Mickey can currently be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
The announcement is reproduced in full below:
February 11, 2020
Mickey Wade has been named the director of the Fusion Energy Division (FED) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, effective April 2020. Wade recently served as deputy director of the Magnetic Fusion Energy Division for General Atomics and has extensive experience in fusion energy research, programmatic development and strategic planning.
In his new role, Wade will lead FED within ORNL's Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate. The division is developing the understanding required for an attractive fusion energy source through domestic and international research collaborations, pursuing near-term applications to close the fusion fuel cycle and mitigate plasma disruptions, and developing solutions to materials and fusion nuclear science challenges presented by the harsh fusion environment. The organization also supports the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment. As part of his role, Wade will work closely with the U.S. ITER Project Office, which is based at ORNL.
"We are very excited that Mickey is joining ORNL and NSED. His leadership in fusion energy will make him an excellent addition to the organization," said Alan Icenhour, associate laboratory director for NSED. "As interest is growing across the United States and internationally, there are tremendous opportunities for ORNL to lead fusion energy technology development."
In 15 years at General Atomics, Wade also served as the DIII-D national fusion program director and DIII-D experimental science division director. From 1994-2005, he was a senior scientist at ORNL. He was also a leader in developing support and advocacy for ITER and served as co-chair of the U.S. Magnetic Research Strategic Directions Community Workshops.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to East Tennessee and ORNL. It's a special place that provided a strong foundation for my career - first as a graduate student, then as a post-doctoral fellow and eventually a staff scientist," said Wade. "Throughout my career, I've been blessed to be a part of several major cutting-edge programs. I believe opportunities exist to develop new cutting-edge programs that tackle some of the most challenging aspects of fusion energy development and that ORNL can play a key role in that development."
Over more than 30 years, Wade has written or co-written more than 300 publications and been involved in numerous fusion energy community activities. He was named a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2010 for his outstanding contributions to burning plasma physics, impurity transport and the development of advanced tokamak scenarios.
Wade received a bachelor's degree in nuclear science and engineering from Virginia Tech and master's and doctoral degrees in nuclear engineering from Georgia Tech.

Mining-sector executives dominate top-paid list
Executives who work for companies in the mining and metals sector nabbed 44 spots on the list. Add in the seven execs who work for companies that are in the oil and gas industry, and the four who are in the forest-products sector, and more than half of all listed top decision-makers work at companies in resources-related fields.
"We say all the time that B.C. is a world-class mining jurisdiction," said Bryan Cox, CEO of the Mining Association of BC. "We are a hub for mining. It shows in those numbers."
When BIV asked Cox if he could guess which two mining companies each employ five executives who placed on the list, he correctly guessed Teck Resources Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G; NYSE:GG) – two companies that perennially rank high on BIV's list of the top 100 public companies in the province, which is based on revenue.
While Teck and Goldcorp are known for operating mining operations globally, the former is much more active within B.C.'s boundaries.
Goldcorp owns the closed Equity Silver project in northern B.C. but has no operating projects in the province. Instead, the company is active in countries such as Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
In contrast, Cox said, Teck has five steelmaking coal mines in the Elk Valley region, as well as the Highland Valley Copper mine and the Trail smelter.
"Many of the companies that are headquartered here are doing business globally," Cox said. "We have the best engineering companies. We have the best legal services. We have the best environmental services to access. If you headquarter here you have access to all of that world-leading professional services that we have in B.C."
Two mining companies each have four executives who placed on BIV's list: Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (TSX, NYSE:WPM) and Leagold Mining Corp. (TSX:LMC). NovaGold (TSX:NG) has three executives listed while eight mining companies have two executives in the rankings.
"Not only are there great-paying jobs in Vancouver, on the corporate side, but there are jobs at the mine site as well," Cox said.
"[Mining] jobs are the highest paying of those in the natural resources sector. When people think of mining, they think of what happens out in the operations, but these jobs are spread across the province and, importantly, in our major centres, like Vancouver."
In the oil and gas section of the resources sector, Methanex Corp. (TSX:MX; Nasdaq:MEOH) had the most executives on BIV's list, at four. That global company, which has operations in countries such as Chile, is the world's largest producer and supplier of methanol.
Other oil and gas companies represented in the rankings include Africa Oil Corp. (TSX:AOI), NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX:NXE) and International Petroleum Corp. (TSX:IPCO).
Forestry-sector CEOs at West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. (TSX:WFT), Interfor Corp. (TSX:IFP), Canfor Corp. (TSX:CFP) and Western Forest Products Inc. (TSX:WEF) also claim spots on the list.

The Tanuki ET (Earth Tapered) is made with Tanuki's earth series fabric. An unsanforized 18oz heavyweight slubby indigo fabric beige weft with a light brown rustic earth tone. It is made with 100% texas, californian and supima cotton blend and It has varying degrees of unevenness and bumpiness throughout the entire fabric. The Californian slub yarn by itself would break too easily when creating a fabric of the weight of the E fabric, therefore Tanuki has to combine it with the long staple supima cotton which is very strong yet soft, and makes the fabric durable and breathable. The weft yarn is reactively dyed light-beige by cheese dyeing. The warp yarn is rope-dyed with pure indigo, sulfur dye and a greencast indigo dye.
The fading potential is incredible and will showcase a variety of shades from different tones of blue, green hues and brownish undertones. These undertones are the foundation of this fabric and what the Tanuki denim makers had set out to accomplish: Earth Fabric.
The jeans are made with all the superior-quality Tanuki details such as copper buttons, Tanuki logo embroidered back pocket detail and the iconic Tanuki custom vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch.
We have selected a non-wash version for this model because we love the hand feel, slub and character of this fabric in its totally pure version. It is the only Tanuki model we have in a non-wash version.
The cut is a modern tapered fit, simple taper from the knee down with a close leg opening, still offering plenty of room in the thigh and top block with a mid-rise.
Near the back pocket there is the embroidered Tanuki 二 (Ni) logo, two parallel lines in Japanese Kanji representing the number 2. The lower line represents the past, tradition, the standard, peace. The upper line represents the future, change, strength. The red and blue colours of their logo refer to Japan's flag, honouring their roots as denim artisans.
As it is non-wash version, we highly recommend you soak the jeans in hot water before the first wear. Expect around 4cm (1.5in) of shrinkage in the waist and 6,4cm (2.5in) in the inseam when soaking so please, keep it in mind when looking for your size in the product size chart.

Pfaff Pyramid. Canadian Team Wins Road America for Second GTD Victory.
Pfaff Motorsports claimed its second consecutive victory of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD season at Road America on August 4. The first year customer team paired full-season driver Zach Robichon (Canada) with Porsche Young Professional Matt Campbell (Australia) in the No. 9 Porsche 911 GT3 R to charge to the front of the Pro-Am style class on the Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin-area track to add a second victory this season for the GT3-spec Porsche.
Like his team, the win is Robichon's second career IMSA WeatherTech victory. The Porsche Young Driver Academy graduate paired with Porsche Young Professional Dennis Olsen (Norway) at Lime Rock Park two weeks ago for the plaid-liveried car's first win. The back-to-back victories gave further credence to the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid for drivers and teams. Pfaff Motorsports, owned by Canada's largest Porsche dealer, has prepared cars in each of the stepping-stones for customer teams in North America. The Toronto-area dealer has prepared track day cars for customers as well as entered – and won titles in – the one-make IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama series before moving into the SRO Blancpain GT World Challenge America series where it won a championship with Scott Hargrove (Canada). The Steve Bortolotti-managed program took on the task of a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport in early-season Michelin Pilot Challenge races in 2019 as well as the highest step on the customer pyramid, the IMSA WeatherTech GTD class.
The drivers of the No. 9 Pfaff machine are both products of the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid as well. Campbell turned heads in 2016 winning the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia before moving into international GT3 competition. Robichon is defending IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama champion and added a string of victories last year in the GT3 Cup Challenge USA as well before moving up to GTD this year. Hargrove, who stepped out of the No. 9 race car for the last two races, also worked his way through Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada, SRO GT World Challenge America and into WeatherTech GTD. Hargrove plans to return to the cockpit for the next round at VIRginia International Raceway later in August.
In other Porsche 911 GT3 R entries, Porsche Young Professional Dennis Olsen (Norway) shared a cockpit with Anthony Imperato (Brooklyn, New York) to finish in eighth-place with the No. 91 Wright Motorsports car. The No. 73 Park Place Motorsports Porsche was involved in an accident not of its own making and was forced to retire from the event. Porsche works driver Patrick Long (Manhattan Beach, California) and Patrick Lindsey (Santa Barbara, California) were classified 15th in the GTD class.
The GT-only Round Nine of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will present the Porsche GT Team the opportunity to go for an overall victory. The Michelin GT Challenge at VIR is scheduled for August 23 – 25 at VIRginia International Raceway.
Matt Campbell, Driver, No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R.
"We had to work for it in the middle and the end of the last stint. Zach brought it in P2. He did a fantastic job bringing it from fourth [on the grid]. The Pfaff Porsche had really good pace at the start of my first stint. We knew when we caught the Lambo we just needed to conserve fuel so we could jump them on the pit stop. That is what we did and that is what really won us our race today."
Zach Robichon, Driver, No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R.
"The team at Pfaff have done a fantastic job, first with Dennis and now with Matt joining us. It is a whole new set of information for us to learn from. We have capitalized on those opportunities with them on the team. For me, I just keep learning and do what the team wants from me on the first stint."
Porsche Podium. Factory Teams Earns Eighth-Straight IMSA Podium.
The Porsche GT Team continued its string of podium results at the eighth round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium) and Earl Bamber (New Zealand) finished third in the GTLM class after a strong drive in their Porsche 911 RSR at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The podium – which marked a Porsche 911 RSR on each of race this season including five-straight victories – extended their lead in the drivers' championship.
In the two-hour and 40-minute race, Patrick Pilet (France) and Nick Tandy (Great Britain) ultimately finished in seventh-place in the sister 911 RSR factory car. In the Manufacturers' classification, Porsche holds a convincing lead with three races remaining.
The GT-only Round Nine of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will present the Porsche GT Team the opportunity to go for an overall victory. The Michelin GT Challenge at VIR is scheduled for August 23 – 25 at VIRginia International Raceway.
Steffen Höllwarth, Program Manager IMSA SportsCar Championship.
"We knew that Road America would be one of the most difficult races of the year for us. So we're very pleased with this podium result. Porsche has managed to defend its lead and Laurens and Earl have extended the gap to their pursuers even further in the drivers' championship. The team now has two weeks off. Then we'll be back in full force in Virginia."
Earl Bamber, Driver, No. 912 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR.
"Third-place on this racetrack is a great result for us. We haven't been particularly successful here in recent years. Still, we managed to further extend our lead in the drivers' classification. That was a tremendous effort from the whole team. Pitting as late as possible proved to be the key to success today."
Laurens Vanthoor, Driver, No. 912 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR.
"Road America is not our strongest circuit. We didn't have the pace to win. In this regard, we've achieved the maximum here. We came third on what is allegedly our weakest racetrack and finished in front of our toughest rivals. What's more, we have further extended our lead. That almost feels like a victory."
Patrick Pilet, Driver, No. 911 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR.
"Over the last six years, we've encountered on average four caution phases at this race in Elkhart Lake. For this reason, we had to split the timing of the pit stops to be ready for all eventualities. Unfortunately, our strategy didn't work out. Seventh-place is disappointing. We lost several points in the drivers' standings to our teammates at the top, but we're still in second. Now it's time to take a vacation. We'll strike back in Virginia."
Nick Tandy, Driver, No. 911 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR.
"Both of our cars were on different strategies. Unlike our teammates, we pitted early in anticipation of a safety car phase, which never happened. I think that must have been the first time we've competed here without a single caution."

Cabo San Lucas Fish Report – Sept. 10 & 11
Happy Monday 🙂 It is always a happy Monday in Cabo! It was a great day on the water today, the fish are a little farther out, we are having to travel about 28 miles offshore for the best bite.
Chris Smith and Mark Hahn set out this AM aboard ReelRum with Ramon and Juan. They had and exceptional day of fishing catching their limit of 10 Yellowfin, Chris caught the biggest at around 30lbs. Mark hooked into a Sailfish but lost it before he could get it to the boat.
Shawn Sullivan and Rich Quinlan were out on RedRum with Omar and Americo for the full day. They too caught their limit in Yellowfin and also caught and released a Sailfish.
Darryl Bayne and Lisa Rabon set out on El Nuevo for the day with Captain Alex and Mate Jesus. They had a lot of fun with Lisa catching & releasing her first ever billfish, a Sail and together catching 5 Yellowfin.
Rick and Ashley Gerla had an extraordinary day aboard RumRunnin with the Jesus's. They EACH caught and released a Sailfish, Ashley's was the biggest at around 120lbs. They caught 3 Yellowfin, 4 Bonita and a Dorado. Awesome day!!
The Brownsberger party with Aric & Kyle Brownsberger, Brandon Bigelow and Clint Baxter headed out on El Nuevo Redrum for their first of FOUR days fishing this Monday. These guys had the best luck today, catching 14 Yellowfin, a Dorado and Clint caught a nice 120lb Sail.
My southern friends hailing from Jacksonville, FL, Heather and David Dostie started their first of two days fishing aboard Big Papi. They had a Blue Marlin hooked, but lost it – it was nothing compared to the last time Heather caught a Blue over 700lbs! They also caught 3 Yellowfin Tuna.
John Hartmann, Joe Bilotta and David Delauder took off on RedRum for the second time with Omar & Americo. They did not have as much luck this time around, but still boated 5 Yellowfin.
Lastly, we had Gina Fant and Glenn Taylor aboard ReelRum for a 1/2 day trip. They did not have much luck as the good fishing is just too far off right now. They did manage to catch a Bonita, so at least they did not have to leave skunked!
Thank you for reading!

Christ the Believer's Husband
George Whitefield
Isaiah 54:5 – "For thy Maker is thy Husband."
Although believers by nature, are far from God, and children of wrath, even as others, yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of any man living, fully to conceive, the nearness and dearness of that relation, in which they stand to their common head. He is not ashamed to call them brethren. Behold, says the blessed Jesus in the days of his flesh, "my mother and my brethren." And again after his resurrection, "go tell my brethren." Nay sometimes he is pleased to term believers his friends. "Henceforth call I you no longer servants, but friends." "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth." And what is a friend? Why there is a friend that is nearer than a brother, nay as near as one's own soul. And "thy friend, (says God in the book of Deuteronomy) which is as thy own soul." Kind and endearing applications these, that undoubtedly bespeak a very near and ineffably intimate union between the Lord Jesus and the true living members of his mystical body! But, methinks, the words of our text point out to us a relation, which not only comprehends, but in respect to nearness and dearness , exceeds all other relations whatsoever. I mean that of a Husband, "For thy Maker is thy husband; the Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall he be called."

REV. C. H. Spurgeon
At New Park Street Chapel, Southwark.
"I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."—Malachi 3:6
It has been said by some one that "the proper study of mankind is man." I will not oppose the idea, but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God's elect is God; the proper study of a Christian is the Godhead. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father. There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can compass and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go our way with the thought, "Behold I am wise." But when we come to this master-science, finding that our plumb-line cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away with the thought, that vain man would be wise, but he is like a wild ass's colt; and with the solemn exclamation, "I am but of yesterday, and know nothing." No subject of contemplation will tend more to humble the mind, than thoughts of God. We shall be obliged to feel— Continue Reading Sermon Sunday: Charles Spurgeon…

You've probably heard of the Waldorf Astoria. Everything from Art Deco glamour to music to cuisine have been impacted by it at some point. You might have also heard recently of the plans to turn this historical property into housing, and regardless if you're for or against it, the decision is part of an increasing desire for real estate with historical value to meet local housing demands as well as prestige.
Modern Conversions to Classics
The Waldorf Astoria doesn't mark the first historical property to become a residence, but it has caused a stir in the media. Built in the 1930s, the hotel has stood as a landmark of the Art Deco period in New York, and hailed as one of the most revered hotels in American history. Famous for having presidents, musicians, and actors alike live in its rooms from its beginnings to the modern day, it's a small wonder that the opportunity to live in it full-time is as appealing to the public as it is to the celebrities, and the hotel purchaser and investor Anbang Insurance has looked to move forward with that dream. Long Beach has experienced this, and features its own renovations, such as the conversion of the Lafayette Hotel to apartments, and the conversion of the Villa Riviera community from apartments to luxury condominiums for buyers looking for a more luxury feeling.
Mill conversion is an increasing phenomena as well, where historical properties like factories and mills are turned into anything from apartments to office space. Los Angeles' Arts District in downtown has been home to many of these conversions, and is increasingly predominant in downtown and industrial areas of the past. The Kress Lofts in downtown Long Beach is a similar repurposing, using the facade of the Kress 5-10-25 Cent Retail Store that was built in 1925. The Willmore Building, once owned by the Stillwell Hotel Corporation of Los Angeles, has also found new life as an condo building that celebrates downtown living and the Italian Revival style.
Living in Long Beach History
It's not just the Waldorf Astoria that appeals to the American home buyer: living in a historical property is an opportunity that many jump at as a nod to their city's background, to appreciate the era that the home represents, and as a way to fight back against what many perceive as cookie-cutter housing in new housing developments. You needn't look so far as New York for an interesting property though. Long Beach and other parts of southern California have homes that share a lot of these qualities, as properties from the turn of the century through the Atomic Age populate multiple neighborhoods to varying degrees. Take for example Rose Park and Rose Park South which are well-known for their Craftsman-style houses that are so iconic of the Art Deco era. The Craftsman style home, popularized by the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and architectural firm Greene and Greene, is appealing to younger and older buyers alike, offering an iconic slice of California history for those interested in unique properties and restoration.
Similarly, Spanish Revival and properties utilizing its aesthetic are coming back into vogue, and are found in abundance in the Wrigley neighborhood (so named for the chewing gum empire of Wrigley's) and in California Heights, which is the largest historical district in Long Beach. Established in 1905 and 1921 respectively, houses in these neighborhoods are not only accessible for would-be home buyers, but offer the plentiful amenities of a Southern California neighborhood such as easy access to the beach, diverse food and culture, and a new city exploration adventure never more than a road away.
Why Buy Historical
Historical properties offer the chance to own a piece of Americana. The thoughts behind their construction were as individual as the families that built them, and that extra love hidden in these homes makes them unlike any new construction.
A few things to look for (or work on):
- Original Fixtures: the fixtures such as the lighting, built-in furniture, and decorative details represent a lot of the aesthetic that makes a house typical of its era. Sconces, mantles, crown molding, and window details shape a lot of the appearance of the home. These things being missing isn't a dealbreaker: restoration is easier than ever with online amenities and affordable replicas no more than a Google search away. Websites like Long Beach Historical offer resources and vendors to help you bring the house back to a turn-of-the-century 10.
- A Strong Entryway: The appearance of historical property is more than half of the appeal. Curb-appeal has always been huge int he housing market, and features like front porches, walkways, and garden plant choices can shape the impression a buyer might have of the house and its sense of history (rather than its age), or simply increase your own enjoyment of the property. The California Garden & Landscape History Society is a good jumping point into California's gardening history for ideas.
- An Open Mind: Historical homes are inherently different from new construction in that they follow the values of a different time period in terms of what was important in the home and to the family that built it. They also can have quirky features. A tiny sun room can be a reading nook waiting to happen, or a built in window bench becomes your new favorite breakfast spot. These kinds of individual features are what make historical properties a joy to pursue.

Drive your retirement savings
03 August 2018 | Markets and Economy
Commentary by Garrett Harbron, head of Vanguard UK wealth planning research.
In some ways, investing for retirement is a bit like driving a car. Driving has some advantages over walking, usually getting you to your destination more quickly and with less effort. However, the advantages of driving are largely determined by how far you have to go. You'll save a lot more time and effort if you're crossing the country than if you're going to the end of the block. Similarly, the longer you have until retirement, the more work investing (as opposed to saving) can do for you, making your retirement goal easier to achieve.
Another way investing is like driving is that, like a car, a good investment portfolio has an accelerator and a brake. In an investment portfolio, though, the accelerator and brake aren't pedals on the floor, but equities and bonds. Equities are the accelerator of your portfolio. They generate most of the returns and can help you get to your destination more quickly. Bonds, on the other hand, are the brake. They may not do much to help you when stock markets are on the rise, but they can help slow you down (reduce your losses) when stock markets aren't doing as well.
Risk isn't always bad…
Some investors avoid stocks because of the risks involved, deciding instead to load up on bonds, which tend to be safer. While this approach will likely result in a portfolio that is less risky than one which holds equity shares, it's like driving down the road with your brakes on – you won't get to your destination very quickly that way.
Consider an investor saving £500 a month in a portfolio consisting entirely of bonds earning 2.5% (our median forecasted return for bonds over the next 30 years). As our chart shows, it would take around 45 years to accumulate a pension pot of £500,000. That same £500 a month saved into an all-equity portfolio earning 6% would only take about 30 years – two-thirds as long.

… but don't drive too fast
Of course, in investing, like driving, pressing on the accelerator too hard and for too long can be dangerous. All-equity portfolios tend to earn higher returns, but they also take on much more risk. This can cause investors to sell during market downturns, turning paper losses into real pound losses. That's the investing equivalent of crashing your car because you were driving too fast.
When driving, getting to your destination quickly and safely requires using both the accelerator and the brake. When investing for retirement, achieving your savings goal requires a combination of equities and bonds. Too much of either will make it hard to reach your destination, but the right combination can make your journey much smoother.

LincolnHealth Re-Designated as a Baby-Friendly Birth Facility
April 07, 2019
Baby-Friendly USA, has given LincolnHealth-Damariscotta its prestigious international recognition as a Re-Designated Baby-Friendly birth facility.
Baby-Friendly USA, Inc is the U.S. authority for the implementation of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative ("BFHI"), a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The initiative encourages and recognizes hospitals and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. Based on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, this award recognizes birth facilities that offer breastfeeding mothers the information, confidence, and skills needed to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies.
"LincolnHealth was the first hospital in Maine to receive Baby-Friendly designation nearly 21 years ago," commented LincolnHealth Chief Nursing Officer Christine Anderson, RN, BSN, NE-BC. "Upholding these standards of care since then is a testament to the commitment of our nursing staff to provide mothers, babies, and families the best support for a healthy, positive beginning."
Several of LincolnHealth's registered nurses on the maternity unit have received advanced lactation training and have become either Certified Lactation Counselors® or International Board Certified Lactation Consultants® to offer the best breastfeeding support possible.
"All moms room in with their babies here at LincolnHealth, meaning they sleep together in the same, private room," commented LincolnHealth Obstetrics Clinical Supervisor Amy Beckett, RN, CLC. "Rooming in ensures families have every opportunity to interact and bond with their baby during the first days of life. Rooming in provides many physical and emotional benefits to both mom and baby. We also encourage as much skin-to-skin time as possible, to help babies adjust to life outside the womb, maintain temperature, and establish successful breastfeeding. Rooming in and skin-to-skin are just two of many Baby-Friendly practices we are proud to provide families."
There are more than 20,000 designated Baby-Friendly hospitals and birth centers worldwide. Currently there are 564 active Baby-Friendly hospitals and birth centers in the United States. The "Baby-Friendly" re-designation is given after a rigorous on-site survey. The award is maintained by continuing to practice the Ten Steps as demonstrated by quality processes.

I'm not sure I've recovered from Book Expo America yet! Like always, my days there were packed yet there never seemed to be enough hours to see all the authors on my list or talk to all the folks I wanted to. I would do it all over again. My first evening in town, I met up with my friend Heather at a Crown Publishing event. Heather and I have similar tastes in books and I knew she'd enjoy meeting the authors of From Left to Write's recent book club features.
On the top of my list to meet was Sandi Shelton, who wrote our April book club selection The Opposite of Maybe (under the pseudonym Maddie Dawson). Sandie and I have exchanged many emails and she was just as wonderful in person as she was over email. I made Heather read Sandie's book before coming to the party and she was not disappointed. (Read our book club discussion of The Opposite of Maybe.)
I also met Susan Rieger, author of our March book club feature The Divorce Papers. I love my virtual book club and discussing From Left to Write members' discussion of their books. Susan has plenty of her ideas for her next books, and I'm looking forward to reading them when she's finished.
Our book club members had very strong feelings about Bittersweet by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore. The novel touched them in unexpected ways. Miranda enjoyed reading how her novel inspired everyone and even mentioned a particular post she read. Gotta love authors who make a point to connect with their readers.
The event was jammed packed, thanks to the sudden cool New York weather. It was just too chilly and windy to hang out on the terrace. Still, I had a chance to chat with the cool folks at Crown Publishing. It's nice to chat in person when we just exchange emails most of the year.
This is just part one of my BEA recap. Stay tuned for Neil Patrick Harris photos! Plus I have some coveted copies of his book excerpts to give away!

Laparoscopic Keyhole Surgery – Veterinary Surgical Services
Vetmed Randwick » Veterinary Surgical Services & Pet Health » Laparoscopic Keyhole Surgery – Veterinary Surgical Services
VetMed is one of the only Sydney vet clinics to provide advanced veterinary surgery options including laparoscopic keyhole surgery.
Keyhole surgery has been routinely used in human surgeries for the last couple of decades. It provides patients with minimally invasive surgery, lower scarring, and faster, less painful recovery. This advanced surgery procedure is now able to be performed for your pet at our veterinary hospital.
Using Keyhole Surgery for Biopsies and De-Sexing
Our qualified VetMed teams use laparoscopic surgery to perform safe, effective 'keyhole spays' in female animals, as well as male pets with undescended testicles.
Laparoscopic surgery involves 2 or 3 incisions – smaller than 1cm long – that allow a camera and instruments to enter the body. This is why keyhole surgery is very useful for performing organ biopsies and treating bladder disease. In large and giant breed dogs, we can also perform surgery to prevent GDV or stomach twisting.
Veterinary surgeons are making advancements in using laparoscopy for joint surgery all the time. These can greatly improve diagnosis and recovery time in a number of joint diseases.
Benefits of Keyhole Surgery for Pets
The major benefits of keyhole surgery for your pet include:
- Less pain after surgery with a faster recovery time
- Magnification to enable closer more accurate assessment of the operation site
- Fewer complications due to smaller incisions.
- Animals are usually back to normal activity the next day following routine procedures
Qualified Veterinary Surgeons in Sydney
To discuss professional advanced veterinary surgery options for your pet, contact the VetMed teams.
We have the most skilled team of vets in Sydney's Eastern suburbs, with caring, knowledgeable staff and industry-leading equipment and techniques. The VetMed teams truly are professionals who care, so you'll know your pet is in good hands throughout their surgery.

Reform in New York
The Budget, The Legislature, and the Governance Process
New York once prided itself as being a leader in governance among the states. Now mediocrity is the norm. One 50 state study is particularly revealing. In 2001 Governing Magazine, in collaboration with the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, graded the states in five key areas of government performance – Fiscal Management, Capital Management, Human Resources, Managing for Results, and Information Technology. New York got a "C+" average, and no grade higher than a "B."
New York's persistent fiscal difficulties have led to calls for reform. One set of proposals focuses directly upon the states budgetary processes. One idea is to shift the beginning of the fiscal year to July 1, the practice in 46 states, to allow the legislature more time to consider the executive budget proposal (and to have better information about actual income tax collections, due April 15). A second is to establish an authoritative – and perhaps politically disinterested – consensus process for revenue estimating. A third calls for a staged, more inclusive process for legislator participation in budgetary decision making, including the use of conference committees to resolve inter-house differences.
And there are others. A second approach to reform, the one taken here, treats the budget process as the state's core political activity – the authoritative acquisition and allocation of scarce resources. It begins from an understanding that, major executive/legislative conflict notwithstanding, the state budget process worked reasonably well from its inception in 1929 until about a quarter of a century ago. It assumes that manifestations of stress in the budget process are indications of underlying institutional change. It thus seeks explanations for persistent deadlock in budgeting in a disjunction – between the political and structural assumptions that underlay the budget process as enshrined in the state constitution in 1929 on the one hand, and the contemporary workings of the state's political and governmental systems on the other. It concludes, therefore, that reform of the budget process is needed but insufficient to achieve fiscally responsible, responsive governance in New York State.
This document provided background for the Citizens Budget Commission's conference and report "Fixing New York State's Fiscal Practices" on November 13 and 14, 2003. The conference brought together public officials, business and labor leaders, civic leaders, academic experts. and media representatives to identify actions to "fix" the fiscal practices of New York State.
The conference and related materials were made possible by generous support from the New York Community Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, Nathan Cummings Foundation, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, Cheryl Cohen Effron and Blair Effron, and Philip Milstein.

Misconception to Avoid after Retirement
Retirement is one of the important goals you have to prepare for it by saving money. It's not easy to borrow money on retirement and the retirement approaches by authorities have not proven to be effective at meeting people's needs. For you to avoid becoming to touch with poverty after retirement, you have to ensure that you come up with a good retirement program. Below are some of the myths that you will need to prevent when you retire.
Medicare covers everything is a widely overrated misconception. The Medicare is activated when you turn 65. This is the same time when you beginning taking social security. Therefore, this removes the possibility of you getting the Medicare when you retire early, about 55 years. This means that you will have to save a substantial amount of money to cover your health needs. To add on this, Medicare does not cover the best health services in the market in case you need them, like top-notch cancer treatment or other private medical services. It therefore, is quite important for you to save around some hundred million dollars for your own retirement health requirements. This is the reason as to why you should know that you might spend most of your money in retirement than you are doing now.
Most people are not able to stick to the rules on withdrawals from their retirement accounts. They withdraw 401ks to settle debts in addition to paying half of taxes. In some instances, they borrow from their retirement and take chances settling the taxes and interest whenever they lose their own jobs. Some people do not understand the principles therefore taking money free of penalty. Generally, it is not possible to take money from an IRA without a 10% penalty without following the 72t rule. The 72t rule states that you make withdrawals at least a year, but it may be more frequently.
The concept that your home is a nest egg shouldn't be the situation when you retire. Many men and women have a tendency to assume that they can market the home for some money after retirement. In fact, this may be the case or the location of your house may have reduced in value rendering your house less valuable. If you cannot find a purchaser of your house in a cost of your selection, the thought will be abandoned. Reverse mortgage on the other hand is also not a good idea as a result of penalties that accompany the process. To add on this, this option may not be availed to you if you have a present home mortgage equilibrium. It is therefore wise to make sure that you familiarize yourself with the myths that include retirement.

Vedanta bounces back
On the 26th of Nov, Monday, Vedanta hit a new low at Rs.191.10 and another one on 27th at Rs.190.60. Today, it is very well entrenched in the green, bouncing back with vigour, the stock price rose almost 4% to Rs.200.45.
The National Green Tribunal formed a three-member committee to examine the shutdown of Vedanta's Sterlite copper plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. It was defending the company at the ongoing case between Sterlite and the TN Government, which is all for closure of the plant.
Arguing its point, the NGT said that that the shutdown was unsustainable against the principles of natural justice. It said that there were insufficient grounds to permanently close Vedanta's copper smelter and the TN Government's decision to shut it amounted to administrative overreach.
The three-member panel said that the TN authorities had failed to comply with the procedures before shutting down the smelter and the company was not given any notice or opportunity to explain its position.
This argument comes as a boost to the company's morale as the TM Govt has ordered permanent closure of the smelter in May after 13 people protesting to demand its shutdown on environmental concerns were killed in a police firing.
The Environment court is to give its verdict on 7th Dec.

The photos and story of a 3-year-old baby girl who was allegedly brutalized by her own parents who think she is a witch, have emerged online and it's so sad!
Below is how an annonymous National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member posted the shocking story on a popular online platform;
"I'm a corp member serving In Nnewi, Anambra. This child (see attached picture) is my neighbor's kid and she is just 3 years old. Even at this age she has already passed through a lot; her parent thinks she is a witch and the bruises on her face were given to her by her own parents. She gets beaten almost every day and she is malnourished and skinny from starvation. It's really heartbreaking.
"This girl, at this age, lives in so much fear of her parents that one day we found her hiding behind the toilet door of the corper's lodge.
"We have talked to her parents, but they still keep beating her up. We are calling on the relevant authorities to come to this girl's rescue. It is obvious they are trying to gradually kill her. MOD kindly move this to the front page. They live at Nnewi, Anambra. Amichi. NCCF NYSC family house."

Well we were nervous because there is a brand new building in downtown Boise that is very modern, new and exciting. The U.S. Bank building was built in 1979 and so needed an element that would bring excitement and some of that same creativity that's involved in our new building into this old building. We knew that Jordan at Cornerstone was exactly who could help us do that. We presented her with a kind of concept idea of how do we make this come alive and fit with the rest of the project, to really harmonize and bring the tenants and people that come into the building that same feeling. She took it from there, it was so easy to go through the process with her because right from the initial color boards, it felt good and as though it really lifted the building and changed the perception of this building.
Since it's been installed, it's been incredible because we're not even done yet with the full lobby "feel" — just the light and vibrancy it's brought. We've had many tenants call and just say that this is fantastic and it's really changed the whole building. It's hard to pull this off, to have an art piece that also functions and I think that's been the best comments we have received with people asking "how did you make this fit, light the space so well and be a piece of art that functions so well?" When we do all of our marketing, we are going to highlight this – it will be the first thing you see when you come here, I think it will be the center of the Plaza.

Whilst less well known as a habitat for big cats than Africa, you may be surprised to learn that South and Central America have their fair share of wild cats, including some beautiful and graceful species that you may sometimes never have heard of. Spotting these magnificent creatures takes rather more patience and dedication than in other parts of the world such as East Africa, but the reward of seeing such an elusive mammal on a distant river bank or on the brow of a mountain peak is well worth the search.
Huge swathes of den jungle jungle east of the Andes and into the lowlands of the Amazon and the rainforest regions once home to the ancient Maya are Refuge to an unexpectedly endangered population of cats such as ocelot, margays, jaguarundi, Geoffroy's cat, Andean cats as well as the largest of the continent's species, the jaguar and the puma (also known as the cougar or mountain lion in the USA and Canada).
As with many wild animal populations, these incredibly elusive and rare creatures are decreasing in numbers, and because they are much harder to find than in other parts of the world with landscapes of more open plains, even their numbers remain estimated by the experts. However, if you pick your spot carefully, there is still a reliably good chance to see one of the region's two largest wild cats as well as a myriad of other unique and fascinating native wildlife. And with awareness increasing gradually in Latin America to height conservation efforts, the chances of their future survival could well depend on the increased interest in seeing these cats through controlled tourism that could help protect their habitat from encroachment by farming.
Journey into the stunning region of the Pantanal in central Brazil: a vast seasonal floodplain that also incorporates savannah and tropical forest across an area hundreds of thousands of square kilometers wide. Thousand of bird, animal, fish, plant, and reptile species thrive here in its vast network of lagoons, rivers, and marshes, and some of its rare species include the hyacinth macaw, the giant river otter, and of course, the beautiful jaguar .
The best time to see these cats, third largest in the world after tigers and lions, is in the Pantanal dry season, especially in July – August as jaguar, which are great swimmers, congregate along the diminishing Paraguay & Cuiaba Rivers to stalk their prey which can include otter, deer, and even anaconda and caiman.
Lodging in these very remote regions remains extremely basic from simple houseboats to rustic tented camps and simple hotels where you take out small skiffs along the river by day looking out for jaguar as well as seeing giant river otters, capybara, caiman, and even possibly tapir , ocelot, and peccaries. You can arrange a wonderful local guide to accompany you on a private tour so that the lack of luxury for a few days will be more than compensated for by their extraordinary scientific knowledge, a dedicated naturalist who has lived and worked in this region all their life . Spend a few days near Porto Jofre heading out each day by boat looking for jaguar and then enjoy a more comfortable stay at a charming lodge in either the north or south Pantanal where you can spend days hiking, canoeing or horse-riding to observe the many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles of this incredible biodiverse region.
Like the jaguar, the habitat of the puma ranges across the length of the American continent. Puma concolor is thought of as a ghost-like mammal, so rarely is it seen. Of course, the further you are from civilization, farming, roads, and development, the more likely you are to catch a glimpse of these beautiful wild cats. In the far northern reaches of southern Chile's Torres del Paine National Park, well away from even the relatively small number of visitors who head to the trails around the iconic granite pillars or Torres or to hike around the shores of intensely colored glacial lakes, lies a quiet wilderness of Patagonian steppe where the puma can still range undisturbed along the equally rare Huemul (South Andean deer) and other indigenous wildlife such as condors, rheas, guanaco, gray foxes, and eagles to name but a few.
You can arrange to explore the remote regions of southern Patagonia with an incredible guide who is a professional wildlife photographer and expert wildlife guide, who will accompany you on your own private puma tracking expedition and photo safari. There are a number of beautiful design-led lodges in and around the park that can be your base for your Patagonian adventure where you can relax in the evening in a stunningly beautiful remote setting with a cozy fire, a glass of fine wine, and gourmet cuisine.
One of my favorites is a camp on the shores of Lake Toro, where you can lodge in very luxurious yurt tents, gazing up at the stars from the rooftop window and out over lakes and forest from your terrace. You can arrange a bespoke itinerary here combining a few days hiking, kayaking or horse-riding in the park with a few days spent in the northern reaches of the park with your guide, sometimes overnight for one or two nights in remote refugios or simple lodges (but of course with some gourmet picnic fare!) in order to get the best possible chance of seeing a puma.

Comment: A coup in time?
So where does the Soviet Union go next? And, more precisely, what can
Soviet science expect? The successful defeat of last week's coup can only
be good news for the country's scientists. Many have suffered for years
from precisely that type of oppressive bureacracy which threatened, for
one terrible moment, to return. But for the present, Soviet scientists still
face the same problems as the economy as a whole. Even after the arrival
of perestroika, a chronic lack of hard currency and modern equipment has
consistently undermined much-needed efforts at structural reform. This has
created growing disillusionment and collapsing morale.
One likely outcome of last week's events is the disappearance of the
Soviet Academy of Sciences – or at least, its replacement as the most important
actor on the scientific stage. For many, the academy has continued, even
under President Gorbachev, to symbolise the cronyism and heavy-handed centralism
that has crucified the Soviet economy for decades. With the decentralisation
of power to individual republics, its future must now carry a large question
Conversely, decentralisation is likely to mean an enhanced role for
regional academies. But these, too, have long been infected with the old
'jobs for life' traditions inherited from Moscow. Currently starved of funds,
their future will depend on their ability to shed old habits and adapt to
the new entrepreneurial spirit that is sweeping the country. The danger
here is that what basic research still exists will get swept away.
Boris Yeltsin, the President of Russia whose political stature has emerged
enhanced by the events, is no stranger to the problems of Soviet scientists.
Last month, he faced an angry group of them when he visited the Siberia
Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk (which has always been funded by the
Russian government, not Moscow).
The scientists complained that the academy was in danger of disintegrating
as a result of inadequate resources and a growing brain drain. Their complaints
seem to have been listened to. Ten days before the abortive coup, the Russian
government announced it was increasing the academy's grant for basic research
by 100 million roubles (about £100 million). At the same time, Yeltsin
insisted that, in future, the state would only support those scientists
able to demonstrate that they were working productively.
The West must now do what it can to encourage greater movement in this
direction. Sticking to previous commitments to reduce export controls is
one way of doing this. We can also help by building closer personal contacts
between researchers. So far, visits of Soviet scientists to Western laboratories
are seldom reciprocated. With luck, last week's events will make such visits
more enjoyable and easier to arrange. Anyone for Russia?

A mum of three from Lisburn will be fulfilling a lifelong ambition next Sunday (May 26) when she does her first sky dive, raising much needed funds for a cause very close to her heart, Children's Liver Disease Foundation (CLDF).
Amanda Withers' four year old son Daniel was born with the rare liver disease, Alagilles syndrome, and she and her family have had information and support from the charity ever since he was diagnosed.
"When your child has a rare disease, it's easy to feel isolated but the CLDF team are always on hand with support, whether it's over the phone by email or coming to see us when we are at hospital clinic visits," says Amanda. "They also organise special weekends for families in Northern Ireland whose children have liver disease and we really enjoy these. It's great to feel part of a family and realise that you're not alone.
"A sky dive is something I have always wanted to do, so has my sister, Susanne, and my cousin, Ruth. We always said we would do it together but with myself and my sister having three children each, the past few years have never suited with someone always being pregnant! Now the time is right, and it seems the perfect way of raising some money for CLDF as a thank you. We're delighted to have raised over £1,000 already. As the day gets nearer, we're all very excited but sure the nerves will kick in on the day!
Alison Taylor, Chief Executive of Children's Liver Disease Foundation commented: "CLDF is the only UK charity dedicated to fighting all childhood liver diseases, by providing information and emotional support, funds for research and a voice for all those affected. In order to do this however, we rely on voluntary donations, so we're delighted to hear what Amanda, Susanne and Ruth have planned. We hope they enjoy the experience and the funds raised will continue to make a difference to families throughout the UK affected by childhood liver disease."

For EVs to become economically viable and scalable, focussed research, development and innovation are needed to build indigenous capability. Vehicles need to be energy efficient, use light-weight and efficient batteries that function well in Indian conditions with materials that are recycleable. Developing vehicle sub-systems and components for Indian requirements including rare-earth based electric motors, Lithium-ion batteries, power electronics etc. will be addressed using academia-industry collaborations.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth Bleaching works by changing the natural colour of the tooth. A bleaching gel is applied to the surface of the tooth and the active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide penetrates the tooth's enamel. This triggers a chain reaction that breaks down the staining substances and neutralises discolouration by whitening the surrounding enamel and internal dentin.
Cosmetic Advantages of Teeth Whitening
Teeth Bleaching is the most reliable cosmetic dental treatment to counter tooth discolouration brought on by ageing and staining. Individuals who are unhappy with the colour of their teeth frequently learn how to smile without showing their teeth, or cover their mouth when they smile. Teeth bleaching provides a convenient and affordable solution.
We understand that more youthful teeth are naturally whiter, so by whitening teeth in St Kilda you create a consistent brightness throughout the breadth of the smile that restores a more younger look.
People with grey coloured or seriously discoloured teeth may gain from other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers that abide by the existing tooth to create a brand-new evenly shaped and coloured tooth surface. We suggest that you reserve a cosmetic assessment visit with our Dental professional for more information.
The Length Of Time Will the Results Last?
The results of teeth whitening are long-term. However, way of life choices will affect upon the brightness of your teeth following your Zoom treatment. Specific food and beverages can stain and discolour the tooth's enamel with time, and this will occur at a faster rate if you indulge regularly. Coffee, tea, red wine, coloured sports' beverages and smoking are the biggest causes of discolouration. We understand you might not wish to give up these indulgences so we offer in-chair whitening top-ups for patients who notice a decrease in brightness after a couple of years. To keep your whitened teeth looking their brightest we suggest brushing and flossing twice a day and having a regular expert check-up and clean.
Benefits of In-Chair Teeth Whitening
The in-chair whitening system delivers a number of advantages over home lightening products. The higher portion of hydrogen peroxide used and Zoom light boosts the variety of tones the whitening system can provide. You only require a single treatment and the results are immediate, more visible and irreversible. You are also most likely to experience less level of sensitivity with in-chair whitening compared to at-home bleaching products.

Tooth level of sensitivity from whitening can vary between the producT and treatment system, in addition to the private patient. There are occasional circumstances where teeth lightened in-chair can become temporarily delicate. Level of sensitivity can feel like a mild tingling or can come as a short, sharp flash. The good news is that if you do experience any sensitivity from bleaching, or if you have delicate teeth typically, this can be easily managed with Philips' Relief Gel. The gel includes amorphous calcium phosphate that combats level of sensitivity, remineralises the tooth's enamel and restores enamel lustre.

Dental Implants Solutions In St Kilda
Missing out on or lost teeth can impact the function of your existing teeth and the appearance of your smile. Quality Dental can resolve these concerns utilizing extremely effective and long-term dental implants. By changing missing teeth we produce a healthy, natural looking and total smile.
How Do Implants Work?
A dental implant replaces the missing tooth's root, which is utilized to secure the brand-new tooth into position. The implant is made of titanium and is integrated into the jaw-bone listed below the surface of the gum. A porcelain crown is then connected to the top of the implant to simulate the profile of your natural teeth. We use handmade porcelain crowns to make sure the brand-new tooth completely matches the size, shape and colour of the surrounding teeth.
What Are Dental Implants Made From?
Oral implants are made from titanium and have a useable life well over Thirty Years if well maintained. We utilize the highest-grade Straumann-brand titanium implants that are clinically shown to integrate exceptionally well with natural bone.
The implant will be placed inside the jaw-bone changing the damage or missing tooth root. When implanted the bone will naturally and securely grow around the surface of the titanium implant to produce an irreversible anchor for the brand-new tooth.
Titanium implants offer higher versatility than other implant systems as they use a two-part system: the implant under the gum line and the post attached to the top of the implant that holds the new tooth.

Well, Da! Since The New York Times report last week that the FBI launched an investigation into Trump's relationship with Russia after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, my déjà vu has been off the charts. Every time I see TV pundits picking over Trump's multitude of pro-Russian statements and actions as if they're seeing them for the first time, I go into a meltdown.
Why? Because any person over 12 who's been paying the slightest bit of attention knows Trump's allegiance to Russia has always been sincere and all-consuming.
"I will tell you this, Russia: If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 [Hillary Clinton] emails that are missing."
On Russian meddling in the election: "I don't see any reason why it would be" Russia.
I could go on and on. These and many other outrageous statements the media reported with insufficient push-back left many of us thinking, "Holy shit! Why isn't somebody stopping him?"
Right after Trump fired Comey, he invited Russians into the Oval Office to gloat with them about it. We found out from Russian photographs because Trump allowed no American witnesses.
And then we heard about the two-hour private tête-à-tête with Putin in Helsinki, to which Trump allowed no American witnesses save an interpreter, whose notes he later confiscated and probably destroyed. Afterward, Putin bounded before reporters, smiling like he'd just gotten the world's best blow job, with lumbering Trump looking like he'd been forced at gunpoint to swallow.
And let's not overlook Trump's ever-growing mountain of tweets professing love for all things Russian. Out the other side of his face he claims he's been harder on Russia than any president, ever — even as he tries to relieve Putin's oligarch henchman and Paul Manafort BFF, Oleg Deripaska, of American sanctions.
For three years, the media has asked, "What could POSSIBLY be going on?" when it's been obvious all along.
Trump's Russia fixation is all about money. Back in 2008, (I'm quoting Vox) Donald Trump Jr. said, "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." In 2014, Eric Trump said, "We don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia."
Over many years, Trump has done a high volume of all-cash real estate deals at his properties in New York and Florida with Russians worth hundreds of millions.
U.S. banks refuse to lend to Trump because he's a notorious bad risk, and Trump's burning bridges with other countries now. I believe he naively thinks that if he presents Putin with the smoldering ruins of the United States on a platter (with the Statue of Liberty's head on the side), Trump will be ensured wealth beyond his wildest dreams forever — including a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Where Trump miscalculates bigly is that his life post-White House will be anything but business as usual, happily ever after. Trump and, apparently, the 25-30 percent of racist morons who still support him are the only ones who fail to see he's heading to prison. The feds and New York state have so many felonies to nail on Trump, he'll look like a used piñata by the time they're finished with him.
Tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, misuse of funds, conspiring with a hostile power, emoluments violations, campaign finance violations, obstruction of justice. Those are just his greatest hits. Even with plea deals, Trump at 72 faces what's left of his life behind bars. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is assembling and fleshing out the pieces with hard evidence that will be gift-wrapped and shoved down the throats of every Trump voter and enabler in Congress.
On January 14, in response to the NYT article, Trump uttered the words destined to be carved on his tombstone…
Trump will be pressed on that point, and we know his first response will be, "I never said that."
When confronted with the video, he'll say…
"I have never received a paycheck from Russia. When you work for somebody, they have to give you a paycheck, right? Do you think Putin would ever give me a paycheck? What have I ever done for Putin? I hardly know the guy. I don't get paychecks from Putin. I've never even been to Russia."
What we're seeing is quid pro quo in action. On the promise of future riches, Putin provides Trump's marching orders ("Pull your troops out of Syria," "Pull your troops out of Iraq," "Destroy NATO," "Give Deripaska a break," etc.), and Trump will do as ordered until Congress stops him, one way or another.
Donald Trump is a liar, a thief and a traitor. He's lurching blindly toward the worst possible end. It can't come soon enough.

How much do you have to know about the inside of your phone system? As a mid-sized business owner, you might think it's not that much – but your company could actually benefit by learning about the technology called SIP. SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol, and although it might sound like technology jargon only meant for your IT folks, knowing about SIP could save your business a ton of money.
SIP provides a way to send rich media messages – voice, data and video – across the Internet to multiple computers and mobile devices. Traditional private branch exchange (PBX) phone systems cannot do this type of message transfer. By leveraging SIP, PBX systems – the most common phone system used by businesses around the world – are allowed to aggregate multiple calls, screen shares or videoconferences over a single Internet connection. While traditional telecom technology requires physically connecting wires, SIP uses an IP connection. This physical-versus-IP aspect of SIP is the key driver of its growing popularity.
In this age of collaboration and distributed workforces, having a telephone system that is capable of communicating all types of messages to remote workers or satellite offices is critical. By 2015, almost 7 in 10 businesses had either already moved or were planning to move to SIP. Since then, the trend has only accelerated. According to a recent survey, the SIP trunking market is "on pace" to become the default connection between your phone connections that are installed on your premises and the public-switched telephone networks. In effect, SIP is the glue holding together your in-house investments and the "public" telephone networks, which are run by the big telecom vendors.
What was once considered an innovation only appropriate for leading-edge enterprises has now become a must-have technology for organizations of all sizes and industries. In this article, we'll identify seven characteristics about SIP that will help you decide if it's right for you. Here are seven things you should know about SIP:
1) SIP saves you money.
SIP is highly cost effective. One telephony consultant has found that his clients – from smaller businesses to the largest enterprises – save between 20% and 60% annually on their telephony costs.
One way that SIP trunking reduces telephony costs is by eliminating separate voice and data connections. One corporate SIP account can serve an entire company's needs. Even businesses with multiple branch offices can use a single SIP account rather than the multiple primary rate interface (PRI) connections that they must pay for to provide a digital connection to their traditional PBXs.
2) SIP is scalable.
Whether you're expecting to grow due to seasonal demand, or anticipating a drop-off in activity, SIP is extremely easy to scale up or down. SIP relies on sessions, or calls, within shared broadband bandwidth. This means that if calls are not simultaneous, the network can "flex" to manage the excess load to the available bandwidth. This ability to adjust your SIP capacity to business needs is the second-leading reason that companies are deploying it.
3) SIP trunks can be compatible with your existing telephone system.
Just because you're switching phone systems doesn't mean you have to overhaul your existing equipment. When selecting a SIP service, you can look for one that is compatible with your existing telephony hardware. Leading service providers offer "checking" services that analyze compatibility, letting you know whether or not SIP trunking is compatible with your existing system. Additionally, gateways can be added to the service that supports analog phone services. As a result, you're able to share your home office PBX with users at multiple locations, eliminating the need for a dedicated system at each site. This allows you to expand your technology capabilities without having to throw away your existing investments.
4) SIP trunking reduces telephone management and maintenance.
When compared to physical lines, SIP trunks are much easier to manage and maintain because they are virtual. Rather than dealing with costly on-site installations and circuit and termination point repairs, you can easily adjust your network with software and added bandwidth. As a result, your operational expenses (OpEx) are much lower because you don't have to interact with your service provider technicians every time there's a problem.
5) SIP is secure – if done right.
Security is always an issue. There are rising concerns about SIP trunking being vulnerable to cybercriminals, but the right provider will minimize those risks.
6) SIP trunking improves business continuity and disaster recovery.
With SIP, you can easily move fixed lines anywhere you want them to go without the high cost of call forwarding. This way, if a disaster strikes, you can immediately divert calls – for example, to a backup PRI line – so your business operations won't be affected. Other types of telephone services force you to wait up to 24 hours for call diversions to kick in, and charge you a pretty penny. And if you're moving your business, SIP allows you to easily maintain your existing phone numbers.
7) SIP supports your mobile users.
You can always add support for mobility using a mobile application. Also, SIP can supplement your existing PBX with additional features delivered via a cloud connection.
In Summary
By making a relatively small investment for SIP, you can reap these advantages while getting ROI payback within a short time frame. Your business can continue advancing its telephone capabilities while enjoying the benefits of low-cost, high-quality global connectivity over the Internet.
