Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decision is a way of praying. Give us the courage after our doubts, to be able to choose between one road and another. May our YES always be a YES and our NO always be a NO. Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse. And in order for this to be possible.

Prof. BlanchFlower's new book "Not Working : Where Have All the Good Jobs Gone?" published by Princeton University Press is forthcoming in June, 2019.
In this revelatory and outspoken book, David Blanchflower draws on his acclaimed work in the economics of labor and wellbeing to explain why today's postrecession economy is vastly different from what came before. He calls out our leaders and policymakers for failing to see the Great Recession coming, and for their continued failure to address one of the most unacknowledged social catastrophes of our time. Blanchflower shows how many workers are underemployed or have simply given up trying to find a well-paying job, how wage growth has not returned to prerecession levels despite rosy employment indicators, and how general prosperity has not returned since the crash of 2008.
Standard economic measures are often blind to these forgotten workers, which is why Blanchflower practices the "economics of walking about"—seeing for himself how ordinary people are faring under the recovery, and taking seriously what they say and do. Not Working is his candid report on how the young and the less skilled are among the worst casualties of underemployment, how immigrants are taking the blame, and how the epidemic of unhappiness and self-destruction will continue to spread unless we deal with it.
The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon and Princeton University Press.

A new model 2018 Ford Expedition is ahead of us, which gets various types of improvements. Ford worked energetically to enhance the present F-150 by diminishing mass and including productive turbocharged motors all mounted on a high-quality steel outline. For 2018, those same headways advance toward the all-new Expedition. Almost every nut and screw is new, even down to the drivetrain. Ford's refreshed 3.5-liter EcoBoost with 375 torque is combined with the new 10-speed programmed transmission, carrying more power with better fuel effectiveness. The Expedition's body boards are currently aluminum and its inside offers many plan prompts from the F-Series pickups.
The 2018 Ford Expedition rides on an altered variant of the F-150's completely boxed steel outline, yet utilizes a four-wheel free suspension framework for a smooth ride. Both the standard-length Expedition and long-wheelbase Expedition MAX adaptations return, however Ford says the three-push SUV drops more than 300 pounds over the active model. Innovation enhancements are huge, also, including all the current dynamic wellbeing gear like versatile voyage control, path keep help, and programmed crisis braking. The in-dash tech additionally observes a major change, with Ford's Sync 3 framework, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot for 10 gadgets in a 50-foot border around the SUV. The commonplace trim levels return, as well, including XLT, Limited, and Platinum. The base XL trim is accessible for armada clients too. New for 2018 is a FX4 Off-Road bundle for the XLT trim. It brings included equipment for handling cruel landscape, while set apart with visual changes.
The new Ford Expedition 2018 has five types of design when it comes to wheels and there are four colors like Platinum Dune Tricoat, Burgundy Velvet Tinted Clearcoat, Cinnamon Glaze and Blue Metallic.
The new 2018 Ford Expedition exterior is marked by slight changes. These changes are reflected by the change in the front of the bumper and grille. The rings on their upper part get an insert. There are small redesigned fuse boxes. The lower part of the lattice continued to maintain its main function in terms of ventilation. If the vehicle is viewed from the profile, we will see that the bottom line goes beyond the last point so that it gets at least at least in a visual manner. The rear side has an exhaust chrome-plated four-pipe system. Pipes are necessary for exhaust performance, but they also have a bearing on the look.
We can make a comparison with some of the competitors, and there are plenty of them in the mid-size vehicle segment. Thus, the focus in this class is placed on Atlas. The vehicle is equipped with seven seats and 5,000 pounds of towing. The 2018 Atlas has its appearance in part, as well as a volcano, which in the new version has sharp and sporty angles than its predecessors. The lower parts are coated with plastics from all sides. The side panel has a striking line and a chrome plated for LED headlights. When it comes to wheels, those of 18 inches are standard variants and those of 20 inches are premium models.

It took a lot of time and money to get inside. Ford decided that the control panel on the new 2018 Ford Expedition model would be like the F-150. Anti-glare properties are part of this interior, and therefore special materials are selected. If we make a comparison between the F-150 and the new Expedition, at first glance, we will not notice the difference. A different design is also a central console that has received new control devices and a new gear changer. Metal materials in combination with the right wood materials give an extra luxurious design. Leather materials in combination with the contrast of the gray material give one dose of elegance. Ventilation, heating and advanced air conditioning are some of the features that are packaged in the new design.
Vehicle information and its current state are located on a cluster that has two analogue numbers for speed and touch. The TFT screen is also located on that page and displays the required information. Extremely important is the technology of the future, in this case it is the In-dash technology that Ford provides and which refers to the Sync 3 Infotainment that is linked to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The HVAC control room contains the phone charging part. If you need a USB connection, use two pieces.
What makes Expedition the right eight-way vehicle and puts it in the category of top SUVs, are the way in which the order of the seats is arranged, that is, the configuration of the seats. Two rows with three passengers confirm this. The second row is constructed so that it gives easy access to the third line because the second row has the possibility of a slight shift. The LATCH system has made it possible for such an easier movement. HVAC system allows passengers to regulate such as temperature and control. The heated seats and TV on the seats are optional.
2018 Expedition owns the new 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 that belongs to the second generation. It's the same EcoBoost V-6 that's found in the F-150. One such engine makes an incredible 375 horsepower with 5,000 rpm and slightly less 470 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm. If we make a comparison with Chevy, then 5.3-liter V-8 with 383 pound-feet of torque below the Ford model.
If we go ahead with the offer we will have a 3.5-liter EcoBoost that makes 400 horsepower 5,000 rpm with 480 pound-feet of torque at 3.250 rpm. This is a feature for Expedition Platinum. If we compare Expedition Platinum and General Motors with its 6.2-liter V-8, we will see Ford's advantage and pre-drive.
A refreshed EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 with more power and torque self discipline the 2018 Expedition and the six-speed programmed has been supplanted by another 10-speed unit that initially observed obligation in the F-150 Raptor. Anticipate that the 2018 Expedition will have the capacity to tow more payload and have a bigger freight limit than the SUV it replaces.
Accessible elements incorporate calfskin upholstery, Ford's Sync 3 infotainment framework, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto similarity, a wifi problem area, a back seat stimulation framework, a 12-speaker B&O Play sound framework, an all encompassing sunroof, and another propelled payload supervisor that components a rack that gives proprietors a chance to tweak the space behind the third line.
The NHTSA and IIHS haven't crash tried the 2018 Expedition. Dynamic wellbeing components and driver helps, for example, programmed crisis braking, forward impact cautioning, versatile journey control, path takeoff cautioning, and path keeping help are accessible.
We haven't driven the 2018 Ford Expedition yet however we anticipate that it will be speedier and more fit than the model it replaces. Since it's lighter, the new Expedition may likewise be more productive and handle better. Platinum models will be more rich with chrome emphasizes, 22-inch cleaned combination wheels, and sewed calfskin upholstery.
The 2018 Ford Expedition is the third vehicle to utilize an aluminum-serious engineering, following the Ford F-150 and Super Duty trucks.
Ford has not discharged estimating for the 2018 Ford Expedition, but rather we anticipate that that will come nearer to its four-quarter 2017 on special date. Ford will keep the Expedition aggressive in the market against its long-term rivals at GM. By the by, estimating will without a doubt ascend to make up for the additional innovation. As of now the 2017 Expedition conveys a beginning cost of $46,225. Decked out, a present Expedition can cost upwards of $70,000 – coordinating that of GMC's range-topping Yukon XL Denali.
The 2018 Ford Expedition will come in four well-known trim levels, including XLT, Limited, and Platinum. A XL trim will be accessible to armada clients like law authorization and crisis administrations. While settling on the more extended wheelbase Expedition MAX, each of the four trim levels will be interested in retail clients.

What I liked about Bernie Sanders was that he never claimed the victim status. He was the only one among the leading candidates who resisted the temptation. We didn't hear how he was a victim of antisemitism, ageism, foreign powers, powerless foreigners, or prejudice against balding men.
In the meantime, Trump pouted like he was competing for the position of the campus leader of "We Are Oppressed by Life" student organization. And Hillary made herself look ridiculous claiming she was a victim of sexism when sexism was the reason she had become the establishment candidate. I still supported her over Bernie, as everybody here knows, but she reminds me of union-busting factory owners who claim to be Marxist.
In the end, we had to choose between two very wealthy people who competed for victim status.

Despite the pushback and a slow start with compliance, the city's lead ordinance won't be evicted from the Toledo's Municipal Code any time soon.
Passed by Toledo City Council last August, the ordinance— which requires lead-safe certificates for buildings built before 1978 with one to four rental units— has drawn the ire of some landlords and at least one area state representative. The law was designed as a safeguard against lead exposure for children, not as a penalty for landlords.
Merrin lashes out
The most noteworthy pushback on the ordinance came from the Ohio House of Representatives this spring, when Rep. Derek Merrin (R-Monclova) added an amendment to the state operating budget that would have nullified the Toledo's lead ordinance. The amendment was designed to maintain the status quo, mandating the state— not the local health department— to oversee lead issues in Toledo and elsewhere across the state. Ohio's House of Representatives passed the amendment, while the Ohio Senate later rejected it.
In May, Merrin posted his position online stating "Let's start with a simple fact: Toledo's law is unconstitutional. It targets a small minority of property owners and treats them unequally under the law."
Merrin, who declined to comment for this article, wrote in his online article that larger apartment complexes were intentionally left out of the ordinance. "At least one Toledo official owns an apartment complex, which was purposefully provided an exemption," it stated.
City officials say the smaller, older units were the focus of the ordinance quite simply because that's where the lead is.
State funding support
The city has received support on lead matters.
First in late June, when the state senate moved to provide up to $150,000 annually in matching funds over the next two years to Toledo in its effort to combat the lead problem, specifically in the "historic south neighborhoods of Toledo."
On Monday July 17, Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, City of Toledo Director of Neighborhoods Bonita Bonds and federal Housing and Urban Development officials announced the availability of $2.9 million in federal grants for lead hazard-related residential repairs. $2.5 million is for lead-related improvements and $400,000 is set aside for other environmental hazards, such as mold. Pamela E. Ashby, Director of HUD's Cleveland Field Office explained that HUD awards Lead- Based Paint Hazard Control (LBPHC) and Healthy Homes grants to local governments in a continuous effort to keep families and their children safe from lead-based paint and other home health and safety hazards.
People can call the Department of Neighborhoods now at 419-245-1400 to inquire about the grant resources.
Toledo was allocated $2.2 million from HUD in 2012, which was administered through the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department, and 111 homes were remediated.
"Toledo is a leader in the state in creating a new law to prevent lead poisoning in the City, and is working toward lead safe homes for all of our children. This is very welcome news that we have now received support from HUD to help protect Toledo families from lead-based paint hazards," said Mayor Hicks-Hudson.
Deadlines extended
The lead ordinance, passed in September 2016, required all affected buildings to be in compliance within a year's time. Approximately 50,000 buildings in Toledo are affected by this ordinance. In April— with about 100 properties in compliance— that deadline was extended with deadlines over the next few years, based on the greatest risks of lead exposure. The first deadline is now June 30, 2018, with deadlines for properties deemed less dangerous in 2019 and 2020. There are now 85 inspectors registered to do the ordinance required lead-safety inspections.
Despite the slow start with lead ordinance compliance, Toledo-Lucas County Health Department lead safety supervisor, Josh Niese, see the compliance process picking up momentum as the months roll by. "We've set up the infrastructure, providing education, built up a workforce of people that could do the inspections. Our organization is committed to the success of the program."
As of July 28, 2017, David Welch, Director of Environmental Health & Community Services at the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department, reports that 234 properties are registered as having passed the lead inspection.
Once a property as passed the inspection, which costs $300-$400 on average, it will receive either a one, three of six-year certificate. One-year certificates are afforded to LMHA Section-8 houses, which fall into a one-year category by law. Three-year certificates are afforded to homes that have previously failed the lead inspection. Six-year certificates are given to properties that immediately pass. Currently, 57 properties have a one-year, three have a three-year, and 132 have a six-year certificate.
"The City of Toledo's lead safe ordinance is to make a property lead-safe, not lead-free, explains Welch, who thinks the recent change to the amendment, affording landlords more time, is a good thing. "The change to the amendment is positive. Now, you have three different time frames available, so it's a good way to stretch this out and to try to get all of the property owners within a year is just a lot of work to be done. It not only helps us but provides landlords with multiple properties more time to get everything done."
How do you get the lead out?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enacted laws in 2010 designed to prevent contamination from lead-based paints. With simple testing, you can determine the presence of lead-based paint in a home and there are several options for removing or protecting the paint. To do it safely, it is crucial to work with a contractor who is certified in lead paint removal and can determine the best abatement strategy.
Encapsulation, or encasement, involves brushing or rolling on a specially-made coating to create a watertight bond to seal in the paint. Is the simplest and most affordable method, but least effective. Opening and closing doors and windows may eventually wear off the coating. Encapsulation products start at about $50 per gallon. In 1,200- to 2,000-sq. ft. home, it will cost $800 to $1,400, not including labor.
Removal approaches vary but often include using a wire brush or wet hand scraping with liquid paint removers. Contractors often wet sand surfaces with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum. Sometimes, paint can be stripped off with a low-temperature heat gun. Using open flame burning, torching, machine sanding without a HEPA attachment, abrasive blasting or power washing are all forbidden. On average, the EPA estimates that professional lead-based paint removal costs about $8 to $15 per square foot or about $9,600 to $30,000 for a 1,200- to 2,000-sq. ft. house. The average removal project costs about $10,000.

CBDa, RAW CANNABIS AND DECARBOXYLATION
CBD and CBDa? What is the difference?
It goes without saying that these days most people have heard of CBD and all its potential uses? Everyone seems to be talking about it and promoting it and this is great, but while a lot of medical and media attention has been on the qualities of the cannabis compound known as CBD, its acidic precursor (CBDa) is now gaining popularity as well.
So what is CBDa?
It is the raw compound, known as cannabidiolic acid, contained within the cannabis plant. CBD is the derivative form, resulting when heat is applied to CBDa and it becomes CBD. For this reason CBD and CBDa have very similar properties, as CBDa is the acidic precursor to CBD.
CBDa differs from CBD in some interesting ways though....
For starters CBDa is raw and acidic and is usually obtained by juicing or cold pressing the raw plant leaves or just consuming them in salads or on their own. CBD however is usually heated in a variety of ways such as baking, being burnt when smoked or just being heated when vaped. Neither CBD or CBDa are psychoactive and can be consumed in large quantities without danger of toxicity.
How to use CBDa
Unfortunately most people will find it hard to gain regular access to high quality fresh cannabis that is low in THC, for juicing or to eat. (Although we recommend you try them if you get the chance!) So the best way round this is to use a concentrated cold processed extract to gain all the same benefits in an easy to use form. Our CBDa based products contain the majority of the same raw compounds as raw juiced cannabis, but in a simple to administer way.
The "Entourage Effect"
The health benefits of CBDa indicate that it works well in conjunction with the other cannabinoids, including CBD, in what is known as the "entourage effect." This is a type of holistic approach where the sum of the parts has a greater effect than when used individually or when all forms of the plant work together for even greater efficacy. It is for this reason that all our CBDa products contain almost equal amounts of CBD. To further maximise the benefits of the entourage effect.
Our CBDa Products
With any plant based remedy it is essential to only use plants that are free of pesticides and other contaminants. This is no different with cannabis use.

Counting Beans or Creating Change
Are synagogue leaders too focused on the synagogue as a business?
I think the answer to this question is yes. Board discussions too often spend a great deal of time on developing new streams of income for the synagogue. Dues generate 45% of the synagogue's income, religious school generates 10%. I counsel synagogue leaders on ways to grow their fundraising percentage from 12% and increasing their endowment fund so it generates more than 7% of the budget.
I have been at numerous synagogue board meetings where the discussion regarding the early childhood program focuses more on the income generated for the synagogue rather than on how students' families are being integrated into the synagogue community and becoming congregants.
A few years ago – and even today-conversations about ways to "monetize the building" were happening at many board meetings. Let's do something with the classrooms and other meetings spaces that are vacant all day. Make the synagogue a place that congregants will want to hold B'nai Mitzvah and wedding celebrations for the primary reason that it will generate $1500 in rental income for each occasion. Make an exclusive arrangement with a caterer because it will generate income. Thrift Shops, Coffee shops –the list of business endeavors discussed by synagogue boards goes on.
Or let the synagogue become a Bingo parlor every Wednesday night.
Rabbis Lawrence and Noa Kushner in their recent article "The Tent Peg Business, Revisited" reiterate the purpose of synagogue life: to make a place for serious Jewish life. The business of the synagogue is to create Jews and to build a strong sacred community while doing that.
Like Rabbis Kushner, I believe synagogue boards are too focused on "bean counting". The Kushners refer to synagogue management – maintaining the building, raising money, and the leadership development of the synagogue board – as secondary acts.
When synagogue boards are focused more monetizing the building and other ways to generate income rather than on "doing Jewish" and community building, the synagogue's mission is lost.
Board meetings are really an opportunity to combine "doing Jewish" with the leadership, management, and fiduciary stuff. I wonder how many synagogue board meetings – or any synagogue committee or task force – begin with evening worship. How many board meetings have text study as the first agenda item each month? The D'var Torah is nice, but when it is just a board member making a presentation without discussion, it seems obligatory and unrelated to the rest of the meeting's agenda items.
Who will ever want to become a member of a synagogue board if such work – the business of the synagogue – is characterized as "secondary acts"? There are some realities that cannot be ignored. A synagogue doing business in any state has to be incorporated. Incorporation requires a board and certain organizational responsibilities so that the monies are managed responsibly.
And there is the reality that clergy and other synagogue staff has to be paid, along with all of the other vendors that are necessary for any operating entity (utilities, purchasing of office supplies, equipment, furniture, and security to name just a few). Board members have to be bean counters some of the time because that is a part of their fiduciary responsibility.
A responsibility of being on a synagogue board should be to generate "disruptive ideas" about "doing Jewish" and building community. The status quo is certainly safer. And change is never easy.
Albert Einstein once said "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." Synagogue leaders need to be charged with generating ideas and encouraged to create change.
Then maybe the whole synagogue board experience wouldn't seem – as some say – so much like having root canal, but rather a more meaningful experience.

Surveys 1, 3 and 8 were undertaken each year of my doctoral research from 2011-2013, and the data from these surveys can be found online. The research undertaken through the Twitter platform aimed in part to explore the subjects of credibility, reputation and trust regarding archaeological information shared on the social media platform. These are critical issues when dealing with the public dissemination of archaeological news and information online.
Credibility has been described as the perceived quality of information by the user, and consists of "two key elements: trustworthiness (well-intentioned) and expertise (knowledgeable)" (Lucassen and Schraagen 2011, 1233). Reputation is a "fluid, contingent, and precarious attribute generated entirely by the perception, attention and approval of others" (Hearn 2010, 423), and maintaining a positive reputation involves a continuous process and performance of image-management (Rodden 2006, 75). The active creation and management of personality and self-expression on social media platforms raises a number of issues around interpersonal perception, reputation management and controlled identity. No direct research has yet been undertaken into photographic or biographic representation on Twitter, and the image is only one small part of a very short biography. Unlike Facebook or blogs, the Twitter profile can carry only one picture (Twitter Help Center 2014). Users can choose an image that they feel best represents their communicated self or opt for the default Twitter avatar, which is a white egg shape on a coloured background. The range and style of the profile images is vast: individuals or groups, close-ups, blurred images, symbols, organisational logos, cartoons, or avatars, and "self-presentation on Twitter takes place through ongoing "tweets" and conversations with others, rather than static profiles. It is primarily textual, not visual" (Marwick and Boyd 2010, 116). The importance of the process of evaluating authenticity can be observed during the decision to exercise reciprocity after being followed by another Twitter user. Twitter's account profile facility is limited and many account holders prefer to maintain a high degree of anonymity, using nicknames and impersonal avatars.
As evidenced from the three years of survey results, many people using and interacting on archaeological social media platforms are professional archaeologists or researchers; many users work in the academic field, and the authenticity of, and trust in, archaeological news can be an emotive subject. The evaluation of information credibility online is far less simple than in the pre-Internet era — the user is frequently left to judge the veracity of the information discovered online themselves. However, recent studies have shown that there are discrepancies between what users consider relevant to ascertain information credibility, and that used by search engines such as Google and Bing (Schwarz and Morris 2011; Morris et al. 2012). Those seeking credible information rely on their experience and expertise with the subject, information literacy and critical awareness, or experience of the information provider, in order to form a judgement on the accuracy and validity of the information retrieved (Lucassen and Schraagen 2011). Research by Lucassen et al. (2013), unsurprisingly, showed that people with some knowledge of the topic evaluate the credibility of information found online differently from those with no prior experience or understanding.
Twitter can rapidly update information and facilitate swift analysis and interpretation of events far faster even than traditional media websites (Castillo et al. 2011). Yet, the speed and churn of the Twitter time-line, and the increasing use of mobile phone connections to update the platform (Twitter Advertising Blog 2013), may facilitate the spread of misinformation, and the issue of ascertaining credibility within online micro-blogging is an important aspect to consider within the paradigm of asserting archaeological authority in an online context. The Twitter platform has also been the focus of research into information credibility (Kang et al. 2012; Ikegami et al. 2013; An et al. 2013). The work of Castillo et al. (2011) suggested that Twitter users estimated the level of credibility of information exchanged via the website using several markers of believability; the emotional reactions and sentiments of users generated by certain topics; the level of questioning of topics by users sharing or retweeting information; the external sources cited, the existence and authenticity of an external source and URL; the numbers of followers, the number of Tweets sent, and the longevity of a Twitter account. The research concludes that credible news items "… tend to include URLs … have deep propagation trees … are propagated through authors that have previously written a large number of messages, originate at a single or a few users in the network, and have many re-posts…" (Castillo et al. 2011, 5). The asynchronous nature of the Twitter feed allows users time to consult external sources to verify information shared via Twitter (Schrock 2010, 2) and research the veracity of the information supplied: "Twitter feeds may be perceived as a stream of interesting titbits of information that are quickly evaluated and easily ignored…" (Schrock 2010, 17). While misinformation is not a new Internet phenomenon by any means, the use of a social media platform for political propaganda, marketing, spam and malicious behaviour could seriously damage the credibility of information publicised via Twitter. However, as Schrock (2010, 17) points out, 'for the Twitter environment there may be few risks to being deceived, other than the occasional spurious status update'.
"…projects [should] consider how influence and reach affects the longevity of information circulation, since reused and recycled content can last longer than expected online"
The responses to the three annual Twitter and Archaeology online surveys, which discussed the perception of archaeological authority and the need for accuracy when tweeting, are very interesting in the light of the literature on Twitter as a credible news source. Results from these surveys show that the limitations of the account profile mean that what users say on Twitter, how often and with whom they interact is of far greater importance to the perception of the authority and influence than the contents of the short biography and accompanying avatar or image. Personal and professional reputation and organisational affiliation, weak ties, the perception of reliability, the length of time the source has held a Twitter account, influence on the archaeological sector in 'real life', as well as biographical information found elsewhere online are all important factors in the perception of trustworthiness of both the information shared through Twitter and the individual source account.
For many of the Twitter and Archaeology survey respondents, a weak tie connection and the possession of social capital, as defined by Granovetter (1973; 1982) and Putnam (2000), including familiarity with the work of the connection, is central to the perception of authority, overriding the relative anonymity offered by the Twitter platform. Where Twitter users do not have personal acquaintanceship with the source, the data demonstrated that users will actively search for more information about a person or academic affiliation or professional status through the use of a search engine, in order to ascertain the reliability of the information provided. Archaeological tweeters are rigorous fact-checkers — checking sources of information, biographies and personal and institutional websites. Comments on this subject from the surveys include:
"I will assess the source of the information in terms of who the individual/organisation is and try to determine where the information for their tweets is coming from"
"…visiting the very source of news/links, checking what else people posted and wrote, whether they're acquainted with topic and/or where they work, for how long…"
"Follow-up search in search engines to check the veracity, as well as discussion with friends"
The extent that the potential reach and audience of a user's shared information Twitter can be vast, and is exercised through the simple act of receiving a retweet, has a number of implications for the use of social media platforms for dissemination of authoritative information and publicity. This is an important yet imperceptible example of why an appreciation of the requirements and abilities of the imagined audience around issues of information literacy and information credibility during the production of archaeological information online is essential. It is also fundamental that public archaeology projects consider how influence and reach affects the longevity of information circulation, since reused and recycled content can last longer than expected online.

I just got my hands on the footage Josh shot at Travis's CD release show, and though some of what I remember being the best performances of the night weren't filmed (I was really hoping to hear the version of "Wind Chimes Sing with Her" we did with me singing lead and Travis harmonizing, and the version of "Peculiar Love" with him singing instead of me, effectively swapping songs), this one was an interesting surprise.
At the time I wasn't sure how successful it was. Felt like my voice wasn't at its best, so I made a point of not singing as much backup as I normally would, and I wasn't sure how much to go off on the piano. Hearing it now, it works a lot better than I thought it did, and I wish I'd thrown in more harmonies, because they sound better than I thought they did at the time too. Those are some pretty high notes without relying on falsetto to get there.
It's not as climactic, layered, or mantric as the album version. That was going to be pretty impossible to duplicate. But for two guys playing live — one of them using a loop pedal he isn't entirely comfortable with and the other playing a digital piano while wondering what makes Sammy run — I think it turned out pretty nice. Kind of wish I'd gone a little wilder on the keys, but hindsight is like a Welsh Corgi that enjoys licking your elbows just for something to do.
I was out of commission for several days thanks to ever-present sleep issues, but I've fixed that once again, for what must be about the nine hundredth time now. So, for the time being, I should return to my normal state of thuggery and occasional productiveness. You've been warned.

John 19:1-16
2 Chronicles 29
Psalm 85
|Listen to the Bible
Thoughts and Commentary on Today's ReadingIn John 19, we read of the trial and death of Yahshua. There is no more powerful sermon or story. This is the defining moment of the whole human race - unequivocally portraying the love and character of God for all time.
How deep does the Blood reach, which He shed for you and me? Deeper than the lowest depths of hell - for no soul who will repent is beyond its cleansing reach.
How far does the Cross go? It spans all time and space forevermore.
How high does the reality of Calvary reach with its testament of the Love of God? Even to the stars!... As Louie Giglio powerfully explains in this video: How Great is God?

Happy birthday to the Ruthless Research blog!
March 12, 2012
Can you believe it, I have been blogging for a whole year? Wow! I've made 35 posts in that time, the top five most viewed being:
- What I think about the Scottish referendum question
- Calculators and clipboards – my childhood dream?
- 5 reasons why researchers are not as bad as you think
- Research consultant? But what do you actually do?
- Sugging, frugging, and other ways to write a bad questionnaire
My busiest day ever was 1st Feb 2012, I get most of my hits from Facebook and Twitter, and the search terms most often landing on my blog are 'bad questionnaire' and 'map of research'.
Thanks to all who read my musings, and thanks to Ian and Andy for persuading me to give it a go. I've enjoyed it, and in some cases it has been quite therapeutic to
have a bit of a rant voice my opinion!
If you've missed out on any of my past blog posts, please do have a flick through (they start here) and see if anything catches your eye.

Club Dread
Majetic's album Club Dread. Available here on Clear Colored LP, Standard LP, CD and Cassette.
Club Dread is not club music. The production on Majetic's new album alludes to various dance genres but never quite embodies them. Similarly, the characters populating its ten twilit tracks orbit the nightlife without taking to the dance floor. Amorphous and peripheral, it's music for the sidewalks adjacent the club—a score for the bittersweet comedowns.
Dystopian tension is present throughout Club Dread, and Majetic's vision of the club is less defined by paradise than it is by vulnerability. But even as the album combs the margins of tragedy, it feels devoted to healing. In the closing track, Majetic captures this quiet conviction, singing "Club Dread like nothing bleeds / like baby gets what baby needs / like violence couldn't find us underground."

Hi All, I have a build based on the old lifehacker guide (main specs below) and was looking to add a usb 3.0 card. I recently tried a Orico PVU3 card based on a post I had read of someone with a similar system. After installing some kexts, my system recognized the card but it didn't mount anything and actually caused a power failure on my hard drive (a very expensive mistake because my wife had important family photos on there that were not backed up and now I have to cough up money for clean room data recovery). If someone else has a recommendation for a USB 3.0 card that I could add to this older system that would be compatible with 10.10.3 I would appreciate it! Thanks. [h=1][/h]

The aim of this guide is to support contracting authorities, local decision-makers and their partners to develop their sanitation service by providing them with decision-making tools and practical methodological approaches. This guide will help these stakeholders determine whether non-conventional sewerage really is the most appropriate option for the area concerned. If this option is selected, it will also help them coordinate their project effectively and provide them with a clear understanding of the management methods that can be used and of the skills and know-how required.
There are two main types of sanitation system that can be used to meet household demand for sanitation services in developing countries: on-site sanitation, whereby individual facilities are built for each household; and conventional sewerage, such as that used in many towns and cities. However, in some areas, installing these types of sanitation is not always possible and alternative sewerage systems have had to be developed. These systems, called 'non-conventional sewerage' in this guide (and which include both simplified and settled sewers), overcome some of the constraints associated with conventional sewerage (smaller diameter pipes, which are laid at shallower depths, and simplified connections, etc.), which results in a lower investment cost. Non-conventional sewerage services also differ from conventional sewerage by virtue of their scope (covering a residential area rather than the whole town), allocation of responsibilities and the management method used.

Movie Review: 'Rocking the Couch' is a Dark, Disturbing Look at Sexism and ExploitationFebruary 28, 2019
Even with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement shining a light on sexual harassment and outright assault in the film industry, 'Rocking the Couch' is still a disturbing eye-opener of a film. In fact, for all the high profile entertainers and powerful individuals in the headlines over the last year or so this film will still surprise viewers with the ugly truth of just how long this kind of behavior has been going on.
There is a case from 1992, against talent agent Wallace Kaye, that is tackled in the film and it a great example of what has been going on for a long time. Twelve brave women took this man to court and there the horrid details of what he had been up to were revealed. What is even more alarming was how the union basically fluffed the reports off, telling the women they were risking their careers if they came forward with these accusations. You would think things would have changed after this but here we in 2019 and it's obvious nothing really did.
The movie begins with flashy headlines and images of what has gone on the last couple of years, with people such as Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, but quickly moves into what has gone on in the past. Actresses, recounting haunting experiences from different points in their careers, recall what happened to them in some very emotionally charged moments. The incidents themselves were bad enough, scarring most of these women for life, but the lack of interest and support for them was mindboggling.
It is interesting to note that while the problem of exploitation is mostly dominated by males in these stories, Rocking the Couch does take time to address the role women played in terms of the code of silence. The movie also addresses the ugly fact that some women willingly accepted the sexism and exploitation as part of getting ahead in the business. This does not excuse what happened to these women but kudos for the film for having the guts to look at the issue from every conceivable angle.
There is no doubt, however, where the film lays a lot of the blame and that is on the unions. While these mental and physical assaults were happening the actresses had almost no support from the union, who seemed intent on turning a blind eye instead of standing up for its members and getting their collective hands dirty. It makes one wonder what would have many years ago if someone in the union had the guts to take a stand and shine a light on the huge problem that was plaguing the industry.
I would have liked more from the male's perspective in the industry as it is only touched upon here and while it gave food for thought it would have benefited from some more conversation. I don't mean in a way to excuse what happened but to show more examples of what happened to them, or situations from their point of view. It could have been a fascinating counter-point to what this movie was about and allowed people to pose even more questions.
In the end, writer/director Minh Collins does a great job in showing many examples of what has gone on for years in Hollywood and how it was pretty much ignored by everyone. These women suffered through things that no woman should and here's hoping their stories will help shine an even brighter light on a problem that still exists today.

I also offer professional photo retouching services to those who have unedited photos that they would like retouched. Whether it is a photograph for an editorial, headshot, and or family portrait I can edit and retouch the photos to remove the flaws that you want removed.
My approach in photo retouching is to accent the beauty and focus on the image, while still retaining texture and fine details. The trick is to edit a photo to make it look almost flawless without looking "photo-shopped". I do recommend this primarily for model portfolios, headshots, senior pictures, and publication editorials. Not so much for personal photos because maybe you want to keep the memories of some flaws... After all that's what makes us human beings.

Yvonne Nelson's daughter Ryn Roberts is gradually growing and she seems to be adapting the stylish nature of her mother.
The latest mother and daughter photo from the actress's camp confirms this as the two of them have been spotted rocking a similar fashion style.
In the photo sighted by YEN.com.gh, Yvonne was seen wearing a black and white pullover over a pair of black jeans. Ryn, in a similar style, wore a shiny pink jacket over a blue pair of jeans.
Interestingly, the mother and daughter matched their outfits with a similar pair of Adidas sneakers as they took majestic steps along a beach.

The photo, YEN.com.gh has gathered, was shared from the Cleethorpes Beach, England where Yvonne and her daughter are currently on a visit.

Since the emergence of the photo on social media, fans have been applauding the actress and her daughter.
@priscillanelson9507 was awed by the cuteness of Ryn: "Awwww daughter so cute just can't wait for my little girl to start walking."
@princekennedygh thought the mummy and daughter moment was cute: "The cutest and coolest thing ever❤"
@nanaamakrash5 agreed that Ryn was a cute baby: "The baby is really cute"
@_nokada was rather interested in Yvonne's Christian Dior branded bag: "Who walks around holding a bag in this manner?? YN!! I spy a designer bag with my little eye."

This is not the first time a photo of the toddler has excited fans of Yvonne Nelson and other social media users.
In February 2019, a photo of Ryn giving a heartwarming smile as she tried to take her first steps got similar positive reactions on social media.
Born in October 2017, Ryn's father is known as Jamie Roberts, a professional photographer.

Dodging Arctic ice in make-up and pearls
Jane Maufe sailed the Northwest Passage at 68 with an old flame
One night during her pioneering transit of the Northwest Passage Jane Maufe woke up feeling uneasy. The ship's captain, David Scott Cowper, who was the only other person on board, had checked the radar before going to sleep and detected no boats or icebergs anywhere near them. He set the alarm to go off in three hours.
Now Maufe was awake 20 minutes before the alarm. "It was almost as if I had a sixth sense," she says. "I climbed out of my bunk and went up the companionway and looked out, and there dead ahead was an enormous iceberg glistening in the moonlight. Very, very close. A lot of debris had come off it and the sea on both sides was covered in bobbing

Synopsis of REGenableMED Policy Briefing: Manufacturing and regenerative medicine
REGenableMED is an ESRC-funded project examining the dynamics of innovation within the field of regenerative medicine and recently produced a policy briefing on manufacturing in this field.
The REGenableMED project (University of York; York, UK) publishes a series of short Policy Briefings related to its ESRC-funded project on regenerative medicine, including a recent one related to manufacturing and scale-up. This Policy Briefing shows how scale-up will pose radically different challenges to the 'Fordist' model seen in the mass production of drugs. There are particular difficulties being experienced in adapting the conventional chemicals-based regulatory system to biological products and in developing standards and guidelines for cell manufacturing.
The report recognizes the role that the new Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult Centre (Stevenage, UK) will play but also asks the important question of how will this relate to the regional Centers for Cell and Gene Therapy Treatment that are being advocated by a November 2016 report of the Advanced Therapies Manufacturing Taskforce, a group launched by the Medicines Manufacturing Industry Partnership (UK). The Medicines Manufacturing Industry Partnership was established jointly by the UK Government and the biopharmaceutical industry in 2014.
Among a number of policy recommendations, two are especially important as they appear to be off the radar at the moment. Work needs to be done to clarify the organizational structures that might be developed to reduce manufacturing costs while maintaining quality and safety. Additionally, scenarios for the likely size and profiles of clinical populations treatable through different manufacturing modalities and scales should be developed to support national planning.

Advertisers must think the general public is made up of idiots. Who knows, though; maybe they're right.
"Anti-Virus" HDMI Cable
I saw a post on Reddit earlier this week called "Found this today at work…" (picture on the right). It's an HDMI cable with the following feature:
"100% Mylar" double shield 1.3c grade cable with anti-virus protection to reduce virus noises and to obtain perfect image transmission.
Yes, an HDMI cable with "anti-virus protection" that also makes your viruses less noisy. I looked online and it appears to be a legitimate advertised feature of this product. o_O
Detergent Advertises Basic Math
I saw another instance of facepalm-worthy advertising on a box of detergent the other day. It was a box of 180 load laundry detergent that boldly advertised "50% more detergent." Well, 50% more detergent than what? I looked at the fine print on the box and it said, "vs. 120 load size." Uff da.
"Technology" Catch Word
If you've seen any commercials within the last few months, I'm sure you've heard the "technology" catch word. I got so overwhelmed by it recently that I started to make a list of the commercials I heard it in. Here is my partial list:
- Nicoderm CQ – "smart control technology"
- Mazda – "with revolutionary Skyactive technology"
- One Touch – "double sure technology"
- Bridgestone – "tire technologies" & "serenity technology"
- Bounty – "trap and lock technology"
- Degree – "with motion-sense technology"
- Pronamel – "gel-to-foam technology"
- Secret Outlast Deodorant – "odor-protection technology"
- Well Tabs – "positive mood technology"
- General Electric – "advanced cooking technology"
Here are a couple more that don't use "technology," but are amusing nonetheless:
- Bayer Advanced Asprin – "re-engineered with micro particles"
- Space Bags – "you must be at least 18 years old or older"

There is a state in the United States that has adopted a very thoughtful and cautious approach to unmanned aircraft. It is a state where the Governor, for two years in a row, has held his ground against a legislature that that would put broad restrictions on commercial drone operations. It is a state where the Governor has wisely stayed away from a fight with the FAA and the Federal Government over control of the National Airspace System. That state is . . . California??
Yes, the state that is known for high taxes and massive state regulations, led by someone who, back in the 1970s, had a reputation as one of the biggest tax, spend, and regulate Democrats, has blocked a number of very restrictive UAS laws that were passed by the state legislature.
This year, there were six UAS bills that made it to Governor Brown's desk, but only two were signed. The enacted laws grant immunity from civil damage claims against any first responder that damage a UAS that is interfering with their emergency services work, such as fighting wild fires, and makes it a misdemeanor for persons to use a UAS to interfere with first responder's activities.
The bills that the Governor refused to sign included:
- An attempt to make it a crime to use a drone in the commission of other crimes, such violating a protective order or facilitating the delivery of contraband to jails.
- Making it unlawful to launch, land or operate a drone without a permit on lands managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or to use a UAS to fish or hunt.
- Required anyone whose UAS was involved in an accident to immediately land the drone and identify himself or herself to the injured person or property owner.
- Required drones to be equipped with geofencing systems to keep the UAS "from flying within any area prohibited by local, state, or federal law."
Of course, this comes on the heels of Governor Brown's refusal to sign a bill into law lastyear that would have made anyone who flew a drone over another person's property below 350′ guilty of trespass and liable for damages. The statement issued by the Governor at that time called the attempt to block out this large section of airspace as ill advised and expressed concerns for its impact on the growth of the industry.
It is interesting to note that the UAS and consumer industry as a whole spent a great deal of time and effort to keep the legislature from passing these laws in the first place. Apparently the pressure the legislators feel from their constituents outweighs concerns for the progress of the industry and California's position as a leader in developing this technology. If it were not for Governor Brown, the "drone climate" in California would be dramatically different.

Five points about purpose
1. You are not born knowing what it is you are meant to do. It is a journey of discovery.
2. Having a purpose that gives meaning to your life simply makes the choices in the present much easier.
3. You are not born knowing what to do. But, if you explore, as all children do naturally, your preferences, likes and dislikes begin to emerge. Exploration is the key to learning, learning builds knowledge, knowledge is the fuel of purpose.
4. Sharing a purpose with others is inspiring. It brings out the best in human behaviour.
5. Creating shared purpose takes time. If we take time to ensure everyone is on board with the purpose, then when you shift to action it is relatively seamless, it happens faster, with less hassle.
This is an excerpt from One World AtLast – A Manifesto for the Modern Revolution written by Fabian Dattner
