Cindy Kasner, a native Baltimorean, always knew she wanted to raise her family not far from where she grew up. She and her husband, Harvey, whom she met while attending optometry school in Philadelphia, believe that it is easier to connect to Judaism when living and working in a vibrant Jewish community. That's why after Harvey completed his residency at GBMC they decided to settle in the Owings Mills area.
Cindy has always had an interest in helping others, both in her role professionally and as a volunteer with The Associated. This year, she is co-chairing The Associated's Inspired Women's Project with Amanda Levine. This year-long program seeks to bring together a cohort of 20 women who are at a similar stage of life. Cindy, who participated in the program last year, sees this as an amazing opportunity to provide the same great, life-changing experience to a dynamic group of local women. Let's get to know Cindy…
What is The Inspired Women's Project?
The Inspired Women's Project focuses on Ourselves. Our Community. Our World. It includes a trip to Israel and monthly programs that are interesting, relevant and empowering. The program is designed to inspire women spiritually, connect them to their own Judaism and to our Jewish Community at large. The women's trip to Israel is a special opportunity to share this experience together and further encourages us to lead, to give and to take action.
How is this trip to Israel different then when you were there previously?
While travelling to Israel with my family was an amazing experience, being there with a group of women affords you different opportunities. You get to just focus on you and immerse yourself completely in the experience, soaking it all in. Being able to share it with a group of women who are interesting, dynamic and smart is really the icing on the cake. We all feed off of one another during group discussions, Jewish learning and touring. Processing everything that we see and do with each other only enriches the experience.
As an optometrist working in Baltimore City how have you managed work/life balance?
I've been extremely lucky. Working part time all these years has allowed me the opportunity to arrange my schedule so that I wouldn't miss my kids' sporting events. Both my sons were three sport athletes growing up which pretty much guaranteed that there was a game every afternoon.
When did you first get involved with The Associated? Why?
I first became involved with The Associated in 2010 when I participated in Dor Tikvah, a women's leadership development program. Although I was already contributing monetarily to The Associated, I was looking for a way to become more actively involved in a volunteer role. This program introduced me to all of the agencies that are part of The Associated and I learned how much the organization supports and serves the needs of the local Jewish community and Israel. I was given the opportunity to observe the Jewish Community Services' board and found my place in serving on the Economic Services Council for several years. I also joined the Israel & Overseas Education & Travel Committee last year.
If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
I would like to be Ina Garten's sous- chef. I enjoy cooking and love her recipes.
What advice did you give your sons when they went off to college?
My sons both attend The University of Maryland…one's a freshman and the other is a senior. I told them both to be true to yourself. Get a good education, have a good time but always remember our family values and keep them in mind as you venture out into the world.
What's one thing you like about being an empty nester? One thing that you don't like about being an empty nester?
I like having less laundry, less cooking and less cleaning. I don't like coming home at 4:30 p.m. in the afternoon instead of watching my kids' soccer, basketball or lacrosse games.
What's your favorite app on your phone that you can't live without?
Life 360 – shhh – don't tell my kids!
Do you have a favorite line from a movie or a favorite quote that you like to use?
"What's meant to be will always find a way"
If you or someone you know would be interested, please contact Jennifer Mendelsohn Millman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 410-369-9205.

The annual club golf day had its best ever year in 2015, raising over £10,000 for Rowley Lane in June.
Held at sunny Brocket Hall, 80 golfers in 20 teams competed for the top prize, which was won by the team representing mobile phone giants O2. Andrew Myers won the individual stableford.
The day – supervised by Dan Jacobs – was extremely well received and we are already planning 2016's golf extravaganza.

I personally love Kacey Musgraves for both her unapologetic personality and style, and her latest outfit is right up my alley. While walking around in New York (the weather was absolutely miserable, in case you were wondering), Kacey wore a pair of printed pajamas in public. The Butterflies singer was a whole mood in her cozy, red PJs that are pretty perfect for the upcoming holiday season. The silk separates featured a colorful print of tigers and flowers. Kacey's outfit honestly makes me want to slip into a pair of pajamas and call it a day, too.
To continue on the jungle theme, Kacey accessorized with an animal-print trench coat on top that was left open. She topped her look off with a brown beanie — another Winter essential — and a pair of light brown Gucci loafers. I obviously resonated with her choice of wearing PJs because, duh, comfort. Read on to get a closer look at her entire outfit. Then, shop similar styles for your wardrobe if you're feeling inspired to give it a try.

Medicaid is the primary program for financing residential and other long-term care services for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). Medicaid provides federal reimbursement of between 50% and 78% of each state's expenditures for long-term care, varying according to the per capita income in the state. During the decade between June 1992 and June 2002, there was rapid growth in Medicaid long-term care programs for persons with ID/DD. During that period combined Medicaid Home and Community Based "Waiver" Services (HCBS), Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/MR) and Nursing Facility (NF) fiscal year (FY) expenditures for persons with ID/DD increased from about $12.4 billion to about $25.6 billion, and mid-year service recipients increased from about 245,700 to 524,000 persons. Figure 1 shows the distribution of Medicaid long-term care recipients with ID/DD in the United States by type of living arrangement in mid-year 1992 and 2002. The types of arrangements (with sources of Medicaid financing) include nursing facilities, state and nonstate institutions of 16 or more residents (ICF/MR), community residential facilities with 15 or fewer residents (HCBS or ICF/MR), host or foster family (HCBS), family home (HCBS), or own home (HCBS). In compiling the statistics in Figure 1, we used reports on all ICF/MR and nursing facility service recipients, but only on 62.5% of HCBS recipients in June 1992 and on 70.8% of the HCBS recipients in June 2002. We assumed for both years that the living arrangements for HCBS recipients for whom living arrangements were not reported were distributed in the same proportions as for those for whom they were reported.
The overall growth of 116% in Medicaid long-term care recipients between 1992 and 2002 was all the more notable given that there was a decrease of about 38,300 persons with ID/DD living in state and non-state institutions and nursing facilities. In addition to the four-fold increase in the number of Medicaid long-term care recipients in community settings between 1992 and 2002 (from 104,700 to 420,300), major growth occurred in each of four primary categories of community living arrangements. The number of Medicaid long-term care recipients living in community residential facilities (places operated by agencies) increased by about 121% to 173,100; host (or foster) family residents increased by more than 350% to 32,600; and, most notably, people receiving services in family homes or in their own homes increased by about 10-fold, to an estimated 149,500 and 65,100, respectively.
Table 1 presents the 2002 distributions of Medicaid long-term care recipients in each state by type of living arrangements. Proportional estimates have been made for all HCBS-financed long-term care recipients in states reporting living arrangements for more than 70%, but less than 100% of their HCBS recipients. States reporting living arrangements for less than 70% of HCBS recipients are indicated with "NA" in the distribution of Medicaid long-term care recipients in the community living arrangements. Table 1 shows the substantial variations among states in the use of Medicaid long-term care options to provide institutional versus community services and within the community to support people in different living arrangements. For example, in 10 states more than one third of all Medicaid long-term care recipients were in residential or nursing institutions, whereas in 14 other states, more than one third of Medicaid long-term care recipients were living with parents or other family members.

The other day I was listening to a news report on the proposed federal spending, and it occurred to me -- since both parties sneer at the opposition's spending -- I thought I should look at some pie charts for different adminstrations and see how they compare.
I compared Federal Spending for 1998 (Clinton), 2009 (Obama), and 2018 (Trump). I know they're too small to read. You could expand them, but why bother, because they are all exactly the same damn pie.
(Pies from USGovernmentSpending.com)
Most categories varied by 1-2%, generally. The biggest leap was for health care, from 22% (Clinton), 26% (Obama), to 27% (Trump). Still, when you think of the healthcare debate, do you think they're haggling over 5%? No, they make it sound like those Obamacare pie slices are Pac-Man sized.
The one that varied most was military / defense spending, ranging from 19% (Clinton), 26% (Obama), to 22% (Trump). The 7% jump from Clinton to Obama was at least statistically significant. It's the only visible change in the pies above. But still, you have two wars and only bump up spending 7%? Pfft.
I mean, I didn't think I would find a giant pie slice labeled "Welfare queens!" next to one for "Thousand dollar hammers!" but I thought I'd see some dramatic variance between parties in power.
I'm sure there's some subtlety I'm missing. I suspect that I'm not looking at only discretionary spending — but still, looking at only one part misses the big picture, and it's too much like looking at a line graph with an axis that doesn't start at zero.

World travel attractions with cheap prices tours
5 top destinations you must see with perfect cruises! Costa Rica attractions : Wildlife, beaches, and fun are what attract visitors to Manuel Antonio National Park and the adjacent town of Manuel Antonio. The park is known for its beautiful stretch of sand, forest, and the wildlife that inhabits the area. Standing in stark contrast to this tranquility is the small town of Manuel Antonio, known for its lively atmosphere. Visitors who can embrace both will find the area lends itself to a longer stay. The town has plenty of hotels and restaurants and is within easy walking distance of the park. Guided walks through the park make for easy wildlife spotting, but even those who venture into the park on their own will have no trouble finding monkeys, sloths, and all kinds of birds. Howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and the hard-to-miss capuchins that frequent the town and park can usually be seen from the trails. Tour guides often carry tripods and telescopes, which are an added bonus for viewing and photography.
Top travel locations to visit in New Zealand : White Island is the country's most active volcano, which makes it one of the best places to go in New Zealand for adventurous travelers. Get up close and personal with White Island by taking a scenic helicopter ride with Volcanic Air Safaris. Your White Island tour won't be a leisurely stroll: Because this is a very active volcano, you'll have to wear a hard hat and gas mask. You may even see volcanologists monitoring the volcano. Although the volcano is commonly known as White Island, its full name is Te Puia o Whakaari, a Maori name that translates to "The Dramatic Volcano." The island was first called White Island by Captain Cook in 1769 because every time he sailed near it, it appeared to be covered in a cloud of white steam. (Cook never realized it was a volcano.) If a helicopter tour of White Island is not your thing, there are a number of other ways to explore the volcano. You can take a boat to White Island or get a bird's-eye view of it on a scenic flight. You can even go scuba diving around White Island for a look at the volcano's underwater vents.

Incredible Turkey … the destination at the intersection between East and West cultures. Cappadocia's underground cities first began to be chiseled out of the ground in the Bronze Age Hittite era, but they are most famous for their early Byzantine history (6th and 7th centuries), when the region's Christians took to living underground for long periods to escape from Arab and Persian invaders. Kaymakli Underground City is Cappadocia's largest example, with a labyrinth of rooms connected by tunnels that extends for eight levels. Four of these levels can be explored by visitors.Heading underground into the mazy network of tunnels is a fascinating experience, but those with claustrophobia should be aware that some of the tunnels are exceedingly narrow.
Do you need to enjoy a blue sky on a perfect beach ? Ibiza is an amazing location to relax. What can you see in Ibiza? The resort of Cala Llonga boasts a wide and sandy white beach, views over a beautiful bay and even hills covered in pine trees to frame the scenery. This is perhaps the most family-oriented place to visit in Ibiza, which means that you'll find plenty of families with young children in the area. The main beach even offers a playground and a miniature amusement park to keep kids having fun throughout the vacation. Cala Llonga is also situated just 10 minutes from Ibiza Town, which means you can easily head away from the beach and explore the historic attractions any time. Source: https://ibisconnect.ca/.

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — Trooper Larry Rudd was saluted by British Maj.-Gen. Nick Carter, five other generals and about 1,000 Canadian, American and British troops shortly after dawn Wednesday at a ramp ceremony about 20 kilometres away from where the 26-year-old Brantford, Ont. native was killed by a homemade landmine on Monday.
"Too soon, we again find ourselves gathered on this airfield to grieve the falling of a comrade," said Padre Carol Bateman, who is attached to Canada's battle group in Kandahar.
"If you needed a left marker on parade, Rudd was your man. Not only great in physical size, he had a ready smile and infectious good nature that made him a friend to all he met."
Rudd "would have been a very senior soldier in the Queen's army," if his life had not been ended suddenly by a homemade landmine on Monday, was the soaring assessment of his commanding officer after a private memorial Tuesday.
"He had more talent than many soldiers that I have seen," said Maj. Christian Lillington, who leads "A" Squadron, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, who had recently deployed to Afghanistan from Petawawa, in the Upper Ottawa Valley to provide reconnaissance for Task Force Kandahar.
The major expressed his personal sorrow to Rudd's mother, Helen, and his grandmother, Tony, who raised him alone in Brantford.
"Words cannot describe the generosity of this man," Lillington said of a 26-year-old soldier well-known for having a chew of tobacco at breakfast and for his talent at scrounging to find things to make life more comfortable for his fellow soldiers.
"He was a huge man but as big as he was, he was probably the gentlest of the group. Larry John is very special to me."
Rudd was killed when the vehicle he was in struck an improvised explosive device while on a combat resupply patrol that was bringing food and water to troops from Canada's battle group at a remote outpost in the difficult Panjwaii District, about 20 kilometres southwest of Kandahar City.
The bulk of Canada's combat forces, which are now led by 1st Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regiment, are concentrated in Panjwaii, which senior NATO officers have said recently is one of the keys if the alliance and Afghan forces are to succeed in rolling back the Taliban across their spiritual heartland in the south.
Rudd was the ninth soldier from the Royal Canadian Dragoons — Canada's senior armoured regiment — to die in Afghanistan and the eighth Canadian killed in Afghanistan this year.
"To my knowledge, he was killed almost immediately," Lillington, who is from Antigonish, N.S., said. "He struck an IED that had been there a long time, or so we had been led to believe."
More than two-thirds of Canada's fatalities in Afghanistan have been caused by IEDs that have either struck soldiers on foot patrols or, as in Rudd's case, while mounted in an armoured vehicle.
"There is no perfect solution" to defend against IEDs, Lillington, said. "It is a weapon without rules."
Rudd's death had a profound effect on his fellow troopers because "we are a very small squadron and very tight," the major said.
The best way forward for his soldiers was to remain "mission-focused" and continue supporting Afghan national security forces, he said.
In 2009, 520 NATO troops died in Afghanistan, up from 295 in 2008, mostly as a result of the Taliban laying far more IEDs. Already this year, 217 coalition troops have been killed.
Canada has nearly 3,000 troops in Afghanistan and South Asia. Its combat mission is slated to end next summer.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said that all Canadian troops will leave the country by the end of next year. However, talks are ongoing with NATO about where several hundred Canadians might serve in a much less risky training mission that would begin next year.

What a rollercoaster this one was!
The repercussions of Simon's actions were explored in this episode. Thankfully I was wrong and Ed wasn't killed off, since we've had two deaths this season another one would be excessive. Like Simon, I was also expecting the truth to come out and major consequences to be dished out, however, for now, there were none. I love the exploration of this conscience catch 22 of what would be worse–the truth coming out and be subjected to the nasty consequences you expected, or having the opportunity to get away with it because there are no evidence or consequences showing themselves.
I did see Ed taking a turn coming, but I'm grateful he woke up and I'm looking forward to seeing him throughout the remainder of the season. I felt that having Simon breakdown in his car was the perfect end to the plot in this episode, as realistically there is no other way to react. That being said I don't buy for a second that this plot is over, I think it will show itself again later in the season.
The highlight of this episode for me was the focus on Rita. This season of Love Child has either focused on Joan, or on Debbie and Elena's evolving friendship, Rita has always been present but in the background and her character has never been explored in depth.
I knew Rita's circumstances would be explored eventually and it doesn't surprised me that they weren't explored until she was just about to give birth. My mother and I had a theory that Rita was raped and that her immaculate conception story was her mind's way of protecting her from remembering the trauma. When her mother showed up, the theory that she was raped/molested by her stepfather immediately came to me and I was right. While I did find this revelation to be a bit of a cliche, I did appreciate the writers inserting Luke in as a red herring.
A smaller subplot that kicked off in the episode that I'm sure will be explored in the remaining episodes of the season is Viv's crush on and her kiss with Kate. I didn't see Viv having the crush, rather than the other way around, coming. I loved the writers' choice to not give Kate the opportunity to respond so the ramifications will pay out later on.
On a smaller note I did love the moment Viv spotted the fare for a Sydney-London flight for $450 and was immediately outraged…what a difference 45 years and inflation makes.
Overall this was a solid episode with spectacular acting, especially from Darcie Irwin-Simpson (Rita) and Andy Ryan (Simon).

text: Marty Backe 32,214 Posted December 5, 2018 19 minutes ago, LanghamP said: While I have stated numerous times that soft mood is more energy efficient, I think I have been telling people falsely. That is, given the same riding style hard may be more energy efficient than soft. To verify hard uses less energy than soft, ride your wheel with both settings over the same level ground. You'll notice hard uses less energy than soft, and I think I figured out why. The analogy is holding up a dumbbell straight above your head versus to your side; notice you have to expend more energy keeping the dumbbell to your side than straight up. In other words, @Marty Backe calling the "get out of the hole" is measurable. Keeping the dumbbell (the metal ball and not the rider) balanced above you takes less energy than nearly dropping the dumbbell then expending great energy to try to keep it almost level. However, ride a wheel soft then ride it hard, and the soft setting uses less energy per mile, and it's not by a little bit but a lot. So here we have WheelLog showing less watts on hard setting versus soft, but when you actually ride the wheel we have the softer setting using less energy than the hard setting! Whoops, so what is happening here? The answer, obvious now but not then, is the soft setting makes riders be much slower in their acceleration whereas hard encrourages hot dogging. Drive a hard wheel like it's soft and you'll get great mileage, but of course no one does that (nor should you). It's impossible, an affront to fun. Interesting, and sounds correct I would still like some confirmation. And I suppose does it really matter the 'why'? I do have a very predictable long (25-mile) range testing loop. Maybe on an upcoming weekend I'll ride with the same wheel, Saturday on hard mode and Sunday on soft. Ride it in the morning under low wind conditions. This sounds like a good test to do on my Tesla.

Can Federal Assets Cover the National Debt?
The federal debt is $26.3 trillion and growing, having increased by a trillion dollars in just 40 days prior to last Friday. There's too much complacency about the size of that debt, and much of this complacency can be traced to a 2013 study by the Institute for Energy Research estimating the value of federal land and energy resources to be around $200 trillion.
Since then, that study has been cited in Forbes, Time, MarketWatch, and by various bloggers, as well as President Trump's staff, all of whom argue that don't need to worry about the size of the debt because we can pay it off by selling federal assets. Unfortunately, this is based on a serious misreading of the IER study, mainly that the study used gross resource values, not the prices the federal government could get for its resources.
For example, the study assumed that oil is worth $100 a barrel, which is the price at a refinery. From this must be deducted the costs of finding, extracting, and transporting the oil to the refinery. The federal government's share of the oil it sells was about $12 a barrel in 2013 and, with declining oil prices, about $9 a barrel in 2019.
The Institute for Energy Research may have understood the difference between gross and net values, but none of the people quoting them did. Moreover, I haven't seen any indications that the institute bothered to correct these misinterpretations.
Worse, federal resources include so much oil, natural gas, and coal that it will take hundreds of years to extract it all. Federal coal reserves in the contiguous 48 states alone represent 1,300 years of American coal consumption. This means we can't simply multiply the price of coal per ton by the number of tons owned by the federal government; we have to discount future coal mining by an appropriate interest rate.
Using a 3 percent discount rate, and assuming federal oil, gas, and coal is produced at a rate equal to half of all U.S. production (which is far faster than it is being produced today), all energy resources owned by the federal government are worth around $2 trillion, not $200 trillion. At a 4 percent discount rate, the value is reduced to $1.5 trillion. Even these numbers are questionable because more than 80 percent of the federal government's oil is shale oil, which is the most expensive to extract, so royalties paid by oil producers for that oil will probably be lower than for other energy minerals.
Further, it is easily possible that energy substitutes for oil, gas, and coal will become available and economical long before the federal resources are exhausted. You can see my detailed calculations along with other caveats in this four‐page paper.
To this can be added the value of federal lands. The federal government owns about 623 million acres of land. A 2015 paper from the Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated the 464 million acres of land in the contiguous 48 states was worth an average of $4,100 per acre, for a total of $1.8 trillion.
There are problems with this number as well. First, about a third of these lands are in national parks, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges that Congress would never dare to sell. To collect total revenues of $1.8 trillion, the remainder would have to be worth $7,200 an acre.
Perhaps half of the remainder are forest lands, but such lands are generally not worth $7,200 or even $4,100 an acre. Weyerhaeuser recently sold 630,000 acres of forest lands in Montana for $230 an acre. Even in the Oregon Coast Range, which has some of the most productive timberland in the world, land typically sells for under $4,000 an acre. Timber and timberland values are low because, says the Forest Service, the United States is growing timber far faster than it is cutting it.
Some of the remaining land might be considered agricultural and is used for grazing cattle and other domestic livestock. But the United States has 1.1 billion acres of private agricultural lands and only uses about 350 million of them to grow all the crops we need to feed ourselves and our livestock plus export food and grow corn for ethanol. Most federal lands in Alaska, incidentally, are also in national parks and/or are tundra that certainly can't be sold for $4,100 an acre.
In short, the federal government is even less likely to get $1.8 trillion for its land than it is to get $2.0 trillion for its energy resources. Selling all of these resources will cover, at most, 14 percent of the national debt as it stood last week, and probably a lot less. This means no one should be complacent about the size of the national debt thinking that the federal government has the resources to cover it.
Trump's $1 Trillion Infrastructure Plan
It's an election year, so it must be time for some grandiose infrastructure proposals. Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR), chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has come out with a $494 billion five‐year transportation proposal, which is a huge boost from Congress' 2015 five‐year spending package of $305 billion. Congress writes a new highway & transit package about every five or six years; the 2015 one expires on September 30 of this year.
In response, the Trump administration is rumored to finally be coming out with his $1 trillion infrastructure plan. Candidate Trump famously promised to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure in 2016 in response to Hillary Clinton's proposal to spend half a trillion on infrastructure. Campaign background documents clarified that he didn't expect the federal government to spend $1 trillion but merely to give private investors incentives to spend that much money. Nothing much happened with that plan after he took office.
Now that the 2015 highway & transit package is about to expire, the Trump administration is planning to build its infrastructure plan around its renewal. On one hand, the administration wants to spend less money that DeFazio's plan. On the other hand, it wants to reach the magic number of $1 trillion. To do both of these things, it will propose not a five‐year plan but a ten‐year plan that spends less each year than DeFazio's plan but more in total.
Specifically, the draft Trump package would spend $810 billion on highways & transit over ten years. To round the total up to $1 trillion, another $190 billion is thrown in for rural broadband, 5G cell services, and other non‐transportation infrastructure.
Even $81 billion a year is far more than the federal government collects in highway user fees. When Congress created the Interstate Highway System in 1956 and dedicated federal gasoline taxes and other motor vehicle excise taxes to that system, Tennessee Senator Al Gore — the former vice-president's father — insisted that it be on a pay‐as‐you‐go basis, in other words, that the highways would only be built as fast as the money came in for them.
Gas taxes are supposed to be user fees, but because we call it a tax, it got caught up in the pledges not to increase taxes many Congressional candidates made in the 1990s. As a result, the federal gas tax hasn't been increased since 1993. Considering inflation and increased fuel economy, that means drivers are paying only about 40 percent as much today for every mile they drive as they did in 1993.
Instead of raising gas taxes, Congress increased deficit spending. In 1996, Congress abandoned Gore's pay‐as‐you‐go rule and decreed that the federal government should spend as much money as was projected to come in, not how much it actually collected. This became important in the 2008 financial crisis, when gas tax and other highway revenues declined. Since then, Congress has supplemented those revenues with something like $140 billion in deficit spending.
The Trump plan would have less deficit spending than the DeFazio plan, but considerably more than the 2015 transportation bill. While the 2015 bill required about $100 billion in deficit spending over five years, considering that the pandemic is reducing highway revenues the Trump bill is likely to require about $400 billion over the first five years and more after that.
In 1991, Congress created a program called New Starts to fund up to 50 percent of the cost of light‐rail and other obsolete transit lines. By increasing traffic congestion and promoting high taxes and wasteful spending, this program has probably done more damage to American cities than any federal program since the urban renewal projects of the 1950s.
The DeFazio bill would increase the federal government's share of New Starts money to 80 percent. More wisely, the Trump plan would cut this program altogether and spend money instead on rehabilitating existing rail lines. Since the transit industry has a $100 billion infrastructure backlog, rehabilitation makes more sense than building new lines, but in many cases it would be better to simply replace trains with buses when the rail lines wear out.
Although the Trump plan would end New Starts, one draft of the plan would create a brand‐new program promoting intercity passenger trains. Since they are just as obsolete as light rail, this would merely trade in one wasteful program for another.
None of these plans take into account the effect of the pandemic, which is likely to accelerate the decline in transit ridership and growth of auto driving. Transit ridership was already falling before the pandemic, and the pandemic reduced ridership for some transit agencies by more than 95 percent. Many of these riders will never go back to transit. Any infrastructure bill passed by Congress needs to account for these changes and the futility of trying to get people out of their cars when cars are the safest way to travel during an epidemic.
Trump's promise of a $1 trillion infrastructure plan conflicted with his promise to "drain the swamp" or reduce federal bureaucracy. We don't need a federal program for 5G cell networks; private industry will do that. We don't need a federal program for rural broadband; having slower internet is one the trade‐offs people accept for living in rural areas. We don't need to continue, much less expand, a federal program for the obsolete transit industry. Finally, we don't need to use deficit spending to subsidize highways; highway users will pay for the roads they drive on if we ask them to, especially if they know the money they are paying isn't be diverted to transit boondoggles.

Governments often fail because they tend not to learn lessons. They make similar mistakes over and over for reasons described in this study.
The FDA botched its COVID-19 response by using its regulatory powers to monopolize the development of virus tests. I have not heard any apologies for the failure or that any officials have been fired. As a Wall Street Journal investigation of HHS leadership suggests, the gross testing failure has led to lots of finger pointing, but not institutional reforms.
After the testing debacle, one might think that federal leaders would hesitate to impose further one‐size‐fits‐all solutions for COVID-19. But no—the Wall Street Journal reports that House Democrats want to require OSHA "to order all companies to implement comprehensive plans to protect workers who continue in their jobs during the pandemic. The new, emergency standard would have to be issued within seven days after any legislation is signed into law."
Thus, in seven days federal bureaucrats would apparently write‐up a Giant Safety Plan to impose on millions of businesses in hundreds of industries across our huge and diverse nation. That makes no sense.
Federal policymakers seem to have little comprehension that their actions often sideline the vast brain power and innovation that lives outside of Washington. At the stroke of a pen, federal regulations nullify the experimentation, dynamism, and speed that America's private sector can mobilize to solve problems.
As they consider imposing COVID-19 safety regulations, policymakers should ponder the pro‐active steps that businesses are already taking or actively considering, as discussed in another Wall Street Journal article. Businesses are separating workspaces, taking temperatures and screening health at work entrances, testing employees before they get to work, closing lunch rooms, installing workspace partitions, adjusting shifts, modifying production lines, changing entrances and exits, closing facilities and tracing contacts if workers test positive, placing materials down rather than handing them to others, sanitizing workspaces, having safety experts instruct workers, spacing bathroom urinals, wearing electronic bands to alert workers if others are too close, and providing masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer.
A central plan quickly thrown together in Washington could not impose a "best" way for millions of businesses to install these sorts of changes. Every business is unique. Here are some reasons why allowing businesses to address their own safety challenges is superior to top‐down federal mandates:
Trial‐and‐Error. The Journal story puts a negative spin on diverse business approaches to safety as a "patchwork" and "ad hoc." But anyone who studies innovation knows that trial‐and‐error processes are crucial to economic and societal improvements. Private institutions change direction all the time as they try different things and receive feedback from stakeholders. To discover the best ways to adjust each workplace for COVID-19, businesses need the freedom to experiment and to change course.
Government regulations undermine the steady improvements that are the hallmark of markets and free societies. Imposing COVID-19 safety regulations would reduce business incentives to implement new and better approaches. The question around every workplace would change from "Are we doing this safely and can we do it better?" to "Are we conforming to the OSHA rules?"
Horizontal Learning. Volkswagen is reopening some of its European factories after making 100 workplace changes. VW has been flooded with requests from other businesses about the safety procedures it is using, and so the company has posted its ideas online. American businesses are also studying Chinese businesses that were able to open safely. This sort of horizontal learning is superior to the often‐ill‐informed edicts from Washington. Similarly, horizontal sharing of resources during crises is better than vertical intervention, as discussed here.
Costs and Benefits. In theory, federal bureaucrats are supposed to design regulations by comparing the costs and benefits of various possible rules, but the process is a crude way of making decisions in an economy, even after rules have been studied for years. In the current crisis, regulators would have little time to even try and make balanced decisions. Business leaders know their own facilities, employees, and customers, and they can make better reopening decisions based on their local knowledge.
Flexibility. The nature of the COVID-19 threat will change over time. Scientists may learn more about virus transmission on surfaces and in the air. Drugs may be developed to reduce the health risks. New safety approaches and technologies may be developed. As such, businesses need the freedom to adjust their safety procedures over time. Regulations would lock‐in rules that may be quickly outdated as conditions change.
The Simon Abundance Index 2020
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first celebration of Earth Day. The Simon Project is happy to announce the release of The Simon Abundance Index 2020. This year's Index covers the period between 1980 and 2019.
The main findings of the report are as follows:
Between 1980 and 2019, the average time price of 50 basic commodities fell by 74.2 percent. That means that for the same length of time that a person needed to work to earn enough money to buy one unit in our basket of 50 commodities in 1980, he or she could buy 3.87 units in 2019. The average individual level of abundance, in other words, rose by 287.4 percent. That amounts to a compound annual growth rate of 3.63 percent and implies a doubling of abundance every 19.45 years.
The price elasticity of population (PEP) allows us to measure sensitivity of resource availability to population growth. Between 1980 and 2019, the world's population increased from 4.458 billion to 7.677 billion or by 73.2 percent. The time price of commodities fell by 74.2 percent. As such, the time price of commodities declined by 1.014 percent for every 1 percent increase in the world's population. Put differently, over the last 39 years, every additional human being born on our planet appears to have made resources proportionately more plentiful for the rest of us.
The Simon Abundance Index uses the time price of commodities and change in global population to estimate global resource abundance. The Index represents the ratio of the change in population over the change in the time price, times 100. It has a base year of 1980 and a base value of 100. In 2019, the Index reached a level of 670.9. That is to say that the Earth as a whole was 570.9 percent more abundant in 2019 than it was in 1980.

New York MTA Forbade Employees from Protecting Themselves by Wearing Masks
Last week, I pointed out a recent report that blamed much of the spread of COVID-19 in New York City on the subway system. Recently, I've collected a series of memos suggesting that New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is specifically culpable in this spread.
During the 2012 influenza epidemic, the MTA issued a policy directive stating that the agency would keep a six‐week supply of sanitizer wipes, sanitizer gel, and N95 respirators on hand for use by employees. The directive specifically stated that the masks would be available for bus drivers, station attendants, train conductors, and cleaners, among others.
The first COVID-19 death in America was reported by Washington state on February 29, 2020. Rather than make its supposed six‐week stockpile of masks available to its employees, MTA issued a memo on March 6 forbidding employees from wearing masks, even if they had their own masks. The memo worried that, if bus operators and station attendants were allowed to wear masks, it could lead to "panicked purchasing of facemasks … thereby putting health care providers and their communities at greater risk."
Admittedly, as of March 6, there was still some debate among epidemiologists about whether healthy people needed to wear masks to protect themselves from the virus. But it is one thing to not mandate that masks be worn; it is quite another to forbid employees from wearing them. MTA also apparently failed to follow its own policy directive to maintain a six‐week supply of respirators.
Nine days later, on March 15, MTA reported that the first of its employees had tested positive for the coronavirus. However, it wasn't until March 30 that MTA rescinded its order forbidding employees from wearing masks. It may only have been a coincidence that MTA's CEO, Patrick Foye, had tested positive for COVID-19 the day before or that the first deaths of two MTA employees from coronavirus had taken place on March 26.
On April 9, MTA announced that it had acquired 75,000 masks and had made them available to its workers "since March 1." Technically, that was true, but it didn't begin distributing them until around March 31. When employees complained that MTA had not made the masks available before then, MTA officials grumbled that it was "a transportation organization, not a medical provider." So much for the 2012 policy directive.
On April 16, MTA finally issued a bulletin mandating that both employees and passengers wear masks. But by that time, more than 70 MTA employees had died of the coronavirus and at least 6,000 were in quarantine.
The MTA also signed a stipulation with the local transit union agreeing to pay out $500,000 in death benefits to any active employees who died after contracting the coronavirus, without debating whether the coronavirus was the actual cause of death or whether the employee had been infected when on duty. Employees who had lost friends to the virus suspect that the agency agreed to this to minimize the chance of lawsuits for much larger amounts due to its failure to protect its own employees.
Now that the virus may be winding down in New York, several city council members are urging Governor Cuomo to shut down the subways. In retrospect, however, it is clear that Cuomo should have shut MTA down as soon as he realized the pandemic would be serious.
As I noted last week, academic studies published in 2011 and 2018, among others, made it clear that, in the event of a pandemic, transit systems would likely be a major source of infection. One even found that people who rode transit were nearly six times more likely to have acute respiratory infections than those who didn't.
Rather than shut down, however, MTA and other transit agencies continue to operate, insisting that they are providing a vital service for "essential workers." The reality is that those essential workers would be much safer getting to work in private automobiles than taking transit.
Why Are Transit Systems Still Running?
Sit‐down restaurants and bars have been shut down. Public officials are discouraging or even forbidding people from doing "unnecessary travel," even if it is to visit a second home where they might be able to socially distance themselves better than in their first, more urban home. All sorts of other rules are being passed, all supposedly for our own good.
So why are urban transit systems still running? A 2018 study found that "mass transportation systems offer an effective way of accelerating the spread of infectious diseases." A 2011 study found that people who use mass transit were nearly six times more likely to have acute respiratory infections than those who don't. Not surprisingly, a study published a few days ago found that New York City subways were "a major disseminator — if not the principal transmission vehicle — of coronavirus infection."
Transit agencies say they are helping "essential workers" go about their business. But if they are so essential, isn't it important to find them a safe way of getting to work? If we truly cared about people's safety, then transit services should have shut down at the same time we closed other non‐essential businesses and asked people to stay at home.
I don't think it is a coincidence that 44 percent of all transit rides in 2019 took place in the New York‐northern New Jersey urban area and, at last count, 45 percent of all COVID-19 fatalities were recorded in this same area. When I pointed this out to Hawaiian transportation engineer Panos Prevedouros, he did a more detailed analysis showing a strong state‐by‐state correlation between transit and coronavirus.
Unfortunately, the transit lobby has successfully turned government‐subsidized transit into a sacred cow. Transit is supposedly greener than driving when in fact it's an energy hog. Transit is supposedly needed to help poor people get to work when in fact the people most likely to commute by transit are those earning more than $75,000 a year.
When the pandemic took away most of transit's customers, instead of shutting down, which would have been the responsible thing to do, transit agencies demanded that Congress give them $25 billion, tripling federal support to transit this year. Thanks to transit's sacred cow status, Congress agreed without any serious debate.
Effectively, Congress rewarded the agencies for spreading disease. It would have been better to use that money to help transit‐dependent essential workers buy a car so they could have a safe way of getting to work.
Now transit agencies are beginning to fret that they'll need even more money soon. Instead, it's time to shut down transit systems for the duration, and start a debate about what kind of transportation we will need with the pandemic is over.
Are Low Oil Prices Bad?
A new oil deal led by the United States, Russia, and Saudi Arabia promises to withhold 9.7 million barrels of crude oil a day from global markets – over 13 percent of the world's daily supply. The deal is in response to cratering demand for gasoline as millions stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and as businesses reduce their energy utilization.
Limiting crude oil supply to inflate oil prices is a sharp reversal of previous U.S. policy. As recently as last September experts worried of the damage that high oil prices would cause the U.S. economy, and the U.S. has a historically antagonistic relationship with OPEC. Current worry over low prices is, at a minimum, surprising.
So why the change of heart? A glance at the S&P 500 Energy Sector tells part of the story. From January 1 to March 18 the index dropped by 60 percent. Markets have rebounded somewhat since then but still remain at barely half their six‐month high.
The other part of the story is crony capitalism: after the oil sector lobbied for but failed to get $3 billion in stimulus funding, President Trump directed the Department of Energy to make purchases to fill the strategic petroleum reserve anyway. More explicitly, he said, "[Russian President Vladimir Putin, Saudi Arabian King Salman, and I] had a big talk as to oil production and OPEC and making it so that our industry does well and the oil industry does better than it's doing right now." Later he directly acknowledged the change of heart, saying, "I hated OPEC. You want to know the truth? I hated it — because it was a fix. But somewhere along the line that broke down."
Yet trying to raise oil prices is insane economic policy. Lower prices are bad for sellers but good for consumers and non‐oil‐producing businesses. Thus the dramatic drop in oil prices over the past two months is one of the few silver linings in the current economic situation.
At best, the oil deal will temporarily prop up the struggling U.S. energy sector. At worst, it will enrich oil companies and their shareholders at the expense of struggling Americans. The U.S. has criticized OPEC's manipulation of oil prices for decades, but now we are complicit.

in reply to Trying to get intergenic sequences using BioPerl
What is the relevance of my @two = shift @features;?. Since shift shortens @features by one through removing the first element held therein you might end mis-assigning feature tags to variables since you can't be sure that all features in a genbank file are consistent for every annotation.
Have you printed out the value of $pt to verify that it is either "CDS" , "rRNA" or "tRNA" ?
Within the same if block you're pushing into and shifting out of @two inside the foreach loop. A practice that can make it harder for you to track current elements within @two
If we define intergenic regions as any region upstream of the next gene and downstream of the first gene and since genes can be in the forward or the backward strands; right next to each other spaced apart by a random number of nucleotides then extracting the intergenic region might be very tricky since you have to consider the orientation of the genes flanking the region and their start and end (start>end for forward strand genes and start<end for backward strand)
From my experience, dealing with Genbank or any other format besides gff is suboptimal due to inconsistent and erroneous annotations. However, try FeatureExtract.py with the -i flag. Be very vigilant for inconsistencies in extracted regions and consider that the output of FeatureExtract might need further cleaning up.
My approach is to parse a GFF file myself and get the coordinates for the features I want to extract then use sfetch to extract the sequences from the corresponding genbank file by passing these coordinates for the features (genes, CDs, RNA, tRNA ..etc). The sfetch utility appropriately takes care of the orientation for you in that if you pass it a "from" position that is larger than a "to" position then it'd extract and reverse translate the negative strand.
In the case of intergenic regions this can simply be reading between the lines of the gff file. I am passing you my one-liners for this activity which you could modify to your content. I put appropriate comments there to get you started.
#Given a gff file and embl file for a genome extract the upstream sequ +ences that correspond to intergenic regions #STEP1: Parse a GFF file to get upstream regions #The idea is to create a hash using the line numbers as keys (line num +bers correspond to genes), upstream regions for positive #strand genes are enclosed between $F[3] of the current line and $F[4] + of the PREVIOUS line. Upstream regions for negative #strand genes are enclosed between $F[4] of the current line and $F[3] + of the SUBSEQUENT line. #if the first gene record was on the positive strand then the upstream + region is counted from 1 upto $F[3]. cat file.gff | perl -F'\t' -lane 'push @{$hash{$.}}, @F }{ @record_lin +e_numbers= sort {$a<=>$b} keys %hash; foreach $element (@record_line_ +numbers){if($element ==1 && @{$hash{$element}}[6] eq "+" ){print "$el +ement\t1\t@{$hash{$element}}[3]\t@{$hash{$element}}[6] "}elsif(@{$has +h{$element}}[6] eq "+"){$prev_line=$element-1;print "$element\t@{$has +h{$prev_line}}[4]\t@{$hash{$element}}[3]\t@{$hash{$element}}[6]" }els +if(@{$hash{$element}}[6] eq "-" ){$next_line=$element+1; print "$elem +ent\t@{$hash{$element}}[4]\t@{$hash{$next_line}}[3]\t@{$hash{$element +}}[6]" } } ' | perl -F'\t' -lane 'next if(($F[2] - $F[1]) < 10); +print' > file.upstream.coord.txt #extract sequences 200 nts upstream upto 5 nts after the start codon t +hrough sfetch cat file.upstream.coord.txt | perl -F'\t' -lane '$length=$F[2]-$F[1]; +if($length>200 && $F[3] eq "+"){$from=$F[2]-200;$to=$F[2]+7; $name = +join("_",$F[0],$from,$to,$F[3]); print "sfetch -d bacteria.embl -F \" +fasta\" -f $from -t $to -r \"$name\" ." }elsif($length < 200 && $F[3] + eq "+"){$from=$F[1];$to=$F[2]+7; $name=join("_", $F[0],$from,$to, $F +[3]); print "sfetch -d bacteria.embl -F \"fasta\" -f $from -t $to -r +\"$name\" ." }elsif($length > 200 && $F[3] eq "-"){$from=$F[1]+200; $ +to=$F[1]-7; $name =join("_", $F[0],$from,$to, $F[3]); print "sfetch - +d bacteria.embl -F \"fasta\" -f $from -t $to -r \"$name\" ." }elsif($ +length <200 && $F[3] eq "-"){$from=$F[2];$to=$F[1]-7;$name=join("_", +$F[0],$from,$to, $F[3]); print "bacteria.embl -F \"fasta\" -f $from - +t $to -r \"$name\" ."} ' | sh > file.upstream.fa

2021 Calendar Competition now open
22 June 2020
We are have now decided to press ahead and produce our own calendar again for 2021. As before, would like it to be made up of pictures and stories of your cats and kittens, so we are again running a photo competition to choose which cats will appear in the Calendar. Your cat does not have to have been adopted from us or be a rescue cat and you don't have to be in our area to enter either.
We need 12 lovely pictures and stories for our Calendar so hope that we will receive lots of entries. The overall winning entry will receive a £10 voucher to spend on our cat or new goods stalls at one of our Homing Shows and a copy of the calendar, and your cat will appear on the front of the calendar AND one of the monthly pages. The 11 runners up will each receive a copy of the calendar and their pictures will appear on a monthly sheet. We will also plan to have another page featuring some of the other photos submitted which don't make it to the final 12, so even if you are not a winner, your cat could still be starring in our calendar. Your entry should consist of a good quality picture of your cat, preferably landscape orientation (long side across the top), along with information about your cat, in no more than 100 words. You can enter as many pictures as you like and again this year, there will be no entry fee, so the more photos you submit, the better. Please send pictures uncropped, so that we can crop for best effect in the calendar. Pictures should ideally be of landscape orientation and but be clear and not blurry. For pictures sent via email, the higher the resolution the better, but they should be of at least 1MB.
The competition closes on the 25th July 2020, so please do send in your entries as soon as possible. This can be done in two ways:
1. By post with a hard copy of the photo and your story about the cat pictured in no more than 100 words to Moggies Mag, c/o 2 Reed Pond Walk , Langdon Hills, SS16 6AX . Please enclose a stamped self addressed envelope if you would like your photo returned to you.
2. By email to email@example.com with your story about the cat pictured in no more than 100 words
The judges will again be the Editors of Moggies Mag, our branch magazine, and their decision will be final. We do hope you will take part in the competition and help us to produce next year's Branch calendar.
We hope to have copies of the calendar, which will be printed in colour, on sale from the beginning of September onwards Some pages from our a previous year's branch calendar:
