As a central bank policymaker, I closely monitor various types of excesses and imbalances that may be developing in the economy. One of the areas I monitor is the level and growth of indebtedness in the household, government and corporate sectors. In previous essays, I have commented on the positive impacts of the deleveraging of the household sector since the Great Recession, and I have raised a cautionary flag regarding the growth of U.S. government debt, including a substantial increase in the present value of unfunded entitlements.
The purpose of this essay is to focus on trends in corporate debt growth and credit quality in the U.S. and discuss potential implications for economic conditions and financial stability.

Since (certain) Chromebooks run Android applications by means of the Google Play store, the gaming choices for these PCs aren't as dry as they used to be, and incorporate a few diamonds. There's just a single catch: not all Android amusements run well (or by any means) on Chrome OS, as they were composed for telephones and tablets and not workstations Techmughal.
So while Fallout Shelter keeps running without a stammer and Marvel's Spider-Man Unlimited is one of the better limitless sprinters we've seen, others (counting Madden NFL Football, NBA 2K17 and Middle Earth Shadow of War) come up short. This is the reason we downloaded a huge amount of Android recreations to test them out on the Google Pixelbook so you know which diversions to trust on a Chromebook.
The hustling title Asphalt Airborne 8 functions admirably on a Chromebook, offering smooth execution in tablet and workstation mode. It likewise offers bolster for the console as a controller, so you don't need to extend your arms up to the screen when you're not in tablet mode.

On the 7th day of Kales-Mas my true love gave to meeeee... 7 Turtle Doves! Ok more like 'Turtle' Energy Balls.
Turtle Energy Balls
I don't know about you but I find chocolate turtles delicious (but then followed by a sugar coma). So in lieu of sugar, cream, and all that in between, I made some healthy energy balls that taste like turtles.
- 15 dates
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup pecans
- 1/8 cup chia seeds
- 1/8 cup hemp seeds
- 1/8 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
Place dates in a food processor and mix until chopped. Add in remainder of ingredients and mix until fully combined. Finally, roll into balls and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. For best results, store in the refrigerator or freezer before consumption.
Last but not least, ENJOY!

ORLANDO - If the shots aren't falling for Florida senior center Patric Young, he said he never holds a self-pity party.
Instead, he focuses on whatever else he can do to help the Gators win.
Young rallied from a scoreless first half in which he missed all five of his field-goal attempts, to finish with seven points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots in UF's 61-45 victory over Pittsburgh Saturday in an NCAA South Region game at the Amway Center.
Teammate Scottie Wilbekin's monster second half overshadowed Young's contributions after intermission: all of his points, five rebounds and three blocks. Six of his rebounds were on the offensive glass. and his four blocks were a season high and matched the second-most in one game in his career.
Young had never blocked more than three shots in an NCAA Tournament game.
"I stayed positive for my teammates and coaches when nothing was going in," the Providence graduate said. "I knew I could affect the game in so many other ways. My teammates need me to be an example, to lead those guys. If my shots aren't dropping, I'm not going to drop my shoulders or hang my head. I'm going to put my energy somewhere else, to rebound better, to defend better … whatever I can do to help us win."
Young also continued his career trend of having his best games on the offensive glass against quality opponents. Young matched his career high in offensive rebounds against the Panthers, and also had six against Memphis and Vanderbilt this season, Marquette and Kansas State last season, and against Arizona as a sophomore.
Young could have gotten frustrated seconds into the game. On Florida's first possession, he rebounded the miss of Michael Frazier's 3-point attempt and missed the putback attempt. Young rebounded his own miss, then missed another layup. Once more, he got the rebound - and missed again.
"Patric in particular just couldn't finish around the basket," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "But we overcame that."
Young finally got on the board in the second half with an early hook shot from 8 feet. Later in the half, he was at the end of a sequence of events that began with Wilbekin slapping the ball away from a Pitt player near midcourt, then saving the ball inbounds with a heave to Casey Prather.
Young came over from the weak side, and Prather spotted him, tossing up an alley-oop pass that Young slammed home with vigor to light a fire under the crowd and give Florida its first double-digit lead of the game at 34-24.
"That's the key for us, loose balls, rebounding, getting energy points," Young said.
Young also achieved a degree of satisfaction by outplaying Pitt's Talib Zanna, who predicted a physical game, promising that the Panthers would hold their own.
"The coaches challenged us, and it made me watch a lot of film on Zanna," Young said. "He's a great player, and a great rebounder, but I knew I could step up the challenge. They [Pitt] really pride themselves on their frontcourt, but I think we did a better job up front."

Hello everybody. I have recently made the jump from the Home Designer Pro series to Premier X12. I have a client that wants the windows to be labeled with letters instead of numbers. I have not seen a way to change that but am I missing something?
By GCCISarah
Has anyone found how to re-name their Camera Callout Labels in X12? For example, my cameras are set up with a Callout Label of "C1, C2, C3..." etc etc. This is by way of some default setting that I cannot seem to find. Each new camera automatically labels and numbers itself in succession as noted above. However, I have decided I'd like name all of my future Full Cameras as "P1, P2, P3... " in a new plan.
Except for opening each individual camera to change the Callout Label, I cannot find a setting to change this default to start with a "P" and automatically number itself from there! It seems to be missing from the Full Camera Defaults page.. You CAN set a default for "Text Below Line" but not for the Callout Label itself for cameras?
By dskogg
I want to show a window schedule for each elevation only showing the windows on that elevation, what is the best way to do this?
This way i can show the sq footage of windows on that wall exposure and have it totaled in the schedule for just that wall.
By robdyck
There must be a way to alter or control the vertical spacing of schedules. I've included the exterior elevation view of windows in my schedule, and there's a lot of wasted space between each row.
Does anyone know if that can be adjusted?

200 Years, Anniversary Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)haydnmania: the 2009 anniversary
Archive for conductor
Il mondo della luna – premiere
picture: ©Theater an der Wien
Have you ever flown to the moon thanks to nothing more than the power of your own imagination? In the summer of 1777, Joseph Haydn sent the guests at the prince's wedding in Esterházy Palace into the fantastic universe with the aid of their imagination, some 190 years before the first moon landing. For "Il mondo della luna" he turned to a source that had already been successfully used for a number of operas and was written originally by the Italian comic poet Carlo Goldoni. Haydn created a work focusing on human longings, the fabled moon and a world turned on its head.
Ecclitico is in pursuit of Clarice while Ernesto loves her sister Flaminia. But Buonafede, the father of the two young ladies and an amateur astronomer, is strictly opposed to these matches. He is also suspicious of the growing affection his servant Cecco is showing towards the maid Lisetta, especially since he has his own designs on her. But the young lovers refuse to give in to pressure. They trick the moonstruck Buonafede into believing he has been transported to the moon. A journey of discovery into outer space and the joys of love merge in the family garden into an increasingly manic muddle. The result: a bull's eye! At the end a triple wedding is in the offing!
In Haydn's musical evocation of the surface of the moon, there are fragrant flowers and lush woodland instead of rocks and dust, birdsong and lyrically brilliant arias instead of silence. Haydn was internationally renowned for his operas all his life and was even invited to undertake spectacular journeys to England. No wonder, because this score by the wittiest composer of Viennese classical music is simply bursting with creativity and is perfect for becoming "moonstruck"!
Il mondo della luna
composer: Joseph Haydn, in 1777
libretto: Carlo Goldoni
conductor: Nikolaus Harnoncourt
director: Tobias Moretti
orchestra: Concentus Musicus Vienna ( N. Harnoncourt's orchestra)
Premiere: Sat, 05.12.2009 – 7:00 p.m.
the Haydn Church
Here a video introducing the Haydn Church in Eisenstadt, where Haydn worked – and, at least is buried in the "Haydn Mausoleum":
Sir Simon Rattle about Joseph Haydn's music
Enjoy listening (it's audio with pictures – no video at all!) to Sir Simon Rattle's explanatory notes to Joseph Haydn's music, especially the Symphony No 88.
"… For me he's the greatest underrated composer who's ever been…" … "I'm crazy about this music .."
J.H.'s "La fedeltà premiata" now at the Opera in Zürich
Adam Fischer (picture), founder of the "Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra" and familiar to all Haydn works, is the musical director of Haydn's opera "La fedeltà premiata" which is now played at the Zürich Opera house.
The Zürich-production is a very modern version of Haydn's opera, which he composed once for the Opera House at Schloss Eszterháza, where it was played for the first time on 25 February 1781.
Haydn: "…Now something about Paris. They were very surprised that my vocal composition should be so exceedingly complaisant; but I was not at all surprised, as they have not yet heard anything. If they were only to hear my operetta "L'isola disabitata" and my last opera for Shrovetide, "La fedeltà premiata", I assure you that nothing has yet been heard like them in Paris, and perhaps not even in Vienna. My misfortune is only that I have to stay in the country.." — Joseph Haydn, 27 May 1781

originality due to isolation – Nikolaus Harnoncourt about Haydn
These days Nikolaus Harnoncourt's statement about Joseph Haydn was published. He said, that Haydn was always willing to risk the newest. The reason was the isolation and originality of Haydn. He was not influenzed by others – the Esterházy Castle in Eisenstadt (where Haydn lived for 30 years) was far away from any scenery – and therefore Joseph Haydn didn't have to continue any method or habit.
Harnoncourt also said that Haydn had his own ( excellent & international !) orchester and his own audience, so he was extremely independent.
Haydn was an exception owing to those circumstances.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt himself became tasted by Haydn's music in his student years. Even his parents liked to play chamber music of Haydn. When Nikolaus Harnoncout founded the Concentus with his wife they had just Haydn on their first program!
How would he describe Haydn? – he was asked.
"…If someone has an idea of Haydn, then I would describe Haydn as one of the few musical universal genius. And the second sentence would be: With an extra bit of humour," said Harnoncourt.
Harnoncourt conducts Haydn (2009, vienna) – video:

Haydn's "Nikolaimesse" live with Welser-Möst
On Sunday, 16 November 2008 one of the worlds most famous music directors – and the designated new general music director of the "Wiener Staatsoper" – Franz Welser Möst will conduct the "Nikolaimesse" from Joseph Haydn in Vienna's Augustiner Church.
As Welser-Möst mentioned "… without their religious background works e.g. from Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven and Bruckner are not understandable…". He stands up for the church (sacred) music and is the patron for the rescue of the music in St. Augustin which was in a financial risk.
I found a very "pleasant" statement of Welser-Möst on youtube:

Guest post by Teresa Albor
Jeremy Deller said last month that art is useless. He said this in front of an audience of artists and no one batted an eyelash, no one objected, no one was offended. The event was an all day/all night performance piece, involving dozens of artists led by Bob and Roberta Smith, who gathered at the rundown seaside resort of Scarborough on the east coast of England.  "The Art Party†brought a spot of bright colour to the grey landscape, and approached the serious issue of cuts to government spending on the arts in a way only artists would: by breaking rules, being witty and irreverent. Perhaps, because it wasn't seeking to be "useful†the event was thought-provoking sans the righteousness of more serious affairs.
Having spent October in the village of Toffia working on a piece called "Everything simple is false,â€Â Bob and Roberta Smith's project resonated.  My month in Italy occurred at the end of three years in Chicago and before a move back to London. Although the village became home and the Association that sponsored me an instant community, I was very much an outsider, embedded for all too short a time to make a piece of art for/with an essentially captive audience. Arriving in Toffia was surprisingly reminiscent of my arrival to do development work as a US Peace Corps Volunteer on a tiny Philippine island thirty years ago. One big difference: This time there was no intention of "doing goodâ€. This time I was not concerned with the "usefulness†of my work.
When working in a process-based way, the intention can be to confer agency to people, but if this doesn't happen it's no big deal. And without going down the rabbit hole of trying to ascertain the criteria by which one critiques a relational project (if this is what this type of work might be called), my experience, at the very least, reinforced the importance of avoiding the pitfalls of trying to "do good †and its close corollary, to "be useful.â€
It also served to shed more light on other aspects/limitations of this way of working: that all relational work is political because it involves people; the tensions between maintaining the integrity of a piece when provocation ensues; the fact that you leave and others stay behind; and feeling as if you are inflicting your work on an audience that hasn't asked for it.
What happened was expected and unexpected at the same time.
The title of the piece is a reference to "Bonini's paradoxâ€: when complex systems are simplified so we can understand them, they become less true. A completely accurate map, for example, would need to be 1:1 to capture the detail of the territory it is meant to represent, but would be completely impractical. So we simplify it, modify it to suit our needs, until it becomes false, but perhaps, useful. (The London Tube Map is a good example.) This project was about discovering the complexity of a seemingly idyllic hill top village outside of Rome, to understand the "more true†version vs. an outsider's perception of its picture postcard perfectness. The idea was to listen to the people who lived there and reflect back to them what they were saying about themselves. Beyond that, the strategy was left to evolve based on living and working in the community.
This was not intended as a piece of political art. But in this case, as the village was in the process of selecting candidates for next year's mayoral elections, everything that impacted the daily lives of the village was perceived as political. And as the artist Tanya Bruguera has said, art is not political art, unless it has consequences. Using the low-tech bulletin board system of the village, flyers with quotes gathered though interviews with several villagers were posted. The first called for affinity despite the perfections and imperfections of the village. A local SMS number was displayed along with the phrase: "What do you think?†Forms were also distributed after cultural events and we used the Associations' Facebook page to solicit content, which, interestingly, generated the most direct comments. The second flyer said: "Toffia is divided. Toffia is united. What do you think?â€Â By now the posters were the talk of the town, some were torn down, and it was rumored the mayor's office didn't want any more posters to go up.
One woman said: "You've put your finger in a wound.†She was, as were most people, quietly supportive. The consensus seemed to be that this "outsider†was saying what no one else would say, that only an 'outsider' would say. In fact, all of the words, phrases, quotes came from people living in the village. Clearly, the work was going to be provocative, but what was unexpected was how easy it would be to provoke. Meanwhile, the Association was being put under pressure. It has taken years of hard work for the group to set up and operate a cultural programme on a tiny budget. To their credit they engaged in nuanced discussions about how to proceed—essentially encouraging and supporting the project. It was left to me to decide how far to push, knowing that if I pushed too hard, I could damage the very organization sponsoring me.
My methodology afforded me an observer's vantage point. At least six international artists a year stay in this village, and many of us do relational pieces. Wanting to avoid directly approaching too many of the residents here was, in part, to avoid what a fellow artist described as treating the audience like a "vending machine†for "responses to art projectsâ€. Locating so much experimentation in such a small place has its limitations.
In the end, responses—including those that were flattering as well as those that were provocative—were collated into a book with black and white line drawing illustrations of the village, alluding to one's ability to layer their own perceptions over a neutral reality. One hundred copies were given away for free on market day. The following day, an event/open studio was held and the Association led discussions of the work. To my surprise, the aspect of the poster campaign that was considered political was the phrase: "What do you think?†and several people at the event proposed continuing with more editions of a free periodical called: "What do you think?â€Â Whether this initiative takes off or not, at least the possibility of taking action, always there, sometimes acted upon, was considered.
As an artist assessing my own work, the strength of this project was the attempt to engage vs. entertain an audience and an openness to many different outcomes. It would not have been possible to achieve this if the work had as its intention an overt usefulness. And whilst flawed, and imperfect, too short, too simplistic, this project is certainly one that was worth doing and from which more, and better projects will emerge.
In a critical Robinsonian[1] sense of utility or usefulness – that utility is a circular concept in that an entity's utility is what makes it desirable, whilst the fact that individuals desire something shows that it has utility—art could be considered both useless and useful, in a world where we accept that art provides a deeper quality of life, even strongly desire art to be part of our lives. However, as artists, by accepting that what we make or do does not necessarily align itself with conventional definitions of usefulness we are enabled to move even further away from the trap of "production†within a capitalist social economy. This represents real freedom (and a good starting point for another essay).
Teresa Albor is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in London and interested in site specific projects and working with/within communities. Current investigations revolve around what art is, who it is for, how and where it is made, and where it is shown. A Midwesterner, with an MFA from the University of Arts London and an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin, she recently spent three years in Chicago.Â
[1] Joan Robinson, 1962. Economic Philosophy. Harmondsworth, Middlesex, UK: Penguin Books Ltd. "Utility is the quality in commodities that makes individuals want to buy them, and the fact that individuals want to buy commodities shows that they have utility". I like the fact that Amartya Sen described her as "totally brilliant but vigorously intolerant" and another of her students, Joseph Stiglitz, described his relationship with her as "tumultuous".

Avalanche, Yukon Territory, St. Elias Range, Mount St. Elias
Yukon Territory, St. Elias Range, Mount St. Elias
In June 1981, a party of four American climbers, C. Campbell, Mach Ellerby, Ted Hand- werk and Jon Iltis, were attempting Mount St. Elias via the Newton Glacier-Russell Col route. At 11:00 p.m. on June 11, as they were skiing from their Camp 3 and up the Newton Glacier, just below the headwall leading to Russell Col, a large ice avalanche came off the northeast face of Mount St. Elias. The following is edited from C. Campbell's account:
This was bigger than any other avalanche we had seen on the trip and we hastily turned downhill and skied as fast as we could. Mack and I were linked together by a 150-foot climbing rope and were 200 yards ahead of Jon and Ted, so we were in more immediate danger. I wasn't certain that we were in its path until the initial avalanche struck a gigantic hanging glacier which really caused an explosive sight and sound. Yet everything happened so quickly, I never really got scared until I looked back over my shoulder and saw the main body of the avalanche just a few yards behind Mack. A split second later, it hit me very hard from behind and everything went dark. I was struck on the head and knocked unconscious and can't remember anything else of the ride. Mack was tossed and turned and beaten badly by the ice. His pack, skis, gloves, and hat were ripped from him. Suddenly the beating Mack was enduring stopped and he saw the sky above—he had miraculously survived being completely buried—although only his head and left shoulder protruded.
I awoke completely buried in the ice. I saw nothing but a faint blue color and I felt no pain. I tried to move my arms which I could sense were stretched out in front of me but they wouldn't budge. I tried to take a single deep breath but the ice pressed firmly against my chest and wouldn't let me take a full breath. I passed out and figured that was it.
Meanwhile, on the surface, the avalanche had missed Jon and Ted, but the wind blast from it nearly knocked them over. When the cloud settled, they rushed over and spotted Mack's head jutting out. They switched their avalanche beepers from transmit to receive and yanked at Mack's beeper around his neck and shut it off. Without assisting Mack, they immediately spread out to search for me. Following a faint signal, Jon spotted an inch of yellow webbing sticking out of the snow. The webbing was attached to my pack which I was still wearing. A shovel they had with them was useless against the ice. They used their ice axes to dig me out. I was lifeless—blue in the face, blood from a gash on my scalp covered my face and, much worse, I wasn't breathing.
While they frantically dug to free my chest, I suddenly choked out some ice and started breathing. I was delirious for a full ten minutes. Finally, I was able to communicate and complained of severe back pains. I was very hypothermic also.
Back at the equipment cache there were two lightweight sleeping bag liners; Ted fetched them while Jon continued to unbury my legs. Unlike Mack, I still had on my pack, skis, and gloves. Mack spent a long time digging himself out with his left band and a borrowed mitten. He was severely bruised, but his worst injury was to his left hip, which was really giving him pain.
Campbell was dragged back to Camp 3 in a sleeping bag. Ellerby made it back on his own. By prior arrangement, an aircraft flew over to check on them on June 19 and they arranged, by radio, for a helicopter pickup from Camp 3. Fortunately, their injuries were found to be only sprains and severe bruises. (Source: C. Campbell)
The route we had chosen to climb Mount St. Elias is extremely prone to problems with avalanches and crevasses. Yet, the level of technical climbing is low which is what lured us into exposing ourselves to the objective dangers. (Source: C. Campbell)

Time for candles...the cakes not big enough, Daddy!
.Ta Da.
But, before they let me dig into the cake...we chowed down on the Hubby's DELISH lettuce wraps & fried rice.
If your hubby cooked like mine, you wouldn't eat out either! ;]
.Ry Guy & the Birthday Girl.
Lighting up the room...and there wasn't even 31 candles.
Haha...I'm lucky we didn't set off the smoke alarm!
Since Kai Bear was outa town on my Birthday, we headed to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate after picking her up from the airport! BREATHE Lambie!

Credit where credit is due, but shadows on wall in halls of mirrors (the true colors of a once-great and vibrant United States political party) were on full despicable display yet again yesterday, when so-called leaders of the current far-left socialist DemoMarxist party began their long-weekend planned interruption of the Kavanaugh hearing at the 7 second mark of Senator Grassley's introduction – that's SEVEN seconds – hardly enough time to pick up a rhetorical political stone and toss it at Grassley's head.
For the record, Brett Kavanaugh has a longer judicial history than any other person recently nominated to the Supreme Court. His body of case rulings is long and deep, and has been public knowledge since each and every ruling came down. What the Leftist-DemoMarxists want is private, inter-staff shadows-on-wall dialog to be disclosed, hoping to find a little nugget of something that might sound racist or bigoted or homophobic.
Good luck on that!
Not only were the egregious representative DemoMarxists in the Senate organized for shadows on walls, but the protesters bused-in who overran the public ticket line were also organized; these so-called 'demonstrators' being flagrantly paid-off by anti-Trump groups as the eye witnesses coming up can account for.
Take a look and listen:
"TOM SCHLUETER, TEXAS: Hello, I'm Dr. Tom Schlueter from Texas, we came here to participate in the hearings, to get in the line. They told us to be here at 8:00, 8:30 at the latest, to get in line to go inside and hear the hearings. We got here at about 8:15 and there was already 100 people in line, and most of them would be probably classified by me as 'opposing everything going on with Judge Kavanaugh,' and so we began to see a process of things unfolding as we were standing in line that kept the line from going ahead…"
Shadows on wall in halls of mirrors…
Anybody can take 'blood-money' in payment to exercise free speech. But make no mistake about it, these disruptive views are not representative among most of America. They are paid political operatives enslaved at the direction of their superiors, not the people.
Monica Showalter and her piece in today's American Thinker, 'Three frauds ginned up by Democrats' …
The left is out of ideas. Leftists have absolutely no grounds for opposing the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Yet they do, and with a passion. Attempting to politicize the nomination as a right-left matter hasn't worked. So now they're stooping to dirty, filthy tricks.
They cooked up an amazing string of them in their Kavanaugh hearing antics, held in the Senate yesterday. The bottom line in all of them was that they are frauds.
Exhibit A: The scream-fest in the chambers from leftist crazies that most of us heard about.
According to this editorial report in today's Investor's Business Daily:
In the first 40 minutes of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination hearing, Democrats interrupted the Senate Judiciary Committee proceedings 44 times. That's to say nothing of the protesters who alternately shrieked and cheered.
It was all well planned.
"Democrats plotted coordinated protest strategy over the holiday weekend and all agreed to disrupt and protest the hearing, sources tell me," NBC News' Kasie Hunt tweeted Tuesday morning.
To read the whole piece to completion simply click right here…
Does it say anywhere "Paid Actors" or "Dramatization" at the bottom of the screen? Reminds me of the two Roberts (Shaw and Redford) together with Paul Newman in 'The Sting' from 1973, the plot of which was also captured by Robert Stone in his own classic 'Hall of Mirrors'…
"In the procedure known as the Big Store the swindler takes the mark to someplace that's gonna get him what he wants. He fakes a horse parlor or a brokerage office. Why man, there's ticker tape and cats on the telephone and messenger boys runnin' in and out, it's a whole busy world. But it's all a put on. The cats on the phone, the impressive business types at their desks, the messengers – they're all actors. Nothing is happening except that somebody is being put on. The Big Store man makes his own reality, understand. He creates a whole world that somebody, for some reason, wants to believe in. Real people, real action, but it's not exactly happening, you dig?" – Robert Stone, "A Hall of Mirrors"
That's exactly what the current DemoMarxists are – Shadows on wall in halls of mirrors.
Time to take today's MAGA Pill!

iTEP Welcomes Partners & International Distributors to Washington DC
The recent 8th Annual iTEP Partners' Conference capped off a week-long series of international education events in Washington DC in which iTEP International participated actively. The week kicked off with iTEP International exhibiting at the 2019 NAFSA: Association of International Educators Conference.
The recent 8th Annual iTEP Partners' Conference capped off a week-long series of international education events in Washington DC in which iTEP International participated actively. The week kicked off with iTEP exhibiting at the 2019 NAFSA: Association of International Educators Conference.
This annual NAFSA conference brings together over 10,000 attendees from all around the world to learn about new trends and best practices in international education. iTEP International hosted booth #1747 in the Expo Hall to promote iTEP testing for on-campus ESL assessment/placement as well as iTEP for admissions. During the conference iTEP staff also attended a number of special events such as the Canada Reception in order to network and promote the family of iTEP exams.
Celebrating Partnerships
On Thursday, May 30, the 9th Annual iTEP Partners Appreciation Luncheon was held at Zaytinya Restaurant. This is the restaurant of celebrity Chef José Andrés one of the featured speakers at this year's NAFSA conference. In addition to developing extraordinary cuisine, Chef Andrés is known for his efforts as an international philanthropist.
Almost 100 guests enjoyed the luncheon including partner schools and iTEP international distributors. iTEP was especially honored to have Ambassador (Ret) Janice L. Jacobs in attendance. Ambassador Jacobs is a valued member of the iTEP International Advisory board.
Delivering Results
Several of iTEP's international distributors presented on project successes and current initiatives in their respective markets. One such example was "How to Win and Deliver a Complex Government Project," by Laura Victoria Zabala, CEO of eDistribution SAS.
Laura discussed the challenges of expanding from Colombia into Ecuador and working on a nation-wide testing project. iTEP partners from the USA, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Turkey, Mexico, and China were also present and actively participated in the discussions.
Activities concluded on Sunday, June 2 with a cultural tour of Washington DC and closing luncheon. This event, along with all of the superb luncheons and dinners, was arranged by iTEP CEO, Sharif Ossaryan, and allowed for iTEP staff and international partners to have time to interact and spend time together outside of the conference room. Traveling as a group to see the many monuments of DC was a perfect way to finish a successful week of planning, exhibiting, conferring, and charting a course forward for iTEP International.
The International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP) was introduced in 2008 to modernize English language assessment with on-demand scheduling, 24 hour grading, and accurate test data. iTEP provides a convenient and cost-effective testing option delivered in a highly secure environment.
iTEP offers a variety of assessment tools for university and secondary school admissions and ESL placement, hiring and employee assessment (including tests for specific industries), and iTEP Conversation, which assesses conversation skills in 30 minutes. All iTEP exams are graded by certified and trained native English speakers.
More than 800 colleges, universities, middle/high schools, and boarding schools in the USA and Canada accept iTEP results for admissions. Applicants can take iTEP at more than 500 test centers in 61 countries. iTEP International is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

Home Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield - Redemption
Baker Mayfield - Redemption
By Sooners Tube At 4:07:00 PM 0
Baker Mayfield began his college football career as a walk-on player for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. He is notable for being the first walk-on true freshman quarterback to start a season opener at a BCS school. Mayfield transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma following alleged scholarship issues and a lack of communication with coaches. After sitting out the 2014 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Mayfield won the starting quarterback job in 2015. He won several awards for his performance as a senior in 2017, including the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, and unanimous All-America recognition.
Mayfield was drafted by the Browns first overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. In his first NFL appearance, Mayfield led Cleveland to their first win in 19 games, ending a 635 day winless streak. He threw 27 touchdowns in his 13 starts for the Browns in 2018, breaking the rookie-season passing-TD record previously held by Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson who both threw 26 touchdowns. Mayfield managed to break the record while appearing in two fewer games than Manning and Wilson. Source: Wikipedia

Oil Jugs
Completing the 2nd bisc kiln in the current series,to be followed next week by a couple of glaze firings. I made a batch in the previous round of work,and they've nearly all been sold. This time we made them in small,med and large sizes,as people found the large version too big for the table. In my 25 years in England,I doubt that I got through more than a liter or so of olive oil: now we buy it by the jerry-can [from Nevo in Sde Eliezer,unbeatable quality,pure "Suri" olive oil],and it doesn't last the year.

OpenBSD + Squid + pf Transparent www Proxy Firewall
There is a perfectly serviceable squid package in the OpenBSD ports collection. I have found that I sometimes require a newer version of squid, or that I'm running an older version of OpenBSD, and the newer squid ports are not available. Also, the port doesn't offer a straightforward method to compile squid with more than 1024 file descriptors, which you will need on a moderately busy proxy.
This is the process for setting up squid from the source tarball.
This is the process for setting up squid from the source tarball.
o Compile kernel with

o Edit /etc/sysctl.conf
o Download squid, extract the file and run configure as root. Set ulimit -n 8192 before running
configure or it will use the default 1024.
# ulimit -n 8192

Our Leadership
Pastor Murdoch Macfarlane
Ministry Associate
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I came to Canada as a teacher, but really to get away from God, in 1967. Not long after, I met Carol, and we were married in 1969. God has blessed us with 3 children:
Iain, his wife Cindy, and their children, Finley and Brighton;
Heather, husband Brett, and their son Evan;
Scott, wife Kyra, and their son Mason.
I spent 25 years in the Saskatoon Public School System as a teacher, Vice-Principal, and the last 16 years as Principal.
Carol and I gave our lives to Jesus on March 9,1980, at Circle Drive Alliance Church and soon began to minister in evangelism, leading life groups and on the Board of Elders.
Following retirement from the School System, God led us to Elim Church where in 1999 we were invited to join the staff as assistant Pastor and we served on staff for 17 years. Our responsibilities included evangelism, where we had the privilege of introducing the Alpha ministry, discipleship, where small groups played a significant role, and leadership of the Board of Elders in visitation, prayer, healing and deliverance ministry. We also led teams in ministry at the Regional Psychiatric Centre for a number of years.
These were fruitful years and we look back on them with fond memories, but we also look forward to ministry among you as we help with the Sunday morning ministries, visitation and evangelism/discipleship as we anticipate helping out with the Alpha ministry.

1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E55 AMG 5.5 V8 from UK and Ireland
The best rocket-powered auto saloon bar none
Nothing has gone wrong as such, however, the steering wheel is slightly left-hand-down and the shoulder of the nearside front tyre is smoother by the hour. Something ain't quite right here.
Also, the car is extremely prone to stone-chipping; this may be because the front of the E-Class is very slab like; it could also be because the quality of the paint and finish is below par. Hard to say.
General Comments:
Basically a standard E430 Avantgarde on steroids, the E55 AMG pumps out more torque than a BMW M5 and gets to 60mph in about the same time. In terms of performance, it's on a par with most modern supercars, although is limited to 155mph.
The ride is a little too rough at times, being somewhat at odds with the Mercedes badge and the comforting, cosseting ride everyone associates with it. Down bumpy backlanes or around broken, urban roads you'll wince at crashes and jarring from the horse and cart AMG suspension.
The gearbox is extremely smooth, and seems fully capable of dishing out all that torque, but on hot summer days and after long runs it becomes prone to slipping. A number of times I've lost forward thrust altogether, and have had to coast gently to the side of the road, saw the transmission selector up and down its gate a few times, and pray for Drive to wake up again.
The interior, while accommodating, airy and pleasant, is not quite up to the standard of BMW, and the silver/black leather, although unique and striking, is actually rather crude (the Nappa option in the 5- and 7-series is a world away in terms of quality).
Other than that, it's a teenager in grandfather's clothing: it barks like a NASCAR winner and spins its tyres in second and first gear -- no mean feat for a large, automatic saloon -- and at 100mph the shove in your kidneys is really rather addictive. 120mph arrives only a few moments later; the limiter is reach soon after that.
Bottom line: sure, it has its faults, as does any car, but it's an all-round superb rocket ship with nothing else to rival it (the M5 is not automatic and has a less than desirable image). I can't think of another vehicle that's large, low-key, comfortable, well made, automatic, has four doors plus a large boot, and sprints to 60mph in less than five seconds. All wrapped up in an unassuming bodyshell without the nasty bad-boy extras on rival BMW M-sport cars. Definitely worth more than a glance if you're in the market for an ubersaloon!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You raised two of my personal beef's with Mercedes Benz.
Paint chipping and leather quality.
I work for a Mercedes dealership and I continually see 2 month old Benzes covered in paint chips - and then you go and look in the yard at 5 year old Benzes with none at all, and yet these 5 year old Benzes have 70k's on the clock. So I'm starting to think Mercedes have totally gone downhill on their quality.
As for the leather, it's crap. Unless you specify the Comfort leather which equals the standard BMW leather, you'll end up with this holey crap that tends to rip or just look really bad.
So from now on I'm not going to consider buying a Mercedes, Go for a BMW, they haven't diluted their values.

Born in 1964, in Lebanon among a large family of six boys and two girls, Omar El-Harrache had a first career as a writer and journalist until he completed a bachelor's degree in law in 1994.
In 1995, he leaves journalism to manage the office of a member of parliament.
In 1997, he completed his law degree, joined the Tripoli Bar association and started publishing in its legal journal.
To ensure the well-being and safety of his family, Omar leaves his homeland in 2001 to immigrate to Canada.
Encountering language difficulties, he changed career, becoming a jeweller studying gemology. He maintained a link to his former career by working as chief editor for an Arab language newspaper in Montreal: Machreq et Al Maghreb. He also participated in the drafting of the statutes for the Association des juristes sans frontières au Québec.
In 2010, Omar returned to school and completed a master degree in engineering at l'École de technologie supérieure in 2015. He led a group of research academics at the Centre de l'entrepreneuriat technologique CENTECH, affiliated to the ETS, in a project which developed a new snow removal technology called "Paraneige", hoping this may replace the roof at the Montreal Olympics stadium.
Always a chess player, Omar won his first trophy in a college tournament in 1988. Since 2015, he teaches chess playing at the Association d'échecs et maths de Montréal.
In 2017 and 2018, he works for the snow removal services of the SPVM.
Omar is married to Rima El-Chah and father to Soheib, Majd-Eddine and Noura.
Omar obtained the Canadian citizenship and has lived in Laval since 2009. He wishes to serve and represent his new community at the Quebec National Assembly.

I started writing this column while spending the weekend at the Jersey Shore where my mom has a home, and where, for most of my childhood life, work and life blurred together. My parents, who owned a series of beachfront motels while I was growing up, made little effort to separate work and life.
If we went out for dinner, we always stopped by the motel on the way home. On these visits, I sat in the car, listening to the radio or dozing, wondering what was keeping them. Sometimes my mom waited with me while my dad went inside. After my dad passed away and my mom took over the business, she was the one going inside.
When I finally joined her a few times, I realized why she stayed there so long. She enjoyed talking to the night clerk and whoever else was hanging around. They chatted about mundane news and local gossip: a guest disliked the room and wanted a refund; a family had driven all the way down to the shore only to learn of a crisis that required them to turn around; a crowd of drunken promgoers had ransacked the motel next door; the local convenience store now stocked vanilla-flavored coffee. These moments were more than merely catching up on business. My parents were checking in on another child, something they had built, nurtured and loved.
It is no surprise that I was writing over the weekend. I, too, do not have many boundaries between work and life. I toggle between my writing projects and my leisure by the hour rather than by the days of the week. Most mornings I start the day by cycling or walking with a friend, rarely getting to my desk until about 11. Often, the friend is another writer, and we chat about work and careers. These morning rambles are where I work out most of my column ideas. I am usually on my computer late into the night, working on my blog or e-mails. I take my BlackBerry everywhere. Several nights a week, I go to literary events or work-related functions. For fun, I play poker with a bunch of journalist colleagues.
It wasn't always like this. For nearly 10 years, I practiced law, and my work largely took place in the office. I lived for my vacations, threw myself into my hobbies and rarely thought about work on the weekends or late at night. When work did spill over into my free time, I cursed the job and ultimately left it behind. I chose that life initially to rebel from my parents' lifestyle. But somehow, I have found my way back to a life with few boundaries. And I rarely complain about it. Whether you see yourself as a workaholic or as someone who merely blurs the line between work and play has lot to do with whether you like your work.
With work-anywhere technology and a rise in entrepreneurship, we who blur by choice are in good company. A Google search of the phrase "work life blurring" brought up more than two million links; "work life blending" delivered a bit over seven million. Could it be that blurring and blending are the new work/life balance?
In addition to entrepreneurs like my parents, blurring is rampant among those who fashion a career out of a passion, like Anthony Sandberg.
A lifelong sailor, Mr. Sandberg, 58, spent his 20s floating around in a postcollege exploration with stints as a construction worker, dishwasher, ski instructor, sporting goods salesman, solar panel installer, gas station attendant, plumber and fry cook. Then he realized that nothing made him happier than his time on the sea, which he says is in his blood. "My dad was Norwegian and a sailor. If you don't fish, ski and sail, you're not a Norwegian."
He dreamed of a business that would remove barriers to learning how to sail. "I wanted to reinvent sailing," he said, "so that it wasn't just for the people who belonged to a yacht club or were born into it." He began by borrowing a boat and giving lessons to anyone he could round up. Eventually, he founded the OCSC Sailing School, now a prominent sailing school on the San Francisco Bay. He has been running it for almost 30 years with a partner, Richard Jepsen.
Mr. Sandberg's relationship with sailing is like a love affair that has kept its passion into the twilight years. But he has worked at that. The key, he says, is that he found a business partner whose skills complement his so that he can spend his time doing the parts of the business that invigorate him.
"I'm a great connector and gregarious, and I'm bubbling over with new ideas," he says. "My partner, Rich, is very detail oriented. He loves putting structure around my ideas, so I'll say, 'I have this great idea for a new class,' and he'll say 'Great, let's find the right instructors, put it in the water, create a syllabus.' " The two partners even receive counseling every month with a business communications adviser to make sure they are staying on track. "If I had to run all aspects of this business, it would crush me," Mr. Sandberg says.
Naysayers would argue that if work were meant to be fun, it wouldn't be called work. That kind of talk is infuriating to Maggie Mistal, a veteran career coach, who has interviewed hundreds of people about their working lives for her radio show, "Making a Living With Maggie" on the Martha Stewart channel of Sirius satellite radio.
"When people do something they enjoy, it gives them energy," she says. "They start living in a way that has meaning and purpose. And just because work is fun, it doesn't mean everything else loses its appeal." If your passions don't exactly lead to a career choice, Ms. Mistal says the personality traits and skills surrounding those passions should, and that you should use those to craft a career choice.
Ryan Healy, 23, who blogs about the careers of 20- to 30-year-olds , makes a good case for the blurry life in "Why I don't like work/life balance" at Penelope Trunk's blog, Brazen Careerist. As he says: "This whole notion of needing to separate work and life implies that your career, which takes up about 75 percent of your day, is something you simply try to get through so you can go home and do what you really enjoy for the other 25 percent. What a terrible way to live."
Mr. Healy suggests that his tendency to blur has to do with his generation's habit of being always connected: "Occasionally I need to contact an older co-worker late at night or on a Sunday. Typically, I e-mail the person, receive no response and the work waits until the next day's business hours. Usually, I am hesitant to call and bother older people during their 'home time.' My home isn't sacred. I have grown up being connected 24 hours a day, I have no problem with sending a quick work e-mail or organizing my inbox during those supposed off hours."
I am not yet convinced that loosening boundaries is the answer for everyone. But if you chronically blur the lines between work and life, it is wise to find work you love — or at least enjoy enough to welcome it following you home occasionally.

Bamboo Forest - 5 is the fifth level of Bamboo Forest. How this
Will-O-Whisp ended up in these bamboo bordered woods is unknown. Take him down.
The player has to engage 2 Ninja Bowmans, 1 Will-o-Whisp and 1 Mandarin. Each enemy's stats are shown below.
Choose Matilda in Druid, Bomb in Cannoneer and The Blues in Rogues. Heal with Matilda if the birds' healths are not full and if they're full, attack with her. Then attack with the others (focus on Ninja Bowmans first, then the Mandarin and the last pig, Will-O-Whisp). Use the Rage Chili on The Blues when it is full. Repeat this over until you win or either lose.
In Summary
Will-O-Whisp can make the birds miss their attack, and Mandarin can lower attack power.

Public education in America is in massive hassle. What I'm trying to describe are the political compromises made by the trainer unions, with complicity by some administrators and ratification by local college boards, decreasing the standard of education and the integrity of the teaching expertise, solely for the benefit of energy and cash.
Supporting academics and senior leaders in utilizing evidence to realize the utmost doable profit for young folks. The Iron Age individuals replaced bronze and developed the knowledge of iron smelting know-how to decrease the cost of living since iron utensils had been stronger and cheaper than bronze equivalents.
The highway of education is paved with a basic and much-reaching approach to learning that forges information in a variety of topics, together with well being. Children coping with every day life struggles can find such classes not solely uninspiring, but not worth their time.
On the lowest spectrum of the economic scale, it isn't stunning to see a low view of the importance of education as parents are likely to prioritize their children's means to make cash over the longer-term benefits of schooling.
Following the studying, staff from the Florida Department of Education's (FDOE) Division of Blind Providers (DBS) led the students in interactive activities that supplied them with an understanding of how people with various visible impairments reside, work and play.
With this in mind, we have worked with educators to design a new curriculum that helps you give students the abilities to speak via drawing, images, music, and filmmaking — after which fold these abilities into every subject you teach.

Blue Origin may be best known for its reusable launch system, New Shepard, which successfully exceeded 330,000 feet in altitude before returning safely to Earth. But Robert Hicks found himself "firmly on the ground" during the three months he spent as a propulsion development intern at the company's engine- and flight-testing facility in Van Horn, Texas. "It was amazing," says the senior aerospace engineering major at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). "The experience was beyond comparison to anything I've done in school or in previous internships."
Hicks, who also works as an undergraduate research assistant for UAH's Propulsion Research Center, can actually pinpoint the moment his passion for the aerospace industry took flight. "When I was in second grade, my parents took me to see the launch of the space shuttle at Cape Canaveral," he says. "It actually took three times, and when I saw it, I was like, I want to do that – whether it's as an astronaut or an engineer, I want to build or fly that!" That milestone moment was followed by multiple trips to Huntsville to attend Space Camp, which in turn led to Hicks enrolling at UAH to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering.
It was better than what I thought it was going to be – it was bigger, louder, everything.
"I started getting more interested in designing and building these space vehicles rather than being in them," he says, "and UAH had what I wanted to do, which is propulsion." To get hands-on experience as a student, Hicks also took part in an 18-month co-op as a research technician at the Boeing Company. "Initially I worked on NASA's docking system, and then I worked on the CST-100 star liner," he says, referring to Boeing's vehicle for transferring crew to the International Space Station. "I did that for 20 hours a week in addition to having a full-time course load."
By junior year, Hicks decided to dedicate himself more fully to his academic education. He enrolled in UAH's Joint Undergraduate Master's Program (JUMP), and began taking graduate level courses to put toward a master's degree in aerospace systems engineering. He also set about securing an internship that he could complete the summer before his senior year. "I had been looking at Blue Origin for a few years, so when I saw the internship on their website, I applied," he says.
Shortly thereafter, Hicks received an email inviting him to take part in a phone interview with a Blue Origin employee – and UAH alumna – propulsion engineer Michelle Christensen. "It was technical and hard, and by the end I was sweating," he laughs. A few days later, they offered him the job. "I just lost it," he says. "I screamed quietly to myself, and then when I hung up the phone with them, I screamed some more."
Hicks ended up driving the 1,250 miles from Huntsville to Van Horn, using the time to listen to "Into the Black: The Extraordinary Untold Story of the First Flight of the Space" and "Breaking the Chains of Gravity: The Story of Spaceflight Before NASA." Once there, he was assigned to the company's engine development team, where he worked on BE-3 propulsion system development, alternative drying methods for the engine, and cost analyses. "It was better than what I thought it was going to be – it was bigger, louder, everything," he says. "Being able to put your hands on hardware and see what happens is crazy. The experience was invaluable."
It was also inspiring. "By taking cutting-edge technologies from academia and research and applying them to the real world, Blue Origin has made reusable rockets that bring us incrementally closer to commercial space travel," he says. And while Hick's professional destination has always been the aerospace industry – "Hopefully with Blue Origin!" he says – his summer with the company has encouraged him to set his personal sites farther afield. "More people will be in space in the coming generations, so that it will no longer be a thing of imagination," he says. "A goal in my life is to go to space at least once before I die."

We are now ready to start lining the walls, we have all the cables required in, we have all windows cut outs and all other cut outs we will need (That we can think of for now, I'm sure we will have forgotten something!)
We start by lining with raw 6mm plywood, we then line over the top with 3mm decorative boarding, this way we have at least 9mm of fixing at any position on the walls. This is an advantage when fitting furniture and bits to the walls.
The 6mm plywood we have used is a finished decorative plywood (the only reason for this is is some old stock that we have had and it was cheaper than us buying in some alternative 6mm plywood)
The full boards are an easy job, the next few need some scribing and cutting, for example the board shown has to be cut round the water heater so we hold the board into position and scribe round the water heater. The next board is a little more difficult as it has the wheel arch in it. But basically the same process as shown, simply offer up and scribe round whatever your obstacle.
Finally we need to make sure any cables that need to pull through the boards are done, we need to make a small hole big enough for the cables and pull them through
As we have a nice flat roof on this job we can cut the boards to height as there is no scribing to do at the top or bottom.
Once the sheets are cut to size we can screw direct to the steel ribs to make sure we have a good fixing. As we are screwing to steel we need to pre drill the ribs, so we get the board into position mark 2 lines, 1 at the highest rib and 1 at the lowest then drill and screws along these lines. This gives us a good solid fixture on all wallboards.
As we have already made some "Sub Frames" for the windows we simply fit the boards over the window frames. Put a couple of screws through the board into the window frame to secure it into position. Then as with the roof lights we can then router the board out leaving a perfect finish

Quality Environments for Young Children
The first step in creating an appropriate environment for infants, toddlers, and preschool children is to examine how young children learn and develop. Each stage of development has unique characteristics that influence how a child will experience his or her environment.
For example, infants and toddlers learn about their world by acting on objects and materials in their environment. As the toddler feels the texture of a beach ball, pushes the air filled object, and rolls it across the carpeted floor, he constructs an understanding of the ball. Because infants and toddlers learn by interacting with the environment, their space must be designed with many opportunities for physically exploring real materials. Preschoolers are active learners who continue to examine materials while beginning to use objects in more complex combinations. They are developing symbolic representation as they take on roles and participate in socio-dramatic play. Their language explodes during this period as they try to find "labels" for the objects and people in their world. Language gives young children the power to question and find answers.
Learning centers are effective ways to organize and support these developing abilities. The center areas clearly communicate to preschoolers what activity occurs in this area and the available materials that will stimulate their play. Learning centers encourage language interactions, socio-dramatic play, and the construction of experiences based on their level of understanding. By adding literacy materials including books, paper and writing tools, this construction will include "reading and writing" opportunities.
Young children respond differently, based on the design of the environment in which they live. An effectively designed classroom has the potential for positively influencing all areas of children's development: physical, social /emotional, and cognitive. Language and learning are nurtured in an environment that values and plans appropriate opportunities. The environment can support the development of behaviors that are valued in our society, such as cooperation and persistence. An aesthetically pleasing space can develop a child's appreciation for the beautiful world around them. Most importantly, quality environment can provide a home like setting that "feels" like a good place to be.
