The lectures were engaging and eye-opening.
The CAU IWP was a very satisfying program to follow through. I had the best time enjoying Seoul with my fellow exchange students. Not only did I get to experience the Korean culture for myself, I was also able to gain knowledge of how and why the culture was shaped into its current form.
The lectures that were given were engaging and eye-opening, especially as the topics of discussion were very interesting. They all spoke perfect English so we were able to understand all the materials that were given to us.

I am so happy I got the opportunity to participate in the International Winter Program, which was held by Chung-Ang University in South Korea.
During this experience, I was able to feel the amount of effort the school put into this program for us. They offered us a variety of classes which educated us on Korea and Korean culture in detail.
Another impressive experience of this program was when we got to wear the Hanbok. In the past I have only seen these clothes in dramas. Wearing the Korean traditional clothing made me feel like I had travelled a hundred years back.
I tried a lot of new things and got to experience a variety of interesting activities. I am so thankful to Chung-Ang University for holding this program. I will be sure to inform other students who have never been to Korea before that they too can join this program next year.

All of this is more than I expected.
This winter program is awesome, everything is well organized and all the activities are fun. I have learned so much through the cultural activities, lectures and Korean classes that I took. Now as a result, I am more interested in Korean culture, Korean language and this lovely country. I have met some new friends, and have more knowledge about this country – which is much more than I expected.

The dormitory is also high-quality, and it is comfortable to stay here.
This eighteen-day winter program was a wonderful journey. In the beginning, I was confused about everything because it was my first time going abroad. The weather was so cold and the food was so different and spicy that I couldn't adjust to it at first. However, the daily life in Seoul was convenient and high-quality. There are various kinds of restaurant, shops, and markets around the neighborhood which you can explore. CAU is a beautiful school, which consists of spectacular buildings and scenery. The food in the cafeteria is pleasant, which allowed me to become more familiar with traditional Korean food. The dormitory is also high-quality, and is comfortable to stay in.
Thanks to the winter program, CAU provided us with lots of wonderful experiences. In these eighteen days, we were able to embrace Korean culture by attending and participating in various cultural activities. They were unprecedented experiences and I will never forget it. My greatest memories at CAU was learning Taekwondo and how to ski. These activities were incredibly interesting and exciting! Our tours to different attractions in Korea were also impressive as they gave me a deeper insight into Korea.

The Great Beauty / La grande belleza.
Posted by keith1942 on October 19, 2013
This is the new feature by Italian director Paolo Sorrentino. Like his earlier The Consequences of Love (2004) and Il Divo(2008) this stars Toni Servillo. Here Servillo plays journalists and bon viveur Jep Gambardella. Jep is celebrating his 66th birthday and nearly forty years of both professional success and the enjoyment of being a leading light in the social circles of the Roman bourgeoisie. As the film develops we learn more about Jep, including flashbacks to a failed youthful romance. And we learn that after an initially critically successful first novel Jep has forsaken 'art' for journalism and celebrity.
The film is full of images of Rome and also of the glittering but empty socialising of bourgeois celebrities and their acolytes. This immediately refers us back to Fellini's great 1960 portrait La Dolce Vita. And there are strong parallels between Jep and the protagonist of Fellini's earlier film, Marcello. Both are involved in journalism, though the new feature exclude the excesses of the paparazzi. Both appear to have opted for the shallow pleasures of celebrity culture rather than deeper emotional involvement. Both display a surface cynicism, which may mask more disquieting emotions.
However, by the end of their respective films there is a clear divergence. Our final sight of Marcello is on a beach near Rome, where he watches a group of fisherman hauled in a monstrous strange fish. Then he sees a young girl, across an outlet of water, making signs. But he cannot understand her. We are left with Marcello's puzzlement and a large close up of the young girl. Simple credits follow against a black screen.
We leave Jep as we realise that, after a break of nearly forty years, he is starting to write a second novel. It will clearly be some sort of telling of the lost romance of his youth. The credits unroll against a slow tracking shot along the Tiber, under bridges and pass embankments. Marcello is left against the vast, grey and mysterious ocean. In Jep's case we have an old-fashioned and [I think] somewhat romantic image of water.
The Great Beauty is able to suggest a particular resonance because it is in colour rather than black and white. The texture of the river, and the green fonds in the current, give a particular feel to the palette of the image. There are parallel differences in the images of Rome that both films provide. Fellini's film open with the impressive aerial shot of both Rome and a Christ-figure. Sorrentino's introduction to Rome of the C21st down plays religion and suggests the Rome of the tourists. Equally the decadent parties we see in the Fellini film are shown in black and white and have a sharp acerbic feel. Sorentino's parties are show in vibrant colour, with digital effects, and initially seem just like pop videos.
This is the Italy of Berlusconi, some way from the late 1950s Rome of Fellini. The latter saw an 'economic miracle' that has eluded the media-savvy contemporary politician. Intriguingly Sorrentino's earlier Il Divo presented a portrait of the politician Andreotti, whose career more or less spans the decades between La Dole Vita and Berlusconi. S&S suggested a 'loose trilogy' with these three films by Sorrentino, and given that The Consequences of Love deals with the Mafia, we have central institutions and players in Italy in the second half of the C20th.
The Great Beauty seems to reference both cinema and the larger society. Another film that chronicles the changing relationship between the two is Cinema Paradiso (1988). And this would seem to provide another set of references in this new film. The flashbacks to the young romance reminded me strongly of Tornatore's film. And in both films the older, jaded character displays a sense of change in response to the past. In The Great Beauty Jep is provoked by the widower of his lost love. And the voice over of the opening lines of Jep's new novel at the closure reminded me forcibly of the montage of censored film images that closes Cinema Paradiso.

Choosing an entrance door for your home is a matter of personal choice but security is also an important factor. There is a lot to consider when choosing an entry door. The front door to a home should make a statement and it should be strong, solid, and secure. This is where choosing between wood and metal becomes a focal point. Each type of material has pros and cons as well as strengths and weaknesses.
An entry door should have character, curb appeal, add value to the property, and most importantly, provide security.
That's a lot to consider when deciding about the type of door to purchase for your home. Entrance doors should present a welcoming appeal to visitors. The front door should be a bit fancier than a plain service door. It is suggested that the same type of door material should be used to match the front, back, and side doors. It gives a uniform and pleasing appearance to a home.
For each door type, consider the safety and security factors. If you are not a skilled DIY expert, installing a new or replacement door requires the services of a skilled professional. Action Locksmith can help. We will install and repair interior and exterior doors, hinges, frames and hardware. Pay attention to the doorframe and door jamb. To ensure a good replacement fit, review each replacement door frame. Don't forget to view the various door sidelights and keyed entrance locksets to go with the new door system.
With numerous choices available, it is not a simple decision. Spend some time online and do some comparison shopping. Before making a purchase, research online about materials, style, color, and composition of each type of door. Check the EPA's Energy Star website to find out the energy efficiency rating for wood and metal doors. Visit your local retail store to view similar doors. Visiting a store will help you to make an informed decision. Speak with a knowledgeable salesperson to gather more facts and details. Both types of doors appear equal with regard to safety and security tests. Explore the pros and cons of choosing between a metal and wood entrance door.
Metal Doors: Pros and Cons
Pros: Metal or steel doors are less expensive, durable, secure, and energy efficient. They have more insulation than a wood door. Metal doors comprise half of all door sales. Steel doors require less maintenance.
Cons: Dents, scratches, and rust are common with metal doors. They are less weather resistant than fiberglass or wood doors. To avoid unsightly rust, metal doors need to be painted.
Wood Doors: Pros and Cons
Pros: Appealing look, durable, secure, with easy maintenance and repair. Weather-resistant and less likely to dent compared to metal doors. Scratches are easier to repair on a wood door compared to a metal door. Wood doors are more attractive than metal doors and increase the resale value of a home.
Cons: Wood doors are more expensive than metal doors. Eventually, a wood door will fade, bow or warp and require maintenance. To avoid this warping issue, choose a wood door with rails and styles made of laminated wood topped with a veneer.
If you are thinking about replacing doors in your home or business Action Locksmith Inc. can help. We are a family owned and operated locksmith business proudly serving Michigan residents for over 25 years. Our technicians wear uniforms, cover their feet, cover the floors and clean up after themselves when finished.

Article by Dora Daniels
Who wants to spend a lot of time on the phone or sending tons of parent emails during their plan time or after school? Is there a way to get around this and still have open communication with parents? The answer is yes. It is ClassDojo!
As a teacher, we are always looking for ways to stay connected with our parents, even when we struggle to find the time to do this. The majority of our parents have access to a cell phone or to email. ClassDojo gives the opportunity for parents to sign up and log into their child's account and see daily what is happening in their students' classrooms. For many students, they will also create a student account so that they can visually see how they are progressing with their dojo points.
With ClassDojo, the teacher can award positive feedback for the students daily. Students can get points for being on task, being a leader, turning in homework, working hard, etc. The students could also lose points for different things as well. However, if this seems too negative, it can be turned into a positive piece as well. For example, parents may see why the student has lost a point, such as for missing homework. This gives parents a chance to discuss the issue with the student because they have seen it in the ClassDojo report. Maybe they can help to get that missing assignment submitted. And, at this point, the teacher still has not made one phone call home or sent an email.
One of the biggest things students worry about is always participating and getting incorrect answers in the classroom. With ClassDojo students have the opportunity to be rewarded for a bank of different reasons. It could be from positive behavior in the hallway to helping out in the classroom. Teachers are able to create reasons why students should get points. Therefore, every students in the classroom has the opportunity to earn points which in turn creates a positive learning environment every student wants to be in.
You can also use ClassDojo for a friendly competition in the classroom. Some ideas could be having students on teams and the team at the end of the week wins an incentive. You can have them do individual competitions, too. In my personal experience, I would have a friendly competition within my classroom weekly. So the top three students who had the most Dojo points for the week would be able to choose from a prize. Again, I know that teachers don't want to spend a lot of money so I would use free prizes: sit where you want for a day, free homework pass, extra credit points, or since I taught math, write with a pen for a day (which was a big deal for a lot of students because they were only allowed to write with a pencil in my class).
Throughout all of this, students have a voice in their ClassDojo. Students tend to take ownership when there is accountability. They like to see why they receive a point not for grades but instead for positive actions in the classroom. Students soon realize that that it is not always about being the one with the right answer or the one with the best score on a test to get recognized for positive behavior. They begin to show leadership, they help others, and they make sure that they turn in their homework on time — all of which earns them points. At the beginning of the year, teachers like to set classroom rules and expectations as a class so that the students take ownership in the rules. These could translate into your ClassDojo as well. Students could help determine what are the ways that they could earn and lose points. This way they have a say in the points system.
One last positive communication piece that ClassDojo provides for us as a teacher is the ability to share photos with parents. Parents love to see what is happening in the classroom and engaging activities, so being able to share a photo with them allows them to see engaging experiences.
As a teacher, you always want to make sure that you have a positive learning environment. ClassDojo certainly will do this. I can tell you that my students were so excited (even at a Middle School level) and they wanted to earn points. They could not wait for me to update the growth board to show the new leaders! They also loved being able to go home at night and share the good news with their parents on why they got the points they did.

Ops Lessons About JVM Threads Learned the Hard Way
All engineers with code in production have been in a situation where all the alerts are red, the activity feed is intermittently down, nobody knows what's happening, and the service is on life support. This happened to us in October 2017, when traffic to vevo.com surged and our feed began intermittently failing at 120,000+ requests/sec due to excessive memory consumption.
Over the past 18 months, Vevo has invested heavily in monitoring and alerts, which paid off during this outage. Our ops team was quickly alerted, and in coordination with our on-call engineer, we began our pre-established incident management process.
At a high level, this involves creating a Jira issue and linking it to Slack with the Slack Connector. This automatically creates a Slack channel and mirrors any updates in Slack and the issue comments. This makes reviewing timelines and coordinating action simpler during the initial investigation as well as during later impact analysis.
Afterward, our ops team took immediate action and increased both node count and memory capacity. The service stabilized, despite a steady rhythm of restarts every 5–10 minutes. Now the investigation could begin in earnest to find the root cause.
Using jstack -l 1 | grep "tid=" (lowercase L and one), it was clear that the memory leak was from too many threads. We had more than 20,000 threads all named pool-#-thread-1. In other words, something was creating hoards of single thread executors. The output looked something like this and went on for ages:
After a lot of digging, many incorrect hypotheses, and a liberal use of reflection to name thread pools that were not publicly accessible, we finally found the culprit: a third party websocket library we were using. At first glance, everything seemed fine, but every connected client was being assigned its own Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor() to handle heartbeats and other connected-client messaging. For the most part, these threads were idle: just a few heartbeats per minute and another message at disconnect.
After all the hard work to locate the issue, the fix was fairly simple: create one shared scheduler thread and a pool of worker threads to dispatch the events to the clients. This reduced our thread count and memory footprint substantially since a handful of threads are capable of what was previously being handled by tens of thousands.
Our metrics tell most of the story here. Memory and CPU usage became very flat after rolling out the fix:
Lesson #1: Name Your Threads
The first major takeaway is that if you're using threads, you should be naming them. Tracking this down would have been trivial had the threads been appropriately named. Internally we have a library that wraps Java's Executors class that mandates names so you won't see any generic names coming from Vevo's libraries. Unfortunately, it is extremely common to see generically named thread pools in many libraries; the Executors class just makes it too easy. Here's a simple example for creating a ThreadFactory to provide nicely named threads.
Lesson #2: Understand What Your Java Profiler Is Hiding
The second interesting takeaway is that with threads even using a Java profiler doesn't tell the whole story when examining memory use. Our heap stats looked pretty normal during all this because the majority of memory was being allocated for each thread's stack outside of the JVM.
We've since added metrics reporting to all of our thread pools so tracking down and monitoring thread use across our systems is easier than ever. Using the improved websocket code, which was recently incorporated, we have a nice pool of workers handling thousands of connected clients without a hitch:
Lesson #3: Develop an Incident Management Process Before Your Next Incident
Lastly, in times of crisis, I can't overstate how valuable having an established incident management process is. I shared a few details of how ours works, which is loosely based on this guide, but be sure to find something that works for your team. Slack and Jira work well for us, but the key is that all of our ops, developers, and managers know where to look during an incident to see what is happening and what mitigating action is being taken. This keeps everyone focused on their area of expertise and helps to bring the issue to a close as quickly as possible.

Driving School Offers Teens With Disabilities Path To Independence
HOUSTON — Parker Peddicord has had ADHD and autism symptoms since he was a toddler, when his parents began noticing him becoming socially anxious, unable to focus and uninterested in many tasks.
Parker would barely sleep some nights and frequently forget simple things. He began seeing a therapist at age 3.
By his early teens, Parker's difficulties had improved. He still struggled socially, but his parents, Laura and Bob Peddicord, were hopeful that Parker could one day live independently. Yet one significant question remained unanswered: As someone with special needs, how difficult would it be for Parker to obtain a driver's license?
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
They soon found out.
The Safeway Driving school, a franchise with a location in Katy, offered training specific to people with special needs arising from conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Parker enrolled about two years ago when he was 16.
"We are older parents, so that's one of the things we worried about. You never know what might happen," said Laura Peddicord, 54. "You worry about if something happens to you, will they be able to take care of everything they need to? Because almost everything involves driving."
Nationally, 1 in 68 children has autism, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Scientists, psychologists and specialists at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia published a study this year that found one in three adolescents with autism spectrum disorder acquire a driver's license, compared to more than four in five for other adolescents.
Safeway Driving is the only privately operated driving school in Houston to offer a program specifically for people with special needs, according to Rick Nussle, owner of the school's Katy location in Cinco Ranch. Safeway has more than 15 locations throughout Houston, with Nussle having begun his branch about three years ago.
Safeway uses a program through Social Motion Skills, a consultant for businesses that deal with autism. The program offers students with special needs extra content while training, in-car acclimations, added one-on-one time and options for added training.
For students like Parker, the course can be a lifeline to independence.
It's changed everything, he said.
"It's very hands-on," Parker said of the program. "They helped me all the way through it. They were very patient with me."
Now 18, Parker drives his silver Honda Accord almost daily to his job at a Kroger supermarket in the Katy area. He enjoys picking up doughnuts from a shop near his family's east Katy home and is able to drive himself to therapy sessions in uptown Houston.
Nussle's school has served about 15 people with special needs. Some of them have been adults.
But why are there not more driving schools offering similar services?
Other schools "want to get as many kids through as fast as they can because that's how they make their money," Nussle said. "I've seen schools with four kids in a car at the same time. At Safeway, we do max two kids. I just don't think enough parents know this is out there, or they don't think their kids will be able to drive."
Not enough people realize the service is needed, Laura Peddicord said. It also can be too costly for parents of children with special needs who have to pay for added driving hours. At Safeway, for example, added instruction can cost up to about $2,000, while a basic package for the average student costs roughly $400.
At the same time, the course can seem priceless, Laura Peddicord added.
"It was very important to us because he is a little different (than other kids)," she said of Parker. "And it's not that he shouldn't be driving, but it's just that it's different for him. It's reassuring that there was someone to work with him on that."

In fact, the record represents an apotheosis of every element that at once defined the Florida group since its 1999 formation. Moments of malevolent melodicism give way to taut technical thrash, black metal expanse, punk spirit, and heavy heart tightly threaded together by the musical union of the quartet—Matt Heafy [vocals, guitar], Corey Beaulieu [guitar], Paolo Gregoletto [bass], and Alex Bent [drums]. Unsurprisingly, these eleven songs resulted from an unquenchable hunger for improvement.
"It was a do-or-die moment," exclaims Heafy. "There were no two ways about it. We've always had this will to be better. I started taking inventory of everything we've done right or wrong, and it made me apply that thinking to the new music. What ended up coming about was, in my opinion, a combination of the best things we've ever done. We all agreed, 'We have to make the best record of our career right now.'"
Given their global success, this goal proved nothing short of a tall order. 2015's Silence in the Snow ignited something of a renaissance for the boys. Moving 17,000 copies upon debut, it bowed Top 20 on the Billboard Top 200 and claimed the #3 spot on the Top Rock Albums chart. "Until the World Goes Cold" arrived as their biggest single to date, achieving the band's first Top 10 at Active Rock and generating a staggering 17.1 million Spotify streams and 14.9 million YouTube/VEVO views and counting. The Guardian, Classic Rock, Ultimate Guitar, and more praised Silence in the Snow as they sold out shows worldwide.
Despite the explosive nature of the previous campaign, the musicians quietly commenced work on what would transform into The Sin and the Sentence, collating ideas and assembling songs on the road. Without telling anyone outside of the inner circle, they retreated to the Southern California studio of producer Josh Wilbur [Lamb of God, Gojira] for just a month in 2017.
"By the time we got to Josh, 99% of this was written," explains Heafy. "With Vengeance Falls and Silence in the Snow, we came into the studio with about 50% completed. When we're as prepared as possible, we make our best music. This was more like Ember to Inferno, Ascendancy, Shogun, and In Waves where we brought a cohesive vision into the studio. Josh pushed us to refine that and make it even better. We made the kinds of songs we wanted to hear."
An important first, Gregoletto took the reins writing lyrics. The results freed up Heafy to soar on the mic.
"Matt and I were really collaborative in the studio writing a lot of the lyrics for Silence in the Snow right before he went in to track them," he recalls. "On The Sin and The Sentence, I pushed for lyrics and vocals to start much sooner. We devoted the same amount of time to them as we do to the riffs, drumbeats, and music. We put the lyrics through the ringer. I've helped Matt a lot in the past, but I wanted to learn more about the craft and technical side of writing. I was reading books and trying to glean different things. By the end of it, I was picking up more about how to use rhymes and how words bring momentum to a song."
"This thing was like a film," adds Heafy. "Paolo was the writer. Josh was the director. I was the actor. I feel like I was able to actually get into different headspaces singing the lyrics, because I wasn't the one attached to all of them from creation to completion. I think Paolo did an incredible job."
Without so much as a social media plug or formal recording announcement, Trivium broke the silence about their latest body of work and uncovered the music video for the first single and title track in the summer of 2017. It arrived to a groundswell of fan enthusiasm, racking up 1.9 million YouTube views and nearly 1 million Spotify streams in just four weeks' time. The near six-minute lead-off charges forward at full speed on a double bass drum gallop, thrash intricacies, and hummable guitar lead as Heafy delivers one of his most powerful and ponderous vocal performances ever.
"The idea is condemnation, being ostracized, being pushed aside, and not quite understanding how to deal with those feelings," remarks Heafy. "This is definitely reactionary to the world and things that have happened to us."
"I read this book called So You've Been Publicly Shamed," Gregolotto reveals. "It was all about internet shaming culture. The whole thesis of the book was the amount of punishment for something. Somebody makes a tasteless joke and loses a job. I kept thinking about that and the idea of the witch hunts blaming people for inexplicable happenings. It's easy to pin something on others because you don't like them. You join the mob by attacking someone over something little. The Sin is the infraction to the public. The Sentence is the pile-on and ruining someone's life and career. Does it add up? You might be on the other end at some point, so be careful."
Meanwhile, "The Heart From Your Hate" hinges on a gang chant, fret fireworks, and an undeniable and unshakable clean refrain, "What will it take to rip the heart from your hate?"
"The emotion of hatred is so powerful," Gregoletto sighs. "It's the opposite of love. When someone is deeply in love or hate, it can be very hard to change this person's mind. That was the concept. It's the inability to kill off emotions like that."
"We love to have a dynamic contrast," adds Heafy. "Ascendancy is the fastest thing we've done, but it's got one our simplest songs, 'Dying In Your Arms'. 'The Heart from Your Hate' shows that end of the spectrum."
On the other end, "Betrayer" unleashes a barrage of intensity driven by black metal percussion, tremolo picking, and earth-shaking screams before yet another hypnotic hook.
"I wrote it around the same time as 'The Sin and The Sentence'," says Gregoletto. "They have a brother-sister connection. Matt's speaking directly to 'The Betrayer' who could be a friend, significant other, or someone you thought you knew who ended up using you. It's personal."
Everything leads up to the crushingly epic closer "Thrown Into The Fire." A conflagration of incendiary riffing, guttural growls, and entrancing harmonies, it's a fiery final word.
"I wanted to build a character like a preacher or televangelist who's leading his flock and taking and taking from the congregation," Gregoletto continues. "He's preaching how they should live, but living the opposite."
Following the 2003 independent breakout of Ember to Inferno, Trivium arrived as metal's hungriest contender on 2005's Ascendancy. Heralded as "Album of the Year" by Kerrang!, it stands out as a 21st century genre landmark. As they went on to cumulatively sell over 2 million units, they scorched stages with idols such as Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and more in addition to regularly making pivotal appearances at Download Festival, Bloodstock, KNOTFEST, and beyond. In Waves and Vengeance Falls both soared to the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200 as the band staunchly secured its place in the modern metal pantheon.
By growing by leaps and bounds, Heafy, Beaulieu, Gregoletto, and Bent become what they were always meant to be—Trivium.
"With this, we wanted to knock everything down and think from the ground up about how we write songs," Gregoletto leaves off. "We enhanced everything we've done."
"I want everyone to know we made this with our hearts and souls," Heafy concludes. "It was all or nothing; we gave it our all. We've been through lots of ups and downs and felt like this had to capture that. It had to summarize everything that is Trivium. I feel like we did that." – Rick Florino, August 2017

David Stockman found religion in terms of intelligent economic analysis after his stint as Reagan's OMB director whereby Voodoo Economics reigned supreme, policies that did not work due to how the system was gamed, something very different to how Eisenhower ran things, a president who, IMHO, understood what sound economic policy was all about.
Reaganomics (/reɪɡəˈnɒmɪks/; a portmanteau of Reagan and economics attributed to Paul Harvey)[1] refers to the economic policies promoted by U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s. These policies are commonly associated with supply-side economics, referred to as trickle-down economics by political opponents and free market economics by political advocates.
The four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation.[2]
Stockman's latest missive, The Fracturing Energy Bubble Is the New Housing Crash, rings true regarding Shale Oil, fracking's first cousin, the one trick pony whose rather limited act is in its final phase of existence.
In short, the Fed exported bubble finance to the entire world, but most especially China and the EM. The upshot was an extended era of booming but phony global growth, and a consequent artificially high oil prices at $115 per barrel.
When central bank inflated oil prices were coupled with lunatic junk bond yields in the US shale patch at barely 300 bps over the central bank repressed yield on the US treasury note, the result was the same old bubble thing. Namely, a half trillion dollar flow of high yield bonds and loans to the energy sector, and a wholly artificial explosion of US shale liquids production from 1 million to more than 4 million barrels per day.
Like in the case of the housing bubble, the energy boom was an accident waiting to happen— testimony to another even grander experiment by the madmen running the world's central banks. It is now exploding right on schedule. The plunging graphs subsequent to the housing bust are now being re-gifted to the energy patch and all the bloated, unstable chains of finance and real economic activity which flow from it.
The graph above, which shows that every net job created in the US during the last seven years is attributable to the shale states, will be one of the first to morph into a less happy shape.
But there is something else even more significant. The global oil price collapse now unfolding is not putting a single dime into the pockets of American households—-the CNBC talking heads to the contrary notwithstanding. What is happening is the vast flood of mispriced debt and capital, which flowed into the energy sector owning to the Fed's lunatic ZIRP and QE policies, is now rapidly deflating.
That will reduce bubble spending and investment, not add to economic growth. It's the housing bust all over again.
Any questions?

Stuff I Read This Week
My goodness, but it was a bountiful week! I love bountiful. It makes me so happy to stagger out of the Comic Book Store, weighted down by my purchases.
All-Star Western #10
Actually, I think this may be last month's issue, but for some reason, I didn't find it, so I picked it up today. Tallulah is back! She and Jonah are having horizontal refreshments! Doctor Arkham thinks that they are both psychotic...and he may be right. More Owl stuff, lots of violence, and a really dandy Bat Lash story at the back.
What's not to like?
Batwoman #11
This was nice, if still a little confusing. I'm getting my villains mixed up or something. And Bette wakes up from her coma, purely due to the sheer awesomness of Kate's Dad. It's all very very pretty of course, but I have to admit that it doesn't seem to be going anywhere in much of a hurry.
Birds of Prey #11
Well, Poison Ivy manages to con the rest of them into supporting her in her ecological warfare, since they have all been infected with something nasty that is going to kill them all in six months or so. The evil polluters get theirs, and there is a reasonable amount of mayhem, but I think it is a different artist this issue, it seemed a little wonky to me.
Not bad. Not grat, but not terrible.
Blue Beetle #11
I only picked this up because Booster Gold was on the cover. I rather wish that I had not. I really really loathe this new incarnation of Jaime. His family is nowhere to be seen, Paco is infected with something, and all of the charm, wit and joy of the Giffen/Rogers book is completely absent.
Plus Booster was kind of a jerk.
Fables #119
We continue with the story of Teresa, Queen of the Misfit toys, and Dare, who has gone to rescue her. Too bad for that nice tiger, but I do hope he was delicious. I'm getting a little tired of this particular storyline, it seems as though it has dragged on just a hair too long, so I am looking forward to Bigby showing up and busting some heads or something.
Man, I am whiny today!
Green Lantern Corps #11
Well! More anon!
Justice League #11
Oh good grief. The heroes all manage to shake their problems away, but Wonder Woman is all set on going off and rescuing Steve Trevor. For a reason that is never fully explained, Hal tries to stop her, and gets his extremely fabulous ass handed to him. Barry is running around wringing his hands, Superman is being stoic, Batman is being...Batman, and Cyborg actually seems to be one of the few to have his wits about him.
Graves in the meantime, is harrassing Steve's sister, whic his rather nasty of him. He is an unpleasant person to say the least. The League figures out who he is, and what he is, and what he's been up to, and they all end up at the mystic dead people place. Too bad about Steve though.
Is it me, or does the JLI seem to get along better than this bunch?
Wonder Woman #11
This may not be the REAL Wonder Woman...but boy howdy, this is one heck of a story. Our heroes and heroines made it out of Hell, which is nice for them, but Hera shows up again, and she is still up to her nefarious ways. And Artemis and Apollo show up too, and they're also up to no good. Awfully, awfully good.
Journey Into Mystery #641
Waaaaaaahhhhh! I don't want this to end! It's going to be ending! This is my favorite Marvel book. Why does this always happen to me?
Verily, I am wroth.
Loki and Leah, continue their doublecross of Otherworld, but only with the best of motives, by blowing up stuff like Stonehenge,Hadrian's Wall and some other cool stuff. Arthur, and Captain Britain and all those guys realize that they need to parley, and it all ends pretty well, all things considered, with nobody killed, and the balance of power delicately balanced. When the All-Mother gets all pissy, Loki does point this out.
He also manages to sneak the Grail out, so that Hela can drink from it and restore her hand, which had been chopped off by the Disir,and wasn't healing. Unfortunately, the price for healing Hela, is the continued existance of Leah, her Handmaiden.
Oh Leah! She even looked up what BFF meant. Loki is disconsolate and who can blame him. So he's in no mood to listen to the All-Mother kvetch. It all looks as though it is going to end more or less happily, so too bad about Surtur on that last page.
Damn, I love this book. Damn, I'm going to miss Leah. Who will drink all of Loki's milkshakes now?

Our mission is to put food back into the hands of the people.
Professional all electric kitchens available for rent by the hour or on a subscription basis. Classrooms also available for cooking classes.
Offering affordable, fresh produce grown by local farmers. Handmade products from local small businesses.
A place for community gatherings, events, and classes. An outdoor community bread/pizza oven available.
As a pediatric nurse for 32 years I have seen an increase in the number of kids admitted with obesity and malnutrition, diabetes at a younger age and kids so chronically constipated they are hospitalized for invasive treatment.......all related to poor nutrition and a more sedentary lifestyle than ever before. Treating the results of food inequity and a lack of nutrition knowledge in the hospital or doctor's office is not working as evidenced by these kids suffering on a daily basis. Seeing this year after year, getting worse, I knew I needed to do something to change the pattern. Food access is not enough; we need to do more.
Food matters, that is clear and we need to provide the tools to empower the community to know where their food comes from, provide affordable access, grow their own and learn simple ways to prepare locally grown foods to improve health outcomes. This is something we must do, for the sake of our children.
The food culture of Chicago is robust and unique. We provide a place for seasoned chefs and budding entrepreneurs to thrive and grow within our commercial and teaching kitchen spaces which can be utilized for cooking and teaching classes with video taping capabilities.
Our indoor farmer's market will offer local farmer's, vendors, bakers, artisans, etc a place to sell their products year round.
By collaborating and offering a unique business model we are strengthening the local food supply chain and stimulating small business growth while offering affordable, locally grown foods.
People need community and all community starts around the table. We are creating a space that fosters community engagement and promotes social interaction while providing healthy fresh food and the necessary nutrition education.

'Critics and filmgoers alike declared Goodfellas great' is the quote on the back of my DVD of Martin Scorcese's mafia flick. Which is why, 25 years on, every man and his dog (or should that be rat?) are beside themselves at the news that a screening of this undoubted classic will close this year's Tribeca film Festival, for which the cast and crew will reunite.
Yes sir, Robert DeNiro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci and company will all be gathered at New York's Beacon Theatre for the occasion, and will also stick around for a post-screening Q&A.
It's a double celebration for DeNiro, as he is also the co-founder of the festival, which this year will run from April 15-26. The screen legend beamed: "I was most proud of this film 25 years ago, and equally proud of it now. I'm very happy that it is our closing night film." If all this wasn't enough for fans, a special edition Blu-ray and Digital HD release is also imminent, complete with a brand-new documentary, Scorsese's Goodfellas. If all that doesn't make a wiseguy out of you, then nothing will.
The event will no doubt cause some to puzzle all over again about how the hell Goodfellas ever lost out to Dances with Wolves in the Best Picture category at the 1990 Academy Awards, but nevermind. The Q&A session does at the very least deserve as its chair a funny guy who's here to amuse you – step forward Jon Stewart.
It would only be fitting to leave the last word to Scorsese – hey, to paraphrase the movie, it would be out of respect – without whom the movie would never have seen the light of day: "We broke some rules and took some risks. So it's heartening to know that Goodfellas has come to mean so much to so many people." It certainly has Marty, cheers.

A couple of days ago, I noticed that my Arena account slowed to a crawl (20-30 seconds to load any page just in Arena). The puzzling part is that it is only affecting a few people. After a day and a half of IT running every potential program it could to fix what was initially thought to be a network issue with my Active Directory account, we were still nowhere. So, on a whim and out of ideas, we decided to add my security access and Active Directory login to my test account. It moved at the speed of lightning. So, there is something on my Arena record (and similarly on the others affected) that is slowing Arena down to pretty much and unusable speed. Has anyone else experienced this? We upgraded 5/20 to 2200, but the speed issue just started on Wednesday morning. Any feedback would be appreciated.
There's a few things to check, but I'm guessing it might be related to Subscribed Tags. But just in case, make sure you have a maintenance plan running on your Arena database to rebuild your indexes every so often. What I've been recommending in general is reorganize indexes every night, with a rebuild of your indexes every week.
As for the Subscribed Tags, if the rebuild does not resolve your speed issue, let us know and we can get you a copy of the updated SPROC that generates the information used by the Subscribed Tags module to see if that resolves your issues.
Thanks for this info. Apparently our App Pool crashed as well and now that it has been restored, functionality seems back to normal.
This is new info to me and we have been on Arena for a year. Do you all have some sort of document that has other best practices like this on it?
Reorganizing and rebuilding the indexes are standard practices for maintaining a SQL database. I know there was an older Community post that covered how one church set theirs up, but let me work on putting together what I normally suggest customers setup and steps to implement.
An updated "suggestion" list would be a great resource. Thanks!

With rumors swirling about when next-generation consoles will arrive, it's only natural that they become more prominent. In fact, a recent report suggested the PlayStation 5 could hit stores as early as 2020. The real question is what next-gen will bring to the table in terms of technological improvements. According to Bethesda's Pete Hines, the changes may be incremental, compared to shifts between previous console generations.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Pete Hines revealed he has some insight into next-gen hardware. He isn't allowed to divulge any details, but he did admit to being unsure of what to expect from a technological standpoint. Will the transition from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 feel as momentous as the shift from PS2 to PS3? It's unlikely. Hines had the following to say on the matter:
I am curious to see what it looks like and how it's different. I'm privy to some stuff which obviously I can't really talk about, but there is also a lot that I'm not sure on what it's going to look like. And more importantly how big a shift we can expect.
Hines continued,
I feel like there was a shift from Xbox and PS2 to Xbox 360 and PS3 that was pretty demonstrable. Because we went from the old way to HD and the HD thing was so dramatic. It was night and day. Then you went to Xbox One and PS4 and it wasn't like 'woah'. The graphics folks that are super into it can certainly tell, but to the average consumer they were like ok it still looks good. How much of that will change, I don't know. The rest of it doesn't matter to me because I'm not drawing art or coding or designing. What really matters is what the developers think. What do they need and what are the kind of power and features they are looking for.
It could be that graphical fidelity will no longer be what matters. Perhaps that role will instead go to gameplay features. For instance, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis System isn't up to par on the PS3 and Xbox 360, compared to its use on PS4 and Xbox One. Next-gen consoles could see such a system evolve in a manner that isn't possible with current-gen technology.
Cyberpunk 2077 may take advantage of the still unannounced future technology. As of now, the PS4 and Xbox One could make destructible environments in CD Projekt RED's sci-fi title unachievable. It isn't the only game feeling the constraints of this generation. Detroit: Become Human's photo mode was axed due to PS4's memory limitations.
Pete Hines Unsure of the 'Shift We Can Expect' from Next Gen Consoles

Employers urged not to 'kill the conversation' on social media
Supportive community can boost internal networks, PM webinar told.
Organisations should embrace social media technologies and stop "killing the conversation" through restrictive workplace policies, experts told a People Management webinar today.
Social media is a powerful opportunity that some organisations are not recognising, said Gareth Jones of Brubaker HR, adding that it can promote authenticity, innovation and feedback within the workforce.

The Business Case for Software Charity Licensing
There are more than 985,000 charities in the U.S., with more than 13 million employees. Charities make up a large percentage of the U.S. economy. Some software companies, knowing only that, have a difficult time justifying charity licensing discounts. But there's more to the story, and knowing it proves that offering charity licensing discounts is smart business.Read More

As of December 5th, new candidates to the Quebec Skilled Worker program who want to receive points for language for French and/or English, will have to submit test results along with their application.
For French, only the following tests are valid:
- Test d'Évaluation de Français (TEF)
- Test d'Évaluation de Français adapté au Québec (TEFAQ)
- Test de connaissance du français (TCF) pour le Québec
- Diplôme d'études en langue française (DELF)/ Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF)
For English, only the following test is valid:
Only in the case of French can a spouse be awarded points, and in this case he/she must also take a French test from the establishments mentioned above, and submit results along with the principal applicant's results.
This change is not retroactive, so applications received at Quebec Immigration visa offices before December 5th (or postmarked before December 5th) do not need to submit language test scores - in these cases their language proficiency will continue to be evaluated at an interview. However, according to Robert Baril, Quebec Assistant Deputy Minister for Immigration, "[We] suggest that all candidates whose applications were received before December 5th to [also] submit test scores to confirm their language skills in French and English; this can help the candidate and accelerate the processing of their application."
These changes are universal, applying to all applicants, no matter whether they come from a French or English speaking country or not.
The government states that its aim is to standardize testing to make it more fair for all applicants - whereas previously tests were not required and it was left up to individual visa officers to evaluate each candidate at an interview.
The Quebec Skilled Worker program works on a points system, allocated according to training, age, language proficiency, work experience, family characteristics, and other criteria.

Music is an extremely important component of any wedding day as it sets the tone for the event. It's for this reason that the bride and groom need to have a clear idea of their likes and dislikes as well as what kind of vibe they want for their big day.
Here we go through how you can find the perfect wedding ceremony music match for your big day.
Have a think about what kind of wedding you envision having. Is the ceremony going to take place in a church, on a beach, in an inside venue? If it's going to take place in a church, do you want a soprano, a choir or a wedding mass singer? If it's going to take place in a more bohemian and relaxed setting, you might even want a gospel choir as they are known to bring a lot of colour to celebrations they take part in. If you're confused about what might work best, the rule of thumb is that while a soprano will give a more formal and sometimes even serious timbre to your event, a wedding mass singer is obviously going to be a bit easier to come by and slightly more relaxed in tone. A choir offers the perfect go-between between the two.
1. Wedding Sopranos
2. Wedding Choir
3. Wedding Mass Singers
4. Wedding Gospel Choir
Of course, even if you make a decision about what kind of music you want, it's not always easy to find the right choir or solo singer for you; this is where Get Hitched comes in. At Get Hitched all you need to do is choose what kind of music you'd like for your big day and according to your budget, you'll be matched with someone. If you have a very fixed idea about what it is you want it's paramount that you make an extra effort to try to book as early as possible. This is especially important if you have a spring or summer wedding as specific singers are known to get snapped up months and months in advance and you may have to revert to a completely different genre if you leave everything to the last minute. Once you choose what you want and the site directs you to a specific wedding mass singer or choir, do make use of the Get Hitched message feature to further discuss any ideas that you might have. Get Hitched is the ultimate tool for you to be as hands-on as possible without having to do all the legwork.

WAYNE, NJ – Swedish medical device company Getinge has agreed to a lease at the old Toys'R'Us world headquarters in Wayne.
Many have speculated what would happen to the huge property on the edge of the Point View Reservoir in northern Wayne. It was mentioned as a possible site for a multi-unit housing development to help fulfil the Township's affordable housing obligations.
However, at the public Mt. Laurel informational meeting held early this year, Brian Chewcaskie, one of the attorneys representing Wayne in its affordable housing lawsuits said that the owner of the site (Dobco, Inc.) has no concrete plans for its development.
The old Toys'R'Us headquarters building at 1 Geoffrey Way will clearly remain a commercial building.
Getinge, according to their website, is "a leading global provider of products and systems that contribute to quality enhancement and cost efficiency within healthcare and life sciences."
Their plans for this property is part of a consolidation of Getinge's three New Jersey facilities located in Wayne, Mahwah and Fairfield. Their Fairfield location will be closed, they will move their current Wayne facility to this new location, and they will end up with two primary locations in Wayne and Mahwah.
Wayne Mayor Chris Vergano said: "I'm happy that Getinge is expanding their footprint in Wayne. This will increase the number of jobs here and help our existing retail and dining businesses as well."
They are developing 44,000 square feet of the existing building to create a modern, state-of-the-art work environment and host 200 employees.
What will happen to the rest of the Toys'R'Us property? Only time will tell.

The final version of Android O is now ready and launching on August 21. A live streaming event from New York at 2:40 pm ET that will also coincide with the solar eclipse is about to bring this event to us. At Android.com/eclipse, they are already counting down the event. "Android O is touching down to Earth with the total solar eclipse," the site promises, "bringing some super (sweet) new powers!"
As we known that Android sucks at security, Google has finally paid a little attention to it. Lots of security enhancements are added in the new version which includes "Google Play Protect" anti-malware branding. Also, Android 8.0, or Android-O, brings Project Treble onboard, a modularization of the OS separate from the hardware. It will help developers control new Android updates.
For the present, Android O is growing out of its fourth developer preview launched in March. It is much known already through many leaks. It reformats the notification panel with a new layout, colors, and features, and Google is tightening background apps for more of a lucid performance that can compete with iPhones along with a better battery life. There are new emojis, a faster startup, and a new settings app added up.
We are going to see an audaciously visible change in looks and design.
So, as we see, the event is very close and very soon we are to witness this giant leap from Google that is to introduce a whole lot of new ways Android is seen while as there are rumors, we may also witness a few basics of future technologies Google is looking forward, like Google Lens and other, so to say.

If you have a favorite literature-related quote, send it to me. If I like it, I'll post it on the blog. Hey, it may even make it's way into the new book.
The truth is, in other words, that there never was a scheme nearer to the deepest reality of life than that of the old romance of chivalry. If we must have a merely elementary statement of essential religion, that is the right outline of the story: that Man is sent forth by an authority that is good, like King Arthur or a fairy godmother, into a world that is wonderful, but contains dangers and temptations, like dragons and wizards; that he is sent upon a quest or trial; that is, that he is judged by the same authority that sent him forth. That is the story at the heart of all healthy life and literature; and it is quite true that people who are healthy can sometimes act on it without arguing it out. But if they
argue it out, they will find it implies certain dogmas; as that there is a design, that it is a benevolent design, but that it does allow of free will, and makes the good a matter of choice. Those who thought they could hold that healthy romance for ever, merely by being healthy and without holding any of the dogmas that justify it, are more and more finding out their mistake. Hence, when they are asked to state what they really do believe about life, they become "desperately vague." And they have now reached the point where it is not only more and more difficult to state a creed, but even more and more difficult to tell a story.

Something occurred to me this weekend that I had never thought about before. You know how you know certain things, and you know other things, but then you put them together and BAM! That's what happened.
Now this might be old news to you, but for me....I'm loving it. Here's what occurred to me...
So, in Ephesians my Bible tells me that God "chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ." That's one thought I already knew.
The other thought is in Psalm 139, where it says "My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth." Yup, God made me. I knew that already, too.
What I had never contemplated before was the order of events, God chose me BEFORE he made me. That means when he made me, he already knew I was his. He knew I would be his child before he put me together with my personality and preferences. So, when I became a Christian these things needed to be redeemed NOT removed. As my husband so eloquently put it, God made you weird and that's the way he wants you! A redeemed weird!
This makes me so happy! Just knowing (being reminded) that I do not need to fit into any "Christian mold" to be pleasing to my Maker makes me SO very happy. Too much of my life has been spent trying to be what I thought I needed to be to please God, when really He was pleased with me when he made me - just the way he made me.
