Friday the 13th ... Again
So, thanks to what I assume must be an unusual coincidence, we got two Friday the 13th's back to back in February and March this year. (There will be another one in November!) Last month, it was a totally normal day (not that I'm superstitious and expected anything different.)
But today, it was apparently our turn to experience the full effect. We had a minor car accident first thing this morning before the sun was even up. Nobody'shurtdon'tworry! But still, now we have to deal with insurance and repairs ... blurggggg...
We went to the gym this morning, against our better judgment. Haha. (Actually, we are generally morning workout people because it helps to get it out of the way and it makes me feel more energetic at work ... except on the days we do strength training because my body is just not ready for that business at 6:00 a.m.)
But this week has been super hard, coming off my everlasting cold and then dealing with the time change. Sooooo tiiiiired...
So, we had skipped a couple of workouts this week and we figured the least we could do was walk the treadmill for a bit today. After the gym, we jaunted across the street to Panera to pick up breakfast before heading home.
As we were sitting at the light, waiting to get our left-turn arrow, I noticed a car making a left turn into the plaza we were waiting to exit. As it did so, an SUV going straight apparently did not see it and hit it at full speed. The car spun around once or twice and made a stop by colliding into Adam's car.
It only jolted us a little bit, but there was nothing we could really have done to avoid it. There just wasn't time to reverse and there was a truck behind us also, so I'm not sure how much room we had.
At any rate...
It's not the end of the world. Very fortunately, nobody in any of the 3 cars involved was seriously injured. The smaller car had a younger, maybe high school- or college-aged girl who went into an immediate panic attack/hysteria over the shock of it, but thankfully, her car was struck on the rear passenger side, so she wasn't hurt ... although her car was definitely done. (She was going to work at the McDonald's we were sitting right next to, so she kept repeating how she didn't mean to do anything, she was just trying to go to work. I felt really bad for her.)
The SUV driver's airbags went off, so he had the wind knocked out of him and probably will have a bruise, but it could've been worse for both of them and thankfully wasn't.
To this moment, I couldn't even tell you whose fault it was. I'm not sure if she was running her turn light or not, and it also seems like the SUV driver should been paying attention and slowed down.
I kept watching her slowly turn toward us and his SUV keep barreling forward, wondering whether they were going to notice each other at some point. And then, as her car spun around toward us after the collision, I kept thinking, "That car is going to hit us." And then, of course, it did.
Fortunately, Adam's car is still drivable and he's already filed the claim online, so hopefully we'll get the body repairs taken care of without too much damage to our wallet.
I think the worst part of the whole thing (deep sarcasm here) was that after we finally got home an hour later and reheated my breakfast sandwich, I bit into it only to find out they gave me the wrong one. Paneeeerrrraaaaaa!!!!! *shakes fist*
Two more pictures for you.
Stay safe out there!

A new data privacy agency should be created to confront 21st century threats and address emerging concerns for digital customers, consumer and privacy organizations said today as they released a framework for comprehensive privacy protection and digital rights for members of Congress.
The United States is woefully behind other nations worldwide in providing modern data protections for its consumers, instead relying solely on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to safeguard consumers and promote competition. But corporations understand that the FTC lacks rule making authority and that the agency often fails to enforce rules it has established.
"The FTC has failed to act," said Caitriona Fitzgerald, policy director at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "The U.S. needs a dedicated data protection agency." Alternately, many democratic nations like Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Ireland and Japan already have dedicated data protection agencies with independent authority and enforcement capabilities.
Groups that have signed on to the framework include Berkeley Media Studies Group, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, Center for Digital Democracy, Center for Media Justice, Color of Change, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, Defending Rights & Dissent, Electronic Privacy Information Center, Media Alliance, Parent Coalition for Student Privacy, Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Privacy Times, Public Citizen, Stop Online Violence Against Women and U.S. PIRG.privacy-and-digital-rights-for-all-framework

The Streets
The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living
Album Review
Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. It is hard to communicate just how hard this album sucks. Mike Skinner ably demonstrates why journalists should hold on before proclaiming anyone a new street poet genius, as the Streets third album tries to convince everyone just how hard it is to be Mike Skinner following the success of A Grand Don't Come For Free. Like that album, it tells first person stories, however these are the kind of whiney self-obsessed stories that everyone dreads from 'celebs' in OK Magazine. Trying to come off as a clever sideways glance at celebrity in 2005/6, Skinner instead just ends up telling stories that even his mum would find hard not to yawn at. Saved not by wit, by musical interest or, well, by anything at all, Skinner instead attempts the easy way to make an easy living by trying to surf the success of A Grand all the way to the bank.

This morning our Head of Android, Scott Bown, went live on BBC Radio Bristol to talk about the latest figures from Samsung. Stats from Comscore, reported in the Guardian earlier this week, show that in the U.S. since September 2009 Samsung has gone from being the third-largest in installed base (behind Motorola, which had 58.3m of the 234m users, and LG, which had 50.8m) to the leader, with 60.1m of the 234m.
John Darvell, who hosts BBC Radio Bristol's weekday mid-morning slot, asked Scott a series of questions relating to Android's marketshare in the UK and the US. You can listen to the full interview on BBC iPlayer for the next 7 days. Scott's interview starts at 2 hours 42!

"It's a great ending, from my perspective, it's very satisfying," she said. "But I think a lot of people will be upset too."
Although Sophie declined to give any details about what that ending that will upset so many people is exactly, she did admit to telling her husband, Joe Jonas, how the show ends.
"I've just told Joe. But he's so mad at me, he loves the show!" she said. "Well, I have to tell someone, otherwise I'll burst."
We'll be waiting with bated breath, Sophie.

It was the stuff of viral-video legend when New York anchorwoman Sue Simmons used the f-word on live television in 2008. The Daily News reports that the longtime broadcaster said she was actually playfully talking to her co-anchor, Chuck Scarborough, and thought she was off the air.
Simmons, who retired from NBC News earlier this year, spoke about the incident on Wednesday night during a gala celebrating her career, which was thrown by Essence magazine and the New York Association of Black Journalists.
"On many a night it was hard to get his attention because he fell in love with his computer thing, his Google thing," Simmons said of Scarborough.
Thinking they were off-air, Simmons cursed at her colleague, who was once again immersed in electronics.
"You know, he still didn't hear me?" Simmons joked. "Everybody in New York heard me, believe you me. I heard from a lot of people."
Of course she was mortified when she realized what had happened.
"I got caught all the time. I got caught spinning around in my chair. I got caught doing a lot of things, but I never got caught saying that awful word," she said.

If You Think You Understand , Then This Might Change Your Mind
The Need to Deal with a Top Homeless PTSD Veterans Support Group
There are many things that a lot of people all over are doing to make sure that they can put food on the table and as well to make sure they will be able to support their families so that they do not lack clothes to wear and even the food that they will eat. You will be able to find out that there are those people who are doing hard work such as carrying goods on their back and as well there are those who will have specialized in a certain course and they can earn from the office that they will be operating. As well there are people who will have saved some amount of money that they used to open a business and they are selling products and services to the people who need them. Without forgetting there are those people who have the responsibility of defending the country from any kind of attack and they are also available to maintain peace all over the country and they are the soldiers who are in the military. In the military, there are a lot of things that will be happening and even worse the soldiers may get into a war and they end up dying in the process something that is not good for both the family members and the soldier. The soldiers work very hard to make sure that the people in the country will be able to have a good and peaceful life something that cannot be taken for granted and you can be sure that the risks they are facing as they are going the job are big. At times you will be able to find out that there are a lot of veterans who are homeless and something that happens more often and there may be people to help them while at times there may not be any help provided to them. The homeless PTSD veterans may as well have a lot of stress that will be eating them up and no one will be available to talk to them and the one who will be able to understand them. In case you are one of the many homeless PTSD veterans you will need to take the option of looking for help from someone who will understand you and what you are going through and be sure that you are going to take a big step ahead in your life. I will let you know the need to work with a top homeless PTSD veterans support group if you are one of the many veterans.
In the top homeless PTSD veteran's support group, you are sure that the people there will have gone through something similar to what you are going through, and for that reason, they understand the pain and the pressure that you have. The above points show the need to deal with a top homeless PTSD veterans support group.
Case Study: My Experience With


text:
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality with increasing prevalence worldwide. Changes in oxygen tension such as hypoxia, has been found to modulate the release of purine metabolites such as uric acid. Serum uric acid increases significantly during hypoxia. Elevated uric acid levels have been associated with the presence of systemic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk. Also, it could serve as a non-invasive indicator for COPD severity.
Method: This is a prospective cohort analytic study among COPD in exacerbation patients at Philippine Heart Center. Serum uric acid level determination was done as part of the routine blood tests obtained during admission. Patients were followed-up until discharge and through a telephone conversation 30 days after discharge to determine mortality. Fisher's exact analysis used to determine the association between elevated serum uric acid level and mortality and independent t-test was used to determine the length of hospitalization, ICU stay and NIV use between patients with low and high serum uric acid levels. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: A total of 159 patients were included in the study. Fifty-seven patients (57 %) were males and forty-three (43 %) were females. The mean age of the study population was 69 years old. Majority of the patients (91%) were smoker, with mean average pack-year-smoker of 25.57+9.03 pack-year. One hundred forty four patients (91%) has no PTB treatment. Majority of the patients (66%) were hypertensive with GOLD Classification C (55 %). Patients with high serum uric acid levels required more prolonged hospitalization with a mean average hospital stay was 16.38+6.58 days and presented higher rates of 30-day mortality. Moreover, patients with high serum uric acidlevels required noninvasive ventilation (NIV) which were both statistically significant (p 0.005 and p <0.001 respectively).
Conclusion: Elevated serum uric acid levels on admission among patients with COPD in exacerbation are associated with increased 30-day mortality and increased risk of NIV use.

The Use Of An RPA: Rubber Process Analyzer
There are several different models and makes of RPA. Rubber Process Analyzer systems can come in different sizes and model designs with the selection of the optimal equipment for any application based on several different factors.
In rubber manufacturing, testing and in research and development facilities, the ability to test raw elastomers or the finalized mixed rubber materials is critical. With the RPA rubber materials can be easily and continually tested in-house. This allows for continual assurance of quality control at all points in the production cycle.
With the more advanced types of RPA systems, it is possible to measure the raw materials before the production, during the production and after the curing processes. This information is invaluable in detailing optimal production and end results and in addressing possible variations in a final product that may be very difficult to be able to trace without this continual testing feature.
Considerations in Purchasing Equipment
When you are considering the right model and manufacturer for the RPA rubber testing should be a focus for the manufacturer. This is a highly specialized type of device that has to be designed specifically for the analysis of the materials that need to be tested.
Look for companies specializing in rheology systems with a top reputation for dependable, reliable and accurate systems. There are only a few companies with the experience, expertise and the scope to produce the equipment. Take the time to compare the different features and the reporting ability of the equipment.
Verify that the system has the ability to meet your testing needs with regards to sample numbers. You will also need to know the specific software systems and the reporting, integration and compatibility features with current laboratory and testing equipment.
Finally, look for an RPA that simplifies the testing process. Different systems can provide fully automated processing of samples, something that may be important to ongoing testing needs.

Yep! Its that time of the week again! Here are three of my favourite new items available online this week!
3. I stumbled across this beautiful little ring when looking for things to buy with my vouchers, and I like it so much that I might go and find it in my local Miss Selfridge tomorrow as a little treat with my wages. Seeing as its only £4.00 I don't think I can help myself! "What if you can't find it?!" I hear you cry. Do not worry my little lovelies. I will ask santa to pop one in my stocking as I have been SUCH a good girl. I love the scroll writing, and this ring is a little more understated than your usual necklaces. Find it HERE.
2. These were new in at Topshop this week, just after I had spent my voucher…great timing! These are super soft long gloves. How adorable do they look? I can imagine them with 3/4 sleeve cardigans or jackets, worn bunched up around the wrists. The colours are so wintery and cute. I want them all! They are £12.00 a pair and you can find them HERE.
1. At number one, yep you guessed it, SHOES! By my favourite of all time, Kurt Geiger (obviously). These "Adalia" courts are very different to what I would normally pick, but the lovely salmon pink reeled me in! These are a perfect height for daywear, and would be great for night with dresses and skirts. I would wear them with some black skinnies, a chiffon blouse and a big cardigan for a chic day time look, or a little black dress with a matching clutch for night. Perfect! They cost £80.00, and are available in Salmon (picture), Pink, Taupe and Black. Find them/treat me HERE. (size 39 wink wink)
That's it lovelies. Hope you like this weeks picks! I probably won't be updating until Monday now as I am busy busy busy. Hopefully I'll have some photos of uni work and sketchbooks to show you. Plus I'll be doing a post of whats on my Christmas list! Lets see how much of it I can blag, lol!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

For some they say Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, but for us it was the best one we've had for at least 6 months.
Friday I FINALLY took the call to confirm we had exchanged contracts on the house, our living nightmare is over and everything will be done and dusted by Friday the 20th. It is like such a weight has been lifted I cannot begin to describe the sense of relief that we feel, we can finally move on to the next stage of the happily ever after and build the farmhouse of our dreams.
As if that wasn't enough good news, our Spanish neighbours have gifted us the use of the old corral opposite the house we are renting at the moment, the space is approximately 12.5m x 12m and securely fenced and gated, they have said we can grow what we like and keep a few chickens in there. This is amazing for us as it means that we won't miss out on this year's growing season whilst we build the house and can get a head start on some of the plants we want on the land by using the corral as a mini nursery. I'm also planning to use it as somewhat of a playground to try out new methods and techniques and find what works best for plants and the soil out here.
So all in all I think Friday the 13th is our lucky day, I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!

Instagram is probably my favourite social media platform because it's one of the only predominantly visual platforms that allows users to get as creative as they want to be. In light of these thoughts, I've put together a post to show you guys some of my favourite accounts, the kind that get you scrolling back to 2016 without even realising that you've embarked on a major social media stalk.
1. @katiejanehughes
This lady is the walking definition of class. Katie is a MUA, based in NYC, and her account is my favourite makeup account on Instagram, without a doubt. She can do it all; trendy, classic, bold, subtle, colourful, natural – you name it. Her account is one of few makeup accounts that I really feel offers something different. She's a pure natural talent and I'm always anticipating her next post to see what magic she has conjured up.
2. @theellenextdoor
This is the kind of account that just makes you think – how? why? but? and leaves you feeling both extremely happy and sad at the same time (but all for good reason). Although this post isn't about my favourite blogs, I just want to say that Ellie's blog is one of my favourites – reading her blog feels as if she's sat with you having a cuppa. Her Instagram account is colourful enough to cheer anybody up, although warning – you will most likely end up with major style (and life) envy! I mean, just look at her…*sigh*.
3. @sophieinwonderlandxo
Sophie is one of my favourite beauty bloggers and my go-to place for beauty product reviews. When I'm scrolling through her feed, I'm thinking how does she compose so many elements in a photograph so well. With so much going on in every picture, her feed never gets boring (she has some of the best flat lay photography skills out there).
4. @hello_jodie
Hellooooooo Jodie. I love the minimalistic style of Jodie's Instagram with subtle pops of colour. I'm particularly loving the yellow at the moment as one of the predominant colours of spring. She also has absolute bedroom goals that's for sure.
5. @elliemartinn
When I think of Ellie, I think of blue skies, black clothes and denim – which happen to be three things I love. Not only is her feed aesthetically pleasing but she is all about spreading positivity and support amongst bloggers which is another reason why she has made my favourite accounts. Watch out for this blonde bombshell. Check out her blog here.
6. @cottoncrowd
Cotton Crowd is a jewellery brand run by Anjalee Peiris who is absolutely killing it! I love her colour palette and the fact she always finds a way to keep her posts exciting by mixing it up with product pictures alongside her own illustrations and inspirations. Not to mention she's also super gorgeous and gutsy for starting and running her own business.
7. @idabroen
A lady of very little words on Instagram but who needs a bio or long captions when the photos do all the talking?

A couple of years ago I stumbled across a beauty brand called Neals Yard Remedies. At first I was drawn in by the chic look of their products, and by how cute their little store in Cardiff's Morgan Arcade looks (see here).
Then, I found out that they were the UK's first, certified-organic natural health and beauty company and that drew me in further. I have an attitude to skincare that is very similar to my attitude to food, in that I always feel happier about using products made with natural ingredients, rather than filled with lots of chemicals and weird-sounding substances I can't pronounce.
Ethical credentials
Over time, I have learned more and more about the way NYR operate as a business, and it's all good news. They were the first ever health & beauty company to achieve 100/100 for ethics in an independent audit by The Ethical Company Organisation.
Committed to making beauty products with high quality organic, natural and plant-based ingredients, they source ingredients through ethical sourcing programmes, including the Fairtrade FoundatioNeal's Yard Remedies are passionate about the environment and actively support and promote organic farming. All ingredients are certified organic by leading bodies including the Soil Association. All products are made in Dorset, England.Believing in safe cosmetics, the company uses no parabens, synthetic fragrances, GMO ingredients, silicons or minerals among many others. They are against animal testing and do not test any of their products on animals, instead employ an independent company that uses human volunteers to trial new products.
The company's continued commitment to animal welfare has been recognised by campaigners from PETA, the RSPCA; Neal's Yard Remedies was awarded a golden rabbit by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection. They also support animal welfare charity FRAME, Traid, Friends of the Earth and The Samaritans.
Neal's Yard Remedies launched their Bee Lovely range in support of its Save The Bees campaign., along with their petition to ban deadly neonic pesticides. Throughout the campaign, the company raised over £45,000 which was donated to bee keeping and bee friendly initiatives all over the UK, helping to make a real difference in local communities.
On top of all of that, the products smell amazing, last for ages, and look dead swish in my bathroom!

Here is a tip for handling a scenario that is becoming increasingly common. More and more people are giving up their telephone land lines and using their mobile phones as their only phone.
Several Advantage reports include the Primary Phone. In order to be considered the Primary Phone, a phone number:
·Must be associated with the Primary Address, denoted by a green check mark in the Contact Profile's Addresses section.
·Must be entered as a Phone, not a Mobile Phone, in the Communication Option dialog.
Thus, for people who have only a mobile phone, no number is listed in some reports.
Enter the mobile phone number in the Phone field, not in the Mobile Phone field. You can update the Display Label field with the word "Mobile" or "Cell":

Creation Vs Cartoon Evolution - And The Winner Is…
From school age all the way through adulthood we are constantly hit with so many evolution "facts" and examples that our mind can't help, at the least, subconsciously take it in. It's so invasive that even our children's cartoons and Youtube shows talk about it often. The question is are we actively educating ourselves and then teaching our children the truth so that when they/we hear or see those things, we can immediately dismiss them as being totally false. Just like we immediately dismiss cartoons as not being real, nothing more than characters and stories simply made up by men and not real in the slightest. Today I'm excited to reignite your faith, share Biblical truths and real life examples that provide ourselves and children with much needed assurance that this world and everything in it was created by our heavenly Father!
Hello! My name is Xan Spencer, I grew up in Mississippi, and attended the University of Southern Mississippi and Middle Tennessee State University where I majored in business and entrepreneurship. My wife, Jenn, and I have been married for 12 years, and we have 2 children. Our son Cullen who is 7, and our daughter Maryn who is almost 3. We have also been active foster parents for 3.5 years. The last 12 years I've worked for myself, starting multiple businesses, of which 2 have been sold. I've been featured on MSN and MSN Money among other publications. Most importantly I love the Lord and for the last several years have studied Creation Science to strengthen my faith, share His Word with confidence, and to give myself the education necessary to equip my children with truth and confidence in His word and creation. I look forward to meeting you on March 12th at the TASC meeting!
So come on out at 7pm for a great witness for you and your children!

2. The nominees must have taken part in a paramount scope of adventures.
Anybody can nominate an entrant. Entrants can nominate themselves. Entrees must include a 200 to 250-word biography or will be disqualified.
Voting is conducted in early winter by past winners, the Circle of Chiefs, and leaders in outdoors media, government and industry, who vote anonymously, free of faction. The annual awards are announced in January.

BALTIMORE – Bitcoin blew by another milestone.
This morning, the world's first cryptocurrency hit a new record of $9,680.
It started off the year trading at just $997.
"I can't believe what happened," said a friend.
"I bought $1,000 worth in 2012. Bitcoin was trading at about $8 at the time. Then one of the big cryptocurrency exchanges, Mt. Gox, was hacked and almost $500 million worth of bitcoin was stolen. I got out.
"If I had just held onto my stake, it would have been worth more than $1.2 million today."

Lighter Than Air
You hear stories like that all the time now. They are bull market stories. The hero regrets having sold too early.
Later on come the bear market stories when he regrets having sold too late.
But let's enjoy the bull stories now… while we can.
The typical story has its hero… and its villain. The hero bought bitcoin when everyone told him not to. Now he's regarded as a genius. Even his father-in-law is asking his opinion on everything from politics to cocktail recipes.
Last week, the geniuses multiplied…
From what we can tell, bitcoin is headed to the moon. Or to Hell.
Weightless… frictionless… why not?
If it hit $9,000… why not $90,000… or even $900,000?
Bitcoin is a perfect "investment" for the fake-money era. Lighter than air. Not here; not there. Neither animal, vegetable, nor mineral.
Immaterial. Implausible. Imponderable. And immeasurable. There is nothing to hold it back.

Faked Earnings
Almost all assets are overpriced or fraudulent – usually both. Something was bound to soar to the top of this gassy heap. Why not bitcoin?
Stocks have been bid up to the sky by fake money from central banks.
Management teams took the Fed's super-low-interest-rate loans and pretended to be investors – buying back and canceling shares in the corporations they run to boost earnings per share.
Unbelievably, the only net buyer of U.S. stocks since 2009 has been corporations themselves!
Earnings were faked, too, using "non-GAAP" adjustments to make it look like they were more profitable than they really were.
The third quarter of this year may have set a new record. Of the 30 Dow companies, 14 reported "adjusted" earnings, rather than using the old-fashioned Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
And those 14 companies reported adjusted income 26% higher than the GAAP numbers would have shown.
One case, drug maker Merck, stands out. It took a loss of 2 cents a share and turned it into a profit of $1.11.
How did it do that?
We don't know exactly, but the usual magic depends on declaring certain expenses "one-time-only outlays that might give investors a misleading picture of the regular and usual earnings of the business."
That gets you through one year. Then, the following year, you find other mistakes that you swear you will not repeat.
Hocus-Pocus Accounting
In smaller companies – especially in the tech sector – the practice is even more extreme.
Twitter, for example, showed a loss of $21 million in the third quarter. But with a little hocus-pocus on the ledgers, it was able to turn that into non-GAAP earnings of $78 million.
Bitcoin is perfect for this kind of market. It doesn't have to deceive investors about its profits. It has none.
And, of course, the statistics and metrics we use to keep track of the economy have also been faked.
The feds claim full employment when there are more working-age men without jobs than ever before. Consumer price inflation is seriously miscalculated – as everyone who goes shopping knows.
We don't shop often. But the other day, we bought a pomegranate. It cost $2.50. The lady at the checkout was appalled. "Do you still want it?" she asked.
"Real" (inflation-adjusted) GDP is still rising modestly, but only if you adjust it by the fake inflation number. If you applied a more realistic figure, it would show the U.S. economy in recession for the last 10 years.

Real Deal
Meanwhile, the world's governments go further into debt on the fake premise that they will pay it back.
Bitcoin has no debt problem, either. Nor does it have any of the fake qualities of other investments. It is 100% real… or at least 100% not fake.
It has no sluggish, greedy management to mess up the company's business… no rising material costs to squeeze its margins… no wages to renegotiate… no bonuses to pay… none of the things that pinch profits.
And it doesn't have to tell lies. The truth is strange enough.
One new crypto "coin" was called UET. Its promoter explained the investment thesis as follows: "You're gonna give some random person on the internet your money."
UET stands for Useless Ethereum Token – a reference to the second-largest crypto asset by market value, Ethereum – and has a logo with someone giving you the middle finger.
Nevertheless, it still trades… for approximately nothing.
Here at the Diary, we've been skeptical of bitcoin… but ready to be impressed.
Our sons think it's the real deal – le dernier cri in money circles. They took some of the family money and invested it in cryptos in June. In less than five months, we're up more than 200%.
There's nothing like success to stop the learning process. You don't ask questions when prices are rising.
Still, we can't help but wonder. Maybe the mysterious creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, was a genius. But it's unlikely that there are so many others.
Market INSIGHT: BITCOIN SURGES HIGHER
By Chris Lowe, Editor at Large, Bonner & Partners
It's certainly been an extraordinary year for bitcoin.
As Bill mentioned above, the world's first cryptocurrency is up 870% year-to-date.
As you can see from today's chart, it hasn't been a smooth ride.
Between June 11 and July 16, bitcoin saw a drawdown – a peak-to-trough fall – of 35%.
This was driven by fears of the network splitting into bitcoin and a new competitor called Bitcoin Cash.
Between September 1 and September 14, bitcoin saw a drawdown of 32% after the Chinese government clamped down on cryptocurrency exchanges.
And between November 4 and November 12, bitcoin saw a drawdown of 23% on worries of another network split, known as SegWit2x.
But so far, the popular cryptocurrency has rebounded from each hurdle. It hit a new high of $9,680 today.
– Chris Lowe
Bitcoin Electricity Costs Soar
Bitcoin isn't created from thin air with a few keystrokes. New coins have to be "mined" by computers that solve complex cryptographic problems. And in 2017, the amount of power consumed by these miners is rivaling the consumption levels of some countries.
This Will Rewrite Medicine as We Know It
Bill's chief technology analyst, Jeff Brown, reveals a cutting-edge technology that will permanently cure countless diseases. Millions of lives will be saved. And early investors have a chance to profit immensely.
Why Wall Street Secretly Hates the GOP Tax Plan
The proposed tax overhaul being debated in Congress could be trouble for Wall Street. That's because the bill would drive up taxes for the wealthy hedge fund crowds in the Northeast. And that has some funds looking toward the exit.
In the mailbag, readers consider if Roy Moore should be a U.S. Senator…
If Roy Moore is guilty of child molestation or sexual misconduct, then by all means, he shouldn't be involved in public service anymore. If not, then the opposite is true.
I have noticed over the years that you always criticize our nation and our politicians. Rightfully so, in most instances. I do the same thing. The difference is that I care about the U.S.A., and Mr. Bonner seems to hate everything about it. He doesn't live here, but made a lot of money here.
It is a perversion of our Constitution to say that there is a "separation of church and state" mandate. A few years before I was born, that perversion came into existence via the ACLU.
Placing biblical references on public land is not a violation of the U.S. Constitution. To dictate to our citizens that they must be Christians would violate the intent of the Constitution.
As America continues to move toward implosion – more than likely inevitable – why do you seem to find it so delightful? I don't understand this. You have a bully pulpit. Why not try to be helpful rather than exploit it for the sake of being the "I-told-you-so jerk"? One reason I am so pessimistic about our future is wise people who just don't seem to care.
– Charles M.
I do enjoy your daily missives and bombasity. However, in your piece about Judge Roy Moore, did I sense you overlapping Judge Moore's lack of understanding about the "separation of church and state" with your more informed view?
I sense that I did. And I suspect that you, like so many others in our country today, have bought into the lie about what the historical meaning of the "separation of church and state" actually entails, as opposed to the more recent liberal and statist version we swallow today. Check it out. It might be good fodder for a future Diary.
Also, I submit to you that your critiques of Judge Moore's motives and reasoning surrounding the removal of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse and his desire to bring God's Word into the public square are an affront to God's Word in Scripture.
We live in a society and culture today that is hell-bent on removing the authority of God's Word in Scripture. And we wonder why we see such evil manifested all around us. Even among professing "Christians" today, we see the watering down of Biblical truth across the mantel of political correctness and inclusiveness. To what end?
– Stephen G.
Thank you for your brilliant and very entertaining Diary essay about Roy Moore. Excellent.
I'm not sure what I'd do if I lived in Alabama. I might wind up voting for Moore, although I do consider him another symptom of our collective political insanity. I think he is innocent of the recent charges against him, but I doubt that that is the most important issue. Your arguments are more germane. Cheers.
– Dave F.
We are on the verge of a revolution in healthcare…
That's the message from Bill's chief technology analyst Jeff Brown. A bleeding-edge piece of technology is about to turn a corner. When that happens, diseases like cystic fibrosis and Huntington's could be cured permanently. And early investors have the chance to make a fortune. Details here.

I was so confident with this next one that I thought I could make these blindfolded, but alas, this is the one that needed the most unpicking. I tried to get all the ducks up the same way, but it was not to be. Most of the ducks in the bottom left and bottom right petals are facing all sorts of directions!
I have saved the best til last: pink combined with green is my favourite combination!
I have absolutely NO IDEA where I am going to keep this huge quilt when it's finished, but I do know that I will definitely be keeping it.

I am finally dropping all other meats.
I am officially vegan.
I prefer calling it veganism not just because it's more succinct, but also because there is a level of adopting a more non-harm based lifestyle as an additional approach to my diet shift. If I am more compassionate in my food decisions, I might be more compassionate to myself which will help me through my journey. It's about making a mindset shift as much as it's for my health.
The additional health goals is to my lower cholesterol and hopefully gain some more energy on a totally plant-based diet. Since I've already reviewed all this stuff before in my other posts, I won't rehash old information.
The Plan for the Week
- Really work on taking my multivitamins. I have a regimen to help supplement my diet in case I have an off day, but vitamins are always difficult for me to remember to take.
- Make protein smoothies that I enjoy as a means to boost my daily protein intake. I have found that after longer runs I crave something high in protein. It will be a good means to replenish what my body needs.
- Work on compiling snacks to keep in my purse or in Jai's diaper bag for myself in case I get caught someplace where there are no food options. But also making sure I leave the house feeling full if I am not going someplace where I know they will have something I can eat.
The Social "What if's"?
- Eating in a restaurant: Find vegan options and sticking with them. If there aren't any, find a vegetarian that requires minimal adjustments.
- No food options in a restaurant or at a friend's house: Use snack packs I've already stashed in my purse or in Jai's diaper bag as a means to tide me over.
- "Why aren't you eating that?": I am trying to remove inflammatory foods from my diet as a means to help make me feel better.
I have some exciting updates on Wednesday. I had my annual appointment with my neurologist and my half-marathon results.

Boozer leads Bulls past Grizzlies 104-64
Carlos Boozer scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls easily won their home opener, pounding the Memphis Grizzlies 104-64 on Sunday night.
Derrick Rose finished with 16 points after a slow start. Ronnie Brewer scored 17 with Richard Hamilton a late scratch because of a groin injury. But with Boozer dominating, the Bulls simply put this one away early.
This game was so lopsided that fans started calling for backup Brian Scalabrine in the third quarter, with the outcome clearly in hand. It was, easily, the most dominant performance of the young season for a team with soaring expectations.
With their eyes on a championship, Bulls took three of four out West, beating Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in the opener and capping the trip with a victory over the Clippers.
Boozer led the way with 15 points and 11 rebounds as Chicago built a 54-28 halftime lead, scoring down low and hitting mid-range jumpers as if they were breakaway layups. He had 11 points during a 13-3 second-quarter run that bumped Chicago's lead to 48-27.
At 4-1, the Bulls are off to their best start since the 1996-97 team won its first 12, and they won this one easily even though Rose shot just 4 of 10 and Luol Deng finished with 11 points.
The only downer for Chicago was Hamilton getting scratched from the lineup and C.J. Watson leaving with a left elbow injury in the fourth quarter after a scramble for a loose ball with Josh Selby near midcourt.
They outrebounded the Grizzlies 55-40 and outshot them 46.4 percent to 31 percent.
It was simply a brutal night for Memphis, which got just five points from Rudy Gay. Zach Randolph bruised his right knee and scored only two points in 11 minutes.
Josh Davis and Sam Young were the only Grizzlies to score in double figures, with 10 points apiece. Jeremy Pargo, who grew up near Rose, hit just 2 of 13 shots and finished with four points filling in for Mike Conley.
Notes: Conley participated in the morning shootaround and did some pregame work. He said the ankle is improving, but he remains day to day. "I'm going to try to get some more rest for it and get it stronger with a couple of extra days of rehab before I get back on the court." ... Pargo, who is two years older than Rose, deflected questions about their matchup before the game, saying, "I'm excited to play with my teammates and do our best to get a win." ... The Bulls honored the late Maggie Daley with a moment of silence and video tribute before the game. The wife of former mayor Richard M. Daley, she died in November after a lengthy fight with breast cancer.

The Friday Leader
News from the Champaign County Farm Bureau
News for the Week Ending Friday, February 20, 2015
Visiting The Capitol
Above, Chris Murray, Joe Burke, Treasurer Mike Frerichs, Eric Suits and Jeff Fisher visit about upcoming bills and the proposed budget presented by Governor Rauner. Champaign County Farm Bureau was able to sit down with Representatives Chad Hays and Adam Brown, Senators Chapin Rose and Scott Bennett, Treasurer Mike Frerichs and Champaign County Farm Bureau's adopted Legislator, Greg Harris. This was a very rewarding event to be able and give these legislators our perspective and what we want to see as a farming organization.
This Week's Hot Topics
DEERE OUTLOOK - Deere anticipates a larger-than-expected fall in equipment sales for the fiscal year amid sluggish conditions in the farming sector. The firm says its aggressive cost cutting, its broad lineup of equipment and slamming the brakes on production should help it navigate through the current slump.
PORT STRIKE - Shipping executives and union leaders for dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports ended a third straight day of contract talks late on Thursday without a settlement, despite arm-twisting from the U.S. labor secretary, but planned to meet again on Friday.
ANTI-TRUST - Attorney General Lisa Madigan, with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 10 other states, is seeking to block Sysco Corporation's proposed $8.2 billion acquisition of its rival, the Rosemont-based US Foods Inc. They're worried about the impact of reduced competition for food distribution in Illinois and elsewhere.
MEDIA TRENDS – The New York Times is making a big shift to digital. Under the new system, each desk at The New York Times will pitch stories to be considered for "Dean's list," a list of stories that get "the very best play on all our digital platforms," including Web, mobile and social platforms – not print.
DIET PANEL: EAT 'GREEN' AND LIMIT MEATS– A panel of nutrition experts recruited to help craft the next set of U.S. dietary guidelines said Thursday that the government should consider the environment when deciding what people should eat. The panel said dietary cholesterol was no longer a big concern and scrapped guidance that Americans limit their cholesterol to no more than 300 milligrams a day. The panel said consuming three to five cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The panel also endorses a diet of eating more plant-based foods and limits the amount of meat.
FARMERS HAVE NEW INSURANCE OPTIONS – Farmers will see a few new options this year when making their crop-insurance decisions and will likely have to pay higher premiums, according to insurance representatives. Among the new options introduced this year as a result of the 2014 farm bill is a discount to make policies more affordable to those starting out, says Thad Stauffer, 1st Farm Credit Services crop-insurance product manager. Another new crop insurance option concerns farmers using irrigation. A new provision allows farmers to get different rates of insurance for irrigated and non-irrigated land.
U.S. SUES SYSCO TO STOP MERGER PLAN– A divided Federal Trade Commission sued Thursday to block Sysco Corp.'s acquisition of rival US Foods Inc., a long-awaited move that sets the stage for a major court battle over a plan to combine the nation's two largest food distributors. The FTC alleged the proposal would create a dominate national company which could raises prices for restaurants and schools.
BEEF EXPO UNDER WAY AT STATE FAIRGROUNDS – The 2015 Illinois Beef Expo is under way at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The annual event, which runs through Sunday, includes a performance tested bull sale and 75 indoor and outdoor vendors.
CLEAN JOBS BILL PROPOSES BUMP IN RENEWABLE ENERGY PURCHASE– Lawmakers want to increase the share of clean energy consumed in Illinois with a bill they say will bring jobs to the state. A bill, announced Thursday, creates new standards for Illinois utilities to use efficiency measures to reduce electricity demand 20 percent by 2025. It also sets a higher figure for renewable energy purchased by updating the state's regulation for the production of energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar and biodiesel.

Sheet metal forming
Laser beam cut and bent parts are basic elements for the production of welded components . Further development of materials to higher strength and the systematic use of FEM calculation creates more and more complicated geometries.
Highly skilled welders, instructed by experienced welding engineers, ensure the completion of the welded components in correspondence with the drawings.
Modern welding tables and welding jigs facilitate the production of welded components made of steel, stainless steel and aluminium and enable efficient production.
We have a wide range of computer controlled lathes, milling and grinding machines available for machining of components and single parts.
We use an all-purpose machining centre type PowerSpeed 5 for bigger components.
Paint coating
We provide a lot of products ready for use or for further assembly. This of course includes an appropriate paint coating. To fulfil this in a better way, we started a partnership with a company which has a leadership role in corrosion protection. The experienced staff of the Krebs Group offers its service in plant 1 of the Hennigsdorfer Stahl Engineering GmbH.
Parts and components are assembled with electric, pneumatic and hydraulic units to generate complete modules/systems. Tests and measurements are carried out according to customer's demand and documented in a certificate 3.1 according to DIN EN 10204.
Adhesive bonding

Rejoice! HE IS RISEN!
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On behalf of Father Chris, Father Jim, Father Thaddeus, Deacon Manuel, Seminarian Eman, our entire Parish and School Staff, the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and myself, I wish you and your families a joyous and faith filled Easter Season. May the glory of the Risen Christ lift up our hearts.
We congratulate and welcome all the adults, youth and children who are receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist in this holy season.
We are deeply grateful for those parish staff members and volunteers who work so hard in sacramental preparation. We thank Father Chris and the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) team, Deacon Manuel, Maria Montoya and Edgar from the Spanish RICA, Stephanie Ramos and the Religious Education team, Sister Miriam Mark and the school First Communion Team, Pearl Romero and the Children's Initiation team, Leticia Saucedo and the youth Confirmation team, and Carolyn Guzman, Deacon Manuel and Mrs. Luz Chavez, who prepare and celebrate our infant baptisms all year round.
We are very grateful to all those who work so hard to make our parish liturgies beautiful. We thank our Altar Servers, Sacristans, Lectors, Ushers, Eucharistic Ministers, Cantors, Musicians and Choirs, as well as our Liturgy Committee chaired by John Hammerbacher and our Liturgical Environment Committee led by Karen Keller assisted by Maria Luisa Medina.
Finally, we thank all those who contribute toward the beautiful flowers in our church this season, and we remember their deceased loved ones in a special way.
As those early disciples rushed to the empty tomb, may we hurry to be witness to the Good News that Jesus lives among us and within us.
Father Austin Doran

I've officially lived in Zurich for over 2 months. Here are 3 reasons I love it:
1. Public Transportation
My friend Bill is committed to environmental sustainability in ways that astound me. He's devoted himself to permaculture reforestation of the planet and built WeForest, an international not-for-profit organization combating global warming. He walks his talk and so also does not travel by plane. For this year's TED he's traveling all the way to the US by container ship. Amazing.
Bill's commitment inspires me to do what I can to make my life more environmentally sustainable; I've sold my car and am living solely on public transport. This wouldn't work in many places, but in Zurich it's easy, fast and phenomenally affordable. Buses, trams and trains interconnect and the schedules are online. From my house I can be in the airport in 33 minutes. Imagine: no insurance, no gas costs, no maintenance… I love it!
2. History
From the Landesmuseum's digital displays of human migrations over thousands of years to Marc Chagall's windows in the Fraumunster, to the slightly cheesy décor in the Zeughauskeller restaurant, I've enjoyed living with the old and new side by side.
3. Vibrance
I have gone out and done fun things more in the last month than in the previous four years in Lugano. It's such a joy to be a part of the quiet vibrance that is Zurich — it's not New York or even Boston, and I am glad for that. There is a pulse, an excitement, opportunities and possibilities here that are palpable, though. Asian & Vegetarian restaurants (we didn't have those in Lugano), Christmas markets, dancing, movies in English… I love it!

VSIMH has a new Homeboy
Many of you who come to this blog probably check Vin Scully is My Homeboy… and if you're like me … you check it several times a day… sometimes even several times an hour!
A few months ago, VSiMH announced they were expecting (well, his wife was expecting) and at first they were told they were going to have a little homegirl. Then they were told they were going to have a little homeboy.
He announced on Monday that their little homeboy has arrived!
Congratulations to VSiMH and Mrs. VSiMH. I actually do know their names but I will keep that to myself. If you know them, then you know who I'm talking about. I look forward to meeting the little homie. He looks adorable already!
Looks like I won't be the only one blogging at crazy hours of the night anymore.

I would follow the 3 month guideline... aka.. only tell people after 3 months.
You'll have the next 8 months to be working, if you start right away, and if it hadn't taken several months to apply for this position you'd already be working.
Will they be annoyed? Probably. They'd also be annoyed if you got in a car accident and were in hospital for 2 months, and had to deal with surgeries and pain meds. Ditto if 6 months in you got headhunted. You can't live your life not doing anything that might annoy another person or company. Our personal lives are our own durn business. Would you never get in a car, because of the likelyhood that it would annoy your company if you got injured? Would you turn down a better job, because you'd only just come on board with this company? You're an adult woman, who they have to assume is having sex, and who may be planning on having (or already have) a family. It's your personal life, and they're not allowed to ask you about it in the interview process (by law, although we frequently volunteer personal info), because no company is one's lord and master. It's your life. LIVE it as you choose to.
I like Hepburn's Mom's advice "You can't make eveyone happy no matter what you do, so always make sure that YOU'RE happy. At least that way one person is."
Now, if you're interviewing with Doctor's without Borders, or a Security (mercenary) Company, then it might be wise to beg out... but otherwise... do what's best for YOU. Trust me, any company is more than willing and able to look after themselves.

The 34-year-old Melo will be playing in his 16th NBA season, and despite being part of three teams (Nuggets, Knicks, Thunder), he has never won a Championship.
Projections are mixed as to whether he will help Houston's trophy race or hinder it. One analysis can be found in the tweet below, and it isn't flattering to Anthony or his role with the Rockets.
If Carmelo Anthony signs with the Rockets, @SportsLine projections DECREASE Houston's championship chances from 4.8% to 3.9%. pic.twitter.com/srTl18ZJ8M— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) July 23, 2018
#Rockets believe Mike D'Antoni will extract every ounce of #Carmelo's remaining offensive arsenal - trail 3s, catch-and-shoot, small ball 4 pop man for CP/Harden - maybe more imp, HOU also believes Melo has evolved from his Knicks' days and in turn, will embrace his newfound role https://t.co/w7i1u6kW8p— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 23, 2018
The Rockets went to the Western Conference Finals last season and were upended by the Warriors. Melo will be back with Coach Mike D'Dantoni with whom he clashed when both were with the Knicks.
My guess is that Carmelo will see how things go in Houston and decide his next step at the end of this upcoming season. Feel free to visit the Twitter poll below to give your thoughts on Melo-to-Houston.

The snow level is dropping,
threatening to swoop down to the ground.
The biting air today feels like snow.
Hats, gloves, scarves are coming out of storage.
Life has moved indoors for a while.
Every season does this little tease.
She runs on stage and waves to us,
we point and titter and giggle,
and then she quickly scampers behind the curtains
until her appointed appearance in the act.
That's a good thing.
Because autumn is my favorite season.
I'm not quite ready for her to take her leaf.
~ ~ ~
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose;

You mentioned Scalzi Park in your Twitter. It's in Stamford Ct, which is where I grew up. Drove by it many times before moving to the UK.
I am in Connecticut because we live here! It's a beautiful weekend to be in New England! Have a lovely time. Someday we will coordinate an effort to meet.. A photo of 2 John Scalzis surely would be epic!
Welcome to the Nutmeg state. Sadly it kind of sucks to live here :)
Will be passing through Ivoryton. Is the wedding around there? Are you staying at the Cppper Beech In?
Welcome! You should stay and visit for a few days! At least go to the Mark Twain House in Hartford. You picked a lovely weekend
Enjoy the celebration! A wedding is an auspicious occasion, and I hope that the festivities are suitably joyful. Best wishes to the newlyweds for a long and happy marriage!
Hey *I* am in Connecticut. Pretty sure we won't be running into each other. It's not as small as it looks on a map!
I am in Connecticut. (Cheshire, specifically.)
CT has its faults and problems, but the extreme weather is not particularly extreme. Which is good.
I am in CT, too, because I live here. Maybe we need a CT meetup?

Changing Lives
Author(s): Janice Marriott & Virginia Pawsey
Friends since high school, Janice Marriott and Virginia Pawsey reconnected after 30 years and, shortly afterwards, began writing to each other about their respective lives, publishing Common Ground and Common Table together.
Their last book, 2013's Common Lives, an illustrated compendium of the best of their letters, closed with the two friends assuring each other that they could never leave their homes and lifestyles. Shortly after publication, however, each of them, unpredictably and somewhat radically, changed their lifestyle. Janice became a grandmother and shifted from Wellington to Auckland to be closer to her family, and Virginia and her husband sold the family farm and built a new house on a smaller property closer to town.
Changing Lives picks up their stories where they left off. How did their lives change so dramatically, and how has this affected them both personally and philosophically? And what about their gardens and kitchens?
Product Information
Janice Marriot is an award-winning author who divides her time between looking after her grandson, writing columns and poetry, and mentoring and tutoring people who are starting out in the writing business. Since moving from Double Tops, Virginia Pawsey and husband Harry have bought a 300 acre farm that Harry refers to as his 'lifestyle block'. They have built a new house on a hillside paddock where Virginia is developing a garden. In her spare time she is perfecting the arts of sourdough bread and chocolate making. Both of them have been monthly columnists for NZ House & Garden magazine for five years.

Here is Gay with horse expert Tom O'Carroll with our team of white Percheron geldings – Barnum and Bailey.
They stand at about 18 hands and weigh about 2,000 pounds each. We have had Percheron's for almost ten years. This is our fourth team (which is another long story). We purchased these horses through a broker we know in Rhode Island and brought them to Texas. They are about 9 years old and as sweet as they can be.

352 Stephen Street, Morden, Manitoba, R6M, Canada
Old Customs BuildingOld Post OfficeMorden Dominion Post OfficePembina Hills Arts Council & GalleryAncien bureau de douaneAncien bureau de posteConseil des arts et musée des beaux-arts Pembina Hills
1913/01/01 to 1915/12/31
The Morden Dominion Post Office, a two-storey red brick building constructed in 1913-15, is located in Morden's historic downtown. With its lofty clock tower rising above many of the surrounding commercial and institutional buildings, the structure is now occupied by the Pembina Hills Arts Council and Gallery. The municipal designation applies to the post office and the lot upon which it sits.
The Morden Dominion Post Office recalls the image of progress, prosperity and stability the federal government instilled in the buildings it constructed in select rural towns around the turn of the twentieth century. The landmark structure, with its sturdy red brick walls, mansard roofs pierced with dormers and tall corner clock tower, displays the eclectic style and standardized elements and massing then used by government architects to establish a consistent identity for federal buildings. As with others of its type, the Morden facility housed a number of functions, including the post office on the main floor and customs and inland revenue offices on the second, making it one of the busiest destinations in town. The structure is also noted for its hand-wound public clocks, believed to be among the last that remain in Manitoba.
Source: Town of Morden By-law No. 15-88, June 14, 1988
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Morden Dominion Post Office site include:
- the prominent location at the southwest corner of Stephen and 8th streets in Morden's downtown, surrounded by commercial and institutional buildings of the same or later vintage
- the small courtyard to the south of the building bordered by lofty spruce trees
Key elements that define the post office's eclectic exterior style, characteristic of federal government buildings from the early 1900s, include:
- the solid, sturdy facades of red brick, with the exposed portion of the foundation faced in rough limestone and metal-clad mansard roofs punctuated by hipped-roof wall dormers
- the prominent, slightly projecting clock tower in the northeast corner, four-plus storeys in height, with a pyramidal metal roof topped by a finial at its peak, stained-glass clock faces adorning each of the four sides beneath round-coved mouldings and sets of three windows below
- the variety of openings throughout, with the second level featuring tall, rectangular windows capped with dormers and the main floor featuring larger, rectangular windows with continuous brick voussoirs, limestone sills and lintels and segmental-arched transoms
- two prominent front entrances, each abutting the sidewalk with large, heavy limestone stairs and railings, with the inset double doors in brick surrounds topped by round-arched transoms with limestone keystones and brick voussoirs
- the details, including a prominent front pedimented wall dormer above a pair of windows, a notable bank of three windows on the front facade, etc.
Key elements that define the post office's internal details and finishes include:
- the formal plan, set within a rectangular form, with a slightly inset, narrower rear section
- the west entrance vestibule providing access to the spaces of the main floor through double doors and to the staircase leading to the second floor
- the intact wooden staircase with a carved balustrade on the landing area of the second floor
- the intact second-floor configuration with many doors featuring transoms, original hardware and mouldings
- the clock tower with the original bell and mechanisms, including the weights
- the details, including the original wooden plank flooring and decorative black and white tiles on the main floor, some battleship linoleum on the second floor, etc.
