Catalonia, rich and full?
4 min. Traduccions: Cat Eng
Indicators such as per capita GDP or exports describe Catalonia as a wealthy nation, particularly within Spain, and among the wealthiest in Europe. Consequently, our complaints about the fiscal deficit are seen as selfish and non-solidary, both in Spain and in Europe. This changes dramatically, however, if we look at more solid indicators instead of using GDP —a measurement so crude that last year it grew by including prostitution. One example would be the regional index of social development that the EU just published, which places Catalonia at the lower end for Spain and Europe, trailing behind Aragon, La Rioja, Navarre, the Basque Country, Madrid, Asturias, and Castilla y León.
To create this index, three main factors are considered: coverage of basic needs, the bases of social welfare, and opportunities for personal development. Basic needs include: nutrition, healthcare, housing, safety, water, and waste disposal. The bases of social welfare are: education, health care, information, communication, and the environment. And opportunities for development include: individual rights, freedom of choice, tolerance, inclusion, and higher education. Not surprisingly, this is a set of factors that correlates closely with the amount and focus of public spending.
Catalonia's low level ranking in social development is explained by the fact that it is the third highest contributing region of tax revenue to Spain's coffers, after Madrid and the Balearic Islands, but it ranks tenth on funding received. And when you consider that the low resources we receive have to cover the much higher cost of living in Catalonia (+8.5%), this explains things even better, and makes it easier to understand why Catalan claims have more support among workers and small businesses that among the upper classes.
After all, the groups that pay more taxes and, thus, make greater tax transfers are professional people and employees, via income tax and VAT, and small-business owners, via business taxes. In contrast, large companies and the very wealthy contribute much less in relative terms, nor do they see their personal possibilities for development affected by the shortage of public funding. The clearest example is that of social security, fed by the social contributions from workers, with a cap for salaries higher than 35,000 euros; that is, as happens with union emergency funds, some workers support others while the capital looks on; even worse: it administers it.
Unsurprisingly, the most mature fiscal transfer mechanism in the EU --as a study for possible implementation-- is the unemployment benefit. A kind of insurance for countries with higher unemployment, which is paid for by workers from countries with less. Solidarity between workers that could easily end up in hostility if it's thought that the unemployed here or there were jobless by choice. On the other hand, ending tax evasion by multinational companies isn't even up for discussion, nor is levying a tax on large personal fortunes, using the proceeds to put into action a real investment plan to end unemployment and accelerate an energy transition.
Back in Catalonia, the upper classes don't care at all about the fiscal deficit, and it's alright with them if the Catalan trade surplus with Spain is more than offset by the fiscal deficit that Spain doesn't pay, regardless of the fact that they are two very different magnitudes and that Catalonia ends up with a social development index much lower than regions that receive money from the aforementioned fiscal deficit.
Colonies are also often net exporters and end up with a respectable GDP, although it is the occupying nation that benefits. Unfortunately, Spain does not disclose data that would allow us to ascertain our national income --what part of this GDP belongs to us--, but in any case we know that Catalonia's GDP is reduced by 8% due to the fiscal deficit; a reduction, however, that the EU doesn't take into account when distributing structural funds based on … GDP. Hopefully, then, the elaboration of this new regional index of social development will serve to modify this distribution criteria, and provide food for thought to the people who still do not understand why Catalonia is packing up and moving out.

Commentary | Jim Watkins
I made the comment about the rioters that they should just let it burn. I meant it figuratively.
For three months many Americans have been told to stay indoors, they have been told they have no job, no vacations or trips to the zoo or park. Stay home. Death is outside your door.
And then, right at about the same time the figures starting showing that COVID-19 was not exploding anywhere else but New York and the Tri-State area, a viral video caught the attention of the mainstream news media. And they ran with it.
Nothing drives news like a clean video of a black guy being beaten by police officers, and watching (playing) the video over and over, on top of the fact that we have all been caged up what is starting to look like for no good reason AND I have no job to go back to, makes me furious. Just like it has made millions of people furious.
The video was the last straw.
Then, mysterious groups jumped in and added more chaos to the protests, the people throwing molotov cocktail bombs and breaking into business want anarchy; they want to tear down institutions because it's the only cause they can find. Nothing like an angst twenty-something with no life plan playing with fire.
There are other forces of course, the media whores like Rachel Maddoux, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and Wolf, and that is what they are, whores who have prostituted real news to the level slightly below the National Enquirer. It stopped being about the truth a long time ago.
And then there are the politicians like Kamala Harris, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters and a few mayors who love to throw the word 'white supremacy' around to stir things up. All of these people could care less if America burns. It was never their country to love; it was always a playground to push whatever agenda made them feel superior, as long as it was against tradition, which they despise.
I've lived through enough riots to know they come and they go. They let off steam because they are a reaction by a segment of people who believe they are stuck – and they are – stuck by an imperfect system that doesn't allow for much error.
But we built this system through the leaders we voted in. If the system isn't working, the people who make and pass the laws need to re-examine them. This is how we perfect the system as it goes along. Our system is built upon trial and error. Evolution periodically changed by revolution.
We also need to remember that what happen to George Floyd is the exception, though the frequency of seeing the video might convince you otherwise. Thousands of people break the law every single day, and 99% of the arrests go pretty smoothly. But no two are the same and an overzealous or insensitive law enforcement officer must self-check.
Even law enforcement agrees with the protestors, George Floyd died tragically and unnecessarily. But we are a nation of laws, and we have to allow that process to play itself out. That is why we are the greatest country on earth, because no one is supposed to be above the law.
When the coronavirus hit, it blew me away. I was and am still sometimes overwhelmed by what happened on a global scale, and most of us don't realize it is still far from over. Our economy, according to Forbes, will take a decade to rebuild. Let that sink in.
But how quickly everything switched to George Floyd. In a matter of hours we went from a global pandemic that stopped a global economy in its tracks, and to riots in the streets because I Can't Breathe.
Just like that.
So yes, I am little hesitant to get all up in arms about the riots. They will pass. And the reason they will pass is because something else will come along to distract us. The media, once they sense low ratings, shifts and finds the next big event to get people riled up about.
Or as Malcolm McLuhen stated in 1954, "the nature of a medium, the channel through which a message is transmitted, is more important than the meaning or content of the message."
The riots therefore, are just a prop; the real story is the way the media has turned Americans, albeit temporarily, against each other with one well-orchestrated stroke, which shows how effective today's media has become.
And that should worry everyone.

The delivery ceremony took place yesterday in Maputo, the capital of the African country. Tropical storm Idai is the worst natural disaster to hit the region in 30 years with 518 deaths, 1,522 wounded and 135,000 displaced in Mozambique alone. In the past ten years, Vietnam has sent about US$ 600 million to Mozambique.
Hanoi (AsiaNews/Agencies) – The Central Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) and the Vietnamese community in Mozambique have delivered some 20 tonnes of food to the victims of tropical storm Idai, which devastated the African country's central region in mid-March.
During the handover ceremony (pictured) in Mozambique's capital Maputo Monday, Superior Monk Thich Dong Hue, member of the Executive Council of the VBS Central Committee and head of the Vietnam Buddhist Association (VBA), expressed hope that local authorities and people will soon overcome the consequences of the storm.
Casimiro Abreu, Acting Director of Mozambique's National Institute of Natural Disaster Management, praised Vietnamese Buddhists for their solidarity and thanked the government and people of Vietnam for their valuable spiritual and material support.
Movitel, a joint venture between Vietnamese telecommunications group Viettel and Mozambique investment company SPI, recently brought in 50 tonnes of food to Sofala province, the hardest hit by the storm.
The company also dealt with the restoration of the information system and provided relief in many places in the country.
Tropical Storm Idai was the worst natural disaster to hit the region in the past 30 years, killing some 790 people and affecting the lives of nearly three million others.
In Mozambique alone, it left at least 518 people dead, 1,522 injured and 135,000 homeless, destroying 3,318 schools.
Many areas around Beira city and the central region of Mozambique are still facing flooding, power cuts, food and water shortage as well as the risk of disease outbreaks.
Although some 9.500 km separate the two countries, they have close trading relations. Last January, Vietnam's ambassador to Mozambique, Hu Huang, said that the African country received about US$ 600 million from the Vietnamese government in the last ten years, especially in the transport and communications sectors.
In October 2017, the VBS Central Committee held a grand ceremony in Maputo, to raise awareness about the VBA and launch a plan to establish a Vietnamese Buddhist centre in Mozambique, the first of its kind in Africa.

Man remains in custody over Taverham assault
PUBLISHED: 16:26 01 April 2019 | UPDATED: 16:26 01 April 2019
Archant Norfolk 2010
A man suspected of a serious assault in Taverham remains in custody after his arrest at the weekend.
Officers were called to an address in the area of Taverham Road and Penn Road after neighbours raised concerns about a man's safety at around 4.45pm.
Upon arrival they found a man in his early 40s with serious injuries to his leg which required treatment via the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
A man in his late 30s and from the Norwich area, has been arrested in connection with the assault and taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre.
He remains in custody being questioned today.
Superintendent Roger Wiltshire said: "Initial investigations have led us to believe that those involved are known to each other and we are not looking for anyone else in relation to the assault.
"Officers remain in the local area making further enquiries and speaking to local residents."
Anyone with information regarding the incident are asked to contact Norwich CID on 101, quoting CAD 295 of 31 March 2019, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Journalist Richard Lewis penned a report for Dexerto about Rick Fox parting ways from the Echo Fox e-sports organization after one of the shareholders sent multiple e-mail messages using racial epithets about Rick Fox and former Echo Fox CEO, Jace Hall. Echo Fox has teams across a wide number of games, including Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Tekken, Dragon Ball and League of Legends. However, the news is being censored on the League of Legends sub-reddit in order to suppress any mention of Richard Lewis or Dexerto.
It started with a tweet from Lewis, who informed the e-sports community at large about his report on Dexerto, which detailed how Rick Fox was selling his shares and stepping away from the Echo Fox brand due to another shareholder there using racial epithets.
This story is as crazy as it is disgusting… My first for Dexerto. Rick Fox set to leave Echo Fox following racial abuse from shareholder.https://t.co/jf8tkUsEaI
— Richard Lewis (@RLewisReports) April 25, 2019
Over on Dexerto they shared Fox's e-mail from April 19th, 2019, where he wrote…
"This is an official notification of my intention to exit the Echo Fox organization as a shareholder and participant as soon as I am able to facilitate a transaction to do so. The recent outrageous and abhorrent display of pure racism made by a significant Echo Fox shareholder as well as threats to my family have made it impossible for me to continue to remain associated with the company.
"I will not support or be associated with such behaviour and attitudes displayed at the shareholder level. Racism is an anathema to what my personal brand strives for and tolerating any form of discrimination such as this is not acceptable.
"This notification serves as the beginning process of exiting the company. I will be contacting all relevant and interested people. My position in the GP and the entity that owns my shares are available. Depending on the proposal there are different ways to structure a deal, acquire my entity, swap positions, etc. Interested parties can contact me. I'm moving on the first deal that sits well."
The racial epithets were aimed at both Rick Fox and Jace Hall, and so Fox decided to pack up his bags from Echo Fox.
The article was also later updated with a statement from Echo Fox management, who acknowledged that the shareholder had been using racially charged language against Rick Fox and Jace Hall, with the statement reading…
"There have been incidents in recent weeks in which a limited partner of the Echo Fox organization, who is not an employee, officer or director of Echo Fox, used a racial epithet towards individuals both verbally and via email. One such incident was detailed in media accounts today. And although that incident was not directed towards an employee, officer, member or shareholder of Echo Fox, racial intolerance connected to Echo Fox is entirely unacceptable. There have been other reported incidents where the shareholder in question used this same vile language towards Rick Fox personally. These incidents are especially significant for us as Echo Fox boasts an unparalleled level of diversity in its principal ownership group, management, leadership and player base. Upon being made aware of the incidents, the Company has made various demands to the offending investor, including the investor's disassociation from the company and we are continuing to work diligently towards this end."
The news initially was posted over on the League of Legends sub-reddit since there is a League of Legends team part of the Echo Fox organization. However, the moderators had all the links removed. So the only way to post up about the news was to mention in brief that Rick Fox was leaving over a racist shareholder.
Richard Lewis points out that due to the moderator corruption from the League of Legends sub-reddit, they're removing and deleting any mention of his name in association with the story. This dates back to a longstanding history of enmity between Lewis and the moderators being at odds with one another, which was detailed in a video from back in April of 2015.
For years the mods at r/leagueoflegends have lied about deleting my name from the subreddit. Here's proof for you guys that they do it. Meanwhile @reddit completely condone volunteers on their site stealing my work and denying me and the publishers credit. Disgusting. pic.twitter.com/gP14Wieu0o
— Richard Lewis (@RLewisReports) April 25, 2019
It's true. All discussion about the Dexerto article or Richard Lewis is being censored and removed from the sub-reddit.
If you visit the Removeddit link you'll find that in the initial post 44% of the comments were removed, namely anything mentioning the Dexerto report, Richard Lewis' name, or the censorship being carried out by the moderators.
They did, however, allow users to post links to tweets from the League of Legends LCS Commissioner, Chris Greeley, who acknowledged Lewis' report on Dexerto, and stated that they would be launching a full investigation into the allegations.
We have launched an investigation into the allegations and will respond accordingly, based on available actions within our team agreements and the LCS Rules. -Chris Greeley, LCS Commissioner (2/2)
— lolesports (@lolesports) April 26, 2019
However, once again if you head to Removeddit.com, you'll see that they removed 33.3% of the comments from the thread, ensuring that anyone who mentions Richard Lewis, the website link, or the censorship being carried out by the moderators.
People genuinely confused about the out-of-context tweets asking about more information or links are also being censored.
This is all part of the continued efforts from Social Justice Warriors to stifle and reshape the news by utilizing information control to prevent certain people or sources from spreading through certain social media portals.
(Thanks for the news tip Blaugast)

|My project of Parkerizing a Walther PPK/S
Parkerizing or Phosphating is a Metal Finish that really gained
popularity when the US Government was looking to replace the typical blued
finish on most small arms with a Rust Resistant and Anti Reflective Finish
that would be both Durable and Abrasion Resistant and hold up in all weather
extremes, for this they chose Parkerizing or Phosphating.
The standard Grey Oxide Parkerizing may range from light grey to a darker
grey depending on the type and hardness of the metal it is being applied to,
whereas the Black Manganese Parkerizing will usually always be in the
Charcoal Black category.
Actually the only equipment required is a Stainless Steel Tank or Pot and a Heat source and a Thermometer.
My poor rusty Walther PPK that has been neglected. (not by me) Fresh out of the bead blaster and ready to de-grease.

Salmon and Pea Tagliatelle
Salmon tagliatelle is quick, easy and tasty!
- 350 g dried tagliatelle organic
- 200 g frozen peas organic
- 500 g salmon fillets MSC certified, about 125g per person
- 1 lemons organic, fairtrade, juice & zest of
- 20 g fresh parsley organic, leaves only, chopped
- 120 g low fat creme fraiche organic
- 1 dash black pepper organic, fairtrade, freshly ground
- Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the pasta as per the packet instructions. Add the peas for the last 3 minutes, then drain and return everything to the pan.
- Place the salmon pieces in a large frying pan, cover with boiling water, place a lid on the top and simmer for 5 minutes until they are cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the pan, keeping back a little of the water. Flake the fish into a bowl, leaving behind the skin. Stir in the lemon juice, zest and parsley.
- Over a low heat, stir the salmon and the creme fraiche into the tagliatelle and peas. Add a little of the water to loosen it if necessary.
- Serve immediately with some freshly ground black pepper sprinkled over the top.
In a hurry or not all eating together? This dish is very quick to prepare. If you know you are going to be pushed for time, you could use fresh tagliatelle instead which has a much shorter cooking time. The salmon can be cooked in advance, mixed with the lemon juice and parsley and kept in the fridge.

It seems that in March infrastructure guys conquered our top. Thank you, guys, for always paying attention to all your phone and mail alerts and for placing Windows Server medium quiz and Linux medium quiz on the 1st and 5th place, respectively. We promise we won't forget about July 29, your special SysAdmin Appreciation Day. 🙂
Second place goes to SQL. No surprise here. SQL is everywhere around us and everyone who works in a digital business should learn it. Why? Because SQL makes you a creator, not a consumer. Pretty cool, right?
And if in February the general IT knowledge quiz was on the 1st place, in March this test seems to have lost some ground and come down on 3rd place. We really recommend it because it takes you on a wonderful journey on how tech has changed our world.
PHP 5.6 is among the latest stable releases in the PHP family but on the 4th place in our popularity top. We know that PHP 7.0 is up and running and we can't wait to see the community's reactions.
See you soon on ITtestsOnline.com! Dare to imagine something new and do not forget that the right apps can make the difference. We have the power to change the world we live in or at least to improve it. Have you heard about our #codeforlife 48-hour online hackathon? If not, read about it here and remember: this is only the 1st episode.

Crunchfish has recruited the very talented Jonathan Astermark, who recently graduated from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University with an M.Sc. in Engineering Physics. Jonathan Astermark is specialised in machine learning and mathematics and he is thus extending the company's team of experts in machine learning, computer vision and augmented reality. We would like to welcome Jonathan to the Crunchfish team, and we have also taken the chance to ask Jonathan some questions!
Jonathan, how did the interest in mathematics and physics grow on you?
I was born with an interest in science. Already from a young age, I knew that the field of science was the right path for me. The interest in mathematics grew in elementary school, and it blossomed during high school. I want to understand the logics between how things are connected and the deeper I need to dig to understand the basics, the more interesting I find it to be.
You're a master's graduate in engineering physics, what's your field of knowledge?
My specialities are machine learning and mathematics. My master's thesis focused on using pre-trained Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to produce synthetic images of faces and using them to train detectors based on Haar-like features. Basically, I was experimenting with new methods to replace real images with synthetic images and use the synthetic images to improve the models for detection. There are similarities to Crunchfish's technology, which is using trained neural nets to detect hands and hand gestures.
What are you going to be working with at Crunchfish?
I have been eager to start looking into Crunchfish's gesture engine. Currently, I'm working with Anders (Henrysson, Senior Research Engineer) with training of new networks. It's very important to choose data that resembles the reality. Everything from environment, light etc. impacts the images, and I'm currently involved in optimising the architecture for the networks, and thus shortening the time for execution as well as improving the performance. So far, I have found it challenging, and thus entertaining, working with Crunchfish's technology.
What do you enjoy doing on your spare time?
During my years at university, I was involved in Kristianstad's Nation and e.g. the association's spex and I am still to this date an elected Senior in the association. Further, I enjoy hanging out with my friends at the Nation and stream various series. I also like playing strategy games such as Civilization and Hearthstone.
If you're looking for your next step in the career and thinking about becoming an employee at Crunchfish, please see our Career page! We are currently looking for a Senior Developer in Machine Learning.

Some pretty big names in the IT and telecom channels made waves with changes last month.
Some, like ShoreTel, made changes to existing programs. Other channel newbies entered the indirect sales space with a formal partner program for the first time. Master agent/distributors made new deals that impact partners, and a telco giant honored one partner with $1 million.
Whether a new partner program, enhancements to an existing one, or partnerships that provide solution providers with more options, knowing these changes could improve your business (read: make you more money). Familiar names such as CenturyLink, WTG, NTT America and X4 Solutions are all represented here.
Cloud. Security. Analytics. Business processes. This one-stop slide show features all of those topics and more.
Missed January's big channel changes? Find those here.
Follow senior online managing editor Craig Galbraith on Twitter.
Master agent Intelisys became the latest recipient of CenturyLink's Million-Dollar Reward for sales growth. The telco giant's biggest incentive, the Million-Dollar Reward recognizes any partner that grew its business with CenturyLink by $2 million in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) between 2010 and the end of 2015.
See the other partner companies CenturyLink honored here.
IP phone system and UC vendor ShoreTel debuted TechConnect, a new global technology and developer partner program to extend capabilities beyond its current product portfolio. Building on the foundation of its Innovation Network, which has more than 1,500 developers and 110 technology partners, ShoreTel has renamed and expanded the program.
Get the full scoop on ShoreTel's changes here.
The Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program added WTG and Cal Net Technology Group, to its stable. NTT America announced a new agreement with Intelisys, giving the master agent's partners access to NTT's entire suite of services. As part of a new partnership with Broadview Networks, X4 Solutions' agent partners will be able to sell Broadview's OfficeSuite portfolio of products via the master agent's RPM platform.
Oracle unveiled its new PartnerNetwork Cloud Program aimed at helping partners accelerate the growth of their Oracle Cloud business through technical and go-to-market support. Partners can showcase their Oracle Cloud expertise, vertical-market offerings and success with customers through new tiers of recognition and progressive benefits.

Spikes Security is targeting the channel with a malware prevention system it says is "totally unique." The network security company announced the TRANSFORM channel program, which will give resellers access to the Isla Malware Isolation System. Spikes CMO Franklyn Jones said Isla is different from the other technologies that combat Web malware because the traditional ones rely on detection to eliminate the threat.
Learn more about Spikes' "unique" malware prevention system and channel program here.
Renewable energy-powered data center company Green House Data launched a partner program, saying the channel is ready for a more sustainable cloud. Wendy Fox, VP of marketing, told Channel Partners that although Green House has always engaged VARs and MSPs, the time has come to formalize its program. Brian Parsons, who joined the company last fall as director of channel programs, will serve as the program's dedicated channel manager.

Ikanow's new program was created to meet the "rapidly increasing demand" for the company's information-security analytics offering among midsize-to-large enterprise customers. Partners will receive technical guidance, sales and marketing support, and financial incentives to enable them to deploy and manage Ikanow ISA for their clients. The company wants to be channel-only.

If Obama has accomplished a single thing in his presidency he has raised the bar of presidential incompetence to the point that Jimmy Carter looks like George Washington by comparison.

@ Ducky Check him out. That email business is so far off his track I almost think someone set him up. He fired someone this week who may have been the email sender.
The guy is pretty consistent and transparent, just a little too stiff. Pity, b/c he is smart and convicted.
I will be thrilled to see President Obama out of office. The reason being that in my life time, I have never seen a president being treated so disrespectful. Even if a president is of a different party, as Americans we should try to support him in his good and positive endeavors. He brought thousands of jobs back, he travels all around the world trying to booker peace, (which is difficult since most leaders prefer some form of war). he got us taking to Cuba again, thank God, those people have suffered enough. He's assigned women and minorities to important positions. He tries to hear people and tries to implement what the public is pushing for, (like to pipeline debate). All this is and was especially difficult because all the other party people started off saying they would not support him on anything. And they haven't. Shame on their immature behinds. One big thing they have blocked infrastructure rebuilding with thousands of bridges in the united stated in trouble. a few have failed and people killed. Shame on you again. now these acting like children, public office holders, don't even want the president to pick a new judge to take scalia's place. SAD. and they think that's alright. actually it shouldn't be tolerated. My mother has a multi-millionaire friend that lives in Hillsborough, CA. she said she was embarrassed that people were so rude to the president, and his work. People say the president's wife, michelle, was h*** in the white house. Thank God she was because the dirty looks and rudeness they had to put up with. she showed those naughty men the mirror. when they gave her dirty snotty looks, she rolled her eyes and gave them right back to them. So i'm sorry people did not respect the president more, but i'm happy he gets to tell that crap goodbye.

As a conservative person who favors "traditional" or "Biblical" family values, has been over-burdened by Obama's health care reform as I watched my premiums triple, and lives in fear of his appointment of a Supreme Court Justice, I do not see where he has done anything to further U.S. prosperity, foster an "I can do it myself" attitude, maintain or improve any kind of respect and/or fear of our strength as world leader, or use his influence as an "African-American" president to foster good will among the vast number of ethnicities that make up the melting pot of America. HIS disrespect for America dwarfs anything he and his wife may have incurred.
That said, I respect your opinion and hope that you still have the right to express it before he gets done with us.
(you know I don't believe that for a moment)
I'm still embarrassed for Hillary and humiliated by Bill. Donald Trump does not represent anything I value as an American or person in general. ..just so you know
He is definitely encouraging civil disobedience in the remarks he makes at rallies (when he said he would punch someone who was heckling him and was being politely escorted out). Someone is going to take him up on the offer and there will be a riot. He is a liar and antagonist, and his disrespect for everything and everyone is appalling. I do not understand why the other candidates don't call him on his record as a businessman (which includes bankruptcies and dishonesty) or why he is not admonished to be quiet when it is another's turn to speak. If someone did that to him, he'd be escorted politely out of the room while The Donald guffaws that he would just rather punch the guy. Sigh. I really think Cruz is our best bet (for Republicans AND America), because he DOESN'T have support from The Establishment. Tells me THAT guy is representing the interests of his "people" and not the interests of himself.
It's probably too little too late.

Reach Higher Painting
I researched, illustrated, designed, and built a website for rhp.mn by myself.
This page is where I'll explain why I made the choices I did.
This project is still in progress as of 1/5/2017.
Visit RHP.MN
The client is a painting and drywall contractor who needs a website to show prospective customers. They describe their clientele as mainly affluent, liberal, and often artistic. They also do quite a bit of commercial work as well. The client wants a look that is "far out, joyful and memorable". The challenge is how to make something simultaneously far out and trustworthy. Trust is important because the client says, "People invite us into their homes, sometimes for several days."
Above The Fold
Version 1
After interviewing the client and two customers I had a list of 8 things to communicate so that customers would understand who they are and what makes them unique:
Who: Reach Higher Painting & Drywall
Where: Twin Cities Metro
What they do: Painting, enamel, and drywall
For over 15 years
Fully insured LLC
Free estimates
Owner operated
Slogan "Projects with Style"
That's a lot of stuff, plus adding contact buttons. I was worried about it looking too wordy so I used icons to represent three of the bullet points. The icons were from The Noun Project and black by default, I thought that if I made some of the text and buttons black it would help to make all of this information more digestible. A day later I realized this was not the case. Instead of fitting in with the black lines in the illustration, the icons demanded all the attention.
Version 1
Version 2
I removed the black icons and found it made the illustration stand out better. Then I changed some of the copy. "Over 15 years Owner Operated" was reduced to "Owner Operated" so that it would match the other two word bullet points nearby. "Serving the Twin Cities Metro Area" was changed to "Serving the Twin Cities Metro since 2002". This was done so that the owner wouldn't have to go in each year and increase the number, or I didn't have to write some code that would increase the number of years they've been in service. These changes gave me room to enlarge the text, increasing readability. Readability is really important to me. I want to be able to glance and something and accurately get the gist of it.
Version 2
Version 3
A couple hours later something didn't feel right about the two buttons. It didn't look balanced. I kept thinking "what does this site want me to do?". So I changed it to a single button with the call to action, "get a free estimate".
Version 3
Version 4
The client contacted me and said that he likes the clean design, but would like if we could feature the dinosaur logo more prominently. I thought about incorporating the dinosaur into the background image it mostly works. There is interplay with the "Projects with Style" logo and a stylish dinosaur. It could be even better if we were to replace "projects" with a better word, something that would universally apply to skateboarding and house painting. Let's shelve that for now. Then I fixed the mobile spacing problem by using one solid block of text and removed the "Free Estimates" bullet since it was also stated in the button.
Version 4
Mobile View 1&2:
Satisfied with the desktop view, I opened my phone and went to the site.
When I tested it in mobile view I was disappointed with two things: 1. Losing the house made the landing page functional but boring. 2. Too much unbalanced negative space. Using Weebly I don't have a lot of direct control with the mobile view, but I can tweak it with CSS. To fix the background I'd need to monkey around with the CSS. Before jumping in I searched Google and found lots of people with a similar problem. One solution was to us CSS to replace the image with a solid color for mobile. Another method was to make the image slightly smaller so that Weebly wouldn't automatically crop it, but would replace any empty space with a black background. I went with this solution and found that the dino photo helped line the text up with the black. I should note that this solution is not elegant. I can read and write HTML and CSS at an okay level, I mostly playing around until something works.
Mobile View 1
Mobile View 2
The clients picked me because they wanted their website to have a have a hand-drawn feeling. Their customers highly value individuality. I created these illustrations after meeting with the client and determining the main categories their clients search for.
Honestly, I don't know why the commercial drawing is a beautiful Victorian. It should be a coffee shop or a Walgreens. If I have time I'll go back and draw one.
Exterior Painting
Drywall and Texture Repair
Cabinet Enameling and Other Fine Finishes
Interior Painting
Staining Decks
The client wanted a logo that was far out, fun, memorable, and joyful. These would be made into work shirts their customers would see every day. They had seen a previous drawing I'd done of a flower morphing into an Eiffel tower and really liked it. So I made a shirt from the Eiffel tower design and created a another one of a dinosaur jumping over a rainbow with a skateboard.
The Gallery
Instead of placing the gallery on a separate page, I choose to put the gallery on the first page so guests can get an idea of their work immediately and to gain trust. So they can get the gist as soon as possible. Commercial work was placed first because the user's I interviewed said that seeing someone paint a Walgreens makes them feel like they can trust the company. After that, I didn't really put much thought into the order except for saving the family photos for last. It seemed like a happy way to end the page.
Right now I am using Weebly's basic photo gallery. In the future, I could see using something more modern. I checked out the competition and particularly like the gallery used by
Home Drywall and Painting
because you don't have to scroll around and the animations are a nice touch. I don't know what is more burdensome, scrolling back and forth versus clicking. For right now I think this is good enough and will wait to see if issues come up during user testing.
Moving Forward
Test with customers.
Make the site more harmonious by tweaking colors, buttons and other UI elements.
Illustrate a simplified dinosaur logo for print and business cards.

At the end of the meeting, President Sleiman said: "The main objective of my visit is to congratulate the Prime Minister on the formation of the government and wish him every success in his mission. The main subject is the new electoral law that everyone expects. The proportional system has been proposed for a long time and is in line with the Lebanese formula, but there are many fears, for known reasons, the first of which is the presence of weapons.
Some parties have apprehensions, whether they are founded or not. So I think that in the case of the Mixed Law (proportional and majority), a "disorder" will occur that will reduce the value of the proportional system and the importance of adopting it in the future, so I would prefer we take our time. It would be better to organize elections based on the majority system, even if not for a full term, and examine the total application of Taef, apply administrative decentralization and form the Senate. I think these two points will reassure those who are concerned.
It is also necessary to approve a defense strategy in Lebanon, to reassure people that weapons will soon be in the sole hands of the Lebanese state, which will dissipate the apprehensions of many people.
We must absolutely organize the elections, even if the law is not new. The alternation of power, even under the old law, should be done. The alternative is not to postpone the elections nor to extend the mandate.
Question: Even if it is under the 1960 law?
Sleiman: Yes, according to any law. The worst is the law of 1960, but it is better than a law that will lead us to an unknown place.What we put forward, me and the Meeting the Republic, is to hold elections at the level of the mohafazat, with total proportional system and to lower the voting age to 18 years.
Hariri also met with the Minister of State for Human Rights, Ayman Choucair, who said at the end of the meeting: "The meeting with the Prime Minister was very positive. He informed me of his views on the issue of human rights and we agreed to accelerate the work to establish the administrative structure of the ministry. President Hariri announced that there is the possibility of establishing a Ministry of Human Rights in the future in agreement with the President of the Republic given the importance of this ministry, which gives a positive image of Lebanon. And I expressed my wish to put in place the National Commission of Human Rights, mentioned in the ministerial declaration. He gave his instructions to start next week the creation of this body and I thank him for it".

Money, tons of it, will be made on the Internet. And there are a lot of interesting assignments to be had. This is the new gold rush. The trick is, unlike the old- economy way to wealth, that we got to go prospect. There is no straight line from what can be gotten to how to get it. Fortunately, on my most recent prospecting trip, which I assumed was a deal that only needed to be closed, my Buddhism kicked in. Now, I can continue prospecting with the appropriate mindset and mine the best quality of gold nuggets.
Here's the story.
Lots of customers out there for my communications services know they need something. But the space they inhabit in their heads, operations and budget is usually (hard lesson learned) light years away from where they need to be or where I can provide services to them.
Buddhism teaches us myopic mortals to plow in the energy but w/o expectation of results. So, that's what all this traveling on business is about, I realized last night. It's about making the effort with no expectation of closing the deal. Fine. In the old Gold Rush the miners had to adjust to that reality too. They probably handled it with an occasion drunk and visit to the Sisters of Mercy (as Leonard Cohen calls them).
But Buddhism doesn't specify, beyond doing "right work," how we ought to be expending our energy. Lesson learned: Pre-qualify the sale.
I should have questioned this prospect more closely about where the organization was in its Internet strategy and where it was willing to invest its resources. That would have uncovered the organization's reluctance to come out of denial.
One thing more Buddhism teaches: Everything is changing. Now that I have changed as a result of this last (abortive) prospecting venture, I've changed. I'm smarter about where and how to prospect.

VA reform by committee? That's all you got, Obama?
Our View: The VA has a problem with customer service. Here's how to fix it, without wasting time with a commission.
As President Obama was on his way to the Phoenix VA hospital on Friday, the White House announced he was appointing a new advisory committee to help the troubled agency "improve customer service delivery and Veteran outcomes and set the course for longer-term excellence and reform."
The committee, according to the announcement, would be composed of private-sector, non-profit and government leaders who "have experience in customer service, large-scale organizational change and advocacy for Veterans."
The entire controversy facing the VA can be boiled down to its customer-service issues.
When you leave customers languishing for months or years without fulfilling their sole objective in turning to your organization -- seeing a doctor -- then you have customer-service issues.
Exactly what enlightenment this new panel of wise customer-service solons will provide the VA is a mystery, however.
In the past year, the VA has been presented with two powerful motivations to enact meaningful reform.
The first was handed to the VA on a platter by The Arizona Republic: Plenty of indisputable evidence that the hospital's "customer service" was defined by fake appointment books and locked doors. The VA responded with burnished services here and there, but also with a zealous commitment to keeping things almost exactly as they are, just bigger and more expensive.
The other motivation came to the VA in the form of $10 billion from Congress so ill-served veterans -- read: customers -- could get medical care through private-sector providers. Congress instructed the VA to implement that "Veterans Choice Program" immediately.
And how has that reform worked out? You can practically hear VA feet being dragged across the pavement.
5 ways Obama could reform the VA:
Besides missing several deadlines for getting the program's "Choice Cards" to veterans, the agency's interpretation of the rules governing the program have been almost laughably literalist.
The wife of a sick vet in Globe wrote a letter to the editor explaining he had been turned down because the closest clinic was within 40 miles of his home. Well, yeah… if the veteran had wings! Since he doesn't, he has to travel nearly 60 miles on a corkscrewing road through the mountains.
Gannett-owned KARE 11 news in Minnesota reported that a veteran with cancer in rural Big Lake was turned down because there was a clinic close to his home: a clinic that largely performed dental work and minor out-patient services, not one that could treat a desperately ill cancer patient.
The VA shouldn't need an advisory committee to advise it about the obvious, that if you act like a faceless, heartless bureaucracy, your customers invariably will feel ill-served.
Perhaps this new advisory committee will help drive home to VA administrators the values of prompt, efficient quality care. We only hope this group isn't being formed for the sake of appearances.
That would be truly bad customer service.

Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov officially finished the 2018-19 NHL campaign with a whopping 128 points after scoring the eventual game-winner while adding an assist in Saturday's regular-season finale against the Boston Bruins.
Not only did that ensure the 25-year-old will win his first Art Ross Trophy (barring a 13-point effort by Connor McDavid in his final game of the season) but Kucherov also set a new record for points in a season by a Russian player.
Kucherov's point total broke the previous record of 127 set by Alexander Mogilny back in 1992-93.
Kucherov, a should-be lock for this year's Hart Trophy, had already established himself as one of the best offensive talents ever to emerge from his country but he's now perched on top of a list chock full of Russian hockey royalty.
1. Kucherov, 128 points in 82 games (2018-19)
2. Mogilny, 127 points in 77 games (1992-93)
3. Sergei Fedorov, 120 points in 82 games (1993-94)
4. Evgeni Malkin, 113 points in 82 games (2008-09)
5. Alex Ovechkin, 112 points in 82 games (2007-08)
6. Pavel Bure, 110 points in 83 games (1992-93)
He'll become just the third Russian to win the Art Ross, joining Ovechkin and two-time winner Malkin.
"Definitely a special moment for me," Kucherov said after Saturday's win, which tied an NHL record. "Thanks to everybody in the room and thanks for the guys helping me out. Without them, definitely wouldn't be where I am right now. It's a team effort. Everybody's involved in my success."
More than two-thirds of his points this season were apples, as well, which is a rarity considering he's a winger.
His 128 is also the highest points total of the salary cap era, topping Joe Thornton's 125-point campaign in 2005-06. In fact, it's the highest points total from any player since Mario Lemieux put up 161 in just 70 games (yes, you read that correctly) back in 1995-96.

Jennie Snyder Urman, the creator and showrunner of "Jane the Virgin," is more upbeat than one might expect, given that she is in the last stage of wrapping a series after five seasons on the air.
Although wistful, Urman is ready to let go after living in a vortex of goodbyes.
There was the goodbye when the writers crafted the last episode. The goodbye on the final day of filming. And then the goodbye of post-production, where the finishing touches are made.
"That's where I'm at now," she said. "One by one, the editors start to leave. It's this long goodbye, and it has all these different emotional steps to it. I'm just grateful to have had it, and I'm ready to say goodbye — the final one — now."
The series finale will be shown Wednesday.
"It was emotional writing it," she continued. "I was a freaking mess on set. The final scene we shot was on a bus, which is how we ended the pilot at four in the morning six years ago."
A modest performer by traditional ratings standards, "Jane the Virgin" nonetheless left an indelible mark by offering a rare portrait of a complex Latina character and her tight-knit Latino family. And it was a formative experience for Urman.
Being a TV writer was not something she considered much while growing up in Westchester, New York. Urman's love was books. She thought maybe she would become a novelist, or an English professor — maybe even an actress. It was her college roommate who suggested the pair try writing for TV. They spent a month writing spec scripts for shows including "Sex and the City," "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Law & Order."
She eventually scored her first writing gig for ABC's Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford-fronted sitcom, "Hope & Faith," then steadily built her TV resume from there, working on shows such as "Gilmore Girls," "Lipstick Jungle" and the "90210" reboot before getting the green light from the CW for her medical drama "Emily Owens, M.D." It didn't last a full season.
Then came "Jane." Based on the Venezuelan telenovela "Juana la Virgen," the series boasts an outlandish premise: Its heroine, a conscientious, 20-something virgin named Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez), is accidentally artificially inseminated during a routine gynecological exam. The series fully leaned into its telenovela roots and charmed critics along the way.
"A lot of 'Jane' was about 'Can this good person be interesting, too? Does she have to be dark and tortured to be an interesting character worthy of holding the center of the stage?' I think in the case of Jane, the answer is yes, that she's interesting; that trying to be a good person in the world is hard, too, and that you're faced with constant complications and dilemmas and choices that are not clear."
Working on the show has given Urman a career boost that she didn't imagine.
" 'Jane' has given me a real sense of my worth as a writer and as a producer," she said. "Knowing how much work I put into everything, and then on top of that, having it be well-received — that kind of confidence, you can't just sort of generate by yourself, or if you can, I couldn't."
