Scranton, North Dakota - On one corner, the wheat is days away from being ready to cut. Across the road, the field is grass green and won't be ready for weeks. A hop and a skip down the road, wheat is being swathed and baled. When the insurance company is paying the farmer to bale rather than harvest, how could you say no? It's tough for me as a harvester to type that, but I also understand profit margins. Don't be surprised if harvest crews add some instruments and a hot dog stand to their crew. Just imagine, the crew/band playing some country music and selling hot dogs in the wheat field. Combines park strategically around the bandstand, passing the time before the wheat ripens. Sounds pretty awesome, actually.

Pine Bluffs, Wyoming - Anderson Harvesting is at its first standstill of the harvest 2017 season. Farmer Lance, with his 25 bushel average/62 pound test weight crop, is all cut up and now the real question arises; where do we go from here? John's ear and his phone have been inseparable for the past few days and the decision is still up in the air. But, as Papa T said, "you go where the wheat is ripe." Western ND is looking like the best bet!

So, since I'm running low on harvest action, I'm going to try something a little different. I've decided to call this little segment the "harvester's hangout".  What this will be is me telling three harvester tales of yesteryear. Imagine a room full of harvesters with their scuffed up boots and ball caps in a cafe, exchanging laughs and stories with one another for hours and hours; that's the feel I'm going for. So, grab a nice cup of coffee and have a comfortable seat because that's how the best tales are received.

Bayard, Nebraska - Well, courtesy of AAWH, Anderson Harvesting will be heading back south a bit to Pine Bluffs, Wyoming to continue the wheat run. Farmer Lance awaits us our arrival and Farmer Don can sit back and relax, knowing his wheat is safe and sound in the bins of the elevator. He averaged about 35 bushels per acre with test weights between 62-65 pounds. Our next fields are right in the corner of Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska. I've always wanted to be in three places at once, and I just might get my shot.

A fun fact -- Farmer Don's son brought his family out to spend some time in the field and experience harvest. The following day, his wife and kids went off to a family reunion and he stayed. Little did I know, it was his birthday! This became known to me after the fact. And I didn't even get to wish him a "happy birthday," but all he wanted to do was spend his birthday in a wheat field. That's music to a harvester's ears.

Bridgeport, Nebraska - Just as I was letting off the clutch at a stoplight in town, a motorcycle revved the ever living out of his motor and sped by me. I about had a heart attack -- hearing noises like that, all I could think was that I blew something somewhere on my truck. I mean, I am hauling 64 pound wheat, so anything is possible.

It is pretty rare to have two stops on the harvest run that are a mere 27.5 miles away from each other. Obvious reasons being that they are both likely ready at the same time; and as we all know, the wheat waits for nobody. But, contrary to the norm, we moved from Gurley to Bridgeport without missing a beat. Farmer Don has some pretty spectacular wheat with test weights anywhere from 62-65 pounds, 35-40 bushel, and protein peaked at 13 for content, but is consistently between 8-10. Harvest days are coming and going and definitely running together these past 10 days or so. This time of year just works that way. It's harvest autopilot, if you will. You just do because you know you need to do, and that's all there is to it.

Gurley, Nebraska - Harvest is all about the people. It's about the people you harvest for, the people who provide you with your fuel, the bar/grill in the small town that cooks you supper every night, and the people on the other harvest crews that you get to mingle with at the end of the night. The people are what make the harvest what is it... addictive and unforgettable.

Here in Gurley, the harvest spirit is tangible. The campground is loaded with harvest crew trailers, combine trailers, service trucks and semis. The best part is that we all know each other, so we are just one, big harvest family. Being a harvester is a very misunderstood profession. People just can't understand why we would want to load up our super expensive equipment on trailers, pack up a camper and haul it all across the country to cut wheat only to load it all back up in a week to do it again in a different town. It sounds crazy, and we all know it does.

Dodge City, Kansas - Once the harvest stops in Kansas have all been completed, the rest of harvest becomes a blur. I was thinking today how far we have come as a crew. I say this in the sense of a rhythm - a groove that a crew gets into. Everyone gets acclimated to how everyone else works, and things just go smoother. The farmers in Texas versus the farmers in Nebraska see two different crews.

We were able to finish up in Dodge, and we will be heading to our fifth stop on the harvest run - Sidney, Nebraska. We brought one of two combines up here today, and the wheat is still a bit green along with the inch of rain the area received this afternoon (07/03). The wheat we cut in Dodge ran anywhere from 60-100 bushels per acre, and the test weight averaged 60 pounds.

That being said, Farmer Chris here in Dodge City bid Anderson Harvesting off with an awesome barbecue for a job well done. There were hamburgers, brats, brownies... you name it. Farmer Chris' wife, Eileena, made some of the most delicious potato salad I have ever had in my life, and the evening was full of laughter and conversation.

Dodge City, Kansas - There are two cup holders in the combine. I jumped in for a few rounds and put my lemonade-flavored Monster Rehab next to John's filled-to-the-brim Yeti coffee cup. Combining along, I hit a plethora of bumpy spots in the field, a typical occupational hazard. I go to take a sip of my drink and got a sip of half coffee/half lemonade Monster. I don't recommend the combination. Here's to you, bumpy Kansas wheat fields.

DISCLAIMER: It will never be just "a few rounds." That's the trick phrase a harvester will use to get you to switch places for whatever reason.

Before that story was given the opportunity to occur, we did incur some rainy days that were filled with wrenches and combine rehab. That's the thing about harvest -- time is of the essence.

Dodge City, Kansas - Would you believe I have been a part of the AAWH family for six years now, and I have never even been to the homeland of High Plains Journal? Unreal, but that is no longer the case. I drove into town on Wyatt Earp Boulevard and took a quick look around and knew right away I would get along just fine around here. I could live here. We will be harvesting here for the indecipherable future as it decided to rain on our harvest parade last night (06/21), so I'm hoping to rub elbows with some of the HPJ staff. I also plan on doing quite the exposé on the town in an upcoming post as it is a definite harvest classic. We did get into the wheat a bit, and it's beautiful -- 50-60 bushels per acre with a 58 pound test weight. There's nothing like wheat harvest in Kansas.

I wish I had an internal trip meter. I should have pushed this spring to keep track of the miles I put on myself. Scratch that -- should have started it last winter, because then it would include my international travels. The more I think about it, the further my curiosity for this goes. Just imagine 26 years of Midwestern travels via the harvest run plus all the trucker adventures, various road trips with friends and international travels. My trip meter would probably be broken by now.

Apache, Oklahoma - Have I mentioned how much I love small town America? Because I really do. For today's small town love demonstration, I will tell you that the bank had an area setup at the elevator and was cooking burgers for all the harvest crews. As I was un-tarping, one of the ladies asked me how many were in my crew. Upon hearing my response of, "There's just 3 of us," she replied, "Okay, we will make you 10 burgers then." I mean, who I am to turn down free food?

I thought about not posting about this next incident but, it might be exactly what someone out there needs to read to feel better about their own mishap. I'm just gonna go for it. So the other day, I hauled to a new elevator. When you drive truck for a harvest crew, this can be a daily occurrence. Elevators come in all shapes and sizes as well as the scales and pits that go with them. Short, tall, skinny, fat, fast, slow - they make them all sorts of ways. Today's featured scale is skinny. When the scale workers didn't recognize my truck with my first load, they automatically came out to spot me.

Managing Swelling in the Nose After Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty surgery is certainly a complex and complicated procedure to perform. Small maneuvers can result in big changes and unintended consequences. It certainly helps to have a surgeon working on you that knows what they are doing.  Unlike most plastic surgery procedures, nose reshaping takes longer to heal and deliver a final result.  Of all the procedures I perform, rhinoplasty easily requires the closest patient management to get the best results.

Because healing from nose surgery can take up to a year, it is best for patients to exercise a bit of patience to avoid going crazy over those 12 months. Aside from asymmetry, one thing that most patients fret over is swelling in the nose after surgery. Having answered 100’s of questions on, one theme that pops up a bunch has to do with prolonged swelling after rhinoplasty. In general, it doesn’t seem like nose surgeons are doing a great job in preparing their patients for recovery after surgery. Many prefer to take the auto-pilot approach and let time determine the final outcome.

In my opinion, that’s nonsense! An exceptional rhinoplasty surgeon will take the time necessary to educate their patient before and after surgery to make sure that there is a healthy partnership that ensures optimal results. I am great proponent of a hands-on approach to after surgery management of nasal healing and make sure that my patients are taught all they can do to get the best results. To manage swelling after surgery, here are a few things to consider.

Being nutritionally sound prior to surgery will definitely help reduce recovery times after surgery. I am a big proponent of a high protein diet and use of certain supplements for several days before and after surgery. My favorite supplements are Arnica Montana, Bromelain, and Vitamin C. Each supplement has an important roll in healing after surgery.

One of the biggest causes of post-surgical swelling after surgery is inadequate control of bleeding while the patient is on the operative table. Time spent on controlling bleeding in the O.R. will benefit the patient after.

After surgery, the race is on. Patients are so busy trying to get back to their regular lives that they don’t realize they have a big part to play in reducing swelling. I require icing and head of bed elevation to control the major swelling that occurs during the first five days after surgery. In addition, a nasal splint is applied for both protection of the nose and to reduce swelling, pain, and bruising. While patients hate packing in the nose, it is a great way to tamponade bleeding and cut down on bruising and swelling.

Patients groan when they learn of the many things that can increase swelling after surgery. When I remove the splint at one week after surgery, patients are so excited by the results. However, soon that excitement turns to caution as they watch their now uncontained nose swell. This is where patient behavior and compliance with teaching become critical. At the day of splint removal, I teach patients how to tape their noses at night and how to gently mold the nose using pressure several times a day. This helps guide nasal shaping in my opinion.

Patients often remark on how every day they have a new nose because of the ebb and flow of swelling they see. Over time this stops and the nose shapes up quite nicely. Patients in Denver love to be active but this can make recovery slow after nose surgery. Anything that increases your heart rate or blood pressure will increase the swelling in your nose. Extra icing after workouts can help in this situation.

Excess salt or alcohol in the diet can cause swelling. Low protein intake can cause swelling. Excess heat exposure can cause swelling. Sunburn that injures the delicate nasal skin after surgery can cause swelling. Re-traumatizing too early after surgery can increase scar and worsen swelling. So many things can cause swelling. Often the difference between a successful rhinoplasty and a mediocre one is how well the patient managed swelling after surgery.

If swelling doesn’t seem to be resolving despite the patient being compliant with aftercare, the problem may be scar in the nasal skin. This scar can block lymphatic drainage causing a backup of soft-tissue fluid under the skin. A go-to for me in this situation is the use of low dose steroid injections. Steroids shut down inflammation, thereby reducing fluid accumulation.

A final trick that works well is to make sure that the pores of the nose are clean and dry. Anything that plugs the pores will make the skin boggy. Patients with aggressive T-zones have more swollen nasal skin after rhinoplasty than those whose T-zones are small. Pore strips or charcoal waxes that pull out blackheads are very helpful. Nightly hydrogen peroxide cleansing of the nasal tip skin also helps by killing the bacteria in the pores that make the blackheads. Reduced blackhead formation leads to cleaner, less porous skin.

The video below shows my technique taught to patients for managing the swelling that occurs the first 2 months after surgery:

      Hi Emily,
      I do hope that your nose healed up to your liking?

    My nose is exceptionally swollen post revision rhinoplasy at 13 months. I have oily, thick nasal tip skin. I respond very well to steroid injections, but only for a month. If I have scar tissue blocking lymphatic drainage, will the swelling ever stop or will I have to have cortisone injection for ever?! 🙁

    1. Manish H. Shah, MD, FACS January 30, 2021 at 1:08 pm

      Hi Allison,
      If you have thick oily nasal tip skin, I recommend seeing a dermatologist to ask about low dose Accutane. It has been the most effective treatment for your type of skin. It takes 2 years to heal from revision rhinoplasty. Instead of steroid injections, consider oral steroids in the form of a Medrol Dose pack prescribed by your surgeon.
      Good luck,
      Dr. Shah

When your water heater breaks down, you may immediately think you need repairs from an HVAC service in Kalamazoo, MI, but it may actually be time to replace the unit. While water heaters are designed to last a long time, they do need to be replaced after some time and this should generally be done sooner rather than later. Knowing what constitutes a need for repair vs. a need for replacement can help make this household decision a lot easier.

When is repair the best option?

While an HVAC service in Kalamazoo, MI can guide you through your decision to repair or replace your water heater, it is a pretty good sign that if your water heater is still under warranty, you should go ahead with repairs. The cost of these repairs is most likely covered under your warranty and won’t cost you very much to have completed.

If your water heater is relatively new, think about having repairs completed by an HVAC service in Kalamazoo, MI when it isn’t working properly. The cost of the repairs will be significantly less than the cost of getting a new water heater when yours still has plenty of life in it.

When your repairs are not very costly, you should go ahead and have them done. It is only when the cost of the repairs will get you halfway to buying a new water heater that you should forgo having them completed. Inexpensive repairs are part of owning a water heater and don’t necessarily mean you need to replace the whole unit.

Knowing when to replace your water heater

While some repairs are necessary with water heaters, if the cost of these repairs is starting to skyrocket, you may want to think about replacing your water heater with a newer model that will be more reliable to operate. When your repairs creep up to that 50 percent mark, consider a new water heater a good investment.

With all the energy efficient models of water heaters on the market, now may be the time to purchase a new unit. If your water heater is up there in age, it most definitely is not providing you with the most cost-effective operation. Buying a new water heater to replace your existing model can help you save money on your energy bill by running more efficiently.

When you call for HVAC service in Kalamazoo, MI and they have trouble finding the replacement parts to fix your water heater, this is another sure sign that this is going to cost you more than expected. You should invest in a new water heater model that has parts readily available when you need them. Older model water heaters are getting outdated, and servicing them is likely more of a problem than it’s worth.

Whether you need to repair or replace your water heater, an HVAC service in Kalamazoo, MI can help you fix your existing unit or identify a new one that will fit your home and your water needs.

What’s All the Fuss – Is Vapes Much healthier Than Traditional Smoking cigarettes?

What’s All the Fuss – Is Vapes Much healthier Than Traditional Smoking cigarettes?

An electric cigarette is simply an electronic device which behaves like conventional tobacco cigarettes. It usually consists of an Atomizer, a rechargeable power source like a cellular phone battery, and a plastic material tube like a tank or cartridge. Instead of tobacco, the vaper inhales only vapor. Inhaling it brings about no actual smoke that may be harmful for your lungs. However, because it simply behaves just like a cigarette, it could still attract some negative attention from public health officials. Because of this, it is important to know very well what you are actually getting by using an electronic cigarette.

Electric Tobacconist

The majority of vapor from the Vape is produced by an electronic chemical reaction. The chemical reaction might not necessarily be exactly like what happens in a normal tobacco use. However, it is believed to be a secure enough chemical reaction. Which means that there is no reason to be concerned about health issues due to the chemicals within tobacco employ.

Some of the chemicals found in the vapor can irritate some individuals. However, many people use the cigarettes because they are supposed to be more healthy than regular tobacco smoking cigarettes. These vapor cigarettes are supposed to be healthier because they usually do not contain any dangerous chemicals. Consequently, if you use the vapor without knowing what you are actually inhaling, you may experience some side effects.

Most of the chemicals that make up vapor can also irritate the respiratory system. For instance, some of the most common chemicals in vapor which could irritate the lungs contain parainfluenza and salicylates. Unfortunately, a number of the cheaper the cigarettes don’t have any type of protection against these kinds of chemicals. Therefore, they are cigarettes can actually trigger a number of health problems. If you use them with any type of medication, especially antibiotics, you can develop an immunity to specific medicines.

Additionally, there are different types of metals that are contained in vapor that can irritate the skin. For example, nickel is really a highly toxic substance. On the other hand, the vapor contains only trace amounts of nickel. Therefore, it will be possible to inhale very small amounts of nickel rather than experience any health issues due to this fact.

There are also different varieties of e-liquids in the marketplace. However, each of the vapor that you inhale should be completely free from any kind of harmful chemicals. Therefore, you must make sure that the e-liquids you choose don’t have any ingredients that can harm your lungs. For this reason, it is very important to check on the label on the merchandise meticulously.

Additionally, there are many differences between normal electronic cigarettes and the newer model of vaporisers. One of the biggest differences is that the new models of vaporisers need you to replace the standard batteries in your electronic smoke very rarely. In fact, you can easily go through a whole day without actually changing out the batteries. The new models of vaporisers may also be designed to not produce any sort of vapor if they are utilised without the correct power.

To conclude, we have looked at some of the most important differences between normal e-cigs and vapes. The newest models of vaporisers certainly are a great improvement over the older models. They are produced from a new material that will not harm your body. They’re much more efficient than traditional vapers and even create a smoother and more flavorful vapor. Finally, we’ve looked at the differences between papers that use regular batteries and enhanced vapers that employ rechargeable batteries.

In conclusion, this article has viewed a few of the major differences between typical e-liquids and vaporizers. E-liquids contain a mix of propylene glycol (a common chemical compound that may be found in antifreeze), and butane, that may greatly damage your lungs. It is vital to remember that no liquid nicotine merchandise will damage your lungs. They only become a vehicle for the nicotine, and as such can easily be damaged by prolonged make use of. We strongly advise that anyone who is considering starting an electronic cigarette to speak to their medical professional.

Advanced vapers are a very new technology that is becoming more and more popular. These advanced vaporisers usually do not contain any type of propylene glycol or butane. These innovative vaper have various different flavors and options that you can choose from to satisfy your preferences. Although the taste of these e-liquids is far different than traditional cigarettes, they still do not contain any type of harmful chemical compounds. We highly recommend that should you are thinking about switching to an alternative solution smoking unit, that you exhaust all possible choices.

We’ve looked at a few of the main differences between traditional smoking and vapes, including the proven fact that vapes do not release any kind of harmful chemicals into the air. There are also multiple studies conducted showing that folks use e cigarettes far less than smokers. Also, lots of people utilize them with fruit flavors that do not taint the tastes of traditional cigarettes. The end result is that it’s imperative that everyone stay mainly because clear as possible about the dangers associated with cigarettes and their related goods, particularly if you are prone to developing a cancer.

Rachel Pfeffer's shop started off slow and steady way back in 2007, when she was making duct tape purses in college. It started in high school, and she thought she was the coolest cat around. It was before the duct tape craze though, so she likes to think of herself of some kind of pioneer. That's why her shop was originally called Lucky Duct! Then somewhere in there she started making Bullet Buddies (which may still come back), that were little characters she carved and hammered and drilled into empty bullet shells. Around 2009 she really started in on the jewelry, kicked the duct tape accessories to the curb, and she's been making jewelry ever since!

“Bravura,” a classic American march for July 4, 2016

Happy Independence Day, everyone!  In my continuing effort to expand beyond the ubiquitous marches of John Philip Sousa, I present “Bravura” by C.E. Duble.  It will likely sound familiar to many of you, so much so that you might have thought that it actually was written by Sousa.  It also happened to be one of my favorite marches to actually, um, march to during my military days.

Below is a rendition of “Bravura” by the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band (fka the USAF Tactical Air Command Band).  These are the same folks that still have lots of free patriotic and ceremonial military music available for download at their website HERE and HERE.  Enjoy.

The following is the latest list of RV recalls complied by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA):

• Braxton Creek RV is recalling 702 2020 Bushwhacker and Bushwhacker Plus travel trailers. The tire data sticker incorrectly states that the tires should have 65 PSI. The tires have a maximum pressure of 50 PSI .

• Forest River Inc. is recalling 79 2020-2021 Dynamax Isata vehicles. Inadequate warmup protection can cause a lack of oil film on the engine connecting rod bearings while the engine is reaching operating temperature. This can result in engine damage and connecting rod failure, which could potentially puncture the engine block.

• Newmar Corporation is recalling 48 2021 Essex, Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, and London Aire motorhomes. The front leveling jacks may not be fastened correctly to the chassis, possibly causing the jacks to fail to support the weight of the motorhome.

• Jayco Inc. is recalling three 2021 Jay Feather X213 “J3” Baja type recreational trailers. The tire size and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information on the tire and certification labels may be incorrect, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded.

Listen to new Peach Tree Rascals song, "Leave Me"

Homemade Projects/10K Projects

Peach Tree Rascals have released a new song called “Leave Me.”

The track, which is available now for digital download, appears on the “Mariposa” group’s upcoming EP Camp Nowhere, due out March 26.

Camp Nowhere came from the idea that a lot of people have been using the isolation of quarantine and the state of the world to dig deeper into themselves and figure out what’s important to them,” says vocalist Tarrek . “For some it’s discovering a new hobby, or that it’s time to move on to a new place. For PTR, it was taking a week in Yosemite to dive into our creativity. We’ve always done a combination of sounds that inspire us all. This feels like all of our inspirations mixed together.”

The EP follows Peach Tree Rascals’ breakout hit “Mariposa,” which hit number two on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart.

Album Review: Cyperna’s The Darker Side of Matter

Relentless and purposefully jarring, Cyperna’s upcoming full-length album The Darker Side of Matter is a brutal addition to Connecticut’s local metal catalog. Dissonant harmonies, stilted rhythms, and shifting time signatures make for an aggressive sound that challenges the ear but still keeps the head banging.

Opening track “Death Rides a Horse” exemplifies these qualities. The song will be familiar to listeners from the video Cyperna filmed at their friend’s wedding – possibly the most metal thing to happen at a wedding ever.

The fifth song, “Excuse Me That’s Mine,” has also been released on Youtube. It shows the band’s humorous side with a Primus-esque earworm for an intro — and a vocal break that will surprise the people in the car next to you.

Slow and spacey, seventh track “Tuning a Fracture” is the only departure from the album’s overall driving atmosphere, giving listeners a brief break from being aurally pounded. The next song, “Deliquese,” teases with a couple melodic riffs at the beginning, but then it’s right back to the minor second harmonies. Twelve tracks in all, eleven of which screech, grind, and crush: this record is not for the uninitiated.

Baldwin creeping on Cyperna's Steve Barrett at A Very Cherry Christmas.

The Darker Side of Matter will be released online Christmas Eve and hard copies will be available in the near future. If you missed them at Cherry Street last night, your next chances to *catch* Cyperna are out of state:

  • 1/17 at The Palladium in Worcester, MA
  • 3/15 at Brighton Bar in Brighton, NJ

Find Cyperna on Facebook and Twitter to stay posted on more shows as they are announced – and to get on that download link when the album comes out this Tuesday!

Aggressively angled discs

With a cutting angle of 17° at the front and 14° to the rear, the Catros, Catros+ and CatrosXL discs are mounted aggressively ensuring the uninterrupted transfer of the soil-straw mixture from the first to the second row of discs resulting in a first class mixing of soil and plant material. Compared with flat angled discs, the discharge angle of the more aggressive disc arrangement is noticeably smaller. In this way the moved soil/straw mixture is redeposited again on the soil surface well ahead of the following roller.

The austerity of the affluent

P. Sainath

A rural Indian spending Rs. 22.50 a day would not be considered poor by a Planning Commission whose Deputy Chairman's foreign trips between May and October last year cost a daily average of Rs. 2.02 lakh.

Pranab Mukherjee's stirring call for austerity tugs at the national tear ducts. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has pleaded for it in the past and watched his flock embrace it creatively. With the Finance Ministry even acting on Dr. Singh's call in 2009 (economy class air travel, spending cuts), we are now in the fourth year of our noble quest.

There are, of course, several kinds of austerity. My pick would be the variety practised by Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia. No one can challenge Dr. Ahluwalia's commitment to austerity. Look at the way he's stood up to the populist demand for a poverty line that makes sense. No pampering people here. Spend Rs. 29 a day in urban India or Rs. 23 in rural India and you are not poor. He's even asked the Supreme Court to uphold the imposition of such rigour on hundreds of millions of his fellow citizens. One affidavit filed by the Planning Commission defended a line of Rs. 32 (urban) and Rs. 26 (rural) a day. Since then, the Padma Vibhushan awardee and some of his colleagues have stuck their necks out to lower that further.

RTI queries

That Dr. Ahluwalia practises austerity himself is evident from two RTI queries. Both fine examples of RTI-based journalism, but failing to get the attention they deserved. Both exploring the anatomy of his austerity. One was a story in India Today(covering Dr. Ahluwalia's foreign trips between June 2004 and January 2011) by Shyamlal Yadav. This journalist (now with The Indian Express), has done outstanding RTI-based stories in the past as well.

The other, in February this year, came from The Statesman News Service (reporter unnamed). This one took out details on Dr. Ahluwalia's global forays between May and October 2011. In that period, he undertook "four trips covering 18 nights [which] cost the exchequer a sum of Rs. 36,40,140, an average cost of Rs 2.02 lakh a day," says the SNS report.

At the time this happened, that Rs. 2.02 lakh would have been worth $4,000 a day. (Gee! Lucky for us Montek was into austerity. Imagine what his expenditure might have been otherwise). That is a daily spend almost 9,000 times greater than the 45 cents cut-off point at which rural Indians would be doing okay, in his view. Or over 7,000 times greater than the 55 cents cut-off point for urban Indians that Dr. Ahluwalia would find "normatively adequate."

Now his spend of Rs. 3.6 million (or $72,000) in 18 days might well have been his personal stimulus to global tourism in that year. After all, the industry in 2010 was still recovering from the ravages of 2008-09, as the United Nations World Tourism Organisation points out. The U.N. agency found, on the other hand, that 2011 saw global travel revenues cross $1 trillion. The largest revenue increases were seen in the U.S. and Europe (where most of those 18 days were spent). The Indian public can rejoice over its money playing a humble part in that recovery even while scorched by austerity at home.

The stats from the Shyamlal Yadav's RTI are fascinating. To begin with, his findings show Dr. Ahluwalia made 42 official foreign trips and spent 274 days overseas during a seven-year tenure. That is "one in every nine days" abroad. And that's excluding travel days. The India Today story found that his excursions cost the exchequer Rs.2.34 crore. However, it points out that they received three different estimates of the costs of his trips and charitably went with the lowest.

Also, said the India Today story, "it is not clear whether the figures include the expenses incurred by Indian embassies abroad on frills such as hiring limousines. The actual costs could be a lot higher."

Since the post he holds does not require so much foreign travel — all of it done, though, with "the permission of the Prime Minister" — this is puzzling. That 23 of the 42 trips were to the U.S., which does not believe in planning (but then, perhaps, neither does Dr. Ahluwalia), is even more puzzling. What were these trips about? Spreading global awareness on austerity? If so, we'll have to spend more on his travel: look at those revolting Greeks killing the Cause on the streets of Athens.

And even more on his trips to the U.S. where the austerity of the affluent is striking. CEOs in that country took home billions in bonuses even in 2008, the year Wall Street tanked the global economy. This year, even the media journals of the super-rich in the U.S. write about CEOs destroying their companies, jobs and more — and gaining personally from it. Millions of Americans, including many who suffered home mortgage foreclosures, saw a different kind of austerity. The kind the French increasingly fear and have voted against.

When Dr. Singh pleaded for austerity in 2009, his Cabinet rose handsomely to the call. Each member added a modest million rupees a month thereafter, on average, to his or her assets over the next 27 months. All the while, hard at work as Ministers. ("The Union Cabinet gets healthier," The Hindu, September 21, 2011). Praful Patel excelled, adding on average, half-a-million rupees to his assets every 24 hours in that period. Workers in Air India, under a Ministry he headed much of that time, struggled to get their salaries for weeks on end. Now with Pranab cracking the whip, there'll be even more austerity going around.

Note the bipartisan spirit of this austerity: in the past few years, Praful Patel (UPA-NCP) and Nitin Gadkari (NDA-BJP) have hosted two of the costliest weddings ever, with far more guests than seen at any IPL final. Gender-balanced Spartanism, too. That was for Mr. Patel's daughter and Mr. Gadkari's son.

Their corporate counterparts take it further. Mukesh Ambani with his 27-floor (but higher than 50 storeys) costliest residence in living memory. And Vijay Mallya — whose employees in Kingfisher struggle for their salaries — who tweeted on May 5: "Having dinner at Atmosphere on the 123rd floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Never been so high up in my life. Awesome view." That's probably higher than Kingfisher is flying right now. Both own teams in the IPL. Which body has received public subsidies (by way of entertainment tax waivers, for example). That is, until the matter went to the Bombay High Court. There are other public-funded austerities linked to the IPL — watch this space.

Wall Street model

The corporate world here generally follows the austerity model of Wall Street. There, nine banks including Citigroup and Merrill Lynch "paid $32.6 billion in bonuses in 2008, while receiving $175 billion in taxpayers funds," reported Bloomberg in 2009. It quoted New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's report on the subject: "When the banks did well, their employees were paid well. When the banks did poorly, their employees were paid well. When the banks did very poorly, they were bailed out by taxpayers and their employees were still paid well. Bonuses and overall compensation did not vary significantly as profits diminished."

Note that Pranab's austerity prayer last week saw the soothsayers of the super-rich raging on TV that the deficit was all due to "one populist measure after another." That is, stupid things like trying to give people work, reduce hunger or send children to school. No mention of the Plutocrat Populism which saw about Rs. 5 lakh crore (roughly $100 billion at the time) being gifted mostly to the rich and the corporate classes by the same Pranab budget in concessions on Corporate Tax, Excise and Customs Duties. (See "To fix BPL, nix CPL," The Hindu, March 26, 2012). Sitaram Yechury pointed out in Parliament that these write-offs for the super-rich exceeded the fiscal deficit by Rs. 8,000 crore. But it is the 'populist measures' aimed at the poor that get panned.

Amartya Sen (The Hindu, Jan. 7, 2012) ruefully asks "why there is hardly any media discussion about other revenue-involving problems, such as the exemption of diamond and gold from customs duty, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, involves a loss of a much larger amount of revenue (Rs.50,000 crore per year) than the additional cost involved in the Food Security Bill (Rs.27,000 crore)."

Indians outside the charmed circle of the meritorious know a different austerity. Food inflation in double digits. Vegetable prices rising 60 per cent in a year. Child malnourishment double that of sub-Saharan Africa. Families cutting back sharply on milk and essentials. Massive increases in health costs bankrupting millions. Farmers unable to afford inputs or access credit. A drinking water scarcity for many, as more and more of that life-giving substance gets diverted for other purposes.

How much nicer to practise the austerity of the elite.

Pan-Braised Onions with Rosemary

I sure have been posting an awful lot of food posts lately. I guess I’m not really doing much else at the moment since my sewing table won’t be here until Sunday.  I went to Nitori, sort of a Japanese Ikea but way smaller, and I found the perfect sewing table, but they were fresh out at the store. Oh well, gives me more time to get motivated to finally finish this! Other than that, I have been working on an afghan-throw for my chair in the living room. I started on it last July and am not even halfway finished.

Sam is gone for the next three days so I don’t have to cook breakfast or dinner until he gets back! That gives me plenty of time to work on these poor projects that I have been ignoring. But first I have to tell you about my favorite side dish in the entire universe. I got it from my Mayo Clinic Cookbook and it was one of the first things I ever cooked for Sam. The recipe swears that it serves 4, however I find that I sometimes need to double it to serve the two of us. It’s kind of an odd side dish, but if you love onions and balsamic vinegar you’ll wonder why you never thought of this before!

You will need:

1 tablespoon EVOO

2 lb. yellow onions, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch thick

2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

1 bay leaf

1/4 cup vegetable stock, or dry white wine

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

salt and freshly ground pepper

1. In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, minced rosemary, and bay leaf.

2. Reduce the heat to very low, cover tightly, and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are tender and begin to turn golden, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to stick, just add a couple more tablespoons of the veggie stock.

3. Add the vegetable stock and bring to simmer. Cook until the stock evaporates completely, about 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and simmer until the liquid is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.

My mouth is watering looking at this picture. Soooooooo good.

I served these onions along side Rosemary pork chops, a healthy salad with homemade vinaigrette, and a nice glass of Red Bicyclette Syrah. Yummy!

Okay, I’m off fetch some cheese, wine, and a few good movies to get me through these next three nights without my Samuel.

  1. Although I’m not a fan of onions, this dish sounds good…until I see the finished product ha ha then it reminds me of something you might dig up out of the mud. Hahaha but good food doesn’t always look good. Be sure and take a picture of the sewing table once you get it!

Experts Say Hillary Clinton’s Emails Were Likely Hacked

Hillary Liar

Despite everything Democrats claim about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, it really is a big deal. She put America’s national security at risk for her own selfish purposes. She exposed classified intelligence to potential enemies of America and did so while serving as Secretary of State.

The situation is so bad that even the liberal New York Times is admitting the obvious:

Hillary Clinton’s Email Was Probably Hacked, Experts Say

When the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Tuesday that his investigators had no “direct evidence” that Hillary Clinton’s email account had been “successfully hacked,” both private experts and federal investigators immediately understood his meaning: It very likely had been breached, but the intruders were far too skilled to leave evidence of their work.

Mr. Comey described, in fairly blistering terms, a set of email practices that left Mrs. Clinton’s systems wide open to Russian and Chinese hackers, and an array of others. She had no full-time cybersecurity professional monitoring her system. She took her BlackBerry everywhere she went, “sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries.” Her use of “a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent.”

In the end, the risks created by Mrs. Clinton’s insistence on keeping her communications on a private server may prove to be a larger issue than the relatively small amount of classified data investigators said they found on her system. But the central mystery — who got into the system, if anyone — may never be resolved.

POLL: Do You Think Trump Was The Real Winner Of The Election?

Completing this poll entitles you to ProTrumpNews updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime with a single click. Here's the Privacy Policy.

“Reading between the lines and following Comey’s logic, it does sound as if the F.B.I. believes a compromise of Clinton’s email is more likely than not,” said Adam Segal, the author of “Hacked World Order,” who studies cyberissues at the Council on Foreign Relations. “Sophisticated attackers would have known of the existence of the account, would have targeted it and would not have been seen.”…

“Hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact,” he said.

Hillary Clinton should be disqualified from the presidency for this.

How can the American people be sure she wouldn’t be blackmailed by a hostile foreign government?

5 Tips to Consider When Moving Your Family For Your Job

Is relocation for a new job worth it for your family? Here are a few ways to evaluate if moving your family for your job is the right decision.

1. Check-In with Your Family

The most significant discussion you can have with your family is making sure everyone is on board with this decision. Sitting your family down and openly discussing the positives and negatives of your relocation is a helpful way to answer any questions or ease any fears they might have about the move. Be prepared for your children to have uneasiness about this life change, as they most likely haven’t had to deal with as much unfamiliarity in their lives as you have. Remember to be patient as it may take some time for them to fully grasp what it will mean to relocate their lives. It can also be helpful to come prepared with a list of a few positive aspects of your new city. Is there an amusement park down the street? Will you be living next to the beach? Are there any interesting museums or indoor attractions that they might enjoy? All of these things can help them better envision the move.

2. Make Sure the Timing is Right

While it may be an ideal time for you to make a career transition, make sure that the timing will work for your spouse as well. If your spouse recently started a new position, is finishing schooling or is in the middle of a big life change, it may not be the best time to relocate. If your spouse is willing to move, you’ll want to make sure that your job is able to support both you and your spouse until he or she can find a new opportunity in the new city. If you have children, you’ll want to make sure that you’re not uprooting them at a crucial time in their schooling. For example, it’s always easier to move in the summer before school starts so that they can have a fresh start at a new school in the fall versus in the middle of the school year. You’ll also want to do your homework and make sure that the schools in your new area are up to par with your current city. After all, you wouldn’t want to move across the country only to realize that the school system is below average.

3. Calculate the Cost of Living

Relocating is an expensive undertaking, and a new city means different pricing on everyday staples like groceries, housing, electric etc. Before you accept a new position, you’ll want to realistically calculate the cost of living in your new city. Take a look at apartments or houses in the area and make sure that they are within your budget. If your new salary doesn’t cover the cost of living in your new area, you may want to reconsider your relocation.

4. Don’t Forget About Moving Expenses

Oftentimes a make or break aspect of relocating is whether or not your new company will cover your moving expenses. Atlas Van Lines reports that a single person moving from a one-bedroom, Los Angeles apartment to one in Chicago could spend approximately $2,240 for professional movers to load and unload a single mobile storage container. This cost can triple when you’re talking about moving an entire 5-person household. If your company won’t cover your expenses, experts suggest doing a cost-benefit analysis to weigh the professional opportunities as well as the financial sacrifices of your move.

5. Weigh What the Day-To-Day Will Be Like

After you’ve checked in with your family, weighed the cost of living and factored in moving expenses, the last thing you’ll want to consider is what your day-to-day will be like. Each city offers something a bit different and while you may love living in New York City, you may not enjoy Los Angeles or vice versa. You’ll want to weigh factors like weather, commuting times, transportation options such as public transportation versus driving, and extracurricular opportunities in your new city. If you’re really involved in a church group or an artist community in your current city, you’ll want to make sure that you can find something comparable in your new city. You’ll also want to make sure that if you are relocating away from friends and family that you and your own family will be okay during the transition. It takes awhile to make new friends and build relationships and if you’re not prepared for it, it can make the move a lot harder.

Lionsgate’s premier new Blair With trailer at SDCC

San Diego Comic Con is a convention that has far-surpassed any other convention on earth and pretty much has become more of an outlet for trailer reveals than anything else. Many of the highlights are dominated by twin pillars Marvel and DC, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t news for pretty much any niche fan group out there: including horror.

On Saturday, Lionsgate played the trailer for their film The Woods, but when people sat down to watch it, they were instead treated to a much bigger event.

Turns out there is no film called The Woods, instead it was a much bigger marketing ploy to reveal their upcoming movie Blair Witch. Yes, of the iconic 1999 film, The Blair Witch Project. Like the massive surprise trailer drop for the sequel to Cloverfield10 Cloverfield Lane, Lionsgate enlisted similar, if unorthodox, way of getting hype around the film. Actors were even given fake scripts at auditions while even fake trailers under the name The Woods had been shown in cinemas.

The real title and story of the film was all changed during the preview at SDCC – from the IMDB page to a real trailer with the real title being posted on YouTube.

So, what about the movie itself? It’s a sequel to the first film as Heather’s brother James decides to set out with his friends in hope of finding his sister who has been missing for years.

The trailer itself is pretty… meeeeh. Much of it seems mostly been there, seen that. Lots of jump scares and shaky camera work of these expensive HD cameras. The Blair Witch Project worked so well almost entirely because of its time. It would be almost impossible to replicate the sort of hype and mystery that could be created in that sort of pre-internet-obsessed era. Plus I personally always find it more difficult to buy into a found-footage movie when all the actors are super good looking instead of just normal actors. It’s the same reason why Paranormal Activity worked – viewers are able to suspend their belief much more when it feels like it could happen to them.

But there’s a lot of faith in director Adam Wingard’s work. So here’s hoping that whoever put the trailer together just wanted to make the movie look bad on purpose. Just seeing the witch symbols and that old house gave me shivers reminiscent of the first one. Also, the major claustrophobia of the girl in the underground hole – eeeeeh! So I’ll remain hesitant. It looks utter shit, but with trailers today, you’ll never know what the hell you’ll get. Fingers and sticks crossed.

Prosecutor’s office will accuse Norman Quijano of election fraud and illegal groups

Prosecutor’s office will accuse Norman Quijano of election fraud and illegal groups

The attorney general submitted the requirements on Saturday afternoon. He also reported that the former MP left the country on Friday afternoon.

The Attorney General’s office asked the Seventh Peace Court to order the arrest of former MP and former Speaker of the Legislative Council, Norman Quijano, for alleged negotiations with gangs in exchange for electoral support when he was a candidate for the presidency in 2014..

The Prosecutor said in the case, “This afternoon, we submitted a request to formal instructions for the arrest of Mr. Norman Cuegano Gonzalez on charges of illegal group crimes and procedural fraud.”

“The candidate of the ring, through several people, made proposals to gang members to validate the vote of the gangs, their families and their communities,” he added. This was due to the fact that in the first election round, none of the parties had the necessary votes to obtain the presidency.

The prosecutor in the case confirmed that $ 100,000 was handed over by the Arena Party to the gangs.

The Attorney General, Raul Millara, indicated that in January 2020, a preliminary ruling was requested against Quijano in the Legislative Assembly, but in May of the same year, the majority of the deputies decided not to remove his constitutional jurisdiction.

“Unfortunately, it did not have an echo in the Legislative Assembly that ended yesterday (Friday, April 30),” Melara said on her Twitter account.

He added, “In line with our constitutional mission and our compliance with it, we endorse this commitment to prosecute all those who negotiated with the gangs, among other crimes, which is a crime that has already occurred in the country and should not be repeated.”

SEE ALSO: Millara does not rule out another preliminary referee request against Quijano

The Public Prosecutor also confirmed that when coordinating the arrest of the former MP, Immigration stated that he left the country yesterday – 2:08 pm last Friday by road. “This confirms that it is clear that there is an escape risk that has already been realized,” Melara said.

The prosecutor in the case confirmed that Coygano used a diplomatic passport and a diplomatic car to leave the country for Honduras.

At the time of his departure, the former MP was still enjoying his constitutional powers, so he had to wait until yesterday to be charged before the court.

Quijano confirmed that he is outside the country, but confirmed that he will return within the next few days to face the judicial process.

I’m out of the country, I’m attending a family engagement party, and I’m planning to return to the country in a couple of days. I found out that the public prosecutor had filed a court order based on false accusations. “

He added, “I will defend my innocence to my last breath.
At the required moment, I will introduce myself to show my face, because as I have always said, and whoever knows me knows me, I am innocent. “

Quijano was elected to the Parliament of Central America (Parlasin), but he has not yet been sworn in.

Putin impersonator beats real president to Geneva

By Emma Farge and Yiming Woo
GENEVA (Reuters) - One day before the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva for a historic summit meeting with US President Joe Biden, a doppelganger was spotted in the Swiss city protesting against the release of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
Shirtless and army pants to mimic summer vacation shots of the real Russian president, protester Alexander Lyubushin put on a Putin face mask and sat on a bench in a sunny Geneva square, pretending to be necking vodka.
When asked whether he expected a good result from the summit meeting on Wednesday afternoon in a nearby villa on the lake, the impersonator replied: "Of course. If not, I'll cut off all gas and oil."
On the bench next to him lay a fake pistol and a counterfeit bottle of the neurotoxin Novichok, which German doctors used to poison Navalny with in Siberia last year.
The Kremlin denies allegations that it ordered the poisoning.
Nearby, several dozen protesters called for Navalny's release from a Russian prison, where he was serving a two-and-a-half year sentence.
They chanted "Russia without Putin" next to a poster on which Navalny signed a heart - a copy of a mural that appeared a few days ago on a street in central Geneva.
A senior US official said Biden's administration would raise human rights at the summit, which also includes nuclear weapons and ransomware, but did not say whether that would include the Navalny case.
Geneva hosts the United Nations Human Rights Council and is a center for activism. Nawalny's daughter received an award for "moral courage" on behalf of her father at a virtual meeting of the Geneva Summit on Human Rights and Democracy last week.
Protester Maria Knyazeva said she hoped Biden would raise Nawalny's case directly with Putin.
“I understand strategic issues must come first, but if Biden and other Western leaders don't stand up for human rights, who will? She said.

Pattens comma

When Carlos figures he can run in five inch heels but six is pushing it, I hear it as anticipatory, and less boast than fair assessment based on experience. To slay and to sprint. To slay at a sprint. Such double duty is another reminder that some of us do more, have to do more, than others. Better inclined to than have to but same difference after a while.

This penchant for the two (three, five) fold may also account for what I thought a commonly shared sentiment but recognize now, chillingly, as absolutely not the case. And that is an affection for English spoken with an accent. No doubt this has something to do with trilingual parents. The infinite charms of my father’s English though, gave little hint of the piercing sarcasm and wit in his Korean. And when he spoke Japanese which I do not, I would wonder what other nuances are inaccessible to me. What do I in fact not know, about those I think I know so well? When something is said, what else is unsaid and unheard?

Following these lines and amidst a configuration of preloved oddities in relief—protruding yet attached, sculptural yet pictorial—is an invitation to inhabit another kind of space alongside the one given, however schematically registered. Not as mise-en-scene exactly, nor a window on the world, but one nonetheless conducive to spacing in and out and reverie, to perturbation possibly, or as with the Flemish of old, to an aggregation of views held together in a curious simultaneity. Flat yet dimensional, isometric and perspectival. Two (three, five) point.

In the American context, I don’t speak with an accent. (And can muster almost as much DIY gumption for building platforms where none exist as your average Joe. Bet your boots, by our own bootstraps, best foot forward, walk a mile in someone else’s, one two buckle my… et al.) But I ask you to consider here, what it might mean to make work with an accent.

Annatto seed powder: Uses and Benefits

Annatto seed powder is produced from the seeds of the achiote tree which grows in tropical locations around the world. The achiote tree is native to several locations in Central and South America. The seeds inside are small and red and are loaded with vitamins and minerals that help the body in numerous ways. It’s believed that the annatto seed powder was used more during rituals of painting the body and medicinal purposes before it had been used for food or to dye different seasonings to cook with. The oil from the seeds is often added to naturally color foods just like the famous Spanish paella. The annatto seed powder also offers a small low peppery taste when used as a spice.

As a plant high in antioxidants, annatto likely has benefits that might reduce the expansion and spread of cancer tumors. Annatto also has properties that will calm indigestion, relieve heartburn and ease the pain of stomach cramps. For stomach-pain relief, add annatto to herbal tea or other warm beverages.  With numerous amazing health benefits, it’s time to replenish your kitchen on annatto seeds today. Another great way of including these seeds in your diet is by adding ground annatto to recipes or sprinkling the whole seeds over salads for a powerful boost to your health from within.

The more antioxidants at hand, the more protection, and support you provide your skin. When in pain from burns injury or wounds or any skin disorder, annatto seeds cream could be spread evenly to hasten the treatment process and lower the scaring and mitigate the pain. The oil extracted from the Annatto seeds is rich in beta-carotene; a source of vitamin A,  it inhibits the oxidation of other molecules and protects the body from free radicals.

We added Annatto seed powder to our Simply Sweet Bar Soap so you can benefit from all the goodness these ground seeds offer.

Annatto is additionally a coloring agent made up of the seeds of the plant Bixa Orellana, commonly called the lipstick tree.  The cosmetic industry has used annatto in the formulation of lipsticks, shampoos, soaps and other skincare products.  We added annatto seed powder to our Simply Sweet bar soap so you can benefit from all the goodness these ground seeds offer.

At ANBIA® we took advantage of this natural dye to add a pale-yellow color to our Simply Sweet Bar Soap

Caroline and Chip {Rehearsal Dinner} | Little Point Clear | Fairhope, AL

A Little Point Clear Rehearsal Dinner

It was a mellow April day. Some Spring showers had given way to a bit of sunshine and the drips of honeysuckle greenery at the entrance of the wedding venue wafted their intoxicating aromas right as you arrived on site. Little Point Clear is where Caroline and Chip chose to have their rehearsal dinner.

A fun, intimate place tucked away by the waters of Mobile Bay, Little Point Clear is a distinctively Southern reception space with overnight guest suites, featuring an airy coastal design and feel. I adore working here, as the owners and coordinators are absolute pros at their work. Not to mention the sweetest, most down to Earth people you’ll ever meet!

Chip and Caroline’s rehearsal dinner was styled and organized by Mother of the Groom Julie in collaboration with family friend Lorna. Of course a team of event professionals came to put just the perfect finishing touches on everything!

Wildflowers Fairhope decorated the space with stunning woodland inspired table arrangements and a touch of hunting theme, dotted with burgundy peonies to tie in with the Bryars’ family crest.

Rob Berglin Catering provided a delicious catering spread, with bartender service by Mark Kidd.

The bride and groom chose favorite wines from the well known wine bar Red or White. Fairhope Brewing Company brought their famous draughts on tap, at the couple’s request, who were once part of the fun FBC team!

Robert Sully performed live guitar music as the guests enjoyed a truly decadent chocolate cake baked by none other than Couture Cakes of Daphne!

We loved every minute of the emotional champagne toasts made by Chip’s parent’s – Charles and Julie – and you’ll see there was there was not a dry eye in the room.

When the sun went down and stars came out, the hosts of Little Point Clear started a casual bonfire in front of the building. I then snuck out to take a few landscape night images of this whole sweet affair. The smell of honeysuckle was absolutely breathtaking…

We ended the festivities with a casually fun group portrait of the family, gathered together to celebrate Chip and Caroline, their love and the beginning of new life together!

How to download Android casino apps in India

Indian bettors will already be aware of how difficult it can be to download a casino or online betting app when using an Android device.

Google Play does not allow the direct download of these kinds of apps, therefore resulting in users of their software having to find alternative means in which they are able to add them to their devices. Although many will be rather happy to be able to access a web browser on their Android-supported devices and access an online casino that way, many are still keen on having dedicated apps to help them achieve the best user experiences possible.

However, there is a way in which an app can be downloaded for Indian bettors looking to use a mobile casino on their smartphones and tablets.

How to download an app

As mentioned, Google Play do not allow for users to download a gambling app of any sort directly from their store, therefore bettors will need to find a workaround for it to happen. This is where a piece of kit called an APK can come in.

Many online casinos will provide players with an APK file that can be downloaded, which will then be able to open on an Android device and host the application desired without any problems.

In order to do this, bettors will need to ensure that they allow the APK to have access, and this can be done by simply heading to the ‘Settings’ on a device and then through the ‘Security’ and ‘Unknown Sources’ options. Once this has been completed, players will be able to download any APK of the mobile casino of their choice with ease.

Just accept all of the questions that pop up and install the software. However, be sure to download the APK from a trusted source, which could be the mobile casino’s website.

What to look out for

As mentioned, it is important to make sure that the APK file being downloaded is genuine and one that still provides the safety, security, and authentic experiences that Indian bettors want and deserve.

Unfortunately, there are a number of people around the world that will look to take advantage, and with Google Play Store not allowing users to download betting apps directly from them, it will leave scammers with an opportunity to strike.

Of course, bettors looking for mobile casino apps can make sure they eliminate the potential of being exposed, as they can download many of the APK’s for their favoured online casino by simply heading to the website of their operator and finding the link on their page.

Why use them over a traditional website

Indian bettors will be able to use a gambling operators’ main website for all of their sports betting and gambling needs when using a device, but many will prefer to be able to use a dedicated app.

One of the main reasons for this is down to the fact that the mobile casino app will solely work to provide a streamlined experience and one that can be considered exceptional, as it can be accepted that there is less that can go wrong.

Also, an app will have been developed with the sole aim of providing the best gameplay and betting experiences, whilst users using a traditional website on a mobile browser may still encounter problems, despite the gambling operators having worked extremely hard to provide faultless platforms.

Christine and Pat’s Engagement/Family Session – 8/8/16- Minnehaha Falls

Christine and Pat met on a dating site.  They had both been on there for a while and were ready to give up on using it to find a match when they came across each other.  It was an instant connection, and four years later, they are getting married.  For their engagement shoot, they wanted to incorporate their children, Savannah and Charlie, and we had sooo much fun at Minnehaha Falls!

Charlie and Savannah are about the same age, and were skeptical at first about our session.  We got to know each other a bit, and after about ten minutes, they were down for anything.  After a few classic photos, I pulled them to the side to ask them a favor.  I told them when I yell, “Bangarang,” they would have to run and hug their parents, and several “Bangarangs” later, they were pros.   They were a joy to work it, so energetic and excited to be at Minnehaha Falls.

We made our way down to the waterfall, which was flowing thanks to the rain the days before.  After a few photos and moments to enjoy this beauty of nature, we made our way back up and ended our session in a garden.

I’m so happy for this family!   Pat and Christine are so kind, and they did a great job raising their children.  Come October, they will make their new family official, and I can’t wait for their wedding day!

Still here?  Do you want to see more shoots from Minnehaha Falls?  Check out the links below.

Review: Grief: The Great Yearning

I’ve written four novels, all published by Second Wind Publishing, and although I thought the subject matter of each book important enough to spend a year of my life writing and another year editing (to say nothing of the years on the arduous road to publication), I have a hard time telling people the novels are important.

The basic theme of all my novels is conspiracy, focusing on the horrors ordinary citizens have been subjected to by those in power. Most people who have read the books seem to like them (though a few who didn’t like them seemed befuddled by what I was trying to accomplish). Light Bringer in particular seems to arouse a difference of opinion. Written to be the granddaddy of all conspiracy theories, Light Bringer traces the push toward a one-world government back 12,000 years. Based on myths, both modern conspiracy myths and ancient cosmology myths, Light Bringer is a thriller, or mythic fiction perhaps (if there is such a thing). I never intended it to be science fiction since the science is gleaned from ancient records rather than futuristic imaginings, but that is how it is perceived. Still, despite the scope of the book, despite it being my magnum opus and the result of twenty years of research, I can’t in all honesty say it is important to anyone except me. It probably won’t change anyone’s life or anyone’s thinking. For the most part, we bring to books what we believe, and so those who believe in conspiracies see the importance of my novels, while those who don’t have even a smattering of belief that there are machinations we are not privy to might even think them far-fetched.

GriefOn the other hand, Grief: The Great Yearning is an important book. It is composed of journal entries, blog posts, and letters to my dead life mate/soul mate, all pieces written while I was trying to deal with the unbearable tsunami of emotions, hormones, physical symptoms, psychological and spiritual torments, identity crisis and the thousand other occurrences we lump under the heading “grief.” Because of this, the emotion in Grief: The Great Yearing is immediate, the experience palpable. This is a comfort to those having to deal with a grievous loss because they can see they are not alone. (One of the side effects of grief is a horrendous feeling of isolation.) They can see that whatever they feel, others have felt, and that whatever seemingly crazy thing they do to bring themselves comfort, others have done.

This book is also important for the families of someone who has suffered a grievous loss. Too often the bereft are told to move on, get over it, perhaps because their families don’t understand what it is the survivor has to deal with. Well, now they can get a glimpse into grief and ideally, be more patient and considerate of their bereft loved ones.

This book is especially important for writers. I’ve mostly given up reading for now because of the unrealness I keep coming across in fiction. So many novels are steeped in death, with bodies piling up like cordwood, yet no one grieves. The surviving spouses think as clearly as they did before the death. They have no magical thinking, holding two disparate thoughts in their minds at once. (For example: I know he will never need his eyeglasses, but I can’t throw them away because how will he see without them?) The characters have no physical symptoms or bouts of tears that are beyond their control. There is no great yearning to see the dead once more (and this yearning is what drives our grief, not the so-called stages). In other words, we are continually conditioned to downplay the very real presence of grief in our lives. If we don’t see people grieve in real life, in movies, in books, where are we to get a blueprint for grief?

As Leesa Healy, Consultant in Emotional-Mental Health wrote, “If people were to ask me for an example of how grief can be faced in order for the healthiest outcome, I would refer them to Grief: The Great Yearning, which should be the grief process bible. Pat Bertram’s willingness to confront grief head on combined with her openness to change is the epitome of good mental health.”

So, yes, Grief the Great Yearning is important, and it’s good to have a chance to spread my message: It is okay to grieve. It is important to grieve. And as impossible as it is to imagine now, you will survive.

But I spoke nevertheless and as my father went through job after job I went through book after book, reading out loud in class and quickly climbing to the top of ESL.

But to my father, the insults were magnified by the fact that he could not provide for us simply because the eloquent English he spoke was difficult for some to understand.To others, to myself, to my Barbies, to anyone that would listen.But my garbled Franco-English proved a big hurdle in speaking as no one could understand me and rarely anyone bothered to try.I am thankful to have my eyes opened to injustice, knowing that I must now fight it forever.I recall that little girl whose main goal was to talk.
