Renewing the Centre

2017 was the year of the populists and we expect them to make further gains in 2018. Democratic institutions and norms will continue to come under pressure from populist and authoritarian forces, heightening the need for centrists to defend openness, multilateral institutions and democratic solidarity in ways that resonate with alienated and fearful voters.

Hear more of our thoughts on populism via our podcast, “The Brainstorm”.

We hope to see a realisation from centrists that they need to demonstrate how our economies can be reformed to benefit the many, addressing people’s concerns about security and immigration, and showing how domestic political priorities can be reconciled with openness to the rest of the world.

Pressures on mainstream political parties will continue to mount this year and—if the above is not achieved by centrists—we will see larger numbers of people feeling as though they are not represented by these parties.

We expect to see the global economic recovery gain momentum over the course of 2018. However, the forces driving inequality within our economies will persist, meaning that an improvement in wages and living standards is either unlikely to be felt or considered reliable, seeing people’s anxieties about their futures remain high.

An increase in active discussions on immigration measures is something we expect to see, along with governments looking at policies that harness the huge potential of technological change without further aggravating inequality and division within our societies.

Finally, in the pursuit of change, we also hope to see our leaders rekindle the politics of optimism.

Our work in this area is primarily in Africa, where a renewed focus on effective governance is likely to emerge as it becomes clear that the quality of a country’s governance is often what determines whether it succeeds in securing both peace and prosperity. To that end, 2018 sees us expanding our work, supporting political leaders to fulfil their vision for improving lives and livelihoods in 13 African countries.

More widely, we expect African institutions and leaders to continue to exercise a more powerful voice, given the challenges being raised against international institutions and free trade in the West. Within this, we’re expecting to see further reform of the African Union, which will become an increasingly effective bloc in this time of rapid change.

It’s likely that there will be an increased dual focus on how to promote development while addressing security issues, for example in the Sahel. This will include a renewed focus on migration, due to both an increased concern about modern slavery and research challenging the assumed link between improved development and lower migration.

High growth should continue as automation and the fourth industrial revolution take hold, seeing technological innovation both emerging from and being used on the continent. But, at the same time, poverty will remain deep-rooted, and we expect policymakers to make an increasing shift towards inclusive growth as governments come to terms with the jobs gap.

Our paper The Jobs Gap: Making Inclusive Growth Work in Africa provides more thinking on this.

New solutions in revenue and resource mobilisation are also likely this year, with governments looking to gain greater independence from donors. We also expect to see increased attention by nontraditional actors, for example from the Gulf, as well as the continued rise in impact investment.

Finally, as the dust settles on political events in 2017, including those in Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa, we expect a continued debate around the development model countries are pursuing and the tensions (or otherwise) between democracy and development.

Middle East

The ongoing situation in Gaza is expected to be the major issue for the Middle East in 2018. The regional shifts taking place in the area will certainly affect the next steps for the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Wider developments in Palestinian and Israeli politics and the reconciliation process are also likely to be leading the discussion in the Middle East.

Iranian influence in the Middle East is likely to be seen in multiple areas. The security challenges facing the region, particularly the role of Iranian-backed extremist groups are likely to progress in the next 12 months, as we start to see more of these challenges impact developments.

Political developments in the Gulf will almost certainly have an effect on the Middle East as we start to better understand the impact of Saudi Arabia’s new, modernising forces on the region.

2018 will see an increased understanding of the link between ideology and violence. As a result, we expect to see more people in the Middle East challenging the concept of politicising religion in this way, as is already being seen in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. There will also be a greater understanding that this is a global, not a regional, phenomenon.

The jihadi landscape will continue to shift in 2018. After the fall of ISIS’s so-called caliphate last year, we’ll now see a process of evolution and regrouping for ISIS, which will have major implications for jihadi groups globally. Returning foreign fighters are likely to be an issue that will shape the year, as many governments will have to consider the best approaches to deradicalisation. However, as defeating ISIS does not equate to defeating jihadism, the latter will remain an ongoing security challenge this year.

The nature of extremism and terrorism is expected to evolve further throughout 2018. Far-right extremist movements are likely to become more prevalent, while acts of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism could well increase in the year ahead. Escalating conflicts in Africa, including in the Sahel and Somalia, are expected to lead violent groups to turn to Africa for recruits and a safe haven.

The influence of Iranian-backed armed militias is a significant theme for the year ahead as their presence is increasingly felt. 2018 is likely to see the development of additional dimensions of such groups’ presence in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

It’s difficult to understand how some people’s favourite season is not summer. In terms of racing there’s more on offer than at any other time of the year; living in London it’s easily possible to race three times a week if you so wanted, and that’s not to mention time trialling and sportives (if you’re that way inclined). Racing after work is possible because of the longer evenings, and Tuesday night alone there’s the choice of either Hillingdon or Crystal Palace. But for me the only choice is Palace.

I remember in my first year of racing I didn’t stray far from Hillingdon; as a fourth cat your racing options are fairly limited anyway, but I’d heard stories about Palace. About the crazy narrow course. That’s in a public park with dog walkers straying onto the road. The chaos as the various concurrent races mingle and tangle, and all the confusion that ensues. But bored of circling a flat featureless track out by an industrial park at the end of the bordering-on-hostile Uxbridge Road, I gathered my courage and headed one evening instead to south east London… I’d never enjoyed myself so much during a race than during that first taste of Palace – sprinting out of every corner, tentatively getting to grips with the tricky bends. I regretted listening to the nay-sayers and the doom mongers, and for not racing there sooner.

Personally I’m pretty hopeless at Palace, usually happy just to get to the finish with the bunch. But there must be something about it that keeps me coming back for more…

Be alert from the get-go

You can nod your head as wiser racers instruct you to start at the front of the race, but not until you experience it do you realise just how important that advice is. My first time off the starting line I did what I was accustomed to; hang off the back, surveying the scene, checking the lie of the land. But that doesn’t work at Palace, it’s too tight to move up easily, the front of the race so far ahead after just that first hairpin corner, that one moments hesitation at the start can cost you serious wasted energy. It literally took me half the race just to work my way to the front, sprinting past riders dropping off the back of the bunch like stones, and making up as many places as possible on the hill each time. It was a fantastic workout, but not the tactics of a race-winning rider. This mostly applies to the 3/4 race where the field tends to be larger, but hanging off the back of the E/1/2 race is definitely not the place to be if you’re looking to catch your breath or have an easy ride.

Bike handling

After a summer diet of racing at Palace you will notice many benefits to your riding, one of the most obvious will be improved bike handling skills. I’m not a brave racer; I’m small and light, and I don’t crash well. But on such a tight fast circuit you quickly have to get to grips with your limits; how fast you can take a corner and how soon to pedal out of it, how to protect your position in the bunch and to not allow any inviting gaps to open up to the wheel in front, how to turn a 180 degree bend shoulder-to-shoulder and not lose your nerve. Back on the open road these new-found confidences will set you at advantage to those that have shied away places such as Palace and remained within the comforts of non-technical circuits. The places you can make up by taking a faster line through the bends, the improved concentration that will help you stay high up in the bunch with minimal effort. Road racing seems like a breeze once you’ve cut your teeth at Palace.

No easy rides

Of course there should never be any easy races, but pushing your limits is not always easy when there’s the temptation to conserve your energies cruising around in the pack. At Hillingdon the bunch may string out into single file at times, it may become an effort to hold onto the wheel in front, but a competent rider could finish the race without approaching their limits if they so choose. At Palace there’s no such hiding, there are no free rides. There’s little drafting advantage to be found in sprinting out of a corner, nor in the repeated and relentless grind up the incline on the back of the course – strong riders will be found pushing the pace on the front, weaker riders found clinging to their coat tails. It’s a fantastic interval workout – all-out efforts followed by woefully inadequate moments of recovery, repeated over and over and over…

All cycling life is here

But beyond all the racing and all the action on the course, the main reason I have such an affection for Palace is the atmosphere. It’s in a park, surrounded by greenery and trees, away from traffic but still very much in London. Signing on is on a patch of grass under a tree in the middle of the course – no fancy lottery funded facilities, or even the most basic of facilities (the bushes in one direction serve as the gents toilets, the bushes in the other the womens). And in attendance is a cross section of London’s racing scene; from the kids races that run while the seniors pin on their numbers and chat on the grass, to the growing women’s racing scene, to the elites and young-up-and-comers on talent schemes and Olympic academy squads. Everyone mingles, there’s no snobbery or division lines according to experience or ability. It’s grass roots level racing at its best, and a tradition that I hope will be well supported, attended and enjoyed for many summers to come.

Racing at Crystal Palace takes place throughout the summer, with youth racing starting at 6.45pm and the seniors at 7.15pm. Keep an eye on the forecast however as racing is cancelled if it’s raining or the course is wet. Check out the British Cycling website for more details.

The Article is in response to Professor Kip Viscusi's "Monetizing the Benefits of Risk and Environmental Regulation." It emphasizes several issues Viscusi's "value of a statistical life" (VSL) methodology fails to capture: (1) the distinction and difference in value between willingness to pay for a regulation and willingness to accept; (2) the fact that the many risks, for which regulations have been adopted, are so slight that the value to many is actually the value of not seeing someone else suffer harm in the absence of regulation; (3) real life irrational decision-making does not easily fit into an economic value; and (4) most people are unaware of the risks they undertake when they decide to perform a certain action. It concludes VSLs may provide proper guidance to decision-makers, but should not be used as the exclusive methodology for deciding whether to regulate.

Mathews is struggling with the bat in Tests — Arnold

Russel Arnold responds to questions from fans in his weekly column
March 24, 2013

PhotoHow has Angelo Mathews handled captaincy thus far? Is he struggling in Test cricket and is his place under threat if he does not continue to deliver with the bat in Tests?Harshajith and Asanka Mallawarachchi

I think he has done well, especially when you consider captaincy alone. Angelo reads the game well; he has been proactive, unafraid to make changes and he is not afraid to experiment. I'm happy with what I saw, but I'm not so thrilled about the approach and attitude going into the Test series, which we can't blame Angelo for. The instructions given to the curator for the Galle pitch and the placid nature of it, for example. I agree that Angelo is struggling with the bat in Tests and he will need to perform to keep his place in the side. It's always easier to lead from the front with solid performances from the captain. The last thing a team needs is a captain under pressure.

There have been many opinions on an incident involving Lasith Malinga and a journalist. His response to a journalist during the contract crisis did not go down well, what is your opinion on the incident?
Shane De Zoysa

Initially, I made nothing of it and thought it was funny. He is an important cog in Sri Lanka's wheel and an international sporting icon, so people are looking for reasons to nail him. I also saw Sanath use a very similar tone but nothing was made of it.

Who is your favourite cricket commentator?Marlon Jayaratna

My favourite commentator is Bill Lawry.

Were there any players you would have liked to see included in the T20 squad for the solitary T20 against Bangladesh?Iraj Wickramarathne

When looking at the squad, you realise that the following players will eventually make up the T20 side: Kushal Perera, Dilshan Munaweera, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Angelo Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Thisara Perera, Lasith Malinga, Sachithra Senanayake and Shaminda Eranga. The rest of the squad have been brought in to give them a feel of things, therefore, there's no point in analysing beyond the playing XI because this is for just one T20 game.

There seems to be an obvious trend, where almost all the incoming players to the Sri Lankan side are from only four main clubs: NCC, SSC, Tamil Union and Colts. It appears that performances of players in other clubs are being constantly ignored. What do you have to say about this?Randika Fernando

I don't think that this is the case. No matter what club you're from, it's going to be tough to get into the Sri Lankan side right now because the best players in the country are in the Sri Lankan side. The selection policy should not be focusing on picking players from each club, but picking the best players no matter what club they come from.

Why do so many Sri Lankan batsmen wear so much of protective gear? They wear chest guards and arm guards even on slow, low pitches and even when facing bowlers who are not express pace. Why is that? Is it because they fear getting hit, or is it a habit?Ashan Janaka

The bounce on wickets in Sri Lanka tends to be unpredictable, so it becomes hard for batsmen to trust the bounce. If the protective gear is available, you are better off using it than risk an injury.

Anonymous's picture

Mathews while I agree has not set the world on fire with the bat in Tests still has the 2nd best AVG (42) in tests over the last two years amongst those that have played 10 Tests or more in the said period.

Thank you for supporting Logan

Hi, my name is Logan Slee and I am 16 years old.

I have been selected for the NZ Secondary Schools Cross Country Team to travel to Paris in 2018 to compete at the World Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships.

At the age of 4 years old, I decided to join my Primary school’s very own running club.  Every week, twice a week, I would run around the streets of  Silverstream alongside many parents and teachers that were involved. My first races were my school cross country races and this is where I believe that I caught the running bug. Ever since then, I have thoroughly enjoyed the sport and have always pushed myself to be the best that I can possibly be.

My Achievements:

  • I placed 2nd in the senior boys division at the Wellington Secondary Schools Cross Country Champs earlier this year
  • I was selected for the Wellington U18 Cross Country team to compete at the North Island Cross Country Champs and placed 3rd
  • I placed 16th in the senior boys race at the NZSSXC in Christchurch in June
  • I placed 10th in the U18 men NZXCC held in Auckland in July
  • I was then selected for the New Zealand Secondary School Cross Country Team to go to Hobart to compete in the Australian Cross Country Champs and placed 25th in the U18 men at this event
  • Finally, my most recent and greatest achievement to date has been to be named in the New Zealand Secondary School Team to compete in Paris next year

My Goals:

My short term goal is to attend the World Secondary Schools Cross Country Champs in Paris next year and my long term goal is to strive towards qualifying for the Commonwealth Games and possibly even the Olympics by 2024!

To be able to compete in Paris has always been a dream of mine, however, I really need your help to get there!  Please help me in raising the necessary funds to travel to Paris to compete in 2018.

Any donations that you could give me would be accepted with gratitude.

Thank you in advance

Great resource for fundamental & technical analysis

While there is an abundance of forex charting apps, stock chart apps are much harder to find. So I am so pleased to have found this great resource that combines all the latest news and fundamentals on each company, while also providing different types of charts and indicators for those who are more technical analysts.

Data failures

This app could be good but has the awful habit of failing to show updated data for various stocks or an index from time to time. However if you look at the chart this seems to be current.
This app needs more development.
The one day chart regularly fails. All other timescales work fine. Very frustrating.

Stopped working

My app seems to have stopped working properly. Struggles to update once a day and never gives any updates on the day, only the day after market close. Unless over a weekend and then only updates after the weekend. I have done the usual phone resets and restored my purchases and send emails to support, which have gone unanswered.

At a loss. This was a great app

'To those who know that the inhabitants of heaven and hell are political prisoners, that the law is as preventative as next year's weather, that the post-human's too predictable, South London has always been a playground.'

What if god were found to exist? What if revenge were possible? Competing groups of assassins race to exterminate the creator, with young gun Alix the favourite.

But conflict among the Edgemen sends Alix in pursuit of renegade shaman Quinas and a psychic splinter group. Waging multidimensional war, the Edgemen travel through sidespace to confront at last the source of evil and hit back at a toxic universe, even at the risk of ending it.

This short poetic novella is a dense, corrosive satirical trip. Unlike most Aylett books, there are very few humorous diversions. It's like having a bucket of spiked sherbet dumped into your skull.

FLAT is an exploration of the rapidly expanding subject of Flat Earth theory. Social media has seen a large increase in interest and discussion concerning the subject. The theory has grabbed the attention of a large number of people who are beginning to ask more and more questions of our educators, scientists and politicians as Heliocentricity is representing our observed world less and less.

About Mihimaru GT

J-pop group Mihimaru GT specialize in an urban/pop sound. After unspectacular solo careers, duo members Miyake (born Mitsuyuki Miyake on October 2, 1980, in Okayama, Japan) and Hiroko (born Akutsu Hiroko on July 24, 1984, in Hyogo, Japan) were brought together as Mihimaru GT by their shared management. They released a number of singles to moderate success, starting with 2003's "Yakusoku," but it was 2006's "Kibun Jou Jou" that made Mihimaru GT a household name in Japan. Their three albums, Mihimarhythm (2004), Mihimalife (2005), and Mihimagic (2006), were all big sellers, each breaking the Top 20, with Mihimagic peaking at number two. Their 2007 compilation, Best of Mihimaru GT, was a number one seller on the Oricon charts. ~ Chris True

Video Review: Kesha “Hymn”

Riding in the backseat of a driverless convertible, Kesha stares up at the stars while traveling through the desert.

In a small apartment, a child sleeps in her bed as her mother, a few feet away, leans on a cabinet. A twentysomething young man sits in a bathtub with his head down.

A light flashes on the daisies in the field and a second young man sitting on the roof of a building. A twentysomething woman smiles as the bright light shines on her. A couple eat their dinner in the dark. A young man puts a shirt on and walks out the door of his mobile home. He follows the round burst of light shooting across the sky.

At about 10 p.m., Kesha’s car stops at a precise stop on the road, the headlights glaring on the group of people, watching the sky. Kesha joins them and waits. The car rises from the road and hovers below a spaceship. She watches as her arm raises on its own, in unison with the group of people. They begin to dance.

The car enters the spaceship, covering the area with a blinding white shield. The next morning, she opens her eyes as she walks on the road. Glancing over her shoulder, she sees the group of people from last night.

Rating: 4/5

Kesha didn’t know where the car was taking her. It arrived on its own at her doorstep. She believed it was a part of a promotion at first and called her manager. Her manager told her nobody said anything to her. After fiddling with the controls, she got in the backseat. Then, it began to move.

It took her out of the city and into an unfamiliar area of the desert. The humming of the car’s engine was all she heard for hundreds of miles. She watched the sun set and searched for people alongside the shoulder.

The car came to a sudden stop. A group of people had gathered underneath a round burst of light. She realized why the car was for her. She looked at the people next to her. Some of them were doe-eyed and expectant. Several men seemed resigned. A child took her hand.

While being raised to the spaceship, she and the people were placed in a computerized utopia, recreating their lives. During supervised meals with the aliens, they talked and discussed why they were taken away. Kesha said she believed each one of them had been abused and were vulnerable. They needed to not to fear the aliens. They were there to help them heal.

Returning to Earth the next morning, she gave one final look to the group of people. They had bonded, experiencing a decade within hours of meeting. However, none of them were coming with her. She was still by herself.

What I’ve been doing in my extended absence

I didn’t take an extended vacation from blogging because I had nothing to say. No, this nearly two month absence was the result of feeling world-weary and burned out. It seemed like I made time for everyone except myself. I had more business contacts than friends, I wasn’t eating or sleeping well, I hadn’t read a book for pleasure in ages and I didn’t have a hobby. So, I went off in search of myself. Here’s what I found.

I found my old friend, Kelly (center), who celebrated his 40th birthday. Jerry Jimenez (right) completed The Californian survivor’s — er, alumni, meeting. (The woman at the far left is Jerry’s fiancée.) Kelly is also a new dad. He and his wife are already great parents. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple.

I found the wife makes excellent chile rellenos. And to think she has been sandbagging for nearly five years while I languished in the land of tofu and whole wheat. The nerve.

dscf6402.jpg dscf6416.jpg

I helped plan my mother’s 60th birthday party. When planning a large gathering, don’t overlook the savory simplicity of a taqueria as a caterer. We went this route and couldn’t have been happier. The guests raved about the tacos and from the host’s perspective, having the guests negotiate their own tacos (amount, fillings, etc.) made life so much easier.

dscf6870.jpg dscf6661.jpg

I found I’m a pretty decent gardener. I’m growing a vegetable garden largely from seeds. It has been an exercise in patience. There’s only so much watering, plant food, soil aeration and repositioning in sunlight a novice gardener can do, the rest is up to the plant. I’ve learned there are some things I simply cannot control. And when I try to force my will on a tiny seedling, I kill it. I planted most of my vegetable seeds in January. Here we are in the beginning of April and they’re growing, but it will be months before I pick my first tomato.

I found that bulbs take a long time to sprout from the earth, even longer if you have a lot of shade on your property.

I found that with enough water and a shovel, even the most towering, unwelcome shrub will die.

I found that the tactical placement of fully grown annuals is necessary for preserving one’s sanity when the impatiens and violas one planted from seed didn’t grow, even after months of watering, repositioning and plant food.

I found that my pastor trusts me enough to let me preach on Sunday morning. It’s a humbling, hilarious and horrifying thought. I had too much to say to be nervous. I had a blast and I pray someone’s life was touched by what God put on my heart.

OK, this is enough for a first post. I don’t want to send all of you into shock. Your deprived little eyeballs wouldn’t recover from it.

A change is gonna come

With each new post, I am increasingly dissatisfied with the appearance of italic text. Instead of italics, the text is red. It looks like a link and competes with the color of the real links, which are light green.

To have the complete creative control I want, I’ll need to upgrade wordpress and migrate my blog to a server. This would involve a significant investment of time in learning more HTML code. And I already have projects coming out of my ears.

Sigh. The fun continues.

June swoon

It appears I have been in a writing funk for a few weeks now. There’s no reason, really. Summer is here, the wife is enjoying the perks of her teaching job and that Hebrew Prophets paper is over.

A significant amount of my time is spent in the evangelism/outreach field at church and while there has certainly been a lot to document, I’ve been so busy giving Bible studies, discipleship classes, hosting dinners and checking in with my peeps that I flop on the couch at the end of the day with a good book and tune out the world.

I’ve slowly emerged from my vacuum-sealed bloggless cocoon and will be my old self by next week.

To my faithful and beloved regulars

I’m returning to my routine now that I’m back from the funeral. I’m heading off to teach at our church’s annual family camp this weekend. Alas, no Internet access but plenty of carne asada, I’m told.

Not to worry, I have the blogging bug and I’ll leave you with a weekend’s worth of material. Just don’t woof it all down at once. Savor it, as my mother used to say.

The FXX may well be the result of a South Park-esque coupling of Enzo Ferrari and Lucifer. Fast, ugly and mean, the non-street-legal beast makes no pretense of being anything but a super-quick toy for the super-rich. And anyone who's soul is worth over five million US dollars has a crack at acquiring one on eBay right now. For that price, a more-than-fair dollop of rum, sodomy and the lash had better be included. [Thanks to Evan for the tip.]

Homeowners Insurance Claims for Collapse Damage

Your home just collapsed. Do you know the cause? When it comes to homeowners insurance and property damage, collapse is a peril up for interpretation. Our public adjusters are seasoned professionals in determining what you are truly owed from such a catastrophe.
As your policyholder advocate, we break down walls with your insurance company to get you the money you are entitled to from your claim.

A collapse can happen from sudden natural disasters like a mudslide or hidden causes that over time compromised the structural integrity of your home, such as insufficient construction methods and draining systems, decay, and infestation. Even heavy collection of rainwater on your rooftop could lead to roof damage and be considered a cause.

Still, your homeowners insurance policy may state exclusions or limitations related to these causes that could limit your coverage if you suffer collapse property damage. It can leave you vulnerable to an unreasonable damage assessment by your insurance company and its adjusters that will not get you what you deserve. That is why our team of public adjusters works on your behalf, bringing to the situation unmatched professional experience in claim management. We are fluent in your policy coverage, properly evaluate and document the extent of property damage, and negotiate your claim for the maximum amount so and your family can recover sooner.

What To Focus On After Collapse Damage

Make sure you fully understand the meaning of each of the following before you move forward. Feel free to reach out to us for a no-cost discussion about your claim.
  • How much do I really need to know?
  • How can I minimize the emotional toll on my family?
  • How can I minimize the effect on my work/career?
  • How large and advance should I expect?
  • Is there anyone on my side?
  • How much time over the next several months will you need to put aside to handle your claim properly? How will all those hours affect your family? Your job?
  • What is the emotional investment that you will need to commit to the process?
  • Can you get paid for your time?
  • Are you entitled to an advance from the insurance company? What is reasonable?
  • What is your broker or agent’s role? Will his/her role be active or passive? When faced with supporting your position or the insurance company’s, where will he/she stand?
  • Are you familiar with the forms/practices below and what their request/issuance is telescoping? Request for a Proof of Loss. Reservation of Rights letter. Request for an Examination Under Oath.
  • What does it mean when the insurance company recommends a preferred vendor? Who is this vendor working for, really?
  • Contractors may tell you they can do what public adjusters can do. Can they really? What is their background and education in insurance? Are they bonded? In many states, like California, it’s even against the law!
  • What is the insurance company’s motivation in preparing a reconstruction estimate for you? The policy says it is your responsibility. Why are they willing to do it? How do they benefit?
  • What is the difference between functional replacement and true replacement? Should you care? Why?
  • How is actual cash value determined?
  • Can you do the repairs yourself? Are you entitled to the profit that a contractor would typically charge? Are you entitled to the overhead that a contractor would typically charge?
  • What are the benefits and the pitfalls of replacing your home vs. selling?
  • Do you have to replace on the same site? Can you buy or build elsewhere?
  • Can you collect code coverage allowances if you build elsewhere?
  • How quickly can you get started rebuilding?

Homeowners We Have Helped

Months after the storm passed, the County was still faced with tremendous burdens related to the insurance coverage issues and FEMA and MEMA eligibility issues. Jackson County hired Adjusters International to provide professional services for disaster assistance, remediation, restoration and recovery efforts. ...Their expertise with governmental regulations, the complex FEMA process and insurance adjustments resulted in our successful claim for over $2 million in additional FEMA Public Assistance funding specifically; in our successful negotiations with our insurance carrier; and in numerous other increases in the values FEMA and MEMA initially designated for County projects. Jackson County will always be mindful of the help we received from Adjusters International when we needed it most.

Certainly the tragedy of the World Trade Center explosion will remain etched in our memories forever. We can, however, take pride in the united response of hundreds of people which enabled the complex to be reopened in record time and reconstructed on an expedited schedule. At the same time, as you well know, we were involved in a long, sometimes agonizing process of pursuing settlement activities with insurers. Without your help, and the help of many others the settlement wouldn't have been concluded as successfully as it was. On behalf of The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, I would like to thank you for the expert advice you provided to me and my staff in our effort to bring the World Trade Center explosion insurance claim to closure. Your expertise and insight in this long and arduous negotiation were invaluable.

Salad Dressings

This morning at the supermarket I lingered at the salad dressings section, looking at some of the weird ingredients that go into them. The prices on some were rather interesting too.
I don't want to ingest those artificial ingredients or spend money on inferior food, so I try to adapt or invent recipes to suit our tastes, using real ingredients, with no preservatives.
Recently I found a simple recipe for Coleslaw dressing that contains mayo, so I use  Granny's mayo that I wrote about awhile ago. I always keep a big jar of it in the fridge to use as a base mayo.

A few simple ingredients makes a delicious, preservative and numbers free, Coleslaw Dressing.
I make up a batch and keep it in a screw top jar, usually only enough that we would use within a week, because we eat a lot of coleslaw type raw salads.
Half cup of mayo
Half cup of sour cream (did you know that the cheap home brand or Aldi sour cream is just as good quality as the name brands?)
One level teaspoon caster sugar
Half teaspoon of salt (Himalayan Pink or any good salt)
Mix it in the jar with a spoon, until well combined then add a splash (approx 1 or 2 dessertspoons) of apple cider vinegar to bring to the consistency of a thick dressing.

Another of my favorite dressings is this easy one that most of you will probably be familiar with.
I don't know what it's called, so lets just call it,
 Egg and Oil Mayo.
Put the following into a jar that is large enough to take your stick blender;
1 cup of good light oil (I use rice bran oil, because olive oil has a taste that is too strong for this recipe, and I don't use cheap vegetable cooking oils for good health reasons.)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dry mustard  (to taste)
Juice of half a lemon or 2 tablespoons
There's no need to blend and drizzle other bits in slowly; just put everything in together!
Place the stick blender into the bottom of the jar and blend.
Magic!! It quickly becomes a thick, pale yellow creamy delicious dressing.
It only takes a minute, and gets thicker the longer it's blended.

Fiddle around with it until you get the flavour you want; add more lemon juice to make it taste more Hollandaise if you like.
Or add some dried dill or chives.

I can't get enough of this at the moment, and am dipping thick slices of fresh picked zucchini and cucumber into it, for a snack.
It would be suitable for all types of food intolerances.. gluten free, sugar free, low carb, dairy free.
Guilt free creamy deliciousness.

If you have a salad dressing recipe you would you like to share, please do?

  1. We eat a lot of salads here in the Summer and I'm always trying out different dressings. I'm liking a vinagrette at the moment made with apple cider vinegar. So fresh and light and delicious. Meg:)

    1. Vinaigrette dressing is always a favorite Meg, and can be changed in subtle ways with different types of vinegar. In my fridge at present is ACV vinaigrette that's perked up with some kumquat marmalade.

  2. This is my favourite. It seems to go with everything!

    1/2 cup of garlic infused olive oil (or plain oo and
    3 garlic cloves)
    1/4 cup rice vinegar
    1 T honey
    1 T Dijon mustard
    salt and pepper to taste

    1. I've never tried this with rice vinegar Barbara, but will have a go next time I make up a jar. Thanks! And I adore honey in this dressing.

  3. Thanks for the coleslaw dressing recipe Sally. I am making it now.

    1. I hope you like it Annie. It's quite sweet, from the sugar already in Granny's Mayo, so you could perhaps omit the sugar.

  4. Thank you so much for these recipes, like you, I balk at the additives and preservatives in dressings, I shall be trying some of these for sure.

Joan Rivers In Memoriam

Shalom Y’All:

We were “farklempt” when we learned of the untimely passing of Joan Rivers.

Born Joan Alexandra Molinsky on June 8, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants, Joan attended Brooklyn Ethical Culture School and the Adelphi Academy. She later went to Connecticut College for two years, then transferred to Barnard College where she graduated with a BA in literature and anthropology and was a member of Phi Betta Kappa.

Before entering show business she worked at a variety of jobs including tour guide, writer/proofreader and fashion consultant.

Her agent, Tony Rivers, advised her to choose a stage name, so she picked Joan RIvers.

She began her career by appearing in a short run play and performing stand up comedy in various comedy clubs in Greenwich Village in New York City. She did stints in the Catskills. Her breakthrough came in 1961 at The Second City In Chicago where she perfected her comedic style.

Her first TV appearance was as a guest on the “Tonight Show,” hosted by Jack Parr, who agreed to have her appear at the suggestion of Bill Cosby. Parr liked her style and she appeared eight more times on his show.

For a while, she was a gag writer and participant on “Candid Camera.”  She continued to appear on the Tonight Show with its new host, Johnny Carson, who became her mentor. She began appearing on various TV comedy and variety shows including “The Ed Sullivan Show”, “Carol Burnett Show” and “Hollywood Squares.” She also worked as the opening act in Las Vegas for such singers as Helen Reddy and Robert Goulet. She released comedy albums, hosted a daytime talk show and wrote and directed movies.

By 1983 she was the regular guest host on the “Tonight Show.”  In 1984 she published a best selling humor book, The Life and Times of Heidi Abramowitz.”

In 1986 Fox offered Joan the opportunity to host a late night talk show, which would make her the first female to host such a show on a major network. This show was to air on the same time slot as the “Tonight Show,” putting her in direct competition with Johnny Carson. She accepted. Carson was furious, banned her from appearing on his “Tonight Show” and never spoke to her again.

This “Late Show Starring Joan Rivers,” led to tragedy. Fox decided to fire her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, as the show’s producer. When she challenged that decision, Fox fired both of them. Three months later, after she and Edgar separated, her husband committed suicide. Joan blamed it on his “humiliation: by Fox.

She continued to appear on various TV shows and hosted another daytime talk show, The Joan Rivers Show.” It ran for five years (1989-1993) and resulted in Joan winning a Daytime Emmy in 1990 for Outstanding Talk Show host.

In 1994 she  co wrote and starred in a play about Lenny Bruce’s mother, Sally Marr. It ran for 50 performances and Joan was nominated for both a Drama Desk Award and a Tony for her acting.

In 1997 she hosted her own radio show on WOR in New York City.

She continued to appear on various TV shows. She was the winner in Celebrity Apprentice, and was hired by Trump to be the 2009 Celebrity Apprentice. She and her daughter Melissa starred in a reality series on WE tv called, “Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?”and beginning in 2010 she co-hosted the E! show,”Fashion Police,” commenting on celebrity fashion. She wrote another bestseller, “I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me.” In March 2013 she began a new online talk show on YouTube called “In Bed With Joan,” which she hosted from her bedroom.

Her tough talking brand of satirical humor was both praised and criticized as being too truthful and abrasive and sometimes insensitive. She poked fun at celebrities, and herself, including her many plastic surgeries.

During her 50 plus year career, she wrote 12 books, participated in 27 films, starred in or produced 5 theatrical productions and appeared numerous times on television as both a host and a guest.

She was very philanthropic and supported such causes as help for AIDS patients, suicide prevention, guide dogs for the blind, Jewish charities, etc. Joan was a member of Temple Emanuel a Reform synagogue in New York City. She was very pro Israel.

She was married twice, the first lasting but six months. Her second marriage to Edgar Rosenberg resulted in one child, Melissa, who was very close to her mother. Melissa has one son, Cooper.

On August 28, 2014, during a routine surgical procedure on her vocal cords, she stopped breathing. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where she was first put into a medically induced coma  and then on life support. She died on September 4. The exact cause of her death is still being investigated.

Her funeral, on September 7, at Temple Emanuel was a private ceremony attended by many in the entertainment business.

We’ll miss you Joan.

paper goodies and family life

Laurel Lane Guest DT

This is my final post in my guest spot for the Laurel Lane Design Team.  I am bananas for Laura's printables!!!  I strongly suggest you check out her Etsy shop HERE, and grab a few of the amazing kits she has for sale.
This pocket letter (PL) features Dear Lizzy papers from my stash (from an older Gossamer Blue kit), mixed in with washi, punched butterflies, Maggie Holmes and Heidi Swapp elements.  The beauty of PL's is using up your stash in a way that spreads some happy to a new friend!
This is a chipboard butterfly from Maya Road that I heat embossed.  I embossed two more of these butterflies and included them in the PL as goodies.  The sequins are adhered with micro glue dots and the butterfly is on the outside of the pocket, backed by a Laurel Lane Card that I inked.
Another Laurel Lane Designs card with Distress Markers smooshed on top.  My favorite way to use Distress Inks and Markers is as watercolors.
This PL uses Maggies Holmes Project Life cards that I trimmed to fit in the pockets.  Again, this is a mix of items from my stash including the typewriter stamp from Mama Elephant, Dear Lizzy stickers and embellies and a Gossamer Blue exclusive embossed stamp image (Happy Camper).
I think this Laurel Lane card is one of my favorites, I love the sentiment!
Huge thanks to Laura Rahel for letting me guest DT this month!  I had so much fun working with your fabulous/lovely/just-plain-awesome products!  You're a doll :)

the crazy guy (rated pg-13 for yicky language)   Leave a comment

I went on break from the YMCA about an hour ago, stopped at Southside Deli for a little bag of bbq Dirty Chips and a beverage, and headed over to the ice rink. I sat in my car and listened to WGR550 sports radio to hopefully catch a little talk about the Sabres. After a few mins of chipping and sipping I went into the rink to ask about some stuff.

I came outside and as I was getting into my car I heard a loud “HEY”. It was a little guy walking towards me. I have seen him around town; always walking. He had one hand in his pocket as he approached. This made me a tad bit nervous. Not really nervous though, lets just say I was wary. I watched his hand and actually started thinking about what I would do if he pulled something grumpy out of his pocket. Let me explain a little…

There are many guys who walk around batavia. They are crazy. Seriously. Most of them get checks from the government and spend it on scratch-off tickets and beer. This guy was walking toward me from the direction of a less than stellar bar. And as he approached he said, “I’m not crazy”. Sane people rarely use that statement. This guy must have been told that he is crazy to think he had to make sure I knew he wasn’t.

Well he wanted a ride to Batavia Downs Casino. I like to give people rides when I can. I have been blessed to have a car and many people don’t.

In the first 30 seconds of our drive from the rink to the Downs he divulged that he was not crazy, that he was a compulsive gambler, that he is crazy, that he was a drunk and had spent the day at the bar, that he was bulimic, and that he occassionally did drugs. At which point I asked if it was really a good idea that I was taking him to the casino.

So we talked. Or rather he talked. Non-stop. And he yelled out the window at a man walking. He yelled, “Hey don’t kiss him, he just blew me!” Then he laughed really loudly. And then mocked the guy for being white with white hair. At which point I wanted to say, “Well isn’t that the pot-smoker calling the kettle white”. I didn’t though.

We talked about the Buffalo Bills and how he was just in amazement that I don’t gamble. But then I said that I like playing poker occassionally. He then stated that he would rather spend his last 5 bucks on gambling instead of eating. He said that he was a hustler–that he made money by rooting through garbages for lottery tickets and checking them, and by asking for money lends and then not paying it back. Then he stated that he wasn’t a bad guy. To which I replied, “Yeah it sounds like you’re a bad guy”. He kinda laughed.

I was amazed at how comfortable he was. He just jumped into my car and crossed his legs and started talking.

When he said he was crazy I asked how long he had been crazy. Did he have a job before? Did something happen that made him snap? He said yes. 30 years earlier he had married a girl and she ended up leaving him and marrying his best man. I didn’t know whether to believe that or not so I asked what his best man’s name was. He said he didn’t remember. AHA! You don’t remember your best man’s name? His reply was, “If your lady left you for your friend would you want to remember it or forget it”? He was right. I was speechless. I would want to forget it all. So did he.

He is a really small guy. His front teeth are missing and if you forget that he reminds you every time he produces that huge laugh.

Now I am torn. I gave a guy a ride so I thought I was doing something good. But I took a compulsive gambler, drinker, shoutoutthewindower, drug user to the casino where he could further his lifestyle. But I got this blog out of it. Win/maybe win.

On your behalf, I am advocating for a more thoughtful, creative, and responsible approach to policy issues at City Hall. I take very seriously the responsibility to make informed decisions that are based on evidence, community consultation, and the merits of arguments – rather than partisanship. I will continue representing our community at Council meetings on transit, tenant concerns, childcare, green space, and other issues that matter most to Midtown residents.

New! Greek Gulet Cruises

Lately Turkey has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The troubles are a long long way from our part of the country. Still, we know that some people are nervous about visiting here at the moment. Gulet cruises are a Turkish tradition, but what if it was possible to take a gulet cruise in a different country?

Well the good news is, we now offer gulet cruises in Greece! You can easily fly to the Greek island of Rhodes (which is well-served by international flights), meet us at Rhodes marina, and enjoy a gulet cruise among the Dodecanese islands of Greece. With a three day cruise, we can sail around Symi and Tilos, both islands barely touched by the modern world. If you have the time for a longer cruise, we can travel further, to islands such as Nisiros, Kos, Pserimos, Kalymnos, Telendos, Leros, Lipsi, Arki, all the way up to Patmos. We also offer private day trips up to three days around tiny Kastellorizo, which lies just a short distance from our home port of Kaş.

In fact the Greek islands are not new to us. We have always offered the option of visiting Kastellorizo or Rhodes, which lie a short distance offshore from the Lycian coast. In the summer of 2016, Osman went a step further, taking two long exploratory cruises to each of the Dodecanese islands, and making Greek friends and contacts along the way. With our local shipping agent in Rhodes taking care of immigration and other paperwork, it’s a smooth and hassle-free trip for our guests. Plain sailing, you might say.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding more sample itineraries to our Greek island cruises section. But as always, nothing is set in stone and every cruise is a custom one. Contact us today to discuss your Greek gulet cruise in the Dodecanese, and escape the madding crowds in 2017 with a truly memorable island holiday.
