Daddy By Tuhin Sinha
Language - English ISBN number - 978-93-5106-466-4
With gender dynamics changing the world over, parenting is a key area where this change is most perceptible. Modern dads today have no inhibitions in changing their baby's diapers, spending sleepless nights catering to their newborn or looking after the baby while the mother is at work. They often tend to be more patient and indulgent with the baby, a marked shift from the way Indian fathers used to be a few decades ago.
Daddy, a first of its kind Indian book, provides a rare parenting insight from a father's perspective, and looks at issues, concerns and joys that every new father goes through. Combining personal narrative, with stories from new fathers and leading medical practitioners, the book brings together ideas on involved fatherhood and explores the changing relationship dynamic between a couple after the baby arrives. In more ways than one, it celebrates the spirit of new age fatherhood.
Fatherhood has been the most amazing life altering experience for me..Daddy is a one of its kind book that celebrates the emotion of being a father, besides being a ready handbook for all new fathers as well as those planning to go the family way.
'Daddy' proves that fatherhood is an inner calling and a passion! It shows how you can find time to be a hands-on father despite all your professional commitments-

The Boston Red Sox suddenly have a job opening, and they need to fill it fast.
The Red Sox and manager Alex Cora mutually agreed to part ways Tuesday after Major League Baseball implicated Cora in a major sign-stealing scandal with the 2017 Houston Astros.
Cora is expected to be banned from baseball for at least one season, and the Red Sox are still subject to an MLB investigation into their own sign-stealing operation under Cora in 2018.
LIVE stream the Celtics all season and get the latest news and analysis on all of your teams from NBC Sports Boston by downloading the My Teams App.
In the meantime, though, new Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom and his staff need to find a replacement for Cora in 2020.
We laid out some internal candidates Tuesday, including Red Sox bench coach Ron Roenicke, former catcher Jason Varitek and second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
But who could Boston bring in from outside the organization? The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal ruled out an intriguing candidate Wednesday morning in Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro, who worked with Bloom in Tampa Bay and was a finalist for the Pittsburgh Pirates' and San Francisco Giants' manager jobs this offseason.
#Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro unlikely to be a candidate for #RedSox's managerial opening. Rays staffers who have left organization to become GMs and managers in past typically have not taken other employees with them. Some teams have rules in place to that effect.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 15, 2020
Here's a look at seven other external candidates the Red Sox could hire to replace Cora:
John Gibbons
The former Blue Jays manager had an up-and-down tenure in Toronto but has 1,581 games of managerial experience in the American League East. Gibbons stated last October he wants to return to managing after taking the 2019 season off.
Brad Ausmus
A Connecticut native, Ausmus interviewed for the Red Sox manager job in 2017 before Cora won the role. He has five total years of managing experience with the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels, although he was fired in L.A. after just one season.
Dusty Baker
Baker ranks 15th all-time in wins by an MLB manager and is one of the most well-respected figures in baseball. He hasn't managed since 2017 and has yet to manage an AL team, but if the Red Sox want to go the safe route, Baker would be a solid choice.
Mike Lowell
Here's where the list gets interesting. Like Varitek and Pedroia, Lowell is beloved in Boston after winning 2007 World Series MVP with the Red Sox. He has no managerial experience but currently works in media as an MLB Network analyst and could make the same transition to managing that Cora and Aaron Boone made.
Raul Ibanez
Ibanez has a cushy gig as special assistant to Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. The former outfielder has interest in managing at some point, though, so perhaps the chance to compete for a championship in Boston will lure him into the coaching world.
Mark Loretta
Another former Red Sox player, Loretta served as Joe Maddon's bench coach with the Chicago Cubs last season and interviewed for the manager job that David Ross eventually won. He's a less sexy candidate than Lowell but has more experience.
Craig Breslow
The Yale graduate just landed a job as "Director of Strategic Initiatives for Baseball Operations" on Theo Epstein's Cubs staff and is one of the smartest minds in the game. He had two separate stints in Boston as a player, though, so maybe the Red Sox could entice him with the chance to work with the analytically-minded Bloom.

A CurtainUp Review
Marvin's Room
By Elyse Sommer
As the play opens, Marvin's daughter Bessie, who's been his devoted caretaker all those years, is diagnosed with leukemia. Unless she can get a bone marrow transplant she's more likely to die before Marvin and her Aunt Ruth, whose forgetfulness and constant pain from a back condition make her another charge rather than an assistant care taker.
When Marvin's Room had its New York premiere at Playwrights Horizon in 1991 it resonated with a special depth since the AIDS epidemic was at its height. With no happy ending to McPherson's unflinching look at death, it was hardly a setup for a feel good theatrical experience.
Yet, though the playwright was influenced by the plague that had already struck his lover and to which he would succumb shortly thereafter, it was never an AIDS play. Instead, it was a one-of-a-kind look at how love and caring can ease the journey through a brutal fate as well as how families can fall apart and come together again. McPherson made Bessie and her family memorably and endearingly human — and, yes, funny.
While the play offered no facile ending, the finely nuanced writing and Laura Esterman's extraordinary Bessie moved audiences deeply. Thus that Playwright Horizon production transcended its brief run and received other well received mountings. It also became a star-studded film (for which McPherson was still well enough to write the script.
Now the Roundabout company has brought Marvin's Room back for another premiere, this time its first production on Broadway. Since it's no longer as overcast by the shadow of AIDs, it more than ever proves that its relevance is not limited to the time it was written. More people than ever desperately need loving care to see them through harsh fates. There's an ever growing population of opioid addicts, old people with Alzheimer's, veterans physically and emotionally crippled in foreign wars. And, of course, even those well enough to care for those who are not will eventually meet the Grim Reaper. It's still quite poignant and still funny — though not all the funny stuff still works (like the business about Ruth's soap operas).
As helmed Anne Kauffman, the talented director for whom this is also a Broadway debut, and a performed by an able ensemble, Marvin's Room remains a moving, well constructed portrait of a woman who has spent her adult life as the loving caretaker of a terminally ill father.
The powerful secondary plot reunites the sisters and also introduces Lee's troubled sons to the aunt they never met. That reunion, prompted by long dormant family feelings, brings Lee and her boys to Bessie's Florida house with the hope that one of them has the right blood for to make Bessie's life saving bone marrow transplant possible.
Bessie is in good hands with Lili Taylor to play her. TV and film comedienne Janeane Garofalo, another Broadway first timer, is also well cast as the sister whose selfish avoidance of family obligations has hardly resulted in a trouble free, happy life.
Jack DiFalco and Luca Padovan are fine as brothers Hank and Charlie, whose first meeting with their aunt will entail a somewhat scary medical procedure. The gradually building relationship between Hank and Bessie is especially touching since he's on leave from the institution where he landed after setting his house as well as the whole neighborhood on fire. Celia Weston, an unfailingly impressive actress is terrific as Bessie's more needy than helpful companion, Aunt Ruth.
The play starts off with a scene that displays the playwright's gift for mining grim subjects like terminal cancer for humor. Set in a hospital examining room it establishes that all is not well with Bessie. The absurdly funny turnaround of the patient-doctor relationship has Bessie calmly but firmly guiding the wildly incompetent and nervous Dr. Wally (a hilarious Triney Sandoval) into drawing her blood. This comic setup is repeated when a second visit to the hospital and she has to nudge him into telling her just what's wrong.
Nedra McClyde rounds out the cast with a double role of Hank's psychiatrist Dr. Charlotte and the director of a retirement home. Bessie and Lee's visit to that home to see if it might be a place for Marvin and Aunt Ruth if Bessie could no longer care for them is a grim reminder of the draconian health care bill currently on the legislative agenda.
The rather too slow pacing is picked up by the heart-tugging emotional interactions. Our affection and admiration for Bessie is likely to be strongest when we watch her enjoy getting to know her nephews. She shows more understanding for Hank's difficulties than the psychiatrist at the institution. No wonder even the self absorbed Lee is finally able to do something for the sister who has found genuine joy in loving others. What she does isn't much, but I dare you not to choke up watching Lee use her cosmotologist's skills to style her sister's chemotherapy wig.
A delicate play like this doesn't need a lot of sophisticated production values and probably works best in a smaller, more intimate theater. However, the Roundabout's American Airlines Theater's wide stage and big seating capacity does call for a fairly sophisticated set to move the story around its various locations.
As Scott McPherson's script accommodated both sadness and humor, so scenic designer Laura Jellinek provides us not only with those fuzzy glimpses of Marvin's room but lets the action slide and glide from Florida to Ohio and even to Disneyland. Still, even with the help of lighting designer Japhy Weideman to focus in on just one setting at a time, the big stage makes a real sense of intimacy impossible. In addition, the actors don't always project enough, for audience members to hear everything said during scenes at the opposite end of where they're sitting.
Even if all the comic business still landed throughout instead of rather sporadically, it's not as a comedy that Marvin's Room survives but as a very human look at life, love and death.
Despite its two teen aged characters, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone as young as the play's Charley. In fact, anyone not ready to shed a few tears should go for a ticket to a high stepping musical or a comic riff like The Play That Went Wrong.

E37: The Sandlot
The Sandlot teaches us how to allow kids the space and time they need to develop essential life skills through play.
2/22/2019 10:55:10 pm
The sandlot is a very nostalgic word for me. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we were all once energetic kids. We can all be energetic, maybe not physically, but mentally. Sandlots are examples of how much energy we kids have. I remember when my friends and I made an entire park from scratch. There was this sandlot-like place in our neighborhood and we just made it into a fun place. I miss the times where we were actually having fun.

WWF Bendies
Originally released in 1986, The WWF Bendies line was a miniature duplicate of the original 8″ series of action figures. They featured the same using the same paint scheme and pose as their taller version.
The difference was that they were much smaller, and had metal wire inside allowing the toys to bend. There were 18 figures with unique molds plus one major and several minor variations. The only major variant is the Hulk Hogan which has blue knee pads instead of red and is taller than the rest of the line.

Kuhn shows folding disc cultivator
Kuhn Farm Machinery has added a folding version of its Optimer disc cultivator to its range of stubble tillage machines.
With a 5m working width and two rows of independently mounted discs, the new Optimer+ 503R claims to be ideal for shallow stubble cultivation at high forward speeds.
See also: Kuhn to demo strip tillage kit at Tillage Live
The Optimer+ 503R folds down from its working width of 5m to a transport width of just 3m.
It is equipped as standard with 40 curved 510mm discs capable of working at depths from 3-10cm, with optional smaller discs available for shallower (3-5cm), less intensive stubble clearing.
The discs are angled on two axes – in relation to the direction of travel and vertically – for improved soil penetration and trash incorporation, with each disc mounted on a redesigned arm that is said to provide increased clearance between the disc and carrying frame.
Each disc arm is protected by four polyurethane blocks that allow the individual discs to deflect if they hit obstacles.
The Optimer+ 503R needs 150-250hp and is available with four press roller options. The standard T-Ring roller is designed for crumbly clay or cloddy soils.
The optional T-Liner roller is designed for use on stony soils, while the PackLiner roller provides maximum consolidation, especially in damp conditions. The tube or crumbler roller gives a lighter-weight option for less aggressive consolidation.
Optional left- and right-side deflectors are also available, as is a comb harrow that sits between the discs and press roller to improve straw levelling.

On January 26th, 2018, President Trump decides the future of the solar industry. The US International Trade Commission recommended an astounding 35% tariff on some solar panels, and January 26th is the President's deadline to decide.
Background of the Proposed Solar Tariff
In April of 2017, Chinese-owned company Suniva filed for bankruptcy. Suniva had been founded at Georgia Tech, but subsequently purchased by Chinese solar manufacturer Shunfeng International in 2015.
After filing for bankruptcy, Suniva filed complaints with the International Trade Commission, complaining that they would not be in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy if there were tariffs on other manufacturers.
Why did Suniva file that complaint? According to Wired, SQN Capital offered Suniva a $4 million loan to do so. Then, SQN Capital sent a letter to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce offering to withdraw the complaint with the International Trade Commission in exchange for a $55 million purchase.
After Suniva filed their complaint, German-owned SolarWorld joined in support of the complaint. This after announcing that SolarWorld is insolvent and in bankruptcy.
So are Suniva and SolarWorld just trying to support US Manufacturing by pushing for tariffs on their competitors? Not very likely. "Reviving manufacturing in the U.S. may be part of their plan, but this is probably just an effort to salvage money," said Jenny Chase, a Zurich-based analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
SolarWorld is for sale and the date of sale has been set for after the tariff decision. Bloomberg says that this may be in an effort to make the insolvent company more valuable, thereby increasing value as it is on the auction block.
What Happens Next?
There are several options on the plate of President Trump in the next couple weeks. He can:
- Reject the proposed tariffs in support of the free market economy
- Accept the tariffs lobbied by two bankrupt foreign-owned companies
- Ignore the issue completely and no tariffs will be added
How Will This Affect the Solar Industry?
No one can predict with 100% certainty what will happen, but vastly increased costs generally results in lower sales. As of 2017, there are almost 400,000 people employed in the US Solar Industry and 1 of 50 new jobs were created in the Solar Industry. Over 85% of these American jobs are in areas such as installation, sales, and even your goofy-looking bloggers.
Just look at this infographic from Forbes. The US solar industry accounts for almost HALF of American jobs in power generation.
Very few US jobs are in solar manufacturing. In fact, New Energy Finance analyst Hugh Bromley told Bloomberg "There's an extremely low likelihood that the U.S. will ever manufacture enough equipment to meet its own domestic needs."
Without the domestic infrastructure to meet the ever-increasing demands of the proposed tariffs will only serve to raise prices for consumers. These taxes are just passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. If customers buy less, then some of the 400,000 US solar employees may be laid off and reducing our environmental impact as a country will become more difficult. Who would the tariff help? A bankrupt foreign-owned company trying to raise the value of their assets before a court-ordered liquidation, according to some experts.
"[W]e continue to believe that this is the wrong decision, based on Suniva and SolarWorld's mismanagement, [...] and we will continue to lead the effort to protect the solar industry from damaging trade relief. I am determined to reach a conclusion that will protect the solar industry, our workers and the American public from what amounts to a shakedown by these two companies. An improper remedy will devastate the burgeoning American solar economy and ultimately harm America's manufacturers." - Abigail Ross Hopper, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association.
What Benefits America?
The freedom to choose benefits Americans the most. Currently, you have the freedom to choose what solar panels you want and who you trust to install them. The solar industry is growing at an incredible rate in part because customers have had the freedom to choose how they want to power their homes. That freedom may erode when customers are hit with a huge tax in the form of this tariff.
The two companies that are pushing for these tariffs employ just a few hundred people, while there are about 40,000 people employed in US solar manufacturing and nearly 400,000 people employed in the solar industry - a number that shows a tripling of new jobs in under a decade.
Are solar rates going to skyrocket if President Trump orders this tariffs? Not exactly, according to ArsTechnica. Every time a similar tariff has been proposed, the World Trade Organization has defeated it, because countries threaten retaliation by enacting punitive tariffs on completely unrelated products.
So like the hundreds of thousands of other solar employees and the countless millions of people that care about creating clean, renewable electricity, Sunpro Solar hopes that President Trump does the right thing and allows companies to freely compete as they have for years. And we hope you make the decision to Go Solar with Sunpro while we offer our best prices and service ever.

An SF Gateway eBook: bringing the classics to the future.
Horne, the spaceship's pilot, had been warned. "Don't forget the meteor swarm." And Horne's directional calculations for the Vega Queen's course took that advice into account; the spaceship would go fifteen thousand miles out of its way to avoid those deadly celestial rocks.
But when Horne went off duty, he felt himself numbed by a curious druglike leadenness. And the next thing he knew, he was in a lifeboat, speeding away from the floating wreckage of the Vega Queen.
Eighteen survivors out of one hundred and fifty-three passengers. And each one in the tiny space shell believed Horne responsible...deliberate negligence, calculated destruction...
Someone had drugged Horne, he knew; someone had tampered with the ship to alter its course. But who? And for what cosmic purpose?

21 Feb Le Pratola Recipes from our chef Monica Lapis
We love eating al fresco at Le Pratola and we have some wonderful chefs who can prepare delicious dishes for our guests- often using fresh produce direct from our garden.
Tomatoes are so typically Italian and we love this very simple recipe for tomatoes prepared by Monica. They are wholesome, healthy and can be eaten either as a starter or as a side dish. Try them at home.
You will need:
Fresh, ripe tomatoes
Fresh chopped herbs: thyme, marjoram, parsley, basil, garlic
Breadcrumbs (fresh or bought ok too)
Extra virgin olive oil (Le Pratola best of course but use other good quality if not available), salt and pepper
Cut the tomatoes in half, place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the chopped aromatic herbs, add the breadcrumbs (just enough to cover all the tomatoes), salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil, stir everything and then cover each of the tomatoes with the herb mix. Bake in preheated oven at 180 ° and cook until golden.

HOUSTON -- Tim Redding was picked Thursday to become
Houston's No. 5 starter, joining a stellar rotation that includes
Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Wade Miller.
"I've made this decision and this is where we're going to
start," Astros manager Jimy Williams said. "I'm not going to go
into spring training like we did last year with four guys trying to
get the fourth and fifth spots in our rotation."
Astros pitchers and catchers report to spring training at
Kissimmee, Fla., on Feb. 21.
Redding competed with Jeriome Robertson for the final spot in
spring training last year. When the Astros cut Shane Reynolds, both
got berths.
"I'm happy to get a chance to verify myself for the good year I
had last year," Redding said. "I understand the tough decision
they made to make me the fifth starter."
Redding went 10-14 with a 3.68 ERA last season, and Robertson
was 15-9 with a 5.10 ERA. The Astros averaged 5.5 runs in
Robertson's 32 starts and 3.8 runs in Redding's 33 starts.
Williams will wait until spring training to announce who will
start the April 5 opener against San Francisco.
"I want to be in the same area code and zip code with those
pitchers when we let it be known who's going to be the opening-day
starter," Williams said. "We've got four guys who have been
opening day starters. You could put them in a hat and reach in and
take out one guy and they'd all be good opening day pitchers."
Robertson and Brian Duckworth, obtained from the Philadelphia
Phillies in the offseason, will compete for bullpen jobs.

From: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/07/03/khmer.trial.ap/index.html
Tuesday, July 4, 2006 Posted: 0343 GMT (1143 HKT)
Young Khmer Rouge soldiers in 1975.
The Cambodian and foreign judicial officials began a four-day workshop to discuss the "critical" points of convening the trials that are expected to start in 2007, said Reach Sambath, a spokesman for the tribunal's administration office.
The swearing-in of 17 Cambodian and 10 United Nations-appointed foreign jurists on Monday marked a major step forward in the process of seeking justice for the victims of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, whose extremist policies in the late 1970s are estimated to have taken 1.7 million lives.
"They will be discussing prosecutorial and judicial planning and their code of ethics. All these points are critical for their work," Reach Sambath said.
The foreign jurists will be studying Cambodian traditions and the laws under which the Khmer Rouge tribunal was established, while their Cambodian counterparts will learn about international laws and other genocide tribunals.
Nicolas Michel, U.N. Under Secretary-General for legal affairs, called the swearing-in "a historic landmark" but also said it was "just the beginning" step on the road to justice.
"There will be moments of great satisfaction, but also moments of doubt," he said Monday, urging the judges and prosecutors to act with professionalism and impartiality. "Your best qualities will be required: moral strength and the determination to reach our goal."
The tribunal offices were inaugurated early this year after Cambodia and the U.N. agreed in 2003 to jointly establish the tribunal.
Drawn-out negotiations that started in 1999 and funding problems have led some critics to suggest that Prime Minister Hun Sen's government has intentionally stalled the court process to avoid embarrassing Khmer Rouge members who have become government backers.
The Khmer Rouge movement collapsed in 1999, but none of its top leaders have been held accountable for the atrocities. Pol Pot died in 1998, but several of his top deputies, aging and infirm, still live freely in Cambodia.
Nuon Chea, the number two leader of the Khmer Rouge leadership, said Monday he would go before the tribunal.
"I will be glad to go so that people in my country and other countries will know the truth of what happened," he told The Associated Press in the northwestern town of Pailin, where he lives with other former top Khmer Rouge leaders.

It was George Bernard Shaw who reminded us that reasonable men attempt to fit into the society, while unreasonable men attempt to fit the society to them, making unreasonable men the most important, if not the only, agents of change.
As a young boy, I can recall a chant/mantra "sung" by my mother almost literally on a daily basis: "If the whole world took a walk off the town dock and drowned, would you take the same walk?" She was reinforcing her view of the "unreasonable" person, in a world filled with lemmings.
It is not too difficult to see that, in this case, the "acorn did not fall far from the tree."
There is an irony in the current battle of some "heat" and very little "light" coming out of Ottawa.
On the one hand, the government is attempting to pass an anti-bullying bill to prevent anyone from displaying images of another on the internet, without permission. On the other, the government is, simultaneously, bullying the Canadian people and the pursuit of the truth, with a histrionic display of stonewalling on who knew what, when surrounding the Senate debacle.
Various versions of documents, allegedly "protecting" some players, affidavits that seem to put in doubt some statements made on the public record of some highly placed elected and appointed persons, a Question Period now having become almost "appointment television" for many Canadians, overlaid with RCMP affidavits in pursuit of additional evidence, while all the time proclaiming there is no investigation of the PMO, and attempting to build a firewall around the prime minister....these are the signs of a well-oiled political machine that is attempting to ride out the current political storm, a storm whose core element is the pursuit of literal, absolute and total truth in a political climate analogous to a petri dish that is friendly only to deceptions, distortions and dissembling...
Problem is that there is such a monstrous cloud hanging over too many governments, and their actors, the politicians, that the public's disdain of the public arena is making effective governance nearly impossible.
Unreasonable men, in the case of the current spate of political scandals, would call for a public inquiry, a clearing of the air, a public decision to "take responsibility" for the pursuit of truth under the very laws which are intended to define the purpose and the parameters of the government which seems to be making the rules as it goes.
Unreasonable men, too, would put all public statements from all public leaders under a microscope, but of course we do not have either the time or the patience for such an ambitious undertaking. And so, as unreasonable men/women, we have to build our own filtering system for judging the truth, and for assembling some modicum of stability and balance in a world given to attempting to put us off balance. And a public inquiry, on our behalf, would attempt to accomplish what we, individually cannot accomplish.
We are, the unreasonable electorate, the ballast that keeps the ship of state afloat, when the winds of personal aggrandizement and personal agendas, and personal power-addictions attempt to blow the ship of state off course, and overturn it into the seas. We are all that is left between a government seeking absolute power, not only to pass laws but to define what is the national "truth" and a nation that resists such ambition. We are all that is left to protect the national interest from all those who would be so contemptuous of anything resembling a "national interest" as to throw such "interest" overboard.
Unreasonable men and women have always stood defiantly in front of the tanks in Tienanmen Square, and outside embassies and consulates and houses of government whenever and wherever such defiance was required. And it will be, once again, unreasonable men and women who demand that the government take responsibility for those issues currently abandoned, at least in Canada, such as the Canadian environment (we are at the bottom of the heap in fulfilling our responsibilities in this file, 54 out of 58 countries), of aboriginal rejection and denial, of support for those who are unable to support themselves...and all the while Ottawa fritters in a pursuit of truth from sources who might have difficulty recognizing it if and when they met it on Sparks Street Mall.

Volatility in global stocks and falling house prices are taking a toll on Australian households.
They've become more pessimistic about the outlook for their finances, dragging overall confidence levels lower in April.
The latest Westpac-MI consumer sentiment index fell by 0.2% to 102.4, leaving it above the 100 level where the number of optimists and pessimists are equal in number.
Optimists have now outnumbered pessimists for the past five months.
While a noticeable improvement from this time a year ago, Bill Evans, Chief Economist at Westpac, says the encouraging lift in confidence seen in the second half of last year now appears to be stalling.
"The 10% rally we saw in the index through the second half of 2017 has stalled. Indeed, since the beginning of the year the Index has fallen by around 2.5%," Evans says.
"Certainly, at 102.4 the index is still well below the strong 105–115 levels typically associated with a robust consumer."
Evans pins the recent moderation on growing unease about the outlook for finances and the labour market.
"The subindex tracking views on finances over the next 12 months posted a sharp fall of 5.8% in April. This marks the lowest read since September last year," he says.
"With stock market volatility persisting over the last month and house prices declining since the start of the year respondents have become more nervous around the outlook."
And despite over 420,000 jobs having been created over the past 12 months, sentiment towards the labour market also took a hit in the latest survey.
"The [surveys] unemployment expectations index, which can be viewed as a measure of consumers' sense of job security, rose 3.1% in April to 125.7," says Evans.
"The shift is notable with April the worst read this year."
A higher reading indicates that more Australians expect unemployment will increase in the year ahead, an outcome that may have been influenced by Australia's official unemployment rate lifting to 5.6% in February.
This table from Westpac shows the movements in each of the surveys five categories, both from a month earlier and over the past year.
Ongoing pessimism towards the housing market in Sydney and Melbourne may have been another factor that weighed on confidence with the 'time to buy a dwelling' index falling 0.5% to 104.0.
"The index remains well below its long run average of 120 and is considerably weaker across consumers in Sydney (92) and Melbourne (93)," Evans said.
Home prices in both of these capitals have been falling for several months.
However, while pessimism towards the outlook for finances increased, sentiment towards the economy improved, providing an offset for overall confidence levels.
"Both economic outlook components posted gains," said Evans.
"The economic outlook over the next five years subindex rose 2.9%, unwinding some of last month's 4.1% pull back which likely related to increased tensions around global trade following the announcement of tariff increases on steel and aluminium in the US."
With confidence levels indicating that Australians are unlikely to rush off to the shops and spend aggressively anytime soon, Evans retains the view that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will be in no rush to lift interest rates.
"Westpac continues to expect the cash rate will remain on hold through 2018 and 2019", Evans said.

Aging-in-Place Movement Grows With Formation of Dupont Circle Village
Published: March 13th, 2009
By Marilyn Newton*
Accompanying images can be viewed in the March 2009 issue pdf
The Dupont Circle Village launched its membership drive on February 24th at the historic Sumner School, attended by more than 80 neighborhood residents. Dues will be $450 a year for an individual and $600 for a household, with a goal of getting 150 members by later this year, when the Village hopes to be able to hire an executive director and expand the services it offers.
Board President Gerald Schwinn announced that the Dupont Circle Village is slated to receive a $15,000 grant from the DC Office of Aging, part of the city government's one-time support of the aging-in-place movement.
The focus of the Village is on core components which enable older people to enjoy their daily lives in the neighborhood and to stay in their houses, condos or apartments for the foreseeable future. Volunteers are being recruited to provide transportation to doctor appointments and shopping. A list of reliable vendors is also available. Beyond this, the Village is creating a sense of belonging to the neighborhood as members share activities that sustain friendships. A group is meeting three days a week at the Circle to walk together. Volunteers competent on the computer are helping newer computer users gain skills. Others are being called on to perform household tasks.
Memberships are now available to all Dupont Circle residents regardless of age or income level. Dues are being prorated for the remaining months of 2009. In addition to dues for members and households, a "Membership Plus" category is available for low-to-moderate-income families. For the past six months, volunteers have provided services to anyone who asked. As of May 1, the Village services will be available only to its members.
Dupont Circle Village is incorporated in the District of Columbia as a non-profit organization and recently was granted 501(c)(3) tax exemption status by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition to the $15,000 from the DC Office on Aging, the Village earlier received a $3,000 grant from the Dupont Circle Citizens Association.
*The writer, a 25-year Dupont Circle resident and a board member of the newly formed Dupont Circle Village, is a former ANC-2B commissioner and former Dupont Circle Citizens Association (DCCA) board member, and also serves as chair of the DCCA's Call Box Committee. Other Village board members include Gerald Schwinn, Mary Braden, Iris Molotsky, Peggy Simpson, and Abigail Wiebenson.

August 5 2018
We finally got a break in the rain, just in time for my team starting Maryland Trek 5 today. I made a pledge to give you a weather report daily and I will continue. In fact there is an fascinating satellite loop below I want you to see as both an impressive swirl and contrails have popped up overnight. But I hope you follow our hike and bike across the state this week. It is the most important thing I do all year as we tell the stories of kids and and post cancer treatment. Each day we will hike and bike a minimum of 41 miles, telling their story and raising money to provide free holistic therapy via Just in Power Kids. We can use your support. That includes likes, hearts, and shares on Facebook to make sure the story stays in the news feed.
Track us live and see daily stories on marylandtrek.com Thank you…
This morning we start on the summit off Wisp at 3,000 Ft to being our 27 mile hike, then hop in bikes to ride through Frostburg and end in Cumberland. It will be warm and humid. But hotter in central Maryland where it will reach the upper 80s and feel like the lower 90s with the humidity. We should remain mostly dry, with only an isolated shower between 3 and 6 PM. The next few days will be sticky but limited showers… until Tuesday and Wednesday. Here is a quick look.
Stats For August 5 in Baltimore
Average High: 86ºF
Record High: 104ºF in 1930
Average Low: 66ºF
Record Low: 52ºF in 1951
Sunrise: 6:10 AM
Sunset 8:14 PM
*Daylight = 2:02 shorter than yesterday
*Bay Water Temperature = 80ºF at Thomas Pt. Light House
Satellite Loop (Morning)
This water vapor loop show two interesting features.
- The swirl over southern WV is helping to pump in moisture. But it is an upper level feature. At the surface High Pressure is being measure (see below).
- Look closely at the line showing up in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Those are contrails from planes. There is definitely and increase in upper level moisture allow that… But overall our weather should be quiet.
Morning Surface Map
The surface weather under that feature is High Pressure… So two opposing forces and the main winner will be more heat and humidity pumping up.

Matthew 8:18-27
We live in a day when the cost of following Jesus seems confusing to some. On the one hand we are told that all we have to do is trust Jesus. On the other hand, come claims of radical obedience. How do we put these two, seemingly conflicting demands together. Let's find out.

Eurovision semi-final two favourites: Serbia's song is like the last days in the bunker with a disco soundtrack
Eighteen countries compete in Eurovision semi-final number two, but only ten can go through (five big spenders and the host, Portugal, are automatically in the final). In this video, I suggest two entries to watch closely and one existential nightmare to avoid. You know what this contest is like. It swings from sublime camp to Balkan melancholy faster than you can say "show me your papers."
Of course, not all the upbeat stuff is a winner. I'm also giving a thumbs down to Sweden's "Dance You Off", which just some daft beefcake doing disco. I don't know who he played pattycake with to get this gig, but it wasn't worth it.

New research has revealed that apps installed on smartphones can be used to significantly reduce anxiety.
Joseph Firth, from The University of Manchester, led the first ever meta-analysis of all published evidence on the effect of smartphone-based therapies on anxiety in 1,837 people.
The study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, is a collaboration between The University of Manchester, Harvard University, University of Melbourne and the Black Dog Institute in Australia.
It showed that overall, smartphone interventions reduced anxiety significantly more than control conditions – suggesting new digital therapies could be useful for managing the condition.
Smartphone apps, argue the team, may be best used for augmenting face-to-face therapy and other psychological treatment – rather than replacing standard care.
Because psychologists are seeing increasing numbers of young people suffering from anxiety disorders, mental health services struggle to meet their needs.
But up to now, the effectiveness of using apps to reduce and manage anxiety as a possible solution to the problem - has been heavily disputed.
Joseph Firth said: "Smartphones could be a novel way to help treat anxiety: they are now owned by the majority of people, and are particularly popular with younger people.
"And that presents a new opportunity for psychological care provision in a non-stigmatizing, self-managing format.
"Looking at individual studies we find that smartphone apps which aim to promote overall mental health and well-being, rather than focusing specifically on anxiety alone, may be most consistently effective.
"There is currently no evidence to suggest that using apps alone can outperform standard psychological therapies, or replace the use of anti-anxiety medications. This is an area for future research to explore."
Dr. John Torous from Harvard University said "As digital technologies continue to advance, and our scientific understanding of mental health deepens, smartphones may well present a novel method for wide-scale delivery of personalized, effective and affordable treatment for anxiety and other mental disorders."

O'Donovan brothers no match for British heavyweights at Henley
Skibbereen duo suffered steering issues in final of the Double Sculls

Paul and Gary O'Donovan lost the final of the Double Sculls to in-form British heavyweights Angus Groom and Jack Beaumont at Henley Royal Regatta.
Rowing off the Buckinghamshire station, where steering can be especially difficult for coxless boats, the Skibbereen men had an explosive start. But once the two crews settled into the long middle of the 2,112-metre course, Beaumont and Groom looked stronger. The O'Donovans moved at the half-mile marker and did make some progress – but their steering suffered, and twice the umpire had to shout at them to alter their course.
From there, the Britons were in control. They may be the best heavyweight double in the world: they go into the third and final World Cup in Lucerne next weekend having won silver and gold in the previous two.
On Saturday, rowing on the Buckinghamshire station, they had looked ill at ease in their semi-final win over Norway's lightweight crew of Ari Strandli and Kris Brun, while the O'Donovans were majestic in their win over Romanian heavyweights Ioan Prundeanu and Marian-Florian Enache.
In a brilliant final of the Diamond Sculls on Sunday, Olympic champion Mahe Drysdale won his sixth Diamonds title with a remarkable finish. Having trailed for almost 2,000 metres, the 39-year-old New Zealander overtook Norway's Kjetil Borch (28) in the closing 200 metres.
Clonmel man Daire Lynch was the three man in the Yale crew which was beaten in the semi-final of the Temple Cup for college eights on Saturday.

?Does this mean we're a step closer to seeing the resurgence of Tales from the Crypt? TVLine is reporting that The CW is at work rebooting the anthology horror series Tales from the Darkside.

Maria Droste Programs
As stated in our mission, Maria Droste is committed to serving individuals who would otherwise not be able to obtain counseling services. One of the ways we do this is through the participation of master's and doctoral level interns from area counseling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and school psychology programs. These interns provide counseling through several Maria Droste programs (click the link for full descriptions).

The internship very closely resembles a real-life therapy job and provides invaluable preparation for post-graduation entry into the mental health field. Employers report high satisfaction with former Maria Droste interns due to their knowledge and experience.
What are the internship tracks?
In their applications, internship candidates are asked to rank tracks that align with Maria Droste programs (Options, Children First, Integrated Care). Click programs and tracks for more information and please read it over carefully before ranking tracks on your application.

text: A Post-Spotify Boom for Music IPOs? 6:28 AM PDT 5/11/2018 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Universal Music Group and China's Tencent Music are testing the waters for public offerings as analysts forecast a "bullish" outlook for the sector. Is now the time for the next wave of music IPOs? Spotify's April 3 debut on the market may have whetted the appetite of investors for music company stocks in a sector that mostly features privately held firms or businesses hidden inside bigger conglomerates, like Sony or Apple. China's largest music streamer, Tencent Music, which is majority-owned by Chinese social media giant Tencent and has a 7.5 percent stake in Spotify (which in turn owns 9 percent of Tencent Music), is reportedly planning an IPO by the end of the year, targeting a U.S. stock exchange as its home and eyeing a valuation of $25 billion. The company has 700 million-plus monthly users, including an estimated 15 million paying subscribers. And French conglomerate Vivendi is exploring an IPO of Universal Music Group, led by CEO Lucian Grainge. The company says that a May 17 board meeting will include a discussion of "different hypotheses" for how "capital might evolve." Universal Music Group, with 2017 reported earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of $912 million, "could be a decently sized" small- or midcap stock, meaning one with a market value of up to $10 billion, says RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Cahall. On Wall Street, it has been a mixed bag for music-centric stocks, with streaming giant Pandora Media and radio network Entercom Communications down 35 percent and 5 percent, respectively, in the past 12 months, while satellite broadcaster Sirius XM Holdings and events promoter Live Nation have climbed 40 percent and 43 percent, respectively. Spotify is up 5 percent since it went public April 3. "We believe recent music headlines would make now a good opportunity to IPO the music business," Liberum Capital analyst Ian Whittaker said in a report. He estimated that an IPO of a 25 percent stake in UMG could raise at least $6.2 billion. "It remains early days in the global adoption of streaming," a group of Morgan Stanley analysts argued in an April 30 report. "The near-term investment outlook is bullish."

i am pleased with this feeder. it performs as advertised. it definitely deters squirrels. i have yet to see a squirrel on it. i like the see thru aspect and the large volume reservoir for seed. i had a previous feeder just like this one that a Raccoon was able to access and break. i have moved the new one away from the tree and it seems to help.

I'm very satisfied this product and very stunning hanging up the tree infront of the lake.
If you want squirrel proof this is the feeder for you. It's fun to watch them slide off onto the ground! This is the best bird feeder I have ever owned. It's worth every penny!!!
This is a good Product. I am very happy with it and so are the birds. I will buy more items from this company.
This is a nice product to have for the birds.
We have finally "baffled" our squirrels! Great feeder. Holds lots of seed. But make sure you order the skirt if you pole mount. Our squirrels figured out how to climb the pole w/ in minutes. Vaseline took care of that ( and it was pretty funny to watch them slide), but who has time to grease a pole every day?
Built with quality materials. Lid design for filling feeder could be better.
I like this feeder. If placed far enough from a limb, it DOES work as a squirrel deterrent!! (That is my number one goal in finding feeders these days.) It holds a good amount of food and the "roof" still allows birds of a certain size to get to their food. It is really fun to watch the squirrels try to gain traction and slip off.
Skyfeeder works well for bringing birds of cardinal size and smaller to the feeder. Squirrel proof top keeps squirrels from stealing the food. Overall good product.

Finally got around to posting this clip from Steve Soderbergh's The Knick on Cinemax. (I do most of this video ripping/editing/posting myself, and I am most definitely not a pro.) Click on the pic to view the clip.
Click HERE for more info on the shooting of the scene.
For those familiar with the show, don't worry. The scene is absolutely G-rated. No intestines, vomit or graphic sex. (But brace yourself if you plan to watch the series… )
