Two-seater Thunderbirds have been a staple of the hobby since, well, the very beginning. The appeal of cars like this '56 Thunderbird is easy to understand: V8 power, a carefree attitude, a top that goes down, and lots of style. This is a great driver that shows well, offering a great Thunderbird experience at the right price.
Admittedly, Thunderbirds are popular cars and there are a lot of them for sale at any given moment, but if you've looked at them, you already know that good ones are sometimes tough to find. This one has been in the same family for decades and was given a pretty comprehensive cosmetic freshening a few years ago in its original code E Colonial White. For many, the '56s are a favorite with numerous upgrades over the '55s, a continental kit, and a purer look than the '57s, and there's nobody who doesn't smile when they see this little convertible coming. The paint shines up well and while there are a few touch-ups here and there, that only means that it has been properly enjoyed because there's nothing worse than a car that has been sitting. Door gaps are good (a rarity in Baby Birds), and the fender skirts (which, oddly enough, were optional) fit well. Chrome, which is always a big part of any '50s car's appeal, is good to excellent with the rear bumper offering built-in exhaust ports in the outer corners. Look it over carefully and you'll see that there is a lot to like here.
The code XB red and white interior is really the best choice with the Colonial White bodywork; after all, the idea behind the Thunderbird isn't to keep a low profile. The seats and carpets were restored a few years ago and show minimal wear and the wrap-around feeling of the cockpit is enhanced by the door panels, which feature bright engine-turned inserts like the dash. With that big wrap-around windshield, a lot of T-Birds have baked dash pads, but this one looks quite good and the original speedometer uses a Plexiglas window on the back to really light things up. It also offers power windows, a power seat, and a Town & Country AM radio, although it's not currently operational. On the other hand, all the gauges work and the white convertible top stows easily behind the seat. Ford moved the spare tire outside the trunk to answer complaints about a lack of space, and this car features a replacement mat and a jack assembly.
With 312 cubic inches and a 4-barrel carburetor, Ford's Y-block V8 is a perfect companion to the open air experience. It's smooth, torquey, and generally unobtrusive, doing what you want without ever seeming to work hard. This one was pulled in September 2014 and examined and had a new rear main seal installed, but everything was in great shape, so they buttoned it back up, detailed it thoroughly and dropped it back into place. It starts easily and runs well, and with a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission and power steering, it's just a pleasure to drive. It's quite well detailed with proper Ford Red paint on the block, a dress-up kit, and nicely finished exhaust manifolds that really make a big difference. The chassis shows signs of having been driven and enjoyed, of course, but no major trouble spots. Wide whitewall radials make a huge difference in performance and tuck neatly behind the skirts on original wheels.
Just a nice Thunderbird at the right price. You could spend more for a perfect one, but why? This one will make you smile every time you see it. Call today!

- The 2016 Santander Canning Lecture discussed how Chile is a well-functioning market economy that presents a myriad of opportunities for UK exporters
Delivered by Her Excellency Michelle Bachelet, President of the Republic of Chile, this year's Canning Lecture outlined some key reasons why UK exporters should not only strengthen their relationships with Latin America, but also focus their attentions on Chile in particular.
Chile is a well-functioning market economy of long-standing, said President Bachelet, with an open foreign investment regime, strong fiscal position, and sophisticated capital markets: an ideal environment for UK exporters to thrive. Indeed, despite the impact from the end of the commodities boom, Chile has reported economic growth (predicted to be 2.6% in 2016, and averaging 4% by 2017-20), with inflation due to fall within the 2-4% target range, and with low oil prices expected to help keep the country's current account deficit manageable.
President Bachelet: "In the last twenty years, we have reduced poverty levels from 38% to 8% of the population, and the GDP per capita, adjusted to purchasing power parity, has risen from US$5,800 to more than US$23,000 – the highest in the region."
Yet it's trade that makes Chile so remarkable. The country possesses one of the world's most extensive networks of free-trade agreements, and it is hoped the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will further expand access to foreign markets and compensate for the modest size of Chile's domestic market. What's more, Chile's relationship with the UK is strong: while only the sixth largest Latin American country in terms of population, it is the second largest UK export destination in the region. The UK, in turn, is the sixth largest foreign investor in Chile.
President Bachelet: "65% of our GDP is linked to trade, and we're negotiating more. We have trade agreements with 62 countries, which gives us access to 85% of global GDP and 63% of the world's population."
Other topics addressed by President Bachelet included: investment in energy, infrastructure, and health; the renewal of the EU-Chile Association Agreement; and economic and social inclusion as well as its application to education and sectors such as communication. She also discussed support for entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises, innovation and new technologies as a development model, and, of course, strengthening the relationship between Chile and the UK.
Mauricio Munguia, Latin Desk Director at Santander Corporate and Commercial Banking said: "Santander's participation in this event reflects its long-standing support for trade with Chile – recognising it as a pillar of UK-Latin American trade. Despite being faced with the end of the commodities boom, Chile has adjusted to the new trade landscape and has cemented its position as one of Latin America's most competitive economies. Chile's sustained economic growth is supported by its openness to trade, which has distinguished it internationally as an innovative and dynamic market. UK companies looking to export to Latin America, should consider Chile as a target market."
John Carroll, Head of Product Management & International Business, Santander Corporate and Commercial said: "The Canning Lecture is one of the most high-profile Latin American affairs events in the UK, and Santander is proud to support. Today we have seen that the opportunities for trade between the UK and Chile are vast, although entering any new market can be daunting. Santander has a strong, local network here in the UK and in Chile, meaning we are able to provide on-the-ground support and expertise in both markets, and connect businesses with the right people and opportunities overseas."

- Sponsored Content
Sponsored By How new technology is changing digital media
As digital media evolved to where it is today, the goal was tailored solutions customized to the customer. This would allow closer relationships between brands, agencies, vendors, and consumers. However, more often than not, these solutions and campaigns throw money at large silos of people and hope that they'll reach the target audience.
At the iMedia Agency Summit, Tom Alexander, the founder and CEO of PK4 Media, Inc., welcomed Justin Manfredi, senior director of digital marketing at Activision, and Chris Scuro, west coast digital marketing manager at Team Detroit, to discuss the future of digital media offerings.
For cross-platform targeting, it's essential to stop siloing. The brands that are getting it right are the ones that take the time to create tailored content. An example of a brand that has been successful in this field is Lexus, who recently built a Facebook campaign with more than 1,000 pieces of content to reach its specific audience. This allows for a unique and customizable experience for many demographics.
How can an agency convince a brand of where to put their spend dollars? It's simple, according to Manfredi. The answer is ROI, because although metrics don't always show the whole picture, it's important to have those numbers in hand when the CEO wants to know why you made the decisions you did. Scuro suggests, however, you can't live and die by the numbers. This over-reliance on metrics can hurt you more than help in some cases. The human part of digital media is an essential aspect, and it's important to keep the ability to make gut decisions.
Another important aspect for brands, agencies, and vendors alike is to choose reliable partners. The best partners bring the best-in-class opportunities directly to you, and you both help each other grow and flourish. Scuro encourages you to make full use the relationships and to use both sides of the coin. "You need trusted partners because sometimes they know it better than you," he said. In return, you provide your own unique knowledge and skills and everybody benefits.
As for how to encourage your customers to find their way through the tunnel, it's important to find the right opportunities to provide the right experiences, and to be ready to jump on them when they do appear.
So where is the future of digital marketing going? According to Manfredi, targeting won't go back to silos -- it will continue to be more integrated, and more and more social integration will be increasingly important. Social is the platform where most people are redirecting their communications with brands, and you have to embrace it.
How can you differentiate yourself from the competition?
Focus on standing out with human relationships and creating bonds. Don't forget to do your homework -- on the client and the business. There are so many others competing for that same attention that you have to prove your worth. And finally, Scuro said, "tell me the one thing that nobody else does that you can do."

As her practice deepened, she observed family and friends struggle with life's challenges and pressures. She looked for accessible, secular meditation styles that might help them realize the same benefits she had in her own life. Marcy studied McLean Meditation Institute founder Sarah McLean's meditation teachings and through them experienced more benefits to her mental, emotional, and physical health.

2010 Detroit: Chinese Automaker BYD Coming to America This Year
BYD Automotive plans to enter the U.S. market in 2010 with an electric vehicle, the Chinese automaker announced today at the Detroit auto show. The automotive subsidiary of BYD ("Build Your Dreams"), which was created in 2003, claims to be undergoing federal crash testing certification and is in talks to start a dealer network. The West Coast would be its most likely starting point.
The pictured e6, a four-door vehicle similar in size to the Mazda5, will be the first Chinese car available in the U.S. Its electric motor produces 101 hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque, and BYD claims the e6 can travel 205 miles on a single charge under optimum driving conditions. Zero-to-60 mph takes less than 14 seconds, and the e6 tops out at 87 mph.
Henry Li, BYD's export general manager, said the company plans to produce the e6 in China and export it to the U.S. during its planned first phase of expansion. According to Li, the company looks to open a manufacturing operation here if the sales numbers support it.
The first target, however, is dominance in its home country. In a press conference today, BYD announced it is seeking to become China's largest automaker by 2015. By 2025, BYD wants to be the largest automaker in the world. The company claims to have sold 450,000 vehicles in 2009, making it the fourth largest automaker in China. Next year, it aims to sell 850,000 vehicles.
Do you think the time is right for China's entry into the U.S. automotive market? Let us know in the comments section below. Then head over to our 2010 Detroit auto show coverage page for live updates on show happenings from Cobo Hall.

StormWatch '15
Most forecasters had the storm forming closer to the east coast. It actually blew up about ninety miles away from the expected location. New York and Philadelphia were spared major blizzard conditions. New England got hammered.
I was listening to KYW radio on my way back from a Monday assignment for Newswatch 16. Philadelphia's mayor was sounding the alert. I can't blame him. Based on the forecast, it was the right thing to do.
Speaking of radio, KYW in Philadelphia and WCBS in New York did an outstanding job. Radio is an outstanding medium in a storm. Unfortunately, very few operators get that.
A National Weather Service forecaster in the New York metropolitan area apologized for a blown forecast. Hey, he was only 90 miles off. That's not bad. The CBS TV overnight news got reaction from another meteorologist. He said there was no need to apologize. The second meteorologist brought up those "cones of probability" we see during hurricane season. We make allowances for hurricanes to wobble. Winter storms don't get that.
The National Weather Service is in the process of upgrading its computers, and therefore, its forecasting. What took them so long?
I'll let in you on my way of thinking, which has served me well over the years. I'm always wary of those forecasts that depend on a number of factors to come together to form a mega event. For example, a low has to come up with the coast, merge with another low, get a shot of cold air, suck in some moisture, have the jet stream steer it to the proper location... You know where I'm going. There are a lot of times, the scenarios are on the money. But then again...
I'm not sure if the real problem was the blown forecast, or the endless media hype?

Read up on their advantages, plus how to pick the right online school and how employers perceive them.
ONCE CONSIDERED a poor substitute for the real thing, online higher education degrees are moving into the mainstream. These days they're fully embraced by high-quality public and private not-for-profit institutions, which collectively serve 70% of all online students.1
Even the Ivy League is in on the action. And an increasing number of students are turning to online courses for their undergrad and grad degrees. Online MBA, anyone?
While the cost per credit tends to be similar for both online and on-campus students, their other advantages may be hard to ignore. The flexibility of being able to study at night and work by day that online programs offer students, as well as the cost efficiency of learning remotely (no housing or travel expenses to consider), make them a tempting option, says Richard Polimeni, head of Education Savings Programs, Bank of America. He adds, "Both federal aid and 529 accounts can be used to cover eligible expenses for online students."
"Both federal aid and 529 accounts can be used to cover eligible expenses for online students."—Richard Polimeni, Head of Education Savings Programs, Bank of America
As for how employers perceive these "virtual" degrees, "there's a growing awareness that online or on the ground doesn't matter. What matters is the institution," says Dr. Joshua Kim, director of Digital Learning Initiatives at the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning. If you're looking to join the ranks of online degree seekers, Kim suggests that you consider the following.
Take a test run. One advantage of online education is that many courses are now offered à la carte. Taking an online course or enrolling in a multicourse certificate program can help you evaluate whether an online degree track is right for you.
Check out the reputation of the program—and opportunities for networking. Make sure the school you're interested in is accredited by using this search tool from the U.S. Department of Education. "Keep in mind that it's not just the degree that's valuable—it's the network," Kim says. When researching programs, look for notices of group work and opportunities to meet in person. Pursuing an online degree at an in-state institution may also help build your network by making it easier to meet with classmates and professors in person. This might explain why more than half of online students attend programs in their state.2
Do your homework on the instructors. Online degrees may give you access to professors who are professionals working in your field. But a program run entirely by adjuncts should be a red flag, says Kim. "A good professor will be responsive and work hard to create a community among the online students, whether it be through discussions, a blog or group project work," adds Debra Greenberg, director, Retirement and Personal Wealth Solutions, Bank of America, who teaches marketing as an adjunct professor at Rider University.

Difference Between Potassium & Potassium Citrateby Loise Kinyanjui
There are many salts that are produced when potassium reacts with metals or other compound. These salts include potassium chloride, potassium iodide and potassium citrate. Although it is obtained from potassium, potassium citrate differs from it in various ways.
Potassium and potassium citrate are formed by two different processes. Potassium is an alkali metal and is an ionic salt in nature. It is commonly found dissolved in seawater and can be extracted from other minerals. It looks silvery-white. Potassium citrate, on the other hand, is a salt formed when potassium reacts with citric acid. It is usually white in color and has a saline taste.
Reaction With Water and Air
Potassium reacts exothermically with water. It reacts violently and it even displaces hydrogen. The reaction leads to the production of hydrogen gas and potassium hydroxide. Potassium is also very reactive with oxygen. If left exposed to air, potassium will react with oxygen to form potassium oxide. Potassium citrate does not react with either water or oxygen under normal conditions. It does not need to be stored away from air, as there is no reaction between the two.
Potassium has a number of uses, both industrial and domestic. It reacts with water and other chemicals to form potassium hydroxide, a strong base used to neutralize acids. One of its compounds, potassium chromate, is used in many industries, especially in the manufacture of inks, fireworks, flypaper. It is also used by plants to control water loss in the stomata. Potassium is also a very important mineral in our bodies. It controls acidity levels, osmotic balance, blood pressure and some muscle activities. Potassium citrate is used to treat a number of diseases such as urinary pain. When ingested, potassium citrate is absorbed rapidly. It is then excreted as carbon in the urine. This eases the pain of urinating for patients who have that condition. It is also prescribed to prevent kidney stones from forming.
Potassium citrate is commonly found in chemists and pharmaceuticals. It is usually found as a pill. Potassium is used in most industries, and in various compounds such as potassium chloride or potassium iodide. It also is in some medications.

On December 7, Verkhovna Rada has made an important step to energy independence – has passed the amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine. Bill 6776 has been voted for by 252 MPs.
According to the approved document, starting January 1, 2018:
- a stimulating royalty on the natural gas, produced from new wells onshore, of 12% and 6% for wells above and below 5 km deep, respectively, has been introduced;
- a stabilization clause is introduced for such projects – a ban for increasing the royatly rates for 5 years (until 2023);
- the royalty rate for PSAs are returned to 2% and 1.25% for oil and gas, respectively (on such PSA projects, the investor usually transfers part of the goods produced to the country);
- the royalty rate for gas condensate is levelled out with the royalty for oil (29% and 14% depending on the depth), starting 2019.
"A true holiday has been gifted by the President, the Government, and the MPs, by making the strategically important step towards large investments in the domestic gas production industry" – stated Roman Opimakh, the executive director of the Association.
This year, we still have the bill 3096-d to be passed, which should speed up land allocation for wells, and simplify the permitting procedure for petroleum projects, as well as help organize serious auctions on new fields and PSA projects.

With The Walking Dead's 100th episode, "Mercy," paying subtle tribute to the first episode of the series, "Days Gone Bye," it's no surprise that this week's episode pulled from Season 1 as well. It was a shocking wayback twist that brought Juan Gabriel Pareja's Morales back to the show for the first time since leaving everyone behind in the first season's penultimate episode, "Wildfire."
Morales, for those who need a refresher, was one of the original cast members of the show. He, along with wife Miranda and children Eliza and Louis, were a part of the Atlanta-adjacent survivor group that included Lori, Shane, Carl, the Dixon brothers, Carol and her family, Dale, Andrea, and Amy.
We never discovered Morales' first name, or the exact circumstances of how his family became a part of this group, but he was one of the first people Rick met after being rescued by Glenn and brought inside the abandoned department store ("Guts"). There was never much more to Morales' character other than just being a decent guy who loved his family and put himself in danger to help others (he did, after all, crawl into the sewer tunnels under the store by himself to search for an exit).
Upon returning to the survivor camp, Morales was the one who insisted that everyone tell Daryl the truth about what happened to his brother, Merle back on the roof of the store - again, showing the he was a standup guy, even in the face of a zombie apocalypse. Morales was also known for being the dude who started the conversation with Dale about his watch.
The most notable thing about Morales though, and his family, was that he lived. He may have left the show in Season 1, but he didn't die like - say - Ed, Amy, Jacqui, and Jim. He decided not to go with Rick and the rest to the CDC. He took off with his family in a separate car, headed to Birmingham to see if there were any remaining family members there.
Now, it's not like this show to leave us with a dangling thread like that, but it was also probably safe to assume that his Morales and his family died off-screen somehow. Many fans have wondered, over the years, what might have happened to them, but the consensus was that they all, eventually, ripped apart by walkers.
As of "The Damned" however, it seems like that theory was mostly true. Morales is still alive but his family, presumedly, are gone. And not only is Morales alive, but he was now a ruthless member of the Saviors, in the mansion that Rick and Daryl infiltrated in search of a large stockpile of weapons.
At first, we saw Rick pick up a photograph and come to a very abrupt realization. After surviving a brutal brawl just minutes earlier, Rick was already shaken, but the fact that he seemed to recognize the man in the photo (who we couldn't see yet) indicated that things were about to get a lot worse.
With a gun pointed right at Rick's head, Morales revealed himself. It took Rick a few seconds to put all the pieces together since, as Morales acknowledged, Atlanta "was a long time ago." From what we can guess, at this point, things did go majorly south for Morales and his family and he probably lost all of them horribly.
Negan's Saviors have a way of not only absorbing bullies and bastards into their ranks, but also lost souls. Those who have nothing else to lose. It's possible that Morales, in a lost mental state the way we've seen so many other characters on the show (Abraham, Morgan, etc) threw in with the Saviors as a way to take back control in his life and give into his rage.
Morales and Rick's shared past was obviously not enough to get Rick off the hook here. Morales told him it was over and that he'd already signaled the rest of the Saviors to come and help - which was also a slight ironic jab since one of the things Rick gave Morales when he left back in Season 1 was a walkie-talkie.
Now, do you think Morales was just learning about Rick's role in the war during this very moment or do you think he's been keenly aware, for a while, that the guy out there battling Negan was, specifically, Rick Grimes: The Cop He Knew Years Back? It feels like Morales already knew that enemy "Rick" was his Rick. What do you think?

Classroom Applications
Getting Students Talking
By Kristy Brugar
University of Oklahoma,
Norman, OK
In working with pre-service and in-service teachers, I often ask, "Why do we want students talking?" In response to this question, many teachers take a deep breath or look skeptically to their colleagues while someone inevitably says, "We don't want them talking," and the group begins to giggle. While the idea of a quiet classroom implies learning to some, many of the teachers with whom I have worked understand that classrooms in which students are engaged in academic conversations are places of learning where students want to be involved because their voices are heard.
As a former middle school history teacher and a current teacher educator, I believe it is essential that my students are talking during class. We know that classroom conversations allow students to elaborate and clarify their ideas, synthesize their understandings, paraphrase others' contributions, and question or challenge notions presented (Zwiers and Crawford 2011, 2). In other words, students can demonstrate higher order thinking skills through classroom conversations. Below are three discussion strategies that further these goals.
Roll the Dice
Roll the Dice is a quick and easy strategy to get many, if not all, students involved in a content-based conversation. To enact this strategy, students should be organized in groups of three or four to maximize opportunities to contribute to the conversation. Once in small groups, each group is given a die and a series of six inter-related questions about a concept or the topic that is being studied (see Figure 1). The questions are dependent on some knowledge of concepts or content but are open-ended so that students have the chance to continue to develop their understandings - to think more deeply and be presented with varied perspectives.
To begin, each student is prompted to roll the die and answer the corresponding question. After the student shares what she knows (or what she does not know), others in the group may comment or ask questions before moving on to the next student. If students roll a number that has been previously rolled and answered, they should answer the question again. This is an occasion to re-visit what they know and what they have heard from others. This process continues for a set period of time (e.g., seven minutes) to ensure each student has had the opportunity to roll and answer at least one time. Thus all students have a voice within the classroom and around this content. Finally, because the questions are inter-related, it is not essential for all numbers to be rolled; the "big ideas" associated with the collection of questions can be addressed by simply answering one or two of the questions.
|Concept Example: Citizen
1. Who is a citizen/are citizens?
2. What are the rights of citizens?
3. What are the responsibilities of citizens?
4. How are rights and responsibilities granted to citizens?
5. In what ways is citizenship similar across time and place?
6. In what ways is citizenship different across time and place?
Content Example: The American Revolution
1. What is a revolution/to be revolutionary?
2. Why did Americans risk everything for revolution?
3. Why did the British lose the American Revolution?
4. Why did the Americans win the American Revolution?
5. Was the American Revolution revolutionary? Explain.
6. What three things do you think we should all know about the American Revolution?
Figure 1: Examples
Say Something!
Say Something is a strategy designed to help students better understand text through conversation (Burke, Harste, and Short 1996). As with Roll the Dice, students are organized into groups of two or three, and for this strategy students are given a text to read together. This could be a chapter or section from their textbook or a primary source. Depending on the grade level of the students and the length of the reading, students are directed to read a few sentences or a paragraph before stopping and summarizing what they have read. To begin, one student reads her assigned section to her group members, after which she stops reading to "say something." The student may ask a question, clarify information, comment on the text, develop a prediction, or make connections beyond the text. For example, students may be reading The Declaration of Sentiments and as one student reads, "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course." When the student stops reading, she may say something like, "This sounds familiar; have we read this before?" To which a peer might comment, "It sounds a lot like the Declaration of Independence that we read earlier this year. Why would they use the same words?" And the conversation would unfold from there as the members of the group respond to readers' comments. Students are encouraged to record this information (e.g., questions, comments) in the margins of their reading or as part of their class notes.
Ochoa-Becker (2007) claims students are motivated by a desire to resolve contradictions and to justify their own beliefs. In order to help students to be thoughtful and reflective about historical issues and content, teachers use questions to explore students' positions/perspectives on various issues. The teacher may pose a variety of questions from evidence-based to value-based. Fishbowl is a discussion strategy in which students participate in, as well as observe, small conversations (Maxwell and Meiser 2001). Prior to the discussion, students are given the question(s)/prompt(s) in order to think about what they know, understand, have questions about, and are willing to share. The most effective prompts are open-ended to allow for multiple perspectives and opinions. For example, "In your opinion, what was/is the most significant event of the Civil Rights Movement?" In response to this prompt, students may use evidence or feelings, and make predictions or inferences in order to respond.
For a Fishbowl discussion, the classroom is organized with a center table where four to six students (or "fish") sit, and there is a space for the remaining members of the class to gather around them (they become the "bowl"). The teacher may ask for volunteers to serve as the first "fish" or the teacher may assign students to play this role. Those four to six students serving as fish are the only students who can speak during the discussion. When a student who is serving as part of the fishbowl is ready to contribute to the conversation, she moves from the bowl and taps one of the fish on the shoulder to let that student know she would like to take the seat. Students are encouraged to address the question(s) provided by the teacher, as well as question one another, re-visit ideas, and make connections to things previously learned or to current events. It is important for students to share their ideas but it is equally important for students to listen to and try to make sense of others' ideas and perspectives.
Fishbowl discussions range from 10-15 minutes; thus, after the discussion it is important to de-brief with students. Students are encouraged to think about what they learned from the discussion, the ways in which they contributed to the conversation, and what questions they still have about the content. This can be done verbally or in writing.
As we think about dynamic, engaging history classrooms, they often involve student conversations and discussions. As teachers, it is important to have a goal for these discussions (i.e., content and skills), be able to assess the discussions, and have rich guiding questions.

Talk:2158: Qualifiers
I'm not entirely sure he's "run out of" qualifiers after 20 minutes per se. It may just be that he has finally decided what he wanted to say was "hi" and he otherwise may have still gone on with additional qualifiers (potentially even repeating some of them since there is no indication that they must be unique). 18.104.22.168 16:49, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- I agree. Given the punch line of the main comic, the message "hi" is probably just the first applicable message Cueball came up with. Don't get me wrong, hear me out on this, I know everything is subjective, I'm not an expert or anything, correct me if I'm mistaken, anything is possible, I've been wrong before, Lord only knows, life is funny, your mileage may vary, I can't believe I'm saying this, it's just an impression I get, it could be any other explanation, maybe the jury is still out on this, but I don't think there's any practical limitation to gratuitous preamble or equivocation. I think when it's done professionally that's called politics.

"although it actually fits in White Hat's unusual mentality." I disagree. All of the xkcd figures usually think a little outside the box; that's why it's funny. I haven't seen anything anywhere suggesting that White Hat is the type to listen endlessly either. Thoughts? That's right, Jacky720 just signed this (talk | contribs) 20:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Aren't all white hats rule-obsessed compulsives with completion fixation?

Mississippians enrolled in Medicare have less than one month to sign-up for supplemental insurance coverage. As MPB's Desare Frazier reports there is a lot to consider.
Open enrollment is underway for Medicare recipients who want to purchase supplemental insurance coverage often referred to as Medigap. The supplement covers what Medicare doesn't pay. Ivory Craig is with Mississippi AARP, which endorses a series of suplemental plans offered through United Healthcare. She says supplement options can include deductibles, co-pays and prescriptions. Craig tells people to review their coverage because policies change every year.
"Because some plans will change a Medicare term, formularies for the prescriptions that they cover or if you're in a network, your doctor may no longer participate, your hospital may no longer participate," said Craig.
Craig says consider 4 C's: convenience, coverage, cost and customer service when picking a plan. Costs for coverage varies. Navigating through all the options can be a challenge. Amanda Ward is with the Mississippi Department of Human Services, which does not endorse any particular plan. She heads the state health insurance assistance program. Ward says they have counselors at Area Agencies on Aging statewide to help seniors make the best choice.
"The hardest part for individuals is just grasping the terms or the benefits that are being offered, how those benefits will work and if those benefits are even what's best suited for that particular person," said Ward.
Ward says counselors will meet with people one-on-one, help them over the phone or online. There is no fee. Ivory Craig with Mississippi AARP says those who are 65 and eligible for Medicare should buy the supplement because pre-existing conditions aren't considered and there is no penalty. The deadline to enroll is December 7. For more information about Medicare supplemental plans visit:medicare.gov or contact the State Health Insurance Assistance Program at:844-822-4622.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been edited to clarify that AARP does endorse a series of plans, and that MDHS does not.

Andy Core is an expert in Work-Life Balance, Wellbeing, and Peak Human Performance
Everybody makes mistakes. It's a normal part of life. You can't let mistakes stop your progress, and sometimes the only thing you can do is move on. Before moving on, however, you should think things over and make sure you learn from the errors you have made.
Certain mistakes will be painfully obvious and the fallout will happen immediately. Other mistakes may be more subtle, and it may take weeks, months, or even years before you realize you had made a mistake.
Mistakes can also be repeated several times over before you realize they are wrong. What you must do, and what is often the hardest part of life, is to stop making the mistake as soon as you realize you've done something wrong. And then you must do your best to avoid making the same mistake again.
If you feel guilty, don't dwell on it. Just figure out the best way to correct the things you've done wrong, and if you can't fix it, try to work around it. Eventually, when the appropriate amount of time has passed, you should be able to look back and know that you are now a better person.

BEIJING — A video showing an S.U.V. running over a toddler while her mother appeared distracted by her phone has prompted hand-wringing on Chinese social media about the perils of overusing smartphones.
Surveillance cameras captured a slow-moving S.U.V. hitting a 2-year-old girl who had veered into its path. Her mother, trailing behind on a street in a provincial Chinese city, had been glued to her phone and appeared not to notice that the vehicle had started moving. By the time an ambulance arrived, the girl had died.
In China, as in the United States and elsewhere, people are clicking, texting and shopping on their smartphones in droves, and many do so while on the move.
About 710 million people in China, or 92 percent of its internet users, go online via their smartphones, more than twice as many as in 2012, government data shows. About a quarter of those use only their smartphones.
The toddler's death last month, in Yueyang, in the southern province of Hunan, has led to an outpouring of anger on Chinese social media about the dangers of being obsessed with one's phone. Even a local government agency weighed in last week, calling for people to cut back on smartphone use.
"Heart-wrenching!" the Shandong provincial prosecutor's office wrote on Weibo, China's version of Twitter. "Put down your phone. Save the children!"
The death of Tutu, as the girl was identified in Chinese news reports, is just the latest example of how "distracted walking" can threaten public safety.
In August last year, a 2-year-old boy in the central province of Henan died after being struck by an S.U.V. near a shopping mall while his mother was engrossed in her phone. And in April, another 2-year-old boy with a phone-addled mother was run over and killed in the eastern province of Anhui.
Liu Qinxue, an expert on smartphone addiction at Central China Normal University in Wuhan, said the Yueyang accident could serve as a warning of the risks of using an otherwise benign, useful device. .
Such use "has existed for a long time, and people normally do not think about the potential dangers it might bring," Professor Liu said. "There's not enough discussion or awareness."
Officials in China have documented and publicized the risks of calling or texting while driving.
In 2014, for example, the Shanghai police said that calling or texting while driving had caused nearly 30 percent of 690 fatal automobile accidents between January and October of that year, according to a report in China's state-run news media. The city's police installed high-definition traffic cameras to identify motorists who use smartphones while driving, and offenders are fined 200 renminbi, or around $30, and penalized through a points system.
In March, a lawmaker from the central province of Hubei proposed in the national legislature that drivers who use phones while on the road be criminally charged.
But policy makers in many countries have paid far less attention to the problem of "distracted walking," according to a 2015 study in the Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering. The study added that pedestrian-crash data was not yet detailed enough for researchers to determine a link between distracted walking and safety problems.
In Hong Kong, a semiautonomous Chinese territory, subway stations have signs that warn commuters not to stare at mobile phones on escalators. Officials in Seoul, the South Korean capital, announced recently that the city would install outdoor signs that warn pedestrians of the dangers of texting while walking.
But such signs are rarely, if ever, seen in mainland China.
Analysts say that smartphones dominate people's lives because they offer seemingly unlimited stimulation.
"The presence of devices that are always on and always on you, that are always stimulating and offer a constant 'feed' of stimulation, have led us to a new kind of psychological state: 'I share, therefore I am,' " said Sherry Turkle, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who studies the relationship between humans and digital devices.
Professor Turkle said in an email that a declining capacity for solitude and self-reflection had given rise to a dependence on smartphones and created a need for phone-free "sacred spaces."
"Talk to your co-workers, talk to your family," she said. "Never bring a phone to a meal. No phones in the car. No phones at meetings or in classrooms. We can find our way back to each other."
Many Chinese social media users have echoed that sentiment since the death of the 2-year-old in Yueyang.
"Head-down tribes, it's time to lift your head now," one commenter wrote on Weibo, using a popular Chinese nickname for smartphone obsessives.

What are the Dueling Darlings? We are a group of friends that met on SCS, travel in each other's swaps and have taken a new twist on crafting to "duel"!
We, the Dueling Darling Divas, have one image/card kit to work with and the other half, the Dueling Darling Dazzlers, have a different image/card kit with the same theme! The object is to see what we came up with using this theme, what stamp was picked and how the divas/dazzlers created with it!
The theme this month is "Being a Kid at Heart". The hostess this month is Kelly, who sent us these great supplies and as usual, there were many to choose from. The challenge this month was to find an item from childhood and incorporate in the card and Kelly sent us a puzzle piece from a Winnie the Pooh puzzle. I knew I had the perfect sentiment to use with the puzzle piece—it is from Gina K's set "Love you to Pieces" This is one of her "Stamps for a Cause" stamp set created to benefit Autism.
So here are the details on the playful card I created:
Image—Riley and Company—Bouncing Ball Riley, Gina K Designs--Love you to Pieces
Cardstock—SU Real Red, GKD White and 2 pieces of paper that Kelly sent—one red with a circle pattern and the other a red, orange, green and blue plaid.
Ink—Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories—Quikutz dies, Copics, Sizzix Hearts embossing folder, Red Ric-rac, white with red print flower, orange button, Heidi Grace faux brads and a puzzle piece donated by Winnie the Pooh
Now make sure to stop by to see the Divas and then your final stop will be a link to take you to see what the Dazzlers created! We are a big group of 16, so this might take awhile ~ and this is just a friendly joust ~ no winners, certainly no losers! Just a craftin', loveable group of friends taking on a monthly joust at card making! :)
I hope you enjoy looking at our creations! Thanks for joining us!!!!!!

Four years ago, The Netherlands made it all the way to the finals before losing to Spain.
Joel Richards is live in Rio De Janeiro looks at whether this year they can go the whole way.
The Netherlands has quickly become one of the most attractive teams to watch at this World Cup, with goals at both ends of the pitch all eyes are on manager Louis van Gaal's team.
The Netherlands squad delivered one of the performances of the tournament with a 5-1 win over Spain. And although there were defensive errors against Australia, with Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie, they have two of the stars of the competition.
Captain van Persie is suspended for the final group game against Chile on Monday-a match that will decide who wins Group B. But van Persie says that the Netherlands have already found the the vital ingredient.
Robin van Persie, Captain Netherlands World Cup Football Team says, "The main thing is to qualify for the next round, and the round after, and the round after that. And do well as a country. because as a country we got our belief back from the first game. That's what matters, the belief wasn't there before the world cup, and thats what makes me proud, we gave the belief back to the people."
Having played in three world finals, Dutch supporters hope this can be their year but there are still reservations that the team can win this competition
The Netherlands faces Chile in its final group game without their captain, but having already qualified for the knock out stage, the team hopes to stay here in Rio right till the very end of the competition.
Netherlands: an early favorite in tournamentFour years ago, The Netherlands made it all the way to the finals before losing to Spain.
At stadiums all over Brazil there are people who are very concerned, and it has nothing to do with how the teams are playing on their field.
With hundreds of thousands of fans visiting for the World Cup, security is a major concern.
For more on that part of the World Cup story, Douglas Smith joins the show.
He is a former assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and currently executive vice president of MWW Public Affairs.

Will Smith Is Probably Going To Play Serena And Venus Williams' Dad In A Movie
At first when I heard that Will Smith wasn't returning for the sequel to 2016's Suicide Squad,I figured it was because he was going to take a long break after starring in Aladdin and the next Bad Boys movie. Because honestly, who wouldn't be tired after granting everyone's wishes in circuit party Papa Smurf drag on one set then chasing bad guys in between thirty minute oxygen tank breaks on another? Not Will apparently, because now he's ready for his next thespian challenge by taking on the role of Venus and Serena Williams' father/coach Richard Williams in an upcoming movie titled King Richard.
According to Deadline Will must have been doing those other movies and thinking to himself "I'm not getting any nominations for this shit so I better find some better roles." Enter Zach Baylin, King Richard scriptwriter who had Will specifically in mind for the role of Richard Williams. And I'm sure that Will is going to bring his A Game to this project because once you take a peek behind the magic of Venus and Serena you'll discover the tale of a man who wanted the best for his daughters and would stop at nothing to get it! Oscar bait!
Despite having no tennis background, he overcame tremendous hardship, skepticism and his own troubled past to raise two of the game's greatest players. When his daughters were around the age of four, Richard Williams drew up a 78-page plan for their professional tennis careers. He began giving them tennis lessons and the girls learned the game on cracked, weedy public courts in Compton, reportedly after their father brawled with young toughs who were not fans of the sport and would not make way. The Williams sisters went on to become two of the greatest female players in tennis history, with Serena arguably the best ever, with 23 Grand Slam tournament wins. Venus Williams has won seven Grand Slam titles.
This movie will have everything it needs to cut in front of the line during awards season. There will be drama, tragedy and ultimately triumph where we'll be treated to Will's go-to emotion of letting one lone tear drop slowly trickle out of his eye after the first epic win. I'm down for this movie as of right now. However, I will not cosign any of this if Will tries to make it a vehicle for his daughter Willow Smith by casting her in the roles of both Venus and Serena. To my knowledge there is no Oscar for Best Use of Nepotism. At least, not yet.

The City of Burbank has entered a partnership with OpenGov, to offer the public a transparency portal that provides enhanced access to City financial information via the City's website burbankca.gov.
OpenGov is the world's first integrated cloud solution for public sector budgeting, reporting, and open data. The online portal will make important financial information easily accessible to residents, elected officials, and the media. The platform, which is now live, opens data to the public which enables greater understanding of city budgets while fostering more transparent governance and informed decision-making.
"We encourage our citizens to try this new tool and learn more about how their government works for them," said Financial Services Director, Cindy Giraldo. "They will likely discover the OpenGov portal and its modern graphics to be quite intuitive. Understanding city budgets can be difficult. We hope that will change once people go online and start exploring and learning at their own pace."
The new platform will help inform citizens with easy to understand reporting on financial trends and spending patterns of the city. Citizens can quickly explore the data to uncover insights and create easy-to-use visualizations that clearly depict the budget breakdown, allowing taxpayers to see where their money is going.
"Burbank is taking progressive and proactive steps to ensure its citizens can easily access and understand how their taxpayer dollars are being spent," said OpenGov CEO Zac Bookman. "This new, easy-to-use transparency platform will enhance civic engagement, build trust, and bolster government accountability."
Burbank's OpenGov platform can be viewed at burbankca.opengov.com.

While they're still entertaining to watch, we often know what to expect from an episode of our favorite reality TV shows these days. For example, on HGTV's home improvement show Fixer Upper, we always expect that the renovations will be absolutely stunning.
But we certainly didn't anticipate the show's February 27 episode would end with a surprise wedding proposal. During the episode, former U.S. marine TJ and his girlfriend Stephanie enlisted the help of Fixer Upper hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines to update their home in Waco, Texas.
After revealing the beautiful renovations, Chip turned to the excited couple and said, "We hope you love the house. We hope this kickstarts the rest of your life."
That was the perfect segue for TJ to pop the question.
TJ turned to Stephanie and pulled out a ring from his pocket. "I just love you so much, and I know we've been on a lot of great adventures and I think this marks the beginning of our greatest adventure," the U.S. marine said. "Will you marry me?"
Stephanie, overcome with tears and joy, happily replied, "yes!"
Joanna was also super touched by this precious moment. The host tearfully hugged the soon-to-be-bride and congratulated her. "This is so exciting,' she said. "What a gift!"
Together, all four of them celebrated the beginning of the couple's next chapter in life on the porch of the newly remodeled starter home.
"What a beautiful start to the rest of your life," Chip said. "We both sincerely hope you live here happily ever after."
Fans could hardly contain their emotions after the romantic moment aired.
Now, this is the kind of reality TV we love.
