I am trying to implement the pulldata() function in Survey123. This is my first time giving it a shot, so I anticipate the error lies in my work somewhere. I have drafted my survey's XLSform and uploaded the accompanying .csv file into the survey's media folder. What I want to do is be able to type a Parcel ID/Folio in, and then have address, owner, year built, etc. auto-populate in following text questions. I have succeeded in getting the pulldata() to work, since info is being populated into the form. However, the info being populated is wrong. You can see in the screenshot that only Address pulls correctly. I am pretty sure that I am referring to the correct column/table in my pulldata calculation, so the main question is why is it returning odd values? I have tried a handful of different Parcel IDs/Folios and all return the same thing.
I am not super familiar with .csv files, so maybe something is wrong with the way I converted and saved the spreadsheet? My methodology was to 1) compile all the data I wanted into a shapefile in ArcMap 2) export attributes to dBASE 3) conversion tools > table to Excel 4) Open in Excel and save as .csv standard comma delimited. I will attach my XLSform and .csv here.

WMUR.com first: Pro-GOP Senate Leadership Fund hits Hassan in new digital ad
Ad focuses on recent Hassan CNN interview on Clinton
A pro-Republican super PAC is launching a new digital ad on Friday hitting Gov. Maggie Hassan for her recent CNN interview in which she could not immediately say whether Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy.
The Hassan campaign issued a statement after the interview last week that she does believe Clinton is honest and trustworthy. But her reluctance to answer the question directly during the interview has drawn criticism.
The Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC allied with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is launching the ad, which shows the questions from a CNN reporter and Hassan's answers, with a narrator charging she was "dodging questions" and giving "fake answers," adding, "typical politician."
"Maggie Hassan – not an independent voice for New Hampshire," the narrator says.
Super PAC spokesman Ian Prior told WMUR.com that the digital ad will run for a week as pre-roll advertising and as a Facebook video. The fund is spending $30,000 on the ad, he said.
"In going out of her way to not answer the question of whether Hillary Clinton was trustworthy, Maggie Hassan just proved that she herself can't be trusted to level with New Hampshire families," Prior said.
While the buy for this digital ad is small, Prior said that the Senate Leadership Fund has reserved $15 million in television airtime for the fall general election campaign period, starting in September.
View the ad here and below.
Hassan campaign spokesman Aaron Jacobs responded to the ad, "Sen. Ayotte continues to support Donald Trump for president and refuses to say how she can trust him with the nuclear launch codes, despite the judgment of national security and military experts from her own party who say Trump is a danger to our national security."

Oracle's new generation of Exadata will be able to compete on price and still have the same high-end quality that their customers are used to. They have decided to take EMC/Cisco's idea and emulate it with a competing product that Ellison believes will be superior to what is currently available in the market.
Larry Ellison took the stage in the conference center of his company's headquarters Jan. 21 to unveil Oracle's X5 line of converged systems to staff, partners and customers.
Clearly comfortable in his new role as CTO, Ellison's passion for engineering was evident as he talked about the technical capabilities of the Virtual Compute Appliance, Exadata Database Machine and other upcoming Oracle products.
While he may have been wearing his engineer cap, Ellison was still ever the salesman, ever the combatant. With typical bravado, Oracle's founder threw down the gauntlet to Cisco and EMC, proclaiming he was ready to take them on in their own game of selling low-priced servers to power modern data centers.
Here's Ellison in his own words.
Gen 5
We're here to introduce the fifth generation of our engineered systems. Again, the idea is taking the hardware and software and during the engineering phase actually designing them to work together. We do the integration so you don't have to. But more than that we locate functions at the right place in the stack. If it's a storage function, we locate it closer to the storage. If it's a compute function, it's close to the compute service, and there's security through all layers, through the storage, through the networking and through compute.
This is our fifth generation of engineered systems called X5.
Data Center Trends
The biggest data center trends are these two-socket Intel servers which have a very, very low purchase price. People are building the core of their data center around these two-socket Intel servers. And almost always running Linux.
So it's a lot of two-socket servers, pretty much the cheapest servers you can buy, running an open-source operating system and people are building that as the core of their data center, and it's very attractive because it has a low purchase price.
You can make the argument, we make the argument, that these do-it-yourself data centers are expensive. You do the integration rather than we do the integration. Read Full Article.

There are numerous types of bags obtainable available in the market right this moment. From drawstring luggage to barrel luggage, it is time you begin storing your gym kit in fashion with every little thing at the prepared to achieve your objectives. It solely is available in one measurement: eight by eleven.5 by 10.5 inches or 1,950 cubic inches, a small-to-medium capacity, but that's enough for a spare set of garments, sneakers and some gentle gear.
Package baggage are crafted to carry essentially the most cumbersome sports activities gear, and are the largest of the three. As the duffel has no fewer than eight pockets, it is easy to maintain all your stuff organized, to not mention holding soiled gear separate from clean stuff. A customer referred to as John appreciated the multitude of pockets that made organization simple.
Keep all your athletic necessities organized with the newest gymnasium baggage from DICK'S Sporting Items. In that case, you're a gymnasium backpack: modern, succinct, and efficient at conserving your gymnasium gear transferring with you always. The Everest Fitness center Bag features a deep ventilated shoe pocket, metallic fasteners (as an alternative of plastic), three spare pockets, and a lifetime guarantee—exceptional options for the price.
A duffel bag, duffle bag, package bag or gym bag dubious – talk about is a large cylindrical bag made of fabric (or different material ), traditionally with a high closure. Much like All Stars, this can be a easy style-forward males's fitness center bag crafted from coated cotton canvas and that includes reinforced suitcase-style carry straps, each high and size zippered openings, and an internal organizer to maintain your gear in order.
It is sewn into the primary zipper so sometimes you need to tug the pocket away from something contained in the bag with the intention to get the bag to zip closed. Killspencer is known for making among the most luxurious males's gear out there – and their duffle bag is not any exception to that rule. And whereas the laundry pockets and a removable backside panel will increase the pliability of a bag, they're also the first things to obscure a misplaced merchandise of clothes or gear.

How to Get Your Money Back From Manila Bankers Life Insurance
- Call or text people using private numbers procured from some entity that has access to or collects personal data. Another way is to approach people at the mall (it's best if the person looks young or timid);
- Catch victim's attention with promises of freebies and discounts;
- Use praise, scare tactics or both to get the victim's guard down before proceeding into your practiced, company-approved spiel, repeatedly emphasizing the investment or protection aspect of the product;
- Ask to see victim's credit card or debit card, promise that it will only be used for verification purposes. Do everything possible to get victim to hand over the credit or debit card;
- Swipe the card and charge the highest amount possible without letting the victim know;
- Return card and pretend nothing was charged or debited;
- Get victim to sign insurance policy with authorization for credit or debit made. Do everything in your power to make sure that victim is unaware of what he/she is signing;
- If victim realizes that a charge was made, pretend that you had no control over what happened and there's nothing that can be done about it;
- Escort victim out the door. Feel your soul get closer to the eternal fires of Hell, but what the heck, you made a sale, so yay to you!

Raven's Challenge 60
Dancing With the Waves of the Sea
Today's Saying
The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it. ~Jules Renard
Today's Pictures
Ella at the Hairdresser
It is Saturday and time to play with words supplied by Raven's Wordzzle
This Week's Ten Word Challenge will be: preparation, tic-tac-toe, splurge, auction block, the bitter end, milk, papyrus, when the parade passes by, bill of lading, stone wall
Mini Challenge: polar bear, 20 seconds, get it together, spasmodic, antiquity
The Ongoing Adventures of Agent 012
Then the auctioneer announced that the papyrus was the next item up for bids. It was described as an ancient bill of lading in Egyptian that gave the owner full control of the slave. The slave was described in great detail but that part was left without being translated. Having waited to the bitter end Agent 012 just wanted this to be over.
The bidding began and it was soon obvious that it was going to be won by one of two men. Both of them looked like villains from an old melodrama with big mustaches. Each one had done his preparation for this moment and the bidding was fast and furious. That is it was fast and furious until the man in the gray sweater asked for another look at the parchment to be sure it was genuine. Once he had it in his hand he said some words in a strange language and his opponent disappeared. He just disappeared. There was no puff of smoke, no fire, no blinding light, he just disappeared. The auctioneer reached out for the parchment when the man said some different words and the auctioneer became a polar bear.
Agent 012 panicked. He hated polar bears. He hated polar bears more than any other animal. In his nightmares when the parade passes by he would be chased by polar bears. Now as he ran toward the stone wall he kept telling himself to get it together. But he wasn't listening. He was sure he had like 20 seconds before the polar bear ripped him to shreds.
This was not going to be his day.
His wife took one look at the budget , did her own figuring, and it became obvious the parade was about to pass him by again.
At first the activity of the polar bear had been spasmodic, going one way then another. But now it was heading straight for George and he figured he had 20 seconds to get it together, load the cross bow from the antiquity collection, and defend himself.
He failed.
It is Saturday and time to look back on the week in Pigeon Falls.
Tuesday-Fred Slovinsky went to Iron Mountain when he heard that the contents of the Polar Bear Hardware Store were being auctioned off because the store was in bankruptcy. The two owners had held on to the bitter end but economic reality was against them. He bid on some stone wall tile when it came up on the auction block and thinks he got a really great buy at least according to the original bill of lading. He certainly didn't splurge. Nobody pinches a nickel tighter than Fred.
Wednesday– The school is in an uproar over speedy tic-tac-toe. Each player has only 20 seconds to put their x or o . If they go over the time limit they lose. It's played at lunch time with screaming, shouting, and betting. Some kids have lost their milk money. Parents are so upset they are saying that if the school doesn't get it together there will be changes next school board election.
Thursday– The Pigeon Falls Day Committee has begun its preperation for the parade. They have blocked out where they will need crowd control when the parade passes by to avoid what happened last year.
Friday– Nancy Silo complained to Nancy at the Coffee Shop that the Bishop was hostile to her. She is willing to bet if you found a papyrus from antiquity concerning bats and the church the Bishop then would favor the pastor. Despite her somewhat spasmodic campaign to get rid of the bats she maintains she has nothing against Pastor Joan." She is just to pregnant to think straight." Nancy says.
Of course the dragons were busy today you can see them HERE.
Pennie took Ella to the Hairdresser with her. They liked Ella so much they gave her the whole treatment and didn't even charge her.
Another marvelous day. My oxygen level held steady. Used only one small tank all day. Went with two of the boys, Melli, "Mom" and Betty to the train show in Green Bay. I got a great bargain. Went from there to Pete's house for lunch and then played two games of canasta. Melli and I against Betty and Lori while everybody else went to the Packer draft. We won one and lost one. Now I'm home and need a breathing treatment. I promise that once Melli leaves I will catch up on my blog visits.

Love & Miss
I love and miss my grandmother very much. She and I were very close. She taught me a lot. I was actually trying to remember some of the things she used to say to put in this post. But it was difficult, so I asked my dad. He also had trouble so he asked his aunt, my grandmother's sister. She also had trouble coming up with anything. The thing about my grandmother was that she was a woman of action. She led by example. She always made you feel loved but she never took any shit either.
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins tomorrow. I just want to take the time to remember her for who she was and what she meant and still means to me.

The City of Bethel's Community Action Grant (CAG) Technical Review Board met on June 12th, 2019 to decide which organizations would be receiving the next round of CAG awards.
The CAG board chose the Bethel Wrestling Club and the Friends of the Kuskokwim Consortium Library 2019 Summer Reading Program for the Year 2/Quarter 2 awards.
Each applicant is scored and the CAG board has an opportunity to ask them questions about their applications. Incomplete applications are not able to be processed.
The CAG board recommended awarding $5,000 to the Bethel Wrestling Club to help cover costs associated with holding a wrestling summer camp in 2019. The Summer Reading Program's recommended award was $6,000 for program costs associated with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) programming and book giveaways.
Action Memorandum 19-36 was introduced by Acting City Manager Bill Howell that would authorize and approve city administration to issue checks to the CAG awardees based on the CAG Committee's work on scoring applications and deciding how much to award each applicant.
The CAG Committee accepted two applications received during the open application period from May 1, 2019 to May 30, 2019. The total funding recommendation amount is in the FY 2019 budget and available for distribution.
The City of Bethel established the Community Action Grant Program to allow community and individuals the request financial support for programs or events that contribute to the health, welfare, and overall quality of life for residents of Bethel, especially its most vulnerable populations.
Funding for the program comes from 20% of the Alcohol Tax collected by the City. The Community Action Grant Technical Review Board was created to develop a process to solicit grant applications, review them, and recommend funding selections to City Council.
Council voted unanimously to approve Action Memo 19-36.
Also at the June 12th CAG committee meeting, board member Grady Deaton was elected as Chairman, and council representative Leif Albertson was elected as Vice Chairman for the Community Action Grant committee.

Locating the best local tradesman for your roofing needs can be a daunting task. If you're having trouble finding the right person to fix your roof, then read on.
When it comes to repairing or replacing your roof, there are numerous factors that need to be considered. The first step in finding the right professional is to determine what type of roof you have.
By knowing what type of roof you have, the next step in finding the right contractor for your roofing needs is determining the condition of your roof. It's possible to find out this information by contacting a local home improvement store or using an online company. These companies should be able to tell you the extent of damage to your roof and if there is any structural damage.
Your next step is to contact your insurance company to determine what kind of coverage you have. You may also want to check with your lender to see if they will be covering any parts of the roof that was damaged during the repair. Lastly, find out if your insurance company covers any other necessary repairs.
Your next step is to contact your insurance company to find out if they will be paying for the cost of the work. Sometimes the repair of your roof will not require a new roof, so be sure to make sure you pay for a new roof as well as any repairs that you are required to make.
The next step is to contact the home owner and find out if the contractor will be working on their home or a different property. This is usually a big consideration, since it is possible to end up with two completely different contractors.
Once you have determined which contractor you would like to work with, start looking for references. Make sure you contact more than one contractor, so that you can get feedback from each one.
Find out if the contractor will be working at your home regularly. Some roofers take care of projects for themselves, while others do projects for all types of clients. Finding a contractor that works on a regular basis may help you find them quickly, since they may work on other jobs as well.
Lastly, ask about how long the contractor has been in business. This will help you determine if they are experienced or not. Often times, these contractors specialize in certain types of roofs, so they have knowledge that might be useful to you.
Once you have a short list of qualified contractors that fit your needs, you should call each one to discuss your project. During the conversation, find out what materials they will be using, and what methods of installation they will use. Ask about any special tools or equipment that may be needed.
Ask each contractor to explain what services they offer and whether or not they can provide those services in your location. If they can't, it may be a good idea to find someone else. Since everyone has different needs, the best way to determine if they can perform a particular job is to have them complete the job for you.
The best local roofing contractor is likely to fit your needs. By getting several estimates, asking questions about each one, and hiring someone that is knowledgeable and skilled, you can find the right contractor to help you with your roofing needs.

Trump talks tough on extremism in Middle East - but it's guns, oil, and money that matter
The United States must have oil, sell weapons and pursue non-nuclear conflict to keep the All-American money-making show on the road. Once these bases are covered, and business isn't affected the US president can get away with almost anything.
That is until you're impeached for indiscretions at home. Trump's troubles over his sacking of FBI chief James Comey will take time to play out.
So he took advantage of the traditional presidential method of getting a break from criticism and stress at home - A foreign visit to lap up the adulation from a compliant ally. Where better to start than Saudi Arabia? That autocratic state is one of America's best international allies.
His wife Melania was with him – she only accompanies him on the most important events.
The most anticipated event was an address to the leaders of 55 Arab majority countries at the Arab-Islamic-American summit in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday. There he talked tough, but not too tough. President Trump may be making significant errors at home, but he didn't put a foot wrong in Saudi Arabia during his first visit abroad.
He was given the rare honor of being greeted at Riyadh airport by King Salman.
Great to be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Looking forward to the afternoon and evening ahead. #POTUSAbroadpic.twitter.com/JJOra0KfyR— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2017
Having flown overnight from the United States he touched down on Saturday morning, and the 70-year-old was straight into a 13-hour working day.
At a ceremony in the royal court, the king placed the Order of Abdulaziz Al Saud medal, the nation's highest civilian honor, around Trump's neck. The medal has also been bestowed on his predecessor, Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
The king and president were overheard discussing natural resources and arms, and the king bemoaned the destruction caused by Syria's civil war.
The important business of the visit a $100 billion ($350 billion over 10 years) arms deal with Saudi Arabia was quickly sealed. That will create jobs in the US, which will keep his supporters happy at home and keep his Saudi Arabian allies armed to the teeth.
Once that was done all we had to see, on the second day, was whether President Trump could perform the rhetorical equivalent of using the correct cutlery at the dinner table. Trump may be brash, impetuous, and sometimes reckless but he is no fool. And this is what angers his opponents so much. He makes mistakes but not fatal ones (at least not yet). He performed well here, didn't insult anybody and drove home the old strategic preferences of the United States.
Trump had come to power calling for a ban on Muslims entering the US and telling his supporters that "Islam hates us."
He slammed Obama for refusing to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism."
President Trump repeatedly used that phrase during the campaign last year. As recently as Wednesday, in a speech at the US Coast Guard Academy, Mr. Trump said: "We have to stop radical Islamic terrorism."
Such a generalization causes great offense in the Middle East.
President Trump's foreign affairs advisers counseled that a repeat would cause mayhem. Worse it could jeopardize future arms deals and oil trade. So he didn't use it.
He did call on Muslim leaders across the globe to confront the "crisis of Islamic extremism."
In the speech he also stressed the need to combat "the crisis of Islamic extremism and the Islamists and Islamic terror of all kinds."
Not a huge difference to many Western listeners, but that's what diplomacy is about.
President Donald Trump embodies a supercharged, no frills version of the United States. He brought all the loves and prejudices of the heartland America out into the open. He talks about making America great again and he wants to appear tough on Islamic terrorism. With these aims comes a lot of rhetoric that can be bigoted and racist. But these aims are ultimately about making money. And the billionaire understands money.
Money plays the pivotal role in US/Middle Eastern alliances.
These are the basic tenets of US Middle East policy, they are worth stating to understand fully Trump's address to the Arab leaders yesterday.

Firstly, after the Second World War, along with Britain, and mostly for naïve altruistic reasons, the United States was most responsible for helping set up the state of Israel. And they've stuck by Israel through thick and thin since its foundation in 1948.
The US conducts $35 billion a year of trade with Israel.
The United States recently completed a $38 billion dollar arms deal with Israel, and after the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, it is America's third largest weapons' customer.
And no US president or presidential candidate will survive opposing the pro-Israel lobby in the United States. Trump wants to survive politically.
Since the Shah of Iran was overthrown in 1979 Iran has vowed to continue the revolution by obliterating Israel and opposing its 'Crusader' US supporters. Iran supports Hezbollah, which threatens Israel from the Palestinian territories and other Middle Eastern states. So since 1979, the US has opposed Iran. To oppose a massive power like Iran, you need further allies in the Middle East. And despite many of the 9/11 attackers coming from Saudi Arabia, the US has grown closer to that country over the last two decades.
Conveniently Saudi Arabia has the world's second largest oil reserves – 268,300,000 barrels (first is Venezuala, considered a Communist rogue state by the US).
ISIS (Islamic State) in its various guises continues to destabilize what was supposed to be a stable new US ally in the Middle East, Iraq. And the tragedy in Syria contributed to by ISIS and others continues to destabilize the region. So ISIS must be obliterated.
As investigative journalist Max Blumenthal points out elsewhere in RT op-edge, the "American Empire sees Saudi Arabia as its bulwark" against Iran and others in the region.
'Sucking up to Saudis is long US tradition, every president does it' (Op-Edge) https://t.co/ut1Ny3ew8Xhttps://t.co/rH9km0XB4Apic.twitter.com/RLm6PaihXk— RT (@RT_com) 21 мая 2017 г.
President Trump yesterday said, "let me now also extend my deep and heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the distinguished heads of state who made this journey here today." The head of state of Iran was not among them.
And when he said America "will not seek to impose our way of life on others" he meant countries like Saudi Arabia. He did not mean Iraq, which over a million people have died during US efforts to do just that. And he did not mean Syria where the US continues to intervene.
In the speech to Arab leaders he said that America's goal "is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God."
It depends on what your definition of extremism is, as the Saudi Arabia state is a strict adherent to Sharia law. In Saudi Arabia, the death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offenses including murder, rape and armed robbery. But lesser and more obscure 'offenses' that are punishable by death include 'witchcraft' and 'sorcery.'
Death sentences can be carried out by beheading with a sword, stoning or firing squad. Crucifixion is an option. Homosexual acts are punishable by flogging, imprisonment or death.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal, vicious police state so court rooms routinely rubber stamp convictions without proper trial.
And when he said in Riyadh that the aim of those assembled should be "providing our children a hopeful future" it is safe to assume he was referring only to male children. Saudi Arabia forbids women from obtaining a passport, marrying, or traveling abroad without the approval of a male guardian, usually a husband, father, brother, or son.
They are not even allowed to drive a car.
Saudi Arabia has been indiscriminately bombing Yemeni civilians for 18 months in a long running intervention.
#Trump should discuss avoiding 'the likes of new 9/11' while in Saudi Arabia – Iran FM https://t.co/3Sus03bWNPpic.twitter.com/yqZdnr9xEI— RT (@RT_com) 21 мая 2017 г.
When Trump says he wants to fight Islamic terror he means opposing terror that threatens US allies, interests and business. He did not mean terror of the state institutionalized kind that is practiced in Saudi Arabia. Or Saudi Arabia's terror campaign in Yemen.
And that hypocrisy extends universally when it comes to Saudi Arabia, which is so oil rich and strategically important to Western interests.
Shockingly Saudi was recently re-elected to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations.
And laughably it was voted to serve on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. No laughing matter if you're a woman. Then again this won't worry President Trump, who was recorded boasting about groping women.
Unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama, this US president made no mention of human rights or democracy.
President Obama, a Democrat, was less of an adherent to establishment tenets. He was thawing the US-Iran freeze, but Trump has reversed that.
Yesterday Trump singled out Iran for criticism, accusing it of fueling sectarian conflict and supporting "unspeakable crimes" by the government of President Bashar Assad in Syria.
The speech was full of black and white Trumpisms - "This is a battle between good and evil."
And the apocalyptic language favored by his speech writers "Drive them [terrorists] out of this earth."
He implored the favored leaders to join the US in its selective crusades; "With God's help, this summit will mark the beginning of the end for those who practice terror and spread its vile creed."
Rhetoric reassures your allies and threatens your enemies. It reinforces your stance, and in Trump's case, while roared into a microphone, it tells those two groups where they stand with a phenomenon who is still an unknown quantity to many.
Yet as the Arab leaders looked closely they will have seen that this rebel is more establishment than many believe. Trump was re-establishing the ancien regime order after Obama's dalliances with Iran and criticisms of Saudi Arabia. And he was reassuring those that America needs in the Middle East that business with America is back where it should be – booming.
He made sure his Arab friends knew that a lot of what was said last year was just election talk. Things remain on track in the Middle East for Trump, though they may unravel at home before he returns again.
Now it's on to meet Pope Frances in Rome. Since the Vatican doesn't need American weapons he may find he is in for a tougher time there.

From Aditi Khanna
London, May 3 (PTI) Talking tough, UK Prime Minister Theresa May today accused European politicians and officials of issuing "threats" to influence the upcoming general election in her country.
May called upon Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace and marked the dissolution of the 650-member House of Commons or the lower house.
The British Prime Ministers strongly-worded statement at the doorstep of her official Downing Street residence in London minutes after her visit to the Palace highlighted the centrality of Britains exit from the European Union (EU) as the main issue in the upcoming polls.
She reiterated her resolve to get a good deal for Britain and make a success of Brexit with her "strong and stable" leadership, as opposed to Opposition Labour partys "coalition of chaos".
"Whoever wins on June 8 will face one overriding task: to get the best possible deal for this United Kingdom from Brexit...while there is enormous opportunity for Britain as we leave the European Union, if we do not get this right, the consequences will be serious," the 60-year-old leader warned.
In reference to recent reports in the German press of a deepening divide between the UK and the EU over Brexit negotiations, she said: "Britains negotiating position in Europe has been misrepresented in the continental press".
The European Commissions negotiating stance has hardened.
"Threats against Britain have been issued by European politicians and officials. All of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election that will take place on June 8."
She also repeated her firm position of "no deal is better for Britain than a bad deal".
"But we want a deal. We want a deep and special partnership with the European Union? But the events of the last few days have shown that - whatever our wishes, and however reasonable the positions of Europes other leaders - there are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to succeed," she said.
Mays meeting with the 91-year-old monarch marks the formal start of campaigning for the June 8 general election, even though all political parties have already begun canvassing votes around the UK.
"The 2015 Parliament is now at an end, and in 36 days the country will elect a new Government and choose the next Prime Minister. The choice you now face is all about the future," May noted.
Under UK law, the Parliament must be dissolved at least 25 working days beforea general election.
However, Parliament is "prorogued" several days ahead ofbeing dissolved, meaning that all parliamentary business stops butthe Parliament still technically exists untildissolution.
After the dissolution, every seat inthe House ofCommons becomesvacant and members ofparliament temporarily lose all privileges associated withtheir station.
But MPs with ministerial positions continue with their duties until the elections.
The British PM had received Parliaments backing last month to hold a snap general election on June 8 and is currently leading in most opinion polls to win a majority mandate for her Conservative party, which she believes she needs to carry Brexit negotiations forward.
Mays snap polls took everyone by surprise, including the Queen ? who will have to "dress-down" for the new UK Parliament opening next month due to shortage of time to rehearse for the event.
The British monarch is responsible for the ceremonial State Opening of Parliament business every year, which involves considerable pomp and ceremony including being dressed up in flowing robes.
However, this time the Queen is expected to wear a day dress and hat for the ceremony instead and not the imperial state crown as she delivers the Queens Speech outlining the government?s plans for the year ahead on June 19 - the day the new MPs take their seats in the Commons.
The date also means that the Queen has had to cancel the Order of the Garter ceremony when she hands over royal medals at Windsor Castle, for the first time in 30 years.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "To allow her majesty to attend in support of the parliamentary and constitutional process, the Queens programme of engagements has been revised".
"As a result, the annual service for the Order of the Garter, which had been due to take place on 19th June, has been cancelled. Additionally, owing to the revised calendar, the state opening of Parliament will take place with reduced ceremonial elements," the statement added.PTI AK UZM AKJ UZM

What was once purple prose from a hacky concert reviewer has become real: On the last night of this year's leg of the Wasted Light tour, the Foo Fighters literally moved the Earth in Auckland, New Zealand, where the band's show for 50,000 fans caused tremors similar to those generated by a volcano. Two seismic stations in the Auckand GeoNet network first picked up vibrations during the opening set by Tenacious D, and then stronger activity that coincided with the Foo Fighters' nearly three-hour performance. Apparently there were even "lulls in the signal between the songs and peaks in signal intensity during the songs." According to the GeoNet blog post, "the cause of the shaking is most likely the weight of the 50,000 fans dancing, as 50,000 fans is equal to around 5,000 tonnes of mass moving (or moshing) on the ground for the duration of the concert." That and the overwhelmingly monumental and bruisingly titanic power of a fire-breathing, skyscraper-destroying, world-annihilating Godzilla-sized rock monster. (Too purple?)

As we've been reporting throughout this campaign season, voters in key Midwestern states are going to decide the outcome of the presidential election.
CNN's Miguel Marquez has traveled across that region, taking the pulse of voters. This morning, we catch up with him in Davenport, Iowa...in the heart of roller derby country.
Davenport is in Scott County, one of several battleground counties in the U.S. As Marquez reports, in this county alone there are enough votes to turn the state blue or red.
Marquez, no stranger to a challenge, straps on some skates and a helmet (it will be important for the end of the piece) to get in the minds of a few derby voters. Check out the video above to see what he learned from these fierce voters.
Coming up later in the week, Marquez will meet voters in Jefferson County in Colorado.

EraOrganics Oasis Moisturizer for Dry Skin!
All Purpose Skin Cream!
This is a nice, thick cream with a very light scent that soaks right in. It makes my skin feel a lot more moisturized and healthy. It is chock full of great ingredients. You get a good size jar. It is very moisturizing but not greasy. It has a slight scent of cocoa butter. I have been using it morning and night. My skin looks a lot better.
Loaded with natural ingredients, this is not just for your face. It is good for any skin irritaations and dry spots. My elbows are super dry and itchy, sometimes they bleed from me scratching them and pulling the dry skin off. I have used this daily for the last week and they are almost healed. They are not itchy any more and new skin is growing in.
I love that it is cruelty free and made in the USA.

John Oliver opened last night's Last Week Tonight with the grudging admission that Trump will continue to dominate the news cycle (even the weekly one) "the way a fart dominates the interior of a Volkswagen Beetle: there is simply no escape from him." So if we have to deal with a noxious, orange cloud running the country for a while longer, perhaps it's time to get to the bottom of his ties to Russia. Trump did cape for the Putin's homeland during his big Super Bowl interview, after all, insisting to Bill O'Reilly that America's got blood on its hands, too. Which is, uh, fair?, Oliver guesses—but does it really compare to the oppressive state that is Russia, he wonders in the long segment.
The answer is no, of course, but Oliver's investigative piece—which details Putin's extravagance and ridiculously good luck, as well as his opponents who've been felled by seeming bad luck—isn't really intended for his viewers. The host is simply sticking to his resolution to educate the president, whether it's through cool cowboy commercials, or set to a techno beat.

Dollar cost averaging is the act of consistently investing in a particularly security over a set interval of time. Most like to invest every two weeks or every month since that's when most get paychecks.
For example, let's say you've got $2,000 left a month after you contribute to your 401k and pay your basic living expenses. You invest $1,000 every single month into the S&P 500 ETF, SPY, regardless of whether it's reaching record highs or going into the crapper. That's dollar cost averaging.
The great thing about dollar cost averaging is that you don't have to think too much. All you have to do is not forget to invest, and eventually your financial nut will grow so large you'll achieve make it rain status.
Growing your wealth is all about practicing good financial habits that last over the long run. Sticking with a system of saving and investing will do way more than trying to uncover than unicorn stock for most.
At some point in your life you will either have a financial windfall (year-end bonus, inheritance, gift). There might also be violent corrections in the stock market as you'll see in a chart below.
Given the stock market trajectory over the long-term is up and to the right, you should come up with a framework on how to best take advantage of opportunities in a methodical way.
Here's how I think about how much to dollar cost average. It's kind of an oxymoron to "figure out" how much to dollar cost average, but hear me out. Hopefully my framework will help you better deploy your cash.
A Better Dollar Cost Averaging Strategy
Hopefully most of you agree with the logical proposal of FS-DAIR, my debt pay down or invest ratio that says to use your highest interest rate debt to determine the percentage of disposable income allocated towards paying down said debt. e.g. 6% student loan debt = 60% of disposable income to pay down debt, 40% to invest. The percentage split doesn't have to be exact. FS-DAIR simply provides a guideline.
Before initiating my aggressive early mortgage pay off strategy, I was investing around 65% of all disposable income into the stock market because my highest debt interest rate is currently a 3.375% rental mortgage.
For illustrative purposes, let's say my monthly after-tax disposable income after basic living expenses is $10,000. Without fail, I will invest $6,500 a month into a structured note or an index ETF. $3,500 would go towards paying down debt.
But the reality is that I can invest $0 – $10,000 a month in the market so long as my income keeps flowing in (build multiple income streams!). Furthermore, I've always got some cash sitting on the sidelines waiting to be deployed for investments, operating needs, or emergencies.
The first step to deciding on how much to invest beyond your average investment amount is to research what is the average daily change in the S&P 500. See the chart below by Bespoke Group.
We've gone from a crazy 3-4% average daily change swing during the recession to a relatively mild +/- 0.76% by July 2011. Volatility came back with a vengeance in 4Q2018, remained steady for most of 2019, until it struck again in August 2019.
To smooth things out, I've drawn a line at a +/- 1% change. During times of low volatility, when there is high volatility the changes are more significant.
My bogey for when I'll be investing more than my normal 60%-70% a month is when the S&P 500 corrects by more than 1% that day or since the last time I dollar cost averaged.
For example, let's say the return on the S&P 500 is -1.5% from two weeks ago since I last invested $6,500, I'll be looking to invest $6,501-$10,000 that month at the expense of paying down debt.
Exactly how much one should invest is a judgement call that depends on liquidity beyond the bi-weekly or monthly cash flow, and one's existing net worth allocation makeup.
The worse your target index performs beyond your bogey, the more you should consider investing.
For example, if your bogey is -1% and the S&P 500 declines by 1.8% since your last investment, consider allocating 80% of the money that would have gone to pay down debt towards your investment. In this case, I'll take 80% of $3,500 and invest it instead.
As of now, we've been talking about when to invest more in the stock market. But we can also use the same strategy in reverse.
For example, let's say the stock market is up 1.5% since you last invested, or 50% higher than your bogey. You could conceivably reduce your dollar cost average by 50% $3,750 in my case (from $6,500), and use the other $6,250 to pay down principal instead.
Buy low, sell high right?
Here's another great visual highlighting the historical S&P 500 volatility from 2009 – 2019. As you can see from the chart, the S&P 500 usually moves between -1% and +1%.
Counting Cards Analogy
For any of you who play blackjack, the strategy is similar to pressing your bets when the odds are in your favor. Let's say you are playing single deck blackjack. The Hi-Lo system subtracts one for each dealt ten, Jack, Queen, King or Ace, and adds one for any value 2-6. Values 7-9 are assigned a value of zero and therefore do not affect the count.
The idea is that high cards (especially aces and 10s) benefit the player more than the dealer, while the low cards, (especially 4s, 5s, and 6s) help the dealer while hurting the player.
When the count is super high (when a lot of low cards have been dealt, meaning the probability of high cards being dealt has increased), you are encouraged to bet more to increase your total payout..
Obviously, nothing is a guarantee. I'm just trying to give you an analogy of how professional gamblers utilize a system to stay disciplined and try to increase their odds.
Unlike gambling, investing in the stock market is usually not a zero sum game. You might lose 20% on your investment, but you seldom lose 100% of your investment like in gambling, unless you go on margin and get wiped out.
Here is a great chart that shows the biggest one day gains and losses in the S&P 500 as well.
Compare Investment Performance To A Risk-Free Rate
It's always good to compare market movements to existing risk-free rates of return. I like to look at the latest 5-year average CD interest rate and the 10-year government bond yield as benchmarks. Buying these instruments will guarantee you a 2.2%-2.5% return per annum and all your principal back if you hold until maturity.
If the markets are correcting by similar levels to the interest rate return, and if you are bullish on the stock market over the medium-to-long term, then all the more reason to increase your dollar cost average contribution during this time period.
Of course, nobody knows where exactly the market is going, which is why we are consistently diversified between stocks and bonds.
I personally like to look at indexes or securities that have corrected by at least the guaranteed 10-year government bond yield AND provides a dividend yield of at least the 10-year government bond yield. I feel like I'm getting a deal, despite the reasons for a decline in the first place.
Whenever an index ETF is providing a greater dividend yield than the 10-year bond yield, that is one of the main buying indicators in my opinion.
No Need To Over Think Things
The purpose of dollar cost averaging is to make investing easy for the average person who is not all caught up in the stock market. Taking the maximum 401k contribution limit of $19,000 and investing $730 every two weeks into whatever index fund you like is the most common way to dollar cost average.
I believe consistently investing over time is more than 80% of the battle to achieving great wealth. It's how everybody can get to $1 million dollars in their 401k by age 60. The people who wonder where their money went often lacked the discipline to keep on investing.
Figure out how much you can comfortably invest each paycheck and get going. You might not agree with a +/- 1% bogey for when to contribute less or more than average. That's OK. Figure out your own bogey.
Then track your net worth and your portfolios online to make sure your risk exposure is appropriate with your risk tolerance. You also want to make sure you aren't paying excessive fees.
I ran my portfolio through their 401k Fee Analyzer and found that I was paying $1,750 in portfolio fees I had no idea I was paying! I would have paid over $90,000 in fees over 20 years if I didn't get rid of my expensive actively managed mutual funds that were charging 0.75%-1.3% active management fees.
Manage Your Finances In One Place: The best way to become financially independent to get a handle on your finances by signing up with Personal Capital. They are a free online platform which aggregates all your financial accounts in one place so you can see where you can optimize.
Before Personal Capital, I had to log into eight different systems to track 25+ difference accounts (brokerage, multiple banks, 401K, etc) to manage my finances. Now, I can just log into Personal Capital to see how my stock accounts are doing and how my net worth is progressing. I can also see how much I'm spending every month.
Invest Your Money Efficiently: Betterment, the leading digital wealth advisor, is an excellent choice for those who want the lowest fees and can't be bothered with actively managing their money themselves once they've gone through the discovery process. All you'll be responsible for is methodically contributing to your investment account over time to build wealth.
In the long run, it is very hard to outperform any index, therefore, the key is to pay the lowest fees possible while being invested in the market.

Kott Conviction Thrown Out, New Trial Ordered
Associated Press
A federal appeals court has thrown out the conviction of another former Alaska lawmaker charged in a wide-sweeping corruption probe.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today vacated the conviction of former House Speaker Pete Kott, and ordered a new trial. Kott's corruption case arose during maneuverings around oil tax legislation in 2006. He was convicted by a federal jury of conspiracy, extortion and bribery and sentenced to six years in federal prison.
Kott went to prison but was released when prosecutors acknowledged they failed to turn over favorable evidence to the defense – the same issue that led to the reversal this month of the government's case against former lawmaker Vic Kohring and the earlier collapse of a corruption case against the late-U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.
Testimony On Oil Tax Overhaul Begins
Rosemarie Alexander, KTOO – Juneau
Public testimony is being taken today and tomorrow on Governor Parnell's plan to reduce oil production taxes. For weeks, two House committees have been hearing about the bill from administration officials, the oil industry and the business community, but tonight is the first opportunity for the public to speak.
The House Finance Committee teleconference runs until 8:00 p.m. Another teleconference for public testimony is scheduled for Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Parnell's House Bill 110 reduces the amount of taxes oil companies would pay – in the hope it would spur more investment in Alaska. While oil company representatives support the plan, they've given no assurances their companies would put more in Alaska in exchange for lower production taxes.
Meanwhile, Governor Parnell again chastised the Senate for doing nothing on the legislation. It's being heard in the Senate Resources Committee, but Parnell says it's not moving fast enough.
Even if oil companies promised more investment, it would be years before any new oil reached the pipeline.
Senate President Gary Stevens has been sitting through Senate Resource hearings on Parnell's legislation and says the committee will set it aside in favor of a bill sponsored by Senator Tom Wagoner. Senate Bill 85 bill does not change the oil tax regime.
While some legislators believe Wagoner's bill could jump start production again, Stevens says there's no guarantee any oil tax bills will pass this session. Under Parnell's legislation, the state would forego an estimated 2 million dollars a year in oil tax revenue, based on current prices.
"We just can't give away the farm, Stevens says.
New Discovery Questions Land Bridge Theory
Lorie Townsend, APRN – Anchorage
An archeological find in Texas will help rewrite the history of when and how the first Americans arrived in Alaska. The site includes thousands of artifacts that date back more than 15,000 years. That means the popular theory that Clovis humans crossed the Bering Land Bridge into Alaska 13 thousand years ago is dead.
Dr. Mike Waters, at Texas A&M University, discovered the site in Texas, north of Austin. He and colleagues uncovered about 16,000 artifacts, and he says the sheer volume of the find makes it very unique.
Local Milk Production Bounces Back
Ellen Lockyer, KSKA – Anchorage
The loss of Alaska's Matanuska Maid dairy at the end of 2007 devastated dairy farmers in the Matanuska Valley. Now, more than three years later, the state's milk production has recovered from a low in 2009, when Alaska milk production dropped 17%, to rebound at the end of last year. As KSKA's Ellen Lockyer reports, the Matanuska Creamery in Wasilla can take much of the credit for that upswing, although the plight of the dairy farmers is still far from over.
Democrats Look To Grow Denali KidCare
Josh Edge, APRN – Anchorage
Alaska Senate Democrats are restarting an effort to expand access to the Denali KidCare program. The Senate Health and Social Services Committee held a hearing regarding the legislation Wednesday afternoon. A similar piece of legislation was vetoed by the Governor last year.
Parnell Stands Behind Judicial Council Pick
Associated Press
Governor Sean Parnell says he stands behind a controversial nominee for Judicial Council. Senate Judiciary Committee members called into question the objectivity of Don Haase after reading posts appearing under his name on the Alaska Eagle Forum's blog.
Haase, a Valdez oil terminal worker and former candidate for the state House of Representatives, said he did not write the posts and only posted them in his capacity as president of the conservative group.
The seven-member Judicial Council is responsible for forwarding nominations to fill open judge positions to the governor. Parnell told reporters he has confidence in Haase and believes he can be objective.
Strange Snowballs Appear in Village

Southeast Herring Fisherman Face Slow Start
Melati Kaye, KCAW – Sitka
Every year, the Sitka Sound Sac Roe herring fishery kicks off Southeast Alaska's spring commercial fishing season. Last year, March 24 marked the fishery's first opening. This year, despite the fact that seiners and tenders have already filled town harbors, biologists are seeing signs of a slower start to the season.
