The Kalicki Project:  Aluminum Fence - Waterford

We were extremely pleased with every aspect of business done with Paramount Fencing from the first meeting to the final gate adjustment. Kip was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of describing the options. He even gave us hints to make working with the HOA ARB problem free.  He worked hard to get the job done at a price we were comfortable with.  Work began on the day promised and the workers arrived on time and were friendly and respectful.  Hardest working guys I've ever seen. The fence looks beautiful and we are so pleased, Spending money these days is not something we take lightly so it means a lot we you feel  that you have paid for and received quality.

The Hume Project:  Wood Fence - Lake Mary.

I have to say first of all that I have never given an good rating across the board to any company.  There are always little things that would cause the rating to go down at least in one category.  This company is truly the exception.

Kip and his crew did an excellent job.  They exceeded my expectations with the quality of materials and timely completion of the job.   Yes, I spent more than the other quote I received, but Kip knew what he was doing and built me a quality fence.  The wood is thicker than other fences, it was done board-on-board, and they put the posts 4 feet into the ground.

This fence should last a good 20 years or more.  Dividing the cost by 20 years is approximately $210 per year.

The other quote I got was $3,500, and it would have been a standard wood fence, not board-on-board, with the posts into the ground the minimum number of feet required by the County.   A fence like that would probably last 10 - 15 years, like my last one.    Dividing that cost by 10 years is $350 per year, dividing it by 15 years is $233 per year.   So even though it cost me more initially to have Paramount make this fence, this fence is actually LESS EXPENSIVE than the other quotes I received.  And it's a much nicer-looking fence, too.

I would not hesitate to recommend Paramount Fencing.

The Hamilton Project:  Vinyl Fence - Minneola

Excellent. I contacted them since I was in need of getting my gates repaired. Kip offered to give me the coupon that had recently been on Angie's List which would save me some money. They went out and looked at my gates and quoted me a higher price due to the amount of work that was needed. Kip authorized a lower price that we agreed on and the work was done the next day. They always followed up and kept in touch with me. It was an excellent experience!

The Farley Project:  Custom Fence - Orlando

This was a love hate job. I loved not having a fence for the view, but needed one for the dog. I priced both PVC vs wood with four contractors. Seven if you add the ones who either didn't show up or would only work over the internet and would not come out to see the job. I felt best working with Kip, he walked the job, and after he got the job, showed up with the installer and went over it again. The installer was an excellent carpenter and made us a first class fence out of first class materials. Thank you Kip. Great job. Very hands on.

The Farley Project:  Aluminum Fence - Lake Mary

Kip and his crew did an exceptional job on our fence!! From start to finish I knew we had picked the right person for this job! Everyone was so courteous and the fence looks awesome!! We had interviewed other contractors for the job but decided to go with Kip because of his reviews on Angie's list and after meeting with him in person! If your looking for a top quality company to install a fence, look no further!! Paramount Fencing is the Company for you!!!

The Vaughan Project: Vinyl Fence - Orlando

Every once in a while you come away from an experience knowing that it was the best possible choice, this was one of those. I almost did not solicit a bid from them because they were not listed with the Better Business Bureau but the comments on Angie's list were so overwhelming that I obtained a bid from them as well as two other fencing companies. Their bid was not the lowest but I believe based upon the material and the care that went into the job it was the cheapest. They kept me well informed every step of the way, their employees were well mannered and worked well with my lawn people and my neighbors. Without solicitation a Notarized Notice of Termination of Notice of Commencement , including a statement that all lienors had been paid. This was truly a pleasant experience.

The Brown Project:  Wood Fence - Oviedo

Outstanding job. Options were thoroughly explained and discussed, workers were knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. Job was started on time and finished sooner than quoted. finished product is lovely. On time and on budget - WOW! Owner oversaw the job and was available to answer questions whenever we needed him. A month after the job was completed we asked his advice on sealants and paints and he gave such a detailed answer that we were able to purchase the exact product we wanted. Company does not take any money up front - you pay when the job is completed and you are satisfied with the results.

The Vennette Project:  Custom Fence - Lake Mary

It was a pleasure to work with Paramount Fencing from start to finish. When the estimate was given, they knew I would be obtaining other estimates and gave me a number of questions I should ask to ensure the fence was being built properly, i.e. number of boards per foot, type of screws used, etc. Paramount 's bid was in the same ballpark as the others, but the level of detail provided with the estimate and the thoroughness of the presentation easily convinced me that this was the company I wanted to do the job. When they took the measurements, I was informed that the old fence had not been installed along the property line and I gained 2' of additional yard along with the new fence. Prior to starting, Paramount wrote the neighbors a letter to let them know what was happening. Permits were pulled and the installation crew arrived early and worked steadily. The fence was finished in 2 days and the gates are fantastic -- the way they are built and the hardware used ensures they will not sag. Kip, the owner, takes pride in his company and really knows his stuff. I have had plumbers, roofers, etc. on the property since the fence installation and every one has commented on the quality and looks of this installation.

The Ocio Project:   Wood Fence - Clermont

When our son and his family bought a house on a large lot in Clermont, Fl., they were thrilled and we were so happy for them. Until we found out the back yard was not fenced. They have two young children and we were so worried that they would be unsafe without constant adult supervision. We live in Las Vegas , Nv . The whole deal was done on our cells, without a hitch. Our son was oblivious of the cost, but he and his wife got to choose the fencing they wanted. There was a last minute addition to cover another window. Other than that, my husband and I just wanted it done before our visit on 3/23/10. It was finished about 2 days before. We weren't there during the construction, but our son's family had nothing but good things to say about the guys that did the work. And the fence is absolutely beautiful! The kids love it and they are safe. Mom and Dad let them go out to play any time, unless it's raining hard. You should really check out the photos. Look at the tops and bottoms of the sections. They are perfectly even, even on the ups and downs of the big back yard! Thanks Kip.

The Baker Project: Custom Fence - Maitland

They provided a fence around our entire yard with some extra details. There was a window into some shared space with our neighbors.
They were prompt and came back to make adjustments after it was in place, very professional.

The Elliot Project:  Wood Fence - Longwood

Kip was professional. He broke the estimate down into various options. He explained the process very well. He and his crew showed up when they said they would. They completed the work on time, with attention to detail, and cleaned up after themselves.

The Staneart Project:  Vinyl Fence - Clermont

Absolutely wonderful...A friend had referred us and we researched on Angie's list, and he totally lives up to the hype that you read. He really has a great design aesthetic but with a foundational understanding of workmanship, kind of like an engineering mindset. It was a great combination...we told him what we wanted and then through each step, he offered suggestions and alternatives that really enhanced the project. He was very patient with my questions and very responsive to any contact. When the job started, he sent an update everyday, stayed in touch, worked with the neighbors, etc. When we ran into an issue with the property line, he worked with us to determine a solution that we were comfortable with. We feel like he really went the extra mile with every decision and every extra touch that he put into it. Something as simple as, on the gate, he thought about that we would drive out of it every morning and see this wire against our pretty white fence so, he took extra time to paint the wire white so it would blend better. I mean, that's pretty detailed...putting a spring on the gate so it closes on its own (so that the dogs can't get out) but adding a hook latch so we could hold it open and it still look nice if we needed to. He was very innovative on how he combined the wire and the vinyl, something I had never seen but it looks great! His team was very professional, cleaned up every day, seemed to enjoy the work (and maybe the challenges we presented:)) and did a great job! There were a couple of places they hit a line, they fixed it before we even knew it had happened. Also, there was no money up front, even though we offered to put a deposit down since it was such a large project. He said that he prefers not to do that, he believes in getting paid when we have inspected the work and are happy. When it was complete, he met us there and walked the entire fence line (remember its an acre) showing us all the nuances about the fence, decisions that they had made to combat a line or whatever, and when we were done and happy was when he was ready to take payment. He is hands down, the best contractor/service provider I have worked with ever. We look like we have a horse farm and it is exactly what we envisioned. I would highly, highly recommend Kip and his company. We had another estimate that came in a less but there was no contribution to the design, no alternatives, etc. Just very cut and dry. We, despite being very conservative, made a conscious decision to pay the extra because we just felt the benefits we gained would far outweigh the difference. It wasn't a huge difference in price but the difference in what we got for the money is immeasurable. We are very conservative spenders, VERY conservative, spending this amount of money on a fence is a huge investment...but NO regrets at all. The quality is there and it was a great experience. We would pick Kip again, every time. I recommend you do too, it will be worth it.

The Durante Project: Wood Fence - Orlando

They built the fence on-sight. The owner and employees were professional, courteous, and did a beautiful job. They obtained a permit, and submitted a form to the Home Owners Assoc., tore down the original fence, disposed of it, trimmed any bushes that obstructed the building of the new fence, and when finished, they cleaned up beautifully. The work was finished in 2 days, and this was a big fence! They moved the footprint of the fence to be more visually pleasing and put in 2 gates with hardware. This fence is strong and beautiful and the gates are great! I would recommend this company to anyone and use them again - the problem is this fence will last the rest of my life!

The Russell Project:  Custom Fence - Orlando

It was a pleasure to work with this company from start to finish. On first meeting, the owner discussed all options in detail so that I could make an informed decision. He pulled all of the paperwork, etc..., and even took the step of contacting my neighbors to let them know of the upcoming construction. They located my property survey markers to verify the construction plans. This company takes care of every detail, which makes the process very easy. The fence itself is exactly what I wanted. Not only is it beautiful, but it's built to last. Very sturdy construction. The workers take great pride in their profession, and it shows.

The Chernow Project:   Aluminum Fence - Lake Mary

Kip and his crew did a great job. From the estimate to the wrap-up, the team did a quality job and was very professional. Kip helped me make the right choice of materials and I couldn't be happier with the job. In every case, Kip went well above and beyond what was expected. His follow-up care is nothing short of amazing. I can highly recommend him without hesitation.

The Warnick Project:  Custom Fence - College Park

Kip was right on time for our appointment and was very thorough and professional with his estimating process. His invoice was laid out to be easily understood and listed every board, nail and screw by size and quantity. He also wanted no money up front which is always a sign of a reputable organization. The job was done right and done exceptionally well, custom built on site with no preassembled wood panels or gates. The only lag time (about 3 weeks) issue was because of the steel fencing having to be made specifically for the job. I highly recommend Paramount Fencing.

The Coster Project:  Vinyl Fence - Windermere

Prior to the installation, Kip secured the permit and mailed out notices to all the adjoining neighbors letting them know we would be installing a fence adjacent to their property. The installation began on time with the arrival of Paramount 's crew and the fencing materials. They were able to locate all survey pins to ensure the fence would not be encroaching on neighboring property. The workers were very friendly and professional and contacted me several times during the installation when they had questions that needed answering. On the first day of installation they ran into a problem. A neighbor's sprinkler head was installed on the property where the fence was to go and construction had to be shifted to another area until the development builder could get the sprinkler moved. After the sprinkler was moved, the same neighbor's swimming pool pump lines extended over the location where a post was to be installed. The work crew notified Kip and Kip drove to the manufacturer's site in Cocoa , FL to pick up longer rails to bridge the pump lines and they were installed the same day. The work crew installed a great looking, even fence and finished on time even though they had to overcome these two obstacles. By mentioning Angie's List I got an upgrade to the fencing caps.

The Feidelman Project:  Wood Fence - Winter Springs

The job went very well. Kip scheduled an appointment shortly after I called him. He came out to give me an estimate as well as explain what was included. He went to great lengths to make sure that the fence was on my property line. He took care of applying for and obtaining the permit. He sent letters to my neighbors advising them that I was putting in a new fence and asking them if they had any concerns or questions. He worked things out so that I and my neighbors were satisfied. He then had the product delivered to the house and began work the same day. He and his workmen built the fence in a professional manner and were very courteous and helpful with questions as they arose. After the fence was erected and the gates installed, Kip and I walked the fence line to make sure everything was satisfactory.

The Rawls Project:  Vinyl Fence - Winter Park

Kip came out to look at the site and brought a catalog of fencing materials. He promptly e-mailed me estimates for 3 different models of PVC fencing. Once I obtained HOA approval, Heidi came out to my workplace and picked up the rest of my paperwork, which I greatly appreciated. My neighbor had some decorative plants that were growing on the fence that he wanted to remove prior to demolition of the old fence. We were able to delay a few days to accommodate my neighbor (again, much appreciated). The fence removal took a little longer than anticipated, but that was due to extra screws used in the old fence. Construction went very smoothly. The crew did an excellent job through and through. I'm very pleased with my new fence.

The Glaros Project:  Aluminum Fence - Ocoee

The appointment for the estimate was made very quickly after my phone call. Kip came to the house and was very informative and personable. He explained in detail the different grades of aluminum and what needed to be done about the permitting process, and we went over various options for the fence. We decided to remove the old fencing completely because it was a cheaper grade and only 4 ft. high, and we had decided on the 5 ft. height. Kip took care of the permitting while we got our Homeowners Association approval, which took about 2 weeks. On the day of installation, Kip came out with two of his workers to oversee the beginning of the job, then he left. His workers were very meticulous about lining everything up properly and fitting everything together perfectly. They were there from 9 am to about 6:45 pm and did a fantastic job. They cleaned up after themselves, too, even taking the hose and washing down part of the fence that had gotten dirty.

An added bonus was that the manufacturing company had mistakenly sent one 4 ft. wide gate and one 6 ft. wide gate, which is very expensive, at no extra cost to us. We had the choice of waiting a couple more days if we still wanted both gates to be 5 ft., but we went with what they sent. The 6 ft. gate will make it even easier for our lawn service to get the mower in.

The Libbe Project:  Wood Fence - Casselberry

From start to finish, Paramount Fencing was an excellent contractor. We started out with having Kip, the owner, come out to measure the property and spend approximately 45 minutes with us discussing how they build fences, what the process will entail and covering all details about the job. Paramount actually builds fences on site so that it better matches the contour of your yard and is better constructed than the prefab panels that are typically used. After the yard survey and discussion, we had the proposal in about 24 hours. Once we signed the proposal, we had our fence in about 2 weeks. Paramount requires no deposit up front, and you don't pay until the job is done and you have a final walk through of the job with Kip. The installation crew was courteous and very professional. They took great strides to clean up afterwards and to minimize the intrusion to our neighbor's yards. Kip kept us posted daily on the status of the job, any issues that came up and when they would be finished. There was even a problem with delivery of materials from the supplier that was identified around 5:00pm on the first day which was subsequently corrected and new materials delivered by 8:00am the next morning. While this did not delay our job at all, Kip apologized for the inconvenience and went out of his way to correct it. Most contractors would have used the substandard material that was delivered and not said a word. Paramount doesn't operate that way. Paramount exhibits the kind of customer service and satisfaction that should be done with all contractors. While the price of the job was slightly more than we wanted to spend, we are very pleased with the job. The extra money was well spent considering the quality of the materials, quality of the workmanship and the courtesy and customer service of the company.

The Pollock Project:  Wood Fence - Casselberry

I learned a great deal from the company website and from conversations with Mr. Kozlowski about the differences between custom built fencing and prefab fence panels. We spent about half an hour face to face discussing the work his company does, and at no time did I feel any sales pressure. Custom built fences are more expensive than prefab, but the advantages outweigh the extra cost. The estimate was detailed, we were scheduled at our convenience and the work went smoothly. I notice other peoples' fences now, and I can tell the difference between custom and prefab. Our neighbor's prefab fence is already popping its slats and it's less than a year old! I would definitely use Paramount Fencing in the future..

The Morris ProjectCustom Fence - Sanford

From the estimation to the completion of the job they were wonderful! Kip is extremely knowledgeable with regard to current building code. The company handled permitting as well as marking the underground utilities. This company is one of the best companies I have hired to do work. They performed as promised and even went above and beyond to make sure that I was a satisfied customer. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality fence at a reasonable price.

The Elich Projects:  Vinyl Fence - Windermere

called Paramount and spoke with Kip, the owner. We set up an appointment for him to come to our house 2 days later. He showed up with plenty of catalogs and ideas from what we talked about on the phone. He understood what we were looking for and the unique challenges our land offered and offered solutions that worked in our budget. Once we decided on a Fence, he helped us prepare the paperwork for our HOA and he took care of all the permitting from the county. He even contacted our neighbors and told them what type of fence we were installing and asked if they would like to split the cost. The installation went flawlessly. The day of the installation we could not be home but he was able to proceed without us there. We came home that night to see our beautiful new fence ready to use. He was even able to dig out a little bit around the gate (as the ground was on a slope) so we could get full swing opening. We paid with a credit card and there were a few problems with the credit card machine (it charged us multiple times) but I contacted him and he had the problem sorted out and the overcharges refunded within two hours. Kip is great with communication and keeping you in the loop with the entire process and what needed to be done. I would use this company for any of my fencing needs in the future.

Mr. Zimmerman:  Wood Fence - Orlando

Great! My original contact person left the company but the switch to the new contact (Kip, the owner) was seamless. The work was done in 3 days time and clean up was great. I had issues with 2 neighbors and Kip took care of all communication with them so that I didn't have to. One neighbor in particular sent a statement that all debris and damage to their property or vegetation would be paid for by me, so Paramount photographed the property before and after to avoid any false accusations. The fence looks absolutely great and I never thought it would make such a difference in my yard! Sure they were more expensive than others but well worth the cost IMHO!!

Our mission is guiding people to life change in Christ.

1. Driven by God's Agenda

We believe that faith empowered by prayer connects us to the heart of God and is the catalyst to accomplishing the will of God.

Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (NKJV)

2. Fueled by God's Word

We believe God's Word has the answer to all of life's questions, and therefore, we surrender willingly to its timeless truths.

2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (NKJV)

3. Consumed by God's Heart

We believe that engaging with God in passionate worship leads to a public expression of our private experiences.

Romans 12:1 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. (NIV)

4. Drenched by God's Grace

We believe that grace is the outpouring of God's unconditional love that flows to us and through us to others.

2 Corinthians 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. (NKJV)

5. Compelled by God's Love

We believe that, because people matter to God, we will move with radical abandonment to reach our neighbors and the nations.

Acts 1:8 - But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (NKJV)

6. Connected with God's People

We believe that life change happens best in the context of community. We will actively pursue relationships in which we grow and serve together.

Acts 2:46-47 - Continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. (NKJV)

Ayutthaya drains flood; holds ‘Big Cleaning Day’ for Bang Pa-In Industrial Estate

AYUTTHAYA, Nov 21 – Thailand’s historic central province of Ayutthaya, heavily hit in the recent floods, is holding a 'Big Cleaning Day' for the Bang Pa-In Industrial Estate after floodwaters have drained, according to Ayutthaya governor Wittaya Phewpong.
Centara Grand Advertise Here

Mr Wittaya said that holding the Bang Pa-In cleaning day is to show the readiness of the authorities to rehabilitate the estate and restore foreign investor confidence.

Bang Pa-In Industrial Estate is one of seven industrial estates and parks in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani including Saha Rattana Nakhon, Rojana, Hi-Tech, Factory Land, Nava Nakorn and Bangkadi that were forced to close due to the deep floodwater.
Mr Wittaya said that the Labour, Industry, and Public Health Ministries cooperated to revive Bang Pa-In Industrial Estate in accordance with its 58 day-rehabilitation plan, from Oct 20-Dec 16.

The plan includes draining floodwater, reducing the water level by 50 per cent to pave the way for factory owners to repair plants damaged by the flood, he said.

It was expected that the factories could resume running their production lines and workers return to their duties by Dec 16, he said, adding that some 60-70 factories of the estate’s 90 factories could resume operations.

Meanwhile, at Rojana Industrial Estate, also in Ayutthaya, powerful water pumps with 24,000 cubic metres per day capacity operated round-the-clock for nine days and lowered 2.50 metre floodwater in Phase 1 Zone 1 to 40cm.

With assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) which provided 10 pump vehicles, it was expected that the mission to revive all three phases of the Rojana estate could be completed earlier than planned as it could be dry by next week.

What to Expect

When We Work Together

Expect a paradigm shift. If you’re not happy with your practice and your life, expect to discover new possibilities. If you feel stuck, expect to have your assumptions challenged, as a client expressed, “The biggest change is getting out of my comfort zone. I am speaking to people I normally would not speak to and going to events I normally would not attend.”

We will begin the coaching journey with a half-day one-on-one Intensive that sets the trajectory for our sessions. It’s an experience that is uniquely yours, there are no preconceived notions, nothing is off limits, and there is absolutely no judgment. This is a safe space to evolve your legal practice into a thriving business: A practice that reflects your personal values – and one that fuels the life you want to live instead of getting in the way.

In this safe space you will confront your current belief system, your habits and your frustrations. During our meetings you will be challenged and inspired. You will define goals and confront obstacles. We will do all this together.

A Change of Perspective

Expect to get out of your own head. Law school prepared you to know the law and serve your clients. But it didn’t prepare you to build a thriving practice that supports your personal or your family goals… did it? I’ll help you to discover a new perspective… and learn how to build a law practice that works in synergy with the rest of your life. I’ll ask questions that will challenge you as we uncover the real issues that are holding you back. As my client attests, “Her honesty and authenticity bring me comfort and make me feel like I have the power to create my own future.”

Your Confidant, Business Consultant, Team Member and Cheerleader

You’re not alone. My personal and professional resources become part of your network. I am available to answer your questions and address your challenges. This will give you the clarity and confidence to forge through the challenges and achieve your goals. “Paula showed me that I could be the change maker, and I had the power – she was right,” a client points out.

I’ll guide you through the challenges that arise. Here, business is also personal. When your professional life is infringing – or in some cases devouring – your personal life, I will help you make sense of the chaos. It’s not about forcing the kind of balance that means all things are equal, it’s about giving each aspect of your life the time it deserves – the time you want to give it in order to have the business and the life you truly want. A client points out, “She helped clarify what my true priorities are.”

I will be a connector, a problem-solver and a motivator. There is no throwing your hands up in the air and deciding to just give up. You won’t – I won’t let you! I will believe in you until you believe in you.

Expect to be asked to reach out, follow up, speak up and make a plan. I will guide you through those things that are beyond your comfort zone and address the parts of your thinking that are holding you back. So you can live life on your terms.

Together, we will evolve your thinking and build a thriving practice that exists in harmony with the rest of your life.

Would you like to…

  1. Get past the feeling of being overwhelmed and focus on what will really makes a difference in your life.
  2. Make a name for yourself practicing in the area of the law you love, not just taking cases because your partners hand you a file or you need the money.
  3. Reduce the stress you feel when you think about developing clients.
  4. Maximize the opportunity for exposure as President or Committee Chair of a Bar or Trade Association … even when you’re not sure where to even begin.
  5. Identify your ideal clients and figure out how to reach them.
  6. Build a team to support you and your clients that will give you more time to focus on what is most important to you.
  7. Get organized and be more productive every day.
  8. Figure out what will increase your credibility and visibility, which you presently feel is the best kept secret in town.
  9. Spend more time with your family before they forget what you look like.
  10. Learn how to build relationships that matter and grow your practice.
  11. Get help to run your business and understand your financials.
  12. Create a marketing plan that is realistic and that fits your budget and time constraints.
  13. Get another perspective on challenging issues that arise with clients, colleagues and staff.
  14. Get rid of the stress you feel on Sunday just thinking about the week ahead.
  15. Feel a sense of satisfaction when you leave the office rather than the sense you will never be able to outrun the avalanche.

If you want one or more of these, let’s talk. I can help you create a plan, overcome the obstacles, and make these desires a reality.

Feds Seize $3.6 Million in Bitcoins in Silk Road Closure

by Mercator Advisory Group 0

Earlier this week, the first demonstration of a Near Field Communication (NFC) debit transaction occurred involving Interac Flash, the Canadian debit network’s contactless-payment application. Partners from merchant McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada, financial institution RBC Royal Bank and payments facilitator Moneris Solutions were involved in the demonstration, which occurred using a BlackBerry smartphone at a McDonald’s restaurant and showed how the service can pay for menu items securely and immediately using funds debited directly from a bank account.

Interac Flash uses EMV technology and the country’s existing chip-debit infrastructure.

From a press release on the Canadian News Wire:

“This free mobile debit option will benefit both our clients and our merchants. RBC clients will be able to use their mobile devices to make debit payments when and where they wish to make them, and then to immediately check their online bank balance from those same devices. We know merchants want fast, secure and low-cost transactions, and that is exactly what Interac Flash helps ensure,” said Dave McKay, RBC Royal Bank group head, personal and commercial banking.

The demonstration illustrates how banks can leverage a card network’s NFC payments platform in their mobile wallet, and how merchants can benefit from instant payments at the point of sale made possible through direct debits from users’ bank accounts. In time, consumer trust in their financial institution and payment network increasingly will play a role in which wallets prevail. First, though, more financial institutions must make POS payments an option in their mobile-banking application to fend off startups venturing into mobile payments and to make their competitive advantage work for them. Too few have yet to take the plunge, but that will change in the next 18 to 24 months across North America.

On This Day in Math - May 23

 (a symbol) We can repudiate completely and
which we can abandon without regret
because one does not know
what this pretended sign signifies
nor what sense one ought to attribute to it.

Cauchy in 1847 in regard to the square root of negative one..

The 143rd day of the year; there are 143 three-digit primes.

Also, 1432 is a divisor of 143143.HT to Matt McIrvin who found the pattern for numbers such that n^2 divides n.n (where the dot represents concatenation) and then found it is at OEIS

100^143 - 143 is prime. Note that 143 is the second number with this property. What's the first?

1221 "On the first day of the fifth month (May 23), at noon, the Sun was eclipsed and it was total. All the stars were therefore seen. A short while later the brightness returned. At that time we were on the southern bank of the river. The eclipse (began) at the south-west and (the Sun) reappeared from the north-east. At that place it is cool in the morning and warm in the evening; there are many yellow flowers among the grass. The river flows to the north-east. On both banks there are many tall willows. The Mongols use them to make their tents. [Later] (Ch'ang-ch'un) asked (an astronomer) about the solar eclipse on the first day of the month
(May 23). The man replied: 'Here the Sun was eclipsed up to 7 fen (6/10) at the hour of ch'en (7-9 h)'. The Master continued, 'When we were by the Lu-chu Ho (Kerulen River), during the hour wu (11-13 h) the Sun was seen totally eclipsed and also south-west of Chin-shan the people there said that the eclipse occurred at the hour szu (9-11 h) and reached 7 fen. At each of these three places it was seen differently. According to the commentary on the ch'un-ch'iu by K'ung Ying-ta, when the body (of the Moon) covers the Sun, then there will be a solar eclipse. Now I presume that we must have been directly beneath it; hence we observed the eclipse to be total. On the other hand, those people on the sides (of the shadow) were further away and hence (their view) gradually became different. This is similar to screening a lamp with a fan. In the shadow of the fan there is no light or brightness. Further away from the sides (of the fan) then the light of the lamp gradually becomes greater." Refers to a total solar eclipse of 23 May 1221. From: Ch'ang-ch'un Chen-jen Tao-ts'ang('The Journey of the Adept Ch'ang-ch'un to the West'). *NASA Eclipse Calendar

1576 Brahe is given use of the island of Hveen for an observatory. [Wadsworth] *VFR

1771 Benjamin Franklin visits Joseph Priestley at his home in Leeds just after he begins experimenting with placing mint under a glass to see how long it took to die. Priestly had put insects, small animals, candles etc under glass to measure the time it took to use up the "life force" in the air. To his surprise, the mint flourished in his pneumatic trough. Eventually he would realize that the "spent" air could be rejuvenated by placing a living plant inside the glass. *Steven Johnson, The Invention of Air

1785, a letter from Benjamin Franklin documented his invention of his new bifocal glasses. He was writing from France to a friend describing the solution to carrying around two pairs of glasses to see objects at different distances, with the comment that "I have only to move my eyes up and down as I want to see far or near." Franklin incorporated a two part lens for each eye, each parts having a different focussing power. The invention had limited acceptance at a time when even ordinary spectacles in the colonies already cost as much as $100 per pair. *TIS

1825, the electromagnet in a practical form was first exhibited by its inventor, William Sturgeon, on the occasion of reading a paper, recorded in the Transactions of the Society of Arts for 1825 (Vol xliii, p.38). The publication showed pictures of his set of improved apparatus for electromagnetic experiments, including two electromagnets, one of horse-shoe shape and one  a straight bar. The formed was bent from a rod about 1 foot (30 cm) long and one-half inch (1.3 cm) in diameter, varnished for insulation, then coiled with a single spiral of 18 turns of stout copper wire. In return for the Society's medal and premium, Sturgeon deposited the apparatus in the museum of the Society. Sadly, this was lost after the society's museum was dispersed. *TIS  This would have been the day after his forty-second birthday.  (see May 22)

1933  Max Wasserberg received a patent for a "beach and lawn chair" (U.S. No. 1,911,127). *TIS  Why is this American hero not better known?

1958 Explorer I, the 1st US satellite in orbit, ceases transmission. *David Dickinson @Astroguyz

1994 Java development begins in earnest:
Sun Microsystems Inc. formally announced its new programs, Java and HotJava at the SunWorld '95 convention. Java was described as a programming language that, combined with the HotJava World Wide Web browser, offered the best universal operating system to the online community. The concept behind the programs was to design a programming language whose applications would be available to a user with any kind of operating system, eliminating the problems of translation between Macintoshes, IBM-compatible computers, and Unix machines. *CHM

2014 "Tonight, Tonight, won't be just any night." NASA predicts a never before seen meteor shower. The shower is the May Camelopardalids (a faint constellation near the North Star), caused by dust from periodic comet 209P/LINEAR. No one has ever seen it before, but this year the Camelopardalids could put on a display that rivals the well-known Perseids of August.

"Some forecasters have predicted more than 200 meteors per hour," *science.nasa.gov

1606 Juan Caramuel Y Lobkowitz (May 23, 1606 in Madrid — September 8, 1682 in Vigevano)  His Mathesis biceps of 1670 expounds the general principle of number systems with an arbitrary base b. Caramuel points out that some of these might be of more use than the decimal system. [DSB 3, 61] *VFR
Donald Knuth writes in The Art of Computer Programming Volume 2:- The first published discussion of the binary system was given in a comparatively little-known work by a Spanish bishop, Juan Caramuel Lobkowitz, 'Mathesis biceps' (Campaniae, 1670) pp. 45-48: Caramuel discusses the representation of numbers in radices 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 60 at some length, but gave no examples of arithmetic operations in nondecimal systems (except for the trivial operation of adding unity). He loved puzzles and published a collection containing some that he had composed when he was only ten years old. Mathematical puzzles and games of chance form part of Mathesis biceps (1670). He proposed a new method of trisecting an angle and developed a system of logarithms to base 109 where log 1010 = 0 and log 1 = 10. He was the first to publish log tables in Spanish. Among Caramuel's other scientific work ...a system he developed to determine longitude using the position of the moon. He wrote widely on grammar, linguistics and rhetoric but perhaps his most interesting proposal in this area was to argue for the creation of a universal language. *SAU

1820 James Buchanan Eads (May 23, 1820 – March 8, 1887) was an American engineer who built the two-tier triple-arch steel bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri. At the age of 22, he invented a boat and diving bell which enabled walking on the river bottom. In 12 years' time he made a fortune with his salvage boat operation. During the Civil War, he built ironclad warships. After the war, he built the Mississippi River bridge, the first major bridge to use steel and cantilevered construction, which was opened 4 Jul 1874. Each roughly 500-ft span rested on piers built on bedrock about 100 feet beneath the river bottom. He created a year-round navigation channel for New Orleans scoured out with a system of jetties harnessing the river's water flow (1879)*TIS

1849 Arthur Edwin Haynes,(May 23, 1849;Baldwinsville, Onondaga County, New York, USA - Mar. 12, 1915; Minneapolis, Minnesota) Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Hillsdale College from 1875 until 1890. He came to Michigan in June 1858. They located near the village of Reading in southwestern Hillsdale Co. where the father had a farm.
Arthur received a common school education and remained on the family farm until he reached twenty years of age.
In the fall of 1870, Arthur entered Hillsdale College where he remained, a diligent student, until he was graduated from that institution in June 1875. He taught several terms of district school before graduation and was also employed during his college course as a tutor in mathematics in the college. During the summer between his junior and senior years, he assisted in the erection of the Central College building, in order to earn money to continue his studies. He carried a hod from the first story until the completion of the fourth, shouldering 80 pounds of brick and walking from the bottom to the top of the ladder (20 feet) without touching the hod handle, a feat that he was justly proud of. His classroom at Hillsdale was in that same building.
Immediately following graduation,he married and was appointed instructor in mathematics in Hillsdale College in the fall of 1875, and two years later was elected to the full Professorship. In 1885 he was elected a member of the London Mathematical Society. In 1890 he switched to the University of Minnesota. He wrote a paper on "The Mounting and Use of a Spherical Blackboard." He died in Minneapolis in 1915 and his body was removed back to Hillsdale where he was buried in Oak Grove Cemetary *PB notes

1887 Thoralf Skolem (23 May 1887 – 23 March 1963)  number theorist and logician. At the International Congress of Mathematicians in Cambridge in 1950 he said “We ought not to regard all that is written in the traditional textbooks as something sacred.” It was this attitude that earlier allowed him to discover that the real numbers could have countable models, a fact known as Skolem’s paradox.

1907 Boris A. Kordemsky ( 23 May 1907 – 29 March, 1999) was a Russian mathematician and educator. He is best known for his popular science books and mathematical puzzles. He is the author of over 70 books and popular mathematics articles.
Kordemsky received Ph.D. in education in 1956 and taught mathematics at several Moscow colleges.
He is probably the best-selling author of math puzzle books in the history of the world. Just one of his books, Matematicheskaya Smekalka (or, Mathematical Quick-Wits), sold more than a million copies in the Soviet Union/Russia alone, and it has been translated into many languages. By exciting millions of people in mathematical problems over five decades, he influenced generations of solvers both at home and abroad. *Age of Puzzles, by Will Shortz and Serhiy Grabarchuk (mostly)

1908 John Bardeen (23 May 1908; 30 Jan 1991 at age 82) American physicist who was cowinner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in both 1956 and 1972. He shared the 1956 prize with William B. Shockley and Walter H. Brattain for their joint invention of the transistor. With Leon N. Cooper and John R. Schrieffer he was awarded the 1972 prize for development of the theory of superconductors, usually called the BCS-theory (after the initials of their names). *TIS

1917  Edward Norton Lorenz   (May 23, 1917 - April 16, 2008) American mathematician and meteorologist known for pointing out the "butterfly effect" whereby chaos theory predicts that "slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states." In his 1963 paper in the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, he cited the flapping of a seagull's wings as changing the state of the atmosphere in even such a trivial way can result in huge changes in outcome in weather patterns. Thus very long range weather forecasting becomes almost impossible. He determined this unexpected result in 1961 while running a computer weather simulation that gave wildly different results from even tiny changes in the input data. *TIS

1946 Dr. H. Paul Shuch (May 23, 1946- ) is an American scientist and engineer who has coordinated radio amateurs to help in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Shuch, an aerospace engineer and microwave technologist is believed by colleague Jack Unger to be the creator of the world's first commercial home satellite TV receiver. A visiting professor at Lycoming College and the Heidelberg University of Applied Sciences, Shuch continues to volunteer as the Executive Director Emeritus of The SETI League, Inc. He has taught physics, astronomy, and engineering on various campuses for over three decades.
Shuch is a Vietnam-era Air Force veteran and active instrument flight instructor. He founded Microcomm Consulting in 1975, where in 1978 he designed and produced a commercial home satellite TV receiver.*Wik

1950 Malcolm John Williamson (May 23, 1950 - ) discovered in 1974 what is now known as Diffie-Hellman key exchangeHe was then working at GCHQ.
Williamson studied at Manchester Grammar School, winning first prize in the 1968 British Mathematical Olympiad. He also won a Silver prize at the 1967 International Mathematical Olympiad in Cetinje, Yugoslavia and a Gold prize at the 1968 International Mathematical Olympiad in Moscow. He read mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1971. After a year at Liverpool University, he joined GCHQ, and worked there until 1982.
From 1985 to 1989 Williamson worked at Nicolet Instruments in Madison, Wisconsin where he was the primary author on two digital hearing aid patents. *Wik

1691 Adrien Auzout (28 January 1622 – 23 May 1691) was a French astronomer.
In 1664–1665 he made observations of comets, and argued in favor of their following elliptical or parabolic orbits. (In this he was opposed by his rival Johannes Hevelius.) Adrien was briefly a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences from 1666 to 1668, and a founding member of the French Royal Obseratory. (He may have left the academy due to a dispute.) He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1666. He then left for Italy and spent the next 20 years in that region, finally dying in Rome in 1691. Little is known about his activities during this last period.
Auzout made contributions in telescope observations, including perfecting the use of the micrometer. He made many observations with large aerial telescopes and he is noted for briefly considering the construction of a huge aerial telescope 1,000 feet in length that he would use to observe animals on the Moon. In 1647 he performed an experiment that demonstrated the role of air pressure in function of the mercury barometer. In 1667–68, Adrien and Jean Picard attached a telescopic sight to a 38-inch quadrant, and used it to accurately determine positions on the Earth. The crater Auzout on the Moon is named after him. *Wik

1857 Augustin-Louis Cauchy (21 August 1789 – 23 May 1857)Augustin-Louis Cauchy pioneered the study of analysis, both real and complex, and the theory of permutation groups. He also researched in convergence and divergence of infinite series, differential equations, determinants, probability and mathematical physics.*SAU
A few hours before his death, age 68,  was talking animatedly with the Archbishop of Paris of the charitable works he had in view—for charity was a life long interest of Cauchy. His last words were “Men pass away but their deeds abide.” [Bell, Men of Mathematics, p 293]. *VFR   Cauchy was active in the Saint Vincent de Paul society, Irish relief, and homes for unwed mothers, but he will always be remembered more as the man who refused Abel's paper to the French Academy.

 1889   George Henri Halphen (30 October 1844, Rouen – 23 May 1889, Versailles) was a French mathematician. He did his studies at École Polytechnique (X 1862). He was known for his work in geometry, particularly in enumerative geometry and the singularity theory of algebraic curves, in algebraic geometry. He also worked on invariant theory and projective differential geometry. *Wik

2015 1928 John Forbes Nash, Jr (born June 13, 1928- May 23, 2015) was an American mathematicia whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations have provided insight into the forces that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life. His theories are used in market economics, computing, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, accounting, politics and military theory. Serving as a Senior Research Mathematician at Princeton University during the later part of his life, he shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with game theorists Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi.
Nash is the subject of the Hollywood movie "A Beautiful Mind". The film, loosely based on the biography of the same name, focuses on Nash's mathematical genius and struggle with paranoid schizophrenia *Wik Nash, 86, and his wife Alicia, 82, died in a car crash in a taxi on the New Jersey turnpike on May 23, 2015.

December's One Small Change- Stopping Junk Mail

I am bringing One Small Change back into my blog world.  We have taken steps throughout the year to lessen our carbon footprint but I haven't written about it.  Now every month, I will be writing about the changes we will make each month to make a positive green impact for ourselves and this beautiful earth we live on.  Please check out my blog from last Feb about why I am doing One Small Change or the actual One Small Change Challenge Blog

Oh the grand annoyance of junk mail.  How many times do you open your mailbox and it is full of unsolicited junk mail?  Sometimes you get a bill or an actual letter from someone.  I am sure that everyone would agree that receiving this huge amount of junk mail in our mailbox daily is a nuisance.  On average, an American adult receives 41 pounds of junk mail per year, most of it unwanted.  According to the EPA, over 50% of this unsolicited junk mail ends up in landfill annually.

Here are some pretty shocking statistics:
  • More than 100 million trees are destroyed a year to produce junk mail.
  • The junk mail industry uses 10-24 BILLION gallons of water each year.
  • Creating and shipping junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 9 million cars.
  • You waste about 7-8 months of your life dealing with junk mail.  What a waste of time!
So with the New Year approaching, our family took steps to get rid of this nuisance, not only to help in saving our planet but also to save time and to stay organized.  Here are the steps we took in the month of December to get rid of this grand annoyance!  Please use these steps to get rid of your junk mail as well!

1.  I started with the DMA and this is the first step before anything else! Visiting DMAChoice will help you remove your name to more than 3,600 companies.  They want to help you choose what mailings you receive by customizing your mail preferences.

2.  Pre-Approved credit card offers by far bombard my mailbox more than any other kind of junk mail.  Yuk!  I went to to remove my name from the 3 major credit report companies.

3.  We don't receive magazines at our house but we do receive lots of catalogs. Everything you see in a catalog, you can see online at the companies website and save tons of paper and trees that way.  I contacted the catalog companies personally to stop from receiving their catalog and also went to Catalog Choice.  (This site is similar to but each cover some different areas.)  Catalog Choice helps you find and choose the catalogs you don't want to receive and a BIG helps you with getting rid of phone books!  Phone books being left on my door steps in big plastic bags is seriously one of my biggest pet peeves!

4.  With any other unwanted mail, I have started personally contacting those companies that send me junk mail.  We get lots of unsolicited mail from local insurance companies and they come for both my husband and I.  It creates a lot of junk!  So I personally have started calling each company and eventually I will get to each company!

Well until all these steps start working for me, what can I do with all this junk mail??  Here are a few things I have done in the past and plan to do until the junk mail all goes away:
  • Recycle it!
  • Compost it!  Most paper you can compost.  Avoid the glossy paper and any paper that has any kind of plastic on it.  Put it in the shredder and it is easier to break down in the compost bin.
  • Package it!  If you mail a package or need to store breakables in a box.  Crumble it or shred it for sustainable package material.
  • Craft it!  My son and I can do lot of crafts with unwanted mail and paper!
I am excited that we have done this as a family and welcome everyone else to try this as well.  It will be such a relief to get rid of a huge annoyance and take a step towards a greener planet.

What is your small change?

Peace, Love, & Happiness,

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money." - Cree Indian Proverb

    1. Its a beautiful thing to see people taking action to change the world we live in instead of just bitching about its downfalls.. Attempting to save the world like you are makes you nothing short of a real life hero! Keep that wisdom comin!

    2. this your comment? THANK YOU! Your words are so kind and encouragement for me to keep writing and doing what I am doing. I feel passionate about changing this world in all different aspects. You know this....we have had many talks about it. Thank you for reading!

    3. Thanks for the links! I also hate junk mail and receive sooo much in any given week.

      Over the years we have started implementing many small changes and it really does add up.

      One change we made this year was to stop buying papertowels. I sewed up a simple drawstring bag that I've hung in the kitchen and I put a bunch of rags in it (old holey t-shirts cut up work wonderful) that can be washed and re-used again and again. For napkins I've sewed a bunch of cloth ones that can also be washed and re-used.

    I love to hear your love!

How the Social Justice Movement Fuels Corporate Capitalism, written by Michael Aaron, March 24, 2017

How the Social Justice Movement Fuels Corporate Capitalism

written by Michael Aaron   March 24, 2017

Before diving into a topic I’m sure will prove controversial, I want to start by clarifying that, as my other articles or my book Modern Sexuality can attest, I am very much pro-social justice. This piece is about how social justice has gone off the rails and been co-opted by capitalist or, dare I say, corporatist influences. Secondly, I am not anti-capitalist, in the sense of individuals having free rights to produce whatever product or service the market demands and receiving a fair price in return. Rather, I am opposed to unfettered, corporatist capitalism in which corporations create monopolies and influence politics and culture mainly to serve their business interests.

With that out of the way, let’s go back to the fall of 2008 to examine how the social justice movement lost its way. On September 24, then-President George Bush made a special appearance on TV to warn the American public that the economy was on the verge of collapse. Several weeks prior, investment bank Lehman Brothers had filed for bankruptcy, producing a domino effect and taking the rest of the financial industry down with it. On September 26, just two days after Bush’s live address, Washington Mutual also declared for bankruptcy. A few days later, the stock market collapsed, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 770 points. On October 6, global markets collapsed as well.
From the ashes of this economic catastrophe, the newly elected Obama administration bailed out the banks with tax payer dollars, passed some watered-down regulations that could only scratch the surface of preventing a repeat outcome, and appointed to his cabinet the same Wall St oligarchs who had almost tanked the entire economy. In the end, not a single bank oligarch was prosecuted.

On September 17 2011, a group of activists coalesced in New York’s downtown Zuccotti Park to protest the lack of government and Wall Street accountability. This gathering came to be known as Occupy Wall St and branches subsequently formed in many other metropolitan areas around the world. In this milieu, memes such as “The Ballerina and the Bull” and “We are the 99%” were created. Let’s take a look at the second of these, “We are the 99%.” Notice the key word “We.” This inclusive message finds distinction in only one category—class. For it is only class that separates the 1% from the 99%. Occupy Wall St, initially completely ignored by the media, then gained some early momentum before withering and dying in the following bleak winter months.

Issues such as unfair tax structures, government welfare towards banks and corporations, a lack of protection for the common citizen, and gaps in the social safety net are all social justice issues. But somehow, in the following years, these issues have seemingly disappeared from the public conscience.
Instead, social justice discourse now revolves around ideas of privilege that focus on race, gender, and sexual orientation—in short, everything but class. Is this a coincidence? Somehow an anomaly? Of course, we as a society must address concerns around racial and gender-based discrimination, but is it reasonable to assume that the children of Barack Obama and LeBron James are less privileged than the children of an unemployed white coal miner in West Virginia? Certainly, privilege is intersectional, as an individual may encompass a number of identities. But why no mention of class? When poor and lower-middle class individuals voted for Brexitand Trump, parts of the media responded with accusations of a “white lash.” But why no accusations of a “poor lash,” or “class lash”?

Turn on any mainstream news outlet and you will hear a clear and consistent narrative of a country polarized along racial and gender lines, but almost no mention of the role of class. Instead, the very wealthy 1% in the media, academia, and government (all fields dominated by members of the upper class) are also the most eager to embrace this new version of social justice.

Feminist blogs such as Jezebel have emerged in the years following the 2008 banking collapse
Indeed, a polarized nation is exactly what a corporatist economy wants. It sells clicks online, eyeballs for television advertisers, and enough division and self-hatred to create an entire cadre of willing consumers, seeking to medicate themselves with conspicuous consumption. A message of 99%, on the other hand, is unifying. It creates cohesion, cooperation, and positive validation, and it turns the spotlight on those pulling the strings behind the curtain. But discussion of class privilege is dangerous, and must be curtailed at once. Race and gender privilege, by contrast, are quite safe to the powers that be, as they “Occupy Minds” rather than Wall St.

I’ll go a step further and state that the current version of the social justice movement is mainly a convenient and useful vehicle for our corporatist system. Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, advises women to “lean in”; this is how her book of the same title advises women to succeed in their careers. In her view, feminism is equated with corporate success. But what if some women (or men) don’t want to buy into the corporate system? Feminist Susan Faludi has criticized Sandberg for “encouraging women to promote themselves individually as ‘marketable consumer object[s]’ for professional advancement.” The wage gap is often brought up as a key example of female oppression, but studies show this gap is mainly due to female workplace choices (types of jobs, hours worked, etc) rather than systemic bias. It is telling that a key talking point of gender-based social justice revolves around corporate success.
Feminist Camille Paglia, in her new book Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, Feminism, criticizes the “elitist garbage” and condescending attitudes toward the blue-collar lower class prevalent in academic circles. These academics happily focus on male privilege, even as they snark at those who plow the snow, fix ruptured sanitation pipes, and wash skyscraper windows. Paglia finds no humility or appreciation, let alone any empathy, for individuals doing dangerous jobs that make the lives of the wealthy easier. In the remote world of academic elites, class privilege isn’t considered important.

Best-selling author Nassim Taleb has written in a similar vein about what he calls the “Intellectual Yet Idiot.” These idiot intellectuals are the 1% in the media, academia, and government who advocate for policies that may adversely affect the rest of the country, and do so from a position of comfort and privilege and without having to worry about the consequences. On issues like international trade agreements or immigration policies or crime and discord in urban communities, these modern-day aristocrats have “no skin in the game.” Instead they are happy to denigrate the lower classes as ignorant buffoons—the “basket of deplorables” to which Hillary Clinton infamously referred.
In this way, the 1% has found a very effective strategy to maintain and reinforce its privilege. Intersectional privileges, while important, are secondary to class privilege but they drum up enough internal division to distract from the original goals of the social justice movement. In this way, the 1% is no longer the enemy; they are the friends and benefactors of all downtrodden people around the world. The enemy is other poor and disenfranchised people.

Keep bashing “the system” while blogging on your expensive Apple laptop in Starbucks and continue your social media advocacy on publicly traded Twitter. Meanwhile, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and the elite get a hall pass because they are “woke.” Is it any wonder that the Far Left (and I’m saying this as a liberal) voted en masse for the most corrupt corporatist politician of all time, Hillary Clinton? She said all the right things, who cares if she took $20 million from homophobic, misogynistic countries like Saudi Arabia? I’m not saying Trump is any better, and many of his ideas are truly dangerous, but I don’t believe he would have won if the Democrats hadn’t trotted out a corporatist shill. (What happened to Bernie?)
In many ways, the current Democratic Party is a coalition of two very separate, but now oddly unified forces—social justice and corporatism. As a society, we deserve better than that. We deserve real justice, the kind that is both progressive and unifying. Based on people. Not corporations.

Cooking Light Weekend

I did two recipes this weekend and they both turned out great. The first was Peanut Butter Cup Blondies and this turned out to be amazing. I have always had good luck with the baking recipes I do from this magazine. This one didn't disappoint. It was simple and quick and very worth the time. I'd definitely do it again.

The next recipe was Chicken with Pepperoni-Marinara Sauce and I was very excited to try this one. Most pepperoni is made with a mixture of pork and beef, unless you use the turkey kind, which I don't care for. Since I don't eat red meat it has left pepperoni out of my diet for about three years now and I sure missed it. Until I discovered Applegate Farms pepperoni which is all pork. This stuff is soooo good. Since the recipe doesn't specify what size of pepperoni slices to use and I only had about 6 slices of mine, but it was the larger size, I just used the rest of that and called it all good. I think it had plenty of pepperoni deliciousness too. Make sure you use a really big pan to cook the chicken. I didn't and ended up having to do it in two shifts. This made a fun play on spaghetti sauce that I'd definitely make again as well.

Risk factors for pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with tuberculosis-destroyed lungs and their clinical characteristics compared with patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis; 12: 2433-2443, 2017.
Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: mdl-28860738

There are limited data on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with tuberculosis-destroyed lung (TDL), a sequela of pulmonary tuberculosis. We identified the risk factors for PAH and their effects on acute exacerbation and mortality in patients with TDL, as well as the clinical differences in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and PAH.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2010 through 2015 in a municipal referral hospital in South Korea. PAH was defined when echocardiographic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) was >40 mmHg. The clinical features and course of TDL patients with or without PAH were evaluated and differences between patients with COPD and PAH were analyzed.

Among the 195 patients with TDL, echocardiographic data were available in 53 patients, and their mean PAP was 50.72±23.99 mmHg. The PAH group (n=37) had a smaller lung volume (forced vital capacity % predicted, 51.55% vs 72.37%, <0.001) and more extensively destroyed lungs (3.27 lobes vs 2 lobes, <0.001) than those in the non-PAH group (n=16). A higher PAP was significantly correlated with a higher frequency of acute exacerbation ( =0.32, =0.02). Multivariate analyses did not reveal any significant risk factors contributing to PAH in patients with TDL. Compared to COPD patients with PAH, TDL patients with PAH have smaller lung volume but a less severe airflow limitation. Tricuspid regurgitation and a D-shaped left ventricle during diastole were more frequently observed in TDL patients. The risk of exacerbation was not different between patients with PAH in COPD and TDL.

PAH in patients with TDL was associated with severity of lung destruction but risk of exacerbation and mortality did not significantly differ between patients with PAH and without PAH.

shell.vim - Improved integration between Vim and its environment

This plug-in aims to improve the integration between Vim and its environment (your operating system) by providing the following functionality:

Two Windows DLL files are included to perform these functions on Windows, while on UNIX external commands are used. MacVim supports full-screen out of the box (and vim-shell knows how to enable it) but is otherwise treated as UNIX.

# Installation

Please note that the vim-shell plug-in requires my vim-misc plug-in which is separately distributed.

Unzip the most recent ZIP archives of the vim-shell and vim-misc plug-ins inside your Vim profile directory (usually this is ~/.vim on UNIX and %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles on Windows), restart Vim and execute the command :helptags ~/.vim/doc (use :helptags ~\vimfiles\doc instead on Windows).

If you prefer you can also use Pathogen, Vundle or a similar tool to install & update the vim-shell and vim-misc plug-ins using a local clone of the git repository.

After you’ve installed the plug-in and restarted Vim, the following commands will be available to you:

# Usage (commands & functions)

# The :Maximize command

This command toggles the visibility of Vim’s main menu, tool bar and/or tab line. It’s mapped to <Control-F11> by default, see g:shell_mappings_enabled if you don’t like this. If you want to change which items are hidden see the g:shell_fullscreen_items option.

# The :Fullscreen command

The :Fullscreen command toggles Vim between normal and full-screen mode. It’s mapped to <F11> by default, see g:shell_mappings_enabled if you don’t like this. This command first executes :Maximize and then (if possible) switches Vim’s GUI window to real full-screen mode (hiding any taskbars, panels or docks). When you leave full-screen Vim’s main menu, toolbar and tabline are restored and the GUI window is switched back to normal mode.

Note that on UNIX this command even works inside of graphical terminal emulators like gnome-terminal or xterm (try it out!).

# The :Open command

The :Open command knows how to open files, directories, URLs and e-mail addresses. It’s mapped to <F6> by default, see g:shell_mappings_enabled if you don’t like this. You can provide a filename, URL or e-mail address as argument to the command or if there’s a filename, URL or e-mail address under the text cursor that will be used. If both of those fail, the directory containing the current file will be opened. You can use the command as follows:

This will launch your preferred (or the best available) web browser. Likewise the following command will open your file manager in the directory of Vim’s runtime files:

Note that on UNIX if the environment variable $DISPLAY is empty the plug-in will fall back to a command-line web browser. Because such web browsers are executed in front of Vim you have to quit the web browser to return to Vim.

# The :MakeWithShell command

This command is a very simple replacement for the :make command that does not pop up a console window on Windows. It doesn’t come with all of the bells and whistles that Vim’s built-in make command does but it should work. It properly triggers the QuickFixCmdPre and QuickFixCmdPost events, although it does so using :silent to avoid printing two “No matching autocommands” messages.

Because Vim’s v:shell_error variable is read only (which means it cannot be set by a Vim plug-in) the vim-shell plug-in defines its own variable with the exit code of the make process executed by :MakeWithShell. This variable is called g:xolox#shell#make_exit_code. The semantics are exactly the same as for v:shell_error.

The :MakeWithShell command uses Vim’s quickfix window. To make the shell plug-in use the location-list instead you can use the command :LMakeWithShell instead.

# The xolox#shell#execute_with_dll() function

The function xolox#shell#execute_with_dll() is used by xolox#misc#os#exec() and shouldn’t be called directly; instead please call xolox#misc#os#exec() (this is what my plug-ins do). For this reason the remainder of the following text discusses the xolox#misc#os#exec() function.

This function enables other Vim plug-ins to execute external commands in the background (i.e. asynchronously) without opening a command prompt window on Windows. For example try to execute the following command on Windows (vimrun.exe is only included with Vim for Windows because it isn’t needed on other platforms):

:call xolox#misc#os#exec({'command': 'vimrun', 'async': 1})

Immediately after executing this command Vim will respond to input again because xolox#misc#os#exec() doesn’t wait for the external command to finish when the ‘async’ argument is true (1). In addition no command prompt window will be shown which means vimrun.exe is running completely invisible in the background.

The function returns a dictionary of return values. In asynchronous mode the dictionary is empty. In synchronous mode it contains the following key/value pairs:

:echo xolox#misc#os#exec({'command': 'echo "this is stdout" && echo "this is stderr" >&2 && exit 42', 'check': 0})
{'exit_code': 42, 'stdout': ['this is stdout'], 'stderr': ['this is stderr']}

If you want to verify that this function works as described, execute the command mentioning vimrun above, open the Windows task manager by pressing Control-Shift-Escape and check that the process vimrun.exe is listed in the processes tab. If you don’t see the problem this is solving, try executing vimrun.exe using Vim’s built-in system() function instead:

:call system('vimrun')

Vim will be completely unresponsive until you “press any key to continue” in the command prompt window that’s running vimrun.exe. Of course the system() function should only be used with non-interactive programs (the documentation says as much) but the point is to simulate an external command that takes a while to finish and blocks Vim while doing so.

Note that on Windows this function uses Vim’s ‘shell’ and ‘shellcmdflag’ options to compose the command line passed to the DLL.

# The xolox#shell#fullscreen() function

Call this function to toggle Vim’s full screen status. The :Fullscreen command is just a shorter way to call this function.

# The xolox#shell#is_fullscreen() function

Call this function to determine whether Vim is in full screen mode. My session.vim plug-in uses this to persist full screen mode.

# The g:shell_fullscreen_items option

This variable is a string containing any combination of the following characters:

By default all the above items are hidden in full-screen mode. You can also set the buffer local variable b:shell_fullscreen_items to change these settings for specific buffers.

# The g:shell_fullscreen_always_on_top option

On Windows the :Fullscreen command sets the Vim window to “always on top”. Some people don’t like this which is why this option was added. Its default value is true (1) so to disable the “always on top” feature you would add this to your vimrc script:

:let g:shell_fullscreen_always_on_top = 0

# The g:shell_fullscreen_message option

When you enter full screen the plug-in shows a Vim message explaining how to leave full screen. If you don’t want to see this message you can set this option to false (0).

# The g:shell_mappings_enabled option

If you don’t like the default mappings for the :Open and :Fullscreen commands then add the following to your vimrc script:

:let g:shell_mappings_enabled = 0

Since no mappings will be defined now you can add something like the following to your vimrc script:

:inoremap <Leader>fs <C-o>:Fullscreen<CR>
:nnoremap <Leader>fs :Fullscreen<CR>
:inoremap <Leader>op <C-o>:Open<CR>
:nnoremap <Leader>op :Open<CR>

# The g:shell_verify_urls option

When you use the :Open command or the <F6> mapping to open the URL under the text cursor, the shell plug-in uses a regular expression to guess where the URL starts and ends. This works 99% percent of the time but it can break, because in this process the shell plug-in will strip trailing punctuation characters like dots (because they were likely not intended to be included in the URL).

If you actually deal with URLs that include significant trailing punctuation and your Vim is compiled with Python support you can enable the option g:shell_verify_urls (by setting it to 1 in your vimrc script). When you do this the plug-in will perform an HTTP HEAD request on the URL without stripping trailing punctuation. If the request returns an HTTP status code that indicates some form of success (the status code is at least 200 and less than 400) the URL including trailing punctuation is opened. If the HEAD request fails the plug-in will try again without trailing punctuation.

# The g:shell_use_dll option

If you set this to false (0) the DDL is never used. This is very useful during testing :-).

# Background

Vim has a limited ability to call external libraries using the Vim script function libcall(). A few years ago when I was still using Windows a lot I created a Windows DLL that could be used with libcall() to toggle Vim’s GUI window between regular and full-screen mode. I also added a few other useful functions, e.g. openurl() to launch the default web browser and execute() which works like Vim’s system() function but doesn’t wait for the process to finish and doesn’t show a command prompt.

Since then I switched to Linux and didn’t look back, which meant the DLL sat in my ~/.vim/etc/ waiting to be revived. Now that I’ve published my easytags.vim plug-in and put a lot of effort into making it Windows compatible, the execute() function from the DLL would be very useful to run Exuberant Ctags in the background without stealing Vim’s focus by opening a command prompt window. This is why I’ve decided to release the DLL. Because I switched to Linux I’ve also added an autoload script that wraps the DLL on Windows and calls out to external programs such as wmctrl, gnome-open, kde-open, and others on UNIX.

# Other full-screen implementations

After publishing this plug-in I found that the Vim plug-ins VimTweak and gvimfullscreen_win32 also implement full-screen on Windows using a similar approach as my plug-in. I prefer the effect of my plug-in because it seems to hide window decorations more effectively. Also note that my plug-in was developed independently of the other two.

2012 IMLP New Swim Record

Too funny

Guy swam Ironman Lake Placid in 38 minutes beating professional Andy Potts. Volunteers chased him to tell him he has to swim two laps. They yanked his timing chip at the first bike aid station. This wasn't a mistake
