I hope that all of you had a Merry Christmas and through the love of family and friends, felt the love of God as well.
After three days with no one other than Fr. Bernie and I around, campus is gradually coming back to life. Two break homes opened on Monday. About 15 high school students who are in sports are back, along with a few younger students who have a need to be here. Yesterday Laura, one of our custodians, made her usual 7:30 a.m. stop at the high school home to empty trash and accidentally set off the alarms! During the school year, students are already up and on their way to school by then. With the holiday schedule, they were all still sleeping, and when she opened the doors the horns and whistles started blaring. Our students got out of bed much quicker than normal – maybe something the houseparents can keep in mind for the future!
The week before and after Christmas brings different rhythms to St. Joseph’s Indian School’s campus. Some days are frenzied, others so very quiet. Last week, our grade school youth were home for break, but our high school students stayed through Thursday. Stress levels were high as the students took exams and finished the final semester projects and papers. I could see the visible signs of relief on their faces as families came to campus to pick them up for vacation.
My holiday temptation toward over-eating had several worthy opportunities. Our facilities department had their annual holiday luncheon on Tuesday. They can be proud of the quality and quantity of projects they can say they accomplished as they look back over the past year.
The development office had their Christmas pot-luck on Thursday. The fall pot-luck features a lot more fresh vegetables from the garden, while this spread was filled with dishes that you need to eat in moderation, but I don’t always have the will power not to fill your plate.
While the campus is quieter without children around for a few days, many of our staff are still hard at work. We have thank-you’s to send to the many generous donors we heard from during Christmas. With the homes empty for a few days, it’s a good chance for the fix up projects that are too noisy or messy to otherwise do.
Also on the list is snow removal – but we haven’t had much of the white stuff yet. The mild weather has allowed us to focus on other projects, especially the Stevens & Matthias Home remodeling.
The milder weather has also let the outside construction contractor to make good progress on the Iya Tokeya Inajin – They Stood Here in the Beginning – Alumni building. This week and last they have put up support columns and attached the aluminum studs. The frame of a building going up is one of the most noticeable and dramatic parts of any project.
Last week, three members of our committee took a drive to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to make some decisions about concrete castings to be used for the exterior. A four-hour round trip for a half hour meeting seems like a lot, but in South Dakota we get used to the mileage. What we don’t have too often is traffic. My brother, who lives in Chicago, can get stuck in traffic that long going but a fraction of the distance. With the good company of Tom (facilities) and Dixie (museum director) our conversation made the miles fly quickly by.
On Christmas Eve, I traveled north to the parish in Stephan, on the Crow Creek Indian Reservation. When we don’t have campus masses, I enjoy returning to the area parishes I used to serve. Christmas is a wonderful time in small towns to see the extended clans and I caught up with many people who have moved away, but came home for the holidays.
Because of a larger than expected crowd, we completely ran out of hosts and I had to break the last few I had into tiny fragments. But I suppose even a little bit of Christ can do a lot for people who believe.
I hope Christmas services strengthened people’s faith and experience of God’s love.
On Christmas Day, I did the cooking and invited all our area SCJ parish priests to relax at our community house after a long weekend of Masses.
This week, I have very few meetings. The end of the year gives me a chance to clear the desk and dispatch with the 15 and 20 minute projects I pushed aside in the pre-holiday rush and also have time for some of the long-range planning that we’re in the midst of.
‘Happy New Year!’ Fr. Steve- and, all of the priests.
Wow! A lot said- I can picture the whole scenario, this Christmas week.
I have scene our priests break the host to accommodate a crowd; it’s one in the same.
Bed bugs are often found in your mattress.
Bed bugs got their name because they are often found in your bed. They will feed on you while you sleep. They inject an anti-clotting agent into your blood when they bite you to make their feeding easier. Their bites cause little welts all over that are hard and irritating. If they cannot find a human host they will also live off of the blood of other creatures, including birds and bats. Even though bed bugs do not usually carry or spread disease, they should be treated immediately to prevent skin irritation.
Take apart your bed. Separate the mattress and the box spring. Take the box spring off the bed frame. Remove all bedding. The more parts that are exposed, the more likely you are to find the hiding place of the bugs.
Vacuum your mattress and box springs using your upholstery attachment. This will remove any of the bed bugs on the surface as well as their waste that may be left behind. This will also remove any skin cells you left behind.
Use a flash light to illuminate the inside of your box springs. Bed bugs can use tears and gaps in the mesh covering to make their way inside it. Look to see if you can see any bugs through the meshing. If so, use a knife or box cutter to cut the mesh on the bottom of your box spring, so you can access the inside. Use your crevice tool to vacuum the inside of the box spring and remove visible bugs.
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on your mattress and box spring. Diatomaceous earth is a product made from ground up microscopic fossils. Choose the food grade version that is found at garden supply stores, not the pool grade found at pool supply stores.
Leave the powder on the mattress and box springs for at least four hours. The longer you can leave it the better. Diatomaceous earth works by dehydrating the bugs. The longer you leave the powder on your mattress the more bed bugs it will impact. If possible, sprinkle it inside your box spring or inside any open crevices in your mattress.
Vacuum up the diatomaceous earth after allowing it to sit for several hours.
Wash all bedding in the washing machine using laundry detergent and hot water to kill any bugs that may be on it. This includes your sheets, blankets, mattress covers, bed skirts and pillows. Dry the bedding in the dryer using a hot setting.

Bed bugs are back and they’re no joke. We’re Ecologic Entomology.
In the event of a severe infestation, call a professional exterminator.
Reduce clutter in your home to help remove infestations not in your mattress. Bed bugs like to live in areas such as your hampers, luggage and furniture. Wash soft toys and clothing in the washing machine as you did your bedding. Clean behind, under and in all furniture, including drawers.
Ensure there are no cracks or gaps in your walls. Use caulk to seal up spaces in baseboards and around wire entry and exit points in the walls. Vacuum the room thoroughly. Make sure you get the baseboards, under and around all furniture, and inside any other crevice. Seal up the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and dispose of it outside immediately.
Use a stiff scrub brush to scrub your carpet in affected rooms. This will dislodge any unseen eggs.
Our best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year to you,your staff and children. I hope the winter is good to you-better than last year and the year provides many blessings.

Haven't got a scooby doo as to what happened to my sidebar. Probably something to do with the length of the last post. anybody got any suggestions?
It would appear my suspicions were correct, my last post was excruciatingly long. In order to maintain the site integrity, I'm just going to keep the number of posts per page short... until the template can cope. If you want to see what I've been talking about prior to what you see before you, you'll have to check the archive.
Why not be totally spontaneous and randomly pick an archive month to peruse... go on, you know you want to!
Glad you dropped by the other day. I have been lax in my blogging of late. I guess you could probably call it writer's block. Well it seems to be lifting now. I also have been experimenting with a myspace blog as well to see how that works out.
God bless you my brother. I'll try to visit your new blog as often as I can.
Been watching this new series here in N.A. called Heroes. I don't know if you get it there in the U.K. but I think you would enjoy it.

Les membres de cette organisation comprennent les administrateurs universitaires seniors et le personnel responsable des questions postdoctorales dans les universités, ainsi que les organisations de recherche du Canada. Les autres personnes intéressées à ces questions (représentants d’organisations de financement et d’organisations postdoctorales) peuvent être membres associés.
Why pursue the postdoc path?
Concerns have been raised about labor market imbalances that see a growing number of postdoctoral researchers pursuing a limited number of faculty positions (1–4). Proposed demand-side solutions include capping the duration of postdoc training or hiring more permanent staff scientists (1, 4, 5). Others focus on the supply side, arguing that Ph.D.'s need better information about labor market conditions and nonacademic career options (4, 6, 7).
Postdocs are innovation engines, but where are they going?
Postdoctoral Fellows (PDFs) are innovation engines driving science, technology, discovery, and change. They have become critical to the cutting edge research being done at Canadian universities. This was a key message echoing throughout the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Association of Postdoctoral Scholars (CAPS-ACSP) held jointly with the 2015 Canadian Association of Postdoctoral Administrators (CAPA) conference.
This report examines the employment opportunities and outcomes of PhD holders inside and outside academia, the state of professional skills development for PhD students, and examples of professional development initiatives in Canada and peer countries.
Postdoctoral Scholars are valued members of the university community. As trained researchers, they have the opportunity to make significant contributions to both the research environment of the University and to their chosen field.
At the University of Calgary postdocs are valued members of our community, and make indispensable contributions to academic research. Our program includes one-of-a-kind funding and fellowship opportunities that enable postdocs to pursue world-changing research.
Deepen your expertise, further your research, and launch your career with a postdoctoral fellowship in association with the University of Toronto.

Web Access of moodle console is slow & www-root consuming 100% CPU Utilization.
For some days, every time a user of our Moodle opens a task, the use of Apache CPU goes up to 100% and causes the server to collapse (we must restart it every time it passes).
We have the latest version of Moodle (3.6.2), we use Plesk with MySQL and PHP 7.2.
I have checked that we have debugging and theme editor functions disabled, but we do not know what to do. Any ideas? We will be very grateful!
Sorry, I mean an Assignment activity. This problems happens when you try to open any of them.
We're going to need to know a lot more about your server.
What does "collapse" look like? Can you check the load? Is it using swap.... and so on?
About swap, actually only uses 255.00 MB out of 3.00 GB.
Like Jean-Pierre, we also use nginx and Apache.
You say, these CPU peaks coincide with students submitting assignments? What are their numbers like?
If so, the obvious thing to investigate is a lame file system. Could be database store or the moodledata directory.
The CPU is Xeon E5620 with 1 core? (The Munin graph confirms that.) But E5620 is 4 core 8 thread CPU. How do you explain that?
About Swap: The machine should never swap. It is there for an emergency. The machine has 2 GB RAM. It is possible that this is the problem (or one of them). Study the other Munin graphs like load average and memory usage.
For a week (Upgrade from Moodle 3.5.3 to 3.6.2) , we are encountering the same problem : some tasks (for example : editing a course or displaying results in tests) crash the server. Here is a screenshot from my Virtual Machine (Debian 9.3 + Apache 2.4) on VirualBox which is a copy of the production server (3 servers with Debian 9.6 + Nginx).
Is it possible to see top on the true production server ... instead of a VirtualBox and clone of production on whatever? Not the same environment.
And this time, do share what's on the top 5 lines of the 'top' output ... one can copy that text and paste it into a text file to post back here.
Oh, yeah ... I would not shut off cron for a couple of days to see what happens ... can predict a back log of task that will be heavy processing on the DB and server will be slower when cron is started again. Uhhhh ... that's kinda the opposite direction desired.
One other thing to check .... in 3.6.x there is now a path to php-cli in config of Moodle.
Search site admin menu for path.
Typcially, that path is /usr/bin/php but so far in VPS systems in a user jail (public_html) have found on TMD, LiquidWeb, Host-Ed, and now HostGator ... that is NOT path to the php-cli.
A which php might show /usr/bin/php but turns out that was not the php-cli that's needed.
Look for that PATH variable in the output of env command.
I cannot tell you what the path would be ... dependent upon config of cPanel or how WHM does things on VPS systems with different vendors.
If you don't see (php-cli) in the output of -v then it's the wrong PHP ... it's not the php-cli Moodle is seeking to use.
The one you find with (php-cli) is the path you want to use in paths of Moodle config.
Did you fix the problem? cause I have the same and didn't find a solution.
We run the cron.php manually, once per week.
Here is what happen when students logs to their Moodle accounts and to a specific courses.
"IMPORTANT: Do not skip setting up the cron process on your server for your Moodle. Your site will not work properly without it.
It is recommended that the cron is run every minute, as required for asynchronous activity deletion when using the recycle bin."
And what version of Moodle are you running?
And have you checked the paths ... to php-cli ... in moodle config?
*IF* that variable is set to use the PHP for the web rather than php-cli then Apache would spike ... me thinks.
Initial login by anyone ... even guest ... records activity the largest table in the DB ... that of logs (the who done it). If running anything web services ... like the mobile app ... you'll find multiple entries in that table for just one student logging in or accessing the site.
Settings in moodle for how long to keep data in logs come into play. Running statistics? - for how long?
** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ** to keep the DB lean and mean. That's the purpose of the cron job.
Now that your server has probably a back log of things to do in the tables, cron will take longer to catch up.
Wouldn't be surprised if you needed to do the cron job via the command line ... script in code/admin/cli/ several times to catch up.
We setup the cron to work every minute on crontab and recreated the course with assignments causing the problem. Now the system seems to be fine.
We'v got the following errors when running the cron!
can you please have a look on the attached text file?
Cron is trying to convert some files using GhostScript, but the path to ghostscript (/usr/bin/gs) is not correct.
Try installing Ghostscript, or correct the `pathtogs`.
Reinstalling GhostScript fixed the problem.
+1 to what Andrew said! Thanks Andrew!

Here at Mira La Belle, we're all about frugal and invidual fashion. That being said, DIY-ing is definitely one of my favourite past times. The best way/ path to individual fashion is to make things or put your on twist on things.
I have been loving tassels for a while now so I decided to make a tassel necklace pendant.
I had been wondering what to use (was actually considering the ring of a key holder) then it finally hit me- I could upcycle an old ring. Fortunately for me, this ring had a pendant on it so I just removed the pendant and passed the neckilace through the jumpring.
This DIY is, infact, bohemian inspired. Looking for a way to add a pinch of bohemian to your wardrobe? You can do this using jewellry and this tassel pendent is the perfect candidate.
Cost: You probably already have the materials needed. If not, a pack of yarn is about 100naira (less than $1) so this DIY is quite cheap. You definitely wont use all the yarn.
Time taken: Minus the time taken for the paint to dry out, this should take less than five minutes.
- Yarn. Grey yarn or something of a light colour that show the ombre effect we're going for.
Pass some yarn through the ring. Make sure it's just the right thickness so want. I wanted mine quite full and long so I used a lot. Put into mind that its going to be folded so while cutting, remember to double then check the thickness.
Make sure the two sides are equal then cut.
On to the tying stage! The thread being used for the first tying should be very strong and not likely to snap easily. Yarn is not good under tension so this is advisable but skippable. Use the yarn to reinforce or cover the thread used.
It rather looks like a strapless dress doesn't it?
Trim off the tassel so everything's the same length. It makes for a more professional look.
1.You could either dip the tip of the tassel into paint then dip half of it into water for a fading ombre look.
I obviously recommend the latter. Dip your paintbrush into the paint the tip of the tassel then dip the brush into water and work your way up the tassel. This is a more controlled method.
The necklaces and rings in this pictures were DIY'd. The ankara rings are a future post *wink* and the shorter necklace was made from earrings (before I decided to become a DIY blogger). Stay tuned for more DIYs!
How would you/did you repurpose your rings and earrings?
Don't forget to keep up with MLB on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Google Plus and Bloglovin', lets connect!
- Bohemian style inspired by Vanessa Hudgens.
Now this I'm def going to try!!!
Great! I'd like to see pictures.
Hi darling, how are you today? I love this, another great post.
Lol. 1 dollar is less than 100 naira? You don't know what's going on with exchange rate ?
Cassie o. I said 100naira is less than $1 Not the other way around. ($1 is 255naira for now) Glad you like the DIY(s). Be expecting more.
Well done! It's so pretty and unique.
This is so cool! I love DIY stuff and I'm actually gonna try this out in my free time!
yaasss! Send me the pictures when you're done please.
Thank you grace! I wasn't so patient before. But knowing that I'd be blogging about it made be patient by force.
Are you serious?? Can a pendant be made so easily? Is it durable enough & won't loose it's color?
Yes, a pendant can be made that easily and it's durable if you do it right.
This pendant was made December 2015 and I have been rocking it ever since. You can check it out in this style post I did August 2016. It has not lost colour or spoilt.

Egg Harbor Township, NJ, January 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- L.A.

Glass and Door, LLP, increase their online and mobile visibility, thus enabling a greater number of local customers to find them online.
This move is significant because 89% of United States adults use the internet regularly, according to data from a 2018 poll by the Pew Research Center. With nearly nine out of ten consumers going online to find information about various topics, it's becoming increasingly vital for today's businesses to have a strong web presence.

According to Matt Gallo, Prospect Genius's senior online marketing specialist, being easily searchable online is essential to a business's success. He explains, "Due to our constant attachment to smartphones, computers, and tablets, we're always connected to the internet in some way. This means going online is the easiest mode of research for most people."
"For that reason," Gallo continues, "Prospect Genius is trying to capture valuable web traffic for L.A. Glass and Door. We do this by making sure they rank highly for terms related to commercial glass, custom glass, windows, and the like. This is the most direct way to get in front of their local customers."

Absolut Vodka recently launched a new line of fresh summer flavors that are branded with creatively colorful water paint labels. The labels feature a color and design that was specifically chosen for its connection to the flavor.
Each bottle is amazingly different with its own beautiful water paint label. The cohesive flow throughout this line can be seen in the unique watercolors that are splashed across the clear bottles. Some bottles like the one that contains the flavor peach have painted-on images of fruit in a messy yet elegant form. Other bottles such as the vanilla flavor are adorned with smeared lines or letters.
The line was produced by Brand Union Stockholm to give the clear vodka bottles a creative and distinct look among the other vodka varieties currently on the market.

There have been plenty of thrills and spills in the first round of the Adex-sponsored Heath Park Cup 2015 as teams from in and around Dacorum battle it out for local bragging rights.
One of the stand-out results so far saw Abbots overcome Kings in the battle of the Langleys as they hit 152-7 in reply to their neighbours’ score of 150-8.
Elsewhere, Northchurch saw off Chiperfield Clarendon, and Ivinghoe & Pitstone were victorious against Berkhamsted – quite a coup from the side who also beat Tring Park in 2013.
With the Little Gaddesden/Potten End team hitting 168-7 to see off Boxmoor (109 all out), this sets up an interesting game between Ivinghoe & Pitstone and Little Gaddesden/Potten End in the second round.
Arguably the tie of the first round saw Hemel Town get the better of Tring Park in a closely fought game.
Tring batted first and finished on 134-5, which was a good hauling back by Hemel as Tring were 72-2 after 10 overs.
Duncan Maddinson scored 41 and Tom Haw notched 34 for Tring, while Hemel bowler Brett Penny had figures of 2-16 from his five overs and Parth Mehta snared 1-26 from his five.
At the same 10-over stage, Hemel had only managed 51, but crucially for the loss of only one wicket.
Brett Penny opened and made 53, Tom Elborn clubbed 26 and Chris Blunt (18 n/o) and Sam Jenkinson (19 n/o) saw Hemel through to 135-4 off the last ball of Maddison’s last over.
A trip to Leverstock Green A in the next round is the reward for Hemel.
There are still two first round games to be played – Langleybury v Met Police, and Leverstock Green B v Watford Town – and these are due to take place next week.
Second round draw: Abbots Langley v Langleybury or Met Police; Leverstock Green B or Watford Town v Northchurch; Ivinghoe & Pitstone v Little Gaddesden/Potten End; Leverstock Green A v Hemel Hempstead Town.

It pays to carefully pick among the best hosting sites.
But, I know. It can be confusing when you search the web for the best place to host your blog.
There are so many options. But you need just one hosting solution.
In addition to that, you have to be careful with your investment. Not all web hosts you’ll find will fit your unique needs. And some of them are just bad hosts with high paying affiliate commissions.
In this post, I will try to help you find the best blog hosting service you’ll stick with as an happy customer.
I’ll review 3 among the top web hosting sites. So, all options are reliable web hosts with fast and secure servers. Only your unique needs will make the difference.
PS: I don’t want to be too biased. There are other good hosting companies out there. But you can’t go wrong picking one of these three web hosts.
After the review, you’ll know which one is the best to host your blog.
The hosting services we’ll consider together are: Siteground, Kinsta, and WPX Hosting.
To help you choose, let’s talk first about what to look for in a web host.
I’ll specifically talk about what a blogger look for in web hosting.
Storage and bandwidth: You need storage space for your website assets such your text, images, scripts, etc… You need bandwidth too which is the amount of data transferred to and from the server for your blog. You need enough resources to your blog to run.
Infrastructure: what kind of blog do you want to start? Is this web host suitable for applications that you’ll run. What’s most important to a blogger is the ability to run a website that load fast (Ram and server processor), updated programming language (PHP, MySQL, Java).
Scalable: Is this web hosting company designed to help you when your blog traffic grow.
uptime: the server must be online to deliver your blog when your readers ask for it.
Type: Depending on your need, you’ll have to choose among managed hosting, shared hosting, or dedicated hosting.
Price: When you find services that work for you, an important factor to consider is the price. It is wise to consider the first payment and the renewal rates as they sometimes differ.
Security: you don’t want your website to be hacked. One of the security breach can be your host and you can do nothing about it. It is best to start with a secured web hosting site.
Limitations: server resources are limited. So, your host will set limits. Knowing these limits before you join will help you make a better choice.
Support: you need your web host customer care service to be there if you have a problem.
We’ll review each of these aspects when talking about the hosting providers below.
I use Siteground to host AskEustache.com. This is the one I am most experienced with and the one I highly recommend to most bloggers.
Their plans range from $3.95 to $11.95 per month for the first bill. Renewals are at a higher rate ($11.95 to $34.95).
a fast loading host: I get TTFB under 200ms with Siteground alone. It goes to up 400ms (more is not better) when I enable Ezoic ads.
excellent support: I remember that I got my first presale answer within 30 seconds using the chat. And as a customer, I experienced chat and email support. Both are great.
competitive pricing: While the renewal rate is comparable to other hosts in this list, you get up to 70% discount for up to 36 months. I saved $806.4 with my first payment and paid only $430.2.
your website can work within the limits set on shared hosting plans.
However, if you need more than shared hosting, the Siteground’s cloud hosting services start at $80 per month. The cloud plans don’t have these limitations. Keep in mind that shared hosting is not for high-traffic websites with around 200,000 views per month.
Side Note: What About these suitable for 10,000; 25,000; or 100,000 visits?
For eight years, I stayed away from Siteground services because I saw those suitable for ~visits on the plan page. Somehow, I was wrong.
I use CloudFlare as a free CDN to cache static resources. I remove unnecessary plugins that consume server resources. I enable Siteground Optimizer (free plugin for sites hosted on SiteGround), it caches objects and save resources.
With that set-up, I never use more than 20% of my allowed resources while getting a decent traffic. So, my plan is suitable for more visits.
I use the GoGeek (Semi-dedicated hosting) plan for $11.95 / month (first billing).
I highly recommend Siteground to bloggers who need premium shared hosting plan on budget.
(I have so many things to say about Siteground. But I think it’s best to read my Siteground Review).
The thing is that Siteground is old and well established. They are fast and it’s not because they do not have enough clients to put load on their servers. They have infrastructure to serve fast pages from low to high-traffic sites.
I recommend you to pay for full 3 years to save even more. You can always ask a refund within the first 30 days if it is not right for you.
Kinsta is apparently an expensive service. But when you look closer, it is not that expensive.
Like any of the listed web hosting options in this list, they are reliable.
Their plans start at $30 for 20,000 visits.
But this price include KeyCDN services, security protocols and firewalls, things you would pay for separately.
Unless the pricing isn’t good for you, you’ll look no further for a managed WordPress hosting company.
Kinsta will migrate your website for free. And it is a good thing because it is likely that you started blog on a shared plan.
They use 18 premium Google Cloud Platform to store your pages near to your visitors and deliver your pages fast.
They give free SSL and free CDN.
They take care of security measures so you don’t have to buy security plugins.
Their architecture (PHP 7, MariaDB, SSD drives and NGINX servers is designed for speed.
They have daily backups and proactive hack prevention.
WPX Hosting offers hosting plan starting at $24.99 per month, $20.83 per month paid annually, for up to 5 sites. Their limits are storage space and bandwidth. Somehow, it gives more flexibility than Siteground or Kinsta.
For now, it performs slightly better than them in tests I’ve read. I am not a current customer to testify if it stays the same.
They have their own CDN which is available for free at any plan.
Plans include automatic backup and malware scanning.
You want to start on a budget while you want high quality services. You’re ready to optimize your site to consume less CPU and scale as your site grows. I personally use and love Siteground.
I recommend it to for new to pro bloggers.
You want managed hosting and built-in security measure for your site; and you’re willing to pay for it.
New bloggers may not be able to afford it.
You want a managed hosting company with bandwidth and disk space limit only. But unlike Siteground, there is no (up to 70%) discount with first billing.

We all know that colours and scents can seriously affect our mood… but did you know that even your hair products can help decide how you are feeling? That’s because skin absorbs upto 60% of what we put on it and the scalp has some of the most fragile skin anywhere on the body.
So, choose your haircare ingredients carefully and sail through the day cocooned in bliss: mint and menthol-spiked hair products offer the perfect wakeup call, and will have you refreshed even after a completely sleepless night even as they cool down dry and dandruff-prone scalps.
Want to calm down? Or regain your focus? Opt for shampoos, conditioners or hair oils that contain soothing ingredients like lemongrass, watermelon and tea tree oil. These are not only natural astringents and terrific at decongesting the scalp, but the slightly warming sensation and aromatic qualities also relax the scalp muscles and make you feel calmer.
Seek indulgence? Stock up on nurturing ingredients like palm nut or coconut oil, which nourish tresses and make them softer, while making you feel utterly blissful with their delicious food-based scents.

While I was dining out with my children, a man came over to our table, and we started talking.
With a raised eyebrow, he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family. I said, "No, I also work ... out of our home."
Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby, and he wondered what hospital our son was born in. "He was born at home," I answered.
The man looked at me, then said, "Wow, you don't get out much, do you?"

WHO: Francis Ford Coppola recently cooked pasta for film students in Cuba. We’d like to know if he can also come chef at our place, but this time it’s our books that need cooking. We need to make our three figure income look like six, otherwise the only way we’re getting a bank loan for our dream condo is by sticking up the place.
WHERE: Director and five time Oscar winner Coppola recently paid $2.5 million for a two- bedroom apartment in the West Village, where the median rental price is $4,095 and the median sales price is $2.225 million.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE: Sorry, Godfather fans. There are no apartments currently available in Coppola's building, but if you want to snag yourself a similar two-bedroom, there are 12 on StreetEasy at the moment, ranging from a (small) $899,000 two-bedroom on Perry Street to a combined two-bedroom, two-bath on Horatio Street that's asking $3.3 million.


text: We are all aware that there is a spiritual battle to be fought to end human trafficking. Freedom Team will join Rescue Her by partnering in prayer once a month on Thursday nights before Impact Weekend. We will drive around DFW and pray over the motels, their staff, the freedom of girls trapped in trafficking, and the women we will be connecting with through our Phone Bank that weekend. You will play a key part in the fight against human trafficking by praying against the darkness, declaring freedom and justice, and interceding for those trapped in slavery!

If global warming carries on without action Bangladesh could disappear with one third of the country already less than 3 metres above sea level as cyclones and flooding will become more devastating.
But Bangladeshis refuse to be helpless victims. At home they are raising the land to match sea level rise and already saving thousands of lives with improved cyclone defences. And this week in Marrakech, Morocco, they will be taking a leading role in the CoP 22 climate change negotiations – trying to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees to halt sea level rise, and pushing for compensation for the damage already done by industrial country emissions.
Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world, because it is on a rich delta and feeds itself. But that comes at the price of a hugely variable climate, which brings devastating floods and cyclones. Scientists and government officials realised two decades ago that climate change would make floods and cyclones worse and that sea level rise was a huge threat, so they have taken a leading role among developing countries. They were the first to have a climate change adaptation plan and set up their own climate change fund. The Bangladesh government spends $1 billion (£750 million) per year on climate change, three-quarters of which comes from the government budget and only one-quarter from the donors and lenders. And large and skilled Bangladeshi teams are involved in the annual climate change negotiations.
The response to climate change is built on the untold story of the country’s response to its difficult environment. When Cyclone Roanu hit the Bangladesh coast on 21 May 2016, 538,000 people were in shelters. Through forecasting, warning and shelters, Bangladesh has cut the fatality rate in cyclones by 99 per cent. There have been three ‘super cyclones’ in the past 50 years with wind speeds over 222 km/h: Bhola in 1970 killed up to 500,000 people; Gorky in 1991 left 138,000 dead. Sidr in 2007 killed 3,363 – still too many, but less than 1 per cent of the fatality rate of 1970. This huge drop is due to national actions, and is little known elsewhere because the system is Bangladeshi designed and developed and is not a product of the aid industry.
Similarly, coastal communities, working with national engineers and scientists, have developed ways to raise the land to match sea level rise, using some of the billion tonnes of sediment that comes down from the Himalayas each year.
Bangladeshis refuse to be a helpless victims and will keep their heads above water – if industrialised countries curb greenhouse gas emissions to limit that amount of damage done by global warming.

Pending before the Court is petitioner Rodney L Brown's (“petitioner”) motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence (doc. 1). Petitioner raises ten (10) grounds in support of the motion. After review, the Court dismisses the motion for timeliness.
Once a district court enters final judgment it lacks jurisdiction to continue to hear related issues, except to the extent authorized by statute or rule. See Carlisle v. United States, 517 U.S. 416 (1996). The following post-judgment motions are allowed if timely filed: a motion for revision made under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35, a motion for new trial made under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33, and lastly, as filed here, a collateral attack under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. “A motion . . . for postconviction relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is subject to a one-year time limitation that generally runs from the ‘the date on which the judgment of the conviction becomes final.'” Clay v. United States, 537 U.S. 522, 524 (2003), quoting 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f)(1).
Here, petitioner did not file a notice of appeal after sentence was imposed and judgment of conviction was entered. Therefore, petitioner's conviction became final in January 2010 (doc. 268), and a timely motion under § 2255 had to be filed by January 2011. Instead, petitioner's § 2255 petition was filed March 13, 2018, some eight years after his conviction was finalized and seven years past the one year statute of limitations deadline. To support why his motion is filed so untimely, petitioner claims he “wasn't aware of [the] decision or sentence” as he had escaped federal custody prior to sentencing and absconded to Mexico. See doc. 1 at 4; 13. When petitioner was apprehended some seven months after his escape, he was taken into State custody where he remained until January 2017. Id. at 13. Petitioner claims he had no access to the courts during this time - from 2010 to 2017 (id. at 10) - and did not learn of his sentence to be able to file a direct appeal or other post-judgment motion until he was released into federal custody in March 2017. Id. at 15.
Petitioner makes the inference in his motion that the one year limitations period should run from the date he claims he became aware of his federal sentence, March 2017. See doc. 1 at 15 (“As soon as defendant was in federal custody (3-9-2017) and became aware of his sentencing (3-14-2017), Defendant filed a Notice of Intent to file an out-of-time appeal and requested transcripts. The Courts denied said motion and this is the first opportunity the defendant has had to file 2255.”). The Court is not persuaded that March 2018 is the first opportunity petitioner has had to file a § 2255 petition. To support this accusation, petitioner merely makes repeated, conclusory statements that he “didn't have access to the courts”, yet does not provide any information as to why. His § 2255 petition does not demonstrate why petitioner was unable to access the courts for a seven year period of time nor does it state any viable reason to toll the one year statute of limitations from the date his conviction became final. Furthermore, petitioner does not cite to any case law establishing that committing a criminal act, such as escaping from federal custody, is grounds to extend the limitations period.
Petitioner's § 2255 motion was filed over seven years late and clearly, is untimely. His claims should have been raised, and could have been raised, within the statute of limitations period as petitioner has presented no valid reason why he was not aware of them until 2017. Accordingly, his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion is DISMISSED with prejudice.
Further, the Court also DENIES a certificate of appealability as to the § 2255 motion. A certificate of appealability is required before a habeas petitioner may appeal an unfavorable decision to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); FED. RAPP. P. 22(b). The Court denies a certificate of appealability as reasonable jurists would not debate that the denial of petitioner's § 2255 motion is proper. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000) (stating, “a habeas prisoner must make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a demonstration that, ... reasonable jurists could debate whether (or, for that matter, agree that) the petition should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were “adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further”) (citation and quotation marks omitted).
 Petitioner's January 29, 2010 sentence took into account crimes committed in the 276th Judicial Court of Morris County, Texas, and was to run consecutively to the, at the time, undischarged terms of imprisonment for the Morris County cases (doc. 265).

Through this ClickFunnels review, I’ll be breaking down everything for you in an easy to understand way so it’s possible to observe just how ClickFunnels works and start applying it immediately to get leads to your company.
Before continuing with this ClickFunnels Review, let’s explain what a marketing funnel is. In advertising, it’s a procedure that takes people who do not know you personally and turns them to customers, aka a advertising funnel. In e-commerce, a sales funnel is a set of measures developed to direct a web site visitor into the checkout page.
There is a less dull method of considering it. Step 1: Imagine that a funnel. Measure 2: Imagine this funnel is really a metaphor, and instead of actual ingredients to pour down the funnel, you’ve got metaphorical ingredients which you telephone traffic or website traffic. Your website visitors are looking around, checking out things. Your site is beautifully constructed, and your content is topnotch!
Unfortunately, that still doesn’t turn a great deal of your customers into clients. At a physical store, that’s like people walking into your store but not understanding where the cash register is, so that they leave the store without buying anything. At a physical store, you can speak your customers into purchasing something. Within a digital shop, you might be a bit more remote from the consumers. That’s where your funnel comes in–it is designed to attract your clients’ through fundamentals of psychology. The funnel functions incremental, draw visitors in closer and closer until people end up in a webpage.
Should you feel that seems cool, you’re right –it has turned into a massive bargain for online advertising. Russell Brunson didn’t only become wealthy by promoting ClickFunnels technologies, but by using it also.
ClickFunnels started out as a way to assist Brunson and his team produce funnels more quickly for distinct ventures, as creating funnels would normally take months. But they soon realized their creation would be valuable to others and had good potential as a commodity.
Concerning layout — the appearance and texture of your posts — ClickFunnels treats you to some fantastic selection of templates that are beautiful. Not only can these spare a lot of effort and time, you also have the confidence that these templates are tested and are demonstrated to convert. Again, Brunson started the tool to empower his own salespeople and entrepreneurs sell more goods.
As you can see, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Some of the cons are quite nitpicky, like the URLs being cluttered, but this is more of a personal preference than anything. I am conscious that there are a number of other landing page builders that we’ll utilize, for example Thrive Architect from Thrive Themes. For me , I have found the funnel step integration for some of the simplest funnel software to design nevertheless.
Lead Capture Funnel: This sort of sales funnel lets you capture email addresses of your site’s visitors. The funnel’s chief objective is to assist in improving your mailing list. Afterward, this list could be used as a constant customer touchpoint as well as a path where you can market your services and products to prospective customers via email. This type of funnel functions for any company!
Revenue Page Funnel: This funnel permits you to market more goods or services by implementing upsells, downsells, or even 1 time provides to your clients. The intent of utilizing this kind of sales funnel would be to draw more earnings from the present pool of consumers.
Webinar Funnel: Webinars are a excellent way to provide more value and participate potential customers. This very valuable sales funnel boosts your own webinars or online events. Lots of bloggers come to Growth Marketing Guru to learn best practices for webinars — they’re seriously popular sales tools today.
Survey Funnel: This funnel has two major functions. The very first one is going to be to enable you to engage your prospects by having them answer survey questions. Secondly, you get more insight of who your prospects are through surveys. All these, then, allow you to understand your prospective customers and create pages or content that are more conducive to your intended audience.
As it is possible to use ClickFunnels to perform a great deal of things like marketing automation and membership sites, their effectiveness is your core revenue funnel builder that I believe is the best in the business.
Ultimately it boils down to if ClickFunnels is ideal for you or not and it depends upon your individual requirements. If you’re searching to build only a couple of landing pages to build your email list, you probably don’t need ClickFunnels.
However if you’re trying to construct a sales funnel to advertise any service or product, ClickFunnels is definitely a tool that you want to consider utilizing. There’s no better method of constructing your funnels if you are among these sales-focused entrepreneurs.

As one of the most widely consumed beverages and appreciated in Italy and around the world, it is very important to learn to drink coffee while respecting the environment.
The consumption of coffee capsules is now widespread habit and even Italians seem to have abandoned the use of the good old coffee pot. In fact, with this system you can make coffee in a few seconds and the quality does not appear to be affected.
A recent survey showed that coffee not only was the drink most loved by Italians, but, regarding the use of the capsules, occurred precisely a considerable increase in consumption compared with traditional methods. For most it is now a true daily ritual that is impossible to give up. L ‘favorite flavor is the classic one, although very popular tastes seem to ginseng and hazelnut. Obviously there is always someone who does not mind to “correct” the coffee with a small addition of liquor. Among the spirits most popular, in the head are the grappa, brandy and rum.
This boom in consumption, on the other hand gave rise to the problem of recycling of coffee capsules.
Currently, there are mainly two types of capsules: those in aluminum and plastic ones (although recently started the production of capsules made with biodegradable materials). E ‘need to remember, though, that these objects are not considered as packages, so they can not fall into the collection but must be disposed of in the rubbish.
Only a small amount of coffee capsules is subtracted from the garbage and is reused as a material for creative recycling (for example, costume jewelry, decorations for bags, sandals and belts or other accessories for domestic use).
All the rest is destined to landfills and incinerators. Nationally talking about huge amounts of plastic and aluminum to be disposed of every day.
PLASTIC CAPSULES ARE THOSE MOST COMMON, BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS A MATERIAL THAT ENSURES THE QUALITY AND SHELF LIFE OF COFFEE. UNFORTUNATELY, BUT ARE THOSE WHO OWN MORE HARMFUL EFFECTS, IN VIEW OF THE LARGE QUANTITY TO GET OVER.
Regarding the aluminum caps, however, it is possible to retrieve small pieces of material to reuse. In fact, the aluminum capsule is 100% recyclable. The problem is that not everyone has the patience to extract capsule to capsule and throw it in the appropriate bins. As for the companies, there are already some projects with specific entities (such as the CIAL) which would ensure a sustainable reuse of aluminum caps. Even the coffee residue left in the capsules, would be destined for composting for rice cultivation.
For those that want to continue to enjoy coffee in capsules without harming the environment, the ideal solution would be to store them, and deliver them at the shops and collection points that collaborate with the CIAL. Not a big hassle because often you will be going there anyway to buy new ones.
In the future, as mentioned earlier, is expected increasing the use of capsules made of fully biodegradable materials, which will gradually replace those plastic and aluminum.
In fact, the use of Mater-Bi, a bio-plastic derived from plants, will allow us to throw the wrapper is that residues of coffee directly in the damp.
The important thing, However, Is that we can continue to enjoy our favorite coffee without seeing impaired quality and at the same time Respecting our eco-system.
WE do not discover definitely now that Italians are big coffee drinkers. The tasty mix is among the most consumed products by Italian families, but also the most popular for breakfast at the bar, between colleagues during the break in the office, and the other between classes at the university and as a rite concluding at the end of meals .
In Italy you consume on average 6 kg of coffee per person per year, the equivalent of about three cups a day per person.
Some people prefer to prepare it at home with the traditional coffee or pods, those who use the instant coffee and those who prefer to enjoy it comfortably at the bar.
The type most consumed in Italy is the short coffee, which contains a small amount of water to make it more intense aroma and flavor.
Follow the coffee, which is obtained by swishing a bit ‘more of water in the cup; coffee stained, to which is added a small amount of milk (usually foamed hot or too cold) and proper coffee, which is eaten after pouring a few drops of a liquor choice between grappa, brandy, rum, anisette or sambuca .
Apart the famous cappuccino That Is served in large cups and contains higher Therefore Amounts of Both milk (up to 130 ml.) And coffee (up to 30 ml.).
Also, now you can enjoy many different types of coffee, thanks to the significant expansion of the market for wafers, with many tastes increasingly appreciated. Over all, the aromas that are more successful hazel, ginseng and cocoa.
In any case, of any type of coffee it is, you can safely say that Italians are real coffee lovers.
In addition to good taste, to the pleasant aroma, the unmistakable trail of odor that emanates, because coffee is so desired?
According to scientific research, there are also components neuro-biological behind the irrepressible desire for coffee. In fact, the senses of taste and smell are the neurobiological basis of the desire of coffee: caffeine activates two neurochemical pathways essential for the well-being, that is the way “dopaminergic”, which regulates appetite and the “serotonin” which regulates mood.
In addition to the numerous beneficial effects, many of which are already known in antiquity, the coffee, when taken in moderate doses (it is recommended not to exceed 3 cups a day), helps reduce fatigue, increase physical performance and can also be an effective antidote to combat the aging brain.
Thanks to another study, focused on the Italian market, we can distinguish seven categories of coffee drinkers.
First it must be said that according to statistics, in Italy women consume more coffee than men and that in the South and in the North-West you drink in larger quantities. Nearly 70% of Italians drink coffee in the morning, while more than half can not help it after lunch; a third of Italians finally prefers eat it without sugar.
3) The “morning”: those who drink coffee at breakfast mainly to get the right charge daily.
6) The “variables”: those who drink more or less amount of coffee according to the periods. Emblem of this category are university students: with the approach of examinations lose count of the coffee consumed per day!
7) The “occasional”: consumers are not “chronic” of coffee, but do not escape the practice when it comes to taste a cup in the company: a breakfast with the whole family, together with colleagues during a break or just as an excuse to meet an old friend.
And you, that certainly will be a coffee lover, which category do you belong?
On caffeine and its effects if they feel a lot every day, in good times and bad.
Despite being one of the substances most consumed in the world, many ignore what it actually is and how to act, and often remains a question mark: caffeine is good or bad?
Caffeine, whose scientific name is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is a substance naturally contained in a great variety of plants: besides the obvious coffee plant, in fact, caffeine is also present in the cocoa, tea , cola and several other.
Throughout history, man has then found out that this substance, in moderate doses, causing numerous beneficial effects and learned to make the drink, first of all the coffee, still one of the most widely consumed beverages by mankind.
Since ancient times, man has discovered some effects of coffee and the precious substance it contains: occurred, quite easily, that this increased attention, helped him stay awake, provided energy and vigor.
Rapidly absorbed from the stomach, caffeine acts as a stimulant of the central nervous system, resulting in increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. In this way, you have a stimulus indirect sympathetic nervous system and an increase in heart rate, blood flow to the muscles, reducing blood flow to the skin and a release of glucose in the liver.
All these mechanisms cause the body and the nervous system are more prone to physical effort and intense mental activity.
Contrary to what many believe, the use of caffeine should not be in conflict with a healthy sport. If used in moderation, in fact, encourages the use of fatty acids as energy substance, limiting the decline of muscle glycogen, which means, in layman’s terms, that during an intense effort you have a higher consumption of body fat and a lower risk cramps.
Next to 350mg (about 3 cups of coffee) taken one hour before exercise, would already be able to improve performance in the resistance of medium duration, thus allowing a greater duration of physical activity equal commitment; also the same physical activity can slow down the process of elimination of caffeine.
It is also important to reveal that this does not constitute any sort of doping more than it is a diet rich and nutritious!
Obviously, it should be stressed that the consumption of caffeine should be tailored to their body mass and still moderate throughout the day: beyond a certain threshold of caffeine, in fact, the benefits provided by it stop increasing.
Also in the study, as well as in the work, a reasonable consumption of coffee can help: in addition to increasing the attention and ability to remain active and concentrated, recent studies of Hopkins University Baltimore seem to show that, among the benefits of this drink , there is an increase in the long-term memory.
Let’s start by saying that the coffee and its side effects revolve many exaggerations and myths.
First, despite the caffeine is, in fact, a “drug”, or that induces a degree of dependence, tolerance and addiction, it is considered that these effects are present to an extremely modest: in fact, a much stronger dependence , consumption being equal, is alcohol or even television.
It also false the common belief that coffee causes risks of heart disease, cancer and osteoporotic; None of these claims has never been demonstrated, contrary to its various beneficial effects.
The only situations in which demonstrated caffeine and coffee may cause damage consists in situations of abuse, or cases in which the concentration of caffeine assumed exceeds a certain limit (which still amounts to tens of cups a day).
Recall that even water, if consumed in excessive amounts, can damage the body!
Ultimately, it being understood that any excess is harmful, one can say that a small amount of coffee daily is, in its small support in a thousand every day activities.
The ultimate blend of coffee and technology will give an answer to the following question: from now on what to do when your phone is out of battery? Simple: head to the nearest bar and order a coffee !! Provided, however, that the drink is served hot and that you have brought the revolutionary “One Puck”.
Now smartphones with their many functions have become indispensable tools for young and old and are used at all hours of the day, with the risk of finding themselves the old battery and remain so isolated from the rest of the world.
Some young engineers of the American Epiphany Labs (Pennsylvania), in fact, have just launched this new invention inspired by the operation of the engine “Stirling”, managing to get energy from various external sources, in particular, drink hot or iced.
For several years the ‘Epiphany Labs is engaged in the research and development of engines and other innovative and environmentally friendly. The revolutionary product was put on the market in early 2014 and immediately met with some success, especially in the US.
The charger in question, which was launched at a price of $ 99 (about 75 Euros), is expected to get a further boom in the coming years and should soon be marketed in Europe.
The operation of AnL Puck is very simple: using it as under-glass, just place the cup of hot coffee on the surface colored red (since you can use the blue tinted side to get energy from frozen drinks) and connect your smartphone through the very common USB cable to recharge the battery.
The warmth of the drink will be converted into energy, and within minutes you will be able to recover just enough to be able to carry out urgent transactions from their mobile phones. From today, so who will on the street and do not have the ability to charge your cell phone, you can go to the nearest bar and enjoy a nice hot coffee thus combining business with pleasure!
From now on the classic coffee tasted in the morning its service only to recharge our bodies and to deal with the right charge the day, but can also be used to charge your smartphone or other electronic device that has a USB input .
We at Cafe Pompeii, however, we believe always that the best coffee is not sipped the fly or in emergency situations, but that consumed and enjoyed slowly, especially when you are in the company of friends … maybe, taking off for some minute your smartphone!
Good coffee at all !!!
Cooper is back! Dopo mesi di indiscrezioni è ufficiale: Kyle MacLachlan e la sua tazza di caffè torneranno a vestire i panni dell’agente speciale Dale Cooper nella già annunciata nuova stagione (la terza ed ultima) di Twin Peaks. In occasione dei 25 anni della serie televisiva che ha segnato un’epoca e un’intera generazione di spettatori, il duo Lynch/Frost ha deciso di realizzare una miniserie di 9 puntate che sarà trasmessa sul network televisivo statunitense Showtime. I lavori cominceranno già quest’anno, mentre il debutto è previsto nel 2016, data che segna i 25 anni esatti dalla trasmissione dell’ultimo episodio della serie e mantiene intatta la promessa fatta dalla sfortunata Laura Palmer: “Ci rivedremo tra 25 anni”. Al recente appuntamento con i Television Critics Association l’attore è salito a sorpresa sul palco, prendendo un “tazza di caffè dannatamente buona” (la frase tormentone del suo personaggio nella serie) dal presidente del network David Nevins e confermando così la sua presenza nel cast. Quello tanto amato dall’agente Cooper, però, non è il nostro rinomato espresso, bensì il cosiddetto “caffè filtro”, una bevanda aromatica e ricca di gusto, consumata particolarmente negli Stati Uniti e in Nord Europa. La percolazione, ovvero il passaggio lento di un liquido attraverso un solido filtrante, venne perfezionata in Germania agli inizi del ’900. La macinatura deve essere media, e questo perché quando è troppo grossa il caffè presenta, infatti, un gusto debole, mentre quando è troppo fine il gusto è amaro. Inoltre, per un buon risultato, in tazza il caffè andrebbe gustato entro poche ore dalla preparazione. Tornando al nostro Kyle MacLachlan e all’atteso ritorno di Twin Peaks, si conoscono pochi dettagli al momento: le uniche cose certe sono che la terza stagione della miniserie sarà ambientata ai giorni nostri, oltre 20 anni dopo gli eventi raccontati nelle prime due stagioni, e continuerà la storia raccontata nelle precedenti puntate. Lynch e Frost daranno una risposta a tutti gli interrogativi lasciati in sospeso, offrendo alla serie un giusto finale (molti non lo sanno, ma l’ultima puntata della seconda serie non ha mai rappresentato per i due una conclusione effettiva, una terza stagione era prevista ma non è mai stata realizzata a causa di un brusco calo degli spettatori, che ha comportato la cancellazione dello show). Caffè Pompei vi suggerisce di preparare le caffettiere: ci aspettano lunghe notti insonni in compagnia dei nuovi misteri di Twin Peaks!

Tim Dunlop has a posted some reflections on compulsory voting in Australia. My hunch is that he’s probably right that a legal obligation to vote, backed even only by a minor sanction, would improve voter competence—however that is measured. There’s a good doctoral thesis out there for someone interested in sorting this out more systematically.
Compulsory voting? Have a look at my fabian pamphlet on the subject. It’s three years old but still pretty relevant.
Thanks for the link–I think your report is very helpful. More like it would be a good thing.
