would have been held accountable for my child's death", Ayush's moter told The Tribune.
Ayush was attacked by stray dogs while he was playing in a park with his siblings in Sector-18 of the city. The incident has sparked a nationwide outrage while the locals had held the Muncipal Corporation responsible for the episode.

Drink-driving rate falling
PUBLISHED: 15:21 09 January 2008 | UPDATED: 19:23 05 July 2010
FEWER motorists were caught drink driving on Suffolk's roads during this festive period compared to the year before - with the majority of those over the age of 25.
FEWER motorists were caught drink driving on Suffolk's roads during this festive period compared to the year before - with the majority of those over the age of 25.
The month-long campaign, which began on December 1, saw police officers across the county conduct 3,069 breath tests, with 94 (3.0pc) coming back positive.
Of these, 1,098 were carried out on drivers under the age of 25 and 28 (2.6pc) tested positive and 1,971 were carried out on those over the age of 25 with 66 (3.3pc) coming back positive.
In December 2006 2,283 breath tests were conducted by Suffolk Constabulary and 101 (4.4pc) came back positive.
Inspector Trevor Sharman, of the force's roads policing unit, said: "I am pleased to say that of those who we breath tested a smaller percentage of motorists were found to be over the limit. This is good news because the message is hitting home.
"However disappointingly there were still 94 people who provided a positive breath test and therefore disregarded the advice of the police - putting not only their lives but also the lives of others at risk.
"The fact that they were caught should serve as a warning. If you think you won't get caught, you're wrong. Those who drink-drive will be arrested and will face the consequences of their actions.
"I don't see anything in these figures to make me think that we have to concentrate on one age group in particular. The message needs to be across the board - it's dangerous to get behind the wheel when you have consumed alcohol."
Carole Whittingham, acting chairman of the Campaign Against Drink Driving (CADD), said she was encouraged by the figures, which indicate that Suffolk is bucking the national trend.
"What we are seeing generally is that drink driving numbers are going up so this is very encouraging," she said. "The very big worry for a number of years has been the amount of young people who decide to take the risk to drink and drive.
"However, most young people in Suffolk seem to be getting the message. Having said that one drink driver is one too many regardless of what age they are. It's simple: if you drink don't drive and if you drive don't drink."
Drink driving figures for the last three years
Year Number of breath tests Number of positive breath tests
2005 2161 139(6.4pc)
2006 2283 101 (4.4pc)
2007 3069 94 (3.0pc)

text: Smartin 1,614 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Well, I sold my 70 Skylark in October this past year. I kept saying I wasn't going to buy another car for a while, but sometimes they just fall into your lap. I am picking it up on Tuesday (possibly Monday if I can work the schedule). A bit of a long-winded story, but I'll try to keep it short. Lance and I went to go look at a 57 Roadmaster 75 coupe that is currently advertised on eBay. It is local to me, so we made a day out of the inspection. The coupe came from a wealthy collector in Southern CA that is having this dealer broker his cars. Apparently, he is selling anything that is not valued at $1 million or more. Oooook then. We were less than impressed with the coupe, so proceeded to small talk the dealer, and found out the owner has another 57 that he sent over in another building. He said "You don't want to see it, it's a turd and the transmission is out." We said, "we'd like to see it please." So 30 minutes later, a guy brought a key to the other building and opened the door. What we saw was this car in the photos. Yes, the transmission is not currently "working," but I am hopeful that it's a simple fix. Even if it's not, I'm not concerned. It does need an exhaust system, the current one is pretty rotted. It originally was all garnet red top and bottom, but sometime in its life it was painted its current combo. All (or most) of the chrome is original clean, no pits. Interior has been redone is mostly correct fabrics. Dash pad and upper door panels are not quite right, but I can handle that. Headliner has a white perforated material that isn't right either, but that's a pretty easy fix. It's just a clean car. Factory AC and wonderbar radio. Not a speck of rust to be found anywhere. I've been hounding the guy for 2 weeks to get a price from the seller, and he finally got back with me yesterday. Today, the deal is 99% done. I just have to sign some paperwork and pay him. We currently have snowmageddon 2019 happening, so I can't get back out there until Monday or Tuesday. If I could've picked it up today, I would have. Darn snow storm rolled in about 1pm today. I plan to have this in OKC this year. I have to thank Lance for allowing me to buy this ahead of him. We were both salivating at the prospect. I'll have to make sure I get his black 57 extra spiffy for him. This is the "turd" ...it's better in person. It still has all the grime on it from the trip East..

I started my real estate career in 2004, focusing on new construction as I was experienced and had a background in that field. Quickly gained momentum in absorbing as much education as I could and reached and have maintained top producer status since.
I joined RE/MAX shortly after being licensed and have been under the umbrella ever since. To me having RE/MAX as the company I chose to represent me meant I could offer competitive advantages to my clients (National branding, advertising, leads, education, constant changing technology, and much more) that they wouldn't receive at small independent companies.
My career as a selling agent consisted of new construction sales, assisting the community in foreclosure avoidance by successfully negotiating short sales, and also the disposition of foreclosure properties for local, and national financial institutions like Fannie Mae and HUD. I maintain an excellent scorecard to date with all of these financial institutions.

Olympic Uniforms Row Patched Up
Sydney 2000 organisers have agreed to transfer the manufacture of 15,000 business shirts from Indonesia to Australia as part of a deal to resolve a dispute over the production of Games uniforms.
The Textile Clothing and Footwear Union and the NSW Labor Council had raised concerns about the level of off-shore production, arguing local producers should be used wherever possible.
Under the SOCOG-trade union deal suppliers will also provide TCFUA officials with the names and addresses of overseas suppliers so they can ensure that minimum labour standards are complied with in accordance with the SOCOG Code of practise.
Tensions had flared between unions and SOCOG when the union was unable to secure details of the whereabouts of manufactures in Fiji, Malaysia and the Philipines.
TCFUA state secretary Barry Tubner says the agreement is an important first step in ensuring production of Games' uniforms is ethical and does not undercut opportunities for Australian workers.
"This is good news for the industry notwithstanding the fact that we would have preferred other items to be produced in Australia," Tubner says.
SOCOG says it has no objections to its contractors providing names and addresses of overseas manufacturing sites and will support relevant union officials getting access to visit all overseas companies contracted to produce workforce uniforms.
Tubner acknowledged the assistance of the Bonds company in resolving the dispute with SOCOG. He says the next step is to ensure the Code is being complied with.

Senior athletes take the lead
February 23, 2018
Senior leadership can often be an overlooked aspect of a team sport. The coaches cannot be on the field or court with the players; they must depend on the experience and wisdom of senior athletes for the success of the team.
For the men's basketball team, a senior player such as Marc Rodgers is vital to team success and act as an extension of the coaches, according to assistant coach Drew Harris. Even though Rodgers is hurt, he is still one of the most vocal players on the team.
In some situations, the coaches cannot call a timeout. When this happens, the seniors on the court are a tremendous help to the coaches.
"Being in the program for multiple years, [seniors] know exactly what we want and what we're looking for," Harris said. "Seniors on the floor go pass that message on into what we would expect in that moment."
Other seniors like Fuquan Niles lead through their play both in practice and on the court. Niles is good about leading by example, and always tries to play hard, according to Harris. Other seniors do a good job of this as well, he added.
Freshman forward Coleman Sparling believes a combination of the two senior leadership styles is most effective.
"The best leadership is [a player] that is going to go out there and work hard every single day," Sparling said. "You know, going to speak up if you're not working as hard and tell if you need to figure something out or do something different."
Sparling said the seniors have taught him how to handle the road trips, the practices and the daily process throughout the season. Senior forwards Jerome Bryant and Fuquan Niles, who Sparling said he has a strong bond with, have helped Sparling tremendously in his freshman season.
"Jerome and Fuquan are the ones that are going to pick you up at the end of the day and be real with you and just always know that you have more in you," Sparling said. "I really appreciate those two for all they do for me keeping my confidence up."
For the CWU women's soccer team, the freshman rely heavily on the seniors for guidance and help with the transition from club and high school teams to the collegiate level, according to junior forward Kennedy Anson.
"Everything is completely different and completely more intense," Anson said. "Having the experience of knowing what [the coach] expects so that we can portray that to them helps. A lot of times they just don't even know what he's asking."
When junior forward KK Wallace was a freshman. She definitely felt the difficulties of the transition into college soccer. Both Wallace and Anson have been in a position of uncertainty and needing to learn quickly, and are ready to lead the incoming players.
"We know the coach just wants the best out of all of us," Wallace said. "We want you to succeed, but you just have to get up to here; be up to our level."

Pike Place Market
The fishy-smelling, heart of downtown Seattle is Pike Place Market. Each day, from dawn to dusk, the market bustles but not just with people perusing the fresh produce brought in by the farmers or the browsing stalls of fresh fish. The market is also brimming with good theater, as street performers entertain the milling crowds while more than 150 artisans and artist sell their creations.
The Main and North arcades of Pike Place Market are the most popular areas, with bellowing fishmongers, arts and crafts, and stacks of fruits and vegetables. Tiny shops of all descriptions are scattered throughout the market, along with dozens of restaurants. One of the most entertaining spectacles is the fish stall, where employees throw salmon and other fish to each other rather than passing them by hand. When a customer orders a fish, an employee at the ice-covered fish table picks up the fish and hurls it over the countertop, where another employee catches it and preps it for sale.

Thursday will be session day at the state house, and several notable bills are on the docket.
A206 – Criminal records expungement – Would allow for automatic expungement for qualifying offenders after seven years rather than ten. The bill would apply to those who have served out the terms of their sentence, and excludes major felonies such as homicide, kidnapping, arson and others. The bill would also deny automatic expungement to those convicted while serving in public office in New Jersey.
S929 – Worker's compensation adjustment – Would provide a cost of living adjustment for workers who have become totally and permanently disabled on the job, and to dependents of workers who died from an injury sustained in the workplace. The bill would apply to those workers and dependents who met these criteria from 1980 onward, and is similar to the adjustment already in place for cases before that time. Amended in the Assembly to take effect on July 1, 2016.
A1041 – Holocaust reparations payments – Would exempt reparations received by Holocaust survivors from being levied, executed or attached by private creditors. The bill would also exempt the funds from estate collections following the deaths of Medicaid recipients who have received reparations from governmental or victim assistance groups. The bill would make one exception, for child support.
PolitickerNJ will be in Trenton tomorrow to follow these bills as they face their second readings in the Senate.

Stocks cracked under pressure by a soaring U.S. dollar on Tuesday, finishing at their lows for the session.
There was no specific catalyst for the risk-off trade besides the moonshot by the buck, though if you had to point a finger it would be aimed at the merciless gutting of commodity prices as well as the shares of companies in commodity-dependent countries such as Brazil, Russia and Malaysia.
The All-Climate Portfolio system continues to recommend that investors remain in cash (and inverse oil and gold) as it senses that an entry with a higher probability of success lies ahead. That does not mean that any coming entry will be lower than the current price — only that it would have better odds of success. The underlying data in the model has improved in synch with the recent setback in stocks' valuation and the expression of panic, but not enough to muster a buy signal.
The Dow Jones Industrials finished with a whopping 332-point, or -1.85%, loss, its worst setback since October, while the S&P 500 fell 1.7%, the Nasdaq 100 fell 1.9% and the Russell 2000 fared best, down only 1.2%, largely because small-cap stocks are the least likely to depend on overseas sales and thus are least vulnerable to the buck bomb.
Quick run through the news:
The fiscal and monetary policy divergence theme remained in play Tuesday. While the bulk of the focus late last week was on the support for a mid-2015 "liftoff" in U.S. interest rate targets by the Federal Reserve, this week it has been the euro zone dominating sentiment. The quantitative easing program launched by the European Central Bank on Monday gained momentum Tuesday with most peripheral bond yields hitting fresh lows. The euro came under pressure, ending the day down 1.3% against the dollar at $1.07, its weakest level in nearly 12 years.
In response, the dollar ripped higher by 1% and emerging market stocks collapsed by 2.2%. This gives me a chance to point out that while the effect of lower crude oil prices has taken a big bite out of energy conglomerates' earnings, foreign exchange has played a larger role in negative earnings revision trends.
Bottom line: The big decline Tuesday, following a similar setback Friday, looked worse than it was. There have been a lot of close-set smack-downs during the bull cycle that started in 2009 and none have proved fatal, or even close. Unless something important has changed, before too long bulls should be back to their old tricks, taking advantage of the pause in sentiment.
As always, please contact with any questions.
Sincerely –
Greg Franklin

2015 Ford Fiesta ST Review
After seeing a few owner reviews for the Ford Fiesta ST on CarAdvice, I decided I'd add another.
The short version - fantastic! Can fit a small family of two adults and child under three with ease, despite obviously being a small car.
I have had this little beast in my garage for four to five months now, clocking up over 12,000km in that time (mostly on the highway).
I cannot fault this little car in terms of its engine. The turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder is still one that I get a smile out of each day. Coming from a 2007 Focus XR5 Turbo, I know what a great engine note sounds like, and I am still impressed with the note this one gives pulling right up until redline. What else is a surprise, is the fact I can still return decent fuel economy figures (6.6L/100km) despite giving it plenty on the open road when possible. I have found the gearbox to be a little clunky at times, but nothing to really question it at a service.
The handling is nothing short of amazing when you want it to be. You've all heard the praises sung about it, I won't go into it too much. Otherwise, it's comfortable with a compromise. I thought the ride would be far too harsh and crashy over poor roads, which it sometimes is, but I have yet to think to myself, "Why oh why did I choose this car?" On consistently poor roads, the ride gets pretty horrendous, but I am on these parts for so little time each trip to work or when cruising that I don't ever consider it a con, so much as a compromise.
Another thing mentioned by owners and reviewers alike is the interior splash dash of buttons etc. Seemingly, I am one of few who actually like this. Yes, it looks like a mess of buttons, but they're all pretty obvious in their role, only a few times have I hit the radio button rather than the phone one. Driver's display for tacho, speed and other info is easily laid out - nothing too flash. Bluetooth audio streaming is simple, yet glitchy. Had a few podcasts randomly stop and start playing music, using an iPhone. The black roof lining also tops it off.
I love the seats - even comfortable for a big guy like me (six foot and 110kg). On long journeys, they can get a tad uncomfortable due to extreme levels of bolstering, but I love them. Never sat in the back seat but they're comfortable enough on longer journeys, apparently. My child has more than enough room with a bulky car seat, although she can already kick the back of the seat in front of her. The passenger side seat doesn't even need to be all the way forward for them either, which is great if you have an extra passenger.
Now, look, I know I bought a small car, and I know I was never going to be transporting a family, plus dog, plus caravan, plus boat, but the car is tiny. Boot has ample space given the physical size, but once you've loaded it with a week's worth of groceries, don't be buying another case of fancy/cheap beer/wine. Sure, the boot is deep enough, and there are a few straps and latches, but not enough to consider it practical as your family car. In regards to children in the back seat, the doors are obviously large (being a three-door), and I can easily be totally within the car when putting my child in the car seat. Fantastic if you're in a car park at your local daycare where other 'patient' parents in 'child-friendly' SUVs want to roll over your matchbox car doors.
The looks are very subjective. My first sighting of the 'FiST' was a year or so ago in the blue (mine is white). To me, it didn't look great... Upon researching and seeing more of the car, I fell in love, especially when finished in the Frozen White. My choice was simple. My only issue is that the honeycomb front grille can be a pain to clean, but with time and patience, it looks great. A head turner indeed.
Servicing was done at 7500km through Ford as there was a recall relating to rear seat belts (N/A to mine, luckily), and it was reasonably priced at about $220 for a dealership service. My local Ford dealership isn't the best I've come to know (previous issues with an older car), but they were courteous enough and the service was done in time.
In summary, I am happy. I am happy I spent my money on another bloody Ford. And I will again. I have had at least a dozen people ask me about the car since purchase, and each time I've told them the same thing: Awesome.

Tech Bloggers Speak Out: Steve Firszt of VITAL Management
The VITAL System uses three key metrics for measuring labor productivity:
1) Gross margin (labor revenues minus the gross wages you pay to your installers & other Billable Employee or Equivalents ("BEE's")
2) Labor Revenues per BEE
3) Labor utilization (total billed hours ÷ total BEE payroll hours)
Over the years we have learned that "50/100/50" represents profitable baseline labor productivity:
• 50% GM on labor: total labor revenues = 2X total BEE wages
• $100K annual revs/BEE: monthly labor revenues average $8333 per BEE
• 50% utilization: one billed hour for every 2 paid BEE hours
Many of our clients have been surprised that 50% utilization is acceptable. But understand, we're talking hours that turn into labor revenues on your monthly P&L – un-billable warranty work and be-backs don't count.
When you factor in un-billable office/warehouse time, drive time, holidays, vacation, training time, etc… you begin to see how challenging it is to get more than 1040 billed hours/year out of each of your billable employees. The math is simple enough… at $100/hour, 1040 annual billed hours (50% of 2080 payroll hours) equals $104,000 labor revenues. The technician could be getting paid up to $52,000 and you'd be realizing a 50% or greater GM.
Interestingly, when measured this way, many integration companies fall short of the 50/100/50 baseline.
And it's often NOT because they are charging too little for labor. How's your company measure up?
Steve Firszt and Paul Starkey have formed the quintessential business metrics firm in VITAL Management. Their quantitative model along with group comparatives and personalized coaching form a unique professional service for the custom electronics industry. Working exclusively with companies of $2M in sales or more, VITAL Management is helping good companies become great.

I'm really enjoying the AMS column "What is ..." (http://arminstraub.com/math/what-is-column) and The Princeton Companion to Mathematics.
I am looking for something similar. I'd like to acquire some intuition behind different subjects and the general overview rather than digging into details and technical proofs.
I want to read more about the motivation, the greatest results and applications (inside and outside of mathematics).

Thanks Mary Alice.
Full Service
I would highly recommend Linda Blanken for your realtor of choice. Since she is also an Interior Designer, she went through my townhouse in Belmont, and gave me a list of things that needed to be updated, got the contractor to do the work which she supervised. Then went through to replace furniture to open up the rooms, and helped me declutter for staging.
Linda received an offer she presented after 3 weeks, we came to terms, found a condo in Potomac Green, and closed in 6 weeks.
My children call Linda Blanken FULL SERVICE. She also helped me with what to take to the new condo at no extra charge.

ABR Bear #258 aka. Summitt Bear, had been at ABR for not quite four days, confined to a pen in the Cub Nursery as we reported in our last post. The sick little bear was confined so he could be carefully monitored by the curators via a web cam that allows them to see him from the office, without having to intrude too often. He seemed lethargic and, uncharacteristically for a bear, did not react defensively or offensively when a curator entered the Cub Nursery to feed him. All of a sudden, that attitude changed! On March 31st he showed that he is anxious to exit the pen by climbing the sides, and trying to get out, The curators had already announced their intention to move him to The Cub House when he was ready – this climbing behavior told them clearly that he IS ready. Click here to see a video of Summitt Bear climbing on the pen. The next step is to move him. Watch for our next post that will document the move.

Dietary glycaemic carbohydrate in relation to the metabolic syndrome in adolescents: comparison of different metabolic syndrome definitions
Publication Details
Bremnert, A. P., O'Sullivan, T. A., Ambrosini, G. L., Lyons-Wall, P. M., Oddy, W. H., Blair, E., Huang, R., Beilin, L. J. & Mori, T. A. 2010, 'Dietary glycaemic carbohydrate in relation to the metabolic syndrome in adolescents: comparison of different metabolic syndrome definitions', Diabetic Medicine, vol. 27, no. 7, pp. 770-778.
Aims: High dietary glycaemic carbohydrate, as measured by the dietary glycaemic index and glycaemic load has been associated with increased risk of the metabolic syndrome in adults, but limited research exists for younger populations. We aimed to evaluate associations between dietary glycaemic carbohydrate and insulin resistance or the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome defined by three different criteria in a population-based adolescent cohort.
Methods: Diet was assessed using 3 day food records in 769 adolescents aged 13-15 years participating in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study. The metabolic syndrome was identified using age-specific adolescent definitions from the International Diabetes Federation, the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III and a population-derived 'high-risk' metabolic cluster algorithm. Presence of a high waist circumference was mandatory only in the International Diabetes Federation definition. Insulin resistance was measured using homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR).
Results: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome as defined by the International Diabetes Federation and the Adult Treatment Panel III was 3.6 and 4.0%, respectively; 25.9% of subjects were classified into the high-risk cluster. Significantly increased odds oflnternational Diabetes Federation-defined metabolic syndrome were independently associated with a 20 unit glycaemicload increase (odds ratio 2.18; 95% confidence interval 1.26-3.78) and a 30 g carbohydrate increase (odds ratio 3.86; 95% confidence interval 1.80-8.28). No significant associations were observed when using the Adult Treatment Panel III, or the cluster-defined metabolic syndrome, or with HOMA-IR.
Conclusions: This study supports the concept that high dietary glycaemic carbohydrate is associated with a higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in adolescents. However, relationships vary according to the definition of the metabolic syndrome used, with waist circumference a potentially relevant factor.

International economic disputes – like the trade war with China – have domestic effects, ranging from changes in an individual's finances to impacts on local and national economies. Polling data from the past eighteen months show that Americans are most concerned about the trade war harming their local economies, with rising concern about jobs and the cost of products and steady concern over the national economy. With China's August 23 announcement of tariffs on American products including agricultural goods, aircrafts, and cars, and President Trump's retaliatory tariff increases, which hike existing tariffs up to 30% from 25% and upcoming tariffs up to 15% from 10%, the American publics' concerns may sharpen as new tariffs hit consumer goods.
Americans Worry about the US Economy
American have consistently worried that the national economy will be harmed by the trade dispute, though they are less concerned about the national economy than they are about their local and state economies.
In March 2018, four in ten Americans (42%) said that putting a tariff on imports of steel and aluminum from other countries would hurt the US economy. A little under three in ten (27%) said that it would help and fewer than two in ten (18%) said it would have no impact, according to a Marist Poll. When a CBS News poll framed tariffs in the context of a trade war, half (49%) said that the US economy would come out worse in the long run, while two in ten each thought the economy would come out better (22%) or there would be no difference (20%).
These numbers have held steady into 2019. When asked in May by Fox News whether the increase in tariffs on Chinese imports would help or hurt the US economy in the long run or not make much of a difference either way, a plurality (45%) said that it would hurt, 34 percent said it would help, and 11 percent said it would not make much difference.
Americans Also Worry Their Local Economies Will Suffer
Over the past year, Americans have consistently worried that their local and state economies will be harmed as a result of the trade dispute. According to the US Chamber of Commerce, 29 states are at risk of extremely significant damage, though it is important to note that the Chamber has taken an openly anti-tariff stance and that it anticipates at minimum significant damage for every state. A different analysis by Deutsche Bank names Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina, Alabama, and Washington as the states most affected by China's tariffs.
A June 2018 Monmouth University poll found that 64 percent of Americans were very or somewhat concerned that a trade war would hurt their local economy, with 36 percent not too or not at all concerned. This sentiment held steady into May 2019: another Monmouth University poll found that 62 percent of Americans say they are very or somewhat concerned about harm to their area's economy, with 35 percent not too or not at all concerned. Notably, the 2018 Chicago Council Survey registered an even higher level of concern over the local economy (72% very or somewhat concerned, 27% not too or not at all concerned).
At the state level, concern is similar, according to a Suffolk University poll. A plurality (47%) say that imposing stiffer tariffs on China would hurt the economy in their state, followed by 22 percent who do not anticipate an impact and 9 percent who think that stiffer tariffs will help their state economy.
Americans Grow More Worried about Prices
Recent polls show that majorities of Americans think that the trade dispute will harm US consumers. But that wasn't always the case. At the beginning of the trade war, Americans were divided on how the trade dispute would impact the prices of consumer goods.
As of May 2019, six in ten Americans (62%) say that American consumers will bear the costs of tariffs on Chinese goods, according to a Monmouth University poll. Only two in ten (23%) say that this burden will fall to Chinese producers, while one in ten (8%) think that both will bear the costs equally.
But polls from the spring and summer of 2018 highlight just how unsure Americans used to be, with different polls suggesting different views. A Washington Post-Schar School poll in July 2018 found that three in four Americans (74%) thought the tariff situation between the United States and China was bad for the cost of products in the United States, with less than one in four (22%) saying it was good for prices.
But Americans were less worried when it came to steel and aluminum tariffs. Three months earlier, in March 2018, only four in ten Americans (40%) thought that placing a tariff on steel and aluminum from other countries would lead to an increase in the price of consumer goods, according to an AP-NORC poll. An equal proportion (39%) thought the opposite, that placing such a tariff would lead to a decrease in prices, and two in ten (19%) thought that placing a tariff would have no effect. A Marist poll from the same month on steel and aluminum tariffs reached a third conclusion: 64 percent of Americans thought that such a tariff would increase prices of things they buy, with only 4 percent saying they would decrease prices (24% said it would make no difference and 8% were unsure).
In 2018, Americans Grew Worried about Harm to Jobs
At the outset, Americans were unsure how tariffs would impact jobs -- though slightly larger proportions anticipated negative than positive outcomes in early March 2018. Polling from later that summer shows a solid majority expecting a negative impact.
A Quinnipiac University poll found that a plurality of Americans (36%) said imposing a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports would be bad for American jobs. Similar proportions thought that it would be good for American jobs (26%) or that it would have no impact (24%). When asked in an AP-NORC poll that same month how the number of jobs would change, Americans were almost perfectly divided: about one in three said it would increase (32%), about one in three said it would decrease (35%), and about one in three said there would be no change (31%).
A Washington Post/Schar School poll from late June 2018 without a neutral option found a majority of Americans (56%) saw the tariffs as bad for jobs in the US, while a minority (39%) thought they would be good for US jobs. Over the course of summer 2018, polls registered a rise in concern over jobs.
In 2018, Mixed Result on Personal Impact
Surveys show that Americans have wavered on how they personally would be affected by the trade war between China and the United States.
In June 2018, a CBS News poll found that six in ten Americans (59%) thought they would be personally affected by a trade war for the worse, compared to one in ten (10%) who thought they would be affected for the better (26% thought they would not be affected). At that stage, many Americans worried about personal harm from the trade dispute.
But a poll soon after found that Americans weren't sure how their personal finances would fare. According to a July 2018 Gallup Poll, 43 percent of Americans said they did not think the new tariffs would make much difference for their family's financial situation in the long term. Two in ten (20%) predicted the tariffs would make their family's financial situation better, but a third (33%) said the opposite. These polls highlight just how unsure Americans are when it comes to personal impacts of the trade dispute.

"What was the biggest influence on your decision to purchase EfficientPIM? My answer: Having used the FREE Efficient Diary program for the past year. Please write down your comments on EfficientPIM. My answer: Suggestion! I also have a diary program in Ubuntu Linix. The first line of the diary entry automatically enlarges and becomes the title. This would be great as I am constantly forgetting to enter a title."
- Raymond Groff, January 2012
"Unlike the vast majority of the software reviews that I write each year for the PC User Group community, this particular review was not one that the publisher sought me to write but quite the other way around. As a result of own my personal research, I came across Efficient PIM V1.62 and was so impressed by the quality, intuitiveness, and feature set, that I wrote this review solely to share information about this awesome software with others. ... This power and associated simplicity does not "just happen"; there has to be some very good programming and thought process behind Efficient PIM V1.62."

Fridges dumped by fly-tippers near farm in St Albans
PUBLISHED: 14:27 06 September 2018 | UPDATED: 10:30 07 September 2018
Six fridges have been dumped at the side of a farm lane in St Albans.
St Albans council was alerted to the fridges, which had been dumped in the middle of the road in Nashes Farm Lane, on Wednesday, September 5.
As they were obstructing the road, the fridges were initially the responsibility of the highways agency, but a member of the public moved them to one side and cleared the obstruction, therefore placing them under the council's jurisdiction.
The fridges were removed by the highways agency by the time the council's contractors arrived, and there will be an investigation to find out who is responsible.

It's very cold, and will get colder. Tonight, the wind chill will be -20 F. I know, residents of the Plains States scoff at such windchills. But residents of the Plains States do not have to go out at 7 p.m. to discuss a possible (and possibly idiotic) school district consolidation.
Our very earnest and good-intentioned governor proposed months and months ago that education budgets would benefit if we merged many districts into just a few. Right now, Brooklin shares School Union 76 with three other towns. Brooklin and Sedgwick each have their own school boards, while Deer Isle and Stonington share a board. The new district would have ten towns, if I understand it right. A committee with members from all ten towns has been working for months to figure out how to make a consolidation work.
After the consolidation, as I understand it, one mega-board will oversee hiring and budgets and transportation and such, although each town can have a "school committee" in addition to that. Having sat through my share of school board meetings in my time, I cannot imagine how long that mega-board's meetings will last with ten schools to administer. My butt hurts just thinking about it.
The governor hopes we will all save administrative costs by hiring just one superintendent for each ginormous district. I'm willing to bet that the superintendent will require a higher paycheck for a larger district, and will have to hire a bunch of assistant superintendents in order to get through the workload, thus spending exactly the same amount of money if not more. But I'm struggling to keep an open mind.
I love our little Brooklin school--I feel particularly strongly about this today, having just met with my school writers group and found them utterly delightful and eager to learn. I don't want anything to screw it up. It's vastly uneconomical to run because there are so few students. I'm not sure I can trust a mega-board to make good budget decisions regarding Brooklin's school, and I fear all will descend into chaos and recriminations.
If we vote against this, we lose a portion of our state funding. Since Brooklin hardly gets any state funding at all (it's based on property valuations, and we come across as rich because of all our shore frontage), I'm not sure that's much of a threat.
We vote on this later in the month, so tonight is our chance to get the facts about how it's all going to work. I am bound and determined to go to the hearing, even if my nose freezes off.
In bookish news, my name pronunciation recording is up on TeachingBooks.net. Also, The Unnameables is an Anokaberry!
And now I'm going to finish reading The Willoughbys. I keep telling myself that this is work but it sure feels like pleasure.

U.S. Ambassadorships are given by the U.S. President as favors for campaign contributions, etc.
John Negroponte, a career U.S. diplomat and former aide to Henry Kissinger, was U.S. ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985.
Background of John Negroponte
The New York Times credits John Negroponte with "carrying out the covert strategy of the Reagan administration to crush the Sandinista government in Nicaragua" during his tenure as U.S. Ambassador to Honduras from 1981 and 1985. He oversaw the growth of military aid to Honduras from $4 million to $77.4 million a year. In early 1984, two U.S. mercenaries, Thomas Posey and Dana Parker, contacted Negroponte, stating they wanted to supply arms to the Contra army after the U.S. Congress had banned governmental add. Documents show that Negroponte connected the two with a contact in the Honduran military. The operation was exposed nine months later, at which point the Reagan administration denied any U.S. government involvement, despite Negroponte's contact earlier that year. Other documents uncovered a scheme of Negroponte and then-Vice President George Bush to funnel Contra aid money through the Honduran government.
In addition to his work with the Nicaraguan Contra army, Negroponte helped conceal from Congress the murder, kidnapping and torture abuses of a CIA-equipped and -trained Honduran military unit, Battalion 3-16. No mention of these human rights violations ever appeared in State Department Human Rights reports for Honduras. The Baltimore Sun reports that Efrain Diaz Arrivillaga, then a delegate in the Honduran Congress and a voice of dissent, told the Sun that he complained to Negroponte on numerous occasions about the Honduran military's human rights abuses. Rick Chidester, a junior embassy official under Negroponte, reported to the Sun that he was forced to omit an exhaustive gathering of human rights violations from his 1982 State Department report. Sister Laetitia Bordes went on a fact-finding delegation to Honduras in May 1982 to investigate the whereabouts of 32 Salvadoran nuns and women of faith who fled to Honduras in 1981 after Archbishop Oscar Romero's assassination. Negroponte claimed the embassy knew nothing, but in 1996, Negroponte's predecessor Jack Binns reported that the women had been captured, tortured, and then crammed into helicopters from which they were tossed to their deaths.
According to the Los Angeles Times, shortly after Negroponte's nomination was decided, the U.S. government revoked the visa of General Luis Alonso Discua Elvir, who was Honduras' deputy ambassador to the UN. General Discua was the commander of the Battalion during Negroponte's tenure as ambassador. He has publicly claimed to have information linking Negroponte with the battalion's activities. His testimony would be invaluable in illuminating Negroponte's collusion with Honduran opponents on Capitol Hill. In 1994, the Honduran Human Rights Commission charged Negroponte personally with several human rights abuses.
On August 27, 1997, CIA Inspector General Frederick P. Hitz released a 211-page classified report entitled "Selected Issues Relating to CIA Activities in Honduras in the 1980s." This report was partly declassified on October 22, 1998, in response to persistent demands by the Honduran human rights ombudsman. You can read parts of the document on the National Security Archives website. Only senators and their staff who have security clearance can read the report in its entirety. It is absolutely critical that every senator read and consider the entire report before approving Negroponte's nomination. Negroponte is highly respected in diplomatic circles as "a man who speaks five languages but knows when to keep silent." Due to his urbane temperament and broad support in the professional diplomatic field, it will be very tempting for senators to whisk his nomination through.

My Pet Houseplants
I was pretty upset this morning. I took my dog, Tony, in for his ACL surgery. As I was signing the papers the vet assistant took him away. I know they probably did it to make the separation easier, but I am really sad.
My pet houseplants were a welcome distraction.
I am planning on potted plants as centerpieces for my November wedding so I am taking cuttings from my houseplants to multiply them out. There are nearly 40 tables to decorate!
One of my favorite plants that is dividing up well is this mystery plant:
Someone sent this plant to my grandma's funeral earlier this year. It has no label but I would like to know more about its care. Can anyone help me out?
I am out to my garden without my favorite gardening buddy. I am anxiously waiting for a call from the vet.

When NASA contracts out to companies, a lot of NASA staff, who were previously funded by the government, will look for their old jobs, but within those companies, or these people will lose their jobs. So, the names of the corporations in charge shift around a bit, & a lot of the workers just affiliate themselves with whoever's put in charge.
