TOY STORY 4 (2019) STORY SYNOPSIS
TOY STORY 40 June 2019
If there’s one movie franchise that strikes fear into me more than any other, it’s Pixar’s enduring TOY STORY series...
When I first saw TOY STORY all the way back in 1995, I realised as soon as it started that I was watching something very special. Just like SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS did in 1937, with TOY STORY, the Animation genre took a quantum leap forward, showcasing just how much could be achieved by way of computer rendering.
I loved TOY STORY so much, I saw it again the next day…
I was extremely fearful when the fourth film was announced…
The answer is: EFFORTLESSLY.
The new film also sees the return of Bo Peep, voiced by Annie Potts, who hasn’t been seen since the second film in 1999. Bo’s return comes at the expense of Joan Cusack’s Jessie, who played a central role in TOY STORY 2 and was a key supporting character in the third film. The film’s writers, of which there are no less than eight credited, use Bo as the catalyst to force Woody to confront some home truths and spin the series off in an entirely new direction (if Pixar are game enough to tackle a fifth outing some time in the future…)
As far as the fourth film is concerned, both young and old fans of the series should be well satisfied with what first-time Feature Director Josh Cooley delivers.
It has a great mix of jokes, one-liners, sight gags and audience winks that cater for all age groups.
The surprise packet in the humour stakes is the Keanu Reeves’ voiced Duke Caboom, Canada’s answer to Evil Kenevil…
Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, best known to audiences from the TV series VEEP, is a unique creation; made from a plastic fork adorned with bits and pieces cobbled together and fashioned into a figure by Bonnie on her orientation day at Preschool. Forky becomes Bonnie’s new favourite toy, joining Woody and the gang as Bonnie’s Mum and Dad embark upon a road trip before their daughter has to head off to school full time.
Forky proves to be a handful and only Woody’s protective persistence prevents the self-aware piece of disposal cutlery from being - quite literally - thrown out with the trash as he seeks solace in the nearest garbage bin the first opportunity he gets.
Eventually, Woody’s efforts fail and Forky makes a jump for it.
Woody selflessly throws himself out the window of the fast-moving RV in a hastily put-together rescue effort, understanding that Bonnie’s happiness hinges on Forky being present and accounted for when she wakes up in the morning.
From this point, TOY STORY 4 takes flight and heads off in all manner of directions, as multiple character arcs ebb and flow through the course of the story.
For example, Pixar’s animators continue to create stylised humans that look like cartoon characters...
Despite the wonderful animation, at its heart, the TOY STORY series has always been about friendship and loyalty. Woody and Buzz came to learn this by the end of the first film and now, by the end of the fourth film, this friendship is again reiterated and one of the film’s best moments occurs between these two toward its end.
Amid the TOY STORY merchandise craze of the mid-1990s, Pixar and Disney released a limited edition Giclee print of the scene from the first film where Woody and Buzz finally reconcile their differences and realise they have to work together if they want to escape a horrible fate at Sid’s hands. The print is titled “Friends at last…”
If there was a similar Giclee released for the fourth film, depicting Woody and Buzz, it would have to be called “Friends forever…”
With both excitement and relief, that was how I felt by the time the TOY STORY 4 credits had finished and the lights came up. (BTW, stay for the entire end credit sequence.)

"On the other hand everybody is facing invasive species, especially Eurasian water milfoil. And the series of problems associated with not only preventing those species from getting in the lake in the first place, but in the hundred or so lakes in Oneida County that already have invasive species, what do you do to control them or eradicate them?"
"Obviously lakes are important ecologically, they're important socially, they're important aesthetically – but for every individual even if you don't care about those other factors – the economics of water in Oneida County is important for each individual."

One in four African-Americans lives in poverty, 40 percent of all the incarcerated inmates are African-Americans. Black Americans are given disproportionately harsher sentences for similar crimes. Kalief Browder, a sixteen year old African-American youth was on his way home from a party when he was arrested by New York City Police, charged with robbery. Police tipped off by a single witness that Browder had allegedly robbed someone, three weeks earlier. Unable to put up the $10,000 bond, Browder was incarcerated at the notorious Riker’s Island prison. After 33 months in jail, the D.A. offered the youth a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea — Browder refused, and one week later, the police dropped all charges.
Jeffery Skilling was the former CEO of Enron Corporation; after the company’s financial collapse, Skilling was charged and convicted of conspiracy, insider tradSkilling was eventually sentenced to 24 years in a minimum security Federal Prison, guarded by a split rail fence and a jogging track.

Skilling was neither poor, nor black, Kalief Browder was never convicted of a crime, and Jeffery Skilling was.
The disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, appeared on CNN, trying to redeem himself. He apologized for his “terrible mistake” claiming he was “baited” into making racist statements. This is who we are as a people; if he wasn’t racist, how could he be baited into making racist statements?

, w’th–Map To Higher Consciousness
Many people have heard of the Kabbalah and some have tried to study it. Most people don’t understand it because it seems too complex, and they abandon hope of trying to understand.
Out of all the Spiritual mystical systems, this one works. (We are speaking of miracles resulting from working with this system) Many people desire to be spiritual. They thank God for their blessings, pray and really feel close to God. But, then they don’t know how to obtain the walk with God they long for. The Kabbalah is a map on the Tree of Life.
Because the Vessel (Universe) could not contain God it shattered into trillions of pieces. This caused a separation of the two energies. Creation of the Vessel produced a realm Kabbalists call the Endless World, giving and receiving as a whole. The Creator and the Creation became polar opposites, extremes of each other. Since that time, everything contains and is a part of its opposite. The differences of the two energies caused the separation yet they needed to be different. A giver needs to have a willing receiver in order to give. The separation caused the Vessel to forget it was a part of God. Because of the separation the Vessel no longer received and God pulled back creating a dark space. The more Creator withdrew the more the darkness expanded. In Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 you’ll see the duality begin to emerge. The separation of the dry land from the water, water from water, light from dark, female from male. You may have noticed it in your own mind. Your conscious mind says I’ll start my diet today and your subconscious mind says I want to eat cake. We live in a 3 dimensional world of left and right, up and down, back and forth. It’s hard for us to think outside our small world.
The So Called Fall Of Mankind
A Tree is a Tree and we can use it for beauty or firewood. The only way for us to make that tree a part of us is by eating it’s fruit. It’s fruit is it’s substance. We learn of the existence of the tree and we partake of the tree through it’s fruit..A conscious mind or conscious being) He gave him a logical left male mind. Then put him to sleep and formed his female companion, and Adam awakened or became aware of the two minds united as one. (Since Adam was formed from the ground, God imputed his spirit into him by breathing the breath of life, and a subconscious mind was given to him to maintain his connection to himself and to God so he would remain a long time and in God’s presence)
The mind of God is aware there is dark and light but sees them in unity as one day. The human mind sees opposites.
Since the two minds were one in the same flesh and the only way to sustain or keep the flesh alive was for those two minds to agree in unity, mankind would die if their minds did not remain united. However when a human is told not to do something they become more interested in it and begin to debate with both minds why they should and should not do it. (temptation). When mankind disobeyed God and partook of that which he was not suppose to, his eyes were completely opened and he became as the Gods knowing good and evil (opposites). His two minds now appeared separated. Think about your own minds how they seem constantly at war with each other. The minute Eve was separated from Adam, she became his opposite, and now she could think and make decisions without him.
God drove man out of Paradise so he would not live forever separated from God. But mankind’s two minds remained connected so, if he desired to be one with God again he could, God placed a flaming sword that turned back and forth, (the sympathetic nervous system intertwines with the parasympathetic nervous system up and down the spine) so that only a person who united the two minds could remain connected to God forever. The two nervous systems are part of both minds and are complimentary opposites. However, they intertwine back and forth and loop back up into the brain from where they started. Within mankind lies the secret to immortality, but it is obtained by accepting opposites as unity, and through a great desire to be one with God. The When we have true faith that leaps in our belly we create miracles in our lives. That’s because Faith is the unity of our own two minds. 5d


not accept its teachings from holding a job or participating in the economy (Revelation 13:11–17). Dissenters will be persecuted and killed. While this sounds unbelievable to our modern ears, we need to remember that this church has used similar methods in the past—before, during and just after the Reformation! The Bible also indicates that this great church—called a "mother of harlots"—will mount a concerted effort to lure her estranged children back into her fold. The prophet Isaiah writes of a church called "the Lady of Kingdoms" who makes the audacious claim: "I am, and there is no one else besides me [I am the one true church]5–8).

No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ – Kuensel Online
No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ
… says Constitution good for another 50-100 years
Law: Laws that change constantly have no obedience, said the former Chief Justice Sonam Tobgye quoting the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.
He was responding to a question from the foreign minister, Damcho Dorji, who had asked the speaker if he had second thoughts on any Article of the Constitution.
The former chief justice was speaking atr, the Indian social reformer, on March 5.
The former chief justice, who said that a certain number of years are needed before any changes to the country’s supreme law can be made.
“We tried our best to give a document that will stand at least, in the words of His Majesty, 50 to 100 years,” Sonam Tobgye said.
Lyonpo Damcho Dorji asked if there were any second thoughts on any of the provisions. Citing an example, he said emergency powers granted in the Indian Constitution have been criticised by many for overthrowing the power of state governments.
In the Bhutanese context as well, he said the Constitution empowers the government during an emergency to override the fundamental rights granted under Article 7. Article 33 some of the fundamental rights of citizens during an emergency.
Lyonpo Damcho Dorji was of the view that there is a possibility that an “arbitrary and aggressive government” in future may take advantage of this constitutional provision to violate some of the fundamental rights.
“If there is anything that I would like to amend, I would like to proudly say No,” the former chief justice said.
He explained that the clauses relating to suspension of fundamental rights were carefully drafted keeping in mind the criticisms of such clauses in other constitutions. If the government has overriding powers and tries to amend the Constitution during an emergency, he said that would not happen as the emergency will last only for 21 days.
Article 33, clause 9 of the Constitution also states that it cannot not be amended during a state of emergency.
“The Constitution should be able to change and amend but we need certain number of years for the Bhutanese to accept, formulate and ingrain our basic values,” he said.
The former chief justice also believes in the Buddhist principle that impermanence is the main message of the Buddha.
He said there were 100 amendments to the Indian Constitution till August 15 last year. “Amendments are also necessary because it will take off the political heat and divert various opinions,” he said.
He added that a number of countries around the world were plagued by constitutional crises when Bhutan was drafting its Constitution under His Majesty’s guidance. There were also criticisms against constitutions in the neighbouring countries.
“We were not blind to the events that were engulfing the whole world,” he said. Bhutan tried and learnt lessons from each of these countries.
The former chief justice said time has proven that Bhutan’s Constitution is right.
The then opposition party in 2010 sued the government for raising the vehicle tax without parliament’s approval. The opposition party prevailed and the Supreme Court in 2011 ordered  were paid by the buyers as a result of the tax increase.
A law graduate undergoing training at the RIM asked whether there was a reason behind the absence of the word “equality” in the Preamble of Bhutan’s Constitution.
The former chief justice also talked about the direct and indirect influences of the Indian Constitution and the wisdom of Dr Ambedkar in Bhutan’s Constitution. He said the independent election Act, and the e of Dr Ambedkar.
On the indirect impact of the Indian Constitution he said that the drafting committee thought Bhutan would not have a constitution as thick and large as India’s.
Quoting various internationally renowned persons, he said the government cannot be a “helpless spectator of lawlessness” butsovereignty and others. He also said the government cannot provide every right to the citizens.
“Constitution is not the catalog of human rights,” he said. “Constitution is the protector of freedom, liberty and others ,and particularly to encourage people to think to liberate themselve1:58:352016-04-08 11:58:35No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ

What is the architecture of the Louvre like?
4. How many works of art do the Louvre have?
What the country that has the best museums? In recent years, a museum of the same name has been established in the UAE, which aims to turn Abu Dhabi into a cultural and tourism hub. The Louvre is not just a museum, it is another of Paris’ most famous landmarks, and the Pyramid of the Louvre is another of the best monuments in the city.
France is a country that has the best museums with the Louvre Museum. Thnd is almost a thousand years old. The Louvre Museum is very large and has more than 35,000 works of art that show from ancient history to the 21st century.in Paris, France. Because of having the Louvre Museum, France is the country that has the best museums. This museum is very big and you have to plan to visit it because it has many parts and visiting all of them is time-consuming.
This place is located right in the heart of Paris or the so-called “Ax Historique”, where the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe are also located..
was built during the 8th century, but in terms of architecture, there is no multiplicity in it and its components have a special harmony with each other.
The architectural style of this building is Romanesque and it has Roman arches and large diameter walls. The building has many windows to allow air to circulate optimally in the building. The most important architectural part of the Louvre Museum is its large pyramid, which consists of more than 600 separate windows.
There are also a few small glass pyramids in the yard that are often overlooked.
The works and sights of the Louvre are all of great value. Some of them are artistically valuable and some of them are historically valuable and date back to BC. Tis also in this museum, which is one of the works of the museum that attracts all visitors and is one of the reasons for visiting this museum.
This museum houses many portraits, paintings, and artistic sculptures.
Important historical monuments of the museum include the statue of Aphrodite, the diamond of the viceroy, the statue of the horse Marley, the inscription of Iranian archers, and famous paintings by prominent artists. This has made France the country that has the best museums.
If you are planning to visit the Louvre, be sure to wear hiking boots because you need them for long walks.
The Louvre Museum in Par Here are some facts about the Louvre that you probably did not know.
 have to close many days of your work. In fact, you will have to quit because it takes more than 100 days without sleep to spend just 30 seconds watching each object in the Louvre.
Originally, the Louvre was not a museum at all. It was built as the LouvreKing Philip II.
In the 16th century, the castle became a royal palace and became the original residence of the French kings. From 1682 the royal families lived in the Palace of Versailles outside Paris.
In 1692, the Louvre was used to display the art collection of kings. An interesting fact about the Louvre Museum is that you can actually see the remains of the medieval Louvre Museum in its basement.
In 1911, the Mona Lisa was actually stolen but returned to the Louvre 2 years later. The museum management has guaranteed that this will not happen again. Because the Mona Lisa is currently behind bulletproof glass and is protected by special people.
How many works of art do the Louvre have?
The Louvre exhibits more than 35,000 pieces of art to the public, less than 10% of which are on display. But it is interesting to know that the museum has 380,000 works of art!
In 1871, when the French army was advancing inside Paris, a terrible fire broke out. The fire destroyed Tuileries Palace. Worse, it spread to the Louvre. Tuileries Palace was located next to the Louvre. Eventually, firefighters and museum staff were able to control the fire and save the Louvre.
As we said France is the country that has the best museums because the Louvre has a large number of world-famous works of art. The Mona Lisa or Jacquard Smile is just one of the hundreds of pieces of art known to almost everyone.  More than 15,000 people visit the Louvre every day and almost 70% of the visitors are foreigners. In 2018, just over 10.2 million people visited the Louvrehe best museums. On March 6, 2007, Franca world museum called the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which opened in 2014. This investment is also the foundation of a new kind of cultural cooperation between the two powerful countries, and meeting their common needs and aspirations.
The Abu Dhabi Louvre is a museum located in the Saadiyat Island Complex in Abu Dhabi and is part of a 30-year contract signedconstruction of the 24,000-square-foot museum sparked controversy in the art world, as there were initial objections to the Louvre’s motives in the contract.
With this agreement, the famous Louvre Museum in Paris, France, will have another location in the UAE. The Louvre Museum was built in France in the late twelfth century and is one of the most important museums in France. The museum houses some of thee’s Mona Lisa, The Virgin, and Child, Madonna of Roach and Alexandros of Antioch, by Madonna of the Rock and Alexandros of Antioch’s Venus de Milo).

issues (all of those students were upperclassmen). With almost one-third of the students reading three or more issues during the semester, the data suggest that the newsletter did fill a void for some students who were looking for additional advising information.
Table 1b Female student responses to on-line survey about advising newsletter
Newsletter is no help whatsoever
Number of female student respondents to this question = 24.
Table 2b MWhen asked whether the newsletter should be continued the following semester, all of the students, regardless of whether they had actually read a copy of the newsletter or not, wanted the print newsletter to be continued. The freshman female student who said that the newsletter was of no help whatsoever to her, even though she had read two issues, said the newsletter should continue. The two male juniors who said that the newsletter was not really of much help to them one had read all five issues, and one had not read any issues at all agreed that the newsletter should continue. Perhaps those students feel that the newsletter will be of help to them in the future and would like the newsletter to be available when they are ready to explore career opportunities.
It is difficult to assess if the newsletter was of more value to the female students than it was to the n the department is approximately 50:50, yet only 19were male. All but one of the female respondents stated that the newsletter added some level of value to departmental advising. Of the five male respondents to the question of whether the newsletter was of additional value to advising received from the department, three felt there was some value while two did not.
It is always a challenge to find the most effective method to communicate important and helpful information to students. I would argue that the level of the challenge increases with an increasing number of students in a department. Student responses for this particular department indicated that e- to students. The addition of a print departmental newsletter that contains a strong advising and career mentoring component can serve as a valuable supplement to faculty mentoring and can effectively circulate information to students. </s> Recent Comments:

The Green Bay Packers needed a missed field goal late in the 4th quarter to hang on to a 28-27 wi
Brees drove New Orleans to the Green Bay 25y kicked what appeared to be a go-ahead 43 yard field goal that was nullified by a holding call on New Orleans. Hartley lined up to attempt a 53 yarder, when Green Bay jumped offsides. So Hartley lined up from 48 yards and pushed the kick wide.
The Packers ran the clock out to even their record at 2-2 on the young season while New Orleans remains winless at 0-4.
With last Monday nights blown call in Seattle that cost them a win last week still fresh in their minds and especially the fans’ minds, there may have been a riot in Lambeau Field had the late call cost them another win.
Of course they could’ve tried to slow the Saints Drew Brees down a little as well as Brees tallied 446 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.

The overtime period was so intense and s. First, BL netminder Christian Knight came up with a big save.
Then Greyhounds goalie Bryan Moore (18 saves) made a big stop and cleared the ball down field where the ball eventually found Koerber behind the goal and the Denver commit came around the crease and shot low on Knight for the game winner.
Both teams entered the game tied in the MIAA with 5-2 records as they try to nail down the third seed and a home field first round game in the playoffs, which begin next week. Gilman is 10-3 overall, while Boys’ Latin falls to 12-6.
Gilman though, responded with their sophomore standout, Ruhl who scored with under 10 minutes into the fourth quarter. Then minutes later senior Matthai and Ruhl scored back-to-back goals and BL found themselves down by one with 7:24 left in the game.
Then senior attackman Greg Pyke, who is l, scored to tie the game for the seventh time in the game.
“I’m so happy for them because they kept after it,” said Gilman head coach Brooks Matthews. “Coming back against Boys’ Latin in the second half is such a tough thing to do on this field.”
Shack Stanwick though came up big to tie the game again at 10 heading into overtime.
Gilman junior attackman Max Greene, who had a four-goal day praised his goalie. “That’s expectable from him, you can always count on him for the big saves.”
Gilman has a strong hold on the #3 seed for the postseason with only one more regular season game remaining.
Matthews pointed to the momentum from this win will help heading into the playoffs.
“In this league, if you want to achieve the ultimate success you have to able to win two games in one week,” he said. “We had a great effort Tuesday (in a 19-10 win over St. Mary’s Annapolis) but we said we had to back that up with a great effort today and we did and that makes me so happy.”

Blogging is a new – but not so new – communication medium. A lot of people and organizations are doing it because they think or know they’re supposed to, but not because they have any plan or idea of its purpose or opportunity.
From the day I walked into Fair Oaks Church in 2005 I’ve been stunned by the amazing talent of our Worship and Arts Team – I imagine most people coming into Fair Oaks have that experience, how could they not. And it’s not just about the vocal quality or orchestral arrangements or precision performance, it’s about the creativity, the passion, the bravery to glorify God in a way that pushes the envelope and pulls people out of their comfort-zone to see their faith and beliefs from a different angle.
It would be easy to assume that with a group so artistically talented that music is the full measure of their gifts. NOT SO. This group has an authentic spiritual depth that I have had great pleasure experiencing through the FairOaksArts blog, especially over the past several weeks.
The FairOaksArts blog was started in May of 2008 and was launched as a place to “find out info on new songs, videos, updates on current projects, reviews, sneak previews, articles, random thoughts and more.” ... but it has grown a bit since then.
This past September, Pastor Stokes started a sermon series about Worship that was specifically NOT about the songs we sing in a given church service. Although it’s often what we think of first when we hear the word “Worship,” music should be only one of many things on that list, and I wouldn’t even put it first.
The FairOaksArts team picked up that ball and ran with it – or should I say blogged with it. Throughout the Worship sermon series, each of the staff took their turn at expressing their thoughts on worship as more than just the songs we sing in church and I was blown away by the depth and diversity of their spiritual perspectives.
It’s too easy for us to see the people around us one dimensionally – he’s the media guy, she’s the singer, he plays the piano – because that’s all we see of them externally. But that really sells us short, as much as it sells them short. What richness of faith we would miss out on if we never looked beyond the art to the spirit and heart of the artist.
Let me note that these posts of recent weeks on the FairOaksArts.com are certainly not the staff’s first foray in expressing their faith through blogging (Mike Zizolfo’s are a frequent favorite of mine), but it was the deliberate initiative for all of the Arts Team to build on the collective momentum of the single topic of worship that brought true volume to the Loud On Purpose mantra.


Phishing has emerged as a key factor in most security breaches. Where email used to be the primary means of delivering such attacks, technology advances and raised awareness are making such attacks less effective. Attackers have moved on to more sophisticated web-based attacks that are much harder to defend against. A new approach based on live phishing detection as well as self-learning capabilities helps stop attackers in their attacks, before attacks can reach their intended victim.

With Janet Yellen at Treasury, Joe Biden signals further blurring of fiscal, monetary policies
on Jan. 4, 2019.
In nominating Janet Yellen to become his Treasury secretary, president-elect Joe Biden has opted for a steady hand and consensus-builder to steer U.S. fiscal policy just as economists increasingly warn the country is poised to slip back into recession.
Progressive activists had been pushing for the appointment of Massachusetts Senator and big-government advocate Elizabeth Warren to take the reins at Treasury. Wall Street will be relieved that Mr. Biden picked Ms. Yellen instead, even if she, too, could seek to toughen financial regulations loosened under Republican President Donald Trump.
The highly polarizing Ms. Warren would have faced a challenge winning a confirmation and is likely to remain so following two Jan. 5 run-off elections in Georgia. Ms. Yellen’s confirmation is unlikely to be a problem, regardless of which party controls the Senate.
That does not mean her appointment is an entirely uncontroversial one, however. While the 74-year-old labour economist is set to make history as the first woman to hold the top job at Treasury, after serving asbetween 2014 and 2018, her appointment will serve to further
The Fed’ has long been a sacrosanct principle of U.S. government, insulating the central bank from political pressure. However, the current crisis has led to an unprecedented degree of co-ordination between the Fed and the Treasury department, as the central bank moves to facilitate expansionary fiscal policies.
That trend is expected to accelerate under Mr. Biden. The president-elect has already called for the renewal of a Fed lending program that Congress enacted as part of a March stimulus package but that the current Treasury chief Steven Mnuchin last week said would end on Dec. 31. The FeMr. Mnuchin’s move, appearing to some critics to have waded into political matters.
Ms. Yellen would become just the second former Fed chair to serve as Treasury secretary, following the appointment of William Miller in 1979. But his tenure at the Fed lasted barely a year, while his move to Treasury cleared the way for the highly regarded Paul Volcker to take over at the central bank, where he proceeded to wrestle runaway inflation to the ground.
Under current Fed chair Jerome Powell, the central bank has signalled that it will allow the annual inflation rate to surpass its official target of 2 per cent in coming years to make up for long periods of below-target inflation. A similar review of inflation targeting is now under way at the Bank of Canada, which appears to be preparing to follow the Fed in adopting a more flexible approach toward inflation as governments face massive postpandemic debt burdens.
The Fed has ramped up its quantitative easing program since the pandemic struck and the U.S. economy entered a steep recession, from which it only partly recovered. Driven by purchases of Treasury bonds, tUS$7-trillion from barely US$4-trillion in February. QE and near-zero interest rates have lit a fire under the stock and real estate markets, buttressing the investment portfolios of the richest Americans, while low-income earners bear the economic brunt of the pandemic.
The Bank of Canada has followed a similar playbook, tripling its holdings of federal government bonds since February to more than $280-billion. It recently announced plans to purchase a minimum of $4-billion in federal debt weekly for the foreseeable future.
Central bank debt purchases – which are funded by the creation of new money – have pumpednd enabled governments on both sides of the border to fund historic deficits at record-low interest rates. They have, hence, prevented a much deeper recession by facilitating extraordinary public spending.
The longer-term risks of such monetary measures remain a matter of serious concern. In addition to further inflating asset bubbles and exacerbating economic inequality, they could lead to a loss of credibility as central banks take on roles beyond their traditional mandate to fight inflation.
“The blurring of monetary and fiscal policy means that it is crucial to have proper guardrails around policy co-ordination. In their absence we see a risk that major central banks could lose grip of inflation expectations relative to their target levels,” said a report last week by analysts at the global investment firm BlackRock Inc.
Such a development would unwind decades of hard work by the Fed and the Bank of Canada to put the lid on inflationary pressures that eroded investor confidence in the 1970s and could eventually lead to.
Few policy makers are likely as acutely aware of such risks as Ms. Yellen, whose credentials arguably make her the most qualified Treasury nominee in modern history. But she is also proof of the increasingly tight relationship between fiscal and monetary officials that some critics fear could lead to a gradual loss of central bank independence.
The Fed’s Mr. Powell has been highly vocal in calling for Congress to adopt another massive stimulus package toon once many current aid measures expire on Dec. 31. Even if you agree with him, such advocacy risks running afoul of the very “guardrails” BlackRock rightly suggests need to be maintained.
Ms. Yellen’s appointment will only make maintaining them that much harder.

The picture above was what awaits us when we go back to finish the hike up Little Rock Creek. We found it the other morning while heading to Lake Como for a short hike as we were limited by time and it’s easy. However, on the way to the trailhead I got distracted by a sign pointing to the Little Rock Creek TH which I had read about the other day. Seemed a lot more interesting so we detoured and ended up driving several miles up the forest road and eventually found the trailhead.
We had been planning to go since we really enjoyed the event last year. We took the Jag on a shakedown cruise a few weeks prior with the British Motoring Club of. We made it almost all the way to the top of Trail Ridge but the Jag was once again having trouble with the engine overheating and we ended up having to turn around. I knew there was no way we could successfully complete the Rallye with the cooling system not functioning properly. So, I bit the bullet and pulled the radiator out. I took it to a radiator shop and had them clean it out. Got everything put back together just a few days before the rally and did it ever make a difference.

In their turn thoutlying zones.
Veins in the lower limbs may be located near the surface (surface or supra-fascial veins) or in depth (deep veins, sub-fascial, in muscular interstices).
One-way valves, or venous valves are built into the wall of the venous system to help blood flow towards the heart where this is most necessary, where the blood flow is most difficult and to prevent blood from flowing back down (venous reflux).
They are activated by the muscles responsible for lower limb movements and together with muscles they act to "pump" venous blood.
Abnormalities in the circulatory system
With the passage of time and as a consequence of incorrect habits, pregnancy, familial predisposition and hormonal problems the walls of veins may gradually dilate, losing tone and elasticity. The one-way valve system is impaired. Blood struggles to get back to the heart and tends to stagnate, especially in the distal parts of the legs (first the ankle and then the calf).
These are small red or bluishcommonly called "capillaries". When they dilate they become very visible and form spider vein blemishes. In most cases they are formed without precise causes and even when there are no circulatory problems. Onset can be favored by: familial predisposition, pregnancy, the "pill", trauma or excessively vigorous massages.
This is the presence of a blood clot in the veins, often caused by slowing down of blood flow. Thrombosis can strike deep veins with the risk of pulmonary embolism. If the thrombus forms in a superficial vein (often varicose) the skin becomes red and hot, the vein is painful and hard and inelastic. Ge.

Healthier Together: Enjoy the sun safely
By: Amy Nay , Sponsored Content
As temperatures creep to near record highs this week, experts with Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah want to help keep you and your family safe in the summer sun.
Wellness consultant Allie Henderson says, “Try to plan your activities early in the day when the sun’s UV rays aren’t the strongest.”
“If you are outside, even if it’s cloudy, make sure you’re” says Henderson.
Don’t forget to re-apply. Henderson says sunscreen should be re-. And don’t forget to check the expiration date.
“I know a lot of us are just re-using sunscreen from previous years, and while they still may be good, you just want to make sure it’s still safe and effective to use.”
Proper sunblock can keep you and your loved ones from suffering from uncomfortable burns, but more importantly, skin cancer.
“On average, the risk for melanoma doubles when a person has had at least five or more sunburns,” says Henderson.
Henderson advises about 180 lbs., you’ll want to get 90 ounces, or about 12-15 glasses of water per day. Make sure you stick to water too – alcohol and caffeinated beverages can contribute to dehydration.
Early dehydration signs to watch out for include:
Experts say you should sip water, a sports drink or fruit juice at the first since of dehydration. If symptoms become more severe, go to the emergency room.


Here we go, folks. It’s showtime. We are just 5 days away from the Iowa caucuses.

INSKEEP ON CLEAR MESSAGING TO YOUNG VOTERS: Speaking as part of a roundtable on ABC’s This Week, NPR’s Steve Inskeep said: “Well, here’s the situation. Bill Clinton, when campaigning for his wife the other day, made a rather perceptive point, in which he said — and he was dissing Bernie Sanders by saying it a little bit — but Sanders has simpler slogans that are easier to say, easier to remember. He’s also, though, admitting to Hillary Clinton’s problem. If you look at an issue like, say, public education, just to take an example. Sanders has a very simple talking point, rybody. Hillary Clinton has a more nuanced position. She wants to make college more affordable, but still wants people to pay. It’s a different philosophy, really. And it’s a little bit harder to talk about.”
GRANHOLM PITCHES ACHIEVABILITY OF CLINTON’S COLLEGE PLAN IN RESPONDING TO INSKEEP: Responding to Inskeep’s comments, former Michigan Governor and Clinton surrogate Jennifer Granholm said: “Getting stuff done is the thing that moves me, that makes my — gives me goose bumps. If you want to talk about college, free college for all, the response is why would we give Donald Trump’s kids free college? I have a plan that is workable for real people and I’m going to work to get it done.”
DEEP DIVE–BERNIE’S TRACK RECORD WITH YOUNG VOTERS: Senator Sanders’ 2-to-1 lead among young voters has been getting lots of media attention — from Democratic debates to the Sunday shows, so our friends over at CIRCLE took a look at just how well Sanders has performed with the constituency in the past. “Senator Sanders may be leading among youth in the national polls, but does he have a history of young people casting ballots for him? Recent national polls suggest that Senator Sanders currently leads Secretary Clinton among national samples of young people. According to the recent Rock the Vote/USA Today millennial poll, he leads nationally by 46%-35% among Democrat and Independent identified millennials (ages 18-34). The Economist/YouGov found that 44% of under-30 registered voters preferred him and 25% favored Secretary Clinton. Senator Sanders’ previous campaign record is in Vermont, where he has performed strongly among young people according to exit poll data. In his 2006 Senate election, Senator Sanders ran as an Independent and won 77% of young votes (compared to 65% of all votes). In his 2012 Senate re-election bid, again as an Independent, Senator Sanders received 86% of young votes (compared to 71% of all votes). Vermont, however, is demographically very different from the nation. During his last re-election campaign in 2012, for example, there were around 93,000 young citizens (18-29) in Vermont, of whom 93% were white non-hispanic. Nationally, in 2012, 62% of youth were white non-hispanic. The sample sizes of young people of color in Vermont are too small to indicate how many voted for Senator Sanders. Among young people in Vermont, Senator Sanders has performed about the same regardless of the voters’ education levels but less strong among moderates than among liberals.”

Google is making a change to its Android security systems today that is meant to ensure that users whoe are a bit safer from malicious apps.
The new continuous checks use the same app-scanning technology Google already uses on Android and in its Chrome browser.
It’s no secret (PDF) that Android accounts for the vast majority of mobile malware. Very little of it (0.1 percent according to some reports) comes from Google’s own Play store. Instead, the main vector for malicious mobile apps are third-party stores — often in countries where Google doesn’t offer an official store itself.

Since the SARS epidemic of 2003, there has been a renewed emphasis on improved global preparedness for health threats.
Preparedness for global health threats
Even prior to COVID-19, there was consensus that the world was not prepared for global health threats. In 2019, concludednformation from the Prevent Epidemics ReadyScore showed that most countries were not prepared to find, stop, and prevent disease threats. As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread, these preparedness gaps in countries have been exposed. The Global Health Security Index launched in 2019 found thatDoes it matter in COVID-19?
The obvious question is whether the preparedness level of a country has made a difference in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Do countries that score higher on preparedness for more common outbreaks and epidemics perform better in the current pandemic? The relationship between preparedness and COVID-19 impact is difficult to answer, as both are complex and hard to measure. In this insight, we used simple metrics for each to see if any patterns emerged.
Several country-level preparedness indicators exist including:
IHR State Parties Self-Assessment Annual Reporting tool (SPAR). The only mandatory (under IHR 2005) obligation for reporting on progress toward building preparedness and response systems. SPAR is self-reported annually and subject to bias, although it has improved in recent years.
Prevent Epidemics ReadyScore. The ReadyScore is a simple number that estimates country preparedness for the nearly 100 countries that completed and reported status on a Joint External Evaluation.
Global Health Security Index. An index of the g.
For the purposes of this analysis we used the ReadyScore to capture country preparedness
Assessing an effective response to COVID-19
Case counts. Case counts and trends are highly dependent on the testing strategy used in a population. They also depend on the types of cases (asymptomatic, presymptomatic, symptomatic, deaths, recovered) detected. Testing data is currently variable in availability and quality.
Death counts. Deaths are easier to detect than cases, but are highly dependent on age distribution, burden of underlying conditions, and case management. In some locations with a large proportion of community deaths, COVID-19 deaths may be undercounted.
Case fatality ratio (CFR), or the number of deaths from COVID-19 out of the total number of COVID-19 cases captures several aspects of the COVID-19 response. In a better prepared healthcare system, the number of deaths should be reduced as cases are detected earlier, and hospitals are better prepared to manage severe cases. The number of cases should also be higher, as more testing is done to understand the full extent of COVID-19 spread in a community and to support isolation and quarantine measures. Overall, the lower the CFR the better, although its magnitudefactors.
Age-adjusted CFR. Similar to the CFR but accounts for the age of the population. Limited by the availability of age-specific death data.
Lag-adjusted CFR (LA-CFR). Similar to the CFR but accounts for a two-week lag between illness onset among cases and deaths. This adjustment is made by using current cumulative deaths in the numerator, but cumulative case counts from 14 days ago in the denominator. It also avoids an underestimation of true CFR during exponential growth, as recent cases may be rising without corresponding deaths (because of the lag).
Case-PHSM interval. It is clear that earlier implementation of COVID-19 interventions results in slower and less overall transmission. The timing of public health and social measure (PHSM) implementation can be compared to epidemiologic thresholds (e.g. first case detected) to provide a country-specific indicator of response timeliness.
Country ReadyScore
Republic of Korea 92
UAE 91
DRC 35
What the chart shows: More prepared countries tend to have older populations. This is important to note since age is the most important risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease including death. We would expect that countries that are more prepared would have higher overall mortality rates, all other things being equal. Outliers from this trend include high-income countries in the Middle East, and Japan and some other high-income countries which have a high proportion older people.
ReadyScore and testing
Assumption: Countries with higher preparedness scores would also be expected to have more testing, since they are more likely to have robust laboratory networks, resources to procure test kits, and trained staff to administer and process tests.
What the chart shows: Comparing overall tests done per thousand through 1 May 2020 with ReadyScore, we see that countries that are better prepared have done more testing per capita. Some countries, such as Japan and Thailand, do not have the magnitude of testing one might expect based on their preparedness score. It is important to note that the number of tests needed depends on the size of the outbreak and the control strategy in place.
Assumption: As discussed earlier, CFR is affected by many determinants (including age) but generally improves (goes down) if there is robust testing and good case management. Unfortunately, data is not available across all countries to adjust CFR for age. Still, one would expect that LA-CFR would be lower for better prepared countries, as they have more robust testing, better equipped health care facilities, and trained staff to take care of severely ill patients.
What the chart shows: Looking at LA-CFR by ReadyScore, we can see that better prepared countries do have lower LA-CFRs. Some of the best preparhave LA-CFRs near 10%. Examining LA-CFRs over time would also be useful to see if there is a decline as clinical care and treatment options improve.
Assumption: Better prepared countries act sooner to protect their populations as indicated by a lower or negative interval (which indicates that the first PHSM was implemented before the first case).
Some key observations can be made whensome key COVID-19 indicators. Better prepared countries tended to be older and test more of their population. They also had higher CFRs, but lower than expected given the proportion of older people in their populations. This indicates that countries that are better prepared do a better job finding cases and preventing deaths. Better prepared countries did not act sooner to implement PHSMs,t country level, including other factors that influenced decision-making.

Slashing the police budget for 2021 by $15 million hurt recruitment, resulting in only 42 new hires as opposed to 250 in a normal year, Bowser said on Wednesday. She called for another $11 million to hire and train 20 more officers in the current fiscal year, and 150 in 2022. The proposal is unlikely to be approved by the city council, however.
Bowser's turnabout on crime came after a year of advocacy on behalf of groups such as Black Lives Matter, which have openly called for "defunding the police" and described policing itself as intrinsically racist. Last July, during the riots outside the White House, Bowser had a street corner named Black Lives Matter Plaza and had city workers paint the words along a stretch of 16th Street Northwest.
In March this year, she reacted to the gruesome carjacking and killing of an Asian American Uber driver outside the Washington Nationals stadium - for which two African American minors were later convicted - by warning residents to be more careful in preventing "crimes of opportunity."
Meanwhile, the groups calling for defunding and abolishing police have received yet another injection of funds from billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, the conservative-leaning Washington Free Beacon reported, citing federal records. Soros gave $1 million in May to Color of Change, described as a racial justice group, which has repeatedly called for defunding the police. It was his largest single political donation in 2021.

Defund the police, crime increases.


I keep forgetting to put my fall photos up here -- or just procrastinating, I guess. It's been a real source of happiness for me to get out and take photos of beautiful things, and I'm at least a month behind in posting the results. Orchards (slideshow here) have been the most frequent target, as they've been putting on the most spectacular displays as the seasons change again. I've been noticing shadows (and here) and tunnels lately, but colour is getting elusive as it drains away into winter.
Big thanks to Angelo and Imogene for hosting one of the highlights of our trip.
This is an interesting one. As part of my discovery of Oliver Schroer, I found out that he primarily played a five-string violin. My curiosity piqued, I picked up a cheap-o 5-string electric from a company in China that was listing on eBay. As I had my eye on five-string violas as well, I asked them if they'd be able to make an acoustic one to my specs, and they gave me a very reasonable price. After some back 'n forth, fits and starts, they finally got it built and sent it out across the planet. It blows my mind that I can exchange some e-mails with someone in China and have a custom-made instrument shipped here in a few weeks.
It arrived on Monday -- the woodwork is beautiful, exactly like I had hoped. As expected, the fittings and setup are poor -- this is apparently the story with nearly every instrument imported from China, as if they've figured out the wood part, but not much else. By the time I put good strings on, get it adjusted and set up properly, it won't be such a bargain any more, but hopefully the sound will make it worthwhile. My plan is to string it with a low F, giving it a range nudging into the cello world...or if that doesn't work out, the standard tuning plus a high E string to cover the range of the violin.
Dec.7 Update: I've been playing this beast daily for a few weeks now, and it's getting better.  I wouldn't say it's better than my old one, but not worse either. I've been working on a half-dozen songs lately, and recorded them with the camera, since I don't have a proper audio recorder yet. So this isn't compelling viewing, but if you're curious about the kind of music I'm composing right now, this gives a pretty good overview. My challenge now is to envision how other instruments might join these tunes, ideally meaning that the viola could fade into accompaniment at times -- I'm thinking that these could be arranged for a small group of three-four instruments, and crafted into 2-4 minute instrumental songs. Some percussion would be great, some plucked strings, and something to fill in the bass end.
When a guy doesn't post for a couple of weeks, then busts out a thousand words on the minutest details of a rock concert, you know he doesn't have much else going on.  I've regained a few millimeters of movement in it too, which is better than the zero I had last week. I've really missed riding my bike. Thankfully I've still been able to play viola and take some pictures.
So now I'll bust out another 1000 words on our five days in Vancouver, an adventure for us that would barely register as a real trip for normal people, never mind something worth taking 400 photos of and rambling on about online for imaginary audiences. Nevertheless, we needed a getaway, and the highs outweighed the lows by a longshot.
Not the best drive in, with Ezra cranky and high-maintenance, but he did sleep for about an hour (small mercies). Highlights included fancy bread and coffee from Bliss in Peachland, then fries and milkshakes in Hope, because we're all about the healthy living on vacation. Snow on the connector, but not enough to slow us down much. We squeaked across the Port Mann before the traffic got too insane (bigger mercy).
Checking in at The Sylvia is the best. It is totally our home away from home in Vancouver. We love starting our days there with breakfasts overlooking English Bay.
Esther and Imogene kindly dropped me and Angelo off near GM Place where we proceeded to wrangle a couple of beers and burgers at one of the packed pubs. I've already said too much about the U2 concert, but I'll repeat how great it was to meet my old friend for a couple hours of merriment.
The next morning Ezra and I walked across downtown to meet Angelo and Imogene at the Roundhouse, where we explored the old steam engine, then got on the Skytrain. Ezra had been talking about riding the Skytrain ever since the girls reported on their experience a few weeks ago. Many times a day: "Daddy, I wanna go on the Skytrain sometimes". So we did, and it was quite a thrill. Better yet, we took the new line to the airport and watched giant planes taking off from the new observation deck. Planes and trains in the same outing = Ezra in his glory. It was outstanding to hang out with Angelo and Imogene.
Dear friend (and midwife) Barb hosted our clan for supper that night, which was brave and generous of her. Salmon and squash feast with stir-fried greens and pasta...yum. The kids were a total gongshow, so I whisked them back to the hotel so Tannis and Barb could hang out a bit like normal people. No photos, sadly.
The next morning Tannis and the girls went for breakfast while Ezra and I went to see Cass and her new (8 months old) little Luke. Very nice to see her in her element and catch up a bit. Also forgot to take any photos...duh.
We had some gloomy clouds and rain, but a few stretches of nicer weather. We did a few great walks along the seawall that yielded a whack of photos. Fantastic to spend time by the ocean.
I snuck out to the art gallery later in the afternoon. I love being there. The main floor exhibit was devoted to landscape photography and painting. I haven't tended to pay much attention to this genre, but it was beautifully displayed and I felt like I was studying and learning. There was an interesting photography exhibit and some great Group of Seven stuff, but it was the Emily Carr/Jack Shadbolt exhibit that really rocked me. I was familiar with both artists, and had seen most of the Carr paintings before...but the Shadbolt stuff blew me away. Incredible energy and evocative images. I resorted to arguing with a tired security guard to let me get one more look before they closed.
Bill hosted our traveling gongshow Friday night. We hadn't seen his apartment before -- he had made it out to be a dump, but we thought it was fantastic. Unfortunately, traffic woes and Ezra's screaming had us arriving in mental tatters. Thankfully, Bill saved the day by busting out a killer train set that kept Ezra mostly occupied for pretty much the whole visit. Excellent pizza, some beers and hanging out. Our breakfast plans for the next morning didn't pan out, but perhaps we can lure the Baker Boys over here once more before winter begins in earnest.
After checking out of the hotel, we hooked up with the Eidse crew again, descending on their lovely home in East Vancouver. Great welcoming vibe there, and everyone was pretty happy and mellow. We ramped things up for Halloween later, getting everyone (well, except humbug me) costumed and geared up for trick 'r treat action. We couldn't have asked for a better evening -- warm, calm, a bright moon, good old friends, and a great neighbourhood for the kids. There was definitely some Halloween magic floating around. I put a few photos here.
We checked into a Super8 in Langley that night; a decent place with a nice pool that everyone enjoyed after breakfast the next morning. Then out on the open road, with no real stops until Sanderson's in Keremeos for veggies and curry.


Our "borrowed babies," or our Safe Families kids, have been here three and a half weeks. We're settling in to our new routine.
It's a bummer to have chosen their pseudonyms so early on, before we "knew" them as well as we do now. I would absolutely change Miss No to something a little less negative. She's a sweetheart, with a good spark inside of her. There's still a lot of "NO!" from her, but there's a lot of compliance now, too.
Big Sis is making progress. It's neat to see and hear new things from her. I still feel strongly that she needs services and she's still a seriously delayed little girl, but she's teachable to some extent, which is encouraging. She's getting better at dressing and undressing herself. She takes her bowl & spoon to the sink. She puts her dirty laundry where it goes. We're working on putting 2 words together now. (Yes, she's 3.5 years old.) We've done, "Night night, [sister's name]!" the past couple of nights. She willingly repeats the Night Night part, and has to make several tries to get sister's name on there at the end. Tonight we tried, "Night night, Ese!" as we passed Annaliese on the way to bed. It took a few tries, but she got it! I still can't get her to say Auntie.
I'm seeing a lot more smiles from Miss No. She likes me. And she's a snuggle bug, which is fun. Baby Gogo is a snuggle bug, too. In fact, one day I was holding Big Sis through a raging tantrum, and both Miss No and Baby Gogo climbed up on either side of me on the couch and leaned on me.
Mostly, we're just taking one day (sometimes one hour) at a time. It's a lot of work, but it's rewarding work. Still no idea how long they'll be here. And that's okay. We'll just worry about today, and see what happens with tomorrow when it gets here.
