Members and Organizers with Bus Riders Unite were at the TriMet Board Meeting on the morning of September 18th to testify in support of the #UpWithRiders campaign. Together, we will stop fare hikes and win safe and accessible public transit that is free of fares, congestion, and racial profiling!
Two major revelations came from the public comment portion of the meeting, revealing a lack of vision and oversight at TriMet.
- The once-secret Bottomly Memo was discussed. TriMet's Bernie Bottomly privately sent a memo to the Metro T2020 Task Force, and the memo was leaked to BRU. The Bottomly Memo states that TriMet's objects to service enhancement dollars coming from the 2020 Metro funding package. This, despite ongoing community outcry for enhanced transit service to fill gaps, reach all schools and underserved neighborhoods in the region, and the clear need to reverse declining ridership.
- Board Chair Bruce Warner revealed a lack of Board oversight on the future plans of the agency. BRU Organizer Gabriela Saldana Lopez spoke in her testimony about TriMet's planned fare hike. Warner replied incredulously, "is anybody talking about a fare increase?" Given the direct question from the Board which supervises him, Doug Kelsey, TriMet's General Manager was forced to respond truthfully, "A fare increase has been outlined in our financial projections." (see the second video below to watch the exchange, at 2:33)
BRU testimony began with Jose Mikolauskas, a new OPAL Organizing Fellow whose life experience on transit informs his advocacy. "When I was a small child, I remember walking countless hours with my mom to reach our destinations," Jose said. He related a story of being stranded after a festival to which his mother brought her children. "The bus never came. That night, we walked home for hours and hours, over the span of miles. Young me started complaining about the blisters developing on my feet a few miles in our walk."
Jose offered the solution that BRU's Up With Riders campaign demands. "Improved service such as extended hours, could've helped prevent us from being in this situation."
BRU Member Doug Allen, a retiree who once worked at TriMet to collect and analyze ridership data, spoke of the need for TriMet to support additional bus service hours, and "dismay over the [Bottomly] memo that TriMet sent to the task force last month." The Bottomly Memo outlines plans to increase service 2% per year, which Allen called "shockingly inadequate," and goes on to say investing further in operations is not a priority. "This approach will not reverse declining ridership, nor will it address our communities, or our planet's, needs." As the regional population continues to grow, flat or declining public transit ridership means our system is falling behind.
Gaby Sandana Lopez spoke against the fare hikes bus riders discovered while analyzing the TriMet budget. "Some at TriMet foresee a future where ridership declines and fares go up. Bus Riders Unite sees just the opposite. We want fares to go down. When buses are prioritized, and our communities are no longer targeted, we will choose to ride the bus with more frequency."
Final testimony from BRU came from TEAC Representative and OPAL Board Member Tristan Issac. Tristan spoke about the Bottomly Memo, and asked the Board, "what about the priorities of the Transit Equity Advisory Committee (TEAC), the Committee on Accessible Transit (CAT), and others? Why were they not consulted?" TEAC and CAT are each responsible for engaging and soliciting feedback from diverse stakeholders in our community, many of whom would support public transit service expansion if only TriMet would ask. "This is not what accountability from a public agency looks like," Tristan concluded.
#UpWithRiders is a broad vision that encompasses fareless transit within the Portland metro area, ending racial profiling and transit policing, and improving services and access. However, winning our campaign demands requires getting to the smaller foundations that support the wider arc. We intend to push hard to stop fare increases within the next four months, since TriMet releases their new budget in January. When talking to people directly on the buses during First Saturday Bus Organizing, people seemed to expect fare increases, which means we have more work to do in explaining to the public why this is unnecessary and a step in the wrong direction. When riders understand that fare increases cause decreased ridership, leading to a "downward spiral," fare increases no longer make sense.
Time is of the essence to expand transit services, and most importantly to stop the fare hikes TriMet now admits they're forecasting! Get involved.

Michael Goulian became the first American to win a round of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the weekend, throwing wide open this year's title race.
The 2018 championship will go to the wire with November's final round at Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Goulian now leads the standings at 70 points, while Czech racer Martin Sonka is now second at 65. Australia's Matt Hall holds 63.
An emotional Goulian said after the race, "It's a big day. Right now, the season doesn't even mean anything, because to win at Indy is amazing.
"Sometimes the day just works out for you, and today it did. It feels great to win here. The last race in Wiener Neustadt [where he finished 12th] was just an outlier, like this race for Matt and Martin.
"Everybody wanted a fight to the finish for the World Championship, and that's what they're going to get."
Sonka made a rare mistake to finish tenth – this after three wins on the trot. Britain's Ben Murphy scored his best-ever result with 4th place.

After watching the season finale of New Gir this week, I couldn't help but feel like I could totally relate to Winston. I know everyone in the cast has their moments, but Winston is definitely my favourite. In most sitcoms, where there's a group of friends, there's usually one who's perpetually single. I pretty almost always relate to that character. The rest of the New Girl cast is awkward in their own way, but Winston's style of awkwardness definitely resonates with me, especially in this episode. I mean forget about Schmidt and Cece, Jess and Nick, or Coach and May. The best relationship on the show is hands down, Winston and his cat, Furguson.
Winston's love for his cat is even funnier when you consider the fact that he ended up taking the cat from his ex-girlfriend, Daisy, after they broke up. More importantly, the fact that he considered killing the cat when he found out she was cheating on him. And now that cat is the most important part of his life. The moment when I was like "Oh my God that's totally something I would do!" was when Winston says that he takes weekly selfies with his cat. That's so me, or at least it would be if I had a cat. I already take daily selfies at work, and I can see myself maybe getting a cat sometime in the future. So the weekly cat selfie thing is pretty much inevitable.
Another part of this episode that I could relate to, is when Coach said that Winston always hits the info button on the remote by mistake, and Winston informs him that it's not by mistake, and that he wants to know more about the cast and crew. That's definitely me. Whenever I watch TV with my family, my mom always asks me why I need to see the info every time. When you truly love TV, you care more about just sitting and watching the show. If you're going to invest the time, you want to know more about it first.
And finally, I loved it when Jess and Nick both went back to the garbage to see if their sex mug (the mug they used to leave out when they were together and one of them wanted sex) was still in there, only to discover it gone. I thought it was hilarious that Winston took it because it was a perfectly good mug and he let his cat use it to drink water from. I would totally want to be resourceful like that and not wasteful. And though I'm not overly emotional, I do like keeping things for sentimental value, as does Winston, when he tries to convince Coach not to just get rid of things when he moves.
So yeah. Winston is the best. Even though I've never had a pet, I think I want to get a cat, just so I can take weekly cat selfies.

This week's poetry potluck theme is "moods, feelings and emotions" When I read that I immediatly thought of a poem I wrote years ago called "Sometimes" Now I get to share this piece with you all.
Happy Potluck!
I wanna cry sometimes Tears just wanna flow from my eyes I am doing pretty good at holding them back But I always face the fact I just wanna cry sometimes The reason for the tears Is not always clear It may be because of fear Or because I have no one near Either way I have to say I wanna cry sometimes When I feel like this I think of those I've missed Those I've dissed And those I've kissed But mostly I wish For one particular dish The one I order but always miss The only answer to my wish And I just wanna cry sometimes The feeling comes and goes From the top of my head to the tip of my toes I hold it back so no one knows But anyway it goes I wanna cry sometimes I used to keep this all inside But then I found a new friend Who is steady until the end And this is my ballpoint pen So I write it out During my times of doubt Whether I cry or pout When I write it out I don't wanna cry anymore

Spring Flowers and special days. What are the best flowers to give and receive?
This is such a welcome and beautiful time of year. After the gorgeousness of Autumn followed quickly by the pretty lights, festivities and richness of Christmas; January and February are simply grim (unless, of course, you're heading to the Caribbean. Alas, not me). But then, suddenly, crocus and snowdrops are peeking out of the cold ground, daffodils are boldly bouncing around, clouds of hawthorn burst out of the hedgerow and Magnolia briefly crowns gardens. Spring. There's a little warmth in the sunshine and suddenly everything seems a whole lot better.
Mothering Sunday is an important day at this time of year. I'm acutely aware that it's hard for many on a variety of levels. I like to think that Mothering Sunday embraces Godmothers, Grandparents, Aunts, Stepmothers; anybody who has a 'maternal' role in somebody's life. Mothering Sunday is a day to celebrate these wonderful women and to show them how much they are loved and appreciated. How much they're needed and how much you care. Gratitude doesn't have to be expensive; a lie in, a card, breakfast in bed, a simple bunch of daffodils, a homemade meal. Some of the stuff is free; hugs and cuddles. Very much hoping for those from my three cubs. And sleep. A teeny, tiny, extra bit of zzzzzs would be lovely. I'll float the idea. I'm not hopeful…
Nearly every florist in the country is gearing up to an uber busy weekend ahead because this is such a gorgeous time of year for blooms; narcissi, hyacinth, anemone, ranunculus, tulips, prunus… and us girls LOVE them! From a jam jar of seasonal flowers to a luxury bouquet, Spring flowers encapture femininity; elegance, timeless beauty, shape, fragility and strength and scent. Being gifted flowers is always a treat and it doesn't matter what size or cost of the gift. Flowers are just cool.
the flower shed. will be open on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th. If you have preordered flowers, they'll be ready for you. But if not, I will have stocked simplicity; bundles of tulips, bundles of hyacinth and bundles of anemone. For littles there will be simple glass jars with stems of prettiness arranged inside. Something for all budgets. And lots of pretty pinks. I will be helped by my three children. The Easter holidays are also upon us at the end of the week… eek!
On Sunday I'll be hosting and looking after my beautiful Mum. Naturally there will be lots of flowers in our home – the children love to arrange too. I'll cook a roast and enjoy time with my family. I'm one of the lucky ones; Mum pictured above, supports and helps me to juggle a crazy-busy family life as a newly divorced mother of three, alongside establishing and running a business in its infancy. My children adore their Granny. We both have a passion for flowers. Like her mother; my beloved Grandmother. I hope I'll too be able support Ollie, Harry and Grace in their forties and in whatever way they need, like my mum (and dad!) do. Retirement? What retirement?
I hope Mothering Sunday is whatever you?d like it to be this year.
Officially and finally it's Spring! Enjoy…and if you'd like to come on a workshop for floristry, or pop into to my shed and buy some beautiful spring flowers……I would thrilled to meet you, just let me know here.

For just about any business enterprise to get effective and start doing income it has to incorporate the element of predicting the future of its operations to return up with parameters which can be put into use to the internet business to draw income from them
Enterprise Will be the Artwork OF PREDICTING The long run AND Having Make use of IT.
. The entire process of foreseeing the future inside of a organization might also be called organization forecasting. It truly is the foreseeing from the long term growth in organization sales and profits, gains and charges. Those who are involved in this particular process do encourage that entrepreneurs apply enterprise forecasting on quarterly basis but some do on a monthly basis that is also suitable. There are often lots of elements in financial steps which will contribute to harsh consequences on profit margins by altering them. Owing to this situation, home business forecasting stands out as considered one of the real key substantial attribute of company organizing. So many practioners while in the industry society possess the equivalent outlook that those that particularly engage enterprise forecasting could possibly be much an artwork for a science. The check out embraces this fact seeing that opportunity cycles seldom repeat themselves. For a man or woman concerned in company to have a fantastic top quality forecast, the individual will have to be of excellent abilities, high-quality decision and of excellent character. It had been famous that almost all with the families involved in online business prediction in a multitude of incidences are unquestionably off the mark a wide range of in their forecasts. Regardless of the issues encountered throughout opportunity predictions, online business forecasting continues to be because the most popular proposal that can be accustomed to recognize wholly the nature and starting of economic fluctuations. At its coronary heart forecasting is concerned while using the assessing alternate strategies to specific forecasting trouble seeking to generalize regarding which processes do the job easiest underneath what circumstances-the way of many hypotheses.
A hassle-free classification of forecasting strategies is somewhere between people that can be broadly qualitative and people that happen to be broadly quantitative. These classifications are on no account rigid or distinctive but serve as the will mean of identification. Quantitative Approaches They're skills of different levels of statistical complexity which are dependant on examining past knowledge on the merchandise being forecast e.g. sales and profits figures, suppliers dilemmas, rates incurred. Though innovative the procedure implemented, there is certainly the fundamental assumption that previous patterns will produce some advice with the long run. Clearly for a lot of operational products (material usage, income of existing products and services, bills) the previous does provide for a guide to your long term, but there is conditions for which no knowledge are offered, e.g. the launching of the totally new solution, where by other, a good deal more qualitative techniques are requested. These approaches are addressed briefly to start with and afterwards the in depth quantitative materials follows. Qualitative Systems They're skills that happen to be made use of when info are scarce, e.g. the primary introduction of a new solution. The skills use human judgment and knowledge to turn qualitative important information into quantitative estimates. Though qualitative systems are utilized for each quick and extended expression checkmyessay.net/edit functions, their use turns into of increasing relevance because the time scale of your forecast lengthens. Even though past details are offered (making sure that common quantitative strategies can be utilized), a bit longer phrase forecasts involve judgment, intuition, practical experience, aptitude and so forth, that's, qualitative elements, for making them more practical. As the time scale lengthens, past designs develop into a lot less and fewer important. At its heart forecasting is anxious with all the analyzing alternate methods to specific forecasting issues working to generalize as to which options do the trick finest less than what circumstances-the procedure of various hypotheses By far the most critical aspect contributing with the importance of internet business forecasting tends to be that the predictors will be able to advance their ability to thrive in venture when they are executing it. Veteran business owners have already been recognized to make predictions on a regular basis; if new business people do motivate the use of organisation forecasting could also adventure gains that the veteran business people do. The relationship in between forecasting and small business successes is straightforward. One can comprehend a whole lot more success when he/she turns into very good at producing fantastic selections just after conscientious thing to consider, as an solution of responding to disaster. Forecasting can, and infrequently does, lead on the development in the potential but it's distinct that other things may also be functioning

The positive ripple effects flowing from the $50 million Smart City transportation grant awarded to Columbus this summer are expected to touch many sectors and that includes businesses that are part of the Region's retail ecosystem.
The positive ripple effects flowing from the $50 million Smart City transportation grant awarded to Columbus this summer are expected to touch many sectors and that includes businesses that are part of the Region's retail ecosystem.
Columbus' Smart City grant award is a "pivotal moment" for Gwynnie Bee, an online monthly subscription service that rents clothing to plus-sized women. A major portion of the company's business depends on quick delivery, says Ericka Ponte, general manager of the organization's distribution center in Groveport.
"For consumers, delivery and return of the items needs to be convenient and it's especially important for the success of our business, too," she says. "This grant money for improved transportation will also make it easier for employees to get to jobs, and it will strengthen the logistics of moving freight through our region."
Gwynnie Bee and its "digital department store" have access to 3,000 brands of clothing available for rent by women who wear sizes ranging from 10-32. Customers can rent up to ten garments and keep them as long as they wish. When they are ready for something different, they can return clothes in a prepaid envelope and order new items.
"We provide an underserved population with a wide range of styles and brands," Ponte says. "Our Columbus operation handles 100 percent of the distribution and some of the customer service inquires."
The Columbus Region, with its retail ecosystem, became the heart of Gwynnie Bee's operation in large part because its central geographic location is optimal for running the business, Ponte says.
"Our business model is truly unique and customers drive the day-to-day business," she says. "We partner with others who have greatly supported our vision. There's also a great supply chain for logistics that we don't think we could get elsewhere."
Christine Hunsicker, founder and CEO of Gwynnie Bee, says this year the company developed exclusive partnerships with a few traditional brands to launch their styles in an extended size range for the company's membership.
"It's a major priority to bring more options, not only to our members, but also to the plus-size retail landscape," Hunsicker says.
The growth and development of technological options, especially for Gwynnie Bee's business model, will ?be both a challenge and focus, but this is a region rich in resources, Hunsicker says.
"Our team is loaded with technological talent and continuously seeks out and applies creative solutions to the traditional and emerging challenges of the retail industry," she says. "Most of these solutions are tackled by tapping into the team's rich pool of professional experiences, their networks and the best technological practices in and out of retail."
Ponte cites the rich retail history of the Region as the reason the area maintains such a vibrant and growing retail industry, which also contributes to the development and expansion of the retail e-commerce system.
"I think the strong development of the retail market here will continue for many years to come," Ponte says. "In addition to the many suppliers, there are lots of other kinds of talent that drives efficient retail operations as well as creating an engaged culture. In the last few years that we've been here, it's just been a really great place to operate."

2 points ahead of Man Citystackitsteve said:We ended that season as champions.
no pressure Lee
At any level, it was 2011/12.redlanered said:99/00 was two home games, obviously a bit easier to win two on the trot ...do we know the last time we won home and away in our first two games?
Hemed scored in both games against us that season. Kayal played in both matches, as did Dale Stephens. Adam Chicksen came on as a sub for Brighton in the first match. The second match was the beach ball protest...Garrymanilow said:It's the 2015/16 season that scares me and keeps me in check whenever I get too ahead of myself with this season's start. We started that one great; a 2-1 win against QPR, Watt looking unplayable, Kashi turning up as the new Kishishev, and Morgan Fox hilariously scoring. Two hard fought draws against decent teams in Derby and Forest followed with Watt again magnificent, followed by a Hull game so incredible I still smile thinking about it now. I also remember that evening thinking that team could really have a great season with the spirit the squad seemed to have and some smart additions to the squad like Bauer, Makienok and Kashi looking great. Literally the next match Kashi was injured before kick off and we never recovered for a minute. We didn't win for 12 games, that winking prick Fraeye came in and everything went straight to hell. With the exception of the Rotherham match where we briefly threatened to be a football team again and the Boro protest match on tv the rest of that season was a total disaster. I'm sure that won't happen this year, but still, it's keeping me grounded.Also, it's just occurred to me that in that thoroughly depressing match against Brighton where we were 2-0 up after 5 minutes and went on to lose 3-2 at the death, the scorer of the winning goal that killed us and broke what little momentum Fraeye had going for him was Tomer Hemed. Heh.
Went for a beer in Greenwich after that Bournemouth game, was talking to a couple of their fans and football wise they were almost suicidal. They had owner problems, weak or no squad, the lot. All they could see was relegation, give it 3 or 4 years or so it had all changed, shows how it can go.Callumcafc said:At any level, it was 2011/12.redlanered said:99/00 was two home games, obviously a bit easier to win two on the trot ...do we know the last time we won home and away in our first two games?

Dragonheart Stories: Fairy Tales for Grownups by Jane Jago
A magnificent adults-only collection of dragon stories!
One of my favourite things to discover is a book that gives the reader a sense of the author's own personality. The incidental humour and quirky characters in these stories are evidence of a creative mind brimming with ideas and unafraid to follow them wherever they lead.
The Dragonheart Stories Is a brilliant collection of short stories that are imaginative, sensual and highly original — and definitely not for children! Very conservative readers would probably not appreciate them either, although this reader considers that to be very much to their own loss. The stories are much like the nature of their dragon characters: magnificent, beautiful, rowdy, complex, and at times aggressive, but at the same time filled with insight. Each story is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The narration instils in the reader a sense of reverence for the dragons, but also considerable affection for the central characters.
I really hope there are more of these stories to come. It is only fitting that this humble squirrel should pay these wonderful dragons tribute with a Golden Acorn.

Arbor Month 2019: 2 000 trees planted in 2 hours in Riverside View
Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ) is proud of the difference it made in celebration of Arbor Day by planting 2 000 trees in 2 hours in Riverside View, Fourways, Region A.
Planting 2 000 trees in a limited time is hard physical labour and required many hands, but JCPZ employees rocked up to the site on Wednesday, 18 September 2019 and pulled it off in a great team effort.
It was extremely hot on the day and that served as motivation for the tree planters – knowing that the young trees they were planting will, in a view years' time, provide much needed shade for the Riverside View community in summer.
The trees will also change the face of Riverside View by welcoming residents and visitors to a green area where the streets are lined with trees. Not to mention other benefits trees provide, like absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen in the environment!
JCPZ thanks its employees, the community and partner Valumax for their assistance in this project, without whom the mission would not have been accomplished.
The City of Joburg kicked off Arbor Month on 1 September 2019 by accepting the Arbor City Award 2019 from the National Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, and this mammoth project reconfirmed that Joburg is worthy of this prestigious award.
JCPZ planted a further 1 260 in different areas in Joburg during Arbor Month.

- Free, Quick & Easy
The 5th edition of the Grand Chess Tour is expanding into Asia and Africa, with rapid and blitz events in India and Côte d'Ivoire, while there are also new European tournaments in Romania and Croatia. The latter is a boost for fans of classical chess, as it's an 11-round classical tournament featuring all 12 regular players. Combined with the Sinquefield Cup, classical chess will now make up 50% of the available points before the Final Four is again played during the London Chess Classic in December. We have all the details, as the tour grows from five to eight events.
The 2019 Grand Chess Tour is for the first time set to be a truly global event, with tournaments taking place in seven countries across four continents. It's symbolic that the first event this May will be played in Abidjan, the biggest city in the Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in Africa. There was a trial run last year with the Côte d'Ivoire Rapid and Blitz Invitational, an all-African event won by Egypt's Bassem Amin.
The Grand Chess Tour will also now incorporate the Tata Steel India events in Kolkata, India, that last year were won by Hikaru Nakamura (rapid) and Vishy Anand (blitz).
Of course the tour will also feature America - the Sinquefield Cup and the St. Louis Rapid and Blitz, and Europe – where the Paris Rapid & Blitz and the finals during the London Chess Classic continue, but the YourNextMove event in Leuven, Belgium has gone to be replaced by the Superbet Rapid & Blitz in Bucharest, Romania and a new tournament in Zagreb, Croatia. That brings us to the organisation of the tour.
The Grand Chess Tour began in 2015 by bringing together three classical tournaments, Norway Chess, the Sinquefield Cup and the London Chess Classic. By 2018, however, it had become largely a rapid and blitz series, with only the Sinquefield Cup remaining as an exclusively classical event. This year that's set to change again, with players able to earn half of their points and more than half of their prize money in classical chess.
Instead of the 9 regular players in 2018 there will be 12 in 2019, with all 12 of those players competing in the Sinquefield Cup and also a new classical tournament in Croatia, the adopted homeland of a certain Garry Kasparov. The classical tournaments will now be played over 11 rounds, though the time control has been shortened "to promote fighting chess" – instead of 100 minutes for 40 moves then an extra 60 minutes to the end of the game, the players will have 130 minutes for all of their moves, with no respite at move 40. That means they can, if they choose, take more time at the start of the game, but time trouble is likely to be a big factor if the games drag on.
Once again the Grand Chess Tour has chosen to use the American system of delays rather than increments. That means the clock doesn't start counting down until 30 seconds after a move, but the players will have no way to build up time on their clocks – if you're down to 1 second you can keep taking 30 seconds each move, but there's no prospect of leaving the board until the end of the game! There's also no easy way out by offering a draw, since draw offers aren't allowed in the classical events.
In 2018 there were three 5-day rapid and blitz tournaments, which had to be played by all tour regulars, with just one wildcard for each tournament. This year there are now five tournaments – the 3 days of rapid and 2 days of blitz format remains exactly the same – with each regular obliged to play in three of them. All of a player's scores will count, with 18 (20 for clear 1st) points for 1st place in a classical event and 12 (13) for rapid and blitz. That means there will be plenty of room for wildcards in the rapid and blitz events. A Grand Chess Tour press release mentions "fourteen event level wildcards".
Once again the top four players will compete in the finals in London, though so far the exact format of that event hasn't been released.
This year there's a total of $1,750,000 up for grabs, a $700,000 increase on 2018. The prize fund for the rapid & blitz events remains $150,000, with $37,500 for 1st place. The prize fund for the classical tournaments has increased from $300,000 to $325,000, with $90,000 for 1st place, and the prize fund for the London finals is up from $300,000 to $350,000, with the top prizes up from $120,000 and $80,000 in 2018 to $150,000 and $100,000 in 2019.
The 12 players invited for this year's Grand Chess Tour are based on the top 3 in last year's tour, the top 4 by the Universal Rating System on 1 January 2019, the top 4 by average FIDE rating from February 2018 to January 2019 and one wildcard (Ian Nepomniachtchi):
Magnus Carlsen, the winner of the tour in 2015 and 2017, has already said he's very likely to play, but one player we won't be seeing is Vladimir Kramnik, who last week announced his retirement. That means an invitation for the first reserve, Sergey Karjakin, while the second reserve is Yu Yangyi. The chances of his playing are significantly boosted by what's likely to be a jam-packed schedule.
UPDATE, 7th February: Only Vladimir Kramnik rejected his invitation, and he has now been replaced by Sergey Karjakin.
This year the focus for elite players other than Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana is likely to be qualifying for the 2020 Candidates Tournament, and the qualifying events announced so far are the FIDE World Cup (Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, September 9 – October 2), a new Grand Swiss (in the 2nd half of 2019) and the FIDE Grand Prix series. This latter series features four 16-player knockout tournaments, with each leg having a prize fund equivalent to a GCT rapid and blitz event.
Both series only start in May, and as you can imagine that's going to make the chess calendar difficult to juggle if players want to play in both series and other top events. The only direct clash so far, however, is in November, when the 3rd leg of the Grand Prix clashes with the Superbet Rapid & Blitz in Bucharest:
May 2019
1. Cote d'Ivoire Rapid & Blitz | Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire | May 7-12
FIDE Grand Prix, Leg 1 | Moscow, Russia | May 16 – 30
June 2019
2. Croatia GCT | Zagreb, Croatia | June 25 – July 8
July 2019
FIDE Grand Prix, Leg 2 | Jurmala, Latvia | July 11 – 25
3. Paris Rapid & Blitz | Paris, France | July 27 - August 1
August 2019
4. St. Louis Rapid & Blitz | St. Louis, USA | August 9 – 14
5. Sinquefield Cup | St. Louis, USA | August 16 – 29
November 2019
FIDE Grand Prix, Leg 3 | Hamburg, Germany | November 4 – 18
6. Superbet Rapid & Blitz | Bucharest, Romania | November 4 - 11
7. Tata Steel India Rapid & Blitz | Kolkata, India | November 20 - 27
December 2019
8. London Chess Classic (GCT Finals) | London, UK | December 1 - 9
FIDE Grand Prix, Leg 4 | Tel-Aviv, Israel | December 10 – 24
It's worth noting that players take part in only three of the five GCT rapid and blitz tournaments and three of the four Grand Prix legs, so there should be room for manoeuvre, and both FIDE and the Grand Chess Tour have already announced that they'll cooperate to try and make it possible for players to play in both. It remains to be seen, however, if some players will forego the money on offer in the Grand Chess Tour in order to have an easier schedule as they attempt to qualify for the Candidates.
Levon is already hard at work preparing for the struggles ahead...

New FHA Mortgage Insurance—not a big deal
Posted by Suzanne Hunn & Associates on Wednesday, February 13th, 2013 at 3:53pm.
Although it would be appropriate if FHA made their new motto, "Making homes less affordable," due to over doubling of monthly mortgage insurance premiums in the past 2 years. The most recent changes, which take effect on April 1st of this year, are doing very little to negatively affect borrowers. The new change actually adds just $8.33 per month per $100,000 borrowed.
The biggest change is that the mortgage insurance is on for the life of the loan. Now before you let this get you too riled up, currently FHA loans the mortgage insurance doesn't automatically drop off for about 9 years anyway. Most people don't typically keep their home that long more or less their actual mortgage. So, although paying more is not better, this single change is not a very big impact from the last change

The GLObal Market
British American Tobacco's GLO is recognized by industry insiders as one of the most distinguished Heat-Not-Burn brands. While IQOS still largely dominates the market, GLO is a worthy rival. In most countries it is the second highest grossing HnB brand. In this post, we'll discuss what investors should know about GLO and British American Tobacco (BAT) before investing.
Reception and Market Value
GLO is a tobacco heating product (THP) that is promoted as one of BAT's next generation products (NGPs). GLO products were first launched in 2016 in Japan and have since been made available in 11 other countries worldwide: Canada, Croatia, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Switzerland, Russia, Romania, Ukraine. Since its launch GLO's largest market has been Japan. Despite an overall decline in Japanese tobacco revenue in early 2018, GLO maintained steady growth. In the 2018 Annual Report, BAT claims that the GLO brand "achieved a 4.7% market share (20% category share) in Japan," making it the second most popular Heat-Not-Burn brand in the nation.
Not everyone was happy with the introduction of GLO into the Japanese market however. In June, 2018, an affiliate of Philip Morris International (PMI), the manufacturer of IQOS, led a legal action against BAT Japan, with the claim that GLO and NeoSticks infringe on a patent which was granted to PMI for the sale of heated tobacco products. Patents are legal documents granting a specific party the right to exclusively sell an invention for a set period of time. If another invention is deemed too similar to the first, the brand which holds the patent can pursue legal action against the manufacturer they feel is infringing on their patent. BAT is currently denying infringement.
Overall, GLO has been doing well in global markets. BAT released in their 2018 Performance Summary, that their company's THP "revenue increased to […] £576 million, at constant rates." This is approximately a $537 million profit USD. For those of you who are interested, that is approximately $300 million less in yearly revenue than what PMI is making from IQOS. Nevertheless, it is still a large sum in the developing Heat-Not-Burn industry.
The Future of GLO
GLO products are often paid less attention than their competitor IQOS, but don't discount them for that. The brand is growing at a rate comparable to IQOS. BAT is continually investing in the GLO brand. In 2018, the company announced their plans to expand and reconfigure their plant in Romanian, at a cost of €800 million (approximately 1.07 billion USD). The plant is expected to be completed by 2022 and will be an important step in "the European expansion of GLO."
BAT has also spent a fair amount of money on research and clinical studies for their THP products. One of their studies looked at whether or not GLO altered or damaged DNA. Many tobacco related diseases are a direct result of the tobacco damaging a person's DNA. Tobacco contains carcinogens, cancer causing chemicals, that alter DNA. One of the reasons so many harm reductionists have gotten behind Heat-Not-Burn products is because they are designed to lower the risk of exposure to these chemicals. This study set out to prove that claim. The study investigated whether cell structure changed when using GLO vs. traditional cigarettes. The study's researchers analyzed a substance known as MucilAir, which replicates the tissues found in human airways. The tissue was exposed to the vapor generated by GLO and then traditional cigarette smoke for one hour each. Changes in the tissue structure were then recorded. Tissue exposed to traditional cigarette smoke saw 2809 changes in DNA genes after a 48 hour period, whereas GLO's vapor only caused changes in 2. While some may criticise the validity of the report, since it was conducted by BAT, it has been peer reviewed and was published in Scientific Reports, a medial journal. Currently, the BAT research team is working on a publication about the health effects of GLO users, vapers, and traditional cigarette smokers that will hopefully be published sometime in 2019.
Scientific investments such as these are invaluable to the GLO brand as it attempts to move forward. If BAT ever applies to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for scientific review or the right to sell GLO in the American market, research like this will be reviewed and could help bring about a positive ruling. Slowly, more and more Heat-Not-Burn products are moving towards FDA approval. BAT was one of the first tobacco manufacturers to be approved by the FDA for a trial of carbon-tipped THPs. The BAT Eclipse brand is currently being rolled out in several test regions across the country. The results will be a good indication of how well THPs performs with American consumers, but more importantly it could set a precedent for any THP and HnB devices to follow. This, in addition to the recent FDA announcement that numerous kinds of traditional cigarettes, like menthol cigarettes, are potentially going to be restricted, if not banned, creates an opportunity for BAT and the GLO brand to keep growing and improving in global markets.

A Lifestyle of Fruitfulness
Revelation 22:2 NLT
It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.
This podcast is a repost, originally published on Jan 4, 2017
We sometimes struggle with consistency.
Revelation 22:2 is an illustration of the river of God which is the Holy Spirit who is in us. the Bible says that we are the trees planted by the streams of water which means we are suppose to produce fruit.
The Holy Spirit is not expecting us to produce seasonal fruit. Jesus cursed the fig tree even when He knew it was not the season for it to bear fruit.
As believers we don't have an option but to bear fruit all the time.
Matthew 3:10 says – Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
The Bible says that rivers of living water will flow through everybody who believes in Jesus. This is the capacity of the Holy Spirit that He will help you bear fruit in all the seasons.
Fruitfulness doesn't mean results. Fruits are your actions as to how you behave but results are the things that happens after what you do.
Noah preached the gospel for 40 years without seeing any results but he was still fruitful.
Fruitfulness is beyond results. It has to become your lifestyle. You have to pursue bearing fruit every single day.
Today pray and ask God as to how you can bear fruit for Him today and believe that God is coming with you today to help you bear fruit in whatever you do.
Partner with us in our dream for revival. Your generosity goes towards supporting our initiatives to reach out, serve & transform lives.

The World is NOT Ending it is Still a BUYER'S MARKET.
Posted by The Lohser Group Cleveland on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 at 5:27pm.
While people are running around as if their heads are on fire and the world is going to end, I think it is a very important time to step back and take a lesson from history.
Yes, the country as a whole may be in for some tough times.
But, will the world as we know it end and leave us looking around for some sort of a sign of what life used to be before the DISASTER TO TOP ALL DISASTERS?? History would tell us NO.
This is not the first time that our government or markets have failed us and probably won't be our last. In the words of Gary Keller in his new book The Shift, "SHIFT HAPPENS!" Your financial advisor would probably tell you that it is not the time to pull your long term growth funds and I am telling you it is definitely not the time to shy away from buying a house.
You may not be able to turn on the television without someone telling you that we are on our way to a second great depression or that life as we know it is over, but the truth of the matter is, society has experienced times like this before, they have gotten through them and life goes on. People will still get up tomorrow, buy gas, drive to work, buy groceries, and buy and sell real estate.
The ones that look back on periods such as these fondly are the ones that took advantage of the situation. If you are a qualified buyer or a cash buyer, the time to buy is NOW. I'm not telling you to go in blindly, no, I will help you to do your due diligence and find the perfect deal, but this is a buyer's market and crafty buyers will take advantage.

text: by Idell Bryan Aug 2, 2017 Comments (0) AIChE Topics: Safety & Health Ammonia Events & Conferences CCPS Conferences Share This Post: I recently caught up with Harrie Duisters, Technology Director of OCI N.V., and Committee Chair of the upcoming 62nd Annual Safety in Ammonia Plants and Related Facilities Symposium in Brooklyn, New York. In your opinion, what is the most important current trend in ammonia and safety? In the short term, it is key that we keep operating our plants in a safe and efficient way: personal, process and environmental incidents must be avoided. The long-term issue we will have to work on is the sustainability of our industry. We are a big consumer of fossil fuel (natural gas) and emitter of CO2, which contributes greatly to global warming. What sessions or speakers would you like to highlight as new or noteworthy for the 62nd Annual Safety in Ammonia Plants and Related Facilities Symposium? The most valuable sessions are those that discuss real incidents that have happened in our industry. These presentations are "real life" and thus very interesting for the audience, and valuable "lessons learned" are shared. What message would you like the audience to take away from this year's Ammonia and Safety Symposium? Learn from the presentations, participate in the discussions, network with your industry colleagues, and share all this information with your colleagues in the plant. How do you envision safety in ammonia plants advancing some of the Grand Challenges in engineering and society (medicine, health informatics, etc.)? Our industry will have to keep track on societal developments, e.g., internet and data-processing. One development that can help us to improve our plants is using more advanced IT tools, such as collecting more online plant data and processing data in more advanced ways, utilizing new software tools to improve the controls and the safeguards of our plants.

Shortly afterward Windows started crashing, then blue-screened with a memory dump. Now it won't boot into Windows 7 at all. Even in safe mode it starts to boot, then flashes a blue screen error (so quickly I can't read it) and restarts. Anybody else had problems with either a network printer or a virtual printer driver?

According to media reports, about 1,000 protesters have gathered in Istanbul's Besiktas neighborhood and another 2,000 demonstrated in the city's Kadikoy district, while Turkey's National Security Council decided on Monday to extend the nine-month state of emergency by another three months. Smaller protests were held in other cities, including Antalya and Izmir, where over 20 people were detained.
The preliminary results among Turks living in the country showed 51.18 percent voting in favor and 48.82 against constitutional reforms for the creation of a presidential system of government. The greatest level of support was revealed to be in Turkey's central provinces, whereas the least amount of support was found in European part of Turkey, as well as the Aegean Sea coast and the Kurdish-dominated areas. Support among Turkish nationals living abroad was much higher and stands 59.09 percent.
Some Turkish officials said that they had expected to get much more support in favor of the constitutional amendments during the referendum, while the Turkish opposition outlined plans to appeal the results of the referendum with the country's constitutional court or the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) if needed.
The amendments to the constitution proposed at the referendum will allow the Turkish president to stay as the head of the political party he or she represents, which is not permitted under current legislation. The amendments also allow Erdogan to hold the office for two more terms until 2029. The president will also have the ability to appoint vice presidents, ministers and other high ranking officials, while the post of the prime minister will be removed. The parliament, which will increase its seats by 50 to consist of 600 members, will lose the direct control of government activities, as the amendments cancel obligatory reports of the ministers before the lawmakers.

Neutral Evil
A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with, shedding no tears for those she harms. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any more noble. However, she doesn't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Neutral evil represents evil without honor and without variation.

Thanks for Letting Us Know!
Written by Francisca Goldsmith on Thursday, August 22, 2019
Thank you to the nearly 4,000 SYNC participants who took the time to provide us with responses to our 2019 survey! We use this information to build a better program each year so be assured that your opinions are noted. We heard from teen listeners, librarians and teachers, parents and grandparents, and adults who might be teenless but have a deep interest in audiobook listening.

For starters, I have a lot more hair! I actually started to use a detangler product because of my long curls on the back of my head!
I still have a big appetite. I still haven't kicked my pizza habit that I developed in Chicago this past summer. My other favorite treats are waffles, cheesy eggs and vanilla soy milk. Thankfully, I enjoy vegetables, too. I like edamame, avocados, mushrooms and broccoli. I also enjoy trying to feed myself and other people.
I'm still really into cars, trains, garbage trucks, fire trucks and big rigs. I think airplanes are cool, too. I even get excited when someone rides by on a bike. I especially go crazy when kids zoom past me on their Razor scooters.
I am communicating and comprehending more. I know how to bow for "Konichiwa" and "Sayonara." I know how to receive the Filipino "mano po" blessing from an elder by taking their hand and putting it to my forehead. I applaud at the right part for "When You're Happy and You Know It…"
This past month, I spent a lot of time at the park. I know how to go down a slide by myself! Needless to say, I'm walking and running around a lot, too! It's so much fun! I'm ready to speedwalk like a New Yorker!
I have been enjoying this past week with Lola and Lolo in Sacramento. Their house is full of toy cars and trains! I am in heaven! One more day of Cedro Playground Paradise before I get to see my Papa again in NYC! I know that Lola and Lolo will miss me a lot. I bet they're relieved that I'm coming right back in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving in SoCal!
I can't believe it has been a week since we left LA and a month since we've seen Papa. I really miss him. This morning, I pointed at his picture and was very upset! I can't wait to see him!

Panaji, Feb 3:
Goa legislative assembly Speaker Rajendra Arlekar Monday threatened to sue the media and an activist who accused him of having disproportionate assets and committing irregularities in purchasing property, even as anti-corruption officials quizzed him as part of a preliminary probe.
Addressing a press conference here, Arlekar said that all the allegations levelled against him were "baseless and unfounded".
According to a complaint filed by local lawyer activist Aires Rodrigues, the Bharatiya Janata Party legislator had bought a 500-sq-metre plot worth Rs.72 lakh from a Delhi-based journalist.
The sale deed, Rodrigues says, does not even mention the mode of payment Arlekar adopted to purchase the plot
The complainant also said that the money used to buy the plot was disproportionate to Arlekar's declared income, which is around Rs.2.76 lakh annually as per the details in the affidavit filed by him ahead of the 2012 assembly polls.
Refuting the allegations, Arlekar said that the activist never approached him for clarifications, but also added that he had partly paid for the plot through a banker's cheque as well as from his wife's savings.
Arlekar also said that Rodrigues had relied on his pre-poll affidavit filed in 2010-11 for details of his income and also added that his income had since increased because of his appointment as the assembly speaker as well as his own business prospering.
Arlekar's clarification came minutes after Anti Corruption Bureau officials visited his office as part of a preliminary probe into Rodrigues' complaint.
Police sources said that Arlekar was asked to produce documents related to the land deal. The assembly speaker, sources added, was also asked to furnish details of his tax returns as well as his income details for the last five years.

The men's soccer team played an outstanding well thought out game as they took on Saint Mary Sunday Oct. 15 at Richard L. Jantz Stadium.
The Builders where physical and disciplined, finishing the game with a shutout victory, 3-0.
Head coach, Kyle Pond admitted that he was having a pretty bad day before the game, but performance and the effort of the team changed it to one of his best days. "The boys played how they practiced and they executed outstandingly together as a team," said Pond. "They need be working on being more physical."
Sophomore midfielder, Jacob Rangel scored 2 goals in the contest, 1 in the early first half and the other in the mid-2nd half.
A great deal of excitement was generated when Rangel dove for the ball and head butted it into the goal for his second, decisive goal of the match. "I truly felt that I reached my fullest potential today regarding the fact that I'm injured at the moment" said Rangel.
The Moundbuilders look to build more momentum as they anticipate another home conference clash with McPherson on Wednesday Oct. 18 at 8 p.m.

Advice from a Goon
This poem is advice from a goon to young girls who wish to go out with their boyfriends, fiances or even husbands late at night. The scene is set in an urban landscape in India. A tragic event took place recently-two young men were killed as they tried to defend their girlfriends from molesters.
The question that immediately arises is why must youngsters of an impressionable age venture out when it is unsafe and alcohol can bring out baser elements. Be practical. Don't loiter around. Play it safe.
Whose side are people on anyway?
Why must you go at that time?
Doors are shut
Love on beds
When children sleep.
I told you the world is bad.
The sun sets
Empires break
Animals our bodies.
Who are you to change the world?
Nights for knives
To slit your throat
Force out your feel.
Stay indoors boys and girls
Don't think you're on angrezi* shores!

angrezi*: refers to foreign.

Actually, the place itself isn't that special (too many holiday apartment blocks). However, due to its location on the N125, it makes a good base for those wanting to explore the more touristy side of the Algarve. Planning to visit Guia and surroundings this summer? Enjoy the Algarve tells you what to do!
See the original article in Enjoy the Algarve – magazine June 2016
Pictures by Kyle Rodriguez
Explore the town
This probably won't take long as there isn't that much in Guia worth exploring (better go to Loulé if you're into pretty town centres). The historical town centre consists of just a few streets and can be seen in mere minutes, a bit longer if you want to go inside the churches. Worth a look is the Mercado Municipal which is also seriously tiny and built around a little courtyard.
Find a secluded cave
Praia da Galé is less than 10 minutes driving from Guia and the main reason why people visit this region. It's where the rocky coast starts and where holidaymakers capture jealousy invoking shots of golden sands and crashing waves. It will get very busy in summer, but the rocks dividing the beaches into bays ensure enough secluded spots. Other nearby beaches include Lourenço and Praia do Castelo.
Shop 'til you drop
With over a hundred stores, Algarve Shopping is one of the biggest shopping centres in the Algarve. It's got cinemas, a food court, a supermarket and everything from Accessorize to Zara. It's not the place to go if you fancy authentic Algarvian culture, but it sells everything you could possible need for a day on the beach (and it also makes for a good place against boredom if it rains).
Opening times of the shops: 10am-midnight in summer, 10am-11pm in winter, seven days a week.
Cuddle a dolphin
Or stroke a seal, starfish or parrot. There are dozens of animals in Zoomarine, which is located a few minutes' drive from Albufeira on the N125. With animal shows, amusement rides, a beach and lots of ice-cream for sale, kids will love this place. Enjoy the Algarve tried interacting with dolphins, read the article in our August 2015 issue.
Eat piri-piri chicken
In the 'frango capital of the Algarve', it's hard to find a restaurant which doesn't sell chicken piri-piri. All claim to be the most authentic/original/famous/real/best… (add some other fancy adjective here) with the most experience in making this quintessential Portuguese family meal. You're probably best off going to a place that's full of locals. Or, if you're a real frango fan, try them all and let us know which one's the winner.
Stare at skulls
Human bones and skulls, taken from the old churchyard cemetery. That's what makes up the inside walls of bone chapel in Alcantarilha, located next to the main church, the igreja matriz nossa senhora da conceição. The chapel isn't big –best to enter one person at a time- and you can't actually get close to the bones because of the fence. A bigger bone chapel can be found in Faro, but do visit this one if you're driving through Alcantarilha anyway as it's pretty macabre.
See sand sculptures
Need some inspiration before creating a coastal masterpiece with bucket and spade? Then visit FIESA, which is located in the nearby village of Pêra. Enjoy the Algarve visited this international sand sculpture festival already in the summer of 2015, read the article here. Although plans were that the exposition would have been relocated by now, it's still close to Guia.
